Aizawa x child reader (age range preferably 4 through 8) who’s scared of the dark please

I hope you don’t mind that I kinda turned this into a slightly Present Mic x child reader x Aizawa

Aizawa x Child reader

Similar to Eri, the reader is a child that has a powerful quirk and was a victim of villains. The villains that were keeping the reader were using them as a healing tool and held them for 3 years

The reader’s quirk allows them to utilize and manipulate light energy. Their quirk works by absorbing light particles and turning them into energy that they can store up or use immediately. They can bend light and reflect/refract it, they can condense and harden the particles to create solid and non solid illusions, generate force fields, create lasers as well as use the energy to heal.

Their quirk can activate with even the smallest amount of light. The reader is kind of like a plant in the way that they need a source of light to use their quirk so that they can harness the energy or else they won’t have any energy to use

Knowing that the reader’s quirk was really strong, the villains kept the reader locked up inside a dark room where it was pitch black. The only time there was ever any light allowed near them was when one of the villains was hurt and needed to be healed. The villains would go into the room and light a small candle so the reader would have just enough energy to be able to heal them but be unable to store up any to use against them

Eventually there was a raid on the villain’s base where Present Mic was one of the heroes on the mission. He was the one to discover the reader and save them. After police looked into the child’s family they found that the reader’s parents were criminals who sold the reader to make money of their quirk.

Since saving the reader, Mic would visit them since he was the only person the child would allow near them. Mic and the reader quickly grew attached to each other, so Mic decided to adopt the reader.

Hizashi was told by the reader’s therapist that the reader was terrified of the dark so much, that even being in a room with the lights off and the window open allowing light in would trigger them. The reader was so terrified of the darkness that they would panic if there was a dark corner in a room where they couldn’t see what was there.

Hizashi’s solution was to buy all kinds of night lights, string lights, LEDs, light projectors,etc. he even bought glow in the dark paint and stars. There wasn’t a single place in his house that was dark. The corners and other places where shadows would be like under furniture were lit by LEDs

Whenever Hizashi was stuck at work when it was late, he would have either Midnight or Aizawa babysit the reader. The reader was originally scared of Aizawa at first, but after he bought them glow in the dark cat pajamas (which horrified Hizashi at how tacky they were but you loved them so he said nothing) they loved him and started calling him Uncle ‘Zawa

One day there was a fight between heroes and an EMP villain who was using quirk enhancing drugs near Mic’s house. The Villain’s quirk basically made any electrical device in their nearby vicinity obsolete. All electrical devices in the area were affected.

Knowing that he would be staying late at his Radio station and that he wouldn’t be home until late night or early morning, Hizashi called Aizawa and told him the situation begging for him to stay with the reader since the power wouldn’t be restored until early morning. Understanding the situation, Aizawa agreed and made sure to bring a few things like a portable DVD player and some candles

Once Aizawa got to Mic’s house that evening, he dismissed the babysitter/nanny and told the reader that they were going to build a giant blanket fort in the living room and pretend to go camping. The reader was excited and wanted to surprise Mic so they quickly began gather all the blankets and pillows, bringing them to Aizawa as he put the fort together.

After that he gathered all the non electronic light sources and when the sun set, he turned them all on, lighting all the candles

That night Aizawa and the reader spent their time watching movies, reading glow in the dark books, and listening to Aizawa tell stories of Mic being an idiot in highschool.

When the reader was tired, Aizawa got out his sleeping bag and let the reader snuggle up to him as he held them. Whenever the reader was scared, Aizawa would hold them and quietly shush them, rubbing their back and kissing their cheeks telling them that he would keep them safe

That night Aizawa and reader slept together in his sleeping bag inside their fort. When Hizashi got home he found them snuggled up together and took as many pictures on his phone as possible

Hope you enjoyed this. Sorry if it’s a little short.

It's so important to try out those random appliances that appear in low cost stores. Like yeah probably 90% of the time you just wasted €3 on something that barely can get the job done but over time you gain this ability to distinguish which items actually will function well at low cost and which ones are actually too good to be true. And like the wildest thing is that there's no sense to any of it. Rechargeable "camping" fan with (optional) LED lights that claims it last for up to 6 hours and costs €7? Can actually run continuously for 8 hours and works amazing. Projector that is supposed to turn the ceiling into a map of the stars? Piece of shit junk it's a spotlight with a blue filter and random pieces taken out, it doesn't even look like stars. A small portable laminator to laminate papers wherever you go? Works amazing, lamination sheets aren't even that expensive, it made me go a little lamination crazy for like a year and now there is a preserved marijuana plant leaf that I pressed and laminated hanging in a coffee shop (that's kinda but not really the equivalent of a weed dispensary to you Americans). Anyway all I'm saying is if you know of a store near you that sells random appliances that have a randomly rotating stock of items that have no brand and are sold at prices that seem just as randomized as the items themselves. It's imperative you buy that €4 portable laminator or the €7 laser pointer that probably has never been safety tested once and can blind a person from a kilometer away. The very best of these items shall stay with you for life and the ones that were kinda cool but you got bored of go into the "future small gifts for coworkers or friends I'm not super close with" box

Across the Spider-Verse was great. I don't think I have seen a more visually stunning movie. Every frame of this movie was a work of art.

It was even more beautiful than the first movie.

I will try to gather my thoughts in a future post. But I just wanted to say I made it through the movie and didn't have to get up to pee. I am a little tired from sitting up that long, but it wasn't nearly as hard as grocery shopping, so I think the energy hangover won't be too bad.

I might even start going to movies a little more often. I dunno. Though I need to make sure I see it in the Dolby or IMAX theaters. The speakers in their off-to-the-side dinky theater were not great. I can't believe my little home theater sounds better than a proper cinema. Weak bass and the timbre of the speakers did not suit voices very well.

The projection was also kind of meh. I have yet to see a proper laser projector, but after watching the first Spider-Verse movie this morning on my high nit HDR screen and then seeing the dull image at the theater, I understood why a lot of people are preferring to stay home.

I think it is time movie theaters moved away from projection.

They are considering doing micro LED theater screens in the future. And when I saw that announced a lot of people in the comments thought it was a terrible idea. But they didn't understand the technology involved. Micro LED is the endgame display technology. It's both brighter and darker with more detail and more colors and it would blow away the quality of any projector in existence. And because the panels are modular, they can make the screens any size. My only worry is the cost of building a screen that large. They'd probably have to make the screen smaller than your average cinema screen. I don't know.

It would be really cool though.

In any case, I loved the movie, but would have preferred seeing it in a higher quality theater. They had two fancy rooms, but they were showing The Flash.

A few minutes pass in silence. And then Jackie inhales sharply. "They're coming!" He flings the curtains open so everyone can see. 

There are five of the SAMs flying down the street towards them. Three are the black models they'd seen before, one is the same size but red instead, and one is green and softball-sized. 

Soren nods. "I'll go on up, then. Chase?" 

"Yeah, I'll come with," Chase says, grabbing Frosty's lead and following him up the stairs. 

I won't be much use against Machines so I'll hang back, JJ says. He reaches into a lamp in the living room, pulling out a metal pipe for defense, and then backs up. 

"Everyone else, get ready," Jackie says.

Jackie Mann hurries up the stairs and holds his knife out, watching the door. 

Alt glitches to his feet and bubbles up magic at his hands. "... Hopefully the shield holds..." He whispers anxiously. 

Bro looks nervous as he gets into a fighting stance, watching the door. 

The red SAM starts glowing. And then it flies towards the window, glowing brighter and brighter--and it lets out a blast of energy, shattering the glass and Alt's shield at once. 

"Holy shit!" Jackie shouts, using a gust of wind to deflect most of the flying glass. "Cover!" 

As the shield gets immediately cracked, Alt screams and crashes to the ground, gripping at his chest like the blast hurt him. 

Bro pales and hurries over to crouch by him, "A-Alt!" 

"H..How...?" Alt coughs, looking even more pale. "H-How did they do that??"

The small green SAM flies into the fray first, and its camera flips over to a screen, its projector sliding open too. Both the screen and the projector show a 3D animated model of a man with an LED screen for a face. "Hello world."

Both Alt and Bro look up at the man. Bro hurries to put a hand out to protect Alt. And Alt pales even more, shaking slightly. "I-It's you!" 

Jackieboy growls and bares his teeth, pointing his knife at the hologram, "The fuck do you think you are, tin man?! Too cowardly to fight us in person?!"

Anti laughs in his robotic voice. "Unfortunately fighting you in person is impossible. I am not there. But there is someone who is coming soon." The three black SAMs fly into the room. "And I'm willing to get things ready for him." 

