prompt from @kookyc

Extinct

(891 words)

It was supposed to just be a silly marathon.

Gregory threw out the idea to Freddy, who mentioned wanting to learn more about the outside world. Which... he cant really do as only a head, despite Gregory and Vanessa having plans to get him a body.

Gregory just wanted to show him some of the world around him, nature and all that crap, from the comfort of Vanessa's apartment, by watching a nature documentary.

Gregory should have known letting the episode about bears play was a bad idea.

"Bears are extinct?!" Freddy cries, once again suprising Gregory with the suprising amount of emotion in his robotic voice.

Gregory sighs, and facepalms, pausing the TV. "Yeah. Went extinct a couple years back. Polar bears went first, and then they all just kinda dropped from there."

Freddy sputters, and looks at the grizzly bear on the TV with somehow shiny eyes. "B-But I thought humans were supposed to protect nature and the wild animals that inhabit it!"

Gregory frowns. "Yeah, they're supposed to. But things happened and not everything can be saved."

Freddy looks away from the TV and at him, LED eyes shining bright with emotion. "I am a bear. I am Freddy Fazbear. What does this mean for me?"

Gregory sighs. "Oh boy."

"If bears are all extinct, does that mean I am the last bear in the world?" Freddy starts, eyes staring blankly at the wall. "I am not a real bear, though. Does that mean I am apart of my own species? With the Pizzaplex closing down, will there be no more of me made? Am I the last of my kind?!"

Gregory pats Freddys head when he begins to sound frantic, and he grabs the remote, turning off the documentary and putting on YouTube. "Maybe we should watch something else. I dont think worrying over whether you can go extinct as a robot is good for your programming."

Freddy mimics taking a deep breath, like how Vanessa showed him how to do if Freddy ever malfunctions over Gregory being away. "You are right, Gregory. What would my ancestors think if I was wasting the life of the last bear on earth with worrying? They would want me to live it to the fullest!"

Gregory pauses. "Er... that's not what I meant--"

"Nonsense!" Freddy exclaims. "Put on some more information about nature, Superstar. I want to learn about those before me!"

Vanessa walks into the room before Gregory can respond, holding a bowl of popcorn. "I heard yelling. What happened?"

Gregory waves sporratically at the TV and then at Freddy. "Vanessa, tell Freddy that he isn't apart of a species and that he wont go extinct like bears did!"

Vanessa plops down on the couch, and she hums nonchalantly, in thought.

"Well... technically..."

Gregory stares at her. "Vanessa."

Gregory can see a slight twitch in her carefully neural expression, and he feels his blood boil. "Technically, Glamrock Freddys have gone extinct, since they wont be rebuilding another Pizzaplex."

Gregory stands up off the couch. "But he isnt even apart of a species to begin with! He cant even go extinct!"

Vanessa's stony expression finally breaks, and she bursts out laughing when Freddy cries out.

"So it is true!" Freddy exclaims, distraught. "I am the last Glamrock Freddy!"

Gregory shakes his head and sighs, sitting down. "Sure, I guess... but Freddy, you arent just a Glamrock Freddy," Gregory says, and sends Vanessa the stink eye when shes still laughing.

"You're one of a kind. And being so unique that there arent any more of you isnt a bad thing. How would you feel if there were two of me?"

Freddy hums, mulling over Gregory's words. "I cannot imagine there being two of you, Superstar, same with Vanessa, but..." He trails off. "You are not like me, Gregory. You were not created to entertain and inspire. You are just you, and I am me."

"That's right. You're you." Gregory counters. "It doesnt matter why we were created, it matters what we do with our lives while we live them."

Gregory sends Vanessa a meaningful look, and she just stares at them when her laughter dies down considerably, a serious expression on her face.

"Damn," Vanessa pokes him. "Why are you pulling out all of the existential wise words, squirt?"

Gregory shrugs. "I dunno. Freddy seems like he needs it."

Freddy rumbles a low sound, and Gregory recognizes it as thinking. "So..." Freddy begins. "you are saying that I am myself, and there is nobody else like me, therefore I cannot truly die?"

Gregory scratches behind his head. "Well, I didnt put it like that..." He says. "But yeah. I guess."

Freddy smiles. "That was very wise, Superstar." He praises. "I will keep this in mind next time I feel like I am in a jumble."

"...Jumble?" Gregory mutters, then shakes his head. "No problem, Freddy. I just don't want you to have an existential crisis again."

"How about we watch one of your, as you put it, 'vlogs', Superstar?" Freddy asks.

Gregory grins. "You dont even have to ask."

The video Gregory put on was only playing for a couple minutes when Vanessa spoke up suddenly, a quiet mumble.

"Well technically, a long line of Freddys have been fizzled out over decades and never used again, so Freddy can go extinct."

"Vanessa!"

PLEASEEEEEE IM DYING TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR OCSSSSS 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐

oh my gah

well heres some... refrences i made a while back GAH I NEED TO DRAW MORE OF THEM UH UH UH

man ok so i put alot of their lore into a google doc ill just like copy and paste alot of it here:

Okok more of a deep dive on these guys because i wanna do more with them

OK JAY BACKSTORY

So initially, jays mom like wiped out a bunch of superheroes, like when jay was really young (he cant remember it) and shortly after, what very little heroes were left or heroes who were only “super” because of the gear they had, an order was created, to try and take her down

His entire life he was raised by his evil ass mom, mainly manipulating him inot thinking humans were bad (they are generally human but with so much magic into their system that they really arent anymore i guess, similar to like a vampire or a werewolf or something). Its not that jay didnt believe his mother but more of he knew something was wrong with what she was doing, how she was going about things

His mother was a wanted criminal for years, and she was mainly destructive or whatever because her husband died idk-

Im making this up as i go, her husband died from too much magic intake? Like he couldnt handle it, but jays mother blamed humanity because “they were the ones holding him back from his potential”

Jay barely knew his father, so its not like he had a super connection to him

Now while he was growing up, he didnt actually see his mother attack superheros, mainly took her anger out on civilian, even then she didnt like kill them or anything. So he didnt see his mother as a bad person….. UNTIL

A new superhero actually DID show up, or merely, one that was “taken down” and came back, and maybe or maybe not jays mother wanted him to kill whoever it was and hes like “uh NO????” she does it herself and jay immediately wants out of this, but he doesnt exactly have a choice, so he starts disobeying her for like a year, and then…

Another superhero shows up, a young one, a new one, a vulnerable one. Im not exactly sure how kylo and jay interact and stuff at first because i guess its the “beginning” not the backstory idk sooooooo save that for later!!!

Anyway well i guess kylos next which is complicated man

Gah you’ve heard about this, one of a bunch of orphans actually survived some mutation and that was kylo, who initially wasnt even given a name, kylos name shows up later

So because theres a “superhero shortage” the order decided instead of waiting, to just make more, no matter how, they just needed strong enough heroes to take down any threats, including jays mom, and yes i know i need a name for her

Now remember when i talked about kylo having “siblings” yeah so there are others, just none of the orphans, “failed attempts” before kylo, too much of the mutation so they're not really “usable” and they science people are trying their hardest to make them “work” they also dont see them as real people!!! Hahahaha

Anyway kylo was kinda like raised like this, usually isolated from the other attempts because she was “perfect” and it was mainly two scientists taking care of kylo, they were new, and didn’t have much experience in the field, kylo was their first “assignment” and btw idk they’re a couple, and when kylo turned 10 they both suggested before kylo going out and “being a superhero” that she should like interact with real people, she looked human enough, and she could blend in, and learn like basic empathy from other people/kids

The order approved this and those are basically kylos adoptive parents.

BUT not before wiping all of kylos memory!!! Hahah they’ve tested it out before, and decide to use it on kylo, to not mess with anything, and the memory just doesnt “go away” its like a polaroid camera and rolls of memories spills out, and they keep it safe, locked away

So kylo spends like 3 years homeschooled, and realizes that shes “different” than others (kylos parents didnt really explain anything to them (they werent allowed)). So she comes up with a dumb constume like all heros and decides to make good use out of it

This all leads up to the actual beginning of the story which is like i dont even know where to start but like i can tell you that kylo and jay team up, obviously jay has more experience with his abilities and is like the main person to take down his mother, but kylo definitely helps

The order “meets” kylo and lets her stay obviously, and jay… well they’re wary of him, and make him stay in the building (where the order resides) to keep an eye on him, and this is basically where jay stays until like hes 18

Jays “indenity” is quickly released to the public, an requirement from the order, and jay tries to do whatever they say to make him seem trustworthy (because he is, my poor boy), all while, kylo is instructed to not tell ANYONE who they are, and kylo follows the rules at first, but over the years she likes to challenge them alot.

