How Much Ace Loved Luffy (and so does Sabo, but this is mostly about Ace)

I have been suffering from the worst One Piece brainrot. Seriously, I cannot think about anything else without bring it back to One Piece, which is particularly unfortunate this month when my schedule is completely nuts.

(A few days ago, I was reading a scientific paper and I saw the word "doctrine" and went "omg Dr. Kureha??? Why is this paper mentioning One Piece?"—it's that bad.)

The thing I have been thinking about the most is Luffy's relationship with his brothers.

First off, I would like to say that I vehemently disagree with the take that Sabo is just Ace 2.0. While the relay of their stories can make them feel that way on an emotional level, exacerbated by Sabo succeeding Ace with the flame-flame fruit powers, I think Oda has done an excellent job showing that they are very distinct not only in personality, but in their relationships with Luffy.

Ace was always the first brother.

He's the one who knows Garp just as well as Luffy. He's the one introduced to Luffy through Garp. He's the one Luffy initially attaches himself to. He's the one who was there all through Luffy's childhood and adolescence, who can do a handstand on Luffy's head with no explanation, knowing that Luffy can hold him and knowing that Luffy will understand exactly what he is telling Luffy to do.

Ace was also always the most self-deprecating brother. When he was arrested, his first and only request was that nobody tell Luffy about it. When talking to Jinbei, he tells him that he would have worried Luffy couldn't live without him, but having seen his crew, he knows that Luffy will be okay.

When Luffy hears that Ace is in trouble, his first reaction is that Ace has his own adventures, and that Ace will be angry if he drops everything to chase after Ace. But when he is told that Ace is in Impel Down and his execution day is already scheduled, he drops everything, including reuniting with his crew, to sneak into the highest security prison in the world to try to break out his brother.

Meanwhile, Sabo is the kind brother.

If Ace was aware of how codependent Luffy was with him and tried to utilize tough love to push Luffy away, he's also always been the most inclined to bicker and trade mockery and insults with Luffy. Meanwhile, Sabo has always been more inclined to be concerned for Luffy, and use positive reinforcement to help Luffy improve. When Ace and Luffy were at odds, Sabo was often the mediator.

Sabo and Ace have known each other longer than either of them has known Luffy, but their relationship as brothers exists because of Luffy. As Sabo pointed out in his farewell letter to Ace, they never even defined what kind of brother they were (a thing that has more significance in Japanese, where big brother/younger brother are terms far more common than the neutral "kyoudai", which translates to elder-brother-younger-brother, and can often denote a non-blood relationship).

Luffy is their crybaby weakling baby brother, and they are both willing to throw everything aside if they are worried that Luffy might be in trouble. Not once in the story have Ace or Sabo showed up without stepping in to rescue Luffy somehow.

But today, the rescue that sticks in my brain is the most painful one of all: the death of Portgas D. Ace.

In a world full of people who exposit about the honor and dignity of a death with a back unmarked by scars, Ace dies with his back to Akainu, whose fist goes right through the tattoo proclaiming Ace's loyalty to Whitebeard.

Whitebeard's significance in Ace's life was huge.

With Ace's anger issues rooted in a childhood of being told he should never have existed, his arc is about learning that yes, he deserved to exist—he deserved to live.

And while Luffy's love, Luffy declaring how much he needed Ace, provided something of a salvation, some kind of purpose, it was not enough. Because Ace was trying to teach Luffy to be self-sufficient—was trying to help him to grow up into a man who wouldn't need Ace. Even at the very end, as he thanks Luffy for loving him, he describes himself with self-deprecation.

Being needed wasn't enough. Ace needed Whitebeard, because he needed a parent figure whom he could believe loved him, for whom he was enough. His relationship with Dadan was too utilitarian: he brought her food, and she let him stick around. His relationship with Garp was too marked with the conflict born of Garp's stated wish for Ace and Luffy to become marines. Whitebeard was the first person to embrace Ace exactly as he was and call him his son, and never expect him to be or do anything else.

Ace is genuinely surprised at the war that is waged to save his life.

Not only does he not expect Luffy to show up, he doesn't even expect Whitebeard to show up.

Regarding Whitebeard, Ace sees his actions as his own failure. He did not listen when Whitebeard told him to let Blackbeard go. His own failure to heed his father's cautionary words should not be cause for his father to wage war on the marine headquarters, he thinks.

But when Luffy turns up, Ace shouts at him—exactly as Luffy had predicted. He demands to know what Luffy thinks he's doing, weakling that he is. That Ace has his own adventures and his own pirate crew, and he doesn't need Luffy to come too.

"I'm your little brother," says Luffy in response, and I always start tearing up at that line, in manga or anime.

As far as Luffy is concerned, losing Ace is not an option.

And that one line is all it takes to make Ace back off. To remember that yes—Luffy is still his little brother, though they each have their own crews now.

The Marineford War is so full of moments where Luffy shows himself to be capable of so much more than anybody expected was possible.

But of course we all know how it ends. Luffy is the one to free Ace, but he's also the one who doesn't notice how vulnerable he is to the charging Akainu.

And Ace takes the blow intended for Luffy with his back—right in the tattoo declaring his alliance to Whitebeard.

I can't stop thinking about the significance of this.

All Ace had ever been searching for—family, belonging, purpose, acknowledgement that he was wanted—he got from Whitebeard, who was his parent in a way that nobody ever was, breaking through his insecurities about his parentage in a way that surely only got through to Ace because Whitebeard is someone who personally knew Roger. In a world without Luffy, Whitebeard and his crew would have been Ace's salvation.

But we don't live in that world. We don't know if Ace would have made it long enough to join Whitebeard in a world without Luffy.

What Ace tells us in the way that he shielded Luffy from Akainu was that Luffy was worth more to him than everything he got from Whitebeard and everyone on that crew. That he loved Luffy above and beyond all others.

And he thanked Luffy (and Whitebeard and his crew) for loving him.

I'm sure there has been ample discourse on the significance of these things. I'm pretty sure I've read, if not participated in it. But having circled back here recently, I feel like I'm discovering the significance all anew.

Ace said thank you for loving me and not I love you because he saw more value in being loved than his own love. Surely it would have been more comforting to Luffy to hear that he was loved—but Ace is caught up in the idea that he is demonspawn, not worth existing, much less being loved.

With how much he talks about Luffy to everyone he meets, surely in a world where he did not have cause to question his existence, where he did not grow up knowing that the world wished him dead, he would have been happy to just exist with the brothers he loved. He would not have felt he needed to prove that he deserved to exist.

