School Newspaper AU
Set in the present time, all the Newsies are a part of the school newspaper when they notice that the head teacher, Mr Pulitzer, has set up a new anonymous advice column called "The Bottom Line." Nobody knows who's the one writing everything and have been desperately trying to figure out who it is.
Jack, the cartoonist, has ended up becoming friends with a member of the exhibition committee, David. Though if you were to ask Katherine, Jack's best friend and head reporter of the paper, he most definitely has a crush on him.
As The Bottom Line grows more popular, and Jack starts to notice how distant and stressed David's becoming, he starts to put the pieces together and realises the pressure Davey's under by Mr Pulitzer to keep the column running with no help whatsoever.
When he looks around at the whole newspaper committee, he realises the stress everybody is under. The only photographer, Racetrack, is constantly running around the school to take pictures of everything he can, Katherine's running out of ideas for headlines, Crutchie and Albert, the editors have the shortest deadlines ever and none of them have any help in these positions.
So he declares a strike. They're striking until Mr Pulitzer gives them the help necessary to keep the newspaper running.

Okay but
Danny Phantom & MCU/Avengers crossover
Where Danny meets Tony first, ya know builds a reputation, but he never really sticks around at the tower often.
He's usually in and out, barely spends much time just socializing.
Until Stark convinces him to join in an internship with him. Doesn't have to be legit, no paperwork if the kid doesn't want, just to make sure Danny doesn't lose his brilliance in building things.
That's when Danny meets Peter Parker.
Maybe after like the third meet up, Danny realizes he knows that kid. He's too similar to another teen hero he's seen on occasion.
Bada bing bada boom, secret identies revealed
Then what?
Phantom and Spiderman competions
As testing the true limits of these ridiculously strong kids.
Danny being his usual OP self
Peter being able to lift 200-300 tons under diress.
Weight lifting contests? Absolutely.
Speed testing flying versus swinging? You're on.
Fastest reflexes? Let's bet on that.
Taking the biggest hit? We ball.
Catches the most bad guys? Speed run edition.
They make a pact that the only ability that can be used is the ones choosen. Specifically after Danny created to portal during a race.
Peter absolutely using his knowledge of New York to his advantage

AND ANOTHER THING! Going off of my tags on my previous post, outside of me just thinking they're cute I also feel like flowerbyte works better for me purely on a narrative level. One of my biggest pet peeves esp for action movies is when the romantic subplot takes over like half the story without proper development. It doesn't matter WHO it is or how much I like the characters individually I will literally fast forward through every romantic scene if it feels shoehorned in. It makes it so tedious you don't even understand. (Haterism ahead. Well not really 'hate' just mild irritation really. this is looong):
So let's look at Gwen and Miles' relationsip. We start ITSV with Miles basically having a one-sided crush on Gwen. By the end of the film they had just agreed to be friends and have known each other for maybe like a week tops, and *maybe* Gwen reciprocates but it's not extremely clear. Whatever occurs between them in between ITSV and ATSV, we don't see (it's implied that they haven't even seen each other at all for obvious reasons so. oof).
But then we jump into ATSV, and suddenly they're swinging into the sunset talking about how they're "the same"...? Besties. Friends. Niece and nephew. Neither of you know each other dfghjkl
Then the wholeee rest of their scenes together is just the film trying desperately convince us through the music, framing, and even other characters' dialogue that there is romantic (notice how i specify ROMANTIC) tension between these two kids that is just so thick you could cut through it with a butter knife. I'm sorry, but is this tension in the room with us right now...? But okay movie.
Now, compare that to the scene in ATSV where Miles and Margo first bump into each other. They're able to establish romantic chemistry almost IMMEDIATELY! One look and a 'hey'. That's all it fuckin' took! They *both* like each other and it's clear as day.
Then right after, Margo is given a quick implied backstory that instantly gives her and Miles a reason to relate to each other that isn't (necessarily) just about them both being Spider-Man (because, in Margo's words, they're ALL Spider-Man and this means you need more than that to form a genuine connection). Neither of them feel like they can be themselves because their environment at home doesn't allow for it, even without the secret identity. Bada-bing bada-boom instant connection in under 5 minutes and I am still awake by the end of it.
Then, finally, we get a scene that shows that they can, to some extent, trust each other. Margo only just met this dude a few scenes ago, but she immediately goes against Miguel's wishes knowing the consequences and attempts to send him back home because her convictions are stronger than her loyalty to Spider Society. Just that act alone makes her a better ally to Miles than like, half the cast at this point.
...And that creates a bit of a dilemma if Gwiles is meant to be endgame.
As literally everyone and their mother have pointed out by now, Gwen is objectively a bad friend to Miles in this film. But...I would also argue that there are very few instances outside of combat in either film where she's even a *good* friend. And that's sort of the point, isn't it? Gwen has been terrible at friendship for the majority of the time we spend with her because she's traumatized from literally murdering the last good friend she had. Then her dad tried to shoot her. Then Miguel-- you know how it goes. She clearly has a long way to go before even a healthy *friendship* with Miles can start to develop. So that leaves me with a few questions:
A) Why did we wait until the last scene of the SECOND FILM for her to finally decide to be a good friend
B) Why didn't they just give Miles and Gwen more scenes together where they actually get to know each other if their relationship is now so important to the story, and:
C) If Gwen's whole journey is about her inability to maintain strong friendships...Why the FUCK is she the love interest then???
Either we all just got baited, or we are now going to have to spend a decent portion of BTSV watching Gwen try to salvage a friendship that was barely even that developed to begin with, convince the guy whose trust she just lost that she would ALSO make a good girlfriend i guess, and all the while there is now another potential love interest that is clearly, *according to the movie itself*, the better option (or so it seems for now). So like...Where do we go from here?? It just feels like a clumsy narrative decision. And if they do the misogynistic ass 'cat-fight' between two female characters over the main guy I will literally commit a felony. So yeah that's where my head is at right now thank you for reading all the way through my tangent over pixels on a screen sorry everybody

-
She feels his presence behind her as she checks on the grocery list, the three kids were on the cart with Nikki being inside of it so her siblings could be on the little seats, “So,” he begins, “What do we need,gorgeous?”
Beatrice glanced at the grocery list, then up at Rooster with a smile. "Well, we definitely need ice cream. I'm thinking a classic vanilla for the kids, and maybe something with caramel and chocolate for us?"
Rooster chuckled, "You know the way to my heart, Bea. “ he pecks her cheek soundly, “Gonna marry you some day. Anything else on the list?"
She nodded, pointing to a few items. "Milk, eggs, some fresh fruits for the kids, and, oh, we're running low on coffee. Can't have that, right?"
"Absolutely not. Coffee is a non-negotiable. Anything special you want to add to the list?"
Beatrice pondered “Uhhhh…” tapping her chin with the end of her pen. "Hmm, I don’t know? Nothing comes to mind?”
“Nothing?” he arches his brow, “They have those mango flavored sweets that you like.”
Beatrice's eyes lit up at that . "Oh, those sound amazing! Definitely add those to the list. And maybe some extra dark chocolate for when we have our movie night after the kids are in bed?"
Rooster grinned, "Consider it done. Mango sweets and dark chocolate are on the list.”
She smiles at him, walking with her hand on the crook of his elbow so she wouldn’t lose him - hard to when your husband was very tall - and she just made sure that Nikki stayed inside the cart at all times. 
“After this we’ll go to Evelyn,right?” he asks as he slowly lets the cart move forward, smiling down at the twins who were now wide awake.
Beatrice nodded, "Yes, after the grocery shopping, we can swing by Evelyn's place.” she places a fabric softener on the compartment below Nikki’s so she doesn’t touch it. “It must be important, did Jake tell you anything?”
“No.” and he grabs a box of tissues, making sure it was the brand they liked, and does the same, “But maybe they are just wanting to talk. Maybe talk about JJ, Jake loves that kid so much.”
“As he should.”
Rooster’s eyes narrowed playfully, ‘Look at you being protective over your friends.” he gently nudge her shoulder with his “It’s cute.”
Bea laughs quietly, eyebrows furrowing, “I’ll admit, at first I was worried about Jake getting with Ev.” she whispers, “Because…it’s Jake.”
‘Fair.” Rooster smirked, leaning down to speak to her. "Yeah, Jake's not exactly the poster boy for 'settling down and being responsible,' huh?"
Beatrice nodded, a fond smile on her lips. "Exactly. But then I saw how he was with her, and it was like a completely different side of him. It was...heartwarming." she pauses “So if he ever fucks up, he’ll have a lot to worry about.”
He purses his lips, then tilts his head towards her, “...is that how Ev and Shells felt when you started dating me?”
Beatrice's eyes widened at the question, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Oh, absolutely. You can bet Evelyn and Shells had their protective shields up when you came into the picture. Especially Shells, you know how she is."
Rooster chuckled, steering the cart down another aisle. "Which is funny knowing that if it wasn’t for her we wouldn’t be together.."
“God, say that outloud to her and she’d never let that go.”
“But I did a good job in the end.”
"You did," Beatrice confirmed with a teasing glint in her eyes. "Once she realized you were serious about me and weren't just another passing fling, she started warming up to you."
"I can't blame them, though," Rooster admitted, reaching for a box of cereal. "I was a bit of a wild card back then. Amd you were- no, you are perfect.”
Cue the blush.
She giggles, covering her face with a hand, ‘Oh,stop it.’ she giggles more and he kisses her temple, “You are too much,and I love you for it.” his smile only widens as he says that, heart exploding in pure adoration, “I know I worried more than they did.”She reached for a bag of chips, tossing it into the cart, and then turned to Rooster.
