FC5 headcannons, depXseeds wedding vow edition:

Joseph would probably insist on a very traditional religious vow, repeat-after-priest style, with a whole sermon preceding it. For richer, poorer, sickness, and health... When they get to the "obey" part, Dep is like "uh..." And they awkwardly move past that.

Jacob would take you to a courthouse and whatever the officiant said is good enough for him, the important part was the vulnerability it took to get to this point

Faith is giving the most heartfelt, sappy, poetic, lovey-dovey hand written vows, she doesn't even have to look at her paper, she memorized it. She will be crying. She might sing.

John unfortunately is giving one of those "I'm marrying you for your tits" kind of speeches that everyone cringes about and they go viral on tiktok

[derelictlovefool]

could you do the hope county folks (whoever you want!) with a gn reader (friends/acquaintances to lovers) who’s really affectionate caring and protective with them but cold distant and indifferent to other people?

This sat in the drafts for a while, I could only manage four before it felt repetitive, but I hope you like them nonetheless!

Sharky is over the moon the first time he notices it, he's never really been super special to anyone before so seeing the distinct way you treat him compared to others makes him all giddy.

At first he's bragging about being your best bud, saying he gets best bud privileges like all your smiles, hugs and fussing over his well being.

He feels like he's won the lottery and he's gonna rub it in everyone's faces for as long as possible.

He may do stupider stunts in front of you because he enjoys it when you dote on him.

He never finds it off-putting when you're being sweet to him one second and cold to others in the next, he thinks of it like a cool superpower.

Over time he starts getting really comfortable with you, he loves spending time with you and joking around with you and all the affection you direct at him always leaves him with a goofy smile.

He figures out he might have more than friends feelings for you after some point.

Of course he doesn't know how to tell you and he figures he can get away with just being your best bud forever, you already treated him special as it was.

But then he starts to notice other people trying to get your attention and he starts wondering about what would happen if he wasn't your sole best bud who you treated so nicely.

And it scared him enough to confess—in his Sharky Boshaw certified way. aka half of a field ended up on fire with your name scorched into the ground and Sharky looking at you with the biggest puppy dog eyes ever.

Of course you didn't leave him hanging and Sharky ends up with double bragging rights of being your boyfriend.

Mary May is flattered by it, confused but flattered.

She figured it was because the company at the bar wasn't your cup of tea but after spending time with you outside of the bar she catches on to it being something a bit more.

She doesn't question it, since she doesn't really know how.

It doesn't really bother her, after a while she barely notices your cold attitude towards others since she's just happy to see you.

If anyone asks she just laughs and says she's just the best company around and you liked her best.

She teases you about it a few times but ultimately doesn't make a huge deal about it.

She enjoys spending time with you and having someone be so caring and protective of her for the first time in a while means a lot to her.

She slowly starts giving back the same amount of care and protectiveness, to the point where if people call you cold she'll go to bat for you about it.

She knows how warm and caring you are and she's not listening to any disrespect.

This leads her down a rabbit hole of slowly falling for you, all your alone time and special attention slowly bubbles into something she can't ignore.

So she sets up a cute little date for the both of you and asks you out, ready to accept either answer but being over the moon when you say yes.

After that people know not to whine about your indifference to them in front of her, because she will ban them from the bar and tell them they just need to work on their personalities.

Jerome is a people person, a proud man of community, so admittedly he is utterly bafflee by how little you care for everyone other than seemingly himself.

At first he's perhaps even put off by it, caught in the considerations of what it could mean without taking it at face value.

He's a grown man so he asks you about it eventually and after your simple and casual explanation he comes to accept it.

He's not one to tell others how to feel after all and despite your coldness to others it wasn't as if you were cruel to them, you weren't hurting anyone and he enjoyed your company.

And if he was honest after the beating the years had done to his pride, being so important to someone was almost needed.

Having your sole attention in a crowd of others was nothing like he'd experienced, even during his sermons, and he began to seek it out.

He enjoyed spending time with you alone, talking for hours about your interests and slipping into some debates here and there.

He felt challenged, appreciated and engaged whenever he was with you and it didn't take long to figure out he had feelings for you.

