MAKING A RING OF ICEBERGS INSTEAD OF US JUST RUNNING INTO A WALL THAT HAS CLEAR BEEN PLACED WILLY NILLY! Well Im still kinda lost but Im calling it here for now.

Age: 19

Favored types: Steel, Dragon, Fairy

‐-----------------------------

Dove is an energetic person with a fiery personality, firm in her beliefs, always willing to stand behind what's right. Serving as a self-proclaimed "knight of pokemon", she often takes in pokemon rescues, offering them a home, caring for them, and transforming them Into formidable opponents for challengers.

A rambunctious trainer, who in her beginning years as a trainer tended to act without thinking. Gifted with a shiny charmander at the age of eleven by her father, the fire-type gym leader Kabu, dove served as a gym trainer for 2 years in her fathers gym before setting out on her journey to become a self-proclaimed "knight of pokemon", against her father's wishes.

Although having great potential, she suffered from a large case of overconfidence. Specializing in fire types at the time, she breezed through the first gym, bolstering her confidence. However, the second gym proved to be much more difficult.

The true test, however, came when she went to face her father in the fire the gym.

Despite giving it her all, dove lost in spectacular fashion on her first attempt. The experience left her humbled; the match wasn't close, and kabu hadn't even utilized his gigantamax centiskorch.

The ordeal forced her to briefly reconsider her aspirations, before deciding that this would not be the end of her journey.

Drawing inspiration from the fantasy novels she had read, she began training other types of pokemon, chief among them at the time, a young squirtle she named galahad, who was unable to utilize special attacks. through an intense trip through the galar wilds with galahad and her charmander, cinder, she was able to unlock squirrel's potential, locking down a strategy revolving around shell smash that proved to turn galahad from a shy rescue pokemon into a hyper offensive sweeper.

With this newfound strategy, dove challenged her father a second time, and although the match was close, this time she met with success.

Having earned the her third badge, and her father's blessing, she continued onward in her journey to become a knight of pokemon.

‐-----------------------------

Throughout her journey, dove learned a great deal about many different pokemon, capturing any she didnt already have, and paying special attention to the steel, dragon, and fairy types that reminded her of the stories she would often read. Two years were spent traveling the galar region, taking wild pokemon and expanding her knowledge of battles and strategies.

Badge after badge was earned, and finally, she stood in the stadium that held the championship matches.

With her potential assumed unlocked, she pushed through to the final round, where stood waiting the current champion, leon.

While her battle instincts were fierce, she once again met with a monstrous defeat, though the sight of the two charizard locked together in mid-flight combat was a scene to behold.

Dove was devastated. Briefly. Leon approached her after their match, with an offer to meet his former master, at a place called the isle of armer.

It was there that dove would complete the next step of her journey.

---------------------------------

Once at the island, dove made her way to the dojo, where she met with mustard, a former league champion, and owner of the entire island.

The training was fierce, and though she found a new ally in kubfu, the ordeals were no less grueling.

Dove spent four years on the island, honing her fighting instinct and trainer's mind, deepening her bond with many of her pokemon, as well as kubfu.

Only once she had mastered her craft did she challenge sensei mustard to a battle in earnest. And though the two appeared evenly matched, it was dove's unorthodox strategies that won the day, her dark-type usrhifu landing the final blow on her opponents defending water-type urshifu.

Exhausted, but having a reinvigorated love for the sport of pokemon battles, dove remained at the dojo for a week or two more, going over the basics and recuperating, before deciding to head back out to the galar championships once again.

This time, the challenges were different. It wasn't that her opponents were any weaker, but she and her team were so much more in sync, it felt as if they could read each others minds. Dove had often found herself mimicking her pokemon's movements on the field, but now it seemed as if their lock-step dances were commands in and of themselves.

Finally, it came time for her rematch against leon, and this time, the battle was much more evenly matched.

The battle came to ahead when once again the charizard pair faced off. However, dove had surprised everyone by removing the gigantamax potential from her own charizard.

