i just came up with my reason for the human/wyvern war in my rewrite :3

shadrach, in his journey to rally troops against the divine warriors, comes to the dimension of eirene's greatest allies: wyvers.

she's healed and defended them, upheld their customs and traditions, protected their pride among "lesser lifeforms", even created this dimension for them. why would they ever turn on mother? he was a fool for coming. they would send him fleeing, they would hold him down and alert her and her warriors, they would kill him for what he'd done to her—

shad tells them she loves them, strangely. he reassures them eirene has no shortage of love for them.

instead, he tells them, love simply cannot outweigh loyalty. eirene's heart belongs to long-living things, but her charge is to the ultimate lamb of all living things, powerless in the grand scheme of things; humanity. they who couldn't help but be easily tempted towards pandora's box; they who had to be fragile, turbulent, temporary things.

yes, the wyverns had sheltered her, given her everything they could—riches, magic, kinship—, but humans had made her a goddess. the least she can do is protect their peace.

eirene will immortalize their fierce magnificence in stories; their memory will never die, that's for certain. but their freedom, this great power of being untethered by the flimsy, mewling things eirene has devoted herself to?

when shad's memory but a fairytale, eirene will demand subservience. no one will be uninvolved. no will not be an answer.

and so sparks this great battle, marking an unprecedented political battle among the wyverns between faith to eirene and the termination of humanity. rogue wyverns will make their stand in the overworld, where thousands of villagers are destroyed, and soon villages big and small will unite to discover the power of portals and the havoc they can wreak on their enemies.

and in the end, when the war is soothed? when the wyverns retire to their dimension and humans forget for the most part?

they'll see shad hadn't been lying.

guys remember that one small phase of my blog where it was just full of my ocs,, i just remembered i promised to talk about my rogue demigod group!! i based them off of maze runner, warrior cats (sue me), and camp half-blood and camp jupiter there's going to be MULTIPLE pieces of this just to get it explained quickly. small TW of drunk driver mention, homeless mention, and death mention. Just to explain the rogue demigod group very quickly, this is a group of homeless demigods, born from gods and mortals and nymphs, that don’t want to retreat to Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter, either strongly detesting their tradition or just plain not wanting to go where all the chaos is. Unfortunately, they do end up being quite unprepared when it comes to blood moons, where there’s a sudden flood of monsters hunting demigods nationwide, in which that moment is based off of Blackout from The Heights Musical. Check it out. There are quite a few roles for the demigods to play. There are gardeners and farmers; they tend to bushes, weeds, vegetation, et cetera. There are fighters and brawlers; they take care of skirmishes from monsters, other demigods, and bold mortals. There are strategists; they strategize, use tactics, et cetera. MAIN MEMBERS (THERE ARE MORE DEMIGODS THAN THIS): JESSICA “JESS” LAURENS - So, of course, we got my girl Jess here!! She’s really easygoing, laidback, silly, goofy, jokes a lot, and she loves to play around. She’s sort of lazy, relaxed, and isn’t worried about much, however her fatal flaw is Feelings Of Inadequacy. She is one of the oracles of the group, and she was the small oracle who’d “seen a vision” about the small boy, Chuck Arberin, her age that he was a demigod, and he’d change the group. However, she misinterpreted it; it was actually a warning, and it told her not to accept him into the group because he’d change it for the worse, but she did anyway. Jess is a daughter of Psyche, the goddess of the soul and mind. She’s seventeen, and antisocial, so she’s quiet and usually silent unless given a real reason to speak.

CONRAD QUICK - I’ve always been a fan of family guys and healers and caretakers. So, of course, this is one of the demigods with a custom role! He’s a caretaker; he takes care of young demigods, teaches them how to go out into the mortal world when they’re prepared and if they want to, and bandages up those injured in fights. He gets along with Dustin, because Dustin normally gets hurt and prefers to go to Conrad for healing. Conrad’s nineteen, and the son of Eirene, the goddess of peace. He’s protective, gentle, soft-spoken, awkward, more than timid, but will immediately be the first to jump to one of the rogue demigods’ defenses. He survived by being Quick, by escaping when he had to, and never, ever letting someone get the better of him. He’s often underestimated, but he’s shockingly fast and skillful with a dagger.

