#just fang's henchmen

[lunastars21]

Gets out my book which is pretty small since they are very insignificant and only appear like

Once or twice in some volumes before getting killed off

Imma just tell ya don't worry about reading Archie at all fam, I GOTCHU home slice bread alice

NUMBER ONE:

So Jeff (the only one with facial hair he has a beard woah! And honestly looks better in the art with fang than the concept art one in my opinion!), Konor (beanie very cute I know his concept art says conor by his wiki says Konor, I just stick with Konor!) and Karl (silly boi definitely), when being made they are actually named after staff members who worked on that volume of the comic! Karl bollers (Writer), Jeff Powell (letterer), and Conor Thomas (Inker). Their names are only told in the fuckin encyclopedia though it's never mentioned in the comic itself.

They first appear in issue #122 okay

And ya know what they do in their first appearance

RUN OVER WOMEN

THESE BOYS HAVE SUCH An

ENTRANCE

Very sad that's not the marvelous queen fang is riding it's just a random bike but like

RUN OVER WOMEN, I mean, fang did warn he was incoming tho lol got em

NUMBER 2:

Uh they kidnap Sally, yada yada yada

But they capture Jeff, he's the only one that doesn't escape.

SLAMS TABLE, AND THE ONLY ONE WITH SOME KINDA PERSONALITY

The trio are just..thugs they don't have much but being bad

But ya know what Jeff has that the other two DON'T

ABSOLUTELY UNFAZED WHEN BEING THREATENED TO BE DROPPED OFF A TOWER!

Like ignore the last two fuckin

Beating him down images, THIS MAN YAWNED AT THEIR ATTEMPT TO MAKE HIM TALK,

AND HE LAUGHS AT SALLY'S DAD FOR LOOKING PATHETIC, LAUGHING AT ROYALTY THIS MAD MAN, HE MAY NOT LOOK ATTRACTIVE BUT BY THE GODS HE HAS GUTS

And that Influences my Jeff, god's speed you fuckin mad lad jerk!

NUMBER 3.

Left page they do look very SCRUNKLY, look at them with their little guns, awww, baby men trying to be threatening, daww uwu

Uhh sadly sonic finds them, beats them up, save Sally, yada yada yada love triangle bullshit whatever, Fang is the only one that escapes okay, the trio are all captured now and kinda pissy at fang for ya know, him being the only one out but what do you expect him to do, get caught at the same time as you guys come on NOW, I bet they would've left the same way if given the chance.

NumBer 4.

Anyway fang gets Captured eventually and oh no

LIKE IDK WHY THEY STILL MAD

If anything they should've worked together to escape and we could've gotten interesting character development but NOOOO. Ahem my salty self aside, fang escapes on his own and

Poisons their food according to the encyclopedia. And that's the last we ever seen of them.

Closes book.

So basically

Characters with good designs that COULD'VE had a good relationship with fang, but instead Archie threw that away and didn't use them later. With Jeff being the one I find that had a ton of potential!

So that kick-started off my attachment to them and basically adopted these weasel's

And like try to get the sonic community to adopt them and give them something! So yeah!

I wonder how the staff feel to basically being killed off...I mean having a character named after you in a comic only for them to vanish..man!

Also God this is very long sorry whshsj thanks for reading my ramble if ya gotten this far

Okay actual question from moi today

Do you have a version of Karl, Jeff, and Konor in your fic/universe, are they just background characters or..

Not important since they aren't really important in Archie either being their only appearance and

They get killed...

Sobs

Why must I get attached to underrated characters

I know nothing about them except they exist. 😭

I'm open to learning about them though!

Part 2 🖤I made the demon king a black man. I don’t see many Yandere POC OCs 🖤

Yandere Head Canons:

Defying Destiny

Yandere Demon King x Isekai Saintess Reader x Yandere Hero (mentioned)

TW: imprisonment, kidnapping, stalking, uncomfortable themes, sexual themes, Somniaphilia, Dacryphilia, etc.

Part 1

You woke up wrapped in the silk sheets of snow unfamiliar bed. Your eyes wild and your heart raced in your chest like a startled animal. Where were you and where was Reinhardt?! Why were there candles everywhere in this dark bedroom? Was Reinhardt planning to… oh god you were terrified.

You felt a sob rack through you when reality set in. Had Reinhardt stolen you away to live out some sort of sick fantasy instead of going through with his quest to slay the demon king? No… Reinhardt wouldn’t bring you to such a luxurious home. But who on earth brought you here?

“I see you’re awake, my delicate flower.�� Your head snapped to the doorway to see the silhouette of a large man. You felt your blood run cold and a shiver run down your spine by his presence. That raspy baritone voice belonged to a stranger.

You flinched when the man suddenly slapped his clawed hands on the end of the king sized bed. Your eyes met gold for the first time and you seeped your heart stopped in your chest from pure terror. There was no mistaking who your captor was… he was the demon king.

“What’s the matter, saintess?” He chuckled as he reached a taloned finger out to hook around a strand of your hair. “Cat got your tongue?”

You felt tears stream down your cheeks when he flashed his long fangs at you. He was bewitchingly beautiful with his burnt umber skin and golden eyes. There was no doubt he was a demon and that fact terrified you. What did he want from you? Was he… was he going to kill you?

The demon king sighed at your shivering form before he moved himself to sit beside you. His hand moved to hold yours. “It’s alright, darling. I’m not going to hurt you.”

You sniffled when he began to wipe away your tears. “W… what?”

“I’d never hurt my saintess.” The demon king gave you a toothy smile. “My beautiful, merciful saintess… my salvation.”

You gasped when he brought your right hand up to his lips to press a tender kiss to the back of it. “It’s so wonderful to finally have you here with me… you’ll be safe here.”

“I’m just a bit confused about all of this…” You felt so small under his intense gaze, like he was about to pounce on you at any second. “Who are you and why have you taken me?”

The demon lord chuckled as he rose up from the bed to stand at his full, intimidating height. His curved black horns nearly added another foot to his height which made he give you a smirk. “Why I am the Demon King but you can call me Amon.”

The demon king- no, Amon, bowed his head to you. “And I took you to save you.”

You were surprised to see a tray of freshly made food in front of you when Amon snapped his fingers. Your stomach growled at the delicious sight, but you were hesitant to accept… Amon quickly caught onto your hesitance and took a bite of the food for you. “Don’t worry, it’s real and completely edible. Only the best for my saintess.”

You shyly took a bite and smiled at the taste. It was lovely…

Amon smiled warmly at you, his golden eyes studied your satisfied smile in pure joy. He was so happy to please you!

Amon ran his talons through his long black hair with a smile. “I’ll take care of you from now on. You’re safe here.”

As the weeks melted into months, Amon kept his word. None of his demon nor monster henchmen were mean towards you, unlike the hero’s party. Sure Amon was never far from you, but his company was much preferred over Reinhardt’s. Amon would bring you meals and made sure you had fresh clothes. He pampered you like a beloved pet.

Though it was never officially stated, you were Amon’s lover. And thus, you treated as such by his subjects. They’d wait for you on hand and foot. You received various expensive clothing and jewelry, they were eager to make you smile. It was such a stark contrast compared to your treatment prior…

You often gazed out your window at the volcanic city below. It was fascinating just how different monsters and demons lived from humans… so why did the humans want to destroy them so much?

You jumped when Amon entered the room to wrap his muscular arms around your waist, his nose pressed onto your shoulder. A few of his box braids tickled your skin. “I missed you so much… I just wish the humans would leave us alone. I grow tired of the hero and his party. They’re so much weaker without your barriers and healing. To think they never treated you well. What a bunch of losers.”

You turned to gaze at Amon in interest. “What is it that they’re after? Why do the humans hate your people so much?”

Amon gave you the softest of smiles, a bit of his fangs peaked out from under his lip. “Our magic stones. Monsters and demons produce enough magic stones to fuel humanity for eons… they’re worth a lot of money to humans.”

Amon pressed a tender kiss to your shoulder, his gold eyes stared expectantly up at you. “You’re the only human to ever question their greed and motives. You don’t wish to be bound to a destiny thrust upon you by the world.”

Amon bent down on one knee and pressed his lips over your palms and fingers. “Join me. Together we can defy our destiny. You don’t have to be a Saintess forced to marry the hero and I won’t have to be a page in the history books.”

You felt a blush on your cheeks when he tilted his handsome face at you. “Let’s watch the world burn together.”

And now you had a choice to make. To fulfill the destiny predetermined for you or to defy your destiny.

I think we don't talk enough about the implications of Val Velocity's main color being white. So I'm writing a short essay about it.

About Val Velocity's character design

I need to start this off with a brief rundown of the narrative of Danger Days. Danger Days is centered around themes of self expression, anti-conformism and anti-corporation. The killjoys are rebels who are fighting BL/ind, an evil company that seeks to control every aspect of an individuals' life. The Killjoys fight with their appearance just as much as they do with guns. They use their flamboyant, eccentric and colorful clothing as a way to challenge the sanitized, conformist society that BL/ind is promoting. The mask, which in other media is typically used to indicate hiding one's true self, in the context of Danger Days takes the opposite meaning: the Killjoys' customized masks are the ultimate tool of self-expression. Each member of the Fabulous Four, the original gang of Killjoys, has a color distinctive to them, which matches the color of their gun.

In the context of Danger Days, whites and greys are used to symbolize lack of identity and conformism. This is evident if we compare the original Killjoys to BL/ind agents.

Now we get to Val Velocity as a character. His story takes place several years after the Fabulous Four, have been killed. Val is the leader of a group called the Ultra Vs, and he's trying to continue the legacy of the Fabulous Four. We learn that he particularly looks up to their leader, Party Poison. This is reinforced by the fact that his own gun is yellow just like theirs. However, Val is fundamentally different than the former Killjoys. He's arrogant, and he fights because he craves violence and glory, rather than to actually stand up for what is right.

His design and attitude conveys this quite well in my opinion:

His palette is almost completely monochromatic. Hell, if he was placed amongst the BL/ind henchmen instead of the Killjoys in the pic below I wouldn't even bat an eye.

Val does not understand what the Fabulous Four standed for. He's not fighting BL/ind to protect people, or for the sake of freedom of self expression, or to fight conformism. In fact, Val's own sense of identity is shaky, as he's trying to follow the footsteps of someone else. Most of his identity revolves around trying to emulate Poison: even his own gun, which is almost as important as the mask to a Killjoy, is the same color as theirs. And the gun, something he has assimilated from someone else's identity, is one of the few things differentiating him from the BL/ind agents as far as color schemes go.

Val is not fighting for ideals, he's fighting because he craves violence. We see him hurting others with no remorse, often deliberately harming those who are weaker than him for the sake of it. In which way is his violence any better than BL/ind's?

The necklace with vampire fangs, arguably his most iconic design element, also plays into this. The Killjoys are fighting the Dracs, BL/ind agents who wear a mask with vampire fangs. In the context of Danger Days, his necklace is an open threat to the Dracs. His most prominent design element is a symbol of violence.

His palette being mostly white, in an universe where color is a synonym of resistence and self expression, is very telling. One would naturally assume that if he were to add color to his appearance during the story, it would be a sign of character growth. But the ttlotfk comics subvert that expectation, because when that moment comes it has exactly the opposite meaning:

Val, after spiraling into paranoia and mania, dyes his hair "Poison red" in an attempt to appropriate Poison's legacy. This is the ultimate act of lack of self identity. The first time Val has tried to add color to his appearance, what should have been an act of self-expression, is him attempting to "take" someone else's color. But he cannot be Poison, or overshadow his legacy. Val is only a caricature of who Poison was: aside from the gun, and the bright red hair, he has nothing in common with them. He doesn't have the morals, nor he fights for the same ideals.

I think Val, as a character, is meant to be a testament to how in every rebellion there will be people looking for an outlet for violence rather than fighting for a right cause.

Malleus Parenting Headcannon's

Malleus would have to get multiple tips from you and Lilia as he rarely even sees children because of Fae aging but he's trying his best! It just takes time for him to get used to parenthood but he eventually learns how to take care of a half human baby.

He would also be quite oblivious to pretty normal things for a child to do, especially if you two had a daughter. He would still be supportive (if not spoiling) but would be incredibly confused over normal human hobbies or any hobbies he didn't understand. "What is this "video gaming" you talk about". Blame Ortho and Idia for that.

The only hobby he would be hesitant on letting your children do is cooking as he is worried that Lilia will rub off on them and both ruin your kitchen and get themselves injured.

I headcannon that having half fae children would have human looking eyes and hair colors but fae attributes like horns, tails, and fangs. Fortunately, Malleus would probably be able to hold all of your children at once by holding them up by his tail and arms. He also shines their horns to make them look glossy and pretty, at least until they cover their and his horns in flower crowns.

He has a hidden garden solely for the royal family where you all can have a nice picnic or a place to just rest for a moment. Moments like these are ones Malleus will remember for eternity and ones he wished would last just as long. He enjoys it when you rest your head on his shoulder as you two watch your children run around in the flowers and play fight in the grass...Until you hear a wail and a cries coming from one of your children with a scraped knee.

Lilia is 100% the first pick for babysitting, even though he kinda gave himself the job. And would be very persistent of teaching them his cooking skills- which Malleus wouldn't allow them even close to the kitchen. In the end though, Lilia is incredibly caring and quick to teach your children what he taught malleus. He's overjoyed to be a godfather.

Sebek would be very strict over your children, reprimanding them anytime they roughhouse with Malleus or track mud into the castle. Yes, he has made your children cry a few times, which you gladly took care of.

Silver is usually there to keep Sebek in check and help you when your children start to stress you out. Basically, he becomes a big brother.

Ace and Deuce are amazing at taking care of your children, but with your supervision, much to Ace's dismay. They entertain your children though, even if they don't mean to.

Grim calls them henchmen #_ for however many children you have. Now he has the army he oh so wanted.

Jack would be that cool uncle at Christmas that would bring gifts and spend the whole day at the park with your kids.

On a serious note though, Malleus will definitely develop some post papa blues. He would doubt himself a lot on whether or not he was being an effective parent. Was he teaching his children the right things? Was he caring enough? Are his children going to hate him? It will take a lot of comforting and personal attention to get him out of the spiral.

Thoughts I had during TGCF S2 Ep 8

Starting this week, I’ll be finishing my TGCF S2 Reactions!

Now here we go!

Previously on TGCF…

-That’s a lot of Orcs

-Man, I’m surprised none of Qi Rong’s lackeys are noticing disguised!Xie Lian and Hua Cheng and are like, “What?  I don’t remember the boss hiring ghosts more eye catching than we are.”

-“Oh?  Would you like me to do that?”  That delivery was awesome and it got Xie Lian adorably flustered!

-They have fangs!

-XL, you stopped two guys in a sword fight in Ep 5 you’ll still come out on top

-That’s the only quality he respects

-They’re still blending in

-That’s a lot of humans

-Baby Guzi!!!

-A new disguise!!!

-He’s returned

-Xie Lian looks great as a mortal in disguise

-There’s like 20 of them

-I’m surprised another lackey is noticing disguised Xie Lian and San Lang at the end of line and says, “Hey, I don’t remember capturing those last two.  Shouldn’t we tie ‘em up with the other humans?” And then the other ghost just goes “Nah, our king we’ll be pleased with two more for his feast.”

-That creepy odd flute music

-Aw baby Guzi

-Whoever did this track, props

-He touched his hand!!!

-He’s writing hanzi!

-San Lang understood! 

-San Lang’s still savoring the touch!

-Now San Lang has a message too!

-In other words he just wrote, “Heads up”

-*Content Warning for Accidental and unintentional Cannibalism*

-Gross

-That ain’t meat jerky

-Thank you San Lang

-That music keeps getting creepier as they travel deeper

-His throne room

-Ugh that ain’t chili

-San Lang’s enraged!

-That Xie Lian statue

-Oh no that statue was beaten in the past!

-They took their anger out on a young man who tried to help

-And here he is!

-He knows him

-That green oni mask

-Thank you Hua Cheng and E Ming!

-Aand there’s a backup chorus

-I think ‘Murderize’ disappointed every English Major watching this Episode

-Thank you Pei Xiu!

-I think he just wanted to be left in peace

-My eyes widened as Qi Rong swore like a really bad sailor

-Gross Qi Rong, that’s disgusting this guy’s officially worse than Koh the face stealer

-Man, I don’t think we’ve heard Feng Xin swear a lot until the previous episode 

-San Lang’s controlling his anger

-I wouldn’t want to be massaged by ancient Chinese orcs

-Xuan Ji got mentioned

-It’s official, Qi Rong supports Women’s wrongs

-RIP Xiao Ying, Pengtou not so much

-Qi Rong roasted the heck outta almost every Heavenly Official shown so far in the series

-I think Hua Cheng’s already better than Qi Rong

-He’s trying to cause drama between the martial gods

-His legs are propped up on Stone!XL’s bowing head

-The Dragon floor relief

-‘Pei Fling’’s an accurate nickname

-That one orc selecting a new human: Eenie, meanie, meinie, That guy

-Oh no Baby Guzi!

