that’s really the core of lucifer, i suppose. he knows that something horribly, desperately, unspeakably wrong was done to him. and god did that. so. there’s nothing that can be done but to accept it as it is.

-Comes out of nowhere with no warning- I've always been really curious about this, but what would Dark think about a place like Penacony's Dreamscape world?
@guhamun
WOAHHH GUERILLA SHI IN MY INBOX alkadk this one actually isn't too difficult to answer but i will disclaim that i haven't played HSR in such a long time and penacony was around where i started falling off, so my HSR lore might be a bit fuzzy. anyways, that aside, one of the most important manga arcs (imo) is baku's (as in a dream eater baku) and their whole thing is veeeery similar aesthetically to penacony's dreamscape in some regards. dark gets a face full of it by surprise at first meeting and here's his reaction
Tumblr media Tumblr media
'no good, it's too tacky, what the hell is this?? it’s pissing me off.'
it's somewhat ironic that the phantom thief who's meant to be part 'magician' in occupation finds the more surrealist/light-hearted 'circus' aesthetic gauche, but it's also completely true to his character; he craves class and mature, sensual elegance, he wants confident, grounded subtlety that seductively catches the eye, and not the sort of harsh, las vegas style neon-noise that penacony's filled up to its corners with. between all of the flashing lights and slot machines, the creepy mascots worshipped everywhere, the talking food and walking billboards, the drunkards puking literal rainbows, everything to him is 'too much' and therefore unbearably annoying. to him, it's all forcefully trying to snatch for attention (which he hates!) and fundamentally feels like it's trying to distract from the uglier parts of the city, which are the sorts of places he knows (that as a criminal!) he's going to have to crawl though and thereby witness the absolute worst of. dark is not a gambler or an easy addict, he's not an escapist, (just an escape artist,) he's not even an unjaded innocent --- which is why it's only daisuke who would look at penacony with oblivious wonder and think it was amazing (at least at first,) just like with baku ^ up there.
anyways, back to dark since this was supposed to be mostly about him. he's always the more suspicious and guarded half, but his senses are still good. there'd be a constant deep nausea and malaise that he couldn't shake off (yet couldn't quite name) inside of the dreamscape. for him, something bad is definitely lurking, and not even the quieter rooftops he'd take refuge upon can dispel that feeling. penacony at its base feels hollow and inverted; dark would be sharp enough to realize that he's pretty much a bird in a fishbowl or a fish in a bird cage, penacony itself being a repurposed prison (and a literal portmanteau of 'penalty colony') iirc. the controlling families within it don't bother him, he deals with people like those all the time and has his own pride as a solo thief, but it's hard for him not to feel something else --- just a drop, of pity, a little hollow and apathetic snideness, for the rest of the people wandering about the dreamscape. the ones who wholeheartedly love it, who gave up their real lives to live in a dream, the ones who don't want to face anything and only want to enjoy themselves, the small avoidances that can so easily turn into deeper problems. to quote his watching everyone during insomnia arc:
Tumblr media
'they're gonna live like that forever. i don't know whether that'd be fun or not.' for dark and likewise daisuke, they can always leave a place like penacony as readily as they arrive. the only real 'rule' is that because it's a dream, daisuke's form becomes even more flimsy and 98% of the time he's going to be dark since dark himself is daisuke's dream. dark alone wouldn't want to say any longer than they ever had to in a place like penacony, though--- for him the whole place is just one long eldritch-escher nightmare. it fundamentally offends just about all of his aesthetics and his personal character!!

while it's sinday, i think now's a pretty good chance to say that i May send mutuals shippy / sexual ask prompts! it's not really a call for shipping (especially because childe's a bit? tricky for me to see compatible dynamics with), it's more of childe being the type of person to mess around & have flings.
you are of course free to ignore it if you prefer not to respond! you are also free to do the same with your muses to childe if it's ic. though it's likely i won't send it to ppl whose rules pages or so state that their muses are very difficult to ship with just not to cause confusion. & hey, if it does involve into actual shipping for both me and the mun, that'd be neat to explore!

