Demon Slayer Characters and if I Think They Can Walk in Heels

I SWEAR IM NOT DEAD

Now that I’ve moved into my new place, I’m just trying to get some stuff sorted out so apologies for the delay, I swear I’m working on your requests T_T

In the meantime, here’s this post that I finished a few days ago that I started during finals season

Enjoy!

Word count: 1.4k~

Part 1 (you're here!), Part 2 (coming soon), Part 3 (coming soon)

Modern au-ish...

Mitsuri Kanroji

She doesn't really wear heels unless she's going out somewhere

Mitsuri will wear heels if you take her to a club, a date, a restaurant, and any other nicer event

But honestly, she prefers running shoes!

They're convenient, comfortable, and they tend to match their outfits more often than not

Do not get me wrong, Mitsuri can definitely rock a pair of heels

I would say that the highest she can go is six inch heels and that's it

Anymore than that and she's wobbling

Mitsuri's favourite pair of heels is a knee high gladiator sandal that's all gold, and maube about 4-5 inches high?

It pairs lovely with her favourite dresses and skirts, especially when she's going out of her way to turn a few heads

I also think that she's the most graceful out of everyone here

Overall 9/10 she absolutely slays this

Obanai Iguro

He thinks it's stupid that he needs to clarify this at all

Can Obanai walk in heels? Without a doubt

Your next question should be if Obanai chooses to wear heels

And shockingly, he does

I think that Obanai will sometimes wear a two inch loafer heel just for some added height

Hella confident in them too, look at him go

Obanai will totally wear them to work, class, or anywhere he feels like putting on a little bit of effort into what he's wearing

I think on more fancier occasions, like a high end date or club, he might wear some pointed toe stilettos with a nice pair of slacks

Honestly he's not really one to exclude heels from his wardrobe, he's just weirded out by how fascinated people are on this topic

8/10, nailed it

Tengen Uzui

Do I think Tengen can wear heels? I know for a fact he can

But I just think that he never does because he can never find any in his size

Poor guy

To be fair, this man is fucking huge

I even have problems finding boots that fit my calves, deep down in my heart I know that Tengen has it so much worse

Cause even if he manages to find something that fits his foot, it might not fit the rest of his leg

He's actyally really devestated about it

All he wants is a nice pair of pumps to match Hina, Suma and Makio

And maybe a pair of lobster claws...

3/10, a slay in theory but not in practice

I WILL GIVE HIM THIS, if he manages to pay for a custom pair of heels, he will probably rival with Mitsuri in who looks the best in heels

Sanemi Shinazugawa

He says he can walk in heels

But I assure you, he cannot

I think that Sanemi is lowkey intimidated by the results of the other Hashira on this list and now he's in too deep to back down

So when asked if he can wear heels, he will lie to your face

"Obviously, you think I'm gonna allow a pair of shoes to get the best of me?"

Sanemi, you've got a big storm coming

All his machoness goes away the second that he puts them on

Why is he walking with his knees out...

He's not even wearing stilettos, no

Sanemi's wearing three inch cork wedges

They don't really suit his style so he'll never go out of his way to wear them

I think after embarassing himself like this, he's never going to want to learn how to walk in them

-2/10 Sanemi you fucked around and found out huh

Shinobu Kocho

Can absolutely strut in six inch heels no problem

I think that Shinobu wears heels often, especially if she's going to be out in public where she is certain she's going to encounter someone she knows

But I don't think she enjoys wearing them

In some way I think Shinobu wears heels on a semi-daily basis to compensate for her short stature

She wants to be on equal standing with others and in a way, this is her way fo tring to achieve that

Two inch boots aren't going to stop her from being taken seriously

She does try to find some light in her circimustance though

Her favourite pair are these cute mary janes, and she has another pair with a platform sole

So even if you see her wearing heels, please don't mistake that she finds them powerful to wear

It's more of a social thing really

7/10, I wish she had a better experience :/

Kyojuro Rengoku

I am going to say this as nicely as I can

Please be patient with him, he's learning T_T

He can still get to where he needs to go, he just looks a little unstable???

Kyojuro would really appreciate if you held his hand a little

Though I will say, he is enthusiastic about learning!

In a few months he can probably walk just fine in them

I don't think that he would wear them to work or on a date, but he might if he's going to a particular event where you try to look better than usual

Like a high end club or exclusive event, he'll probably wear something classy

I think his go to is wither a pair of corset heels or high blocks

Obanai is lowkey jealous because Kyojuro doesn't really need the extra hight

4/10, keep up the hard work :)

Giyu Tomioka

My first instinct was to immediately put Giyu on the 'Not Allowed' list

A hunch just told me that he would somehow cause more trouble if he wore any

But I considered it further and came to this conlcusion

Giyu can and will walk in heels, just nothing above three inches

He tried walking in four inch platforms and he was nearly tripping every two minutes

And if Tengen sees him exiting his apartment wearing them again he will not hesitate to put those things back where they came from

Giyu does like wearing heels though, even if he's not allowed to wear very high ones

Only wears them if he's going to a club though

His favourite pair is a professional looking pair of blue, beige and black slingbacks with a three inch heel

5/10, but he's walking on thin ice

Gyomei Himejima

I don't think that Gyomei could walk in heels smoothly, but he can certainly get from point A to B

He just can't do it gracefully

If Gyomei walks in heels, he won't ever admit that he's struggling and he'll insist that he's walking just fine

But he has his arms outstretched like he's walking on a tightrope

It's honestly just not his thing, and I don't think he would be able to incorporate it with his current wardrobe

Even if he had the desire to learn, I think he would hear the struggle that Tengen's going through and just give up

He already has to go on a lengthy search to find anything to fit him regularly, let alone a pair of heels

2/10 I can't say I would recommend this for him, no

Muichiro Tokito

You know those pictures of kids wearing their mom's heels?

And their foot barely fits in the shoe?

And they just look so awkwardly out of place?

That's Muichiro

Poor baby

I think he has some growing to do before he's going to learn how to walk in them

But Muichiro definitely wants to learn!

Given how his sense of style is usually baggy or loose fitting clothes, I can see him maybe going to Obanai for style advice in the future

Probably nothing high or flashy either, just probably a pair of classy heeled boots

I just don't think it's for him right now, at his current stature

Muichiro just looks a little bit out of place in them right now though...

1/10, maybe when you're a bit older buddy

Prompt, tfa, starscream, twins, bittersweet reunion

Bittersweet indeed! These bitties have spent their entire lives catching flak for the sole crime of being half flight frame. Jetstorm shamefully hides his red optics behind his visor and never takes it off, not for anyone. They were told from day one that they were the result of a brutal decepticon attack--their evil sire assaulted their carrier, who unfortunately died bringing them into the world. They must repay the debt of their existence by endlessly serving the autobots as their only flyers.

So they're initially very, very frosty toward Starscream when the elite guard manages to bring him into custody, but 🤭 close proximity to him does something to their sparks. There's a weird prodding, a buzzing warmth that they can't ignore, and try as they might they're inexplicably drawn to him. While en route back to Cybertron to have Starscream executed, the twins are assigned watch duty.

The pull on their sparks is coming from this other mech, and they demand answers! What has he done to them?! What is this trickery? How is he doing it?

Long story short the extra-close contact errodes away the block and the fragile carrier-creation bond blossoms to life once more. It's weak, so so weak, but it's there. They can feel each other, and he's somehow familiar to them--a warm presence they knew so briefly on the day they were born. They're shocked, devestated, maybe in denial, "Is not being possible! Our carrier is being dead, dying many vorns ago, he was!"

It's inarguable though, the connection they have isn't something that can be faked or fabricated. This is real. The carrier they had lost, that had died because of them and their wicked, evil decepticon father... is right in front of them. And- And he's a decepticon, not an autobot? They... lied? The autobots have been lying to them, all this time? How did they end up in their custody? Who is their actual sire? Why- What- How-

Poor bitties are so confused, shaken, distraught. Their entire worldview has shattered and is being rewritten. They've been living an elaborate lie their entire lives, and happily serving the very people that kidnapped them away from their mother in the first place. They're terrified and feel helpless, because what can they do?

They can start by breaking Starscream out, and making a run for it, together 😌

Who is Hassamplays?

Why is Hassamplay getting famous on youtube and google trend without low subscribers?

Is Hassamplays coming back to gamer battleground?

Hassamplays is former Pakistan's most popular player of Pubg, FreeFire, Counter Strike and many other games. He played and won soo many compatitions on domestic and national level when he is just "14 year old". I also attend his matches personally. He is plays different from other players and most down to earth person. Once i met him after he won Counter Strike online match with his team against bangladeshi team, he met me and talk to me in very humble way.

Early Life:

Hassam born in Pakistan's city named Rahim Yar Khan. He and is baby brother Zain have craze of gaming from childhood from their cousins. He started is gaming experience with 90s and 20s games. Hassam always played everygame with planning and he think & played 2 step ahead from everyplayer.

Studylife

Every popular gamer have 2 options. 1st option is to focus on study and play games less and 2nd option is to play games 24x7 & forget study, result is their grade is getting low.

But i was shock when i confirmed Hassam is not only best at gaming, He is excelent in his study and grades. He got A & A+ in every exams. Hassam is a biggest example for every gamer kids that you can do game and study both in excelent way.

