Siracusa putting focus on the Infected

For all my theorizing about the next Siracusa event there was one factor that I always felt stumped on and that is Crownslayer's role. For one reason or another it felt like there was no satisfactory role she could play in an event following Il Siracusano's themes.

I took a step back and realized that actually there's reasons for the Infected to be a focus even outside of a Reunion leader's appearance and that's what I want to discuss.

Spoiler warning. But without further ado:

So first thing's first: Il Siracusano. The event quite evidently sets up for a sequel. I don't think I need to say anything besides IS-ST-4 and what it entails, particularly:

Demetri making his own famiglie from the remaining members of the Bellone family

Lappland saying she'll destroy Siracusa (almost certainly starting with her father) and being joined by Zaaro

Projekt Red being present in Siracusa hunting down Fangs

Then lastly Crownslayer who we don't particularly get a clear cut motivation for. She starts with one: getting stronger and finding guidance from her teacher. However Red kills her mentor and nothing is ever stated apart from that. In fact without making this a Crownslayer analysis, I think a point of her story is her being lost and searching for control and purpose. After Reunion fell apart she fell back on her mentor however now she has nothing.

To go off of that, I also think that the options that there could be are rather unlikely as well.

The one plot thread she has connections to is the Signore dei Lupi one and the current round of their game however Crownslayer wasn't a Fang and their mentor was killed meaning she's effectively disconnected from that now.

A case could be made that she might've been made a Fang but there's a lot of reasons why I think it's unlikely. How Red and Bernardo act/say about her and the handling of Zaaro and Lappland, as well as just the nature of Fangs and the game being main ones.

But besides that? Well she could join a mafia family however Crownslayer is quite the righteous person, opposing the Ursus after an atrocity they committed and fighting for the Infected. I'll get more into that later but from it I don't think she'd want to join any mafia, particularly with how they treat the Infected and her being one.

Even with going after Red, is that all her story will entail? The other characters even at this point play heavily into the themes of Siracusa and the world. For Crownslayer, a leader of Reunion from Ursus, to be there and only be involved with Red feels needless.

It's at this point that I turned away from Siracusa just to see what Crownslayer was about and work from there. Obviously the most prominent thing about her is that she's one of Reunion's leaders. One of only three to survive and the only one who isn't involved in the main story and a massive figure.

Let's look at her scene in END8-1:

So I don't know if anyone questions whether she cares for the Infected or just wants revenge, regardless I think this proves that she does and even further to that: she would gather the rest of Reunion and help even those that would hate her and who she hated in the beginning. She could have left them and Reunion just to save her own skin but she went out of her way with this.

And I also think that we see a theme throughout Crownslayer's scenes of her being helpless. Whether that's to stand up against Red, to take revenge on Kal'tsit or to be embroiled in a conspiracy unknowingly. And the way she talks here, she emphasizes her being weak, not thinking like Talulah, this group being worse off with her.

I don't think she's leaving Reunion because she no longer believes in the cause or supporting the Infected. She leaves because of her insecurities and if she's helping the same people she hates then I think she'd feel compelled to get involved if something happened in Siracusa in front of her, especially concerning the Infected.

But is there any reason there would be anything like that in the next event?

Suzuran

The screenshots are from Path of Life, the first event after the 5th anniversary event, and the 4th pv revealed in the 5th anniversary livestream. Both obviously setting up the next Siracusa event but also that we will be seeing it likely focusing on why it says in Suzuran's file that she mustn't meet Lappland.

It also connects Lappland or rather the Saluzzo family to Suzuran's infection:

This is the crux of this topic as at this point it's all but confirmed that the Saluzzo family were the ones responsible for infecting Suzuran and this is the catalyst for Suzuran being separated from her Mother, for coming to Rhodes Island. It's even defined Suzuran's experiences at Rhodes as she's studying under Kal'tsit and the medical department and is heavily involved in Rhodes operations.

