Hihihi quite honestly, I can't fault you for forgetting about Song Lan when almost all of my Yi City content banks on the idea that he will never pop up and they can keep living happily, yes, hmm hmm XD Out of sight and out of mind, you know.
There are so many reasons Song Lan could be missing anyways, from him having hardwired instructions to patrol at certain hours unless ordered to stay, to Xue Yang keeping him under a blanket when he is inactive because why not add insult to injury, to him suddenly being free due to Xue Yang's mind reset and having stepped out of the house to get a shovel and bury him...
Anyways, forgotten Song Lan or not, I remember Nepenthe as an incredibly gripping and unfairly saddening fic, banking on my fear of memory loss to boot, so forgetting the fierce corpse is the least of my concerns when Xue Yang just walks away and Xingchen wakes up omfg you MADE IT and you WON'T EVEN KNOWWWW TT-TT
As for One Satisfied Customer, I have no regrets whatsoever that the whole debacle ended up with the madam almost booting them and the price remains unspoken of until the end -which it was solved too anyways, hahaha! No complaints there.
I suppose the madam measured Xiao Xingchen's wealth by sight alone, and while he might be dressed humbly, I should bet Shuanghua alone could be worth a couple omegas at least... And considering Xiao Xingchen got the feral one, I'm inclined to believe Xue Yang comes with a hefty discount XD
That fic was so entertaining, very well crafted in terms of worldbuilding, setting the stage very clearly from a slice of Xiao Xingchen's life -that turns out to be life-changing for him!! I always love how good chemistry they have, particularly in your fics, no matter if canon, canon-adjacent or completely bonkers au, xuexiao always manage to find each other and click so well!
(YES!! EVEN IN PRICELESS!!! XD)
Your penguins look healthy and lovely. Picture me like a happy ornithologist. ^-^
As for my nagging thoughts... I'm in the bad habit of correcting and expanding (minimally) my fics days, weeks and even months after posting them. Whatever regrets I might have, I try to correct them with minimal changes and hope no one noticed my blunder.
A good example of that was A Comedy of Yi City Errors, where there was quite an incoherence with the timing because according to one chapter Song Lan arrives the same day as the other three, but in the next Xiao Xingchen&Co have already spent one night there...
But that was easy enough to fix, hehehe. And that fic in particular was already a clusterfuck of well-timed coincidences, so I doubt anyone paid attention to that XD
No, the things that bother me in a fic are the tonal inconsistences, which tend to happen to me if I write long fics (which I don't generally like) because depending on the day the characters will be more spiked up than others...
That is something I cannot fix afterwards with a couple extra lines, it's part of the fic structure, so those I don't usually re-read with the hopes of forgetting enough about them to look at them with really fresh eyes without being bombarded by all the weird shit going on there >-<
Fortunately, I don't think I have any xuexiao fics with this problem because I treat those with the utmost love and reverence ^-^ but I was very, very upset with the way Secrets Light as a Feather (a jadecest fic) shaped up, to the point I considered abandoning it despite being part of an event... U_U
Thank you for taking part in this little ask game with me!! Sorry about the late answer, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more penguins of yours and introducing you to a few of my own >w<

Okay I’m dying for this, but it’s totally optional and you don’t have to write it.
I need our Riddle Man to have a daughter (maybe 12ish age wise?) that is similar to him right? (They just won’t shut up—like getting excited about certain things won’t shut up—and other Eddie characteristics—such as sass master 3000). I want to know how other rouges would react to meeting and spending time with a child such as this. I need them to be annoyed but think it endearing at the same time. Maybe a little fic idk.
On a completely different note—your writing is amazing and I die every time I read something of yours. The way you write Riddler is top notch. Keep up the fantastic work 🥳
Okay so I took this as a scenario since you want multiple reactions. Loving this already hehehe. Also thank you so much, I will CRY 😭❤️
The Riddler was tough work to even breathe around. Therefore the thought of him reproducing and now as a twelve year old daughter was frightening. Although they'll try to shape her into a more tolerable person rather than tolerant since that's a lost cause. The Riddler's daughter was certainly a challenge but deep down, they couldn't help but feel blessed.
Scarecrow: He's always fixing their hair or picking at their clothes. It makes the Riddler feel like he's judging his parenting. "What do you say?" "Now." She remarked. Jonathan stares her down. "Dad says that manners are to be used for him and that no one else has earned them." "Your father is a narcissist and you know fine well that what your father says only fits his perception- not reality. You also know, I do not care if my phone rings or he comes to my home, he won't change my mind. He'll instead have fear toxin to the face. So I'll ask you again, what do you say?" "...Thank you." "You're welcome, you've proven yourself better than your father already." Jonathan replied. "Can I tell him you said that?" You asked. "Why else would I compliment you than knowing you'll tell him when you're home. Its one of the very few delights in my life, dear." It was true. Nothing made Jonathan happier than knowing every compliment he gave would be passed to the Riddler.
