#on that note is it goat or is it ram. i see people use them interchangeably. well anyways

[crownconstellation]

so with this year’s April Fool’s event, which is themed after the Chinese Zodiac, A3! has given almost every character confirmed official birth years depending on what zodiac clan they were assigned to! these are as follows:

?????? - Guy, Azuma (they were assigned the cat, which is an unofficial / excluded zodiac sign. clever move, Liber.)

1987 (Rabbit) - Sakyo

1991 (Ram) - Homare

1992 (Monkey) - Chikage, Hisoka

1993 (Rooster) - Tsumugi

1994 (Dog) - Tasuku, Itaru

1995 (Pig) - Citron

1997 (Ox) - Omi

1998 (Tiger) - Misumi, Kazunari

1999 (Rabbit) - Tsuzuru

2000 (Dragon) - Banri, Juza

2001 (Snake) - Sakuya, Tenma, Taichi

2002 (Horse) - Masumi, Kumon

2003 (Ram) - Yuki, Muku

2004 (Monkey) - Azami

(Izumi got assigned Rat, which would be 1996, but based on canon statements about her age (her knowing Sakyo as a kid + her being the same general age as TaTsm), she’s presumably a 1992-1993 baby & she got put in Rat solely bc no one else filled that slot.)

Hazbin Pokemon (Part 1)

So I had a few ideas on pokemon teams around the Hazbin community and while some have interesting theories as to why, others are just based on either personality or what I could picture them with in a personal sense. So let's start with the Morningstar Family: (NOTE I may change some of Lilith's later on but I'm generally happy with Lucifer and Charlie's team of choice) Lucifer: Uxie -> Legends aren't technically legends for Angels so why can't they own them. Anyway, Uxie is the being/creator of knowledge, what was Lucifer sent down to hell for. Basically giving humans free will and the knowledge to use it. Uxie just seemed fitting. Reshiram -> The Dragon of Truth, again kind of self explanatory, for Lucifer he keeps him as a reminder that he made the choices he did and the truth is, they weren't all good choices. Reshiram is both a memory of the good and bad parts of him but he still holds it very dear to him. Pidgeot (Shiny) -> A golden giant cockatiel like bird, need I say more?, Honestly I just think it works but it's not my main bird for an obvious reason, you'll see who though shortly. Dubwool -> It's a cute goat/ram pokemon. Again nough said, I don't really have a reason behind this one, I just couldn't not add a goat like pokemon to his team. Hydrapple (Shiny) -> The golden apple, originally started off as an Applin but with time he got a strong shiny apple hydra. Cause why not? SirFetch'd (Shiny) -> Shiny golden duck, again need I say more, why wouldn't he have this golden boy. Yes it is his ace he often sends out in a panic. -------

Lilith: (Her team may change with time. I am open to suggestions) Azelf -> Having the will power to do whatever she wants in the palm of her hand. Depending on how she uses it will determine her path though. Meloetta -> A beautiful pokemon with an equally beautiful voice. (This one may change) Zoroark (Hisuian) -> A shapeshifting pokemon who looks quite haunting but quite beautiful too. Darkrai -> A pokemon that is given an equally bad rep and can cause quite horrifying nightmares, maybe even trap you in your own worst nightmare. Friend or foe, for her sake you better be a friend. Primarina -> Another angelic pokemon with a beautiful voice. Tends to be one of her main she uses far more often then Meloetta. Milotic -> Again just another beautiful and hard to obtain pokemon. -------

Charlie: Minun & Plusle (These are illusions, their true forms are Latios and Latias) -> These are Charlie's main supporters and protectors. If you see her out, these are usually the two you see with her the most, many have underestimated them and regretted it. Sylveon -> Honestly who doubted this?, an Eevee she genuinely couldn't decide what to evolve into so she just spent her time loving her little cutie for what she was and ended up with a Sylveon much later. Yes she is indeed spoiled. This is Charlie's main that she uses in battle. Togekiss -> Another pokemon mostly evolved out of love and admiration. Charlie hardly uses him but that doesn't seem to bother them at all. Bewear (Shiny) -> If Charlie was honest she had gotten this little one when it was a cute Stuffle, never really thinking just how big it'd get when she'd evolve. Yes Bewear loves Charlie and tends to be the most cuddly of her team. Bewear is also insanely protective of Charlie too, but don't worry she just gives people hugs of warning, bone crushing hugs of warning. Marowak (Hisuian) -> Honestly this one was just Charlie's bleeding heart taking in a crying Cubone, maybe a bit out of her own self need to help others and knowing exactly what it's like to not really have her folks around. Was she expecting him to evolve into a bone throwing little menace. No, does she loev him less for it, of course not.

Next up: Angels and Exorcists. (If you're interested or have suggestions feel free to comment or reblog)

[blockgamepirate]

btw I'm really glad that Tubbo explicitly said that he didn't wanna do the horns thing again for his character on QSMP because I never liked that headcanon lmao

Mainly because I knew it came from people headcanoning dsmp!Tubbo as dsmp!Schlatt's son, or somehow Corrupted by d!Schlatt (which HE WAS NOT, as far as he was corrupted by anything it was his own good intentions and sense of duty). And Schlatt isn't even a goat, he's a RAM sdhgfkljghf

It drove me nuts (it still kinda does)

Sure it's a cool design and all, but I just really disliked what it represented. I can't really fully even explain why, maybe it's just the implications of Tubbo being somehow defined by his relationship to Schlatt?? And the fact that it didn't actually have any meaning for Tubbo himself and it wasn't inspired by anything he did or said. idk

And maybe also the Christian devil associations, which is just so bland IMO, when it's just used as default symbolism for corruption

(Sorry to everybody who really likes that design btw, I don't wanna be mean or anything, I do agree that it looks cool and is a fun concept, and easier to make look good than the bee thing. And to be fair I think people stopped associating that design concept with Schlatt pretty quickly after Schlatt's character died, it kinda just became Tubbo's thing. But I was never able to make that mental separation lol)

(Also obviously none of this is in any way serious, it's just silly opinions)

Okay on a more positive note: I love the ideas he had for his QSMP character; the steampunk mechanic vibes, it's perfect for him. And even the two-toned hair as a compromise/nod to the fact that his skin and his real life hair don't match, and the fact that he got the idea from fanart and immediately got the urge to dye his own hair like that in real life :D

And specifically deciding not to include any scars or anything like that so that those can be added later if there's a story reason for them, if he ends up getting into an accident or something.

(Man, I'm just so excited for q!Tubbo, I didn't even realise how much I missed seeing him get really into roleplay and really excited about a Minecraft server. I hope his enthusiasm lasts for a long time.)

CC!NextGen

You said Unicorn kid, I HAVE A UNICORN KID, LET ME SHARE HER!!!!

Alice Quinn

Age: 15

Hair: White-Gold

Eyes: Solid Black

Height: 6'9" (at the moment)

Personality: Deadpan, stoic, calm. Seems completely relaxed, aloof, almost ethereal at all times. Actually a foul-mouthed snarker, who likes to play on people’s perception of the unicorn kid as sweet and innocent, so they don’t see the sucker punch coming. Has issues with people who don’t take their health seriously, and will go off if you try to do something while you are injured or sick. Actually great with kids, has a good bedside manner “But you shits rarely ever DESERVE IT, GET BACK IN BED, YOUR FUCKING LEG IS BROKEN!”

Hero Name: Alicorn (note: I know Alicorn now means a winged unicorn, but originally, “alicorn” was the name they gave powdered unicorn horn, the stuff that was supposed to be a miracle cure, get rid of poisons and shit)

Quirk: Unicorn (satyr version) - User has physiology similar to a Unicorn, cloven hoof feet, long tail with a tuft at the end. fingers Have last digit end in a claw, or keratin-like growth similar to a claw (weird note, but look at Alastor’s hands from Hazbin Hotel). Has a single spiral horn in the middle of the forehead. Face and ears are somewhat goat/deer like. Eyes large and solid black, cannot see the pupils, unless she is in a state of high and intense emotion, when the pupils will glow white, pupils are slit like a goats, horizontal. Has very long eyelashes. Body covered in short “fur”, which is longer around the ankles. User may or may not have wings.