Figuring out how to go forward was a struggle for him, he hadn't considered being in a relationship for a long time but you sparked the want in him again.

After months of dancing around his feelings and trying to search for answers in prayers he invites you over for dinner to gauge your own feelings.

When it's out in the open you both feel the same the only thing left to do is accept it; so he laughs at how stupid he was being and asks you if he can take you on a proper dinner date.

He never truly understands your cold attitude towards people but he easily balances it out with his warmth and other people soon see you as a pair that cannot and should not be separated.

Faith seeing you be cold and indifferent to others the first time was like a dopamine hit, the cogs in her brain turned as a delighted smile spread across her face.

Realising all your affection, sweet smiles and joking words were solely reserved for her, made something in her do backflips.

She was hooked.

In a way she was somewhat similar, her sweetness to others was part of her darling act after all.

And perhaps it was an act towards you at first as well, but after seeing you go from apathetic to beaming upon seeing her she quickly changed her tune.

She reserved the genuine side of her just for you, the good and the bad.

She confided in you, trusted you like no one else and in turn you did the same.

She felt seen again, you made her feel real and like someone worth admiring.

Of course, as all addictions go she became antsy when she couldn't be with you, couldn't have your warmth showering over her.

She realised over the course of your friendship that she couldn't stand the thought of that warmth being directed at someone else.

Of losing you and having your smiles and secret whispers lost to someone who didn't deserve you.

So she confessed her feelings, promised to make every day more blissful then the next if only you stayed with her.

And you never had any intentions of leaving so of course you say yes.

And thus the project members hail you as their angel's brooding lover and protector, someone to be respected and equally admired despite your indifference to them.

Every dol charactor has some weird yandare thing going on but part of that is because your the main charactor but if you ignore that there's some traits that if dialed up a bit more have some serious obsessive potential.

I'm mostly thinking about sydney and his constant need to point out that he wants you pregnant after you have sex in the prayer room. When your talking with Robin at lunch he kisses you infront of robin and Robin and kylar only kiss you when the other one leaves.

Also I seriously think sydney doesn't think of kylar as a threat because he's secure in his thought that your his already. Like when he takes a library book from kylar and he sees the image of you and chooses to brush it off. Or how he'll actually scold and confront whitney like he's a child

Sydney is the weird devious yandare type. Where he's convinced himself that other people aren't a threat. I'm gonna add some delusional stuff too because when he's corrupted he's got some scenes that really cross the line from "church boy who just discovered sex" to "holy shit you have dark kinks"

But like... that's the jist for sydney. I feel like he's more dangerous then he let's on.

I feel like we don't talk nearly enough about how interesting "Houses of the Holy" is as a Supernatural episode. Because a lot of it is a template to where the show will be in a couple seasons, when at the time it was written, angels weren't in the show's plans.

And sure, this is the episode that foreshadows Sam pointing at something just behind Dean and confirming it's Michael. And that alone is a delight.

But let's talk about other interesting aspects of the episode:

The origin of Dean's skepticism of faith from all the evil he's seen from the age of 4 on, contrasted with Sam's desire to hold onto faith so he can be saved due to his link to the YED.

Dean and Sam's argument about faith and things you can see and believe in that has a lot in common with the one in 4x2.

Sam desperately wanting angels to fix problems or redeem him. And him being disappointed in the reality of that, a lot like 4x7.

Dean's argument of how he knows nothing is watching over them because all you can count on is evil and chaos is the root of his fight with Cas in 4x2.

Then there's the fact that Sam is judging Dean for his pursuit of pleasure. Despite that, Sam feels he's the one that needs saving. And Dean despite his love of vice, is the stand-in for the angels. He's the avenging angel of this episode, making sure the woman is okay and chasing after the bad buy. And he literally says he's watching over Sam at the end to reassure him when Sam is hurt because this wasn't an angel case. Dean doesn't think there are real angels around, but he's determined to be the angel in someone else's life - whether it be Sam's or someone else's.

