Round 1 - Side A
Tumblr media
Galahad art credit @spiralstain
Propaganda below ⬇️
Junk Rat
I wish his Catholicism meant if he got killed in game it would take him 3 days to respawn
Galahad
OKAY SO . "Galahad (played by Jonny d'Ville): a travelling preacher/religious zealot who is told to sit in the Siege Seat by Merlin, and discovers the fact that Fort Galfridian is falling into the star Avalon. He sparks the quest for the GRAIL, and willingly goes to his death to overcome its final defences." DUDE SAT IN THE CHAIR THAT IS KNOWN FOR KILLING PEOPLE BECAUSE HIS CRUSH [MERLIN] [AKA HANGED MAN] [AKA DRUMBOT BRIAN] TOLD HIM TO . SORRY I THINK THATS REALLY FUNNY. he found out the whole shitshow of a spacestation he lived on was gonna fall into the sun and he went around yelling about it incomprehensibly and got fucking gunned down trying to get the GRAIL and just kept going through the gunfire because of how Religious [tm] he was . he died . in once and future king it just "galahad's blind faith" . also hellfire goes really hard . he is the definition of going insane with the knowledge of the universe . also jonny dville played him thats bonus points
There was a prophet. The prophet gave three separate people three separate instructions. 1. Stop being racist 2. Love your son 3. Sit in the Chair That Makes People Insane Galahad received number three. He was the only one who followed the instructions. He sat in the Chair That Makes People Insane, saw the sun for the first time, and immediately starts preaching about how everyone will burn in hellfire
i dont know anything about this guy i just wanna help make Kai happy please dont like not count my submission just because i dont know anythinf except for the Kills You Chair im trying my best im sorry 😭
his themesong is called hellfire and it slaps btw go listen to it. anyways he is my blorbo blingus he is Deeply unwell i could fix him but also whatever is wrong with him is incredibly fascinating to watch. a robot dude who's been hanging from the gallows since forever told him 'hey go sit in the Chair That Kills People Who Sit In It' and he was like 'I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT MY ENTIRE LIFE'. the getting-his-brain-fried thing definitely made him worse but he was also clearly kind of fucked up before that. his death is probably one of my favorite scenes in any mechs album. maybe just straight up my favorite. ahem. SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT FAITH, BUT IT CAN HAVE POWERFUL EFFECTS ON THOSE THAT HAVE IT. IT CAN KEEP YOU FROM FALTERING AS THE BULLETS START TO SLAM INTO YOU. IT CAN KEEP YOU WALKING AS YOU LEGS ARE SHOT TO BLOODY STUMPS. IT CAN KEEP YOU LAUGHING AS YOUR LUNGS ARE FILLED WITH SHRAPNEL AND LEAD. IT CAN KEEP YOU SMILING AS HALF YOUR FACE IS BLOWN AWAY. IT CAN KEEP A MAN LIKE GALAHAD STANDING TALL UNTIL THE GUNS. CLICKED. DRY. anyways go listen to high noon over camelot <3
my friends my people my... flock I HAVE HAD A VISION!! A VAST FIERY ORB FLOATIN IN AN ENDLESS VOID!! and there so small so feagile US!!! BUT FALLIN FALLIN FALLIN INTO THE FLAMES!!! your soul is connected to the world youre in youre draggin it down with the weight of your sin surrounded by temptation and y'just give in we're fallin into the flames OF THAT FIRE THAT FIRE THAT HEEEEELLLLLLFIIIRE YOUR BROW BECOMES SLICK AS YOU PERSPIRE YOU THINK YOURE THIRSTY NOW WAIT TIL IT GETS DRIER AND YA FEEL THE HEAT OF THE FLAMES OF THAT FIRE THAT FIRE THAT HELLFIRE YOUR SICK AND SINFUL LIES WILL BUILD A FUNERAL PYRE YOUR PERVERSION SCARS THE STATION SON ITS GONAN FRY HER AND WE ALLLLLL FALL INTO THE FLAMES... oh i have SEEN DAMNATION MY BROTHERS!! ive FELT its searing heat within my VERY BONES !!!!!!! but there is a way me be saved... "OH TELL US FATHER GALAHAD, TELL US" I HEAR YOU CRY "IS IT PIETY IS IT PURITY IS IT VIRTUE?" NO!!! ONLY WAY TO SAVE US NOW IS THE HOLY GRAIL ITSELF... HAHAHAHAHHAAAA.... WELL THAT ORB OF DAMNATION MAKES THE SUN SEEM PALE YOURE QUITE CORRECT TO QUIVER YOU ARE RIGHT TO QUAIL THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE US IS TO FIND THAT GRAIL OR WE ALL FALL INTO THE FLAMES OF THAT FIRE THAT FIRE THAT HELLFIRE YOUR SKIN STARTS TO SIZZLE AS YOU EXPIRE YOU CLAIM TO BE VIRTUOUS BUT YOURE A LIAR !!!!! AND YOU FEEL THE HEAT OF THE FLAMES ... i said HEEEELLLLFIIIIRE HEEEEEEEELLLLFIRE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLFIIIIIREEE HEEEEEEELLLLLLFIIIIIIRE OF THAT FIRE THAT FIRE THAT HELLFIRE AT THE HEART OF THAT INFERNO THAT WILL NEVER TIRE IVE SEE THE END IS NIGH AND DAMNATIONS NIGHER OH WE ALL FALL INTO THE FLAMES
Ok i know this is kind of a shot in the dark because hes so obscure but i need to speak my truth. Hes so insane. The narrator calls him a “holy roller.” He has a vision which is meant to tell him that the place they live is LITERALLY going to get burnt to a crisp because its slowly falling into the sun. But hes like Oh my god i just had a vision of hell i need to save everyone from eternal damnation. And he happily gets killed and turned into a pile of slop because he believes its what he was “chosen to do” he quite literally dies for his religion. Hes also quite funny. I like him. Thank you

it's crazy the level of discourse there is about antis/pros and how teenagers just devolve into purity culture so quick. I'm sure I used to be like that, but somewhere between dating gang members and reading copious amounts of philosophy the world became a lot more gray to me when I entered my twenties and I've realised three things that I think are important for teenagers to know:
To quote my favourite childhood book series: "People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict." Sure, going to car meets, selling drugs, drunk driving, stealing cars, playing chicken with cops are all examples of bad things that you shouldn't do but am I going to sit in my lovers bed and tell him that this life he was born into that saw all his friends die in drive bys and that saw his own dad pull a gun on him when he was a kid makes him a shitty person? Even though I can see all of the good in him, and can tell he doesn't want to do this, I should ignore it and focus on the negatitives? We have all done bad things, we all do bad things, and we all will do bad things. It doesn't make you a bad person.
