#but hes blind. thats all that changes and it changes nothing and also everything

[maskyartist]

add this to the list of goofy ass personal aus for me and me alone

au where everythings the same but Ozpin's blind thats all

[snailsrneat]

Okay but can we as a community start talking about Yuu snapping? Because like, I know every twst fan has thought about that moment.

That moment where everything, every single mask, every unfulfilled promise, every bridge made, everything. Is burnt to the ground by our hands, and we're left to stand in the middle of it all. Like being in the eye of a hurricane. Everything around you is destroyed, but you're left unscathed. For now, that is.

I also wanna talk about other characters reaction to the snap. We all know the first years, including Sebek who has his reservations, would be heartbroken and distraught at the sight of Yuu in a blind rage. Destroying all that comes close.

I think that's also what could cause Grim to overblot, he tries stopping Yuu or protecting them from the onslaught of other students magic and in turn he snaps too. Turning into an angry beast eager to destroy just like his master.

But also think about the people Yuu helped through their overblots. While Yuu isn't the closest to the overblot boys, I can't help but imagine that all of them held Yuu in high regard. So seeing Yuu snap like thats makes them think that all the work they did, all they progress they made, all the times they tried to change, it was for nothing. Because if someone as good as Yuu was unable to save themselves from a snap, who are they?

I could just be picking straws, but I think if Yuu ever actually snapped, it be a chain reaction if events that would lead the future of N.R.C. six feet under.

Just a thought...

This is gonna sound SOOO off or smthn but

Was the Perfect Family Harmony planned to be a weapon against the Bergens?

Long post ahead bc brain is rotting

Ok so as we know, the Perfect Family Harmony is smthn that's so powerful that its capable of shattering diamonds. Not just that but its one of the only thing capable of doing so(according to Floyd it was the only thing but giving the benefit of the doubt)

So we know its strong, and we saw it blasting off Velvet and Veneer off their platforms when they performed it, and they weren't even the targets, they were blasted away by just the shockwave that came with using it.

"Its that powerful."

Ok, so its definitely powerful enough to be used as a weapon right? Yeah it was relatively safe enough to use in front of a crowd, else they wouldn't have tried to do it during a concert, but that could just be when those harmonizing aren't targeting anything.

If it could shatter diamonds, how easily could it break cages? What would it do if it was used to target a Bergen? A whole Kingdom of Bergens?

Lets also go back to that concert, to that time John was obsessed with them getting it right. They were in the Troll tree, in Bergentown, a place where any of them could die during Trollstice. The Bergens were a huge threat, something that trolls, at their size, couldn't fight back against normally so they had to run instead right?

But what if they COULD fight back? What if they had a weapon so powerful that it might finally be able to free them? To defeat the monsters that tortured their kind for centuries?

What if John Dory found a way to help make sure nothing would threaten his brothers' safety ever again?

Like, it'd make John Dory's obsession make SOOO MUCH MORE SENSE

Like yea he clearly has OCD and anxiety and some bossiness and that definitely added to it all, but imagine if it was more than that?

Look at him during that performance. He was in deep. He had a wild look in his eyes, a sort of deranged obsession to have everything be perfect no matter what. It wasn't healthy, it was scary, maybe even downright terrifying for his brothers who had to be subjected to it.

But you know what else he looked like?

Terrified

Man was scared out of his mind. His anxiety and stress levels were through the roof. He probably was one wrong tune away from hyperventilating.

What if it was bc it was so much more than the fans? What if he put the salvation of the entire troll-kind on his shoulders?

One wrong step meant they were nothing.

One wrong step meant disappointing the fans.

One wrong step meant letting down the kingdom.

One wrong step meant another troll getting eaten.

Thats why when they failed, John blew up. He took all of that self-hatred of failing to use that weapon to defeat the bergens and poured it all onto his brothers.

"I know we can reach the Perfect Family Harmony."

"What if we don't want to."

John Dory, blind to how and WHY his brothers didn't want to follow his lead, felt betrayed.

To him, all he's ever done was to ensure their safety, everything was for the greater good. He'd done everything he could, his goals slowly twisting him into a crazed obsession. To hear his brothers say they didn't want to help anymore might've struck a cord too much. If you'd noticed he actually looked really sad and hurt when they started bringing up how much they hated being in the band, but it slowly twisted to anger instead. Kind of in a like, "I tried doing everything for these shts and THIS is how they repay me???" way. He was so stressed and stuck in his own head with his failures that he just couldn't see what his brothers were trying to say.

So in a fit of impulsive rage, he left. To him it probably was like that rlly childish way of saying "Yea im leaving, good luck dealing with the Bergens while im goneee." You know? Like how kids runaway from home when they get angry or upset over every little thing but come back when they realize how stupid that was?

"Im not allowed to change."

And he DID come back. Who knows how long, but he did. Imagine how he must've felt seeing their empty pod in an empty tree, with the knowledge that he could've done something about it. The Perfect Family Harmony could've saved them. They could've used it to break the cage, to fight the Bergens. Hell, it could've been powerful enough to wipe out all the Bergens if they do so wished.

"Im the oldest, I have to be the leader."

He and his brothers were the only ones who'd ever gotten close to getting it right.

"Why do you think I moved into the middle of nowhere? So I didn't have to be in charge of anyone."

The village was counting on them. Counting on him. He let them down. He failed.

"Freeing the village Four little brothers is a lot of responsibility."

They could've gotten it. If only John did it right. If only John did it differently.

If only John Dory was Perfect

[bloogers-boogers]

Thinking of an au where Lucifer is still the king of hell but in this world Adam was a mere sinner and not the ‘first man’ but the first ‘willingly fallen angel’. People will say wouldn’t that be untrue bc Lucifer yada yada,, but nah, Lucifer didn’t expect to fall, so willingly he didn’t, at least not in this au ~ so anyways…

Adam was never created as a human, he was an angel and had been friends with Lucifer before his fall. They were both seraphim! Though Adam was made a few ranks below Lucifer, God created him as the embodiment of perfection and beauty ~ so all angels admired him for how he looked and was praised by the creator, even Lucifer.

Lucifer at the time never considered Adam as something more than a brother just like all of the other angels they just saw each other like that? The knowledge of romance was an oddity or some type of supernatural feeling no one experienced at the time but God would mention about when it came in describing the first humans.

And they weren’t entirely close either. They were just connected being very pampered and favored by God.

Fast forward to Lucifer already being casted to hell and married to Lilith. They eventually heard of a fallen angel landed in hell (by a deadly sin, I would like to say it was Satan who informed Lucifer of this bc yk that’s a freaking fallen angel). So Lucifer was shocked of this revelation. After all, it’s been like a century since Lucifer and Lilith gathered angels to go against heaven and then be casted to live in hell for the rest of eternity.

When Lucifer tracked the angel down, it took a while until his eyes landed on Adam. Yup. The Seraphim Adam he once knew as the living perfection of God’s hands turned as a sinner.

Once Lucifer helps Adam, picking his unconscious body and taking him to his castle to get heal. Adam wakes up and was greeted with a bomb of questions by both king and queen of hell of why the hell was he here. In this case Adam refuses to tell them why he fell and flees to never be seen.

Leaving Lucifer and Lilith speechless because why, when, how???

Years pases by and the whole incident is long forgotten, just like Lucifer’s marriage.