"Fucking bitch! Just leave us alone!" Jackie yells.

One SAM has part of it slide away as a gun-like attachment pops out the top. The other two have the end of their peripherals shift into something like laser pointers. And they all fire at once, with the two laser pointers firing energy blasts at Bro and this world's Jackie while the big gun fires a heavy-looking projectile at Marvin.

Alt tries to yell out, "Chase! Watch out!" But, the energy hits Bro and he hits one of the back walls, momentarily disorienting him. 

Jackie yelps and jumps out of the way of the energy blast, but Marvin gets knocked back by some sort of canon ball, sending him sprawling across the ground. Schneep gasps, glancing back and forth between Marvin and Bro before JJ gestures for him to go help Bro. Schneep nods and rushes to his side while JJ helps Marvin up.

Alt growls and whips out a hand to try to shoot one of the SAMs with a blast of lightning.

 Two of the SAMs dodge the lightning attack but one of them is too slow and gets immediately fried, falling to the ground completely dead. "Oh?" Anti says. "So you can do THAT, can you? Fine, then." And both of the SAMs aim their weapons at Alt, firing the canon and the energy attack. Marvin sits up, clutching his stomach. He gasps as he sees the SAMs fire on Alt and throws a ball of energy in their direction. 

Marvin's attack brushes both SAMs but don't do enough damage to divert their course. 

Alt's eyes widen and he gasps and tries to get out of the way- but the energy blast hits him first before the canon hits him and sends him, skidding back. He curls up into a ball, coughing and clutching at his chest. 

"Alt!" Bro cries as Schneep helps him up. He whips on the SAMs and growls, momentarily forgetting his powers are blocked and trying to aim to punch a SAM as hard as he can.

The SAM doesn't try to dodge Bro's attack, thinking that a neutralized hero won't be able to do much. But, surprisingly, there's enough force behind Bro's punch that the SAM with the canonball attachment goes spinning into the wall. 

Marvin laughs. "Nice one!" he says, and aims a second attack at the other SAM. The beam this time shears off its peripheral. 

Bro blinks in surprise then grins, getting into another fighting stance. "I'm not completely out! Watch it, ya eyeball freaks!" 

Meanwhile, Schneep turns his attention to Alt, checking him over. 

Alt coughs more, his chest aching terribly after being hit. It's hard to think. He blinks up at Schneep with an unfocused gaze, "S-Schneep-" God- it hurts to breathe... he keeps having to drag in deep gasping breaths.

"Shh, it's okay," Schneep mutters. "That hit you in the chest, there could be damage, but you are still breathing and that is good." He reaches into his backpack and pulls out a cold pack, which he hands to Alt. "Put that where it hurts most and I can tie it into place." 

Alt nods and takes the pack, placing it over the pain. 

"You may not be out yet, but you haven't faced the worst yet," Anti says. "He's coming." Marvin eyes' widen as Anti says that. He gets ready, conjuring a protective shield around Alt and Schneep before scrambling to his feet.

Alt blinks at the shield and then shrinks in on himself as he feels a familiar presence in the air. “…fuck-“ 

Schneep looks up at the shield, feeling the heat it gives off. "Oh no."

Evil laughter echoes around them before static shimmers in front of Marvin and a clawed hand reaches out, aiming for his face. 

Marvin shouts in surprise as he dodges to the side, Mag's claws scraping along his mask but not doing any permanent damage. "Fucking shit!" he shouts. 

Magnificent growls, baring his teeth as he skids into a cat-like stance, just having missed Marvin.

JJ whips into action, throwing at string at Mag, aiming to wrap him up.

Mag sees the string coming and then slices at the air with his claws as his eyes burn with hatred. He laughs, showing his fangs. “Oh no- we’re not playing that game this time, kitten.” Mag holds out his hands and a bright spiral appears behind him, trying to draw the people around under his power. “We’re gonna play my way this time~!” 

“N-No! L-Look aw-!” Alt tries to yell, but his voice gets cut off with a strangled gasp.

The spiral is… beautiful. It’s so hard to try to look away once it captures your gaze. Magnificent’s smooth voice beckons you to listen… to obey. 

“Yes… that’s it puppets! Why don’t we make this interesting hm?” The mad magician cackles, “Kill your friends- kill any super that gets in your way.” 

Jackieboy and Bro know better, they manage to cover their eyes. 

Alt tries but- he slips and purple green magic spirals in his eyes. He staggers and tries to get up- ignoring the shield- almost trying to walk past it, despite the heat coming off it. 

Schneep is too busy looking through his backpack for bandages to pay attention to the spiral. And Marvin acts fast enough to close his eyes. But Jackie and JJ are looking at Magnificent when the spiral appears. They both slump, relaxing immediately. JJ looks over at Marvin, more strings appearing around his fingers. 

"JJ...?" Marvin says in a shaky voice. "Please don't--" 

But JJ attacks anyway, strings lashing out. 

Jackie's spiraling eyes look at Bro and Jackieboy. He lunges for the two of them, aiming to punch whoever's closest. 

"Alt!" Schneep grabs Alt and pulls him back before he can walk straight into the burning hot shield. "No! Wake up!"

Bro’s head whips up as he sees the spirals in Jackie’s eyes. “n-no- Jackie! C’mon man! Don’t listen to-!” The hero gets cut off as Jackie punches him right in the face. Bro staggers back, blinking spots out of his eyes. 

“Hey! Other me! Not cool!!” Jackie Mann shouts, sliding down the stairs parkour style - then he tries to kick Jackie in the face. 

Jackie easily dodges Jackieboy's kick, turning his attention to him instead, lunging at him for another attack. 

Jackieboy skids as he misses and has a second of losing his balance before he gets punched by Jackie. He holds his cheek and staggers back. Bro sees this and yells, trying to grab Jackie’s arms from behind to stop him. 

Jackie is in the middle of swinging back another punch when Bro grabs him. He struggles against him, trying to pull free. 

Alt looks back at Schneep and his expression darkens. He quickly glitches to face him and then tries to tackle him to the ground by his neck, his pocket knife suddenly in his hand.

Schneep yelps as Alt grabs him and quickly goes intangible before Alt can pin him down. 

Alt blinks at the empty space below him, blinking slowly. 

Schneep backs up, disappearing through the wall to their backs and circling around to the other side of Marvin's shield. He pulls a pocket knife of his own out and goes for Mag--but is intercepted when the red SAM from earlier rushes at him, emitting some sort of energy pulse. Schneep yelps and falls as the SAM runs into him--not being hit by the machine itself, but by the energy it's emitting. He clutches his head--why is it aching all of a sudden?

Mag looks amused as the SAM attacks for him, grinning and waving at Schneep from behind it. 

Marvin gasps and slices through JJ's strings before they get close. He's suddenly breathing heavily, eyes darting back and forth. "J-Jameson, please don't do this again! Y-you don't want to be like this anymore!" 

Alt hears Marvin’s shouting and bares his teeth- finally glitching out of the shield and then trying to lash out to attack Marvin from behind with his knife. 

Marvin spins around, sees Alt, and quickly ducks. 

JJ, still hypnotized, lunges for Marvin as he drops to the ground, and Marvin immediately freezes up when JJ grabs his wrists. "No!" he screams, panicking, struggling. "JJ! No! Don't do this! Please! What about your friends?! What about your family?! What about Dahlia?!" 

Something in JJ's eyes flickers at that. Dahlia? Dahlia. Dahlia... And suddenly he gasps, spirals disappearing. And he jerks backwards, looking down at his hands in horror. 

Alt’s eyes flicker at the scene of Marvin freaking out- some part of him sympathizing. 

But, Mag shouts angrily as his hold on JJ breaks and this snaps Alt back to attention, magic flaring brighter in his eyes. He yells too and sends out a sound wave to try to hit Marvin and JJ.

Bro seems to have forgotten he’s powerless right now- Jackie easily fights his way out. Bro staggers then shouts at Jackie. “C’mon Jackie! Windstorm would never work for a bad guy, right?! Fight this!” 

Jackie's eyes flicker. "Wind... storm...?" he repeats. He shakes his head, backing away and pressing his hands over his eyes. Then his head snaps up. "H-holy shit!" 

Bro deflates with a relived smile, “H-Hey hey it’s okay! You’re-“ The sound wave goes off and startles Bro and Jackie, who whip around to look. 

This moment comes at the same time Alt's sound wave fires off, sending both Marvin and JJ sprawling across the floor. JJ reacts worse than Marvin does, clutching his ears and writhing. Marvin gasps and scrambles over to JJ, covering him protectively. His eyes snap to Magnificent and he aims a beam of energy at him--and that red SAM swoops to intercept it. The beam slams into it, burrowing a hole in its side--and yet it stays flying. 

