[cipheramnesia]

The Dungeon Meshi character I think about the most, not love the most but think about most, is Chilchuck. He is much more Some Guy than anyone else, he's got a wife and kids and he's gonna open a store. He's a little dude with sharp senses who knows about locks and traps, and it's all very straightforward compared to like, really anyone else in the manga.

But why I'm fascinated is that his whole core essence revolves around organization and function, around safety not in the sense of cowardice or excess caution, but in the sense of a deeply rooted belief that everyone deserves to live and everything has a place. One day he'll open a shop and retire but right now his people are being exploited and he needs to plan for his future, so he's unionizing half foots and reducing risk and that functions for society because it's dumb using the guy watching your back as bait. It's a broken system he has to fix.

And it's like that with Laios and Senshi and Marcille and Falin. Falin dies, it's a broken system, she was a vital component that kept the group healthy. Eating monsters departs from the system, it's wrong to him, but then he figures out how Senshi has created a new system with better survivability. Senshi interrupts his trap hunting and he goes ballistic because that's not how the system survives. Itzutsumi drives him bonkers because she refuses to be a part of his system. Laios' lack of people skills frustrates him because Laios' charisma has made him a leader. A leader needs to know how to see how people feel, and Laios can't do that.

I think a lot about how his approach and personality are so nicely interwoven with his skill at traps and exploration. Everyone else has big weird personalities, but Chilchuck, well he's not a cool head per se, but his weirdness is less grandiose. He's a puzzle guy, a problem solver, and everyone around him is a moving part he's trying figure out. People ditch the party early on and he's not bothered because that's mechanically sound. Laios and Marcille go back and he has to come too because they're more than friends, they're a part of something that works and survives and even missing a part, he knows he can keep this little machine running. But they won't thrive without him, and he won't work as well alone.

Some of the best Astrology placements to have (in my opinion)

Aries Sun

This is one of the best planetary exaltations to have imo. Especially Ashwini Sun. These natives are just effortlessly magnetic, confident and popular. While everyone else is trying hard to force, craft and perform their personality , Aries suns are just the “it” girl without trying.

Jupiter in the 10th house

This is a magical placement I swear. These natives always have great reputation no matter what. It’s impossible to “cancel” them. They tend to make a lot of money from the career they are in. Especially more than their peers. They’ll start a business and gain relatively “instant” success with it., so their peers are often jealous of how quickly they achieve things. They tend to rise to be one of the top prominent figures in their industry.

Moon in the 9th house

Moon truly thrives here. Especially without any hard aspects. These natives are emotionally balanced and have this comforting vibe about them. They just seem so trustworthy and pure hearted, and usually they are. They have a good understanding of the functionings of the spiritual world and they make good teachers/ advisors/ gurus bc of this.

Taurus 8th house

Lottery ticket placement. These natives profit in relationships and excel in business. They usually marry wealthy without much effort. They gain so much wealth through other people, and make good business people too. I’d consider this a major wealth placement.

Libra Ascendant

In the chart of Libra Asc they have their 11th house in Leo, ruled by the Sun. 11th house is gains and wish fulfillment, so in their life their manifestations always come true. It’s basically their destiny. They’re very lucky naturally and seemingly always profit from the situations they’re in. They are popular and well known through their reputation. Their fame is long lasting.

Saturn in the 3rd house

Saturn does well in the air houses: 3,7,11. But I’ve seen that he reallly thrives in the 3rd house. Natives with this placement are problem solvers and never let adversity hold them down too long. Where Saturn usually stagnates in other houses, in the 3rd house he applies wisdom towards success. In the charts of successful entrepreneurs, a lot of them have this placement.

The Briede persona chart explains your natal Briede asteroid (19029) placements with more depth. If you are interested in women, it tells you about your wife ; usually their character going into & after marriage but still shows what their character is like in general. In a woman's chart, it tells them about themselves as a wife/after marriage. In this post specifically, I'll be analysing my own briede persona chart. Meant to be used as a guide and also my own theory based on observations. A prediction.

Briede Masterlist coming soon...

☆ Reminder: often times certain characteristics of your spouse/yourself will be seen through your perspective in the Briede (19029) & Groom (5129) persona chart. After all, it is still your chart.

Rising

Libra (°26 Taurus)

I'll appear very approachable and reasonable. Generally seeming very friendly and open minded. I will put a lot of effort into my appearance, making sure I look presentable at all times. Finding comfort in how I look. People will notice me for my calm and down to earth demeanor, as well as dressing in a way that complements my appearance.

Planets

Sun in the 7th house, Taurus (°19 Libra)

I'll be very focused on the marriage & relationship. Being somewhat of a peacemaker and the problem solver, decision maker, planner and adviser.

Mercury in the 7th house, Aries (°26 Taurus)

I'll be more stern when it comes to making decisions, often being the first to address any issue that may arise in the relationship. I'll accept compromises as long as they are fair and justifiable to both me and my partner. When it comes to communication, I will take the lead. It gives me the impression that I'll be the one going through family decisions. In charge of making the final call.

Mars in the 5th house, Pisces (°6 Virgo)

After marriage, I will shift a lot of my time and energy into creativity and artistic projects. It's still work, but I will be very passionate about it. Working on something I truly believe in wholeheartedly. Seems like I will have a lot more time on my hands to do what I really like, or for some reason I will naturally be more drawn to my roots.

Moon in the 8th house, Gemini (°13 Aries)

I might be a little fussy and get overly attached to certain things after marriage. Being very obsessed with my own thoughts and worldview. I'll be somewhat clingy and protective over my spouse & family as well. Overthinking a lot about very random things. I will not be able to hide my thoughts, mood & emotional distress. I might grow to be very cautious or paranoid as well when put under pressure. But on a regular day, my thoughts function very well (i.e mercury in the 7th house).

Being a wife will add more complexity to the way that I naturally process my emotions. Having to think more and control my impulses.

