#oughhh this is just so sweet

[spotaus]

HEY!

It is me!

I had a thought concerning New Age AU :D

I spend some time thinking about waht you said.

That the castle Nightmare (and dream and their family) lived in. The royal castle.

Is the tree of emotions.

So. So hear me out.

I wonder that. if the castle is the tree. does that mean it may be a bit sentient.

You said that nightmare can easily change it because he is conencted to it (the apple ritual) but i wonder if the castle itself is kinda sentient.

And VERY mad about how its powers got used.

Maybe the story of the twins. OG story. is connected to the prophecy. But it was a warning.

It was a warning to remain united. To trust your family and to listen to them when they ask for help. To believe them when they notice things about people youdon't notice.

To warn away from going out on your own. warnign away from searching for power that you shouldnt take. (the apples were never suposed to be eaten after all.)

And of those twins the one who ate the apple actually succeed in killing their twin. that the grieve of that moment intensified the emotions based power source into overdrive which caused the one who ate the apple to even gain godlike abilities.

the whole prophecy was a warning.

The royal family that settled in this place. found the story. found the tree (having recovered after the twin who ate the apple died) and instead of seeing a warnign. saw a to do list.

The lessons they took:

power makes you undefeatable

the power makes you stay in control

the best way to gain this power? eat an apple and kill someone important to you.

attachment is a weakness waiting to be used to grow more powerful.

sadly after they grabbed and misused one apple? they got paranoid. if they can use the tree to gain power others can too! so they cut the tree down. and to make sure it could never grow back. build the castle on top of it.

Meaning there is only ONE apple. the one consumed by the one true ruler. and the ruler neeeds to willingly summon their apple/soul to give to eat to the new ruler. to pass on the forbidden knowedge and power through lessons and traditions.

over time the trees influence took over the castle. but because the ruler ate the apple and has a direct connection they can still control the castle.

the tree/castle watches as nightmare broke the cycle. as nightmare refused to hurt ccino (adn so his brother) nightmare, even through fear chose love and trust.

the castle willingly helps and protects nightmare.

and when nightmare lost the apple's power? officially breaking that godforsaken cycle? the castle is just more protective. thorn now protect the castle and the trees around it hide it.

this is of course. lost knowledge. the royal family made sure to destroy the knowledge in fear of someone standing against them.

but nightmare managed to break it still.

and maybe... just maybe... now somewhere deep in the castle. deep underground as a forgotten meadow deep underground. in a beautiful little cave. a new tree starts to grow to truly help heal the land.

haha sorry this got long again lmao.

but yeah! If you have the tree/castle kinda sentient you can have that the very land was trying to sabotage the old rulers but couldn't do a lot because of the one apple's power and so having to listen.

it would be the source of all that powerful magic.

Ough. It SO is slightly sentient.

Ancha once again you have obliterated me w/ ur storytelling istg-

Okay. I love that this info has been lost completely to time. Like. The only one that's aware is the tree/castle itself.

I think the interpretation I like here is that, the stump is somewhere within the grounds, maybe even in the treasury or armory, but the *roots* make up the building kinda cypress tree style, so as they cut down the tree, the once vibrant life in the old roots turned to stone and was left almost completely powerless. (I am, unfortunately, a sucker for the idea that there was a time that *someone* treated the tree with respect 😔) (Also hense the new young tree sprout growing out of the ground deep in a hidden cavern, because the roots relocated the power to a safer location.)

The castle, desperately grasping for that power back, so no one might mis-use it ever again. And then seeing Nightmare resist its twisted urges (like u said) in the name of love and care? It rips that power away the moment it loses its hold on Nightmare, and takes the seeds of magic away from harm's reach. But... Nightmare isn't upset by the loss. He doesn't go digging to get the power back. He... doesn't dig for *any* power.

Less blood is shed in vain on its land, more plants and ecosystems are allowed to thrive.

And gods, just the idea that the castle grows up plants and trees to better defend itself abd the people inside? This reaction is spontanious and Night assumes it connects to the state of the magic leaving him, but it doesn't harm anyone so ehhh. But the tree is trying to encourage and protect those who helped it without knowing...

And dude the whole story of the og story and both twins dying and then a family misconstrued that entire story into one of power and consumption and betrayal??? Waughhh it's beautiful....

I'm losing my mind here at the storybook level magical healing and forgiveness and learning lessons, I love it so so dearly <3

I'm not immune to corny tropes

together again

gorgeous art done by @fanartrogue !!

