#sorry this is also literally faust this is all he does.

[child0feden]

Lol sorry for that😭

maybe your fav Faust pics? Or the helvete ones are cool too!

You're so sweet btw

no need to apologise, honey! seriously, do not be sorry :) 

of course! well, the helvete picture that includes bård drinking milk in the corner actually doubles in as one of my favourite pictures of him so i can do both for you! click to enlarge some of the pictures, these are just some of my favourites of him hehe…

bård drinking some milk in helvete ( a favourite because it is just really cute and i always wondered here, maybe the lighting and angle is just odd but does it not look like he has short hair here? he likely did not have short hair but it kind of looks like it, maybe it is tied back or something? )

bård taking a selfie ( i think he is taking a selfie here anyways, does not look like a picture taken by someone else! the picture was taken in his apartment, this is the coloured and uncoloured version of this picture! the coloured version is much better in my opinion! a favourite because he just looks cute ) 

bård playing his drums ( including a peek at him shirtless playing the drums during what i believe was the concert emperor performed in uk liverpool 1993! i am not 100% that it was the uk liverpool concert but i think it was! a favourite because it is just nice to see him doing something he was and is probably still so good at ) 

bård in emperor band pictures with vegard and tomas ( the bottom picture is sourced from the cd booklet for in the nightside eclipse but i am unsure of where the top one comes from! no major reasoning for these two being a favourites, i just think he looks cute in both of these, his sweater and fingerless gloves look very comfy ) 

bård actually smiling ( he has such a cute smile and i absolutely love it! he looks so cheeky holding the pig head, so full of genuine admiration next to øystein and just so genuinely happy with tomas! also the slight teeth lick in the van picture? straight to horny jail )

bård in corpse paint ( a favourite because he just looks like a little baby raccoon and most of it is literally just white paint with zero black, real unique lolol ) 

bård but beefy ( my personal favourite era for bård, so hot! he beefed the fuck up by boxing in prison ) 

hopefully you like these, i have so many pictures of black metal men on my phone it is not even funny and thank you so much! i am glad to hear you find me sweet, i would not want to treat you guys any less when you have all been so sweet to me <3

Hi 👋 I've seen your theories on limbus company and I'd like to have your opinion on the chapter 8 ? Did you watch the live ? Any theories so far ?

Hi! First, thank you for the ask and sorry I took a long time to answer !

I did watch the live and it was super interesting but of course what I was the most interested in was the preview image for Canto VIII. And so of course I have some things to say regarding this image:

Firstly, regarding the original title, I’ve already seen many people mention the direct translation of the Korean title, which would literally give something like: “There is no other choice but to look.”

If we were to adapt it to make the sentence sound more natural in English, it would be: “I have no choice but to look.”

수밖에 없는 is a grammatical structure often used to express the lack of choice or alternatives.

We can’t help but draw a parallel between this phrase and Hong Lu’s situation: Hong Lu has no choice but to observe and accept his situation and what happens to him. It emphasizes his lack of choice and personal will, as well as his inability to act upon it.

The use of a verb related to the sense of the view is always amusing when talking about Hong Lu.

Now, looking at the English title: “The Surrendered Witnessing”, I think it can be interpreted this way:

Hong Lu is the surrendered one: he is the one who has yielded, abandoned, and submitted.

Thus, he now merely observes and accepts what happens around him, as well as what happens to him/what he is asked to do, etc.

Strangely or not, I can’t help but think, when reading these two titles, of a very important Taoist concept for the character Jia Baoyu: “wu wei” (无为).

In Taoist philosophy, wu wei is often translated as “non-action” or “effortless action”. This does not mean total inaction but rather a way of acting in harmony with the natural flow of things, without forcing or resisting. It’s the idea of letting things unfold naturally.

However, if this concept has been corrupted by the influence of Hong Lu’s family and, in a way, by the tone of Limbus Company’s world, we can quickly see how this concept could have been distorted and used to shape a docile Hong Lu who relies on this idea of non-action to accept and justify what happens to him and what he has likely endured for a long time.

Perhaps this is even the famous concept Faust mentioned, which Hong Lu relies on to avoid breaking down and distorting. After all, if one considers it normal to act and respond according to the influence of one’s surroundings (for Hong Lu, his family) and to accept this as self-evident in a way, then it is probably easier to live with such a situation. But if this foundation is questioned, then everything Hong Lu has accepted and endured is also called into question, inevitably leading to the question: “Then why did I endure all of this if not for that reason?”

