#but the village treated him like a monster for having the demon inside of him and ostracized him

[star-boi0720]

Giant lore dump here, basically they're the seven deadly sins, in my version to become one you commit an act to break a seal that Irene made to contain the devil within and their punishment is to become the new host for said devils. so I'm gonna go person by person and explain how they became a sinner

(the concepts aren't complete, still needs work but I just want to have it written down)

Aaron-Wrath, has a similar backstory to the OG, but I added a thing I remembered from Emerald Secret of the Utltimas backstory (this was solely from my memory and might not be exact) and took Zane out of the equation, basically Aaron had a hobby of hunting and he without knowing killed this holy wolf that Irene created, and as a punishment he was combined with it and in the foggy haze of his transformation he murdered his whole village and his family.

Lucinda-Gluttony, Her hunger for knowledge killed her best friend(/ maybe girlfriend aka Sasha don't 100% know yet) and sealed away her mother to the cursed forest. Hyria used to have like a coven/school for witches she made after Irene left. Lucinda was a prodigy and wanted to just keep learning to the point she was so desperate she stole a book her mother told her never to even touch (which had sin inside and was trusted to hyria by Irene) which made Lucinda's magic go crazy and destroy the school and seal her mom away and kill Sasha.

Travis-Lust, so his mom dies to seal his dad away all that's the same but Travis is just super lonely right, but then a girl comes to visit him and he eventually falls in love with her but she actually is a member of his fathers cult to break him free and Travis is so obsessed with her he doesn't notice, and before he can stop her fully she partially freed him and travis in the struggle to stop her he kills her and breaks his mothers necklace(which had lust inside) but right after he kills her a bunch of villagers burst into the chamber the demon warlock was locked in and it looks like Travis just sacrificed some girl to his father and they try to kill him so Travis hides deep in the mountains

Katelyn-Envy, her entire life in her village of dragons she was treated as lesser compared to her brothers Kayden and Cain cause she wasn't as strong as them and she pushed herself but wasn't enough, her jealousy boiled over and in a fight with her brother Kameron she broke a statue that had the sin inside she didn't kill him but burned him beyond recovery

Garroth- Pride, He was the cocky prince troupe kinda like Hercules from the Disney movie and he liked to play hero, and vylad always went with him like Garroth's little sidekick. but one day they came against a monster they couldn't beat and Garroth refused to back down and in which the monster which was a huge lion killed vylad garroth killed it but it had the sin of pride inside it Garroth returned home and when he told his mother of what happened she hid him away knowing the world would see garroth as a threat and kill him. So Evelyn(Aka Zianna I changed a lot of the parent's names cause it seemed repetitive to me, so mom is now Evelyn and the father's name is now Adam) sent Garroth to hide in Phoenix Drop and claimed the beast killed both of them.

Zane- Greed, Zane was always a good man the whole kind young priest get up. but after the sudden deaths of his brothers, his faith was shaken, and in a desperate attempt to bring them back he began to research black magic and corrupted his mind and he opened a box deep in the catacombs of Okasis which was Pandora's box which held the sin of greed and became and the once kind prince became a true monster.

Nana-Sloth Nana is the eldest daughter of a duke of the Tula Kingdom, her mother died when Nana was young and her father was very heartless about it, like had a new wife in 2 days and all her other siblings were only her half she tried to be close to them but her father kept her away from them to the point she stopped trying after so long but on a night a raid happened she was only able to save one of her siblings her youngest Juno who was only like 7 but as she was escaping she broke a mirror that had the sin of sloth inside and possessed her and nana escaped to ruan and made her little cafe with her sister. (Nanas I don't fully like it yet but it is something ig)

So that's pretty much just some tragic mfrs sorry for any spelling mistakes

Gon Freecs

🎣Gon is naively friendly at most times and ready to help someone so he doesn't let the mistreatment he witnesses you enduring slide. Honestly, he doesn't know why those people are pushing you around like a punching back and bully you but he quickly steps in and shields you. There's a confused look on his face as he asks your bullies why they treat you so rudely since he has just recently travelled to this city, unaware of the person who is hosting a powerful demon inside of them. Even as your bullies angrily proclaim to him what exactly you are and that you're basically a monster, he doesn't understand them. He sees a person who is in need right now, there is no monster fox and that's why he tells the group to stop as he helps you up although you slap his hand away, not trusting anybody.

🎣 Soon Gon realizes that the whole town despises you whenever he catches you outside just coldly enduring everything since this is the norm for you. You look terribly lonely and bitter and Gon decides to change that. He's never been scared to approach dangerous people and you don't even strike him as one. He suddenly pops up around you and tries to befriend you. Obviously you reject him, perceive him as annoying but that isn't something that discourages Gon. He has a sunshine aura around him, sincerely wants to help you a bit by showing you that not everyone must hate you. You eventually stop pushing him away although you still ignore him. It's undeniable that he has started worming his way into your heart though. Deep down you do want someone you can rely on too.

🎣 He's so happy when he notices that he pushes through your shell, promises that he'll be a loyal and good friend. He spends lots of time with you but during this time his feelings change. He sees a side to you you're too afraid to show since you fear that people will use it to weaken you. You're utterly adorable though and he encourages you to let your feelings freely flow when he's with you since you can trust him. He grows more protective, exposes a more threatening side when he sees how people bully you cruely. Without a doubt he asks you at one point to come with him to a safer place as he grows paranoid with the amount of abuse you go through daily. He's sure that you would be happier with him too! Gon might even try to kidnap you as he doesn't believe that you would ever hurt him, not considering Kurama inside of you. If you have an amicable relationship with the fox spirit, Gon would grow to like him too.

Killua Zoldyck

🪀 He has turned his eyes away a lot from the misery of others due to his family but meeting Gon made him develop more empathy for others. He's completely unaware of the situation of the village upon walking randomly in it. He only knows that something is definitely wrong when he sees people shunning you out as soon as they see you. They instantly stop chatting and turn their back to you, some even call you rude names. It isn't until someone throws a rock after you that he steps in with frightening speed and catches it before it can hit you. You have a surprised look on your face before your face hardens and you turn away without even thanking him. Something on your face reminds him of himself when he was younger and he only finds out later that day what exactly you are.

🪀 Gon has been there for him and he feels like you need someone too who helps you to escape from your own darkness. Killua isn't sure if he can do that but he wants to try since he sympahtizes with you. He's less persistent than Gon since he understands that you don't trust anyone besides yourself. He just lingers around you and steps in when someone tries to harass you again, scaring them away. He doesn't see you as a monster since you're just innocent, he on the other hand has murdered people without having a demon inside of him so he sees himself more of a monster than you. Killua is weirdly honored when you slowly trust him and spend time with him. Most of the time he insists on spending inside since the chances to be disturbed here are lower than if you two would go to the city.

🪀 You are so much more behind that sheltered and stoic facade, refreshing and absolutely lovely. Killua can't help the feelings he develops with time for you, a darker obsession born out of sheer paranoia and protective instinct. He doesn't want to leave you alone since he just knows that someone will try to get to you again, stalks you when you want to be alone. His intimidation increases dangerously and the air starts suffocating one as soon as he catches someone trying to harm you. Believing that his actions are justified due to his love for you, people are bound to disappear around you. He tries to keep you isolated in your house until he breaks and embraces you in a tight hug, begging you to come with him. You shouldn't stay here, it's too dangerous. He tries to stay rational and not rash things when it comes to abducting you, he doesn't want to trigger Kurama inside of you. Especially if he knows that it would harm you if he comes out.

Kurapika Kurta

⛓️ During his pursuit after the Phantom Troupe, he stumbles onto the village where he meets the person that will change his life forever. He plans to stay a bit in here and regain some energy before he continues travelling. That's when he's hit with the gossip of the town as they feel the need to warn him since he's new. To stay away from you since you're a vicious person with a demon inside of you. Kurapika is not prone to fall for such rumors though. He doesn't even know that it's you when he walks around in the forest and sees you there. You ignore him for the most part since he doesn't distract you. When he sees you later in the city again as you try to buy something but are constantly rejected, he realizes who you are and helps you to get what you want. He's somewhat disgusted with the behavior of the villagers.

⛓️ He offers you to try to help you as much as he can during his stay although he understands why you're hesitating. He's not in the mood to mingle with any of the people in the village though now that he's seen their unjustified discrimination against you and finds himself hanging more around you when he catches you. He's not forcing you into conversations and lets you decide the course of the interaction. You two grow close as you mellow out around him and he softens up too, growing more protective over you. He stays longer than intended at first since he feels uneasy to leave you. It happens for the first time when you wind up injured because he wasn't there for a moment that he snaps at whoever did this to you and harms them too, you have to hold him back as he glares intensely at the culprit.

⛓️ After that he truly starts to break. Suddenly he grows overbearing, barely leaves you alone and refuses to let you into the village. He insists to buy you everything you need, makes a fuss over small scratches and dotes on you a lot. He's realized that he loves you and is terrified that you'll be killed out of sheer spite and fear by the villagers. He wants to take you away so badly, tries to guilt-trip you to leave together with him so he can bring you to a place that is safer and isolated. Kurapika blames the fox, even if you should have found a friend in him. He probably would have even considered finding a way to get him out if it wouldn't be for the fact that you're going to die if Kurama would be extracted from you. He stresses himself extremely out, more than you do, with the situation in the village and lashes out as soon as he hears someone sneering at you or getting too close to you. The fact that everyone hates you only worsens his paranoia.

Leorio Paradinight

🧳He might talk a lot about how you can have anything with money but it's no secret that Leorio has a big heart for others. He doesn't need to understand what is going on in this city, it's enough for him to witness how you're kicked out of a store you just went in and how people mock you and make fun of you. Leorio gets angry when he sees this, hastens to you to help you stand up before raising his voice madly against everyone. How can they just treat someone like this? He strives to be a doctor, has already certain knowledge and quickly checks the few bruises and injuries you sustained. When he dares to ask you why you're treated like this, you stare at him confused before you huff and ask if he's new here. He nods, a bit confused, and you just spit the truth angrily in his face, expecting him to fear you.

