#i'm gonna try not to make these . . . TOO SPOILERY ?

[hmslusitania]

The world felt so lived in. It wasn't a car commercial film, you know? there was cracked paint on Lois's door jamb, and the Kents' house looked like a house anyone I know might've grown up in in the 90s, and everyone was driving shitty, normal cars.

(more spoilery thoughts under the cut)

Also loved all the little world details like Lois's license plate being Delaware and the highway sign giving exit directions to Gotham (as a die hard Gotham-Metropolis twin cities on either side of Delaware Bay truther). The confrontation between the Justice Gang and Supes taking place in the Stagg Industries building despite (iirc) Simon never once actually being mentioned by name (of course, neither was Sapphire, but we also got to see her for like 10 seconds, six of one, half dozen of the other). The billboard for Big Belly Burger and the Kaiju being originally spotted in a Jitters. Markovia being the third country visible in Eve's map leak. Like the movie had whole and total respect for the fact that it is part of a universe, and that that is not Our universe trying to put up with superheroes, but a universe all its own and there's something absolutely refreshing about seeing that in a giant live action format.

Tiny disconnected thought -- Lois said she was just some kid from Bakerline, so like... was General Lane stationed at whatever Fort surely must exist in Metropolis's proximity or is DCU!Lois not an army brat?

Anyway:

A lesser film more cued into public perception of DC comics rather than the vast richness and opportunities actually available would've had the Mr Terrific role just be Bruce, or would've had it be a character called "Mr Terrific" but who was actually just Batman clone 328. And instead it was actually Mr Terrific, badass and surrounded by his T-spheres as intended.

Jimmy!! I have no words!

Lois and Clark having a big dramatic emotional scene while crazy technicolour battle was happening outside the window, both of them completely unfussed about it.

Perry just sitting and listening to Jimmy and Lois's pitch for their article while all of Metropolis is evacuating around them, also unbothered.

Rex!!!! Joey!!? Like has that kid been seen anywhere since that BoP arc in 2003?

Spending the whole movie wondering why Clark was letting his dog live in the Fortress, alone, without any training or manners, only to Understand Completely in approximately 10 seconds at the end.

I did also appreciate the Ultraman fakeout and him being a clone instead of from Earth-3. It's too soon to be pulling in the multiverse, y'know? But for my money, since he was cloned "wrong" I'm going with he's gonna come out the other side of that black hole as Biz, because I think that would be fun. Although, y'know, with the sick '90s flow, could also be angling closer to Henshaw. I look forward to seeing.

The Engineer was so perfectly unsettling, and since she's not dead, and they've apparently got an Authority movie on the docket upcoming, I have to assume she'll be part of that, right?

And final thoughts before I make myself go to bed:

Nicholas Hoult was extraordinary as Lex, truly he was, and also I barely noticed because David Corenswet was so phenomenally perfect as Clark. It is the only time I've ever seen a live-action Superman lean into the part where Clark says "golly" as an oath, and fully sell it. Like of course Lois (Rachel Brosnahan, also perfect) would have difficulty admitting to herself/him that she's in love with him. He's ridiculous. He's a ridiculous person. Absolutely absurd. Physical embodiment of hopepunk, and also broke into her apartment to make breakfast at night. Did you know, he can be a real jerk sometimes 🥺

UNHINGED & INSANE NSFW CHAN HEADCANONS (a.k.a. thoughts that make the Holy Water boil)

1. Mirror kink menace.

He has a full-length mirror at the foot of the bed not for décor—but because he needs you to see yourself while he ruins you. Pulls your hair back, pins your throat, and says:

“Look how messy you get for me. Look at your fucking face. That’s mine.”

2. Daddy but make it unholy.

He doesn't ask to be called Daddy. He doesn’t need to. He just growls when you don’t—and that’s somehow worse. When you finally whisper “Yes, Daddy,” mid-whimper, he moans like he’s been waiting for hours.

3. Praise + filth hybrid.

Chan doesn’t choose between praise or degradation. He does both in the same breath.

“Such a good girl. So obedient. Letting me fuck you dumb like the needy little cockslut you are.”

4. Clean freak, filthier mouth.

He’s germaphobic, yes. His sheets are triple-washed. His desk is spotless. But he’ll spit in your mouth and call it communion. He’ll say, “Swallow it, angel,” while fisting your hair and stroking your throat to watch it go down.

5. Voice kink king.

He’ll narrate everything he’s doing while he’s doing it.

“That’s it. Let me in. Mmm, yeah—so fucking tight. You clench every time I say your name, don’t you? Look at that.” And then he’ll hum like it’s a song he's producing in real time.

6. Gamer? No. Game Master.

He owns a vibrator with a remote app—and uses it at the most evil moments. Like when you’re at dinner. Or trying to speak in a meeting. He’ll text:

“Turn it to Level 3. Keep eye contact. Don’t come.” If you fail, he shows up after and makes you beg not to be edged for hours.

7. Permission kink, but make it a contract.

He writes out rules in a sleek black notebook with your name embossed on the front.

“Rule 3: No touching yourself unless I give explicit permission. Sign below.” You laugh at first—until he handcuffs you to the bed for breaking it.

8. Aftercare demon.

Wipes you down with a warm cloth, wraps you in his hoodie, gives you a boba and says, “All good, angel?” like he didn’t just fold you in half and leave you unable to spell your name. He’ll even record voice memos for you to listen to when he's away:

“Hey, baby. Drink water. Touch yourself if you miss me. Two fingers. Slow. Pretend it's me.”

9. Mindfuck Mastery.

He gaslights your orgasms. Like:

“You didn’t come yet, baby. That wasn’t real. You’re gonna do it for me now. Real this time.” Meanwhile, your legs are twitching and your soul is halfway out of your body.

10. Soft dom mask, unholy core.

He’ll tuck your hair behind your ears like a boyfriend. Kiss your forehead. Say “You’re safe.” Then bend you over the nearest surface and spit in your cunt with the most guttural voice you’ve ever heard.

CRIMSON PACT : RIDING LESSONS (BONUS SCENE) NSFW | vampire!Bang Chan x fem!reader | pure filth. no aftercare. just ruin.

“You want to be on top tonight?”

His voice was low. Teasing. Soaked in that lazy, dangerous kind of patience only predators had. You were already naked, already aching. Straddling his lap like a good girl who thought she was in charge. He wasn’t even pretending to be dressed—shirt open, pants undone, cock already hard between you. Waiting. Pulsing.

Your hands flattened on his chest. “I want to ride you.” His brow quirked. Slowly. Like you’d just said something adorable. “Mm,” he hummed. “You think you want to ride me.”

Your hips rolled forward instinctively—slick heat dragging over the head of his cock. He groaned softly, letting it happen, hands still planted lazily on your thighs. But his eyes were fixed on yours. Dark. Amused. Possessive. Like a leash wrapped in velvet.

You reached between your bodies, wrapped your fingers around him—and watched his jaw flex. “Let me?” you whispered.

He didn’t answer.

Just leaned in and bit your lip. Not hard. Not bleeding. Just claiming. Then he sat back on his elbows, smirking faintly. “Go ahead, sweetheart. Show me how badly you need Daddy’s cock.”

