Obsessed with the fact that Maria Hill, deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., canonically drew a little hedgehog on an official report and, just as importantly, did it so poorly Coulson thought it was a poop.

Happy Dracones Monday! Azhdar

Happy Dracones Monday! Today's dragon is the azhdar from West Asia. This dragon is a large predator in arid environments - here we see a male with two young on his back - the babies are well camouflagued with a sandy, spotty appearance. In my project, Dracones Mundi, many dragons carry their young like this, and it makes the dragon look like it has extra 'heads', leading to legends of 'hydras' and other many-headed-dragons. In West Asia this can include the fearsome three headed dragon Azi Dahaka!

Palaeontology nerds may know the azhdar as the creature that azhdarchid pterosaurs are named after. For my dragon project I leaned more heavily on Persian art than taking inspirations from azhdarchid pterosaurs, but it would be fun to see other projects take a pterosaur inspiration for their azhdarha. I am excited to include the azhdar in Dracones Mundi as many projects have a distinct 'west vs east' interpretation of dragon species, but between the firedrakes of Europe and the long of East Asia there is a wealth of dragon mythology.

[genderwoods]

this is a long post talking about my ocs and my wip. feel free to skip!! i just want to get over my embarrassment of talking about them

ok so. to talk about my ocs first i need to talk about the world theyre in. this is still a nameless wip but for now im calling it 'through the mist' while i decide on a better name.

brief explanation about the world: its the modern world as we know, maybe a few years into the future, but its not very important because society and technology are still pretty much the same. the difference is that in this story, the earth was enveloped by a dark and mysterious mist that is invisible to most people. the origins of this mist is still unknown, but what is known is that: 1) it affects peoples health in the areas that the mist is the most dense, and the number of lung diseases and cancer has incresead ever since it appeared. 2) it has some type of dark magic to it. its essence creates demon-like creatures called spectrums (i still want to find a cooler name) that are unknown by most people, but they bring chaos to the world. you can read more about spectrums and understand them better here (please mind any grammar mistakes, it is still a rough draft!)

but there are special people in the world known as the Enlighted that not only can see the mist, but they are aware of the existence of the spectrums and are given special powers to fight them. most of these people are born like normal humans, and only when they grow up they start to realize that they are different and that theres something wrong in the world they live in. once they find out about their own powers, they are located by a institution called Lux Mundi, and they are recruited either to be a scientist and schollar that studies the mist and the spectrums, or to be a warrior and fight the spectrums.

there are three types of enlighted: the lumen (those who are born with paranormal abilities to help them fight the spectrums), the saltium (those who are born with advanced intellect and are able to understand the complexities behind the magic of the mist and the spectrums) and the granum (those who are both lumen and saltium at the same time. they are very rare.)

this is all you need to know to understand the ocs!! i wont say a lot abt their backstories here so to not make the post even longer but if you want to ask me anything about them, feel free!

btw all of these characters are brazilian and the story takes place in brazil bc well. im brazilian and it was easier this way.

also im not an artist so all i have are picrews 💔 sorry for the low quality of some pictures, for some reason tumblr wont show the album i have them saved in when i open the gallery so i had to screenshot.

1. Kaiki Vitorino, 17

she's our main girl! Kaiki was born Salvador, Bahia but moved to São Paulo with her mom when she was a kid. she and her mom were very close, but due to complications caused by a lung disease, she passed away three years prior to the story, and Kaiki had to move in with her aunt (who also lived in São Paulo). Kaiki is very kind and empathetic, she would never hurt a fly and puts other peoples feelings above her own (sometimes a little too much). she loves geology and has a cool rock collection. Kaiki is a lumen, and her powers are called 'Blessed be The Light', which is basically light manipulation. i won't dive in too deep about their powers here, but you can ask me if you want to!

2. Ayla Rodrigues, 17

Kaiki's best friend since childhood (and secretly love interest)! Ayla was born in São Paulo and met Kaiki in school. she has a very complicated family, which includes divorced parents and a dead younger sister, who died in a car accident with her dad when he was drunk driving. she doesn't speak to him anymore, and grief they dont know how to deal with has led her and her mom to a complicated relationship. Ayla is closed off, aloof and even arrogant to most people. When someone wins her heart however, she shows her more vulnerable side: she's a nerd, loves literature, music and cult movies, likes anime, and will do anything for her loved ones, especially Kaiki, who she is so in loved with is embarrassing. she is a lumen, and her powers are called 'Blesed be the Gravity', which is, you guessed! gravity manipulation.

