#but funnily enough some elements live on in cursed bodies

[erigold13261]

⭐️ for any fave OCs?

"⭐️ Tell us about your favourite OCs!"

I would say my top favourite OCs are Ilia (if you count him, which I do lol), Ilma, and Bunny at the moment! Mainly just because of their designs and they all seem really pretty to me!

I think I've talked enough about Ilia with little fun facts and stuff, but one thing I did notice is how his JJK and Eriverse versions are kinda opposite in their loves! Where in JJK (especially his OG universe), he was dating humans but falling in love with curses, and in the Eriverse he is a robot dating entities but falling in love with humans!

Oh! Also! I don't know if this is something I will still have in Ilia's story, but when he was reborn into the OG JJK universe, he found a curse to love who was killed by Sukuna. Ilia has never forgiven this, and resents OG Sukuna to this day and constantly compares this Sukuna to his own Sukuna from his original universe.

If I do go with this idea, I might have that curse be a version of Hanami's soul that would later get reincarnated into the Hanami we know and love today! Which is why Hanami is the weakest of all the disaster curses as her soul had the least amount of time to gather cursed energy over centuries before forming.

(Also, seeing your loved one die twice kinda kills the hope of love between people, which is why Ilia started to get more attached to Dagon instead of Hanami again).

For Ilma, one of the most known facts about her is that she is related to Tatiana through Tatiana's maternal side! She is also able to turn her body into flames for a short amount of time, sorta like a teleport or dash that she can do.

She is left handed! And she makes a living off of sword fighting tournaments! She actually ends up meeting Tatiana because of a sword fighting tournament held in Vinyl City. I can't remember which character was also in this competition, it was either Purl or Cyril, and Tatiana came to give moral support, and there she met Ilma.

At some point she is going to become a teacher at Jujutsu Tech and be the one who teaches the students how to fight with weapons, especially Miwa (as well as teaching Miwa how to control her new elemental body after being transfigured).

I kinda see Ilma being a much more kind Kusakabe in the Eriverse (Kusakabe is still here and also a teacher still). Though both are very much super cowardly and not really willing to risk their lives until it really matters.

And finally, Bunny! I think she was my first real OC that I actually fell in love with and developed more than a simple backstory to a design! Like I would just make a character and never draw them again, but then Bunny just kept being drawn over and over. I love her so much! She's so fucking pretty to me lol.

She's a professional piercer and has a friend who does all her tattoos (I should make them an OC too probably lol). She can also be a bitch to people that piss her off, but otherwise she's chill and plays things pretty straight forward.

I know between her and Rei, one of them has a family that disowned them for being trans, but I can't remember which one it was. Just checked, it was both! So yea, neither have contact with their own families, which is good as their families were shit.

Her favourite color is orange, but funnily enough she hates gold jewelry (which is kinda orange/yellow). She will only wear silver jewelry or orange jewelry like gauges (but for the most part she only wears silver and orange gauges with a little bunny head hanging from the gauge itself).

And obviously if you couldn't tell by her name and design, she fucking loves bunnies. Her absolute favourite animal! I even made her canon fursona a Himalayan Rabbit! (and also drawn her as a sea bunny). She just really loves anything bunny/rabbit related :3

(1) Draco, Harry, Hermione & Ron (aged 23) all are working on a case. Harry & Ron are Aurors. Draco & Hermione are both Healers & Unspeakables. The case is something like a bunch of Death Eater wannabes trying to resurrect the dark lord. So while busting in on their ritual all 4 are transported to their younger bodies at different times. Draco (5), Ron (7), Hermione (9), Harry (11) (The day before Hagrid comes to fetches him.)

(2) Harry and Draco were married so they use a phrase to each other so the other knows that they're the other and then plan a meet in the Room of Requirements. After confirming that Ron and Hermione (Married) are who they are too they go to the meet too. While each playing the roles they had the first time around. They then work out a plan for the war (Since Draco hasn't found a way back they plan to change things).

(3) Draco needs to play the bully/death eater and work to save the lives of the war victims. While Harry, Ron and Hermione work out the horcrux ect. Befor and during the war they secretly work to make preperations and stuff to minimize the damage while also playing their parts as school rivals. And they manage to minimize the deaths and they manage to save a lot of familiar faces. Sirius, Remus, Tonks, George ect.

