#* - headcanons.

[sapphicdib]

Okay I genuinely did not want to touch this discourse with a 10 foot pole, but seeing as I’ve gotten 3 anons harassing me about this shit I’m going to make myself clear:

My iterators’ pronouns and sexualities are my headcanons and mine alone. If you don’t like them, BLOCK ME. Don’t come into my inbox being passive aggressive TO A NONBINARY LESBIAN about who “can” and “can’t” be nonbinary or lesbian based on pronouns.

If you have genuine, good faith questions about how my iterators identify, I will be happy to answer! But don’t come onto MY blog and tell me how to tell MY stories.

I am tired of this fucking discourse and it makes me, as a nonbinary person, feel disrespected and belittled in this community.

[pomniegranate]

What I love about Pomni hating the idea and fact of being touched ... is when the tables turn on her. When SHE finally feels comfortable enough or trusts the other person enough for just a simple touch, to go as far as holding hands is a huge sign of trust for her. And when the other person is receptive to it - it makes a shy flutter happen in her chest. For a moment, if only a moment, she realizes what her fear has made her miss out on. And what she went without for so long in her life.

Not realizing just how much she craved it.

[s4lesman]

my personal opinion is that the salesman hates every single one of the players and would kill them in a heart beat . you know who would disarm him ? this woman . ok listen he doesn't feel fond of her ,, but if she showed him the slightest hint of motherhood and took care of him he'd freeze . he'd stare at her for a vv long time and eventually nod a tiny thank you w blank face . his dad was an ass but his mom ? she was sick all his life , he'd try to talk to her but his sister would shoo him away bc she's sick and she couldn't listen to how he sang the kindergarten song right today heh .

EXTERMINATIONS AND WHY LUCIFER WAS THE CAUSE OF THEM OCCURING 👑:

Let's start from the beginning all the way back when Lucifer was God's favorite angel in Heaven, curated around the image of what God, himself, deemed as perfect, the example for all seraphim kind. This is strictly based off my own perception, headcanons and research diving into the many religions that depict Lucifer along with Viv's vision she's created into the show.

( LONG READ BELOW THE CUT. )

God is the all seeing eye; He can see past, present and future. If we use this consensus and connect it to Lucifer, who I have referred to as Samael based on some scriptures, religions or TV shows prior to his fall and banishment. God always knew of his path down to Sin. He knew very well and created Samael as an example, a scapegoat, and put him purposefully in a position for that fate to happen. Give him the responsibility of being the keeper to foresee life in Eden and connect with the creations he made, teach them and have Samael be the spokesperson for God.

Even if God knew what was to befall onto Samuel, this was all a hunting grounds, a test to see if his willpower and faith in God would counteract the fate he foresaw for his favorite angel. And his answer was set in stone. Before I get myself off track, Samael was known in Heaven as a prince, though his status often made him feel like a pariah, especially after his exposure to the first humans in Eden. He didn't see himself As Above, So Below them. His interactions with Adam, Lilith and Eve started to make him question not only how Heaven and God operated - but why. Samael wanted to make a difference, him falling for Lilith was something he, himself, didn't foresee but her incredible grasp in knowledge pushed him further to question; to want to make a difference.

However, in the eyes of God, it was seen as a betrayal of trust; especially after Samael took it upon himself to offer the one forbidden thing in Eden: The Tree of Knowledge, where the sacred fruit that Samael even warned the beings in Eden about, was now offering to them. The chance of Free Will. Although in some depictions, Samael offered the fruit to Eve first, I'm going off Viv's vision that he offered it to Lilith first. Who, with Lilith's help, offered it also to Eve. Who then offered it to the wary one out of the bunch, Adam.

We all know what happens from here. God used Samael as an example and banished both Lilith and Samael to Hell, a place only deserving of those ridden with Sin. Here, is where Lucifer was born, dropping his Angelic dead name for a more suited title for him. This is also where those who believed in Lucifer's preachings about Heaven and God, rightfully now known as the Sins of Hell, fought back against his ruling and also banished those who believe in Samael, believing his actions in Eden spilled Sin into Heaven and tainted some of Heaven's highest angels and seraphims.

