If so, can you reply with a more gender neutral term with the same/similar vibes?

Title: Extraordinary

Pairings: HotchReid (more to come)

Summary: League of Extraordinary Gentleman/Vampire AU;

Within the FBI there is a specialized team full of an elite selection of people. Unique individuals with very particular skill sets. And their job is to take the unusual cases: the ones that need to not only be solved, but are undetermined if the unsub is human, or something else entirely.

In a world filled with Vampires, non-human creatures, and subspecies unknown, there is only enough information to have them vaguely regulated. Rules that are so easily, and violently broken, all while hidden in plain sight among the unsuspecting public. Unrivaled for eons.

That’s where the BAU comes in.

I'm basically a scientist. I've done science for almost half a decade in my ongoing education, and a lot of my closest friends are scientists, too. So I've been treating magic as a powerful way to harness the placebo effect, and the minor helpful effects of various plants amd brews. If or when I start practicing (gotta study first), I'm always gonna recommend people with issues go see a doctor or a psychiatrist if possible, because that's helped me far more than all the minor magic I've had in my life. Medicine and psychiatry is real modern magic! But I digress.

I have a problem with divination. Or, well, a huge part of it. And that bothers me, because it feels like it's a huge part of modern witchcraft, that millions of people take seriously, and I don't want to hurt anyone.

Confidence is important, but I think it's better if it comes from within, rather than without. I've seen divination rituals used as inspiration rather than to predict the future, and I like that! That's like a random generator of optional stuff to focus on for a while. But I get uncomfortable when a horoscope is taken really seriously. When readings make people avoid certain things, cause them distress, or derail them. That's random manipulation, and inhibiting people's free will.

I get that it's extremely nice to feel like we can have any sort of control of our lives, but we can do that in many other ways, like getting to know yourself, and taking your needs seriously.

If I ever do divination magic, I will do my darn best to give people reassurance that what concerns them will become easier, or that the strength was in them all along - those are the nicest lies - but I will not tell them what to do. Except to go see a psychiatrist or other healthcare professional. But that's gonna be me, not the bones. Free will. Screw the interpreted opinions of ghosts. They died.

i feel like there’s not enough science bros stuff on here so i decided to make some head canons for this travesty

Tony always gets him stupid organic crap from the store only to find out that Bruce really likes all the crappy junk food you can get from any gas station (”Y-you like...funyons?” Tony asks, completely scandalized. “How dare you!” Bruce just shrugs, eating the disgusting snack. “They helped me with a breakthrough in the study of applied physics to gamma radiation. They’re cool.” “Bruce, no.”) 

Bruce, despite what Tony says, knows that he’s a total nerd who would make a slide show of possible inventions from sci-fi shows to invent and use. They do things like this on slow weekends, with reason. (They did not make a transportation device like that found in Star Trek. They attempted it. The carrot did not make it back in one piece. They found out that it landed in the Pentagon. Tony suggested they go through with it anyway.) 

They both buy things for the other that they think is funny. “You did not get me custom pajamas that have embroidery of the Hulk fists on them,” Bruce says, horrified. 

“If you return them, you’re gonna waste about two thousand dollars. That was custom designer work.” 

“Tony, oh my god, stop it.” 

“This is payback for the Iron Man suitcases.” Bruce laughs; the suitcases were child-sized, and could only hold, at most, three shirts. Bruce bought three. 

They talk on a balcony when things get too quiet. Bruce tells him that he remembers more than he ever lets on; the screams, the cries, and what people whisper behind his back. How it’s almost always been like that, and he’s not sure why he isn’t used to it by now. Tony tells him how sometimes he gets anxiety attacks and dammit, he’s never known why. He shouldn’t be having them, he’s strong. They talk through issues. Research mental health issues and make stupid puns off their Avenger titles. 

“what’s big, green, and ugly?” Tony asks. 

“Me?” Bruce asks. 

“Nah, you’re big, green, and stunning. That stupid jar of green tea you keep on the kitchen counter. It’s disgusting, put it away.” 

“Tony, you literally love green tea.” 

“No I do not, shut up. There is no proof.” Bruce sighs. 

“Jarvis, bring up file thirty-six-b-banner.” There is Tony making green tea. “See?” 

“Jarvis, delete that file.” Bruce laughs. 

Tony doesn’t allow for self-deprecating comments. After another Ross statement and Bruce spiralling into a mood of self-hatred, Tony helps as best he can. He makes tea and refuses to acknowledge it. He lists off accomplishments and victories of the Hulk and Bruce Banner. 

Bruce does the same thing. When Tony makes a wry comment, Bruce casually compliments him, or asks him about the earth-shattering technological invention that even Thor admitted was getting to be on par with their technology. “See? You’re awesome,” Bruce says. “Now get in the car, we’re going for tacos.” 

Tony is always careful about what they have in the fridge: a self-pronounced vegetarian, Bruce is extremely cautious about what he eats. Including Hulk’s caloric intake, Tony has to invent an entirely new protein bar to keep up with the insane amount of calories burned. (”How did you even survive?” Tony asks, doing the math. Bruce gives a wry smile. “A little birdie once told me that it was for a reason.” It shouldn’t be said, but Tony smiles for two hours afterwards.) 

This is also part of the same request from above. Someone was looking for a mesh edit in the lamp. Spliting the bulb from the hanger I've created this lamps.
