Giving Blood (NSFW) FT Yel

Author’s note: Well it took me a while but here she is my most requested idol. There is no smut in this chapter, just two dorks meeting for the first time.

Riku sat alone in his home after Eunha left, the echoes of their conversation lingering in the air. He repeatedly opened and closed his fist, feeling the muscle tension with each movement. A dull drumming pounded through his skull, the rhythmic thud matching the beat of his heavy heart. He tried to meditate, drawing upon the breathing techniques the Vanguard had taught him, but neither brought him any solace. He needed something faster-paced to keep up with his turbulent emotions.

As he donned his armor, preparing for some late-night Gambit, a specific weapon called to him. The Tarrabah, with its fierce energy, seemed to resonate with his current state of mind. He went into his vault and retrieved the ravenous beast.

Like a bear starved, Riku tore through his opponents. Each encounter was a blur of motion and fury, his actions driven by an inner tempest. During his last match of Trials, he pushed for the win without firing a single bullet, relying solely on his fists and raw power.

After the final game, his communicator beeped with an incoming call from Zavala. "Guardian, we have discovered something on Nessus that needs your attention," Zavala's voice was calm but urgent.

Riku held his breath before exhaling deeply. His fist clenched tightly around The Tarrabah. He needed a distraction, something to channel his restless energy. Finishing his Exile armor set, he headed to his ship, his mind already shifting focus to the mission ahead.

As the ship ascended through the atmosphere, leaving Earth behind, Riku monitored the gauges and tools with a practiced eye. His Ghost, Sashimi, hovered nearby, her light flickering with concern.

"Riku, are you okay?" Sashimi's voice was soft, filled with worry.

Riku's response was a simple, "No."

Sashimi's light dimmed slightly, reflecting her uncertainty. "Do you want to talk about it?" she asked tentatively.

Riku shook his head, his eyes fixed on the stars ahead.

Unsure how to process Riku's response, Sashimi hovered in silence, her presence a quiet support. The ship's engines hummed steadily, a constant backdrop to the storm of emotions swirling within Riku. He clicked his tongue against his bottom lip, the small, repetitive motion a grounding mechanism amid his chaos. As Nessus came into view he was joined by Rei and Delindrin.

"Hello Crasilior," he said smugly. Riku stopped for a moment, turned to him, clenched his fist then unclenched it before moving on silently. Sashimi and Delindrin's ghost Arrow watched with a bated glint. The trio investigated the anomaly on Nessus in relative silence.

afterward, the Trio flew to the helm to report their findings. When the trio arrived at the HELM to report to Saint-14 and Osiris, Riku remained silent. Delindrin and Rei, the Awoken warlock, attempted to prompt the Titan to speak, but he remained tight-lipped. After the report, Sashimi, his Ghost, had enough.

“Riku, what’s wrong?” she demanded, her voice tinged with frustration. Sashimi, much like her Guardian, was exceptionally stubborn, and his continued silence was unacceptable.

Delindrin, not grasping the gravity of the situation, smirked. “What kind of name is Riku? Is that supposed to be your name, Crasilior?” Riku took a shallow breath before grabbing Delindrin suddenly by the collar, slamming him into the ground with a force that dented the floor. Rei quickly reacted with a penumbral blast, trying to “cool him off,” but the effect was nullified by the Path of the Burning Steps armor he wore. Breaking free from the stasis, Riku glanced at Osiris and Saint-14. “I’ll be back later,” he muttered before storming out.

Back at his home, Riku changed and showered, trying to calm the storm within. Sashimi floated nearby, glaring at him. As Riku struggled to steady his racing heart, the memories of the past few days piled onto the bonfire raging inside him. Instead of succumbing to his turmoil, he decided to visit his friend Miso’s shop. Hopping onto his Sparrow, he rode through the city, feeling the cool night air slowly temper his inner heat. Upon arrival, Miso-1 greeted him warmly. “Ah, Crash, good to see you. Here for your usual?”

Riku nodded, managing a weak smile. “One of those days, huh? Well, you’re in luck—I’ve got my new soda in stock.” Riku sat down, the familiar environment slowly easing his tension. “How’s Ning?” he asked after a while.

“Oh, you know, still fighting the good fight with her rotating fire team of Aeri, Yu, and Minjeong. Heard from Rei you almost killed Delindrin today,” Miso said, half-joking.

Riku shifted uncomfortably. “Just processing everything. It's been a whirlwind the past week, and I'm picking up the pieces.”

Miso nodded, understanding. “I figured. Entering the Pale Heart, defeating a facet of the Witness, then sneaking onto the Monolith before facing him again—it was pretty bleak at times. I’m barely holding on to myself, but Yizuo’s been helping me stay together.”

Miso’s words were comforting, but he probed deeper. “But I’m surprised the ‘lone wall that evil breaks on’ is tougher than that. So, what’s eating at you?”

“Eunha told me she had feelings for me but couldn’t be with me because I was too ‘safe.’ At least, that’s how I perceived it. Her words were confusing. Is that about right, Shimi?”

Sashimi appeared, replaying the conversation for Miso-1 before nodding.

“That seems like an appropriate assessment.”

