My favorite thing ever about Anti-Cosmo and the Head Pixie is that you look at Anti-Cosmo and it's like-
"Oh, this is the stereotypical evil villain who is flamboyant, intelligent, suave, and in control! All the other magical antagonists probably defer to him." And then you actually watch him and he does stuff like-
Throw away his wand
Fly in circles at record speeds
Run away from confrontation
Write with colored pens and change color every sentence
Throw paper airplanes
Crash into things
Throw tantrums
Read comic books
Fly a private jet despite being able to fly and teleport
Keep cows in his castle
Keep a cat in his pocket
Stand on the fancy dining table
Pretend to be a scone
Break character as a scone by running away laughing
Defer to H.P. even in his own castle
Defer to his son even in his own castle
Raise an anti-fairy child with H.P. for some reason that's never explained, but which Jorgen has photo evidence of ?? You raised an anti-fairy with the leader of the Pixies ??
Also, knows H.P. and Jorgen well enough to recognize when Jorgen is actually H.P. in disguise??
And there's H.P. who wears a nice suit, works at Pixies Incorporated in the big city, and talks about puppeting people, so you approach thinking "Okay, this is the strict boss who wants all the paperwork filed. He represents why you shouldn't make deals with fairies because he has all these complicated contracts and he's not going to allow wiggle room. Dull and boring; got it."
But it turns out he likes to-
Go to raves
Sing rap songs
Breakdance
Spin on his head and drill into the floor
Wear flowers
Get drunk
Hang out in the hot tub
Climb on people's shoulders
Build miniature models
Fist bumps and finger guns
Call people "Dude"
Draw skulls on things
Say "Gasp" instead of gasping
Get up from his desk and dance around, announcing in monotone "Go me, go me; it's my birthday"
Listen to someone argue with him and then respond with "No, that's hilarious"
Also fly a private jet despite being able to fly and teleport
Elbow people in the side while teasing them
Feed you pizza by shoving his entire hand in your mouth
Stand right in front of you and prank call you
Wear two hats at the same time
Hop on a flying scooter, announce "The only thing you'll be eating is my dust! Later, dude!" and peace out
Complain too many people like him
Use babies as yo-yos
Also, H.P. won a footrace against Anti-Cosmo?? This man made the conscious choice to run instead of fly and he won!?
And that's not even getting into the cross-dressing or the fact that A.C. and H.P. grab each other and hug when they're scared. 10/10 character design. They are so silly...

✤ Witch Fics ✤
A series of posts with the top five fics of each category by kudos plus five more hidden gems from that category! Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find our other recs here.
- Top 5 H/L Fics -
1️⃣ the school of extraordinary lovers by stylinsoncity / @aliensingucci (M, 191)
"We keep telling the other, I love you and I love you, and we do, though we both know where the knives are." - Laura Van Prooyen
harry is a third-year witch and violinist at Laitswold, the only magical academy in the UK, with dreams of taking on the world, and hopefully breaking the centuries-old curse on his family while he's at it. he does not dream of facing off against his childhood rival and duet partner, but louis is back in town after six years abroad, so that's exactly what happens.
2️⃣ love is divine by stylinsoncity / @aliensingucci (M, 25k)
Being a witch doesn't help when it comes to unrequited love.
3️⃣ Drops of Jupiter by @itsmotivatingcara (M, 121k)
In a small, sleepy town ruled by prejudice, Louis Tomlinson runs his grandmothers shop for the occult. He finds comfort in his tarot cards, his friends, and a dog that he doesn't have room for. He thought the worst he'd have to deal with would be bigotry, until a new sheriff arrives with a headstrong little girl that's impossible not to fall in love with.
But what happens when a string of break-ins leads to a brutal attack, and the towns' darling is murdered right under their Sunday hats? A murder that just so happens to bear the same modus operandi as similar homicides in neighbouring states. Has the killer been circling Virginia, or is he a local of Lavender Hills?
And what will Louis do when the charming Sheriff Styles starts to suspect him of such a heinous crime?
4️⃣ What Good Are The Stars Above by ultravioletInk (M, 68k)
A gratuitous alternate universe where Harry is more interested in the Slytherins than a Gryffindor Muggleborn has any right to be, Louis has settled into his preordained role, and Liam just really wants to get his friends through their final year of Hogwarts without accruing any casualties.
5️⃣ House of The Rising Sun by @itsmotivatingcara (M, 101k)
“It wasn’t me.” Louis said after they’d walked a block in silence, Harry glanced over in surprise but this time Louis didn’t meet his eyes, instead looking ahead. The moonlight cast shadows under his striking cheekbones, and not for the first time, Harry thought he was eerily beautiful - though immortality would likely have a hand in that. “It was supposed to be, but I got caught up in something else.”
“Something more important than murdering a witch” Harry snarked, “Will wonders never cease.”
He felt Louis’ irritation before he spoke again, “Careful, little lamb.” He murmured.
Little lamb.
Harry despised the nickname Louis had given him when they’d first met nine months prior. Little Lamb to the slaughter, Louis had said mockingly.
Or The Originals AU that no one asked for.
HIDDEN GEMS:
💎 A Spell and A Spark by @dinosaursmate (T, 73k)
“We have something to tell you.” Louis’ eyes slowly looked around the room. He frowned at the absence of anyone else. “We? Who? You and the cat?” Louis scoffed. “Yes.” Louis glanced at Niall, unimpressed. The black cat was looking at him quizzically. “Right. Well, spit it out, Mum.” “There’s no easy way to tell you this, so I’m just going to say it.” She took a deep breath. “You’re a witch.” --- Louis is a teenage witch, living and attending university among mortals. He has to keep his secret whilst studying on both his degree and his witch's licence. His friends don't suspect a thing, even as spell after spell goes awry.
💎 Spinning Out Waiting for You by amomentoflove / @daggerandrose (M, 18k)
Harry Styles is a year and a half away from graduating with a masters in potions and he has one huge milestone to reach in his academy career: the Matching Ceremony.
From Halloween night until graduation, matched witches and familiars will have to create a talisman to be a physical representation of their bond. One for the witch and one for the familiar. Most pairings last an entire lifetime.
If only it were that simple.
💎 Just Your Jinx by @larryatendoftheday (T, 10k)
Harry Styles may or may not have accidentally jinxed his extremely fit new neighbor, and it's not so easy to make things right.
💎 Babe, There's Something Lonesome About You by patdkitten / @babyarcanacasey (M, 8k)
Louis is a hedge witch, who lives a lonely, solitary life. He's quite happy with his shop in Door County, selling New Age magics to the tourists. He also has his cats and his birds to keep him company. But his best friend Liam thinks he needs someone around, and he's got just the person: Liam's friend Harry is coming to the area for the tourist season and since Louis has all this space....
💎 Cookbooks and Toothpicks and One Lizard by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (G, 3k)
If there is one thing that Harry hates about Halloween, it’s what a spectacle everyone suddenly makes around him.
Sure, he loves his friends, but he really wishes that this one, singular day of the year they could all just be chill. It’s as if for 364 days they forget what his profession is entirely, and then all remember at the same moment on the morning of October 31st. Oh yeah! I have a friend who is a witch! I should reconnect with him on this particular day, I’m sure he’s not already got plans of any kind!
Well not this year. This year he's going to the library.