Twilight of Wolumonde focuses on her and another medic and protege of Kal'tsit's in Folinic going to this city after the death of a Rhodes Island operator and medic, helping out the Infected in the area. The one in question being murdered, knowing it'd cause an uproar in the Infected and it just so happens that a prominent ex-Reunion member in Mudrock gets involved.

As a character Suzuran is heavily connected to the Infected and in all fairness, while far from how much Suzuran is, so too is Lappland. Arguably she shows the most oripathy lesions of any operator and is stated to have severe oripathy symptoms mentioned outside of her clinical analysis.

We're yet to learn how it is that she got infected, whether it was before or after the Texas family purge and how it influenced her life. For instance she worked with Signora Sicily while Infected and there might be more to Lappland joining Rhodes Island.

That the Saluzzo family have been using Originium as shown by Suzuran's files and the presence of a Reunion leader going into the event focusing on Lappland and Suzuran does feel like it could have legs to stand on.

And I feel you could elaborate on this about the themes and what we see in the Siracusa story so far. To bring Crownslayer up again, I checked Il Siracusano to see how much it mentions weakness and it's mentioned the most by Rubio in his speech. He portrays himself as weak and unlikely to get to the position he's in to inspire Siracusa's citizens that they needn't live under the mafia.

I'd find it interesting if that's similar to the position that Crownslayer will be in. Siracusa is all about the corrupt systems and abuse of authority, both in institutions as well as family systems i.e. schools, homes, businesses. Cases like Suzuran's where originium either is being used as a weapon to infect and ruin someone's life or simply just causing Infection by accident still fit into Siracusa's development and corruption.

The treatment of the Infected easily can play into this. And the lorebook states that how the Infected are treated in Siracusa is that they have to pay insurance for the right to work and it's given to a mafia family's judge and enforced by the mafia. It's very possible that where Il Siracusano was focusing on the order of Siracusa, it's development and it's future.

We could now be seeing a more unfiltered look at the abuse of the mafia on the common people. You have Lappland, seeing the actions of her Father and famiglie. Demetri in the position to make the very same actions and in a position of authority. And Crownslayer who isn't a member of the mafia and looking out for the Infected.

Closing off

There's one other thing that I want to mention but doesn't really fit into the above and that is of course: Red. Because she doesn't particularly fit into this but there's a... ... ... fun detail pertaining to the CN introduction for her:

In her CN introduction she's Infected whereas in game she's Uninfected. There's that ominous "She comes into contact more and more. Warn her." and the fact she's entwined with Crownslayer who spawned this whole post just because she's a leader of Reunion and fights for the Infected.

Whether or not this is actually foreshadowing I don't know. It's not like the CN introductions hardly include the Clinical Analysis and the only other one I can think of was Nearl's which we don't even see in game and spoiled that she's not actually Infected years before Near Light.

But anyway. There's all of this and I think the inevitability either in this event or Red's that Kal'tsit will make her appearance. She's expressed in Lunacub's file that she thinks the Signori's game should end and of course is connected to Crownslayer and would add further onto this topic.

That's all for this topic at the moment. Enjoy what comes to mind about this idea.

The Black Rose has Already Infiltrated Piltover and Zaun!

You know how there's speculation that this shadowy figure has to do with LeBlanc because LeBlanc and members of her Black Rose group do the eye/eye makeup glow thing?

Well the conspiracy only goes deeper! Last year, nearly to the day, an exclusive splash art for LeBlanc's Rose Quartz Prestigious skin was released on CN servers.

Do you recognize that familiar face in the background?

I do!

It's Local Cusine (LC)! You could argue that it's just an easter egg. But why is Local Cuisine in Noxus? LC's presumably a sex worker from Zaun and here he is hob knobbing in Noxus, in a splash for LeBlanc of all people.

