A possibility we don’t talk about enough: Laufey loved Loki (& didn’t actually abandon him) and Odin (via centuries of grooming) tricked Loki into killing his own father for him.

#eeriemirage; a dependent blog for calamityshq.
( go min si, cis woman, she/her ) PARK YEJI : the thirty year old resident that's been around the CRESCENT APARTMENTS for two months. when the infected swarmed the streets the first night, YEJI really proved how resourceful + courageous they were. however, many would argue that they can also be quite obsessive + unpredictable. five years has passed since their old life ended and the new one began, developing skills that have helped them become a MEDICAL STUDENT / NURSE within their group. it makes sense to see them thriving at the job because of their vast knowledge of drugs + glock 17.
𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙨 …
name. park yeji. nicknames. yeji, crayji (behind her back ). age. thirty. gender, pronouns. ciswoman, she / her. dob. 6th of june. pob. jeju island, south korea. sexuality. pan romantic + sexual. role. medical / nursing student. weapon of choice. sweet words, brainwashing:) but otherwise glock 17 with three bullets left.
𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙨 …
height. 165 cm ( 5'4 ). hair style. black, pint - straight hair. length depends on arc ! eyes. brown, appear black in certain light. tattoos. none. piercings. standard lobes, doesn’t wear them. fc. go minsi.
𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮 …
mother. hwayoung ( presumed dead ). father. unknown. siblings. only - child.
𝘣𝘪𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘺 … (tw of something, not sure what, ask to tag !)
yeji was born to a single mother in jeju island, south korea. her mother has always been a mess and yeji’s birth didn’t evoke any kind of a change in character.
when she was three, they moved to busan with her mother’s new boyfriend — a leech of a man who liked to drink and gamble and cheat, yet hwayoung’s low self - esteem made her stay & endure whatever he came up with. to be fair, they matched each other’s crazy just the right amount and became the sample of a perfect relationship for yeji.
their turbulent relationship lasted for eight years until one fateful night their apartment’s front door was kicked down by masked men who trashed & stole their things and dragged her mother’s boyfriend away. yeji had never seen him again, and later, learnt that he has been mercilessly tortured and murdered for owing a lot of money to a lot of very dangerous people.
anyway, life went on. it certainly did for yeji, always a quiet child, the observer, the outsider — never inside, always outside — she had a hard time making friends anywhere they moved to. too weird, too peculiar, too creepy — the kids said, pointing and whispering. she, hurt and angry, in turn dreamt of their demise that never came. instead bitterness nestled into her insides.
she runs away from home at 17, but is it really running away when no one’s looking for you? yet, she, finally, finds her people — a group she fits in. they’re weird and eccentric and peculiar just like her, but in a cool way, in a way that other ordinary people look up to and follow. the whole ordeal is cult-y, though no one ever says it outloud.
they teach her things she wouldn’t learn elsewhere, or so they say, about medicine and drugs and their effects on human’s body and under their orders, she sells them on the shadow market. though, she also learns other languages, like english and mandarin, which she masters in no time.
yeji returns home a day after her 26th birthday. she goes back to school, gets her high school diploma and either by sheer luck, or other powerful force, gets accepted into university majoring in nursing. her goal is to work in a nursing home - being the one in charge, people needing her more than she needs them for once.
she’s on an internship in san francisco the day the world ends. she join a group after group, but they always crumble, always perish. then she becomes a loner, wandering and wondering if this doom is not a sign of something else, something otherworldly. yeji gets absorbed by these thoughts, delusional.
the apartment complex takes her in — perhaps for her medical skills or her words coated in honey or both — and her ‘visions’ as she likes to call them, speak to her more often.
tldr; yeji is a disturbed young woman who believes in the superiority of the zombs, thinks of them as gods, yet more and more people are starting to turn to her — because people, in every situation, need something to believe in.:)

A Rachel simp too why am I even surprised
Going to assume this is about Rachel Duncan. Anyone who's been around when I go to bat for Merula knows what's coming next. To the uninitiated, brace yourselves. Unabashed Rachel defense incoming.
Now I admit, she's done horrible things. Like when she stole Beth's identity. Or when she stood by and watched her friend suffocate as punishment for a crime she did not commit. Like when she shot Helena in the chest. Like when she murdered a ton of her own sisters on the orders of the Prolethians. Or even the time she put a pencil in Rachel's brain.
...Do you see my point?
The Sisters pretty much all do terrible things at some point during the show. (Except Cosima, she is a cinnamon roll and Delphine does not deserve her. I said what I said.) You can argue that Rachel's crimes are more numerous than the other clones, but that's probably because she's on the other side of the conflict, and we're seeing things from the perspective of the main heroes. I know, I know, Neolution is evil, and after all, it was Rachel's choice to join them. Oh wait, no it wasn't. Not at all. She was raised by them. They are a cult, and Season 5 spells this out about directly. Rachel frequently shows the same tendency as most Neolutionists to put their loyalty to "science" (read: eugenics) above human life. But that's because, again, she was indoctrinated as a child and brainwashed. Which resulted in her dealing with her situation in the worst way possible.
From a young age, she was taught to see herself as a string of numbers. As a subject. As property. The older she got, the clearer that was made to her. Rachel may be power-hungry, but her lust for power is nothing more than a desire for autonomy. In her mind, it's the only way forward. Despite being "Pro-Clone" she has not been raised without knowing human compassion. It's worse than that. She was given a taste of it with her parents (who are both terrible people but I could make a full post about each of them so let's stay on topic) before being taken by Neolution where she was forced to adapt if she wanted to survive. But everyone she knew or cared about, or was even allied with, betrayed her at some point.
Ethan Duncan, her father, took his own life and made her watch. His last words? "You don't deserve me anymore." Yeah, all kinds of fuck him. Aldous Leekie, who she once trusted enough that she considered him a father figure, constantly went behind her back and it was during one of his examinations that he refused to share her results and told her "You're not exempt from the experiment." Susan abandoned her when she was little, gave her to Neolution, and even when they were reunited, the way she treated her was despicable. It was textbook emotional abuse. I know I'm supposed to think of Rachel as the villain when she stabs Susan, but this act immediately followed the line "I regret creating you." She also stabbed Sarah in the leg in the same scene but...again, Sarah put a pencil in her brain. I'd say they're even. Oh, then there was Delphine, who tortured Rachel for information when she could barely speak. (This is unrelated but. Fuck Delphine. She is such a creep.) Let's not forget Westmoreland, who took advantage of her, lied to her, all while still objectifying her as property and spying on her through the eye-cam. The only person Rachel cared about who didn't stab her in the back? Kira. Because of this, I refuse to believe Rachel ever wanted Kira hurt or would have let it happen on her watch.
I still don't see how the word "simp" applies here but...y'know what, screw it. I'd have coffee with her. She'd probably stab me in the neck with an icepick in the middle of the night, but I'd still have coffee with her. Just consider me a full Rachel Duncan simp. Hey, as long as we're talking about her dating life, Ferdinand is a fucking creep who does not love her at all, he's just got some disturbing obsession with her that is possessive and violent. ("Who's a dirty clone" made me want to hurl, and I only wish Delphine hadn't stopped Sarah from finishing him off.) His obsession includes strangling Rachel, and pretending that Mika is Rachel while he's murdering her, in some sick, twisted form of venting his aggression at Rachel. It is messed up and I despise Ferdinand. But Rachel genuinely thinks that he is the only person who ever loved her and I just want to scream. No. No no no.
I'm still mad that Rachel was barred from Clone Club when all was said and done. It goes against the entire spirit of what Clone Club was supposed to be about, especially since they still let Helena be a part of it back in Season 2, despite her crimes. The gang would never have defeated Neolution without Rachel's help. She rescued Kira, betrayed Westmoreland and put a huge target on her back in the process. For crying out loud, she cut out her own eye to stop him from monitoring her. She betrayed Ferdinand (The "only person who ever loved her," don't forget) and warned Siobhan when he survived. She provided information on all of the other clones. And excuse me, after all that, Felix just gets to unilaterally decide that she can't come in? Screw that, why aren't the actual Sisters consulted? Or Kira? I feel like this should be put to a vote at the very least. I know Sarah will never forgive Rachel, but Rachel seems to have put the whole pencil incident behind her, so...that kind of makes her the bigger person here, just saying. Even if the writers wanted Rachel to go her own way, they didn't have to Felix slam the door in her face before she'd even knocked.
Rachel may be a villain, but that's because she's a victim of her circumstances. She didn't ask to be a clone, she didn't ask to be raised by her creators and groomed to suppress any empathetic urges. Her upbringing turned her into some strange, contradictory blend of slave and slave master, and it probably gave her a boatload of identity issues and self esteem issues. It took time for her to figure all of that out, and considering that she was constantly under the surveillance of Neolution, that's totally understandable. She didn't have any counter-examples apart from Sarah's gang, who were framed as enemies from the moment they met. Just consider for a moment, that Rachel was subjected to the fate that Sarah fought tooth and nail to protect Kira from. But no, Rachel had to live that life. But above all...she suffered for her crimes. She suffered so much. She spent two entire seasons learning to speak and walk again. She had to watch her father kill himself. Sarah and the others were willing to open their hearts to Helena, so why not Rachel?

