#i need somewhere to put this though

[inkdippedfingers]

me going insane

This is uh, lore, if anyone cares. Not ii related but osc related, kinda. Its more for a few AUs than anything else. also world building is fun. you can ignore this if you’re not interested

Ok so

Angel subtypes

We have normal angels. Made or heavenborn, they’re pretty typical angels. Except for the gold face markings instead of the stereotypical halo.

Heaven is pretty open and their cities and civilizations are designed for winged objects. Because of this, angels dont need super manuverable wings.

Guardian angels are mainly heavenborn. Young angels born with the specific wings, and taught how to protect and fight from the very start of their life. Then, at a young age they’re sent to the object they’re meant to protect to familiarize and grow up with them. they continue their training on earth though.

Of course, there’s no plan for if the protected object is in danger before that. So the unfortunate angels that end up with those objects dont come out of it exactly, mentally stable.

Made guardian angels are objects that died while trying to protect someone, or still wanting to protect someone. Once the object they’re protecting dies, they’re free to live in heaven as any other angel does.

When a heavenborn guardian angel finishes their job, they’re either assigned another if young enough, or let live in heaven if they help that object live their life to full potential.

archangels are the royalty of heaven, they watch over all of the angels and make sure everything is going perfectly. This takes a toll on them, however, and most are obsessed with keeping heaven “perfect” and “clean of pests” such as demons.

This obsession with a perfect world makes heaven feel strained at times, and angels that grow up under their control have a big fear of authority and self-expression.

At points this can mean frowning upon, excluding or even sending away heaven-born angels to earth who “ruin” the perfect cookie-cutter utopia they try to shove heaven into. This includes physical deformaties, attitudes, mannerisms or viewpoints they dont like.

archangels are also very arrogant in nature, from all the power they have and the society at their fingertips.

On top of this, being an archangel isn’t genetic, its a completely random occurrence. any heavenborn angel could be an archangel, as the traits of one manifest with time and as the individual grows older.

Glamour

Angels also have magic called glamour, which is basically illusion magic. They use it to hide features such as wings or markings when on earth, or simple traits like eye colour or scars. This is limited to themselves though, they cannot glamour others.

Its a variation of the fae glamour, although normal angels have far more limited ability with it. Glamour also drains the user, physically and mentally, and requires some level of focus. There is a point of exhaustion where glamour totally fails, and the user cannot use it until they get some rest. However this only happens after very prolonged use without any break or well, rest.

Normal angels can glamour most of themselves, although not all of them. they could hide specific traits or change the colour of those traits. Such as hiding an arm or changing hair colours.

Guardian angels can glamour all of themselves, so they’re able to become completely invisible or turn a neon pink, for whatever reason.

Archangels can completely alter their appearance, adding to it with extra wings or arms or whatever they wish. They can make themselves appear bigger or smaller than they are, and with very little toll on them. Their magic is far stronger than other angels, so it requires very little focus or effort to keep the glamour up for long periods of time.

Made angels

Made angels are objects that have died and have been good enough in their lifetime to end up in heaven. Or less good enough, and more perfect in the archangel’s eyes. Since the archangels have the final say in who gets into heaven, they often pick and choose to create the perfect dimension.

There is no visual difference between made and heavenborn angels, though made angels tend to fare better in heaven than heavenborn. the pressure from the archangels is defintely still there though.

Heaven

heaven is a sky dimension. all it is is endless sky and clouds, cities built on small floating islands. No non-angel could live there without some sort of flight device.

The cities are designed specifically for angels, with wide spaces and a lack of stairs, instead leaving space for objects to fly from place to place. as well as this, the buildings have a sort of castle look to them, and often expand up and outwards instead of only outwards. similar to a city build mostly up in a canopy, except without the canopy.

Angel culture

so, angels are brought up with the perfectionist mindset. Be perfect, be wellspoken, no conflict, no nothing. As well as this, they have very traditional values, like wanting kids to be married by a certain age, disobedience being absolutely unacceptable, and every celebration or event having to be meaningful and, well, perfect. Although this mindset tends to breed disobedience more than anything.

Despite these ideologies, they’re still against abuse and violence and such, because it breaks the perfect heaven they work towards.

Relationships are strictly between angels and only angels, and monogamy is the only type of relationship properly recognised, polyamorous relationships do exist though. They’re just waaaay less common. Physical affection in public is kept very minimal, though its normal to be affectionate with a partner when alone.

Angels also cant preen their own wings so they get someone they trust such as a family member, close friend, or partner to do it.

Marriage is highly encouraged in angels, and is treated as an essential thing and final stage in relationships, proof that it’s true love basically. which is romanticised to no end.

Angels care a lot about education too, idealising it and believing that an academically smart child is a good child. A high achieving child also helps with appearances, which are a big thing in heaven.