User has healing/purification abilities. Horn glows when using these abilities. Purification abilities manifest as a silver cloud of sparkly dust, healing as a golden glow. Healing works by granting energy to cells in the body, encouraging them to heal. User has massive stores of energy with which to heal others, but said stores can be depleted. Purification works more generally, clearing the air or area filled with the silver ���dust” of impurities. Can be used to fairly easily get rid of poisons or venoms. Can be used to get rid of viruses or infections, but it would take a lot of training.

Backstory: Ok, so, for me, I made up this whole story about how there’s this group that controls a lot of medical care for Japan in the MHAverse (in Japan, the Tenshi Group, internationally the Abbotts Angels) who are all a family of basically Angel Quirks. They have wings, horns that glow and look like halos, and healing abilities. And there’d be two factions of this family, one which was all about medical research and healing people, while the other was big on capitalism, and made people pay them big money to “heal” all sorts of things, like terminal diseases (which they can’t really do???). And faction two would try to frame it as “What if people take advantage of us?? We’re only thinking of the family!!!” which like, ok, being taken advantage of is a legit concern, but bitch, you are scamming people and charging stupid amounts of money to the poor, You are basically the American Healthcare System. And then this second faction would be all into family lineage and “purity” - like yeah, they’re mutation types, but the RIGHT KIND of mutation types, yeah? So they get real mad when one of their “heirs” or whatever has a fling with a random hero from the USA, the “Jersey Devil”, a guy with a “demonic” Quirk (goat-looking, ram horns, bat wings) and gets pregnant, and has a Unicorn looking kid. Now either A) Momma manages to hide the pregnancy enough, and put the kid up for adoption, or B), has the kid, and the family kind of raise her through proxy by a series of nannies, cause god FORBID anyone find out their line birthed THIS, but also they are pretty sure she’s going to have a healing Quirk, and THAT has to stay in the family.

(Do with this what you will)

I am totally on board with Pony/Kinoko. Koda … hmmmm (actually, I just remembered, Koda has a baby sister.) Ok give Koda a gentle giant husband, a big big man. A teddy bear grizzly. Huge man. Fluffy man. Also doesn’t talk much. He and Shoji are fighting for “Best Hugs”. He and Koda met … third year? Third year UA, he’s a transfer. They have … . give me a minute … 4 kids. They adopted a group of siblings that would have been separated if they didn’t step in. All of their kids are younger than most of the others - like, 4, 6, 7, 9 - so they aren’t at UA.

How’s that sound?

-

Honestly my plan for the unicorn baby was 100% ‘looks like an anthro Lady Amalthea but can and will say ‘fuck’.’

I think I can let you keep that backstory because as much as I love the drama I’m thinking this one’s simple. However that’s still fun because honestly I should swing over to the healer Quirks because YEAH those are highly wanted and it’s a miracle they’re not kidnapped more often.

As for Koda I’m loving the vibes but also again on the like. I feel like this should be hammered out more in the future. But also I /do/ agree that obvs not everyone is gonna meet their future spouse first day of high school so having him meet someone later works for me

Retirement Home SMP or, the Book and Quill 1.19 June 2022 - Jan 2023 (6 months)

From left to right, then top to bottom if people overlap: Dice (@dontrollthedicesideblog), Squish (@squish--squash), Schleep, Alias, Faded, Myriad (me), Light (@lightns881), Ryan, Cyngus, Lumo, Pack Yak. Missing is ZodiacLight who joined a bit later.

I'm almost a year late putting this out. I drew everyone in like 2 days but hated coloring so I never finished :(

The new server name was a reference to how we were all once a bunch of mcyt writers and now we’ve “retired” and dispersed into other fandoms. The spawn area contained two villages: one in a plains biome, and the other in a mangrove swamp. The server was mostly split into two factions depending on where players resided: the Grove and the Plains. There was also a third “faction” of wanderers who belong to neither village.

This season contained the original Book and Quill members, and also some of my irl friends I invited. Yes, it was briefly a social nightmare but I survived.

[600shekels]

2 Chronicles 26: 1-10. "The Winner."

Uzziah King of Judah

Let's follow the idea that Amaziah retired an aspect of his self rather than dying altogether, and Uzziah is a new incarnation, the next stage. This is a common idea throughout the Torah, it is also present in the Tanakh. It can be done with all the persons, cultures, and ideas in the Chronicles and Torah; they are all variables in a type of spiritual logistic regression analysis.

Sometimes more is better, sometimes it makes things worse, sometimes things stay the same sometimes they rapidly change. The variables that contribute to change and acceleration are the subject of our study of the Tanakh.

26 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah,[a] who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 

Amaziah meant "getting stronger." Uzziah means "importing the Strength of Yah." Like a she-goat imports a male, "headstrong about bringing into refuge, into safety."

The Gematria for this verse is 7202, [70-20-2] זכו "the winner" is the one who imports his intellect is the one who wins Judah, the Glory of God.

2 He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.

Elath is one of those logistic variables, it can go either way. Suffice to say the people of Judah wanted a stag, who could instruct them and set an example instead of a butthead:

אלל

The root אלל ('alal) predominantly describes a protruding or sticking out. This may be positive (when one leads a collective), neutral (when one is a tree), or negative (when one fails convention). The latter sense in particular describes foolishness, or at least a failure to live up to cognitive standards or common codes of conduct.

Nouns אלון ('allon), אלה ('alla) and אלה ('elah) refer to oaks or terebinths but note the similarities with the demonstrative pronoun אלה ('elleh), "these," and אלה ('eloah) meaning god or God.

Nouns אליל ('elil) and אלול ('elul) mean worthlessness or a worthless thing (a thing that sticks out of the economy of useful things). Adjectives אויל ('ewil) and אולי ('ewili) mean foolish, and noun אולת ('iwwelet) means foolishness or folly. Noun אול ('ul) may mean belly or leading man.

Nouns אולם ('ulam) and אילם ('elam) mean porch. The former is identical to an adverb that means "however" or "but." Another adverb אולי ('ulay) means "perhaps."

Noun איל ('ayil), "protruder," refers in the Bible to a ram, a pillar, a chief and, yet again, a terebinth. Noun איל ('ayyal) means stag or deer — hence the panting deer of Psalm 42 also describes an ignoramus longing for instruction — and its feminine counterpart אילה ('ayyala) means doe.

The verb יאל (ya'al) means to be foolish, gullible or even simply compliant and pleased to go along in no particularly negative way.

3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 

Jecoliah means "Yah completes." Uzziah, the Borrower, at age 16 [1+6] underwent One Shabbat. He resembled a man, and acted like the image of God.

For 52 years he did this, 5+2= 7, meaning he observed his Shabbat the entire time he reigned.

What does it mean to attain and always observe Shabbat?

The Gematria is 12-4-5-2, [12+9+2] =יבטב or "things will always get better."

4 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. 

See, I was right, Amaziah was following a natural course, which was frought with mistakes. The next generation of his personality, Uzziah, improved upon it, but only after Shabbat, and one other important thing called Zechariah:

5 He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear[b] of God. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.

זכר

The verb זכר (zakar) means to remember, to deliberately review, or to cause to remember or review — by means of public oration, urging and pleading, physical memorials, and so on.

Noun זכר (zeker) means remembrance, memory, memorial or invocation. Noun זכרון (zikkaron) or זכרן (zikkaron) denotes a memorial or token — a memorial day, altar-plates, stones, crowns, books, proof of citizenship, even spoils of war. Noun אזכרה ('azkara) refers to a memorial-offering.

6 He went to war against the Philistines and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh and Ashdod. He then rebuilt towns near Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines. 

Philistines= low born, have not attained Shabbat.

Gath= the winepress

Jabneh=What he causes to be built,

בנה

The verb בנה (bana) means to build, mostly of stone buildings and thus of houses and thus of families and dynasties: hence the association between this verb and the nouns אבן ('eben), stone, and בן (ben), son.

Noun בניה (binya) means a building in the sense of a structure. Noun מבנה (mibneh) means building in the sense of place of building. Noun תבנית (tabnit) means building in the sense of the act of building: a construction, pattern or image.

Ashdod= Happiness Beloved, the location of the Temple of Dagon, the god of Natural Abundance.

Towns near Ashdod=These Famous Five are listed in Joshua 13:3: Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, Ekron and Avva, and that's six of them.

Gaza=Strength

Ashdod= Loyalty, Devotion

Ashkelon=Happiness is Perseverence

Gath= the Winepress

Ekron= Extermination of Low Tendencies

Avva=Av= Wish, Va=Waters, the "Wishing Waters" AKA to replace fear with faith.

