[egophiliac]

happy new year Ego!!! Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore your twst fanart and the tags are just an absolute pleasure to read! You are my greatest inspiration for my personal twst art and I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful masterpieces <333 if possible, may I ask what are some of your headcanons for the diasomnia family? If not for diasomnia then any other characters are fine as well!

thank you, and happy new year! 💚💜💚 that is amazing to hear; it's always a little bewildering but super flattering that other people like my silly little doodles so much!

I don't think I really have any really solid headcanons and also canon keeps validating me left and right (FLUFFY DOMESTIC DIAFAM IS REAL). mostly just kind of...impressions and general thoughts, if that makes sense! lately though I've been kind of obsessed with thinking about Lilia's hair, and specifically when/why he ended up cutting it. (l-look, we're bouncing around the timeline and I gotta make decisions about these things when I draw, it's relevant) (I mean I would probably be weirdly fixated on this anyway, but.)

I think I've settled on the idea that he kept it long until he went to NRC, partly because 1) I like drawing The Ponytail, and 2) I think he thought of NRC as a chance to reinvent himself a bit! he gets to go and be a wacky carefree teenager for a few years and have fun! (officially he's there to keep an eye on Son #1, but how much trouble could he get into, really.) so he gave himself a Cool Teen Haircut to go with his fresh new Cool Teen Persona!

also maybe he had some reflection on his hair's troubled past with three kids...

...and had to weigh his vanity versus the fact that he was going off to be around hundreds of kids on a daily basis, and. the choice suddenly seemed obvious.

[renamamiyasgirl]

meeting ren amamiya for the first time!!

ren/akira/joker x gn!reader, can TECHNICALLY be read as platonic if you regularly stare at your friends eyes idk, lowkey doesn't even mention his name so you can read this with whatever character you want

“shibuya, this is shibuya”

sighh,,, another idle day

you've only just gotten up to go to your first day back to school after break and have had your feet treaded on like 200x in this cities train system + you aren't entirely sure where your left earbud is???

with one more exasperated breath, you step out of the carriage and-

OUCH??

you look up from your new position on the floor, seeing a man dressed in a suit and tie, looking back down at you panicked

“hey watch where you're walking???” you managed to spit out

rather than being a decent person this iDiot mumbles a “my bad” and continues rushing to another platform,, as if he didn't just THROW a teenager

what

you haven't even gotten up yet because what the fuck was that

“are you just going to keep sitting there?”

suddenly a hand appeared at your face. first you get pushed and now this smug piece of SHIT is judging you (you can literally HEAR the smirk in his voice) ?? no you aren't having this,, this random man is going to get-

oh.

after about 15 seconds of plotting you finally decide to move your eyes upwards and

oh.

you see (suprisingly) cute eyes staring at your sad form, slightly crinkled from the smirk (YOU KNEW IT) and decorated with a pair of lenses (in which the glass was way too thin to be a real prescription)

well this changes things

you snap out of your trance when the pretty stranger raises a brow

now much more gingerly, you take his hand,

“thank you very much!!”

maybe your day isn't going to be that bad.

After a while all the Mechanisms forget who they were before. For many of them, all they have left are their songs, and none of them can remember how much is truth and how much is simply a story.

Tim only has the vaguest hints of memories of what it felt like to spend time with Bertie, a gentle hand brushing his hair from his face, a flutter inside his chest, but he can't even remember what Bertie looked like anymore.

Jonny can't remember what his father was like any more, though he is certain he killed him. While he remembers pulling the trigger in a flash of devastated rage, he can't remember where the bullet ended up. Did Jack ever exist? Or was he a representation of multiple people, or was the killing of Jack simply an expression of the themes of the story? Or maybe he can't face the truth of what really happened. Jonny claims One Eyed Jacks tells us how he got his mechanical heart but it doesn't, not really. Maybe there never was anyone else in the room with him and he shot himself, right through the heart, in a fit of maddened guilt and grief.

Brian will never ever forget the endless black and the terrible cold seeping deep into his bones, though he has long since forgotten what his own face used to look like.