(4) So after Harry kills Voldemort (He had an argument with Draco cuz Draco was worried he wouldn't come back this time) they're in the grand hall and everyone just sees the golden trio going to Draco with smiles. Ron gives him a handshake, Hermione a Hug, and shockingly Harry kisses him infront of everyone (Draco's parents are like "WTF?") And says "Told you i wouldn't die." "Shut up you bloody git". (In my head its a long fic with a LOT of stuff added. I just wanna know how you'd write this)

 Mmh, yes this would be a long plotty fic, so I won’t detail the structure, just some of the elements I would use to build it.

First, I would have them go back to exactly one month before they turn 11. There is a very nice symmetry there and we avoid having Draco too long in his child’s body. An adult Draco in a 5-year-old body would be terrifying. Lucius would just flee the country.

So they go back to 11 minus one month. Harry and Draco have 1-2 summer months to get settled and start figuring things out, Ron gets around 7 months to think about family dynamics and draft a plan to contact his friends. Hermione has a whole year plus change to rage, study and come up with a definite plan to Get Things Right.

There is a beautiful tense scene as they board the train, because Harry and Ron don’t know if their friend is their old self or their young self. They are both very cautious around each other until Harry notices the way Ron looks at Scabbers and he knows. It just takes a couple of loaded comments afterwards to recognize each other.  

Hermione barges in their compartment in her usual way and they have to drop some very heavy hints to remind her they are not alone. They can’t spook Pettigrew.  Draco comes by, stares at Harry in silence for a whole minute and then passes him a note saying he can’t find the diary and also he ordered Dobby to go serve Harry, he should be waiting in Hogwarts. It is unclear whether Draco knows this Harry is the old Harry because Draco is, and has always been, kind of odd. It took them a while to discover it, but Draco is just a bunch or random powerful ideas held together with anxiety and fire. Harry loves him so much.

They go to Hogwarts. You would think that in this timeline Harry would be the most belligerent/hostile of them, but it is actually Hermione. Hermione is a nightmare student. She has a list of one hundred and fifty names and she is going to save all of them (except maybe Dumbledore and Snape). She has no time nor attention to waste in silly classes telling her what she already knows. She only comes to class sporadically, aces all her tests and hands out beautiful neat homework that barely took ten minutes out of her day to complete. Teachers hate her (or heavily dislike her), but they can’t expel her. It’s beautiful. The twins develop a crush on her.  

Harry waits patiently until Christmas so Dumbledore can gift him the Invisibility Cloak and then announces that he is not going back to the Dursleys. Dumbledore insists. Harry says softly “by Jove, I will not” and Dumbledore thinks about that exchange for a week. He forgets about it when ten days later there is an incident in Transfiguration class and McGonagall discovers that Ron’s pet rat Scabbers is actually Peter Pettigrew.

(They were going to wait until Quirrell tried to steal the philosopher’s. Hermione insisted they couldn’t deviate too much of the original timeline or they would lose their advantage of knowing what was going to happen. If something was going to change, it was better to attach it to some other important event.

But Harry pointed out that it would be much easier to keep Sirius alive if he had some extra months of freedom and he didn’t have to live as a fugitive and Ron was certain that they would be fine even if they changed everything. It wasn’t just their knowledge of the events to come, it was their knowledge, period, their experience.

Ron is a man now, and adult, and he is kind of freaked out at the shenanigans they did when they were merely children. What were they thinking? Was there no competent adult to point out that were kids? It shouldn’t be up to them to rescue Sirius or Buckbeak, what in the seven hells.)

Anyway, Sirius is freed and Dumbledore is forced to explain everything about prophecies and love magic and blood protection early, because Harry insists he is going to live with Sirius. Harry agrees to go back to the Dursleys for two weeks, but Sirius has to come with him and no, he will not come as a dog, that’s demeaning. He will spend his time at the Dursleys as a human, thank you very much.

Sirius is the first adult to realize that there is something not quite right about Harry. The others had noticed that Harry was… special. But Sirius is the first one to see through, although he doesn’t know what he is seeing exactly.