So everything is basically the same except Lucifer is more of a king than being shut in his castle depressed. I feel having the influence of Adam back in heaven kinda toughened him up a bit bc he shared a lot of things in common and well, God’s love. So there was some sorts of jealousy involved just like competition. Also having Lucifer near by kinda just softened Adam a ton which made it easier for him to be too vulnerable in hell.

Lucifer is much more colder though. He doesn’t have Charlie in this Au but Adam sorta does? He has Abel who has a similar personality and ambitions. His dream is redemption and thats why nothing much changes aside from that. But without Charlie Lucifer just doesn’t have anyone, and like they say, nothing is more scarier than someone who has nothing to lose.

Adam has a strained relationship with his son because he’s so blinded by Abel’s mother who’s very abusive and who Abel distanced himself from (unaware Adam is actually trapped in her chains/ she owns his soul), so they rarely ever talk or see each other but Adam loves his son more than anything.

Abel isn’t Adam’s only son he has 15 biological children! And 56 adoptive ones (exorcists that in this au are hellborn orphans/ who aren’t necessarily currently living in his area or home but are his nonetheless) Vaggie, Lute, and more. Adam is an overlord! The most powerful in wrath and was allowed to leave pride by a deal he made with Lilith thousands of year before she kinda bailed on hell.

He and Lucifer did cross paths throughout that time which made the whole falling incident more easier to forget considering Lucifer was no longer interested in wanting to know why Adam fell and just respected his privacy. The deal he made with Lilith needed to be reinforced from Lucifer’s power so it was necessary for the king of hell to be involved and grant Adam’s wish to leave pride and join wrath instead (he’s still a pride citizen he just isn’t forced to be there like the rest of the sinners/ is basically the only one allowed to have left his ring).

But getting to the plot. So Lucifer starts getting a bunch of complaints of Abel’s hotel and all the trouble he’s making with heaven. And the angels aka Sera haven’t stopped pestering his ass about it so he goes and seeks for this ‘Abel guy’ he has no idea who’s about (or who’s daddy did this one belonged to) and surprise surprise Lucifer becomes Abel’s Alastor ~ he joins in the hotel (with all the intention on screwing it over) being a sponsor, and ofc to this Abel’s all enthusiastic having the actual king of hell ‘on his side’ giving him ‘support’ of his dreams yk

And you can imagine the rest aksbwksheks Loving the idea of Hell greatest dad being Lucifer taunting Adam for being a better dad than him and Adam feeling challenged (bc he kinda is)

Got Marius feels, so i am back with headcanony musings about his character

He tends to intelectiualize all his feelings (keep himself from actually being in touch with his own condition) so he is always SO IRRATIONAL with his actions but blind to it. He considered everything, didnt he? (YEAH U FORGOT YOURSELF, ASSHOLE!) he just does not take himself into account, when appraising situations he is in! The world ends where he starts.

Anne also provides a cool way to show how developing ego as a coping strategy effects thought process (overblown ego is a trauma response, and it is, i belive, always accompanied with extremely low self-worth. Anyways, both are present with Marius)

He does not treat himself as important, outside his duty as the Keeper (father/husband/master). He is only as real as the position he is in. Thats fits with why he lets his loved ones disobey him, challenge him endlessly. They are the ones he allows to treat him as he would treat his (true)self...It is so funny(and sad), how he both demands to be treated as according to his position, yet never stops the disrespect if it is concerning to his self.

Why would anyone need him, outside his use? He will always provide his servitude as a person to take charge and teach (share skills and knowledge), yet fail to ask things he want for HIMSELF, not for the sake of upholding his role. Give give give, to a point of it being cruel (hi, Benji and Sybelle).

For so long, he is not proactively violent on his own behalf and yet fighting to keep the status quo. It is what gives him a role to play (here comes a heartbreak, when Lestat is worried Marius would walk into the sun as the parents are gone. Lestat knows, he sees this 😭)

He also seems to believe nothing would change for those who know him, if he is just...put on stop for some time. No matter what they express on the matter. He looses Pandora over it. He fucks up Armand with this. It takes him sooo long to understand.

And If he does not have active duty... he could dissapear and everyone would be fine, forget about him and be fine, if he just gives them enough knowledge to survive without him. He is so harsh with Amadeo, so he would learn every single thing about surviving as a vampire..Marius could stop being a consideration if he is not around, but general knowledge, skills will stay. My heart aches.

It is kinda cool, because if you are like me and headcanon Marius with ADHD, it also fits so well with lack of object permanance. His own thoughts and feelings don't deteriorate, but they stop exsisting (or are static and as intense as ever at all times) when the subject is not in the spotlight, he assumes that is just how it works. Another cool drop in the pro adhd bucket full of hyperfixations, loredumping, missing social cues, sensory issues and overblown sense of justice he has.

❝she’s so beautiful, and i tell her everyday.❞ bruno mars

( 𝗌𝗒𝗇𝗈𝗉𝗌𝗂𝗌 ⋫ 𝖘𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖘𝖘𝖎 )  jj maybank x insecure!reader

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 - talks of insecurity and self doubt if thats a triggering topic for some

authors note - quick head canon

✩  would constantly reassure you that you were the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen, even though you consistently say he only says that to be nice.

✩ he gets mad because of this because he wishes you could see yourself through his eyes. 

✩ would literally make a whole ass list one night if he was late home or something, and leave it on your bed saying all the things he loves about you.

✩ yeah i believe jj’s second love language is words of affirmation.

✩ lots of kisses.

✩ he would kiss all of your insecurities, as if his lips can make it all better and you appreciate him so much for it.

✩ by now, he knows when you’re over thinking because you always fidget with your fingers and pick at the skin around your thumbs when feeling anxious.

✩ whenever that happens he holds your hand. 

✩ literally can sense how overwhelmed you are, and he feels it even more because he hates how you feel like that. 

✩ once again, lots of reassuring and kisses.

✩ ❝what’s going on in that pretty head of yours, baby. tell me everything, let it out, i’m here.❞

✩ oh, and if he catches people making fun of you or your insecurities, he will fight.

✩ ❝jj! just calm down!❞

✩ ❝can’t believe them━━looking at you as if you aren’t the sexiest goddess ever, i’m gonna fuckin’ make them blind so they’ll never look at my pretty girl again, they don’t deserve to admire this.❞

✩ you think it’s so stupid, but you laugh it off with him. 

✩ he’s very touchy, as if you’re fragile. he just wants to make sure you know how much you’re worth.

✩ every time you look in the mirror and he sees you groan in frustration as you pick at the clothes on your body or tears form in your eyes on bad days, he comes up and wraps his arms around you from behind and reminds you how beautiful you are.

✩ he will do this literally right when you wake up.

✩ like, you could be waking up sweetly and suddenly, jj’s already in your face to tell you how beautiful you are and how much he loves and appreciates you.

✩ ❝morning, pretty girl.❞

✩ ❝you look so beautiful when you sleep, baby.❞

✩ more kisses.

✩ sometimes there are days when you feel good about yourself, and on those days jj does nothing but hype you up. he’s super encouraging.

✩ but he can also tell when you start to feel insecure again if your mood changes, and he will keep reminding you that you’re amazing and complement little things to hype you up like if he notices you’re wearing new brackets, necklaces, or trying a new hairstyle. 

✩ would definitely be the best photographer. 

✩ well━━maybe not.

✩ ❝oh my god, you look stunning, princess.❞

✩ ❝a dream━━❞

✩ ❝jj! are you even taking the goddamn photo!?❞

✩ ❝oh shit!❞

✩ and when he does, he’s too busy admiring you that the photos are terrible. they’re all blurry and uncentered.