-Nyoom! Gotta go fast! - Basically Hua Cheng

-Literally the lackey that focused on XL and HC: I told you we should’ve tied those two guys back with the others! (This quote was inspired by one of Catwoman’s Henchmen in a cold opening of an episode in Batman: The Brave and the Bold and that same henchman said, “I told you we should’ve taken his utility belt!”)

-He caught the statue!

-And the statue’s gently placed on the ground

-Doll!Qianqiu moved!

-They’ve got more cave trolls!

-His eyes glowed

-Gotta go fast again!

-His head’s in an iron grip!

-Dang, literally 0 seconds after Qi Rong asked for help and got faceplanted into the ground by Hua Cheng sent all of his armed lackeys fleeing into the cave.  Dude really has the dumbest henchmen in the series

-Guzi’s Dad’s last action of selflessness was protecting his own son

-XL saved Baby Guzi!

-You gotta love Bad Cop!Hua Cheng

-Parental Xie Lian!

-Dude if I were you I’d keep the kid with me at all times, not that I want to be parent whatsoever

-Move over MCU Loki

-Qi Rong low key has the same pathetic energy as Prince John did in Disney’s Robin Hood

-“And then there’s me.  Smiling, as I end your damn life!” Preach Hua Cheng

-Right in front of his own statue

-There goes the Oni Mask

-Ugh purple lipstick and Xie Lian had better cosmetics in S1 EPs 1-3

8 down! 4 Eps left to go!

[devilsrecreation]

All these oc’s but not enough threats, so let’s turn the sound up! You know what? I think it’s time for a villain roundup! (VILLAIN ROUNDUP)

Chonge (fang)-puff adder

I wouldn’t say Chonge is evil per se, more like misunderstood. He’s faced quite a bit of trauma in his past and his entire life thinking he was destined to be the bad guy. In reality, he’s afraid. He’s seen how his fellow snakes have been treated and has even watched his friends die with his own eyes. This got him to view everyone around him as an enemy in fear of getting eaten or mistreated in any way. He often tries to eat at least one of the skinks

He eventually starts thinking differently after getting rescued by Kifo, leading him to reform. No one (especially not the skinks) trust him at first, but they warm up to him

Chimp-Mkatili (cruel)

The leader of his tribe of violent chimps whom act like a gang. He’s an old acquaintance of Sumu and is majorly unpredictable. He can be chill one minute and trying to beat you senseless the next. Nobody really knows why he and his chimps are like this, but it seems as though he does bad things just because he can. He currently has a vendetta against the Outlands, as his former home got destroyed during Scar’s rule during Season 2. They now live probably in another forest out of the Pridelands and are plotting their revenge to destroy the Outlands and everyone in it, no matter what things are like now

As for how he knows Sumu, Sumu was a known hitman/assassin who would frequently get involved with evil animals to kill someone for food as payment. Yeah, the job with Simba was NOT his first rodeo, he’s been doing it for a while. Anyway, Mkatili was no exception to this and has hired Sumu to help them get rid of a rival chimp tribe. They eventually meet each other again, but a now (semi) reformed Sumu refuses Mkatili’s offer to join him which ultimately pisses the chimp off

Secretary bird-Kandamiza (crush; oppress)

A snobbish, holier-than-thou bird who thinks all snakes are evil incarnate and does whatever she can to harm them. She does this by trapping a poor serpent in her talons and stomping on their head until they’re either knocked out or dead. In her mind, she feels as if she’s protecting all of Africa from the evil that is the serpent race. Like Hatari, she claims she respects the circle of life, but fails to understand how snakes are part of it. She’s basically a representation of Hollywood’s tendency to make snakes the villain

She’s also a threat to the lizard population and tends to get a little greedy when hunting

Honey badger-Mpinzani (challenger; opponent)

Bunga, but evil. That’s how everyone in the Outlands describe him. A narcissistic, egotistical poacher who will gladly take anyone in anything. He used to be somewhat idolized as a hero/daredevil way back when, but all that fame got to his head and he started thinking he could do no wrong. Then he began causing problems just so he can swoop in and resolve it and starting unnecessary fights with other animals. He was eventually caught and banished, now poaching anywhere he wants …including the Outlands. Oh, and he’s friends with mongooses because of course he is

He doesn’t want peace. He wants problems.

Black shadow-like monsters- represent poachers/people involved with the Exotic Pet Trade

This one is….pretty self explanatory I think. Although I will say they are easily the most dangerous villains

Msumari (nail) and Mkaidi (bully)

Two more of Kenge’s toxic siblings who act as henchmen to Jino.

Msumari’s usually seen more with Jino than Mkaidi is and prefers to torture Kenge psychologically than physically, unlike her siblings. Her psychological torment can often break Kenge or whoever her victim is, thus putting the “nail on the coffin”.

Mkaidi is the dense, but short-fused one of the group that likes to aid Jino in beating up his victims. He’s also sort of the yes-man (lizard), supporting Jino’s quips with a “you tell em, Jino!” or something like that

I don’t know if they’d be alongside Jino in his debut episode, but they’d definitely be in the flashbacks

[uselessheretic]

ugh something i think is fun with ep2 and izzy's introduction is that he, along with ivan and fang, aren't actually introduced as obviously antagonistic forces. they're a threat, but not so much in their actions, but in the uncertainty of what they want and how they plan on getting it.

the looking glass draws an immediate parallel to nigel and the english navy, where both times we see people judging stede from afar. both times we see the characters perplexed by stede's presence and decide to take a closer look.

the threat is there, looming, where we know that stede have something that izzy and co want ie. the hostages. but it's interesting to me how that the first time he interacts with the crew is to just saunter up to buttons and talk to him. "you're not ghosts are ye?" is a silly question, yeah, but izzy's answer "we're but humble wanderers passing through" is notable, where he draws out that ambiguity of their presence.

asks how many people are in stede's party, where we can see that he's sizing them up too. unlike nigel, izzy hasn't actually drawn a conclusion on stede bonnet yet. the information he has is conflicting, that he's someone capable of taking two english officers hostage (impressive) and someone stupid enough to ground his ship (not so impressive.) one of these actions must be a fluke, but he doesn't know enough yet to say which one.

and we don't actually ever know what izzy would have done if he found stede before the tribe did. i know i make this joke all the time, but like, izzy didn't actually steal his hostages. he bought them fair and square! if stede had to blame someone then it would be the tribe, not izzy. we never see izzy choose to go into a direct confrontation with stede, and we don't know if he would've, or if he would have avoided it. not because of his goodwill, but on the risk assessment of whether stede was worth it.

even when izzy responds to stede, he doesn't attack him. he cuts up his shirt and threatens him, but i feel like there's an argument to be made that izzy is bluffing just as much as stede is. that this is his own fuckery complete with cutting his name into stede's shirt and showing his tits.

stede's just better at it than him. izzy runs the risk assessment and he's just not the best at math. he falls for stede's bluff and cuts his losses with still getting a single hostage out of it.

by the end of it, izzy isn't anymore certain of stede's competence, than we are of his character. we get the impression that stede had made an enemy, but less so that it's even izzy himself, and more that we realize that stede fucked with the wrong henchmen and that blackbeard's now following his ship.

ofmd plays with our perspectives a lot where it will have us revisit a character multiple times throughout the season, and realize how biased our first impressions were. mary isn't a cold, mean wife. blackbeard's head isn't made of smoke he's actually quite handsome. fang is a sweetheart, jim can talk, spanish jackie is actually fairly fun to drink with. i'm willing to bet that we'll continue revisiting these characters, as the audience is let into their personal world more, and as they change themselves. we never truly leave that ambiguity behind, if anything, as an audience we're learning to adjust ourselves to being more comfortable within it.

There was no need for Adam to be pathetic

You know, the more the time passes, the more I come to accept that Adam was a toxic ex-boyfriend. That doesn't mean I like the idea, it's just that I am tolerating that. If we don't focus on that, we can focus on other matters. For example, Why is Adam pathetic?

1.His emotional outburst

"I will not allow them to ruin this! The Belladonna name has brought me nothing but grief! You've done well in finding the deserter. Bring her to me, alive. But not before you've slaughtered her family. I have a promise to keep."

Look, why Adam is acting like that. Of course, he hates Blake, but during his confrontation with her in Beacon he maintained his cool most of the time. (He had some moments when he loses control later remain calm. Of course he was angry, but that fury was inside of him).

What's more, it was a reunion with his henchmen. Adam should understand that he shouldn't show himself emotional in front of his subordinates. Adam was about to appear as one of the important villains during the battle of Haven, it's a bad idea to show him pathetic.

And the line "The Belladonna name has brought me nothing but grief" sounds selfish. He should portray himself as selfless. So he should have said: "The Belladonna name has brought US nothing but grief".

We also have he losing his calm fighting Blake, not only she hit him to the ground. But also he was willing to kill himself along with his allies.

Of course he doesn't care about his allies and hates his enemies there. But what he is doing is just dumb. Most of the people there were faunus, he can't continue killing humans if he is dead.

"I am making humanity pay for WHAT THEY'VE DONE!!"

He again shows himself losing control. Again, he is in front of his allies, he should try to remain with composure.

What's more, he doesn't have to worry, his allies were fighting inside of Haven, once they were done they could help him deal with the faunus militia.

Remember, Adam tried to blow up everyone before Hazel said:

"This... is your business. Not mine. Fix it." So, he doesn't have reasons to think his allies won't help him.

2. Wasn't needed to write Adam as a coward.

Some might say that his cowardice fits with his abusive personality. However, while many abusers are cowards, being an abusers doesn't necessarily mean you're a coward. 

He's not a school bully like Cardin, he's an abuser in his relationship with Blake and a sadist in his treatment of Yang.

There are 3 instances where cowardice is shown in Adam's canon. When he submits to Cinder after her threats, when he escapes Haven, when he decides to confront Blake when she's alone.

However, 2 of these moments can be kept based on other traits of Adam's personality. That and a sense of self-preservation.

When he submits to Cinder it's not just out of cowardice, he also does it because Cinder gives him the opportunity to get revenge and power.

See? Not making Adam a coward doesn't change his actions too much.

I feel that making him a coward makes him pathetic too, and a villain like him should be more intimidating.

Also, we can change the script a bit if Adam isn't a coward. He could rescue his followers if he wasn't a coward.

Why would he do that? Adam wouldn't rescue them out of kindness, but he would do it to keep the White Fang's loyalty. You know, to prevent what happened in canon from happening.

It's not that hard, just kill the militia and police who had them subdued. Adam may not be Qrow, but he's not as weak as Jaune either. It's not only a matter of strength, I know, but I'm talking about skills.

Some will say that the reason Adam lost the WF's loyalty was actually because he turned his followers against their families. However, that's not the case. Neither Blake nor the White Fang mention that as a reason why they abandoned him. They always say that they left him because he abandoned them in Haven. White Fang Goon 02: We? Everyone knows what you did. You abandoned your brothers at Haven! They never complain about him ordering them to attack the Faunus Militia.

Anyway, if Adam keeps the White Fang's loyalty, the battle with Argus could happen with the White Fang now involved.

Some will say that there are important events happening. That we don't have time to focus on a "Random Asshole".

But Adam isn't just a random asshole, if Adam keeps the support of the white fang he can be one of the worst terrorists in the world.

Also, this way we can focus on a confrontation with Adam as a villain. Instead of having the much criticized confrontation against Cordovin. 3. Strange lines.

I'm not going to discuss about his characterization as a toxic ex-boyfriend. Again, let's ignore that.

But, think about:

"What does she even see in you?!!"

This is the final confrontation with Adam. He is meant to be creepy, not pathetic. This kind of comments makes it difficult to take him seriously.

I understand he was angry but his dialogues could change to somewhat less cringy. For example, "I will murder you Yang! And later... I will kill her!". It's just a suggestion, but I think most of Adam's lines could be replaced with other thing.

4. Conclusions

Look, all I'm saying is that Adam is a villain. He is meant to be imposing, a serious threat and a horrible menace. Adam shouldn't have been written as a coward and as pathetic.

This is not rewriting him from the bottom, it's just change a few details about him but maintaining overall most of his personality. He would still be a radical terrorist, a psycho, an obsessive person and a toxic ex-boyfriend. Simply, less pathetic.

A Late Birthday Present

[For @firedrakegirl ]

---------------------------------------

Happy Birthday Drake, I hope that you have another great year my friend!

(May you have dreams of possessive and sweet skeleton monsters.)

--------------------------------

Zero, an immense monstrous skeleton weathered with scars in the form of micro-fractures from his years as a Mafia member rising up through the ranks. His grizzled look is complemented by a single golden fang which adorns his maw as sign of him coming to be the Boss.

Drake, though appears meek the small Mage possesses perseverance, their soul will urge them forwards matter what. In spite of the odds stacked against her, will persevere and move forward. Shroud in a lavender light, their soul does have a small white crack in the middle.

Having only recently gotten hitched a few months back, which Zero pulled a couple of strings reforming his slew of dark and grungy henchmen now dressed properly. His best man one of these many now slick mobsters, course attitudes don't change overnight but its subtle how things were changing and now a few months since that dreamily fated day, they're celebrating Drake's first birthday together as a husband and wife.

Not quite used to it though knowing the need of cementing their relationship further, meant that Zero has to make some deals behind Drake's back. Having been hiding the fact that he has a very important present for Drake, a unique necklace that he commissioned from a monster Jeweler...

Granted, though for her benefit secrets must be kept yet in the eyes of a lover always appear... suspecious. The skeleton she'd once known and only recently married had gone cold on her, all things that might've been considered cruel but nessesary by the calculating and ruthless Boss Zero was... 'was' is the right term. In all of his days as a skeleton, there were many things he'd done to secure his status and bore many fruits, such as not openly giving Drake affection for genuine fear of not some simple ploy of some other monster using her but of actually losing his precious lavender.

Yet nothing is simple, with there being a duality of sorts struck since the months he'd started planning this covertly, Drake has been worried sick, burdened by her fear that she has done something wrong to push away her husband somehow. She'd already long since known going into this marriage he wasn't the overly affectionate sort, but this was different, Drake knew that trudging just past that façade was a kind caring skeleton who she clearly knows holds her very dear to him.

Yet to be a hard-ass for his job wasn't an easy task to handle... there was a balance Zero had to strike between loving his wife and maintaining his status between not just between his men, but in the face of allies, rivals, trade partners, and other adversaries he'd since amassed over the years. Questions fill her mind, causing Drake to worry over an incident though small felt rather significant. Solely because the last time they had been at a ball together, as part of a large meeting between various Bosses of other areas, she had forcibly grabbed ahold of his hand in front of one of his men, [**continue edit**] Drake has determination to talk to her husband tonight she has completely forgotten that it's her birthday because of how much anxiety has been running through her

Mermay prompt: sunshine

"Hot Rod you're not allowed to go to the surface it's too dangerous."

"How did you?"

"I have my ways."

"Were you spying on me!?"

He accused tail flicking angrily.

"Only to keep you safe. The surface is dangerous with humans walking around not to mention Decepticons who could be nearby."

He rolled his eyes because he doubted the Decepticons would be anywhere near humans. Besides he was always careful and had found a nice rock where no human ever went. Of course his father refused to listen. Annoyed he swam away going to his room. Tired of speaking with his father.

Feeling frustrated he wanted to prove his father wrong. He was perfectly fine going to the surface himself and didn't need his father's henchmen following him.

Sneaking out he swam to the surface feeling thrilled at the idea of finally being alone.

Jumping out of the water he laid on a rock basking in the sunshine. He didn't hear the human approach until he was too close for comfort. Jumping a little he looked over flashing his fangs.

The human didn't say anything just watched him and he tilted his head confused because he didn't even flinch.

"My name's Soundwave."

The human stepped into the water and he gasped when his legs transformed into a tail. His eyes widened when he realized it wasn't just any tail. It was a sirens. The sworn enemy of the Autobots and also known as Decepticons.

He looked at the siren who was watching him. He couldn't see his face but he could tell the siren was smirking behind his mask when he said.

"And I have been looking for you."

Volume 1: Spring

#Ruby Rose

•The episode is a mix of the vanilla rwby version and the Ice queendom version.

•The episode starts with *the narrators* little speech to Ozpin (vanilla rwby version).

•cue Torchwick and his gang walking into the Dust store. (Note: the gang members have Torchwicks symbol on their clothes because they are his personal henchmen this time.)

•One of the gangsters spots a little, red riding hooded girl drop Dust cannisters into a basket before returning to her weapon magazine.

•"Fork over the Dust and hands behind your head, now!" (the gangster turns the girl around, revealing her face and headphones). (The man motions for the girl to take off her headphones). "Yes?" "Get on the ground and gimme the Dust, now!" "Are you... robbing me?" (As Ruby says this, a smile grows on her face.) "Yes!" "Ooooh... ok."

•The gangster gets flung out the window while Ruby trails behind him, covered in rose petals.

•(Roman turns his head around to watch the spectacle) "A semblance?"

