Heck yes I can!! Thank you so so SO much, I’m so excited to work on this one!
I promise to take breaks for you!! And I’ll take care of myself!!!
Cw! Pregnancy
-Honkai Star Rail men, when the baby is born-
Part two to this post.
Dan Heng: Dan Heng was anxious. Very anxious. So anxious the doctors had to kick him out of your hospital room, so he was stuck pacing outside and waiting with the rest of the Astral Express crew while you went into labor.
Finally, Finally after what seems like an eternity, he’s welcome back into the room with you, and his new baby. Oh, he’s just so in awe. It’s his baby, and you, and you’re holding your baby so sweetly and lovingly, and you’re clearly the perfect parent for his child. You look up at him, ask if he wants to hold them, and when he nods, he takes the baby in his arms and feels all the love in the world rush through him.
His baby.
He would do anything to protect you, and his baby, and he tells you that right there.
“I know,” you chuckle, watching with love as Dan Heng cradles your baby so, so gently, considering the warrior he was.
Jing Yuan: it’s like he could sense when the baby was coming. He was beginning to take days off, like he knew any day it was time. And that proved prudent, because you happened to go into labor on one of his days off. Way to be, General.
Yanqing comes with him to be moral support, and it was the first time in his life he’d ever seen the General look a little…shaken and anxious, especially when he was asked to wait outside while you were in labor.
But he does as he’s told, chatting mindlessly with Yanqing as he waits anxiously to hear some good news. And finally he’s invited back into the room. He steps in, with that warm smile on his face, and he looks at you holding his baby and his chest heats up. You look so, so wonderful. Exhausted, but wonderful. And he gratefully holds his baby, sings softly to them, promises them the world. He’s just…such a great father. It was meant to be, really.
Sampo Koski: (if he even shows up to the birth lolol) Sampo still didn’t want to be a father. When he gets the call that you’re in labor, he considers not even going. But he knows better than to just…abandon you like that, especially because he wants to keep you, so he hesitantly shows up, and waits outside while you’re in labor.
And when it’s finished, he steps through the door and…has to admit…his baby is pretty cute, and the way you’re cradling them with so much love does something to melt his heart.
When you ask him if he wants to hold his baby, he surprises you by saying yes. He does his best to be gentle. But he’s a dangerous man, holding a baby. Still. You’re not worried. You can already tell Sampo’s warming up to the idea of having a child, and by the way he’s talking to his baby you can tell they’re going to be fast friends.
Blade: Blade really has no idea what to do or say when you go into labor. Kafka comes with him to be his moral support, but he doesn’t talk to her or Anything, just stares quietly at your hospital door.
When the baby is born, he’s welcomed into the room, and you immediately, excitedly ask if he wants to hold his baby, despite your exhaustion you seem really enthusiastic. He wants to say no at first. A dangerous man like him shouldn’t hold a baby. But this is his child, and he knows he should…he really should. So he hesitantly takes the baby from your arms, and cradles them in his.
You see his face soften, ever so subtly, before he hastily hands the baby back to you, thanking you for letting him hold it.
Luocha: can’t be forced to leave your side while you’re in labor, regardless of what the doctors say. He’s there the entire time, in the room with you, letting you squeeze his hand.
However when the baby is born, Luocha…surprises you. You of course ask if he wants to hold the baby, and to your shock, he says No. He’s content to just…stand at your bedside and look at you holding his baby. It’s concerning, to say the least. You had your suspicions that Luocha didn’t actually want to be a father, and this was just another nail in the coffin (lol, get it?). You really wished you could’ve seen inside his head that day. See what he was really thinking when he gently refused to hold his child. But Luocha is still a mystery to you sometimes, and if he doesn’t want you to know what’s going on in his head, then you’re definitely not learning it anytime soon.
Gepard Landau: Gepard was busy working when he got the call that you were in labor. The Silvermane guards have Never seen their captain move that fast before. He dropped everything and joined you at the hospital immediately, just barely making it for the birth. Gepard cries a bit when he sees you holding his child, and he nods eagerly when you ask him if he wants to hold his baby.
He’s so gentle. The stern captain of the Silvermane guards, holding his baby. It’s really amazing. He’s crying the entire time, gently and subtly, but still crying and it’s so sweet, you can’t bring yourself to tell him to stop. He brings your baby back to you, plants a kiss on your forehead, and then pushes his forehead to yours, thanking you profusely.

Caelus Relationship Headcanons
Genre: Fluff, Friends to Lovers Word Count: 1k TRAILBLAZER FEELING IN THIS HOUSEHOLD RN - CAELUS, WHAT A PRETTY MAN <333 Also first Honkai Star Rail post WOWOWOWOWOWOW A/N: Of course, being the MC there are various interpretations of Caelus’ personality but this is just mine, please enjoy~
Tumblr media
Everyone on the Astral Express knew you two were going to be together before you became official. March 7 is very vocal about how she thinks you two look good together, Dan Heng gives just the slightest side-eye when you and Caelus hang out and Pom-Pom will make random complaints that you’re neglecting them for Caelus. Welt and Himeko will also make you two pair up for missions if only a duo is needed - or even for simple errands that could really be done solo
Despite that, it was hard for you to tell that Caelus liked you. He didn’t seem to treat you any differently to March 7 or Dan Heng (save for his tinted cheeks), he had no problem approaching you or interacting with you and he always enjoyed teasing you like a good friend with the rest of the group. It was only when the two of you were alone where the cracks would show, and he just makes terrible small talk as his mind draws blanks and he internally panics
“So… uh, nice weather today, huh?” “Caelus, we’re in space.” “Oh. Yeah. Right.”
