#WHAT DO YOU MEAN that child will ascend into a god and kill you

[hertas-funger-blog]

Is so... omfg. Like what do you mean you've been searching for a family your whole life to feel a sense of belonging cus you were abandoned as a child and robbed of that feeling. What do you mean you're trying to make your own family with your pregnant wife by risking your life in a murder dungeon. What do you mean you've found a small child that's like a daughter to you and are using that as a way to fill that void prematurely.

Dadhara is killing me I'm dying currently I'm bleeding out in an alleyway

This Group Chat Could've Been a Meeting

Sleepy King AU masterpost

Yeah... don't expect me to keep churning these out. I was just excited to share "god egg" lore with y'all. UwU

-----

Batman made no comment as Clark sat down next to him, angled ever so slightly so he could read his screen. Diana, likewise, was leaned over so she could read the group chat Clark had started to keep everyone in the loop. Batman was already archiving the transcript of their conversation.

Young Miss Fenton’s frustration and apparent determination to do things herself were a little worrying. Amity Park was currently an information black hole to them, they had no idea what she thought she could do. Perhaps it was youthful naïveté, perhaps the girl actually had something up her sleeve. Either way they could only hope the JLD came to a solution before she became an additional issue.

Danny tilted, slumping gently against Clark’s side. Clark looked guilty as he gently patted Danny’s head with the hand the boy wasn’t leaning against.

Batman could understand, this situation was incredibly stressful. They could only hope the boy would be understanding and forgive him for this deception after they found a way to pull out and banish the Ghost King without killing Danny in the process.

“Oh my god,” Dr. Fate hissed faintly, “it’s a god egg!”

Batman had no idea what a god egg was.

From the way Zatanna and Marvel tensed they did know. “You can’t be serious,” Marvel whispered harshly.

Batman glared at them and held a finger up to his mouth. Clark was doing likewise before he turned and reminded Danny to keep eating. Batman typed out a quick message.

Batman: Use the group chat. Batman: And define “god egg.” Constantine: The hell you mean god egg? What?@

Batman held up a hand as everyone save Clark had held up their communicators. He cleared his throat and added a glower to get their attention, then pointed at Fate. He had brought up the term, it was up to him to explain. Fate typed a message as a different kind of tension filled the room.

Dr. Fate: It’s a slight misnomer as it’s not just gods, but rather any being with god-like powers. Dr. Fate: But when a mortal is about to Ascend or a godling is about to mature into their powers, sometimes their elders will seal off an area to isolate the would-be god. Dr. Fate: This can be to protect a child from threats while teaching them to use their new powers, or it can be to give the would-be god trials and keep them from “cheating” with outside help. Dr. Fate: Often it’s both, so the child or mortal don’t get given trials they can’t possibly overcome on their own. Dr. Fate: Amity Park is a god egg, and this boy is the chick. Dr. Fate: THAT is the block preventing us from being aware of Amity Park until now, and continues to block all attempts to look into it.

Zatanna frowned down at her communicator before she furiously tapped out her own message.

Zatanna: Shouldn’t the chick be Phantom? Constantine: Bloody hell you can’t be serious! Zatanna: He’s the one who’s photos won’t show up on the internet no matter what. Constantine: If this kid is the chick of a god egg we need to get him back down there yesterday. Cpt. Marvel: How were we able to find any information on Danny if he’s the chick? Dr. Fate: I don’t know, I just know what I could scry. Constantine: It don’t matter! Zatanna: It seems odd for Danny to be the chick when we could find so much information on him but not Phantom. Raven: Are we sure it’s Danny and not the Ghost King who’s the chick? Dr. Fate: There is a high chance it’s the Ghost King, yes. Constantine: We need to get this chick back to it’s egg before a bunch of angry gods come looking for their godling! Cpt. Marvel: Are we sure we want the Ghost King to Ascend? Isn’t he already a tyrant?

Batman bit back a groan as the chat sped up. While he liked being kept in the loop, this was getting to be a bit too much like his own family’s group chat. He got Diana’s attention and nodded towards the door. She nodded back and stood up, herding the magicians out of the kitchenette.

Batman got up and started the eclectic kettle, then went looking through the cabinet, finding the instant hot cocoa mix. Once the kettle finished heating up the water inside, Batman made a cup of hot cocoa, which he handed off to Clark, who gave it to Danny, before sitting back down.

It was just the waiting game now, it was up to the magic experts to decide what to do with this new information. For his part, Batman set about updating the mission file as well as the personal files of all beings involved. This included starting a new one on Phantom, since Zatanna had brought up a good point.

He was beginning to suspect far, far more had been going on than they had assumed, even more so than just a whole town in distress no one had known about. After all, they had images of Pariah Dark, and the entity they’d seen last night didn’t match that description.

They also had no description of Phantom, though what few bits of information they’d found on him described the ghost as appearing to be a teenaged boy. Oracle had found one particularly poetic fan of the ghost boy who described him as having “hair made of starlight” and “piercing peridot eyes” that could describe the entity they’d seen last night. Batman got Clark’s attention as he went back to the currently silent group chat.

Batman: Are we sure Pariah Dark is still the Ghost King?

Clark’s eyes grew huge as he read the message. He whipped out his own communicator and tapped out a message he didn’t send, but held up the screen for Batman to read. “It sounds like at least one of them choked out there.”

