hotwings au where hawks is a fallen angel who happens to crash-land in dabi's backyard on his way down.
hawks' wings are from his status as an angel rather than a separate quirk
i'd like to imagine that quirks aren't really a thing that they're up to date on, as well as being pretty behind in, like, everything else
imagine hawks going into this with an ariel-like disposition
anyway this kicks off with hawks crashing into dabi's backyard in the middle of the night
dabi, who's obviously awake, gets up to go investigate what the fuck that was (naturally assumes someone's here to kill him, as any normal, not-paranoid-at-all person would think)
hawks is very upset (landed on his wing wrong and maybe broke it, which, like, "OWWW...." this guy has never felt pain before and now he's human, which is cool conceptually but why do humans feel pain?? are they like this all the time?? who would do this to them??)
which leads to dabi finding hawk in a pile of limbs armed with a broken wing tangled in the clothes lines that he never bothered to take down after he finally saved up enough for a washer-dryer unit
at this point in time, dabi hasn't been scouted by the league yet, but he's not struggling to survive. he's found a small townhouse to reside in, one story, one bedroom, and a small backyard
(the backyard was an important detail to him—sometimes dabi needs to just. bask in the sun. feel warm when he can)
hawks sees dabi and assumes that he must be someone from hell, and it was some sort of cosmic fate that brought the two together
(hawks has always been the hero-type, even as an angel. he doesn't want to defeat people, rather, he wants to help them.
(hawks is just terribly naive, which impedes this goal of his by a lot)
dabi drags hawks inside once he's figured out that he isn't with the hero commission after threatening to burn the rest of his feathers off (which, the fire isn't helping hawks' case against him)
hawks can't really just say he's an angel, mostly because he gets the feeling that saying as much to someone like dabi would go very sideways
so he spins a story about being kicked out of his home and having nowhere to go and no family to take him in even if they wanted
which, it's not really stretching the truth at all. that is what happened. he just omitted a few details
dabi is stabbed by a violent wave of sympathy that he tries to suppress at first, until remembering that he'd have done anything to have support from someone like dabi is now back when he had been scared, alone, confused and hurt
and even though hawks is cheerful enough, dabi can see the mask he's wearing—he's hiding something. something that hurts
so dabi nods, accepts this answer, and offers hawks the couch for the night, which hawks gladly accepts (and ignores the way his eyes get wet)
the next day both wake up, remember the night before, realize it wasn't a dream and think, fuck
dabi's gotten himself saddled with a roommate—cuz even if he wanted to ignore him, it's too late now, he spent the whole night turning the situation over in his mind and kicking him out would make dabi's already fragile emotional stability skew out of control
and its finally settling into hawks' head that he's been kicked out and he doesn't know where he's going or if he'll ever get the chance to go back even if he wanted to and he's doomed to spend the rest of his life wandering the earth looking for acceptance that will never last
tldr both are having mild panic attacks
dabi finally tries to address the situation by like, asking what hawks plans on doing or if he knows anyone that could help him out
which gets dabi a look so pathetic he immediately regrets asking
("fuckkk he's so sad and lame. what am i supposed to do. it's like staring at a miserable puppy with a bag full of treats in your pocket and pretending you don't know they're there.")
dabi grits out an offer:
stay here and figure out a way to pay rent, and dabi will do his best to fix up hawks' wing so he can fly again but also so it doesn't cost a million dollars to pay for the treatment in the first place
(dabi's plans consist of roaming the underground to find a doctor that could help the both of them out and threatening them—dabi's been putting off finding one for himself after his skin grafts start looking nastier than they should and this is the push he needs to get to it)
hawks, oblivious to this, agrees pretty readily
dabi nods
a moment of silence. then:
"is your real name dabi, or—"
"i'm not hearing this from you, hawks."

Very quick little rough sketch before bed. I love the idea of Gale and Aislyn (Tav) sharing their knowledge with one another. I think Gale would be eager to learn any form of magic, especially if it was sacred to his partner.

I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing. So you've had to struggle and connive and claw your way to power. But true power, the divine right to rule, is something you're born with. The fact is, they don't know which one of us is going to be sitting on that throne and which of us is going to be bowing down. But I know, and you know.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
while azula’s speech to long feng in this scene is indisputably iconic and powerful, it is also blatantly wrong. azula cites “the divine right to rule” as her prerogative to take the earth kingdom throne over long feng in their vie for power, but the divinity of the monarchy is a hollow justification for the existence of any given monarchy in the first place, not some ontological imperative that demands certain families seize and maintain power. centuries ago, azula’s ancestors claimed power over the fire nation, and her belief system is the product of the rhetoric they created after the fact to justify their power and influence over the state, and some time later, sozin’s imperialist doctrine that it is also the fire nation’s prerogative to colonize other states beyond their accepted borders. what makes this moment so effective is that azula truly believes the imperialist rhetoric she spouts in this intimidating monologue, as it was the creed she was born into – but as we are plainly shown throughout the show, her belief system is wrong, and she possesses no inherent, divine superiority over others. her facade of power, strength, and domination ultimately guards an empty myth, a lie that nearly destroyed the entire world.