Though Leon's was much more intimidating with his gigantamaxed behemoth, it was dove's own dynamaxed charizard that eventually stole the show in a short-lived but intense burst of passion and determination.

Utilizing her knowledge of the max flare, dove forced the sun to shine ever brighter, kicking her charizard's "solar power" into high gear. Combining that with a life orb, dove unleashed a short but absolutely ruthless onslaught of fire upon her opponent. And although leon's managed to defend, eventually the attack proved too much, and the opponents charizard fell, a large explosion signaling the fall of a dyanamaxed pokemon ringing through the stadium.

The stadium went stark silent. Not a sound was made until the judge declared dove the winner.

Leon walked up to her silently, and then, looking to dove with the widest grin on his face, held her hand into the air for the whole stadium to see. All at once, the crowd erupted into cheers and whistles, and dove almost succumbed to a panic attack due to the influx of emotions.

-----------------------------

As current champion of the galar region, dove has made several significant changes to the league. Her largest change is holding exhibition matches with other champions from other regions near and far.

Eager to expand her own knowledge, she seeks to fight ever stronger trainers.

She is a firm believer that she can change the world for the better, and will do everything in her power as champion to make sure that the lives of both people and pokemon are elevated.

‐------------------------------

Dove is an avid reader of midievil fantasy novels, and while team roster is always shifting, elements of her affinity for these books always seem to leak into her team somehow. A fairy, steel, or dragon type can always be expected in her roster, and her starter, a shiny charizard named Cinder, os almost ALWAYS sure to be on her team.

Other common pokemon appearances include:

Gardevoir (zelda)

Corviknight (segfried)

Aegislash (excalibur)

Gothitelle (hilda)

Hatterene (blair)

Escavalier (lancelot)

Blastoise (galahad)

Venusaur (snakevine)

Gyarados (wrath)

Steelix (ironwill)

Hydreigon (basilisk)

Dracovish (jaws)

Noivern (smaug)

Haxorus (axe)

Zekrom (zeus)

Galarian weezing (toppomhat)

Sylveon (siren)

Whimsicott (cottonball)

Rhyperior (rampage)

Druddigon (thorn)

-----------------------------------

Spent an hour writing this short story. Spent 2 hours on the body and outfit. SPENT THREE FRIGGIN HOURS TRYING TO GET THE HAIR RIGHT.

Newfound respect for people who make drawing curly hair look easy, cuz goddamn that shit's hard.

Ah well. At the end of the day I'm super happy with the final product.

So happy in fact that I'm getting a 16" × 20" print of it and am putting it in my house because I did a good job, and you should always appreciate your own work.

I hope you guys enjoy the picture, and if you read my little head-canon, I hope you enjoyed that too!

( chris wood, 28, he/him ) class is in session for ANSEM WARBECK. their resume says they’re a WITCH and they’ve been teaching MENTAL MAGIC at the academy for THREE YEARS. the psychological report says they are LETHARGIC and CONTEMPTUOUS, but they’re also IRONWILLED and COMPASSIONATE. we wish them good luck in the new school year.

— * | ansem warbeck is the oldest child of ragnor and celena warbeck. he has a twin brother named arson and while they are identical, they couldn’t be more different. both ragnor and celena are influential members of the magical community and always prided themselves on having a stellar reputation. stellar isn’t quite so stellar though; they are morally gray. they never get into dark magic themselves, but their family has profited heavily from it over the years. ( think … war profiteers, i guess. they never get their hands dirty but they have plenty of blood money ). arson is the dutiful son, the good son, and ansem’s always been the disappointment who couldn’t live up to their expectations. ( the michael bluth )

ansem was never good at doing what he was told and rebelled against the behaviours his parents tried to ingrain in him. he never listened, always liked to do his own thing, and never bought into the whole ‘pureblood supremacy’ thing that they tried to drill into his head. so what if they came from an old witch family? la creme de la crop? magic was magic. he figured if you could do it, you were just as good as anyone else. ( his family disagreed. ) he started at arcanas when he was eleven, like his descendants before him, and was a member of house aquis.

