Lore post about Villain Mateo/ VM au for @dream-bandit :D 👍👍 thx for being curious/letting me ramble :3

pt. 2

Ima start with Nightmare King’s changed lore bc Migo’s lore is muy importante for this

So it starts the same: Lunia makes Migo and all that jazz but it changes slightly when the reason Lunia starts spending time away from him is because she has a kid (yeah Logan = Lunia’s kid batshittery continues lol) so blah blah he gets bitter and when Lunia brings little Logan to Castle Nocturnia for the first time Migo straight up just attacks him. Lunia gets pissed and kicks Migo out of the Castle and sends him to the time out corner (really just a rock floating out in dream space) and then slowly Migo’s own anger and sadness from seemingly being replaced (+ some other stuff/miscommunication) corrupt him and the Dream world around him turning him into the Nightmare King and the stuff around him into the Grim Realm. And this is where Night Hunter comes in. Night Hunter’s just been chilling, he’s got Hannah and Zoey (both of whom he loves very much) and a decently high ranking job at the Night Bureau. This all goes down the drain though when Hannah gets hurt on a Night Bureau mission, gets sick, and passes away. Night Hunter gets hella pissed at the Night Bureau because it was their fault Hannah hurt and they did nothing to keep her from dying so he turns on them. He generally just makes the Night Bureau‘s job trickery for the next little bit until the day he finally stumbles across the Grim Realm and realizes just how powerful The Nightmare King is. The two then starting coming up with their master plan to get everything they’ve ever wanted; they’re going to utilize the true power of the dream world by locking dreamers deep within their minds to siphon out dreamers ability to alter the Dream world so that they can make an entirely different Dream world that’s more akinned to a Lucid Dreaming world. This would make it so that the two of them could basically create Dream versions of Lunia and Hannah so that they can live happily ever after with them the way they want. Of course because her dad starts spending a bunch of time working with the Nightmare King, Zoey is somewhat abandoned so she goes to live with her bestie, Miya, but then they have their falling out so Zoey calls her aunt and goes to live with her in Brooklyn. (I should note though that Night Hunter and Dream Bandit both don’t know the other’s identity)

And finally we come to Mateo lol. The Garcia family’s inciting incident that makes them stray from how they are in canon is that instead of Mrs. G just leaving the parents get a full on divorce that ends with Izzie and Mateo being split up. Mateo goes with their mom and Izzie stays with their dad. Unfortunately of course Izzie is a bit to young to remember most of this, including her brother’s best friend. Additional Mateo also starts being homeschooled which puts a strain on Cooper and his friendship because Mateo also moves further away. Mrs. G also refuses to even talk to Mr. G so the siblings go from only seeing each other on holidays to basically never seeing each other period. Very tragic 😔. Anyways at some point Mateo’s aware dreamer-ness kicks in and he happens to meet up with Zoey in the Dream world where, very slowly, they become friends. Night Hunter ruins this of course. He sees Mateo’s potential, especially since Mateo brings Z-Blob into existence ever night, so Night Hunter begins to start being a Shady Mentor ™️ for Mateo and manipulating him into believing that himself and the Nightmare King are the only ones who think he’s special, and cool, and talented and that Zoey just wants to use his skills to help her defeat Night Hunter & Nightmare King. Eventually this all topples over and Mateo ends up betraying Zoey. Zoey of course is really hurt by this and Miya’s betrayal so Zoey becomes even more of a lone Wolf than before and swears off trusting anyone ever again. Once Night Hunter gets Mateo on his side he takes Mateo to the Grim Realm where he fills Mateo in on their plan. Mateo of course is equal parts horrifyed as he is kind of intrigued by their plan (a world where everything could be how he wants? No bullies, no divorced parents? Hey sign him up if you find out a way to do that without capturing and imprisoning hundreds of dreamers) but after a bit of mind meddling from Nightmare King, Mateo quickly joins the bad side.