Venus in the 8th house, Gemini (° 0)

My love life will be something that changes me deeply. It will open a lot of doors for me, test my creativity, & force me to try new things (Gemini). Teaching me to love wholeheartedly but at the same time be able to let loose & release control.

I've been reading into vedic astrology lately. And a lot of it really aligns to what I've been analysing in my western charts as well. I have Rahu in the 1st house & ketu in the 7th. Meaning that in order to feel complete in this life, I must focus on myself & my ambitions. To let go of control over matters relating to my spouse and relationships, accepting it as it comes (ketu in the 7th house).

The 7th house however, is a house of desire. It's natural to have a strong pull or curiosity concerning matters of the 3rd/7th/11th house. In my case, the more I try to manipulate or control the fire, the more severely I am burnt. The lesson here is to let go & love without the need to be obsessed.

Jupiter retrograde in the 12th house, Libra (°9 Sagittarius)

Years after the marriage, there is this sense of clarity that I may gain from being around my FS, our friends & family. Feeling this sense of contentment. Suddenly everything will make sense, and the dots are connected. This is something I'll likely keep to myself for the most part. What really shines here is inner contentment with my own growth and directions. Marriage life seems to have a calming effect on me.

Saturn in the 9th house, Cancer (°22 Capricorn)

My studies could be hindered by my marriage life. Changing my initial plans to pursue some form of education or a different career path. This is something that may not go that well with my parents at first (they insist that I go through masters & PhD as well in the current path I'm taking). I may have to make a tough choice regarding this in the future. Naturally, I may find myself maturing with family life and catering more towards my husband and children.

Neptune in the 4th house, Aquarius (°17 Leo)

Neptune can symbolize one's greatest motivation or ideals in marriage but also how they may relax or unwind, lessons that I could learn after marriage. In my case, it seems that I'll be taught how to truly let my imagination run wild. Finally being given the opportunity to nurture the dorky animated version of myself. Also means living away from my parents or birth place. Home will be a safe space for me to be myself with my spouse and family.

Pluto retrograde in the 2nd house, Sagittarius (°24 Pisces)

Money. Money is... Well, I might feel rather guilty about money at first. Compared to my FS, I won't be able to support him the way that he does me financially i.e I won't be much help at first (I have Jupiter in Libra in the 2nd house in my Groom persona chart, this man does not need me for money lmao). This is something I might try to solve myself or hide from him so I don't become a burden, even if he does want to help it just doesn't feel right to be fully dependent on him financially. I'll still long for financial independence. My financial situation will also change going into marriage.

Uranus in the 5th house, Pisces (°10 Capricorn)

Shifting careers. Taking on a lot of new responsibilities, taking part in more important events, trying new things, gaining new interest. Making a career out of a passion project. Taking more creative liberty in my career. Having a lot of fun at home, does it mean I'll be working from home? I've noticed that retrogrades in this persona chart can act sort of like the 12th house in a way in terms of illusion and things which are hidden. Maybe I'll finally work on that game or shoujo manga I've been putting off.

Chiron retrograde in the 4th house, Aquarius (°3 Gemini)

I might be rather fearful of becoming a mother. Having doubts on whether or not I am fitting or ready to become one. Contemplating the changes that it will bring into my life. Knowing that when it does happen, nothing will be the same. There might be something related to a miscarriage as well, carrying guilt or a burden surrounding fertility or worthiness.

Asteroids

Starr (4150) in the 8th house, Taurus (°29 Leo)

Gaining sudden fame/recognition, hate, or unnecessary attention after marriage or as a wife. As I said it's likely that my identity will be intertwined with my love life and people may have .. their own strong opinion on that. It's likely that a certain reputation will stick with me as a wife, although I'm not really sure what that could be yet.

Briede (19029) in the 9th house, Gemini (°29 Leo)

In marriage, I will act as the guide. Perhaps my FS will often come to me for advice or just to vent his thoughts and things he may be passionate about. I might be a bit more extroverted around my spouse or after marriage, being more bold and taking the lead. A little dramatic, and animated.

Groom (5129) in the 6th house, Pisces (°25 Aries)

My FS will be very invested in his career as well. Perhaps branching out and doing things that align more with what he believes in, his true "expressions". He'll be very determined and hardworking. He may take somewhat of a backseat or supporting role for some reason, going with whatever plan that I come up with. Trusting the process. That being said, he's still anything but lazy. Still very eager to start something new in a direction he may have not considered before being with me.

North node in the 6th house, Aries (°22 Capricorn)

Another °22 ? Damn. Literally working with him will change my life. For better or for worst? We'll see. We may be working on something significant to both of us, something that we are both passionate about and believe in.

Juno (3) in the 6th house, Aries (°13 Aries)

In the in any persona chart (love centric) Juno & union tells you where you both come together to create or work on the most often in your relationship. Here, it means the same thing I've been saying before; working together as a team when it comes to work or daily life. Perhaps it would be odd to see us apart at work or when going somewhere. Even if we are apart, people will still bring up the other "Hey Gaia, where's your husband?".

Ex: My mom & dad both work best together as parents/at home, they always debate their decisions w each other. They're both homebodies lmao. My mom's Briede PC Juno is in the 4th house, my dad's is in the 8th. Both are in Libra/Libra degrees. In my Dad's Groom persona chart he has Juno in the 12th in Libra (°15 Gemini) while my mom has it in 7th Sagittarius (°22 Sag).

Union (1585) in retrograde in the 12th house, Libra (°21 Sagittarius)

I may still keep certain doubts about our union or future to myself, letting go of control over the outcome of the relationship whether it will last the way I want, or go the way I expected. We will both be together somewhat behind the scenes. The inner workings of the relationship is something I may prefer to keep private.

Aspects

Grand Trine (Libra Jupiter 12th house, Gemini Moon 8th house, Aquarius Neptune 4th house)

There is this strong underlying feeling of both contentment and spiritual understanding. Being able to really sit back and feel the changes as well as the things in my life from multiple perspectives. This gives me the vibe of a "guru" in a way. My intuition, my thoughts and feelings are all in alignment. Overseeing things.