"So, what about you?" she asked with a playful grin. "Did you ever worry about how my friends would react to you?"
Rooster pondered for a moment, scratching his head, "Well, not really. I mean, I knew I had to win them over.But I was confident that once they saw how much I loved you, they'd come around." she arches her brow and he clears his throat, “Shells kinda…scared me a little. Ev was okay, she is Cyclone’s daughter but…well,Shells is Shells.”
“Uh-huh, oh she’ll love to know that.”
“She doesn’t need to know,gorgeous.” he mutters, looking down at the twins and then handing Nicole another bag, this time of saltines and she gladly placed it in front of her. Oh, the things that entertain toddlers.
Beatrice arched an eyebrow at Rooster's comment about Shells. "You know she's probably going to give you a hard time about that."
Rooster let out a nervous laugh, "Well, maybe a little. But, hey, I won her over eventually."
She smirked, "You did, and now she practically adores you. It's hard not to love the guy who makes her best friend so happy."
Rooster grinned, feeling a surge of pride,chest puffing . "Yeah, well, your friends are something else. But in a good way."
“True.”
“And, Shells is the human malinois everyone should have as a friend.” He laughed, placing the bananas into the cart. "Well, I suppose it keeps things interesting. And I can't blame her; you're worth a little intimidation."
“Stooop.”
Suddenly, Nicole, pointed to a box of cookies from the shelf and held it up with an innocent smile. Beatrice looked at Rooster, raising an eyebrow.
He chuckled, ruffling Nicole's hair. "Looks like someone has a sweet tooth."
“And she chose your favorite brand,” her brow goes up, “Shocking.”
His own eyebrow mirrored the movement, lips quirking, “It means our oldest has great taste- there you go honey,” Nicole places it on top of the other boxes with a triumphant little shout,then he looks at her, hands on the sides of the cart, to hold himself up, “Just wait until the twins are up and running,” the said babies just blinked up at him.
Beatrice sighed in mock exasperation. "Well, I guess we can't have a successful shopping trip without a few treats. “ she looks down at the list, “Oh,I need to get some mango juice” her lips purse, “Dang, at least there’s nothing–”
“Beatrice?”
A male voice startles the two and Rooster immediately puffs up his chest, looking ahead with a hand on Bea’s lower back, Protective Husband mode was on. A man,not as tall as he was,looks back at the two, “Wow,” he laughs, “Long time,huh?” but Bea looked confused, “Oh,uh,Thomas? From college.”
“Oh…oh! Oh Thomas!” she feigned a smile so well that Rooster was glad he could see through it, “Hi,how…are you?” she immediately touched Rooster’s chest, “This is my husband,Bradley and these are our kids.”
Thomas grinned, extending a hand towards Rooster, who shook it with a firm grip, a subtle warning in his eyes. "Nice to meet you, Bradley. And wow, kids, huh? That's a big change from our college days."
Beatrice, still holding onto Rooster, nodded in agreement. "Absolutely, it's a different kind of adventure now. How have you been, Thomas?"
Thomas scratched the back of his head, his eyes darting between Rooster and Beatrice. "Oh, you know, the usual. Work, life, trying to figure it all out. It's been a while since we caught up."
Beatrice's smile wavered slightly as she glanced at Rooster, who subtly tightened his grip on her. "Yeah, it has been a long time."
Thomas seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded. “Yeah and can I say?" he smiles, “You look…great for someone who just gave birth to three kids.” 
Rooster’s eyes narrowed immediately.
Rooster's jaw tensed at the comment about Beatrice's appearance. He didn’t keep the smile, but his protective instincts were on high alert. Beatrice, however, smoothly deflected the remark with a gracious laugh.
"Oh, thank you, Thomas. It's been a whirlwind, but we're managing just fine." She shot a subtle glance at Rooster, silently communicating that she didn't appreciate the focus on her post-pregnancy body.
Thomas, seemingly oblivious to the tension, turned his attention to the twins in the cart. "Twins and one little girl, right? That's incredible! You guys must have your hands full." Nicole narrowed her eyes just like her father did, “Oh, you are an expressive one!”
“Were you and Bea friends?” Rooster asked before they could continue the conversation, “She never mentioned you.”
Which meant two things:
Either they weren’t friends.
Or
Thomas over there messed up with Bea, bullied her in college. She told Rooster she didn’t have issues like that but, he just had to make sure.
Rooster's question hung in the air, and Thomas shifted uncomfortably under the scrutiny of Rooster's penetrating gaze. Beatrice, sensing the tension, subtly leaned into Rooster's side, rubbing his arm.
Thomas cleared his throat, a nervous smile playing on his lips. "Well, we were in a few classes together, but I wouldn't say we were close friends. You know how college is, people come and go, and we lost touch."
Rooster's expression remained stoic, but the protective glint in his eyes intensified. "Right," he said with a nod. "And…you just remembered her now. Saw her here.” he clicks his tongue, “Right?”
Thomas shifted uncomfortably, his eyes darting around as if searching for an escape route. "Well, yeah, I mean, this is a coincidence and such, I didn’t-” he clears his throat, “I didn’t think I’d see her again.”
Rooster's gaze remained fixed on Thomas, "Funny how life works, bringing old acquaintances back together," he remarked, his tone tinged with a subtle skepticism.
Thomas chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head again. "Yeah, it is. Small world, I guess."
Beatrice, sensing the tension escalating, interjected with a friendly smile. "Well, it's nice to see familiar faces again, regardless of how life brings us back together. Especially grocery shopping, with the kids.” and she gives Rooster a look.
“What, uh,” Thomas however doesn’t shut up, “What do you do man? You are like,” and he flexes his arms to emphasize, “Jacked,hah.”
“...I’m a Navy pilot.”
Rooster's response seemed to catch Thomas off guard, his eyes widening slightly. He stammered for a moment before managing to form a response. "Oh, wow, a Navy pilot! That's, uh, impressive."
Rooster simply nodded, and Beatrice, ever the peacemaker, tried to diffuse it with a light-hearted comment. "Yes, and it helps keep him in shape, I guess." she didn’t mean to squeeze his bicep, it was still nice though, but she did.
Thomas chuckled awkwardly, glancing at Rooster's physique again. "Yeah, I can see that. Must be an exciting job, flying planes and all."
"It has its moments," Rooster replied, the guarded tone in his voice revealing little about his actual experiences. "Anyway, enough about me. Gorgeous.” he turns to Bea, “Time to go home,right?”
“Oh,yeah,” she looks at Thomas, “Nice seeing you again,Thomas.” Nicole was still glaring at the guy, “Hope you have a good day!”
Rooster broke the silence as they navigated away from where the man was the produce section. "So,who was he?”
Beatrice sighed, reaching for a bunch of ripe bananas. " "We had a couple of classes together, but we were never close.And…he was a jerk too, misogynistic asshole.” she frowns, “He always hit on Shells and Ev but n-” she frowns, “...he used to say and please don’t try to hunt him down Roos…he used to say that…I…was full of grace.” 
He stares at her, then down at her curvy body and his eyes narrow, “What?”
“Roos, it was back then, we were young.” she whispers, “He was a jerk, it’s all good.”
Rooster's jaw clenched at the mention,his protective instincts flared, and he struggled to contain the anger simmering beneath the surface. He sighed, squeezing her hand reassuringly. "I know, Bea, but the audacity of some people..."
“I know.” she whispers, “It’s okay, don’t worry.”
He did smile at her but threw a look over his shoulder before they left, narrowing to check if Thomas was within his line of sight.
Fucker.

my genshin oc that i made back in january got the reboot she deserved <3333 utc is a bunch of info abt her!!! likes n rbs r appreciated n i hope u enjoy my little scrimblo ^^ sumeru deserves a hijabi chara
combat, talents, abilities
-        hydro staff (polearm + orb catalyst fusion) called “oasis”; other characters with this weapon primarily use it as a polearm, and only certain sumeru scholars know how to infuse the catalyst part into it to inflict the wet status
-        ^ base atk 43 at lvl 1/passive increases crit dmg by 22%. ability is called “deserted dream”: user’s elemental res. doubles (chances are 35%; increases with refinement rank), also increasing it for other party members by 75% (if 35% fails, this is guaranteed for the user; otherwise, this just applies to the other party members) for 20s. cooldown is 30s.
-        physical dps + enabling
-        charged attack has her stick the staff in the ground, jump up, and literally swing around it via the staff’s orb while physically kicking people; cause yk, why not?
-        normal attack has her (1) forward lunge (2) swipe arm, whacking w/ floating catalyst (3) spin in a 315 or smth, again whacking w catalyst (4) hold polearm upside down and use floating catalyst to vault upwards (5) bada bing bada boom use the staff as a hammer
-        holding the charged attack for over three seconds has her doing a plunging attack, using up abt 50% of her stamina but dealing 150% dmg
       wouldn’t it be funny if she rolled around on her staff while using it as a scooter
-        her skill “rainlight” summons small stars to fall down on opponents, dealing AoE hydro dmg and applying the wet status as the catalyst on amika’s staff glows to life. hp restored from the stars scales off amika’s elemental resonance. if combined with opponents affected by cryo or pyro, stars deal an additional 20% dmg at lvl 1 (70% when talent is maxed out), while electro opponents share damage taken every 2s. skill lasts for 15s/cd is 20s.
