I was supposed to bring my girlfriend to this new restaurant on a cute date but the waitress came out to her parents on accident and she’s dating a chef now and honestly now we’re both far more interested in this than whenever we were doing before
it's interesting to thing about an au where tam didn't follow linh to exillium because from his pov he can do more for linh if he stays in favor with the public rather than follow her into pariahism, but ended up getting expelled from foxfire due to his ability as a shade and having to join her there anyway. him feeling guilty he didn't stay with her from the start and her feeling a mix of relief he's with her now and slight anger that he seemed to forsake her like their parents
After listening to Olivia’s new song I have only one thought:
I’M TERRIFIED OF HER GUITAR
Fun fact it’s 1.6k actually and I’m not even a Tiana person but I respect whatever past me was doing
STOPPPP OML
how’d you say 400 and actually have 1.6k is craazy but lwk that’s a full fledge fanfic right there and that’s BEAUTIFUL
From Tam’s short story in Legacy :)
BRO TAMM
I REMEMBER NOW
MY HEART HURTSS
💫Tam and Keefe Commission for @yourloveisacurse !
Me when I remember that Tam cried so hard, and so loud all night that Rayni could hear him from down the hall in Flashback
the fact that tam has visible physical marks from his time with the neverseen . . . what must it feel like for your own body to be used to violate people you love . . .
I need tiana content so bad it’s sickening
1288 days without tam song come back to us twin
WHERE IS HEEEEEEE
TAM COME HOME
I saw someone say we’re watching hybe’s downfall in real time and that’s so beautiful
am I allowed to headcanon that over time shades slowly lose the ability to see color and soon everything is just black and white variants aka shadows and not shadows and that’s why shades will wear black a lot because it’s like the one color they can properly distinguish from other colors
Genius. We need more headcanons of abilities affecting elves
Other headcanons I've loved is the idea that psionipaths get blue tips on their fingers or shades get black tips from shadowflux (lowkey what about frosters slowly getting frostbite on the tips of their fingers/toes/ears?) And there was another one that I'm forgetting dammit but it was cool too
AHAHAH TYYYYYYY and yes, WE DO!!!
I like to think the color fading away is more common with the few shades that can control shadow flux, since it’s so powerful and unknown I think the effects would be there sooner. You’d have to be super old shade to lose all color or consistently use shadow flux.
I love the shadowflux black tip one!! Umber canonically had hers black so I think that’s were it came from. I also headcanon that shades that use shadowflux will have a lot of shade flux scars, specifically on their hands and arms going up to maybe their neck.
MORE ABILITY HEADCANONSS
Shadow tattoos that are shadowflux images living in the skin. Really painful to pull out and use as a weapon but possible.
Shades have the ability to create corporeal shadows AND transfer sounds through them: Shades that produce shadow instruments to play music during parties.
Shades actually prefer nightlights compared to other elves. It levels the area to a more even light/dark ratio that they can work with--and live with--easier than an overwhelming shadowy presence. Similar to how you should never leave a hydrokinetic unchecked in Atlantis.
Tam and Linh to me kinda have that moon dynamic, obviously. Linh is the bright side of the moon that you see, that has a push and pull with the ocean, is the comforting presence in the night. Tam is the dark side of the moon (Mulancore), always there, unnoticed, mysterious, still supportive.
Elemental abilities have the highest rate of multiple births, subelementals (charger, froster, psionipath, etc) coming in second. Maybe gives another layer to the elven prejudice against twins/multiple births AND elemental abilities. Because elements are so intertwined, they are actually more powerful in sets. As I said with Tam and Linh, two sides of the same coin. One side is not as strong without the other. Multiple births are frowned upom because the elves in power were scared of unchecked power, not because they were scared of a lack of it. (Always a balance between general greatness and controllable that any ruler wants in their population).
I know another one I saw, which may be canon, but vanishers and shades are able to see each other when others can't. And that is because the light and shadow manipulation cancel each other. (My Tiana heart).
