honestly tho the gods-from-nowhere are so fucked up in general because they were all banished for some reason or another that kinda just boils down to being different or not being accepted, but the witness specifically like............ literally maimed, cursed and thrown to the wolves ONLY because of a power they couldn't control manifesting in a way that was so powerful it scared everyone.

they could see everything. all the time. always. they knew what everyone was doing, knew everyone's intents, the atrocities they committed, etc, and because of a power they couldn't control, they got the WORST punishment of all the nowhere gods and basically left to die. 🤡

to make matters WORSE, the e.legiast RECORDS everything all the gods of the glory do ANYWAYS, the only difference between the witness and the e.legiast is that evariste sees atrocities and betrayals as they happen in the present vs the e.legiast who records them as history.

like!!!! what the fuck!!!

the m.are-in-the-tree despises the gods of the glory, because those they cast out often are cast out for things out of their control, and then made out to be boogeymen / monsters in the stories that the gods make up to justify it. no wonder they want to infiltrate the glory and slaughter them all / reclaim it. it's fucked up !!!

lore: long ago, four goddesses of the cosmos emerged. first was libna, goddess of stars, of purity, of law and perfection. soon she became lonely and from herself she birthed zarina, goddess of the sun, of strength, of fluidity, and security. and neelu, goddess of the moon, of joy and grief, of energy and tides. a millennia passes and the last of the goddesses is brought into existence; ritika, goddess of the earth, of healing , growth, and of life. for centuries after, the goddesses expand the universe creating and conquering as they go. ritika, goddess of the earth, falls in love with her creations before long and takes her place upon the earths where eventually she is killed. this sends an era of grief through the cosmos and from then on it was forever changed and the remaining goddesses corrupted by their grief. neelu, of the goddesses, visits the earths often in remembrance of her lost sister and thus you might meet her; weeping in remembrance of her sister.

🗡 thinking of talons modern verse but theyre literally just a loser who plays video games all day, has a part-time job at a pizza chain and a very illegal knife collection along with a hobby and passion for parkour and ninja warrior-related sports who is trying so hard to not be caught up in the Huge rich family drama they were adopted into and partly the cause of.

SMALL LEAKS TALK.

Listen, I love Itto so much and I think he's one of the funniest characters in genshin but like.... Can we PLEASE get an INAZUMA EVENT that isn't taken as a joke ? I want some lore drop too and I know Inazuma doesnt have a lantern's rite or windblume festival equivalent ( Irodori was the closest thing ) but I do want more than just "haha Itto strikes again" kind of event. For a region that got many top tier characters, we really got no content, no relevant yearly events and no important lore drop.

also ngl i really am kind of proud of myself for coming up with the idea of shoving two verses together ocassionally because they have a lot in common at their core. such as spn & good omens where heaven and hell are very bureaucratic / hierarchal, and the whole conflict between good and evil is a very concrete thing. or tua & stranger things where i thought it might be interesting to lean into the whole teenaged autistic experience with an angelic entity awakening inside of him thrown into the mix. it makes me feel good about having a solid ground to work on in those fandoms, without overinvolving emmanuel with the source material.

I don’t think I have a post anywhere discussing Michel’s timeline in his normal, canon universe, so I wanted to elaborate on that below!

Michel lives in New York, born to Amelia and James D’Aubigny, lives a pretty normal life until his early twenties. He’s diagnosed with severe OCD as a teenager, and never quite figures out the way to cope with his intrusive thoughts and compulsions. He suffers immensely with contamination , body-focused, and relationship OCD. He does the usual compulsions: washing his hands until they’re raw, speaks in specific rhythmic patterns to achieve symmetry in his syllables, and a few twitches to his arms and shoulders release a bit of pressure in his old noggin’.

It isn’t until he takes forensics in university that he learns his passion. He flies through undergraduate and eventually gets his master’s in forensic science, becoming a forensic scientist in the NYPD where he’ll have (basically) unlimited access to bodies and crime scenes.

There, he meets Lannister O’Hare and Ransom Dauteuil, good-cop bad-cop frenemies on the force who do their part in disliking Michel &. finding him weird. Michel enjoys his time with them, especially with Ransom, who he takes a particular liking to. Ransom is a good four or five years his junior, with Laney a tad older than Ransom.

It’s important to know that Michel often views people he enjoys being around as being his “property,” somewhat due to relieving an intrusive thought that all people are both sick &. will leave him, so he can alleviate both intrusive thoughts by making sure they are clean by never leaving them alone. He also meets a woman, Artemis, who he sees as an extension of himself, and refuses to let her leave his vicinity. They date for multiple years. (Ages 22-27.)

