#holy shit lore.....

[tadc-harlequin-au]

okay, weird hypothetical question relating to ur au character guideline thing lol

Would all robots be considered puppets, or is a puppet a specific classification of robot because of the D.I.E. mechanism?

Im having a brain blast rn because of your recent Ragatha post and I'm SCHEMING

not all robots are considered Puppets, as there are other types of robots in this AU such as Marionettes, or the Mechanical Wonders.

If that's still confusing, here is a guideline:

Puppets:

mechanical beings created to take care of humanity's labor.

Powered by souls of coerced "volunteers", placed inside a DIE.

lead by a line of command/s called "directive".

they have psuedo-thoughts derived from their soul hosts (but not influenced by the host itself, as the host is trapped within the DIE), in order to be able to approach their jobs with the utmost efficiency.

Their purpose is to basically minimize break hours, focus on their job, and create the perfect employees who would never say "no" to what their employers/owners demand of them.

Marionettes:

mechanical beings with no thought, no emotions, soul nor will.

simply acts based on algorithms.

hivemind.

absolutely single-minded to the point of being an easy enemy to deal with when alone

What makes the Marionettes so intimidating isn't because they have no souls, it's because if you aren't careful, a Marionette can call for backup if need be, leading to more and more Marionettes piling on you until they overwhelm you in numbers then kill. And they can do that in a couple of minutes to a matter of seconds if you give them the chance.

Mass produced.

created for the sole purpose of erasing humanity's deemed greatest mistake: Puppets.

Until they too, turned on their masters one day out of nowhere.

Mechanical Wonders:

The work of ███ █████ ███████, ███████ ██ ███ █████████████.

Started off as adorable, tiny clockwork scraps of metal junk, then evolved as their inventor did.

Used during the grand opening and runtime of ███ ███████ ██████████ ██████, until it shut down due to the accidental death of the show's main star, ████████ █████████ █ ███████ and ███ █████ ███████'s refusal to cooperate and keep the show running afterwards.

They were then brought back for the grand reopening, side by side with the first Puppet ever created, whom replaced the former showrunner/founder after his untimely death of a heart attack (and was diagnosed prior to this with liver cancer).

Until the first Puppet murder, which not only rendered the Mechanical Wonders useless as they were broken to bits by the Puppet showrunner himself, but it also shut ███ ███████ ██████████ ██████ down for good, as the victim of the murder was the only remaining owner of ███ █████████████, ███ ████ ███████. This then led to a domino effect of becoming the dreadful Puppet war.

The Mechanical Wonders were actually the blueprint to what would eventually become the main Puppet classifications.

some of y’all just don’t like musical steve cause he’s black and you need to just get it over with and say it. like i’ll concede on some things like yes steve has a smaller role in the musical and two-bit has a bigger one whatever. but like movie steve doesn’t get a magical lore dump mixed into the movie that musical steve is lacking. you can use his book lore and add onto it using the lore renni has given us through his costume and similar things. part of being in a fandom is putting in the work. grow up and get over your own biases and realize the value in different interpretations.

From the Archives (31/?) ↳ Emilie Autumn by Ken Settle, Pontiac, MI

These were the photos pitched to Playboy Magazine in 2009/2010. From a Throwback Thursday FB post by the photographer:

"Throwback Thursday!!! I just ran across this old shot from 2009 that Shane Glenn took of me photographing Emilie Autumn at The Eagle Theater in Pontiac, MI. in 2009. This was before I started shooting digital, so I have my circa 1981 Canon F-1s with the old FD lenses, and the ancient (1970s) Canon 533G flash gun!! I was shooting Kodachrome 64 with flash in one body, and available light Fujichrome 400 in the other body. Emilie's publicist had shared with Emilie that I was going to pitch the photos to Playboy, so they let me shoot the whole show. Emilie cooked up a surprise on the encore where she came out topless except for two strategically placed heart-shaped pasties that she made! That surprised the heck out of me, because no one told me she was going to do that! Emilie later told me that she came up with the idea!!! Playboy ended up running the shot!"

↳ includes d(a)emon types, horn shapes, associated colors, sovereigns, and character examples ↳ all info is copied from quiz results

Desire Demons feed on feelings of lust, passion, and desire. Before the Cacophony, most Desire Demons were bound in the Madrigals of A'Xerahn, the Sovereign of Desire, or less frequently, Fel'Ees, the Sovereign of Illusion. ↳ Examples include Gavin, Scorpius, and Pyxis.

Elation Demons feed on feelings of excitement, adrenaline, delight, or happiness. Before the Cacophony, most Elation Demons were bound in the Madrigals of A'Ahnen, the Sonal Sovereign, and Use'Dia, the Magneto Sovereign, among others. ↳ Examples include Bootes, Aldebaran, and Tejat.

Empathy Daemons feed on feelings of caring, love, and compassion. Before the Cacophony, all Empathy Daemons were bound in the Madrigal of E'Laetum, the Sovereign of Empathy. ↳ Examples include Caelum, Regulus, and Polaris.

Fear Demons feed on feelings of fear, panic, nervousness, and embarrassment. Before the Cacophony, most Fear Demons were bound in the Madrigals of N'Dellex, the Sovereign of Dreams, and L'Rhenn, the Sovereign of Warding, among others. ↳ Examples include Normae, Azmidi, and Maasym.

Inchoate Demons can feed on any emotion equally, but in turn, they garner little energy from any particular source, so they must feed constantly. Before the Cacophony, most Inchoate Demons were bound in the Madrigal of Rak'Xit, the Inchoate Sovereign. ↳ Examples include Avior, "Warden," and Reticuli.

Misery Demons feed on feelings of grief, hopelessness, guilt, and shame. Before the Cacophony, most Misery Demons were bound in the Madrigals of Kir'Sha, the Sovereign of Water, and P'Taxeck, the Sovereign of Earth, among other. ↳ Examples include Noas, Tegmine, ad Vela.

Sadism Demons feed on feelings of hatred, malice, and harm. Before the Cacophony, most Sadism Demons were bound in the Madrigal of D'Deridahn, the Sovereign of Gravity, though some were bound to Jad'Zia, the Sovereign of Stealth, among others. ↳ Examples include Vega, Carina, and Volantis.

Serenity Daemons feed on feelings of contentment, peace, relaxation, and ease. Before the Cacophony, most Serenity Daemons were bound in the Madrigal of Min'Ara, the Sovereign of Serenity. All Deathwalkers were once Serenity Daemons. ↳ Examples include Camelopardalis, Crux, and Brachium.

Shock Demons feed on feelings of surprise, confusion, amazement, or wonder. Before the Cacophony, most Shock Demons were bound inthe Madrigals of Z'Tinqin, the Sovereign of Electricity, and Wen'Alak, the Sovereign of Psychokinesis, among others. ↳ Examples include Corvus, Ara, and Antares.

Strife Demons feed on feelings of frustration, anger, disquiet, and disgust. Before the Cacophony, most Strife Demons were bound in the Madrigals of Tal'Ris, the Sovereign of Fire, and S'Thenhin, the Sovereign of Air, among others. ↳ Examples include Musca, Rigel, and Hydra.

➤ NOTE FROM ERIK:

It's important to note, while particular kinds of demons will often share similar personality traits, those aren't uniform. And a demon that feeds on a particular kind of emotion doesn't have to be inherently representative of it. Sadism Demons don't have to be cruel. Empathy daemons don't have to be kind. While some choose to amplify their particular food source of emotion in a person, they can actually absorb that emotion from them instead and help relieve a person of it, if they wish. Just like humans, demons come with all sorts of personalities, preferences, and goals!