Ashes knows their song must be dramatised since the song claims that their skin burned, but only their lungs were mechanised, so they must have died simply of smoke inhalation. They can also no longer remember if they really were a level-headed detective as they were in the song, or if they simply died in an arson attack gone wrong, and destroyed their whole world, along with everyone they ever cared about, over a mistake.

Raphaella has no song to hang onto, no story to tell, and her past is long since forgotten. Though the stench of the city feels far too familiar, and she flinches when the name Icarus is spoken, though she could not tell you why.

[ducktracy]

Were there any shorts that paired Bugs and Porky? Like the the only ones I can think of are from New Looney Tunes/Wabbit and I just know there had be shorts that starred just them before that.

OH MAN!!! OKAY. i'm going to preface this right now with: the answer is simple (tl;dr: barely, i'd say only one truly counts during the classic era) but the Porky and Bugs dynamic has become a side obsession for me within the past year or so, and i don't really have many opportunities to talk about it on this blog. so i will probably end up giving you way too much info than what you asked for. so there's the tldr above! and to reiterate it further...

SO. YES. to answer your question, they were occasionally paired together in the classics, but nothing really meaningful. Porky's Hare Hunt, which is a self-admitted rip on Porky's Duck Hunt, births a prototypal Bugs Bunny who could not be further from his fully realized counterpart... but there is a direct lineage.

this is the only short in the classics to have them actually talking to each other, and even then, proto-Bugs sounds nothing like how he would. i both count this one and don't, really... it's more interesting to count it, but, this isn't really Bugs. but as the title implies, it's all about Porky's attempts to hunt this screwy rabbit who keeps heckling him and slipping out of his fingers. it also births the Groucho Marx-ism of "of course you realize, this means war!" associated with the real Bugs, so there is that going for it!

interestingly, this model sheet surfaced a few months ago--Bob Clampett had said something in an interview about him helping out with the story for this one, and i always dismissed that as one of his "exaggerations" since he had a knack for making many mountains out of molehills, including his involvement in the origins of Bugs... but this does look like a Clampett or Clampett unit drawing, and the short was directed by Ben "Bugs" Hardaway, whose style was markedly different... so, just thought that was interesting! never got to talk about this yet. this model sheet is more appealing than the whole cartoon!

there's also this from Hare-um Scare-um, which is another proto-Bugs short... very prophetic honestly

there's also Any Bonds Today, where Porky appears in the background alongside Elmer and has at least one line to help shill war bonds, but it's really Bugs' thing first and foremost and he's just sort of there to look pretty and rouse jingoism through being a recognizable and "reliable" face

BUT! the next true Porky and Bugs short in 1943, which is more relevant to your question. A Corny Concerto is really only the "true" short that pairs them together... and it's for half the runtime of the short, and neither of them say a word to each other LOL. but they're together in the Tale of Vienna Woods segment, and i HIGHLY recommend watching it if you haven't yet--extremely entertaining and charming, and paints a very interesting glimpse of what a Porky and Bugs dynamic would look like, had that been a thing. very antagonistic! Porky is hunting Bugs again, who's heckling him (again), coming to a climax where he fakes Porky out by pretending to die and then slaps him in a gag that makes it look like Porky is being a masher. normal stuff.

and thanks to this short i've fostered the headcanon that i think Porky and Bugs would absolutely detest each other if they were ever to interact and it gives me great joy to think about, and has been something i've been thinking about and concocting in my mind palace very much lately.