Sun conjunct Boda (1487)

My marriage is a key part of my identity. Literally. Having a lot of pride, being protective and being seen as a wife. When people think of me, they also think of my marriage. It's in the 7th house, which means to me, my marriage means the world to me.

Mercury conjunct North Node

There is going to be something significant with the way that I think or speak. Perhaps my mind will be very influenced by the thought of the future. Perhaps I will be taking, negotiating, advocating much more after marriage. It makes sense looking at my MC persona chart. Something similar to Brigitte Bardot. It's in the 6th/7th house, I will be prioritizing my work and connections. Speaking my mind. Starting something that is part of my life destiny.

Pluto trine North Node

Change is & will continue to be a common factor in my life. Since it's related to the 2nd (Pluto) & 6th House (NN) this change will further enhance my career & destiny. Finding ways to embed "change" into what I do, creating something new and impactful for my future.

Venus conjunct Starr (4150)

My love life may be very well known. People will recognize me for my charms and my interests. Both are in the 8th house , something about my love life is a big influence to those around me. Mostly concerning their opinion of me. The "shock" factor is what a lot of people will associate with my love life or relationships. There is this strange appeal or obsession around it.

Mars conjunct Uranus

I'll be more experimental after marriage, being more curious, trying new things, going to new places. I will likely be given a lot of room to do whatever it is that I want. Be it working on strange hobbies or projects that come to mind. I may do a lot of... Strange things artistically lmao. Maybe I'll finally perform a burlesque dance or start that indie game project I've been wanting to do. Whatever it is, I'll be doing a lot of new things. It's in the 5th house, both are in work centric degrees (Virgo & Capricorn) in Pisces. Something related to performance and art or the creative world. I might be doing them on my own as well or be the one to pursue it.

Lilith opposite Chiron

Lilith in the 10th & Chiron in the 4th. I might feel like I am being held back by certain things going on in my home life in the future. Perhaps I may find it difficult to fully express myself or act independently without support or backup.

Groom square Pluto

There will be a lot of changes & challenges that my FS & I have to face. Being together will not be easy as factors like distance, misunderstandings, self-centeredness and outside factors can come clawing at us, but as far as I am concerned a relationship is not without its trials & tribulations. It happens to every relationship, how & when it manifests are the only dividing factors. Marriage will also change my FS a lot in a way that might be "harmful" to him.

Saturn trine Groom, Groom trine Midheaven

My FS will be a driving force of long-term support for me. As rocky as things may get he'll still be a reliable support system.

Saturn conjunct Midheaven

Man. Work is literally the highlight of my marriage life. Through marriage, I am able to reach greater heights, success and career stability. Literally having the support to do the things that I aim for, reaching goals and a certain status in the long-run. Ketu in the 7th house & Saturn DK hits hard(vedic). "Your spouse is your greatest supporter".

Octopus brains are unlike any other. They consist of a central brain and mini-brains in each arm, which can learn and function semi-independently. But what’s more astounding is that their brains physically change shape depending on tasks or stress levels. This neural plasticity makes them master problem solvers, escape artists, and even tool users. In lab settings, some octopuses exhibit unique personalities—curious, shy, or aggressive. They challenge our understanding of intelligence and consciousness in non-mammalian species, blurring the line between instinct and thought.

Extraversion (E) – Introversion (I)

Extraverts (also often spelled extroverts) are "outward-turning" and tend to be action-oriented, enjoy more frequent social interaction, and feel energized after spending time with other people. Introverts are "inward-turning" and tend to be thought-oriented, enjoy deep and meaningful social interactions, and feel recharged after spending time alone.

Sensing (S) – Intuition (N)

People who prefer sensing tend to pay a great deal of attention to reality, particularly to what they can learn from their own senses. They tend to focus on facts and details and enjoy getting hands-on experience. Those who prefer intuition pay more attention to things like patterns and impressions. They enjoy thinking about possibilities, imagining the future, and abstract theories.

Thinking (T) – Feeling (F)

This scale focuses on how people make decisions based on the information that they gathered from their sensing or intuition functions. People who prefer thinking place a greater emphasis on facts and objective data.

Judging (J) – Perceiving (P)

The final scale involves how people tend to deal with the outside world. Those who lean toward judging prefer structure and firm decisions. People who lean toward perceiving are more open, flexible, and adaptable. These two tendencies interact with the other scales.

mxtx romance theory

imo all mxtx romances (so far) have followed this pattern:

the problem-haver: "the protagonist." the story centers around this character, the various problems he encountered/incurred in his life, and how he suffered (a lot) as a result. the problem-haver typically has a big impact on many others; he will have many important interpersonal connections with many other characters. moreover, his most important interpersonal connection (in terms of his character development) does not need to be with the problem-solver.

the problem-solver: "the love interest." their primary narrative function is to support the problem-haver unconditionally and to provide a refuge for the problem-haver from their problems. the problem-solver's most important interpersonal connection (in terms of his character development) is always with the problem-haver; his character arc centers the problem-haver. almost all of the pain the problem-solver suffers is a result of his unconditional and unwavering love for the problem-haver.

from a doylist point of view, the problem-haver can exist without the problem-solver; if you pruned the problem-solver out of the story, the problem-haver's character arc and lore would still make a highly interesting story. however, on both an interpersonal and a narrative level, the problem-solver revolves around the problem-haver. the entire reason why the problem-solver is even in the story to begin with is to support the problem-haver; without the problem-haver, the problem-solver cannot exist as they currently are.

wei wuxian and xie lian are problem-havers. lan wangji and hua cheng are their respective problem-solvers.

however, i posit that it is in fact luo binghe who is the problem-haver and shen qingqiu who is the problem-solver.

Another Sonic OC! I'm having fun trying to figure out how aquatic Mobians would look, so here's a morally questionable dolphin lady~

Name: Ekko

Pronouns: She/Her

Species: Mobian - Dolphin

Height: 109.7 cm - 3.6 ft (not including fin height)

Occupation: Diplomat/Assassin

Alignment: Social Impure (ie. The Socialite)

Affiliations: Unknown employer

Enemies: Sonic the Hedgehog, The Chaotix, Team Dark + G.U.N.

