Hi, hello, are you taking writing requests? 🥺 do you think you could write something with Haru? I don't really have anything in mind, so it can be whatever you feel like, fluff, yandere or smut (as long as it doesnt have a sad ending lol) (｡>﹏<｡) I'm desperate for some Haru stuff and I love your writing so much!!!

Be careful with snakes!

Haru had the nicest dream/hallucination after being bitten by a snake.

Wc: 1,9k

Notes: I wanted to follow the future family idea we had going on but it didn't end up being as much of a future as it was his inner wishes. But it's cute! Haru just wants a calm and domestic life here.

This took longer than I expected... ndjdj

Chillingly cold winds awaken Haru roughly, seeping through the white cotton button down and hitting his pale skin causing goosebumps. Opening his eyes just enough to see sunlight above him almost completely obscured by the leafy treetops, he comes with the most likely possibility.

“Did I pass out again?” Haru scratches the nape of his neck, he was using his stigma pretty frequently lately and he might have skipped dinner and breakfast before using it today but it was unlikely that he passed out just because he was low on glucose, he has used it in worse condition and came out pretty alive!

Even then, he guesses it's better to cut possible losses short, drag himself to the dorm and do some damage control with the anomalies because it's very unlikely that Towa or Ren suddenly got the calling to help around for once.

Looking around, what does feel unsettling even if just a second is how different the forest area looks compared to the last time he scouted the area. The terrain uncharacteristically steep compared to the usually plain jabberwock and the weirdly vast amount of fir and spruce when most of the trees were oak or anomalous species.

Regardless, he brushes off whatever worry he could conceive. It isn't abnormal for Jabberwock to experiment sudden changes to account for new anomalies entering and leaving it, that could easily explain the trees and plants and the geography, while harder to change, it's still possible.

What was more concerning was his overall disorientation, if he could get to his dorm that would be great, did he walk towards or against the sun? He doesn't even remember how he managed to get himself here.

While looking down at the dry and rocky dirt trying to find footsteps a familiar voice presents itself as a better clue.

“Hey, stop it, be nice” the familiar childish reproach that you would tell to the miniature rams when they fought for territory, even when he explained they were totally grown and it was normal for them to fight, reaches his ears and he lets out a sigh in relief, he could at least trust in you to take care of some anomalies even if just for a little while.

As much as he loves his housemates he can't lie and say they are good at anomalously animals husbandry, Towa is quite a ditz and forgets feeding times and what each anomaly can eat -and tends to electrocute them but he doesn't know that- and Ren refuses to work around aquatic areas and if forced to he will audibly whine while doing it.

Still, knowing that you didn't have any real powers to protect yourself if any of the anomalies got rowdy, he decides to slide down the face of the mountain to where your voice is, maybe you will be able to guide him back to the dorm or explain to him what was happening. Sadly, he has to slide normally down the vertiginous terrain without using bahnti, it wouldn't be helpful to black out again and the heaviness settled in his head didn't give him a positive outlook.

Angling down his foot just right and working along gravity, Haru starts surfing down a wave of dirt and rocks while dodging the branches and stumps on the way down the slope and soon enough reaches the foot of the mountain with slightly dirty clothes.

At the foot there is a small area blending the sharp and angular mountain range and a somewhat plain surface spotting a cozy cabin. Around it there was a grown up Peekaboo and a log thrown in the dirt, where you were seated holding a white fluff.

That was Peekaboo! How did he not notice he wasn't in his baby carrier?! His hand lingers on his abdomen but he doesn't feel the fabric of the carrier, it must have fallen off and you found his little one.

“Natsu, you can't hurry how fast Pukaboo eats, he will get a tummy ache otherwise” you tell calmly but firmly to someone behind you. As Haru walks closer he sees a redheaded kid no older than 4 hanging from the same arm holding the bottle.

After walking a few meters away from the thickest part of the forest he seems to have caught your attention finally, if the way your head snapped up is anything to go by. With a smile on your lips you usher the kid away.

“There is your papa, why don't you help him feed peekaboo” and in 2 seconds a kid smashes face first against his abdomen and pulls him towards the big white fluff. As it unrolls from the furry sphere, it seems to perk up when it sees him, nudging its head against his leg. As he went to pet it the child pulled his hand back.

“Don’t pet him, papa, Peekaboo ate my chia pet! I hate him now” at the harsh words the creature whimpers, offended. His Peekaboo does make a habit of eating wild plants whenever Haru isn't monitoring his playtime but this is obviously a grown up of the same species, not a little baby.

“Peekaboo? But this little dude is huge! Peekaboo is small enough to carry” he laughs while scratching his neck.

“Hm? Silly papa, Pukaboo is the tiny one, Peekaboo always was biggg” and almost to make a point the child extends his arms wide on the last word. The grown Peekaboo, supposedly his Peekaboo, keeps looking at him expectantly and tilts his fluffy head in just the same angle his baby would when begging for treats or scratches.

“Natsu, how do you intend to feed peekaboo without food? Go inside and get your dad the lettuce, it's in the kitchen sink” now finished feeding what Haru thought was his peekaboo you started walking towards them with the cub in your arms.

Natsu slides away, a smile splitting his face in two, such a helpful kid, Haru can't help but think that he almost wishes Ren was as eager to help as him.

Watching as the cub is put down next to its father and how quickly it hurries under his fur to hide from the cold and, without thinking about it, Haru laughs loudly. Even if anomalies weren't pets he himself admitted they were particularly cute when the temperature starts to drop. And they start being less aggressive and bite-y.

“Just like Natsu when he was a baby, don't you think? He would usually fight with Pukaboo to see who snuggled under your arm” in a friendly gesture your elbow him but soon your playful tone turns sober, and your eyes darken with worry “did something happen? You left before breakfast without even leaving a note”

He stays uncharacteristically quiet, what could he even say? He doesn't even remember why he was out and about in the first place but you seem to have taken his silence as bad news.

“Did the new specimen not adapt well to here?”

“Ah, it's not that!”

With a sigh of relief you giggle “Did the director try to get you to act like a forest ranger for the normal part of the park? He never learns, huh?” linking your arms you start dragging him to the cabin, speaking lightheartedly about what he would like to eat, how you fed the anomalies or how fast Pukaboo and Natsu are growing.

Allowing himself to be dragged inside, into the welcoming warmth emanating from the fireplace and his family, the heavy knots tied inside his muscles relax feeling belonging in the little cozy home.

Hanging by the small foyer, you urge him to take off his muddied mountain boots to not drag dirt inside and he compiles without a word, sliding with his white socks on the hardwood floors.

“Daaaaad, can you help me open this?” the little redhead approaches him jumping with a little tin can on his hands but you snatch it.

“You can't eat sweets before lunch”

“But dad always eats gummies before leaving”

“Those are collagen gummies for his joints, not sweet ones” The kid pouts and runs off to his room, in response you only roll your eyes and return the treat to the kitchen cabinets “you need to eat something. There is toast, some cereal…”

“Cereal is good” it isn't often that he gets hounded to take care of himself, Elias would sometimes tell him off for overexerting himself or peel him apples whenever he inevitably ended up in the infirmary, but the fuzzy tingling in his chest at being taken cared of by someone else tickles a part of his brain so nicely.

Allowing himself to be swayed by the arm pulling him into your arms and down to the sofa, he feels coddled like a sick little child.

A hand rakes his hair while both of you look at the empty wall in front of the sofa until a tiny bit squeaky voice whines.

“Hey! Don't cuddle without me!” your kid's voice whines as he throws himself at his dad's stomach, attempting to burrow between his parents and almost making the bowl slip from Haru's hands.

“Be careful! You are going to make a mess with the milk!” Even as you chastise him you still throw an end of the blanket over his head, encouraging him to burrow further and you yourself lay your head on Haru's, making a sort of cocoon with hugs and blankets.

Your warm breath as you laugh fans against his skin causing goosebumps but he leans against you, cheek resting against your collarbone and his ear just snug enough against your skin to catch the heartbeat lying under it.

“Haru?” You ask him and he lets out an acknowledging hum but you don't relent “Haru? Haru, Haru?”

With each repetition of his name it almost feels like you are getting further and further away from him. It isn't like he would be able to check, his eyelids suddenly weighted down like concrete. Being unable to open his eyes makes Haru notice how the rest of his body is also too heavy to move even one inch.

A heavy hand grasps his forearm, turning it around to show the inner side and pricks the skin to inject something making him progressively harder to hang onto his consciousness. A string of tiny whispers reaches his ears.

“He still doesn't wake up”

“If you account for his less than optimal sleep schedule and the hyperpyrexia from the venom it isn't weird he is still out. Why don't you return to class?”

“Are you sure? I would like to see him wake up before leaving though”

“Luckily you brought him soon enough but he still needs to rest”

The sun is settling down the horizon when Haru wakes up for good, no more fog clouding his mind and his muscles working as he intends. He is able to sit up before a mortkraken student notices he is awake.

“Oh, good, you are finally up”

“Did something happen?”

“seems like one of the snake like anomalies bit you” her eyes screen a piece of paper Haru guesses is his medical record. He does remember having to feed the tsuchinoko hatchlings, it is likely that one of them grew its fangs and bit his ankle without him noticing.

“Even if you are a ghoul you should take care of yourself, you know”

Without paying her much mind he says but gets brushed off “I had such a weird dream”

“The venom or the fever might have made you hallucinate, was it at least a nice dream?”

"very nice"

IRENE STORYTIME BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT TIME I am deeply sorry this will be a little long;;

Irene Relda, also known as "Mademoiselle Ratler" (based on a headcanon by Frankilew on DA in which the mice society changes the last names of those who are of different species, for example Ratigan instead of Flanigan) or "The Witch of Geinburg Street" is a female rodent born as a cross between a rat and a mouse, who lives apart from society due to discrimination and therefore is tired of everyone and everything(?

She is usually quiet and reserved, not showing emotions too often... But she's a gentle sweetheart deep down. And despite having quite the character and strenght, she is always willing to lend a helping hand to those who are not hostile towards her.

VOICE HEADCANON: Miss Spider (Voiced by Susan Sarandon in "James and the Giant Peach")

Irene´s mother was a rat of French origin who worked as a maid after moving to Mousedom, where she hoped to have a good life that unfortunately, she did not find. The father on the other hand was a well-to-do man, a prestigious professor or investigator at Scotland Yard…. But obviously, he could not accept the fact that the world knew that he had had a daughter with a maid who was, on top of that, a rat, so he fired the mother immediately and she took their child with her.

Irene didn't have the best childhood, but she was happy as long as she could be with her mother despite the difficulties she had to face (being a rat in a mouse society, single woman with a daughter who is a crossbreed, etc.). Sadly, there was a point when Irene's mother passed away and the girl had to raise herself from then on.

As she grew up, Irene acquired skills such as cleaning, sewing, and generally doing other household chores. She also knew a lot about herbs since, due to not having many resources, she could not afford to get sick often, so she could resort to the use of plants and natural healing methods.

Thanks to her skills she was able to follow in her mother's footsteps and worked as a maid, offering a good service regardless of the salary, but for various circumstances she was mostly dismissed: either because of her condition, because she was accused of acts she had not committed or simply because the ladies of the household did not like her (or were envious of her for a reason she could not understand).

She worked for a duchess at some point, who was actually a covert criminal who went by the name "Dolleyes" (huge shoutout to @rexmk0153universe-blog for suggesting her name and for helping me come up for so many ideas for this sequel au!!): her plans were based on getting in touch with or marrying rich men and then murdering them in order to keep their posessions.

One unfortunate day Irene witnessed one of the Duchess' crimes, so in exchange of her silence, she was fired (although she took revenge later… Let's say she offered Dolleyes an apology cake that had a dirty surprise and that hurt the noblewoman's ego while the queen of Mousedom witnessed everything (?) basically that cake scene from "The Help".)