[vampireboba]

wanted to share this fic that i have been obsessing over day and night since i read it.. 🥹 i love it sososo much pls give it a read!!! ♡

[greyswarden]

thinking about ariel and morrigan today. circle mage meets apostate who could not be any more different in terms of morals. they’re also best friends. and they have a child together with the soul of an old god. they’re both so interesting much to think about

[ever-emotes]

ahhhhhh I adore your emotes and your art style ajcjjjsjcjfjd

just saw the shrugging and disassociating one and omg sjcjjdjfjc

I love the 3 disassociating one, bros just standing there 🧍‍♂️ its great /gen

also the crying with the "✨" one gives off

"crying but successful" or maybe "ironic success" sorta like when you struggle really hard to do something but then find out you didn't have to do all that at all, or figured out an easier way to do it? that, it's that emotion lmao

anyways hope you're doing great!

Aww you’re so sweet aughhh. Tysm, I’m glad you like my emoji doodles, it really means a lot. I love making emojis that have a wide variety of moods they could mean, like with the crying pray hands one. It does definitely give off the vibe you said as well!

Hope you’re doing well too, this was such a nice thing to wake up to

[dandyshucks]

WHAT IF KIDS SHOW FOR KIDS IS REALLY GOOD????

[twistedlovelines]

Oh my god speaking of deuce's jacket. Omg.

LISTEN OUUGH,,, like. Wearing his jacket around during the school day, it's all very sweet and endearing, quite innocent,, it makes deuce go all warm in the face every time he stares at it,,,

but like then we go pay his dorm room a visit (or vice versa), and he's greeted by us just wearing ONLY his jacket,,,like maybe it's a bit oversized, so it reaches juuuust below the hip line,,, and we drag him over to the bed or couch or whatever, then straddle his lap and just coo about how good he did today and that he deserves a reward for being such a good student, caressing his jaw then his cheat,,, then he's going absolutely insane because he can feel our bareness (so warm) pressing against his lap and he's never wanted to rip his pants off SO BAD in his entire LIFE.

,,,,OUGHHH RIDING HIM,,, and he's just moaning so much and whining thinking to himself how insanely hot we look with the buttons of the jacket all open and our chest visible,,, something about having just one item of clothing still on the body just makes it 10x more arousing and he's certainly losing his mind as he smells our own perfume lingering on the jacket,,,

-going insane fr, 🍰 anon

YESSSSS he gets so flustered seeing u wear it to town or in class...why wouldn’t he be? It’s not like the scenting of a therianthrope, but it’s pretty damn close. Ace gives him so much shit for it and calls him whipped, but that same man hasn’t had a long-lasting girlfriend since middle school LOL.

When he gets back to his dorm and finds you in nothing but his leather jacket, casually scrolling through your phone, he nearly collapses to his knees right then and there before you tease him, asking him if he’s grown so bold that he’s gonna leave the door open <3

He rushes to lock the door immediately afterwards, desperately thanking the seven in his head for what he’s been given. 

The pad of your thumb presses against his bottom lip and it takes his last shred of dignity to not let out a moan. Rosy, slightly chapped lips part and his breath rushes over your finger, his pink tongue peeking out.  “Do you think you deserve a reward, Deuce?” He whines at that, hands fisting in his lap.  “I’ve worked really hard…Can I- Could you give me a reward? Please?”

Oughhh something about the way you look from above him, your skin shining with sweat as you ride him, fingers digging into his shoulders for support… orz he’s so down bad he’s surprised he didn’t cum in his pants the second you sat on his lap. 

Genuinely he’s so clingy afterwards it’s so sweet akhdsf. Aftercare with Deuce is usually thorough (he gets so tired and sleepy) but he’s especially tender after this, wrapping his arms around you and being reluctant to let go. He’s never gonna look at that jacket the same way for a few days after you surprise him like this LOL <33

[beddybites]

BITE HI. i was listening to one of the kimetsu stage play songs, the Hashiras, and oughhh my god i immediately thought of your hashira god games animatic all over again… i’m just imagining your depictions of the hashira while i was listening to the song and i wiggled (<- excitement)

OH MY GOD TUNA DUDE IVE BEEN WANTING TO MAKW AN ANIMATIC WITH THAT SONG SO BADLY

ive had their introduction part of the song saved on my phone for a year now i just keep forgetting to sit down and actually do it oh my gosh

THIS IS SO SWEET BTW . IM GONNA DIE

[octtinkk]

The pantheons betrayed

One Narinder and Angie. I mayyyy be making a comic and fic of this sooo👀👀👀

au explanation under the cut oughhh

Narinder was one of the five bishops, the five gods, each representing the trials of life, and able to take and cause them as necessary. however, unfortunately, it was noted by his siblings that he was weak, pathetic, far too much so for a god of death, as such, he was dispersed of. In an attempt to defend himself he tore from his siblings, eye, throat, ears, brain.

