Guess Who Was Woken Up At 12:30 Am By A Friend Because A Tornado Came Through My Area Early Wednesday

Here’s another one from my archives. It’s the town under a rock, Setenil de las Bodegas, Spain, where around 3,000 inhabitants are living quite literally, under a rock.

The small white washed town has a unique setting along a narrow river gorge eroded by the Rio Trejo river, with many of the houses being built into and under the walls of the gorge itself.

There was a practical reason for living here.  The natural caves are ideal living quarters because they didn’t need to build whole houses to keep out the heat and cold- the cave did that. All they had to build were the façades. 

The bars, restaurants and food shops are ranked as the best in the region.

In summer, the town is vibrant.

The town used to be large store rooms for local produce, b/c of the cool environment in the rock. 

It’s fascinating to think of them building this town. 

Look at this little house.

Even though a lot of the town is under the rock, a lot of it still gets the sun. It’s like going in and out of tunnels.

Historian Butterfly AU Chapter 2

Shinobu x Female OC

Prologue

Chapter 1

Chapter 3: Coming soon

An 18 year old Fukuro walked up to the middle school as kids were just starting to leave the building. Her hair was down showing off how wavy it was. She seemed to be wearing contacts and some makeup as well. She looked around for a few moments before someone slammed into her side.

“And here I thought Kurasshu was my nickname,” Fukuro teased as she looked at the young boy clinging to her legs.

“Dang it! I was trying to scare you! How did you know it was me, big sis?”

“Older sisters know these things, Akio. Now where is Emiko? You didn’t leave her behind to be trampled by the crowd again did you?”

“That was one time!” Akio exclaimed, lifting his arms up in the air to emphasize his exasperation. “And that was a complete accident! I swear she was right behind me a minute ago! But then I saw you and got excited.”

Fukuro laughed and patted her little brother on the head. “It's fine. She probably is not far.” She looked around for a few moments before she spotted a familiar flash of platinum blonde hair. Her eyes locked on to the person and it was Emiko. Emiko was nervously making her way out of the crowd of students. She fiddled with her hands and kept her eyes on the ground. “Hey Emiko! We’re over here!”

Emiko perked up at Fukuro’s voice and looked up. Once her eyes locked on to Fukuro’s own, the nervous look on her face disappeared, and was quickly replaced with one full of joy. Her smile was not much bigger than a very small gentle one, but the look in her eyes said she was a lot happier than she looked. She immediately ran over to Fukuro and lept into her arms.

“Whoa!” Fukuro stumbled back a bit as she was not expecting the sudden added weight. Thankfully Emiko was small so Fukuro did not fall or drop her. “Hey kiddo, how was school?” she asked as she set Emiko back on her feet.

Emiko’s voice was barely above a whisper. “...Good…”

Akio interjected as he leaned against Emiko and used her shoulder as an armrest. “You should have seen her in biology class today! We had a trivia game and thank god I had her on my team because I would have failed if she hadn’t helped me. She got us the win and our teacher gave us some candy for winning! Everyone was basically dying while they tried to answer the questions and Emi was just answering them with no effort!”

“...Akio beat all the kids in track today…” Emkio muttered.

“It was easy as cake!”

“...Except for Kumi…He ate her dust,” Emkio finished.

“Emiko!”

Fukuro laughed at her sibling’s antics. “Well that certainly sounds like a good day. Don’t worry Akio, I’m sure you’ll beat her next time,” she said as she patted him on the head.

Akio pouted. “I bet I can run all the way home within 5 minutes. That will show you that I’m the fastest. You guys will be far behind me!”

“That’s a shame. I was going to buy you and Emiko ice cream, but if you want to rush ahead…”

Akio immediately perked up. “You know what? Being the fastest is overrated anyways.”

Fukuro laughed as she walked with her siblings holding onto Emiko’s hand as Akio jumped around excitedly.

***

“Fukuro, can you help me organize the cleaning supplies?”

Fukuro looked behind her and gave Kiyo a smile. “Sure! Let me just finish helping Naho with the sweeping real quick and I’ll be right with you!”

It had been two weeks since her sudden travel through time. Fukuro’s injuries had healed for the most part. She was worried about where she was going to go at first, but Shinobu ended up offering to let her stay at the butterfly mansion since she had nowhere to stay. Fukuro was incredibly grateful, so she decided to use her time to help around with chores. In any free time she had left, Fukuro spent either researching or getting to know Shinobu and the rest of the residents of the estate.

It was a little embarrassing to admit that she had gotten attached to everyone very quickly. Kiyo, Naho, and Suma were just so cute! She loved kids a lot and it helped that they were always so sweet and helpful when Fukuro was adjusting. They reminded her of her own siblings a bit.

