#Protector of the weak

[blue-eyed-banshee]

There will be a Trigger Warning for character abuse (Physical) so if you're trigger by that, turn back!

So... I'm going to probably get into DND when I go to college, and I am probably going to use my WoW orc shaman, Moggatorash as a character!

A friend of mine drew him, and in the eye, he was winking. He is blind in that eye due to being beaten as a teen for stealing in Orgrimmar, where he lives on the streets as an orphan. He was found by a Tauren warrior who brought him to Thunderbluff, where he was adopted into his family, and he began training as a shaman. He earned the nickname Chey'vo amongst the Tauren people, which means "spirit warrior".

He later returned to Orgrimmar to officially join the horde, and he was met with mixed emotions by the people.

Some wanted him in chains because he stole from them so much. and some of them were important people within the faction. Others such as the very guard who beat him to where he was near death, saw him and moved through the crowd and stood before Mogga, raising a fist and a sword only to be stopped by Baine Bloodhoof, who was the one who gave the official nickname of Chey'vo.

Moggatorash would often come to him for advice, like the uncle figure he never had.

Once he was officially welcome into the horde, he sought out the elements to further guide him on his path. He eventually gained the ability to see auras and see into a person's soul as well as Astral project his consciousness to where he pleases.

Since then, he has been a trusted shaman known for his abilities and healing. He would even dedicate his free hours to healing and providing for orphans and those who have no home because he was in that situation long ago. He's has a very mischievous childhood while he was living on the streets; stealing from nobility and various stalls within the city. His adopted brother, Villhelm journey with him back to the Horde capital to make sure his little brother's past did not catch up to him.

I feel like the main reason this evil shanks theory is so prevalent (besides the private meeting the the gorsei which up even I can’t explain) is that his general cheeriness and lackadaisical disposition is more of a presented front, a mask to be slipped on and off at will which would be fine if he weren’t often put in the same boat as Roger and Luffy two people ( for as much as we know about roger) who have no masks at all.

Don’t get me wrong I’m pretty sure that Shanks is a naturally happy, good natured dude but he’s also the most politically minded pirate we have seen on the show (and some of these pirates were actual politicians) like I’m pretty sure Roger is more mature and secretive than Luffy ( makes sense he’s older and has seen more of the world) but with both of them you never get the sense that their silliness is something they are putting on for the direct purpose of making themselves less of a threat. They both can get serious when the situation calls for it but that feels more of an extension of their already established personality more than a hidden personality.

While with shanks it’s undeniable that something changed within him and his goals the day Roger died I don’t know if Roger actually told him something or if he just wasn’t dealing with the abandonment well it was probably a mix of both honestly. But yeah Shanks comes off as a guy with his ear to the ground someone who has schemes on schemes on schemes. he’s someone playing in the long run, kind of like crocodile but not nefarious. And when compared with a straight forward head first always kinda guy like Luffy, like he often is, he can come off a little suspicious.

There’s something that’s a little fake about his cheer, something a little too performative about his optimism and foolishness. I think it’s a mix of; he’s housing a deep sadness, he’s more of a realist that an optimist and also dudes just a pacifist unlike like luffy who loves to brawl ( like luffy knows when it’s better not to fight but he also loves a good fight) and he would rather deescalate a situation than fight it out and sometimes the easiest way to do that is with an air of cluelessness and making yourself seem less of a threat which makes it so much more jarring but effective when he reveals just how big a threat he is. but I can see why people think it’s suspicious.

(Interestingly even when luffy tries to emulate this behavior like when he first encountered Bellamy at the pub his plan is to just not react which while in the same vain is very different than Shanks actively playing the drunken good natured take it on the chin role for the bandits Luffy was still essentially himself he just refused to react while Shanks played a role which made it more terrifying and effective when he stopped)

Also it doesn’t help that until recently he’s largely been missing from the narrative with just a man echoing or a whisper here or there of how powerful he is.

But I think we should remember that Shank’s goal is essentially world peace. and peace, a true lasting peace, is just a little more of a precarious balancing act, than utmost freedom. For freedom you have to destroy the old game, for peace you have to learn to play a new one, hopefully with a bit more kindness injected into the foundation.

