#bending lore up in this bitch

[harleyification]

Can I talk about Avatar for a second?? Lemme talk about ATLA/ALoK for a second.

Like, so, I have many, many...many....grievances and hangups about A:LoK. I have tried to watch it twice, and while the first season is okay, the second season made me so mad that I dropped it. Twice. I have not watched the third season or got to see Gays In Action in 4k, because I was that disappointed.

I remember a hell of a lot about ATLA...but I can barely remember anything about Korra. That’s mostly due to my disappointment, but the fact remains that I barely remember the show, after watching it twice, and it’s the latest installment. That being said, I remember one thing that stuck out to me most....

Vaatu.

I am so, SO disappointed that they really just!! Made up this AMAZING concept of an Avatar counter-spirit, and they were just like!! “Oh yeah, his concepts are chaos and darkness, he’s EVIL, dudes.”

The one thing in the world that could possibly rival one as strong as the Avatar, would have been Another Avatar. They could’ve done something amazing with that!! They could finally have a balancing act!! A great leadup to this bigger enemy, with a twist at the end - like how ATLA did it with Ozai, with Aang refusing to kill him and instead taking away his bending!! The outcome wasn’t expected, but it still led to the same ending, with a better meaning behind it because it didn’t force Aang outside of his boundaries!! But...LoK didn’t have that. It was “Here’s this sketchy guy, we all Know he’s sketchy, but LOOK, THE TWIST IS THAT HE’S SKETCHY!! BUT ON A MORE EXTREME LEVEL!! Haha!!”

The only thing that LoK managed to twist was the lore of the world, by expanding on the Avatar, how it came to be, and by introducing a spirit of EQUAL POWER to the Avatar. I love Wan’s and Raava’s story, that isn’t my problem with this twist. My problem lies in the fact that Vaatu was merely made to be the Evil Avatar Spirit, in a world where balance and equality mean everything. I think Vaatu being the spirit of Chaos and Darkness would’ve been so cool to explore, if the creators had time to explore him - because Chaos and Darkness aren’t evil, they’re nature. What is morality anyway to a spirit?? Why make an Evil Spirit?? Why not explore WHY Vaatu is the way he is rather than say he just is??

Does that mean that Tui and La are merely good and evil, then?? They’re supposed to represent Yin and Yang, quite literally. Is Tui, the moon, evil simply because they can only thrive in the darkness?? Is La evil, because the sea is unrestrained and takes innocent lives, being a chaotic force?? Shouldn’t Tui and La be CLOSE, or at least GRATEFUL to Vaatu for giving them the darkness they need to remain balanced?? I don’t know too much else about the spirit gods in Avatar, so idk if there’s a Spirit of the Night, but my point still stands - the moon can’t prosper without darkness, and the ocean needs the moon. How can that be constrained to an idea as simple as “evil”??

Was La in the wrong or the in the right for destroying those fire nation ships, for taking control of Aang, for taking Zuko’s crew away from him after their other half died??

I just think that the world of ATLA/ALoK would have been so much better if Vaatu wasn’t just...Evil Bad Guy Spirit. The balancing act would’ve been restored if there are two Avatars (and Raava should be seen as something that can become Too Much - too much light, too much serenity/complacency, too much order means that there’s no room for self-identity, chance, risk, and the ability to look inward. If Raava can go too far, but be held back by their Avatar, then why can’t the same be held for Vaatu??). For a world that says that balance and equality is the true guide to peace, it seems really, really desperate to keep only one Avatar.

Vaatu would have been an excellent twist, if he just wasn’t so one-sided, and if it was anyone else but goddamn Unalaq.

That being said, I think Tui, La, and Vaatu (and maybe Wan Shi Tong, that giant Owl bitch) would’ve been/should be Ride or Die.

Let's join an indie fandom!

> Strict and annoying rules that feel unwelcoming

Aw, dang it..

> Literally every fun thing has the creator bitching and moaning

Aw, dang it..

> Gatekeeper fans that expect everyone to be immediately caught up with the source (and creator)'s lore

Aw, dang it..

> Fans harassing anyone they think isn't good enough for the fandom

Aw, dang it..

> "You can't ship these characters because [insert dumbass reason]!!"

Aw, dang it..

> People making a fuss and complaining about shippers and "cringy" headcanons, all of which are completely harmless

Aw, dang it..

Like seriously... Just let people have fun! this is why fandoms' popularity only lasts for a month these days

Y'all (people that act like what's mentioned in the post) are making your hobbies become chores, not only for yourselves but for everyone else in the community and it fucking sucks!

And the creators immediately start going on a power trip as soon as their work gets popular... Let's get one thing clear: there are no "fandom rules" other than not harassing real people!

If you make something that you're willing to share on the internet there's bound to be types of people you disagree and/or dislike enjoying and interacting with your creations! If that bothers you then it's YOUR responsibility to manage your own online experience, even as a creator!

If you're not prepared to understand that your words can and will influence your fanbase (and can be the cause of dogpiling and mass harassment) then keep your creations in your private discord servers or something

Don't throw real people under the bus because you expect a whole group of people to bend over backwards while walking on eggshells so you won't be upset with "your" fandom, for fucks sake

random athf hcs

i know characters dying but reviving next ep/no continuity is the norm, but when it comes to steve, it would not surprise me if dr. weird had a large collection of steve clones that he just goes through for the lulz. he never has to hire new peeps so it's just convientient

plutonians purr like cats do and for the same reasons, but the purr sounds like a combo of a cat, a dove's coo, and a gutteral rattle

Carl: 6', Frylock: 5'3", Shake: From bottom to cup lid 5' but to the bend of the straw it's 6', Meatwad: 2', Oglethorpe: 5'9", Emory: 7', Ignigknot: 3', Err: 1', MC Peepants (Big Spider Mode): 8', Dr. Weird: 6'6", Steve: 5'9" for some heights

shake's pistachio milkshake power works like snake venom in that he can only shoot out a certain amount of it until he empties out, and that it takes a lot of energy/nutrients to regenerate it. not that it changes anything bc he'd still be a depraved omnivore of a sentient milkshake w/o the setback but uh. OH yea and it is edible, enough to fill a route 44 from sonic to the top, but you'd have to ask REAL nice or be hyper sweet to him if you wanna get it but no guarantee. plus hed prolly spit in it or immediately toss it to the ground

frylock's fries are also edible but it genuinely hurts him if you eat it bc while it is sorta like his hair, some also have bones in them and are basically like our hands/arms. maybe if he shoots his fries at you like in the movie it would be ok, but you'd get hurt af and it's the same w shake in that he cant use it too much bc it takes a lot of biological resources & energy to regenerate. if he wants to cut his hair he can take certain pain mediation for it.