personality wise, ansem is sharp, sarcastic, and doesn’t have a high tolerance for people. the list of people he dislikes is longer than those he likes. he likes to have a good laugh ( sometimes at the expense of others ) and isn’t one to take on responsibility. ironic, given he’s now teaching at the school he used to go to. for someone as intelligent as he is, he does the least amount of work possible and does well but never really exceeds his own expectations. he’s incredibly lazy and can usually be found snacking or napping around the school.

shortly after graduation he worked as a for hire curse breaker. if there was a hex you couldn’t undo, or a curse on your family name, he was the guy you called to fix it. he was good too. it was only after a curse backfired and nearly killed him that he got scared and backed out of it. the fear was greater than the love he had. arcanas was safe, a reminder of good days (and far far away from his family) so he was happy to ya yeet out of the real world. less than a year after graduation, he was enrolled at a magical college and eventually became a mental magic teacher.

another point of irony, given how much he claims to hate people, is the story of how a twenty/twenty one year old mess accidentally adopted an eleven year old. it was an assignment from one of the teachers or housemasters, a mentorship program between tenth and first years. he was assigned jade brantley and at first ? oh boy did he hate her. or rather, the responsibility he felt towards her. it became pretty evident the more he got to know her that they were put together for a reason. her family had sent her to arcanas without so much as a second look and couldn’t have cared less if they ever saw her again. she stayed behind at the school for christmas, as did he to avoid tense family dinners with the warbecks, and that was when their mentorship started to become more like family.

by the end of the year, he looked at her like — his kid, if he was being honest. it was kind of terrifying, wanting to protect another person from the realities of their life, but he knew it was the right decision to make. it helped that his partner agreed; they’d come to care about jade in those months too, and they both knew it was the right call. he contacted her parents, assumed temporary guardianship, and she moved in with them that summer after they graduated. ( the individual that set all of this up, the cheeky bastard, sent them a potted plant as a housewarming gift. a plant that would have needed to have been potted SIX MONTHS EARLIER. he’d be mad about getting played if he wasn’t so happy. )

they formally adopted jade a few years later. they were already family in everything but blood and name — it was simply a formality. the three of them — four, if you counted jessica the cat ( famously known for stepping on faces ) — had been more of a family than any of his blood relatives had ever been. he’s never regretted his choices.

that being said, things weren’t always happy. he and his partner fought a lot, sometimes over nothing and couldn’t remember why they ever loved each other in the first place. but this isn't a story about vindictive exes, it's about two people that do love each other, probably always will, but just didn't love being together anymore. they're excellent co-parents to their adopted daughter and they're working their way back to being best friends even though it's a little awkward. they split up roughly three years ago, shortly after ansem started teaching at arcanas.

he was a bit of a mess that first year, i won’t lie. he probably drank too much, smoked like a chimney, and was trying to remember how to be a person instead of 1/2 of a couple. he’d been with his partner almost his entire life, it was a process — discovering himself again. he eventually started seeing jude montague ( who, ironically, he’d always had a schoolboy crush on when he was a student ) who also taught at the school. one thing led to another and they’ve recently taken things to the next level: they got married. ansem’s still a little terrified this one is going to go belly up too, that he’s going to mess things up, but they’re still in the newlywed phase so he’s not quite as pessimistic on their outlook. it also helps that his family hates jude: 1. he’s much older, even without the whole phoenix thing, 2. he’s not a pureblood witch who comes from a good family name, and 3. he’s a man. yeah, celena warbeck was not happy and threatened to cut him off. she didn’t, of course, but his father hasn’t spoken a single word to him ever since they got married. it’s a game now, trying to see if he can say or do something to make him break. so far, he hasn’t won.

when he’s not staying at arcanas, watching over his water demons, he’s at his house nearby. now that he’s married jude, however, the clan ( bc ansem doesn’t go anywhere without jade, jessica, and by extension kit ) will be moving into his definitely-haunted house nearby. it’s an old victorian, fits jude’s goth boy aesthetic perfectly, and tbh as long as it has decent wifi and an espresso machine? he’ll be fine.

he’s been teaching mental magic at arcanas academy for three years, so connections can be assumed with other staff members and students !! he’s also been the housemaster for aquis, who he refers to as his water demons, so that’s opportunities for connections too! ( there’s also a 99% chance he calls all of his students by pokemon names. sorry not sorry. ) he’s your typical panic first, think logically later, type person, so if he heard about the orb being stolen he’d fear for their inevitable demise. y’know, chaotic and assuming the worst case scenario from the get go.