And then there's the way the bad guy is killed with a pole at the end, "Final Destination" style. I can't help but wonder, did the angels do that? We spent a whole episode talking about faith. Was this to test the boys and see how they'd react to angels a little before they gear up for Sam's death at season's end? And long term, feel them out before they put their plan into action for the apocalypse? Was Father Gregory something they "helped along" somehow to lure the boys to town? There's a theory Gabriel lured them to scope them out in "Tall Tales" a couple episodes later. Who's to say the angels didn't do the same thing (maybe even inspiring Gabe)? Or perhaps the angels just take advantage of the situation since they were already watching the boys long-term? And moving the pole was as much to protect Dean as it was to see his reaction and if that would sway his lack of faith? Or was an angel (like Cas) watching over Dean and interfered to ensure his safety in the car chase? And maybe even wanted to show off a little?

I don't know. But it sure is fun to contemplate.

Moral Orel AU - Everyone’s happy and good (ish)

Trigger/Content warning: Mentions of guns and death, plus implications of child abuse. Also there Christianity is used a lot.

Clay Puppington

- Moralton’s respectful mayor, Orel and Shapey’s proud father, Bloberta’s loving husband, Danielle’s loyal best friend and the prime example of a good Christian man, dad, and spouse to his family and everyone in town.

- Clay has a loving and healthy relationship with his nuclear family. He deeply respects Bloberta for being so capable at managing things around the house, and pretty much lets her be the one to call the shots in their home. He is deeply in love with her and will always find any opportunity to compliment her or showing his affection (helping with chores, buying her gifts, hugs, kisses). He also encourages her to go out and have fun if she is ever too stressed, as in his own words: “You already work so hard for our family! Is only fair you take a break every once in a while”

- Alongside Bloberta, they tend to monitor Shapey more than Orel, mostly due to his behavioral issues, although Shapey is going to a therapist and actively taking psychological treatment, so his reactions are more toned down. He still loves him though, and buys him plenty of toys and enjoy some son-father bonding activities, usually playing board games, doing art or just talking.

- Orel is his pride and joy, his little son and big champ. Yes, Orel tends to get himself into trouble, a lot. And yes, he also tends to get into random shenanigans like, every other day, but he firmly believes that nothing can’t be solved without proper apologies, attaining for your actions and talking about it. He absolutely will not harm Orel even if he was threatened, but does have multiple talking sessions in his study, usually with some apple cider. He also spends quality time with Orel, and just like Shapey, they partake in bonding activities, with the added bonus of Clay being the town’s scout leader and taking him and his friends to camp every other weekend.

- Clay’s relationship with his father, Arthur, is a bit awkward. He still caused his mother to die due to his stupid prank, but Arthur still did his best to raise him properly, however he never really forgave him for killing his lovely bride. Clay still feels extremely guilty and made a promise to himself, his dad and his mom at her funeral, that he will definitely live his life as a proper Christian, to atone for the sin that he committed and which he will never forgive himself for. He still sends letters to his father regularly, usually giving him updates about his family, the town and sometimes sending money through post if he ever needs it but, more often than not, he sends him gifts and letters from the other family members.

- Danielle’s best friend and drinking buddy. They’ve known each other since high school and have stuck together through thick and thin over the years. While they usually talk about Orel and Shapey’s school performance, they tend to reminisce about the old times and set up drinking parties or simple hang outs. He doesn’t really care that Danielle is gay, after all “God loves all his children equally”.

Extra facts:

- Clay doesn’t like guns, and only has 1 fire arm for emergencies. He will teach Orel how to use it one day.

- Not super fond of alcohol, he is more of a social drinker. Instead he has an apple cider collection in his study.

A BIT OF LORE:HOW DOGDAY/1202 FEELS WITH...

Disclaimer: This list will not include Catnap, because he deserves his own lore section for describe this complicated relationship.

