"Then you should take care of it now, before it gets worse."

"You're pulling it out. Doesn't that hurt?" Ibara starts to lean closer, but stops himself, fidgeting in place instead.

"I know how to be gentle. Besides... it is a task I find enjoyable." After all, there was something novel about it, wasn't there? The softness of normal hair seemed so alien, it was fun to marvel at. He cant imagine why anyone even would want to lapse in doing so routinely, but if Sero was busy...

@adhesive-king ; its sero's birthday , happy birthday homie !!

The clock had just struck midnight. The day now the 28th of June. Which, to Denki, is an incredibly important day... as its his best pal Sero's birthday! With eyes incredibly wide and a brain that goes at millions of miles per hour, Denki was sat straight up in his bed. Energy drink in one hand (which he probably shouldn't be drinking) and his slightly cracked phone in his other.

➜ FROM PIKACHU:  𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘥𝘶𝘥𝘦 , 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯 5 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘴

Grabbing his shirt he messily dressed himself, chucked the empty monster can into the bin and slammed open his door- without thinking, no thoughts about his classmates who were trying to sleep. Surely some of them would be up anyway- so who cares! Plus, it's Sero's birthday right now and that's what matters.

Just as he was about to get to the end of the corridor he realised he forgot the key part of his surprise for Sero. He quickly dashed back to his room, grabbed the surprise and ran the fastest he has ever ran his entire life. Plenty of gasps for breath and multiple pants for air as his figure leaned against Sero's door.

"Sero! My dude, open the door- right now!" Rapid knocks, an unusual amount of knocks (however, for Denki it could be considered a normal amount) made the door shake as Denki shouted for his friend to open the door. Whether he was asleep or not, Denki didn't care- its his birthday! He should be awake and celebrating. Not sleeping. "I got you a present! You gotta open it- you're gonna love it!"

Readied up, Denki held the party popped in his hand with the little string in his other. Mentally preparing himself for when the birthday boy opens the door. Yet.. perhaps it should be Sero preparing himself. With Denki stood behind his door- shaking from the excitement of popping the party device in his hands.

You ever just chilling and a human literally falls from the ceiling? Well that's happening to Midoriya right now. And in Hanta's case, he's the one falling. He stops short, connected to a piece of tape wrapped around his stomach, his cheeky triangle grin upside down. "Happy birthday, Midoriya!" He's holding a box in one hand and shakes it a little before hurriedly trying to put it into Izuku's hands. "Open it!" Inside is a small collection of hero themed enamel pins, the largest of the group being, of course, All Might.

@adhesive-king 💚

eeep !!

he lets out a squeak, arms coming up to protect his face cause him to drop the notebook and pen he'd been holding in his hands. he really does need to get better at the whole, not gettin' spooked by every little thing-thing.

izuku lowers his arms only once he hears the sound of sero's warm honeyed voice, which works to bring him back to the present moment —

and lo an' behold, now there's a present !!

he reaches up to take the box and follows the hangin' hero's command immediately! excited but careful hands open the box and he is stunned !! eyes wide and glimmering, as if he's lookin' into a pot of gold ..

whoops! now he's crying.

"oh w-wow s.. sero."

he says, shaky pinched fingers plucking the all might pin and holding it before the two as big hot tears keep their flow, but there is no erasing the wide smile that has found a permanent fixture 'pon a freckled face.

"these — these are amazing! th-thank you!"

"please take one."

it'll be our friendship bracelet..

He’d been too focused on his rambling again. How could he not be?! Izuku was busy telling his classmates all about the newest All Might Figure he’d managed to get his hands on! Sure, it would be a while before production, and even longer until he had the figure, but he was just so excited! He’s going to ignore the very valid point that All Might was quite simply their teacher, and he could probably just ask the hero for it - but he wouldn’t use that! He wanted to get it fair and square, like everyone else!

“So I ended up staying awake until about two in the morning to make sure I got it, but then-“ He’s so caught up, he ends up catching his foot as he walks along. Izuku is pretty confident that he’s about to hit the pavement, but thankfully, his fall was stopped. He’s blushing a tad, embarrassment creeping on his face in the form of pink rushing to his cheeks. “Thanks for the catch, Sero-kun…” At least the endless ramble about All Might merchandise has died down for the moment?

"Oh, so I was close."

Despite not currently having any, her head tilts in a way that indicates a shrugging of shoulders, rather nonplussed both by Sero pushing her away and by his response to her question.

"Don't take it personally. It's not like I hear you getting referred to by name all the time, or anything. You should be glad I'm not calling you soy-sauce-face." Like a certain someone.

"I remember you almost blowing me up that one time. Pretty slick move. That was your tape, right? Color me impressed."

@adhesive-king asked: "❝ you don’t still have a concussion or something you haven’t told me about, do you? ❞ sillies for tokoyami"

From: Invincible Show Meme || Accepting!

