I rrrrrrreeeeaaalllllyyyy need marvel to mess around with the whole humans are deathworlders thing cause so far the aliens we got in the MCU are:
Skrulls
Chitauri
Titans (Thanos)
Kree
Asgardians & the other Nine Realms (Frost Giants, etc.)
and then some other things that have less representation but still there:
Gamora
Groot
Drax
Yondu
Howard the Duck???
but anyways, as far as the Chitauri, Skrulls, and Kree (and also Thanos’ children), humans are far less technologically advanced; the Chitauri are controlled from a mothership, which as bad strategy as it is, it’s still a lot more advanced than the tech on Earth. Humans are also looked down upon by everyone from Thanos to Loki to the Kree. Skrulls are shapeshifters, need I say more. The Asgardians are literally gods with magic powers that live for thousands of years and have enhanced strength. Ebony Maw can do neat magic with his hands, and he also has those funky needles that he was poking at Strange with in Infinity War. But I want to see another alien species in the MCU where the characters realize that they are afraid of humans; but not because of tales of the Avengers or Captain Marvel or because the humans are protected by the Gods of Asgard. They’re afraid of humans because it’s built in, because the humans are apex predators. Or maybe the aliens slowly realize that they should fear the humans, once they see the pack bonding and the incredible stamina, and the weird sixth sense of feeling when someone’s watching you. Idk I just think that would be really neat

(Read More Below the Cut)
Bio:
As part of Project CADMUS’ endless attempts for contingency plans and strategies against metahuman heroes and crime fighting vigilantes should they go rouge, The higher brass commission a restart to their highly effective cloning process with some modifications to their original design. In this case, create a clone at a younger age so they can be more easily swayed therefore controllable under their orders when the time arises. Futhermore, with hiring some mystics and magic based metas on their side, CADMUS was able to acquire DNA from Human turned Amazonian Warrior and Veteran Titans Member, Donna Hinckley Troy aka Troia.
After initial gestation which lasts about 5-6 months, the clone had by then developed into a young woman which bears a lot of resemblance to Donna albeit with some alterations due to the incorporation of other Amazonian DNA within her samples. Once she reaches an age resembling that of a 10 year old, by then thanks to the transference of all sorts of knowledge, from the basics about social skills including table manners, the learning of that English and Ancient Greek Languages, all the way up to the most advanced and complex of Amazonian combats techniques on the battlefield, the clone dubbed Subject 66 was finally released from her pod, to officially begin her training under CADMUS’ wing.
However, what the scientists at those hadn’t entirely counted on was Subject 66 exhibiting personality traits which actively questions and speaks against their goals for her, all of which conflict with her extraordinary emotions of free will and self empowerment. While they had managed some of the training they had in mind with positive results, CADMUS was overall unable to exactly control Subject 66, only reason she even cooperated with their training and what passed for their care was because at that time, she had nowhere else to go.
Enter Donna and her ‘sister’ Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Sandsmark aka Wonder Girl. During an extensive battle against routine Titan nemeses The HIVE/Fearsome Five, the secret laboratory CADMUS was operating in that contains Subject 66 was discovered by an errant Donna being tossed right into its walls, crashing though the complex and down to the vault which led to the Subject’s living quarters. She hadn’t found enough to notice her clone though as Donna immediately rushed back into the battle right out of the building. Subject 66 however noticed her ‘bedroom’ vault was wide open, allowing her to fly out of there to delicate her freedom since that the CADMUS personnel had left in a massive hurry. Once finally outside the building complex after so long, Subject 66 saw the battle between the two Wonder Girls and the HIVE/Fearsome Five, so far the battle not going so well for the Wonders. Just Donna was pinned to the street floor and about to receive a nasty looking face punch from Mammoth, suddenly the fist is caught midway through. Donna peaks an eye opening, revealing a lone girl with jet black hair with golden streaks, clad in a grey and black bodysuit with both her hands on Mammoth’s fist, holding it there with immense super strength but delivering an uppercut to the villain, sending him flying to the complete outskirts of the city, shocking much of the HIVE and allowing Cassie and Donna to gain the edge; ultimately winning the battle and saving the day.