How do we know this a Black Rose gathering? Well, we can see that the window in LeBlanc's splash art matches the same design used in the homes of other members of the Black Rose in Riot media.

We also know that many Black Rose members wear masks upon first appearance so that their identity will be anonymous to other members. If you look closely, you can even see that the shadowy figure from the trailer is wearing a mask around their eyes as well.

And can you guess which character we met wearing a mask in their very first appearance?

It's Local Cusinie!

But what does any of this mean? Well, LC could have been sent as a spy by LeBlanc herself to test the Medardas' loyalty to the Black Rose. If Swain is truly set to take power by season 2, then many powerful families affiliated with the Black Rose WILL be purged.

Maybe LeBlanc's sent LC to have them killed herself. The Medardas may be loose ends to her, because Ambessa is only loyal to preserving her family and may in fact expose the conspiracy further to Swain to her and Mel if she could.

Or maybe LC has his own agenda. Maybe LC is related to the Ionian princess Ambessa killed. You don't have to be from Noxus to be a part of the Black Rose, the organization predates Noxus itself. And frankly, Black Rose members and their related assets do their own thing pretty often, their web of plans can even bite LeBlanc in the butt.

(NOT MTS CONTENT) Alright, as a Miraculous fan (with a particularly vested interest in Chat Noir) I’m making my thoughts on the new Chat Noir look clear.

I’m not super upset that he doesn’t have a new outfit, since, let’s be honest, Ladybug and Carapace needed it WAY more than he did.

I’m also not that concerned about his new proportions. Yeah, they’re a little funny looking, it that might just be the camera angle. Either way, he’s getting older so it makes sense that his facial structure is changing (plus I give my own CN a slightly more angular face to indicate that he’s a sweet kid, sure, but there’s a lot more to him than just “good perfect bean”.

So then, what’s got me emotionally invested enough to make a Tumblr post? (By now it’s probably pretty obvious…)

The hair.

HERE’S THE THING THOUGH- it’s not that I think the hairstyle is bad or ugly. It’s very stylish, and the smooth swishy look would be more than welcomed on a different character. But that’s the problem, this is the wild and chaotic Chat Noir, the catboy of destruction who tells terrible puns. His hair should not be that neat, and it should not be that perfect (yeah it’s a little messy, but only enough to have that “effortless, natural look” you’d see in a shampoo ad)

Maybe I’m overreacting; after all, it’s just a hairstyle, and I’m treating it like it’s the end all be all for his character in Season Six. However… it’s not just the hair. While watching Season Five, I noticed that Chat Noir doesn’t really joke around as much as he did in previous seasons (especially in the second half of S5), and isn’t really allowed to get mad or be rebellious outside of when his role as the love interest needs him to (trying to cataclysm Dark Owl because of the Married LadyNoir vision, trying to cataclysm Dark Cupid because he’s being a protective boyfriend to Marinette, telling off Nighttormentor because Gabriel forced him to go to London, sure, but the show makes it clear that the REAL problem is him trying to keep Adrien and Marinette apart). Other than that, he’s the perfect well-behaved supportive partner.

In general, it feels like Chat Noir and Adrien are becoming more similar personalities, which is good: I think a lot of us have anticipated this happening for his character arc… but the problem is, Chat Noir is becoming more like Adrien rather than Adrien becoming Chat Noir, because isn’t his arc supposed to be breaking free of the perfect controlled persona his father has forced him into, learning to express himself and become his own person? (There’s also the fact that I think he’s a little more interesting to watch as Chat Noir or the more expressive early seasons Adrien, but his development is the more important issue here.)