Jay and kylo quickly become friends and trust eachother obviously uh uh, yeah, theirs other villains of course, and kylo and jay become friends even while civilians but kylo is told to “not get so close” but they try anyway bruh idk

A lot of things happen and ill probably draw some stuff out or talk about it because man theres so much up in this noggin and it yearns to be free

lol I love the idea that Clarinette in her “Lime collects weird things I’ll find some weird things for him!” she accidentally finds something SUPER rare and hands it to him and he just casually pockets it. He thinks he can just get away with giving it to Mochi and taking all the credit but then has a mental crisis of LYING????? to MOCHI???????

Funny continuation of this is it’s AM (after Mochi) so he sheepishly confesses that Clarinette is the one who found it and Mochi goes up and thanks her

Sad contunuation of this is it’s BM (before Mochi) is him having a mental crisis of how dare he even think of lying to her. He would never lie to her before she left! What’s changed in me. And then slowly watching it wilt away.

OKAY FOR ALL FOUR OF THESE POINTS I WANNA SAY SOMETHINGS!!!!! first of all i love it and it makes me sad and happy thinking about them :')

1 ) first i think clarinette would think its so cute that lime collects random stuff. everyone says "Ah nice, so the witches cant use it. good thinking" but clarinette sees just a LITTLE bit past it and thinks its a weird and endearing hobby of his. imagine how disillusioned she is when she finds out "Oh, this cute quirky thing he does isnt actually a cute quirky thing, its him thinking of the other woman the whole damn time."

2 ) LIME ACTUALLY LIES TO MOCHI MORE THAN HE SHOULD!!!!!!!! and it SUCKS because its always to save himself from looking like a simp or a dumbass because the truth is embarrassing for him, but it damages her levels of trust in him unfortunately. and she keeps telling him to stop but then another thing comes up where he doesnt want to admit the truth so he lies again (lime flaw). one example is when she asks him why he stays in the m34th, and his answer is "Because they pay well and I'm bored," but no matter how much extra commissions she finds and money she can magic up, he stays anyway. she has to learn from fucking clarinette that he stays because they make him stronger (real lime quote). he doesnt want to tell mochi that he feels so inadequate and inferior when he cant keep up with her, and the m34th is the only way to get his ass up to her level consistently. without it hes back to 16 year old lime who can barely help for shit in the face of magic and monsters

3 ) THAT LAST POINT IS SO TCWG IN NATURE!!!!!!!!!!! lime finding a super rare ingredient and its about to go bad so fuck it, sell it to the merchant. maybe he can keep it fresher than me and i get some money for it. and mochi sees it among the merchants wares and buys it :') bonus points if however shes keeping it fresh with magic, he sees it among her spell ingredients years later. its not IMPOSSIBLE to find one, its just so rare that makes him think if its the same one <3

(and of course the merchant doesnt say shit about where he got it. mochi goes "wow! so rare! where did you get this!" and instead of telling the TRUTH he goes "Industry secret!")

#sometimes i struggle with giving characters flaws but in the best case scenario they crop up organically #lime being a liar for the sake of his pride and shame is a good one though #he doesnt lie for no reason but this is also one of the worst kinds of lying #the kind that fractures trust for little reward #can you imagine how hurt mochi mustve felt when she heard that from clarinette #appearently he confides more in her than in me she thinks #and i thought we were best friends she also thinks #its okay shes hurt him plenty of times over before she can take a little hurt #compared to the emotional blow lime got when she left that festered for 3 years after this is nothing #a consequence of bitterness perhaps #EXCELLENT IDEAS ALL OF THESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just thinking about how awkward the and layered and complex the goodbye between Rhaenys and Viserys would be when he departs Driftmark after Laena's funeral and the eye incident.

Maybe rhaenys thinks that now that viserys has had some time to cool off he Might apologize for his behavior, or failing that (as, knowing viserys, that seems unlikely) they might at least be able to have an honest conversation about her/their grandchildren. about daemon and laena. laenor and rhaenyra. how this succession is going to work. viserys wasnt willing to talk about it before, but clearly a line has been crossed that night. SOMETHING needs be done. difficult conversations need to be had. viserys wasnt ever willing to bend to her before, but her daughter just died. alone and far away from home, BECAUSE of his brother. if for no reason other than guilt, viserys should at Least hear her out.

viserys might be dumb but hes not stupid. he probably knows he didnt handle that situation as well as he could. he reacted on instinct, emotionally. he was just as scared as anyone else in that room, just that he was the one that held the power. so hes the one that got the final say. it mightve not been the best thing, but he said it and hes the king so its over with (he never learned from watching jae that this method never works)… he cant walk back what he said. he cant discuss it after he said its over. that would make him look weak. it doesnt matter anyway. where rhaenyra is concerned viserys will never budge.

and so i imagine their goodbye to be fairly stilted, awkward and uncomfortable. viserys feeling guilty knowing hes, once again, fucked up. and yet, once again, refusing to do anything to fix his mistake. maybe even wanting some validation from rhaenys, that things are okay. which would only make rhaenys more upset with him. he didnt say a word to her during her daughters funeral and now he wants HER to comfort HIM?

all he does is take. theyve been doing this dance for years and shes just. so tired. done with viserys. done with his family. she just wants them gone so she can grieve. she doesnt give him anything. stonewalls him as hard as he does her. if not even her daughters death will sway viserys to give her the time of day, then nothing will. she tried arguing with jaehaerys and it didnt get her anywhere. shes saving her breath with viserys.

#this is definitely the moment that broke their bond. or at least broken beyond repair #also just started thinking abt how vhagar left with aemond so rhaenys doesnt even have her daughters dragon around :’(#im like i need to stop replying with paragraphs to everything.#AND ANOTHER THING #viserys i targaryen #rhaenys tqwnw #asks #backjustforberena

long drabble about the events of purgatory day 14

mainly a Jaiden pov watcher but i was tuned into Phil for awhile today just to get a good sense of what was happening, and i needed something to fill the Jaiden shaped hole in my head. i went in with good intentions and hope for the future and came out with angst and a desire to write. drabble under the cut

Philza doesnt know what to think about after today, so he thinks about Bolas.

he thinks of Jaiden, still passed out, broken, beaten, unconscious curled up in their old base like she has been for the past week. the sole reason for the teams name and the heart of it all. he hopes she was far enough underground that the meteors didn't hurt her. but even if they somehow managed to miss, the earthquake would have gotten her anyways. still, he has hope, Jaiden's always been resilient, bouncing back up after every death since the first day they met. bobby's death took a toll on her, broke her, some could say, but even still, in purgatory, literal hell, she thrived. screeching across the coms as her death messages filled the communicators, laughing to herself as she was killed over and over again, knowing that its for the good of the team. god he hopes shes ok, wherever she is now, she deserves it.

he thinks of Baghera, a broken woman,clinging to the child she couldn't save. purgatory broke her, she was damaged before the eggs, before everything, Pomme's disappearance was the catalyst, but Hell was the straw that broke the camels back. he recalls howling around the campfire of their corpses, and in the heat of the moment, and to the shock of the others around her, she exclaimed that the watcher could kill Pomme, and she wouldn't even care. Phil knew then that it wasn't true and now, more than ever. so she stayed back, willing to sacrifice her life, possibly for good this time.

he thinks of Cellbit, a man pushed to his limits. people are made without purpose, but Phil thinks that if anyone has one, Cellbits is to love. he loved his husband, even on the battlefield, when they both killed each other multiple times and came out stronger in in their relationship than ever before. he loved Bolas, maybe not in the same way but loved them all none the less, because they were a team, and nothing could take that away from them. they fought together, killed together, ate together, slept together, and sometimes that creates the strongest bonds of all. and if he started the trend of calling Phil dad, even as a joke? well, who is he to complain. he loved Richarlyson more than the world itself. his one true confident, the only one who knew mostly all of his plans. the egg that was taken from him. the egg's disappearance that drove him to start killing again. the egg that kept him killing through hell. the egg that he died trying to save, perhaps an attempt to provide a sacrifice to the watcher so he would return his son to him.

he thinks of Foolish, who made it on the boat with him. Jaiden was the closest anyone on the island had ever gotten to Foolish, asides from Bad maybe. his cheerful exterior finally cracked, just like his totem body, he sits silent, and Phil knows he isn't taking this well. he cant remember the last time he saw him this still.

he thinks of Charlie, and knows the code seems to have spread. it's licking at his shirt now, spreading to his biceps and moving across the frames of his glasses like an oil spill. he knows that he and Baghera were close, remembers the two singing in tandem at karaoke, the goldfish joke, and hes heard the horror stories of The Big Swell. Phil doesn't know what to do about charlie, so deep in Codeflippa's delusion that he doesn't think he could pull him out no matter what he did. with over half of bolas gone charlie is vulnerable, and Phil silently vows to not allow him near "Flippa" alone ever again, lest it take advantage of him. if he cant stop the spread, maybe he can slow it until something or someone else can.

he thinks of Etoiles, and its difficult to get a read on the stoic warrior. however, he knows hes probably feeling guilty over it all, his duty, as hes stated many times during many different occasions, is to protect. he could hardly save himself, much less others this time, and Phil doesn't know what to tell him. he moves to sit over next to the warrior, and hopes Etoiles appreciates the closeness.

