(P.1)
[Reversed AU] - P.2
Hellsing (family) portraits.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it might not be visible in this but integra and alucard both wear red ribbons as hair tie
seras eyes’ colours are corresponding to alucard and integra’s eyes colours, they are on the right side and left side of seras, the angel and the devil on her shoulder
Tumblr media
Because she is a nephilim, not a fully transformed angel, seras can only open one wing on her right side
Integra dressed as a nun of the church to avoid uncovering the existence of supernatural force to humans. She have human disguise to avoid hurting humans because her angel form is incomprehensible to humans.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The design of the Iscariots are not finished yet, but here’s yumikel. In this AU, enrico is an occultist and he’s the only human in the Iscariot team. Yumie is the “released restriction 0” form of yumiko.
yumiko have two coloured gloves, the black gloves represent yumie is the hand shes using for wielding the katana
Tumblr media
another thing about heinkel as a werewolf, she cannot take full control over her werewolf form when she’s too excited, and her ears and tail often slip out when she is near yumi (both yumiko and yumie)
Tumblr media
werewolf heal faster than human but is not regenerating like vampire so heinkel still have scars and most prominent is the scar on the sides of her face because she rip the skin there open everytime she shift halfway.

Ok so I don’t know if your requests are open, but I’m going to drop one in case… 😅
A Joel Miller x Reader story where Joel and Ellie arrive to Jackson. Could it be a moment like where Ellie saw *possibly* Dina? They could make eye contact and maybe he’s interested in her and wants to know more? Something along those lines hehe.. You can totally add more whether it be spicy or fluff! :)
Tumblr media
AN | Please this is just the softest idea. Plus - wing woman Ellie! 🥰
Pairing | Joel Miller x Fem!Reader
Warnings | Language
Word Count | 2.6k
Masterlist | Joel, Main
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
It happened so fast that he almost didn’t realize that anything had happened. 
He was trying to listen to Maria, really he was, but he found himself zoning out more than he wanted to. Admittedly it was a lot to take in all at once and he wasn’t sure what to think or where to look anymore. He hoped that Ellie would be able to catch him up later although he had his doubts; she seemed just as distracted. Well then - maybe things would be easy to pick up on.
But then it happened. He heard something about communes and vegetable gardens but when he looked ahead, time seemed to slow down and the voices around him were muffled and distant.
He saw you. It happened so fast that he must have imagined it. You caught his eye and offered him a sweet smile but as soon as he blinked, you were gone. 
It must have been his imagination playing tricks on him. He was tired and in desperate need of a shower and nap; surely you were nothing more than a mirage. 
“Joel?” he snapped back into attention, finding Tommy, Maria, and Ellie all watching him curiously. His young charge raised an eyebrow, "everything okay?"
"Fine," he huffed indignantly, waving her off before the group continued to walk on. Maria was in front, back to explaining everything in detail as he and Ellie fell behind. She nudged his arm, silently conveying her question to him. They'd gotten to the point where they could easily communicate without words, "just a moment of distraction. Nothin' to worry about."
"I can find out what her name is," Joel almost stopped in his tracks at her sudden comment. This girl was way too observant - it was a blessing and a curse. His felt his entire being flush with warmth as he opened and closed his mouth wordlessly, "you're even prettier when you blush!"
"I'm not - I'm not blushing," he hissed but he knew he was. His face felt like it was on fire, "Ellie."
"Fine," she held up her hands innocently putting on a sweet smile in an attempt to get him off her scent. She had a plan - she was already plotting on how to get the two of you to meet, "I won't say or do anything. I'll be quiet as a church mouse or whatever that old saying is."
"Good," despite his hesitation and suspicions, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her in for a hug, "good."
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Ellie Williams was a liar. A damned, dirty liar. But it was all out of affection and care for the man that had become her father figure.
He took good care of her and was always looking out for her best interests so for once she was going to return the favor. The man had been through a lot. He deserved some happiness too. 
But she had to work smart and be subtle, otherwise her plan would explode in her face.
The first step? Naturally, she had to find you and get your name. It should have been simple…but of course it wasn't. 
Jackson wasn't small but it wasn't that big either. There were more people in the community than she had bargained for and finding you again seemed an entirely impossible challenge. She'd managed a few fleeting glances at you and that was all she had to go.
After a few days of looking she'd almost given up hope. 
Until she saw you tending to a flock of loudly bawking chickens. Bingo.
She pretended to be fascinated by the chickens…although honestly she was amused by them, and came over to you.
"Look at all those chickens!" Despite her initial thought that she would remain calm and calculated, her excitement got the better of her.
"Look at all those chickens," you agreed as you smiled at her. It took her a moment to realize you were standing there and watching her until she made a small sound of acknowledgement.
"I'm Ellie," she could hear Joel in the back of her mind telling her to find her manners, "we just moved here."
"It's nice to officially meet you, Ellie," you offered her your name and held out your hand for her to shake, "welcome to Jackson."
"Thanks," she shook your hand gently and you could feel her watching you in the way that kids often did when they were trying to glean everything about you, "it's nice being here."
"It's always nice to have new people here," you grabbed a bucket of seed for the chickens and held it out to her, "Tommy's really excited to have his brother back."
"Joel!" she almost shouted as her eyes grew wide with embarrassment, "his name is Joel. He's my…Joel."
You laughed, a sound Ellie decided she liked and that Joel would like. You tossed some seed to the chicken and Ellie followed suit, watching amazed as the chickens started to peck away, "well, if either of you ever need anything or have any questions just let me know. I was new here too once and it can be a little overwhelming."
"Thank you," Ellie knew all about things becoming overwhelming. Everything had changed for her so quickly since she'd met Joel, "are you-"
But she was interrupted by the call of your name from the distance. She silently cursed Chad, or whatever his name was, for interrupting her little plan.
"I gotta go," you offered her an apologetic shrug, "see you around, Ellie! Don't be a stranger!"
