#searching for redemption?

[helluva-hazbins]

@lachrymosestorm asked:

"So I'm curious," She asked as she grinned Lucifer's way. "Where did you put that painting I gave you?" // (Something small to make up for how not around I've been. Dez is still thinking about Lucifer every day)

She had garnered his attention, he stood against his cane, eyes trailing along after her, listening as she spoke.

"That's a secret~" he grinned.

The moment passes and he breaks his farce with a laugh. Looking off in another direction he gestures his head as though to follow him and begins spinning his cane; walking along through the nearby corridor. He opens a large arching doorway. A fairly contented expression on his face as he places a hand against the small of her back to gently guide her inside. It's a room, of course, a wide space decorated with ornate furnishings. A large grand piano in ivory white near one wall and a slew of other fine looking instruments arranged in their own placemrnts throughout the interior. Potraits hang, covering the wall and their walk comes to a full stop infront of one. Looking up, it's the painting by her own hand. He admires it again, in her company.

"As you can see, I found the perfect placement for it."

[Aw, honey~ continued story driven plot just for him~? You shouldn't have~]

RAGH I need to talk 💥

I 100% believe that Dutch was a self serving person from the start of the game and some time prior, but I agonize over when it started. I think Hosea even says Dutch was different before. Was it when he lost Annabelle? Was it always just who he was? The saddest thing is that he genuinely helped and brought some people together, but it seems like he may not have truly believed in what he built.

From the beginning of the game, he gave me MAJOR cult leader vibes, especially with all the speeches. They all usually circled back to trust in him, and the kindness he showed his gang likely only served to earn their devotion. Which is probably why he took to Micah so quick and why he pushed away people who genuinely cared. Micah to him seemed perfect cause he was never a 'doubter'. He hated it when people questioned him even though they did it out of genuine love. Cause he didn't 'love' them, he loved their affection and their devotion. He blatantly encourages this devotion by stressing how important loyalty is over everything, which everyone parrots. "He would do it for you."

Dutch was a ticking time bomb from the start, Hosea's death was just the fuse lit. Despite Hosea ultimately backing down everytime he questioned Dutch, he was at least seen as more equal in some way. He did seem to hold Dutch accountable, even if just a little. Hosea was also crucial in binding the gang together. Everyone followed Dutch as a leader sure, but Hosea is seen by most everyone as a father figure making them a family. So when he was gone, nothing was stopping Dutch from cutting others loose.

Arthur's increased skepticism probably threw him too because Dutch always saw Arthur as a wholely devoted follower instead of a person. He's like one of those parents who expect to map out their child's life for them, with no consideration for them as a separate human being. The whole "You insist?" line comes to mind. Dutch is dumbfounded by this because he raised Arthur to be an extension of himself, a tool, so it genuinely shakes him when Arthur defies him. Maybe he even thought with Hosea gone Arthur would listen to him more, but instead he became him.

Okay I know that my last post has already got traction, buuut, I found more audios and just HAD to add them into the track.

[frog-man-moments]

quick question for azula fans,

how would you feel about azula getting a found family arc instead of her rejoining the royal family?

[batclowner]

i do not understand why atla writers still didn't make azula happy/gave her redemption/made her heal, it doesn't make any fucking sense why people that made atla, that made so many good deep heartbreaking stories didn't do the same with the traumatized 14 YEAR OLD

i know they wanted to do that, i know they didn't had enough time after the show, but they made comics, they made books and I dont understand why they keep doing other things then writings the healing of azula, they can do this, they showed it with different characters in atla and tlok so why not azula? almost everyone can agree that the comics are a disappointment but the biggest one for me is the lack of azulas redemption, we have the fundaments for it (the search comic and azula in the spirit temple) so do it.

its been 13 years. and you only made the little steps with 2 comics

let her be happy, let her be healed

hating hod is a red flag tbh. never trust a hod hater

[rattiwolf]

i just went to visit kieran's grave and spotted a horse that looks identical to branwen standing there staring at his grave. When I approached the horse, it immediately got spooked, ran away, and despawned.

this was the only picture I got of him. Has anyone else seen this happen?

"it's about redemption."

[pinescent-and-gingerbread]

Damn wild Blood bay Thoroughbred I'm going to finally find you, and when I do... Oh, when I do I swear...

... !!I'm going to love you and treat you like the good boy you are!!

[honeyedboneset]

NOTICE: This post is under construction as of aug 17, 2024. it is not up to date. hello! i'm boneset (or bone). thanks for stopping by my super-specific search thread! if interested, please leave a reply or dm me!

a bit about myself: she/her. I'm currently in my late 20's and have been writing/roleplaying in some shape or form for 12+ years. i'm in grad school (and will be for awhile) and work full time in mental healthcare. occasionally, days are wild. 

when it comes to writing, i generally write somewhere between 500-1k words a post. the shorter the post, the faster i can write. i definitely value someone who's writing fits with mine over length or anything like that. i'm also super flexible when it comes to post rate. if it takes a little bit, that's totally fine! especially if we do build a rapport. i want this to stay as something that's fun for both of us. it's a hobby, so it comes after everything else.

doubling. i play a canon for you, you play one for me, and i love every character as my own. OR we both play two ocs who fall in love against their will. Idc.

m!canon x f!oc preferred (or m!oc x f!oc). I know who I am. I have no shame. I’m so super cautious about m// and f// after years of running into folks treating it as a fetish.

ooc chatting. for the rps that have survived my hiatuses, it's been because we made friends, or at least friendly. i like talking, sharing head canons, all that stupid crap. tldr: i need someone to send memes to.

ooc over discord, please, after we’ve graduated to that. DMs first if you don’t mind.

email, discord, gdocs, and tumblr in order of preference for the roleplay but I'm open to any.

i am a sap for romance. less so for super slow burns. sue me. I can barely read slow burn much less write it.