Dropping random facts about my trollstuck AU on my silly little sideblog while the other people involved in it are asleep B]
(because I might come to my senses and delete this later)
So you've got Hal, see, and he's a fuchsiablood, so he's a seadweller
Yeah this mf wears a wetsuit everywhere (all the easier to clean the blood off of amirite)
Short for a fuchsiablood his age but like. Still over 6 feet tall (BEFORE HIS ADULT MOLT! He's gonna be like 11 feet tall after it :,) because even if I can't be absurdly tall he can)
Since """"biological sex"""" is even less of a thing for trolls than for humans, one could argue that it doesn't make sense for him to be trans in the first place since theoretically gender is arbitrary and every troll is inherently trans and intersex therefore none of them are, but he's still trans Because I Said So
Adding on to that, since he's a royalblood (and according to the wiki they're all female) everyone probably just went 'wait, MALE?????' and so he probably had The Trans Experience™ of being frequently misgendered by strangers. At least before he grew to notoriety
bitch why does misgendered have the red squiggly line under it it's a real fucking word
*clears throat* ANYWAYS
Trolls have a bunch of cat behaviors also Because I Said So (I'm a catboy ok what did you expect). Like purring and shit
Similarly, there's a like. Biological response (I guess? I'm bullshitting here. It's pheromonal or some shit idk) to keep moirails from murdering each other when one is in a capital-r Rage (or even just regular pissed and murdery) and the other is within Murdering Distance (This is canon compliant as far as I know)
Hal literally stole someone's bones one time it's genuinely established canon (I'm not even kidding he telekinetically ripped out their fucking bones one at a time. He was very, VERY pissed and, well, in a Rage)
He changed his typing quirk at some point to match his moirail's more closely
}It used t() l()()k s()mething like this, if I re((all ((()rre((tly{
(Well. That's the in-universe reason. Really it was annoying to read so I changed it)
This AU has been rotating slowly in the back of my mind for quite some time so the Ye Olde typing quirk was actually a thing I came up with months ago in real time and the changing it thing was more recent
I'm brainrotting send help
Hal can't kill the condesce for. Normal reasons (*coughs into my fist* brainwashing actually but shh.)
Yeah it’s a whole thing
There’s also the whole. Helming thing
I am SOOO normal about mind fuckery *kicking my feet and giggling*
Anyways. Hal's weapon of choice is a naginata rather than a katana because something something fish->spear->weeb
Yeah sure he PREFERS to fight with telekinesis generally but "there's something so satisfying about stabbing people y'know???" (for legal reasons this is a joke I have never stabbed anyone)
He would do anything for his moirail tbh (this comes up often. It... causes problems down the line. The sheer devotion of this man smh.... it's also due to Normal Reasons btw)
why am I being vague about who his moirail is the only people who might see this post already know it's just Dirk :\
fuck it we ball. *commits to the bit*
who am I even talking to here I've addressed statements toward a General Audience but also don't intend for random people to see this
uhhhhh anyways. one eye is fuchsia the other is good ol' #e00707
(I project on to this mf SO MUCH- like I even fuckin realized his relationship with the condesce could be seen as an allegory for my relationship with my father and the trauma bonding wait why I am talking about this on the World Wide Web jegus grist)
uhhh uhh anyways he's in a kismesissitude with Jake
I have a shipping chart of this actually it's titled "THE POLYCULE"
It's on paper but it looks something like this (the other two alpha kids are omitted):
Yeah
he's a femboy
I typically use the term 'boi' to refer to him yes this is deliberate and not just Ha Ha Funneeee Meme
He's absolutely just. Gender goals.
though it's unorthodox for the higher-blooded moirail in a moirallegiance to do, he wears lots of accessories of his moirail's blood color because Fuck The Hemospectrum
This doesn't stop him from showering his moirail in gifts of clothes and jewelry of his own blood color tho. Probably a troll thing tbh
There are So Many things where I'm just like 'ha ha troll instinct' I should probably write down all the random shit that is canonically (in this AU anyway) just A Troll Thing.
A solid 80% of the things Hal does are 'to piss off condy'
gotDAMN do I want to rp right now. I want to like. Go onto pesterchum and inflict his presence onto people. maybe he can bond with some random-ass Dirk over how much they both hate the condesce
is the fact that she's just normal HIC a plot hole? lil bit
it's technically a no-sburb/sgrub AU but in a 'they don't play the game' way. my idea is that maybe Something got fucked up with the coding of the game and now it's a Time problem because the players exist, but they don't end up playing the game, despite needing to in order to exist in the first place idk I'll figure that out later
Aaaaaaaanyways. post-crash, Hal might change his trolltag I haven't decided yet

Things Adrien will never know since he’s not allowed to find out his father’s Hawkmoth
That Gabriel has purposely gone out of his way to upset Adrien’s friends via unfairly punishing him/limiting his freedom solely so he could have an Akuma to use (”Bubbler” and “Chat Blanc”)
That Gabriel once tricked him into believing he had upset his father so he could akumatize himself and keep him and Ladybug from realizing his real identity (”Collector”)
That after akumatizing Gorilla (“Gorizilla”), that he purposely put Adrien’s life in danger and had him thrown from on top a building just so he could find out if he was actually Chat Noir or not (and only changed his mind after Adrien had been thrown and it looked like he wasn’t about to transform to save himself)
Had noticed via his akuma butterflies when Adrien is upset/depressed but did nothing about it
Openly threatened his cousin (Like, feel how you want about Felix, Gabriel still threatened a child)
Has had Paris nearly flooded/burned down/deleted/eeby-deebied/brainwashed/zombie invaded several times while Adrien was outside the house with no idea if he had gotten/might get caught up in the attack (and not seeming to care)
That the few time he did arrange for Adrien to not be around when he was planning something (NY and Shanghai specials, “Risk”, etc.), it was specifically so he could hurt his friends, and usually done at Adrien’s own expense
That Gabriel almost caused WW3 by threatening the world with nukes (NY special)
That his father murdered someone(Or at least had their murder arranged via a gang hit) (Shanghai special)
That Nathalie’s health dove into the negatives specifically because she was helping him with his supervillainy (Yeah, she chose to become Mayura and everything, but this is still someone Adrien considers family here)
Everything about the Grimoire
Went out of his way to manipulate Chloe in “Heart Hunter” (Again, feel however you want, Gabe still purposely made it so Chloe would think Ladybug didn’t want her so he could get her on his side more easily)
Purposely put Lila and him together so she could “keep an eye on him” at his behest
Was the one who instigated Lila into enacting her plan in “Ladybug”, which ended up with Marinette expelled, and all because he considered her a “bad influence” on Adrien
Had twice Akumatized Adrien after he found out about him being Hawkmoth and his mother’s actual fate, just so he could get Ladybug’s miraculous (“Chat Blanc” and “Ephemeral”), which led to the world ending and everyone being dead in one of these scenarios
Has been magically manipulating him into obeying his will (If Senti!Adrien proves to be canon)
Made a deal with Felix to get all the Miraculous the latter stole ( “Strikeback”)
Deliberately chose to focus on stealing the Miraculous instead of taking the opportunity given to him to save his mother and Nathalie from their respective ailments (“Evolution”)
Purposely had him Cataclysm his arm, and near risking making his son a murderer/orphan (“Destruction”)
Kept the Kwamis he stole/kidnapped in cages and called them “slaves”
That the whole “Alliance Ring” nonsense was specifically to help mask his activities as Hawkmoth
And that he mainly just cares about his rivalry with Ladybug now.

I'm just thinking about what you've said in the past about Zuko's morals in The Southern Raiders and what bugs me the most is that Zuko could have easily been Yon Rha. Yon Rha's big sin, as far as Zuko knows when he makes his proposal (before Katara tells him the whole story), was raiding the Southern Water Tribe in a manner which lead to someone's death, and Zuko raided both Kyoshi Island and the Southern Water Tribe. Zuko would be an acceptable target for vengeance under his own standards.
:'D very fair point of view, Anon. I've always focused on another angle with this particular problem, namely the fact that Zuko's traumatic Agni Kai happens because he was trying to defend soldiers from being used as bait, slain in battle as though their lives were meaningless... and then he's offering Katara his assistance with killing a soldier if that's the only way to become her friend. There's such a profound incompatibility between both ideas, such a massive rift in reasoning, that I can't help but wonder if Ozai, intentionally or not, actually taught Zuko through their Agni Kai that the lives of their people aren't worth anything after all.
In general, that episode's plot is just... very questionable. I understand these kids are jaded, they've seen pleeenty of ugly stuff and even done some ugly stuff themselves, but the core of the problem with Zuko, back in the day, was that his violent pursuit of the Avatar caused lots of trouble and nobody liked him because he was being a selfish ass who wanted to fulfill the Fire Lord's orders at all costs :'D so... as blind as Katara may be over anything to do with Kya, it baffles me that neither Sokka nor Aang would step up to tell Zuko that this sort of ridiculous reasoning, impulsive behavior and willingness to resort to violence is EXACTLY what made him an asshole during the months he chased them, and that changing sides without changing those violent impulses doesn't amount to jackshit. I'd honestly prefer it if Katara were the one to tell him as much, because then she'd have the bonus of telling Zuko: "That's funny, because this sort of BS is precisely why I can't trust you!" and Zuko would be at an even bigger loss than before :'D but of course, when emotions are involved, Katara loses sight of reality and common sense, it's true...
Looking at it the way you do, just imagine if Yon Rha had told Katara "Oh. Sorry. Nice to see you again!" the way Zuko does with Suki :'D I'm pretty sure she would've actually killed the guy without even hesitating.
It's not to say that Zuko has objectively murdered anyone with the particular cruelty Yon Rha killed Kya: as far as we know, he didn't. We do know, however, that he's imprisoned people in nightmarish conditions (something even his sister cannot be said to have done), as he does in LOK, conditions bad enough that one of those prisoners (who, arguably, wasn't in the worst of conditions) said he'd rather die than return to that imprisonment. So, however "deserved" the Red Lotus's imprisonment might have been, dehydrating a waterbender and freezing a firebender for well over a decade sounds like one hell of an act of cruelty, which says he's perfectly capable of cruelty, all the same as Yon Rha was, and Zuko can't even say he's following someone's orders: he's the one who chooses to do this, plain and simple. So cruelty is NOT beyond Zuko. He can be harsh and nasty whenever it suits him. Despite what he'd have the audience believe, he isn't truly the poster child of peace and kindness :')
As you've said, Zuko caused lots of damage with his careless actions back in Book 1, actions that could have certainly cost lives if this show had been written to be grittier and darker than it was.
As a careless, casual example, here's the typical, boring old trope of "there's a kid in danger and the hero swoops in to save them!" (and there's poor Sokka on the background too ;_;). That ship just comes into shore, breaks all the ice it cares to, and it could have cost at least the two lives of those in the scene here (and who knows how many more that we aren't seeing). Is this not the same as attacking someone deliberately, with killer intent? Sure, it's not, but the ultimate outcome would be the same: someone's died, and it's your fault. And if you're a good person, you would feel bad about it. In fact, you might not even be able to think of yourself as a good person if anyone's death can be pinned on you.
Again, we don't know for sure that his actions cost any lives, but that they could have speaks for itself. That he was once part of the Fire Nation killer machine, that he was a tool to his father (even if not one he particularly cared for), should have made him all the more willing to understand that soldiers are as brainwashed as he was. No, this isn't to defend Yon Rha by any means, he was indeed a piece of shit... but Zuko doesn't even wait to meet him to confirm this. He's ready to help Katara kill a guy who, for all he knows, could have spent his whole life repenting for his actions (yes, we know that's not the case, but if the show had wanted to give us more nuance in the Fire Nation army, it could have been). Zuko doesn't even hesitate, and he even eggs on Katara until she finally decides she's not going to do it -- then he proceeds to badger Aang non-stop about how he MUST kill Ozai, funny how that goes. Which allows the interpretation that Zuko didn't learn anything at all from the Southern Raiders adventure.
In the end, if Zuko's actions cost any lives whatsoever (like, I don't know, maybe lives of the people whose food he stole in the Earth Kingdom (: what, me still being salty about this in the year of 2021? Noooo waaaaay...), you're quite right to say that it'd be fine, as far as his own philosophies are concerned, for Zuko to be executed by the injured party. It'd only be fair, right? Yet I guess that's the beauty of Zuko being Zuko: fairness isn't part of it. Justice? I don't think he's actually familiar with the concept. His sister made lots of mistakes, same as he did, but has he attempted to help her find her way, same as he was helped? Has he given her another chance? The answer is nope. Chit Sang is a convicted murderer who claims he didn't do the crime he was put in jail for: Zuko doesn't even bother asking any questions about who he is, or trying to get to the bottom of this problem. He's fine with getting the guy out of prison without first confirming whether his story checks out or not. Even back in The Blue Spirit, when he was "under" Ozai's thumb, and Ozai's priorities should have been his own, he decides that it's more important for him to capture Aang himself, and somehow the show spins that situation into "hey, Zuko's not that bad :>" when... everyone knows he's not setting him free out of any selflessness on his part, in fact, it's the entire opposite.
So yeah, more sketchy Zuko things that remain unresolved, unaddressed and go ignored all the time. Again, things that don't make much sense with the character he's supposed to be. And as usual, it's stuff we're supposed to shrug off or make a thousand excuses for in order to always find a way to see Zuko as a perfectly good person, when, as I've said before, being good takes efforts Zuko often didn't bother making, not before his "change of heart", not afterwards either.
#anon#welp I guess my Zuko posts have been doin' the rounds#:'D#and no they never are about the things I like about him#... which...#... do I like anything about him?#O_O#well that answers that LOL