Shortly after the HIVE are apprehended by the Bludhaven PD, Subject 66 is immediately taken to Titans Tower, making formal introductions about what she knows about herself to the Titans and their adjacent Young Just Us team. It’s here thanks to DNA testing from Victor Stone aka Cyborg the Subject learns of her genetic progenitor being none other than Donna herself, a decision that no doubt would be a major shock but Donna, being the compassionate and rational woman she is, would take sympathy with this clone of hers, valuing her as her person and understanding her feelings for freedom. This especially gets prominent once Amanda Waller, Head of CADMUS and flanked by her Task Force X, arrives later on that day with the demands to get Subject 66 back under their custody.
Donna and Subject 66 however are insistent and persuasive with Waller; a back and forth that goes for about 1 hour and with the ultimatum that should the Subject being taken by CADMUS, the Titans won’t be afraid to reveal their many dirty secrets of all sorts of misbehavior to the public, Waller eventually backs down and allows Subject 66 to stay with the Titans and Donna in particular. Once the helicopter leaves the roof, Subject 66 gives a major hug to Donna in thankfulness for allowing her to stay with them, a hug Donna gives right back.
Over the course of the next few months, with weekly visits to Themyscira for enhancing and perfecting her training with the Amazons alongside Cassie in particular, forming a sort of mentor and mentee bond between them, forging her own custom made outfit heavily patterned after both Donna and Cassie’s while making it her own and meeting and befriending with the son of Donna’s close friend Nightwing, Jakand’r/Jake Grayson aka Skybird along his best friend Christopher Grayson Kent aka Nightwing Phantom, The clone also develops close bonds and connections with Donna and her birth son Robbie Long aka Darkstar, eventually also gaining a new civilian name once her adoption papers are fully completed: Penelope Haney Troy, ‘Penny’ for a nickname.
With that, she then declares her newfound crime fighting superhero identity of Hoplite, named after the elite warrior classes of many Ancient Greek city states, in particular Sparta. Also a proud de facto apprentice of Wonder Girl who Penelope looks up to as a de facto Aunt.
Occupation: 6th Grade Student of Bludhaven Academy, Amazonian Warrior in Training
Superhero Outfit: A Black and Gold Version of the NTT era Wonder Girl outfit Donna had worn with a skirt in place of pants, and the stars on it being pink and white. Complimenting the outfit is a pair of goggles once belonging to Cassie, given as a gift as a sign of their small yet strong bond growing overtime. When Penny offers said googles back, Cassie tells her not to worry as she’s got plenty of spares
Physical Appearance: Long and Combed Jet Black Hair with Golden Streaks
Bright Ocean Blue Eyes
Medium Frame with a Healthy Muscle Build Around the Arms
No Scars Present
Trivia
- A big fan of the Bratz Dolls, Penny has amassed a sizable and impressive collection with her allowance money and spare change. Despite good efforts to preserve them, she still allows others to play with them. Its one of the many things that she can share in common with Mar’i Grayson aka Nightstar
- Regarding her half brother Robbie, despite being younger than him age wise, she staunchly comes to his defense if any girls start flirting with him or pursue crushes on him. Already into her first year attending school, she’s scared off about three girls who she can sense can break his heart.
- Besides his Bis Sis Mar’i, Chris Kent and Jasper Logan, Penny Troy is the one person Jake can trust above all others and most definitely one of the ones he can both relate and confide to for nearly everything. The bond between Penny and Jake has been routinely compared to the strong platonic bond between their respective parents Donna and Dick Grayson aka Nightwing. It’s a comparison frankly none of them can deny
- Speaking of Jake and Chris, while she hasn’t joined their group Team StarKnights just yet, she’s still considered a proud honorary member. She even has her own bedroom set up at the StarKnights’ base whenever it’s needed.