BUT.
out of context, her words are not entirely wrong.
you've had to struggle and connive and claw your way to power
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but true power
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the divine right to rule
Tumblr media Tumblr media
is something you're born with
unlike in our world, wherein the existence of divine power(s) cannot ever be truly proven, the spirit world not only demonstrably exists, but is eminently accessible. only because of aang’s century-long stasis in the iceberg was there ever any doubt of the avatar’s return, reducing the spiritual/cultural/political/global significance of the avatar to a myth, and plunging the world into unrest, chaos, and despair. but the world of avatar itself spans a vast history, in which aang’s era is merely a blip. he is but one reincarnation is the vast line of avatars, the bridge between the human and spirit worlds, the bringer of balance, chosen by the spirits. if anyone has an ontological, divinely-necessitated influence over the world, it is not the fire nation royal family: it is, quite plainly, the avatar.

yet another oc that only exists because i wanted to write something very specific
Tumblr media
(middle is a little older, hence her scar healing. i like to think she gets a glass eye at some point)
anyway this is mira! (they/she) since that wip is almost 20k words and counting i won’t give away too much but long story short she’s the result of meta going “one last time, i promise” and adopting yet another kid
also galaxia kinda indirectly picked the name :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i’ve mentioned before that i headcanon that pretty much all astrals are autistic and this is just kinda an extension of that. whereas meta tends to suppress his emotions and conform to others, mira…doesn’t. she gets uncomfortable and upset and lashes out at people easily, and working through their emotions is no small task.
the main reason i chose to write them that way was for the sake of narrative but i’ve grown attached to it because there’s a lot of ideas there i’d like to explore. stuff about navigating emotions and relationships when existing is so suffocatingly uncomfortable. it’s not something i could center around Kirby himself, but i think it makes sense with a post character development meta knight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they are very loved (omg oldee cameo???)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
kirby was definitely very excited to have younger siblings after being used to being the youngest in the room for so long!! (with the like. one and only exception being gooey.) he’s super affectionate with both of them and wants to have a close relationship one day, but for now mira is pretty unappreciative of that fact lol. they don’t like being pestered for hugs
everyone else is okay tho
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(i know that’s hard to read. oops. “obvious bite marks”. siblings being siblings.)
mira also has a very love/hate relationship with the egg kid, being so close in age they kinda Have to get along but in typical sibling nature they also fight a lot. sure it’s probably rough for a while but i think in the end they’d be good buddies. maybe not as close as Kirby and Bandee but still.
anyway i have a lot of thoughts and am very busy but. i’m really enjoying writing about all this lately it’s been fun ^^

whatever og text i had in mind for this post about ko shibasaki looking like sayama in this movie is completely cancelled on account of utsumi (this character)'s first name being kaoru and i only found this out cause i was looking up her name just to be sure when making this post
Tumblr media
like jesus christ i legally have to make this post now
#snap chats#they literally never say her first name in the movie. i think lol LIKE WHEN I FOUND OUT I WAS JUST 'NO FUCKING WAY'#i do have to be tbh and say her face /is/ a little more round than sayama's#and its absolutely predominantly because of how her bangs and wardrobe are so close to sayama's that i think she look like her#BUT I CAAAANT THE WHOLE MOVIE I WAS JUST THINKIN ABOUT SAYAMA... i miss her...#OH RIGHT THE MOVIE THOUGH noooo fuck you this movie was so good it actually made me want to write a summary for it LMAOOO#LIKE I LIKE WRITING SUMMARIES BUT IVE JUST BEEN SO LAZY ABOUT IT WITH THE PAST FEW THINGS IVE SEEN BUT GOD.