When Caelus confessed to you, it was nothing excessive, in fact, he was a little too casual about it. You would usually have dinner together and one evening he started stuttering, saying he knew a fancy place to eat and that it could double up as a date. You needed him to repeat himself because you didn’t see it coming
While Caelus isn’t excessively loud or boisterous, he still carries himself with confidence and can dish out some good banter. Your relationship is full of those sorts of antics but when it comes to more serious and intimate moments, he gets shy very quickly. He’s not experienced with relationships and he can’t imagine anything worse than accidentally upsetting you. He’s the type to ramble on when uncertain, narrating his stream of consciousness until not even he could remember what he was originally going to say. Wake him out of his stupor with a kiss and he’ll be back in the moment with you (he still can’t remember what he wanted to say, though)
Caelus is your #1 fan, that man is rooting for you for everything. You need him for support in a fight? His weapon is at the ready. You want him around to help you study? He’s not the best at staying quiet but he tries his damn hardest for you. Do you need a break from any activity? Caelus is running in with a towel and refreshments and asking if you need anything else as he gives you a shoulder massage
Despite Caelus being very protective, he will never stop you if you want to do something dangerous such as joining him in battle. He wants to see you flourish and grow, and if that means being in harm’s way, then at least let him join you as your shield so that you two can get through this challenge together. For you, he’s ride or die, and to be fair that strategy has worked perfectly for the two of you so far
“One man’s trash is a Trailblazer’s treasure”; Caelus will bring back many trinkets for you from his travels, so much so that one wall of your room is just covered in his gifts. If they are indeed fished out from a trash can you won’t be able to tell, he loves to tinker and polish items until they’re unique and personalised just for you - you only deserve the best
No matter how frequently he’s gifted you little items, Caelus acts as though it’s the first time. He tries to play it off as something casual, that you shouldn’t think about the gift too much and he doesn’t mind if you’re not keen on it, but his face is bright red, one hand is nervously scratching the back of his neck and he can’t look you in the eyes
Caelus isn’t excessive on the PDA, but he’s still always touching you. He’ll gladly walk around holding hands and swinging arms or linking arms, or having his arm draped across your shoulders, and you’re not safe from pecks on the face and lips. He also loves to give hugs as a greeting and goodbye. He has no problem initiating affection but whenever you do you can literally see him perk up like a meerkat and walk around with a hop in his step. If you ever flirt or compliment him he gives back the sweetest, beaming smile that seems to contain the light of an entire Stellaron
Caelus is a bit of a gacha - and just general mobile games - addict, but he’ll always wait on pulling on the banner or opening a loot box until you’re with him. You’ve become his lucky charm and even though he only games to pass the time when there’s nothing to do, it’s not as fun if you’re not playing with him or at least watching and commentating
Sometimes you can liken Caelus to a puppy. If he’s bored or has nothing to do he’ll just… follow you around as you do your thing. If you need to enter a building alone or talk personally with someone, you can first expect him to get pouty before relenting and loitering around where you are outside. Whenever you enter the same room as him, expect him to immediately gravitate towards you
He’s an absolute nightmare when you two are separated, you’re not going to be able to go for five minutes without your phone vibrating about updates on the Astral Express and how lonely he is without you around and how you need to hurry up and finish what you need to do and- oh, Himeko just gave him permission to join you, give him fifteen minutes and you guys can spend the day together~

so I romanced Lae’zel out of a suggestion from a dumbass mostly, but was like “I usually don’t stick with the first person I romance in games in later playthroughs anyway so it’s fine if it’s the wrong choice” but it’s actually like 100% the right decision for this character tbh
Like I thematically speaking, Lae’zel just works the best for my character just world building wise
Because like I’m playing a Great Old One warlock and while the text is vague on exactly where or what your patron is (which I enjoy), the game does give you some dialogue that tells you they’re extraplanar (obviously) and if there have been some suggestions through warlock and even GOO specific dialogue that my character has been to said plane at least briefly, presumably to bargain
And GOO warlocks’ speciality is in mind powers. You specifically get things that fuck with other people’s minds and protect your own. The expanded spell list is basically all mind spells. And tentacle spells. You major in psionic powers and minor in tentacle monsters from other planes.
And then like, look at githyanki. Beings from the astral plane who have a long history with extraplanar tentacle monsters, who have innate psionic powers to the point where I’m pretty sure all enchanted githyanki gear I found in the game has psionic traits
Like yes, a GOO warlock who is very happy with her pact falling for a gith is obviously the most obvious choice. Of course my character would see Lae’zel and just start twirling her hair and kicking her feet

How to Vet Authors in Witchcraft-The Buggy Way!
So you’ve found an aesthetically pleasing cover for a book in your local New Age section and you want to know if they’re worth that $25 price tag? You’ve come to the right place! Vetting witchcraft books can be super tricky...especially if you don’t know what to look for! 
My process for vetting is pretty simple, but it covers enough bases to see if it might be something to glance at. 
Look at who endorses the book! Who has raved about it? Do you know anything about that person? For example when looking at a folk magic book with an introduction from Starr Casas I immediately know there might be some Hoodoo appropriation involved because that’s what she is known for! Having an idea of who the ‘big bads’ are in the type of magic you’re looking at helps considerably. 
If the first step isn’t applicable...then I always go to Amazon, Goodreads, Tumblr, etc and look up reviews for the book and author! If there’s even one negative review I read it first then go to the rest. 
I look for ‘trigger words’ in reviews or just by flipping pages of the book itself. Words such as (for what I want to avoid in a book): Kabbalah, mixing together wicca and witchcraft as the same thing, sour jars, smudging, totems, white sage, starseed or indigo children, honey jars, voodoo dolls, shifting, claiming magic can cure illnesses like epilepsy or cancer, having ‘control’ over a deity, can cause cataclysms like hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. Astral Projection being for beginners, not suggesting cleansing/protection methods, Atlantian races, ‘sacred feminine’ without the opposite/masculine.
Check the authors social medias/websites! I can’t stress how easy it is to spot someone using hoodoo work like honey jars or (specific) cow tongue bindings when they post all their spellwork on their insta or website. 
Do they have a shop? Check out what the shop sells and where it’s located! A lot of Hoodoo and Vodun appropriators have French Quarter ‘conjure’ shops.
Check their bibliography! Is it decently sized for the amount of pages the book has? Does it seem small? Who have they referenced? Is it someone on your personal no-no list? (A decent bibliography for say a well-researched 300 page book would be about 10-15 pages minimum. A lackluster one would be say 5 pages or less.)
Of those references used in the bibliography...are any of them major problematic individuals? Have they referenced the Frosts? Or other big no-nos? If not, you might be good!
If it’s a small bibliography, flip through and see if any of the information sticks out as UPG (unverified personal gnosis) which means things they can’t verify as accurate? If so it might not be the book you need! (Unless you are looking for personal accounts of something.)
Is the author associated with controversy in other areas? A quick google of “Author name controversy” will likely pull up some results if so. Check over the author’s stances on important matters like race, religion, etc if applicable via their social medias. 
And there you have it! My quick and easy, google-able vetting process that when mastered only takes a few minutes while standing in a bookstore instead of wasting money on books that don't suit what information you are looking for! It isn't foolproof, but it should help you avoid some of the bigger let-downs.

Brain Curd #41
Brain Curds are lightly edited flash fiction - practically first drafts - posted daily and sometimes written with the express intention of being terrible… but, you know, in an endearing way. Names and locations have been changed to protect the identities of the fictional. Please enjoy.
I haven’t been sleeping lately. The voices keep me awake. I don’t remember what they said, usually, but one stuck with me last night:
“Goodbye.”
These voices come when I am half-dreaming, in a sort of contradictory way where I know I’m in bed. I can feel the sheets, the pillow bunched under my neck, the weird position I have my left arm in that I know I’ll regret later. But I can also feel the stocky waitress touch my waist as she brushes past me behind the counter of a diner, a tingly sensation like sharing space with a ghost.
I sit down, still well aware I’m laying. “What’s the cheapest thing you’ve got on the menu?”
She leans on the counter. “A big ol’ plate a’ hash browns, I reckon. Two ninety-five. I can throw a couple eggs on top if you like, for a dollar each.”
I shudder. My stomach is upset. “Maybe just a cup of hot tea.”