Miso laughed softly, but before he could respond, the door opened. In walked a statuesque woman, her steps hesitant, eyes darting around the almost empty restaurant. Riku noticed her and watched her move awkwardly.

“Oi, you gorgeous! Come over here; you reek of New Light,” he called out. The Guardian looked at Riku, initially scared, but his confidence and smile reassured her. She approached and sat next to the Awoken.

“Sorry for my Titan’s manners. His name is Crash, and mine is Miso-1. Nice to meet you.”

“Eunha finally gave me a real name—Riku. But yeah, you can call me Riku or Crash,” he said, turning to the newcomer with a smile.

She beamed. “My name is Shinyoung, but call me Yel. I am a Warlock.” Her voice was tinged with anxiety.

Riku’s expression softened. He gestured to Miso, who brought another bowl. Pouring half of his meal into it, he handed it to Yel. “Sit with us,” he offered. She took a set next to him and noticed his ghost floating at the edge. its movements seemed pensive as if desperate to say something

“So Mrs Yel how did you find my shop?” Miso asks intrigued.

“Oh um, a hunter by the name of Eunha told me I could get help here. I wanted to learn how to be a better guardian,” Yel said timidly. Miso turned to his friend and smiled. Riku groaned and shook his head.

“Come Crash on you are the best new light teacher. Half of us wouldn't be as far as we are without you. No one can translate power at every level to make a guardian shine like you.”

Yel watched with a happy smile, as the other two guardians went back and forth. While they talked she noticed Riku/Crash’s body language was open and free but his movements seemed guarded and very deliberate in their displays. She watched until Crash said “Fine,” and turned to her. Yel put on a smile that twitched nervously at the corners. Riku’s heart softened more towards her. So first step as a guardian is to determine a reachable goal. Otherwise, you'll get overwhelmed and burn out. So what is going to be your first goal.”

Yel thought for a moment then said, “I want to build a great daybreak build,” Crash turned with open hands towards Miso but Miso shook his head. Crash groans and then turns to Yel

“Okay but we do this my way,” he says coldly

Early the next day Riku is heading toward Yel’s place for some reason his heart races with excitement. Before arriving Sashimi notices his vitals and says, “You have a crush on The New Light,” her tone is teasing but well-meaning. Riku looks at his ghost,

“No, I… Uh… shut up.” Riku stammered

“Why are you being Bashful? It's a natural response. By all records, she is a stunning individual,” Sashimi said. Riku glared at his ghost as they neared her home it was a small apartment in the last city. The same one they funnel most new lights into for the first year or so. As the guardian and ghost went looking for her door Yel Saw them and busted out in full Combat armor minus the helmet. Crash laughed seeing her kitted out in blue armor while he was in his civilian clothes, with his armor neatly packed into his duffle bag.

Yel looked at Riku confused. “Wait Why aren't you dressed?” she asked as her head tilted to the right.

“Because we don't know what the first activity we are going to do will be so I didn't want to get in my armor before I needed to. Ya know mine is much heavier and all.” Yell made the mistake of rolling her eyes.

“Oh really you don't believe me here hold this,” Riku said as he handed his hazardous propulsion to Yel. When he let go of it quickly made its heft known as it took her both arms and all of her strength not to drop it.

“Why is it so heavy?” Yel asked strained before Riku took it off her hands.

“I mean with a name like heavy armor what did you expect?” Riku teased. Yel scowled before laughing. Riku was already laughing as he said, “The first rule of being a guardian is knowing when to laugh. Times will get tough and keeping your internal morale up will stop you from getting discouraged.

“Okay, you got me there. So what's the plan then.”

“Well, that depends on you. Do you want me to watch you and your style or do you want me to work with you?”

Yel decided to have Riku watch her first. She did 3 rounds of crucible and 3 rounds of Gambit. Riku watched everything. Yel’s overall style was elegant and aggressive like watching a female tiger stalk its prey and pounce, with ferocity that was equal parts mesmerizing and terrifying. She lacked restraint on her abilities though. She spammed them as much as she could which Riku noticed as a space for improvement, along with peripheral awareness and sliding, but other than that she was mostly a natural fighter. She moved with the grace of a trained dancer as well.

After that, she wanted to do some armor updates (she now has a full set of legendary armor) and decrypt her exotic engrams. While she was decrypting Crash gathered some snacks and drinks before getting his armor mod tools to help her. While he was gone Yel felt a weird feeling in her stomach. Her ghost appeared noticing the change in her vitals

“Your vitals show that you are agitated what is it Yel?”

“Uh I just want Crash back here, but I don't know why?” she said as she twirled her hair.

“You are comfortable with him,” her ghost noted.

“Is there a problem with that?” she said to her ghost. She felt a weird pang of aggression that she couldn't place.

“No just curious. You two seem very similar at first glance,” her ghost responded.

Yel turned to her ghost, “Really?” she asked.

Yel turned to her ghost, “Really?” she asked.

“I read up on his files and it seems he is quite the competent guardian, something I think you'll grow into as well. The major similarities lie mainly in both of your approaches to combat. His style seems to be very much about over-the-top speed and ferocity whereas yours is more elegant." Her ghost said, but before he could say much else Riku came back with snacks and drinks. He handed Yel hers.