Now that the pair have Mateo on their side Nightmare King uses Mateo to track down Castle Nocturnia (bc Nightmare King and Night Hunter can’t find it as traitors to the Night Bureau but bc Mateo is a regular “Dream chaser” that hasn’t labelled a traitor yet he can) so the Nightmare King and his army roll up to the Castle and take it over, killing Lunia in process and leading to Mr. Oz/Albert to have to take Logan and go on the run. Due to the chaos of the battle Lunia’s hourglass falls into the hands of Mummy Guy who does his best to keep it from the Nightmare King’s hands. Mummy guy however is forced to teleport into the waking world when he gets into a fight with Night Hunter who shoots him with a corruption arrow. Mummy Guy of course fucks up his teleportation and appears under Cooper’s bed, so before turning into a Night Terror he gives the hourglass to Cooper (who’s been awake all night working on a model car) and then Mummy Guy gets turned into a Night Terror but disintegrates from the light from Cooper’s lamp. This of course leaves Cooper with the task to protect Lunia’s hourglass but unfortunately for him that means he’s about to be put on the hit list of basically every major force in the Dream world.

ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️

b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3

[luck-of-the-drawings]

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

[morganmnemonic]

rewatching World Trigger. I forgot how gay it was. Osamu straight up says "hey Yuma. I know that we've only known you for like five days, but I can't help but notice that you aren't doing anything with your life right now. Mind if I borrow it for a bit?"

And then Yuma responds with "while its true that we've only know each other for like five days, your kind yet stubborn nature has compelled me. Sure. Why not? From this moment on my life is yours to do whatever you want with. One condition, though. You have to be my boss" and then throughout the story he occasionally makes these little remarks like "I'd do anything my captain (osamu) asked me to."

Like bro what? I really don't think that Osamu fully realizes the weight of the loyalty he somehow managed to earn from Yuma. I don't think he could realize it. From his perspective he cringefailed his way into b rank while Yuma did all the work. "And now Yuma would kill or die for me" is just not a conclusion that would ever occur to Osamu based on the avaliable evidence.

And like, what's going on here from Yuma's perspective? I get that he was a man on the brink when the story started, pursuing a sincerely suicidal plan, and then said plan failed and he was left with absolutely nothing, but I still feel like there has to be more going on here. He decided that he would follow Osamu through hell and back the very same minute that Osamu asked anything of him at all.

It's like, combat is all Yuma has ever known. He doesn't see any future for himself at all, but he especially can't imagine a peaceful one. But he's not a bad kid. He doesn't go out of his way to hurt people. Osamu has proven to be a pretty decent person, willing to sacrifice himself to save the lives of relative strangers. Maybe, the way Yuma sees it, yeah he's a weapon, but if he follows Osamu at least he'll be a weapon pointed in the right direction. He'll fight because it's all he knows how to do, but osamu would only ever ask him to fight for worthy causes. Y'know?

Anyway. The point is that Yuma accepted helping Osamu as his new purpose in life after knowing him for less than a week, and that's A Lot, no matter how you look at it.

One of the main reasons why I used to avoid Isekai’s, and fantasy works in general, like the plague is because of how over saturated they’d become with things that didn’t feel like they even belonged to the genre to begin with… it’s not too hard to find works that stand out but so much of those works have been pushed down and forgotten, it just sucks.

Friendly reminder; don't make queer ships straight by making one of them a woman! If you want one to be a woman, both should be women. You can't just make the small twink character a girl and not make his big buff counterpart also a girl it feels gross and fetishy cause at that point why are you shipping queer ships at all? Just find a straight ship? Subtract the twink from the equation all together you don't have to make him a woman to make the ship better in some way, he's adding nothing if you make him a girl then it's just the same ship we have a million times in any other media. Gay erasure in fandom space is so annoying cause it's like YOU LIKE THE GAY SHIP OBVIOUSLY, WHY ARE YOU MAKING THEM STRAIGHT??