#ignore the fact i finished this movie two hours ago i was too busy fiddling with a card holder kit but. ill make a post about that next--#THIS MOVIE THOUGH NOOOOO IT WAS SO GOOD //SCREAMS AND YELLS AND DESTROYS A SNOWGLOBE//#god the part where ishigami and yukawa are walking by the homeless and it just lingers on an empty spot.. LIKE I THOUGHT I WAS WACK#CAUSE I WAS LIKE 'hang on wasnt there a guy there last scene' and obviously there was since the shot lingered right#BUUUUTT WHEN IT WAS REVEALED DOWN THE LINE SHUT UPPP I LITERALLY YELLED IM SO GLAD. my roommates arent home..#on god i thought the movie was gonna end with utsumi and fukawa's convo from the beginning#and i was gonna make a gaf about how fukawa was acting irrationally because he was too in love LMAOOO#BUT THEN IT KEPT GOING AND. im so glad it did. ishigami valid tbh#id also cover up and take blame for AND ACTUALLY commit murder for a girl if she said hi to me and made me lunch while i was trying to kms#while fukawa and ishigami were talkin that first night tho i just thought of after the rain.. lol... maybe the mangaka was inspo'd by that.#anyway. this movie was great. it reminded me of sherlock but if it was directed well and actually let you solve the mystery too#CAUSE WHILE I WAS WATCHING THERE WERE POINTS WHERE I TOO WAS JUST 'hang on' AND I JUST POCKETED THE INFO FOR LATER#i kicked and screamed when ishigami was talking abut how he formats his tests LIKE I SAID 'oh you fucking slipped'#when ishigami called and told her he had a white envelope in there bitch i knew it was gonna be the stalker letter i YELLED#LIKE I LIKE HOW THE MOVIE SETS THINGS UP SO ABUNDANTLY. IT'S FUN SEEING IT FIT IN THE MOVIE LATER ON#the twist of there being two bodies was so fun tho cause at the start of the movie i was sure two murders happened the same night#so when it was played off as just one i was like Oh. Ok. im still stumped on how he snuck a body out of the apartment#but yk what one detail is like. whatever in comparison to the rest of the movie being fun to watch#god im running out of tags POINT IS. PLEAAASE watch this movie if you got two hours#ive left some minor warnings on my Watchlist doc but there's nothing. TOO extreme ??#i mean there's an aforementioned suicide attempt but aside from that it's nothing too grotesque. for an rgg fan ig#ok bye i have to ramble about the card holder i got <3

finished the new walter moers book last night, and i loved it. it is not flawless - some of it feels a bit too familiar within the series - and he may perhaps never again reach the heights of Rumo, City of Dreaming Books, and whatever Der Schrecksenmeister is called in English, but it feels like a return to form. it's less about plot and more about dabbling in the sending up of northern german island culture/tourism, but more focused, more engaging, more Zamonien than, say, whatever Prinzessin Insomnia und der albtraumfarbene Nachtmahr is called in English, or the two thinner volumes of Zamonia novels that felt more like writing exercises than actual writing.

ninjago main four tk headcanons :]
this is my overly large collection of hcs that just either popped in my head or were taken from asks ive gotten so thank you to everyone that gave a little contribution!!!(and to rico MUAH thank you for letting me plagiarize some of your hcs >:]
general
- you cannot tell me they all dont get into tickle fights all the damn time
- as a welcome gift for kai becoming part of the team, the three ganged up and tickled him (all of them made sure he was fine with it first, asking what he thought about tickles and kai just turned bright red)
- theyve turned saturdays to their annual tickle fight competition, where they all gather in the room and see who can last the longest without tapping out
- (winner gets to skip out on chores for the entire week, but typically gets tickled the most throughout it because everyone is a sore loser LFMAO)
- casual cuddle nights where it always somehow turns into tickling. idfk at least one of them decides to start something, let it be accidental or not one of them tickles another then suddenly its a pile of lego men laughing
- like theyre so close to falling asleep but cole decides theyre not sleeping and slowly claws along jays tummy waking everyone up with a screech
- suddenly the two are in this mosh pit of a tickle fight while zane and kai are groaning about how they just want to sleep
- but eventually they do get dragged into it farewell zzs 😞😞
kai
lee
- extremely touch starved but scared to actually engage or ask for it himself
- which was before he met the ninja
- was flabbergasted when he saw how physically close everyone was with each other
- not just the constant tickle fights, but hugs, cuddles and occasional kisses theyd give
- which is basically how they found out he was ticklish