(If you think the bats wouldn't give them codenames to talk about their usual child selves I'm sorry to tell you you're wrong. They would all have codenames to safely talk about each other without revealing identities.) (Yes this also includes the batkids who are too young or have no interest in vigilante work like Alina or Kiki or whoever else in the timeline the AU(s) take place in lol)
*ALSO sometimes included are Talons (Some might be familiar from some of my prompts) though that depends on the AU and timeline and if I'm including Court of the Owls stuff or not lol. (Most are they/them until they figure out their own identities because no one wants to just call them it.)
River Talon: 25 yrs old?

Blade Talon: 23 yrs old?
Buddy Talon: 15 yrs old?
Sky Talon: 20 yrs old?
Wolf Talon: 18 yrs old?
Onyx Talon: 21 yrs old?
Data Talon: 27 yrs old?
*They got their nicknames/chose names based off of things they like. And yes there's question marks on their ages because no one really knows, what with the whole forced hibernation undead thing
Tell me about the Colony+ AU
So colony+ is technically a series of AUs for my existing AUs. And the other name for it is pretty self explanatory: Full Colony.
It's a, what if *insert AU* but it was all the batfam from every series included.
So for an example I'm going to put forth my main Cryptid Batfam AU. In it the bats included are Bruce, Alfred, Kate, Barbara, Dick, Cass, Jason, Stephanie, Tim, Duke, Damian & Jarro. 12 people.
In a full colony AU, it'd be at least 60, with Bruce having almost 40 kids alone without including things like unnamed clones. There's also the ColonyX AUs of the Colony+ which is the same, just also includes crossovers like Danny Phantom, Marvel, or whatever else.
Does that make sense?
#full colony#batman au#batman#batfamily#batfam#cryptid batfam#cryptid batfamily#cryptid batman#colony+ au#what's out there au#but seriously if yall are interested I can put forth my colony X list to lol

I am indigenous. It is Canada Day. I will not be celebrating. You shouldn't either.
They took my gran from her family, young. They tried to take them as young as possible so that they wouldn't remember home. People tried to hide their kids- but they were murdered for it by the Indian agents. They would burn down houses they suspected had children hidden inside. They took my gran, beat her until she spoke English, abused her for years, and then when she was a teenager and had assimilated efficiently they sent her "home". Except, those kids never really could go home. They didn't speak the language. They hadn't seen their parents in years. Some of them didn't know where home was anymore. They didn't share the culture anymore. They were made to believe that their very blood was tainted. Dirty. They were told they were savages- a word thats casually used today like its no big deal. So like most of the kids who managed to survive the starvation, beatings and sexual abuse - my gran went to the city to try to live the life of a white woman. But no amount of beating and brainwashing would make her less brown. She wanted to shed herself of being an ///Indian. At the time, the easiest way to shed her legal status and be seen as a person and citizen, was to marry a white man. So that's what she did. She bore his children. She didn't tell them their history, and hoped they would pass as white. She didn't know how to care for them, the only thing close to a parent she could remember were the nuns and priests who abused her. Abuse is a cycle. She never had a chance to raise her children in a healthy way, because she wasn't healthy. One night when my father was a teenager, she just left. She couldn't do it anymore. I dont know what she was looking for but I hope she found it.
My father, who hated his mother for the ways she had been broken and in turn broke him, became the first generation removed from residential school, but still effected by it. He moved far away from his ancestral lands. He turned to drugs to cope with his serious mental illness, including PTSD. He got my white mother pregnant when they were teenagers- and after less than a year of trying to raise a child with no living example of how to do that right, he left us. He's spent his whole life floating around trying to find home again. He probably never will.
I was raised without my culture, without our stories, without our language. Residential school worked on my family. I also grew up with mental illness. Parental abuse and neglect. I also turned to drugs. I was expelled from high-school. I was even homeless for awhile. Luckilly, I was found by a school for indigenous kids - run out of our local friendship center, by indigenous people. There was only 24 students. They taught us about our culture. Made sure we had food. We had lunch every day with elders from our comunities who told us stories from our ancestors that would have died with them otherwise. I clawed my way back into the culture that was stolen from me. I learned to make drums. I learned which herbs to make into tea to help my cramps. I felt care, and community - for the first time. I found home again. A school for indigenous children run by white folks ruined my family - and coming full circle, it was a school for indigenous children run by indigenous people who put me back together again.
In 2008, when I was 18, I sat in a room with dozens of survivors as they listened to then primeinister Steven Harper - apologize to survivors of residential schools. I cried with them. I listened to the stories they told. I remember them talking about the mass graves, ans how meaningless the apology was, when we still had stolen children who hadn't come home yet.
Not just the bones and bodies buried at the schools - but every child whose sense of home had been stolen. Every child forced into fostercare. Every child that should have been raised traditionally but whose parents couldn't remember how. Every queer child whose parents cast them out due to the religion of our abusers. Every "adopted" child of the 60's scoop. Every woman and man who wanted children but who were forcibly sterilized by the governments eugenics program. Every missing and murdered indigenous woman. Every mixed child whose parents were afraid to let them be indigenous in a country where that is inherently dangerous.
We'll start with the bones, so that the spirits of those lost children can find peace at home with their people. But I will not celebrate 'Canada Day' again, until every stolen child is returned home. This land is OUR home, and we deserve to feel at home on it. I ended up graduating with honors, and a three month old baby boy who I have raised with as much culture as I could claw back. He's 11 now. I homeschool him. We smudge together, grow herbs, and play our drums - and he knows that home will always be right next to me, and no one can take that from him. It took my family over 60 years to get home again, after residential school. And we're the lucky ones.
Don't celebrate Canada Day, until every child they stole, is home again. We shouldn't rest, until they can.
____
This is all I'd like to say on the matter. Please don't request additional emotional labor from me.