From that humiliation, a lot of rumors about Irene began to spread. They said things of the sorts that she was a witch who stole valuables, tricked and seduced husbands, kidnapped children and ate them, or poisoned and even cursed those who upset her.

From the moment the rumors began, Irene had more difficulty getting a job because no one wanted to hire her, so she lived hand to mouth, and (perhaps do clothing comissions from time to time). The only hope she had was to be able to save enough money to go to France, which was her mother's homeland and where they wanted to return years ago before she died.

What Irene did not know though, is that shortly after she was going to help a very injured person one rainy night without knowing that it was a criminal mastermind. And from then on her life changed and she went from living alone having to endure the antics of a villain 24/7.

Irene's relationship with Ratigan fluctuates. They generally argued and disagreed in nearly everything- But there was a point when she realized the subtle detail that he never called her "rat" or something negative in relation to that aspect of her being, which she found strange considering he seemed to detest rats and he flatly denied being one himself… But out of respect, Irene didn't call him that any longer (although there were many times when she made him angry on purpose because knowing that he couldn't do anything to her in his current state amused her and one time she even used his old bell to tease him, which she took from Basil's house).

Regarding Ratigan's bell, the detective planned to search for it himself, but just then Olivia arrived with a reformed Fidget and volunteered. The bat, however, told her not to do it since he was paranoid that the professor was alive, even though he had been presumed dead after his fall from Big Ben… But Olivia's curiosity was greater and she prepared to investigate on her own. In fact, upon hearing the rumors of the witch she felt more convinced to continue (in some Disney Adventure comics, she and Fidget investigated paranormal events, so I imagine she likes that stuff).

In the end she arrived at Irene's house, but the woman tried to intimidate her and throw her out without Ratigan finding out that the girl was there. To her surprise, Olivia returned a few days later and repeatedly.

Ratigan eventually found out that Irene was talking to Olivia, but suddenly offered the lady a deal… If she approached Basil through Olivia and managed to get the detective to lower his guard in order to take him down, Ratigan would leave her home as soon as he recovered, never to return, and would give her the money she needed to travel to France.

Irene, in order to get the professor off her back, accepted, and technically the scheme worked through the means of seduction (to Ratigan's confused displeasure because he had mixed feelings about Irene as the plan went by) but Basil snapped out of it soon enough and Ratigan lost again and fleed… He didn't give Irene the money however-

She and Basil talked things out later though, apologizing for trying to trick him. Despite how the two would clash at times, Irene and the detective got along rather well, and from that point she helped him and Dawson with some of their cases, one of them which involved Dolleyes, who intended on marrying Ratigan only to kill him and pull out a Corpse Bride kind of plan after...

She also grew close to Olivia and Fidget, specially the latter since he ended up becoming like an adopted son of hers. So in their own ways, slowly, they heal together from the loneliness and mistreatment they had recieved on their lives.

(Also yes the "caling people by any last names but their actual one" thing will be a running gag hehoo)

The Angel In The Devil’s Eyes: Chapter Two

CHAPTER TWO FINALLY WOOOO. Trust me y’all we’re getting to the good stuff I promise. But anyway, time for everyone’s favorite two individuals in TFP to make an appearance ✨

Word count: 1377

The Nemesis is an intimidating place to be. Most certainly not for the faint of heart, the massive ship is quite soul crushing to look at. Entire enemy battalions have fled in despair at the sight of this marvel of engineering. It was nothing short of the grandest war machine made in its time. And with that being said, it stands to reason that the inside was not all that better. Every hall was identical, painted in monotone grey with sharp, jagged, and quite frankly unfriendly appearing architectural details. And standing in one of the many vast, empty corridors is one lone Vehicon, silently shivering outside the doors of the main brig.

It wasn’t everyday that someone like him was summoned to meet with their Lord. And in any other circumstances it would have been a great honor he would have taken pleasure in. Sadly this was not the best of occasions to be standing outside the their Master’s domain. The poor Decepticon couldn’t stop himself from shaking, the noise of his clattering joints akin to falling bolts and screws. He found himself feeling out of breath, regardless of his species not needing to breathe. Yet he found himself inhaling deeply through his intake to try to steady the beating of his spark.

It was starting to feel like utter agony standing outside those doors. Peculiarly there was nothing especially grand about the outside of it. If anything the entrance was only slightly larger in size compared to most areas on the ship. But they commanded your attention, especially when one knew what lay ahead of them. It was a quiet dreadful feeling, to stand on the other side of what many considered The Pits. Yet here he was, patiently awaiting his audience with the one mech that many never walked away alive from.

The mech is so long lost in his thoughts that he startles when the door opens. On the other side stands a Vehicon nearly identical to his own make, only slightly altered due to a higher status in rank. Miner Vehicons such as himself were a lot dirtier, covered in scratches and dents. The Decepticon before him however was in pristine condition, their slim silver frame obviously well taken care of. Considering their location he could only assume that the bot likely worked under Commander Soundwave, probably in communications or analytics.

“ST-3V3, I presume? Lord Megatron awaits your report,” ST-3V3 makes a mental note that this bot’s voice sounds rather feminine. It almost catches him off guard but he quickly composes himself. It wasn’t every day you came across a femme. Quite frankly there just wasn’t a lot of them left these days. Or none that he ever met anyway. There’s a quick, awkward silence before ST-3V3 realizes he should probably say something intelligent.

“U-um yes. Thank you,” Nailed it. What an awesome first impression. There’s another period of heavy silence before the femme shifts on her pedes uncomfortably.

“Are you…going in?” In that moment the gears begin to turn in his processor again, snapping ST-3V3 out of his stupor. He nods hurriedly, bowing his helm as he ushers himself into the room with a quick thank you. He spares a glance behind him while passing the doors, seeing the silver femme slip in behind him to return to her post, not acknowledging him further.

ST-3V3 returns his attention toward the front of the room and immediately resumes his quivering at the sight of his Master’s throne. His Lord looks displeased and agitated, although ST-3V3 can’t tell if it’s just the mech’s natural disposition or whether it’s based on him standing there like an idiot. Probably both. At this point ST-3V3 is positive he has kept their leader waiting long enough and he certainly doesn’t want to waste anymore time. He quietly shuffles forward, unsure of how to delicately tell his personal account of what happened to their most lucrative mine. Oh who was he kidding. He was fragged.

Primus spare him.

* * *

To say that this miserable cycle had gone terribly wrong was an understatement. Now that was not to say a few mishaps did not occur frequently enough. That was impossible to avoid when one surrounded themselves with imbeciles. Not too long ago they had to land on this wretch of neon rocks to well…retire his last Foreman was putting it nicely. Thanks to Soundwave’s overseeing efforts, he had notified his Lord that production here was inefficient. It was nothing short of a necessity to relieve the Foreman of his duties. Megatron hoped that the afterlife was a suitable severance package for his time in service.

Alas that was considered a minor inconvenience compared to what awaited him that dawn. Surely the last thing on his mind was finding out one of their largest fuel deposits on this planet had been ravaged. He had already been informed of the situation before that sniveling excuse of a worker gave his testimony. After the silver titan had to pry it out of him that is. He didn’t lay a hand on his subordinate, but by the Allspark if the miner wasn’t constantly on the verge of passing out just from a single sharp glance. Pathetic, he thought with a scowl twisting on his faceplates.

Yes he had already been aware of what happened in the mines, giving due diligence to his Second in Command. Starscream had been there the previous night for a check in. There had apparently been complaints about workers missing shifts, Vehicons having been reported gone from their posts. Machinery tampered with and parts missing. Subtle things that quickly grew into nuisances and issues. This had been occurring over the course of the last five solar cycles of the planet. All up until the explosive destruction of the deposit, which Starscream himself stated he barely escaped from.

Of course the first suspicion as always was that this was an Autobot raid for supplies. But that idea was quickly shot down, as why would the parasites desperate for fuel destroy the whole supply. Soundwave had combed through some saved security footage, seeing nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing major was out of place or moved. Maybe sometimes the picture quality was a little off or dark, but they couldn’t find anything amiss. There was no trace of Autobots or anyone who could have been the cause. Megatron himself had been ready to throw it out as a freak accident caused by worker negligence. That was…until the distress signal popped up on their ship’s scanners.

Now in any other circumstance, Megatron would have sent scouts to the wreckage and had been done with it. Except that this signal carried the same frequency as a vessel that entered the atmosphere unauthorized. One that had crashed here five solar cycles ago. His SIC reported that attempts were made to contact the ship and its pilot as it entered the airspace, but the tracker went offline shortly after. At the time it wasn’t something the warlord was too concerned over. Besides, who knew if the crew or cargo even survived the impact. But then why resurface now?

It didn’t matter to Megatron at that moment why however. He ground his denta at thought of their largest mine here being blown to bits. Someone was going to die for this, regardless of whether or not they were truly responsible. But he had a feeling, a slight hunch, that his mystery bomber came on that ship. And with the reemergence of the tracking beacon, it was without a doubt they were challenging him. Come and find me, he could hear the taunting in the very action.

As Megatron sat on his throne he gazed at the coordinates of the ship once more. A small team and him were set to leave within the groon, taking time to prepare for conflict. Starscream had, too snobbishly for Megatron’s taste, recommended his Master stay, as there was no need for him to waste his energy. The Decepticon General nearly had his head for that. Besides if you want something done right, you do it yourself. He glanced at the screen once more, a rumbling chuckle leaving him as anticipation began to spread. He’d been aching for ages for a proper fight.

Chapter 51- Part 13

I’ll start by seeing how close Crater can get Rotom into the red with Rock Slide…

That’s about as good as it’s gonna get, it looks like. And since I can’t inflict any status conditions, I need to just throw Balls and hope for the best. A Great Ball?

Noooo. Maybe if I waste a few turns, a Timer Ball will work…

Not quite yet…

That was a normal Poké Ball and it was kind of a hail Mary.

so was that one-

BUT NOT THAT ONE! YEAH!!

This one’s pretty straightforward, it’s just a cool-sounding name based on “plasma”, since that’s like…half of Rotom’s whole deal.

And the power didn’t even come back on…back to the darkness we go, I guess…

Seriously, how many times is Xera gonna haunted by her past failures to save people? First Mal, then Rue, now Plasmus? Well, at least Plasmus was a bit more polite about it compared to the other two.

But that Egg still hasn’t hatched yet, hm. Can’t be much longer now, though- I’ll just go back and forth across the bridge until it does.

Yup, that sure is an Axew, as I expected from my own deduction and also my source of info saying it prematurely-

Anyways, a sagaris is an ancient type of weapon- usually a battle axe- used by a bunch of ancient peoples, from Eurasia to Western and Central Asia. And given the Axew line’s association with axes, it seemed fitting and cool-sounding. Speaking of, let’s see that PokéDex entry-

Nice, I love information.

Now, before I end this chapter off, I wanna look at that Read-Out for Inverse Field- not sure when an Inverse Field will come into play, but you never know, I wanna be prepared.

Well, first of all, there’s the inverse type matchups, as expected:

That’s like…the main thing this Field has going for it, but it’s a big thing so I’m not surprised. But it affects other stuff too, like Stealth Rocks and the type effective damage from strong winds. Sadly, there’s no safety from Freeze-Dry for Water-types, but Abilities that give type resistances or immunities still work. Also, Flying-types are not considered grounded, and the Magical Seed raises the five main stats by one stage…but imposes a turn of recharge?? That effect sucks, what the heck?

Anyways, there are still more encounters to find, but I’ll take care of those ones in the next chapter. And after that…it’ll be time to challenge Luna! The ninth Gym Badge…at that point, we should be more or less at the game’s halfway point! I’m not entirely sure what to expect, other than a bunch of Dark-types, but…we’ll just have to see.