Batman nodded, it was the base assumption this whole fiasco was hinging on. But if Pariah Dark had managed to escape from and be sealed back into the Sarcophagus of Eternal Slumber without a single magic user being the wiser, was it not also possible he lost his crown in the process? And if the new king, likely Phantom, hadn’t been officially crowned yet even if the title had passed on, again how would anyone know? And if he is in fact the chick of this god egg, could not that simply have been one of his trials?

Wonder Woman: There is a strong possibility that Pariah Dark lost his crown to Phantom, who is the actual chick of this god egg. Wonder Woman: That does not change that he is currently asleep in Danny and can’t be removed without killing him. Batman: Since Phantom wasn’t in the Sarcophagus of Eternal Slumber, are we sure he was asleep? Constantine: It doesn’t matter! Constantine: We need to return the chick to it’s egg. Constantine: I’m sorry for this danny kid mate Constantine: I really am Constantine: But we can’t risk a bunch of gods being pissy about a missing chick. Cpt. Marvel: If I remember the brief earlier, isn’t Phantom a good guy? Cpt. Marvel: I doubt he’d want to hurt Danny if he can help it. Batman: We don’t have enough information to draw any conclusions on Phantom.

Clark held up his communicator with another message tapped out but not sent. “They’re doing a vote and a debate right now, half are for just sending Danny home and half want to find a way to get the king out of Danny.”

Batman sighed then, the dangers of having an even number of people in a mission. Sadly neither him nor Clark were knowledgeable enough to be taken seriously as the tie breaker.

Hi! I'm almost certain you've answered asks regarding Drow being a companion love interest before, but I'm not sure if my question was specifically discussed. If so, I apologize!

Say I wanted the smelly, gore lusting man (God the things I'd do), what would the player find themselves needing to do to gain that relationship with him?

HMM good question, lets see!

Generally speaking, to gain approval you would have to:

Show ruthlessness during dialogue and interactions (succeed intimidation checks or jump straight into combat)

Be kind towards animals, and honest/patient with children (He will be neutral if you just coddle them)

Oppose the absolute and antagonize mindflayers, gith, and drow.

Be nice to Shadowheart.

Pick a lot of the joke/playfully mean dialogue options.

Be a little hard-to-get in romance interactions until act 3.

Responding to his advances with more mellow, romantic dialogue will earn you more points than overt sexuality (In some cases, the latter may even get you disapproval).

Make him laugh.

To trigger his romance, you have to have good approval and sleep with him once. Following that, pressuring him to sleep with you again or shaming him for not putting your life in danger by trying will earn you disapproval, and an eventual break-up if you continue to insist. He enjoys being wooed, but not chased, and dislikes when you misunderstand his visceral attempts to emotionally reach out as sexual propositions; he will play along either way, but it will put him on a Bhaalist path.

Some quest choices that will get you on his good side:

ACT 1 -

He's indifferent if Arabella dies, but you gain approval if you save her.

Let him take on the Loviatar Priest when he requests it.

Don't get the Absolute's mark from Priestess gut.

Save Mayrina, but then either break or keep the wand.

Let Astarion kill Gandrel.

Help Karlach.

Either let Shadowheart kill Lae'zel, or stop the fight.

Don't kill the owlbear mother or cub.

Send Barcus flying (He doubles over laughing)

Kill Minthara.

Side with the mercenaries at Grymforge.

Kill the gith student refusing to fight.

Refuse to give the inquisitor the artefact.

ACT 2 -

Help Arabella find her parents.

Don't release the pixie from the moonlantern.

Help Mol cheat against Raphael.

Let him massacre the goblins at Moonrise Towers.

Get the Thorm bosses AND yurgir to kill themselves instead of fighting any of them (again: You are rewarded with him laughing his ass off about it)

Don't comply with Araj.

If you save Zevlor at the mindflayer colony, shame him for giving into the Absolute's call.

Antagonize the emperor after his reveal and refuse the astral tadpole.

ACT 3 -

Help Yenna with either gold or food, but don't invite her to your camp.

Kill Arfur once you find out about the explosive toys.

Forge an alliance with Gortash.

Win the Laff riot contest.

Don't surrender Dame Aylin to Lorroakan.

Don't sign the contract, but agree to get the Orphic hammer through other means later. (Anything to not rely on the Emperor anymore)

If she hasn't become a Dark Justiciar, don't surrender Shadowheart to Viconia (He will fight the party unless you leave him at camp and succeed a deception check later). He doesn't care what you do if she's a DJ.

Vanra's quest can get you either approval or disapproval at different points. He approves of you agreeing to help her, then also approves of you killing her for the money, but he disapproves of you letting the child die or of siding with Ethel.

Agree to the Avenge The Drowned quest (He just thinks they're hot)

Don't let Astarion Ascend, or kill him if he does.

Kill Sarevok.

Let him take on Orin by himself.

Don't turn into a mindflayer (he will break up with you later), nor let Karlach do it.

If he's become a chosen of Bhaal, let him control the Absolute.

Can I just say how in love I am with the way you draw Marika? Like every art you post of her has my jaw dropping…you add such a beautiful layer of humanity to her with her dynamic expressions and poses—it’s so refreshing to see especially when so many fan arts of her needlessly sexualize her or dial her down to a one-dimensional stone-faced villain (which a villain she is—but she is still complex)

And I adore how you draw her partial nudity as something natural, meaning that you don’t draw her without a top for the sake of objectifying her,

Your art is overall so pleasant and colourful and fun to look at, and your takes of Marika’s character in your fanart is literally what made me more interested in who she is in-game.