500-1000 words is my sweet spot for responses, but i'm not that fast of a writer, depending on what's going on. see: why i like ooc.

hard limits: be 18+ (21+ preferred) | will not write with people who identify as male (he/him) | incest | fetish stuff | abo | pwp | pedophilia | furries/beastiality | explicitly written sexual assault | abusive relationship dynamics between main characters | heavy substance abuse | main settings being medical | most highschool settings/underage characters | genuine love triangles or infidelity between main characters

pairings and all below the break!

for fandoms, I’m going to list what I’m looking to play the oc in. I am super duper happy to play nearly any canon character for you.

I redrew (and redesigned) my Portal boi because he definitely needed a refresh!

Sum details:

His mask broke during the long fall in Portal 2 but he kept it anyway

I'm going with the stupid "Portal 2 happens 50 000 years into the future" theory because it's complete nonsense and I fucking love it so, because he spent so long in the Relaxation Vault, he got very pale (he was already pale in Portal 1 but not as bad)

For the same reason, his hair grew pretty long (he shaved it after escaping)

He got the massive burn scar on his left arm from an energy pellet grazing him

Oh yeah, trans rights also

And I just realized that I never shared his backstory here so it's under the cut if you're curious!

In chronological order:

Mitch creates Aperture

He puts Ophelia at the head of the entire facility

Ophelia realizes that Pedro would make the perfect test subject so she wipes his memory -it's the first and only time that a full memory wipe is done on a subject- She then realizes that watching him test would make her feel bad so she gives him the mask to hide his face. That way, she can watch him test without any remorse.

After a few tests, she puts him in a cryo-chamber (because she wants to put him through much harder tests that have not been invented yet)

Mitch and Denny are (forcefully) hired as test subjects but are brainwashed. They are both put in cryo-chambers

Not long after, Ophelia decides to turn herself into an android so she can live forever and control the entire facility. The scientists warn her that this can cause severe memory loss and mild insanity. She does it anyway and loses all memories of her human life. She now has full control over Aperture.

Judging all the scientists useless, Ophelia floods the Enrichment Center with a deadly neurotoxin

Portal 1 happens

At the start of Portal 2, Pedro is woken up by banana Pedro (who is a core in this AU) who wants to help him to get out of here.

Basically the same story happens. But Pedro eventually encounters Mitch and Denny who try to take him down. He kills them in return (Denny didn't have his long fall boots)

They finally get to Ophelia. Though, contrary to Wheatley (who got corrupted by the mainframe), Core!Pedro was actually planning to take Ophelia's place from the beginning. He stuffs Ophelia in a potato battery (she appears as an hologram being projected from the weird eye/circle thingy on it) and sends she and Pedro down the elevator shaft

Pedro's mask breaks during the fall, which leads Ophelia to realize that his face feels familiar after they reunite

While going through old Aperture, Pedro and Ophelia learns the truth about themselves (thanks to all the pre-recorded messages)

The rest of the game happens pretty similarly, except that at the end, after shooting Core!Pedro into space, Ophelia tries to get Pedro back to testing (after all, he IS the perfect test subject). Pedro refuses and attempts to destroy her. He fails, but Ophelia gives up and lets him go as she does not want someone who will try to destroy her 24/7

Basically like in Blue Sky, Pedro ends up in a small town where the people help him back to full health. He settles here and eventually finds out he has great cooking and baking skills and gets his own little cake shop (I'm not sure I still want this to be the post-game for this AU but I'll leave this here anyway)

These notes date back to 2020 HOLY SHIT IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS

Playing one of the old Jake and the Never Land Pirates games on Flashpoint made me realize that the game, Journey Beyond the Never Seas, makes a better finale to the show than the actual final episode.

hi everyone!! my name is sara, and at the moment i’m currently looking for new roleplays!! i am a former quotev user, but with the recent downfall of the site after the elimination of groups and messages, i am looking elsewhere to roleplay and make some new friends! (:

some info about me is that i am a twenty-one year old cis woman, and i loveeee star wars and the last of us primarily, but i also love red dead redemption, the x-men, game of thrones, etc. i currently am working full time, and when i come home i enjoy playing games or hanging out with my cat, but i also am wanting to get back to roleplaying as a hobby!

i have been roleplaying for nearly nine years now, so i’m very experienced! typically i enjoy doubling up and doing oc x cc! i typically write anywhere between five hundred to a thousand words per character response. i loveeee plotting and headcanoning and overall chatting outside of the roleplay, so that is a must with me!!

some of the fandoms i’m most interested in right now include star wars (the bad batch, the clone wars, prequels, and the mandalorian specifically!), the last of us, red dead redemption (one and two) and game of thrones! if you’re interested in roleplaying any of those or just being pals, feel free to send me a message! (:

thanks for reading xx
