so i was going to come on here and tell yall about this dream i had that seemed very mianite influenced, but then it got me thinking about the wizards
so, correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure it was cannon that in s1 vs. s2, the wizards were playing the different alternates of themselves (excluding wag but stay with me)
so if thats the case, imagine the angst that couldve come from wag pre s2 but after s1 where wag does the teleportation spell, and sees these 3 wizards that look and sound practically identical to his brothers even so far as having the same names, but they just think wags this crazed lunatic thats full of it and is making everything up because its all just too absurdly bazaar to believe, and thats the storytelling reason wag isnt hanging out with those 3 as much in s2

sonic characters playing minecraft headcanons bc i cant sleep:
-tails is a huge redstoner. he builds giant farms for everyone on the server to use and also has a tendency to be responsible for most of the server's lag. in their umiverse tails is the one to invent wireless redstone
-tails also likes building house exteriors while amy builds the interiors. they work on a lot of projects together
-amy also runs a business making interiors because shes known to be the best at it on the server
-amy runs a shop selling mob loot because she loves killing things. she's also a master pvper and everyone fears her so you know no one would dare steal from her. she kills withers on the regular and makes bank off the nether stars
-she's also very skilled at using both the axe and the sword, but not as good at ranged weapons.
-sonic is an explorer and likes mods that allow for gear that makes him faster and increases his step height. mountain biomes are the bane of his existance in vanilla
-sonic used to live in tails' house but he would ruin his item sorter system all the time so he asked sonic to get his own storage. sonic now lives in a hole under tails' house
-sonic's a big potion user. he likes speed potions + water breathing / night vision potions for dealing with water stuff. he's soooo brave about it. he forced himself to take on a water temple because he couldnt stand the idea of there being an enemy he couldnt defeat. being underwater makes him sick tho
-knuckles is a miner and his house is a series of tunnels that blends into his mine. he also likes building things mainly with stone materials. he takes inspiration from irl angel island.
-rouge is a big flyer. shes possibly the best elytra user on the server
-rouge collects all the gems in the game and stacks them in shulker boxes in a vault nobody on the server has found yet. she does randomly flex by taking them out and showing them off. she'll go up to knuckles and just place a shulker box full of diamond blocks in front of him to taunt him, then quickly grab it and fly away.
-rouge doesn't mine so much as she'll trade or steal. she mainly steals from knuckles tho just to mess with him. knuckles always gets confused where his stuff has gone and still hasnt figured out rouge is the one taking it.
-rouge will also trade random missions for gems. these missions will often consist of helping with playing pranks on other members of the server.
-cream runs a flower and dye "shop" where she has super cheap prices, but half the time she will just give people flowers as gifts. everyone returns the favor with much more valuable items to make her happy but it technically doesn't count as selling/buying because cream never asks for anything in return. she does like receiving gifts tho
-big is always on the server, fishing. little do they know big is actually physically in the minecraft world. he doesnt know how he got there but he's vibin
-knuckles is very into minecraft lore. he likes exploring to learn more about the world and he likes finding old ruins. while sonic is also an explorer it's not too often they'll actually team up unless theyre specifically going to fight a difficult enemy. usually they prefer to go solo
-when time came to fight the ender dragon everyone showed up (except cream because she didn't think the dragon is evil and didnt want to kill it). shadow, sonic, and knuckles were all fighting for the final hit on the dragon. shadow got the hit but sonic stole the egg before anyone else could. he's hiding it in the hole under tails' house. rouge has her sights set on that thing and will figure out where it is any moment now. she just has to wait for tails to leave the house so she can search without being seen or heard
-shadow was the first on the server to get the achievement for collecting all the cats
-shadow is also a pretty good builder and he lives in a nice house with his cats. he has the most maxed out armor on the server
-tails has a solo world as well where he runs like 1000 mods that nobody else's computer could handle. i thought this was important to mention
-sonic likes to collect heads. both mob heads and player heads. he has 20 knuckles heads and 13 shadow ones but he could not get a tails one until tails donated one himself to the collection.

this is gonna be a part 1 to a longer post - but like a lot of the minecraft community (at least the vocal Gamers on the Internet) are... very. extrinsically motivated. and they demand a lot from the game. I think they remember when they were young and felt the game had so much to do, when they were making the experiences themselves with their own creativity and now they expect everything to have a deep meaningful use. Frankly, I don't think things in minecraft need to be useful - I think most of the people on here can likely resonate with that. A mob simply being cute and not having practical use cases is nice. a new material thats mainly for decoration is nice See, I think. Mojang trying to pander to extrinsically motivated players who need a clear use... just leads to kinda awkward like. people get the wrong message. they get the message that mojang wants to make something with lots of uses and are failing at making it useful, when mojang just wants to add something thats... well, fun! and gives it a practical use where it makes sense (yes, copper is a great example) Of course, things can be given use over time, but I don't think pressure should be put on everything to be useful. I voted glow squid because generally speaking, stuff from votes doesn't go all that deep, its something that improves the world in a simple way by existing. are foxes useful? Nah, not really. So I thought... well, glow squids seem very fun to see, bioluminescence is cool. Didn't really care if they didnt have a use, in fact that made them better to me - a blank canvas where you can do anything with them Frankly though? I wish they didnt do ANYTHING with them. glowing signs... cmon, that couldve been done with glowstone dust. Same goes for shoehorned "uses" for the phantom. phantom membranes... well, I guess they're probably what let the phantom fly around... so i GUESS it makes sense to repair... the pair of bug wings from a dimension you dont find them in slow falling couldve just been from brewing feathers :/ but yknow, people dont like "useless" stuff being in the game (because they think mojang is lazy and bad game designers) people dont really get what the goal of minecraft is. anyways, on that note. allays are not better than other collection methods lmao but THEY ARE CUTE. I really wanted to just get this off my chest - I have more to say. but tl;dr is if we use the puddles/oceans method in terms of depth. people dont like seeing just. decorative little puddles? so mojang saysd okay this is a pond. but its a puddle. its totally fine that its a puddle, but they pretend it isnt just .... for what? to appease people who want everything to be useful? people say they miss old mc updates, and yknow what? yknow what i miss from them? when things weren't deeply designed, lol 1.20 is a great update so far, good blend of carefully designing stuff and also just. throwing random stuff in because why not.

I'm sorry that this brings a lot of negativity, but I just want to discuss a bit.
Since you've been around since the early days, I just wanted to check if there was a cult of personality in the early L'Manburg days. Mainly because I came across this take while editing TV Tropes (the editor claimed to be “correcting” information and added it) and from what they have said, they sound like an apologist for the sad green man.
They also claimed that c!Dream only started cutting off his attachments AFTER the Spirit incident (before Exile).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I want to know your thoughts on this take, because I think I'm about to cry over how stupid this sounds.
Going to rip this apart one second.
This person says L'Manberg was formed on the basis of "making a drug empire" using "materials that Wilbur and Tommy stole or manipulated other SMP members into giving" and oh boy.
1. Wilbur and Tommy stole a few brewing stands and some potions from Tubbo's base, which wasn't Right, but it also.. wasnt as bad as it sounds? The only person they really tried taking blaze rods from was again, Tubbo - but Sapnap took the blaze rods before they could - and then later, Tubbo gave the whole stack of blaze rods willingly to help Wilbur and Tommy. No other SMP members were affected other than Tubbo who chose to join their side. The only people they tried "manipulating into giving items" were Sapnap and Tubbo. Tubbo who later decided to work with them, Sapnap who refused and didnt have any items taken from him. Fundy later joined because he literally said he wanted to brew drugs. Eret decided to help Wilbur and Tommy for fun.
2. "L'Manberg was founded on the basis of creating a drug empire" god is this a tiring take. Yes, there was a "drug van" that held.. normal Minecraft potions. The drugs were a bit. Nobody ever acted high off their ass on drugs. Also L'Manberg was Not the drug empire. The drug empire is the failed thing they attempted before this, and the.. violent reaction to the drug empire sparked the L'Manberg revolution. Sapnap had repeatedly been referred to as the "police" and Wilbur even had Fundy say "fuck 12" and he was called a "pig eating pig". Sapnap killed Tommy, and later Purpled went on a killing spree, killing Fundy, Eret, Wilbur, and tried to kill Tommy and Tubbo. Wilbur's idea of a Safe Independent Nation was a response to the violence, not because he wanted to make drugs. Literally after L'Manberg got its independence I vividly remember Wilbur telling Tommy to stop talking about drugs bc he just wants a Hamilton roleplay lmao. Wilbur and Tommy never tried the drug thing after this, L'Manberg's focus has never been selling or creating drugs.
3. Yes they banned Americans from joining L'Manberg. It was funny. But there's this weird idea that "oh nobody could enter-" they could! People entered L'Manberg all the time, nobody could enforce the whole "keep non-L'Manbergians out" thing. Quackity trespassed on his first day. One time Sapnap threw a tantrum bc Tommy wouldnt kick Fundy out and went into L'Manberg to shoot at the salmon in the river. There's a whole stream with Niki hanging out with Punz, Ponk, Eret and Karl.. on L'Manberg's grounds. L'Manberg had a "no armor, no weapons" rule, so if anyone were to enter L'Manberg they'd take their armor off and keep their weapons away. Surprisingly enough this one was followed.
4. The idea that Dream was "in the right" during the first L'Manberg war. Why does there have to be a "right"? I dont think L'Manberg side was morally great, but that doesnt make Dream the one in the right. Even if it was "his land", even if he had a right to be mad... he focused on Tommy over the person who actually made L'Manberg, he destroyed Tommy's base twice, he burnt down Tubbo's base, he destroyed Tommy's cuck shed, he and his friends stole 10 hours worth of grinded items from Tubbo ONE DAY before the war, and then again stole the items he'd prepared the MORNING of the war. He then appointed a spy and took 4 canon lives. May I bring to attention that he did all this to enemies to repeatedly said theyd fight with words, not weapons, who refused to grief back. Dream was "viewed as a bad guy" because he destroyed things and killed people. He KNEW L'Manberg was harmless, he literally called them "The Land of Pussies" half an hour before declaring war and then burying Tommy and Tubbo in a hole to steal their items for fun. He knew damn well there was no chance of L'Manberg ever winning and he refused to let them have a chance at getting good items. Even if he felt villainised by L'Manberg, the "propaganda" turned nobody against him that didnt already have a bad experience with him, and the rest of the server was FINE with him until he hurt them directly.
5. "He has been known to do good" where
6. Tommy threatening Dream with Spirit is a scene that makes me see Red when people talk about it. Tommy was being humiliated for what was essentially the crime of.. burning a roof and building a netherrack penis. Dream responded by building huge obsidian walls and threatening war, instantaneously taking it too far. Everything was being blamed on Tommy, you could clearly see him panicking, Dream was taunting him, sending him whispers of "enjoy your probation" and ":)", knowing damn well he'll make Tommy snap. Tommy threatened Dream with Spirit to try to get him to take the walls down, to try to get him to stop. He did what Dream had done to him multiple times, use an attachment against him. I hate the idea of "this is the moment Dream gave up his attachments" because it blames everything on Tommy once again. People frame this as a malicious act from Tommy against Dream but it was a scared kid doing a last desperate move to try to get the person who was threatening to build walls up to build height and slaughter anyone outside them who was also trying to exile him from his nation to stop and leave him alone. George's house was an excuse, there has been no rule against messing with the DSMP king, no rules were added or changed. Tommy is not to blame for Dream willingly giving up his attachments, and the Spirit thing was a dumb move at best but never a malicious one done intentionally to hurt Dream. I hate the idea that Tommy "deserved exile" for "not listening" and letting Dream walk all over him and punish him in a severe way for something literally nobody else has been punished for.