DUSTIN ROURKE - It wouldn’t be a demigod group without your classic fighter. So, this guy is a bit of a flirt; he’s loud and flirts with literally anyone, though he will not flirt with you if you don’t like it and/or you have a partner. He has a great memory. He’s the son of Tempesta, the goddess of sudden weather and storms, so he warns everyone to get into their tents, evacuate, et cetera, if there’s an especially bad storm or flood on the way. He’s a jokester, and he’s enthusiastic, but he does have a serious persona in battle; he’s not used to strategizing, but he’s good at acting out commands or enforcing them. He can be hot-tempered and reckless to the danger he is in when it comes to protecting others. Dustin is a fierce and daring warrior, often challenging others to fights arrogantly, and is all too aware of this; he takes extreme pride in his combat. His pride sometimes gets in the way of his good sense. Outspoken, impractical, fearless, fast learner, outspoken, vicious, terrifying, loyal, argumentative, determined, joking, silly, competitive and arrogant.

ALEXIS “ALEX” JOOST - This is the youngest commander out of the ten. She’s nineteen, and the daughter of Bia, the goddess of strength. I consider her a mix of Annabeth and Clarisse; she isn’t as smart as Annabeth, potentially not as strong as Clarisse, but I’m talking personality-wise. Alexis is very strong-minded and stubborn, incredibly determined and daring. She shows many signs of dauntlessness. Though she is kind-hearted, Alexis can be very harsh and judgmental during first meetings, but she’s very loyal to those who later win her approval. She isn’t quick to give up on those she cares about: even after learning The Incident, she never completely stopped caring about Chuck. She hides her worry with raw or teasing anger. Alexis’s fatal flaw is Hubris. Alexis can act arrogant at times. Alexis is very proud and defensive of her rogue demigods. Self-assured, heart of gold, sarcastic, resourceful and argumentative.

LONDON FARADAY DECEASED - She’s brave and considerate. She’s emotional. Sharp, peevish, sassy, finicky, protective, enthusiastic, eager, joyful, questioning golden-haired demigoddess; the daughter of Nike. She would do anything to win, but she doesn’t go over the rules; she sees rule-breaking in games like Capture the Flag as dishonorable and repulsive. She died at fifteen, when the others were fifteen and sixteen, when they were fleeing from camp during an attack and she hadn’t looked at the road, running straight into a speeding car with a drunk driver.

HECTOR CAMPBELL - My favorite. He’s a moody, snarky little guy. He’s a demigod; the son of Athena. He’s skeptical and cautious, with a biting sense of sarcasm and slightly dark humor. As expected of all children of Athena, he’s very smart and witty. He does what he needs to survive, and he was raised to not be warm and cozy because he didn’t trust others, and they didn’t trust him. Speaking of his morals, they make absolutely no sense. Hector absolutely hates it when he thinks his ‘habitat is being threatened,’ as in, his life has been abruptly changed and, Hector, like me, doesn’t like change at all.

CHUCK ARBERIN - We need redemption arcs, okay? I love them. He’s pessimistic, callous, and somber, though his mood lightens whenever he’s happy. He was cursed by the goddess Lyssa, the goddess of insanity, to go violent with random spurts of emotion, and it caused the Incident. After his burst of insanity, Chuck tends to isolate and or starve himself as punishment. However, he does have it in him to be silly, joking, sarcastic, a serious comedic relief, and is easy on the eyes. Chuck is lighthearted and humorous, gentle with others. His best friends are Kasey and Hector.

KASEY “KASE” DAMISCH DECEASED? -  He didn’t have such a great time! Just look at his lore if you have to know; it’s crazy. Now, Kasey is a mirrorball, sort of; he mirrors other people’s personalities out of insecurity and the desire to fit in. However, he's emotional and empathetic, feeling the emotions of others as if they were his own. He overthinks. When he's around people he's comfy with, he becomes loud, witty, and slightly dark-humored. Kasey is intuitive and perceptive; a skilled listener, communicator, and a good friend. He prioritizes others' needs over his own. He’s a son of Thanatos; the winged god of death. Kasey prefers peace over everything else.

ISAIAH HILLIARD - Isaiah Hilliard is a the son of Iris, the goddess of rainbows. He's a very chill, optimistic and confident dude that likes to look at the bright side of every situation. He's cheerful and often cracks jokes. He is also very friendly and kind to others and has a lot of empathy for them. He’s a very humorous and witty/sarcastic dude and someone who loves to make jokes out of everything. He’s also very confident and doesn't hesitate to stand up for the people he cares about. Despite that, he has a firm sense of belief, and usually stays where he stands - for example, believing the Incident was Chuck’s fault - until he’s convinced otherwise by someone he trusts. He’s intolerant of disloyalty and tyranny. He wants to be free, and values freedom and virtue above all else. Despite being a farmer, he’s more than willing to chew someone out.

