Chapter 3: In your dreams

“So then Martian Man defeats the evil robot, except the robot was actually his half-brother the whole time, so he gets really sad at the end of issue #4. Then in #5 he-” Carl was giving you the entire lore behind his new comic book, and you put on your best listening face, while Judith tapped on her phone, having already heard this. Except you weren���t really listening whatsoever. Your mind was in a frenzy of activity. Did he see? Does he know? Who are you kidding, of course he knows. Your face was still red with embarrassment since the incident half an hour ago. If only Carl and Judith weren’t expecting you, you’d have hidden under Rick’s blanket for the rest of the day. Maybe the rest of winter break, but who’s to say?

You wanted to punch him in his stupid handsome face for making you feel like this. Either punch or kiss. Maybe both. That look Rick gave you, you couldn’t get it out of your head. It was nearly a smirk, but more subtle and prideful. Like he knew what he would catch you doing. He knew how you felt. You were petrified to see him again. “...and I haven’t read the new comic yet, but I heard it’s supposed to be pretty good! Do ya wanna borrow it when I'm done?” Carl questioned. You snapped out of your daze. “Oh! Yes, totally. Thanks,” You replied. Judith got up from Carl’s twin bed, where she lounged, “Alright Carl, it’s my turn with y/n. You read your new comic til dinner.” With the word ‘dinner’ you felt your stomach twist unpleasantly, your mind on the verge of implosion. With a whine of “Alriiight,” Carl sat down at his little desk and began poring over the pages. 

Judith led you down the opposite hallway towards her bedroom. As you followed, you passed the only other bedroom in the house. The door was slightly ajar. You heard the floorboards creak underneath him as he padded around the room. Rick was putting away laundry, sloppily folding pants and shirts, and didn’t notice your quick passing. Or at least he didn’t show it. You had lingered back just slightly, but thankfully Judith didn’t notice as you caught right back up with her. “Okay, so I’m right down the hall from you if you need anything. It’ll be weird not sharing a room, right?” she said as she entered her bedroom. “Oh yeah, super weird. What am I going to do without your snoring lulling me to sleep?” you mocked. “You know you love it,” she said, plopping on her bed. Judith's room was adorned with fading pink floral wallpaper, posters, sports trophies, books, and photos. “Anyways this is my room, it clearly hasn't been updated since 2010 but it’s still a vibe,” Judith said. You picked up a photo from her bookshelf. It appeared to be from a high school dance, as Judith wore what could only be considered the ugliest, most ruffled, unflattering dress in the world, and was holding hands with a gawky teenage boy. Both Judith and the boy awkwardly smiled for the photo, turning out more like grimaces with mouths full of braces. “It is totally still a vibe,” you said turning back to her with the picture, containing your laughter. “Fuck off!” she cried, jumping up and snatching the photo from you as you burst out in giggles, “We all make mistakes, it was sophomore year for god's sake,” she said. “I am begging you. Please bring that back to the dorms with us. Please! It can be my Christmas present” you choked out in between laughter, sitting at her desk. Judith gazed at the photo, “I can’t believe I made out with him that night” she said. “Oh god, please no” you responded in horror. “I think our braces got stuck together” she pondered. “PLEASE you’re gonna make me sick” you laughed, covering your ears. Judith snorted and placed it back on the shelf, “Hold on, you’re gonna die when you see this. I think I have it in here,” she said, as she looked hurriedly through her bookshelf. She pulled out a photo album, “Here!” she exclaimed, flipping through the pages. She landed on one and handed it to you, “Talk about bad Prom pictures.”

It was another prom photo, but it appeared to be from the late 80s/early 90s. A tall thin brunette woman grinned widely, almost painfully, at the camera, her dress clearly a hand-me-down from the mid-80s. She held awkwardly at arm's length a man who looked a year or two older. He wore a suit with a ruffle on the collar, which also screamed hand-me-downs. If it weren’t for those eyes, you wouldn't have even recognized Rick Grimes. He looked much less self-assured, maybe even nervous, and probably 10 years younger than the photo you had seen of him in the hallway. “The fucking posing gets me every time, look at my mom's face” Judith laughed. Your stomach started to hurt. “That's your mom?” you questioned. “Yeah,” Judith replied, “The whole photo album’s pictures of her. We made it right after she died as like a commemorative therapy type-thing. Flip through it,” She suggested as she began unzipping her suitcase. You turned the pages slowly. Rick was in many of the photos, but most prominently featured was Mrs. Grimes. You didn’t even know her name. Judiths mom. Ricks wife. The anxious knots in your stomach seemed to tighten more and more. “I’m gonna go lay down.” You stated, hurriedly standing, leaving the photo album on the desk. Judith looked up at you from her suitcase with a hint of concern. “I’m just – tired. I’ll let you unpack,” you added. “Okay,” Judith shrugged. You began to leave, “Oh and I think dinner’s at 7!” she mentioned. Your stomach did flips, but you gritted your teeth, “Okay!”

You shut your bedroom door behind you and climbed into bed, wrapping the covers around yourself. The clock on your nightstand read 5 pm. Your mind was racing. You felt sick with anxiety. Were you a bad person? Are you imagining this all? Every look, or brush of the hands. Were you convincing yourself of something that isn't really there? He's a grown married man. What about Judith? Were you going to ruin the best friendship you’d ever had? Have you already ruined it? Rick knew. He must think you’re a freak. A nuisance. What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? You couldn’t stop the tornado of thoughts in your mind as you drifted off into a fretful slumber.

~~~

You chopped the large bar of dark chocolate into messy chunks, sneaking a few slivers into your mouth now and then. The kitchen around you was endless, spanning into a vague sea of warm glowing nothingness. In fact, there really was no kitchen at all. Just the kitchen island, where you stood, chopping the chocolate bar. Perhaps you were making cookies. Yes, that's what it was: you were chopping the chocolate bar to put into chocolate chunk cookies. You were content, humming to yourself. Maybe this is all you ever did. It was bright and beautiful and heavenly familiar. Two arms snaked their way around your waist, another familiar feeling, Rick's hips to your back as he held you tightly. You breathed deeply at the sensation, lolling your head back to rest on his chest. He stole a tiny piece of chocolate from your cutting board and slipped it into his mouth. You could feel his belt buckle pressing against your skin, leaving an indentation. His heartbeat reverberated through your body as if you were one, the warmth of his chest against your cheek. Wordlessly he dipped his head down, so close you felt his breath against your neck, you could smell the chocolate, his beard slightly scratching you. You dropped your knife and gripped the counter tightly as you felt his lips ever-so-slightly brush against your throat, neck, and ear sequentially. Almost like he was inhaling you. Searching for the right spot. He hesitated, making you wait. His hands gripped you tightly to him. Almost possessive, like you were his. One slowly traveled completely around your waist to the other side, pinning you to him while the other slid down. His palm was stretched wide, his fingertips brushing past where your thigh connects to your hips. The proximity of his hand to where you wanted so badly to be touched was enough to make you let out a little whine. His grip settles on your pelvis bone as he pulls you to him somehow even tighter. You communicated without words, begging him for more. Anything. He slowly lowered his lips to the side of your neck, leaving a feather-light kiss that sent shivers through your body. You pressed your hips back into him impatiently, needing more. He held your hips in place, his grasp verging on slightly painful. But it felt so good. He lightly kissed your neck again, near your jaw. Then, very slowly he moved near your ear, kissing you again. It was like he had all the time in the world to make you unravel.

