Round 3, Match 3

M—'s Nun/Cristabel Oct (The Locked Tomb) vs Miss Clavel (Madeline)

Art of M—'s Nun by @franzias-cave

Poll Runner's Note: Miss Clavel had to look after 12 little girls but M—'s Nun had to deal with 16 grown adults (and two teen zombies).

M—'s Nun/Cristabel Oct

She was good with little kids and animais, She committed suicide , twice. Both of times out of devotion to the man she thought was God but the second time also perhaps out of lesbian love for her best friend - an atheist bioengineer who experimented on human bodies and had no qualms killing for that same man. She knows the protocol to follow to report miracles direct to the Vatican, she also knows how use a gun and later on learned how to fight with a sword and a chain as off hand like in the coliseum. She was described as lunatic, she helped fund a sect of a new religion, no one could hate her not even the brother of the man she made a suicide pact with.

------

Cristabel isn't best nun she's worst nun. Nobody is doing it like her. Nobody should do it like her. She sees someone hesitating and goes "is anyone else going to kill themselves to force that guy's hand" and doesn't even wait for an answer. She did this twice.

Miss Clavel

Miss Clavel takes regular care of 12 girls, and the neighboring ambassador's son (who has major issues). She is able to sense trauma in the girls even while asleep and saves one from appendicitis. She goes above and beyond, traveling across the country with her girls to support them when a grandparent dies. She never stops searching if one goes missing. She keeps their emotional well-being at the forefront, even when her school is threatened by snobby donors.

wake for the character game :)

omg yay<3

favorite thing about them: her sheer commitment to her cause. she went through the horror of impregnating herself with the sperm of what has to be the person she despises most in the universe and then carried that baby under her heart for nine months just for the long shot of being able to kill john. she stuck around for at least nineteen years as a revenant and stayed (more or less) sane just on the sheer force of her conviction. landmine people for real.

least favorite thing about them: she's dead :((

favorite line: how can i choose one. every single thing she says. banger after banger after banger. but i guess it has to be

THE ONLY THING OUR CIVILIZATION CAN EVER LEARN FROM YOURS IS THAT WHEN OUR BACKS ARE TO THE WALL AND OUR TOWERS ARE FALLING ALL AROUND US AND WE ARE WATCHING OURSELVES BURN WE RARELY BECOME HEROES.

made such an impact on me i named the server after it.

brOTP: well wake and pash obviously idk if that's a brOTP i just love the idea of auntie wake. otherwise gotta be wake and we suffer. in my head they either had a mentor/mentee situation or they had a relationship. maybe both. either way i imagine they were very close at one point.

OTP: wake/pyrrha/g1deon. i just know whatever she had going on with both of them was so crazy i need the prequel so bad. please tamsyn show me the gunplay.

nOTP: wake/john. literally what the fuck is wrong with you people.

random headcanon: the first thing that came to mind when i saw this is that wake put cigarettes out on pyrrha. this is like canon to me. more randomly i also imagine that she had a bad relationship with her mom but was close to her grandparents before they either died during the invasion of her home planet by the empire or got separated during resettlement.

unpopular opinion: she genuinely did nothing wrong. i would have killed that baby to open the tomb.

song i associate with them: thanks to lem's wake playlist, rex - brutus ii by the buttress. also raupatu by alien weaponry for obvious reasons.

favorite picture of them: franzia's art of wake was the very first fanart of wake i can remember seeing and really loving. her face her hair the fact that she's decking that skeleton. what could be more iconic

[therealvinelle]

I felt sad seeing that no one asked you about your master plan for your april fools joke post, so I'll ask.. what was the plan? how did you and muffin convincingly pretend to be two separate people?

(Anon is referring to this amazing April Fool's joke)

I'm so glad you (and a few others, after seeing my "woe nobody asked. woe!" post) asked!

So, rule one of making up an elaborate lie: what is already known? What can people find out on their own?

Well, @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin's ffnet account is older than mine. It's from 2008, Vinelle is from 2014 (accidental account creation, I thought I was reviewing anonymously. Ffnet said "so you wish to make an account"). It's the reverse with our tumblrs, my main belovedordos dates back to 2012 while theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin is only from 2015 or so.

