#about odd

(Some headcanons for Odd’s “Lyoko transformation*”, since I’m feeling rather inspired now after finishing rewatching the entire cartoon series.)

When transformed, Odd gains some superhuman abilities, such as increased stamina, agility, strength, flexibility, and durability (more resilient to injury; For example, tougher to break a bone).

He also retains his ability to climb walls (like Spider-Man), and easily run on all fours. 

He can shoot blasts of energy from his forearms/wrists(?), akin to his Laser Arrows (when Translated from a Lyoko Replika), and also summon an energy shield. However, those abilities are limited, as he can exhaust his energy from too much usage. 

Technically, he could indefinitely remain in his Lyoko form, but exhaustion can lead to him reverting to his normal form. So can being knocked out, albeit not immediately. 

I shall be going on a mini-hiatus for the next couple of weeks.

Nothing is wrong, and I know I have an ask or two in my inbox I haven't gotten to (I'm not ignoring you--just lazy).  I just won't be on AS MUCH, especially during the week.  Between work, and my grandmother visiting, and the ten thousand books I have to read before City of Heavenly Fire comes out, Tumblr has just gotten really low on my list of priorities.

Those who have my Skype/cell phone number and wish to find me may do so.  Those who wish to have my Skype may message me in hopes of me seeing it and getting back to you.

Thanks and have a wonderful next couple of weeks!

Love,

Premium isn't one big feature, it's a hundred small ones done right. On SweetDream it's the way a voice message lands, the way the photos stay consistent, the way the chat remembers an offhand comment from last week.

Who ARE you, dear anon?  Are you someone I already know?  Are you a newcomer to my blog?  *Pulls out table draped with white cloth, bedecked with candles and roses*  What fandom are you in?  Do we share OTPs?  What are your hobbies?  URL?  I won't publish it, I swear.  *Gazes seductively over the rim of her glasses*

...Ahem.  Anyway!

6. What's your lucky number?

This actually changes a lot!  But as of the moment, it's 9, which is weird because I usually stick to prime numbers...

12. What was your last dream about?

My last dream was about me joining a team of paranormal investigators to explore this weird old mansion which was haunted by some woman from the Victorian era whose family perished in a carriage accident or something.  Then, at one point, I stopped in at this really cool antique bookshop downtown (one that is an actual place that actually exists in my city) and picked up a book about journalism or something.  But the edition I got was really cool for reasons I can't remember, and I was looking at it with one of my fellow investigators before I woke up...

...was the dream I had last night.

25. What color socks are you wearing?

I'm actually not wearing socks!  I very rarely wear socks in my own house unless it happens to be absolutely freezing.  I was wearing white socks earlier...

35. Have you ever tried archery?

Yes, I have!  It was actually a course during P.E. at my middle school.  It was my favorite because it didn't involve a lot of running.  It also happened to have occurred during the Lord of the Rings craze that hit my school, so I spent a lot of time pretending I was an elf.  Of course, the first time I ever shot an arrow, I nearly killed one of my classmates.  I felt bad about that.  She was a sweet girl.

37. Favorite swear word?

Fuck.  It is very versatile.  It's also a family favorite.

89. Do you like your age?

That's an odd question.  It's... an age?  It's sort of an awkward age, I'll admit, being in my early twenties.  It's like I'm still a teenager, but I'm not?  It's almost like a continuation of adolescence except now I have to pay taxes and can be tried as an adult. 

96. How did you get your name?

For ages I was told I was named after a boat that my grandparents had given the name they would have given a daughter if they had one.  Within the last few years I learned that my grandparents actually DID have a daughter, but she was stillborn.  I'm named for her.

The boat thing is also true, though.