It’s the fact that he didn’t have to be miserable.

All of his agonies about his weakness and monstrousness and lack of control was self-constructed, self-inflicted and he didn’t need to be miserable.

A little drabble scenario idea I put together for @snivyartjpeg’s Kokolight Vampire AU 💜💚🦇

To Care for a Sick Vampire

Yuma seems to be even more tired/weak than usual one day and Vivia notices that something is wrong with him. He asks him if he wants to feed on any of his blood to possibly re-energize him. But to Vivia’s surprise, Yuma refuses the offer outright.

“You look tired, Yuma… Are you…hungry? Do you need to feed? I will provide for you anytime you ask…”

“…No.”

This concerns Vivia but then he notices how pale and sickly Yuma looks, even more than usual. He puts his hand to Yuma’s cheek, but it wasn’t warm. Of course not, he’s a vampire. They probably don’t get fevers to begin with since vampire blood runs cold. But he definitely wasn’t well, that much was certain.

Vivia decides to slice the palm of his hand with his large boxknife he keeps in his pocket and places it in front of Yuma’s face.

“You…need to eat, Yuma… Even if it’s just a little bit…otherwise…you won’t feel any better…”

Yuma looks hesitant at first but then complies as the scent of Vivia’s blood does tempt his urges despite his weak state. He leans his head down slowly and weakly licks and laps the fresh cut on Vivia’s palm. He does it very slowly, but he has a small expression of relief. Even if he wasn’t well, he did still want to eat. But he didn’t want to consume large amounts of blood in this state, in his fear of possibly losing himself due to the weakness and sickly feeling that he felt.

He didn’t want to cause any further trouble for the agency, especially the Chief now that his secret was out to him. He also didn’t want to unexpectedly hurt anyone if his blood urges had gone out of control. It wasn’t safe for him to be blood drunk right now.

At least, that was his worry since he didn’t really understand how his vampiric urges worked due to his amnesia. But he didn’t want to take any chances if his current state wasn’t in good condition. He couldn’t risk causing any more trouble for everyone.

Even if that meant… starving himself.

Thankfully, this small amount of blood that Vivia provided for him seemed to suffice well enough. He stops lapping the cut, looking up to his tall human partner above him.

“…Thank you…Vivia…”

After a very small feeding, he transforms into his little lilac bat form and he tries to fly. But he was still too weak as he falls downward face down toward the floor. But Vivia catches him in his hands just in time.

“You’re too weak, Yuma… I will offer more to you…after you rest for a bit…”

Yuma spends the rest of the day resting/sleeping on Vivia’s hair/lap/shoulder/arms. The poor thing was trembling the whole time. And Vivia continued to feed Yuma very small amounts of his blood whenever he looked too weak, to which the tiny sickly bat would slowly lap up like a delicate little newborn kitten. Over time, Vivia ends up with multiple cuts on his left arm.

Later, Yakou enters the sub safely after seeing that the two were not doing anything TOO weird while they were alone. Seeing Yuma in bat form probably meant they were done. But then he looks to Vivia in shock noticing his left arm is covered in bloody self inflicted wounds.

“Vivia!? What happened to your arm?! Okay, what kind of crazy blood ritual did you two do this time?!”

Vivia gently places his right uninjured hand to where Yuma lay, and a soft weak sounding squeak came from the tiny little bat as he was touched. Yakou also settled his freakout down as he heard the weak bat’s cry.

“Yuma is…not feeling well so…I’m giving him only small amounts of my blood for now… But the blood of the cuts…don’t stay fresh forever…”

“Oh, I see… well that’s not good. Is there anything I can do to help?”

“Just…leave Yuma to me, Chief…”

Yakou didn’t argue. After all, he had no idea how to care for a sick vampire.

“Okay, but don’t you dare die from blood loss, you hear me?!”

Vivia smiled without saying a word further.

It looked like it was now Vivia’s turn to look after and take care of his weak little vampire partner for the day. Time to repay the favor for all the times he looked after him.

If I have energy I want to draw out some designs for an au I'm spontaneously writing.