Meanwhile, though Luffy idealizes pirates from an earlier point in the story, their backstory shows us that Luffy's desire to grow stronger originates in learning how Sabo "died". And Ace supports this narrative that Luffy ought to grow stronger, more self-sufficient.

At Luffy's core is simply love: a desire to hold his loved ones close, to be strong enough to never lose them again.

But he lost Ace anyway.

And Ace just wanted Luffy to be safe—to go on without him. His only regret, he said, was that he wouldn't be around to see the end of Luffy's dream.

Ace, at his core, just wanted to be loved. And he had that, but was not able to accept it, to believe that he deserved it, until the very end.

And isn't that just heartbreaking?

I believe that it was Ace's spirit, realizing Sabo was still alive, who knocked the memory back into him, screaming at him what the hell has he been doing, go protect and support their baby brother.

I believe Ace still lives on in Luffy, who will never stop loving the brother who all but raised him.

But I need to cry about it anyway. Again.

Danny's Evil Jaunt Pt. 3

(this is the chapter but I have work soon so I will tag everyone later a swell as links) @little-pondhead @im-totally-not-an-alien-2 (you two get tagged because your the big inspirations :D

warnings: swearing

Word count: 1.3k

Let it be known that Fright Knight loves his job. It's literally why he still exists. He exists to serve the King of the Infinite Realms and stand as the embodiment of Halloween and similar celebrations. That said, he feels conflicted as he gazes at the mechanical husk his future king shows off.

Compared to a normal mortal, its stature was massive. Though for Fright Knight it was about equal height, possibly a little smaller. The inspiration was clear and a little flattering. The metal was shaped into a stylized Fright Knight, complete with a (mundane) sword.

He eyes his king as the Halfa clings to its arm. He rambled about how he was planning on taking the husk to a pocket that was populated with heroes with him to guard him, and how he wanted Fright Knight to help with ‘teaching it how to do those cool sword moves you do Frighty!’.

Has his king replaced him?!?! No, surely not! There's no way this heap of scrap could ever compare! He had been around for CENTURIES while this thing hadn't even existed an hour ago! The king still had his hands inside it making adjustments yet!

“My Liege! Please forgive any misgivings about this… thing, but may I know the purpose of such a creation? You said that it was for protection yet I am here.”

His king turned his head towards him, arms still hidden within the side of the imposter. “His name is Fright-bot, and he's gonna keep the heroes off me while I work! They get annoying when you're trying to do some welding and all of a sudden you have like three arrows comin’ at ya real fast.” the young Halfa finally pulled his glove clad hands out of the monstrosity.

“He's also for keeping my other works safe, that's why I need him first. I’m thinkin’ of keeping most of my bots in my ‘therapy’ dimension that Clocky showed me for convenience, and they need a guard! But I can't just have you away to protect them! You need to do head guard stuff! I know you want to protect me and stuff but I can’t just let you just out in the living world with me all the time!” the king continued as he slid the siding back onto the almost finished robot. “Besides! It's kinda like you're protecting me from afar! Since it’ll be your techniques and stuff. I just gave it a body and Tuck helped me with the learning algorithm stuff so you can teach it.” his legs finally released his hold on the beings arm, dropping into a handstand and falling back onto his feet upright.

The flaming kight considered this. While it’s true that he can’t always accompany his king (as much as he would like to) it would be nice to have some assurance that the King would be safe. Perhaps he could convince the King into some sort of deal…?

Well Danny could say that he’s extremely happy with the events that happened at the castle! He and Frighty came to a deal finally! Frighty would teach Fright-bot how to fight and stuff but Danny would have to put in a built-in alarm system that notified Frighty that something bad was happening, so he could come in and save Danny’s day. Overall pretty good! Now to start working on those blueprints, he was so excited!

‘Ok, who gave the kid permission to build huge robots?’ Oliver thought as he saw the Fenton kid perched on top of the mecha-knight looking thing, and pulled back on his bow. Just as he released the arrow the thing’s head swiveled around like an owl and caught the damn thing! The kid looked up at Ollie and smiled.

“HI MISTER ARROW!! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?” the kid shouted at him and jumped off the robot. Oliver sighed and readied another shot but was forced off his rooftop position by the purple knight.

“Who's your friend there, kid? He looks like the wrong kinda crowd,” the kid’s grin grew wider as he unfolded that damn cannon and attached it to a slightly glowing tank on his thigh.

“Do Ya like ‘im?! I built him myself, his name is Fright-Bot!” The fanged grin of the kid did not get any less unsettling as the newly dubbed ‘Fright-bot’ landed next to Fenton again.

“Uh uh, real nice kid. Why don’t you calm down and give up for today, yeah?” Oliver made sure to keep the knight within his sight. It honestly looked like it could snap someone in half.

“Hmm? Ahh.. I don't think so Mr.Arrow, I worked really hard on Fright-bot and I wanna see how I can make him better y’know! I promise I’ll keep the damage to a minimum!”

“You have your fingers crossed behind your back, don’t you.”

“What nooo… I would never lie Mr. Arrow, it's very hurtful that you would even CONSIDER that I would do such a thing. I believe you owe me an Ice cream now!”

“Kid, there was a snowstorm yesterday. And I don’t think you need any sugar.” The bow pulled back and the Knight rushed.

It wasn’t a fair fight in the slightest, Ollie was out numbered and the goo that was glowing a slight blue-green did not help. Especially with the still slick roads, so it was only a matter of time before his legs were stuck to the concrete. Frozen actually, the goo turned into weird ice. Fenton had the big guy grab his arms while the kid himself searched his body, eventually finding his wallet. The one he brought on patrol in case he got a bit hungry. Guess he was really buying the kid ice cream after all.

“14..15..16..21. Nice! You think it’ll cover it Fright-bot? I don’t know the prices but I think it’ll be enough. You watch Mr. Arrow for me! I’ll be back soon I promise!” and like that the kid expertly glided over the iced roads and into the Ice cream parlor. To be fair to the kid, the Ice cream here was kinda expensive.

While the kid was gone Oliver tried to escape from the Ice and the robot, but neither were budging. Well until Roy came up and stabbed the focused robot in the back, somehow causing it to malfunction and release Ollie’s arms. It fell to the ground with a heavy thud as Fenton came out of the parlor.

“Oh no! HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!” Fenton screeched. Then released a guttural groan and whine. “Come onnnn…. I still had an hour left! And now I have to leave EARLY!” he honest to god pouted at the two vigilanties.