- Like so many in this generation of heroes, Penny can clearly see the small crushes Jake and one girl from school Meredith Robinson have for each other despite their consistent denial of it. She often is among the many ones who try planning secret dates from those two. Seeing Jake blush every time he gets too to Meredith always being a playful grin to her face.
- A Fan of 70s to 80s Rock n Roll, in particular the band called Fleetwood Mac. Takes inspiration from said band to learn playing piano, harp and most importantly for her, a cowbell. As such is often present for when Chris and Jake reform their own band, The Sidekicks, along with Mar’i and Chris’ brother Jon Kent

Genjutsu is so underused in the series, it's a crime (totally not still salty about the potential for Sakura to be a genjutsu user and the potential themes that would bring to her arcs)
So, any more detailed ideas for the kinds of illusions yoir oc would use? Any favourites? How do the poisons play into them? Are they causing hallucinations? Making the illusion easier to apply? The means of finishing an opponent trapped in an illusion?
(I’m so sorry I just now saw this)
Yea genjutsu is so underused in the series!! A crime truly.
Kaori’s illusions can range between realistic to fantastical, mainly depending on what the circumstances are. Her favorites are of course the more crazy ones HAHAHAHA!! But I imagine she uses the more realistic illusions more. They tend to be centered around plants and flowers, but studying under Anko snakes become a factor as well.
The poisons can either enhance or even cause the illusions in her opponents. They’re much more effective when they’re injected with her senbon, but she does learn how to infuse gas poisons as well.
Her go to illusions and poisons tend to be ones that cause paralysis or knock her opponents out. She has low stamina, so she tries to make up for that by trying to knock out her opponents quickly (which is the opposite of chihiro’s typical strategy of wearing her opponents out).
Finishing off her opponents usually consists of trapping them in a genjutsu that sends them into a coma, or the illusions become so powerful that even a simple push or poke from her will cause her opponents to believe they’re being fatally wounded.
Feel free to ask more if you’d like!!

Lies of P- A Homage to FromSoft's Soulful Deceptions
In the realm of the Fromsoft's iconic RPG legacy and its uniquely unmatched formular, Lies of P stands proudly as it's own rendition, that weaves its intricate tapestry into the rich fabric of player customization, with the signature style that defines the Souls series and what so many developers have tried to replicate, but so many have failed. Taking inspiration from the Souls series signature level of challenge and atmosphere, Lies of P also adds its own unique flavour and atmopshere to define it as a brilliant stand alone game from the new developers Neowiz.
Tumblr media
A game that embarks on a journey that makes you thread between a line of truth or lie. Deception can be an adversay but also an ally. The game elevate the essence of player agency. We navigate the world as the line of truth or illusion is as blurred as the boundaries of customization itself. We'll look deeper into the factors of why Lies of P emerges as a commendable chapter in the RPG fromsoft formular.
The DNA of the Lies of P is what makes the game a kin to the Souls series. The twisted dystopian landscapes, where intricate and deeply woven levl design meets immersive and atmospheric storytelling. Each unique setting feels like its own individual nightmare that we have to carefully traverse and encounter the abomintions that wait for us in the shadows. From the Barren Swamps, to the deserted streets of Krat, the Grand Exhibiton hall to the Cathedral Library, Each location has it's own distinctive, colour palette, enemy variety, weapons to be discovered and grotesque bosses to be faced. The eerie echoes of Souls are there, but with a mischievous grin.
Perhaps the most standout feature in the Souls games are their anxiety inducing, rage producing, challenging boss fights. Lies of P takes the boss battles to a whole new level, one that can match the efforts produced of the Souls series. Lies of P unleashes a rogue gallery of creatures that'll make your jaw drop, eyes widen and not just because they are grotesquely unique. These bosses are a twisted canvas of artistry, like our worst nightmares being brough to life before our very eyes, with a splash of psychedelic flair.