3. Dandara Carvalho, 20

Born and raised at Lux Mundi, Dandara is the Head Trainer of the Lumen's division. Daughter of Eva Carvalho, supreme leader of Lux Mundi's instalations in Brazil, and Isaac Carvalho, Vice-Supreme and Head Counselour for the Saltium's division, Dara is the real deal: strong, disciplined, determined. she has been training since she was a kid, and her mom has always been very strict when it comes to this. Dara was trained by the old Head Trainer before her, an old man called Kaluanã. He was wise beyond this world, but after his passing at the old age of 80yo, Dara took over his functions. Eva wants Dara to be the next Supreme Leader, but all that she wants is to keep training and teaching other Lumens. They have a very strained relationship, but she gets along very well with her dad. Dara may seem intimidating, but she actually has a heart of gold: she's a dork who loves her friends to death and has a loud and weird laugh. she wont stand for injustice and is extremely reliable. shes also extremely, totally down bad for her girlfriend Yasmin. her powers are called 'Blessed be The Fire', but she also knows a lot of different martial arts.

4. Yasmin Senna

Yasmin may not be very impressive at first, but those who know her know that she is, in fact, a genius. Born and raised in São Paulo, Yasmin has always been the pride and joy of her family: as a kid, she was mostly quiet and kept to herself, didnt talk to other kids a lot and prefered to spend the day cracking her toys open to see how they worked. Her bad social skills and reclusion made her an easy target for bullying in elementary school – kids would take her toys away and mess with her all day long. this lead to a fatidic accident where one day she had a meltdown and unleashed her powers, 'Blessed be the Sound', a type of soundwave manipulation, and left everyone in the scene, including her, deaf. nowadays, yasmin uses hearing aids, but she has long ago gotten used to being deaf, and she doesnt mind her disability, but feels extremely guilt for the accident. she's the grandaughter of kaluanã, daras old mentor, but she had only know him as a kid before he moved to Lux Mundi. this is what made dara want to get closer to her at first, but then they feel in love. yasmin is extremely smart – in fact, she is a granum, but she refuses to use her powers, so she only works in the Saltium division.

5. Eric Senna, 19

Yasmin's twin brother, Eric is probably the only out of the Lux Squad that has decent social skills. He's charming, charismatic, funny, smart and has the world's biggest ego. Eric carries a lot of guilt over the bullying that happened with Yasmin, because he feels like he was too weak to protect his sister, so he has kind of become overprotective over her, even this kind of pisses Yasmin off (and Dandara too). he's one of those people that always act like they're the best, but deep down are their own worst enemy. he's talented, has a hundred different hobbies and speaks three languages. eric is always down for challenges and he loves to prank people. he has a cat and dog relationship with Dandara: they're always fighting and bickering, but they truly care for each other a lot. Eric is a lumen and extremely insecure about his powers – 'Blessed be the Thunder', electricity/lightining manipulation – because no matter how much he trains, his powers doesn't seem to get stronger.

These are the 5 main characters kf my wip! WOW ok this was. a lot. If someone has actually read untill now. thanks a lot, and let me know if you have any questions about anything in my wip or about my ocs! I love to talk about them!! :D

SNEAK PEEK SUNDAY

Stealing this from @blairwaldcrf on account of every writing tag game they tagged me on in the past weeks that I couldn't do due to a severe lack of Actually Writing Shit! BUT I am actively working on a new story and am excited about it so have a sneak peek into my upcoming ABOverse Jimonael post canon multi-chapter fic! <3

(Also tagging @airasilver because this fic was born from your comment about Sugar Daddies Saphael and I've had a screenshot of the comment on my desktop since August so I won't forget to write it once I find time and motivation again!)

--

Jace didn’t think it was a secret he’d had a crush on Simon – he had been very vocal about that, after all he’d called Simon pretty to his face when they were in the Seelie Realm, but then everything at the court had happened and things between him and Simon became much more awkward, what with Jace being the reason Simon and his girlfriend broke up. Even though, painfully ironically, the one Jace would have wanted to kiss at that court had been Simon, not Clary, who he had come to look at as a sister in the time they’d believed themselves to be siblings.

Jace had developed a crush on Simon very early on; the nerd was hot and his rambling was cute. But inexplicably, Simon seemed to be falling from one relationship into the next – from his mundie bandmate, to Clary, to a very brief attempt at dating Maia, before getting together with Raphael. Every time Jace thought he’d have an opening to at least hook up with Simon, the vampire was already involved with someone else. And Simon never approached Jace himself either, despite Jace’s blatant flirting, so… Simon had made it clear he wasn’t interested.

And that was fine. Jace knew he was a lot to handle and not for everyone. However, what Jace wanted was some time and distance so he could get over his stupid crush on Simon. And being the personal liaison of the vampire clan led by Simon and Simon’s mate? That was the absolute opposite of what he wanted or needed right now.

KH OC Week Day 3 - Friends or Lovers

(Mostly friends lol, only one of my OCs has a significant other.)

