Dungeon Meshi Horror of the Heights Au

presenting!

Thistle as- Joyce-Armstrong!

Joyce-Armstrong was clearly good friends with Lieutenant Myrtle, and he was not satisfied with the explanation of Myrtle's death. Like our intrepid protag, Thistle is rich, capable, determined, and off-putting! He wants to know what really happened to Degal in this au, taking him to the air.

King Degal as(please let these aviators not be based on real people)- Lieutenant Myrtle!

Thistle in cannon is searching for Degal alive, in this story, Degal probably learned to fly with thistle and they became like brothers. When Degal fell from his plane without a head after a series of similar accidents with other aviators, Thistle was not satisfied with the explanation given, they are convinced something more sinister is afoot, past the point of reason, obsessed with the circumstances of Degal's death.

Falin as- Perkins, the mechanic!

Thistle saw how good Falin was with machinery and planes in a situation having to do with whatever the main gang is doing in early 1920s aviator/investigative reporter land. He employed her under much duress to be his mechanic cuz he needs only the best of the best quality plane and plane service to make his journey to the upper atmosphere. Her friends and family are a bit concerned, but glad she has such a cushy job now!

The Island Lord as- The farmer, Mathew Dodd

Island lord owns island where dungeon is. Farmer owns farm where mystery is found. Nuff said.

Kabru as- The Narrator!

A tale requiring a deep understanding of all those involved and some good ole fashioned investigating/ snooping? I admit I was tempted to make Laois the narrator as it's about monsters being discovered, but come on! A dramatic tale of adventure and woe designed to earn the people of a new threat most would disregard? Kabru literally made one in cannon.

Laois as- James Flynn, agricultural laborer!

idk man. Back then farmer was kinda a basic job and we all know Laois is kinda a loser. (No flack to farmers). I was originally gonna give this to Kabru since he's the mystery investigating guy and James Flynn is the one who finds the site but like, idk. He made a better narrator.

Marcelle as- Dr. T. H Antherthon!

She probably has a phd. Only problem is why she gave that book to eh Canaries. Perhaps they took it from her? Like some of the chapters where she meets them (avoiding saying spoilers)

The Canaries as- The London Aero Club!

Idk man. Fancy organization that oversees the aviators of this land. Canary core.

I only put characters in roles I thought would suit them. Mabye somewhere along the way drifting Laois ended up employed at a farm, maybe he's saving up enough money to hire a new mechanic after his sister got poached by Thistle, who knows. There ain't a lot of main characters cuz there ain't a lot of roles and I ain't about to put someone somewhere they ain't suited to. Anyways the demon is those giant purple things. Hehe.

Anyways go read horror of the heights it's a great short horror story. Also does this imply Senshi is just chilling in the clouds? Yes. Yes it does. Don't ask how he's busy drying out air jellies.

[melomancy]

the atrocious wuthering heights casting…the tragic choice of making basil and dorian siblings…guillermo del toro’s frankenstein is the last hope for a good gothic novel film adaptation

do you think that because sanses are so short that nightmare’s castle is like. just downscaled a little. like the counters and drawers and cabinets fit perfectly for sanses but for someone who’s like 5’8 it’s like a children’s playhouse

”—ah. seems like mother goose has been playing around in your egg salad. if you won’t dance to that tune, I got others.”

honestly, the would you kindly scene is whatever to me*, code yellow is the more interesting violation/betrayal of the body because of how beautifully it escalates the Fontaine reveal/betrayal and shows how ugly some of those ‘locks and keys’ that Tenenbaum mentions are. not only have you been a tool in another man’s hand this entire time, it goes deeper. your body is not your own.

*there used to be a meandering thought here about the would you kindly scene, but it was really just talking around the fact that I spent way too many years seeing people discuss it in the most insufferable and reductive ways possible when it’s a combination of three or four other things that make that moment compelling lmao

While Phee is a deeply kind person, good luck to anyone who dares to threaten her family.

Think of sharing all the bad sanded heights in comparison to motti? Cuz Christ they’re big

I mean two outta the three are.... but Killer has a big ego so I guess that makes up for it??? 🧐

Updated: Nightmare added and Horror's height

[auspicioustidings]

Your boyfriend convincing you to go caving, easing you into it even though you find it fucking terrifying. He's so good at talking you into things, so sweet with you. You just feel so bad saying no when it upsets him, when you know he feels like you don't care about him enough to try his hobbies.

NOTHING GOOD BEYOND THIS LINE, WE ARE TALKING RAPE, MURDER THE WORKS

Ghost would like to say you were too easy, but it took him fucking forever to get you here. You were more resistant than the others, had a better head on your shoulders.

But the sight of you, arms crushed to your sides stuck in that little passageway and lower half still hanging out, was worth every single gaslighting technique.

You're panicking he knows. Of course you are, being stuck here is horrifying. And by now maybe you are calming down enough to try figure out where this tunnel leads, if you can shimmy through since you can't move back with that weird bump in the tunnel stopping you. Maybe your little head lamp is giving you just enough visibility to catch glints of the others.

None of them were good enough in the end. After he had fucked their trapped bodies he had shoved them through, left them as another failed attempt at romance.

But you? What is it about you? Maybe it's how you don't fight when he starts pulling your trousers off. The others kicked and screamed when they realised just what kind of man their boyfriend was. Maybe it's how long it even took to get you here because you always had that little bit of yourself that knew what he was, and yet you stayed anyway. Maybe it's how fucking good your pussy is. Wet and warm and welcoming him even now, perfect little cave for his cock to get stuck in.

He pulls you out of the tunnel before he's even pulled out of yours. Fucks you properly against the wall of this larger chamber.

You're the first girlfriend to ever leave this cave. That means he is never letting you go.

Sofie Plays KinitoPet: Comic Edition

KinitoPet wasn't a game I was really able to liveblog like Slay the Princess, but I made some goofy sketches of the experience! There's oodles of additional comics under the Read More!

(The camera app genuinely bugged out and wouldn't show anything at this part--- my tech incompetence seems to be bleeding out into how KinitoPet.EXE is able to run on my computer)