✩ but he still agrees to keep them, unless you beg to delete them ofc🫶🫶

✩ if he’s taking photos on the polaroid camera, he’s totally making a banner of them when you get home.

a/n: remember, every single one of you is beautiful. looking a certain way to be pretty is bullshit, we wouldn’t all look different if that was true. we are all pretty in our own ways and when you’re feeling down, remember there’s someone in the world who would kill to look like you, or have one of your insecurities that you hate that others think are beautiful.

embrace yourself for who you are bae<3 bc you’re hot asf

also request anything!

linger

synopsis — being wrapped around dongmin’s finger had a price, one you never thought you’d have to pay.

pairing — situationship!han dongmin x gn!reader

genre — angst

warnings — cheating-ish, taesan is a jerk, reader is somewhat ‘blinded by love’ (until they aren’t)

word count — 2.2k

notes — this was inspired by linger by the cranberries ! hope you guys enjoy <3 (i also listened to all too well 10 min version a majority of the time i wrote this so thats also a half-decent alternative)

the magnetic force that pulled you towards dongmin was inexplicable. there was something that both your heart and mind couldn’t resist—something that made him so alluring. it was as if all of the desire in the world was concentrated within the cells of his skin; even a mere brush against him harnessed the ability to spread his beautiful poison.

akin to most others, you couldn’t resist the temptation of beauty, even if it was tainted. once you’d pricked your finger on the venomous spindle, you fell into an everlasting slumber; one that took on the form of han dongmin.

your days resembled a night’s dream by virtue of dongmin’s new presence in your life. his aura exuded tranquility, and it seeped into your own. still moments were common with him, which led you to what you felt was a well-needed state of peace. you had thought that he symbolized what was constantly missing from your life: grounding.

in your eyes, he was nothing short of shade that shielded you from the blistering heat of a summer day. he reeled you back in when you’d float too high, forbidding you from suffocating in the fog of the clouds. he protected you from your own flame, preventing it from growing too big. he had provided a piece of himself that you never had yourself.

although he completed your puzzle, you had not the slightest idea of if you completed his. while all of your barriers were broken, his were built with the strongest steel. beyond the shield of his smile was something you couldn’t fathom, something out of your bounds.

even if the unknown tore you apart, everything within your reach was more than enough. he’d always put you back together with the kiss of his lips, and keep you whole with the intertwining of his fingers with yours. ignorance had brought you bliss, serving it to you on a gold-plated platter.

for all of everything intimate about you and dongmin, there wasn’t a label that you could plaster onto the two of you. there was nothing stronger than ‘we’ or ‘us’ that could define you. you teetered between ‘something’ and ‘nothing’, and you hoped for nothing more than to be something.

something was a craving that you couldn’t satisfy. something kept you up at night, and it occupied every one of your dreams, whether it be under the sun or moon. something was what carried you to the same park you and dongmin had met at, strolling in your lonesome on the same rock path two seasons later.

you were there in early spring, minutes before you and dongmin had met. you were walking through the path for a much different reason then, unaware of the meaning it’d hold months later.

you had found a wooden bench, putting your walk on pause as you sat down. you listened to the sounds of spring; the songs of birds, the march breeze, the families enjoying the day, and the crunch of the rocks becoming louder as someone had made their way towards you.

the moment you had turned your head to look was when your whole world shifted without you knowing. it was then that dongmin had made his very first appearance out of many in your life, and flashed you a very first smile in the same manner.

now, more than half a year later, it was you who was smiling at the memory. you stared down at the rock path, now covered in the warm autumn leaves. the sound of the crunch beneath your feet was different, each step leaving behind crushed leaves instead of dirtied rocks. everything had changed over the seasons, but the picture-perfect visual had stayed the same.

as you neared the bench you held close to your heart, your spirits lowered as you spotted a couple seated on it. they had their hands entwined, and you could hear them laughing together. you felt an envious pang in your chest, wanting nothing more than to be there with dongmin.

your steps became lighter, the couple’s conversation gradually becoming clearer. your face grew pale as you slowly came to a horrifying realization: you could recognize the boy’s voice anywhere—it was the same voice that belonged to the same boy you were there because of, the same voice that charmed you on that same bench months ago.

even with your silent begs for it to not be true, your heart dropped as his face came into view. dongmin was there, sat on the very bench your story had begun on, but with another girl; one that wasn’t—and would never be—you.

in that moment, your whole world shifted again, but you could feel it this time. you could feel your heart get crushed in the same way the leaves did, and you could feel your whole body go cold in the same way the autumn air was.

you felt heavy, heavy in a way that weighed you down both mentally and physically. your sorrow surpassed your feelings of envy by tenfold, and your feet felt too sunken into the ground to move. you weren’t nearly strong enough to, yet you were forced to carry the sudden baggage of everything that their simple gesture held.

that simple gesture that held the whole universe to you was so easily thrown out the window. what you knew now broke you, and what used to keep you whole was the culprit. knowledge brought you grief, serving it to you on a rusted platter.

too close to turn back and mind too clouded to think straight, you brought yourself up to dongmin. in the same way you had turned to him in spring, he turned to you now, expression unreadable.

everything felt all too familiar, and it scared you. it felt like a sick, twisted repeat of your meeting in march, and you didn’t know what you did to deserve it. you swore that you didn’t do anything to hurt him, yet he walked all over you as if you were the rock path.

“dongmin?” the vulnerability in your voice was clear, but his expression wasn’t.

dongmin sighed, and looked at the girl next to him. she was perplexed but compliant when dongmin slipped his hand out of hers, standing up. “i’ll be right back.”

as soon as he stood, he signaled you to follow him before walking off. you quickly began to trudge after him, guilt rising inside of you. you fiddled with your fingers, now regretting your confrontation.

dongmin led you far enough to where the bench was still in sight, but the abandoned girl wouldn’t be able to hear your conversation. as soon as he stopped, he turned to you, expression blank.

“what?” he stared you down, running a hand through his hair. when you didn’t say anything, he crossed his arms. “what’s the problem?”

you were just as dumbfounded as that girl; you thought it was clear as day why you were upset. “why—why were you holding her hand?”

he deadpanned. “i still don’t get it. why is that a problem?” his voice was painfully monotone, and for the first time, there was nothing beyond the surface.

he wasn’t upset with you, and that only pained you more. he didn’t care one bit, and that displayed just how little everything meant to him. even if he didn’t give it a second thought, you were still in so deep. even now, all you wanted was to be with him.

“because we’re a thing! we’re—” you stopped yourself short, realizing your mistake. you rewound to the sole reason you went to the park, the blood draining out of your face.

something; the one thing you never got from him. the one thing you endlessly longed for, but never came to fruition. your relationship with dongmin was the one bud that never blossomed back in spring, remaining dormant for months as if it were frozen in time.

the day you met dongmin was the closest to something you had ever gotten from him, and you were desperate to just feel as if you had it. you knew you’d never have it in your grasp, but even just the touch of your fingertips would be enough. instead of that, you were forced upon the truth; something that you never knew you’d face.

dongmin quirked an eyebrow. “we were never a thing,” he smiled at you, but it didn’t hold the same meaning it usually did. rather than comforting, it was mocking. for once, he resembled the dark surrounding the light; not the other way around.

all you could do was stand there, eyes slowly welling with tears. you hated that you were such a fool for him, almost as much as you hated how you were such a fool for the idea of being with him.