Yel smiled as she received hers, "Thanks Crash, or should I say Riku?" she said excitedly

Riku smiled back with a small glint in his eye, "Honestly Either is fine since they are essentially interchangeable."

Yel laughed before responding, "Oh okay then I'll probably switch between them then."

Riku shrugged as he said, "Works for me. Oh look your first exotic is ready."

Yel beamed as she walked over to the Cryptarch.

"Okay let's see the roll," Riku said as he handed Yel her Wings of the Sacred Dawn. Riku noticed a smirk from Cryptarch as he did so. Riku looked over yell as she read the stats and almost passed out.

The perfect big sister! <3

Ft. my "Toga Himiko is a Bonesaw" take under the cut:

I'm not very familiar with the superhero genre beyond Worm and MHA, so I might be missing a pre-existing trope - but I think these two share an archetype: Little Girl Villain who juxtaposes extremely gory, visceral acts with a happy and innocent demeanour. Their villain personas epitomise idealised archetypes of girlhood; frilly-dress-and-tea-party '50s little-girl for Bonesaw, and lovesick tween schoolgirl for Toga. These archetypes are anchored to a specific age - the age they were when they lost the chance at a civilian life.

On that note, neither of them got much choice in life, with Toga branded a villain for her Quirk and Bonesaw groomed into villainy by Jack. They both lost their families, and seek a surrogate family in their villain group, whose goal is (ostensibly) mindless destruction.

Is it any wonder that they're frozen in stasis at the age when they were traumatized? I find it interesting that they're both older than their archetypes (Bonesaw, at 12, is pretty much the age of Toga's archetype!) but are unable to move past these personas.

smth smth reblog for larger sample size

[antirepurp]

time for me to be obnoxious about an april fool's game at almost may wahoo ft. an unexpected moment of character analysis because i have no chill

TRAIN.

i hope this game is canon because rouge doing petty pickpocketing is my favorite thing actually

he has a wallet? and a home?

i could go on about how much i love these kids being unhinged and chaotic but unless i want to reblog this post a million times i have to cut it down. let it be known that i adore the kids and their antics tho

you know what i also adore? blaze committing crimes in the chaos dimension because she can get away with it. i think i need more of that in my life actually

although right after he says he doesn't wanna do more crimes i'd like to think he grows out of that opinion eventually. let the little guy steal stuff i want him to hang with rouge and have her make him worse actually

look here shadow's had it rough in the writing department for a while but i very much appreciated this plot point of him going out of his way to get concert tickets for amy and even (reluctantly) agreeing to go with her to said concert even if it isn't his cup of tea. i know it's more presented as him trying to y'know be polite and considerate and he's going about it in an edgy way but i'd like to think it's just his way of presenting things if you will? like he know what amy's favorite band is and sees how hard the tickets are to get so he goes out of his way to get them because he cares about his friend and knows how much attending a concert like that would mean to amy. and in terms of this screenshot in particular i also appreciate amy appreciating her friends' presence at her party even if they hadn't gotten her anything! sure it does kinda come across as her being bummed about not getting gifts from them and maybe she is but i think that's okay? like she's 12 (or 13 now i guess?) getting excited about presents is pretty normal, and it's not like she's super upset about it anyway. i think she genuinely appreciates her friends attending her party more than anything

i also found this a lovely little detail lol and it does kinda make sense! the bitch has been in stasis for 50 years and computer technology has taken leaps in that time, of course he'd be a lil rustier with them compared to his peers

more on shadow, this guy's brain goes overdrive the second he realizes he fucked up and needs to get something nice for his friend now. like i don't have the brain power to form it into words atm but i just love what this all says about him as a character!!

i could flail about the art in this game the whole evening honestly it's so lovely and colorful and pretty and i love how this scene is composed and shadow being seated on the windowsill idk this just put a big smile on my face when i saw it :)

frankly obsessed with amy's unhinged energy can we please get more of this bc i live for it

the fucking blowdart. i cannot tell you how fucking off the walls these teens are like espio's instructed to use a blowdart on sonic with non-lethal poison and he's like yeah that checks out and sonic's just like wow cool guess i'll snooze for a bit then like this shit is exactly why teenagers should be given superpowers and be put into Situations(TM) i love it

not an april fools game making me emotional over trains

and why yes i am obsessed obviously

it was a fun game! like tbh with a bit more content i would've been happy to pay a bit for this honestly (like. when im not broke lmao) like it's so charming and there were a lot of fun details and the jokes were enjoyable too. i just think it's neat :)

but yea that is all im glad sonic the hedgehog got murdered it was a great time

Hadrinnex

Image © Paizo Publishing, accessed at Archives of Nethys here

[One of my closest conversions with PFRPG 2nd edition. Basically, I just adjusted some numbers down to 1e standards. I also changed the default energy and damage types that it was resisting to better fit the image--the default hadrinnex deals bludgeoning damage and is charged with sonic energy, but this image shows it with a piercing arm and much more of a fiery interior.]

