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.

i don’t really want to officially add muses to my roster but there’s a npc i made up for my campaign and i think of her and her sister every day. i love you gag characters that i made into real lovable people who take up my brain power circe and cindy highhill.

anyway they’re interactable for anyone w dnd muses if u want. circe is a druid of the circle of wildfire (made up) and cindy is a scholar of the same circle; circe wears golden chromatic dragon scale gauntlets that can ignite if she snaps her fingers and cindy, though not wanting to be an adventurer, wears autumn leaves to imitate her sister’s gauntlets.

🗡 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.

sent by : @wickedslip " Every part of me aches for destruction. "

there was a hint of comfort , from her statement . a feeling that is more than familiar . she is a CHOAS WITCH , the very embodiment of doom and destruction . eyes direct to her , red orbs ever slightly triggering when the word 'destruction' repeats in her thoughts , and somehow the smallest curve of lips of what seemed to have formed a smile , so small however that it was only a split second to express some kind of gratitude that she finally felt like she wasn't alone from the feeling . though at the same time so , sympathising with her . ( it's a heavy feeling , ) – “ hm, –funny how we meet people , who share the same fate after all . ”

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.

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.

"Did they lock you in here?" (from yk who.) protective starters. ACCEPTING

❝ THEY MAY AS WELL HAVE. ❞ THE WORDS contain no bitterness directed at her employer. only exhaustion — at the circumstance, and at herself for being stupid enough to get caught in her most vulnerable state. ❝ they can get me out any time they want. this is as much a punishment as a direct hand. ❞ somewhere, fletch waits for what they deem an adequate moment to make the call, the blackmail, the infiltration. usually a few days. sometimes weeks.

despite the hound's complete inability to fight back, the imperial military soldiers sent in lieu of bluecoats still clapped full-block shackles over the creature's ankles and hands. this time, they didn't make the mistake of processing her; they simply used the immortal emperor's warrant to bypass fair trial and threw her in solitary.

it was a smart move, they have to admit. the last time they tried to lock her down, she killed fifteen inmates because their de facto leader tried to lay a hand on her. sometimes she wonders if fletch keeps her here just to see what she will do.

the voice reverberates through persephone's skull, fingerlike, as disconcerting and familiar as the singing rush of blood through muscle & vein. they cannot see him in the pitch-dark, but there is no need to. he is not here — he cannot be. the prison would have sounded the alarm if he were.

if persephone were any less exhausted she would have reacted defensively. aggressively. but the kill they committed today, and the world-eater tide of rage that fueled it, leaves her shaking and spent. in truth, they aren't even positive this interaction is real — it would not be the first time they hallucinated after a kill.

❝ what do you care? how did you know? ❞