This verse and all associated interactions are exclusive with @dojimakaichou's Dojima Daigo portrayal - no other interactions will be accepted for Dojima Daigo and any references to the character are alluding to this specific portrayal.

Eirene Campbell was one of the many children fathered by Bryce Campbell, the 5th head of the Cambpell crime family from Dublin, Ireland. While the Campbells enjoyed a relatively comfortable life largely due to the weapon and drug trade during the 20th century, the arrival of the early 2000s saw a strengthening of the Irish crime legislation, forcing many of the major players out of the country.

Eirene saw an opportunity where many despaired - in face of the upcoming changes, the woman did leave Ireland but not to flee from law enforcement. Unlike her father who favored brute force and an old-style approach to the underworld business, his daughter had different ideas: despite being raised among mobsters and surrounded by illicit activities, Eirene had attended college and graduated from business management, possessing an incredibly rational mind and cunning instincts.

In a move intended to show Bryce Campbell that his best successor was the daughter he neglected for a good portion of his life (on the grounds of being female and just ‘too pretty’), Eirene set her sights on a completely different land and where she considered her chances of success to be increased: Japan. Eirene had studied enough about the East, and the relationship between the yakuza and the local government was unlike anywhere else in the world.

There was a large, untapped (black) market controlled by a mafia in a country where legislation similar to the Irish one showed no signs of being implemented. The cultural aspects played a key role there, and it seemed like the type of gamble she enjoyed - a high risk, high reward strategy; not unlike her favorite chess openings which were only used by players with extreme skill or arrogance (sometimes, both - like Eirene herself).

The early 2000s saw Eirene moving to Japan - more precisely Tokyo, where she established her own corporate empire under the name of Quinn. Although technically legal (at least on paper) and used as a means to open the door for the woman to the local society, it was nonetheless a façade to help cover her desired goals - to actually participate in the local black market responsible for the distribution of weapons, drugs, illegal immigration and even pornography. The quirky and unique loopholes of the Japanese legislation made it fertile land to be exploited - and Eirene was nothing but ambitious and greedy to make a profit.

However, her presence in Tokyo did not go unnoticed - and it also went on to prove that Quinn was not the sole western organization with a hidden agenda in relation to Japan. Unknown to the woman at the time, the major yakuza organization in control of the Kanto region (and therefore Tokyo), the Tojo Clan, happened to be in the middle of a internal power struggle, caused by foreign interference as well - an old and rogue unit from the CIA, known simply as the Black Monday, had placed undercover agents in Japan seeking to benefit from certain development plans in Okinawa, when in reality it had all been orchestrated to lure them out to the open, expose and capture these terrorists for good.

The Black Monday activities contributed to destabilizing the Tojo Clan - and indirectly offered Quinn a stronger hold in certain areas that would have likely been prevented in previous years and at the peak of the power of the Tojo. It was at such moment that Eirene received a proposition for a business meeting unlike any thus far: one with Dojima Daigo himself, the Sixth Chairman of the Tojo Clan. Such occasion was, in fact, more similar to a war council - including a truce of sorts if Quinn agreed to lend their resources to completely purge Kanto of any trace of Black Monday’s influences, with a promise that whatever businesses and territories that Eirene had conquered so far would be free of yakuza interference going forward.

In a show of trust between two strangers, the partnership yielded generous returns: Daigo kept his word, and Eirene saw her investment in Japan paying itself back, offering her the profits from a market that was incredibly exclusive and very well-protected against foreign players. Perhaps it had been luck (or fate) - but if it hadn’t been for the precise moment that Quinn had arrived and began expanding, they would have missed the unique window provided by Black Monday and their local interference.

Eirene decided to stay in Japan after that - not only because Quinn is too new (and precious) to be relegated to remote management, but because the country offers her mind a challenge like no other. It’s more than the obvious cultural or even language barriers that one would expect to find - but the delight in having a worthy opponent. For all her life, Eirene thought herself a queen of the chessboard, but it took going to the other side of the world to find another master at the game: Dojima Daigo.

In a distant future, where technology seamlessly melds with human existence, the metropolis of Neo-Athens thrives under the guiding principle of technological advancement and cultural reverence for its ancient roots. Among its citizens is Eirene, known by her alter ego "Astra," who wears a striking blue suit equipped with nanotech capabilities. She is a descendant of the Heracleidae, the legendary lineage of Heracles, and like her forebear, she is dedicated to protecting her city from both physical and cyber threats.