DO NOT EAT MEATWAD. 1.) if u do ur a monster but 2.) it may be ground meat but it's got garbage, sand, broken down bits of food, dirt, poop?, pee, parasites, the whole 9 yards so unless ur a animal or if you want to shit ur organs and skeleton out bc ur that desperately hungry then go ahead ig

meatwad works through slime logic in that he can't actually die unless hes been atomized/obliterated completely/eaten whole then yea hes dead. he just needed some time to recuperate dw abt it. not to mention he can also eat just abt anything in any amt. also he knows every aspect of the skibidi toilet lore, but only some major details on the fnaf lore but do NOT ask him abt reminant and fazgoo cuz he'll just stare at you blankly

the mooninites used neil armstrong's footprints on the moon as their restroom

carl doesn't know what an anime is but if he did knew what it was he would absolutely be a fan of it (even if he'd hide it in shame). you dont wanna know what else.

shake sucks at sports in general and anything that requires physical activity, he prefers to watch it on his seat instead. he is physically strong when he's prepared to fight, but if you catch him by surprise he's a complete bitch. actually hes a complete wuss in general when it comes to trying to fight anyone bigger/aggressive than himself. if him and his girl get mugged while walking in the middle of the night he's tossing her at the robber and running (jumping) away. but anyone weaker/smaller/meeker is fair game bc ofc

frylock has misophonia (hates the sound of people chewing). anytime he tries to explain it, shake makes a mesothelioma joke. but also it's so intense he will straight up blast you if you dont listen to him, shake had to learn that the hard way

mooninites can only comprehend music in 8 bit/midi. like ignignokt can listen to regular classic rock and be like "fuck yea bro" but through his ears(? head??) it sounds like an 8 bit/midi rendition of it. idk if this is making any sense but the closest i can come up w is that its more like a translation thing

plutonians do poop/excrete?? waste that does act like all purpose cleaner from earth but it smells highkey like rotting eggs and aged cheese, maybe even worse depending on what they've ate

Episode 2- February 6 2021- Holy shit we got lore

Lore-

To make things clear: whenever I mention someone in the lore section, I am strictly referring to their CS! character. (Also, sorry for being inconstant with time stamps but I was watching with my mom and I didn’t want to annoy her by rewinding every two minutes)

4:31 Schlatt says that Ted tried to snipe him for being absent

Ted both ogles Charlie and talks shit about his appearance (specifically his nose)

Charlie mentions how he can easily throw Ted off a roof and catch him before he falls on the ground and this is considered one rep. This implies that Charlie is much faster than the average human and is stronger than one as well even if it’s slightly.

20:10ish we get to know about “Two-Faced Teddy” which is the nickname Schlatt and Charlie use for Ted

Charlie mentions that Ted cries black tears which are later to be confirmed to be tar

Ted admits he is a demon and talks to voices in his head. He tells one of said voices that he refuses to kill Charlie and Schlatt. Wether these are voices in his head or of a higher power is unclear but they do seem to have at least some influence over Ted.

“There’s a lot of gray in the black and white” this quote from Schlatt that 1) goes hard and 2)implies his morally dubious nature

Schlatt gives rabies to animals and shoots them. The ability to give rabies is called the “rabies radar”

These three are messy bitches that ruin each other’s merch/photos for the drama

33:20 Schlatt “went back” and changed the three’s contracts so he can have 50% of the profits. I am interpreting this to be either the works of time travel or reality bending, but with the phrasing of “went back” I am personally leaning towards time travel.

The current profit split is Schlatt 50%, Charlie 30%, and Ted 20%, neither Ted or Charlie seem satisfied with this cut

Some time in the Charlie’s youth, he almost was dragged into a foam pit to drown by Ted, Charlie ends up escaping just to find out Ted was now his coach. The only ways I can think of this working is if Ted has the ability to either teleport, extreme speed, some type of time manipulation, reality bending or a mix of multiple options. Either way Ted is op.

Originally the bottom of foam pits were portals that take you to the end in Minecraft but this was quickly changed to be diseased ridden areas that creatures and Ted lurked in

To summarize the lore: Ted is a demon, Schlatt and Charlie are have some type of abilities and are possibly not human, and all three of them are petty

Thoughts: This episode was just so much fun, everyone was goofing around and I’m surprised that I never revisited this episode before starting this project but I had such a good time. If I had to recommend an episode to a new watcher, it would be this one 9/10 go watch it if you haven’t.

Things I noted:

I love seeing the fanart in the beginning and I wish they bring it back

There’s a frame that made it look like Schlatt was giving birth and I did NOT needed to see that (this docked a point from my score

The lighting in Ted’s room improved

My attention was distributed more evenly in here compared to the first episode where it felt like Charlie and Schlatt took up most of it

We see that one picture of roided up Charlie which I think is pretty iconic and am conflicted about it being considered lore. They all confirm that’s what Charlie looks like but the photo originated from twitter which violates the first requirement to becoming lore (content must’ve originated from chuckle sandwich) I am debating with myself whether or not I can consider this the official cs!Charlie designed.

(Original notes and roided Charlie under the cut)

Rel's Haunting was mentioned in my last ask and I'm intrigued can you share something about that?

Of course I can! I can also share Why I Hate Timaz pt.2

Rel's Haunting centers around a guy named Rel being haunted by a ghost, except Rel is an angel who just fell to Illaros, and the ghost haunting them is the remnants of their god.

The story opens with Rel's creation. An angel is a living tool of the gods, made to fulfill a specific function. Rel's function was to protect his god from being murdered by Timaz in the midst of a massacre of the Skysheerian gods.

See, during the War of Conquest, there were some bold moves made by various divine factions. Usually, the gods avoid interfering with mortals as a sort of mutually assured destruction pact. No one gives their worshippers too many special powers because then your competitors will give their guys special powers, and pretty soon, the world ends up nuked. However, during the War of Conquest, when the human army that would eventually become the Republic was steamrolling the south of the Iarlan continent, the elven gods of Skysheer decided to bend this truce just about as far as they could.

Instead of magic powers, they influenced the tides of luck. As the human and Skysheerian armies began to clash, if any good turn was going to be dealt, it would go to the Skysheerians. The weather was always on their side, their bowstrings never snapped, and their supply deliveries would always arrive a few days early. This wasn't strictly the granting of miracles, but it was enough to prompt a response from the Illarian.

It was decided that an example had to be set. The Illarian went to the home of the Aderenon with weapons bared. They demanded a halt to such actions, but things got out of hand, and when the Aderenon refused, the discussion turned to a battle. The Aderenon were swiftly dispatched by the more powerful human gods. However, another, smaller conflict took place at the same time.

