The main gang didn’t know Laurence was a changeling until after the nether because his body started eating up his love stores (actual term for changeling fat), which meant holes started forming in his hooves

God…. God real.

GUESS WHO'S BACK TO RAMBLE HEHE

I'm sorry for the horrible ms paint doodles but I needed something to explain my Shadow Knights

anyways ramble under cut as always

cw mention of cannibalism and light gore (?)

SHADOW KNIGHTS!!

Undead fellas /silly

In all seriousness shadow knights are well, yeah undead, a subcategory of undead in my rewrite, specifically knights of our dear shadow lord

humans affected by sk magic

there's humans like brian and alexis that have been exposed to large amounts of shadow knight magicks, which made them have the same 'veins' sk's have under their eyes, but still be human (ie. alexis' curse)

usually there's no side effects to large amounts of exposure to shadow knight magic other than mood swings (irritability or rage)

incomplete (premature) sk's

a 'premature' shadow knights eyes are their original eye color with very small hints of red in them, as if alluding to the side of themselves they pick to repress typically only magicks users can see the red of their eyes, and the 'veins' they have around them. to the untrained human eye their eyes look their original color but don't have any life in them

they have a hard time controlling their temper, still attempting to retain a sense of humanity that they have long lost

immortal sk's

to become immortal a shadow knight must kill either their lord or the person closest to them, and ingest their heart (as mentioned in gene's story), or alternatively, they must take countless lives of the innocent

once immortal they may gain different abilities, or a boost to the ones they already own. ie. Gene's mind manipulation working without having to touch the person (unlike his mortal counterpart)

another example is Zenix' flame manipulation (despite not being a magicks user)

general shadow knight facts

they're smelly, especially when having recently emerged from the nether shadow knights have an incontrollable appetite, similar to a

zombie, they can eat human food but it doesn't sit very well with them (the only thing that'll control their appetite is human flesh)

there's certain shadow knights who's bodies cease to exist (or are reclaimed by the earth in the mortal realm). in cases like those they are made new vessels of materials of the nether

shadow knights stop aging once they gain their immortality

Shadow Knights hibernate in order to heal their bodies in the overworld, their healing can be sped if left in a place that'll connect it to it's undead roots (morgue, graveyard, etc), due to the fact they feed off of the dead spirits lingering, using what little energy is left of them to heal.

Shadow Lord > Sergeants > Commanders > Magicks Users > Soldiers

with the hierarchy set above we go

shad > gene > zenix (pre betrayal) > sasha > vylad (before caught) > glenda

in terms of the shadow knight 'rebels' we have (in strength)

vincent > zenix (mostly due to his instability) > vylad > laurence > amethyst (this is before the rebellion is properly set in place, still during season 1)

anyways thank you for attending my ted talk /silly

Garroth sleeping next to Laurence for the first time and he wraps his arms around Laurence just to realize he isn’t breathing and there’s no heart beat.

Obviously, Garroth freaks out, shaking Laurence to see if he’s dead. Laurence wakes up causing Garroth to freeze as they just stare at each other.

Garroth drops him and apologizes for waking him up, explaining that his heart wasn’t beating and he wasn’t breathing.

Then Laurence explains that of course he wasn’t breathing because he’s literally already dead.

Shadows knight’s are literally walking zombies and are not breathing nor is their heart beating.

Laurance and Zenix as the rebellion leaders in the nether but Laurance keeps formally introducing Zenix to their troops as his stepson and Zenix is getting increasingly pissed off about it.

[xyxofspades]

Laurence after the portal closed, probably

(Also yeah that's gene but I might change that design)

[screeching-chaos]

Okay so there are two ways to become a full shadow knight right, kill the person they were protecting when they died, and like mass murder. Laurance killed, a lot. He went to war, and then the whole werewolf marriage storyline, and then he led a rebellion, against a god. That's a lot of murder, what if he did become a full shadow knight. Stuck in the nether, the man he once was completely gone, he doesn't notice. Not at first at least, he gets in a fight, and suddenly he's stronger, more than he ever was. He catches his reflection in some metal of some kind, his eyes are red. Not the burning red with veins coming out, just red irises. He doesn't rest as much anymore either, he didn't think much of it, but suddenly more and things are making sense, and he hates it. He never knew his kill count, and even now he doesn't. It's high though, higher than he could have ever wanted. He hates this. So when only he and Vylad are left Irene offers them both the opportunity for reincarnation, and if they will keep their memories. Laurance he wants to forget, he has to, this person he had become wasnt Laurence Zvahl and it hadn't been for a long time. Vylad, he wants to remember, Gene's words ring through him as he makes this choice "someone has to remember". So Vylad remembers everything, and Laurance forgets everything. Vylad watches as everyone makes the same mistakes over and over again, but this was his burden to bear. He sees changes to the story, but every time it's a tragedy. A proper one too, one where there is no happy ending, but rather a bittersweet ending that is full of grief and pain, but also acceptance.

"Você vai embora e meus sonhos vão contigo"

"Me esquecerás" trend with the laurences!!

[pheonixdrop]

Laurence makes up a bullshit reason to make Gene calm down because he NEEDS structure. Needs to have a purpose. Needs to have reasons. Needs to be told to know what to do anymore. He isn’t a good weapon anymore- but his magic is useful. So he has to stay alive until they can take that away. That makes sense. That’s why Laurence is keeping him alive.

(The whole thing kind of pisses Laurence off. Sure, Laurence wanted Gene dead, but the idea of revenge isn’t appealing anymore. The Gene he wanted to kill was the one who would rather die than ever surrender to the rebels- not this version that begs and pleads for execution.)

SO REAL…. God he would be so uncomfortable

[insert-username-here566]

A thought about Laurance. I'm not "fixing" the love triangle, just making it make sense. Garroth makes plenty of sense to me, but Laurance?

So it's Canon in my rewrite that in order for a shadow to grasp humanity after being turned into a shadow knight, they must think of someone to ground them. This will turn into the person they must kill later on to gain immortality.

I think she was the first person he thought of. Not the only, but one of them. He knew he wanted to protect her, and he liked her. Emphasis on the liked. But after everything of all people, he thought of the shadow lord chose her.

Sure, the shadow lord didn't even know he forced laurance to fixate on her. He wasn't even fully formed.

Something Something laurance is in love with aphmau because shads influence. Something Something him not knowing how many of his emotions are altered by shad and not known what's real or fake. Cue Identity crisis.