Purity culture hurts everyone. There's a great book about this called the History of Sexuality that delves into how purity culture and the censorship of sex is at its essence the capitalist authority controlling the means of reproduction. At large scale 'pray the gay away' and 'contraception is a sin' make it so that men and women couple up more (instead of same sex coupling) and have unprotected sex. On a smaller scale 'AO3 is evil because it has pedos' and 'watersports is the grossest thing ever' do the job of the capitalist authority on a more digestible level. Us vs Them no longer is 'alt right vs communism' they use your words to make it 'pure good hobest people vs pedos who like piss play.' you are making bullets for your enemy and handing them your own damn gun. I promised I wouldn't make this whole post this one point tee hee sorry if you want me to elaborate just ask lol
Fetish ≠ real world experience. I'll build my own pyre as an example: I love me some good CNC (consensual non-consent) in my fanfics but in real life sex I have a praise kink so bad I have cried during sex multiple times. I am into tooth rotting sweet stuff and the kindest people in the world in real life. The media you consume 1000% has an effect on you, I'm not arguing that. I am however arguing that if you have media literacy and know what media is and is not harmful to you, it shouldn't effect your real life drastically unless you have other shit going on. I know this is rich coming from the "I have dated people in gangs" guy because that may show what kinda guy I'm into but prommy that's not a sexual attraction thing, it's 100% a lifestyle thing that again I will elaborate on if you want. Point being, porn ≠ reality and what gets that blood flowing isn't necessarily a reflection of how good or bad you are (ofc there are kinds of porn that are bad but that's beside the point and a very complicated thing for me to type while I'm this sleepy)
thank you for coming to my ted talk. pls I am begging on my knees for people to stop having black and white world views but i also know that's just a product of being a teen so if you are a teen pls! go out there and! consume media from different cultures and people with different lives to you! the world is at its best when it is wide!!! and full of love <3

Medea Played Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, The DLC’s (Part III)
Tumblr media
Just because the main story is over, doesn't mean you have to stop playing the game.
Once you get back from your adventure in Area Zero, Briar has quickly written a book about the ordeal.
Tumblr media
An apology for doing absolutely fuck-all when Terapagos was kicking all of our asses and for not controlling Kieran. Fuck no and fuck you.
Actually, you don't have to keep it for long. In Kitakami, go to the Crystal Pond, have Terapagos, and watch as things make no sense.
Tumblr media
That's right. A mist comes through and you meet with the professor. You have an in-depth chat about things and in the end, you exchange Briar's book for the Scarlet Book. Everything comes back around full-circle. Back at the school...
Tumblr media
Go to Amarys and she'll feed Koraidon/Miraidon a supplement that'll make him fly now.
No, she still doesn't call them by their actual name.
Tumblr media
Outside the school, you can meet Mr. Snacksworth. A man who has apparently met nearly every legendary (except Dialga and Palkia) and has crafted snacks for each one.
Tumblr media
Once you capture 200 pokemon for your Blueberry pokedex, go to Perrin for a special quest in Area Zero. However, after you complete the request Perrin only gives you a Park ball. You know, the balls you use at the National Park in Johto.
In the clubroom, you can spend those BP's on the item printer, throwing styles, or changing the music.
Tumblr media
Cute choices and all, but might I suggest some better songs?
*Mt. Pyre
*Route 27
*Route 44
*The three lakes in Sinnoh
*Lavender Town
Just to name a few.
Tumblr media
And of course, you can invite coaches to the club room. Invite two certain coaches at the same time and they might strike up a conversation and you might learn something. Here are some of the things I learned.
*Katy was the one who gave Kofu the Venonat wallet
*Grusha was a fan of Iono's back when she first started streaming
*Nemona knows Lacey from a party a few years prior and gave us confirmation by saying her father Clay's name
*Poppy is nine-years old
*Hassel knows Drayton and his granddad
*Clavell thinks Mr. Jacq-strap is a total slob
*Drayton is a total dick to Kieran long-after the incident
*A lot of the gym leaders are a bit resentful towards Geeta
Let's not forget the gifts and trades! After you battle the coaches, you get a gift. The first time, you might get cool stuff like phone cases, Drayden's black tracksuit, and...
Tumblr media
Clive's wig? I look so dead inside.
Invite everyone on the list at least 3 times and trade with all of them will allow you to invite the mystery person named Saffron. That person of course is Cyrano, the director of Blueberry Academy. Defeat him in battle and he'll trade you his Shiny Blitzle.
Let's return to Uva academy and help Team Star.
Tumblr media
I got major whiplash seeing Eri here.
Giacomo and Eri ask you for help in tutoring the other Team Star members and hide it from Penny too. It didn't go as planned, but there was a happy conclusion. Plus, you get some new outfits in the process.
Tumblr media
This leads to Atticus being grateful for the help that he makes his own garment knock-offs to be bidded on.
Many of these items you might recognize from past games like shoes from Aether, helmets from ORAS, and another reminder of Ball Guy's existence from Sword/Shield. Getting all the items are very costly with most auctions costing as much as 365,000 wing-wangs.
And now, let's get to the Mochi Mayhem.
First of all, you must get this mythical pecha berry from the mystery gift. Once you get it, go to Peachy's store in Kitakami. You notice a certain pink object move and then Arven calls asking to stop by your home. Next thing you know, the object is gone.
Tumblr media
Back home, Nemona and Penny joined Arven. There, you also get a letter from Kieran asking for you and your friends to come to Kitakami. He's using snail-mail due to not having a smart-Rotom phone. Before we leave, we learn something about Penny.
Tumblr media
Her father used the word "Adven-tour". So it's a good chance that her father is Peony. Which means her sister is Peonia. Which means her uncle is Chairman Rose. I have so many questions and this is the only time we hear about Penny's papa. Once we're in Kitakami, we're greeted with a familiar face.