Fallen angels

When an angel does something evil like a crime or something so morally terrible even the archangels are disgusted, they’re thrown from heaven out onto earth, loosing their wings, but keeping their markings, now an inky black. Or they loose their wings and are just, thrown over the edge of the floating cities. 

ok thats all i got, thanks for coming to my insane ramblings

I was compelled last night and I’m quite honestly scared of whatever 11:59 PM me intended for those middle sections. At least I still know my colors when sleep deprived, and I’m sure someone else on here can fill the blank spots out better than I can on a full eight hours of shut-eye.

you know, an interpretation of ct that I don't see that I personally really love is that she's a fuck up. like yes she's cool and she has some good fight scenes, but a huge part of her character is that she makes mistakes. the mistakes that she makes are ones that on their own aren't the end of the world, but she keeps making these little mistakes, and they eventually add up until she's out of room to make any more.

a really good example of this phenomenon in action is the actions she took leading up to her final confrontation with carolina and tex.

strike one, she thought she saw something in the water, but when asked by the leader what it was, she brushed it off as nothing when even if it had been nothing, it would've been smart to tell him what she thought she saw.

strike two, she didn't sense or notice florida's presence when the leader did, and she looks at the leader twice, once as she pulled out her magnums, and again after she did a scan of the room, almost like she was looking at him for guidance before he finds florida and takes him out with one good axe throw.

strike three, she couldn't convince the leader to leave when they had the chance to get away, and her cheap tricks were not enough to hold off either tex or carolina in a fight. they were only good for incapacitating her opponents enough for her to get away, which doesn't work when she has no escape.

ct is not tex, or carolina, or south. she is not a one woman army who can get herself out of trouble when she's stuck in tough situations. she needs people who can watch her back, she need a team who can cover her when she does mess up, and the leader and his team were not those people. she couldn't bring herself to trust them, and they couldn't bring themselves to trust her, and that cost all of them their lives.

Hi, sorry if this seems like a bizarre request, but I feel it would suit him. Zane seems like he'd be a dancer, and I'd like to see your design of him dancing (it can be as uncomplicated or as complex as you please)! And if you'd like, you could include another Ninja (or as many as you'd like)! It's all up to you; I would like to see him as a dancer! :D

So this ask was from two years ago and I completely forgot it existed but I absolutely loved this idea so here's zane and pixal doing the lindy hop!

i'm gonna be real the random criticism i saw saying that warriors 2024 doesn't "have enough violence" is bothering me so much because the entire conceit of the narrative is inherently violent. it's literally just how about a group of girls can't walk through a city at night without it being an inherently violent experience, even if they seemingly have any power over the streets. the original movie got criticized for being too cartoonishly violent (which is also rich in itself) but when you realize that the story as it exists in the soundtrack is more or less about a group of girls trying to make it home alive as the story's entire conflict and goal, and how that its narrative is a metaphor of the violence that single experience brings, and complain that there's not enough of that violence - then you're missing the point of the remake entirely

Okay...

Okay okay let's calm down.

So the twins ideas of "bliss".

Belphie's was seeing Beel happy right? At first everyone thought it was Beel's bliss to be surrounded by the ultimate buffet. But it wasn't. It was Belphie's idea of bliss to see his twin happy.

Sooooo... the Celestial Realm and the outfits were most likely what Beel thought would make Belphie happy.

We've always suspected that Belphie would be the most likely to want to go back. Belphie has been dwelling in dreams of the past canonically in both games and Beel, as his twin, would know that better than anyone. So I think its a safe assumption that he would think that being in the Celestial Realm would make him happy and Belphie's happiness is his happiness just as the same applies to how Belphie feels about Beel's happiness.

I know. It doesn't exactly eliminate concerns about the brothers doing a 180° and suddenly being cool about the awful things that happened. Lucifer's part in Cocytus was and still is weird and concerning. But I think it's also important to remember that no matter how much trauma an individual suffered it doesn't just make the happy memories go away. They lived in the Celestial Realm for (probably) millenia and they have all kinds of memories of that place as their home. Expecting them to hate their home is maybe going a little far despite the bad things. Yes. Even for Satan.

I still don't think they want to go back. Or at least I hope that's not what we're heading towards. Honestly I want to theorize that Asmo only suggested going to the Celestial Realm either because he wants to flaunt how well he's doing or because of the freaky time shenanigans making him think about the first season's events.

My point is, let's read some more lessons and try to be patient until we have more information.

[roostercrowned]

a thing about me is I WILL go thrifting and make it all about the freaking books

[thelibraryofsylphide]

da*2. is a game

[deus-ex-mona]

pretty minor thing to think about, but i find it interesting how chapter 7 is the first chapter illustration to show chizuutan as chizuru (instead of chuutan)

like, i get it’s a flashback chapter, but we hardly got to see her as chizuru in the previous few chapters thus far… maybe we’ll get to see more of her as her true self after the hiyori fight/make up? only future chapters may tell, i guess…

[dnangelic]

dark obviously hates being called dark-kun over literally anything else like dark-sama or Just Dark but it's also nice when a muse recognizes that he is or at least should be just like. 17.

Actually, on the topic of the baby fever. God it's so frustrating. Bc when I was like 14 ish I was Adamant that I never ever wanted kids. And my dad said smth around the lines of "that'll likely change" (probably from his own experience with this) and I was like NO. it WONT.

And then eventually, age 21-22 ish, I admitted that Okay, I still don't want to have my own kids, but someday maybe I'll adopt...

And Now, 27 years old, I got the general baby fever on occasion. It Did fucking change. And I don't know if I actually WILL bother with having my own kid (I still don't want to go through the hassle and massive body changes). But god. I do see a fucking baby and feel that stab of longing. It's almost like my damned hormones betrayed me or smth. Maddening!

I shall simply write fanfic about it.