Your whole body shivered. He knew exactly what that name did to you.

You lined him up, breath trembling—and sank down slow.

Your cunt clenched immediately, body stretching around his thick cock, and Chan groaned—head tilting back, fangs just visible between parted lips. “Fuuuck—look at you. So fucking tight.” You whimpered. He felt impossibly deep. He wasn’t even moving and he already had you twitching.

Your hands braced on his chest, and you started to ride.

Slow at first. Testing. Letting your hips grind and lift, trying to take the rhythm into your own hands. But Chan’s gaze never wavered. And he wasn’t helping you.

He let you do all the work—eyes locked to the point where your bodies met, jaw clenched like he was holding back a growl.

“You look so pretty like this,” he said finally, voice dipped in smoke. “Trying so hard to be in control.”

Your breath hitched. “I am in control.”

That made him smile. Slow. Sharp. “Then why are you shaking?” You were trembling. Because his cock was dragging against every spot inside you, thick and deep and so perfectly shaped it felt like he’d been sculpted for this. Because he wasn’t even thrusting—but he was ruining you with just the weight of his body under yours.

Your fingers gripped his chest harder. You bounced faster now—moaning, panting, trying to chase your own high.

And he still… didn’t move.

“You’re soaking me,” he muttered, eyes dragging up your chest. “Making a mess all over Daddy’s cock. Filthy little thing.”

You whimpered. “Need to come—please—”

His hand snapped up, wrapping around your throat in one swift move. Not squeezing. Just holding. “Then come.”

You gasped. “On my cock, while I just watch. Since you’re in charge tonight.” That tone—mocking, indulgent—daddy dom dripping with condescension—It made your cunt clench so tight he groaned, cock twitching inside you.

“Fuck,” he growled. “You’re gonna squeeze me dry at this rate.”

You leaned forward. Pressed a kiss to his mouth—then to his cheek—then…To his fangs. You ran your tongue along one. He went still. You did it again. Licked it. Pressed your fingertip to it. Traced the curve of the sharp tip like it was something delicate. And Chan—he let you. Let you put your fingers in his mouth. Let you touch his fangs. Let you pretend.

But you felt it—the tension in his body. The coiled restraint.

“You’re shaking,” you whispered.

He chuckled. Low. Dangerous. “You like playing with fire, baby?” he purred, voice muffled around your finger. “You think you’re not gonna get burned?”

And then he snapped.

His hands gripped your hips hard, and he thrust up—once—brutal and deep. You moaned loud, body jolting as his cock hit a spot so deep it stole your breath.

“Thought I’d let you keep the reins?” he snarled, pulling you down again. “Not a fucking chance.”

He began fucking up into you—hips snapping, cock slamming deep while you bounced in his grip like a ragdoll. You cried out—loud, incoherent, eyes wide and glassy.

“You ride Daddy?” he growled, fangs gleaming. “No, sweetheart. Daddy rides you.”

You tried to speak—tried to beg—but your words slurred into whimpers.

“You gonna cum again?” he taunted, snapping his hips harder. “Go on. Show me what all that fake control got you.”

Your orgasm hit like a lightning strike. White-hot, shaking, overwhelming. You came hard, body spasming, cunt pulsing around his cock so tight he groaned, eyes flashing black.

“Fuck—fuck, just like that—”

And then he bit you. Right where your shoulder met your neck. You screamed—again—pleasure exploding as his fangs sank deep and his cock slammed into you one last time—And he came. Hot. Hard. Deep. His grip crushed you to his chest as he emptied inside you, groaning against your skin, blood on his lips and cum spilling from your soaked, twitching pussy.

You didn’t even register when he licked the wound. Or when he whispered—against your throat, with breathless reverence:

“Mine.”

[theallianceofcelestials]

Hi! Hope you guys are doing well! I was wondering if you could make a drabble of witching hours eclipse’s childhood? Or when killcode found him? Killcode just seems so interesting in this au, with the little tidbits eclipse talks about :)

Sadly KC is pretty spoilery, especially because the 3rd story in WH is gonna be about KC raising Eclipse, and because the big man himself will be introduced in the next story

But I have this little scene that I've written about them, that'll likely get a reprise in the 3rd story, so here it is! Some bits have been changed however to emit spoilers

Killcode will have to admit, he was teasing a little.

"Papa! Papa wait!"

But only a little! How could he not when the young little witch just made it too easy?

"Papa wait up!"

The little one was oblivious to it though, fully believing his guardian couldn't hear him. He could. He's always paying attention to his son.

"Papa wait for me!"

The small pitter-patter of little feet when it meets wood is just too precious. The adorable frilly white and yellow dress he bought for the child flaring quite amusingly as he jumped down a log.

Almost as if he could sail down with it. Maybe he should charm the dress to do that. That'd be adorable.

"Papa!"

He's getting louder. The little one is losing patience, and perhaps Killcode can admit he's being a little mean. Just a bit longer.

"Papa— argh!"

The white little witch hat chose this moment to slide down over golden white optics. He barely suppresses the chuckle in time.

"Stupid hat"

Oh, the witchlet is grumbling now. How cute.

"Papa wait! My legs are shorter!"

He's still determinedly holding the basket in his hands, now once again at his heels after he finished his fight with the offending hat. The little one is jumping now, in the hopes if he's higher perhaps his guardian will 'notice' him.

Killcode will miss these times when he can mess with the young witch like this. He will grow up much too fast, and then he'll realise when he's being messed with.

"Papa! Papa wait!"

He's looking at the child out of the corner of his eye, smile wide. His child just looks so cute hopping up and down while looking up with giant sad optics.

Aw, does he truly believe he'll be left behind? Silly child.

"Pap— aaahg!"

Oh dear! He wasn't supposed to fall—

The little one gets up like nothing happened, before Killcode could whirl around to look him over, already back on his heels. Such a sweet little thing.

"Paaaapaaaaaaa!"

Alright, he's been mean enough

He stops, humming in mock concern.

"Hmmm, where might little Eclipse be? Oh dear, it appears I've lost him!"

"No you haven't papa, don't be silly!"

He makes a show of looking around, optics crinkling when he hears a little giggle.

"Eclipse? Where might you be?"

"Down here!"

He looks down and gasps.

"There you are! I was getting worried!"

The little witchlet chuckles, rocking on his feet. It makes his witch hat hit him in the face, the little star clanking against his casing. The little grumble that follows makes him chuckle.

"Perhaps I should take over the–"

"No! I'm bringing the basket!"

Well alright then

"Well, I believe I will just have to bring you then"

The child shrieks with laughter as he's picked up and a kiss is pressed to his face. He playfully baps Killcode on the face, trying to get away.

"Noooo! Papa stoooop!"

"Stop you say? However will we get home then?"

The little giggles it earns him are entirely worth it.

He sighs in contentment, fixing his hold under striped stockings. His child leans into the hold.

"Papa I was calling so much and you didn't hear me! Is the air different up here?"

Such sweet cluelessness. He barely supresses a coo. The child is already old enough to think that's embarrassing.