Hey! The steam sale is going on now for another day as I make this post and I’ve gotten a few games from it and liked quite a bit of them and wanted to give them a shoutout! So here’s a list of some games that aren’t $50+ AAA games
Links to games on steam are in the title:
ABZU: This game is an experience. It's not very long, but it does take some time to get used to the underwater controls. If you've played journey it's very similar and very pretty
Bastion: Supergiant's first game and it's wonderful! You are in a post-apocalyptic world playing as 'the kid' trying to find other people in the ruins. The soundtrack (like every other Supergiant game) really sticks with you too.
Cat Cafe Manager: A cute cafe game where you build a cafe, serve the customers, and get to know a few of the locals! You can also help stray cats find a new home. It caught my attention more than I thought when I played it.
Celeste: This game is a wonderful platformer. Difficult, but will help you if you need it. You play as Madeline who is determined to climb Mt Celeste no matter what, and face herself in the process.
Chicory A Colorful Tale: This game is so unique and charming. You play as a little dog who is the janitor to the Wielder of a magical brush that brings color to the world. One day the color vanishes without a trace it you become the Wielder and journey to try and find the source of the problem.
Cozy Grove: A beautiful calming game where you play as a spirit scout who is sent to the island of Cozy Grove to ease the spirits bound to it by helping them out in their day to day life. This game is meant to be played in short bursts daily and will only give you a certain amount to do at a time, but there is no penalty for missing a day.
Darkest Dungeon: Note: this game is difficult. A turn based RPG with a distinct style. This is a game where your choices will matter and you must lead a band of adventurers into dungeons for treasure. Every choice will have a consequence and random events will happen when you least expect them. Prepare as much as you can.
Dorfromantik: A lovely little puzzle game where you have a select few hexagonal tiles and try to make them last as long as you can by fulfilling little quests included with some that give you more tiles to place.
Graveyard Keeper: A game where you are transported to a strange place and have to upkeep the local graveyard while trying to find a way home. The game can be a little vague in explanation so a guide/wiki to help out is recommended.
A Hat In Time: This game turned out to be one of my favorite games I played. It's a 3D platformer where you play as Hat Kid who lost all her hourglasses to fuel her ship to go home! You must travel to different places and do different quests and beat bosses to win back hourglasses. If difficulty is what you are looking for the seal the deal DLC is fantastic(both DLCs are really good.)
Inscryption: Also one of my favorite games now. A rogue-like(map changes every time you die) card game where you build your deck on the go. Loads of cards and abilities plus..and interesting mystery surrounding the cabin you are trapped in. This card game is more than it seems. If you find yourself loving the card gauntlet, Kaycee's mod is worth checking out it has even more cards and challenges.
Little Witch In The Woods: Cute little game where you play as a witch who misses her train and ends up in a mysterious place where she finds an abandoned witches house and is itching to make some potions. Collect ingredients, help out the locals, and explore the forest.
Megaquarium: A pretty straightforward game where you build aquariums! Easy to get the hang of while still being pretty extensive in what you can do.
Mini Metro /Mini Motorways: These two games are little puzzle games where you build pathways for trains/cars and see how long your infrastructure can last through daily commutes! Very relaxing and tricky at the same time.
Monster Sanctuary: A monster catching metroidvania(maze-like map where you find items to open up more areas.) You start as an aspiring monster keeper who is finally facing the trails of the monster sanctuary. There are over 100 monsters to fight and collect and many beautiful areas to explore!
Outer Wilds: A game where the less you know going into it the better. You play as a new astronaut setting out on their first flight mission. There are plenty of mysteries to solve.. and plenty of ways to die.
Parkasaurus: Another park builder game but this one is dedicated to dinosaurs!
Poly Bridge: This game asks you what sort of bridge does it take for this vehicle from point A to point B, but you only have a limited amount of materials.
Pyre: Supergiant's third game that I feel slips under the radar. Its a visual novel that has breaks with some fast paced underground sports. Very gorgeous and the characters are lovely. Definitely worth the play if you are interested.
Slime Rancher: This game you may have heard of but I love it so much so I want to give it a mention. It's very pretty and there are multiple areas to explore and plenty of slimes to collect and even combine. (part 1/2)

Hey! Could you do a headcanon for Keanu Reeves' characters, where the (female) reader is like Nimona, in terms of powers and personality?
If not that's ok!
Thanks!
Headcanon for Keanu Reeves' Characters with a Nimona-like (Shapeshifting powers and a bit of a playful personality) Reader: A/N: Ended up doing some homework for this one, lol. I really liked Nimona's character so this was really cute. I did my best and I hope you enjoy :)
Tumblr media
John Wick: John Wick couldn't believe his eyes the first time he witnessed your shapeshifting abilities. It was during a mission where he found himself in a tight spot, and that's when you showed up in your badass glory. He had heard whispers about someone who could change their form at will, but nothing prepared him for the sight of you seamlessly transforming from a black cat to a wolf and then into a hawk in a matter of seconds. To John, your personality was a perfect match for your powers. You had that same unyielding determination that John had, but you added a touch of whimsy and playfulness to his stoic demeanor. You loved to mess with your targets by taking on absurd or terrifying forms, keeping them on their toes. John couldn't help but be amused by your antics, even in the direst situations. Together, you formed a formidable duo, combining his legendary gun-fu skills with your shape-shifting prowess. Your teamwork was unmatched, and the criminal underworld learned to fear both John Wick and the enigmatic shape-shifting partner who toyed with their expectations.
Tumblr media
Ted "Theodore" Logan: Bill and Ted were used to strange things happening, but when they met you, it was a whole new level of weird. With your shapeshifting abilities, you could turn into any historical figure or famous musician at the drop of a hat. You were always up for crazy adventures and loved to jam with Bill and Ted on their wild time-traveling journeys. With your remarkable shapeshifting talents, you seamlessly became a substitute for Ted whe he wasn’t confident about a crucial history test. Your mimicry of Ted's mannerisms and speech was so uncanny that even Bill couldn't tell the difference so taking the test would be no problem. Ted couldn’t thank you enough for helping him like that.  Your free-spirited, playful nature meshed perfectly with Ted's outlook on life. Together, you created a most excellent, time-traveling band, bringing music and laughter to every era you visited.
Tumblr media
John Constantine: John Constantine's expertise in dealing with demons and the occult made him a formidable force. His life was filled with danger and darkness until he encountered you. Constantine was no stranger to the supernatural, but your abilities were a new kind of magic that intrigued and perplexed him. Meeting you on one of his occult investigations, he couldn't help but be impressed by your capacity to turn into different creatures. With your ability to shapeshift at will, became a mysterious and unpredictable ally in John's battle against the forces of darkness. Your transformations often surprised him, but he quickly learned to appreciate the unique advantages you brought to your dangerous encounters. Your playful personality was a refreshing contrast to Constantine's brooding demeanor. You'd change into various forms to distract John when he was particularly stress, getting a much needed laugh out of him. Over time, John Constantine found himself drawn to your free spirit, even though he'd never admit it. Your ability to bring a little chaos into his world made him question the constant darkness that had shrouded his life. Together, you faced the horrors of the supernatural realm, and your shapeshifting powers and fearless nature added a touch of whimsy to your relentless fight against the unknown.