Fukuro had first met Aoi when she was scolding her for reopening her wounds again. Her stern demeanor was enough to make Fukuro shrink back a bit and she was 5 years older than her for Pete’s sake! But it didn’t take long for Fukuro to realize that Aoi was truly a very caring and kind person under her mask. It took some time to get past Aoi’s walls, but after about a week Aoi started showing Fukuro her softer side a lot more often. She even started making sure that the mansion always had natto in stock when she found out it was her favorite food, despite the fact that most people don’t like the dish.

Fukuro didn’t know what to think about Kanao at first. She was convinced that she hated her after she bumped into her and, despite her apologies, Kanao didn’t respond. Fukuro was actually pretty stressed about it until Shinobu explained that Kanao simply had trouble doing anything that didn’t require orders, which included talking. Fukuro made it her mission to track Kanao down and try to get to know her as much as she could, which wasn’t often because she was training for final selection. Fukuro still hadn’t learned much, but Kanao did not seem bothered by it and Shinobu seemed to be glad that Fukuro was making an effort. She really liked Kanao a lot since she reminded her of her younger sister.

Then finally there was the master of the butterfly estate, Shinobu. She was always patient with Fukuro, even when she would excitedly ask her everything about the demon slayer corps. She never seemed to find Fukuro’s clumsy nature annoying. In fact she seemed to find it endearing. She gave her a place to stay with her own room before Fukuro could even ask her. She always made an effort to check in on Fukuro without it feeling overbearing after her freak out. She even gave Fukuro a kimono, when she asked. Even if her old clothes were repairable, Fukuro thought it would be safer to wear something from this timeline and not her own. Fukuro couldn’t deny that she found Shinobu very attractive in more ways than looks. Whether or not those feelings would continue to grow was something that she would find out after time passes. But for now Fukuro was satisfied with the relationship that they had, even if she knows very little about her.

“You don’t have to help us with all of the chores you know. There are probably better things you could do,” Aoi said, walking by with a basket of laundry.

Fukuro set her broom off to the side and went to join Kiyo. “I don’t mind. It keeps me active. Besides, it gets boring reading my notes over and over again. I should really try to find a library. It would be nice to go to a nearby town and take a look around. Maybe find a way to actually make some money. The thought of finding some new books to read makes me so ex-AHH!” Fukuro proceeded to trip over the medical supplies that Kiyo had gotten out to be able to organize them.

“Just be careful so that you won’t get yourself killed,” Aoi said.

“Will do, ow.”

***

Fukuro couldn’t sleep. She had developed a bad habit of working late into the night or just not sleeping at all, so it was difficult to try to get a decent night's sleep every night. Even before that she didn’t sleep well as a kid. Fukuro just always seemed to be more active at night. Ironic considering her name. She did have medication for her insomnia back home, but obviously she did not have access to it now. Usually Fukuro would just work or read, but she didn’t want to accidentally wake anyone up. She also did not want a lecture from Shinobu or Aoi. But she had been staring at the ceiling for what felt like hours, and she couldn’t take it anymore!

Fukuro got out of bed with a sigh. She went through her beat up bag, and pulled out what was by far her favorite source she found on her expeditions. It was an old diary of a girl who Fukuro assumed was a demon slayer. She wrote about her work as a demon slayer a bit, but most of it was about mundane things like how cute one of her friends looked in her old kimono or gushing about the boy she obviously liked. It wasn’t the best source in terms of research, but Fukuro liked the passionate writing of the person’s day to day life.

Fukuro wandered around the halls a bit before she decided to go outside to get some fresh air. She looked around for a place to sit and saw a ladder that someone must have left out. She climbed the ladder up to the roof, and sat down. It probably wasn’t the safest option, but she liked being in high up places. It was easier for her to relax. Fukuro would commonly go to roofs, trees, or bunk beds just to read a book. Another thing that was ironic considering her name.

Fukuro let out a sigh and opened the diary carefully. The pages were old and worn, and some of the writing had faded. She wondered how much longer this diary would last. It would be a sad day when it eventually falls apart. Sure she had a scanned pdf of the diary back home, but she obviously couldn’t use it right now and might not ever again. That thought was almost enough to make Fukuro cry.

“It’s a little late to be reading a book don’t you think?”

Fukuro squeaked as she fumbled to keep herself from dropping the diary she was reading. She looked to the side and saw Shinobu looking at her with the same smile she grew used to, as well as an amused spark in her eyes.

“You scared me Kocho!”

Shinobu responded with a small giggle. “Mind if I sit here?”

Fukuro shook her head and Shinobu sat down next to her.