Other than that, I don’t really have much else to say that I didn’t say in the intro. So with that, I’ll sign out for now! Thank you all for reading and for the continued patience, and I’ll see you all next for the thrilling ninth Gym battle! Until then!

Hmmm.. Facts about

✨turtles✨

(Yk, I might actually make a seperate blog for these)

Anyway, I’ll be talking about the difference in tortoises and turtles first. Tge difference in turtles and tortoises is their shell.

Tortoises have a more rounded and thicker shell while turtles have a more water-dynamic and thinner shell. Turtles are also more used to water while tortoises spend most of their time on land.

Turtles don’t only have flippers and are able to walk on land. Here I’ll take the eastern box turtle as example.

They have ‘legs’ but can still swim quite good, although they are not the best swimmer, sea and pond turtles can obviously swim faster and therefore better, they will still want to spend most of there time by water. This is because they are a semi-aquatic species. They need humid and damp conditions, that is because their hatchlings dehydrate very quickly.

And what kind of monster would want to dehydrate and kill this little creature??

Anyway, I’m pretty sure that what I said about box turtles also counts for other semi-aquatic turtles. Now moving on to sea turtles,

So I’m pretty sure we have all heard atleast once about sea turtles. Sea turtles, sometimes called marine turtles, are in the reptiles of the order Testudines. Sea turtles are one of the kore ancient animals of the planet. There are only 7 species, and if anyone wants I can make a whole post about every single one of them.

One of my personal favourites is the leatherback turtle. So I’ll probably be talking about them for the biggest part. Like you can see, tge leatherback turtle is the biggest one.

Leatherback turtles are the heaviest non-crocodilian reptiles, reaching up to length of 1.8 meters, in other words, as big as the average grown male. (68% of the grown men are around 1.75 meters, which actually makes the turtle bigger than most of them). They also weigh over 500 kilos. (Although I’m not sure. The source is saying that they weigh 500 kilograms, which would not be logical at all).

Now, about sea turtles, they are not fish. They are reptiles and have lungs. Those lungs are obviously not the same as mammalian lungs. They need to go up to the surface to breathe. When in a resting state they can stay underwater for 2 hours.

Sea turtles can also get stranded. This in sadly not uncommon and happens quite often in the winter. They pretty much get frozen and become ‘cold-stunned’. This happens to loggerhead and Ridley turtles.

Fun facts about sea turtles, they don’t have teeth. Their mouth is similar to one of a snail. Now, some people might find this picture a bit disturbing, so im just saying, if you don’t like a black hole with spikes sticking out, you might want to skip this picture

Not something I’d want to stick my hand in.

Sea turtles eat jellyfish btw. I think it’s pretty easy to tell how they eat those jelly fish.

Now moving on to the pond turtles,

There are 50 different pond turtles species. The largest species of pond turtles are the Heosemys grandis’. (Also called the giant Asian pond turtles)

I can’t really find a lot about them.

So, now we can get to my favourite part, the fun facts. (Jeez this was fun to research lol)

Okay, so, turtle is actually an umbrella term for approximately 200 species of terrapins, turtles and tortoises. Aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles have webbed feet. They live in ponds. And sea (marine) turtles have flippers.

Sea turtles have to get onto land to lay eggs. They always do this at night to not get disturbed. Also, touching turtle eggs is actually illegal. (So don’t do it. Please)

You know how turtles have shells, right? Well, that shell is made of around 50 bones combined! The top part of the shell is called ‘carapace’ and the under side is called ‘plastron’.

I’ve talked a bit about the leatherback turtle, right? The fun facts about them is that they’re actually named after the shell. Their shell is pretty much made out of leather/a leathery texture.

Now, turtles (talking about the umbrella term thingy) can all get quite old. Tortoises can get up to 100 years old! Sea turtles can get to the ripe age to 50. And sweet water turtles can get up to the age of 30-40 years.

See this silly thing? This is the African helmeted turtle. He looks very innocent but they are actually carrion eaters and can be quite vicious in its quest for food. This silly little thing has been witnessed drowning doves and other prey, dragging them to the depths of ponds to dine. No thank you.

And that was all (for now).

Have a great day! :D

Flore'gez The Methonasian

@sweetpeaches666 @simply02artists

(Warning:Mentions of child abuse, abduction, trauma and heavy mentions of things here be warned.)

•Flore'gez is one of Ben's Donor's of his Methonasian transformation (aka Swampfire.) And making Flor one of Ben's dads he's about 29-30 years old so about his prime he's very young. Unlike his other dad's tho he didn't willingly give his DNA to Myaxx it was Bad Myaxx still insisted which nearly got her head cut off,burned and probably impaled on a tree

•He didn't willingly gave his DNA up well he did technically he was just convinced by Myaxx who is about 1 inches to be cut off in half by Flor 😅 but eventually he gave in. But with clarification from Myaxx and her praying she won't die too early he let her go on the condition if anything happened with his DNA or whatever they used on it he will come after her and destroy what was used to his DNA. In fear she immediately bolted with his DNA and Flor just going back to business.

•Flor adores children very much.. seeing them frollic and play warmed his heart and such innocence they pose.. he gets aggressive and so overprotective of any children if harmed.. he's like a beast who guards his own kits even if they weren't his own. He never hated any children not even if let's say Albedo was turned into a 5 year old child of Ben he would take him in with no question. (Picture Albedo would be confused and terrified with the whole situation, in Flor's eyes child is child plural.)

•Ben's other dad's would have mixed feelings with Flor. On the other hand they saw him a monster but also some felt bad. They have never seen such a being so broken and brought back together it was like finding peices of a mentally sane person in a black ocean. Galapagus tried to help him but you can see he wasn't successful. he he's beyond his own mind now. the only thing that makes him move is if he's out "Hunting" or when he's near people he loved which is Ben.

•He never hurts Ben's other dad's the good ones atleast (he liked Galapagus, Prisoner 775, Tetrax and a few others because they have either went through the same as him or felt bad. Galapagus wanted to help him) for just being people who understand him or try to help him the evil ones.. well let's just say he once nearly tied Transyl at a tree and waited for the sun to rise. Dissapointingly Transyl still lived because Ben didn't want that and also because Ben and his human family is there.. he doesn't want them to witness someone dying. Maybe one day he could chuck Transyl in the sun.

•Flor hates Royal people or Prideful aliens in a way.. (they also were like "Him") because when the war happened before Flor was left alone an orphan he roamed the desolate place of what was once Flor's home. Flor basically roamed around the universe fleeing from his home after seeing such devastation until he was taken in by some not so good crowd. Flor thought he had found someone he can depend on.. what a mistake he thought.

•Flor wasn't initially bad or did what he does out of just because he wanted too back then he has normal life, two loving parents and he's actually technically royalty in a sense back home in Methanos his father was a Cheif, sadly that was when War was still raging through the galaxies. Flor's parents were the unfortunate cost of this fight both dying in eachothers embrace to save there species. And hopefully for there son to survive.. Flor's Parents are both males (yeah they gay :D) one of his dad's is Gladious he got his intimidating face from him also his beauty. And his name is based on the flower Gladiolus flowers, they represent a lot of things and ones of those they can mean strength and perseverance, while other times, the long flowers symbolize remembrance and the honoring of passed loved ones. And his other dad is Bellis which is a nod to the daisy flower that represents purity, innocence, new beginnings, joy and cheerfulness. He's a little silly and Ben might have got that sillyness and joking attitude Swampfire actually resembled him.

•Flor owns a trench coat. Which wasn't his. The trench coat used to belong to an owner and leader of the not so good crowd mentioned he was at the top highest of wanted criminals for Child kidnappings, illegal market, Poaching of Alien species and many more this person owned a lot of people for his bidding an empire. His group went to Methanos after seeing the devestation they were there to steal loot but they found something even better. A Methonasian Child.. from then on they used this child as new game Flor realizing he was used as a pawn after so long snapped and proceeded to kill him and everyone he never left one unscathed.. those who did survive bow down before him in fear. He ruined the trench coat and remade it in his own style ereasing every part of that man especially his smell. Flor's own wax fragrant skills play here now. but it still stays as a testimony for his acheivement.

•He has many scars and bruises from his past that he refused to show even to others like Ben so he wore large and long sleeved clothes he looked more like a typical dad would but he doesn't always liked wearing others that aren't his trench coat because he never liked how he looked. In Methanos he's considered beautiful not just for his colors but his eyes and his body which is feminine despite him being male. His eyes were beautiful Amber and below is a mixed of purple which made it look like his eyes were the setting dawn of the morning.. a rare exotic beauty.

•Flor was manipulated, bred and born to fight that is his purpose the purpose those people ingrained in his head.. "doesn't matter if you live or not, as long as you get the job done.. you are useful"

•they used Flor's greif and anger against his better judgement and turned a child into a killing machine. Other than being a teen at a young age.. the kicker would have been that they made him do other stuff. Other than stealing, killing, drug dealing and other stuff. He was used as entertainment for sick people in clubs.. and Flor didn't even had a choice if he wanted too he only obeyed. And he came back the next day with those aliens paying with grins.. he only looked down and said nothing.

This is also part of that scenario where he does so we'll undercover in Clubs and in the night. It's basically second nature.. even if that didn't stop the trauma he had endured in a young age. He also felt grief for all those children he has neglected in his care when he was still that man's pawn. He always reassured and played with those children they called him there "big brother" because he's the only thing they had to one maybe even slipped to "Dad" frankly he didn't knew either and he was a victim of manipulation when he found out what happened to those children who went through the door and never came back.. he lost his mind that day and his greatest failure.

•Flor has Trauma and Insomnia in some cases he also has Hallucination hearing and seeing things his mind is warped in every way of reality.

•He owned a giant Tetramand Pole Axe he got it after ambushing a female Tetramand in Methanos. But he claimed it as his own now and as his new favorite weapon amongst a few others.

•He does love Ben even if Ben hadn't met him yet but when he found out he has a son he immediately tracked him and when he found out who his son is.. and what his life is.. he is set to protect him. In the shadows. Until Ben met him one night after getting news that some bad guys are up to no good only to find Flor covered in blood and the start of there meeting.

Flor up close.

(Originally he is gonna be in Sweeetpeaches666 au of Shapeshifter Ben AU but I got hooked with my character and now he's officially my oc other than the Shapeshifter Ben AU there is a lot more I wanted to add about Flor and a few wrong grammar's 😅 and more about Flor but maybe some other time.. and it's also near Christmas so merry Christmas 🎄🎁!)

Vulpini

(From top left, to bottom right: red fox, fennec fox, cape fox, corsac fox)

Vulpini is a tribe (taxonomic rank below subfamily, and above genus) comprised of true foxes (The genus Vulpes) and the fox-like Otocyon and Nyctereutes genuses. It is also the sister tribe of Canini.

(Take a wild guess what species this fella is)

With some exception, members of Vulpini closely resemble the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). For example, small size (relative to other canines, such as wolves or coyotes), bushy tails, and prominent ears are traits generally found within Vulpinids. Alright, stage set, lets get into it.

The best scientific name

(Thought I was gonna say the red fox, didn't ya?)

The corsac fox, Vulpes corsac (vulpes means fox, I cannot find the meaning of corsac) so, the corsac fox's scientific name, is a word meaning fox, and the word corsac... this is about as good as it gets, friends.

Honorable mention(s): Vulpes zerda, Vulpes Vulpes

The littlest baby

(SO CUTE)

The fennec fox's (Vulpes zerda) ears are just about the only big thing about it, they're not just the smallest fox, but the smallest Canid (true canine) as well.