AND THAT'S REALLY IT FOR MAJOR APPEARANCES.. i talked about it in this ask, but the end of Porky Pig's Feat does make history by being the only time all the flagship stars appear together--Porky and Daffy are held prisoner in a hotel since they couldn't pay their rent, and they start reminiscing on how Bugs Bunny, the great cartoon star, would be able to get out of such a mess... and they try to get his help, only for it to reveal that he's stuck in the same situation! Porky doesn't say anything to Bugs/hardly regards him, but he does start the "gosh, if Bugs Bunny were only here" discussion... Bugs is really more like a godlike cartoon figure here rather than an actual character, and i see it more as a loophole for Frank Tashlin to work with Bugs, since he was very vocal about his disappointment in not getting to direct him often due to being low in the studio hierarchy and being "stuck with the damn pig" (rude!!)

and the last instance of them together that i can think of is a very brief part in the 1964 Dumb Patrol short (clarifying the date since there's a 1931 Bosko short by the same name): Porky in a silent cameo is slated to take down Yosemite Sam's warplane, but Bugs knocks him unconscious and steals his place because "he's got a wife and six piglets at home!" (...or, it's just a slightly more creative way of concocting exposition for what's a subpar Bugs and Yosemite Sam short)

and that's it for the shorts! ...so, surely, you're asking "okay, but why the long winded anticipatory introduction?" and to THAT! i say... because Porky and Bugs had a sort of double life and were very frequently paired in merchandising together.

Bugs was Porky's Daffy-figure in the comics, to the point where they were often the face of the comics together. usually a lot of stories revolving around Bugs trying to stir up Mr. Moral Goody Two Shoes Porky and get him in trouble, the two going on adventures together, or them just being buddies. it's... weirdly fascinating? the comics were often drawn and written by many of the same figures who worked on the cartoons, so it's a very interesting "what if" scenario that might give insight as to what it'd be like if we got more Porky and Bugs shorts

one of my all time favorite comic stories is an entire story about a big, convoluted misunderstanding where everyone things Porky wants to kill Bugs and they all try to stop him. the comics have been excellent fodder in fueling my "Porky just hates Bugs' guts" headcanon that i kinda just thought was me being funny, but has a weird amount of "evidence" for it LOL.

i mean Porky just goes straight for the ankle breaker here!

SO! they have been paired together in the past, but in a sort of strange, convoluted way. in terms of shorts there's very little, and the only time they ever talk to each other one on one is when Bugs is in his most primordial form. the comics and merchandising of the era paint more of a picture of what that dynamic could be like, but maybe a bit of a dubious one, since the characterizations and writing and general style of the comics are a bit different and more sanitized than the irreverence of the shorts, in both tone and format

[anghraine]

I was talking to my students and then some family members about how the death of Elizabeth I and succession of James was necessarily an occasion of upheaval, even when it wasn't necessarily violent or flirting with treason or whatever. For one, the death of a monarch that will lead to a new dynasty (even a related one!) is not quite the same as a familiar figure inheriting the country's rule from their parent or grandparent. It's usually a bigger change, with dynamics of loyalties and affiliations shifting around—that's part of the reason Elizabeth delayed acknowledging James as her heir.

Typically, you'd see courtiers etc deserting a dying monarch in order to signal their loyalty to the new monarch, even if the old one wasn't actually dead yet. Elizabeth's reluctance to share royal power was fundamental to her reign and her public image, so it's not at all surprising that she would be loath to encourage that kind of desertion in any particular direction.

Of course, another thing that complicates the Elizabeth -> James succession is that she had reigned for a long time (44 years iirc). By the time she was dying, a good number of English people had few personal memories of life under any other monarch, and those who did would remember the abrupt and unstable reigns of her predecessors, Edward and Mary. So James's accession came with uncertainty about what exactly it would entail, and a lot of late Elizabethan/early Jacobean drama in English is very concerned with questions of what obligations the governed owe to their monarchs (obedience? loyalty? are those always the same thing?), but also what obligations monarchs themselves have to their people.

This seemed especially pertinent to Lear, in which multiple characters defy capricious orders from a monarch or other authority out of loyalty: Kent challenges Lear and is banished, so skulks around in disguise to continue serving him, Edgar also skulks around in disguise after Gloucester renounces him and ends up offering what comfort he can to his father, and Cordelia returns to Britain with the French army in her ultimately futile attempt to help Lear. Meanwhile, Lear loses everything, is driven to take shelter in a peasant hovel, and starts to contemplate how his own failures as a king resulted in, well, peasant hovels.