-        her burst “no longer luminous” has amika unlocking the catalyst from her staff, throwing it up in the air, and whacking it with her polearm baseball-style, summoning a giant black hole that pulls in nearby opponents and renders them immobile, dealing physical dmg over time. those that aren’t pulled in are affected by massive AoE hydro dmg, and any other elements that combine with the black hole deal an additional 25% in elemental dmg. requires 70 energy/cd is 18s.
-        her passive “all by myself!” reduces expedition time by 25%
-        constellation: stella stilanus
-        special dish is from jelebis: she turns them into heart and star shapes, adds powdered sugar at random, and puts a few tiny multicolored roshmalai around the plate. now restores 34% hp and an additional 700 hp every 5s!
lore
-        amika was the granddaughter of great sage azar. his prodigious son had died and his daughter-in-law had disappeared, leaving him with a little girl at the gates of the akademiya. instead of treating her like an actual child, he had tried to raise her as the future great sage to take over his job after he died.
-        ... unfortunately for him, amika hated sitting still and kept breaking her akasha earpiece. seeing as her mother was from aaru village, azar had determined that this was why she was so... unruly. he'd have to quench that in order for her to truly take over his great work.
-        and in amika's opinion, it was as if she'd been damned to eternity. look, she TRIED enrolling in the akademiya, okay? it was just so... suffocating. nobody tried reaching out for help unless they wanted to be seen as weak. nobody attempted to get close to her with good intentions. nobody wanted to rebel against the ridiculous hierarchy based on pure nonsense. anyone that tried releasing themselves from this barrier would be exiled. amika wondered if she, too, would become as unloving as the scholars were. not that she loved anything, but living out of spite wasn't nice.
-        for a bunch of smart folks, the scholars at the akademiya sure were stupid.
-        she tried bringing it up with her grandfather with limited success, if any at all. he decided that instead of promoting her to great sage, he'd denounce her on the day of the jnagarbah. it was a solid punishment for the traitor he'd failed at raising.
-        amika overheard him talking about this plan with the other sages. she should have figured this would happen eventually. with a heavy heart and days of secretly packing and planning, jnagarbah day came.
-        the second azar came into her room to "crown her as the next sage", she'd already escaped. she carried a large bag on her person, the only contents being an orb and a boatload of sunsettias. quite a terrible pick, honestly, but she was a bit short on time.
-        with that, the ex-next sage had left sumeru city.
-        amika ran to the desert. knowing those dumb sages, they wouldn't dare set foot outside of sumeru city or even port ormos. it seemed like the perfect plan. she'd be all alone.
-        ... oh. she was alone.
-        this was a problem.
-        after three days of walking aimlessly and rationing her food to the best of her ability, she sat in the sand and weighed her options. should she go back and endure the sage's puppetry just like always? should she be left to die here? which would be less punishing? wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone found her dead in the sand?
-        before she could reach a conclusion to her whirlwind of thoughts, a foot nudged her knee. she looked up to see a blond man with elaborate clothing, who reached out a hand to her and scowled.
-        "you look like you're going to die out here. come on, i've got food."
-        it did seem like a good deal (especially considering how bad a newborn adventurer is at rationing). with only a nod, she accepted his offer. they went back to his camp and amika resolved to only stay there for the night. she wouldn't want to be a bother after all.
-        the blond man's name was kaveh. he'd been taking a break from studying in the akademiya in order to pursue his own interests, craft, trade, the works. amika found him being in the middle of the desert to be quite strange, but she figured to each their own. despite her self-promise to stay the night, she'd end up sticking around for over half a year as she learned the joy of having something to love. sketching.
-        she'd draw on the back of maps, within scrapped architectural designs, between the page margins of textbooks. every surface she could find would be covered in doodles, whether simple smiley faces or intricate patterns. it became a habit of kaveh's to lend her any design he was having trouble with to see what she could add to his half-baked ideas.
-        being a master blacksmith (his words, not hers) and possessing a vision, he also taught amika to fight. first with the orb catalyst she'd brought with her, then with a long steel beam he'd forged a polearm out of. as reward for mastering both, he'd fused her catalyst and polearm together, turning it into a staff that doubled as what the modern age would call a slingshot-shaped baseball bat. she adored it, carving both of their names into the staff with a sharp rock she'd found nearby. kaveh may have called it defamation, but she'd keep it as a memory for years to come.
-        when kaveh announced that his research was done and that he'd start heading back to the akademiya, amika was noticeably taken aback at first. "why go back?" she had asked, her eyes narrowed. "it's nothing more than a land doomed by the god that left them."
-        kaveh sighed. "like i said, my research is done. plus," he added with a smile, "i'd say you're just about ready." with that, he left in the morning.
-        a month after he'd left for sumeru city, amika had adjusted well to living on her own. she could ration her supplies like a seasoned adventurer, hunt and forage for food easily, and even set up a camp and cook. in her opinion, she may as well have been a veteran with how skilled she had become.
-        that didn't mean it stopped being lonely, though.
-        with kaveh gone, amika had gone back to being quieter. she didn't want to go back to sumeru city, that'd only cause bad memories to resurface. her problem out here was that there wasn't anyone to talk to in particular aside from the wind. not like it'd say anything back. she had a hydro vision, not an anemo one. from the stories she'd heard about their archon, he seemed like a fun guy to hang around. perhaps he'd be a nice companion. yet with each new day passing by of being around nobody whatsoever, it was definitely starting to take a toll on her.
-        and so, she asked the wind. whether out of desperation, exasperation, or the sheer lack of having affection, she'd never be able to tell. either way, the wind decided it was going to kick up a breeze, carry the petals of a sumeru rose with it and send the girl chasing after the petals.
-        sumeru roses were rare around here... that had to be a sign, right?
-        laying her staff orb-down,she kicked it and planted her foot onto the side of the staff, steering the uniscooter through the desert and turning the sand she was riding on into dust. for periods of time, she'd switch between riding her staff and slinging it over her shoulder, running after the wind for a glimpse of something, anything, really.
-        nightfall came before she managed to catch up to the petals in a secluded tropical grove of sorts. hopping off her staff, she reached for the petals and grabbed a fistful of them, save for a single vibrant violet one that waltzed in the air before landing softly on the head of a boy seeming to be around her age slumbering against the base of a tree.
-        he looked like a porcelain doll. amika thought he was almost ethereal for a guy that looked totally out of place in a land like sumeru. sharp eyes, delicate facial features, dark hair that looked as soft as feathers. his clothes were of silk and another material amika couldn't recognize. next to him was a large disk with intricate details, almost brand new. she wondered if the dollface used it as a weapon. if it wasn't for his chest moving up and down rhythmically, she would have cursed the wind for leading her to a fragile corpse still frozen in time.
-        she approached hesitantly, crouching down as quietly as possible. extending a hand towards the boy, she plucked the petal from his head and sighed in relief... but as she turned to go back, a cold hand grabbed her wrist with lightning speed. her eyes darted back to the boy, whose eyelashes fluttered awake as his eyebrows furrowed.
-        "and what, may i ask," his voice was low, but clearly ticked off, "do you think you're doing?" the boy's eyes were almost like glass with how glazed over they seemed. a dull gray clouded them, almost lifeless.
-        she winced, but showed him the petal between her fingers. "easy there, dollface, i'm just grabbing a stray ingredient," she replied. "i'm making fish rolls for us." (she wasn't going to at first, but telling a stranger that she ran after a bunch of petals in the wind seemed really weird.)
-        "us?" he scoffed, but loosened his grip. amika pulled her hand back, rubbing at her now-red wrist. "you don't know me and i don't know you. how do i know you aren't here to kill me like everyone else?"
-        "i dunno who 'everyone else' is supposed to be, but to be quite frank with you, i'm just hungry." she stood up and scanned the landscape, her gaze landing upon an abandoned campsite. grinning, she rubbed her hands together and looked back at the boy at the tree, extending a hand out to him. "now get on your feet. you're going to help me cook over there."
-        "is that an order?"
-        "what am i, a god?" amika sighed, placing her other hand on her hip. "you're all skin and bones. i'm not letting you die of starvation out here."
-        he bit his lip, grumbling. "i don't need your pity--" he managed to get out before his stomach grumbled. after a beat or two, his shoulders slumped and he grabbed her wrist, letting her pull him up. "fine. your pity will be accepted just this once."
-        "it's not pity, pretty boy, it's just what feels right. plus," she added with a smirk, "any resistance will be met with the big circle thing over there turning into a plate." her smile widened at the look of abject horror on his face.
-        leading him to the campsite, she laid out their ingredients and started a fire underneath the pot. "what's your name, anyway?" she asked as she started chopping up the fish.
-        the boy, who had been put in charge of the rose petals, hummed softly. "i don't have one," he mumbled, his fingers brushing against the soft petals. "i'm just... a wanderer, i guess. they don't tend to have names."
-        "huh." a moment passed by. "i'm gonna call you 'dera'."
-        his gaze shifted to her, the wanderer's expression shifting to that of confusion. "you could have chosen anything else," he said, "and you land on that?"
-        she snickered in response. "okay, 'wandy'," she retorted.
-        "... on second thought, dera might be better."
-        within a half hour, they had made enough fish rolls to snack on. laying back against the tree, they sat in silence, the only sound coming from the gale breeze through the flora and the crunching of the rolls. swallowing one down, amika started to fiddle with the ribbons intertwining on her arm.
-        "so," she asked, "what are you doing here in the middle of nowhere?"
-        dera tilted his head, dull gray eyes locking with her own violet ones. "i could ask you the same thing," he said. despite there being nobody else around, he kept his voice quiet, soft. "you did ruin my nap, after all."
-        "please, you're just a light sleeper," amika retorted. "and like i said before, i lost the flower in the wind and had to get it back. then it led me to you." more fiddling, this time with the cuffs on her wrist. "your turn."
