the futurama episode about fry's dog is followed by an episode with a bender mpreg storyline. i am enjoying this odd show

[plague-karm]

I subjected the group chat to a rant about the prime souls because I actually had energy that day. Also I kept going on so if I got anything wrong that’s on me but I am NOT rewriting all of this 😭

Thinking about a kind-of-au thing where like. Gabriel is losing his light as per the canon storyline, but as his light disappears wounds and scars that his body previously healed using that light start reappearing, eons of battles and histories of his existence that had been previously hidden by his healing ability. Most of the scars are ancient, dating all the way back to Heaven's war with Lucifer, others are from taking out Sisyphus' armies or ravaging Minos' city, a lot of them are from defending Hell against machines.

Some of the scars coming back are physically painful or uncomfortable, others mentally. Reminders of times he was hurt or scared.

I imagine this is in some timeline where he has either one or both of the prime souls or v1 around. Very much a kind of hurt/comfort thing. Minos rubbing soothing creams into the biggest scars or v1 keeping him warm while the discomfort passes. It's kind of scary, none of them really understand why it's happening (it's happening because I want them to suffer and then be comforted), but they are just scars. Gabriel isn't being wounded. Eventually they stop appearing, and then eventually even longer they start to fade like normal scars do.

Also thinking about how he would look. It wouldn't just be messes of scarred mass, but a fascinating map of both battle injuries and banged-your-knee-on-a-table injuries alike. Being able to see where his hands were worn through carrying his weapons, where his armor protected him from harm, a spot where he jammed his finger in a door once, a scar so close to his throat that it must have nearly killed him.

I think it would be interesting, for him to have to tackle his own history like that. He's never had such prominent, lasting physical reminders of what he's been through, constantly pushing forward and onward. Not a lot of time to think about his or other' actions once he was done with them. There would be a lot of reflection, and a lot of stories to remember.

Found a fanfiction where Ariadne didn't know that her father was the son of Zeus and acts as if this was a huge big secret... Girl, your own mother is a witch goddess, your husband is a god and your half-sibling is half-bull. How is that supposed to be surprising to you?

I hate the ultrakill fandom I’m ACTUALLY GONNA FUCKING LOSE ITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY do people water down his personality to nothing but violence. Also HE HAS NEVERRRRR BEEN SHOWN TO BE ANGRY. EVER!!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!! Excuse me I’m kind of going insane this will turn into a fandom rant for a sec. Literally both characters had equally nuanced stories and personalities yet for some reason sisyphus gets the short end of the stick. Whag. This is the exact reason I’m scared of my ocs developing a fandom

I SAW THIS STUPID MEME AND I HAD TO COME AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT BECAUSE FUCK

me pretending to not gaf about misinterpretations of my favorite characters so I won’t kill myself

[inc0gnit0-m0de]

thinking about this vid I caught last night with a gif I sent a friend

[onefey]

the minotaur myth is in the same vein as frankenstein for me btw where my takeaway from it is "if i had a weird son i would simply love him"

[lady-belleslettres]

Sadly, I don't have any Pride Ultrakill art (for now). But I thought I would share my LGBTQ+ headcannons for the major Ultrakill characters for fun.

[unnamedtune]

I drew a cat but I didn’t like the face, so it’s Meownos Purrime now

[pain-is-too-tired]

I don't see it talk about much-

But gods, it's kinda frightening to think of the fact that Nico could've very easily ended up in a situation like Chris in botl.

Like, I'm pretty sure it's heavily implied that the only reason Nico doesn't end up cursed like the others by Minos was because he was of use to him.

Imagine au where Minos finds him no longer to be useful much earlier(maybe he feels Nico isn't actually gonna give him what he wants or whatever-) and curses him.

Could you imagine a au where we're introduced to Chris,see the state he's in and just how bad things are, maybe see few of Nico and Minos dreams Percy has in canon,then come across Nico in that same state? Heck- imagine that being how they figure out it was Minos who did curse Chris. Instead of being told, they're shown in a way that they have to connect the dots.

Minos is fucked tho because now he has Clarisse and Percy out for his throat fudrfd

[plague-karm]

I wanna make an analysis post on Gabriel so fucking bad but it’s gonna take so long 😭 at least with Minos (the post I made on the prime souls mostly focused on Sisyphus so I might make a separate post on him eventually but idk) and Sisyphus their arcs were finished Gabriel’s isn’t even done but fuuuuck there’s so much to talk about with him that I might let the demons win and make one anyway shshsjsjsjsjdj

[sssantostyle]

you get it. (bonus point for the hell comment. yeah that chamber of suffering IS enjoying watching V1s glory and grief and goads that machine deeper. aughh)

Teehee. Glad you liked it! I'm right about Ultrakill and V1 forever. On the topic of V1 and Hell Itself (yes im going to be referring to it by full name. House on Ash Tree Laneing that shit) I've realized recently that they're quite similar. Both are made for the express purpose of some form of Violence- Hell Itself for the torture of people who didn't follow God's Will, V1 for countering a literal Tower of War, and perpetuating the system of war without reason. Both are even quite literally Fueled by the suffering of others as well! Hell delights in the agony, V1 feeds on it, both cannot live without the absence of someone that can Bleed. It's kind of fascinating how similar they are in their own regards, while also being able to feed into their own worse instincts and desires, a match made in blood <3

Plus- God explicitly says he regrets the creation of Hell, wishing he could take back what he had done to humanity. And while there's no evidence of V1's maker regretting the creation of such a machine- it's not hard to imagine a similar regret would plague them.

Too many people are talking about Ariadne as the daughter of Minos, but few about Ariadne as the daughter of Pasiphae.

[superkooku]

Have you heard of Minotaur by Philip W. Simpson?

It's a re-imagining tale of the myth with an interesting take on Asterion (that he was actually Poseidon's son and was born with horns as a reminder to Minos for not sacrificing the bull) and Phaedra plays a prominent role, which is rare to see.

Problem is that Ariadne is a huge jerk and a bitch, antagonizes her siblings and her end seems like it's her getting her comeuppance (just mentioning it so you won't be disappointed by her portrayal).

For Ariadne : Again 😩😫. Why is my girl constantly done dirty in retellings ???

Honestly I won't elaborate any further on her, go check out my post on the film Icare to see my thoughts.

The idea is not bad, it could be used in an interesting way, but it's not the best. Because the thing about Asterius' story is that he's NOT holy or divine but an abomination, a monster born from Minos' pride, Pasiphae's cursed lust and THEN the gods' wrath.

Speaking of Pasiphae, she's surprisingly underused and underdeveloped in these retellings (even in the myth itself tbf). But she has an interesting position and complex actions that can make her a very nuanced character. I mean, she's Helios' daughter for crying out loud !

Btw if one wants to make Asterius a bit divine, Helios would be a more interesting path to follow on because you wouldn't even need to change anything in the conception myth.

Besides, what's even more awkward is that the actual demigod son of Poseidon in this myth is, well, Theseus 😅. Does this book elaborate on Theseus potentially killing his own brother ? That would be a bit interesting.

Phaedra being prominent also sounds cool but it depends on how she's characterized.