Personality: Ekko is simply the perfect picture of charm - cordial, eloquent, and seemingly impossible to rattle. She moves through conversations like water, effortlessly adapting, always wearing that pleasant, knowing smile on her face that makes her appear as a comforting force to those who know little. She is a diplomat, a problem-solver, someone who can smooth over tensions with a well-placed word or a well-timed laugh. People trust her... A fact they always learn to regret.

Beneath the surface, Ekko is a predator with a mask of smiles. She thrives on competition, revels in the thrill of the chase, and finds an unsettling joy in pushing her prey to their limits before finishing the job. She isn't just a professional; she enjoys the work with cruelty. Taunting, testing, savoring the fear in her opponents before she takes them down... To her, the world is one big game, and she's determined to win.

Motivations: Ekko is loyal to her mysterious employer... but only for now. She plays the role of the obedient henchman well, following orders with precision and never giving her boss a reason to doubt her. But in her mind, every mission, every target, every success is merely a step toward the real prize: taking everything for herself. She watches, waits, and learns with that same, all-knowing smile. One day, the hunt will change. One day, the one giving the orders will become the prey. And when that day comes, she'll make sure they never see it coming.

Likes: games

Dislikes: idealism, boredom

Favorite/Least Favorite Food: sushi and grilled fish/sweets

Fears: drowning, meeting another just like her

Powers: Echolocation - Plenty of animals use echolocation, and the Mobian Dolphins are no different. Ekko can detect the location of targets with pinpoint accuracy for up to a mile away, able to discern their physical condition thanks to her psychic abilities. (Note: This is an ability all Dolphins have.)

Psylence - Ekko's deadliest ability. It functions by absorbing ambient sound waves (whether from her own echolocation, the environment, or even an opponent's attacks) and converting them into a focused psychic shockwave. The attack disrupts an enemy's senses, inducing vertigo. It can even become a destructive force, depending on the intensity of the sound absorbed.

Abilities:

Swimming: Plenty of aquatic Mobians are excellent swimmers who keep moving beneath the water for miles and miles without losing stamina. Ekko is no different.

Agility: Ekko can perform rapid flips, spins, and high-speed dashes mid-air, almost as if "swimming" through the air in short bursts. This makes her highly evasive and unpredictable in combat. Within the water, her jump rate meets incredible heights.

Hand-to-Hand Combat: As an assassin, Ekko is trained to deal with enemies up close and personal. Her calculating mind is rather cold, and she is not above using whatever items she can in her environment to assist her in eliminating her targets.

Weaknesses:

Fighting Style: Ekko is incredibly fast, acrobatic, and fluid in combat, but this comes at the cost of raw durability. If someone lands a solid hit, she might not recover as quickly as a brute-force fighter.

Air: Aquatic Mobians, although able to breathe within both air and water, must remain hydrated to remain healthy. Too long without water could be fatal. Mammals who live in the sea, such as Dolphins, also need to return to the surface to breathe. Too long underwater is also fatal.

Sound-based limitations: Her psychic wave ability relies on sound waves to convert into energy. If she’s in an area with no sound (like a vacuum or deep underwater silence), or if someone finds a way to dampen sound around her, this move would be virtually useless. Also, if someone were to move faster than sound, dodging this shouldn't be a problem.

[cgtg]

looking @ all of this godtier stuff, i wanna say i dont rlly think classpecting is all that. it's a fun analytical tool for exploring a character's themeing and role in a narrative. but it's fundamentally impossible to assign an "arc" 2 a living person, & within sburb itself the godtier system has a very questionable view of what its characters arcs mean/should be. like. you can 100% interpret classpects as bullshit within the text.

that being said, again, they're still a fun narrative tool to bring outside of homestuck itself, & if you remove them from the intelligence/structure of SBURB they are rlly fun for vibes-based introspection. they aren't made up of nothing, they have clear inspiration & meaning to hussie.

i view classes like roles in a play. anyone can pick any of them for any reason, multiple at different times even, but you only know for sure if one fits you by playing it. my perspective on it is rly close to funk mclovin's theory.

i view aspects as a bit more immutable bc i feel like they speak to more core traits rather than the shit u operationalise, which is much more up to personal choice.

i have always felt a distinct calling to the space aspect, for well over a decade. i relate heavily to a lot of the core themes it portrays. i could ramble for ages abt that, legit.

the course of picking "witch" has been a progression to me. "seer" encapsulates how i am/was when trapped in passivity both internally & externally. relegated to a problem solver, advice friend, helper. a role which i perform well but am deeply unfulfilled & drained in.

the "witch" class encapsulates my fundamental need to have my own autonomy, function, control, freedoms in my life for myself & not for others. that is ultimately what i desire to be, & i feel that the "witch" encapsulates it well. i also fuck heavily with the archetypal "lonesome magician who is feared & revered for their wisdome and power" character. kid me would've fuckin *loved* being a wicked witchman.

like, i think it's worthwhile to work backwards from what you think of yourself & *then* put the godtier jammies on. bc fundamentally it is impossible to put humanity in all these little boxes, especially when we don't have enough evidence to prove the true validity of those boxes or their limitations. & they purely operate within the limitations of a piece of fiction made by one person.

this is why, although i don't put much stock in the actual system of classpects, my classpect is deeply personal to me. bc it culminates from extensive introspection. i also find it incredibly interesting 2 see how others classpect themselves, bc it is a fundamental expression of the self to place yourself in these grids, & *requires* personal interpretation of the system by a means that *also* says something about you as a person. like, it's a net gain if you're interested in how people live their lives & define themselves, which i am.

uh... basically have fun & be yourself

[hyperlexichypatia]

So many ableist and queerphobic (and probably other kinds of bigoted, but I know more about those two) arguments, under examination, just boil down to a teleological fallacy. And we've got to start deconstructing that fallacy at the root if we're going to keep those same arguments from crawling back out of the ooze.