This kinda thing has me worried that everyone who believes that the finale was bad on purpose (the secret dystopia route) and that the writer’s genuinely do want us to believe that Gabriel’s actions have been valid and ethical (THEY ARE NOT: BRO IS A TERRORIST 💀.) Either that, or they just want us to watch the cute shipping scenes and not really care about Adrien’s character outside of that. Kinda a bleak view, I know, but that’s how things have been looking lately. (Maybe they’re making him look neater as a part of the dystopia route though? I guess we’ll see but it seems unlikely…)

(I probably should reemphasize that I’m not actually getting this “doom and gloom conspiracy board” over JUST a haircut. It’s more like I saw a bunch of other (personal) warning signs over the last two seasons, and this is just one other thing making me more worried.)

I know this isn’t my usual stuff but I felt like I needed to air my grievances (especially since while I have seen other people not like the new hair, it doesn’t seem to be for the same reasons as me, seeing as I don’t even dislike the hairstyle itself; just the fact that Chat Noir’s the one who has it). Hopefully this was at least interesting or even validating, but if not… Well, I’ll get back to my normal content after this anyway.

Review of drama:

Quite interesting. I personally really like the inception style of the drama. It's a very mindfuck style drama and I like that. It's also interesting to see how the "timelines" or memory lines or whatever they are called differ when he makes different choices but still somehow relate to the main timeline. I recommend watching this drama if you prefer to be confused while watching but at the same time very intrigued by each episode. I hope you enjoy and stay tuned for another whump list soon!

[CN] Victor’s Carbon Pen and Glass Bead Event (Day 1)

⌚ This post contains detailed spoilers for content yet to be released on the global server! ⌚

✦ thursday || friday || saturday || sunday || monday || tuesday || wednesday

【High School Affiliated to Loveland University Second Year (Section 1) Semester Schedule - Thursday】

✄┈┈┈┈┈┈

[Tidbits]: To not break the flow, gonna put the note first– in the first dialogue, Victor’s classmates address him as “老李” (Lao Li)~ the way I hate English vocabulary at times like this LMAO the term “老” here is used as a teasing remark by his classmates to express their respect/ honor for him sarcastically given that not only he’s ahead of the crowd but he acts far too mature beyond his years as well~😂

—

[MATH]:

“Sir Vic, what answer did you get for the second-to-last question?”

“Square root of 2.”

“OK! Now, what option did you choose for the tenth question?”

“I chose option C, but I’m not sure.”

“It should be option A… P is the symmetric point with respect to the straight line x-y=0…”

For the math teacher who loves giving impromptu quizzes, getting the students to engage in discussions during the ten-minute break is also one of their “conspiracies.”

—

[BIOLOGY]:

Looking at the textbook he’s already highlighted with the key points long ago, Victor takes out a collection of competition-grade questions that are carefully sorted to align with the relevant exam topics. As he listens, he begins contemplating the problems.

—

[CHINESE]:

Everyone is on their “best behavior” during the homeroom teacher’s class. The beaming woman is speaking eloquently on the stage, while Victor looks down at a reading comprehension analysis. He finds that he understands it even better than the original writer.

There are so many incomprehensible things in this world.

—

[CHEMISTRY]:

There are less than ten minutes to go until the end of the class. Glancing from afar, Victor notices that Zheng Xi, who is seated near the front door, already seems to be in a stance ready to bolt at any moment. Victor can’t help but feel hungry as he feels himself being infected by the sight.

—

[PHYSICS]:

Is it really possible for anyone to stay alert and not feel sleepy in the first class of the afternoon?

Yes, Victor doesn’t feel sleepy in the slightest.

—

[MUSIC]:

“Aside from focusing on studies, I hope that everyone can enhance their perception of various forms of “aesthetics.” This semester in music class, the teacher aims to create a platform for self-expression, where each student can showcase their talents through musical instrument performances, singing, or dancing. Last week, several students performed exceptionally well. Now, we’ll continue with the presentations in order of student numbers. Up next is student number 23.”

“Does the vice class monitor know how to play the piano?”

“I’m not sure, I’ve never seen him playing it.”

“...”

“...”

“...”

“...Thank you, Victor, for your performance. Music is a form of self-expression. But, next time, perhaps you can also consider singing a song?”