Hadrinnex CR 8 NE Aberration This creature is vaguely humanoid, with a metallic carapace weaving and shifting over its luminous thorax. Its arms are shaped like weapons, and only a cluster of eyes indicates which side of its head is the face.

The hadrinnexes are strange creatures that act more as living defense systems than as full fledged organisms. Whoever first created them is unknown, but they obey aberrations with little question, and have been found in the service of the Dominion of the Black, the aboleths, and other rarer entities (such as neogi, mind flayers and zern). They have little ability to think for themselves, but are adept in performing tasks in hazardous environments. A hadrinnex’s body reconfigures to defend itself from both physical and energy damage, and can then release that energy against any threat.

Fighting a hadrinnex is a difficult affair, as the monster will become protected from different damage types as the battle progresses. Once their carapaces are configured, a hadrinnex will usually leave it be, unless it is fighting with multiple enemies dealing multiple damage types. Its energy gland, however, changes rapidly—the hadrinnex can keep a single energy type configured in order to be protected from it and shoot rays of energy, or can vent that energy into either a breath weapon-like cone, or to limn its natural weapons. If multiple hadrinnexes are fighting together, they will often sync energy types so that one can vent it onto enemies that are pinned down in melee by the other.

Although a hadrinnex needs to eat and breathe, it can consume just about any organic matter, and can put itself into a state of hibernation where it is little more than a lifeless mineral. In stasis, the hadrinnexes can be transported underwater or through space.  Entering this stage takes 1 full week, but emerging from it can take as long as two months. Regularly feeding the same type of energy damage into the hadrinnex’s energy gland reduces the transition to 1 week, and constant exposure to powerful energy effects (like leaving it on the Plane of Fire or in an active volcano) reduces this time further to 1 day.

A hadrinnex stands about 9 feet tall. Their limbs can stretch to that length again if the creature is ordered to extend them.

Hadrinnex          CR 8 XP 4,800 NE Large aberration Init +4; Senses darkvision 60 ft., Perception +13 Defense AC 22, touch 13, flat-footed 18 (-1 size, +4 Dex, +9 natural) hp 94 (9d8+54) Fort +11, Ref +9, Will +11 DR 15/bludgeoning or slashing; Resist fire 30 Defensive Abilities rapid evolution Offense Speed 40 ft. Melee 2 morphic weapons +12 (1d8+6 piercing/19-20) Ranged energy ray +9 touch (5d6 fire) Space 10 ft.; Reach 10 ft. Special Abilities vent energy Statistics Str 23, Dex 18, Con 23, Int 4, Wis 17, Cha 4 Feats Combat Reflexes, Great Fortitude, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Lunge (B), Weapon Focus (morphic weapon) Skills Acrobatics +9 (+13 jumping), Climb +10, Knowledge (dungeoneering) +6, Perception +13, Swim +10; Racial Modifiers +4 Knowledge (dungeoneering), +4 Perception Languages Aklo, touch telepathy Ecology Environment any land or underground Organization solitary, pair or patrol (3-6) Treasure none Special Abilities Energy Ray (Su) As a standard action, a hadrinnex can fire energy as a ranged touch attack with 120 foot range and no range increment. A creature struck takes 5d6 points of damage of the type that the hadrinnex’s rapid evolution is attuned to. Morphic Weapons (Ex) A hadrinnex’s morphic weapons are treated as primary natural weapons that deal bludgeoning, slashing or piercing damage, as determined by the hadrinnex’s rapid evolution. When the hadrinnex deals bludgeoning damage, its morphic weapons gain the push universal monster ability (5 ft.). When it deals slashing damage, its morphic weapons gain the trip universal monster ability. When it deals piercing damage, its morphic weapons threaten a critical hit on a roll of 19-20. Rapid Evolution (Ex) As an immediate action once per round, a hadrinnex can reconfigure its defenses to its current situation. It can change its husk or its energy gland, each with the following effects: Husk: The hadrinnex gains DR 15 against one type of physical damage (bludgeoning, slashing or piercing). Its morphic weapons configure to deal the type of damage it resists. By removing its DR, it can replace its morphic weapons with hands with prehensile thumbs. Energy Gland: The hadrinnex gains energy resistance 30 against one of the following energy types—acid, cold, electricity, fire, force, negative, sonic. Its energy ray deals that type of damage.

A hadrinnex can only configure either its husk or gland to protect against a type of damage that the hadrinnex has taken in the last round. Once configured, the husk remains in that shape until the hadrinnex configures it again. Once configured, the energy gland remains charged with that energy until the hadrinnex uses its vent energy ability, or until it reconfigures its gland. Touch Telepathy (Su) A hadrinnex can telepathically communicate with any creature that has a language, as long as it is touching that creature. Vent Energy (Su) A hadrinnex can vent its energy gland as a standard action once every 1d4 rounds, having one of the two following effects: Blast: The hadrinnex creates a 30 foot cone that deals 8d6 damage of the appropriate energy type (Reflex DC 20). Charge: The hadrinnex’s morphic weapons deal +2d6 damage of that energy type for the next minute. Once it has vented its energy gland, the hadrinnex loses all energy resistance conveyed by its gland. It can gain the same resistance, or a different type, using its rapid evolution ability. If a hadrinnex’s weapons are charged with an energy type, using vent energy again to charge its weapons replaces the energy type they deal.