Lucius still uses the Diary against the Weasleys, but this time Ron picks it up. Their first week back in Hogwarts, they all go for a nice excursion down to the Basilisk lair. They bring the Diadem, too. Harry speaks to the Basilisk and both horcruxes are destroyed.

The rest of the year is spent plotting. Draco takes on the role of the bully and plays it up to hilarious heights. He picks on everyone, and that’s everyone, except Neville and Luna. Funnily, Cedric Diggory is a big fan of him and always answers to Draco’s banter.

Draco suggests having a Duel Club to Lockhart. There has been no student attacks, of course, but Lockhart loves the idea and Draco wants the opportunity to fight Harry and make ridiculously sexually charged comments. They have five very nice duelling sessions until the curse of the DADA post acts up and professor Lockhart is unavailable the rest of the year.

(Harry tutors everyone in his year so this time people will actually now how to cast a protego. Ginny comes to the classes too and is by far his best student).

That summer, Ron has a very long chat with Percy explaining everything. Ron is now eight years older than Percy and understand why his brother fell to the Ministry and rejected his family. The Weasleys had pushed him that way, hadn’t they? Ron also understands that suddenly being nice to Percy and giving him recognition won’t work. It’s too late. But telling Percy they come from another timeline in which Fred died gets Percy’s attention immediately. Percy spends a whole weekend freaking out in silence (nobody notices, of course, and boy is Ron appalled at his family dynamics). Come Monday, Percy emerges relatively calm, all things considered. He has given himself a haircut and is resolved to infiltrate the Ministry.  

The locket is destroyed that summer. They let Sirius and Kreacher do it.

They were hoping to have all horcruxes down before Voldemort rose back, but Pettigrew escapes Azkaban and Voldemort comes back a year ahead of schedule. (Early 4th year).

Dumbledore locates the ring. Despite warnings from all of them (and Snape) he still puts the ring on and gets a curse for it. Hermione says if he is going to be like that, she will take him from her To-Save list.

Barely eight months after Voldemort comes back to power, the Ministry is full of his followers. For now, Voldemort is happy with acting from the shadows, but soon he will want more and the four of them want to avoid open war as much as possible.

Percy sends Ron Helga’s cup, broken. Ron asks how he did it in case they ever find themselves in a similar situation (new timeline and all), but Percy only says that he asked politely. That means there are only two (two? Or is it one?) horcruxes remaining. Draco decides to speed things up, before Voldemort stars his terror campaign. He tells his father than Dumbledore has a mysterious ring with an interesting crest and that’s enough to have Voldemort attack Hogwarts with all his might.

It may not seem like a good idea, but if you think about it it’s much better to have dark wizards try to take over a castle than over a cottage where a half-blood family lives. Plus, now they don’t have to sweep Britain looking for Nagini. They can see her perfectly well down in the grounds trying and failing to eat Hagrid.

The battle draws on and almost becomes a siege. The Ministry comes to help, only they help Voldemort’s side, what with being infiltrated and all.

It’s still preferable to the years of the war.

Sirius has been put under a careful and insistent treatment of “Sirius, no”, so he actually stops when he is told to, he doesn’t follow Pettigrew to a trap and he isn’t killed by Bellatrix. Well done, Sirius! Another advantage of Sirius surviving, beyond the fact that he survived, yay, is that he gets to save Snape when Voldemort decides he might not be a good double spy after all. Snape hates the idea of owing his life to Sirius. It is very entertaining.

Neville kills Bellatrix Lestrange. Luna kills Nagini (and feels bad for it, and cries, sweet Luna, may she always have a soft heart). Peter Pettigrew dies in a freak accident in which both the giant squid and the twins are involved. Cedric Diggory bullies seven Ministry wizards into switching sides.

Things are going good. There are many wounded, more than the last time, but no dead, not on their side.

Harry knows he will have to die, again. And it will have to be Voldemort. He can’t risk having anyone else cast the curse (would they even meant it?). They have changed so many things… They can’t be sure that all those changes won’t coalesce in this one instant in time. They can’t be sure that Harry will make it back.

But Harry still goes, because that’s what he has to do. He tries to make things as similar as possible, act the same way, say the same things. Maybe having Sirius and Moody and Tonks and Lupin alive and well and fighting won’t matter if Harry just follows the script on this.

