#darksiders selfshipping

[monochromatictoad]

I think I'm crushing on Uriel and Usiel from Darksiders?

Like.... I'm already dating War.... But I also ship War and Uriel. But what if I just sandwiched my way between them, I mean... I have two hands?

But Usiel. Usiel. He stole my heart in Darksiders 3. He's so blinded by wanting to bring glory back to heaven and he pays for it by getting his ass beat by Fury. I mean, I like Lust and Pride as well, but I think I just like their designs more than I like them.

Oh but then there's Vulgrim. I really like him too. Oh.... Oh no. I don't think I should add more to my f/o list. I'll have to think about this. I don't feel like I would be able to use the same s/i I use for War, for Usiel or Vulgrim. But I could use them for Uriel 🤔.

I already feel bad for moving Chupacabra down to the QPR. It works better for my dynamic with him, but I still feel a little bad for it. Now my brain is telling me I need to add these three to my list.

Should I?

Hi. This may be a weird question but unfortunately, I have seen it in other servers and it killed the vibe.

Are people who join the server equal? Too often there is favoritism towards more known artists/writers. And adding to that, this tends to lead to favoring certain OCs/ships from said creators while new/not well-known artists/writers get sidelined.

Speaking of OCs. If they are not ignored, they are favored when they have a visual representation like art. Written-only OCs have a hard time garnering attention.

And I mentioned ships because, on many occasions, people tend to see/care only for one ship. Especially when it is OC x Canon. Other ships with the same canon character but different OC tend to get ignored.

The Darksiders fandom is small and building a community is difficult. And I would love to see the server succeed.

No no, this is an excellent and valid question. Thank you so much for bringing this not only to my attention, but to everyone elses because I think this is important to address before the server is up and running.

My intention with the discord server is that ALL are equal. There is a place for readers, ocs, selfships and artists - new/not well known and well known alike. You are all welcome and equal. A major focus of mine is achieving community growth and bonding where members can share their stories, ships and ocs, ideas, headcanons, silly memes and art and such in a healthy, thriving environment.

As a big priority, I aim to keep members safe and comfortable, ensuring that they feel welcomed and secure. As really the only official mod of the server, I ask that members look out for each other and if anyone experiences any sort of negativity, they bring it to the support channel/to my attention immediately.

I will not tolerate a space where others are put down, shamed, disregarded or blatantly sidelined because someone doesn’t like that this member also ships their oc/self ship with the same canon character as them. That is NOT the community I’m making. Just like how kids share their toys — as mature adults I think we can all follow the same courtesy.

And members who don’t have any artwork of their own oc/s should not be treated lesser. Their creation and ocs live on through words which is an art of its own.

I understand that there are people out there who may have their favourite ships, however, I ask that they give themselves a chance to explore this horizon if they plan on being a member in this server. This is a space to encourage one another, not to pick favourites and then discard everyone else in the server.

Once you get that studio member role, you’re one of us. You’re equal to every other member. Your personal ships, your thoughts, art and ideas - all of that which you want to bring to the community - is valid to be there.

Thank you again for bringing this to the frontline, I appreciate that you’ve come forward and let this be known. This will be my first ever community to create and mod and I'm pouring my heart, soul and love into it to make it the best it possibly can be for everyone and I also hope that this server can succeed.

This is a big undertaking for me personally but I really want this. I want a place where people can not just feel like they belong, but where they know they belong. I have only met a small segment of this fandom’s community mainly through Tumblr and Ao3, but this server is for anyone who is interested in what it represents for its members.

This is a hub where those segments on differing platforms can come together as equals.

❤️ and 💙 for aqua? ^^ -aya (@softskiesahead)

Sure thing, Aya! Thank you very much for these!~

(question source: “Self Ship Ask Thing” by summercorez)

❤️ - How affectionate is your F/O? - I would say Aqua is pretty affectionate! Not to the extent that she’s really lovey-dovey and.. sappy, if that’s the right word?? But, she still likes showing affection in her own way a lot of the time! There’s a lot of love in that heart of hers, whether it’s her love and care for her friends (like Ventus and Terra) or romantic love for Aria ^-^

💙 - What trope does your selfship fall under? - I don’t know if there’s a proper name for it, but I remember seeing this where the trope is “has darkside x loves them anyways”, and I think that would make a lot of sense for this selfship! Given.. everything Aria is, haha. I don’t know the names of any other particular tropes, but I guess some other fitting things to describe it would be “sticking with each other no matter what”, “battle couple” and just generally being pretty protective of each other?? Sorry, I can’t think of the proper terms at the moment, but hopefully this gets across what I mean

I hope these answers were alright - thank you very much again for sending these in!!