CONNECTIONS

students with an aptitude for mental magic that he provides additional / advanced work for to challenge them. (2/2) dominic masters & rome hawks.

students who need extra help in one or more of the aspects of his curriculum. this would include after hours help, extra assignments, or one on one attention if they were struggling with concepts (1/4): ella bloom.

students that give him a hard time in class for one reason or another. could be people who sleep in class, talk back, distract others, etc. (1/??): morgan stife.

the unholy trinity: fellow teachers who like to get together and be chaotic, shittalk their students, and forget they’re not seventeen anymore bc they’re fucking idiots who like to troll (2/2): maximus & reserved

fellow teachers who like to get together and drink wine after stressful days, or just when they feel like it tbh. (1/????) maxwell gray.

a rival/enemy from when he was @ arcanas who now also works at arcanas. he can’t remember why they don’t like each other but he’s dedicated to the feud. it’s petty, he knows, but he sucks at admitting he’s wrong. (0/1)

ex-wife. see wanted connections. (0/1)

childhood friend. fellow witches who would have hung around people who were haughty and thought they were better than everyone else. ansem’s parents thought they were hot shit so maybe their parents felt the same. they both rebelled against what their parents wanted for them and it bonded them. (0/1)

partner in crime. (28 years old) this person was very different from ansem. different species, a little more serious, the kind of person you wouldn’t expect to be friends with him. they’re probably the only reason ansem even passed his exams, forced to study, and he forced this friend to actually have fun and live a little. they’re still close but maybe fell out of touch over the years. this person would be new to arcanas as a staff member, or teacher, but would be an alumnus preferably from house aquis but could be any.

others to be added when it isn’t 2am and my brains fried.

Whumpiness 1-10

! I have a lot of asks in my box I didn’t get to, I realized today.

~Physical~

1. Do they have any sort of physical condition or mark that impacts their daily life? (chronic disease, deep scar, disability)

She does not have a disability or condition that impacts her, but her background as a Traveler can mark her for some communities. She still struggles with the stereotypes and prejudices.

2. What is their pain tolerance? Do they close their eyes and block it out, or go into a full blown panic?

Her pain tolerance isn’t great. She’s always healed away pain before it makes much of an impact. It was something her mother drilled into her as a toddler and she uses Light based healing almost without thought for this. Having to endure pain can be difficult for her. (Kharris is markedly better than Khaeris.)

3. How long do they typically take to recover from illness or injury compared to average?

Going with above, she doesn’t usually stay sick long. If she can’t heal away an illness, she does know a lot of traditional remedies and alchemy to help as well. So in general, she doesn’t get sick for very long.

4. What are the most telltale signs that they’re sick or injured?

She won’t move as much as she normally does. Being very kinetic in general, if K is fairly still, something is going on.

5. What is their response to their friends or loved ones in pain?

She nurtures and offers help. She will offer alchemy and her magical healing. Just taking care of them in general.

~Emotional~

6. How easily do they cry? Is it different alone vs in public?

I would say she does not. Maybe not with an ironwill not to cry in front of people or at all, but she’s not a huge crier generally. Her eyes might well up in intense personal distress, but actually crying is rare. Not unheard of, but rare. She would almost NEVER cry in public. Being that vulnerable in front of strangers is unthinkable. There are only a few people she’d probably cry in front of; and there’d be a lot of anger that they saw her like that.