Don't be a stranger. Oh, she would make sure of that.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
“I know her name!” Ellie ran into the house, yelling, without even waiting to see if Joel was up. She found him in the kitchen, making breakfast for the two of them, an unreadable expression on his face, “the girl. I know her name.”
“Ellie,” he sighed softly, but there was an affectionate bloom in his chest towards the girl, “I told you not to meddle.”
“You didn’t say that,” she sat down at the table and helped herself to some of the fresh orange. He gave her that look and she shrugged sheepishly, “not specifically in those words.”
“You’re trouble, kid,” he sighed, affectionate though tired. He was a tired dad, “I’ll entertain you for just a moment. What’s her name then?”
The young girl softly whispered your name and oh. He liked the sound of it. Even from the brief glimpse he caught of you, he thought it suited you perfectly. He repeated it, testing it out on his tongue and deciding that he liked it. 
“Now you actually have to talk to her,” she was most pleased as Joel lightly scoffed at her, “you’re in love with her!”
Joel inhaled sharply and almost knocked the pan off the stove as he quickly turned around, “now just what are you talking about?”
“The look,” she shrugged lightly as if to say that it was all so obvious, “you had the look on your face.”
“What look?”
“The look of love at first sight or whatever,” she was now proceeding to shove some freshly baked bread into her mouth, “I’ve seen enough old movies and read enough books to know.”
“Well you must know something I don’t because there was no love at first sight,” right? Right. His hands were on his hips as he sighed at her, “that’s something made up for entertainment.”
“Whatever you say,” she made kissy noises at him and he cursed under his breath, “when you get married you can thank me. Trust me Joel, you had that look on your face."
“I had no look on my face,” this was ridiculous. She was ridiculous, “now eat your breakfast and get ready for school.”
“Joel-”
“Don’t make me ground you,” he waved the spatula at her but both of them had happy looks on their faces. It had been a long time since he had gotten to say those words. He hadn’t realized just how much he’d missed this. Ellie, on the other hand, had never really had someone that loved her as he did, that was a real parental figure. She liked it too, “do you want bacon and eggs and pancakes?”
“Yes please,” the two of them exchanged a look before breaking into soft smiles. 
Yeah…this life was turning out to be pretty okay.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Maybe there was some small part of Joel that hoped that once he had learned your name that he would somehow magically start to run into you in other places. Like that one bit of information would lead to much more. 
Well, that couldn’t have been farther from the truth. It was like the universe was somehow trying to keep the two of you apart. Every time he arrived somewhere, you were leaving, or vice versa. Every time he spotted you in a crowd and made his way over, you managed to disappear. It was like a horrible game of cat and mouse.
Maybe he just had to accept that he wasn’t meant to know you. Even if he hated the idea of that. 
But - somehow, magically or whatever - the day came when he was finally destined to meet you. 
And he couldn’t have been less prepared.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Joel was tending to his small flock of sheep, trying to clean out the dirt and muck out of their grazing area when he heard you. He was filthy; covered in sweat and dirt and probably smelling of shit. But there you were, pretty face and radiant smile waving happily at him. 
But damn if that smile didn’t make him want to melt.
“Joel!” oh. He was in trouble; deep, deep trouble. He tossed his shovel down, swallowing thickly before exchanging a look with Gertrude (his favorite sheep but he’d never admit it, he didn’t want any of the others to get upset). She seemed to know what he was thinking and baa’ed at him before nudging her nose against his leg. He nodded before making his way over to you, trying to keep his walk calm and cool and not like he was overly excited.
“H-hey,” he nearly choked on the singular word as he reached you, separated only by the fence. If he smelled or anything, you didn’t seem to mind, not balking in the slightest when he said your name, “it’s nice to finally meet you.”
“You too,” you held out your hand and the poor man stared at it - so dainty and delicate compared to his - before shaking it. You laughed softly, sensing the nerves rolling off him, but in truth, you were nervous too, “after all this time I finally get to meet the infamous Joel Miller. It felt like the day would never come.”
“Y-you’ve been wanting to meet me?” there was no way; you were like an angel and he was anything but.. How could you have any interest in anything to do with him? 
“I have,” you confessed softly, “it seemed like every time I saw and wanted to say hi you were gone in the blink of an eye. I finally just broke down and asked Ellie where you were.”
“Me?” he repeated, pointing at himself and casting a look around as if to make sure you couldn’t possibly be talking about anyone else.
“Yes,” you laughed softly, and the sound went straight to his heart, “who else could I be talking about? Unless one of your sheep is also named Joel. Then I’d like to meet him too - actually I kind of just want to meet your sheep either way. They’re so cute!”
“Yeah?” his brain was so frazzled that somehow any coherent thought he had left seemed to have left his mind. You probably thought he was an idiot but you had some sort of magnetic pull that kept him firmly in your orbit. He didn’t want to leave it  - to ever leave your presence.
“Of course,” you thought it was endearing to see how nervous he became. Truthfully, you were just as nervous but managed to hold it together a little more, “listen, I’ve gotta go but do you want to come over for dinner tonight?”
“Dinner…tonight? With you?” alright, he was going to throw himself off a cliff. 
“Dinner tonight,” you confirmed, “my house is the one at the end of your straight - with the yellow shutters. See you at six?”
“Six, y-yeah, yes,” he finally gained back some of his confidence, “should I bring anything?”
“Just yourself,” you smiled sweetly, “and Ellie of course, if you’d like to invite her.”
“Sure,” yeah, he’d ask her but part of them hoped she’d say no. He loved her so much, but he really hoped she’d say no this one time, “see you later.”
“See you later, Joel,” and then you did the unthinkable. You leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. You gave him one last little smile before turning around to flounce away, “six o’clock, Miller!”
He felt like he was going to explode as he touched the spot on his cheek that had been blessed by your lips. 
Maybe Ellie hadn’t been totally wrong on the love at first sight thing. He was definitely feeling something; something he hadn’t felt in a long time. And he loved it.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
“You met her finally,” Ellie looked most pleased with herself as soon as Joel walked in the door, “you’re welcome.”