Two-Face: "Oh wow. I can't wait to give you back to your father." Harvey grumbled after another one of your uncalled for remarks. "We could slip something in a drink or give the kid a drink. She'll never know. " Two-Face offered. Harvey cannot believe he was capable of such a thought. "Your solution is to either drug the kid or get them drunk?" He deadpanned. "Oh suddenly morals are on the table?" Two-Face shot back. "Harv', I know what alcohol smells like." The girl spoke. Harvey hummed, acknowledging her input. "Dad says he doesn't want me touching the stuff until I'm thirty and that it ruins a quick intellect." She continued. "Your dad's up his own ass." Two-Face retorted. "Hey!" Harvey snapped at Two-Face.
Mad Hatter: The Riddler was very apprehensive about leaving you with Jervis given his mental state. Plus he thought you were a munchkin once upon a time. He claims its just a pet name but Edward isn't too sure. That wasn't even a wonderland themed reference? "Tea, my dear?" Jervis grinned. "Dad says you've to stop giving me so much sugar in my tea. That three is too much and just sickening." Jervis raised an eyebrow. "So can I have four sugars?" You asked hopefully and Jervis wasted no time in giggling with glee and complying. There were no rules with Jervis and all of Edward's rules were out the window the moment you crossed the threshold. Neither of you even tried to hide it and Jervis often had you back to the Riddler, bouncing off the walls with hyperactivity.
Penguin: Undisputed, he is Uncle Oz or Uncle Penguin. He and the Riddler have history and do consider each other some form of a friend. However the Riddler refers to him as Uncle Oswald. Oswald gives her money 9 times out of 10. Usually a ten or twenty and it never really goes acknowledged between the two rogues after the Riddler taught you manners...who are we kidding- it was Jonathan who did that. The Riddler hoped that seeing the Iceberg Lounge would satisfy her curious mind whilst and show her what not to be. "Dad, there's more chance that I'll be a redhead than grow up to be an old small man who resembles a penguin. Did you know red heads take one one to two percent of a population? That's the least common." "Yes, I did. I was the one who told you that and that's not what I meant! I'm referring to the women Oswald hires." Edward replied with frustration. "Oh...I liked the high heels of one of them. I reckon it'd make me the same height as you." He sighed. "No, never in your life. Over my dead body will I ever allow you to wear those." "Aunt Harley would." She retorted. "She isn't your aunt and I don't suggest following her footsteps. I won't take kindly to anyone treating my daughter like dirt and there are only so many places I can discreetly hide bodies." She paused. "I could put myself up for adoption? Seems fairly easy. I have your signature perfected." "Keep talking like that and I'll put you up for adoption myself." The Riddler huffed. "And stop forging my signatures! Who knows what nonsense you'd put my name to."
Mister Freeze: The Riddler made a mental note to keep Victor to a very last alternative. Not because he didn't trust Victor. He could believe you'd be very safe with Mister Freeze but you came back rather...well, depressed. Has had to call Jonathan a few times to make sure there isn't permanent damage. "Life is meaningless and we all die alone in the end." You deadpanned. "Did you know the average age for widowhood is fifty-nine? A females life expectancy is eight-two years old. Therefore, chances are high that I'll die alone." "Sweet girl, Nora isn't dead and her husband keeps her frozen until he creates a cure for her. Believe it or not, my dear, that isn't normal. Now go read your encyclopedia whilst I call Jonathan."
Joker: Has never met you and if the Riddler has anything to say about it, which he always does, the Joker will never meet his daughter.
Harley: Gets her to recite all she's learned about the mind. All the while she's doing the daughters hair. She always gives the girl back with a completely different hairstyle. The Riddler always notices and he points it out all the time. Harley insists, to Nygma's dismay, that his daughter calls her 'Aunt Harley'. "Aww! We gotta show puddin' how smart you are!" "Dad said i can't talk to him." Harley sighed in disappointment. "I know...can't it be our little secret?" "Dad said I've to call Uncle Jonathan if I'm in the same building as him." She said and Harley cursed under her breath. Harley is also the one that she goes to if she feels she needs a females advice. Which he secretly appreciates. Hormones are a bitch and sometimes he isn't the most equipped to deal with it.

Hey do you wanna know what I thought of Batman: The Telltale Series? No? Well here it is.
Season 1
Not a huge fan of this Bat symbol. It’s not awful though. And Batman’s ears are a liiiiiiiiiiittle too short.
I’ve heard some people say they don’t like Troy Baker as Batman, but I think he does a perfectly fine job.
It’s neat that the game lets you choose the color of Batman’s equipment, though I think blue is really the only color that works for it. Also it seems a little weird that everything Batman owns glows. There’s a moment where he grapples up a stairwell and the levels of the building light up as he passes through them. Doesn’t seem very stealthy for what’s supposed to be a method of escape.
The visuals in this game are good. The animation can be a little stiff at times, but nothing too bad. The cell shading’s cool.
Batman calling Alfred “Al” is weird. Why does he do this? I do not like this.
Catwoman is really good in this. I like her involvement in the story. I like her and Batman. I like her voice. I like her costume, though the material seems kinda bland; I like it when Catwoman’s costume is a bit shinier. That gadget she has that lets her slide up walls is cool, I’ll be damned if I know how it works though.