But just in case it will matter, just in case Harry doesn’t come back this time, he throws some ad lib.

“Hey, Tom,” Harry says, holding his thumb between his index and middle finger. “I’ve got your nose.”

Well, at least he can be sure that Voldemort means it when he cast the curse.

 The honour of killing Voldemort falls on Hagrid this time. It isn’t pretty.

And Harry comes back. Draco forgives him just for having said that line.

Theory: The Irony of Vaati, Part Twenty-two: Sassy or Spoiled?

Well, I was digging around on some old, old forums, and this random one had a discussion about Vaati. And this one guy actually said, and I quote, his opinion on Vaati: "He's more flat than a Coke that's been lying around for eons, and that's all we know".

So, that got me to thinking: is this guy, to some extent, right? Do we truly know nothing about Vaati? How much DO we know?

LIST OF KNOWN THINGS 1. Part of childhood We know that he was born a Minish in the Minish Realm (but EXACTLY where is a different question). We do know nothing about his parents, but we do know that he was Ezlo's apprentice (and it is heavily implied, due to said missing parents, that Ezlo also raised him). He looked differently than the other Minish, who had peachy skin tones, black eyes, and wore mostly green. Vaati was white as a sheet of paper, had red eyes, and was LITERALLY THE ONLY MINISH IN THE ENTIRE GAME TO WEAR PURPLE. And on top of that, none of the other Minish wear purple ACCESSORIES, either! It is heavily implied that Vaati had some self-esteem issues (that most likely lead into his Superiority Complex that I mentioned in Part Eighteen of this theory series), but whether or not the Minish ostracised him for his appearance is unknown. In fact, going by what we know about Minish society, it seems likely that differences would be ENCOURAGED, since their entire society is based entirely around happiness! Now that I think of it, it seems that the more unique your appearance is, the higher up you are in Minish terms- for the Elders (Gentari and Librari), Priest (Festari), Master (Melari), and Sage (Ezlo) are all higher-ups that look different from the lower-level Minish, who basically all look identical. If that was the case, maybe Vaati was ostracised (if at all) for wanting to be a lowly apprentice instead of something "better" like a Priest, for example. Or this could just be the game making all the important characters have unique appearances so that the plot can be advanced more easily. I don't know. Some time before the Minish Door opened for it's once-a-century thing, Ezlo crafted a cap that could grant the wishes of its wearer: the Magic Hat and planned to give it to the humans. Once leaving it unattended/unguarded, Vaati sneaked in and stole the cap, transfiguring himself into a Hylian sorcerer and cursing Ezlo into a bird-hat form. He then leaves to seek the Light Force, growing himself to human size, and enrolling himself in the Sword-Fighting Tournament at the Picori Festival.

2. Events of "The Minish Cap" Vaati participates in the yearly Sword-Fighting Tournament in Hyrule, besting everybody he fought, and wins it all single-handedly. Once presented with the opportunity to touch the Picori Blade, Vaati instead uses it to snap the thing like a twig, knock some guards out, and let all the monsters that were trapped inside the Bound Chest out to reek havoc (okay, that last part was an accident). He discovers that the Bound Chest does not contain the Light Force like he thought (and it's implied that he did extensive research on the thing, too!), but does notice that Princess Zelda has some sort of "light" power herself. Rather than take her for her power, he turns her to stone so that she cannot interfere with his search. He also knocks Link out as well. He resurfaces later to mock Ezlo (who teamed up with Link to fix the Picori Blade, eventually changing it into the Four Sword), and that is when the truth of him being a Minish and Ezlo's apprentice who stole the Magic Hat and cursed Ezlo is revealed to Link. He disguises himself as King Daltus for a while (yes, disguises; this will be further addressed in a later part of this theory series) and orders the guards to seek the Light Force. Anyone who does not comply gets thrown into the dungeon along with this entire family. The guards are either terrified of what "Daltus" has become, or are questioning his sanity. And then at the end of the game, after watching Link and Ezlo enter the Elemental Sanctuary so many times, it finally dawns on him that Zelda's "power of the light" was actually the Light Force, so he goes and kidnaps her statufied self and puts on what basically amounts to a sacrificial ceremony to drain her of her power. By the time Link and Ezlo arrive to stop him, he's gotten a pretty decent amount of the Light Force out of Zelda and uses it transform himself into a much, much taller version of himself that he calls Vaati Reborn. He fights Link, and after his body gets shattered, he somehow still lives (it might be the Light Force's doing, since Zelda would completely die if all of it had been zapped from her, so why wouldn't it work the same for Vaati?) and becomes the floating eyeball abomination known as Vaati Transfigured. Link, of course, defeats this form, restores Zelda to flesh, takes her by the hand, and he, Ezlo, and the Princess flee towards the Elemental Sanctuary. Vaati nearly strikes them down with what appears to be lightning, and then whisks Link away to battle one last time. So consumed with anger and fury that his ultimate form is called Vaati's Wrath. With the power of the Four Sword, Link takes him down and seals him in it, leaving the Magic Hat behind on the floor. He takes the hat and Ezlo's curse is broken. Ezlo gives the hat to Zelda and tells her to combine her powers with it to undo all the evil things that Vaati either did or inadvertently caused. She does, and the Magic Hat is ripped to shreds in the process, destroying it. Ezlo then shrinks back down to Minish size and returns to the Minish Realm.