Thank you for drawing her the way you do! (And for drawing Elden Ring fanart in general💕)

i've been letting this ask stewing in my inbox for a while because it makes me so emotional 🥲

if you look at how i drew Marika before anything in the DLC was announced, it did fall into the two categories you were talking about, because despite having a little more positive view on her than the rest of the fandom at the time, i still had no idea who she was as a person. and by that time i were more interested in Malenia, so even though i did try to envision how Marika was, it's a very distant and vague image. which is what i love about Elden Ring lore in general: we see Marika via how her children see her.

it was easy back then to conclude we'd never get her, and "mother" is a distant term that will always be overshadowed by "God", so i just went along with the general haha evil sexy girlboss thing that the fandom was doing. but then the DLC teaser dropped the another elusive (possibly firstborn) child of her, with a statue of her holding a baby in his boss room, she started to get more little quirks that's so human in my work (the small smile, the little lock of hair that curls gently) because for the first time, we see her through the eye of a son that evidently adores her, so she gets a bit more human, because someone views her with emotions that are not fear nor distance.

then the DLC drops, and it's not just through Messmer's eye (or the entirety of his being that carry so much of her love it weighs him down and twist into the most horrible curse in the end), it's through the eyes of her family that were no longer there at all. it's the jar innard enemy that huddled in a jar and clutched at a piece of raw meat, it's the Grandmother's gentle smile as she rest among a sea of flowers, it's the solitary minor erdtree that bathed the whole place in the kindness of gold, it's the Fire Knights and soldiers that clearly viewed her as Mother as much as she was God, it's Miquella throwing away his love and doubt because he didn't know how to deal with the revelation that his mother was once a fallible human just like the rest of them, it's Trina's entreaty that Godhood was just a cage that would kill him slowly, it's the final boss music with the female voice belting "Hail, Marika the Eternal" - in the place where she had to wade through a sea of flesh and blood, her family included, to ascend to Godhood. it's finally understanding that to her, Eternity is to live for all her loved ones that have fallen down.

and somehow, it all comes back to this portrait at the base game, right at the Roundtable Hold, of a woman with permanently lowered eyes.

yeah i know after the DLC i've put on such a Messmer-style protective glasses for her, it shows very clearly in my art. now she could cry, looks sad, small smile, big smile, looks silly, looks cute, looks serious, her hair is pulled up in twenty different ways, she jokes and talks to animals and goes back to be just a simple young girl rolling around in the grass, blah blah... im drawing all these with eyes wide open. and i have no intention of stopping lol.

sometimes, things that already come alive will never go back to be a cardboard cutout anymore. if ppl don't like it, block me or whatever, in my space, i'll do that makes me happy. and im very glad that other ppl could find their own happiness and solace with my work too :) thank you for such a thoughtful and kind messages!

Monsterfucker Rom-Com story where you’ve birthed the Anti-Christ or whatever and the demon assigned to them or their demon daddy dukes it out with you on the regular bc they need to make sure this kid is raised to their standards/certain markers need to be hit for the kid to ascend/Demon Daddy to be released to start the apocalypse and

1. You have absolutely no fucks to give why are you in my house running around like you pay bills? Oh? This is your kid? I THINK THE FUCK NOT BITCH this is MY kid GTFO.

2. You/They chose me as their mother for a reason and it’s not bc I’m stupid, how’re y’all gonna take over the world if I can’t get my kid to survive past infancy bc y’all don’t know the meaning of subtlety? you train them on how to use their powers, I’ll teach them basic common sense and some manners bc clearly, you demons have neither and the school will teach them math.

So just enemies to lovers with a demon who’s forced to coparent w/someone who’s gonna fight the devil and god before they let anyone take their kid and v much not intimidated by the demon haunting the kid/house.

“bedtime is bedtime and if you keep my baby up late again whispering creepy shit from the closet the Holy Water I squirt gunned in your face the first time we met won’t be the worst thing I do to you.”

“I will find a way to put you on child support motherfucker, when we slept together you had a human body and a name don’t make me track that identity down, how you gonna be a deadbeat dad to the Antichrist? Gimme your card.”

“They can summon the dead? What do you mean they can summon the dead and you didn’t know they could do that, I’m going to kill you - FIX THIS”

“Is that Karen? Why is she- omg she’s one of yours isn’t she that nosy bitch I fucking knew it!”

𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐍𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒.

All sentences in this meme are taken from all of the house of the dragon season two teasers and new trailers so far up to date. Change names, locations, pronouns as you see fit.

Errors were made in the hours following King Viserys' death.

The war will be fought,many will die,and the victor will eventually ascend the throne.

There is no war so hateful to the gods as a war between kin, and no war so bloody as a war between dragons.

We fight for our queen! 

My father chose me, his firstborn child, to succeed him. He held to his decision until death.

 And yet, Alicent's son sits on my throne. 

I mean to fight this war, and win it. 

The realm will soon tear itself apart if men do not remember the oaths sworn to King Viserys, and to his rightful heir.

The Hightowers are marching. You must crush this beast at its head.

Our terms are very simple: renounce the false king, and bend the knee to the queen, or your house burns.

When the desire to kill and burn takes hold and reason is forgotten, we will not even remember what began the war in the first place

 I fear what I have begun.

There are two sides of a story. 

Choose your side.

For the one true king, Aegon!

Only weeks ago, my lord husband was alive and the realm was at peace.

On his death bed, he knew the realm would never accept a queen.

Rhaenyra's supporters will believe what they wish, but Viserys wanted Aegon to succeed him.

They wish now not for the good of the realm, but for the satisfaction of vengeance.

Plot against the king, and I will pay it back a hundred times over.