🧳Instead he looks at you for a few moments before saying that you don't seem like a monster to him, you seem actually like a nice person. The comment flusters you as you aren't used to such flattery. He honestly feels sick when he hears the talk of the citizens and watches how you're sheltered from the community. He's determined to let you know that there's one person who likes you though, spends more time with you and accompanies when you're in the village so that he can protect you. You're grateful and expose a tender and sweeter side to him you usually don't show others and that is what makes him fall head over heels for you in the end. He can't even begin to fathom why anyone would think of you as a vicious beast. This vicious beast might just turn out to be your sole friend too.

🧳The people in this place are clearly in the wrong about you. He grows aggressive and very verbal and loud at one point, shouts at someone if they made a cruel remark about them and if they provoke him, he might even be about to throw hands. He focuses on helping you to heal as good as he can too. He constantly tries to make you laugh by telling jokes or acting in a way not fitting for his age if it means making you smile. He's very sensitive so when you're upset, he's unhappy too. There's a lot of verbal affirmation together with caring gestures and quality times to make you hopefully feel a bit better. Leorio is normally not someone who holds grudges or despises someone but the people in here might just manage to make him go through all of this. He's very desperate to get you out of here, begs you to let him help you finding a new house and getting out of this shitty place. You deserve better.

Illumi Zoldyck

🤎 The only reason he comes to this mundane village is because he has a mission. His target just happens to spend some time in there too so he obviously follows them and stalks them briefly before he goes for the kill. That should be it but he happens to catch the stories going through the village about how you're a monster since a powerful demon is inside of you. Illumi has to admit that this peaks his curiosity, he never heard about something like this before. He starts stalking you a bit and quickly sees how you're made the scapegoat for everything. Even his victim is thought to be killed by you and honestly, that hurts his pride a bit. You're a clumsy commoner, you could never pull out such a clean kill like an assassion. He wonders wat your true powers are though.

🤎 Your precarious situation catches his attention as he's somewhat fascinated with how much you're hated and jeered at. He admires you for never crying about it though as you instead swallow everything down. Illumi even watches you when you're home where he sees a different side to you, a side he realizes with time only he knows about. That makes him feel good for some reason, knowing that he's the only one who gets to see you like this. Due to his moments with you, he starts feeling weirdly possessive over you. He's actually glad that no one besides him knows your secrets and has seen your softer side. Having him turning obsessed and possessive means the worst or the villagers though as every bruise and injury you suffer is effectively like signing a death certificate.

🤎 People are suddenly found dead everywhere and the village panics and turns their blame and hatred towards you again. You're terrified since you know that they won't believe you, you even start fearing that they might kill you. Obviously your silent protector would let that never happen but he sees in your fear a chance to lure you to him. He's careful though as he still hasn't seen how strong the sealed demon inside of you really is. If you can control that power and would submit to him though, he's sure you'd be a perfect spouse for him. His needles should help in an emergency. Extracting the demon from you would end in your death so he's cancelled that thought out for now. You flee before things can escalate, no real attachment to your old home. You don't even notice that someone is swiftly following you. Don't worry though, he'll introduce himself very soon in the bluntest way possible to you.

Meruem

👑 You've gone through so much shit in your life already as everyone hates you and wishes for you to just disappear together with the fox sealed inside of you. You've dealt with this your entire life, hold a huge grudge against everyone in this so called "home" of yours. Yet ironically enough when Chimera Ants start attacking your village and people are captured and killed, Kurama is the one who saves you. It's pure survival instinct and fear that unlocks a portion of the power you hold, something Meruem senses even if he isn't present during the attack. He later on demands from one of the foot soldiers to tell him what happened and they shake out of fear when they tell him that a human in a village attacked and murdered countless of the soldiers. Meruem tells them coldly that they should have taken you and for that have failed before he beheads them with his tail.

👑 Whatever you used, it wasn't Nen and that is bound to interest the king. There's another power besides Nen and he wants it. He orders his royal guards to search for you and also look into the destroyed village for clues. They return with the information that you have a demon sealed inside of you and Shaiapouf advices to be careful, something that ends in a harsh slap from his king since he isn't dumb. His inital plan to kill you are out of question, he wants the power of the demon and killing you might end in Kurama's death too. To his Youpi finds you and takes you to the palace, throws you in front of Meruem's throne as the kind demands you to tell him more about the fox and how to achieve that power. When finding out that you don't know how to get Kurama out of you, he imprisons you until he finds a way to extract the power from you and make it his own.

👑 He often demands your presence as he wants to talk more to you about Kurama or see a glimpse of your power. With time he eventually starts hearing your stories about how you were treated and how you can't even feel any sorrow for the villagers, you'd lie if you'd say that you have never wished them the worst misery ever. Your stories somewhat entertain the king so he listens to them. At one point he starts respecting your mental strength for never breaking despite all the abuse and that respect eventually turns into admiration and then into something much darker. Suddenly he wants you all the time with him to keep an eye on you, grows extremey hostile around Shaiapouf since the butterfly despises you for spending so much time around the king. The notion of you dying after extracting the Kyuubi suddenly isn't a indifferent subject for him anymore since he doesn't want you dead. The king wants to keep you.

yandere Shadowpeach flamenoodles freenoodles sliktea x fem child Naruto reader x yandere kumra.

Like kumra very worried for her cuz everyone hurting her and she fall into the LMK world and Kumra takes over her body for a minute and battle the peaplo but when they find out that this kumra is part of this child ( in this she is forever trapped with Naruto which I don't mind and became a part of her so like Naruto now has ears and tails hehe)

And keeping her safe and is accidentally spilling everything to them how much she has been hurt how much she's being hunted by akusis ( forgive me I don't know how to spell it) and how they would us her cub and take her away and make the reader a monster and won't let that happen. And they exply they won't and in face they are yandere's lol

I actually had a idea for this but with a adult reader. I wonder how they would react to kurama but I guess we’ll soon know lol.

Warning: noob author, dark theme, female child!reader, yandere platonic characters, and others

Characters: shadowpeach, spicynoodles, FreeNoodles, waterspider/silktea, + kurama.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shadowpeach:

When they met you- or well kurama in this figure of speech it was when they visit their son and daughter who decided to stay on the mainland, kurama had taken over your body and was making sure no one came near you and him with the jutsu he had seen you learn over time in the world y’all came from.

Main and macaque had a bit of a flashback with lbd and thought maybe this was the same case but it isn’t….. ok maybe it is but they had seen and heard on how the one who possessed you is trying to protect you more so than himself so they conclude that the two of you know each other and stuff.

Sun was thinking on doing how he had planned with lbd before they figured out that the creature who ‘possessed’ you actually cared about you was trying to keep you safe from any possible threat and danger and even if that wasn’t what was happening macaque would’ve still stopped sun from doing that along with mk and bai he plus the others.

It took many hours just to finally have the creature let you in on control of your body but after they did they soon all notice on how recluse you are towards them and how you flinch at loud noises.

You don’t them until a year of being their adopted child; they were shocked that anyone would seal a demon into a child that was just born and was treated like trash rather than a hero for it by the villagers, the two even made a silent promise to kill all of them and maybe your friends if they interfere with you and them being a family.

Mmm, and bai he both make sure that you are as comfortable as can be; since bai he knows what it’s like to be possessed while mk make sure to train you in your strength and help each other learn the limits of the powers that you and him were given.

You never want to go back as you seem to have forgotten all about your dreams of becoming a hokage cause of the feeling of finally finding a family and the love that you always wanted but couldn’t; you always envied the ones with parents but finally you get to have that feeling plus with siblings! You had always wanted to see what it’s like to have siblings!

Spicynoodles:

You had attacked one of redson’s bulls or well kurama did as he took over your body after you got into this world.

Since this was a different situation with lbd about possession the two didn’t know what to do about it but try and sweet talk the demon into letting you be in control more so from mk than redson as he would just irritate kurama.

When they finally got you to be the one in control they started asking questions redson asks them in the loud tone while mk asks in a normal tone both overwhelming you on the questions.

When they learned what had happened in your village and how you life was with them and how they acted because of how you got kurama sealed inside you for when you were just born. Kurama made sure to tell them what had happened as you seem to not want to relive through.

They soon adopt you and make sure you never have to go through that ever again and would kill for you; and with the influence from their parents they develop a overprotective attitude towards you and seeing as you never had parents before you just think this is normal behavior and with Kurama justifying their actions so you don’t think much of it.

They treat you more like a family did than grandpa hokage ever tried to be as he could’ve done more from what they had said about it.

You also explained how a group of criminals were coming after you and others like you called the akatsuki’s which made them extremely overprotective than before.

(I honestly forgot that you requested the akatsuki part until now whoops 😂😭)

Freenoodles:

You met them when you found his noodle shop and ate a lot of his noodles; I had to say about 30 to 20 at the very least, tang and you made small talk which lead to him finding out shortly after that you’re from a different world and there for homeless so he suggested that you stayed with them and work here at his husband’s shop of course with the permission of pigsy.

You and mk get along great with each other with the fact that the two have the same energy plus with mei the three of you are chaotic together from tang and pigsy point of view.

You very much like Sandy’s personality though his cats reminds you of that mission with tora the always missing cat that seem to always be a tradition to capture it for the genins.

When they found out about kurama it was when lbd first attacked mk before sun wukong join you guys; kurama almost didn’t let you in control once everyone was safely on the mech (i forget if it was a ship or some kind of flying vehicle thing so bear with me on this one 😅)

Though when he took control he made the four tails version 2 cloak form when attacking lbd and seeing as she never seen it that made her interested in your abilities and want to come after you now which worry the two who adopted before this all went down.

The two made sure to go a little more hard on the not mayor out of aggression of his master wanting their daughter which surprisingly scared him but he tried not to let it show or else they might find enjoyment in him being scared.

Waterspider/silktea:

Mo had found you and calmed you down before you could let kurama in control out of fear of being in a new environment.

Sandy and huntsman didn’t know what to think when Mo came back with you behind him but worry was one of them for sure.

Sandy gives you tea and have the cats surround you while huntsman get you comfortable stuff to be comfortable and situated. After that you only really tell them that you’re from another world and therefore homeless which the two made sure that you’re definitely welcomed here as there’s plenty of room.

When you told them about kurama it was when felt threatened because of a nightmare that had happened in the middle of the night. They were so distraught about how the villagers treated you even though you were just a baby and didn’t have anything to do with that decision.

They’re glad that you had a few people that cared about you but both disagreed and agree with ‘this’ hokage decision with how they escalated to how you came to be raised but also glad that you didn’t turn to revenge.