Avva is weird so I am adding Gematria which is 1402, which returns אדאֶפֶסב‎ ‎or Adapesv.

Adab= grief

Pesev= to cause to vanish, to replace with faith

=Chesed.

7 God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs "wanderers" who lived in Gur Baal and against the Meunites. 

Gur Baal= those who stir up strife

גרר

The verb גרר (garar) means to drag or drag away, mostly in a circular or repetitive motion. Noun גרה (gera) means cud, or food that's dragged back up, chewed again and sent back down. The identical noun גרה (gera) denotes a unit of weight that served as currency. Noun גרגר (gargar) means berry and the plural noun גרגרות (gargerot) means neck, probably after their signature wagging motion.

The verb גרה (gara) means to strive or agitate strife, obviously not by means of one singular assault but rather by repeated provocations and withdrawals. Noun תגרה (tigra) means contention or opposition. Noun גרון (garon) is a second word for neck.

Verb גור (gur) means the same as the previous: to quarrel or stir up strife. Nouns גור (gor) and גור (gur) both denote lion cubs. Perhaps young male lions were named after the verb גור (gur) because they are expelled from the pride and are forced to roam adjacent territories.

The verb גור (gur), namely — or a second and identical verb — is also often used to describe to itinerate or temporary abide. Noun גר (ger) describes an itinerant; a stranger or foreigner. Noun גרות (gerut) may describe a lodging place for foreign travelers but may also be part of the name Geruth Chimham. Noun מגור (magor) means dwelling place or itineration. Nouns מגורה (megura) and ממגרות (mammegurot) describes storehouses, or places were goods were temporarily stored on their way to the market.

Perhaps a third identical verb גור (gur) means to dread, but perhaps it describes dread that is built up over time and from many little threats and suspicions. Nouns מגור (magor) and מגורה (megora) mean fear or terror, but note that the former is identical to the word meaning dwelling place, mentioned above. The verb יגר (yagor) appears to be a by-form of this third verb גור (gur), and also means to dread. The adverb יגור (yagor) means fearing.

Meunites= the native population, the hidden population

ן

The verb ענן ('nn) appears to describe the deriving of solid theories out of hardly related observations. It's used to mean to divine, and noun ענן ('anan) means cloud (which appears like a solid object but is really a bunch of barely relating droplets).

Verb עון ('wn) probably means to conceal or cover. Nouns מעון (ma'on) and מענה (me'ona) refer to the lair, refuge or hideouts of animals, but often too to the habitation of the Creator, which is heaven. And that links this word back to the previous word meaning cloud.

Hiding underneath the growlers and complainers are Godly persons that need to be lead. If they cannot be lead, just as God told Moses about the Bitchers, just go ahead and kill them.

Hecklers, complainers, and strifers are forbidden by the Torah. The people that survive the Disciplinary Act will see the light. Here is more of that logistic regression I mentioned in the next verse...

Normally the Ammonites, "talkers" are the enemies of God, but here they change their spots:

8 The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.

9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate and at the angle of the wall, and he fortified them. 

10 He also built towers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, because he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain. He had people working his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.

Towers are related to the Fourth Day, when the stars came out. We build towers up, the stars come down, intelligence is the result. To build towers in Jerusalem is to bridge the process by teaching others how to live ethically and also happily.

The Corner Gate leads between North and West. What we are doing here by digging up the secrets of the Tanakh in order to learn what is hidden (N) in order to create an enlightened human race (W) is a Corner Tower.

The Valley Gate Tower= Valleys are where sinners expiate their sins and escape purgatory:

 The gate to heaven is understood to refer to Jerusalem, but Jewish tradition also identifies the valley of Gehinom (purgatory) near the walls of the Old City.

To build a Tower at this junction is to avoid the need to purge.

The Angle of the Wall= the right angle, meaning one must turn Right, towards the East and remain awake if one is also planning to reach the Northwest and remain anchored in what is known, memorized, and practiced, and avoid the pitfalls of the ego, the lax behavior of a loser like Amaziah who only got better at getting worse because he refused to honor the Observances and the Commitments of Ashdod.

The references to the construction of cisterns and the love of the soil etc. signs a man and his culture are reaping the benefits of the Torah, returns a Gematria of 10144, אאֶפֶסאדד‎ ‎ ‎apesadad, "To fly and look the Thunder in the Eye."

עוף I

The verb עוף ('up I) means to fly or fly away (Genesis 1:20, Proverbs 23:5, Isaiah 31:5). It's a very common root in the Semitic language area, and its derivatives are:

The masculine noun עוף ('op), denoting creatures that fly, such as birds (Genesis 40:17) and insects (Leviticus 11:20).

The masculine noun עפעף ('ap'ap), meaning eyelid (Job 16:16, Psalm 132:3, Jeremiah 9:17).

Apparently, in the Hebrew mind, an eyelid resembles a wing, and the function of a wing isn't only to fly with, it's more so to cover with. Hence Isaiah speaks of God protecting Jerusalem like a hen its chicks (Isaiah 31:5) and the Psalmist of seeking refuge under God's wings (Psalm 91:4). It may very well be that the ancients saw God as having wings (which, in time, should result in us having wings as well, being made in God's image; meaning we're still larvae), but it could also be that the Psalmist saw mankind as (a) the apple of God's eye (Deuteronomy 32:10, Psalm 17:8, Zechariah 2:8) and (b) at times safely behind his eye lids.

Hadad= thunder

=To be the best, to be the Apple of God's Eye.

Kirby horn headcanons

Aight so seeing people have positive reactions to my wing rant (70+ notes is a ton for my brain, yeowza--) really encouraged me to share more ideas, so let’s get to horns now!! Again, this is 100% my take on things, which can absolutely differ from person to person c: Feel free to go nuts with your own!!

For wings, click here!

Horns are something that grow in during mid-adult years at earliest. So, for Kirby’s species I’d say that might be... hm, maybe 800-ish years? 1000 might be more accurate, but like wisdom teeth, wildly depends on the individual, some get them sooner, some later, and some don’t get them at all. But for the most part, horns are not something that happen before adulthood.

(age of kirby’s species is very finicky so its hard to tell what’s considered adulthood for their kind. In the anime it’s mentioned Kirby woke up 200/300 years too quickly, so.. perhaps that could be considered early/late teens? Hard to say for sure.)

Although for the most part they’re just for aesthetic purposes, unlike wings which are a crucial asset to the species, some horns can also be useful in a battle, depending on the type.

I imagine they do need to be taken care of, otherwise there is a chance it could result in some form of infection, or in them ‘overgrowing’ - similar to real life’s animals with hooves when they’re not taken care of properly, which at the least causes great discomfort, and at worst, could actually be a health hazard.

These horns are durable, but it’s not rare for them to get broken down in battle, in which case, proper care is that much more crucial - because the horns themselves still contain the nerves, so it is a major injury. (Deer horns shed overtime and regrow, but a lot of bovine horns have keratin outside, and bone inside - I imagine Kirby's species is similar in that aspect!)

Common horns would include: Tiny spikes, standard goat - straight or curved, and curly ram ones. These are small enough that they serve no real combative advantage. 

Uncommon horns would include: Ibex, multiple horns, singular, and oryx - these are more suitable for combat, although the longer ones like the oryx could be very clumsy to work with due to the sheer size of those.

Rare horns would include: antlers (usually that of a stag) or just horns that 'split' in some way like a branch, corkscrew-shaped, and although not technically horns, antennae are possible too. The antlers can be vicious in battle, but a huge risk comes with them - like with stags, these antlers CAN get stuck and leave them vulnerable. Antennae are usually not combat-friendly, but in some rare cases they may be able to produce some form of energy depending on the specimen. They are very sensitive, however, and can get overwhelming and lead to sensory overload.

These are unique, which would include horns made out of gems, crystals, or some form of element, taking a non-corporeal form - perhaps not to the extent of mythical like the wings, but still something that needs to have certain requirements met. So for example, say they have some form of fire that crown the head like horns. These, I imagine could even be iridescent, and maybe if we go a step forward, may change color to go along with the other person’s mood or mentality. Horns can also be asymmetrical!!

Now, if we look at Galacta, who's horns change when becoming the Aeon Hero (light or dark), I'm not sure if that would particularly affect wether that's rare or not? Since it is a transformation, which I'd say isn't too uncommon, regardless if its elemental like Kirby's or just visually different, like Galacta's.

