hey so can I possibly have a scenario where Azul reveals his octopus form to his s/o and s/o is surprised, but doesn’t mind it. When he keeps being unsure and hides under water, s/o just dives into the water right next to him and kisses him under water? They can’t breathe under water unlike Azul being human.

this is so sweet!! I hope you don't mind, I did a fic instead of headcanons cause it felt right to me

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ "I'd owe you"

summary: in the context of a first kiss type of post: short fic characters: azul additional info: romantic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu, established relationship

It's not that Azul is nervous.

Of course not. He's long gotten over the "crush" phase of your relationship. No more butterflies or blushes when he sees you, and for the better.

You're... a part of his life now.

He's not a fool, though.

He knows that each phase of the relationship comes with a different test to pass. And he has passed; the butterflies, the blushing and stammering, the confession, the first date, all with flying colors and his usual bravado.

Now, a month in, he knows the next is imminent.

He is NOT nervous!

He wants to... to be prepared, that's all. But he can't put it off forever.

"Is this strange for you?" he asks, neck-deep in the water.

You, beautiful, effervescent in the moonlight, are sitting on the dock, kicking your legs back and forth. It's high tide, and dark. "No,"

Somehow, in his mind, he thought this would be fine.

"Are you certain? We could go back to school, if you'd like," he says, hopeful you'll change your mind.

"I'm sure," Damn it.

"You haven't let me see you yet, anyway."

Damn it, damn it. Was being in the water in his natural form not enough?

Azul curses himself again. He did agree to this, foolish as it was.

Hesitantly, he lifts one, just one tentacle out of the water. He's trying very hard to keep calm, but he feels like he's being crushed.

You don't react. At all. No teasing, sure, but no reassurance, no smiling, not even that look of awe you so often have. He suddenly feels much colder than the water, and, without thinking, goes to hide.

Again.

The last thing he sees are your eyes, widened in surprise, and then he's underwater.

Azul knows he'll have to come out eventually. He can't just leave you alone on the dock. And he has an exam first thing in the morning, anyway.

But for now, he'd like to wallow. And so he will.

Of course, he should have known better than to think he'd get away with that. In seconds, the surface tension of the water breaks, his calm interrupted by you, you, of course you, suddenly with him.

Azul wants to say something, he wants to hide, but before he can even move, your hands are on his cold cheeks. And then, as if it were the easiest thing in the world, you're kissing him.

The world stops.

For the first time in a long time, he doesn't know what to do.

So, he lets you lead. It's... sort of nice. In a way. Then it sort of feels like you're holding your breath, which is a little- oh, right.

He comes back to his senses, grabs your shoulders, and swims you to the surface.

"Look at you," he sighs. "You're shivering. We need to get you back to school before you catch something."

You say nothing. You're smiling.

Azul sighs again. It's like you hadn't heard a word he said. "Too late for that, then. What are you staring at?"

"You're beautiful,"

His hearts stop. He doesn't respond; if he tries, he knows he'll just make a fool of himself.

Of course. After he was so confident he'd left this awkward phase behind, you manage to give him butterflies all over again.

Finally, he clears his throat. "...Thank you,"

"...But don't think that'll excuse you from drying off and getting warm. I won't have you sick on my behalf. I'd owe you."

Your smile warms with something he recognizes, but can't think of now.

"I think you already do,"

Does the Pope actually have the power to remove people for any reason though? There needs to be an investigation first right?

The pope can for any reason remove a bishop from office. It is normally done in cases of scandal, heresy, or the like. However, he need not give any reason. People upset that Pope Francis did this in the case of Bishop Strickland, ignore that Pope Benedict did the same thing, offering brief announcements that did not detail as to why the bishops were removed.

Given that Bishop Strickland actively spoke out against the Pope and there is speculation that he is a sedevacantist, it's understandable why he would be removed from office -- you ought not be in charge of the flock of God, if you do not follow valid forms of succession.

Not to mention, the Catholic Church is not a democracy or republic. It is a monarchy. The pope is the monarch, and is the sole ultimate earthly authority in matters of judiciary things. It's why for something like an annulment, it must be approved by the office of the pope if it cannot be adequately discerned within an archdiocese.

