The Graveyard Shift: Attack Dog

GUESS WHO'S BACK FROM THE PSYCH WARRDDDDDD

Me? Posting two au spin-off snippets in one day? Well, technically two days bc it's 12 am now, but whatever. Anyways uh @mother-spore-missa @highbookwormofthecentury flirty anon that I'm somewhat convinced is @chaotetothecore here's some graveyard shift content

For context: in the official AU, Akita runs away when her brother is mutilated, and ends up in Jamanakai in time for Harumi and Lloyd to also show up. Here, she decides to get revenge instead of running. I literally just spell-checked this so don't expect poetry here mkay

CW: blood and gore, cult setting, stalking, emotional manipulation, magical slavery (?), non-consensual touching, dehumanization, non-sexual restraints, body horror (kinda), psychological horror (also kinda), brief instance of casual cannibalism, graphic murder, graphic description of a corpse, obsessive behavior, implied torture. Uh I think that's it but if anyone thinks I need to include smth else lemme know mkay content under the cut

Frigid droplets of water slid down the slick black stones of the catacombs, congealing on the edge between the walls and floor. It was cold enough to freeze, creating slick patches of frost in the otherwise arid room.

It didn't bother her any. She was quite used to the cold by now.

She hummed, her voice soft and lilting, near silent. The polaroid picture of a young boy - 15, at most - with bleach blonde hair and radioactive green eyes sat on the frigid desk before her, in the corner of her personal 'study'. The boy's pitch black sclera matched her own, though her irises were a hot, intense pink. A sharp painted nail languidly tapped against the boy's head. He was facing in another direction, unaware of the photo being taken through his window.

So, so stupid. She couldn't wait to use that. This little liminal might just turn out to be her favorite plaything yet. Of course…

"You're so much more than that," she whispered near-silently, her nail tracing his soft jawline. By this point, she knew more about this boy than he knew about himself. Every facet of his life, from his favorite meal to the order he tied his shoes in - left, then right - was meticulously observed and recorded. This boy was more than a fun toy, more than another target.

Lloyd Garmadon would be her savior. The Conduit… the Conduit would free her. He could make her a real person again.

Her eyes flickered at movement in her peripherals. A dim laptop, grimy from dust and muck, featured glitching grey security camera footage. A woman, mid-forties, silently screamed and banged on deepstone bars. She chuckled, leaning her head on pale white knuckles. Misako Montgomery Garmadon, hair askew and glasses broken on the floor, screamed her pathetic little throat out. You'd think after nearly two months, the woman would have given up.

Entertainment like this made her glad she hadn't just killed the woman. And, of course, it really would have been such a hassle…

A creaky mrow disrupted her thoughts. Without moving her head, she looked at the source. The cracked, dirty skeleton of a house cat greeted her. The flesh and fur of the animal was long gone, leaving behind grimy, but perfectly preserved bones, meticulously assembled in its exact skeletal structure. All except the neck, twisted and cracked beyond repair.

The reanimated skeleton hopped onto her desk, uncaring of the cold, and butted against her chest. She smiled, a rare thing, and skimmed the tip of her finger over its head. Her pet batted at her long, snow-white hair.

"Funny… isn't it?" She whispered. The unnamed cat paid her no mind, twisting its dull talons in her hair. She hummed, watching as Misako Garmadon finally gave up and slumped against the wall, shivering. "She's so… desperate. For someone who doesn't even realize she's gone. Can you believe it? All I have to do to shatter that hope… is send a text." She pulled Misako's phone from her pocket, holding it between her pointer and middle finger like a trump card. She thought about it, teasing the woman's son's contact. She could picture it now - the blonde would light up like a child on Christmas morning, ever-so-happy to have attention from mommy dearest. Hell, she could pull up the footage of his apartment this second and watch it in real time. It was tempting to go visit Misako herself, just to watch the woman crumble as she saw her son freely offering up information of his day to a complete stranger.

Ah, but alas, she had things to do. The time to act was closing in, and she needed to make sure Jamanakai was ready for the Conduit.

Her cat looked up at her with black, soulless eyes and gave another mrow. She smiled, thin-lipped. "It'll have to wait," she whispered, stroking a dainty finger along the skeleton's cracked skull. The cat rumbled in imitation of a purr, pressing against her skin. Its tail curled up around her hand as she stroked it.

She sighed, leaning back in her rickety chair. The room was dim, lit only by the artificial putrid green light pouring in from stained glass windows. Of course, they were only decorative - she was so deep underground, light had no hope of reaching this place. The room was bare, walls lined in knick-knacks. The skull of a fox was nestled between dead vines, the skeleton of a snake with its maw wide open curled around a jar of black-sclera eyeballs swimming in green. A few dozen books filled the empty shelf space.

A small kitchenette lined most of the back wall. Putrid ingredients - the bones of animals and human alike, the throbbing organs of a few dozen organisms, the bottled souls of the damned - filled the space. The only non-practical decoration in the room was her tea set. Smooth, uncracked porcelain teacups and a pot sat upon a short wooden table, covered by a lacy white tablecloth. Ghost plants - drooping white flowers with petals like bells - scattered across every inch of her room. Officially, this space was simply a room to work in. Unofficially, it was her safe haven. Far more comfortable than her real bedroom, anyhow.

A boot tapped against the ground. Her thoughts these days were consumed by the Conduit - how she would befriend him, how she would manipulate the awakening of his powers, how she would lead him back to the catacombs - so much so that there was little room for anything else. Should all go according to plan, she would lure the Conduit to Jamanakai Village, isolating him completely and utterly. In such a Thin, liminal space, his connection to the Veil would awaken quickly. No, it was getting him to use those powers that had her in a bind.

For her purposes, he needed to be powerful. But if he was powerful, then she couldn't force him to do a damn thing - so she needed him to want to do it. So manipulation it was. Luckily, she was quite the master of it.

The cat suddenly arched its back, hissing violently. With no vocal cords, it was more of a scratchy, nails-on-a-chalkboard grinding of bones, but it was the effort that counted. She frowned, following her cat's lifeless stare to the heavy, ornate black door. Distantly, she could hear the sound of a scuffle.

Hm. More interesting than her Conduit homework, surely. Really, she knew the boy up, down, left, right, and sideways at this point. She stood from her seat, hair falling around her shoulders listlessly. The cat hopped from the desk to curl around her neck, still hissing, now directly into her ear. The sound didn't bother her after all this time.

She entered the long, dark hallways of the catacombs. The occasional stained glass window interrupted the bleak halls, providing artificial light. This far down, torches were too risky. She walked down the long, wide, arched hall, boots clicking against cracked stone. The further she walked, the louder the sound of fighting got.

Finally, she reached an open space. The room was wide, circular, almost like a colosseum. No, she thought, looking down from the upper level to the carnage below, exactly like a colosseum.

The sight was gruesome. Bodies, torn open and guts spilling across the pristine marble, lay scattered across the underground cathedral. Their faces were marred in blood, skin torn from their bones. Their torsos had entire chunks ripped out by violent teeth, tendons and organs broken across their bodies as they dripped bloody fluids.

In the center of it all, a giant white wolf. The beast growled, powerful teeth bared in a violent snarl. Its maw dripped red, congealing around its paws. It was bigger than any animal had any right to be. She looked gazed, interested, at the set of three red-tipped tails and six powerful legs. Two small eyes glared underneath larger ones, glowing a solid red with sheer rage. A changeling, then, or 'formling' as they were occasionally called.

A dozen members of the compound, all liminals and armed with spirit-amulets, yelled as they sent Poltergeist after Poltergeist, Haunting after Haunting, but the changeling wolf didn't waver. Its jaws, teeth glimmering with sick red, snapped around the ghostly forms, ripping already incorporeal bodies in two.

She hummed, leaning on the iron banister as she watched the carnage unfold. The wolf sprang forward, targeting a lowly member - weak, cowardly, stupid to boot - and tore into his torso, flinging his limp body across the colosseum. It hit the wall with a sick, broken crack, sliding down and leaving a trail of gore behind. The cat on her shoulder hissed, arching, and she shushed it. This was far too interesting to intervene.

To her delight, the white beast shifted, form rippling as the white body became a white cloak. The skin of a white wolf covered the form of a young girl. She had dark skin and thin, angry red eyes. A tail, still attached to her body, twitched behind her. A pair of white ears sprouted from her wild black hair. She was dressed in layered whites accented with red, and sported a sharp dagger at her side.

"Where is he?!" The girl screamed, voice cracking in her rage. A man took the transformation as invitation to attack - the changeling cut his throat. She savagely ripped into him with snarls and growls, plunging her blade into his throat again and again.

