Hi hello yes more thoughts about this hgduo pre-canon, hunger games/wars au(??) because my brain is rotating them at incredible speeds. (Obligatory cannibalism tw because yeah the lore do be like that.)

Bad originally finds Cellbit while the kid is trying to use a dagger to carve up a body to eat---key word trying. Bad stands back and watches him struggle for about thirty seconds before speaking up: "You're holding that wrong." (The kid jumps about two feet in the air. "WhhUH---") "Also you're not supposed to carve with a dagger, silly. You should really be using a knife. Here." And Bad passes him one of his hunting knives.

Bad mentally dubs Cellbit "Dagger-Kid" because he doesn't know Cellbit's name. When Cellbit later admits he doesn't know his name either, Bad officially dubs him "Dagger-Kid" or "Dagger" for short. ((For the rest of this I'll be calling Cellbit "Dagger")) ((Also I'm not 100% on this name yet but we'll see.))

I should note that I also think it would be funny that every time Dagger does something notable or reveals a new quality about himself, Bad tries to give him a new name. Like, they scavenge a piece of chocolate off one of their victims and Dagger loves it, so Bad tries to suggest, "Oh oh! What if we called you 'Sweets'! Or 'Chocolate'? 'Coco,' maybe?" all of which Dagger (playfully) rolls his eyes at. Bad rotates through nicknames regularly, but Dagger personally sticks with the first name Bad gave him.

Dagger was on his own for two months before he met Bad. He is injured and half-starved and utterly exhausted. The first time they make camp together, Dagger promises he'll take the first watch, but he nods off before even Bad can fall asleep. It's the first time Dagger has felt safe enough to truly relax, so his body just crashes. He sleeps for twelve hours.

This one's honestly more of a general qsmp headcanon I have but it goes here too: Bad teaches Dagger how to throw knives (for combat) and how to do knife tricks (for fun). Current-day Cellbit still remembers how to do the tricks, and he'll often use them as a way of fidgeting when he's thinking---with a pen or pencil instead, though.

One of Dagger's natural talents is stealth. He's not as quiet as Bad, but he's definitely good at it; his cat-hybrid traits definitely lend him a hand here, too. It's the main way Dagger survived before meeting Bad, stealing supplies out of camps while people were sleeping.

Bad, being a demon, doesn't need to eat, drink, or sleep as much as mortals do, and certainly not as much as a teenage boy. To him, it only seems practical that he gives himself smaller portions of their rations, or takes longer nightwatch shifts. But Dagger (who can scarcely imagine ever being not hungry or not tired, much less at the same time) is still grateful and feels somewhat indebted to Bad, even after Bad explains.

Dagger (a cat hybrid and a little more than a bit messed up) bites to show affection. Usually Bad's arm. Any normal guy would be injured by the force of Dagger's bite---Dagger doesn't really seem to understand that not-biting-hard is an option---but Bad doesn't really mind it.

(The truth is that deep down Dagger really wants to hug Bad, but he knows Bad isn't a very cuddly person, and yeah Bad might give him a hug if he asked but he's too afraid to ask so all that affection stays bottled up until it rises rises rises and he just doesn't know what to do with it anymore and it needs OUT---)

Bad thwacks Dagger upside the head with his tail whenever Dagger is being a "little rapscallion" and eventually Dagger starts retaliating. His tail isn't as long or flexible as Bad's but he definitely does try.

Bad has a lot of stories to tell. Some true, some made up on the fly. He's always liked telling stories, and Dagger is a captive audience. He learns Dagger loves mysteries, and suddenly, all of his campfire stories are about spies, and detectives, and red-string cork boards and espionage.

The thing Dagger fears the most is that one morning he'll wake up and Bad won't be there because Bad decided Dagger slowed him down and thus abandoned him. He thinks about this near-constantly. (The thing Bad fears the most is that one morning he'll wake up and look at Dagger and start caring like he used to a long, long time ago. He does not think about this at all.)

An Introduction

Hi. Hello. And welcome. This used to be a writeblr but I have this awful tendency to dislike talking about my WIP, and so it's become more of a dumping ground of things that I think are funny or interesting or "important." While I don't mind it being that, I have always struggled with transmuting my thoughts into coherent sentences and with just communicating with other people in general and this blog is just lying here collecting dust so I thought, "Well, why the fuck not."

So, hi. And hello. And welcome.

This blog is gonna be just that: a blog. It'll have things that I'm interested in or things I'm trying to figure out. It'll have reblogs of things I think are funny or informative or important. It may or may not be properly tagged (the world may never know). I'm thinking of this blog as a wet lump of clay; I'm gonna try and give form to something I'm not even sure exists yet.

Anyways.

About Me:

Name: irrealis (I've gone by other names, like Blue and Twelve, but I think I like "irrealis" most out of all of them.)

Pronouns: Huge fan of when people use whatever pronouns they think fit me best. (If clear direction is needed, "they/them" is acceptable.)

Location: America. (Too paranoid to say much else than that.)

Age: Mid-Twenties (See previous aside)

Interests: - Writing. I have a ten year old WIP that occupies nearly every waking moment of my life. It's titled "The Book of Daemon" (tbod) and I suck at summaries but long story short, it's about life, family, love, and self discovery in the context of a group of immortal beings called the Xenyx. "The Book of Daemon" specifically follows the return of Daemon to what is left of the Main House of the 13 Xenyx Clans, his relationship with his brother and clan, and his reckoning with the very Evil that resulted in his disappearance and the deaths of the elders in their clan. - Conlanging. (If that wasn't super obvious from my name or (new) blog name.) I got into conlanging because I wanted to have a language for the Xenyx in tbod that wasn't just "English, but with different words" and it became something that I'm really interested in. I'm still really new to it, so be prepared to see the "post equivalent" of me repeatedly slamming my head into a desk. (I find it difficult to self-teach conlanging but I'm doing mah best!) - Storytelling. I like stories. Not much else to that. How are stories written? How was this particular story written, and how can I learn from it or how can it be improved? I might talk about this to some length but, again, I'm learning how to put my thoughts into words so that's something that's gonna take some time.

That's all I got for now. (Though I may add some more stuff later if I feel the need to.) It's definitely gonna be a wonky ride, but if you plan on sticking around, you are much appreciated. <3

(Also, I'm down for ask games and the like, so let me know! :D)