“So what are you doing awake on the roof so late?”

“Oh! I couldn’t sleep, so I decided that reading would be a better use of my time instead of staring at the ceiling. I like being high up when I want to relax so I used a ladder to climb up here.”

“If you find anything about your room uncomfortable then you can tell me. I don’t mind.”

“No! No! No! The room is great! I have really bad insomnia, so I have a lot of trouble sleeping! I’ve tried different relaxing teas, but they don’t work. I used to have medicine for it but I left it at home and I can’t exactly go back…” Fukuro trailed off to think of a way to phrase her words that didn’t make the fact that she was from the future obvious.

Shinobu put her hand on her shoulder. “You do not have to say anymore if you don’t want to, Fukuro. I understand.”

Fukuro sighed in relief. She was pretty sure that Shinobu thought she lost her home to demons, even if she never said it. Fukuro felt bad that she was deceiving Shinobu, but it was easier than the truth or trying to make an excuse on her own.

“It’s just hard, you know? It’s not that I don’t like it here, because I really do. You all have been so nice to me and I can’t be more grateful for you letting me stay here. But I miss my family a lot. It’s both nice and heartbreaking how much the girls remind me of my little siblings.”

Shinobu’s expression didn’t change but there was a curious glint in her eyes. “I did not know that you had any siblings.”

Fukuro scratched the back of her head with a sheepish look on her face. “That's because the subject never really came up before. I also did not want to annoy anyone by rambling about my siblings. Once I start it’s hard for me to stop.”

“I think it’s cute that you’re so passionate about the people and things you care about. If you are comfortable with it I’m happy to listen.”

Fukuro’s cheeks grew bright red from the compliment. “Gosh, where do I even start?”

“I think their names would be helpful,” Shinobu teased.

Fukuro blushed even more in response. “Well I have one younger brother and one little sister. They’re twins and are both 5 years younger than me, so they’re around Aoi’s age. My little brother’s name is Akio and my sister’s name is Emiko. Despite the fact that I was WAY older than them we were still very close. Akio was a very loud and energetic kid. He’s very passionate about what he does, and can be a goofball. He and I were always teasing each other, but it was all for fun. It actually sounded like we were insulting each other, but we both knew we didn’t actually mean what we said. His nickname for me was Kurasshu because the earliest memory he has of me was when I was trying to help my mom take care of him but I ended up tripping and crashing into a trashcan.”

Fukuro could feel the heat radiating off of her cheeks as Shinobu put a hand to her mouth to try to muffle her laugh. “Sorry, sorry. I’m not making fun of you I promise.”

Fukuro pouted a bit, but she wasn’t offended at all. “It’s fine, get your laughs out now.”

“It sounds like your brother was a handful.”

“But he was also a very polite boy too. Akio always showed everyone around him respect. He would be running around the house like a maniac, but as soon as our parents told him to stop he did without a fight. No yelling was necessary. A lot of people would be very surprised because only close friends and family actually got to see both parts of his personality. Emiko was very shy and quiet. When we were younger she would only talk to my parents, Akio, and I because she would get so nervous. She was selectively mute until she was 14. She’s the genius of our family. Akio and I could never beat her in any trivia games unless all the questions were either sports or history related. Last time I checked she was planning on becoming a veterinarian, but she also has a passion for theatre so she might try to have a career in that field too. Emiko was always the sense of reason when we all were together. My clumsy nature and workaholic tendencies combined with both Akio and I having no sense of fear when it comes to dangerous situations are not the greatest combination.” Fukuro laughed as she seemed to be looking back on a fond memory. “We had a lot of fun together and ended up in a lot of crazy situations.”

“It sounds like you had a very wonderful family,” Shinobu said.

Fukuro nodded. “Yeah I did,” she said absentmindedly. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. “So why are you awake so late? Aren’t you always the one lecturing the other slayers on how important it is for them to get plenty of rest?”

“Is that teasing I hear? I didn’t know you had it in you, Fukuro,” Shinobu teased, which turned Fukuro’s cheeks a bright pink. “I had a lot of work to do today, and I must have lost track of time. I decided to get some fresh air before going back to work.”

“You’re still planning on working?! But it’s so late!”

“May I remind you that we are both in a similar situation.”

“Hey! This time it is not because of my bad working habits. I genuinely can’t sleep!”

“Well then, I’ll start having a better sleep schedule when you do.”

“That would be impossible unless you can make your own medication for it.”

“Challenge accepted.”

The playful banter ended with both girls laughing. Fukuro was a lot more open about it while Shinobu’s was quieter with her hand muffling her laugh.

“What are you reading anyway? It looks like a very old book.”