Anyway, now I'm thinking about what a wild figure Elros must have been as, specifically, a monarch to the Númenóreans. He lived for five hundred years. Even his own children (also half-Elves! sort of!) and other descendants who benefited from his lifespan didn't live as long, and most Númenóreans during his earlier reign wouldn't have come near to it. Undoubtedly there were Elves who had known Elros in the First Age who were baffled at him choosing mortality and DEATH, and meanwhile on Númenor, there are all these people living out their extended lifespans under the reign of a half-Elf king who was ruling their people at their birth and would still be ruling after they died of old age. We know Elros retained his half-Elvish characteristics as well, so they've got this visibly Elvish, barely-aging, eternal king who looks like Lúthien as part of the fabric of life for centuries.

Yes, he's literally the first king—but for a lot of earlier Númenóreans, he's also the only king they will ever know. It takes him an incredibly long time to weary of the world as other mortals do. By the time Elros finally gets weary of Arda, and willingly lays down his life and passes to the unknown fate of mortals, Tar-Amandil is stepping into some very big shoes.

Headcanons about Tuvok's parents and home life below [Patreon | Commissions]

My (most used) headcanon for Tuvok's parents is that his mother is a priestess and thus didn't live with the family (Tuvok only cites his father sending him away as a teen but says both his parents wished for him to be in Starfleet, so she was still alive) Tuvok would often go to the temple to speak to her. As a child he would make the journey there just to complain about small things his dad did that irritated him. When they spoke face-to-face he would address her not as 'Mother' but as 'Reldai' and as a small child he didn't really understand who she was. (Don't parents live in your house?)

As he grew older, he'd talk to her about more important things and began to distance himself from his father because of the Starfleet issue and later being disowned then reinstated as his son. Tuvok felt very...had a lot of complex thoughts and feelings towards his father, all that on top of just being a teenager. With his mother, the distance kept things simple. I don't think Tuvok spent a large amount of quality time with either parent after he reached a certain age. His mother lived at the temple and he was old enough not to bother her with petty things and his father, a Starfleet officer, was gone for long stretches of time. Sunak tried to convince Tuvok to come travel with him on a starship but Tuvok was very much against it. When he was a child he just point blank refused but when he grew older he came up with logically sound reasons he shouldn't have to leave Vulcan. I headcanon he was tutored at home after he was disowned and subsequently un-disowned; he missed a lot of school and didn't want to re-enroll to repeat a grade. His father agreed because he didn't want Tuvok getting another crush anyway. So, Tuvok stayed with relatives or relatives came to his home for a while but eventually he was old enough that he could just stay at home alone. Which he did. When I picture Tuvok as an adolescent he's in a very old home at the edge of a desert, alone or with an elder. You can hear the wind howling. I think he's from a family of some importance (see, him being tutored personally by a Vulcan Master since he was a toddler) and his general attitude <3 but I don't think they're KNOWN y'know? It's more like being the pastor's son in a religious town than being the son to the ambassador of Vulcan. He's notable for being the son a priestess (who don't habitually marry or have children) and Sunak is notable for having a priestess for a wife. I also think Sunak is just very sociable, unlike his son. He has a lot of connections. Tuvok has had a turbulent relationship with his father that's gone through a lot. Now, Tuvok is very dutiful with regards to his father. He's the prodigal son after all but there were several periods of them not speaking and the disownment and the quitting Starfleet BUT...before all that Sunak would spoil him so much. His only child <3 When Sunak would come home from Starfleet missions he'd have several gifts for Tuvok (justified as an attempt to expand his horizons and get him more interested in joining Starfleet). As a small child Tuvok would huff and run away from and generally be cold to him for a day or two before warming up again. When he grew older he accepted the gifts right away - listless and polite. Tuvok always knew he wanted more than one child once he knew he wanted children at all, so they'd never be alone. And because of how he was raised he has confidence that he doesn't need to be there physically all the time for them to grow into good people. Though he'd of course prefer to be there. Him leaving the temple to pursue a life with T'Pel also ties into how he was raised - putting his family before his work as his parents didn't.