Then a lazarus green swirling mass opened in between the opposing parties and out stepped another Fright-bot, this time with a much more intimidating demeanor. This one was bathed in purple fire and held a sword covered in green flames that gave off the feeling of nightmares.

“MY KING! I RECEIVED THE ALERT AND CAME AS SOON AS I COULD'' it bellowed. Shaking the ground around them.

King? What, did Fenton make them refer to him as King? That felt weirdly out of character for what they had seen so far.

“Frighty! You were just WAITING outside weren’t you!” Fenton yelled at the knight. The knight didn’t take his eyes off the two perceived threats. And picked up Fenton by the scruff of his coat.

“My King! I knew we couldn’t trust your safety with that pile of metal! Only I- FRIGHT KNIGHT, is worthy of protecting you! NOW YOU TWO. YOU ARE HEREBY GUIL--” the knight spoke and was cut off by Fenton.

“We get it Frigty! Just.. Can you grab the Fright-bot and just take us home please… I told you this was a trial run to see how to improve him!” the child pleaded. The knight stared forward for a few moments before sighing and coming forward, yanking Oliver out of the Ice and flinging Roy and him out of the way. Then picking up the lifeless metal and carrying Fenton away through another swirling portal where it closed behind them seconds after they were out of sight.

“Hey Arrow, what the FUCK was that?”

“A massive pain in the ass that keeps getting bigger”

melodic love - c.m x fem!reader

posted may 8th, 2023 12:14 am

ty @heywardsarchive for helping me with this name it's perfect.

@thatone-deadchick asked: please right chad x goth or metalhead reader there’s like no story like that🙏 i’m surviving off crumbs

okay bare with me, babe, I rlly hope you like this rlly did try my hardest. I had a hard time making this goth-ish but at least i think i captured chad rlly trying to learn about his girl's interests so im a little happy about that, and I also totally assumed you wore lipstick thank you for requesting muah

masterlist

wordcount: 0.7k

Throwing your lipstick in your bag you recognized the pattern of knocks on your door. Chad opened the door, “you really should start locking this,” you smiled, rolling your eyes. “Why would I do that when my big strong jock boyfriend is right here?” you teased, motioning towards the familiar letterman he was wearing. Chad laughed.

“You ready to go?” he looked you up and down with a smile, coming closer to give you a quick kiss, immediately stopped by your hand on his mouth. “liquid lipstick’s still drying” he backed up slightly, nodding as he took your wrist before you had time to lower it, and placed a kiss on the palm of your hand. You tilted your head to the side, “you’re cute” “Thank you, babe” you hummed in response.

Grabbing your keys, you let your boyfriend lead you out of your dorm before he held his hand out to you, slightly wiggling his fingers for you to hold onto. You did.

“Well, first frat party, you excited?” Chad asked, mindlessly leading you to wherever he was taking you. “Excited to go? Or excited to watch you do a handstand while drinking out of a keg?” you joked, Chad laughed, nudging slightly before responding, “As if I’d trust any of those guys enough to keep me up there” You nodded in agreement, also not trusting any of them to keep your boyfriend from face planting covered in beer.

“Look, the second you wanna leave? We can, but Tara and Mindy are both gonna be there, and you don’t even have to leave my side”

“Chad, I’m not scared of a bunch of frat boys, I’ll survive one party”

“Just one?” he looked down at you, a dramatic pout sitting on his lips.

“That depends on if you decide to wear this to one of my parties” You tugged on his jacket. “It’s my safety blanket,” he shrugged.

You scoffed, smiling at Chad. “I’m your safety blanket,”

Chad smiled, nodding his head

“yeah, you’re right”

~~~~~~

“Are you listening to the cure?” Chad took out his earbuds at the sound of his sister’s voice, turning to see her standing behind him with her girlfriend. Chad smiled at Anika, getting a wave in return.

“What? You don’t have a special playlist curated by Anika to show you her music taste?” he teased, earning a scoff from Mindy as she went and sat down by him. Anika leaned on the tree they were sitting under, crossing her arms before speaking “She only listens to my playlists”

“You make the best ones” Mindy countered, smiling at her own girlfriend before looking back at her brother to bring up his.

“Shouldn’t you know all of these songs by now?” Mindy asked stealing one of the protein bars straight out of Chad’s backpack,

“Yeah, but I haven’t listened to any of them in god knows how long and I wanna be able to talk to Y/n about it,” he shrugged,

Mindy fake pouted, “awwwwh, how sweet,” she said in an exaggerated cute tone.

A lopsided grin made its way to Chad’s lips as he rolled his eyes.

“Shut up,”

~~~~~~

You opened your door revealing your already smiling boyfriend. “Hey there beautiful,” he said, easily moving past you and into your dorm. Closing your door you turned to face him again, “hi,”

He gave you a quick kiss, his excitement cutting the kiss short much to your dismay.

“I brought you something,” Chad happily announced, throwing his bag on your bed before he started rummaging through it.

You made your way back to your desk, shutting your laptop as you took a seat in the chair. “Oh yeah? What is it?” you asked, smiling at your boyfriend. He merely hummed a response before finally pulling out a clear cd case, the cd on the inside having “for my girl” written on it in black sharpie.

“Oh my god, Chad, did you make me a fucking mixtape?” You stood up to get closer as he handed it to you. “What can I say? I’m a little old school,” he smiled, watching you excitedly examine it.

“I tried to pick out music you’d like but I’m gonna be honest, I don’t think any of it is goth.” Chad shrugged, only not scratching the back of his neck because of the hug you pulled him into.

“This is so cute, thank you, babe.” Your voice was slightly muffled by his shoulder, but Chad heard you loud and clear.

“Glad you like it, beautiful”

Ossan's Love Returns Ep 5 Stray Thoughts

Last week, Maki had to leave for a work trip right as his dad was home alone with back pain. Haruta stepped in to take care of his father-in-law, but Maki's dad was not feeling it. We also learned the sordid details about Izumi's dead lover who was Haruta's doppelganger, and they Izumi is determined to avenge him. We also know that Kiku is in love with Izumi. Izumi offered some insights about Maki's dad via chess that allowed Haruta the honor of being allowed to wipe his father-in-law's butt. Kiku also came clean about their law enforcement role to Kurosawa, figuring he'd just be a problem if he wasn't told. Takekawa went on a bachelor show and was summarily rejected. Also, the chief had a fall and scared us all.

Kurosawa won the vacation voucher!

Kurosawa's apartment layout looks similar to Aoyanagi Hajime's.

OOF. Kurosawa is struggling with loneliness.