A art dump highlight of some of my most liked pen and pencil doddle spreads, that I had did in my notebook from March to April. Also, cough cough it’s mostly just Ichiji with some Niji and Sanji sprinkled in there and one tiny rough doddle of Yonji as well. OvO’)

False Gods

(Lilith feels anger at the way her brother is treated)

Tags: Angst, blood, implied torture, Lilith's general lack of anger of management

For: @jaghatai-khock

She was done with this. She was done. She despised seeing her brother badly doing the exact same dance their father did. Except where Sanguinius was careful and knew exactly what words to use and where to put them, Zadkiel was clumsy and was like a puppet upon strings. He carried none of what Sanguinius was, and if any thought he did they had either forgotten how Sanguinius truly was, or they’d become blinded by the words of the Ecclesiarchy. They could fuck off for all she cared because this wasn’t her brother. He’d been stripped and made into something he wasn’t. And what he was, wasn’t even close to the thing he was trying to emulate. 

She also knew what had happened. Lilith was very familiar with Night Lord tactics, having once been in love with one. Of course, that had been before the Heresy. Before everything went to shit. She knew that these days they were far worse and that her Uncle Konrad was screaming in the warp with whatever sanity he still had. Still, she knew. She knew Zad was broken. It was why she was patient. Why she was careful and kept an eye on his movements; avoided talking about her hunts. She wonders if death would’ve been kinder. Death, at least, was honest. She knew Roboute was simply trying to protect, but making Zadkiel like Sanguinius? It set her teeth on edge, and she could feel herself having to prevent herself from punching through a wall. Why? Why did they have to do this!? A noise that was a bit like an emu escaped her throat. She needed to calm down. Otherwise she was going to give her uncle more scars than he already had. She doesn’t notice as she bumps into Zadkiel and she nearly stumbles before apologizing. 

“I’m sorry, brother, I was going to speak with our uncle” Lilith says her voice steady, well as steady as she could make it with all the rage boiled within her. 

Zadkiel in return, smiled in that awful awful way that looked so forced, like he was baring his teeth rather than truly smiling, “It is no issue, sister, I was coming back from speaking with our uncle. You can always tell me your troubles” He says to her in that airy way that not even Sanguinius spoke in at least not Lilith’s recollection. 

“No, I am fine” She responds firmly, yes it was a lie. But a lie was necessary here because she refused to speak to this… puppet that called himself her brother. At least not to this act anyhow. 

“Are you certain? You seem very stressed, here let me-”

“Don’t touch me!” Lilith hisses moving away from him as he tries to reach out and touch her shoulder. She ran a hand through golden locks, her talons catching on the few knots that lurked within her waves. “I don’t wish to be touched, and this… this isn’t you. This isn’t even Father. I hate what they’ve done to you. Forcing you into this role, that’s just an idealized form of him. You’re not him. You’re not” 

There’s a wet warmth on her cheeks, and she rubs it away to find the red of her tears. It just makes her feel even more frustrated and then she finds herself wrapped in a pair of large arms, and larger wings. He’s not speaking now. But she can see the sheen of tears and knows he’s trying not to cry. At first she wants to shove him off, but one good look at his face and she knows… that this is him. Or whatever that’s left of her baby brother, and in that…she takes solace and hugs him back, letting her bloody tears fall.

My designs for the characters from We Object To Fear :) I love this show a lot and have watched it many times.

In order they are Matthew and his mum, Brian and Clark (prosecution), Alicia and Spencer (defence), and Xander and his unnamed friend (pre-trial).

I think the main thing that pisses me off about like 90% of mephiles ships is that people will be like "how old is he??" Look that fanwiki says that he's ten and they RUN with it. Like they don't read further. I'm so convinced that most people don't even know the plot of 06 bc the shit I've seen people draw and write with the characters is just mind boggling.

Am I seriously one of the few people on the internet that actually liked Descendants: Rise of Red??? 😭😭😭

I keep seeing ppl hate on it. And, like, that’s their opinion… But I wanna know why. Bc all I’m really hearing is it’s mostly bc the OG four aren’t in the movie. And like… isn’t that the point? That it’s a new story with new adventures and characters?