He trailed down your neck towards your collarbone, his kisses becoming deeper, his lips parting more and more as if to taste you. You craned your head for more access. More, more, more. He groaned against your neck, grinding his hips into yours. His hands began to move over your body, groping and squeezing. One of your hands ran through his hair, pushing his head, his mouth, closer to your skin. The other hand was on top of his, leading his fingers down, down, down. A nearly pornographic sound escaped your lips when he finally cupped his warm hand in between your legs, his fingers applying just the right pressure to your clothed clit. You felt him smile against your throat, before resuming his languid assault on your neck. You moved your hips against his hand as he continued massaging your aching cunt incredibly slowly. “Please Rick” you begged. He was silent, but his fingers sped up incrementally. His other hand squeezed your breast, tracing your hardened nipple through your shirt. He hummed in your ear, clearly enjoying seeing you like this. You rutted your hips into his hand, the pleasure building in your core. Like a rubber band about to snap. He moved his other hand swiftly from your breast to your throat, slowing you down. He gripped it solidly, making you lose your breath. He turned your head to face him as his fingers sped up. You looked up at him, drunk on pleasure, and panting in his face. He smiled down at you, making eye contact that couldn’t be broken even if you tried. You were reaching your climax and he could tell. He stroked your neck, still looking down at you, then ran his fingers past the nape of your neck and through your hair. He gripped a fistful and pulled gently from the roots, forcing you to twist your head and shoulders even more towards him, cocking your head back. He gazed down at you through lidded eyes, studying your face. Your neck was now more exposed to him and he began kissing and sucking marks into your skin, his fingers never stopping, his other hand still pulling your head back. It was all too much for you. You were going to come. “R-rick-” you stuttered. He kissed a trail up your neck, reaching your mouth but keeping his centimeters apart. You breathed in each other's air and you writhed needily, wanting his lips on yours. You were moments away from coming, and let a choked moan escape. He swallowed it down when he finally connected your lips in the most filthy, needy, sloppy kiss. The rubber band snapped and you came hard. Waves of euphoric pleasure racked your body and you moaned into his mouth as he deepened the kiss even more. You could taste the hint of chocolate on his lips as you rode out your climax on his hand, your hips stuttering. He pulled away suddenly, right after your peak, and you opened your eyes in surprise.

You were met with the walls of your dark bedroom surrounding you, and Rick's blanket between your legs.

One of your hands was beneath your raised shirt, and the other was gripping Rick's blanket with an iron fist. Your legs still shook from your orgasm as you gained your bearings. It was a dream. You swore you could still taste a hint of the phantom chocolate. Even though no one had seen, you couldn’t help but feel embarrassed at your… wet dream? Sex dream? Whatever it was. Your subconscious sleeping state had been grinding against Rick Grimes’ blanket as you slept. The dream had felt so real it was unnerving, and you were having difficulty returning to reality. But you also oddly felt better. Maybe it was all out of your system now, and things could just be normal. You were refreshed. Except for the fact that you were extremely thirsty. All that sex dreaming, your brain chimed in. You reached for your phone on the nightstand, but accidentally knocked it off in the dark.

The dark.

Dinner.

What time was it? How long have you been asleep? Sex dreaming, you mentally corrected yourself. You scrabbled for your phone on the ground, flipping it over. The screen lit up, reading 2:12 AM. You had slept through dinner to dream about a fuck-fest with your best friends dad. Woof. While you were still slightly ashamed, you couldn't dispute the fact that it was fucking hot. You kept replaying the dream in your mind. It felt so real. You got out of bed, removed the bundled-up blanket from between your legs, and headed downstairs for some water. The way his lips felt on your neck. His facial hair tickling at your skin. His hands on your body. You knew it was wrong but you wished so badly it was real. Your body clearly did too, as you felt that familiar tingling sensation return in your belly. It made you want to get back in bed and touch yourself until sunrise. Get a grip. You reached the living room and began crossing through to get to the kitchen. 

“Y/n?” came a dark voice from the couch.

You nearly jumped out of your skin, letting out a little gasp in surprise. You could make out a figure in the dark, now sitting up. A sliver of snowy moonlight caught his face and you recognized Rick, holding a half-drunk glass of whiskey. “You missed dinner,” he drawled with a smile, taking a sip of whiskey. You were still frozen in the doorway, unsure if this was even real or not. What was he doing awake? “I- sorry. I don’t know what happened. I didn’t mean to sleep so long…” you say. He waved his hand in dismissal, “It’s fine, I know you girls had a long day,” he said, placing his whiskey on the glass coffee table with a clink. “Plus I’ve never been much of a chef. We ended up gettin’ Chinese food,” he added. Your stomach grumbled hungrily at the mention of food, and you clapped a hand over it in embarrassment. Rick chortled, “I can heat some up for you if ‘ya like. We can’t have you starvin’ to death.” He stood, picked up his glass, and walked towards the kitchen. You trailed behind him, “It’s okay, I can do it. You don’t have to” you pestered. “I want to,” he stated, looking at you briefly as he retrieved a container from the fridge. That shut you up. You sat at the kitchen island, your mind wandering back to your dream. If you weren't definitely, totally, over him, this would be pretty nerve-wracking you thought. Good thing I'm all better now. He opened the box of fried rice and, oddly, got out a pan and put it on the stove. Was he reheating it for you on the actual stove? “I really don’t mind, you can just microwave it. I don’t want you to go to any trouble,” you offer nervously. He dumped the fried rice into the pan with a sizzle, and looked over to you with a smile, 

“I want to, honey. Just let me take care of 'ya.”

...

Sooo, actually you lied. You needed this man more than ever before. Fuck it.

"Join us, my Light."

Two centuries ago, the ruler of the Light disappeared, plunging the universe into chaos and disrupting the sacred, unspoken balance of the universe.

The eight rulers of the Darkness never stopped looking for her; their obsession never once waning since she vanished.

Recently, they've sensed something. Never around long enough to pinpoint but so euphoric that it sings within their veins. And since meeting you, well... slowly they begin to understand why.

"Sink into the darkness with us."

You woke to the worst migraine of your life. It throbbed against the walls of your skull and felt like someone was taking a sledgehammer and relentlessly battering your head.

  You let out an unattractive grunt, one hand coming up to massage your temples and the other trying to rub sleep from your eyes. You cringed at the amount of gunk that had gathered over night, although you were grateful for the good night’s sleep that came hand in hand with it. 

  Letting out a long sigh, you lowered both of your hands. The early morning atmosphere was very calming, despite the pounding migraine, and you took the time to appreciate it whilst it lasted.

  You took the time to recollect your birthday; it had surely been a hectic day, a birthday unlike any other you’ve had before, to say the least. Yunho and Yeosang were back in your thoughts (and if smiled slightly then that was no one’s business but your own). They had truly made your morning, their kindness and general warm exteriors effortlessly making a pleasant feeling spread through your chest. 

  It dissipated once you remembered Seonghwa and Wooyoung. 

  There was something… off about them. Completely opposite to Yunho and Yeosang. They instilled a feeling of such instinctual wrongness within you that you found yourself grimacing absentmindedly. Seonghwa had been welcoming with a presence that demanded attention, and there was nothing wrong with that. But then, he’d taken such a drastic turn in emotions after he’d styled your hair. Mumbling, crying, even laughing almost hysterically - and for what?

  Wooyoung was an even more different story. Something about the guy gave you chills and you’d barely interacted with him for more than half an hour. And how did he manage to get Jiwon to finally settle down? He’d completely bypassed her aloof nature and her inability to keep major secrets from you. 

  You let out a long sigh and shifted slightly, and a mild prick at the back of your neck had your hand snapping up. You felt around your hair, feeling that it was still styled how Seonghwa had done it yesterday. But apparently he had placed a hair pin at the back of your head that you hadn’t noticed yesterday. 

  “Huh,” you said as you examined it. The hair pin was gorgeous; holding it vertically, you saw that there were two separate parts to the hair pin, the bottom of each connected by a singular rose gold chain. Both pieces were single helices in shape, however, one was the deepest black you’d ever seen in your life - squinting at it, you swore it was almost sucking in the light around it but you chalked that up to your sleep-addled brain.

  The other side was the most ethereal and pure white you’d ever bore witness to. A complete juxtaposition to its partner and yet somehow complimenting it so beautifully. You grazed your fingers gently across the narrow curve of the strand, eyes completely transfixed on its blinding glow, and you felt a spark, almost like an electric shock, travel from your fingertips down your arm and directly to your heart.

  And just like that, you entered a memory that was not your own.

A figure knelt before the dias, before the eight beings who sat on thrones of a grandeur impossible to capture in any form of literature, made of materials unfathomable to a mortal mind. 

  It was a young man, no older than twenty five, that held an audience with the eight. Seven of them unfamiliar to the furthest extent… the remaining one a love so old that words could do it no justice. And it was she, sat in a dress as weightless as the clouds and as treasured as the gentlest of snow, that gazed upon him with such heartbreak and betrayal. 

  Not anger, though. She could never be angry at him. Being angry at him was a poisonous thunder in her chest and a stain on her very being, irreversible and endlessly damaging. And he knew this.