-        "like i said before, i'm a wanderer." he pinched the bridge of his nose at her blank expression. "hello? i'm a wanderer. i wander."
-        "ohhhh, that explains it."
-        he nodded, going back to staring at the landscape in front of him. "and via that wandering, i ended up here." his eyes closed, his blunt bangs shifting in the wind. "nobody around but me."
-        "and you've never, like..." the girl made some vague sort of gesture with her hands. "felt lonely or anything?"
-        the gray in his eyes darkened. "i don't experience useless emotions like that." he paused, resting a hand in the grass and grabbing a cluster in his hand. "rather," he added as an afterthought, "i'm not supposed to."
-        "it's okay if you do." she pulled a leg up to rest her head on her knee. "who said you couldn't?"
-        he looked away, but his grip on the grass cluster tightened. "that's not something for you to know."
-        ah, so there actually was someone. maybe someones. amika huffed, her fist balling up as her nails dug into her palm. "then they're as stupid and brain-dead as the akademiya scholars and sages."
-        "you don't seem to like them very much," dera remarked, the corner of his mouth quirking up in a half-amused, half-curious grin of sorts. letting go of the grass, he rested his hand on his thigh and started drumming his fingers absentmindedly.
-        she shrugged and sighed. "yeah, well..." her eyes lowered, her smile now bittersweet. "sometimes you're both not enough and too much at the same time for everyone you meet, y'know?"
-        dera's expression changed. "yeah," he breathed, "i do." without a word, he reached out and gently patted amika's shoulder, soothing both her and himself to an extent he'd rather not talk about. they stayed like that for a few minutes before he pulled the hood of her cloak over her face.
-        "get some rest," he muttered. "i'll gather the supplies. we leave in the morning."
-        "we?" a groggy amika raised her cloak hood just enough to make out his chin. "does this mean we're friends now?"
-        his nose scrunched up. "we aren't friends," he replied curtly. "we'll only travel together."
-        "this isn't a command, is it?"
-        a quick exhale from the wanderer. amika vaguely recognized it as some sort of laughter. "what am i, a god?" he said, then paused. he shook his head and raised the cloak's hood up just enough for her to see his face. his eyes looked more silver than gray. "it's an offer. one that an impulsive flower chaser like you will accept." he poked a finger into her forehead, eliciting her to suddenly tense from the lack of warmth.
-        "you don't know that," she grumbled, then added a "but you're not wrong" as she brushed his hand away, her scowl breaking into a smile as she pulled the hood back over her eyes. "goodnight, wanderer."
-        "goodnight, flower chaser."
-        and despite the wanderer's many vices against anyone he'd surrounded himself with before, he did have to admit it felt a little less lonely now.
-        maybe they could be less lonely together, at least.
voicelines
-        hello / hey, i'm amika. let's see what sort of adventure we can find ourselves today. don't worry, you have me with you.
-        chat: sketching / oh, this? it's just a hobby of mine, nothing more. even so... i do enjoy it a lot, haha. it gave me something to do, even if i sort of overdid it. maybe someday i'll be able to share my littles scribbles and doodles with the world. i'd like that.
-        chat: oasis staff / when kaveh first made me this, i didn't expect it to be as useful as it really is. see, if you turn it upside down and nudge the orb a fair bit, just step onto the sides here and use the pole here as a way to steer... voila! a transportation... thingy!
-        when it rains / the pitter-patter noise is so calming to listen to... ah, no, i can't fall asleep!-        after it rains / oh, great. mud. this is fine. i'm not hating this.
-        when it snows / oh, this is definitely gonna blind me when it starts getting sunny later.
-        when the wind is blowing / oh, this breeze feels so nice! a sandstorm might kick up soon, though, so let's find shelter.
-        good morning / up and at 'em, huh? that's the spirit! let's head out.
-        good afternoon / how long do you think it would take to glide from the tallest cliff in the desert all the way to the bottom? ...don't be silly, people don't die from gliding for too long! i think.
-        good evening / the sky looks so pretty... i hope i get to see thousands of sunsets for as long as i'm alive.
-        good night / you did well today. make sure you don't stay up for too long, alright? get some rest.
-        about wanderer… / i'm proud to say that he and i are best buds! the longer you spend time with him, the more you come to realize that his snark and teasing are all with good intentions, even if he'll try to cover it up with some lame excuse. what a softie.
-        about kaveh… / kaveh's a pro at what he does. i have to thank him for taking me in and teaching me a bunch of stuff, like architecture and fighting and all that stuff. i wonder if he'll accept some padisarahs as a thank-you gift.
-        about al-haitham… / he doesn't look like it, but he's caused a fair bit of trouble for the sages. i envy his annoyance skills. when kaveh talks about him, he always talks like he's al-haitham's bitter housewife, haha.
-        about lisa… / the mondstadt mage, right? i caught a glimpse of her in an old photo when i was a kid. you could tell she still had a spark of something still left in her unlike the sages that are around today. maybe that's why she left.
-        about cyno… / the general mahamatra--wait, no, i think it's former--anyways, he interests me. i was always told the children of the desert were people to be avoided, but... i don't know if that applies to him. bad guys aren't punny.
-        about kazuha… / a lone samurai wandering through the islands of the land of thunder, with nothing but the animals, the water, and the breeze to accompany him. that's what a former scholar of the akademiya described him as. it paints such a vivid image in my head... for some reason, dera comes to mind, too. in a way, they seem a bit similar. i can't quite explain the connection, though.
- about tighnari... / despite his calm demeanor, he can get quite flustered if you touch his tail or ears, which is always why he tends to avoid it unless completely necessary... wait, he offered to lend you his tail?! when i did that, he scolded me for ages... man, i'm so jealous.
-        about us: camping / beyond anything else, an adventurer should know how to set up camp! it says so in the little handbook i got from miss katheryne!
-        about us: aranara / i've heard of the little lettuce hat creatures, but i've never been able to see them in person. the only visual source of information i trust is the picture books about them. if i squeezed one, would it squeak?
-        about the vision / from what i know about the visions, certain visions are assigned to those who embody the trait criteria that the archons stand for. the hydro archon is all about justice, which should mean i have some sort of sense of justice. i don't think my spite qualifies as justice, though. her reasoning will always remain unknown to me.
-        something to share / sometimes, i think about whether the great sage really saw me as a child or not. maybe i never meant anything more to him than a means to achieve immortality in spirit. does he regret his actions? i don't know and i don't intend on ever knowing. he's only my grandfather in blood.
-        interesting things: dreaming / most people in sumeru don't dream, save for the few that have faint flashes of them. ever since i broke my akasha terminal when i was six, i've been able to dream vividly, remembering everything that happens in them. some are good, some are bad, some are mundane little things. i try to enjoy every little one i can.
-        interesting things: dunyarzad / whenever i went on errands, i'd always see a beautiful girl gaze out her window. if neither of us were being monitored, we'd wave to each other and even have a quick conversation when we had the time. may she find happiness wherever she goes.
-        more about amika: I / i heard from someone still in sumeru city that after i ditched the sages, wanted posters were put up on the boards of port ormos and sumeru city. there wasn't a reward though, which might be why i haven't ran into someone interested in a reward.
-        more about amika: II / the sages are all corrupted beyond relief. their pursuit of knowledge caused the akademiya hierarchy to be born, which gave people with "more intellectual capability" enough leeway to straight-up harass others they don't deem as prodigious as them. people like that disgust me.
-        more about amika: III / the akademiya is a privilege nobody deserves. scholars should be encouraging towards their peers, not belittling them at any chance they get. i just wanted the opportunity to be recognized for my own achievements without someone else tying it to the sages, and yet... perhaps the dendro archon just doesn't favor me as much as the others.
-        more about amika: IV / if there's anything that always bothered me, it was how the scholars treated the desert people. condescendingly and mockingly, like they were idiots. i found out from the great sage that my mother had been from the desert as well. he spoke of her with nothing but venom in his voice. had the scholars found out i'm half-desertrian, would the harsh treatment and isolation i faced in the akademiya have changed?
-        more about amika: V / i think wandering with dera has really given me peace of mind. you know that feeling you get when someone you seem to have nothing in common with ends up sharing the pain you have, even if how that pain affects them isn't the same as you? it's like that with us, which might be why we're such good friends. i'm not enough and too much and perfect the way i am. i hope you find someone that lets you feel like that, too. take your time, traveller.
-        amika’s hobbies / i make a note to sketch anything i think i won't remember. i'd like to keep a memory as accurate as possible, but i'm not interested in being close to a perfectionist. besides, the whole point of a hobby is to be able to enjoy it.
-        amika’s troubles / hey, traveller, have you been to sumeru recently? has it changed at all since i left? i've been wanting to go back, but everytime i even think about, i end up panicking and my entire mind and body just shuts down on me. it's like i'm sick or something and i just... hate it, i hate it so much. i'm supposed to be okay, but it's like all my senses get so overwhelmed that i'm paralyzed... whatever this is, i hope it stops soon.
-        favourite food / the more flavor food has, the better it tastes. not to an overwhelming point, of course. it's best when the flavors balance each other out well enough so that you're able to enjoy each and every difference.
-        least favourite food / bland food is the worst taste ever, if mainly for the fact that there is no taste to begin with. rice is a prime example of this, since it's only tasty if you add something like curry or soup to it. what's the point in enjoying food if there's nothing to enjoy?
-        receiving a gift: I / everything's melting in my mouth... i could die happy!
-        receiving a gift: II / ooh, this isn't bad! i've gotta have this more often.
