#demon badboyhalo

[thecoddaughter]

Preface this with the usual “I am not caught up and this is from my current perspective and from reading the tag”

Bad is a demon (highly likely, but he denies it). Being hypocritical and gaslight-y and for lack of a better term in my head slime-y are a part of that. Demons (especially in RP worlds) are categorically known for easily twisting words and being sly with phrasing and blatantly lying. Demons who like to make one sided deals or do secret “you’ll owe me later” type favors.

In RP you are told to never trust a demon and demons are last resort. However, no one knows what Bad is and he established himself as one of the most trustworthy people on the island based on his care for the eggs.

What we are seeing is the demon traits that Bad tries to repress or only use while meme-ing coming out in his distressed state. He is going full demon, torturing and testing people, even his friends.

How much is stuff he actively repressed, urges he worked to ignore? How much is active decision making?

[writing-oof]

what am i if not a dog - Bad (5)

(or: the E.G.G.s have superpowers. this, surprisingly, is only the beginning of El's problems.) (or: or: El Quackity gets rehabilitated like a rabid dog, Quackity yoinks his evil little brother, and A1 is safe and sound at the end of things)

TW: violence, dehumanization, dead eggs mentioned, mentioned sickness/injury

Badboyhalo finds the files on accident.

He's scouring the earth, bloody claws shredding through the dirt and Federation workers lying still in his midst. A corpse gurgles like it's trying to tell him something, but these ones have nothing to say to him.

Before, he would have been careful. He was so, so careful to keep the Federation at arm's length, Dapper tucked into his side next to all of their secrets.

He doesn't regret the lengths he's gone to keep them off the Federation's radar, but...

It doesn't matter anymore.

He can't afford to sit idly, pretending to be the sort of person he isn't.

This, blood dripping down his arms and the taste of flesh caught between needlepoint teeth, this is who he needs to be. If not for the islanders, then for his son.

His son, who's limp and still and hot to the touch like magma is crusting underneath his skin, his Flame that won't stop burning in all the wrong directions.

His son, who hasn't been able to control it for months, his grip on his own abilities loosening with every passing day until it creeps up his arms like vines. Weeds, nestling around his chest and curling down his throat, burning his insides until even screaming took too much for him to do.

His son, who lies like a corpse under the watch of the Islanders he couldn't have afforded to trust before. He could have figured something else out, maybe, but it would have slowed him down. He might not have time to be slowed down by even the smallest of margins.

Ultimately, it was this:

Badboyhalo had a choice, and he chose his son.

He'd do it again in a heartbeat.

He'd do this again in a heartbeat, or maybe even less than that. The blood on his tongue tastes sweeter than he remembered, even in the stale air of doors long unopened.

Bad shoves past his own distraction, pulling open cabinets and flicking through paperwork until he catches sight of the acronym he needs.

E.G.G.

The first file opens to a picture, a little face that stares free from scars and the hardships of the island, a photo taken just after she had been given to her parents; he can see the Adoption Center blurred behind her wobbly grin. He remembers when they lost her, powers they didn't know she had growing in strength and hostility until she died in her bed, writhing in her father's arms.

Beneath the photograph, a lazy scrawl.

JuanaFlippa, it reads, FAIL

Further down, past text he doesn't have time to care about, Abilities: Unknown. Cause of death: Unkown.

Bad snaps the file shut and moves on to the next one.

Tilín's is a face he hasn't stopped seeing, the echoes of them pressed like an imprint into their father.

The photo is fresher, taken from a distance while they glare at Quackity with a playful disdain.

Tilín, it says, PASS

Bad stops for a moment, starts again.

Abilities: Fear Manipulation, Level 4

Fright Night, they'd called it with a toothy grin. It really was something else, something Bad had only once had the pleasure of being subjected to.

Cause of death: [XXXY] ability alteration, authorized by [XXXX]. Crossfire casualty

Charlie had never forgiven himself for the fear that had seeped out from the Skeletons they were fighting, catching Tilín in the midst of it with a sword through their chest. Even after Quackity had finally stopped trying to kill him, a reluctant concession that this was bigger than any of them, Charlie had never bounced back from it.

Ability alteration, though. That's...certainly something he doesn't have time to unpack. Food for thought, Bad supposes as he grabs Tilín and JuanaFlippa's files, tucking them under his arm.

The next file is just as morbid as he thought it would be, the photograph of a barely-visible and too-thin Trump probably taken a few weeks before he actually died. A stark FAIL is pressed just beside his name.

Abilities: Invisibility. Cause of death: Malnutrition, Neglect

Bad's heart aches inside his chest as much as it's able to. He remembers the grief the E.G.G.s had felt, the regret that had choked the islanders when they stumbled across his still-invisible, emaciated corpse that had begun to rot weeks after the fact.

The final file he flicks open is Bobby's, the little boy's wide grin staring directly into the Federation's camera. Bad's not surprised he knew it was there, even though Technopathy was really Leo's thing, feeling the electricity he was sure to move made some sense at least.