“How’d you know?” he couldn’t even pretend to be grumpy as he looked at her in earnest. She shrugged innocently before sliding off her chair and going over to hug him; he warmed up and hugged her back without hesitation. 
“Your face,” she stated obviously, “it’s written all over your face. You look happy.”
“I met her,” he confirmed and Ellie squealed in delight. He couldn’t help but match her smile, “and she asked me - us - over for dinner.”
“Oh, you’re totally gonna marry her,” Joel opened and closed his mouth a few times, “but I’ll pass on dinner. I’m going to go over to Dina’s.”
“You knew she was going to ask, didn’t you?”
“Not explicitly,” Ellie shrugged, “but I had a feeling. So….you can go and have your dinner with your love.”
“Ellie,” no malice, all affection.
“You’ll be thanking me for this in a few years,” she insisted, tugging on her sweater and reaching for a backpack, “and I won’t mind if I get a brother or sister then either. Maybe both, who knows!”
“Ellie…” his face was bright red by now. 
“Love you!” she threw her arms around him quickly before running towards the door, “see you later - make good choices!”
“Kid…” he watched as she ran out the door and almost slammed it behind her in haste. 
He didn’t even know what to say. Maybe nothing needed to be said. 
All he knew was that for the first time in a long time, he was looking forward to the future. 
One that involved you.

memorial day
Memorial Day is always the Monday to end all Mondays, year after year. Buck discovers it’s a little bit better when you have a guy waiting for you after a stupid shift and you both get to trade war stories.
Tommy greets him with a kiss and presses two beers from a six pack to his hands when Buck lets him in, then walks over to the kitchen to put the other four away.
“I don’t know about you, but my stupidest call today was putting out a brush fire caused by a gender reveal party. You’d think after El Dorado people would fucking learn, but holiday weekends always bring out the idiots.” He opens the refrigerator door and spots the saran wrapped plate Buck left there for him. “Or maybe you had a much better day than me. Bobby cook?”
“No, uh, actually,” Buck says, hunting for the church key in the drawer behind him. “My stupidest call of the day would be the neighborhood barbecue brawl that broke out. Three guys arguing over who would man the grill. The backyard seemed salvageable when we left, but one guy’s face not so much after another dad tried to give it the smash burger treatment on an open flame. Some families were so embarrassed they actually sent us home with leftovers. I was able to weasel out a second plate for you.”
“Evan.” Tommy takes the plate out and stares down at it with a confused little smile, what Buck has taken to calling his Who Me? face in his head.
“It wasn’t hard, pretty sure Athena and Maddie and Karen got one too. Anyway, you should try the potato salad. Apparently, it’s grandma’s famous recipe.”
Buck cracks the caps off both of their beers and replaces the church key with a fork for Tommy. Tommy gives him another look before digging in. One bite of potato salad in and his eyes are rolling back in his head.
“Fuck, I love you,” he says, meaningfully at the plate and not at Buck.
Buck laughs. “Wings aren’t bad either. Cole slaw I can do better.”
“Sure,” Tommy replies graciously. He picks up a chicken wing and has the meat practically sucked off the bone in two bites. “I can’t remember the last time I spent one of these actually getting to enjoy part of it.”
Later, after Buck gets him to wipe the buffalo sauce off the corner of his mouth, Tommy gets on his knees for Buck and shows him exactly how grateful he is with a fairly luxurious blowjob. Buck comes down the back of his throat and slurs out a thank you for your service, to which Tommy playfully flips him off. And he’s no potato salad, Tommy didn’t need to say it, but he’s feeling pretty loved too.

🎵 Precinct 41 Major Crimes Unit
"*SIX* years?"
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Yeah... Or seven? You're not doing too good there. It's an old-man thing. Two *old-years* equals one normal year. That -- and Dora Ingerlund really tore you a new one. A big one."
"Who was she?"
"*Now* I've heard enough."
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Incredibly bangable?"
"Are you *seriously* using this moment to assert male privilege!?!"
"Huh?"
"Figures."
"No, I meant -- what did she do?"
KIM KITSURAGI - "He is very passionate about this."
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Okay, you're right. She was extremely fuckable, Harry. Gorgeous. A gorgeous bourgeois woman. Waifish. Like a *welkin* basically."
CONCEPTUALIZATION [Medium: Success] - Snow Welkin. Blonde Welkin...
INLAND EMPIRE [Easy: Success] - Heartbreak Welkin.
PAIN THRESHOLD [Medium: Success] - Pain Welkin.
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "I've only seen a picture -- but it's obvious you formed a real spiritual connection with how *pretty* she was. One you never recuperated from."
JUDIT MINOT - "Look..." She turns to face the sea. "The sun is going down. It's time to go home."
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "I think she taught in the Académie des Arts, east of the river. Way east. Hard to say which came first -- the middle class chick or the drink? Egg and the chicken kinda thing..."
"My point is, you need to see a *psychiatrist* about this shit. Not a psychologist -- several degrees harder. Is there's something harder than a psychiatrist?" He pauses to think. "A forensic psychiatrist. Go talk to that."
RHETORIC [Medium: Success] - In other words -- he's heard *enough* about this.
3. "Okay. Am I a dirty cop working for La Puta Madre?"
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "No."
"No? Because a suspect seemed to think..."
"Okay then."
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "You're too unstable to work for a mob boss. You're suicidal, Harry. No mob boss would take you."
+5 XP
TRANT HEIDELSTAM - "I assure you -- I wouldn't consult for a corrupt unit."
LOGIC [Medium: Success] - He would immediately backpedal out of it.
VOLITION [Easy: Success] - I told you it's not that bad.
4. "Precinct 41… what kind of station is it?"
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Us? We're the *Bloody Murder Station*, haven't you heard? We're the bad guys. No one likes us."
KIM KITSURAGI - "That's not true. Jamrock is too big for one precinct. You're just understaffed. And everyone respects the 41st -- you have Captain Pryce."
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Thank you, lieutenant. You're being kind. It *is* an understaffed station and the district *is* too big -- which is why we need to..." He tilts his head northward...