“god, don’t cry,” he sighed, throwing his head back lazily. “we’re nothing now, and we were nothing before. you never said it was a problem, so what do you even want?”

“you! i just want you!” your voice broke as your tears began to flow, emotions letting loose. “i always did, and i still do!”

“well, you have me—”

“obviously not, because if i did, we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now!” you were near yelling, but you couldn’t care less if people could hear. dongmin was the only problem you cared about, and you wanted to fight to solve him.

silence hung in the air, and everything felt frozen. the only thing that moved was dongmin’s chest, rising up then down while he breathed, each breath deeper than the last. even now, your moments with dongmin were still, except you felt all but at peace.

“this is insane—you’re insane,” dongmin breathed out, looking away so his face was against the breeze. “this seriously doesn’t matter, so get over it. talk to me when you’ve come to your senses.”

you and the silence broke all the same, rending further as he walked past you. his footsteps rang in your ears, and they were louder than anything you’ve ever heard. his departure was deafening, and your puddles of tears were blinding.

you felt suffocated, more by the loss of dongmin than the loss of your senses. he was everything to you, and you lost him over something. you were as upset at yourself as you were at him; you wondered how you could be so mindless. you thought nothing could go wrong, but in the end, everything did.

you didn’t know if anything was ever right in the first place. everything that felt off about dongmin gradually began to make sense, and the puzzle pieces reconfigured into a different picture, uglier than it’d ever been.

everything you couldn’t fathom about dongmin didn’t exist. every barrier he had built was translucent, and beyond it was nothing. every smile he gave you didn’t mean anything, since everything behind it was nothing. the previously unknown was nothing, because that was what you truly meant to him.

he ripped a chunk out of you that you’d never get back, leaving it to be nothing. nothing was what was left of your heart; what once beat was broken by the boy it thrived for. nothing would be a taunt; a constant reminder that that was what you were to dongmin all along.

in reality, he was nothing short of the one rain cloud on a perfectly sunny day. he cut your wings, forbidding you from leaving the ground he cursed. he extinguished your flame, making it nearly impossible to reignite it. the piece of himself he provided to you before was now a parasite, intoxicating you from the inside out.

even in your sorrow-drunk daze, you knew that you had woken up from the dream that was too good to be. you escaped the everlasting slumber, and the spell was finally broken. although, your cure wasn’t a fairytale’s true love’s kiss; it was something of the opposite nature.

dongmin’s ‘beautiful’ poison had finally caught up to you, and it was less pretty than you’d thought it was. even so, you still couldn’t resist the temptation, even if he was irreversibly tainted. you wished for just one more look at your nightmare disguised as a daydream, so you made it come true.

you turned around, and your tear-blurred eyes trained on dongmin like it was a second nature. as if it were a third, you focused on his hand, intertwined with another. you didn’t have to question who it was, as the answer came as a fourth. you could almost ignore the feeling of your heart break at the thought, as it’d broken enough times for it to be a first nature.

you felt all but wanted, and in its place was the burning pain of feeling used. beyond your pain was everything that you couldn’t get rid of, including dongmin’s strong presence in your heart. you were still wrapped around his finger, despite the scars you’d always have to carry because of him. you knew that—even though there was nothing left—something would always linger.

acotar hot take

there seems to be this really intense polarization with anti-tamlin readers and pro-tamlin readers where most (but not all) antis will be like haha tampons the worst and deserved everything he got, fuck that guy, what a creep, and most pros (but not all) are like he did nothing wrong!!! there are so many double standards!!! look at all the hypocrisy!!!

and like i feel like not only is it more nuanced than that, but the narrative is more interesting because of that nuance. "Tamlin ONLY did wrong things" is untrue, but "Tamlin didn't do anything wrong!" is also untrue. He did a lot of things wrong, he put his mate in danger, he didn't foster any kind of proper communication with her, he was controlling and paranoid and just because he was traumatized doesn't mean his actions were justified. But he also did a lot of things that weren't necessarily bad that were later construed as bad following his shift in character, sometimes even by the characters in the books themselves, which...doesnt really make sense to me. Just because someone starts doing bad things, it doesn't negate the good things they've done in the past, or change their reasoning for their actions at the time. But just because someone may be misunderstood or taken at face value doesn't mean they were actually innocent the whole time, too.

To deny the parts of his character that are written to invoke sympathy in the reader is sort of closeminded, but to deny that he was abusive is an equally blind narrative to follow. That said, sympathizing with him doesn't make you an abuser by proxy. You know, its okay to feel more than just "this guy good" or "this guy bad" about a dimensional, multifaceted character. Like, thats kind of the whole point of morally gray characters.

Ive said it before, but Rhys always being toted as the exemplary morally gray character feels so weird when tamlin is an equally good example of a morally gray character, if not more, but is often completely shunted to the side as this irredeemable, heartless asshole.

i hope this doesnt hurt anyones feelings, but am i making any sense?

NUMBER 1: Harry's sudden ability to sense magic

we are first introduced to it when V blinds harry, after showing him the stars and the sky (im pretty sure V is a astrophile at this point) and harry feels Narcissa’s magic ‘’…felt…indigo, It was a subtle shift, a gentle one. apprehensive and…concerned. ‘’

and so it begins! harry is able to sesnse no only magic from there but recognize emotions through it as well. And his newfound ability is something omnipresent that helps both us-the reader- and harry himself to understand more.

let the quastions begin:

1-when did this magic lens come to be?

At first I though it was becuse of the new eyes V gives him and was something intended, but NO! story tells us that the blindness was a temporary result of the red eyes. basied on Narcissa’s comment on harry’s eyes. ‘’…they were just like your mother’s ’’ his eyes were indeed red, even while he was blind. (we also saw it from Vs eyes)

however…did his eyes transform to red the secend he was blinded? or did this happen -inbetwen/the same time- as one of the gifts ? As Narcissa’s first reaction to harry opening his eyes seemed like an over reaction to me if his eyes weren’t bloodied, and only difference was a red iris instead of a green one?

but but but ! while it came to be the same time as the whole blind era, that dosent seem to be the only factor here since its quite obvious that Lord Voldemort himself doesn’t have that power… 2- so if its somehow related to the eyes, why tf doesnt Voldemort have that power??? while I can bring hundreds of references, its crystal clear that V can’t sesnse shit like harry does, like how he can’t find him when has closed his eyes + under the invisibility cloak and many other times which im to lazy to go and find rn lol.

but honestly why tf dosen’t V have it? its quite the mystery!

while it removed the need for glasses and gave harry perfect vision, there hasn’t been anything mentioned bout a super vision? no being able to see extra details ? nought nil nada nothing?? and most ppl have perfect vision TR included???

‘’do you have any idea the intricare nature of what I did to blind you, and what I had to do to impart on you superior sight? Your corrected vision is a gift ‘’

why would tom riddle go through a very complex ritual just to have…like 0.5 point more vision? with nothing additional ? no extra sensing magic free on the house? thats kinda odd…

thats all for now? please tell me what you think and pen my lord dont you answer with that side eye emoji XD

side note worth mentioning here: so we know V couldn't change his eyes, even with harry’s soul. And we all know what he promised harry in case he tapped into their connection without permission…GIVING HARRY HIS EYES BACK WHICH HE CAN’T!!!…ehem so something somthing something? EHEM assassination? or elixir overdose? leads to something something which makes V tap into that to save harry? so many possibilities AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ps: this did not help me calm down, I really need a calming drought with extra rosemary rn

Also tumbler fucked all my italica and bolds but ehhhhh idk imagin them on your own XD

Love u as always obi pen <3

👀

okay but instead of answering anything, I will add a point to consider: Harry sees/perceives/feels magic better with his eyes closed

How did Weirdmaggedon go in Mabel's Muse AU?

