just putting down some thoughts for my db s/i, mozzarella (i don't really feel comfortable posting any artwork yet, so i figured i would try to put it in words first !!)
head's up, this is a really long post!
tw // brief mention of sex
backstory ig idk lol:
i don't really have much in the lines of backstory (this is mostly because i haven't finished DB Super yet and i'm not that knowledgeable of how DB's world works lol). but i do like the idea of mozzarella just being a homebody that has a garden and makes a living by selling their fruits n veggies. they met goku at a farmer's market and really hit it off from there !! it was love at first sight with goku ^-^ they are also a shapeshifter and just kind of. exist ! (i looked up shapeshifting on the db wiki and apparently there was a shapeshifting school ? i might incorporate that when i do my full db watch !) one idea that i have is that mozzarella had a previous form but eventually chose to stay permanently in their rat form. it's the form that makes them most comfortable. it took them a while to get used to their current form, but after a while, it became their default form. they aren't opposed to taking other forms for fun ! there is no limits to their shapeshifting ability, but bigger and more complex forms can be very exhausting. still, their shapeshifting isn't 100 perfect either; sometimes, if they aren't focused (which is often), the form they take will sometimes have large rat ears, a long rat tail, or huge whiskers ! typically, mozz will only shapeshift certain parts of their body for convenience's sake. for example, they'll transform their arms into huge bat wings in order to fly around quickly. this doesn't take up more energy to do.
design:
i don't think there's any design variations from my actual sona. mozz will still be relatively average height (shorter than goku but taller than vegeta). they might be a little bit furrier and have a longer tail, but that's about it. oh, and they'll probably fit more into the style of DB/DBZ.
personality:
personality wise will be very consistent with my sona (and myself too). ditzy and easily confused but kind-hearted. does their best to be a good person but worries excessively about how people perceive them. a little weirdo for sure lmfao. the only interesting thing i might have to think about is the idea that saiyans are wired to be attracted to "strong" partners (vegeta said 'women' specifically but i'm just gonna say that gender doesn't matter here shhhhh). i don't know if mozzarella is particularly "strong" or "hot-headed" in the same why bulma and chichi and videl is (or, in videl's case, used to be). i'm leaning towards "no, they aren't;" they're probably pretty passive and typically go with the flow. still, they can be incredibly snarky at times and can come off as a bit of a know-it-all (intentionally or not). i think there is an inner strength there but it doesn't manifest in the same way that it does for the main DB girlies. still, mozzarella will throw hands if needed and does not take shit from anyone LMFAO. bascially "i'm not a fighter but don't test me." even if goku is the strongest in the universe, mozz will be more than ready to beat a mf up to defend him (they fucking HATEEE it when people disrespect goku, it's like their no. 1 pet peeve. they'd probably start crying but will still beat a mf up if needed.)
changes to the canon:
this is gonna be difficult to touch on because i haven't really figured it out in my head yet. the main difficulty is gonna stem from chichi. i love chichi to pieces (all chichi haters will die by my blade), so i don't want her to like. not exist LOL. i also don't want them to have gotten a divorce around the time that goku and mozzarella meet. my solution is that chichi and goku just never got together. basically, the "promise" that goku made to chichi was that they would meet again in the future (not that he would marry her) and that promise was fulfilled when they fought at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. they're just good friends and sparring partners. ofc, there's the question of gohan and goten existing, and i want them to exist !! an idea that i have is that goku and chichi slept together a few times in the past and thus, gohan and goten. i haven't decided why yet (failed relationship that ended amicably ? maybe chichi or goku or both wanted kids and they trusted each other enough to want to have children with each other ? they were just fooling around ?), but regardless, gohan and goten DO exist, and all of the events in DB and DBZ/Kai did happen as they normally would, just less gochi (i still <3 gochi tho). oh, and i imagine goku just has his own separate place and doesn't live with chichi. goten lives with her (gohan is grown and already left), and goku lives nearby so he can help out whenever he can. (mozz thinks he's a really good dad ^o^)
mozzarella's inclusion in the canon:
so my idea is that mozzarella and goku met sometimes during Super. the idea is that goku is a farmer (i think this concept was introduced in super) and uses the money for himself and for chichi and goten (both he and chichi work). considering both he and mozz sell their crops at the farmer's market, my idea is that they met here. basically, mozz was not involved in any of the crazy shit goku got up to prior to Super. after meeting, mozz was quickly introduced to goku's main circle of friends and was quickly swept up into all of the craziness goku got himself into. this includes meeting beerus and whis, golden freiza, universe 6, etc. also, bulma quickly ran mozz up to speed on everything that has ever happened to them pre-Super, so while they were pretty skeptical at first, they quickly believed her (mostly due to bulma's birthday party fiasco).
i'll stop this post here since it's getting pretty long, but the reblog is gonna focus on mozz's relationships with everyone else, including goku !!

I have had this certain itch to say this. I'm surprised you never got mad or despised Naff for being more well-known about a dca detective au and people stealing your designs to make fanart for her
I had to think over how to respond to this ask because by all means I didn't want to give a quick answer and dip without leaving things properly, genuinely answered or explained. I'd like to minimize any misinterpretations or misunderstandings :<
I think the best way for me to properly address this is to section it into 2 parts? One part for how I feel about Naff and the second part for how I feel about some of my designs being used without credit! Also sorry for any messy typing as admittedly I'm nervous typing all of this out after so much time has passed and I haven't really thought about this in eons FHSKJDHFSDGJKHJF
Long body of text warning So I'll place down a 'keep reading' down here! v
I want to answer this ask truthfully on my experiences and how I overcame this, what my mindset was then, and what it is now.
So! First part- Naffeclipse! Right off the bat I want to say that, no, I don't hate or despise Naff. Yes, I used to feel hurt by how they used my work, but I don't feel that way anymore. I think you're the first ever person to have asked me anything regarding this in almost two years. If I'm honest, no one online has ever made a comment regarding this so I was a little surprised! I began the DCA Detectives and dubbed it "Sleuth Jesters" in my original post back in mid-June 2022. And from there the concept's popularity kinda exploded.
I'm proud of Naff for the wide range of followers, love and support that they've cultivated using my au, and I don't want to take away from the fact that yes, the story, the world, the character interpretations they created was all their own work! That's something i want to make known first and foremost. That is all 100% their own hard work and skill as a writer. And I never want to take credit for that.
Now, I know this may look really unfair and believe me, within the first few months of Sleuth Jesters taking off from not my own platform but from another persons, I thought it was too. I was possibly going through one of my roughest periods, as all of this was very new for me and I had a lot of IRL personal stuff going on at the time. The main reason I hadn't made any remark or mention aside from one post asking for credit the same day I had talked to Naff about it privately in DMS is because I inadvertently developed imposter syndrome with the whole situation, and I privately decided to not work on that au of my own volition and lack of want to continue it on my own terms!
Why did you have imposter syndrome? Well! Because for me personally it was a feeling of 'hey! I know you racked up tons of followers and created a big platform, and you personally put the work into it, but can I please be credited for your hard work? Because they're my initial idea and designs?' was essentially my mindset for months back then, it was a sticky tricky situation! ^^; and it was not very healthy for me.
However I don't want to dive into too many details on my emotional & mental wellbeing during 2023! I was a new artist, and I was absolutely scared I would be the one who would make or initiate the first large discourse within the DCA community if I spoke up about it, possibly receive unwarranted hate or backlash, and I felt the pressure was really on me to keep the peace because as far as I had known, the DCA community hadn't had any 'big drama' since its making during that time.
But! At the same time all of this was happening I moreso delved into making my oc cloud drop + being with friends and having fun, and I simply personally didn't want to continue the AU anymore. It was not entirely due to Naff's usage but also because I simply just didn't have the time or energy for it! That's all there was to it. I struggled yes, sure! but,
What matters to me is not how or what i think or say, but how I choose to act or deal with situations that can be stressful or uncomfortable in the general sense. and despite any negative feelings I may have had, I think kindness can live a lot longer than any hatred ever could. I don't physically have it in me to hate someone or hold a grudge for too long, even in the heat of the moment, and I hope this mentality can be applied to anyone who reads this as well ^.^ Communication is key to me in any relationship, even if i know you or don't know you! And if you are not willing to make that effort in talking or speaking up it will negatively affect you in the long run. And I made that mistake by waiting for too long! sorry that was cheesy haha but its a personal mindset i live with.
So to answer the first part of the question, yes I used to be upset, but I'm not anymore.
What about the people who used your design(s) to make fanart for her?
wwweell, ill admit this was actually one of the bigger things that hurt me the most at the time, Nowadays I am being more properly credited, even if there's a few people who forget to credit me I wont take it personally. It's a much better improvement compared to when I hadn't spoken at all about it.
It's already gotten to a point where its thousands of people who associate the fanart to their fiction, and even if it wasn't with my permission at the time, it is now! We can't really force or change what happened in the past but at the v least I hope those who will make fanart are a little more aware of who to give their credits to! I still enjoy seeing everyone's art! ^^
tl;dr, i was really sad and hurt by it at the TIME, and yes it messed me up but not once did I despise Naff as person at all. Everything's all good now and I'm doing much better and all I can ask for now is the continued credit for at least my au and my designs ♡
And i very VERY VERY much urge you all TO NOT give any animosity towards naffeclipse as I already know they did not mean any of this in any ill will at all since the beginning, and we both already talked about it mid last year c:>

Ira, Archivist OC
Tumblr media
She/her/they/them, demi girl god. Eda Raises Two Gods AU Masterpost
Ira is a nebula based Archivist, so I got to go crazy with the hair and the patterns, it was really fun, especially the bottom angry one. Ira means watchful and is the name of a sky goddess in Polynesian mythology.
Ira is the archivist who took the collector we know and love, Enzo in my AU, under their wing and raised them. Enzo was born out of a nebula eons after it first formed. Ira taught them how to be a good archivist, how to tend to the archives and how to interact with mortal species. Ira was the only archivist at the time suited to raising a Nova*, and the others who didn't have higher responsibilities couldn't care less for the little kid who would tattle to Ira whenever they did something she didn't like.
Since Ira is extremely patient and nurturing, they were put in charge of the Main Archives from a relatively young age, annoying her peers since they were unable to hang out like they did before and making them a little jealous Ira advanced so quickly.
The Archives have many living creatures and environments in biomes that need to be monitored and cared for attentively, so an archivist like Ira was perfect for the position due to her being nebula based instead of star or planet based. (Nebulae are sometimes called star nurseries cause they are where new stars form).
Ira mainly stays in the Archives taking care of the creatures and the records, since stories and cultures are equally as important as species are, they don't go out collecting species much because they believe they shouldn't actively intervene in mortal affairs unless absolutely necessary. She does go out to collect culture records, she likes to do that a lot, she's a story teller at heart.
She's very passive and encourages others to be since it causes less problems, after all how many species have had to be removed for knowing to much because of their premature intervention. This is part of why she and Themis don't get along anymore.
Themis is the red star archivist.
This one:
Tumblr media
yeah, her and Ira do not get along anymore. They didn't get along well before the Titan incident, and it got way worse after that. There is a lot of bad blood between them. It's Themis Ira is pissed at in the image.
They will continue the tradition in this fandom of having duos being mapped onto "Two Birds on a Wire", that song feels like it was made for TOH.
Here's a look at my design for Themis, I only have a side view cause this is for an animatic I'm working on.
Tumblr media
I'll give them a proper design soon, the goal is to get a sort of ring leader type of vibe. I hope it works here.
Themis is very fun character to play with.
Ira cared for Enzo to the best of her ability until scheming from Themis got in the way. To protect them from having to deal with the ramifications of Themis's actions, Ira suggested that Enzo go explore a planet near her claimed section of the cosmos, do a little exploration on their own and they could come back later.
She kind of pushed Enzo to leave the Archives, souring their relationship from Enzo's perspective.
After that? Enzo found the Titan's World and the rest is history.
*Nova is what young archivists are called, based on a fun little idea I had a while ago about the Archivist. Our collector is who Ira is referring to in the right side pic, they haven't gotten the Enzo name yet.