Timaz had always had a rivalry with the god of wonder. Greed and wonder don't mix, and also the god of wonder was kind of a petty bitch. Timaz decided that he could get away with killing and stealing the power of the god of wonder in the chaos of the battle, and later blame it on one of the Aderenon. Rel was created as a desperate last act of defense by the god of wonder. They weren't able to stop Timaz from killing their god, destroying his name, and casting Rel down to the dirt.

So all that lore just leads up to where we start. Rel is a few minutes old. They're heavily injured by their fall. They know talking is a thing, but not that they're allowed to do it too. In addition, the last remnants of the god of wonder live within them, as Rel is the last remnant of his power that wasn't consumed by Timaz. The god of wonder narrates the story as he watches his beloved angel fumble their way through their first few weeks on the planet.

If you'd like to give it a read, I have it linked in my pinned post! Sorry I got a little deep into the lore, but I promise most of the story is just about Rel rambling about. Thanks for the ask!

Can I request this yandere blood moon talon headcanons with male reader.

Yandere! Blood moon Talon x Male! reader

Author's Note: ANOTHER YANDERE TALON ENJOYER?! HELL YEAH

Also, I didn't find much information about Talon's lore in Blood Moon, I hope this is in line with what anon imagined how this Yandere would be like

Probabilities that your loved ones will be killed.

This son of a bitch would kill them just for the hell of it, seriously. And let's just say it doesn't help much that he's a cultist.

We are talking about someone who, based on the little information we were given about him, enjoys killing and making his victims suffer before murdering them, so it is not difficult to believe that he would kill your loved ones just for the fun of it.

A solid 90%

First impressions

You were a man in your 20s, you grew up in a family that was made up of “demon defenders.” They were not especially strong, but they had a lot of information on hand about what it was like to defend themselves against demons, cultists, and hide or flee in case a deity from the moon appeared.

Your parents, grandparents, and many of your acquaintances died because of the blood moon and its cultists, but you managed to give a good life to your younger siblings.

More than once you encountered cultists, and even once you had the misfortune of crossing paths with a demon, but you managed to survive, even with all the scars or damage, you were willing to fight.

And when you met Talon, he saw that steadfastness in you, that determination to defend those you loved. And although he was already used to seeing his victims be strong and firm, only to then bend and beg when they realized that their lives were about to end, you were not like that.

He had met several of your family members, and among all the cultists, he was the one who enjoyed killing them the most, so many assumed that he would do the same with you.

Fall in love

After you fought for your life and were willing to face death, he simply noticed that it would not be easy for him to kill you, so he only wanted to enjoy making you suffer, trying to harm your brothers or bring you to the brink of death, but In your eyes there was always that shine, that radiance that emanated from the depths of your soul that forced you to continue fighting.

He stops fighting with you, leaves you alone and walks away from the place, regardless of where they are, at that point he wanted to seriously think about what to do with you; He didn't want to kill you, but he didn't want to leave you alive either.

After a while, he returned, but not to fight. When you threatened him to get out of where you were, he only offered to join the blood moon cult.

He explained to you how much it would benefit him to have powers and another reason for existing other than surviving day to day, that you could find new opportunities if you gave the cult a chance.

But you only wrinkled your face, your eyes filled with a hatred that he had never seen in his life; Not only did you refuse, you told him with absolute solidity that if he didn't get away from you, you weren't going to leave him alone until he was dead.

That determination, that pure hatred and the firmness that you showed in your conviction to stay alive ended up “charming” him, so to speak. And he became obsessed with the idea of breaking that fighting spirit that you had forged with so much strength.

Beginning of "Yanderism"

He tried not to, but it was inevitable for him to start stalking you. In his eyes, any other cultist or demon would want to take you at the slightest opportunity, which is why he didn't want someone else to steal his victim or anything related to him.

If there's one thing good about him, it's that he'd rather kill some other cultist than have harmed you in some way; You were someone who was only going to die at his hands, and no one else's.

By the way, you noticed that he was stalking you because your brothers mention you when they hear him nearby; You find it somewhere between annoying and intriguing, but you assumed that Talon just wanted to make you suffer, resorting to stalking just to make you lose your mind, but you weren't going to give in that easily.

And in fact, more than once other cultists tried to kill you, but after defending yourself against them just once, you never see them again. (Don't ask him about them)

First murder or Yandere act.

Short of murdering ANY other cultist who tries to harm you, he would start letting you see him, both inside and outside your home.

Your brothers, out of mere curiosity, began to approach him; It was very strange to them that there is a cultist or someone closely related to the cult of the blood moon who is so… “kind” to not kill them as soon as he sees them.

You tried to keep them from walking away from him, but sooner or later they end up talking to him or interacting in any other way. Talon doesn't seem very interested in meeting them, but seeing that he can be a means to get to you… he uses them so that he can be close to you.

You keep your distance from him, trying to avoid physical contact due to obvious reasons, but inevitably he ends up making physical contact with you.

And for the first time in his life, he feels the need to touch you all the time, usually he touches your face or your hands or arms while you sleep (because you don't let him touch you), although in his mind he wished he could take more of your skin.

Relationship or kidnapping

An extremely strange relationship.

You hate him, but you slowly develop some appreciation for him because he keeps you safe, even though you try to keep your distance from him. And he, although he wishes to kill you or break your spirit, ends up gaining a sick affection for your presence, one such that he slowly consumes him, that forces him to be more sadistic towards those who try to harm you.

Although, since I like to cause you problems, I'm going to suggest something.

You met another man who proved to be trustworthy; He was a childhood friend who managed to survive cultists and other people. It was not a romantic relationship, it was more of a relationship of close friends who trusted each other with their lives and vice versa.

Initially Talon was not hostile, but eventually, he became upset seeing how this friend interfered with your relationship with him. After he meets this friend, you start to notice Talon's presence showing up in other ways.

Your brothers tell you how irritated he seems lately, and he even started killing more in order to release some of his anger.

Should you start worrying?

In case of kidnapping, where would he take you?

(This will come later)

Coexistence

It's very rare.

Talon is not very expressive with his emotions, but he is insistent on the idea that you join the cult (We could say it like Akaza does with Kyojuro). And regardless of whether you want to or not, he insists, over and over again… even when you ask him to stop asking you that, he will still do it after a few weeks.

Marriage and family

Marriage? I don't think he can, mostly because he's a cultist and the cult he follows doesn't explain how marriage works, so we can assume that either it won't happen or there will be some weird ceremony.