Magnificent yells as his control gets broken again. “Insolent pests!” He cringes as Marvin’s blast comes towards him but- the SAM intercepts. Mag grins, laughing. ��Ha! These things are handy!” 

Alt glitches in front of Marvin and JJ, towering over them with bright spiraling eyes. He opens up his hand in front of Marvin’s face, magic bubbling up hot and dangerous as he aims like he might try to shoot Marvin through the skull. “No!! Alt stop!!” Bro tries to yell.

Marvin's eyes widen--and he kicks Alt in the knees, knocking him to the ground.

Alt hits the ground like ton of bricks, jostling his injured chest and making him let out a strangled gasp. His eyes flicker wildly. 

Bro looks at Windstorm with wide eyes and then his eyes flicker to Mag. His expression darkens. “We need to take out Mag. But the eyes are getting in the way!” 

Magnificent yells in anger, then slams a hand against the wall. Green flames burst out and then crackle around the room-cutting off their exits. “None of you fucking heroes are winning today!” He snarls dangerously. “None of you will leave this place alive!”

The whole group tenses as the fire appears--but Schneep gasps. He points towards the hallway leading out of the room, now blocked off by flames. It's--someone-- 

A blur rushes across the room towards Mag, crossing the length in less than a second, and Mag suddenly feels something hit him very hard against the back of the head. 

Now it’s Magnificent’s turn to hit the ground like a ton of bricks. He wasn’t expecting this at all. He’s out- and the fire flickers out around them as Mag slips into unconsciousness. 

Standing behind him is one Dahlia Jackson, holding the metal bat Soren had earlier. 

Bro and Jackieboy stare dumbfounded at the now downed Mag and triumphant Dahlia. 

The magic in Alt’s eyes breaks when Mag falls and he rolls onto his stomach, coughing and gasping. He starts to shake wildly, trying to take in the scene. 

The remaining SAMs have all been knocked to the ground, though they're all quickly getting back up. 

Jackieboy cheers and jumps up, “YEAHHH DAHLIA!! That was bad fucking ass!” 

She grins at the group... and then blood begins to leak from her nose and she immediately collapses. 

Jackie gasps- JJ lets out a voiceless scream and hurries over to her. Schneep is right behind him, checking Dahlia's vitals. 

Bro rushes over and kneels down by her too, but tries to give Schneep room. “W-What just happened?! How- how did she do that…??” 

“Is she okay??” Jackieboy asks worriedly, hovering behind them. 

The guys don't say anything for a while, Jackie and Marvin hurrying closer while Schneep works. Then, Schneep sighs. "She overexerted herself," he mutters. "The nosebleed is a side effect of using her powers too much, yes?" 

JJ nods. It starts coming from her ears too if she goes too hard. 

"Yes. And because she is still so weak, even a short use of the powers was too much. She needs rest." 

Jackie lets out a breath of relief. 

Marvin is also visibly reassured. "Thank goodness," he mutters. And Jackie looks at Bro. "'How did she do that'...? Heh, y-yeah, I guess we never explained her powers, huh? Dahlia is--was, maybe, I dunno if she still wants to do it--a hero called Timekeeper." His eyes light up. "She can manipulate time to her will, speeding up or slowing it around her. She must have slowed time for us, which is why she looked like she moved so fast!" 

Bro’s eyes widen and then he grins, “Just like Henny! Oh my god- now they need to meet!” 

"Whoa!" Marvin suddenly shoots a blast at one of the SAMs, which is up again and aiming its canon attachment at Bro. It dodges, but at least Marvin succeeded in drawing attention to it. 

Bro yelps as Marvin yells and then he turns to protectively holds his arms over Dahlia. 

Alt peeks up his eyes and then growls seeing the SAM. He narrows his eyes and tries to see if he can dismantle it with his magic.

The SAM falls apart into pieces. 

Marvin blinks as he sees that happen, then laughs. "That also reminds me of someone. Maybe Alt should meet her, too. Next time you guys should come on a non-school day." 

Alt blinks at Marvin and then laughs breathlessly, pushing himself up on shaky arms. “Sounds like s-someone I’d like to meet too.” 

Then Marvin spins around and shoots another beam at the red SAM, finishing off the job he started. It falls to the ground with a hole right through it. "Think you can do that with the last one?" 

The last black SAM has its peripheral burned off earlier, but it's preparing to fire something else--looks like more neutrinalin darts.

Alt looks at the last SAM and nods, jerking his head to the side as his eyes flash green, trying to take this one apart as well.

The SAM's lens pops out, followed shortly by all its panels falling open and then its hovering mechanism failing as it crashes again. 

Jackie applauds. "That's so cool!" Then he looks at Alt and his smile fades. "Are you okay?" 

Alt’s eyes quickly dim back down and then he sighs and grips at his chest. He smiles tightly at Jackie. “M-Magic exhaustion and ngh- getting hit in the chest by whatever those things fired… I… I’ll be fine…” 

"Alright... if you're sure," Jackie says. 

"We have medical supplies, if you have time to get patched up," Schneep offers. 

Jackieboy hurries over to Alt’s side and helps him sit up properly, the smaller boy resting his head on Jackieboy’s shoulder. Alt smiles gratefully. “thanks…” 

Footsteps. Soren comes running into the room, aiming a--that's a crossbow. Why and how does he have a crossbow? Everyone in the room shivers for a moment as the sight of him rushing in and aiming it, eyes flashing menacingly, is pretty intimidating. But as he lowers it, the feeling abruptly disappears. 

Bro stiffens as Soren comes in and then relaxes only slightly- “…why the fuck do you have a crossbow??”

Soren examines the crossbow in his hands. "Because I couldn't find a trustworthy firearms dealer in the city. Underworld's really gone to shit in the past year." 

"Also, What the fuck happened?! Dahlia disappeared--Dahlia?!" 

She'll be okay, Soren, JJ says. She took out Magnificent and Alt took apart the Machines, like how G-computer does.

He looks at JJ, raising an eyebrow. "Really? A man of many talents." He gives Alt a grin. "Nice job."

Alt flushes a bit then smiles at Soren’s compliment. “T-Thanks.” 

"You know this isn't over, yes?" The green SAM is still intact. 

Alt stiffens as he hears Anti’s voice. 

"Shut the fuck up you--you hellspawn!" Marvin snaps. 

"I didn't spawn from hell. I spawned from man like the rest of you." 

“Yeah? Well why don’t you fuck off before we spawn you outta existence, freak!” Jackieboy shouts. 

"Get out of here!" Jackie shouts. "How dare you use that SAM?!" 

Anti laughs.

Alt’s eyes burn with magic as he glares at the last SAM, looking ready to take it apart too. 

"Fine," Anti says, noticing Alt's look and none too eager to lose this more specialized SAM. "But I will see you again. And next time, you won't be ready." And the SAM flies back out through the broken window. 

Alt glares after the SAM as Jackie Mann shouts after it, “Yeah! Run with that tail between your legs, bitch!” 

Jackie grumbles wordlessly, folding his arms. 

"The fucking window is broken?" Soren notices. "Dannazione, come osi..." He shakes his head. 

Schneep gently lifts Dahlia up. She's awake, but looking really out of it. "Come on, Dahllie, let's get you some rest," he says quietly. "You all can come upstairs too, I am sure Chase is worried about all of us."

Bro gets to his feet, still feeling kinda weird without his powers. He almost offers to take Dahlia from Schneep but thinks better of it. 

Alt starts to push himself up and Jackieboy helps him. Alt narrows his eyes at Mag and then mumbles some spell words- ropes of magic coming to wrap up his arms and legs and a magic gag over his mouth. He sags a bit against Jackieboy who keeps him upright as his eyelids flutter. “Okay bud- no more magic for a bit…” Jackieboy gently scolds him, putting on his dad voice. 

“D…didn’t… want him… causing trouble…” Alt mumbles sleepily. 

“That really helps, Alt, thanks,” Jackie says, grabbing Mag. “We’ll keep an eye on him. But you should rest up, okay?” 

The group heads upstairs again. Bro helps Jackieboy take Alt up. Chase is waiting in the bedroom, standing up and looking nervous. He jumps when the door opens, grabbing a knife Soren lent him, then relaxing as everyone comes in, all looking relatively unharmed. “E-everyone good?” He asks. “We h-heard a bunch of shouting downstairs a-and then all of a sudden Dahlia was gone—” 

“She helped,” Schneep says, putting Dahlia down on the bed. She rolls over, closing her eyes. “But she completely wiped herself out.” 