Also like with wings, I assume it IS possible for certain characters to not have horns at all. But unlike with wings, it’s not nearly as hindering.

SPIRIT ASTEROID (37452)

✧

DO NOT COPY, PLAGIARIZE, REPOST, REWORD MY WORK.

Hey guys! Few weeks ago I found out about this really cool asteroid named “spirit” which I strongly believe can tell you about your own spirit and your spirit guides. I have a little story, my clairvoyance always thought my best friend spirit guide was a lion. Turns out her spirit is in Leo. The lion is the great protector, meaning her spirit help her with confidence and things of that nature. Spirit asteroid shows your unique abilities brought to you to earth to use for greater good. Also, the 12th house is where spirit guides reside. The sign of your 12th house is also very important!. Do note any planets touching it as well. And DEGREES will have an affect as well. For example having an Aries degree could indicate they are a little more straightforward and this is also something you will develop.

From observations, the degree sign and the sign ruler of the house it’s in can you give incredible insights on how you were named!!! (Bunch of proof)

✧ Spirit in Capricorn: With the ruler being in Saturn having spirit in Capricorn can mean that you are brought down to this earth to balance out karma especially. If you had good karma from a past life time thats what you shall receive, if you had some bad karma to work out there would be some work you’d have to do in this earth, what you’re called to do. You are brought to be realistic, disciplined, workaholic, organized this lifetime. Your spirit guides embody the traits of a sea goat. They can be very direct and blunt when giving you messages and they push you to be very practical and realistic. You can count on them to redirect your life with practical choices. Messages from your spirit guides are very common in work- heavy areas.

✧ Spirit in Aquarius: Modernly ruled by Uranus, your spirit is quite different and unpredictable. You were brought to do a change, you are here to cause a revolution. You are brought here to be eccentric, ahead of your time (you may be able to predict future events), independent, original intelligence. Your spirit guides embody the traits of the water bearer. They are humanitarian, crazy intelligent, innovative. They can be very unique on their ways of sending you messages so it could be hard to predict.

Your spirit embodies the ram. They are impulsive when it comes to you being stupid and could give very direct messages. This could result in you being fired up when you get that feeling of intuition. The messages they sent you are in your face basically. I mean literally, you wake up and you see something that you literally dreamed of. They specialize in sexual things too so when you’re in that mood feel your intuition, it’s weird but trust me.

✧ Spirit in Taurus: Ruled by Venus, your spirit is loving, stubborn, pleasurable. You are brought down here to be dependable and hardworking and sensual. You are brought here to learn to see things from a different perspective as well. Your spirit embodies the bull. They are relax and loving when giving you messages. The messages they sent you are more of relaxed messages but also straightforward since they’re stubborn. They may specialize in sending you messages in relaxed outdoor settings like a butterfly or a literal bull. Earthy relaxed environments. 

✧ Spirit in Gemini: Ruled by Mercury, your spirit may be a twin that didn’t reincarnate (an idea) or a twin flame that may have not reincarnated (general) rare, but possible with the spirit in Gemini & they embody the twins. Your spirit is very communicative so do watch out. They are intelligent, quick to react, scattered. The messages they sent you are all about communication meaning they usually come from forms of writing. It could be easy to communicate with them through writing as well. You are brought down here to develop communication skills and to adapt to environments and to learn knowledge and share your knowledge within you.

✧ Spirit in Cancer: Ruled by the Moon, your spirit radiates femininity and motherly energy. They could’ve been a mother to you in past lives. You are brought down here to embrace your nurturing, psychic side, all emotions. You are brought down here to explore emotions. Your spirit embodies the crab. They are very protective of you and their messages come from within your truest emotions. Write down what you feel and your gut feelings because that is your spirit contacting you. Usually in very loving nurturing environments is when your spirit likes to send messages. Messages could also come from the mother/ any mother rule in your life. They protect you from toxic feminine figures.

✧ Spirit in Leo: Ruled by the Sun, your spirit radiates very strong masculine and loyal energy. They could’ve been a father / big masculine role in past lives.

Steve never realized how much he liked things in his mouth. Not always in a sexual way, at least not until after fighting Thanos.

After fighting for so long, bottling up his emotions was not at all how Steve needed to cope. He tried the yoga and meditation route Wanda had so kindly suggested. Yeah, after one session of hot yoga, Steve decided that it wasn't going to happen. Tony, obviously, suggested sex. Said something about it being a “healing experience for the soul”. That’s bullshit were Steve’s first thoughts when that came out of his mouth. Bucky told him to get some goats and raved about how therapeutic it was to raise them. But Steve could barely take care of himself, how would he even take care of a goat? Steve felt a hot sense of hopelessness burn against the back of his eyes as he sat on the floor of his bedroom, back pressed against the adjoined bathroom door.

“Steve?” A soft knock came from the front door. He took his thumb away from his mouth, he had resorted to subconsciously nibbling on the tip of it. Pulling himself off the door and towards the voice, he rubbed his tear-stricken cheeks in attempts to clean himself up a bit before seeing you.

“One sec, Y/N/N.”

When he opened the door, your face softened a bit before the smile that Steve, secretly, loved so much dropped off your face completely. “Stevie, what happened?”

Stevie, a nickname he hated for his entire life. A name that reminded him of the days before the super solider serum where he was a little guy getting beaten up on the streets of Brooklyn. Stevie, a nickname he loved hearing from your caring voice. Nobody else’s. 

“Just tired, Y/N” he sighed, “so,so tired.”

“Stevie,” your voice caught at the back of your throat. Seeing him in so much pain made your life turn upside down. He doesn't deserve to be in pain. “ S’there anything I can do to make you feel better?”

“Just stay with me? Please?”

You took him back into his bed and sat with him, just talking about life until his breathing turned back to normal and he seemed partially-okay. 

“Do you want to take a bath?” you asked, still stroking the blonde strands of his hair.

“Are you saying I smell?” He took his face out of the crook of your shoulder, feigning a look of hurt.

“No, punk, I meant to relax. You seemed pretty shaken up and I just wanted to help. I mean, that’s what I do when I feel down, relax in a bat-”

He cuts you off, “I appreciate it. Really, Y/N, I don’t know many people that are as loving and caring as you, sweetheart.” The nickname made a pang in your heart. You had like the super solider since you had met him, but never felt like he reciprocated the feelings. Even though you both cuddled often, and had movie nights, and he always let you beat him while sparring, and that one time you came down with a stomach bug and he fed you soup and-holy shit. Did Steve like you? “Sweetheart?”

“Huh?”

“I said, ‘A bath does sound nice’. What’s got you so suddenly zoned out?” He says, donning a smirk.

“It’s nothing. Let’s get you into that bath, mister,” you had a faux grumpy look on your face as you got up and walked to the bathroom, starting to fill the white, ceramic bathtub with warm water. “Okay, big boy. You need help getting up or are you okay?”

Rolling his eyes at your inauthentic tone, Steve pushes his tensed frame off the body and managed to stumble into the bathroom, while you following him closely to make sure he doesn't fall over from exhaustion.

“I get it, I’m old, but damn Y/N. I can walk perfectly fine,” He chuckles as he pushes himself up to sit on the counter top.

You start to fill up the bathtub with warm water, adding bubbles and lighting a few scented candles. He looked so pretty, hair sticking out in every direction, lips pink and puffy from biting them, his ocean blue eyes still misty as he looks down at his cuticles, picking them slightly. 

“Okay, I’m gonna leave so you can take this bath,” you say, shutting off the faucet, “Got it?”

“Y/N?”

“Yes, Stevie.”

“Stay, please.” His eyes were watering more than earlier. He had those puppy dog eyes, lip quivering as his voice cracked and wavered even with just a few words. He looked so vulnerable, how could you say no to him?

“Of course, Steve. I mean, the bubbles with kind of cover everything. I’ll just sit next to the tub with you, alright?” You awkwardly giggled and scratched the back of your neck. He nodded, hopping off of the counter and starting to undress himself with a wobble. “Stevie, you’re shaking like a leaf, let me help you.”

His eyes never met yours as you helped him pull his t-shirt over his head and looped your delicate fingers through the waistband of his sweatpants, dragging them down his muscular thighs. “You’re not gonna finish your job, doll?”

His boxers. The only clothes he had left on were his grey boxers. You wanted to give him privacy and not look, especially in such a broken and vulnerable state. But god, you could see the outline of his partially-hard cock through the soft cotton. You thought about what it would be like to have your mouth around his hard length, chocking on it as he rammed himself into the back of your throat.