3. Events of "Four Swords" Vaati has been sealed in the Four Sword for a very long time, long enough to be considered a "legend". Once this version of Princess Zelda checks on the seal to make sure it's still holding, Vaati pops out of nowhere and kidnaps her to be his bride. This leaves the resident-Link to draw the Four Sword and be split into four equal copies of himself, the only thing different being the tunic colours. Vaati chills out in his "Palace of Winds": a castle in the sky that he built for himself (funnily enough, Vaati himself calls it the "Palace of Winds", but the game refers to it as "Vaati's Palace"), waiting for any possible opposition. The Four Links arrive to fight, and Vaati possesses a statue of himself to fight them, but they manage to outsmart him by using his own wind powers against him (seriously; bombs + your tornado does not = success there, Vaati). He is presumed to be defeated, but it is soon revealed that the Links only busted the statue and not Vaati, so he swoops back in for another fight. The victory goes to the Links, and Vaati is unceremoniously sucked back into the Four Sword. The Links rescue Zelda and are returned to being one single Link.

AND... 4. The events of "Four Swords Adventures" Vaati busts out of the Four Sword again. He is re-sealed by an Unknown Hero. The resident-Zelda, resident-Link, and the Six Shrine Maidens go to check on the seal. Too bad, Vaati broke out. AGAIN. Vaati then kidnaps Zelda while Shadow Link (who was created by GANON) kidnaps the Six Maidens and locks them up around the map. The Four Links rescue the Maidens and go to fight Vaati who is, once again, chilling up in the Palace of Winds. They defeat him, killing him FOR GOOD this time, and get Zelda out of there. Ganon jumps in, "Surprise, I'm actually the villain here!" and the Links in-turn seal HIM into the Four Sword. The Four Sword is then returned to the Four Sword Sanctuary and has not been seen or wielded since.

With that out of the way, we do know QUITE A BIT about Vaati. If anything, the only parts that we are missing are most of his childhood and how/why he decided to make the Palace of Winds his dwelling place.

AND NOW, A RELATED SUBJECT! Was Vaati sassy or a spoiled brat? Let's compare.

SASSINESS 1. Disobeyed Ezlo He stole the Magic Hat that Ezlo made for the Hylians.

2. Turned a bunch of people to stone Starting with Princess Zelda, and then King Daltus, then pretty much everybody who worked in Hyrule Castle.

3. Narcissistic Called himself "the greatest sorcerer alive" even though it was EZLO'S MAGIC THAT HE WAS USING!

BRATTINESS 1. Disobeyed Ezlo Uh... Yeah. This works for both.

2. Sought out the Light Force And was willing to kill Zelda to get it, too.

3. Turned a bunch of people to stone Hey, wait a second...

Vaati is equally SASSY and a SPOILED BRAT. That was really hard to say, but indeed- our dear Vaati is both quite a bit sassy and spoiled. I was not expecting this outcome at all.