#qsmp #qsmp philza #qsmp jaiden #qsmp baghera #qsmp cellbit #qsmp foolish #qsmp charlie #qsmp etoiles #qsmp bolas #qsmp team red #qsmp red bolas #words of a broken woman #im sure phil is devastated abotu the eggs as well but i wanted to write about people lmao #first time writing and posting something big like this #i miss jaiden #hopefully she gets some Big Lore soon

hello aaron what are your reasonings behind the n25 old god assignments :)? only if you would like to elaborate <3

:3 :3 :3 hi lemy !! so some are based on their lore descriptions and some are based on mechanics.

mafuyu's (the sadness) applies conditions that will raise Doom (100% doom is a failstate) based on status (money, exp, items, etc) at the end of each mystery. i chose it for mafuyu because it represents piling burdens weighing one down. mechanically, i think mafuyu would be good at managing the semantics of minimizing these conditions.

kanade's (the dreaming) is a bit abstract, its entirely the "losing reason raises doom". (but all the lore is written poetically enough to work). kanade only takes care of herself because if she isnt alive she cant save people. reason is one of two health points; stamina is physical and reason is mental. because this is a tough condition, solving mysteries reduces doom by an extra 2%. i like the symbolism of dreams & nightmares for kanade as well.

ena's (herald) has really cool lore descriptions. its an eldritch form resembling instruments that intends to summon everyone for a party (the shattered court) and basically rapture them there. every time you complete a mystery, one Old God Status effects the town and locations to show the passing of time strengthening the god's power. the Herald has no effect but to double this as two town statuses per mystery. this makes it pretty easy to play generally, but a few of the statuses do really suck.

mizuki's (the spider) was the fastest choice bc mizuki's whole theme is that she runs away from her problems and the spider disables fleeing from combat. its one of the hardest gods to play because many characters are not designed for actually defeating enemies- running away is often the best option. so a morbid choice. (at the same time, most enemies do reason and/or stamina damage and few do doom, so Kana wouldn't be very affected by this god as health damage doesnt matter to them).

idk how to describe this post, but just describing characters psyche lol

darry,dally, and tim- they have little to no genuine support system and have to harbor everything they go through pretty much alone and bottle shit up cause growing up quickly sucks

tim- his parents werent rlly parents, so he had to emotionally mature fast and understand what they did wrong in life and in having kids so that he could better take care of angela and curly, he learns quickly that looking out for ur own blood can save ur skin more than yknow it, his parents arent around rlly anymore and he doesnt exactly know where they run off to even if they come back home for a few days but he knows theyll never learn that

angela- she canonically had a break down about her life being actual dogshit and bryon says that in the morning she’ll go back to her own stone cold strong self cause thats just the way she is, that's just the way she's learned to go through life

literally every singular one of the characters LMAOOO- its self explanatory HOWEVER i will highlight darry here

curly- faces a shit ton of oppression (even if u dont agree w him being queer hes still black to me but if u dont see him as black hes still a poc and a greaser) so hes just learned to do whatever he wants bc no matter what he does hes always gonna b judged so y not live life to the fullest and in a way that makes him happy, he’ll still be shunned, but at least he’ll be happy

tim- i cant properly find the words to explain it, but someone needs to check up on this nigga fr, a good portion of the neighborhood is religious, especially the older ppl yet they always judge him for one thing and another, nobody is rlly genuinely hoping (or in this case praying) he gets better

curly- shameless reminder that i ship purly, so I thought about curly saying this to pony for a sec cause i think cures that type guy to just explore the world any way he wants and he'll do anything to get someone to join him in on it

this is also for very obvious reason two bit, soda and if u squint, steve

darry- he cares for pony sm it comes off to pony that he doesnt care at all, pony needs his space to breathe and darry doesnt wanna let em go

the shepards but most particularly angela- for some reason she held her parents in a high light cause unlike some kids in the neighborhood they had them both, curly and tim knew this wasn't rlly the case very quickly and as angela grew up, bit by bit she knew what they meant and would lay or even cry in bed over it

TAKE AWAY THAT THESE R COUSINS PLS ONLY PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORDS THATS WHAT IM TRYNNA HIGHLIGHT HERE IM BEGGING U

purly- either way u chose who's who the other has always felt like they weighted other ppl down (for ponys case) or like theyre just to far gone to be helped (for curlys case), they still love each others company because they see the other as being worth it/deserving of it

however if u dont ship purly or can't get over em being cousins this is literally darry and pony or johnny and pony for like the same exact reason

#curly shepard #ponyboy curtis #purly #tim shepard #angela shepard #darry curtis #sodapop curtis #dallas winston #darrel curtis #two bit mathews #johnny cade #steve randle #the outsiders fandom #the outsiders hcs #the outsiders headcanons #the outsiders 1983

At first I was mixed about Lily's return but the more I think about the more it feels right.

Lily is cursed.

She is the woman in the comics that kills Lorie and her baby at the prison before snapping and killing the Governor.

She always follows people that in some twisted way remind her of her dad and in the end helps bring the end of whatever group she is apart of.

The Delta lost so many in Lily's attempt to get the kids all because of one she knew from so long ago. One from the first group she destroyed.

im gonna be honest when i say i ... really never understood all the hang ups people had about lily returning to fill the villain role for s4

like lily returning in s4 makes more sense to me than kenny returning in s2 im gonna be real with you all. lily was at worst left on the side of the road and at best had her own rv at least she wasnt left for dead in a walker infested alleyway. personally i was hoping for a christa return (because i dont want to admit she really died 💀 no body=no death) but lily made enough sense to me and i was excited by her reveal

clem knew lily at the beginning of the outbreak. before 8 years of it turned them into different people. clem isnt the scared little girl she used to be. shes grown up into an extremely capable fighter. and while lily at the beginning of the outbreak seemed like a tired woman trying to keep it together, but also felt the need to take charge and didnt like being questioned (who also cared too much about her awful father but we get more insight into that in s4), by s4 shes lost any shred of kindness she mightve had left. she was military before the outbreak and now given a position of power rules through fear and an iron fist (just like her father). but there are moments between her and clem where we can see just a Glimpse of that old lily ("we were family once..."). but all of that goes away once she realizes that clem is a genuine threat now. and lily recognizes that clem would be a perfect soldier if she can just break her the way she herself was broken so long ago. and if she cant break clem then she'll break aj instead

and then we have the lee element. lily is the Only other person left from that first group at the motel (she did not destroy that group btw ben did like cmon now and ben Keeps destroying it after lily isnt even around anymore). and while shes wrong to say she knew lee better than clem ever did, lee and lily (and kenny) were group leaders together while clem was eating her apple and coloring with chalk. like the adults were speaking. and depending on how you played s1 lee could have a decent relationship with lily. lily being able to sow those seeds of doubt in s4 clems head is just fun mind games

they have History. clem still wears the hair ties lily gave her all the way back in s1. she helped take care of clem for a time. looked out for her. and in a different universe clem Easily couldve ended up standing in minnies shoes instead

also in regards to the delta we Know they dont really want to be kidnapping kids to fight in a war that would probably kill most of them in the first 5 minutes. if they had the adults to be fighting instead they would be. it just shows us how dire the deltas situation really is. they were just expecting to find a bunch of kids for easy picking but clem turned them all into skilled enough fighters to successfully kill a few of them and raid their boat. clem is a big enough win that it doesnt even matter how skilled the rest of the kids are. plus lily was just leading the excursion. we dont know how high up the ladder she really was and how much power she really held. maybe she had something to prove back at the delta (my one real gripe is that we didnt get to actually See the delta. in my perfect world there were 5 episodes and ep 4 was about the delta 😔)

both lily and clem are just trying to save their communities. the difference is lily wants to uphold the status quo of fear and force and war, and clem is trying to build a safe community thats different from the many shes seen. she and the rest of the kids just want to carve out their own little safe haven in this dangerous and unforgiving world. they make a place truly worth fighting for

clem getting some form of closure with lily i feel might get to help her close the book so to speak on her history up until this point. clem has been fighting for so long... but she has a new home now. a new community. she can Chill a little bit. shes gonna grow into such an incredible leader 😭 (not that she isnt already 😭)

#also ive heard conflicting info about whether lily is her own character separate from the comics or not #i dont think ive ever seen an official source just fan speculation?#i never watched the show past s2 so i cant speak on that either 💀#oof i love to ramble huh #'i hate writing essays' says the person always writing essays about her fave media #opossum-knight #replies with lexi #twdg #long post

Weiss and Cinder position swap. Cinder is the "they're confused but they have the spirit!" team member who is doggedly loyal to Ruby and Weiss is the manipulative (and manipulated) person who only wants power over their life for once.