Of course, Hong Lu’s character makes it easier for him to accept this vision, and his upbringing and naivety undoubtedly play a role.

As for the Chinese phrase on the right 不思观望: it could be translated as “Do not hesitate or wait and see,” or, to elaborate, “Avoid overthinking and hesitating.”

• 不: not —> mark of negation

• 思: consider / think of / long for / miss / think

• 观望: wait and see, watch something from the sidelines (waiting without taking action)

It seems to respond to the title and directly contradict it.

It appears to encourage taking action and not waiting, emphasizing avoiding overthinking or remaining in passive observation.

Is this the influence of Lin Daiyu?

Regardless, it seems to be adresed to Hong Lu and to invite him to break from this mechanism of « non-action » and to move forward / take action.

Then, if we look a little at this teaser image itself, we can see Hong Lu’s house, his mansion, still in these red colors but appearing much larger and more imposing than I would have thought based on what we could see in his EGO. But what we see in Hong Lu’s EGO might just be an interior part of the mansion.

The mansion indeed seems “closed” and surrounded by walls protecting it from the outside.

Finally, this turquoise luminous mist surrounding the mansion is quite interesting because, first, it obviously evokes the idea that this place is a lost illusion, created through an illusory fog.

The fact that its color is close to that of Hong Lu makes me wonder if this illusion is maintained somehow through Hong Lu’s existence or presence.

Potpourri of small ideas and theories (The first 4 are more affirmative than the others):

1. A theory I’ve had for a long time: Hong Lu actually ran away from his home in our world, and his family is looking for him.

2. Recovering the golden bough won’t be the hardest thing and might even be given to us by Hong Lu’s family in exchange for his return.

3. The golden bough will be located at the center of the mansion in a place called the Prospect Garden —> a place where Jia Baoyu spent part of his childhood/adolescence with his maids and cousins.

4. Hong Lu’s EGO phrase will change to: “Let’s go visit the Paradise of Truth” (the new name for The Land of Illusions during Jia Baoyu’s second visit at the end of the novel).

5. Hong Lu is (linked) to an abnormality (maybe Yin and Yang).

6. Does Hong Lu have a connection with the Moonstone?

7. Does Hong Lu bear the Mark of Cain? (Yes, I want to know which other sinner(s) have this f*cking mark. Sonia hinted at it!)

8. The fairy-like abnormality will appear / be relevant for this Canto to make a parallel between the fairies from Dream of the Red Chamber and the ones from Limbus Company. They also share a color palette similar to the one of Hong Lu’s left eye.

Thank you for the ask!

[enlitment]

N°2 for the book asks

Thanks for the ask kind anon and sorry for taking forever to answer! (this one was not easy!)

Top 5 books of all time?

In no particular order:

1. Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood

Set in an interesting historical period (Canada in the 1800s) + partially based on real events + focuses on women's issues + from a female perspective + includes complex, morally grey characters + unreliable narrator trope + criminal (sub)plot + weird historical psychoanalysis & psychiatry + some really great writing. Need I say more?

(Also the show is actually really good as well, if you don't feel like reading the book!)

2. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

I mean, it's a classic for a reason. Gay yearning. Corruption. Murder. Beautiful descriptive prose. But hey, this is Tumblr, so I feel like I'm preaching to the choir here.

(Still need to get my hands on the uncensored version at some point!)

3. The World's Wife by Carol Ann Duffy

I've reread this one more times than I can count. Duffy draws on the classics (mostly Greek mythology, but also fairy tale characters and even Faust) but reimagines them through a more contemporary, as well as female perspective. That could go wrong really easily, but this book in fact does a stellar job in my opinion.

Just read Eurydice, my favourite (I don't think I've ever felt quite as represented by a poem before). Or Medusa. Or Pygmalion's Bride.

Or, you know, and poem that is not Mrs. Tiresias - I like to pretend that one is not there.

4. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

Very much my teenage obsession. It's a gripping read written from the point of view of a teenage criminal that speaks in a strange mix of English and Russian that is at first barely coherent. It's raw, it's brutal, but it also asks some very interesting questions about the nature of morality and free will in a way that does not feel forced.

Oh, and the movie's great as well. Possibly the best soundtrack of all time. So good and so problematic that it's been banned in the UK until the 2000s.