"My," she whispered from her vantage point high above, "this keeps up, we won't have anything but ghosts."

It wouldn't be such a bad thing. Most of these people were terribly incompetent. Ah, but alas, the Overlord would be displeased to lose his little sycophants.

God. As if she gave a shit about the Overlord. What a fucking loser.

But… the vessel would be disappointed if she just sat back and let people die.

Her thoughts were interrupted by some man, early twenties perhaps, with black sclera and pale blue irises. He gasped, hunching over as he caught his breath. She only looked down on his, expression flat and disinterested.

"Q-Quiet One! There's a changeling-"

"I'm aware," she cut him off. He fell silent immediately, eyes flicking up to her cold face. She pursed her lips, turning her neck to look down on the changeling in question.

She had become a girl again, though snarled like a beast all the same. In a fluid motion, she dropped down, sweeping her legs to topple her opponent. She wasted no time in pouncing, plunging her blade down into his chest like a lamb to the slaughter.

The Quiet One smiled thinly, her eyes thinning into sharp crescents. "Restrain her. And keep her alive and unharmed. Should she be in any less than perfect condition…" from the corner of her eye, she glared at the pathetic, sniveling man before her, looking up at her like some kind of god.

An angry god.

"…I won't hesitate to let her hunt the lot of you down like mutts."

The man swallowed, bowing his head shakily. "Y-yes, Quiet One."

The Quiet One smiled, clapping her hands together cheerfully. "Fantastic. Bring her to me when you're done."

The man jerked his head in a nod and ran off, shouting all the while. The Quiet One remained in place a little while longer, watching the changeling girl slaughter liminals like they were an infestation to be eradicated.

Yes… she'd do nicely.

Within the pale, dark room, she flicked her hand. The crystal laced around her neck glowed a sharp pink color, and a ghoulish figure rose from inside. Its form was muddled around the edges, undefined. It could only form the vague shape of a human, shroud in shadow. Two glowing pits replaced its eyes, and a sharp, jagged slit replaced its mouth.

It moved accordingly, mindless in its task. Floating through the room, it rearranged furniture, drawing up two thick chairs on either side of her tea set. The Quiet One sat down, facing the door, and silently commanded her ghoul to make tea in the back. Times like this, she could almost tolerate the thing's presence.

Just as her kettle began to steam, the door was shoved open. The Quiet One narrowed her eyes at the loud noise disrupting her room, and the cat on her shoulder hissed, leaping out of sight. No less than four liminals, all with black sclera, forcibly dragged the changeling girl through. Their skin was torn from their flesh, sharp wounds ripping into muscle and sinew as they bled all over her nice floor. The changeling girl was unharmed, save for a thick bruise across her face.

Hm. It was acceptable. Annoying, though. She'd have preferred the changeling unharmed at all.

She flicked her hand. "Leave her."

The changeling, muzzled, growled sharply. The other four glanced between each other uncertainly. "But… Quiet One-"

"Now."

Her voice alone cast a chill over the men, and they stiffened. One jerked his head in a short bow, then led the other three out of the room. The door locked behind them.

The changeling watched them go, confusion temporarily clouding her anger. She eyed the Quiet One warily, fists clenched at her sides. They'd stripped her of her knives, and likely wrapped that vengestone so tightly around her neck that if she even thought of shifting, it would strangle her.

Perfect.

She leaned back, crossing her legs daintily. "Hello," she whispered softly. She gestured to the chair on the other side of her. "Please, sit."

Those hot red eyes glowed, and the changeling's face contorted into an ugly, angry expression. She snarled from behind her muzzle and shot forward, sharp hands poised to kill.

The Quiet One rolled her eyes with a low sigh. She flicked her hand, and at once, ghoulish hands, sharp and dripping mucky slime, curled from the stone. Dozens strong, they gripped the girl's arms, hair, legs, collar. The changeling wolf shrieked, surprised, as she was halted inches away from the Quiet One's face.

The Quiet One grinned, showing off the barest hint of her own teeth. She rose one dainty finger, and tapped the girl's muzzle. "Boop," she giggled. Those red eyes widened, probably shocked at her audacity, before the dripping hands forcibly dragged her backward. She was bodily shoved into the other chair, restrained in ghoulish claws.

She let the changeling to struggle futilely, watching her all the while. Where she'd once assumed the girl's cheeks were stained in blood, there were sharp red tattoos. Three on each cheek, like little claw marks, framing her blood-red eyes. The Quiet One could only smile wider at the sight.

They matched.

"Are you done, yet?" She asked, mostly just to see if it would annoy the other girl. She couldn't be older than 16, and was terribly pissy. Sure enough, the changeling growled, eyes flaming behind the muzzle. The Quiet One giggled at the sight.

"You caused quite the scene, down there. I saw it - you were magnificent, really." The changeling paused her struggles at the words, confused to hear her enemy complimenting her. The Quiet One betrayed no malice, leaving her own expression open and genuine.

Well, as genuine as she of all people could ever be.

She leaned forward, resting her chin in her palm. "Really, it was… wow. You know?Just, inspiring, really. You must be pretty powerful - or very well trained."

She internally snickered at her own pun. Just like a dog. I wonder how she'll fair on a leash?

The changeling kept staring, wary, but she seemed to relax ever so slightly. She kept her furred boots planted firmly on the stone floor, her arms restrained to the thin armrests of the chair. The Quiet One hummed, feigning sympathy.

"That must be uncomfortable. I am sorry - but if you keep trying to kill me, I can't release you. But, here - let me help a little."

She snapped two thin fingers. One of the hands around the changeling's upper arm rose at the silent command, twisting in the stale air. The changeling hissed, leaning as far as she could away from it. Uncaring, the long, thin claw-like fingers slowly pressed at the muzzle. It smoothly undid the straps, releasing the wolf-girl's jaw.

The changeling watched it return to position, working her jaw. The Quiet One remained silent, waiting to see how the girl would react. She turned her glare over, staring daggers into the Quiet One's eyes.

"…who are you?" The changeling rasped. She had a pretty voice, with a thick accent that curved her r's. The white wolf's ears on her head flicked.

She grinned. "The Quiet One. And you?"

The changeling hunched her shoulders, wary. But eventually, she relented. "…Akita," she mumbled.

"No last name?"

"No."

The Quiet One hummed. Her finger lazily trailed the silver design of the table between them. Akita twitched at the movement, her arms reflexively straining against the ghoulish claws that held her down. She growled quietly.

"Let me go," Akita snapped. Her shoulder jerked, trying to break free. A slender, clawed hand dug further into her clothes, breaking the fabric as it dug into her skin. Akita hissed in pain.

The Quiet One only watched. Her eyes transfixed on the pale red that pooled around the tear, slowly dying the pure white. It was a much lighter red than the blood of her victims, splattered across her front, still dripping from her mouth…

Hm. She had quite the bite, didn't she? The Quiet One wondered just how much those teeth could pierce skin. Enough to rip out a man's jugular, surely.

…who's he?

The Quiet One's eyes sparkled at the thought. "No can do, sweetheart," she whispered back cheerily, "'fraid you caused quite the ruckus. You know, if the Overlord or - oh, god forbid - the Mistress had been there…" She trailed off, letting Akita feel the discomfort, the silent threat. Then, she shrugged, as though nothing had ever been wrong at all. "Good thing I'm the one who caught you. Anyone else would be happy to throw you down a shallow grave."

Akita gave her a wary, but curious, look. She remained silent, but the Quiet One could see the way she longed to ask her question.

3….2…1….

"…why didn't you?"

Bingo.

She grinned sharply, baring her teeth like fangs. "That's just the question, isn't it?" Her fingers tapped along the silver table like stick-people doing a can-can, dramatically tip-tip-tipping on the metal. "You interest me, 'Kita. The way you fought - oh, sure, very impressive. But I want to know the why."

"Why?"

"Mm-hm!" She gave Akita a squinty, closed-eyed smile. "You've got a story, hon. Like… oh, I don't know… him?"

The single word, the eerie little taunt, immediately threw Akita into a frenzy. She snarled, jerking forward in her chair. The ghoulish claws grappled at her, tearing through fabric and underclothes and eventually even skin, but she didn't notice. Akita got as close as she possibly could to the Quiet One, close enough for her to see the blood still pooling in the changeling's mouth.

"Tell me where he is!" Akita screamed. A slender hand, skin peeling off of bone, scraped against the girl's face. Akita didn't spare it a thought. "Tell me where he is so I can rip his throat out!"

The kettle screamed.