PrimeTime

Hassam played most popular games like Pubg, FreeFire and Couter Strike and many more. He won almost every battle online or Lan gaming. He got Pubg "Conqueror Rank" so early. He also played 1vs5 and 6 matches.

Hassamplays was very famous and polular gamer in gaming world till 2020. Every Pakiatani gamer know his name. Everyone chanted his slogan "Game On, Level Up" when they just hear Hassamplays name.

Fall Time

Quote: "They are not jealous of what you have. They are jealous of what they can't have."

Every rising and hard working person experience legpulling in his life. People try to hold you back when they can't see your success and your glowing your bright future.

In January 2021, Someone hacked to Hassam's cell phone and his Computer. Hacker download all his data and gaming accounts. Hassam contacted with Pubg and other gaming company for recover his accounts but no one listened to him and not reply his emails. Even cybercrime team also can't recover his accounts and failed to found the hacker.

It was very devestated for Hassam to lost all his precious data and gaming accounts. In newspaper they estimated Hassam's accounts price was for 50,000.00 in US dollars. After some months a anonymous hacker who was Hassam's Fan voluntarily found Hassam's Pubg accounts and sent details to Hassam. Detail showed hacker hacked hassam's account and sold it to Someone in Dubai. Hassam sent these details to Pubg's atthorities but they still refused to do anything.

Hassam tried for a whole year to recover his accounts then he lost all his hopes and leaves gaming world.

[depressedhatakekakashi]

Had a thought about head canons for Dragon Gai. Specifically about his long life and him slowly aging throughout the centuries.

I imagine Gai aging so slowly as a dragon, that for a LONG time he doesn't notice. Especially with his depression when he first transformed. But also a lot of things that indicate human aging are no longer attatched to him. He has maybe a black maine that doesn't change colour (imagine if he gets someone to cut that from a crazy maine to a bowl cut every year or five, and him just being kinda super attattched to that hair style and the humans who cut his hair also being excited to do so. Maybe it's a great honor in the kingdom (imagine what they could turn that dragon hair into! XD!!!)), he has no wrinkles, or loose skin. And I imagine him sitting with Kakashi on a cliff one day, watching the last of his friends get buried and asking "is this why gods never get close to us... because it hurts so much to watch us die?" And Kakashi just putting a hand on his scaly arm and maybe giving him a hug. (Because he needs one!)

So anyways for a few hundred years after that conversation, Gai stops believing he can age at all. He's actively flying to other lands. He's learning how other people live and bringing that knowledge back to Tonika so the village can learn and advance at a faster rate than any other nation that exists. He's learns new philospophies and takes the time to learn new languages, and has gotten a penchant for talking to people in riddles just to mess with them and see how they react. It's quite funny to him. Sometimes he finds people, or groups of people in horrible situations, and just decides to bring them back home to Tonika. Bringing more ethnicities into the village and more diverse thinking, but also a more clever society. (The firest time he came back with like 20 people on his back and says he's coming back with 500 more, I'm sure Tonika was surprised. But everyone learned to deal with it because... well. No one is going to question or backtalk the mother hugging dragon keeping them safe!).

And then one day, 700 hundred years later, Gai finds himself... tired. That it's harder to move out of his cave. Kakashi may acually have to help him up sonetimes or to massage his muscles. Maybe even get Tsunade over and perform some acturpuncture. And neither know what was wrong he just felt...stiff.

Another hundred years go by. Gai feels slower to answer questions. It's getting harder and harder to fly and when he does, he needs time to recover. One day someone is cutting his maine and they come across a white hairs and Gai finally knows what's happening to him... he's aging... which means he'll be dying and it's a mix of fear and excitement. He's in absolute wonder until he looks at some of his art of Kakashi he feels... regret... and fears leaving his friend alone again. Especially now that he knows he did so before and the results were devestating... He has to come up with some precautions before he passes. He's pretty sure he still has time to do so, he's just not sure how long that is.

So he gets busy. He finishes art projects in his cave that will hopefully last forever. He finds a family that has been noble, loyal and kind to Tonika for hundreds of years, and he introduces the title of "king" and "queen" to the people and suggests this family, which gets a near 100% agree rate and starts watching people make a castle for a stronghold near the middle of the city, to protect them when he can not. He's learned a LOT about architecture over the centuries, so he borrows designs/ offers advice to the makers, so by the time they're done there will be a structure that can watch over and protect the entire kingdom long after he's gone. He may have even donated some of his scales, so there are rooms in that castle that are basically unbreakable! Im case of the worst case scenario (a fact that may have been forgotten to time or is just refered to in legend.)

Then slowly but surely... he starts to find it harder and harder to move out of his cave. He loses the ability to fly because it hurts his back and joints to much. He's colapsing under his own weight as he slowly gets to old and frail to move himself. Maybe he could retreat to the rivers and ocean if he wanted to make his life a little easier... but he chooses to stay in the mountains. Close to his home...to Kakashi. Where he first met him a previous life time ago. Next to the man he adores and who visits him regularly still...who now learns he's dying now that Gai has prepared everything.

And he's sorry to leave Kakashi. He didn't want to hurt him again like he apparently did the first life. He suggests Kakashi can go if its too hard to see him like this. He just doesn't want him to get hurt and drown the world again. Even if that means Gai dying all alone and being eventually forgotten...

But Kakashi shuts that down. And confesses one of the reasons it was so hard on him the first time Gai died... was because he wasn't there to say goodbye...He truly didn't see it coming... and he would NEVER let that happen again. He won't ever let Gai die alone again, no matter how much it hurts him.

And Gai falls a little more in love with Kakashi all over again...but can't find it in him to tell him. He never can get over that final layer of unworthiness and self loathing in his mind... he just gets a promise for a proper burial from his best friend. His remains will not be fought over or ripped apart like some greedy seagulls swooping down on him... he will die properly, his remaind scattered and disposed properly and what ashes remains will be buried or scattered properly, never to be found again...he will have a proper finding resting place, just like a human that he always was... just as he deserved.

It takes somewhere between a week to a month for Gai to finally die, and Kakashinever leaves his side. He gets him water and food and helps keeps him as comfortable as he can... when it's finally time, Gai hopes that next time he sees Kakashi, he gets to see him as the man he always was...

(And then a bunch of gods attack but that's not Gai's fault.)

Ok probably the only things i would change is

Not Gai introducing the idea of a monarchy to protect the village, but the villagers realizing they’re about to lose a very powerful force that protects them and deciding they need to do something to protect themselves because Gai had been attacked and people have tried to go to Tonika as other civilizations grew and began travelling, but Gai always protected them. They won’t have him anymore so they need to protect themselves

Kakashi knows gai is dying. He realizes it before anyone because he recognizes those signs, but he also doesn’t know how long that process will take so he chooses to ignore it in favor of making memories (filling the hole in his heart kinda idea)

Gai’s ashes maybe being molded into something like a weapon by tenten, and gifted to the new ruler (nonbinary ruler) as a symbol of their status. They take an oath to protect the village just as The Hero Gai did and to keep it prosperous and strong. The ashes have no magical power so even though some try to steal the weapon thinking it is magic because of gai, it really is just a really cool sword (that maybe gets lost for hundreds of years until two mortal kids go exploring in the forest beside the village and find it in a tree that no one can remember being there.

But i really love the idea of Gai getting one lifetime to learn what a painful existence immortality can be, and then in a much later lifetime deciding to accept the offer of immortality with the full knowledge that it will HURT sometimes

[loversj0y]

it’s me again! crimeboys au where Wilbur is a witch hunter and Tommy is secretly a witch ☹️

- 🍐

got distracted writing and did not see this but

this one is more angsty to me bc i like the idea that they're already brothers, like established family type thing, and that witchcraft is something you dont choose but is chosen for you (tw for angst, mentions of hurting ones self, and definitely not an allegory for my own queerness)

so the night tommy is alone in his room, gets frustrated at something, and suddenly the lights in his room are flickering?

hes devestated. he begs it to not be true. he has never been a religious person, but that night he fucking prays.

and in the morning, wilbur is talking excitedly about how his last outing went, and how they were able to take down another witch, and every word feels like a stab in tommy's gut but he has to play along, he cant let wilbur know, his brother, who he adores and looks up to, he cant possibly let him know

so tommy tries to hide it. tries to act like its not real. subdues every magical impulse.

until it becomes too much. subduing natural magic is dangerous, and the results could be deadly if done for too long. so one day, after a particularly stressful evening, he's in his room, pacing the floor, and all of a sudden, he thinks for a moment about his frustration towards himself. and within moments, there's a bright flash of light, his windows are broken, his door's been blown off his hinges. and in the middle of it all, is tommy. laying there, passed out, with magic still pulsing from his hands.

wilbur isn't there when it happens, he's on a mission. but when he comes back to a call from phil telling him tommy's in the hospital, he rushes there immediately. hospital staff have a policy on not reporting any magic users, they know its far more dangerous to do that than to heal them and provide them some brief safety. so when wilbur arrives, and he finds out what happens.

he's devastated. because tommy was hurting himself. because his little brother was a witch, the one thing he worked to get rid of. and he didn't know what to think of it.

until he sees tommy. sees his little brother, pale and passed out in a hospital bed with an IV attached to his hand, and suddenly he feels like sobbing.

he rushes over and takes one of tommy's hands in his own, and is almost at a loss for words, but eventually manages to stutter out

"tommy, why?- why didn't you tell anyone? you were hurting yourself"

tommy's reply is meek, voice barely audible. "i didn't want to disappoint you."

