#just death and the demon wins and she doesn't even get to fight it

[mypralaya]

dagnabit loads of disjointed thought snippets about Haven and the Adversary but no ability to make them cohesive + leaving soon anyway

[dollycxre]

req: Hi I really liked your fic with Athena and I would like the same fic with Hades if you don't mind. Thanks in advance!

yandere PJO! Hades x demigod! darling 💀🐺👑 - general hcs

I would like to start off by establishing that I truly and firmly believe that Hades would NEVER hurt you or torture you like some of the other gods and goddesses *agressive coughing* Athena, Ares and Hera *more aggresive coughing*

Well and truly he is too in love with you to even THINK about that

I mean have you seen how he reacted to Persephone hating him at the start of their relationship???

Anyways, I believe that the way you would meet is if you were a mother figure to Nico

Nico was immediately drawn to you, an older camper who had stayed back to help Chiron as a counsellor

You weren't afraid of him like most other councellors, rather, like Percy and Annabeth, you saw him as more of what he was; a child who just needed love and affection, a neglected and abandoned child who had to grow up too soon

He's rightfully suspicious and offstanding to you at first but if you act the correct way around him, he definitely takes to you

He starts opening up to you about different things, how he felt about his sister's death, how he felt about Jason's death and how he was struggling to see the point in anything

Comforting him at any time late in the night because he's anxious and depressed and being the one to introduce him to Will also helps :)

I think after he starts dating Will is when he takes you to introduce you to his dad because he finally feels like he has a mother

And that is when you, unfortunately, catch the attention of the Lord of the Dead himself

It's very very hard to gain Nico's trust, considering what he's been through, Hades knew you must have a heart of gold or atleast cared about Nico to have one around him

He finds you intriguing, the way you stand tall to him and only give him a stiff bow, how you roam about and talk to his ghoul servants with ease and of course, how well you're able to take care of and calm down Nico

So his inner stalker starts acting up and he starts sending his servants to spy on you, following you around in the darkness, watching you in the shadows, showing up in your dreams, resulting in them melting into nightmares

Waking up trembling and sweating because of the horrifying creatures and distant memories tormenting you :(

Hades hates tormenting (traumatizing) you but he can't really help it since he needs to know your routine to kidnap you

Actually, I don't know why I censored that, he does kidnap you

He basically sets his furies on your ass which sucks for you but he had no choice

Like imagine just having a quiet, comfortable time in your cabin, all alone with just a nice book and your favourite drink

And then screeching she-demons descend on you and literally drag you all the way to the underworld

Of course, you were having absolutely NONE of that, kicking and screaming

But he gets you eventually

As soon as they deposited you in your bedroom, the man himself comes to see you

Hades confesses to you immediately and tells you he loves you

You immediately remember the story of Persephone and shove him away in horror

From then on, it's just a never ending cycle of him trying to win you over with his wealth and confessions of undying love

Visiting your bedroom everyday with flowers from Persephone's garden

They're beautiful of course but that doesn't mean you'll forgive him

Chucking things from your incredibly expensive bedroom at him while he just stands there and stares at you sadly before leaving

Yelling at him and begging for him to take you back home but he just shakes his head no and apologizes to you over and over

This could go either of two ways, depending on the kind of person you are

1. You keep fighting against him until you finally give in, accepting your situation and deciding to make the most of it

2. You accept his love, thinking that it's better to have undying love than mortal love

He'll be delighted when you finally storm out of your room and go to his throne room, calmly informing him that you accept his proposal

He ADORES you

He's very clingy and he wants you in the throne room with him at all times

He's the kind of person to stare at you for hours and get completely distracted from his job

Like most of the times, you're gonna have to be the one to interview the souls who come to meet him because he's too busy gazing at you

He loves being romantic and will wake you up every day with flowers

He isn't very touchy-feely, he's more of a gift giver kind of person

I mean, he's the god of wealth for god's sake

He will literally get you ANYTHING you want

Even if it's sold out EVERYWHERE, he will personally commission Hephaestus to make it for you

Literally dream of anything, anything that you could possibly want and boom, the next morning, you wake up with it on your bedside table

All he wants in return is a little kiss every day and you telling him you love him

He's one of the gods who will let you roam the above world

He knows that he treats you so well, you'll come back to him anyways

He loves taking you on romantic dates to literally any place you want

Renting out the Eiffel tower just for the two of you is quite the common occurrence, it's his favourite place for a date <3

Complete gentleman, notices everything about you and will literally just chuck money at people, gods, ghosts and monsters alike to make whatever you want happen

Even the slightest show of affection from you is enough to make this poor god pass OUT

Like imagine picking a pretty flower from the above world for him and presenting it to him in the throne room??

He almost fainted of happiness and immediately ordered it to be planted in the royal garden so he could go and gaze at it for eternity

He's in the seventh heaven when you tell him you love him

For everyone wondering what's going on on the Persephone aspect of things, I think she'd be pretty damn pissed at first

Not only because he kidnapped ANOTHER girl

But also because that's her husband??

But unlike Minthe, he actually defends you and refuses to let her hurt you or turn you into a plant and crush you

Eventually, depending on your behaviour and attitude towards her, Persephone will either hate you but not do anything about it, learn to tolerate you OR she'll love you <3

Maybe a little too much....

I mean, you caught her husband's eye....so surely there's something about you that intrigues her too....

But that's a good thing!.....right?

Good luck to you if she ends up turning yandere for you because she is definitely not as soft-hearted and non-violent as Hades

Either way, living in the underworld turns out not to be so bad, especially when you can wander around in your choice of clothes all day, throw money around on things you want, living in a gigantic palace decorated to your design and basically do whatever you like in return for loving an actually really sweet god

Y'know, even if it IS completely filled with spirits and zombies

But that's just minor details in exchange for literally anything in the world....right?

Also, Cerberus ADORES you

Even if you have dog allergies, since he isn't technically a real dog, his 'fur' doesn't affect you

Will follow you around everywhere, begging for pets with all 6 of those cute puppy eyes

Also loves playing fetch :3

Once Nico found out that his father kidnapped you, his reaction was something along the lines of silent, shocked staring

"Nico...I can expla-"

"What. The. Fu-"

He gets used to it pretty fast, he's used to his father's weird, obsessive antics by now

And besides, it just means he gets to spend more time with you <3

I have this irrelevant hc that he likes dragging you with him to his father's throne room and giving him a forceful makeover, just to embarrass him

Hades puts up with it, mostly because he's a softie

In terms of punishments and such, the only time he'd really get pissed is if you tried cheating on him

Like he is so whipped for you that he is willing to let anything slide...except for disloyalty

Even then, the most he'll do is isolate you

He really can't keep himself away from you either

Mostly, he'll just send his minions to guard you a lot more

Which is just more inconvenient and annoying than anything mentally damaging

Overall, he's one of the tamest yanderes in terms of Greek gods

He really doesn't want to hurt you, he just wants you to stay with him forever

He's just clingy :)

Not gonna lie it is quite emotionally dispiriting for a certain category of people online to treat me like i'm a flagrant covid denier who doesnt mask or care about disabled people simply because i'm like "oh hey, your grandmother who doesn't wear a mask is a victim of the same systemic forces as you." or "hey, profound social isolation takes a toll on people that impacts their health and their behavior and that must be included in our risk calculations and mitigation strategies whether we like it or not"

like. i mask. i test. i get vaccinated/boosted. i communicate risk factors to people. i plan outdoor events when i can. i fight to not have in person engagements at work tooth and nail and often at personal expense.

but even if i never did any of those things, i would not deserve to get sick and die, because there are no morally acceptable COVID deaths, no matter what choices a person makes or doesn't make, no matter which mitigations they do or fail to do.

one of my close friends just got fired because her boss said she was "taking covid too seriously." that's the kind of evil we are up against here. not like, your friend's friend going to a concert and forgeting his mask in his other jacket that one time. that guy's still doing better than 90% of americans by having a mask he carries around with him in his jacket. he's not some eugenicist demon. he's some guy living in really miserable and difficult circumstances who made a to-be-expected-sometimes human error. and your grandma who has been propagandized into believing that COVID isn't a big deal (while in actuality being quite high risk herself) is a victim not an evildoer.

way to win over more people to your cause guys. very public health minded of you to view anyone who doesn't perfectly meet your behavioral and ideological standards as an enemy. way to punish the behavior you want. it fucking sucks man.