BNHA characters and their genshin experiences
I've been way into genshin for the past couple months, if anyone wants to play with me message me (I'm lvl 45 rn) but be warned I have shitty internet and am a partial razor main
but this is mainly characters I can see actually putting time into genshin
Bakugou
Mains: Yanfei
his main has probably been most every pyro character at some point
he wants diluc so bad, whenever someone else complains that diluc ruined their pity he wants to ruin their existence
before yanfei his main was probably hu Tao
hed definitely play klee if he had her lmao but he doesnt and is patiently waiting for her rerun
he has a lot of 5 star characters and is f2p, he can always get banner characters within at least the first pity, but for standard 5 stars hes gotten keqing and qiqi way too many times and hes livid
especially as a previous hu tao main, he was begging for Jean, still has yet to come home
hes probably a very high level, not fully maxed out considering he hasnt been playing all that long, he was probably forced to start when the rest of the bakusquad started playing it and he just took off
has really shitty artifact luck though, like his characters arent bad or anything but they could be so, so much better
and ugh hes livid
explores everything, has 100% exploration everywhere, but hes not bored hes still got artifact farming to do and he enjoys terrorizing enemies
in co op he will set you and everything around you on fire. cope.
Todoroki
Mains: Xiao or Ganyu
probably only started playing because Izuku asked him to
kaeya has also been on his team since day 1 and he is never leaving doesnt matter his friendship has been level 10 for weeks now who cares
was f2p until xiao, who didnt want to come home at all, and he finally got him on his 180th pull
now he doesnt care and will buy primogems whenever hes bored
he has a lot of constellations on kaeya and hes so proud of that, probably c4, is considering buying way too many primogems just so that he can hopefully get his c6
now his artifact luck is godly, you'll go into a domain with him and be like ugh I got nothing and hes like I got a 4 piece set with all attack or crit rate/damage main stats like haha I hate you
but yeah his characters are very strong cause of this, but he doesnt put effort into building a lot of them, he only levels up and gives good artifacts to his team and a couple other characters he likes but everyone else just sits there for a while
hes not super obsessed with the game, but he does think its funny seeing bakugou get so upset whenever they do domains together
doesnt even bother doing daily tasks really unless hes trying to save primogems
Midoriya
Mains: Venti
hes so good at building characters, like he looks up builds online and watches those "do INSANE damage with these tips" videos - and he sets out to get them done and he does
bakugou is once again livid whenever they play together, because Izuku barely has to try and can do so much more damage than him
he does have to put in a lot of work for his artifacts though because he doesnt settle for the okay ones he needs the absolute best
he builds his favorite characters the most ofc, but he evenly distributes things to other characters he knows can be useful- those characters might not have insane stats but they're still good
will not kill timmies pigeons, hell hunt birds in the wild for fun though
definitely a food hoarder
also does a lot of exploring and probably has at least 90% for each area
Kaminari
Mains: Lisa
he is 1000% in love with Lisa, he took her quest very seriously
and so many people say shes horrible, he hates it, hes made her crazy strong out of spite
his team consists of only his wifus- meaning lisa, beidou, rosaria, and mona
for a long time beidou was his second but then rosaria came along and hes like ugh big tiddy goth gf, but lisa still remains queen
these are the only characters hes built though, save for a couple like probably razor and xiangling that he used before he fully got this team
is an ayaka saver
he doesnt care too much about most 5 stars but will sometimes get them just to say he has them, but they end up just sitting there rotting away because he never puts work into them
he does have hu tao though and would get ganyu if she ever had a rerun
Kirishima
Mains: Diluc Razor or Beidou
they're all on his team, the last person switches out but it's most likely zhongli or childe
hes all about dps, support who, he just wants to hit hard and do insane damage , so yes he made dps zhongli
except his builds arent that great, with some help his builds are decent, but on his own hell be like ugh that's some sexy 300 damage
probably didnt know what 90% of the stats even meant and just put random attack ones on people and went yeah that looks good
doesnt really care though and is just having fun so hell play how he wants (as he should) but he does have to ask for help when farming bosses
loves exploring but misses so much, hell get distracted easily and end up just messing around
honestly probably hasnt bothered to ascend his world since he got to level 35, if he did the quest hed probably go straight to 45 and even then hed still have extra exp because hes been there for so long oml
but eventually he would have to and hed be trying to do it like :,) this is fine and it takes him a lot of tries but he gets there eventually,,, only to immediately have another one waiting for him poor baby
Mina
Mains: Klee or Xiangling
thinks baizhu is hot (and is correct) so shes desperately waiting for him
was a I must play 24/7 player until after the last story quest, then she got kinda bored but still plays frequently so she can save primogems and likes playing co op
goes into random peoples worlds a lot
shes got some pretty strong characters and is proud of her account
definitely makes tiktoks of her playing with the bakusquad cause it's always v chaotic (it's probably only denki and kirishima most of the time, but sometimes either bakugou or sero will join in)
does all the genshin tiktok trends
shes a pretty high level since shes probably been playing for a while and has most everything done
she loves helping lower level people though she thinks it's so cute and loves the power she feels when she one shots things
Sero
Mains: Xingqui
hes a pretty casual player, kinda only plays when hes bored or the others make him play with them
but his stats arent too bad, they're fairly average but he gets by
has so many primogems because he doesnt bother to wish on anyone, probably wants kazuha though
he does get super invested into the story though, hes so curious about the world and where the story is gonna lead
probably watches a lot of genshin theory videos and now he over thinks everything in the game
he explores a lot, not so much to find every single thing but more so just because he likes looking at everything, hes very excited for all the new places
Shinsou
Mains: Childe
hes a very thorough player, he explores a lot and puts a lot of work into building his characters
most of them arent all that great but he has plans to fix them
his main team is very well built, not the best, but still good
he struggles when he has to switch someone out for a domain or something because his other characters are so painfully mediocre right now and he feels so bad
shinsou, playing a character that can do like max 200 physical damage and biggest damage is like 2 thousand, repeatedly saying I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you deserve so much better, I'm so sorry
even if it's not the worst damage by far, he feels bad about anything under his main team's stats because they're just so much higher
broke. has no primogems. spent them all on childe and his constellations. does he regret it? well he sure does appreciate his c6 so- hell manage
yes he spent real money on his stupid mass murderer who he loves very much
fights childe every day even though he already collected the treasure, he is but a humble simp
probably decently lucky with wishing like he can beat the 50/50 almost every time
Tamaki
Mains: Chongyun and Sucrose
he only started playing recently, probably kirishima got him into it, but he immediately fell in love
kirishima was like tell me when you're level 16 so we can play together !!! and 2 days later tamaki was level 16 and kiri was shook because how the hell did he do it so fast
hates domains, the dread he feels when he realizes the lower level isnt going to give him anything anymore, and he has to move up to the next, and the next,,
asks kirishima to help him only to realize he isnt much help, is too nice to say that so he let's kiri keep trying- one day kiri gets deku to play with the two of them and tamaki almost cries because finally he can get through the level 90 domain and actually get things ugh
cannot get xingqui to save his life he refuses to come home and poor tamaki is so sad he wants him a lot hes even got all his materials saved up
Monoma
Mains: Ningguang
honestly doesnt play all that much but takes pride in making his account seem v good, is a whale
but hes very good at the game, didnt know what the artifacts were for at first and gave people ones based on how they looked but once he figured it out hes fixed them
is a very standard player, logs in every day to do his commissions and use his resin then logs out, he doesnt put too much time into the game and doesnt worry if he misses a day or two
worships ningguang, also really likes xinyan, his other team members are probably venti and albedo
has every single banner 5 star that has come out since he started playing, probably doesnt have klee though and is v upset about it, and is thanking the heavens for all the reruns lately
also doesnt have keqing and wants her a lot cause he likes her
accepts every single co op request he gets, and despite what a lot may think hes actually a very nice person to play with, not toxic at all - unless you're someone he knows then he might be mean to you shshshsh
Shigaraki
Mains: Razor
haha isnt it so odd that they sound so similar haha (if you dont know they have the same japanese va and I'm guessing hed play it in Japanese)
obviously he can be kinda busy ya know being a criminal and all that but when hes not he puts a lot of time into genshin
sadly doesnt have very good luck when it comes to characters or artifacts, but hes doing his best even with 0 primogems and his 50% crit rate
doesnt explore all that much, most of the exploring hes done came from him trying to get all the oculus
his razor is so good though, except that's the only character hes put tons of effort into
except for now zhongli, hes not replacing razor but ugh does he love zhongli
but his other characters are pretty mediocre at best, he could build them if he wanted to, hes good enough at gaming to figure it out, he just doesnt have the time to spend to do it so he focuses on his main team
also (spoiler alert kinda) when we had to go to the wolf spirit to fight the abyss herald and razor was there, afterwards how razor was saying how he was too weak and stuff and was super sad, at that very moment shiggy decided the entire abyss order had to be destroyed - sorry aether (he chose lumine) but razor is more important than you