The Book of the War: Enemy information

General Partly due to the Timelord's lack of understanding/self awareness. Not a species or faction but an all consuming process. It's, "how" and, "why" are important and matter not the, "what". Maybe has a quick and convenient two part name. Did not create the Frontier in Time. Maybe disgusted by the Celesits like everyone else. Not as close to immortality as the Celestis. Civilised, cultured, and intelligent enough to have an agenda beyond destruction. Prime target: The Caldera, (and thus the Eye of Harmony). (Their destruction will wipeout everything linear). Wins by default if the Timelord's altered the Protocols maybe erasing their own existance.

Nature: 1.Destined to oppose the Timelord's due to it. 2.Only understood by the Timelords 400.B.T.W.. 3.The idea that the ware was result of increasing Timelord paranioa makes a certain sense given it. 4.When it became clear the Nne Gallifrey Project was started. Understands the need for diversity, (cutural and military). Coincidence can be mistaken for enemy action, failing to seperate them is paranioa, separating them too widely is underestimating the enemy. Like the Timelords are willing to ignore the fallout until it creates something practical and spectacular. Not motivated by physical or temporal survial/preservation. Recieved no diplomatic overtures due to the Presidency's interference. Knew the Dronid proxy gang war would lead to full scale spiral politic wide military conflict. House Dvora best understands it's reasoning. Represented by a black box, (nothing). Has knowledge of human hisotry and pop culture. Doesn't come from an alternate universe. Tries not to break the laws of physics. (Reps specific or the leadership also being cnsiderate?). Operates on principles the Timelords aren't built to understand/could not be understood without the game logic prompted self awareness. (Applies to the reps to a lesser extent). Interactive propaganda are typical creations: a.Shifts. b.Xenoprediction, (which encourages the perception that being predictable is unpredictable and generates time conflict based philosophical doubts). c."You" diversions propaganda, (which exploits these doubts). Has a remarkable ability to counter all of the Timelord's moves. Was drawn into conceptual warfare by the Timelords. Virulently hated the Timelords during the early War. Has not filled in their, "back time events" of the Battle of the Anvil Stars. Could have a far more devestating impact on history then the Yssgaroth. Turned the War King, (ie: The Master or the War Cheif) a genuine concerned patriot. Circa 1650, (soon after the Tokugawa isolation) the enemy and or it's reps observed The Guantlet from Ainu territory. Maybe less creative then Posthumanity. Assisted by some timetravelling posthumans out of belief and to enable timetravel technology theft. Studied Timelord weaknesses long before the War started. May know that black suns/spheres are a recurring Timelord enemy visual motif. Could impliment the 8th Doctor;s imagined attack from the Riveria Manuscript. Might see the Doctor as just another Timelord. Has almost polymorphous varied life abilities. (Seems to refer to the leadership but could also refer to the rep variety). Somehow linked to the Order/Cult of the White Peacock. May have some association with the colour brown. Hadn't fully manifested itself until after the Battle of Dronid. Erased certain high leveal weapons technologies from Gallifrey's noosphere. Destined to fight the Timelord's because of it's nature.

Leadership Deploys some Anarchitects and creates some Shifts directly. Retro earases crucial method information when necessary. Capable of: a.Temporaly transporting a severed head even with piryon and anti piyron traces) b.Keeping a severed head alive with a honey like substance throughout the entire life of the universe. Described as, "an afront to every scientific dictum in our repitoire". Can infiltrate a Celestis meme mine. (Maybe given the access by allied Celestis?). Appears as an absence in recordings. Like the Timelords can: rewrite the timeline, subtly rearrange the historical metastructure, and send agents when necessary. Can covertly steal a freshly detached limb from Gallifrey before it hits the ground and offer it back to it's original owner before it was removed. Maybe connected to the Timelord's long buiried fear of another enemy emerging. May share charcateristics with the Mal'akh, (ie: Somehow connected to their opposition's collective subconsious, variable forms, and mysterious leadership). Could be to the Timelords what the Mal'akh is to the Grand Families? The High Council and War Council keeps it's identity secret to keep the Timelords scared and motivated. It has a dounder/leader but focusing on them is pointless. Might observe or join in Timelord interrogations via a direct proxy. Didn't start the War to entertain itself. Can kill or absorb people via contact in a bright light. One unrecordable visual form appalled both a Timelord agent and a 1990's Hollywood executive. May want to revive something or someone dead/may consider themselves dead? May have erased the Through the Eye of Eternity episode, "Miss Hiroshima". It's motivation may involve a stolen future. "it's also possible that the War was the result of the increasing paranoia, (this makes a certain sense given the nature of the enemy)", War Predictions, The Book of the War.

Reps Early rep troopers were just as ill equipped, confused, and macroscopic collective colonies of: nanonachines, battle germs, and time measles as their Timelord counterparts. Couldn't defeat Babels unless they were renderedm vunerable from within and even then required numerous suicidal waves. Has always fought against such mass produced forces. Dronid criminal gang was caled, "The Incorporate". Has a fleet stuck in a perpetual fugue attempt to breach Utterlost's realtime. Faught a more conventional space battle at Kaiwar, "The Roar". Regular and perhaps more direct reps used in Praxis interrogations. May need interiabar chart as much as Timelord agents. Are: bled, analysed, have biomass removed but rarely slaughtered by the Faction. Those trapped in the Labyrinth happily formed temporary truces with Timelord agents as their fear of it trumped their hatred.

Technology Allied Celestis supplied specially designed military concepts including anarchitects, (from which they discover Shift creation). Zero Time: articial time form intended for Gravity Spider weapons avoidance, (Timelord trick to make Gravity spiders move effective). Many timetravel methods share an inherent weakness exploitable by Gravity Spiders. Detroyed all but 73 Casts in their failed Gallifrey attack. Timeship eater weapons. It took several suicide attack waves to destroy internally disabeled Babels. May use charged casual nexus chunks in the form of black fifreballs as weapons. May use noosphere weapons to corrupt beings into mindles crazed killers. Theorised to be able to use upper choatic limiter settings and engineer .V.U.E.'s. (.V.U.E. information: crash, corrupt, vanish, and self falsify). Honey like life preserver/extender. Time technology may sound similar to Timelord demat. Temporal observation technology that detects any incursion at tacticaly important sites regardless of size. Nanomachines and germ warfare used during the early war. Can reduce a Type 103 .T.T. capsule to a transparent globe 2/3 full of green sand. Can create an use other, "flavours" of time. Ability to hide something in Gallifrey's sun. Have an eye of Harmony to protect from attacks of ignorance and power timeships.

Non reps and their technology Breif alliance with former Posthuman War Godess Immaculata Formosii within the first 50 years. Entrusted the President's head to the Order of the Dragon for safe keeping untile the end of time when they'd collect it. Like the Timelords: a.Used the pre anchoring Eremite/House of the Rising Sun Labyrinth for storage and communication but quickly realised how worthless it was and routinely destroys enterances. b.Hired alot of exotic mercenaries during the Lethean Campaign including the Knight Errant who everyone, (likely just the reps on the enmy side) may have been grateful was destroyed. c.Agreed to the Voodoo Charter. d.Is content to ignore small timetravel abuses. Might be allied with The City of the Saved's, "The Sons of Tepes" but this is most likely their wishful thinking.

[puff-mmd]

Was woken up at 4am and instead of sleeping like a normal person, i laid in bed and thought a what-if au where yakumo and kaisei actually did get together.

The effects were devestating, i was crying over fictional men before work, love that.

Anyways, so. How does it even happen.

The last time Kaisei sees Yakumo in the story is after he cuts Ciro off - tells him to not contact him outside of work, he won't hang out with him or Yoai anymore. This is a little bit after him finding out about Ciro's "girlfriend". He ends up with Yakumo again, because he's just.

He's so sick of being played with, used, cheated on, and ultimately alone. He really thought Ciro would be The One, but seeing as he had someone, and didn't even know for sure that Ciro liked guys, those hopes were again crushed.

He ends up breaking down about it in front of Yakumo in both versions. It kinda freaks Yakumo out, because he's so used to seeing Kaisei bounce back from these things.

"So this guy didn't work out, I'll try again! It's okay this guy turned out to be a scumbag, I didn't really like him all that much anyway."

Those kinds of things.

So when Kaisei is just crying, saying he's so tired of the same things happening over and over, Yakumo is worried. That even when he feels like someone will work out it's still the same result. He eventually stops crying, and he's quiet for a bit.

He's hoping beyond anything he knows that Yakumo might comfort him.

In the normal story, he stays quiet - Kaisei then gets up, gets dressed, and it's the last time he says goodbye to Yakumo (as after that is the whole after party scene a few days later, resulting in Kaisei learning the truth about Ciro and them ending up together).

In this au, as Kaisei is getting dressed to leave, Yakumo breaks the tension and asks Kaisei to stay with him. Every time Kaisei has come to him and cried about anyone, he's felt horrible, but never had the right words.

"I still don't know what to say, but I don't want you to go."