“Oh! This is a dairy I found on one of my explorations. The person who wrote this is just so bubbly and bright that I can’t help but smile and be in a good mood whenever I read it. It’s hard to think of the world as such a cruel place when I read about someone who is able to see something good in everything and everyone.”

Shinobu hummed as she thought of something. “Sounds a lot like a close friend of mine. I should introduce you to her when I have the chance. I think you would get along quite well.”

“I would be honored to meet any close friend of yours Kocho. Let’s just hope my social skills don’t make me humiliate myself.”

“What’s with the formalities? I thought we were friends, Fukuro,” Shinobu teased. Before Fukuro could respond to defend herself Shinobu continued. “I think your social skills are just fine. You have a very charming personality that shows itself in the cutest ways. Besides, my friend is not known for being judgmental.”

Fukuro was pretty sure that her face was bright red at this point. Why does someone so pretty have to be such a tease?! “As much as I trust your judgment, it's going to be hard to make a good impression when I am half awake and sleep deprived. Hopefully I find a way to fix that problem. Aoi is going to be so mad when she finds out how late I have been staying up. I already made a mess of the medical supplies today, and I know she thinks I work too hard,” Fukuro said.

“I heard about that. She also told me that you’re interested in getting a job.”

“I just want to feel useful, you know? I know the help with the chores is appreciated, but I know Aoi and the girls don’t actually need it. I’m not opposed to learning combat, but I don’t think becoming a demon slayer is the best choice to make. Not right now at least. I also suck at anything medical! The amount of times I have almost gotten myself killed because I almost took the wrong medication is honestly concerning. I know that as Hashira you get paid any amount you want, but l feel bad for constantly leaching off you.”

“Trust me when I say that helping the girls out with the chores and keeping the girls company is more than enough help. They’ve grown really attached to you, despite the fact that you have only lived here for 2 weeks,” Shinobu said, her smile becoming a bit gentler than before.

Fukuro sighed. “I know. I just wish I could put what I am good at to use. But I don’t think many people are looking for a girl who is good at researching stuff. Especially since I don’t have access to a lot of sources right now. Even if I don’t find a job in town, a library would be nice.” Fukuro turned her head away from Shinobu in slight embarrassment. “Gosh, I kinda made this conversation about all of my insecurities, haven’t I? I’m sorry for rambling and bringing the mode down.”

“If you don’t stop apologizing then I will make you go through a day of training with Kanao.”

Fukuro gulped. She had seen the type of training that Kanao would do and it was insane. Fukuro might be fit, which was only due to her experiments with total concentrated breathing, but she was pretty sure Kanao would completely murder her within minutes. “Yes ma’am!” Fukuro exclaimed before letting out a yawn. “The sun is going to come up soon so I should probably try to sleep. Are you coming with me?”

“I think I’ll stay out a little bit longer.”

Fukuro had started to climb down the ladder. “Alright but go to sleep soon okay. We can’t have two sleep deprived workaholics here.”

Shinobu giggled. “Have a good night Fukuro.”

“You too.” Just as Fukuro finished her response her foot slipped. “Well sh*t.” She ended up falling off the ladder hitting the ground with the solid thud. “Oww.”

Shinobu peeked her head over the roof. She looked both concerned and like she was barely holding back her laughter. “Are you alright down there?”

“I’m fine!”

Shinobu jumped down, landing on her feet with seemingly little effort. “Perhaps I should take you to your room so that you don’t hurt yourself more.”

***

“You want permission to have access to the Demon Slayer Corps main library?”

Shinobu took a deep breath before answering Ubuyashiki. She wouldn’t say she was nervous, but she definitely was asking for a pretty big favor. “For the new girl taking residence in my estate, Master. She has taken an interest and I think her skills in research could be of great use to us. She managed to figure out almost entirely how the corps works with only a few books and scrolls that she found by herself. She hadn’t even met a corps member until we met.”

“Ah, yes. Fukuro Hitomi. She is quite the interesting young woman. Her ability to gather information would be a great asset right now. But I would like to be certain of some things first.”

“What do you mean? Do you think giving her access to this information would be dangerous?”

“No, not at all. My concerns are more personal. It is nothing that you should worry yourself about. I would just like to meet her in person. If you could bring her to me for a private meeting I would be most grateful, my child.”

“Of course Master. Right away,” Shinobu said before she gave Ubuyashiki a bow before walking out of the room.

Ubuyashiki smiled. “An interesting woman indeed. I wonder if your presence is apart of something much bigger than we realize.”