I'm as fearsome as any of them.

You have no idea the sacrifices that were made to put you on that throne.

My uncle is a challenge I welcome, if he dares face me.

We will prevail and bring forth peace.

You must accept that the path to victory now is one of violence.

Good....to war then.

All my life, I've endeavored to serve both my house and the realm.

Whose side are you on?

When the desire to kill and burn takes hold and reason is forgotten, we will not even remember what began the war in the first place.

Miquella’s Character arc

There is a fuss going on after the dlc release about Miquella so I am here to say my own thoughts and opinions on this. YES, Miquella ended up being manipulative and he didn’t do the best things to achieve his goals no matter his good intentions. But that was not always the case…

Miquella’s beginning, as we see in the Haligtree, gave hopes and possibilities for a better world. He did care for his sister and did care for the unwanted. After he abandoned the golden order fundamentalism he still worked hard to cure his sister. Thinking he could achieve his goals by remaining an incomplete god and essentially a child though, didn’t work.

If you think about it, every Demigod that ever ascended to godhood or anything related to gaining power (Rykard, Godrick, Malenia etc) drove them all out of their last parts of sanity, their sense of justice and compassion. A common thing we see is that, the demigods begun as rebellions against the golden order and then to make their goals reality they ascended into gods, in a maddening state. This is what happens to Miquella in the dlc and you, save him from this fate…

By leaving behind his body parts and especially St. Trina, Miquella left behind everything that was keeping him a good person and a person willing to truly change the world. He even abandoned the Haligtree and his sister in order to ascend. He moved to horrific deeds and decisions in order to succeed his ascension to godhood, and if you think about some other demigods, or Marika herself, it’s a non escaping end.

If in the beginning, wished for a better world he wouldn’t even think of his “non free will age” he then realized that to fix this world it’s going to be needed more than mere compassion. And by realizing that he abandons every doubt, every kindness, every unconditional love to his ascension. His ability to gain love from others and to aspire a world of it turned into manipulation.

When you, the tarnished follow his footsteps you essentially follow his broken parts, all parts of his fears to follow this path. And then St. Trina, all that’s left from his kindness, tells you to kill him in order to protect him and save him from this fate of corruption that his mother too had.

St. Trina tells you to kill Miquella and not let the poor thing become a god. This is what she meant. She meant to save him from this fate of becoming a god. He left behind his pieces of all unconditional kindness. By killing him, you save him from this fate. Maybe you, even save his kindness alive in any way you wish.

• Were his actions in the DLC wrong? YES

• Were his intentions good? YES

• Did he manipulate? YES in the end

• Did he truly have care for others? YES, in the beginning

Would I choose his age of compassion? No it still doesn’t add up to me but, in my eyes Miquella is not that evil master villain that others portray. His character development is much more complex than the definition of “good” or “evil”. Essentially he begun as a promising and carrying character and ended up as a naive tragic manipulator.

Now shoutout to the other topic today.

Miquella and Mohg

• Did Mohg kidnap Miquella on his own will? YES

• Was he enchanted by Miquella? YES

• Did Miquella have any plans with him? YES, but NOT before he took him.

So, even if in the dlc we know that Miquella charmed Mohg, we are also clued that, Mohg actually had his own plans and ambitions with him. Miquella would never think to involve Mohg in his plans, not after he realises that he turned useful. It just doesn’t make any sense. But that doesn’t mean that Mohg was not charmed, LATER

The first plan of Miquella, was to wait inside his cocoon inside the Haligtree and be born again as a new god. But we know that Mohg, while Malenia was against Radahn, still abducted Miquella from inside his cocoon.

“ Wishing to raise Miquella to full godhood, Mohg wished to become his consort, taking the role of monarch. But no matter how much of his bloody bedchamber he tried to share, he received no response from the young Empyrean “

“Render up your offerings of blood to your Lord. Drench my consort's chamber. Slake his cocoon's thirst. His awakening shall herald the dawn of our dynasty”

This concludes to the fact that indeed, Mohg tried to share his bedchamber with Miquella and indeed wished to build a new dynasty with him as his consort.

And while we know that Miquella charmed him in order to achieve his entrance to the Land of Shadow, there is no explanation on why would he charm him to take him out of his cocoon which he was trying to succeed something in. He still had faith in the Haligtree and he decided to abandon it later.

But I am pretty sure that Miquella departed his spirit from body, so he probably wanted Mohg to stop his blood rituals on him. This is probably why he charmed him. He wanted him to stop and used his power to make him act on his own plans. I believe that the charm came after the abduction when he realised this ritual will not grant him his wishes.

What Ansbach said about him trying to undo Miquella’s charm, Mohg must’ve been already charmed at this point. Ansbach would not like his lord to be enchanted in any way, no matter what Miquella made him do.

Miquella decided to take Mohg’s body way after he was killed. He lost all of his kindness and compassion at this point.

RoR x doma reader who has the same personality and blood demon art as doma from demon slayer. Like the reader is fighting for humanity because they claim that they were bored or something. How would the other fighters react to finding out that they can’t feel human emotions. Along with that hey can’t really eat normal foods after offering some to the reader.

-You were definitely an oddball in Valhalla, being a human turned demon, and ascended to Valhalla as a demon.

-Since you were free from your former master as well as the rules of hiding from the sun, you lived life to the fullest, enjoying yourself again, no longer desiring to rule over a cult.

-The only thing that remained the same was that you were unable to eat regular food, but you no longer became hungry, so you didn’t have to kill others… well, only if they deserved it, right?