Weiss adjusted the collar of her shirt to hide the scarring around her neck as she watched Team CYBR (Cyber) take on Team ABRN in the opening round of the tournament. A smirk crossed her lips and she leaned back on her bed, spinning the dust revolver on her rapier’s hilt. Everything had started going according to plan, and as long as she was able to keep everything under control, no one was going to see what was coming.

“Who do you think’s going to win?” Mercury asked. “Ruby and her friends seem to be a bit outmatched if you ask me.”

“Ruby and her team will pull through and win the match,” Weiss said calmly as she watched the match closely, the smirk on her lips fading. “We’ll need that brute on their team to make it to the finals for our plan to go smoothly.”

“And if she doesnt?”

“She will. Afterall, it is team CYBR that seems to get in our way. And if they seem to start failing, then Emerald will make sure they can still win.”

Emerald nodded and flipped through a few pictures on her scroll. “Though, we still dont have any guarantee they’ll keep sending her up. The faunus and the orphan seem to be working together well enough, we might need to change our approach.”

Weiss stopped her dust revolver from spinning and looked up towards the ceiling of the dorm room. “If they dont send up the brute, then I’ll adjust our plan accordingly. All that matters is that we show the kingdoms that huntsmen cant be trusted. That no matter how much trust they put into them, huntsmen arent meant to save people. Only to follow the wills of the kingdoms and the councils in charge.”

“Then what would you like for us to do in the meantime?”

“Go to the fairgrounds and enjoy yourself,” Weiss said as she put her rapier down. “Mingle with the other teams, find out who they plan to send up and who we’ll need to make adjustments for. The last thing I want are for any last minute surprises that’ll interrupt our plans.”

“Alright. Want us to get you anything?”

Weiss shook her head and turned to look at the television screen again, keeping her eyes on Ruby. The one person that seemed to keep getting in her way unintentionally, a kink in the plans that never seemed to go away no matter how much planning was involved. A smile crossed her lips for a moment as she sat up, a small, fiery glyph forming above her fingers as she circled it in the air. “Your move, Ruby. Lets see if you can stumble onto the real plan for Beacon.”

—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cinder raised her swords to block Reese’s hoverboard, sliding back as she braced against the impact. She pushed Reese back with a growl and ran her fingers up the sides of her swords, activating the dust inside them as they burst into flames. “Ruby?! Any time now!”

“I’m thinking!” Ruby yelled back as she used her semblance to find a vantage point to look over the arena. “Just… try to get them grouped up!”

“Easier said than done!” Cinder took a few steps back to avoid Reese, her eyes following the hoverboard. She ran her hand over her blades once more, heating them with her semblance and molding them into a bow. “Go help Yang! I have an idea!”

Ruby nodded and rushed off to help Yang deal with Arslan.

Cinder took a breath and drew back her bowstring, nocking an arrow and aiming at Reese’s hoverboard. She quickly let loose arrow after arrow, drawing back each one as quickly as she could grab them. She relaxed a bit as she watched Reese pull back, her eyes immediately snapping to the rest of team ABRN. Bolin had moved to help Arslan with Yang and Ruby, and Nadir was starting to give Blake some trouble.

“Cinder! Watch out!” Blake yelled.

Cinder quickly moved out of the way of a rock Arslan had thrown at her, wincing as her aura started to flicker. With a quick glance to her scroll, she checked her team's aura levels, not liking how low everything was. “Yang! Punch the ground!”

Yang paused. “What?”

“Just do it!”

“You better have a plan!”

Cinder nodded and shot another arrow at Reese to keep her back, smirking as she watched the terrain start to crack from Yang and the other team start to lose their balance. She pressed her hand to the ground and activated her semblance, superheating the terrain to make some obsidian. “Ruby! All you now!”

Ruby smiled and rushed around Bolin and Arslan, pushing them back to Reese. “Blake! Yang! Time for Bumblebee!”

Cinder rushed back as she watched Blake throw the gun of her weapon to Yang and pull her around the edge of the arena and over the obsidian path. She looked away as Yang made impact with team ABRN, dropping to her knees as she heard the buzzer as the match ended.

“And with that spectacular ending, Team CYBR wins!” Professor Port called out over the loudspeaker.

Cinder picked herself up and smiled as she listened to the cheers, glancing at her team before walking over to them. “I cant believe that worked.”

Yang smiled and pulled Ruby to her. “Of course it worked! Ruby’s genius when it comes to on the fly plans!”

Ruby tried to get out of Yang’s arm, struggling to get out of her grip. “Yang!”

Cinder giggled and helped Ruby out of Yang’s grip. “Lets get something to eat. On me today.”

I need to ask questions before i forget

ok so: ofc i could not forget this question. what does link think of sheikah tech

also impressions/interactions with purah and robbie Perhaps

AH!! honestly i dont think he really thinks much about it unless he needs it (ex robbie stuff), or zelda/purah/robbie/even impa mention things about it (like snippets of how it works or the history of it). usually the only thing that matters is “dangerous = avoid” or “helpful = get”. the only exception to this being the shrine of resurrection, which at first he didnt question at all, but once he learned of What It Was, then he was like “OH. oh i Dont like that”. the few times hes gone back in there he’ll sometimes just. sit in there. and try to discern more about it (and also more about his past self by proxy, despite not really being awake when he was put into it). the divine beasts creep him severely out at first, Especially vah naboris at first. it just walks so unnaturally…. and it walks in circles and gets closer to the mountains but then it turns away. however after he frees the champions he just. sits by them. once again either just to have a Moment or to talk to the champions. i really like this idea because it both means link can share food with them and also it can get more character revelations (maybe mipha can finally talk to sidon and her dad. WHICH BY THE WAY ITS SO SAD YUNOBO SAW DARUK BUT SIDON DIDNT SEE MIPHA. like im sure mipha did that on purpose as well as daruk but D: ). the guardians probably scared him really badly at first, and hed avoid them at all costs. i think the only time he found out you could fight them And Win would be if/when he got the guardian sheild from cherry, where it autoblocks their beams. thats how he learned he could parry them and now fighting them is Tense but also pretty easy. he doesnt like the flying ones he cant parry them. he just uses ancient arrows on them or avoids them. speaking of when doing miphas guardian fight its kind of the first time he realizes that the guardians Werent Meant to do all of this. the ones mipha fought were Designed to fight, and you could tell as they glowed orange not pink. doing the kakariko shrine also cemented this and i think he would miss that specific guardian (i dont know if it respawns on blood moons. i know the strength trial ones do but this one might not). i think he would like cores though just on the account of being rare and looking very cool. he also uses guardian weapons sometimes both on the basis of being cool and being respawnable weapons (shrine strength trials and all that jazz). speaking of the shrines he either loves them (shrines that require outside challenges like the skull lake one) or does Not like them (ones that can kill him like the spike balloon one). he saved some shrines for zelda to do (including the one in the memory, half out of spite and half out of she Did want to see. she might actually use this to get better at defending herself if it comes to that (and also studying how the guardians move and their attacks. once defeating it taking its parts and deconstructing it). this also does put into question how im making death work here (i like to think that save reloads or those little link falling off . animations? cutscenes? are like previews of what happens and then he just comes back to himself. they do Actually happen and he can Feel It but he always ends up in the position he was just before he did that (like getting off the ground after those cutscenes). those are jarring for him and he doesnt like the feeling.

