#OH LORD IT'S them!!!!!!

⭐️⭐️ for YOUR ship with Rhys 👁👁

send in a “⭐️” and I’ll use a random thing picker to choose one of my f/os, and i’ll reply to the ask with a small infodump about my ship with them!

    Well, we skipped one step...but who am I to complain? LMAO  For both this ask and the first one you sent in, you sent me F/Os I rarely get to talk about! So I count that...as an absolute win. :>

    With that said, let’s gooooo-!

    Unlikely duo in unlikely, but perhaps equally predictable...problematic situations. If you’re anywhere near Pandora, these things should’ve been expected, probably. Anyways, onward to the shipping!

    Rhys and Rena first met when the latter was on an all-nighter bender working on a project Jack had “requested” from R&D. Pure luck had allowed them to survive this long, and they weren’t gonna quit anytime soon. Rhys, honestly about to head back to his own apartment (that Hyperion provides all workers, since everyone is on-site workers), wanted to pick up some coffee from the nearest break room...

    He ended up finding them dissociating and looking exhausted... And pity kicked in. Who was this distressed scientist? Why were they so...like that? Could he do something about it? (He wanted to try.)

    So the Company Man himself eventually started making small “trips” to R&D, casing the place until he found the private lab of Dr. Marlow. (All because he didn’t want to risk asking anyone for help... Yeesh.) He was eventually able to flag her down, and starting a conversation. Which turned into more... Namely hangouts; lots of him finding time in-between work to scurry off and hang out with her a bit again. (In canon, this would also be why he bumped into Handsome Jack in the first place; him trying to run around to see Rena for whatever time he could nab.)

    It evolves further: when Rena makes it to the food court, they eat with him, and he gets to meet two of their friends. Dan (the Man), a near-constantly exhausted pilot for the high class and occasionally, for Handsome Jack himself, and Leah, historical collector...of old music. Dan’s chill as hell and rarely seen w/o a cup of coffee (in increasingly funny mugs people keep gifting him) and Leah is energy personified.

    They end up supporting his endeavors, either helping Rena cheer up, or even picking up food for Rhys ahead of time, so he can have his own meal, plus Rena’s, on delivery. (In the event she hadn’t yet shown up for lunch and they figured she was getting overworked on yet another project.)

    This continues on for a few months, before the events of BLands 2; Rena eventually requests- and gets approved- a study of Pandora, to further research on a personal project. Jack somehow agrees to the whole thing and, despite Rhys’ concerns, Rena heads out with a small team, anyways.

    ...It’s assumed for a long time that Rena died.

    During the events of Tales, however, a contact called Gremlin is established; someone’s who survived the wastes and knows them incredibly well. So when Rhys and co. go to seek this mysterious person out... It’s Rena! Dirty, with frayed hair and Pandora-fitting clothes, but... Hey, they lived, after all!!!!

    There’s a lot of catching up to do, but it’s sorta...hard to do so with Jack in his brain. Which is something he ends up admitting to, at one point; he cares a lot about Rena’s opinion of him, plus... If anyone had an idea of what to do with an AI stuck in your brain, they would, right?

    ...Unfortunately not, since Nakajama is...was a mess of a man. For now, Jack’s plan continues: get to Hyperion. Nab Vault pieces. (Ignore Jack’s needling of Rhys being “a dense motherfucker” and making lewd comments about Rena. Rhys’ limits are at wit’s end. Worse yet when their almost-first-kiss is ruined by Jack in his mind. Asshole.)

    Long story short, Rena is able to help the crew get through Hyperion smoother, but her project- the dragons- take her a fair distance away from the crew. She *barely* survives along with Dan and Leah (who had taken the former’s ship; Rena survived based off of the size and power of the dragons she was slowly raising), and- once again- is separated from everyone.

    Except this time... It’s Rhys who is the one lost.

    Rena does eventually end up finding him again, thanks to news of Atlas rising from the ashes, and needing staff. Having made many friends along their ride in Pandora, Rena and their own crew set out to make money... Only to be shocked when Rhys fuckin’ Strongfork himself is running the place.

    They reunite, Part 2, and everything gets sorted. As far as new hires go, anyways. Rena and Rhys officially have a lot to catch up on...

    It eventually culminates in Rena taking on Head of R&D in Atlas, them becoming a couple, Rhys being dad to a bunch of dragons...that are rapidly growing in size...and eventually- with the help of their hires- reclaiming the old Wildlife Exploitation Preserve. Now also owned by Rena.

So I have seen several people now playing with the idea that Rook might've actually died at the ritual site and that whatever happened there with their blood and their connection to the Fade/Solas/the Dread Wolf pride demon was something similar to what we know of demon/spirit possession that can bring people back to life...... which would be absolutely insane to me, given what that could imply for the story and also how Solas feels about free will and abominations and... you know, all of that. 😂

BUT (and this is probably the most tinfoily I'm gonna get at this point lol)....

Between THIS and *checks notes*...

The short story "The Wake" implying that Lucanis died some time after The Wigmaker Job, him being called "The Demon" and all the pride demon imagery in his design/tarot card, having people suspect that he was brought back to life by a pride demon.