Males are 15.4 to 15.6 inches (391.16-396.24 mm) long, not counting their relatively long, 9.1-9.8 inch (23-25 cm), tail. Females are generally even smaller, coming in at 13.6 to 15.6 inches (34.5-39.5 cm) long, their tails are the same length. They weigh 1.5 to 3.5 pounds (0.9-1.4 kilograms)

Honorable mention(s): Blanford's fox, cape fox

The weirdest

(AKA: Chinese/Asian raccoon dog, mangut, and neoguri)

The common raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) They are not a raccoon, or a dog, but a fox-like canine.

They're such lil weirdos! They look like raccoon in color palette, but don't really have the right body structure, so uncanny, yet cute.

Also, they're one of few canids to climb trees (but they aren't arboreal) AND they're the only canid to hibernate, their survival depends having enough extra fat built up for Winter.

Honorable mentions: Fennec fox, bat-eared-fox

The most Vulpini-y

(Was there ever any doubt?)

Vulpes vulpes, need I say more? I mean, just look at it, it (and its scientific name) screams fox.

They are unique in their highly adaptable nature, sadly they're a bit too good at it. Red foxes are very invasive, considered one of the world's 100 most invasive species, a list by the IUCN which includes not just animals, but all types of species, even viruses, so yikes.

Ironically, despite their name they are often afflicted with melanism and leucism, conditions which alter their pigmentation and therefore color.

Honorable mention(s): corsac fox, arctic fox

The biggest baby

(Haha, they friends)

Measuring at 22-32 inches (56-82 cm) with a 14-16 inch (35-43 cm) long tail, they are suprisingly light for their size, weighing just 15 pounds (2.7-6.8 kilograms)

Honorable mention(s): Arctic fox

My favorite

(I'm big enough to admit a lot of the reason I favor them is because they're amazingly cute)

Their huge floppers are multi-purpose-ears, not just giving them amazing hearing, but they also help to dissipate desert heat! They can go for long (I can't find out how long exactly) without drinking water, getting hydration from food or licking dew, they are the only carnivore in the Sahara Desert able to do so.

The thickness and color of these lads' fur helps with the heat as well.

Honorable mentions: Arctic fox, bat-eared-fox

The most threatened

Woohoo! Yeah! No picture, you know what that means?! It seems all Vulpinids are least concern, the least endangered possible rank on the IUCN's system.

Nice.

UNDERTSTANDING HOW CRUSHES WORK!

Ross E F Lombardi .

FUCKING CRUSHES! They are not magical They are not mystical They are just the brain being lazy. There is a reason most people have ‘a type’. .

TRY THIS! Make a list of all the similarities good and bad between your present crush and the all the last emotionally charged relationships you ever had. It does not matter whether the relationship was good or bad, only that is was emotionally charged, In fact, past toxic relationships get double points when you make you similarity with your present crush list!

Dull or less emotionally powerful experience barely count at all! - IF at all! – Even if those experience are good positive ones!

The brain is lazy and the whole human body is designed to reduce any resource use.

When you have a series of strong emotional experiences, especially the bad ones, it creates mental pathways, not unlike Pavlov dog conditioning.

Carving these hormone trenches is a heavy expensive business and gets ever more expensive the older you get.

When your brain is seeking a new partner, to keep trigging its addictive endorphin love fix.

It COULD (but it won’t) look for a more suitable partner – One that is logically good for you.

Creating new pathways from scratch, using a load of new resources…

OR As it has all these unused pattern pathways that are already well trodden and kinda just sitting there but not being used,

INSTEAD,

It could just recycle the old pathways and slap a different person’s name on the label.

And guess which way is easier?

Guess which one saves resources?

You hindbrain will just shrug its shoulders and say,

“I mean, I do happen have all these perfectly usable ready-made paths just lying around,”

“It seems a shame, just to waste them!”

“Why bother making any new ones?”

Your hindbrain does not give two shits if you make the same mistakes over and over again,

Just as long as it can generate its internal chemical love potion fix with the minimum of effort!

So, you develop “a type”.

You find yourself attracted NOT the person that IS actually There,

But instead, you are secretly attracted to all the similarities to past romantic experiences that you imagine THIS person has!

Same hair colour? Same eye colour? Same curly hair?

You want to know my physical type?

Look at a photo of my ex-wife of 30 years!

Want to know my romantic personality type,

Learn how all the large overflow ducts were carved into my mind, from the people that have affected me the most!

Same feelings of being unworthy of them? Perhaps? Let’s tick that box!

Similar education level?

Same tilt of the head?

Are they condescending while at the same time seeming both patent and understanding? Let’s tick that box to!

BINGO!

Yep, sounds like most of my entire past love life to me!

It all adds up,

And like a flow of water the little electrical pulses take the path of least resistance, making those same tired, well-worn, brain gutters even slightly deeper and easier to use again for next time.

Tick all the right boxes and guess what!

YOU WON A BRAND NEW CRUSH!

A crush that you never wanted! – Slapped together clumsily from reused broken parts in a new bullshit packaging claiming, “New and improved”

No magic! Nothing mystical! Just that crappy brain of ours being lazy. – Again!

Understand THIS!

We humans are NOT divine!

We were never divine!

We are just yet another beast species with self-deluding gimmicks!

All hormones, and basic instinct with shitty masks of intellectual justification and thin veils of self-licencing.

So, if you have a stupid crush?

But - Surely knowledge is power? Right?

How does knowing this help?

Sadly, it doesn’t!

You can’t fight biology!

Mother nature always wins!

And to her – Mother Nature - You are just another one of her mere dumb, disposable beast. – No different from any wolf, cow, otter or pig.

So, when I get a crush,

Despite knowing stuff! – It wont matter!

It WILL STILL feel magical, It WILL STILL feel mystical,

And it Still WON’T be!

I know this shit!

Yet, I will STILL feel helpless, and silly, and giddy, and be epically stupid beyond all rational reason!

Because us all humans are dumb arses.

And I am stuck being human.

Therefor, despite knowing the science, I am just as stupid about this crap as everyone else!

But I am unfortunately get to also be smart enough to know that I am being stupid,

So, I get to beat the crap out of myself for being a dumb ass!

Your only hope is to “wait it out”.

Wait for you stupid ‘drug pusher’ mind to eventually realise that its attempt to ‘get you addicted’, is not worth the effort!

As you emotional heart, acts like a crack addict whore, begging for its craved love hormone drug fix!

“Just one more glance!”

“Just one more conversation” – “Just enough ‘bad medicine’ to take the edge off!

“I wont ever ask you again! Honest”

Your heart begs and lies,

And meanwhile you brain moans and whispers,

“Dude! Come on Man!”

“Stop make me work so hard to get my product to my junkie hooker!”

Yep! - Your only hope is to “wait it out”.

And while you wait YOU WILL Suffer!

And dream of “Them”

Being human sucks!

Well, since the name of the blog is Cycadelic (can you believe that name was available? Because I can't. What have you been doing, plant people?), I feel it only appropriate to kick things off with a post on cycads.

That wild-looking palm-like thing in the picture above is a cycad. They're not palms. They're more closely related to pines and other conifers, and are grouped within the gymnosperms. (Palms, incidentally, are technically speaking grasses, albeit very weird grasses.)

Cycads are long-lived and start life looking more like a fern with a big, if short, trunk. Over time, they get taller and assume a more tree-like appearance. They reproduce via cones. They're a very old plant lineage; of the seven known cycad families, five are extinct.

I made one attempt at having a potted cycad, and I managed to kill it unfortunately because I really didn't understand what I was doing. That's not to say they don't make good houseplants. Given the right conditions, they can thrive. They need a good amount of light and humidity, which was just unfortunately not something I could offer my cycad at the time with my then-living-arragement. The oldest potted plant on record is a cycad living at Kew in the UK; it was brought back from South Africa by Francis Masson in 1775 and has been thriving ever since, although it's now rather elderly and has to be propped up as some cycads tend to droop over as they get bigger and heavier. Interestingly, it produced cones only once, in 1815. And hey, I can appreciate that. Producing cones takes a lot of energy and its not like it needs to make new cycads in its current home. A 209-year vacation sounds pretty good to me.

Cycads live all over the world, but they're sadly in decline, with around a dozen species severely threatened. As they're a very old sort of plant, having existed concurrent with dinosaurs, this isn't super surprising, and it's pretty cool we still have any around at all.

If you're planning on buying a cycad as a houseplant, do your research first and be sure it's an ethically grown specimen that isn't wild-harvested. This should be the case with all potted plants, but especially those that have fragile populations and often live in equally fragile ecosystems.

Yes!!

These are only my own thoughts. I'd love to hear J K Rowling's ideas on the matter. To see how near or far from her mark I am.

House Elves Love to Work. That's what they say about themselves. That's not the same as loving slavery.

Dumbledore offers Dobby quite generous wages and time off. But Dobby gets him down to a bare minimum. NOT because he wants to be a slave. But because he's being true to his species nature. (I may be quoting wrong here..)

'Dobby likes freedom. But he likes work better.'

The only place where House Elves seem happy is Hogwarts. There they are well treated, with good conditions.

So how were they enslaved? I'd love to be able to ask J K Rowling the back story of it.

For the moment this is my theory.

Elves love to work. They encounter magical humans who offer them a deal.

Elves come and do work in their homes. In return the elves get shelter, food and protection.

The fact that the elves have their own magic is initially respected. They are free to part company with a human family, if they feel that the exchange is no longer fair, or they are unhappy.

Then someone decides that having this elf around is just too handy to lose. So they find a way to bind the elf into serving their family forever, or until he/she is gifted with clothes.

Sadly this disgraceful idea spreads rapidly, and the elves are no longer free.

To my mind the worst thing about this slavery is that it uses the fact that the elves like to work and be of service against them. As much as the magic at work. And yes. It's vile.

No. I don't think they like being slaves. But they like being of service. And if they are thrown out of a family, they feel terrible, because it's probably like losing a limb to them. Like a dancer who can no longer dance, or a musician that can no longer play.

Hermione messes up, despite the very best of intentions. Because she fails to take into account the needs and wants of the house elves themselves.

Even Dobby, who loves being free, doesn't want the wages and time off that Hermione wants to get for his kind. The other Hogwarts Elves certainly don't. They won't clean any room that contains the hats knitted by Hermione. In fact her gesture appalls them.

They LOVE being at Hogwarts. Wasn't it Helga Hufflepuff that started the practice of having elves at the school, and making sure they were treated well?

Dumbledore certainly makes sure the practice is continued. He apparently is quite happy for them to call him 'crazy' if they want to.

Hermione's heart's in the right place, bless her. But she's just not reading the room, in this case.

Now. Are they tied to Hogwarts whether they like or not? Or could they ask to leave if they wanted to? I'd like to know.

But. As the point is whether House Elves Like Being Slaves or Not.

No. I don't for a moment think that they do.

Rowling creating a race that was happy being slaves was kinda fucked up, actually

Name: Eldrigma Nickname: Shadow Man, The Mystery, Forgotten One, The Last Tacenscous Age: 4598 Gender: Male Birthday: ??? Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual Ethnicity/Specie: Tacenscous Personality: Cold, Quiet, Stern, Focused, Intelligent, Direct, Loyal, Protective, Private, Vindictive, Resourceful, Alert, Empathic. Hobbies: He’s not seen to have a lot of hobbies outside of his mission of revenge, mostly spending his free time training, reading spells and upgrading his tools, weapons and armour. However, he does seem to be into stargazing, and enjoys reading a book or two here. Family:

??? - (Wife*Deceased*/While very little is known about him and his species, it is discovered that he did once have a family, with a loving wife that’s name has yet to be revealed. But it’s clear he loved her, as the metal bands around his horns are actually his species version of wedding rings. He has not taken them off since the day his family died, and has no urge to find another lover.)

??? - (Son *Deceased*/Similar to his wife, it’s been found he once had a son, who was a young child by the time he died. While still being rather private about his past, Eldrigma has mentioned to Vesper that his son suffered from a birth defect, and he always despised how people looked down on his own child. So it’s clear he was a loving and protective father.)