HOW EXTERMINATIONS ARE CONNECTED TO THE MORNINGSTAR FAMILY:

As Lucifer once tried to do in Heaven, he tried to do in Hell. Just like in "More Than Anything", Lucifer saw himself in his daughter; the person he used to be. In the early stages of Hell, Lucifer also tried his own way of redeeming sinners, to prove to himself, and to God, that his efforts previously in Heaven weren't in vain. That his efforts in allowing beings to have Free Will weren't all for naught. And truthfully, they weren't! But God is a bastard and never allowed Lucifer to see the good that came of allowing being to have Free Will, only allowing him to see the bad. Because he was being punished. Being the King of Hell, losing his status and connection with those he once was close to. As a reminder of his Sins.

Again, his efforts were fruitless, he was crushed down yet again and he no longer was graced with the word of God's voice; and this was the beginning of spiral into depression, his loss of self, and his aspirations. He didn't care about Hell; but Lilith thrived. She took over what we see Hell to become.

Now, let's fast forward. Though Lilith controlled a lot of the reigns in Hell, Lucifer's word as King cemented most of the decisions finalized. Even though he didn't care. Sinners were a constant reminder of his failures, and they were overpopulating FAST. Now, Sera, one of the seraphims that never spoke against God regarding Lucifer's actions, was the closest he'd get to Him. And she came with a proposal. EXTERMINATIONS. Whether it'd been God's idea, Lucifer would never truly know. He didn't care. God cursed and chained him to forever live in his regrets for his actions against Him.

Lucifer heavily considered the deal but not without his own stipulations: his family and him were not to be fucked with during this time, because he cared deeply for the Sins who threw everything away in the name of Lucifer, they were not to be affected with either - and those with the highest status just below royalty and Sins had protection as well; but why is that? Why would Lucifer care in any vicinity for sinners like Overlords to have protection? The answer was simple: Lilith. If anything, the people of Hell were her people and not his, so he tried to meet in the middle of lowering the numbers in Hell without stepping on any toes.

The problem was, he did this without letting anybody know. He thought it'd be best to keep it under wraps and let the sinners believe that the exterminations were Heaven's idea. And I think Lilith learning on her own of the devastating decisions Lucifer made behind her back without her knowledge is what caused her to leave him.

His depression grew worse, to the point he came to terms with adopting what God always deemed him to be: The Sin of Pride. He wore his mask happily, wanting every inch of the Pentagram to know him as someone you DON'T want to fuck with, someone not readily available to bestow his honor upon; his way of coping with his chains to Hell. He started to hyper fixate and focus on what he once used to be, an angel, with incredible powers but used it for the sake of keeping himself sane. Ducks were of great importance to him especially after Lilith's disappearance because it was the only thing he had left that reminded him of her, from their past back in Eden.

Now, after all of this, having both the King and Queen of Hell absent, how is Hell still operating? Lucifer did the bare minimum to sate the Sins and the citizens of Hell. He was never here, there, or the other unless he absolutely NEEDED to be. His hatred for sinners grew deep, and his ego of his previous status kept him above water mentality, if barely. Lilith had Hell operating to the point where the people in every ring of Hell had people within pretty much managing the ring themselves: the Sins, the Overlords. Think of it like a Mafia claiming territory and ruling over their respective spaces.

MY BRAIN IS STARTING TO FRY AND I FEEL LIKE,,, I MISSED A LOT OF KEY POINTS AND THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE BUT. TADAAAA. MAYBE I'LL TRY REFINING THIS ONE DAY.

[kinlochs]

i keep thinking about cassian's Templar branding. that it's so close to being in plain sight and yet always buried underneath layers. that he doesn't utter a single breath about it—and the only time he will is if someone else sees it and asks about it. the brand is a real, tangible point of shame for him. he hates it. he can't heal it by magical means. it's a stain upon his body that will never go away.

i also think about how he'll never let anyone associated with the chantry ever touch it. alistair, leliana, cullen, mother giselle—you name it. while he does want to have a good relationship with them, there will always be a seed deep down inside of him that is very distrustful and very weary of anyone who follows the chantry. it's a deeply embedded prejudice that stems from even before the circle, but especially during. us vs them. weaponization of religion. undermining mages, making them out already as abominations. keeping them chained and watched.

if he does allow someone to touch it then it is clear that he trusts you very deeply.

[thrucrax]

bert raised in a cult and despite growing a very strong sense of introspection & self-awareness,   he is still very vulnerable to falling for lies and deceit, especially love bombing.   bert has an undying wholesome hope that people are inherently good and mean the best always,   he would put himself on the line for a remorseless serial killer or take the word of a chronic liar. tl;dr: if you told bert that there was a photo of him in the dictionary next to gullible, he would look it up.