HER CANINE TEETH IN THE SIDE OF MY NECK (werewolf!vi x vampire slayer!reader)

slightly canon-divergent....basically set during pit fighter!vi arc except in this world we've got vampires!! and werewolves!!!!

so reader is also a pit fighter -- they literally meet for the first time when they're competing underground. the next morning vi wakes up with a wicked hangover in some stranger's apartment and that stranger is you! and your dog! vi doesn't realize this yet but you saved her drunk ass from a vampire anyways, you invite vi to train with you and some other girls and offer to patch her up after fights. she's reluctant but you're persistent ("why're you being nice to me. are you some kind of guardian angel?" "nah. i just have a thing for strays. now hold still unless you want to bleed to death.") so little by little, vi moves away from the whole lone wolf thing; she's still very scared to let people in after what happened with caitlyn, but you're a much needed bit of levity and light in this world of darkness and monsters ("whoever wins the most fights tonight picks up the tab for the bar." "you're on, killer." *later that night* "guess i'll be picking up the tab," you smile, your lip splitting open even more. "i'll still take care of it, angel. lemme take care of you first.") vi maybe has a crush on you that she tries very hard to keep secret bc of who she is.....while you're also head over heels for her and trying to keep the whole vampire slayer thing under wraps....perhaps unsuccessfully, but i don't want to spoil it hehe.

LIKE SOME MISPLACED JOAN OF ARC (spiderverse au)

vi is spider-gwen spider-woman! she's in college, plays drums in a band, has an internship at some lab and spends a lot of her time saving the city but there's the lingering guilt that she couldn't save you (canon event: losing their first love). one day she's fighting some villain and....a portal opens? and she's transported into what seems to be another universe?? she does to her apartment and when she knocks on the door, her heart almost stops -- because you're the one who opens it. turns out in this universe, you're spider-woman, dealing with some demons of your own (two canon events rolled into one: losing their first love and not being able to save the life of a police captain....and your vi was an enforcer). basically you have to work together to get vi back home and fix the multiverse and also keep doing spider-person stuff bc it's new york and the crime never stops (you both admit *to yourselves* that it's nice to have someone to share the responsibility....i have this idea and it's a scene that i wrote in another fic basically vi is taking a shower in your bathroom and you go in to drop off a towel or something but oh no! your roommate needs something and since vi is dead in your universe you can't have anyone see her so you have to hide in the shower with vi and it's....obvi very intimate....like vi needs your help washing her hair or something bc she's got this terrible bruise from being thrown around by doc ock and you're maybe a bit too eager help) anyways you fall for each other through all this chaos even though you both really really don't wanna go through losing the other and it seems like it's inevitable one way or another. but, fuck the universe, right?

Yandere giving their catgirl darling catnip all the time and secretly drugging her to keep her sleepy and dependant. Slowly get it into her head that she's just a dumb little kitten who can't take care of herself, never be outright malicious, but get her high and whisper to her all of your intentions. Eventually her brain will just learn she's far too useless to ever be apart from you - if you ever broke up with her you'd probably starve to death. So you just give in and become her cute little litten, even when she shows her true self.

-girlfailure

♡ Drugging Their Cat Girl Darling ♡

♡ Miriel does it because she wants to be able to put a diamond collar on you but when you'll fully conscious you won't allow it so she starts dosing you with catnip just so she can have a bit fun dressing you up while you'll all cute and vulnerable but after doing it for awhile she starts to just really like it and you seem so happy with it anyways, what's the harm in doing it just a bit longer. She won't feel bad at all about it and she wouldn't stop, you might get a bit flustered if you act horny while you've been dosed. She won't overuse it though, there are times were you'll be allowed to not be high. ♡

♡ Eliza does it cause she secretly really wants to be the big bad wolf mounting the poor unfortunate cat but you won't go along with it when fully aware and so she found a tutorial on the internet on how to make your cat darling embrace their instincts and it suggested dosing you so she went for it plus once she gets you dosed you're just so cute and pliant and you'll go along with anything she tells you even if she tells you to present your cute hole for her or let her breed you, when you're like that you even beg sometimes so it's a win for her, she enjoys it for nonsexual reasons but it will mostly be used for her sexy times or when you're being too silly. She won't feel bad, she may stop after sometime if she notices you acting loopy even when she hasn't dosed you but she'll start back up again as soon as that's faded. She might overuse it a bit. ♡

♡ Selene does it because she's worried her cute pet will leave her if they ever think critically about how much of a bad person she is so she uses it so you won't think and will just be her cute happy pet all the time, everything is okay as long as it's to keep your soulmate beside you anyways plus she's a very good owner, she makes sure you have the cutest most comfortable clothes, a pet doesn't need anything practical though, she'll feed you the best cat girl approved diet even though you might hate it(obviously because it's food for a cat like so much fish and milk, yuck) but with her dosing you, you'll forget how disgusting it is, and of course plenty of running outside with her so her pet will get some mental stimulation and she get to mount you so it's a win for both of you. She will never ever consider stopping and she will abuse the fuck out of it, what did you expect? This is Selene we're talking about. ♡

♡ Kassien will do it anytime you're showing resistance and she'll be so subtle about it that you won't even realize you feel much loopier than normal, it's usually not her first go to though and she'll use a very small amount of it, remember all demons, even mid ranked ones have the power to make their mate feel sleepy though angels have this even stronger than normal demons so if she combines this with a very light dosing it'll feel much more powerful and since it's a light dose you likely won't build resistance to it. She likes it for training, she can't deny you're so cute and pliant like this but she would prefer you give into your instincts without it, she's one of the meaner ones, if you try to fight her too much then she'll go full force with it and make you start to feel really stupid cause you can't seem to do anything and she always has to help you so then you'll learn that you need to just let her do everything. It's better than her breaking a leg though. If you push her too hard she won't stop dosing you ever though if she trusts you again more then the dose will be switched from strong to medium at least. She doesn't feel bad, you were the one who fought her so hard. ♡

♡ Nikki tries it to make you sleepy with her and is not a fan of it, sure you're cute but why do you have so much energy, perhaps she needs to give you more? All that does is make you horny and while she likes having you horny, she would really like you to take naps with her and so once again she increases the dose and now you're sleepy all the time which she really likes so in short she uses it way too much, has no remorse, and is never going to stop now that she's found the optimal dose to make you her perfect sleeping partner. This will affect your mind long term, you will not be able to form proper thoughts anymore but he doesn't seem to care at all. ♡

♡ Runa starts to do it because she finds the exact same guide as Eliza, she however is not a huge fan of it because it lasts too long and it makes you really stupid, it's hard to get off on degrading you when you think she's being sincere and then she just feels like a bad mate so eventually she takes you off of it, she really wished it had worked but you seem to think she's being sincere when you're on it so it's too risky, she really likes how scared you are of being without her after it and how much you rely on her so she did get some benefits from it. ♡

♡ Nora is most likely to do it from the start, the moment she's handed your file she started to think of how she could make herself a integral part of your life that you can't live without, this skips all the trying to be your perfect girlfriend stuff cause now you're so reliant on her that even if you don't love her, you need her and will let her just take care of you forever and tie you up and since she decided to go that route from day one, she'd probably kidnap you and just permanently dose you, no courting,, just waking up in a big woman's house permanently high and having to rely on her for every single thing though honestly it really is nice, she would treat you very well, she does actually feel bad about it but she's just such a bad person that there's no way you would want to be with her otherwise. ♡

♡ Sawyer does it when you're pushing her away on her heat or really in general, look she's not proud of it but she really needs a bit of affection from you and if she's not receiving she'll dose you once a week so you'll actually allow her to pet and cuddle you. She doesn't overdo it though, she knows exactly the right amount that would be unhealthy for your mind long term, after all if she just makes you a stupid cat then how are you supposed to spend her money and go on these fancy dates with her, she does enjoy it while it lasts and she doesn't feel bad, you brought this upon yourself by not loving her enough. Plus you seem happier in cat mode so what's the big deal? ♡

Helluva Boss Tickle Headcannons:

Stolas:

Super ticklish despite not being tickled very much in his younger days, (Blitzo is definitely the first one to discover this weakness when they were kids and never really forgot how ticklish Stolas was, or is, for that matter.)

Is a switch, but is definitely is more lee leaning! He enjoys the bondage aspect of it and definitely experiences the most anticipatory giggles.

Has one of the most adorable laughs ever. It doesn't take much to get him laughing. He has such a high-pitched laugh that gets squeaky if you get the right spots.

Worst spots are wings and beneath his feathers.

As a ler, my goodness is this guy fucking RUTHLESS.

Is a demon, so expect to receive whatever tickling is dished out tenfold in return.

His feathers and claws are horrendously evil tickle tools and the mothefucker KNOWS it.

Uses tickling as a torture method for those who most deserve it (cough cough, Blitzo).