Elementals are also the least likely to come with a second ability. They take up a lot of energy, and so elves of this nature have weaker technopathic or polyglot genes than the average elf (those being such base level, common abilities that almost every elf has them in some capacity; another headcanon that isn't quite mine but fits well here)
Alternatively to what I just wrote, because this one IS actually mine, but technopathy is the elven ability of earth. It isn't technology, it has nothing to do with math equations or formulas, it is simply the understanding and manipulation of the earth. How to bend it to your will, but because the earth is the most grounded element it requires more complexity and more physicality to manipulate than a volatile one like fire (that is very emotions based and can be quite unruly).
Just as a vanisher is basically a flasher lite, a phaser is a technopath lite. Or, earth element lite.
If you really want someone that is PEAK technology, a charger and a technopath duo would create something awesome (wait, I have OC best friends of these abilities--)
Flashers create similarly physical light creations that you can interact with. I'm remembering Unlocked when they crossed that rainbow bridge to get to the Neverseen hideout...I want more of that. RAINBOW ROADS PEOPLE.
Elemental elves have each the ability to provide a purified, or most powerful, form of their element. For celestial elements (fire, shadow, and light) it is the obvious everblaze, quintessence, and shadowflux. For terrestrial elements (earth, water, air) it is less destructive and more beneficial. Hydrokinetics are in charge of producing the fountain of youth water. Powerful hydrokinetics can purify water to its most perfect state and that's what they do. I haven't decided how gusters and I guess technopaths are included in this.
Someone in the comments mentioned shades gradually seeing more and more lights, until maybe their vision is just white and everything is reflecting off of their eyes. I raise you flashers who are all synesthetics. In fact, it is almost impossible in their demographic to have a flasher that isn't. Wylie and Rayni would fight over Tam and Linh's auras and poor them (and Tiergan) would have to hear it. It is kinda like when Team Valiant entered that dark room and the auras of their abilities surrounded them, but more complex and not always in agreement.
Flashers CAN suck light from a room. Or, rather, they can remove color. They can manipulate what colors people see (all or none). Which kind of crosses over into shade category but shades also deal in physical shadows, which flashers cannot do.
Telepaths are obviously the most respected ability and I think the council has a host of them mind printing their public announcements onto a bunch of scrolls, which conjurers send out en masse. Less writing, but it takes a very strong telepath and the stronger the more one can "print" at one time.
P.S. I want to hear more of yours for shades PLEASE
ngl when I saw all the paragraphs you wrote I was GAGGED oh I love all these it’s so delicious
I love the flasher hcs!! I feel like Flashers and Shades (and maybe even Vanishers) go hand in hand because they have similar light manipulation, though for shades it’s obviously a different kind. I really like the hc that Shades and Vanishers can see each other hiding too (the potential for a tiana fic would be crazy).
Also, saying that shadow tattoos is shadoflux as a living image in the skin is actually terrifying. I feel like it would constantly feel like the pins and needles you feel when your leg falls asleep, expect a million times worse and more painful. Eventually I think they’d become numb to it and that’s when it would start invading their vision. I had this hc that these shadow clouds would fog their vision. It’s kinda like the would cover up parts of a shades eye line, like how a cloud would move. Idk if I still like this hc, but definitely in some way Shades that have shadow flux in their body(and that’s a canon fact it’s in their body which is insane) that it’s all kinds of physical and mental pain.
it’s a bit silly, but I had this kinda AU that specifically Tam but could be for all shades, had their shadow be like Peter Pan’s. A ‘living’ shadow person that’s almost exactly like that concept.
It kinda goes back to my hc (or canon i cant tell anymore) that shadow flux is living. I remember Tams teacher saying it was a basis of all things. Everything is made of light but on top of that it’s shadows that (I would say) clear the way and shape/shade the light and colors into forming something and the light energy would do the rest of making it real. (after typing that out I think at least half of that is canon).
Lemme go with one before shade hc.. Historical Shades have been scorned and frown upon, and I remember Forkle saying hundreds of years ago that society was so much harsher and worsen, that they’d treated him and his twin horribly. That probably means the abilitism (is that a word) was way worse too. I think the reasons Shades wear darker colors like black and grey was because back then, the were forced to wear those colors in a way to single them out an ‘warn’ other elves “oh hey, this is a SHADE beware their dangerous.” Over time, Shades became more comfortable in them and even after the scorn died down a bit they kept wearing it. I took into when Fitz was consistently warning Sophie about Tam and saying those things about him. I think Fitz came from a family that was more old fashioned and like that. Lwk thay last one idk yet buuut it’s something ha
I LOVE THE/YOUR HCS THOO TEHEH this was fun ha.
