Kayne isn't in the AU, because it's not Kayne, it's actual Nyarlathothep that hasn't been eaten by Kayne because the universe Lore Accurate King smells of death and Kayne doesn't want to Frick with that.

Every day I’m haunted by the fact the boys happily swim in sewer water

Even if it’s filtered somehow there’s no way it’s not still nasty 😭 Bet they can defeat any of their villains just by accidentally giving them diseases I swear

The day I discovered who Jeremy Fragrance was my entire life changed. I thought Justin McElroy just made up a guy named Richard Stink with no greater context for the bit. I had no idea he was a parody for YEARS. I just thought Justin was really good at creating absurdist characters for his brothers to laugh at

Sully calls him "Wolf" cuz she couldn't pronounce his name ;UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU;

I think about how, since childhood, Annie saw brutality as the basis of strength.

How violent must a person be to stay strong?

All her life in Marley, she saw men who were aggressive toward her. Or despised her because of her origins. Or used violence to subjugate her. Or were subjugated themselves, and therefore withdrawn and weak.

Then she arrived in Paradis, and there were still men who despised her for being a refugee. And there were boys who weren't so bad, but they were still driven by violence, not directed at her, but there was aggression in them.

And there were Marco and Armin.

And in Annie there was a quiet confusion and curiosity. Because they were gentle. Not in the weak way, but in the caring and kind way. And she had never seen that before. Because her father had brutally trained her and forced her to fight from an early age. Because the boys in Marley were either weak or ruthless. Because the boys from Paradis were good people, but they were no strangers to violence and fighting.

Armin and Marco weren't either. But it wasn't their go-to. Attack wasn't their way. They wanted to talk. They didn't want to fight if they didn't have to. They were kind. They were gentle. They were strong in their gentleness.

Annie had never seen something like this.

Annie didn't quite understand it.

It was strange. It was unusual. It was confusing.

It was painful to look into Marco's eyes as she removed his gears. To let him die. And he just asked to talk, as he always did.

It was devastating to look at Armin, who wanted to believe she was a good person. And she really wasn't. And it hurt him more than it hurt her.

It was crushing to listen to Armin's words, who didn't want her to remain in overwhelming silence, trapped within herself for years.

It was healing when he gently accepted her back even though she was just as brutal as all the men in her life.

It was life-changing when he remained kind despite everything.

How strong must a person be to stay this gentle?

The wassibi, threatening you with a very bad time.

Wassibi are mid-sized (11-16 lb) solitary mustelids. This species is native throughout the lands south of the Viper seaway, thriving as generalists in a great diversity of habitats (though rarely occur in very arid environments or at high elevations). They are omnivores, using their broad noses and strong claws to dig out earthworms, beetle larvae, roots and tubers, foraging along the ground for insects, scorpions, bird eggs, fallen fruit, and small lizards and snakes, and occasionally scavenging carcasses and trash. They are particularly noted for their ability to find honey- splitting open bees nests with their claws and leisurely consuming larvae and honeycomb, seemingly untroubled by bee stings.

Wassibi are known above all else for their devastatingly noxious defensive anal gland spray. When threatened, they hiss, arch their backs and tails, raise their fur, and point their anus menacingly in the direction of danger. Should posturing fail, they will unleash their spray at the threat's face. Their anal glands have powerful muscular control and the attack is devastatingly accurate at up to 10 ft. In addition to having an atrocious stench, the liquid is mildly irritating to the skin, painful and temporarily blinding to the eyes, and can induce intense nausea and vomiting. The smell is resistant to washing, and can take weeks to fade. Most predators who experience a hit will learn to recognize the wassibi's stark aposematic coloring and avoid anything resembling it.

In addition to this potent defensive weaponry, they have dense fur and thick, loose skin, which renders them difficult for most predators to effectively grasp or pierce without risk of being bitten themselves. As such, wassibi have few consistent natural predators and are given a wide birth by most other animals. Their tendency to walk boldly in the open and sometimes even scavenge at carcasses alongside much larger predators commonly lends them cultural reputations of fearlessness. Wassibi are known for attacking large venomous snakes that potentially threaten their young, which (along with their frequent consumption of scorpions and bees) leads to common misconceptions that they are entirely immune to venom. They have no such resistance, rather their thick fur and loose skin cause bites and stings to land less effectively- most stings fail to penetrate their fur altogether, and bites often deal glancing blows that inject little to no venom.

Their biggest predatory threats come from humans. Wassibi meat is fairly rich and not unappealing to most palates used to wild game, but they are rarely considered worth the effort and risk of killing for consumption alone. They are more commonly hunted for their pelts (worn commonly by Wogan and North Wardi herders in hopes of deterring attacks from predators), bones, claws, and fat (used in traditional medicine for their purported antivenom properties). This hunting is fairly limited in scope overall, and most Wassibi populations remain stable.