Here are the ten most important relationships (platonic, familial, romantic, etc.) of each of my five OCs for this week:

Sophia

Anima and Mundi - As an only child, Sophia has always had a close relationship with her parents. They were always there to cheer her on during major moments in her life prior to becoming a keyblade wielder, but having to enforce the World Order means that she’s not allowed to let them know anything about a huge part of her life now. Although she really misses their support, Sophia knows her mom and dad would want her to persevere and do her best (even when all she wants to do is quit and go back to a normal life).

Mariss and Relai - The twins are younger than Sophia by nine years but they’re still the closest in age to her within that generation of her extended family. Mariss has always been interested in science and Relai wants to be an artist, so Sophia was perfectly suited to look after both of her cousins during social events and encourage them to follow their passions. She hasn’t seen much of them or the rest of her family due to her apprenticeship, but she’s always excited to hear any news about the twins from her parents.

Master Vor - When Sophia began her apprenticeship, she saw Master Vor as an independent and self-assured woman beholden to no one’s authority. Now that she understands the responsibilities that come with wielding a keyblade and why Vor has distanced herself from the other masters, Sophia isn’t sure that she wants to walk that path of constant vigilance and solitude for the rest of her life. Additionally, Sophia in her sheltered life in Radiant Garden never had a reason to distrust an authority figure so she’s had a hard time trusting Master Vor after the reveal of how much she (and the other Scalan masters) lied about “the Calamity” and the fate of Master Hoder’s brother.

Brandr - Unlike most people, Sophia made an effort to see past her disconcerting first impression of Brandr and found that aside from his weird oracle powers, he was just kind of an awkward book nerd like her. Even as she has put most of her old hobbies aside over the course of her apprenticeship, Sophia has still kept reading books so she has something to discuss with Brandr. (She tells herself that it’s for his benefit but really it’s one of the only things keeping both of them sane sometimes.) Sophia doesn’t have much hope for Brandr’s plans to change the future he’s seen, but she keeps quiet because she doesn’t want to discourage him.

Virdandi - Although Sophia may have found Virdandi’s rough-around-the-edges personality abrasive at first, they ended up becoming fast friends because they complement each other so well. With Virdandi planning out their goals (once she’d gotten the chance to grow up a little) and Sophia keeping everything organized, the two of them are much more effective at getting things done together. Sophia just wishes that Virdandi could see this, as lately she’s gotten into the habit of going off on her own and getting in over her head when she could’ve just asked for help…

Ferrum - In their short time together, Sophia looked up to the eldest apprentice a lot. She was devastated by his death, especially since he ended up sacrificing himself to protect her, Brandr, and Virdandi. However, after years of comparing herself to him while trying to keep the other apprentices from fighting when Ferrum had always made it look so easy, Sophia can’t help feeling some mild resentment toward him (which she absolutely hates herself for).

Ventus - Unlike Brandr and Virdandi, Sophia is actually trying to get along with Master Hermod’s new apprentice and give him a fair chance instead of comparing him to Ferrum. She feels especially bad for Ven because she remembers how intimidating it was to be the newest member of the group at first and she didn’t even have all of the expectations that he’s facing from the others. However, she hates that trying to protect him puts her into conflict with Brandr and Virdandi all the time, and try as she might there’s always a part of her that quietly resents how much extra emotional labor she has to perform because of him.

Aqua - Since they’re not allowed to leave the Land of Departure until they’ve passed their Mark of Mastery exams, Sophia doesn’t get to see either of Master Eraqus’ apprentices much. She’s always grateful for the rare chance to hang out with Aqua because she admires her steady composure as well as her skills at magic and handcrafting. Sophia was overjoyed when Aqua made wayfinders not just for her but for Brandr and Virdandi as well, taking the gesture to mean that Aqua also believes that all of them will be able to get along one day.

Terra - Sophia had a bit of a crush on Terra at first, but she soon realized that his heart belonged to someone else (even if he hadn’t realized it yet). She admires his strength, his dedication to helping others even when he doesn’t know them very well, and his pleated hakama pants which she added to her second keyblade wielder outfit. Sophia is very excited for the day when he and Aqua become masters so they’ll be able to visit more (and she won’t have to be in charge all the time).

Nemus - Urgh. Sophia tried her hardest to get along with Nemus at first, but his anti-intellectual/anti-science attitude repulses her. He never listens to anyone but Master Hoder and is always stirring up trouble for the sake of it. (Even Virdandi didn’t use to be as bad as he is!) She was more forgiving at the start but now that Sophia sees Nemus for the manipulative snake that he is, she doesn’t even bother trying to stop Brandr and Virdandi from arguing with him unless the fight turns physical.