—

[ENGLISH]:

Led by the arrangement of the passionate young teacher, the class is divided into multiple small groups, each assigned to perform different roles based on the textbook content. However––

With a sense of resignation, Victor touches the curly wig on his head and remains silent for a moment. Despite so, he still earnestly delivers the lines of the judge.

“I’m already a mature high school student,” he thinks to himself, feeling at a loss for words.

—

[ENGLISH]:

One of the biggest benefits of the campus activities on Thursday is that Victor can seamlessly participate in the Model United Nations (MUN) right after his English class.

Even if one practices their lines in advance, no one will raise an eyebrow. The school administration teacher is really nice.

Interesting message to receive after revealing the existence of a conspiracy against Dashcon...

Are the ball pit pissers your pawns?

[seasidesketches]

Expose is much better than I thought it'd be!

(Spoilers below)

I was kinda concerned at how simple it started out in part 1, but it picked up really fast, and now it's lowkey one of my favorites! I'm getting a lot of Estero Harbor vibes from it, and I think that's what the devs are trying to do with Tangton.

But unlike Estero Harbor.....the story's actually a lot better and interesting.

Part 3 is hands-down the best part, and we got some....VERY yummy Ikki moments 🍽 JUST LOOK AT THESE! He's so pookie, but he's a sad pookie....wants to avenge his dad so bad.

And Su Jue jumpscared me, but it was a much appreciated jumpscare

It was so nice to see everybody from Farewell Fireworks again! Really makes the espers in Tangton feel like one family trying to work together against all the esper-racism conspiracies going on

So, here's my theory as to what's gonna happen next:

-Fu Shi is coming next. Leaks point to it, and the devs pretty much confirmed it. He's gonna be real important player in the story. Idk what he's gonna do exactly, but I have a gut feeling it's gonna be huge.

-Floating hottie with the spheres is most likely gonna be the final piece of the puzzle here. Again, idk what he's gonna do, but I hope it's important. All I hope is that they actually use him as a character (I don't want my bbg to be useless in the lore!)

-This whole "Tangton-being-the-next-Estero-Harbor" will definitely end when celestial anomaly ends for 2 reasons:

1-the estero harbor stuff ended at event story #4 (Farrah's)

2-it'll be 2nd anniversary time, and the CN server will no longer be newbies in terms of how long they've been in Dislyte

I'm really excited for the upcoming stories, along with pulling for characters. I'm currently saving for floating sphere babygirl, but if I get lucky and get enough wishstones in time, I MIGHT splurge for Fu Shi too...

oh and these are my inferno record savings watch me NOT get a legendary from them, like what happened with my flow records💀

Anyways, sorry for this giant essay of a post. This is probably the longest post I've ever made, but tbh....that's what happens when you're excited about your interest. You type, and then realize you've written a book.

Imma end it here. Check my account on March 19th for Jiang Man's and mine's bday art!

Protean, Heputwisa

"King of Spades" © deviantArt user RayEtherna, accessed at her gallery here

[More proteans! I went for the mammalian design for this protean as an homage to D&D's arcanaloths, especially the Planescape depiction of them as hyper-competent conspiracy masterminds. To go with that theme, I gave it a number of SLAs drawn from Ultimate Intrigue, which is a book I haven't used much. As a reminder, all of my proteans have names that are anagrams for people who are thematically linked to their purview. See if you can figure it out! There's also a reference to an upcoming protean lord I'm working on, although it might be a while before that comes to fruition.]

Protean, Heputwisa CR 18 CN Outsider (extraplanar) This creature looks like an unusual combination of canine and serpentine forms. Its head is like that of an exaggerated jackal, with a long muzzle and pointed ears. A mane of hair grows along its neck and shoulders, which is accentuated by jagged spines. Similar spines grow from the wrists above its clawed hands, and along its long serpentine lower body.