Blitzo:

Regularly involved in childhood tickle fights with Fizz. Used to win most of the tickle fights until the accident happened.

So playful and silly, he was the first to initiate a tickle fight with Stolas and the first to realize what a ruthless tickler Stolas is.

Also a switch, very needy as a lee and super teasy as a ler.

Surprisingly a very gentle ler unless otherwise provoked.

Definitely tickles Stolas the most of anyone because Stolas absolutely loves it. Also frequently tickles Millie and Moxxie but mostly Moxxie because he deserves it. Doesn't DARE tickle Luna (he doesn't have

Most ticklish spots include ribs, tummy and underarms.

Super silly laugh, loves provoking others to tickle him, and is so shameless about it, the little shit.

Millie:

Is ticklish but is much more of a ruthless ler. Mostly tickles Moxxie to get him to relax or not be so uptight.

Absolutely ruthless. RUTHLESS.

Not only does she know Moxxie enjoys being tickled, but she encourages the other IMP's to tickle him.

Doesn't mind being tickled by Moxxie but will destroy anyone else who tries.

The worst spots are her hips, thighs, and knees.

Has a bright, carefree laugh.

Will 10/10 dish out absolutely unholy revenge to those who dare to tickle her.

Moxxie:

Is such a lee! 100% lee. Is baby.

It doesn't take much to get him all flustered, just a few well placed pokes, a wink, or teasy voice.

Prefers to be tickled by Millie but is the frequent victim of gang tickles. Not that he minds.

Is wayyyy more susceptible to gentle and teasy tickles.

His back is an absolute death zone. Absolutely cannot handle back massages AT ALL.

Screechy and screamy laughter. AHAHAH.

Hides his face a lot, or at least he tries when tickled. Lol. He can't even help it.

Will literally beg to not be tickled.

PUPPY DOG EYES.

Deserves to get his shit WRECKED!

Ozzie:

WE AREN'T gonna pretend this man isn't ticklish.

I mean, he is. Has a super boisterous laugh.

I mean, if this anyone has a tickle kink, it's him lol.

I feel like he's got tons of ler energy. He tickles Fizz so much, lmao. Surprise tickles, tickle games, tickle hugs, teases, etc. ASDFGHJKL. Fizz eats it up, of course.

Is kinda ticklish in a couple secret places only Fizz knows about. I mean, I don't even know, and Fizz didn't tell me lmaooo. It's a secret, do with that info what you wish.

Is actually the tickle monster. Hehehe.

Fizz:

Is such an adorably ticklish imp.

Arguably, the most ticklish character.

Literally used to be nearly tickled to death by Blitzo as kids. And ganged up on by the other imps. Was pretty much defenseless lol.

Blitzo used to knock him down a few pegs for getting all the attention by tickling the everloving snot out of him.

Literally never won tickle fights until after the accident. The robot arms improved his tickle fight game tenfold.

His robot arms are indeed also ticklish but offer an advantage in tickle fights by being able to stretch or tickling people far away.

Bottom ribs, hips and sides are his worst spots.

Cannot handle his ribs being counted. (Ozzie found this out, and the poor guy can't rest ahah).

Wheezy laughter that eventually goes silent, and he also thrashes a lot.

Uses his robot arms for tickling and bondage purposes with Ozzie and to also get well deserved revenge on Blitzo, haha.

[lozfanchick]

Hello, a little bit too much obsessed with your Parent Trap Au but I really need to ask.

What is Azure's real reason to send Macaque away? Is he good, is he bad.. Is he none? What's his plan? Does he really only adore Wukong because of his wealth and population?

Is his goal to manipulate? If yes, who? Maybe just from jealousy, envy?

Thank you!

Hey again!! No worries I LOVE talking about my fic so questions and rants just make me super happy and proud!!! :DDD

So Azure in the show is manipulative. He manipulates MK into going into the scroll to get his brothers. He tries to talk MK into leaving Wukong. Plus he's the type that sees if the ends justify the means then it's worth it. I mean he destroyed the area around his paradise, but he got Camel Ridge so it was worth it (nevermind all the death literally surrounding it). And once he has his mind set then there's no changing it. In his eyes DBK and PIF are traitors, even tho PIF betrayed Heaven and has lived as a demon for a super long time. And DBK had literally just recently "retired" his demonic war-waging ways. But I guess only his people get to beat on demons and the like then betray Heaven and join the cool kids club; PIF was late so she doesn't get a seat at the table idk (can you tell this is a big issue for me lol). Anyway, he's charming and has got a lot of charisma and wields it well. So in my fic I just expanded on that.

Now to put his mindset in the fic into perspective think of the biggest current day superstar. Someone most people in the world would recognize or at least have some familiarity with the name. If that person suddenly started dating someone, everyone would then know their name and they would ROCKET up to new heights. That's a SUPER tempting promotion and seems so easy to get. Date the biggest celebrity, stay with them for awhile and then BAM you're now a known name, not just someone in the credits. That's the main goal for Azure.

And now we get into my headcannon's for Azure and Wukong in LMK:

In the show I got STRONG lionpeach vibes because I mean...Azure looking at Wukong with those eyes. BUT he only saw what he wanted to in Wukong, a strong and caring leader. But Wukong was also reckless, greedy (left his people and his island often for power and titles), and clearly was a prankster/jokester. Now I don't believe this is even shown in the show, but I think part of the reason Azure is so mad at Wukong isn't just him betraying them but him not being everything he thought Wukong was. Wukong not fitting the mold Azure's mind had him in. Wukong couldn't defeat the Jade Emperor and instead gave up (not fight till the end), Wukong wasn't strong enough to win, Wukong wasn't a leader but a follower of a human monk. So many let downs and that's why he was ready to turn on Wukong before the fight between the jttw crew and Camel Ridge crew. Yet he still loved or at least wanted Wukong or some control over him. So he didn't want Wukong dead, he just wanted him trapped and then he'd decide when to free the monkey. All this is to say that's also what I did in my fic. He may like Wukong, but he doesn't love him because Wukong isn't just a good actor, he's also a dork who prefers to eat fruit all day and has a pool even tho he can't swim and refuses to learn.

tldr: I HC that LMK Azure saw in Wukong what he wanted to see and got disappointed at the real him, so I also emulated that in my fic

[bonefall]

do you have any plans for willow tail?

No solid plans, just little fragments that I'm fond of.

I do actually like the bunny bone idea, in some ways. I like how it starts. She sees Red Claw just sunbathing on the moor, can't stand the idea of seeing his ugly mug around, and comes up with a way to get him in trouble. It's so petty!!

"Ohh I'll get my revenge on him! First I'll eat my lunch, and then I'll CLEAN my lunch, and put it on the border, and say that he is eating our rabbits. That will make Wind Runner yell at Clear Sky, and he will yell at Red Claw, and he will never sunbathe here again aha HA HA it's BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT!" Ok Yzma. I love you.

Mundane bullshit I love it so so much. She just ate her lunch for the drama.

That's such an interesting idea for a conflict, y'know? I love it so much more than "IT WAS ALL FOR REVENGE." What starts as petty, easily resolvable drama escalates because Clear Sky is SO easy to offend, which makes Wind Runner dig her own heels assured that she's right, and then eventually Willow Tail can't back down because it's gone too far and she hates Red Claw too much.

And even Moth Flight. I wish they did more between Willow Tail and her, as friends and allies. They both hate Red Claw for getting people they love killed, it would have been a lot more interesting seeing the two of them commiserate and confide in each other.

(but if moth had friends, then you can't do the stupid celibacy rule because then the clan would. like. help her babysit a little. which they offer to do, btw, canon moth flight is just such a freakazoid that she rejects all help. its a bad book, brent)

It's also interesting the way that Clear Sky is, again, a monster in this book. He clawed her eyes out, for the crime of "stirring up trouble." Then he stepped aside and told Red Claw he could do whatever he wanted with her. It would be a shockingly violent thing even for someone who earned that level of brutality. I really expect no less from the SkyClan tyrant.

(it's not lost on me btw, that the writers will go to bat for Tom the Wifebeater and give him a redemption death but then show Willow Tail suffering and dying slowly on screen for Clear Sky's vindication. They don't see him as the demon they wrote him as.)

Anyway... time for Fragments Proper.

BB!Willow Tail

TO BEGIN WITH: BB!DOTC is the one arc that I have no intention to stay faithful to. I do not value "sticking close to canon" the way I do with the others, it is not a consideration. It's a total overhaul-- with Gray Wing being killed in book 1 and xeir roles taken by Thunder Storm's mother, a language barrier between Park Cats and Tribe Cats, and a totally different order to the formation of the Clans.