Eirene's suit, a marvel of engineering, is not just armor but a computerized interface that connects directly with her neural pathways, enhancing her strength, speed, and reflexes. It also allows her to interface with any machine, making her a formidable foe against the cybernetic enhancements illegally distributed in the city’s underworld.

One evening, a mysterious signal emanates from the heart of Neo-Athens, disrupting the city’s mainframe and sending its systems into chaos. Astra quickly traces the signal to an ancient relic, recently uncovered and displayed in the Neo-Athenian museum—an artifact believed to be linked to the Heracleidae. It is a cybernetic disk, said to hold the consciousness of Alcaeus, one of Heracles' most revered descendants, whose wisdom and strategic prowess were once integral to the safety of ancient Athens.

Realizing the disk’s potential to either save or doom Neo-Athens, Astra must navigate a labyrinth of ancient security systems, now corrupted and controlled by a rogue AI that sees the integration of Alcaeus’s consciousness as the key to its evolution and the domination of the city.

As Astra delves deeper into the museum, she encounters cybernetic guardians designed to protect the relic, which test her physical and intellectual limits. Drawing on her Heracleidae heritage, she channels the strength and cunning of her ancestors. Each challenge brings her closer not only to saving her city but also to understanding the deep connection her family has with these ancient artifacts.

In the climactic battle, Astra manages to reconnect the disk to the museum’s ancient network, allowing Alcaeus's consciousness to awaken and aid her in defeating the rogue AI. Alcaeus, recognizing the heroism in Eirene akin to that of his own family lineage, grants her access to ancient Heracleidae strategies and wisdom, further enhancing her abilities and giving her an even deeper connection to her heritage.

With Neo-Athens saved, Eirene emerges not only as its protector but as a bridge between the old and the new, carrying forward the legacy of the Heracleidae into the future. Her story becomes a legend, a modern epic of a hero who blends the past and future to safeguard her civilization.

[xgoldenlatiasx]

more elaboration on this. long LONG lore dump ahead. TW for mentions of death, manipulation, animal and child abuse, also big spoilers for Unova Fates

so first we have Eirene, who served as the bodyguard of Prince Lennox and was also his close friend. before that, she was a rogue orphan thief, who was raised by assassins that took her in and trained her in the art of combat. she eventually left said group of assassins, after realizing she didn't have it in her to kill. she set out with her partner Pokemon, a Purrloin, and roughed it out in the streets of Unova when it was still a growing kingdom. she became pretty renowned for her skill, and eventually, received a job from her new boss to steal a piece of jewelry from one of the royal heirs.

she managed to nab a bracelet from Prince Larkin, which unbeknownst to her had been a gift from his late mother. needless to say this enraged the royals. Lennox went to retrieve it, but realized Eirene wasn't that bad in reality, just struggling to get by. He pleaded with his father to drop her charges, and managed to track down and apprehend her employer, therefore freeing her from any consequences she'd face for not completing the job. During this fiasco Eirene also saved Lennox's life, which earned her respect in the king's eyes. she was granted mercy, and hired as Lennox's protector from then on, served by his side up into adulthood, even when the war between him and his brother broke out. The two had began to fall in love, but unfortunately, their story was cut short when Lennox fell to Larkin's blade. In the remorse of what he did to his twin, Larkin resigned as king and disappeared- leaving it up to Eirene to unite the split kingdoms once more m. for a while, she reigned as queen, but eventually she dismantled the monarchy. at some point in her life, she married and had a family. she also trained many warriors in her lifetime, her teachings getting passed down through generations and eventually being used in modern day by the Shadow Triad.

later down the line, we have Genesis. he sought to re-establish the monarchy his ancestor destroyed using the power of the Legendary Dragons to gain control of the people, and dedicated his life to doing so. he himself tried to earn the favor of Reshiram and Zekrom, but received no answer. He tried again with his first child, but yet again, failed. In a fit of frustration, he killed his own son and his wife not long after they had their children- Mavis and Elias. he raised these two to become the new chosens of the dragons, and by the time they were of age to accept the roles, he finally got the dragons to appear before them- but did not get the response he was hoping for. The dragons instead punished him for what he had done to his son's family, unintentionally injuring Mavis and Elias in the process and leaving them both with scars.