Pleaaase tell me about your favorite GemOc/Sona. I haven't used mine in eons, but I miss the incredible designs and stories people used to put into theirs.
the way i exploded into a million hearts and sparkles and confetti
OKAY SO I GOT LIKE A LOT OF GEM OCS HERE SO I MIGHT RAMBLE
Tumblr media
BUT THE MAIN ONES I LOVE AND HAVE THE MOST LORE FOR ARE: LaLi (Lapis Lazuli, she/her), Pearl (he/him), and Bear (Pink Beryl, they/he) !
Together, they are the Flower Gems—sworn protectors of preserving the Earth's beauty, flora, and fauna.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Putting this under a read more bc i typed a lot <:3c
Starting with my dear LaLi, she was the first gem oc (used to be gemsona) i made back in 2014 !! Here's her most up-to-date visual vs her first one owo
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lapis Lazuli's are my fav gemstones (thanks hamtaro) and i made her before SU Lapis was announced/revealed. LaLi is a friendly gem who loves sparring, human culture, photography, playing the piano, and meeting new beings. She can manipulate both water and sand, but she mainly prefers fighting with her Khopesh sword weapon. She taught herself how to fight by watching some soldier gems during her terraforming days.
She grew a bond with Pearl when she was assigned to aid his superior, Petalite, and wanted to get to know him more. During the time of the rebellion, Petalite abandoned Pearl when their ship was attacked, causing LaLi to whisk Pearl away to Earth away from the danger. There, she and Pearl began to grow closer and find themselves in their new world. They even had their first fusion (Prehnite) on Earth !
Tumblr media
She started out pretty silent and observant, but she soon blossomed into an outgoing type who wants to fight for her friends (and fight in general, she loves to fight). She's still very much observant tho, making sure their world is free from dangers and her buddies are doing okay, becoming the de facto leader of the Flower Gems.
---
Next up, we have my second gem oc (also used to be gemsona) Pearl ! I created Pearl before there were any lore or information that there were other Pearls as well as Pearl being my birthstone and another favorite gemstone of mine :3
I haven't made a new visual for him, but here's his sort of up-to-date visual vs his first one
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
At first, Pearl's lore was that he was a Homeworld Gem that had a past with LaLi and came down to Earth to retrieve her. He was sort of an antagonist to her. Now, as explained above, he was saved by LaLi and lived life with her on Earth to protect it's life. He was a self-proclaimed Fire Flower Knight.
Pearl is a somewhat snooty and arrogant gem who likes to keep up appearances and make sure everything is in proper check if LaLi is off doing her own thing. He can manipulate fire/heat and has a Glaive weapon. He's pretty hard to read and doesn't like to hang out with other as much as LaLi does, but he does like spending time with her, playing the violin, and sparring. Once you get to know him, he's pretty soft and kind and deathly afraid of rabbits. He's usually in charge of doing retcons and keeping maps and charts of places they've been.
Tumblr media
Overall, Pearl is a pretty loyal gem who grew to be his own being and not allow to be controlled or shaped to fit anyone that didn't allow him to just be himself.
---
Lastly of the trio, we have Bear ! They also lack an updated ref, but here's their most up-to-date visual vs their first one !
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bear's lore is that they were once a scholar gem on Homeworld, tasked with other Beryls to keep track of Gem History and Culture. His rank was pretty high and respected and he played his part and didn't care much for other gems nor the rebellion. However, in some of his notes on Earth where he jotted down it's beauty, the other beryls interpreted as Bear becoming rogue and planned to have him interrogated. Around the same time, he encountered another former high ranking gem, now turned "defect" by the name of Dentritic Agate (Dendé). Long story short, Dendé attacked Bear for being to nosey in his business and the two sort of have a history of not liking each other. They did end up crossing paths on Earth later on.
Tumblr media
Bear ended up on Earth escaping his interrogation where they knew they were going to either get shattered or bubbled forever. Because of this, they were labeled a "traitor" and had a bounty on their head. He ended up getting wrapped up in the Gem War and poofed on the battle field, however, his gem managed to get buried underground for years. Eventually, he managed to reform by tapping into his latent earth manipulation, resurfacing to a new world.
With no one to turn to, Bear isolated themselves from other beings, trusting no one, but found comfort and solace with the Earth and animals around him. They ended up taking up forms of animals he befriended, especially a family of bears he was "adopted" into. He soon encountered humans, but kept his distance. However, these humans were destroying the forest he resided in, so he took on multiple forms of animals to drive them away, soon becoming an urban legend of a Shapeshifting Forest Protector.
Tumblr media
i know i do want to work on his backstory more, but essentially he did end up getting close to a human after saving them and the human pestering them to be friends. Bear watched was there in the human's life watching them grow and have a family until one day their village was attacked and burned to the ground. The human ultimately got caught in cross fire and subsequently died in Bear's presence. Wanting to protect the place this human cared so much about, Bear shapeshifted into a multitudes of beasts and laid waste to the pillagers, but indirectly destroyed what little the village had left.
The remnant of people, including the human's family that survived, connected that Bear was that one myth of the forest, took it as a bad omen, and tried to have him killed. He ended up fleeing and never wanted to get close to humans again. Years later, he was founded by LaLi who was so ecstatic to see another gem and wanted him to join her small gem group of two. At first, Bear was annoyed, but LaLi's continuous pestering reminded him of his late human.
Begrudgingly, he joined her and found home with LaLi and Pearl. He was left alone to his own devices and mainly either stayed in his room or tended the gardens around their base. He tolerated the two and even saw them as family, SOMEWHAT, but he doesn't show it. He does care about them in his own, indirect way, and eventually made it his goal to become stronger to keep those he holds dear safe.
Tumblr media
Oh also, they can manipulate Earth and their weapons are Dual Tonfas nwn they love playing their flute and tending flowers
---
AND THAT'S THE FLOWER GEMS !!! I tried to only get down their main points but man do i have a lot to say that i left out LMAOOO I used to run an ask blog for them years ago, but it's dead <:3c I still keep it around for memory sake <3
Man.... i got so many doodles and AUs and lore for these gems AND the others i haven't mentioned ARGHARGHARGH OTL

An expanded Pantheon of Discord for your consideration! Some taken from canon beings The Doctor has fought, some from Sarah Jane, two are OCs
----------------------------------------------
The Toymaker: The God of Games- We all now know this guy, a crazy giggling madman obsessed with The Rules of Play
Hecuba: The Goddess of Fate- The canonical sister of The Toymaker. I made her The Goddess of Fate since in her one canon appearance she's called The Queen of Time.
Trickster: The God of Traps- Again, a well known one, the archenemy of Sarah Jane, an insane individual who loves chaos
Maestro: The God of Music- The child of The Toymaker who wishes to keep all music for themselves, the parent of Harbinger
Reprobate: The God of Spite- An unknown being, I haven't found anyone who would work as Reprobate except maybe Rassilon?
The Mara: The God of Beasts- A classic Who villain and enemy of The Fifth Doctor
Lucifer: The God of Despair- This is The Beast from The Satan Pit. He's also voiced by Gabriel Woolf, the voice of Sutekh and with Carla mentioning The Beast it felt right to include him. Having him be The God of Despair is from The Beast being called The Prince of Despair by the possessed Ood
Abaddon: The God of Hunger- This is The Beast's child from Torchwood that feeds on life energy and was defeated by Jack's immortality. Feasting on immortality itself seems good for a hunger god
Fenric: The God of Pestilence- Taking a Seventh Doctor enemy described as "an evil from before the universe" and making them one of The Pantheon. Given how Fenric was described, a pestilence deity seemed right
Jester: The God of Fear- The clown creature from Sarah Jane Adventures that feeds on fear and who Mr Smith said came from "the far edges of The Universe". Similar to Abaddon, a being that feeds on fear seems like they'd be a fear deity
Krampus: The God of Trickery- This is actually a canonical member of The Pantheon from a comic who tricks a citizen of Leadworth who Amy and Rory later have to save. He works by tricking people into accepting his gifts to manifest in the physical world
Harbinger: The God of Chance- Yes I'm making Harbinger a god, since the first one we met is the child of Maestro. Now Harbinger is a shapeshifter deity so both Henry and Harriet are the same deity. Their domain is for opening up chances for their fellow deities to emerge
Incensor: The Goddess of Disaster- A canonical member of The Pantheon who we haven't seen yet and I couldn't find an enemy who worked as a Disaster goddess though I wanted to propose the idea that she was the inspiration of Gaia in Greek mythology
Light: The God of Endings- A Seventh Doctor enemy who was said to be "an evil older than time itself" and worshiped as a god. Depicted as being someone obsessed with cataloguing the universe and infuriated whenever anything changes. Seems like he'd make a good God of Endings
Akhaten: The God of Plagues- Taken from the 11th Doctor story The Rings of Akhaten, described by his worshippers as A God but by 11 as a parasitic plague on his people, I think he could work as a trapped and bound God of The Pantheon
Midnight: The God of Shadow- Yes I am making The Creature from Midnight a lesser deity of The Pantheon! What else but an immortal being could survive that sunlight? Maybe it was imprisoned eons ago and all it can do now is hunger and strike from it's domain of shadow, including the shadows of the mind
Kronos: The God of Time- A Third Doctor enemy that claimed to have "known The Doctor of Old" and was "beyond good and evil", a being literally called a God and a destroyer. I think he'd fit well in The Pantheon and leads into Ash's idea of The Doctor being The God of Life. Speaking of which
The Doctor: The God of Life- A mind wiped and banished child god who was found and taken in by The Time Lords. This god was immortal and could bring others back to life (like the butterfly from Space Babies). Trapped by The Trickster and unbound from Time, The Doctor now faces his own family as The Lonely God
Void: The God of Darkness (OC)- I made this sort of a mashup of both The Void, the space between dimensions containing "no light" and Rose in "Turn Left" saying that "The Darkness is coming" almost like The Darkness was a physical being. Void separated a member of his family from the woman he loved out of spite
Sutekh: The God of Death- The supposed "mother and father and other of all" and "the god of gods" himself, master and bringer of ultimate death, the antithesis to The Doctor, God of Life. A being who simply wishes to bring "blessed death to all life"
Precursor: The God of The Unknown and Secrets (OC)- Confession time! I created this God for the sole reason of being able to hide the truth from people by tucking it away "into nothingness and The Unknown". Secrets such as the true origin of Ruby Sunday, the many past lives of The Doctor, the whereabouts of Susan Foreman, the truth of who The Doctor is and (linking in your OC Alex) who Alex's Time Lord ancestor is. They are the Secret Keeper of The Pantheon and allow their fellow gods true intentions to always remain a mystery
Would love to hear your opinions on this!- Loki
Very fascinating! I especially like the idea of a God of Secrets. Honestly, it would fit in very well with the show, and all the secrets and uncertainty surrounding the Doctor!