Tumblr media
Kieran is a meek cinnamon roll again. I guess the answer all along was to have him battle with Nemona. Nemona beat the pants off this boy but also had him enjoy himself.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, there is something wonky going on in Kitakami. Carmine has been acting weird. And...um, how do I go about this?
Tumblr media
She flaps like a chicken and says the word "Mochi" over and over.
With Carmine acting strangely, there's only one thing to do.
Tumblr media
I am...just wow.
After this idiocy, we step outside and it turns into a cliche horror film trope.
Tumblr media
Everyone in the town is slowly turning into these flapping, mochi-munchers.
Tumblr media
Even Kieran's grandparents get hit with this mochi-demic.
Also, not helping in my suspicions on these two being Jessie and James. I know that's not their names, but Gramps battles you with Arbok and Weezing.
Back at Peachy's, we find the mystery pokemon causing this trouble. But it winds up shooting mochi at us.
Tumblr media
Penny and Arven eat up. I avoided it. And Kieran got conked on the head with it. And before you can say, "Mochi, Mochi"...
Tumblr media
They were under the mochi spell.
Tumblr media
Before you know it, the entire place is surrounded by moch-ombies.
Tumblr media
It's just that Nemona is too hard to possess fully.
Once you beat Nemona, you have to fight Peacharunt and catch it.
And those are the DLC's.
Tumblr media
The Teal Mask was just okay. I think the only thing I really liked was just Ogerpon and the ability to catch some of my favorite pokemon.
Tumblr media
The Indigo Disk, I was actually surprised by. The fact that you couldn't play that one until you've finished Teal Mask and the main game in total meant some major stuff was going to go down. Plus, the battles are a lot harder than normal.
Tumblr media
Mochi Mayhem was cute. It reminded me of some of those events for legendaries like the ones in R/S/E or the Victini one in B/W. I'm glad that we got an event pokemon through mystery gift. Something I wish we could have had with Zarude back in gen 8 instead of that bullshit joining a newsletter or something stupid.
So...I suppose this is the end of Scarlet and Violet. Unless we get more mystery gift surprises, this is probably it. I am a little upset that there isn't a battle tower like in previous games. And more important, Pokemon Horizons is going to go off and do it's own thing, not attaching it to the game whatsoever. We'll see what happens at the end of February as Pokemon Day always arrives with huge news in the games department.
And that was Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

For Sy and Tel: 🍍, 🍪, and 🍻
🍍: Where does your OC feel most comfortable?
Sydari feels the most comfortable in Raven Rock, something about the place, the people feel like it was always meant to be her home. She was gifted Severin Manor by Lleril Morvayn for her help in a few major rebuilding efforts, it's her favourite home that she owns. She once felt safe in Riften but several events drove her out of that place semi-permanently. She's preparing to move everything she owns to Raven Rock permanently but fate had other ideas, that would have to wait. Her pet bunny made the trip over at least, she loves that little guy.
Teldryn has never felt comfortable anywhere, he's not even sure if that's a thing. He roams, he use to have a home but it was more a place where he would crash after a long day of essentially being a fuckboi (pre-Nerevarine days there). He doesn't actually remember whose house it even was but it was pleasant, warm and almost safe. He makes a point of living a spartan existence, he partially owns the Retching Netch so technically that was his home (he has a room there that's locked, no one can rent it out, and it's the only room with a built-in bath so he doesn't have to share). He started making himself a space in Severin Manor as well, eventually allowing himself to accumulate some personal belongings that can't fit into a backpack. It eventually becomes his home too.
🍪: What is something that's sentimental to you OC?
Sydari has a few possessions that have sentimental value, there's her bunny, Thistle who she found tied in an abandoned shack not long after her final Skooma disaster. She put all her focus on nursing him back to health, he's the one thing she feels herself around, her actual self. Only showable to a rabbit. There's her soul gem necklace (something she wares to remind herself that she is powerful and that no one can truly mess with her again) she shares a split soul gem with Karliah, they both had a bone to pick with that soul. Finally, she carries around an old note with a crude drawing of a netch on it. It's in Dunmeris, so she has no idea what it says but it was given to her by what she assumes was the same mercenary that saved her from the cold as a small child. It's her oldest possession and the handwriting is beautiful. It reminds her that maybe someone is looking out for her, even if she'll never know who it is.
Teldryn's most prized and sentimental possession is his red-orange scarf, seriously. It was his grandmother's that he snatched from her burning funeral pyre. She was the only relative that showed him any compassion that wasn't just a series of strings-attached favours that he owed. It's the thing that makes him feel safe, he plays with it when he's nervous. It's ancient, full of holes and should have been thrown out a century ago but he can't get rid of it. He can't let go. He wears it as a mask both literally and figuratively.
🍻: What's your OC's favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day?
Sydari likes to read or tries to. She enjoys grabbing a bottle of wine, disappearing into her bedroom and tackling at least one chapter. She feels a sense of personal accomplishment every time she gets through one. Accomplishment makes her feel relaxed. Maybe she'll have a long hot bath, or she would if it wasn't constantly occupied!!! She use to disappear into a skooma-addled haze, she doesn't do that anymore.
Teldryn commandeers the baths, for hours, every night. He's got a whole set of rituals that he needs to complete to make himself not feel like a dirty, blighted freak. Mostly that involves bathing and a really gross tea that relieves the itchiness from his corprus scaring. If he can't bathe then he becomes insufferable so it's just easier to let him take over the place for 3 hours instead of arguing about it. He likes grooming himself, which is funny because no one ever actually sees his face for long enough to appreciate the effort he puts into it.
He still drinks himself to sleep every night but his binges haven't been as bad as they use to be. No assaulting poor netches in the night, Sydari would kill him!