-        receiving a gift: III / oh, you shouldn't have... really, haha...
-        birthday / hey, hey, happy birthday! as a gift, i've prepared a special art piece of you. despite how ordinary it may look, there's a catch: it's made entirely out of flower petals! pretty amazing, huh? let's make sure next year's birthday is even better than this one, alright? only the best for the birthday traveller!
-        feelings about ascension: intro / i'm getting a major adrenaline rush!
-        feelings about ascension: building up / ooh, it's all tingly and stuff. like chills, but in a good way.
-        feelings about ascension: climax / if i jumped off a cliff before, i'd die immediately. but now... well, i'd probably still die, but the chances of me surviving are there now!
-        feelings about ascension: conclusion / maybe this is the closest i'll ever get to perfection. for once, i don't really mind it. if i can use this strength for something good, i'm willing to stay like this.

Mdzs but WWX doesn’t die and is there as Jin Ling grows up with his parents and his uncles
Alright so WWX actually gets to celebrate Jin Ling’s one month celebration with his family
Brought him a spicy pepper or something because we all know that that’s how one accepts another into their family Yunmeng style
Jiang Cheng and him start fighting because babies can’t have spices until they’rs six months (Always gotta have a fight in a family reunion, you know how it goes)
Baby Jin Ling won’t go to sleep until Uncle Xianxian plays a little flute song just for him (absolutely spoiled rotten, this baby is) (WWX doesn’t mind spoiling him)
Once Jin Ling can actually have spicy foods you Know that wwx is cooking up a motherfucking call-the-ambulance lava melting meal for initiation
Jin Ling’s crying but is a stubborn boy who will eat every drop of this poison to assert dominance
After the meal is finished, the rest of the family members are dying while rinsing their mouths out
Meanwhile Wwx is holding Jin Ling like he’s the baby Messiah
“THIS IS MY NEPHEW” “THE BLOOD OF YUNMENG RUNS THROUGH HIM” “THIS IS MY NEPHEW”
Wwx keeps cooking and Jin Ling actually develops his level of spiciness
Wwx starts teaching Jin Ling how to destroy kitchens and people’s mouths cook and now they’re both disasters in the kitchen who can make food that will kill a man
WWX teaches Jin Ling some sick flute solos that he can now perform like it’s nothing
However, the best and most incredible thing Jin Ling has learned from both Wwx and JC, is how to swear
The first incident happens when Jin Ling is four
It’s a nice day, disciples are playing with the younger children, parents are setting up picnics on patches of grass, a gentle breeze is blowing through, filling everyone with peace
Then, like a discordant note swinging through the air, a resounding “FUCK” is heard
Everyone whips their heads around
Little Jin Ling is trotting at very fast speeds towards his two uncles, looking as though he had been treated with utmost discourtesy and unfairness, drenched in water
His face is red with anger and wwx and jc ask him what’s wrong
“The mudafucking wind threw me into the damn lake”
There is silence
Then, wordlessly, JC and WWX look to each other
And they can’t help it
Wwx “Pfft” is all it takes to send the both of them wheezing
Then they pick Jin Ling up, tears of laughter still steaming down their faces, as they go to fight the wind
Flash forward a couple of years
Jin Ling has become a master archer (Gotta thank Uncle Wen Ning for the lessons) and an amazing sword fighter
However, having been raised by two dramatic ass uncles, he is also a Drama Queen
And when Wwx starts showing signs that he’s got a fuckin big crush of Lwj, that’s when Jin Ling is like “Alright Showtime Motherfucker”
At this point, he knows for a fact that lwj is also helplessly in love (Jin Ling is repeatedly exasperated and annoyed at how dumb two of the smartest people can be. Like seriously. It was embarrassing to watch)
So he gathers all of the Lan disciples and recruits them into the “Getting my dumbass uncle his soulmate because he won’t stop whining about it over dinner and I am this close to snapping his neck” Team
With the crew together, they put together what might be the most extra plan to get two people together (including fake investigations)
With Jin Ling, Lan Jingyi, Lan Sizhui, and Ouyang Zizhen at the helm of the ship, they somehow execute the dumbest and most idiotic plan in the history of plans and make it work
Then, after months of preparation and build up, the day arrives
They send out a distress signal
Wwx and lwj enter a dark forest clearing
Hidden in the trees, the juniors are making hand signals at each other
From the darkness, thousands of lanterns float up into the sky (They spent two entire sleepless nights making them and transporting them here)
Beautiful white birds gently drift through the night sky
Flower petals seem to fall from nowhere (Are actually being thrown by frantic juniors who are so worried about making the plan go wrong if they don’t perfectly toss them)
Not a single cloud is in the sky, as the moonlight perfectly lights up the area (The Juniors swore to slice every cloud in half if it came to it and Heaven wasn’t bout to test them)
BUT since they forgot they lured them here with a DISTRESS CALL, wwx and lwj are stressing out about where the ducklings are and their safety and what type of creature was doing this and-
“HOLY FUCK JUST KISS ALREADY” Jingyi shouts from his spot in the tree
Similar shouts echo from the the forest as lwj and wwx finally understand the situation
Bada bing bada boom PG confession time
By the time they kiss a lot of juniors are rolling their eyes or gagging because “ew, kissing”
After the kiss, Jin Ling descends from a tree like a God, flute in hand, as he begins celebrating their win with the most epic fucking flute solo the world has or will ever hear

Pairing: platonic!sbi x winged!sibling!reader
Warnings: near death experiences, mentions of depression, OOC sbi (this is my first time writing about them)
Summary: Philza finds out about your little “habit”
Word count: 1,962
You grinned as you flew through the air with your feathers glinting in the low sunlight. You absolutely loved the feeling of freedom you got whenever you flew. It always gave you a sense of calm when you needed a break from your family. You loved them of course, but you needed a break once and a while; you often felt drained if you didn’t take some time to yourself. The cold air rushed past you as you continued to flap your wings to keep you in the air. 
You could not see the ground below you as you soared higher into the clouds, weaving in and out of them. Flying higher, you steadied yourself to look at the sunset. The mixture of pinks, oranges, and yellows blended together perfectly. You always loved the sunset, it was one of the only consistent things in your life. You wished that you could stay hovering hundreds of feet above the ground, but mobs were going to be spawning soon. The last time you stayed out past sunset you had almost gotten killed by a skeleton. Your dad had given you quite the lecture after he made sure that you were alright. You still had the scars on your arms from when it tried to shoot you out of the air.
You angled yourself so you were upside down, put your arms tight to your sides, and extended your wings fully behind you. You dove closer and closer to the earth, quickly picking up speed. The wind whipped around you as you gained velocity, getting closer and closer to the ground by the millisecond. At the last second, you fully extended your wings and drastically slowed your descent to the ground. The extra velocity you had made you soar up once again before you regained control and landed safely on the ground. The adrenaline that the skydive gave you was the most exhilarating feeling you’ve ever felt, and you were always craving it. Your dad didn’t find it as fun or exhilarating as you did.
“(Y/N) (M/N) MINECRAFT.”
Your father’s voice boomed from behind you. You could tell that he was in a lecturing mood without even having to look at him. He grabbed your arm and spun you around. Grabbing your other arm, he looked you up and down with worried blue eyes. After seeing that you were alright, his gaze hardened and he took a deep breath.
“Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?”
He rattled on and on about how you could’ve killed yourself, but quite frankly you didn’t care if you died or got hurt. In your opinion, the adrenaline you got was worth it. You had three lives you could spend, and if you did die, you wanted to go out with a bang all three times. What could you say? You were an adrenaline junkie through and through. 
He started to drag you inside the house mid lecture. Swinging open the door, he pulled you towards the kitchen, where the scent of fresh mushroom stew wafted from the pot on the stove. Your brothers looked at you each with their own different reactions. Techno looked as stoic as ever, Wilbur eyed you with slight disapproval, and Tommy looked at you with awe and excitement. They must’ve seen your little trick through the window. 
“(Y/N) THAT WAS POGGERS! YOU WERE SUCH A BADA-”
Tommy’s excited rant was cut short as he saw the stern look on Philza’s face. After a few moments of hesitation, your brothers were making small talk with each other with Philza occasionally chiming in. Poking idly at your food, you contemplated how you should go about apologizing to your dad. 
You supposed that the best route you could go was telling him that you wouldn’t do that again, but you knew you would do it again. That was the biggest adrenaline rush you’ve ever gotten and you were already craving it again. You couldn’t lie to your dad, your wings always gave you away by twitching uncomfortably whenever you lied. On the other hand, telling him that you felt empty when you didn’t have adrenaline coursing through your veins was not an option. He already has enough to worry about with working to provide for four teenagers. Deciding that your best bet was to lie to him and hope for the best, you zoned back into the conversation around you. Tommy was ranting about how he had broken his favorite sword dueling Techno.
“-do you have any idea how long it took me to find that enchantment, Techno?”
Techno huffed slightly in amusement. “Actually I do because I helped you find that enchantment. We found it in the village together, remember?”
“Tommy,” Philza said tiredly, “we can get you another enchanted sword. Techno, you need to be more gentle with your little brother. You have to remember he’s three years younger than you, so he has less experience in dueling.”
Tommy grumbled to himself, busying himself with shoveling food in his mouth. Wilbur glanced at him with disgust.
“Do you have to eat like that, Tommy? It’s disgusting.”
“Well, Wilbur, it’s not my fault I’m hungry.”
“You’re eating like we don’t feed you.”