Tumblr media
Each boss battle starts off as a mere enigma. Who are they? What are they? The fight is a convaluted puzzle, a wicked masterpiece demanding players to watch their every move, decoding their attack patterns like a gamer detective. Each fight isn't just button mashing, it's a dance strategy. Dodge dodge attack, block dodge roll, attack dodge attack, one badly timed slash from a misread move and face the damage that these goliaths can inflict upon you. It's a dance of strategy, where mastering the rhythm to each grotesque spectacle is the key to victory. There will be blood and there will be death, but the sweet taste of completion is a thrill and a compelling emotion for the player. By the end not only do you know your enemy inside out from an attacking point of view, you also understand who they are , or who they once were and their place within this dystopian nightmare of Krat.
Another key component within the game that adds to it's incredible attention to detail and it's loveletter to the soulsbourne games, is through its very thorough weapon and ability customization. The games meticuous detail allows the player to fine tune their weapons and abilities including the weapons handle and P's puppet arm to personalize their arsenal that complements their desired playstyle. This not only enhances the players immersion in the combat but also also fosters strategic depth. Players can adapt and change their playstyle to cater against different enemies and expose their weaknesses. Do you want to spend your points on vitality and vigor to increase your health and stamina allowing you to fight more aggressively with a more lightweight weapon that deals less damage but in faster swings. Or will you prioritize your Motivity and advance stats, allowing you to play more passive with heavier weapons, waiting for your moment to strike and then dealing a ton of damage with one or two heavy swings.
The well crafted player abilites add a further layer of complexity to the game, ensuring a dynamic and engaging playing experience. The creative and diverse synergy between the weapon customization and player abilites , contribues to the overall excellence of the game, giving each individual player their own diverse and dynamic experience, offering multiple playstyles.
Tumblr media
The compelling story within Lies of P is captivatin due to it's very intricate plit, multidimensional characters and thematic depth. At its core the story revolves around the protagonist, 'Pinochio' or as within the universes law, 'P' . His past and origin story begins as an enigma, his complex and mysterious motivations drives the plot forward. He insists on aiding the residents of Hotel Krat, yet we are not fully convinced why. P's journey is rife with moral ambiguity. Do you lie to someone by showing compassion and therefore embracing the human that has sparked inside you, or do you tell the truth, comfirming to the roles and code of which a puppet must obey. Each decision shapes for story for better of for worse.
The world we navigate is one where trust is a commodity and never guaranteed. Allicances are constantly shifting. Do you make yourself a new friend or foe? This ambiguity adds constant tension and suspense, that keeps the players guessing who just might betray you next.
The supporting cast of charcaters are equally as compelling, each with their own agendas to strive towards and secrets to locked away shut. These often intersect with P's own quest for the ultimate truth behind the tragedy that has struck Krat. From cunning adversaries to unlikely allies, every character contributes in their way through their conversations and character abilites that aid P in the intricate web of mystery and intrigue that propels the story forward.
The multiple endings either give the player the ultimate satisfaction of knowing a definitive resolution or leaving you in complete ambiguity. These endings are carely shaped by which choices you make throughout the story. When do you choose deciet and when are you truthful. If you choose to hand your hand to Gepetto or are mostly truthful throughout the story, your story will end with ambiguity as you have concluded P's journey to comfirm to the life of nothing more than a puppet, leaving many questions unanswered. This ending perhaps symbolizes the elusive nature of truth and the complexity yet cruel reality of human existence. Many interactions that allowed you to tell the truth often meant you would deliver a harsh truth to a lost and desperate resident of Krat. Lying however would offer them a sense of blissful ignorance. The unresolved ending invites speculation and contemplation, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions about P's fate and the overall meaning of the journey.