And so, Kaisei does stay. It's the first time anyone, let alone Yakumo, has ever asked him to. He's surprised, byt that shock kind of breaks him out of being so upset. I think some time that night Yakumo does end up spillibg his own feelings, and Kaisei, who has liked this guy since high school and has just resolved himself to never trying to find anyone to be happy with again, just accepts Yakumo's feelings.

The thing is, I know Yakumo will be happier, and Kaisei is happy with him, but it's just hard to think about because I know he would be happier with Ciro based on what he craves in a partner.

Yakumo is not going to be a really affectionate, open, and for lack of a better word, fun partner. That's just not who he is.

Sure, he might change a little, but it's not much.

And then thinking about Ciro, learning that Kaisei has a boyfriend now, is absolutely miserable.

The poor guy who's never opened himself up to loving someone that way, never even gets the chance to act on those feelings. He knows Kaisei isn't a cheater, and he wouldn't try to break people up anyway.

Yoai is absolutely pissed. She wants to drop Kaisei as a model because of how much Ciro is hurt by this. But Ciro is the one to say, even though he hates to, dropping Kaisei for a personal reason that he technically had no repsonsibility in causing, would be a bad idea.

So they still work together, but oh my god the pain in my chest imagining how Ciro must feel seeing him and still working with him despite those bottled up feelings is so bad.

Like I cannot, I'm sorry - I can't separate Ciro and Kaisei. They are like peanut butter and jelly, the moon and the stars, they just go together.

Sorry Yakumo, looks like you'll just have to move and find aomeone else, I can't fo this au 😔

Divine Intervention

Chapter 1

Trigger Warning:

This story contains many heavy topics such as neglect, abuse, imprisonment, suicidal ideations and actions, and many other terrible topics. If any of these disturb you, don’t read this story.

Raven woke up again, she had no memory of what had happened a few hours earlier. The alarm clock read 8:23 AM. All she could feel was her stomach rumbling, she needed food.

Raven slowly climbed out of bed, she was now away from her comfort space. She walked through the door and into the hallway. As she moped across the floor, she saw her mom. Her mother was still laying on the weathered couch, watching whatever was on the television. Raven continued to the kitchen.

Once again, a tight fit, but she could make it into the pantry. She opened the door to find a loaf of slightly moldy bread, two boxes containing stale cereal, and a few cockroaches scattering through some tomato soup cans.

This sight would have disgusted Raven a few months ago, but she couldn’t care anymore. She just wanted food, so she reached for the cereal. She believed the cereal to be the least putrid option.

The bowl she ate out of was a deep ocean blue, it was made of a very sturdy plastic, with only a few scratches being visible. The cereal was dry, Raven preffered her cereal dry. Even if she wanted milk, she didn’t have the money to get it. The cereal was crunchy, and some pieces were extremely difficult to chew, it was like chewing on a rock. Raven finally found her bowl empty, with only a few crumbs remaining. She added the bowl to the pile of dishes accumulating in the sink. She would clean them later…

Raven walked out to the living room. She tried greeting her mom. but there was no reply. She tried to ask about her day, but there was no reply. She tried to ask what she was watching, but there was no reply.

Raven finally gave up and went back into her room. She was finally back to her comfort space. Raven kept a small journal hidden under her pillow, she had it for quite a while now. Her father gave it to her as a gift about a year ago. Raven wrote about her life in that journal. Sometimes, Raven liked to sit in her bed, and read all of the stories contained on the many pages.

Raven would usually skip all of the pages toward the beginning of the journal because they all mentioned her father. Raven misses her father, sometimes she wonders how he’s doing. He was taken away from her. It devestated both Raven and her mom. Her father would be back soon though, but not soon enough.

Raven reached the final page in her journal, it was the page she wrote yesterday. The page looked like this:

September 17, 2023

Mom is unresponsive again, as always. I’ve been trying to talk to her, but nothing works. I try to ask her about her day, I try to ask her about the shows she watches, but nothing. Sometimes she just glances at me, no words, just a look. I feel so alone, I wish dad were here, and I wish I could go to school. I don’t know what to do, I just wish that something would happen to give me some hope.

Raven had crossed out the mention of her dad, she would write about him a lot, but she would always cross him out before she could go any deeper. She didn’t want to think about him for too long, thinking about him for too long would result in an ocean of tears.

She wrote a new entry into her journal, this one was a little more hopeful the the previous few. This is what Raven wrote:

September 18, 2023

The past few pages in this journal have been… very negative… but I think if I try hard enough to be positive, then eventually good things should come along! I’ll try talking to mom more, I’ll finally wash the dishes, I’ll try to go to school, and I’ll try to stop being so sad all the time!

Raven felt very motivated now, after reading all of the previous entries, she wanted to change. She made a list of all of her goals:

Try talking to mom more

Wash the dishes

Go to school

Stop being so sad

Raven was so sure she could complete these goals, she wanted to get started immediately! She ran out to the kitchen, her mother was still laying on the couch. Raven squeezed into the kitchen, and took a look at the dishes.

The pile made her a little uneasy, but she knew she could do it! She took the plastic, blue bowl in her hand, turned the faucet, and… nothing. Right… there was no water. There hadn’t been water for a couple months now. Raven was defeated, she was so excited to get started on completing these tasks, and she failed at what she thought was the easiest one.

Raven moped back to her room. She felt so stupid. How did she forget about the water? How could she forget about the water? How DARE she forget about the water! Raven laid in bed, staring at the list. The list taunted her for a while. Suddenly, an idea rushed into Raven’s head.

She took a page out of her journal, and her pencil, and began to sketch. Lines formed shapes on the page, shading brought the image to life. After many long hours, she was done. The image depicted a large vase carrying many lovely flowers. The words “I love my mom,” were written on the vase. Raven felt the drawing was too childish, but it was the best she could think of.

Raven slowly walked down the hall. Her mother was still lying on the couch. She gave a quiet hello to her mother before presenting the image to her. Raven’s mom slowly reached out and gently grabbed the page. She inspected the sketch carefully. Raven could feel the silence, the judgement. Two small words quietly floated into Raven’s ears.

“thank you”

The words brought a slight warmth into Raven’s heart. She said goodbye to her mother and walked back to her room. Those two words bounced around Raven’s head for the rest of the night. It was the first time her mom had said anything to her in a long time.

Raven looked at her alarm clock, 9:57 PM. So much of the day had been spent drawing, and thinking about two little words. Raven thought that was enough for one day. Raven put her pajamas on, but this time, she walked back out to the hallway. Raven didn’t want to push her mother too hard, but she wanted to say something to her.

“Goodnight… I love you”.

It was silent, Raven stared at the back of her mom’s head. Raven was preparing to walk back to her room, when a few words tickled her ears.

“I love you too…”

Raven smiled as she walked back into her room. She felt happy, after all this time, she finally felt joy. Raven laid in a blanket of darkness, the dark wasn’t quite as cold as it was before.

While Raven and her mother slept, the night grew darker and colder. A freezing chill floated outside. A few light crunching of leaves could be heard. The footsteps grew closer, a dark figure was approaching the house. Boots clacked on the concrete steps of the porch, The doorknob on the front door jiggled slightly, and with a quiet twist, the door opened. There is now another person in the house.

The dark, black boots clacked and clicked against the floorboards. A slow thumping sound, with the occasional creak echoed through the sorrowful walls. After a few minutes of rummaging around and placing items in a large bag, the figure left. The once empty house was now even emptier, the once broken dreams were now completely shattered.

It was the birds that woke Raven up. Weird… her alarm clock didn’t go off… what time was it anyway? She looked to her bedside table, but there was nothing there, no alarm clock, not even the table was there. What? Where was it? Raven got up out of bed, she looked around her room. Odd… most of the stuff in her room was gone. There were a few items on the floor, she didn’t remember putting any of them there though. Had her mom gone through her room? She opened her bedroom door and peeked down the hallway, all she could see from there was the kitchen, and a slight view of the living room. The kitchen appeared messier than usual, and what she could see in the living room didn’t look quite right. She approached closer to the living room.

When Raven reached the living room, she was shocked. Everything in there was missing, the old vase, the old television, even the small rug was gone! A few photos sat scattered across the floor, and a few frames were smashed. The only other piece of furniture that was still in the living room was the worn down, scratched up couch that her mother was lying in.

Raven was sent into a panicked frenzy. Where had everything gone? What was she going to do? Raven screamed for her mother, crying out to her in cold, chilling fear. Her mother’s eyes creeped open. no words were said as she sat up from the couch, and took a look around the empty room.

“Where’s our stuff?”

The words drifted out of her mouth like tumbleweeds in a desert. Raven gave a panicked reply.

“MOM! WE’VE BEEN ROBBED!”

Raven’s voice echoed through the whole house. The room fell silent, the cars outside rushed past the house and through the suburban neighborhood. A single dry leaf danced across the sky before silently falling to it’s death. All of this happened, but not for Raven or her mother, the world didn’t move for them.

This was the first time in three months that Raven saw her mom stand up off the couch. A horrible stench was wafted into the air, but Raven didn’t notice it. Raven’s mother told her to stay in the house. Raven watched her mom walk out the door.

Where was her mother going? Why did she tell Raven to stay at the house? These questions circled Raven’s brain. It was at this moment when Raven looked down at the couch. The couch was sagging where her mother once laid. Raven didn’t know what to do, she pondered if she should try to follow her mother or obey and stay where she was. Raven decided to obey her mother, it was the least she could do for her after all that’s happened.