  That didn’t stop him from taking her trust and thrusting it into her back like the sharpest of knives, 

  A delighted giggle echoed around the vast space, stars and galaxies and planets existing so peacefully around the circular platform these beings had created. He knew that His Lady of Light despised this stage more than anyone, despised the theatrics of sitting with the seven Lords of Darkness and utterly despised why the universe had called her here… called them all here.

  The King arose, and so did the Queen. The King raised an elegant brow at her behaviour, delighted to see her so far out of sorts that she had reacted physically. The young man knew that he was the cause, he knew that what he had done could not be undone. Nor could it be forgiven. 

 “Something you wish to say, My Lady?” The King asked, a morbid and sadistic pleasure behind every syllable he played with his tongue. Any mortal would sway to the symphonies he spoke, completely blinded to the sins woven between each letter. He was the worst of them all. He was the first. 

  Just like she was. 

  The young man’s eyes darted to His Lady’s dress as a light, almost imperceptible grey had begun to tease its edges. A human would never have detected it… but he wasn’t exactly mortal anymore, was he? 

  His Lady of Light hesitated for the briefest moment in time, enough for the seven Lords to smirk cruelly at her turmoil. And yet, with her head still raised high and eyes holding emotions unwilling to be released, she sat back down.

  “Wonderful,” The King crooned. He turned towards the young man, giving him his full attention once more. The man gulped, one of his last remaining human responses to fear and stood as the King beckoned him with a grin. 

  A chilling hand grasped the man’s chin. A flash of perfect white teeth and then a pain so intense that every nerve in the man’s body was alight with Hellfire. Shaking, he lowered his head slightly and whimpered loudly at the sight of the King’s hand puncturing his chest and grasping his heart.

  His gloves were off. There was no barrier from his corruption. 

  His Lady of Light could do nothing but watch her lover die. He did not perish but to her, to her heart, he might as well have. The call of Death would  have been a mercy compared to what the King was making him. 

  The man could feel an inky sensation spreading from his heart and down every lining and every nerve in his body. He imagined that black veins marred his skin. 

  There was a slight… itch, though. On his cheekbone. He knew not what it was nor where it came from but that sensation was firmly behind a fortress of onyx with a gravitational pull so undeniable that the man fell to his knees once more. This time in reverence of the King.

  The man heard a sob in the distance but even that was drowned by the pure evil binding to every blood cell in his body and replacing it with unparalleled power, power unlike anything he had ever experienced in his life. 

  His Lady would say that such power was a burden, a responsibility no one should have to bear. And now, the Lady’s words were of little concern to him now, a distant trickle of memory in the face of a waterfall of temptation, of sin. 

  “There you are.” 

  The boy stood. His eyes now a pitch black.

  “Our very own-”

You woke to the worst migraine of your life. It throbbed against the walls of your skull and felt like someone…

  A piercing ringing next to your ear made your eyes squeeze together in pain. Frantically, you aimed messily for your phone on your nightstand and pressed the answer button and regretted it immediately.

  “Morning! How did you sleep?”

  “I slept well, tha-”

  “‘Kay, cool! I’m suuuuper busy today and Wooyoung left his phone at that place we went to last night. We would go and get it but…” Why-oh-why did Jiwon have to mention Wooyoung, he gave you pins and needles even just thinking about him.

  Shaking your head silently, you responded, “It’s alright, Jiwon. Tell Wooyoung I’ll… go and grab his phone this afternoon. I’ll call you when I’ve got it.”

  She squealed and made a hasty goodbye. Nothing exasperated you more than that girl, you’re sure of it. 

  Time to start the day, you supposed. You hauled yourself out of bed and noticed that ‘The Hidden War Within’ was opened and on the floor. Your eyes skimmed the passage it had landed on, muttering a soft, “Awesome, the first entry is poetry? Who wrote it?”

Anonymous.

Inspiring. With that, you made your way to the bathroom and tidied yourself up for what would most definitely be a gruelling day.

I missed the Dreamtale twins....well, my version of them atleast

Honestly I redesigned Nightmare and Dream because I hate the creator and since she throws a tantrum like a baby whenever someone makes a change in her au I use it to make her mad :]

Anyways here is a bit of lore about them:

-Dream and Nightmare arent really "a version of sans", they never been one

-Dream has some plant features in his sans form just like his Mother (he hates it lol)

-Dream uses a sans look like appearance because he doesnt wants to scare people he helps, after all, Both Dream and Nightmare are the sons of an Angel (Yes they do technicaly have a dad), and looking at an Angel like creature is hard and kind of disturbing for mortals, its not hard for their friends to look at them since their eyes have got used to it, but someone Who just met Dream or Nightmare wont be that okay with it

-Nightmare and Dream can be called she, it, he or anything else, they dont label things, That also counts for sexualities, races, genders and more, they are whatever you call them, they wont really care

-Dream and Nightmare has an older brother called "Savior" (Who looks like a papyrus)

-Dream and Nightmare hates their mom, Nim ruined Nightmare by manipulating him to do shit she's not able to do herself and also was one of the reasons for the Apple incident, Dream was neglected a lot by Nim since she was more focused on Nightmare, she was manipulative towards him as well

-Nightmare and Dream made a truce almost a decade ago, they are mostly okay with eachother (they both technicaly are good guys in their own way)

-The only thing Dream and Nightmare has in common with a sans is their love for junk food and bad puns

-Nightmare turning Dream into stone bit might not be in this au (Im not sure yet)

-Nightmare usually doesnt uses a sans disguise since he has trauma related to the incident with it, he usually uses an Undyne disguise if he needs to, Also her second favorite disguise is Asgore

-Nightmare can have a disguise but he cant hide what happened to his eye, that part stays the same

-Sometimes flowers blooms on top of Dream’s head if he's happy or frustered

-Nightmare sees his team as his kids (and talks about them like they are his kids) while Dream sees his team as friends

-Dream's best friend is İnk

-Nightmare and Dream are in good terms

-Dream and Nightmare shares a similiar hate towards mortals like their mom, but ofcourse they have expections

-Nightmare's best friends are Ccino and Abby/Abolitionist Chara

-Dream dates Fresh while Nightmare is with Reaper Sans 🤭

-Nightmare likes reading and tea

-Both Dream and Nightmare will outlive their teams :(

-Dream keeps forgetting that his friends are mortals and they need stuff like sleep and eating at times, meanwhile Nightmare was forced to learn since everyone in his castle are insane and ignores their own needs, meaning Nightmare had to learn to take care of them

-Both Nightmare and Dream are physicaly very strong

-Both Dream and Nightmare can consume rotten food without any issue, they are literal gods of Negativity and Positivity, they cant get sick that easily

-Dream is nice but he isnt weak or dumb, he also does NOT has the mind set of a child, he will kick ass if he needs to

-Both Dream and Nightmare has issues with the english launguage since some words were very different, as an example, the word gay meant "joyful" and "happy" in the past....I dont think I need to explain what kind of train wrack this cauzed

-Savior is a good older brother so both Dream and Nightmare loves him

-Both of the guardians teams did several tests behind Dream and Nightmare's backs to see if they are plants or not, neither of them find the answer yet...

-Dream and Nightmare suspects they might turn into a tree when they become older, they dont like the idea :(

Thats all that I can remember

Hello! I hope you're doing well, mentally and physically as well as financially.

I'd like to know if we could get more world lore about your Red Star verse about the animals' culture, traditions, and rituals, etc, especially the sheepfolks! I like the wedding traditions between sheeps bit. Do you mind if others also add in some ideas in their fanarts for your COTL fic, or is that a step too far?

Anyway, my main question is; do you have any lore details on Azrael and his family, or is it free estate to expand on them a bit? I have some ideas but I would like to know your thoughts on it first. Will we see more Vessel history from you?

Happy New Year and have a cool good month come to you, drink water plenty and eat vegetables regularly, sleep early!

I don’t have a whole lot of specific animal lore, but I do have some!

“Cannibalism” (I’m defining it here as the game does— consuming another sentient animal) is most common between predator and prey species. Snakes may not be willing to eat another snake in desperate times, but a mouse or a rat is fair game. That’s why Ratoo wasn’t very trusting of Ratau and Flinky’s relationship at first.