-Many were intimidated by you, you were incredibly powerful, but your happy, flirty, and laid-back nature didn’t match, but anyone, especially fighters, could easily sense that you were dangerous, and you were not to be underestimated by any means.

-Unlike other demons you knew, you weren’t really blood thirsty, you just wanted to have fun and enjoy yourself, but if you were pushed to that point, there was no mercy.

-Brunnhilde was stunned when you approached her, wanting to fight after watching several interesting fights, as you were bored and wanted a chance to fight against someone strong, and the only way you could do that was to fight a god!

-The gods were stunned when you walked out, as many argued that you were a demon, and shouldn’t fight for humanity, but you just smiled, “I used to be a weak human until I was blessed with becoming a demon- I need to help those who are still weak and pathetic.”

-The humans weren’t all that happy, being insulted by you, as many were confused, you were willing to fight for humans, but you didn’t hesitate to insult them, seeing them as beneath you.

-Your combat skills were breathtaking, be able to endure what would have been fatal wounds, not even blinking an eye at them, easily regenerating, as well as being able to adapt to the attacks of your opponent, using your war fans to easily deflect his attacks.

-You quickly grew bored and sighed almost sadly before easily rushing forward and decapitating your opponent. You had been going easy on him, with the hopes that he would give you an actual challenge, but once you realized he was going all out, you quickly lost interest.

-Kojiro greeted you warmly, being friendly and invited you to join him for a meal and drinking, but he was stunned to learn that you were unable to eat normal food, since you were a demon. Jack soon joined and the three of you actually enjoyed yourself.

-Jack couldn’t help but notice that despite your bright, friendly smile, there were no true emotions behind them, “May I ask- can you feel emotions?”

-You just beamed over at him, looking excited, curious, “Ooh~ that’s right, you can see into the souls of others. I’ve never been able to, even when I was a human child!”

-Jack had a thoughtful look on his face, feeling something similar with you, which you were able to tell. You liked these two strange men, they were interesting to you, and it wasn’t often when a human, let alone two, caught your attention.

-It was the start of a beautiful, but odd, friendship.

Part two of what I'm tentatively labelling the Ferryman AU :P (if this sounds disorganised it's because I'm feeling like if I don't write this down something Bad will happen)

Okay so we left off with something or other I'm not going to pretend to remember basically now I need to tell you important things. Okay so, there's one day when the veil between life and death is at its thinnest and it's the only day that Wei Wuxian can cross through into the mortal realm - unlike other gods, who can cross through at any time. Why? Uh. Because Wei Wuxian has an evil boss called Bai Wuxiang who he's certain is fucking that weird emperor god Jun Wu (oh honey, it's so much more simple than that). Okay, that's not the only reason - the real reason is because it's the one day where the dead spirits can interact with the live world, and Wei Wuxian acts as their guardian, but he mainly lets them do what they want because he will Know if they do something that endangers either other spirits or living beings. I completely forgot to mention but obviously this day of the dead is Wei Wuxian's birthday because of course I'm going to angst that up, who do you take me for. There's so much I want to splurge about but first let's talk about the cool ass backstory/reasoning I've got for why Wei Wuxian became this Ferryman deity type guy. So so so, Baoshan Sanren was the Ferryman, untethering souls and guiding them in groups to the afterlife, all of that jazz. She heard all kinds of final wishes and regrets and promises and words, and she tried to fulfil them when she had the chance (she was less overworked than Wei Wuxian for Reasons). When she stumbles across a couple of cultivators dying in one another's arms, she hears the strongest regrets and wishes ever - not for the cultivators themselves but for the son they had apparently left in a nearby village. Those are the wishes that stay with her, and the first ones she moves to fulfil when she gets a tiny bit of free time. She finds a tiny little boy in Yiling, so scared and alone and her cold immortal heart aches because she may be used to scooping children's souls up out of their bodies but that doesn't mean she ever gets used to seeing a child in pain. She hates how this little infant looks, and finds herself going back to Yiling whenever she has time. She just wants to help this little A-Ying find someone safe and loving to look after him. The Ferryman cannot interact with the living, though. Well...apart from one day of the year. Every time that day rolls around, she's there to give A-Ying some food and love, wishing that she could do more for him - Bai Wuxiang is an asshole and hates the living, he hates it when the gods mingle with mortals, let alone helps them, so this is all she can do. Every year. Every day that A-Ying gets a little older. Food and support. He begins to look for her before she can go looking for him, beaming up at her as though he isn't hurt or scared or alone, as though he's not being beaten by assholes or attacked by dogs. Baoshan Sanren understands the meaning of helplessness in a way she never has before. Meanwhile, bitch fuck Jun Wu is like "damn my Ferryman is becoming far too attached to this-" and then he sees Wei Wuxian and is like Fuck because when someone has a chance at ascending, there's this sort of aura around them that is detectable by absolute fuck faces - I mean by the Heavenly Emperor. Jun Wu doesn't want this little riffraff freak to ascend because there's something Off about him (it's because little A-Ying has always been on the edge of the border of life and death and it shows with how resentful energy clings to him). So Jun Wu decides to kill two birds with one stone by getting rid of his Ferryman's worldly attachment and avoiding someone he dislikes getting into Heaven. Baoshan Sanren finds A-Ying's body. She also finds his soul sitting next to it, curled up in a little ball and crying, and yet still smiling and asking her why she's come early this year.

What would yanderes be like as in-laws? (Poseidon would undoubtedly be in the worst in-laws since technically he IS his own father-in-law). From the best to the worst.