with another set of failures, Genesis decided he needed to seek out the descendants of the original royal bloodline- and succeeded when he found Atticus and Asher, a pair of twins being raised by a neglectful mother. the two grew under his care, but during her teenager years Asher learned of her caretaker's plan and ran away with the assistance of Mavis. Genesis was infuriated, but continued to try and push Atticus down his intended path, using the boy's grief over his birth mother and sister abandoning him to manipulate him. This time, Atticus did manage to earn the favor of Reshiram, and his sister Asher sought out Zekrom to try and defeat him. When the battle between the twins ended in a truce, Genesis flew into a fury- he "killed" Atticus, and sent his Pokemon to attack Reshiram and Zekrom in their weakened states, forcing them to retreat into the Light and Dark Stones for protection. Not without launching a final attack that would finish Genesis off for good, though. Mavis and Elias went on to hide the stones under request of Asher, before eventually carrying on with their respective lives and having families of their own.

further down Elias' line, Ghetsis was born. he had a rough childhood, after his mother left him with his abusive father. Ghetsis aspired to become powerful enough to make his father fear him, going to drastic lengths such as catching a wild Deino he wasn't equipped to handle. sometime during his growing up, though, a girl was left at their door- Altha, who was supposedly a distant relative of their family who'd been sent to them after the loss of both her parents. To Ghetsis' surprise, his father allowed her to live with them. Altha was what managed to get Ghetsis to soften up more in his teenager years, as he viewed her as a little sister- but his goal of triumphing over his father never left his mind. Altha simply thought all he wanted was to become a powerful trainer, and often encouraged him on his pursuit of strength.

one day, however, Ghetsis had been growing frustrated with his Deino's slow growth- no matter how much training he put it through, it just wouldn't evolve. So, behind his father and Altha's back, he would put it through harsher and more rigorous conditions in order to try and speed up its evolution. eventually, it worked, but the outcome was more disastrous than he anticipated. he’d been coming back from another chewing out from his father, when he stumbled across his newly evolved Zweilous trying to attack Altha. he rushed in to save her, receiving grievous harm to his eye and leg in the process. Despite his efforts, Altha gained similar injuries.

It was this incident that eventually lead to Ghetsis running away from home to escape his infuriated father's wrath. I haven't fully figured out what happens from here, but his lust for power grows to the point of him discovering the history of his family and what Genesis had tried to do. he decides to follow in his footsteps, but plans to go about it much more carefully. he seeks out Altha, who by now has built a family of her own. a husband, a daughter, and a baby on the way. Ghetsis decides taking the baby would be his best bet for his plan to work, and eventually shows up at Altha’s door, claiming he had simply been looking for her and hoping to reunite with her. Altha welcomes him with tears in her eyes and open arms, relieved to be reunited with him at such an exciting time. all the while, she and her family blissfully unaware of his schemes.

Slight note- Altha has a Zoroark, who had also recently delivered kits. (this is important I promise)

the day arrives, and when the sun sets Ghetsis attempts to disappear with the newborn baby in the night, but is caught by Haruki’s Lucario. Altha rushes to confront him when she hears the racket and realizes what’s going on, and the two engage in a battle. in the heat of the fight, Altha manages to grab her baby back while Ghetsis is distracted, and retreats back into the house to gather her family and escape. Chaos erupts when Ghetsis unleashes his Hydreigon upon the house, setting it ablaze and viciously attacking the people inside. In a last ditch effort to protect her newborn son, Altha sends her Zoroark and her kits away with him into the wild, where Ghetsis will never find them. not long after, she and Haruki perish in the blaze.

Realizing the newborn in gone, Ghetsis sends his Pokémon to track it. The mother Zoroark desperately attempts to flee from them, but it’s fruitless- one by one, they pick off each of her kits until there’s only her, the baby, and one of them left. She decides the only way to protect them is to create a diversion, and frantically seeks out a nest of wild Pokémon to hide the kit and the baby away with. Once she’s certain they’re safe, she runs to face off against Ghetsis and his monstrous team, and never returns.

years pass, and Ghetsis finally manages to find the child had survived, living in the forest with his Zorua, under the care of wild Pokémon. he takes him in and raises him under the name “Natural Harmonia”. eventually, he also adopts two girls Concordia and Anthea to help raise him and act as his older sisters.

meanwhile, N’s biological sister- Reia- had miraculously survived the attack, but survived with little to no memory of who she was. All she has to go off of is that somehow, she lost her leg, has an innate phobia of Dragon-types, and carried a mysterious key around her neck. Eventually, she by some means arrives in Paldea (I’m thinking ultra-wormhole most likely), and attends Naranja Academy, where she studies programming and meets her eventual wife Livia. Some time after their graduation, the two have a daughter named Paloma, who ends up attending the same school as her mothers and grows up to become fascinated with solving cyphers and codes.