And well, if your family and friends aren't all dead before you met him, then he'll kill them (in secret, and pretend another cultist or demon did it).

↘If possible, children?

….

I have no information on how it will work, but in a case that they can resort to adoption (or there is some weird magical cult thing about it or any other reason) he may end up wanting in case of the bad ending. In this case, no.

Bad ending

This is going to be long…

After a long time, the anger that he presses inside of him ends up consuming him, and he kills your best friend, your only mental support in a life where you lost all the things you could lose, but this time was different.

The other times I could hide his murders with pointing out some other cultist as guilty, but this time he didn't feel that need to lie.

She barely killed him, took his corpse, before bringing him before you, and dumping him in front of your eyes, even bleeding out in front of you.

The anger consumed you, grabbing the weapon you had at hand so you could confront him and finish this story off once and for all.

The fight you two had lasted a long time, and there was a big difference between him and you; He could fight for hours due to the powers that being a cultist gave him, unlike your human body, made of flesh and blood.

Even badly injured or on the verge of death, that spark of anger was still stuck in your eyes, that raw touch of hatred that turned you into a human monster.

And he realized that he couldn't let you die. He had mentally prepared himself to be able to kill you, but he couldn't do it… his obsession didn't let him finish passing the blade through your chest to stab your heart.

He made the decision to take you away, take you to a place that not even the cultists or the demons themselves could know where it was located… He knocked you unconscious after fighting you, and took you to an abandoned temple that only he knew its exact location.

He locked you in a dusty room, with chains on your wrists and no possibility of escape… It was even unique the feeling he developed because of how you looked struggling against your bonds.

He knew that he couldn't break you, couldn't break your spirit through physical torture or words, so he had to resort to other options to break your mind in such a way that you wouldn't escape from him anymore.

I won't say more because it would make it longer, but yes, it's exactly what you think.

Reasons to be a Yandere:

-While he loves killing and reducing other people's lives to nothing and watching the life leave their bodies as they beg for mercy, having someone who fights so fervently against him without subjecting his mind to begging and asking for mercy is something… unique, especially coming from a family that had already seen how fighters they were against the cult.

-Before, he was a human, one who also fought hard against people he couldn't beat, so it gives him a certain nostalgia to see you fight against him.

Extra data:

-Your brothers noticed how obsessed he was with you, but they only mentioned it as jokes or recommendations for you. Let's say that a cultist who has already killed in your name and who just wants to be close to you could be a great ally to have a slightly calmer life, or at least that's their reasoning.

-Your best friend, before he died, crossed paths with Talon more than once, and tried to talk to him to try to find out how true it was that he wasn't trying to kill you, but let's say that Talon doesn't like him very much.

-After the kidnapping, your brothers searched for you all over the world, but they never found you, in their last desperate attempts, they tried to turn to another cultist or demon for help regarding finding their brother, what happens next I leave it to your imagination.

-If you are someone tall and robust, he likes to fight with you more due to the level of fight you could give him.

-Otherwise, if you are smaller but maintain physical strength, he tends to become more obsessed with physical contact with you.

-In the kidnapping, Talon knows that you must feed yourself, but he usually steals food from other humans so he doesn't have to cook, or at least until, after you get used to being there and have accepted him as your destined mate, he leaves you that you cook for yourself.

-If you want to know how long it will be before you see him without a mask, I can estimate that in a total of 3-4 weeks from when he starts stalking you more explicitly you see him without the mask.

pretend i dont know anything about mitch (because i actually dont and was too scared to ask in dms) and please share everything you have about that man ?!

Ohmahat gawd I’m gonna OOGLE u

Okayokayokayokayokagokag.

Starting off canonically (typing this after hand — there was barely any canon it was just us yapping)

Mitch doesn’t have much lore to him in all honesty

Just the dude that got terrorized by eyeless Jack (nawt Jack Nyras whatever the fuck La mishi mishi named their twink ass version of EJ)

But like. . . Maybe it’s just me being an EJ irl or just how much Mitchell fascinates me for no reason at all, hands down one of my favorite “background” CRP characters to a popular/mainstream one.

To sum up the eyeless Jack story told in Mitch’s point of view

—> (quote)

"I was staring face to face with a creature with a black hoodie and a dark blue mask with no nose or mouth staring down at me. The thing that scared me the most was that it had no eyes. Just empty, black sockets. The creature also had some black substance dripping from its sockets."

Actual thing —>

In the original story, a man named Mitch moves in with his brother Edwin after his house is foreclosed. A week later, Mitch wakes up with a large gash on his cheek. After going to the hospital, the doctor reveals that Mitch's left kidney had been surgically removed overnight. Around midnight that night, Mitch wakes to see Eyeless Jack over his bed, wearing a blue mask with black liquid dripping from empty eye sockets behind the mask.

Mitch manages to grab his camera and take a picture before Jack attacks, clawing at his chest. Mitch escapes and flees into the woods, where he trips and is knocked unconscious. When Mitch awakens in the hospital, it is revealed to him that Edwin had been killed the previous night. His parents drive him to the house to collect his belongings. When he enters, Mitch sees Edwin's corpse and a small object lying next to it. He observes it find that it is his kidney with a bite taken out of it, covered in a black substance.

(Copy and pasted for accuracy)

——————

There is very little media of Mitch becuz the OG (the rake-like eyeless Jack / aka the “OG”) isn’t as popular as all the remakes (the most popular being the cult-sacrificed — Slavic son of Chernobog: and WW2 eyeless Jack)

But the ones that do (or even just barely hint at his existence) I EAT THE EFF UP

(Links) —>

(This one is so silly cuz the art tbh)

(The little dude doll is supposedly Mitch. . . Also I heavily think this has Hannibal references ?!!??!!??? Maybe I’m a little too autistic)

This I ESPECIALLY love omfg

And there are probably more out there but these r just some examples

—————

I guess I really like the fact that unlike other victims of different EJ stories (or just any slasher / CRP story) Mitch isn’t a complete dumbass and he fights and flights against EJ. Whether EJ psychologically tortured Mitch (as some alternate versions go) or not idrc I still find him so silly. . . AND HE DOESNT DIE ?? WOO HOO YOU GO BITCH QUEEN !!!!!

The media of Mitch that is out there indicates the man has either blonde or black hair , blue eyes , and pale skin.

My guy is most definitely in his 20’s (assuming he is mid - late 20’s) and while not having a canonical full name (that I know of) I’ve seen multiple sources saying it’s Mitch(ell) Harlan’s / start w a H?? Idk. EJ’s story is left to be a mysterious one that is easily bended to fit anybody’s creative imaginary. That goes the same way for Mitch as well.