There was a blink. Then a second blink. Followed by a third blink. Was Hanta being serious about that? Legit while Tokoyami was still sitting in a hospital bed? Surely he knew better than to ask something like that, right? Like... Tokoyami wasn't going crazy and his mind wasn't playing tricks on him or anything, was it? Well, ok, that could have been possible depending on the injury and everything but as far as Tokoyami could tell... there wasn't anything seriously wrong.

Tokoyami gave a grumble for a moment or two as he rubbed the back of his neck and glanced from Hanta and out the window to the parks below. Oh how he wanted to be out there instead of being stuck inside a hospital room. But, he didn't exactly have a choice, not after... Wait... Why was he there?

Tokoyami's attention turned back to Hanta and an eyebrow raised as began going back through the events that he could remember. What exactly had happened recently? Was there a villain attack? Had he gotten injured during training? There were so many possibilities that could have been possible that he didn't know for sure what they were.

That was... until he reached up to rub part of his feathers. There was a serious flinch from Tokoyami as he felt it, which confirmed his suspicions... part of his feathers... had been burned and seared off.

❝Hanta, I want you to be serious with me for a moment...❞ he remarked softly as his eyes seemed to glare into Hanta's soul, ❝The war is over... isn't it? The one against... All For One?❞

Something about asking that last part made his breath hitch in his throat and Tokoyami could barely keep his emotions back. So many memories were now flooding back to him, him using Dark Shadow to try and fight All For One, to try and stop him from attacking his friends, his mentor, the other heroes... What happened soon after, was his vision fading as he heard someone call out to him. Only to know now that he was in the hospital. And it became apparent what other injuries there were.

At this point... Tokoyami had brushed off the joke question completely. He wanted to have serious answers.

❝What happened after I blacked out?❞ he asked softly as he began to check his arms and winced at some of the wounds that were there. The feeling of burn marks and other injuries running through his body made it apparent that this was not an easy recovery process. His eyes moved from his injuries back to Hanta as they became clouded with a mixture of anger, grief, and care for someone. Someone Tokoyami had gotten to know quite well...

" yeah, yeah.. i know its just a scratch. "

he says while dabbing at the skin of sero's shin with a disinfecting wipe ( a hero is always prepared ! ).

" but it's always best to take care of these things quickly, right ? "

and there goes a smile, wide and earnest and much too bright considering the situation they currently find themselves in / steady hand now moving to place a band-aid on the scrape, making sure its sticky and secure by running his thumb over it maybe just a little more than was necessary.

" there, all better. "

LN Channel Change AU Sequel: “Seven” {1} {2} {3} {here/final}

And they lived happily ever after. Or did they? We've established our main characters Mono (TV/space-time) and Six (Soul Sucking) have strange supernatural powers. I wanted Seven to have one too. (Hydrokinesis aka water bending)

Notes for how I came up with Seven's powers and the deeper meaning behind his interaction with Mono:

1. Each child has nightmare prophecies (something to do with Mono's time loop?)  at the beginning of their stories. Six's is the Lady, Mono's is the door that leads to the Thin Man, and Seven's is being pulled underwater. Six and Mono's nightmare visions are fulfilled at the end of their stories; revealing that the thing they dreamed about, they essentially become or usurp.  Seven's differs. His dream resolves in act 1 and he kills the Granny, the creature assumed to be the one pulling him underwater in his nightmare. But what if Seven's dream prophecy was still valid... even post-Granny? Being dragged underwater... for a different fate?

2. Seven is the only main cast character shown with the ability to swim. 3. "Seven Seas" anyone? Water is a symbol of purification & life, hence, Seven gains his new powers after he survived and Mono broke the timeline loop to start fresh. "Washing it away" so to say. 4. Water is a liquid; passive in nature, but powerful in circumstance. Seven is kind and sneaky but kills the Granny when continuously attacked and threatened by her. He does the same to the Octopus monster.

5. Water molecules have adhesion and cohesion, meaning water likes to stick to itself, and stick to other things. Seven has an attachment to Nomes. He is always drawn to other people and other creatures, wanting to help them. His belief is that survival chances are higher amidst a group. Water is also known for containing life, no matter how strange or deep, such as ocean fish that often travel in schools/packs often to confuse or fight off predators, thus, another reference to Seven's new life, and his teamwork with Nomes and Mono.

6. Seven is often in fandom depicted by a circle. A water droplet. 7. Seven collects flotsam; typically boat debris, but in this case, bottled messages that come from the sea. Yet another connection to water.

All this indicates heavy implication and well-fitting power to bestow hydrokinesis onto Seven. I was inspired by the INSIDE game's drowning chapter and Stanley and Stanford's secret boat hide-out on the beach from Gravity Falls. Which is why I have selected Mono, Seven, and all their future friends to a lovely and sunny (future) beach house, far away from everything they've suffered. And living near the largest body of water on the planet with a kid with hydrokinesis? ...Certainly has its perks!