The devs saying "Manfred the skeleton is not romanceable, but we're not saying NO skeleton romance".

Harding suddenly having magical abilities.

There being something eerie about a lot of the companion tarot cards, mostly because of the glowy eyes that we often associate with possession.

....so I'm just gonna put the tinfoil hat back on and conclude that all this clearly has to mean that.. uh...

Everyone is dead...?

And they're all abominations now, which means that somehow all of them have a connection to some powerful spirit/demon that brought them back to life to join Rook on this final mission to save the world. 😂

Or something like that, Idk, the heat is clearly getting to me. lmaoo 💀

Prompt 209

Now Jason was planning on, well, a lot of things, when he came back to Gotham. He had a lot of plans, several of which had to do with the old man and even more that had to do with cleaning up Crime Alley, making it safer and all that. 

What he was not planning on was to find some sort of lab in the basement of where he was planning on setting up a safehouse. Nor was he planning on finding several literal children in cages inside said lab. Oh and Lazarus Waters- but children! With muzzles! Being experimented on!

Now he’d like to say he had a plan in what happened next, but if he’s honest everything had gone Green and he didn’t remember what happened next, only that he’s back home with said children and covered in blood. Oh and everything smells of smoke. 

… And apparently there’s more of these things dotted around Crime Alley with the rest of these kids, er, siblings? Family? Fright does mean family? Okay kids, he’s not turning into Bruce but you can stay here while he deals with this… however long that takes. 

He better not be turning into Bruce he swears-

mmmmmm read a disciple shen yuan/shizun luo binghe fanfic about two days ago where the first chapter was the Immortal Conference arc, and SQQ was the one who had to be pushed into the abyss (he was still the villain) except Luo Binghe was refusing and was like, lowkey losing his mind about SQQ being so close to the edge. SQQ ended up having to be the one to fall in himself because of the system's punishment system. The rest of the fic is leading up to that moment. But like, MMM i've been obsessively thinking about that first chapter for DAYS ever since.

now i've been in svsss for a grand total of *checks watch* a week. but god obsessed with that. I want to write/read a fic where disciple SQQ goes a little nuts down there. Like keep all of the things that make SQQ, SQQ, but just. Throw in a little bit more trauma in there. A little bit of a mental break. Let him go a little nuts as a treat. Just a tad unhinged. I wanna see him go, just a little, "god fuck it, i've tried so hard to change this shitty story's outcome and it feels like everything i've done has been for nothing. I'm going to die in this world no matter what I do, I've been doomed from the start, so might as well die the way I want to." and he just, breaks a little! Under all the stress.

He still retains the traits that makes shen yuan, shen yuan, like his overwhelming kindness. But he's just! yk. A little less patient. Paranoid. Jumpy. Colder. A little more aloof and closed off. A little more Shen Jiu. He's no asshole child abuser, but he was a Number One Hater in his past life and he's leaning into that old habit a little more now.

(On a totally coincidental not-at-all related note, there's not enough SJ-and-SY-are-the-same-people fics out there that i've found. This is totally unrelated...)

The Endless Abyss turns the mind into an over-sharpened blade, and SQQ is both fascinated and perhaps a little excited to explore a place that doesn't have a lot of info on it in the mortal realm, but still terrified out of his mind. And he's no Luo Binghe, he doesn't have the sheer brute strength and power to just bulldoze his way through, so he has to be a lot more sneaky and cunning if he wants to survive.

The fic itself role-swapped LBH and SQQ so that SQQ was the half-demon (which lowkey fucks) and LBH the human, but I'm equally-if-not-more obsessed with the idea that LBH remains the half-heavenly demon and SQQ the human. If only because I keep thinking about SQQ befriending some demons (particularly and specifically a group of succubi) and they grow very attached to this Human Cultivator so through magic plot stuff they create some kind of seal/illusion/talisman that makes SQQ appear as a demon because a human cultivator in the endless abyss may as well be the equivalent of putting a giant neon target on your back.

And iirc Shen Jiu was taught demonic cultivation by that one guy(?? i've only been here a week so im not caught up in ALL of the lore yet) so that could totally happen here.

(On the other end of the realms, poor Shizun Luo Binghe is just. losing his fucking mind over losing his most precious and beloved disciple. About .5 seconds from burning down the peaks himself. somebody sedate him.)

The Endless Abyss sucks and SQQ is having a really terrible time and can feel himself going lowkey mad, but also holy shit look at all this WORLD-BUILDING. look at all this flora and fauna, and oh if he had the equipment for it he'd be writing all of this down. ALL OF IT. He was kinda-sorta-already planning on never leaving the Abyss as some sort of fucked up self-exile and self-preservation thing, but now he might? actually just?? never leave if he can help it, like he lowkey likes it down here.

anyways the next time anyone ever sees SQQ again he's got hair so long its almost touching the ground and he's either in rags and half-feral or he's been completely dolled up by his adoptive succubi sisters and still about three seconds from biting anyone who tries to touch him. (he's also lowkey trying to book it back down to the abyss even if he has desperately missed all of his friends and shizun)