Faithful followers will remember that the reason why Muffin created the account theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin in the first place was because someone had nabbed the url thecarnivorousmuffin, and this was creating confusion. Faithful followers will further remember that Vinelle's fanfiction career began with bizarre fanfics where Harry Potter is a deer.

How, then, to tie these together?

We decided on the following series of events:

In 2008, Muffin creates the account The Carnivorous Muffin on ffnet. A few years later she gets a tumblr, she keeps this separate from her fic profile. In 2015 however, she discovers she does actually need a tumblr. To keep the two separate, however (as tumblr will make it so your likes and follows come from your main, making it impossible to keep the two separate in any meaningful sense), she creates an entire new blog: theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin.

Meanwhile, in 2014, an accident led to her creating a second ffnet account, Vinelle. Hate when that happens, but it exists now and when she gets the really dumb idea to write really dumb fics where Harry is a deer, she posts it on that account instead of The Carnivorous Muffin (Longtime followers of Muffin will remember this was a time when people would ask "Can you write a Lily and the Art of Being Sisyphus fic where she meets deer!Harry?" if she had).

So, alright, Muffin now has a lot of accounts but that's fine, it's manageable. A main ffnet account, a shame account, both get imported to Ao3, a tumblr main, a tumblr for her fanfiction stuff, it's all good.

2020 comes around, and she starts posting metas on theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin because people are giving her asks. Life continues as usual otherwise.

Until in December 2020, when she is posting the first chapter of Nebuchadnezzar's Dream and she posts to the wrong account.

Ah hell.

She decides to go with it, however, if anything it'll be interesting to see if it gets any readers on its own considering the Vinelle account is a fandom nobody. As a nod to herself, she has Vinelle thank The Carnivorous Muffin for being such a good beta. Har har.

The comment section turns out to be a surprisingly chatty place, though, and...

She gets a horrible idea.

She's already pretending to be two people.

Why not take it further?

So she creates therealvinelle on tumblr.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

(With @franzias-cave having been called in, even, as thoughts about making them back us up on this were had.)

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

Imagine for a second the premise of Sword Art Online: VR game, everyone is stuck in it or their brain gets fried, etc.

Given that Carlisle Cullen couldn't kill himself by starvation... what if, say, Jane and Alec get stuck in the Death Game with a bunch of humans? Maybe we toss in Eleazar so that Aro can unplug someone and realise the brain-frying works on vampires (sorry Eleazar!)

Anyways what do you think that'd do to the Volturi and to Jane/Alec? If they had to cooperate with humans, do you think their attitude towards them would change? Or are they so hangry they're doomed?

I want to write the fic but first I want your take lol

Well, the Volturi try to hide that Jane and Alec are out of commission for as long as possible. When this is sooner or later exposed, we humans have a bloody and terrible time as vampires quickly build up what armies they can in order to overwhelm the Volturi with numbers now that they won't be swatted like flies by magic twins at a moment's notice.

The Volturi are very very busy waging wars against their enemy and keeping the secret in line.

As for Jane and Alec, they're having a time in a video game, I guess, I haven't seen this anime so I wouldn't know. I assume they're not vampires in the video game? If they are, they probably don't cooperate with humans, as they'd likely end up eating them and use their bullshit abilities to begin with to clear the game as quickly as possible (is that how this works for this one???)

More, given their background, I imagine they'd avoid relying on humans at all costs and not even really consider it as a serious option.

...

You really should write the fic here.

— O Basgiath War College dá as boas-vindas a ISAVELL YIN LYNCHEHAUN, uma PRIMEIRO ANO que mostrou-se disposta a desafiar o parapeito para incorporar o Riders Quadrant. Vinda da província de MORRAINE, ela possui VINTE E TRÊS anos, e foi recrutada para a SEGUNDA ASA, encontrando-se atualmente na SEÇÃO CHAMA e fazendo parte do 1º ESQUADRÃO. Esperamos que algum dragão reconheça que é LEAL e CÍNICA, ou esse cavaleiro estará morto.