Betrothed Ch. 1 - Sirius Black
Sirius Black x fem!Reader
Word count: 2.653
Summary: Sirius and Y/N meet at a family dinner and have some fun, later she finds out she is betrothed to some pureblood boy so Sirius comes up with a mental idea to save them both.
warnings: Kissing, hints of sex, 'aggressive' parents, underage drinking, idk my writing and English? lol
a/n: so this is just an idea for a possible series!! i never published anything before so i’m kind of scared but i really hope you like it!! :) xxx
Ch.1 Ch.2 Ch. 2.5 Ch.3 Ch.4 Ch. 5
(not my gif)
Diner party
The Royal Manor of Watson was a cold palace, stone walls, rich decorations, sumptuous, but intimidating. The Watsons were cold people, living in a house too big for five people, but Y/N thought it was only fitting, since her parent’s ego was as big as the manor itself. Their pureblood mania deep in their minds, untouchable, which made their daughter’s life miserable. They were the perfect family on the outside but rotten in the inside, three children, Diana, two years older than Y/N, beautiful, smart and most importantly just as purist as their parents and William, tall, handsome, sophisticate and serious, he was the older sibling, three years older than Diana, he was already working with their father on the Ministry of Magic, daddy’s favourite. Home was big, impressive, a dream home if you saw it, libraries, uncountable bedrooms and living rooms, ball rooms, huge gardens, and everything you could ask for but it was far from being a welcoming home.
Though, all of her miserableness went away once she first went to Hogwarts. Of course, being sorted in Slytherin and having good grades was minimal when it came to living up to her parents’s expectations, which were high and if not complied there would most certainly have severe consequences, but still Hogwarts was more of a Home than the Watson Manor ever was.
Throughout the years, Hogwarts had become her first true home. There she felt the warm winds, the familiar feeling in the great halls, friendships, all she ever hoped for was there, a home, but not quite yet. She met Elizabeth Greengrass a blonde, tall thin girl with deep grey eyes and enviable beauty, Katherine Abbott who looked almost like Diana, but shorter, longer darker hair, blue-green eyes and thiner face. The three girls became best friends right after being sorted into Slytherin. Later on her second year she met Elijah Lestrange, through her sister, he was a year older, handsome and had a polite appearance. Y/N loved her friends but they shared the same blind beliefs her parents do, she’d always nod when they talked about mudblood, choosing not to create conflict, she couldn’t help but feel a little out of place, her parents couldn't disagree more, controlling they way they were, they were more than satisfied to know that their daughter’s inner circle contained only close family friends’s children.
The Marauders were quite famous for their pranks since first year, Y/N always admired their courage and wit, but her siblings and friends didn’t share the same opinion. When she was around them she’d always get a look from her sister, her brother or her friends would push her away, which only made them more interesting. Although, with time, she stopped trying and just kept living her life the way her family wanted her to.
Until summer break before 5th year, at least.
By then Sirius had already gained his bad boy reputation. Y/N had known Black for a long time, only by sight, his family was friends with hers and his cousin, Narcissa, hangs out with her sister, she’d see him in the pureblood elite parties they were forced to attend, they’d exchange glances but never talked. Sirius was once again being forced to go to some snobby party from snobby people. He couldn’t count in a thousand hands how many other places he’d rather be, but there he was sitting in a huge room full of people he despised, until a certain girl he recognised from other dinner parties and Hogwarts caught his attention, she was Remus’ partner in DADA, though he wasn’t sure, he never paid much attention in classes, pranking the student body was much more entertaining.
She caught his eye from a couch across the room. She was stunning, he thought, her slightly wavy H/C hair matching her S/C skin, freckled rosy cheeks and her alluring E/C eyes. Sirius only hoping she was different from the other brainwashed people in that house.
“Hey” Sirius said softly while he approached the girl that was, apparently, just as bored as he was, to his luck. “Not your scene, love?” He asked with his signature smirk on his face, wanting some good company for once at these afternoons.
“Not really” she chuckled, not knowing exactly what else to say, they weren’t close and she was a bit shy. But she was being honest, these parties were hell, full of families who thought too much of themselves, she didn't feel much like them, but she could fit in she was quiet and not nearly as loud as Sirius was about her beliefs. No one knew.
“By any chance would you know whose death palace are we on? I mean it’s huge but it looks like Salazar himself lived here, it gives me the creeps” he paused laughing “and my house it’s not a Hufflepuff common room or anything” Sirius said mockingly, not knowing exactly who he was talking with.
“Well” she chuckled awkwardly “It is my parents’, but i know, it’s not very homey, looks like a dark theatre or something and Salazar did live here, family heirloom” she laughed for real this time, she didn’t take it as an offence, if anything she couldn’t agree more.
“How come we never crossed each others path before?” Sirius asked wondering why they never talked on one of those parties or at school.
“I guess I usually just stay in the corners, like today” she chuckled.
The two of them bonded after talking for a while, they discovered that both of them hated these things, Sirius couldn't get how she managed to hide her feelings so well, she looked so much like them. After laughing, talking about school, Sirius was a part of the infamous marauders, telling stories and joking around, for the first time any of them could think of, they had fun in a family party, since Sirius’ friends weren’t pureblood except for Potter but his family had been banished from the sacred twenty-eight for being “blood traitors” and Y/N’s friends’ parents kept them at their side the whole time for “good image”.
Y/N stole a bottle of fire whiskey from the cellar and started showing the house to Sirius, while the two of them drank more than their bodies could handle, who was just as pleased as her for making fun of the paintings and carpets and the fancy but useless stuff their families valued so much. As they entered a room, particularly big and empty, Sirius had to catch his breath, Y/N and him started running through the halls before entering the room they were now on. He had only now realised that he had grabbed her hand, and apparently she hadn’t noticed until now too, making her blush furiously, releasing each other’s hand quickly and Sirius teased.
“getting comfy are we?” He smirked, as she blushed at his comment. They were very close, he could feel her breath catching. “Where would we be now, love?” He asked inching closer to her.
The both teenagers weren’t thinking straight anymore, the alcohol in their system already influencing their emotions. All they could think about, was how their touch felt electrical and the magnetic pull they were feeling towards each other, wondering how would their lips feel like. They just wanted to have fun, not caring about consequences that moment.
“Ball room” she said innocently but still a bit teasingly, not backing away from him as he inched closer to her “East wing, third floor, far away from where the party is going on, on the first floor” she bit her lip “But still very close to a room-” she said boldly wanting to see his reaction to her suggestions “-two doors away near a window at the end of the hall next to a beautiful painting of my favourite flowers” she said voice husky and breathy, making Sirius groan.
He chuckled low, “And may I ask you whose room is that?” They were now so close that their lips were slightly brushing.
“Why don’t you take me there and see for yourself” she said feeling a flip on her stomach and with a swift motion he lift her up bridal style, making her shiver at the contact, but then laughed, his hand gripping her body and legs tightly as he followed her instructions to get to her room. Once there, he settled her down on her bed and admired the girl in front of him, lust in his eyes. She smiled and bit her lip, she knew Sirius’ reputation, only one night stands, he was a ladies man, but she didn’t care, she wanted him, the fact that her mother would murder her if she ever found out only made it all more exciting.
Sirius took a look at the room, it wasn’t dark as the rest of the house was, it was still sophisticated, but nicer, the detailed wood on the wall was white and, above, the wall it self was light lilac, the room had big windows covered by delicate curtains and even had a balcony, and everything matched between the lilac and whites tones, she had a few paintings and pictures, and flowers, probably fake but still beautiful, the same flowers as on the darker painting outside, her four poster bed that matched the couches by the windows had delicate semi transparent white curtains and her silk white sheets were under a soft lilac blanket, she had a lot of silk pillows with subtle embroidered details on the corners, it was certainly appealing he thought, a beautiful room fit for a princess. Then he was brought back to reality.
“Do you think our parents are wondering where we are?” He asked with a still semi amazed look, it made her laugh, she patted the sheets next to her, inviting him to sit, he sat closely to her and then suddenly she went to the middle of the bed, which was big, pushing his wrists and they sat there, her legs crossed.
“They probably are” she affirmed giggly, she hadn't let his wrists go yet, she was holding it gently. “But, they won’t find us here, even though it’s pretty obvious that i’d hide in my room. Mom and dad wouldn’t leave the party” She paused and laughed “And well your parents certainly won’t come up here to my room i guess” He chuckled at her commentary.
“Well, well, miss perfect pureblood daughter escaping a dinner-party with the rebel Black son, who’d have thought” Sirius said dramatically, she laughed at him.
“Guess this Black here is just a bad influence on me, or… I just put on a good facade” she said more serious this time, voice low, eyes fixated on his. Her hand tracing their way up his arm, his gaze fixed on her movements. “And the fact that if mommy finds out i brought a guy to my room, and that he’s in my bed with me, would make her go crazy, only turns me on” Sirius let a little breathy moan escape his throat.
When Sirius looked at her she was already looking at him, lust all over her eyes. He trailed off just a little and asked, voice low “Y/N… are you sure you want this?” She nodded so he grabbed her waist and pulled her to his lap, he was holding her waist, lips brushing, he finally kissed her, the kiss felt electrical, it was slow and passionate at first but then I grew more heated. One of her hands was wrapped in his neck, the other was holding his chest going slowly lower, he was pulling her impossibly closer, the both couldn't get enough of each other. They had to pause for catching a breath, in the mean time Sirius leant over pushing Y/N down onto bed earning a tiny moan form her. They started kissing again, but this time was less passionate, more lustful and heated, Sirius started fiddling with her dress’ zipper and took it off slowly, undressing her, tracing kisses in each piece of newly exposed skin until she was only in her underwear, She, then, pushed his blazer off then started unbuttoning his shirt while kissing and sucking his neck making him moan. Once they were both in their underwear Sirius looked at her searching for a final consent, when she nodded, he took the rest of their clothes off.
“What do you want princess?” He asked kissing his way down from her cheek, to her jaw, neck, breasts and she moaned a little louder, the nickname turned her on even more. “Hmm??” He groaned waiting for her answer. “I want to her you say it”
“I… want you” she said between moans, after that she pulled his boxers down kissing him desperately, waiting to feel him against her in the most intimate way possible, the feeling was ethereal.
——————————
They laid in her bed legs tangled under the silk sheets, her head laid in his chest, his hands caressing her back while the other wrapped around her waist pulling her closer, making her shiver, the both of them catching their breaths while he stroke figure eights on her back inhaling her delicate floral floral scent. It felt heavenly to be there by his side, neither of them wanting to let go of one another, enjoying every moment before reality came back to them, but they knew they’ve been gone for too long, the party was probably ending.
“Sirius” she said voice as low as a whisper “This was nice” he smiled at her and pulled her to a kiss.
“Yes, it’s nice to have some fun in these events, and you love, are the most fun I could've had today” he said trailing his hand on her lower back “I mean, this is certainly the best place my parents could’ve dragged me to”. It made her chuckle. He never thought he’d fuck a girl his mother would approve and in one of their elite parties, but here he was, proof that Sirius Black always managed to corrupt girls, anywhere.
“Glad you liked it then” she said chuckling while she buried her head in his neck. But they couldn’t go on with this any longer. “You should go first” she said “Your parents are probably looking for you and it would be suspicious if we showed up together” she advised “Since the fact that we’re both missing from the party is already very much suspicious” she said laughing this time.
“Sure, love” he helped her get dressed before dressing himself and gave one last peck on her lips before getting out of bed. “See you” with a wink and that signature smile of his, he left, leaving her there with her thoughts about the events of this evening and the captivating boy, while rubbing her hands lightly where he left love bites on her neck, knowing she’d have trouble walking tomorrow and a bad headache from all the drinking. She decided it was best if she took a shower, changed into her pyjamas and if her parents show up there, she’d say she wasn't feeling well and wanted to sleep.
On his way back Sirius kept thinking about Y/N and how much they’re alike, she was the only nice person he met in one of those parties, she was a good kisser too. Starting to get confused on why he was thinking so much about the girl and the strange feeling she caused on him, but then assumed it was because of all the drinking, he didn't realise his mother, father and brother were waiting for him in the foyer and their faces weren’t kind, he knew it’d be a long night back home. But he didn’t care his only thoughts were about going back to Hogwarts and seeing her again.