Not a huge fan of Batman scrambling his voice. It’s not huge, and I get why it makes sense for him to do it, but I just don’t like it. There are a lot of times Batman has more personal conversations with people and having him talk through a machine in situations like that makes it feel kind of distant, like he’s hiding behind it. I prefer it when Batman just speaks in two different voices as Bruce and as Batman. Hell, Troy Baker’s surely got the vocal range for that; He’s Troy Baker.
It took me forever to realize what it was I didn’t like about Gordon’s design, and that’s that his mustache is too thin.
Harvey Dent is good in this. Would have preferred his hair be black though. And why is he so tall? Bruce looks like a dwarf standing next to him. I do really like how they build up Harvey and Bruce’s friendship in this. Seeing him try to fight his own transformation, and regret what he does as “Two-Face” immediately after he does it, is genuinely saddening.
Vicki Vale could have been a good character if they hadn’t wasted her on a twist. Having to choose between giving the evidence on Falcone to her or to Gordon was interesting. It would have been nice to see that carry out through the whole game. Also when are we gonna get redhead Vicki Vale?
The design for Oswald Cobblepot is... different. I guess it’s fine since he’s supposed to be him when he’s younger. Still, he’s pretty much gonna have to change every single thing about his appearance in order to actually end up looking like his old self. The bird-beak gas mask is clever. I kind of like that the “Penguin” persona starting off as a way for Oswald to commit crimes while keeping his own name clean. Personality-wise he’s good. By the end of the game he’s an absolute bastard and all you want to do is beat the shit out of him, which is about what the Penguin should be. Him being childhood friends with Bruce Wayne seemed a little weird and didn’t really add much to his character or the story. It’s a little Roman Sionis-y.
Actually hold on a second here the Penguin in this game is actually just Black Mask  - childhood friend of Bruce Wayne’s  - hates the Waynes because of what they stand for  - “legitimate businessman” who creates a masked alter-ego to commit crimes I’m not even complaining about that it’s just kind of weird.
Batman having white lenses in his cowl is interesting and it makes sense. I don’t really like it or dislike it.
The Waynes murder twist is what really kills this thing. It’s such a huge change to Batman’s origin just for the sake of a twist. The whole time through I was hoping they’d reveal that all of the evidence was fabricated, and when they introduced Falcone’s drugs I was holding out on the hope that they were somehow influencing Bruce’s memory, as contrived as that would be. Bruce revisiting his parents’ murder seems forced. I get that people block out memories sometimes, but apparently all Bruce had to do to remember the entire conversation that happened while his parents were being repeatedly shot was to think real hard about it. Has he never thought real hard about it before? Didn’t Bruce try to investigate his parents’ murder after it happened?
Bruce’s car turning into the Batmobile is dope. Wouldn’t work for most versions of the Batmobile, but since this is early in Batman’s career and the Batmobile is pretty close to a regular car, it works. The color-changing is great too. 10/10 Batmobile would like to see again.
I’m not really fond of Batman using such advanced technology like drones, a forensic scanner built into his glove, and lenses that let him plan out his moves in advance, so early on in his career. Like I get that Bruce is gonna have a lot of technology at his disposal, and it’d be stupid of him not to use it, but when it’s early in his career I prefer seeing him not have everything built up so much and having to rely more on what he can make on his own. Like it’d be one thing if he were just occasionally re-purposing some Waynetech inventions but these things look like they’ve been specifically made for Batman. The damned things are even shaped like bats.
I like the idea of Martha Wayne organizing special screenings of The Mark of Zorro whenever Bruce wanted to see it. That’s sweet.
The choice of whether or not to save Harvey is a pretty obvious one to include, but having it be a choice brings up some weird questions. If you save Harvey, he still ends up becoming “Two-Face,” so it’s not like you’re actually saving him from a life of crime. It seems like he was doomed from the start. Does Harvey’s face ever become disfigured in that timeline then? Does he just go on to have a lengthy criminal career as Two-Face, without actually having two faces?
Hey Blockbuster sure is a character who is in this and sure does look the way he does in this and that’s just about all that can be said about him
So if you save Selina, she’ll show up to the hospital with flowers, then change her mind, give you the flowers, and you walk into the hospital with flowers for Harvey. If you save Harvey, Selina doesn’t show up at the hospital at all, and you visit Harvey... with the flowers. Where did you get the flowers from, if not Selina? If Bruce bought the flowers himself, then why didn’t he also buy them in the timeline where he saved Selina? He didn’t know Selina was going to be there to give him flowers, so why did he show up without flowers? I feel like this would have been a good opportunity for the game to go, “hey look at that, your choices really do change things!” by having him not have the flowers if you save Harvey.
Where did Selina get that tank top from? She wasn’t wearing it when she took off her suit. It’s not like they’re opposed to showing partial nudity in this game; we saw Selina without a shirt earlier on, and we got a whole walking simulator of a half-naked Bruce. If they really wanted to have Selina be more covered up they could have had her put on the tank top after she woke up. Did she have sex with Bruce, put the tank top on when they were done, then fall asleep?
Meeting Joker in Arkham and seeing a glimpse of who he would become was cool.
I don’t really like Zsasz’s voice.
Batman comforting the Vale kid was a good moment.
Penguin’s monocle looks kind of silly. It’s a nice nod to his regular monocle, I guess.