JUDIT MINOT - "... get back to it. We left Torson and McLaine to run the C-Wing. It's not good."
"Torson and McLaine?"
"And the C-Wing is…"
"And Pryce is..."
"Did we recently shoot up a church by any chance?" (Point to the church.)
"So I work in the Bloody Murder Station?" (Conclude.)
JUDIT MINOT - "Mack 'The Torso' Torson and Chester McLaine --" She arches an eyebrow. "They're not fit to run a wing. Believe me. Things are shaky as it is."
CONCEPTUALIZATION [Medium: Success] - They *are* damn iconic though -- Torson and McLaine!
"An iconic duo I take it?"
Not now.
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Yeah -- not like *us*. Two clinically depressed old men. Where's the contrast here? We're garbage."
2. "And the C-Wing is…"
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "God..." He sighs. "There are four wings, Harry: A, B, C, and D. We're in C. It's made of losers and clock-punchers. You and I *re-conceptualized* it as a task force. It was a mistake."
TRANT HEIDELSTAM - "There's also a lot of outside help involved. Not only me." He smiles. "Other losers too."
SUGGESTION [Easy: Success] - He's anything but a loser. Although he would like to be seen as one. It's cooler that way.
3. "And Pryce is..."
JUDIT MINOT - "Ptolemy Pryce? He's the son of the old Pryce -- one of the founders of the RCM."
KIM KITSURAGI - "He's one of the most highly regarded men in the force. You're lucky."
ESPRIT DE CORPS [Easy: Success] - Somewhere under the curved roof of a former silk factory, shaped like a ladybird with two chimneys, Police Captain Ptolemy Pryce sits behind a heavy wooden desk. Resident medic Nix Gottlieb pours him coffee. It's silent in the captain's office...
They speak of change. The city. The tension on the streets. They speak of the events of April and the blood on the streets in May.
4. "Did we recently shoot up a church by any chance?" (Point to the church.)
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "So he remembers *that*... Yes, there may have been a raid on *some* churches. It wasn't good press."
TRANT HEIDELSTAM - "Shooting up churches never is. I was out of town, to be clear...."
"What happened? Why did we need to go there?"
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Our *enemies* were hiding in *a* church -- to the best of our information. That's it. I'm not talking about this anymore. Your security clearance is *shit-tier* right now. You have to wait for it to go up."
+5 XP
AUTHORITY [Easy: Success] - He means it. The RCM and its enemies will not be discussed on this coast.
PERCEPTION (HEARING) [Challenging: Success] - Your clearance will not go up while you're within earshot of the Union headquarters.
5. "So I work in the Bloody Murder Station?" (Conclude.)
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Okay -- it's not the Bloody Murder Station. It's an old converted silk mill with green desk lamps and a coffee corner. A lot of good people work there. Hard. Every day."
JUDIT MINOT - "Jamrock is the largest ghetto in Revachol. Faubourg, technically... but it's divided into *eleven* districts. Jamrock only has us."
KIM KITSURAGI - "The press will blow over," he says in a reassuring tone. "Jamrock is lucky to have you. And it's often considered to be the greatest of the districts -- you're lucky to have it."
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Thank you again, lieutenant."
5. "The phasmid -- I need to tell Lena about this ASAP."
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Who is Lena?"
ENCYCLOPEDIA [Easy: Success] - She lives at 1113 Tabernacle Road, in Jamrock. Remember?
"A cryptozoologist. She lives in Jamrock, on Tabernacle road. She told me about this phasmid."
"No one. Forget it."
JUDIT MINOT - "Tabernacle? It's on the way over. Near where you live, on Perdition..." She looks at Vicquemare.
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Fine. If we're gonna drop you off anyway."
KIM KITSURAGI - "She and her husband were conducting the search for the phasmid. It's their discovery -- in part."
"They should know as soon as possible. It would do you good to deliver some positive news for a change."
SUGGESTION [Easy: Success] - She is going to be over the moon.
ENDURANCE [Medium: Success] - Watch out or she'll faint.
6. "Lieutenant Kitsuragi -- what will you do now?"
KIM KITSURAGI - "Well -- first I will go back to my station and write the most detailed report anyone has ever seen. It will have to be good to cover all this. Then I will have a serious talk with my captain."
"About what?"
KIM KITSURAGI - "Detective, we just stopped a small-scale war. Something is happening to Revachol." He takes a look around -- into the deepening shadows of the streets -- then pulls up his collar.
"I don't know what, yet -- but it's going to be a hard spring for the RCM. We need to get ready. Infiltrate. Investigate."
SHIVERS [Challenging: Success] - Distant traffic. A scrap of newspaper drifts by, carried by the wind.
PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Legendary: Success] - It says: "Tensions rise in Terminal YC In light of the Débardeurs' strike in Terminal B, among representatives of heavy industry in Coal City..." you read.
INLAND EMPIRE [Easy: Success] - Le Retour...
"Wait, you mean The Return?"
"Want to do that at Station 41?"
"Good luck with your report."
KIM KITSURAGI - "Perhaps..." He watches the scrap of newspaper hit the ground. "There are people who say the Zone of Control will not hold up long. They're not on the radio -- yet. But there are parties out there..."
TRANT HEIDELSTAM - "Yes." His face darkens. "I hear worries -- from systems analysts in Vesper and Messina. International risks departments in banks. People like that."
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "We've been hearing whispers in Jamrock too. Ever since fall. I agree that something is happening. People are tense. I hear a fan spinning. Fast. Something is about to hit it."
2. "Want to do that at Station 41?"
KIM KITSURAGI - "Talk to Captain Pryce? I'd rather not ruffle the feathers of *two* captains with my doom-mongering."
"No, I meant *investigate*. Come work in Precinct 41."
"Yeah. Sure."
KIM KITSURAGI - "Work *with* Pryce?" A crooked smile quivers on his lips. "I'm flattered, but I don't know if I..."
ESPRIT DE CORPS [Easy: Success] - Would fit in? Am crazy enough? Can take the stress? He doesn't know how to finish the sentence.