Then the little one gasps, looking up at him in innocent curiosity.

"Or is it that thing that happens with old people?"

That one sentence hits him like a bull, completely unexpected. Especially delivered in such an innocent way.

"Don't worry papa! I'll love you even if you're getting old! Then I will be the one taking care of you!"

He's glowing in his happiness, and Killcode thinks those flowers growing on that tree weren't so vibrant before. Such a sweet little witchling.

"Then I'm terribly lucky"

He nuzzles the small head, careful of the little rays. His son returns the affection enthusiastically.

"Can we have pie for dinner?"

He chuckles. The little one is quite predictable.

"We shall see Eclipse"

The forest is calming as he disappears into it, no doubt responding to the return of the witchling's magic. So young and already so powerful.

He's eternally proud, filled with such love he didn't believe possible for his kind.

Killcode thinks he'd be forever happy with just one small little witchling by his side.

[ask-the-druggieverse]

Sorry if this ask is all over the place, but I just kind of, slammed my brain juice onto the keyboard and thought this up. 😅

Are there any rehab centers in the town? If so, does anyone we’re familiar with attend? Or are they doing their own at home recovery?

What made the crew who’ve gone sober do so? What was the breaking point / moment of clarity that made them give up their addictions? Was it a slow burn or a sudden moment? And how did they go about it? Cold Turkey or weening off slowly?

What’s the fatality rate due to OD’s in the town?

Hope I didn’t ask too many questions, just had a yap spasm and couldn’t choose a single question to ask. ^^;;;

If you want, you can take only one or two questions from above and answer them! If not, then you can just ignore this. ;;;

Thank you! :]

1/? (If my answers are too long I'll quickly do a different ask and come back to this BSHGBBJH)

MAIN: @inkyu

Back | Start | Next

- ALT - EPIC: What the bruh!? ASKER: Hi :3 EPIC: What's this? MOONLIGHT: It's an ask box MOONLGITH: The Creator's give you asks and you answer them MOONGLIHT: (Me and Ccino... used to get a lot of them in our old MAU...) MOONGLIHT: And it looks like this one is asking some very private stuff that's fitting for you Epic MOONLIGHT: And don't worry MOONLIGHT: All asks are private so you won't get into any legal trouble... MOONLIGHT: Unless one of the askers manages to tell others then you'd be in trouble

- IDK - anywhos I'm honestly glad the story is going even if it's slow, this is my first ask blog ever and my first "ask to give story" type of story telling ever, so I'm trying to make it make sense in the best way possible, I've aso noticed i've been drawing backgrounds a lot more? neeto!!

Also to all of the asks about Bill they will be answered in a bulk/group without getting all too spoilery how HOW it's going to happen i'll just say a word that will give you an idea of what will happen: Crash Out/Mental break down (I'M SO SORRY IT'S TAKING FOREVER!!! QWQ)

Also tiny note to make the story go faster I'm gonna try and upload about each 2-3 days, however this means less pages/panels in one post (so instead of 4-6 it's be 1-3 like this U_U)

[jcollinswrites]

JC!!!

No you did not make a father/son RO choice 💀

I just saw this and ofcourse you did 🤣😭

It's gonna be me in Honor amongst thieves all over again.

Now i have to ask another two parter question:

Sorry, i know I'm annoying 😑

1. How would Namer's son actually feel about him dating an MC around their age?

And 2. Much more importantly.

TOTALLY HYPOTHETICAL!!!!!

Completely

I never do this....

Clearly!!!

But say you struggle to really choose between the ROs. And you kinda romance more than one....🫣

How would the ROs react to that? Are some of them very jealous? And who would have the most rivalry dynamic among the ROs if MC was interested in more than one RO.

Just for shits and giggles... i completely have no problem with this in every other game.........

Also hiiiiiii!!! 😇💕

No you did not make a father/son RO choice 💀 I just saw this and ofcourse you did 🤣😭

Huh? I did?

Oh wait. I did. Oops 😇 Could be father/daughter too 🙃

1. How would Namer's son actually feel about him dating an MC around their age?

Very weirded out. They would be uncomfortable around MC for a long time. I think they would need some years to get used to it. If MC is cool about it, then maybe sooner, but I don't think Ahmose could ever really be friends with that MC, not on a deeper level.

you struggle to really choose between the ROs. And you kinda romance more than one....🫣

I thought about this for a long time, and I came to the conclusion that I will do locked romance routes. Not because I don't like jealousy scenes (I love them), but I think I already have way too many variables in the story to be able to implement a who-dates-who/ break-up/get-together-again thing. It would just be too much to write and I'm already writing A LOT.

So, my current plan is to make a choice in Chapter 4 (up to change), where you choose your final RO and get stuck with it 'til the bitter end. I'm sorry if this disappoints some readers, but I think this is the best solution for me to be able to deliver a quality story.

How would the ROs react to that? Are some of them very jealous? And who would have the most rivalry dynamic among the ROs if MC was interested in more than one RO.

For the aforementioned reasons, this ask is not spoilery then, so here you go 😀

I think Narmer would be the most jealous lol. He would try not to show it, but he really wouldn't like it if MC suddenly starts showing interest in someone else. (ESPECIALLY if that other person is his kid, then he would be pissed off. Unless the MC is a teen. Then he would go YES go choose Ahmose you idiot)

Qenna would take that as an opportunity to push the MC towards the other, clearly better, more emotionally stable, not-a-trainwreck potential love interest. It would hurt them like a bitch, but they would still do it.

Zaia would sulk. They would be conflicted between wanting to prove that they are clearly better than that other nobody, but at the same time, Zaia would realize that MC would probably be better off with a fellow human.

Tabiry would be a bit jealous. But she also knows that the MC is a person with free will and a free heart, so she would try to up her game, but otherwise, wouldn't interfere. She would sulk in private.

Ahmose would be a bit heartbroken. I think they would just go for advice to Qenna, who is actually not the worst person to ask for advice, and Qenna would tell them to have confidence, be themselves, and let the MC choose what they want. (bit hypocritical, but that's Qenna in a nutshell)

Long ass answer lol, but thanks for the messages! ✨ (you are not annoying)

[spyrkle4]

My thoughts on the ending of Danganronpa Despair Time Chapter 2

Man just when I think I can predict what'll happen in Drdt it throws a 180

I'm gonna hide the spoilerly stuff under the read more but first things first of my god... this was great!!! And it also makes me TERRIFIED for chapter 3 because chapter 2 was enough of an emotional rollar coaster, idk if the dev or anyone working on drdt will see this silly post bc a LOT of people have been sharing their thoughts on the ending of chapter 2 but I really enjoyed the ending

And that I don't mind if chapter 3 has a long wait bc my mental health is in shambles after this chapter

Okay now the spoilery stuff!