Headcanons of Krel living on earth because he’s my favorite and I love him and I haven’t seen anyone do this yet so I feel like I have to
Tumblr media
^^^^^because of this very moment I love the idea of Mary and Darci befriending Krel.
Since Aja,Vex and Eli went back to Akaridion-5, Mother was destroyed, and Claire was busy with Trollhunting stuff, earth gets pretty lonely. So Mary and Darci adopt him into their friend group. 
At first Krel was a little apprehensive to joining their friend group, but he quickly warmed up to it because, he, being Krel, loves the attention.
like I can totally see Mary and Darci taking Krel to like a mall or something and doing those like teen romcom movie shopping montages where he goes into a changing room and the girls judge the outfit until they find the perfect one.
I personally believe Krel would adopt a soft boy look, with like oversized button ups and t shirts tucked into jeans, but thats just me.
anyway, because he’s friends with Mary and Darci, Krel has a new found social popularity in Arcadia.
because of this, Krel would prolly get nominated for Spring Fling king and shit
I would say Krel wouldn’t really care about being nominated, but seeing how he cared so much about the science fair and the Battle of the Bands, he would definitely care
Steve is conflicted because he wants to be Spring Fling King, but he can’t mess with Krel like he did with Jim and Eli cause Krel is his girlfriend’s brother 
Krel notices this and takes advantage of it to mess with Steve and actually tries to win.
like Krel would just dominate the contests, and his theme presentation would be the flashiest and most appealing and people would just generally like him, and that would really worry Steve
like Krel, with four arms would be really good at the Touch-a-Truck-athon or whatever its called.
Krel would prolly let Steve win anyway because watching Steve squirm and freak out over prolly losing the crown and not being able to do anything about it cause he's Aja's brother is much better than any highschool dance crown
also the school 100% asks Krel to DJ future dances and events to save money, and Krel absolutely loves it
He would also definitely do the school play. Seeing how much he enjoyed being in Toby and Eli's short film, and again, he loves the attention, he would totally be down 
Also it would just be another chance to mess with Steve to be the lead. 
Because of this, Ms. Janeth would do another Shakespearean play, but do one of those modern renditions. Like it's the same play just in a modern setting, to take advantage of Krel's Akaridion form like they did with Jim's armor. 
If not in the play he would do stage crew/tech.
Like he would create elaborate settings for them using A5 tech and Ms. Janeth would adore it 
moving on, because home life is pretty lonely with just the Lucy and Ricky for company, Krel loves to host his friends for parties and sleepovers and whatever
and since Krel lives in the coolest house on the block, they love coming over
He hosts girl’s night every other week with Mary, Darci, and Clarie (becauuse she deserves a fucking break) 
since we’ve all agreed that Krel is 100% a gaylien, I love the idea that he casually comes out during a girls night
like Mary would be like “So Krel, are there any girls you like?” and Krel’s just like, “*snort* Girls? Who ever said I like girls?” and the others are like “….....?“ and Krel just rolls his eyes and says "I like boys, ladies” and they’re like “ooooohhhh, okay. Cool.”
So now they spend girls night talking about boys. Claire and Darci about their mans and Mary and Krel about cute boys.
One day the girls give Krel a little rainbow pin and Krel’s just like “what’s this?” And the girls tell him that it’s an earth symbol for the gays and he’s like “theres a symbol for that here? I didnt think it was that big of a deal. On A5 it’s pretty normal” and the girls explain why theres a symbol and he’s like “oh shoot wow, thanks" and he put it on his backpack.
He’s pretty confused the first time someone is homophobic towards him cause like that kind if behavior doesnt happen on A5 and hes just like, “why does this bother you? I hardly know you” and just brushes it off. Its doesnt really bother him, mainly cause he doesnt know the earth insults towards gay people so he doesn’t even realize, but if the girls (or Toby, or even Steve, too) catch anyone being homophobic towards their friend they will attack that asshole on sight. Especially Mary and Steve
Random person on the street: Ha, *slur*
Marry: WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM BITCH???
Krel: Marry its fine, it’s not that big of a dealoHSEKLOSANDGAYLENMARYGETOFFOFHIM
Marry: SAY IT AGAIN ASSHAT, I D A R E YOU
Claire and Darci: *trying to hold Mary back* maRY NO
Steve: THATS MY NINJA KICKING SPACE ANGEL GIRLFRIEND'S BROTHER BUTTSNACK I'LL END YOU
Toby: *now chasing after Steve to stop him* stEVE NO
Mary would 100% find out who the rando is and destroy their life on social media. Like she would leak their job, phone number, email, school/college (if applicable) to her thousands of followers and absolutely ruin them with no remorse. And honestly, good for her
Also whilst on the subject, Krel can not drive or cook for 2 reasons: 1. Hes gay and 2. He’s a prince so he’s never had to do either before
Like he can obviously do math but that’s it.
Proof? That one scene in Wizards when Douxie had him drive the airship. You know the one.
Coach Lawrence refuses to get in a car with him at Drivers Ed after the 3rd day Krel shows up.
Krel gets addicted to sugary coffee shop-esc drinks thanks to Darci. Not coffee cause we saw in 3Below Part 1 that he doesnt like coffee, but refreshers, coolattas, frappuccinos etc…? Definitely.
As for warm drinks, he’s more of a tea person.
Moving on
He face calls Aja everyday because he really misses her
He tells her all about school and his friends and whatever and Aja tells him about the changes she’s making to the A5 government
Thanks to the wormhole they visit each other often. Sometimes Steve tags along cause he misses his ninja kicking space queen angel girlfriend. (And Eli, but that's also for another post)
They take turns housing Luug.
Krel genuinely loves it on earth, but he hates the primitive technology so he begs Aja to send him supplies and materials for his projects. 
He would 10000% apply to HexTech for an after school job. Seeing his reaction to HT in Wizards and the fact that “Akaridion tech and magic are so compatible”, he would be the perfect addition to the HT staff. 
The Wizards wouldn’t be sure at first but after he shows them A5 tech and Douxie’s email of recommendation about the time loop thing they made together, the wizards are like “oh yeah we definitely keeping this kid. This is going to be so much fun.”
Their inventions become more and more extravagant because Krel can and he's just extra and the wizards love it.
He would definitely find a way to use magic using A5 tech. But he would have to study magic in order to figure out how, so the wizards help him learn all about magic. And since he's learned everything there is to learn about science and technology and whatever, he's super excited to learn about something completely different and interesting. The wizards are happy to teach him. He would be the first Akaridion to learn and use magic
Like he would make his own staff with his serrator and everything. He's like "earn a staff? Nah fuck that going to make my own"
Speaking of which he really likes human swear words. But he doesnt know when it is and isn't inappropriate to say these swear words so he's gotten in trouble a few times for swearing at the wrong time
For example:
Ms. Janeth: excuse me Mr. Tarron?
Krel: what the fuck do you want?
Everyone in the room: krEL NO
Anyway, back to Krel at HT, thanks to Toby, he would definitely have a bowl of candy in his little lab. More like multiple jars of different candy just scattered around the room. Small candy like fun sized chocolate and skittles and jelly beans and whatever
And a mini fridge, of course.
Steve, Toby and Arrrgh come over to the lab alot to mess around.
Toby has a lot of sci-fi requests for Krel to make
Toby: do you think you can make a shrink ray? Laser blasters? Invisible ray? My own hoverboard? My own serrator *gASP* WITH A WARHAMMER SETTING???? WITH SPACE ARMOR TO MATCH???!!!???!
Krel: Toby you already have a warhammer and armor why do you need more?
Toby: I dont have a space warhammer and armor Krel!!!!!!
Going back to school life, I feel like Krel would take an interest in Spanish class. I mean, his human form is latino and in Trollhunters (I'm pretty sure the lightning in a bottle episode) he said "Si" in response to a question someone asked him, so I feel like he would like to learn another human language. 
I also feel like he would just like to learn about Latin American culture in general since Mother gave him that form. He'd like to get in touch with his human self. 
Claire (when she isnt busy Trollhunting with Jim and the gang) is happy help him learn about Latin American culture and help him with his Spanish. 
Krel, being a fast learner, becomes fluent quickly with a perfect accent. 
Señor Uhl, who already liked the Tarrons to begin with, would really appreciate this. 
Claire's dad would also appreciate this.
Since he has such a fascination with human music, Krel would especially love Latin American music. Specifically reggaeton, since its kind of like techno music in a way and he already likes techno music.
And naturally, he learns to dance. All the styles of latin american dances. And he becomes quite the favorite on the dance floor.
He and Claire become great dance partners cause they both have the natural Latino rhythm and because Jim respects and trusts his girlfriend he doesnt mind them dancing together at parties and stuff
Although, Jim does ask for dance help at some point cause it looks like fun and he wants to dance with his beautiful talented incredible amazing gf and Krel is happy to teach him and anyone else who wants dance help. 
GUITAR LESSONS with Douxie cause in 3Below Krel said he really wanted to learn how to play guitar, steals Shannon’s guitar from the bonfire and is seen multiple times strumming it throughout the series. So of course this is included.
Toby introduces Krel to YouTube and Krel instantly makes his own channel.
of course his channel is called DJ Kleb and he posts his tracks and remixes. and maybe even some vlogs
its a little slow at first, only Arcadia Oaks students are subscribed to it but Mary blows it up by posting one of Krel’s tracks on her own social media and now he has thousands of subscribers
he also gained other forms of social media like Instagram and Tiktok, platforms to post his music
At this point every girl in school wants to be friends with Krel but not in the toxic GBF (gay best friend) way, girls just genuinely think he's 10x more interesting than every other boy in Arcadia Oaks
I think that's it for now sorry this is really long I just really love Krel and I had so many ideas. Feel free to add on!!

hi tange ❤️❤️❤️ I hope this is ok to ask but as an art student was there ever any issues w/ submitting fanart since uv said u did naruto stuff at school? I only have experience w high school art class and the mortification of showing people my fanwork was too much for me so I just did original art I was less passionate about to show teachers etc 😖 but I dont look back on that art as kindly as I do my old fanart either yknow ?
hi!! oh my gosh if u or anyone ever had qs about art school please ask! i'm always down to answer to help unveil the mystery of it and also to help out haha, putting a tldr upfront and long post under read more
tldr: on the offchance ur school does allow it go for it cus no one will care, but i highly suggest taking the opportunity to explore original IPs instead because it's hard to do outside of an education environment, esp if ur normally into fanart (like me)
ok heres the long reply: its gonna be based all lot off of ur schools rules! to be honest a lot of my work was original, the only classes i submitted fanart for were my digital animation class bc i 1. was at the point where i didnt give a fuck LOL and 2. the professor did not check in with us before we started so we could do whatever.... and the other class was for character design because it was a fanart assignment 0: most other times i acually did strive to do original work and focused mainly on three different IPs i have.
i did dress up as naruto on multiple occasions tho because the opportunity popped up! probably like 5 times lol
i think something (and this is based on school) that you will discover is that professors genuinely do not care how outragous your content is! if anything if it's super whack then it's more entertaining and ull have more fun w it. i animated the nyan neko sugar girl rabies bite and my teacher didnt bat an eye and also made an oc in chara design whos biggest trait was being obsessed w how good she looked and having the BIGGEST tits and ass as a part of her character and my teacher was like 'yeah but this boot is uneven? watch the curve on her bra, etc'. i even used her in some of my bg paintings later haha. so i would say more than making fanart just feel out the vibe of ur school, it's honestly a REALLY good time to explore original work because once ur out u can make whatever you want, or do original work for ur assignments and fanart for fun? which is what i tried to do! when ur in you get feedback from other students and teachers which is something that becomes a lot harder post graduation, so learning how to build up strong original stories is great and you'll come out with lovable characters that r dear to u! but also some/most? schools don't allow fanart, mine normally didn't except for that animation class n i'm sure it's only cus he didnt recognize the source material haha..
also people really will not care if it is allowed because EVERYONE else at art school also draws for fun and is going because they want to. like no one is forced to go into art school and normally have to fight their way in. people at my school KNEW me as the naruto person who loved sasuke lol like i got coined the title of hokage for like the second half of my time there.. so do not fear! if ur talking and making connections with ur fellow peers (which u should really try to do) then eventually youll be talking about similar interests and sharing social medias anyways and unless ur drawing like. REALLY weird/yikes stuff it's fine! one of my best friends is making a living off of explicit furry nsfw rn lol
hopefully this helps i think i tried to answer like 20 questions instead of just 1 but i think fanart is a good segway into just type of content to make for school! also try to avoid putting fanart in your portfolio if you can, or keep it in a separate section. I keep my nice quality fanart in mine but specifically labelled in a section called fanart so people can look at my original work because that's where its All My Brain, which ppl wanna see if that makes sense. Fanart is something where someone would look to see how you executed a piece just for draftsmanships sake but ig another reason to not do a lot of fanart is you won't come out with as many portfolio pieces you can use confidently? some recruiters dont care and some do so its best to just be safe