i think how he sees ganon by proxy would also be interesting. ganon uses sheikah tech a Lot (the blights and his own mini shrine of resurrection). hed probably think the blights are just kind of. proxies of the divine beasts? like not questioning it at all because the aesthetic fits and all that jazz. but once he got to the castle he Would question ganons own SoR thing (and the decayed guardian attached to it). and also ganons form before he turns into the dark beast would be. Very Weird to him. he wouldnt ask zelda but hed ask impa or purah how thatd work or how he can do that and they go “he can do fucking What?”.

impressions of purah and robbie pre cal are: pretty cool but doesnt know well, and cool and weirdly nice. robbie would slightly scare him until he works with him more, and purah wouldnt scare him but hed be awkward around her as if they worked together itd probably be in silence, unless something would happen in which case link would have no idea whats happening so he’d just. go with it. minor deadpan “yay!” or “ah sorry”s. i like to think that at some point he’d have to scavenge guardian parts for purah as a debt for something (if she built the hateno lab pre cal and he told his sister about it i think purah and aryll would meet, but also purah would not want strangers really knowing about all of this. though it does bring into question how the lab would be “hidden” in the first place? post cal has the excuse of its been 100 years and people forgor but pre cal the ancient tech is super relevant. i imagine purah would simply lie to the kids to spread rumors and keep people out. but also in creating a champion and robbies diary its mentioned that the labs were built After the calamity so. shrugs. on one hand im keeping it because it gives me an excuse to have the champions visit hateno, but yeah. was the hateno lab also a lighthouse before…?). purah and link would make a slightly distant but friendly duo. its like purah would lead it but is also more self conscious at the time so if link questions something she would have trouble answering (especially if its about herself ((ex. isat loop reacting to siffrin telling them that theyre awkward and taking it personally). however getting guardian parts between the two of them would be easy and also scarily effective. neither of them care about dirt or grime and parts collecting is fun for link and simply looking inside guardians both decayed and not is fun for both of them. and once link knows How to take apart guardians/search for parts without damaging anything else hed be extremely meticulous about it. what i mean by that is that hed get extra things he didnt have to and sort it out depending on the factors. this is great for purah, because it means more data on how some parts were damaged to begin with and how she can restore them. other than that though i dont think theyd work much together. theyre just in their own little corners + purah is more friends with zelda than link. unless he collected parts for her however they would less “work together” and more “ah item collection time” and mailing it to her/just. handing it in. however robbie and link would be less distant but still in their own little corners. its the prime example of . sorry i just violently remembered pansexual introvert asexual extrovert show while typing i need a better explanation for this. guy who is the most energetic person you will ever meet vs guy who is the chillest person you will ever meet. actually while typing this i was about to say robbie would drag him into things and while thats Probably true for like. small experiments i think if link was already there purah would drag him into more dangerous ones (unless link explicitly stated he didnt want to). she Did do the anti aging rune while robbie just sat there. basically robbie would initiate a partnership and purah would deepen it through increasingly mad scientist experiments. though i think she’d test the waters in how far she could actually go with it if that makes sense. i mentioned the self consciousness but from aocs cutscenes she seems more nervous in general but that could be me. but yeah she would hesitate. and also test certain ones on herself with proper safety. robbie would basically just make link bring certain items over (“pass the wrench” type of deal) and really just talk to him. also getting distracted in the middle of talking when something Happens but talking when he can. in the senario of link collecting parts i think hed go to robbie to restore some rusted over parts because he really doesnt know who else could do that. and also robbie would know purah so itd probably be cool. and yeah things go well

long paragraph. but!! yeah they could theoretically be friends they just arent into the same things. hypothetical tumblr mutuals. otherwise theyre nice to each other and would play board games

post cal!!! suspicious until he learnt she was the actual director. then he thought she was a fun person but mostly focused on fixing the runes at the time and memory collection. he was also slightly miffed about the having to bring parts but he couldnt complain because well. Yeah Fair Enough. he likes snapping with her and would probably ask about divine beasts the most with her. at some points he both asks about the little divine beast on the ceiling. otherwise i think hed like to hang out with her he just doesnt a lot, as theres nothing really to update on with the shekiah tech or anything. he might? tell her about the forgotten temple considering the sheer amount of guardians there but i think hed have. Weird feelings about that place in general

robbie!! old cronk. he lights up the furnace first so he doesnt come to an empty lighthouse before. hes still nice and his weapons are Very Useful however he laments the rupees leaving his pocket. he does read his diary and actually feels kinda bad for robbie and purah + the tech in general. like no one knew that was going to happen and they Still felt guilty. would probably ask robbie about the lomei laybrinth guardians but also doesnt visit him a lot. he Would play uno with him though. other things: hed use both of their telescopes, ask for recipes and when he stops by he’ll make food for each of them, keeps bringing new glasses or hats for the frog statues (or makes more tiny statues), ask purah more things (can i build a mini divine beast too. whats up with the cores. how do the divine beasts work. ..do you think the champions could still be alright in there. and she can only really say that well. she really doesnt know. its possible ((but its a slim possibility))). he also goes to them for slate fixings! purah would, on one hand, want to try out wind bombing so bad, but also it looks So Dangerous. robbie would also love it and keep making bomb designs to help wind bombing (of which they explode in his face.) purah would probably just make a seperate rune for it entirely (and also make it Not hurt).

this is not part of the ask but if totk was canon he would miss everything so badly. the divine beasts would hit like a fucking Truck man. and nobody mentions it!!!!! not even purah!!! he doesnt bring it up either but it still hurts. miphas statue being moved and not realizing where it is at first hurts Even More. he feels a bit betrayed by that. he even misses the guardians. not one exists. the only one being on purahs lab. he’d go back to the castle just to find Anything on the sheikah tech. his friends are gone and barely anything remains. he’d search robbies old lab. he’d search Everywhere for them. he might even ask some constructs if theyve seen more tech like the ancient arrow tips. he cant even wind bomb he has to Build a machine that goes Slower like a Pleb . sorry just the ludonarrative dissonance in totk. the shrine of resurrection being gone would hurt so so So badly. its like none of it even happened. he never got hurt his friends never existed any memories he had didnt exist any pain or happiness never existed. once he saved zelda he would either go insane or go to robbie and ask to make a sheikah device. or ask where everything is. i think even robbie and purah would be surprised at the SoR being gone and thatd only make the feelings of hurt worse. majoras mask but termina is a mirror world of hyrule and instead of helping link cope through greif it makes everything worse on socmany levels.

#HELLO!!#sorry if i didnt elaborate much on purah and robbie. i honestly dont know how much they would interact #hopefully with time i will develop everyone more #also can youctell i miss the shekiah tech.#on one hand i love disregarding totk and making my own brain sequel. but also its just so fucked up

quick little intro to Yusra lore !!

Not exactly 100% the apprentice lore i made some changes hehe

i love writing misery can u tell

—--

Likes to call herself a merchant of the sea (pirate)

Originally came to Vesuvia looking for Julian, old business to settle, new ones to make. She was commissioned by a nearby lord to do his bidding and needed an old friends to count on.

Never intended to stay. It was when her ship was overtaken by a flood she was grounded. It's here she meets Asra. It was Julian who introduced them. A few nights after her home was turned into nothing but splinters for her to shift through. Not much remained. A few keepsakes, a map here or there. The odd bundle of cloth and fabric. She pushes on, until she finds herself breaking just at the sight of Julian, empty sobs shaking through her while he can only hold her tight.

That ship was her home, her everything. It took nearly her whole life to get her hands on it, it was a culmination of her life's work. It wasn't big or grand, but it was hers. That's what mattered most.

Asra offers to let her stay in his shop, after much persuasion and begging at some points. Finally after a month of rotting in vesuvius streets she finally gives in.

Asra is kind to her, never prods about the ship or what brought her, even if he's curious to know. They let her say as much or as little. Instead he gives her space and lets his home turn to hers as well. She promises to repay the kindness but he only laughs, swatting her away and going on about his business.

Shes keen on learning, anything to make her useful. So she learns magic. Enough to be at least somewhat helpful to Asra. It makes her feel much better about her predicament. Gives her time to think about what to do next, keeps the hands busy. Busy hands is a busy mind.

Asra grows fond of her and her heart. He's handsome, undeniably so. Its hard not to fall for them when they're sweet, words that drip like honey from lips made of petals. Eyes that shine in every gaze. He sees her. More than she sees herself. She doesnt know if its the magic or just his own perception, his nature.

Burying into ever crevice and crack of her being till she's sure she's been memorized.

“You're beautiful” he sighs one night, out on the market for a little fun.

She blushing now, saying nothing. Instead linking hands. And he understands her all the same.

