Washing and braiding their hair. More intricate braids to show off how compliant LW is

Ending training early because Handler knows where LWs limits are better than LW does.

LW gets hurt, and Handler fights anyone trying to send them back out into the field before they're fully healed up

Manhandling LW, showing a colleague all their specialties, comparing it with someone elses LW

Finding a new bruise on LW that they didn't put there and demanding to know where it came from. Punishing LW for not taking better care of themselves, don't they know how valuable they are?

"My last one was bigger but this one is so much faster."

Buying new "accessories" to make LW more lethal, brass knuckles, new knives, etc

Some of those accessories are surgical enhancements.

tell me you love it. tell me it made you slam your laptop shut. tell me you brought it up at your college lecture about kink. key smash in all caps. quote the passage that made you think. i promise, we’ll love it.

It has come to my attention that some of you have never seen what I firmly believe to be the greatest music video of all time: Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart. It is the perfect marriage of a galactically bombastic power ballad and a writhing mass of 1980s video clichés, thrown into the path of a wind machine and blasted down a moodily lit corridor into the realm of legend.

In case you’re wondering what the heck they were thinking of when they made it, I remember Bonnie once explaining on TV that it’s about the dreams of a headmaster’s daughter, hence all the boys in (and out of) uniform. In retrospect, the whole shebang is quite fascinatingly female gaze-y, and I’m pretty sure it was a major formative influence on my pubescent imagination.

The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes.

it's true, she will

Princess Scorpia. My fave.