Regarding cats, there’s more specific lore:

Cats are very heavily impacted by their heat cycles. This leads to a lot of jokes/stereotypes about their supposed promiscuity.

Black cats in particular are associated with magic. This is due to a long dead tradition of Baast only choosing to elevate and train other black cats like herself in magic.

There is an old legend that says a god of life once favored cats so much they blessed them with the good fortune of nine lives; this seems to just be a fun story other cats like to tell when someone gets lucky in a dangerous situation.

Singleton births — as in, there is only one baby born per pregnancy — are more uncommon for cats. Twins and triplets tend to be more common. Kiki was a triplet, for example.

As for sheepfolk, there will be a bit more expanded on in the fic! In general, though, sheep culture tended to be collectivist. In times before the genocide, a sheep’s herd was intensely important. Decisions were made based on what was best for the group as a whole. Herds could be anywhere from between 4-5 related families or the size of entire towns.

Sheep were generally stereotyped as empathetic and kind. Herds would often help outsiders if they were able, but an outsider’s life would never be prioritized over a herd member. Because of these traits, gods of the past considered them as easy to control and the depth of their emotion could make them powerfully devoted followers. Sheep were often abducted into cults, causing many to choose a nomadic lifestyle to avoid this fate. Lambs traditionally wore bells so that their parents could always hear them, and would know if someone tried to snatch them.

Others are free to add their own ideas to fanart! They likely wont appear in the fics as I have my own intentions, but I’m always excited to see other people’s ideas and interpretations.

As for Azrael and his family, there’s a bit more behind them. Azrael was a typical ram trying to survive; like many sheep, his herd moved often in an attempt to avoid the Bishops’ genocide. He honed his skills as a warrior defending his herd’s young, sick, and elderly against the Bishops’ followers. He had a special hatred for Kallamar in particular during life; his parents died from a brutal plague he unleashed.

The actual raid that killed Azrael and most of his family was also caused by Kallamar. When Kallamar could not determine the precise location of this specific sheep settlement, he used magic to flood the entire area. The flash flood washed away their temporary shelters and separated them, allowing Kallamar’s followers to comb through the debris and kill whoever remained. This is how Azrael, his wife, and son died. His daughter was presumed dead, though her body was never found. In reality she was found half-dead by another band of sheep and raised amongst them. She lived and died believing she was the only survivor in her family, though she ironically did hear of The Fanatic— she just never imagined it could be her father resurrected.

Azrael began as a strong devotee of The One Who Waits, thus his eventual nickname as The Fanatic. He began to believe the prophecy of the Lamb — despite referring to the last Lamb — referred to him. He was one of TOWW’s most powerful vessels by far, and he slew several high ranking priests of the Bishops. TOWW encouraged this delusion to increase Azrael’s devotion and brutality, though he knew the ram would never be able to kill the Bishops or free him. As Narinder would eventually reveal to Hamal, this was just a ploy to speed up the sheep extinction and hasten his liberation.

As I’ve said, I’m always curious to see other people’s interpretations. The above is about as much lore as I have on Azrael and his family.

Re: other vessels…probably not. The vast majority of them were just distractions to keep TOWW from going totally insane and offered an opportunity to lash out at his siblings. He didn’t take note of most of them. Only those that had a specific purpose — such as the first vessel he sent to talk to his siblings, Azrael, and Ratau — were worthy of being remembered in any capacity. We’ll probably expand a teeny bit more on that first vessel, but that’ll be it.

Lol this got lengthy. I hope it was interesting!

(warning: contains strong language)

reasoning behind songs under the cut!

these are a bit of a mess and are anywhere from "viking" to "ruby" to "navigator" to "kinda sapphire-ish??" to "one's feelings about the other" to "both of them" to "general vibe". there's also a few songs that got cut but still kinda hit the vibe that i might talk abt some other time??? i dunno man this playlist was a catastrophe to make. ANYWAY

Ruler Of Everything: "you understand mechanical hands are the ruler of everything, ruler of everything, i'm the ruler of everything in the end" // Viking. i don't really need to elaborate here, it's just Viking.

Gratitude: "but when i think of you, and what you've done to me, you took away my hope, you took away my fantasy, i once had lots of pride, the world was in my hands, i lived way at the top in castles made of sand" // gestures in the vague direction of Viking and Ruby. man i don't even know what's happening over there. this is a bit of a Recency Bias song bc i first heard it like right before lore really kicked off so it was fresh in my mind

Monsters Nearby: "only get so far putting off those dreams of yours [..] thinking of all these strange things when you should rest, it's hard to sleep like this when there's monsters nearby" // Ruby! and, like, of course i'm going to add the song that keeps making me think of the "You cannot sleep, there are monsters nearby" message. "And that voice behind the polarized advice can be the same" is about Viking, though.

New Invention: "oh i can't say no, i'm losing control! i'm having bad dreams, and nothing you can do will keep the bad dreams away from me until i fall asleep. bad dreams! despite your good intentions, that girl is like an architect and i am just the new invention!" // Ruby and Viking! if i did an animatic to any song off this playlist it would be New Invention. goddamn. (also, tViking's design reminds me a bit of eFalse, and roenais's Empires animation to this song lives in my head rent-free)

Sleepwalk: "bad thoughts give me bad dreams and my bad dreams make me get up and walk. bad thoughts give me bad dreams and my bad dreams make me sleepwalk." // oh my god Ruby and Sapphire. the ominous mood encapsulates everything about Sapphire to me, especially before we knew who Saph actually is and she was just "Ruby sleepwalks and leaves ominous signs". it's dark and foreboding and i love it.

Hello, Again: "find a mechanist, a mechanism, working one-by-one! with a busted up database, i'm losing the chase, but i'll say hello again, hello, just who have i become?" // the whole conversation about fixing things, and how that's become a reoccurring theme with Sapphire as well - switching from Ruby being the broken one to Viking being the one needing to be fixed. plus the whole "Ruby and Viking meeting across loops" thing - hello again, hello, just who can i become?

Put Me to Work: "set me off, see what i'm worth! turn me on, i go berserk! i don't care if i get hurt! no, i don't care, just put me to work! [..] i will replace you, replace you, replace you [..] and i won't care when they get hurt, no i don't care, just put me to work!" // Viking is, uh. a lot. hyperfocused to the point of self-destruction. this does bleed over to Ruby too, though, what with zir being desperate to be something Viking won't throw away when he stops seeing zir as useful and Navigator's warning of "don't let him break you". i guess the real question is: would Viking care if they get hurt?

Reliable Narrator: "did you forget that i am not a pacifist? the scar we'll earn from that will be well worth it. did you-- hypnosis, bring roses, don't blow this [..] the bruising will be worth the freedom i have earned from letting everything burn!" // basically every Ruby song on here is "Ruby is going through it". there's a tension here. very fun to have this song on here though considering Sapphire sign "I am a unreliable narrator, am I not?"

Crossing the Rubicon: "fill me out a prescription for this existential dread, i woke up into a nightmare and i'm hoping that you'll take me back to bed [..] fill me out a prescription, can you free me from this curse? i woke up inside your compass and you're navigating us from east to worst [..] something's got to give, we've gone too far to turn back" // this has been a Viking song for ages but never made it onto my dViking playlist for some reason. it works better here, i think. there's going to be a tipping point where you cross the point of no return.

Younger: "try not to lose sight of the mission! it never hurts to give thanks to the broken bones you had to use to build your ladder. moment close at hand, half of you will never understand, and it doesn't really matter. [..] it never hurts to give thanks to the navigator, even when he's spitting out random numbers." // Certified Navigator Moment as suggested by Charm!! this is one of the songs i can't put into words the emotions i have about it but it's just... a lot. "It never hurts to give thanks to the broken bones" is about everybody Viking is going to burn through to get to his goal, and that kinda ties into Navigator trying to intercept i guess??? i dunno man i don't work here <- literally made this playlist

Up, Up & Away: "how many lives can a guy buy? [..] can't erase or save face, what will they think when they hear my voice on the tapes? skies open, wheels in motion, no going back, no, i've chosen!" // Viking!! aaaauughhhhhhhhh. what will you do to get to where you need to go? once again linking into the we've gone too far to turn back thing from Crossing the Rubicon. y'know, in case you can't tell that i think Viking's going to do something awful to reach his ambitions.