- like the three would be so touchy with kai like, hugging and inviting him over to cuddle with them but kai would get so flustered hed just. quickly spit out some things and run
- they all didnt want him to feel uncomfortable so they never pushed, so when kai did willingly join them at some point cole got wayy too hyper he went crazy peppering kais neck n ears with kisses just to hear kai shriek
- then things really turned forward
- is the biggest blusher omfg its so cute
- panicked, boisterous laughter while making multiple attempts to hide his face hes so blushy
- of course the ninja didnt let him hide his face, they once trapped kai in a cuddle hug with his arms trapped under two of them, while at the same time all were giving him tickly kisses
- with kai in this position he wias so fucking red lmdao they love him too much
- cant take tickle kisses, nibbles or gnaws for the life of him omfg
- which all the ninjas know and take complete advantage of
- they not only tickle really bad but get him super red at the same time bonus bonus
- has to be super careful when cuddling with cole because one time he trapped kai in this monster lock hug from the front and nuzzled his tummy with kisses and nibbles
- kai never recovered from this he was screaming so loud
- stubborn and cocky, so everyone likes taking him down a peg by melting him into a puddle of giggles
- hes super susceptible to slow teases + tickles
- aggressive tickles are ones to get him howling, but the gentle ones drive him crazy
- in reference to what i said earlier, monster lock hug from cole. then slow, wiggly fingers grazing along his hips was enough for kai that day
- he couldnt do anything but slap on coles shoulder, make several attempts to hide his face and made these funky unintelligible grumbles
- and to make it worse, cole was monstrous with the compliment + teasing combo
- never recovered from this
- didnt even know this but he has horribly sensitive feet as well
- bruggghh who let him decide it would be a good idea to provoke zane by poking him with his dogs
- kai did and hes stupid
- zane didnt even blink when he grabbed kais ankle and proceeded to tickle the daylights out if his sole until the others rushed in confused
- i dont think i talked about his hips but yeah. genuinely terrible spot for him. i dont even feel bad hes a little loser
- once again. screaming when jay decided it would be fun to pin kai down and squeeze his hips like no tomorrow
- the ninja just all love to tickle him to pieces okay
ler
- i may have gone a little insane on the lee hcs but hes also one hell of a ler
- super big on teases + pretty competitive ler
- pretty sure hes made zane short circuit from teases solely at least once
- like his ultimate goal is to fluster the shit out of whoever hes tickling
- ((mainly because he wants revenge for all the times the other ninja had made him all blushy because hes a loser
- he will never feel satisfied unless he is able to be as mean as he can fr omg
- like he once picked on jay by locking him in this weird ass position where kai could freely claw at his tummy while having the freedom to say as many teases as he can WHILE noting down what got him more frantic
- like this man takes tickling so seriously its hilarious he will always have some sort of mental note on what teases work on the other the best
- everyone hates him for this. absolutely despises him
- would get into absolute competitive rounds of tickle fights with cole where the two would literally be at each others throats for first place
- kai found this little technique where he'll climb up behind cole, wrap his legs and arms around him and tickle him senseless until he gives up
- works majority of the time because cole cant shake him off unless hes able to grab kais knee
- kai is crazy stubborn so he wont give up until cole is at his death spots??? but either way kai is still going to try his damn hardest to flip things around again even if hes shrieking
jay
lee
- shrieker, screamer and snorter
- babbles when he notices the others about to tickle him he will freak out
- nearly bust kais eardrums when he snuck up and tickled jay for the first time
- yet kai still does it because he finds the whole situation fucking hilarious
- chasing or any sort of anticipation gets him SO bad
- jay despises it when cole decides to chase him because he is SO jumpy and frantic and literally cannot deal with the anticipation
- like he'll be dashing around but be much more giddy than usual because. adrenaline.
- cole would be trying to make the air much more tense with teases while hunting him down, but jay literally yells throughout giggles for him to stop LMFAO
- "when i catch you, im going to-"
- "STOHOP NO NO NOO YOU WONT!!"