I ALSO SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT MITCH IS EYELESS JACK WHICH I FIND VERY VERY COOL

if EJ doesn’t kill its victims, or they manage to escape, they fall under a certain illness that basically mutilates their appearances. ( not canon at all plz I just wanted to mention this )

(And yes I will be using it/its for ej cuz not only do I use it/its but EJ is canonically referred to as a masculine thing, “it” and creature 😒)

There is this sooper dooped cool artist on toyhouse, and while their eyeless Jack isn’t the victim (aka Mitch) and just happened 2 have the same night I still I love their interpretation of EJ.

Uhhh that’s basically it for “canon” wise and additional information. Dudes basically as much as a mystery as eyeless Jack itself andddd yeah I still love him and I think we can do just as much to his character just liek what was done w EJ

(I probably sound insane to anything reading this:) what is bro yapping about? Mitch was just a victim—— SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH let me live in my own littol world of mitches 😞

(Also had 2 hold back on yapping about my memories w Mitch bc I’d actually drive the tumbers on here insane)

Kaayzie

Im done

Errr

Lore!!!!!

(Please read)

Neil gets transported into whatever media that i attach myself to, he can respawn and remembers his deaths.

He just wants to go home, but knows that he never will get eternal rest.

He got dropped into fear and hunger: termina first, scarring him and desensitizing him to death, despair and fear. So he already had gotten familiar with depravity.

Because termina is hard as balls to complete, neil teams up with the worst man alive, Caligura (this info will be quite important later) because he wouldn’t feel bad for killing scum.

Many would think that he would be a husk of a man, you would be right but he became more wacky.

Neil’s inclusion warps the plot of each media he gets dragged into, some characters may be aware of this phenomenon. Most aren’t though.

What being in termina does to a mfer:

Neil dislikes jimmy, mostly because he’s in de nile about being an awful bitch. At least Caligura knew he was a monster and admitted it (literally his moonscorched form is a giant ballsack 💀)

But for some reason, Neil is still drawn to jimmy; maybe it’s because he’s mentally ill, having the habit of attaching himself to emotionally abusive/ unavailable men (daddy issues) or like a vulture to a dying animal, unknowingly attracted to misfortune and death.

He (somehow) gotten hired by pony express last minute and was a last minute addition to the crew as a second medic (reality bending really be doing the legwork).

At the end, neil would definitely torment a hallucinating jimmy because its fucking funny.

// yo! You made it to the end! Cool! This is CHAIR from @funtime-bow , i am also 18 and i am the creator of Neil.

[millimononym]

Galactik football x Homestuck AU type thing

well, more like me troll-ificating the Snow Kids. I only drew headshots because i couldn't figure out the shirt designs as you'll see

explaining the important HS lore for this AU:

-in HS, there is an alien species called Trolls who live on a planet called Alternia. Alternia is a violent shithole where everyone is seperated with their place in society being decided by their blood color-there are 12 and they're based on zodiac signs

(Lowblood castes,the extinct limebloods who are considered a mutation now due to rarity, midbloods, highbloods and the 2nd highest blood caste is seadweller royalty, and the top blood caste only consisting of the queen),

-and the queen wants to take over as many worlds as possible to add to the empire

°for the purpose of this au, just like the GF novelization claims (it isn't canon but it's better than nothing) that the humans came to the Zaelion Galaxy out of nowhere and settled on Akillian, the same happened here but with a group of trolls. The bitch ass queen isn't a thing anymore(probably got defeated) because the Alternian empire would obviously want to take over the Zaelion Galaxy if she was alive.

°blood color also isn't as important anymore because well...obviously. let's assume that most of the trolls that somehow came to the Zaelion Galaxy were a progressive bunch. There's still a monarchy lead by a queen and vague aristocracy but that's about it.

-in HS depending on which caste they are, the troll may have a power. The bottom 3 lowbloods(rust,bronze and gold) all have psychic abilities, the extinct limebloods had something about them that had the queen wanting them dead, the olivebloods are generally lucky and the higher up you go on the spectrum, you don't have abilities but you do get a resistance to them. Unless you have a mutation that gives you psychic abilities

°this still applies in the AU, however it is not considered a flux. My reasoning for this is that only certain members of the species have it so it doesn't apply. And also some members of the flux society clearly have psychic powers but flux use is illegal sooo? And as well,i consider the flux to be like the bending from Avatar. It's not genetic,spiritual or physical but some secret 4th thing. The GF novelization even states that no one knows where flux comes from so they still get the breath of Akillian! (but not for long because WHOOPS there goes the glaciation!)

-in HS on Alternia, there are no adults. The baby grubs (because yes the trolls sre insects) are taken care of by animals called lusii until they are old enough to become the animals' caretaker themselves. Obviously traumatic and not very effective method of raising well adjusted members of a healthy society

°so in this AU they developed past the point of abandoning children to be taken care of by animals and the adults actually parent.

°the reason why all of the names in the pic are 6 letters is because all of the trolls in HS have 6 letter names. I couldn't bother with Tia so let's just say its a shortened nickname. Sinedd and Rocket are the only ones with valid troll names which once again proves they are the edgiest

DESIGN explanations:

-i picked the blood color/zodiac based purely on vibes because we don't know the SK birthdays and most of them are spot on in my opinion. Except Ahito and Thran who didn't really fit anywhere so i just picked indigo bc blue color. Also i wanted to make Rocket a goldblood(gemini) because of the whole duality aspect between s1 and 2 but since i was drawing on paper and so focused on the horns i forgot literally ALL OF THE GOLDBLOOD DESIGN ELEMENTS. so i changed him to a jadeblood and lo and behold it fits better as well

-the horns are based mostly on shirt designs and jersey numbers(rockets' is the netherball one) with the exception of Mei and Micro ice. I had no idea what to do with them so i just. Drew some shit

-i made Mei a purpleblood purely because they all wear clown makeup. Still makeup nonetheless

-all of the trolls have black hair so anyone here that doesn't dyes it

-all of the trolls wear their zodiac or extended zodiac symbol on their clothes, but i really, really could not be bothered to figure out which one all of these people are. So i just drew headshots. I thought of taking the extended zodiac quiz answering the questions as i think each of the characters would based on the color i chose for them but that would take WAAY too long. Feel free to do it urself if u want

-i thought it would be cool if the horns could be utilized more in the design, so i made a version where the characters painted their horns their football teams' color before a match! Could have picked the shadows colors better but whatever

i used a guide to touch up the designs after i already drew them on paper and the HS wiki to check out if my blood color takes were correct.