Fusion Revived - CH 8 (Returning to Normal)
➤ This story is actually complete (finished Sep 2021) over on my Ao3 already; I'm just publishing it here on tumblr too for archival purposes. I hope any and all curious readers enjoy if they haven't checked it out yet!
SUMMARY: Majin Buu has been destroyed, and the Earth has known peace for close to a year now. Life hasn't been too peaceful for the person responsible for saving the world and the entire universe however, but when an ordinary woman meets him one day, things start to change.
RATING: Teen and Up. PAIRING(S): Vegito x OC/Reader, alluded Gochi, alluded Vegebul CONTENT: Canon Divergence, Slow Burn, Friends to Lovers, Family Drama CW(s) THIS CHAPTER: None.
Tumblr media
She sat outside in the same spot they were both in four days ago. There was no idyllic ambience this time, no feeling of peace.
She curled in on herself, with her legs hugged by her arms and her head resting against her bent knees. Miserable couldn’t accurately describe the storm that raged on since she spat fire at the women who ruined her happiness for the sake of their own. Worse than that, they stripped away Vegito’s sense of self, reducing him to a state of oblivion for those who made him to be freed.
She hated it, but she understood why they did it.
It was plain to see back at Capsule Corp, and even disregarding that, anyone with even the smallest degree of common sense would know that they rightfully wanted their husbands to come home. The fathers to their children.
They had families, something she couldn’t completely relate to as she’s never had her own. When Chi Chi claimed that she didn’t know what she was talking about, it held water.
But Vegito…did he ever belong to either of THEIR families? Considering what happened, no. He was stuck in a place where he was indelibly connected to both, but he could never and would never be what Goku and Vegeta were. He had the job of being there for his not-wives and sons, but it was one he was destined to grapple with, and ultimately fail at. That didn’t stop him from trying regardless.
Yet, it wasn’t good enough. Forget what she felt, Vegito was the victim here. Thinking of him as such may come off as she viewing him as some poor, defenseless man, when he was light years away from being such. He was able to take down the very manifestation of evil that had haunted the universe for eons with hardly any trouble. If he could do that, then what couldn’t he do? What couldn’t he reach?
That, was where he became a victim. The possibilities of having those questions explored was cruelly ripped away from him.
There wasn’t even a place she could send her prayers to for his spirit to rest. He didn’t exist anymore, but she still wanted to help him somehow. She wanted to bring him back, in a way where Goku and Vegeta didn’t have to disappear themselves. But was that even remotely feasible…?
She didn’t bother keeping track of the time, too stuck in her musings. She did notice when the air changed however, and someone’s presence was close.
She looked up.
Goku was before her, lowering his hand. He didn’t speak right away, choosing to jab his index fingers together as he self-consciously avoided making eye contact.
“…Hi…it’s me. Goku.”
She mustered a half-hearted laugh.
“I know who you are. Hi.”
He drew back, probably anticipating for she to lash out at him or the like. Seeing as she didn’t, he moved forward with no reluctance and crashed down to sit cross-legged. It’s a position she’s seen Vegito do a dozen times.
“Sorry for…bothering you.” The Saiyan maintained a gentle disposition, both in look and sound. It brought her back to the sparse times when Vegito showed her his soft side, before Vegeta’s influence came in and brought the cautiousness back.
So many comparisons she could make, but in the end, what did it matter?
“I wanted to see how you were doing.”
“…That’s kind of you.” Her head tilted back, to rest against the tree.
“But as you can see, I’m doing terrible. I miss him.”
Straight to the point, she hid nothing and left nothing vague. Talking candidly to Goku came as easy as breathing, in an indescribable but welcomed way.
“I know…this is going to sound weird but…” He rubbed the back of his head.
“I’ve been missing you too, in a way.”
“…Careful there. You ARE married, sir.”
“Heheh!” Goku laughed at her comment, flashing a broad grin. His cheeks were a peachy shade.
“I know! Chi Chi would kill me if she knew that I came here to see you, but I just had to.”
She listened keenly. She felt warm again.
“I have Vegito’s memories, and can remember the emotions he felt in them. Same should go for Vegeta. We both know how much Vegito cared about you, and on my end anyway, those feelings persist in me. It does feel wrong, but…it feels right too.”
Becoming the teeniest-bit uncomfortable at where this was going, she fidgeted but didn’t interrupt. She did latch onto what he said about the fusion having cared for her, apparently by a large margin, if his phrasing meant such. A sense of longing overtook her…
“I don't want to overstep any boundaries, but I do still want to be your friend. It doesn’t matter how Chi Chi would feel about it, or what she would say. I just can't abandon you, not after how you and Vegito bonded... I can't say with certainty that Vegeta feels the same way, but there is a chance. He's even worse with this mushy stuff than I am, so who knows?” He chuckled.
That was sweet. She appreciated that Goku at least wouldn’t cut all ties with her. He and Vegeta weren’t Vegito, but fragments of him in a sense. The only remnants. She would treasure that.
“Hey…Goku? Vegito told me that the fusion was permanent, but obviously it wasn’t. Did the Kais, or whatever they’re called, lie to you?”
“I don’t think so. Elder Kai was pretty convinced once two people fused using potara, that there wasn’t any way for it to be undone. He knew about the dragon balls, but I guess he didn’t consider if they could actually do it.” Goku gazed upwards, and hummed.
“Or, maybe he was aware, but thought that we would be fine existing as a fusion forever. Vegito was the perfect person to guard Earth after all. The best of Vegeta and me put together…”
He frowned. She inquired about his sudden mood drop.
“What’s wrong?”
“…I really don’t like how Chi Chi and Bulma treated Vegito.” He sat up straight. “It was unfair.”
“Tell me about it…” She grumbled.
“Defeating Buu was our number one priority back then. No matter what it took, he needed to be stopped. I told Vegeta there was no going back after we fused, and he still put on the potara anyway. We knew what we were doing, and we thought it would be for the best.”
It was, and it wasn’t. It saved Earth, but it brought pain right into their families.
“Both of our minds came together to form the base of Vegito’s, but he was his own deal. I think of him as a branch off of myself, but also…as a brother too. And kind of a son, in a really weird way.”
“Fusion in general is really weird.” She echoed, relating to his puzzlement.
“I feel bad. Like I failed him somehow, even though there wasn’t anything I could do.”
Goku admitted, and his face lost all of its prior cheerfulness. She related oh so painfully with him there. She was even THERE when Shenron was summoned, but she was too late to stop them from making the wish. She would’ve dealt with two furious, bloodthirsty widows, but she would’ve saved Vegito.
… … …
… … …
…Actually…wait a minute-
“Goku!” Her passionate and unexpected outburst made him jump. She stared at him intensely, hands balled into fists.
“Do you think that we can use the dragon balls to bring Vegito back?”
“…Bring him back? _____, he’s technically not dead, so there’s nothing to bring-”
“That’s not what I mean.” She interjected.
“Can the dragons balls bring him back as his own being, separate from you and Vegeta?”
This made the Saiyan freeze stiff, and wheels turn in his brain. He goggled at her as minutes passed. Anticipation and the smallest flame of hope made her shiver, but she waited as patiently as she could for him to answer.
“I…” Goku’s eyes darted in multiple directions, before settling on her own. “I don’t know. I don’t know how Shenron would make that happen, if he’s even capable of it at all.”
“But, is there a chance?”
“Yes, I have to say so. We won’t know unless we try.”
The wish-granting dragon of Earth could do so much, from wiping memories of a specific event from everyone’s minds around the globe to resurrecting multiple people from the dead at once, but was manipulating reality to this grand of a scale included? But Goku was right, they wouldn’t learn unless they went for it.
She was determined to. This was their only method of returning Vegito to this world, that didn’t involve fusion, and she would take it.
“We have to wait though, since the dragon balls are dormant right now. But Chi Chi and Bulma only used one of the wishes, so we have to wait four months instead of the usual one year.”
Four months? That was too long.
“What about the…namekian dragon balls? Can’t we use those?”
“I already did. I went to Namek yesterday, and used them to revive Vegeta since he was still dead.” Goku sighed.
“They’re dormant now too. We have to wait, and that’s that.”
That was highly annoying, but she guessed it couldn’t be helped. She had to wait four months to see if this ludicrous wish could even come true… Her fingernails dug into her legs out of vexation. At least it was only four months. If she had to wait a year, this agitation would’ve drove her up a hundred walls.
“Alright. Four months, then. I need to see if Bulma will let us have the dragon radar. I’ll ask her.”
“Really? Are you sure? Maybe it’ll be better if I ask.”
“No, I need to be the one. And not because this was my idea.” She breathed out, mulling over how to phrase this.
“Vegito…I have a hunch that she and Chi Chi felt pressured to make that wish because of me. Because of how close he was to me. I guess the both of them felt like they were losing Vegito, or more specifically, losing what was left of you and Vegeta. That must’ve scared them. If I was in their shoes…I would’ve been scared too.”
That was the truth. She didn’t believe she would’ve acted differently from them.
“Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think they felt threatened by ME specifically. More like the fact that…Vegito getting with someone else meant that their relationships with him would be truly over. They couldn’t let that happen.”
She felt weird saying ‘getting with someone else’, because she couldn’t determine if that’s what Vegito intended to do. She didn’t know if he had actual…feelings for her. Feelings like that.
She has realized that she herself is genuinely attracted to him. It’s obvious to her now. It’s stared her in the face, and it took she losing him for it to set in. What she wouldn’t give to hear his wondrous voice again, to see his alluring form, his smirk that got under her skin in such an intoxicating way, and his smile that was absurdly endearing…
Vegito at least liked her in a friendly manner, but anything more was impossible to establish. There was no way for her to know.
Not until he was revived.
“It’s kind of my fault that this happened to him. I need to make things right.”
Black eyes looked into her own, as their owner studied her carefully. With…respect? That was embarrassing, but also, it made her feel proud of herself.
“I understand.” Goku’s toothy grin gave her a confidence boost. “I think Bulma will give you the radar, she doesn’t lose anything by doing it. And when the time comes, I’ll go around the world to get them!”
He jumped up to his feet, fists raised and face shining.
“I have a good feeling about this _____! It’ll work out. I have faith.”
If he has faith, then she should too.
“I gotta get going now. I told Chi Chi I was going out for just a few minutes. See you later!”
She waved just as Goku’s body fizzled away into the air. Her mood was significantly better than it was before he visited, and she’s thankful he did. Their conversation was exactly what she needed, to lose this hopelessness and gain motivation.
She won’t go to Capsule Corp right away, as tensions were likely still high. She’d wait a week at the minimum, and perhaps longer, once she manages to figure out how to tell Bulma her plan.
Additionally, to apologize to her for calling her selfish. It felt good in the moment, but it may have been out of line.
                                                                                                             ༻ ❁ ༺
The smell of something delectable touched his nose with a tantalizing waft as soon as he appeared in his home, and Goku marched straight to the kitchen.
“Chi Chi! I’m home!”
When he entered the room, his wife was standing before their stove covered to the brim with pots and pans, while an assortment of veggies were lined next to her on the counter. His stomach was already growling up a storm, and he would’ve approached her to see just what she was cooking, but he was thrown off by Chi Chi herself.
Son Goku was very perceptive to ki. He was committed to understanding it back in his youth, when he was mentored by Kami and Mr. Popo, and he became somewhat of a master of reading ki when Gohan was born. Being able to gauge someone’s mood, and even their level of health, by how their ki radiated was a skill Goku found very useful, as he wasn’t great at reading the intricacies of body language or more unnoticeable signs.
It didn’t take long for him to piece together that Chi Chi was upset.
Her mood took a sharp fall the moment he announced his presence. She has yet to speak a word to him on top of that. He was clueless on the cause of it though.
“Chi? What’s wrong?”
“…Goku...”
She spoke softly, sadly, yet did not turn to face him. This worried him. He stepped towards her.
“What is it?”
When he drew close enough, he saw that her hands at her sides were shaking. Hearing him move to her, she turned around this time. Her eyes were glistening with tears, and she appeared desperate.
“Do you still love me, Goku?”
Confused, his head slanted.
“Of course I love you. Why are you asking?”
His blunt, innocent response had the opposite effect one may have expected. The woman’s tears fell, and her eyes went to the floor.
“I…Goku…it’s been so long since you’ve been home. You were gone for seven years. Then, when you came from Other World to be in the Worlds Martial Arts Tournament, I was so happy. Even if it was just for a day, our family could be together again. But…”
Her voice gained more strength, but it was still dripping with emotion. She looked him in the eyes.
“Those Babidi and Buu monsters ruined everything. You fused with Vegeta, and I lost you again. Forever, I thought. Vegito looked close to you, but he wasn’t you. He was never you. And now…I have you back, finally. But it doesn’t FEEL like you’re back, Goku!”
Where was this going? He didn’t like it. Chi Chi looked to be at her wit’s end. It’s fortunate that Goten and Gohan were out; he could feel their ki out in the wilderness surrounding their house, likely gathering ingredients for their mother.
He didn’t want them to overhear this.
“What do you mean by that, Chi Chi?”
“…You feel distant, far away. Like you aren’t here at all, but you are! You’re here now, but I can’t help wondering if you still love me. After everything that’s happened…”
He had a brief flashback, of what _____ told him earlier.
‘I guess the both of them felt like they were losing Vegito, or more specifically, losing what was left of you and Vegeta. That must’ve scared them.’
Chi Chi’s question then made sense. The martial artist breathed in and out. Here goes with this mushy stuff again, he was never all that great with it, but for his wife…this type of mushiness was special. Deserved.
“Chi, if I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t be standing right here. Right now.” He stared down at her, speaking gently but with a level of conviction that had her knees go weak.
“I wouldn’t have had our sons with you. I wouldn’t have agreed to marry you…once I found out what marriage actually was.”
The woman suppressed a giggle. Goku reached out to take one of her hands in his own, virtually eclipsing it. Chi Chi immediately squeezed his palm, always loving how the callousness of his hands felt against her smooth skin.
“I know I’ve been gone for a really long time. I want to make up for all if it. Every day, every minute. I’m here to stay, Chi Chi.”
He has no plans of leaving again. The only reason he thought it would be best to stay dead after Cell killed him, was because it would help keep his family and friends safe. He’s been a magnet for trouble, and he was tired of letting it hit so close to home. Ironically, they did have peace on the planet for years, and as soon as he was back for one day…
His decision ended up being justified. But part of him still regrets it. He had no idea Chi Chi was pregnant with Goten at the time, and he missed seven years of the boy’s life so far. Chi Chi had to raise him all on her own, with Gohan lending whatever support he could as her firstborn. He had so much to make up for.
“Oh, Goku…!”
She jumped at him, and they met in a warm embrace. He held her tightly, and deeply inhaled, taking in her scent. It always had a soothing effect on him.
From afar, lingering in the kitchen’s entrance from outside, their sons watched quietly with wide smiles.
“…You haven’t forgotten what you promised me, right?”
“Hm? What was that?”
“You getting a job. I expect you to keep to your word, mister!” She wiped her dried tears away and poked him in the chest, glaring in a lighthearted way but he knew all too well that she was serious. Goku chuckled, and leaned down to plant a kiss on her cheek, much to her pleasure.
“Don’t worry Chi. You know that I never break promises.”