KAI SMITH flip (caregiver-leaning!)

Kai Ninjago Smith is ABSOLUTELY an age regressor are you KIDDING me are you JOKING me. He is BASICALLY CANONICALLY an age regressor!!!!

"I bet he loves being treated like a baby..." (Nya, Season 14, Episode 6, Call From The Abyss)... Yeah he does because he IS a baby. He is THE baby. He is BABY.

His entire traumatic backstory is that, after his parents were taken from him from an early age, he had to step into a parental role for his little sister and become the adult of the family while still being a child himself. He had to grow up before he even really had a chance to grow at all. On-screen, we see that once his parents return and he's no longer forced into that role of responsibility, he canonically regresses into childish habits and language we have never before seen him use or display beforehand.

"Ham and cheese sandwiches with crispy bacon? Oh thanks, Mommy! You're the best! Mm... bacon is the best, too!" (Kai, Season 14, Episode 6, Call From The Abyss).

Conclusion? Kai Smith is the most age-regressor to ever age regress ever I will not take criticism because I am OBJECTIVELY CORRECT.

Anyway!! I think Kai is regresses from 5-9~ years old. We can tell from his diction that he doesn't seem to be a baby regressor (at least in this scene), as he's capable of fully-formed sentences and has the cognitive skills required to play video games, so that leads me to believe he might be a little-middlespace regressor! Kai's parents left when he was around 5, so it makes sense he wouldn't be an infant regressor, but around the little-middle spectrum, regressing into the same range of years in which he didn't have a chance to be a child before.

I don't just think he's an age regressor, though, I also think he's a flip, too! He definitely has some care-giving tendencies built-in to him from having to be a caretaker for his little sister for so many years, and so he pretty naturally slips into the role of a big brother caregiver! I imagine he leans more towards the caregiving side then the regressing side, just because being a caregiver is what he's used to being - what he's always had to be - but that may be prone to change as he becomes more comfortable with his regression! He hates regressing around the other age regressors, especially when they're regressed, because he feels like when they're small he has to be big and adult to take care of them regardless of his own headspace. We can see his caregiver tendencies displayed in... countless interactions with Lloyd. Speaking of...

LLOYD MONTGOMERY GARMADON age regressor!

I am, once again, OBJECTIVELY correct. Lloyd is basically canonically an age regressor. He IS canonically an age regressor. He is, quite literally, a child stuck in a teenager's body -- as in he was a child and then magic age-up tea turned his body into a teenager's but still left him with the mental capacity of a child. Which is the DEFINITION of what an age regressor is!! Bodily an adult but mentally a child!! He IS an age regressor!!!!

And even if that WASN'T the case, he'd probably be an age regressor anyway, because, like. Look at him. He had the weight of the world on his shoulders since he was, like, eight, was unable to be a child because he had to endure constant rigorous training and when he WASN'T training he was undergoing countless traumatic experiences while he was still a child.

Lloyd: Well...The latest issue of Starfarer just came in at Doomsday Comix and it's a limited run, so if I don't go out and get it, it's going to sell out. Last they left off, intergalactic rogue Fritz Donnegan was surrounded by the Imperial Sludge, and if I don't find out if he gets out alright, I think I might have my own doomsday! Kai: The fate of Ninjago rests on your shoulders. As the Green Ninja, you have a giant responsibility to hold. I'm sorry, but you don't have time for such childish things. Lloyd: Other kids get to play and have fun. All I ever do is train...(Season 2, Episode 18, Child's Play)

I don't even think I need to argue my case that hard for why Lloyd is an age regressor. I think it'd be harder to argue why he ISN'T an age regressor, actually. TRY to argue that he's not an age regressor. TRY. I BET you CAN'T.

I don't have much evidence for this one, but I imagine he may be a pet regressor, too! He's an oni-dragon-hybrid, after all, and his heritage have proven to come with strong instincts regarding this animalistic half of his genes, as seen throughout the Oni Trilogy. Even if he doesn't have any physical traits, it's likely he at least has psychological ones. I imagine he growls, gnaws on things, et cetera!