You usually enjoyed it whenever your siblings argue back and forth like this, but lately it didn’t make you feel anything. You didn’t feel much anymore if you weren’t pulling off impulsive stunts. Of course, you hid it from your family and acted like you did before. It was relatively easy since you were naturally a quiet person. You thought you were doing a great job at it, you pride yourself on your acting skills.
Dinner went by fast without anything notable happening. Since it was your night to clean up, you got to work after everyone parted ways for the night. You stacked the dishes left on the dinner table and got to work washing them. Luckily, since you lived with three teenage boys, you never had to deal with leftovers. You subconsciously stretched and twitched your wings, feeling restless without feeling the wind moving through your feathers. After you got done with putting the dishes away, you took a deep breath and set out on your search for Philza. 
Walking into the living room, you saw Techno sitting near the fireplace reading one of his mythology books. “Hey, Tech. Do you know where Dad is? I need to talk to him.”
Without looking up from his book, he responded in his usual monotone voice. “Yeah, he’s up in his room. I think he’s going to bed early.” He paused for a second before looking up at you with sincerity. “You know, he was terrified when he saw you earlier. He thought that you weren’t gonna stop yourself in time. Hell, we all thought you were gonna die.”
That made you feel guilty. He already had to deal with providing and raising you four and he didn’t need anything else to worry about. You felt your wings droop slightly as you sighed. 
“...Thanks, T. G’night, love you.”
You started to speed walk to Philza’s room without giving him time to respond. You needed to apologize to him and fast. Out of all your siblings, you were always the one to hate conflict and would always apologize first whenever you got into a disagreement with anyone. You were always the pacifist. 
Walking past Tommy in the hallway, he tried to stop you to talk to you, but you ignored him with a dismissive wave of your wing. You heard him mumbling to himself as he started to walk down the stairs, probably to challenge Techno to a rematch. You nervously fluttered your wings, feathers occasionally brushing against the walls and causing you to shiver slightly at the small touch. Your hands were shaking slightly as you took a steadying deep breath and knocked on Philza’s door. Hearing his tired “come in”, you slowly opened his door. He situated himself so that he was sitting on the edge of his bed and gestured for you to sit next to him.
“Hey, Dad. I-I just wanted to say sorry for worrying you earlier. If I knew that it would stress you out, I wouldn’t have done it.” You sat next to him.
He sighed as he wrapped an arm across your shoulders, pulling you into his side. “I don’t care if it stressed me out. You could’ve gotten killed from a fall at that height. You could have lost a life. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you didn’t open your wings in time.”
“I know, I’m sorry.”
“Then why’d you do it if you knew that you could’ve gotten yourself killed? I just want to understand why you would pull a stunt like that, I’d never expect you out of all of your siblings to do something so dangerous.”
You took a deep breath as you contemplated your next words. You really wanted to tell him about how you felt empty without putting yourself in danger. You wanted to tell him that you didn’t feel like yourself anymore. Unconsciously, your wings started to twitch and pull themselves closer to your body. 
You jumped when you felt something else wrap around you. You looked back and saw black feathers. Looking back up at your father, he looked at you with a concerned expression. 
“Take a deep breath, you’re shaking hun.”
You looked down at your hands and to your surprise, they were shaking. You took a few deep breaths and clasped your hands together tightly while Philza rubbed comforting circles on your back. 
“...It’s just that, I haven’t been feeling like myself lately, if that makes any sense. It’s like I can’t feel anything anymore without doing stupid things that could get me killed. It wasn’t the first time I’ve dived like that. One time I lost control and almost flew into lava-filled ravine.”
“...How long have you felt like this?”
“A few months now.”
Philza felt his heart break, how did he not notice that you were different for months? You could’ve gotten yourself hurt or permanently maimed yourself and it would’ve been his fault because he didn’t notice your mood shift. 
“I’m so sorry I didn’t notice sooner.”
“It’s not your fault, Dad. I didn’t tell you anything was wrong. Please don’t blame yourself.”
“We can help you find something that’ll help you. Something less dangerous.”
“We?”
“Your brothers and I. They’ve been listening this entire time, weren’t you, boys?”
You heard shuffling and muffled voices arguing with each other before the door opened to reveal your sheepish brothers. Wordlessly, they all filed into the room. Tommy grabbed your shoulders and yanked you into a tight hug. You felt Wilbur hug your other side before he pulled Techno into the group hug also. You felt feathers tickle your cheek as Philza joined, wrapping his giant wings around you all. The family hasn’t had a group hug since you all started to hit your teenage years. For the first time in a while, you felt happy without risking your life.
After that night, you were right in your assumption that you’d be grounded (literally and metaphorically) from flying for a while while your family worked hard to find something safe that gave you a distraction. Soon, Wilbur found a book about the intricacies of redstone working and you were hooked. Sure, your family was rambunctious and a strange group, but you wouldn’t want it any other way.

Tumblr media
Gilbert likes thigh high socks. He likes normal lingerie, but he really has a thing for the... casual slut look. So he likes super cropped sweatshirts, thigh high socks, and cheeky panties. He also likes fishnet stockings.
He likes half-clothed sex. Idk why, he just likes articles of clothing that you can push up and out of the way (i.e skirts) or move to the side. All the clothes eventually come off, he isn't one for quickies and they kinda start to get in the way.
He likes being the one in control, and often as a figure of authority. He likes being called: Master, Sir, and Daddy. Whichever floats your boat.
Has a large collection of riding crops, paddles, and whips. Will let you choose which one you want to be spanked with.
He says the soft, mushy things in German (if you don't speak it). It feels good to get it out, but also waaaaay less embarrassing than actually having to you know... say it. If you ever say I love you during sex, he nuts. Immediately.
Tumblr media
Romano is a very passionate partner. You think it would calm down after he gets into the swing of a relationship, but it doesn't.
Can seemingly go forever, he just needs like... 10 minutes to recooperate after each round and then he's good to go.
Don't say bada-bing bada-boom in the bedroom at all. Because bada-bing bada-boom he's no longer in the mood.
He likes to play house, he wants to see how many surfaces, walls, and pieces of furniture he can fuck you on
He says all kinds of things in Italian, whether you speak it or not. If you ask what he's saying, he'll tell you. He isn't ashamed, it just comes more naturally in Italian. And he thinks it sounds better.
Tumblr media
Tony likes role-play outfits, but he isn't very good at staying in character. He likes the innocent looking ones best, like a bunny or kitty.
Has a corruption kink. He likes helping you explore all of your naughtiest kinks and fantasises, and then wants to introduce you to naughtier ones
He will spank you. He spanks a bratty sub for punishment. But he's not a total dom. He's a switch and is happy in either the role of dom or sub. If he's subbing he fully expects to get spanked if he's being difficult.
Call him papi

EBTKS snippet
"And you want us to go to a wedding together?" he cries, swinging in his chair to gape at Beatrice.
Surely she'll see the error in her plan now. Surely.
But Beatrice only pulls the Robert De Niro face, lips pressed together and slanted, shoulders hunching in a shrug. Bada bing, bada boom, whaddya gonna do? "Yeah."
"And you're not angrier about this?" he asks Lily, whipping back around.
Lily almost, but not quite, mirrors the Robert De Niro face. "Not really."
"When you came in here screaming your head off just half an hour ago?"
"I did, and then you explained yourself, so I listened, foreign as the concept must be to you," she points out. It's a particularly well-placed barb that must feel incredibly satisfying for her, given their horrific reunion yesterday afternoon. "And why are you upset about my attitude? You got off the hook here. Do you want me to stay pissed off?"

Bestie,,, please explain about fixing season 8 with mpreg dean,,, I am Intrigued
Ok so. This will make a lot more sense if y’all have seen wynonna Earp but. Deans motive in s8 is to End It All, right? Like his logic is seal up hell -> mop up the rest of the demons on earth -> bada bing bada boom no more problems. Only like. That doesn’t really track? Necessarily? Like dean keeps repeating it’ll be over it’ll be over but like. What’s over. Their hunting careers? The leftovers of the apocalypse?? The endless cycle of grief and loss and misery Sam and dean find themselves trapped in????? Like the reason s8 is so weak for me is partially BECAUSE deans motives are so vague and undefined.
Now before I explain this next bit I need to explain a plot point from wynonna Earp s2. So like. Wynonna Earp is cursed. With the Earp Curse. Which I am not going to explain but basically it passes down through the blood. Wynonna inherited it from her dad when he failed to lift it before he died. That’s like. The premise of the show. And in s2, wynonna gets pregnant for reasons. And like. Before she got pregnant, wynonna didn’t really give that much of a shit about the curse. Like she was just sort of playing along. She never really got into BREAKING the curse because at first she didn’t really give a shit but then as the show progressed she’s like. Invested part of her identity in BEING cursed. She’s the fucking Earp heir!! Watch out bitches!!
Only now she’s pregnant. And she’s suddenly facing the distinct and very real possibility that if she DOESNT break the curse, she’s gonna pass it on to her baby. And like. She didn’t WANT a baby, not really, but she can’t do that. The curse is ending with her, one way or another. So like. In s2 after wynonna gets pregnant shit gets down to the WIRE. she gets desperate! She’s doing everything within her power to break the curse and save her baby!! She’s going up against insanely powerful monsters while NINE MONTHS PREGNANT because she’s THAT dedicated to giving her kid a better life than what she had!!!
So like. Take that knowledge and think abt s8 dean. Like. In a way the winchesters are cursed. They’re the main characters. The plot is ALWAYS happening to them. And honestly? Dean was mostly fine with it. Like sure, he’s miserable, but he’s long past the point where he’s started to define himself as the Righteous Man, Saver Of The World. Dean on his own would happily go on being a miserable victim of the plot for the rest of his life, because he derives meaning and identity from it.