The Quiet One scooted her chair back, standing. She didn't spare the screaming changeling another glance as she quietly walked to the back of her room, taking the kettle off the stove top. Akita continued to yell and snarl, caught up in an angry frenzy. The Quiet One simply poured two cups of tea, pouring enough sugar to kill a small child into her own.

She returned to her seat quietly, giving Akita a look. The girl's chest heaved, but she had shut up. Her teeth remained bared in a threat. She almost laughed - what could this changeling do to her?

Her enemies, on the other hand…

"Are you done yet?" She asked. She took care to make her tone amused, not cruel or patronizing. Akita growled, deep in her throat.

"Where is he."

The Quiet One crossed her legs and took a languid sip from her cup. The tea was already cooling. "Sweetheart, I can't help if I don't know who he is."

Akita blinked. "Help?"

"Of course!" She placed the second cup, a pretty red-pink color, in front of Akita. She obviously couldn't grab it, but the invitation - the intent - was clear. "Nobody fights like that unless they've been wronged. I mean… you come, storming into a liminal stronghold, murdering everyone in sight without so much as an explanation? I'm invested."

"I'm not telling you anything," Akita snapped.

"Shame," she sighed. "Because I really thought we would be able to help each other."

Akita just thinned her lips. The Quiet Oneinternally swore. This girl just had to be so stubborn…

Patience.

She gave Akita another kind smile, sympathy dripped from every pore. "I'm trying to help. Someone has to pay for that debacle downstairs, and everyone wants it to be you. But, if you just gave me something to work with, we might be able to work something out, the two us."

"Bite. Me."

The corner of her eye twitched. If she had more time for this, she could draw it out. Put the girl in a dark little cell, long enough for her to forget the passage of time as hours blurred into days. She could cement herself as the one true confidant in the changeling's life. Alas, her extended mission with the Conduit was fast approaching. If she was going to take advantage of this opportunity, she had to do so now.

How annoying.

"I don't want to hurt you," she continued to needle at Akita. Then, something clicked. She set her cup down, porcelain clicking against silver. "…but you have been hurt, haven't you?"

Akita stiffened. Her white, fluffy ears pinned themselves to her head. The Quiet One had to suppress her grin.

There it is.

She kept her face sympathetic, leaning in. She didn't like guess-work, but something told her she was right on the money.

"Changelings have two souls," she said softly, and watched as Akita's pupils shrunk, "it's what enables your shape-shifting. But it's not so simple - they're intertwined, practically a single soul all on their own. It's fascinating. But you avoid us, and we avoid you. So the only reason you would be here, in the thick of it all… is if one us hurt you first."

Akita's jaw clenched, an instinctive attempt to beat back her own tears. "Shut up! Shut up!"

"It's him, isn't it?" The Quiet One pressed. Akita was just on the verge of cracking, she only had to give the girl a nudge…

"Shut up! You don't know anything!"

The Quiet One stood, rounding the table. She leaned down next to Akita, whispering in the wolf's ear on her head.

"He's done something to someone you love. Hasn't he? What did he do? I know what it's like to be afraid of men. Tell me what he did to you - let me help."

Akita's breath hitched, once, twice. Then she broke down, head bowing in defeat as hot tears ran down her face. The Quiet One, out of sight, grinned. She cooed, leaning her hip against the chair as she cradled the changeling's head, pulling the girl into a loose embrace.

"Oh, you poor thing," she pet the coily, wild black hair as Akita sobbed and sobbed. The girl leaned into her, desperately seeking the meager comfort. It was like she'd forgotten who had her tied up in the first place.

Oh, but she was so good at it, wasn't she? It was hard for anyone to not feel soothed by a pretty, sympathetic girl, ready to provide comfort and understanding. And for Akita, to be met with someone her age, with such understanding… oh, it was just too fucking easy.

Akita sobbed into her chest as the Quiet One continued to pet her hair, smiling down at the changeling like a cat who'd caught her mouse. When Akita could barely breathe through her sobs, the Quiet One cradled her jaw, lifting her face. Her thumb skimmed over the thick bruise, pressing in ever so slightly. Just enough for Akita to feel the sting.

"You've been so hurt," she whispered. In Akita's wide eyes, she saw herself. Long, pin-straight white hair, the upper half of her face coated in thick red paint, her eyes shining against the pitch black of her sclera - a bloody angel. Her other hand, the one not pressed into Akita's bruise, came around the smooth back the sweaty hair from the girl's forehead. "Tell me how to fix it."

Akita sniffled. "My brother," she gasped wetly. Her eyes shut, like the words were just too painful. Her head leaned further into the Quiet One's chest, begging for comfort. "My brother, my- Kataru, he- he tore him apart!"

"Your brother? What was he?"

"A bear!" Akita screamed, spittle flying from her mouth. Tears mingled with snot and spit as her chest heaved again, anger and grief mingling together. Both were emotions the Quiet One was familiar with. "That- that monster, he tore him apart! He tore my brother in two, he doesn't even- doesn't recognize me anymore!"

"Oh?" The Quiet One carded her hands over the base of Akita's ears, making them twitch.

Akita slumped. "He doesn't even- he doesn't even recognize me," she whispered. Tears dripped from her jaw, landing in the growing puddle in her lap. All she could do was press herself into the Quiet One, shaking and trembling head to toe. How broken. How utterly defeated.

She hummed, still stroking the changeling. Her kind were so susceptible to physical kindness, weren't they? Oh, how fun it would be to see how far she could take it…

How pliant.

"You mean… like this?" She leaned over Akita's shoulder. The amulet around her neck slipped from the collar of her black cheongsam, hanging midair. It glowed in pink, and hot pink smoke drifted from it's core. Akita watched, wide eyed, as the figures of a human and bear took shape, entwining in each other. The Quiet One blew onto the smoke like a birthday candle, and the two figures were torn from one another. Akita's breath hitched at the sight, wide-eyed as she stared at the human figure. It bent over, clutching its head with a silent scream before it vanished, no more than simple smoke.

Akita's chest jumped. Her breathing stuttered, uneven and fractured. Then, just as the Quiet One predicted, her face contorted dramatically, fury bleeding from every pore. "where is he," she hissed, barely restrained. "Where the hell is he?!"

The Quiet One hummed, amused. She straightened, her amulet falling back against her chest. "Just give me a name, sweetheart," she cooed, clasping her hands together, "and I'll let you rip out his jugular."

Akita stared up at her, dumbfounded. The Quiet One only smiled. The changeling snarled, fangs dripping blood, "Vex."

"Perfect," the Quiet One purred. Her hand cupped the amulet. It glowed briefly, and she felt the soul slip out the room, gone to find the man. "Don't you worry, doll. I'll let you kill him. I'll let you take as long as you want to do it."

She hummed to herself, slowly walking around the room in big, dramatic steps, hands clasped behind her back. Akita watched her like a hawk. The Quiet One spun in a slow, wide circle as she fell back into her desk, kicking one hand over the other, as casual and open as you please. Her hand swiped up a thin polaroid of the Conduit, sitting in his desk at school, bent over a book with his headphones on. The angle of the picture was taken from below, snapped by a phone under a desk.

"If," she said, spinning the polaroid around so Akita could see its star, "you help me in return."

Akita leaned back. She was no longer angry with the Quiet One - if anything, the promise of revenge had endeared her to the changeling. "…help you?" She asked warily.

"Mm-hm!" She chirped. "See, I need to get this boy. Very powerful, so the Overlord and Mistress need him for some plan or another-" as if she didn't know exactly what the Conduit would be used for, as if she hadn't slaved away for it her entire fucking life, "-I won't bore you with the details. Trouble is, it's all on me. The planning, the execution - so much work! But, if you help me…" she trailed off, leaving the floor open for Akita's questions.

"…why?"

She snickered. "Because, little pup, if you do, I won't just let you kill Vex… I'll Bind him."

Akita's eyes flashed. "Bind?"

"I'll tether his dead soul to an object." she plucked a pen from her desk, twirling it between her fingers. "And give it to you. You'll get to torture him forever, and he'll never die, and he'll never escape."

She could see the hunger in Akita's eyes, the raw thirst for revenge. She was so, so close… maybe just one final push.

Akita's eyes flicked back and forth, clearly torn. "But… he's just a- a person-"

The Quiet One waved her off. "Oh, we won't hurt him! The Conduit has unfettered access to the Veil. Someone so powerful, someone who's only born once a century tops… sweetheart, he'll be worshipped. I'm going to bring him from a lonely little nobody," she released the polaroid, letting it flutter to the floor. She stepped off the desk, crushing the polaroid beneath her shoe. "-to divine."