Moth Flight's Vision is now Moth Flight's Vow... and there's no room for Willow Tail's bunny bones drama anymore. It's a completely different story with a brand new origin for the Cleric's Vow.

So if the Bunny Bones drama remains, it'll have to go somewhere else

Though I do like it, I'm also nonplussed about losing it.

I feel like the Bunny Bones plot works best with Skystar as the antagonist, because no one else is nearly as easily offended as him... but at the same time, I have a really solid plan for him losing 8 lives to Star Flower's Ritual, and then his final picking a fight with the River Kingdom, winning a significant amount of territory.

But, it would also be VERY cathartic to have Skystar's final death be just after gouging Willow Tail's eyes out, with someone deciding ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and even if Willow Tail did lie, she doesn't deserve to be tortured.

I'd be inclined towards doing the Bunny Bones plot the way I described liking it; as petty drama that got out of hand, but really revealing Skystar's true colors.

Hmm... maybe I'll make it a Tiger Sky novella, and have this be the story about her deciding to leave SkyClan.

(INFO for those who don't recognize the name: Tiger Sky is the BB version of one of the Angel Fetus Children they gave Clear Sky. She is the daughter of Falling Feather, and half-sister of Thunderstar.)

Anyway-- depending on if Willow Tail ends up being a Park cat or a Tribe cat, her name could be very different. The Wind Coalition is Park-culture, so they're born nameless and earn titles over time.

It's likely she won't end up with Willow Tail as her name, but something more like Willowbark Weaver, or Willow Flayed Bare. Willy for short.

Windstar's Revelation, a direction given by Gray Wing the Wise in the aftermath of the First Battle, is to begin innovating and moving away from violence. So I can see Willy earning this title after demonstrating excellent uses for willowbark.

Her childhood name was different. The first name a Park Cat wears is [Mentor]'s Paw, and before that, they have a simple physical descriptor.

So first of all I need to pick a mentor for her, and I'll only figure that out after making a loose allegiance list

And second of all, her baby name was probably Tabby, and her brother's was Mottle.

Speaking of her brother, though...

I don't like how they broke Frog's back and then just had him die on the way home. I dislike the trend in this arc where several cats get disabling injuries (Moon Shadow, Frog, Tiny Branch, Willow Tail), only to die of them shortly after.

So I think I will be keeping Frog alive, especially to point out how they dealt with a paraplegic cat in ancient times in contrast to modern times, with Wildfur and Briarlight.

Which means he will also need a new name and chosen mentor, if he's a Park cat. But anyway...

Their ages might get shuffled, but at their very oldest, I want them to both have been young during the First Battle.

And that's what I've got, so far!

Psst

Since we have a hat gremlin- what about other hat wearing Characters?

Sir pent., husker, Lucifer... SUSAN (angel wore a hat one time and so didnt vaggie- do they count?) and Valentino?

My only note is that if Valentino has one it is the equivalent to the most angry lil devil that bites his bald ass head like a rabid flea.

Good evening my dear! I GOT THIS ASK IN THE MORNING AND I KID YOU NOT IT HAS BEEN ON MY BRAIN SINCE. Switching between third person and referring to the reader as you

I'm thinking Sir Pentious's hat creature is like a little lizard, like the gecko lizard that tries to sell you car insurance but instead of car insurance it's just insurance, for what you ask? No idea it's probably a scam don't buy anything from hat lizard, Lil' hat lizard likes to take out with Sir Pentious's hat when he's sleeping, freaks out the eggy Bois, hat gecko totally tries to be a wingman and set him up with Cherri bomb! They are the best winggecko

Huskers hat creature is SMALL, they like the warmth from his fur, you take a lil' nappy nap, snoozy time, when he was a overlord they would help him win casino games, how you ask? I don't know, I don't know how it works but probably by stealing cards or something, his hat creature is probably drunk off their rockers too! Probably chill in cups when not in the hat.

Lucifers hat creature is a duck, 100% a regular duck, a duck that likes to vibe in a hat, that's all I got, the hat quacks. [Lilith gave you to him before leaving.] He likes to show you off to Charlie and the other sins "LOOK AT MY DUCK! THEY REALLY LIKE MY HAT HAhaA"

ANGEL'S CRIME HAT, his lil hat creature is just a lil' guy! He treats em' like a second child [the first is fat nuggets obviously] takes you out of the hat to dress you up, you probably ride fat nuggets like a horse when out of the hat, crime hat creature is totally small enough for that,

I despise Valentino so the bastard is, as per usual dying.

[Warning for mild implied suicide, it's not in depth but It's implied, just a sentence not the reader or the grapist.]

He doesn't have a hat gremlin he has a hat cursed demon leech.

Cursed leech wasn't always cursed, they originally clinged to one of Valentino's victims who ran out during extermination day and you can guess what fate they met.

You, the little hat thing wanted revenge for your fallen friend and so you exited the hat you were originally attached to and infested Valentino's.

Valentino has a constant headache because you bite, sharp teeth piercing his skin, he can't take the hat off because you latch on like a leech, you probably have some diseases that transfer to Valentino so he has to go to the doctors often.

Hat leech will eventually lead to Valentino's permanent death and only then will they be satisfied in taking revenge for their fallen friend, they will exit Valentino's hat and return to the one they left, maybe they'll move on to someone else and be their friend but until then they're on their own.

Vaggie doesn't have a hat gremlin, she has a BOW gremlin, allegedly came from heaven, you are the bow itself. Unraveling to be a bow creature that helps taking people out.

Bonus for Vox because he has a hat right? Or am I delusional we'll find out.

Lil robot creature, totally doubles as a spy, vox's hat is sometimes seen around the hotel stalking Alastor.

SUSAN MY BELOVED OLD GRUMPY LADY, I gotta write for her again soon!

Her hat creature is just like her! Old! her hat will rise up for a moment curse someone out before shrinking back down, similar to Rosie's gremlin, maybe they're related? They probably get into fights, the folks of cannibal town just see Susan's hat and Rosie's hat going at it, dueling probably with weapons I can see them using guns or sticks, sharp sticks,

Susan likes her hat creature, treats em' like a pet and feeds them sinners.

DOODLES TIME, I can't draw anyone's hats for the life of me.

My handwriting sucks but we don't talk about that

[eldritch-spouse]

Okay so Kalymir wants a queen who is as strong and ruthless as him, right? Imagine:

It’s a normal day in Wrath, the queen is fighting another challenger (maybe a high-ranking demon or some powerful monster) in the ring, and Kalymir is looking on with glee. It looks like a close fight at first, but slowly the queen begins to realize she’s no match for challenger. She’s giving it her all and then some, but ultimately she’s so beaten down that she’s forced to yield. She staggers to her husband, who at this point is not smiling anymore, all bloodied and bruised and barely able to stand. She looks him in the eyes and tells him “I’m sorry, I tried so hard” and all but collapses.

Does Kalymir finish the job?

Also I feel like you’ve answered an ask vaguely similar to this before (along the lines of Kalymir not wanting to be with a weakling or sthg) so please just ignore this if that’s the case lol I cannot take the embarrassment

[I think you're referring to the ask where an anon gave up and simply waited to die upon being kidnapped by Kalymir. This is a different scenario already.]

You don't get the chance to come to him.

Provided you are in the arena, the way fights usually end is with a fatal blow to the loser. The challenger you were losing to was going to kill you. Perhaps a clean decapitation, or maybe something a lot more "showy", gory. Kalymir doesn't let it happen. The challenger gets thrown back from your proximity by the thunderous tremor of the King pouncing onto the fighting grounds. You're collected by whatever supervisors are present (usually to determine if there's foul play involved) and brought to safety, where your wounds can be tended to.

The challenger is given a small break to then enter a fairer fight with the King himself, dying in a blaze of glory, honored by the crowd and the monarch himself. It was a brilliant, exhilarating fight.

Kalymir returns home to you with a trophy, more than likely the challenger's horns. They're deposited at your feet, an offering of love as you lie comfortably in his bed, recovering with all sorts of magical aids. Kaly has a lot to tell you, but he begins by commending you for lasting as long as you did. Even when you knew you weren't going to win, you still stood and fought and gave that demon as much rage as you could. You didn't scare, didn't run, didn't pale before certain death. And his heart soared for you. You're one tough little shit, he's very proud of you! You looked impressive out there.

Don't apologize, that's some weak bullshit, you were great! Especially for a runty little human.

[starryredpandawrites]

What if. . . Wilson succeeded and made Audrey into his "perfect creation"? He takes Audrey by surprise instead of outright telling her his plan before getting a Gent pipe to the face, and Gent has their tool.