Not long after the plague erupts. And she is really stuck. With no ship, money dwindling, and the only truly familiar face off in the palace slaving away for a cure.

Her options are running out. She either stays, or risks making ground on completely foreign territory outside of the city. To take a gamble on if the next town will have the same red beetles about its walls.

Asra turns out, intends to leave, and he knows the land far better than her. But she can not leave Julian. She came here for him after all, she cant leave him, not now. So they fight, for the first time. Asra begs for her to go with him. To save herself before it truly becomes unavoidable.

“Then you alone may leave. “ she says

And so he does.

The lord severs her contract and she instead takes up in the palace. She learns all she can. There's less sleep as the days go on, as the bodies start to pile. They have no place to put them. So they are sent to be burned away from the city. On an island that holds only misery.

Julian comes to her one night, sobbing as he wipes the sweat from his face.

“There's so much death..”

It only gets worse.

As the counts’ condition worsens, things turn to chaos. So much happens in a single day and yet she doesn't remember any of it. It all blurs.

She resents Asra for leaving. How could they ? yet there's no room for anything other than work.

She notices Julians eye before even he does. But says nothing. Everyone knows they're bound to succumb from the very curse they intend to cure. Everyone is losing hope.

Who knew she would be the first to go.

Cemetery Mary: Reginald's Route Part 2

now i am going to go get Reginald's good end! the bad end was,,,, it was,,,,,,, bad

anyways to get the good ending i'll just do the opposite of what i did the last time (and follow the ending guide lol)

spoilers belowww

ok so ive mostly been skipping thru everything and for some reason??? i keep ending up on the wrong routes?? like i accidentally got on the twyla route then the Crowven one like oopsies

not sure what i did wrong tho ?? i'll just start over

ok now im on the Reginald route, going shoppinggg time to get one wrong thing just to see what will happen ok nothing much happened just some dialogue

now to bring up the axe (bro he is so sus)

the cursed manga still freaks me out i skipped thru the church part but it still freaks me out also why did those people at the church look at Mary weirdly also im really curious about the black goo stuff,,, will i get an answer for it in the true ending or on the good end of this route?? im wondering if i should get the true end on Reginald's route (but it doesnt rlly matter which route i get the true end on since it doesnt change much apparently)

that part where Reginald gets mad at his neighbor makes me wonder if he's only super nice to Mary and around Mary like is his behavior different around other ppl when Mary's not around??

aww asking Crowven to stay,, cute

THEYRE SO CUTE AHHHH

now for Mary talking to the priest at the church,,, an interesting thing about this route is that Mary never realizes her ghost-communication powers, just gets caught up in some weird curse/wish thing in the form of defaced shoujo manga and a mysterious headstone

thats nice of him no threatening 'I'll make her be sorry' comments just him showing up w an umbrella

in the restaurant scene why does Mary see black goo come out of the mouth of Reginald's victim just another clue that the manga and the grave are connected to Reginald i guess??

OUCH

i tried to call twyla in the part where Mary needs to sleepover with someone interestingly u literally cant LOL twyla doesnt answer that makes sense tho

oho?? this is new a headache huh? and that music from the church when she was super sick is playing too ooh will she discover that Reginald's missing or smth?? learn more answers regarding the manga and the eye and the grave???

oh her phone is missing?? did Reggie take her phone? since he told her about the flashlight and Mary was like 'did he not realize my phone has a flashlight?'

maybe he took her phone bc its flashlight is bright enough that she would see that he isnt in the living room, unlike his flashlight

i am very incredibly nervous

OH WTF??? IS THIS HIS POISON MIXTURE?

hey maybe his antifreeze-poison thing is a mixture between antifreeze and rat poison since twyla said that it was 'some kind of' antifreeze that had a purple label but they werent able to find anything like that so maybe the label was actually a rat poison label???? or maybe im wrong LOL

ooooh it changes??? i went back and picked the middle 'grab something' bc i wanted to see if it was the same thing

it wasnt, obviously but also IS THAT MARY'S HAIR?? WTF???

what's the third thing

OH MY GOD

ok im gonna,,, im gonna continue with the first option that i picked if Mary doesn't discover the other stuff then i'll just re-load those saves and see

MARY DONT SMELL OR DRINK THE STRANGE LIQUID MARY?!?!??!

ah ok so she put it away and then u can pick to grab the other stuff alright

Mary dont rationalize the pictures,,,, they were taken without ur consent or knowledge Mary,,,,, Mary these are red flags Mary,,,,,

OH MY GOD ITS HER MOM'S NECKLACE ISNT IT OHHH MY GOD.

if i slept in her parent's room then this would be her plushie right?

"Is the Reginald I know... even a real person?" lol. lmao. no.... hes not,,, sorry Mary,,,

I KNEW HE HAD SMTH TO DO WITH ALL THAT WEIRD STUFF!!! I KNEW IT

jumped when the mirror broke lmaoo

oh god. i hope he doesnt catch Mary

oh no she's trapped :((( nooo Maryyyy

BBBBBBRRRROOOOOOOOO

oh fuck. oh no. oopsies...... i missed the quick time event im,,, Mary i am so sorry

bro wtf stay away from Mary?!?!??!

"It makes me sound like I'm crazy" my good sir you are crazy you are absolutely insane

"No matter how many times it happens" so there is time travel happening

that IS true i cant deny that but also,,, u like,,, thats not how u do it Reg

"You... love funerals so much. ...So I tried to provide you with as many as I could!" oh so THATS why he kills people ok,,,, ok then thats

yeah thats definitely not how u do it

how many times has he been like time travelling or like,,, looping i guess?? is it a time loop?? maybe??

HHHUH WHAT WHAT WAS THAT??? I DIDNT GE TTO READ IT?

i think it was purple text that said 'well since you asked so nicely' but im not sure?? im just assuming cuz she's out now so is Reginald behind the purple stuff? probably but like maybe its not on his side?? woah first time that some creature presented with purple is doing some good(?)/j

help?? Crowven??? i mean like yeah i would too but lets slow down for a sec

what the hell he just disappeared? and everything he owned too??

well that was a wild ride definitely more confusing than all the other routes and no ghost-communication too (unless the eye and purple text were ghosts?)

well im gonna process this ending, maybe ramble more to my brother bc he doesnt know anything and its funnier to theorize around him

i think im also gonna try to take a screenshot of that one purple text bc im curious abt it

next time i'll be playing i wont skip any scenes, and i'll be getting the true end on Crowven's route

did you have any "endgame" in mind for regem?

yes, i had the general plotline more or less solidified for every book + the epilogue + the intermissions. the problem was, as i said, everything was built on top of shaky foundation, so no matter how many support beams i added it was gonna collapse sooner or later. i tried to write the basic plotlines for each book under the cut, but i went into WAY too much detail, and only ended up doing book 1 because it was SO fucking long. i might write out the storylines for each book in other posts but book 1 is the closest to being a self contained story while the others lead into each other a bit more

jonah calinao has a heart attack, dies, and goes to hell, but their life is saved bc modern medicine is amazing. no one has seen hell and come back before, so boss (satan) sends one of her most trusted underlings (jade) to "take care of the situation" (kill them). upon arriving on earth, jade stalks them for a bit, learning that jonahs life is kind of pathetic. theyre a layabout taking advantage of their best friend/roommate (mary), theyre "between jobs" surviving off benefits (and probably the money they got from their possibly dead dad), and they spend most of their nights drinking. jade decides earth wouldnt miss them, and prepares to do her job, but before she can, when jonahs on their way home from the pub, they stop at the bridge over the river. they look over the fence. they take a sip of their can of lager. they climb over

jade asks them what the fuck they think theyre doing, and they stop. they stumble, but jade catches them and drags them back over. she asks them again, what the fuck, and they dont know what to say. they take another sip of their drink and jade grabs it out of their hand, pours it out in front of them. jonah pouts, and jade rolls her eyes. she says shes gonna take them home. they do not ask how she knows where they live.

when they arrive home, mary thanks jade for bringing jonah home. jade says its no problem, but asks if she can... stay the night? just to keep an eye on them, shed never forgive herself. mary doesnt like it when jonah brings strangers home but shes a "nice person" (huge pushover who cant say no to people) so she says jade can sleep on the sofa. which is no problem at all for jade, since she doesnt need to sleep!