Alternatively, the story may end with a definitive resolution that ties up many loose ends and provides us with a closure to the narrative arc. In this ending, you choose not to give your heart to Geppeto but instead confront him and make him understand that you are a puppet no more, but a real boy with a real heart and soul. This ending offers some clarity regarding P's fate and the ultimate outcome for his quest for truth as well as tackling his personal demons and transitioning into a human. It emphasizes the themes of redemption and revelation and the triumph of deception and morality over the truth. Only the human mind can understand the deeper meaning of deception.
Tumblr media
Lies of P stands as a homage to FromSoftwares distinctive style fo games, drawing inspiration from many elements such as boss fights, characters, weapon customization, abilites and story. Just like in FromSoftware games Lies of P immerses players in the richly detailed world filled with enigmatic characters and formidable challenges. It crafts its own unique identity whilst playing homage to the unique style. It offers a truly unforgettable gaming experience reminiscent of the best that FromSoftware has to offer.

Delia's Powers + Motherhood || delia x will @worldofsenelfy
Delia's demonic powers, while a part of her identity, can have both positive and challenging effects on her ability to care for Ava and Rowan. Here are some ways in which her powers may impact her role as a mother:
Enhanced Sensory Perception: Delia's demonic powers may heighten her senses, allowing her to quickly detect changes in the twins' well-being. She may be more attuned to their needs, such as hunger, discomfort, or illness, enabling her to respond promptly and effectively.
Energy and Stamina: Demonic powers often grant enhanced physical abilities. Delia may possess increased stamina, enabling her to endure sleepless nights, long hours of care, and the demands of caring for two infants simultaneously.
Potential Risks: Delia's demonic powers inherently come with a level of unpredictability and potential danger. While she may have control over her abilities, there is always a risk of unintentional displays of power that could pose a threat to the safety and well-being of Ava and Rowan. Delia and Will must be vigilant and establish safeguards to minimize any potential risks.
Balancing Personal Identity: As Delia embraces her role as a mother, she may also grapple with the integration of her demonic identity. This internal struggle could impact her ability to fully connect with her children or create moments of self-doubt. Open communication and support from Will will be crucial in helping Delia navigate these complexities.
Managing Public Perception: Delia's demonic powers might draw attention or curiosity from others, which could create challenges when it comes to protecting her children's privacy. Delia and Will may need to take precautions to shield Ava and Rowan from unwanted scrutiny or potential harm caused by those who fear or misunderstand Delia's powers.
To ensure the well-being of Ava and Rowan, Delia and Will will need to strike a balance between embracing Delia's powers and implementing necessary safeguards. They should establish clear communication channels, seek guidance from supernatural experts if needed, and continuously adapt their parenting strategies to create a safe and loving environment for their children.

Honkai Star Rail (HSR) is the latest Mihoyo game released within 2023, and players are immensely enjoying both the game, and the new game experience. However, like everything in life, HSR does has its pros and cons.
To explore those areas, I will be comparing HSR with its sister game, Genshin Impact (Genshin). The reason is because the game mechanics are similar to that of Genshin, hence comparing them seems reasonable. However, I will only be touching on the features lightly since HSR is still an infant at this point. Comparing a toddler to a teenager does not seem fair.
I also have to preface that in no way is this post meant to discriminate either games. This post is just to explore what are the game features and mechanics present in HSR and Genshin.
1️⃣ Movement features
Tumblr media
(Picture Source: GameWith thru’ Google Image Search)
Okay, this is the most obvious and the first thing that will definitely come to everybody’s minds. 
First of all, I understand why HSR does not have a gliding feature in the game (for now) as the game is set in space. And even if there is, it most likely will be redundant to copy exactly as Genshin. HSR is set in a futuristic/cyberish setting. If there were to be gliders, I think jet packs strapped to the body, or boots enhancement to make the characters fly like Iron Man would make more sense.
Secondly, climbing. I have to admit, I don’t really see any potential need to climb in HSR... Imagine climbing inside Herta’s Space Station. Like, where on earth would you climb to? 