You like to spend time with the cats even though you get the horrible flashback of tora which resulted kurama to laugh at how you couldn’t hold the cat properly when it was scratching you.

Sometime kurama would take control and would talk with Sandy and on some occasions huntsman to gossip about the embarrassing things you did and also what all that happened if you haven’t fully told them. They also find your big appetite on ramen noodles interesting and sometimes order them on some occasions but also not all the time since that could be bad for you even if you ate them all the time and have kurama help you not get sick.

(A/n: hope you like it! I kinda got distracted when on one of them so that’s why they came out late but I still hope y’all like it!! And hope y’all have a wonderful day/evening/night!!)

Complete Monster Near Miss: Evil Delsin Rowe

Disqualifying Factors:

Genuinely loves his brother Reggie, to the point of flying into a grief stricken rage upon his death.

Qualifications:

Heinous Standard Met: Yes

Sells out his own tribe to Augustine to avoid torture, half-heartedly thanking them for "taking one for the team" when he sees she's left his tribe and family crippled and reduced them to slowly dying in bedridden agony.

Goes out of his way to massacre civilians for petty reasons, from attacking peaceful protestors to slaughtering street performers for annoying him.

Uses his powers to kill people in gruesome ways, from suffocating people to smoke, frying enemies down to cinders, and filling people full of enough neon emergy to make them explode from the inside out.

Corrupts the sympathetic and well intentioned Fetch Walker and Eugene Sims into joining him in causing havoc, convincing Fetch to start butchering protesters and innocent civilians and having Eugene unleash a demon army on a parking garage.

Strangles Hank Daughtry to death as his kid daughter desperately calls out his name just a few feet away, leaving his corpse on the dock for her to find later.

Kills Brooke Augustine by freezing her in concrete and throwing her off a building to make her shatter like glass, before stealing the powers of all the Conduits she'd collected over the years to become the most powerful Conduit on Earth.

When his tribe disowns him for his atrocities, he nukes their entire village in a fit of rage for being "ungrateful".

Taken Seriously: Yes

Delsin is a lot more quippy than Cole, but his atrocities are still taken seriously.

No Mitigating Factors: No

See above. While he does treat Reggie poorly at times, he still goes out of his way to protect him and goes on a rampage to avenge his death.

[legend-of-the-blue-ninja]

Origin of a blue haired ninja

Zac never knew the identity of his true parents, he was discovered as an infant in the arms of a dead woman. The woman who discovered him was Reimei Stygian, the leader of the Stygian clan and a Kunochi (a subspecies of succubi that have adapted into becoming Kunoichi/female ninjas) who’s known as the demon shinobi. She treated him as his son, feeling bad for the abandoned child and raised him as her own. Zac from a young age was taught to be a killer, to assassinate like the others in the clan, though he had to rely on cunning rather then the succubi pheromones the other Kunochi had due to all of them being a subspecies a succubi. One could imagine the life that Zac led, teased and picked on by others who didn’t go all the way in fears of invoking the rage of the clan leader. He only had two individuals to call friends, an exorcist kitsune named Fennec and a fellow Kunochi named Yuki. While Zac and Fennic were like brothers…..Zac and Yuki fell in love, and became a terrifying combo once Zac’s latent water magic started to awaken. It was as if his parents had healing and water magic, passing it onto him and soon letting him form constructs with the water.

When Zac reached 17 years of age, he and Yuki were allowed to become adventurers once his adopted mother realized the potential they had at monster hunting after slaying a corrupted yokai that has heading towards the clan’s village. They quickly started to show themselves as a powerful team, Yuki serving as the main attacker while Zac was in support. It was all good until a demon attacked them. The being was crazed with the desire to cause pain and have torn apart many families in the nearby area. Zac was trying to keep Yuki from getting hit with a fatal blow, only to get tricked into being paralyzed and forced to watch Yuki get torn apart while she was alive screaming. The demon taunted Zac the whole time, threatening him that they’ll kill anyone that loves him to keep the ninja as a source of energy………Zac lost his fucking mind. The moment the paralysis wore off, Zac’s eyes glowed and started to bleed as he cried his lungs out while tearing apart the beast as his body started to expel ice. When he was done tearing the demon apart, he collapsed onto his knees at the sight of the mutilated body of Yuki, no more energy to use to heal her. She weakly told him that she loved him before dying in his arms, causing the blue haired ninja to scream to the heavens until he coughed up blood.

He had attempted to join other adventurer parties, though he always ended up on teams with other Demi-humans. This was where he noticed some humans looking down upon Demi-humans and started to exclusively team up with non-humans to show that Demi-humans and humans are the same deep down. but another tragedy occurred where an entire party got incinerated by a feral dragon, including an elf that he was developing feelings towards. This caused Zac to feel the pain again and rip the dragon apart from the inside. He swore off from ever joining another party so he never gets the chance to feel that pain again, the heart stabbing pain of loosing someone close. But as the years went on, the pain of being alone started to consume him. He was torn between which pain was worse, the pain of loss or the pain of loneliness…..he’s bound to join another party….soon realizing that would be what Yuki would want, for him to fight even if it hurts, even if he’s crying with his lungs full of blood, he will do anything to keep others from feeling the same pain he felt…..so they never experience the feeling of loss.

My sister just got the cutest puppy known to man and I was dogsitting, so for whatever reason I thought it’d be fun to write how I think the companions (base game) would react to puppies. If anyone wants to see more people from the game, let me know I guess??

Rex and Roxie have a big litter of puppies.

Arcade: 

Arcade is anxious about the idea of a bunch of puppies around, but he warms up to them quickly. He already loved Rex, so a bunch of mini-Rexes crowding around him whenever he sat down was no different (though the puppies find it fun to chew on his work, annoyingly). He finds that he worries more about their health if they accidentally swallow the paper than the fact that they’re chewing his research, though. He will step on one of their tails by accident, which gets everyone to side eye him disapprovingly.  He’s now afraid whenever why’re nearby, and watches the floor like a hawk. 

Boone:

Boone likes dogs, but Rex’s puppies initially seem intimidating- after all, Rex has made it clear that he hates his hat, and him for wearing it. So, to make sure that if that hat-hating was passed down the dogs still wouldn’t hate him, Boone bribes them with dog treats whenever nobody is around. He will try to act tough and nonchalant anyway, but the second he’s handed a puppy to hold, he’s all melty and warm inside. He secretly hopes that the King/Courier lets him keep one, but the idea of taking one of them away from their family hurts his heart. 

Cass:

When they’re first born, Cass thinks they’re cute, but as they get older and more energetic? Absolutely not. The amount of times she’s accidentally stepped on their feet or said something sudden and loud and scared them off is immeasurable, and every time Boone glares at her like she’s a monster. That, and Rex apparently passed down the trait of leaving presents inside of her shoes. On the surface, she hates those little rascals, but you will catch her letting them cuddle up with her. If you bring it up, she’ll say something about appeasing the demons, and might get defensive if you suggest she just likes them. 

Raul:

Raul complains about how playing with them hurts his old bones, but he loves the little puppies. He plays with them the second most often, actually, and if anyone is around, he’ll talk about a dog he had before the war. He’s also the least upset when they start chewing his shoes (though he might panic a bit if he’s not in his jumpsuit because the Vaquero outfit is important to him). He also probably helped name most of them, and added little charms to their collars. 

Veronica:

The best with them. Any time she’s around, she’s down on the floor playing with them. She will scour any shops for toys and treats (she never finds the treats because Boone buys them all out of stock) to give them. She also loves when they have the zoomies because she thinks they’re absolutely adorable when they’re running around. Also she thinks it’s funny that Cass gets scared whenever they run past her suddenly. She will actually sit out adventures with the Courier to dogsit. She also probably helped with the names, but only one or two has names she suggested.

Lily: 

She probably didn’t even notice there was more barking than usual until someone shows her one of the puppies. At that point, she’s practically melting in the spot. She’s very gentle with them, and, despite being the biggest, she never once steps on their feet or scares them. They seem to find her presence very comforting, and crowd around her whenever she’s around. She’s the favorite. 

ED-E:

ED-E is very confused. Where did these puppies come from exactly? Why are there so many? And why is everyone obsessed with them? He’s not jealous, though, just curious. He gains his own love for them because they seem to like ‘playing’ with him, as whenever he floats to close, they’ll try to jump up and catch him. He thinks it’s fun. 

Rex:

The best dog dad. He and Roxie are the best parents, and he has an entire village helping to raise the litter (the Lucky 38 and the Kings!).

(Mercy) Rung caused Sunder to prey on people? ( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : )

So of course Sunder eats other bots for survival, to regenerate his parts because they will decay. Animals are not enough to sustain him though they help with the hunger. However, Sunder can eat old bodies and live as a scavenger instead of a killer! For the most part, Sunder IS a scavenger, which is why ghoul myths say they hang in graveyards. However, ghouls eat fresh bots too:

Ghouls are sentient, ravenous beings primarily associated with graveyards and hospital morgues. Though they feed mainly on corpses, they are eager to devour any living visitor who encroaches on their territory.

Sunder enjoys eating warm bloody bodies much more. In the story, you see him struggling to control himself around people because they appetize him. He avoids public spaces and has no friends besides Froid. But Sunder wasn’t always like this... because initially, he didn’t associate living bots with food!

Sunder was starving when he came back to life, but he didn’t know what hunger pain meant. He didn’t attack Froid, but instead the first animal he saw:

Slowly, Sunder turned with blood smeared around his mouth and a mutilated hooved body in his arms. Froid squeaked and went rigid, but when he did, Sunder dropped the animal and reached out.

“Wait, don’t be afraid!” Sunder begged.

Sunder repeats the pattern a few times of killing animals when hunger pangs hit him. But he doesn’t kill people. His mind blocks him from seeing people as food; they are just fellow villagers and neighbours. Sunder hates Rung but that’s it, he is mad but doesn’t think he is food.

Sunder convinces himself he is still a person until Rung starts calling him demonic names. Rung refuses to call him “Sunder” and says that name in a sarcastic way, calls him “creature” and uses “it” instead of “he”. Sunder overhears all this. 

“This is not his home because that is not Sunder! Sunder’s spark is gone! It’s gone and you replaced it with a dark spark made from evil blood! That is a demon with the memories of Sunder!”

“He is not a demon!” Froid cried. “He’s Cybertronian!”