7. Is there any emotion they find difficult to control (anger, sorrow, anxiety)?

She finds strong emotions difficult to understand usually. She has a hard time controlling and expressing her feelings if they’re intense: rage, hurt.

8. Is there a place, name, object, etc. that holds painful memories for them?

Kharris certainly has all that. Hinterlands. Rowan. ... She has a lot more that hold very mixed, strong memories of both good and painful memories.

Khaeris: Not as many. Andaeros.

9. In a dire situation, are they fight, flight or freeze?

She’s often a Flight if she thinks she can manage it. She CAN fight and is effective at it, but if she can get away, she will without hesitation.

10. How stable do they consider themselves? How stable are they really?

Kharris considers herself pretty stable. And she is fairly stable. She has some tender places, and things that could destabilize her quickly, but in general, her footing is honestly more solid than she’d prefer.

Khaeris is ... Not all that stable at the moment. She just got back (like in the last 36 hours) from being in her original timeline and her life has been shaken up in pretty much every way!

ironwill, firenation tetsuki/azula, 21) things you said when we were on top of the world

Iron Will, 21) things you said when we were on top of the world

“Green suits you,” Azula says from behind her, voice as diverting as ever. Tetsuki doesn’t tense up, though with anyone else she would–hating the idea of anyone else putting her in such a vulnerable position. With Azula physical location means nothing.

And plus, her houndsnake continues to lounge lazily across her shoulders: he would not be so relaxed with just anyone. She’s travelled with the Freedom Fighters for months and he still growls when they draw too near.

Tetsuki turns around to face her princess, “It suits you far less,” she responds, smile immediately curling on her mouth at the sight of the Fire Nation princess in overly traditional Earth Kingdom garb.

“Yes, well, needs must.” Azula sniffs, adjusting the headdress she took from the Kiyoshi warriors, “Terribly impractical, honestly, but it’s not as if I expected any better.”

“It seems effective enough,” Tetsuki nods, gesturing at their surroundings. If she had to be honest, she’d admit that she much preferred the throne room in Ba Sing Se than the Fire Lord’s–though she had only been there once. Something about the solidity of the stone, as if this palace were as old as the mountains itself.

Too bad the same could not be said of its monarchy.

“Was your ticket to entry as impractical as mine?” Azula asks, though surely she must already know.

“I wouldn’t say impractical so much as annoying.” Jet–and the Freedom Fighters through him–have been useful in many ways, especially in capturing Zuko without expending too much effort on her part, but managing his ego to guide him has been tedious.

She’ll be glad to be rid of the both of them.

“You’ve done adequately with the resources available,” Azula says and Tetsuki blinks at her, surprised. That… was a compliment, perhaps?

“You seems to be in a good mood,” she remarks, hesitantly, not wanting to spoil it but unable to ignore it. Tetsuki always wants Azula to be happy.

Fortunately, Azula’s satisfaction is not so easily soured, “Why wouldn’t I be? My idiot brother has been handled, the Dai Li is mine, this city is mine, and soon enough the Avatar will fall. Our victory is assured.”

“Our victory?” Tetsuki reflexively repeats, internally scolding herself. Azula is always careful with word choice, to question her is to doubt her.

Instead of answering her, Azula meets her eyes and reaches a hand out. Tetsuki can feel a twitch run down her arm, an attempt to reach back swiftly aborted. Tetsuki’s houndsnake sniffs at Azula’s hand, tongue flicking against her fingers in greeting. Those fingers can wield lightning, can form flames so hot they run blue; it seems neither Tetsuki nor her houndsnake are afraid.

Finally, Azula says, “I knew it would be a good match.”

A/N: Not quite on top of the world, but definitely “before things started going to shit”–for Azula, that is. Mostly, though, I’m not sure how much impact Tetsuki would have in the world. Like… maybe Ozai still loses, but surely Tetsuki wouldn’t let Azula fail as in canon?

TCR AU #4: D’n’D AU (2)

Welcome to part 2 guys, gals, and non-binary pals!

Let’s get this show on the road! Today we’re talking characters!!