Thirdly, HSR characters can’t jump. This is very hilarious. HSR characters can’t jump. That is the most basic movement feature that should be included in every game. I don’t really understand why the developers did not let HSR characters jump. Players who experienced this started poking fun of HSR by making short videos of Genshin characters being able to jump.
And finally, sprinting. I have to say that HSR sprint is a lot better than Genshin. There is no stamina bar that limits your sprinting in HSR. You can sprint as long as you want in the game.
2️⃣ Battle Mechanics
Tumblr media
(Picture Source: Hoyoverse thru’ Google Image Search)
This is another obvious difference between the two games. HSR provides a new battle experience by introducing turn-based battle. In a turn-based battle, characters each take turns to deliver an action (attack, defend, withdraw etc.) and receive damage from the enemies. The good news about turn-based games is that they are generally one of the easiest strategy and attack games. The bad news... well, it’s Mihoyo.
Both game battle types has its good and bad. In Genshin, players may struggle during battles if they do not build and use the politically correct team composition. However, it is still possible to overcome the battle with the “wrong” team composition as the battle mechanics does not restrict you to waiting for a turn. In other words, you can attack with a fire element, and quickly follow up with an electric element, apply healing effects to your character, and apply a shield afterwards. Those actions continuously applies damage to your enemies. And all of this could happen within a few seconds.
Tumblr media
(Picture Source: PC Invasion thru’ Google Image Search)
On the other hand, turn-based games requires you to think strategically on how you should attack and/or defend, and even consider withdrawing from the battles. Think of it like a game of chess. Both players take turns to move their pieces, but at the same time, they have to ponder quickly and wisely on what their next move should be so that they could win the game.
In most of the turn-based games I have played, the sequence you place your characters in the team usually isn’t the biggest issue; it is the attack power your team has. The same can be said for HSR. The attack power of your characters in the team makes a difference to whether you can survive the battle. In my experience (with other turn-based games), my strongest characters would always be able to carry me through majority of the game.
As mentioned earlier, the sequence in which your characters are placed in the team for turn-based games isn’t usually an issue. However, in HSR, it is. 
Tumblr media
(Picture Source: Polygon thru’ Google Image Search)
The reason is because in each battle, whoever is placed on the extreme left end of your team will be the first to attack, followed by the second, third, and the fourth. If we use the picture above as an example, it means that when a HSR battle begins, Bronya will be the first attacker, followed by March, then yourself (Kiwi), and finally Serval. After one round, the sequence repeats.
During a HSR battle, there is no way for you to switch your other characters in the team. Meaning if it is Bronya’s turn to attack, but you want to switch straight to Serval, you cannot do it. The only time you are allowed to “skip” to Serval is if you use Serval’s ultimate skill. Afterwards, it goes back to Bronya, or March, depending if you have already used Bronya’s attack prior to utilizing Serval’s ultimate skill.
3️⃣ Healing
Tumblr media
(Picture Source: Prima Games thru’ Google Image Search)
There are a couple of ways to heal in Genshin. The first is to visit a Statue of the Seven. The second way is to use your healing characters. The third way is to stuff your dying characters with healing food.
Visiting the Statue of the Seven during a battle is possible, it disrupts the battle and when the player returns, they will have to start from the beginning again. This is why many players in Genshin tend to stock up on healing food and place a healing character in the team. If one of their characters is dying during the battle, the players can use either the healing food midway through the battle, or just apply their healing characters’ healing skill to heal their dying characters.
In HSR, while we do have a healing character, it can be difficult to receive heals from her during the battle. As mentioned in the previous point, each action in a turn-based battle is considered as an action. Once that action has been taken, the game will move on to the next character or enemy. Hence, letting Natasha, the only healer in the game, to help provide healing during the battle is something that all players has to consider.