hc;; i can't believe i haven't made this post yet, but I haven't dug much into the mechanics side of the game, so better now than never. Since I have L.ink using handsigns to communicate, I think it's obvious that Lin.k should use signs to summon the various skill granted him by Ra.uru's arm. Different than typical for him, these will obviously be right-hand dominant rather than his usual left-hand dominant. Most of these signs are based on ASL, but I have tweaked some of them slightly to one-handed.
Ascend— (easily enough, this is just the 'ascend' handsign) pointer finger pointing up, starting from near his hip and traveling upward, remains pointing up until he is done using the power
Fuse— (roughly based 'connect' handsign ) left hand remains stationary with thumb connected to pointer finger and other fingers out; right hand reaches towards whatever he wants to fuse and then directs it towards the new object, finally fusing it by linking his hands together, thumb and pointer finger of his right hand finally connecting around the same fingers on his left hand
Ultra hand— (basically just the sign for 'grab' ) a sharp grabbing gesture direct at whatever he wants to manipulate, pulls his hand slightly towards himself and leaves his hand closed as he twists and turns whatever it is in space
Recall— ( based on the 'recall' ASL sign, but one-handed) right pointer finger taps at his temple before swinging sharply around in front of his chest, pointer finger remains in place until he's done using the ability or the power ends
Autobuild—( sign for 'build', again using two hands ) Right hand and left hand are level infront of his body, settles his right hand on top of his left hand, fingertips overlapping. Pressing his right hand down, the left hand gives away. Then the hands are reversed and the left hand presses down on the right

[Hello everyone. Thank you for waiting for as long as you have. I am sorry to say that this AU and askblog will have to go on indefinite hiatus due to offline events. This doesn't necessarily mean I won't return. It simply means I don't know when I will return. Thank you for reading!]

「𓆄」 "Well. That's not good." Days had come and gone so easily in Spirale, it was nice. But, the black smoke that gave rise to the city, had Hawks grabbing his agency issued walkie.
'Hawks, here. Somebody at the office want to report a fire? I don't need any backup, responding now. 'S probably just an electrical fire or something' The whipping of wind made it hard to make out if he said anything afterwards. But with fervor, Hawks sped over to the burning hi-rise building, expelling all the feathers he could. Which appeared just to be the little ones. Which was fine, those were strong enough to carry and drag people to safety.
Without much else he could do, the fire was still relatively small, he figured he'd be able to put it out himself and smother the flames. While it was his greatest weakness, the smallest of flames could consume the largest of cities, and preventing that was more of a concern than burning up his feathers.
Though, what was hopeful thinking ended up being far from the truth. This was very much premeditated, and a way to draw Hawks out of his patrol. Two of these criminals, one a thief and the other a mugger, were from a few weeks ago respectively. Hawks had previously stopped these two and now they've decided to team up as a play on some sort of stupid revenge?
Tumblr media
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me." A sword is drawn and pointed their way, he'd have to take these two out quickly, if he wanted any hopes of stopping the fire where it stood.
"Didn't anyone tell you there's safety in numbers? Speed can only get you so far." And speed didn't help if you were surrounded.
And that's where it all went wrong. When he was knocked out shortly after their fight broke out.
--
A few days later that was when he woke up, given that he didn't end up in the blacks of the Abyss, but rather: the sterile whites of a hospital room, Hawks could assume he wasn't dead.
Though, when he went to cough, a sharp inhalation of ice cold oxygen made him realize he was fitted with a support mask. The smoke must've done a lot of damage to his lungs, which was fair, he didn't know how long he was out.
"Knock knock!" A nurse called in, gently rapping at his hospital door before opening it, the shock on her face evident as she entered the room. "Wow, maybe we were wrong to deny you visitors. With that mask, you won't be able to communicate your needs vocally, but there is a handy text-to-speech app on your phone. Tell me. How are you feeling?"
It's necessary small talk, to gauge how much pain he was in physically as well as maybe mentally. Which...Speaking of that, something was different. Memories that were clearly his that he couldn't remember before, though recounted to him by others, were finally his own. He'd just killed Jin and was basically thrown into a war. Pain etched the man's eyes, now reaching for his phone.
Tumblr media
"Terrible." The mechanical voice chimed in as he typed away. "Not for the reasons you may think." His wings felt different too. Where his longest feathers used to be, they were now replaced by prosthetics. Probably to help him fly? He didn't know, but he couldn't try now. "Physically is a different story. Besides the burning sensation crawling on my back." Very intensely, mind you.
The nurse dutifully took notes of Hawks' condition on her clipboard as he spoke with him, filling out his chart to the best of her ability. "And what about visitors? We've had a couple people ask if they could see you, but denied them because your condition wasn't stable yet."
"No visitors." The deadpan text to speech voice answered far too quickly, which caused the nurse to raise her eyebrows. She had assumed maybe he'd want to see someone who requested to see him. But, no?
"I'll respect your wishes. Anyone who asks to see you will be denied until you tell us otherwise."
And for a couple of days, Hawks and this woman would have required back and forths. And on the last day, after some walking sessions, to ensure the pro-hero had enough strength to walk and carry himself, was the day he checked himself out of the hospital.
It was the middle of the night when he'd left, Hawks had to ensure he didn't run into anyone he knew, so that was his reasoning at least. And, once the crisp city air made contact with his face, he pushed off of the remnants of what had remained of his quirk to take to the skies. Hawks had a lot to mull over, he wasn't in a war now, which left him actually able to think about his actions.
And how he had to kill someone he knew was a good guy. None of them deserved to be in this war, they were all just rungs on the ladder for AFO, and that wasn't fair to any of them.