A heputwisa is a powerful protean that embodies conspiracies and lies. They craft and cultivate rumors, spreading them from person to person and watching them mutate and take a life of their own. Few heputwisa are content with a single conspiracy at once, and they often stoke multiple false beliefs at once, some of which are at odds with each other. Some create their own conspiracies more directly, forming cells of rebels that plot against the status quo, or infiltrating a lawful organization to disrupt it and stymie its efforts. Some heputwisas are content to merely create criminal networks or incite revolutions, whereas others seek nothing less than the breakdown of consensus reality.

Heputwisas usually enter combat in disguise, taking the shape of another as an apparent betrayal. Their combats are often as much for show as they are to inflict physical damage, and they may flee after a couple of rounds if they feel they have made their point. The bite of a heputwisa causes its victims’ bodies to revolt against themselves, suffering warpwave after warpwave. Perhaps most dangerous is their ability to disrupt teamwork with their sheer presence. A heputwisa might float over an army squadron invisibly, causing their tactics to fall apart without lifting a finger.

Heputwisas are among the most solitary of the proteans, as they typically view others of their own kind as rivals. Two heputwisas in the same area will usually devote their energy and resources to uncovering the other’s conspiracies, which results in escalation and frequently violence. Only the presence of a protean lord can cause heputwisas to work together, and even then usually at some distance, each contributing to part of a greater conspiracy. The protean lord Etna is one of the greatest patrons of heputwisas, and at least a half dozen of these proteans are sewing seeds of dissent to achieve her ultimate, ambitious goal of regime change in Hell.

Ecology Environment any land or urban (Maelstrom) Organization solitary Treasure standard

Special Abilities Aura of Betrayal (Su) All creatures within 30 feet of a heputwisa must succeed a DC 29 Will save or become filled with dissension. Creatures that fail their saves are no longer treated as allies to other creatures and can't provide flanking, use or benefit from teamwork feats or aid another actions, or allow other creatures to move through their space. Any spell or effect that requires a willing target fails if used on an affected creature, and even harmless effects require an attack roll (if applicable) and require affected creatures to attempt a saving throw to resist their effects (if a save is allowed). In addition, if a creature casts a beneficial spell or uses a beneficial supernatural ability (such as channel energy) while in the area of the aura of betrayal, it must succeed a DC 29 Will save or include the heputwisa in the effect. This is a mind-influencing effect, and the save DC is Charisma based. Change Shape (Su) A heputwisa can change shape at will, but does not gain the healing benefit as is usual for a protean. Constrict (Ex) A heputwisa’s constriction deals bludgeoning and piercing damage. Ego Whip (Su) The touch of a heputwisa inflicts severe doubt. A creature touched by a heputwisa is affected by an ego whip IV spell (CL 25th, Will DC 29). A heputwisa can inflict this penalty along with one of its melee attacks as a swift action. Lingering Warpwave (Su) A creature bitten by a heputwisa must succeed a DC 29 Fortitude save or be affected by a warpwave. Each round, it must attempt another DC Fortitude save—if it fails, it is affected by a warpwave again until it succeeds a save to end the effect. A dispel chaos or similar effect removes a lingering warpwave. The save DC is Constitution based. Perfect Copy (Ex) A heputwisa can masquerade as a specific individual using its change shape ability, gaining a +20 to all Disguise checks to appear as that individual.

Daily Genshin 11

Warning: Potential 5.1 spoilers.

Quick summary: got some crystal cores, condensed 3 resin, farmed for Bennett's talent books twice, collected dailies and other stuff.

I did this as quickly as possible because I really only had 30 min to do this stuff and I wanted to do more story quest stuff.

So I continued the story by checking where Ororon last was and I can't believe we got a whole mini cutscene just to show Citlali's thoughts 😭😭😭😭, plus traveler and Paimon being able to hear said thoughts.