( go min si, cis woman, she/her ) PARK YEJI : the thirty year old resident that's been around the MUIR WOODS for two months. when the infected swarmed the streets the first night, YEJI really proved how resourceful + courageous they were. however, many would argue that they can also be quite obsessive + unpredictable. five years has passed since their old life ended and the new one began, developing skills that have helped them become THE PROPHET within their group. it makes sense to see them thriving at the job because of their vast knowledge of drugs + prophetic dreams + manipulative nature.
𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙨 …

𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮 …
mother. hwayoung ( presumed dead ). father. unknown. siblings. only - child.
𝘣𝘪𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘺 … tw cult, toxic relationships, torture, murder, ask to tag !
yeji was born to a single mother in jeju island, south korea. her mother has always been a mess and yeji’s birth didn’t evoke any kind of a change in character.
when she was three, they moved to busan with her mother’s new boyfriend — a leech of a man who liked to drink and gamble and cheat, yet hwayoung’s low self - esteem made her stay & endure whatever he came up with. to be fair, they matched each other’s crazy just the right amount and became the sample of a perfect relationship for yeji.
their turbulent relationship lasted for eight years until one fateful night their apartment’s front door was kicked down by masked men who trashed & stole their things and dragged her mother’s boyfriend away. yeji has never seen him again, and later learnt that he has been mercilessly tortured and murdered for owing a lot of money to a lot of very dangerous people.
anyway, life went on. it certainly did for yeji, always a quiet child, the observer, the outsider — never inside, always outside — she had a hard time making friends anywhere they moved to. too weird, too peculiar, too creepy — the kids said, pointing and whispering. she, hurt and angry, in turn dreamt of their demise that never came. instead bitterness nestled into her insides.
she runs away from home at 17, but is it really running away when no one’s looking for you? yet, she finally finds her people — a group she fits in. they’re weird and eccentric and peculiar just like her, but in a cool way, in a way that other ordinary people look up to and follow. the whole ordeal is cult-y, though no one ever says it outloud.
they teach her things she wouldn’t learn elsewhere, or so they say, about medicine and drugs and their effects on human’s body and under their orders, she sells them on the shadow market. though, she also learns other languages, like english and mandarin, which she masters in no time.
yeji returns home a day after her 26th birthday. she goes back to school, gets her high school diploma and either by sheer luck, or other powerful force, gets accepted into university majoring in nursing. her goal is to work in a nursing home - being the one in charge, people needing her more than she needs them for once.
she’s on an internship in san francisco the day the world ends. she join a group after group, but they always crumble, always perish. then she becomes a loner, wandering and wondering if this doom is not a sign of something else, something otherworldly. yeji gets absorbed by these thoughts, delusional.
she eventually created a cult in the muir woods, declaring herself a prophet ( or the followers do after some time ), claiming she can talk to and control the infected. the cult is it's diapers, but slowly and surely want to overtake the rest of the settlements.
tld; yeji is a disturbed individual who believes in her own greatness and immortality, the whisperer of the undead, if you will. she leads a cult small in number, but ( mostly ) devoted to the cause. aims to create the perfect society in this new world, the infected used as a cattle, tools for the humanity rather than something feared. those who resist will be sacrificed to contribute to the new eco-system <3

More Naruto thoughts: this time specifically about the Hyuuga, not just them hijacking a different post.
A lot of people posit that Hinata was abducted by Kumo as a child as part of a bloodline theft/breeding program. I actually don’t think that’s the case. (And I’ve re-blogged stuff to that effect before.) My reasoning:
Hinata was kidnapped when she was three. Her whole childhood she had short hair. Her name is (I think, not entirely certain as I’m not Japanese) gender neutral.
Further, the age gap between her and Hanabi, the lack of her mother’s presence anywhere, etc. kinda implies (if it’s not outright stated somewhere) that her mother died in childbirth. Hiashi, being the kind of guy that he is, possible had his brother looking after Hinata around that time. As Hizashi doesn’t like his brother (and I think there are scenes in the anime where Hiashi triggers the seal and tortures his brother for glaring at him/his kid) it’s likely that Hinata was alone at night, rather than sleeping near her father or her uncle’s family.
Three years old is young enough to still be confused about the concept of identical twins and at that age Neji hadn’t been sealed yet. It’s possible that she, at that age, called her uncle “father” by mistake more than once. She calls Neji “older brother,” a habit from their childhood when they got along that she continues to use throughout the series (even when Neji hates her). I think Neji called her “Hinata-chan” at the time, rather than “Hinata-sama/hime,” but I’m not entire sure. I am, however, pretty sure that “chan” is used regardless of gender at that age.
Kishimoto is sexist— as evidenced by the source work and has a thing about boys being “better fighters” and many of them, even characters we are supposed to view as good, seem to view women as weak (or at least a big hassle to interact with).
Around this point in time an armistice is being signed to end the war, but there are likely still skirmishes between countries. Even if Kumo is willing to sign a treaty with Konoha, they’re probably still fighting elsewhere.
Lightning Country has an island close to Water Country. Probably got it in the war/are possibly still fighting over it.
Ao from Kiri obtained a Byakugan during the war. If Kumo and Kiri are fighting, Kumo would probably notice that Kiri suddenly has a shinobi who has an ability uncannily similar to the Hyuuga— and that this shinobi wears a rather obvious eyepatch.
I think that Kumo ninja saw a potential soldier to brainwash, not a future broodmare:
Hinata was three, too young to display any outward/physically feminine traits. Hyuuga tend to dress in a traditional manner, so clothing wouldn’t help people tell one way or another.
She called the child of one who was obviously a branch member “big brother” and might have called that branch member “father,” meaning she was of lower importance to the clan. If she went missing it would take a while for a search team to look for her.
With the knowledge (or suspicion) that Kiri had a Byakugan and the proximity between the two, they would’ve wanted a Byakugan of their own to counter that. Kishimoto’s sexism means that Kumo would have wanted a male Hyuuga. Fighting techniques probably wouldn’t have been a problem because Kumo is big on Kenjutsu, Raiton and Taijutsu, so she would’ve been trained as any other Kumo shinobi— with some extra focus on her bloodline ability.
(And let’s be honest, if starting up a breeding program it makes more sense to have a guy. Pregnancies take 40 weeks out of 52, with 6 weeks for recover at minimum— so maybe 1 pregnancy a year? Miscarriage is a thing, as is abortion; the later is not as complicated to do (based on reading) as I thought, though there are safety issues. Tying your tubes is permanent. And the uterus can be irreparably damaged by tons of things. We have no proof that surrogacy is a thing in Naruto, but considering Konoha has the best medical system and it uses fuinjutsu (which is thought to be pretty complicated) in-verse, I doubt surrogacy is viable for Kumo, if not everywhere. A guy can never really stops making sperm and vasectomies are reversible, and if sperm donors don’t exist, the time period of Naruto is a weird thing so having multiple spouses could be considered normal (if perhaps extravagant); were a Hyuuga boy stolen and indoctrinated, this likely would’ve been encouraged.)
Additionally, while Uchiha Izumi’s existence proves that children with one non-clan parent can still inherit a doujutsu, Kumo has no way of knowing that, considering how old Izumi was when she was murdered and the (probable) difficulties in obtaining info on her parentage.
TLDR: Hinata was probably kidnapped by Kumogakure because Ao of Kirigakure stole a Byakugan and Kumo wanted a Byakugan user to fight him off. (And picking her was likely specific, but not because she was a girl.)