Akita bit her lip. "…but…"

One more push. Just a tease.

"And, you know," she cut Akita off, tapping her chin, "someone so powerful… with enough experience - that's where you come in - he could even put your brother back together."

Akita's eyes widened, snapping up to her. Those pinprick irises, the sweat and blood coating her, the wild hair in her face - Akita was the picture of desperate.

Desperate, and obsessed.

"Fix him?" She whispered, transfixed. The Quiet One giggled, scooping up her pretty porcelain tea cup. She took a sip, relishing the way Akita didn't so much as blink, completely and utterly focused solely on her.

She sighed as she set the cup back down. "Yep," she popped the p, "Good as new. Just like that." Her two fingers snapped. Akita blinked.

For a long, long moment, the chamber was silent. Akita's face was bathed in hellish purple glow from the windows, making her appear ghostly in her blood-stained white clothes. Blood dribbled from the red claw marks in her cheeks, almost as though they were open wounds in her skin.

The Quiet One's eyes narrowed pleasantly at the sight. They even matched.

"Come on, Akita. One little boy, and Brother Bear comes home."

Then, jerkily, Akita nodded. "Yes," she gasped, "yes, yes, yes."

The Quiet One shrieked with a giggle, unable to contain herself. She was at Akita's side in a second, snatching up her jaw and forcing those red eyes to meet her own. Her nail pressed into Akita's split bottom lip, breaking the thin skin. Blood pooled immediately, seeping into her own paper-white skin.

She leaned in until their noses were practically touching. "Give me your name," she whispered. Akita swallowed.

"I- I did."

"No," she giggled. Her lips grew wide in a wolfish smile, stretching far across her cheeks - too far. "Your True Name. The secret one."

Akita recoiled, but the Quiet One's hand held her in place. "But-"

"A contract," she said, "I have to abide by the contract."

Akita swallowed, but gave no protest. The Quiet One trailed a sharp nail down the contours of the changeling's face. "You'll do as I say," she purred, "with no hesitation. You will follow my orders, and abide by my wishes. You will be mine. And when we have the Conduit, and he has fulfilled my needs, I'll have him fix Brother Bear. Then, you will be released."

Akita breathed slowly through her nose. Her throat bobbed as she stared into the Quiet One's eyes. Then, eyes shining through tear tracks, she nodded. "I agree," she whispered.

Just like that. Her entire life, signed away with two little words.

The Quiet One snapped two fingers, and the slender hands released Akita, retreating back into the stone floors. Akita flexed her arms, and the Quiet One released her jaw. Akita beckoned for her to lean in. Ever-so-quietly, she whispered into her ear, the True Name of a fae flowing from red lips dyed in blood.

The connection was immediate. Just as the last syllable passed her lips, a shining red collar appeared around Akita's neck. It tightened against dark skin, settling firmly. There was no clasp, no strap to remove it.

All mine.

The Quiet One stood up straight, satisfied. What a wonderful opportunity that had stumbled across her path. Yes, this would be so much better. Instead of trying to keep up the charade as Garmadon Junior's best friend, his stalker, his 'enemy' in the dark of night… she would have Akita do it. The changeling would play the part of mysterious villain, would coax the Conduit's powers to the surface.

She pat Akita on the head. "Good dog."

Akita bent her head, teeth glinting. "You promised I could kill him."

The Quiet One giggled, practically prancing across the room to the iron door. "And you will, puppy."

She opened the door with a flourish. Akita's snarl ripped through the air, and on a whim, the Quiet One flicked her hand. Amazingly, Akita fell silent. Incredible. Her orders didn't even need to be audible.

A pale man with greasy sideburns and a handlebar mustache greeted her. He was over a foot taller, but bowed to her all the same. Simpering little coward.

The Quiet One watched him through thin, crescent moon eyes as he straightened back up. "Quiet One," he said reverently, pressing his hand to his chest. He stepped inside the room, and the iron door banged shut behind him. The Quiet One flicked her hand again, and a barely-visible spirit locked it. "You called for me?"

She knew his type. Little men with littler appendages, stewing in their own inflated sense of self-importance. Like she'd said - simpering coward.

She clasped her hand behind her back. "Vex," she said. None of the kindness or amusement she'd spent on Akita colored her voice. She cocked her head like a bird, as though curious. "Riddle me this: which one of us has the eternal, unshaking favor of the Overlord and Mistress?"

Vex blinked. He stammered, averting his gaze. "Q-Quiet One, what-"

"Answer the question."

Vex swallowed. "You, Quiet One."

She cocked her head to the other side. "And which one of us… is in charge, here?"

"Y-you are, Quiet One," Vex responded again. She hummed, rocking on her heels girlishly.

"Exactly. And, which one of us has the power to kill you at any moment, with zero consequences whatsoever?" Her teeth gleamed.

Vex's eyes widened, and he stepped back with a nervous laugh. "Quiet One, if I've somehow misstepped-"

"Answer the fucking question."

Vex froze. "…y-you do, Quiet One."

She grinned sharply, fangs glinting purple light. "Wrong!" She said cheerily. "She does."

She stepped to the side, releasing Akita from her order. Immediately, a gigantic wolf leapt past her, barreling into Vex. The man only had time to scream, futilely blocking his face, before the snarling wolf ripped into him.

The Quiet One cackled, shrieking with mad laughter as the screams of the damned and the wails of a girl wronged filled the chamber. Ghouls and spirits clawed their way from the floor, drawn to the frenzy of blood and gore. Akita shifted, back and forth, digging into Vex. Her claws found their way into his ribcage, tearing at bone and snapping, treating the bloody white bones like blades to stab and mutilate with. Her wolf's teeth clamped around his jugular, ripping and tearing until pained screams became desperate bloody gurgles.

The Quiet One laughed and laughed, draping herself over her large, ornate desk. She hummed a giggly tune to Vex's pain, to Akita's snaps and snarls and cries. Two fingers held the image of Lloyd Garmadon, asleep in his own bed.

"Oh, Conduit," she breathed, enraptured in the image. Hearts practically pulsed in her pink eyes, obsession filling her chest. "This is going to be so fun."

She giggled again, falling back into her chair and kicking her feet up on the desk, crossing them at the ankle. Her cat appeared from some dark corner, winding around her neck. She absently scratched it, closing her eyes and listening to the gore taking place only a few feet away.

Finally, after a long minute of Vex's gurgles and thrashing slowly dying down, they fell silent. A bang shook the desk, and the Quiet One cracked an eye open. Akita held Vex's corpse by the neck, chest heaving. Blood and tissue caked her mouth, splattered across her skin. Her clothes were more red than white, the stain of blood growing. She had Vex's desecrated face pressed down into the desk.

The man's eyes were still open, glassy and dripping blood of their own. His face was torn, skin sloughing off the muscle and bones. Bits of brain splattered his greasy hair. His throat, especially, was ripped practically in two, as though Akita had attempting to behead him. Tissue spilled out from the wound, splattered across her desk. Already, the body stunk of rot.

Akita's teeth were bared, showing off the fresh blood. "Bind him," she demanded, "I'm not done."

The Quiet One lifted her hand, and a pitch black leash extended from the loop of Akita's collar. She wrapped it around her hand and tugged, jerking Akita forward until they were practically touching.

It was a show. A show of what Akita had signed up for - of just who she belonged to. An attack dog, leashed down, to be sent after whoever she wished.

"You'll have your fun," she whispered. Her lips stretched into a wide, wide smile, the corners of her mouth reaching too far up her cheeks. She bared her own large teeth in the imitation of a smile.

Only one of them had a wolf's teeth, and it wasn't the girl with blood caking her mouth.

(Or, well. Blood was in her mouth as well.)

With her other hand, she dipped into Vex's mutilated neck, She cleanly scooped up bloody muscle - a vocal cord - and slipped the bloody mess past her own rips. Blood dribbled down her chin, splattering on the desk beneath her. Akita's eyes widened at the casual cannibalism.

Oh, she could feel herself falling for this dog already.

"Don't bite the hand that feeds you, mutt."

harumi, vangelis, and brad for the character thingy ??? idk what its called 😭😭

YIPPIE!

HARUMI (i use any pronuns for her btw mostly they/she)

how i feel about this character:

OH MY GOD I LOVE HARUMI. i have many feelings regarding them, oh so many. they are an amazingly writen villain esp for a female character (cuz we all know how ninjago tends to write female characters). She's so fun and EVIL! I love me a truly soaked by hatred character!!!!