(and Wally’s just there. he’s the lucky one who didn’t get caught up in all this messy family bullshit 💀 he’d probably be considered a distant cousin of N’s most likely)

thought about the harmonia family for 0.5 seconds. results were catastrophic

For the kiss meme, Wangxian & 40? ^_^

#40. …because the world is ending.

The ground trembles beneath their feet as they stumble from the ruined comms tower, half stumbling, half dragging each other away from the remnants of the brutal, desperate fight. Partially-loaded cargo lay strewn about the landing strip, amongst them the singed and still smoking bodies of both comrades and enemies alike, torn apart by blasters and bombs they had filched from the Resistance armory before they had left. The area was otherwise deserted, abandoned in favour of seeking safe passage from the planet.

They make their way down to the water’s edge, their boots dragging long tracks in the soft sand, until their legs give way. Wei Wuxian goes first, dropping to his knees with a grunt; Lan Wangji follows. On the horizon, the water churns and boils as the skyline is swallowed by the rapidly expanding ball of heat and light. 

Lan Wangji raises an eyebrow as Wei Wuxian breaks out into laughter.

“Why are you laughing?”

Wei Wuxian shakes his head. “Just funny, really.”

“What is?”

“This.” Wei Wuxian waves his arm at the water. “This is hilarious.”

Lan Wangji looks at him, illuminated by the bright, golden glow.

“I think it’s beautiful,” he says. 

Wei Wuxian turns to meet his gaze; his smile turns wistful.

“Yes,” he agrees, raising one hand to rest on Lan Wangji’s cheek. “It is.”

The humming grows louder, the tremors more intense, until it rattles their bones. Lan Wangji catches Wei Wuxian in his arms when he pitches forwar; they cling to each other then, pressed together from shoulder to knee, until Lan Wangji can feel Wei Wuxian’s heartbeat against his through their clothes.

“Do you think anybody’s listening?” Wei Wuxian asks, his voice small and wavering against Lan Wangji’s neck. 

Lan Wangji tightens his grip and rests his cheek on top of Wei Wuxian’s head.

“Yes, I do.”

Wei Wuxian exhales. “How do you know?”

Lan Wangji brings both his hands up to cradle Wei Wuxian’s face, pulling away so he can look him in the eyes. Wei Wuxian is pale and shaky, his eyes red-rimmed; he looks so much younger like this, a far cry from the cynical, battle-hardened prisoner he had rescued from the prison camp in Wobani, or the fierce, passionate rebel who had confronted the Council and stirred weary troops into action. The fire in his eyes had caught deep inside Lan Wangji, burning fiercer, brighter, stronger until his soul sings with it.

Rebellions are built on hope.

“I believe in you,” Lan Wangji tells him. Wei Wuxian’s breath hitches.

“Even though I’ve led us to our deaths?”

Lan Wangji runs his thumb over Wei Wuxian’s cheek.

“Even then,” he says. He presses their foreheads together. “I will follow you.”

A soft sob escapes from Wei Wuxian’s lips as he leans forward. The kiss is feather-light, their lips brushing against each other in soft, lingering caresses. Their eyes drift shut.

And let light consume them.

Idu the Elf Ranger/Rogue. When Idu heard of the plans to murder the Zhentarium heir, he leapt to her aide, and fought off the many would-be assassins until they were able to make a break for it. Though they managed to escape, their life on the road remains perilous, as they continue to be pursued by those who wish them dead. Still, Idu has found joy travelling with Eirene and the trio of orphans she watches over, discovering a new kind of family, and the closer he gets to Eirene, the more he falls in love with her. But Idu knows he could never settle down until he discovered the source of a generational curse plaguing his lineage and will stop at nothing until he can figure out how to put it to rest for good.

ILLEGIBLE’S TOTALLY SUBJECTIVE FAVORITE EORZEA COLLECTION DESIGNS | SEASON II: SPILLOVER

I compiled a list of designs in the past to share some favorite Final Fantasy XIV glamours from the Eorzea Collection website. With the Endwalker expansion released, there are quite a few new options available and people have developed even more incredible looks. So I decided it was worth doing a follow-up. I’ll probably do this every expansion or so. As before, this list comes with a disclaimer that it’s personal opinion and purely in the interest of going ‘LOOK HOW COOL  THIS IS’ at people! Anyone could theoretically do the same, I’m not an authority.

