Skye nodded. She knew how it felt to have everything you thought was real, right, and normal be thrown on its head and just having to deal with it.

"Honestly?" The sigh that escaped her said more than she wanted, but she still smiled. "I don't know. With what we can do, the destruction we could cause regardless of whether we'd do it or not. I don't think we'll ever be able to go back to how our lives were. But we can make a new life, one where those that come next can." Deep down Skye that those at the very top would not allow powered and enhanced people to just do what they wanted, but maybe they could change that.

"The idea of sacrifice never really appealed to me, before all this." Zephyr replied honestly. "Just thought I'd get through college and find a city that wants a stage magician, and that'd be that. But now?" He held his palm out to the sky, summoning a chaotic orb of blue psychokinetic energy. "Now I'm different. Inhuman. Who knows, maybe I'll be magical in more ways than one by the time I retire the tight jeans and heeled boots." He chuckled, something both hopeful and bitter in the same breath.

"Oh, hey, Skye. Yeah...no...uh." The young man sighed, closing his eyes as the cold air caused a bit of a shiver. "You know those dreams where they feel so real and you're actually dreaming about the future, but you don't know until you're actually in it, and Goddess knows if you actually catch it?" It was 3 in the morning, and it was full rambling hours for Zephyr, but still. "I keep dreaming about losing my powers. And I don't know if it's gonna be real."

Zephyr unconsciously took the comforter and wrapped around his shoulders, grateful for the warmth. "I know. We've got a hell of a team here. And thanks again, for everything." He said softly, remembering when the Team saved him from anti-Inhuman protesters a few months back. "I just...My life is so different now. Fish oil pills, psychokinetic...whatever FitzSimmons said I can do now. It's all different, and sometimes I ask myself if I can go home after all this. Can any of us go home?"

Padding out of her room her comforter wrapped around her loosely Skye made her way to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. She wasn't sure what had woken her at 3am, but now she was awake she was thirsty. It was then that she noticed someone out on the balcony. Slowly making her way over Skye slid the door open and stepped out, a sharp in take of breath as the cold hit her before looking to Zephyr. "Hey you, every thing okay?"

OH MY GOD I NEEDED THIS

For the chronically anxious and/or otherwise mentally ill:

This is not a screamer, jumpscare, or any other kind of horror link I don’t know the name of. It will not cause you to question reality and as far as I’m aware, there is no reason it should cause any kind of hallucinations or psychosis. I don’t want to spoil the surprise because it’s DELIGHTFUL but I am happy to tell you it’s very sweet and gentle and also great lowkey stress relief. This is a cinnamon roll link appropriate for all ages (yes, all the way down to babies) and you will enjoy it if you click it. ❤️

Zephyr grinned at that, leaning forward a bit in his seat. "Well, as someone who's been both and more, I feel like I need to make the distinction. Magicians are all about stage presence, and my magic could be considered as me making my presence known to the energy around me."

He took another sip of his coffee and leaned back in his seat.

"Funny enough, I get more questions about being a magician." He joked.

Robbie let out a chuckle as he shook his head. "I have many family members who are considered to be both." Robbie admitted. He watched as the other took a drink from his coffee and sat back, and Robbie nodded his head as he listened to the other man's words.

"Probably because of that stage presence you mentioned it. I'm sure some people find it luring and enthralling." Robbie pointed out with a nod of his head.

Image

"So, what made you want to reach out?" Zephyr questioned, looking Robbie up and down for a moment. "I'll be honest, most of those who draw power from the natural world have no time for someone like me."

He had caught the comment of his stage presence being found luring and enthralling, though he wouldn't point it out. He knew that he could be charming, but the pay wasn't the best these days. How ironic that actual magic took a back seat to illusionists.

"Magicians or magic users?" Zephyr questioned with a chuckle before taking a sip of his coffee. "I'll admit that there's a lot of probability in what I do, and sometimes things go wild when you're doing the right thing. Excuse the pun, of crouse."

"I'm confused what you mean by 'or'?" Robbie jested with a smirk as he looked at hte other. However, Robbie followed his own path. And he wasn't going to judge anyone without meeting them. "You speaking from experience, hm?"

Robbie quirked an eyebrow as he looked at the other. "You know, my family has always warned me about your kind. About how...Unpredictable, you guys tend to be. Have to say...They don't seem to be the biggest fan of you."

Steve looked at the meal that had been placed before the two of them, and yet... something about the dish looked a bit.... not that great? His eyes glanced at the younger man before giving the chef who made it to them a grateful if a tad bit nervous smile as he poked the dish with his fork.

... He could have sworn it moved and growled.

"... Is this safe to eat?"

Zephyr flashed a charming smile at the chef before they walked away, glancing at Steve before glancing at the dish in front of them. His eyes flashed a bright ethereal blue as he seemingly searched the dish for any mystical interference before they returned to his dark brown hues.

He could have sworn that the dish hissed at them.

"Well, there's nothing magically wrong about it." The mage replied softly enough for Steve to hear. "It kinda reminds me of those pod thingies from The Emperor's New Groove."

head up if you don’t want tumblrs partnered ai companies automatically scraping your blog for image datasets, you need to manually opt out.

You can’t do this in the app rn, only the desktop version or web browser on your phone. It will also need to be done for every sideblog you have.

You find it by opening up your blog settings > scroll down to visibility > prevent third party sharing

As an aside, I’d thoroughly recommend opting out of having your blog scraped, even if you’re not an artist. Afaik Tumblr hasn’t explicitly stated which companies they’ll be partnering with, but the vagueness of that wording is really alarming.

These datasets use a lot of selfies for photorealistic results, moderation of who has access to these datasets is notoriously ass, and a lot of AI engines are being used to generate pornography and racist imagery (you can see this rn with the rise of ai generated propaganda). While ‘your likeness is used in an awful generated image without your consent’ IS a worst case scenario, it’s a really upsetting one. Protect yourselves.

"You're certainly an interesting one aren't you?" Charon smiled softly, he'd met all sorts during his long life, it wasn't often he met someone who intrigued him like the other.

"Sounds like you don't know a lot of travelling magicians." Zephyr replied with a smirk, resting his chin against his fist as he looked at the other man. "I'm glad that my work allows me to go from city to city, but it is nice to have a nice long conversation every once and a while."

Trying this again

Greetings, everyone! Olive here back again with another attempt to revive this Loki blog. This blog will be mainly MCU with some comic and mythological elements and also canon-divergent with a possible different timeline from the events of the movies/shows.

This blog is currently undergoing reconstruction, but feel free to like or reblog if you are interested in interacting. <3

“So we put on our smiles, we stand resolute against danger, and we don’t let it show.” Zephyr replied with a small sigh. “Something-something all the world’s a stage, after all. Might as well play our parts.”

The spellcaster leaned back on his hands on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. He was trying not to think about the fact that he was in a room in Avengers Tower with Captain America beside him. Well, Steve Rogers. He’d made that clear, didn’t he? Zephyr glanced back at the man before moving to stand.

“So. What’s next on the tour? Your room?” Zephyr questioned with a smirk, the easy flirtiness of his usual persona bleeding through a little bit. “Or something else?”

He’d have to consult Wanda and Doctor Strange about how they interacted with magic. It was different for everyone, wasn’t it? The intricacies of it all fascinated Zephyr, though they would rather play up their inexperience rather than their personal knowledge.

They found that providing something unexpected caused people to stick around more than the tried and true.

“Oh, and is there an Avengers Quarterly I can get a subscription to? Just to make sure I have everyone’s names down for the next potluck.” Another joke, to ease the internal strife away.