Harvey’s arm catching on fire when you jam his gun is kind of overkill. The flames really burned through that much clothing and did that much damage to his arm and leg in that short an amount of time? Like give it a rest he already has two faces.
Why do grapple guns need to be connected to a computer?
The flashback to Bruce and Oz as kids is kind of weird. Didn’t really tell us anything we didn’t already know. Didn’t make me feel anything for Bruce and Oz’s friendship since I didn’t really care in the first place.
Oh no Commissioner Grogan doesn’t like me I wonder if this is gonna cause any tension going forward oh wait he’s dead now and we made up how sad
Y’know, Harvey’s “Two-Face” voice sounds real silly when his face isn’t disfigured.
“Cobblepot” slapped over the ”Wayne” in Wayne Enterprises in Comic Sans is golden.
heheh, Fal-Coney Island
I had forgotten Selina was in the game until that last part with her. It was a good sendoff though.
Using the reflection in Alfred’s glasses to find clues about the room he’s being kept in is clever. I like it.
The armored Batsuit is dope. The classic Batsuit is also dope.
“Blue... the same color as my tech. It can’t be a coincidence.” Yes Bruce it absolutely goddamn could.
Vicki already had a perfectly sound motivation for doing what she did, did we really have to learn her adoptive parents were abusive too?
I keep forgetting Vicki can levitate. Probably because she only does it twice in the whole game. You’d think she’d do it a little bit more given how useful it is. It’s kind of over-powered honestly. How does it work? Is it the same technology as her staff? Where did she get that from? What does it have to do with her character? Why doesn’t Batman start using stuff like this?
So if you choose the option that gets Alfred’s eye blown out of his head, he has an eyepatch. So throughout the rest of Batman’s career Alfred’s gonna be a guy with an eyepatch. Having an eyepatch is now Alfred’s thing in this world. Either that or Bruce gets a little bit of his ear blown off, which is less egregious but still kind of weird... still that shit’s gonna heal up the second he meets Ra’s al Ghul.
So if you go as Bruce Wayne, Bruce makes a speech, and if you go as Batman, Batman talks to Jim for a hot minute before the speech happens... so Bruce could have still made his speech. You didn’t have to choose between going as Bruce and going as Batman. Sure, Batman swoops in to save Jim once Random Attacker with No Motivation #389 drives a truck into Jim, but Batman had no idea that was going to happen, and he would have saved the day even if he went as Bruce.
“Oh boy, it’s gonna be tough to top that!” John he pushed someone out of the way of a truck it’s the least impressive thing that’s happened in this entire game.
The real shame about this game is that it didn’t need to have all of these twists to be “new” and “different.” There have been plenty of stories that focus on Batman’s early days, but this one was different in that it was a video game that had you go through his early days step-by-step, instead of just having it be the backdrop for a regular Batman adventure. Splitting things up pretty much 50/50 between your life as Batman and your life as Bruce Wayne is also pretty rare for a video game. Hell, the simple fact that this is a Batman game done in the Telltale style sets it apart from other Batman games in and of itself. They didn’t need to make Thomas Wayne a criminal, make Vicki Vale a terrorist who’s actually an Arkham, or even make Penguin Bruce’s childhood friend. This game was good enough without those, and would have been better off if they weren’t there.
Season 2 Episode 1
Haha what the fuck they made a sequel?
The Riddler in this looks baaaad. The hood just doesn’t work. I feel like it’s an attempt to make him look more “realistic,” but isn’t it more realistic for someone to wear a bowler hat with a suit than to have a suit where the jacket has a hood? When he first shows up at the casino he looks so out of place with his hood up. Bowler hats may be kind of flashy, but real people do wear them. It’s not like it’s to hide his identity, since he doesn’t seem concerned with hiding who he is, and the game goes out of its way to have his hood get knocked off in every encounter anyway. The hook on his cane is clever, but hacking and slashing at people doesn’t seem very Riddler. Him being a villain from back in Thomas Wayne’s days bothers me too. It means his career reached its peak before Batman was even around. He’s hardly a Batman villain then, just a Gotham City villain whose last fight happened to be against Batman. And then he dies.
New Batsuit looks good. I didn’t dislike the old one but I like this one a lot more.
Riddler tells Batman “you’re supposed to be the world’s greatest detective.” Would Batman really have already gained that reputation at this point?
Gordon’s mustache is bigger. I like it.
Seeing Bruce doing Batman work at rich people events is fun, though the “I’m looking for new thrills” excuse can only work so many times.
Hey, Amanda Waller’s in this.
Interested to see where Alfred’s condition is gonna go. I hope he’s okay. I hope they don’t kill him for shock value like everyone else in this series
Tiffany is annoying. She’s every “young genius” character.
Killing Lucius was stupid and needless.
“Please tell me you didn’t put him in danger.” “We didn’t know there was any danger.” “How dare you!” Well fine then Tiffany I’ll choose the Lie option then. The fact that you can do everything else right but telling Tiffany the truth will cause her to hate you is dumb.
So does no one else notices that Joke- John Doe’s skin is white and hair is green?
All of Riddler’s puzzles and the way Batman solves them are pretty clever.