PICKY PIGGY: Picky or "Miss Piggy" as Dogday used to refer to her, was an experiment that was in charge of feeding the entire playcare; from home sweet home to the counselor's office. However because of Priya's "background"; The experimentation with Picky's mind ranged from forcing her memories to giving her terrible brainwashing; Therefore, the gluttonous personality of the character she embodied with the psychological discomfort of her person constantly fought. Dogday, being able to do little or nothing for her, was limited to placing limits on her when she had a food binge or reassuring her when she couldn't consume even a glass of water. and although it was a small gesture, both sides of Picky were grateful for that gesture from her leader, realizing that Dogday ate mostly nothing and noting her obvious repulsion towards the raw meat she hid and gave behind the scientists' backs. tuna sandwiches. other data: -Although she didn't have functional legs like Crafty or Dogday, she knew how to use her pig hooves to hold things and cook. -Bubba and she use some camouflage liquid bands; which prevents other experiments from recognizing them as adults and attacking -sometimes he jokes about sneaking unpleasant things into all the adults' food (ex. on Chinese food day he said "by the way, have you seen a dogday plushie? I saw him playing near the kitchen before turning on the shredder")

BOBBY BEARHUG:

Bobby/#1186 was what Dogday could consider a "right-paw bear" and a great friend he could count on from start to finish (even before he recognized that she was his friend Minerva). Dogday, aware of Bobby's deaf-mute and that with his paws it was difficult for him to communicate with the children, she acted as a translator so that the children understood what Bobby wanted to say; and in turn, she let Bobby know how loved she was by the playcare children. Other data: -before Dogday arrived at playcare, she was the children's favorite; Although she always maintained a high position in popularity among the little ones in playcare because she was the closest maternal figure to her. -she communicated through morse code (using footprints and scratches) -Dogday realized that she was Minerva because she used a typical Colombian swear word with Hoppy that Dogday (when she was Libby) frequently heard to Minnie when she got angry. -No. Dogday won't say what the swear word is.

Kickin Chicken: Kickin/#1192 was the critter who was most emotionally dependent on Dogday; Well, the person behind the chicken, Carlo Buggatti, who was a normal teenager whose only connection with PP.Co was that his older brother worked there, ended up transformed into that because in an attempt to find his brother he learned something he shouldn't have. , and the playtime scientists preferred to take advantage of it before feeding it to Boxy Boo. As soon as he realized that Dogday could remember and the gas had no effect on him, he told him his entire story at once and begged that it didn't matter if he forgot who he was, that DD wouldn't do it and call him that when no adult was watching him. Dogday accepted the heavy task and helped in everything he could so that he would not be alone and cope a little better with the terrible situation. Other data: - the reason they both have a headband in the illustration is because Kickin, being the only biped, often hit his head; and Dogday, in his desire to ensure that he is not alone, learned to do it even if he ends up equally beaten. -In the brainwashing he underwent he forgot many things, except what he looked like from the outside; In an attempt to compensate for all the support that Dogday gave her, she told her things about the outside that even Dogday when she was human did not know, such as; about what a plane trip was like or that he was a "mate."

Hoppy Hotscotch:

Unlike the character in the series, Hoppy/#1192 was entirely problematic; She was aggressive with the newly arrived children and isolated those she considered weaker. She also hated the fact that an inferior experiment (in the sense of being of a later number than hers) like Dogday wanted to give her orders; Therefore, every time she could, she was aggressive with the dog and if she could find a way for her to end up punished, she did so. There even came a point where Dogday exhausted all of her methods of reasoning with her. Other data: -thanks to Hoppy's terrible character and her horrible way of acting; They made Hoppy's character one of the most hated in playcare. -ironically she was the one who best pretended to tolerate adults. -She was the only critter who partially joined the happy day plan just to annoy the dog, but when she realized that it wasn't a raid, and instead it was a massacre, she tried to fix things… but now It was late when he wanted to do it. -unlike canon (where Hoppy is on the autism spectrum), Margarette is not on the spectrum; She is just a teenager with a horrible character as a result of circumstances.