Have you ever considered...Alternate False Twins? King is separated from his siblings at a young age and taken to another facility. He is implanted with a mega stone. Spot and Berry are rescued when Delia fears they'll be discarded after their newer "better" clones are completed. Delia flees with them, destroying the lab and the living weapons they were working on, but unknown to her, three survive. Two comatose and one conscious. The youngest vows revenge and continues searching for ways to save her brothers from their stasis....Meanwhile Delia is struggling to raise two rowdy mews, eventually running into a third, a larger one that managed to escape the hellish experiments on it's own. She accepts him and gives him a name suited for one so strong and loyal.

Funnily enough, its very very close to the reverse FT AU

God i have too many of them so let me right down the What ifs of this AU so yall now

False Twin - Original, very good

Maturity Swap - Peach is the baby while the Boys are Kids, Spot and Berry are the Shadowfied Mews while King is in a Coma

False Mama - Delia and Damien are Mewtwos whereas Ash, Indigo, Peach, Berry, Spot and King are human kiddos

False Mew - Ash, Peach and Indigo are all Fused Mews whereas Spot Berry and King are Mewtwos

Reverse FT- Ash Peach and Indigo are all Normal Mews and Spot, Berry and King are Fused Twos.

I need assistance XD

Rainmaker

⛈️Scared of everything. Even screamed when she saw her first stalker

⛈️Refuses to explore at night because it scares her

🚦LOVES base building. A little too much maybe?

🚦He especially likes doing it on creative mode where he's not restrained by power or hull integrity

🚦Still is the guy who builds a massive base in survival mode and like CONSTANTLY expands it even though it's already like a quarter the size of the biome

🚦Completely disorganized storage rooms

🎹LOVES the audio and the ambience of the game, it's super immersive for him

🎹Not necessarily scared of Leviathans, but he's had some jumpscare moments with them

🎹He's the kind of guy to set his Cyclops on fire just to listen to Abandon Ship

🎹Loves exploring and just wandering around since the game is SO immersive for him

Plutocrat

🌑Doesn't really know how to play games, so he gets frustrated pretty quickly because he can't figure out how to do what he wants to do

🌑Starts thinking about a realistic survival scenario and often tries to solve problems that aren't even in the game {such at the bends, keeping skin dry, ETC}

🌑Doesn't care much for the story until he does after it FINALLY catches his interest like halfway through

🪵Genuinely thinks if he had Kharaa that he'd essentially be able to just walk it off

🪚Who let this man play a horror game?

🪚Well, he's gonna be plenty traumatized by it

🪚He likes the peace and quiet of the safer biomes and will probably just sit with an observatory and vibe, but the sounds of aggressive fauna scares him a lot

Featherbedder

💤Falls asleep at the keyboard a lot

💤Even if it's high intensity like a Reaper chase, they will just. Suddenly fall asleep

💤The Cove Tree makes her especially sleepy though

💤Not really scared of anything and finds the story very interesting, just finds it difficult to sit through a gaming session without falling asleep

👟Tries to beat the game as quickly as possible

👟"I'm not scared of Reapers!" 10 seconds later... "AHHH!!! FLINT THERE'S A REAPER CHASING ME!!!"

👟VERY dramatic about EVERY encounter. Example: "And then the Bonesharks started swarming and chasing me and biting my Seamoth! I was able to scan the Cyclops Engine Fragments and get away by just barely!" and all that happened was a single Boneshark bit his Seamoth and then swam away.

👟Example B: He'll see a Reaper in the corner of the screen swimwing away, he leaves, and then will try to describe it like this:

thinking of more ridiculous horrible exorcists ideas i would never write

like

one of those fancy banquets where natori happens to drink poisoned tea (maybe by mistake, maybe on purpose when someone targeted him) because someone of a high ranking exorcist clan had offered it to him and also it happens to be in a distant mansion somewhere in the mountains

and idk one of natori's shiki shows up to glare judgmentally at matoba for help

and matoba seiji draws out a knife immediately and like

draws a seal ft his own blood over natori's skin to hold the poison in stasis

and while he does keep some vials of antidotes on him as normal precautions they're not having any effect on natori's poison

so it's off to the races with a masked clan head matoba seiji sweeping thru the party with a lethal, smiling ice-cold aura rage to find the culprit before time runs out

and the longer it takes him to find the antidote, there would be a backlash from the seal where some of the poison's effects will hit his own body instead, since he's holding it off from affecting natori

(he stumbles, at one point running thru past several high stairs; he refuses to acknowledge his sight blurring as he raises his nocked bow at an enemy shiki sent to rush towards him face on; the taste of salt and rust rising in his throat ) and Of Course when matoba seiji does find the culprit, the culprit expresses surprise that the feared head of the matoba clan head would care about what would happen to a small fry like natori ('my reasons are my own. do you expect the head of the matoba clan to deign to answer such useless curiosity from you?' )

and of course the antidote could only be fed mouth to mouth do u think im an amateur

Hot rod: :) wow I can't wait for how wonderful this world is!!!! ;p

*the war restarts*

Rodimus: :( can we go back? I want my big siblings back :(

Optimus sacrificing himself to keep Megs, Lita and Bee out of the war is such an Optimus move gods I love him but also you fool! You Primus damned fool! Stop dying!