Friends:

Vesper - (Ally/Friend?/Eldrigma came across Vesper after she had a brief fight with the Omni Squad kids, almost dying due to her condition. He ended up taking petty on her, sharing his own mana/magic to save her, and in return she now assists him on his path of revenge, as no one has shown her this kind of kindness with the state she was in. Their dynamic is rather complicated, starting off as strictly professional, planning to part ways once they achieved what they wanted. But as time passes, there’s signs they’re starting to care for each other, being two lost souls that might find peace in each other. But with Eldrigma always being so distant, and Vesper untrusting of people, it’s hard to say where it might go.)

Enemies:

Jay Tennyson - (Enemies/Admitly, out of anyone in the Omni Squad, Eldrigma seems to not like fighting Jay the most. He sees the boy as a good person, one with ideals that wants people to follow, and appreciates the kind and forgiving person he is. But sadly they are always bound to fight, with Jay always wanting to get in the way, trying to learn more about Eldrigma, believing he can help. It’s a complicated villain vs hero dynamic, but not even Jay can make Eldrigma stop his path of vengeance.)

Thea Levin - (Enemies/While he doesn’t like fighting Thea, like the rest of the crew, he’s not particularly fond of her either. She’s loud, brash, and clearly doesn’t understand that things she says can sound more rude or hateful than she realises. Given Thea seems to have an issue of seeing things black and white, it sets Eldrigma off, reminding him too much of certain incidents in his past. Also doesn’t help that she is an anodite, another creature from his grim past.)

Malax Shard - (Enemies/He is rather conflicted with Malax, because on one hand her two alien sides he hates, having connections to his past. But on the other hand he knows she is not to be planned for what happened to him, and does take into account how good she is as a leader and person, respecting her choice to fight and protect. So he often stays quiet around her, unsure what to say to her.)

Rook Rilla - (Enemies/He interacts with her the least out of the team, but they still have their opinions on each other. While she can be standoffish, he can tell she is a caring person, given she is the team’s medic. He’s seen her throw herself in danger to protect people, often innocents around them, and that sometimes makes him hesitate. Unlike the others on the team, she can’t really fight him, so he never feels fair to get her involved. But if she chooses to, he can’t really stop her, as she too will get in his way.)

Vanessa - (Enemies/Like Thea, he doesn’t seem too fond of her. Both because of her heratidy and because of her actions and personality. She’s flighty, unsure, and sometimes pushes her luck, with him finding her childish at times. He can respect that she is willing to help out the group when they need it, but highly doubts she has what it takes to be the ruler of Ledgerdomain one day, not unless she cleans up her act.)

Many Alien Species - (Enemies/Whatever happened in his past seems to be connected to many alien species across the galaxy. Such as anodites, galvans, necrofriggins and so on. It’s unknown as to how many he has issues with, or what connects them, but it’s clear he’s out for revenge, and that they did something to him a long time ago. Something that seems to have been erased by history somehow, and it looks like he wants to put them through the same treatment. He sometimes loses his cool around these people, especially those in leadership positions, or old enough to know what might be going on.)

Representing Song: Conquest of Spaces - Woodkid

Skills: Natural Magic/Spell Casting, Enhanced Intelligence, Flight, Natural Strength/Endurance, Knowledgeable On Technology (Even from other races), Crafting/Creating, Minor Regeneration, Represents/Has Powers in Biology, Magic and Technology, Multilinguist, Marksmanship, The gems that grow in between his horns can be harvested to make talismans and runes, Prehensile Tail, Anti-Magic Cloak. Weakness/Flaws/Fears: He does seem to suffer from a form of PTSD and Depression, still dealing with grief and anger from his past. He can sometimes lose his cool around certain people, making him briefly lose control over himself. While he can regrow the gems in between his horns, if he loses them all his magic will struggle to work properly. He’s not good with connecting with people, even someone like Vesper, preferring to suffer silently, and never wants to choose another option that isn’t revenge.

i'm losing hope of byler being an endgame :( milevens say that we are invalidating mileven, besides having several scenes that they show "passion/love". they make fun of us, besides always giving reasons why mileven is an endgame, and disrespecting other people's ship, and maybe actually Will will be with another boy right?? idk but I really hope I'm not being deluded

lol lets not focus on byler for a sec and mostly discuss mileven. what scenes show mileven’s ‘passion/love’? Because the show invalidates mileven constantly-why they’re so aggressive/afraid of us.THEY KNOW IT’S DOOMED (they live in head canons and nothing else). I’m going to try keeping this short by doing bullet points.

-The writers in s3 threw in a telemarketing joke just for Mike to say “El. no. sorry not interested” and hang up the phone.

- Flo in s1: “only love makes you that crazy and that damn stupid.”

Mike: “if we’re both going crazy. we’ll go crazy together right?”will: “yeah, crazy together “ *smile and stare longingly at eachother *————————————————————-Mike: “they do say it makes you crazy”El: “what makes you crazy?”(the exact opposite of crazy together as she continues to be confused over every explanation he gives of love 😂)————————————————————-During the byler fight Mike says “el’s not stupid!” After this, Will calls himself “ so stupid “ 4x . rips up photo where they said they’d go crazy together and cries . But, El after fighting with mike happily says: “there’s more to life than STUPID boys .” El’s catchphrase being “not stupid” which she says in s2 before going to see Mike at the school. And Nancy before Mike says he loves El / Mikeduring the byler fight (about mileven) say “El’s not stupid!”

original gifs sources

-the s3 stobin confession parallels mileven’s s3 shop confession (full analysis in link). Both El/Robin have bandages on their legs and both pairings sit together (on the floor) during their confessions- and are interrupted by Dustin. And in both straight baits- the guys use the terms “stupid/crazy” but subvert the expectation of it being romantic-as both girls say they’re not “crazy” or “stupid” for the guy. El saying “what makes you crazy?” in response to Mike. And Robin saying she was not into Steve’s “stupid hair” (similar to El saying there’s more to life than ‘stupid boys’/other saying she’s not stupid.”Also the song ‘the first i love you’ only plays twice in s3. During Steve’s romantic confession and robin rejecting him because she’s gay & El’s romantic confession and awkward kiss with mike (where Mike doesn’t reciprocate). Cause Robin/Mike are both gay and will reject the romantic confession.

- Erica making he-man and barbie kiss: “Hey , They’re in love!”Lucas (livid- and standing right next to a rainbow forcing them apart): “No, actually, they’re not. they’re not even from the same planet.” El even watches he-man in s1! Mileven is not in love!

Cue El and mike being compared to ET and Eliot -WHO AREN’T FROM THE SAME PLANET (by the Duffers in multiple interviews and in the pilot script ) . And then there’s the old euphemism of “girls come from Venus, and boys come from Mars”. The Duffers saying mileven isn’t in love cause they’re not from the same planet (aka the same gender) -is just them telling us Mike is gay so he can’t fall for El-who is a girl/diff species. They literally have Will say to Mike “welcome to my world” as a contrast. So El telling mike he should ‘stick with his own species’ (aka boys) is another gay hint.

In s2 they even had El wear the same shirt as a 1986 movie character (staring Winona Ryder). The movie is called coincidentally “lucas”- and he’s in an unrequited romantic relationship with a gal named maggie. And he later says him and Maggie are from “different worlds.” El being movie-Lucas in a unrequited romance, in this scenario. And the other easteregg is the Duffers have st-Lucas say the “planet/worlds” similar to movie-Lucas.

some milevens also attribute romeo/juliet to mileven cause Dustin mentioned it while mileven was out of shot. But romeo & juliet weren’t actually in love-it was just kids in infatuation. And also used to describe the unrequited infatuation of Lucas/Maggie.

-Also when dustin in s1 says el is “like a wizard” (like Will.) Mike corrects dustin and says “more like yoda”. Really hammering down the alien references- which the Duffers reference to el in interviews all the time-by comparing her to et . In the pilot they even said mike and el are like “Eliot and et.” They said they made el dress like a ghost cause et did so- and then for the extra burn they made mike a ghost hunter/buster. And they also said that EL’s makeover in s1 was like et’s in the movie. And sorry ... who compares the girl they “crush on” with a green gross alien (yoda)- kind of shows how he sees her more as this foreign superpowered entity rather than a girl/crush. And on what planet is et /Eliot romantic??Answer is -it’s not.

- In contrast, They have Mike and Will parallel Diane and Venkman. In ghost Busters, Mike -is Venkman- and Will -is Dana Barret- who Venkman flirts with shamelessly until she is possessed. Dana finds a demon-dog in her fridge, and hires the ghost busters. And right before Venkman goes on a date with her she is possessed by the big-bad, Zuul, and is transformed into the gate-keeper (who controls demo(n)-dogs). Venkman proceeded to try to talk to the real Dana , ignoring her possessed form and eventually realizes how serious her condition is, is forced to sedate her. Eventually with the help of his team, Venkman closes the gate to Zuul’s dimension, rescuing Dana in the process. And Venkman plants one on Dana before riding away in triumph. While, El is a ghost and Mike is a ghost hunter XD

Notice in the same season lucas says mileven is ‘not in love’ and compares mileven to he-man and barbie . Dustin has a he-man & Et next to each other (along with a ghost buster sign above them, and the ghostbusters-trap next to et). This just reinforces the mileven eastereggs I’ve already talked about - and how they want you to make the connections about mileven not being in love. They showed et/barbie next to he-man, had El watch he-man, compared El to Et (who had a barbie-like makeover/ghost costume), so the next he-man ref of ‘not being in love’ cause rhey’re from different planets would connect in a more obvious way to mileven. Same with Et next to the ghost trap and ghost busters sign (and El dressing as a ghost and Mike as a ghost buster-as an extra burn).

- Mike dehumanizing El is hammered down again when they compare s1 mileven to s2 dart /dustin (a demo dog) , to further show how un-romantic it is. Fin even said the duffers told him Mike saw el (OFFENSIVELY) as a “puppy’ (right after s1). And of course millie accurately said “what a horrible way to describe me!”But the parallels are there: Dustin/Mike sharing sweets ( nougat vs eggos) for breakfast and saying they’ll have to wait for them to come home from school. And having mike annoyed, say “a bond? cause you shared nougat?!” is dissing milevens who think the ego thing is cute/romantic. Dustin/Mike saying they ‘promised’ to take care of them and that they ‘trust’ dustin & mike. Dart killing a cat and El almost killing a cat. Dustin/Mike trying to convince Lucas- Dart & El aren’t bad. The boys thinking both El & Dart were bad guys causing both to end up running away because of that. Mike even admits in s1 he doesn’t like eggos and told El she doesn’t have to eat “like a dog” anymore. it’s ironic when Mike says to Dustin “she’s not a dog” cause he treated her as such. Why El says in s3 angrily , “am I your pet?” It’s because he did/does unfortunately treat her this way to some degree.

-They Parallel Mileven to Hopper & El (since mileven isn’t actually romantic)!

*teaching the meaning of promise vs com-promise. And making “promises” to eachother is not some super romantic thing- for just mileven.

* Telling her to eat “real food” vs eggos

* saying her new look is “cool”and saying it’s “bitchin” after El says the look is.

* Saying others are “corrupting her” and in response gals say neither respect her ability to make “decisions” in regards to romance. Hopper not accepting Mileven together (want them to break up) and Mike not accepting she dumped him.