I love his face ;_;

[paragonrobits]

"if the Jedi had allowed for romantic/sexual relationships they would have been better at being guardians of peace" actually having a relationship or attachment to someone in the conventional sense (and not the Buddhist sense of attachment, which is what the Jedi are clearly referring to, ITS NOT THAT HARD A CONCEPT TO UNDERSTAND) does not mean you are more compassionate, understand people better, or have more capacity for goodness

it just means you have a relationship with that person in general.

besides the fact that you DO have to be willing to compromise that relationship if there is conflict between them and your duty (to the extent of 'you have to be willing to let them die if the needs of the many incline that way')

but it also feels like the people who think that having more relationships, children, or being in love with someone makes you more generally compassionate want to treat emotional contexts as a sort of universal MAkes You Good Person thing when there's no reason to see it like that.

Quite the opposite. Anakin Skywalker (AKA, the galaxy's most famous mass murderer besides Palpatine and that guy who manned the Death Star's gun) is very specifically a guy who was motivated by his sense of attachment and wound up becoming the most Super Duper Evil Fist of Turbo-Tyranny, but that's not exactly the point

its that, in real life and in ficiton, there's countless examples of the strange nature of evil where you have a loving family man who is sweet to his children, loves his wife, kind to his pets, and every day goes off to work where he commits unspeakable atrocities as part of his day job; torture technician, working in a facility that facilitates active genocide... the lists goes on.

but it IS a historical fact that most wide-scale atrocities were done by people like this; people who loved their families and were by all accounts pleasant people, and then went off and did unspeakable horrors without hesitation or even much thought at all

loving someone doesn't fill your heart with goodness or make it easier to do the right thing, and NOT having those attachments in your life doesn't make it harder to be a good person. Loving someone just means you love that person. That's it. It doesn't stop you from killing strangers without ever really thinking about it, or the people you're taking them away from, it just means you love a particular person.

caring about a few people in particular won't do anything to stop you from hurting strangers.

Heyy!!! I really liked the young reader (13-14) telling the OB crew that they see them as an authority figure. Can you do it with the first year's please? I hope this doesn't go against any rules thank youu!!!

assuming this is similar to this, which has ace and deuce, so I'll just write for the others :)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ brotherly (encore)

type of post: headcanons characters: jack, epel, sebek additional info: platonic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu

Having been torn from your home, separated from your family and friends, and spit back out in a new place with new people, isn't really as fun as it sounds.

After months at NRC, though, you've managed to make yourself a life here. A new home, new friends, even new family.

Now, sitting close to the person you've become fondest of, you let slip that you seem him as a brother.

His reaction?

should not have said that to Jack. it's not that he doesn't like it, it's that he really does. he puts a lot of value on family, after all, and even before you said this, he considered you a part of his own. this just makes it feel real

now, he just will never leave you alone. making sure you stay out of trouble, insisting on carrying your things and helping with your homework, living for your happiness. it's sweet, maybe a little overbearing, but I suppose that depends on how you look at it

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

you and Epel had always been close. even Vil and Rook have commented on how the two of you are practically inseparable- it was only a matter of time before someone said it

is- is he crying? of course not!!! he's not some sap!! just 'cause you told him he's your best friend and you look up to him as a brother, which is affirming in its own way, doesn't mean 'nothin! he just has something in his eye!

(he's completely over the moon)

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Sebek has always been the one to look up to others, not the other way around. his first reaction is to tell you that you should be praising Malleus, or perhaps Lilia, not him. you're wasting your breath!

of course, he thinks about it all day, and then some. it's just that you think he- the youngest of the group, the very last to get his magic- is someone worth looking up to? could it be possible that you hold the same affection for him that he does for others?

and when you confirm, he can't help feeling a little smug

he vows to use his skill as Malleus' guard to protect you both

It’s time we accept that Percy Jackson is an unreliable narrator. He’s not dumb. He’s just insecure. He’s not clueless about his and Annabeth’s feelings. He’s just in denial. He’s not clueless about Rachel’s feelings. He just doesn’t want to do anything about them. His mother isn’t perfect. He just loves and respects her more than anyone in the world. That boy contradicts his own inner monologue all the time. Do not trust him!!

EDIT: Please don’t interact just to disagree. You can make your own post.