- most tickly tummy out of everyone
- its his immediate death spot, he'll be scream laughing right away
- cole decided it would be fun to nom on his belly and jay died
- goodbye boy you will be missed
- even zane joined in on the fun, making cole hold jays arms above his head to allow zane to slowly claw his cold hands along jays skin
- bro was SO loud and frantic shaking his head like crazy he basically shook the entire room
- he also remembers how kai walked in on this entire scene happening, took one look and immediately walked right out
- jay got him afterwards for leaving him in the dust
- big unintentional thrasher
- hes probably given wayy too many injuries to everyone unintentionally LFMAO
- kicked kai in the stomach once, smacked cole in the face and elbowed zane in the shoulder
- probably laughed harder at this happening than being tickled
- even gets sparks of lightning that shoot out his hands when hes laughing
- they can come in waves either being strong or weak, but either way when it hits his ler, it tickles
- jay loves when this happens and would purposely aim his hands towards the spots of whoevers tickling him
- which is why all the ninja have learned its best to pin at least a hand over jays head before wrecking him
- also has extremely high pitched panicked giggles that they all find extremely endearing muahmfuah
- like his voice will go so high pitched they all call him the squeaky toy
- used to be a little bit insecure about his laugh because he thought it was weird when hed squeak
- but all the compliments and sweet teases say otherwise so jay shuts up when hes about to say something negative about his laugh
- he said it once and got tickled with so much love from the three
- its just soso sweet im going to go cry he <3
ler
- absolute mean ass gremlin ler
- was the one who introduced tickling as their daily thing to bug each other with
- and started a shit ton of tickle fights throughout their time together
- he was the one who introduces the idea of having a tickle tournament because hed thought it would be fun
- hes been tickled so many times so dont think he wont remember all the different techniques he picked up
- i feel like everyone actually underestimated his ability to tickle others at first because he was just a silly little guy but noo they were all so wrong
- uses his lightning to tickle others because hes a little shit that is able to use his powers to his advantage
- everyone hates him for this because 1. theyre salty they cant use their powers for this intent and 2. it tickles like crazy
- uses this specifically for poking/ tazing people with his powers or just grabbing at ribs
- jay tickled cole so bad with his tazes once and cole in return gave jay one of the most intense chases hes ever had in his life
- like full blown tickle monster chasing after a banshee
- also found out zane is the most susceptible to his tazes because they affect him much more than normal tickles
- and WILL take that to his advantage because when jay does use his powers, zane is scream thrashing which he almost never does
- hes also pretty big on anticipation because he knows how bad it gets him so he just has to do it to the others
- coos and laughs along with who hes tickling because he finds it super silly and sweet
- looves squeezing because he feeds on seeing the person hes tickling thrashing around while hes just having a good time
- literally always the first one to start any tickle fights
- unprovoked will sneak up behind one of them and squeeze their spots until they crumble
zane
lee
- kind of just. takes the tickles unless it gets to a very specific spot
- has a really soft, breathy laugh that the others swoon on
- when you get one of his bad spots, he'll glitch a bit along with a high pitched squeak, but it wont hurt him
- he'll also uncharacteristically thrash and squirm!!!! gets more frantic n giggly which everyone loves
- in a way his little glitch like a high pitched squeak/snort that makes zanes movements much more reactive, like he'll gently push at hands and slowly try to slink away
- the first time this happened everyone freaked out and zane had to reassure that he was okay and just another way of laughing when things get a bit hysterical
- now they all think its the cutest thing ever and tickle him just so they can hear his laughter and his little squeaks
- all the ninja are SO soft about it too, always checking in to see if anything may be too overwhelming for zane as its a completely new sensation
- he is fine, he likes having this little bonding moment w them
- jay bullies him a lot solely because his electricity has been by far one of the most effective ways of getting zane to crumple to the ground
- zane is known to kind of just let out his little breathy laughs and squirm a bit, which is why it was incredibly surprising to both parties when jay snuck up behind him, tased his ribs and the next second zane barked out a laugh and fell down LMFAO
- they both looked at each other for a second before cackling because it was funny, then the next it was a whole different type of laughter because jay did it again but with full on tickles
- also has very sensitive ears and hands!!!! jumped a mile high when cole decided it would be a good idea to breathe down his neck and the story ends there LDMAO
- actually used to be. pretty neutral about tickling until it became a daily bonding activity hed do with the others
- tickling makes him feel more human as well and acts as a comfort to him that he knows he can be tickled just like the ninja can
- was actually worried at first he wouldnt be ticklish but cole was not taking that and did his silly little experiment and now :]]]]
- AND didnt know he could be this panicked and flustered while being tickled, because his system never really had to experience this type of emotion before but he liked it a lot
- although it did make him even more blushy because it was a good realization he had
ler
- cold and calculated movements when tickling otners
- tickles the others the least, but when he does or is about to, everyone sprints
- found this function where he can jitter his fingers really fast along any spot which drives all of them insane
- zane gathered everyone so he could demonstrate and used jay as his guinea pig only for him to scream and jump a mile high
- they all ran afterwards
- AND along with this he also uses it on his lips when hes giving raspberries
- when i say jay dies this man dies on spot when this happens
- zane had him pinned and jay saw him prepping to turn the feature on and he was SCREAMING before it even started LMFAOO
- he picks on everyone when they least expect it because when his attacks happen, theyre brutal
- like once jay wrecked the absolute living shit out of zane
- and in casual zane style he let jay be on his toes for a week expecting revenge
- buut forgot about it afterwards and let his guard down
- which is when zane casually just walked up behind jay when he was talking to nya, scoops him up and takes him away for sweet sweet revenge
- jay didnt even know it was revenge until zane pinned him down and pulled his shirt up to reveal his tummy then immediately began to screech
- likes 'chasing' kai and shoving his hands under his shirt with his reasoning being "my system needs a warmup"
- they both know its bullshit so it just turns into this overdramatic chase around the room where kai is SPRINTING while zane is casually walking towards him because he knows he'll catch him
- in the end zane always catches him one way or another and wiggles his fingers where its nice and cozy
- gets kai the worst because of this sole reason,, the icy hands just make him much more sensitive to zanes tickles
- super brutally honest with his teases
- its not even teases its literally just him pointing out the obvious yet everyone seems to??? hate it more when its the truth?????