Tumblr media
(Picture Source: Dot Esports thru’ Google Image Search)
Now, I am not saying that players should not equip healers into their team; healers are great assets to teams especially when encountering tough battles. But players should make wise decisions when equipping healers. Not only do they take up a slot in your team’s 4 character space, they most likely do not provide much damage.
Moreover, the high damage dealers may perish earlier before the healer could heal in turn-based games. While they are great assets, my personal recommendation is to focus on making your team as strong as possible. Healers should be considered the last resort to add into the team.
4️⃣ The system features
Tumblr media
(Picture Source: Item Level thru’ Google Image Search)
Players who has played Genshin will have an easier time navigating their way through most of the system features in HSR. Most of it is very similar to Genshin’s system layout.
Given that Genshin is not HSR, it is understandable for HSR to adopt other monikers for their respective system features. But I feel that some of the names are quite confusing.
Tumblr media
(Picture Source: Silicorne thru’ Google Image Search)
One of those confusing names is the cooking. In Genshin, it’s simply called cooking. In HSR, it’s called Synthesizing. 
I hope as time goes by I will get more used to HSR’s system features. But I also hope that the developers of HSR make it as simple as Genshin.
-------------------------------------------------------
Alright, that is it for now. I can see that I am running out of brain juice towards the end of my post 😂
I would like to remind once again that the post is not meant to discriminate one game against the other, but just an overview of the comparison between the two game features.

Fnaf revival au(headcanons):
Since both evan and Elizabeth can fight very well, they both often spar with each other whenever they have free time. Now, you might think that Elizabeth would win the sparring matches she has with her brother. But she gets easily beaten by evan in most of their sparring matches. Some matches eli wins, but only because evan goes easy on her, but the other ones, evan shows no mercy towards her.
Now, you might think that since Elizabeth has metal bones in her legs, she can win easily and trample her brother with just one kick. But usually, it doesn't work because evan has some fast reaction time, most of which have to do with his enhanced hearing. Plus, before the bite, when he was dealing with the nightmares, as the nights progressed, he started to understand what the nightmares would do more and more. So that, plus his enhanced hearing, he's able to know when Liz will attack and will dodge it like it's nothing. It's kinda like ultra instinct a little bit.
Liz is always caught off guard by this, which also gives evan a chance to counter attack(which also catches Liz off guard 🤣😅).
Bonus:
Also, not only is evan strong, but he's also very fast, even faster than Elizabeth. Elizabeth does get an extra boost from the metal bones in her legs, but her stamina runs out quickly, but evans stamina takes a long while to run out.
In fact, in high school, evan, before joining the robotics program, he was on the track team. He was also the best on his team because even though evan wears sweaters, hoodies, or stuff that covers most of his body, evan is actually pretty fit, mainly because he exercises often and because of that is pretty strong. He also has pretty good endurance(which results in his high pain tolerance). You're probably wondering why evan can and will beat you in a fight. Well, this is why, because even though evan is a very sweet and smart boy, he's also a savage. I mean, yall gotta remember that this is the same boy who defended himself against 10 ANIMATRONICS(the jack o animatronics don't count) through 8 NIGHTS IN A ROW(yes, I searched how many there were), and he faced them all, even though he was scared(this was also when he was still 8 YEARS OLD). So, you can't just sit there and tell me that "he couldn't do anything during those nights because he was too terrified." Well, that didn't stop this kid or his will to live from giving up. That's why I said that evan uses these strategies from his past with the nightmares when he's fighting(this is also why Elizabeth is scared to fight her brother sometimes. Evan's a freaking SAVAGE, and nobody can tell me otherwise).

In defense of drag:
Drag is an incredibly important art form, as are all subversive forms of expression. However, this is especially important to a historically marginalized community of which I am a part, and I will not stand silently by as it is needlessly targeted and regulated by fear-based ideology.
Dolly Parton is Drag. Liberace, Eddie Izzard, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Harry Styles and soooo many other cultural icons have played with society’s boundaries of gender expression with impunity due to some other asset they’ve offered or privilege they’ve been afforded.