RHETORIC [Medium: Success] - This truly came as a surprise to him. Not a bad one. But he's at a loss.
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Flattered? You're Lieutenant Kitsuragi. *We* would be flattered if you even considered..."
KIM KITSURAGI - "I would have to tie things up in GRIH first. But... I mean, whatever is coming -- Jamrock *will* be more central to it than the harbour." The lieutenant turns very serious all of a sudden.
+5 XP
JUDIT MINOT - "And we also have a huge case load, lieutenant," she says with a smile. "Piles that we need to get back to. Mountains, even."
KIM KITSURAGI - "I do like the sound of that..." He returns her smile.
RHETORIC [Medium: Success] - He's *really* considering it.
7. "I'm ready." (End.)
JUDIT MINOT - "Good." She looks at you, then Vicquemare...
JEAN VICQUEMARE - "Fuck it, let's go." The man points down the street. "Trant brought his motor carriage. It's a 20 minute drive to Jamrock."
SHIVERS [Medium: Success] - Under the night sky the great district sleeps: A black chessboard of old wooden houses, 80,000 living souls inside. Firetraps as far as the eye can see -- from Main Street to Precinct 41 atop the motorway, to Boogie Street forking into the darkened horizon...
You close your eyes and hear the dogs bark. A lone woman sits by a factory window, dreaming of meteorite strikes. On Rue Saint-Gérôme a square bullet slides into a square-shaped chamber. In Old South a man without eyelids smiles. Spring has come. It's time.
ESPRIT DE CORPS [Easy: Success] - "Torson?" "Yes." "McLaine?" "Yes." "Heidelstam?" "No." "Vicquemare?" "Yes." "Du Bois?" "Of course."
"Really?" Nix Gottlieb looks up from the list. "I hear he's unstable." "You say that like it's a *bad* thing," Captain Ptolemy Pryce gestures with a ball point pen. It's dim in the office and the curtains are drawn. "Harry's our man, he'll pull through. When he does, he'll side with the people." "Understood." Gottlieb returns to the list. "Minot?" "Of course."
JUDIT MINOT - "Wonderful," the woman looks north. "Then can we please just go back to Jamrock now?"

post-s3, syl and the shade :)
Post season three! massive season three spoilers. Pat sat across from Sylvester, remembering the last time he'd been at Ritchies, trying to sit next to--well. Not him. But the booths really weren't meant to accommodate two grown men side by side. 
"The shakes here are really good," he said, glancing at the menu. "You always liked--"
"Vanilla malts. I remember what I liked, Pat." Sylvester snapped, but softened. "I still like them. Being... indisposed... didn't change that. "
"Glad to hear it," Pat said. "Anything else look good?" After days of hospital food, Pat guessed that just about anything would. 
"Give me a minute."
Pat picked at the edge of the table, still smiling. He looked across the diner to where Yolanda was cleaning the counter, and gave the good old smile and nod to Zeke, who was sitting at the far table with the High school math teacher and ... He was pretty certain it was Father Thomas, from the Catholic church down the road. Zeke waved back. Richard sat two booths back, further from the windows, sipping a cup of tea. 
It was almost like being, well, back in the JSA's lunch room. a bunch of other people he knew and cared about, eating lunch, enjoying their day, and him sitting across from Sylvester, waiting for him to decide. 
"You need another minute?" Maria asked, flipping open her ticket book. 
"I'll have the double bacon cheeseburger, no tomato, no lettuce, no onions, extra cheese, and a Vanilla malt." Sylvester said, without waiting for Pat to nod. 
"Hi, Maria," Pat smiled. "I'll have, uh. The sweet--" he paused for a moment, a flash of memory choosing now to needle him, "Sweet potato fries, and the chicken special?"
"You got it, Pat. Anything to drink?"
"The vanilla malt," Syl reminded her. She waggled her pen. 
"I gotcha."
"Just water's fine, Maria. Thanks." Pat smiled at her again, and she left.
"So." Sylvester said. " You said things were different but I-- didn't expect all this."
"Yeah, it's pretty spectacular," Pat beamed. "I don't know how I got so lucky."
"One way to put it," Sylvester said. "But that's you, Str-- Pat. Always going where you shouldn't--and don't get me wrong, it works out. If you hadn't disobeyed me, the ISA would have got the Staff--"
"Courtney calls it Cosmo," Pat interjected. Sylvester kept going.
"and then they'd have won.  You sure made some choices, but it all worked out in the end."
"It did," Pat said, shifting a little uncomfortably. " and we've been building something really special here."
"Oh, I've seen that. Dragon King's daughter, huh?"
"She helped us save you," Pat said. " She's not like her father." he paused. "Anymore," he amended."
"It seems like there's a lot of that going around." Sylvester said. "You always did want to see the best in people, Pat. You're lucky that didn't get you killed."
"Right," Pat said weakly. 
Maria set down his fries and Syl's malt. Starman pulled the paper off the straw, taking a long slurp.  Pat picked at the fries. 
"So who else is still around? You said Icicle's gone for good this time..."
"Yeah," Pat said. He wasn't aware of the details, and didn't want to be, but he'd known the steadiness in Artemis's voice to be truth. "Obviously you saw Charles after the surgery. Justin should be back in town soon. Courtney even found Wing..."
"I meant our enemies," Sylvester said. Pat saw the Shade's head tilt just a bit as he looked around to see who all had overheard Sylvester. Luckily, the diner was mostly empty, and Father Thomas seemed to have the others at his table's attention. 
"Well. Fiddler and Brainwave are dead. Dragon King is... handled. You know about Ultra Humanite. Gamber's dead too..."
"What about Sportsmaster? wasn't he with that Tigress chick?"
"Crusher and Paula are dead," Pat said, dropping his fry. 
"Crusher? Paula?" Sylvester frowned. "You called them by their real names?"
Pat swallowed. "Yeah," he said, suddenly hoarse. 
"Oh, my god," Syl said, watching Pat's face. " You--that's the same look on your face when Maggie dumped you. You sure know how to pick 'em, bud."