“Ummm, I just--I thought--I mean I can---Only if you want--” The dirty thoughts clouded your brain. It made speaking a speaking a sentence almost impossible as your mouth watered just thinking about his cock.

“It was a joke, sweetheart,” he laughed heartily, “You’re too adorable.”

Pulling his boxers down his legs, he waddled tiredly over to the tub before stepping in. He groaned in pleasure at the feeling of the warm water encapsulating his exhausted body. You imagined that’s how he’d groan if you sucked his cock so hard he was seeing stars.

You were still facing the door, like you were as Steve got completely undressed. You knew if you turned around and look at him, naked and at ease, you’d jump his bones in a heartbeat. “Come sit with me, Y/N”

And you did. You turned around cautiously, like you expected, the bubbles covered his body enough for you to be able to handle yourself as you sat down next to the tub. You grabbed his hand away from his lips, running your soft fingers over his rough calloused ones. “I always see you biting your nails or cuticle or lips or your pens. Why?”

He sighed, “I’m not sure, I guess it just distracts me?” He said it more like it was a question rather than a statement. “I guess I don’t truly know why I do it, I guess I just enjoy having things in my mouth.”

You could read Steve like a book, his pupils blown with lust, his lip stuck between his teeth, a blush heating up his cheeks. You took a leap of faith.

“Yeah, like what?”

“You.”

His lips were on yours in a flurry, it took a second for you to react, but as soon as you did it felt amazing. Neither of you seemed to care about the water splashing over you as his hands trailed up your body, tugging at the hem of your shirt.

He pulls away panting, “F-Fuck, Y/N, I need you. Please. Oh my god I need you so bad,” His eyes looked as if they were welling up with tears and he looked so pretty still in the relaxing bubble bath, whimpering and whining for you. 

“God, I need you too, baby,” you stop to look in his eyes sincerely, “Are you sure you want this? I don’t want to do anything that you don’t want to do or that you will regret.” Your hand caresses his cheek.

“Just get in here with me and I’ll show you how much I want you,” he whispered, “Need you, really.”

You sighed before your hands moved shakily to take off your t shirt. As much as you wanted this, you were still scared of how the ripped super solider would feel about you and your body, As soon as your shirt was off, Steve was whimpering, dipping his hand into the soapy water to massage his aching cock. This only spurred you to take off your clothes and join him faster. 

“Did I say you could touch yourself, puppy?” Your stern voice caught him off-guard, making him pause his actions with a look of fear on his face. You step into the bathtub, straddling him. Your nails raked up his milky white thighs, trailing up his body admiring the beauty of it. “Y’Know I was planning on being nice to you because you’ve been so good to me, but you might need to be punished, baby? Do you need to punshied like a brat?”

He mewled, bowing his head in shame. You could feel him growing harder and harder by the second and you were starting to go crazy with the empty feeling inside of you that on he could fill. “No, ma’am. I’ll be good, I swear!”

“Mmmm, that’s my good boy.” Your hands slid up his chest and rested on his cheeks, hearing him preen at your praise, as you repositioned yourself over his cock. “Are you sure you want this?”

“If you dont ride me into next week right fucking now I’m going to scream, Y/N,” He breathed out with a chuckle, Grabbing your thighs, he helps you sink down on his cock. Both of you were moaning and whimpering messes by the time you were sitting at this base of him, trying to get adjusted to his large size. 

Hot tears burned at the back of his eyes as soon as you lifted yourself up off of him, only leaving the tip of him inside of you, and slamming back down on his dick. 

“Baby-please,” he whimpered, “n-need, shit, need your fingers, bad.” 

You were confused, slowing down a bit to make sure he was okay. But his puppy dog eyes showed that he was okay. Slowly taking your wrist from his cheek, he puts your fingers in his warm mouth. Moaning around them and swirling his tongue around them. He did it the same way you always dreamed about sucking his dick, chocking and gagging on his length.

“Yeah, you’re such a needy little slut for me, for this pussy. Look at you, so ruined and fucked out just because I’m fucking you.” He moaned sensually at your words making your core tighten impossibly. 

You had gotten a good idea as you were riding him. Slowly, you start to thrust your hand in and out of his mouth, watching the saliva dribble out of the corners of his mouth as he choked on you. The band in your tummy starts tightening as you feel yourself getting close. 

“Shit, fuck, baby, I’m gonna come. Oh my god, you’re make me come with your beautiful cock, puppy. So good for me, aren’t you?” Your free hand dips into the water, cupping his balls and rolling them around your soft palm.

He nods, choking on your nimble finger yet again his you massage his sensitive balls. “Gonna come,” he slurred and spit around you.\, “almost there.”

“I didn’t” you moaned as you feel his balls tighten, fall back down on his cock at a faster pace, “give you permission to do that. I thought you were going to be good for me?”

“I am” he spluttered loudly, “i am good, I swear. Just please let me come. I need it, oh shit, mommy.”

The name went straight to your core, making you grow weak as you feebly give him permission to come as you come undone with one more bounce on his large member. His hands come up to grope your breasts as he come with hot spurts inside of your tight cunt. 

“Oh my god,” you stifle a giggle as you stand up on shaky legs. You wordlessly helped him out of the tub and wrapped him in a white towel, walking him to bed while you dried yourself off. Collapsing on the bed with a grunt, the solider hollds out his hand to you, signalling you to lay down with him. You could easily tell he was still coming down from his sex high, starting to regain his self back.

“I dont know what possessed me to,” he pauses, trying to figure out a way to word the rest of his sentence, “to suck, I guess, on your hand. I’m sorry, Y/N, that was really weird of me.”

“What do’ya mean, baby? Having an oral fixation isn’t something to be ashamed of.” The words make him smile with droopy eyes, tucking his head into your neck and starting to fall asleep, happy and comfortable, cuddling you.

“And to be honest, puppy. I think it’s really hot.”

Steven Grant x Oc, Marc Spector x Oc

enemies/frenemies to lovers (Marc), friends to lovers (Steven), Angst, fluff, potential ooc Steven, I'm essentially making this up as I go

NOTE there's been a change in Khnum's design, he'll be from now on described as having an actual ram head. It's easier to draw and seems more fitting for him as the Divine Potter. I also feel like I'm consistently going to not write Steven's personality well at all so if anyone has any tips on writing him better feel free to send them! I'm confident I'd be better with Marc. i feel like it's obvious this is my first fanfic in years lmao

Khnum is far more displeased by the idea of being in London than anything else. Millie knows him to be a quieter god, unlike others, and yet when they had first set foot in London, all he did was mention how horrid it was that it was grey and bleak. He'd rather be in Egypt, basking in the rays, or perhaps Rome or Greece, watching the 'idiots', as he put it, wrestle until someone is declared a winner.

"There is doubt in your mind, child, speak it before it destroys you," he follows behind her, visible to no one else except for her. It's a shame, really. A nearly nine foot behemoth of a ram, staring you down with his piercing goat-like eyes? Yeah, she's sure the humans would love that.

"we are in London and there's no tasks for me," she retorts with a frown, "I can't simply wait on Steven to be my friend, give me something to do."

"You want for something to do? You desire to fiddle and work? Then you shall," he says, but she knows there's a catch, "befriend Steven. You have so little friends, it is pitiful."

"Oh, you're an ass, I was already planning to befriend him anyway. He seems sweet, and so genuinely... lost? I just have a need to help him, okay? Like it's... why am I talking to a god that only I can see as if he's my best friend." She stares blankly, ignoring the way the people that walk past her send her odd looks. Just another delusional American to them, she supposes.

"Back in my youth, everyone had friends, but you? You have a man who looks upon you and wishes you were another," he replies, unbothered, "you must get out and socialize. Your apartment is not nearly as comfortable as you think."

Millie stares at him, but then she sighs heavily. Back in his day? Yeah, back in his fucking day you married at thirteen, had five kids by sixteen, and died by your late twenties, early thirties. He's older than sliced bread, women's rights, and cellphones. It's amazing he's even talking in a language she knows fluently.

"Do you think Set is in the market for an avatar? I think working for him would be fun." She hears Khnum snort from behind her.

"You don't have the heart to kill, child, why else do you think he left you?"

—

"You're sweet, Steven," Millie snorts, walking at his side after an evening getting the best steak in town. "You deserve better than that gift shop. You know so much, it's wasted if you aren't sharing it! Especially if the museum isn't even attempting to get their information correct!"