Also, any little fun facts? Like, how Mabel met Bill? :3

hiiii thank you for asking!!!!! but to be honest, i dont.....entirely know yet ^^" but i can tell you everything i know so far!!

i assume you mean the resolution of weirdmageddon, as thats about the only thing that changes. other than the fact that mabel is participating in the chaos! she has no idea that everything is as awful as it really is, and stan and dipper know that, because they know she doesnt have a malicious bone in her body. before ford was captured, the last thing he tells dipper is that its probably her goggles that are blinding her. they just have to get her rose-colored-glasses off

so i think them breaking into the fearamid would go about the same!! dipper and stan unfreeze ford, find mabel, and try to talk her into taking off the goggles herself, to which she refuses. when bill gets back, he tries to convince her to keep them on, and to keep playing with him and his friends. its probably ford who ends up getting through to her (both because she learns that the stuffed version of him has been him the whole time, meaning bill lied to her, and because he apologizes for shying away from her initially)

she takes her glasses off, and sees the real state of the town, and is instantly horrified that she allowed any of this to happen...she teams up with her family, her and dipper cause a distraction, the stans switch, etc etc the rest all goes the same :p

as for how mabel and bill met, i think it happened around pilot era!! honestly maybe around the events of/right after the gobblewonker ep? she discovers him in a similar way that ford does; she trips and falls into a cave, and finds inscrptions in the wall about bill. she reads them out loud, nothing happens, and then he starts showing up in her dreams!

just finished thinking about silvercandle angst SND THEN I HAVE TO SEE LIAM ANGST??? WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT DEOM ME(?? IM JUST A GIRL IN THE WORLD THATS ALL YOULL LET ME BEEEEE CAUSE IM JUST A GIRL LIVING IN CAPAVITY

IGH ive been thinking anoht liam for so long

spoilers for hfjONE

Because when he left ONE he was alone and considered dead for how long he was missing.

He had no one

He had nothing

All he had left was the memories of ONE

Realistically his best ending would’ve been if he had put it all behind him and never looked back, but he would always feel Airy’s presence on his back I think. The mystery of ONE and who Airy was would’ve haunted him. Even if he didn’t go back and get himself trapped where Airy was, he would never have really escaped ONE.

He would be forever wondering what was it, especially if Airy stole Owen after that. He would know what happened if he decided to get in contact with Owen.

He would feel the regret of not finding out who Airy was, of wasting Rock’s hints, of turning a blind eye to Owen’s disappearance, of leaving Ameila behind. Even if he didn’t get lost like he did in the end, he would’ve been trapped by his own mind and memories.

Him trying to find out who Airy was cost him his life, but him being put into ONE had already sealed his fate. He was never going to be the same person, he was there for seven months, how do you just go back to normal after that?

We see this with Bryce, how he just shoves it all aside and just, continues with life. Yes, he still wonders what it was, but he never made an effort to find out. In fact, even if Liam never went to find out, Byrce would’ve never notice Airy taking the girl that works with him. Liam knew Owen well and he would’ve noticed, but Byrce didn’t know her well.

Bryce was also only trapped for a week.

Bryce had very little to lose to ONE, he could move on. Nothing was changed except him. He was there for a week and the person Airy wanted to take that he knew was someone Bryce wasn’t very close to.

Liam could never, everything had changed for him. He was gone for seven months and declared dead. He would know that Owen was gone and known exactly where he was. ONE took everything from him, and he had nothing but ONE, which is why he became so obsessed with finding Airy.

Thats why Bryce and Liam never understood each other. Bryce thought of Liam as an obsessed person who just simply couldn’t let go, and Liam saw Bryce as someone who didn’t care at all.

I think when Bryce got put back into ONE after meeting up with Liam again, I think he understood Liam more. What he meant about having nothing other than ONE

My loving queen

Tighnari x blind! reader (reader afab and slightly chubby) your also the cousin of kazuha

Side note I'm changing something as I have a piece called BITE ME coming out in a bit

Warnings: mention of blood, death (both small parts) slight angst fluff comfort

☆☆☆☆☆

You were born blind. No cure could be found so you learn to navigate the world by echo location. Clicking your tongue, you would hear the 'sound waves' bounce off various item and objects helping you walk around.

You had a good home growing up. Even learned how to dance something that was quiet challenging, but you managed it well.

That how you met him. Tighnari.

He first caught sight of you wandering around the forest. So, he went to help you.

'Hi. I'm Tighnari. What's your name?' He asked you. You looked over at him.

'I'm y/n. Can I ask for you to help me get home? I'm lost and this forest is throwing me off.' You said smiling.

He looked at you and noticed your eyes.

'Forgive my rudeness but...are you blind?' He asked.

You nodded.

'OK. Follow me.' He said then started launching into a lecture

Thats how the first meeting went. He found you again. This time you were returning home.

'Y/n? Returning home or lost?' Tighnari asked.

'Returning home now shush. I hear something'

He noted his surroundings then grabbed your wrist.

'Come on let's get you-OW!!!! Thats my foot!'

You stepped on his foot. The sound was bothering you. It was high pitched, and it made your ears hurt. You had to know what it was.

'The noise. Its hurting my ears.' You said covering them

'Oh, your other senses increase significantly, don't they?' Tighnari grabbed your hand 'come on. Ill investigate the noise later.'

You nodded and followed him.

'You should be careful when in the forest.' He started to say.

'I'm fine really. I may be blind but believe me when I say I can run. Now why don't you tell me about yourself? From the sounds I think you may have a tail.'

'Ah your hearing been enhanced. Yes, I do have a tail.' Tighnari started.

'Gimme tail.' You spoke. Tighnari looked at you bewildered.

No one ever dared asked to touch his tail much less demand to touch it.

'You're a strange girl.' He said quietly. 'Uh....sure.'

He held his tail out. You held it gently. As he studied your actions, he started to notice you more. You were slightly chubby but still healthy weight. Your (colored) hair gently flowing in the wind.

'So soft.' You said petting his tail. He looked at you.

'All right. That enough. Come on let's go home' he said. You nodded releasing his tail.

His heart stopped for a beat. Your smile was so angelic. So peaceful. He couldn't stop looking at you.

There was something about you. Something about your presences that made everything so serene.

'Let's go home.' He said again.

You nodded and followed him.

----

You both met up a few more times before everything stopped. You went missing. It was unusual for you to not cause chaos. So, when you didn't show up for the past week tighnari set out to find you.

Arriving at you place he noticed the door slightly opened. He grew concerned. Soon concerned turned into horror when he saw the scene.

You were surrounded by your dead family. Tied up You were unconscious. Tighnari checked to see if anyone else was alive but came back with nothing.

'Y/N. Hey you need to wake up. Come on' he shook you gently. 'I need to get you some help.'

You slowly came to. When you were fully able to process the heavy iron scent you cried. Tighnari carefully moved you. That caused you to scream. Some unknown person was carrying you.

'Hey, calm down it's just me. Tighnari. I'm trying to help you. It's ok. I promise.' With some convincing you were able to stop screaming. 'Ok let's get these off you.'