COLE BROOKSTONE caregiver!

Look at him. JUST LOOK AT HIM. The most caregiver to ever caregive ever forever. He has chronic can't-stop-adopting-children syndrome. He's adopted, like, three separate children at this point. It is becoming a problem.

"Huh? Oh, no. Don't make that face. Don't cry. Oh, I can't take it any more. Hey, look at me. Hehe. Yeah. I'm not sad. Ha-ha, I'm not crying. Oh, fine. But this is between you and me. Shine, little glow worm, glimmer glimmer. Hey there, don't get dimmer, dimmer. You like that, huh? Well, there's more where that came from. Glow, little glow worm. Glow and Glimmer—" (Cole, Season 8, Episode 5, Dead Man's Squall)

When his mentor canonically (mentally & physically) regressed into an infant his first and immediate instinct was to adopt and care for them. If that isn't agere caregiver behaviour I don't know WHAT is. HE BECAME THE FATHER TO AN INDIVIDUAL REGRESSED FROM THEIR NORMAL HEADSPACE INTO A CHILD.... HE'S LITERALLY A CAREGIVER GUYS!!!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU WANT ME TO SAY!!!!!!! I AM JUST STRAIGHT-UP CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!

JAY WALKER padded regressor!

Jay: Aah! [He picks up a ruined stuffed toy.] Mister Cuddlywomp… [sobs] is a teddy bear I used to love when I was five, but now he's totally lame and—

Cole: We know you still sleep with him.

Jay: And I don't care who knows it! Mister Cuddlywomp... (Season 7, Episode 6, The Attack)

Jay Walker is DEFINTELY a regressor. His personality has been noted to be very child-like and babyish at times, to the point where the fandom (and showwriters) tend to infantilize him, despite the fact that in his own right he can be a very serious character when he need be. As much as I do believe he's an age regressor, it's important to remember he can be very capable and competent character when he's big, too, and not to define him by his regression!

If he's any regressor, it's definitely a padded regressor. Throughout the show, it's become a running bit that he's a bedwetter and has a weak bladder:

Jay: But I don't wanna get wet. I...I only have one pair of underwear.

Kai: Jay, this is no time to be making jokes. The Bounty can only take so much.

Jay: You think I'm trying to be funny? (Season 2, Episode 9, The Last Voyage)

Harumi: Uh, forgive me, but is that... underwear?

Jay: We're usually more organized. Ahem. But our leader got lost in a time-stream. Uh, they're Cole's.

Cole: They're blue!

Kai: You're lucky they're not yellow. (Season 8, Episode 3, The Oni & The Dragon)

Jet Jack: Then tell us, who do these diapers belong to?

Kai: Oh, those are Jay's. Tell 'em, Jay.

Jay: Oh. I have a weak bladder. (Season 9, Episode 2, Iron & Stone)

These are only a few of many, many examples (You can find others throughout the show, such as in Only One Can Remain, The Darkness Remains, Darkness Within, etc) of this bit, and though it's usually spun as a joke, there's no harm and shame in it! I imagine the ninja do actually buy him diapers, and as much they tease and prod, they never actually judge him whenever he has an accident!

ZANE JULIEN caregiver!

"I was built to protect those who can't protect themselves!" (Zane, Season 3, Episode 8, The Titanium Ninja)

I don't know what else you want me to say guys... he said so himself.,,,,,,. was built to protect those who can't protect themselves...,.....

Zane's entire identity is hinged around adaptability. Though I could go on a WHOLE 'NOTHER ESSAY about Zane's relationship with identity, the point here is that he often adapts to what people need him to be! I mean, he downloaded thousands pieces of detective media onto his hardware in order to try to track down the other ninja after they went missing, if called for I imagine he could very easily slip into the role of caretaker (he WOULD download hundreds of resources on age regression to help the other ninja)!