The one person who cared about and was kind to Bendy, taken from him and used like some puppet for their own twisted uses. The world truly hates him. . .

Me, thinking furiously: I can fix this, I can fix this, I can fix this, HOW CAN FIX THIS?!

This might be a little too much angst for me but I'll give it a shot.

TW body horror under the cut

Shipahoy Dudley and Wilson didn't mix very well, right? Maybe it's because he has a fully human soul and Audrey's soul isn't but I also can't imagine Shipahoy Audrey turning out much better since her soul is strong/intact enough to form her own person, so we'd probably end up with an Audrey sticking out of a Shipahoy monster like what happened to Wilson. Horrific but hopefully fixable. You'll see what I mean.

Bendy and Audrey's minds are probably still linked but I doubt Audrey's thoughts and senses would be very coherent. All the Ink Demon would know is something is very, very, very wrong.

Eventually, Wilson would sicc Shipahoy Audrey at Bendy (that's the whole reason he wanted her, to make something to take down the Ink Demon permanently) which means she would have to track him down. I dunno if she would have the mind for it, but once she crosses out of signal dampener territory, Bendy would find her.

Now, I don't think Audrey would attack Bendy, but the Shipahoy side of her might. If they fight Bendy will win, but it will be awful and traumatizing. If she doesn't fight back, it will still be awful but maybe a little less traumatizing or just traumatizing in a different way.

Either way, Bendy would see Audrey's upper half sticking out of Shipahoy and get the idea that, maybe if he separates her from the whole, he can save her.

So, that's what he does. She would not survive the process BUT in this world, you only truly die if you are consumed. Cue dramatic heartbreaking scene of her melting away in his arms while he begs her to return to him.

There's a chance that while she's melting he will panic and consume her rather than risk letting her reform on her own. While this would still count as a "bad ending" in my book, I do think Audrey would have a very different attitude towards becoming a Big Monster this time. She would much prefer being stuck with Bendy than being stuck with Wilson's monstrosity. She might even thank him for it.

If he doesn't consume her, she'll melt away and he'll go do whatever he did in the first game to the Shipahoy carcass or consume it just to be sure Audrey has the best chance at coming back as herself.

Since I'm writing this, she will come back and they have their happy reunion, but they'll both be horribly, horribly scarred by this. Audrey would understand and even be grateful that the Ink Demon freed her, but she would likely develop PTSD and/or at the very least suffer nightmares about the Ink Demon killing her, which would suck for both of them. The Ink Demon would feel awful for being responsible for one of her deaths. In his mind, he broke his promise not to harm her, and even though it was for a good cause he'll hate himself for that. He hates liars and now he's become one.

Luckily, time heals (or at the very least, softens) all wounds and they live happily ever after, the End 🎉

I know you mentioned the Gent corporation using Audrey against Bendy but my brain cannot handle the angst so have this happy ending copout instead

I'm gonna go write some fluff now 🥺

[yuukei-yikes]

continuing on that...... haruka/konoba identity crisis angst

im not sure continuing on what but YEAHHHHH WOOOO rather than an identity crisis though.......

i think haruka tries to honor konoha as much as he can by enjoying his life, bc konoha isnt Gone it just took its intended back seat so haruka doesn't wanna bore it or act like konoha doesn't deserve to drive just bc it's a snake. it's just how things are. haruka is the owner of the body. konoha happened to be in there while haruka wasnt, and accidentally gained a mind of its own... so when haruka's really going through it, he cant help wondering what makes one or the other deserve the driver's seat more.

is it time? haruka was born in that body and wore it for 17 years before konoha took it for only 2, so in that aspect haruka wins. is it the amount of people who love them? haruka has maybe 5 (quartet, kenjirou(dead) and his father, if it counts) while konoha has... well, the entire dan. so konoha wins there. so... is it, which one is human? but how's that fair? konoha has proven to have a mind of its own. i mean, it made a wish that clearing was forced to grant (hiyori surviving), what more proof do u need to know konoha is person enough? haruka wonders abt this, i think.

but does it even make sense to wonder about deserving? sometimes it just is what it is. the one who got to keep the driver's seat was pure chance, luck, logic, whatever. it was haruka's wish, everyone got a wish and haruka's was to get his body back, while konoha chose to let hiyori live. everyone made their choices, and this is how things are.

what i like about haruka post str is that He is the face of str, and He represents growing up. i think haruka is the one most at peace with what happened to him, mostly being burdened by the guilt he feels from being thankful for the tragedy, since it allowed him to live. he got something out of it. but i dont think haruka's the kind to dwell on the past, just by the way his personality is entirely but also konoha particularly is a reason why.

like i said haruka doesnt wanna bore konoha. i do love how haruka calls konoha the other me. i think if haruka is upset for too long, feeling guilty for konoha being gone or for feeling thankful for the tragedy bc it allowed him to live, something within him shakes him right out of it like hey... ill cheer up if i go get something reaaaaal yummy to eat. like there's The Horrors. but there's also all the good things in life, and what more does haruka want than life?

what we get from haruka's pov tells us he's realistic, even leaning towards being a total pessimist. haruka is completely cynical towards any kind of comfort towards the end, product of living a life where he clung to hope desperately, be it in the form of friendship or religion, and a father who constantly disregarded the despair and sadness of the situation. because of it haruka is left to cope with himself like... hey it happens to everyone. im just hitting the sack a little earlier than most. that's ok.

that's... optimistic? not really. optimistic is shintaro, who tells him you'll be okay, you have to be. and at that point haruka's driven to complete despair where he is completely certain that there is nothing after death. and he... gets worse than nothing! he gets thrown in the daze!!!!

haruka goes through his worst nightmare already, so... what's left post str??? he already lived through the worst, he already cried and begged and accepted it and went back to begging against it... "it" is death.

so would he be fighting mind demons like shintaro and ayano? he's gonna be freaking out in his own skin like takane?? not really. he's just breathing fresh air because he made it out of hell. and i know so did ayano, but the thing with ayano is that she does everything to herself. while haruka... doesn't? so when he makes it out, it's just. summertime record. a peaceful day under the light blue sky.

i got a little side tracked bc i love haruka's air of maturity post str. he really seems like the one character that's listening to music while everyone else wreaks havoc behind him. so when we bring up konoha i think haruka looks at it through this lense. haruka's like i know konoha is with me, it's a part of me, it's me. and what konoha would reaaaaaally want right now... is eat some grilled chicken skewers!!!!!!!!!

Power Ranking My Characters

Thought I would do a fun exercise where I rank all my characters from the strongest to the weakest. This is based on my own headcanon for my characters, how they would fight against each other, in-game classes, and official lore for classes.

I will grade aspects of each character with ★ symbol; 1 being the lowest and 6 being the highest. Some characters get additional modifiers for some circumstances.

Power = how much damage they can do, how strong they are, etc Durability = how well they can survive in a fight be it from taking hits, dodging, absorbing hits, etc Speed = how fast they are, and general mobility Skill = how skilled they are in combat through training, experience, or just strategy

1. Jedelan the Seeker

Race: Undead Class: Warlock (Demonology) Power: ★★★★★★[★★★★ +4 for his demons] (10) Durability: ★★★★(4) Speed: ★★(2) Skill: ★★★(3)

Jedelan is a powerful warlock and master of demons. Spending decades in life studying demons and fel magic, writing them down into grimoires, and in death he has continued his work. With the ultimate destructive power of fel, the ability to survive fatal blows being undead, and near endless demons Jedelan beats most characters on this list with ease, even multiple at the same time... with the exception of number two on the list!

2. William Hendrickson

Race: Worgen Class: Death Knight (Frost/Blood) Power: ★★★★★(5) Durability: ★★★★★★(6) Speed: ★★★★(4) Skill: ★★★★(4)

Once a servant Arugal and later the Lich King, William is a fearsome death knight who now serves the Ebon Blade. With his powerful runeblade, William can cut down anyone with ease, blast them with icy powers, all while also protecting himself with powerful spells. He is the ultimate warrior which is why he is at the top of the list, only Jedelan beats him out because the swath of demons he would have to go through to get to Jedelan, it would be too much even for him. With that said, William would put the fear of true death into Jedelan as he would not be easy to beat.

3. Aidan Hartwood

Race: Worgen Class: Warlock (Destruction) Power: ★★★★★★[★ +1 for Vilthea](7) Durability: ★★[★ +1 when in worgen form](3) Speed: ★★[★★ +2 when in worgen form](4) Skill: ★★[★ +1 from Vilthea] (3)

A young farmer boy turned warlock to seek revenge against the Heartsbane Coven. Since then Aidan has studied fel magic and taken a natural affinity for the chaotic nature of felfire, calling it down on his foes while casting fireballs at them. All while having the assistance of his mentor's succubus, Vilthea. She fights by his side using her charms and increased power thanks to her time with her former master, Jedelan!