***

Welcome to I have never written for Ubuyashiki before and I have no idea how to write him! I’m really sorry for this chapter took so long, I honestly did not think it would take me so much time! School suddenly decided to hit me like a truck so I had very little energy. The amount of times I wrote a scene for this chapter, then decided I did not like it, and then delete it was immense. Hopefully the nest one is less of a struggle. I know not a lot happened in this chapter but I hope it’s still enjoyable! I’m thinking of doing small headcannon and fun facts posts to keep up some content between chapters. The little details I think are cool, but I won’t be able to go in depth with in this story.

DR: KH Superheroes

Monokuma’s Family

Yes of course he has a family, you silly

His wife, Suki, even has a power of her own

She’s a human calculator

Every math problem, even ones thought to be unsolvable, are child’s play for her

But she doesn’t just solve other people’s problems, no no no, she creates her own

She’s even the person who wrote out the Hope’s Peak Algorithm

You know, the one that decides who they’re going to enrol and has never ever been wrong?

I don’t think I need to tell you these two are crazy about each other; the fact that they have six kids who can turn into teddy bears and are better than most at math should be telling

Monokuma will tell you all about his very, very fine wife and his kids.

You will hear about her accomplishments. You will hear about how cool his kids are. This is your fault

Do not get him started unless you want to lose an afternoon

Suichi Saihara

Special eyes

What does that mean?

Well he can see through up to ten feet of material

Almost any kind of material

Wood, concrete, skin, metal

His special eyes can also see in astounding detail

Even in environments where normal people wouldn’t be able to see well, such as underwater or in the dark

Think of the enhance thing that they do in those awful forensic crime shows- that’s what he can do with his eyes

Also, if he focuses them right, they can burn through solid metal

No big deal

Tsumugi Shirogane

Bear with me here

She’s a conditional shapeshifter

She can completely change into any character from any kind of media

She can also selectively choose parts of any character from media to modify her appearance

BUT (of course there’s a catch)

She has to know the character

For instance, if she somehow doesn’t know who Batman is, she wouldn’t be able to turn into Batman

And if she wants to go blonde she needs to know of at least one blonde character whose hair she can steal.

Rantaro Amami

His body is fully and instantaneously adaptive to the environment he finds himself in

For instance, if he’s in a desert, he’ll find himself unable to experience dehydration, heat exhaustion, or sun exposure

Or if he’s in a rainforest, mosquitoes and other animals will find him vastly unappealing, he’ll develop a resistance to poison, and he’ll develop a sudden and inexplicable knowledge of which plants are edible

These adaptations last as long as he’s in any given environment, and as he shifts where he is, his adaptations will shift as well

Bear in mind, though, this process can take a second

Anywhere from ten minutes to three hours, depending on how harsh the shift is

Luckily, it usually takes time to get somewhere, so it’s not a problem to get adjusted

Himiko Yumeno

She can teleport

A little simplistic but it is what it is

At first, she only felt comfortable teleporting objects, anything that’s less than 135 kilometres away

But then one day she tried to help the group defeat some evildoer by teleporting herself

But see, space time jumps aren’t terribly easy to do in your head as you’re in a paradoxical nondimension

So she of course, made a mistake, and rather than ending up in her destination like she wanted, she ended up above it.

6,000 feet above it, to be exact

She broke both her legs, her arm, a couple ribs, two vertebrae and a few bones in her face

So good news: she survived

Bad news: she survived

After this incident, Miu made her a device to do the complicated space-time calculations for her so Himiko could teleport herself safely

Without the device, she’d end up splattered all over the planet with one arm in Yemen and her other leg is in Pakistan

The device gave her a new kind of control over her power she never could have imagined

Miu, what have you done

Tenko Chabashira

When she gets mad, she turns into a giant monster

You know, pretty basic

Except not really because her giant monster changes its form

Sometimes it’s a giant fucking cat. Sometimes it’s a 90 foot snake. Sometimes it’s a huge owl.

Whatever it is it’s always angry, it always wants blood and it never gives up

Monokuma says the monster probably changes based on whoever’s most afraid around her when she changes

This is the most likely theory, and it was all but proven following an incident with Byakuya where they got into a fight and she turned into a bat with a 50 yard wingspan

Byakuya hates bats

They found him hiding under a desk; when they asked him why he didn’t call for anyone or help them fight her, he explained that he’d tried to get out from under the desk multiple times, but every time he would be struck by the image of the bat and freeze up

Monokuma had to interview everyone in private because nobody was willing to admit to being afraid of the giant cat she’d turned into

Miu Iruma

She can bestow sapience and even sentience onto her creations

At first she didn’t even know she could do that

But when the first calculator she ever built turned off when she swore at it, and wouldn’t turn on again until she apologized, she put two and two together

Now she’s the sort of person who apologizes to her vacuum for stepping on it, but the difference is, her vacuum can feel pain

How sentient and/or sapient are the things she makes?