Pat jolted, and the room flickered just briefly as the Shade appeared directly behind Sylvester. 
"That," he said, in his most patient, and most terrifying, voice. "Was entirely uncalled for. You have been nothing but rude to our friend. That I can forgive. But you slight his judgement. You slight Barbara. Little wonder no one could tell the difference between you and Ultrahumanite."
Pat saw the way the light died completely in his friend's eyes. Sylvester twisted, the malt glass sliding perilously close to the edge of the table. 
"Take it back," he snarled at Richard.
"Shan't," Richard said. "It is out of deference to Barbara and Patrick that I do not take you on a field trip you would assuredly not enjoy. Apologize." 
"I am nothing like that monster!" Syl said, lashing out. The malt tipped, soaking into the pile of napkins. "Pat--"
"That wasn't fair," Pat said quietly to Shade. "He won an Oscar. He fooled all of us--"
"He was unkind to you. Just like this lout."
Pat looked at Sylvester, looking at him with more pain in his eyes since he'd woken in the hospital and asked if it had hurt when the ISA had killed him. He'd begged forgiveness for not protecting him. And he'd made his dozens of tiny little jabs. 
It was hard to reconcile the two people--the Sylvester he made excuses for, the Sylvester he loved like a brother. 
"It's ok," he said again.
"It is not--" Richard started.
"It's not," Sylvester said, just as broken.  Pat winced. "No," he agreed. "But... it will be. It can be."

I love eating large amounts of high calorie food. Tonight is no different. 40 chicken nuggets, 17 chicken wings, pork pot stickers, and mashed potatoes and gravy. All that food is after I have already drank almost 11,000 calories of strawberry milk/heavy cream mixture. I don't think I will be able to move in the morning, much less fit into my church suit. My pants are already about to explode off my body. Maybe by Tuesday, my work shirt will no longer fit.

Ginger and Rocky wedding night headcanons? 💍💕
Oh sure, I always wondered if Rocky and Ginger ever did anything to officiate them being a couple!
-They had a small celebration, nothing too big or fancy. The hens, Fowler, and the rats gathered around and sat in rows (as if they were sitting in pews in a church) and watched as Ginger (who wore the rat's badminton birdie over her head as her wedding veil) walked down the aisle. (Would Fowler be the one to give her away? Probably!) Rocky, folded his bandana into a bowtie and watched in amazement as his beautiful bride walked over to him. Mac played her harmonica "Here Comes the Bride" as many of the hens (and the rats mostly) cried.
-I'd like to think Rocky went ahead and decorated their hut with pretty flowers, to surprise Ginger with when they got home that night. (Well, he never mentioned it, but he absolutely got Mac, Babs, and Bunty to help him make everything pretty since he doesn't have much of an eye for decorating) But thankfully, they let him take all the credit.
-We don't see either Ginger or Rocky with wedding rings on their fingers. So I'd imagine that proposing with a ring is a "human thing". I would imagine either case: Rocky simply proposed to Ginger one night when things were getting romantic, he took her wing into his and told her how much he loved her, how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her as his hen. OR It's a chicken custom to propose finding the most juicy and tasty worm you can find, and tie the worm around your lover's finger. The lover will admire the beautiful "ring" (haha ringworm) before gobbling it up.
-(maybe this one shouldn't count because it's as cheesy as parmesan) but imagine Rocky and Ginger eating a delicious worm-ghetti meal for their wedding night, slurping it up like Lady and the Tramp with their beaks kissing at the end!
-Last but not least...Rocky and Ginger on their wedding night...well...I can leave that up to your imagination (plenty of stuff i cannot mention on here meh hehehe)

What if the MC had a child?
For both TWST and Obey Me, what if the MC had a child after the events of the game? Here are some upcoming long-fic ideas I have;
Notes; the MC here is mentioned to be female, and her child is given a name for clarity. MC also has no romance with anyone, so the child isn’t related to any of the in-game characters. The character mentioned is not the MC, but their child.
“The angel in the basement.”
(Obey me: MC).
Gwynn never saw the miracle in magic. To her it was quite elementary to use one’s fiery breath to melt the butter on their toast, or to ask the west wing a favor for braiding hair, or make the flowers on your nightstand sing you good morning instead of listening to a snazzy phone alarm. (Sunflowers were her favorites; they had the sweetest voices, like honey, honestly.)
Gwynn never saw the curiosity of creation. She always sat listening to documentaries bored out of her brain, listening to theories of the “big bang”. What’s the point of learning something when you already knew how it happened? She had half a heart to get up and tell the world just how it was made, but her mother was always stern about not saying a word about such matters.
Gwynn never saw the philosophy of what happened after one passed. Reading theology and theory always had her confused, and sullen, pursing her lips and pondering about whether or not she should spill the truth, wondering how it would be received. Truth was an odd thing like that; always sought, but never received kindly. She always pondered on who would believe her, before tutting and putting the tome away. Rambling on to her mother about it, the two of them chuckling along.
Gwynn never saw the evil in demons.
The vicar’s many rants about the “vicious seven lords” would always have her biting her lips in restraint, holding back a smile and a laugh, her mother giving her a strict look of indignation, whilst popping her own eyes out in humor. It was just too good, listening to the evils of “the great sins” while thinking of all those video calls gone wrong with their antics. There was never a day where they didn’t leave church smiling, her mother reminiscing of Gwynn’s “god”-fathers, over some nice coffee. Whenever these tales were shared in mocking voices over video calls, everyone would get a good laugh out of it.
The world always seemed a little bit brighter in those moments. The light and warmth of paradise never felt so distant, in Gwynn’s life. No, never. It in fact always felt to be shining down on her, casting her in its warmth and love, eternally.