* Max saying to not let Hopper/Mike control her

*El saying “you lie” to both of them

ok , back to listing other points

- they dance to ‘every breath you take’ a break up song about a stalker ex who can’t accept he is now with her friend. The writer of the song also has said many times “it’s NOT a love song.” The duffers obviously knew that. Lumax also danced to it and Lucas was called a ‘stalker’ . El also stalked Mike in s2 (all that stuff milevens found romantic- El watching him without him knowing. Mike says he was not ok with it in s3). And in s3 he said not to do that and she just says ‘i make my own rules’.Plus, sting (the singer) mentions it’s supposed to sound romantic but the lyrics are sinister. And that the ambiguity/deceptive happy -romantic tone was intentional. Kind of like how people think mileven is healthy and in love when the show (ambiguosly says ) that it’s not -and the “opposite”.Just like the song being misinterpreted as romantic because of its deceptive packaging -mileven is the same . Mileven got popular cause everyone missed all the warning signs it wasn’t healthy (cause it was packaged as ‘cute’ and ‘ in love’) when behind the surface it was shown to be the opposite and not healthy.

Not to mention Nancy teaching Dustin how to dance is a direct parallel to Mike teaching El.

Mike also tries to act like Dustin, and forces Will to dance with a girl (who’s wearing a rainbow hair clip). Trying to be a good sport like Dustin is about lumax. And right after this we see Dustin look sad about Max/Lucas dancing and Mike (next to Dustin) look sadly at Will/girl dancing in the same exact frame as Max/Lucas. As they switch between these 2 shots to emphasize their sadness/jealousy.Then they both sit down (mirroring each other) on the verge of tears before Nancy and El show up to comfort them and distract them. As El once again (presumably) wears Nancy’s dress. Mike after El asks “will you be my brother?” “you cant go (to the snowball) with your sister... i mean you can but it’d be really weird.”

- before their first kiss in s1 she asked if he would be like her brother (after being compared to a cousin, and being compared to Holly, and wearing Nancy’s dress.) In s2 they even make a direct parallel to Luke &Leia (who were siblings who had a weird romantic relationship/kissed before realizing they were related). Mike (as Leia) saying “it’s a trap” to El (Luke).

- Mike in s1 writes a d&d story for Will inspired by star wars. in ep one Will tells Mike “it was a 7, the demogorgan it got me.”At the end of the season Mike writes a whole story of him and his friends killing a 7 headed monster, and showing the decapitated head of the monster to king Tristan (Will). Similar to how at the hospital he tells Will to not worry cause “it’s dead now”. This is right after Will rolls a 14 (cause Mike and Will are 7s together). And Mike who is a fan of starwars has King Tristan give them medals after killing the monster. Cause he wants Will/king tristan (instead of Leia -a girl) to present him with medals and be his romantic love interest (and praise him for being a hero).

- They had Dustin call mileven “bullshit” just like stancy (who were never in love). And in s3 for almost every single character in the show to dislike mileven . if that isn’t a cry for help from the writers idk what is XD

other stancy parallels: Making out on a bed to cheesy music. stancy wasn’t in love but they kissed the most in the series and nancy and steve (similar to mileven exchanged ‘i love yous’) but weren’t endgame and it was never love. Mike and Steve sing to their gfs and neither girls are fans and cut them off.In s1, both Nancy/Mike slap Steve and El and then both yell “ What is wrong with you?!” Stancy/mileven are compared to Karen/ted who according to Nancy “never loved each other”. El is a fan of ted’s lazy boy. (Karen in s3 looks at Ted in the chair when the lyric “I should have walked away “ plays). And Steve and ted continuing to eat chicken as their gf /wife storm off from the table upset , and they do nothing. After the mileven and Karen/Ted fight- Steve says while eating “what did I do?what did i do?” And mike while eating says about el after their fight “what did i do wrong? what did i do wrong?!Steve and Ted both tell Mike to “stay on the bench/you’re on the bench.” Karen/ ted that they “never loved each other” (just like mileven and stancy which are “bullshit.”) All 3 wheelers were with people cause it seemed like the rational choice ( rich guy/ popular guy/ girl). Not to mention mike said “ I don’t remember” ( in reference to saying he loved el ) . And doesn’t say it back when el says “I love you”. Which mimics Nancy in s2 saying “I don’t remember ” (saying the stancy relationship is bs) . And she is also unable to say she loves Steve when he says“say you love me.” And Steve and el walking away as both wheelers stand there in silence. Unable to say “I love you” back. Also, when stancy officially breakup it also pans to mileven on the porch as another parallel.And 11byers mentioned (at Christmas) jancy has a moment but despite stancy’s issues she goes back to Steve where she looks sad over the decision . Similar to how Byler have a moment , but then after , mileven talks about christmas and they have that awkward kiss. In s3, steve when talking about stancy and trying to be popular even says “dustin’s right it’s all a bunch of bullshit.” (meaning Dustin’s right about mileven). Steve even says “everything people tell you is important that you’re supposed to care about- it’s bullshit.” (same season Mike mimics Lucas’ words from s1 about El being the “most important thing”.

-They also had Mike tell Max “i don’t hate you. I don’t even know you.” Aka he can’t hate Max or love el cause he knew both for a week-and doesn’t know them. The amount of mileven burns that were in s2 -were insane XD.

other direct contrasts between Mileven & byler

besides the ones already mentioned. 1) ‘crazy together/so stupid’ vs ‘what makes you crazy?/el’s not stupid/more to life than stupid boys & 2) ‘they’re not in love they’re not even from the same planet’ vs byler’s ‘welcome to my world’

3) Mike has drastically different expressions after the byler/mileven fights and the difference in weather and music selection ,convey how Mike is feeling. He looks regretful with Will, and almost annoyed with El dumping him. Mileven breaks up to upbeat music on a sunny day (the break up being in front a crowd and a joke) vs the morose music and the storm shown (with just Mike and Will fighting ). We are supposed to take the byler fight seriously and the mileven one as a joke.They had Mike apologize to Will immediately. But with El he says “what did i do wrong?’ (Kind of like how ted, after pissing off karen says “what did I do?”)And then had Mike wait by the phone for her to apologize- says sexist stuff about her. Then have mike laugh/burp and talk about cheese and El to laugh about the break up/high five max and immediately oggle a pic of another boy/male celeb (unlike Will who looks sadly at the pic of Mike after their fight). And then after staring at the teen-male celeb, El says she’s not sure if Mike’s a good kisser cause he’s just her “first boyfriend” and she has no other boys to compare him to (implying she’s thinking of other boys in the future). Contrasted to Will who said he thought him & Mike would never get gfs but just spend the rest of their lives together. El after all these events, then happily reads comics as Max says she shouldn’t hang out with Mike all the time. VS Will having him sadly read his comic to distract himself only to throw his comic on the ground right before he looks at the pic of mike from Halloween (where they said they would go ‘crazy together’), calls himself stupid (unlike El saying there’s more to life than stupid boys/mike saying El is not stupid-aka in love ). And then destroys castle byers /crIES after the their fight. These events were perfect opposites.

4) When Mike says in the pool shed she’s the “most important thing in the world” to him. she cuts him off and says Hopper is right about them spending too much time together. But when Mike in the shed says asking Will to be his friend was the “best thing he’s ever done” (it was practically the cliche of true love breaking the curse) XD.

When Mike says to El “you’re most important thing to me” in the pool shed. El doesn’t even acknowledge the comment (and neither should the audience- cause the words were empty). The framing of this mileven scene was not cinematic or heartfelt, and neither was the delivery from Mike. He’s not crying, trying to reach her with proclamations of his genuine feelings. There’s no dramatic music, framing, lighting or shot composition (and the scene was incredibly short).And El just responds and cuts his supposed ‘true feelings’ off- only to agree with Hopper and says “ what if he’s right” . I didn’t speed this up FYI.

Juxtaposed to the MUCH longer byler shed scene. A literal single tear falling down his cheek as Mike , recounts the first day they met. This whole monologue is only of tight shots of just their faces (their bodies aren’t shown like in the pool shed scene). With contrasting colors of light and shadow.This is a personal moment between them and them alone- and the fact we zoom in on their faces (expresses this to be important emotionally) . And when we see Will’s reaction to Mike saying “it was the best thing I’ve ever done”. We just see Will’s face only- no music is playing and all we hear is Will’s whimpers and Mike crying in the background.*

5) Max in s2 at Will’s house questions how Mike can still trust Will now that he’s a spy for the mf . Max (in s3) at El’s house: says that Mike doesn’t trust El- and Mike mentions that her spying is why he doesn’t trust her. in s2, Mike: “if anyone could stop them it’s Will“. Max: “ I thought we couldn’t trust him that he’s a spy for the mf now?” Max in s3 calling Mike out : “El has saved the world twice. And Mike still doesn’t trust her.” Mike: you want to talk about trust really?! after... Eleven spied on us! I guess girlfriends don’t lie they SPY!”

Not to mention - the fact is... El has “saved the world twice but Mike still doesn’t trust her” to fight the mf. Yet he 100% believed Will could defeat the mf -despite Will being possessed/a spy for the mf . And despite the fact Mike thinks Will has no powers - unlike El ( but we all know he does , though :P). And, Mike even says Billy is dangerous cause the “mf is in him ...Billy’s mind is sick, diseased” (but with Will possession -Mike still trusted him). Max rolls her eyes and stares challengingly at Mike cause she remembers what Mike said about Will in s2- and the hypocrisy . And she finds it annoying how little faith he has in her compared to his almost unmoving-trust in Will (who at the time was possessed) . Mike has 100% trust and faith in Will-but simply doesn’t trust El. And MAX KNOWS IT! Cause she’s paying attention. Like her facial expression/raised brow, at the end, is a challenge- you think non-superpowered Will could defeat the mf but not El with a history of fighting monsters? You say Billy possessed by the mf is dangerous- but still have more faith in Will possessed by the mf- than your own gf?! tbh El couldn’t defeat the mf (so technically him trusting Will over El was proven to be correct). He wasn’t right about the El ‘giving up’ bs and he was still wrong for not respecting El as her “own person” with her “own free will” : not believing in El’s ability to make decisions like breaking up with him/ not believing El made the idea to spy on him, etc . But, Team work has always been what saved the day in s1-2, so over-relying on El to do it all and acting like she was the messiah ( like most of the st fanbase) was a poor plan . It’s not the El-show (it’s an ensemble cast with several mains). When they relied on her only ,to be the chosen one- she lost her powers, 30+ people d*ed, and they had to save her.

6) ) El and Will both calling for “Mike” alone in the upside down . And Mike “never giving up” on them.In the exact same ep (s2 e2) , both call for Mike from the upside down. El saves herself without Mike’s help. But Mike rushes to save Will crouching to comfort Will (whose body language mirrors El’s but who was alone in the forest after she sees mike and he did nothing).

in s2 ep 1, both call for Mike ,but Mike only comes for Will -not el. It was like how Nancy in s1 called for Jon, and jonathan pulled her out of the upsidedown. And as Jonathan and Mike both pull Nancy and Will back from the upside down , Jonathan says “I got you”. And Mike says “I got him “ twice. But mileven is like how barb while in the upsidedown called for Nancy (but nancy didn’t hear her screaming her name-cause it shows symbolically Nancy does not return Barb’s romantic feelings). Just like mileven.

Mike even saw Will’s dead body but the second he heard his voice he convinced everyone he was alive. Mike deep down assumed El was dead he brushed off seeing El as seeing things (like how Hopper described seeing Sarah). He even tells Max “ they took her just like they took bob” who was dead. Then a few minutes later lies and says he “never gave up” on her when she appears alive (which was a lie cause he just said she was dead). When El goes to his house Mike doesn’t ever go the forest to find her (unlike how Mike went into the forest in the pouring rain twice for Will). The truth is the only person he ‘never gave up on’ was Will.