score a date | l. jn.
how the captain of the hufflepuff quidditch team managed to score a date with a certain ravenclaw.
tags: hogwarts!au; hufflepuff!jeno x ravenclaw!reader; fluff; tiny bit of angst if you squint
note: another self indulgent piece that has been burried for months in my drafts😀 this one's a short one but the amount of plot holes makes me want to bang my head against a brick wall lol. no warnings besides inconsistent grammar and tenses.
so, lee jeno
everyone took one look at him and thought he'd be sorted into gryffindor
they may or may not saw him telling haechan to stop annoying renjun and smacking haechan for annoying him, so-
but the sorting hat sorted him into hufflepuff
his parents said it make sense that he's been sorted into the house
he's a hardworker and is loyal to the ones he's close with
he doesn't really seem to be ambitious, but he actually is!
he just doesn't chase after it like slytherin!haechan
the professors adore him
he's always offering them his help
not to gain their favor or save face but purely because he's just that kind
"professor sprout, let me carry that bag of soil for you"
“professor flitwick, do you need some help distributing the feathers?”
snape has kind of a soft spot for him since jeno came early most days for his potions class just to help set the cauldrons
when he doesn't have quidditch practice or urgent tasks he'd even stay behind to clean them sometimes
but of course snape would rather die than admit it
his friends told him to join the tryouts for the quidditch team on their second year as a joke
jeno: okay (.◜◡◝)
but he really got in
becomes hufflepuff team's beater along with the third year lucas
got chosen as the team captain in his fourth year by the hufflepuff head boy, taeyong, before he graduated
he's just THAT good
we all know he loves animals
so it’s natural that he takes care of magical creatures as his elective
and excels at it
even though everyone says hagrid kind of sucks at teaching
he’s sad that he couldn’t see the thestrals though
also it's not all weird that jeno wants to become an animagus
that's why he works extra hard in transfiguration
and mcgonagall loves him so🥴
people thought jeno is all brawns and no brain
but his grades are almost all outstanding
with some exceeded expectation and a couple of acceptable
he's quite smart actually
is dubbed as the 2nd cedric diggory because he’s handsome, athletic, and smart
but of course being friends with the dreamies, it’s chaotic sometimes
he's been slytherin!jaemin's friend since they were kids
but somehow became quite close with ravenclaw!renjun ever since he helped him to deal with slytherin!haechan back in their first year
and he shared a train car with slytherin!haechan on their first day
haechan loves bothering jeno, but became fast friends with him because they have the same tastes in games
everyone at hogwarts know them as the dreamies
a group of girls likes them and call them dreamies because they're "dreamy"
very original
but they don't mind being called that so-
when you see one of these four, the other three wouldn't be too far behind
although they have quite different tastes and interest, they get along well
jeno has this friendly rivalry with haechan over their quidditch games
they bicker a lot, but haechan would be the first one to defend him if someone speak ill of him
no one does
doesn't take muggle studies, but would get muggle music recommendations from jaemin who took it
and sometimes you can hear him humming along the latest muggle music
hangs out with renjun if he wants to relax and just enjoy the day
renjun invites him to paint together once every few weeks
and he thinks that it's nice he's friends with renjun because he'd make them do their homework together
doesn't really go to the library except for rare study times and looking for his cat
he doesn't read the school's rule book but he's pretty sure students can't bring their pets to the library
but his cat can be quite mischievous and would disappear often
sometimes she'd be walking next to him one second and gone the next, following merlin knows what
his cat is probably still very curious of the place since he's only got her last year
and that brings us to you
you are one of the smartest ravenclaw in your grade
some even said that you're the brightest student in hogwarts after the legendary hermione and doyoung, the ex ravenclaw prefect and head boy that graduated a few years ago
of course you're smart, your muggle iq test could attest to that
but you always pair it with hard work
although people do call you snobby sometimes just because you wouldn’t do their homework for them
it pisses you off sometimes because you declined because you sincerely want them to learn!!! and be able to use the knowledge in the future!!!
you don’t mind though
bc being smart has its perks, like how people won’t bother you being a half-blood
and somehow the professors doesn’t mind that you don’t use a quill to write
except for snape
you’re used to the muggle world so pens and pencils are more convenient
but just for compromise, you use a fountain pen your father got you instead
anw
you were trying to get your homework done before supper, opting to do them in the quietness of the library rather than the currently crowded ravenclaw common room
jaemin somehow got into the ravenclaw common room and is currently on a raging whining spree bc the house elfs in the kitchen won’t give him coffee with 8 shots of espresso in it
you can hear it across the common room
at least the library is always quiet
so there you are quietly working through your homework in your favorite corner in the library; where it was quite hidden from madam pince and always got just the right amount of sunlight whenever the weather's nice
you’ve been at it for quite some time so you’re stretching your body
and then you feel a furry thing rubbing against your legs
you don't know whose cat she is
but she often follows you in the halls when she manage to escape from the dorms
and somehow slips through the unpleasant madam pince
but she appears quite often these days
at first she'd be sniffing you
and then she started curling up near your chair
when she found you again after not seeing you for a few days, she begins rubbing herself against your legs, asking for rubs
and proceeds to make herself at home on your lap
you just let her be
and continue doing your homework while occasionally caressing her fur
it's been a few weeks of this happening but you still haven't found out who her owner is
but one day you were just doing your homework as usual with the cat curling on your lap
and you hear a rather loud sigh nearby
"bongshik, there you are!"
you look up and
there stood lee jeno
of course you know who he is, but it's not like you know him
you know that he's doyoung's favorite junior ever
and currently said to be one of the best quidditch players in hogwarts
and he and his group of friends got enthusiastic following
but being in the same house as his friend and mutual friends, you feel like you know him already
you hear things about him quite often bc you're friends with jaemin and renjun
and jaemin sometimes boasts that he has couple items with jeno
not to mention they almost go everywhere together
like twins
some of the professors even got their names mixed up sometimes
but now jeno's alone and is staring at his cat curled up in your lap
"oh, is this your cat?"
"yes," he sigh, "i've been looking for her everywhere"
you handed the cat over as he come close
"sorry if she's been bothering you"
you stroke her head and she purrs in content
"it's alright, she's just been keeping me company. she's a sweetheart"
well that's a surprise
because bongshik isn't really a super friendly cat
it even took like a week for her to get comfortable with jaemin, who's been friends with jeno since they were kids
"she must really like you then."
after that, whenever he realize bongshik's gone missing, all he had to do was find you
because wherever you are, bongshik's probably trailing after you
even when you're not in the library
one time jeno was just about to eat supper when he spot his cat walking in the great hall
but instead of walking to him, her owner, bongshik walked to you
when exam season's coming up, you find yourself holed up in the library almost every day
and jeno, who's always looking for his cat, found bongshik curled up next to you every. single. day.
and somehow, he got lazy of worrying and finding his cat
besides, it's getting closer to exam season
so he starts doing his homework with you in the library
he does it almost every day that he got questioned by his friends
when his friends learned that he's been holed up in the library, they weren't exactly surprised
because jeno's probably the smartest out of them
but they know there's something else going on
bc even though jeno's really smart and he likes to read books on his own,
he's not the type to stay in the library for long periods of time nor every single day
like he's been doing for the past week
so haechan-
being the mischievous little shit he is
persuaded renjun and jaemin to spy on jeno one day
even though jaemin refused and told him to let him be
and well oh well
they found out he's been hanging out with you
jeno thought you'd be teased endlessly by haechan and instinctively lied
"oh they're just helping me with some tricky spell for charms! anyway, thanks, y/n!"
you two weren't that close but it kind of hurt that he doesn't want his friends to know that you two were friends
if that's what the two of you are
anyway
somehow jeno's lies of you helping him with homework got around school
and now you have a few people asking you for help for theirs
you told them you'd gladly help them as long as they don't make you do them
so now even some underclassmen come to you for help
quite a lot that you had to make a time-dedicated study groups
"well it'd be nice to get paid for teaching you guys, a sickle for each session wouldn't hurt"
you really said it as a joke
but some underclassmen really paid you for your help and it spurs the others to do the same
but even as you decline to take their money, they somehow managed to slip it into your bag or intentionally left it behind near your work station
your favorite underclassman gryffindor!jisung even snuck in a few candies to the library for you
ever since you managed to turn tour tutoring sessions into a small 'business', of course you see jeno less and less
but you two still greet each other in the halls
and library, whether when he's looking for bongshik or just doing his homework
one day you were running late to your session
jeno was seated not far from where you usually do it
and heard some of the girls in it talking about you
"merlin, if i'm not failing in charms and defense against dark arts, i wouldn't have to ask y/n for their help."
"yes well, i had to act like i like them just to get into the tutoring session too. what a inconvenience."
"they even charge us for this! other people doesn't even charge and just help us with it"
"yes, she's such a bitch too. you know she refused to help at the start? and now she only do it because of the money"
it's not really his business
but he feels annoyed and kind of riled up to hear them talking bad about you
and he really heard from jisung how you always declined their money and how you were just joking about the fee
but people just paid you nonetheless and eventually you were too tired to decline because they kept insisting
jeno's annoyed and packed his things
he'd rather do the rest of his homework in his dorm than here with their chatter
but when he passed the shelves behind the tables, he saw you
standing there clutching your books
merlin, you must've heard them
but you just sucked in a deep breath and forced a smile
even greeting him before coming over to the designated tutoring spot and apologizing for running late
somehow the sight of it makes his blood boil even more
and admiration, really, because of how kind you are
the next time you saw jeno again was before his match when the crowded halls made you two bump into each other
"oh, i'm sorry!"
"sorry!"
"oh- it's you."
"i- yeah. hey. how are you?"
jeno mentally smack himself for sounding stupid. as if he doesn't know you, as if he didn't spend time with you for weeks in the library. as if the thoughts of you don't plague his mind
somehow he developed a crush on you
and now he's gonna make himself look stupid
you shrug, "eh. so so. kind of busy because of the tutoring though."
you eye his quidditch uniform and the broom clutched in his hand.
"match day?"
"yeah." he hesitated before asking you, "you coming to watch?"
you tilt your head in confusion, "me?"
oh hell, he is in so deep for you. how could you look cute looking confused like that.
jeno feels his ears warming
"well, i am talking to you, aren't i?"
you raise your eyebrows in surprise.
"huh."
now it's his turn to be confused, "what?"
you just shake your head and laugh
"didn't know you could sound like a jock, lee."
"come on lee!"
his teammates are waiting for you at the end of the corridor. lucas are wiggling his eyebrows at the two of you with a teasing smile. haechan, who have somehow blend in with his team, shoots him a teasing look
as if to say 'mhm, i knew you liked her'
jeno ignored them and turns to you instead
"so will you come?"
"mmmm, i dont know. what if you suck?"
you teased
well- you know you are kind of flirting rn but ssssttttt
jeno's eye light up in amusement
and challenge
"you gonna give me anything if i win?"
you shrug nonchalantly, well- tried to, "i think you already have everything you want, captain. don't think i can give you anything else satisfactory."
a smile tugd the corner of his lip
"what about a date then?"
your eyes snapd to his in surprise.
"i- you... date? what?"
"yeah. a date. with me. next hogsmeade trip?"
you gape at him stupidly, "you want to go on a date with me?
he laughs, "well, i wouldn't be asking you right now if i wasn't."
"hurry up lee!"
his teammates roars. although some did snicker when haechan made kissy face at the two of you
"so, what do you say?" he keeps his eyes on you
"you want me to say yes?"
"badly."
a shy smile tugs your lips
hell jeno would take haechan's relentless teasing any day if it meant you'd give him that smile again
you steel yourself and look at him in the eyes
"then i guess you better win, captain."