abt that spider-niki au…. you should make her canon event smth rainduo angsty
thank you, anon, for being an incredible enabler.
i was thinking about c!rainduo in a spiderniki au earlier (especially re: the concept of wil trying for villainy and being unable to commit himself to it, and niki putting herself in the role of a hero and being unable to hack it) and playing with the idea that like, yes. wilbur dies, he disappears. niki can't save him - not as niki, and not as spiderwoman either. it's gutting. before that, niki has always been able to bounce back - or, failing that, crawl back up. wilbur is the first person close to niki that she loses, and it is terrible to bear.
except wilbur's not dead.
playing on the whole villain angle (i don't know enough about spiderman specifically to draw specific comparisons, sorry....if anyone has suggestions pls chime in) - look, self-destruction isn't unlike wilbur. i've yet to land on whether i think wilbur would pull some fake death thing to advance his own interests (some villainy underworld shit he's gotten caught up in??) or because something's gone wrong in his life and he feels the need to torch the pyre. when they go high, you go low, etc. i think it's fun to play with wilbur's ambitious streak in that kind of setting - maybe it's frustration with his station in the 'civilian world', so he tries to rise through the underworld instead. and then he gets a little too caught up in his own head about villainy, and good guys and bad guys, and if you're going to go low, you might as well scrape the bottom of the barrel, right?
imagining he doesn't know about niki's alter ego, ofc.
so to niki, wilbur dies - he's gone - and okay, we're allowed to be cliche it's a superhero au okay, he probably died in proximity to spiderwoman. she's supposed to be the protector of the people but she can't even save her best friend. how useless is she? why does she bother?
and then it turns out the bastard isn't even dead.
nah, he just left. and he left for some stupid fucking reasons, too - both incredibly selfish and incredibly dangerous, and niki can't fucking stand that it was so easy for him to leave, to forget, to not give a fuck at all, did he ever give a fuck to begin with? doesn't look like it. he left all of them grieving to go ??? make himself into a villain ??? are you kidding me ???????
so anyway we enter Spiderniki Phase 3: new villains roster, spiderniki seems to only put on the suit to take her all-consuming rage out on the closest thing she has to acceptable targets, and wilbur doesn't know why their friendly neighbourhood spiderwoman seems intent on snapping his neck.

I cannot believe Anne Rice started her slutty gay vampire series with the amazingly tragic and handsome figure of Louis then decided to make the rest of the series primarily about his narcissistic, petty, toxic, and abusive boyfriend instead. The guy who was so gross and controlling it took murder to get away from him (he got better, though).
The second book is written by Lestat. In direct response to Louis interview being published. It sets the tone of the most unreliable narrator known to mankind.
I'm only halfway through and I cannot take a single thing that happens at face value. So unless something later the the series not from Lestat's perspective confirms it, I'm going to assume most things are either exaggerated or utterly fabricated in the context of this fictional world.
The whole thing reads like the most over the top YA nonsense. So far there's been no strong through line of conflict or overarching plot other than flat out not believing any of it.
First there were wolves that Lestat was nearly killed by but he killed them and survived. Then he was traumatized for a bit. But then he got a boyfriend and the only conflict what that his father and brothers were awful and his mom might die. But then that was over when he ran off to live in Paris. So then the conflict was trying to survive, but that was over in just a few pages cause he got a job at a theater. Then a vampire shows up and torments him and turns him against his will. And you'd think he'd take at least some adjustment time but then it's like "oh, this is fine, actually."
But then the old vampire kills himself without teaching him anything other than "don't go in the sunlight" and that could have been some beautiful tension of fumbling through the world and trying to survive after having his life turned upside down. But no, he figures it out pretty fast and the old man vampire left him a literal mountain of treasure. So he was fine.
Then he made a faint play at "oh, I'll just feed off of bad people and criminals." But then something happened and he fed on an innocent person and had no real qualms about it and just fed on anyone.
Then his mom showed up in Paris and begged to see him because she'd die at any moment. Then he had to reveal himself to her and tell her what he was. And she was chill with it, and he turned her and she was totally cool with that too. There's a really weak conflict going on after that where he's "cut off" from her, and can't communicate with her mentally. But that's barely an issue.
Since being turned the closest thing to internal conflict he really seemed to have was some self imposed thing where he couldn't talk to his boyfriend anymore. He tried to frame it as some noble and difficult thing while it was visibly hurting the boyfriend.
Then there was the vampire cult who started chasing and harassing him. But that lasts like 2 chapters because suddenly they've kidnapped Nicki, Lestat's boyfriend. Which Lestat didn't even know was missing until they taunted him about it.
Then surprise! The cult leader is Armand, Louis big gay crush. And the cult is really weird about self imposed torment and living in the dark and doing god's bidding and some other weird nonsense. And they have a half dead Nicki in a cage on top of a huge pyre that they're threatening to light, but they only have 3 torches and Lestat easily takes them all and puts them all out. And no one lights another one for some reason?
But then with one magical speech Lestat brings the cult to an end. Hundreds of years of weird rituals and beliefs where they thought that it was a sin to live among humans. And just by saying "But I do it just fine" then all go "Yeah, let's go live like humans!" and the cult breaks up. And then Armand goes feral and just burns all but 5 members of the cult, but Lestat is told this after the fact. Because the last remaining members now totally trust him and want him to lead him. When literally just days before they were trying to murder him and now they're all "omg you're so powerful and amazing and wonderful and we love you."
Oh and after rescuing Nicki, Lestat turns him. And there's a conflict for about 2 days where Nicki won't speak and is just sort of a zombie. Then Nicki goes to the theater where they'd both worked, which shut down because Lestat gave them tons of money to move to London. And there's a whole thing where Nicki finally isn't a zombie anymore because he got his violin back. And he decides to lead the ex cult vampires and they create, get this, the vampire theater. The very one that took Louis in the first book.
And where I've left off has Armand flip flopping between being an absolute monster and being absolutely pathetic. And not at all like the one that Louis met. Like literally begging Lestat to love him, to trying to murder him by feeding on him, to nuzzling him by the fire in Lestat's secret tower.
It just reads so much like a jealous lover who got humiliatingly dumped and is trying to show that he's better than his ex. "Oh, that place he went and got tortured? Yeah, I created that! That guy he had a huge crush on? He begged me to fuck him. And I didn't even like him! And look how horrible he was anyway. And you think I'm the bad guy?"

[slams back drink*] I have a new nonsense concept.
* I don't drink alcohol so please imagine this is me taking a sip of my white mocha.
Ahsoka and Rex, due to Maul, get pointed at Mustafar in time to arrive for the Bullshit. Ahsoka definitely goes. Rex and Maul might. What's important is that Ahsoka gets there juuuust in time to see the last moments, you know, where Anakin is clearly off his rocker and Obi-Wan chops off all his limbs and Padme is dying and Anakin's on fire, etc.