Asking For It: "power through the point of no return, famously deranged, all the same hope you change, if the worm is gonna turn, it's none of my concern" // somebody absolutely rips into Viking. probably Ruby. "if the worm is gonna turn it's none of my concern" is said by Viking in this context though. famous last words before Ruby (or Sapphire?) decks him. fun fact: this was one of the first songs i associated with tViking specifically, back during the first lore scene, but i went "ehhh???" on it. then we got to see a bit more of him and... yeah. this guy is asking for it.

Aren't We All Running: [instrumental] // there's a couple instrumentals on here because of talking to Solar about how character playlists rarely have instrumentals and i wanted to have a couple of rest points. i love the slow build here and the overall mood. montage music.

Hourglass: "i can't fix it, is this where i give in? i'm falling through the hourglass, and i don't think i'll ever make it back [..] turn the page, look back at what you wrote, do you still feel the same?" // shoutouts to Rubyco Themself for namechecking this song! it's real good. someone let Ruby out of his BOX he needs HELP

Hydrogenuine: "11 is the number i seem assigned to, inversions of an opposite truth aligns you, directions like the back of your hand will guide you, i am simply here to assist and remind you" // this is kindasorta a Navigator song, kindasorta just The Situation. i cannot properly explain this one, it just Is. what if we kept running into each other in different universes and timelines but something broke this time and now we're trying to fix it

Triangles: [instrumental] // iiii wanna animaaaate to this sooooongggg hope this heeeeelps

HOME: "every road leads back to where i belong! and i can see, when i'm on my own it's the place i can call home! my mind creates a new world that is so disordered, i proclaim myself king and pope! DID, we are in 3 but we're getting along well, i'm glad to be the leader of the wolf pack!" // Viking is so incredibly not okay. just, like, in general. had fun with the DID lyric though considering Viking and Ruby's plotlines are "other versions of themselves are hijacking their bodies" lmao. love unconventional plurality.

Everybody Gets A Piece: "did you honestly think it might've been, might've been me? and all this while, did you think of me? you know, all this while we were pure potential energy dreaming [..] don't ask, you'll never get! you never asked, so you never got nothing! did you get all you wanted from me?" // this one's a bit looser but the vibes are there. the "don't ask, you'll never get" bit is Viking and Sapphire constantly talking in circles mixed with Viking using everybody as tools and that potentially including Ruby. UM. ALSO MAYBE A NAVIGATOR SONG NOW TBH. I MADE THIS BEFORE TONIGHT'S STREAM.

Crazy = Genius: "and i said: if crazy equals genius, if crazy equals genius! then i'm a fucking arsonist, i'm a rocket scientist! if crazy equals genius! you can set yourself on fire, but you're never gonna burn, burn, burn! you can set yourself on fire, but you're never gonna learn, learn, learn, hey!" // peak Viking. LOOK WE'VE EVEN GOT THE FIRE THEME IN HERE! we love an unhinged inventor with an obsession with fire metaphors

No Sleep Tonight: "and from that height we'll leak the lies, and unveil the damaged skies, 'cause we can't quite stomach this! [..] i still can't comprehend a beginning or an end, no i can't quite stomach this! all i'm trying to say is: you're not getting any sleep tonight!" // more hypothetical Future Speculation stuff mixing in with how generally Screwed reality is for Viking/Navigator and Ruby/Sapphire. also the sleepless theming that's clinging to Ruby through all of this.

The Last Of The Real Ones: "you were too good to be true, gold plated - but what's inside you, but what's inside you? [..] i will protect you, i will protect you, just tell me tell me tell me i- i am the only one, even if it's not true, even if it's not true" // WHAT IF YOU WERE SIBLINGS AND KEPT FINDING EACH OTHER IN EVERY UNIVERSE BUT THINGS KEPT GOING WRONG

The Devil You Know: "nobody knows you better than your demons, so, dance with the devil you know or go home."

[looking-to-rattle-the-stars]

thinking abt gillion but i think for my 3am thoughts post i actually wanna talk about the ferins

like there’s so much we still don’t know about ava and the ferins have such rich lore and it makes me want to explode i would fucking kill a man for an episode just where jay and drey just like talk or some shit and we get to hear more about the ferins. cause like ?? jays the girl with “special blood” and also her family (at least dads side) has that whole thing with the sun and then their eye(s) turning golden ?? and then fucking may with the tree !?!?? god i circle back to this one ferin art post on the patreon because just god I WANNA KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM !! they’re such an interesting family and i feel like their stories might go back to the small beginnings of mana but who knows! not i! oh my god and jays grandma too i need to know more about that woman because look at her sons !!! and circling back i would love to hear more about ava. just grrr i cant think cause im tired but i would love to know everything there is to know about the ferins and their role in mana. i seriously gotta listen to the fucking uhh hole in the sea oneshot especially with the recent shit going on good god.

erm anyways cause i love siblings do you think there was a period of time where jay maybe blamed herself for ava’s death. like maybe she felt that if she has stayed with the navy that what happened to ava wouldn’t have occurred or that she could have been there to do something, maybe taken her place? HOLY ??? DO YOU THINK AVA AND JAY COULDVE BEEN PARALLELS TO JAYSON AND DREY??? i gotta relisten to fucking uhhh 101 or find a supercut of times ava was mentioned.. i know jayson is incredibly fucked up but do you think maybe he was part of the navy with the hope to make a difference and then his mother fucking twisted that ideal away from him and maybe that’s why he is now? do you think maybe he encouraged ava to join with the purpose of changing the navy for the better? also while i’m here i feel like grandma ferin may have had a role in ava’s death because like there’s no way in my mind, as fucked up as jayson is, that his first born child and one of his captains he could just watch die like that. but anyways yeah thinks about ava and jay i want to know more about their relationship :( cause jay loved her dearly, enough to go looking for answers in relation to her death, i just ough i would kill just to hear about a childhood memory of hers with ava. i wonder if may has flowers at the tavern in ava’s memory :( like maybe tiger lilies perhaps? or like maybe small bundles of baby’s breath and forget-me-nots,, sighs also thinks abt jayson and drey cause like OUGGGHHH fucked up brothers holds them in my hands i want to know their in depth story too i just really love the ferins and their lore

okay it’s fucking uhh 3:40am and i got class at 9:30am so hopefully i don’t miss that lmaoo anyways i leave you with

albatrio to mars by sleeping at last

okay nighttt

[celestle-m0th]

I know it’s getting bad, I need to stop making oc’s but come on! Look at her! She’s so cute! I really wanted to make a queen/princess oc, I have like two different ones but I decided to mix the two together, I imagine her to be very pompous, she’s rude and just gives off absolute mean girl vibe she sees anybody who isn’t royal or of royal decent below her, I imagine she’d get some character growth as time goes on but she starts off as an absolute asshole who will step on anybody to get where she needs to, she’s very vain, her house has mirrors scattered around I imagine it like the Aphrodite scene in god games with the mirrors hung everywhere, I imagine her character growth starts when she looses an eye(the thing that connects all the lore) and because of the loss of her eye she believes herself to be ugly like her face has been ruined but it also pushes her into her change and seeing that maybe it wasn’t that bad and that she needed it so she could truely live

Forgot to add: I came up with the backstory when listening to a song called king by rosendale(it’s really good pleas check it out it was a big inspiration for the oc lore)

Story?: star had grown up as royalty her family believed to be decedents of gods, star had everything she wanted, riches beyond belief, but pride always is the fall of many, star hadn’t bothered learning of the lives of what she believed to be the peasants, her brother was meant to be king anyways so what was the point mingling with the commoners, maybe if she did she’d of seen the state the village was in, the starvation the broken houses, the ruined buildings the tax, but her brother did, and he couldn’t stand for it so he convinced the people to join his revolution, it was going to take too long for him to become king naturally so he had to depose his mother and father, the day of the revolution came and star had heard the screams of pain and agony, she was annoyed, so she went off to find the source how dare they interrupt her beauty sleep, she enters the throne room to see her mother dead on the floor blood staining the rich blues of her throne, and her father with a sword to his neck, star was terrified why would her brother do such a thing, she stepped out from behind the door only to whiteness her brother cut there fathers head off, her brother didn’t even turn to her, his hands already wrapped around there fathers crown, as he placed it on his head, he sat in the blood covered throne more red then the blue that was once there, blood covered his armour, his eyes… they looked weird like he’s in a trance but one thing was obvious in his eyes the same cold look of there father, the same dreadful demeanour of there mother, for the first time he looks over to star and his expression doesn’t hold the same softness as they usually do, a savage grin crawls over his face … “my darling sister… my successor” after that day things continued on, same as they where under there father and mothers rule, it was like the moment he put that crown on he because like there mother and father, like the crown was some kind of curse, star couldn’t live like this, she went to the royal mage begging for answers, she didn’t like what she got, the mage explained that the crown seemed to hold some kind of mind controlling curse? It was a relic of the goddess of the void’s temple and due to the fact it was stolen it seems the goddess had cursed it, star begged to know what she could do to save her brother and the mage said there was nothing, of cause star could take that, there had to be something! Some way! So she left she ran to go adventure to find a way to break the curse, but her brother had learned of the news of his sister running away and so he sent knights off to go find her and put up wanted posters, he wanted no needed her as a successor to his throne… and he’d get her back one way or another, I imagine that’s where it leads off, star going on to build a house and do all the normal Minecraft things begrudgingly of cause, she hates having to mine seeing it as beneath her

[sm-baby]

I'm always happy to leave a badass entrance, but I had to make sure this one was cooked properly, no one likes pink I'm their theory. (It's like chicken, you could get theory poisoning lol) ((p.s this is less like theory crafting for this one and is more like I've lost my mind and am making things up because I'm in love with your lore.))