7) They have El & Will have pics of Mike on Halloween (same night of the ‘crazy together’ speech). El only has a pic of Mike being miserable and Will has pics of Mike staring at Will, and smiling next to him- despite the joke Mike never smiles in photos , this isn’t the case when mike is next to Will (he always smiles with Will). Cause being crazy with Will makes him happy - unlike his relationship with El who he fakes being ‘crazy’ about .

zoom in of Will & El’s pics of Mike: Will’s pic on left vs El’s on right . XD

8) Millie said El is “obsessed with Mike” so she has Mike-themed stuff all over her room. She has a drawing with a heart that says mike on it/random heart pics, mike pic, dice that spell out mike, mikes’ stuff. So, It’s funny that mike has nothing relating to El at his place. In contrast to this, he still has 5 d&d drawings from Will on his wall (that he’s kept on his wall for 3 years despite removing an old poster from that same wall-which he gave to El). Mike even put up a 6th Will-drawing in s3- next to his new poster. And he never put a single 1 of her many drawings on his wall-just Will’s).

back to other points...

- They compared mileven to karen/billy. El in s2 , mimics Erica Kane who m(in the ep she is watching) rushes into a relationship with a writer named Mike Roy. (That relationship is not endgame-and literally ends with one of them stalking and sabotaging their next relationship, but eventually accepting it’s over). This, also parallels Karen/ Billy. Before she meets him in s2, Karen is reading a romance book that has a guy that resembles Billy on the cover. The Duffers even mentioned they changed the cover to show the resemblance between Billy and the fictional book character. And we see Karen reading the sequel in s3 before Billy appears. Both El and Karen don’t/didn’t love Mike or Billy- they just projected onto them fictional characters they were infatuated with. El being into Mike roy- but projecting her crush on to Mike wheeler.

-They had El’s whole s2 arc be destroyed to show mileven is bad for her. “friends don’t lie” to let me lie to my friends so I can kiss mike and ditch them. lucas even said “they’re lying (about her curfew).”And lie to Mike about hearing his confession. Then in s2 trying to leave the cabin to experience the world and see my friends and fam again. To literally ignoring them all for 6 months and never leaving the cabin-despite Hopper letting me leave the house in s3.

- El in s3 says Mike treats her “like a pet” and “garbage”.

-In s1 Mike referred to her as a ‘weapon’ to help get Will back. smacked her when he thought she lied about Will being alive and said Lucas was right about her all along when he thought Will was dead and he couldn’t use her anymore.

- They had El never apologize for spying/stalking . And Mike never apologize for lying -despite it being the cause of the breakup . And had mike not reciprocate the kiss/ or say ‘i love you ‘ back and had his eyes open while the same exact song plays that robin came out to: called ‘the first i love you’). These are the only 2 times the song plays in s3. The ‘first i love you’ also sounds like ‘the first lie’ - that song played when jancy said they were just friends. it sounds the same cause jancy lied about it not being romantic while mileven lied by saying it was. He never apologized for lying cause the love is the lie- like Max said “boyfriends lie ALL THE TIME”. And it’s why the camera panned to Will when Lucas asked why Mike lied to her. And he never answers El’s question of ‘why do you lie?!’ (he just looks up silent and guilt ridden).This awkward kiss all happens in Will’s room too while Mike is in front of an open closet (while El is holding Will’s old bear).

Plus he also fought with Hopper in s2 (’about El’) in Will’s room too. He wasn’t actually calling Hopper the liar he was calling himself “a stupid disgusting liar”out of self hate . That scene was foreshadowing his lying to El in s3 (about his feelings for her). He blamed Hopper for his feelings for Will cause he told himself it wouldn’t have escalated if El had been around to ‘fix him’ . “I BLAME YOU! NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS OK! NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS OK. YOU STUPID DISGUSTING liar, liar, liar, liar”.starts crying.

- Mike says “i never gave up on you (to El). “ When moments earlier he says “it took her just like it took Bob.” HE’S LYING AGAIN. He always thought she was dead -he was just hoping she was alive so he didn’t have to blame himself. He felt bad for treating her like a “weapon”. Mike saw El and didn’t even bother looking for her in the woods cause he assumed she was dead and was hallucinating. Mike saw Will’s dead body- but heard his voice and got him from another dimension (for El he couldn’t even bother to walk into the woods). Despite going into the woods in the pouring rain 2x for Will in s1& 3. El and Mike both call for Mike in the upside down (Mike in the same ep only comes for Will).

- They barely spoke to each other and all they did was makeout for 1 ep (while Mike put a drawing of ‘Will (the fire wielding) wise’ on the wall to help him kiss her/ with rainbows pic everywhere in the room to signify he’s gay and lying). All while listening to a mixtape Will gave him as he kisses El.As Mike moves her hands off him (and sings a song from ‘boy in the box’) and El says to Max later she doesn’t know if mike’s a good kisser . And Mike rushes to one of his many established double-dates with Will and lumax (x). And Mike in s3 when dating el, removes the sign of the heart being propelled by a rainbow (which he had before meeting El in his basement) .BUT it follows him symbolically ,as a drawing of a heart being propelled by a rainbow (in el’s room- cause no matter how much he kisses el there, he can’t escape his rainbow/being gay.)

-as mileven kiss in s3 e1. We zoom in on the drawing of Will the wise (the lyrics over the pic are “a little more time can open closing doors”). And then Mike continues to sing this song from ‘boy in the box’ (cough closet).Will in s3e1 says he won’t fall in love and the song then a diff song plays “love that was new to you , you open up the door.” mileven at the end of s3 kissing in front of Will’s open closet door with Mike’s eyes open not kissing back , and saying he doesn’t “ remember “ the love you and just says it was “in the heat of the moment”. The mike song being from “boy in the box” (closet). And they make out to “I can’t fight this feeling” which the singer says is about wanting to admit your feelings to your friend of many years and being afraid it’ll ruin the relationship. Aka even when kissing El he’s thinking of Will and admitting his feelings and not being able to fight his feelings

- Mike saying about Max “awesome? you don’t even know her.” Dustin says “ i don’t have to i mean look at her.” El was said in s1 multiple times to look like a boy (specifically Will). So Dustin and Lucas had no interest in her -only Mike did. BUT when max (a girl who looked like a girl) arrived- they as straight boys were smitten. And Mike was not interested at all (cause he’s gay). The fact people don’t realize Mike was rude to her because he thought Will liked her too makes me laugh - he even was 1/2 honest in s3 saying he was jealous of her XD

why in s3 (when she looks like a girl) the compliment to her look is almost the same as Hopper’s comment to her makeover in s2. Paralleling Mike to her dad is the opposite of romantic!

-people say in s3 Will saying “a day free of girls” is gay coded but everyone ignores Mike in s3 saying “BOYS ONLY”. Same energy.

-MiKE has more rainbows than Will: Mike’s rainbow bedroom blinds, the rainbow-heart wooden sign in the basement in s1, the rainbow heart drawing that says Mike in s3, a rainbow sticker in his room, byler standing behind a rainbow poster in s2. And Will with the rainbow ship and the girl he danced with having a rainbow hearts-hairclip.

- People mention Mike saving El in s3 was romantic ( when he hit Billy). But when Billy slapped max he charged in to save her too and tried punching him (despite their beef). that moment wasn’t romantic (unless you think madweheeler is- which no). Mike is just a good person- he also risked his life for dustin. He’s brave and will defend HIS FRIENDS.

- we’re almost to the end for those not keeping tract mileven is compared to stancy, ted/karen, karen/billy, stobin, Dart/Dustin, max &mike, barb/nancy, nancy & dustin, siblings & cousins & a parent/kid dynamic. And contrasted to byler.

- Finn, after s1, said the duffers told him, Mike thinks of her as a “puppy/ “et” , and that Mileven was a “first summer love thing”- foreshadowing what was mileven’s downfall during the Summer (aka s3). He repeats this “first summer love” phrase 2x. Millie when he mentioned what the duffers said, rightfully thought the puppy thing was “awful”, but Finn was clearly told mileven doesn’t last -very early on.Summer love” by definition fails-as it only lasts during the summer.

-It wasn’t a break it was a breakup. Like Max and Will said in response to Mike “ she said she dumped your ass! That doesn’t sound like a break?!/ it wasn’t!’ Or El knocking all the candy out of the machine, except the kit kat Mike wanted. Slogan of kit-kat “ having a break , have a kit kat.” In other words, it was NOT a break. It was a breakup. Difference is - in s4 it’ll be El who can’t accept this fact , not Mike. Max having to correct El that Mike is her “ex boyfriend” after the breakup (in s3) foreshadows this.The other couples in s3 who fought -were always still paired together in framed shots (jancy/ lumax) were on a break (but got back together- by the end of s3, not confident about their futures together, but they still have a distinction from mileven-based on such framing). That mileven didn’t get back together. El in s3 was always on her own and Mike was paired with Will (while the other couples were in frame).

this could go on and on honestly. there’s so much other stuff proving mileven is not going to be endgame. Not to mention all of Mike’s queer coding (x) XD

Note

I have the idea of revali who's being an annoying tsundere with reader(kinda the way he acts with link or saying things like "you don't know how lucky you are to be with me") but, one day, reader find a rito mask. When revali sees them, he doesn't recognize them, acts friendly and towards him, making reader fall in love with him. When they confess their love in the rito form, revali deny them saying that he's in love with reader. It can go angst or fluff. Also if the reader could be neutral/male

No problem, it's actually the first time I see headcanons with a male/neutral reader, but I don't deny it, Revali being tsundere it just suits right.

Also, I'm so sorry for taking so long, I imagine a lot of things but it was SO long to write.

I hope you like it ✨

Revali being a tsundere with reader (neutral/male).

At first, Revali is pretty much of a gentleman.

He's not someone who is disrespectful to other people, less with the Rito.

But he's an asshole with Link and, sadly, you.

The most sad part for Link, is that Revali treats you better.

That doesn't stop him for teasing you A LOT.

He seems that he doesn't mind your company.

No, actually, he doesn't even seems like he cares about you.

But you two always find each other together, for some reason.

I wonder what it could be....

He always invites you to practice with each other.

At first it seems like a really good idea, but....

You always find him overworking himself.

Of course, you're worried about him, but if you get any closer, he'll just pretend he's just fine, like nothing happened.

“You seem like you want to impress someone with all that work...”

“Don't overthink yourself... I do it just for the protection of my village”

“I was going around Rito Village, some guards where talking you've been wondering something about sword or other kinds of weaponry, it's weird since you focus so much on archery”

“You have some problem with me want to know more of how the little knight and you fight? Of course I know this stuff already, I'm a warrior after all”

“Hmm... Link is not going to answer anything, but you can ask me if you want...”

“I could never be a problem in your training”

“Then why you have been inviting me to practice here?”

“I want to be sure you are well prepared, and you must feel so lucky, you're being trained for the great Revali, there's no other archer with my skill”

You two always have this kind of conversations, but Revali always finish them with something egocentric like that.

You didn't like him a lot, he sometimes just acted nice but out of nowhere, he starts acting like a douchebag.

But you see him how he treats other people, like princess Mipha and princess Zelda, he treated them kindly.

One day, wandering at a forest, you found a mask.

A rito mask, there was details that resemble their marks, it had some kind of beak.

You out of curiosity, grabbed it and use it thinking it was just a mask.

But seconds after you transform into a Rito.

Terrified you go running to the Rito village, probably to find princess Zelda, Link or other Champion except for Revali.

“Alright... Revali is always on the practice range, there's no way he's gonna be on the same time as you at Rito Village”.

Surprise ✨he was at the same time as you in Rito Village✨

You thought he was going to notice it was you, and start make fun of you.

But he didn't even notice it.

He treated you... Well, normally, with respect, without mocking you or anything.

“I never saw you in Rito Village, are you a traveler?”

You just nodded at that question, in fear he might recognize your voice.

“You can't talk? I have encounter some Rito with that disability”

Oh he didn't even react like he reacted with Link, and you thought he didn't like the ones who don't talk.

You decide to talk, since you don't know how is the sign language with the Rito, and you would not take risks with this.

“No, I do not have any type of disability”

You prayed to Hylia so he can't recognize your voice.