Seems weird that the game gives you the option to let the other three agents die to save Avesta. Even if Avesta were to die, ti’d still be one death as opposed to three, and if you want to save Avesta it’d still be objectively better to let her take the first two sonic blasts, then choose her over the other agent for the third riddle since either way one person would die (not that the third riddle matters in the end, since Batman ends up breaking out before that). Yeah that causes Avesta to go deaf, but going deaf is still better than dying. It seems like an obvious choice given Batman’s morals.
So we get to fuck Agent Avesta, right?
Season 2 Episode 2
Bane’s tattoos look bad. And when his veins turn green they overlap with the tattoos, so it looks even worse. His goatee sticking out of his mask looks stupid too. The rest of him’s fine. I like his voice.
i’m getting tired of every introduction to Bane having him do the back-break pose, then not breaking Batman’s back. I get that you can’t do the whole Knightfall arc when you’ve got your own story to tell, but if Bane’s not gonna break Batman’s back then don’t bother teasing it.
That one purple button on John Doe’s vest is annoying and out of place. i hate it.
They’re kind of pushing this whole “John is obsessed with Bruce” thing a little too hard. It was fine having them interact in Arkham but now it seems like they’re using John’s fixation on Bruce as a stand-in for Joker’s fixation on Batman, instead of just having him be fixated on Batman in the first place. Really Bruce’s involvement with the villains in general is getting to be a little too much. Bruce interacting with white collar criminals in a sort of shady-business setting is one thing, but now he’s hanging around with full-on supervillains.
The “LOL WOULDN’T IT BE CRAZY IF BRUCE AND JOHN WERE GAAAAY” jokes are cringey please stop forever.
It seems like in this Joker is the one trying to impress Harley and Harley is the one who’s pushing Joker around. And instead of Joker turning Harley into what she is, she just decided to dress up like the biker version of a court jester and commit crimes using a sledgehammer because her dad died... as you do. So why then am I supposed to feel bad for Harley? Normally it’s because she was in an abusive relationship, but now she’s the abuser. If anything I should feel bad for Joker... who apparently is becoming the Joker... because of Harley? God this is like a fanfiction. And if Joker ever does end up being the one who manipulates Harley, why the hell should I care? If anything she deserves it since she was the one who started manipulating him. There are plenty of stories where Harley manages to pull one over on Joker, and they work because Harley’s getting payback for what Joker did to her. In this, she’s the one who started this whole thing. All of this is her fault. Honestly, fuck her.
Outside of that, Harley’s kind of annoying but she’s not awful. She’s got a few “Wouldn’t it be just QUIRKY if I did something really inconveniencing right now?” moments.
Bruce letting John and Harley into Wayne Enterprises is just reckless. It’s bad enough on its own, but when Harley starts physically threatening and putting her hands on his employees then good god he shouldn’t be letting this happen anymore. The whole thing is just irritating to watch.
Y’know, Bruce really oughta change up all of the secrets in his office if Penguin knows about them and is telling other criminals.
At this point Tiffany is just here to be an inconvenience.
I feel like they could have worked Matches Malone into this story, instead of having Bruce pretty much become a criminal.
Fries’ suit is pretty good. It’s missing the dome though, you can’t have Fries without his dome. His glove that can freeze things by touching them is neat, but I still prefer the gun. I also don’t really like his voice. His characterization’s good though.
Fries sounds like he’s voiced by the guy who voices Skullface. He isn’t.
I like Harley a lot more when she’s being more sincere instead of trying to be the most annoying person in the room.
Do... do we get to fuck Harley? I don’t know if I wanna fuck Harley. Or rather, I don’t know if I want Bruce to fuck Harley.
I don’t really like all the villains already being in full-on “villain mode” already. It seems like they just popped up out of nowhere, already established and organized. I wanna see how these people become supervillains, not just have them pop onto the scene in full costume, ready to start their life of crime. The only one who seems like he’s still in a sort of early stage is Joker, the one who would make the most sense to already be a full-on villain.
What’s the point in Bruce hiding his face during the heist if they’re going to call him by his name anyway?
Seeing Bruce try to reduce the deaths by beating up agents himself was cool.
Bruce seeing the Batsignal go up as he drives away with the villains, not able to do anything about it, is a good scene.
Interested to see what they do with Riddler’s dead body.
Hey look, Catwoman’s back.
Might add more when future episodes come out

I spent too much time trying to think of spec-bio for the Zora, because they just don't make any sense. Their life cycle looks like amphibians (soft egg with tadpole bodies to land-dwelling adult with legs), except they can live in sea water. In the downfall timeline they look more like alligators/swamp thing monsters and breathe fire. In the adult timeline they're related to birds (I spent a while trying to make them penguins but I wasn't happy with the result). In both the child timeline and BotW/TotK, they have aspects of all sorts of water creatures, including mammals!
Considering that they're associated with a fair amount of magic and venerate Nayru (her symbol shows up with them a lot and ohhhh we're gonna need to unpack the Hylia stature in their domain in BotW/TotK at some point) let's just say that at some point they were transformed by magic to survive in a inhospitable environment (hmmm, like the Twili...) and had their magic modified to refer to birds in the adult timeline (perhaps this was just the fresh water Zora, and there's a thriving salt water civilization of ocean Zora we never see).