(OC)
Am I the asshole for telling my non-romantic spouse that I hate them after his death made me decide that almost trying to end the world was a good idea?
I (500+ M) married my friend (eons old ?) as a joke because the noncorporeal entities called anons that basically control our lives convinced us that it would be funny. We planned to get a divorce immediately after because the idea was that "oh, yeah, that's my ex" would be absolutely hilarious, but we gave up on that part because it was too much work.
An indeterminate amount of time later, :3 turned up alive. You'd think I'd be happy, but I'm absolutely pissed. We ended up fighting, and neither of us was the nicest. I said I hate un, which I knew wouldn't hurt as much as it seemed like I wanted it to.
It's not like we both haven't hated ourselves enough to be suicidal for a decent portion of our long lifespans, and it obviously wasn't actually a big deal, but I feel kind of bad.
AITA?

Names Meaning Tag
Thanks a lot to lovely @shellyscribbles <33
Rules: List the meanings of your OCs’ names.
I haven't created an intro post for everyone but for the sake of doing this tag properly (and also, I really enjoy researching the suitable names for my original characters and then talking for eons about them, hehe).
BTW, I will not include characters such as Wukong or Loki since 1) I haven't created them, they're based on/inspired by/alternative versions of already existing deities and folklore legends and 2) meaning of their names has already been explained or is still being speculated on (and you can research this in the libraries or on the Internet).
I'm including (open) tags right here in case somebody wants to avoid some spoilers which will be featured at the end of the post. So, here are my lovelies <33 (+ anyone who wants to join in - as I said, the tags are open^^): @toribookworm22 @dogmomwrites @faelanvance @frogqueenofmirkwood @aalinaaaaaa @aohendo @verba-writing @vanessaroades-author @emberlyric @toribookworm22 @arijensineink
I also include the animal companions and minor/side characters who play quite an important roles in short stories. Here we go:
Ulfrika - from the Old Norse 'úflr' = 'a wolf'
Márgerdra - from the Old Norse 'marr' ( 1) 'a sea', 'a ocean', 'a lake', 2) 'a horse') and 'garðr' ('enclosure', 'protection'), it was also a name of a giantess/sorceress in the saga of Hjálmþér and Olvir
Kogar - no meaning, a made up word, I went with a sound that seemed the most cool to me
Udra - from Lithuanian 'ūdra' = 'an otter'
Lešij - a name of a Slavic forest demon/entity, = 'a leshy'
Meluzína - from the Slovak 'meluzína' = 'a howling/wailing wind'
Krabat - a name of a Sorbian folk hero, there's also a novel version of Krabat where a boy of the same name becomes a disciple of a warlock and is capable of transforming into a raven
Tiru - a made up name, no meaning, though a name of a real doggo inspired it
The Merchant - well, that's it, he's literally a merchant. Or is he?
Faust - a name of an alchemist Johann Georg Faust who's (in)famous for making a deal with the Devil thus selling his soul
Ivan - a name common in Slavic languages (I've heard some people translate it as 'John' but it's not the same name, though the ethymology is quite similar => comes from the greek Ioannes)
Zmej Milošovič - zmej/zmij (English version 'zmei') is a type of a Slavic dragon/snake (or a hybrid of those two, depends on the story), Milošovič can be used either as a surname (not at all that common), but it can also be translated as 'a son of Miloš (Milosh)'
Barbora - a Slovak, Czech and Lithuanian version of Barbara, named after a witch who was said to ride a hellish dog (literal Satan) at midnight
Kmotra - from a Slovak 'kmotra' = 'godmother', a nickname for Death Ulfrika gave her when she was a child
Krcho - from a Czech word 'krchov' = 'churchyard, graveyard'
!!!SPOILER PART!!!
Ruta - Ulfrika's second/real name given to her by Kogar when he took her under his protection, from a Slovak, Czech, Lithuanian (also other languages) word for 'rue'

OC questionnaire tag~
Thank you @minamaybe for the tag!! With this one, I'll answer with Azul, because he crawled out from the depths of my mind and now he is the main character of my thoughts.
Are you named after anyone?
"Not that I'm aware of. My parents just popped out a baby and slammed a random name on it."
When was the last time you cried?
"Me? Crying? I don't think I have the capabilty anymore. My tears dried out eons ago."
Do you have kids?
"Gods forbid I procreate. I can barely look after myself, but a child? No."
Do you use sarcasm a lot?
"It's my love language. If I haven't made one sarcastic remark about you in any way, I can assure you, you don't mean as much to me as you hope."
What's the first thing you notice about people?
"Their eyes. And not the color, but what lies behind them. The greed, the desire to have what they can't, the hatred once they realise their object of desire is out of their reach. I never see the color, but I see their color."
What's your eye color?
"Dark green. My mother was so proud of them as if she made them herself."
Scary movies or happy endings?
"I'm too realistic for a happy ending. There are no happy endings, there's always something lurking, at least with scary movies I know what I'm getting myself into."
Any special talents?
"I have a the ability to change my form. I can be whoever I want, or better, whoever I get paid to play. "
Where were you born?
"No idea. My parents were nomads. My birthplace is nowhere and my home everywhere."
Do you have any pets?
"Never had, never will have. I was taught from a very young age that attachment is a weakness. I once begged my parents for an animal, I was maybe six at the time. Instead of gifting me a little furry friend, they force-taught me to turn into one. 'See? Why have a pet when you can be whatever you want?'"
What sort of sports do you play?
"None. I don't have time for hobbies. I'm either performing for strangers or walking through the desert to my next location."
How tall are you?
"Tall. The last I was measured, I was 6,6 ft. It runs in the family apparently, don't know which side because I never met my extanded family."
What was your favorite subject in school?
"Sadly, our way of living never permitted any education. I don't know how to read or write, but I do know how to count. I can't charge clients if I don't know how to count, right?"
What is your dream job?
"I believe there is no such thing as a dream job for jobs are the worst thing that could happen to someone. What I do might be considered as working, but I'm just living like my parents taught me to: Taking advantage of others."
This was a wild ride... Tagging for this, with no pressure, @leahnardo-da-veggie, @willtheweaver, @orphanheirs, @illarian-rambling and everyone who wants to

So what is "A Crow's Tale" about?
“A Crow’s Tale” is a story that takes place in a modern fantasy world, with the base of it being very reminiscent of that of DND (Dungeons and Dragons), but those whimsical and fantastical days of adventures through enchanted forests or fiery wastelands had ended abruptly years ago when the pantheons had suddenly vanished and all doorways into the inner and outer worlds had closed, causing magic to weaken with it. Several world wars have occurred, three to be exact, and the world struggled for some time until it finally began to industrialize, using a mix of technology and old arcane tricks. Since the first few eons of industrialization, magic has since depleted from the world.
Or so people think
The main story takes place in the city-state of Great Aelton, a large city sitting on the coast of Phavaria, one of the many continents scattered across the northern hemisphere. Taking the perspective of a group of college kids who unintentionally become part of an ongoing murder investigation that unravels into a web of paranormal and supernatural mysteries, later uncovering that someone is trying to bring magic back, gifting unfaithful individuals the power that only warlocks or wizards could once possess, and creating horrible monsters. But there are secrets buried within the layers of these mysterious events, and it's now their job to uncover them before it's too late (This was partially taken from my rp blog but its the best summary I can provide) I really want to make a comic series out of it with a bunch of my ocs and character designs I've made but haven't really had a place to put them (until now)

4, 44, and 50 for the ask game?
ask game here !!
4. OC you rarely talk about?
UHHH MOST OF THEM dude I have so many 😭 though if we want to talk about characters I haven't seen in eons (not even in private), Spica's gonna be the one. As far as I can tell her last mention was in 2018 (back when she was just named Spice).... yikes. She was my first Kirby OC and was incredibly barebones but I love her and I'm happy I kept her anyway even if she hasn't really been touched on since.
her btw vvvv
Tumblr media
44. Something you like about your OCs in general?
Design-wise? Very shaped! I love my weird little children and even if their designs don't make any sense half the time I quite enjoy the freedom in that. Otherwise I also just like writing relationships between the characters and I really often fall into making any given OC part of a set.
50. General OC talk.
Umm obviously I can't bring up everyone but I suppose I could talk about Captain Crow? It's a small little story I wrote a while back about retired fish pirates. When they realize their ship is breaking down, they're forced to stop and settle in a small town. The captain ends up recruiting a new member named Leo and they get along for several years without a hitch mostly. Leo has ties to the captain regarding her own family and their uh... deaths, and only initially approached the group to get a chance at revenge. Over time she gets increasingly anxious and questions if she even wants to do it anymore but she kills the captain one night during a panic attack leaving the decision made. The whole crew kind of falls apart after that and Leo takes the captain's place, adopting his name and living in the ship :3

So i wrote this a while ago for funsies and i wanna share it. It's an oc/self insert x Nanami thing but it's vague.
───────────────
"What are you doing here?"
The woman turned to face him. Her skin was damp with sweat and blood, eyes unfocused but... they weren't her eyes. That familiar color that he'd grown to love and long for was gone, replaced with some bastardized version of a peppermint laced with darkness. If he couldn't sense the difference in her soul, he'd assume it was drugs. Perhaps it was something like that, a burning untapped rage that had been festering into godly wrath over eons.
He wanted to throw up.
"That's an odd question." God, even her voice was the same, but it couldn't be her. There was something foreign beneath the surface, taking on her form and dancing her around like a puppet. A parasite that had nested in her marrow.
"Why's that?" She shrugged, the action surprisingly inhuman looking. Her body moved too fluidly. He hated to see it.
"Why wouldn't I be here?" She raised her hands, blood soaked palms gestering to the scene around her. "With everything going on."
"Then let me rephrase," he mumbled low, fear dripping into his tone as his mind wandered to the worst possible outcome, "why is she here?"
The woman's lips curled into a smile. He would've found that same smile sweet and warm on the woman he knew, but it seemed sinister on the woman before him.
"Because she has to be." She took a step forward, her heel clacking against the cracked subway tile, echoing throughout the underground system. "What good is a hermit crab without its shell?"
He reacted without thinking. Suddenly his hand was around her throat, squeezing, threatening to snap at a moment's notice. All he got in return was a cruel giggle and another smile.
"You won't do it," she began, tiny hand rising to gently rest against his burly one. "If I die, she dies."
"What have you done to her?"
"I haven't done anything that wasn't agreed upon." Her hand curled around his wrist and squeezed with an insurmountable force that made him grunt. He was forced to release his grip, hand drawing back as she applied enough pressure to crush his bones. She released him, letting him pull his hand in and draw back, terrified. "You don't know everything about your wife."
"We're not married yet," he corrected, biting his tongue right after. Why would he reveal something so inconsiquential to this beast?
She hummed, eyes raising to the ceiling in thought.
"Odd. She always calls you her husband." She tapped her temple, smiling softly. "Up here."
"What are you doing with her?" She shrugged.
"I'm just using her to take care of some business. It shouldn't take much longer."
"Is she safe?"
"Of course she is." The woman met his gaze again, looking almost offended. "She's with me."
He narrowed his eyes, anger boiling once more.
"If you hurt her—"
"How dare you?" Her eyes glowed menacingly, the black of her pupil spreading throughout the rest of her eyes. Her aura darkened as she stepped forward, shrouding the both of them in a thick cloud of fury. She stopped, nose to nose with him, her gaze anything but kind. "I would never let anything happen to her."