-First of all, I did find it interesting that the secrets (including David in his joker arc) was a bit of a red herring, the secrets weren't part of the murder/case at all, unless you count the part of Arturo threatening Eden over his secret, but after this trial EVERYONE's laundry has been aired and I wonder if that'll be touched upon in Chapter 3

-I think I've said this before but I love how the dead cast (Xander, Min, Arei, and now Ace) are just constantly mentioned, haunting the narrative, I'm pretty sure they're gonna keep that up

-Teruko having a mental breakdown after this, like homegirl spent ALL of chapter 2 trying to repress her grief over Xander and Min, but now that Arei, Ace, and potentially Levi are dead she ended up cracking, chapter 2 ending with her breaking down in the darkened trial room is heartbreakiiiing

-I read a couple posts before typing this and one of them mentioned that "MonoTV's comment about the most mastermind-y person getting punished" applied to Teruko almost being shot after telling Ace to kill MonoTV (she tried), the foreshadowing of this, like hey guys remember in chapter 1 when Ace was dragged into watching horror movies and he commented they were so scary he could've died from it :))

-Levi's really putting the L in Levi dude cant stop getting injured. but seriously I just wanna know WHY DID HE DO THAT LEVI OH MY GOD. LEVIIII

-MonoTV genuinely scared me, also the implications of who could potentially be running this show is also scaring me. and the implications that they're programmed to run this show until EVERYONE is dead.

-Not Ace's excecution being he gets psychologically tortured until its too much for his heart

-The fact it wasn't related to his talent but it was related to his constant fear of death is just evil.

-Also the way Ace goes out, before the ending I kind of thought his arc was a mirror to Arei's where that while she improved and started to trust some of the others, Ace became more cruel and distrustful, even to those still reaching out to him, he was so scared of dying that he ironically caused his own death by participating in the killing game and killing Arei

-And that he was so scared of dying, yet told MonoTV to go ahead with his execution so that the others could give Levi medical treatment and he even yells at Arturo that he CAN save Levi if he tries, dude in the end did change but sadly like Arei, he died before before being able to fully embrace that change

-also if you want to go more feral over the little details check out the names on the gravestones :))) I know at least ONE of the names is his only friend. And based his line of "I'm gonna have THREE deaths on my hands!" His friend might be deceased and he blames himself for it

-I was thinking "I sure hope the squeamish of the cast aka Charles and Rose shield their eyes during the execution" and then there was Whit's line of telling Charles to cover his eyes when Teruko is about to get shot

-Whit's sprite when the gang realize the elevators are closed is scaring me a little. its also scaring the Whit fans!

-That's all I'm gonna say about the ending, it was emotional and at least Ace was able to have some good moments before his end, I wonder what'll happen with the secrets aftermath including David causing problems on purpose, the cast realizing that the killing game is making them worse, and all the little lore that got dropped.

[rhonuscorner]

Before I ask my question, I just wanted to say your alien DCA designs are so cool looking; like the amount of detail and obvious passion you put into your art and just the concepts behind the story itself is mind boggling, very impressive😄

On to the question, if it’s not too spoilery, I was wondering what their personalities are like? How they interact with each other and other beings of their species.

Aaaawwww thank you so much!!! That made me so happy to hear, you just made my day with this ask <3333333 I hope your pillow is nice and cool on both sides forever!❤️‍

As for your question, there are some similarities with their canon personalities. Sun is more outgoing, the more extrovert one, but not nearly as hyper and in your face as canon Sun is. Moon is not introvert but he is more shy, doesn't really like to have all the attention on him. A gentle soul.

They've both enjoyed a solid education, as befits their ranking as advisors as well as their status as (to use an earth term that comes closest) princes. Sun also has a particular fondness for technical stuff, he loves to tinker with pieces of scrap and obsolete tech and try to make something new and useful out of it in his free time - he has lots of shiny cool ideas in his noggin that he wants to make a reality - but that also means he has the technical know-how to do more serious repairs when the situation calls for it.

Arts 'n crafts for the advanced lol.

Moon is a great observer and that makes him a great tactician. The more silent type, he prefers to watch from the sidelines and is usually quick to pick up on things others might miss. Very useful to have someone like Moon around in situations that require quick thinking. He usually won't speak up unless he feels he has something important to say, compared to Sun who is much more of a chatterbox.

They're very close, when you see one the other usually isn't far behind.

Their role as advisors to someone I'm not quite gonna talk about just yet, also means they have a more public role with the population because the one they are advising is often too busy to make a lot of public appearances, so Sun and Moon step in to do that for them.

They get along well with other nebuterrans, they don't see themselves as better or anything like that and they're well liked, but they're wary of ori'esires - meaning outsiders, anyone who is not nebuterran. As a species they keep to their own (with the exception of approved trade partners) and Sun and Moon are no different. Outsiders can't be trusted.

Except, right now... they don't have much of a choice but to put their trust in a certain outsider 👀

[thedorkurge]

are you planning any companion romances for Schism? And if not, did you consider any? And would you want to share some headcanons 👉🏽👈🏽

Thank you for asking❤️

This is kind of spoilery, but no, i'm not planning on any romances. This fic is already going to be very long, and i don't think it needs additional relationship drama😅.

I have considered what it might look like for different companions though, so I'll happily give some thoughts under the cut!

To be clear, none of these are about Enver actually catching feelings. He's just a manipulative bastard, really. It took years, a demigod, and a plan for world domination for him to develop feelings before, a bunch of desperate underlings companions in the woods isn't gonna do it

The first and most obvious choice I considered was Wyll. Wyll and Enver already have a very unhealthy dynamic, where Enver manipulates the hell out of him using all of his deepest insecurities, and he would get such a kick out of walking all over Wyll's boundaries and playing with his feelings. Not just because it's entertaining, but also to 1. Prove that he can play the hero enough to fool and manipulate even the most moral person in the group, 2. Get back at the Duke by stealing his son and, most importantly, 3. Regain a foothold in the baldurian elite via his connection to the Grand Duke's son.

If Enver was to pursue anything with a companion, that would make the most sense. Wyll wouldn't know what happened until he was in too deep.

The second choice was Gale. I do love a good Gortash x Gale concept, and it would truly be a full-speed corruption arc for Gale. I find their dynamic a little less interesting than with Wyll, but I do like the idea of either Gale being turned towards Bane (ambitious guy, willing to follow his lover pretty much anywhere, missing a divine connection), or Enver using him as his backup plan- a way to achieve divinity if the plan fails. He'd never pick Gale over controlling the Absolute of course, so that would never come to fruition.

I don't see anything happening with Astarion. He's too much like the act Enver is used to putting on (only worse) and Enver sees right through it. He knows that Astarion sees sex as a tool, much like Enver usually does, and there's really no point in both of them trying to manipulate each other. Especially because i don't see there being any real attraction there. In my headcanon Enver isn't all that into sex itself, unless it's accompanied by an interesting dynamic, and genuine attraction is reserved for people he respects (a very small group).

Lae'zel definitely tried it, but their dynamic is already clear cut- she's a soldier, she follows his lead, she respects his decisions. He likes that dynamic, and won't want to change anything about it. She's the person he gets closest to respecting.

Shadowheart...That was never going to happen. He does not respect her, he has nothing to gain by trying to start anything, and they're already on the wrong foot in these last few chapters. And honestly? Even if he doesn't respect her (and thinks she's a bad sharran) part of him will always wonder if that assessment is right. After all, a true sharran might pretend to be bad at what she does to lure him into a false sense of security. He'd never be sure that he had the upper hand, and he'd hate it.