- never really understood it when each time hed do this theyd tell him to shut up but at the same time he found it really amusing
- solely because it would make their reactions even more sillier and he found it v endearing
- WILL ALSO reveal anyones spots without any warning like hes stating a fun fact
- and just. knows. he knows.
- he’ll take one look at someone and make his silly calculated guess and itll always somehow be a spot that makes the person rush into a panic
- none of the ninja know how he does it but they all collectively agree that it is both amazing and terrible at the same time
- RIB COUNTER
- loves doing it because he says “i like learning about anatomy”
- which is bullshit he just likes being mean
- like he’ll pay extra attention to each and every rib when tickling the life out of either of the ninja
- found a very specific rib on the higher end with cole that has him howling and has kept this information to himself for the longest time
- mainly because no one has asked yet because he exposes everyones spots when asked LFMAO
cole
lee
- at some point all the ninjas thought this hoe wasnt ticklish because he was so good at hiding it
- and absolutely loved keeping his reputation as the high and mighty tickle monster out of all of them
- like hed dodge the question by tickling the person asking to pieces so they forget or would just drop the question
- or the ninja would poke him, but since cole was expecting it, he could control his reactions pretty well
- buut no secrets are hidden in this household
- and if you live with a few other curious ninja i dont think anything will be left unsettled
- zane literally unprovoked and out of nowhere sneaks up behind him and claws at coles ribs making him let out one of the loudest shrieks everyones heard
- mind you this was when they were all casually chatting in their rooms
- theres like a moment of silence for everyone to process this until its absolute chaos
- jay is screaming "YOU LIAR" while kai wrestles cole to the ground with zane whos smirking at the situation unfold
- has ridiculously ticklish thighs that no one knew about until jay was being a little silly and ran his fingers along coles inner thigh
- the two were lounging on the couch with cole who had one of his legs on jay just for that to happen and nearly kneed him in the face
- jay immediately gasped in shock and started laughing, gave a few more squeezes up on his thigh until cole pounced
- cole literally had to tickle the shit out of jay to keep him from telling the others (theyll find out eventually)
- not too much of a thrasher or one to get away, but he'll say things that mean the opposite yet the ninja can clearly tell hes enjoying it
- which gets him horrendously flustered that they all noticed it
- "get AWAY!!"
- "then why arent you running??"
- or one time zane had cole all propped up in his lap and was slowly circling his finger along his ribs driving him into a giggling frenzy
- but zane being zane noticed immediately that cole was leaning more towards him than away
- "if you say you hate this, then why are you leaning into my fingers?"