The sinedd and ugly mei up top were drawn in school

[censorality]

tw // neg rant, poppytwt mentioned, minor x adult ship mentioned

this bitch on a dream smp FANDOM wiki im on is being so fucking stupid i have to post to tumblr on my (kinda) vent blog

this guy is 16 and making a c!tubbo x c!dream fic and calling it off bc he's writing an angst fic

mind you, he's posting this on the fandom wiki, a place filled with other minors

god i havent tuned into the lore and've just heard little tid bits of it but i SWEAR to you c!tubbo was a minor and c!dream was an adult. you already know its fucked up when the ship is like THAT

so im like "well dude c!tubbo's a minor and c!dream's an adult dont u think that sounds a lil wrong??" and HE GOES "well tubbo's like 18-19 around this time in the lore" and im like hello????? what?????

so im like "well a lot of people depict c!tubbo as a minor have u thought about it that way??" and hes like "well its an angst fic its ok!!!!!!"

and im like omg fuck this guy its STUPID AF bc u already implied and said u were shipping them romantically, so i literally dont give a fuck if its an angst fic or not, all i fucking care is that its a MINOR X ADULT SHIP. holy shit

on top of that he uses fundy x dream as an analogy, smth like "dude fundy and dream were shipped together and i thought fundy was canonically like 14!!!" and i said "the fundy x dream bit on the smp WASNT CANON DUDE they were playing as CCs and they were BOTH ADULTS"

anyway i like question his idea of c!tubbo being 18-19 in the smp lore and ask him its confirmed and HE FUCKING GOES "well we dont know his actual age but something tells me he wasnt a kid...."

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT?????/

like ffirst of all i literally said most people depict him as a kid and likely wont see the ship in your eyes so !!!!! second of all its still weird!!!

and he just keeps on pulling excuses and literally ANYTHING that could validate his ship, like bending canon lore n shit. and honestly if the defenses need to take THAT MUCH EFFORT to excuse just leave atp

dont get me wrong, honestly, go ham with ur fan fictions. but holy shit if theyre gonna be poppytwt behavior keep it to yourself and dont let it surface the intenet

gonna end it here bc im fucking blanking bc of everything today and im jus soooo tired fuckk

[the-biscuit-agreement]

So I found a post by @chdarling that was full of questions for writers (because apparently we're weird) and though it might be fun to ask some of my favorite writer mutuals (that I can remember in the next 2 minutes) to answer the questions. There were 40 in total so I've just condensed them into 21. Number 11 is optional.

Have fun :)

What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting?

If you had to give up your keyboard and write your stories exclusively by hand, could you do it? If you already write everything by hand, a) are you a wizard and b) pen or pencil?

What is your writing ritual and why is it cursed?

What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

Do you have any writing superstitions What are they and why are they 100% true?

If you had to write an entire story without either action or dialogue, which would you choose and how would it go?

Do you believe in the old advice to “kill your darlings?” Are you a ruthless darling assassin? What happens to the darlings you murder? Do you have a darling graveyard? Do you grieve?

Do you lend your books to people? Are people scared to borrow books from you? Do you know exactly where all your “lost” books are and which specific friend from school you haven’t seen in twelve years still possesses them? Will you ever get them back?

Do you write in the margins of your books? Dog-ear your pages? Read in the bath? Why or why not? Do you judge people who do these things? Can we still be friends?

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?

Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.

Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end.

If a witch offered you the choice between eternal happiness with your one true love and the ability to finally finish, perfect, and publish your dearest, darlingest, most precious WIP in exactly the way you've always imagined it — which would you choose? You can’t have both sorry, life’s a bitch

How organized are you with your writing? Describe to me your organization method, if it exists. What tools do you use? Notebooks? Binders? Apps? The Cloud?

How do you get into your character’s head? How do you get out? Do you ever regret going in there in the first place?

Who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written?

Who is the most delightful character you’ve ever written?

What is a line from a poem/novel/fanfic etc that you return to from time and time again? How did you find it? What does it mean to you?

Thoughts on the Oxford comma, Go:

What is something about your writing process YOU think is Really Weird? If you are comfortable, please share. If you’re not comfortable, what do you think cats say about us?

What keeps you writing when you feel like giving up?

Thank you for the questions! To stop this post from being massive, the answers are under the cut!

What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting?

I write in Calibri (Body) size 11 which is the default

2. If you had to give up your keyboard and write your stories exclusively by hand, could you do it? If you already write everything by hand, a) are you a wizard and b) pen or pencil?

I have hypermobility so actually find writing things out by hand can be extremely painful as my fingers bend backwards while using a pen. I could do it if I was able to take several months to get the muscles in my fingers used to writing with a pen again (I managed it in school) but I definitely would struggle for a bit.

3. What is your writing ritual and why is it cursed?

I lie on my bedroom floor while I am writing. It's not really a ritual but I think it is pretty cursed.

4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

I don't think I actually have one.

5. Do you have any writing superstitions What are they and why are they 100% true?

I don't have any superstitions.

6. If you had to write an entire story without either action or dialogue, which would you choose and how would it go?

It would probably had to be to write a story without dialogue. I think speech helps a lot but so much of communication is non-verbal. I don't think it would go well though

7. Do you believe in the old advice to “kill your darlings?” Are you a ruthless darling assassin? What happens to the darlings you murder? Do you have a darling graveyard? Do you grieve?

While I wouldn't describe myself as ruthless, I do tend to kill my darlings when it comes to storylines. I always come up with far too many ideas and often need to streamline. But I keep them all somewhere in case I can steal elements for other stories.

8. Do you lend your books to people? Are people scared to borrow books from you? Do you know exactly where all your “lost” books are and which specific friend from school you haven’t seen in twelve years still possesses them? Will you ever get them back?

I have a very unique reading taste amongst my family so no one ever wants to borrow my books. That being said, I did give my dad a book from my collection to read because I really thought he would enjoy it and I have yet to get it back (I am also yet to see him reading it)

9. Do you write in the margins of your books? Dog-ear your pages? Read in the bath? Why or why not? Do you judge people who do these things? Can we still be friends?

I definitely don't judge people who write in the margins of books or dog-ear pages but I personally don't do it. For the dog-earing of pages, I just find that it makes the books not close properly. As for writing, my handwriting is terrible and it feels like an affront to the author if I leave my scrawl over the page.

10. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?

I once, very briefly, used a bit of Victorian clay pipe as a bookmark because it was the only thing I had to hand. For a while, I used a promotional picture from the 1970s BBC Narnia TV show. Most commonly I use receipts, train tickets or bookmarks that I make from kits I get in my cross stitch magazines.

11. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.