As for Minthara... They work great as allies, but would not be a good match as lovers. Her putting them on the same level and demanding things of him would annoy the living hells out of him. Her implying that she's even close to being an equal to him (and later Durge) and expecting him to commit, or even worse, submit, to her would go against the very core of his being. They would be excellent companions as long as she felt indebted to him and pledged herself to his cause, but he would never want her to try to climb the ranks in any way. Toxic mean girls best friend dynamic tbh.

And he straight up doesn't respect (or even like) Halsin. Big druid guy who cares too much about nature and despises big cities and machinery? Yeah, no. He's only here for convenience. Enver isn't gonna fuck him.

When would you say Wade started having feelings for Logan? :) ignore this if u want too lol

Ok ok ok

So I should probably not answer cause spoilers for Wade pov - but also who tf am i, marvel? its fanfic and i have no self control

I will however try to learn how tumblr works and put the spoilers below the line in case anyone wants to go into the wade pov blind

So yknow how Logan basically has a crush from the start, but its like a slow gentle build until he realises he's in love with Wade? And hes like huh well fuck, but also is like probably in hindsight I've been in love a little while. Kinda just puts his head in his hands and is like well this is something I now have to deal with

Wade's not quite like that

Wade has a crush from the start as well (in fact had a crush on Wolverine before he got to know Logan) and he's aware of it and wants to see where it goes, but after Vanessa he is initially not trying to rush into anything. So for a while he just kinda enjoys the crush - which is romantic feelings I guess, its not just "wow he's hot", and Wade is intending for it to maybe go somewhere, but he's also pretty detirmined at first not to put pressure on it. For a while he's like "yeah I have a crush and I'd like to see where this goes but I'm not like... gonna die if this doesn't work out"

And then comes the point (the exact moment of which I will keep secret to make more fun when the pov is out) where he falls in love/realises he's in love with Logan. And the idea of "just seeing where this goes" is out the window immediatly, because it hits him *hard* to a point where its almost terrifying, and it really does suddenly feel like he *will* die if he fucks this up and Logan leaves

So yeah sorry this doesnt actually answer the question entirely. To actually answer it somewhat, the love realisation will come around a similar point in the timeline to Logan's, but again, wanna keep the exact moment secret for now hehehehe

thanks for the ask i hope this is the right balance of spoilery vs not ruining it hehehe

Honestly I think you're one of my favourite kdrama bloggers on here and I'm curious: what are the kdramas you consider to be perfect? Like top to bottom not a single flaw seen. What's the best of dramaland for you?

Awww thank you! I love this type of ask too!

Any list of mine is gonna be of course vvv subjective (I am not a romcom lover for example) and I can guarantee you that the moment I hit post, I am gonna lose my mind because I will remember I forgot something.

Also, no flaw by definition excludes some of my faves where there are a few minor flaws but the rest is so amazing it doesn't matter (The Legend First King's Four Gods comes to mind - the first ep ie prologue set 1k years before the main story - is a lil cheesy. But the rest is so good I don't even care and same for My Dearest where I'd perhaps remove the final amnesia bit but it's a perfect drama otherwise with the rest so good I don't even care. So perhaps they should be listed.)

But anyway here are are some dramas where I have not seen a single flaw, perfect dramas.

Mawang (also known as The Devil or Lucifer) - probably the best kdrama dealing with revenge ever made - the damage, the driving need, the destruction of self and yet destruction of self without it. To really explain anything about it would be spoilery so all I am going to say is it revolves around an icy lawyer with a secret, a hot headed cop chasing a string of murders, and a librarian who can read past events by touching objects or people. The way I cried. The way I stared in shock as it ended. The sheer perfection of it all - the acting, the relationships, the writing. I get emotional just thinking of it.

IRIS - yup, an action drama. I am not much of a fan of various sequels/spin-offs (involving different characters, you do not need to watch anything else if you watched IRIS or to watch IRIS to watch the others) but the original is amazing. Sure, it's an actioner. It's also an amazing character study of a person taken apart and trying to put himself together, of past tangling, of people passing or failing tests set by life. It's just - AAAAAAAAA also yet another drama I bawled for hours over.

Train - Yoon Si Yoon is a cop slipping between alternate universes in search of a killer seems like a procedural with a side of scifi but it's more of a meditation on love and loss and what drives us to keep living (or not.)

Someday - hands down the most obscure kdrama on this list, this is a tale of four people whose lives intersect - a mangaka seeking inspiration, a sort of private detective hiding unimaginable trauma under his sunny demeanor, a manipulative yet childlike psychologist and a business minded friend of the last one, the sanest of them all. When people discuss healing dramas, this is the one that comes to mind. My favorite is the detective's arc because it's one of those trauma sunshine things where he's coping, coping, coping and then...stops.

Empress Ki and 6 Flying Dragons - if you watch only two long sageuks, make it these ones. They are smart (esp 6FD), and they are such amazing complex character studies of people being hollowed out by power. The OTPs are amazing and what I love but the character study is even better. And both are epic in all senses of the world.

Speaking of sageuks, Slave Hunters (also known as Chuno) about a former nobleman who's a slave hunter now, an escape slave who used to be a general, and a slave woman masquerading as an aristocrat is my favorite sageuk of all time - a love story, a character story, and a story of the dispossessed, this is smart and grim and hopeful and just - if there was ever a perfect sageuk, this is it.

The Princess' Man and Flower of Evil - ie Moon Chae Won loves a feral mess and goes MINE! TPM is a smart emotional sageuk, one of the best out there and FoE is a study of love and trauma.

Something Happened in Bali, Padam Padam, A Love to Kill, Spring Waltz, Thank You, Snow Queen, That Winter the Wind Blows - old school melodramas (perhaps not TY so much, it's more complicated in genre) that push people to the limits to expose their deepest selves.

My Country the New Age, Hong Gil Dong, Rebel the Thief Who Stole the People, The Crowned Clown, Return of Iljimae - they focus on class in period setting (just as Chuno did) and make me care and think.

Worlds Within - seemingly about lives of studio workers, this is a rare drama where you feel you are peeking at real people.

Gloria and Family Honor - 50 ep drama where I'd remove nothing and that feels so intimate.

W Two Worlds, Extraordinary You, The Moon in the Day, Live Up to Your Name, Queen In Hyun's Man - high concepts that improbably work and make you think and feel.

Secret Garden, City Hunter, Healer, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Faith, Tale of the Nine Tailed, I Hear Your Voice - just a wonderful good time.

Gaksital - take a bad guy, make him your protag, slowly redeem him and put him through hell.

Bad Guys - a bleak take on revenge and truth but also a damn good time at the same time somehow.

Beyond Evil and Cruel City - about cops but not really. About forgiveness, love and limits.

Come and Hug Me - brought me back to kdramas. A love story and trauma story and a bit of a thriller. It's everything.

