Maybe Malvo's extreme perfectionism stems from a childhood of being called a "blight on this world" and a "disgrace to his blood".

Maybe Maxlar’s tendency to forgive easily stems from a lifetime of being singled out and hated, to have grudges held against him.

Maybe Hades's quickness to trust stems from being host to a parasite, a life in which he can't even trust himself.

Maybe Devon's fierce loyalty comes from a culture of uncaring, from a life spent fighting for his right to be, and he can't be the one to do the same.

Maybe Aten's paranoia comes from a place of utter betrayal, from a time of deep pain by the very ones he thought could never possibly hurt him.

And maybe they aren't perfect. And maybe they aren't good. But they're surviving the best they can, and is that not enough?

Hide: Devon

Ooh spicy

Cause the thing is, my big boy here is a pretty open book. Especially when it comes to his best friend Maxlar.

But he's always been hiding the actual connotations his massive dragon form actually has. See, for Dragons, the Bigger the dragon, the more Power they have. Quite literally, it's the Biggest Dragon gets to be King/Queen.

Devon could easily compete for the crown.

His parents even tried to pressure him into it, but he refused. He honestly hardly ever uses his Dragon form, even when surrounded by other Dragons. He genuinely doesn't want everyone finding out he could easily becoming Crown King. He wants to keep living his life on the edge, going with the flow with Maxlar and their friends.

Besides, he's seen what stress Hades gets placed under after he becomes King of the Night Watchers. And he doesn't want them.

Not to mention the fact, he actually trusts the opinions/leadership quality of the current reigning King and the one competing for the throne once this one retires/dies. He's never seen a reason to be involved in politics, but he knows once everyone hears he could be Dragon King, he'd be unable to avoid it. So, he keeps that to himself.

Part One. Part Two

It seems so strange to me, to have him sitting across from me laughing and joking like I wasn't responsible for his best friend's misery. He asked a lot of questions, mostly about certain choices I had made for him and his friends. I had sheepishly explained that sometimes those things just come to me and they feel perfect, that there's no real rhyme or reason half the time.

He seems content with that, content with the knowledge that even I am not in control.

"Does he get a happy ever after?" He asks, so out of the blue from the lighthearted nature of our conversation. I try to smile at him, but he sees right through me. A quiet nod and his lips press together tightly.

"Makes sense. Whishlings aren't very lucky creatures, are they?" He asks, looking at me with such despair in his eyes it hurts. What I wouldn't give for the loyalty of a dragon.

I shake my head no, there's no point in saying it out loud.

No point in stating the obvious and cruel way I have treated their world.

Cause I just saw a post bout Coffee, what would your OC's coffee orders?

Just being a lil curious creature

I'm gonna do all of them starting with the COD ones

Bryn likes hot coffee with a bit of creamer and sugar. Not too much but still not quite bitter. Is very strict about only drinking one cup in the morning.

Woody actually doesn't like coffee, believe it or not. He's more of a tea drinker.

Truck is unsurprisingly simple. Black coffee with like a single spoonful of sugar. No one is sure if the sugar makes any difference but he swears there is. He can always somehow tell if his coffee is missing the sugar.

Ness doesn't like hot drinks but hates iced coffee so he ends up letting his coffee sit and get a bit lukewarm before chugging it all in one go. He doesn't often add anything to it but he also gets coffee that isn't as strong.

Flash is an iced latte kind of guy. Absolutely does not need coffee and is banned from it, but on the rare occasion he manages to get his hands on some, it's an iced latte

Bennett is a cold brew guy but with nothing added. Just the straight cold brew coffee.

Maxlar drinks any and all kinds of coffee. Hot, cold, doesn't matter to him. Black or so full of sugar and cream it's barely considered coffee anymore.

Malvo doesn't drink coffee, or anything actually because he doesn't need to. He's offended you would assume he drinks coffee, and especially offended you assume it's straight, steaming hot black coffee.

Devon doesn't drink coffee because he's a big Dragon and caffeine is terrible for big Dragons like him.

Hades drinks hot coffee with a buttload of creamer. It's still got enough of a coffee taste that it still counts but he's pushing the limit.

Aten, despite also being a dragon and shouldn't be drinking coffee, is a cold brew with creamer kind of guy. Hades is going to have a heart attack and die if he catches Aten drinking coffee again.

Troy, despite being a vampire, still chugs what's left of Aten's coffee when he gets yelled at for drinking coffee. It is the only coffee Troy will drink. It's weird and he knows and he doesn't care.

I would love to hear about this!

So tempted to hit y'all with OC stuff but they're not even Fandom ocs, they're just my little guys (and gals)

The idea I have for a COD x OG work crossover is insane and chaotic and I need to stop thinking

I hope your head gets to feeling better soon.

For context, the actual narrative of my original work is basically the modern world coexists with inhuman species and magic users. There's more for the specific homebrewed species of mine on @snootlessimperfectworld that will also help explain some things. Specifically looking at the "Let's Talk Series"

Here's a thing about the OCs I posted previously but I'll be adding more here, don't worry

But for today, the focus is the use of "portals" throughout the work. Literally the main conflict in this is the result of a Dragon breaking out of prison and into the realm where Humans exist, thus breaking interdimensional boundaries.