All the people i ship romantically with this character:

I don't have many harumi ships, only two - i like to dapple in waterjade (coastyreef infected me, if you see this hi:3) and in harumi x seliel because of fucking course what did you expect... i like to call them alteregoshipping. for waterjade i feel like nya and harumi are simply a great pairing and so many fun things can be done with them (once again mentioning coastyreef, you should def go check out their work its amazing) and for alterego its just very self indulgent and for an au of my own. if youd like me to talk about it lmk but its not finished yet

my non-romantic OTP with this character:

I'd have to go with mr e/echo... or... im not sure. i mentioned this b4 but ninjago fandom is the first fandom space ive trully interacted with and i havent really met with the term otp before but i suppose it doesnt account for dynamics between two characters? cuz if it does i have to go with harumi and lloyd. I DON'T SHIP THEM! I REALLY DON'T LIKE LLORUMI AS A SHIP I LITERALLY HAVE THAT TAG BLOCKED but i so find their relationship extremely cool. like they hate him so bad they want him dead but they got him wrapped around their finger yk what i mean. might do a different post just talking about them

My unpopular opinion about the character:

trans harumi is GOOD esp nonbinary and trans man harumi and it does not equal errasing a female character. im a trans harumi defender and believer

One thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

I wish we saw harumi write in their journal (Garmadon Rulez) in the show and i also wish she got more screentime in hunted

VANGELIS:

i have to be honest here i tried answering those questions with him for a solid ten minutes before realizing all my answers were literally "i never think of him im sorry" 😭🙏 sorry to dissapoint he just never crosses my mind 💔 i do like his relationship with vania though :3

BRAD:

How i feel about this character:

he's cute!!! he doesnt have many on screen apperances after the one darskley episode in i think season two? but i literally grew up on season two so i like him<3

All the characters i ship them with:

Lloyd only... He also doesnt really cross my Mind but i do find greenflower to be a super cute ship. I was actually looking at some greenflower fanart when i got this ask from you LOLL

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

Prolly lloyd also! they seem like they would be good childhood friends:]

My unpopular opinion about this character:

I don't really get the appeal of him💔

What i wish happened / would happen to this character in canon:

I wish he got more screentime after season two! Re-inteoducing him now would be a little akward imo so i think the best time to have brought him back was like season 4 (if there were any lose and slice of life episodes there...)

Sorry if this has any spelling or formatting mistakes, after typing everything for harumi i stopped checking LOLLL i had to type this on mobile💔💔💔💔

[nyaskitten]

Movieverse Morro'd rule so fucking hard....

movie morro au where morro is literally a fucking criminal in juvie. it’s bad enough that lloyds the son of garmadon, his cousin is considered a mastermind escape artist who might be a high ranking gang member and has never gotten caught for a solid 3 years. no one knows how he does it. it’s like the air itself assists him in escaping

[nonbinarykai]

Okay you know what, I’ve held this back far enough

Why I hate canon Kailor sm

Tw:// misogyny ment, incest ment

Im not gonna tag Kailor on this for obvious reasons plus this is kinda a long post, I don’t mind fanon Kailor mostly because tbh I don’t think it’s really a big thing and most I have seen of it is fine. Don’t read this if you like Kailor and don’t want to hear it bashed

Okay listen, s4 is my favorite season out of all ninjago, but if theres one thing I hate about it the most is Kailor. This ship has always been really annoying to me throughout the show, and I’ve hinted towards that in my blog. But why?

1. It’s basically jaya redone

Kailor brings nothing new or interesting to the table because honestly? It’s literally just the same dynamic as jaya. Socially awkward guy simps for usually unimpressed girl until she eventually caves in and they start dating.

Not only has this already been done before with jaya, but is also completely out of character for Kai to do.

While I admit seeing Kai as a flustered dork is kinda funny, once you realize the context of the situation that they’re in it’s pretty clear that Kai would never actually do this.

Reminder: Kai JUST found out his dead friend is alive and is forced to recognsizle with friends in order to get him back

Usually when Kai is presented in a situation like this, what he normally does is set himself dead first on the task at hand and usually ignores any distractions. He’s mostly distance and seemingly uncaring

((note this is after Zane died and Kai ran away from the ninja because of cole and jays bickering, knowing him he wouldn’t be the most excited to be back. His arc should have revolved around coming to terms with lost friendships due to death or distance but that never happens)).

What Kai DOESNT do is immediately fall head over heels for a girl he JUST meet to the point where even when he sees his DEAD FRIEND ALIVE AND WELL he completely ignores that for a girl he meet less then a week ago

This is something JAY would do, not KAI, Kai is a loyal friend who do anything to save his friends, he cherishes them and would fight god to help them with anything they need, he doesn’t forget them for someone new

It also does skylor unjustice as well, but we’ll get there when we get there

2. It adds nothing to the characters and is otherwise never mention again

You know how bad you fuck up a relationship if the best aspect of it is how it’s rarely on screen

Even considering the fact Kailor is just jayas dynamic, the connection between skylor and Kai feels completely non existent or one sided

Most of Kailor revolves around Kai simping for skylor

They have no common interests, common goals, they rarely actually talk outside of lloyds plan to overthrow chen

The whole relationship feels forced every time it’s brought up because of how disconnected they both are to eachother, Kai only likes skylor because she’s hot and that’s it, nothing else about her is actually interesting to Kai in anyway ((again sort out of character for him in this situation))

Skylor and Kai don’t form any genuine bond with eachother, it feels hallow and empty

Let’s compare this to lava, wait no that would be to easy, let’s compare this to pixane

Pixal and Zane both genuinely like and respect eachother, they both share bonds outside of being robots, they both care about eachother enough to know when they’re uncomfortable or need help

Kailor is barely mentioned past s4 and most of it in s4 is Kai being a creep

Oh yeah let’s get to that

3. It’s really really creepy

Im sorry I don’t find incest jokes funny ninjago, it’s just really uncomfortable and creepy

Hopefully this goes without saying but Kai thinking skylor is hot, figuring out they might be related and no longer finding her hot, and then finding out they aren’t and thinking she’s hot is really weird and creepy

Not to mention scenes like, Kai looking into her room without her knowledge or consent

Or Kai fighting people for her when it’s not necessary

Or him trying to impress her everytime he sees her

This isn’t cute or funny, it’s gross, privacy invading, and overall just very creepy and uncomfortable and most definitely not healthy

Again, this is REALLY out of character for Kai, Kai knows when to back off and respect people’s privacy

Literally the season before this he didn’t get involved in the love triangle probably because he knew that would make Nya’s situation worse

So for him to suddenly become this privacy evading perv is so grossly out of character for him and makes the whole relationship feel off and unhealthy

And finally

4. The whole thing is misogynistic

During this entire thing skylor doesn’t get a choice in the show once, she follows the commands of her dad before Kai tells her not to like her dad and follows his lead.

She doesn’t come to disliking her dad by her own thought, she was told to by Kai

She doesn’t get to do anything that SHE actually wants to do until LITERALLY the VERY END

She’s told by guys around her what she should do constantly, even without her being a love interest that’s just screams misogynistic to me ((Afab speaking anyways))

Everything about her character, down to the way she talks, who she’s allied with, and even sometimes how she looks is determined by male characters

Conclusion

If canon ships were shrek movies then kailor is easily shrek the third, a constant tired unfunny mess that caused everyone to think that these ships were shit ((to be fair Jaya is kinda bad to but at least it tired to get better))

There’s nothing redeeming about it to me, every time it’s viewed in a romantic setting it makes me groan or upset

What’s even more frustrating is how people constantly say lava can’t be canon because of it

Im going to go on a side tangent so you can just skip this part as it doesn’t add any actual substance to my argument

But it’s so frustrating to see people say that

Cole and Kai have had a much healthier relationship and would be a lot better for there characters

But no, this stupid misogynistic creepy ship where one side isn’t even consententing to it half the time is the one that has to stay canon because “it’s what the creators intended”

Lava isn’t the superior possibly canon relationship because it’s gay, it’s superior because it’s closer to a healthy working relationship in show then kailor has been ((fanon lava and kailor doesn’t count here because they’re isn’t any better fanon ship, Im just talking about in show))

But no it can’t be canon and it’s unfair for people to want it to be canon because tommy created this rlly shitty straight relationship for Kai instead

TLDR; fuck kailor

[cyrusbugged]

My angst cup is getting low. I need a refill, please. Say he still gets banished in season 4 but successfully rescued in season 5. Got any headcanons on Garm's time in the Cursed Realm?

im gonna start tagging you guys as the angst anons because anons only send me angst request

(not a bad thing, just find it funny)

anyway, back from work, awoken from the nap, back to the grind 😏

warnings for angst, brief mentions of starving, and a bit of hallucination

- so lloyd is able to break the chains and get garm out of the cursed realm without it going to shit

- however, although garm seemed he was doing okay when lloyd spoke to him, he absolutely was not

- the chains being on his wrists for so long caused terrible pains once they finally came off

- his arms were also super sore considering the fact he was chained in the same position for months on end

- he doesn’t even really know how long he was there, considering time moved very weird there

- and he always seemed so,,, weary

- he lost his sense of time, since time moves slower in the cursed realm

- he barely slept and didn’t really talk about what happened there

- misako finally got him to open up a few months after he came back

- when he first was sent there, he barely got a chance to process what was happening before he was grabbed and chained up

- he was constantly taunted by ghosts. they had all heard of the powerful lord garmadon who was the most evil ruler in all of ninjago, and mocked how he became good and sacrificed himself for the good of the place he wanted to take over

- of course, sticks and stones may break his bones, but being constantly berated by ghosts slowly began to pry at his mental health.