little babble about asoa and the iliad that really shouldnt havent been this long but i guess i had a lot to say 
my thing with a song of achilles is that. its literally just fanfiction. when i read it for the first time i thought it was good and didnt have any particular issue with it bc the transformation of myths and characters is like. okay it doesnt always have to be a carbon copy of the original myth. but at the same time it has such a cult following it has lead people to thing asoa = the iliad. 
it makes people think that the only thing that happens in the iliad is: ough agamemnon big meany, uhh hector killed patroclus, and apparently the iliad is just about achilles and patroclus. i dont think that was her intent like, she is writing the love story between achilles and patroclus but thats just the way fans of the book have transformed it, and thusly assume that asoa is an actual accurate representation of the iliad itself.
things i dont like retrospectively are like, the “woobification” (for lack of better word) of patroclus but more specifically achilles. like i said im all for transforming myth into new stories but like...changing basic characteristics of figures just seems unnecessary. 
i dont find achilles entirely sympathetic in the source material at all. like he’s alright he certainty “goes hard” when patroclus dies but its like. im always caught between the fact that, the acheans arent really sympathic at all? theyre the ones invading troy like to me the most sympathetic character in the iliad is Hector and his family (mainly priam and andromache) and i cant remember the exact line but it really bothers me in asoa how achilles is like “why would i hurt hector hes done nothing to me” and the build up is oh well, hector killed patroclus and </33 poor achilles his lover is dead. bc like hector has every right to be the one killing patroclus “mr ‘going so ham on the battle field hes so convicning at being achilles everyone thinks he is” BC HES LITERALLY LIKE...tearing up the field killing trojans. and people that think achilles little rampage is ROMANTIC?? is just so weird to me bc hes totally lost himself and is killing people in reckless abandon....achilles is pretty monstrous especially when facing off against hector AND I REALLY CANT BELIEVE people think that hector is some sort of evil villain because he killed patroclus. 
and also a side note for patroclus characterization in asoa. do forgive me bc i cant remember every detail but the whole time it seems like it makes patroclus (achilles too to a certain degree) entirely reluctant to actually participate in the war which isnt accurate at all. making patroclus this very sensitive and soft man like...bro hes a fucking warrior hes not a healer hes not on the sidelines. going back to when he wears achilles armor and tears it up on the battle field; HES GOING HARD IT IS entirely realistic to everyone around him that he is in fact achilles like. he isnt your soft boy uwu AND NEITHER IS ACHILLES. 
at the end of the day like. its still a good novel I GUESS ive fallen more out of love with it over the years after realizing stuff like this. (and fans definitely spur on my dislike even more) bc the mischaracterization of figures (achilles, patroclus, agamemnon and i guess hector being the most egregiously affected) paired with the shift from...epic about the horrors of war to.....a love story is just very very weird to me and i cant forgive what kind of impact it has had on people when they reflect upon the original poem. overall the fact that the iliad is often times viewed as “the love story between achilles and patroclus” really boils my blood. 
i dont hate people for liking it bc like i said its well written and if it was seperate from the iliad id probably enjoy it more. but its not and you can keep liking it im not saying its a problematic or bad book im just saying i wish people were a little more thoughtful in consuming and the consequently engaging with people who dont give two shits about the novel and just wanna talk about the iliad.

assigning some of my favorite characters genshin mains and teams because i Can and i Will
i know the amount of 5stars ive assigned a lot of them is lowkey unreasonable but i dont care dhsjfbsk this is purely based on vibes or if it fits their character also this is my opinion so let me vibe please
suzuya juuzou - rosaria main definitely. he’d also love and use hu tao, xiao, and zhongli (shinopapa vibes *cries*). i realize now i unknowingly gave him a full polearm team, but honestly it makes sense bc he would Absolutely Love all the polearm users, the polearms remind him of his scythe (he wishes rosaria had an actual scythe). i also think he would love scaramouche and is anxiously awaiting him becoming playable (me too dude, me too)
nagito komaeda - bennett main !!! he would see that unlucky boy and be like , you are me, i love you, you are precious, im maining you (he would be so much nicer to bennett than he is himself and he would probably cry while doing bennett’s hangout event). i think he’d also use ganyu, xiao, and ningguang (i have no basis for the latter three that was entirely gut feeling but i think it fits honestly). i also think he would have almost every 5star unlocked, as well as every 4star at c4 or higher, because his luck is just too damn good- although his bad luck kicked in and almost stopped him from getting xiao who he really wanted, so he whaled in order to get him
inosuke hashibira - not only would he main razor, but he would probably refuse to ever switch to any other character- he would have the starters (traveler [whose name is “INOSUKE” in all caps just like that], kaeya, and amber) but theyre all level 20 and razor is constantly on life support, but he is completely maxed out (c6, level 90, full level talents, fully levelled wolf’s gravestone). tanjiro is constantly yelling at him to start using more characters (he is the reason the others are level 20) but that just makes inosuke even more stubborn. should he eventually cave, he would probably also use venti (reminds him of zenitsu), childe (reminds him of tanjiro), and noelle (for nezuko- although he had to ask tanjiro for some help on that one)
ran mitake - Definitely xinyan main <3 i mean, the sole rock n roll musician of liyue ?? you Cannot !! tell me she wouldnt love xinyan. she would also have a super rad support barbara, as well as jean (reminds her of tomoe) and xingqiu (reminds her of moca). she doesnt have the room on her team, but she also really loves noelle because she reminds her of tsugumi, and amber because she reminds her of himari. she used them for a very long time because of that, she got clowned by some players who think the starter characters suck, but its ok cause ran knows theyre wrong and she does what she wants<3
ako udagawa - i struggled here bc i think she would absolutely Love a bunch of them but lets see- she would definitely Main and kin fischl for so many reasons (her style, the way she speaks, her general personality, and she wants a pet like oz). i think she’d also really love rosaria and hu tao (she Loves their aesthetics as well as how they are in battle, although hu tao is typically on the verge of death bc she always forgets to make food), as well as jean and sucrose (those two remind her of tomoe and rinko respectively and she’d probably switch them out depending on what she’s doing)
rinko shirokane - definitely sucrose main <3 she would also probably use fischl bc ako vibes !! plus i think she would be SUPER great at doing aimed shots and would do SO MUCH DAMAGE when hitting oz with an aimed shot- as well as mona bc i hc that she’s really interested in astrology and also hc that she loves mage characters in games (whether that is canon or not, i am not sure). also she would use bennett, both for extra healing as well as really loving him- she probably feels so bad for the poor unlucky boy awww :((
rio ranger - he switches between maining xiao and childe. he also uses diluc and rosaria !! he used kaeya for a very long time, but when rosaria came out he was like “I NEED HER”- pulling for rosaria was actually how he got childe, but he didnt mind because he actually really liked childe
reko yabusame - i really tried to give her someone other than xinyan but honestly i think she would love xinyan too much to not main her. she loves her style and her backstory so much, and she really wishes xinyan got more content. she also uses childe (bc alice vibes- no its not bc of the murderer stuff, i personally think they relate in other ways), sucrose (bc nao vibes), and beidou (bc she thinks beidou is hot as fuck, plus good elemental reactions and defense)
joe tazuna - i cant quite pick a single main but i think his team would be razor (dogboy joe go brr), bennett, venti, and maybe klee !! he loves the vibes of them all. he pulled jean and considered using her because she has sara vibes, but he decided to stick with venti mainly because he simply did not feel like grinding for her materials (i mean can you blame him? im currently struggling enough with that)
mutsuki tooru - first off the only reason he started playing was bc he saw saiko playing it and was intrigued. he would switch between maining xingqiu and venti !! it was love at first sight for him. he thought he would never get venti for a long long time, bc he missed venti’s first run. he used chongyun up until he pulled venti !! he also started saving his primos as soon as he heard speculation about venti having a rerun- and sure enough, he pulled him!! he felt like the happiest boy on earth<3 he would also have xiangling because he likes her vibes as well as her abilities, as well as albedo just bc he really likes him (he’s super invested in the homonculus + khaenri’ah theories and probably would make multiple tumblr posts about it)
ibuki mioda - xiny- *SMACKED* Actually i think she would have xinyan on her team, but her main? either klee or xiangling !! she loves their vibes n they lowkey remind her of herself. i also think she would really like diona for some reason, and probably beidou, idk why i just get the vibes !! she would have a Sick diona i just know it
chihiro fujisaki - i feel like he would switch between maining yanfei and sucrose !! yanfei just bc they like her, sucrose bc he relates to her a Lot <3 they would also use ningguang bc he admires her intelligence and determination, as well as chongyun- i almost gave him barbara, and i think they would love to use her, but he probably figured its not a good idea to have a full catalyst team despite how much they love catalysts, so he went with their next fave !! plus he knows claymores are super useful so it was a huge plus. he’s Super smart so they have so many tactics he uses, they’re Amazing with artifacts, and they Live for skillfully executed elemental combos
mikan tsumiki - she would have a full healer team, no doubt. barbara main !! duuuude she would have the SICKEST dps barbara omggg- she would do So much damage And be an Amazing healer !!! plus bennett, jean, and qiqi !!! she loves them all very much <3