There are stories that haven't been told or were overshadowed by others and eventually forgotten over time. The story of how Uga Benzaiten became the Queen of Curses is a forgotten one, unfortunately.
AUTHOR’S NOTES: this fanfic has my original characters; this is also on my wattpad and archive of our own accounts
WARNINGS: original characters, romance, lgbtq+, sukuna being sukuna, references regarding japanese mythology/lore, executions, propaganda, manipulation, murder, corrupt positions of power, brainwashing, family drama, and many more.
Words: 1,183
𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐑𝐎𝐘𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐘 (𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐔𝐄)
𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑
“Your Majesty, I apologize to inconvenience you at this time, but the Imperial Princess Uga is nowhere to be seen.”
The throne room quickly fell silent.
Not a single person spoke for what seemed like hours but was only a minute in reality.
“...I’m sorry, but I fear that I might’ve misheard you on what you have just told me,” Despite displaying a polite smile, Emperor Nintoku’s voice was filled with nothing but venomous malice. Did he hear that right? No, of course not. Perhaps he misheard the chambermaid’s news. Either
The lowly servant further explained the situation to her superior, “Her Imperial Highness requested some time alone in her chambers after her recent training sessions. When I was entered in order for her to receive dinner, I’ve noticed that her Highness was nowhere in her room and her window was open. I have reason to believe that she has ran away when she was alone.”
After telling her side, the chambermaid awaited and feared on what her emperor planned on saying or doing next. He stayed silent for a moment, and his facial expression - she hadn’t dared to look up to see his face out of respect and fear.
Smack!
The maid whimpered in pain as she fell on the floor, tears threatening to soak on the room’s floor. Her right cheek has a reddening mark from Nintoku himself.
“What a joke of a chambermaid. You avert your eyes from the high priestess and she manages to leave under your nose,” he began to tear into the maid, not caring if she’s starts crying. Uga leaving was the maid’s fault. And here she was, paying the price for her carelessness.
Today certainly has had its ups and downs.
First his men found a kappa hiding itself in an alley and brought it to him. The emperor began to ask them questions about Ryomen Sukuna, in the hopes if locating him. Unfortunately, the kappa said nothing. EIther it didn’t know anything or refused to say anything is left to only his imagination. Either way, he’ll continue to interrogate the yokai until he gets something out of it or it dies. He would be fine with either outcome.
Just then, one of the warriors burst into the throne room, interrupting the emperor’s thought process.
The warrior deeply bowed, “Apologizes for barging in, Your Majesty. But the kappa you’ve taken captive has escaped from it cage!”
Huh. Looks like he was wrong.
Today has been more of a bad day than most.
Nintoku then began to chuckle. His chuckle turned into a laugh, and his laugh became a hearty guffaw. “Well, I’ll be damned. I believe I am able to piece together what has occurred in these late hours. It appears that my dear Uga freed the kappa and took off. Right underneath not only your noses but mine as well.” He tried to catch his breath after finishing his little fit. This whole thing was amusing, to say the least.
That girl surely is something.
Why couldn’t she stay quiet and in line like the rest of her siblings? Maybe if she had, then her father wouldn’t pay so much attention to her. He always knew that Uga wasn’t as afraid of him as her siblings were, never trembling in fear whenever he would merely glance at her.
And her jujutsu training was a thing to behold. His daring daughter was a quick learner, that one.
He turned around and waved off the troop, “Send out your best searchers and find the Imperial Princess. And should you find the kappa along with her, bring it as well. Oh, and do not be afraid to use some cursed energy if she’s spotted.”
Alright, Uga.
You’ve made the first move in this hunting game you decided you want to pay.
Now it is my turn.
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Uga hasn’t stopped running through the forest even though her feet were ready to give out soon. She knew better than to stop at this point. She had the kappa that she freed from her father in her arms. Her plan was to drop off the kappa at a nearby river and continue hiding from the imperial searchers. The chambermaids must’ve learned about her disappearance and have told her father, who probably send out searchers to find her and the kappa.
That was when Uga finally found a river a few feet away. Once the kappa started to sniff a familiar fishy scent from the body of water, it wiggled out of the imperial princess’s grip and dove into the river without any form of hesitation.
Uga took out a few whole cucumbers that she stole from the kitchen when the cooks weren’t looking and showed it to the water spirit. “Here. I know well enough that you haven’t really eaten anything since you were brought to my father.”
The kappa looked between its’ offering and the young high priestess, most likely scared thanks to its recent past experience with a jujutsu sorcerer. Eventually, it quickly snatched a cucumber from her hand and took a couple of bites of it while staring at Uga.
She took off her shoes so she could soak her sore feet, sighed in relief once the feet hit the water. “I really needed this soak.” The princess made eye contact with the river yokai, who was slowly eating the rest of the cucumbers right beside her. “I’m guessing you don’t trust me still. Fair enough. I wouldn’t trust the next jujutsu sorcerer after what you went through.”
When she was younger, Nintoku would often tell her and her siblings stories that painted mythical creatures horribly and told them to run as jujutsu sorcerers who encountered a mythical creature and stay were those with a death wise. He wasn’t really wrong, but she still thought differently. She wanted to understand the mythical, not really hurt them like her other siblings wanted to once they were strong enough jujutsu sorcerers.
Oh, how she wished that some of her other siblings believed what Uga did. Maybe they could’ve run away together and learn about the mythological mysteries.
“If I continue on feet, then those searches would surely catch up to me,” she said to herself. That was when she came up with the perfect idea. Her father was in charge of her cursed energy training and he was worse than the official trainer. He wanted them to have the strength of a Special Grade. Unforuently, at least half of her siblings could barely handle a Grade 3 spirit, with Uga being the lucky few with immense cursed energy.
The searchers, on the other hand, couldn’t handle a Grade 2 curse.
“It appears that Father did manage to teach me something during my training period,” she then made an arrow from the river water and looked at the kappa one last time before getting up. “What to do when a challenge presents itself.”
She ran away from the river and went in the direction that she just came from, leaving the kappa confused. It took the remaining cucumbers and swam away from the shore.

Final chapter - is Ymir badly written or is it something else? (spoiler for the end of SNK)
TW: mentions of child abuse, sexual abuse
So I’ve seen a few people confused, upset, and a little angry about the explanation for Ymir “loving” Fritz as the reason why things were as they were, and claiming it’s bad writing and rushed and what have you. I don’t claim to know all the nuances and in and outs of long form storytelling such as Attack on Titan, but I do know some things about being a victim of brainwashing, abuse, and defending the people who abused me. Some are saying it’s Stockholm syndrome, and while I don’t necessarily disagree, it’s a bit more nuanced than that. Because I did everything I could to get away from my family that hurt and abused me, but I still kept them in my life for some inexplicable reason, year after year, involving them in it and divulging information to them that they would use to harm me psychologically and mentally for their amusement and sense of power and superiority. Why? Everyone outside of my family who observed it could see that they were shitty and awful and I didn’t need them. But after 30 years of being told I’m incompetent, no one loves me like they would, I can’t take care of my life responsibly like an adult would, and that I’ll never have enough money to live unless they helped (and the condition of their help was to give them control over my care - they picked doctors, therapists, everyone, that would give them the diagnoses they wanted so it would be an easier case to be declared legally incompetent and have my mother control my financial and housing freedom), I had internalized it to such a degree that I truly believed those things about myself. My depression and suicidal thinking sprung from the conflict that this treatment wasn’t right vs. but they’re your family and they love you so they MUST be right, you MUST be an evil child to be controlled, and YOU’RE the problem. When that is all you know, you think that it’s love. Because the love you receive is conditional upon subservience.
Ymir wanted love and the only “love” was from the king once she acquired power. As much as she wanted the love she observed the only love available was manipulative and abusive. If you’ve never known actual unconditional love, you’ll take anything that you’re given. That’s why I was raped. That’s why I was molested. That’s why I allowed myself to compromise myself to stay with people who only sought to use and manipulate me for their own ends.
Because there was none around me. And when you’re terrified of death and attached to the world, wanting and hoping that someday something good will finally happen, you latch on to people, ideas, objects that end up doing more harm than good to you, because all you know is that abuse is what love is. Mistreatment is the norm. But inside, you know it’s not right. Something doesn’t feel right. So you hope. You pick the first person who gives you any value, even if it’s your value to them and not your own inherent value you’ve found for yourself. You never truly live for yourself. You’re living so that others will give you your value. Because when you did do things for yourself - you’re ridiculed. You’re betrayed. You’re humiliated and abused more. You’re kicked so much that you go back, again, and again, because the humiliation is worse than just letting them do what they want to you. That’s what happened to Ymir. The one time she did something she wasn’t “supposed to”, what happened? She got hunted and almost murdered. And when she found that power, she had value to her oppressor. Her tribe betrayed her to save themselves. This “king” tried to have her killed. But she found power. And once she had power, her abusers sought to capitalize on it. She had no one. So when you gain power and all of a sudden you have value to someone? You latch on. Because now you’re important. Now you’ve elevated yourself. But that value isn’t something for YOU. It’s something that is for the benefit of someone who only values you when you’re doing something for them.
I’ve noticed a lot of “I don’t get why Ymir would love the king, that’s bad storytelling”. My mother is a sociopath and allowed my molestation when I was a child because “everyone else went through worse and you’re a nasty little girl” - to a nine year old. She schemed to take my inheritance away from me. When my visitation with my father was over for the weekend, she would abuse and manipulate me for three days after every visit to “get me back to where I needed to be.” I would be choked, slapped, hit, have my room ransacked and destroyed if I didn’t comply with her wishes. When I wanted to kill myself because I found no solace with friends, teachers, therapists (that my mother sought out and paid for because she wanted someone to declare me incompetent or bipolar so she could take away my legal rights and exert control over every aspect of my life), neighbors, no one, even my own stepfather told me I was stupid for wanting to kill myself and that I’m ungrateful for everything. I would later discover this man was a heroin addict for longer than I had even been alive and that the only reason my mother stayed with him was because he had a large inheritance that would come to him and she could easily have his power of attorney taken away from him and control him because hey, he’s a drug addict and can’t be trusted. Better to let her take care of it all, right?
And even after all of this, I loved her. Well, I used to. I would keep wanting her love and respect because to give it up meant I had no value to anyone. The two significant others that I did have didn’t really love me, my last one was also a sociopath who convinced me to snort adderall, take hallucinogens, and stole my car to commit sexual assault against a mutual friend who had been assaulted not even 6 hours prior by someone else. When all you know is abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, and harming yourself to get a modicum of dignity and respect and love, of COURSE you stay. Because no one else loves you, right? You’re worthless and stupid and have no value except to me. I’m the only one who can love you. I’m the only one who can use you properly. Just do what I say and what I want and don’t complain or worse will happen to you. Families don’t do this to each other, you’re just mad that I’m better than you. Choices are hard, let me make them for you because clearly you can’t handle the “real world.”
When you are told these things and unduly punished for pushing back against it, of COURSE you think it’s love. Because no one is giving it to you otherwise. They isolate you, triangulate you so you HAVE to go back to them. And you do it. Because there’s nothing else around you showing you otherwise. It’s only when you share the story with others, or view it through the lens of someone else, that you understand how fucked it truly is. Under the under, Ymir is a child. She’s a child who wants to be loved. And all she’s known is manipulation and abuse. For thousands of years, because each “founder” was just her original abuser in a new body. Like Zeke.
Until Eren. Who saw her story, and instead of using her, validated her. Saw her experiences through an objective lens and said ENOUGH OF THIS. This is WRONG. It’s SICK. And it won’t end unless I do this. Until I give her the choice to break free. All it takes is one person to listen to you and hear you and your world is changed. But she never appeared as she did when she died. She was still a hurt child beholden to her abusers. And in this instance, the only thing that could make it stop is destroying it completely.
Is genocide wrong? Yes. Is scapegoating an entire race of people in the name of world unity wrong? Yes. Is using children for war and power and brainwashing them wrong? Yes. This world is cruel. It always was. That’s been the thesis of this story from day one. But. It’s also beautiful. But you have to allow that beauty in. You have to show it to people. Ymir wasn’t able to see any of it until it was far too late, but not from her own conscious choice. She’s just a child who wants to be loved and only found manipulation. And was scared of “death” because that meant there was no love in the world. None for her. Her existence was to be used and fucked to death metaphorically. And when that’s the only love you’re given and told to expect, you hold on to it and believe there’s nothing better.
Until someone or something objective comes along, hears your pain, shares it, validates it, and then tells you it’s fucked up that that’s how you were forced to live. When everything you’ve known is a fucking lie, you do want to scorch the earth somewhat. All these people that could have helped you and they said fuck you, I’ll use you too. Standing up to your abuser is scary. I’m currently suing my mother now, and I’ve been terrified of her retaliation even though I’m 35. Because she has money and people she can manipulate into harassing me on her behalf. Even though I’ve taken as many precautions as I can, there’s still things she can do - ensure I get none of my inheritance, destroy my childhood memories, slander me publicly, fly out to where I live and stalk me or have others stalk me, or find people loyal to her to assert that I should be declared incompetent because of my autism, even though I have my own doctors I see now who disagree with that sentiment. It’s scary, but it’s right. But I’m also an adult now, and when I realized that my stepfather was telling everyone in the family that when he was high on ketamine I convinced him to murder my birth father, and that it was MY IDEA, and that my mother lied about reporting my sexual abuse to DHS because she wanted to protect her brother, his kid that abused me, and their family over me, and also had me lie about my birth father abusing me by convincing me “Oh it was so traumatic you can’t remember” so she could get custody of me just because she hated him, I finally said enough. But I didn’t have an Eren to help me make that decision. Or a Mikasa to do what needed to be done.
Ymir is still just a child mentally. Separation from that, especially when you’re a child and have no other allies in the world and you’re told worse could happen to you if you separate from your abusers, is difficult. And sometimes nonsensical. I know a lot of people were confused as to why I would still try to involve my mother in my life after the insanely fucked up shit she would do. But you don’t know any better when you’re the target. My reasoning is that I’m an adult now and I have a life of my own I’ve built despite her. Ymir didn’t have, or didn’t understand, that choice. So she stayed. Asking for breadcrumbs of love and respect and dignity from lesser beings. To quote Chelsea Hart “You want to be worshipped by a goddess without having to be a god.” She had the power, and she didn’t know what to do because she was a child. So she gave away her power. And by then it was too late to be properly reasoned with. The only way to stop it was to destroy all of it. Because when you’re a child you don’t have the benefit of retrospect. You have a limited view of the world because you’re a child. You’ve been sheltered and told manipulative bullshit to keep you down, so breaking free is the radical thing. And when you’re a child, you don’t know moderation. You’re impulsive and your emotional intelligence is limited. So of course the rumbling is the result. But you also think you still love your abuser. Because that’s all you know truly, and when you don’t see it until it’s too late, this is the result. It’s tragic, but Isayama never said this was a happy story. And considering how he WAS going to end it, giving who remains another chance at life and evening the playing field by having Paradis’ army now be comparable to the opposition army, and having the curse of the Titans eliminated from the world, that’s a pretty good ending for them.
I mean, isn’t that what Eren’s goal was since he was a child? To eliminate the Titans from the Earth? I’d say that mission is fully accomplished now.
#snk meta#attack on titan#shingeki no kyojin#snk chapter 139 spoilers#snk ch 139#I thought the ending was fine and appropriate to what he built up#but a lot of people don't seem to understand the pull of a deeply manipulative abusivve relationship and it shows#so I wanted to give context since them saying ymir staying with him is bad writing#it's not bad#it's just outside of certain scopes of imagination and experience#people who grew up in normal households have a harder time understanding why people stay with abusers#and some of the victims will claim its love#and i thought i was being loving by understanding her#but when the truth came out i had to be my own eren and mikasa#and i had and am still learning what true understanding caring and empathy are#getting rid of the bullshit from my mind#but for those who haven't experienced that kind of trauma and abuse yeah it pry seems poorly written and inconceivable#but i'm here to say it's not that crazy and not necessarily bad writing or characterization#it's just a deeply traumatic abusive relationship that one has no other workable context for besides you know its wrong but no one else will#give you what you need#so you take it where you can and hope that it's the right love#but it never is#hopefully this illuminates that choice for some of you guys