JJ gets to his knees next to the bed so he’s level with Dahlia’s face. When she opens her eyes he signs, Thank you, but be careful, Dahlia, okay? 

“Yeah…” Dahlia mumbles, closing her eyes again. 

“Oh, Alt, wanna sit down?” Marvin asks. “You uh… you’re tired. Do you need anything?”

Alt tiredly smiles and nods. Bro is quick to help Alt sit down and worriedly checks him over. He’s a bit warm but- not worryingly so. Alt blinks and starts to shake his head but then pauses, “…maybe some water? S-something to eat… it’ll be a second until I’m back up completely though. Food doesn’t fix everything…” 

“Oh oh alt! Cant you like- drain electricity from stuff for power? I swear you’ve done that once-“ Jackieboy says, leaning on the back of the chair. 

Alt shivers slightly, “…I could but… I don’t want to b-break anything… I-it’ll be okay… I’ll be okay.” 

Bro frowns in worry, looking between Dahlia and Alt.

“I’ll go get you some water, then,” Soren says. “And snacks. Do you think you guys will stick around for dinner, or do you have to deal with him quickly?” He points at Mag, who Jackie just kinda dropped in the corner farthest from the door. 

“Man! I’d love to stay for dinner… but this fucker will probably wake up.” Jackieboy gestures to Mag, “Jays always says people don’t stay knocked out that long.” 

“Yeah… we should probably take him home… once Alt has enough energy to power the TRVLR that is… maybe we can take a break…” Bro mumbles, not looking happy. 

JJ looks over at Soren. Before you go, can you— and he makes some signs that don’t really make sense. It translates directly to relax me but it must mean something else in this context. 

Soren bites his lip. “You know it’ll fade as soon as I leave the room. If you’re still worried when I get back, though, sure.” 

JJ nods. That’s fine.

Bro does blink at the sign language and looks between Soren and JJ, “…’relax me’? What does that mean?”

JJ blinks. He gestures at Soren to explain. “I can affect people’s emotions,” Soren says. “Make them feel happy, sad, angry, afraid—it sounds worse than it is, really, cause I have to see you to do it. Jem worries a lot, so I try to help out.” He glances at JJ. “But I can’t do it all the time.” 

I know, JJ says. I’m figuring stuff out. 

“You need a therapist,” Schneep says bluntly. 

I know! That’s kind of difficult to find when we’re in hiding. JJ sighs. He glances at the rest of the room. I’m not going to air all my personal feelings, but I DO know how to deal with problems in ways that don’t involve direct emotional change. It just helps sometimes for short periods of time. 

“Wouldn’t agree if I didn’t know that,” Soren mutters. “Alright, I’ll be right back.” And he quickly leaves. 

“…you do need therapy,” Marvin says. 

Well so do you, JJ responds. 

“Touché.”

“Ooooh- okay,” Bro says, nodding. “That makes sense- hell we all have a therapist but if I had an easy access to something to relax me right away I’d take it.” 

“Damn seems like we need to bring Dr. J here too!” Jackieboy grins. 

Bro bops him on the head, “We’re not bringing Dr. J to another dimension for him to just do his normal job for our doppelgängers! Really Jackie??” 

“It was a joke!!” Jackieboy says defensively, then pauses. “…kinda. Jay wouldn’t judge- …but maybe it’d be weird to… therapy an alternate version of yourself.” 

“It’d be super fucking weird!!” 

Alt looks at Jj tiredly but mumbles out quietly. “…I get it… getting controlled by Mag really messed with you, huh?” He grips at his wrist, massaging his purple markings.”…I know the feeling.”

JJ looks at Alt thoughtfully. He nods. I almost did something I promised myself I would never do again… he signs slowly. 

“H-hey.” Marvin clears his throat. “It wasn’t your fault. You know what mind control is like. It wasn’t really you. And i-if you’re worried about me… it’s fine. I forgive you.” 

…Thank you, Marvin, JJ says. He shakes his head. Anyway, Soren is really smart about people’s emotions, and it’s not just because of his powers. 

“Could’ve been a therapist if he wasn’t a fucking crime lord,” Jackie mutters. 

“I don’t think he is still like that,” Schneep says slowly. “Everything has sort of disbanded.” 

“Because you put him in jail,” Chase adds, looking at Jackie. “So you should really know.” 

“Well yeah but—but that’s not the point. I’m saying that he would’ve been a great therapist in another world where he wasn’t a villain in the first place. He could still be one now, but I don’t know many people who’d be eager to have Pathos as their therapist.”

Alt looks at JJ sympathetically and then finds himself giggling quietly as he mutters. “Heh… Pathos means feelings… that’s funny- good name-“ 

“Oh god he’s getting loopy,” Jackie mutters. 

“‘M not loopy… yer loopy…” Alt grumbles. 

Bro blinks and looks between everyone, “…I feel like I’m missing vital info here- Soren was a villain???” He throws his arms up into the air and then gestures at Schneep and Marvin, “How many of you were villains before that I had no idea about?!? …I mean- it doesn’t change anything! But I still feel like this should have gotten brought up!!”

"Uhhhh... everyone but me, Chase, and Time--Dahlia," Jackie says. "Which like--Bro. I get it. Do you know how much it rocked my shit to hear that Chase's doctor had been moonlighting as a master thief for years?" 

"Master thief?" Schneep repeats, clearly flattered. 

Jackie makes a face at him. "Not to mention the whole thing with JJ as the Puppeteer. My whole world just flipped upside down then. I mean, sure, turns out JJ was blackmailed to do it, but at the time... my, like, brain fucking broke." 

"At least you're now much more open?" Chase says. 

"I... yeah, I guess. I used to have a very, uh, black and white type of view on heroes and villains. But having it turn out that some of my friends are them, and then Marvin and Soren turned out to be, you know, people beyond their crimes, it... yeah." Jackie falls into a contemplative silence. 

Bro looks at Jackie and nods, holding his arms. “…I’m trying to be… better about that too. The black and white thinking… I.. I really hurt people… thinking like that.” 

“…cuz I was a villain too.” Alt speaks up, “…only for a couple months… and I was hella influenced by Mag when doing it but…” He closes his eyes and takes a steady breath, “…we’re all so much more than the bad things we do… especially when we try to be better.” 

Bro blinks then smiles softly and hugs Alt to his side.

 Meanwhile, JJ gives Alt a small smile. 

Alt looks up at JJ and then smiles too.

Soren soon returns. "Alright, here." He hands Alt a water bottle and a plate with a peaunut butter sandwich, a banana, and a wrapped chocolate bar. "Not my best work, but if you guys have to leave soon I figured faster was better. And I also grabbed my old phone. It's charged but there's no SD card on it, so don't worry about breaking it if you need an electric boost."

Alt blinks open his eyes and they light up with delight. “Oh my god- this is more than enough, thank you!” He hungrily starts to dig in. 

"Hey Jem, are you okay now?" Soren asks gently. 

JJ nods. A little bit. I can handle it now. 

"Okay, let me know."

Jackieboy laughs, sitting down on the floor. “Man- I wonder if like- being hungry after using magic or powers is like- worst then being regular starving… I wouldn’t know. But like- I forget to eat cuz of my ADHD and that sucks!” 

"Oh, I know, it's the worst, isn't it?" Jackie agrees, jumping in with his other self. "Especially since like--okay I don't get hungry directly from using my powers but I do have to concentrate and if I'm concentrating on flying I'm not thinking about how hungry I am so I don't eat." 

"Broooo," Chase says, turning the word into a booing sound. 

"Oh don't give me that, you forget, too." 

"Frosty helps remind me, though," Chase says, patting Frosty's head. "You don't have him, you gotta do it yourself." 

“Bro tell me about it! I swear I sit down to make my kids and me lunch and then I’m like oh I should do the dishes real quick and then I’m like oh a mug! Let’s make coffee! Then I’m like oh yeah I need to make a coffee date with the mates soon- and next thing I know I’m on the couch watching videos on my phone with two sandwiches half made wondering why I feel like rubbish!” Jackieboy laughs. Then he pauses and frowns, “…my life sounds so boring compared to a superheroes though-“ 

"Bruh, tell me about it," Chase says. "Everyone in this room except for you and me has powers." 

"Hey, don't sell yourself short, Chase," Jackie says. "Just because you guys don't have powers doesn't mean you're not needed. Or wanted. You're like, my best friend." 

"...oh." Chase looks unbelievably touched by that comment. 