(also HIHI I remember you from last time I was on tumblr tehe I loved your posts and hcs and stuff..)
It is so funnnn to talk headcanons, especially because the abilities are so interesting!
Okay, Imma just spitball some things right now:
I mentioned shade tattoos that stick to the skin
You mentioned that headcanon of feeling tingles and itches where shadowflux resides and how that could be painful for a shade wearing a shadowflux tattoo but that they would eventually become numb to it
We both wouldn't be surprised at some Neverseen member masochism or power at the expense of pain
We know Umber was a powerful shade who could control shadowflux
You mentioned that shadows could have personalities (side note, I think shadows with personalities is a really cool idea but maybe thats one of those things where shades have to be able to read them and thats an advanced skill)
We know Trixx and Umber were serious about each other
I headcanon, because I can, that Trixx had a pet dragon (because tiny dragons are canon)
SO Umber had a tattood shadowflux dragon on her arm that she could call during battle, and because she had it for so long it took some of her personality and became almost a shadow of herself so that when she died with the shadowflux out of her body, its physical manifestation attached to Trixx and now it fights for him as kinda a pet (but its shadowflux so it retains its own agency. It chooses, because of its personal ties to Umber, to remain loyal to Trixx). In summary, Trixx has a pet shadow dragon.
Also, Tam as Peter Pan would be so whimsical and cute to me, I would love that (as it pertains to having a shadow with a personality)
(AND HIII I REMEMBER YOU. I remember when you had a tiana username and loving your posts as well)
IT IS FUNNN TEHEHWJAKSHJDA
The headcanon/cocnept/maybe canon that Umber was the only other shade that could handle shadowflux is so HQDOHQKAAH
Umber using shadowflux but then the pain gets too much so eventually she just lets it ‘consume’ her and it becomes part of her body. The reason even other Neverseen members called her crazy (90% sure that’s true) is because of that.
Umber and Trix’s connection needs to be study cuz WHAT is that I need to know. I love your dragon headcanon it’s so cool and just imagine you’re righting Umber and she summons a crazy shadow dragon or whatever. Holy power.
Also the shadow tattoo taking a physical-ish form when Umber dies is so interesting. I feel like shadow flux isn’t as much shadow as it is maybe a thick form of liquid,, maybe?? I want to say it would be like a slime tbh, creepy and cold and solid black slime. But it’s definitely a solid at certain levels.
Tam’s shadow would bully him so hard. I can’t explain it but it would for sure
(STOPPP that was so long ago Omgg but yeah eheheh)
It has to be somewhat solid, because Tam can communicate through it. And you mentioned a "Peter Pan" shadow. Yes, it could theoretically only be Tam...and Umber. Shadowflux is really the living shadow, the darkest, slimiest, anti-matter of shadow, and only two Shades control Shadowflux. Maybe having a living shadow is a sign of your potential for shadowflux. It is almost like you connect to the shadow on a personal level, and that it reflects you. So shadowflux wouldn't fight you as hard. Of course, the living shadow doesn't have to be shadowflux itself, although maybe it gets stronger with shadowflux. Maybe Umber's dragon is her living shadow imbued into the shadowflux. Ooh, what are the properties of shadowflux, do you think? What makes it the purest/strongest form of its element?
P.S. Trixx and Umber's relationship also feels like a cool dynamic, even though they are not siblings, because its the two elements air and shadow. There's a concept of the 'Queen of Air and Darkness'. It is from Shakespeare I believe but I feel as if I have seen it borrowed in Poe's works and definitely in the Dark Artifices trilogy (as it is the literal name of the third book). Maybe Dracula mentions it, not Poe? The point is, it is a concept of evil and I just thought of that for those two and I find it so cool to give elemental duos dynamics. Very specific dynamics. Again, like Linh and Tam being the two faces of the moon. I wonder if Linh and Marella have one or if elemental dynamics are exclusive? Could this be an actual studyable phenomenon within the elvin world for elemental and subelemental abilities? Or is this more a literary motif? (Because why would elves care about Shakespeare's Queen of Air and Darkness? Unless she is tied to Elysian or some other elf and Shakespeare stole the idea.)