Beauty Inside, Last Scandal, City Hall, My Girl, Delightful Girl Chunhyang and Hometown Cha Cha Cha - it is very rare for me to love romcoms. These few make the list. They also made me cry so make of it what you will.

Shut Up Flower Boy Band - the only time I liked a teen drama.

Capital Scandal and Chicago Typewriter - masterpieces dealing with the 1930s revolutionaries.

Que Sera Sera - if you love dysfunction and intense shipping, oh boy!

I am sure the moment I hit post, I will remember something else, but this will do for now.

ETA: aaaaaa Damo!!! My very first sageuk and what a way to start!!! Perfection.

ETA2: Arang and the Magistrate! OK Shin Min Ah is in an awful lot of these...

[bridehall-if]

Will Harriet's romance route be a caring/loving one from her side or will it be more of a hot and cold situation? (As in... will she try to deny her feelings for MC and act indifferent at times or will she embrace them and be open about her attraction to/with the MC).

I know the story is in early development so you don't have to answer it if you don't want to or if you feel like it's too spoiler-y, but I'm just very curious about her and her romance route hehe.

Because Harriet is married, she obviously can't be very outward about her feelings toward the MC, however she's not in denial about them. It's an unspoken truth within the house that Harriet and her husband, Amos, aren't exactly in the most passionate relationship, so she doesn't have many reservations about being unfaithful, however she still sort of respects his dignity so she's not gonna like. Make out with MC in public or something? In private, however, she's pretty caring towards the MC.

Her route also varies a lot based on the MC's choices on things unrelated to romance. One specific choice the MC makes around the middle of the story seriously changes their relationship dynamic, (it's also one of the biggest branch splits I have planned so far) but alas, tis too spoilery to get into now 🤭

[leidensygdom]

So what’s Argyros’ personality like?? And what’s her backstory, if you don’t mind sharing? I know I’m pretty late to this but man the design is SO cool and I’m invested

Here's a fresh Argy doodle to go with the answers!

The personality: They're carefree, highly social, sometimes a bit too direct, and quite flirty. She craves human (in a broad sense) connection and she's highly social. Which means Argy is absolutely thriving right now as they're just studying medicine at the moment.

They came with quite a lot of medical knowledge and studying is an attempt to try to know why did they even have that in their database and personality. It's almost a bit of an obsession: She feels the need to study every little bit that makes up flesh-based lifeforms, because she feels they're far too fragile. Argyros is caring to an uncomfortable degree at times, but it comes from their need to ensure everyone is in perfect condition.

They're more than happy to help heal a wound and maybe study you a bit on the way. And their skills as a healer are quite good, even if having a dozen eyes and a giant halo on you can be a bit overwhelming.

Despite his fairly open attitude, he speaks little of his concerns or worries, and does rarely share any detail about his more personal thoughts. There's definitely something wrong with them, but there's just one person they've talked about this. Despite how much Argyros love putting others back together, they keep themselves quite private.

The backstory: I can't really share all that much since it's spoilery for my fellow players (as she's gonna be a NPC in a Pathfinder 2e game), but she basically has not much of an idea about it herself. She was suddenly aware of existing one day, and had some memories and knowledge, but no exact idea of where were they made, and for. Trying to find a place to fit in was hard, and trying to search for answers was even harder: It seems there is something actively trying to not let them do so.

They're not entirely sure where does their divinity come from either. It's not unusual for people to be born with extraplanar influences, but Argyros was either created or infused with that divinity. But she doesn't know who or why, and isn't too willing to admit that they just have no clue. One of the main party members is gonna be a proper celestial, and I'm sure they'll be a bit of at odds about this!

[karoochui]

I just wanted to say I am so enamoured with Binary Insurgence! I eat up everything, every little crumb, you drop about it and the entire idea is so interesting to me! I'm so in love with stories and worlds like this! I'm also curious to know about the relationship between Sun and Moon, if it's alright to ask. How was it before the fire compared to after? Does their relationship begin to mend (because I'm certain over the years it deteriorated) when y/n comes back into the picture? If any of this is too spoilery or you just haven't fleshed it out yet then you don't have to answer! I'm just super curious about the boys and how you see their dynamic/relationship. I just look forward to seeing how their bond has grown and/or broken and how it may be mended over time.

AHH im glad you like it so much!! Im happy to talk about what i've got, but you are right not everything is fully fleshed out. I have points i wanna get to but while im brainstorming and planning i make up a lot of stuff as i go and then go over it again later to see if i like it or can connect stuff in any way. I have 3 chapters for Arc 1 fully summarized as of now! (Which probably doesn't seem like a lot but i like my chapters long, so it's quite a bit actually).

I wanna say, too, that i'm planning for the first story to be more in the perspective of the reader, so most things about Sun and Moon's personal thoughts and feelings are gonna be more implied than said. I might have some switching points of view, i'm not sure, but i haven't found a place i'd do it or think it's relevant. The sequel is gonna be more from their perspective since it'll mostly be about them.

NOW! I see Sun and Moon as brothers, so they really treat each other in a way that's like that. Before the fire they get along pretty well. Most instances of issue would be when Moon blocks out Sun when he fronts, or just mutual panic over the fact Moon lost his shit w/ the virus. They'll have their disagreements about things (i havent planned specifics yet) but generally they're chill. Sun just worries about Moon hurting people, but Moon worries too. With the way the virus functions in this AU it's hard for Sun to fully fault Moon for what he does, especially because he's also affected by it but not nearly as bad. (I'm gonna explain this more in another ask i have).

Plus, even before the virus they were always glitch/bug-ridden because technicians fucked up their programming continuously after removing them from the theater to work in the daycare. So they had to kinda navigate through that together, glitches and errors on both ends (though not deadly). They hate P&S bc of this, obviously. Hardware fixes suck but they fucking HATE software examinations.

Later on though some issues come into play whenever Sun starts getting worse by being further exposed to the virus (it gets worse for him when they eclipse) because it presents itself in Sun differently than it does Moon. He gets snappier and angrier at times (that comic i made that's captioned "well someones snappy") and while they both understand he doesnt mean the shit he does it's still not great. And nobody's gonna just let themselves be talked to like a dog even if the reason it's happening is because of something the other person can't really help. They're still relatively fine at this point, though.

It's at the end when shit goes really bad, because this part of the story does end badly. I won't spoil specifics but after the fire Sun loses his shit. He starts trying to put the blame on Moon for everything (the virus enhancing his already bad habits/fucking with his line of thinking) out of grief and anger. That carries over into the apocalypse and he just gets worse in general. He gets irrational.

It's a long period of time though, so he eventually also manages it, in his own way. But! I did say before in an ask that in the sequel he's "not evil, persay, but he's a fucking nut". He damns Moon to an hourglass to just fucking get rid of him about 100~ years before they meet you again (he fully thinks he's in the right for this (and he also just hates him) and the only reason he really even stayed around after that was to make sure Moon didn't get out again). He's not a bad-intentioned individual, but he's off the fucking wall at many times bc of the virus having made him worse. He's stubborn as all hell to an infuriating degree, he's irrational, hard-headed, reckless, and while a good bit of his old, kinder self is still pretty prevalent he can be downright fucking mean if provoked. Again, worse than before, and it doesn't take much these days! I always imagined him to have more dramatic, snappy, diva aspects to his personality (even before Help Wanted 2 came out) bc hes so theatrical and intense, so basically take a Sun that's like that, crank it up to 100 and put him in a Bad Situation. That's what Round 2 Sun is like at his worst. He's not a complete lost cause though, and he's far from dumb when he does stuff, just clouded by his own judgement. He doesn't think anything's wrong with him (or does he?).