5. The Great Cat Massacre (and Other Episodes in French Cultural History) by Robert Darnton

A collection of essays focusing on the microhistory of 18th century France? It's a real mystery why I like it so much, huh.

It's actually a bit insane how much I owe to this book. It arguably helped to spark my Rousseau and Diderot (and, in general, enlightenment era) obsession. I also sneakily reapplied Darnton's argument to justify my thesis (it's totally necessary to study 18th-century mental health approaches, give me all the funds now, please! /s).

Darnton is not only a hilarious author, but you also get a sense that he truly cares about the people he writes about. If you get your hands on it, I recommend reading chapter 4 (includes police description of the key enlightenment figures, like V, Rousseau, and Diderot!) or chapter 6 (the Rousseau stan culture analysis).

Maybe skip the titular chapter, especially if you are fond of cats. I'm afraid the name is, in this case, quite literal.

[chaotic-history]

Thank you @enlitment for the book tag! Putting it in a new post since it's long. This probably isn't the best time to do this when my brain is still brain fogging, but here goes

Last book I read: The Satyricon by Petronius, specifically the 1694 translation (shoutout to V's birth year). It's the second most fully preserved Roman novel, and I don't know what I was expecting from it, but it's just kinda meh? In its defense, the translator has a very specific writing style that didn't read very smoothly for me, so I'm sure it's much better in the original. The best parts imo were Encolpius and the poet complaining about modern (ie, to them) things in the exact same ways that we complain about the exact same things now.

Book I recommend: The Terra Ignota series by Ada Palmer. It's a sci-fi series with a philosophical bent set in the year 2454 and written mostly in the style of the Enlightenment era (the narrator, Mycroft, has a very bad case of 18thC brainrot). One of the things it touches on really well is how gender is perceived in different ways according to different standards, and I don't want to explain that since I think you have to go into the book not knowing a lot-- it's throwing you into a society that's as different from ours as the 18thC is, and you're supposed to feel like that. And I know "the worldbuilding is good" is probably overused, but it really is; parts are fantastical enough to feel like it's verging on a dream, and it's grounded in enough of a potential reality to make even the impossible things seem achievable. Featuring a very politically significant 18thC brothel, the ghost of Thomas Hobbes, the actual Achilles, Humanists, the world's #1 unreliable narrator, and a sex scene taken almost word-for-word from de Sade until the reader asks the narrator to stop.

Also Candide because I need to keep up my streak of convincing people to read Candide.

Book I couldn't put down: Do not underestimate my ability to put down literally anything. That said, the fourth and last Terra Ignota book (can you tell I'm trying very hard to sell it?). I can't say much about it because almost anything at that point is a massive spoiler, but books 1-3 are all gradually building up to a major event in book 4, and it's sort of the quiet kind of suspense where you know what's going to happen, but all you can do is wait and see the extent of the damage, and the main focus of the tension even during it is how you're going to rebuild, and any solution is so painfully flawed but it's something and the narrative drags you along throughout all of it by the sheer force of its hope.

Book I've read twice: Quite a few, but my favorites that I've read multiple times are Catcher in the Rye and L'Immoraliste. I read Catcher in the Rye the first time for class, and I don't want to go on another long rant, but I love Holden so much and I'm incredibly glad that I read the book when I did; I can see so much of myself in him and having sympathy for Holden taught me that maybe I need to have a bit more sympathy for myself as well. Also, sorry Mrs. [redacted] for stealing your copy of the book. It wasn't on purpose but it'd feel weird to return it now.

L'Immoraliste I originally picked up at the library to read the first time because based on the year published and the title I assumed like a 90% chance of it being gay, then I fell in love with the writing style and so I reread it in French. The part where Michel is going out to lay in the sun naked (<- absolutely terrible desc. of it but I can't think of smthn better right now) is up there in my top three book scenes ever.

A book on my TBR: Way too fucking many, reader, way too fucking many. On the top of the list right now is Goethe's Faust since I'm intrigued by @iron--and--blood's Faust AU for Morton's Hope, and also since I should maybe read some philosophy that isn't just French (does Goethe count as a philosopher? At least by the 18thC definition I think he could). And Goethe said V was good, so at least I know he has good taste.

Also I should maybe finally start reading all the Molière/Racine/Corneille stuff I've been stocking up on lol.

A book I've put down: Voltaire et Frédéric II by Roger Peyrefitte. It sucks shit and I've tried to read it at least five times now and every time I have to stop because it makes me want to personally murder the author by like 50 pages in and I am not exaggerating in the least.