I apologize for not posting about Malorn Ashthorn in like three months SO 👏🏾
Here are some small ☠️Malorn Ashthorn headcanons☠️ I came up with like three weeks ago but didn't post until now because of mental illness 💖💖💖
Malorn frequently talks to himself/thinks out loud without even realizing he's doing it. Something that really helped him with his job was being more descriptive and elaborative with his words and demonstrations so that his students could easily follow along with what he teaches them. It's a little out of his comfort zone, since as a person Malorn is more of a listener than a talker, but if he gets into it Malorn has a lot of fun with his lessons and enjoys delving into the subject matter more.
Malorn fiddles with his hat a lot. You can tell he's embarrassed if he huffs and tips it downward and runs his fingers along the hem. He also really likes the bells on the ends and will absentmindedly jingle them from time to time if he's in a bit of a mood.
One of the only students Malorn has a true affinity with even during his teaching career is Ceren Nightchant. He was an enjoyable peer when they were both child prodigies in Ravenwood together and due to Ceren having certain permissions from the Headmaster because of his immensely powerful Life magic (hc that Ceren was the Headmaster's errand boy before the wizard 🥲), Ceren is the closest Malorn can get when it comes to feeling equal with a peer. The adults are too old and his students are his students so having someone his age, who's also a good friend, who also understands the pressure of being perfect, who also can match his power level is a godsend to Malorn. He and Ceren still go out for lunch and break times whenever they can.
Malorn is secretly jacked. He only looks scrawny until he actually does this 💪🏾 and you can see and feel the muscles that's as hard as a stone table. Malorn was actually the one who cleaned up some of the debris (boulders, large planks of wood) surrounding the Death school when Ambrose was neglecting to do so himself.
Malorn claps a lot. Whenever he comes up with an idea, when he remembers something, or when he's excited, it's one loud CLAP. He scares people.
Speaking of being scared! Malorn does not scare easily.
Outside of Death, Malorn's favorite school is Life. That may be cliche but Life magic gives him a feeling he's missed for a while that he doesn't feel otherwise: being cared for. He loves to give but his position as a school professor, a DEATH school professor feels a bit more of a thankless job on some tough days. Life magic is a bit of an escape for him, and Malorn can feel as if he's giving without hurting himself in the process.
Malorn has an irrational fear of Fire and Storm magic. He does not like destruction. He realizes on the inside that this is irrational, and that there is much more to these magics than simply breaking things, but Malorn can help but jump at a crack of loud thunder or an accidental spark in his classroom.
Malorn is a bit of a people pleaser. He doesn't like to see people upset, or fighting, and making people happy means that it's safer for him and everyone else involved. It makes him feel good when people are happy. He's not completely spineless (he's had to deal with some tough students in his care after all), but Malorn has to swallow back some things he'd truly like to say more often than not. He says, "Okay, then!" and, "I'm doing fine!" much more than he says the opposite.
Malorn is a cat person! He loves dogs too, but he prefers cats. He has a winged catastrophe pet named Cleopatra that visits his house every night for dinner.