So run down for what's happening with terrans

Thrash - Prime and leader of autobots 2.0 (I'll figure out a name)

Twitch - Warlord and leader of Decepticons 2.0 (I'll figure out a name)

Hashtag - neutral and in Twiches prison (ft. Starscream)

Nightshade - disappeared in the woods being a crypid, they want to be left alone however I highly doubt their siblings are going to let it remain that way

Jawbreaker - with the autobots 2.0 and supporting Thrash and helping to raise Hotrod

Hotrod - baby in the autobots, how horribly will he be traumatized?

Older bots

Optimus- dead (he'll be back don't worry)

Megatron- Stasis

Elita - Stasis

Bumblebee- Stasis

Breakdown - Cons 2.0

Starscream - Cons prison with Hashtag

Novastorm and Skywarp - cons 2.0

Grimlock - Bots 2.0

Swindle - Cons 2.0

You get the idea

I don't know what to do with Wheeljack on one hand autobot on the other hand Twitch, should he follow his mentee or should he stay with the autobots?

Ddgdss exactly. Exactly. Roddie's gets to have an existential crisis now, and I doubt he's the only non-maltobot Terran feeling like this.

It is right????

So far makes sense makes sense

If Wheeljack follows his mentee that'd mean he ends up with the cons 2.0 which would be interesting (in general it would be interesting to see who started out as a bot/con but ends up joining the cons-2.0/bots-2.0 instead this time around). Mmmnn but the angst of him being part of the autobots 2.0 but this time with ~extra angst~

Whos skid? (And claire)

an old oc! I actually first came up with Skid in middle school, though they are Wildly different from that first iteration lol. The general idea is that Skid is a 2000 year old human made demon ie they come from earth. Which makes them a loophole case where humans aren't legally allowed to boot them from the planet.

They were sort of magically enslaved by this evil witch for a couple centuries up until meeting Claire. Claire had this deadly illness that was slowly eating away at her and so the two made this deal where Skid basically gets to live and care for Claire's body for as long as it takes to find a cure for her illness, keeping Claire in a sort of stasis all the while, so she isn't actively aging or growing nor is her illness getting worse. What did skid get out of this deal? A way out of their contract with the evil murder witch. It's a win win.

Also a big part of the story is this back and forth that angels and demons have over who has the right to colonize earth, basically lol. And Angels currently have the upper hand as they ran a smear campaign against demons ages ago and used capitalism to start putting down roots, such as this Really Important organization that's employed by (though not ran by) the government in order to deal with supernatural and magical issues.

Skid likes playing detective though and as a part of their "community service" they wind up as a lackey for said Angel organization. Along the way they happen to adopt a lot of down on their luck magic orphans(sometimes literally other times its more emotionally).

And also there's some fun little twists and turns with Skid's past coming back to haunt them. And one day I'll turn this into a comic or something, hopefully,, one day,,,,

have some fun lil skid drawings ft Eliza(skid's adopted daughter) as a baby and also some plot relevant Angel characters

He/they

Do you like druid tiefling? 6 ft 4 inches of height? Who it was decided by 2 mid campaign coin flips that he did not know what underwear was for the first arc of the campaign, and that They have a biiig [redacted information due to tumblr rules and guidelines]? A fella that was not only raised by a god that was imprisoned at the bottom of the oceanic abyss next to the abandoned island he was left on, only referred to as The Octopus? Do you like birds? Colors? The Vast? Tears apart undead enough to terrify other undead? How about an otherwise caring sweetheart who managed to have several people crushing on him at one time and had no idea? Then this fella would appreciate the vote!

Forage has light purplish skin, long notched ears at the sides of his head, a feathered tail, hair split down the middle dark purple and magenta, green sclera, yellow irises, sharp teeth, and often wears garments modeled after paradise birds! Though his arc 2 outfit is a bit more coherent, black and red with silver accents. He also does makeup with dark red pigments, mostly to hide the scar on his face and just to acessorize further with. His staff, currently the staff of flowers modeled to be a sakura tree, has an orblike water portal for him to communicate with the octopus through.

A bythos is a towering figure of mist, with a rough, four armed humanoid shape and a swirling pattern like a great eye on its torso. Despite its apparent composition, it's body is completely solid and in fact has the consistency and texture of dry stone. They are mysterious creatures that hunt the planes and worlds for those who abuse planar and time travel, another emotionless multiversal repair being like the akhana.

As with that other creature, the bythos communicates through singular psychic images, often confusing and terrifying those it seeks to interrogate. They lack the ability to travel through time themselves, and beings or items capable of time travel are exceptionally rare, so the majority of their time is spent hunting for damage to planar boundaries. While over a great time the bythos can channel its energy into repairing this damage, stabilizing ares of planar overlap or leaking gates, its more common solution is to simply destroy the person responsible for it, or failing that, lock them in stasis. It uses this stasis as a last effort, if it is apparent that it's unlikely to be able to defeat its target conventionally, and then the bythos attempts to flee to ensure the stasis remains until such a time that it can figure out a method of destroying the threat.