“No guests,” Rung stressed. “I don’t trust whatever that is. I can barely handle staying inside with that demon as it is.”

At this time, Sunder has no problem talking to their neighbours, walking around in public, and shopping.

“The neighbours who saw me asked me about my optic,” Sunder said. “Not the missing one… They wanted to know about the colour change. I didn’t know what to tell them, and I think they are suspicious.”

Rung and Froid faced each other, both slumped from exhaustion, and they ended their dispute to watch Sunder drop off two large bottles of energon on a shelf.

Rung freaks out at Sunder for going outside or when people are near him, calling Sunder a danger. Again, Sunder overhears this:

“Why does he keep going out?” Rung asked frantically.

Sunder had just stepped outside, but knowing an argument would break out, he leaned against the door the moment it closed.

“Relax,” Froid said. “We all go outside, don’t we? He lives in this city, you know. He can do what he wants.”

“What is he doing? You know, don’t you?”

“He’s just looking around at the things that were almost taken from him,” Froid uttered. “It is an emotional time for him.”

“There are people still walking around despite the weather!”

“And? You haven’t heard of anyone getting hurt, have you? He’s not hurting anyone!”

Sunder starts questioning his personhood and refers to himself as a monster, although Froid tries to erase those thoughts. Sunder did that before Rung, just for eating an animal, but he felt better until Rung continuously dehumanized him and treated him like a threat.

“What if… he is right?” Sunder breathed. “I think I am a monster.”

Froid put his hands onto Sunder’s thigh. “You aren’t.”

-----

“It doesn’t matter what they know or don’t know about me. What about the meaning of the truth? If what I am and what I do makes people hate me, then surely, that makes me a monster.”

Sunder crashes into his murderer and recognizes her. Until now, he hasn’t eaten a person when he needs to, so he is ravenous. That combined with rage and a feeling that he is bad anyway makes him kill and eat her. If that encounter hadn’t happened though, Sunder would have started finding the scent of people suspiciously appetizing. If he preserved his humanity, then he would have wisely found a graveyard.

Still, that was only Sunder’s killer. Sunder didn’t want to eat anyone else—until Rung tried to kill Sunder by stabbing him in the throat. Imagine the betrayal of your best friend doing that. If Rung could turn against him, Sunder suddenly thought everyone else in the world would do the same!

He lunged and jabbed its sharp tip into Sunder’s throat, and with a holler, Sunder fell back a step. Rung ground his teeth as Sunder touched his neck, eye widening as he found the pen loosely embedded in him. It was not nearly deep enough; Rung had been too weak in his strike. Sunder gaped at Rung until the smaller bot leapt again, hitting the end of the pen as hard as he could.

Sunder wants to say he’s a person, but he does not feel like one.  And in his eyes, people became the enemy. They were dangerous, but also delicious. So he didn’t feel bad anymore eating people...

Sunder restrains himself because Froid doesn’t want innocent people being killed. Sunder really hungers for fresh blood so they strike a deal that he can hunt and eat BAD people. When the war comes, Sunder is given the greenlight to eat any Decepticon he wants. 

Again: Sunder could live on old bodies. He just doesn’t because he hates and fears people and sees them as potential food instead of friends!

In the bad ending, Sunder desperately seeks help. He gives humanity one chance, because maybe... maybe he is wrong and people like Froid are out there. Sunder runs into peaceful and neutral Maccadam’s where no weapons are allowed, but this rule is broken when the patrons hear he is a ghoul. 

“Autobot!” the ghoul gasped. “I am an…”

Its shoulder turned to show a red insignia. Instead of aid, a sea of weapons rose and Maccadam squared up to it.

The ghoul’s single purple eye expanded.

Sunder’s hunger is often connected to anger or fear of Cybertronians. Sunder really wants to eat Nightbeat because he’s scared of them reporting him, killing him, getting him experimented on (Sunder’s fear of scientific experimentation is elaborated on in a bonus short story). Sunder hides behind Froid and watches Nightbeat intently, thinking he could eat them to end the threat

“Shh shh… That’s Nightbeat, who was just talking to you. They won’t report you or hurt you…”

Sunder’s needle-like claws retracted and he slunk around the berth, watching Predaking and the detective until he crouched at Froid’s side. The large bot was so still that though fully visible, the ghoul was like a patch of darkness in the corner of the room. White light twinkled in his eye socket while his purple eye coldly gleamed, and his nearly grey teeth glowed brighter from the fresh blood staining them. A dark tongue ran over Sunder’s teeth as he stared intently at Nightbeat.

It took a regular person like Nightbeat for Sunder to stop seeing other Cybertronians as threats and food. Nightbeat is openminded and figured that if Sunder and think and feel love for Froid, then he could be spoken to. Nightbeat makes Sunder feel more accepted by bringing him some food (spare organs)

As Sunder gazed at Nightbeat, his teeth retracted and his jaw closed, his metal resealing until a smooth and non-threatening face formed.

[naruto-shipping-confessions]

I am a Sasuke stan first and a human second, but ffs some of the pro Sasuke people on this blog (and tumblr in general) have some of the WORST anti SNS takes I have ever seen. The things you hate Naruto for are legit head canons at this point, and you demonize SNS to the point that it sounds like you straight did not read the manga.

Listen it will ALWAYS be fuck konoha, fuck the shinobi system, fuck the naruto ending for acting like Sasuke was just crazy, fuck sasukes character conclusion that made him a good konoha puppy and belittled his justified rage, fuck the narrative for painting the uchiha as monsters. I am WITH yall on that. But you guys put so much shit on Naruto that he never did, or make his words and actions so wildly bad faith that it's barely canon.

"Naruto said he would rip Sasukes limbs off to keep him in Konoha!" Because he was joining orochimaru? Naruto specifically said those things in regards to Sasuke joining Orochimaru because he was scared Orochimaru was going to treat him like an experiment, which he literally DOES. Naruto SAYS that Orochimaru is just going to use his body and kill him. Naruto is SCARED for Sasuke and doesn't want him to sacrifice himself. Sure it was extreme, but are yall legit mad that Naruto went a little crazy at the prospect of Sasuke joining infamous child experimenter and torturer Orochimaru? That's a fucking normal reaction?

"Naruto never cared about Sasuke's goals! He just wanted to win him back like a trophy!" Naruto doesnt know the truth for the first half of the story, he wants Sasuke back in Konoha because Sasuke is in DANGER as a rogue. Do you forget that defector shinobi have hits out on them and the villages want them dead? He never "shoots down" Sasuke's goals he just doesnt want Sasuke to be a TERRORIST, which like, i fully support Sasuke's tits out terrorism era but thats not an abusive mindset for Naruto to have? Naruto is the one who plans and leaves Konoha to kill Itachi (which, yeah that was Sasuke's business, but he wasn't brushing off Sasuke's revenge like kakashi was). He chews Itachi out to his face for treating Sasuke like shit despite knowing that Itachi could turn him into creamed corn. When he learns the truth after the Kage summit he tells Sasuke that he understands why he has done everything. He! Is! The! Only! Character! To explicitly validate and empathize with Sasuke over his actions up until that point! He is the only one to say that Sasuke isn't being out of pocket for what he has done! He is the only character to suggest Sasuke's feelings and actions are justified! Sasuke is the one who immediately tells him to get fucked, Naruto doesn't even tell him to stop or anything. Naruto is also WILLING TO GIVE HIS DREAMS UP and die with Sasuke, and he ONLY SAYS that they will have to fight to the death if Sasuke attacks Konoha. He wasn't trying to fight Sasuke to bring him back, he just wanted to protect his home (and the completely innocent people inside). Kakashi and Sakura BOTH try to kill Sasuke and he stops them both. Kakashi and Sakura BOTH tell Naruto that this "isn't the same Sasuke he's a monster now :(" and Naruto says no fuck that. Naruto is the only character to consistently see Sasuke's heart, to see that Sasuke isn't evil or unhinged he's just HURTING and angry. Isn't that what yall Sasuke stans (myself included ig) preach constantly? Naruto is the one that is enraged when Orochimaru calls Sasuke "his" and begs for his life on his knees to the Raikage, swearing that Sasuke isn't corrupt. Naruto is the only character that consistently humanizes and sees the good in Sasuke while the rest of Konoha and co calls for his death and writes him off as crazy. When the rest of team seven is like wow sasuke ur a piece of shit now Naruto is the one who says to his face that he still cares about him and is happy to know him. Even if he is preachy sometimes, he at least TRIES to relate to and understand Sasuke.

"But the curse of hatred" Naruto REJECTS that? When the sage compares them to Indra and Ashura, Naruto refuses the comparison. He doesn't agree with that or view Sasuke that way, that's a flaw in the themes of the manga as a whole, not Naruto's treatment of Sasuke. Plus he doesnt hold that against Obito either? He never sees the Uchiha as a bunch of monsters. After their final battle Sasuke says he lost and Naruto YELLS AT HIM that it isn't about winning or losing. When Sasuke says that his death will end the curse of hatred Naruto YELLS AGAIN that he's wrong and gets mad Sasuke would even suggest dying! Naruto never viewed this as beating Sasuke into submission, he never viewed it as an ideological battle, he never viewed it as dominating Sasuke. He ALWAYS saw them as equals!

"But he sweeps Sasuke under the rug and doesn't change the shinobi system" when they are bleeding out Naruto TELLS Sasuke he wants to change things and WANTS SASUKE TO WORK WITH HIM. TWICE. Kishimoto didn't write anything else, it immediately time skips, it's not his (or narutos) fault that Boruto is a piss poor cash grab with no integrity. Naruto's intentions at the end of the manga are ABSOLUTELY to work with Sasuke and change the system. Again, Naruto DIDNT SEE the final battle as him beating Sasuke.