Indeed, Gwynn never saw the evil in demons. Never. To her, they were just about as heroic as even the most virtuous angel, and just as nuanced as the most faithful human. Though, sitting in the small basement of a church, as the vicar handed her food, her idea of piety had begun to crack. “For you, my angel-“ “I’m not your angel.” She glowered at the man, kicking the tray away. “And I never will be.” He only smiled softly, watching the glittering light from the window frame her face. “Oh, my angel… I’m sorry, I must have come during an off-mood!” He had a gentle chuckle, an oxymoron to the sheer depravity of his nature. “No worries. Even those whose hearts can heal the fallen have their off-days.” He winked at her, friendly, fatherly, disgustingly. “I’ll come back later, around dinner. Do you prefer steak, or chicken?” He tilted his head inquisitively, rolling his shoulders. “I’ll just get you both!” And he walked away without a care. Indeed,
Gwynn never saw the evil in demons.
But she could always see the evil in man.
Set post the plot of the Obey Me game, after MC returned to the human world to raise her child, Gwynn, the young healing mage finds herself locked away in the church basement, mistaken for the angel Raphael, as the day to return to the devildom approaches at rapid speeds.
The fic deviates from “the MC has no idea about the otherworld” by having the MC explicitly know and accept the existence of the otherworld.
Divided into three parts, “trapped”, “welcome”, and “home”, the fic takes place over Gwynn’s journey through her arrival, acclimation, and settling in the devildom.
“Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the youngest of them all?”
(TWST: Yuu)
“I don’t want to go in..” the little girl clung to her mother’s leg, scared of the shifting, writhing mass of the mirror before her. In waves, the black surface of the bathroom looking glass rippled and dipped, up and down, up and down, in large, ebony swoops. Within these bulbous shapes that would dissipate into the smooth edges of the once firm glass, the pale palm of a hand would appear, ashen and white, it would beckon and reach for the young girl, a silent whisper of the eye, asking her to join, to step through in delightful mischief. But mischief and malevolence were confusing to the little one, the two big words very similar in her seven-year old brain, their many syllables and consonants coming out in convoluted messes when she tried to sound them in her head, the noise echoing in her scared little brain.
Her mother gawked pensively, ogling at the mirror in an odd mixture of intrigue, excitement, and deja-vu, memories and hopes all coming back to her in odd thought. How long had been since she last saw such a thing? How long had gone by on the other side?
Carefully, she watched the hands in the ripples, tracking the bends and curves of their elegant fingers and perfect grace with protective eyes, squeezing her daughter’s shoulders. Down, they would sweep, down in large, elegant archways, towards her daughter, some of them, and then up, pointing at her gaze through the rippling and dancing surface of the molten looking glass, towards her, others would point. Both of them, she realized, we’re being beckoned, both of them being called back yet again, for another adventure, another year, another trip to the other side.
She stared for a bit, glancing down at her daughter. Over her shoulder, into the living room, she then stared at the lilies shading a slumbering Grim, placing the pieces together in a growing g grin.
With gentle, loving hands, she picked her child up, pointing to the flowers. “Lailah? Sweetie? Do you remember those flowers?” Sniffling a little, the little girl nodded, now more curious than scared. Her mother stroked her squishy little cheek, pressing a small kiss to her forehead. “Remember how you brought them back after Grim set them on fire?” Again, a sweet little nod. “Well,” her mother went on, “you’re very special for doing that. You’re…” she paused playfully, “magical!” And finished with a smile.
Lailah waited for a bit, before gasping in realization, in a cute little face of surprise, with bright, happy eyes. “So, I’m like your friends? who you told me about in your stories?” Her mother laughed lightly, waking up a sleepy Grim with a light tap to the head. “Yes, sweetie. Yes you are. And, you see, if we go through the mirror, you’ll be able to meet those friends, and others who can do the things you can. And you’ll learn how to do more things.” Confused, Grim watched his henchman and his ward talk, before his ears lit up in pretty blue flames, reinvigorated and excited, jumping ahead to go start packing as Yuu followed him.
“But,” the mother whispered, looking at her daughter sincerely. “We’ll only go, if you want to go. Under no other condition. If you don’t want to go, then we won’t.” At that, Grim stopped packing, holding a pair of shorts in his teeth whilst a t-shirt hung precariously out of reach of his right ear, slipping as it twitched in curiosity, waiting for little Lailah to respond.
The little girl sat in her mothers arms comfortably, looking around the messy bedroom. A suitcase lay haphazardly opened, almost falling off the edge of her bed with how much weight rested in one wing, ready to combust with how many shirts, pants, suits and shoes had been haphazardly packed into it, held only by straps. Grim paced about impatiently, but he did not look at her unkindly, waiting without a word to let her think about it, even making his flames make little flowery and butterfly shaped sparks to make her smile a little. Looking curiously at the cat’s tidbit shaped tail, now that she thought about it, did other cats have those? Did other cats have fire in their ears? Did other cats speak? She guessed not, since Mom always his Grim away whenever guests came over inside the laundry basket.
She always wanted to meet Mom’s friends. Mom’s other friends sounded fun, and miles more interesting than her boring neighbors. She always wanted to know what merfolk were like, and how faeries actually looked. Maybe the world on the other side of the mirror was less scary than the mirror itself. She looked back outside the door to the bathroom again, and nodded at her mother quickly, giving her a quiet “okay”, as Grim quickly resumed his packing, whining in despondence as her Mother undid his “handywork”, attempting to actually organize the clothing properly before merely tossing everything in, quickly dashing to the still ruminating bathroom to gather some quick toiletries, and lightly jogging into her daughter’s room to pack a separate suitcase entirely for Lailah.
Lailah herself merely sat beside the suitcase on the bed, watching Grim ramble on excitedly about “another year of making people’s jaws drop with his awesome magic”, as she daydreamed, already thinking of what to say when she’d introduce herself to her mothers’ oh-so coveted friends.
Set after Yuu leaves Twisted Wonderland and makes a life for herself and her toddler, Grim of course included, the mirror calls her back once more, ready for her second year at NRC, though this time, a second guest seems to also be invited; and a very young guest indeed.
Yuu’s child will in fact have Magic in this fic, as well as a signature spell, but Yuu will still be completely magicless. Additionally, Lailah’s magic might work a little differently, though that’s under development for me.