•ICONIC SCYTHE SCENE

•"Criminals beware... for the Red Reaper is here!!!" (Ruby points her weapon at the gangsters). "That old fairytale?" (Roman turns to his henchmen). "Get her!"

•ICONIC FIGHT SCENE

•"Good thing I never gave you a raise... Well, Red, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around..." (raises his cane and opens the bottom to reveal a rifle with a cross grid) "...I'm afraid this is where we part ways!"

•Roman fires at Ruby, who uses her sniper recoil to dodge, she spots Roman climbing a ladder, "Are you hurt, shopkeeper?!" "No but-" "Good!", Ruby launches herself after Roman.

•The bullhead airship apppears, Roman jumps inside, he takes a Burn Dust crystal out and throws it at Ruby before shooting it, causing it to explode in her face.

• "Ohohohohoho!"

•The explosion cloud clears, revealing a violet forcefield around Ruby made by Glynda Goodwitch (no Glynda glyph, those are more exclusive now).

•ICONIC WIZARD DUEL

•(Ruby looks up at Glynda) "You're a Huntress!!! Can I have your autograph?!"

•jail

•"...property damage, using a weapon in a no-shoot-zone, *no huntsman liscence*, and now you're telling me that you've been chasing after criminals before!!!" "But I'm just trying stop criminals, like you!"

•Ozpin comes in and dismisses Glynda. Before she leaves he whispers to her "drop all criminal charges made against her..." Glynda looks confused, but obeys and leaves without a word.

• "Miss Ruby Rose... you have silver eyes."

•The rest of the conversation is basically the same as vanilla rwby.

•insert scene: Ozpin leaves the interragation room after Ruby accepts his offer. We see Yang and Taiyang sitting on a bench waiting for Ruby (they both stand up when they see Ozpin). Ozpin informs them that all charges against Ruby have been dropped... and that she will be attending Beacon academy early. (when Ozpin drops the latter news, the camera zooms in on Taiyang giving Ozpin a death glare.)

•Scene change: "Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" (Yang says as she hugs Ruby to death.)

•Bee's knees conversation.

•The girls attention then changes to the breaking news report on the airships TV system. Lisa Lavender goes over the Dust robbery Ruby just stopped and momentarily puts her mugshot on the screen as the "real life Red Reaper" before she switches to talking about Roman. The shadow people on the air bus start murmering about Ruby, which causes her to frown and hold her head down.

•Lisa Lavender than goes to the next news segment about Faunus riot that police believed was started by the White Fang. The shadow people now start murmering about "animals" and "beasts".

•Ruby looks towards Yang, "The White Fang? Are those... like bad guys, Yang?"

•"Well, I guess you could say... actually, no. They're more like victims." When Yang says this, one of the shadow people walks far away from her. "... I guess not everyone thinks the same way."

•Glynda introduction + speech

•Jaune then bursts into the scene and vomits next to Ruby and Yang.

•Ruby screams.

•Yang punches Jaune.

•The end.

#The Shining Beacon arc

•Basically the same as vanilla rwby: Ruby and Yang's airship lands at Beacon academy. Jaune is vomiting in a trash can in the background. Yang encourages Ruby to make friends by ditching her. Ruby than trips and falls into Weiss + her luggage.

•"What are you doing?!"

•"Uh, sorry?"

•"Sorry! Do you have any idea the damage you could have caused?!" (Weiss then points to the luggage Ruby tripped over). "That suitcase contains a gift that *my* late grandfather gave to me! You could have broken it and the repairs for it would bankrupt your whole family!"

•"What?" Ruby says with a blank stare

•"Don't 'what' me! What are you, brain-dead???" (Weiss then turns her head to talk to herself, out loud). "Is every commoner from Vale this disrespectful?" (Weiss then turns back to Ruby). "Well, what do you have to say for yourself?!"

•"Hey, I said I was sorry princess!"

•"Don't you *dare* call me princess! Do you even know who I am!"

•"Weiss Schnee, second child of Willow and Jacques Scnee, singer, songwriter, producer of the best selling music album in Atlas, and heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, the largest producer of Dust in the world." Blake says after making her first appearance.

•"Finally! Some recognition!"

•"The same company infamous for its racist labor forces and illegal business partners." Blake shoots back while giving Weiss a death glare.

•"Wha- How dare- The nerve of... Ugh!"

•Weiss and Blake then leave Ruby alone.

•"Hey... I'm Jaune."

•"Ruby- WAIT YOU'RE THE GUY THAT THREW UP ON ME!!!"

•"IM SORRY!!!"

•Ruby and Jaune's bonding scene is exactly the same. (including Jaune's chauvanism, Im gonna turn it into a real character flaw).

•Ruby and Jaune then head to the auditorium, Ruby splits from Jaune to hang with Yang, Jaune mopes that his 17 year old behind can't get with a 15 year old, Pyrrha stares at Jaune from behind with horror movie strings playing (im joking).

•Ruby tells Yang about the stuff she just went through, Weiss comes over and tells Ruby that she didn't break her grandfathers gift... which is good because if she did she would have sued the pants off their family. Yang tries to smooth things over, which leads to Weiss' iconic line "Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like tall, blond, and scraggly over there!" "Wow, really!" "No."

•Jaune mishears the conversation and assumes that Weiss confessed her love to him behind his back.

•Ozpin comes in, drop his "yall suck" speech, and leaves. Ruby comments that he was acting a bit weird, and Yang drops that dad (Tai) said Ozpin acted off when he was their headmaster, but dad didn't say much more to her. Cut to Jaune flirting with Weiss.

•Slumber party time!

•"I don't think Dad would approve of all the boys, though."

•"I know I do! (purrs as she watches several muscular, shirtless guys and girls in short clothes... and Jaune).

•The scene where Ruby writes a letter to her friends at Signal is removed, in this au Ruby is very introverted and never had any close friends before.

•Ruby and Yang then talk about the friend, and enemy, that Ruby made in a day.

•The two girls then notice a candle being lit Blake, who is sitting in a corner reading a book. When Yang looks at Blake, she blushes (because bmblb is actually planned from the start this time.)

•Ruby informs Yang about her, so Yang drags Ruby over to Blake so they can make friends (and so she can get a girl).

•Ruby's hero speech to Blake is the same as before because it's perfect.

•Weiss walks over to ruin the fun, same as before.

•The end.

#The Emerald Forest arc

•Ren and Nora are introduced to us basically the same way they were in vanilla rwby, but this time the reason why Nora is so excited is because she and Ren started dating each other the moment they set foot in Beacon.

•Ruby and Yang are having their little conversation but this time Yang stresses to Ruby that if she wants to be a "normal girl" so badly, then maybe she should make friends like a "normal girl".

•Weiss and Pyrrha have their little conversation, but a thousand times more gay (Weiss is shy and blushing)

•"This will be perfect! The smartest girl from Atlas combined with the strongest girl from Argus! Together we will be unstoppable! I can see it now! We'll be school celebrities! We'll get perfect grades! Nothing can come between us now!"

•Jaune comes between them.

•Pyrrha pushes Weiss out of the way so she can talk to Jaune (she wants to peg him so badly).

•Jaune ignores Pyrrha to help Weiss off the ground.

•Weiss knocks Jaune over and then goes right back to Pyrrha. Perfect love triangle!

•"Pyrrha, quick! I need to take you to the school nurse for that muscle spasm you just had!" (Weiss then grabs on Pyrrha's arm and tries to move her) "Oh wow, you are really buff." "I know."

•"Weiss!" (Jaune screams as he hops to his feet) "stop looking at at her... and look at me!"

•"1, why would I want to do that? 2, Jaune is it, do you have any idea who Pyrrha is?" "Nope." "Pyrrha Nikos, graduates top of her class at Sanctum?" "At where?" "Pyrrha Nikos, winner of the Mistral Region Tournaments ten times in a row, a new record!" "Dosen't ring any bells." "SHE'S ON FRONT OF EVERY PUMPKIN PETE'S MARSHMELLOW FLAKES BOX!!!" "That was you!"

•The three of them go back to arguing about teams. Weiss dosen't want herself (or Pyrrha) to be stuck on a team with Jaune, Pyrrha thinks would be an amazing teamate (just saying that to tease him), Jaune gets weird with Weiss and Pyrrha spears him to the wall.

•Ruby and Yang pick him up and everyone goes to the launch pads.

•Ozpin gives his little speech along with his "your teamate will be the first person you make eye contact with" surpise.

•Jaune dosen't know what a landing strategy is gag.

•LANDING STRATEGIES SEQUENCE

•The Ice queendom scene where creepy music plays when Pyrrha finds Jaune is used ("I have you now, my pretty Jaune!")

•Ruby runs for a bit before running into Weiss. Weiss turns and walks away, so Ruby follows her because they are supposed to be teammates now.

•Weiss talks her stuff about Ruby slowing her down, so Ruby pops up in front of her, Weiss asks how, and Ruby goes "It's my semblance, Rose Red! ~and I named it myself~"

•Ruby gives her little speech about she's going to change Weiss' mind about her and she runs off to kill some Grimm, leaving Weiss alone when a pack of Beowolves corner her.

•Yang's fight with the two bears + partnership with Blake goes the exact same way, but this time she blushes when Blake saves her.

•Cut back to Weiss, in her internal monolouge she plans to use Burn Dust to one shot the Beowolf in front of her and then use Wash Dust to create steam from the fire to make a quick get away. Then Ruby pops up in front of her. Weiss wastes her Dust on the wrong target, and then drags Ruby out of there because this time there are like 30 Beowolves (Ruby could still take them, but not without wasting all her Aura).

•Ruby and Weiss have their same argument but from the Ice queendom version.

•Cut back to Jaune and Pyrrha, Jaune runs into a branch and Pyrrha asks to check him for injuries. Jaune replies that he's never been cut in his life, even when he tried to give himself cut eyebrows using his sword and accidentally touched his eyeball with the blade. Pyrrha finds that highly unusual, and pulls out her Scroll to scan Jaune.

•"Jaune, your AP levels have a max of 3,000! Do you know what this means?" "Oh no... I'm going to die!!! Wait, I thought a lot of Aura points were a good thing?" "Jaune, you have more Aura than me." (as Pyrrha says this, she rests a hand on Jaune's shoulder and gives him a bittersweet stare).

•The Ren vs the King Taijitu fight is it's own stand alone scene. Completely unchanged otherwise. Boop included.

•Glynda informs Ozpin that the last partnership has been formed and, unlike last year, there have been zero casualties so far. She then goes on to talk about how "strange" this freshman year has been, one celebrity student by themselves would have been rare, but several (Pyrrha, Weiss, Ruby to an extent, Cardin, unamed shadow people) from different kingdoms all in one place is a little... sus. Ozpin then asks if Glynda is questioning him, and she responds that his plan was to make his perfect "team JNPR" but now there are characters that could give even Pyrrha a run for her money that "just so happened" to turn up at their school. Ozpin admits that even he found it a bit "off" that Weiss Schnee went to their school instead of Atlas or Haven, but now that they have her they may as well use her and students like her for their goals. (Shady Ozpin real???).

•The second Ruby v Weiss argument, Ice queendom version.

•Blake and Yang find the temple with the relics and banter. With extra gay.

•Jaune and Pyrrha wonder into a cave that they believe is the temple because it has strange markings on the walls (note: the markings are simplified versions of Salem's eye emblem). Jaune finds the relic, the relic is the glowing tip of a Deathstalkers stinger tail. Run away time!

•Cut to Ruby and Weiss, who are riding on a Nevermore because Ruby thought it would it would be the fastest way to escape the forest fire Weiss created after they wondered around in circles for an hour. Ruby decides that they should jump. Weiss dosen't.

•Ruby jumps and falls from the Nevermore's back. Before she can hit the ground, Jaune rams into her from the side and they both safely land in a tree.

•Blake: "... did your sister just fall from the sky?" "I-"

•Before Yang can finish, Nora rides in on an Ursa with an exhausted Ren behind her. Nora picks up the golden rook and does her queen of the castle thing before Ren shouts at her.

•"... did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" "I-"

•Before Yang can finish, Pyrrha calls out Jaune's name while being chased by the elder Deathstalker grimm that they woke up. The grimm then swats Pyrrha away, and she lands next to the gang.

•"Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail?" (Yang uses her semblance while getting angry, which causes Blake to looked shocked and to take a step back) "I can't take it anymore! Can people stop falling on us for two seconds before another grimm shows up!"

•Two seconds

•The Nevermore carrying Weiss shows up. Weiss decides to let go and falls down. Jaune catches her, realizes he still dosen't have a landing strategy, and they both fall down. Jaune breaks Weiss' fall.

•"Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!" "Not if I can help it!", Ruby says before getting knocked out after trying to 1v1 a Deathstalker (ooh that v5 quote makes me mad).

•Ruby then tries to use her semblance to escape, but the elder Nevermore catches her cape with its feather shot. Weiss then saves her at the last second. They then have their little heart to heart that starts Weiss character arc of becoming nicer.

•Tactics time: Ruby states that their objective is to grab the relics and go to the cliff. However, because the two elder grimm keep chasing them, they most likely will have to fight them anyway. So the plan is to get as close to the cliffs as possible before fighting them so they still have the chance to escape (or hopefully be rescued by Ozpin) when they get beat up by the grimm (emphasis on the fact that the grimm are super old which is why they are so dangerous, by themselves none of these guys could kill them except maybe Weiss if she dumped all of her Dust onto them).

•"Run and try to live - that's an idea I can get behind!"

•EPIC FIGHT SCENE

•RED LIKE ROSES FILLS MY HEAD WITH DREAMS AND IT FINDS ME ALWAYS CLOSER TO THE EMPTYNESS AND SADNESS THAT HAS COME TO TAKE THE PLACE OF YOU (Note: this song is Ruby's real feelings underneath her facade of cheerfulness in this AU).

•New teams ceremony, Cardin and his gang are team CRDL, led by Cardin Winchester (throw in a smug smile on Cardin's face here).

•Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren are team JNPR, led by... Jaune Arc (throw in a surpised pikachu face from Glynda because Ozpin's original plan was to make Pyrrha team leader).

•And finnaly, Blake, Ruby, Weiss, Yang become team RWBY led by Ruby Rose (Weiss still gets pissy, Yang hugs Ruby, Blake has a little smile).

•The Roman scene at the end of the episode is left completely unchanged.

•The end.

#The Badge and the Burden arc

•The girls set up bunkbeds! (Unchanged from vanilla rwby)

•and they + JNPR are still late to class.

•First class: Grimm studies by Prof. Port

•Because today is the first day of class, Port goes over the basics of the Grimm: monsters that supposedly feed off the negative emotions of human beings (he dosen't mention Faunus cuz he's a bitch) by eating them. They infest every corner of the world, but their numbers are greatest towards Iaptus, the land in the west. There is real evidence that grimm can starve to death if they don't eat humans, but otherwise they are immortal and heal from non-lethal injuries which is super bad because they get smarter as they age and new ones keep spawning at consistent rates. It is known that there are billions more grimm than humans... "and Faunus too, I guess." (Blake side eye in the background).

•" Yes, our planet is absolutely teeming with Grimm that would love nothing more than to tear humans to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses...(sexually harasses a 17 year old brown girl) Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what, you ask? Why, the very world!"

•It is an extremely entry level course to the point of being elementry school level. In the background, Weiss and Jaune and Ren are taking as many notes as possible, Blake and Yang and Pyrrha aren't writing anything down because they already know this, Nora is making heart eyes at her boyfriend, and Ruby is goofing off (this is why she didn't get good grades at Signal).

•Port starts going on a vauge, probably sexist and racist rant about a story he made up to make himself look good before asking which among his students is true Huntsman like and Weiss raises her hand.

•When Weiss raises her hand, the shadow people start whispering like "Weiss Schnee's in this class!" "I heard she has a special semblance!" "I WANT HER TO SIGN MY FOREHEAD!!!"

•Port then asks Weiss to step up to the front so she can face her opponent: a caged and very hungry Boarbotusk.

•The fight is the same as before, Ruby gives Weiss good ideas to fight the grimm that Weiss shoots down because she wants to prove herself as a better huntress than Ruby even though she is not team leader. (Note: I don't have a good place to shoehorn this in, but the different colors Weiss' glyphs have are from her combining them with Dust. White = Breeze Dust, Black = Gravity Dust, Blue = Freeze Dust, etc.) Weiss then uses one of Ruby's ideas and kills the grimm. Ruby tries to talk to Weiss, but she pushes her away.

•Plot Twist: it's time for the next class of the day which is sparing by Glynda Goodwitch!

•Glynda admits to her students that there other classes were probably very dull (oh the irony) so instead of boring them with a lecture, she will give anyone willing the chance to blow off some steam.

•Weiss jumps up immediately and volunteers, making an angry face the whole time.

•Glynda accepts and then asks Weiss to either choose a sparing partner or to wait for someone to volunteer. Weiss prepares to point at Ruby... "I volunteer!" (Yang says as she suddenly stands up).