Anyways, I love spec bio but I also love combining a bunch of different animals with people, and also making bad puns.
I figure guitarfish worked for Mikau because lol, pun. But also they have pretty impressive scales/denticles on their heads, and Mikau needs some strong scales to guard with his hands/fin like he does. I considered electric rays but they don't have anything like Mikau's shape. But at least they're also flattened cartilaginous fish. So maybe he's related to one. I dunno. Guitarfish hehehe.

Zora Link is a goblin shark because they both have cute noses. Mikau looked similar but he was a... guitarfish.

Pewdiepie vs T-Series
"Hai poodipie i am to be ur bigest fan in the wholest world, but u never recognize me, even when I subscribe to you when u were below 200 subs. i use to watch ur videos, ur minecraft hunger games series was always my favourite and I wuld always comment and like ur vids, but you never pinned me or sub to my channel Jimmy Jimmersin nor wuld u chec ot my club penguin rp vids, i delet em after craing for long time.... :( " recently a nutter utuber cam along, t-series.. I dislik them at first, but as tim passed on i finger something out.. The T in t-series stands for ten, and my brithday is n 1 minut- Hello pewdiepie, I am now ten years old, and I am no longer watching the brainnumbing sewage you call content any longer. I've since unsubscribed to your channel, no longer do your meme reviews entertain me or even catch a glimmer of my attention. Honestly it was my foolish nine year old brain that had compelled me to watch each and every single brutal second of every ylyl, meme review, and although it pains me to say you slav you lose.. Now I understand that this is inferior to the brilliant content that Ten series produces from the soul catching soap operas to the songs so beautiful that they make deaf people regain their hearing just to listen to the song, t series has made my iq rocket beyond infinity and 2. Truly it hurts to say this deep in my heart, but.. Goodbye pewdiepie maybe if you yelled at barrels more often things could've gone different but it is too late for that now..- Your ex biggest fan."
Felix put down the letter, it had become damp with the tears he shed while reading it. He looked up at his desktop, then closed the reddit window, and put down his camera. "What's the point.. Soon all my fans will be ten, and they'll see that my content is not as good as the brilliantly superior t-series.. How can I keep up with such an amazing content creator that puts so much heart and emotion into every ounce of their videos.." He said to himself in a trembly voice while hesitantly typing in the letter T in the youtube search bar. T series was of course on top of the search results, Felix stared at the emotionless black text on the search bar. He back out of it after half a minute, then went to his channel, where he hovered his mouse over the delete option. Eventually he brought himself to click it, but just before he could a golden mouse pushed his mouse away.
Felix fell back in his chair, and looked up at the desktop with shock. Rogan Paur (not logan paul, nor Japanese) was on his screen. "BRO BRO BRO WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO!????!!!??!" Rogan asked him while pointing his camcorder at the screen to post later. (I saved pewdiepie!! NOT CLICKBAIT!!!!) "I-I was going to delete my YouTube channel.." Felix said in a quiet voice, Rogan turned his camera to himself and gave it a shock expression before quickly turning it back to the screen. "Why would you do that bro!? Your content brings so much joy to so many people! You don't know how much you brighten people's days up with your videos bro!" Rogan told him while putting the camera right against the screen to better catch Felix's expression. "B-but my nine year old army is growing up to be ten.." Feliz said while looking down. "It doesn't matter if your turn ten or not! They'll become NINEteen! TwentyNINE- NINEty-NINE! point is they will always be nine in theit hearts! And they'll always be a part of the sister fister army!" Rogan shouted at him. Pewd's eyes lit up with hope. "You're right!" He replied as he sat up on his chair. Rogan put away his camera. "You can do it pewds! Beat t-series!" Rogan shouted one last time before cutting the video. "Ok, fuck you, I'm going to surpass you in subscribers someday!" Rogan told him, then disconnected the call.
"Rogan is right! I won't let T-series beat me! My army will always be nine! I have to stop them! But how do I do that!?" He shouted outloud. "Challenge them to a boxing match!" Marzia replied from another room. "YOU'RE RIGHT!" Pewds replied, then immediately uploaded a video challenging T-series to a boxing match. All the big names such as Gloria Boorger it on their unbias youtube channels.
Pewds trained by punching sixty six million three hundred twenty nine thousand and seventy five punches of gratitude in a day. By the time he was finished, he realized that it was still dau time. A grin came over his face, and he took over a random person's dojo by demonstrating a single punch that was sixty million times the speed of sound.
*2 days l8r*
Everyone was gathering in the massive arena the size of India, the row of pewdiepie fans was slowly shrinking as they turned ten, but this didn't discourage him. No, it did the opposite, this only made pewdiepie more confident in his skills. "They will always be nine in theit hearts.." Pewdiepie thought to himself with a small smile as he awaited in the far right corner of the square ring with closed eyes. "Hello! I am John Smith! How can I help you today?" A man with a thick indian accent spoke to him. Pewds opened his eyes to see 1.324 billion Indians with T-series logo on their face standing in the arena. "SKRATTA DU FLÖRlAR DU" Pewds shouted, then the bell rang anf it was time to fight.