Sidenote: So, 90% of my experience is with Pathfinder, so that’s what I’m using in regards to race and class and suchforth. D’n’D and Pathfinder are two separate things, but I felt D’n’D was a better name for the AU.

Name: Louisa Player: Louise (DM) Race: Catfolk Class: Vigilante Backstory: Louise is the (older) twin sister to Duke. They grew up in a primarily Catfolk village by loving parents. When they were young children, their parents were viciously murdered. Duke took the time to mourn, while Louisa viciously clung to the idea of vengeance. The twins separated due to conflicting wants and desires- Duke settled down as a sort of “sword for hire”, deadset on helping and defending those who couldn’t do it themselves, while Louisa searched tirelessly for their parents’ killer. Years later, she finally has a lead and asks Duke for help, just this once. Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Name: Duke Player: Baron/Humbert Race: Catfolk Class: Paladin Backstory: Duke was happy to live his life, working for little pay to help those in need. He couldn’t protect his family, so he’d protect as many people as he could. But when his sister Louisa finally came back into his life after nearly 10 years, he couldn’t deny her ask for help (or the gold she provided when he originally said no). With the help of his employees/friends, they’ll travel across the world to finally find peace. Alignment: Lawful Good

Name: Moon Player: Muta Race: Half-Orc Class: Bloodrager Backstory: Moon doesn’t have much of a story to tell. He keeps it close to his chest except after a few gallons of ale. He was raised in a human family, educated beyond measure. Then his Orc family took him away and all he knew was violence and bloodshed. He was caught between two worlds for a long time until he settled on being a mercenary for hire. It wasn’t until Duke came along that he knew he wanted to do something more. Something better. With a healthy dose of brains and a great disregard for rules, Moon is willing to do anything to help a client. (Side Note: Has a weakness for little kids) Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Name: Aubert Player: Toto Race: *Tengu Class: Rogue Backstory: Aubert came from a distant Tengu village, hidden in the mountains. He talks little of it though, only sharing bits and pieces of the life he lived there with the friends he surrounds himself with. All is known is he left, and he committed theft after theft in order to survive and get where he is. Now, he uses his talents to help Duke and Moon, to pay for the meals when Duke refuses payment. Now with Louisa in the picture, he’s seeing different sides to his oldest friend, and wonders what this adventure will do to everyone. Alignment: True Neutral

Name: Hero Player: Hiromi Race: Human Class: Ranger Backstory: Hero stumbled across the group during their journey to cross the sea and just... Never left? With nothing better to do, and instantly bonding with Yuki, Hero decided she would be just that- A hero. Alignment: Neutral Good

Name: Kore, Pirate Queen of the 8 Seas Player: Persephone Race: Merfolk Class: Swashbuckler + Witch Backstory: Merfolk are xenophobic and harsh people. With amazing musical ability and a dangerous beauty, they lure many a sailor and innocent victim to the cracks of their islands and devour the bodies as they fall to the sea. Kore was born the most beautiful of them all, but with a compassionate heart and no singing voice. She was forcibly chased from her home, her family, her life, and sought out a new way of life. That’s how she met Captain Killigan. The two women were inseparable, and Killigan helped Kore find her calling- benevolent pirating. Killigan died, and Kore conquered the seas in her name. Now alone, and hiding her heritage with an innate magic, she sails for hire and battles other pirates competing for her crown. She was supposed to be the Ironwilled Queen. Until a certain Catfolk came onto her ship. Alignment: Chaotic

Name: Yuki Player: Haru Race: **Skinwalker (Elf) Class: Druid Backstory: “H-Hello? Is this the Cat Bureau?” Yuki was just looking for help. Little did she know she’d get dragged into the advenure of a lifetime, with romance, bloodshed, intrigue, and deeply personal problems. Indebted to Duke and Louisa, Yuki travels with them to help the siblings find their parents murderer and seek vengeance. But is that what the pair really need? Working constantly as a voice of reason and constant motivation, Yuki hides a dangerous secret from her friends. Maybe one day, she can tell them about the animal skin she wears. And warn them to let sleeping dogs lie. Alignment: Good Neutral

*Tengu= Bird people **Skinwalker= Shapeshifters (Haru looks like an Elf rather than a human)

Having Lived and Loved: The Playlist (Part 2)

Here is Part 2 to my HLAL Playlist description series! The purpose of this post is to put all the important songs in one place, as well as add descriptions for where they fit in, and my reasoning as such. I’ll put it all under a Read More of course.