A) One of their children's boyfriend/girlfriend is everything they detest/hate in a person.

B) Percy behaving like a good mother-in-law. (I honestly see Percy being the typical mother-in-law who says phrases like: don't worry son, you're part of the family now, feel like you're at home or just being friendly and sociable with the her son/daughter's partner.)

C) The son/daughter always talks about his/her partner. WHENEVER he gets the chance, he even comes up with cheesy (or extremely sweet) words.

D) When yanderes comment or try to do something to their child's partner, the son/daughter will defend their partner tooth and nail. Always PROTECTING you from something bad happening to you.

//

Additional bonus. The girl/boy is a mortal who believes nothing in the existence of gods. (Or simply the boy/girl is a weak mortal)/I think DaddyPose wouldn't be happy/)

poseidon would be the father-in-law from hel. he'd be terrible even IF he actually somewhat approved of the partner, but he's an absolute NIGHTMARE if he doesn't 💀 the kid doesn't have time to introduce their partner cuz he would straight up kill them the second they find out they're human. relationship over an instant

hades would be okay with it. he's a little iffy about the relationship, but he won't be rude to the partner especially when he sees how much his child loves them. he does, however, warn his kid that if they REALLY want to be together, then the person would have to accept immortality and godhood. if the partner doesn't and his kid doesn't wanna force them, hades would pressure them to break up to save his kid from future heartbreak

apollo's a little huffy about it. i mean, a human??? you're MY kid, you couldn't score any better???? 💀 he'd be pretty rude upon first meeting cuz he's already pointing out their physical flaws and calling them ugly 😭 percy would have to tell him to stfu. it'd take some time for him to accept it, but when he (begrudgingly) does, he would insist that his child deify them QUICKLY before they lose them (he's paranoid). he would actually FORCE the partner to ascend to protect his child from the heartbreak of having to lose them because he knows how much that hurts

beelzebub wouldn't outright hate it. he'd be curious about why his child picked a human when they could've fallen for someone better so he stalks and researches on the partner to learn more about them. finds nothing special about them and doesn't get why his kid likes them so much. he believes the relationship will amount to nothing so he uses his abilities to control the partner; make them angrier and more violent, more jealous and possessive, just overall more toxic to the point that the kid would get sick of it and dump them on the spot.

loki would be DISGUSTED and he would make it very obvious. the only reason he's not jumping the brat and killing them for wasting his kid's time is because percy's got a good grip on his arm. he'll be very snarky and cruel towards them tho and say a bunch of shit that makes the partner run out in tears. he'd have a good laugh until percy and his kid start yelling at him, then he'll get pissed that THEY'RE mad at HIM, and take the anger out on the human and kill them

so best to worst in-law:

Hades: he's most likely to be okay with the relationship and won't interfere much

Apollo: he'll begrudgingly accept it, won't try to kill the kid, but would force them to ascend

Beelzebub: would NOT accept it, but he won't kill them.... just control them into becoming a bad person so his kid would leave them

Loki: only reason he's not number five is because the partner at least has a few more minutes to live after the first meeting

Poseidon: is the worst because the partner will INSTANTLY die after first meeting him

Two sides of the same coin

Philza was an old soul. He has lived through many eras, made many friends, and lost just as much.

He has seen many things, from kingdoms rising and empires falling, to humans ascending and gods reforming. The world was a strange thing. But perhaps the weirdest thing he's ever seen was the Demon King and the God of Life's relationship.

When the God of Life was still the God of Death and the Demon King was content to stay in his domain, everything was okay. They coexisted, in a way. The god ruled over the dead while the demon ruled over the demons. Two rulers of the Underworld, but never interacting.

Then, the demon decided to explore the Overworld. He was shunned for leaving his throne, but he never stopped caring for his subjects. He became kind, and everything his name was not. He was good.

The Underworld went into chaos without the demons' king. The god was enraged. He went up to the world to snap some sense into the other ruler, only to be enraptured by the life that surrounded him.

It was suddenly so colorful. So bright. So so beautiful. The god decided to stay and create and make life in a domain that belonged to no one. He made it his. It was wonderful.

Without the two rulers, the Underworld was left asunder. But that was a story for another day. One with fallen angels and humans ascending to godhood.

The two rulers lived their lives, completely forgetting the existence of the other. Until they were reminded that they do, in fact, live in the same world.

At first they paid each other no mind, respecting and understanding their decisions to stay and leave their domains behind. Once again, they coexisted. The demon stayed near the humans, making many friends and many allies. The god stayed away, isolated as he built grand fortresses and creatures of old.

They were content with how they were. But it seemed that Fate had different plans. They kept running into each other. Getting forced into situations where they would need to communicate or even work together.

It would have been fine, if it weren't for the fact that their personalities weren't completely opposite.

The demon was mischievous, deceitful, and undeniably kindhearted. He liked playing pranks and saying things he didn't mean. He liked giving gifts and stealing things. He laughs at your misfortune but helps you recover. He contradicted himself so much that it made him unbearable to be around for someone like the god.

On the other hand, the god was a workaholic, a perfectionist, and he liked to be straightforward. He had no time for the demon's antics. He had no time for fun. He just had no time for friends. He had so much to do. Which made him the perfect target for the demon, who only wanted to be helpful to everyone. And clearly, the god needed help to relax.

It was funny at first. To see the god constantly trying to shake the demon out of his tail while it clung on stubbornly.