Craftycorn:

Craft/#1194 started out having a distant character and only focusing on the only thing that kept him sane which was making crafts, and Dogday instead of breaking the wall of craftycorn followed his way of doing things to get closer (and describing it as " feeling a deyabu about it"); He was totally aware that not everyone interacts in the same way, so he started trying to make crafts even though they looked bad on him. Over time he became one of the most trusted friends the unicorn had, giving that love and respect through gifts given by him. Other data: -Like Bobby, Dogday recognized his friend Kennichi through language; in his case he in an outburst of anger in Japanese. -It was known that unlike Dogday, Craft hated being referred to as the character assigned to him, either as crafty (that's why they called him Craft) or as a girl. -However, in a Dogday joke he made to exchange voice boxes he told him "Wasurete, I prefer to sound like a squeaky toy than to sound like the doctor"

Bubba Bubbaphant:

More than being a friendly figure; Bubba / #1187 or "Mr. Bubbaphant" was a guide for Dogday, not only because he was one of the oldest critters; He is the only one who, due to his function, his adult faculties remained as intact as possible. He was always there when Dogday needed guidance when he arrived, and when he needed advice once he served as leader (although he often struggled to keep up with Bubba's detailed explanations). His work as a teacher was greatly displaced when the Delight sisters arrived at school, so Dogday motivated him to be a support for the students who could not keep up with the new teachers (who were extremely relentless and did not conceive the idea that Not everyone learns at the same rate; which is why they were very hard on the poorest students). other data: -While he is conscious enough to remember many things about his human life, he does not remember being Horatio Buggatti. -Dogday accidentally commented that when speaking Spanish he had an accent similar to Kickin. -Like Picky, he wears a band of liquid camouflage to avoid detection as an adult.

[lettucethesoviet]

shout out to that one person who headcannoned Father Garcia's mame as Rogelio Daniel Garcia cuz alot of fanfic writers are starting to use it too <3

[ameseclipse]

obsessed with the fact that majority of hatchetfield’s citizens are autistic coded

[inactiveacc1234567890]

john ward hcs

hes a twink

he isnt even a priest he just has a halloween costume and stole the cross from allreds dead body

he is absolutely going to the deepest depths of hell

he says goofy shit like "oh dear" "oh golly" "goodness gracious" "cool beans" etc

this is all canon, airdorf told me personally

[doughguts-art]

Thanks a bunch for answering my ask! It's always nice to see new art from you! =^.^=

I've been wondering a little, how fast can Demon Louis run? :O Does being on all fours (fives...?) and demonically powered make him faster than the Average Joe? Is it less than how fast, say, a cheetah can run?

Thank you for your time! Have a nice day!

Demon Louis is fast as FUCK Though just like a cheetah, these are in sprints, and because of it's constant need to consume flesh, Demon Louis can't really run that fast in an endurance test. DL's endurance speed would probably be closer to Michael's (headcannon) top speed for longer periods.

Also since John has an ankle injury from his childhood, he's just a little slower than normal. "Human" Louis's top speed would probably be above average at ~10 mph

[acourtoffandomsandfics]

Seeds and hygiene:

Jacob is immaculate- the military wouldn't let a MF have skid marks!! He knows how to make his bed and he does it so well it looks gift wrapped. You could white-glove check everything that he is responsible for. That doesn't mean he's going out of his way, cologne is a no-go. Unscented everything. Makes it easier for him to sneak up.

Joseph believes in the old adage that cleanliness is next to godliness. He doesn't want to be gaudy, though. He'll go for scents like "fresh linen" or maybe a springy floral for a special occasion. He keeps his living space clean but cozy, no clutter but lots of mementos and photos etc.

John is clean but like .. not? He probably thinks $350 cologne will compensate for a little must. Plus, he's got arguably the least healthy lifestyle. He def still drinks and probably sneaks a smoke here and there. And he's always like, mad worked up. Dudes gonna sweat. But it's not gonna be rank nasty. It's like, pheromone stank. Mixed with expensive cologne. So less clean but NOT less sexy.