"I can't complain, a job's a job, after all," he shrugs lightly, "I like it. It's not so bad. What do you do?"

"I restored things in a museum, typically it was Egyptian artifacts, but I left after the world threw me some problems. Now I travel, do odd jobs here and there." She responds, biting her lip. "I can't imagine we could open a museum, eh? Just the two of us and all that? Your brains my restoration skills?"

His face flushes and he looks away. "N-No, no, I suppose not... Seems awfully expensive... Sounds like fun, though."

"Do you do anything outside of work?" She cocks her head to the side, inwardly cursing herself for being so prying. "I ask because it'd be nice to meet up again!"

"I research a lot, mainly Ancient Egypt, but I read poetry too. I've got a goldfish, Gus, he's my little one-finned wonder." The way he speaks of his fish reminds her of how dog owners speak of their pups. It's cute, really.

"Do you have a favorite poem?" She asks quietly, then she adds, "do you read poetry to your fish?"

Steven laughs at that. It's a quiet, reserved laugh almost, but he laughs all the same. "No, but should I? Do you think he'd like it? If I read to him?"

"Yeah, I think he would. Of course he might not remember it, goldfish don't have a long memory," she snickers, "but I think he'd like it all the same."

"You're telling the boy to talk to his fish? And here I thought your time with Marc was depressing."

"It's pathetic, innit? You seem to have such a wonderful life, and I'm just someone who talks to his fish... you must be bored." He looks away, as if he had gone through this same thing many times before.

"Why would it be pathetic? People talk to their dogs and cats, why not fish? It's charming," she muses, "hey, maybe I can get myself a fish! That way we can talk about our fishes!"

They walk for a while longer before they go separate ways for the night. He had walked her to her apartment, though, which was very sweet. But she can tell that he's reserved. Shy is an understatement, but she probably has enough energy for the both of them, anyway.

—

"You actually went out and bought a fish," Khnum muses, "you could have made one, you know. What is the point of being the avatar of the Divine Potter if you will not use the powers bestowed to you?"

Millie presses her face against the glass of the tank. "I used the powers to make money so I could afford the tank, that has to count for something. But it's cute, I think I understand why Steven talks to Gus."

"Because he has no friends and neither do you? Yes, I do think I understand now, too." He replies, eyes narrowed. One of his ears twitch out of annoyance. "Your duty is to create, Millicent. There is unease in the world of the gods, and while people destroy, you are here fraternizing with a fish. You are more suited to Tawaret. You are not normal, and you never will be. To pretend otherwise is to delude yourself and you are better than that."

His words remind her of the very same reason she and Marc never got along in the first place. She was bound to creation, Marc was bound to vengeance. Khonshu had no qualms against killint to get the revenge he deems necessary, but a god of creation? Khnum would never willfully allow for the loss of life. Creation, and pro-creation are his thing, not death and destruction. She could create beasts to kill on her behalf, but it does not change the fact that she would be killing. But she was never a killer and one day, her inability to kill almost cost Marc someone important.

"You remind me that I'm not a killer, but sometimes I wonder what it would take to kill a god."

"If you cannot be a hero without having to kill, how can you consider yourself any better than them?" His eyes pierce into her soul, dark and inquisitive. "He will never look upon you as an equal because you do not kill when he deems you must. So, simply show him what you are capable without killing."

"Like what? Beat the shit out of him and call it a day?" She turns to look at Khnum but there's no one but empty space and what looks like to be some sand.

So, he expects her to be strong enough not to kill and powerful enough to be equal to a man of vengeance? She can do that.

Hey Bitch, Missed Me Yet?

Characters: Aguni Morizono, Hatter, Niragi Suguru, Chishiya Shuntaro, Kuina Hikari, and Me :)

Genre: Crack. You'll see why.

848 words

Ah, the joys of being unchangingly feral~

The Incident happened at approximately 10:20 in the morning.

The Beach, whether or not they were awake at that time, were awake now, to the sound of what only a few could call as music to the beat of seventy-two goats bleating to their Primordial Ancestors.

As they were presumed as the leaders, the head of the Beach lest it all would crumble into dust, Hatter and his executives as well as most of all militants all peer out their windows, to quite a sight.

“ Holy shit, isn’t that…?”

“ It is!”

“ So that’s where my door went.”

Hatter, donned in his finest robes and face mask still upon his delicate moisturized face, glares up at the being, stood upon what could only be described as an act against all that was holy.

Why?

Well, of course, people aren’t supposed to be floating meters above the air, stood upon a door with a stick acting as a mast and shirt as its sail. It was all tied down somehow by rope, one end held by the captain of the aircraft ( If it could even be called one.)

Said captain happily waves to him, pulling out a megaphone from behind their back. “ Hello members of the Beach! It is I, your local kleptomaniac!”

“ You! Just what is the meaning of this?!” Niragi yells out his window, the captain waving at him.

“ Oh, nothing~ Just the fact that I’m here to announce something ever so grand!”

Grand? Hatter cocks an eyebrow at this, the… Sky Boat drifting a little closer. Not close enough to catch, but Hatter is sure multiple militants are aiming directly at said ship if in the case something were to occur (Like breathing the wrong way) so it wasn’t as if they were completely off-limits.

“ Well? What is it?” A random citizen asks, the captain elegantly bowing.

“ Oh, you’ll see~ Maestro!” The person atop the raft snaps their finger, although there was no snapping noise to be heard.

The speakers whine to life, and Hatter thanks his lucky stars that he had the mind to use the restroom the moment he woke up from his slumber as every speaker within the confines of his paradise begin to blare, at top volume, the Space Jam theme song.

Upon the spacecraft, the being donned in a fox’s mask and tunic slips on nose cancelling headphones, the boat ramming straight into the side of the Beach whilst everyone is momentarily stunned.

Now, logic dictates that a raft crafted by a bunch of household items would crumble into a billion little pieces upon being slammed into the side of a building.

That’s what logic dictates.

However, under the same bullfuck that let the door-stick-rope-shirt mishmash float in mid-fucking-air, it also let it crash straight through the building in an oddly perfect-sized hole the exact shape of the craft and the being atop the ship.

Which, of course, was in Hatter’s room, Hatter ducking in perfect limbo formation as the boat zooms by. As he straightens up, he quickly notes his couches (Yes, both of them) being fucking missing. Again.

“ HEY! MY COUCHES!”

Alas, his voice was drowned out by Space Jam, the thief cackling giddily as they whisk around the mountain in the lobby as if it were nothing more than a magic carpet ride, couches in tow and several bullets now being shot at them.

“ ASSHOLE! STAY STILL AND GET SHOT!” Niragi yells, although unheard as the thief and ever so astounding Captain of Tomfuckery crashes into the opposite wall, and into oblivion from whence they came.

At that same moment, the speakers quiet, leaving a moment of peace and multiple gratuitous sighs emitted from several hundred guests.

Hatter, of course, calls for a meeting to figure out how to handle the next invasion by the thief or their friends. It lasts them all a good two hours, as the first was mainly for Hatter to vent about said thieves and how it was rather uncouth for them to enact literal property damage.

The result? Nothing, because when they leave the room, there on the ground was the door, rope, and shirt, all dismantled and in a neat pile, along with a timer.

Which was counting down.

Niragi picks it up first, along with his shirt. “ The fuck is this?”

“ Looks like a bomb, throw it.” Aguni grabs the timer and chucks it into the air as it ticks down, the timer reaching zero.

However, the timer simply lands and decks a poor passerby below over the head.

“ Wh-“

“ Nothing happened?” Aguni mutters, but a massive explosion that shakes the entire building proves him otherwise.

“ That sounded like it came from your room, Niragi~” Chishiya says with a smile, Niragi booking it into a run. The rest follow at their own paces, some curious and others simply worried over what just happened.

“ BITCH! THAT MINT FLAVOURED RACCOON DICK BLEW UP MY BED! WHY THE HELL IS THERE- IS THIS CREAM CHEESE?!”

“ For goodness sakes it’s not even noon yet…” Aguni grumbles.