"But Naruto kept trying to stop sasuke and bring him back to konoha!" because Sasukes path was self destructive and he didn't always do or want the right thing (capturing Bee, killing Karin, wanting to kill innocent Kage like Mei who was a revolutionary of her own right). Justified or not, even Sasuke knows his isolation was self destructive. Naruto and Sasuke could feel each others pain, they knew each others hearts, that's CANON, and that's why Naruto wanted to stop Sasuke so much, because he knew his heart, he knew that his path was causing him pain, he knew that Sasuke never REALLY wanted to be alone, it was just a destructive means to forge his own strength! He wasnt "saving" him for selfish reasons, even Sasuke admits that Naruto saved him from loneliness! And Sasuke deserves that after losing everyone he has ever loved, he doesnt deserve to feel lonely and isolated and ostracized anymore! At that point Naruto is the savior of the village, friends with all the rookies, friends w Kurama and Gaara and Bee, Hinata loves him, he isn't saving Sasuke for his OWN loneliness anymore. Sasuke is his closest person and he legit LOVES him and can't bear watching him suffer. Don't forget by the end Sasuke himself is determined to protect and even lead Konoha as a concept again, he just wants to start over bc its too corrupt. Naruto wasn't forcing him back at that point, he was trying to stop Sasuke from killing people who didn't deserve to die and succumbing to more isolation.

Man hate SNS and Naruto all you want, idc, but I'm so tired of the spewing "Naruto only saw Sasuke as an object, he only wanted him as an ego boost, he just wanted to bring Sasuke back for his own gain" because it's so unbelievably not canon. You guys whine and cry about shippers making everything shippy, but yall will shit over this manga and character at length just to hate on a ship no matter how hard u twist canon. And don't get me wrong! There are lots of things Naruto does that I hate (like his entire non reaction to konoha ordering a genocide). But I swear some of yall do the MOST.

This confession was too long to add in like the usual ones.

In the prologue, Abbot Mayhew mentions Hob reminds him “of a beast.” This is an allusion to the concept of the Beast Man, which is an illustrated figure appearing in some manuscripts, which is a non-canonical story about a grotesque man who wandered the earth (hairy visage included). Not to be confused with the Beast (the devil).

I also used this book hoping to find human-like illustrations, but unfortunately, the monstrous bodies (see Oswald) meant that all of them appear directly ghastly. I imagine that Hob, looking at the illustrations such as the ones I saw in this book, would immediately discount them against the Stranger.

Bovey also mentions an interesting fact: by the 12th century (that is, the 1100s) both laymen and women were beginning to read in greater numbers. While illuminated manuscripts remained expensive and valuable, it would not be unheard of for a layman to know how to read.

Text of the ritual exorcism (chapter 1):  lifted verbatim from page 60. The exorcism text is from the Dominican Prierias.

There were two schools of thought about angels and demons, which Hob mentions in chapter 2. The first of these, Augustine, believed that “demons gave vision and prophecies, but these failed to have edifying moral content” (81). However, he also argued demons had souls and that God had created them for divine purpose, and should be treated as expressions of divine power (Bovey, 10). He was, as Hob notes, unsure about whether demons had physical bodies.

Thomas Aquinas, who came much later, had different opinions. He said that angels were the following

incorporeal

can not and do not know the future

could not know the inner thoughts of man

faster, stronger, and wiser than humanity

had the power to cause “certain marvelous things” including the presentation of images

cannot express lust or anger

Aquinas believed that fallen angels (demons) could do all of these things as well (91-97). Of course, the incorporeal nature of them means Hob couldn’t much use Aquinas’ opinions.

“In Medieval times, distinction among the three [sex, gender, and sexuality] was not just blurred, it did not exist.” (7) Thank you, Ms. Karras, for that absolutely enlightening line. I knew that I had made for myself a harder challenge by using the time period between the 1389 and 1489 meetings, but I really struggled to write this because I couldn’t just say “Hob’s bisexual” or “Dream is genderfluid.” Medieval sex was drawn on different lines than we use: there is a difference between penetrator and penetrated, and reproductive and non-reproductive sex. Obviously, the burden on women was much greater, and combined with the “passivity” (29) that was supposedly natural to women, drew further lines. Sexuality, when it was spoken about, was within the realm of the church, particularly in the area of virginity. There is indeed a hierarchy of virginity: women were believed to become a different kind of virgin (43). Of course, neither Hob nor Dream are virgins. The canon is very clear about that. But Hob is a sort of virgin; he hasn’t had anal sex, which would be sodomy, and although it was hard to find information about anal sex in the early 1400s, I interpolated the above thoughts about penetration. If sex was something “done to someone else” (4), then if Hob had anal sex with Dream (Dream recieving), it would be arguably better than if it was the other way around. This is why Hob’s reaction is so severe. Dream is having sex with him in the second arc, and this is a more flagrant violation of Medieval sex standards than the first arc, which would be Hob having sex with Dream. (It should be noted that the first arc of sex is more permissible in Hob’s mind because he is having sex. Technically, Dream isn’t.)

Additionally, there is a clear distinction between celibacy and chastity in the Medieval times that is blurred in modern understanding (leaving kink aside). Celibacy meant the unmarried state (38), and chastity was a state of purity. A married couple having sex were both chaste, but not celibate. A husband who cheated on his wife was neither celibate nor chaste. A monk who abstained was celibate. A monk who had sex with his buddy was celibate but not chaste.

I’d also like to leave this quote here: “To Medieval people a vulva might have looked like a wound, rather than a wound like a vulva.” (70) I thought this was particularly metal of Ms. Karras to write, and also highlights how our modern brains have shifted.

In chapter 1, James references a charter or loan for books. Books were still valuable enough at this time (though becoming more available, see Bovey) that if one monastery wanted to borrow a book, they might have to send a runner with an amount of money or a letter from the king, and only then would a book be lent (116).

“To make monstrosity visible is to assure people will know a monster when they see one--which assures them they are not monstrous” (114). In my half-hazard research, I spent a lot of time thinking about monsters, because demonization (ha!) occurs through the Othering of people, and this is what is occurring in Hob’s mind when he sees Dream. The Middle Ages were dealing with multiple identity crises: war, conquest, the Black death, and the increasing literature reflected an unstable identity. The literature used “the bodies of monsters to demonstrate the way in which boundaries of identity or culture might be breached” (125), and this fear was reflected in manuscripts. People had always had a fear of the unknown, but in combination with both folk beliefs (the mara, chapter 5) and the Biblical ones, there was ripe ground for genuine fear. If they could die and change so easily, why couldn’t monsters/demons?

Sortinghatchats - Naruto & Sasuke

I have been thinking of writing a Naruto sorting for a very long time. I just really miss having a meta sorting on this anime, and since I can't find it I have to write it myself. The series is however very complex and the characters are incredibely nuanced to the point the fandom can't decide on what the right thing to do was, even after the canon happy ending. So I'm unsure how well I can do this, but I feel a bit better experienced with the system and doing this helps me to understand characters better too, so let's have at it. If you have any suggestions or opinions though, feel free to say so! Check out the @sortinghatchats and @wisteria-lodge for explanation.

Naruto

Let's start with the titular protagonist Naruto. An orphaned underdog working to become the strongest ninja in the village that ignored and hated him for years without him knowing why. This is probably the reason why Naruto's goal becomes being the Hokage, the quasi leader and highest ranked ninja of his generation. He doesn't do it for glory, fame or money, or because he cares about the people there, but "so that everyone in the village will have to notice and acknowledge me". He wants a high standing in the community that hated and neglected him for being a literal human weapon, bearing a sealed demon monster inside him without his knowledge. His arc is about going from this self-foucused bad childhood compensating reason to actual care for the people around him, growing from a selfish loud annoying brat to a selfless kind leader that connects with everyone he meets.

The growth is so gradual and slow you get to watch the key scenes that develop him as he gains people that support and love him, as he makes his own community within his classmates and teachers, than becomes an admired hero as part of the village community and them ventures out to meet and clash with the other villages, entangling himself in politics, ruling structures, wars and villainous saviors of the world. His sense of community and care for people grows to the point he humanizes even the villains and his go to method becomes the famous "talk technique" of befriending and connecting with his opponents and helping them redeem themselves (sometimes to unbelievable degrees). I mean he literally befriends the mastermind of the war, Obito, he makes the guy who killed his teacher and decimated his home believe in him finding a better solution than mass destruction to ensure peace, he even befriends the demon sealed in himself into becoming a trusted ally. An incredible badger primary growing to be totally universal, connecting and inspiring everyone and becoming the Hokage, not to get respected, but because he was so respected and made such great contributions. This seems to me like a child badger arc seeing himself and his closest as his community and expanding his people to become key to as many communities as he can find. But he also kinda stays an immature invisible badger, taken by his community and never having goals outside of the village itself.

It could also be argued it's this invisible badger primary that makes him accessible to the village's brainwashing of sacrificing yourself for their greater good, becoming a child soldier without questions, accepting missions that could get you killed young just cause the village will profit, and who exactly will profit anyway, if those are just political reasons and no one is looking for better solutions? With how many dark sides of the village are shown, from the shady tactics to enslaving techniques, their history of genocide of their own clan, sacrificing people for the mission being more acceptable than failing being the reigning philosophy. Not to mention what they did to Naruto himself, keeping him in ignorance, everyone hating him for something that wasn't his fault and treating him like a tool and weapon for wars and schemes instead of a targeted boy...it bids the question if Naruto was right believing and supporting the village, keeping the current system instead of revolutionizing it, when he understood its problems and if his devotion to the village didn't make him blind, radical and uncompromising in promoting its values. Depends on how you read the village and what it stands for, but these would all be badger things to fall for.

Naruto looks like a screaming lion secondary. He charges and smashes and improvises, it takes him ages to start making plans or think forward about the future, even the near one. Very much living in the moment and saying and doing what he feels like. It's this emotional honestly and openness that gets him intro trouble at first, but also what inspires so many people to follow and support him. He can lit fire under his laziest friends like Shikamaru and change minds of broken minds like Gaara's or Neji's, through empathy and hard work. Hard work gets a lot of emphasis in the series in general, and lots of Naruto's victories are earned and taught and trained endlessly. Maybe there could be an argument to be made for him being a badger secondary too, but he doesn't give me the vibe. Naruto shines, attrats attention, is always in the middle of all trouble. His loud nature just takes too much space that there is no self-control or negation here to be a badger sec. The way he does things is very straighforward. His fighting tactics are getting the feel for the opponent, impulsive out of the box thinking, intuitive decisions and ideas and a very try and fail method until something works out. He isn't good at communicating with people - most of his friendships start with awkward messes, angers and accidental insults. Naruto isn't reliable in situations outside of fighting, which is the only thing he trains and works so hard for, which the series goes out of its way to unterline. But Naruto doesn’t have that attitude in general, he tends to wing everything else. He always keep his word though and does whatever he believes in, calling it his trademark ninja way, and that's what inspires people. That's where they connect with him - this messy, reckless, idiotic kid is actually super driven for his goals and always stands up to for what he believes is right, emphatizes with people's pain from having experienced a lot of his own, fighting against injustice, or overwhelming enemies, no matter his chances to win. Reminds me of Ron Weasley and Sam from Lotr with this showing up no matter the stakes behavior.