Then it became concerning, when the god started to actively try to kill the demon. Philza was convinced the God of Life hated the Demon King. And why wouldn't he be? When it was almost a manthra for the god to mutter how much he hated the demon whenever they saw each other.

But then it became weird, when the god allowed the demon to help with his precious builds. It became weirder when the demon stopped being mischievous whenever the god tells him to (as temporary as those moments may be).

The final nail was hammered when the god let his child– the first genuine connection he's ever made with a mortal– be left alone with the demon he swore he hated with his life. To say that Philza was confused was an understatement.

The screams of hate and the loud bickering never stopped. The endless string of pranks and retaliation remained the same. But they seemed to… trust each other, somehow? And Philza wasn't even sure if they were aware of it. At least not the god.

So Philza started to look closer. To see what changed over the years. That's when he saw what he missed. Because what are two people who had known each other for literal eons other than friends?

They were two sides of the same coin. Completely different, yet they are also the same. They complement each other, they wouldn't be themselves if they were not with each other. Yet they can never face the same way.

The God of Life was never truly alone with the Demon King around, and the Demon King was never truly lonely for he was not the only immortal in the world.

It was a strange symbiotic relationship. Far too complicated for Philza to explain. And that didn't even include the part where the god had a friend who–

"Just so we're clear, we're talking about Uncle Bad and Uncle Foolish, right?"

Philza stopped his rambling to blink at Chayanne, he honestly thought he was asleep by now. "Uh– I don't know where you got that idea from, but we're not. This is not about them. Not at all." He answered, cursing his inability to lie effectively.

Tallulah giggled from her bed. "Abuelito is so silly, of course we're talking about Tio Bad and Tio Foolish!"

"Okay… can you tell Aubuelito why that is, then?" He asked, a small smile making its way to his mouth.

"Because they act exactly the same!" Chayanne exclaimed, looking a lot less sleepy than when the story started.

Tallulah nodded in agreement. "Yeah! I was with them the other day with Papi Wilbur and they were arguing because–"

"Okay!" Philza clapped his hands with a chuckle. "I think that's enough stories for tonight. Bedtime now, close your eyes and go to sleep."

Chayanne and Tallulah whined.

"But Dadddd!"

"The story's not done yet, Abuelito!"

Philza shook his head as he bent over to blow off the candles. He then kissed the kids goodnight, ignoring their protests and walked over to the door.

"Alright, goodnight, little ones. And hey, if you're good eggs tomorrow, I might tell you the rest of it." He said with a wink as he closed it gently, smiling as he heard the answering 'Okay! We'll be good, we promise!"

Lost You–2

Genre: Thriller–Romantic

Pairing: Marvel Loki x Reader

Overview: As soon as Loki acknowledges the arrival of Thanos, the first thing in his mind was to secure the precious possession, his wife Y/n. The things however don't work out as per the expectations. Would the love of theirs survive after the predicted death of Loki? Did he survived? How?

Part 1:

He was here

Thanos,

To take the tesseract,

To engulf them all in his cruel tactical plan,

Thanos was here,

To initiate the war.

To kill them all

Before proceeding to take further actions, Loki teleported his way to the chamber he and y/n shared to examine Y/n's security, to bound her safely in the room. Opening the door, he was met with the beautiful serenity of his wife.

She sat comfortably on the couch, with her back arched upon the cushioned backboard, her swollen feet were kept on the empty table to seek some rest from the constant uneasiness caused due to pregnancy, on her lap were the remainder of the food packages Loki kept for her, the swollen belly of hers was being caressed softly by her hand, a mild serene smile plastered on her face.

Loki's heart fluttered from the sight of Y/n who, no matter what, would never leave his side. He can't imagine how could anyone go through these severe situations and that too during pregnancy and not uttering a word for complain.

All the knowledge he acquired through the books indicated the increased level of anxiousness in the lady but he incredibly admired how his wife handled the toughest of the hard situations this smoothly. He has never heard a single complain from her side and he'll not be wrong to admit him been yearning for her to show her mood swings out rather than complying them herself.

He didn't knew what he did to deserve such a beautiful, talented, fierce socceress as his wife and the mother of his child. He wondered how witty would their offspring be

Noticing him, Y/n looked up, eyebrows furrowed the slightest "What's wrong?" She asked right away. No matter how hard Loki tried to convince his expression, she always picks right on him. "Nothing darling, just a minor velocity change of the ship. Stay here until it's practicing normal speed." He tried to lie swiftly, not being the God of Mischief for nothing. Standing up, she quirked her eyebrows, clearly annoyed with her husband lying to her.

"Loki, you brought tesseract with you." She quietly spoke, advancing to him for a clear conversation, placing a hand on her womb, as if supporting herself against the pain. Loki wanted nothing other than his urge to hug her and soothe her pain, only if the circumstances granted him so.

"What do you mean darling?" He tried to sound as confident as he can, but standing before her to lie wasn't any easily appealing task, his insides were rippling with anxiety. He didn't had much time, he has to secure her room and has to face Thanos.

"Lie as much you want, husband" she said weakly annoyed, turning around. She never appreciated him lying to her, it's always when she grasps his lies within a second of him using his silver tongue, but that always leads her being insecurely disappointed. Loki knows perfectly how hurt she gets when he, of all, isn't honest to her. It truly breaks Loki's heart just as much to lie to her.

"Make sure he'll never be around."she added quietly before ascending towards the washroom, leaving Loki speechless.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Anxiety was coursing through his veins, mind running through several scenarios to tact them all out the reach of Thanos. His brain was throbbing with unexplainable intensity, his heart beating at such a pace he never it is capable of.