About half an hour goes by, Raven’s mom enters the home. A couple of officers march in behind her. The two officers look around the home suspiciously.

“Okay, we’re going to need to start an investigation” one of the officers stated.

“We’re going to need you two to leave the home for a little bit, okay?”

Raven’s mom walked toward the door, Raven followed her quietly. Raven’s mom sat on the grass, Raven couldn’t tell what was going through her mind. She sat beside her mother, watching as cars zoomed past the house, they could feel the eyes judging them. They both looked on at the shining sun. Everything was gone, that theif took more than just material objects, they took their joy, their happiness, their souls.

Raven watched as her mom’s face went from a blank, seemingly lifeless expression, to a slight frown with a few stray tears leaving her eyes. Raven’s mom held her face in her hands, the tears came pouring out. Raven didn’t know what to do, she’d lost everything, she lost her mother’s happiness.

They sat in the grass for what seemed like an eternity. Occasionally, they would see one of the officers step out of the house to take a look around outside. At some point, one of the officers stood beside both Raven and her mother, the officer asked a few questions.

“Do you remember anything at night, anything suspicious?”

“No, it was just a regular night, we didn’t see anything and we didn’t hear anything.”

“Do you know exactly what items were stolen?”

“Yes, the crook took the television, an old vase, and my daughter’s alarm clock and her table.”

“Could you describe those items for me?”

“The TV is very old and boxy, sort of a 1970s to 1980s style, the vase is plain white with a few light pink flower designs on it, my daughters alarm clock is a brown, retro analog clock that rings like a bell to wake you, and the table is wooden and circular in shape, with some wooden rods holding it up.”

“Okay, thank you, we’ll keep an eye out for any objects matching those descriptions.”

The other officer sauntered to their location. After the left officer stopped speaking, the right officer began.

“The criminal must have entered through the front door, I couldn’t find any other points of entry. We will keep the questions you answered as evidence. We will question the residents of this neighborhood to see if we can get more information. If you think of anything else, please be sure to contact us!”

Raven’s mother quietly replied,

“Thank you, officers.”

“You’re welcome ma’am, have a good day.”

The officers got in their car and drove away. Raven stood up next to her mother. Her mother just looked at her in pure disbelief and sadness. They both sat there on the front lawn watching the red and orange leaves dance across the sky.

The only thing floating in Raven’s head was a feeling of uselessness. Raven felt more useless than ever before. She couldn’t speak, she didn’t even want to look at her mother. Many tears were shed on that lawn.

A few minutes passed by, Raven’s mom stood up and walked back into the house. Raven stayed seated on the grass, the remnants of tears sparkled on her cheeks. What was she going to do? It seems the more she tries, the more she fails.

Raven finally got up from her sad spot. She turned away from the road, and began to approach the house. Raven felt terrible, a horrible feeling went from her throat to her stomach. She was tired, even though the sun was still high in the sky. Once Raven walked through that door, she saw her mom on the couch. She was laying there looking more miserable than she was before. This sight sparked something horrible in Raven.

Raven’s mom wasn’t happy, and all of her belongings were taken, but, maybe something else lingered in the house. Raven walked into the hallway, toward the door on the far end, it was her mother’s room. She opened the door, and saw an array of items scattered across the floor. She carefully stepped through the shattered picture frames, the torn pages, and an image of her father. Looking at the image of her father made a few tears well up in her eyes, but she didn’t have time to cry. She crouched down near her mom’s bed, she could smell the dust and negligence. After shuffling around under the bed, she found it. It was a small briefcase made of very clearly fake leather. It wasn’t the briefcase that Raven was after, it was what was inside. The briefcase contained a dangerous item, something that could prove disastrous if put in the wrong hands. The item she was after was her mom’s revolver.

Raven had searched for this item previously, but everytime she went anywhere near the briefcase, she would stop herself, but not this time. Raven creeped into her room with the briefcase in her hand. The texture was rough, and felt very worn out. Raven put the briefcase on her bed. She stood there, breathing heavily. She took her journal from out under her pillow, she flipped through the many pages. She found a blank page and began to write one last entry.

September 19, 2023

Goodbye mom, if you’re reading this, I’m probably already gone. Don’t blame this on yourself, you should continue living your life. Maybe you could get a job, make some money, and fix this house. I wish I could help you with all of this, but I’m too useless. I feel like I can’t do anything right. I love you, and I hope you can figure all of this stuff out.

Raven’s own writing made even more tears leave her eyes. She placed the journal on the floor, and took a look at the briefcase. She slowly opened the zipper, and took a peak inside. There was a small case, probably containing bullets, and the revolver. The metal reflected the small amount of sun that was peaking through the blinds. Raven grabbed the case of bullets first, she opened it up and saw only a few rimmed cartridges inside. Her mother was probably saving these bullets for something important. Raven looked back at the revolver, has it really come down to this? She took the revolver in her hand, slightly rubbing the smooth metallic surface.

Raven loaded the gun, she had learned how to do this from her mother in case of an emergency a few years back. She opened the cylinder with a click, and found the revolver empty. She took a few rimmed cartridges, tilted the gun down slightly, and slid the cartridges into the cylinder. With one final click, the cylinder was closed, the gun was now fully loaded, fully dangerous.

Raven’s head flooded with a few last thoughts as she raised the gun up.

“This is it, huh? I couldn’t even make my own mom happy. I am useless, I’m a disgrace and a disappointment. I deserve this.”

The gun was getting higher, higher, and finally, Raven rested the tip of the revolver on her cranium. The gun was cold, the air was cold, everything was freezing. Raven’s finger toyed with the trigger for a moment, her grasp slowly getting firmer and firmer. She was hesitant, her head was beginning to flood with doubts.

“I can’t do this. I might make my mom’s life worse. What if my mom can’t handle my death. What will happen when my dad comes back? He’ll find his daughter dead.”

Raven’s eyes finally released the tears, a few droplets of sweat began to form on her forehead. She couldn’t do it, she didn’t want to do it. She was lowering the gun from her head, but then her eye caught something. Something was shining outside her window, something blue, her eyes were too blurry to make out exactly what it was. The light seemed to be getting closer. Raven held the revolver in one hand, and quickly wiped away her tears in the other. When Raven finally opened her eyes, the light seemed to be dimming. Was it just in her imagination? She turned away from the window, and that’s when she saw him, standing in the doorway, illuminated by a faint, waning, blue light.

Boo i am back with more chaos and rant

I have yet again started craving mods to my game, this time suprisingly not about sims (not in that i don't use sims mods i need those to survive plz, could never go without, ew, that game will always be modded and probably unplayable cuz i'll never actually fix my game, anyways-)

Somehow when i get Really into a game, i want mods... like? I can't explain it, not even that i've gotten far into the game itself, just, very into it, very focused on it (like casually losing 8 hours and more of my mind, because of it kind of focused)

Point is im kinda obsessed with Cyberpunk (2077, the game), and, i need mods? I mean at this point it seems like it can kinda be okay? (Famous last words-) Cuz the game is.. somewhat older?? Idk how old, no i will not check, yes im lazy, no i do not care-

But i also thought that about bg3, definately not that old, and only misery remains as a result

POINT IS, i swear this time i will stay on it (maybe), im a simple gal/they/person who likes women probably, and i was devestated to find out i could not date Panam as a woman, the fuckin travesty, will never recover from this betrayal from CDPR, and the only way to remedy this is through mods,,,, also, quickhacks? It becomes pretty annoying and repetitive pretty quick, why we gotta do the whole thing fully everytime its too much- D:

(Also don't get me wrong, Judy is lovely and so adorable but like, sometimes u want someone who's different with more Something like Panam okay, i can't explain it i love both of them, like the 2nd of many crimes of this game is that polyamory is not a thing in THE Sex City Central (i know polayamory isn't necessarily and probably rarely bout only sex, but i mean, the full package would be even greater))

(If ur wondering the 1st and most offensive crime of this game would be the few character costumization options, expesically when it comes to body forms, size, voice, and most importantly, in a place like Night City, why isn't being non-binary an option?? DD: You don't necessarily even need a different voice, but like pronous?? Bro that would be SUBLIME dude Can only dream i guess D:)

Yes that would be the rant of today, not just sims whaaat

The delusion strikes yet again, thinking anyone will actually read this, but whatever 👾👾👾

Bye bitches

[hearthandheathenry]

Hello i see that you are doing some readings... i really need help i just i don't know what to do from now on i'm so lost i need a sign something anything! what to do

please i need help i'm desperate thank you so much even if you can help thank you

Hey there! I am so sorry you're going through such a tough time. I think everyone reaches a period in their life where they just feel...lost. you are definitely not alone in that, and I promise you its temporary! I've been through it myself and I have absolutely turned my life around and am living my dreams! Its possible!

The card that immediately jumped out of my deck was Death, which is a very powerful card and one of my favorites for new beginnings. (It's not bad!)

Literal meaning: The card of Death shows a skeleton in armor riding a white horse over the corpse of a king. This suggests that the old order has ended and a new era is about to begin. At this stage, the Fool must accept approaching endings and uncertainty about the future. The endings may be difficult and painful, but we must learn to accept them as change is inevitable. As we come to terms with loss, we are transformed.