Your local drag performer is no different. Neither is the 12 year old who secretly plays dress up with their sister’s clothes, or longs to express themselves in their own unique way. Their freedom to follow that impulse is just as important to the culture at large. The damage that is done by sending a message that their self-expression is harmful, unwelcome or indecent is far greater than attending a drag story time or being exposed to the art form in mainstream culture.
I’ll admit that I was once turned off by drag because of the discomfort it espoused. It was initially unsettling seeing men subvert the societal box imposed upon them. It seemed dirty and vulgar, and I wanted nothing to do with it. It evoked the shameful feelings of internalized homophobia that I felt as a child when I overheard my parents being chastised for letting me play with dolls or take ballet.
The very sight of it made the toxic masculinity that had been insidiously pressed upon me my entire life bubble up from my gut in a suffocating pall. I’m not ashamed to admit that I once felt that way so others who still feel that discomfort know that it’s okay to feel it at first - that’s sort of the point.
I’m eternally grateful that I had a dear friend basically force me to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race from the beginning, and to say it changed my life is an understatement.
It enriched it.
Becoming a patron of drag not only broadened my worldview but also enhanced my sense of humor, beauty, and whimsy. There is nothing like the awe-inspiring experience of seeing an exquisite drag performer like Violet Chachki up close and personal, or literally rolling on the floor in uncontrollable laughter from the brilliant comedic offerings of Jinkx Monsoon or Bianca Del Rio.
Drag fearlessly and fabulously plays with the foibles of this unruly thing we call society. In the words of the infinitely wise RuPaul Charles, it engages the “tenacity of the human spirit”.
I’m no longer ashamed to admit that I was that 12 yr old boy who made dresses out of blankets and strutted the imaginary runway in his bedroom. There was absolutely nothing sexual or pathological or perverted about it - it was innocent and pure self-expression. It’s also important to note that these harmless impulses arose naturally, not due to any exposure. It wasn’t until much later that I learned about the drag community. How much easier my adolescent years would have been if I could have seen society validate that, even in the smallest way. I no longer find it dirty or twisted or wrong.
All I can see now is courage and truth.
For those of you traditionalists who are still clutching your theoretical pearls I will leave you with this - I simply do not enjoy or connect with the great American sport of football.
I’ve given it the ole’ college try! I’ve gone to games, had friends and family members explain it, even tried to follow fantasy leagues and betting pools in order to understand the appeal.
After thorough investigation, I can pretty confidently say that it’s just not my bag. However, I can’t stop the fact that football is simply everywhere. It’s on TV when I go out to eat, it’s the daily conversation topic of my co-workers, it’s the event that completely took over my city a few weeks ago.
I can still acknowledge and respect how important it is to some people, not to mention the Herculean athletic stamina and strategy required by its players.
That said, if I were in some alternate universe where legislation was introduced to regulate the right to have tailgate parties, middle and high school football teams, and /or publicly celebrate this fundamentally American sport, I would be in full support of appealing it. I would fight for the existence of something that is important to a large swath of society—even if I cannot understand or connect to it.
To put it simply:
**YOU DON’T HAVE TO ENJOY OR ENGAGE WITH DRAG TO SUPPORT IT**
However, denying others the right to do so or attempting to eradicate/control it in public spaces sends a very scary and pointed message to people like yours truly. It also denies the simple fact that our society is a rich tapestry made up of many vastly different interests, tastes, and communities.
These things simply MUST be allowed to be expressed freely, otherwise we start toward a very slippery slope of a society where maybe something that you love and cherish will one day be deemed unfit for the mainstream culture.
I implore you to keep an open mind, and listen to those who are speaking up about this.
We are good, we are valid, we are important. So much of the culture you enjoy originated in queer/marginalized communities. Please allow us our freedom to keep creating - I can assure you that you would not like to live in a world without it.