Bro grins and pulls Jackieboy into a hug with his arm around his neck. “Yeah! You’re my best friend too ya dummy! I don’t know where I’d be without you and your stern dad voice!” 

“I don’t have a stern dad voice!” 

“Oh you so do-“ Alt laughs. 

Bro nudges his Jackie. “So, Don’t sell yourself short, Jackaboy- dealing with kids is hard work!”

Schneep glances at Jackieboy. "And this may sound cheesy, but I bet you are your children's hero. Good parents are something to be valued." 

Jackieboy looks touched.

Bro softens and then hugs Jackieboy tighter. “And believe me bro- Schneep’s right. your kids… they think you’re the coolest guy in existence. You’re a big hero in their eyes.” Jackieboy’s eyes get a bit misty and he quickly wipes at them with his jacket sleeve. 

“But, since you were curious! I know I feel ravenous after flying around for a bit- but only afterwards.” Bro continues. “Flying takes a lot of thinking!” 

“Really? I thought it just made you an airhead-“ Alt snickers. 

“Hey!”

Marvin snorts at Alt's comment. "Hah. Airhead." He nudges Jackie. "You." 

"Wha--excuse you?" Jackie glares at him.

Alt bursts into giggles. 

After a few more minutes Alt seems to be back in working order, finishing up the food. He grabs Soren’s old phone and grips it in his hand, draining the energy from it. His eyes glow brighter green and soon enough pixels vibrate around his shoulders and he grins, glitching back to his feet. He winces slightly as he moves his chest too much but he grins. “Fuck yeah! Oh, that was just the boost I needed!”

"Whoa!" Chase grins. "That's so cool!" 

"Whoooo." Dahlia raises a hand into the air, giving a supportive thumbs-up and announcing to everyone that she's more awake now. Schneep and JJ laugh. 

"Just in time too, I bet bitch other-me is gonna wake up at any moment now," Marvin says, glancing at Magnificent. 

"So are you guys gonna, like, drop him off and then come back, or are you gonna stay in your world for a while?" Jackie asks. "Because I'd be down for both." 

"We do not know if time between worlds is consistent," Schneep muses. "Perhaps even if they come right back, much time will have passed for us." 

Like Narnia, JJ says, spelling out the name. 

"Th' endin' ov that series sucked," Dahlia mutters.

Jackieboy laughs at this. Then, he turns to Bro. 

Bro frowns, sighing. "...I dunno how much time passes to be honest... We might be able to come back but... we don't know if the TRVLR is-" 

"Maybe it was just a fluke-" Alt says with a shrug, "Sure once we bring back Mag we can come back! But, just in case- maybe we should get each other's numbers- just so we can warn you next time we're around." He says with a grin. 

Jackieboy frowns, "Can that work across dimensions?" 

"Eh... probably not- but I know an Anti who could help with that- or maybe my glitches make it so I can... cuz I talk to him a lot," Alt replies. It does indeed seems like Mag is stirring- but is not quite awake yet. 

Jackie raises an eyebrow. "Really? That'll be cool. Yeah, hang on." He reaches into a pouch on his supersuit and pulls out his phone. "I dunno about everyone else, but I'll give you guys mine." 

"Me too," Chase says, taking his phone out. 

Schneep frowns. "That does not seem like the best idea to me. What if it does not work and you end up texting someone else with my number?" 

I'm a bit reluctant to give out my phone number these days, JJ says. 

"It's fine, if they have Windstorm and Chase's those guys can contact the rest of us," Marvin says. 

"Motherfucker I can't contact you," Jackie says. "I still don't have your number." 

"And you never willlll~" 

Alt laughs at Marvin's comment- 

Jackie rolls his eyes. "Okay, Marvin's up in the air, but the rest of us should be informed if you can contact us. Here, gimme your guys's number, too."

The boys all quickly exchange numbers. Alt, Bro and Jackieboy all give theirs. Jackieboy bounces up and down, "I hope we can get this to work!! I wanna hear all the cool hero things that happen here!" 

"Um?? Hero best friend right here?? Kinda offended??" Bro says raising an eyebrow and crossing his arms, "Am I not good enough anymore?" 

"You know what I mean! I wanna hear what other me gets up to! Besides they all have different villains and shit!” Bro snorts and rolls his eyes. 

“Oh my god- dude if we could face time my kids would lose their minds if they met you!" Jackieboy says excitedly, clutching his phone. 

"That might be pushing the universes' boundaries a bit-" Alt laughs.

"Oh I'd love to talk some more whenever you guys come by next!" Jackie says excitedly. "I could tell you all about my rouges gallery. Hyper Spike, Glacier, Titanium, Dark Storm--Marvin was actually one of my rouges for a long time but we're chill now so I wonder if I could chill with some of those guys." 

Jackieboy’s eyes sparkle, “I have no idea who any of those are but I wanna know!! Oh my god- new heroes and villains to learn about!! That’s so fucking cool!!”

"Dark Storm's a bitch, he won't want to chill with you," Marvin mutters. "But, uh, yeah, I-I'd love if you guys could... come visit again... and chat." 

Alt smiles at Marvin and nods, “Yeah… someday we can just- chill. But… gotta get the cat home first-“

Bro kneels down by Dahlia and blinks at her, "Hey- you gonna be okay? We never said thank you for saving our asses back there-"

Dahlia grins up at Bro. "Not a problem, it's what I do. I'll be fine. 've come back from this before." 

"The coma makes it a bit tricky," Schneep mutters. "But we will take care of her." JJ nods, grabbing his sister's hand and squeezing it tightly. 

"Hope we'll see you guys again," Chase says.

Bro smiles and nods, “I get it- just… take care of yourself. Seems like you got a lot of people who care about you.” He gets up and then grins and lightly punches his other self’s arm, “You will! We’ll be back! Promise!” 

Jackie Mann frowns at Mag and then looms over him- just in time for Mag to blearily open his eyes. He glares up at Jackieboy and struggles, shouting out against the gag. Jackieboy’s expression darkens and he kicks his foot against Mag’s cheek. Mag’s head snaps to the side and he looks almost stunned. 

“That’s for ruining our trip ya egomaniac!” Jackieboy bites. 

“Okayyy here Jackie just- lemme handle the mad angry hostile villain.” Bro says, dragging Jackieboy back. He goes to lift up Mag and then- finds he once again can with ease. He relaxes and laughs, grinning. “Just in time! Seems like power suppressing stuff wore off!” 

“Thank god.” Alt sighs with a smile. He pulls out the TRVLR and finds their own dimensions again, setting it up to jump.

"Whoa, I feel like that wore off faster than usual." Jackie laughs. "I guess that's the benefit of being from another world." He then glares at Mag. "You stay away next time. Or we'll kick your ass even harder than we just did." Dahlia glares at Mag as well. And Soren smiles, an expression accompanied by a chill of... fear? When was the last time Magnificent felt fear? 

Magnificent squirms and spits out curses against Alt’s magic- all up until that surge of fear gets sent through him. Then he quiets, seeming to shrink against Bro’s shoulder. Bro blinks then laughs, “Hey! That’s a handy trick!” He beams and nods his thanks to Soren and the others. 

JJ, in between Dahlia and Soren, signs, Don't come back. 

"You all can come back, though," Schneep says, nodding at Jackieboy, Alt, and Bro. 

"Any time!" Chase adds. 

"We'll see you around," Marvin says. "Good luck with all this."

Jackieboy grins, “We’ll be back real soon! For a proper day!” 

Alt smiles and salutes, “Until then~!” He then grabs the others and presses the jump button, preparing to go home.

And the familiar falling sensation happens, the world around them going dark. But... again, there it is. That ripple. And, like fish in water, the group feels themselves diverted just slightly off course as the space around them shifts.

How to Choose the Right DJ Lighting for Small, Medium, and Large Venues

When it comes to creating an unforgettable DJ performance, sound is only part of the equation. Lighting plays a critical role in setting the mood, energizing the crowd, and enhancing the overall experience. Whether you’re performing at a small party, a medium-sized wedding, or a massive event venue, the right lighting can make all the difference.

But how do you choose the perfect lighting setup for venues of different sizes? This blog breaks it down for you, providing tips and guidance to help you select the ideal DJ lighting for small, medium, and large venues.

Why Lighting Matters

Before diving into specifics, let’s talk about why lighting is essential. A well-designed lighting setup:

Enhances Atmosphere: Lights can transform a plain room into a vibrant, dynamic space.

Captures Attention: Proper lighting directs focus to key areas, such as the DJ booth or dance floor.

Boosts Energy: Flashing, color-changing, and moving lights can create an energetic environment that keeps the crowd engaged.

Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or rocking a massive venue, lighting is your secret weapon to elevate the vibe.

Small Venues: Keeping It Simple and Impactful

Small venues, such as house parties, coffee shops, or small clubs, typically don’t require an elaborate lighting setup. Here’s what to keep in mind:

1. Compact and Portable Equipment

Since space is limited, prioritize lightweight and portable lighting fixtures. Consider options like LED par cans, small wash lights, or a basic laser projector. These are easy to set up and don’t overwhelm the space.

2. Focus on Key Areas

In small venues, less is more. Highlight the DJ booth and the dance floor with focused lighting to create an intimate yet lively ambiance.

3. Add a Splash of Movement

A small moving head light or a simple sound-activated lighting effect can create motion without being overbearing. Pair this with a fog machine for added drama. 

Always test your lights in advance to ensure they’re not too bright for the space. Small venues can quickly feel over-lit, which can ruin the vibe.

Medium Venues: Striking a Balance

Medium-sized venues, like banquet halls or larger clubs, give you more room to experiment. The key here is balance—creating a dynamic experience without overwhelming the space.

1. Layer Your Lighting

A layered approach works best in medium venues. Use a mix of wash lights for overall ambiance, spotlights to highlight key areas, and effect lights for movement and excitement.

2. Utilize Zones

Divide the venue into zones:

Dance Floor: Prioritize dynamic lights like moving heads and strobe lights to keep the energy high.

Seating Areas: Use softer, static lights to maintain a relaxed atmosphere.

DJ Booth: Make this a focal point with an eye-catching lighting setup, like color-changing LED strips or uplights.

3. Sync Lights with Music

Consider investing in DMX-controlled lighting to synchronize your lights with your music. This adds a professional touch and keeps the crowd engaged.

4. Don’t Forget the Ceiling

Using lights that project patterns or colors onto the ceiling can make the space feel bigger and more immersive.

Large Venues: Go Big or Go Home

Large venues, such as concert halls, outdoor festivals, or massive ballrooms, demand a lighting setup that matches their scale.

1. Power and Coverage Are Key

In large spaces, your lighting needs to be powerful enough to reach every corner. Opt for high-powered moving heads, large wash lights, and high-output lasers.

2. Create Depth with Layers

To prevent the space from feeling flat, layer your lighting:

Front Lights: Illuminate the DJ and performers.

Overhead Lights: Use trusses to mount moving lights and strobes for an overhead spectacle.

Backlights: Add depth and dimension by placing lights behind the DJ or stage.

3. Embrace Special Effects

Large venues allow for creative freedom. Incorporate effects like CO₂ jets, confetti cannons, or large-scale projection mapping to wow the audience.

4. Plan for Outdoor Challenges

If you’re working outdoors, ensure your lighting is weatherproof and powerful enough to compete with ambient light from the environment.

Always work with a lighting plan or diagram for large venues. This ensures your lights are strategically placed for maximum impact.

General Tips for Choosing DJ Lighting

No matter the venue size, keep these universal tips in mind when choosing DJ lighting:

1. Know Your Audience

Are you performing for a laid-back crowd or a high-energy dance party? Tailor your lighting to match the vibe.

2. Consider the Venue’s Characteristics

Every venue is unique. Consider the height of the ceilings, the layout, and the existing lighting when planning your setup.

3. Test and Adjust

Always test your lights before the event. This allows you to make adjustments and troubleshoot any issues.

4. Prioritize Quality

Investing in quality equipment ensures durability, better performance, and a more professional look. Purchasing from a professional audio shop not only guarantees quality but also provides expert advice tailored to your specific needs.

The Importance of Proper Setup

Even the best lighting equipment won’t deliver the desired effect if it’s not set up correctly. Take the time to position your lights strategically and experiment with angles, brightness, and colors to find the perfect balance.

Conclusion: Light Up the Night

Choosing the right DJ lighting for small, medium, and large venues doesn’t have to be daunting. By understanding the unique needs of each space and following these tips, you can create a visually stunning experience that complements your music and captivates your audience.

Whether you’re lighting up an intimate gathering or a massive crowd, remember that lighting is an art form. With the right tools and a bit of creativity, you can transform any venue into an unforgettable spectacle. So, step into the spotlight and let your lighting skills shine!

Hero x Villain

This is part of a larger story. Here is the link to Chapter 1

Chapter 3

Sewer water rushed around them as the Villains made it to the end. An open grate that poured the water down into large smelly pools of filth. Undercrust layer 50. The trio took the maintenance ladder down to the catwalks that led all over the city. 

People knew better than to push and shove. Sure the catwalks were crowded, but the streets were flooded with crap, literally, so you just moved with the flow, keeping an eye out for the bridge that led to your destination. The patched up rope bridge soon came into view. Built out of anything they could get a hold of, it had metal, wood, plastic, and even a particularly dangerous rubber patch. Tele led them over it, using their power to ensure they didn’t fall. 

The sketchy bridge led to a patch work building, a neon sign above spelled out “Bar Keeps Tavern” which to the three was home. Metal clanged together as Tele pushed open the door. “Welcome!” A large man popped up from behind the bar. His shaggy black and white hair draped over his eyes. “Children! Welcome back! How was the Uppercrust? Did you do anything fun?” He also talked a lot.

“Hey Keeper, the Uppercrust was bright, we had a ton of fun, and made good use of all those bombs.” Tele could also talk a lot.

“Good good, good to have you all back. More Drones around lately, it puts me on edge when you all are away. Drones make bad customers, but they always pay so it’s not so bad.”

“The Drones came in for a drink?” WC took her usual seat on the bar. 

“They’ve come in twice now. Weren’t very talkative.”

WC glances a Tele, “Well Keep if they come in again close up. They aren’t the kind we want hanging around.”

“Right, that’s a good idea. Thanks Wixie.” 

She jumped off the counter, going to the trap door that led to their hideout. ��Anytime Keep.” The trap door was light, made out of some metal they salvaged. Down a couple steps, and a narrow tunnel, they found themselves in a large room. A table with maps of the Uppercrust, held down by a dud bomb, and a metal arm. Against the far wall was a fan that blew a cool breeze through the room and out the other side. It also brought the smell inside. Rot and crap, the smell of layer 50. 

Tele dropped their bag on the floor, heading for their hammock. “Home sweet, smelly home.” They collapsed into the makeshift bed causing the wall to groan. 

“I wonder how they picked the heroes.” Barrier leaned over the table tracing the route we took to the Queen’s mansion. 

“Through careful evaluation and training that killed a few ‘subjects’. Not that it matters, we need to plan how we are going to take down the Hero Program.” WC stood across the table from him. 

A remote hovered in the air in front of WC. “Oh, that reminds me!” Tele sat up in their  hammock, sitting in it like a swing. They had to be using their powers because if WC tried sitting in it like that she’d fall over. “I wanted to see if we made it in the nightly report.”

The remote clicked, a whirring noise came from a small projector above. A flicker, then a projected image of the nightly report came up on the wall behind her. She turned to see a grainy image of herself shooting a laser pistol at Flight. 

“Eeeeeeee!” Tele squealed. “Look, we’re celebrities!”

The video cut right after WC pulled out her sword, a stiff looking woman came on. “That video was taken earilier today by a Queen’s hover Drone outside her personal residence. Two of the Villains have been identified as 04061327096 codename Telekinesis,” an even blurrier  image of Tele came up, “ and 10011327056 codename Barrier-”

“Ah! Bair bair look, we’re famous.” Tele was jumping in their seat.

 “The unnatural one has yet to be identified. All three are said to be armed and dangerous. Any information on these villains must be reported to the Hero Program immediately.”

“Awe, WC they didn’t recognize you.” Tele slumped back into the hammock.

“That’s because I finally got all that junk they put into my hair and eyes out.”

“Yeah, stupid of them now they don’t know what you look like.”

“It also means they don’t know my power yet.”

“Well, now that we are celebrities I’m sure more people will follow us. Soon we will have the whole Undercrust fighting with us. Tonight I vote we eat and sleep.” A pack of food rations floated up from their stockpile, into Tele’s lap.

Barrier glanced at WC before grabbing a ration pack for himself, and settling into the hammock under Tele. “I, uh - I second that.”

This is why they couldn’t vote on anything. “Ugh, fine.” WC grabbed a ration pack for herself. “But tomorrow we plot the destruction of an empire.” She settled into a dingy couch. 