Faith washes her ass sure but she gives musty to me I'm so sorry. Crystal deodorant. Patchouli. Weed. Bliss. Re-wears clothes to save water/the environment. Bare feet ALL the time? They gotta be a little gnarly. Probably has at least tried free-bleeding, before she switched to an all-white aesthetic. I'm so sorry 😐

[jonsnowunemploymentera]

I think it’s funny that every time someone makes a post about how the Starks fit into the Seven, Jon is always the Warrior or the Stranger. Both of these make a lot of sense, but I never see people headcannoning him as the Smith even though I think it makes just as much sense as the other two. Because much of Jon’s arc has been about mending what’s been broken over the years. First, he’s been working to return the NW to its true purpose. And not just that, but he’s also been changing many of its outdated practices and replacing them with newer, more practical (and more ethical) ones. And then with the wildlings, he worked to foster peace between them, the NW, and the Northmen. An important theme in Jon’s ADWD arc is that of rebuilding - rebuilding the Wall and the North as well. Jon doesn’t spend much time battling monsters or other knights (as a warrior would). And he may be an outcast as he does spend time wandering around beyond the wall (among other outcasts), but that’s not his entire story. Jon’s arc has been about making a place of belonging for other outcasts (wildlings, NW recruits, etc). He is a bridge/balance between different opposing groups, and this is one of the more important aspects of his character. So as much as he is a warrior and an outcast, he is also a mender. A smith. And we should recognize that more often.

[grim-has-issues]

when rewatching the bastard warrior, a lot of thoughts are implied to be heard by other characters.

for example in the fourth episode, devlin thinks about betraying albus and faithful. And when he’s confronted with these thoughts, devlin starts getting flustered and confused(and maybe a little edgy).

albus responds both times to devlin’s thoughts

is this from the mantel(?) or is it another power possessed by a character. i am inclined to say the former, but who knows.

it never happens again until the last episode when faithful supposedly reads korano’s mind.

soooo…

[pinkbolts]

i know i need to do the x'hal thread like i said i was going to do but i cannot stop thinking about how people on tamaran probably think starfire is their messiah & true queen because of how closely her & their gods stories are + how similar their personalities are. & how they must've been so heartbroken with her capture & komand'r's ascension. how komand'r genuinely is everything they feared about a leader, even with her unwavering loyalty to the planet. she's still cruel, unwavering, & narrow-minded. & koriand'r is everything they could've hoped for. she's compassionate, she's powerful, she's resilient, fearlessly devoted, brave, etc. etc. etc.

i also need to mention: kori felt horrible about about usurping her sister's birthright & how she never truly wanted the throne but wanted better for her people. how she wanted better for her sister.

who's to say what's real or fake// Genshin SAGAU

from aree: impostor au but you actually are the impostor? but ofcourse theres a twist. I think i'll call this FakeGrace!Reader. This was just going to be a headcannon post but ended up a whole fic plot

warnings: themes that all come with the sagau tag (yandere, lots of religious talk, cult, etc.)

word count: 2k~

You end up on Teyvat and immediately the characters recognize you as their Creator; of course you're their Creator - you have the same face, name, and voice. You go through the ordeal of getting to know all the characters all over again and they in turn love you as the god they’ve been waiting for all this time.

You decide that well, this is the world and characters I spent blood, sweat, and tears building (even if it was behind a screen) so might as well help out and do what needs to be done. The people come to you for their problems and you find that they're not as difficult as when you were simply a player. Maybe a minor dispute here and there between the NPCs, but now the vision holders and the Archons ask for your thoughts on how to go about political matters concerning their nations. Even Snezhnaya has signed a peace treaty with the other nations as a show of good faith to the Creator (even if you know for a fact its a temporary one).

All has never been better.

Until another Creator appears in Teyvat, and this one bleeds gold the way their stories foretold. In a way you do not.

The vision holders are torn. Yes, you are an impostor, and they want to hate you for tricking them, but at the same time haven’t you only shown them love? Haven’t you been patient with them and understanding despite being thrown into a world you’re unfamiliar with?

But with careful coercion from the other god, they have to choose to follow their true Creator. You decide to take pity on them and step down from your position yourself, choosing to live with the Aranara who have gladly taken you under their wing (fake god you may be, you are still a friend of the forest, and the forest always remembers its friends).