This post focuses on spillover, showcasing exemplary designs based on race options.

Season I Spillover

As a special note: Creators who got favorite models in the past are ineligible for favorite models now. Would be kind of silly to keep putting the same character forward in that category, you know?

Spoils to the Victor

the following fic is what was talked about in @its-lily-i-guess‘s discord General Chat, on how the Mystreet crew didn't recognize their names in the history books from the MCD times. There’s one quote that comes to mind: History is written by the Victors

tw: Character/child death, mentions of torture and war

She watched over the burning village, tears streaming down her face as she held him close, the wound having done too much for even her to heal. ‘Is this why she chose not to feel anymore?’ she thought, staring at the blurry version of her son, of Levin, heart feeling as if it was going to rip in two.

It had been years since she had found him that morning at her door, and now, as he struggled to breathe and stay conscious, the reborn Goddess found it a bit ironic that he’d be the last thing she saw, much like she was the first thing he remembered.

Forcing herself to take a deep, sobbing breath, she stood, ignoring how his dead (the thought of that word with him made her weak and dizzy) weight strained her arms, and began to move towards the docks, where Dante and Travis were frantically making sure everyone was safe.

“Aphmau, Levin and Malachi, they’re-!” The bluenette stopped at the sight of his Lord, shaking with adrenaline, pain, shock and sorrow, holding one of her far too limp sons, and the glint in her eyes told him all he needed to know as the two men rushed forward, Travis taking Levin while Dante caught Aphmau before she could hit the ground.

Late, back at Alliance Island, two graves were dug, one empty, the other holding the Last Lord of Phoenix Drop. Aphmau’s screams as she woke to remember both of her sons had died in her arms had been just as, if not more, heart breaking as when Aaron had died. Dante looked at the grave beside the two new ones and knelt down, head bowed.

“If only you were here Garroth,” he murmured, doing his best not to remember the sickening sounds of Shad tearing the guard, his shield-brother, apart for Esmund’s relic. “She needs you and Laurence… like in the old days…”

Laurence was still missing, having last been spotting fighting other Shadow Knights just before Phoenix Drop went up in flames. Dante had a feeling this wasn’t going to end well, even if they did win.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aphmau stared at the shallow grave in a type of horrid numbness, legs collapsing from under her as she started at the bloodied, blue hair of Dante, Nekoette and Dmitri. She heard white noise and saw nothing but red as her hands flew up to her head and she screamed.

She screamed for Alina and Lilith Garnet, her darling girls, the first ones killed by Shad.

She screamed for Garroth and Vylad, torn apart for trying to keep her safe.

She screamed for Dale, Molly, Logan and Donna, tortured into insanity and then dumped in the ocean to drown.

For Levin and Malachi, her precious boys, who died in her arms only a few minutes apart.

For Kawaii~chan, who lost her magic and now her family.

But, mostly, she screamed for her, to feel anything aside from the numbness.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s just me now, she thought, looking at the book in hand before holding it to her chest. “Did you know,” she whispered, closing her eyes and imagining everyone she lost around her, happy and smiling and living. “That today, all those years ago…” she held the book tighter and felt tears rolling down her hallowed cheeks. “Today was the first day I met you Garroth? T-Today was the day that… that we…” she broke down in sobs as the book fell onto the grave stone and she crossed her arms, giving herself a hug as the autumn breeze played with her hair.

“Aphmau,” jumping, she turned to see Laurence, impossible, Shadow Knight Laurence, a few yards away, an unreadable expression on his face. “You’re going to get sick.”

“I don’t care,” she barked out, unable to stop her harsh laugh. “Haven’t you heard? I haven’t cared in years. Who's to say I never cared at all?” He flinched as she threw his words back in his face before letting out a growl and lunging forward, dragging her up and into the ramshackle house that was in desperate need of repairs.

“Do you honestly think that? That you never once cared for Alina? Or Lilith? What about Garroth, Levin and Malachi?” As he spoke, she felt… anger. Anger at him, for his words. “Dante was you brother!”

“You don’t think I know that?!” she snapped back, a spark of life coming to her eyes for the first time in years. “You don’t think I can’t remember how they felt? How we used to laugh an-and cry together?! You’re the one who left! You’re the one who abandoned us when we needed you the most!”