“Sure thing, hon’.”
I lay my head down on the cool vinyl countertop, nearly aligning my astral form with my physical one. I close my eyes for a moment, and when I open them again, he’s there. I can’t take my eyes off of him, even to blink, but I couldn’t bear the thought of eye contact either. I don’t want to know his face.
He whips his newspaper in the air as he turns the page. “Hm.”
I’m not sure what section he’s reading. I never touched the newspaper unless it was the comics section. But he reads intently. Something in there has caught his attention. He turns the page toward me.
“You see that?” He says. I squint to look but I just barely can’t read it. Part of me knows whatever news it is is only a figment of my subconscious anyway.
“What time is it?” I ask.
“Silly question.” He responds, and brings the paper back to himself. “It isn’t.”
“It has to be some time, doesn’t it?”
“It has been.”
I still won’t look at his face.
“You didn’t read the article, did you?”
“You didn’t give me much time to look at it.”
“You never read anything I ask you to.” He takes a sip of his coffee. Two red stirrers swirl around in the mug. “It wouldn’t make a difference.”
“Maybe it would if you’d give me a chance.” I take my head from the counter, disorienting myself with misaligned senses. “Hand it here.”
He pulls the page out and hands it over to me. I can see the newsprint on his fingers. I take the paper, careful not to touch his hand.
The letters are hazy, but I swear they’re shaped like words. I run my finger along them, trying to make something of it. But I can’t. I put it down.
“I tried.”
“No you didn’t.”
“How would you know?”
He growls. “I was there.”
“Where?”
“Where it happened. And it happened right here. Don’t you remember?”
I look around me at the clock on the wall, the rotating display case with assorted pies, the Americana decor spread on every surface. He leans back, and behind him I can see out the window across the street to the old grocery store.
“That isn’t there anymore.”
“It might as well be, if you’re not going in.” He takes a syrup dispenser filled with cloudy white liquid and begins pouring it on the counter, forming a river that ends in a waterfall into my lap.
A drip hits my khaki shorts and for a moment I can remember all of it. The tears start pouring out uncontrollably and I fall from the stool to the floor, weeping. He gets up from his seat and stands over me, his face obscured in shadow by the bright lights of the ceiling. He had only one more word to say, and it came from outside my bedroom door.
“Goodbye.”
I woke up in a panic, though I wasn’t truly sleeping. I haven’t been sleeping lately. I don’t remember why.

✧ INTRO POST ✧
[DISCLAIMER: THE VIEWS AND OPINIONS EXPRESSED ON THIS ACCOUNT ARE MY OWN AND MAY NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE OFFICIAL VIEWS AND OPINIONS OF THE HOENN POKÉMON LEAGUE.]
(in other words, this is my ‼️unofficial, not league official‼️ spam rotomblr, so take everything i say on here with a TINY grain of salt & don’t expose me to the league when i say something stupid, because i will inevitably say something stupid)
-
hey rotomblr! been gone for a while so i figure it’s about time for a reintroduction!
my name is floris (they/them), and i’m an aspiring future professor and the current hoenn champion, which i have held the title for 8 years running as of this post! i was named on 8/13/2015 when i was ten years old, which some of you might remember the news coverage of. (side note: don’t look up any of my old interviews, they’re embarrassing as hell)
Tumblr media
^ this is my official hoenn league trainer card! (no you will NOT see mine or my ‘mons registration numbers thank you) and before you guys get all up in arms about two of my hoenn registered team members being alolan, my League team is slightly different, and i don’t reveal that publicly.
the first is my blaziken, my sweet boy apollo <3 my first ever pokémon, given to me by our lovely professor birch! we’ve really grown up together, and despite how much i raised him, i think he raised me a little bit too. he’s a sassy, spoiled brat at his core but still incredibly loyal and affectionate. he’s my best trained, and dare i say my strongest. very protective, very loyal, impulsive about battles.
the second is latios, a member of the eon duo, who i met on a hidden island off the coast (not disclosing where) after his sister petitioned former champion steven stone and i for help. we saved him from illicit capture and he insisted upon traveling with me. he doesn’t take anything too seriously, but he’s not necessarily hyper.
the third is lunala- or nebby, who i technically adopted? i met it a couple of years after becoming hoenn champ, when i was 12, during my first attempt at beating alola’s league. it’s a long, long story, but tl;dr, after it evolved, its caretaker (a friend of mine) left it with me, saying i could take it on more adventures and give it a better life than she could, and i’m doing my best. it’s just happy to be along for the ride, really :)
fourth is rayquaza, who i met atop the sky pillar when i petitioned it for aid with the whole meteor situation. somehow, bewilderingly, i became its Chosen. i’m now its caretaker :)
fifth is my sylveon, pixie! she was an eevee i’d caught early on whose name i couldn’t decide on until one morning i woke up and she had just evolved overnight into a sylveon, and i was young and had no idea that could happen, so i assumed she was lost and had just somehow wandered her way into my tent lol, so i took her around the nearest town and asked if she belonged to anybody. eventually the pokémon center confirmed she was indeed mine! she was confused while this was going down but very happy to be there. she’s very playful and also very intent on helping me with tasks she thinks i need help with! it’s very sweet of her.
sixth is my lurantis, hyacinth, who i met in alola. she’s shyer and tends to keep to herself, and she really likes gardening like a lot of my grass types do. she brings me plant cuttings a lot!
[OOC UNDER CUT]
hi, i’m floris (@astral-faery)! i’m nearly 19 and use they/them pronouns this is a self insert/pokésona blog. canon divergent bc they replaced may in ORAS, but can adapt to most canons! i’m almost 19 and so is champion flor so this blog swears and will have more mature references, but *no* explicit nsfw rps/ERP!
champion flor will answer most asks, even abt their trauma 💀 they might answer asks from sentient/talking/anthropomorphic pokémon, but there’s like NO chance they’re gonna believe it.
i’m very much okay with high stakes rp! champion flor and their pokémon can get hurt irp, but they *will not* get killed. i’m also NOT EVER okay with, like.. sadistic shit. heavy angst is fine, being weird about the angst and having your evil character talk to mine about how much they like to torture pokémon is not.
NO pokémon nsfw allowed EVER! pokémon function as beloved and whimsical pets on this blog even if a couple can technically communicate telepathically. that is how they will remain. don’t be fuckin creepy, yo.
if you’re a pokemon irl/rotomblr blog please interact and send asks and reblog my posts! i was in this community months ago and want to get back into it. i hope to see you guys around!

Inspired by our convo but are there any Crazy EXGF songs that remind you of Avatar: Last Airbender characters? Or if its tough cuz those songs are so hilariously inappropriate and atla is more serious, how do you think the Avatar characters would interact with Eoa characters and maybe your ocs?
Yayyy, thank you for the ask! I’ll try to answer both of these questions.