The Archons tell their new Creator that you are no more. They pretend to not hear when the Creator says they should have brought your head with them, maybe just a bitter reaction for finding out that they have been serving an impostor all this time (the Archons are lying when they say they do not feel sickened at the idea of hurting you, and disgusted at this new God's words)

It soon becomes clear to the people of Teyvat that this new Creator is not you - none of the patience or kindness you had showed them. This new one thinks helping their people is below them, even laughs at some of their problems. They chuck their duties as a god to the vision holders and spend their days leisurely, wining and dining on the best food, expecting to be waited on hand and foot. And at first it was fine, the characters understood. Maybe their Creator was just enjoying the fruits of their labor for once (although in the back of their mind, they can't help but compare you - you who worked tirelessly to attend to everyone even when they’d almost beg you to take a break). The characters tell themselves that they just need to get used to this new god, their true Creator. It will all right itself in time. Even as the Creator acted more like a child by the day, calling for the punishment of characters for the simplest of things. It’s fine. It’s fine.

It didn't take long for their will to break.

The God of Wisdom is called as such for a reason. Nahida may be younger compared to the rest, but she is braver than most. She simply tried to impart a fraction of her wisdom, softly suggesting to the Creator to show mercy for their people who were gravely punished for things they did not do.

This Creator was not you. They did not have a drop of patience that you had, nor any love for their creations. Their god saw this as nothing but an act of treason. How dare a mere Archon tell them what to do? She dares to question who the Creator can and cannot punish?

The silence is deafening in the throne room as the Creator calls for the death of Lesser Lord Kusanali and the destruction of Sumeru. If it is mercy she asks for then it is the last thing she and her people will receive. The other Archons agree past gritted teeth, the sin of Khaenri’ah weighing heavy over their shoulders still.

Nahida had been banished to Sumeru before the order was given, so the Archons make their way to the Nation of Wisdom to tell her of her sentencing, hoping to beg her to ask the Creator for their forgiveness.

This can't be how it ends. Are they to spend their lives in fear of the god they so revered?

They enter a forest emitting divine energy in search of their friend, hearts heavy, but they found something else.

They found you. They found the Creator they loved once upon a time.

They seemed to have caught you mid-conversation with Nahida, and to their surprise (and resentment) the Tsaritsa; they can only assume that the god of Snezhnaya has informed you first of Nahida's fate. The Wanderer catches sight of them and stands in front of you in protection. You don't even bat an eye. You swallow hard and stand, Nahida's hand enveloped in yours, and the other gods would be lying if they say they did not feel jealousy strangling their lungs.

With a steady voice, you tell them that should they take one step against Nahida, you will meet them halfway. If they decide to send Sumeru to hell, they will have to go through you first. You will do everything you can to stop them, and if Sumeru falls then you fall with them.

They don't have to look at the others to make up their mind. There's a beat of silence but first it's Morax, and Beelzebul and Barbatos and then Focalor, and they are on their knees, heads bowed low.

It is only right to show respect to their god, after all. How could they be so blind?

Validation of their actions comes soon after as you let go of Nahida's hand and tell the Wanderer to stand aside. You do something that tyrant of a Creator that sits on a glass throne would never - you kneel before them and hold out your hand.

"Why are you all kneeling? Stand up. I am no longer your god. But I hope you will have me as a friend. Will that be alright?"

There are tears in their eyes as they let out stuttering laughter. Yes, this is their god. Their god with so much love and compassion and a heart that does nothing but bleed for them. A heart that does not ask for them to bleed.

You are their god. You are their true Creator. Golden blood be damned. All that gold has done nothing but blind them.

Eventually, you all end up on the forest floor. You accept the role of a friend as promised, and catch up with them. The Archons are almost in tears as you listen to their stories earnestly, squeezing their hands in sympathy as you listen to the pain they've been through under the rule of their so called Creator (they really should find a new title for you, the god that sits on your throne has sullied your rightful name). At one point they stop telling you stories of their mistreatment, unable to see your face be any sadder than it already was. They take to retelling your stories together, reminiscing better days - because is that not what they have done all this time? Think about the lovely you for every wrongdoing the other god had done in your name?

