☩💉🔥💞 for dai, minah and eniko!

ty!!! // more & more headcanons

☩: Do they practice any sort of religion? If so, is it the same as their family’s?

DAI — yes, he is... pelorian?? oh I don't like that at all. anyway yeah he follows pelor like his dad, whose dedication to the order was a big inspiration for dai growing up. dai has branched out a bit since then, and gone through his bouts of uncertainty and doubt, but that's mostly just made his faith all the stronger MINAH — minah's a lapsed andrastian. her family was pretty devout and so was she growing up, but her family isn't around anymore and these days she Doesn't Like The Chantry ENIKO — nikö isn't religious and has no plans to be. his parents weren't religious (as far as he can recall) and neither was sir. temples or worship make him uncomfortable, to be honest; if there are gods out there, he's pretty sure they've abandoned the world, and thinking of them and the concept of worship makes him feel small and bitter and afraid

💉: Do they suffer from any sort of chronic illness or bodily fragility?

DAI — no dai is immune to poisons and disease and a demigod. he is the hardiest little guy you ever did see MINAH — physically she's in good condition, though her knees get a little creaky sometimes and she's got a handful of dancer/aerialist aches. most of her fragility is of the emotional and psychological variety ENIKO — sometimes when it gets really cold or dry the scars on his back get stiff, and it's hard to ease that without someone else to help. he pushes through, though, because he always pushes through.

🔥: What’s a place that left them motivated in some fashion?

DAI — every place he's ever been and seen something Unfair or Cruel happening has motivated him, but I think wiztopia was the biggest offender—not because it was worse than anywhere else, just because he was so incredibly powerless to take care of the party or get home or do the job he expected of himself, so he leaned hard into taking down the corrupt CEO ruler guy. this, as we know, went super well and didn't leave the planet worse off in the slightest MINAH — ummmmm well the tirashan has left her motivated in the fact that she is Cursed and Haunted and wants to Not Be Those Things. does that count? ENIKO — I don't think place has ever been a motivator for enikö. it's always been people (or money) (or need) (or fear. lots of fear.)

💞: What was their first love like?

DAI — he was a slightly older and more experienced soldier at the garrison where dai was stationed for his training. dai liked him well enough but they were pretty much just work associates until the guy got them stuck worlds away from home in a desperate bid to save the party from a fight they were outmatched by. it was in that time working together to protect the party and get everyone home safe that dai properly fell for him. MINAH — he was a childhood friend whose parents were close with minah's parents, and it was a foregone conclusion they'd grow up and get married and live happily ever after. he was familiar and comfortable and a bit dashing, and handsome as he grew into himself, and minah was sure they were going to be together forever. it didn't pan out. ENIKO — he was a student at the university in whitebridge, kind and curious and bright and good in a way enikö didn't know people could be. he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up in the middle of one of enikö's jobs, and enikö didn't realize until afterwards when he caught a glimpse of a familiar face among the bloodshed. it was one of sir's lessons, and enikö never forgot it. he was 15 at the time

[theres-an-impulstor-among-us]

I hope you don't mind me bombarding your inbox with requests, but how about some Bdubs and Etho? Maybe some Shade-E-E's new employee training?

Thank u so much for this <3 I strayed slightly off prompt but I know you won’t mind :)

Also you are SO welcome to bombard my inbox with requests any time :D

...

  One afternoon, Etho is checking his profits at Shade-E-E’s like normal when he hears the door slide open. Glancing over, he spots Bdubs walking into the room, looking rather grumpy. 

  “Hey, Bdubs,” Etho says cheerily. “How’s it going?”

  “I got stung by a bee and nearly killed by endermites,” Bdubs replies bluntly. “Why couldn’t you have sent me to do free glass instead?”

  “Because everyone already has enough free glass. What people need right now is a lovely gardening service.”

  “But you always say there’s no such thing as “enough” free glass,” says Bdubs innocently.

  Etho considers this for a moment. “That’s true, I do say that. Okay, why don’t you take out some free glass next. But first, have you had your break?”

  “Not yet.”

  “Do that now, then. You can take out some free glass after that.”

  Bdubs beams. “Thanks, boss.”

  “No problem.”

  Relieved that his friend has stopped calling him his “delivery boy”, Bdubs heads over to the back of the shop and sits down on the chair.

  Less than a minute later, a message comes up on their communicators. 

Docm77 was slain by Tactical Tickle

  Etho snickers. “You put endermites in Doc’s base?”

  “Yup.” Bdubs grins, clearly pleased with himself. “His name was in the Refer A Friend chest so I spawned them in his bedroom.”

  “I’m so proud of you, buddy. Anyway, I’m just gonna step into my office for a sec to count profits. Call me if you need me.”

  “Will do.” 

  Bdubs relaxes in his chair in the shop on his own, proud of the work he’s doing. He’s being paid to bamboozle people AND he gets to spend more time with his best friend. To him, it’s a win-win situation.