5th Edition

Bythos Large celestial (aeon), true neutral Armor Class 18 (natural armor) Hit Points 231 (22d10 + 110) Speed 0 ft., fly 40 ft. (hover) Str 22 (+6) Dex 19 (+4) Con 21 (+5) Int 22 (+6) Wis 24 (+7) Cha 21 (+5) Saving Throws Con +10, Wis +12, Cha +10 Skills Arcana +11, Insight +12, Nature +11, Perception +12, Religion +11, Stealth +9 Damage Immunities cold, poison Damage Resistances fire, lightning, bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks Condition Immunities poisoned, prone Senses blindsight 60 ft., darkvision 90 ft., passive Perception 22 Languages envisaging Challenge 16 (15000 XP) Confusion Gaze. When a creature that can see the bythos starts its turn within 30 feet of the bythos, the bythos can magically force it to make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw, unless the bythos is incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature can't take reactions and rolls a d10 to determine what it does for the next 1d4 rounds. On a 1, the creature does nothing. On a 2-6, the creature uses all its movement to move in a random direction. On a 7-8, the creature uses its action to make a melee attack against a randomly determined creature within its reach. If there is no creature within its reach, the creature does nothing this turn. On a 9-10, the creature can act and move normally. Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can't see the bythos until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If the creature lookas at the bythos in the meantime, it must immediately make the save. Envisaging. The bythos communicates through a form of telepathy, nearly incomprehensible to non-aeons. It sends psychic projections of a single concept with a combination of visual and aural stimulation, and expects the target to interpret the meaning it intended. This otherwise functions like telepathy. Extension Of All. The bythos has advantage on Arcana, Nature, and Religion checks. It can also communicate telepathically with any aeon on the same plane as it, and can send empathetic messages to aeons on other planes of existence. Regeneration. The bythos regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point. Actions Multiattack. The bythos makes four Slam attacks. If two of these attacks hit the same creature, it must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or age 2d20 years. The aging effect can be reversed with a greater restoration spell. Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6+6) bludgeoning damage plus 10 (3d6) cold damage. Temporal Strike. The bythos can target a creature or Huge or smaller object within 10 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Charisma saving throw or it disappears from the present moment and reappears in the same space 1d4 rounds later at the end of the bythos' turn as if no time had passed. If a creature or object occupies that space, the creature appears in the closest unoccupied space to the original location. Spellcasting. The bythos casts one of the following spells, requiring no material components, and using Wisdom as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 20): At will: augury, slow, teleport 3/day each: haste, plane shift 1/day: imprisonment (when the bythos casts imprisonment, it traps the target in a form of temporal stasis. The target is frozen in place and can't be harmed or affected by any spell or effect. If the bythos is destroyed or casts imprisonment on a second creature, the imprisoned creature is immediately freed)

13th Age

Bythos  Large 8th level spoiler [celestial]  Initiative: +12 Aging Strike +13 vs. AC (2 attacks) - 25 damage plus 10 cold damage. Natural 16+: The target is vulnerable to all damage (save ends) as it suddenly ages 1d10 years. Natural 18+: The target also can’t add the escalation die to its attacks while it’s vulnerable. Dual Hits: If both attacks hit during the same turn, the bythos can make a temporal strike attack as a free action against a target it hit this turn. [Special Trigger] Temporal Strike +13 vs. PD - The target is pushed ahead in time. It is removed from the battlefield. At the start of each of the target’s turns, it rolls a hard save (16+). On a success, it reappears in the spot it disappeared from. On a failure, it gains a cumulative +5 bonus to saves against this effect. C: Confusion Gaze +13 vs. MD (1d3 nearby enemies) - The target is dazed (save ends). First Failed Save: The target is instead weakened (save ends). Second Failed Save: The target is instead confused (save ends). Quick Use: This attack only requires a quick action (once per round) when the escalation die is even. Stasis Lock +13 vs. PD - The target is trapped in a temporal stasis. Nothing can harm or affect it in any way, until a specific event chosen by the bythos is completed. This event must be reasonable, but the bythos doesn’t communicate it to any creature, requiring powerful rituals to decipher. If the bythos uses this attack against another creature, or is destroyed, the effect immediately ends. Limited Use: The bythos can only make this attack when the escalation die is 6. Flight. Resist Cold 16+. AC 23 PD 19 MD 22 HP 290

half asleep brain strikes again

this time with a rex/savage au

prepare yourself for incoherent ramblings that turn slightly more coherent as i wake up

so we got uhhhhh rex on dathomir. do i know how he got there? no, no i do not

he’s been captured for Reasons and cannot escape bc mother talzin has done some weird magicky bullshit to his heart

it kinda looked like what the briarhearts have going on from skyrim? with the whole not-quite-open-wound-but-you-can-see-the-heart-beating thing? with the giant threads across? her magic has put a stasis thing on it so if he leaves or whatever it’ll disable and he’ll essentially die immediately bc giant open chest wound

rex is given to the nightbrothers for minding bc the nightsisters are all eW gRoSs MeN