Tumblr media
An image of what seems to be the main cast for Wonderful.When it comes to the little bit of details being expressed so far it's a mix of weirdness but I generally have a good feeling over the upcoming season's theme and execution.The main idea is showing us that our leading Cure is actually a dog who gains the ability to transform into a human girl and of course a Pretty Cure.I can excuse her name being Cure Wonderful thanks to that,if anything thanks to the pun it might be better off calling her Cure Wan-Derful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For past experiences her voice actor has taken credit for that's a character I know she's supposed to be Kanna from Dragon Maid.So using that for reference this isn't her first time dealing with what I think can classify as "Shapeshifter".Her dog genetics also say she's the Papillon breed which being more of a cat person I don't really have much experience to but a page on the American Kennel Club website did provide some handy statistics that might be worked into her character.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As I said already the naming scheme for the initial Cure Status Quo feels a bit weak compared to the motifs of previous seasons but I can excuse that when your team leader is an actual dog most of the time.
Bringing us to our next most major Cure we have a bit more info on,Iroha Inukai aka Friendy.Her name in magical girl form is likely rooted to how dogs get referred to as "Man's Best Friend".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Design-Wise I'm not quite sold on her default outfit and hope the fashion she'll get later on(When the seasons change or similar) and I think the hat would look better if it covered her whole head rather than being a tiny thing on the side.Her voice apparently being who does Anya [Forger] among a few other characters makes me really want her to be worthy of my ever expanding list of favorites and shows this isn't her first time being a magical girl or dealing with a weird dog.
Similar to the season we're closing off on we don't have true details for Nyammy and Lillian but it isn't too hard to put the clues together.
"Nyammy" contains Nya which is how Japan tends to express what English would call "meow".There is a white cat named Yuki present along with her owner,Mayu Nekoshiyama.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pink ribbon placements sort of remind me how Blake concealed her cat ears in the first volumes of RWBY.With how order is place in the quartet Yuki is going to be the one who transforms first followed by her owner.Not too sure how much of a time skip this will be in the grand scheme but the little bit of info presently given on Mayu says she recently moved into the town."Lillian" might also be an odd choice of name considering the limited knowledge at the moment for it's a name that seems rather human instead of descriptive or constructive(Then again,Laura just used her last name) and seeing the meaning of it as a girl's name it's supposed to give a sense of peace and passion but at the same time it's based on lily flowers...Which I have seen several informative sources say are HIGHLY TOXIC TO CATS and it might be very telling that a cat is possibly implied to have assisted in her owner's Cure name.
Our last duo in the visual is currently more for the hypothetical theories right now than outright stated from initial visual choices.If it's going the way they're wanting us to think they're who I am really pinning the money on.
Tumblr media
Glasses Boy is Satoru Usayama while his bunny's name is Daifuku
The former is definitely hinting to have a lot of those marks I said I'd want for a male cure successor for Tsubasa:
Classmate to one of the main characters(So he does attend the school)
Outfit hints he's going to fill the niche of the yellow/orange/gold member to the team
Ends up needing to be a secret keeper about the girls' being Pretty Cure
If he keeps his glasses or they turn into a monocle when the time comes and everything checks out that's perfection in my book.In regards to his rabbit...
Tumblr media
Apparently that's one brave bunny not that I can read that going by the facial expression the first impression is giving.Need to wait for the show proper to truly see the loppy lapin in action.
Now for the final shreds of detail that more-or-less are "public"...
Tumblr media
Whatever role these animals will be serving they very much seem a bit like an extended cast including recolors of the animals from Healin' Good
Tumblr media
Lastly is our first shot at one of our monsters of the episode which this time around are starting out with the name of "Garugaru"
This might very well be best viewed as the Pretty Cure spin on some subject matters Animal Detectives Kiruminzuu dealt with and all we have to do is wait for the fourth of February to see it start to unfold

Plz tell me all about your dunmesh party!!! Also can I try to draw some of them???
OF COURSE YOU CAN?? I'D BE HONOURED!! and they're actually all sonas! came about in an aggie voice call. there is a little bit of lore though let me remember it-
basically the gist of things is that they venture into the dungeon to aquire. erm. "monster and adventurer stock". which is totally normal and moral and definitely doesn't involve hacking limbs off of living or dead bodies.
i think there was a bit of stuff on each of us if i can remember it? i'll put that under the cut
top left: mine! he's a tall-man. mainly does a lot of melee fighting and survivalist stuff (would definitely know his way around a monster cookout and freak biology autism session too), but his competence is nerfed by an insanely stupid lack of impulse control or concentration. has definitely died the most times. also, we decided the dungeon meshi equivalent of contact lenses would be a spell that enhances vision but comes with the drawback of keeping your eyes open unless you conciously make an effort to close them. so not only does he have my freaky predator stare he definitely sleeps staring at you.
top middle: goober's (@liverteeth)! dwarf who specialises in healing magic, but she tends to use it less for helping people and more for uh. body horror fucked up science medical malpractice. they and my guy are definitely the most invested in the "party business", so to speak.
top right: cam's (@craftycalico)! tall-man/beast-man (calico cat), if i remember correctly they were going to be mainly specialised in tracking and trap-laying, in a very classically ranger sense. a lot of experience with the outdoors.
bottom left: term's (@t3rm1n0s)! half-foot who TRIES to specialise in elemental/combat magic, but considering as far as i remember half-foots don't have a whole lot of mana, he'd probably just. blow himself up lmao? the weird little propellor hat twig thing could be some sort of monster parasite that helps with that, though. regardless he's excellent emotional support! height-stunted heart of the party.
bottom middle: andy's (@bandy-andy)! kobold weaponsmith and the party muscle! he actually doesn't care at all about the party's limb-hacking deal and just tags along with them to use the chance as an excuse to study dungeon architecture, which he has a vested interest in, and otherwise wouldn't be able to study venturing into the dungeons on his own.
bottom right: ari's (@arieava)! half-elf who ACTUALLY acts as the party's cleric in a more traditional sense. specialises less in healing the body though and more in spiritual protection and rituals. not super sure about the whole limb-hacking thing but he's kind of in too deep at this point.
i think that's everything i remember but i might've recalled something wrong in which case one of these freaks i have tagged will maybe beat the shit out of me. OH WELL! anyway. chaotic evil ass failparty let's be honest here.