The current WIP is Policy 8 but I am planning on writing a story about the backstory of Donald and Celia Lockwood at some point so I can tell you that the Karims were not quite talented enough to become agents although Mr Karim did work as a sensitive for a time. He and Mrs Karim married by choice and believed they were not capable of producing someone powerful enough to become an agent until George came along.

12. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end.

I am going to talk about the opening of Battle Ready but I won't copy the passage here because it would make this post insanely long.

The fic was writing shortly after it was announced that Lockwood and Co had been cancelled which kinda gives a backdrop to the entire fic and I was heavily thinking about things ending. I hate the endings of stories particularly. I like stories that end with a 'they're still out there fighting' sort of message, rather than having people walking away from an adventure, and I felt like that would stand true for the members of Lockwood and Co. Fighting ghosts was their lives. From the moment they were born that was their reality. And although the Problem isn't immediately fixed, it just seemed like their heroics would be the same as them getting a promotion to some management position that stops you from doing the same thing you loved from the very beginning. I wanted to capture that frustration, that feeling like something had been lost. The introduction was originally going to focus on Lucy and then switch to Lockwood for the action but I thought it made a lot more sense to just stick with Lockwood throughout because the only difference between their feelings would be that Lockwood would feel them more intensely.

13. If a witch offered you the choice between eternal happiness with your one true love and the ability to finally finish, perfect, and publish your dearest, darlingest, most precious WIP in exactly the way you've always imagined it — which would you choose? You can’t have both sorry, life’s a bitch

I think it would be eternal happiness with my one true love. Simply because even if my WIPs aren't coming out completely perfectly, I will have someone there to help me handle the frustration.

14. How organized are you with your writing? Describe to me your organization method, if it exists. What tools do you use? Notebooks? Binders? Apps? The Cloud?

I am pretty chaotic really. I try to write for my on going projects once a day and have a to do list including all of my jobs, including writing ones. For fanfictions, I publish on this pattern: Connections - Policy 8 - Lies between the lines - Policy 8 - Going to end badly - Policy 8 - Miraculous - Policy 8 (Policy 8 gets so much attention because it is just so stupidly long)

15. How do you get into your character’s head? How do you get out? Do you ever regret going in there in the first place?

I don't think I really do much. I more just imagine I am watching a TV show with them on and if something happens that doesn't seem right I just know in my gut it's not right because I know these characters, I've been 'watching' them for ages. I also am autistic which makes writing for George very easy.

16. Who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written?

I think villains in general cause me a lot of stress. You need them to have clear motivations but also motivations that aren't too justified if you want the side in the right to be obvious. And you need their schemes to have no obvious flaws or else they are defeated too easily. But I think the most stress villains cause me is how far they will go. I always worry that I am going to get carried away with the villain's cruelty and then someone is going to read my fic and be like 'okay, this is definitely not teen level of violence'. It was especially something that came up when writing A night to remember because it features such a young child in a dangerous situation.

17. Who is the most delightful character you’ve ever written?

Ace from Nancy Drew is a delight to write for. He's witty, emotionally intelligent, self-aware. The only thing he wouldn't do to help his friends is take the most obvious course of action so you get to write him doing some really bizarre things.

18. What is a line from a poem/novel/fanfic etc that you return to from time and time again? How did you find it? What does it mean to you?

'There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.' It's a quote from the Voyage of the Dawn Treader which has always stuck with me. I read the Narnia books pretty late - when I was in my late teens - and I was already writing a lot. And I had been writing a lot of first person stuff because I felt that was the only way it was acceptable to include witty interludes by the author. That quote has kinda come to embody the tongue in cheek, meandering metaphors and monologues way I want to write.

19. Thoughts on the Oxford comma, Go:

One of those things that everyone laughs about people not understanding but no one really bothers to teach.

20. What is something about your writing process YOU think is Really Weird? If you are comfortable, please share. If you’re not comfortable, what do you think cats say about us?

I am terrible at remembering little details like the birthdays of characters and hair colours and eye colours so I have been making a series of index cards for my most recent book in the hope of keeping it all straight. (Cats also think they are constantly getting one over on us by getting to live in our warm homes and eat our foods. They don't know how inherently lonely it is to be a human and how much their company means.)

21. What keeps you writing when you feel like giving up?

Peer pressure. And the feeling that the story deserves to be told and if no one else is going to do it my subpar writing will have to do.

OBSESSED w bratty dauphin pierre and este “why r we here if only to suffer” ban

pls my liege I crave a morsel more of lore

from my DMs to @beparwah96 at 4am, to your dash:

pierre was never meant to be king. youngest, spoiled little prince, off gallivanting getting bitches drinking wine in another kingdom. The king goes crazy — spends too much or starts wars or taxes crazy and the regular people are suffering. His brothers start a rebellion against the king -- and lose. pierre is crowned king. he fully believes in the divine right of kings and that he's entitled to all of it, despite being totally unfit to rule. think nicholas hoult from The Great if you've seen it. he's very, oh why are the poors hungry just let them eat cake.

the rebel faction leaders are to be executed. amongst them, pierre recognises his childhood friend, son of blacksmith, who had dreams of being a royal knight. taller than now, than pierre ever remembers, broader too -- A Man, fit to be a knight, but the telltale buckteeth. a confidence to him despite being so lowborn, looking straight ahead instead of at pierre. pierre halts -- "esteban?" if he had begged for forgiveness in that moment and kissed his feet, pierre would have. pierre likes to think of himself a benevolent ruler. esteban does not do any of that.

pierre pulls him by his hair and says they'll make a example out of their leader.

pierre's very cosmopolitan. he did a summer abroad in Greece, and is very intrigued by Zeus' way of doing things and so:

esteban is made to wear a tunic that covers barely anything and bear pierre's cup at feasts and meetings with dignitaries and whenever pierre needs his cup refilled basically. to show what a loyal ~~pet~~ servant to the crown their once rousing traitor of a leader has become.

the moneyshot:

esteban bending over to pour pierre's wine, and freezing when pierre runs his hand up his bare exposed thigh.