Ok theres a few groups of staff

The owners (diavolo and doppio and co owner giorno and his dad dio)

The doctor (cioccolata)

The caretakers (staff who look after livestock for a week to get them settled in)

And other staff (farmhands)

The owners are pretty self explanatory. They own the joint. Giorno scares dia and eventually will take over the farm

The doctor cioccolata. Cio scares everyone but he does an exceptional job and most importantly whatever diavolo tells him to do. Administers your usual healthcare like vaccines and assists in births but also does plenty of messing w aphrodisiacs, putting on chastity belts, etc. Definitely molests livestock

The caretakers look after livestock for a whole week. Mostly for training: teaches them to use all fours, to stop speaking human language, etc. Caretakers are also a sign of protection for the week, so any livestock picking fights w New livestock gets punished more severely. This is a greater relief for new cows as cows are forced to breed and make milk and calves for the farm, but for a week w their caretaker they will not be bred

And farmhands are farmhands. Most are hired to do your usual stuff. Some are volunteer. Some are sleazy and molest the livestock, you get it.

The livestock has a few groups

Race horses, work horses, (guard) dogs, cows and bulls, rams and ewes, chickens and ducks, and lastly goats.

Livestock is obtained either through kidnapping (the farm has a group of farmhands usually go out looking for people with traits they need such as gender to snatch off the street in a huge van), being born onto the farm, from unruly staff, from being sold onto the farm, or from volunteers

The farmhands, when recieving new people from kidnapping, being sold, etc basically anything that isn't being born into farm life do an evaluation to choose what animal they are. Those with beautiful, full hair are sheep, those with fertile bodies, huge breasts, etc are cows, those with large frames and muscle are work horses, those with particularly sharp teeth are dogs, you get the gist

Sometimes if someone qualifies for two or more animals, they'll choose the animal based on what they need most. If they have enough of all the animals thr farmhands may choose the animal or in rare cases kill them, take them home for free, etc. But again its rate they have enough of every animal and choose those options.

All livestock gets an ear tag with different colors telling staff immediately what they are.

Caretakers i have noted are: bruno, risotto, prosciutto, lisa lisa, rohan, and a few more i can't remember

Farmhands I've noted are: Abbacchio, Hol Horse, Ghiaccio, Melone, Steely Dan, Mariah, Suzi Q, Weather Report, and more

Livestock I concluded:

Work Horses: Jonathan, Wamuu, Esidisi, Kars, Santana

Race Horses: Will, Johnny and Speedwagon

Bulls: Joseph, Caesar

Rams: Jotaro, Kakyoin, Anasui, Straizo, Akira

Dogs: Secco (cios personal pet), Hazamada, Josuke, Jolyne, Narancia

For the others i havent thought abt it yet but there are more for every group ive mentioned in staff and livestock

Let me state the farm is fucking massive like half a county massive. Diavolo runs a fucking empire here. Also its a stand-less hamon-less au.

The farm usually isnt open for visitors and when it is it's a small area with the most well behaved livestock meant to farm money off kids and their parents

The farm is only open to those who are "buisness partners" such as kira who often buys his girlfriends for cheap there when he needs em

Within society this is a very well liked farm and considered the best in the country. In this society everyone does see the humans in the farm as livestock and as only animals- but on a different level than that of animal animals like iggy. They're still animals just a lil closer to human. This is why some farmhands see no issue with sexually abusing livestock: theyre human "enough",

Kira is one of the only people who sees them as people, his viewpoint is horrifically rare in this world

There is one kind of animal thats its own thing and its foo shes a phrog

They had nowhere to put her when they found her so they just gave her a little mini pond in one of the farms corners and called her a frog. She does fr eat bugs too

They try and keep breeding within the same species that was chosen for them, but there are plenty of cases of crossbreeding and cross romance, some crossbreeding goes undetected and some gets found out it rlly depends on how obvious it is

An example of cross romance is anasui who's yknoe a ram who really wants to fuck jolyne whos a dog

Uh cant remember anything else lol

OH DEAR LORDDDDD--- this is so detailed and im HIGH KEY OBSESSED HELLO-

[aeltri]

Manly Hall was correct in that the key to knowing how the world really works lay in the language of universal symbols. As you know my line has the Second Sight and as everything falls into place I realize what I was meant to warn against all along. I had my first significant vision when I was around 9 years old. In it I saw a menacing hooded figure and then beheld a bottomless pit that lay behind a great door with two bronze pulls shaped like ram's heads. When I was 11 my mother had a vision in which she saw a great black furred demon rise out of the ground to the left of my bed as I lay sleeping. She said that it was a hideous mix of human, goat and bat. Fast forward to HS and during a ouija session that I was witness to but refused to participate in, I specifically remember the planchette pointing at me and then spelling out "well of darkness". My overly curious friend was, rather tellingly, a victim of RA and her paternal grandfather had come over to the States via Project Paperclip. It's important to note that I was a GATE kid that kept being "tested" periodically even in HS. I've always tended to attract rather unusual people with family ties to Intel/Military, both because we are alike but also by design. Not all of it is mundane in origin, there is a far greater inhuman scheme at work here. Since then I've had experiences and visions leading up to the same thing; the great danger posed by opening the veil between worlds which is CERN's hidden purpose. A purpose that some of the more reckless occultists have been working towards for centuries. I myself have studied the occult in order to better understand what I've been shown and what is happening. I had a vision of someone whom I shall not name on the top floor of a tower and he pointed to a spot on the horizon as if telling me to go see for myself. I suddenly saw myself in a Swiss city that I later found out was Sion>Zion. It's impossible to go into every detail but suffice to say I saw underground passages and fighting going on. Recall the three Infernal Principalities (Bune, Belial and Astaroth) that have shown me their destructive intentions towards mankind during the last decade. Bune appeared at the Vatican, if I were to guess what that meant it's that each head "speaks" through a pontiff of which there are also three. The eagle is the spiritual White Pope, the king the aristocratic Grey Pope and the wolf is the bellicose Black Pope. What I now believe I beheld was an unholy trinity heralding the rise of Abaddon/Apollyon, the Destroyer. Apollo is a solar deity the duality of which is Diana, remember that. Also keep in mind that the fourth dimension represented by the hypercube (black cube of Saturn) is the confines of space-time. The false third eye of Abbadon as Shiva is a vesica piscis resulting from the forced merging of two opposing polarities. Now who does that also remind you of? Baphomet. Our own third eye is full of light and is what we use to perceive the spirit world! Prophecy speaks of a great evil emerging from the sea (of men?) and destroying them through their eye, singular. If you look at mass media etc you see these themes being repeated over and over again, it's no coincidence. People still wonder why I was a teenaged doomsayer? I saw it coming, all of it...

Dragon Age: Inquisition Daemons

So here’s another group daemon selection. I make my choices based off of a mix of analysis (The Daemon Forum is my favourite spot, link) and general vibe as well as plot/thematic things. For this, a lot of inspiration has come from fanfiction I’ve read where the daemon choice just makes sense. There will be minor spoilers for these characters personal plot arcs. Please let me know what you think, and share your own headcannons!

*As a note I tend to pick more mammals than anything else and I am working on widening my selections, but I still run very mammal-centric.

Solas - Common Raven. Raven’s are very clever birds and are great problem solvers and strategists. They go after what they want, and while they can roam in groups, they can work on their own as well. They are also mischievous and cocky; they will pull the tail feathers of larger birds to distract them from food or just for fun. This clever, cocky, proud bird is a very good match for our not-so-humble apostate. Thematically, ravens can be seen as death omens since they often eat carrion. However, they are also called ‘wolf birds’ because they have been known to have working relationships with wolves for hunting. Therefore a raven on the shoulder of a wolf would just make sense thematically to me.

Dorian - Scarlet Macaw. Parrots are far too clever for their own good and boredom is their worst enemy. Along with being bright and flashy to match the sparkly mage, their also very loud and opinionated and dramatic about everything just for the hell of it. I think a Macaw would be bold and striking on Dorian’s shoulder, and would have a razor tongue like the mage. However macaws can also be easily stressed and fall into self-destructive behaviour in bad environments. Thematically I think this parrot would have little bald patches hidden under its wings from where it would stress pluck. An interesting healing arc would be the bald patches growing back in as Dorian is accepted for who he is and doesn’t have to hide himself anymore.