BNHA Oc- “Peril” the U.A. Traitor
Tumblr media
Name: Izumi
Nationality:
Japanese
Hero Villain Name: Peril
Quirk:  
Percieved Peril
Quirk Characteristics:
Percieved peril is a quirk activated when the weilder expiriences fear. Once activated, anyone within eyesight of the holder becomes locked in a complete illusionary state. The illusion takes the form of a situational peril. For example, if activated with an open flame nearby, the person might see the flames travel towards them and crawl up their body, making the victim think they are being set aflame. Other times it can take the form of falling objects, windows breaking and glass raining down, or the crumbling of the ground beneath them. This hallucination often causes people to react hysterically and try to escape or sheild themselves in some way. To break the effect the person needs to realize it is a hallucination, usually occuring when they don't feel the flames actually burning them after a few moments of rolling/patting them, or not feeling hurt when the glass cuts them.
It also can be broken when the person emitting this quirk slows their heart to under 70 beats a minute or the weilder loses conciousness.  
Quirk Weaknesses: This quirk has a number of weaknesses, including the length and intensity of the hallucination. These are largely out of the weilders control, they are often completely situational in order to concince the victim that they are truly in life threatening danger. Because of this, occaisionally it can be broken quite easilly.
For hallucinations where a person thinks they have been set on fire, it only takes several moments for them to realize the flames do not burn. Similarly, for times where the hallucination appears as the ground crumbling beneath them, it only takes a person a jump to realize that they are still standing on completely solid ground. One very large weakness of this quirk is that if overused or used in large groups simultaniously, the user can be pulled into their own hallucinations. While it would not make them hysterical they would not be able to see their true surroundings which would leave them vulnerable to approaching assailants from any direction. The hallucinations are unique to each indicidual who is caught within it, therefore, if a group is hit by the quirk, than each gets their own completely individual scenario. They cannot see the rest of the group while in this hallucination and that is incredibly taxing upon the user themself.   Smaller weaknesses include eye irritation, drowseyness, and nightmares.
Personality:
Izumi is a rather soft spoken boy with a penchant for being a bit of a doormat. He likes to please and goes out of his way to do chores or errands others dont want to do just to be included or to have someone say something nice about him. He is rather gullible and his lack of education allows for the members of the organization to tease or mislead him in order to get something done. This also causes him to be a little bit naive, which is something he is very aware of. He sees everyone around him as a role model and relies on them in order for him to understand what is happening. Hence the reason he follows his group of friends without question. They built his worlds infrastructure. 
Tumblr media
Izumi is a little socially awkward and chooses to be quiet most times, observing conversations at length before actually contributing to get a feel for how he should act in order to fit in. When goaded to speak or give an opinion without preperation he tends to panic and excuse himself, rather than speak his mind without having prepared a response first. That being said this also allows him to be rather funny, usually dropping a perfect subtle joke based on the situation when the conversation gets dull to fully revitalize it.
Background: 
Izumi grew up in Tokyo with his single mother until the age of about five. When his quirk suddenly materialized one day, fire and ambulance had to be rushed to the house. When they arrived they had to subdue the mother and several of her friends who were clawwing at the windows and shrieking, finding a five year old Izumi hiding beneath his bed. It was later discovered that his mom had invited some other mom-friends over for a get-together and she had read a story to Izumi and tucked him in. He had been asleep for while until he had a nightmare about a monster and ran out to his mom terrified there was a monster in his closet. When he called for her and entered the room he met eyes with all in attendance and they were all caught in a group hallucination. Nobody was hurt but it caused Izumi a lot of stress which causes micro-hallucinations to appear in public, such as fire hydrants bursting or things being set on fire. Several times the police had to return to the house because Izumi had accidentally caught someone in a hallucination simply by breaking an egg by accident and feared he'd get in trouble if he didnt clean it up in a hurry. It wore deeply on his mother as it was an almost weekly occurance and Izumi was taken to many specialists in order to try and control his fear and minimize the effects of his quirk on others. Eventually he was pulled from school and schooled at home by a tutor. Eventually though the tutor had to also quit as the stress of answering questions and being tested one-on-one with Izumi caused the same sort of events.
Unable to pay for any more specialists or tutors his mom made the incredibly tough decision to send him to a home for unmanagable quirks called the The Saffron House. 
There he was taken through special care in order to properly adjust him to controlling his stress and try to control his heart beat so that he wouldn't cause so much harm. He was doing incredibly well, he was even allowed out of the home sometimes for dayy or weekend visits with his mom or to go on trips with the other members of the house. The only unfortunate thing about Saffron house is that it also homes children who purposefully mis-manage their quirks. It was here that he met a group of delinquent teens who invited them into their group. This is because one time while watching a horror movie together he entrapped them all in a hallucination where a man with a chainsaw burst through the door. Peril quickly contained his heartbeat but  instead of screaming, everyone was laughing hysterically. Telling him that was the best scare they'd ever gotten. He quickly fell in with the group and enjoyed being accepted for all that he was.
On an outing one day the group tricked him into using his quirk on a crowd of people watching some music preformers just to see what would happen. This quickly caused a mass-hysteria and the event was quickly in complete chaos. That night, the kids all snuck out of Saffron house, knowing that it was only a matter of time until the police tracked them down. The group convinced Izumi to come with them until things calmed down and then they would bring him back. But there never was a day where things were "safe" enough to go back, and whenever he asked his friends if they his home town would be their next stop on their ever changing travel plans, that was the excuse he would get. Eventually they became his family and he was more or less their errand boy. High off of their "fame" from the scene they caused in the downtown preformance, they decided they wanted to do it again. 
When Stain's popularity suddenly went sky-high, they decided to profit off of it by making a name for themselves as well. They enlisted the help of Fumino (Hangnail) and Asuka (Scab), two petty villains they knew operated in the area, to pose as parents to get one of them accepted into UA. Thinking that the League of Villains had never actually gotten INSIDE UA, and that if they could pull something big off, that they could get in easy with them. 
They got ahold of Izumi's actual records in order to doctor them for the applications to UA and found out that while in Saffron house, after the numerous incidents, Izumi's worn out mother had released her parental rights to the home for the unimanigable quirks. Making Izumi a ward of the state. The group then used this to convince Izumi to act as the planted student as they were his only family now, and he was the only one currently young enough to pass as a first year. 
Izumi was accepted into the General course and quickly began to actually do quite well in his studies. All the while keeping a close watch on Class 1-A and in particular, their transfer division. Originally, the plan was to kidnap one of the rich transfer students in order to both get some cash coming in so they can sit pretty and wait for the League of Villains to hit them up, but also to cause an international stir. Therefore, cementing their names in national news. Originally their sights were set on Yun-Yeong, (Miss Diss) but their sights quickly shifting instead to Winston Astley, the American transfer student who was admitted on scholarship due to a nationally syndicated essay. They then simply waited for the right place and the right time.
Tumblr media
The raid on UA: 
During the year, the transfer students would be brought in to coach students wanting to learn English, Izumi, (under the orders of his group) asked Winston for English lessons. Winston accepting only because of how eceoptionally bad Izumi was at English and mainly just enjoying him butcher sentences. He noticed Izumi getting noticably discouraged and would often observe him becoming quiet and reserved and began inviting him along afterschool to have noodles and visit the arcades with Arturo. Izumi appreciating it albiet Winson repeatedly making the point that him moping about at the school would ruin his good time out if he didn't. Soon Izumi was introduced to most of the Transfer students and became a regular face in the dorms. 
It was one day after regular training that Hangnail and Scab came to sthe school, getting in by making a meeting with the teacher about his grades, once inside, they collected Izumi and took him to the training yard where they brought him out infront of the transfer students, simply pushing Izumi off  one of the steps from behind and causing a natural surge of fear whilst they all had eye contact. Locking all of the transfer students in hallucinations. Knowing that they only have a short time to grab Winston and go, Hangnail and Scab go to grab him but are shocked to find Izumi turning his quirk against them, trapping them in a hallucination of the teachers arriving to the rescue. Deciding on his own to simply hold everyone still until the pros could truly come in help. 
This being the first time Izumi purposefully used his quirk he easily overdid it and ended up getting trapped in his own hallucination, realizing after a moment that he could see Winston expiriencing his. Winston spotted him and told him to stay put, not knowing or understandign that what he was expiriencing wasn't real and that this was all just an effect of his quirk. Losing conciousness quickly and unable to explain anything to him, Izumi begins to fall over, to what looks like to Winston anyhow, is falling into a chasm opening up below them. 
Since Winstons quirk is that he gets increased strength equal to the pain he expiriences, he quickly grabs a rock off of the ground and strikes himself hard in the head with it, using the boost to leap the chasm off of his crumbling foothold and grab Izumi just before he falls from his. This prolongs the hallucinations for only a few seconds more until Izumi becomes too dizzy is disoriented to control it and his heart rate slows breaking the effect on everybody. When it lets up Hangnail and Scab take a moment or two to re-orient themselves before attacking, Jin using his sheild intiatially to block the first of the blows while everyone is still coming back to reality. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shortly after the teachers arrive and Hangnail and Scab are forced to retreat using another members quirk to cloak them as they escape. Izumi and Winston sit while the police take statements from everyone and while sharing the police blanket they were given waiting to be questioned, Izumi loses conciousness against Winstons shoulder. 
Tumblr media
When he wakes up he is in a hospital room and immedietly assumes the worst, shocked when Winston comes in and gives him the updates on whats going on and how everyone is doing. Realizing right then that nobody knows that he had anything to do with it and bursts into tears, unable to handle the intense pressure of his secret any more. Winston actually remaining to awkwardly comfort him despite his usual manner of just leabing situations like this. It being the first time he actually comforted somebody without a selfish reasoning. Izumi eventually tells Winston to send the teachers in and to close the door, deciding that he would tell them everything.
After explaining to the teachers and having the police track down the proper records everyone was sort of at a loss as to what to do with Izumi.
He was pulled from classes for a few days until suddenly he appeared again, the teachers having a very careful sit-down with the transfer students to fully explain the situation. Izumi would remain a student in name only at the school so that they can try and establish contact with the group again, if they think nothing is wrong they will try to contact him and they will be lead straight to their hideout. Paloma being the one to overtake the careful surveillance of him to make sure he didn't resume whatever plans the group might come to him with in secret.
Not all of the transfer students are happy about this though and it actually causes a massive rift amongst them. Yun-Yeong completely disowns Izumi and anyone who decides to stick by him, and Eite and Bunta join her in that thinking. Jin doesnt understand enough to pass any judgment and tries to remain neutral but feels the tug between his two closest friends. Monomiya is there to welcome him back with open arms and Winston is hurt but slowly begins to build his trust back up with him again. 
Fast forwards past a bunch of very big events I will expound upon later, the group overcomes this and becomes close once more again, its graduation time and during off season and holidays, Paloma also took in Izumi. On graduation day she handed him his diploma and the adoption papers which had been approved just a few weeks before. Having carefully moulded him into a wonderful support hero.
Tumblr media
Fun Facts: -Wouldn't admit it to another living soul, but having had the biggest puppy-dog crush on Winston following his rescue of him after the UA attack. -He is terrified of Yun-Yeong, not because she is loud or scary, but because of her ability to speak the truth so bluntly, he's afraid he'll be confronted with the idea that he's beyond saving when he sees her. -His favorite food is crab and ramen. Having lived from place to place with a bunch of vagrant teens having gotten himself very accustomed to what makes good and bad ramen. He can actually  name and differentiate most different kinds of ramen as well as a myriad of facts and tipsfor cooking. This is because when his crew would roll into a ramen place, he was usually left out of the conversation, he would either listen to the stories of those close by or would talk to the cooks themselves who would sometimes engage him just because he looked lonely.
-Can sleep almost anywhere because he has slept almost everywhere. The crew was constantly moving from place to place and sometimes you had to make due. One day during pack-up day Jin found him sleeping in between two boxes with his knees to his chest. Having thought he found a dummy at first and. He has also been caught sleeping amongst gym equiptment since the gym supply room is very warm. -During off seasons and holidatys Paloma took him in and he'd have Christmas Dinner and shrine visits with both Miho and Paloma. They even took him to their hometown one year for its Lanturn festival.