"THIS IS EVERYTHING I HAVE!" Pewdiepie screamed as he charged into the horde that is India's population, they charged toward him as well. Within a matter of seconds he had defeated a million indiands, but their numbers made tidal waves of humans that crashed him, trying to drown out his voice. BUT HIS VOICE WAS A VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. "BARRELS!' Pewdiepie screamed at the top of his lungs, which caused millions of indians to be blasted away. Leaving a massive gap in the center of the boxing arena, with pewdiepie being the only person in it, his eyes glew a bright, silver color representing the subscribed button. "It doesn't matter if I am demonitized or not. If I am the smallest youtuber or the biggest youtuber, I'll always enjoy creating the content that I desire to make and my subscribers will respect that decision. Can you say the same T-series?" He asked them as the gap between them was closed by the flood.
His ex-biggest fan Jimmy Jimmerson, entered the arena with a leash wrapped around his neck, he was being pulled into the stage by John Smith who had escaped the battle zone before the bell rang. "Why'd you bring me here..?" Jimmy asked John, John grinned beneath his T-series logo mask. "So that you could see the fool's final moments of course." John replied, Jimmy looked tiredly at the arena to see that the entire population of india was being held back by pewds with little trouble. This returned a small glimmer of hope in his eyes. "P-pewds?" He said out loud, then john pulled on the leash on his neck. "OW!" he cried out in pain as infomercials for bollywoods latest movie was shoved down his throat.
Pewds leaped twenty feet into the air, a red aura surrounding his body. "Serious serious: Fifty million subscriber red ruby punch!" He shouted, then a flury of millions of ruby fist shot out his body, knocking out the majority of indias population and turning them into nine years olds. He landed, there was still a few hundred indians that hadn't been converted, they ran toward him while spamming his phone with scam calls. Pewds clapped his hands together. "You laugh. You LOSE!" A golden wave of energy shot out his body and finished the remaining indians.
"Hehehe.. I did it." Prwdiepie laughed to himself as he powered down, then suddenly John Smith landed on the arena. "Not exactly." His indian accent became thicker and deeper as he grew into a massive beast, his whole body taking the shape of a t pose. "We are still have the most subscribers gain." John laughed with a thick accent. Pewds looked over his shoulder to see Jimmy sitting in the edge of the arena with his arm stretched out to him. "JIMMy!" Pewds shouted as he dashed toward him, but John got in between them. "NOT SO FAST!" John shouted as he knocked back pewds.
Pewds hit the floor with enough force to cause the world to rumble a bit. "Agh.. He's strong.." Pewds muttered to himself as he looked up at the t posing monster known as John T Series White, but pewds shook his head. "Remember what rogan paur told us!" He reminded himself as he stood back up, but his heart still felt empty he turned to Jimmy. "JIMMY! I've got to know! Will you subscribe to me again!?" Pewds shouted with anguish in his voice. Tears broke free from Jimmy's eyes as he looked at pewdiepie in the eye. "O-of course!" He cried out.
Pewdiepie wiped away any doubt he had left. "It doesn't matter if you have more subscribers than me or not T-series.. My subscribers love me, and although I don't say it often I appreciate them all." Pewds said with a warm grin. "WHAT!? LOVE!? APPRECIATE!? THAT IS WHAT A LOSER TELLS HIMSELF TO MAKE HIMSELF FEEL BETTER YOU'RE EITHER NUMBER ONE OR YOU'RE NOTHING!" JOHN YELLED ANGRILY IN A WEAKENING ACCENT AS HE DASHED TOWARD PEWDIEPIE. He swung his arm at him, but pewdiepie stopped it with a single hand. "No. It's what separates us youtubers from the cold corporation trying to take over our creative flow." Pewdiepie told him, then pushed back John a hundred or so feet with a single tap
NO! NO! NO!" John yelled out, then charged toward pewdiepie once again. But this time Felix leaped over John's arm. "I'm an individual. Not a business." Felix told him just before he unleashed several billion bro fist at John, most of which landed perfectly, but John was able to block the last few thousands. "See!? I'm already adapting to your new power!" Johny barked back as he swung his right arm st Pewds, only for it to be yeeted away. "You'll never be as appreciated as I or other youtubers who make content to entertain people, not to make money off them!" Pewds struck John across the face with a powerful right hook, stumbling him back a bit! But John replied by slamming his head into pewdiepie's gut with enough force to throw him back. "YOU ARE IN IT FOR THE MONEY! WHICH IS WHY YOU SELL MERCH!" John yelled as pewdiepie rolled backwards through the ring.
Pewds hit the opposite side of the ring, and let out a small chuckle. "My fans buy my merch, not because I trick them into it. But because they want to show their love for me and my content!" Pewds shouted, which caused John to take a step back. "BUT YOU SALE AN OVER PRICE CHAIIRRRR!" John yelled as he struggled to stand back up. Once again pewds let out a small chuckle. "It's a meme you dip!" He told John while charging up a yellow energy sphere which represented demonitazation in between his hands. "No! Please no! You can't stop me from becoming number one!" John yelled at him. "Maybe so. But I can show you what true spirit is! Ultimate attack: ORIGINAL CONTENT!" Both Felix and pewdiepie fired a powerful energywave at John. "INDIAN MEDIA!" John replied as he fired back an equally large green wave.
