Not To Oversimplify An Extremely Complex Discipline But If I Had To Pick One Tip To Give People On How

not to oversimplify an extremely complex discipline but if i had to pick one tip to give people on how to have more productive interactions with children, especially in an instructive sense, its that teaching a kid well is a lot more like improv than it is like error correction and you should always work on minimizing the amount of ‘no, wrong’ and maximizing the amount of ‘yes, and?’ for example: we have a species of fish at the aquarium that looks a lot like a tiny pufferfish. children are constantly either asking us if that’s what they are, or confidently telling us that’s what they are. if you rush to correct them, you risk completely severing their interest in the situation, because 1. kids don’t like to engage with adults who make them feel bad and 2. they were excited because pufferfish are interesting, and you have not given them any reason to be invested in non-pufferfish. Instead, if you say something like “It looks a LOT like a tiny pufferfish, you’re right. But these guys are even funnier. Wanna know what they’re called?” you have primed them perfectly for the delightful truth of the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker

First Meeting Treat - A Boboiboy AU

Warning: Possibly OOC

___________________________

After getting over the sudden shock of his soccer ball actually being some kind of high tech sphere from outer space, Boboiboy was granted the power of the elements. Ochobot says they're very powerful and has many abilities can utilize.

That's what Ochobot said, but he finds it hard to believe, because such power came in the form of little orbs. There's 3 of them, each with a different color and symbol on their forehead, and can fit in his palm. They have these white eyes that seem to convey so much emotion, and when Boboiboy looks into them, he sees... fear?

Boboiboy's not sure how he will use their power, maybe he can try using it like one of those magicians he sees on TV, but then what will he use it for? Ah, maybe he can have them help do chores, that would help a lot!

But for now, he has the little orbs on the kitchen table, as they stare at one another, unmoving. Last Boboiboy checked the elementals could move around on their own just fine. Maybe they need some encouragement? What could he do to help?

The boy racked his mind for anything, then he remembered how his dad always used food to coax Mechabot into doing something. Oh that's right! The fastest way to the heart is through the stomach! Maybe they're just hungry.

He left the chair and went to the fridge, looking for anything that can be eaten, he has chosen lots of varieties, see what the little orbs will like.

Ochobot watches him from the side, curious at the boy's actions.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to see what they eat, they're probably hungry"

"Um, they don't need to eat you know?"

Still, Ochobot was ignored, so he watched as his new master try to feed the elementals. So far, all failed attempts.

"Hey Ochobot? What do powers eat?"

"Um, energy perhaps?"

Which led to him giving the orbs batteries, but only the little red orb was interested, so it's only 1/3 success

Boboiboy has ran out of ideas, and is currently slumped down on the table. Maybe he should just go back to bed and think about this tomorrow.

Seeing Boboiboy so down, Ochobot can't help but feel bad. Afterall, he's Boboiboy's Powersphere, and yet could hardly do anything to help him right now. If only he didn't get kicked...

The yellow sphere decides to try setting his priorities straight with a bit of thinking. The sphere glanced around until his eyes landed on a can of cocoa. Cocoa has lots of energy, and it could be used to activate a Powersphere like him, so maybe...

"Boboiboy, try giving them some cocoa!" Ochobot suggests in a lightbulb moment. If it works on a machine then it should work on the powers too.

Ochobot managed to grab Boboiboy's attention. Hearing the idea, the boy gets up and grabbed a can of cocoa. He figured it wouldn't be pleasant to eat a spoonful of cocoa, so he made a basic hot cocoa drink with it and placed it on the table.

The sweet smell of cocoa seems to have grabbed the blue orb's attention, it made it's way towards the cup, and to his amazement, floated up to the cup. Only then he realized that they're little orbs and probably won't be able to drink without accidentally dunking themselves in. So he pours it out on a plate instead.