HABILIDADES NOTÓRIAS: Capaz de usar o peso e força do oponente contra ele mesmo, é nesse contexto em que suas habilidades se destacam. A velocidade e flexibilidade atreladas à arte marcial que ataca pontos de pressão sobre o corpo humano fazem de Isavell uma ótima combatente no corpo-a-corpo. Quando esses pontos específicos sofrem um golpe certeiro, os efeitos podem ser desde atordoante e/ou imobilizantes até mortais. Isavell ainda não sabe utilizar dessa arte para fazer vítimas fatais, mas acredita ser capaz de ainda evoluir a esse nível.

ARMA DE PREFERÊNCIA: Sabre, espada de meia lua e arco e flecha. 

DRAGÃO (se já estiver vinculado): Não vinculado.

SINETE (se já manifestado): Não manifestado.

Criada para ser uma boa mãe e uma lady em tempo integral, Isavell era curiosa e ativa demais para o gosto da família e dos tutores particulares. Questionava quando devia acatar, e mesmo que fosse extremamente graciosa como o exigido, seu cinismo quando revelado era assustador. Era capaz de mentir com a cara mais deslavada do mundo, e não foi apenas uma vez que ouviu a mãe sussurrar preocupada sobre como a menina parecia com o pai. Como podia? Nunca tiveram o menor contato, e lá estava ele, surgindo por detrás da superfície do rostinho angelical da pequena Isavell. 

A adolescência fora difícil. Diante de qualquer pergunta sobre o homem, sua mãe até disfarçava mas franzia o cenho. Tudo que dizia é que ele foi alguém complicado, e que havia morrido em combate em cima de um dragão. Ficava irritada com a insistência e desobediência que ela mostrava. Então, Isavell não contou para a mãe sua vontade (e a esse ponto, já total certeza) de ir atrás do caminho do pai. Onde ele pisou, ela iria pisar. Se ele voou em um dragão, ela também o faria. Deu um jeito de exigir do tutor de dança tradicional que a ensinasse a arte marcial de seus antepassados em comum, algo que ela já havia deixado escapar acreditando que seria uma informação curiosa e inofensiva para uma menina que gostava de ouvir histórias. Esqueceu-se que essa gostava também de saber de tudo, e registrava na mente. 

Tendo a ponte que o dinheiro pode garantir até tudo que se quer quando se tem, chegar até o dia de ser cadete não foi a pior parte. Foi entender que teria de abrir mão de tudo que tinha. Fazer uma trouxa e partir no meio da noite. A lealdade consigo mesma e sua vontade de entender de onde vinha aquele que temiam ver quando se revelava nela. Seu pai, o cavaleiro de dragão, o homem forte que conquistou a frieza de sua mãe, que dera metade do que ela era. Não era justo conhecer só a outra parte. Fora árduo manter uma máscara de boa garota, ainda que tenha sido só o mínimo do que exigiam dela. Agora não era hora de pôr tudo a perder, ela tinha uma história para descobrir.

Rating: M

Summary:

Two stories, seven years apart, and the moment that joins them.

When Coronabeth is fourteen years old, her mother kills herself.

Now first in line for the throne, feeling exposed and unmoored, grappling with her grief, her sense of self, and her increasingly unstable sister, Coronabeth convinces Naberius to teach her how to sword fight. This is how the story begins.

When Coronabeth is twenty-one years old, she watches her sister kill their brother.

Coronabeth, abandoned, powerless, and hopeless, must do her best to survive alongside Camilla Hect and Judith Deuteros in the wake of the deaths and betrayals of the people closest to them in an empty, crumbling Canaan House. This is how the story begins again.

she HATED the sexy parties!!!!

[yary-t]

#dream only uses his money for 2 things: eccentric art supplies and clothes#he's painting with gold leaf while drinking franzia straight from the box etc#he also buys extremely expensive clothes bc he hates shitty fabric#desire is constantly teasing him like 'how are you wearing balenciaga living in a hovel'

(cuubism's tags)

just read your tax benefita marriage thing and had this sudden image of the older endless (destiny and death and maybe destruction) pulling dream as ide to ask if he at least got a prenup & dream, in all his infinite wisdom, going 'what's a prenup?'