- cole just buried his face hes not dealing with that question
- then zane asked why this question got to cole so bad in front of EVERYONE and suddenly jay and kai are also mildly flustered but now know what gets to cole
- was and still is extremely embarassed over how ticklish he is in his little specific spots
- like. hes so used to people perceiving him as the tough big guy so he tries to live up to those expectations only to crumble under a few wiggly fingers
- which everyone except for cole LOVED because they thought it was so sweet n cute
- they all dont really make fun of him for this but they just. yeah they love tickling him n hearing him giggle
ler
- self proclaimed tickle monster out of the bunch which pisses everyone off because hes right
- absolutely no mercy when hes getting any of the three fr they all know when his mind is set on tickling someone they are going to get tickled
- which always leads into this gigantic tickle fight which begins with cat and mouse, or if its kai this man wont even run he'll try to fight back which just results in even more chaos
- has this little signature smile or look that everyone knows they have to prepare for
- like they could literally just be watching a movie and cole will dramatically look to one of them and they KNOW shits going down
- big on tickle kisses, bites and nibbles nom nom nom
- he likes pretending whoever hes tickling is his food and does these little playful growls when nomming on them
- done this way too many times to jay because it gets him the best
- or just casually grabbing someone, picking them up and wrecking the absolute life out of them
- likes manhandling his lees because all they can do is just kick their legs and hope he'll go easy on them
- like hes literally thrown kai over his shoulder and scribbled his knees
- mf couldnt do anything except lightly pound on his back
- once tickled all three ninja at once it was wild
- beat them all at a video game and as "losers punishment", he made them lie down next to each other back against the floor
- then proceeded to give left hand to kai, right hand to zane and raspberries to jay who was dubbed the shitty shitty loser
- he was so good at it too???? sir how and why would you do this to them
- it got so loud to the point where lloyd ran in and started shouting at them to shut the fuck up
- man needs to play his roblox in peace without them screeching in the back
- he scared off lloyd when cole yelled he was going to get him next
- cole and jay would be having tickle fights in some of the worst situations possible it was both ridiculous and entertaining for kai and zane
- like theyd be having a lecture from sensei wu and cole would sneak jabs at jays ribs making him shriek
- sensei wu was not amused

Briarlights death makes sense to me. As much as I love her character, the movement technology you’ve come up with wouldn’t be enough to keep her alive in a society where her nether regions are constantly exposed to the outdoors. She would get UTIs and kidney infections very quickly, which would be fatal when you can’t feel pain. My partner has to use catheters to avoid them (he is paralyzed in the same spot Briarlight would be.)
I think it’s disingenuous to have a character that’s paralyzed but have no other health problems or concerns regarding it, even if it’s uncomfortable to think about for some readers. It’s just as ableist to minimize the additional struggles she’d face as it is to kill her off unnecessarily.
Not accusing you of ableism, but expressing my concern. They’d need to find a way for her to poop and pee in a way that’s sanitary and a way to combat infections long term - even if the thought is “gross” to some people it’s the reality she’d have to live with. She should, at the very least, remain immunocompromised.
That is a valid concern. I will keep this in mind-- I'll make sure to note her immediately being cleared out of camp at the first sign of sniffles to avoid it. My cats can do some very minor building and there are now several cats on Jayfeather's Garden Patrol, it wouldn't be too much of a problem to make that area into a comfortable "satellite camp".
I do want to add though that my most important guiding principle is a stronger narrative which includes better portrayals of disabled characters, not perfect rugged woodsman realism. The medicine I add and the guides I write are in the hopes of better representing the lives of the real-life people who see themselves in the fantasy battle cats.
Realism does factor into that of course! But it goes out the door the minute it would smash up against a disabled character's inclusion. This is a series for human beings like your partner; as close to it as I can get by bending the setting when needed.
For example, Epilepsy
Epilepsy was deadly before modern medicine. Full stop. The herbs I created for that guide would not save someone like Shadowsight, whose convulsions are at extreme risk of turning into Status Epilepticus. It would help manage, but Shadowsight's life would have been very brief.
All the chamomile in the world wouldn't replace phenobarbital... or even the older medications, barbituates. Barbituates have been replaced and good riddance, but it's important to understand that even this drug known for causing EXTREME lethargy and horrible side effects was revolutionary. It saved countless lives.
But I'm not here to write a story for the real-life horror that is epilepsy in a pre-modern society. I'm here for the parent who personally thanked me for making their daughter feel less alone.
Evil spirits attacking the living! God knocking over trees! Attacking a bulldozer! That all happens; there's no reason they can't help Briarlight too!!
But I'll make sure to include her being immunocompromised. And I'll include ways they handle that. Just like I included a cat engineer who made a blanket sled.
So... suggestion accepted! I will keep this in mind.
Briarlight's Canon Death
...I will maintain though that the canonical death of Briarlight was one of the worst, most short-sighted, cruelest decisions that has ever been made in this series.
Because ultimately Briarlight is not a real person. She is a writing choice. She is a character based on Vicky's paralyzed cousin, "Dan," and Briarlight was directly modeled on Dan's personality and recovery.
What did the new writing team do, the minute they were writing a series without Vicky? Killed Briarlight to fucking greencough. For shock points. Narrative moves right on back to the MAIN conflict-- Alderheart having feelings for Velvet and Jayfeather enforcing the vow of chastity. ShadowClan officially falls apart in the background lol
It was never about realism, or realistic portrayal of disability.
This series doesn't care about realism when cats have bloody Freddy Kruger deaths in their sleep, or when shadow goo starts eating cat hell, or when lightning strikes Shadowsight. But they suddenly care about how realistic it is that the only paralyzed character survives greencough?? No! Of course not!
