𝕯𝖆𝖇𝖎, 𝕺𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖍𝖆𝖚𝖑, 𝓐𝖋𝖔 ; Fantasy verse concepts / info !

BACKGROUND : Roughly  the  shape  of  a  tall,  well  built  young  man,  if  a  tall,  well  built  young  man  had  fallen  through  a  blender,  been  spat  out  in  pieces  and  then  sewn  back  together  with  questionable  craftsmanship.  No  one  knows  exactly  where  he  came  from  or  who  he  was  before  he  was  “remade.”  He  is  the  only  one  of  the  Doctor's  simulacrums  who  possesses  a  human  form.  The  others  are  cobbled-together  monsters  of  various  shapes  and  sizes,  all  perfectly  subservient  to  their  master.

With  this  separation,  he  is  also  the  only  one  of  his  kind  to  rebel  against  his  master.  He  ran  away  once  in  the  past  and  got  his  name  "Dabi"  after  an  attempt  at  self-immolation  that  failed  due  to  his  enhanced  physiology.  He  is  usually  found  beneath  the  Doctor's  laboratory,  kept  as  a  begrudging  helper  around  the  lab.  He  seems  to  have  accepted  his  life  here,  though  certainly  an  inexplicable  fire  still  burns  within  him  for  something  else.

HEADCANONS / FURTHER NOTES : Frankenstein's  monster  you  will  always  be  famous.  While  Dabi's  background  is  kept  ambiguous  for  plot  and  possible  adaption  reasons  to  make  it  easier  to  blend  in  with  other  peoples  HCs  and  not  be  restricted  to  Dabi's  canon  relationships,  he  is  typically  the  son  of  a  Oni  and  an  Elf,  making  him  a  half  breed.  His  strength,  physiology  and  fire  affinity  comes  from  his  father,  even  though  he's  largely  inherited  his  mother's  looks.  Dabi's  more  Frankenstein's  monster  in  an  aesthetic  sense  than  a  narrative  sense  in  this  verse  due  to  the  lack  of  a  hero  society  and  as  Kyudai  is  the  one  who  "created"  him.  This  being  said,  the  concept  of  Toya  having  died  tragically  in  order  to  be  resurrected  by  Kyudai  in  the  first  place  is  still  in  play.  Though  his  relationship  with  Enji  is  more  ambiguous,  I  like  to  imagine  he  did  have  a  similar  closeness/fondness  to  his  father  prior  to  his  death.

GENERAL : Name: Kai Chisaki. Age: 27-28. Gender: Male. He/him. Species: Warlock / Shifter / Unknown. Potentially a half breed. Occupation: Magical being / ambitions "prince" / King of Shei.

PHYSICAL : Height: 5'10.5" Build: Mesomorph. Hes like a jock if a jock was a nerd. Hair: Dark auburn. Short and tidy but still has some body to it. Eyes: Golden. Scars: None. Tattoos/Piercings: Three golden piercings in his right ear. They're not tattoos but he has dark markings all over body that have a particular pattern that could have them mistaken for tattoos, his arms/hands are completely black/ brown of the same coloring and he possesses talons that he seems able to retract at will. His hands do moreso resemble the feet of a bird than anything human. Jewelry/Clothing style /Appearance: Despite it being somewhat obvious something is a little "wrong" with him, Kai is considered to be exceptionally handsome and due to being an established member of the royal court of Shei he is usually exceptionally well put together, though it is clear he is an outsider and often at odds with the other members. As the prince and newly appointed king he tends to wear a golden headpiece adorned with jewels but perhaps his most striking accessory is his feathered cloak that compliments his bird-like aesthetic and his thick leather gloves that he's rarely seen without. His typical color pallets are golds, black, dark purples and dark green.

BACKGROUND : Found when he was just a small child by the king of Shei, he was taken in by the kindly old man despite the fact that it was clear Kai was not entirely human. Though outcast from his peers and presumably troubled because of this, he was raised in relative luxury beside the king and his biological daughter, the princess.

Years went by and as Kai grew, it became clear that he possessed incredible mystical powers, with a particular knack for the 'darker' arts and ruthlessness the old king lacked. Eventually, the princess disappeared and the old king fell ill and passed with whispers of foul play having made their ways through the court, but no one dares challenge the rule of the mad alchemist, dark sorcerer and new king. HEADCANONS / FURTHER NOTES : Okay so, we're still WIP over here but Kai's very heavily follows the evil sorcerer trope for this AU. Eri also exists and is claimed to be Kai's daughter but where she came from no one really knows. Is she his biological daughter ? Was there something between Kai and the princess before her disappearance ? Who is the princess ? We're leaving that vague, what we do know is she also possesses incredible magic powers similar to Kai's own and Kai has been using her as an enormous mystical buff. I kinda see the two having a slightly better relationship in this AU, though they do kinda have more of a Mother Gothel and Rapunzel type vibe so things aren't "good" there just seems to be more of a connection between them outside of Eri being a raw material Kai is harvesting (even if theres still a strong element of that.) I don't know if Kai actually cares about her or if he's just possessive. Keeping with the whole fairytale prince meets evil sorcerer vibe, we're hitting it with a bit of Rothbart and Maleficent: Kai has two alternate forms that he can shift into at will : one is that of a large demonic vulture and the other is similar, but much, much bigger, and more dragon/monster-like. These are considered to be his 'true' appearance.