Virdandi

Urd and Magni - Perhaps Virdandi’s parents simply waited too long to have children, as their eldest daughter got away with a lot more terrible behavior when she was young than she might have if they were still young enough to chase her around. Magni was quite the boisterous and hotheaded youth back in the day, and Virdandi shares a lot of those traits so she’s always been close to her dad. Funnily enough, despite not getting along with her mother, Virdandi also had the same goal of leaving Scala as Urd once had at that age. By the time of BBS, Urd and Virdandi’s relationship has improved significantly now that the two of them are on the same page about Virdandi’s future.

Brandr - Despite resenting him for taking up so much of her mother’s attention, Brandr was Virdandi’s only friend for most of her childhood as both of them were the biggest social pariahs of Scala ad Caelum for different reasons. With the passage of time and the shared experience/trauma of being keyblade wielders, Virdandi and Brandr are now close enough to consider each other to be practically siblings. Ever since the incident in Traverse Town, Virdandi has been seriously pissed off at the streak of overprotectiveness that Brandr has developed toward her (and Sophia). Just because she’s a year younger than him doesn’t mean that she’s not capable of protecting herself!

Sigyn and Idunn - It took some time for Virdandi to adjust to not being an only child anymore. Since the new baby took away even more of her parents’ attention, she didn’t really care about Sigyn at all until she was three years old (around the time when Virdandi started to ignore Brandr because he’d gotten a keyblade and she hadn’t). Now that she’s matured up a little, Virdandi has been trying to be a better big sister but Sigyn’s more grounded personality has her acting like she’s the older sibling at times! Despite not actually being related to her, Virdandi considers Idunn to be her cool aunt, especially since she’ll let her get away with things that Virdandi’s parents would never tolerate.

Master Vidar - Virdandi met Master Vidar at the point in her life when she wanted nothing more than to leave her homeworld behind; of course she would consider the keyblade master who’d been exiled from Scala in all but name for decades to be the coolest adult she’d ever met. Unlike the bossy and overbearing Master Hoder, Vidar had more of a freeform and hands-off approach to teaching that Virdandi appreciated…but perhaps she really could’ve used a lot more structure in her training. Master Vidar’s style of mentorship is all about letting his student learn from her own mistakes as much as possible, which has worked for Virdandi in the past but now she views asking for help as a sign of weakness.

Sophia - Virdandi didn’t think she and Sophia were gonna get along at first because they’re so different, but their opposite personalities tend to balance each other out more than they clash. As different as the two may seem, they are similar in how they have their own set of strong core values that they are prepared to defend when challenged (it’s just that Virdandi is also willing to argue over more trivial things too). Lately, however, Sophia’s been kind of a wet blanket so Virdandi has been giving the other apprentice some space so she can focus on her own training.

Ferrum - Although Virdandi hated Ferrum at first for taking Brandr away from her (even though she was the one who pushed Brandr away once he got a keyblade), she warmed up to him quickly once she finally became an apprentice and didn’t feel left behind anymore. Even though she hadn’t known Ferrum for as long, he was still the second friend she ever made and his death hurt in a way she’d never felt before. Virdandi never wants to experience that kind of pain again so aside from Brandr and Sophia she subconsciously stops herself from building deeper relationships with others.

Aqua and Terra - Virdandi was never as close to Master Eraqus’ apprentices as Ferrum and Brandr were, only having met them once or twice before Ferrum’s death. In the present, she sees Aqua and Terra as overprotective goody-two-shoes and believes that if they hadn’t coddled Ventus while he was under Master Eraqus’ care he wouldn’t be so weak. Virdandi will back off if one of them chastises her for picking on Ven but she doesn’t really respect their authority.

Master Hoder - Even though years have passed since then, Virdandi still hasn’t completely forgiven Master Hoder for deeming her unworthy to be her apprentice. (Any chance of letting that grudge die disappeared when she met the person who Hoder actually chose.) Virdandi is aware that the leader of Scala still watches her like a hawk for any signs of emerging darkness, but she hasn’t been scared of her ever since she got a keyblade. Surely the fact that the keyblade chose Virdandi is a sign that darkness will never have a chance to take root in her heart, right?

Ventus - Virdandi didn’t react as badly to Master Hermod’s new apprentice as Brandr did, but she’s still mean toward Ventus on principle. Although she mocks his naivete and sunny optimism out loud, secretly Virdandi finds these traits of his… kinda cute? (Run, Ven, run!) Whatever, Virdandi is just glad she’s not the shortest apprentice anymore. Besides, she doesn’t hate him nearly as much as…

Nemus - From the moment that they met, Virdandi has loathed Nemus with every fiber of her being. She hates that he’s an inch taller than her, that he can so easily push her buttons, and that Master Hoder picked him to be her apprentice after rejecting her. Virdandi makes sure to celebrate every petty victory against Nemus as obnoxiously as possible because she knows how much he can’t stand losing.