•"Yang, what are you doing?! She's mad at me!" (Ruby pleads to her sister). "I could take her, if you two want me." (Blake offers to Yang while grabbing her weapon). "Thanks Blake, and no. If Weiss wants someone to be mad at so badly, then she can be mad at me. Sit back and watch, sis." (Yang then struts up to the sparing ring). "Oh boy, oh boy!" (Ruby chants underneath her breath). "Don't worry Ruby, your sister can take this." (Blake comforts Ruby while placing a hand on her shoulder.) "What? I'm not worried about Yang, I'm worried about Weiss!"

•(Weiss stares up at Yang) "What are you doing?". "You pick a fight with Ruby, you pick a fight with me! Whatever is happening between you two, it ends here." (Yang tells Weiss as nicely as possible). "If you girls have a dispute," Glynda commands to them, "then settle it in battle! The match begins now!!!"

•First au exclusive fight: Weiss Vs Yang! The fight is mostly a homage to the White trailer, with Yang taking the role of the knight as a big, strong tank that Weiss "dances" around. Unlike the knight grimm, Yang is a lot faster and she's able to dodge, block, and counter attack a lot of Weiss's moves. At the end of the fight, Weiss tries to freeze Yang using Dust, but then Yang activates her semblance to melt the ice and to knock out Weiss.

•After winning, Yang offers Weiss a hand but that's when she realizes that Weiss has been crying. Before she can consult her, Weiss slaps her hand away and runs out the class room, wiping her tears away. Glynda dismisses the class, and then gives everyone an essay homework to write before she walks out the door.

•Cut to Ruby wandering the halls by herself where she encounters Ozpin. They then have the same conversation they had from vanilla rwby.

•After that scene, Weiss is standing by herself at the balcony when Glynda shows up, who was looking for her. Weiss then asks Glynda if she can transfer herself to a different team, seeing that her current team mates "don't like me". Glynda tells Weiss that freshmen huntsman teams not liking each other is common, and if she can't handle that then maybe she should go back to her singing carrer. "I don't want to sing!" (Weiss screams). "Hmm, well maybe you should tell that to your father instead of yelling at me?" (Glynda returns). "Im sorry prof. Glynda. My father... wouldn't listen to me. He dosen't listen to anyone." "And pray tell, miss Schnee, what would your father do in your situation?". "Hehe, he would demand to the next teacher he could find to switch teams immediately and... oh no." "I see you finnaly realized your error, miss Schnee. Now, if you hurry along there is still time to fix it." (Weiss gets ready to leave, but then turns back.) "Thank you, prof. Glynda."

•The ending is the vanilla rwby scene where Weiss and Ruby bond again, but this time with scenes of Yang and Blake still awake and listening to the conversation. Yang smiles when the two girls make up, but the last shot of the arc is of Blake's neutral expression turning into a face of raw spite as she gazes at Weiss.

•The end?

#Jaunedice arc

•The arc begins with an extended version of the fight between Cardin Vs Jaune that starts from the very begining. Cardin charges Jaune who can barely react in time to use his shield. The inital strike creates a small explosion from the Lava Dust crystal in Cardin's mace. Then the camera changes to Jaune's perspective, where Cardin's face is a distored image that looks like grotesque human face grining evily at Jaune. Cardin then repeatedly pounds Jaune into submission, the blonde becoming more scared with each firey blow. Within seconds, Cardin hammers away at Jaune's high Aura and his final hit has enough force that it causes Jaune to roll backwards while letting go of his shield. (Like Tokoyami vs Yaoyorozu but more aggressive, zero moments to breath)

•When the match is finished, Cardin moves to strike again but Glynda uses her semblance to restrain him at the last minuet. She then gives him and his team two hours of detention for attempting to break her rules. This causes Cardin to glare at Jaune, who flinches, before walking back to his team who groan at him returning.

•Glynda then anounces the Vytal festival + tournament that will be coming soon which excites all the students.

•cut to the lunch table scene: Ruby (& an unenthusiastic Weiss) and Pyrrha are sitting next to Jaune who are sitting across from Ren & Nora. Blake sits at the very edge of the table far away everyone else, and Yang sits next to her. (There is the vibe that team JNPR are only friends with Ruby, while Blake is annoyed by them.)

•Nora is telling everyone about a crazy dream she had when Pyrrha tries to bring up the subject of Cardin to Jaune. This puts all eyes (even Blake's) onto him. Jaune tries to deflect, he says his fight was a fluke and he suggests that Cardin must have some type of semblance that scares people and he used that to win. "Really Jaune? A semblance that scares people?" Weiss sarcastically asks. "Yes!!! I could totally feel it over me with my fourth eye or something!!!" "It's third eye, Jaune." Ren sardonically corrects him.

•Ruby then tells Jaune that this isn't just about their sparring match, for the last week Cardin has been bullying Jaune and so far none of the teachers will do anything about it because he's the son a celebrity council member. "Ugh, I hate people that use their parent's fame and fortune as their own personal shield! Good thing none of us are like that, right guys!" Weiss tells the group (Blake side eye. Bombastic Blake side eye.)

•Pyrrha then tells Jaune that if he ever needs help, he can just ask his friends. "Ooh, I know a guy who knows a couple of guys and we could all get togather to break his legs in dark alley in Patch! No one would find out too!!!" Nora offers. "...thanks, Nora? But guys, really, it's fine! Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me; he's a jerk to everyone!"

•This is when the gang overhears Cardin and his team bullying Velvet. The upperclassmen has the same look of fear on her face that Jaune had when he spared with Cardin. He is pulling on her rabbit ears harshly while the rest of his team laughs at her and calls her 'grimmspawn'. "Atrocious. I can't stand people like him." Pyrrha states coldly. "He's not the only one..." Blake says while staring daggers at him. "It must be hard to be a Faunus." Yang sadly states.

•Cardin then yanks Velvet's ear again, causing Blake to stand up and begin marching towards him. "Blake stop, you're just going to get in trouble!" Yang pleads to her, but it falls on deaf ears. As Blake coldly marches towards Cardin, all of the shadow people's heads turn towards her.

•"eh?" Cardin turns towards Blake, his hand still gripping Velvet's ear. "What do you want??" Without saying a word, Blake spits in his eye. "AHHH, YOU BITCH!" Cardin screams at Blake, jumping from his seat while letting go of Velvet. The faunus runs towards Blake's side, unable to stand properly from fear.

•Team CRDL surround the two girls. Yang dashes from her seat, but before she can reach Blake-

•"What is going on here?!" Glynda shouts as she marches into the scene. "THIS BII-Er girl spat into my eye!!!" Cardin screams at her. "Miss Belladonna, is this true?" Blake then stares into Glynda's eyes, "I'd do it again." This enrages Glynda. "Prof. Glynda please, Blake didn't start this!" Yang pleads to the teacher. "No excuses Xiao Long!" "She's right!" Ruby says after appearing behind Blake. That's when she realizes that Pyrrha, Nora, Ren, and all of team rwby are by her side. "Prof. Glynda, Blake saw Winchester harassing this girl for being a faunus and acted to defend her. If she deserves to be punished for that, then we all do because we made Blake feel that she had to confront Cardin alone." Weiss argues. Blake's eyes widen as she realizes that humans are defending her.

•"Miss Scaletina, are these claims correct? And I can tell if you are lying." Velvet looks at Blake and smiles, her look of fear completely gone. "Yes, prof Glynda. As an upperclassmen, I should have acted to defend myself sooner, but I was scared. If anyone deserves to be punished, it should be me." Glynda then shakes her head no, and looks at Cardin and his team. "Team CRDL, your two hours detention has been extended to two months and you all are no longer allowed to eat in the cafetaria! 25 years ago, your headmaster helped passed the law that ended anti-faunus segregation and hate crimes, and I will enforce them." Glynda then gets close to Cardin's ear and whispers "And calling your daddy won't make a diference, little boy... he's scared of me too."

•Glynda then escorts team CRDL out of the cafeteria, leaving an awestruck Blake and her friends standing in the middle of a hurricane of rumors and whispers. While Weiss and Pyrrha are both admired, team CRDL are the most popular students at Beacon and being the first ones to take them down has put RBYNR on the social map, whenever they like it or not. As the kids react to the news, Pyrrha finnaly realizes that Jaune is no where to be seen, which is when the camera then pans over to a cowering Jaune just outside the cafeteria doors.

•The next scene is on the roof top of the school at night, where Jaune is standing alone. Pyrrha then appears, saying she was looking all over for Jaune and that he dosen't have to be afraid of Cardin anymore. Jaune says that he knows, and right now he just wants to be left alone. Pyrrha then asks Jaune why did he leave in the first place, which makes Jaune snap at her. He says he isn't "brave, or strong" like her or Ruby. He dosen't have a legacy to live up to like Weiss, and he isn't a natural warrior like Blake or Ren. "I'm nothing." "That's not true Jaune! You-" "Pyrrha the only reason I'm even here is because I cheated my way in!" "... what?" "I trained with my dad for years and I never got better. I took every huntsman exam I could find, and I failed. Even now, I study harder than you and I only get Cs! I... just leave me alone."

•After a few seconds, Pyrrha sorrowfully relents and leaves.

•"I heard everything." An invisible voice calls out to Jaune. Suddenly, Ren materializes from behind him. "It all makes sense now... your lack of skill with your weapons, your lack of a semblance, you cheated your way into Beacon and now your reaping the rewards as our team leader." "Ren I-" "If you don't want me to contact our professors right now and have you expelled, then you will hold your tongue. Tomorrow, you will do exactly as I say if you actually want to be a huntsman. By then, I will have figured out what to do with you..." Ren then turns his back to Jaune, and disappears into darkness, leaving behind a heartbroken Jaune as he collapses to the floor.

•The next scene begins in the Forever Fall forest. Ruby tells her team that it's cool that the teachers at Beacon let them do field assignments with no supervision. The rest of team Rwby then trail behind her as the exit the scene, revealing a solemn NPR standing behind them. "You're being irrational!" an irritated Pyrrha tells Ren. "I'm the only one here that's considering the rational option. Nora and I shouldn't have to find out from spying that our team leader is a fraud." Nora, standing between them, says "Well, Nora thinks that we all had a looong day yesterday so maybe we should all calm down and-"

•Jaune then enters the scene.

•"You don't have to do this Jaune-" "Yes I do Pyrrha. Ren's right, it's not fair that he got into Beacon fair and square while I cheated my way in." Jaune then looks Ren in the eye. "Whatever challenge you have for me, I'm ready." "So it's decided. Your challenge, Jaune Arc, will be a trail by fire. You must defeat me in combat!" Ren then takes his battle stance (but curiously dosen't have his weapons).

•"Uhh, actually I was hoping that maybe you would forgive me if I admitted you were right and-" before Jaune finishes his sentance, Ren palm strikes his chest with enough force to send him flying into a tree. "That was the Force palm technique, Jaune. I trained with the monks of Mistral until I mastered every single Aura technique there was to learn. What have you mastered?"

•The rest of the fight is basically the same as that; Ren ragdolls Jaune while introducing a new Aura technique to the audience (Forcefield technique to block Jaune's sword, Shadow Clone technique to confuse Jaune, Third Eye technique when Jaune throws sand into Ren's eyes) while Jaune only survives because he has a mountain of Aura.

•Team RWBY eventually take notice and rush towards the scene. "Oh no! Whats happening, why is Ren fighting Jaune!!!" Ruby asks Nora. "Oh, Jaune cheated his way into Beacon, which is super illegal by the way, so now my bestest boyfriend for life wants Jaune to beat him in a sparing match to prove he's good enough to be our team leader which me and Pyrrha think is kinda ridiculous but, boys will be boys!" "Oh n- wait what?!" Weiss then pops up, "Jaune cheated his way into Beacon? I thought you had to be smart in order to do that."

•Ren finnaly starts to get exhausted from spamming his Aura techniques (hyperventalating), and he asks Jaune how he's able to keep up being constantly attacked. Jaune then looks up and grins, "Aha, this was my stratagy all along Ren! I knew that you had the lowest AP levels on our team so instead of fighting you, I let you waste your Aura reserves!" "... that... is actually a good plan. You have what it takes to be a huntsman in training." "So does that mean you'll stop beating me!!!" "No!"

•Ren then prepares his next attack, using so much of his Aura shield shifts into his righ hand. Jaune readies his shield. Before Ren can strike, an elder Ursa pops out of the bush behinds him and fells him in one blow.

•"REN!!!" Jaune screams. Nora immediately pounces on the grimm while the rest of the gang engages it. Jaune rushes to Ren's side. "Ren, talk to me!" Ren barely groans at him. Jaune flips Ren over and discovers he has three deep slashs on his back. "No no no, this wasn't supposed to happen!"

•"At last you understand..." a mysterious voice whispers to Jaune, "... what it means to be a huntsman. It was never about defeating darkness, but defending the light. Young man, will you allow your comrad to have his light stolen on this meaningless day? Or will you save him so he can face his destiny? Awaken the light within you, descendant of King Charles of Vale!

•Jaune's eyes then glow a pure golden color as his body is surrounded in the shimmering light of his Aura. As Jaune touches Ren, his Aura regenerates itself completely and heals his wounds.

•Just as Nora finishes pounding the elder Ursa into nothingness is when the rest of the gang realizes that Jaune is glowing. Then he stops and helps Ren to his feet.

•"You, unlocked your semblance?" Ren askes. Jaune nods his head. "... the trial is over. I am honored to have you as our team leader, Jaune." "Thanks Ren... and uhh, guys is it normal to hear voices when you get your semblance, or..."

•"Hear voices, what are you talking about?" Ruby asks Jaune. The rest of the gang is similary confused. "Oh well, guess I'm crazy." Jaune sarcastically says and the rest of the group laughs.

•As the camera zooms out, it changes to a screen on a computer that Ozpin is watching intently.

•The End.

#Black and White arc

•The beggining of the arc is almost entirely the same: team RWBY are following an excited Weiss down the streets of Vale when they happen upon a crime scene. The two detectives investigating wonder aloud if the Dust robbery was by the White Fang, which prompts Weiss to call them "an awful bunch of degenerates!". This prompts Blake to shoot back at her, which Weiss is confused by because she can't fathom why anyone would defend them. Small change, when Weiss accuses the WF of wanting to Genocide Humanity, Blake directly tells her they don't.

•Ruby then changes the subject and suggests that "that crook I tried to bust before I got into Beacon" (Roman Torchwick) is most likely behind the robbery since it matches his last crime perfectly. "That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang are a bunch of scum. (to Blake's growing anger) Faunus like them give good ones like Velvet a bad name. In fact, they push Faunus rights back decades!" Yang then tries to interject but-

•MY SUNSHINNNNE- ahem, the gang overhears a group of sailors chasing after a stowaway monkey Faunus. The Detectives then give chase, which causes the stray to sprint away at full speed. As he passes team RWBY, he looks Blake in the eyes and winks at her mischiveously, which causes Blake to blush.

•"Quick! He's our only lead on the robbery, we have to catch him!" Weiss states as she practically drags her team with her as she chases the stray. When they turn the corner, she realizes that he's completely out of sight. "No, he got away!" "Uhh... Weiss?" (Yang points strangely at the girl underneath her teammate)

•Penny time! Again, her introduction is pretty much one to one with vanilla rwby.

•And then argument time. Again, basically the same, but Weiss says she is Blake's friend instead of just her teammate.

•This is not a change, but during the transition between the street and Vale the implication is that Weiss and Blake had been arguing all day.

•" I don't understand why this is causing such a problem!" "That is the problem!" "You realize you are defending an organization that hates Humanity, don't you? The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil!" "There's no such thing as pure evil! Why do you think they hate Humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin, people like you, that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!" "People like me?" "You're discriminatory!"

•"I'm a victim!" (Silence as the two girls stare at each other. Ruby and Yang both stand in the middle, unsure of what to do.) "You want to know why I despise the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust some Faunus? It's because they've been at war with my family for years. War, as in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I've watched family friends disappear; board members executed; an entire train car full of Dust, stolen. And every day, my father would come home, furious. And that made for a very difficult childhood." Ruby then interjects "Weiss, she di-"

•"No!" Weiss thenturns away and walks back over to Blake "You want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they're a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!" "Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!" Blake backhand slaps Weiss hard enough to knock her onto the floor. Silence drops down on the scene again. Ruby and Yang both stare at Blake with heartbroken faces. "I... I..." Blake dashes out the door.

•Blake runs until she's at the statue Beacon's courtyard. She then unties her bow, revealing her cat ears.

•"I knew you would look better without the bow." Blake then looks up an sees Sun hanging off the statue.

•The next day, RWY are in Beacon's courtyard looking for signs of Blake. "Blake's a Fang assassin, what we should be doing is alert headmaster Ozpin." "Weiss, come on. She's one of our friends." "Is she? We all heard what she said!" "Weiss." Ruby sternly looks at her. Yang then starts up again "Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. Either way, she's missing, and we need to find her!" Weiss then mutters underneath her breath, "An assassin set to kill me, right underneath our noses..." Ruby then talks to herself, praying to the God of Light that Blake is ok.