A book on my wishlist: There's a couple 1780s editions of Villette's works for sale that I like to look at every so often... I'm sure I'll eventually cave in someday but for now I'll keep trying to convince myself I don't need it.

A favourite book from childhood: I had to google a bunch of stuff to find this since I couldn't remember the title, but it's first book from the Epic Order of the Seven Series by Jenny L. Cote, about a bunch of talking animals during various Bible stories/major events (yes it is very weird). This one is about Noah's Ark, and since the animals were from all around the world, parts of their dialogue were written in a bunch of different languages with a little dictionary at the back which I thought was the coolest thing ever (it kinda is tbh).

A book you would give to a friend: Depends on the friend and what I think they'd like, but the last book I gave to a friend was Discourses on Livy since we were talking about The Prince.

A book of poetry/lyrics you own: Childe Harold's Pilgrimage! Yet another book I haven't gotten around to reading yet.

A non-fiction book you own: Changes in the Land by William Cronon. It's about the ecological changes in New England from before the Europeans arrived roughly up to 1800 and how the environment shaped and was affected by the economies of the Native Americans and the settlers, and one of the points that really stuck with me was that one of the major differences between the two groups' relationships with the environment was that the Native Americans primarily viewed resources as being valuable in terms of the function they served, while the settlers saw natural resources as being valuable firstly because they could be sold, and he talks about how it was that mindset which we still had today that made a healthy relationship between the colonists' economy and the environment unsustainable. It's also written in a way that's super easy to follow, even if you know nothing about ecology (which I do not).

Currently reading: The first volume of V's correspondance from the Garnier edition. So far I've made it up to 1731, and I realised I'm still thinking of him then as young V even though he's 37. There's so many gems in the letters though (especially to Thieriot) and it keeps leading me down a bunch of rabbit holes.

Planning on reading next: Faust!

[angeledeggs]

How would Julian react to coming home to seeing his MC smoking weed. Would he join them after being confused? Also how would he and the M6 be like when stoned lol

Request filled! Once again, y'all, sorry for taking awhile! Life is busy and I'm doing my best :) <3

Julian🦠:

I mean, Julian probably wouldn't care.

I mean, he used to be a doctor, he knows that weed can have relaxing and calming affects.

He Probably gets a bit concerned if you end up paranoid, though, and will make you drink some water in an effort to help you.

Most likely won't ask for a hit, but might if he's stressed.

He's extremely bad at rolling his own blunts, they all end up falling apart.

If he gets high, though, he gets quiet and just stares at the ceiling cause he's day dreaming, like, *so* hard.

Asra💜:

He gets super giggley when he's high.

Like, you could crack the lamest joke, and They'll laugh for like five whole minutes about it.

When he's high he'll crave toaste so bad and while eating a whole load of bread cause he just eats toast after toast.

Will play some Arabic music quietly and just vibe out, but also gets sleepy so hell probably just lay on the floor like half awake while he listens to it.

Will hold Faust and start to cry cause they're getting sentimental.

Probably hates the smell of weed and will burn like, a million incense sticks, which just makes it worse in the end.

Muriel💙:

He can't handle weed, like, at all.

It gets him feeling sick and dizzy and last time he tried weed he almost vomited.

So...

Yeah, he doesn't do weed.

But he doesn't really care if anyone else does it because the smell dosent bother him.

He's surprisingly good at rolling blunts, though.

Nadia💎:

Doesn't really react to the weed.

She dosent quite care for it, either, so she doesn't really smoke it often.

She will sometimes though, since she finds that it helps reduce her headaches.

But like Asra, she also hates the smell of weed.

She'll literally open every window in the house and use like a hundred dehumidifies in an attempt to get rid of the smell.

If it has any affect on her which it usually doesn't, she'll probably just get a bit sleepy.

Portia🧡:

Weed makes her super hyper so she usually smokes it when she's tired or wants to do some chores without getting exhausted.

She sleeps like, ten hours once she's finally done though, doesn't matter whether or not it's night or day.

She's horrible at rolling blunts so she bought this blunt roller thing she uses to roll them.

Only smokes it every once in awhile, but will literally make "kosher blunts" jokes each time she does.

Dosent really care about the smell but gets annoyed if it lingers in her bed or blankets.

Lucio👑:

He literally can't even smoke a full blunt.

He'll take ONE hit and he'll already be super dizzy and high already.