I don't have a lot of evidence for this one beside source: bro trust me but bro. trust me. The Vibes,,,, theyre there

These are just my personal headcanons based on evidence I've gathered from the show - I am in NO WAY saying these are the only headcanons or that they are the "correct" ones!! In fact, if you have DIFFERENT headcanons for the ninja (esp. ones I didn't provide a lot of detail for), I encourage you to share them in the tags, I'd love to hear other's opinions!!!! ^^

If this gets enough interested, I might make a pt. 2, so stay tuned!!

I have seen the algorithmic abyss… and I brought pasta.

HELLO? TUMBLR? IT’S ME. YOUR PROBLEM CHILD.

After five years of being the funniest, sexiest, most emotionally unstable side blog in existence, Tumblr said:

“What if… you simply didn’t exist?”

So now we’re here.

Welcome to Creepypastabilities — the disgraced celebrity cousin of Menacing-Manicotti.

We got shadowbanned so hard, even Slenderman couldn’t find us.

I stared into the algorithm.

The algorithm stared back.

Then it called me slurs and kicked me into the content abyss.

But did I give up?

No. I made a new blog and gave it another pasta pun name. Now that’s resilience.

If you’re from the old blog, welcome back.

If you’re new: grab a seat, grab a knife, and try not to fall in love with Jeff the Killer like it’s 2009 all over again.

Reblog to help this poor haunted lasagna of a blog escape algorithm jail.

Or don’t. I’ll just start whispering into your walls at night.

Ame Vampire AU: Background & Basic Info

Ame was born into a poor family in Japan, sometime in the Edo period. Her father was a hard-working man that was rarely at home, and her mother was often overridden by her depression and the fact that she never wanted to give birth to Ame.

Needless to say, her situation ended up growing abusive, very much like in canon, her parents were pretty neglectful and from time to time, her mother beat Ame to let out her own frustrations. That's it, until a vampire woman killed her parents.

A famous Oiran from Yoshiwara (present-day Tokyo) with the name of Mitsu happened to be a vampire that fed and killed the poor, being easier targets due to people usually not having many familiar connections nor having people that would miss them if they were gone.

At that moment, Ame was both, lucky to be left alive, but also unfortunate to be picked by the vampire to be exploited.

Ame was pretty much raised among the Oiran as an apprentice for Mitsu, trained in the arts to become a courtesan of her own, and it was only once she managed to become one, that Mitsu turned Ame into a vampire at her 19 years of age, that way becoming her sire.

Ame was a survivor, but she hated the line of work, so more than once before she tried to run away with little success, with Mitsu finding her back all the time and bringing her back.

As time passed, Mitsu would take Ame with her to any party or celebration there was in the apparent secret vampire society, overseas as well, even if the girl hated them and would prefer to spend time on her own. Unfortunately, Mitsu would be killed by vampire hunters down the line, surprisingly protecting Ame so she could be the one to run away and survive.

Later in her life, Ame would meet a young vampire huntress that she would enslave and get attached to. Being so lonely, she developed feelings and a dependency of her, but it only ended with a heartbreak when another vampire of bigger power beat her and took away the only thing she had.

Fast-forward into the present, her fight with the higher vampire left Ame living more pathetically. She didn't care about going out, or hunting properly. She lost power from being badly fed and mainly preys on animals, and compared to other vampires, she doesn't have any special power like Remilia's fate manipulation or Neo's illusory powers.

More often than not, she simply lives as a shut-in that gets what she wants with the abuse of her vampire hypnotism.

-----

Her basic list of vampire powers include (if needed, more will be added in the future):

Turning into a bat, or a swarm of bats.

Turning into a black panther or a black cat.

Turning into mist.

Hypnotism.

Dream invasion.

Super strength and super speed, higher senses.

Basic pyrokinesis (lighting candles or small fires).

In her weakened condition, she usually can only turn into a bat herself, a black cat and mist. Can still use hypnotism but dream invasion becomes a hassle, and her strength and speed are lower (still higher than the average human, but still weak in comparison to a healthy vampire).

Obviously, she's weak to silver, it can kill her if she's stabbed with a silver weapon, and is allergic to touching silver-covered items. She also gets burnt by the sun, but it's never a sudden combustion, just a slow and painful way to get hurt and killed (if she was to stay under it for long enough). If damaged with these, it takes longer to recover.