Moon doesn't really hate him like Sun hates Moon, because although he knows that what happened (the ending of the first story) is technically both of their faults he just feels guilt. They do fight a lot, though. Most of it is Moon trying his best to tell Sun that he's basically full of shit and not seeing things right after Sun starts something, but Sun's at the point where he's gotta learn by consequence. Part of the reason he's so bad is bc 1: hes been infected by the virus for so long now and 2: in his grief, anger, and resentment he's learned to live with it rather than fighting it.

But the sequel is gonna be a feel-good story! Falling in love w/ the reader all over again, i want things to get cleared up - or at least some kind of middle ground between Sun and Moon - the whole sha-bang.

[lesbiansanemi]

was rereading some of your posts for everyone bleeds red and GOD i am so invested in the potential of tanjirou and nezukos dynamic with ume and gyutaro, especially since gyutaros going to be on the mugan train at the same time as those two which means umes definitely gonna come out to help fight the two different kizuki and god the reaction and potential resentment of nezuko seeing the corps allow a full fledged demon to live even if its as a tool of the corps is gonna HURT. (and potentially lead to more internalized guilt because they werent going to kill her family until she rebeled against the corps. maybe theyd have let them all live if she just laid down and died like a good demon.) and tanjirou seeing a demon who presumably doesn't eat humans which given his reluctance and dislike of killing humans is definitely gonna strike some kind of cord in him beyond just the relating and wanting to help them immediately. also VERY interested in how the various demons will respond to ume, will they respond to her with the same 'filthy traitor' perception that the canon demons responded to nezuko with? i can imagine like all of them being pissed off at how shes muzzled and kept hidden away in a box for her 'protection' by her older sibling, unable to truly make her own decisions. (and won't that strike a cord with tanjirou and his own relationship with nezuko rn) and makomo, kyojurou or nezuko are definitely going to tell tamayo about ume and that begs the question, if tamayo knew about the traitor demon who hasnt eaten a single human, and didn't tell anyone, and how that'll rock the relationships around her. or if she didn't know about ume, what she's going do now that she does know about the full fledged demon girl (who she didn't know about being turned in the first place, so shes definitely one of kagayas demons) being used as a weapon for the corps. also in tanjirous eventual seeking out gyutaro to try and help him potentially revealing that gyutaro is doumas student, and if tamayo or any of the other kizuki caught wind of this and connected the dots, essentially paint a target on gyutaros back as the first lead on kanaes killer they've found in years. (and if douma has the same 'if ume eats someone i'll commit seppuku' rule for bringing her into the corps that giyuu had, which even if he does the likelihood of follow through on enforcing that isnt high but if its at least there for appearances, could lead to shinobu (or one of the other kizuki) trying to get ume to finally eat someone because its working towards finally getting to do something to hurt kanaes killer. and its doing the poor girl a favor, getting her out of the hands of the corps and finally giving her a proper meal after being starved for so long (potential mitsuri kinship) itd be a win win for everyone involved, really) and GODD im obsessed YOUR AU IS SO INTERESTING AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT MORE YOU DO WITH ITT. sorry if this ask is rambely or too much or any of the questions are too spoilery for you to answer (which is 100% understandable) your writings are just so INTERESTING they make me shake with excitement

Hehe don't ever apologize for this kinda thing I looooove it!! (Sorry it took me a bit to answer, it's been a busy couple of days). Also, as a general rule of thumb, I'm more than happy to spoil things lol There are very few events in a couple fics that I fully intend to keep entirely hidden until those scenes happen, but for the most part, I'll spoil anything lol I love talking and also I personally enjoy spoilers for things haha So yeah! I'll do my best to answer!!

Fun little thing about the roleswap, it was a project I originally started for two reasons. The first being character studies for the Hashira (which was what all their backstory pieces were initially about, and you can definitely still see that influence in a lot of them). The second was to examine the parallels between Tanjiro and Nezuko and Gyutaro and Daki. It just... spiraled horrendously.....

That's to say that I'm also ecstatic for them to start interacting

Their first interactions are actually before the mugen train incident! They initially meet on Mt. Natagumo during that conflict. They're very brief encounters, but that is what makes them aware of each other's existence. Mt. Natagumo is an extremely messy conflict between a group of slayers, a group of demons not truly affiliated with Tamayo, and then Nezuko and co. During that meeting, they don't really process a lot about each other. Rui actually holds most of the Kamados' attention here, but they take note of Gyutaro and Ume

It's during the mugen train when they genuinely start to realize things about each other.

Nezuko still largely ignores them. She's too focused on Akaza and the fact that he is gunning for Makomo's head (and he very, very nearly succeeds). Tanjiro is the one who really zones in on Gyutaro, and starts to process the implications of him having a demonic sister and working for the Corps. It's mostly just.... immediate projection on his part. He comes to all these conclusions about them being forced to work for the Corps like his family was, but there's also those complicated emotions regarding the fact that Ume clearly isn't... eating people. There's a demon out there that isn't eat people. Yes, she's muzzled, the situation can't exactly be good. But... it's possible. And Nezuko has adamantly refused to even consider ceasing the cannibalism.

Once Nezuko does actually process the existence of Ume after the chaos of the mugen train (yk, Akaza almost killing Makomo, Kyojuro almost kill Akaza, Akaza learning she's a demon and freaking the fuck out), like you predicted. She is.... hurt, but mostly enraged. After her partial transformation during the Final Selection, as soon as the Corps finds her struggling through the wisteria, they immediately decided she needed to die. It was never considered that she could still work for them, still deserve to live. Why did she immediately get written off while Ume was allowed this? If it had been allowed, her family would still be alive. Tanjiro never would have had to train to become a slayer. What was so bad about her? Well, unluckily for Nezuko, she had no Hashira to argue for her like Gyutaro and Ume did (because Akaza doesn't count and also didn't know), and she was written off as a lost cause because of how... volatile she was.

As far as her feelings on Ume herself, she mostly just... pities her. Because while Nezuko is angry she was never given a chance and a choice, she is glad it never happened because she's happier with the Kizuki and is reveling in her hatred of the Corps. She pities both Ume and Gyutaro, but in a really... condescending way. The fact that they lowered themselves to groveling to the Corps, Ume starving herself and allowing herself to be muzzled... it's pathetic! (No one ask her if her anger is a front for anything else, why would it be?)

This ultimately leads to Tanjiro projecting heavily on them, desperately trying to "save" them to prevent another family tragedy, while Nezuko resolutely ignores them and the path they represent.