But now he’s pregnant. And he’s suddenly facing the very real and distinct possibility of bringing a baby into a world where he’s got beef with every evil thing under the sun. His baby is gonna be the grand prize for every demon that manages to worm its way topside. And on top of that, deans bringing a baby into HIS life. Where dean is desperately unhappy and trapped in a constant cycle of death and loss and grief. Where dean just has terrible thing after terrible thing happen to him. And suddenly, he isn’t content to let himself be victimized by his own plot relevancy. The curse has to end. For the sake of his baby.
So NOW dean has a lil fire under the belly, so to speak. He’s gonna do anything and everything in his power to make the world a better place for his baby. He’s getting Out, he’s seriously kicking around the idea of retiring, and he ain’t about to leave his enemies to live another day and come back swinging when he’s vulnerable. And sure, monsters aren’t exactly friendly, but deans most dangerous enemies have always been demons. And so. He’s gonna close the gates of hell. Might even close the gates of heaven, while he’s at it. He’s gonna do anything and everything to make sure that this baby has it better than he ever did.
So like. Deans taking on monsters right up until his due date. He’s running himself ragged. He’s running everyone around him ragged. He ain’t stopping until hell is closed and heaven is locked up and he’s gonna do it fast, because he’s on a time limit. Aint no way in hell he’s waiting to finish this thing until after the baby comes. And so. The curse ends here. One way or another.
The other thing that happens at the end of s2 of wynonna Earp is she actually ends up sending her baby away. And I think dean would do the same thing. Like it would kill him on the inside, but he would think about all the people that want him dead, and he’d think about how it was growing up with John dragging him and Sam around, and he’d be like. I have to give my baby up. It’s the best thing I can possibly do for it. Anyways I’m literally begging u all to stream wynonna Earp just so u can see the scene right after wynonna gives birth and is holding her baby and she’s like. Full on sobbing while saying I don’t wanna do it. Please don’t make me do it. While her sister is like. Wynonna we have to get the baby out of here. Literal TEARS in my EYES. And thinking abt dean doing the exact same thing has me on the edge of a mental breakdown

that moment when you're listening to pitbull and suddenlyUsher, don't lie
Hear no evil, or speak no evil, or see no evil
Get it baby? Hope you catch that like T-O
That's how we roll, my life is a movie, and you just TIVO
Mami got me twisted' like a dreadlock
She don't wrestle but I got her in a headlock
Yabadabadoo make her bedrock mami on fire, (psh) red hots
Bada bing bada boom Mr. Worldwide as I step in the room
I'm a hustler baby, but that you knew, and tonight it's just me and you
Why you think they call me Mr. Worldwide?
Let's show 'em why they call me Mr. Worldwide
Why you think they call me Mr. Worldwide?
Let's show 'em why they call me Mr. Worldwide
Hold up!... Cause bitch I'm worldwide
I-I-I-I'm involved in the music business
But the funny thing is, half of these fools
Don't know music, don't know business
Have no business in music, what is this?
I learned from the best, stayed away from the worst
Now I send off every verse in a hearse
Now the every day is 15th and the 1st
No more food stamps - church
These boys can't get past (3rd Bass)
Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane
Nah, it's just me, ain't a damn thing changed
Live in hotels, swing on plane
Blessed to say, money ain't a thing
Club jumping like Lebron, now, Voli
Order me another round, homie
We about to climb, wild, 'cause it's about to go down

info on amika haider (genshin oc, none of this is final!)
Tumblr media
combat, talents, abilities, weapon
-        hydro staff (polearm + orb catalyst fusion) called “Oasis”; other characters with this weapon primarily use it as a polearm, and only certain sumeru scholars know how to infuse the catalyst part into it to inflict the wet status
-        ^ base atk 43 at lvl 1/passive increases crit dmg by 22%. Ability is called “Deserted Dream”: user’s elemental res. Doubles (chances are 35%; increases with refinement rank), also increasing it for other party members by 75% (if 35% fails, this is guaranteed for the user; otherwise, this just applies to the other party members) for 20s. cooldown is 30s.
-        physical dps + enabling
-        charged attack has her stick the staff in the ground, jump up, and literally swing around it via the staff’s orb while physically kicking people; cause yk, why not?
-        normal attack has her (1) forward lunge (2) swipe arm, whacking w/ floating catalyst (3) spin in a 315 or smth, again whacking w catalyst (4) hold polearm upside down and use floating catalyst to vault upwards (5) bada bing bada boom use the staff as a hammer
-        holding the charged attack for over three seconds has her doing a plunging attack, using up abt 50% of her stamina but dealing 150% dmg
-        wouldn’t it be funny if she rolled around on her staff while using it as a scooter
-        her skill “Rainlight” summons small stars to fall down on opponents, dealing AoE hydro dmg and applying the wet status as the catalyst on amika’s staff glows to life. hp restored from the stars scales off amika’s elemental resonance. if combined with opponents affected by cryo or pyro, stars deal an additional 20% dmg at lvl 1 (70% when talent is maxed out), while electro opponents share damage taken every 2s. skill lasts for 15s/cd is 20s.
-        her burst “No Longer Luminous” has amika unlocking the catalyst from her staff, throwing it up in the air, and whacking it with her polearm baseball-style, summoning a giant black hole that pulls in nearby opponents and renders them immobile, dealing physical dmg over time. those that aren’t pulled in are affected by massive AoE hydro dmg, and any other elements that combine with the black hole deal an additional 25% in elemental dmg. requires 70 energy/cd is 18s.
-        her passive “All On My Own!” reduces expedition time by 25%
-        special dish is from jelebis: she turns them into heart and star shapes, adds powdered sugar at random, and puts a few tiny multicolored roshmalai around the plate. now restores 34% hp and an additional 700 hp every 5s!
 story
-        voice actors uhhh cassandra lee morris for english, tomori kusunoki for jp, we’ll figure out the chinese and korean ones later
-        granddaughter of the most famous & revered scholar in sumeru; she hates it
-        like yeah she loves her family but also! scholarly duties are horrendously boring to her!!
-        as a descendant of a famous scholar, it’s hard to keep up his reputation when you just aren’t the logical and studious type
-        plus yk other reasons that will be explained later
-        so,, she ran away. obviously, news would spread but at least she would finally get to enjoy life away from books and quills and ink
-        the haiders are still looking for their daughter and want her to return home
-        buuut nope! gonna keep exploring the world man sorry
-        eventually she gets put on a missing person list in sumeru
-        as it turns out, she’s the newest stowaway aboard the crux fleet!
-        beidou found amika after she tried stealing food off the ship :)
-        needless to say that failed and amika got her butt kicked
-        but then beidou was like “ u look like ur this close to dying kid are u okay ” and amika raises a thumbs up and passes out
-        next thing yk she wakes up and is now a part of beidou’s crew!! woo!!!
-        when the traveller n paimon are tryna make their way to sumeru they go on beidou’s ship again and the second amika hears that they’re going there she PANICS
-        “ ohhh sumeru huh?? sumeru. uh. yeah mhm sumeruuuu great amazing cool okay bYE ”
-        so now she’s hiding from the traveller (with kazuha’s help; he got dragged into it lmao)
-        now you get to explore the ship while looking for amika :]
-        when you do find her, she tries hiding again except kazuha refuses to help her “ dAMMIT KAZU NO PLEASE ”
-        so she explains that she doesn’t wanna go back to sumeru with the excuse that she’s wanted (technically she is) and begs the traveller not to tell anyone where she is
-        unfortunately,, paimon’s a blabbermouth!! dammit paimon
-        they find out abt amika and her family via a scholar that’s lower ranking in sumeru’s hierarchy, and seek her out on the crux fleet
-        when they find her, she reveals the actual reason she left home. to escape the hierarchy
-        “ people don’t respect each other. instead of uniting over a shared interest of knowledge, they outcast the weak and praise the strong over nothing. there’s no fairness whatsoever to it, and being praised for not even doing the bare minimum? well, that’s even worse. ”
-        pov you see an actually serious amika and it is jarring
-        so alongside the traveller and other sumeru characters, they basically destroy the government :)
-        after the archon quest is over, she goes back to travelling on the crux fleet as per usual, but she stops by home once in a while to tell her tales of travelling and to visit her family
voicelines
-        Hello (Formal) / Amika Haider, granddaughter of the revered Mikail Haider. Your presence is well-appreciated, honoured one. May the stars shine above you.
-        Hello (Informal): Hey! Amika here. If you ever need me, just say the word and I’ll be there… woahhh, that rhymed!
-        Chat: Drawing / I like sketching a lot. Used to doodle on all my paperwork, even though my tutor would get mad at me... but now that I’m on the Crux, I have more things to draw! Like… ooh, Yinxing looks really pretty right now. It’s decided, she’ll be my new muse!
-        Chat: Stories / When I wasn’t doing research or scholarly studies, I was permitted to write my own short little tales about whatever I wanted. They were all about the adventures I would go on when I was finally able to, and look! Here I am, finally having all those adventures. Maybe younger me was psychic or something?
-        When it Rains / Ahhh, I love this. All the pitter-pattering is… calming. The nice kind.
-        After it Rains / Hey, hey, look! There’s little rainbows in the puddles!
-        When it Snows / Coldcoldcoldcold… How does anyone function in this weather?!
-        Good Morning / Rise and shine! I’ve been up since around three in the morning. I know that’s probably a bit concerning, but on the ever-so-bright side, the sunrise was absolutely gorgeous! Next time, I’ll wake you up early to see it too!