I wanted to try and experiment to see what the characters would be like after all of Yuu’s help and influence; this fic is more lighthearted than the Obey Me one, focusing more on the chemistry between the OC and individual characters rather than the intense plot.
Well, that’s all for now. Feel free to comment or repost; let me know what you think!

The Nephilim and Damsel in Distress Tropes
The Nephilim Trope and The Damsel in Distress Trope
This is the driving mechanism behind the Superman/Lois relationship and why it's been in the forefront and psyche of our comic pop culture for so long. You often hear of their 80-year romance and how that itself confirms it's virtue. Understand that yes his creation was based on Moses, a savior to the Hebrews and his creators were Jewish. The humble origins of this character gave hope to the creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. It is my understanding that the Lois Lane character was inspired by a dominant female person in their lives. Think it was a spouse or a real-life feisty reporter. Either way, Superman has evolved over the decades in the Silver Age, Golden Age, Post-Crisis, Infinite Crisis, New 52, Rebirth comics even in the Snyder films, he mirrors a Christ-like figure in scene motifs of the church and space by sacrificing himself.
Yet his story plays out more as a Nephilim type. It is sold as that in the Rebirth and TV shows where he marries a human woman and has children with her.
As a god from heaven that fell for a human woman and saves her. For some this may sound romantic which is why these types of stories are repeated over and over again. People romanticize something greater than themselves. They are stories that rescue them out of futility. Unfortunately for the story of Nephilims was not a good one. It too originates from Old Testament times where angels who’s job was to be watchmen over humanity decide to leave their posts and have sexual relations with human women. This in turn produces giants or men of reknown like an alien-human hybrid. They weren’t good but evil.
Angelic Heroes and Wings
I explored this concept of angelic heroes in a previous series which is why I decided to put wings on Superman. And Wonder Woman as well. Her wings were different from the golden eagle armor costume. Even tho one rendering made them look like it. The intention was angelic wings. I extended the wings to bring in the Greek myth of Pegasus in a later series. (The AI struggles with it in some cases so I made edits as best as possible).
Let me be clear, I don’t see Superman or Wonder Woman as evil beings. The wings truly represented them as angels that save and help mankind. Which is why when I saw that concept being copied on IG by other AI peeps, they weren’t doing it because of this reason but because it looked cool and would garner them likes and clicks. I found it especially repulsive when they hashtagged their work with “SuperLucifer”. I hope you understand why I was pissed. But IG is rampant with intellectual theft. Heck Mark stole the idea for FB so this spirit carries on. Reddit has numerous horror stories. I've done makeup blogging and photography work, so I have horror stories of my own.
But back to why DC dropped SuperWonder. The Nephilim myth carries weight in popular culture. Kal and Diana almost mirror a “Zeus and Hera” dynamic. In one way, yes they are like gods but you don’t want them as that couple. Zeus was a philanderer.* Which is another aspect to this why you see people say they don't like it because they would be overpowered. Humanity at it's core is selfish and easily threatened. People who say stuff like this, whether consciously or subconsciously see these characters as "golem" meaning they are mythical beings that should serve humankind only. That they should be centered around a single human love interest or they will go off their leash, off the rails and destroy everybody. It's a strange fantasy. Almost like a psycotic desire to be saved and destroyed by the same superhero. We really have issues with ourselves. Frankly I can understand this, the world is so messed up. The Nephilim and Damsel-in-Distress is a bubble that people want to run to. They don't want mature stories. And DC isn't capable of that. They have a formula like a cookie or fried chicken recipe and they don't want to muck it up. In the case of Gunn, they want Marvel's recipe but I don't think the seasonings pair well with the offerings of DC. Time will tell but the whole thing stinks. Trust your nose guys. Some of you are hip to senses like smell. :D
* I also should say that being the SMWW pair are equals, they could be new Zeus and Hera creating their own new pantheon of gods. But there can be so much more to that. They really are made for each other.
Also wanted to add that again DC isn’t as creative as they think they are and are scared of this couple. Easily manipulated by rabid "Nephil-Damsel" fans on X. Every time I look at my feed, it's back and forth war between Snyder and Gunn fans. Knowing that they just do that to farm impressions to get paid makes it all the more vile when you look at it. It would take time to shift the general population over to seeing SuperWonder as a viable couple. It's so ingrained in the movie and comics world that when you see Superman, you automatically think of Lois Lane. Many consider it abhorrent to think of this character with anybody else. So much so that they've lifted Miss Lane up to a level of godhood. This Nephilim trope also applies to Wonderbat. Bruce is a mortal albeit heroic man. Diana is a demigod/goddess. That doesn't work either because I've explored explained that in another post.
Really the only way is Kingdom Come but with who we have at the helm of DC, I wouldn’t be holding my breathe.
I've worked at Cons. I've seen the people who create the comics and the general vibe. Our whole society is shifting into dark areas and comics reflects that. We've gotten The Boys, Brightburn and even the Snyderverse is considered "dark", so it's not surprising that the Gunnverse is promising to lift everyone out of that abymssal void to a form of inspirational, fun heroism. Snyder should have finished his verse, it's just going to. be another gaping hole like SuperWonder is. Marvel and many other cherished properties are experiencing an erosion in interest and fatigue from the general audience.
There would need to be a serious paradigm shift to get people to see SuperWonder. Part of the reason why I did an exploratory in the AI with Diana and Clark which we have never seen in any live-action. And I say see SuperWonder because I was a Superman-Lois fan, I consumed, watched repeatedly all the shows and movies. (Except for Smallville and new show Clois show, couldn’t get into that). I immersed myself into that but felt that something was amiss. I don't even remember when I saw Superman and Wonder Woman together but it clicked and made complete sense. Like scales coming off the eyes. Seriously. I respect differences. My daughter isn't a SuperWonder fan, but she supports me and will wear my art. It would be great to call a truce between the two ships but that might take a while. That takes maturity and right now there isn't much of that going around.
Until next time… ✌️