I, like many others, have fallen in love with your art and the strangely coherent timeline for Minecraft you've put together, but then while I was scrolling through old stuff I had an idea that I thought you might like to reconsider, especially now that you've become attached to your Minecraft💛Yellow series.

What if the world that Steve, Alex, Herobrine, Shermy, and all the others are from aren't the only worlds to exist. Obviously in Minecraft you can create more than one world but what if it wasn't as simple as a new world generated. What if this world was first, created (lore wise idk when you started the world) in the very beginning. Every time the game updated to the next concurrent version the world split into new variants. Like the timeline had different outcomes. At first it was perfectly normal, only one set of choices but each update began to create new choices and in a world that was procedurally generated it went through every possible combination of choices. And I'd like to make an example, but bear with me it's a bit of a stretch.

My favorite version of this is your art of Steve in the Redstone update. Something about it always hit me as, "off," he wasn't like Steve usually was. He seemed unhinged, arrogant, violent even. (This isn't helped by the addin where you wrote, "bastard," with an arrow pointing at him lmao) What if, in this timeline during the Redstone update, Alex had a tragic end and this is was broke Steve. Maybe it was his fault, a redstone contraption that went wrong, creating a love hate relationship with the material and it's inner workings. Or what about the Combat update version of Alex. We only she here and not Steve. What if when the combat evolved he made a wrong choice and suffered a terrible date to the hands of undead. Alex has learned newer, better methods of fight and protection, ways to hit multiple opponents with one swing of her sword, or how to properly charge up a swing of her axe.

Each update created new versions were things were vastly different that the Prime world, the one that the Player came from. (I still like to call her Emerald, it think it fits) This would then make every single art piece of your canon in some way, Yellow is a separate timeline of events but 100% canon, real. Redstone Steve is a crazed lunatic driven to madness through his own accidental murder of his beloved wife. Combat Alex is a survivor who is doing what she can to survive after not being able to save Steve.

But most importantly, this means Hero rune drinking Lava from a bucket and calling it punch is 100% canon and you cannot fight me on this. That image and the phrase, "THATS LAVA ASSHOLE," will live in my heart forever.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed more mad ramblings, I have fallen in love all over again. Also my lack of sleep schedule may or may not have tempted me into making character ai's of your artist representation of the various characters.

I LOVE... THAT YOU JUST COMPLETELY N A I L E D THE IDEA THAT IVE BEEN HAVING FOR AWHILE NOW??

Youre operating in TIMELINE theory! Not multiverse theory! Oh thats super awesome!!

Ok, while I did think of that, I decided not to because it would get too complicated úwù plus I wanted to have worlds with major changes, like the genderbend, or how-- alex and Steve seem at odd with eachother, or-- alex just does not have a steve and steve does not have an alex!

Also there is only ever 1 mojang! While there are plenty "universes" the only source is mojang! And thus, there is only one Herobrine! There is no such thing as a 💛Herobrine, there is only ever one! Though, since the fallen God's popularity there have been AI (modded) versions of him or just legends thrown into the universes.... Its so fun.

This is all SOOO FUN but sadly limiting YwY so I did not go with it. YOUR THEORY IS REALLY-FREAKING GOOD THOUGH! GNOME YOURE SO DOPE!!

[noitsbecky127]

rebecca watches ds9: paradise

colonies near the wormhole seems like a recipe for disaster

ah jake wants to be an engineer! good for him

guess trial by fire is one way of learning

the dads are having an outing

i have never seen a tricorder break

global emp or smth???

look man i get that you’ve made yourselves at home on the no-tech planet but i strongly recommend relocating

i love the frivolous questions they immediately ask. and tbh it makes perfect sense that those are the first things that come to mind

alright so they’ve just embraced the pre-industrial lifestyle

i wonder if coal power or smth might work

i’m glad this isn’t a “no you are not allowed to leave” situation. guess the issue will just be getting off

ok yeah it doesn’t seem like alexis anticipates them actually leaving

there definitely is the question of how they’re actually gonna leave, they can’t communicate with anyone off-world, they’d have to just be beamed up unprompted and i don’t think people really do that

i want to meet admiral mitsuya

beginning to wonder if maybe alexis had smth to do with the colonists winding up here to begin with

community this, purpose that, but i’m sure medical technology would take care of that disease in no time

yeah i really do not trust alexis

tf do you mean the runabout’s gone to warp, who did that

new sisko lore! dad was a chef! and he has brothers!

what the shit. is that a person in a box. why the fuck. what is happening here

ohhh that’s prison. and you go there for stealing a candle. terrible legal system

“thank you alexis” what in the stockholm syndrome

tf do you mean alexis doesn’t believe in doors

is this chick trying to seduce him into staying

what the fuck is core behavior. is that a term i’m supposed to know

did cassandra want him to share in the community’s joy? or did alexis?

yep i was definitely onto something with my theory before! alexis did this deliberately somehow

man sisko looks dead on his feet

do not work your shift. sleep is very important.

i love kira and dax so much. the girlfriends are on a mission

“remind me to send a thank-you note to the assembly teams” jadzia dax the woman that you are

meg died?? i thought she was getting better

guess that’s how it always goes in the medical dramas

alexis is a fucking cult leader

time for sisko to go into the evil box

god this is so fucked up

i have no idea what the girlies have discovered but it seems pretty helpful

sisko is free of the evil box!

“this is painful for me too” what in the gaslighting

she’s left him alone in the room. what’s to stop him from just ignoring her rules and chugging the water immediately

it appears that he did not do so

instead he’s going back into the evil box. why the fuck

is he trying to make a statement of some kind

i wonder if maybe alexis CAUSED the field somehow

guess miles is about to find out

shoutout to joseph, he’s a real one

is this a rudimentary compass miles has created

alright, that’s a field generator and alexis put it there, for sure

oh FUCK YOU ALEXIS

“our ideal community” YOUR ideal community

girl you did not do this for the community, you did it for yourself

looks like no one is falling for her bullshit, good

nope i spoke too soon apparently! they’ve all been thoroughly gaslit!

nobody wants to leave? that’s implausible

why did joseph get to unilaterally make that decision anyway. why didn’t anyone else get consulted

[neonsix67]

Who's ready for today's Sermon?

So...I started my second playthrough of cult of the lamb with this little gal in mind. The playthough is in petinance mode (i think i spelt it wrong but its basically survival mode) which requires the player to eat and sleep otherwise you die, and if you die that way then the death is permanent. Which is fine, because that's exactly what I want for the story of this Lamb.