The fun stuff.
So Obi-Wan is dead inside, Anakin is dead inside and out (mostly), Padme is dying, and Ahsoka just got here five seconds ago, possibly with a renegade Sith Lord (as opposed to the literally-on-fire Sith Lord a few feet away) and shell-shocked clone captain in tow.
Not a great day to be Ahsoka Tano! Decent day to be Maul, though, Kenobi is suffering and Skywalker-the-replacement is on fire and also has lost limbs like Maul did thirteen years ago, he's having a blast.
(Also Obi-Wan is probably expecting violence from Rex.)
But Ahsoka's emotional turmoil is at such a peak after everything, like her friends all trying to kill her for a bit, that Morai shows up.
Morai, being a personification of the Force-but-only-the-not-evil-parts, recognizes that shit's fucked, but these specific people are, hm, kind of important! To lots of things! Maybe she can use them to fix it.
And so she tosses them all back in time, as one does.
I'm thinking to about when Obi-Wan was ten-ish? So uhhhhhhhh 47 BBY?
Now, to make this peak awkward, I am going to have them landing on Concord Dawn, with the True Mandos.
Again, our cast:
1. Dying pregnant lady that needs immediate medical attention 2. Dying on-fire guy with no limbs (everyone insists he's evil) that needs immediate medical attention 3. Some? Jedi? Who looks like he'd cry if he weren't dehydrated as fuck 4. Terribly overwhelmed teenage togruta wearing beskar and a pair of lightsabers 5. Some guy who looks exactly like the Mand'alor, but older and blonde 6. Motherfucker Unlimited Himself 7. The True Mandalorians
Jango's like nineteen.
He has no idea what to do with these people because the first instinct is to take out the Jedi--Galidraan is three years away but he's not a fan of them in the first place--but there are so many people in need of medical attention and that guy has his face.
Rex, said guy with his face, manages to argue for medical attention first and explanations later (again: dying pregnant lady and recently-on-fire dude), while Ahsoka and Obi-Wan have to shout down Maul from going off and doing his own thing before anyone has a plan.
(If Rex is not there, then neither is Maul, and Ahsoka is the one doing the negotiation while Obi-Wan tries to use what little healing he knows to help--well, to help Padme, because both she and Anakin are dying but Padme has, to Obi-Wan's knowledge, not killed small children the way Anakin has, so he can prioritize her.)
Padme still dies. Unfortunate, but she was choked out on a lava planet and medical attention was delayed, the dark side is at play, etc.
Anakin is. Uh. They put him in a bacta tank and induce a medical coma until someone can come up with a plan.
Which leaves us with Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and the twins.
Padme gets a pyre because they can't take her to get buried on Naboo. Obi-Wan takes on the job of going to Coruscant and warning the Council, etc. If Maul is there, Obi-Wan brings him along as evidence.
Which leaves us with Ahsoka playing Auntie to the twins while Anakin's half-dead, mostly evil, all-unconscious in a bacta tank, Padme's nothing but ashes, and the Mandalorians are generally just kinda. Watching her. Because she's sketchy but also looks like she's Seen Some Shit to a degree that they recognize is a bit much even by their standards.
Rex has firmly entrenched himself in Older Bro territory and keeps refusing to let anyone bother her when she's having a bad day anyway.
"What the fuck is all this setup for?" you might ask. I'll give you one guess.
And @atagotiak did in fact guess:
Unconventional time-travel romance!
HELL YEAH, BABY
I want Jango awkwardly falling in love with Ahsoka, who may or may not give him the time of day, because she's got newborns to look out for, and her older brother is evil and unconscious and missing all his limbs, and her... other brother? Friend? SiC? hates Jango to an uncomfortable degree.
I just really love this mental image of Ahsoka holding both twins and trying to calm them down, near tears because of how overwhelmed she is by all this, possibly covered in some degree of soot or dirt, and Jango catching a look at her and being suddenly struck by Feelings.
Tia:
Also other Jango might’ve been fully aware of his part in causing this whole traumatizing mess and even if this Jango isn’t responsible that’s still. Uh. Awkward, to say the least
Jango still isn't sure what Rex's connection to him IS, just that he's from the future, worked with/for a Jedi, and had some kind of mind control chip in his head.
Nobody explained the clone thing, and Jango can't make the math work yet because nobody's telling him how far into the future these people are from.
So Jango's slowly falling for Cute Dangerous Togruta Jedi(?) Chick while her adoptive older brother (who Jango is starting to think might be his estranged future son or something) glares daggers every time Jango so much as offers her a glass of water.