CEG Songs and ATLA Characters:
I’m The Villain In My Own Story - Katara, because it’s me with blood bending again, yeah
After Everything I’ve Done For You (That You Didn’t Ask For) - Azula, I don’t know it just reminds me of that last scene between her and Ozai XD
You Go First - Katara and Toph in the Runaway XD
Get Your Ass Out Of My House - Ozai to Zuko
I Hate Everything But You - Zuko to Mai
Man Nap - Aang sort of? When the guys tried to put him to sleep before the battle with the Fire Nation
Face Your Fears - Iroh to Zuko
What’ll It Be - Zuko
You Stupid Bitch - also Zuko, I think?
Dream Ghost - the previous avatars to Aang XD
Friendtopia - the Gaang? (oh, or Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee)
Remember That We Suffered - Hama to Katara
This Session Is Gonna Be Different - Iroh to Zuko, specifically in season 2 when Iroh opened the tea shop (not “session” obviously but I think it fits them in the sense that Iroh hopes Zuko will finally find the right way)
And I’m A Good Person, of course, for redeemed Azula as you said XD
Those are the only ones I can think about now, but I’d love to hear your ideas if you have any 👀
The ATLA & EoA Characters:
Alright, this question is harder actually XD
The first thing I’ll say is that Gabe and Sokka are 100% besties, I want my boys to be friends. To be more serious, though, they do have some things in common, so I think they’d actually get along, not because I’m biased :’) They’re both warriors who want to protect their loved ones and prove their worth, so they’ll find the common ground for sure.
I think Mateo and Aang would have an interesting dynamic, too, given the fact all wizards have been banished from Avalor during Shuriki’s reign and Mateo was basically the only wizard in his kingdom, plus he’s self-taught, whereas Aang is the last airbender (just imagine Mateo going to the astral to communicate with the Maruvian wizards like Aang can communicate with the avatars (well, Mateo can summon spirit guides from the spirit world, but okay, this is not really the same thing))
Zuko and Esteban are quite similar, but I don’t think they’d get along very well, rather be annoyed with each other, because they’ve both got a temper XD But Francisco and Iroh would definitely become friends, I tell you.
I still haven’t said anything about Elena, but I think she’d have a nice relationship with Katara, given how caring and people-oriented they both are. Plus, Katara is a self-taught waterbender, whereas Elena gets a hang of using her scepter (mostly in season 1, but yeah) and they both have forgiveness issues akjsndkfk
The ATLA Characters & My OCs :3 (thank you for putting them in your ask <3)
I can write the whole novel about Valerio now XD At first, Valerio would get along with Iroh. Both are wise, understanding, supportive and Valerio loves tea. But once he meets his nephew, he realizes that he sees himself in Zuko in many ways and wants to guide him in the right direction, which also helps him to look at his own path from a different perspective.
Valerio is interesting (pfffffft) because on the surface he does seem like a grounded person (in the sense he seems to have everything under control and not really have any personal life problems), but he’s damaged deep inside and has many unresolved issues that gnaw at him and don’t let him live the life the way he’d like to, so I think he would make a good company for Iroh and Zuko.
As for my other characters, Frida would get along with Katara for sure and Ángel with Sokka and surprisingly Ty Lee (after “redemption”) because they’re actually quite similar.
Matías also needs a friend but I can’t think of anyone aljsndkfk
I’ll stop here, but if I get more ideas, I’ll share them with you! And again, I’m really excited to know whether you got anything 👀
Thank you again!

Of course I have to ask for Kaito, but also, the Arclights :3c
Oh boy........ I did mr Tenjo already, so it's time for the drama club family
First impression: Honestly... I was a little bit terrified! I knew how beloved all of them were and I was waiting for one of them to ruin my life lowkey, so definitely a little terrified
Impression now III: My favorite Arclight, I want to protect him and also let him throw swords at my enemies for the rest of my life and his, I love that's he's the definition "call an ambulance! but not for me!!!!" IV: I hope Thomas IV Arclight is very pissed that Kaito's my favorite Zexal character; surprisingly, even tho he's my kind of crazy, I'm not rly a huge fan of him in canon, but more the idea of him? If that makes sense, like I like him but he ranks surprisingly low compared to most of the cast because I wasn't too big on how his character was handled, sweats nervously V: I love you and I think you’re very a interesting character, but I really want to pull hard on your long beautiful hair sometimes because you have no right, please wear your hair in a braid again though, that was a LOOK Tron: A Yugioh Dad tm, no real feelings one way or another, but I'm glad he came around for his boys, compared to other token parents in this franchise he ranks surprisingly high! I imagine he destroys all three of them in Mario Kart
Favorite moment III: Throwing a whole ass sword at Mr Heartland omfg, WHY DID IT MISS!!!! WE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED!!!!!!!!! He also was never leaving Yuma's side after Astral sacrificed himself and that's gjdsklagjklgjdsklga IV: I’m torn between his duel with Nasch because he’s just such a freak how he talks sometimes, and I also love how he just… goes all out against a pair of middle schoolers, like there was never a hinge on him to begin with💀 I also love that Thomas is introduced as this celebrity, champion duelist but NEVER wins against a named character that isn't one of Yuma's background friends or in a tag with someone else gjdaskljgdklsaj, accidental cringe king V: I really like the arctic moments, specifically when he makes this face
Tumblr media
Tron: Being an absolute menace at the WDC second round party fjdhdhdh, you can just tell he’s the father of the other three
Idea for a story: I have no idea honestly fjehdjje, they’re usually just recurring characters or background in the drafts I have But I do love writing my friends’ oc and canon pairs so they’ll usually get the focus in those, which I gotta finish the Vkou one soon 👁👁👁👁
Unpopular opinion: SWEATS I've never been shy about this fact, but I am not a huge fan of how quickly some of the Arclights' conflicts with the main cast get resolved and that really impacts how I view the Arclights' relationships with the cast gdjsaklg Like it's yugioh and cards/character popularity will always do all of the talking, there's no way you watch yugioh for great character and story writing, but like Rio could have fucking died from her duel with Thomas lmao It makes for some BANGING fanon content and like we get all of the context for why everything happens and for Thomas' motivation and guilt in general, but... if you put someone's sister into a coma in intensive care, I feel like canon should probably do a little bit more than some bickering and dueling with her brother, you know-
Favorite relationship: I do love their family dynamic and how they’re trying to patch it back up, it’s very touching and Michael’s original anguish and resentment towards Yuma’s family is very touching 🥹 III - Michael was in love with Yuma even though he knew it was unrequited, send TWEET IV - What do you mean Momoya isn't canon, she's canon to ME; I'm disgustingly biased but I love how much IV and Kaito just hate each other lmfao Also love what could have been his turbulent friendship with Ryouga, you know they subtweet each other on the daily V - Kousei ofc, what do you mean he's also not canon; I always affectionately refer to Kaito and Chris as divorced I REALLY wish we saw them go through more of the hurdles to get back to ~before~, we only saw a little in the arctic but you know these two are bickering Tron - I need a post canon one shot of how him and Faker work together, I want to be a fly on the wall of the first day
Favorite headcanon: They ALWAYS host dinner parties for the squad, Thomas and Tron need to show off how much better their estate is than the Kamishiro's so they always offer to host

LORE RANTS !! [Enstars OCs] 
!! SPOILERS PROBABLY !!