Red Carnations - Jungkook x Reader
Tumblr media
Requested by Anon: Hi, may I request a roommate! friend!Jungkook x reader fluffy imagine, please? Where the reader and Jungkook were having a movie night. The reader let him choose the movie and he chooses a scary one. The reader knew they'd get scared but didn't say anything because they didn't want to seem like a coward in front of their crush (JK). When it's time to sleep, the reader is super scared and just can't stop overthinking, seeing shadows as people, hearing weird noises, etc. They go to Jungkook's room wanting to be comforted and cuddled. Not knowing this was Jungkook's plan this whole time.
Tumblr media
Notes: Okay, honestly, this got away from me. Completely forgot it was in my ask box, and I believe I took a left turn with it. Hope you still like it though anon! I did try my best to write it in Oc's pov, but that wasn't working out, like, at all. So it ended up being in Jk's point, hope that's okay! Also, tidbit, the movie that Jk and Oc watched and discuss is called Dead Silence. It came out like eons ago, and I watched it with my mum as a kid and that shit scarred me for mf life.
It was the only thing that came to mind when I thought about what would be scary to watch, and let me tell you, the floodgates opened and I suddenly remembered the movie like I watched it yesterday and I haven't seen that movie since I was eight.
My fear of ventriloquist dummies is very real and haunts me to this day. Zombies too! I mean, I enjoy a good zombie movie, but sleeping at night after is a whole no. 😂
Tumblr media
"Hey squish, picked anything yet?" Jungkook calls, walking into his living room balancing pizza, popcorn and a tray of your favourite snacks. He's doing a pretty good job, despite the careful steps he has to take so the popcorn bowl would stop shifting off the pizza box. You were sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of his TV set-up, going through his box of movies.
He sets the things down on the table, before going back into the kitchen for the sodas he kept chilling in the fridge. He hears you scoff from there, and the sound of you suffling through his movies some more.
"Your movie collection sucks, Jay." Jungkook rolls his eyes, smiling though, because half of the movies in that box are ones you've brought and never took back when you left.
You were sitting on the couch when he goes back, feet tucked under you and his Netflix account open on his TV. You looked nice, in the black sweater you stole from him, the clothing swallowing your form, hiding the shorts he assumes you're wearing.
Not that he thought of you half naked or anything.
That was a lie, nevermind.
Not entirely his fault though, You'd been his roommate for two years now. It was awkward at first, having a female roommate, not really used to one at all. He'd honestly tried to stay out of your way as much as possible, respected your space and whatnot. Of course, that all ended when you were stressed about your midterms, and he proposed watching a movie as a way to help. It's been a tradition since then, every Friday the two of you would meet in the living room, at exactly seven, some times he'd bring the snacks, or you would. Some times you don't even watch movies, just content to sit and talk about your day, or the things you didn't share during the week.
Jungkook liked those moments, the soft moments in between where he's allowed to admire you without seeming weird about it. Where he could focus on the way your lips formed around words, or the way your eyes would light up talking about something that made you happy. The way you'd smile at him as though he was the only thing that mattered in that moment, as though there was something more between you. He's kept his feelings to himself, secret from you, like a red carnation.
He likes to pretend in those moments, when you'd fall asleep with your head on his shoulder, too tired to keep your eyes open, leaving him asking you about the movie and receiving no response. He'd only realize that you're sleeping when he'd call your name and not the nickname he gave you, and heard your soft snores.
He'd always tease you about it, tell you how you drooled all over his shoulder, just to see you hide your cheeks and your embarrassment behind a snarky retort.
He plops down next to you, after turning off the lights and grabbing a handful of popcorn, "You're so indecisive," he leans over, plucking the remote from your fingers, "And, you chose last week. It's my turn."
"Jungkook I swear to god, if I have to sit through Transformers again..." Jungkook could only laugh at your expression, a mixture of disgust and pure I'm so not having it; What can he say? He likes the franchise.
"It's not transformers this time. Promise." He pats your knee, settling agianst the couch, pulling up the horror section on Netflix. "Okay, let's see here."
He picks something randomly, something he's sure neither of you have seen before. When the opening credits start, Jungkook turns to you to gauge your reaction, you look fine, intrigued even, though he could see in your eues, a little dim of fear.
"This okay?"
"Huh? Yeah. Yeah. It's fine, as long as there's no zombies."
"I don't think there's any zombies..." Jungkook didn't allow the trailer a chance to play, he didn't even read the summary of the movie. You avoided watching movies with zombies in them, even though you've told him many times that they're great movies, they usually left you jumping at every sound, and the repeated gruesome images haunts your dreams. So Jungkook is always careful, never wanting to be an aide to your night terrors.
"Is that a doll?" You whine, ten minutes into the movie, as the on-screen couple take a little doll they found in a black box into their house. It was a creepy little thing, a ventriloquist dummy, dressed in a tuxedo, with wide unseeing eyes. "Oh no, that's so dumb. Why do they always do that?"
Jungkook was stuffing his face with anything his fingers could reach, complaining with you at the dumbness of the movie. He was watching with rapt attention, completely focused on the movie, watching as the guy leaves his girlfriend for a late night drive, leaving her alone with the dummy.
"I do not like how this is going." You were practically glued to his side, watching the movie through the gaps in your fingers. And though he heard your complaint, Jungkook was too busy enjoying the feeling of your warmth pressed against him. "She's definitely gonna di-"
Something flashes across the screen, and the dummy turns it's head completely on its own. You startle so badly, making a sound that was very high pitched and Jungkook almost drops the pizza slice he was holding.
"Yeah, nope, nope. No. I don't wanna watch anymore." You hide your face behind his shoulder, your hand gripping tightly to his forearm.
"C'mon squish, it's not that bad," Jungkook chuckles, trying to coax you from behind him with a gentle tone. You only shift away once the kill was done, and the boyfriend returned home to find his girlfriend dead and missing her entire bottom jaw.
You stay close though, still complaining about how scary it is, and getting scared when you're supposed to. And Jungkook holds your hand through most of it, mostly because you asked and not because he was brave enough to take the opportunity.
When the movie was over, Jungkook switches the lights back on, and found you sitting still on the couch. "Hey, you good?"
"Oh I'm great." You finally move, helping him clear off the coffee table, "That movie sucked ass by the way. It was so stupid how the guy still died at the end..."
"Yeah, well, at least they burnt the theatre down. So, that Mary Shaw lady has no other dolls to haunt with," He follows you into the kitchen, placing the tray and the popcorn bowl in the sink to worry about tomorrow. "Oh no wait, his step mom was her descendant, right?"
"Yeah, and his dad was actually dead too." You visibly shiver, but Jungkook was sure it was just the slight chill in the apartment. "Okay, I've got an early class, so I'm gonna get to bed, yeah?"
"Yeah okay, sleep well." Jungkook waves, watching you as you walk down the hall and into your room.
"G'night Kook."
"Night."
Hours later, the apartment was silent, and Jungkook, had just woken up and found the water bottle he kepts on his nightstand empty. He sighs, wiggling from under the warm covers to venture down the hall and into the kitchen for another bottle. He didn't bother to turn the light on, standing in front of the open refrigerator rubbing his tummy and squinting at the contents of the fridge. He grabs the bottle, and closes the door, he barely cracks the cap, turning around and promptly drops the bottle.
"Jesus fuc- dude." His heart hammers against his ribs, finding you directly behind him in the darkness, he almost knocked you over when he turned. "Y/n what the fuck. You were this close to getting punched in the face, why the hell are you sneaking around behind me..." He reaches blindly for the light switch, words dying on his lips when he gets a look at you.
To put it shortly; you looked terrified. Eyes wide, staring up at him with tears on your waterline, cheeks blotchy and shoulders shaking.
"Hey...hey. What happened?" Jungkook grasps your shoulders, barely steadying you when you rush forward. His heart feels heavy at the sound of your sobs, your tears dampening his shirt. "C'mon baby, talk to me. You're shaking."
When you continue to cry, clinging onto him tighter, Jungkook says nothing more, simply rubbing circles against your back in an attempt to soothe. The slip of his tongue not lost on him, but it's too late to do anything about it now. You both stand there for a moment, Jungkook now wide awake and confused, until your crying slowly wanes, dying down to little sniffles.
"Was it a bug?" He knows you're afraid of creepy crawlies, always the one to be at your rescue when they somehow make their way into the apartment.
"It's too quiet." You whisper, almost too soft that Jungkook had to strain ears to hear. "I can't sleep and I keep seeing things."
"Oh...was it the movie?" He continues the motion of his hand when you nod. The apartment was always quiet at night, he didn't think it would bother you after the movie. Actually, he didn't think that the movie got to you at all, but the ghost in the movie would deaften you before she made her kill, he supposed, that was the issue. "Hey, it's okay."
He pulls away just slightly, mindful of the grip you had on the back of his shirt, "You can room with me for the night...if it'll make you sleep." Honestly, he just felt all sorts of guilty now, knowing that he probably should've taken the movie off after you said you didn't want to watch anymore.
You nod mutely, and Jungkook tries to calm the racing of his heart because you could probably feel it, and guides you to his room, water bottle forgotten on the floor in the kitchen. He turns the light on in his room for your sake, and you immediately get under his covers, throwing them over your head like a kid and curling up.
Jungkook settles next to you, raising the covers to peek at you. "Sorry I made you watch it...if I knew it would've scared you so bad I would've picked something else..."
"It's not your fault." You say, "My brain likes torturing me."
Jungkook apologizes again, because he's still going to feel guilty no matter what to tell him, "Wanna hold my hand?" He offers, laughing softly when you take his hand quickly, squeezing tightly with your smaller one.
"Kook?"
"Hm?" He was dosing off, head nodding and eyes barely open to look at you, "What is it?"
You stare at him for a moment, eyes big and curious, though, a little confused; you don't look the least bit sleepy. Jungkook pokes your knee with a finger when you take a while to respond, raising his brows.
"You called me baby earlier..."
Jungkook was once again, wide awake, when he felt his heart kick faster and sink at the same time. He lets out a nervous chuckle, mind backtracking, he was hoping you hadn't heard that. "Did I?"
The corners of your eyes crease with a soft smile, an equally soft laugh followed, "Yeah, you did."
"Oh..." He avoids your gaze, "Sorry...I didn't mean it.." Jungkook winces, catching the furrow of your brows and the loosening of your grip on his hand. "No...I did mean it...I just didn't mean for it...shit. I'll stop talking." He snaps his mouth shut, sighing through his nose at the disaster that was that word vomit.
He feels you shift, before your head lands on his chest softly, "How about we talk about it in the morning then? I'm sleepy now." He allows you to get comfortable, letting you shift around until you're nestled against his side, all soft and fitting perfectly like you were meant to be there.
"Okay."