Vivienne - Mute Swan. It can be said of water fowl that they appear graceful and serene on the surface but that’s because you can’t see the intricate paddling going on underneath. I feel that summarizes Vivienne well; she is serene and powerful and graceful at first glance, but behind the scenes there’s a lot of work and whispers and gathering of information. Swans are also very strong and assured. They could break bone with the strength of their wings, and they are confident and assured in their place and their power and status. Furthermore, they’re dedicated to their goals and will put in the work to reach them. However, I also like a swan for Vivienne because they mate for life. They are devoted to a single partner, and when that partner dies they mourn heavily. Vivienne appears unruffled and absolutely pristine to everyone around her and that’s because very few are allowed past her mask to see the softer heart inside that loves and then mourns her loved ones.

Iron Bull - Wild hog/Boar. Pigs are very underestimated animals - they appear big and slow, but they are vicious and incredibly intelligent. Pigs are seriously violent and I think this matches Bulls blood-thirsty battle-lust. But like Bull, his daemon would be underestimated; a war machine on the outside but the mind of a great spy on the inside. They’re social animals, and highly adaptable to a range of environments, and they can be very defensive and protective of themselves and those they care about. Overall I think a boar just suits every aspect of Bull visually and thematically.

Cassandra - Ram. *I initially said Mountain Goat but I had meant a Ram/Big Horned Sheep. Usually I headcanon Cassandra with a dog, a hound of some sort, but this was just very interesting and I quite liked it. When looking at a description of a Ram*, I just felt like it spoke for itself: “ Thick-skinned, competitive, and proud... Assertive and quick to put others in their place when they're crossed, definitely the confrontational sort. Highly defensive of their personal projects and themselves. Highly confident, not ones to doubt their abilities... Likely stubborn and highly straightforward, possibly blunt. Possibly planners, probably quite determined and persistent.” Cassandra is a hard-worker, determined and stubborn. She’s definitely the kind to attack a problem head-first, but she does have the capability to be quick, light on her feet and strategic about her approach. Rams are of the sheep family, and thus are very loyal and close to the people that belong in their circle.

Blackwall - Milksnake. Snakes are generally non-confrontational. They don’t pick fights but they will finish them, which is something I can see reflected in Blackwall’s more laid back attitude towards battle than the other warrior companions. Milksnakes are also very adaptable and will do well wherever they are. They’re a mix of solitary and social, they like being around others but also need their own space. They’re also rather internal and have a lot going on inside they don’t let show, not the kind to wear their heart on their sleeve. Mainly I enjoy the thematic meaning of a milksnake. Milksnakes are adapted to mimic a poisonous snake. Their colour pattern is close to that of a much more dangerous snake, and as such they often trick predators into thinking they are something they’re not. I like this thematically for the not-Warden who is pretending to be something much more fearsome than he is.

Sera - Rat. The common rat is an incredibly adaptable, resourceful, hardy creature. They will find a way in whatever circumstances and use whatever they have to their advantage. They are highly social beings and are made to work in groups, in teams and with others - a network much like the Red Jennies or little people. They’re bold, assertive, and even a little aggressive at times.  A rat is seen as vermin and unwanted, but they’re everywhere and are clever and have their little hands in everything. Also, rats are thought of to be tricksters in mythos - the Chinese zodiac being an example of a rat tricking its way to the top. Sera uses her tricky playfulness mainly to pull pranks and cause mayhem, but she also uses it to stick up for others and assert her place in the world.

Varric - Vampire bat. Now I like the headcanon that dwarves don’t have daemons due to Fade-connection stuff and instead have weapons/armour like Armored Bears, but for the sake of argument I wanted to find what his daemon could be. A vampire bat is an unusual animal, and I think it, like Varric, would be the kind of person you don’t easily forget encountering. They are very sensitive, aware animals and are very in-tune with their surroundings and whats going on. They’re very social animals and thrive in groups. They have great communication skills and form close bonds with those they’re close to. Varric would do anything for the people he is closest to, and his natural environment is surrounded by people spinning tales and connecting with others. I think it’s an unusual daemon choice but I also like the idea that its a fun parallel to a surface dwarf - an underground animal, i.e. a rat, but in the sky with wings.

Cole - Unsettled. I think that if Cole did have a daemon, it would be unsettled. He is a spirit and he is in constant state of flux, despite having a central purpose of compassion. And even if he becomes more human, he is very reminiscent of a child learning the world and as such I do not think he would be settled until he becomes more settled in himself. (I do have further headcanon ideas about this spirit-daemon stuff but that may be another post, or a later addition to this one. Let me know if you’re interested)

Leliana - Mongoose. Leliana was harder for me because I don’t know her as well. I didn’t play Origins, but from what I know she was a much younger, more playful, less burdened and jaded person back then. I think this suits a mongoose very well. They can be very inquisitive and open and playful in their youth, unfearful of the wide world and ready to investigate anything to learn more. But as an adult they are more cautious and guarded. Mongoose are incredible predators and are very adaptive, able to take on even snakes that others don’t dare attack. They are more solitary and secretive, and I think an elusive, mysterious mongoose would be a wonderful hint at the fierce power hidden behind the cooler facade of her everyday persona. Brutal, subtle, and unexpected, a mongoose fits the spymaster well as far as I know her.

Cullen - Border Collie. I always knew Cullen would have a dog daemon, it was just a matter of which. He’s loyal and extremely hardworking, and so I decided on herding dogs. I chose Border Collie specifically because of their intelligence, independence and ability to think strategically. This is the kind of dog that will happily take orders and follow command, but will also work on its own to get a job done. Of herding dogs, Border Collies also have the ability to be a bit more ruthless, I feel. They aren’t timid dogs and if left to their own devices could become destructive and rough due to boredom and lack of stimulation. Also, they are predisposed to listen and obey and thus could fall prey to poor leadership (as seen in Kirkwall). Any dog I think could fit for our loyal, hardworking Commander, but I think Border Collie is a good fit. A bit of a farm-boy turned soldier, follower turned commander aesthetic fits thematically with his overall arc.

Josephine - Zebra Longwing. This kind of butterfly is beautiful and poisonous, a perfect combination for our ambassador. Butterfly’s are social creatures and do well around others. Furthermore this kind of butterfly works in groups to achieve its goal, suggesting a calm, diplomatic mind that is good at working with others towards a goal. Furthermore, butterflies are very sensitive and aware creatures; they pay attention to their surroundings and are very intuitive about the environment and others. Lastly, with a slightly toxic nature, these insects warn off predators with their flashy pattern that advertise them as dangerous. I like this because I think Josephine’s daemon would be a great hint at how not-helpless she is, a bit of a giveaway to her power and abilities. Plus I think a pretty butterfly perched like a beautiful broach suits her aesthetic.

So... people are aware that the new MCR symbol isn’t just a regular cross right?

It really closely resembles the Templar Cross, which was used by the Templar knights, which was a Catholic milita group. So I decided to do some more research to build on what I already know and pose some possible theories/connections to everything.

First, the Templar Cross is supposed to be a symbol of martyrdom, which I think fits into Gerard’s whole martyr/Joan of Arc/Sent from God complex. This is obviously pretty weak but I found some more interesting stuff

On Friday, Ocotober the 13th, (yes, a Friday the 13th in October), 1307, King Philip IV called for the arrest of a large group of French Templar knights. The reason for the arrest was that God was not pleased with them. The Templar knights were accused and suspected of “[being] forced to spit on the Cross, deny Christ, and engage in indecent kissing; brethren were also accused of worshipping idols, and the order was said to have encouraged homosexual practices.”

So, there’s a lot to unpack there. The aesthetic that MCR has presented so far is very witchy, occult, etc. so it would make sense for them to use the cross that belongs to a group that literally started the Friday the 13th superstition, worshiped idols, as well as participating in homosexuality.

What I think is even more interesting is that in this article, it states that these knights that were arrested were worshipping Baphomet (or a severed head, but let’s focus on Baphoment). Baphomet is a goat figure that represents Satan. This really stuck out to me because of the Offering video MCR posted.

I’m not an expert in anthropology, and the skull in the video could very well be some sort of dog, but the long snout reminds me of an animal in the deer/goat/ram family. So maybe the connection I’m seeing here is how the Templar knights worshiped Baphomet compares to the goat-like skull used in the My Chem video.

And do you guys want to know how these knights were tried? They were burned at the stake. Which ALSO plays in to My Chem’s witch aesthetic, and Gerard’s whole Joan of Arc thing.

Last note is the cloaks that’s MCR was wearing in the video. I know everyone wore capes back then but when the Templar knights were in the Crusades, that was essentially the uniform they wore. The placement of the cross on the back of the cloak is very similar to how the Templar knights wore them.

Anyways sorry this post is long, my sources are all from here