Bobby the file reads, and again, PASS

Abilities: Electrokinesis. Cause of death: [XXXY] ability alteration, authorized by [XXXX]. Direct casualty

Bad snaps the file up, adding it to JuanaFlippa and Tilín's.

There's something here, something he's going to find.

If it's the Federation that's killing his son, somehow, someway, he's going to put a stop to it.

---

Bad may have bitten off more than he can chew. Slightly.

In his defense, what with all the Flame in his life lately, he thought it would be funny. Ironic, even.

It is kind of funny, too, even though he doesn't have time to tear through the remaining E.G.G. files as the fires he set start to catch up to him.

He grabs the remaining E.G.G. files without flipping through them and starts to pry open the silver file case that even the high-level clearance badge he stole can't seem to open.

He grunts, his claws straining as he pulls, the image of his son and the dead E.G.G.s he refuses to let Dapper join fueling his efforts.

Finally, the file unlocks with a pop, the case click, click, clicking as he lifts the lid.

Beneath a glass panel, the title sheet is almost entirely blank, except for a small, careful scrawl.

Broadcaster Experiment, Authorized by [XXXX]

It's fairly innocuous, if you ignore how hidden the case was, but Bad can't help but feel like he's stumbled onto something big.

The case clicks under his hands, a steady click, click, click that seems to be getting louder and louder the more that he listens to it.

It's getting faster, too. Click, click, click, click, click.

It takes a moment too long before it--well, it clicks for Bad.

Then, eyes blowing wide, he grabs the case and tosses it as far into the corner of the room as he can, grabbing the files he set aside in his arms and rushing for the door.

The world seems to slow as he takes, one step, two steps, three steps, before the case explodes.

His ears ring, the armor on his back charred and hot where it touches his skin.

He pulls a health pot from his bag with shaking hands and downs it in one go, quick-footed as he hurries out of the burning and now half-exploded building.

Oops.

Part 5 of ? First Previous Next

[feelingvoguish]

Made this silly thing cause i love the demons🔥

[tomfrogisblue]

Big fan of whenever a creator from one of the other languages meets Bad for the first time and he tells them his name is BadBoyHalo and explains it to them

Then they fucking hit it off and later the creator explains to him that no, he is not a bad boy, he is a good boy, he is GoodBoyHalo

The demon lore of all three of our demon characters has been ramping up a ton lately, it’s not just me that notices it right? and it really feels like they’re all connecting together too

q!tina’s current lore exploring her emotions about herself & her relation to the other two demons on the island. tina, scared and being watched by an unknown threatening demonic force. mouse instantly understanding what was happening with tina and why she’d be afraid, without barely having to be told anything about it

mouse revealing more details of her own past, and explaining the difference between demons that were turned vs those who were born as demons, confirming the natures of all 3 of them. q!bad’s current lore of death, immortality & memory impacting all of his friends, which perfectly is aligning with discussions of those Exact topics from both mouse and tina recently. mouse once again instantly understanding what was happening with q!bad’s mind, saying that he just “needs some time” and “it works different for him” without barely having to be told anything about it.

feels like they all know things, and are weaving different but connected areas of a complex demon lore tapestry. it’s so exciting!!! makes me curious about the behind the scenes discussion that must’ve gone into this worldbuilding

i’ve also been wondering if the lore is advancing more recently because of the nether unlock happening soon? after q!mouse’s comment the other day about “getting powered-up in the nether” that’s been on my mind

Phil is always saying he wants to see the demons go full demon mode but the only demon who does lean into the violent side (in the way Phil wants, not just the demonic threats like Mouse and Tina) is Bad.

And Phil will NEVER see this side of Bad because his cocky, overconfident, violent, bloodthirsty and more overtly demonic side only comes out when he's fighting mobs in dungeons, raids, etc.

The only time Bad and Phil are ever fighting together is when there's at least one egg with them. In which case, Bad is IMMEDIATELY in Tio Bad mode and is doing nothing but stressing over the little ones.

His callouts are checking on the eggs, advising them on how to deal with the mobs, reminding them to back up if they need to, making sure they're staying nearby.

Rather than when he's soloing, he's taunting the mobs, telling them to beg for forgiveness, cackling as he shreds them to pieces and asking if that's all they've got, calling out for them to try harder even when he's at half health.

Phil will never get to see Bad go 'demon mode' in the way he wants him to xD

I am desperately hoping that we get a BadBoyHalo that’s similar to Eggpire!Bad, because that was some wonderfully creepy acting on his part and I want more! I want the other islanders to feel their skin crawl when he talks, to sense the menace behind his honeyed words but have no proof for their fears. This is Bad! Their friendly neighbor and uncle and dad! He’s just confused right? They’re just imaging the chill down their spines when he smiles, all teeth and no warmth….right?

[valrnyx]

I swear, Bad, Mouse, and Tina must have like a demon lore gc/google doc for when they just add random tidbits of lore. All three of them do such subtle lore and love dropping tiny tidbits of random ass lore whenever they feel like it. They all have to keep track of it in someway right??