Welcome to lore rants and this just me ranting about random ideas for my Enstars OCs Stories!!
So essentialy, the stories of my OCs happen after 1 year of “!!”’s story- and they’re kind of like a second gen? And most of them are so obviously inspired by the first ones
Yumenosaki’s Current State in the story:
Yumenosaki Academy still has some members from the ES units, they’re hopefully third years by this time and will probably graduate.
Within Yumenosaki, everyone has declared about a new era, the so called, “Reign of the Second Years” considering when students turned to second years units started appearing, such as Yumenosaki’s Top 5, SHOTGUN, La Vie, Morte, Chivalry and Magica.
The Reign of the Second Years is still mostly talked about as those second years really remind the 3rd years of what Yumenosaki was like.
The school has their own set of Eccentrics as well. Isamu anonymously made the rumors of the Eccentrics. He used it to his advantage to try and bring down those who rival his unit. The current school’s “New Gen Eccentrics” / “Eccentrics 2” are, Arata from MACH!NERY, Matsuru from Magica, Ayumu from ASTRAL, Inei from Morte and Wakumi from La Vie.
Like I said, Hatsu may be the Eichi copy here but really it was Isamu who did it. Most people actually assumed Hatsu created the rumors but that was quickly debunked by Seina who claimed Hatsu would never hurt Wakumi or hell, EVEN HIS OWN UNIT. And he also always protected Wakumi from whatever happened.
Here’s a fun fact, Tanami Hasumi is actually related to Keito!! Keito makes Tanami report on almost everything that happens to Yumenosaki because he fears for Tanami. He mostly doesn’t trust Hatsu and Isamu and finds Hoshi interesting.
Another fun fact: Tenjin (from Morte) is related to Hajime! And Seina was adopted into the Oukawa family. So he knows Kohaku. The two often fight about small things. Tsukasa is almost oblivous to the existence of Seina.
Isamu is an Ibara copy btw!! He has like 2 boyfriends, Seina (The one that looks like he was raised by Yuzuru and Tori) and Seiko (a literal Yuzuru copy as well).
Fun!!
I’ll rant about my favorite ships later!! Feel free to ship the characters you know about from my OCs LOL!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE NOTE ALL OF MY OCS ARE EITHER 2ND YEARS OR 1ST YEARS.

This came together a bit easier than I was expecting, but I think it has the spirit of the original conversation while also having Bill and Laura being as familiar as they would be after knowing each other as they do.
“We’re not going to start that. They’re still human beings. Tell the captain that I expect daily reports on the wellbeing of the prisoners, and if there’s any mysterious deaths, the Astral Queen may find herself on her own without the Galactica’s protection,” Laura instructs, and as she does is torn between admiring her nerve for offering up the Galactica for protection without his consent, but he also feels annoyed because of the exact same reason.
“Yes, Madame President,” Billy responds, and Bill is shocked to hear someone call Laura that for the first time, though it also seems right, before getting up and leaving.
“EJ, can you give your dad and I a minute?” Laura requests as even after everything that has happened, she still wants to keep her daughter from seeing her and Bill fight.
“Sure,” EJ says to her mother, recognizing what she is doing and not having it in her to argue against it, not after everything that has happened. “I’ll wait outside,” EJ tells her parents.
“Don’t go far,” Bill tells his daughter, as he knows there are a lot of dangerous things going on at the moment and he wants her safe.
“I won’t,” EJ assures her father as she heads out and because it is clear to her that they want to talk alone she closes the hatch behind her.   
“That looks like a nasty cut,” Laura notes, trying to tell if he has gotten stiches, but Bill is currently too far away for her to tell.
“That’s what happens when you fight a machine,” Bill responds, as he walks over to Laura. “Cylon’s look like us now, Laura, right down to the blood,” Bill explains, having no intention of keeping that from Laura, as he sits down across form her.
“Are you sure?” Laura asks, her voice shocked, realising that that means things are about to get so much worse.
“Positive,” Bill responds. “They could be anyone,” Bill tells her.
“Well, that’s horrifying,” Laura comments, knowing that it is going to be a huge problem, and she just adds it to the list, and she leans back on her chair. “Are you planning to sage a military coup?” Laura asks.
“What?” Bill asks shocked.
“Do you plan to declare martial law? Take over the government?” Laura asks, leaning forward once again.
“You know me better than that, Laura,” Bill tells her, as he has always made it clear how he feels about marital law, something which he would think Laura should know.  
“I thought I did,” Laura admits, and Bill realises that his earlier words hurt her more than he realised, and he isn’t sure if he can make that right.
“I’m President of the colonies now Bill, which makes it my responsibility to look at the bigger picture, and the bigger picture is that there are fifty thousand civilian refuges out there who don’t stand a chance without you and your ship to protect them,” Laura tells Bill.
“You will if you stay here at Ragnar,” Bill tells Laura, thinking that is for the best. “You and the fleet can stay here where it’s safe, the storm here effects all Cylon technology, while the Galactica will rejoin the fight, because that’s my mission,” Bill says, knowing that Laura should understand that because his ‘mission’ is always what got between them.
“Your as bad as Saul,” Laura says, rolling her eyes, and Bill recognizes the insult. “I can’t believe I’m the one who has to keep saying this, but the war is over, Bill,” Laura tells him, needing him to comprehend that.
“Actually Laura, it hasn’t begun,” Bill corrects.
“That’s insane,” Laura says, trying to keep her frustration down as twenty-seven years of experience tell her that becoming frustrated won’t get her anywhere.  
“Would you rather that we run?” Bill asks, not understanding how Laura could think that’s a good idea.  
“Yes, absolutely,” Laura answers, without hesitation. “It’s the only sane option we have,” Laura informs him. “We leave this solar system, and we don’t look back, it’s our only hope,” Laura tells Bill, needing him to understand as while she can lead the fleet if they are going to have a chance at survival then they need Bill and the Galactica.
“And go where?” Bill asks, wondering if she has really though that through.  
“I don’t know,” Laura admits. “Another star system, another planet, somewhere where the Cylon’s won’t find us,” Laura says to Bill.
“If you really want to run then you can, but this ship will stand, and we will fight,” Bill says, even though he doesn’t want to say goodbye to Laura and EJ again, and Laura continues to try to push her frustration down.
“That’s a mistake,” Laura tells Bill. “Bill, I need you to really listen to me, the human race is about to be wiped out,” Laura tells him “We have fifty thousand people and that’s it,” Laura reminds him. “Now, if we are even going to survive as a species, then we need to get the hell out of her, and people need to start having babies,” Laura tells Bill, needing him to understand exactly what is at stake.  