Brandr

Idunn - Okay, yeah, Brandr’s a bit of a mama’s boy but most people would be too if they grew up in a town where most folks were convinced that they were cursed by darkness at a young age and she was one of the only people who stood up for them. In spite of having to be a single parent of a child plagued with a condition no one understood, Idunn soldiered on and always tried to treat her son just like any other Scalan child whenever she could. Brandr’s motivation to become a keyblade master came from wanting the other inhabitants of the world to respect him so that Idunn didn’t have to be a social outcast by association anymore.

Master Urd and Magni - Long before Brandr became her apprentice, Master Urd was already a mentor figure to him as she tried to figure out a means by which he could manage his powers. As a result, they’ve been one of the closest master-apprentice pairs until recently as they’ve had a bit of a falling out over Brandr’s increasing reliance on his visions. Aside from the extra burden for Idunn, Brandr never really minded the absence of his biological father as Magni became a paternal figure to him very early on, despite the two of them being complete opposites personality-wise.

Virdandi - Regardless if she was his best friend or hated his guts at the time, Virdandi has always been a constant presence in Brandr’s life. He’s always thought of her as a sister because normal siblings are supposed to go from liking each other to fighting every other day, right? (He had to adjust this theory once Sigyn came into the picture.) They are each other’s closest confidants and worst enablers; no matter how much they argue, Brandr would go postal if anything ever happened to Virdandi.

Sigyn - Brandr and Sigyn aren’t actually related but he still thinks of her as his little sister all the same. Once his main goal shifted from becoming a keyblade master to changing the future, he would’ve stopped training with Master Urd if not for Sigyn as her parents would only allow her to begin her training once either Brandr or Virdandi had their Mark of Mastery. Brandr has had visions of Sigyn as a keyblade wielder and wants to preserve that future for her so she’ll be able to protect herself if his plans to alter fate should fail.

Ferrum - Although it took him some time to warm up to Ferrum in the beginning, Brandr considered him to be the older brother he never had. (Years later, Brandr realized that he might’ve had a bit of a crush on him as well.) Out of the trio, Brandr was the most affected by Ferrum’s death due to having known that the older apprentice would be gone someday thanks to his visions, but misinterpreting the reason for his absence in the future. Now Brandr has to live the rest of his life knowing that his last conversation with Ferrum ended with him telling Ferrum that he’d never forgive him for something that didn’t actually happen.

Sophia - In stark contrast to the other keyblade apprentices, Brandr had a much easier time befriending Sophia since the two of them share a love of books. Unbeknownst to her, Brandr has a huge crush on Sophia, which is a secret he’ll take to his grave. He’s seen glimpses of her future and he’s nowhere to be seen, but she seems much happier there than she is in the present and Brandr doesn’t want to take that away from her (and he doesn’t want a repeat of what happened with Ferrum).

Aqua - When he first met her at the start of his apprenticeship, Brandr had the biggest crush on Aqua and was unable to string more than three words together whenever he was in her presence. Those feelings faded after Ferrum died and Master Hermod got a new apprentice, disappearing altogether somewhere around the twentieth time she snapped at him for criticizing Ventus. Now Brandr dislikes how much of a stickler for the rules Aqua is and sees her as a potential obstacle to any of his plans to change the destined future.

Terra - Brandr used to be jealous of Terra and Ferrum’s friendship whenever they visited the Land of Departure together, but otherwise he didn’t really have any strong feelings towards Master Eraqus’ oldest apprentice. That changed one day when he had a vision of Terra striking down his own master. Now he’s always keeping one eye on Terra whenever he’s around Sophia or Virdandi, while also trying to drop hints to Master Eraqus that he should be on the lookout for a betrayal from an unexpected source…

Nemus - The first time they met, Brandr addressed Nemus as “the lab rat”. He still calls him that whenever he’s giving Sophia or Virdandi attitude (it’s just as effective an insult as before). Brandr finds Nemus’ attempts at attention-seeking and clout-chasing pathetic, but the real reason he’s so cruel toward Nemus is that he’s seen him in the future fighting Virdandi while Scala burns behind them. Due to this vision, Brandr can’t be bothered to pretend to be nice to someone who will end up as his enemy in the future (but really he’s just looking for an excuse).

Ventus - The first time they met, Brandr addressed Ventus as “the replacement”. He only stopped doing so because he was immediately chastised by Aqua and Terra for it. Deep down, a small part of Brandr knows his burning hatred of Ventus is unfair and that he’s taking out all of his frustration on the youngest apprentice because he’s a convenient target. And yet, just seeing Ventus standing next to Master Hermod (he doesn’t belong here, he’s not wanted, leave leave LEAVE!) is enough to set Brandr off.

Yin - Ferrum’s boyfriend was also his best friend since childhood, although it took Ferrum’s departure from Traverse Town for both of them to realize that their feelings were more than platonic. Yin was the polar opposite of Ferrum, initially cold toward strangers and bitingly sarcastic in his speech, but there was no one in the whole universe that Ferrum trusted more. He always wondered why Ferrum never told the other apprentices that they were dating, and this secrecy ended up causing more problems for everyone in the end.