Thor's head was held captive by the enormous hand of Thanos. His witchy companion was speaking something regarding mercy they were doing on the Asgardians but Loki wasn't keeping up with any word, desperately running through the tricks he could use at the situation.

"– I'm sure you have a preference." Thanos said, smiling devilishly.

"Oh I do, kill him." Loki said, trying to sound as nonchalant as he could. Thanos's grip on his brother's head tightened as such that Thor seemed on the urge of bursting through his skull, his loud whimpers echoing through the destroyed walls of the room.

"Alright, stop." Loki bellowed.

An uncomfortably fuzzy blanket seemed to cover his brain, as if he wasn't controlling it, someone else was in control of him. Loki is known to these tricks and henceforth is completely aware to button the feelings.

Drawing a dagger at his side, conceiving it from as many eyes as he may, he advanced to Thanos, conjuring the glowing, icy blue tesseract in his hands. Thanos's gaze seemed to penetrate Loki's. He knew well the Mischief God, and which was what scared Loki.

With a swift motion, Loki swayed his dagger up at Thanos's neck utilising all the might he could afford at such unforeseen circumstance. His heart was caught in his mouth, skipped several beats once he felt his wrist stopping mere inch away from its target. Noting the situation briefly, with a jerk his insides warned him about the regretful stunt he had done, a large, beefy, uncomfortable lump seeped to block his oesophagus.

His hand was bound to stop in its movement of intended murder of a Titan with a small dagger, with the seidr of the infinity stone. Not a moment he had to process himself being pulled up by Thanos's big purple hand, wrapped around Loki's neck tightly, coiling around his neck tighter with every fraction of a second passing. Loki's vision started blurring out, the surroundings started to become more and more foggy, with a dizzying nausea coiling inside, his senses were going numb and before blacking out completely, the last thing that crossed the barrier of his numbness was a sharp stinging pain in his lower abdomen.

It's around 12 and yeah I wasn't able to draft this more appropriately. Let me know if you want another sequel.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Part 3:

P.S. : consider me as your friend and you may always talk to me even if you're not suffering from depression and anxiousness, certain things are even worse.

I've been considered confidential hooman whole a lot. I won't judge.

Anyways, 3rd part is out!!!

-----

Like, i wanted to end with the ''good to war'' and ''i fear what ive begun'' but thats not in the stars, alas. I should say, I happen to collect a lot of quotes from books/movies/series so thats why it keeps saying ''from house of the dragon'' a dozen times over, xD.

[thestormthatrises]

Hey, #Moshang Nation, do you guys ever think about MBJ never actually having seen SQH actually, honest to God, cry?

Like, he thinks he has. Lord knows he's heard the man whine enough and seen him scrunch up his face as if he were actually crying but... SQH'S character sheet maxed out the acting category. He tends to do it for some sympathy or leniency. It's all cold and calculated.

Even when in pain. Even when with LGJ. Even when leaving MBJ... His eyes watered, there was pain, such clear tangible hurt just--everywhere. But no crying. Just suffering, despair and resolve. The inevitable acceptance of whatever tragedy that has come.

SQH has long since understood that crying, for real crying, is a worthless venture for people like him. He learned early on, when he was just a kid. He would get hurt, or scared, or lonely and he would cry out for his parents for help, for comfort, for love and no one would come

He would cry and get scolded for crying. 'Be a man' they'd say. 'What did you do this time?' they'd accuse. 'Grow up.' was a common command. 'Good boys don't cry.' Was always the last reminder before they left him again

He made the mistake 01 time to cry in front of his peers, during his first life.

He made a point of never doing it a second time in his next one. The humiliation of laying yourself bare and then being ridiculed for the rest of his middle school years was enough for one lifetime

So he didn't cry. I mean, he did... When he was alone and the sadness and the pain and the loneliness became too much and he just needed a second. A millisecond. Just to let it out. Just to feel.

But he didn't let anyone else see him do it.

He wishes he could cut off his tear glands. They do him no favors. They make him weaker than he already is. Uglier than he already is. He hates crying so much. He hates how he feels when he does cry. He wishes he would never have to actually cry again.

MBJ doesn't know the difference between SQH'S fake crying and his actual, genuine sobs until they reach the point of their relationship that they're almost christening whatever it is they have as "dating couple" and SQH had locked himself in his room to stress cry

And it's not even about the changing of status. It's just this ball of negative emotions, the self loathing, the self doubt, the stress about if it's the right decision or not to change the good thing they have-- it's the fear of losing MBJ. It's about not being good enough

So, he's in his room and he's just sobbing. His whole body is crying, shaking, quivering under the might of his emotions. His face ia disgusting and raw and pained. He's holding onto his mantra, the one he would repeat when his parents would tear him down for not being the Perfect child; or would blame him for them not being a family; or would point out how useless he was.

"I did my best...! I was only doing my best--!"

And there MBJ is, witnessing this break down, trying to figure out what happened and who he's going to have to kill for doing... This!!! To *his* Qinghua!!

But then, Qinghua let's out this very pathetic whimper and calls out for him, for MBJ--

He doesn't call to gods for help, for ascended immortals. Hell, he doesn't even call out for his mother. No, he calls out for the only one that's been a true safe haven for all these years, for rock, his comfort character. The one he loves most And MBJ can't just ignore that.

ASFGHJFBBKJH I don't know where to go with this but XD I just want MBJ scooping SQH and letting him cry and whispering to him "I know you did your best. You did a good job. You are enough"