Then there was the whole meeting in the Night Kingdom, Capitano wants to meet us, etc. We went to rescue Ororon and I used Childe International but it still needs work (I need to work on my rotations) because Bennett died 😔.

Ororon has also broken all expectations I had of his character and I absolutely love him 😭😭😭. He grows vegetables and aphids alone in his sort of isolated house!! He's basically a farmer boy who suddenly got involved in the conspiracy to save his home country. It's the epitome of all fantasy plots 😂.

Also his cluelessness and him calling all older people as grandparents out of respect 😂😂😂. In general, the way he talks is so silly and cute, like, I can see why Citlali doesn't believe he would work with the Fatui. Props to Ororon's CN voice because there's a subtle yet noticeable shift in vocal tone between the way he talked to us in the Night Kingdom and the way he talked when we rescued him with Citlali, and I love both voices 😭😭😭.

( I was going to upload a screenshot of him cause he deserves it but I accidentally lost it so just pretend its here)

I stopped right when Citlali took Ororon to find a place for him to stay so next time, we're gonna meet with Capitano and I'm so ready for the lore drops/potential conspiracy we're going to get!! Why is Mavuika's plan not trustworthy (other than the fact it hinges on two more heroes suddenly awakening, because seriously, what if they never awaken)?

Anyway that's all for today and I hope everyone has a good day!

May I ask you to share any Mephisto-related thoughts you have?

Bold of you to assume I have thoughts that aren’t related to him

I not only don’t care about his evil actions and vile personality, they are why I like him. I don’t care if people hate him, it pisses me off when people LIE about him. Now you all know my feelings about this already 💀 so I’ll stay quiet… mostly

So we all agree his voice actor did an amazing job right?? But I can’t find the CN voiced version of the anime so I can’t listen to that one 😔 I need a link

LOOK AT HIM‼️ I laugh at his face in every anime scene he’s in they are prime reaction image material

I didn’t put a cut on purpose so you have to see him and scroll through all this

Okay anime thoughts over the exclusion of him calling Talulah his sister in EN was a microaggression 💔 My feelings about this duo are also known so I’ll reveal that I am working on an analysis of their relationship covering the whole story

I am for hcing characters without shark teeth as having shark teeth (Mephisto and Furina). Not the little side fang the entire mouth

Another silly headcanon he would turn red so fast in hot sun and the Reunion randoms peanut gallery would laugh at him behind his back

His beta design clearly has some relationship to FrostNova’s design and I’ll die on this conspiracy theory

Random Mephisto moments not related to the story that haunt me: the UwU cat, this cat plushie photo, this AS moment, Liduke saying “gay is on my side” about him and Faust, Lowlight buying a print of that Liduke fanart

He’s fucking ugly 💀 Not a hc, just a fact and if you disagree you should be ashamed 💀

Fun fact: Mephisto and Faust’s birthdays are 2 days apart and their heights (at least the original ones, it might have changed) are 2 cm apart

And no for once I didn’t send this ask to myself 😌 all the ones where I don’t confess to it are organic asks

Obligatory fanfic plug:

^ I got fanart for this one 🥰

Future Mephisto fanfics:

Working on a fanfic that I consider the ultimate betrayal because Amiya and Mephisto aren’t completely awful to each other in it. If you don’t know, I derive great amusement from their dynamic as enemies. Normal people AU but I can’t ever stop myself from writing Mephisto as annoying and mean because he is too emotionally immature and lacking in morals to just play nice. At this point every character I write acting rude and self centered to each other just happens on its own.

As for fanfics where they are just awful to each other, I feel kinda bad for abandoning my long fic and I will come back to it after finishing the above one. It was made when I was starting to write fanfics and I didn’t know how to tell the story I envisioned. So it became impossible to continue as it was. I have most of a new chapter hidden away, but I honestly want to restructure the whole thing and tell a tighter story.

I have a WIP sequel for Halo Effect linked above that is even more angsty and tragic.