Again, this is Part 2 since I can only share five videos per post, so expect more to come, and know you’re entering in media-res if you haven’t read the first post! I will also mention, there will be more songs in the playlist than there are directly mentioned in this series of posts. That is because the playlist will include all songs related to the chapters’ titles, not just the ones that have significance character/story-line wise. Links to all parts and the full playlist are at the bottom of the post!

Onwards!

“Oh man, Dylawa, Rush again?” Yes, my friend, Rush again. Specifically, “The Anarchist”. We have a very different mood to set here from our last Rush selection, though! Take a look at these lyric excerpts and, based on the chapter it’s from (yes, the chapter is titled “The Anarchist”), see if you can guess who this is for:

A voice so silent for so long For all those years I had to get along, they told me I was wrong I never wanted to belong - I was so strong

In all your science of the mind, seeking blind through flesh and bone Find the blood inside this stone What I know, I've never shown, what I feel, I've always known I plan my vengeance on my own - and I was always alone

The lenses inside of me that paint the world black The pools of poison, the scarlet mist, that spill over into rage The things I've always been denied An early promise that somehow died A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage

Have an idea yet? We’ve moved on from focusing on Comet and All Might here: This is about Ironwill.

I purposefully wrote Ironwill to be a reflection of Comet-- or, at least, my rendition of Comet. Remember, Comet is meant to be a character you can project onto and change and warp to your heart’s content! The main reason I write her with specific details about her past is because, well, it’d be difficult to write a compelling protagonist without some baggage and the like. Feel free to discard anything in your own Comet interpretations, or add your own details! Anyways, that point aside, as I was saying, Ironwill is meant to be a reflection of Comet; both had distance or abusive parents, and both were told their powers were not suited for the dreams they had. Both lived isolated childhoods due to their oppression and personal beliefs differing from those around them, and both ultimately decided to go against everything they were told to the best of their ability anyways. However, their more personal choices on that last bit of similarity lead them down ultimately different paths.

Ironwill justified his actions by saying they were for the betterment of mankind; he wanted to save people, but believed the only way to do as such was to do exactly as he was told as a child; to fit everyone into neat, safe little qualifying boxes that, should anyone attempt to step out of, would face dire consequences. It’s for their own good, after all! What’s a little government tyranny if it means saving your life?

I understand the title of this piece means the very opposite of what Ironwill is striving for, but his actions certainly go against the government in many ways. Think of it as temporary anarchy to bring about a new rule.

Wow, that was a lot! Moving on to the next song: “Prime Mover” by... Rush. I know, I’m sorry, this is the last Rush song for now, and we won’t spend as long on it!

Basic elemental instinct to survive Stirs the higher passions Thrill to be alive Alternating currents in a tidewater surge Rational resistance to an unwise urge Anything can happen...

So this is it. The evil is defeated, the hero returns to the familiar, but they have been forever changed by the hardships they have endured, and the treasure they have gained along their journey. Comet has started on a path of finding herself, thanks to the help of All Might, alongside coming to her own difficult conclusions about herself. At this point, she’s riding high on the wings of victory, but not every bird can fly forever. For now, though, she’s found her strength, and the world is at her fingertips. Further growth will come later; after all, such an ordeal is never linear. It comes and goes in waves, and for now, Comet has won the right to be proud of herself, and have high hopes for the future. Not to mention, with All Might as her newfound friend...

Anything can happen...

... And while that concludes “if i could be half of what you think of me,” we’ve still got “wondering when i’m coming back” to cover! Let’s get started on diving into that right now, because why not?