It also represents endings, loss, mourning, acceptance, adjustment, change, transition, rebirth, and renewal.

Personal interpretation: I loveeee this card so much, and it makes me so excited for you! You are obviously in a tough spot, but this is rock bottom, which means this is the end of your struggles and it is telling you that you must accept what has happened, be okay with letting go and accepting change, and if you can, then you will be sprung forward into the next chapter of your life! This card always comes up in my readings for intense new beginnings where people are unsure and lost and a drastic change is coming. This is the start to a beautiful new beginning, even if you can't see it yet! It is a big growing moment on our life's journey. If you can pick yourself back up, accept what life has thrown your way, and keep your feet moving, you will be rewarded with a lesson learned and a new future. This will be a time of rebirth and renewal for you, and I'm so excited to see how this turns out for you. The results may not be immediate, but trust that everything happens the way it should, no matter how devestating, and that there may be higher knowledge at play. What didn't work out was not meant for you. There will be better things in the future. Hold onto your hope, rest while you're able, then keep moving!

Also, if you ever need anyone to talk to, please don't hesitate to reach out to me, I will always be here to listen! 💕

Eeee... Maybe not tell OoT about how he does return... He returns as WW in the Adult Timeline & as TP in the Child Timeline. He fails to succeed then, either.

Or that even in the timeline where he does succeed, he becomes a blue bipedal boar monster, killed & his essence sealed away.

Then, he's resurrected, like, 6 times (7, if you count Zelda III Curse of Ganon, though I know nothing about it) in the Downfall Timeline & with each subsequent resurrection, he progressively loses more of his persondom until, in Zelda II, he's reduced to little more than a bipedal suilline shadow no longer even capable of speech. Reduced to a feral, rabid animal lashing out at anything & everything around him...

I... would not wish his fate on even my worst, most hated enemy. And, it's not anything put on him by others, either. It's pretty apparent that death doesn't actually have as little of an effect upon him as he might like to think. Because, every time he's brought back, he seems to lose something vital of himself.

And by refusing to change or improve or let go of his hatred, that eventually becomes all he is.

It's REALLY freaking sad if you think about it.

And, TotK didn't even just die. He gave up his personhood in a desperate attempt to succeed, thereby proving that he isn't even a true Social Darwinist of the Struggler archetype. Because, if he were, then he'd have accepted his defeat with the grace expected of a king.

Though, his decision to devest himself of his persondom in a desperate attempt to win might, in a way, be like a twisted reflection of the Bushidō code's Yasushi Shi Fukutsu precept. Meaning, "better die than compromise." Which is the reason for the Seppuku or ritualistic suicide via disembowelment by a sword or knife that was expected of a warrior who had faced disgrace, failure, or dishonor.

However, considering the other precepts of the Bushidō code, I find it difficult to believe that what it eventually became was what it originally meant.

Because, over time, it became twisted into a sort of thinking that gave rise to a belief that those who surrendered were little more than animals. Though, I would argue that they saw them as even less than that, as the types of atrocities that a specific Japanese unit has been documented to have committed against those who were defeated was... Let's just say that even the Nazis viewed it as cruel & leave it at that...

Regardless, it's possible that if a Struggler archetype were to become infected with a twisted version of Yasushi Shi Fukutsu, then it might result in the sort of situation where TotK gave up his humanity & sense of self for the vague possibility of a victory that he wouldn't even get to enjoy.

Regardless, the only true victory for him would've only come before the moment he swallowed the Secret Stone, because the moment he did, it was his swan song.

... Basically, Ganondorf's victories... well, it always appears to be Pyhhric in nature. That being that, yes, he succeeds, but at a cost too high to have been a worthwhile venture. It leaves no possibility for growth or betterment or progress. Neither for him nor his new kingdom. Little more than a downward spiral as he loses more of who he was as a person to his own ambition.

Meaning that... honestly, there is no real victory, no honor, no dignity, no glory, no point, to be had in it.

The one that I'd say who did was actually Manga TP, as at least upon learning that he, himself, was little more than a pawn or puppet in the cycle, he at least had the self-respect to off himself so that he could no longer be used as a tool.

Though, it was more in a "if I'm gonna destroy Hyrule, it'll be MY CHOICE!!" Which, you know what? I can respect that sort of self-determination. And even in his in-game death, he still did so with a degree of self-respect by facing head-on rather than struggling like a fish on a hook & dude even died with his head high & on his feat. So, even if I characterize TP as... in a lot of ways, exemplifying some of the worst traits of Ganondorf, as an entity, I can at least give him that.

But that... That's the best it gets.

How would the Ganondorfs (Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Hyrule Warriors, and Tears of the Kingdom) & Demise react to seeing their death scene in game? Like they are shown a TV, playing out their Deaths?

Here’s how each Ganondorf and Demise might react to witnessing their own death scenes from the games:

Ganondorf (Wind Waker)

Reaction: Wind Waker Ganondorf, known for his reflective and somewhat tragic nature, would likely watch his death scene with a mix of sadness and acceptance. Seeing himself defeated by the Hero of Winds, he might feel a sense of inevitability and a deep melancholy over his failure to reclaim Hyrule.

Small Scene: Ganondorf stands before the TV, watching the final moments of his life play out. As he sees the Master Sword plunge into his skull, he remains silent, his expression unreadable. The waves crash around his stone form, and he can almost feel the weight of the ocean pulling him down.

He lets out a slow, resigned sigh. “So, this is how it ends…” he murmurs, his voice carrying a hint of sorrow. “All my efforts… reduced to nothing.” He turns away from the screen, a faint smile of acceptance on his lips. “But perhaps, in another time, I will find peace.”

Ganondorf (Ocarina of Time)

Reaction: Ocarina of Time Ganondorf, with his pride and ambition, would likely react with anger and frustration upon seeing his defeat. The scene of his transformation into Ganon and subsequent sealing away would provoke a fierce response, as he loathes the idea of being bested by the Hero of Time.

Small Scene: Ganondorf watches as his monstrous form is defeated and sealed away in the Sacred Realm. His fists clench, and his eyes burn with fury. “Sealed away… like a common beast!” he snarls, his voice filled with venom.

He glares at the screen, the image of the Sacred Realm’s door closing in his face. “This is not the end! I will return, and when I do, no hero, no goddess, will stand in my way!” His voice echoes with determination, a vow to break free from his eternal prison.

Ganondorf (Twilight Princess)

Reaction: Twilight Princess Ganondorf, who is more composed and calculating, would watch his death with a mix of disbelief and anger. Seeing himself impaled by the Master Sword and dying on his feet, he would be filled with a burning desire for revenge, though a part of him might grudgingly respect the hero’s strength.

Small Scene: Ganondorf’s eyes narrow as he watches the Hero of Twilight plunge the Master Sword into his chest. The light fades from his eyes as he stands tall, refusing to kneel even in death. “So… this is how it ends…” he mutters, his voice cold and filled with anger.

He watches his own death with a clenched jaw, his gaze fixated on the screen. “But know this,” he says softly, his voice dripping with malice, “I will return, and when I do, I will crush anyone who dares to stand in my way.”

Ganondorf (Hyrule Warriors)

Reaction: Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf, known for his sheer power and aggressive nature, would likely watch his death with a mixture of outrage and disbelief. His pride would be deeply wounded, and he would be filled with an intense desire to exact revenge on those who brought him down.

Small Scene: Ganondorf watches as his defeat plays out on the screen, his eyes narrowing in anger. He sees himself overwhelmed by the combined forces of the heroes, and a low growl escapes his throat. “This… this is unacceptable!” he roars, his fists slamming into the armrests of his throne.

He rises from his seat, his body trembling with rage. “I am the King of Evil! I will not be defeated so easily!” He turns away from the screen, a dark aura surrounding him. “Let them enjoy their victory… for now. They will soon learn that I am not so easily destroyed.”

Ganondorf (Tears of the Kingdom)

Reaction: Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf, with his more layered and introspective personality, would likely watch his death with a deep, simmering rage but also a sense of understanding. He might see it as a tragic end to his ambitions but also recognize the hero’s strength in overcoming him.

Small Scene: Ganondorf watches as the final battle unfolds, his heart sinking as he sees himself fall to the Hero of the Wilds. The darkness around him fades, and he sees the light return to Hyrule. His expression hardens, a deep scowl forming on his face.

“So, this is the end of my reign…” he mutters, his voice low and filled with bitterness. He turns away from the screen, a dark determination in his eyes. “But mark my words… I will rise again, stronger than before. And this time, I will not be defeated.”

Demise (Skyward Sword)

Reaction: Demise, the embodiment of hatred and malice, would watch his death with cold detachment and a sense of inevitability. He might acknowledge the hero’s strength but would be more focused on the curse he places upon Link and Zelda, ensuring that his malice would persist through the ages.

Small Scene: Demise watches his final battle, seeing the Hero of the Sky deliver the finishing blow. His expression remains cold and unfeeling as his form is swallowed by darkness. “So… the hero wins this time,” he says, his voice devoid of emotion.

But as he sees himself place the curse upon the hero and his descendants, a cruel smile forms on his lips. “But my hatred will never die… it will be reborn again and again, until the end of time.” He turns away from the screen, satisfied with the knowledge that his legacy of hatred will endure.