Aidan doesn't have the raw power to beat either Jedelan or William. The former knowing how to counter Vilthea making her effectively useless, and the latter being way too fast and strong as well as immune to Vilthea's charms. However, anyone else on the list Aidan could beat in a fight with varying degrees of difficulty because he wields powerful spells on top of Vilthea being able to charm them.

4. Marcus Dawnbane

Race: Human Class: Paladin (Protection) Power: ★★★★(4) Durability: ★★★★★(5) Speed: ★★(2) Skill: ★★★★★(5)

A former Scarlet turned Crusader for the Argent Dawn, Marcus is a skilled paladin using his combined knowledge of combat from his training with both the Scarlets and the Argent Dawn as well as his connection with the Light. He is a fierce fighter and hard to bring down.

He comes in at 4th on the list because despite his high durability, he would not be able to outlast Jedelan's assault of countless demons and magic, or be able to withstand William's raw power after a time. He just isn't strong enough. And with Aidan, the winning factor would be Vilthea. Marcus is a man who gives into temptation and would become an easy target for her charms allowing Aidan to deal massive amounts of damage with his felfire. If Vilthea is not around, however, Marcus would likely win against Aidan. Anyone else on the list Marcus could take in a fight and likely not break a sweat.

5. Lukas Ward

Race: Human Class: Mage (Arcane) Power: ★★★★★★(6) Durability: ★★(2) Speed:★★(2) Skill: ★★(2)

Living in Dalaran his whole life Lukas grew up around mages, his father even being one, which led him to studying the arcane himself. Eventually joining the Kirin Tor and furthering his studies specifically into arcane magic and its power.

Being a mage Lukas is very powerful. However, his lack of actual combat experience and inability to last too long in a fight really hurts him which is why he gets dropped down the list despite having a strong arsenal under his belt. He's a glass cannon. I have him above his cousin, Damien, because he is a mage but if Damien gets the drop on him Lukas is done for, not that they would fight!

6. Damien Ward

Race: Worgen Class: Rogue (Outlaw) Power: ★★★(3) Durability: ★★★(3) Speed: ★★★★★(5) Skill: ★★★★ (4)

Damien Ward, Gilnean investigator and vigilante, now rebuilding his life in his home kingdom after 12 years of living in Stormwind, and fighting crime to try to help the innocent people of the city. During his time in Stormwind he met his father after a decade of not seeing him and his father being a member of SI:7 taught Damien much in the ways of stealth and combat which served him well in his fight against the underworld.

While Damien is a talented fighter with experience, endurance, strength, and exceptional speed his lack of magical power makes him relatively weak to those above him in the list. While he might be able to get the drop on any of them, and that may prove fatal for them, that is just one scenario. In a fight where they know he's coming he doesn't stand much of a chance against them.

7. Enzo Allen

Race: Undead Class: Warrior (Fury) Power: ★★★★(4) Durability: ★★★★(4) Speed: ★★★(3) Skill: ★★★(3)

A long time ago, Enzo once served as a guard for the kingdom of Gilneas. But on the night of the worgen assault on the kingdom he was killed on the outskirts of the city, only to later be reborn into undeath by the hands of the Forsaken. Driven mad by this, he went into a bloodthirsty rampage for months until being found by Forsaken and used to fight against the worgen of Hillsbrad.

Enzo, like his nephew Damien, suffers from the same problem of having no magical powers to help in a fight. This puts him at a disadvantage and thus drops him down in the list. And he's below Damien because I think with Damien's speed and worgen strength he could beat his uncle, it would be close though. But the chances of Enzo wanting to actually fight Damien is low, why would he want to fight his nephew!

8. Alaric Hastings

Race: Worgen Class: Hunter (Survival) Power: ★★★(3) Durability: ★★★(3) Speed: ★★★★(4) Skill: ★★(2)

After the Fall of Gilneas Alaric spent years training to become a bounty hunter in Duskwood, during that time he killed countless undead and helped catch feral worgen to administer the salve his countrymen had made.

At the end of the day, Alaric comes in near the bottom of this list because he is just a hunter. A mercenary/bounty hunter. While he has the boons of being a worgen, and the skills he learned to be a hunter, he doesn't have the durability or raw power to stand up against the others above him.

9. Ian Sherwood

Race: Worgen Class: Rogue (Subtlety) Power: ★★(2) Durability: ★★(2) Speed: ★★★★★(5) Skill: ★(1)

Ian grew up destitute in Westfall, made worse by the Cataclysm, and as such grew up hearing tales of the Defias Brotherhood who sought to help the people. His family among the members before leaving after he was born. He learned all the tricks of the trade, how to steal, how to remain hidden, and how to blend in when you need to. Skills he uses to this day as he steals from the rich of Stormwind to help those in need in Westfall.

Despite Ian being a worgen, having been bitten by a feral one when trying to help some citizens of Westfall escape into Duskwood during the Legion invasion, he isn't the greatest fighter. Outside of getting the drop on anyone on this list Ian is not likely lasting very long. And even then, some on this list like Enzo, William, and Marcus would likely be able to shrug off his attacks. Ian never meant to be a fighter growing up, he really only steals to help the people of Westfall. Though he is learning more how to fight as he recently joined the ranks of the SI:7.

10. Silas Drake

Race: Worgen Class: Warlock (Destruction) Power: ★★★★★(5) Durability: ★★(2) Speed:★★★(3) Skill: ★(1)

Silas Drake the Eternal. He took to the dark arts in Gilneas after being corrupted by another warlock he met, specializing in curses and shadow magic to drain the life from others. Like many of his fellow Gilneans he was afflicted with the curse, and now sees himself as above lowly humans. After the fall of Gilneas he joined up with the Darkmoon Faire and uses his occupation there to commit murders. He lures people into his "show" and eventually kills them by draining their life force and taking their soul so that he can live forever.

Silas comes dead last on this list because he is not a fighter in the slightest, despite being a warlock and using dark magic. He tricks people and then kills them, not fight them. If he were to get into a fight with anyone on this list he would lose.

Stat Explanations

Jedelan

Power - With his mastery of the dark arts and the sheer destructive force of fel magic Jedelan is powerhouse, and then add on his knowledge and expertise when summoning demons. Both his magic and his demon army makes him easily the strongest.

Durability - Jedelan has forged pacts that allow him to share damage with his demons as well as heal him, and add to that as an undead he feels no pain, he can lose an arm or leg and still keep fighting. He will just replace them later. So what would be fatal to a mortal is nothing to him.

Speed - Not his strong suit, he can teleport with his demonic gates but that is something he must plan ahead of a fight, once in a fight his only way he is fast is by using his own fel magic to harm himself to make himself quicker.

Skill - Jedelan doesn't have much actual combat skill or training. He studied as a mage for years before turning to darker magics but he never really put it to practical use. He has fought over the years of course, specifically killing demons, but most of his skill comes from him being smart and strategizing.

William Hendrickson

Power - When it comes to sheer physical power no one is as strong as William. He has the raw strength of being a worgen and an undead death knight making him exceptionally powerful. He can physically overpower anyone on this list with ease. And as a death knight he wields powerful magic that makes him the ultimate killing machine.

Durability - William is very hard to kill. He wears heavy armor, and as a death knight he has many abilities that allow him to avoid taking damage as well as negating magic making him a huge threat to magic users. And as a worgen he has fast reflexes to dodge and avoid attacks.

Speed - Gameplay-wise Death Knights are slow as hell, but they do have some movement abilities that let them move faster, and lore-wise worgen are pretty fast, so William is decently fast compared to others on this list.

Skill - William was a sentry in Pyrewood before becoming a worgen so he had some training in combat, but not much. Then once he became a Death Knight he was trained more so that he could become the ultimate weapon for the Lich King. Since then he has killed countless things over years, needing to inflict pain so that he doesn't feel said pain instead. He has the most combat experience, but doesn't use strategy much as he relies on his raw power to fight enemies.

Aidan Hartwood

Power - Aidan has spent almost a decade studying fel magic, and excels specifically in using the destructive power of felfire. He can call down a rain of fire to burn his foes while placing a curse on them and blasting them with demonfire. All while using his Voidwalker, Hathnos to protect him which allows him to freely cast. Aidan gets a boost to his power because he almost always has Vilthea around to help in a fight. Being a sayaad she is smart, cunning, and dangerous, as well as boosted in power herself thanks to her time she spent as Jedelan's succubus when he was alive.