I love “In Love With A Ghost”! Great music! Wish they would actually make some!

Ahem, sorry, salty moment there. This song is called “i know it’s not easy but you’re not alone anymore.”

This skips pretty far into the WWICB storyline, as this is the title for the sixth chapter, where Comet and All Might enjoy the Tanabata festival after a not-so-pleasant run-in with Endeavor. At this point, it has become apparent that something is still wrong with Comet’s power; while she has the aid of her eye drops, her power continues to diminish dramatically. I didn’t make this as clear in the story as I wanted to, but the reason for this is her emotions-- anyone who isn’t at their mental best would suffer in performing their duties in, well, any aspect of life. So, essentially, she pulls an Elsa and decides to conceal, don’t feel. That will end well!

But, I digress. What I like about the selection of this song for this chapter is, it’s not really clear who this is meant to be directed at. Is this Comet thinking about Yagi, or vice-versa? It also doesn’t help that, ahem, feelings are beginning to become apparent for both parties (well, apparent to the reader, at least; Comet is clueless!)

Ah, man... To The Moon. Brilliant game. Old, a little outdated, not the best representation of Autism, but still brilliant, and is a huge inspiration for how I try to write as a whole, both in direct dialogue, and in emotion. If any of you have played this game and read the Having Lived and Loved series, now that I’ve pointed it out, I hope you can see some connection!

Anyways, Kan R. Gao is the creator of the game and its soundtrack, and this piece, “Once Upon A Memory,” doesn’t quite fit the overall theme of Chapter 12 of WWICB. However, a moment alone between our two darling heroes is deserving of a track that feels intimate and close, even if the upbeat nature isn’t quite the same as the circumstances our heroes currently find themselves in. Plus, the characters in To The Moon are stargazing when this piece plays, and at this point of time, so are All Might and Comet. So there’s... some connection, I suppose?

That being said, the songs don’t always necessarily fit the chapters they’re assigned to. Sometimes, just the name itself is fitting enough and gets a spot that way, but that being said, most songs at least fit the aesthetic of the All Might/Comet relationship. This one is no different, even if not placed in the most opportune spot.

I really want to go into “The Body Electric” as my next song, but that is, unfortunately, another Rush song, and I promised you guys no more Rush! So I’ll just abbreviate really quickly before moving on to the next piece; it’s 45T3R01D’s song. It will be present in the playlist, of course! So with that, we’ll end this post on...

youtube

“You Can Be A Hero,” from the My Hero Academia Soundtrack.

“Now, wait a minute: This is the title of the last chapter, and you only covered three songs from WWICB, and Comet already knows she can be a hero! What gives?!”

There is a really easy answer to that: The other songs aren’t super worth going into detail for (but feel free to ask about any other titles you may be curious about!), and more importantly, this is the song I had in mind for when All Might and Comet share their first kiss.

That little pause at the 1:30 mark is absolutely the perfect moment for a breath, and for All Might to sweep in for that kiss I spent a week writing and perfecting.

For a second, his hands dance in the air, before one settles on your lower back, while the other brushes your hair back from your forehead. The touch is… different, from everything you’ve shared before.

It’s intimate.

You open your mouth to speak, to comment, to question. But all you have time to do is take a breath.

For Yagi makes it impossible to breathe, when his lips connect with yours.

It’s quick, but it’s not a crash. It’s eager, but not desperate. It’s not gentle, but it’s not bruising either. Whatever you can think of to describe it, it isn’t quite that; no matter what, it remains something in between, something indescribable, something… something that must be for you.

... Yeah, I made myself breathless a couple times writing that part.

So, for this song, it’s not so much about the title and the song’s meaning, and more about the feeling it evokes. Once again, Comet has overcome overwhelming odds to emerge the victor, only this time, the tables on the surprise kiss trope are turned! At least, I think it is: usually I see girls initiating the surprise kisses in most forms of media. I like to think this is a welcome breath of fresh air in that regard!

Well, that’s five videos again! Next post, we’ll be going over individual character songs!