Your art is so aesthetically pleasing! I was wondering if you could tell how you draw folds? I mean, how to understand them, I'm terrible at them and look super stiff and unnatural ... if you don't want to, I understand, and I hope I didnt bother you! have an amazing day
Thank you so much! I’m sorry this took me approximately 10 years to answer, you’ve probably mastered clothing folds by now and dont need advice from a pleb like me but!! here i am anyway! The usual disclaimer: I haven’t done a proper study of folds in a loong time, now that I’ve left art school I mainly have been focusing on my own stylized art so I’m pretty rusty. That being said, observation and practicing from life is the best way to learn! It doesnt even have to be clothes (though fashion studies are the best and i realize now I should have done some for this tutorial and I am a fool) but just placing cloths over random objects and drawing them can help you learn how cloth works with different shapes. And since the body is essentially made up of a bunch of geometric shapes, this will translate over to clothing!But yeah, this tutorial is pretty hypocritical since I dont always pay attention to fleshing out folds in my art hehe 
Tumblr media
Let’s start by introducing Blank Slate-chan or Blank-chan for short uwuI’ve given her a Tshirt, and it looks okay but its a little flat. It looks more drawn on then anything.
Tumblr media
Right off the bat, before we even begin to cover folds, we can add some details that make the shirt pop off the character. For instance seams on the collar, shoulders and bottom (though I didnt add any on the bottom in the example) and rolled up sleeves/like those fake rolled up cuffs that are sews on to tshirts can already add depth. Furthermore I’ve added some cast shadow from the oversized sleeves onto the arm, and the shirt separated from her skin at the top so its resting on it rather than looking like it’s part of her body.Seams can be especially important when indicating what kind of fabric or style of a piece of clothing your character is wearing. I find them especially helpful in separating jeans from say dress pants, as well as formal clothes. It helps to observe and thing about how a piece of apparel is sewn together to determine where you want to draw the seams. 
Tumblr media
Okay this mess of arrows is my fault but bear with me ;v; In this portion I’ve now moved on to folds. Before we get into the details of the image, there are 3 forces that affect folds, and you should keep them in mind when drawing. Those forces are gravity, compression, and stretch. I’ve color coded each of these forces, though stretch is not shown in this image.So first off the purple arrows represent the force of gravity. This is always going to be a force on earth and cause folds from handing fabric like in between the chest or at the looser areas of the shirt.Then the blue is compression. I don’t have a good example of it here since I’m drawing mostly lose fabric, but its where the cloth bunches up because its met with two forces moving towards each other. In this (poor) example, the clothes are slightly compressed because Blank-chan’s arms are down, preventing the fabric from extending all the way down. I drew up arrows but its not so much as a force moving up as it is the fabric being caught. A better example of this would be tighter fabric gathered around a joint like jeans around a knee when its bending. If you can visualize that you’ve pretty much got the idea.Honestly, don’t let all this force stuff confuse you! I know I didn’t explain it amazingly, but you kind of get used to was looks more natural as you draw more fabric.And lastly the red arrows are just to point out that you need more than just suggestions of folds. Like the collar of the shirt sitting on the skin, the shirt will bend if there are folds so make sure you draw it sticking out rather than just being flat.
Tumblr media
For the sake of an example let’s give Blank-chan a slightly bigger chest and some tighter clothes. The shirt is a little more formfitting and so it stretches over the chest. Cloth that is stretches usually has folds that are more horizontal or vertical depending on the points of tension. With tighter clothes, more of the anatomy shows through which is why you should always consider what the body is doing underneath. Though this still applies to looser clothing and you should be considering the body, you can get away with anatomical errors more easily which, confession, I do a lot.I prefer wearing and drawing looser clothes, so I’m not an expert on tight shirts and folds. Even this shirt I’ve drawn in this example is pretty loose but you can always change it as you see fit.
Tumblr media
Here’s a comparison of the two without the messy arrows and with some additional shading. Shading can really help define even more shapes and bring depth to the folds, but that falls more under a coloring tutorial so I won’t go into that too much.You can of course exaggerate either of the two examples, either making the clothes a lot looser and adding way more folds or making the fabric tighter and adding more compression folds and showing the form through the clothes. Be careful with adding too many folds though, as it will either looks too crowded or like your character is soaked, unless you’re going for that. 
Tumblr media
And then last few tips that I wasn’t sure where to put. If you’ve notice, a lot of the fabrics I draw tend to look heavier, like sweaters. In this super messy example you can see that adding tons of compression folds and making the fold rounder makes the fabric look heavier. Like wise using maybe more gravity folds and sharper/thinner edges may make the fabric look lighter!When drawing folds I like to use triangles to represent them. I think those shapes tend to look the most natural. Again, you can round those off or sharpen them depending, its all up to you! 
mm, this is a pretty basic tutorial, and there’s lots more information that I could talk about like materials, different styles of clothing, etc etc but I think this is enough to start out with? I hope I helped at least a little and remember that fashion studies are your friend!

12 Stats About best beginner keyboard piano
Correction Appended
On an album of bittersweet childrens tunes that she wrote in excess of ten years back, the woman who came for being recognized only because the piano teacher available what, in hindsight, looks as if an eerie glimpse of her possess long run.
Im going away today to a spot so far away, in which nobody is familiar with my title, she wrote inside the lyrics of the music named Going.
When she wrote that tune, she was youthful and vivacious, a piano Trainer and freelance audio writer who beloved Beethoven and jazz, sunsets and river sounds, lengthy walks and every little thing about New York.
On a kind of beloved walks, by way of Central Park in the brilliant Solar of the June day in 1996, a homeless drifter beat her and attempted to rape her, leaving her clinging to lifetime. After the assault, the words to her music came real. She moved absent, from New York City, out of her outdated life, and all but her closest buddies didn't know her title. To the remainder of the planet, she was — much like the a lot more renowned jogger attacked in Central Park seven several years before — an anonymous symbol of the urban nightmare. She was the piano Instructor.
Now, within the 10th anniversary from the attack, she's celebrating what seems to be her total recovery from brain trauma. She is forty two, married, with a little boy or girl. She is Kyle Kevorkian McCann, the piano Trainer, and she or he would like to tell her story, her way.
Her health care provider informed her it could consider ten years to Get better, and Sunday was that talismanic anniversary. I experience my lifetime has become redefined by Central Park, she reported several times in the past, her voice soft and hopeful. Before park; immediately after park. Will there ever be a time when I dont Feel, Oh, this is the 10th anniversary, the 11th anniversary?
She spoke in her modest ranch property inside a wooded subdivision in a The big apple suburb. She sat in the eating home strewn with toys, surrounded by photos of her cherubic, dark-haired 2-year-outdated daughter. A Steinway grand filled 50 percent the home, and at one particular level she sat down and performed. Her taking part in was forceful, but she appeared embarrassed to Perform more than a few bars, and shrugged, rather than answering, when questioned the identify in the piece. She requested that her daughter and her city not be named.
Tumblr media
She calls that working day, June 4, 1996, the working day After i was hurt.
Hers was the main in the string of attacks by the identical person on 4 women about 8 days. The final victim, Evelyn Alvarez, 65, was crushed to Loss of life as she opened her Park Avenue dry-cleansing store, and finally, the assailant, John J. Royster, was convicted of murder and sentenced to daily life in prison.
But the attack over the piano Trainer could be the 1 folks feel to keep in mind essentially the most. Part of the fascination has got to do with echoes of the 1989 attack over the Central Park jogger. But In addition it frightened individuals in a way the attack on the jogger did not since its conditions ended up so mundane.
It did not happen inside a remote Portion of the park late in the evening, but in close proximity to a well known playground at three during the afternoon. It might have transpired to any individual. The stress was heightened with the thriller from the piano lecturers identity.
For three days, as law enforcement and doctors tried using to learn who she was, she lay within a coma in her medical center mattress, anonymous. Her dad and mom were on holiday vacation and her boyfriend, also a musician, was in Europe, on tour. Last but not least, among her pupils recognized a police sketch and was capable of recognize her in the medical center by her fingers, mainly because her face was swollen past recognition. The law enforcement did not release her identify.
The very last thing she remembers about June four, 1996, is supplying a lesson in her studio condominium on West 57th Road, then putting her lengthy hair in the ponytail and heading out to get a wander. She would not remember the attack, While she has listened to the accounts with the law enforcement and prosecutors.
youtube
To me its just like a reality I figured out and memorized, she mentioned. Like I were being a university student at school finding out historical past.
She isn't going to contemplate the man who did it. I may need been angry for the moment, although not for much longer than that, she stated. How could I be indignant at John Royster? He was declared not insane, but I guess by our standards he was.
Dr. Jamshid Ghajar, her medical professional at Big apple Medical center-Cornell Health-related Center, as it had been known in 1996, instructed reporters that she had a ten per cent chance of survival. Physicians had to remove her forehead bone, which was later changed, to generate area for her swelling Mind. When her mom designed a public appeal to pray for my daughter, hundreds did.
Right after 8 days, she arrived away from a coma, very first in a vegetative state, then in the childlike point out. As she recovered, she slept very little and talked continuously, at times in gibberish. I had been getting mad at men and women every time they didnt respond to these words and phrases, she claimed.
Like an Alzheimers patient, she had little quick-expression memory and would neglect readers when they still left the room.
Around various months, she had to relearn the way to stroll, gown, browse and generate. Her boyfriend, Tony Scherr, frequented every day to Engage in guitar for her. He inspired her to Enjoy the piano, towards the recommendation of her Actual physical therapists, who imagined she can be discouraged by her inability to play the best way she when experienced. Mr. Scherr performed Beatles duets with her, participating in the still left-hand part whilst she performed the correct.
Which was my very best therapy, she reported.
In August, she moved again dwelling to New Jersey, along with her father, an engineer, and mother, a schoolteacher. She frequented outdated haunts and termed pals, making an attempt to restore her shattered memory. I was quite obsessive about remembering, she reported. Any memory decline was to me an indication of abnormality or deficit.
Her therapists believed her progress was terrific, but her two sisters protested that she was not the deep thinker she had been.
youtube
What bothered her most was that she had dropped a chance to cry, as though a faucet within her brain were turned off. One particular evening, nine months after she was harm, she stayed up late to look at the John Grisham Film A The perfect time to Eliminate. Just after her father experienced absent to bed, she watched a courtroom scene of Samuel Jacksons character on demo for killing two Guys who had raped his younger daughter.
The faucet opened, and also the tears trickled down her cheeks. I thought of my mother and father, my father, and the things they went through, she stated. Very little by small, my experience returned, my depth of brain returned.
Urged by her sisters, she went back again to highschool and bought a masters diploma in songs education.
youtube
Not all the things went perfectly. She and Mr. Scherr split up five years after the attack, although they continue to be friends. She dated other Males, but she usually advised them with regard to the attack instantly — she could not support it, she reported — and so they never ever referred to as for just a 2nd day.
We've got to find you anyone, her friend David Phelps, a guitar player, claimed four years in the past, right before introducing her to Liam McCann, a computer technician and amateur drummer. For once, she did not say something about the attack until finally she acquired to grasp Mr. McCann, after which you can when she did, he admired her power.
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, who had frequently frequented her at her bedside while she was inside the healthcare facility, married them in his Moments Sq. Office environment. She wore a blue costume and pearls. Although she was pregnant, inside of a burst of creativity, she and her pals recorded While Had been Younger, an album of childrens songs that she had written before the attack, such as the song Shifting. Her ex-boyfriend, Mr. Scherr, generated the CD. On it, her husband plays drums and she or he performs electrical piano.
Is her everyday living as it was? Not accurately, however she is hesitant to attribute the variations to her injuries. Her previous two piano pupils left her, without contacting to elucidate why, she stated. She has resumed playing classical tunes, but straightforward pieces, for the reason that her daughter would not give her the perfect time to practice. As for jazz, I dont even attempt, she reported.
She want to drive more, feeling stranded inside the suburbs, but she is definitely rattled. She attempts to be material with being residence and caring for her daughter.
Tumblr media
Dr. Ghajar, a scientific professor of neurological surgical procedure at what on earth is now termed New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Clinical Heart, who operated on Ms. Kevorkian McCann after the assault, said past week that her level of Restoration was unusual. Shes in essence ordinary, he explained.
Other authorities, who are not Individually aware of Ms. Kevorkian McCanns scenario, tend to be more cautious.
Regaining the ability to play the piano may include an Virtually mechanical course of action, a semiautomatic remember of what the fingers ought to do, reported Dr. Yehuda Ben-Yishay, a professor of clinical rehabilitation medication at New York College School of Medicine. At the time brain-wounded, you happen to be generally brain-hurt, For the remainder of your daily life, Dr. Ben-Yishay reported. There isn't a remedy, There is certainly only intense compensation.
The more telling A part of a Restoration, in his perspective, is psychological, and on that rating he counts Ms. Kevorkian McCanns relationship and child as a major victory.
For her element, the piano teacher knows she has modified, but she has built her peace with it. I used to be kind of a hyper —— I dont know if I had been a sort A, but I used to be bold, she says. Why was I so formidable? I had been a piano teacher. I dont determine what the ambition was about. I really did return to the person Im purported to be.