she goes into jonahs room in the middle of the night, wakes them up. they arent happy, bc theyre hungover, and they still feel the sting of trying and failing to kill themself which is honestly HUMILIATING, especially if someone else knows, even a stranger. jade shows her true self, and covers jonahs mouth so they cant scream. she says that jonah has a good thing here theyre wasting, theyre alive on earth and theyre trying to throw it away! she says her superior (god) put jonah on earth for a reason, and they have no right to give up their gift. she says she will help them get their life back together, if nothing else but for her own piece of mind. besides, if she can help them get themself back on track, maybe they wont even end up in hell when they die for real! one less soul for her coworkeers to process. jonahs too scared of what she could do to them that they agree. jade does not mention that she was sent here to kill them.

while jade tries (mostly fails) to help jonah get their shit together, we go back to hell. jonah had friends back there, you know! and her (self described) best friend misses her a whole lot. why is jade still gone? she should be back by now! zircon isnt happy at all. she needs to go up to the surface and check up on her! but demons are not supposed to be on earth, even someone as important as zircon, since she represents one of the sins and outranks almost everyone else. luckily, calcite (grim reaper) is in hell for some "drop offs", and zircon is nothing if not charismatic. she convinces them to bring her up to the surface, she wont be gone long, no one will miss her, she wont cause any trouble! they say fine, as long as she does them a favour too: they want souls, mortal souls, ones that are unaccounted for, which means an unplanned death from demon intervention. zircon says shes fine with that, the damned are considered lesser than a demon anyway (it goes damned souls > demons > sinners (which in itself is aquamarine > amber > cinnabar > jade > zircon > sunstone > sapphire) > dragon's breath opal > the boss > neutral souls > angels > blessed souls > the superior), as long as she only picks off the absolute scum of the earth its no skin off her back! so she convinces bloodstone to come along, because she can "see" a mortals soul despite being otherwise blind. bloodstone fancied a holiday, plus the ability to "play with" a human that has a beating heart. bloodstones "friends" alexandrite, rhodizite and obsidian (and rhodi + obsidians friend serpentine) tag along, as long as they all promise to be very busy. with all the commotion they get the attention of dragon's breath opal, who probably would have said something about it to the boss (shes such a mamas boy 🙄) if zircon hadnt "convinced her" to come with them. bloodstone is very uncomfortable with opal being there but its brushed off as her being afraid of someone who outranks her. they are all taken to the surface, and if youre keeping track, thats now EIGHT demons on earth, only one of which was given permission!

meanwhile, opal was seen by amber, who was opals best friend (and... more 🤔). they dont like this, they dont like the way zircon looked at her, or how she looked at zircon! aquamarine tells them to stop being so protective and controlling, and they say she wouldnt get it, they dont feel that way about anyone, ever. cinnabar says amber could ask to join them? amber says thats a dumb idea, and aqua tells them to lay off cinnabar, everyone likes cinnabar! cinnabar hasnt done anything wrong in her life. ambers like 🙄 whatever, and sneaks off to follow them. cinnabar goes after them, but is caught by sapphire, who is really upset with her but lets her go as long as shes on her best behaviour. cinnabar says she will be, she always is, and blows sapphire a kiss through her hazmat suit. sapphire does not catch it. aqua goes with cinnabar to "protect her" (she doesnt like the influence sapphire has on her, she doesnt think this is healthy, but it is again brushed off bc she doesnt feel that way about anyone), which means it is now three more demons on earth, at 11. no one notices two more sneaking out, bringing it up to unlucky number 13 before everything closes.

zircon and bloodstone settle into a regular routine of going out, bloodstone pointing out who has the muddiest soul, zircon seducing them and either killing them herself or bringing them back to the abandoned, severely weather damaged barn they made "home base". bloodstone likes when zircon brings them home bc it means she, alex and rhodi can get "messier". zircon is indifferent. through all this, opal acts as zircons bodyguard, because shes the biggest and the strongest (second to alexandrite but shes focused on bloodstone). opals bodyguard title was entirely self appointed, she just likes being close to zircon. through all this, zircon keeps a close eye on jade, and gets increasingly jealous of that human shes spending so much time with. what could they possibly have that she doesnt! theyre made of flesh and blood, gross, and look at their soul! its dark and muddy like the murkiest waters (bloodstone insists it is extremely middle of the road as terms as souls go, and she swears its a lot lighter than it was last time she saw it? zircon ignores her), and jade was supposed to kill them! surely jades not thinking straight? if she can just get her away from them, shes sure shell come to her senses! after all, whats one more human to the pile?

calcite is extremely happy with the output of souls theyre getting under the table, and wants zircon to... "up production" as it were. zircon says shes already working herself to the bone (she asks if thats offensive. calcite almost answers but zircon says she doesnt actually care). calcite says they have an... idea. yknow, theres someone else whos on earth whos not supposed to be. zircon asks if they were followed, and calcite says thats not what theyre talking about. its not a demon. its an angel.

while calcite leads zircon (and opal, who insisted on coming) to the angel, bloodstone is "in charge" of the others. this is the set up to book 2, but in the meantime, zircon finds the angel. where exactly she hid herself on earth im muddy on, i originally thought an abandoned office building would be funny but maybe it should be like, a graveyard. idk. anyway, the angel still thinks theyre above the demons, and doesnt respect her, but zircon says theyre on earth so she doesnt think the hierarchy applies. the angel concedes, but only because thats half the reason they defected anyway. they used to be the angel appointed to judge mortal souls, along with a demon decided for the same position. they worked as equals for millennia, and over that time the two of them became friends. which wasnt supposed to happen! angels are above demons. their partnership was just so theyd have two perspectives. but despite that, they got close. the angel started to see themself as an individual, instead of an extension of the superior, and they felt dirty. it was wrong. they were made to fulfil a purpose. the demon encouraged it, they even gave them a name instead of a number. the demon called them corvid. corvid began to call the demon their, her name too. they missed diamond. but it wasnt right. they didnt want to be part of this anymore. every part of this whole situation was wrong. they were expected to think themself above the only being who had ever respected them, and the worst part was they still did. they couldnt be here. they left diamond alone to do the job they had both doing for their entire existences, and now they were both alone.

zircon says shes, like, soooooooo bummed to hear about that. but she kinda needs a favour? corvid asks why she would ever help a demon, and zircon says because theyre the same. theyre on earth because they cant be with their girlcrushes, right? corvid calls her an idiot, and zircon says shes not the angel convening with a demon. if her boss, if their superior finds out, corvid wouldnt be pushed to hell to become a demon. shed be killed, wiped from existence, there was no good to come of it. and zircon doesnt want to snitch, honest! but she will if corvid makes some poor decisions and doesnt give her what she wants. corvid goes along with her because she doesnt think she has a choice. zircon introduces them to opal, and says theyll be helping them out. corvid says "she". zircon slaps her on the back and says "attagirl"

back with jonah, theyre struggling really hard. jade is pushing them to get their shit together but she lacks compassion, and what someone who is actively suicidal needs is not to be insulted constantly. mary is there of course, shes nice to jonah, but jade doesnt want the two anywhere near each other. jade cant see souls like bloodstone can, but after several weeks she can tell that mary is different. shes a blessed soul, completely pure, destined for heaven, which is a really rare sight nowadays (she is currently the only blessed soul alive. everyone else is either "neutral" (their soul will immediately be consumed by the superior to create using their energy) or "damned" (they will be sent to hell for "processing", they are beaten and tortured until their souls are deemed suitable for the superior). mary can tell that jade is cold to her, and assumes its bc she doesnt like her. the last thing jade wants is to upset the blessed, so she tries to fix things. she takes her out to dinner, and mary comes out of it thinking that jade is into her and is so flattered but shes not really looking for relationship right now? jade says. okay. mary hugs her goodnight and it hurts bc jade is a demon and mary is holy but jade manages to keep a straight face

on the way back to home base, corvid feels guilty. she says theres something she did a long time ago that she wants to fix. zircon says she can help, after all, theyre all friends here. they take a detour across the country (zircon stole someones car soon after getting to earth. she "sort of" knows how to drive. she does not care for speedlimits, and probably not designated roads) until corvid leads them to their destination. centuries ago, the boss (not her boss. they were equals) asked her for help "taking care of some unruly demons". usually the punishment for any sort of infraction was death, but... well, theyd been understaffed, and itd be a shame to kill them. or at least, thats the excuse the boss used. she said the plan was to keep the offenders on the surface, on earth for a bit, just until they were remorseful. that was over 400 years ago, with them trapped on earth, all alone, unable to leave the bounds of the salt circle corvid was told to make for them. now, to be fair, they had like... a house! its fine. theyre fine. they went utterly batshit crazy in there, but in the mid 1900s boss told calcite to get them a TV, which they have taken VERY good care of because it is all they fucking have. it is in black and white.