- time in the cursed realm moved way slower than in ninjago. you know those days where it feels like 3pm and you check the time and it’s not even noon yet? that’s exactly how it feels there

- people banished to the cursed realm really don’t have to eat, cause the rules are kinda different there

- so when garm comes back he’s plagued with really bad stomach pains

- he didn’t really sleep too much, either. it got so bad to the point where he’d start hallucinating his family due to the lack of sleep

- he’d hallucinate lloyd so much that when lloyd actually came to save him, he didn’t know if it was real or not until the kid hugged him

- he has nightmares about his experiences

dude is just goin thru it. somebody give him a hug :(

[fisherrprince]

AS LONG AS IM YELLING ABOUT AUS! GUESS WHAT LORE POST I FINISHED

LOUDLY AND OBNOXIOUSLY CLEARS THROAT.

This is a long post about Avatar and Ninjago and it mostly contains story!!! Because some! Of! This! Setup! Is! RIGHT there!!! And I like it very much. I’m sorry it doesn’t have many pictures! I do not control my right hand, but I do control how much I can yap about avatar and ninjago. READMOREではある

Our story begins with Kai and Nya, because they’re dramatic and I love them.

Kai and Nya are siblings, currently traveling on their own around the world with their not-actually-their-uncle-or-grandpa, Garmadon. Because Wu doesn’t get to be Iroh, even though I have to give up Garmadad for it — don’t worry he immediately adopts Lloyd once he meets him.

Kai and Nya used to live in the Fire Nation, emphasis on the used to, because while Kai is a firebender, Nya is a waterbender. She started displaying waterbending abilities at 12, and 12 is not a great age for control. And they could only have gotten the two distinct bending styles from their parents, blacksmiths in the royal courts, so in an act of political trash-fire-ness, Lord Chen finds this out thanks to royal jerkwad Clouse. You Know. Fire Lord Chen.

(Kai challenges him, in a fit of protective anger, to what is supposed to be a clean agni kai, but someone cheats. He actually can’t see all that well out of his right eye, anymore)

And Chen being who he is, he brands them all as traitors, presumably killing their parents, allowing the children only one lifeline to regain their honor (and home, and life, and—), and that’s to find the missing Avatar. You know, the one who’s been gone for a hundred years? Silly, impossible task, meant to get rid of them.

So they do.

Meanwhile, by which I mean a hundred years before this, Lloyd is happy. Really happy! Their temple is sweet and calm and brimming with life, he’s being taught by (his absolute favorite) the monk Wu, and he keeps being happy until he’s told, one day, the whole village is told, actually, that he is supposed to be this great and powerful being. This incredibly godlike human boy, with the power of destruction and creation at his fingertips, and though he doesn’t want to be, the title of Avatar is given to him and most everything else Is taken from him.

He’s scared, now. Mostly.

And you know the story — terrified of the choices made for him, of his own destiny, he traps himself by complete accident for a century, until…

Kai and Nya do find the Avatar. Traveling near the water tribes (dangerous, but theirs is not a fire nation ship)

And he’s… small. Admittedly.

Uuuuunlike his very large flying companion.

(Did I mention flying bison gets swapped with an energy dragon? Wind dragon? Very, very tied between naming the dragon Morro and naming her something less angry. Like Skittles :P)

Lloyd reminds Nya of a puppy. He reminds Kai that their entire lives hinge on bringing back (to his death) bringing (killing) this one, scrawny little kid. It’s so, so easy, and though they’re outwardly nice, they both know what has to be done. Until…

Listen.

Lloyd is made of light. He radiates power, sure, but he radiates confidence and happiness and surety and it will be okay and morning runs along the beach and warming up by the fireplace and… he… has this infuriating ability to shine straight through the cracks made of doubt in your heart.

Kai doesn’t think he can do it, after a while. After seeing how his life got torn apart, after getting one too many cautious smiles and getting into one too many silly and only slightly dangerous situations that end in a hug, of all things, the twins agree. There is no way they’re taking Lloyd back to the Fire Lord.

So they don’t.

The’re different. They’ve traveled, they’ve learned, Garmadon is so proud of their growth he takes them out to the best tea they’ve ever had (which is weird because Lloyd always thought it was just leaf water) and they think that maybe they have a purpose again.

They want to help Lloyd take down Lord Chen.

Along the way, they pick up a lot more stray puppies.

Jay’s not supposed to be in the Earth Kingdom, but there he is! They’d probably kill him if they ever found out he was a Fire Nation refugee, because that whole concept reeks of suspicious. Which is why he hardly ever bends (and when he does, it’s not firebending it’s lightningbending) and keeps his handy-dandy best friend earth bending buddy with him.

And Jay has wanted to do something about *gestures* … all this, for forever. Incredibly nervous and constantly fiddling with some sort of tiny contraption as he is, he’s willing to tag along with the group. He’s the one who convinces Cole, probably the only Earthbending teacher they’re going to find, to come with. Cole is very, very apprehensive, because this is very dangerous, particularly for… actually everyone in the party. This is just very very dangerous. But Cole always wants to help, and after some shenanigans, begins to teach the young Avatar earthbending.

So things are like! Great, right! You got all the elements. Except like… that’s it. That’s basically handing a kid a glock and telling them to murder this one specific dude but giving them no other info. Research would… be nice. Probably.

Lucky for everyone stumbling into this yokai library, Zane is a researcher! And not a teenager, though 20 is barely not-a-teenager territory. He’s been in the library for years real-time, a couple weeks to his perception, but he’s learned so much. And he actually doesn’t super want to leave until he realizes its a very dangerous time-sinky place to be, and he can always come back. Besides, he was always taught to help those who can’t help themselves, and helping save the whole world from the Fire Nation is kind of top of that list, huh! FRIEND: GAINED

(How convenient!)

And the SIX of them go off and have ADVENTURES and TRAVEL and DO ELEMENTAL THINGS and SOMEONE SHOULD BE BUMI BUT IDK WHO, and the mailman is the cabbage seller, and Skylor isn’t Azula even tho I love Azula Skylor is like more of a Mai character, but Pixal is there too, I haven’t figured too much out but anyways Garmadon is Iroh and that’s the only thing you need to know. Lol

[calypsolemon]

Your recent wu post reminded me of something that people probably wouldn’t notice anyways but I’m gonna say it. I used to tag things with wu in it as Sensei Wu but now I just tag it with Wu. That literal piece of on fire trash doesn’t deserve the title of Sensei. ‘There’s something I haven’t told you’ my foot. Not to mention all the literal hell he puts everyone through. Lloyd’s prophecy, Nya NEEDS to be a water ninja now. He’s still bearable but only just. Sorry for the rant.

lmao im gonna die this is so strongly worded but yr right

I will say Wu sucks as like, a person, but as a character I actually have a lot of headcanons and analysis as to why he is the way he is and, in some ways, I actually relate to his position in life due to some of my own past aligning quite a bit with his. 

Wu is really an excellent example of someone who was born with a lot of responsibility placed on his shoulders with very little room for deviation from his destined path, and with the guidance of a parent who didn’t exactly come from a loving and secure environment himself. He is, essentially, a gifted child who is religiously homeschooled by an emotionally neglectful parent. This really shows in the way he conducts his own teachings throughout the series. He is unwavering loyal to his father’s cause and beliefs despite them honestly being… wrong many times, up to and including the supposed predestined “evilness” present in his own brother. He sees nothing wrong with pushing literal children into the destiny he perceives for them because his own father raised him as such. His “wisdom” is often cookie-cutter and barely relevant because they are likely repeated verbatim from his father’s teachings but he lacks the proper experience to apply them. And I think the chronic hiding of information is symptomatic of his fear of his past failures, pushing his conflicts onto the next generation instead of facing his mistakes in any way that doesn’t put him squarely as the righteous party, in much the same way he was put in charge of the fate of the broken world his father left him.