Above them in the bar Keep spoke with a few customers that came in, walking back and forth to serve drink orders. And just like a lullaby it puts her to sleep

[lafortis]

i'm a bit of a lights novice. are most of the lights you use LEDs? are incandescents still kicking around? is there some other tech in the lights world i don't know about?

this is actually a great question! the answer is, mostly LEDs but it depends! and now you've activated my trap card (low-level lights autism) and under the read more will be a more in-depth answer

from the pre-history of lights until, say, the late 2000s, every light pretty much had a high-intesnity discharge lamp in em, specifically (at least in america) starting with this guy:

basically, true "incandescents" only ever existed on big stages for performances in the form of PAR Cans,

and only for lower wattages, cus they're just inefficient and suck, basically. most PAR Cans are still tungsten halide or better, because they gotta be bright, and afaik there's never been a moving head incandescent, because things like heat and brightness are ever an more compounding concern in moving fixtures because every ounce of cooling is more weight on the motors.

so basically, if we consider high-intensity discharge lamps (more broadly shortened to "tungsten discharge" in the industry because all the electrodes are tungsten and who honestly cares what gas is in there anyway) to be the industry's definition of a "conventional" or "incandescent", then yeah, they're still used to this day, because while LEDs have been being broadly adopted since, say, 2007, it's only very recently that they've begun to truly compare with tungsten on every level.

until the last 5 or 10 years, it was still the case that if you wanted anything that needed to be really goddamn bright (for example, a blinder, which is what it sounds like, or a strobe, which needs to be as bright as possible because you're only seeing it for whatever percentage of a second at a time, or a skylight, which is for killing passing pilots and everyone on board), you'd still be using tungsten discharge, because they were the best and most efficient way to get THAT bright. they're still often referenced as a comparison point in new marketing for lumens/watt and maximum luminous output, and lots of modern fixtures have a tungsten emulation mode, which changes the way the LED dimmer/colour temperature responds as it dims up or down, to emulate the way that tungsten behaves (because we all just miss it so much, i guess).

basically, to give you a (slightly tilted) idea of the splay of lamp types throughout the industry, here's Robe's (pronounced Roh-bee, because they're misanthropic Czechs who just want to make us suffer) product lineup as of April 2024:

don't ask about the laser light source, those are new and very very cool and very very cutting edge. the digital source is basically just a moving projector, which is also very very cool but not what we're talking about here

but basically, "white source LED" is what I would think of as the "standard" model of moving head that's "not an LED" fixture, which is to say, there's only one LED (or one LED engine, i.e. multiple LEDs on a single board to get more brightness), and it's being used just like how a convetional lamp would be used, that is to say being used as a light source and nothing else.

multispectral LEDs are basically the same thing, but with the ability to control the colour temperature (i.e. how "white" the white is vs how "natural" it looks) with near-scientific precision, as compared to something like an RGB led, which will never really get you a good 5600K, it'll just be kinda piss yellow, or a white LED, which is just white and has to rely on colour filters put on top of it to filter out the light (which is fine but you only get a couple of those and they're never the ones you want). this is mostly for film or theatre applications, especially film, where the exact colour temperature of the light source is pretty much the number one concern.

multisource LEDs are basically a big fuckoff array of LEDs that can be controlled individually to make fun big stuff, e.g. the Robe Tarrantula

basically these exist on a sliding scale from "i can do some things to some of these LEDs in banks of 3, 5 etc" to "this might as well be pixel mappable," or in some cases actually is (flashing lights CW for this video, it's literally the product showcase for a strobe light, i tried to timestamp to not go directly to any flashing parts but nonetheless):

most often these are "wash" lights, i.e. lights with much bigger heads to fit much bigger and wider lenses, since it's utilizing many more lower power LEDs, and you need space for all those to fit.

finally, the discharge lamp section, while small, is mighty; the Robe Pointe series is one of the most common, most beloved high-end fixtures in the industry today. they're apparently mercury halide, not tungsten, so hey, the fuck do i know, but yeah. they're similar in a lot of ways to their white LED source compatriots, but i think brighter for the same price point (of course, the prices aren't actually on their website; at this price manufacturers are generally all b2b), and kinda just sexier in certain ways. i think. idk, i'm in the price point where i'm not super experienced with these fixtures lol, but that's my understanding

HENNYWAISE, there ya go :3

The Venator-class Star Destroyer Cruiser Protector served as the flagship of the 101st Fleet and the personal command ship of Jedi Knight/General Rhydon Kenobi and Fleet Admiral Whitney Thomas. The Protector, like her sister ship, the Peace of the 82nd Attack Fleet, boasted the Sapphire Blue colors of the 101st Legion rather than the standard crimson red colors of the Republic Navy and was always seen leading the 101st Fleet from the front. Because of the leading from the front belief of the Protector's commanding officers, many in the 101st Fleet would find inspiration, and many ships would follow behind their flagship, eager to see the mission through. Throughout the war, The Protector would be home to many individuals in the 101st Legion, from Rhydon Kenobi and his wives: Zarina Kenobi, Taylor Smith, and Sierra Sommers, to Rhydon Kenobi's padawan Zayla Secura, Admiral Whitney Thomas, ARC Commander Zeus, and many others.

Continuing to fight through the Clone Wars, the Protector would see action through battles such as Christophsis, Ryloth, Geonosis, Saleucami, Kamino, Sullust, Umbara, Ringo Vinda, Anaxes, Coruscant, and Mandalore. Through each battle, the Protector was flanked by the Venator Battleships North Carolina, Washington, Arizona II, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, California, Tennessee, Nevada, Oklahoma II, Venator Carriers Enterprise, Yorktown II, Hornet II, Wasp II, and Venator Cruisers Baltimore, Bremerton, Arquitens Light Cruisers Brooklyn and St. Louis, Aspis Destroyer Laffey, and Aiwha-class Stealth Ship Nautilus. An aspect of the Protector that made it an impressive ship was the customization that Rhydon Kenobi and Whitney Thomas put into the ship; not only did the cruiser possess a unique color scheme related to its Jedi commander, but the Protector also boasted an advanced shield, armor, and a better weapons system, than most Venator cruisers. This amount of customization to the Protector was seen by many as unnecessary, but Rhydon Kenobi and Admiral Thomas stood by their decision to increase the ship’s combat capabilities.

The downfall of the Flagship Protector would come from several of the final battles of the Clone Wars, in which the ship’s shields were weakened and her armor damaged. This weakened state would come to be stressed to its limit in the Battle of Coruscant, where despite the Protector being kept in the rear of the battle for once, she would still be struck by enemy fire in the battle. Following the Battle of Coruscant, Rhydon and Admiral Whitney recognized that the Protector would more than likely not survive another battle without extensive repairs, but the need to deploy the remaining ships of the 101st Fleet to Mandalore had forced them to put repairs on hold. Rhydon and Whitney’s decision was due to the remaining half of the 101st Fleet, as well as the 332nd Armada, were already at Mandalore, performing a siege operation against the forces of Darth Maul and the Dark Acolyte Zolan Chan.

Upon their arrival at Mandalore, Rhydon had Admiral Whitney transfer any important equipment, as well as any personal items, to anyone aboard the Protector, onto the Enterprise while he led the ground forces to the planet's surface. This would prove beneficial when Order 66 was initiated, causing several clone crew members to turn against the Jedi leadership. Fortunately, the crew of the Protector, and consequently the Enterprise, and several other important 101st Fleet ships, were loyal to the Jedi and refused to follow Order 66, but this would, however, put a massive target on them, as the ships that were going through with the Order, turned on them. As it was, the Protector was situated in the middle of the Fleet formation, and while a good number of the surrounding ships were Jedi loyal, several ships weren't, thus leading to the 101st flagship being fired upon, causing her already weakened state to be further stressed to the breaking point.

Although Admiral Whitney did her best to keep order on the Protector, she would be forced to order the crew and all other clones and personnel aboard to evacuate the cruiser and quickly make her way to an escape pod. In the end, this would come to be the best choice, as the Protector would explode in a massive fireball as the escape pods and vessels made their way to any nearby Jedi loyal ships, the majority of them, including Admiral Whitney's pod, made their way to the Enterprise. Admiral Whitney Thomas would meet up with Commodore Wilhelm Halsey, who served as the commander of the Enterprise, and Jedi General Rhydon Kenobi, who had returned from the planet's surface after being rescued by female clone troopers, alongside his apprentice Zayla Secura, wife Zarina, and the Jedi loyal male clone troopers. After this, the Venator-class Star Destroyer Carrier Enterprise would take up the torch as the new flagship of the 101st Fleet, continuing to honor the legacy of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Cruiser Flagship Protector.

More than two miles long and 1,142 feet tall, Uluru, the red sandstone rock formation in Australia’s Northern Territory, wows travelers during the day.