"S-shoot!" Felix thought to himself as he felt his wave being pushed back by John, who was slowly getting back up to his feet as T-series gained another million subscribers. "In the end it doesn't matter what one person says! No matter how influential they're! The media will always win! And I am the media!" John yelled as his beam grew larger. "graerggh!" Pewdiepie yelled out as his beam was pushed back. "Ha! I knew you were weaker than my chin." Leafyishere's voice came over his shoulder, then a black beam was fired alongside Pewd's yellow beam. "L-leafy you came back!?" Pewds looked at him. "Not just me!" He replied, pewds turned to his right to see fiber jesus, the two men that did that one thing for five dollars, jackspedicy, the E guy, Idubbs, joji, ethan and hila, Xyaro/doggo,Naggz21,team fourstar, Charleston vo (Death note abridge), and most importantly his predecessor FREDDDD! no jk the entire youtube community! Together they unleashed a massive rainbow wave which overwhelmed The mainstream media!
In the end John was left laying on the cold floor coughing. "Pewdiepie.." He called out his name in a weak voice. "Yes?" Felix asked as he walked up to John.. "I just wanted to be like you.. Entertain millions of people by doing what I loved, but in the end my greed blinded me.. I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry." John cried, pewdiepie kneeled besides him. "It's fine. As long as you promise to better yourself, you could always do what you love.." Felix told him in a soft voice. "You're right.. I guess I'll try it.. I've always wanted to teach others how to cook traditional Indians meals.. I'm thirty-nine.." John told him in a soft tone. Felix smiled and fist bumped him. "Sister fister." They said to each other.. "Wait Pewds.. I've got a favour to ask.." John told him. "What would that be?" He looked down at him. "Get Jimmy Jimmerson to twenty subscribers with no videos."john told him then passed out. "Of course.."

Have you ever heard of Chinstrap Penguins?
On volcanic island of Zavodovski, in the South Sandwich islands off the coast of South Georgia island, approximately 2 million chinstrap penguins thrive in what is the most expansive and populated penguin colony in the world. Just one of the 17 different species of penguin that exist, these small flightless birds live terribly arduous lives – lives which most of us can only imagine going through.
Tumblr media
These penguins are easily identified by the thin, strap-like line on the underside of their heads. As it is the one unique feature of this particular species, it also serves as its namesake. Unlike the tall emperor penguins, the average height of chinstrap penguins is 68 – 27 inches. Feeding almost exclusively on krill, crustaceans and fish, these carnivorous birds must use their spectacular diving skills to hunt in the ocean every day. However, for the penguins who dwell on Zavodovski island, the journey to the sea that they must make is especially deadly.
Tumblr media
Stormy seas and steep cliffs surround this island on all sides, and huge, powerful waves constantly smash penguins into the jagged rocks. Risking their lives, the penguins dive into the surf from the slippery slopes. Many lose their footing. Perfect timing is crucial to their survival, and there are no second chances. They fish 50 miles offshore, and must brave the cruel waves and vicious predators in order to feed their young. The trek back is also fatiguing – they have to ride the waves and propel themselves up the cliffs. Tiny claws help them to grip the rocks and grab hold so that they can climb out of the raging ocean. There is no guarantee that they will emerge from the din unscathed; broken limbs and excruciating cuts are inevitable, but death is the most tragic casualty – death for them means death for their family, who are relying heavily on them to return with the food. The hike back to the nest can be up to 2 miles, and the difficulty increases with a stomach full of prey. Once they have returned to their nests, it's their mate's turn to embark on this long commute - each penguin has to suffer through this exhausting journey every other day or their mate and chicks will die.
Tumblr media
It is a truly remarkable journey that the chinstrap penguins must fight through, but unless we do something about it, feeding their families won't be the only thing threatening them. These birds go through such lengths to survive, and we should respect that instead of tearing them down. We should work hard to stop polluting oceans and overfishing, as penguins literally have no other food source apart from the fish that they hunt - their island is hostile and unforgiving, and it is a wonder in itself how these penguins manage to survive there.
Tumblr media
Although it is true that right now, the conservation status of these penguins is “Least Concern”, we must fight hard to protect these animals no matter what. If we become complacent and neglect them, sooner or later, we will wake up one day to discover that chinstrap penguins no longer exist. However, that is not to say that we shouldn't divert attention from animals who are in dire danger of extinction – we should simply acknowledge that the chinstrap penguin is another valuable species that must be loved and protected, lest we make the same mistake that we have made so many times in the past.
Tumblr media
In conclusion, the chinstrap penguin is just one of the many, many beautiful animals on this Earth. All creatures and animals are equal, and each species is unique in their own special way. Just like us humans, they live, breathe, eat, love, and die. Everything that is alive should be cherished, no matter what shape or size, no matter mammal or reptile, no matter plant or insect. In all honesty, the only feature that distinguishes us from the myriad of creatures that too call this blue plant their home is merely our species and the fact that we can make a difference. All that the human race really strives to do is to live another day – just like the chinstrap penguins.
Chinstrap penguins are hella cute and I wanted to share ^^ wrote this for science hw hehehe, i hope you learned something new through reading it :^)