A god is not so easily killed, let alone one of death, so he rotted, in a purgatory of some kind, his last breath echoing with no end, until one day, a little lamb came to his realm, his hell, how so? This was realm belonging to those killed by the gods—…ah.

That lamb was sweet, innocent, weak. Just like Nari—

no, he was no longer by that name. He was no longer one of them. He was a creature, waiting and stalking for a chance at revenge, he was the one who waited. Yet no more, a small lamb he found relation in, a small lamb, a small vessel. A vessel to take revenge. A God needs a preacher, correct?

No longer will there be 4 remaining gods, only one will be by the end of his culling…

…Only two(🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈)

Tldr; Narinder was killed by the other bishops(now a pantheon of the only gods) for being too weak a god, and that means The Lamb will kill them bc they relate to each other, however, it seems the lamb could just be the begging of a new pantheon? (Also they’re kinda 🏳️‍🌈💅 together ngl-😳)

[ghouljams]

freak ass pygmalion soap (or john!) and his hand sculpted soft wife galatea….

WAAAIT jason and Medea….. oughhh jason is so messed up idk if any of the guys would Actually try and do what he did…. maybe if it was like jason was really trying to help medea but in a really odd way?

apollo and daphne….. that’d be gaz for sure, i mean just look at him

I REALLY LIKE MYTHOLOGY GHOUL PLEASE

FREAK ASS PYGMALIAN SOAP

the man spent hours(days even) pressing his finger into his beautiful and soft sculpture's cunt, staring up at it and feeling the marble under his tongue. Almost misses the unyielding stone turning to flesh he's so focused on the way his spit slicks your skin. You know he's doing freaky ass shit to his sculpture even before you're alive.

Apollo and Daphne yes but also consider Endymion and Selene for Gaz???

Gaz with his beautiful but oh so sleepy darling, his perfect mortal love made immortal by the gift of sleep. Your sweet murmurs and the soft grasp you have on him. Carrying you around olympus only to settle you on his lap when Price calls him to meetings, pressing his lips to your forehead so as not to wake you, and stroking his hands over your sides. He's so nice to you, so caring, he's even gentle when he eases his cock into you, no no darling you keep sleeping, Gaz has you.

[princeblue]

Genuinely sanemi and genyas dynamic being witnessed by other people is so funny to me, like imagine ur Tanjirou and you have beef with only two people in the world: guy who killed your entire family and turned your sister into a demon and guy who stabbed your sister and was just doing his job but because HE stabbed your sister you don’t forgive him even though you’re friendly with all the other Hashira who called for your literal death. Anyway. You meet this guys younger brother and he’s just like “oughhh my brother is so sweet and kind and he wouldn’t even hurt a butterfly I swear!!!!!‼️‼️‼️” and then two seconds later you’re tackling him so his brother doesn’t blind him, and then another two seconds later the guy you just saved is punching your best friend because he called the psychotic brother a psycho.

Ik tanjirous patience is praised a lot but truly he needs a reward for dealing with the Shinazugawa’s.

canto 7 pt 3 spoilers and thoughts and stuff

i really didn't expect her to be like.. locked up. by herself. its so sad. i feel so bad for her in the lighthouse. also the I WANT YOU poster cracked me up.

vergilius calling her "my lady" was cute. i thought we were going to get more of their friendship this canto but apparently not. maybe later :( but also what's up with his eyes?? who's his old friend??? WHO did he take the eyes from?? it's not don quixote because he still has his eyes, so it's either the bloodfiend moses spoke with, or it's the progenitor?? or there's more first-gen blood fiends we don't know about.

adding more guesses to the dante's identity flame:

dante is bari/the bookhunter

dante is vergilius' "old friend"

dante is the bloodfiend vergilius got his eyes from

dante is verigilius' old friend who IS the bloodfiend vergilius got his eyes from

dante is dante and their old self is destroyed

dante is an extremely powerful unknown character who gets their memories back but after their canto they pull a don quixote and chooses to live the rest of their lives as the dante we know

sanchos expressions were really really awesome. she's just so... augh....

THESE GUYS REALLY PISSED ME OFF.

i'm not smart enough to understand the implications of this. but ??? sinclair standing up for donqui?? yaaaayy!!!! the sign??? and also him paralleling bari is definitely not a coincidence. i wonder what the mark of cain has to do with it all.

i didn't notice while i was playing but sinclair starts blushing when he asks her to open up. they're so cute. and they're trying their hardest to be vulnerable to their fucked up lil family. i love them.