Basically Wu is a character that illustrates the cyclical nature of trauma and abuse inflicted from parent to child when looked at in the right light. It’s just unfortunate that the show really insists that Wu and his father remain near flawless beings within the canon of the show. I don’t think Wu is an irredeemably bad person or character but the glaring issues he’s had throughout the series largely remain unchallenged and unaddressed, which is a damn shame since it’s a goldmine for character development just waiting to be tapped.

Anyways that’s probably more reading than you expected for an ask shitting on wu, tl;dr wu is shitty but boy would it be compelling if the show actually acknowledged it

[jessi-does-fandoms]

A new beginning:

An OC story

Chapter 1

The streets of Ninjago city were pretty quiet, it was a rather normal day nothing out of the ordinary. It had been at least three months since Ninjago was in serious danger so it was back to the old grind for all citizens. Two young ladies however were about to have their lives changed forever.

Io and Jessi had been all over Ninjago for a few years now they didn’t have a permanent residence they just stayed where they could and moved on. The two had met a while back, both of them had set off to find their purpose in life, leaving behind their families in search of a more independent life. Jessi grew up in a small town on the outskirts of ninjago city a small but successful farming community. Her father owned a large area for cattle, she also had her mother and older sister. After years of dealing with family arguments specifically her parents constantly yelling at each other and other personal reasons Jessi decided she needed to leave her small town to a more healthy environment. As for Io, She grew up outside Ninjago city as well but later moved closer to the city. Her mother worked at the hospital and her dad was the one to take care of her, she soon decided it was time to go out on her own.

The two had met during a city evacuation while Ninjago was under attack some years back, it seemed to be a rather common occurrence Ninjago under attack by some villain one worse than the last, the heroic ninja who the citizens all rely on come in and save everyone in and out nice and easy, sometimes. Jessi and Io really didn’t pay much attention to these heroes, they were too busy on their own journey writing their own history, no time to really cheer on these guys for being anime wannabes. They didn’t hate them or anything, they just weren’t all that familiar with them is all. Io thought they were pretty cool, her favorite being the legendary green ninja otherwise known as Lloyd Garmadon.

Jessi on the other hand she didn’t really care much she would just push their existence aside, her father never liked elemental masters she never knew exactly why but anytime the ninja were mentioned on the news her dad would complain and call them freaks, saying the world wouldn’t be the way it is if they had never existed. Anytime Jessi would ask her father why he’s so against them he would only yell at her causing her to remain quiet. Sometimes Jessi wished she could have some sort of elemental power, she didn’t like the bland boring life on the farm or being expected to be “normal”.

“So how far into the city do you think we are now?” Io was looking at the surrounding buildings trying to pinpoint where exactly she and Jessi were in ninjago city. Jessi looked around a bit, she wasn’t exactly sure. The city had been destroyed and rebuilt so many times it’s hard to really tell. “do you have a map?” Io suddenly remembered she did have a map and proceeded to figure out where they were. “Ok we should be near town hall, across from the library.” She looked around noticing that most of the buildings around them were mostly office type buildings. Jessi looked at the map and noticed the year it was printed. “Io this map is like three years old. This damn city has been attacked at least twice since then.” Io had realized her mistake as she had forgotten to get a new map after Ninjago’s last attack. “Guess we’ll just have to ask for directions to the nearest hotel.” Jessi wasn’t very fond of speaking to strangers even if it is just asking for directions.

“Hey you two stop right there!” Two officers approach the girls, they weren’t sure what they wanted but they knew better than to disobey an officer. “I swear I’m not a missing child I’m almost 21!” Jessi was constantly mistaken as a child due to her rather young appearance she only assumed these guys were gonna think she was some teenage girl who ran off with their boyfriend. “We’re not looking for a missing child. Miss are you aware that you gave money to Ninjago’s most wanted theif?” Jessi and Io were in complete shock about two hours ago when they got into the city they saw a scruffy middle aged man sitting on the ground just looking like he was down on his luck so they gave him some money. They had no idea he was a wanted criminal. “We thought he was homeless!” “Yeah, we had no idea he was a criminal!”

The girls tried their best to get out of this situation, they didn’t wanna spend a night in the slammer. The officers didn’t seem to take their story too lightly. “How do we know you’re not in Kahoots with him?” At this point the two were starting to feel offended, all they did was give what they thought was a homeless man some money. It’s not like he was wearing a tag that says “hello im a wanted criminal”. It was just a simple mistake and since when was it illegal to give a criminal money anyway?! Is it illegal?? At this point nothing was making sense Jessi was starting to have an anxiety attack and Io continued to try explaining that this was all just a simple mistake.

As the officers were attempting to handcuff the girls Jessi started getting a really bad headache and started screaming, then one of the officers started screaming about seeing something in front of him but there wasn’t even anything there. Io and the first officer were still arguing until Jessi started screaming!

“MAKE IT STOP! MAKE THE PAIN STOP! MAKE IT ALL GO AWAY!” The other officer was now cowering in the corner a good few citizens had come over to see what was going on and they were in shock and fear as to what was happening in front of them, Jessi screaming and holding her head in pain while one officer is screaming in fear at something no one else can see while Io and the other officer are standing there arguing.

The first officer then realizes what’s happening to his partner and he calls for backup. About ten minutes later five more officers as well as paramedics arrive on scene. Three of the officers manage to restrain Jessi and handcuff Io while a paramedic tends to the terrified officer. “HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE IT?! IT’S RIGHT THERE DAMN IT! IT’S GONNA KILL US!” The paramedics did their best to calm down the officer, it took some time but they finally got him calm enough to explain the situation.

Jessi was also being checked out by paramedics her screams were that of bloody murder and they were very concerned, she didn’t seem to be calming down instead she was lashing out not wanting anyone to touch her. Io simply watched in horror as her friend acted so harsh to the people trying to help her. The officers and paramedics gave Jessi a sedative to make her more calm and quiet so they could check for any injuries. “Does she have any history with drug paraphernalia? Any cocaine, meth or LSD? Io simply shook her head, in the years she’s known Jessi she hasn’t had any sort of desire for drugs. “She’s never been the type to use drugs but she does have prescribed medication for anxiety.” Io grabbed the pill bottle from Jessi’s bag and gave to the officers. Today was gonna be long day.

[ghopera]

until i get a theme made, here are some rules below the readme that i’ll be using!! u can go ahead and like this if u read my rules tho, i’d rlly appreciate it !! <3

INTRO.

hello !!! this is a highly selective & independent rp blog for webber-based phantom from the phantom of the opera ! i do not own or associate myself with leroux or webber’s works, nor am i associated with ramin karimloo or the royal albert hall or any of that sorta stuff. i’m just some gay on the internet roleplaying as erik. don’t follow me if you’re homophobic, transphobic, racist, radfem, or any of that crunchy stuff. i also tend to swear a LOT ooc so if you’re uncomfortable with that just hmu and i’ll tag it!! i’m a native english speaker (american) and have skills in intermediate latin spanish, and i am currently learning icelandic on the side.

i will add to my rules as i see fit, as i reserve the right to do so, since this is my blog.

BASICS.

if you don’t know what it means for me to be highly selective and independent, it means that (a) i only interact with mutuals on this blog (mutual being a person that i follow and that person follows me in return) and even then, i’m pretty selective with who i interact with for my own sake of being comfortable and (b) independent meaning that i am not associated with any roleplay groups and i’m pretty much on my own. please don’t feel offended if i don’t follow you back! most of the time, it’s because i want to keep a clean dashboard, but other times it may be because i don’t think our muses will mesh well, i can’t get behind your writing style, i don’t know jack-squat about your muse/fandom/media, etc. plus, i have a huge bias for irl fc characters; i doubt i’ll be interacting with cartoon/anime characters on this blog. don’t bring up the animated poto movie please for the love of god

other roleplay basics inserted here, i.e. no godmodding, anon hate, etc. pretty self explanatory stuff. if you don’t know what godmodding means, it refers to forcing actions onto your roleplay partner’s muse without prior consent ooc, for example, shooting a character with a gun without giving the muse the ability to react and/or not asking the mun if it’s okay. i’m very picky about powerplay, the unrealistic domination of another character’s abilities, and overstepping the bounds of realism of the particular universe in which a thread takes place, and in my case, late 1800′s france. if you have any doubts, please ask me!