Like before, the blue orb went first. The sudden recoil made Boboiboy worry about the drink being too hot, but then he felt wind flowing around. Wasn't the window closed? How is there wind? Maybe it's the orb's doing? But that doesn't matter now, as the blue orb happily consumed the liquid. The other 2, red and gold, looked at eachother before deciding to go for it, only to discover that the blue one has drank it all.

"There there, I still have plenty, here"

Boboiboy hands out 2 more small plates and refilled the blue orb's plate as well. He watched them, and contrary to before, they look so cute like this.

Boboiboy reaches out to the blue orb, the blue orb thought Boboiboy was going grab him, but all he received was some kind of petting action with one finger. It felt... oddly comfortable. Boboiboy smiles as he sees the orb lean into it. Does this mean he succeeded in earning the blue one's trust? Even so, he's glad they're more comfortable with him now.

The next day, while Boboiboy was outside with the orbs- No, not orbs, Petir, Angin and Tanah, those are the names he decided to call them based on the info Ochobot gave him. It's really basic, he knows, but they don't seem to mind.

As Boboiboy was going about, the square headed green alien appeared once again. Just as Boboiboy was about to receive an attack from him...

"Earth Barrier!"

A wall rises up and blocked the attack, saving Boboiboy. He looked up to see who his savior is, only to find... himself? No, he looks a little different.

The doppelganger turned around

"Are you okay Master?"

"Uh, um, yeah. Who are you?"

Ah, it seems he hurt the other boy's feelings a little bit, but he smiled

"It's fine if you don't recognize me. It's me, Tanah"

T- Tanah?! Wasn't Tanah a little gold orb just a moment ago?

Before Boboiboy could process how this happened though

"Leave this to us Master!" A cheerful voice called, and there was 2 others like him ruthlessly attacking the alien. Just what is going on?

_________________________

A 14 year old boy awoke to the sound of chirping birds and the sun shining through. Yep, the boy is none other than Boboiboy himself.

So much has happened, ever since that fateful meeting with Ochobot, with the elementals. It was chaotic, sure, but Boboiboy finds himself fond of those memories somewhat. He has made new friends and he was never alone thanks to the elementals's presence.

And he also has a promise to fulfill too. A promise to them, the elements who are still in sleep.

The day passed by quickly, and Tok Aba suddenly closed up shop a bit earlier than usual... Strange.

He entered the house, there's Tanah washing his hands, and why is Petir bringing his lightning blades?

Because he could ask though, Angin already told him to just go to his room and relax. He was confused, what are they doing?

A little while later, he was finally allowed to come down to the kitchen, there, he saw that Tanah has cooked many dishes and they even made some hot cocoa drinks.

"Eh? Are we having a special occasion?"

"Yeah! We're celebrating the 3 year anniversary of the day we met!"

"Something as simple as that? And you guys remembered?"

"Yes, it was a life changing day for us. Humans celebrate important days no?"

Ah, so that day was that important to them? Indeed, it was life changing for him too. Boboiboy smiles as he pulled them all into a group hug.

He remembers the form the elementals took, he remembers how they were at first. And it all started with a plate of hot cocoa.

I am vibrating this is so cool

The detail of ES!Solar’s eyes glowing, and that panel briefly showing his past. He witnessed everything, he knew the full extent of what Rek’taka did. There’s no saving that alien

In the end, ES only wished to stop him from repeating his mistake, but whether if Captain Sunshine is willing to listen is a whole bother story entirely

So reading chapter 14 of captain sunshine.

The way captain sunshine solar said his motives in the end of the chapter made me think that if ES heard that. He will not like it

So i made a little crossover

ES!solar punched CS!solar

So Reading Chapter 14 Of Captain Sunshine.
So Reading Chapter 14 Of Captain Sunshine.
So Reading Chapter 14 Of Captain Sunshine.

Just a little fun crossover

Captain sunshine is by Enenyy

This might be a spoiler but its the context

So Reading Chapter 14 Of Captain Sunshine.