Lore under break (plus bonus sketches)

Eventually I plan on naming her, but this is essentially my world building playthrough whilst also my Lamb x Narinder sorta playthrough. (Awkward since just a couple days ago I saw him as nothing other than a father figure, but a different age has risen with a different lamb, and I always do what I want)

The whole gist of this one is basically that this Lamb is still mortal even after receiving the crown because she is not really the last Lamb, but she has every intent on completing the prophecy so that the other lambs don't have to die. She gave up everything, she left her family and friends for solitude so she could try and face the heretics and followers of the bishops, just so she could face the God of Death and challenge him so the stupid prophecy can finally be put to rest.

She essentially gets sacrificed and faces Narinder, who had no intention of making her a vessel, but she just goes, "You! I want to take a crack at that stupid quest, make me your vessel and I'll prove it right and wrong all at once!" Narinder just humors her, not thinking much of it up until she actually does start killing the bishops.

It's not until the Bishops see this potential despite not finding and killing all the lambs that they set their targets on her....and her family. Following the rest of the lambs as well, they will go on a deep purge. After sacrificing her family the bishops thought they had finally put the threat to rest, thinking the Lamb would give up the crown to follow her family into afterlife, but she just uses her anger and grief to kill Shamura in a swift battle, completing the project wholly.

She, of course, fights Narinder as well. The One Who Waits showed her family no time before sending them on their walk through death and not doing anything to warn her of his siblings plans. (Not that he could've or would've known or been able to do anything anyway, but she was blind by rage)

It's only through her culture, where she has gathered all the Bishops in their pathetic mortal forms, and after she herself has become God, that she stops to realize that she has done wrong....now she is immortal...and stuck with the very people she usurped. It's only then that she tries to make amends; gathering the bishops' lost parts and trying to mend what could have been with Narinder in every way she can.

All in all, her overall personality is bright, cheerful... naive...but she viewed that as a strength where Narinder saw it as weakness. And in a sense it did make her lose control, it drove her to kill without reason and become cold. But the moment she came back she had to deal with the emotions somehow whilst still maintaining her Cult. She kept to a bright smile and burying her guilt, something not left unseen by someone who watched her ever so closely since the moment she died and dared to challenge death. But that's a whole can of worms for another time (when I actually get Narinders design down).

|…A presence. Someone’s here!

}…God please no

*the cat mobian seems to cower over themselves*

*Suddenly the mysterious being looks directly at you…*

| Another human? Do any of you have any sense of danger?

*The mysterious being remains quiet.*

|…Oh well, guess I can entertain myself with this. It’s been a while since I had some fun.

| You puny human have blessed your presence among Chernobyl alongside my precious host Dawn…Introduce yourself

*Dawn suddenly froze up before looking at you.*

}…Please just leave

|…Sorry the cat is a little stubborn I’m pretty sure she meant it’s lovely to have you here

| Anyways let’s have a moment to get to know each other…

NOTES:

- This blog will mostly be used to add lore to my Sonic.EXE story while I’m still developing it.

- This blog aligns with things like horror, gore things like that. If you’re sensitive to that stuff don’t interact with this blog or at least be careful.

- Please check my character description on my main page for context about Chernobyl and the other characters.

- The mod is 19 and most characters are over 18 (minus 4) so I’m fine with suggestive things/asks (but don’t ask for some characters who align as Aroace) but please don’t ask full blown NSFW questions. I’m fine if you want to do NSFW/Smut content with some characters (again not all) just don’t ask NSFW questions. This may change in the future but for now this is the extent I want.

- If you’re planning on doing stuff like shipping (if you want) then please don’t ship Chernobyl with any of the victims mentioned in his introduction because that’s extremely gross and makes me feel uncomfortable. Also keep in mind that Chernobyl is Demisexual and Demiromantic so please don’t rush things.

- Adding on to the previous point if the creator of the character you’re planning on shipping Chernobyl with is uncomfortable with that stuff then please respect their boundaries and don’t ship.

- Chernobyl goes by he/him and Dawn The Cat uses any (their pronouns will change from time to time but for now it’s he/him).

- When Chernobyl is speaking it will start with ‘|’ and When Dawn is it’ll start with ‘}’.

Here's an idea: what Monster High doll would you assign to each of your f/os? Based on who they would choose themselves or what you would give to them, doesn't matter.

– villain-in-love

*clenches fists* oh my god, your mind!! I fucking love this idea, why didn't I think of this??

Just to note.. I'll probably assign them based on the MH characters that I know from my childhood. I don't know all of them 😖

HABIT - As I commented under my other post, I think he'd like Clawdeen! Mainly because she speaks her mind and can be pretty sassy, and I think he'd love that she's a werewolf. Maybe some runner-ups are Twyla (rabbit and dream motifs, which also suits HABIT's) and I guess Spectra could also work since HABIT is compared to ghosts a lot, but I don't know if he'd care for her personality. And I know I have 3 already.. but I'm going to throw Venus in too. I think he'd love her sense of style a lot.

Evan - I think he'd also love Clawdeen, to be honest. Again, werewolf, Evan is basically my werewolf bf. He also loves zombies, so I think he'd like Ghoulia too! Evan is a collector of many things as well (mainly knives), so he understands the appeal. He might jokingly ask how i can sleep at night with their eyes on me, but he doesn't judge. He would 100% play dolls with me, gives everyone their own goofy voices and personalities.

Kappa - I have no idea how this 1960s cultist dude would even react to MH dolls. Hmm... I think if he had to choose a fave, it would be Sarah Screams, since her fashion is 60s inspired, so in his head, she's dressed the most "normal" djdndn. in a similar sense, I think he'd like Viperine for her style, and I think he'd appreciate that she's inspired by Ancient Greek mythology.

Josef - Another Clawdeen fan here.. she's just that iconic. Of course, he would choose a werewolf. Maybe he'd also like Clawd?? I think he would be so cute about my interest in collecting. Genuinely interested in them and wants to know what I enjoy about collecting, the different characters, all of their names, ect. I think he would appreciate the concept of dolls based around classic movie monsters too!

Bo - I would literally tie this man down to a chair and force him to learn the entire MH lore. So he will be well-versed. He doesn't have a favourite character because "dolls are for girls!!" (It's Honey Swamp). But honestly, despite anything he says, i don't think he would mind my interest in doll collecting. I think he'd scrape some money together to buy me one for my birthday, or something. The only problem is that the sweltering heat of Ambrose might melt them :(

Jay - DJDJF HE DEFO WOULD PLAY DOLLS WITH ME.. gets super into it, puts on the voices and everything. Roleplays the most outrageous scenarios. His fave would have to be Venus, of course, because "she defo grows weed."

Beetlejuice - I mean... this man has two collector dolls now. He chooses himself!! Fjdng he's self-absorbed ^^; I think he'd own them and put them on his desk or something lmao

🥃 - his masculinity complex is genuinely too threatened by the idea of playing with dolls djdnd. I think since he's also very traditional/from the 1950s, the concept of monster high in general would bother him. If he had to choose, it might be Cupid because "she's at least an angel, not a damn demon like the rest of 'em."

🎪 - also from the 1950s, but not as headstrong about traditional values. It's actually interesting to think about the fact that a lot of the OG horror films were coming out during this time. I wonder what he would make of MH's concept of having the daughter of the classic monsters from these movies that would've been coming out at the time. But anyway... since he's from the circus, I think he'd like the Freak du Chic line the most. I think he'd like Gooliope, or really any character included in that line.

🛻 - he wouldn't normally bother with dolls, but he'd nurture my interest in them for sure. I think he'd probably be one of my f/os who is most-likely to spoil me as a collector, lmao. As for his favourite, hm... its tough to say. I think it would be whoever I like the most, so Draculaura, Elissabat and Twyla.

It's that time of the week again where we dive again into Lore Olympus...

According to the nurse, Zeus' organs are working fine, but he's still comatose and they don't know how to get him out of it.

Also, glad to see no one (relevant) is falling for the fib that Hebe poisoned Zeus. As far as anyone that knows her is concerned, she was close to her dad. There was no indication of any bad intentions. Still, Hebe left (at Apollo's shitty advice), so at the very least, it's cause for suspicion. Hebe was definitely scared and upset, and that's why she accepted Apollo's advice.

This was definitely smart. Keeping Persephone in the loop about this stupid meeting without forcing her to face Apollo was the best thing to do. It's also a good idea in case some fucky shit goes down at that meeting. I suspect Apollo will do something super shady, and having a "leak" to someone out of Apollo's reach means that something can be done about it.