(Medieval times, there's a Prophecy. Nightmare rules over this kingdom and is supposed to complete this prophecy, he refuses to because it would harm the people. Dream was sent away and banished by Night because he was dis-illusioned into thinking the prophecy was a Good Thing abd what he was raised to complete. Night collected his Knights (Killer, Dust, Horror, and Cross most recently) and trains them and tells them the truth of the prophecy. They're loyal to him. One day the magic of the prophesy (Apple Magic) leaves Nightmare unexpectedly, returning him to the state he was in before he accepted the mantle. This puts a target on his back and gives Dream a huge advantage in maybe making a comeback. The Knight's decide that their King (newly a young lad and variably scared and frightened) must be protected and they run the kingdom as he normally would, while also ensuring he survives and that the prophecy can't be completed.)

"ultrus is right, i am weak and pathetic" / "callie believes the way she loves is fundamentally repulsive" / "all i ever cared about was being useful someday" . things i think about a normal amount

You know who's going to protect Rhea?

Rhea.

I HOPE SO.

i WANT her to protect herself so badly, i do!

but we HAVE been here already, too recently might i add. she HAS protected herself, and she has fought back. but the ganging up on her continues no matter what. it's frustrating to watch!

Something about guard dogs being finally led off their leash, causing way more destruction than their handler anticipated and absolutely refusing to be leashed again

[sammygender]

thinking about how one of the last things john ever tells dean is an admittance that the way he treated him was fucked. & of course this destroys dean and makes it so much harder for him to come to terms w his death right after and with his childhood in general bc he’s spent his entire life chasing after johns approval. he’s spent his entire life telling himself that the way he was treated was okay and justified and that their childhood was good because he could handle it and he was strong enough and that was how it had to be. he’s worshipped john as a hero and seen nothing wrong with any of it. because he’s had to. his entire life is built around this idea there’s nothing else. he’s his dads perfect soldier and punching bag and wife-replacement and suddenly his dads gone & he said he’s sorry and that he shouldn’t have treated dean that way. what the hell is he supposed to do now.

What's amazing about "Merrybelle and the silver rose" (besides the silver rose of the title being a reference to Edgar himself as a vampirnella) is that she discovers she's the bastard daughter of duque Evans, the half sister of Oswald, and you could argue, given I think she's not told about Lucius being a bastard who doesn't share a father with her, also sister to Lucius of whom she was enamored.

Kid you not, unless Edgar tells her later about Lucius she won't know, bc Oswald had the opportunity but he only confirms to Lucius he's not related to Merrybelle; as far as Oswald knows Merrybelle herself has no idea she's related to the Evans and so says nothing. The duchess is content to stay silent now she has lost Lucius to her fears and is probably trying to atone for all her bad actions by raising Merrybelle. The duke is all too happy to just have his lost daughter back. I don't think anybody told Merrybelle anything at all poor girl.

Edgar though was stalking her and the Evans for three years so I think he probably knew Lucius wasn't blood related to them.

And I can't imagine he'd be so chill with the idea of Merrybelle marrying Lucius if he knew his beloved sister was unknownwingly committing incest.

So unless Edgar told her after everything, Merrybelle would go on thinking she fell in love/infatuation with her half brother.

We don't see her react to this, bc she realises this the moment she also decides to kill the demon!Edgar, aka the same day as the night she decides to flee with him after all.

And even if she knows the truth after, it's not told on page, bc the important thing is the incest haunting that story ( even Oswald! He likes her enough he only renounces his courting of her bc he realises they're blood related), revealing her origins and throwing light on her relationship with Edgar.

Edgar who straight up abducts her in the middle of the night, unable to commit to his vow of letting her get over her grief for Lucius and live as a ward/adopted daughter of the Evans. He wants her to never forget him, and he feels sorry for Lucius, and he loves his little sister so so much, wants to protect her forever.... The moment she hugs him, and tells Edgar she was waiting for him in tears, Merrybelle's humanity is forfeit.

He needs her to survive the loneliness of bring a vampirnella even if he doesn't want to recognize it. It's the same reason he takes off with Alan after all.

Much to think about.

I'm telling you Moto Hagio went for the Gothic with capital G.

Note: So Lucius Evans is Eustace Evans in the English edition? Uh. Same as Merrybelle in Spain becoming Marybelle in the English translation I guess.
