expanding on this assassin au because i have watched far too much assassination classroom

ok so. will works for some underground (probably spy) organization as an assassin and goes after people who may know too much about it (i like to think they are working with something akin to the upside down), be a major threat to the country, etc. i don't think he works for the government, this is more of a secret organization of people who have had experience with the thing they are protecting. which could easily be an upside down gate, or something similar to that - so i can also imagine will USUALLY kills monstrous targets that have escaped through it, though he has to kill people sometimes too hehe

anyway. he does live out a fairly normal life by day. he's best friends with (and in love with) mike wheeler, along with the rest of the party. by night, however, he is an assassin. he kills targets swiftly and silently, as he is a master at his craft - trained from a young age by other prodigies, such as his brother, jonathan byers, and his mother, joyce byers (in this instance, however, i can see them living under pseudonyms). and it's okay, actually! he makes his secret double life work, even though mike constantly wonders why he can't go to will's house and why will constantly gives off the energy that he's hiding...something.

one day, mike accidentally comes into contact with the secret organization by following will home. which, admittedly, is REALLY creepy but mike can feel in his gut that will is hiding something from him. and he's right, of course - he's captured and taken into the lair and would've been killed on sight for knowing too much - had will not broken the rules and released him when no one was looking (after swearing him to secrecy and making him promise to never mention the whole interaction again, of course).

and the organization is FURIOUS. they find out that it's will who released mike, and, as punishment for getting close to him and having his emotions get in the way, insist he be the one to seek him out again and kill him since he knows what mike's life is like, anyway, and it shouldn't be too hard for him to track mike down. if he doesn't finish the job like he was trained to - he dies.

cue will distancing himself from mike so he can kill him without it hurting as much - and cue mike trying desperately to get closer to will, as all he wants is to know him and this weird thing he does better, and maybe, possibly tell him that he's been in love with him for years. cue them kissing and will knowing it's wrong because he's supposed to kill this kid, for christ's sake. cue will being under immense pressure from the organization to finish the job or lose his life. cue others from the organization not believing that will can do it, and subsequently going after not just mike, but will too so they're both in danger of being killed. CUE WILL FINDING OUT HOW FLAWED HIS JOB IS !!! CUE BYLER TAKING THE ORGANIZATION DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!

infodump about something I made a while ago incoming read it if u have time to lose

hi hello Im a random person with a special interest in codes and ciphers and a few years ago I got so damn bored in class I started making up stories, that I've now completely given up on, about a secret society that used drawings and motifs to comunicate to their members that lived amongst humans

called it the Tree code but honestly if anyone has better idea give them to me I suck at naming shit

this code works by drawing trees, one tree being a word and the branches the letters

these are very simple way to draw these branches but they are very customizable what maters is the number of points

as you can see there are left letters and right letters the point of which is to reduce the number of branches by combining left and right letters that are next to each other (even if they are in the wrong order u just switch them)

YOU CANNOT COMBINE TWO LETTERS THAT AREN'T NEXT TO EACH ONTHER ORIGINALY

as an exemple have the watermark I put on most of my art

now a big thing about this code is decoys in order to throw off anyone trying to decode these messages

for words it's simple enough, real words have 3 distinct roots, decoys have any other number

speaking of numbers, in the original lore the society also had a bunch of scientist and mathematicians that would also code their work so numbers and math symbols also needed coding

math and numbers, unlike the trees and punctuation that mostly stay on the ground, are designed to be drawn in a sky setting with constelations as symbols

these also have decoys

now there are 3 ways of using this code: quick, casual, formal

so like the trees, clouds need to have 3 distinct bumps to be a number (exept for the square root thingy which can be any number)

quick is very simple, no real sentences, just key words, no use of punctuations and shorten words as much as possible

basically just was is needed to convey the message and nothing more

for exemple a message hidden as a street mural

first you find the decoys

than u decode

or perhaps on a more sinister note

what a happy picture

what joy

now casual uses more proper sentences, still shorten words when u can

these are more for general messages that requires more details

for exemple messages hidden as a motif on a magazine/journal

or for everyday use within the society space because what was once just a way of hidding messags became an important part of their culture, now most place within the society's homes uses both code and english

the last use, formal, is mostly used for long ass texts such as history texts and research (not making an exemple of this one)

these tend to not bother with decoys and use proper wording and punctuation which leads to havins to use long word trees

which, yes, do look a bit weird but these texts are important and already well hidden so there isn't much use to make it not look like code

anyway this was a breakdown of the code I made in high school hope u enjoyed this infodump I really needed to put this all down into one place

we were sitting on the floor and i was cutting out tiny pictures to make a collage for a friend's birthday. you were on your phone and you laughed about something, and i was still in love with you then, so i asked what had you giggling.

"sorry. i was just..." you took a moment and went back to texting. "i was telling someone about how you're afraid of the dark."

i'm afraid of the dark because something bad happened. "oh." i felt a little slinky of shame crawl down my throat.

you glanced up, and maybe it showed on my face, because you rolled your eyes and held the phone to the side casually so i could see the group chat. "what? was it a secret?"

i looked down to the scissors in my hand. "i just..." no, it's not a secret. it just felt like something private, something serious. saying why would you tell someone that just feels like an accusation. it's unfair. i honestly am not even ashamed of it, it's just a fact about my person that i don't usually share.

what a strange experience. is this a human thing or a generational thing? for our grandparents: did they need to worry about how quickly someone can just... share your personal information? again, i didn't even really have a true objection. what could i say? i want any person in my life to feel they can be honest with their friends. it's not like i said don't tell anyone this.

i cut out another letter to complete the rainbow happy birthday, started hunting for the exclamation mark. i heard you sigh dramatically.