Paya - One of the other orphan kids who grew up on the streets with Ferrum and Yin, Paya was the third member of their trio responsible for looking after the younger children. She met Master Hermod at the same time as Ferrum when the keyblade master saved them both from an Invisible. (Years later, she would often wonder what could’ve been if only they hadn’t run into that heartless on that night.) As per his request, Paya kept Ferrum’s departure and new job a secret from everyone else even though she hated lying to them, Yin especially.

Master Hermod - The keyblade master was the closest thing Ferrum had to a father figure. For his part, Hermod thought of Ferrum as the closest thing he had to a son, but he was convinced that his apprentice had some kind of important destiny. Although he didn’t mean to emotionally burden his apprentice, Ferrum definitely felt the pressure to live up to Master Hermod’s grand expectations of himself. Ferrum’s death left Master Hermod devastated and he ended up being much more emotionally distant from his second apprentice, Ventus, as a result.

Zlatan - The proprietor of the First District Accessory Shop and Yin’s boss was the closest thing Ferrum had to a “father-in-law” figure. Zlatan was deeply suspicious of Ferrum because he wouldn’t tell him what he did for a living or where he went whenever he disappeared from Traverse Town, loudly remarking to Yin that maybe he should date someone more honest and reliable instead. His enmity toward Ferrum was born out of a sense of protectiveness towards his apprentice, as Zlatan had been planning for Yin to take over the business after he retired. Fate, unfortunately, had other ideas.

Ravi, Cor, and Laureen - Ferrum met these three average kids in Twilight Town shortly after the beginning of his apprenticeship. They could tell that there was something weird about him but they accepted him into their friend group anyway and taught him how to skateboard. As the three civilians had been kept out of the loop due to Ferrum’s adherence to the World Order, they never learned the true reason for his sudden disappearance.

Terra - Since they had a lot in common, Ferrum and Terra always got along splendidly on the rare occasions that Ferrum visited the Land of Departure. As Ferrum was three years older and half a foot taller, Terra jokingly vowed that one day he’d surpass Ferrum’s height. (By the time of BBS, Terra is still an inch too short to measure up.) It’s this bond that keeps Terra from giving up on getting through to Brandr and Virdandi in the present day, as he knows how much Ferrum cared about the two of them.

Aqua - Although he found her a bit too self-serious at times, Ferrum enjoyed spending time with Aqua as well but he wasn’t as close with her because they didn’t have a lot in common. However, he always remembered the time she complimented the earrings Yin made him and considered her a responsible young lady who would be a great keyblade master one day. In turn, Aqua still tries to look out for Brandr and Virdandi despite the way they treat Ventus and has vowed that none of the others will fall to the darkness on her watch.

Brandr - Ferrum’s experiences taking care of the other orphans of Traverse Town helped him to gently coax Brandr out of his shell after spending more time with him and realizing that his initial frostiness was due to him not really knowing how to make friends. Once Brandr warmed up to him, Ferrum appreciated how thoughtful and observant he could be, often remembering little details that Ferrum had forgotten or overlooked. (Tragically, he didn’t realize just how much Brandr came to look up to him until it was almost too late.) Like most people, Ferrum never truly understood Brandr’s ability but he always encouraged him to live in the moment and not let his condition define him.

Virdandi - Once she had her own keyblade and less of a reason to be jealous of him, Ferrum had a much easier time befriending Virdandi. Although he did find her brash personality grating at times, Ferrum was hopeful that she’d soon grow out of it along with her anti-social behavior. He tried to encourage Virdandi not to be afraid of her own emotional vulnerability and open up to other people, as being able to let others into your heart is such an important part of being a keyblade wielder.

Sophia - Even though he didn’t know Sophia for very long, Ferrum admired her curiosity about the worlds beyond her own and her eagerness to learn new things. He tried to teach her to not fear battle so that she’d be able to defend herself and others, even if she avoided fighting as much as humanly possible. Since Sophia had bonded so quickly with Brandr and Virdandi, Ferrum was confident that the three of them would make a fine team and could handle themselves if he wasn’t around anymore. Alas…

Nemus

Master Hoder - Ever since she saved him, Nemus has been one hundred percent “ride or die” loyal to his keyblade master, acting as more of her enforcer than her apprentice at times. Although he’s been more open with her than anyone else since she’s still the only one who knows the truth about him, Nemus still doesn’t trust Hoder completely due to the similarities between her and Dr. Moto. Her cold and distant demeanor at times (the other masters claim she used to be a lot different before the death of her brother) makes it difficult for him to tell where he stands with her, discouraging him from trying to get any closer.