Round 2 - Resurrect Bracket (Losers Bracket) Side B
Tumblr media
ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to [make it to the finals]
Propaganda below ⬇️
Galahad
OKAY SO . “Galahad (played by Jonny d'Ville): a travelling preacher/religious zealot who is told to sit in the Siege Seat by Merlin, and discovers the fact that Fort Galfridian is falling into the star Avalon. He sparks the quest for the GRAIL, and willingly goes to his death to overcome its final defences.” DUDE SAT IN THE CHAIR THAT IS KNOWN FOR KILLING PEOPLE BECAUSE HIS CRUSH [MERLIN] [AKA HANGED MAN] [AKA DRUMBOT BRIAN] TOLD HIM TO . SORRY I THINK THATS REALLY FUNNY. he found out the whole shitshow of a spacestation he lived on was gonna fall into the sun and he went around yelling about it incomprehensibly and got fucking gunned down trying to get the GRAIL and just kept going through the gunfire because of how Religious [tm] he was . he died . in once and future king it just “galahad’s blind faith” . also hellfire goes really hard . he is the definition of going insane with the knowledge of the universe . also jonny dville played him thats bonus points
There was a prophet. The prophet gave three separate people three separate instructions. 1. Stop being racist 2. Love your son 3. Sit in the Chair That Makes People Insane Galahad received number three. He was the only one who followed the instructions. He sat in the Chair That Makes People Insane, saw the sun for the first time, and immediately starts preaching about how everyone will burn in hellfire
i dont know anything about this guy i just wanna help make Kai happy please dont like not count my submission just because i dont know anythinf except for the Kills You Chair im trying my best im sorry 😭
his themesong is called hellfire and it slaps btw go listen to it. anyways he is my blorbo blingus he is Deeply unwell i could fix him but also whatever is wrong with him is incredibly fascinating to watch. a robot dude who’s been hanging from the gallows since forever told him ‘hey go sit in the Chair That Kills People Who Sit In It’ and he was like 'I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT MY ENTIRE LIFE’. the getting-his-brain-fried thing definitely made him worse but he was also clearly kind of fucked up before that. his death is probably one of my favorite scenes in any mechs album. maybe just straight up my favorite. ahem. SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT FAITH, BUT IT CAN HAVE POWERFUL EFFECTS ON THOSE THAT HAVE IT. IT CAN KEEP YOU FROM FALTERING AS THE BULLETS START TO SLAM INTO YOU. IT CAN KEEP YOU WALKING AS YOU LEGS ARE SHOT TO BLOODY STUMPS. IT CAN KEEP YOU LAUGHING AS YOUR LUNGS ARE FILLED WITH SHRAPNEL AND LEAD. IT CAN KEEP YOU SMILING AS HALF YOUR FACE IS BLOWN AWAY. IT CAN KEEP A MAN LIKE GALAHAD STANDING TALL UNTIL THE GUNS. CLICKED. DRY. anyways go listen to high noon over camelot <3
my friends my people my… flock I HAVE HAD A VISION!! A VAST FIERY ORB FLOATIN IN AN ENDLESS VOID!! and there so small so feagile US!!! BUT FALLIN FALLIN FALLIN INTO THE FLAMES!!! your soul is connected to the world youre in youre draggin it down with the weight of your sin surrounded by temptation and y'just give in we’re fallin into the flames OF THAT FIRE THAT FIRE THAT HEEEEELLLLLLFIIIRE YOUR BROW BECOMES SLICK AS YOU PERSPIRE YOU THINK YOURE THIRSTY NOW WAIT TIL IT GETS DRIER AND YA FEEL THE HEAT OF THE FLAMES OF THAT FIRE THAT FIRE THAT HELLFIRE YOUR SICK AND SINFUL LIES WILL BUILD A FUNERAL PYRE YOUR PERVERSION SCARS THE STATION SON ITS GONAN FRY HER AND WE ALLLLLL FALL INTO THE FLAMES… oh i have SEEN DAMNATION MY BROTHERS!! ive FELT its searing heat within my VERY BONES !!!!!!! but there is a way me be saved… “OH TELL US FATHER GALAHAD, TELL US” I HEAR YOU CRY “IS IT PIETY IS IT PURITY IS IT VIRTUE?” NO!!! ONLY WAY TO SAVE US NOW IS THE HOLY GRAIL ITSELF… HAHAHAHAHHAAAA…. WELL THAT ORB OF DAMNATION MAKES THE SUN SEEM PALE YOURE QUITE CORRECT TO QUIVER YOU ARE RIGHT TO QUAIL THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE US IS TO FIND THAT GRAIL OR WE ALL FALL INTO THE FLAMES OF THAT FIRE THAT FIRE THAT HELLFIRE YOUR SKIN STARTS TO SIZZLE AS YOU EXPIRE YOU CLAIM TO BE VIRTUOUS BUT YOURE A LIAR !!!!!

Ok i know this is kind of a shot in the dark because hes so obscure but i need to speak my truth. Hes so insane. The narrator calls him a “holy roller.” He has a vision which is meant to tell him that the place they live is LITERALLY going to get burnt to a crisp because its slowly falling into the sun. But hes like Oh my god i just had a vision of hell i need to save everyone from eternal damnation. And he happily gets killed and turned into a pile of slop because he believes its what he was “chosen to do” he quite literally dies for his religion. Hes also quite funny. I like him. Thank you
no propaganda some I'll just include
"When did Catholics become so judgmental?" hahahah
Gloria stealing the twins to get the secretly baptized is so funny to me. My auntie stole me as a baby to get my ears pierced. Just latino things

hhhhng I want answers to all of them for everyone BUT, how about:
Why did you give them the name they have? What is the in-universe reason for their name?
What inspired you to create your oc?
Does your oc have any notable skills or good personality traits? Why did you give them those traits? Why do they exist in-universe?
Which canon characters (if any) do the oc have bad relationships with? Why those characters?
Share a random piece of trivia about the creation of your oc. Examples: scrapped ideas or changes you didn't expect to make.
For Peter and Ren? No pressure to do 'em all, I'll be excited for any combination :)
AHHH thank you!!! I will absolutely Ramble on about my ocs so don't u worry heheh 💞
Why did you give them the name they have? What is the in-universe reason for their name?
Ren: I think I've actually answered this some time, a LONG time ago, but dont @ me i answer differently now LOL. In universe, he picked the name Ren because it's a shortening of Loren, the name of his Uncle who had the farm. The IRL reason for the name is because I see a lot of cool names at work and I write down my favs hahaaaa ((side note, i forgot until way after i created him, but the first guy i kissed at college was named Wren. I did not go anywhere.))
Peter: SOOO you get some bonus Calvin facts here too! Oringally Peter and Calvin were kind of the same character that I turned into two different guys. I had called them Peter kind of as a place holder bc I was reading a lot of Spideypool at the time, and well. You know what happens with placeholder names. Then I redesigned them both, and the demon felt more like a Calvin to me, so vampire boy got to keep the Peter name! In universe, Peter's original last name was something generic like Brown or Smith idk but once he was bit and Maggie started calling him Peter V. Pyre as a joke, it kinda stuck. (Later on, Florence ends up taking the name Pyre as well. Makes things a lot easier for everyone, and she says it feels more 'her')
Ok this is already long so I'm gonna put the rest under a cut!
What inspired you to create your oc?
Ren: My baby boy was my Outer World's Captain! That's how he started, my first play through was as "Ash" but only in name really. Then I finished the game and was like must consume fanfic, which then lead to me developing Ren as his own Boy. I had been working on a lot of lore for Ash and my Fallout 4 OCs! Then I was like "Ohhhhhh no,,,,, sorry my children Ren's my fav right now"
Peter: Cowboy Vampire. Needed one. Also a lot my ocs starts as loosely veiled self inserts so they tend to all be a little similar in like,,, body shape and size so I was like... Beefy cowboy vampire???
Does your oc have any notable skills or good personality traits? Why did you give them those traits? Why do they exist in-universe?