GENERAL : Name: Unknown. Erlking. ( All for One ) Age: Incredibly old. Gender: Unknown/Fluid/Presents masculine. He/him. Species: An ancient and powerful type of fae. Occupation: Mischievous problem maker. "Demon lord."

PHYSICAL : Height: 7'4" Build: Mesomorph. Muscular. Hair: White. Eyes: White. Mesmerizing and haunting. Occasionally possess an iridescent quality. Scars: Timeline dependent. He's missing most of the top half of his face giving him a truly ghastly appearance in some timelines. Tattoos/Piercings: None. He's physically perfect and untouched up until the timeline in which he the golden knight clash. Then he becomes rather monstrous. Jewelry/Clothing style /Appearance: Originally, Erlking is an ethereally beautiful being, statuesque, pale and perfect, he was often clad in rich, dark silks lined with golden embroidery and an peculiar horned crown he wore on his head, which is perhaps where he got the title "Erlking" or "King of the Fairies". In later timelines, he appears to be a ghoulish shadow of his former self. A hunched, eyeless figure who conceals his frightening disfigurement with thick black robes. He is much thinner in this form, though his distinctive 'horned' crown remains. He is little more than a lurking gnawing mouth underneath it.

BACKGROUND : Little is known about the Erlking. He is often treated as a figure of legend and myth, a boogieman of sorts, though his reputation isn't all bad, depending on who you ask. In some tales, he's a benevolent figure who helps the needy, in others, he is a child devouring monster. Perhaps there is truth in both tales, what is known for certain is that he is incredibly powerful and exceptionally long lived. HEADCANONS / FURTHER NOTES : We've got a very Rumpelstiltskin vibe for All for One happening in this verse, though he also incorporates more obvious tropes like demon lord and the bogyman. He's the one I've kept the most vague because there is and infinite amount of stuff I can do with him and I tend to adapt these verses to other peoples ideas and build upon them as needed. Something to note however, is AFO isn't actually a king of fairies. If he rules anything its via shadowy manipulation. He's more of the being the evil king is worshipping/working for than the evil king himself. And yes... The similarities between him and Kai both aesthetically and physically are there for a reason. Tomura is typically still depicted as AFO's ward or adopted 'child', hence where the Rumpelstiltskin vibe comes into it because Tomura was a normal human child until AFO "abducted" him, but ofc, theres more to that.

just to be completely clear, the amount of military power and political influence Israel has has NOTHING to do with its settlers being Jewish. Israel is a force for American & European interests in the region and they're just doing what America does and allows/encourages its close allies to do.

war crimes aren't considered war crimes when someone America finds useful is doing them. european and american pushback against anyone criticizing Israeli apartheid & genocide is 100% because these crimes are useful to American & European hegemony.

Governments that are deeply antisemitic, like France, aren't suddenly caring about Jewish people. Jewish people, persecuted the world over, don't hold some kind of hegemonic power outside of Israel.

The state of Israel and its attendant brutal treatment of the locals are both incredibly useful to the US, and American hegemony means we're expected to celebrate both.

not bc they're Jewish. this isn't a break in the pattern of western antisemitism and it's not evidence that antisemitism doesn't exist.

it's just like how you could get fired for saying shit against the US war in Afghanistan when i was growing up. it is 100% about US military and political interests (ok slightly western europe too but lbr)

The dichotomy of Batman and Robin is so fucking funny because on one hand you have a brooding, dramatic millennial with a rigid moral compass and a sense of extensional dread, and on the other you have an emotional support child that is somehow the literal embodiment of both sunshine and straight-up murder.

on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.

Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.

Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.

Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.

There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.

De-Aged Danny, gesturing to a dazed Bruce inside Wayne Manor: And this is Bruce! Otherwise known as the Himbo! Reporters: Hmm, yes, interesting... Bruce: What the- Danny: I'm not sure what that word means. I heard it from Dick, but no one will give me my answer, not even Jason, who is easily bribed. Bruce: Why are there reporters in my house!? Danny, innocent and childlike: They asked to come inside, Bruce! They seemed like really nice people, so I thought it'd be polite to give them a tour. Bruce, filled with infinite patience: I really wish you had asked me before you did that, chum. Danny: But why? We don't have anything to hide... do we, Bruce?

Or, in order to rise to the Ghost Throne, Danny has to complete a series of trials to prove he is capable of ruling (or any other reason, Danny just needs to do trials to prove himself).

The last trial, issued by Clockwork, is thus: discover the Wayne Family secret in two weeks without the use of any of his powers.

He has one shapeshift to pick a form that could endere him to the Waynes, but only one before he starts and he has to get close to the family by his own wits. Danny, after studying the family and reading of one sentence summary of each Wayne, picks the body of a six-year-old little boy that looked like a child Jason Todd.

Bruce: That child is up to something. Dick, third favorite: I don't know, Bruce; he acts like a normal kid. Jason, #1 favorite: I doubt the old man's ever met a normal kid. Tim, least favorite: Bruce is right, but can you please not talk like the villains from Chicken Run.