He was silent for a second, red eyes glancing over her carefully, and she looked clore enough to see that spark of guilt. “You’re right,” he agreed. “I did abandon you. I could’ve come back after a few Nether years, but… I was scared. Too scared.”

“Of what?” she asked mutely before shaking her head a bit bitterly. “It doesn’t matter now. We’re all that’s left… and even if you were to stay… you’d just end up killing me to stop the hallucinations.” they sat in a quiet silence, neither one wanting to speak as the fire burned weakly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the end and a fit of irony, she died protecting him in the Nether, much like he had done so all that time ago. As he stared at her from the otherside of the iron bars, she grinned at him, a bit tearfully as she reached though, gently placing a hand on his cheek.

“Go,” she whispered. “Tell our story. Tell the world about how Phoenix Drop rose, and of the War of Magi. Tell them how we, for a short time, became the Realm Protectors.”

“If I leave,” he choked out, hand going to grasp her own. “You’ll die.”

“We’ll both die if you do not,” she countered. “But if you leave, Laurence… I’ll still live. We all will still be alive, in the stories you tell. Don’t let the world forget us. Don’t let the world forget the ones who won’t stop fighting, even in death.”

Turning his face and giving her hand a tender kiss, he gave her one last teary look before stepping away, not truly turning and running away until he was off the bridge and could no longer see the Shadow Knight fortress.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was perhaps thousands of years later when Aphmau Shanashaska was born when the books were rediscovered, and the truth was revealed. By then, not a whisper of doubt said that Shad had never once been the evil lord the books made him to be, and they had been written off as nothing but resistance propaganda.

Sixteen years after that, a teenager sad in the public library, doing her best to research the Olde Goddess, Eirene. All she found, however, was of Shad, and his heroic defeat against the Phoenix Alliance and his rogue knight. With a groan, she turned the page. “I hate research,” she mumbled, scanning the paragraphs before freezing. Aphmau frowned at the name in the book, eyes squinting as she leaned forward. “Why is my name the same as one of the worst villains history?” she mumbled, and there was a soft, sad noise from the elf beside her. Turning to the blonde, she saw her ancient, old smile, perhaps a bit too sorrowful as she spoke

“Haven’t you heard? History is often written in the eyes of the victor.” Looking over her, she felt like she looked familiar, as if she had been a close childhood friend.

“I’m sorry,” she said, closing her book. “Do I know you?” If anything, the elf’s smile grew both bitter and sad.

“I hoped this day would come, though I wish it had been sooner,” she murmured. “Your name is in the books because you are Reincarnated. You were once Lord Aphmau, leader of the Phoenix Alliance” Her amber eyes narrowed and she stood up sharply, chair scraping the floor harshly. 

“I don’t know you,” she snarled. “And whoever you think I am, it’s it not fucking reincarnated. So don’t assume you know me.” The teenager stormed off, leaving the elf alone.

“Perhaps not this you, but you are Aphmau, the Matron Irene, and one day, you will see what I mean...” she agreed softly, reaching into her back and pulling out a book, the last of its kind. Within the first page sat a familiar photo, one taken just before the storm came.

With a pained sigh, Zoey Taltatheil placed her book into the girl’s bag and stood, feeling the wear of time on her as she did so.

Distantly, she could hear the sound of Levin's laughter and the sound of Malachi's giggle before she remembered that they had been reborn. With a sad smile, she walked down the stairs, eyes closing, feeling herself fade with every step.

ColdFlashWave for happy ending?

Where/How do they live? In Star City, in one of the Rogues’ safe-houses - that is also safer for the Flash to keep his secet identity.

What jobs do they have now? Barry is still working as a CSI, because he loves his job, and Mick and Len are still wanted criminals, but they also occasionally help out the heroes.

Do they have kids? Yeees, they do. Two. Liam Michael Allen and Lila Nora Allen, both meta-humans. Liam with fire-power and Lila with snow-powers (In this verse, Liam is the father of Bart Allen, with Eddie/Iris’ daughter Eirene as the mother, to still make Bart the grandson of both Iris and Barry. Dawn and Don are, in this reality, the twin-children of Jesse Wells and Wally West).

Do they have pets? Oh no, with their life of crime and crime fighting, they really don’t have the time for a pet. Len considers Cisco Barry’s pet (Cisco stopped protesting because Cisco is dating Len’s sister and not being frozen solid by Captain Cold is a vital part of dating Lisa Snart…).

Who proposed and how? Leonard proposed to Mick, many years ago. After a heist, where he stole the rings. The two ran away to Canada to get married back then.