Yes, let's follow-up on the butt-wiping and Takegawa getting rejected.

These enormous ongiri are throwing me off every episode.

Wow this handstand is very impressive.

Choko is now the Gay Whisperer, and she has new reasons to despise Haruta;

Oh lord these people are still spying on Izumi and Kuki.

Yes! Everyone go to Atami!

I'm so ready for the hijinks!!!

Episode 5: Take Me to Atami

Atami is very beautiful! Good work on the tourism front.

I will never stop thanking this show for how physically affectionate Haruta and Maki are.

Kurosawa almost falling on the stairs twice would be funnier for me if I wasn't worried about his health.

Maki lost his ring!!!

Guys, do not put the waiter through this!

Poor Maki. This is not what her had in mind at all.

Why is Kurosawa still fanning??

I appreciate that Kiku also has strong feelings about honoring Akito's memory.

Oh shit, I didn't expect Kiku to actually admit it.

Oh, Kurosawa. I'm glad he hugged Kiku as a fellow loser in love.

Now how the hell did both Maki and Izumi fall here.

Chief, you gotta stop putting hands on that man!!

This sloppy brawl is everything I hoped for. Chief and Maki fighting and tearing shit up. Kiku stumbling in drunk. Unexpected wrestling and double pinning of Haruta, opening up a whole can of worms about how Izumi and Kiku probably wanted to fuck Akito. Dragging Haruta for being indecisive. Sloppy crying. Kurosawa had a fan the entire time.

Oh, Haruta. I love how hard you love your husband.

"Make sure to reflect on that." I'm so glad Kurosawa had a good time.

Izumi...bro...

This trip was so much fun. I loved seeing them blend with the neighbors, and I loved seeing Kurosawa get to be as extra as he wanted. He was ready to fight Maki the entire time and he did! I can't believe Maki smashed a fake rock over Chief's back. Incredible. I just know the staff was pissed about them in the morning. Let me not forget Choko, because she is right to be annoyed that Haruta always seems to be at the center of gay drama around here. I'm also so worried about Takegawa.

Six Sentence Sunday

Thanks for the tags today, friends @letraspal @artsyunderstudy @j-nipper-95 @hushed-chorus @iamamythologicalcreature @larkral @forabeatofadrum @confused-bi-queer love to see what you guys are working on!

So, the good news is: my vacation is finally here!! Which means lots of free time to write and read and relax. Whoo!

The even better news is: I've fully shifted into CORB mode. You guys, I lucked out. I get to work with not one but two absolutely amazing artists for this fest, and it's been so fun to come up with ideas with them both.

I've got a general outline + some words for both of these wips and I'm so excited. Have a snippet for each:

#Wip 1, Baz pov: a list.

1. The Mage is my captor. He sent numpties, of all creatures, and told them to lock me up in a coffin.

2. He doesn't want me dead, just locked up. There must be a reason, and I'm going to find out what it is. Soon.

3. Simon Snow isn't coming to my rescue—hell, he might as well be in on this, following orders from his mentor. He's probably guarding the damn bridge, waiting with his sword at the ready in case I try to escape.

4. (I know it probably isn't true—I'd be able to smell him a mile away—but still, the thought sticks, rotting in my mind.)

5. No one is coming to my aid—I've heard the numpties talking about a ramson. If my family pays, that would be like admitting defeat. Maybe it's what the Mage really wants: to wring out as much money and resources as he can using me.

6. Despite knowing all those facts, I won't stay here. I'm tired of the dark.

7. I don't need to be saved. I'll take matters into my own hands.

And #Wip 2 (also Baz):

I grew up underneath the Cirque's lights.

My first memories belong to the stage, watching my mother dance with flames like they were part of her. Like she was made of fire.

She was the star of the circus. Natasha the Great, they called her. They might as well have named an entire show after her.

I'd like to say I learned everything I know from her. I would have, if I'd had the chance.

But I learned it, anyway. Fiona likes to tell everyone that I used to do handstands before I even learned how to walk. Which is a gross exaggeration, but not far from the truth.

I suppose I do fare better upside down.

“It's the blood rushing to your head," Snow poked me once. “Makes you even more of a prick."

So there you have it. These both feel very tentative and drafty, but it's a start. I can't wait to tell you more about them!

Tagging a few friends for Wednesday: @cutestkilla @bookish-bogwitch @captain-aralias @rimeswithpurple @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @ivelovedhimthroughworse @whatevertheweather @fatalfangirl @aristocratic-otter @blackberrysummerblog @prettygoododds @palimpsessed @valeffelees @facewithoutheart and anyone who'd like to share!

Four's spouse being absolutely terrifying when mad is very accurate. Not much really pisses them off except when it involves their loved ones are hurt, food waste and their current catch being chased away like the Gohma scaring off the boar. Otherwise Reader is mostly nonchalant.

Four does ask his lover to throw him on a few occasions, mainly when adventuring as the married couple are quite the tag team. Both fight completely in sync even when the Colors are thrown into the mix. So Wind and Wild asking for Reader to throw them wouldn't be much of a problem if they have a destination in mind.

Warriors: You're seriously going to oblige them?!

Reader: If they know where they want to go and have a way to land. My husband does this whenever we explore a dungeon together.

Wind: *takes out the Korok Leaf* Toss me as high as you can and I'll land on the roof!

Reader: *tosses the teen 60 ft into the air*

Twilight: WHAT THE????!

Wild: That is AWESOME!

(Wind does land safely and got scolded by Twilight. Wild also gets tossed too while Sky contemplates on asking.)

Reader's strength is the most insane thing about them. Combat chefs don't fight with their bare hands as its a chef's most important tool. You can't cook without them. They are a close range fighter so Reader uses their legs to fight.

One technique that Four's love tends to use is called Sky Walk. This skill allows Reader to literally walk on AIR and can only be taught by a master. Our heroes find this out when Wild spots something odd on his Sheikah Slate.

Wild: WHAT THE FUCK?! FOUR, HOW IS YOUR SPOUSE WALKING ON AIR?!!

Hyrule: I'm sorry what?

Time: *uses the Lens of Truth and sees Reader is actually walking to the house on nothing* Smithy, did you marry a god???

Four: Reader isn't a god. They're just using Sky Walk, a super secret technique. Like this! *begins walking on air*

Warriors: DEAR HYLIA!

Four hasn't really mastered the technique as it takes a few years so he can only walk at least 30 ft before he has to touch the ground. The looks on his comrades' faces are hilarious though. Smithy literally hid such a technique that would make any pitfall traps worthless.