WE GOT OUTIS LORE!!! LET'S GO!!! this was surprisingly vulnerable of her... and dante's response of "I will. As long as they have the will to change, to move forward, I will be there for them." was great. also girl what do you mean TENS OF THOUSANDS??? i'm starting to think outis has a lot more guilt for the smoke war than she lets on.

uhh and speaking of change that's another theme that's popping up more interestingly enough. yi sang, sinclair, and being "unable to change" is what caused heathcliff to distort. interesting narrative theme. (starts side eyeing dante and outis). also change being one of the biggest themes of library of ruina, with roland and angela needing to break the cycle of the City to achieve their good ending.

bari is cool as shit

the cutscene that follows this where they're all talking about how much fun they had with donqui through the stageplay was genuinely both so cheesy and sweet i almost cried.

oughhh i'm not bothered to grab screenshots from every part i enjoyed of the final point so we're doing dot points again!

sancho's backstory of being born alone and wishing to die before don quixote gave her love and life was... holy shit. "That is why you saved my life from the periphery of death... tried to share your love... and made my heart beat again."

again with the themes of suicide. the original don quixote sees sancho as special because she doesn't want to inflict suffering on others and instead simply wishes to "burn myself to ashes like I was never here". and that's how she gets her first family. because she suffered alone. and then don quixote makes his children suffer alone in la manchaland.

"I don't know who I am" lyric in Hero hits really song. YEAH I FORGOT TO MENTION MILI PEAK!!! it really feels like some of their older music, especially something from mahoyaku (the Big Moon in the background during the final phase certainly helped). the second part sounds especially like Cast Me a Spell. or something from miracle milk with the way the instrumentals and sfx sound. i really like it.

DON QUIXOTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAA

"She was incandescent, like a brilliant star twinkling in the night sky. / That very brilliance compelled me to reach out and hope." OUGHHH. dante's role in this chapter has been really interesting... they're like her, they're chained to their past but are also playing the role of someone who they don't know who they're meant to be. they have a really passive role in bringing sancho back to the Gang, with the other sinners stepping in to help her moreso than dante themselves, and then at the end, it's sancho who saves them, acts as their star, and gives them their dreams back (of having all the sinners together as one big happy family).

and just. holy shit. this entire sequence.

I DID NOT EXPECT A QUICKTIME EVENT!! big cast a spell vibes... i genuinely gasped when the fireworks went off..

LMAO SHE'S MAKING FUN OF HIM FOR THE ROCINANTE THING. also kyaa hong lu's teaching dante how to smile!!! i'm sure this won't have any terrifying implications next canto!!! definitely!! there's some interesting parallels to what donqui said about dante having an "expression" and what demian said about being able to hear them all the way back in canto iii, because donqui/demian listen to their "heart" and not their actual face/voice. interesting

also new dante sprite please???? please??? new dante pose perhaps even??? please????

interesting we're getting the clock ticking closer to doomsday after canto 7 and not 8. with the trajectory they're on, doomsday will happen during or after outis' canto (and before faust's). fun. can't wait for the random lore drop next intervallo/event where they take turns feeding don quixote their blood. please. please. please???

mili peak. pass on peak. feelings peak. augh. i love my idiot family and their pet Cosmic Horror Entity. although i would argue it's a family of 15 and not 12!!! i love found family!!!!

Hello, I love your stuff and adore the thought of an average joe y/n being best friends with or dating three giant robot assassins! It's so great and whether it's romantic or (my personal fav) platonic, it's adorable!

I just keep picturing in my mind certain moments like: the three coming back from some assassination to a domestic movie night because y/n came over for a visit. Sun's having a bad day with his shadow self/intrusive thoughts and y/n just helps distract him with cuddles and youtube food videos. Bot's feeling chaotic and needs help with a prank, y/n is there and so down to help spread some mischief. Moon's feeling a little reckless and does something dumb that has y/n fretting and reminding him to take care of himself. Y/n sneaking over one day to make breakfast for the boys and feeling embarrassed when they remember that, technically, the boys don't eat but they eat it anyways because y/n made it for them!

Moments with average joe y/n feel like a nice reprieve, a moment of normalcy and domesticity in the boys chaotic life. A happy, sweet balance :D

As you can see, I have so many thoughts on this! I'm so sorry for this long rant XD

Oughhh yess I am guilty of imagining my insert being average joe Y/N in sc wahhh

These 3 could never really experience a “normal” mundane life, ever since the beginning. Sun and Moon were trashed tiny bots, not like they could get up and get a normal 9-5. 8ot got close to it with Vision, but we know what happened with that.

In this case Y/N is there to re-introduce humanity in a more serene positive light compared to what their brutal full time job has to offer. It’s mostly shallow people, greed and overall chaos. Even the part-time daycare job reminds them that even the youth can be subjected to repeat their parents mistakes, since the place is only for those who can afford to toss their kids in there.

They’re so used to be being surrounded by snobby people, but Y/N reminds them, there is definitely still good in people living in this city.