•The scene then changes to Blake and Sun sitting outside a teashop, Blake asking Sun if he wanted to know more about her and Sun nods.

•"Sun... Are you familiar with the White Fang?" "Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!" "I'm the daughter of the White Fang's founder, Ghira Bête."

•Sun then spits out his tea. "Wait a minute, you're Blake Bête?!"

•"That's right. The so called princess of the White Fang is me. Once upon a time, I used to live life like a princess too... Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus. Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist. Then, five years ago, my father was assassinated. Right at one of his rallies. I had the front row seat. That... broke us. Our new leader, my foster mother Sienna Khan, didn't want peace or unity. She wanted respect, and she wanted revenge. I wanted revenge too, at the time. She helped me find the men that murdered my father, and I ended them. I thought that with the heads of Natural Order finally gone, the Fang would go back to normal. I was wrong. So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am: a fugitive hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow."

•Sun then asks if Blake has told any of this to her friends, and she lowers her head.

•cut back to Ruby, Weiss, and Yang serching the streets for Blake. Dialouge is completely unchanged. The girls then run into Penny again. Again, dialouge is the same but "teammate" is replaced with "friend".

•cut back to Blake and Sun. Blake affirms that the White Fang most likely are not behind the Dust robberies. Sun then uses his junior detective skills to deduce that the the only way to prove that the Fang are innocent is to go where they might be and not find them their. He then drops that a Schnee Dust shipment is coming at the docks, so Blake decides they should do a stake-out.

•Yang comes out of a shop with Weiss, waving to the person inside, "Thanks anyways! This is hopeless." She then looks at Weiss, who is looking around nonchalantly, "And you're the reason she left and you don't even care! What's wrong with you!" "Me?" "Yes, you! First you picked a fight with my little sister, and now you pushed Blake away! And just when I thought you were becoming nicer!!" Yang then marches off in a huff, leaving Weiss to alone to think.

•Ruby and Penny then have their little convo about Blake.

•Blake is hiding on a roof top when Sun suddenly jumps up. He then presents her some stolen food, since she has been up there for hours. "Do you always break the law without giving a second thought?" "Hey, weren't you a terrorist of something?" (Blake angry face) "Ok, too soon!"

•Just then, a bullhead airship lands and White Fang members walk out. Blake is saddened. Then-

•"Hey! What's the holdup!? We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you grimmspawn try to pick up the pace?" Roman Torchwick then walks out the Bullhead, hurling slurs at Fang soldiers while they grin and bear it.

•Blake can't stand the sight of it.

•"Hey, what are you-" before Sun can finish, Blake jumps down from the rooftop, rolls, and apprehends Torchwick as fast as possible. She then demands to know why the Fang are aiding a racist scum bag like Torchwick, and he enlightens her that "we're on a joint buisness venture!" Torchwick then blasts the ground under his feet, dazing Blake.

•BLAKE AND SUN VS ROMAN TORCHWICK

•GUN-CHUCKS!!!

•Ruby then finnaly arrives on the scene, knocking out a few White Fang soldiers before being blasted by Torchwick.

•P.E.N.N.Y. IS COMBAT READY!!!!!!!!!!

•Roman is eventually forced to flee. Yang and Weiss finnaly come, along with the local police.

•"Look Weiss, it's not what you think, she explained the whole thing. See, she doesn't actually have a bow, she has kitty ears and they're actually kind of cute..." Weiss ignores her and squares off with Blake. She calmly looks her down, "Weiss, I want you to know that I'm sorry for hurting you. Back when I was with the-" "Stop! Do you have any idea of how long we've been searching for you? Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in that twelve hours, I've decided... I don't care."

•"You don't care?"

•"You're not one of them anymore, right?"

•"No, I-I haven't been in a while but Weiss my-"

•"Ah-bahp-bahp-bahp! I don't want to hear it. All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up... you'll come to your teammates. And not some... Someone else."

•Blake wipes tears from her eyes as she says "Of course." "Yeah! Team RWBY is back together!" Ruby cheers! Weiss then points a finger at Sun "I'm still not quite sure about how I feel about you!" Sun the looks back to Blake, "Your teammate is Weiss Schnee!!!" and he collapses.

•"He-Hey, wait a minute... Where's Penny?y, wait a minute... Where's Penny?" The camera then pans to black car with Penny in the back. She is being repremanded compromising herself, to which she apolgizes. The figure then places a comforting, white gloved hand Penny's shoulder.

•Cut to Ozpin, who is in his control room (the same room he was in during the Jaundice arc) watching the fight on one of his security cameras. He then gets a notification on his scroll from Qrow and pulls it out. The message is entirely emojis (something like 🐈‍⬛🟰👸🏻), but Ozpin understands that it means Blake Belladonna was Blake Bête the whole time. Ozpin shifts his glasses in response.

•After credits scene: Roman's bullhead flies over a grimm infested forest and lands in an abandoned building in mountain Glenn. As he gets off the ship, he is greeted by slow clapping from a mysterious woman standing behind a corner. "Bravo, Roman. Your little fiasco has angered my friend, Corsac Albain. We expected... more, from you." "Hey! You were the ones who suggested working with those stupid mutts!"

•The woman in red then lights a fire in her hands, revealing herself as Cinder Fall. Behind her are Mercury and Emerald... and a very large Beowolf nuzzling itself against Cinder.

•"And you will continue to do so. We have big plans for you, Roman. All we ask is... a little cooperation." The Beowolf nuzzling Cinder then begins to howl as the scene fades to black. Ending the season.

[yandere-writer-momo]

Hello! I hope your doing good today 💕

Can I get some headcanons on a famous Celebrity S/O? (Singer, model, etc) I wanna know if baki men treat the s/o differently 🫣🧐

Interesting because I was debating making a short story if Hanayama falling for a singer. I’m picking Hanayama, Jack, and Retsu for this one since I did one for Katsumi awhile ago

Yandere Baki Head Canons

Singer female S/O

Hanayama Kaoru

He was dragged by his henchmen out to a swanky club that had performers. It wasn’t a place that was really his cup of tea

But then you stepped on the stage. His eyes widening at the beautiful dress that made you look like a beautiful present. It was a very classy dress that hug your figure, the yakuza boss itching to pry it off your body. At first he was just physically attracted to you but then you opened your mouth

You had the voice of an angel. Your siren song was so captivating, he was at full attention. It felt as if it was just you and him in the club and no one else. He was upset when your song ended. He wanted to hear more

He pays the club owner a large sum for you to sing privately for him. It felt as if he was purchasing a beautiful song bird for his own pleasure. It’s what he began to call you. His song bird

Hanayama frequented the club a lot and always paid you handsomely for your time and sessions. Until he was the only one listening to your music. It was then that he sunk his fangs in

He wanted to hire you as his personal entertainment. You reluctantly accepted since he was such a powerful man and you were nothing more than a lounge singer. It’s a mistake you regret

You’re decorated in the finest jewels and clothing, fed the most exquisite meals, and he begins to advance on you sexually as well. It’s a really cushy life but you wish to sing for the masses. You love to sing

It wouldn’t take long for him to clip your wings so you can’t fly away. He keeps you locked in his room now since you brought up your desire to go back to the club to sing. Hanayama is never going to let you go. He bought you, you’re his

Jack Hanma

You were a street singer with lovely vocals he passed by a lot when he was younger. He always stopped to listen whenever he had time

You two had a young love, it was a perfect love looking back in it. You constantly tried to get him to rest and eat instead of over train and he had screamed at you… you left that day and never looked back. It was the second worse day of his life. He was so lost without you. There was no more love in his life and no more softly sung lullabies

Years went by and he began seeing your face on billboards everywhere. You were performing in Japan while he was there fighting, must’ve been fate

You two ran into each other and you completely ignored him. He never felt so small in his life. He decided to watch you sing just like he used to. Your voice was even better… he missed you so much throughout the years you’ve been apart

He’s surprised when you approach him after your performance and you ask how he’s been. You tell him you didn’t recognize him at first and you hadn’t meant to ignore him. You hug him and he melts

You two catch up with one another and reconcile your relationship. You write songs about him and he listens to them first. He loves it

It isn’t long until his face is in the tabloids along with yours. The public thinks you two are odd together and some even try to spread malicious rumors about you. He squashes them though (literally)

You have a public interview about your relationship and a crazed fan loses it

It’s when the obsessive stalker tries to harm you that sets him off. Thank goodness he was there to protect you! He didn’t even want to think about it…

That’s when he whisks you away from your glamorous life to a simple one with him. It’s safer this way… he just doesn’t understand why you won’t sing or speak to him anymore? You’re safe now

Kaioh Retsu

You’re a singer in a tea house he frequents. He loves your vocals. You have such a soothing voice and you’re beautiful like a butterfly… while he is like a spider

You two eventually speak to each other when he’s the only one in the tea house. You’re very soft spoken and polite. You two begin a friendship

It isn’t long until he begins to see you romantically. He decides to start bringing you flowers to show you his favor. You’re so sweet to him and he doesn’t want to share

You accept him and it’s over from there. He becomes a big part of your life and it isn’t long until you move in together. Nor is it long for the manipulation and isolation to set in

He even is able to get your gig at the tea hide taken away. But you don’t need to know it was him

You notice you’re drifting away from everyone else too late. You are caught in his web and he isn’t ever going to let you go. He’s able to convince you he’s all you need

Retsu starts singing with you whenever you are. His voice is enchanting… it blends well with yours

[blade-is-my-hubby]

Just one fic that popped out of my mind. Idk if people still search for Blade. But I’ll post these fics. For sure.

Heat

Blade x Reader

Warnings: sex pollen, smut, p in v sex, doggy style, fingering

Summary: takes place during Blade II in the club scene, but instead of killing off Priest, one of the reapers give off a pollen, which cause the reader to have an extreme lust. Which only Blade can help.

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

As the night flew by, Blade and the group of vampires went to investigate the night club, where they think Jared is.

“Be safe now (y/n).” Tapped your shoulder Blade and looked into your eyes, waiting for an answer. You just nodded and proceeded to enter the club. You first met him when you were chased down by Frost’s henchmen. You were bleeding out, fangs pierced into your neck, it drank from you, like a starving little shit he was. That’s when Blade stepped in front of you and killed it with one swift motion. You were scared, didn’t even know what happened, but something flashed in his eyes, and was unable to kill you. So he grabbed you in his arms, put you into the car and drove off to the headquarters. Of course Whistler was angry with him.

“Are you really out of your mind Blade? What makes you think that this woman’ll be alive tomorrow? Even if we give her the antidote…”

“Hm.. I know.”

“You know, you know.. it’s not enough.”

“Let her rest old man.” This was the conversation about you. And Whistler were surprised that you actually survived the night, after that you became a hunter too. Blade taught you everything you needed to know. And of course he stole your heart too. But you knew that he’d never see you the same way, so you just kinda left it be. The trainings were hard, but you all ways managed to beat your own boundaries. After he defeated Frost, you went with Blade, to search for Whistler. You were a little jelly about how that woman give her blood to Blade, but it was nothing more between them.

But back to the club. The group went their own ways, so you just went to straight to the bar and sat on one chair. You spotted Blade, and he was majestic. The club’s lights gave him more confidence, even if he was a daywalker, he liked the darkness of the night. Suddenly Priest grabbed onto your shoulder and it scared the shit outta you.

“Fuck.. don’t do that!”

“Sorry sweetheart, you were sitting here alone.”

“I’m not alone.”

“Yeah, Blade always watching ya. You know? Like he’s a predator who wants to catch its prey.” He winked and you just blushed.

“Bullshit.”

“Don’t tell me that…. You have a cruuuuuush~.”

“I don’t have alright? Just buy me a drink Priest or go away.” He smiled and waved at the bartender.

‘No alcohol while we’re hunting (Y/n).’ You heard Blade’s voice from the earpiece.

“Fine, whatever dad.”

“Uuuhh… grumpy old daywalker tells you what to do? Are you this good (y/n)? Likes to be one?”

“Priest please… I..” suddenly Blade showed you behind his back and calmly, almost ice coldly scolded Priest.

“Stop bothering her, she’s mine, understood?” It made you blush, him? Saying that you’re his?

“Woah… woah, sorry bud, I’ll get to my position.”

“Good. If I see you around her again, I’ll kill you.”

“Understood.” You gave Priest and apologetic look and he just nodded and left, he went back to Chupa. Blade turned around and folded his arms in front of his chest and looked down at you.

“You should be more careful. The motherfuckers when they have the opportunity will kill me and you too. And what you’re doing? Flirt with the enemy.”

“Blade… I’m not „flirting“ I’m doing my job. The other hand he came to me. And what is this all „she’s mine“ bullshit? Like you actually care.”

‘Blade, Nyssa went to investigate. She said the she saw Jared.’

‘Okay, I’ll find her.’

��Of course. Go. Do your job or whatever..”

“I know you don’t like this.”

“Don’t like…… you know what I’ll go and look around, you go and find your princess.” You did not wait what he would say and left him. He was stunned.

“Are you really this jealous? Hmm..” he said mainly to himself and chuckled. You were pressing through the bodies of the vampires and that’s when you spotted one reaper and pointed your gun at him but when you blinked once it disappeared.

‘Be careful guys. I saw one reaper near the bar. Over.’

‘Thanks baby girl.’ It was Chupa

‘Focus on the task Vampire.’ You heard Blade’s voice from the earpiece.

‘Fine. We all know she’s your little blood bag.’

‘*growl*’ what the hell, you never heard Blade growl before. If the scene was not this, you’d come to his voice.

‘Blade please, don’t make things worse.’

‘Fine, I’m off of the earpiece. Over.’

That son of a bitch just turned off the connection. You were never hunting without him. Anxiety went through your veins as you spotted the reaper again. Suddenly you felt a a push and you went through the bar, arrived with a thud. You heard someone yelling, cursing but your ears ringed. You felt blood fell down from your head to the floor and you saw the reaper again, but this time it was in front of you and grabbed you by the collar and lifted you up. It has one purpose, to kill you.

“You ugly motherfucker.” You said and wanted to grab your pistol, but the reaper threw you again and when you collided with the floor it was on you. It pinned down your arms and sat on your thighs, so there was no escape. You closed your eyes, but heard a gunshot right after and you felt in your nostril that you smelled something, and it made you cough.

“Get off of her you fucker.” Priest aimed the gun at him and shot him on his back and just went away leaving you there. Priest rushed to your side and helped you to stand up.

“You alright?”

“Yes. Thanks.” Your legs became wobbly and fell to your knees. Your head was spinning.

‘Blade, come now. A reaper attacked (Y/n). She’s unwell. Over.’

“He does….not care anyway. Auch…” you then felt a pair of arms lifting you up bridal style and you automatically wrapped your hand around his neck, cause you knew that it was Him.

“You’re in trouble.”

“I know, just ahh… please, it hurts.”

“What happened?” Asked Nyssa and glanced over to you.

“A reaper attacked her, and when I shot it, it left some kind of mist before it disappeared.”

“Pollen.”

“What kind?” Blade asked

“Sex.” Nyssa simply said and your eyes widened, and looked up at Blade. He was already looking at you, your whole body heated up at his presence, he smelled amazing, it filled your nostrils very fast. The only thing you could think about is him, his cock slamming into you. You bit your bottom lip and felt that feeling again.

“It has to wear off in a couple of hours.”

“What’ll happen to her?” Blade asked again and never looked at Nyssa, but only you.

“She’ll have the symptoms of an animal in heat. As I heard. I’ve never met a reaper that give off this pollen. I guess you’ll have to restrain her for her own good.”

“Uhhh… sounds exciting.

“Another word and I’ll gut you motherfucka.”

“Alright sorry. Chill.” Reinhardt simply said and did not paid attention anymore. He did not want to mess with Blade.

“We need to get her back to the headquarters. We’ll provide her a room there, so she can rest and go through the process.” Nyssa assured Blade and he did not tell a word just followed the crew.

“Don’t worry (Y/n). Everything’ll be fine.” He whispered into your ear and a moan left your mouth which made you embarrassed. Blade did not move a muscle on his face, but he cannot deny his growing desire for you. The ride become more and more unbearable, your body now heated up, pussy leaking with your juices, your pussy were pulsating, waiting for someone’s cock to fill it up. But you knew that nobody’ll take you. So many scenarios went through your mind about what he’d do to you. You were in his arms bridal style. He refused to let go of you. Cause he knew how vampires were.

“I…It hurts.” You repeated over and over again, and Blade tried to calm you down, which was helping but your desire and the warm feeling in your hole was unbearable.

“Bite into my shoulder.”

“What?”

“Bite into my shoulder. I hope it helps to cope with the pain.” He did not look at you but you just did what he said but you couldn’t access to it cause of him vest and you bit into his neck instead. Oh and it stirred something in him. A little growl left his mouth and you were pretty sure that you drew blood. You tasted it, it was sweet.

“(Y/n).”

“M’sorry.”