There is no physical attribute or biological process, in humans or any other species, that is "supposed to" or "intended to" or "meant to" be a certain way. That is not a meaningful concept.

"People are supposed to be able to walk a mile without assistance."

No. Perhaps most people can walk a mile without assistance, but many people cannot. There is no "supposed to."

"People with ovaries are intended to be able to get pregnant."

No. Many people with ovaries are able to get pregnant, and some are not. There is no "intended to."

"People are designed to have XX or XY chromosomes."

No. Most people have XX or XY chromosomes, but many do not. There is no "designed to."

"Your child should be sitting up and responding to words when they're 6 months old."

No. Many children are sitting up and responding to words when they're 6 months old, but some are not. "Should" has no place here.

Too often, well-meaning people try to rebut these arguments with some kind of "accepting" teleological argument for "why" disabled/queer people might exist.

"Maybe autistic people exist to be lone shepherds watching the flock. Maybe gay people exist to be adoptive parents for orphans. Maybe people with Down syndrome exist to be peacekeepers and mediators. Maybe ADHD people exist to be creative problem-solvers"

No. These may be social roles that may be well-suited to some people's strengths, but they're not the reason that anyone exists, because people don't exist for a reason. Autistic people exist. Gay people exist. People with Down syndrome exist. ADHD people exist.

This also opens the door to people arguing "What about the BAD disabilities, that don't have a function? What about cancer? What about Tay-Sachs disease? What about cystic fibrosis? What about major depressive disorder? Surely THOSE disabilities aren't supposed to exist!"

And yet they do. People with cancer exist. People with Tay-Sachs disease exist. People with cystic fibrosis exist. People with major depressive disorder exist. They deserve rights and dignity and equality because they are people who exist.

Some people will try to get around this by using "evolved to." "People evolved to practice heterosexual reproduction. People evolved to have two legs and be able to run."

But evolution isn't goal-oriented. It just happens. Having two legs and running and reproducing heterosexually are predominant human traits, but clearly, they are not necessary ones, because you can look around and see people who don't have two legs, people who can't run, people who don't practice heterosexual reproduction.

To be clear, I'm coming from the starting premise that there is no specific "intent" or "purpose" to the biological diversity of life, but I'm not saying that if you do believe in something like creationism or intelligent design, that also isn't a good justification for ableism or queerphobia, because the full range of life's diversity still very much exists. "God didn't make Adam and Steve!" Well, and yet, there, standing before you, are two men, Adam and Steve, partnered to each other, so either you think they weren't created by God (sounds heretical, but what do I know?) or you must accept that Xe did, in fact, create Adam and Steve.

Bird Cats (or Cards)

(placeholder name for now lol)

more info below

Cards are the dominant species of Ylwari, having evolved from their pack-living herbivorous ancestors that lived in the planet's ancient forests. Being quite fragile and defenseless for their size, the Cards ancestors were evolutionarily pressured to develop tools and outsmart their predators. In this, they developed ways to meaningfully fight back. Now being able to consistently defend their packs; along with the discovery of farming, Cards quickly rose in population.

Cards tend to have excellent vision, even seeing in the dark. They tend to have fuzzy coats on their bodies that vary in thickness depending on their region of origin. These coats tend to be shades of blue or purple with varying patterns. Although, rarely, coats can be a shade of red. They have quite large ears, often used for social cues and heat distribution. They process information extremely quickly, them being fast learners and quick problem solvers. In short bursts, Cards can stand up on their hind legs, allowing free use of their hands. Once they stand, they have a posture similar to Earth birds. They have two brains, one in their head and one in their torso. The one in their head is smaller, housing their consciousness, senses, and cognition. The other, larger brain manages their motor skills, instincts, and bodily functions.

With their fast learning, Cards are one of the more advanced sophonts technologically. Some of the more advanced communities have access to space travel, there being colonies of Card civilizations spread throughout their planetary system. Additionally, they were the first sophont to develop faster than light travel. Despite this, however, they rarely create colonies beyond their home system, most not seeing the cost in resources worth it. 

Card communities tend to greatly expand horizontally. In this, territorial disputes often arise. To avoid this, more technologically advanced communities go down instead, creating vast interconnected underground cities. Although, this is uncommon due to the risks associated with excavating below populated cities.

Since Cards originate from a supercontinent, most communities never developed boats. Moreover, transportation between communities is near nonexistent. To build things like railroads, an agreement between multiple communities is required. Projects like these usually resulted in conflict, railroads possibly intruding into a communities territory. The only viable way of transportation is by air. More advanced communities use AIs for construction or calculations, something that even further widened the gap between communities. Overall, Cards are technologically very “inconsistent”.

👑 - The Noodle Arm Incident - L.JN

Pairing: gym bro!Jeno x mark sister!yn

Genre: fluff, gym ???

Warning : puddle, stumble/fall, tore ligament, gym, sweat, heart eye, concerned bigbro mark ???

Vibe : A torn ligament, a traitorous puddle, and one dramatic fall later, yn finds herself in wrist rehab, dragged to the gym by her overly concerned brother. She expected sore muscles and awkward stretching, not Jeno, the quiet, kind helper who makes healing feel like less of a chore and more like… something worth showing up for. a/n : Sorry if the gym scene sounds hella vague… I’ve never stepped foot in a gym 💀 The only gym in my life is Gym Jungkook, and even Jeno stresses me out with those arms. Sometimes I genuinely feel like taking a bite out of his bicep. Just a lil chomp. Lemme know your thoughts before I embarrass myself even more 😩🏋️‍♂️💚

Accidents can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Yours just happened to be during the last week of the semester, right before summer break. Of course.

You were walking to class, avoiding a small puddle near the university’s main entrance, when somehow, physics failed you. One bad step and you stumbled over your own foot, crashed onto the pavement, and instinctively threw out your left hand to break the fall.

Wrong move.