“Excuse me,” Bill says before getting up and heading out of the room, Laura’s words having more effect on him than he’d like to admit, and after watching him go Laura takes off her glasses and rubs her eyes, feeling a headache coming alone.
“I’m going to guess that didn’t go well,” EJ’s voice says, and Larua opens her eyes to see that her daughter has walked back into the room.
“Honestly it went about as well as I was expecting,” Laura says, knowing that the best she can hope for is that Bill thinks about what she said and realises that running is their only option.
“Dad wants to fight, doesn’t he?” EJ asks, as from the whispers she has heard, and what her uncle said earlier, that’s what she assumes is the case.
“He does,” Laura confirms.
“Do you think that is a fight that could possibly be won?” EJ asks her mother, and for a few moments Laura debates how to answer that, as she doesn’t want to lie to her daughter, but she also doesn’t want the truth to traumatise her.
“No, I don’t,” Laura admits, deciding that answering the question honestly is for the best.  
“Then I really hope Dad listens to you,” EJ admits, knowing that she doesn’t want to lose her father now that she just got him back, nor does she want to lose Lee who would also be in danger if their father decides to keep fighting.

ꕥ — WELCOME TO MARE COSMIA, STELLE. 🌗
Tumblr media
ꕥ  — OOC INFORMATION;
name / alias: giselle age: 26 pronouns: she/they ooc contact: cinderdrift @ tumblr, @VA11HALL_A on twitter other characters in xc: yang xiao long (rwby), yae miko (genshin impact)
ꕥ  — IC INFORMATION;
name: stelle age: 22 pronouns: any series: honkai star rail canon point: version 2.0
app triggers: psychological manipulation and mentions of self-sacrifice; death, parental death, classism, and violence are mentioned and discussed in the expanded backstory
personality:
stelle seems aloof at first; someone you wouldn’t approach because they always carry a neutral expression and primarily speak in flat tones. some members of the astral express crew even feel as though it’s impossible to get them to open up, so they never pry, always giving stelle the space they think she needs. but when you talk with them, they’re deeply empathetic and have a very sharp wit. they like to do things that may not seem normal because everything is new to them so normal doesn’t matter. they’ll look in a trash can over and over simply because they can, and sometimes they may be rewarded for it. they’re able to adapt quickly in social situations, taking on the big sister role to some they’ve come across and a close confidant and ally to others. as any true protagonist, they don’t take kindly to cruelty and will do anything in their power to end any sort of oppression or hostility between people. they’re also extremely self-sacrificial, repeatedly putting themselves in danger to protect others by using their own body as a shield. while they may make jokes or “complain” about being sent on tasks by everyone, they’ll still follow through because if they don’t, who will? who else can keep the people they care for safe?
something your muse struggles with: their own destiny and sense of purpose. they know now they’ve been following someone’s script for their life, and they want to do anything they can in order to free themselves from that narrative. your muse’s greatest strength: the kindness they show others. they try to be nice to everyone, even including spam texters, simply because they feel like it’s the right thing to do.
history / background: 
the first thing they hear is kafka’s voice. they’re still processing the millions of questions in their mind when one word from her cuts through all the noise: listen. she gives them their part in the script, the role they’re meant to play from the moment they wake up.
listen: at the end of your journey, all that perplexes you and troubles you will be resolved.
they��re not even sure if she’s telling the truth, but her words have some level of effect on them, as if they’re genuinely unable to doubt what she’s suggesting. and so they do as they’re told, and they listen.
listen: as long as you know in your heart where you’re heading, you are guaranteed to see the ending of your story.
and then, before she leaves – listen: you won’t remember anything except me.
from the moment they exist in the universe, kafka has her claws in them. they are dancing to elio’s tune, playing a part in a script they’re forced to forget. and then they wake up.
they awake with no memory, greeted by two unfamiliar figures, two people who would become like family to them. she tells them her name is stelle. she doesn’t remember picking it, but somehow it feels right. she says it in her mind just to ensure of that fact. the two are march 7th and dan heng, part of the astral express crew – trailblazers. people who go around the universe to help others. she fights alongside them in order to repel the antimatter legion, minions of the destruction. upon the arrival of the doomsday beast, something within them – the stellaron, as they’d find out later – protects march 7th from what would have otherwise been a lethal blow from the monster, almost going haywire in the process. upon waking up, they’re confronted with a choice – stay on the space station they were created on, or go along with the astral express to learn more about what’s inside of them and to get answers about their past.
listen: someone will come and find you very soon, just go with them.
there’s no choice, in the end. unbeknownst to themself, they follow the script to the letter. stelle joins the astral express as a member of its crew, determined to seek out answers for who – or possibly even what – they are.
(for more detailed backstory, i have a separate doc here!)
powers / abilities: 
stellaron: also known as “the cancer of the universe”, the stellaron is a type of lifeform that tethers to a path or aeon. they are also capable of communication with a particular person of interest.
being implanted with this is what allows stelle to traverse multiple paths.
inherent abilities: 
path of the destruction: a bruiser-type class that can deal good damage while having good survivability. can only be used when they’re wielding their bat.
farewell hit: a single-target attack that deals physical damage.
rip home run: a single-target attack that deals physical damage to adjacent enemies.
stardust ace: an ultimate attack that deals physical damage. can either be single-target or an aoe.
immortal third strike: gives a small heal to all allies, but can only be done five times.
the success will also be determined by rolls.
path of the preservation: a tank-type class focused on shielding allies and drawing enmity. can only be used when they’re wielding alisa rand’s lance.
magma will: when stelle is hit, she gains a stack of magma will with a maximum of eight stacks. if magma will has no fewer than four stacks, ice-breaking light is enhanced and turned into a multi-target attack.
ice-breaking light: a single-target attack that deals fire damage, as well as giving a stack of magma will.
ever-burning amber: increases stelle’s damage reduction and has a chance to taunt enemies.
war-flaming lance: an ultimate attack that deals fire damage to all enemies, as well as automatically enhancing ice-breaking light.
items / weapons: 
trailblazer’s ball bat: a curio from herta’s space station that enables them to walk the path of the destruction.
alisa rand’s lance: a lance owned by the first supreme guardian of belobog that enables them to walk the path of the preservation.
starting ability: the stellaron! starting item: alisa rand’s lance!
extra: 
stelle is canonically referred to with he/she/they/its pronouns, thus why their pronouns are “any”! they have no explicit preference for pronouns either, as they can canonically self-identify outside of the gender binary.
has far too much earth pop culture knowledge. 
i’m going to keep this to a minimum to avoid immersion breaking, of course, but they may get a little excited coming across people they have knowledge of.
they’re the tallest female model in star rail, but for the sake of convenience i’m just going to say they’re 6’1!
strongly identifies with raccoons.