“It’s okay. We’re here now. I’ll carry you.” Blade hold onto you and carried you into the building Nyssa was taking to his father and shortly after that she said to you two to follow her. Soon she stepped in front of a door and opened it. There was a king sized bed in the middle of the room. Like it was for a rather dirty purpose.

“There it is. She’ll need her rest, cause it’ll take all of her strength. I’ll leave you two alone.” Nyssa was out of the room and it was only the two of you. He placed you down onto the bed and you hissed by the coldness of the covers.

“You’ll get through this (y/n). And I’m sorry.”

“For what?” He just got onto the bed and sat on your body. He grabbed onto your hand and moved it up. Your breathing was raggedy, you almost choked on your own saliva. He looked so hot. Just when your lips would met, you heard a clicking noise and your hands were cuffed to the end of the bed. You tried to free yourself but he held them down again, with more force than before.

“Listen to me (y/n). I don’t care how long it takes so listen. You will get through this. You are strong, even if you have to prove yourself day by day.”

“Blade…. Please..”

“I’ll leave now. It would be dangerous for me to be here.” He said nothing after, just went off the bed and stepped to the door.

“Why?”

“I may not be able to stop myself.” Blade left you all alone, the problem is you’re still in ‘heat’ as Nyssa preferred to name it. Why did he mean by that? Stop himself? You cannot help but think about him again. His mouth, his body, his cock. You seen it before, well only the outline of it, when he injected the serum into his veins. Maybe it was because of the restraints. And his fangs…. Oh how many nights you imagined that he bites you while he fucks you like an animal. Some time later you managed to free your right hand from the cuff and immediately took off your jeans, along with your panties which were soaked with your juices. Your fingers immediately found you clit and started to massage it with you finger. A loud moan erupted from your throat as you started to pleasure yourself.

The group were not that far from you, so Priest was the first to speak.

“Looks like someone’s having fun.” The others laughed with him, but Blade just growled at them.

“C’mon Blade we just messing with you.” Reinhardt just shrugged his shoulders.

“If you’re so full with yourself, why don’t you ”help her out“?”

“Since when it’s your fucking business?” Blade was now over with their bullshit. He’s even mad that they hear you moan, that they hear how you pleasure yourself. And that’s when he heard something, something you moaned so loud.

“See I knew she’s simping over the daywalker.” Priest was smiling.

“Shut the hell up you dickhead or I swear that you’ll be dead in a second.” Blade grabbed Priest by his collar and pressed him up a wall.

“Okay-okay. I’ll stop.”

“You better.” Blade let that vampire down and walked off. Your moaning was louder as he slowly approached the door to your room and stopped there. Listening to you moans and whines as you pleasured yourself.

“Ahh… shit. Hmm…..yesss.” You bit your bottom lip and you were sure that it draw blood from it, which Blade easily sniffed from the air. And that’s when he forget that he did not get his serum with him. He wanted nothing more but to fuck you while he’s sucking your sweet blood.

“Ahh.. B.. Blade.” His eyes became more dark with lust, his cock was almost fully heard from your moans so he knew that it’s his opportunity to make you feel good. He grabbed the handle of the door and silently opened it and stepped into without looking up and after he closed it and turned to look at you, his mouth watered at the sight of you. Legs spread, fingers in your pussy which was leaking your juices.

“Well….Well..Well.” You shoot your head up at his voice and looked at him. He still had his sunglasses on, but you knew that he looked into your eyes.

“B..Blade? I…”

“You don’t have to explain yourself (Y/n).”

“Don’t I?”

“No.” That’s when he put his sword to the ground and got his coat off and tossed it onto the floor. Then his best followed and he was in his red long sleeved undershirt, his muscles outlined perfectly. He put his hands on his hips and just stared at you, your body. You blushed and looked away quickly.

“Look at me (Y/n).”

“N..No.”

“Look at me if I speak to you (Y/n).” You immediately looked T him and he just smiled which was weird cause you never saw him smile before.

“Good. Good girl.” He slowly stepped closer to your body and he was on your right. And you knew that your head looked like a beetroot.

“Blade.. I..” he shushed you and placed his finger onto your lips.

“As I said before, I may not able to stop myself.”

“I don’t want you to……”

“You don’t know what you’re saying. Your head is filled with lust, that pollen, it made you lose your mind. But don’t worry. I’m here. We’ll get through this together. Even if I have to fuck you until you can’t walk straight.” You whined at his words cause that’s what you want. Him to fuck you. He grabbed the hem of his shirt and peeled off of his skin and tossed it to the clothes. You licked your lips as your eyes roamed at his naked torso. And as you headed south with your eyes your mouth dropped open. His cock was painfully hard in his pants.

“You like what you see, huhh?”

“Yes Blade.” He grabbed onto your hair and pulled your head near his crotch and pressed it to your cheek, his cock twitched at the contact. A low groan left him mouth and moved his hips back and forth to create friction. His grip on your hair tightened.

“Will you be good and do what I tell you?” He asked in a husky voice and your vision was clouded by lust itself.

“Yes.” He smiled smugly and let go of your hair to pop his jeans open and pulled his pants and boxers down leaving him naked, cock standing proudly. Your mouth watered at his sight.

“Then be a good girl and suck.” Blade slowly moved his cock to your mouth and when you opened it, he grabbed your hair again and with one swift motion entered your mouth and it went straight down on your throat. Your gag reflex was nowhere to be seen. Animalistic groans left his mouth, along with lustful moans as he slowly moved his his hips to fuck your mouth.

“Look how good you look. Cock stuffed into your mouth. Tell me how long…. How long do you want this.” Blade moved his hips back and his cock was out of your mouth so you could take a breath.

“Since I saw you. But I…”

“You thought that i don’t feel the same way about you huhh? Wrong.” He entered your mouth again and started his rapid and deep moves in your mouth again.

“I heard you.” You just hummed and it sent shivers down his spine as it vibrates on his cock. “Almost all night you pleasured yourself.” A moan left your mouth as you felt fingers on your pussy, his fingers worked on your folds and slowly proceeded to your clit, circling it slowly. You grabbed onto his hand with your free one and squeezed it.

“Your moans. Your screams as you came, calling my name. I knew I have to have you. And now look at us. Finally together in the heat of passion.” Blade circled your opening and entered your hole with one finger at first but then he added another one and started to pump it in and out.

“How many night I have imagined this. You. Under my mercy.” He stepped back and you could take a breath again, but his fingers never stopped.

“Blade…”

“I cannot wait to taste you.” And you fell apart instantly, you moaned his name out so loud that even the vampires was jealous of you, not to mention Nyssa.

“Hmm…”

“Blade please I need you.”

“In time. As I said I have to taste you first. I won’t promise that I won’t bite you.” He smiled smugly and pressed his lips to yours in a quick kiss and went to the foot of the bed and stood there for a minute, eyeing your body up and down.

“Please… don’t stare.” You hide your face with your free hand.

“Am I not allowed to see what’s mine?”

“Yours?”

“Yes.” You blushed and dared to look at him. He was panting, chest rising and falling when he inhales, he’s sweating now. His eyes were blown with lust, and his cock was hot and ready for you.

“Fuck..” you panted and another heatwave went through your body. Your legs were spread wide and Blade was between your legs, kissing your inner thighs, sucking on them. His fangs were as sharp as a knife. You wanted to touch him, but refused. “Fuck.. Fuck Blade please.”

“Your begging is music to my ears.” Blade slowly approached your opening with each kiss and when he reached it with his mouth, licked it from the bottom to your clit and put it into his mouth and sucked on it. You wanted to press your legs together, but his hands forbade you to do it. His mouth was hot, tongue licking your clit and opening lapping at your juices. His right hand stroked your thigh, up to your stomach to your breast and squeezed it. You tossed your head back and almost screamed at his actions.

“Blade!” Your hand found his and squeezed it a little. “Blade, I’m close.” His tongue entered you and his whole mouth was on your pussy now. It wiggled inside of you. Your whole body was moving in ecstasy, and you moved your hips agains his mouth in pleasure.

“Come for me!” And you did, screamed his name as you came. He did a final lick at your entrance and crawled up to you and pressed his lips to yours. Your free hand shoot up and hugged him by his neck, your hand grabbed onto his neck. You felt him moving his cock up and down on your pussy, making it coated with your juices.

“I..I need you, please.” He said noting but sat on his heels and grabbed you to turn you around to be positioned in doggy style, face pressed into the mattress. He settled between your legs and lined up to your entrance. Blade grabbed onto your hair and entered you in one swift motion, and it made you scream out in pleasure. Blade moaned your name.

“Such a perfect pussy. Only mine, c’mon say it.” His grip tightened on your hair and moved his cock back and forth roughly.

“It’s yours. Ahh…. God!” He grabbed onto your butt cheeks and squeezed them, spanked your right cheek hard. You felt your juices ran down your thigh as Blade slammed into your cunt fast. You grabbed onto the satin sheet under you and squeezed it in your palm.

“Blade.. please. I’m so close.”

“Already? But the fun did not even began.” His pace became more and more quick, skin slapped against skin and it made it more erotic in there.

“I…I’m coming. Blade!” In the heat of the passion he suddenly bit into your shoulder and it was enough to send you over the edge, cum on his cold, milking it. He still thrust you more and more and you felt him cum into you. A loud lust filled moan left his mouth as he did so. He licked his lips clean from your blood and turned you around, his cock never left your cunt.

“What a lovely sight.” He kissed you again and again until you were out of breath.

“Blade.”

“Huhh?”

“I… shit. I.”

“I love you too (y/n).” He kissed you again and that’s when you squeezed his cock with your pussy and he became hard again.

“It still hurts.”

“We still have time. I’ll help you no matter what.”

[head-empty-just-sigma]

so i’ve been thinking

i know, dangerous

in all honesty, what is our cast of characters supposed to do about Fukuchi..?

i’ve already made my rant analysis (that you can read here if you’re interested) about how Fukuchi is really just an old man with a time traveling stabby stick that makes for a horrible OP villain. up until now, when presented with such a crisis, either soukoku or shin soukoku will partner up and defeat the big bad… or at least they had weaknesses, like Dostoy not anticipating Dazai was going to find him at the end of the cannibalism arc, or how most of his henchmen and underlings were eventually foiled or defeated to come to a satisfying conclusion that set us up for the next story beat. even Ranpo has his weaknesses, and his whole character is centered around knowing everything

well, we know for a fact that that’s not going to happen this time considering our usual duos and their friends are having some technical difficulties at the moment...

so that makes me think…

who is left to fight at this point..?

obviously we have Fukuzawa, who is currently fighting, and Atsushi is... around. but, the character on my mind the most at this point is Mori, since he’s been missing for quite a long time now. this by itself isn’t a big deal considering side characters often go literal years without any story time. however, this becomes a bit more interesting considering what’s happening to the rest of the Mafia and the world right now in bsd

so, i’m going to analyze some pieces that might be added to this 4d chess board of a story line. including more than just Mori. however, i’ll be talking about Mori quite a bit in this post, like almost half of it actually, so if you don’t feel like reading this, that’s fine

🔺minor spoiler warning for chapters 30/31, 50, and 84, and Dead Apple and Stormbringer. also spoilers for basically the entire current arc up to the most recent chapter as of writing this (ch 105) since i talk about most of the main events/situations🔻

I’ll start by taking a moment to talk about the European android everyone knows and loves(?) from Stormbringer…

Adam Frankenstein

Ah yes, the android, the myth, the legend, and the being that made me cringe so hard i got face cramps the first time I read him chewing and swallowing multiple pieces of gum like candy. That Adam.

We never see him or even hear of him in any other part of the story, including the main manga. He’s kind of just in Stormbringer and never brought up again, supposedly living somewhere in Europe doing android detective things. We haven’t even gotten a hint or any foreshadowing that he might show up in the main story, either. The reasons I think he may show up now are kind of simple to be honest.

He’s an android. That’s it. He’s, y’know, not made of flesh… And he doesn’t have blood.

What makes blood important right now? The vampires. Considering we know that Bram can transform a human, alive or otherwise, into one of his minions by ingesting their blood, we can probably assume that this is how it works for the other vampires as well. Therefore, Adam is at a major advantage against such an enemy since 1. his body is made of metal that couldn’t be damaged by Piano Man’s wire guillotine or regular bullets and survived the heat of Chuuya’s first Corruption with minimal damage, and 2. he doesn’t have blood. He does have this blue substance that I assume acts something like oil or fuel for his body, but since he’s most definitely not human, this doesn’t count as blood for him. He can’t be turned into a vampire. I don’t even think Fyodor could hack him or put a virus into his system, like he did to the Moby Dick (which is technically an ability that got turned into a mechanical ship). If anything, the vampires would just break their fangs trying to bite into his neck.

Since he’s in Europe, which is where our two jail kings and their entourage are, it’s more likely that Adam will appear in the jail scene with Dazai and Dostoy. I’d honestly be happy to see this because it would be interesting to see how he and Chuuya would interact now after so many years apart if Chuuya is ever cured of his, y’know, vampirism. Since he most definitely isn’t going to just die. It would also introduce a new character for people who haven’t read Stormbringer, which could reignite interest in this god forsaken arc for those of us who have given up on getting more than a few cliffhangers and a reminder that Fukuchi sucks every new chapter (trust me, I feel you).

Moving on to another semi-short analysis for a character we haven’t seen outside of light novels. And the mildly disappointing adaption of one said novel.

Shirase Buichirou

Another character who is also in Europe, specifically London, is Shirase. At the end of Stormbringer, he and Chuuya parted ways on somewhat good terms when Shirase heard of a group called the Stray Sheep in Europe, which he joined. Nothing has been heard of him since, similar to Adam. The only reasons I bring him up here is that 1. he’s in Europe, same as Adam and the jail kings, and 2. he is also connected to Chuuya (and is familiar with Dazai, to some degree, but this isn’t important).

I’m hesitant to say he’ll appear in the story considering we truly have no idea what the state of the BSD world is right now. Japan is overrun with vampires, and there’s probably nobody left there who hasn’t been bitten unless they’re a major character in the story (that hasn’t already been bitten). We know that the vampires have been moving out by disguising themselves with sunglasses and stuff to hide their eyes and complexion and getting on planes. Where those planes went to, we only know it’s somewhere overseas. There’s also mentions of fictional countries that only exist within the BSD world, similar to Kenji’s home town being a fictional one from a novel written by the irl Kenji. Fukuchi mentions he “needs to control half the nations’ armies” in order to carry out whatever plan he has, and it’s probably safe to say this has already come to fruition since he threatened to set the vampire army in motion if One Order wasn’t unlocked.

The likelihood of a character like Shirase appearing without being a vampire is much, much lower than Adam, and for more reasons than just because he’s a regular human. Shirase has no ability and is not named after an author or any other real-life person (that I know of), therefore it’s very unlikely he’ll be revealed to have one unless he wields an ability weapon like Fukuchi’s sword. Which is also highly unlikely. Given these conditions, he’s probably already been turned into a vampire along with the rest of the organization he joined. Another possibility for his inclusion is just to be killed off (by, perhaps, a vampire Chuuya). Or he might make a joint appearance with Adam, but I still doubt he’ll be a major character unless he’s there to die to further the plot.

Not to mention Asagiri has mentioned many times that Chuuya’s story is a long one that’s full of hardships, so perhaps one of those hardships may just be having to kill an old friend.

Sorry Shirase fans, but that’s just my thoughts on the matter.

From here on, I’ll be discussing Mori and how he’s appeared and disappeared throughout major story arcs and how he’s interacted with the ADA since the cannibalism arc. I know he’s apparently a controversial character to talk about because of his ability and the comments he makes about underage girls and whatever, so if you don’t feel like reading this part, that’s fine.

In case you’re interested in another character appearance, I have added a few honorary mentions at the bottom of this post.

Mori Ougai

Port Mafia Boss. Underground doctor. Ex-military doctor. A third of the Tripartite Framework. And one half of the first version of soukoku before it was known as soukoku.

His titles honestly don’t mean much to me as the only thing he continuously claims to motivate him is his position as the Boss, which is reasonable as his entire livelihood is dependent on the organization and its success. He fills his role well as a clear villain character with extremely black if not straight up non-existent morals, which we get plenty of examples of during the Dark Era, the Guild arc, and even the Cannibalism arc. The currently arc also proves that he’s both willing to provide some aid to the ADA, as well as make manipulative requests of them despite the horrible position they’re in currently for his own potential benefit. He is truly, wholeheartedly, an evil character.

What I want to focus on the most is his hand in moving the pieces on the chess board, so to speak. We know that Dazai and Dostoy are both sitting on the board, presumably in control of every piece, but is that really true? Remember, Dazai is only the way he is because Mori manipulated and taught him to be that way, which we can see from the parallels in how they act when making threats or doing something morally wrong. The comparison between Dazai’s attitude and Mori’s in chapter 30 is telling enough, seeing that Mori’s expression when he murdered the previous Boss 8 years ago (as well as when he talks with Hirotsu in this chapter) is almost identical to the one Dazai makes as he says his thinly veiled threat to do the same to Mori. The anime makes these expressions even more similar than they are in the manga, but I take everything studio bones does with a heavy grain of salt at this point… And not just with BSD

The last time we saw Mori was when he was mentioned in chapter 91 as the liaison who informed Tanizaki and Kenji that it was time to come out of hiding. He appeared normal and not infected by the vampire virus, which isn’t much of a surprise to me. Stormbringer showed that he’s more than capable of avoiding death, and by proxy, avoiding the master assassin Verlaine. It wouldn’t be much of a stretch to assume he was able to avoid the hive mind army of vampires that are just regular soldiers, and most of the ability users that have been infected are mafioso who Mori is very familiar with. However, whether or not he’ll intervene in the prison arc is not what I plan to discuss here.