The pain was instant and intense. A sharp, searing kind that made your vision blur for a second. You sat there on the pavement, clutching your wrist, trying not to cry. Or scream. Or both. Lucky for your dignity, no one was around to witness your ungraceful fall from grace, just you, gravity, and that one traitorous puddle.

Gritting your teeth, you pulled out your phone with your good hand and shakily tapped on Mark’s contact. Your thumb trembled. Your pride was already bruised. Your wrist? Probably worse.

He picked up on the first ring.

“Mark,” you breathed, trying to sound calm. You did not succeed. “What happened?” “I think I broke myself,” you muttered, swallowing a wince. “…Did you fall again?” “Pavement attacked me.” He sighed so loud you could practically hear his soul leaving his body. “Stay there. I’m coming.”

And he did, like he was auditioning for the next Fast & Furious movie, tires screeching and all. You didn’t even make it into the car before he started his rant.

“You’re singlehandedly aging me a decade, you know that?” “Hello to you too.” “I let you walk to class and you try to fight the sidewalk?” “It started it.” “You keep this up and I’m installing airbags on your shoes.”

By the time he got you to the hospital, he’d already named your injury: The Noodle Arm Incident.

And sadly, it stuck.

At the hospital, after a long wait and a whole lot of poking, the doctor gave you the bad news: torn ligament in your left wrist. No surgery, thank god, but at least a month of rest and light physical therapy. Your entire summer break? Canceled.

Mark, ever the problem-solver slash honorary parent, took it upon himself to personally enroll you at his friend’s gym.

Which brings us to your first day at the gym, three weeks post-injury, wrist still wrapped but starting to feel more like your own again.

You were sitting in the passenger seat of Mark’s car, nervously staring at the gym sign through the windshield like it might explode.

“I don’t wanna go in,” you mumbled.

“You’re not being drafted to war,” he deadpanned. “You're doing wrist curls, not combat training.”

“Says the guy with two functioning wrists.”

Mark sighed dramatically but softened. “Look, I wouldn’t bring you here if I didn’t trust them. And Jeno’s cool. He’s chill. Just follow his lead and don’t try to lift a car on day one.”

You scoffed. “Ha-ha. Very funny.”

But he still waited at the entrance with you, hands on your shoulders like a proud dad. “You got this. Just don’t fall in the gym, okay?”

You smacked his arm with your good hand and walked in.

The gym smelled like rubber mats and metal. Music thumped gently in the background, not loud enough to drown your thoughts. You stood there awkwardly, unsure where to go, when someone approached from the free weights section.

“You’re Mark’s sister?" he asked, voice low but kind.

You turned, and there he was. Jeno. You’d see him in passing a few times, all arms and quiet energy, the type who never skipped leg day or chest day. He looked effortlessly cool, even in a plain black tank and sweats.

You nodded. “Yeah, first time here, for wrist rehab. Also... I have no idea what I’m doing.”

He smiled, eyes soft. “That’s okay. I’ll help.”

And help he did. He adjusted your form gently, made sure you didn’t overextend your wrist, explained things patiently like he wasn’t rushing to get back to his own routine. It could’ve felt awkward, but somehow it didn’t. Not with him.

He didn’t treat you like you were fragile,just careful. Respectful. Kind.

That day marked the beginning of a slow, unexpected rhythm. You started coming in regularly. Sometimes you’d spot him already there, nodding a quiet hello. Other times, he’d show up mid-session, offer you a spare water bottle, or casually walk you through a new machine like it was no big deal.

One day, after a longer-than-usual workout, both of you sat on the floor, legs stretched out, breathing heavy.

“Want to get something to eat?” he asked.

You blinked. “Now?”

He nodded. “Yeah. You earned it.”

The post-gym meal was nothing fancy, grilled chicken rice bowls at a quiet corner shop, but somehow, it felt like the most comforting thing you’d had in a while.

Maybe it was the way Jeno listened when you spoke, genuinely and without distraction, like every word mattered. He shared stories about gymming with his best friend Jaemin, how college stress led him to find peace through lifting weights. 

In return, you told him your noodle arm origin story, how a puddle and a poor judgment of balance led to your wrist betraying you. He laughed, not mockingly, but with that low, breathy kind of laugh that made your chest flutter and your face burn a little. It felt like the beginning of something soft, and slowly unfolding.

Weeks passed, and gym time slowly became something more than just rehab. Your wrist healed beautifully, no longer wrapped or aching, and your routine shifted into full-body sets instead of just babying your left side. You were stronger now, not just in your wrist, but in the way you carried yourself. More confident. And through it all, Jeno was there. Most sessions, you'd find him already waiting, towel slung over his shoulder, greeting you with a soft smile like it was the best part of his day. Maybe it was. 

You’d train side by side, exchanging quiet encouragements, spotting each other during tougher sets, sharing water bottles when you forgot yours. It wasn’t just healing your body anymore, it felt like healing your spirit too. One rep, one smile, one shared silence at a time.

He’d walk you to your car sometimes, even if his session wasn’t done yet. You started to notice the way his hand would hover near your lower back when you walked through crowded spaces. The way he always knew when to push you, and when to let you rest.

And one evening, after your usual session together, both of you sweaty, tired, and sharing a quiet moment after workout for the day , you noticed something. As you were getting ready to  head toward your car, Jeno didn’t follow. Instead, he turned back toward the gym, wiping his neck with his towel.

“You’re going again?” you asked, confused.

He paused, glancing over his shoulder. “Yeah,” he said, a little sheepish. “Jaemin’s coming. I usually gym with him in the evenings.”

You blinked. “Wait… so I’m... your warm-up?”

He laughed softly, rubbing the back of his neck. “No. I mean… kind of? Not really. I just... didn’t want to stop gymming with you.”

Your brows lifted slightly, a quiet beat passing between you.

He looked at you then, more earnest than you’d ever seen him. “I like this. Us. Working out together. Even if I’ve gotta do double sessions, it’s worth it.”