You ended up tuning him out while he took of the rope. After a few attempts to get the knots undone he succeeded and managed to get you free. He looked around and spot a blanket blood free. Walking over he grabbed it and walked back to you.

'Y/N can you stand up?' He asked. But you were still tuning him out. So, he tried again. Finally, you responded.

'Can you stand up for a second? Just one second, I promise.' You nodded and stood up slowly.

You started to fall after you got up but tighnari was able to catch you and wrap the blanket around.

'Come on. I'll take you to get checked up.' He scooped your legs up. Carrying you bridal style he looked around one last time and left the building.

----

'You want me to look into the murders of her family?' Cyno asked.

Tighnari nodded.

'I know it sound stupid, but I want her to have a piece of mind. She been sleeping so much lately. She says she doesn't want to wake up and face the reality.'

'I'll-' cyno stopped mid sentence and looked at you in disbelief.

Tighnari confused looked at you. You were still sleeping but next to you laid a vision. Suddenly a book fell from no where. Tighnari studied the vision.

'Celestia feels she meet the standards for a hydro vision' cyno stated. 'But how does a blind person qualify for a vision?'

'She did mumble about the world being an unfair place.' Tighnari said quietly.

You woke up.

'Tighnari?' You asked. You 'looked' in his direction.

He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. Picking up the vision.

'Hold out your hand.' He said.

You did as told. Feeling something drop in it your world suddenly exploded.

'What's going on?' You panicked. 'Why am I seeing lines?'

The moment the vision touched your hand it gave you an outline of everything. You dropped the vision but the lines didn't disappear.

'It must have sensed your condition and accommodated to it.' Tighnari said holding your hand. 'I think it's giving you a mental image of everything surrounding you.'

He looked at the book. Realizing it was a catalyst he grabbed it. Putting it in your hand you whimpered quietly.

'I'm hearing a voice' you said.

Tighnari pulled you into a hug.

'The weapon was also made to accommodate your condition.' He cupped your cheek. 'Hey let's calm down.'

You nodded as he pulled you into another hug. Cyno looked at the two and left quietly.

'Hey. You feeling better?' Tighnari asked.

He felt you nod.

'OK. You feel better enough to get out?' He rubbed your back.

'I don't want to face the reality.' You started to tremble.

'Hey its ok. I promise. We all have to face it. Come on. I have a idea. We can go to sumeru city. Get you acquainted to some people.'

You whimpered quietly. Tighnari looked at you. You were very beautiful...tighnari shouldn't be thinking about that now.

'Come on if not sumeru city then here will do.' He gave you a gentle pat on the shoulder.

You started crying. He stopped when he saw your tears.

---

After a few days you finally got out. Asking collei where the nearest shower was. She smiled giving you directions forgetting your blind.

'Collei? Can you just walk me there? I do-ooooh wait. I see it' you said as the vision drew a line in your mental map.

You collected your things and followed the line. You cleaned up. Feeling better you got dressed. Tighnari had gone out and purchased some new clothes. The other one were beyond repair.

After you finished you walked back to tighnari place. Sitting on the bed you started thinking.

'Well now this is a surprise. Your up and about now.' He said smiling. 'What changed?'

You shrugged. He walked over to the bed and sat next to you.

'So what are you going to do now?' He asked.

You faced him.

'Tail gimme' you suddenly demanded.

Tighnari looked at you bewildered.

'Why must you demand my tail?' He asked.

'Gimme.' Was all you said.

He sighed. Turning around slightly he put his tail on your legs. He watched as you gently picked it up and buried your face in it.

'So soft.' You mumbled. 'Soooooft'

He chuckled as he watched the scene. You petting his tail while burying your face in it. He admired your figure. You were a little skinny something that could be dealt with overtime. You lost weight during your greiving. Your hair was longer.

'OK times up. I know you like my tail but I need it back.' He said as he moved his tail away from you. You whined.

'Come on. You don't know what to do right?' He said taking your hand 'follow me. You can be a forest ranger.'

'How would I be able to do that?' You asked.

'Trust me on this.'

-----

From the distance collei spotted tighnari pulling you along. You had a smile on your face. The world's brightest smile.

During the next few months tighnari trained you to be a forest ranger. Lisa was brought in to train you to use a catalyst.

Then came the crisis. Someone asked a sensitive question which earned a head smack and a severe tongue lashing from tighnari.

During that time you hid questioning everything. Tighnari assigned said person to the city as a punishment.

After some convincing and a accidental kiss you came out. Your bubbly personality a little quieter.

You nearly gave him a heart attack when you showed up with a baby avidia leopard.

'Why do you have a leopard?! Did you kidnap it? Oh archons why?' He panicked.

'Hush dear she sleeping. And the mother entrusted her to me. She ran off.' You said.

'What?!' He yelled.

You shushed him once more. Taking a blanket for the make shift bed you had you set it down on the ground. Folding it you laid the baby leopard on it gently. Walking away you sat down on his bed.

He faced palmed then sat besides you.

'We need to have a talk about this leopard....dear are you ok?' He looked over at you. You had discarded the jacket dumping it on the floor. Crawling in his bed you pulled the covers over your body. He grew concerned.

'Dear?' He asked 'is everything alright?'

'I'm just tired. Socializing takes a lot out of me now days.' You said.

Tighnari discard his shoes and crawled in behind you.

'May i?' He asked tapping your waist. You nodded.

He wrapped his arms around your waist pulling you close to him. He draped his tail over your stomach.

*she's so cute and smells great* He thought. *I shouldn't be doing this.*

Right? Friends don't accidentally kiss. And they certainly don't cuddle while sleeping in the same bed.

Right?

---

'Traveler I assume you may know someone who can help nilou?' Dehya asked.

Aether nodded.

'What does the academy have against them?' Al haitham asked.

'She was spotted dancing in the city. They went after her but stopped when she ran off on water' aether said remembering the whole fiasco.

Tighnari was laughing hard when it happened. Aether was laughing too when one of the guards fell into the water going after you. The leopard made the other guards shrink back in fear.

'Together the two can buy us time.' He said.

'Are you talking about y/n? If you are she would be useful then.' Cyno said.

So with the plan in motion dehya and aether went out.

----

'Hey y/n?' Tighnari asked. 'Can you try working on the girl again?'

You nodded standing up from the ground. You were growing a sumeru rose. Your cousin kazuha who you met by chance had sent you a seed.

'After I'm done I'm heading to the city. I need to purchase a few things' you looked at him. Leaving the area you went to go heal the patient.

After that things went out of control.

----

Lighting was everywhere. Ruinsguards somehow got close to vimara village and to top it all off you had to fight those and the fatui agent sent after you.

There you stood in the middle of the river breathless.

You wanted to give up but you couldn't not with the children and eldery at risk.

'You are really testing my patience here.' You said.

The agent didn't answer instead sending its blade at you. You blocked it. You knew help wasn't coming anytime soon. So you did the unthinkable.

'Test my patience again' you muttered. With the rivers help you were able to defeat the agent taking the ruin guard down.

'Oh good.' You started 'I just want to...'

Everything blurred then went black.

----

'Is she ok?' Tighnari asked. The leopard had rescued you from the river. With a little assistance you were brought back. Straight to pardis dhyai.

'She's unconscious. How did she get this injury?' Dehya asked as she examined your hand 'why is she soaking wet? Did she lock weapons with someone?'

Tighnari walked over to you. He felt your forehead and sighed.