Dr. Rin Moto - The scientist is the closest thing Nemus ever had to a “birth mother”. She’s also the main source of his many trust issues. A part of Nemus is still trying to reconcile the maternal figure he knew her as for the first five years of his life with the mercenary researcher she was beneath the mask. Although he’d like to think that he’s left her in the past, Dr. Moto’s lasting influence on Nemus is most apparent in his decision to construct a fake persona for himself once he arrived in Scala.

Hana - Despite being just her “pet”, the young rich girl was the closest thing Nemus had to a real friend when he was growing up. Just like with Dr. Moto, his feelings toward her (and especially her uncertain fate which he could have prevented) are complicated and her influence on him still lingers on. For example, certain aspects of Nemus’ fake “Catkin” backstory are taken from one of the games that he and Hana used to play in the sprawling greenhouses of her family’s estate.

Kingsley and Akane - On the other hand, Nemus has no fond memories of Hana’s awful (to him, not to her) parents whatsoever. Abusive and cruel as they were, these two still had a significant impact on Nemus’ worldview, to the point where he has unconsciously based certain aspects of his new identity around them. In particular, Nemus’ preference for golden things and obsession with improving his social status can be attributed to Kingsley while his use of passive aggression and aesthetic obsession with trees/plants comes from Akane.

Sigyn - Virdandi’s younger sister is the only kid in Scala ad Caelum that Nemus remotely gets along with. It helps that she reminds him of the better parts of Hana and that she didn’t immediately accuse him of trying to replace someone else within seconds of meeting him for the first time. Nemus wouldn’t really consider them “friends” since they don’t have much in common, but sometimes Sigyn will show up with a snack to share and talk about her day while he tries his best not to say anything too condescending. Does that count as friendship? Nemus isn’t really sure.

Sophia - Out of the Fractured Trio, Nemus loathes Sophia the least…but that doesn’t mean that he likes her. Her scientific mindset invokes bad memories for him, making him even less inclined to do what she asks. Plus, no matter how hard she insists that she can be impartial, Nemus knows that Sophia will side with Brandr, Virdandi, and/or Ventus over him every single time.

Ferrum - As Nemus only became a wielder about a year after Ferrum’s death, he never got a chance to meet the oldest apprentice. However, Nemus has come to loathe him by association since everything he does gets compared to “how Ferrum would’ve done it” by both the other apprentices and the masters. There’s no winning when the competition is a dead guy that everyone’s put on such a high pedestal.

Brandr - Like most people, Nemus finds Brandr weird and offputting. The other apprentice doesn’t seem to care much about the things he values like attention and social status, so it’s hard for Nemus to rile Brandr up in any meaningful way (aside from targeting Virdandi or his mother, which will get Brandr to go full scorched earth and Nemus doesn’t want that smoke). Besides, Nemus is too creeped out by Brandr’s powers (and lives in fear that he’ll be able to see visions of the past one day, which would ruin the whole charade that Nemus has spent the last four years building around himself) to actually pick a fight with him.

Virdandi - Way before either of them knew they had a deeper connection to each other thanks to Morpho Biotechnical, Nemus and Virdandi absolutely despised each other. Nemus hates that she looks down on him for being a newer keyblade wielder and will take every possible opportunity to outshine her, especially in front of the masters. He has a lot of fun trying to wind her up but can only get away with it when they’re alone otherwise he will get outnumbered by the rest of the trio.

Ventus - However, the newest apprentice doesn’t have that kind of protection when he’s in Scala. Nemus bullies Ventus relentlessly because he perceives him as weaker, which has the added effect of making Ventus a more appealing target for Brandr and Virdandi (thus keeping them from ganging up on Nemus, at least in theory). Nemus’ real reason for this bullying is jealousy over Ven having a support system when he doesn’t.

(Nemus has never been to the Land of Departure just as Terra and Aqua have never been to Scala ad Caelum. Despite none of them having ever met in person, there’s a mutual dislike between him and Eraqus’ two apprentices by proxy.)

Sulvur gives Jersey a sack full or jewelry he’d “collected” over the years to show off: rings, necklaces, wedding bands. Some enchanted, others weren’t.

“This isn’t even all of it. Mundies back in the day were stupid enough to let themselves get close to my territory." He mused as he plucked out a silver ring, examines it, then slips it on his finger.

“Probably have loads more in the lake , should probably check. Sherif can’t do fucking shit on my territory."

Unprompted Ask || Always Accepting

Jersey scoops up the sack, eagerly dumping it on the counter, focused on sorting the menagerie of jewelry. He's feeling as giddy as a nerd in a comic book store.

Holding a broach up to the light, he's grinning ear to ear. And not in his usual smirky, shit-eating way. It was almost sincere, if that was possible from the cryptid.

"Well shit. Ain't you just a treasure trove. You lookin' to part with any of these family heirlooms of yours?" He chuckles knowingly.