Had a thought about Gai and Dai in GOS, was curious on your thoughts on it (I made myself cry again). Sorry for the fanfiction length.

But, what if for a while, Gai wasn't sure if he wanted to go back for reincarnation after his second life. Like no offense to Obito but... THAT LIFE WAS AWEFUL. It had some amazing highs. But the lows were so deep it was a miracle he clawed out of them. He lost his humanity. His family hated him. He had to fight Fucking uh..... That guy!!!

(Madara: I swear to me if you forget one more time-)

It was terrifying. And depressing! He never got to be with the man he loved in a way he wanted because he was a fucking dragon!!! He couldn't even bring himself to confess! Was not a fun time!!! He's almost happy to be dead because at least now he can see his hands again. His human hands...he hadn't seen them in centuries.

And Obito feels a little bad but he also struck a deal with Hashirama that Gai's next life would be amazing! Absolutely stunning. If Gai wants to move on to the next part of death, of course, he wouldn't stop him but... that would devestate his brother... so before Gai made a final choices, he asked him to see one person who wanted to see him first.

And Gai of course thinks it will be Kakashi but...its Dai. Its his original papa...

And of course the two break down seeing each other and holding each other in the classic Maito hug (can't not have it happen.) And after catching up and informing Dai about his new life, Dai listens and takes it all in stride...but very much wishes to meet Gai's so-called "father" and get him very aquainted, with his fists!!!

But after they get reaquainted and calm down, Obito tells him the plan. That when the time is right, he'd like to not only send Gai back...but send them back together, as father and son again. In a world less unforgiving (their tribe originally predated farming before the godly intervention. It was VERY hard life), full of "modern" comforts. In a time of peace. They both might need to wait a while, and he might need to practice this whole reincarnation thing because well...he's new at it and its a little hard. But he could give them an amazing shared life together if they trust them.

And they do.

Which results in King Dai, and Prince Gai. And true to his word it was an amazing life. For both of them. To the point that every time Gai would die and meet Obito again he really was all "When can I go back again?!" All enthusiastically!

But after Dai meets Gai again after the third life ends and upon hearing his story, it turns out...Dai won't be coming back again. Not ever. This was his last life.

Not because he didn't love both lives. He's not giving up on his youth...but he knows the next life has no guarantee that Gai would be his son again. Or a life after that, and he is happy just to have had the opportunity to raise Gai not only once, but twice. To hold his sweet baby son once again and then see him grow into a noble man which he might not have been able to see in his first life... all that was more than he ever wanted. He is at peace, completely fulfilled and ready to move on to the next part.

But he insists Gai should stay. Gai should be reborn as many times as he likes, forever if possible, because Dai can see the world is a better place when his son is in it. And he wants Gai to know that no matter how bad things get, or how hard they are, how old or young Gai ends up becoming, even if he becomes a dragon again or a tiny worm in the future... that Dai is always will watch over him in his own way.

No matter how the world shapes Gai's life, and who or what he becomes... Dai will always love him, and his eternally youthful spirit.

There's probably more Maito crying (because THEY NEED TO FEEL) I could even see Gai's spirit becoming a child for a bit as his papa hugs him, but they both accept each other's choice.

I'm not sure what becomes of the dead when they move on in this world. Or if Dai could have become something akin to Kakashi's lightning after his human die and their spirits mingle with his power forever (as Gai and Dai are both mortals). But I like to imagine some part of Dai is always with Gai in his heart/ spirit from there on out. No matter the lifetime or what happens, the voice of Dai cheers his heart on, and Gai keeps the spirit of youth alive with his papa in that way. Even if he can't remeber him in life, he feels his warmth in some way, always. And he gets to remwmber his papa and his kind words every time he dies.

Also Hashirama is watching ALL of this to the side with Obito (both times). He's outwardly bawling and Obito is subtly crying- ("NO I'M NOT! I HAVE SOMETHING IN HIS EYES, OKAY?! ITS DUSTY IN THE UNDERWORLD!!!"), and both go see their dads afterwards for....reasons!!!

(Hogoromo: Its been almost been a million years. Why are you visiting me?

Hashirama: Because you're my dad... 🥲

Obito: *tea day with Sakumo.*)

Just... I'm sorry. I love Dai and Gai so much. Sorry if none of that is true/ even slightly what you invisioned. I just like the idea of them having their own little story in this grand universe.

Ohhh all of this is beautiful and i really love the moment when the two choose their paths going forward, knowing full well they may never interact again but also getting the opportunity to tell each other how much they love each other.

It’s Definitly an emotional time for everyone who’s there to witness it

I wouldn’t have Dai mingling with Kakashi’s lightning, but death in this world is very… interesting. There are spirits (like Hiroki’s daughter who hangs with Nakano) and the actual domains for dead people, but i think Dai would be one of the special few

A star that Obito places in the sky so he can watch over the world, and Gai, at all times. Dai has always wondered how things would progress and he gets to see it for himself for all of eternity. He even gets to watch as Kakashi turns into a mortal and finds Gai all over again, just to fall in love with him again.

And every-time Gai dies he gets to remember not just his parents love from that last lifetime, but all his parents love. Especially the love he gets to remember that Dai had for him.

But also, as a star Dai gets to have visitors and you bet your butt Kakashi’s going up there once in a while to make sure he’s doing ok. Gai even gets to start visiting his papa in the sky once he becomes a god 🥰🥰🥰

The Underdeveloped Elain Argument

"Elain is so underdeveloped. Gwyn has had more going on in one book than Elain has had in the entire series".

What are people seeing that I'm not? Elain started out as a reserved middle child, was hesitant to get involved in anything unpleasant as she tried desperately to focus on only the positive during her time in poverty after the death of her mother (who it seems ignored her in favor of Nesta) and the attack on her father (who she was closest too).

By the end of the first book, she proves to Feyre that her attempts at remaining optimistic even through difficult times is a STRENGTH that even Feyre does not possess.

In the second book, Elain stands up against Nesta, risks her own engagement to help Feyre, and apologizes for her mistakes during their time in the cottage. She then has her entire life ripped out from under her when she is kidnapped, loses the one she was in love with, and has her body violated. First with being turned Fae then being left exposed on the ground while guards around her stared and sniggered.

In the third book, she sinks into a depression and has to claw her way out of the emotional despair she's sunk into (which for someone optimistic like Elain is devestating). She finally begins to come out of that darkness only to be rejected by Graysen, saves Briar, Cassian, and Nesta's lives, has to stab someone (which again, for a character who struggles with the thought of war and suffering is a big deal), and has her father murdered. After the war, she doesn't completely sink back into herself which shows she is growing. She suffers the traumatic loss of her father and having taken a weapon to someone and continues on a path of healing where she interacts with the others and doesn't close herself off.

In the fourth book, she continues her bravery when she heads to the Hewn City with the others though Feyre suggested she stay in Velaris and Elain offers to search for the Trove though literally EVERYONE around her aside from Amren believes she shouldn't be allowed. That she's too delicate. This girl literally has 1 person who believes in her.

I'm not anti Gwyn though I'm not smitten by her. I like her so far but am not desperate for her as the main character at this point. But I am confused how her character is lauded as having done so much more than Elain. Not to mention Gwyn is one of Nesta's best friends. She's supposed to have more page time in Nesta's book. Elain has never been someone's "person" in the series so far, she's the overlooked sister who no one truly "sees". As soon as Gwyn is introduced, she's already encouraged and believed in by Nesta and then Cassian and Azriel. When has Elain ever been shown that support? The people around us, who believe in us, help us grow. Elains growth has never been a result of the encouragement of others but growth that she has had to find within herself.

We also don't see Gwyn have any real conflict with anyone close to her. She's there to support Nesta's growth and healing and is written in a way so that her personality only contributes to that and doesn't cause more discourse in Nesta's life. Sisters love each other but they still disagree and fight, they sometimes bring out the worst in one another. It's horrible that Gwyn lost hers however if we had seen the two of them interact I'm sure their relationship wasn't perfect 100% of the time and Gwyn may occasionally have said or done something questionable. To me, I don't really find it fair when comparing the two, to dislike Elain because of her relationship with her sisters while claiming Gwyn is better in some way. We have no idea who Gwyn was as a sister or even who she is when arguing with someone close to her. She loved hers, of course. But Feyre, Nesta, and Elain also love one another. Like I said though, loving someone doesn't mean you're perfect all the time with your interactions. The person you are with a friend can be much different than who you are around siblings.

Gwyn lost important family = Elain lost important family.

Gwyn is a SA survivor = Elain is a survivor of an assault on her body.

Gwyn needed time after those events to heal and has spent the last two years in the library = Elain spent time after her traumas to internalize and heal

Gwyn took a small step and decided to train, not to necessarily become a warrior but so she would not be weak again, doesn't take Nesta's attitude = Elain comes out of her catatonic state and begins interacting with the world again, comes up with a plan to help the humans and saves Briar during the war.

Gwyn = kidnapped and forced into the Rite where she has to fight her way out = Elain is kidnapped by the Cauldron a second time then saves Briar, Nesta and Cassian and stabs the King.

Gwyn returns to the safety of the library as she's not fully ready to step into the world = Elain returns to the hobby that makes her feel at peace but demonstrates she's starting to stand up for herself more often and willingly volunteers to put herself in a possibly dangerous situation with the Trove.