Now Dink is most likely the type to use the heroes' loved ones to his advantage. When the Chain are traveling through Warrior's Hyrule Fields they did not expect a Dodongo to come crashing down with a footprint deep in its chest. All of them knew only one person could do this and rush to where it came from.

Surrounded by Taluses, Dodongos, Darknuts and Hinoxes was an absolutely livid Reader. One of the Links were quick to spot the abnormal nervous Darknut in the group, Dink who's currently regretting his decision. Especially when Reader's lower half of their legs ignite a fiery orange coat. They flames didn't seem to harm them but clearly burn the ground.

A sign that has Four split and push his comrades away a good distance from the fight cause he knew what is about to happen.

Green: The shadow really done it now!

Legend: What's going on?!

Vio: Diable Jambe, one of our lover's more destructive techniques. Trust us when we say you don't want to get hit by that!

Reader: My food is burning because of you bastards! Only fair that I return the favor! Diable Jambe- Party Table Kick Course!

Everyone watches as the chef lets loose scorching hot kicks with a handstand while spinning. The heat alone melted the Stone Talus and scorch the nearby ground. When Reader was done, all that remain was ash and a large patch of burnt ground. Dink definitely fled albeit badly burned but learn a huge lesson.

DON'T PISS OFF READER.

Oh my goodness... no kidding.

Reader is a force to be reckoned with.

....They just round house kick the hoard of enemies with hell fire....

AND THE FOOD WAS BURTN D:<

Dark Link better not come back! How dare he!!!!!!

#pinky replies #Four's spouse #Four's lover #anon stories #....I don't remember the first half of this.... ^.^*#my apologies anon

Hey! ^.^

Zutara Asks #12 & 13 please

Hey Ronin!!! Hope you’re doing amazing, dude!

(Had to type this all up before answering so that’s why it took a while for me to respond)

12. What are your steambaby headcanons?

- Everytime I think of Zuko and Katara and them having kids, first immediate thought is that their first born is a girl. Just no if ands or buts about it. Zuko - girl dad extraordinaire - just being absolutely enamored with his little girl, this tiny human who has his eyes and hair color but her mother’s features and her wild curls, always makes me so soft. Plus, the thought of him learning how to do the little hair loopies for her because she wants to be like her super cool momma gut punches me right in the feels UGH.

- Eventually they’d try for more, three seems like a good and solid number to stop at. Little trio of a fire bender, water bender and non bender kiddos (and the order of that tends to vary for me just cuz I haven’t really thought too much about it but this would be the lineup, for sure). This headcanon in particular is really influenced by some amazing steam baby art (specifically Hayley Wong’s art (absolutely adore everything she creates for zutara)) I’ve seen on here.

- They’d have the kiddos train in sword combat (blue spirit legacy lives oooon) as well as non-bender fighting techniques (with help from Suki and Ty Lee ofc) because you can’t always rely on solely being a bender to solve your problems. The thought of Ty Lee teaching the kids how to do handstands and little circus tricks like that in between their training is also super cute and fun. Small payback for the circus freak comments from when they were younger 🤣 And it also helps the kiddos bond and become even closer as they grow older.

- The kids would be massive fans of the blue spirit and the painted lady, both because of it having been their parents (they’d absolutely lose it at them having had like a superhero era moment back in the day) and being taken to see ‘love amongst the dragons’ every year as is tradition within their little family.

13. Do you think the Fire Nation would allow Zuko’s heir to become Firelord if they were a waterbender?

- Yes, but not without a decent amount of push back from those still blindly loyal to the old ways of the fire nation or are afraid of change. Which isn’t very many but it’s still enough to be somewhat of a hurdle to overcome, ya know. I also think the acceptance of a waterbender as the fire lord would really go to show the growth of the fire nation as a whole, doing away with the old regime once and for all if that makes sense. They obviously would’ve come around to Katara being fire-lady by that point but when it comes to a direct descendant of the royal family, I’d assume the change wouldn’t be so readily accepted and thus would spark immense debate in regards to the legitimacy of the child’s claim to the title on account of their bending being different than that of previous generations.

#random babbles #zutara #zutara asks #I’d like to add that Mai would also teach them knife throwing #just for fun #I’d like to think that her and Zuko become really good friends after the fact #especially since she’s happy with Ty Lee now hehe

I LOVE YOUR TBP STORIES/HEADCANONS THEY R TOP TIER PLS MAKE MORE 🙇🏽‍♀️

The blackphone

m.list

a/n : AAA IM SO GLAD ♡♡♡ here's some more headcanons for u specifically 🫶

cw : fluff / crack

Finney is so bad at roasting or insulting in general, if he did it would be like really bad comebacks

Bully : Hey! You're a freak and a loser!

Finney : well your- your- you suck!

Bye the time he gets it out they're already down the hall and in their classroom

Robin knows how to cook, and like I don't mean just when his uncle is out like his uncle will ask HIM to cook

He loves cooking so much he'll literally bash anyone if they ever try to tell him that that's very "girly" of him

Gwen and Robin will have roasting battles and Finney would join in but he's so bad that they both cringe at what he says

Like they try their hardest to help him learn how to insult right but he's such a lost cause that whatever they say goes through one ear and out the other

(I included this one in the drawing but) I feel like Bruce gets scars/injured in general after playing baseball

His coach is so concerned that he doesn't feel when he gets it during practice, or when someone points it out he'll be like "Huh??"

Team member : Bruce you have another scrape on your four arm dude

Bruce : no I don't??

TM : Yea you do???

Bruce : no I don't??

Then they'd go back and forth till he'd see the red on his arm starting to form

I feel like Bruce and Billy have like cat and dog dynamic

Not in a /neg way but more of a

Bruce : Heyyy Billy!!!

Billy : oh hey :)

Bruce : so what was your last class?? Mines was math and I literally had to take down so much notes!! Such a hassle dude

Billy : yea I understand, I had English thought so if you're having that up next prepare for a quiz

I feel like Billy and Gwen would listen to Queen ☆☆

Gwen would definitely ask Billy for his Vinyl whenever he and the entire group would hang out

I feel like Griffin and Gwen are in the same class, but they act like they hate eachother

They would have glaring contests and spit absolute venom at eachother at any chance they got

But outside of class they'd literally be all buddy buddy and walk to the Grab-n-Go mart to grab some Popsicles or something to help with the heat that day

Robin LOVES animals and will literally take in any stray he finds to take care of it before his uncle would find them a week later

Ofcourse he'd get smarter and keep them in another secret place he and Finney have and they would take care of this dog cat or even pigeon

Finney can't cook for the life of him

He once burned water he was boiling. After that whenever his dad was out Gwen would take over

WHAT'D MAKE IT EVEN MORE FUNNIER IS THAT GWEN CANT COOK EITHER.