The previous two characters would only make sense to appear in the prison because of their relationship to Chuuya and their location. Mori is Chuuya’s Boss, sure, and sure he probably wants to keep Dazai alive and on his radar, but Mori is still in Japan and knows that Meursault isn’t a place to be taken lightly.

No, I think Mori is about to become a player in the battle against Fukuchi.

My evidence isn’t necessarily anything concrete or even any foreshadowing, such as with chapter 84 when it was pretty obvious that Akutagawa was going to show up to aid Atsushi when he was saying he was all alone, or back in chapter 31 where it was obvious that soukoku was going to reunite for a big fight.

Fukuzawa, so far, has been the only person capable of standing up against Fukuchi alone and not being beaten within seconds (except Tachihara, but, well… yknow). So this alone is interesting to me because Fukuzawa is one of the strongest fighters in the ADA, and arguably one of the strongest fighters in the entire story considering his ability has nothing to do with his raw swordsmanship and martial arts skills. Keeping that small fact in mind, I want to jog your memory of the battle that happened in chapter 50 between Fukuzawa and Mori. Both of them are afflicted with the cannibalism virus, which is probably causing them to feel horrible with symptoms, but they still face off in a 1v1 that looks a little unfair. Mori has his ability, Elise, that does whatever he tells it to do and is basically a highly skilled and deadly combat ability. Fukuzawa, while still an ability user, only has his sword and his physical talents. His ability is a support ability that works on his subordinates, he can’t use it to fight like Mori or Fukuchi. However, he still holds his ground extremely well and even destroys Elise within minutes if not seconds of the fight starting, and Fukuzawa deals the fatal blow to Mori first. Even though Mori also severely wounds Fukuzawa just seconds later, it’s more important that this fight showed us that they are practically equal in combat skill. Not to mention Natsume makes an appearance to tell the two of them to stop fighting since both of their organizations need to survive to uphold the Tripartite Framework, which is something they both agree to disagree on basically.

There’s also the events of Dead Apple where, while under the effects of Shibusawa’s fog, Mori and Fukuzawa are fighting their own abilities and struggling. However, when they meet and switch opponents, they easily take down the other’s ability. They even share a few lines of dialogue that shows they’re familiar with each other’s fighting styles and tricks, similar to their explosive meeting in chapter 30 during the Guild Arc.

Now let’s look at the situation Fukuzawa is in right now. His subordinates are in all danger, and the only one that could potentially be coming to his aid is Atsushi, which is a possibility that I’ll mention at the end of this post. However, doesn’t this setup of our protagonists in a life-or-death situation with no help in sight, seem a little familiar to you?

Dazai was surrounded by soldiers in chapter 31 when Chuuya arrived to (begrudgingly) help him out, on Mori’s orders. Dazai was literally dead in Dead Apple when Chuuya showed up to punch him in the face (deserved) to save him.

Atsushi rarely wins on his own, but with Akutagawa’s help and the singularity created by their combined abilities, they’re able to defeat almost any enemy. And when Atsushi was desperate for help in chapter 84, Akutagawa arrived, even if it was on Dazai’s orders.

Fukuzawa is currently losing the fight against the OP time traveling stabby stick wielding grandpa, putting him in a dire situation of trying to save the ADA while not dying in the process. So, will Mori come out from wherever he’s hiding to provide aid to Fukuzawa? Will zenki soukoku come back and parallel the other soukoku’s reuniting/working together to defeat the big bad? It’s hard to say, honestly, but I do believe it’s entirely possible considering Mori has been strangely missing in the story after agreeing to aid the ADA. Well, the ADA needs aid. Badly. And it’s about time they finally got some.

I think Fukuzawa and Mori have the potential to defeat Fukuchi together considering their both equal in strength, so perhaps putting their finely tuned skills together is what will prove to be our deus ex machina that defeats Fukuchi’s self-induced deus ex machinas that are honestly getting pretty damn tiring at this point.

There’s also the fact that Mori had originally agreed to aid the ADA on the condition that one of their members transfers to the Mafia, so perhaps Mori showing up to aid Fukuzawa will be a manipulation tactic to force them to agree to let him choose who he wants to join, since he only actually wants Yosano out of the deal. However, it’s possible that maybe Tanizaki will be the one to change organizations? He did offer to go in Yosano’s stead in chapter 65 when the deal was originally proposed by Mori, who straight up lied about what Fukuzawa told him over the phone that the one person Mori couldn’t choose was Yosano. Mori is a very, very smart man, so he probably knows that if he forces the ADA into enough of a corner under the guise of helping them, he can get what he wants out of them as well. He could also allow the majority/some of the ADA members to die or come close to force Yosano to heal them and work for him one way or another, since we saw in her backstory in the military that Mori isn’t above shooting someone to make Yosano heal them because now they’re “close to death”. He most likely hasn’t changed much in those ways over the years, so I’m expecting to see some extreme manipulation taking place on his part if he does come back into the story.

Honorable mentions that came to mind as I was working to gather potential suspects:

Atsushi

He’s there, kind of, I guess. So much of the arc recently has been like 2 pages of one perspective before changing to the next that I’m not even sure if he’s still the main protagonist anymore. /j

Since he’s also at the airport where this whole *gestures wildly* thing is happening between the two Fuku’s, it would make sense that he at least shows up during the fight. We also know he’s actively looking for Fukuzawa because he can’t decide on what to do next now that he knows what the DOA is after.

The only way I see Atsushi being implemented in the battle is if he gets super upset or angry over seeing all his friends and coworkers in serious trouble, and either Fukuzawa releases his ability (if that’s even possible) from Atsushi and allows him to use the full power of the White Tiger to fight Fukuchi, which could potentially defeat the time-traveling sword since the Tiger’s claws can cut through abilities. The other option is he goes feral? I don’t really know to be honest. Maybe he just gets his ass beat again by Fukuchi. Who knows. I’ll just be over here preparing the party poppers for Kunikida’s promotion I guess.

Verlaine

Why? For fun.

He’s never appeared in the main story line since he lives in the Port Mafia’s basement basically. But considering the Mafia kinda went up in flames (or vampires, I guess) it’s possible he’s on the move now. Whether he’d appear in the jail, to save Chuuya, or appear at the airport, potentially under Mori’s orders, I honestly don’t know. But, since he’s part of the Mafia and another character we haven’t seen, and the cover of volume 22 as well as other official artwork has been featuring several Stormbringer and Sheep references, some people believe we might be seeing someone from that cast of characters in an upcoming chapter. But honestly I think they might be on as much copium as I am…

It would be funny to see Verlaine show up and just crush Fukuchi in like 3 seconds while the rest of the protagonists couldn’t defeat him though.

Ango?

We see Ango last in chapter 95 when it’s revealed he’s the one that demanded a seal be put on One Order, at Dazai’s request as part of his plan to counter Dostoy. He hasn’t been a big player in this arc beyond being the coordinator early on for the ADA’s moves, but since they all were reunited and came up with their own plans, he’s been more active as just a background character acting on the messages from Dazai. But, since he is the final piece of the Tripartite Framework, I thought I’d just mention him here as well. Natsume clearly wants the three organizations to work together, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Dazai has also given Ango a message or plan to relay to Mori. I don’t think he’ll ever be a super big part of the current events, though, just more of the background coordinator.

The Guild?

We kind of see them and then we don’t. We know Fitzgerald wants to work with whoever is winning, which as far as we know, he thinks is going to be the ADA. He was giving them aid in exchange for Yosano healing Mitchell, but we don’t really see anything come after this agreement is made? Atsushi and Kyouka get into one ambulance with Mitchell inside to bring her to Yosano, and at the same time, Yosano (along with Tanizaki and Kenji) are attacked by the government who set up their own trap unknown to Fitzgerald and Atsushi. We know Fitzgerald didn’t set them up because in the first few pages after we see the government attacking, we see Fitzgerald explaining why he didn’t go with the 74 plans Alcott prepared that included selling out the Agency’s location. Technically, it only happened because Tachihara is a Hunting Dog, so he betrayed the location of the meeting since Mori sent him and the other Black Lizard captains for security, and Tachihara is using his metal manipulation to pretend as if there’s an ability user attacking them with the government so they have to retreat after Kenji is severely injured. He’s also there to prevent Atsushi from reuniting with Yosano just a few minutes later. Which is truly impressive since he’s technically fighting himself the entire time? Wow is that symbolism of him as a character if I’ve ever seen it, that’s for sure. Not to mention he also stabs himself with Gin’s knife, just *chefs kiss* of a character I really wish he wasn’t killed/vampire-d whatever the fuck happened because he deserved so much better. But anyway, we never see the Guild again after this. So we have no idea what they’re currently doing, nor have we seen the other branch of the “Guild” that Steinbeck created at the end of the Guild arc since the end of that arc. So, I doubt they’ll come back.

The Clock Tower?

They’d have jurisdiction over Meursault, but it’s hard to say if they’ll step in. They haven’t been a part of the story at all beside Agatha’s little cameo from chapter 12. On a side note, I believe Agatha’s ability will be something along the lines of causing death in accordance to the lines in the poem “Ten Little Soldiers” (obviously I’m not putting the original name here) since her ability is named after the mystery novel And Then There Were None that’s about ten people dying on an island of various means that follow the reasons in the rhyme of the poem. It’s quite interesting, actually. But back to my main point, I don’t really see why they would suddenly come into the story now. If anything, they might appear if Fukuchi decides to try and use his vampire army against the governments of the world and create a world-wide coup d’etat with One Order.

Is this a copium-driven fever dream of a hope to have? Haha, fuck yeah it is! But I’ll let the copium win today if it means having at least a little hope that Fukuchi’s arc of shitty OP-ness will come to an end soon. Please. Asagiri I’m begging. I’m on my knees. Just PLEASE

Anyways, that's my thoughts on the matter. This theory was a little out there and not really based on too much evidence, but I still felt the need to write up this post, or else the brainrot might actually get my final braincell and it'd be all downhill from there.

As always, I hope you enjoyed, and thanks for reading. If you have your own idea of what you think will be the thing to defeat Fukuchi, feel free to say it in the comments or send a message to my Inbox on my profile. We can cope theorize together :)

**i just finished editing this oh my god this is so long i’m sorry i just had a lot of brainrot about this and i’m desperately awaiting whatever is going to end Fukuchi to the point i want to do it myself

Marya Zaleska/Tedward Lobo fanfic - Connected

Movies: Dracula's Daughter (1936) and Renfield (2023)

Characters: Countess Marya Zaleska, Sandor (DD), Tedward 'Teddy' Lobo, his mom Bellafrancesca, his sister Mandy, his deceased flashback dad, his henchmen, Rebecca Quincey and her deceased flashback dad (Renfield)

Relationships: Tedward Lobo/Countess Marya Zeleska and past Tedward Lobo/Rebecca Quincy

Scenario inspiration: Jane meets Tarzan

Summary: Teddy Lobo meets Countess Marya Zaleska A.K.A Dracula's Daughter and they get to know other better

Content warning: Language, (Which shouldn't be surprising considering it's Teddy Lobo we're talking about XD) subtle comparison to SA, violence, death, attempted suicide and intense emotional distress

I adore Teddy Lobo sm I even reblogged a post from Tumblr that perfectly sums up why I feel bad for that baby girl 💖

As for Marya Zaleska, Idk why she’s so underutilized compared to Dracula and even Alucard, but I also adore her sm! She’s my favorite female monster! I think what I love the most about her is she’s fiercely strong. And by strong, I don’t just mean by her physical supernatural force or being an immortal vampire, but mainly her ability to live for a hundred years experiencing the worst, darkest moments of her life as a vampire + a gross sustenance addiction and mental illness allegory and still seek a normal life of calm, peace and joy full of happy memories along with everyone else, maybe even normal friends. To me, not only is that a sign of maturity, but also a sign of serious mental strength~💜

The idea of these two being paired up together came about from when I came up with that ship some time ago and I really got into it the more I pondered about it. Out of the more popular Renfield ships I know of such as Dracfield, Tedfield, Renbecca and Tedbecca, I found a ship between a drugged up nepo baby with a mindset of a scared child trying hard to be braver to prove himself to his mom while living in a home where his family survives in a corrupt system using fear and violence and a mysterious woman from an obscure mid 1930s film with an implied strained relationship with a legendary vampire she claims to be the daughter of searching for a new life with peace and joy without having to continue to struggle with a lonely, morbid, immortal metaphorical mental illness any longer to be the most intriguing one

I see a lot of similarities and contrasts between their characters, backgrounds and relationships with others. I see ways they can add something new to each other's daily routines. I can see the ship baiting for a diverse variety of genres for fanfic stories: fluff, angst, horror, thriller, romance, kinky, ect.

I can talk about the appeal of that ship alone all day if I can just bc I love them sm I can't even 🥺

Now grab a snack, sit back, relax and enjoy reading! C:

After his pitch black vision slowly turns into a blur to a regained solid vision again, the only thing Teddy can feel at the moment is numbness and a bad headache. “Uhh… Umm, w-where am I…?”

The last thing he remembers is the sharp fangs piercing into his skin and him fanatically attempting to push the young female vampire away as his body slowly numbs from the blood drainage and fainting into unconsciousness as the last thing he can hear is the vampire turn into a swarm of speedy, frenzied screeching bats wrestling with each other as she felt a buzz of a sustenance she has not tasted in blood before, and he knew exactly what it is.

When he slowly sits up and looks around, he finds himself in completely different surroundings. Instead of inside a dark abandoned castle he was in before, he finds himself on top of a forest of trees. What makes his newly pumped blood feel colder is when he looks down and saw no nearby ground, but rather fog below. He almost chokes in a panic and his heavy breathing goes faster and harder.

“Oh fuck… Ronnie? Ricky? Shit… Mans’? Anyone here to give me a fucking hand? I don't know how to climb down this high up. Maybe someone can call mom to pick me up back home? That'll be great ‘cause I'm already done with those weird bloodsuckers! She almost fucking killed me, damnit!”

No response unfortunately. But he does notice something about himself: He is back to phase 2 of his beastly form. It's been so long since he last transformed into an actual Lobo. He always had that silver bracelet amulet on his wrist to tame that part of him, so the amount of pain he received from his transformation shows how unused his body was to turning into a completely different body. He had suggested the idea of embracing the family’s wolf forms to install more fear into the New Orleans residents to reach the world domination goal better, but his mother declined the idea, believing they're not quite ready for the moment yet with her son always fleeing from conflict.

Sighing from disbelief that he has no choice but to climb down himself, he hops off a huge tree arm to land onto the other nearest one on the left, but barely falls off along with an audible high-pitched yelp, a series of curses utters out of his mouth as he is lucky enough to only grapple the arm with his longer pointed claws. Another problem arises however: The heavy rain makes it harder for the claws to grapple onto a tree arm for long, so then his claws slip off and he falls two stories until he hits the other long arm with a painful impact on his back. It was so painful he couldn't get him to stop squirming around with another series of curses uttering out of his throat.

“Fuck! My fucking back!”

Thankfully, the only thing that shuts the young wolf up is the nearby sound of what he thought sounds like licking and crunching. Turning his head forward to the opposite of his direction is an interesting site: That pale woman eating a huge carcass. Is that a bison? How is she able to take down such an immensely huge and strong animal and carry it to the highest trees? She must have superhuman strength to be able to do that! Then again, she's a vampire, and apparently even the slenderest female vampires can give the most muscular non-supernatural male bodybuilders a run for their money.

That was when the vampire stops eating and turns to notice the young wolf staring at her, appearing to be lost in thought. Teddy notices something different about her besides having huge bat wings on her back. Her irises remain blood red, but her whites have now turned black. There is also the fact that she is now not wearing clothing, only covered up with long sections of her dark hair with dark purple and blue highlights. Her hair is about knee length, flows from even a slight breeze easily and has many partings like spider legs but thin and silky as a spider web. It appears she is also on a half phase of her feral form, but Teddy honestly didn't think she looked that terrifyingly ugly. As a matter of fact… Never did he think he would think this about a vampire, but her hair looks so… Beautiful…

“OH FUCK!” Teddy shrieks as the vampire woman suddenly jumps and charges towards him, only to stop at her tracks as if she's just trying to get a closer, better look at him. Teddy tries to scream, but is initially unable to due to his fast, panicking heart. It was only when the woman starts to slowly crawl towards him he is able to coherently speak again.