Naruto could look snakey from the way he cherishes Team 7 and especially for how far he is willing to go to save a friend gone rouge, Sasuke. To me it looks more like he is just super touchy about the first few people that accepted him, that were his first community, and who shaped his moral system - his teacher Izuka who showed him empathy to Sasuke who showed him self-sacrifice. All the other people Naruto gathers become inspired and changed because of him, but Izuka and Sasuke were the people Naruto first changed for, and I think this makes them pillars of his personality and history he just can't give up on. But even risking losing his dream and life for Sasuke, his justification is that he can't be a good Hokage, if he “can't save one friend”. So he can't be the one to help people, can't take that role for the community, if he can't prove himself with one single person he cares so deeply about. This just feels like a very badgery reasoning to me. A lion would have cared about the principle, a snake about Sasuke as a person and a bird might have actually listened to Sasuke's reasons and reconsidered what was the best solution.

In a way any other primary might have been more helpful than forcing Sasuke to be "saved" in a way that complied with the village's rules and traditions of a good ninjas. Naruto acts like an authoritative badger in his belief that the only right way to live is to be part of the system and the community. So it really doesn't matter what Sasuke’s reasons and goals are, what he criticizes or what's actually the best for him. It seems to me like a brilliant moral trap how to force your friend to live according to your ideals and values while framing it as good for him. The fandom (and me) is torn about what the best thing for Sasuke actually was, but Naruto's "I will take you back screaming and with broken bones if I have to" before time skip and his guilting emotional blackmail at the final, that leads Sasuke to contemplate suicide and then throwing him a bone in "you can just spend your life redeeming yourself for your 'crimes' by joining the village again and following me" is questionable at best and problematic at worst. Admittedly Sasuke's solution before their final battle might have been exploded and extreme, but the way this was solved still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Sasuke

Let's sort Sasuke next then, who is admittedly my favourite character in media of all time and I might be a bit biased here.

When we meet Sasuke, he is a deeply traumatized and cold kid hellbent on taking revenge on his brother who killed their whole family clan in a supposed fit of powerhungry madness. And Sasuke makes finding and killing him his all consuimg goal in life he gives everything for. He is the most motivated teen in the cast of 13+ new ninja recruits, the most hard-working, the most excelling. The only thing he is not good at is teamwork. Sasuke doesn’t care about people nor about what they think of him. They are just useless ignorant and weak bystanders on his journey at worst and obstacles to overcome and learn from at best. He ranks people’s importance and his respect for them according to their abilties and power, trying to challenge mighty opponents to train and get to teachers that can actually give him the skills and tools so he can one day defeat his genius unbeatable brother. This leads me to the conclusion he is a lion primary, dedicated to a cause of revenge and everything else is just a way to that goal. 

I was considering bird secondary very strongly for Sasuke or at least a bird sec model he uses for prep and strategizing in battles, making plans and collecting tools and techniques to be better prepared. He was always one of the most intelligent and tactical characters and shined with his knowledge and maturity among the childish cast (and to add to that had two role models with bird secondaries in Itachi and his teacher and team leader Kakashi) - which doesn’t prove anything yet, since any sorting can be smart and I’m bird sec biased for it. When he starts to befriend Team 7, he drops any of this previous prep and reason though and saves Naruto during their first arc battle on the bridge. “My body just moved on its own” he tells him after taking a seemingly lethal blow for him, regretting he didn’t get to fulfill his goal of revenge. He isn’t actually killed, but this is a pivotal moment for Naruto to understand true friendship and self-sacriface and it shows Sasuke’s possible lion secondary rearing its head against his better judgment. Sasuke’s bond with Naruto is very complicated - they were similar in being ostracized orphans and human weapons used in the village’s schemes, but where Naruto tried to bond and fit in, Sasuke turned his energy into his revenge goal. They both admired each other, but never said so and turned to jealousy and rivalry, that held their friendship back even during their time in Team 7, when they got the closest. (How could they have been so close and yet not know the most crucial details of their lives like the Sasuke’s family massacre and Naruto’s sealed beast is beyond me.) Anyway, their problems often stem from being too similar to like talk things out and be open with each other, instead just getting into petty competions or insult matches, which feels kinda lion sec to me.

Naruto and their last teammate Sakura, both learned kindness and consideration from the little things Sasuke slipped in when around them and despite his attempts to strategically keep his distance from weak people. Is Sasuke a lion secondary with a bird model or just a smart kid doing his prep work and analysing opponents while having a direct approach and liking improvisation like a lion sec would? He is blunt, aloof and cool-headed most of the time, comes prepared to highten his chances but is good at improvising, which points to a lion sec he goes for when his plans and preparations fail and when the logic can’t keep up with feelings, like when he risks his life and goal for the people he loves. A bird would have panicked, but Sasuke is really good at making up strategies on the fly, though he is not the reactive type. His tactics tend to be very attack-oriented and risky, while collecting information about the opponent and using it to figure them out. 

For a while it looks like Sasuke is happy and stable with the team 7, slowly making progress, but willing to stay and love his new family over pursuing revenge. That’s things get complicated by a manipulative but brillinat rogue ninja Orochimaru inviting him to train under him and by meeting his brother again, who not only single-handedly defeats most of the powerful ninjas in the village, including Sasuke’s team leader he looked up to for techniques, but also attacks Naruto, becoming an active threat to Sasuke’s new loved ones. (The fandom interpretation splits at this point, debtaing whether he leaves the village to focus on his goal and cuts off his new family to not be swayed by his feelings for them or if he leaves because they became his new cause and he wants to protect them from the very real possibility of being killed by Itachi again). 

In any case, Sasuke goes rogue to train under Orochimaru, has an epic battle with Naruto who wants to drag him back no matter his reasons, they finally talk about how they see each other as brothers and Sasuke decides not to kill Naruto even if that gave him a power upgrade he will need against Itachi, marking the end of part 1. 

During the timeskip Sasuke trains for 3 years and grows powerful enough to get rid of his manipulative psycho teacher and then frees his experimental subjects and slaves. Even as cold and driven as he has become, he still retains a strict moral code of not killing anyone even in defense and not getting involved with any other conflict. He builds a new team from Orochi’s former prisoners and personal that willingly dedicate themselves to him (who could blame them for following a lion?). Sasuke suceeds in killing his brother, using all the techniques he collected and created over the years, only to find out his brother actually acted on the orders of the village after the Uchiha clan planned a revolt and the village wanted to prevent a war conflict with other nations. Feeling betrayed by the instituion that raised him and sacrifaced his beloved brother and family, his new goal becomes taking revenge on them in turn, against Itachi’s wishes. 

In pursuit of the revenge against the village Sasuke’s lion primary explodes. He becomes unstable and reckless, ruthless to the destruction he causes around himself, from joining a terroristic organisation to kidnap a bearer of a demon beast like Naruto, becoming an international criminal, attacking a summit of the strongest Kage leaders, leaving his teammates behind and killing when threatened. He drops reasonable plans and strategies as he fights the man behind his clan’s massacre exhausted and injured from previous encounters, overusing his eye power to the point of going almost blind. His former teammate Sakura comes to assinate him after losing hope he could be saved and he almost kills her in return and then fights with Naruto and his former team leader Kakashi. Sasuke doesn’t listen to Naruto’s reasoning of the villagers being innocent in their ignorance, feeling like his clan was a victim the village feeds their current happiness from and promising to kill anyone who stands in his way. Naruto promises to die with him should he attack the village and turn out to be irredeemable, but still believes Sasuke can be reached and brought back into the system. 

Sasuke calms down from this victimhood and sensless rampaging after his eye operation and meets the reanimated corpse of his brother being used in the Great Ninja war he slept through. Itachi dedicated himself to the cause of peace, taking on the role of a villian for the village and his clan and then build incredibely elaborate plans to conceal his actions and manipulate Sasuke into killing him and going back into the village (yay for a vigilante lion bird). Shocked the plan didn’t work out, the brothers team up against another enemy, realizing how much they lost and don’t know about each other. At their parting Sasuke announces his goal of destroying the village for Itachi’s sake (and it sounds kinda spiteful too, like he wanted to get back at him in part for what he did), while Itachi explains he is proud of what he accomplished for peace, but not at the way he lived and proclaims he will love Sasuke no matter what he chooses. 

This causes Sasuke to reconsider his cause, researching and reanimting the founders of the village to understand how it was created and what values it followed that it made Itachi so proud and convinced and ends up creating a new cause and philosophy for himself. This is however so slow and painful thing to do I don’t connect it to a bird primary. Sasuke’s system is very felt, even when he reasons. After the war he introduces a totally new exploded lion cause - he will become a godly figure that every village will unite against, keeping peace through their common fear of him (what's up with lions and god complexes?). For that he needs to kill all the current leaders, revolutionize the current system and cut himself from bonds that could hold him back, starting with killing Naruto. Naruto argues peace can be kept through collaboration and bonding. Then they have an epic fight, like two lion secs raming their solutions through each other, waiting which one will win (where is the logic and argumentation? I guess Sasuke really is a lion sec). It’s a draw of almost lethal loss of dominant hands, where Sasuke feels touched and guilty for how far Naruto is willing to go for him inclduing sacrifacing his dreams and never cutting him off even though that’s what Sasuke would and has done for his goals before and then having a vision of how Naruto managed to gather so many people to be his allies, basically connecting and making everyone he met into his community and uniting them in peace. This seems like a more reasonable way to solve things, so Sasuke unexplodes, burns, feeling like he failed with his attempts and chose the wrong answer, contemplates dying and then ends up living for Naruto’s cause. He completely reorients himself, saying he can’t trust himself he wouldn’t do it again, unable to follow his intristic compass anymore and appoints Naruto as his consciousness.