I really just can't stop picturing the 141 getting sent to a random location due to some really weird signals/energy changes/some other thing that raises concern. There's reports of people patrolling the massive compound, and there's starting to be rumors they're actually harboring some weapons of mass destruction.

The team arrives and they find the building to be... empty. There's no sign of people or any hint as to what they were doing.

They're about to give up when they find a hangar connected to the back of the building. They decide to check it, just to be safe, and enter the hangar without really knowing what they're walking into.

Instead of vehicles or even storage bins, they find a Dragon. A massive, teal colored Dragon chained to the floor and sleeping. Or at least, tranquilized. The Dragon's wings are stretched above it at an awkward angle, there's massive steel collars around its neck, tail, and snout. It's legs are pinned underneath him, and there's massive chains keeping the bulk of its body against the floor.

The 141 is so in shock by what they're seeing, they can't even say anything. They just kind of walk around the dragon like "?????"

Eventually, Soap reaches out and touches the dragon cause "how could they do this to you?". Next thing they know, they're releasing the dragon's chains and hoping it stays asleep long enough for them to leave. They'll deal with the consequences later, all right?

Except by the time they're done with that, the dragon is Awake and some other stuff happens and they run into my little troop of idiots.

Maxlar is the first one they encounter (excluding Devon, the Dragon featured above), and he's just all "oh geez, thanks guys for releasing him. I was real worried about him, ya know?"

I'm just thinking of Malvo, my grumpy cold-exterior "I am better than all of you" little Demon man, basically telling the 141 to piss off and let them deal with their issues in peace. Of course Price refuses, cause "that's a dragon and you guys are weird, we're not just letting you wander around"

Hades trying to step in and prevent things from getting worse. He's trying his best to not have a mental breakdown. These guys are scary and guns still kill Night Watchers, okay? He's trying to be a good King and be a good diplomat but it's really not working when these guys clearly are serious and he's got Maxlar, Devon, and Troy behind him cracking jokes like it's a normal Tuesday. That and he's got Malvo threatening them in increasingly intricate ways, and he's really just very tired and wants to go home.

Finally, they reach a kind of truce, and the 141 decides to assist them in making it back to their world. Hades wants to cry from relief, but there's still a lot of things left to discuss.

Someone on his side of things asks "what do we do with these guys?" while pointing at the 141.

Aten, the feral little dragon he is: *with a growl* Eat them 141: Huh??? Troy, a vampire: Yeah, I am kinda hungry. Price: We agreed to help! Aten: And you'll be helping by filling our stomachs! Hades: What the bloody hell is wrong with you two?! NO! I swear- *covers face and just stands there for a moment* Gaz: Is he okay? Aten: Oh yeah, this is normal for him. Maxlar: If Hades isn't having at least one mental breakdown during a stressful situation, there's something incredibly wrong with him.

I mean, these are the people the 141 has to deal with:

Maxlar Whishling, a schizophrenic magic-wielder that's got a sort of "high on life" mentality and is just so unserious. The reason there's an interdimensional war happening in their world, and is adamant it's not actually his fault. Which yes, he's right, it's not technically his fault, but he's the reason still.

Devon Breathstone, Maxlar's best friend and partner in crime. An absolute unit of a human (around 7' tall and fucking huge all around) because he's a fucking Dragon. Incredibly chill and more controlled than Maxlar but clearly along for the ride

Malvo Whishling, Maxlar's younger brother turned Demon that is so fed up with everyone and everything. He's supposed to be dead, yet he's not, he's having to clean up after his brother's messes. Incredibly powerful magic user. Smarter than everyone, has no emotion, speaks in a very formal way, literally well-dressed.

Hades Evanchio, the King of the Night Watchers but more like the King of Anxiety. Never signed up to be King, was literally dragged into it. Cares deeply for his friend Maxlar but just really wants to go home and cuddle with his husband, okay? He's tired, leave him be.

Atendarajo Evanchio, Hades's feral husband. Definitely commits arson on a regular basis. Intentionally initiates chaos because he can. Also a dragon, but mini sized. Has crippling Small Dog Syndrome as a result of this. Will steal your kneecaps in a second.

Troy Fallwood, a vampire known for simply appearing in the most unusual circumstances only to disappear again for several months. A bastard and a fellow chaos instigator.

I just wanna witness Ghost feel intimidated because holy fuck that guy is huge-

I want Soap and Gaz to get fucking bullied by a feral little Dragon

I want Price to be arguing logistics with Anxiety Man and Smarter Than Everyone

I want Soap to slowly be integrated into the Chaos because Maxlar, Devon, Troy, and Aten all realize "hey he's actually kinda cool"

I want Gaz to get hit on by a vampire but he can't tell if it's because the vampire actually believes Gaz is attractive or because it's, as he said earlier, he's "kinda hungry"

I want Price to be fiercely protective of his team while Hades and Malvo are begging to get rid of the others