“W-wa-wait-wait wait! Back off! Back the FUCK OFF! I'm fucking warning ya! Do you know who the fuck I am? I'm Teddy fucking Lobo! I'm a criminal! I can knock your teeth out if I can! I'll do it, I'll fucking do it!”

Teddy thrusts his right foot out onto her chest in an attempt to prevent her from coming closer, only to be immediately followed up with a loud pop coming from his aching back. He whines and whimpers as he tries to quickly ease his back in fear of what could happen if he's off guard while the vampire is right next to him.

She leans over and reaches her hand to the wolf’s cheek to lean him over to see what's wrong with his back. Teddy really underestimated the strength of that woman, for he tries desperately to push her off, but to no avail.

“GAAAH! LET THE FUCK GO OF ME-”

But then he suddenly goes quiet and his breathing goes slower and slower. He is surprised by what has just occurred: The woman had started stroking his back slowly and gently as she can possibly go with how much she underestimates her own strength of her sharp claws. How this calmed Teddy's nerves within seconds is a miracle that can't be explained. He almost falls asleep and his head almost rests on the woman's breasts, but he is surprised he doesn't hear a heartbeat coming from her chest. Does her heart not work? Wait… Of course it wouldn't, she's technically a walking corpse, why else would she need to feed on blood to survive?

She leans back to place her head onto his chest to hear if he has a heartbeat and much to her surprise, he does. Quite a fast, hard one.

Teddy can feel his anxiety growing back once more and tries to hit her with his sharp long claws, only for her to grab his wrist on time with a swift motion that gives him barely any time to react. About 3 seconds later, the same thing happens to his left wrist. He swears his face feels beat red the entire awkward time. She rests her head onto his bare chest to hear his heartbeat and now she's restraining his wrists to prevent him from hitting her. Why is this daughter of Dracula playing with her potential prey?

But then he notices something odd: Despite her threatening appearance, the woman doesn't at all look hostile. If anything, she looks… Curious. If not a bit concerned for the wolf. She observes his claws and lifts up her claws near his to compare the difference. There is a difference: The wolf’s claws are thicker and black, expected from canine biology.

“Umm… You're not… You're not gonna suck me dry?”

“...”

Teddy isn't sure whether to take it as her being more friendlier than she seems or biding her time to set up some sort of trap when he is caught off guard or-

“...You say so much… Teddy Lobo”

That was not something he expected to hear come out of her mouth in both ways. For one, she speaks noticeably slowly and calmly as if she is trying to savor the words coming out of her mouth as much as possible, it is a noticeable contrast to how loud, obnoxious and talkative the Lobo is. And two, he didn't really notice how much he talks until a non-talkative vampire points it out. Holy shit! Does he really talk that much? In his defense, it's sort of a coping mechanism for him because he felt so lonely and underappreciated by most people he knows for most of his life, even by relatives, so talking a big game while putting up a loud, tough façade is his effective way of putting the attention on himself he rarely gets during his childhood and adolescence.

“Well uhh… Yeah? I like talking. I mean who doesn't? Awkward silences can make anyone uncomfortable right? Unless you like silence… Do you like to talk about yourself Mrs.… Umm... Mrs. Name I don't know?”

While grabbing his long, pointed fangs to observe the details, the young vampire reveals herself

“I am Dracula's daughter, the princess of Wallachia. Some call me “Elizzabat Draculaura”, or “Lizzy” for short. I call myself “Georgia” which is commonly said to mean “Agriculture”, but interestingly, “Georgia” also possibly originates from a Persian word “Gurğ” which roughly translates into “Wolf”.”

There is no reason he should be feeling this way, but the feel of her fingers moving around and feeling through his fangs while listening to her talking seems to turn his cheeks slightly pink and his mind keeps tricking him into thinking it's something more perverted happening in his mouth. Perhaps the fact that she reveals that one of her nicknames means “wolf” is what got him a bit too excited.

“But I prefer that you call me “Countess Marya Zaleska”. Because when you look beyond my bitter curse, what you'll will see within my soul is a forest of love”

Teddy looks absolutely in love with Marya with her strong yet soft voice uttering all the different names while the highlights in her hair reflect from the moonlight peaking through an open hole of a cloudy, stormy night, not caring about his fangs being played around with. For someone who commented on him talking a lot, she sure seemed to have wanted to vent about herself as if she's been waiting for that moment for ages. Maybe she likes to talk a lot too, she's just a little closed up about it and just needs the right person to confide in.

“M… Marya sounds… like a beautiful name. So does Draculaura. Maybe I should call you… Lady Draculaura!”

“...Interesting. Many fellow monsters often referred to me as such before.”

“Oh wow, really! Well shit, guess I'm really on the roll!” At that moment, Teddy realizes he was losing his cool and quickly stiffened back into his more tougher front. “It's not like I care about that or anything, stupid…”

Marya thinks it's kind of cute how the young wolf tries to hide his soft spot… Just before hearing a low rumbling sound. She twitches her ears like a cat and she tries to figure out where that strange sound is coming from.

“Ah shit! A bowl of meatballs was the only thing I ate this afternoon… “ Teddy's face flushes in embarrassment and he holds his stomach. He wonders if all the exertion from this crazy evening is what also contributed to feeling so hungry again. And maybe it's the smell of fresh meat from the carcass Marya was eating.

Marya has just the idea! She leaps back to the spot where she was previously feasting on her carcass, lifts the carcass above her head and carefully hops back to Teddy and carefully places her heavy carcass in front of him as an offer to share and hopefully fill his empty stomach.

“I don't believe a few small pieces of meat will be enough to satisfy you after everything you've been through tonight, just because of me… And… Sandor…”

Teddy feels his primal instincts trying to kick in as the meat comes in direct contact with him until Sandor is mentioned. “Huh? you knew about that guy?”

Her ears and position pull back. Just even thinking about that guy is enough to make Marya feel utterly uncomfortable. “Yes. He was my servant a long time ago. I promised him eternal life, but he was not a patient man. He wanted that gift as soon as possible, despite my dreams and wishes. Eventually, he betrayed me, and shot an arrow through me and killed me…”

Sighing, she looks like she's about to tear up even more. “You can't imagine how shocked I was to wake up and find myself at his hands… To use my power while my preserved dead body was sealed away for his disgusting world domination schemes…”

Hearing “disgusting” follow up with “world domination” makes Teddy flinch with disgust. The thing is it's true that he, along with his family, plans to gain power over the world and make everyone fear them. They don't know yet how they are going to accomplish that goal, but what at least Teddy knows is that it doesn't involve killing a woman and using her corpse as a power source for sinister purposes for no apparent reason other than because he didn't get something from her. That sounds like a vampire equivalent of… No. Don't think about it. That fucking bastard!

“But you, Tedward…” Marya stares at her claws as if she is lost in thought. “...When you saw what he had done to me, you tore him to pieces, along with the brides, and his alive coffin throne where I was stored as a power source. If too much of my power was extracted from me I would have weakened and stayed dead…”

“Hell yeah! It feels fucking good to give that bastard what he deserves. Now I feel like a king!” On the contrary of what he may insist, it's very rare for Teddy to actually ever kill anyone. The only person he remembers proactively killing is the father of that Asian officer as a punishment for killing his dad during that one fight that happened over him breaking up with Mrs. Quincy.

Teddy and Rebecca used to date a little bit. Teddy thinks it's cute when Rebecca gets angry over the littlest things and finds joy in teasing her about it. But even Rebecca used to think Teddy is cute, particularly his more laid back demeanor, his sense of humor and his dorky smile, which isn't something she normally finds in her workforce. So naturally, she grew attracted to him and wanted to take their relationship to the next level.

But there's a problem: As much as Teddy's emotional heart wanted to say yes, his logical brain says no due to multiple reasons: Too much conflict between their respective families, too much stress from dealing with the toxic environments within the systems they're bound to and both being too ill-tempered to be able to work out a conflict calmly, so Teddy unfortunately had to be honest with Rebecca and tell her that for these reasons, he doesn't think the relationship would work out long term

And man! He doesn't know what her deal was. Whether it's bottled up anger issues going on and she decided to use that moment as an opportunity to take it out on him or what, but to say she didn't take the rejection well is quite an understatement. First, she attacks him, and then Teddy's dad overhears the fighting and attacks her to defend his son, only for Rebecca's dad to jump in and attack him to defend his daughter. He shoots Teddy's dad until he falls off the two story balcony and the sharp rocks underneath cracks his skull open and he dies. Finally in a fit of rage, Teddy kicks down Rebecca's dad who begs for mercy and for him to spare his life. Not having any of it, Teddy finally pushes him off the balcony and he too dies.

To this day, that moment is still vivid in the young wolf’s and the young Asian officer's minds. They couldn't shake off that day even if they tried and blamed each other for the death of their respective fathers since then. Their feelings for each other hardened into bitterness each day and they swear revenge on each other someday. Just as Teddy got those painful ponderings out of his mind, he wakes up to see Marya with her hand on his head. “My kind has telepathy. So do I therefore, and it appears you too had your heart broken.”

Teddy is suddenly so emotionally drained, he honestly doesn't know what to feel at the moment. His mouth moves as if he's trying to say something, but the words aren't coming out. Maybe it's just he hasn't been snorting up some coke since this morning?

“...Teddy?”

But that was it, he's not saying anything. He's just staring into the void with tears slowly forming into his eyes. Until…

“T-Teddy?!” Marya gasps as she notices him starting to tilt to the right off the tree and quickly catches his hand once he begins to fall! “OH SHIT! Hang on, Teddy! I got you”

“Leave me alone to die…” Teddy muttered despondently, barely highering his head as his sudden suicidal depression crashes in.

“P-Pardon..?”

“What's the point of living on? I'm just your prey anyway…”

But Marya was not having any of it. She had a hundred years of experience with the worst, darkest moments in life as a vampire, yet she knows there is still hope for more happier, peaceful aspects of life to savor, therefore, others should be able to enjoy it despite their darkest moments as well. With all of her might, Marya thrusts her upper body strength and throws Teddy up into the air and uses two of her hands to catch him. She gently cradles him onto her arms and wings as she moves back onto the tree, very concerned for him. But what concerns her even more is when the young wolf's safety is reassured, he begins to panic and bursts into tears!

“Teddy? Are you alright? What happened?!” the extremely worried vampire asks as she tries to soothe him with shoulder rubs as gently as she possibly can.

“FUCK! Why the fuck can't you just let me FUCKING DIE! I WANNA FUCKING DIE!” Teddy sobbed loudly.

“Teddy… Why would you want to die instead of enjoying the beauties and wonders of life?”

“Almost nothing good happens in my life! I grew up into a crime family surrounded with drugs and violence, I was raised into a criminal, mom grew distant as a parent, I lost dad because I said no to a cop I liked, and now mom spends more time with Mandy while the only people I actually even get to spend time with anymore are my own henchmen.” Teddy couldn't contain his tears streaming down his face even if he wanted to.

“What else is there for me to enjoy? I'm lonely as fuck and I would eventually have to go back home to deal with the same shit over and over again… I would rather FUCKING DIE than to keep going like this until I grow old and grey FOREVER! So please… PLEASE LET ME FUCKING DIE!”

Marya was absolutely stunned! Was this young Lobo legit suffering this much his entire life?! He literally spilled his heart out like he's been waiting for that moment for ages! It was almost like that storm the heavens are still pouring out right now. It also reminded her of how she felt when she wanted to be able to live as a normal person again, to be out in the sun, to not have to continue doing evil or be shunned and even attempted to be crucified by mortals who'll eventually die out into dust while she continues to live on.

She paces her head around the tree to figure out what to do and how to comfort him. “Tedward… Look at me.”

It's a struggle for the watery-eyed Teddy to look up at the vampire, but he eventually calms down a bit.

“What do you see in my eyes?” The last time she asked that question to Sandor, his response was “Death”. That simple answer gave her a cold feeling since then. That simple answer reveals how he truly feels about her kind: Dead, unfeeling monsters. Incapable of loving life and happiness. No value. Only good for what he can get out of them. Otherwise, they can be killed off and disregarded without second thought. Her hope this time is that this Lobo wouldn't be selfish and cold enough to think the same about her.

As corny it may sound, Teddy can't help but think of one thing as he stares into such long lashed, watery blood red eyes: Soul gaze. Yes, sometimes gazing into the eyes can be like gazing into the window of someone's soul. After all, a person can reveal something about themselves merely with body language, even facial. Not for long he reveals his answer: Beauty.

Marya is taken back. What did he say? “Beauty”? No… that can't be right… How many people does she know think of her as someone beautiful? Especially considering what she had become? Tears begin forming into her eyes as well. “You… You generally believe that..?”

“...Yeah… I see beauty because…” He looks down unto his fiddling fingers as he feels embarrassment rushing through his face “Shit! This is so stupid… Umm. For someone who would be expected to look unattractive for your kind, particularly in your most feral form, you look physically attractive, you look so pretty! But I do see beauty inward because well… Not a whole lot of people I know actually gives a shit about whether I live or die, let alone a bloodsucker Batwoman”

When he looks up again, he sees tears in her eyes as well. “...You're lonely too aren't you?” The answer he doesn't expect is for her to wrap her clawed hands around his back and borrow his face into his shoulder.

“You… Are my God-given Guardian wolf, Tedward… You're like an answer to my prayers to God.”

“What the fuck..?” Teddy isn't exactly religious, but he sure as hell didn't expect a vampire to have good feelings about God, especially considering what many old priests have done to her kind under the name of God! “What do you mean by that?”

She pulls up from him, attempting to compose herself. “Do you know what “Tedward” means?”

“Uhh, not offhand. I do wonder how you know Tedward is my full first name when I haven't even told you yet? Oh right, you have telepathy.”

“Well yes. But Teddy is a nickname for a certain common name. Tedward sounds like a combination of Theodore and Edward. Theodore originates from a Greek word that translates into “God-given” or “Gift of God”, and Edward originates from an Old English word that translates into “Rich Guardian” or “Wealthy Protector”.”

“WHA-How do you know about these things?! That sounds fucking awesome!”

“I know, I'm a smarty pants. When I have time for myself, I like to read books outdoors under the moonlight and listen to the Children of the Night. Listen to them, what music they make.” By "Children of the Night", she refers to the sounds of chirping crickets, howling wolves that can be heard in the distance and wind chimes hanging on trees blown by the cool gentle breeze.

“Well you got the right guy, baby, because I'm rich and I can be your protector and provider. Everyone in the town where my family is at fears us and knows when to not piss us off. You'll never have to wait in line again! We can go to a restaurant and I'll order you whatever meal you want no matter the expense. We can go to a shop and I'll buy you all the sun protectors and fancy ass dresses you could want, and-”

His stomach comes back to interrupting with another loud growl, making the female vampire chuckle. “Ah shit, thanks for reminding me I'm still starving…”

“No problem, Teddy Lobo, I'll provide food for you this time.” She pulls the bison back closer to Teddy and uses her pinky claw to draw a blood mark to get both him and her hungry for blood.

The smell of meat entices Teddy so much, he feels sudden sharp pangs of pain as he feels himself morphing back into his fourth phase leopard-printed wolf form. He almost launches at the bison carcass only to stop and remember something. “Wait… Lemme ask first: I love Georgia. it's a really nice name I should consider tattooing onto my arm. I love the theory that it originally means “Wolf”, but why do you call yourself that? Aren't you more associated with bats or dragons or something?”

“Well… Vampires and werewolves weren't always antagonistic to one another, we mostly have been allies. In fact, some of us believe we are connected or are one thing, connected like Heaven and Earth. After all, bats are considered “sky puppies” as mortals call them. I do see why, I call myself "Georgia" because I often dream of associating with werewolves more to dissociate myself with Dracula. We must be more connected than mortals thought we are, as Dracula can turn into a wolf, and since I'm his daughter, so can I.”

Teddy's ears perk up and his tail starts wagging. “Huh? you're a Lobo too?! You want to join the Lobos? Oh fuck yeah! Please show me!

“...Sure.” Marya's onyx jewel rings start glowing colors of blue, purple and pink and she smokebombs a large poof of smoke clouds and bats that makes it hard for Teddy to see her. It takes half a minute for the smoke to finally dissipate and he sees the most awesome silhouette ever: A dark furred female wolf with bat wings and dark blue, purple and red highlights and blood red eyes.

“IT'S SO FUCKING AMAZING! IT'S THE REAL FUCKING DRACULA'S DAUGHTER!” The loud leopard-printed wolf begins jumping and wagging his tail so hard the darker she-wolf begins to worry it's going to fall out of his butt. Teddy licks and nuzzles his newfound favorite she-wolf.

“Y-yes it's me. Now let's feast”

Teddy is utterly excited yet complies and rips the carcass' meat with his new mate. Well… She's not exactly his mate yet, but he would be lying if he said he didn't already want her to be one just because of how much he adores her just after meeting her for one night. Only one question remains: What would his mother and sister think? Well… He honestly couldn't care less at the moment. His mother seems to value Mandy's opinions more than his, so why should he care what she thinks about who he wants to date anyways?