-        Good Afternoon / What to do, what to do… ooh, what if we raced to see which one of us can stay gliding the longest? Wouldn’t that be so much fun? … what do you mean by “deadly” exactly?
-        Good Evening / Hey, hey, look up! Isn’t the sky just so pretty? All those colours mixed together and blended so they become one huge gradient up there… it makes me appreciate life even more now.
-        Good Night / I think today was really special. Well, all days are special, but this one too, y’know? Tomorrow’s gonna be special, too, and the day after that, and the day after that one, and… yeah, I’ll stop, I’m this close to passing out. Sweet dreams, honoured one.
-        About Beidou… / Beidou’s like a big sister or a cool aunt to me! Once I was having trouble with this one specific part while drawing the ship, and then Beidou came and told me all about the Crux so I could draw that one part and refine it so the whole drawing was even better! She and the rest of the crew take care of me… sometimes a bit too much, though that might be because of how much trouble I cause. But that’s okay, because they’re like a second family to me. Plus, who else would handle them when the adults all drank too much?
-         About Kazuha… / Kazuha is my best friend on the ship! He’s kind of quiet, but the second you try and approach him he spouts off poems and poems and poems! I think he’s really cool. Beidou says he’s a stowaway too, so I guess that’s why he tolerates me. He’s kind and patient, a bit guarded, but everyone has their secrets. He gets the bottom bunk of the cots while I get the top, and we share secret conversations in the middle of the night by writing on paper and using our Visions as night lights. For some reason, he seems to like them a lot— Visions, I mean. I wonder why…?
-        About Cyno… / If I’m being honest, he’s… really intimidating. I heard he’s really knowledgeable, but with how aloof and serious he is, it’s really hard to talk to him. Plus, he’s always out in the wild, never staying in one place! And the look he gave me when I tried to talk to him? I’m getting chills thinking about it… Maybe he’s a nice person, though?
-        About Takara… / I’ve been to Wangshu Inn a couple times, and I’ve seen him around. He seemed to be struggling a bit with some of the work, so I offered to lend a hand, but he denied it. I wonder if he’s doing okay now… might just invite him onboard the ship at some point, Beidou would like that. Ah, he had the same type of clothing style as Kazu, too… maybe they know each other. I could ask him about it, but Kazu has his secrets, and it’s best to respect those. Oh well, I’ll just see Takara next time we go to the inn!
-        About Asma… / She’s very pretty! I have a couple drawings of her. Her outfit is also really elegant, too. I heard from the other crew members that she didn’t worship any of the archons, though. It wasn’t even like a “the Archons never did anything for me” kind of thing, though she does carry around an Anemo vision. In fact, they said she worshipped an archon that didn’t exist for anyone but her! She’s interesting… wonder if I’ll ever see her again.
-        About Percy… / They came out of nowhere. No, seriously, we were about to set sail and all of a sudden they just popped behind me and said hi. It’s quite a way to scare someone, and I may have dropped a bunch of wood on my foot, but on the bright side, they’re quite nice and we hit it off very well! I’ll make a sign with a picture of them so the crew knows that they mean no harm. At least now, Percy doesn’t have to take the aerial route!
-        About Ethic… / Y’know, I didn’t think I’d be travelling around with an outlaw. They don’t talk much, but they’re a force to be reckoned with, especially when it comes to card games. They’ve got a total poker face, though you can’t really tell with that scarf over half their face. Of course, I haven’t the slightest clue why they put up with me, but I think me and Ethic are gonna be best buds. Of course, it’ll take a bit for them to warm up to me, but all friendships take time!
-        About Jules… / Hoo boy, where do I begin? Um, for one thing, he’s very strong. Able to wield a lance very well, for someone like him. While him being a Fatui and being on the run from the Fatui at the same time is somewhat concerning, we’re all pretty much on a wanted list, so I can’t complain much. However, the constant attempt to charm everybody he meets is a bit— dear, how do I put this— annoying? It sounds mean, but whenever he fails, and that’s half the time, he gets us into trouble.
-        About Fren… / Does— does anybody know where Fren even came from? Since Jules and Ethic are always fighting, I’m the only one able to babysit the kid, and… it’s kind of scary, on occasion. Once, it chided me for apparently “shedding the blood of Aiden” after beating a couple hilichurls. I don’t know who Aiden is. I am in fear. Also, okay, Fren is very cute and happy-go-lucky, yeah, but… why in the name of all the holy Archons does it have a gun?! I don’t think Fren is even from this world, honestly…
-        About Us: Sailing / All this fresh, non-sandy air does me wonders. It’s just me, the crew, and the open sea. Things are mostly peaceful around here, you should visit more often! When there’s a storm, though… mm. I don’t like them.
-        About Us: Journeys / I think everyone has a dream that keeps them going. I have exploring the world as mine, and you wanna find your sibling, and hey, look at me! I was able to achieve my dream. It takes a bit, but if my dream can come true, I’m sure yours will too. The journey isn’t always easy, but that just makes it all the more worth it in the end.
-        About the Vision / They say people with Hydro visions have a strong sense of moral justice and righteousness. I don’t think it’s true in my case, especially considering I left home, but… I’m still happy the Hydro Archon saw something in me. Thank you, faraway archon. I’ll visit you sometime, if I can.
-        Something to Share / Back at our family estate in Sumeru, a lot of the servants had to do really laborious jobs, all because of the stupid social ranking system. Whenever my family wasn’t around, I’d help them out as much as I could without anyone catching on to what I was doing… I hope I didn’t get caught on accident.
-        Interesting Things / Once, I headed up to Dragonspine to gather some new food for the sailors. The climate was so unnatural to me that I wound up with a raging fever for a solid two weeks… as it turns out, I don’t do well in really cold places.
-        More About Amika: I / If I’m being honest, I’d rather be part of Sumeru’s “peasantry” over being a noble. At least then, maybe it wouldn’t be so lonely… n-not that I’m complaining! Sometimes, I like being alone, especially when there’s paparazzi around. However, that doesn’t mean you can make friends often. So, uh… thanks for being here, Traveller.
-        More About Amika: II / I’m not a big fan of parties at all, especially if they’re for official events and whatnot. Everyone requires you to be pleasant and amicable, to laugh at jokes that aren’t even funny, to agree with their views. You get outcasted and looked down upon if you don’t follow the strict rules of society. You become the lowest of the low, cursed to serve others for the rest of your life… I hate it all.
-        More About Amika: III / Someday, they’ll trust me to gain control of the region, considering how much of a blind eye the Lesser Lord has turned to its’ people. I don’t know if I’m ready. I don’t want to be ready. I don’t wanna control the hierarchy! I just… ugh.
-        More About Amika: IV / I’ve always had in interest in people from places that are foreign to me. There isn’t a specific manner you have to act, and people don’t think you’re weird for having certain interests. Plus, it’s all just so pretty! There’s so many unique traits that everyone has, and I’d like to capture these moments as much as I can.
-        More About Amika: V / Someday, when I’ve had enough adventuring, I’ll settle back down in Sumeru. But! I want to live in a new Sumeru, one where everyone is treated equally. Where knowledge doesn’t mean power. I want to live in a Sumeru where people are happy. I think… we’re starting to get there, so I’m proud of Sumeru, but we’ve still got a bit to go, and I’m still waiting for that day. Plus, I’m not done adventuring yet. Come back in a whole lotta business days, thank you very much!
-        Amika’s Hobbies / Music has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. The perfect melody, a catchy rhythm, it’s just so captivating! I end up drumming my fingers to it a lot. The sea shanties are especially fun to sing along to.
-        Amika’s Troubles / I’d like to think I’m a good person, but… was it right to leave home? Maybe I’m just selfish to want to escape by myself. There’s still people suffering, the only thing that’s changed is the fact that a noble’s gone missing— gahhh, I bet the workload’s even higher for the servants! Is it really bad if I wanted to escape from it all? I don’t think I’ll ever know the answer to this…
-        Favourite Food / Mm, this is actually kind of hard… if I had to choose, though, it might be jelebis. I heard that they were like… “pretzels”, whatever those are, but they’re really sweet and… and now I’m hungry. Dang it, me.
-        Least Favourite Food / Mint. I hate it. Absolutely despise it, and it’s not even because of the spice kick! It kinda just… Blegh. Weird. Ew. No thank you. I’d eat a raw Jueyun Chili over anything with mint any day.
-        Birthday / Hey, Traveller, it’s the mostest special day of all: your birthday! See, I got to making a cake, and I was gonna sing “how old are you now” except I dunno how old you are, so— wait, you’re over five hundred?! Aw man, where am I supposed to get that many candles…? Y’know what, I’ll just give you the cake and a drawing. Unless… alright, let’s see if I can make five hundred more candles! Don’t worry, it’ll be fiiiine! … I think.
-        Feelings about Ascension: Intro / Woahhhhhh. It’s all tingly and cold, but also— waaah, adrenaline rush!! I’m all energized!!
-        Feelings about Ascension: Building Up / Stronger and faster and stronger and fasterandstrongerandfasterandstron— ow! Bit my tongue.
-        Feelings about Ascension: Climax / This power… it’s unlike anything I’ve felt before. If I’m strong enough, do you think I’ll be able to beat a huuuge Mitachurl barehanded?
-        Feelings about Ascension: Conclusion / Do the tingles usually last this long? Wow, okay, um… I’m powerful. And— and it’s in the good way, too. This was actually acquired fairly. Huh… I guess I’m pretty awesome, if I do say so myself! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go basically destroy the government.