Well, that depends

Her calculators, as we’ve established, are very testy

Her vacuums have the measured intelligence of the average dog; they can follow commands, get upset if you hurt them, but usually they forget about it and they like it if you pet them

However, her virtual worlds are extremely complex; any computer she makes to run them, therefore, has to be as if not more aware and emotionally understanding than the average person

Also she names her machines

This is a normal thing to do

Kibo

He’s some mad scientist’s attempt at resurrecting their dead son

She gave him the armour so he could never get hurt again

What she didn’t anticipate was that the armour would be self-modifying

Every day Kibo would find he could do something new. Different

On Monday it was rocket boots. On Tuesday it was homing missiles in his arms. On Wednesday it was internet in his fingertips. On Thursday it was night vision. On Friday it was- look you get the idea

The woman who made him kept getting upset if he tried to figure out what he could do or god forbid asked to go outside

She’d exaggerate the dangers of the outside world and convinced him the only thing keeping him alive was her

She even ripped up his Hope’s Peak letter to keep him from seeing it (he did)

Eventually he got tired of being held to the standards of someone he’d never known and of being kept prisoner in his own house

So he ripped out his tracking chip and he ran away

He was on the run for almost a year

Until one day he met Monokuma while he was hiding in his garage from the rain (Kibo’s “mom” had convinced him he wasn’t waterproof)

Monokuma responded to this weird homeless robot child by bringing him inside and introducing him to his family

At first his wife was like “he can stay for the night but you’ve gotta find a place for him”

Then she was like “okay he can stay for a few days”

By the third day she was fussing with his hair and helping him take off the armour (which he didn’t know could come off)

Then he accidentally called her Mom and she asked Monokuma how he felt about adoption

“Puhuhu- my evil machination was a success!”

Kokichi Oma

He’s loud

When I say that, I mean. He’s loud.

He can make his own voice loud or he can mimic sounds that are also very, very loud

Sounds he can mimic include lawnmowers, shotgun blasts, sirens, explosions, and in his more outspoken moments, the sound of a Boeing 727 taking off

When he’s just shouting, however, he has been documented being heard over ten kilometres away

If you don’t have perspective for that, that’s approximately the sound of a shotgun going off

But see shotguns go off for a second and then they’re done

Kokichi can. Keep yelling. For a while.

Fuyuhiko absolutely considered killing him when they first met.

Ryoma Hoshi

He can create portals

That is, he can open holes between two non-adjacent places that connect them across time and space

These holes will stay open for however long he can hold them

How long is that?

That depends

Ones big enough for, I don’t know, a tennis ball, could stay open for hours without him putting much thought into it

(He’s often stimmed this way; put a tennis ball between two portals and watch it go whee)

Ones big enough for a person are a bit tougher; he’d have to focus on the portal and couldn’t hold it open forever

Monokuma timed it; his longest held person-sized portal was open for two hours and forty-five minutes

And by the time he closed it he immediately puked onto the floor

The largest portal he’s ever opened was held open for five minutes, and it was to move the school

Long story

And by the time it closed, Ryoma was shaky, pale, and could hardly move he was in so much pain

All he said on the matter was, “I don’t think I could ever do that again.”

Before he passed out

Maki Harukawa

She’s empathokinetic

If that sounds stupid, let me explain

She can manipulate the emotions of people around her by adjusting her own

She can focus her emotions on one person, which is helpful for work

For instance, if she has a very vigilant target, she can focus on “calm” and make them convince themselves nothing is wrong and they’re safe

She can shift “calm” to “warm” to convince the target that they recognize her and allow her close

And from there, you know the rest

When she isn’t focusing on one person in particular, however, her emotions come off her in a kind of wave that effect everyone around her within a radius of up to seventy kilometres

This is great for childcare

If you’ve ever worked in childcare, you’ve had a room full of rowdy kids

If you’ve had a room full of rowdy kids, you’ve dreamed of a person who can walk in and calm the entire room

Korekiyo Shinguji

He’s a ghost boi

No, he’s not dead

It’s just that things you’d commonly associate with ghosts are things he can do

Icy chill in the air when he’s experiencing an intense emotion

He can close doors and knock things off the shelves without touching them as long as they’re close enough to him (50 yards at least)

He can move almost silently and can even float cleanly up to 30 feet off the ground if he wants to

He can walk through solid objects and turn intangible so attacks phase through him