City of Stars
A/N Hey there! So wth Dragobete (AKA Romainian Valentines day) coming up, for some reason it has got me in a mood to write a few love stories to get everyone else in a lovey mood. So I was listeing to the La La Land musical? movie sound track (which I am in love with) and I decided to write a Lucifer Morningstar x Reader Imagine bassed off of two (well really one) of the songs which you can listen to here and here Hope you enjoy!
Pairings/ Characters: Lucifer Morningstar x Reader
Warnings: Nothing fam enjoy your fluff :)
Tumblr media
From the momment he saw her walk into Lux, Lucifer knew that there was something there. He felt, what he had heard humans refer to as a spark. Y/N was undeniably beautiful, though not in the traditional sense. She had a more artistic and precise beauty to her. And her voice sounded like the most beautiful musical instrument, soft and gentle. She had walked into Lux, her Y/H/C hair braided in a loose side braid, and a simple knee lenght dress. Compared to the rest of her friends, who dressed in attire Lucifer was all to familer with, Y/N stuck out like a sore thumb.
 Lucifer’s attention was immediatly drawn to her. He waved off the two women who has been fawning over him and made his way accross the loud club. As her friends left to get drinks, Lucifer alked up to her, his heart suddenly beating a million times faster. 
“Well hello there,” Lucifer said, “What may be your name, love?
“Oh hi,” she replied. “Y/N. Y/N Y/L/N. And you?”
“Lucifer Morningstar,” He replied. He glanced at the bar where her friends at gone, only to find them not there. Rather they were having the time of their lives with some random men on the dance floor.
“’Would you like to dance with me?” Lucifer blurted out. He quickly regained his compossure when he saw her shocked reaction. “I only meant.. well you’re alone here. Clubs like this are no fun when you’re alone.”
“Oh I m not alone, I am here with a couple of friends,” Y/N started. “They just went over there to...” She said point o the bar. She stopped when she realized they wern’t there. “Oh... well they are here. Somewhere. I don’t intend on staying.”
“Oh come one Y/N,” Lucifer said. He brought his arm arund her back and rested his hand on her shoulder gently guiding her to the dance floor. He pointed at her freinds. “Your friends are having the time of their life by the looks of it. Come on, just give me five minuetes to change your mind. Then you can decide?” he outstretched his hand, hoping she would take it.
Y/N thought for a second, looking at her friends as they laughed and smiled, dancing with men and women that they didn’t even know. And they were having the time of their lives. She smiled softly and took Lucifers hand.
“Fine but only 5 mineutes.” Y/N said.
“Works for me,” Lucifer said as he guided her to the floor.
Even though it was only supposed to be just 5 minetes , it quickly turned into 10. Then 30. Then 1 hour. As time went by Lucifer and Y/N lost count of how long they danced and talked and laughed. By the time they had finished, mainly out of exhaustion, a good bulk of the crowd including Y/N’s friends had gone home for the evening. 
“So, you’re a Jazz player then?” Lucifer asked her as she took another sip of her water. 
“Yep,” Y/N replied. “I have loved Jazz from the momment my father who by the way played trumpet at a local Jazz club, introduced me to it. I just sort of fell in love with it. The smoothness and the feel of it. Everything about it.”
“I see.” Lucifer said. “So you play trumpet as well I assume?”
“No. Actually I play piano.” Y/N replied. “My mouth is apparently to small to play trumpet. But thats okay. I always prefered Piano anyways.” She tookanother drink of her water.
“So what about you, Mr. Morningstar. Is this all you do?” Y/N asked gesturing to the night club around them.
“No,” Lucifer said. “Actually I work with the LAPD. I am a civilian consultent.”
“Hmm, sounds interesting.” Y/N replied. “Have you caught lots of crimminals?”
“Yes and punished them accordingly.” Lucifer said proudly.
“Ok, I’m going to assume that means you just put them behind bars.” Y/N said. She glanced at her smal watch and almost jumped out of her seat.
“Oh shit! Is it really 3 AM?” Y/N exclaimed. She got up quickly and finished her water. “I’ve got to get home. I have an audition in 6 hours. It was lovely meeting you, Lucifer.”
“Agreed, we should do this again.” Lucifer said with a small smile. 
Y/N blushed softly. She then took out a small piece of paper and wrote down her number and handed it to him. “Whenever convient, give me a call.” she said with a small. The she ran out of the doors of Lux, leaving Lucifers heart soaring.
He sighed contently and had a few of his workers close up Lux as he made his way up to the penthouse. He leaned over the railing of the balcomny and stared into the night sky, which was only illuminated by stars. He stared at the small paper in his hands, a small smile playing at his lips.
Here in his hands, he had a chance at something. Something meaningful and perhaps even wonderful. However he was not a fan of heart break and wasn’t exactly boyfriend material. So why bother? Why was he still holding on to her number when he could easily let it go and move on with his life.
He lookd up to the city and began to whistle to him self, playing with the paper in his hands. Looking put to the city, he sang to himself:
“City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
There is so much that I can’t see
Who knows?
Is this the start of something wonerful and new?
Or one more dream that I can not make true?”
He looked at her number and decided she was worth the risk. He entered her number into his phone, sent her a quick text and allowed the wind to take the small paper out of his hands and into the Los Angeles skyline.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was a year ago. Since then Y/N and Lucifer’s love had deepened and truely sprouted into something wonderful and new. Y/N life had never been better after Lucifer had texted her that night asking when she would be able to see him again.
 Her heart felt like it was soaring high above everyone and everything else, as if nothing to take down this love. Date after date, night after, her and Lucifer grew into something far more deeper and intimate than just love. There was something else there. Something neither of them could pin.
By the time they had been dating for 8 months, Y/N had asked Lucifer who he really was, as she didn’t really believe any parent would name their son Lucifer. And he had trusted her. Enough to show her his true form. And although the initial shock had taken time to get over and understand, it didn’tchange the way Y/N felt about him.
 Lucifer also revealed hat Mazikeen, his bartebder who goes by Maze was actually a demon and Ammenadiel was his brother and an angel. And Charlotte Richards, an attoerny Y/N disliked heavily was actually lucifers mother AKA the mother of all creation. And yet. she had taken all of this infomation in rather well. After that, there was a whole new level of trust between them. One that would be hard to break and even harder to mend if broken.
Y/N walked into Lux, her music bag slung over her shoulder and her Y/H/C hair up in a messy bun. Maze was cleaning the counter behind the bar. Y/N approached her, setting her bag in one of the chairs. 
“Hey Maze,” Y/N greated. “Didn’t expect to see you here. I thpoight you had moved in with Chole last month?”
“I did. Just felt like coming back. Couldn’t stand being around that tiny human any longer.” Maze replied. Y/N nodded, sensing Maze’s dislike for children.
“Oh, Lucifer asked you to meet him in the penthouse. Said he needed to show you something up there.” Maze informed her. 
Y/N was slightly confused but went along with it. She picked up her music bag and began making her way up to the penthouse, bidding Maze goodbye as she did so.

With a pleasent ding the elevator opened, revealing Lucifer sitting at his piano playing a lovely tune. Y/N smiled and watched him for a second. She had always loved watching him play. He just seemed so at peace with everything around him, as if the rest of the world just faded away.
Y/N walked up to him and wraped her arms around his waist and rested her chin on his shoulder as he continued to play. She gave him a soft kiss on the cheek and watched his hands dance on the piano keys.
“I haven’t heard that one before.” Y/N said.
“That’s because I have been writting it for you,” Lucifer replied. Y/N raised her eyebrow. She slid next him on the piano bench at the high end.
“Show me then,” Y/N asked.
“Well I’m not done yet love,” Lucifer Morningstar. 
“Then I’ll help you finish it.” Y/N told him. Lucifer smiled and began to play the tune again. 
“City of stars
Are you shing just for me? 
City of stars
There’s so much that I can’t see
Who knows?
I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you” Lucifer sang stopping on a high, as if to invite her to play. Y/N didnt deny the invitation and began to play on the high end.
“That now our dreams they’ve finally come true.
City of stars 
Just one thing everybody wants
There in the bars
And through the smoke screens of the 
Crowded resturants
It’s love
Yes all we’re looking for is love
From someone else.” Y/n looked to Lucifer, letting him know it was his turn to sing.
“A rush,” He sang
‘A glance,” She countered
‘A touch” 
‘A dance”  They both shared a looked as they played a little louder and cresendoded into the next verse as Lucifers vocals took over, with Y/N joing in where she could..
‘A look in sombody’s eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world and send it reeling
A voice that says I’ll be here and you’ll be alright
I don’t care if I know 
Just where I will go 
Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling
A rat-tat-tat on my heart.” They finished together. 
“Think I wanted to stay,” Lucifer sang as he went back to the original begining melody, Y/N getting off the piano to let him finish it out.
City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars” He sang as he added a trill to the higher note, giving her the last word. Y/N smiled and looked him the eye. 
“You’ve never shined so brightly.” Y/N finished softly.
Lucifer finished the song and looked at her. “So? Did you like it?”
“I loved it,” Y/N said. Lucifer leaned in and stole a soft but passionate kiss.
“Happy anniversary love,” He said.
‘Happy anniversary Lucifer.”