  A few minutes after Etho leaves, the door slides open again and Doc himself storms into the room. Bdubs jumps up from his chair, a nervous expression on his face, and pushes out both his hands, stopping Doc from coming any closer.

  “H-Hey Doc!” he says nervously. “L-Let’s just talk about this…!” 

  “You put those stupid endermites in my bedroom!” Doc thunders. “After they killed me, I was trying to pick up my stuff and a creeper blew up the redstone I’d been working on all day! This is all your fault!”

  Bdubs’s heart skips a beat. He’s known Doc for years; he knows his friend is going to kill him, or at the very least hurt him. 

  “Doc, I’m sorry, I-!” 

  He breaks off with a cry as Doc lashes out. 

  But instead of the punch to the face he’s expecting, he feels himself get pushed backwards, causing him to trip over his foot and tumble to the floor. When he looks up, he finds Etho standing in front of him, facing off against Doc, sword in hand. 

  “Doc, I need you to leave.” Etho sounds steady and stern, but Bdubs has known him for long enough that he can detect a slight hint of pain in his voice. 

  “Your employee caused me a death AND-!”

  “Listen, I run this business,” Etho interrupts. “The buck stops with me. And I’m sorry about what happened, but there’s no call for violence. Please leave until you calm down, and THEN we can talk about it. But you don’t get to come into my place of business and assault one of my employees. Now LEAVE.”

  Doc’s narrowed eyes flicker from Etho to Bdubs, who gulps. He isn’t sure if Etho can beat Doc in a fight if it comes down to it.

  But thankfully, after a moment, Doc backs down and leaves.

  Dropping his sword, Etho turns to Bdubs and offers him his hand, but Bdubs freezes as he takes in his best friend’s face. “Oh my god, Etho…!”

  The skin around Etho’s right eye is bruised and swollen, and his eye is red and half-closed as a result. He gives a thin smile. “It’s okay, don’t worry.”

  Bdubs hesitantly lets Etho help him up. He winces as he gazes at his best friend’s swollen eye. “I’m so sorry, Etho…!”

  Etho shakes his head firmly, gingerly touching his eye. “It’s not your fault, Bdubs. Are you okay?”

  “Me?! I’m fine. Are you sure you are?”

  Etho hesitates, wrestling with whether to tell his best friend the truth or not. 

  Finally, he says, “I can’t see.”

  Bdubs stares at him. “What do you mean?”

  “I’ve always had vision problems in my left eye. And now I can’t see properly out of my right eye either.” His voice shakes, finally betraying his fear. “I can’t even see you properly and you’re right in front of me. All I can see of you is a fuzzy outline.”

  “Oh, man…” Bdubs hesitates, grimacing sympathetically. “I’m so sorry. Is there anything I can do?”

  Etho shakes his head. “No no, I can do it myself. You can take the rest of the day off if you like. I’ll be in my office.”

  Bdubs watches his friend very slowly walk towards the entrance to his office, almost bumping into one of the chests as he did. “Okay, okay, hang on a sec. Wait. Stop moving.”

  Etho pauses as Bdubs comes up next to him and lifts Etho’s arm over his shoulder. “Come here, I’ll get you down to your office.”

  “R-Really? Are you sure?”

  “Yeah, cuz without me, you’re definitely gonna fall down the ladder and break your neck.”

  Bdubs guides Etho to the entrance to his office and then down the ladder, constantly talking to his best friend to make sure he doesn’t miss a step or a handhold. When they get to the bottom, Bdubs leads his friend to the sofa set up in the corner and lies him down. 

  “Here, I’ve got an ice pack.” Bdubs takes out a piece of ice from his inventory and wraps it in his headband, before pressing it gently against Etho’s eye.

  Etho lets out a quiet hiss, before relaxing as the pain is relieved. “Ahh. I’m so glad Doc decided not to fight me, cuz he would definitely have kicked my ass. I can only just hold my own against him with ONE working eye.” 

  Bdubs watches him awkwardly. “So...um… How long have you had vision impairment in your eye?”

  “Left or right?”

  “You know exactly which one I mean.” 

  Etho clears his throat. “Since I got the scar.”

  “I see…” Bdubs hesitates, wondering whether to ask further. “How… um… How did it happen?”

  “I’m sorry, Bdubs, but that’s not a story I’m ready to tell yet.”

  Bdubs sits back, nodding. “Yeah, I thought not. Don’t worry, I totally understand. But if you ever want to talk about it, or anything else for that matter, I’m always ready to listen.”

  Etho gives his best friend a grateful smile. “Thanks, Bdubs. I appreciate that.”

  “Hey, I should be the one thanking you,” Bdubs responds. “You saved me from a nasty punch.”

  “Bosses always protect their employees.”

  Bdubs scoffs. “Uh huh, yeah.”

  “Well…” Etho chuckles. “While that IS the truth, I honestly didn’t even have to think about it. The instinct to protect you got burned into my code years ago.”