Durability - Aidan isn't the most durable as he doesn't wear any armor, but over the years has learned some abilities to help magically reduce the damage he takes, and has even made a dark pact that allows him sacrifice some of his life force and in exchange he becomes shielded from damage and even heals while the shield is up. Aidan also gets a slight boost to his durability when he is in worgen form as he becomes much faster and stronger allowing him to dodge easier and generally take hits better, however, this is ONLY at night.

Speed - Much like other warlocks, Aidan isn't the fastest, having to rely on using his ability like Burning Rush to be able to move faster, or think ahead of time and use his demonic portals. However, he does get a slight boost to his speed when he is in worgen form, which again is only at night time.

Skill - Aidan has no official combat training from any kind of military standpoint, all his skill in combat comes from just experience over the years, mainly killing witches and other occult creatures. He gets a slight boost to his skill as Vilthea has been around a long time and is smart enough to know how to strategize, so she compliments Aidan in a fight.

Marcus Dawnbane

Power - Marcus wields the power of the Light to vanquish foes, and does so with conviction! He specializes in taking on multiple enemies at once using his connection with the Light to summon armaments to aid him, as well as using his shield to do devastating damage.

Durability - Outside of William, Marcus is easily the most durable character on the list. He has an array of abilities to protect himself from damage by calling upon the Light, even to heal him if need be, all while using a shield and wearing heavy armor. While not impossible, it is very difficult to bring him down in a fight.

Speed - Marcus is merely human, and wears heavy armor which slows him down.

Skill - Marcus perhaps has the most training of anyone on the list. He served the Scarlet Crusade for years, training to fight the undead before leaving the organization thinking they were becoming too zealous. He ended up joining the Argent Dawn and continued his training to help fight against evil doers. He has fought undead and killed countless foes in his time with both the Scarlets and the Argent Dawn. His skill would be higher except he stays in a constant state of inebriation using various substances.

Lukas Ward

Power - Lukas has a high power because mages in WoW are powerful, both in-game and in lore. Especially Arcane magic, which is what Lukas specializes in! He hits hard and it doesn't take long to take someone out.

Durability - Unfortunately, mages are very squishy. Lukas has some defensive abilities that can help him stay alive longer in a fight, but once someone gets up close he is in danger.

Speed - Not only is he human so he isn't very fast, his only real ability that makes him "fast" is his ability to teleport short distances, which in a pinch can definitely help move him from danger, but is limited.

Skill - He gets a low score here because as much as Lukas is knowledgable on magic and how to use it, he does not have a lot of practice with combat. He is a mage in the Kirin Tor and is fairly young so he hasn't had to fight many things.

Damien Ward

Power - While Damien is a worgen and is physically strong he lacks any kind of magical power of his own. This makes him relatively weak compared to everyone above, however, he is not powerless. He uses stealth, his physical strength, his pistol so he has range, as well as the shadow powers provided by his Shadow Familiar in a fight.

Durability - Being a rogue Damien quite elusive and knows how to fight and dodge blows, and being a worgen helps his durability as he has more endurance and vigor in that form.

Speed - No one is faster than Damien on this list. Being a worgen makes him fast on top of his own training to stay in shape for his vigilante lifestyle, not to mention his ability to shadowstep using the power of his Shadow Familiar.

Skill - Damien's father taught him how to fight from a young age as his father works for SI:7. And as Damien got older and became an adult his father showed him more and taught him how to improve his combat skills. And ever since the Legion invasion Damien has been a vigilante that fights criminals and brings them to justice. He was a lot of combat experience.

Enzo Allen

Power - Enzo is a berserker, his bloodlust and rage make him a very powerful warrior. Little can stop him once he starts seeing red and begins going to town swinging his scythe and sword.

Durability - Like Jedelan, Enzo is incredibly durable being undead, he can shake off pain and injuries that most mortals would find fatal. As a warrior when he goes berserk and sees red it is hard to subdue him via charm, stun, etc. And any damage he does take he can heal by cannibalizing someone's body. This makes Enzo one of the most durable characters on this list.

Speed - While not exactly speed, with his incredible strength Enzo can leap very far to cover ground, and when he kills and his bloodlust is at his most insatiable it is like an adrenaline rush hits him allowing him to run faster than he, or any mortal, normally could.

Skill - Enzo was once a guard in Gilneas City, during that time he recieved training and so he learned how to fight, how to kill, how to subdue, all of it. He was killed by a worgen on the outskirts of the city and then was raised into undeath by the Forsaken. This mentally broke him for awhile sending him into rage where he went on to kill anyone in his way. The Forsaken utilized this and trained him to go kill for their benefit and Enzo did so. He has decades of combat experience and know how when it comes to strategizing.. however, his score is only a three because his bloodlust makes him crazed and all strategy goes out the window once he gets into the heat of battle.

Alaric Hastings

Power - Alaric has the physical strength of being a worgen, which he revels in. He utilizes his strength with his spear that he uses while also employing traps, bombs, and his pet raven, Damon.

Durability - Alaric wears mail armor fit for him to be able to fight in melee combat and move freely while still giving him some protection. His being a worgen, like the others also helps with his durability, being able to dodge and tank hits.

Speed - As mentioned, he revels in being a worgen, and as such spends a lot of time in this form and so he has trained and honed his speed in his worgen form.

Skill - Alaric was just a fishermen in Gilneas when it fell, but upon leaving his kingdom he trained in Duskwood with his fellow Gilneans. Eventually learning how to be a hunter, use a spear, track prey, all the skills needed for him to become a bounty hunter. Alaric spent years fighting feral worgen and undead, even the Legion during their invasion. He has combat experience but not much else. He doesn't strategize too much.

Ian Sherwood

Power - Ian is not much of a fighter, he gets the boons of being a worgen, and knows how to utilize shadow magic somewhat to be able to strike from the shadows.

Durability - Like the other worgen, Ian gains some durability from the curse, as well as just being able to dodge blows because he is quick and agile.

Speed - Growing up as a thief and then becoming afflicted with the worgen curse has made Ian quite the speedster. He is very quick on his feet and arguably as fast as Damien.

Skill - Ian has next to know combat experience. He was trained in the art of thievery from a young age which included some combat, but he has never put it into practice really. And as a recent member added to the SI:7 he is getting more training, but for the time being he has next to no skill in how to fight beyond basics.

Silas Drake

Power - Like all warlocks Silas wields powerful magic, however, rather than focus on fel magic or demons he instead focused on curses and life stealing magic.

Durability - Silas relies on stealing the life from others or his demons to sustain his health in a fight. He is not very durable at all.

Speed - Silas benefits the quickness of being a worgen, but he never likes to stay in that form and so he doesn't fully utilize it's fully potential.

Skill - Zero. Silas has no real combat experience. He lives a life of murder working for the Darkmoon Faire. He does not fight people he finds victims with which to kill and steal their souls or their life force to preserve his own.

Blue Exorcist 147 summary

The official translation is delayed relative to the raws this month so I get to paraphrase a chapter just like old times! The nostalgia!

Fairly detailed spoilers and no images:

Asmodeus goes on about how Shura is full of contradictions (young but also somehow aged, cold like ice but with a burning passion, full of life but death has always been close by) and says she's his type (ewwwww) Shura says Asmodeus is not her type, sorry, and shoots him full of icicles XD He tells her to go deeper with it (eeeewwwwwwwww), the pain makes him feel alive

Rin and Yukio have another round of "BUT SHURA!" "BUT THE WHOLE MISSION!" and the mission wins out They safely make it to the door with the rest of the team, but the door won't open normally so we've got some kind of RPG style door puzzle on our hands Yukio sees the L (probably Left) and R (probably right) on the doors but that doesn't explain THAT MESSED UP LITTLE DISPLAY OVER THERE So the real question is what on EARTH does the bleeding corpse suspended over a meat grinder with the inscription "VL" mean Yukio and Neuhaus together wonder if the V is roman numeral 5 and 5L means you have to give it five liters of blood (one person's worth) to open it They get as far as wondering if you could just borrow like a freshly dead corpse from the battlefield, (they're not using their blood anymore, does it HAVE to be fresh?) before Rin is like….yeah we could take a look at the whole thing from above first though? Heh I think Rin is using fire to burn some footholds as he and Yukio climb? (Edit: wait I'm dumb it's Satan's fire, I already forgot that the walls burn you when you try to climb them lol) Yukio showed off his fireproofness and Rin was all impressed and Yukio very nearly almost smiled