There was a strange little flutter in your chest. A pause in your breath. Maybe it was the endorphins. Or maybe... it wasn’t.

You smiled, eyes soft. “You’re insane.”

He grinned back. “A little bit. But for a good reason.”

You rolled your eyes, but the smile tugging at your lips was hard to hide. “So you’d rather suffer through two gym sessions than skip one with me?”

He shrugged, casual, like he hadn’t just thrown your heart into a somersault. “I mean, yeah. Kinda hard to go back to leg day with Jaemin after laughing through planks with you.”

You laughed quietly, trying to ignore the way your heart felt too big in your chest. “You laugh through planks?”

“With you, apparently.”

There was something in his tone. Not teasing. Not playful. Just... honest. And it made the silence stretch, not awkward, but full. Full of things unspoken. Like how you’d started looking forward to gym days not for progress, but for him. Like how you caught yourself scanning the room for him before your workouts even began. Like how his presence made the air feel lighter.

You tucked your towel into your bag, suddenly very aware of how close he was standing.

“Well,” you said, gently, “don’t let Jaemin outlift me.”

He smiled, but it was softer this time. “He doesn’t stand a chance.”

You looked at him then, and he looked right back. Not rushed. Not hesitant. Just there—open and present. And in that quiet moment, with post-workout sweat still cooling on your skin and the scent of gym mats lingering faintly in the air, you knew.

“So,” you started, slinging your bag over your shoulder, trying to sound casual even though your pulse was doing jumping jacks. “Second gym session of the night. You sure your muscles won’t file a complaint?”

Jeno chuckled, falling into step beside you as you both walked toward the exit again. “They might. But Jaemin talks more than he lifts, so I’ll be fine.”

You raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t peg him for a chatterbox.”

“Oh, he narrates everything,” Jeno said with a soft grin. “Last week he gave a TED Talk about protein intake while bench pressing.”

You laughed, loud enough that a couple of gym-goers looked over. But Jeno just smiled like he didn’t care. Like maybe that laugh was the best thing he’d heard all day.

At the entrance, you paused. He stopped too.

“Hey,” he said, his voice quieter now. “Do you wanna come with us? It’s nothing serious. Just legs and Jaemin’s bad playlist.”

You hesitated, not because you didn’t want to, you want to but because your heart suddenly felt too full. Like if you said yes, you were saying yes to something more than just squats. But before you could overthink it, you saw the way he was looking at you. Not expecting. Not pushing. Just... hopeful.

You smiled. “Nah. I’ll let you suffer with Jaemin solo tonight. But maybe… after?”

He tilted his head. “After?”

“Bubble tea. If your legs still function.”

Jeno grinned, and this time, there was something different in it. Something a little giddy. “Deal.”

And then, like it was the most natural thing in the world, he reached out and gently bumped your pinky with his. Just a touch. Just a quiet promise.

“I’ll text you when I’m done,” he said, walking backward now, still smiling.

You watched him go, that flutter in your chest blooming into something steady. Something warm. You weren’t sure what this was becoming, but whatever it was, it felt good.

It felt like something that had been waiting to happen all along.

Awkward Arrival:

First headcanon off the bat, 2 in 1, a name and thing, tessa’s design of what she call’s “protection model drones” are different then disassembly drones a few key ways

1.Sturdier build and only slightly more humanoid but overall still a drone.

2.Weapons are more varied and customizations/attachments for weapons can be spawned via a 3d printer that’s designed to look like a satchel at either hip, and a new weapon can be uploaded to the cloud at any point (I imagine Uzi would be happy to lend design schematics to see what a version of her railgun would look like on a PM drone body) but the weapon swap system is a bit slower to load the weapon,a 0.5 second slower to be exact (eldritch magic be damned, tessa got close).

3.no oil hunger thankfully but there is alot more oil acting as the blood of this machine.

4.backups of personal memory of the unit are done CONSTANTLY and the drone themselves is their own admin.

5.has tools for repairing regular drones as well in the arsenal

6.has a version of the patch installed in their hardware, allowing transfer of solver users into PM drone bodies

7.has a sharp knife-tipped usb with a copy of the patch on it as apart of the weapon arsenal

8.instead of the color scheme of the yellow and black of safety tape, its green and red.

Her J was of course the first subject, and also managed to free her from solvers admin controls and gave her memories back.A lot of digital tears were shed that day because solver implemented a false memory of her killing tessa, which Tessa removed before giving admin over to her jaybird.

2nd headcanon: The spaceship base is the most self-indulgent looking home of tessa, her interests on full display, she has found and made a station for oxygen tank refills, there is more futuristic stuff, mainly lots of old food and water producing related tech (thankfully J has watched her and she has a green thumb)

3rd headcanon: Tessa has had to learn how to make ammo and make new weapon designs to deal with dd’s due to the last planet she was on, picked it up from a old weapon smith colony on the same planet(they were the weapon supplier during the solver war)

1 Question: how is cyn feeling amidst all of this as she watches from the back of her own mind?

Awkward Arrival

I love the idea that Tessa would make the Protection Model Drones (PMD), with the Solver's Disassembly Drones (SDD) being inferior knock offs.

Probably would have them based off construction drones to start study, and just add some armor without cutting functionality.

The greater variety would make up for the delay in making a weapon, especially once Uzi gets the greenlight to have some fun making more weapons. She actually is slowed down due to upload speeds.

Probably also took care of the heat problem that caused the oil hunger.

Great idea, cloud back ups every hour, and a full system back up at night.

They are uploaded to the cloud for the weapons under a sub folder.

Excellent touch for them to have that patch, and that it's updated.

File number 00003 is the USB penetration unit.

This is her gift to the universe so the Christmas Colors are thematic.

J needs therapy, Tessa needs therapy, EVERYONE NEEDS THERAPY! No, group therapy is not kissing Tessa, Jaybird, get it together you two... NOT THAT WAY!

I could see her making it an even fancier mansion than her parents could imagine, and every inch is full of her interests and love. J keeps her alive by reminding her to use the food and water machines.