  “Ah…” Bdubs pauses, trying not to show his friend how emotional that one sentence has made him. “Well, uh… Th-Thanks. That means a lot. Anyway, you… you’d better rest your eye for a bit. I’ll keep sorting through the subscriptions upstairs; call me if you need me.”

  “You don’t have to do that,” says Etho softly. “I don’t mind if you call it a day and head home.”

  Bdubs shakes his head. “No way, I’ve got work to do. Besides, if I leave now, you’ll eventually get hungry and go looking for food on your own and inevitably get your ass kicked by that ladder.”

  Etho can’t help a laugh. “Your opinion of me is incredible.”

  “My opinion of you is extremely high. I just know you’re enough of a derp to try climbing up a twenty-block ladder half-blind and we both know how that’s gonna go.”

  “Okay, yeah, I can’t really argue with that.” Etho smiles. “Thanks, Bdubs.”

  Bdubs pauses at the ladder and looks back at his best friend. Etho is always so strong and capable, even if he can be a bit of a moron at times. But this incident has reminded Bdubs that everyone has weaknesses, and that’s okay. He’ll always be there for Etho and Etho will always be there for him, no matter what. 

  So he smiles. “Thank you too.”

Grey’s Anatomy Prompts

I’m going a tad stir crazy, so I decided to make a prompt list of 80 Grey’s quotes I love. This may have been done before but I don’t care. It’s mostly angsty prompts and it’s long as hell. (Break at 15)

1 “When I met you, I thought I had found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was done. So all the boys, and all the bars, and all the obvious daddy issues, who cared? Because I was done. You left me. You chose Addison. I’m all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke.” —Meredith Grey

2 “Don’t let what he wants eclipse what you need. He’s very dreamy, but he is not the sun—you are.” —Cristina Yang

3 “Your choice, it’s simple: her or me? And I’m sure she’s really great. But I love you. In a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me.” —Meredith Grey

4 “If you love someone, you tell them. Even if you’re scared that it’s not the right thing. Even if you’re scared that it’ll cause problems. Even if you’re scared that it will burn your life to the ground, you say it, and you say it loud and you go from there.” —Mark Sloan

5 “It always feels like there is just one person in this world to love. And then you find somebody else, and it just seems crazy that you were ever worried in the first place.” —Lexie Grey

6 “Don’t let fear keep you quiet. You have a voice, so use it. Speak up. Raise your hands. Shout your answers. Make yourself heard. Whatever it takes, just find your voice, and when you do, fill the damn silence.” —Meredith Grey

7 “Not everyone has to be happy all the time. That isn’t metal health. That’s crap.” —Meredith Grey

8 “Breakthroughs don’t happen because of the medicine. Real breakthroughs happen because someone is scared to death to stop trying.” —Derek Shepherd

9 “We don’t get unlimited chances to have the things that we want, and this I know. Nothing is worse than missing an opportunity that could have changed your life.” —Addison Montgomery

10 “And if you can't do it, if you aren't willing to keep looking for light in the darkest of places without stopping, even when it seems impossible, you will never succeed.” —Amelia Shepard

12 “You were like coming up for fresh air. It's like I was drowning and you saved me.” — Derek Shepard

15 “You are my person. You will always be my person.” — Christina Yang

16 “It doesn't matter how tough we are. Trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives. Trauma messes everybody up. But maybe that's the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. Maybe going through all that is what keeps us moving forward. It's what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.” — Alex Karev

17 “Please, don't chase me anymore, unless you're ready to catch me.” — Callie Torres

18 “Change … we don’t like it, we fear it. But we can’t stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow. Anybody who tells you it doesn’t, is lying. But here’s the truth: Sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes, change is good. Sometimes, change is … everything.” — Meredith Grey

19 “Intimacy is a four letter syllable for- here’s my heart and soul, please grind them into a hamburger and enjoy. It’s both desired and feared. Difficult to live with, impossible to live without” -Meredith Grey

25 “If you want crappy things to stop happening to you, stop accepting crap and demand something more.” -Cristina Yang

26 “You didn't love her! You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe she was good for your ego. Or, or maybe she made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love her, because you don't destroy the person that you love!” - Callie Torres

27 I am not an ugly duckling. I'm a swan."-April Kepner

28 “Okay, here it is, your choice... it's simple, her or me, and I'm sure she is really great. But Derek, I love you, in a really, really big 'pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window', unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you.

42 “Pretty good is not good enough, I want to be great.” -Cristina Yang

43 "Don't let fear keep you quiet. You have a voice so use it. Speak up. Raise your hands. Shout your answers. Make yourself heard. Whatever it takes, just find your voice, and when you do, fill the damn silence." - Meredith Grey

44 “Let’s just make-out on the couch.” -Nathan Riggs

45 "Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop." -Meredith Grey

52 "For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything." -Alex Karev