Somewhere around meeting those three, Michel starts his serial killer streak. He kills exclusively cops, and often stalks them for several months beforehand. His method is to stalk the cop and the cop’s family, get into their home when the cop is alone (preferred) and kill him then, redress him in clean clothes, clean the house and pose the corpse, and then leave the scene. If necessary, he has duct-taped the wife and/or children’s mouths, and stuffed them into closets for the duration of his “art.”

An important note is that the three of them on the force - Ransom, Laney and Michel are all rather friendly for a while. When they’re able to be alone, Michel is honest with Ransom when he gets asked blunt questions - do you kill people, namely - and Michel tells Ransom that he’s going to go after him as his grand finale. The only one who knows.

Laney doesn’t get told, even though he has his suspicions about Michel. Ransom also doesn’t tell Laney, due to the fear on his life. 

He kills roughly 6-7 cops before he tries to kill Ransom. Failing to get him deep enough in the throat, Ransom lives. Unlike the other killings, it’s not in Ransom’s house being posed, but the night after the final murder where he almost gets caught by Ransom and Laney. He attempts to take Ransom out but fails to. 

Laney tells him that he has one chance to get out of the city and never return if he doesn’t want to get locked up in prison for life, and Michel listens. He leaves New York, and never returns. 

Additionally: for his canon universe, I’m not sure what exactly happens to Artemis. In some iterations, he kills her because she asks him to - for love. In others, she gets away from him and he never hears from her again. Most times, Artemis is just a fleeting part of Michel’s life, but maybe the only time he had any true affection for another person.

I’m just like. Reading about wardens and holy shit there’s a lot of stuff….all I can say so far is that coop would def be of the mind that protecting ppl comes first over just killing/eradicating darkspawn….

Here's a basic layout of Peach Blossom Cookie's beginnings before he became the Keeper of the Heavenly Orchard. His mortal life, essentially.

An orphan displaced due to war, Peach Blossom Cookie does not remember his homeland or the faces of his family clearly, but he has always remembered the injustices he saw in the world. How those in power abused it... How the innocent always got caught in the crossfires of conflict, paying the price of yet another war in which neither side was right... How all that was beautiful in the world would be trampled on with a cruel indifference...

Thus, he took up a sword and began acting as a vigilante from the time he was a young teen, becoming an enemy to the armies of various realms over time — that was how he felt he could truly make change in the world, and what he also found long sought out purpose in. His name was infamous to the crowned by his early adulthood, and for many villages affected by war and corruption of those they were governed by, a beacon of hope.

He is not exactly sure when it happened — when a group of cookies had begun following and looking to him for asylum, but... he realized they shared the same dream for the world. From then on, other refugees would join their group as well — cookies who otherwise couldn't defend themselves, scarred by warfare and tyranny. They were mostly simple farmers and such folk; alongside children, the elderly, and disabled. In hopes for a better life, they banded together and began journeying elsewhere with Peach Blossom Cookie who would protect them.

They would travel tirelessly for a place away from the bloodshed, for somewhere to call home, and far out to the west they thought they had found land they could cultivate. There had been those who were lost during the journey, it was not without risk after all, but they had finally found it — somewhere they could settle down and grow their roots. Together they believed that they could establish a community and build a paradise from the ground up for all those like them... In the end, just when they thought they had fled far enough, conflict would find them again. Peach Blossom Cookie would end up failing to protect them. Every single one of them was gruesomely slain by bandits, the sight of rising smoke and their screams drawing him back to their incipient village in horror.

The last thing he would use his sword for was to dig up the first thing they had planted in order to begin their little paradise — a peach tree sapling that had thankfully been unsullied by blood...

And as you can probably guess now, Peach Blossom Cookie would carry that same sapling upwards to the heavens to start his garden in honor of those he lost that day, hoping to see their dream come into fruition no matter what. The climb was far from easy, though that's for another post.

dahlia has attempted multiple times to bring her younger sister back to life with necromancy or at least speak to her. she has only gotten close to hearing her sisters voice once and has been unsuccessful ever since. however, one attempt still chills her to this day. on the night of her senior prom, an eighteen year old dahlia had drunken too much and decided to abandon her date to walk home on her own. instead of making her way home she ended up in the cemetery where her sister lay. with muddled senses she started casting a spell she had read months ago, not once thinking of what she was actually trying to conjure. instead of her sister’s spirit greeting her, she was met with a hoard of undead bodies risen from the cemetery. dahlia’s mother had gone looking for her when she hadn’t come home and heard her daughters scream cut through the night. she found dahlia curled up behind a gravestone for cover, tear streaked face and a prom dress that was mud splattered and torn from running from the army of the dead clattering after her. that was the only time dahlia had seen her mother spell cast and she could barely remember it from the blanket of fear. the following summer dahlia was sent to live with her aunt in paris to get her as far away from rookwood and the memories she had associated with the town.