How many items in his shops were 'sold' to him as being passed down in the family when they were OBVIOUSLY stolen. But did he care? No. He just knew that some other Mundies would come around and buy them. Profit.

"You got more? I'll take 'em."

Once again linking to my Cartinelli fic, I’m quite proud of it and I think you’ll like it!

True to the show, it’s full of action and pining, unrealistic injuries and British sarcasm.

Mundy(The Book review guy), is just a tired nerd who reads for fun and his videos are paying his rent so he keeps doing them. Sometimes he has fun little props or dresses up when the piece of work he's reviewing has a theme.

He always looks tired even though he gets a normal amount of sleep. He's got terrible eating habits and is deathly afraid of getting addicted to anything, it does not matter. Too much happiness is a warning shot for him, and too much sadness makes him want to fix his life.

I just like, think that no one wants to hear about Ocs that just...do normal shit all of the time. Even though most aspects of their life are not normal by a long shot.

[draconesmundi]

I've been looking through this project and I'm curious: are there any sapient dragons in Dracones Mundi? Because there's quite a few sapient dragons in mythology, even some from Europe. Are the stories of sapient dragons just in-universe legends and fairy tales, like how there's talking animals in fairy tales? Idk if I've seen that mentioned on here.

No sapient dragons, I'm afraid! I do discuss legends and folklore related to each dragon, but with an understanding that the legends and folklore are not literal events that happen in the world of Dracones Mundi.

So it's exactly like the real world in that respect: wolves exist, but they cannot talk like they do in Little Red Riding Hood, and dragons exist but they cannot make bargains like Zmey Gorynych.

This book is not intended to be a factual encyclopedia, but I love to mention real world mythology and folk tales (more for 'cool trivia' reasons than 'education' reasons - I am not a folklorist, historian, anthropologist or linguistics specialist, I just really like dragons!). For each dragon species there is a description of it's habits and anatomy in a 'field guide' style, followed by information for dragon nerds, such as legends involving that dragon species, but it's made clear the dragons in the legends are a mythological counterpart to the biological dragon, if that makes sense?

Dragon intelligence is roughly the same as an alligator or crocodile. They engage in play behaviour and have cunning and problem solving skills, but they aren't developing language beyond a hiss for 'back off' or a rumble for 'this is my territory'. They have limited tool use skills as they can only manipulate tools with their mouths and, when you're a venomous flying crocodile there isn't much need for tools. They are as smart as they need to be, without a reason to evolve to be sapient or a sophont.

I think as a fun project I could imagine a sophont version of my dragons, like a 'dragonborn', but I don't really have a reason to add them to Dracones Mundi, especially as the worldbuilding implications of adding another sophont species to Earth will melt my brain more than just adding extra beasts to the ecosystem! XD

Thanks for the question! :)

My favorite things I got from the Hawkins year books

Hawkins Middle School and Hawkins High School have different school mascots - the cubs and the tigers

Mike, Will, and Max where on the middle school year book

Fav classes:

Will - Art

Lucas - History

Mike - English

Dustin - Science

Max - Math

Nancy - "All of them...except Mr. Mundy's math class" lol

Steve - PE

Jonathan - English lit

Barb wanted to be a librarian :( me too, bestie, me too

The party's D&D characters:

Will - Will the Wise, True Neutral Elf Wizard

Lucas - Sundar the Bold, Lawful Good Human Knight

Mike - Tayr, Lawful Good Halfling Paladin

Dustin - Oisnogtwaerfayn "Nog", Neutral Good Dwarf Cleric

So basically only Mike's "paladin" title actually fits their characters

Hawkins schools have the wildest superlatives ever, include "most clairvoyant" "best bubble blower" "most likely to steal your man"

Jonathan got voted "quietest" which has the same energy as when I got vote "over thinker"

Steve almost signed up to chaperone the snow ball

Max did sign up for the AV club

For a loser nerd, Mike got a lot of girl's signatures with really nice notes. And I don't believe they're faking, as someone whose done these things people are more likely to stare at you dead eyed than give you fake nice notes

[northwyrm]

I strive so much to keep my 'dragon persona' (writer of Dracones Mundi, comprehensive nerd of all things dragon) separate from my 'palaeontology persona' (professional twitter, answering emails, day job, will jump at the chance to talk about pseudosuchians) and my 'vampire writer persona' (the most cringe writer of vampires and silly things, lover of trash TV and films).

Part of me is like "I could have a combined brand of being all 3 people" and another part is like "real palaeontologists CAN'T KNOW that I make up fake science for my dragons" and "people who enjoy my dragon project's careful respect for world mythology CAN'T KNOW about my extremely silly approach to mythology in my 'anything goes' vampire story" - does anyone else juggle online personas or merge online personas? what's the correct approach? keep things separate or together?