@periwinklepost-its @eondragon OK SO since Peri wanted to see my ocs and Eon wanted to see my spe fankids specifically!!!! I am going to talk about them! My johto kids are most developed so it's mostly about them but yeeeee here we go!
But ABOVE ALL ELSE i have a developing fanfic for the johto kids! If you're interested, please read here!!!!
I might be a while of talk- but posts are no longer miles long so lets just hop in!!!!
Introducing: Hayune!
Tumblr media
This is gold's kid! Its actually a speverse goldxlyra kid, too! His friends would describe him as cheery, kind and loving - and he's always helping out at his parent's daycare when he's not on the job being Azure’s escort! His favorite color is green!
Though unknown to most, he's been suffering through a time loop - people keep dying! Things are going down in johto, and instead of gaining cool girl calm after all the trauma he's- well- he's not handling it well! The current loop the story takes place in is the farthest he's ever gotten, and poor celebi is so tired out that they can only go back two weeks in a pinch! He's made it out of the weeks he knows to navigate, in a half-way between known routine and unknown, and he's very afraid of what could happen...
Introducing: Azure
Tumblr media
Azure is the Specialjewel fankid *silver x crystal if you need the presice naming!) She's kind of quiet sometimes and tries to keep her cool, but on the inside they're awkward and have some... let's say, self esteem issues that they haven't fully worked out. That being said, not loving oneself doesn't mean she won't throw herself into battle to protect friends and family! Her pokemon are loyal to her in this very same way - a terrible trait to have, self-sacrificing is... and those that work with her father pin her as weak.
She's the new heiress to a temporary team rocket - as her father's forces, once loyal to her grandfather, try to save the region from destructive betrayers that have their own plans for the region. The one behind it all is Sird, who wants to take control of the region and capture the legends for some unsavory experiments. That being said, Azure wants as few casualties as possible and if someone is stuck on the opposing side unwillingly, She's going to try her hardest to make sure they have a way out. However, if her foe is happy to spill blood... well, she's not afraid to do something about it.
And at night, when her parents think they are asleep, and darkness falls across the land...
Tumblr media
Azure takes on their alter ego - a Hero by the name of masked mistress. Having never been told the past of her home and being told made-up stories by the darkrai she grew up alongside, they thought they were embodying an old fairytale - like robinhood or something. Anyways, they've taken to the war-torn parts of the region to help get lots of orphaned kids to the safety of the safari zone - run down, but kept alive by tireless work from the help of wild pokemon that understand her cause (and maybe some fear what darkrai will do if they try to harm the kids they saved with their trainer). They refuse to involve any kids in the warring and try to keep them as far away as possible from the fighting.
Introducing: Rust
Tumblr media
(Using this picture bc i dont like my ref for him it looks weird lol srry)
Rust is the third of Sird’s triplets - the runt of the three and the most rebellious. He met Azure when he was very young, and this one encounter showed him that there was life and light outside his mother's abuse - a light he wished with all his heart to have and hold. His first act of rebellion was choosing his own name and shaping himself into who he wished to be - acts that lit small flames in his sibling's hearts, but they both were ultimately too afraid to disobey their mother, and pushed him away.
Rust eventually meets Azure once more, and although Hayune freaks him out by existing at first, he warms up to him as gentle, careful kindness over time is the key to Rust’s heart. Together with his friends, he hopes to free his siblings from Sird’s control over them and finally achieve the eternal happiness he seeks.
Introducing: Coal and Scarlet
Tumblr media
(I only have this post-storyish sv starter announcement thing as colored ref for the two, just imagine them sad and in white TR clothes)
Scarlet and Coal are Rust's two siblings.
Coal is very analytic, and often likes to survey and assess his surroundings. His mother's experiments, though making his pain tolerance almost too high also caused a lot of nerve damage, causing him the lack of a sense of touch on his left side (red eye side) and blindness in his red, left eye. It's possible to reverse most of the damage, restore a bit of his sense of touch, but that's only if he can get help - and that help's not coming from his mother, who considers him imperfect, and expendable at best. His secret dream is to visit the ranches in johto, and pet a ponyta. His pokemon, always by his side in secret but a giveaway to his true feelings, is a Ralts he hatched from an egg. The pokemon is weak, but no matter how Coal acts and pretends to be evil, Ralts's glowing horns give his fear away immediately.
Scarlet is, effectively, Sird’s "favorite" - extremely obedient, never once mentions her own wishes, and is considered a sucess with the modifications made to her body. She's unnaturally strong and if any side effects are happening to her, she doesn't talk about them. She's used to staying where its "safe", within Sird’s orders and in her line of sight. Only she knows Sird's true ambition - achieving immortality. The legends seem pretty good at that, so that's what they're after. Though, meeting one girl in a twist of fate has changed Scarlet’s whole world. She's finding her own light, slowly but surely. Her mother tries to stomp this out - but the damage is already done, and Scarlet now knows what the woman sees her as... the road She's traveling is getting painful, but she's still determined to walk it, seeking that light the girl had left her.
Introducing: Winter and Jack
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Winter is a child that Masked Mistress had saved on her escapades, a feisty little lass that knows a lot of swears from being on the street! Though she has befriended an eevee, Mantine and Seel, most pokemon tend to avoid her - and the other orphans she lives with spread all sorts of silly rumors, like she's from another world, or half pokemon. Though Winter is certainly odd, she's unwaveringly confident and lets them believe what they will - hey, if she's a monster, then you better listen and get to bed before she eats you! Raaah! Of course, once silver and crystal find her snooping around to check in on Azure, they're going to have her sign adoption papers.
Jack is her friend! Pretty much her best friend, and eusine's adopted kid. He's a photographer that wants to catch some nice pictures of legendaries like Suicune, but here's the twist - He's actually from a family of powerful psychics. He gets being the odd one out of a crowd with powers that aren't in check and hard to manage, especially when stressed out, so he sees nothing wrong with Winter - she's just a pretty girl, traveling around johto just like him. If she sprouts weird wings or her eyes glow red, whatever! Humans are all different anyways! Winter may also be giving him Egg feelings, but he's... working on it. They may be baby lesbians shhhh
Introducing: Trickster
Tumblr media
Trickster is a fella from ultra space! He fell into johto, brain bonked into memorylessness, but with strange powers and memories that don't quite fit into being his. He's afraid to speak out at first, but he's very enthusiastic to learn all there is to learn about this new, bright world! As you can see, I've got plans for him yet to be enacted, but as his old memories wash away into seas, he makes new memories and stores them in the journal that hayune gave to him. Very pure of heart, he plans to protect his new friends with all he has and hide no secrets!
That's all for the major Johto Kids! Ive got room for all of two more photos so lets have some rapid fire concepts and stories-
Introducing: Ginger and Rhu
Tumblr media
Ginger (kanto dexholder polycule hehe) was stolen away from his family by a powerful dragon user - suspected to be Lance of the elite four. His sister is looking for him (she's still in development phase bc she keeps on looking like. Like red but girl and i dont want quite that) but he was never old enough to know where he came from - just that he was stolen for his supernatural talents as a Viridian child. Rhu(???), ten years younger than he is, is a bab more talented in the future-seeing abilities of a viridian child. His loss was much more traumatic, as his parents were killed in front of him. The two stick together like glue, a found family of brothers. Both are terrified of dragons, but Ginger is trying his best to work through that fear and find his family, without being caught by their kidnapper once again. Story is still in development but yeah!!
Introducing: Ame (Short for amethyst yeah yup yea)
Tumblr media
Ame is a Franticshipping kid! I am also using a one off art bc i never actually finalized the designs or concepts! Either way, Ame doesn't quite start off as ruby and sapphire's kid - the two never really settle down to have one, which mostly works for them as champ and top coordinator respectively and sapph just doesn't rlly want all that strain on her person, y'know?
Anyhoo Ame makes his way through life supporting his friend (again no concepts but tenthshipping kid) whom is quite interested in challenging the league. Ame tends to paint, but mostly does so secretively as his family had shunned the practice - and that's all he says on the matter. His friend tries to get him to the spotlight - Ame is a talented battler and strategist, after all - but he insists on living quietly though in passing mentions that he admires those they have challenged.
However, he has a dark truth brewing in him. He was severely neglected as a kid, and in truth, deeply yearns to be accepted by the family that would rather see him shoved in a closet with his canvas turned to kindling. In fact, he's almost dragged home at some point, but Ruby, fresh out of a contest and not here for parental abuse, saves Ame some trouble and gets him out of having to go home. The save and encouragement deeply effects Ame...
And for a moment makes him wonder if his plans to be truly, unignorably noticed by his family, may be... dangerous, to say the least.
He doesn't feel he has the room to go back on his plans in the end, but maybe a little reach out may flip the scripts?
Anyways, those are the concepts I have art and room for! Rapidfire round:
Quartz Berlitz: haughty kid, loves harujuku fashion and calls ugly pokemon cute! She's investigating timespace shenanigans!
Titan: child of saturn that experiences the influences of legendaries against his will! Saddest kitten hair kid youve ever fucken seen
Amber: mentioned kanto dexholder kid! Feisty but loves her pikachu! Will bite! Likes women 👍 also violence! The kind of girl that writes about battling and adrenaline in pink glitter ink and throws the book at a shadow in paranoia
Obsidian: a child lacktwo smuggled out of interpol and gave to hugh and whi to take care of! Sometimes gets the name Sid as a nickname but yeah this kid hates cops and hates corruption. Loves trubbish and gigalith and is rivals with a spraypaint artist that calls themselves cloud
Ivory: ivy for short, this is a agencyshipping kid! She is not interested in the film industry and wants to live peacefully, but life does not give her the decency of a break! Her whole story is a comedic build up until she Fucking Snaps
Melody: proteche of X! Also a photographer and more interested in capturing the beauty of kalos
Cosmo Berlitz: i am going to be honest here i am a fan of moon/y and i just like Cosmo as a concept. Berlitz family of strong women a continued tradition also shes interested in trying to do magic herself. Not showman style just actual magic i believe in her. Cosmo
More usum kids? Eventually
Ive got to catch up on my reading
Anyways, that's all! I hope you enjoyed my huuuge rant!!!! Lmk if you want any more info!