They'd call Robin all embarrassed telling him they burnt there food and he's just on the other line like

Robin : I uh what I'm just- HOW

Hed be stuttering for the first time in his life from how unbelievable that is

Griffin would definitely be that kid who got warnings from his teachers

And not for being bad or saying something snarky to the teacher but because he'd get caught doung something dumb

Like he'd try to do a handstand and be in the way of someone else and the teacher would scold him

Or he'd be twirling because his jacket was flapping with him and his teacher would tell him to stop (personal experience smh)

Vance is great at doing first aid

His mom taught him that since she knew that if she tried to tell him to stop he wouldn't so to make it safer for him she taught him how to take care of himself

Vance also probably listens to queen with his mom and has jam sessions with her

He'd deny it if anyone ever caught him doing it and He'd do it so well that the person would just walk away because he just wouldn't budge

The entire group would have study sessions and switch houses every Saturday night

And they'd have a rotation, so if one person's house wasn't gonna be free that Saturday night they would go on to the next person's house and if they all collectively had something to do then they'd do it in the afternoon on Sunday

Glorious Masquerade spoilers #15

We begin with the jester asking the crowd to quiet down. The jester says "Let's stop working today, throw everything away, and celebrate this festival. This 'Upside Down festival'!""

Grim is confused by the name, and wonders if everyone is going to do a handstand. Rollo explains that participants positions change. In this festival, people can go about without having to worry about titles or status. The weak can be strong, and anyone can act like a king. Malleus presumes it's basically a no-holds barred. Rollo tells him he is correct. During the festival, people wear a mask.

Azul says that if one does that, no one will be able to tell who you are. You can act freely to your heart's content. Idia adds that he also noticed masks being sold in town, and that they add a romantic, unidentified look. Grim exclaims that it'd be fun to try. However, Rollo gets this displeased look on his face as he brings his handkerchief to his nose.

The jester continues on by saying this festival is enjoyed by everyone in the city. But, above all, they love the most the "Gentle Bell Ringer".

Grim obviously has to ask what the Gentle Bell Ringer is. Malleus is surprised that the doesn't know. Grim still remains clueless. Azul asks Grim if he did any research on the City of Flowers or the festival prior to coming. But, Grim is only interested in food. Idia says it's pure hearted. Grim insists on asking if anyone knows the story of the Gentle Bell Ringer.

The puppet begins to speak. It says "I don't know." The puppet master asks "Really!?" The puppet replies "Teach! Teach!"

Grim is weirded out by the performance. Why is that guy talking to a doll all of a sudden. He asks if he is okay. Rollo tells Grim to calm down. It's just a puppet show and ventriloquism. Again, Grim is confused by the word. So, Idia explains to him that the clown on stage is making the puppet talk without moving himself. Grim is shocked to learn that the ventriloquist is talking to himself. Finally, Trein tells Grim to quiet down as the show is about to begin.

The jester begins with the story of the Gentle Bell Ringer. The righteous judge is a fair man that everyone in the city respects. Everyone follows him. Malleus recognizes the judge to be the very one Rollo told them about in front of NBC. Grim also remembers by mentioning the statue. Malleus is amused Grim remembers that which Grim takes offense to. He studied today.

The jester continues by saying that the one who adored the righteous judge the most was his apprentice, the Gentle Bell Ringer. Grim asks if the old man riding the horse have a disciple. Rollo says yes, the gentle bell ringer, along with the righteous judge, is a familiar person in the Shaftlands.

The jester explains that the bell ringer strikes the bell at a fixed time each day, rain or wind, and made the sound of the bell chime throughout the city. One day, disaster struck the peaceful city.

Azul asks what the "disaster" entails ever since he heard about it during the story of the righteous judge. Rollo says no one knows. No matter what books he looks at, it is not conveyed in detail. The only thing is said is "The town was dyed crimson by that disaster." Malleus wonders about the "crimson" part. He asks if it means a big fire occurred. Azul also says that fire brings enormous damage on land. The power of fire is terrifying. Idia also adds that in the past, when there were no regulations or systems regarding buildings, the distance between building would have been much closer. He can't imagine how terrible that fire would be now.

The jester continued by saying that when the city was dyed red, the people suffered from fear and confusion. The bell ringer rung the bell encouraging the hearts of people. He took the lead in fighting the disaster, and protecting the city.

The puppet says the bell ringer's courage was big. Grim agrees saying he is so brave like him! Trein says the bell ringer acted like that following the teachings of his mentor, the righteous judge. How loyal to the mentor. The two must have built a strong bond of trust. Rollo adds that this is also because the right judge's personality was excellent.

Moving on, the story continues by saying that the gentle bell ringer loved "Topsy Turvy" the most. Long ago, on this festival day called "Topsy Turvy", everyone in the city chose the bell ringer as the king. How wonderful for the gentle bell ringer... But, does everyone understand how wonderful the Upside Down festival is? The puppet says "I know! I know!" Grim also exclaims that he understands too. The jester tells the people of the City of Flowers, and those visiting, to enjoy plenty. This is the beginning of the Upside Down festival!

Grim comments that people in fluttering clothes came out. There's also confetti raining down. People are cheering and there's so much excitement going on. A dancer tells the crowd to enjoy the festival while tapping away on a tambourine. Malleus comments that the dancer is also handling a scarf, and is moving lightly almost as if they are floating. Idia is startled out of his mind. The festivities is overwhelming for him.

Rollo explains that it is tradition to dance with scarves and tambourines at the Upside Down festival. Grime notices that every time the tambourine is played, something sparkles out. Rollo says it is a magic spark. Malleus inquires if all the humans dancing on stage are magicians. Rollo says that more than half of them are not magicians. The sparks are produced by a magic tool. Rollo continues by saying that the day of this "Upside Down festival", he used a magic tool tambourine made in cooperation with a magician. It is customary that anyone can use magic like that.

Azul understands that as the main theme of the festival, people who cannot use magic can do so via a magic tool. Malleus feels that a simple spark isn't enough. It should be enjoyed on a grander scale. Idia wonders what so fun about hitting a fossil-like magic tool such as that tambourine. Trein explains that it is a traditional magic tool, and that there is value in things that have not changed since ancient times. The magic may not be big or small, but it is a tool that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Rollo mutters that festivals are a gathering of shameless people who indulge in magic. Malleus asks him if he just said something. Azul also couldn't hear him because he was so focused on the festival. Rollo tells them it was nothing. He says they should look at the festival to learn.