Badly Summarizing Njnjago
Season 2 Rewrite Edition
TW: SUICIDE ATTEMPT MENTION
the sentences are surrounded by "—"
stay safe :]
"The Ninja" work mininum wage while Meow and Gandalf motorbike off into the sunset. The Devil forces the sneks to work for him, and the snek leaders don't like that, so they try to kidnap Trauma Child. Don't worry, with the magic of ✨️plot convenience✨️, Gandalf and Meow save Trauma Child, and "The Ninja" all get fired. The Devil uses magical lava goop to turn the weapons into a Big Gold Stick-Thing. "The Ninja" meet Brownie, who owns a dojo, and beats Brownie up so they can train there.
The Devil summons pirates, evil Ninja doubles, and a Grundal, and somehow still fails. What a loser. Trauma Child gets aged up with magical tea. The Devil and "The Ninja" time travel and fuck around in the past. The Big Gold Stick-Thing and god's gold weapons from the past are shot into space. For some reason.
Satan's Wife shows up. Instead of actually being a mother for Trauma Child, she's been researching the Green Ninja's destiny. Everyone slow claps for the Best Mother of the Year /s. The Serpentine commit a coup d'etat by literally shoving The Devil out of a helicopter, and Bloo Snek Leader takes over.
Satan's Wife gives a history lesson, and introduced god's greatest mistake: Evil Liquid Cat. Evil Liquid Cat is stranded on the other half of Ninjago that god broke off, which we call the Dim Landmass. Evil Liquid Cat created some indestructible warriors out of stone that we're gonna call the Rockies. Also, you remember the big boi snek that The Devil smacked on the head? Well, the author forgot to mention that it caused big boi snek to fucking explode, and the gooey green remains can animate things. Anyways, the gooey green stuff brings one of the Rockies to life that Satan's Wife found underneath the museum she works at. "The Ninja" trick it into falling into a bottomless pit.
Meanwhile, after the devil got shoved out of a 'copter, he found the Dim Landmass, and Evil Liquid Cat strikes a deal with him. The Devil unlocks a new level of Dim Landmass, now it's not mostly underwater! Satan's Wife hits on Gandalf. The author is disgusted. A bunch of the Rockies are reawakened, and the sneks get locked underground again as the Rockies wreak havoc upon Ninjago City.
Gandalf and Satan's Wife literally attempt suicide via jumping out a building window, but "The Ninja" go "nuh uh" and save their asses by catching them on their flying boat the author forgot about last season.
The boosters broke, so they sail to the Dim Landmass like how you're supposed to use a ship. Freezy's bird friend gets shot down. Demonic starfish eat some of the boat, and they crash land onto a not-lighthouse prison. SURPRISE! Freezy's dad is somehow alive, fixes their ship, and they fly away to the Dim Landmass.
Meanwhile, Evil Liquid Cat and The Devil scoop up a bunch of evil galaxy mud, and are using it to create a super weapon. "The Ninja" get caught trying to sneak in and escape, then they go there with Satan's Wife to try to get the devil's fancy new hat and escape, but not before Meow gets kidnapped and experimented on.
One dramatic hero speech later, and "The Ninja" try to defeat the devil again.
They fail. The devil gets possessed by Evil Liquid Cat, and Trauma Child gets physical trauma as well as emotional trauma! I would say baby's first traumatic experience, but Satan's Wife abandoning him and his entire time at Darkley's takes that title.
Ninjagoans(?) get turned evil, and the possessed devil and his army of Rockies go to Ninjago. Turns out the possessed devil has worse aim than the Storm Troopers and somehow manages to miss Brownie like 20 times. Then, the possessed devil decides to fuck it and uses Russian bombing tactics of "if you have shit aim, just shoot bigger ones in the general area" and launches evil mist everywhere.
The color coded dumbasses have their hero speech as the author spends way too much time looking at the sand physics, and holy shit god had a mech??? Anyways, "The Ninja" fly back to Ninjago, fight the Rockies, and get evil-possessed??? All except for Trauma Child, who unlocks God's fighting style and light beams the everloving shit out of his possessed satan father, which literally blasts the demonic purple blob AND the devil out!
Now, we're left with the world saved, a DILF, and said DILF's brother's dumbass students.
The End.
Or is it?? You'll see next time when I post Season 3!

what’s joan’s civilian life like?? (both regularly and häxa) and her ref if u don’t mind…….def not planing things :3c
Okay, first things first, first question about Joan, holy shit!!
Ahem, anyway, lil bit of backstory, before the whole Bishop thing (Häxa Joan’s life be almost the same as Kuno Joan’s honestly-) and her sisters dying, back in Sweden, Joan used to be a pretty active member in the town she and her sisters lived in. She was still pretty temperamental but fair and collected most of the time. She sometimes trained people who wanted to learn how to protect the town and she did damn well doing so! She helped out often with chores like carrying heavy stuff since she is the most physically strongest of the sisterhood, get things from high places cause she tall (lol-) and often went to grab ingredients that her sisters needed for potions and stuff. She also took care of kids even if she wasn’t the most fond, they were better than some travelers she had to deal with. Her life was mostly calm until that day with the Old Faith.
Post-Bishop times, Häxa rarely takes off her hat, afraid that if she lets her guard down, someone will get hurt. Months, maybe even years pass and she is still wearing the identity of Häxa every day. She is still grieving and is angry at herself for not saving her sisters so you may always see the golden cat-like slit glowing in the dark due to said rage. So, as Häxa, she is just a very angry lady who almost forgets who she is outside the hat and forgets that sleep is needed. However, once meeting First Ninja and Miori and starting to cope with the loss of her sisters after years of grieving, she starts going out as a civilian more, not often, but at least sometimes, she spends more time in her hut. She is cold and more temperamental than before, the littlest things can set her off but she trying to work on that. One thing is for sure, she makes sure never to blow up at a child. Never to a child, they don’t know any better…
Also, she probably got into a pub fight after someone wanting a fight broke a bottle of sake on her head. Didn’t really hurt due to Häxa magic and stuff but she was PISSED!

Here the refs and a drawing close up of Joan, she so tired and mad lol-

So in progress information on Sir Amenthes (Prince Narinder's) identity after renouncing his title/county, letting Darkwood and Anura to accept it)
Actually yeah was thinking his lands would be along the waterways of the Kingdom of the Old Faith
because the Gateway > mouth of a river > waterways would be a way of travel > reminds me of the River Styx?
The identity: Sir Amenthes
Upper class gentleman in Darkwood
Investor of Ratau and Ratoo's Trading Company
Had been traveling around, sailing, investing, whatever the heck
decides to go to Halcyon Harbor to work more closely with Ratau and Ratoo
People who know who he is
The Royal Family (obvs)
Leshy is the only one who actively visits
goes with a few trusted attendants
possibly the bosses and Witnesses? but they're also nobility idk
Shamura calls him to the capital often to try to convince him to come back
Midas
Recognizes him like immediately
Gets bribed with the Royal Family wallet to keep quiet
Allani
eventually
probably by accident lol
Owns a cane made by Kallamar
decorated with crystal - handle akin to a scythe's shape?
has a blade hidden in it
owns it just to be extra af
obtained it pre-renouncement
always admired Kallamar's work and wanted to keep a piece
kept heckling Kallamar because he wanted to be extra af even though Kallamar said he doesn't fucking need it
able to use it to keep his hands/arms steady when he has an episode where they spaz out
things for Prince Narinder to hide:
hands/arms - markings/scars/something
gloves + long sleeves. always.
use of magic to hide obvious features
only the Crowns give the Royal Family to change appearance
other black cats exist (Forneus, the Twins, etc) so he doesn't care that much
Narinder uses it to hide his third eye and red sclera
can use hat to cover third eye outdoors, lessening mana drain
then uses magic to conceal third eye when he takes it off
still drains mana, still don't know how extensive it is
when using other magic there is a risk of revealing his other features so gotta be careful
so usually able to use it throughout the day, hope to god he ain't got shit to deal around people late night
concealing red eyes is higher priority than concealing third eye