'She's running a fever too.' He began but piamon rushed in with aether behind.

'Ruin guards were activated! vimara village was under attack!' She began 'we don't know who or how but they took out eight Ruin guards and two fatui agents. The traveler went to help.'

'Calm down piamon. Calm down' Aether began.

'But i have to tell them about the river!' She said. 'The river! That the part they need-'

'What about the river?' Tighnari asked looking at you.

'When we arrived someone had managed to move the river that runs through vimara village.' Aethe said. 'Its back in place....'

He trailed off as he looked at you. You were soaking wet. Everyone stared at you. The tighnari broke the silence.

'So....I should probably send a letter to Lisa. Ask if she knows someone who can help her hone her skills. Preferably someone with a hydro vision.' He sat on the edge of the bed. 'Can everyone leave?'

Everyone left.

'You did all that by yourself. You were probably scared out of your mind.' He cupped your cheek 'you must have been terrified. Yet you managed to take them out. Even managed to control a river too.'

'It was. No back up, and I was new to combat.' You said. You woke up.

You sat up wincing.

'Im so proud of you.' He said.

He leaned in close. You followed suit. The both of you kissed. After a minute you pulled away.

'Tighnari? What are we?' You asked him. You remained close to him.

'I don't know. All I do know is that I feel the need to protect you.' He rubbed his nose against yours. 'And the feelings I get being close to you makes me warm. I know friends shouldn't kiss or cuddle but we do. Everything we do I get so happy it makes me purr'

He pulled you in his lap.

'I want to be something different with you. I want to be in a relationship with you.' He nuzzle your cheek.

'But I'm blind.' You said quietly. 'I'm a chubby per-'

'I don't care about those.' He murmured in your ear wrapping his tail around you. 'Your beautiful.'

He brushed his lips against your cheek. It became silent. You both listened to everything going on around you. Piamon could be heard in the distance.

Then you heard a strange sound. Listening carefully you realized it was coming from in front of you. Burying your head in his neck you listened.

'You do purr' you said.

Tighnari nodded. Readjusting your position he managed to lay down with you on top.

'Tighnari?' You said into the bed. 'Do you really love me?'

'Yes.' He tightened his grip on you. It went silent.

'I love you tighnari.'

'I love you too'

[hms-incorrect-quotes]

[Its prolly time I make a pinned for this account, no?]

Welcome, ladies, gentlemen and the technicolor rainbow in between, to the hellfire of cacophonous nonsensical words said by characters from another man that is not I! For I don't know how to be original!! Wahoo!!!!

I'll take submissions using any of the characters made/used by Chonny Jash! That includes the 4 from Vol 1, anyone from Gothic Whore & maybe some for the Power Hours! I myself will post ones involving Heart Mind Soul & Whole, since I understand them better. But! Submissions of the others are greatly appreciated & encouraged :}

[Not that it rlly matters but me pronouns be He/It/Soul & you can call me KJ or Atlas]

I take submissions! All I ask is you follow these rules :}

———————

1. Obviously nothing offensive. Nothin racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist etc. etc. Just be a decent normal human being lol

2. Adding onto that, nothing thats especially ableist about or towards Heart. Nothing that's insulting or making fun of him being blind or anything related to that.

3. No NSFW!!! These characters may be adults and I may be an adult however there's a lot of younger peeps here! Plus, CJ is uncomfy with that & I am as well. [Nothing thats suggestive either]

4. No quotes that involve shipping between Heart Mind & Soul [or Jash looking/based characters]. Also likely no family ones either. Just so its neutral enough that anyone with any type of headcanons can read them and it not be weird. Platonic ones are perfectly fine though.

7. Please refrain from adding too many color changes in quotes! Stick with just the names at the start and not every use of the name in speech or pronoun. Just so everythings easier to read :}

5. Please don't baby or infantilize Heart. You can make him goofy & lighthearted, but theres a point in which you make him seem overly childish or dumb. He may be the emotional side but hes still an adult.

6. Headcanons about Whole need to be about the character in the album but not irl CJ himself or anything about his life. Same also applies to the Power Hours & the singles.

8. You can submit text or pictures! You can even specify if you want something put into a texting chat, discord messages or a twitter post. I have apps that I can imput those into.

———————

Also! Sometimes I or others will use alt names for HMS and I figure I'll list them here in case anyones confused [also includes their name colors]:

Heart- Juno or Artemis

Mind- Ciro or Apollo

Soul- Atlas

Whole- Whole [For Now]

Thats all for now! Have fun :}

Random thought I had: While most members of the Brotherhood of Makuta can be seen to have behaviors that are the antithesis to the Three Virtues (much like pretty much all the villains that were actual characters rather than mooks), I feel an argument could be made that some of them are perversions of the Three Virtues, and act as example of the negative effects clinging extremely to a virtue can have.

Unity is by far the trickiest since like many Bionicle villains most of the BoM dont really get along with each other and in fact are at each others throats, but I feel that Gorast and/or Antroz is the most fitting. Both of them are fanatically loyal to Teridax and are devoted to his cause. Their loyality towards Teridax ends being a major flaw however, as they didnt see how their leader was just using them and would discard them til it was little bit too late. Gorast is arguably the better fit since she is more defined by her loyalty towards Teridax and her blind loyalty directly led to her death as she refused to listen to Krika or Icarax warning her about Teridax, instead believing in Teridax and the Plan til the very end. That said either are good fits in my opinion.

While he isnt technically a Brotherhood member anymore, Miserix definitely fits the best as pervesion of Duty. I have spoken about this before, but I believe Miserix can be read as being largely defined by his loyality towards his duty as a protector of the Matoran Universe. To Miserix, duty isnt just his purpose in life bit rather his whole identity, it's everything he stands for, everything he is. So, when Teridax strips him of his duty, Miserix loses all his sense of self and personhod. He was so tied to his duty, he became nothing. Is it wonder the guy snapped and became a ragefilled murdeous monster by the time we see him in the actual story? But not only that, it could be argued that Miserixs fanatical devotion to his duty was his downfall as I wouldn't be surprised if thats a big reason Teridax wanted to overthrow him in the first place. Sure, Teridax was a powerhungry controlfreak with a god complex and desire for total domination of the MU, but I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason for his coup had to do with his disatisfaction in how Miserix ruled things. I also wouldn't be surprised if Miserix one tracked way of viewing duty affected in how he ruled the Brotherhood, especially when considering what the canon tells us about his rule. So yeah, in more ways than one, Miserixs devotion to his duty led to why he became what he became.

Lastly, Krika can be read as the pervesion of Destiny. Krika is a fatalist, who believes that he is doomed to be evil because of his nature as a Makuta. While Krika does rebel against Teridax and the Plan to an extent, he never tries to change his own Destiny. Instead, Krika has accepted his lot in life: sure he laments it but ultimately he doesnt do anything to change it. Krika believes his role and purpose in the universe is set in stone, and thus doesnt do anything to revolt it. Interestingly enough, Krikas last act of warning Gorast is a act of defying his destiny as he actively tries to warn his kin of their death. Though in a cruel twist of fate, when Krika tried to defy destiny and be a good person, he faced his own death. Its as ironic as it is poetic.