What are some of Mason’s interests? How’d Mason & Derrick meet? :o
Masons a working man. Loves working. His main profession is wood working, specifically building tables, chairs, stools, and occasionally he'll go out to a sawmill to help out around there. He hardly ever comes home from work without it least a little bit of sawdust in his hair
On Mason's days off he likes to relax, maybe do a word search, or he'll read a book. Although he gives off the vibe of a stereotypical manly man, who has little to no interests than work or reading, he does like doing things that, traditionally, wouldn't be seen as big toughguy material.
Oftentimes baking. Loves that shit.
Now how they met. It's a long story so buckle up ig
He met Derrick in the park when Mango was 9 [Derrick was 26, Mason was 28] and they became friends, initially, because Derrick had needed a place to stay for a while and Mason offered that, since his house had 5 rooms and was originally owned by his family. He inherited the house from his mother.
They got along over their shared interest of a specific book author, and would usually discuss the books by this writer when Mango was at school.
There weren't any romantic feelings for a few years. Mason was fine housing a single father and his, at the time, young albeit not human daughter, and not immediately getting with the father. Derrick was focused on making sure Mango would be ready to visit Charleston Labs to interact with the project Robert worked on.
Eventually, when Derrick was 36. [Mango: 19, Admin: 18, Mason: 38] Mango and Admin ran away with Derrick's permission. He knew Admin wasn't safe after it came out she was a clone, and suggested a great place for the girls to run off.
Mason had been there for Derrick to comfort him after Mango left. Derrick was obviously torn and didnt like the idea of his little girl going out into the real world, but thanks to Mason he calmed down.
Since it was down to the two of them, and now Derrick could find a decent paying job, they abandoned the large 5 bedroom house for a nice 2 bedroom apartment since itd be easier to pay off, and they'd be able to live a little more comfortably.
While in the apartment, they talked a lot more about things and grew a lot closer.
It was Derrick who developed romantic feelings first, in the summer of one year. Mason had similar views on things, and he was an extremely caring individual who treated Derrick like the whole world revolved around him. Derrick also appreciated how nice Mason was towards Mango.
Mason developed feelings after the heat went out the winter of the same year. Derrick had taken the opportunity to lay in the same bed as Mason, and held on, mainly for warmth. Mason felt safe with Derrick, and then all those warm, fuzzy feelings you get when you truly care about someone started flooding in.
That next morning while Mason was fixing their heater, Derrick suggested they go out somewhere for dinner. Mason agreed, mainly because why WOULD he deny a potential dinner date?
They went to a nice place. Derrick wore the nicest clothes he owned, and Mason just kind of. knew he wanted to be with Derrick for the rest of his life.
So he asked Derrick if he'd consider the idea of calling himself Mason's boyfriend. The "yes" came out faster than Mason expected.
They agreed marriage wasnt necessary for them to prove they loved each other a lot.
Derrick was 38 when he agreed to be in a romantic relationship with Mason, who was 40 at the time.
Around that same time, Derrick became a grandfather to Moder-Ator, and told Mango after the baby excitement that he was dating Mason.
With Mod being 16 in the modern/main era I draw Admin and Mango in, Derrick and Mason have lasted, being 54 and 56. They still very much love each other.

Looking Back on the LTBCOIN Rewards Program [ad_1]
Hey Folks,
Adam B. Levine right here - With the BAT (fundamental consideration token) within the information just lately, I needed to shed a bit of gentle on the tip of the LTBCOIN Crypto Rewards Program, which many have accurately recognized as successfully an unfunded early pioneer of the BAT idea, circa spring 2014.
Along with Stephanie Murphy and Andreas Antonopoulos, I based the Let's Talk Bitcoin! present in spring of 2013 to speak in regards to the Ideas, People and Projects constructing the Future of Money. Our timing was good and we instantly discovered a following. Riding that wave into the early bitcoin convention scene we spoke with more and more vital early adopters and grew together with the worth.
In the autumn of 2013, I spotted that the opposite two or three prime quality bitcoin podcasts had all died off largely as a result of they weren't capable of collect sufficient of an viewers to warrant the work that went into the present. At LTB we had solved this drawback and the issue we had was not sufficient content material to maintain our customers glad. In December of 2013, I made a decision there weren't sufficient podcasts I used to be thinking about and as a lot as I like listening to the sound of my very own voice it will be higher to have an ecosystem fairly than simply LTB. So on the airplane again from a Las Vegas convention, we put collectively a pilot episode contest soliciting listeners to create and ship in reveals that have been at the very least tangentially associated to cryptocurrency.
The response was overwhelming with 15 or 20 submissions, we picked our favorites however wound up inviting greater than half of the candidates to affix what would develop into the LTB community. In one other article I am going to share our experiences placing the entire community onto AM radio in southern California. For now let's keep targeted.
In the winter of 2013, I wrote quite a bit about and have become fascinated with the concept of group and function particular altcoins or "Meta-tokens", which is what we used to name tokens that piggybacked on a blockchain like bitcoins.
Bitcoin had actually created one thing very (and more and more) worthwhile out of nothing by establishing a system of predictable, long run guidelines which, if adopted, rewarded adherents with one thing that was or is likely to be worthwhile sooner or later. This is a helpful trait for cash, however arguably simply as helpful for something new that's on the lookout for a option to incentivize "work" with no massive up entrance price.
At the time, bitcoin and mainly every little thing else on the market was utilizing this mechanism to reward miners who actually allow the community, validate and course of transactions. I spotted that utilizing a token constructed on prime of bitcoin, we must pay a miners payment per transaction in bitcoin however the token itself, the token we might create known as LTBCOIN may very well be distributed to "miners" who have been doing one thing apart from securing the community and processing transactions.
In the LTBCOIN system, our miners have been Content Creators and the Audience. Over the course of six months we labored out a number of protocols known as Proof of Participation, Proof of Value, and Proof of Publishing.
When we launched LTBCOIN, we locked in place a 5 12 months "Token Creation and Distribution Schedule" that laid out the precise quantities that may be created every week, and what number of of these tokens would go to every "Proof of..." bucket. Depending on how many individuals participated in every bucket, the tokens allotted for that week can be cut up amongst all lively individuals. This meant although we didnt know who can be collaborating at any time, we had a transparent and clear map of what sorts of actions can be awarded every week for your entire run of the mission.
Proof of Participation was for the viewers, anybody might earn LTBCOIN primarily based on their weekly exercise throughout the group. We awarded group members after they commented, posted on the boards, obtained a like on their posts, visited a brand new piece of content material for the primary time, participated in our listener rewards "Magic Words" program, and so forth.
Proof of Publishing (earlier known as Proof of Value) was for content material creators - For each bit of content material posted to the location, every revealed creator would recieve an equal share of the LTBCOIN reward relative to what number of different items of content material have been revealed that week. Here, we needed to incentivize a gradual circulate of content material in order that if we had a sluggish week, the few who participated can be closely rewarded whereas on weeks once we had numerous content material the relative reward per publish can be decrease.
Proof of Quality was our "Reality Based" rewards metric. Where Proof of Publishing simply requested that you just publish content material, Proof of Value waited two weeks after publication, after which appeared on the precise efficiency of every article launched throughout the week lengthy interval and awarded LTBCOIN to content material creators primarily based on how nicely they carried out in contrast with each different piece of content material throughout the week.
With all of those choices, we needed to encourage regular, steady exercise from individuals on the platform and it served that function nicely.
It labored fairly nicely. We constructed a complete content material administration system across the thought (Tokenly CMS) together with many different instruments and ran it efficiently with enthusiastic participation (on the rewards program facet) for a very long time.
The LTBCOIN rewards program was an excellent success, sparked plenty of new considering and vibrant concepts for which I'm immensely proud. It stays the one largest use of non-monetary tokens on any blockchain so far with greater than 171,000 on-chain transactions, though we'll see if that is still true because the ICO frenzy grows. LTBCOIN ran for about three years, concluding in January 2017 when the LTB Network was acquired by BTC Media.
I opted to conclude this system early for just a few causes:
1 - The price of bitcoin transactions for the LTBCOIN rewards program was initially lower than $10 per week, then it grew to become $25, $50, and so forth. The variety of customers collaborating within the rewards program did develop, however our prices, particularly in direction of the tip, grew at a a lot sooner fee. In the final six months we have been paying almost $500 per distribution, and if we had continued to at the moment present costs would have us paying a number of hundreds of to have our LTBCOIN delivered in a well timed vogue.
2 - LTBCOIN was all the time a self, and minimally funded endeavor. LTBCOIN was by no means offered or generated any income for the community, it was solely given away by means of our rewards program. One of the teachings realized is that while you give away one thing without spending a dime, and also you need individuals to worth it, you want to make it worthwhile. This often requires plenty of time or cash, and whereas we put in each money and time, it wasn't sufficient to create the ecosystem we would have liked, quick sufficient.
3 - More than 90% of the overall LTBCOIN provide was distributed within the first three years of the 5 12 months schedule. The final two years have been a lot smaller quantities because the token was supposed to have develop into broadly helpful and worthwhile by that time. Since that did not occur, there wasn't a lot sense in incurring all of the transaction charges for such small quantities of LTBCOIN.
4 - As a part of the BTC Media / LTB Network acquisition, I secured a "conversion event" for anybody holding LTBCOIN, the place they might be capable to swap their outdated tokens for one thing that may give them stake in a brand new mission I have been enthusiastic about since final 12 months. In the world of cryptocurrency, outdated tokens by no means die - They simply get low cost sufficient to get utilized in pump and dump schemes. I hate that. An exit for all LTBCOIN that did not contain higher fools can be one thing basically new that may flip a at the moment ineffective rewards level right into a worthwhile, helpful token run by a funded workforce with a brand new, complimentary mission.
I by no means supposed to create the LTB Network - My expertise and keenness is as a content material creator and experimental innovator. Turning LTB from a present right into a community was not a enterprise determination a lot as an try and foster a nurturing early ecosystem for content material creators, who might and have been producing high quality content material however hadn't discovered my fortunate timing and have been struggling to search out their first thousand followers. In that means, we have been overwhelmingly profitable and have helped foster a group and elegance of cryptocurrency podcast targeted on extra than simply the worth and funding alternative.
What I needed from the community was the flexibility to, because the Editor in Chief of the LTB present, hand off technical enhancing, sponsor relations, promoting revenues, advertising of the present. In the present paradigm, each present does that for themselves and it is wildly inefficient, driving extra podcaster burnouts than the rest I do know of.
So over time, it grew to become more and more, painfully apparent that though I had efficiently launched the community and fostered the group of content material creators, we have been by no means capable of present these worth added companies that I and lots of different podcasters on the community fairly desperately want.
I met David Bailey of BTCMedia.org at our first convention, in San Jose in spring of 2013 - He attended our very first LTB meetup together with a dozen or so different early followers. Later, I watched him rework BTC Magazine from a troubled, legacy print targeted mission right into a helpful, worthwhile flagship internet journal. In Spring of 2016 we began speaking about having the LTB Network develop into their flagship Podcast/Radio platform, with ambitions past the cryptocurrency area of interest and by the winter of 2016 we might come to an settlement that may make the LTB community more and more numerous, helpful and common, with an order of magnitude extra funds getting used to make the community into what it all the time was meant to be.
I am excited to see that the Poet mission has simply launched their alpha, and it appears like extra info will develop into out there very quickly on each the features of the platform, the early integration with the LTB community, and naturally the LTBCOIN to POE swap event, available now
Thanks to everybody who has joined us for the journey thus far, I am happy to say that this isn't the tip of LTB however it's, lastly, the tip of the start.