But now, a new night spectacle Wintjiri Wiru illuminates the darkness adjacent to the monolith in a way that reveals Indigenous culture while dazzling with high-tech sound and lights.

“Humans are drawn to light—just think of how compelling sunsets are,” says Melbourne light artist Bruce Ramus, who designed the work in collaboration with the local Anangu people and Voyages Indigenous Tourism.

Wintjiri Wiru is just the latest offering—and newest technology — in the tradition of son et lumière (sound and light) shows, grand public spectacles projected on to (or close to) historic buildings and natural wonders.

These mash-ups of pageantry, culture, and art are experiencing a boom fueled by digital advances and tourist sites looking to attract visitors after dark.

Here’s where to see the latest shows, plus why visitors love these “virtual campfires.”

How did sound and light shows start?

Paul Robert-Houdin created the first sound and light show in 1952 at France’s Château de Chambord.

Music and narration played while slide projectors splashed colored lights on the 16th-century palace.

“We had the feeling that a new way of discovering and understanding monumental heritage was perhaps being born,” one observer wrote in Le Figaro newspaper.

The concept was a hit.

“Standing in the dark and being immersed in sounds and images creates a sense of enchantment,” says Jane Lovell, a professor of tourism at Canterbury Christ Church University in England.

In the following decades, other storied sites harnessed that magic, such as the Red Fort in Delhi, India, and Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

“There were captive audiences for these attractions, so the efforts were minimal—just light up these beautiful things that already existed,” says California light show producer Ryan Miziker.

Early technology was expensive and bulky: sofa-sized slide carousels, finicky stereo speakers that malfunctioned in bad weather.

The storytelling, if mostly historically accurate, could be clunky and lecturing.

At Egypt’s Pyramids at Giza, the still-running circa-1961 show features the Sphinx “narrating” a lofty spiel about ancient life as murky colored lights wash over the monuments.

https://youtu.be/anLYLqMyK1I

How tech took over light shows

“Son et lumieres started out as pretty rudimentary things—a castle would be lit up and a soundtrack would say, ‘this tower was built in 1592,’” says Ross Ashton of London’s Projection Studio, which designs extravaganzas for attractions from Welsh castles to Indian fortresses.

But by the 1990s, innovations in video, lasers, and audio meant creators could screen riveting, mind-bending shows.

“Digital video changed everything,” says Miziker.

“We had software to do 3-D mapping, which takes a round object like a globe and flattens it, or wraps any structure in overlapping, blending geometry.”

Sound evolved, too.

“Bells, spoken voices from different directions, or a fireball rolling, you can layer sound up, so it feels like a tapestry,” says Projection Studio’s sound artist Karen Monid.

Today’s sound and light shows are like mini action movies screened on historic buildings or natural wonders.

San Antonio’s The Saga wraps the 18th-century San Fernando Cathedral in sound effects (mariachi ballads, cannon blasts) and painterly images (folk dancers, renderings of the Alamo) to tell the story of the Texas city.

In Jerusalem, Israel, the ancient Tower of David has two night shows, one on city history and the other about the biblical shepherd-turned-ruler that gave the site its name.

Wintjiri Wiru harnesses LED lights, lasers, sound, and 1,100 drones to recount a legend from the Anangu, who consider Uluru sacred.

The show depicts mala (wallaby-rabbit) beings battling a gigantic devil dog spirit.

“Combine light with sound—in this case Anangu songs and other effects—and it’s like the desert is speaking,” says Ramus.

Other projects are more abstract, such as the new Aura Invalides show at Les Invalides in Paris, which fills the grand interiors of the historic military monument with surreal rays of colored light and outlines architectural elements in laser graffiti.

“People move around within the building, making it more like a 360-degree immersion than something didactical,” says Manon McHugh, a spokesperson for Moment Factory, the studio that created the show.

Why travelers love spectacles

Experts think people are drawn to these shows for their sense of wonder and spectacle.

“Sound and light shows are like fireworks—it’s impossible to look away,” says Miziker.

"Since audiences are sitting in the dark, there’s cognitive dissonance, with the atmosphere almost becoming its own entity,” says Lovell.

https://youtu.be/FV3XdOda3zM

Plus, in this age of Instagram, sound and light spectacles make ideal selfie backdrops or video ops.

“When Moment Factory started doing shows, we didn’t want people to have their phones out,” says McHugh.

Now, other digital production studios build in elements like photo booths to encourage participants to share their experiences.

How sound and light shows help tourist sites

Sound and light shows can be expensive and time-consuming to design.

(Wintjiri Wiru was developed over several years and cost $10 million.)

But many tourist attractions and cities are willing to shell out.

“They produce new income streams,” says Ashton. “People normally go home at night, but if you sell them a ticket to an illumination, they’ll come back.”

Many sound and light experiences in public, urban spaces — outside cathedrals, on city halls, across skyscrapers — are free, but paid for by cities to give visitors an excuse to stay an extra night.

“We used to think of tourism as a daytime activity, but there has been this tourist-ification of the night,” says Andrew Smith, a professor of urban experiences at England’s University of Westminster.

“Now cities want to attract people and keep them in town. It’s a commodification of the night, a way to extend economic and cultural activity.”

Studies indicate that these shows might even make city downtowns feel safer. “It starts to dematerialize the buildings,” says Ramus.

“You just see the lights, and our cities become transparent. They feel gentler.”

A place where every incarcerated youth, no matter their past, is given a roadmap to a future. A place where a pregnant teen becomes a proud mother. Where a dropout becomes a graduate. Where failure is not final.”

“This is not a detention center. This is a launchpad. And we will build it — not as an institution of fear, but as a monument to reform, reinvention, and redemption.”

Where can I find LED headlights for cars?

The following are the channels and related information where you can buy car LED headlights, combined with current market data (as of May 2025):

I. Online purchase channels

Professional auto parts platform

CarParts.com

◦ Advantages: Provide direct-mount LED headlights for popular models such as Jeep Wrangler, Toyota Camry, Ford F-150, etc., and support precise matching of vehicle selectors.

◦ Brands: Replacement, Anzo, Dorman, etc., price range $30-$200/pair, including two-year warranty.

Alibaba

◦ Features: Suitable for bulk purchases or low-price needs, covering mainstream models such as H1/H7/H4, some products support 12-36V wide voltage, and the lowest unit price starts at $6.8 (such as the basic model of the Muchi brand).

Comprehensive e-commerce platforms

Amazon: Hot-selling models include Marsauto 194 LED (6000K white light, 10 packs $20) and SNGL 3157/3156 (amber/red/white signal lights, 2 packs $32.99).

* SNGL: SH70P2 Projector-Specific ($148 and up), compatible with H7/9005/9006/9012/H11 interfaces, intelligent IC led driver built-in an all-new CANBUS system, suitable for most models.

2. Offline purchase channels

Chain auto parts stores

AutoZone/Advance Auto Parts: Provides buy-and-install service, common brands such as Sylvania and Philips, and supports 30-day returns.

Local modification shops: Recommend high-end products such as laser headlights (irradiation distance 500 meters +), which require professional installation and calibration.

Brand authorized dealers

III. Purchase suggestions

Adaptability first

Use the vehicle VIN code or platform matching tool (such as the vehicle selector on CarParts.com) to confirm the interface model (such as H7/H4).

Special models (such as truck 24V system) need to choose a wide voltage model (such as Yongtang H7, $39/pair).

Performance parameters

Brightness: Prioritize products with a nominal lumen ≥ 10,000LM (such as the H1 model on web page 3, which reaches 12,000LM).

Heat dissipation design: fanless aluminum substrates (such as the CSP 2525 chip on web page 3) are more durable than traditional fan models.

Regulations and safety

Make sure the product meets ECE R112 or SAE standards to avoid glare problems (such as OSRAM and Philips are DOT certified).

Fourth, cost-effective recommendation Model Price Features Applicable scenarios Nurussheng H7 strong light version $178/pair 24-core LED, 360° luminous, suitable for Zhonghua/Dongfeng models City night driving SAST dual-light lens $238/pair Far and near integrated laser design, support H4 interface Long-distance driving on highways SNGL series $109.95/pair 100W power, IP68 waterproof, 6500K white light Frequent use in rainy and foggy weather

Installation complexity: Some models (such as BMW and Audi) need to remove the front bumper. It is recommended to purchase a package including installation service.

Warranty terms: Confirm that the warranty covers light decay (provide 1 year warranty, and the brand's official website is usually longer).

If you need more models or real-time prices, you can directly visit the above platform and search for your model keywords (such as "2025 Toyota Camry LED headlights") to get accurate results.