Let me show you... Youtube - chapter 23
I think I want to post it on AO3, is this a good idea ?
Warning : no proof reading, English is not my mother tongue.
Trigger warning : once sentence speak about unaliving themselves.
If you are interested in reading this fic, the tag "#twst lmsyy" will give you all the chapters.
─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───
The woman didn’t understand the sentence really well. She turned her head. No one. [Strange… I was sure someone was there.]
Victoria looked at Crewel with her eyes full of questions. “Did you speak to me ?”
Crewel patted her head. “No. Hearing voices ?”
Victoria frowned. “... Maybe.”
Like magic, she received a text. about the painting. She smiled “I am sorry, I gotta go. Thank you for spending all this time with me.”
The man coveted her. He feathered the back of her hand with his mouth. “No big deals, it was wonderful to spend all this time with such a beautiful woman.”
Victoria reddened. “Thank you for the compliment… Goodbye.”
She flew to the art room. She was panting by the time she arrived. “I am here for the painting !”
A teenage boy greeted her. “Hello, I am the painter ! Nice to meet you.”
Victoria looked at him from head to toe. He seemed near a good burn out. They had the same dark circles and pasty white complexion, indicating the unhealthy lifestyle they lived. They even had the same fake smile plastered on their face. Damn it was like looking at a gender bending mirror.
The boy spoke first “Mh, about the canvas… Do you really want to buy it ? It is a depressing one… Ladies normally prefer bright paintings with flowers and cute animals on them…”
Victoria nodded. “No, I want this one. It is really a melting pot of raw emotions, I like it. It reminds me of myself.”
He seemed troubled. “Oh… Ok… Then for the price..”
They discussed the price. Once she gave him the money -after insisting to pay him rightfully- she asked. “This painting feels like something you already experienced. Is it you ? Or someone you know ?”
The boy had a faint smile. “I am the one in this painting…”
Victoria felt tears coming out. “You know… If you have help, everything will get better. I know it for sure.”
The poor teenager squeezed her hand before she went away. “Thank you..”
She turned around with her new addition when she heard a faint whisper. “Whore.”
She turned her head as fast as a human could to see who was speaking. No one again. [I don’t like this at all.]
When she was in the corridor she was stopped by a voice she knew. “Mrs Devi ? What are you doing here ? You should be watching the games.”
She smiled facing the man. “I could tell you the same professor Trein.”
He coughed. “I was merely patrolling inside the school.”
The cat in his arms meowed. He added/ “What do you have here ? A painting ?”
She nodded and showed him. “Indeed ! A fellow student made it. I think he has a lot of talent, the emotions are so raw. I love it.”
Lucius seemed intrigued by the canvas. He sniffed it. Trein frowned. “It is… an unusual taste in painting.”
Victoria shrugged. “Well you need a little bit of everything to make a world… I don’t critique people’s taste in food, don’t critique my taste in paint.”
The duo was stunned by her comeback. “I am not criticizing your taste, I just find it original.”
Victoria, deadpan, looked at him. “‘Original’ often means ugly. Like when we say that a hat is ‘original’ when it is just plain old ugly. In short, I have a painting and I am going to hang it, if you excuse me. Humpf!”
Trein was left speechless. Lucius meowed. Trein asked the cat. “What do you mean I screw things up ?”
Victoria came back quickly to the dorm to hang her painting in her bedroom -after watching a quick tutorial on how to hang a frame on old wood wall-. No one had good taste in paintings here. She could spend hours looking at it without getting tired of it.
She heard noises then a good “Victoria we are hoooome.”
The woman welcomed the duo. “Hello dearies ! How were the games ? I filmed your game of course !”
Yuu became shy while Grim boasted confidence. “Nya ha ha !!! We were awesome, no ?”
Victoria applauded, smiling. “Of course ! Everyone has witnessed the great Grim in action !”
Grim continued to laugh. This time it was Yuu’s time to speak. “You… Aren't you going to ask us about what happened before the match ?”
Victoria looked at the Child and asked. “Do you want to speak about it ?”
Tears filled Yuu’s eyes. The woman guided the Child to the sofa and Grim said. “You are a cry baby, subordinate !”
Victoria clicked her tongue. “Shh Grim if you want tuna later.”
Grim shut his trap and Yuu began to speak. The fear they had when Ruggie was hurt, the disaster it was to escape the attacks,... They had a lot to unpack, like last time.
She let them cry all they needed. It was to a point they fell asleep on the couch. Victoria covered them with a duvet before preparing dinner. She made tuna mayo onigiri for everyone and left a plate covered with cellophane on the table. She wrote ‘For Yuu <3’ in her best penmanship.
She was in a dire need of sleep.

Oh no I have had a Thought about witch hat themes okay so. Hear me out.
the first part of Witch Hat was setting up the world and characters, and now we’re Firmly into the second part, which is showing how these systems fail, and who they fail.
and every single time a system fails someone, it is because knowledge was withheld.
coco’s mom? Coco didn’t have the knowledge of what she was doing or know to be careful. I’m not sure if this was an intentional parallel, but to apply Olruggio’s fire metaphor from ch43, Coco was touching real fire because she didn’t know it would burn. Coco is a child but she has sense and, had she known What That Spell Did I have no doubt she wouldn’t have done that or would have done that with safety measures on.
Qifrey’s Whole Deal? Caused by forbidden experimentation which it is both unknown and forbidden to heal. His lack of knowledge of both exactly what happened to him and exactly what is going to happen to him is causing him to implode.
Coco’s fever? Only helped by creating an accommodation so that Tartah could access knowledge that he could not get due to his disability. And then they were stopped from self medicating by An Actual Nurse who is presumably more knowledgeable than two teenagers, but still. Still!!
Richeh and Eunie’s Romonon arc? Saved by knowledge of the self and healing from past educational abuse. Richeh learns that she can do things her own way and therefore gains emotional knowledge, and so does Eunie even though he’s a wolf for like half of it yes I know this one’s a bit of a reach
Coco and Tartah verbally express regret that they could not give Coustas more knowledge than they did aaand this is in fact where my ability to put relevant details stops actually
What about the brimhats who possess the forbidden knowledge and are obviously Not Good?
okay but like. Do They Though? Do they actually possess a significant amount of forbidden knowledge or are they just ducking around with things they don’t understand? If the cat-headed witch knew a significant amount of forbidden magic I’m almost Certain he would have figured out a way to remove the cat head. Also hm basic osha compliance would have gained you significantly Less fuckups. Like Yes they know more than Coco, but do they know what they are fucking around with? Not really.
i got kind of distracted by my argument so this isn’t as poetic as it out to be but witch hat constantly reinforces that people benefit from knowledge, and suffer from ignorance.