Ren: He's really good at like, being stealthy, because that's how I TRIED to play TOW the first time. I am impatient, so Ren get all the patience I don't have LOL. In Universe I ended incorporating it into his backstory- he's got a bit of a criminal background and learned how to get around unseen and unheard during that time. It helps that he's a small boy :3
Peter: He's got some fun Vampire ~abilities~ that probs vary from story to story bc im too lazy to stick a set of rules. Stuff like being able to see in the dark, and like, idk he's got some good reflexes. Also a heightened sense of smell. Bc of reasons. All of those are just cuz its fun tbh! I also have him being a really good shot with a pistol BEFORE his transformation, so with his reflexes as a vamp he's near unmatched.
Which canon characters (if any) do the oc have bad relationships with? Why those characters?
Ren: In TOW Canon, aside from the obvious, he's got a rough relationship with Max for... most of the story lol. For a while he'd ONLY travel with Max if Parvati was with them as well. She's the only one he wasn't constantly arguing with. Max's "violence is the immediate answer to everything" attitude reminds Ren of some not so great ppl in his past, and after Fallbrook, Max is on Ren's shit list. Max becomes more tolerable to him after Scylla, but Ren still never gets as close to Max as he does the other crew.
Also Lilya Hagen specifically bc she tried to "poison" him once.
Peter: I haven't really figured out a lot of details, but at least in the beginning, he and Calvin have a... tense relationship. Peter wouldn't consider them friends for a while, a work partner maybe. Calvin likes to push Peter's buttons and Peter doesn't really understand at first that Calvin is just having fun. Calvin IS a demon, though, so they know exactly what they're doing. ((Bonus fun fact: Peter is actually legitimately older than Calvin. Peter was born in uhh some time in the 1790s? and Calvin was born in 1933))
Share a random piece of trivia about the creation of your oc. Examples: scrapped ideas or changes you didn't expect to make.
Ren: Ren was supposed to be a lot younger at first! Originally I had him ~25 during the games events, but then as I developed him more i was like.... what if.... older??? A lot of that was inspired by my need to give Felix someone older than him that WOULDN'T fucking betray him in some way. So, you have my love for Felix to thank for Ren's age In turn, because I made him older, I ended up having a lot more time to play with in Ren's pre Halcyon life, which created Johnny.
Peter: Peter's still pretty new so there's not too much I haven't already talked about BUTTT a little peek into the future of Peter's story, I did end up expanding on the Maggie/Peter relationship, and it's part of Peter's eh origin story now~

Top 5 blorbos?
You are cruel to me for making me choose between my children like this :'(
1. Jack Seward from Dracula. I actually memorised that part about him studying Renfield up to Renfield eating the birds when I was 13 and read Dracula for the first time. He was always my favourite suitor simply because I love insane scientists <3
2. Javik from Mass Effect. (He and Samara are a close tie actually). Listen you give me a guy that's the last of his people that took a 50000 year long nap to escape from his problems only for his problems to come back... I will definitely go insane about him.
3. Agrael from Heroes of Might and Magic V. I played this game religiously as a kid and it's seared into my brain like a tramp stamp. He's my OG blorbo, the one I can never forget in spite of how niche I realise he is in my circle of friends lol
4. A recent addition from last year is Marius Von Raum from the Mechanisms band. In his own words, he's just some guy, you know :) an absolute little creature and let's be real. If I was immortal and didn't have to worry about "jobs" or "college education" I, too, would dress like that.
5. Another recent addition but Sir Gilman from Pyre. He's just. Such. A. Guy. He's got it all. Afraid of heights. Seeking honour. Heart eye. Knight. Loud. Himbo. A literal worm. Yellow. He's so fucking shaped and if I ever get my hands on yellow soft fabric I will implode and immediately work of trying to make a plushie, just you wait.
Special shout-out to literally any cat. They're all my blorbos. My literal wet little meow meows. My pet freaks <3 A Blorbo From My Life and honestly. That's the best blorbo <33

Russell meets Lennon - pet whump, collars, swearing
Russell thought that maybe some kind of odd prank was being played on him when he pulled up to the trailer. Sure, he’d been in worse places, but there was something off-putting about the whole scenario; driving to some dingy scrapyard on the outskirts of town was supposed to help him close up a business deal? Christ. 
A solitary streetlight lit up most of the property, washing everything in a muted yellow and making the encroaching darkness seem even more sinister. Russell turned off the car, making sure it was locked a few times before he steeled himself. 
“It’s just business.” 
A gangly man in a truckers hat and a heavy jean jacket met him at the door, swiping his sleeve under his nose and spitting out onto the dirt in front of Russell. 
“Y’here for the account papers?” 
Russell couldn’t help but pick up on everything going on behind the man; more washy yellow light concentrated from dusty mismatched lamps, the trailer's kitchenette barely spanning 3 feet, dishes piled in the sink. He pulled his eyes to meet the man, setting his shoulders. 
“Yeah. Russell Barlowe.”
“Stu.”
Stu turned into the trailer, leaving Russell in the doorway, still a little on edge. He was going to have to call Pete after this, if only to penalize him for offering up a “middle man to make the transaction smoother” that turned out to be a grizzled, secluded trucker. 
This Stu guy better be a fucking finance wizard. 
“Y’comin’ in or y’gonna piss on my porch all night?” 
Russell almost choked, taking a few halted steps inside and breathing deep to adjust as fast as possible. It smelled like tobacco, stale sweat, and kibble. The couches were stained and a little torn up, singed foam jutting out at the end cushions, but Russell took a seat anyway. 
“Y’want somethin’ to drink? I gotta print some shit out before we wrap this up.” 
Russell remembered the sink. “I’m alright, thanks.” 
That’s when he spotted the food bowl. A flimsy silver dish, about the size of a bread plate, with the name ‘Lennon’ crudely carved on the lip. It looked like the only clean thing in the entire trailer. 
“You got a dog?”
Stu snorted, hacking up a cough and spitting again, this time into the sink. Russell kept his face neutral. 
“Hck, yeah.” And then he stalked into the back of the trailer, presumably where his printer was.
Russell busied himself by thumbing through the calendar on his phone, trying to memorize his schedule for tomorrow, what meetings with who, when to call Pete and lay into him, but he was interrupted.