I could see her developing a love of kinetic and beam weapons over ballistic weapons. She gathers all blueprints she can find, no matter what.

1 Answer: Cyn is glad to see the two of them, and hopes that they can stop her, and the monster she has become.

I have a bit of a possibly unusual request. At this moment, I am dealing with one of my migraines, so I apologise if my wording is off.

Anyway...I was wondering what you think Fuegoleon might do or think if he had someone he cared for in this kind of situation.

For example, in my case, I woke up with the pain, and I've tried everything I can think of to treat it; rescue medicine, a hot shower, caffeine, water, food and rest. But it's still lingering; holding on tight like a vice.

How do you think he'd try to help? Would he consider his s/o or loved one strong for enduring the inescapable pain? (Considering there are different kinds of strength)

I thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on anything. ❤️

Hi! Ooh this was an interesting request, and as a fellow migraine have-er, I thought that this fic was very much needed

Admittedly I leaned to my own experiences, and remedies that work for me, too, simply because it was the easiest ^^' Anyways, I hope you like it!

Pairing: Fuegoleon x gn!reader Genre: uhh... hurt-comfort? (Reader is literally in pain due to migraine) Length: ~0.9k Fanfic type: Oneshot Contains: a migraine attack, non-aural migraine (no mention of aura), Fue trying to be a problem solver with seeking answers, comforts reader while trying to find a long-term solution, takes care of reader, promises to stick by reader

It was one of those days.

A sense of nausea had been lingering on you for most of the day, and you had hoped that it would have been just a case of being dehydrated. Or a stiff neck. Or maybe just a poorly slept night. You hoped that it would have been one of those things, instead of another approaching migraine.

But you hadn’t been as lucky.

Sure enough, by late afternoon, it was apparent that it wasn’t any of those things.

Instead it was the pulsating headache that made you feel nauseous; rendering you incapable of focusing on anything. It was just the jabbing pain on your temple, behind your eyes that seemed intent on lingering there. It was as if it was trying to make home behind your eyes.

You tried taking a long, hot shower, along with pain medication.

Some coffee and a sugary drink after it. Food. Water. All the things you wished that your body was in need of, and which could then remove the pained state of being that you were burdened with.

But again, you weren’t as lucky.

So, instead you laid there, in bed, hoping that rest would do what everything else had failed to do. Even if slowly. Not that you really wanted to do anything to begin with, not with the pain. Rest was the best course of action in any case.

But it didn’t mean that you wouldn’t have silently, out of frustration, cursed at least a little bit of the migraine.

And that was how your husband found you.

In bed, with your eyes closed, but your breathing slightly strained.

His steps sounded against the floor, sturdy and secure, as he calmly approached the bed. And sat down onto it.

The mattress gave away slightly from under his weight.

A faint scent of lavender floated through the air.

“How are you feeling?” He inquired with a hushed tone, careful about not making the headache worse.

“In pain,” you replied, a little frustrated, but your tone was only heavy.

There was the sound of clothes ruffling, probably from him nodding.

“I talked with Owen the other day about migraines, after the previous incident,” he explained. “And... he was talking about how migraines are caused by an irritated trigeminal nerve, which plays a part in functions of the jaw, such as chewing, along with touch sensations on the face. He talked a little bit about how factors such as stress or over-exercised jaw, for example due to grinding teeth at night, along with dehydration and lack of proper sleep could contribute to it.”

You gave a nod to his explanation.

“He also mentioned something about vasodilation with can contribute to a feeling of pressure,” he continued. “And suggested that a cool fold over forehead, a dark quiet room, and a gentle massage of the shoulder and neck region might help with an attack. But as a mode of prevention he said that the only thing he could suggest is making sure that you stay hydrated and do some exercises that activate the muscles in your shoulder and neck region.”

You gave another nod as there was another shift in the matters under you.

His steps carried him further away from you, after which there was a sound of running water from a faucet. More steps, this time towards you.

A cool, damp sensation over your forehead, slightly over your eyes.

“I hope it helps,” he stated as his hand graced your cheek.

More steps, a sound of curtains closing.

“Thank you,” you said while pressing the fold a little more firmly against your skin.

He let out a hum as a reply, which was followed by a slight pressure on your shoulders.

“Hm-, what?” You managed.

“A slight massage of sore muscles,” he simply remarked. “It helps to get fluids moving,” it sounded almost like he was repeating something he had been told. “I know you’re tough. Going about your life even while in pain during your periods,” he stated. “But it doesn’t mean that you should. Which is why, in long term, we should seek options to reduce your migraines. Because there is no ...particular pride in going about your life in pain, despite toughness, if said pain can be avoided.”

“If I knew what helps, I would have done it already,” you replied, just a tad bit annoyed; emphasized because of the migraine, even if the cool and the massage were helping.

“I know,” he agreed. “But perhaps you just need help in finding a solution. Everyone requires assistance from time to time. And if it can’t be helped... then we will manage. Together.”

And there was reason in what he was speaking. Because he was someone who didn’t want to focus on quick fixes, but how to remove the cause of the issue; sustainable solutions. But he wouldn’t be leaving you to your own devices with it, he’d be with you even though there wouldn’t be more solutions than trying to manage the symptoms.

“Is it helping?” He inquired as he pressed onto a tight spot with a tip of his finger.

“Yeah,” you agreed as you felt blood beginning to flow in your muscles.

“Good,” he nodded again, judging from the ruffling of clothes. “A little bit more, and then I’ll let you rest,” he promised.

You could practically hear the gentle smile on his lips.

Yeah... he’d be there for you.

Headcanon that Silver trains himself with mind puzzles, mathematical problems and problem solvers to keep his mind nimble.

Since his psionics require brain function he can be seen levitating upside down solving math puzzles at rapid speeds or playing memory games to keep his mental processing skills elastic.

The mental fortitude required to coordinate the moving of large structures, keep up with Sonic in flight and execute complex actions in battle bespeaks a great intelligence in Silver.