My Ben 10 Reboot/Grim Dawn OC-- Libra Renov! :D
Warning! Some of these parts have uncomfortable stuff, so if you don't like it. Might wanna either scroll down faster or endure it if you still wanna read it.
Libra has a lot of expertise with being a Sage of Illusions but she's also a healer and wild card in case missions go south. Which is about 50/50 percent most of the time.
She's also one of the smartest sages there is. But she sometimes focuses on the puzzles way too much so she doesn't notices anything going on around her.
Libra has a few friends but they're just a bunch of royal jerks. Except Hex, she liked him when they've met. Disa and Libra are friends too, but she trusts Hex more than anyone.
Before Libra died, she was a human with wavy chocolate brown hair with deep blue eyes and fair skin. Now, she's an aetherial with messy black charcoal hair with glowing green eyes and her skin's pale white.
She is an adopted royal, let me elaborate : Her real parents' kingdom got dethroned by another kingdom in ledgerdomain. The king and queen who has a tomboy daughter which they don't like, and resulting for said daughter to left them with no heir. So when they dethroned Libra's parents, they took toddler!Libra under their wings and taught her how to be a girly-girl princess.
At first, Libra loved it but when she grew older she became a rebellious child (in secret) and would often read her adopted father's books about magic without permission.
When she met Hex (when she first sneaked out for the first time), she realized she can be so much more than just be a useless princess in her kingdom. She could help people on the front instead of doing it behind the walls of the castle.
So ever since then, whenever she gets the chance to do something rebellious, she would do it using illusions as distraction then she helps the people in need with a disguise. (Like Robin Hood).
Her adopted parents didn't liked it obviously and were trying to figure out who would do such a thing. They still haven't found out it was her.
Libra & Hex are the "friends to lovers" couple. They're glue you can't easily separate and will hurt you if you hurt one of them.
When she found out that she's getting arranged marriage to Hex's younger brother, she didn't liked it. Yes, she knew about Hex's younger brother, Spellbinder, but she didn't liked him like that.
So when Libra & Hex became 18 years old, they eloped to Cairn and became Sages since then. They're not exactly married in legal standards, but they don't mind it one bit.
When Hex gets pissed at someone, its Libra's job to calm him down.
Since she's the only thing that stands between Hex and his anger to the whole multiverses. That is, when she died in the first cataclysmic war.
Libra deeply cares about Hex and is deeply hurt whenever Hex does something he regrets. Like, cursing his brother when Spellbinder forcefully kissed her lips.
Of course, Hex hid away from her for a few years because of the fear he'll hurt her too.
This made her depressed and longed for him, even to the point on not eating or sleeping because she misses him too much. Till Disa slaps her from her depression and yells at her to get a grip.
Libra was slightly thankful for her, even though it hurts like hell. She now learned a lesson that Hex would come back. Which he did, and Libra basically sprung out to crush him with her hug.
Libra cried rivers when Hex came back, as well as him.
After that, they now have more love to each other. Which is a blessing for the other sages since they now feared/despised Hex because of what he did.
They were peaceful, until the cataclysmic war....
Now, the cataclysmic war isn't just some war, it was a war between The Gods of Cairn and The Aetherial. (I'll probably make a post about the Aetherials and Gods of Cairn, since I can't explain everything in here)
It affected everyone even The Sages, half of the faction died including Libra. Who got trapped inside the spell of the Handmaiden Shield and burned alive by the aetherfire the aetherials had caused.
When she died, her soul got flung down deep into where the aetherials (now just spirits) had now reside. When they noticed her and found out she wasn't one of them, they tortured her for eons till they came back to take over the world. But she held it together for as long as she can take.
That was until... Theodin Marcell, The Master of Flesh, had began experimenting & reanimating the bodies of humans. He searched for test subjects (alive and/or dead) and found Libra's corpse in an ancient graveyard, and decided they will make her their most perfect masterpiece.
And so he did, first they forced Libra's soul to go into an aether crystal (a sort of physical form of aetherials). Then, he sliced open Libra's body's chest and planted the crystal inside her heart. Then he started reanimating her.
When she first came back to life, she was strapped naked in an electric chair. She tried to get out obviously until she saw Theodin Marcell coming down.
"Ah, so you're awake..."
"What do you want with me?!"
"The higher ups of the Aetherhold has accepted my request to test on you, Miss Libra Renov..."
"That still doesn't my question bastard!"
"The higher ups also want you to join our army. A special soldier, if you will."
"I'll never join you! Not after what your kind has done many eons ago!"
"Of course, I know you won't accept, so we'll do it the hard way instead..."
"Wha--" Then she screamed. Theodin had activated a switch that activated the electric chair. There were iron nails, nailed through her hands, and seemingly connected to the wires up to the switch. Making her feel the pain through her nerves system.
It hurts like hell, it felt like she was on fire. Her organs felt on fire, her brain-- Everything felt like on fire.
Theodin kept doing this to her till she threw up bile onto herself. Coughing up the remaining bile in her throat.
"Hmm, interesting, a human body can take so much of electricity before they perish. But you however, since you were blessed by the gods, you can take so much more..."
"What the hell does that mean?!"
"That means, I have to do more experiments on you. But since you just woke up, I'll let you rest. Tomorrow, we will continue, and by then... You will sooner or later become a masterpiece....."
She only glared daggers at the possessed man as she was dragged away to a cell. They threw her and pinned her down, then they chained her up against the wall to make sure she doesn't escape.
Her hands felt numb from the electrocution, her body was shivering from the cold and shaking from the electricity. Her brain felt dizzy, if she focuses too much on an area, she would throw up.
Whatever the hell Theodin has in store for her, she'll endure it. She won't break from him. She'll get out and escape as soon as she finds a way how.
Besides, how worse can it get?....
Surely it won't be too much for her? Right? She's seen disturbing things, she has the confidence that she won't break.
Oh how wrong she was...
How very wrong she was...
The next day, when she was being escorted to the experimentation room. She tried to escape.
There were many aetherial possessed soldiers and once they saw her, they started shooting at her. Unfortunately, she was hit multiple times and died.
But that wasn't the worse part, the worse part was when she started to wake up. What she saw was scarring.
Her body's opened up like some frog in a science class, she could see her organs and everything from her perspective. Bloody equipment on a table, her beating heart, and Theodin poking and putting something inside her. It was enough to make her nauseous.
"Oh? Awake already?"
She was freaking out and started to squirm a lot.
"I suggest you don't squirm, unless you want an important organ to get cut from your recklessness."
She immediately froze from his words.
"Good pet." She growled at that nickname, she was very disgusted by him.
She tried to look around for any places where she can run, or anything nearby that she can use to break out of her confinement.
But she couldn't do anything, she knows that. She can't escape and she'll just bleed out if she somehow miraculously did. She was trapped.
She had no choice but to stare at what Theodin's doing to her for hours, mortified. And when he finished stitching up the slices he made, he did one more thing.
"Oh, and since you tried to escape. A little torture will be necessary."
And so he did, by stabbing her leg unexpectedly, in which she screamed. He kept doing this to different parts of her body until she began crying and whimpering.
Her face was covered in cuts and limbs that have stabs all over them. There were a few close calls to her neck making it look like scratches.
"Oh, you're crying? That's pathetic."
"...."
"Still not answering?"
"....."
"Whatever, because of your recklessness you got shot down by our troops. So I suggest you stop being stubborn and just accept it. You can't escape. And if you do, we'll be coming after you."
Those words slowly drilled down into her brain, she tried to ignore it but couldn't. In the next few days of those horrible electrocutions and mortifying tests that include getting her shoulders dislocated in the process, she was beginning to starve.
Theodin doesn't cares though so he just ignores Libra's whimpers of starvation and continued on the experiment. Even if it means Libra gets slammed like a bruised ragdoll.
There's more, more worse than that. When Theodin realized he couldn't do more experiments on Libra due to her lack of energy. He feeds her near-expired food, by literally shoving it down her throat till she chokes on it.
She absolutely doesn't likes it and tried to escape once after that. But she got stabbed from behind her and died once more.
Everytime she tried to escape, she keeps dying. And everytime she was brought back to life, she was punished. Either it was electrocution, beating her up, stabbing her randomly, or really painful whips in the back.
Her brown hair became darker until it was charcoal black due to getting electrocuted many times, her skin was so pale that you would barely see the cuts in her face. She has spots of burns on her skin when aetherfire was shot at her, body that has stitches everywhere, and her hands was beginning to glow bright green due to prolonged exposure to electricity.
Her head hurts, a lot and her chest feels funny every time she exhausts herself.
She cries in her sleep everytime, she can't take it anymore. She is in so much pain, so much stress. That she didn't even saw the worst part that happened to her.
"Fuck you..."
"Oh my, how dirty your mouth is."
"Screw. You. I can tell whatever I want to say."
"Oh my... Don't tell me you've forgotten one of the rules of your faction... That would be very disrespectful of you."
"Wait, the rules??"
"Yes, don't you remember the faction you joined and its rules?"
"My faction? Yes, my faction!... The err... S..So...The Sorcerers!"
"You meant 'The Sages'?"
"Wait, 'Sages'??? I thought--"
"Oh don't tell me you don't remember, The Sages of Cairn? The faction you dedicated your whole life into."
"Of course I remember! Its just err..."
"You seem to have forgotten your faction."
"N-No I don't! I do remember them!"
"Oh then please, tell me all about it."
"Its..erm, ugh! Why can't I remember?!"
"So you don't remember anything? Anything in particular. Your friends, your family, even your lover?"
"I...I don't remember....." Then laughter erupted from the man, as she tried to remember.
That was the worst part, she couldn't remember anything. Her memories full of holes, fuzzy dreams with no meaning to her, and sometimes nightmares would crawl into her mind. The only thing that she held onto was her name and the name of her lover, Hex, but memories of them being together was long gone.
And soon, Theodin had managed to succumb Libra in her weakest point. Where she was easily manipulated by the aetherial....
After a couple more years of experiments, torturing, etc. She was empty both inside and out. Her eyes were dull of life, her vision (sometimes) was such a haze but she didn't really cared.
Theodin had turned the once stubborn Sage into one of his mindless (very scarred soldier) soldiers for battle.
She couldn't feel pain no longer. After what she went through, she slowly became numb to pain. Which was good for Theodin Marcell, as they now have a perfect masterpiece, ready to go and do their bidding.
But the downside is that she became a masochist so every wounds inflicted to her, was a pleasure for her instead of pain. So she had to wear a mask, so people won't find out she loved the pain on herself.
She became a Mage Hunter, a mixture of an Inquisitor and an Arcanist. She disguised herself using illusions (that she vaguely remembers) and infiltrated the barracks of The Black Legion.
She then proceeded what Theodin tells her to do, smuggle the aetherial spirits to people who are the weakess mentally and with most negative emotions.
After Malmouth had fallen she continues hunting down humans for Theodin to "make a masterpiece" out of them. That was until Hex arrived.
One day, she received a mission to protect Warden Krieg in his home. So she used a rift to get there quickly, and when she did...
She saw none other than Hex who's fighting aetherials at the moment.
She stood there staring at him, thinking about how familiar Hex is to her. Though, she didn't know it was him. Until she decided to call out for him when he was finished with killing the aetherials.
"...Hex?"
That immediately caught Hex's attention and saw Libra standing there, shock mixed with confusion.
"How do you know my name?"
"I..I don't know, but I remember someone named Hex.... I'm not sure.... I just called out to you..."
"Well people don't know my name unless--"
"I'm Libra..."
That made Hex shut up quickly and come up to her with widened eyes before hugging Libra. Her mask was quickly swept to the side as Hex kissed her.
The hug and kiss really made her feel nice and warm. Like, they've been doing this for who knows how long.
But soon, the warm feeling disappeared when he let go, "How can I know you're Libra??? She died eons ago..." He said with sadness in his voice. That was a good choice, being skeptical was a good choice.
"I don't know either.... I can't remember anything, my memories are filled with holes..."
"Can you remember maybe a little bit?"
"Well, I've been getting nightmares more recently... My dreams were always different but I think I remember burning in one of them..."
"So it really is you... What happened?"
"I'll tell you, but first, we need to go somewhere and then we can talk."
Hex only nodded and followed her to a hidden place. That was when she told him everything she remembers so far, after the end of her talking Hex looked like he was going to rip Theodin Marcell into two. Which makes her scared.
She doesn't want to lose the only warmth that she has now, she needs to protect him. That was how she betrayed the aetherials and helped Hex with his missions.
This doesn't please Theodin though....
But she doesn't care, she's obsessed with Hex's warm feeling and she doesn't want to lose it.
Even though her memories is filled with holes, Libra felt like she belongs to Hex.
And since Hex is now together with Libra again, he can help her with those hole-filled memories.
And maybe now she can slowly remember what they used to be...
Tumblr media
Here's the current gacha design for Reboot!Hex and Libra (Since I can't draw, lel)
Hope you enjoyed it!