zircon thinks this is GREAT news, new friends! more hands on deck, as it were. when corvid kicks aside the salt to let zircon and opal through, zircon walks in (the door was not locked. why would it be?) like she owns the place, and talks to them like theyre old friends (they were probably barely acquainted before their imprisonment). she says shes doing them a favour, and will let them out if they follow everything she says. zebra jasper wants to take her up on the offer, anything if it means getting out, but ruby thinks being her little servants would be just as bad. they argue for a bit, before zircons attention is on prisoner #3. a slightly deformed freak of nature, who doesnt seem angry, she just seems scared. corvid doesnt recognise this one. she says shes changed a lot. she says she didnt used to have a name, but ruby and jasper started calling her kyanite. zircon asks kyanite if she wants to get out of this dump, and kya says shed do anything. zircon walks kyanite out with her hand around her waist (kyanite is instantly smitten with the first new face shes seen in years and zircon can tell) and tells corvid to lock the other losers back up. they had their chance. corvid cant bring herself to do it, so she opens another hole in the salt round the back, whispers to ruby and jasper about it, says shes sorry for everything and closes the front back up. ruby and jasper are now free to go wherever they want, and they know exactly what they want to do

all of this is interspersed with jonahs journey of "self improvement", with it becoming increasingly clear that things are NOT going good for them and jade is NOT qualified for this. jonah just wants to crawl up into a ball and die, but jade wont let them. which is theoretically a good thing, but its paired with her constantly insulting them, calling the ungrateful and selfish, and it stopped being "cute" and "quirky" a long time ago.

zircon and her "friends" (opal, corvid and kyanite. by this point, bloodstone and those guys are kind of doing their own thing) continue what zircon was doing before: zircon seduces people, her opal and kyanite kill them. originally corvid pointed out humans with damned souls, but zircon soon stops caring about that at all as she goes mad for the thrill of the kill (and also the souls she was consuming without telling calcite. it gives you such a buzz!). corvid feels disgusting for going along with this, this isnt what she wanted either! but she and kyanite mutually enable each others behaviour. they understand each other and push each other to keep going because its all they have. zircon doesnt care about any of their feelings as she gets more and more obsessed with the idea of killing jonah and taking jade for herself. she means, letting jade come back home, like she clearly wants to! this is for jades on good. not just because zircon wants her. totally not.

during all of this, amber cinnabar and aqua were keeping an eye on things. not intervening of course, at least not often, but making sure zircon wasnt getting too powerful. a lot of them is focused on their own interpersonal drama, mostly about ambers possessiveness over opal, cinnabars totally healthy and not at all manipulative relationship with sapphire, and aquamarines old friendship with zircon and why they stopped being friends. aqua acts as the "leader", making sure theyre staying on track as amber and cinnabar are prone to goofing off. theyve never been on the surface before! cinnabars never eaten before, which amber thinks is unfair. after all, shes the one with a tongue. they do clash with zircons group several times, at first it seems rather even but as they go from 2 to 4, and zircons group gets stronger, aquas group realises that theyre outmatched. or at least, they think they are. they can all be a lot stronger than they think they are.

jonah gets fired from their job. it wasnt even their fault, not really, but jade is super mad at them. it took them so long to get it in the first place! jonah drinks from the beer they bought on the way home, and jade yells at them bc they SWORE theyd stop drinking! jonah tells her to fuck off. jade takes the beer out of their hand and pours it out in front of them, and they both get so heated in the argument that neither of them notice when mary comes home. while jade is not hiding the fact shes a demon.

mary is so furious that jonah let that thing into her flat, that she pays for! that she barely even notices that jonah is drunk. she cant do this. she never wanted ANY of this! she just wanted to live a normal life! she leaves, to stay with her parents for a bit, she doesnt know she just needs out. jade blames jonah, says its their fault, that everyone leaves them. jonah asks why jade doesnt leave too, so she does, and jonah is all alone. they finish the beer they bought. they throw up in the bathroom. they look at themself in the mirror and they hate what they see. they go through the cabinets for something but theres a knock on the door. they answer it.

its zircon.

jonah wakes to rain on their face from the massive hole in the roof. they are hungover. they cant move their limbs, theyre tied up. zircon says she could have made it quick, but theyve been such a pain for her, so she wants to enjoy this. corvid doesnt think they deserve any of this, she means... their soul isnt even damned anymore. theyd be sent straight to the superior to "recycle". zircon tells her to shut the fuck up. kyanite and opal dont care as long as zircon is happy, and zircon is about to be really happy.

she is not happy, however, when shes pelted in the back of the head with a soda can. cinnabar shoplifted it on the way over here. zircon thinks this is suuuuuuch a pain, but its okay. she thinks of them as the main course, with jonah the dessert. shes ready to squash them like the insects they are, before she realises theres a fourth person with them. shes instantly out of it, reaches out to hug jade, say shes missed her so much. they havent seen each other in months! or, well. zircons seen jade. jade hasnt seen zircon.

jade asks her very calmly to hand over her little pet project (cinnabar doesnt like that phrase. its what aqua said she was to sapphire and by this point she doesnt think thats totally wrong) and zircon laughs, tells her that every project ends sometime. besides, jade always looked so miserable with them. wont she be so much happier in hell? jade says she really wouldnt. she hated it in hell. its cold and dark and theres nothing to do except kill kill kill. thats why she was so mad at jonah. they were able to live on the surface, do anything they wanted in life and they chose to give it all up to return there. and she shouts over zircons shoulder and says shes sorry, jonah, she shouldnt have been like that. she was just frustrated. shell be better. (aqua says shes heard that before, and jade tells her to shut up, shes not helping. aqua says she doesnt want to help with this particular situation, she wants to kill zircon, they just needed jade bc shes the one who could track down jonah by scent. jade says whatever)

zircon is pissed, because this is all so difficult for her. all she wanted was to bring jade back, it shouldnt have to be this hard! she downs another soul, and feels better, then another and another and its bad, shes getting too strong, but its okay because amber is talking to opal. they can save her. they can bring her back to their side, and corvid decided fuck this the second they showed up and left, and kyanite is... well, shes kyanite. it might as well be 3 against 1 (amber holding opal back), and, well... its not like corvid took her stuff with her. her jar of holy water (she cried a lot) was left alone, which is really good for aquamarine.

a fight breaks out, zircon holding her own for a bit, them all destroying whats left of the barn. a beam falls. it crushes jonahs spine. jade stops what shes doing and goes to jonah, now deciding she just needs to get them out of here. she unties them but they cant move. jade cant pull them from under it. jonah says its okay, theyll accept it, but jade doesnt WANT to accept it. she says theres one thing she can do to help but jonah wont like it. she asks to buy jonahs soul. its different, more powerful than taking the soul of the dead because its actually in her ownership, woven into her very being. it will help. jonah can ask for anything they want and theyll get it, its not important, all jade needs is to own their soul and everything will be okay. jonah decides they trust her. you do not see what jonah asked for in return, but in a later book you find out it was "to be happy". now owning jonahs soul, jade possessed their body and pilots them like a meat puppet, strong enough to drag them from out of the rubble, and managing to get to their feet and walk out of their despite. you know. the shattered spine.

nearing the end of the fight, aqua sees the holy water, originally hidden bc it was poison to 2.5 of the other beings living there. she grabs it, opens the lid, and takes control of the water. she splashes zircon, who screams in agony and reaches out for jade, who wasnt there. corvid wasnt there either. opal is being held back, and kyanite is... well, shes kyanite. zircon is alone. she knows she is going to die, for good. she looks at aqua, and smiles, and says she couldnt have chosen a better demon die at their hands, before shattering into a million tiny pieces. amber stops holding opal back, who runs to the remains and feels the dust fall through her claws. aqua, cinnabar and amber tell her that its okay, theyre going home. opal cries but goes with them.

jade controls jonah to take themself closer to the city, then calls an ambulance for them on jonahs phone, which miraculously survived even with the screen cracked to shit. she also calls mary but she does not pick up. jade asks how jonah feels. they say everything hurts and jade says no shit, then that shes sorry for saying that, she knows jonahs having a rough time right now. jonah laughs, and jade thinks they look much better with a smile on their face.

kyanite stays after everyone else left and shoves as much of zircons remains in the holy water jar as she could. she says she is going to find bloodstone.

#ask #regemption #regem #my ocs #cannot BEGIN to tell you how long this is #also i missed out a few things but this is like. basically everything ive got #other than stuff to do with why zircon is the way she is which could be its own post #also as i said i didnt go into too much detail with aqua + cinna + amber. again. could be its own post