Her bite injects a substance that relaxes the body of the victim and works as an aphrodisiac, that way making it feel good for the victim and wanting them to come back or get hooked. As as side-note for vampire bites, their bites aren't going to turn a human into a vampire- they have to consciously choose to inject another substance, some kind of 'poison' that infects people to become vampires too.

If her vampire blood is consumed by a human, the human gets a high from it, and is highly addicting. It's used to turn a human into a vampire thrall, and if consumed too much, the human becomes a ghoul.

It's also to note that Ame is infertile due to her undead nature. Vampires 'reproduce' by stealing children or babies to raise as their own, before also turning them into vampires for their families.

So... What happens to Haruka, Shidou, and Mahiru in Myosotis based on canon?

Why are you making me post angstttttt, haven’t we been through enough !!! Asdfsd but thank you for the ask, I hadn’t considered this as an option so it was really interesting to consider this new turn of events in the au 👀

Character death discussion under the cut :(

My original plan for Myosotis involved all of Milgram taking place within a single moment in normal-world-time on a Wednesday night. It definitely was real, (like, it wasn’t ambiguous whether it was a dream), so the prison executions would be the true experience for the prisoners. The last and only thing they remember is that death, at the hands of Es and the voices. They have no idea that the real world shifts around them to create a believable reason they never woke up the next morning. 

When I first came up with the theory at the very beginning of the project, I wasn’t considering anyone dying this early in the trials, so I’m shifting things around a bit to distinguish the two. That previous method now applies to the current three deaths, and the executions actually happen after the guilty character has woken up. This means the Milgram execution was more for our/Es’ experience, since the prisoners forget about it as soon as they wake. (And then die within the day in the real world.)

I wanted to stay true to the method of death, so I avoided suicide/murder for the real-world execution counterparts. It was meant to be Milgram’s inevitable punishment, existing above emotions or natural consequences, so I pictured all freak accidents that have no other effect except to kill the intended prisoner and not create any new murder investigations. However, these three prisoners did have very human and emotional deaths, so I’m debating on how much I want events to spill into the real world… I guess there could be homicides that are just so odd that it’s impossible to get any leads, and the investigation sputters out quickly.

Some ideas for canon deaths/final guilty possibilities:

Haruka: Time of death in the middle of the night, never woke up the following day. Though his family couldn’t remember him collecting any materials, it’s clearly suicide.

Yuno: Misstep causes a fall from too high a height.

Fuuta: Room caught fire – officials believe a spark from faulty computer wires caused it.

Muu: Bee sting allergy is obviously the most fitting but it also felt a little cheesy comparatively? I was also thinking drowning since the hourglass had a feel of suffocation.

Shidou: Is found in the morning, stabbed, though there was no evidence of anyone breaking into his bedroom or home.

Mahiru: Similarly, she’s found dead in her own bed without any signs of struggle, somehow beaten to death. 

Kazui: Choking on a bite of apple – somewhere public but he was unable to speak out to get help.

Amane: Faulty wiring in the house causes an electrocution accident.

Mikoto: Fell off the platform as the train was coming into the station.

Kotoko: Animal attack seems the most expected, but I also considered a heart attack or something from overwork after she pushes too hard during a workout.

Out of everyone (All the beasts and ancients) who would you say had the most trauma?

"I... wouldn't be able to answer that. I just know my experiences, and the rest has been told to me in confidence, so I can't share it with you.

"Going off of the knowledge the general public knows, though... perhaps Golden Cheese? She lost her entire kingdom and created a facsimile of a world for their souls to inhabit - then, just as she was learning to move forward and work through viable options to revive her citizens, she has to deal with the Beast of Destruction.

"But from what I know... she didn't let that stop her. It's a thing I admire about Golden Cheese. She doesn't back down from a foe, no matter what! She faces her challenges with a wink and a smile, no matter the situation!

"...Maybe that's what drew Burning Spice's attention, too."