I just realized I can actually talk here. Like this is my account fuck u
Fucking uhhhhhh, hi ig lemme ramble abt my God ocs yea?
Ignore this part if you don't wanna hear (likely) unedited rambles lol it doesn't matter
CW: neglect/abuse, assholery/narcissism, manipulation, tread lightly!
read the under cut owo
Also don't steal my art I'll fucking?? Fight you????
So
I have three main gods that I wanna talk abt especially bc they've been on my mind lately.. Less get it, side notes are in (parentheses) and are bolded cause I have perception issues whoo I don't want it to jumble together is my point lol
First up is my asshole,
Giodine
they/them (preferred)
god/godself (i like pronouns that fit my characters, so I'm giving a bunch away for one night only at--)
Tumblr media
ID : Giodine is colored with gold-ish yellow skin and ginger hair. Their eyes are a muted purple and they have tiny eyebrows. Their lips are a muted brown and are full looking, their nose is sharp and points down. They have wings for ears and is wearing a blazer with a long-sleeved, collared shirt underneath it. The background is beige with a yellow square and a dark purple square partially encompassing it. It is signed GH (for ghoulish husband), Spork, 21.
(lemme know if that helps at all! I'm sure I can do better so lemme know!)
If they look weird here it's bc I accidentally made their face too long but believe it or not this is in fact just a doodle Ik I'm so fuckin talented babes.
Anyways, they're basically the first God to ever exist on my version of earth (though even that is fickle rn, world-building is hard unless I hyper-focus on it, and haha Guess What I Haven't Been Thinking About) and they're very egotistical and selfish. As I'll probably yap about later is how they're manipulative as well, especially to another God I'll mention, and very neglectful to the other... other one.
Their partner(professionally), or fiend as they call him, is sam who for the first few eons was, unsurprisingly, absolutely terrible to him. A few tender moments are few and far in between in what could only be described as a completely rancid relationship. I'll describe giodine's side and in sam's lil ramble, I'll describe his :]
I have to explain this because it's a big part of the lore and how they can't work together, even when one of them is very much near The Void (technical death for gods) BUT basically, with Sam, giodine created purgatory. The issue here is that they basically seduced sam into doing it. Well, even if they hadn't, sam was in lesbians(happy pride month lmao) with giodine and would've done it anyway. But the ISSUE is that with the creation of purgatory came complications. See, my gods have to take time to develop into their power, and considering giodine was first and sam was around 666th.. you see the issue. Sam wasn't into his complete power yet and thus lost a giant part of it that went into purg.
See, giodine saw no problem with this (until much later, they do get a VERY SLOW BURN redemption arc cause this ain't even the worst of it), they got what they were aching for out of them and thusly had no need for..sam. They laid him in the spot where she was made (fwi it isn't inherently sexual, it can be, but literally, they just merged together-- taking bits and pieces of each other (which sam did not have enough of) and earth and light yadda, yadda I'll post the story I wrote for that later if I'm up to it) and left him there in the grass.
Again, they saw no problem with that, the deed was done, they didn't care anymore. A common issue in their qualms, sam and Giodine. They did find an issue in Sam finding an issue in the lack of aftercare, which resorted to any message going to or coming from sam going straight to his assistant and going back through them for a couple of thousand years. They found that infuriating-- how could he not face them over something so small! and for years?! it was ridiculous. After forcing a face-to-face meeting, a heated proclaim of hurt from sam, and a bitter agreement to meet up every now and again, they got what they wanted from him. Again. It was a business after all, there was no point in making it harder than it needed to be. 
Giodine doesn't necessarily like boundaries and tends to overstep sam's frequently. They also don't like his reaction to his boundaries being long jumped over, which thusly ends up in disgruntled messages being sent back and forth between them and his assistant for a month or three. It slowly gets through to them, but they tend to say some stupid shit and if they want sam to stay, they have to try and avoid mentioning how "overly sensitive" he is to something that happened eons ago.
(quick mention, there isn't like. time. here. so in all honesty, giodine probably counted earth days instead of Heaven 'days' to get that) Soon into their arrangements to meet, they seem to get on at least tolerable terms, obviously, a few meetings where neither of them feels like going apeshit and taking proper shapeless (or in sams case, he's got a newfound form for ANGER OO just for giodine 🤗) forms isn't going to fix a grudge that has yet to be apologized for by the way. But it's a start to a very long process down the road. Tolerance.
Giodine as an entity is very fickle and rude and demanding. They tend to have a short temper that no one else is allowed to have or comment on-- They were the first therefore they were the most important!
This is very obviously an issue. But it's mostly directed to purgatory. Almost all of their seething rage is pointed towards the poor entity, she's barely been alive yet and they already seem to hate her for things she doesn't know how to do. Honestly, I don't think Purg will ever fully forgive them for the unnecessary abuse of her character, but just as Sam and Giodine get on better terms, they had barely just begun fixing the hole in their relationship. As of now, Sam/Giodine don't have any minor plot points with purgatory other than the major one so I don't have a lot to say about their relationship right now. Maybe one day.
I'd go into details, seriously, but I just wanna ramble about their relationships with each other and their impact on each other's existence. Hope you don't mind a few secrets 😉
But, now, it's time for a new God, one I think most people take a liking to...
Sam (Samuel)
He/him
Tumblr media
ID: Sam is surrounded by clouds in the light blue, fading to a darker blue sky and the yellow sun. His horns are a darker beige, which is being highlighted by the sun shining down on him, he also has pointed ears. His skin is red which is very prominent in the sun. His eyes are completely yellow, his hair, beard and mustache are also black. He has an orange scar crawling up to his Adams apple. His wings are a darker grey which is also being highlighted by the sun. His nails are painted black and his hand is holding up the black fabric barely covering his shoulders. Around the painting is a gold and red shaded frame with swirls complimenting each side and a crystal at the bottom of it. It is lightly signed GH, for ghoulish husband.
Sam, Sam, Samuel.
If you don't realize right away, Sam is basically Satan, he's the ruler of hell
Like how giodine was the first to appear on earth, as mentioned before sam was 666th for funnie reasons. Sam was made from bugs, dried blood, and sunlight which sounds pretty gross, but he's far from it. He's a silly, yet neat, guy. He wears Hawaiian shirts and khakis (not around giodine lmao) for cryin' out loud! how bad of a person can he be? Apparently to giodine (for a while obviously) he was the most retched entity to exist. This very much hurt him considering the amount of fake care they showed him before. With a mixture of confusing feelings (which wasn't supposed to be a thing but Univerce went "lmao you'll be fine" and left... short explanation, Univerce is the Universe and is the entity who simply builds these planets and gods that'll appear there and leave them to their own devices, xyr not extremely important in this story. Nor would they care.) and feeling used, he decided that no he wasn't going to take that.
If there is one thing Sam knows how to do is to self preserve himself, even if that means getting passive-aggressive notes sent to him every once in a while. While this period, Sam was surprisingly the least productive (unfortunately giodine knew this and eventually mentioned it in one of their meetings which made him hide away cause like hell giodine was going to be critical of /him/) but he managed. It wasn't terrible, but unfortunately, Sam being able to talk it out with someone who does practically the same work as he does and gets newer, more helpful ideas was better in the long run.
Unsurprisingly, Sam was the first to initiate the healing of his and giodine's relationship but it wasn't reciprocated. Who would've figured, aye? Giodine kept pushing it back onto him and ignoring any progress that could've been made before. Which was frustrating.
The painting above was 'painted' by giodine, which is sorta where their relationship gets somewhat on an understanding of each other. Giodine gets to take a deep long look into who Sam is and tries to express it but it never fit him, it makes them realize that they never really-- truly got to know him. And all it does for Sam is make him even more confused about his place in giodine’s mind. He figured it's another fluke to get him to do something, so he ends up distancing himself when they start actually reciprocating his friendship advancements.
Suddenly, like a flash, Sam was forced to stay with giodine which is where the majority. I'll explain.
Sam...isn't actually the ruler of hell. Anymore, anyways depending on the timeline. His and purgatory's relationship has always been complicated, she always avoided him, and when they talked she always seemed scared of him. So in the end, they've never been close. Distant. Sam always wanted to talk to her, he made her, but if she didn't want to talk to him he wouldn't force it. But imagine his surprise as Purg singlehandedly took over hell in a hazed frenzy.
And not only that, had a personal vendetta against him!
Well, that would be the only explanation to Sam considering how he ended up broken and barely 'alive' at the hands of her. Horns broken and in tatters, pain and almost obliterated it felt like a hate crime. He didn't know what to do when he made it to the office, Purgatory was creating chaos outside his door and barely being able to breathe he felt like it was the end. So he called giodine. 
Purgatory
She/her
Tumblr media
ID: Purgatory is surrounded by flowers that are dark grey and white. The light fades down into a dark green. The light shines down on top of her straight, white hair that has yellow flowers tucked into it.  Her skin is a dark brown and has a orange-ish yellow scar on her shoulder trailing up to her neck. Her skin is also highlighted by the sun. In one of her eyes, her sclera is black with an orangey, glowing iris. As for the other eye it it has a white sclera and the same, glowing orange iris. She has wings for ears, one dark grey and one white along with beige horns. She has a white fabric covering her chest. The frame is gold with white accents, but also has vines and moss crawling up the side. 
(may have goofed a bit and forgot to color the sclera of her other eye white but ignore that pls)
Purgatory was made by Sam and Giodine, but to her it felt like a mistake. Why make someone that you’re going to be terrible to, she believed. Giodine seemed to hate her and eventually made her section almost obsolete because she simply wasn’t able to keep up with the backlog that she wasn’t taught to deal with. Not only that, she didn’t have any help with any of it, it was almost like she was expected to just do it on her own. Until Death came along to help, but that’s not what we’re going to be talking about right now. 
And also, Purgatory is Purgatory yadda, yadda, I wont insult your intelligence.
Giodine’s thought process (other than wanting to be Real Close to Sam and once that thought filtered out, promptly ignored it) was that all the extras that don’t fit in either category of their thought of good and evil they’d go to her. (doesn’t matter cause in Sam's system it filters through ‘levels of assholery’ and depending on how bad you are you either just vibe in the upper city under rule of capitalism and possibly many under paying jobs or being actually tortured for his amusement if you’re just evil. Morally grey. Anyway, it could work p well in heaven if giodine wasn’t such a damn stickler.) But in the end, every day, less and less people ended up in purgatory, leaving her with barely any people and more verbal abuse from giodine who ‘HAS to take them or they would be more dead than they already are’. You see the pain she has to go through, right? 
~Idea section, this is probably not canon anyways so dont take it serious~ 
My thought is that another oc (BA, you may have heard of him idk) takes over simply because Purg took multiple hims from alternative timelines (which isn’t allowed but what’re they gonna do, undead a dead clown? multiple times from multiple timelines???)) because she adored him and they figured ‘well we gotta redo purgatory may as well do it like this’ and make him a demi-dead-god. i think thats a cool idea right? anyhoo
~Idea section over uwu~
Purgatory overall is a fairly timid character, she doesn’t like conflict, is easily overwhelmed, and generally keeps to herself. She doesn’t see the point in being in any drama if she’s just going to be yelled at and scolded even if it’s not about her. The only way i could describe her taking over hell is this: 
She was tired. She was angry and after feeling like nothing was in control or in her hands, she snapped. Why doesn’t she get anything or get to be ‘all powerful’ but they do? She knew if she took on Giodine she’d likely get thrown to the void, but sam? He felt fair game. Considering her fear of both of these gods, she planned and got her courage up to take him over. She had considered negotiations but in the end, she ended up going into a haze and ruining everything in sight. She was more powerful than she thought and once she started, she didn't stop until Death restrained her and Sam was already in pieces at God’s doorstep. 
The aftermath was fuzzy for her and for everyone really. Godine was planning a take back hell while actually worrying for sam, sam was planning for a retirement, and she was being consoled while trying to get in contact with sam to apologize. Giodine wouldn’t dare let her talk to him, until she just showed up in their office. She didn’t have a problem with Sam, honest, she just was going to take shit over, but it got out of control. 
Spoiler, Sam took her apology and they actually became.. somewhat closer after reaching an understanding. 
I wanna say that giodine took them being okay and sam retiring as good as sam did about purg running hell, but they didn’t. Giodine and purgatory actually barely got along in the first place, and only begun ‘working’ on their bitterness toward each other because they both had sam to encourage it. I can’t say for certain if they’ll get better, as theyre both undying and have time, but I’ll just say for now its uncertain. 
Also, Death is Purgatory’s girlfriend after all of that lmao.
And.. yeah, i hope this makes sense and that you like my drawings and ramblings about my lil story in my head, i guess this is my way to develop it without just keeping it to myself cause god forbid i keep things to myself hshsh. If you made it to the end, thank you for taking the time to read and attempting to process everything, and even if you didnt read and just looked to look at my art thank you to!!
I may post some art over on @ghoulishhusbandart cause.. it was my art account before i completely forgot about it but i might reboot it! But if you wan art NEOWWW follow me on insta (ik cringe lmaoo) by the same name as this account @ghoulishhusband​ or just click that insta link! also ignore the fact that giodine is the only one without a portrait, maybe I’ll replace it the next time i draw but im graduating on monday and my dad’s coming TOMORROW?? so i won’t have too much time to do it... but i hope you like my art anyways :]
ok!! ty!! ily!!