Also, can we please stop making fun of Elain for the fact that she enjoys gardening (which is actually considered exercise in the real world) yet think Gwyn is adorable for making friendship bracelets?

So again, where is this development that Gwyn has had that Elain also has not? I'm not even saying Gwyn should do more. She deserves to take all the time she needs. I truly have no expectations or timelines for her recovery but I'm curious why Elain is not afforded the same courtesy because regardless of what an anti Elain believes, Elain is NOT fully recovered at this point and is not fully who she's meant to be (which can also be said for Gwyn). She's just trying her best to pretend she is while continuing to take small steps forward.

ARCANE OC IDEA: Helena from Noxus (update)

General Information:

She is an escape-y who fled Noxus to escape her notoriously sadistic and high ranking parents by faking her own death and escaping to Zaun. She knew Mel when she was growing up, but Mel was terrified of her, on the count of her parents turning Helena into a killing machine from a very early age. (The bottom picture is Mel’s point of view and how she remembers Helena). The scar was given to her by her mother, after failing to execute someone who fled the household when she was 13.

Now Helena is older and trying to live a comfortable life, stealing and looting whatever she finds. This is how she meets Jinx, whom she rescues after getting knocked out (picture two is how Jinx sees her before she passes out) . She is immediately drawn to her, as she reminds her of both Silco and Young Vi. Helena has Silco’s cunning manipulative edge and dotes on her like a parent, but Vi’s warmth and caring hand with Jinx. Both spend their days tinkering bombs, pulling pranks, and laughing. Its thanks to Helena that Jinx manages to find ways to manipulate and control force of impact from her bombs. On top of that Helena is the person she comes to crying about Vi, Silco, and the explosion that killed her family. She helps Jinx work through a lot of trauma, even joking about “cutting those guys some slack every once in a while” (in reference to Ekko, Vi and even Caitlynn)

Despite appearing “sane” especially in contrast to Jinx, Helena is actually troubled by things such as paranoia, nightmares, insomnia and severe panic attacks, as a result of her earlier years and the abuse she endured. They are most commonly set of by witnessing (large pools of blood, screaming kids etc.) (picture no.4)

Once Mel finds out that Helena is actually alive, word of this gets back to her mother, who makes it a personal mission, to capture Helena and bring her back to her parents, “by any means necesseary” in hopes of securing political support from her parents. While Helena evades capture, her and Mel actually become something sort of frenemies, getting along while bickering, and even saving each others asses numerous times. During their adventures, Ekko, Vi and Caitlynn have to work with them a couple of times, to achieve a similiar goal. (picture no.6)

…More to be added…

Love interests?

The Designated doctor who worked for her family had a son, Ernest, who was around her age. He and his father would be witness to the many MANY violent punishments her parents would dish out to Helena. When she “died”, both him and his father were devestated (even creating a special memorial statue for her). A few years later, Ernest is in Zaun working as a doctor and engineer in the undercity, when he catches Helena trying to rob his clinic for medical supplies. He is overcome with joy when he realises who his robber actually is. Helena appears happy as well to see him, but when they go out to “catch up” she tries to kill him, thinking that he is still working for her parents, and thats why he is in Zaun. Instead she takes him as “prisoner” but when she realises that he is actually not a spy, she offers him to stay with her and Jinx, under the guise of helping out with their missions. He obviously still has a crush on her, but for most of the story she does n’t see him in that way, until the very end.

How does her story end?

After a series of adventures, Helena does manage to defeat her crazy family, but their downfall causes mass problems back in Noxus. With this, both of her and Mel are tasked to go back, in hopes of fixing things and restoring peace, which is a task that would take several years. She does offer Jinx to go with her, however Jinx (still attached to Vi despite no longer being on best of terms) declines. This leads to a very tearful goodbye, as Helena goes on the ship to take her to Noxus. Before leaving she tells Jinx. “Contrary to what your name may imply, your presence in my life has brought me nothing but greatness and fortune, and I want you to know that.” This departure would be the first time Jinx has a proper goodbye with someone. (picture no.5)

Age: Older than Caitlynn but younger than Mel

Height: 6ft2

Characteristics: Cunning, Playful, Warm and protective of those she cares about, Skilled, Analytical and Observative, Manipulative, Foul Tempered, Prone to Mood Swings, Can become Sadistic when enraged passed a certain point.

Weapon: A giant axe that has the ability to extend the handle pole. This was her weapon from when she was even a still a kid being conditioned to become a killing machine by her family (thus getting the nickname “HeLLena the Executioner” for her most common method of execution, decapitation). She is also an exeptionally talented and agile fighter.

Sexuality: Asexual but romantic

Pronouns: She/her or they/them

Fun Facts:

-Helena’s family was inspired by the history of the Bathory Family (whose most famous member is the serial killer Elizabeth Bathory). This is in reference not only to their sadism, but also their status. So wealthy and influential that they are LITERALLY above the law. This is why Mel’s mother was so keen on bringing Helena back to them.

-The name Helena was in reference to “the face that launched a thousand ships”. Mel’s mother goes to great lenghts to try and find her, and it plays a huge part of the story.

-Her appearance was strategical. Earlier, it was mentioned that the reason Jinx gets attached so quickly is due to her reminding her of both Silco and Young Vi. This is seen in her big bold eyes and brows (Vi) contrary to the greasy brown hair and the scar on the face which is on the same side as Silco’s.

[the-starry-seas]

okay I've been convinced

Feyr name is Nightflash! Fey started out with he/his pronouns, switched to she/her, then found out about neopronouns. Feyr gender is best described in human terms as 'fluid', but fey don't connect to that term, so they don't use it. Fey went through several sets trying to find the best ones and settled on fey/feyr/feyrs/feyrself.

The engine and other internal parts are race car quality so fey can go very, very fast. (Traffic laws are... a bit more guidelines than actual laws.) Fey also have a ighted spoiler and rims, a sort of roll cage around feyr front seats, heavily tinted windows, and whitewall tires. The lights can switch between white, black, green, and RGB.

Why put green in there on its own? So it matches the paint job! Fey likes things to match and look sharp, and white and black don't stand out well against the tires.

Fey default to the green, and use the RGB lights as a colour code when on the road with feyr teammates. Yellow means fey's stopping, blue means turning left, purple means turning right, and red means taking damage.

In feyr robot form, the spoiler is across the back of feyr shoulders with the lights facing outwards. Two wheels are part of the bottom of feyr feet, like built-in rollerblades, and the other two are part of feyr knee joints with metal bars framing the outside like old-fashioned knee braces. Those bars, and the horizontal ones reinforcing feyr chest over where feyr Spark is, are from the roll cage! It would not work well as an actual roll cage, because it's designed to be easy to disassemble, but that's what it looks like, so that's what I'll call it.

Fey also has what the bots call 'radio-buzz', which is comparable to tinnitus in humans. It's a malfunction in feyr audio processors that sometimes results in a noise that sounds like radio static, which interferes with feyr hearing. Fey can still hear, but poorly. Sometimes this lasts for just a few seconds, and sometimes it lasts for a few days. The colour code started out of necessity, because fey talks less when fey can't hear well, but became a habit even when feyr hearing was fine. Not only to keep things consistent, but because fey likes the flashy colours!

With a wheeled robot form, good balance and agility are a must, and feyrs is absolutely exceptional. 'Gymnast' doesn't even begin to cover it. Fey's also very fast, half because fey's a good driver and feyr car form has high-quality parts, and half because fey insist that human traffic laws only apply to humans. AKA, fey drives like an absolute maniac with no regrets.

Fey's also very fastidious when it comes to feyr appearance. Fey keeps their lights matching and their whitewalls scuff-free, and goes through a car wash after every mission. Usually this is accompanied by feyr team leader telling feyr to get out already because a human will realise nobody's driving, but 1) fey only uses automatic washes 2) shut up, fey's having a spa day.

When the Autobots had to leave Cybertron, Nightflash was pretty young. Fey doesn't have as many memories of it as feyr comrades, and those fey does have, are overall much more positive. Between their relatively few memories, how they were sheltered from the worst of the war, and the regret and nostalgia fey remembers Cybertron with, their views are… rose-coloured, to say the least. Fey'd be devestated to find out that Cybertron wasn't half of what fey remember it as, but the one upside of it being unreachable is that fey'll never be able to know.

Due to feyr love for Cybertron, misplaced though it may be, nobody hates the Decepticons more. That makes feyr extremely vicious in battle, enough that the others worry on occasion, but they generally agree that it's better for feyr to be too aggressive than be killed.

Since fey's stuck on Earth with the other Autobots, fey's had to find something to entertain feyrself. Part of it is feyr job as a team scout, since fey's one of the fastest bots on the team. Another part, which fey very much keeps secret from the grumpy guy in charge, is street racing! Plenty of rumours about the unbeatable driver who never sticks around for their reward!

But even though fey loves racing, the thing fey likes most about Earth is the ocean. Whenever fey can find a strip of beach that doesn't have anyone on it, fey's going right into the water. Absolutely cannot resist and also isn't trying to at all. (Though fey's very careful to always get washed off after so there's no rust.)

Transformers whose car mode has headlights like the Fiero 2M4 and they use their headlights to wink at people