sorry for the insanely confusing abilities i am writing a strongly worded letter to hoyoverse as we speak
like basically they just hit shit with a bat or poke shit with a lance. but i have to be technical. sorry
has been described by dan heng as the only person on the express to understand and appreciate dad jokes
fun fact if you choose to stay behind the entire express crew dies on their next mission because stelle wasn’t there to keep everyone safe <3

Happy Birthday Apples
Tumblr media
“Hey, Apps. Happy Birthday,” he says and steps in to wrap an arm around her waist. A tiny lift that wouldn’t be noticed by anyone else raises her higher than her tip toes allow so that she can prop her chin on his shoulder. “Mahalo,” her soft voice is a little more muzzy than normal, and it’s hard to tell if she’s tired or choked up though Baz suspects it might be the latter. They’re half way down to the truck when he excuses himself from her side. Encourages her to continue down to Angie, keys in hand, and he’d be right there. She imagines he needs to use the lav, or maybe he wanted to grab a bottle of water or something. She slides into the passenger side, fastens her seat belt, and has the truck running when he returns and climbs in behind the wheel. Their first stop is a diner, on the mainland, one of those ‘60s style ones with waitresses in poodle skirts and old old rock and roll on the jukebox. The menu isn’t a throwback though and their waitress looks at her weird when she asks for bacon on her veggie burger, but Baz doesn’t seem to judge her. Then he orders a vanilla birthday cake shake for them to split, and Beth does not expect the whole slice of cake. She insists that he takes the first bite and he refuses. Says it’s her day. Like the monster she is, she takes the cherry and a healthy spoonful of the whipped cream.He never takes his eyes off of her. Sometimes she forgets his cage isn’t limited to the city. He drives through the night and they leave the lights and the people and the incessant noise of civilisation behind and before midnight, they end up in the Adirondacks. She laughs and says that it will be impossible to put up their tent in the dark and he only laughs. There’s faint orange light, a Halloween hued rave-trance as it were, and before she knows it, everything is up and comfortable and beautiful. She challenges him about not having the right things to wear. Which is when he produces the bag he packed for her when he left her on the stairs.It’s the cosiest weekend she can remember in a long time. Quiet conversations over coffee, cuddling and star gazing by campfire, and maybe the moment she hoards away the most is when he pulls back her hair and brushes the back of her neck with his breath. It’s a romantic gesture but maybe not the one she was expecting, when he slips the necklace around her and clasps it. It’s a glass apple, but this one…rather than being frosted glass like her ghost-apple is filled with the tiniest of wild flowers. She recognises them immediately as the ones in bloom the evening they spent watching fireflies, the night they shared their first real kiss. She can’t help the tears, and her hands still trembles when he offers her a turtle for comfort. She wonders if he knows the symbolism in it other than the honu being her 'aumakua. Silver, a noble metal in alchemy, has associations with Hina, the moon. Set into it is chalcedony, purple agate in this case. Her favourite colour, but also a stone that represents harmony, balance, self-confidence, and protection. Things Beth needs in her life that she doesn’t possess natively. The stone of science, the sacred stone of the astral depending on one’s philosophy, it also has associations with healing, spiritual enlightenment, and offering clarity to analytical skills. Honu as an 'aumakua is a symbol of longevity and safety, one’s personal mana. Its presence is thought to bring good luck and peace. It offers long life, wisdom and guidance. The weight of the gift is so much more than the few partial ounces on her finger. “Mahalo, Bas'jen, f’ all of dis, for ya effort an’ ya surprises, but mos'ly? For you.”

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 176
Man’s Best Friend with Benefits/The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe
“Man’s Best Friend with Benefits”
Plot Description: a police officer, who turned to witchcraft after working a case with Sam and Dean, is plagued by nightmares in which he murders innocent people
Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: doesn’t seem like it’s simply nightmares, ya know?? Anyway, not saying that staying at home pretty much every night protects me 100% but…I do pretty much stay at home every night. These first five minutes? I’m pretty safe
You know…you never really think about the normal car ride conversations Sam and Dean have. It’s always the arguing, the mission focused ones, the ones with other people there…not the bickering about the Three Stooges
I don’t trust this dog…
Sam. Maybe MENTION that your visitor is a dog. I think Dean might be a little less weirded out……..oh. She’s no longer a dog. Um. Ohhhhhhh, she’s a familiar
It’s frankly amazing with how many crimes the boys commit and how many spells they do that they keep the attitude of “witches bad. cops good.” Come on!! Then again, this show never did understand its largest fanbase and kept trying to appeal to its intended audience
It’s gross that they cast a young, beautiful black woman to play the dog familiar to a white male cop/witch AND had her refer to him as her master. LIKE….
This is just a really bad episode. Holy fuck
“It’s not that you don’t trust me, it’s that you can only trust yourself” that hit Dean and ricocheted to hit me too. I don’t like that, Sammy…
You’re surprised you’re sneezing around Phillipe Le Chat when you’re allergic to cats??
This show is so cheap omg won’t show the transformation of the familiars. It’s actually funny
So let me get this straight, they fucked, and he let down his guard long enough to psychically show her the murders he believes he committed. Cool show
Call me and Dean prudes but it IS a little surprising to get the confirmation that they’re fucking.
Look how happy Dean is that Sam’s proud of him for not even making one beastiality joke for 15 hours since finding out James and Portia’s…arrangement
Tumblr media
They…astral projected into the police department?? Just feels a little like cheating
So did Spencer set him up because being a witch and a cop was just…nope…it’s part jealousy part familiar fucking…
I’m so glad to hear Dean say he trusts Sam…….oh, cool. This is already taking a toll on Sam…..coughing up blood is not usually a sign that you’re good, my dude
“The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe”
Plot Description: Evacuated to a house in Dorset from war-torn London, Madge Arwell and her two children, Lily and Cyril, are greeted by a madcap caretaker whose mysterious Christmas gift leads them into a magical wintry world
(I don’t know why it keeps going back to the last few seconds of the previous episode when i definitely waited for the flip over to the next one. It’s not horribly annoying but it COULD be better)
Oh I do like the kind of awful action sequence at the beginning. Like…there IS room in my heart for bad cgi
Yeah, that’s exactly the kind of kid you could tell ALL OF THAT to and he’d not only understand all the words you just said but also comprehend and believe it
Nah because he actually does get to go home for Christmas…just…not yet
The parallel of Madge and the Doctor both breaking the doors of where the other stays. I don’t know if it MEANS anything but I do like it
One of the best things in the show is when the Doctor is amazed by what he’s done. He’s done some fun remodeling I’m this whole house and I’m in love with it
I loathe to admit it but Moffat does have some good lines. “Because every time you see them happy, you remember how sad they’re going to be, and it breaks your heart because what’s the point in them being happy now when they’re going to be sad later? The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later” Just. So touching. So heart wrenching.