[empcrer]

Since I saw a Tiktok of folks hating on Emp– I want to address some old points that yes, he did enthrall Stelmane, but what Baldur's Gate fails to address is the Knights of the Shield's higher-ups worshiped the devil Garguath; and kept that worship a secret to the rest of their members.

My headcanon's include that Emp enthralled Stelmane to take back some control of Knights of Shield since Garguath is a devil of political corruption. Baldur's Gate is very important to him, so enthralling her was a risky chess move that he very much regrets.

When illithids enthrall someone they become very attached. With Stelmane, Emp was very affectionate of her. So much so that his bond with her bordered romantic. So when Gortash / the Absolute ripped him away from her they severed Emp's and Stelmane's "bond" instantly, leaving her injured and partially paralyzed.

Her ailments, and her murder, are something Emp fully blames himself for. Which is why he never wishes to enthrall someone ever again.

So did he enthrall her? Absolutely. Was it right to do? Absolutely not. Does he think it was necessary? Yes. Did she reciprocate his affection? Nahhh brother. But does he miss his wife? He misses her a lot.

[pomniegranate]

Hello, it's 8am and no one's on but I woke up thinking about how Pomni would actually be such a good mom.

She'd have that cold shiver of doubt and panic when first figuring out she's pregnant and go through the motions of "oh God, I'm not ready to be a mother, I've barely lived my life!" but she'd do everything possible to do anything she needed for the life inside her to flourish. I can see her getting massive acid reflux during her pregnancy and being addicted to eating anything sweet and fruity, and that's probably what ends up being the worst of it for her. She's short and small, I imagine she'd be one of those women where you couldn't tell she was carrying from behind until she turned to her side.

When the day finally comes to conceive, her mind runs a million miles per hour and trudges through all the possible emotions doubting she'd be able to even make it through without dying.

But when it's all said and done, and she hears that first cry, when her arms are cradled with that life that now solely depends on her. Everything clicks into place for her finally; her eyes expand in absolute adoration and her resolve sits heavy with "...Oh my God, I would do anything for you."

And she'd stride and be everything that she never got when she was a child, Pomni would try her best to ease up on her workaholic ways just so her own child can experience what it would be like to have parent(s) who are actively in their lives and show them the beauty and love life has to offer.

She'd definitely be an antsy, nervous mom; always so worried over the littlest things and if she's doing everything right for the sake of her child. She wouldn't rest easy and fret constantly every time her child falls asleep, worried if they'd stop breathing, are too cold/hot, etc. Would always end up finding herself with her baby constantly attached to herself, because she doesn't trust taking her eye off her child for one second.

Pomni never thought about being a mom, it never was an idea that ever entered her mind after her own upbringing and she thought she'd be absolutely rotten at it; but now that she was one, she wouldn't change it for the world. And she'd do anything to hear them smile or laugh, and realizing in her heart and mind, that every tribulation she faced to make it here was all well and worth it.

hair was once a symbol of pride. the silk touch as she dragged her fingers through its strands, accompanied by the faint smell of vanilla of the serum. cherie had loved her hair. its a guillotine now, staring down as the pieces fall onto the floor of the dirty bathroom.

the sting of foreign fingers yanking: a touch unwelcome, and the cry she wailed almost banshee like. the safety of sanctum ripped from reach, and the door is shut to her. she is faced with death, sweet old friend. because someone dared to lay their filthy hands on a part of her body. she does not dare scream, not even when their eyes fixate on her fallen form in front of the murder room.

but this could not be the end for her. no, she had come too far. half of the games, and she is still alive. mind blurred, the laugh that fall from her lips is lost. a witch's cackle, and it alerts a friend. or a foe, she could never tell. they all mix together, they all appear silly. but they help her up, stolen from the clutches of unavoidable end, and into another prison. the world spins, and unfocused on the gun shots that should've killed her. but she knows, she knows that to survive, this hair. this beautiful piece of her, her pride: it must go.

[s4lesman]

some things the salesman has done before he got involved with the games ; one ) join an illegal gambling club and since he's vv clever , could count the cards and practically know who had what card in their hands which caused the others to get angry , beat him up and burn his little apartment . two ) marry an old woman for her money , steal from her and fuck her brother who later tortured him for three days in the basement both for hurting his sister and betraying him lol . funny story fr . 🐣