As you laugh and smile with them and their stories and their company, the idea burrows through their mind without your knowledge, taking root, and they refuse to let it go. Wouldn't it be so much better if it was always like this? Seeing your smiling face with them, a person that deserves to be called a god even more so than all of them combined. Knowing you were safe from harm, not having to defend yourself, especially from them under orders from a tyrant. Knowing you loved them the way they loved you.

It was all better with you.

When you weren't looking, the Archons gave each other knowing looks and curt nods in understanding.

You are their beloved Creator.

As a peaceful silence falls over you, they watch as you smile sadly, their hearts breaking to see such an expression on your face. In a soft voice, you apologize for not being able to do much to help them. When you lift your head, golden resolute eyes meet yours.

"You’ve done enough, Your Grace. Let us handle the rest."

You may have laughed at the old title, but the Archons are hell bent in returning it to you. Although it hurts them to say goodbye, they know it’s only for the moment. Soon, you will be with them. Back in your rightful throne, as you have always deserved.

Nahida is the youngest, and so they decide to spare her the carnage. The rest know she is no fool, they don't need to tell her what they had planned for her to know what happens next. She does not fully agree in the others' decision, yet she stays in Sumeru, promising to make sure you do not find out. Word travels fast to the other vision holders in the form of a breeze from Barbatos. Barely anyone had disagreed with the notion of removing the rejected god from the throne, and those who were hesitant at first changed their mind after hearing how you were ready to go down with Sumeru. Morax and the Tsaritsa lead the rebellion.

A god is only as powerful as the people who worship them. By the time the Archons arrived in the throne room, the Creator had no one to hide behind.

They made it a spectacle. They spin a tale for the people that the god they so worshiped was an impostor who had switched bodies with their rightful god, which explains the gold blood that should be yours. They say you were patiently waiting for them all to come back to you, to remove this impostor from your throne. You were ready to accept them all, they just needed to get rid of this filth that dared destroy your name. The Creator - no, the Impostor - is horrified when the people accept this story so easily, but they only have themselves to blame. Who cares what they have to say to defend themselves, although it’s not like they can anyway - how can they when their tongue was cut off?

Teyvat was silent as gold painted the streets of Liyue Harbor. Teyvat no longer cares for golden blood, not after all the blood and tears it had taken from its people. After all, a golden soul stands ready to take back their rightful place.

Your followers thought it had all been worth it - the pain, the hardships, the blood - to see you smile the first time you set foot outside Sumeru after what felt like years to them. And yet, despite the joyous occasion, you hesitantly turn to them and ask a question not even Irminsul would answer you.

"What happened to the Creator?"

You would be lying if you said the soft smiles each of them gave did not unnerve you as they all said the same thing, like a joke everyone knew all except you.

"We simply removed the Impostor from Your Grace's presence."

They are thankful that you are blinded by your love for them to see the gold shine on their hands. You do not ask about the shimmering streets either. Liyue was the city of gold after all, was it not?

For now, their biggest concern is your acceptance that they are your equal, but that can easily be fixed. You are their friend now, but someday you’ll be their god again. Slowly but surely. They will sit you back in your throne. They will kneel before you again. They will give you the reverence you so deserved.

It will all be yours.

You're their wonderful Creator, after all. Maybe not to you right now. But you always have been for them.

They’ll start from calling you Your Grace. You’d be too kind to tell them off over and over.

You always had been good at adapting.

You had gotten used to it then, you’ll get used to it again.

Libby's Voice Headcannon.

I have a recurring joke that there is no one who hates that Dogday has the voice of Dr. Harley Sawyer than Dogday himself, but if I could visualize what Dogday's voice was like when he was still Libby…

But,If you want to look for a resemblance of what they would sound like before that, she would definitely sound similar to Sweetie belle from MLP: FiM.

The "plan b" or alternative voice, It would be similar to the voice of the young Tiana from The Princess and the Frog.

In any cases, Libby has all the hatred in the world for her "current" voice and has learned to modulate it so that it resembles that of the cartoon so as not to please the doctor in his attempt to deceive the little ones.

[If you've never seen MlP FiM, don't worry; I leave an audio so you can have an idea of what it would sound like.]