The dancer calls for everyone to dance together. Grim jumps up excitedly ready to show off his amazing dancing. Idia gets terrified. Him? Dance? They gotta be kidding! He absolutely refuses! Azul asks him if he's really going to remain seated in this glamorous venue. He'll stand out. Malleus tells Idia that sitting as an invitee lacks civility. Idia replies that it will be more unslightly for him to dance. I made Yuu exclaim "Let's dance!" and with that, Idia let's out a scream.

After the dance, Idia is worn out and dizzy. Grim is laughing saying everyone will be amazed by him. However, the tambourine stops working. He wonders what could be wrong with it. Trein explains that it is a simple tool. The magic may have ran out.

Rollo is relieved that the dance is over. He suggests they wrap up and return to the school. Grim doesn't want to return just yet. He exclaims that he's going to make it more fun and flashy. He charges his magic and let's it explode loudly taking the NRC boys by surprise. The townspeople wonder where the fireworks are coming from. It's beautiful and sparkling a lot more than the tambourine. Grim happily calls out to Yuu saying that everyone is overjoyed by his magic.

Deuce scolds Grim for using magic in the city. Grim wonders if Deuce is praising him instead. But Sebek says no. He can't do what he wants and bring shame to Malleus.

The jester asks the crowd to quiet down. It seems that the wonderful gift came from a mischievoous magician’s egg. The festival is once a year. Forget the worries and cares, and make noise! The crowd cheers that they want to see fireworks. The dancer tells everyone to dance again.

Epel says it looks like all the people are happy. That said, he hopes Trein can forgive him for using magic, decided to join in the festivities. Trein looks sternly at him, and Epel says he looks really grumpy. Jamil says there’s no way the strict Trein-sensei would forgive bad manners. Deuce says Grim is definitely getting lectured when they go back to school.

Malleus says the people are excited, so isn’t it better to lend a helping hand. He says it might be better to show off “that” which he had been preparing. Azul tells him to wait. He asks if by “that” is the thing he prepared for the ball. The best gift is the one that exerts maximum power if shown at a special place. If he were to be swept away by the festivities, his hard work would be ruined. Malleus asks if that’s true. Azul insists it is. Please believe him. When it comes to maximizing profit with minimal effort, no one in the academy can match him.

Idia says that as for “that” he wants to forget about it. Azul can’t believe he’s still stubbornly saying that. Malleus takes into consideration Azul’s words, and settles for fireworks as a small blessing from him. Sebek shouts for the humans to bow down and rejoice. Since everyone is enjoying themselves, Silver also wants to help Malleus. Ruggie also launches his own magic to create fireworks.

Their ruckus catches the attention of Chenya and Neige. Chenya also decided to join in launching his own magic. Neige follows suit saying if it makes people even a bit happy, then he too will shoot his magic. A magician from another school also joins in, and soon there is a multitude of explosions as fireworks bloom in the sky.

Jamil says that he doesn’t want NRC to lose to other schools. Epel agrees. He declares that their school will show the most exciting festival! Rook also agrees to join. Trein says it would be bad manners to betray the expectations of the townspeople. He allows the students to use magic, but asks them to behave. Riddle says he will liven up the festival in a respectable manner. Deuce tells Riddle to shoot fireworks with him.

Off to the side, Rollo is perturbed by everyone using magic. Malleus asks Rollo what’s wrong. He hopes Rollo is enjoying the festival. Rollo comments that many of the students of NRC and himself have great magic. At the very least, that power should be used with caution. He asks Malleus if he doesn’t think it’s cruel to stir the hearts of the townspeople like this. Malleus agrees that he has strong power. But, he challenges Rollo’s question with his own by asking it’s up to him whether or not to bestow gifts unto the people using his magic. Rollo does not respond.

Malleus says seeing the people happy with their magic is enough. Malleus calls out to Yuu telling them to enjoy the festival as well. They will be going on ahead. With Malleus gone, Yuu is left alone with Rollo.

Rollo asks Yuu if they think magic is a nasty thing. It must be so hard to be surrounded by noisy magicians who can’t understand them every day. There’s no way that this can of magic can make so much noise. He asks for Yuu’s thoughts. I had Yuu tell Rollo that magic is fun every day. Rollo looked absolutely gobsmacked! Fun? He asks Yuu if they too are enjoying this mess.

Rollo composes himself. He tells Yuu that was a deplorable thing to say. He now sees that Yuu has also been corrupted by the magicians. (What do you want me to say? They’re my newfound family, you hoe) Rollo tells Yuu they’ll soon know. Magic is not something to be praised.

Just then, Grim calls out to Yuu telling them to not just stand there. He shows off his special golden fire. It explodes brilliantly, and Grim calls it a success. The crowd is thrilled by this year’s festival saying it’s exciting. The dancers ask for more fireworks from the magicians. Rollo is clearly disgusted. He calls the magicians stupid.

To be continued…

Ugh, I had to redo this update because tumblr deleted the original one. I apologize for any mistakes there may be. There’s also no images because I think that’s what caused the glitch in the first place. I’m going to rest my precious head from this horrible headache. But, Rollo is starting to show his true colors. Ooohhh…..

That's a hard one. Too much information would traumatize them, too little would leave them asking even more questions. I think she'll just to be straight the point, without too much emphasis how much danger he's actually in and of course, not mentioning what these people might to do him. Just say that he was working a job and the bad people got control of the situation, and they took him. And that everything is being done to find him and bring him home.

2. Addie is still very Addie LOL. She's very bubbly and energetic and smiles and giggles a lot. She has lots of energy and she loves to dance around and do cartwheels and walkovers and handstands and all that. She's very much an animal lover and will bring home every injured bird, lizard etc that she finds and thinks needs help. And she still prefers the pool over the ocean, although she still loves to walk the beach and collect shells and ocean glass and stones :) and she's still very much into making crafts and still has her love for pink and frills and glitter lol

3. The incident with Mark made them even stronger than they were before. Tyler's resilience and resolve to find her and her tenacity and will to do anything possible to keep their baby alive has filled them both even more respect and admiration and appreciation for each other. They communicate better, Tyler doesn't fly off the handle and say things that hurt her and has learned to handle that behaviour. They seem to even love each other more after 15 years.