Dream: well frankly I think it's fine if Hob gets half my inheritance, he deserves it :)

The rest of the endless: 😶

Death: dream you're going to be paying alimony for the rest of your life

Dream: first of all, we're not getting divorced, so jot that down. Secondly (*slurping instant ramen out of a cup while sitting on the falling apart couch he and hob definitely picked up on the side of the road) I'm clearly not using it.

-

Hob after he finds out: just so you know, if we ever get divorced I AM taking you for all your worth in court

Dream: I'll sign whatever you want idc

Hob: ....

Dream: also we're not getting divorced :) because you love me

Hob: yeah unfortunately I do

Dream: (was joking) what.

Quarterfinals Match 2

M—'s Nun/Cristabel Oct (The Locked Tomb) vs Sister Beatrice (Warrior Nun)

Art of M—'s Nun by @franzias-cave

Sister Beatrice is a secret Demon-Fighting Warrior Nun of the Order of the Cruciform Sword.

M—'s Nun/Cristabel Oct

She was good with little kids and animais, She committed suicide , twice. Both of times out of devotion to the man she thought was God but the second time also perhaps out of lesbian love for her best friend - an atheist bioengineer who experimented on human bodies and had no qualms killing for that same man. She knows the protocol to follow to report miracles direct to the Vatican, she also knows how use a gun and later on learned how to fight with a sword and a chain as off hand like in the coliseum. She was described as lunatic, she helped fund a sect of a new religion, no one could hate her not even the brother of the man she made a suicide pact with.

------

Cristabel isn't best nun she's worst nun. Nobody is doing it like her. Nobody should do it like her. She sees someone hesitating and goes "is anyone else going to kill themselves to force that guy's hand" and doesn't even wait for an answer. She did this twice.

Sister Beatrice

No propaganda submitted.

[g1deonthefirst]

Hello! Mercymorn for the character game!

favorite thing about them: as with aim i ADORE the way mercymorn talks, her dialogue is so distinctive and makes her so deeply enjoyable to read. also i love how unapologetically unpleasant she is, i feel like female characters are so rarely written that way. oh also the fact that she killed john.

least favorite thing about them: for sure the spending nearly 10,000 years upholding john's empire. i know i know women can't do anything. also the way she and augustine both treat g1deon. also the fact that i can't say her name with my midwestern american accent without it sounding awful.

favorite line: "'Children as fists! Infants as gestures! Yuck! Pfaugh! I live in the worst of all possible worlds!"

brOTP: hmm. mercymorn fr does not have many friends it is sort of a key part of her character. maybe mercymorn and nigella since she called her pretty iirc maybe they got along.

OTP: mercymorn/cristabel because i think they had some insanely repressed lesbian situationship going on but runner up mercymorn/augustine because their whole weve hated each other too long and too passionately to stop deal makes me feel like chewing drywall.

nOTP: honestly im not a mercymorn/wake shooter i just cant see it im so sorry

random headcanon: i imagine that m— and a— also had a weird situationship pre-res like they were hatefucking and john wasn't even aware of it.

unpopular opinion: this is really only unpopular in the circles that i refuse to be in but i think that mercymorn's attitude and personality are deeply informed by her enduring 10,000 years of both structural and very direct misogyny and frankly being coerced into sexual situations like dios apate minor and the sex parties and you fundamentally can't understand her as a character unless you take that into account. also i think the "she's a bitch and i love her so much" john mulaney-esque jokes are so fucking annoying and genuinely misogynistic.

song i associate with them: bad believer by st. vincent. just a very lyctor-betraying-god song to me in general.

favorite picture of them: this is so difficult there are so many amazing mercymorns. i think composition-wise im a really big fan of this one, in terms of mercymorns that look like she could walk right out of the art and start talking i love franzia's pre-res m— , and it's not really how i imagine her but in terms of hottest mercymorn it's obviously this one.

couldn’t resist 

so i'm cosplaying griddle at some point for halloween, but before i dye my hair orange i HAD to do a little test for harrow here u are