As far as the Kizuki as a whole, it varies. Most of them are disgusted about the muzzling, but don't think too deeply about her. She represents the direction that the Corps is trying to go with tamed demons, but they were already aware that was happening. Nezuko and Zenitsu have already proven that. She's just the first... genuine success. A sobering thought, but not the worst thing the Corps has ever done. It's difficult for most Kizuki to hate them anymore than they already do. But admittedly, the Kizuki who have siblings are a bit more sympathetic to them... Kyojuro, Shinobu, and Sanemi especially have some really complicated feelings, though they keep it to themselves for the most part

As soon as Tamayo is told about Ume, she almost immediately figures out that she must be a demon of Kagaya's. She can't find any proof of Ume's existence within the (frankly massive) hive mind, not even an old broken link. That raises a lot of questions.... because one thing about Kagaya was that he did not want to turn more demons. So why has he suddenly turned one now? Why is she with the Corps? There had to be a point, but what?

It's due to this that Tamayo encourages Tanjiro to try and connect with Gyutaro and Ume. She frames it as being supportive of him and sympathetic to their situation, but really she just wants more information on them, and Tanjiro seems like the person most likely to get through to them

Ultimately if Gyutaro and Ume fled the Corps, they'd be welcomed with open arms. Many Kizuki know the feeling of trying to get out of the Corps and how difficult that can be and all the complicated feelings that go along with it. It's just that, Gyutaro especially, is vehemently against any type of help and distrusts it and hates it and is angry and spiteful and and and—

Which.... causes issues for him and Ume.

But Ume is viewed much more sympathetically by everyone. She seems to have no autonomy, she's starving, she's very young, it's easy for many of the Kizuki to want to help her, especially the members that have big soft spots for kids

As far as Gyutaro technically being Douma's tsuguko, it is eventually found out (via Akaza lol good job for revealing that one buddy). Certain demons want to use that somehow (I'm sure you can imagine who...). But it's also been realized that Gyutaro is like. never with Douma (his saving grace, I can't lie). But that's just another motivator for trying to convince them to turn traitor. Then they'll turn on Douma and potentially reveal information on him, mostly places he can be found

The fact that Douma is currently public enemy number one for the Kizuki is something he is entirely unaware of, btw. But also lucky for him, he's not expected to commit seppuku if Ume snaps. He has no real emotionally attachment to them, this is an experiment for the Corps, if it fails, it fails, and they'll kill Ume and Gyutaro. Douma gets off with no consequences

I hope this answers some of your questions! And ofc I'm always happy to clarify some anything :3 I'm so excited for Gyutaro and Ume to genuinely show up in the fics, it's gonna be sooo much fun

Skeletwins AU Theme Songs

Part 1: The Characters!

(All of them are songs I actually have in my playlist hehe)

Sans - Upside Down by Jack Johnson

Lighthearted, fun, positive and invoking a sense of nostalgia, I thought this song was perfect for Skeletwins!Sans. Curious George was one of my favourite movies growing up, but nowadays this song tends to make me think of what my version of Sans was like before the incident: inquisitive, happy and full of childlike wonder. He still has that childlike wonder inside of him, though it's sometimes overshadowed by more negative stuff that happens in his life. But in his purest, happiest form, this is Sans.

Papyrus - Almost There from The Princess and the Frog

If Skeletwins!Papyrus was a Disney Princess, he'd be Tiana with a little bit of Rapunzel mixed in. He's very ambitious and driven, and when he sets his heart on something, he will stop at nothing to get it. In his case, he wants to be a Royal Guard, but as we all know, he secretly craves friendship. He can be rather serious, but he's a giant goofball, no doubt. Overall, I just think it's the perfect song for him.

Alphys - Dark Side by Kelly Clarkson

I don't know how, I don't know why... But I think of her every time I listen to this song. I can imagine her singing this to Undyne or Asgore or Sans or anyone she cares about, being unsure if they even want to stay with her with all her flaws and weaknesses... It just suits her.

Undyne - Warriors by Imagine Dragons

I dare you to listen to this song and TELL me this doesn't suit Undyne! I DARE YOU! THIS IS HER! I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, THIS! IS! HER!

Asgore - It's Quiet Uptown from Hamilton

I can easily imagine Asgore in Alex's place in this song, and Toriel in Eliza's. I don't know, I just feel like this is something Asgore wishes he could do with Toriel... to try and get her back... And of course there's the whole vilomah thing they both got going on...

And the characters who appear later on under the cut! This might be a bit spoilery for my story...

Mettaton - Applause by Lady Gaga

Do I even need to explain?

Napstablook - Sat On The Floor by Caleb Hyles and Illymation

I can just imagine Napstablook and Shyren singing this in a studio together. It's practically perfect for them both, really! Too bad Shyren doesn't appear all that much in my story. But Napstablook does, so that's something!

Toriel - I'm gonna need help with this one. I don't have a song that could accurately describe her! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Flowey - Insane by Black Gryph0n and Everything At Once by Lenka

Flowey gets two songs because they show two sides of him. Insane because it really only makes me think of Flowey when I hear it! I think of it as Flowey's descent into darkness and sadism coming out to play when I hear this song! As for Everything At Once, well... I interpret it as Flowey wanting to try literally everything to try and fill the void left in him, since he's soulless and everything. He wants to do everything, be everything so he could FEEL something again. There will be a chapter covering this at some point once he's introduced.

Chara - Rock In God's Shoe by Sushi Soucy

At first I was debating giving this one to Frisk, but I think it suits Chara's nihilistic mindset even more. My version of Chara isn't necessarily good or necessarily evil. They're more like... Well, they're Chara. Someone who doesn't lean towards one way or the other, and I think this song describes their mindset and their character in this AU at the same time, so that's great!

Frisk - The Main Character by Will Wood

This is my version of Frisk in a nutshell. Imagine if a goofy kid who had little to no control over the bad things that happened in their life suddenly got literal godlike powers. THIS is just the consequence of that. Honestly, thinking about Frisk pains me because I WANT TO WRITE THEM SO BAD, I KNOW THEY'RE GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN TO WRITE BECAUSE OF THE CHARACTERISATION I HAVE FOR THEM, but I CAN'T! Because... They don't appear until the fourth part... Gosh darn it. At least there's this song...

H I M - Everything Stays by Rebecca Sugar

I don't know how to explain this one. I think it's more like everything surrounding him than anything. Or I can imagine him singing this to Sans and Papyrus at some point. Either way...

My Devil Fruit encyclopedia poster was reposted on Pinterest without credit, which is annoying, but mostly what makes me angry is that the comments section underneath it is full of people saying "did bro even watch One Piece? that one devil fruit-" And I'm trying to stay vague here because I don't want to spoil anyone, but I designed that poster with a specific discrepancy BECAUSE i knew i was gonna sell it at conventions and i didn't want random passersby to get spoiled for something that isn't revealed until THE MILLIONTH EPISODE. And don't get me wrong, people are generally extremely complimentary of the poster, they love it! Other people on pinterest loved it too! But the next condescending ipad kid who thinks I didnt watch One Piece because I MADE A DELIBERATE CHOICE to miscategorize A Certain Spoilery Devil Fruit in my massive devil fruit encyclopedia poster is getting killed with hammers.
