In other news, does this remind me of something? Yes, yes it does. "This is a story about love."

How did pepper jack learn to fly and what relationship does he have with the other ancients and beasts ?

MORE QUESTIONS HIHI <3

Golden Cheese did most of the work. High Priest Cheesenbird + the other cheesebirds showed/explained what they could, but it all made more sense coming from his mother (a fellow winged person, not just a regular bird) than anyone else. She started teaching him when he was very young (just waited for him to master walking first haha), primarily by having him jump down from ledges or such elevated places and try to catch the wind with his wings as he fell. Very small and short jumps until he got comfortable with them, then bigger ones, then bigger ones, until he was swan diving off of buildings... Eventually he became a master of flight just like she is. It really is as easy as breathing to him now. (He was scared of falling and hurting himself at first, (which he did a few times, it was inevitable. But GC was always there to supervise and help when needed), but he was nevertheless a quick learner.)

Not that Papa didn't try to do anything, though.

Burning Spice could never do much because he doesn't have wings of his own. He's grounded. What he figured he could do to help is have Pepper Jack try to fly up and perch on his arm/shoulder on command. Make him exercise his wing muscles by having him lift himself off the ground. Rising instead of falling. (He first thought of chucking Jack off the roof and having him fly back up from all the way down there, but GC threatened him with divorce (violence wasn't a good enough threat, he's used to that) if he threw their baby boy from the roof of the palace, so he reworked the concept into something less... unfortunate.)

He actually did start doing that when Jack was older and already a fully competent flier. They do it for fun. Spice picks Jack up and throws him as hard and fast and far as he can, from the highest floor of the tallest building around, and Jack flies all the way back to him. Then Spice picks him up and does it again. They just call it playing "boomerang". GC doesn't understand the appeal, but as long as Jack can handle himself and doesn't get hurt (which was her one concern honestly)...

As for the second half of your question... I want to answer it more fully (read: with more doodles) in another post, but to give the short version: Jack gets along well with the other Ancients and (former) Beasts. He loves his aunts and uncles very much. (But... he secretly favors Dark Cacao + Shadow Milk and Silent Salt. Not by too big of a margin though. Shhhh)

You guys don't understand how abnormal this new breed is going to make me. Like even putting aside that they're fat little grubs, which means everything to me for biased reasons (I am an entomologist), this fits my headcanons for Arcane v. Light dynamics so. So hard. I'd always interpreted Arcane and Light as not particularly getting along because their search for knowledge takes them in opposite directions, with Light looking to the past/history and Arcane looking to the future/beyond.

And now. Now the ancients for both reflect that. Arcane's ancient is Aethers, moths that were sent into space to search the cosmos. And now Light's ancients are Everlux, caterpillars still cocooned in old books.

I'm sooo. Normal. I'm so unbelievably normal. I need to make an Aether + Everlux duo that hate each other sooo bad.

Thinking about the whole...

"Midoriya is actually the possessive, jealous one!"

"Actually, it's Bakugou."

Frankly, in my very humble opinion (I mean like very humble), they're both possessive and/or jealous. Just in different ways, sort of.

Like, Midoriya is the type that is protective to where it is possessive. People can talk and fawn over Bakugou all day, he is not batting a lash. Bakugou having other friends? Midoriya is not bothered (like, come on).

But hurt Bakugou? It's on a "you hurt the person I care about" way. That's his trigger (*points to canon*). He gets violent, but towards those who have hurt Bakugou.

Bakugou though? He's the possessive-possessive. Like, "I revolve around you and you revolve around me" kind of possessive. He will (and has) eavesdrop on conversations Midoriya has with other people. Wants to be rivals for the rest of their lives and invest most into making Midoriya's hero suit. Freely declared himself Kacchan Bakugo.

(Fitting that he does in one of his heroic moments. Reminds me of Midoriya chose to go with Deku for his hero name. And before anyone goes "Well, Uraraka---" Let's remember who gave Midoriya that nickname and he could have easily chose a different name even after her suggesting it. If anything, that's like an unintentional shipper on deck moment.)

Some of his thoughts be about Midoriya. (I said some because you cannot tell me he doesn't think about, like different hot sauces or something.)

You know what, I would say they're both the kinds of possessive, but each lean towards the other kind just a little more. And maybe it even alternates!

I just don't think only one of them is possessive.

And I don't think either one is more possessive than the other.

I think, again just my humble opinion, that Midoriya and Bakugou aren't ones to be possessive all the time and have a limit to how possessive they'll go.

(Thinking about the nicknames again. Neither verbally expressed dislike towards anyone else using the nicknames.)

They're definitely going to think and feel however for the other because they've always been in each other's lives. However, it's not to the point that they're incapable of giving each other breathing room and they're able to live as their individual. Of course, they're attached to the hip but not stitched together.

The way people get so weird about Shadria makes me wanna scream. What do you mean "well in CANON they're [insert label] and they CANONICALLY don't see each other romantically so it's weird and you can't ship it!!" My sibling in Christ, Sonadow is the most popular ship in this fandom. Y'all don't gaf about canon 💀

People will preach about not letting canon shackle your shipping experience in fandoms until it's a ship they don't like or deem "problematic" then all of a sudden the canon relationship status matters and shipping it now means that you think it's canon. But the same rules don't apply to other non canon ships. Just say you personally don't like it and pick a lane for goodness' sake.