TUA DISNEY AUs: Moana (Pt. XII)
(please understand that by AU, I mean they share an incredibly small amount of things in common with the original source material which I barely remember BUT the “story” takes place in the setting of the film) (not to be misleading or anything :p)
(BEWARE: murder?, i don't know i don't really remember, sorry, i guess, etc.)
(If you can handle watching Umbrella Academy, this will be fine for you.)
(Moana) Allison is in line to be chieftess, but she wasn’t always. She used to have six siblings, but they all slowly disappeared before she came of age, leaving her alone with her crazed father. He won’t allow her near the ocean, claiming it’s dangerous since it claimed her brother Ben’s life so many years ago, but somehow Allison thinks there’s more to that story than meets the eye (ears?)… and when Lila, the goddess of darkness, comes to claim Allison’s island, it gives her a chance to look for answers. She steals away in the night to save her home and her people, taking only Ray with her.
(Maui) Luther was banished and stripped of his shapeshifting powers when Lila’s heart was taken, as Reginald needed to blame someone for the goddess’ anger and Luther was the only choice - just he and Allison remained by that point and Allison had always been of more use. He now lurks on an island, waiting for Allison to come and bring him home.
(Te Ka) Lila was the dark to Eudora’s light. They were ancient goddesses who presided over all nature, but the sea goddess the Handler became jealous of their love and power and sent one of her minions to steal Lila’s heart, destroying the balance between the two lovers. Lila became bitter and angry and Eudora fell into a deep despair, the two of them separated for eternity lest some brave soul can bring them back together.
(Te Fiti) Eudora fell into a deep, sad sleep after losing Lila, and wakes only once a year to be nurtured by Diego, Klaus, and Five, who live on her shores. She will sleep forever, she vows, unless Lila is returned to her, but as much as Diego, Klaus, and Five want to save her, they cannot bear leave one another alone on the island.
Ray is a beloved healer on the island, a wiseman who can control the winds. Allison takes him with her because a guy who can control the winds is pretty fucking useful on a journey in a sailboat across the sea, and Ray follows her because he is deeply, desperately in love with her, and this is the closest he will ever get to telling her and he knows it.
Diego left seven nights after Klaus killed himself. He rescued Klaus, not dead after all, from the island where he found Five and the three of them made their own family and home together on Eudora’s island. They care for her together, and hope and pray for someone to come and save her soon. But when they recieve word from Ben that their home is dying, Diego finally leaves to go looking for Lila’s heart, kissing Klaus goodbye and leaving his husband and son to care for Eudora alone.
Klaus was the tribe’s resident crazy person, voodoo witch doctor, and herbalist who could speak to the dead. He fled home, faking his death by jumping off a cliff in front of a multitude of village people just a few nights after Ben died. The ghosts caught him, but nobody else knew that, and Klaus sailed as far as he could until he reached Lila’s island, where he found Five stranded. He stayed there with him, braving the furious ash and fire for almost a year before Diego found and rescued them, taking them to Eudora’s safe haven. Klaus knows he must remain dead to the world outside of his chosen family - Reginald wants to kill him, because he’s the only link to Ben. And Reginald can’t have anyone knowing the truth about what happened to Ben.
Vanya was kidnapped by (read: sold by Reginald to) Leonard, a patron of the Handler who kept watch over an island full of mortal women. Vanya fell in love with Sissy, one of the island’s residents, and helped take care of her son Harlan, who she had with one of the island’s overseers. The island is a volcano beneath the sea, and therefore impossible to reach without the Handler’s personal approval, but when Vanya starts a revolt and wins back the island, it seems like things are finally looking up. That is, until they’re not.
Five left first, when Reginald wouldn’t let him practice his magic. He was tossed about by the storms, and stranded alone on a timeless island for what felt like forty-five years before the Handler offered him a second chance in her waters. He accepted, but jumped ship as soon as he could, which happened to be on Lila’s island. He made friends with a lot of coconuts, all named Dolores, until Klaus showed up, saving him from his solitude. The happiest day of his life was when Diego came and got them off Lila’s island long enough to land them on Eudora’s. Five wonders if he’ll ever make it home.
Ben was drowned in the sea by Reginald when he was seventeen. He had found out where Lila’s heart was and intended to return it to the goddess, and Reginald, who had a deal with the Handler regarding an exchange of power once all of the islands were destroyed, killed Ben to keep him from ruining the plan. Ben encouraged Klaus to flee, knowing Reginald would kill him too, and has been by Klaus’ side ever since, working to save their home and people by bringing their family back together. It’s going… okay to be honest it’s going kind of shitty.
Hazel was perfectly happy living with his wife Agnes on their own island, all of their people lost to the Handler. But when Agnes became sick, Hazel made a deal with the Handler - Agnes’ life for Hazel’s eternal servitude. Unfortunately, Agnes passed away just as they shook hands, and the Handler can’t bring anyone back from the dead. Hazel lived on the island where Vanya was held in despair for years, eventually giving his life to give Vanya and the other captives a chance to escape.
Cha-Cha was an Amazonian warrior captured and brainwashed by the Handler into doing her bidding. She stole Lila’s heart, the only one capable enough to do so, and broke free of the Handler’s training the moment it touched her palm, the two goddesses’ influences canceling each other out. She now guards the heart where she hid it so many years ago, keeping it safe from the Handler and all her allies. To get the heart, you have to get past her - and nobody’s done that yet.
The Handler literally is the ocean. She is the ancient goddess of the sea, an incredibly powerful position, but was jealous of Lila and Eudora’s love and power and stole Lila’s heart as a way of taking that power for herself. Unfortunately, she can’t take any of that power until all of the islands are destroyed and Eudora dies, at which point Lila will be rendered obsolete.
Reginald is the murderous and psychopathetic chief of the siblings’ home island. They all hate him and he hates them. He made a deal with the Handler for infinite power and killed his own son in cold blood. He’s a bitch and we’re all glad he’s dead now.
Grace is the siblings’ beloved mother and is known around the village as a healer and a caretaker. Diego is reunited with her in the final battle saving her from Lila’s violent hand, only to lose her when she chooses to become the new ocean goddess once the Handler is purged from sea. But they still feel close to her, able to see her whenever they wish, however blue she may be.
Pogo is the wiseman who meditates all the time and gives both useful and useless advice. He is killed by the Handler when he won’t tell her the location of Lila’s heart.
Diego learns the location of Lila’s heart from Klaus, who learned it from Ben, and sets off to retrieve it and take it home to Lila. He wins the heart from Cha-Cha, earning her respect and trust when he passes her maze of hallucinations, choosing to save the ghosts of Five and Klaus instead of get his greatest wish. Diego is ushered from her island safely to Luther’s, where he gives the heart to Allison.
Ray and Allison share a dramatic, heartfelt confession and kiss just before leaving the island in a raging storm, in which Ray dies distracting the Handler long enough for Allison, Luther, and Diego to get away. They are taken in by Vanya, who has made her way to Eudora’s island, where Klaus, Ben, and Five wait. Reunited, the siblings return Lila’s heart and she and Eudora share a beautiful and tearful reunion.
They ask the goddesses to take them home, wanting no other reward, but find that their island is soon to be sunken beneath the waves, the Handler’s rage at losing her chance at infinite power bubbling over. An epic battle ensues, in which Klaus and Ben use their combined powers to kill Reginald and remove him from power. Diego saves Grace from the Handler’s wrath for having such meddling kids, and Cha-Cha arrives just in time to distract the Handler long enough for all seven siblings to come together and use their combined power to purge the seas of the Handler’s spirit, effectively killing her.
Grace makes the selfless choice to take the Handler’s place as goddess of the ocean, taken in by Lila and Eudora. The siblings grieve her, but she tells them she will always be close to them, and that they may visit her whenever they wish. As a sort of repayment for losing their mother, Lila and Eudora help Grace to revive Ray from the bottom of the ocean, returning him to Allison.
Allison becomes chieftess and Luther stands by her side as leader of the warriors, as does Ray. Luther learns to again harness his shapeshifting powers from the moon gods, who welcome him up in the sky with Ray and Allison and all his siblings whenever he wishes. Ray takes over as spiritual leader after Klaus chooses to step down and leave with Diego.
Diego trains in the ways of the warriors and Klaus practices magic until he feels strong enough to leave, and they set off to become pirates and find Five, who left a few years ago in pursuit of adventure and new, exciting knowledge. Ben, brought back to life as a merman by Grace as a gift for Diego for saving her, follows them across the earth.
Vanya finds the timeless island Five was once stranded on, now called Ogygia, and settles there with Sissy and all the other women once held captive by the Handler’s goons. They are effectively sirens, but are careful who they lure in, as sometimes Klaus and Diego come to visit without warning and Vanya would never want to hurt her family.
Cha-Cha takes off to travel the world alone, making peace with herself and her mistakes. She explores new lands and seas and finds joy in her new experiences, occasionally crossing paths with one of the siblings she knew once upon a time.
Lila and Eudora keep the balance as dark and light once again, dancing across the sea and making waves with their rhythmic love. They guard the siblings and protect their islands, and the earth sings with their joy.
Oh, and that dumb chicken is in here somewhere. Maybe Kenny’s mom.