Knowing Naruto is an authortiative and invisble badger living for his community, he doesn’t change or heal the system that caused them both so much pain in the canon final (or at least we don’t see any changes from how things were before and that inadequate sequel doesn’t help). It ends with Sasuke becoming a guilty adult serving the village, working himself to the bone for Naruto’s cause, neglecting his own family (having a daugther with Sakura, an egoistical girl that wanted Sasuke as a thropy, never really understood him, but cared for him and that likes to punch her way out of situations) or any other joys he could have had in life, looking positively miserable but praised in-universe as selfless and responsible. Meanwhile Naruto sits behind the table with paperwork, having accomplished the highest community position as the Hokage and continuing the village’s legacy (which is good or sad depending on how you view the village). 

Naruto - invisible and authoritative badger / lion

Sasuke - lion that explodes and burns / lion 

Itachi - lion / bird

Sakura - snake / lion

Kakashi - bird / bird 

Shikamaru - snake / bird

They're only human

The Clover Kingdom was known for many things. It was known for being the home of the first Wizard King that had battled a notorious monster, it was known for being a stir-pot of all sorts of powerful mages, it was especially known for its magic knight's.

All six squads lead by powerful magic weilders with magic ranging from fire to mercury and even world tree magic.

And if that wasn't enough who could ever forget about Julius Novacrono. The one of a kind Wizard King loved by all his subjects.

Well...nearly all.

Deep in the woods there's rumors of villains, demons maybe, that live outside of town. No one had ever seen these elaborate demons face to face, or at least never lived long enough to tell.

At least that's what people liked to believe. There are in fact a handful of people un/luck enough to have meet them and made it out of with only minimal injuries.

Civilizans have zero clue as to how they started or where they come from. Every once in awhile there will be report of golden shadows slipping through alleyways, the feeling of space being ripped from around them leaving surrounding miles cold and still.

If you pay enough attention to the people around you you'll begin to notice things that just don't make sense and if you're smart you'll leave town immediately.

The memory of poncho town was still fresh in everyone's memory. No one was sure when it became so apparent that something was wrong with that town, all they new was with every magic knight they sent inside to investigate always came back looking a little lost. Reporting back that everything had appeared to be in order, no illegal activities daily routines meet with training skill carrying on like obedient puppets.

Some people prefer to call them myths. Stories that parents tell their children in order to keep them in line.

"You know. If you keep misbehaving the black bulls will sneak into your house and take you away to the forbidden realm, where they'll tear you apart."

What a bogus story and if only it wasn't so true. Reports of children being taken off the streets spreading like wildfire. Most being returned, the rest are kept. During this time an orphan from Hage was reported missing and the day after that a royal was stolen from her family.

The bulls didn't care for or about much. They destroyed without even thinking about it, not caring whatsoever if anyone gets caught in the blast. But that didn't make them complete mosters. They'd come to town, robes, no robes, costumes, no costumes, it didn't matter because by the time you realize who they are they're already gone.

With shadows wrapped around their shoulders, given to them by the same man, the only man to ever love them. He found them all, he had said he liked them. Thought they were funny, interesting, different, and he wanted them for that.

He was different himself, anyone could see that. He was large and the darkness of the alleyways he walked through ripped themselves off the walls and grabbed at him. Desperate for a piece of him and if not for him them his Vice would have to do.

Darkness wasn't the only thing yearning for his attention, his treasures- squadmates bend themselves backwards for him. All of them so use to being treated like trash, couldn't help but be territorial over the first person to give a rats ass about them.

So many of them have killed in the honor of, 'Yami Sukehiro', and much more people have died for far less.

A bartender that didn't know how to keep his eyes and hands to himself found hanging from his neighbors tree.

Village girl that would not stop talking about her stupid sheep dog. Half of her was found in Kikka, the other half has yet to be located.

Snotty noble that just wouldn't shut up about his magic. Found stabbed and drowned in the park pond.

Some commoner chased and killed by her own form layered onto another.

Various other cases that had to have traced back to them. The kingdom grew weary in their fear, please of, "Do something!", "They're monsters!", "Protect us!", all fell onto the deaf ears of the Wizard King.

As much as he loved his citizens, he loved his son more.

[I wanna get back into fanfic writing but life is kicking my ass😩]

[tainted-wine]

Nowhere, absolutely nowhere in your ask did you insinuate that you wanted this but I couldn’t resist getting thirsty because...you know. Thinking about it, I may have been subconsciously inspired by @bibbidi-bobbidi-birb​ and her amazing Seven Deadly Birds series. If you want some real magical Hawks action, go read her beautiful fic Gula!

What do you call a hummingbird version of Hawks? Hums?

This rambling-turned-ficlet contains Microphilia, Noncon/Dubcon, Forced oral(receiving), and Yandere vibes. Just pervy fairy!Hawks in a fantasy AU.

Anyway Hawks is a tiny bastard that has completely ruined fairies for you. Everyone in this village, a village built in the middle of an enchanted forest, welcomes the small magical beings whenever they’re spotted flying about. You knew that fairies had a reputation for being tricksters, but Keigo...

You didn’t know it was possible for someone the size of your hand to be such a menace. You should have never acknowledged him. You shouldn’t have commented on his rose wings as he hovered over your flowers, the shimmering feathers appearing to change color at every angle. You shouldn’t have given him that small dish of sweet syrup as you thanked him and his kind for using their magic to keep the humans safe from the more wicked inhabitants of the forest.

His obsession with you began on that very same day you met. At first it was endearing, the way he fluttered around you, embarrassing you with backhanded compliments that only a fairy can make sound flattering.

“You’re pretty good-looking yourself, for a smelly human at least.”

Everyday he would ask for another sugary treat to slurp up, the sweetness of his voice hiding the fact that he never takes no for an answer. He’d passive aggressively question you, because what’s more important than showing a little gratitude to a creature that’s just trying to protect you?

When he isn’t forcing you to feed him, he’s following you around like a pesky bug, expecting you to make conversation. Ignore him and he’ll buzz loudly in your ear or tug on your hair. Whatever task you’re handling can’t be more important than a generous fairy asking for a little company. His questions become a bit too invasive for your liking.

“Have any of the men here caught your eye?”

“No? And why not? Are they missing something?”

“So are you still a maiden?”

“You are? Then you must taste sweeter than anything you’ve given me so far! Why not offer yourself?”

You weren’t sure what that meant, but it frightened you. The old tales never mentioned fairies consuming human flesh or drinking blood.

He only became more aggressive and less respectful of your privacy as time went on. One night you noticed too late that he found a way into your home and was calmly watching you bathe, laughing when you screamed and jumped out of the small tub without thinking and revealing your nude body to him.

“Can I drink from you?”

You say no.

One morning you wake up to find him curled up and sleeping soundly on your chest. You react by smacking him and sending him flying into a wall. As much as you’ve grown to detest him, you still panic over the fact that you just harmed a fairy.

He smirks when he sees your fear, despite how dazed he was.

“I’ll forgive you if I can drink from you.”

You say no.

Keigo frowns and, instead of pressuring you like you expected, flies away on his damaged wings. When he doesn’t return that day or the day after, you think that he has finally left you alone.

You had your first terrible nightmare the next time you slept. They got more intense every night, dreams of shadowy beasts violently tearing you limb from limb. For awhile you try different herbs and remedies in hopes of getting a peaceful sleep, but they all fail. You begin to fear sleep, dragging your feet through the streets with dark and heavy eyelids.

Then the hallucinations haunt you. Your neighbors are starting to keep their distance, whispering to each other about the times when you suddenly collapse and scream, raising your hands in front of you as if a monster is lunging at you. “She’s gone mad.”

One night, as you sit on your bed and try to blink away the horrid creatures, Keigo returns.

You’re already on your hands and knees the second you see him and realize he isn’t a part of your own cruel delusions. You beg him to save you from whatever this is, whatever evil has suddenly taken hold of your mind. He takes a long look at your sad state before answering to your pleas.

“I can save you, if you let me drink from you.”

It only scares you for a second before you accept, ready to give him anything he wants. It can’t be worse than the horrors you’ve been experiencing these past days.

You don’t know what you were expecting, but it wasn’t the order to remove all of the clothing below your waist. When you hesitate, he motions to turn around and exit out of your window, which quickly makes you panic again as you shakily fumble with your garments.

It was the first time you exposed yourself to someone. Keigo may not be a human male, but judging by the many times he’s casually ogled you, he’s probably just as wolfish as one.

You’re told to lie back on the bed and spread your legs. The embarrassment is almost strong enough to overpower your drowsiness and week-long headache. The fairy flies and lands between your thighs, standing right in front of your virgin womanhood.

Small hands touch your lips all over. “What a beautiful flower. I’ve been dreaming about how sweet your nectar tastes since you first spoke to me.” He presses the hooded bud at the top and chuckles when your hips jolt.

Oh gods, is this what he means by drinking? No...

You’re afraid to close your eyes, afraid of whatever terrifying demons await you in the darkness, but you simply don’t have the strength to watch him violate you like this.

You don’t see, but you sure do feel the slender and very long invasion inside of you, a foreign and shameful feeling, but admittedly not unpleasant. It darts in and out of you rapidly, your nerves struggling to keep up with the speed of sensations. He’s feeding from you just like he would from a flower or a cup of sugar water.

The avian tongue is small yet brings you so much pleasure that it chases away your fears. You fight to keep your quivering thighs from closing and crushing the feasting fairy, your pussy contracting as more juices flow to soak him. 

He’ll occasionally come up for air and comment on how delicious you are, how juicy your petals are once you fully bloom, and how you’ve officially spoiled him and will no longer be satisfied by any of your sugary gifts. 

His nimble muscle works fast at collecting your moisture, pressing against your walls just enough to make you whimper as a strange pressure grew inside of your belly. You eventually gain the courage to look down, though all you can really see is a pair of wings that will sometimes happily flutter.

Keigo is still gorging himself when the tension in your gut suddenly snaps with a burst of pleasure strong enough to temporarily smother the darkness. It has you screaming into the night, and if the village wasn’t already convinced that you were insane, someone probably would have ventured out to check on you. He climbs up your stomach and rests on your chest when he finishes, completely drenched and proud of it.

He promises that the shadows will slowly go away, and you want to embrace his small form. You haven’t forgotten how despicable he’s been, but you owe him your life, or at the very least your sanity. You still shy away when he informs you that he needs to feed from you at least once a day to ensure your mind remains free. As incredible as it felt, it will always be difficult to just open your legs and allow his tongue inside your most intimate spot.