But Seven gaining powers is important to not only their survival but also him. He was still nervous about Mono. He knew Mono was very powerful and mysterious. In more ways than one. Mono is stronger than him and can also use telekinesis on objects on the beach. He's a better food hunter and seems more like a leader. Seven also likes to lead, but he felt outshined by Mono. (I don't portray that well in my comic) Seven is weaker and defenseless. His only shining quality in comparison is his ability to swim, but even that can only get him so far. He risks his life for his Nome friends and loses his life doing so. Or so he thought. By a miracle, his powers over water awaken. He drains the monster of its water, beaching it. He walks to Mono in a new light. It's a new him. He holds up his hands as if to say "See? I'm like you now." He's leveled the playing field. (It also helps that he now has jurisdiction over power Mono cannot interact with) Now they are truly equal. Two kings; one of land, one of sea, both ruling the island in equal standing. Seven will never again feel like a burden left behind. (Seven's powers activating also has something to do with the fact he bit the Octopus creature to save the Nome. Mono and Six both consume their powerful prophesized enemies to gain some of their power, if they didn't already have some before. Seven biting into the Octopus's flesh and unknowingly consuming some of it may have jumpstarted his power deep within him, on top of him encountering Mono; supernatural kid extraordinaire that brought him through a tower wormhole to escape the city)

A threequel is planned, and maybe the last addition to this series, but the next one is not fully fleshed out yet so it may be another year until I can really touch upon it yet. Otherwise, hope you guys enjoyed!

[despondentnuzzy]

Last few weeks I've been thinking a lot about bridges in the Stormlight Archives. What they meant, what their role is and I just wanna ramble analyze again so here we go.

Bridges ARE forces of Unity and conduits of Honor. In the series I argue there is no tighter knit group, no greater camaraderie than Bridge 4. And speaking of, my mind is going to start there and with Kaladin in TWOK.

Kaladin, in his first perspective chapter, internally monologues "Honor is Dead". In the part 1 the place Kaladin and the bridgemen before him go to end their lives is called "The Honor Chasm", and when Kaladin goes right after the end of a highstorm, a fall to ones death into a large body of water invokes a lot of jumping off of bridges imagery to me.

The souls of the bridgemen, like Honor, are shattered. But we see Kaladin reforge them anew in the Chasms. It is there that they really begin to feel unity, to have shared purpose and goals. Honor is their shield, literally so with the bridge and their Side Carry. Together the broken men of Bridge 4 return from despair and helplessness to become something greater.

Their bridge, saving their lives, acting as their shield and bond then becomes the lone piece that connects Kaladin and Dalinar. In his visions the almighty tells Dalinar "Act with Honor and Honor will aid you." AND WOW THAT BRIDGE SURE DOES SAVE HIM.

Not to mention the fact that Dalinar is a living bridge between the realms, consistently "bridges the gap" between peoples and cultures in founding the coalition of Kings in Oathbringer. That bridges themselves so easily can be interpreted as THE Journey BETWEEN Destinations. But if you want one piece of lore that I think shows this as well. The shared sure of Bondsmiths and Windrunners is that of "Adhesion". Dubbed Honors truest surge, the one only of him. The surge that CONNECTS TOGETHER.

I swear I am struggling to properly convey how much this makes my brain tingle but so many elements of both how the Honor and Unity are represented in this book have such strong ties to the way bridges and those who tend to them are showcased. Please tell me I am not the only one seeing this or I will go insane. I feel like I need to make a dozen more posts about this for it to stop rotating in my skull

Hanta hasn't left his room in a while. He doesn't know how long. Days, minutes, weeks, hours, seconds. It doesn't matter. It's felt nothing but numb and like he was constantly riding a wave of nausea that wracked his whole body. He's stopped crying, most of the time, at least. He feels bad about that too. Even when his whole body seizes with dry sobs and quiet screams of anguish, he can't muster any more tears. What kind of friend was he? To not cry over a life lost? It makes him sick to be in his own skin, like he was a traitor.

And he was. He was. He's said it to himself over and over. He was a traitor to Yuga. He had been so caught up and focused on the others and the battle, he hadn't even went to check on his friend. His fucking friend. And it just brings another silent sob up his throat that chokes him with emotion. The guilt trying it damndest to make him pay. When he closes his eyes. He sees that shock of brilliant sunshine hair, the dazzling smile, the eyes full of life and mirth turned to nothing.

He sees Yuga, his friend, a person he had loved. Gone. Nothing more than a casualty. A number. A body he had seen with his own two eyes.

"I'm sorry." It breaks past his lips, the first coherent words he's said since he had locked himself in his room. His throat scratches at the pain of disuse. "I'm sorry Yuga. I'm sorry. I miss you."