Was the blood possibly from one of the angels working at hat’s casino? What were some of the other drawbacks from cup’s power? Does having the blood impact their cup abilities at all? And also, did they get any kind of magic sickness from the blood at first?
Possibly. But Hat never told them who it was from. And quite frankly it would freak them out if they knew the person the blood came from.
General drawbacks? Pretty bad headaches, nosebleeds, and disorientation switching between irl and his visions. There are times were he can’t distinguish a vision from what’s happening in real life. Or he thinks he still in a vision.
Major drawback? It’s SUPER uncontrollable. He can kinda sense when a vision is about to come on (he gets pretty spacey, dizzy, and the beginnings of a headache) but he can’t purposefully trigger any. In fact it leads to a lot of his anxiety and paranoia.
The one thing he’s noticed that sometimes triggers his visions (and this is my favorite part) is bad luck. So, Cup in this AU is very superstitious. Any time he spills salt, crosses paths with a black cat, does something in numbers of 13, breaks a mirror, etc etc he gets visions seeing the effect his bad luck does to him. Usually that bad luck doesn’t cause anything bad, oftentimes making him trip and drop stuff.
HOWEVER, what he doesn’t realize is that it is his paranoia and anxiety that are actually causing those visions. Every time he causes himself some kind of “bad luck” its his WORRY that actually triggers it and his worry over what IS going to happen makes him see the first sign of “bad luck” in his future, which really is just some normal thing happening to him.
If he isn’t paying attention to however number of times he does something or what he’s stepping on, he doesn’t have visions. Like, for example, during some kind of a fight, he could break a bunch of cussing mirrors or step under a billion ladders but if his attention is on the fight and he doesn’t notice what he’s doing, his visions are never triggered.
(Keep in mind that sometimes his visions just randomly happen to him. His worry triggers others.)
Anyway, dish magic remains the same.
After they were injected with the blood and nothing happened within the first hour, the two went about their days per normal. Until a little while later and the cupbros were bed ridden. It wasn’t bad, but boy they felt like crap. Like a bad cold. A headache and a fever at worst. Pretty soon their eyes were glowing gold and Hat knew the angel blood worked. They developed their abilities maybe 2 to 3 days in. And THEN they had to deal with knew psychic abilities which was a whole separate thing going for them. Man. The first cussing week was absolute HELL for them, trying to get adjusted to the new abilities. Mugs was vomiting left and right plus a major headache. Cup felt like he was having visions every goddamn second.
I hope that answered your ask!
Thanks for the ask!

A little idea sprung to mind and I wrote a one shot!
Hope you enjoy (maybe you'll read this and you've heard this classic story us Scots like to spin 😅)
Also features a Mac headcanon and an original fallout themed pun for our boy to claim!
Content warning: Some mature themes and humour, so if your no over 18... Bolt 😘
(p.s I like this screenshot, so I recycled it 🤟)
A Scotsman never tells...
Tumblr media
 "Like a Mole Rat, the size of a cat?" MacCready repeats with a frown, waving his hand through the smoky air. 
The Boss' hands dance around, telling his story in a way only he can, and damn it, if his eyes don't sparkle in the dim light of the Third Rail's VIP room, and MacCready reminded himself he oughtta never play cards with the man.
Mac slowly chuckles, boots up on the coffee table, cigarette smoldering between his fingers. "I call brahmincrap," he argues, furrowing his brows. "I mean, I've seen some wacko creatures in the Wastes, but no way in heck there are creatures out there that could have lasted this long with such sparse action in the sheets—I mean, if it weren't for Duncan, the MacCready line would be headin' for extinction—one chance a year?” he scoffs. "No way a species would survive with those odds!”
Nate just chuckles, sipping his Scotch. "Well, those wee buggers have the bonus eh decent dental, son," he smirks with a wink. "Soon as they find their darlin', they're set for life."
That stings a bit. "Watch it, old man, keep yappin', and you'll be feasting on Blamco and beans for the rest of your days—"
The bastard raises his hands defensively, smirking. "Alright, alright. Simmer doon—just dinny forget to snag yersel' a toothbrush next we're in Diamond City— or else it'll be you choking doon canned goods."
"Goddamn it, I brush my teeth! Twice a day!" he bristles, tongue proddin' the crevices in his mouth. "Ain't my fault some teeth never bothered to show."
Nate's eyes soften. "Aye?"
"Had Rickets as a kid...one of the perks of living in a cave, I s'pose," he shrugs. "Lucy managed to work out a treatment for the 'Littles,' by then, the damage had been done." He sighed, fingers picking at the frayed armrest. "I mean, I do alright now—cold weather can be tricky, old injuries hurt like heck, and I always gotta work hard to keep my knees from knocking," MacCready tried a laugh. "I'm mostly pissed because Lucy always reckoned I should've been taller."
"Ach, just makes it easier for ye tae hide in tight spaces, lad."
His lips were curling before he could even get the words out. "Dunno about that, boss. You of all people should know the difference a few inches can make."
Nate scoffs, doing his best to look offended, but there's almost a hint of pride in those eyes before he's shaking his head. "Damn—Rickets, Mac? No wonder you tire out quick, lad...Ye're needin' to cook more, eat some red meat, get some dairy in ye...and lose the hat and layers when ye can, get some sun on your skin...You'll be at more risk of it coming back."
He can't help but laugh. "What, so if I start chowing down on Brahmin and Radstag and soak up the rays, I'll morph into some tall, dark, handsome stranger?"
Nate grins, swirling his Scotch, "Take it easy, it's not a magic potion, Rob—actually, Haggis might be great for your diet," he chimes, changing the subject, like he always does when they get off track. 
"Haggis? What the heck are you on about now?" Mac chuckles, ashing his cigarette. 
The animated Scott explains further. The Haggis—or 'Haggi,' plural—those critters he'd been yammering about—have longer legs on one side of their 'dumpy' bodies—means they can only scoot around the hills in one direction. It’s a one-shot deal: find a mate or wait another year for some action. 
"Sounds like a crock of—" 
"Hold on," he interrupts, a smile on his lips. "In Scotland, it was tradition for families to hunt a haggis, fatten it up, and serve it on Rabbie Burns Night, wi' some neeps and tatties..."
"Rabbie, who now?" He raises an eyebrow. "The frick are 'neeps'?” he guessed 'tatties' was just his the idiot pronounced 'tatos.'
"Rabbie Burns," he chuckles. "Famous Scottish poet. You need to broaden your literary horizons, MacCready." His laughter fades as he continues, "And a 'neep' is a turnip."
MacCready opened his mouth, about to ask the boss to further define 'turnip,' before he was cut off.
"My sister El, she would break her heart every year. Took her forever to accept that we had to cook up her wee pal."
As much as he tries to believe—this tall tale about haggis sounds as believable as a three-headed Radstag. "I still don't buy it," he scoffs, trying to suppress his grin. "You're pulling my leg. If these things are real, I'll eat my hat."
The idiot just laughs, downing the last of his Scotch. "Would ye prefer a tell ye' it's a bunch eh mushed up innards, mixed wi oats and cooked in an animal's stomach?"
"I think I'm gonna be sick—”
His guts were turnin'. He took a deep breath to calm it. He's shaking his head, grinning despite himself. "Well, if it's anythin' like molerat, it'll just burrow a hole through my caps stash...I'll stick to Radstag, surprisingly not as dear..."
Nate let out a wavering groan as he tried to suppress a laugh. "You're a wee arse, lad. Dang sense eh humor eh yours is dire."
"Yeah-yeah, believe what you want...you're clearly at home with your delusions—they're entertaining, at least."
He takes a victory drag from his cigarette, leans back, and watches Nate's eyes dance as he delves into another tall tale about some sea monster.
Despite his skepticism, Nate's tales offer a rare glimpse into a world beyond the Wastes. So he listens, the taste of stale smoke on his tongue and a story spinning out before him.
He realizes this—this is as close a guy like him could get to what he always envisioned it would be like, to grow up with a father—lulled to sleep with a late-night tale about Wasteland beasts and heroic adventures.
The dad he couldn't wait to be.

Yay, found family 🥰