dossier — JET.
FULL NAME. jet MEANING. named after the gemstone, it is known as a highly prized magical and protective stone, meant to guide those on their journeys and protect against evil. NICKNAME. n/a GENDER. cis male. ETHNICITY. earth kingdom HEIGHT. 5′11″ AGE. 16/17 ( verse dependent ). ZODIAC. aries ( passionate, motivated, and confident leader / impulsive, temperamental, daring ; element : fire. ; ruling planet : mars. ) SPOKEN LANGUAGES. verse-dependent ; multilingual .
physical characteristics !
HAIR COLOR. dark brown, almost black in some shades EYE COLOR. a dark hazel, perceived as brown unless in the right light they have hunts of a forest green SKIN TONE. warm brown BODY TYPE. between ectomorph and mesomorph ; has the body of a martial artist ACCENT. / VOICE. confident, somewhat drawling , someone who when speaking everyone listens to despite what volume he’s using. DOMINANT HAND. ambidextrous POSTURE. slightly hunched but because everyones so fucking short, in all fairness. THE WAY HE CHOOSES TO SIT IS ON HIM, THOUGH. he has a relatively loose and confident stance, often putting his hand on his hip SCARS. beneath his clothes, he is actually branded with several areas of scar tissue from sword fights and burn marks -- significantly ones that wrap around his ankle when he couldn’t climb a tree fast enough and on his shoulders and upper-arms. he also has scars ( undetermined location ) from having to be self-taught with his lethally sharp hooked swords. TATTOOS. eventually he does in modern verse via stick-and-poke... MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE(S). his eyebrows are seemingly always in an arched state, he’s significantly taller than a lot of his company, and he has very fluffy/shaggy dark hair. he also usually is chewing on wheatgrass.
background !
HOMETOWN. a small earth kingdom village somewhere near gaipan MANNER OF BIRTH. natural. FIRST WORDS. undetermined ; debating on “ma” ( which daiyu was really happy about ) or “jet” ( which was a response to them saying ‘your name is jet’ , and him echoing that. ) alternatively, it’d be funny if it was something he wasn’t supposed to repeat, like a curse word. SIBLINGS. n/a, but he thinks of the freedom fighters as his siblings. PARENTS. daiyu ( birth-mother, deceased ). qingling ( non-biological mother, deceased ). PARENT INVOLVEMENT. raised by two mothers until the age of eight years old when they were murdered ; his biological father wasn’t really in the picture, but I’m still weighing between whether he was merely a donor or someone daiyu was in a relationship with but went off and was killed in war, and qingling stepped in the picture to originally help but in the process they fell in love with each other ; up until his parents deaths, they were extremely loving and protective of him, attempting to balance between letting him have fun and educating him in very blunt means on the horrors unraveling around them. jet loved both of them equally, and mourned them intensely. in how he raises the freedom fighters and orphans he takes in, he mirrors a lot of their mannerisms and keeps their legacy alive in that way. ( hot take: they would be very proud of who he became, though greatly saddened by the cause for it. )
OCCUPATION. social activist, public speaker, and founder of post-war orphanages and shelters. CURRENT RESIDENCE. changes depending on his travels, but he likes to stay in the earth kingdom FINANCIAL ��STATUS. born in a respectable “middle-class” home turned destitute CRIMINAL RECORD. theft, aggravated assault with a weapon, attempted murder, acts of terrorism, murder ( though out of self-defense or legal in war-setting facing hostilities ) VICES. anger, arrogance, swearing, wrath
relationships !
CLOSE FRIENDS. all his freedom fights <3 , eventually he likes to consider aang a close friend with hopes for the rest of the group. RELATIONSHIP STATUS. single. SEXUAL ORIENTATION. bisexual. ROMANTIC ORIENTATION. demi/biromantic. LOVE LANGUAGE. physical touch & acts of service.& words of affirmation RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES. jet is fairly unexperienced regarding romantic relationships as his priorities have been directed towards survival and familial bonds ; as a resort of this, he often makes exceptions towards romantic interests by bridging the familiar with the new, picking partners that can reflect what traits he praises himself for: goal-oriented, seeking justice, talented, can hold their own, and come with flaws. he is very affectionate when having romantic attraction and tries to find ways to hold their hand or face or shoulders. he does have jealous tendencies based off fear of loss, but over-all those of romantic interest are those he has deep admiration for and trusts them. he will only be protective if he feels like he needs to step in, which in case he doesn’t hesitate. seeing as he’s NEW to relationships, he will go about having conversations about what they like and don’t like, what they do and don’t want him to do. he’s big on communication. it should, however, be noted he has slight manipulation tendencies/tactics if he feels he has to prioritize something over the relationship.
miscellaneous !
THEME SONG. Landslide - Fleetwood Mac ( especially because of this video ) / You’ve Got to Run ( Spirit of the Wind ) - Buffy Sainte-Marie / Take Back the Power - The Interrupters HOBBIES TO PASS TIME. practicing his swordsmanship, sparing, climbing as high as he can and seeing how fast he can either get down, or helping others pass the time by inventing games. On the occasion when he wants alone-time, he spends time trying to mimic bird-calls. MENTAL ILLNESSES. severe case of post-traumatic stress syndrome ( ft. insomnia, constant attempt to re-live/re-enact trauma, violent flashbacks, constant vigilance, angry outbursts, intense distress at real or symbolic reminders of the trauma. ), possible borderline personality disorder ( seeking an explanation for such a black/white mentality , impulse, and rage that might not stem from PTSD, but unsure if i’m just projecting. ) PHYSICAL ILLNESSES. due to PTSD, his body suffers from a state of autonomic hyperarousal with hypervigilance, an enhanced startle reaction, and insomnia ; I’m still working out the lasting effects from the lake laogai incident LEFT OR RIGHT BRAINED. a balance, but slight leaning towards right brain for creativity and intuition. PHOBIAS. I would say he has pyrophobia, but he isn’t afraid of fire so much as the people who weaponize it ; and even then, he’s less scared of fire-nation, rather than scared of what they’re capable of. I wouldn’t put that under a phobia, as its reasonable or an attribute to his PTSD symptoms. SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL. extremely high to the point he almost has a god-complex and I debate if he has narcissistic personality disorder ; he is unbothered by criticism and is extremely self-assure and confident in everything he does. VULNERABILITIES. it is very easy to manipulate jet by triggering his ptsd ; he also has lasting effects from the dai li brainwashing him to the point the phrase “the earth king has invited you to lake laogai” still triggers him, though not to the extremity aang had witnessed, as jet was capable of breaking out of it once and had a short-lived experienced with the dai li. ( HEADCANON UNDER CONSTRUCTION ) ; he is also extremely loyal to his friends and loved ones to a point he’ll do anything to keep them safe ( don’t mistake this as cooperation with the enemy, rather I will kill anything that stands in the way of their safety without hesitation )
TAGGED BY. stole from @burnbanished TAGGING. YOU?