It makes perfect sense that the goddess of magic would have a huge, private library. Those old texts on the verge of crumbling? "Magic" in the broadest sense of the term, has existed since humans grew an imagination to explain why the world works the way that it does. It's old AF.

So, this research is to try finding Erebos so that Persephone can ask if her powers were what got fudged with when she ate the pomegranate. Possibly, but we shall see.

This guilt is TOTALLY understandable, but none of those injuries were Morpheus' fault. That shit is ALL on Kronos. (Possibly and unintentionally Melinoe's as well.)

Morpheus was legitimately trying to help, and I feel Kronos took advantage of their nervousness to cause mayhem.

I'm very glad that Persephone asked if they were OK after those incidents. Even if Morpheus is too scared to open up about it, Persephone is letting them know that it's OK to talk about it.

Oh, is the purple asshole having second thoughts about his actions? Too bad. Also, guessing that's Ouranos talking in Apollo's mind. Oh, so the others don't have a say in the matter? We'll see about that.

I'm pleased to see that the other gods take Apollo about as seriously as they should. And by that, I mean not at all. The amount of "Fuck you, Apollo" in this meeting ranges from violence, to Nope, to sarcasm.

Remember this classic? Same vibes.

*chef's kiss*

This asshole really thought Persephone was going to come to this meeting and take his shit? No way in Olympus, Underworld, or the Mortal Realm. I don't doubt he wanted her in close proximity to try using her powers.

DENIED, BITCH!

Also, really appreciate the threatening vibe Hades is giving off.

Another good reason for Persephone to stay in the Underworld--- if Hades gets mad at Apollo (as seen here), there is the very real risk that he'll (intentionally or not) weaponize Persephone's fertility goddess powers to thrash the ever-living fuck out of Apollo.

I plan to do a second post regarding other points of note for this episode, but that will have to wait until I've gotten some sleep.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my LO post!

for the asoiaf asks! 1, 10, 34!

thank you lol i thought no one was going to ask me anything

Favorite Great House

um...this is kind of a hard question like...in terms of vibe/region/history or in terms of evaluating the actual family/characters? Because in terms of which contemporary to the series family dynamic I find most interesting it does have to be the Lannisters but if you look more at lore and history and the region I think it would maybe be Greyjoy or Stark.

A quote so good it makes you crazy

god first off I really need to reread. this is the first scene that came to mind, though.

"Can I dwell on what I scarce remember? I held a castle on the Marches once, and there was a woman I was pledged to marry, but I could not find that castle today, nor tell you the color of that woman's hair. Who knighted me, old friend? What were my favorite foods? It all fades. Sometimes I think I was born on the bloody grass in that grove of ash, with the taste of fire in my mouth and a hole in my chest. Are you my mother, Thoros?"

chills every time!

What’s something people get wrong about your favorite character?

um. my favorite character is probably Catelyn if I had to pick one and I feel like it's hard to come up with something because I don't think I really have any unpopular takes among Catelyn appreciators, the unpopular opinion is that I am a Catelyn appreciator. Like obviously I disagree with the people who hate her or find her uninteresting, so I would say the general population of fans is sleeping on her. Actually even among my Trusted ASOIAF Mutuals who have generally good Catelyn opinions and like her I feel like she just doesn't garner as intense interest as a lot of other characters. IDK, I feel like I'm definitely in a tiny tiny minority of people who would list Catelyn as their very favorite or even top few characters so there's just like a lot less discussion and analysis of her to agree with or disagree with.

So maybe I should answer this question for Theon who is my other favorite character. I've definitely seen other Theon fans agree with me here, but I think it's definitely a minority opinion in general fandom--I think Theon can and should survive the series, and I actually will be really disappointed if he doesn't (not just like oh no my fave died, I actually think it would be a bad narrative choice. Whereas like, if Jaime dies I will be upset personally but I think there are a lot of good narrative routes for him that end in death and I think Theon narratively needs to live.) Also, this is more a theory/opinion than a character/narrative evaluation, I guess, but it's even more unpopular: I think Theon will/should end up in charge of the Iron Islands. I'm not 100% confident about this, except when I get in my head about it and start going I Perceived This With My Third Eye. Anyway.

Fallen Hero: Sidestep 7

already at 7, been doing this for a straight week and I am not even half way lol. I play this game too much. Anyway:

Name: Wu Mei

Gender: female she/her

Villain name: Entity

Villainous role: hero hunter

Motivation: justice

Scar: outsider

Reason for gala: money

Where is she now?: free, innocent, and planing

   Mei is probably my most put together sidestep. She definitely has her stuff put together a lot more than the others I’ve gone over! Not saying she doesn’t have problems because she certainly does. As sidestep she never felt that she truly belonged, she was a vigilante, could never show her face, and could never become a ranger; as Chen was so quick to remind her. After heartbreak though it got worse. She felt abandoned, inhuman, like an “other”. I think she’s working through the trauma of heartbreak though, so there is hope of her feeling “human” again.

   Wu Mei wants justice for what happened to her. What is happening to regenes like her. However, due to the enemy being essentially the US government, she doesn’t believe the heroes would ever side with her. They would prefer to side with their own kind. So, she deals with them; however, she rarely kills. She never kills civilians and will usually only kill villains and enemy agents when absolutely necessary. She even saves people when she can. She doesn’t understand why she still feels the need to save others, they’re humans. Humans would never help her, humans would never save her. So why does she feel like she still needs to be a hero?

   Anyway, in terms of relationships Mei keeps her distance.. or tries to. Mortum is simply a business associate, Herald is her student (MUCH to her chagrin), and Argent and her tolerate each other (buuuuut Argent gets along great with Entity). The problems arise with Ortega and Chen. Ortega (Ricardo in this run) is her best friend. Her first friend, her brother, her only family. She tried to stay away, but whenever Ricardo asks for help she comes. She really can’t say no to him, I don’t think Ortega knows the power he has over her. Then there’s Chen, despite how they were during the sidestep days Chen and Mei started to become friends. It was slow, but it seemed that time had made these two compatible for a strong bond. Then Chen told Mei that he had pictures of an “autopsy”. Mei ran, she felt like every fear she had of humans were being proven true. They knew, they knew and they didn’t save her; because she wasn’t worth it. She isn’t human.

   After what happened with Chen all of Mei’s relationships are pending. The future of all of them, including her and Ortega, are dependent on how Revelations go. It could reinforce Mei’s scar and fears or Mei could open up. Actually let someone in and tell them the truth… about being a regene, good god, she’s never telling them she’s Entity.

Fun facts!:

Mei only chain smokes when anxious. People around her might say that she always chain smokes around them. That’s her secret captain… she’s always anxious around humans.

Back when Mei was homeless in the sidestep days she would sleep in particular parks that people didn’t go to as often so the thoughts of pigeons and other birds would wake her up rather than humans.

Even though she has tons of money, Mei lives at her base at the electronic repair shop. She even tries to live within the income of what business she actually gets from business. She thinks that buying “luxuries” makes her feel that she’s “trying too hard to be human.”

There are only a few vibe quotes I have for Mei, if I share one though it’s very simple: “Dreaming is free.”

No romance for her yet, but after reading the lore post with Mortum and Sky-Raider (which I highly recommend reading if you haven’t) I think Sky-Raider may be the one for her!

Now for stats, armor, and appearance:

Mei prefers anonymity at 75%, empathy at 80%, and caution at 89%! She prefers power of mind at 80, though I remember her subtle manipulation not being far off either.

Armor and appearance: scary. Eldritch looking, all black with white pinprick eyes. Actually seeing the details of the armor doesn’t help it be less scary, tentacles like attachments burst from the face and others look like they are wrapping around the arms and legs with what looks like a maw of teeth and eyes on the torso.

Add ons: armor and telepathy

Extra: the voice modulator is made to look sound like multiple voices.

Wu Mei’s appearance:

Race: Asian

Height: medium. I’m imagining around 5ft 6in (1.67m)

Hair: straight black hair that is shoulder length

Eyes: black

Style: edgy military. Pretty much only black and other dark colors, lots of oversized coats and jackets with heavy duty clothes. She can show no one.