He was kind of surprised, you don't know if it was your voice or that you can talk.

“My mistake, I don't want to be disrespectful with any Rito, what's your name?”

"Shitshitshitshitshitshit, now what I'm going to do?" You thought in exasperation.

You came up with a random name but enough to be Rito like.

He didn't mind, he still treated you like a friend.

“Are you gonna stay some days? There's a flight range on the Hebra Mountain, you can go and practice any time you want, if something happens, you can find me all day there unless I'm busy with Vah Medoh”

Maybe you wanted to continue talking to him in your rito form.

You two started spending more time together.

You were really worried for the mask.

When it's going to let go? What are you even supposed to do?

You tried to find out anything about mask that transform you into completely different species.

Sadly, you didn't find much, just some old tales, but nothing out of that.

You continue spending time with Revali even going to the flight range.

You come up with excuses, he believe them.

You fall in love with him, he never treated you like that.

You decide to confess your feelings.

It didn't go as planned...

He didn't feel the same.

You contained the crying, you were kind of used to that.

“My apologies, but... I already have someone else who I'm actually interested in, he's the most strong, intelligent Hylian and their beauty is... Unexplainable, I might have the ability of defeating, singlehandedly, an army of monsters, but once he's there, my eyes can't stop looking at them... I must reject this confession, but I'm proud of at least young Rito are interested in becoming better then me, I have to go... There's some matters with the Champions, and it's important, excuse me...”

Now I write it, this seems like Revalink, not my favorite ship but holy cow.

You need to take that mask off, NOW.

You had no other choice but to tell the Champions.

You go as fast you could.

You didn't know how to fly, at least for too long.

You get to the castle and asked to see the Champions.

Of course.... They didn't let you.

Because, you know... A weird Rito just asking to see the Champions.

Then you asked to at least know where Impa was, you said it was important.

That time they took you with her.

“My apologies, but one of the appointed knights of the princess is missing, we haven't know about him for days, please tell anyone else about your problem, I'm occupied with their research”

“I think I know where they are...”

You explained everything to Impa except for the part of falling in love with Revali.

Of course, she didn't believe at first, but when you continue explaining and saying things that no one else does just.... You, she believed you.

“Then what's your excuse of not telling the champions?”

“Being fair, I thought it would make no difference and Revali makes it worst”

“ You're Zelda's appointed knight, not a teenager with anxiety, you must know that you must be brave in order to protect your princess, let's go with Purah, she must know about this”

You two decide to try keep it secret, but sadly, the Champions were with Purah.

“Who is this unexpected guest Impa?”

“Your majesty, they have something to explain, please hear closely, it might sound crazy but it's not”

You tried to explain everything the best you could, omitting the part of Revali, you just said that you never talked to him.

Revali was more then surprised, Urbosa was calmed about it, Daruk and Mipha were confused. Zelda and Link were curious about it, but he just watch form behind.

Purah didn't knew much about but she did everything she could to help you.

It was kind of difficult to take oof the mask, but you made it.

Ngl, it was a little bit painful.

The mask disappeared after they remove it.

Purah asked you how do you found that mask and you answered.

After it, Revali asked you to talk in private, he seemed distracted.

You go to somewhere private and talked with Revali, first of all, he apologized for acting the way he does with you and for not at least recognizing your voice.

“I've been worried about you all those days, wandering where you could be, the guards didn't find a sign of you anywhere, I feared that... Some of those Yiga members where captured you or worst...”

“I'm just one of the assigned knights for Zelda, also I can't use the master sword or posses any kind of magic that can destroy Ganon they might see me just as another guard”

“It doesn't matter, all the Champions were worried about you...”

“I know.... Also, about what I said to you in the rito form... Can you forget about it? Please”

He smirked, he seemed to take that as a joke.

“I could never forget the confession of the most important Hylian for me”

“That's the thing, on the moment I wasn't a Hylian, I was a Rito, it seems you liked me better like that...”

“That's not true, if I liked you better as a rito, I would have accept your confession”

“I don't think being a Hylian would change anything...”

“Who told you that? I can't recall mentioning that”

If I continue writing dialogue, this will be a frickin one-shot, and I already have a lot to edit.

You two decide to spend more time together with some conditions.

Revali will be honest and you don't disappear out of nowhere and for a long time.

After spending time together, the bond between you and him was pretty solid for a relationship.

Revali never let go his tsundere side, but he can't help it.

And rest is history.....

Mars Needs Women

This is one of the B-movies that a lot of people have heard of, although I’m not sure how many have actually seen it. It was written, produced, and directed by Larry “They Just Didn’t Care” Buchanan and stars Tommy Kirk from Catalina Caper and Village of the Giants. Happy belated birthday to Mr. Kirk, who just turned seventy-nine in December of 2020. That’s not a bad score for a guy who’s done as many drugs as he has.

The planet Mars is suffering from a genetic problem – their chromosomes are so degraded that one hundred males are born for every one female! Clearly this is not conducive to the survival of the species, so a group of Martians have come to Earth seeking another solution: they want five female volunteers to return to Mars with them and find out if our genes are compatible! The army brass (all male, obviously) dismiss the idea out of hand, but the Martians cannot afford to fail. They will have their way with the Earth Women, with or without the Earth Men’s permission.

We all know that Larry Buchanan couldn’t come up with an idea of his own, so naturally this is a remake of sorts. Mars Needs Women was inspired by Tommy Kirk’s previous movie Pajama Party, which doesn’t sound like an alien invasion flick, but is. In it, Kirk plays a Martian named Gogo (yes, really), who comes to Earth as an invasion scout but decides not to take over the planet because he falls in love with Annette Funicello. Mars Needs Women dispenses with the teen hijinks angle in an attempt to be a straight-up sci-fi thriller, and fails miserably.

We get the normal Larry Buchanan types of suck, such as crummy lighting, appallingly awful day-for-night, a washed-out, colourless print, and copious stock footage. There’s a long bit where the air force tries to attack the Martian ship and fails, which is entirely stock footage intercut with men in uniforms staring at something next to the camera. We don’t see the flying saucer itself even once during this sequence, although they do have a model of it that shows up elsewhere and is almost definitely the best effect in the whole movie. Not a high bar, of course, but seeing as they actually appear to have spent money on this miniature, you’d think it’d get more screen time.

The Martians themselves dress like a sort of noir version of the Chicken Men of Krankor. Their costumes are black wetsuits decorated with duct tape and silver paint, with stupid antennae on the sides of their heads. It amuses me that the first thing they do after acquiring some ‘Earth apparel’ is complain about how dumb neckties are. There’s a mention about how they’ve been trained in ‘Earth slang’, which seems to have happened just so the movie would have no possible sources of humour. When I think about Attack of the The Eye Creatures, I’m kind of grateful that Mars Needs Women never tries to be funny, but it leaves the whole film relentlessly monotone.

The acting is pretty crummy, even from the main characters. Yvonne Craig (Batgirl – no, not one of them, the actual Batgirl) does her best with the material but the lines she’s given are such technobabble bullshit there are very few people who could deliver them with any conviction. Almost everybody else is bland at best. The women scream and faint, and the military guys tense their jaws and glare. The only decent acting moment actually goes to Tommy Kirk as he describes the conditions on Mars, the dying planet. His tone barely changes, and yet you can sense his nostalgia and regret.

Do I even need to ask if this movie objectifies women? Well, yes, actually, I do, and you’ll see why in a minute. The answer is a resounding yes and a good bit of run time is spent doing exactly that. Before the opening credits we see three blondes abducted in broad daylight, dematerialized by the simple means of stopping the camera, removing the actress, and starting it up again. One of these hapless victims is taken from the shower. We later learn that the beam-ups failed somehow, which I assume means the women died, but that’s apparently not worth more than a throwaway line.

Once the five Martians arrive on Earth, they disperse to go hunting for suitable subjects. The first one goes directly to a strip bar, perhaps on the assumption that the employees will not be married (he’d be amazed). We then watch the stripper dance at great length, cutting back to it repeatedly in between other threads of the storyline, which suggests that the Martian sat there for hours staring at her before making his move. He seems to have been the least choosy of the five, simply taking the first woman he gets a boner for. The others are a bit more discerning.

None more so than the leader, Fellow One (the Martians are Fellows One through Five, which did save the writers from having to come up with ‘alien names’ that sound like synthetic fabrics). He decides on Craig’s character, Dr. Marjorie Bolen, an expert in ‘space medicine’ and ‘space genetics’ (this may be 60’s for astrobiology). Her skills seem to be just what the Martians need. This character is treated terribly by the movie and almost everybody in it. A news reporter commenting on Dr. Bolen’s arrival describes her as a stunning brunette who found it hard to hide her charm behind her horn-rimmed spectacles, and only then moves on to her qualifications. She gives a news conference titled Sex and Outer Space, and the reporters who are supposed to be interviewing her have a laugh about the good time the kidnapped women will supposedly be having on Mars. The prop department can’t even bother to spell her name right – it’s written as ‘Majorie’ on a sign even though the r is clearly audible when people say it out loud.

In contrast to this, Fellow One treats her with some degree of respect. Their conversations about science are mostly nonsense, but you can tell what the script is going for. They go on a couple of quick dates, one to a planetarium and one to a museum exhibit on human reproduction (yes, this is weird and icky), and while it is rushed, their little love story is actually important to the plot in ways besides Fellow One deciding to abandon the mission so he can bone her. The movie considers Dr. Bolen a sex object, but from the beginning Fellow One sees her as more than that.

This brings us, in a sideways kind of way, to the thing I find weirdly fascinating about Mars Needs Women: the alien invaders are curiously considerate. They steal a car, but they take one from airport parking on the assumption that the owner won’t need it for a while. They request unattached women, not wanting to break up any happy partnerships. And most of all, they ask for volunteers for abduction! This makes me wonder what would have happened if they’d broadcast their message to the entire world instead of one group of soldiers. Humans being the way we are, I’m sure there’re lots of people out there who’d fuck a couple of aliens if it meant a free trip to Mars (or move to Mars if it meant they got to fuck some aliens).

The female characters even seem designed to want a trip to space. Dr. Bolen might well have helped them willingly in exchange for this unparalleled chance to expand her research, and she does find it very sexy that Fellow One speaks to her as an equal. Yet somehow, the idea never even comes up. At the last minute, she becomes the helpless princess who must be saved from peril, and Fellow One simply tells her he loves her and asks her to flee. Why not invite her along as a guest instead of a captive? It’s got to be worth a try.

The others can be made to fit this pattern, too. The stripper? Maybe she’s sick of being gawked at like meat and would welcome the chance to be among people who will treat her like a queen. The flight attendant? She might feel like she’s been everywhere and seen everything – on Earth, at least. The artist? A whole new planet to inspire her! The homecoming queen? She’s a journalism major. What a scoop if she can report back to Earth about the culture and history of Mars! I want to see a remake of this movie in which the ladies really are volunteers, who must help the Martians outwit the military so they can start their new lives on another planet.

Sadly, this is not that movie, and its exploitative aspects stand rather awkwardly alongside the embryonic feminism embodied in Dr. Bolen, overwhelming it more often than not. I do want to give it maybe half a kudo, though, for at least acknowledging that women can have interests and ambitions. I guess the point of the ending is that Fellow One has realized they need to be allowed to pursue those instead of being forced to breed.

Mars Needs Women is probably Larry Buchanan’s best movie, which is a statement on the same level as saying that The Beast of Yucca Flats is Coleman Francis’ – by any reasonable standard it still really sucks. While it has many problems, I would say that the one that kills any entertainment value is how the narrative totally lacks the urgency the title implies. The ending should be a race to stop the Martians taking off with their prisoners, but no, it saunters instead. If there were only some tension in the film, it could have been the guilty pleasure you’d want from a movie called Mars Needs Women.