A shape was moving out of the back of the trailer, and Russell leaned forward on the couch, offering out his hand for Stu’s dog to sniff. To show he wasn’t a threat. 
A boy shuffled along the grimy particleboard on all fours, keeping pressed to the wall, and Russell stood up. 
“What the fuck.” It came out as a whisper, a sharp release of air. 
The boy was rangy and thin, dirty like the rest of the place, his hair slightly matted. Scars and bruises littered his skin, visible even beneath his ragged white t-shirt and boxers. The material was too thin to leave anything to the imagination. His eyes were huge and blue and teary, skittering from Russell to the back room over and over again. But Russell was laser-focused on the thing around the boy's neck. A thick, wrought-iron collar with a chain that fed into the back room, but was long enough that the boy could crawl to the food bowl. To Russell. 
“Git.” 
The boy scrambled back into the dark room, and Stu emerged holding a fresh manila folder.
“Sorry ‘bout that. He’s a nosy fucker. Got him too young.”
Russell tried to slow his breathing, to appear unfazed. Stu had a pet. 
“How old is he?” It felt like an unobtrusive enough question. 
Stu took off his hat and scratched through his hat-hair with long fingernails. 
“Old enough.” 
Russell didn’t know much about pets, but he was sure that it was illegal to own a pet under eighteen. The kid looked like he’d been here for years.
“Right.” Russell cleared his throat and took the folder from Stu, ready to get the hell out of there. “Thanks.” 
Stu spat into the sink. “Not a problem, Mr. Barlowe, sir.”
Russell sat in his idling car, staring blankly through the windshield into the dark surrounding the trailer, the folder untouched in the passenger seat. He should be pulling out of here, getting home, taking a fucking shower. 
Adrenaline made him shake, his hands tight on the wheel, the stench of the trailer still lingering. What the hell was he supposed to do? Charge back in there and snatch the kid? Call the police? Animal control? 
“Fuck. Fuck. Okay.” It took him a few minutes to gather himself, to come to a decision that would alleviate whatever burning pyre of responsibility he suddenly felt for this kid. For a pet. 
He’d do the only thing he really knew how to do when it boiled down to it.
 He’d make a deal with Stu.

Violent Violet
i DO what i WANT (KIRA)
You could never understand I exist Beyond your imagination Everybody wanting what I have Got 'em fabricating cheap imitations Don't need anyone's permission I assert my own position Baby, listen up and get it right 'Cause before I'm going down I will be putting up a fight!
Ready or not, I call the shots I am the Final Boss You couldn't touch me Need some more level-ups Don't wanna hear nothing from nobody, nobody, nobody, 'cause
It's way too late You won't be saved All that you are is a tragedy Your dream will end It's my time to awake

A Father’s Arms (Miracle of Sound)
Steel and rags still covering the shame Gods and titans shudder at the name
Fall  to the pain again Ash  on the pyre Call  to the rage again
Borne back to the fire...
I am chaos I am war I am fury And I am yours no more...
I AM CHAOS I AM WAR I AM FURY AND I’M YOURS NO MORE

In this fandom- you will see people hate on Mor for Azriel's broken feelings and for trying to protect her family from people that don't treat them right. You will see people hate on Gwyn, just because she talked to Azriel and being besties with Nesta. You'll see people hating on Elain, simply because 2 guys are interested in her and for wanting to live a simple life. You'll see people hating on Feyre for not thinking about Tamlin's trauma. You'll see people hating on Nesta constantly, always bringing up Nesta's past and completely ignoring her journey in acosf and the good things she has done. You'll see people hating on Amren because of the things she's said in acosf, pretending like she was never in the other books. Don't worry, these are not the only reasons why they all get constantly hated on.
You'll also see people putting Gwyn and Elain against each other. You'll see people putting Elain, Feyre and Nesta against each other. Nesta against Amren. Nesta against Mor. Gwyn against Mor. Not to mention that people also compare Feyre and Viviane, bringing Feyre down.
The women that don't get hate? Emerie, Vassa, Cresseida and Viviane.... but guess what? Vassa, Cressaida and Viviane don't get talked much about cause they only have like 3 lines in the whole series, while people often bring up Vassa and Emerie, just to shame on real life people. Using them for a ship war.
But don't worry! You won't see people hating on the bat boys or the other guys! Except for Tamlin, but that's because he really f** up.. even then, he has people supporting him. The reason why Lucien gets hated on is only because some people want to see the sweet girl with the dark haired, sad boy with shadows together- but still a large number loves him cause he really is a gentleman, despite having made mistakes. Oh, but what about Eris? Nah, he may be an asshole and yeah he may have slutshamed Mor, but he's hot and he's probably like Rhys, fighting for peace! Azriel? You won't see any hate about him- he may have creeped on Mor for 500 years and he can't control his emotions but he's traumatized and hot looking and no one cares about Mor anyway! Cassian? Oh no, he's our sweet and goofy boy- despite him saying nasty things to Nesta and not caring when Rhys hid the pregnancy problem from Feyre. Rhys? Nah, he f** up many times but he stays our feminist king, fighting for peace.... he's also hot.
You might only see people comparing Rhys and Tamlin, but they’re already against each other in the books. I promise you, no one will put the guys against each other! Especially the bat boys.
So, I have come to the conclusion that this fandom just hates to see women win.
idk if it’s as black and white as the acotar fandom hates women. there’s plenty of people i follow who stan the fuck out of the female characters. but i agree that it seems most in this fandom has a huge tendency to offer forgiveness toward a male character over a female one.
like legit the dudes could be committing literal war crimes and you will still find people saying “they had a rough childhood is ok” and a female character will say one unkind thing to someone and suddenly it’s “burn the slut!” can’t tell you how many times i’ve seen people go to the mat to protect eris the trashman vanserra from criticism (none of my moots who love trash, you’re all amazing and i love you!) but will throw mor on the pyre because “she’s lying” about him and everything and fuck her blah blah blah. stan whoever the fuck you want, no one cares. but can y’all please chill with the misogynistic reasons to hate a queer woman?
i’m not gonna play morality police and say who people can and cannot like and how they can like them. it literally doesn’t matter to me if someone likes my fave character or wants to throw them into the trash heap. i just wish everyone would be a bit more mindful on how they express their dislike. cause some of these opinions are gross and should stay in the drafts.