As for Keigo, he can’t believe how well this plan went. Now he can go tell his fellow fairies that you have finally made amends for your unreasonable behavior. 

When you had the audacity to smack him into a wall, he fled into the depths of the forest and alerted the others of his injuries. Enraged by the harm you brought upon one of their own, they lifted their protective magic over you, leaving you vulnerable to the evils of the woods. It truly was sad watching the unseen forces torment you, but you needed to be taught a lesson for denying him so many times and daring to strike him.

Your protection will return once he gives them the news, but you'll never know that. Instead, you’ll believe that he is keeping you safe all on his own, with the work of his mouth and ravenous appetite. It sounds ridiculous to his own ears, but it’s not like you silly humans understood fairy magic well enough to know better.

He can’t help it. You’re the sweetest flower in these woods, and he’s going to keep you all to himself.

Hello again ! I'm the anon that asked if you did omegaverse, I wanted to know because I had the idea of alpha/bloodmoon aatrox taking care of his omega/demon s/o during their heat ; but if you don't then just bloodmoon aatrox sfw and nsfw headcanons with his demon s/o pretty please ^^

[A/N: Hello darling! Yes, thank you for asking me about the topic before you requested it, I appreciate your concern. I actually never knew there was this type of AU and I do have to say that it's quite interesting. Thank you for requesting. You may ask again for more.

For this story, Alpha, Betas, and Omegas live in a single region. It’s only up to the individual if they want to live in a village with all three ranks or in an exclusively single rank village. There are different regions, meaning that there is different species/races.]

SFW and NSFW Headcanons of Bloodmoon Alpha Aatrox with a Demon Omega Gender Neutral s/o

SFW:

To simply say that Bloodmoon Aatrox was an Alpha was an understatement on its own.

He is THE Alpha of the Alphas.

He’s known throughout the village, not only for his stature but for his rank, strength, and looks.

And his reputation precedes him throughout other regions.

In his hometown, he’s feared. Not many dare challenge him, especially his choice in his mate. You. The few who do indeed challenge him never saw the light of day again.

You, who was a pretty little thing, smaller in comparison to him. His pretty one; his darling Omega, as he calls you.

He’s extremely territorial. What’s mine is mine, is his mindset. He had made an example out of a poor soul who had the audacity to hit on you, through no fault of their own since they (somehow) weren’t aware that you were Aatrox’s mate. And needless to say, you were instantly treated with respect for fear of Aatrox’s wrath.

However, the very few that hail from other regions and have come to the visit the village to only challenge Aatrox’s authority and status were not only quickly disposed but humiliated as well.

Not only territorial, but also violent, yet he never so much as raise his voice at you. He treated you with a gentleness people would never have thought he had. Feather-light touches, never going so far as that, unless you had given him your permission to be rough.

It’s not that he thinks you’re weak because you’re an Omega, you’re a demon first and foremost. It’s just that he may have stained his hands red but the last thing he wants is for you to see him as a monster. He’s not heartless, he wants to prove. He loves you above all else and would give his body, breath, heart, and life to you, he declares.

But do not be fooled, he can be rough if he wants and if you allow him.

NSFW:

Now that he has you, he has made no attempts at resisting the urge to mate during his heat. After all, why should he? He knows you love the feeling of his cock buried deep into you to the hilt and he loves how you claw at the sheets as you still struggle to take all of him despite your numerous experiences with him before.

He loves the feeling and thought of your body stretching just to accomodate his size and he loves to run his fingers over the prominent bulge that appears once he’s inside. It stirs something inside him. It’s what gives him the incentive to fill you, until it spills into your thighs and onto the sheets.

And he loves the sting of pain that comes when you dig and rake your nails on his back, only becoming another reason for him to go harder; deeper.

“I know you can take it…That’s it, you’re doing so good, pretty one.”

Be prepared to give up the ability to walk. Aatrox is relentless and his stamina can surely keep up with his drive.

He gives you little time to adjust before he starts rocking his hips. It starts slow, like dipping your toes into the water, until you ultimately submerge yourself into the water. His thrusts are heavy, hard, and filled with purpose to mate with you and breed. A single thrust is enough to make your poor excuse of a bed to creak.

His thrust makes you scream, out of pleasure and a little bit of pain, so loud that you’re sure every person in that small little town of yours can hear you and how you cry out his name. But compared to you, he holds your nickname “pretty one” in high regard and sings praises about how you’re doing so good and how you’re the only one for him.

He wants you to know, to remember, he’s the only one who could ever make you feel so good and so full that you moan uncontrollably and scream at the top of your lungs. He wants everyone to know that you belong to him and only to him. Anyone who even attempts to steal you from him-not that you would go with them-will be met with the end of Aatrox’s blade.

A telltale he’s close is when the grip on your thighs gets tighter and how he’s using it to to pull your bodies and hips closer to each other. He will ride out his high, gripping your thighs even harder, with a few grunts coming from him, and he uses his cock as a makeshift plug to prevent his cum from leaking out. Can’t have wasting a drop now, yes?

I don't understand, why would Sakura leave the village? Like, I understand feeling left out and behind by Sasuke and Naruto who are much stronger than her, but how does that translates into "I'm gonna betray the village just because I feel weak and like I don't belong"

Like. Sasuke had a reason to leave the village, to get stronger under Orochimaru so that he can kill Itachi

Naruto would have a reason in any other AU, everyone hates him and no one would miss him and the village treats him like garbage and like a monster so he might as well become that monster

But Sakura? She doesn't have a reason to leave. She doesn't have a clan to avenge. She doesn't have a demon inside her pushing her away from the rest of the village. She feels weak. So? She could just ask her sensei, whoever that is, to just... Help her train more? How does she goes from "They're leaving me behind" to "I'm betraying my village and my family and my friends just because Naruto and Sasuke are stronger than me", it doesn't make sense

The reason for her leaving originally isn’t to betray the village. She chooses to leave to focus on her own training because she’s feeling left behind

Her purpose isn’t to become a traitor, that happens because of who ultimatly decides to take her under her wing.

Kakashi.

It’s also why she easily turns her back on Kakashi and the Akatsuki when she realizes the plans they’re trying to achieve with the war. Because it’s not for her. She wanted to get stronger and she has gotten stronger. Now she can use that strength for what she wanted

To protect her friends

Kakashi could lie about their goals to train her (i have him using her for gather intel not attacking jinchuuriki) because ultimately atly his goals don’t alline with Obito’s or the akatsuki’s either. He just see’s a kid in need of some training and decides to take her on as a student.

Does she realize she has turned her back on Konoha as her training progresses and she realizes things about the akatsuki? Yes. Absolutly. But she’s also improved an incredable amount with Kakashi’s training and she wants to keep improving

At some point it becomes an act of her using Kakashi to get stronger and Kakashi teaching her to ensure that ultimately Konoha has a stronger shinobi, because Kakashi can see she’s going to make the choice he can’t

She’s going to choose Konoha, and he wants her to be prepared to face incredibly strong enemies.

Also no one needs a super influential reason to leave. Hidan chose his religion over his village. Diedra chose art over his village. Not all of the Akatsuki have big important reason’s why they left. Some of them just decided the village wasn’t giving them what they wanted/needed and peaced out

Okay this got me thinking, other then our emperor of Baharuth, what is the Erantel thinks of Ainz mother of what information they have?

Hmmmm... I would say that originally before everyone know that you're the mother of Ainz before the whole bloody war, summoning big ass demonic sheeps, and the fact Ainz being heavily hesitant on allowing you to come along to praise the word of the Darkness team.

I would say that they don't know that you exist just yet... But, you do come disguised as a traveling sewing shop (cloth proudly provided by Demiurge) to at least help Nazarick and give out an excuse to stalk follow Ainz. Two of the Pleiades maids would accompany you to gain little more money to help Nazarick, mainly Yuri and Solution. Both a great duo to attract consumers and deal with pricing. Though due to you being heavily reliant to auto battle in real life, when stuck inside the world, sometimes it's give in a little kick for you to plant in some seeds inside the kingdom for some... ideas later on.

But during the war, all I can say that you're like cyanide. You never notice it, but when you do - it's already too late. You're just like your son, an unstoppable monster.

--------------------

Barbro Andrean Ield Ryle Vaiself - Honestly few days before the third battle on Carne Village lead by him, you met him inside a noble bar on accident. You were only there to at least gain some inside on what's going on inside the kingdom after you realized the tension was high in the air when you visited. Man made the mistake to be all grabby and disgustingly perverted manner of treating you, cue to you splashing your wine on him and getting bitch slapped in return. So you were really excited to see him getting slain during the third battle in Carne Village after you held back your urges on murdering him in cold blood.

Gagaran - You met her after the accident with encountering Barbro. She was one of the patrons that cheered you when you splashed your wine at him and booed when he slapped you. NGL, I would say that every lady hates him, as well the patrons inside the bar. Both of you bonded over talking about men, travels, and showing off strength outside the bar. Both of you admire each other for own personal reasons. Honestly tis a shame that the two of you will see each other as enemies once your gig is up.

Tuare - You pity the poor girl, honestly enraged that sex rings still exist and how people take advantage of that. Honestly, like why?! Brothels exist for a reason for desperate people, but some seems to be desperate for power, dominance, and blood during in bed... You'll have her under your wing when you have the chance to help/teach her some things.

Eirika

The Princess of Renais. She is kind, and does not like war itself, but still dedicated herself to the current war without hesitation to retake her country, a goal entrusted to her by her father, the king.

Fado

The king of the Kingdom of Renais. In his youth, he was renowned for his military prowess, and he is adored by his people as an honest statesman.

Seth

Though he is the youngest of all Renais’ generals, his loyalty and superb skills in both combat and discernment make him the ideal image of a knight.

Franz

He may have just only become a full-fledged knight, but he has a very serious and earnest personality, and is skilled in combat as well, ensuring him a promising future.

Valter

A general of the Grado Empire also known as the Moonstone. He was discharged from the army for the crime of massacring ordinary citizens for fun. However...

A young woman with a strong sense of justice on a continuing journey to take out the monsters roaming the lands. She actually appears to be of noble standing based upon the way her companions talk to and act around her.

Knoll

A palace mage of the Grado Empire who studied dark magic alongside Lyon. He is one of the few people who knows the reason why the emperor, once known for his virtue, changed so drastically.