GRAPHICS. 

100% of the graphics i use on this blog are made by me using screencaps of the 25th anniversary rendition of POTO, stock images, and vectors made by myself. i make my own psds and do not use templates. please, for the love of god, don’t steal my graphics. i will personally hunt you down and do unspeakable cannibalistic things to your body. all jokes aside, i really don’t appreciate my stuff being stolen from me, considering it has happened before. 

PORTRAYAL.

this blog is based 99.99% on andrew lloyd webber’s interpretation of the phantom through the musical, specifically the 25th anniversary edition featuring ramin karimloo as erik/the phantom, and a tiny little bit of influence of leroux’s original novel. i haven’t completely read the novel and i have neglected reading kay’s phantom. i will only portray erik through webber’s canon as it’s the interpretation i’m most familiar with and most comfortable writing. in this case, the persian is not a canon character in this interpretation, and i apologize.

i also must mention that on this blog, love never dies is not canon. absolutely not. i despise the characterization and a large majority of the development of this shitty excuse for a sequel. it’s basically fanfiction with a high budget.

as many roleplay blogs go, a lot of my portrayal of erik will be based upon my own headcanon. the faceclaim i will use for erik is ramin karimloo.

TRIGGERS. 

a LOT of triggering content will be on this blog. mentions of abuse will be made, and themes of murder, manipulation, and overall shitty illegal behavior will be present here. a ton of depressive and mental illness-esque themes will be present as well.i will tag them as “// [trigger]” without the brackets and the quotation marks. for my own triggers, i would appreciate if you would tag: flying insects & heavy emotional, physical, and sexual abuse (especially from that of a romantic partner). thank you !!

SHIPPING. 

i’m very selective with shipping with erik. though erik/christine is my main otp with erik, i will not auto-ship with every christine that i want to interact with or vice-versa. even if i do ship with any christines on this blog, i would still appreciate ooc or a shitton of ic development because erik isn’t a pleasant person and is incredibly damaged and inexperienced. he has done some incredibly horrible things and by extension, could be considered a shitty person by some. because of this, like i said, i would appreciate a lot of development. plus, erik is already pretty hard to love, so there’s that. 

another note: i don’t ship raoul/erik. it just doesn’t work in my opinion and the romantic chemistry isn’t there at all. my erik has a preference for women and i highly doubt i’ll be shipping him with anyone other than women. i’m sorry if you’re disappointed with this!

smut nsfw will not take place on this blog. though erik and i are both legally of age, i don’t feel comfortable with publicly rping this on tumblr. i would prefer if anything like this takes place on discord, which i will openly provide to selective mutuals!

MUN.

hi!! i’m mads and i go by any pronouns (she/he/they)! i’m pretty chill and laid back and tbh pretty easily emotional;; a lot of my activity will be spotty on this blog because of either (a) school (b) muse (c) my fluctuation of my chronic depression and GAD (d) commissions, or (e) any irl event that prevents me from coming online. rping is a hobby of mine and not a very large priority. please forgive me!!! 

but anyways i’m a very excitable and emotional person and i’m hype to meet other people through this blog!! my other active blogs are eplabita and tentaart if you would like to find me anywhere else! i also will provide my personal tumblr and my discord to mutuals who ask nicely! <3 pls be gentle with me im fragile and anxious

Car insurance renewal - is it compulsory ?

I had accident earlier this year(few months ago) wasn't my fault and other side admitted it but they still haven't paid for damages so the case is still open. I have been told by my car insurance company that they don't know where is the problem but as final bill hasn't been paid as a result my car renewal will go up as my previous 4 years no claim will vanish for now. Apparently once the other side pays what they should then they reduce my monthly payments accordingly as they take no claims years(this is 5 th year into account.) My question is : 1. is this correct what I said so far(or been told) 2. Do I have to renew my car insurance which expired last week even if I don't drive my car which is safely parked on my driveway(off road) ? Can I pay later lets say next month ? this is due my finance difficulties and I hope that other side pays by then and so I pay much less insurance. Professional advice would be great !

Should I cancel my car insurance policy?

So long story short -- I totaled my car in an accident which was my fault back in December, and unfortunately did not have collision coverage on my insurance policy. I am a full-time student and have been unable to afford purchasing another car since then, and do not know when I will be able to afford another car. Although I am now without a vehicle I have been reluctant to cancel my insurance policy because I was told that if I did, whenever I purchased another car and had to buy insurance again the price of it would skyrocket because I would be considered high risk for having a chronological gap in my coverage. So basically I am currently paying $80 a month for car insurance when I do not even have a car, just to avoid having it go up even more at some point in the unknown future after I buy another car. Is this worth it or would it be wiser to just go ahead and cancel my policy? I would like to get some other people's counsel on this who know more about car insurance and who are more financially competent than I am. Thanks so much.""

What does a person credit score have to do with rates on car insurance rates?

It should be against the law since everyone must carry car insurance. Also, what does my low credit score got to with my great driving record? Sounds like another reason to raise rates because most credit scores are low across the board. If someone pays their insurance company on time and has a good driving record should be their only concerns. Doesn't that make sense to raise car insurance rates to persons that had a hard time paying a bill, bit made all their car insurance payments on time. If there are others out there mad about this issue please help me do something about this robbing...""

ShouId i get Maternity Insurance or just depend on Medicaid? What is the best & most affordable maternity ins?

Although it has been asked many times, I need the most recent answer or suggestion of my problem : I'm married and currently we are planning to have a baby. We never had health insurance before (because it's too expensive and we don't really need it so far). We know that health insurance, especially which cover maternity will be very expensive, while we never know when will I get pregnant (we've been trying for 9 months and I'm not yet get pregnant). So is it worth it to get Maternity Insurance or should I just depend on Medicaid after I get pregnant ? We both are working now but not making really good money, yet probably not too little to be eligible for Medicaid too. I've been searching for some health insurance and agents but all of them offer me a high - not affordable premium which doesn't cover everything as well .. If getting the maternity insurance before I get pregnant is the best way, can anyone suggest me the best and most affordable one and how is the best way to get it (via agent or directly to the ins company) ? Fyi, we came from another country and have been here in Florida for 1 year, so we didn't know much about all of this stuffs, so we really need you help .. Thank you""

Why have my health insurance premiums increase 72% over the last few months?

I received a letter a few months ago that my premiums would be increasing due to the ACA. I never thought they would increase by 72%. I thought President Obama said our premiums would decrease dramatically. Full coverage + Vision and dental 31/m non smoker (very healthy and active) Haven't been to the doctor in years Golden Rule United Healthcare Premiums a few months ago $193 per month $35 co pay $1500 deductible Premium starting next month $267 w/ same co pay and deductible WTF? I make roughly $2200 a month before taxes and fail to see how this is affordable.

Cheap Car insurance for young and new drivers?

I'm 21 and passed my test a couple of weeks ago. I always knew insurance was going to be an issue and I have found out it is cheaper to go on other peoples policys... but I want to get my own policy so I can get it down. I'll be getting something small, 1.1 or 1.2 for obvious reasons. The cheapest I've managed to find is about 700, thats 3rd party and with a couple of named drivers on. that was with Swift Cover. From a weekend of insurance shopping I've found that all these compare insurance websites are a load of s***. Not had any quotes below 1500. Anyway, does anyone have any tips for getting insurance down more or does anyone know of any insurance companies that specialise in insurance young or new drivers. I just wish they wouldn't tar us all with the same brush... I'm not going to be spending my evenings following other boy racers in Saxos wheelspinning around McDonalds car park. I can see why it's so high though there are so many idiots on the road.""

Insurance company and liability coverage on a leased car?

My sister is leasing a car and she changed insurance company last month. Don't know how this insurance Company gave her liability on a car that's not her's but they did it. She said they didn't even ask if she was leasing and when she asked how but full coverage was she said it would be to much. So lets just get this one. Now she just got into and accident on xmas day and her car is damage badly. The insurance people said they cant do anything with her car because of the coverage but I think that's not fair because she is still leasing on that car. What can be done can she sue the company on is it just her lost.

Will my car insurance rate go up because of this freak accident?

I was backing out of a parking lot and I hit a van coming up. Considering the fact that the parking lot was nearly empty neither one of us saw each other coming. I did pull off pretty fast but not too fast. Their was no damage to my car, but he had a small dent on the side of his nothing major. We called the police cause he was older and felt safer doing that. The police said nothing will go on our records, but didn't say whose at fault. So we just exchanged insurance info.