He can turn invisible for up to eighteen hours

And before you ask, yes he can see ghosts

But extremely conditionally

Ghosts have to want to be seen

They also have to be around

He hasn’t been able to find his sister, but not for lack of looking

Do with that information whatever you will

Kaito Momota

He can fly

Which I know sounds underwhelming but that’s not all he can do

Not only has he clocked in at speeds of 40,000 miles per hour at his fastest, but he has a secondary power that even he didn’t know about

Due to a complete accident involving Ryoma’s portals, they discovered that Kaito doesn’t actually need to breathe

He returned three days into the search for him, as Monokuma was trying to determine how he was going to go to his grandparents and tell them that he’d lost their boy

When asked where the hell he’d been, he explained Ryoma had transported him into space and he just hadn’t wanted to leave immediately

He also learned during this trip that his gravity adjusts to the planet he’s on, but that doesn’t seem to effect him in any way

For instance, he was on Jupiter, where he weighed twice his normal weight, and he was fine

Monokuma thanked him for all his in-depth research. Then grounded him for making him worry so much and made him go apologize to Ryoma

Which he wanted to do anyway

Seriously our boi spent a solid three days certain he’d killed Kaito

Kirumi Tojo

She can cover her body in… stuff.

What kind of stuff?

Depends- what kind of stuff do you need?

If she’s being grabbed from behind, she’ll cover her entire body in tiny, thin needles, like the ones found on the plant known as Dendrocnide moroides

If she does this, she can make whoever’s grabbing her regret it for years

Whereas, if she’s being shot at, she can harden her skin with a layer of chitinous material that’s proven to be bulletproof and knife-proof

As an experiment, Monokuma asked to hook her up with some electrodes, and they discovered that she can insulate herself with something rubbery and plasticky that doesn’t conduct electricity

Having said that it was still tremendously painful and she safeworded out at about 10,000 volts

That’s a nasty caveat to her abilities- she may not take damage but she can still feel things

Gonta Gokuhara

I feel like this one goes without saying

Oh well

He can talk to bugs

And spiders

And scorpions

Basically as long as it’s tiny and creepy and weird Gonta can talk to it

When he was a child he’d spend hours chatting with butterflies, centipedes, bees, and would frequently invite them in for food and tea

Much to the horror of whoever was fostering him at the time

My best boy has bounced around almost 60 different homes in his life

They all were very interested in having a super who could just talk insects out of their homes

But they ducked out the second he started bringing bugs into their homes

Quitters and cowards the lot of them

Angie Yonaga

She can draw things into reality

What do I mean?

Imagine her, drawing a slice of pizza in her sketchbook

Nice, right?

Then she gets hungry, reaches into the book, pulls the pizza off the page and eats it

She isn’t limited to paper either, she can draw on walls, the floor, her bed, just about any surface you can think of

She also isn’t technically limited to pens and pencils

She’s never tried anything else before but technically she doesn’t need specific art tools, the drawing just needs to be made with something that makes a mark

However, this will effect the objects composition

For instance, if she drew a pair of shoes out of ketchup they’d always feel like they were full of ketchup no matter how much you cleaned them out

Kaede Akamatsu

Unlike the other protagonists before her, she knew she had a power, knew exactly what it was and knew it was extremely cool

She could come back from the dead

If you kill her, in any way shape or form, you only need to wait five minutes for her to reset

Once she resets, she’ll be completely physically fine.

Well, of course, there is one exception

Depending on the manner of death, there may be a tiny scar on her wherever it happened

For instance, if she was decapitated, there may be a thin scar around her neck from that day forward

And of course the lasting psychological damage on anyone who saw it happening

She’s fine of course

No really

She’s died over 10,000 times and she’s fine

owl house was right.planet earth turns slowly and i do feel like an insomniac

Some Random Historian Butterfly Fun Facts

After finishing the newest chapter I’ve been thinking a lot about the Historian Butterfly series. I decided it would be fun to quickly write down some fun facts/headcannons about the characters. Most of these will be about Fukuro. These are things that might not come up in the story or are not covered in depth. Nothing here will be super big spoilers. They might come up in future chapters, but they won’t be a big deal. These are just small fun facts. This was a really fun way to get more of a feel for Fukuro’s character so let me know if you enjoyed.

If Fukuro had a breathing style it would be Water Breathing according to the official Demon Slayer Fanbook. I’m not sure if she would stick to that or use/create another style derived from it.

Fukuro is demisexual biromantic with a preference for women. She doesn’t really see people in a sexual way until she gets to know them. The thought of being sexually intimate with a stranger makes her sick.

In this AU, my headcannon is that Shinobu is a lesbian.

Fukuro is 6’0”. This makes her dynamic with Shinobu hilarious to me.

It’s been implied in earlier chapters, but Fukuro used to put a lot more care into her appearance when she was in high school and middle school. She wore lots of makeup, styled her hair, and loved putting together cute outfits. Once she went to college she got very busy and invested in her research, so she stopped.