Omgggggggggg her kids begging her to say what she always says at Christmas, that it’s going to be the best one ever. And she (and now the Doctor) is the only one who knows the truth about her husband having died in battle
He…he IS going to make sure the dad gets home safely for Christmas, right? It’s not going to JUST be part of the Narnia-esque world they’re about to go to
I never opened my presents early. I never wanted to. I never even looked for them growing up…
Something’s afoot in the forest
Sure, let’s just get the WHOLE family through the dimensional portal
Great Value Narnia doesn’t even have a Mr Tumnus…
I guess when you don’t have anyone to freak out TO, you’re gonna freak out less?? Yeah, see? Now that there are other people, she can break down about her children going missing on a far off planet in the future and how she nearly got stomped on and…had futuristic guns pointed at her and yelled at
They better explain these people made of wood soon
So, they’re some sort of protectors of this forest. I forgot this was a deforestation tale as well
Mmmm of course she’s going to be strong enough to wear the crown thingy. She’s…unenthusiastically impressed somehow
That is NOT a romantic story. He followed her til she agreed to marry him? She didn’t want to make a scene?? She’s lucky that worked out, that he was a decent guy otherwise, but why is that such a common trope?
So…I mean. Sure. The light from the ship Madge flew the forest spirits in led her husband home. I GUESS
The Ponds always setting a place at their table fit the Doctor IS making me tear up though. I was not expecting that. He finds it so unbelievable and he’s so touched by that

K I N G D O M H E A R T S | R E : W O R K S E R I E S DIVERGE: CHI + BACK COVER — The Foretellers, Ira
After Luxu left, the Master individually met with the other apprentices – the Foretellers. Ira was the first among them. As the eldest and de facto leader of the Foretellers, much to Aced’s disappointment, he was trusted and respected. They all looked to him for guidance. This didn’t escape the Master’s eye. In fact, he found his status among them intriguing – so much that he officially appointed Ira to lead the Foretellers in a long letter. Despite how massive of an undertaking that was, but he didn’t seem to mind.
The end of the letter, which was full of details and notes about his role, had a request for him to meet with the Master at Daybreak’s Peak during the next morning. When he arrived, he found the Master standing at the edge of the peak. It overlooked all seven of the districts in Daybreak which surrounded the city’s massive Clock Tower. Although the air was misty, the morning sun shone vibrantly over the horizon. Without turning to face him the Master asked, “So, did you look through the letter I sent you?”
“Yes. It was rather lengthy. But I’m still analyzing it.” Ira replied.
The Master finally turned to face him. “Wow. No quick skim for you, huh?”
“I just prefer to be thorough.” Ira clenched his fists. “Master, is what you said in that letter – you know, about you leaving – is that true?”
“Oh, yeah that. Bummer, huh?” the Master replied, turning back to the sunrise. “By the way, whenever I do suddenly disappear, I’m counting on you to keep the others calm. Okay?”
“Huh? Disappear?” Ira replied, watching as the Master walked to the cliff’s edge and sat.
“Vanish? Dim? Fade? I don’t know how to explain it. Don’t worry about it.”
The Master took a deep breath. “This universe is full of light. It’s comprised of many smaller worlds, all connected, stretching out further than one could imagine. At the core of this universe is the one great light that protects all of existence. Its ethereal light is spread across the universe like streams in an astral river. But in sharing that light, we also share its fate.”
“I take it you’re talking about the Great Heart, the Heart of Kingdoms.”
“Yep. You’re right on the money. People believe that the Great Heart’s light will last forever. But if its light were to disappear, the universe would be enveloped in darkness.”
Ira nodded. “I understand. That’s why you’ve granted us the keyblades. With them, we can spread the teachings of light and protect the Great Heart from the –”
The Master cut him off. “No. They’re not for protecting the Great Heart.”
He stood up, dusting off his back, then looked over his shoulder. “They exist for another purpose.”
“But isn’t it our duty to protect the Great Heart from the darkness?”
“Nah, not possible” the Master said then stretched his arms above his head. “Do you really think that thing can be protected by just seven people? Listen, what’s important is that we focus on what comes after – you know, assuming the worst-case scenario comes to pass.”
“But we have to at least try! With enough Guardians we could –”
The Master cut him off again. “Well, if you wanna give it a shot…”
“Yes.” Ira valiantly nodded.
The Master turned from the cliff’s viewpoint and walked toward Ira. As he passed by, he tapped Ira on his shoulder and chuckled.
“All right. Good luck.”

NAME: Doppelganger
ALSO KNOWN AS: Fetch 
RARITY: ★★★☆☆
THREAT LEVEL: ★☆☆☆☆ | Most commonly innocuous, though possibly inconvenient. Watch out for verdoppels, a more threatening variety.
HABITAT: Anywhere people live.
DESCRIPTION: Perhaps more a phenomenon than a living thing, doppelgangers are perfect doubles of people, looking and acting like a specific individual. Anyone can have a doppelganger. No one knows how they’re created and what their true intentions are, but they don’t seem to be aware that they’re copies and lead ephemeral and sometimes nefarious existences. There have been cases where a doppelganger lives the life of the original person for a short amount of time, speaking to friends and going about their day as if nothing is out of the ordinary – or perhaps seeking to be destructive – before vanishing. The person is then stuck dealing with fallout and confusion. 
Doppelgangers seem to appear more frequently shortly before a person’s death, but they do not necessarily mean that the exemplar will die. They do, however, tend to be harbingers of bad luck, which may be an instance of cause and effect. Some doppelgangers stick around longer than others – sometimes years. In a few instances, people have claimed to meet doppelgangers of themselves from the future or past, making some scholars consider the possibility of them coming from another dimension and time.
ABILITIES: Doppelgangers do not have any supernatural abilities unless the original being does. They have all or most of the knowledge of the individual they’re mimicking, and may truly think they are that person, making it really difficult to tell the two apart if they’re together. Doppelgangers lack shadows and reflections, and do not show up on film or in photos.
WEAKNESS: Doppelgangers usually disappear on their own shortly after being sighted, but in the case of a persistent one, there are spells that can get rid of them. Fish shaped amulets can be used to protect against them.
OTHER VARIANTS:
Verdoppel: These more dangerous creatures are theorized to be a variant of doppelganger, but some speculate a more demonic origin. Rather than copying a single victim, verdoppels consume those they wish to take the form of. Having replaced the original, they can blend seamlessly into their surroundings and catch their future victims off guard. While verdoppels will take victims of all kinds, they’re thought to have a preference for humanoid prey. Once they take on a form, they’re stuck in it until they consume another victim, and have access to all of the memories and thoughts of their prey. Verdoppels will also have all of the abilities and weaknesses of the individual they consumed. One school of thought is that all doppelgangers have these capabilities but most simply choose to do little harm.
Fylgja: First recorded in Norse mythology, a fylgja is an astral double that appears in dreams, hallucinations, or when someone is on the brink of death. Someone’s fylgja can appear as an exact duplicate of them, an animal, or a surreal combo of human and animals. Fylgja are ambiguous figures and might attack, offer cryptic hints about the future, or guide the dreamer to a certain location on the astral plane. Shapeshifters are particularly likely to encounter fylgja, and they feature prominently in the culture of some traditionalist werewolf lines.