Fuck it. Usiel is my fiance now.

When you gotta lock in but your gf lowkey a goddess

Good Furynx evening, sketch of the younguns before I totally ruin both of them

(was kinda scared to post this but wtw, lesbians....oh I love you sapphics...)

-get the strap-

WHO SAID THAT....

[monochromatictoad]

This is your pass to gush like crazy about any F/O you’d like !!!🖤 Tell us about lore or fun facts or cute stuff y’all do!!

So, Usiel is very protective over me, but he also knows that I won't stray far from him either. So if he's busy, he'll have one from his army watch over and follow me.

When I got stuck in the Bonelands, his army found me. Once they were certain that I was human, Usiel tried to get to the Maker's Tree, only for his plans to be unraveled because of Lust. We got closer the longer I was stuck with them. I even offered him some help with his maps, and his army when they came back injured from Lust's army. I grew close to all of them, and I was often part of an angel cuddle pile. However, when Fury got to us, with the amulet, she offered to send me through the via magic to the Maker's Tree. Before I went, I had Usiel promise me he'd come back safe, and left him with a little kiss on the cheek ☺️

After getting to the tree, I was met with more humans and the Makers! Ulthane was was scary at first, but I quickly warmed up to him. However, I had spent so much time with Usiel and his army, that I really missed them. When Fury came back, I got upset that Usiel and his men weren't with her, but I knew he had a job that was higher than my need for him.

Once the apocalypse was over, and humanity was slowly coming back to Earth, I was still waiting for Usiel. A part of me hoped he remembered me, and that maybe I meant more to them.

They do come back. Well, his army finds me and takes me back to the White City, because Usiel was upset from almost succumbing to Lust and didn't know if he could face me after everything. So, they brought me to him. We managed to work everything out, and I pulled him into our first, proper kiss ☺️

Nowadays, we move between realms, and his army is always excited when I come back to White City. It's mostly because they know they'll get their cuddle pile, but also because I bring back treats from Earth ☺️

(Usiel really likes chocolate and peanut butter brownies)

Whumptober 11 - Seeing Double; Redemption in War

hi darksiders side of tumblr i've been meaning to interact but yeah i selfship with war he's uhhh war help your human she can't see.

He tries to remind herself that she’s human. Even with that form, the beast that shreds, she’s not as durable as Nephilim. Even the weakest of them could take a hit far worse than she could. Even in that form. It’s not metal protecting her, not scales. It’s wood. It shatters under the demon’s hammer.

She keeps fighting- keeps moving through the arena. He can’t keep an eye on her. He can’t make sure she’s safe. Not when he’s surrounded himself. He is War incarnate- he is fire. He should be able to help her.

But she’s still standing. She’s backed into a corner- spears and weapons are thrown. The Watcher keeps pulling him away. Let the human die.

She can’t see.

Not like when her mind blanks or she stops focusing. The blow that shattered her armor. She can’t see. She can’t see where the demons are, can’t defend herself as well. Still fighting them off. Still moving.

He can’t help her when the leader of these demons rides into the arena on his horse. Ruin’s fire will only make this worse for her. The drying wood will burn too easily.

Eric and Ariel: Have you and your f/o gone on a romantic boat ride before?

I love u fam

F/o : STRIFER!

*not mine*

Never! Not yet at least!!

But it would be nice anyway!!! Wonder how strife would spice it up!

But I imagine cuddling in the boat while we see the stars and maybe not derail ourselves far from the shore .

[monochromatictoad]

Going through the Vulgrim tag and I was delightfully reminded of Lady Dis, a demon you encounter in Genesis. (I don't know much about Genesis, I'm hoping to get it soon so that I can get to know her better) and like?!

It's so unfair how fucking beautiful she is.