4. No. Tyler's still very much Tyler in that respect. And some of his OCD tendencies have calm down a little. He doesn't fidget as much, doesn't need everything completely in order and tidy. He's learned to curb a lot of that.

5. He will not cope at all. At first he'll be able to handle it, but without meds, his brain will become his worst enemy during all of this.

6. Not really. He never had strong feelings for her. He was attracted to her and enjoyed the time he spent with her, but when she started pressing for more in their 'relationship', he realized he didn't feel the same way. That they were better off ending things were they were and trying to remain friends and colleagues. He didn't want to lead her on and give her any kind of hope that there'd be more between them.

7. Tasman loves to swim and ride horses. Those are two main loves. He also enjoys drawing and painting and is actually very talented at both. And he loves music! His dad bought him drums he can mess around on for his third birthday lol

8. Kota was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder, sensory disfunction, and a global developmental delay that leaves him slightly behind cognitvely.

9. Millie will definitely have a hard time. A lot of different emotions. Anger because he said he'd never go out in the field again (that was one of his promises on his 50th birthday, that he'd be full time behind the scenes). Fear because she doesn't know where he is and what's happening to him. A lot of sadness. She's still very close to her dad, even if they do butt heads a lot with their warring personalities.

On Writing: Identity Shenanigans

Secret identities. Hidden dark pasts. The orphan who turns out to be the king’s son. And all kinds of disguises, from the classic hastily-borrowed enemy uniform (see Raiders of the Lost Ark for problems with that) to carefully impersonating another sex, culture, or even species. Writers and readers love identity shenanigans.

With good reason. Humans are social animals, meaning significant parts of our identities are socially constructed. By our culture, by our families, by the reactions of people around us and our reactions to them in turn. The nature vs. nurture debate is probably going to go on forever, but no one can deny that nurture plays a significant factor. Someone who’s never had the chance to pick up a sword will likely never be a master swordsman, even if his birth parents were a dojo master and a legendary assassin; on the other hand, even the clumsiest child adopted by acrobats is likely to learn something about tumbles and handstands, if only through sheer stubborn imitation and repetition.

Yet because we construct so much of our selves, we have a deep fascination with what might be entirely beyond our ability to change. What, if anything, was passed on from our ancestors that we can’t change, for good or ill? And because we can’t change it - because it came from parents or grandparents or who knows how far back - how much do their lives and fates foreshadow our own?

Villainous Lineage is just one of many, many tropes dealing with this idea. It is, unfortunately, a trope probably Older Than Dirt, to the point several cultures considered a criminal’s relatives - and especially children - just as guilty as they were. In some times and places, wiping out a whole family down to newborns in arms wasn’t a war crime, it was justice.

(Supposedly. There are enough stories of humans being human, and my god man that’s a baby I’m not letting this happen, to indicate that no matter what the culture, a fair number of people considered youngsters potentially innocent and would try for rescues if they could pull it off without getting killed themselves.)

Thing is, a lot of stories use this as a sudden Reveal to either explain why someone who might have been heroic was actually a hidden villain all along, or to give a hero an existential crisis. And... that’s valid, and likely true to life in history. But I think it’d be put to better use if you built up to it.

I also think it’d be more realistic in a story that way. Because if someone’s adopted, no matter how well you’ve kept the secret... well, certain aspects of nature will be noticed. The scholar in a family of soldiers, the kid who just doesn’t quite look like the rest, the tendencies to get ill - or stay healthy - that don’t match every other relative in the area. If you can bring those up, and scatter them through the story, then the reader will get an actual Reveal instead of a shock out of nowhere. “Aha! There were all these clues - we should have known all along!” Much more satisfying for a reader.

(Or viewer. The Imperial Coroner does an excellent job with this. As of ep 32 I can count no less than six people who aren’t who everyone thought they were - some adopted, some disguised, and some who’d had their reputations manipulated drastically.)

If you really want to take it over the top? Weave more than identity shenanigans into your story. Weave in little bits that make it clear that deceptions happen, and some things have to be investigated before you know anything for sure. The Imperial Coroner does this with a string of counterfeit coins at the very beginning of the story, that ultimately lead to murder, betrayal, and an attempt to overthrow the empire.

Looks like the bad guys aren’t going to pull that last evil off, though. Because one of those rescued innocents (and possibly two of them) has started unraveling the plot by uncovering her past, and bringing one truth to light brings up so many more....

Bring on the shenanigans. But always root them in some truth the characters can find. Because who I am should have a definite answer!

What are your summer plans?

Finish doing construction works at my parent's home as a ''gift'' (I prefer using word ''helping''). I want them happy, since they both have health issues, but I'm doing the nasty work almost alone and I'm really drained by all the dust, cement, paint, chemicals, suffocating in gas masks and just want to get it over with.

Complete my workshop wall drawings. Draw Pantocrator, something more.

Finish creating, decorating my little workshop space. Make enough time to work with my drawing skills, figure out what other handcrafts I'd like to make, like ship models, jewellery or similar, probably from metal, brass mostly, I used to make replicas of some historical WWII airplanes, but it's just one small source of income and not very exciting anymore, unless I'll think of a way of how to display the models more interesting. For now, I must draw many portraits. I really want to become almost completely self sustainable.

Improve my sports skills, physical and mental strength, endurance, discipline. My goal is to run a half marathon, not sure I'll be able to do a full marathon yet. Hopefully lift more heavier weights and build more arm muscles, maybe finally be able to handstand. Go at least on one hike through Curonian Spit. Naturally, I'll sign into a running competition in my city as always.

Visit an acquaintance in Norway if the travel restrictions don't come back. He will have a place in a forest given for a while by a friend. It would be beneficial to spend a little time away from my comfort zone, relatives, work and gather my thoughts, see a different way of living, different landscape, culture, people and discuss spiritual subjects, because we both are very passionate about it but also have very different views, but that's what makes it fun.

Spend more time in nature, harvest, dry local herbs, learn more survival skills, try serious spiritual fasting and prayer, seek for answers.

Spend more time showing love, attention and care to the people who need it around me. It's a shame I help my grandmother too little and a quite lonely widow that is a friend of my family.

Visit and explore some small villages and towns of Lithuania

Read more books (history, classics, mythology) and buy some about necessary, practical skills like planting, farming, first aid

On that note, I'd like to visit a father of an acquaintance because he owns a farm, takes care of animals for many years and seemed very excited that somebody actually wants to help a bit and in return, learn

Attend more cultural events that has to do with folklore, our baltic tribes history, visit more museums Thank You for your question! :)