In the middle of the CONSTANT "Ohh she's finally in heaven where she can run and jump and not have a disabled life"? And the infamous Squirrelflight's Hope line, "You don't want to be alive again, Squirrelflight! You might become disabled like BRIARLIGHT"
(WHICH BTW THEY STILL HAVE NOT REMOVED DESPITE PROMISING IT YEARS AGO)
I absolutely do not believe for a second that they had a realistic portrayal of an immunocompromised cat in mind when they did it! Hell, screw it. I'll just say it outright;
I firmly believe that the new writing team killed Briarlight because they did not want to deal with her.
I flatly refuse to give them charity towards this choice. At NO POINT did they earn a speck of good faith. They continued every negative trend that was set up by the previous writers (including Vicky herself tbf), and went a step further by killing her to "we need to get rid of some randos" disease.
Not only that; but the Clan dynamics were NEVER the same after her death, because there was no character who could replace her personality. In this cast of cardboard cats, they plucked out one of the few optimists with a clear, unique perspective, not shared by ANYONE else.
My ire wouldn't JUST be because they happened to kill a disabled character in the way they did (though that is frustrating on its own imo). It's because it was Briarlight.
I hope every writer involved with the decision to kill Briarlight in the "Nothing is Happening! Quick! Kill Someone!" book of AVoS chokes on it. I will DIE on this hill and my blood will never wash out of the grass.

my very suited to my own personal tastes OC ask meme
yeah i'll throw this into the ring. here. have it. asks in no particular order, just whatever i could think about wahaha. feel free to use these for whatever :-) also has a few "games/interaction/not quite asks" things because this is MY list and I MAKE THE RULES /lh Also, all of these questions are SFW!
What genre of music do they listen to the most? Would people assume they would like that style of music or is it wildly unfitting to their appearance? (ie; cutesy pastel girl likes heavy metal)
In terms of power scaling in-universe, are they about as strong as everyone else, way overpowered, extremely weak, etc?
Their playlist. Show us their playlist (or, if it's extremely long, the most fitting songs on it) and include specific lyrics from each song you consider to be the most fitting. Explanation not required but you can if you feel like it! Do not care about cringe. It is fun.
Make a moodboard and/or stimboard for them! Remember to source your images! (And preferably use a royalty-free image site such as Unsplash instead of Pinterest!)
If their personality has changed drastically over development, what's something that was once true about them that is now absolutely absurd to imagine and false?
When it comes to food, are they more into savory, salty, sweet, sour, spicy etcetc food? Are they picky with their food or will they eat just about anything that isn't spoiled?
In your opinion, do you think if they were real you would be friends with them or not?
^ Relating to above question, do they consider themself easy to get along with, and is that actually true?
Have you ever tried to make them in a character creator? If so, share pictures (if you have them)!
Do you have a voice claim for them?
What's their "theme" color? What color do you associate with them? Is it in their color scheme or just a color that reminds you of them?
Would you consider them well-liked in universe, or are they more an... acquired taste .
^ What about outside of canon? Are they one of your more well-liked characters?
What do they smell like? If unsure of specifics scent-wise, do they smell good, overly-soaked in perfume, like garbage etcetc?
What would their theme song/leitmotif be titled? What would it sound like, if you have an idea?
Are they a projection of yourself in any way? How similar are they to you?
Are they capable of holding their own in a fight or are they laughably easy to beat?
Do they swear often? On occasion? At All?
How do they text people? Lots of exclamations? All lowercase? Very Serious And Grammatically Correct? 1 Billion Emojis? Cutesy uwu speak? Etc etc.
How easy is it to befriend them? How easy is it to make them hate you?
How do they prefer to be referred to? First name, last name, nickname, another alias entirely etc?
Compared to the rest of your cast, are they tall or short?
Are they a dog or cat person? Neutral? Do they prefer another animal entirely?
Do they know what a sigma male is. Be honest .
How do they react to being loved and/or cared for? Similarly, how do they express their love for others?
How do they react to being disliked? Similarly, how do they express their distaste for others?
What Pokémon type(s) would they be?
Are they the type to be chaotic and reckless or are they more the type to think before they act?
Are they an open book or hard to read emotions-wise?
Can they keep a secret?
What are some things you associate with them? Certain aesthetics, items, colors, feelings, tastes etc! Anything goes!
What role do they serve in the story? Are they a main character, side character, antagonist, protagonist etc?
What's the meaning behind their name?
What inspired you to create them?
FREE SPACE! Drop some miscellaneous fun facts, tell us their backstory, do whatever! Go wild!