"don't make a big deal about this," you said.

this entire conversation was a pattern for us, and this was when we got to my least favorite part of the pattern. i would get my feelings hurt in some oblique not-technically-terrible way, and then it would be making a big deal about something. you'd get frustrated for me for being soft, but i was born soft. you knew i was soft when you pierced me. it's one of the things that made controlling me so easy.

"i'm not," i felt my voice crack. the question came without my wanting. "why are you guys talking about me?" and why are you saying that thing? why not like - i'm telling them how you're generous and kind and pretty.

you let out this low, tragic groan. "oh my god." you tossed the phone away from your body. "there, see? i just won't talk to them if you don't like it."

the rest of the hour went the way it always went, between us: i said i don't actually mind if you talk to your friends but -, you found a way to call my minor expression of discomfort "being dramatic." you got upset that i had been offended. i ended up apologizing, even though i hadn't actually done anything.

afterwards, you picked up the phone again. after texting for a little bit, you snorted. "okay," you said, "but it is kind of funny you're afraid of the dark. i mean, when you think about it."

Thinking about how Pete used to be a priest and Kevin's (unnamed) mom was a nun. The fact that Pete was clearly stripped of his title. And we don't hear anything about Kevin's mother beyond the fact that she's dead. Thinking about how Diane says that she thinks of Pete as her "creepy uncle" and hates him. Thinking about how Kevin being born was likely a huge scandal for Pete and his mother and led to him being kicked out of the church. Thinking about how Pete doesn't seem to have any remorse at all for the potential abuse of power that occurred which led to Kevin's conception. Thinking about how Pete was the one most likely to make jokes objectifying women with Kevin. Thinking about how Kevin was likely raised believing he was some sort of miracle or chosen one, destined for great things solely because acknowledgment of the shame surrounding the circumstances of his birth would require Pete admitting fault. Thinking about how normalized it must have been in his childhood to see women being talked down to, objectified, sexualized and made into nothing more than plot devices to powerful men. Thinking about the sense of entitlement he must have had baked into him, and the deep fear hiding underneath all of it that one day everyone is going to realize he's his father's biggest skeleton in the closet. Thinking about this show having one of the most nuanced and complex portrayals of the cycle of abuse and patriarchal violence that I've ever seen!!!

very in love with the way that on one hand odile is a very intelligent, knowledgable, mature, level-headed adult and then on the other she. she chirps and baah's back at the animals when you talk to them. she nya's just to get a reaction out of the party. she has the kind of laugh where when someone is amused they don't just chuckle it's like that loud burst of a laugh that "HA!" type of laugh we all know someone with that type of laugh. sometimes she's like "we don't have time for this" and sometimes she's like "we don't have time for this... ... is what i'd USUALLY say but we should give our brains a break from the whole impending doom of the country scenario." you know. like all of the characters in ISAT have several dimensions and feel very human and dynamic but just focusing on odile for a moment... beloved odile... :,)

The Luigi references to go with my Mario references. I have much more to say about Luigi, but before that, shout out to my friend @twigs-sprigs for the darker green color I used for Mr. L. It was kind of an accident BUT I like it.

Anyways notes time!

Luigi's hair tie is literally always red, it matches his button stitches and his socks. The only time it changed was during SPM, cause Mr. L saw the stupid thing and decided ew no red gross.

As Mr. L, he actually let stubble grow, and also he has earrings now! This will come back for symbolism. He got his cheek burns from the first Brobot explosion.

When he wakes up in the River Twygz and swims up, Luigi is. Still in Mr. L's clothes, but horribly ripped up. He's also half blind now, but has no memories on how this happens. He has vague recollections of being held down, an ominous laugh, and an explosion, but that's it.

After being found and taken to Flipside, Luigi manages to get a new pair of clothes thanks to some of the townsfolk having left over fabrics and sewing materials. He incorporates the Mr. L outfit into it, since it would be a shame to waste even decent quality fabrics.

Also, Luigi is much paler after Dimentio "kills" him, but that's because he only killed Mr. L. Mr. L, as he existed, is dead. So half of Luigi, in a way, is dead. So Luigi is like half undead. He isn't fully dead obviously, his heartbeat is just like. Significantly slower and he is much color. He has grey hair too, which is totally not connected to the Chaos Heart calling to him, or anything.

After SPM, he mostly goes back to how he looked before, although for a while his hair was permanently white, and he covered his scars up with makeup.

He gets little star earrings to try and "reclaim" the earrings he woke up with, they also match Mario's drawstrings

He eventually starts wearing his hair down more, not that that matters when his hair gets chopped during LM3. So now, his hair is MUCH shorter now, and it curls and poofs at the end kind of like Mario's

When he gets near any kind of magical artifact, his hair turns white. This can also be triggered if he uses a lot of magic (i.e. Thunderhand or any of the dark magic he has lingering in him because of SPM). His eye also glows red.

(reblogs with tags/comments are appreciated. Thankyuuuuu. You can ask about him also I will answer!!)