All in all I find these three (technically four) characters representing the logical extreme of the Three Virtues really fascinating. It makes Bionicles moral framework much more complex, as it shows that its virtues aren't automatically good, and in fact can lead to distrasrous results if acted to extreme. All these characters ultimately fall because of how extreme they are with the virtue associated them:Gorast and Antroz fanatical loyalty to Teridax is what leads to them being betrayed him without even realizing, Miserixs devotion to his duty is why he gets overthrown and goes mad after loosing his sense of purpose and identity and Krikas fatalist worldview is why he refuses to change his ways and redeem himself in spite of hating his role as a villain. Its all so poetic in a tragically ironic way and just one of the many things that make Bionicle so fascinating to analyze and re-examine in spite of its seemingly simplistic writing.

HP Rapunzel/Tangled Series au

-> Rapunzel: Fem!Harry

-> Mother Gothel: Bellatrix 

-> Cassandra (Gothel’s daughter from the tangled series): Delphini

-> Eugene: Maybe Sirius? (not sure, someone else can come up with this one, or perhaps there just won’t be a savior. 

Voldemort is dead, and Bellatrix is in complete dismay and denial of her master [lover] being gone. She has nothing but hatred for Harry, the wrenched thing that took her master from her, so she hatches a plan to kill her, but somehow ends up finding out that Harry is a Horcrux and gets obsessed with the idea of having a part of Voldemort with her again and maybe using the child to get him back, so she steals Harry away and raises her [If James or perhaps Lily is alive, then she was stolen from one of them. If they’re both dead then she was just stolen from the Dursley’s]. Bellatrix either raises Harry and Delphini equally along side each other, and they become best friends, or, in her blind obsession to try to get Voldemort back, she sort of pushes Delphini aside to watch over Harry, which leads to Delphini having very conflicting feelings towards Harry. She [Delphini] loves her [Harry] because she has always been nice, lovable, and she’s just so good that it’s hard not to love her, but she also resents her for stealing her mother’s attention. For having some kind of connection to her father. 

[Oooh, but it can also take some kind of twisted route, where Delphini has her parents tendency of obsession. So, while she loves and dislikes Harry, she is also very obsessed with her. Maybe that can add on to more of the conflict she feels. Her parents are hers but Harry is also hers. She hates Harry getting all the attention and being closer to her mother, but also hates the fact that she’s [Harry] getting attention from someone that’s not her and that she’s way closer to someone other than her] 

For Bellatrix and Harry, you can decide on how their relationship is with each other and how Bella raising her affects their personalities. For Harry, Bella is all she’s ever really known, so she obviously loves her and thinks of her as her mother. Perhaps Bella raising her has changed her. She’s either good and has a darker side, or she’s just still completely good [but she would totally choke you out if you, let’s say, stole something from her “mother”] (*cough* Book Harry *cough*). Now Bellatrix is tricker. Her own motive of stealing and raising Harry was to be closer to the soul of her master [lover] that resonated in the child, but ultimately, led her to brain storming ideas of ways she can use the girl to somehow resurrect him. So maybe along the way she does grow to love Harry but her love for Voldemort and seeing him again is way stronger so if she had to sacrifice the girl for it, she would, reluctantly and regretfully, but she would. Or perhaps she never loved Harry. All that attention and “love” she was receiving from Bella was for the Horcrux within her. She keeps Harry very close and on a tight leash. 

Bonus: 

-> Captain of the guards (Cass’ adopted father): Rodolphus 

Rodolphus and Delphini are close. Depending on how much attention Bellatrix gives Delphini, you can say that he pays her [Delphini] the same amount of attention or he pays her a little/lot more attention when Bella cannot. He trains her, with magic and knifes/swords. He’s also close to Harry and trains her as well, but not that often, as that’s Bella’s thing. His relationship with Bellatrix can be up to debate.

ITS OVER

Warning: Throwing up, Heartbreak, Sad

Why me? I never wanted this to happen. Everything was fine a few days ago and now? Its all over…

Why did he do this to me? I gave him my heart.. he played with my feelings. He let me feel special for a amount of time and now? Now I’m broken.

Why? This is the question I asked myself for quite a while now. Why me? What did I do wrong? Was I… annoying? No.. i was myself the entire time..

Maybe he got sick of my face.. but why did he tell me I have a face he could stare at for a long time? Did he really just play with me? i should’ve never gave him a second chance after everything he did at first but.. love made me blind.

I remember everything like it was yesterday.. it’s still fresh… it still hurts pretty bad.. but hey.. life goes on right?

A few weeks later I sat with a few Ghouls at the table, eating a little. Since this day, I almost ate nothing. Alpha, a former ghoul was always watching out for me. Making sure that I ate something thats why I’m right here now.

I actually don’t like it here because HE is also there, looking at me from time to time. I felt sick.. like throwing up. Thats why I stood up and speed walked out of the door, to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, I heard someone knock at the door, I was silent, actually I don’t want someone near me at the moment cause I could break down any minute. But the person on the other side wasn’t giving up anytime soon. So I got up, washed my face and cleaned my mouth before opening the door. Looking into the eyes of Rain.

„I know this is a stupid question but.. Y/N are you okay? Please talk to me..“ he said and hugging me after I left the bathroom door open. I immediately returned the hug. „No.. i am not okay. He broke my fucking heart I wish he would burn in Hell“ i said but immediately regreted it. I hate him but deep inside I still love him and thats what hurts the most. I wish I could just forget.

But when you have to live in the same place, it was kinda hard to forget. Rain let go off me and wiped my tears away. I didn’t know they were there in the first place.

„I know it’s hard. It hurts me to see you like this. Why don’t you leave for a few days? Maybe this will help you. I even can ask sister Imerator if soneone can come with you, maybe Sunshine or Aurora.. so you don’t have to be alone“ he suggested but I shook my head no. „No.. its oksy I dont want to run away from my feelings I have to get through this.“ i smiled and we went back.

„Can you.. at least tell me what happened between you two?“ he asked, i sighed deeply vut agreed. He was like a brother always there for me.. like Alpha. We went for the common room, at this time of the day, nobody was there. We went to the couch taking a seat.

„I actually don’t know what really happened but He ignored me at some point. I asked him whats wrong but he never answered me. I wrote so many letters because he wasn’t talking to me but I never got a letter back why he is like this. I even asked Aether about it but he also didn’t know a thing but he saw the change. It was a few days lster when I found out, he was back with the other Sister who dumped him. I don’t know why.. it hurts when I think about it. Rain what did I do wrong? Is it my face? Is it my personality? My body? What is it? Am I not good enough for him?“ i looked down while asking him.

I know I am enough, I’m me and nobody is like me but why did he do this? Was I just.. some random girl he wanted to have fun with because he wanted to forget about the oter sister? Maybe.. but i am no toy. I wish I never met him.

„Oh Y/N… i didn’t know… he always said he wanted to be near you.. he wanted your attention and everything. But I never thought he would be like this after having your attention. I will kill him for sure.“ now rain sounded pissed. I never saw him like this. He was always calm… shy even but this is new to me.

„No rain.. leave it. I know I will get my chance for revenge I have to wait.. but in another way I don’t want revenge, i still want to be a part of his life and I don’t even care if I’m a friend or but but I know this will never happen. I know I should not be this stupid about someone who broke my heart.. but i can’t help it..“ i sighed leaning back and closing my eyes. I’m just exhausted.

„I definitely gonna talk to him. You know what? Rest for a bit.. I’m gonna talk to sister imperator that you‘re sick. Just… dont do something stupid.. i know you will“ he sniled slightly and I nodded. Im too exhausted to fo something stupid. My personality changed after this happened with Sodo… and I hate it.

Maybe… my old self will come back.. at some point.