MEANWHILE Amon is struggling with Osceola more than he thought In fact, the fight has damaged/destroyed his emerald ring! His 10.8 carat emerald ring!! Tragic He stomps on Osceola brutally while yelling THAT WAS WORTH MORE THAN YOUR DUMB HUMAN LIFE and OH JESUS IS THAT A DISEMBODIED ARM My Concern For Osceola Gauge just spiked again guys Katoh please he's two days from retirement!! Amon decides screw it, he's just gonna blow everything up at this point. Apparently being a sun god comes with the ability to go supernova and be reborn later (Huh! The sun disk over his head is his demon heart! and he's able to shatter it and have it reform) It'll take like ten minutes for this drama man to do his drama thing so let's cut back to the kids

Rin and Yukio find that the door leads to a bottomless pit even if you DO get it open So what gives? L might be "left" but what's the V? Rin observes that there's some patterns/symbols/something on the ground. Yukio recognizes them as Indo-Arabic numerals. V is 7. So I guess the seventh symbol on the left is the real door. They go there and find a little hidden entrance. No blood sacrifice required! The weird meat machine is a gross red herring! I feel like this is a lil jab at the first anime ending XD

On the way to bring everyone to the entrance, we run into This Asshole Again ("BUT SHURA!" "BUT THE WHOLE MISSION!") Asmodeus says that it's a pretty sweet gig, being a demon of his or Amon's level. Easy to find hosts and they don't disintegrate too fast. But BECAUSE of that, you don't REALLY get to feel alive (He shoots nasty energy beams at the kids and Shura defends them as he's saying this) Asmodeus says that pain and fear and despair are all proof that you're alive! And he can live vicariously through Shura by making her feel these things! Ew!

Cliffhanger on him winding up to kill someone or other in front of an exhausted Shura, while Osceola tries to stand up Osceola is just absolutely maxing out my Concern For Osceola Gauge in that last panel. Concern levels are off the charts here

[nemo-in-wonderland]

What would Arena do if Mephistopheles got him aelf kidnappet by an Anyssal demon lord? And how scaried would Asmodeus be, of her rage?

Morning, Nonnie!!

thank you so much for your ask, please, do feel free to partake in some cake and a bit of coffee!

SO.

ONTO YOUR ASK.

Well, for a starter, if Mephistopheles were to find himself kidnapped, Aranea would immediately know that there would be something wrong on Mephistopheles' side (unless some kind of forces were to interrupt the Patron/Warlock bond that they share or unless he himself is the one impeding her to know, because HE KNOWS how she would react).

First thing my girl would do is to focus all her energies into finding out who is the the fucker who had actually the gull and gumption to try this sort of trick, because you can rest assured that after she lost Halim in her youth, she is not going to risk and have someone take her husband away from YET AGAIN.

She knows that Mephisto is a powerful Archdevil, and she knows that most of the time he would be more than capable to just get out of trouble by himself.

But even Gods can be tricked (as Greek Mythology has taught us), so she is not taking any chances and she would immediately try to locate him first and foremost.

Now, differently from what happened with Halim, she would not resort to just set everything on fire, partially because she knows that she is playing with forces stronger than herself - whose whole power derives from Mephisto's- and partially because, as much as that would be her first reaction, she needs to play smart.

But I think that, in general, as cool headed as Aranea would try to be, as calm as she would try to be, her rage would be IMMENSE and hard to contain. It fuels her entire being and it's ever present, an endless lava pool made of wrath and fury that's always boiling just beneath the surface and only awaits a small crack in the surface to find its way out. (again, Mephisto has one heck of a temper, but you can bet that Aranea has one to rival his bursts of anger. Needless to say, their fights are rather explosive, in Mephistar -but so it's the reconciliatory love making that follows suit -ok and now I am digressing lololol).

So, one of her moves would be to actually try and keep that rage at ease, and locate and call upon herself as many Patrons among the ones that benefits from Mephisto's powers as she can find, along with as many powerful members of the Cult of Mephisto, and gather them together so to have enough man power to distract the one that had dared to do this trick to her while she tries to find her way to Mephisto and free him and take him back with her (and, if things were to go south, they could be used as cannon fodder, and provide Mephisto with new souls from the contracts he created with those Warlocks, giving him more power, so it's a win-win situation for her -sorry, Aranea is ruthless and when it comes to her love, her soulmate, her everything, her Mephistopheles, doubly so. I mean what can be expected from someone that consort with Mephisto?

But make no mistake, regardless of how she will try and reach Mephisto, the one that has taken him will end up dead.

And if it happens to be Lord Devil in Baator, then she will gladly make sure that they meet their final death.

As for Asmodeus, I do not think that he is particularly concerned about Aranea's powers doing any harms to him. She is just mortal, and he is basically a God, so he truly has nothing to fear from her in that sense.

But one thing that absolutely unnerves him (and kinda make him wish HE had been the one to answer to Aranea's call back when she evoked a Patron) is Aranea's absolute devotion and loyalty to Mephistopheles, her fierce willingness to protect him even if he truly doesn't need to be protected and her apparent lack of fear (mixture of courage and self-destructive tendency of not caring about what happens to her- something that drives Mephisto absolutely crazy with anxiety -there, Aranea, you see? You broke the Lord of Cania! You gave the Mephisto anxiety!) in the face of dangers that are much bigger than herself).

She is a wild card, and you cannot know what she will end up doing, and this, coupled with the fact that she is more than likely complotting with Mephistopheles to overthrow Asmodeus, absolute unnerves Asmodeus.

Thank you so much for the ask, and sorry for the long babbling <3

I had fun thinking of Mephistea! Truly thank you for sending this to me! <3

PROPAGANDA

MARY WINCHESTER (SUPERNATURAL)

1.) in a series famous for fridging women she is THEEE og. fridged in the first five minutes of episode she might as well be in the freezer.

AND THEN. this sounds like some real stupid spn bullshit but. season 12. she gets defrosted. and its the smartest thing the writers ever did. does some rly fun things with the dissonance between s&d (mostly d)’s image of her and the actual real human person she was and is!!

ONE SEASON LATER: they stop trying to bother giving her a tangible personality or any interesting conflict (imo this was probably motivated by poor fan response to her; a big chunk of the fanbase were just as upset as dean was that she wasn’t the perfect mother they’d pictured. HOWEVER it is still canon. a canon that is easily swayed by fandom misogyny is also misogynistic ofc). they strip away complexity they’d set up in season 4/5 by saying umm actually things would be worse if she didnt make that morally complicated demon deal in her youth <3

TWO SEASONS LATER: still not giving her any personality. worse than just not doing anything else with her complicated relationship with motherhood at this point, it feels like theyve stripped her down to nothing BUT that. they shove her into a relationship with s&d’s other parental figure with literal sub-zero chemistry for no reason. and ummm guess what :) they kill her again!! back in the fridge for you, bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE SEASONS LATER: s&d find a spell that was explicitly invented with the intention of bringing her back and they just say like welllllll she seems like shes having a good time in heaven. i HAAAAAAAAATE THIS FUCKING SHOWWWWWWWWWWWW

ALSO: even if she doesnt get in i recommend checking out the photo. its rly good. samantha smith milf of all time forreal.

(my last supernatural submission. sorry for putting you through this bestie. i could go on but i dont think i should.)

2.) The first scene in the show is her getting brutally killed by a demon. It is what starts the events of the entire show, since she gets fridged for manpain. And then she gets resurrected in season 12 and is a really interesting character and then she gets fridged for manpain AGAIN

3.) Going for the Guinness world record in “number of times one show fridged the same mom,” SPN?

KONAN (NARUTO)

1.)

• She is taken in as a *child* by jiraiya and trained as a ninja. When jiraiya leaves his parting comment is that she'll be beautiful when she grows up & to come visit him when she's 18 (she's still a child at this point) ����

• Konan isn't given the chance to express her own opinions - she's shown to simply follow nagato's lead. 

• Unlike nagato, she isn't acknowledged as being naruto's ""sibling student"" for having the same teacher. Naruto isn't shown to care about this bond and is entirely unaffected by her death.

• Wrote out of the story & killed off immediately after Nagato's death for no reason. Doesn't get a chance to exist as an independent character even after she becomes the leader of her village.

• Naruto vows to bring peace to the rain village but never does or is even shown to think about it or her. (& in boruto the rain village is even shown to be in ruins)

• Konan puts her faith in naruto and vows that she and the village will support him in his quest for peace. Despite this she doesn't ever get to fight at his side during the war because she is immediately killed off.

• She also doesn't get to show up in the war as an opponent to naruto. Despite being a founding member of the akatsuki she isn't reanimated along with the others in the war.

• While her fight against tobi showcases her skill and preparedness it only exists as a reason to kill her off. Tobi only wins due to his plot armour.