(i guess this is pre-ventress? or ventress never did her Selection thingy and is just chilling)

but anyways rex ends up in savage’s custody. savage does not appreciate this. savage has a whole village plus a feral to be taking care of. savage does not want the small angry human. small angry human keeps trying to bite him with his baby omnivore teeth. zabrak skin is too strong for that. savage definitely does not find this biting endearing after a while. nope not at all.

after rex is a bit more healed from the open chest wound, aka it’s not actively bleeding but you can still see his heart beating which is gross but also cool, and he’s stopped actively trying to bite savage, he has to help out with the village chores and shit bc they don’t have means to support another person. a lot of the nightbrothers have suffered under the nightsisters, so a mostly-able-bodied person does have to contribute or else they are going to starve. it’s also easier for savage to keep an eye on rex is he is with him.

through interacting with the nightbrothers and working alongside them, rex learns a bit of nuance, bc not everyone that is a part of your Enemy is actually your enemy. he knows this but doesn’t Know This, yanno? it’s also easier on the psyche to generalize your Enemy as all one bad conglomerate

there is an awkward accidental vouyerism scene, aka sharing a small house and somebody is trying to jack off quietly. rex has the most confused boner bc Hot but also Imprisonment. savage thought rex was asleep. he is feeling guilty about it bc rex is a prisoner but he also keeps trying to bite savage which is Doing Something for him.

while on a hunt with savage, feral, and some others, rex ends up saving feral from a predator or some shit. he fuckin yeets a spear into that bitch. yes that scene from the zygerria arc lives in my head rent free

yay feast time! they’re not gonna waste good food! they’re also celebrating feral not dying! ft. the innate homoeroticism of drinking wine or mead and making eye contact over the rim of the cup while the other person is laughing and lit up by firelight. rex and savage are both having Big Feelings. i’m having Big Feelings. you’re maybe having Big Feelings?

they end up having nice nasty filthy sex with a side of a size kink and voice kink. (maybe also biting kink) bc savage is Proportional and likes to hear men whimper. me too bud. savage freaks out the next morning bc rex is A Prisoner and he feels guilty and like he coerced him or something. rex acknowledges the power dynamic thing but also that he very eagerly consented and would appreciate if savage didn’t disregard his autonomy please and thank you.

rex also starts to emphasize to savage that he and his brothers deserve more than the slavery and abuse they suffer under the nightsisters. which savage already knows but an outsider’s perspective and knowledge that there will be something kith there for them kinda catalyzes it for him.

there’s definitely another Morning After where rex isn’t up for breakfast and savage goes to get some for them and bring it back bc it is Polite to do so after rearranging your man’s guts and turning his legs to jelly. good natured teasing from feral and the others ensues bc that’s what younger siblings and friends are for.

but uh oh spaghettios, the nightsisters return for rex bc dooku/mother talzin wants to use him for nefarious purposes. like a sleeper agent type thing, creating some latent mind control with Magic tm and then using him to kill jedi or something (listen plot isn’t my strong suit)

savage really can’t do anything to stop them from taking rex and is big mopey man until feral and a few others show up armed to the teeth bc they are going to get rex back. savage can either go with them or sit around and mope but they are getting rex back whether he likes it or not bc rex is Their Human Too.

meanwhile, rex is getting the everliving physical and mental shit tortured out of him. cuz whoopsies, he doesn’t break that easily and he’s got someone to stay sane for. nightbrothers attack the nightsisters, action shit happens, they get rex back. my original thought was to have feral die, but that feels mean and i don’t like it so he maybe loses an arm. or some fingers. prolly gets his horns broken with a side of head injury. who knows

uh oh spaghettios part 2, the stasis on rex’s weird heart wound thingy starts to fail. very sad. we cri. savage is cradling a dying rex while rex pets his horns. savage is crying and begging rex not to die. then ventress shows up bc she’s had enough of this bullshit (somebody’s jedi upbringing kicking in a little?) and she’s able to prolong the stasis. rex is alive but not doing too hot, so they take ventress’ ship (which is somehow big enough to hold an entire village shhh stop asking questions) and they go pick up the rest of the nightbrothers that stayed behind.

ngl i have no idea where it would go from here. like if they go to the jedi for help, both for rex and the nightbrothers, realistically they’re gonna lose rex back to the GAR. however, the mental image of ventress dropping off an entire ship of refugees and a dying subordinate to obi-wan is hilarious. but if they don’t go to the jedi, they’re not gonna have the support the nightbrothers need.

so i guess ventress drops them off at obi-wan and then dips? it’s like they have a weird custody battle going. ventress is the semi-deadbeat dad.

so rex doesn’t die (yay) but now they have to deal with a whole “rex is still property of the GAR” kind of thing. maybe a convenient loophole? since rex has been “dead” by GAR standards for a hot minute. or if he is married to savage by nightbrother standards he’s a free person (inspired by @/blackkatmagic’s marriage-loophole fics bc they are my favorites) (not gonna tag them bc i am Shy and do not want to be A Bother but go read their stuff it’s amazing and big inspiration, especially for rarepairs)

anyways they get a happy ending bc i say so
