I’m gonna need to come up with a name for this AU eventually
But consider: The Creature Power Belt
Aka the precursor to the power suit and original prototype of the vest. It only provides the most prominent creature powers and is wayyy more prone to malfunctions.
Of course Aviva would never give Chris her old unstable technology…. Which is why he took it without asking

I know it's wrong and bad to say this, but sometimes I really hate when my friends have other friends. (specifically when I can't also be friends with those friends) because every time I want someone to hang out with or talk to, the only couple friends I have are always busy with their other friends. when I want to plan something with them, they will always choose the other friends over me. they will cancel plans *with* me as soon as other friends ask, but won't cancel plans *for* me when i ask. they will use up their social spoons on other friends and leave none for me. always putting things with me off or simply not responding at all.
i'm always told by random people when I say I want mkre friends "it's better to have a couple great friends than many aquantances" or something like that. but honestly it sucks because you can't rely on 1-2 people to always be there for you every day or every week when you want or need someone. if you keep asking, you're seen as annoying and clingy and they will ignore you eventually (or worse)
it's annoying that they get to fill their social needs at all times, but I never get to. because i'm never the one that gets to go first in the social queue. and when it gets to my turn, it refreshes and i'm pushed to the back again.
the only solution I can ever think of is being friends with my friends' friends too....but for some reason!!!!!! that never works out!!!! (if my friends will even share their friends with me to begin with)

Kamado stares Nick down from across the room. Ushi is in the shower, so Kamado lets the tension build. Some might be unnerved by the tall man, but Kamado's too annoyed by his presence to feel anything else. After a few minutes, she marches up to him as intimidatingly as she can.
"What do you want with Ushi?" Kamado signs, glaring up at him. "If you fuck her and dump her, then I will hunt you down and kill you."
She is completely serious about this threat.

i had to block the hg polls because there were Too Many Of Them, but i'm just wondering... are people voting as in "in a direct combat between X and Y, who would win?" or "out of these two, who has better chances for survival?". it's been ages since i've read the books, but iirc there was a good chunk of Trying Not To Die, not just seeking out to eliminate one's opponents. i realize this would've made the voting more difficult, but i can't imagine, say, either lxc or wn starting a fight with the explicit purpose of killing each other. they're definitely the "wait it out and avoid killing until it's absolutely necessary" type imo! well. poor wn probably gets killed quite early on, but.

Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging?
The Excessively Detailed Headcanon Tumblr Meme
"Let's say… Abhorrent shite doesn't have to be bad, m'guess. I jes' like seeing that with food. If ye can make it taste good, then it's fine."
Anything that goes in a physical way mostly would be a favorite, even if it was a situation of picking only one - in a raw way, she would probably be somewhere between a fight or having sex. Because of Alun's experiences, she has an extreme disdain for 'bad' things to the point of disliking the concept entirely, enough that she will make it good somehow.
That can go into finding pleasure in pain, or her choosing to cook certain things that most wouldn't attempt to, or even consider it - or not seeing an issue in the act, either. However, most if not every indulgence that you will see her willingly partaking in will be physical in some nature, either abusing in drinking, specific substances, eating, or the company of others - of any kind, even fighting.
Her feelings about it are not remotely grand either, she has no respect or affection for it whatsoever despite seeing it as a need, and also sees it for what they are - indulgences for a body.
"M'not a judge, rights an' wrongs are jes' a shield for the heart. But not mine... M'can only live by m'own morals o' what is right, an' wrong too."