Vash's Spiramonster: TOMBI
TOMBI is just a little guy. ń_ǹ."
TOMBI's appearance is a bit deceiving: its "teeth" are actually soft flaps of skin, and he is in fact completely toothless. A headbutt from its thick skull would likely cause more damage than its gummy bite, but TOMBI is extremely averse to fighting to the point where it does not know any damaging moves. While naturally quite a shy and timid creature, TOMBI is absurdly loyal and will rarely ever disobey commands, even if his own health is demanded to the point of self-KO. Additionally, he boasts a high amount of HP, which he utilizes for his supportive moves. Vash loves this little guy, and would welcome anyone asking for a copy of him. He's not explaining whatever's up with the glowing markings on it, though.
Moveset:
Lo(o)se Tail
Tantrum
Defender
Grand Restore
Drain Orb
Lo(o)se Tail — Technically, either a passive ability or a commanded move. TOMBI's tail is dense and detachable. Attacks directed toward the tail do not affect TOMBI's base HP, but it can only suffer a finite amount of damage before it is rendered unusable. TOMBI can also be commanded to detach the tail (ie: TOMBI is caught by the tail, or an opposing Spiramonster has latched onto it), but this comes at a price: its heavy tail is used as a counterbalance to its massive skull, therefore if detached, TOMBI will be highly prone to toppling over. (And crying. A lot. See 'Tantrum'). TOMBI's tail will only regenerate when it is swapped out for another Spiramonster, since it has performance anxiety.
Tantrum — TOMBI takes a pratfall, wailing loudly and making a big deal out of it. This pathetic display draws opponent Spiramonster attention, putting them in a state of confusion and aggression. Affected Spiramonsters' attacks will be directed solely toward TOMBI until the enraged Spiramonsters are switched out for another.
Defender — A sharp rush of agility and speed overtakes TOMBI, set to defend another Spiramonster. It will throw itself into the way of harm to protect its target. The buff lasts until TOMBI's tail is severed or detached, or if TOMBI is commanded to use Tantrum. When TOMBI's tail is detached, it no longer has access to this move.
Grand Restore — A healing move. The amount of health restored is equivalent to the amount of health TOMBI sacrifices of itself. If ordered, TOMBI will KO himself to heal the target. This move cures confusion and enraged statuses for both the user and the target. TOMBI must make physical contact with his head onto the target for this move to work. TOMBI's underbelly markings will glow while using this move.
Drain Orb — When pushed to its utmost limits, TOMBI may use this last-resort move. A dark core of gravity appears in its mouth, sucking in nearby allies and foes alike to its epicenter. Before anyone can get close enough to get absorbed, however, TOMBI will become overwhelmed with fear and snap its jaws shut, swallowing the attack before it can cause any damage. It will have hiccups for the rest of the battle. This is the only move TOMBI will not willingly perform on command.
