ok anyways gay ppl digression over. the point that i was thinking about is that within the fairytale narrative that DN best operates off of, dark as an evil witch/wicked queen or stepsis figure (the curse, the antagonist, and the "dragon" of daisuke's life) cannot ever realistically dream of being accepted or admired as a 'princess.' the princess is pure and righteous-hearted; the princess is brave and innocent, the princess is doted on and beloved by a loving family and friends and fairy godmothers alike. they aren't alone in the metaphorical darkness to brood by themselves like dark himself is. but dark 'recognizes' himself as filth, morally. he recognizes his failings as someone generally apathetic and foul-tempered (re: his self-disparaging drama CD letter in which he says he has little to no good traits + sugisaki outright commenting that he believed he could NEVER match daisuke in kindness,) he too like daisuke wishes that he was different, and in doing so he longs for what he feels(!) that he fundamentally can't have. but this all should be broken by anyone who tries to (and is actually dead serious) about romancing (or even just accepting) him [and daisuke!!]

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.

reference.

as i've started picking up activity, i realized i didn't actually post his reference anywhere hfdfgjdfg. agathis changes throughout the seasons, even if his icons don't currently reflect this! right now you'll spot him in his spring form, his hair worn short and blossoming. uvu thank you to iliasimp for the amazing reference!!

Here is portrayal notes for River, this list may be added to at any time and I'll likely reblog it from time to time when that is the case.

To clarify a question that is not asked but is necessary to answer: if you are a Doctor rper, unless I can tell off vibes on your blog you ship doctorriver/you state it/we talk and it's clear that you're cool with writing it, I treat River's marriage with anyone's Doctor as queerplatonic. (I will not erase her love for the doctor from her character as that is a part of her and her development as a person. And no, I'm not basing her whole person as someone who loves the doctor, I'm saying that the love she has for them and whatever form of love they've had for her helped break the programming Kovarian put her through.)

Akin to Susan, who views the Doctor as grandfather regardless of regeneration, River views the Doctor as her spouse in every and any regeneration, even when she keeps it to herself.

I do touch on her trauma and how that effects her as a person and influences the things she does a bit more often than canon does.

River has great respect for the Doctor's companions/loves that come before and after her. This includes Rose.Tyler, Jamie.Mccrimmon, Donna.Noble, Clara.Oswald, etc. She also has a section in her diary where she keeps information that the Doctor has shared about any of them.

She keeps in touch with her DNA-engineered siblings: Brooke, H2, and O.

I acknowledge that she is adoptive mother to Kamen Vers (although complicated situation there), Charlotte Lux, and mother-figure to Joshua and Ella Noble (in the data-library).

One day Andruil grew tired of hunting mortal men and beasts. She began stalking the Forgotten Ones, wicked things that thrive in the abyss. Yet even a god should not linger there, and each time she entered the Void, Andruil suffered longer and longer periods of madness after returning.

Andruil put on armor made of the Void, and all forgot her true face. She made weapons of darkness, and plague ate her lands. She howled things meant to be forgotten, and the other gods became fearful Andruil would hunt them in turn. So Mythal spread rumors of a monstrous creature and took the form of a great serpent, waiting for Andruil at the base of a mountain.

When Andruil came, Mythal sprang on the hunter. They fought for three day and nights, Andruil slashing deep gouges in the serpent's hide. But Mythal's magic sapped Andruil's strength, and stole her knowledge of how to find the Void. After this, the great hunter could never make her way back to the abyss, and peace returned.

-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

'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:

'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