Similarly to the previous post, Fukuro also used to wear her contacts much more often. But she started falling asleep with them in when she would spend days researching. Anyone with contacts would tell you how badly this would dry out your eyes. As a result she wore her glasses a lot more to avoid the issue.

Fukuro was very popular during her high school years. Ironically this is why she struggled to make genuine friends. This is also why she prefers to be called by her first name.

Both Fukuro and her sister have different shades of blond hair. Fukuro’s is strawberry blonde, while Emiko has platinum blond hair. This is because their grandfather was from the USA.

Ironically, Fukuro was scared of butterflies as a kid. This is because she once stepped on one and thought she was going to die because it was poisonous.

Despite her clumsy nature Fukuro has never broken a bone. She does have a small scar under her lip due to her teeth going through it when she was little though.

Fukuro doesn’t actually know for sure if she is in the same timeframe as when her great grandmother was a kakushi and when Muzak was defeated. Her memory is fuzzy enough on her grandmother’s stories that she hasn’t figured that out yet.

I like to think that Fukuro’s great grandmother is the equivalent to some sort of background character that always seemed to stumble upon important events. That’s why she knows so many stories.

Fukuro’s great grandmother’s name was Suzume Takara (If I’m correct then her first name means Sparrow)

Fukuro’s insomnia comes from her great grandmother. Her grandmother and mother have similar issues.

Fukuro, as well as her parents and siblings, are all fluent in sign language due to Emiko being selectively mute for a while.

Fukuro’s mother, Yua, is a lawyer. Her father, Hiroshi, works at his family’s bakery.

Fukuro’s back up plan if being a historian didn’t work out was to become an elementary school teacher.

Fukuro’s favorite food is natto, which is fermented soy beans with rice. Most people don’t like it. (It’s one of Japan’s least popular foods and considered an acquired taste) Her least favorite food is cinnamon rolls.

Fukuro is very good at lying, even when it’s on the spot. She knows the best way to lie is to say mostly the truth and leave out details, letting others make assumptions. She hates doing this though.

Caves are weirder and more varied than you think

Can confirm because my dad has neighbors who just let their dogs run wild in the neighborhood. I’m not sure if they just let the dogs lose or if the dogs just get past the fence. But it’s been causing a lot of problems. These dogs roam around the neighborhood unattended MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. They are also big and very energetic. So they’re running at people and other animals. They try to jump on people and start fights with other dogs. My dad owns an extremely dog aggressive dog, so having these dogs running up to her while my dad or stepmom is trying to walk her is a recipe for disaster. A lot of people have complained to the neighbors but they still have not done anything. This had been an issue for 1-2 years. I will never understand people who do stuff like this with their pets.

Does it seem weird that people treat cats like they’re wild animals to anyone else? And by that I don’t mean people expect cats to survive on their own in the wild. I mean people act like pet cats who have owners are wild animals that the owners aren’t responsible for.

I never thought about that until a few years ago when someone in the town Facebook group asked who owned a cat that kept jumping in through his windows. It was summer so he couldn’t keep his windows closed (we don’t use air conditioning in this country) and he had a terrible allergy to cats so it was legit dangerous for him to have a cat running around his house.

People started offering solutions like “buy this spray that deters cats” and “you can buy this rolling thing for the top of your fence” but his response was “Okay but why am I expected to spend all this money to keep someone’s pet out? Who owns this cat!?” When he didn’t get an answer he eventually got a friend to pick the cat up when it was in his house and he drove it to a shelter, and informed the Facebook group which shelter. Suddenly the owner responded, angry that he’d do such a thing! Getting the cat back would cost money! But the guy was like where the fuck were you when I asked who the cat belonged to!? I was trying to avoid this!

I was honestly surprised by how many people were on the side of the cat’s owner. Another cat owner on our street isn’t responsible enough to keep her cat indoors but responsible enough to at least buy stuff for other people if her cats bother them. She practically have a small stach of cat deterrent spray she hands out to the neighbors who doesn’t want cats in their garden.

The whole thing really made me realize how strange it is that cats are the only pets where we expect other people to spend their money on building fences to keep them out instead of the owners trying to keep them in, as if they were wild animals with no owner to look after them.

Someone called us wasps again. Let’s bring back old discourse. Bmblb is about Yang's bike /j

Listen as someone who some people consider to be a veteran in this fandom but has actually only been here since 2020 to this day I burst out laughing every time I remember that people genuinely said that the song was about the fucking bike like what the fuck was up

Finally, my suffering is over!!

I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

Is there a word that’s a mix between angry and sad