[wetbloodworm]

updated this reference sheet for dnd au charlie and i’m gonna use it as a place to talk about them in dnd au! i don’t have their lore fully fleshed out but i’m impatient. they’re a little bit stylized here and i feel like their face shape isn’t totally right but it’s fine it gets the point across

so as i’ve shown before, charlie in dnd au is a changeling! i used to have them as a tiefling with the middle design here being what they looked like, and here’s a pic i did in early 2021

i picked tiefling b/c i used to be a tiefling gay, and while in a way i still am i’ve also spread my love more to other species. and also changeling just feels more Correct for charlie the more i learn about them. so, changeling. but the tiefling form is their preferred mask. charlie prefers their natural form over any mask and will usually look like a changeling, but if they’re gonna be something else they’ll pick the tiefling form first. sunny, meanwhile, is their mask for when they’re actively trying to hide who or what they are for whatever reason, but it’s not serious enough to just completely make up something on the fly. for instance, sometimes people are shitty to changelings but they’re also shitty to tieflings... those people are often less likely to bitch if a human shows up, so. sunny comes out. charlie will aggressively deny that they’re the same person as sunny, partly to keep the integrity of the disguise, and partly because it’s funny to them

let’s do a little more art before getting to lore, where there will be a little more art

another tief charlie! they’re just cute and i love them. their tief mask looks fairly similar to their natural form because charlie likes how they look and they feel most comfortable when they look like that.

here’s the first pic i did of charlie when i decided they’d be a changeling .i swear there’s like one WOTC art of a changeling not having a mouth and that cursed me for life. i also saw some art with a changeling with the dark circles around their eyes and i’ve also just absorbed that. in colored pieces i also rarely outline their irises and have them colored specifically so that the iris is kinda hard to see.

changelings gotta give themselves mouths to speak verbally, and charlie also gives themself a mouth frequently to emphasize their facial expressions. wanted to have them making some faces here, so. this is also a great example of how i never fucking remember which ear piercings they have. i know there’s three but i always forget if it’s two on top one on bottom or vice versa.

sunny! forgot what color i made their eyebrows. it’s fine.

one more, just drew this but i wanted to include it b/c i like it

okay, onto lore

to start, lets drop their character sheet! here’s them at level 10, and here’s them at level 20.

they start off as a rogue before picking up as a sorcerer. sorcerer is not really a class that you can just choose to be one day from my understanding so uh. that’s probably fine

anyway i don’t know exactly how it goes down, but charlie has a run-in with a mindflayer. basically they get a mindflayer tadpole implanted in their head with the intent to put them through ceremorphosis. mindflayers typically use mind blast on their victims before starting the procedure, and charlie WAS stunned, but i know they manage to get away shortly after implantation. my current idea is that my girl magali (pictured below) helps out, because i was trying to brainstorm how this would all work and magali has reality-bending powers in her canon. i like the idea of her being like a demigod type of being in dnd au, so she’s able to get charlie away to safety. don’t know what she was doing in the area, maybe specifically hunting mindflayers and charlie just lucked out.

(need to give her some szuldar, she’s supposed to be a fire genasi)

once they’re safe from the adult mindflayer, magali goes to wake charlie up from the mind blast, which is. a mistake. because there is a tadpole in their skull starting to eat their brain. it hasn’t gotten very far along by this point but i feel like ANY stage of that process has to be incredibly painful. so charlie’s panicked and in a huge amount of pain and magali doesn’t always know how to handle high stress situations so she’s flustered and oh gods what is she supposed to do. the only way she’s heard of to kill the tadpoles at this stage is to fucking crush or incinerate the host’s head and then resurrect the host. but that’s... not something she’s done before, and that’s. a lot, actually. that’s a horrible thing to have to do and she’s not usually that squeamish but that’s a LOT actually!!

i get murky here again because i don’t know exactly what magali does, and i don’t like not knowing things, but she basically manages to paralyze the tadpole instead of killing it. this is one reason why i wanted magali in this position, and for her to be a demigod, she can do shit i don’t need to come up with specific spells for. it’s FINE. when charlie is still in pain, she dumps a ton of healing into them to try to fix it. maybe some form of something like the regenerate spell? basically what ends up happening is that charlie’s brain heals, but the tadpole is still in there and pretty stuck in their brain now.

i don’t have specific plot points figured out beyond that, but charlie isn’t unaffected by the partial ceremorphosis.

love me some eye imagery. that eye, which is where the tadpole was inserted, is the only visible ‘scar’ from the process. i don’t care if it doesn’t make sense since the physical changes don’t occur until after the brain-eating is complete, i don’t CARE i want a physical reminder of the trauma!! so there it is!! also w-shaped pupil like a cuttlefish. charlie ends up just shifting to hide the eye most of the time, because they don’t want questions and they don’t want to look at it.

a more concerning effect is that eventually the tadpole starts psychically communicating with them. i don’t know exactly how it stays alive, maybe it got far enough in the process to latch on and it still acts as a parasite, just less lethally than it normally would because it can’t move, only survive. anyway, mostly it says stuff to antagonize them and try to get them to find a way to reverse the paralysis and let it just do its thing. just let it take over. it can do so much more, be so much more. it DESERVES to have their body. it’s MEANT to. sometimes it just transmits images of, y’know, Horrors, whatever terrible thing it can get from its connection to the elder brain. just angrily causes psychic damage every now and then. it can only do so much and talk so much because while it’s physically alive it’s not getting the psychic energy it’d get from its preferred diet of brains (that charlie SO CRUELLY refuses to eat), and can only sap off bits of energy from charlie at a time.

there’s a few other effects, like charlie needing to eat more and having weird food cravings because parasite. they also develop a weird anxiety about being out in the sun as well as a sensitivity to bright lights in their bad eye. also increased sensitivity to sounds, not in that they could hear any better but that sounds overwhelmed them even more than their autistic ass was already used to. frequent headaches are also a thing.

the good thing to come from this was magic, though! charlie became a sorcerer after the Incident. aberrant mind sorcerer, specifically. having magic IS pretty cool, they would’ve just liked to get it a different way.

i know charlie’s goal in this au is to, understandably, remove and kill the tadpole, all the while terrified that something is going to break its paralysis. which isn’t helped by the tadpole repeatedly telling them that it’s going to break the paralysis. they’ve got magali fucking annihilating their head as a backup plan should they suddenly feel movement and intense pain, but they’d, y’know, prefer to avoid dying even temporarily.

that’s about all i’ve got, but ye! there we go. post done.

"You come from nothing. You're nothing... but not to me. Join me,” he said. Rey never felt so low. She never felt so crushed. Her hopes. Her life. Her faith. Kylo extended his hand towards her. “Please,” he whispered. Rey looked at him. His puppy eyes. So desperate. His face. The drop of sweat on his chin. Suddenly, she felt something. A thought. A revelation. An enlightenment. He begs her. He asks her. She could feel force and light coming to her with waves. She felt calmness like never before. Her knee bended almost by itself. She looked up at his hand in the air. And then she looked in his eyes. He is never going to change. Never. There is no Ben. There never fucking was. No more. There is only war. The war that has to be won. She closed her eyes and exhaled. She was already trained, she could control her breath and heart rate. She ordered her body to relax. She was focused. “I need a Master,” she said and opened her eyes.