He tries to act like he can take it, but he can barely smoke weed at all.

He's a sore loser though and super petty, so sometimes he'll just light a blunt and wave it around his room so that the room will smell like weed.

Cause of his luck, though, the smell never lingers.

[sxftkxssxs]

hello again! It’s that riders of Icarus guy- so sorry for bothering you with that! Most people don’t really know what the game is so I don’t blame you, but I think an easier way to request something with the arcana would just be an mc with two wyvern familiars plus the m6 reacting. Again you don’t have to do this one, I feel bad I asked that cause it was a waste of your time- I hope you’re having a wonderful day and get plenty of rest!

I hope this is what you wanted! If you do want something different just ask <3

MC who has Wyvern Familiars (M6)

Asra

Considering these things are smaller than regular dragons, you’d be able to manage a lot better

Faust and your familiars are so chaotic together, causing a mess anywhere they go

Asra loves to see Faust getting along with the wyverns

Wants to ride a wyvern at least once, if they’ll let him 

He treats them with so much respect and love

Asra treats them like how you treat Faust

He will definitely be just as playful as he is with her as well

Julian

His jaw is literally on the floor when you introduce him

He gets very nervous around them at first, definitely thinks that they might eat him if he acts wrong

Julian eventually learns they (probably) won’t eat him just for saying something stupid

He loves seeing them scare people, it's dramatic, and he lives for it

Dresses them up for fun if they allow it! Definitely makes life more interesting, seeing a wyvern with some bright red accessories on

Malak occasionally will perch on your familiars. Then remembers that they could very well eat him, and decides to perch somewhere else.

Nadia

She loves them!

They look extremely majestic and know exactly what they want 

She is always very considerate and polite when she talks to them. She also tends to talk directly to them instead of through you

If you’ll allow them to, Nadia would love to have them in the ballroom occasionally

She loves when arrogant nobles get a little scared of them (intimidation tactic)

If they’ll let her, she’d have some jewelry made for them whenever there’s more formal events

Chandra will admire them from a distance! She doesn’t really want to become their next meal

Muriel

He doesn’t say anything, but you tell he’s a little shocked

They’ll definitely have to make due with the woods you two live in

Muriel actually really likes them, he won’t talk to them much, but he might make them things or silently sit with them.

Definitely carves some wood based on them! It’ll sit together with some of his other carvings

Inanna doesn’t get scared of them normally, she’s one of the few familiars that likes hanging around with them.

Portia

She’s in complete awe

They’re so cool! How’d you meet them? Where do they usually stay?

She’s practically vibrating with questions

They’ll fit somewhere, there are lots of woods near her cottage for them to rest in

Pepi is a little scared (reasonably so), but if said wyverns don’t like to scare her all the time, she’ll warm up to them

she definitely thought about riding them, more than once too 

if she ever does get to ride them, she will never shut up about it

Lucio

Does not shut up about them

Brags about them and you to anyone he meets

tried to literally shower them with gold (which is funny, until a wyvern actually gets hit with said gold)

he’ll also want them in the castle, but doesn’t think too far ahead about it- he just wants them to spook people a bit

They do come in very handy whenever you’re on an adventure and need someone to keep watch

Every familiar in here is so sassy, it's unreal.

[malachiexists13]

My first impression of the Ikemen Villains guys:

[Disclaimer: I know nothing about these characters asides from the descriptions shared around Tumblr. I probably won't play the game any time soon considering that its being first released in Japanese, so unless it later on gets released in English, I won't play. Also this post is partially a joke, don't take me too seriously.]

William Rex

He gives off a more "evil, avoid at all costs, worldwide disaster" vibe than Gilbert ever did. My first thought upon seeing him was, "omg- Vlad???" But then I read his description and thought, "ohhh. So Vlad, but evil. Like if Vlad and Motonari had a baby..."

Harrison Gray

First thought, "yo, Edgar, what are you doing here??" Like bro does look like Edgar, even his description screams Edgar to me. I've seen others compare him with Nokto, but I havent paid much attention to Nokto so maybe thats why I cant see it? Idk. But yeah, I guess since Ikerev is over, Edgar had to find a new profession :/

Liam Evans

Omg, look. Loki grew up, he's a big kid now!

Idk how to really react to this one? Like, ok, he's got the chesire cat curse or whatever, he looks a bit like Loki, ..and he's supposed to be sexy? I mean, I see the vibe they were going for. But if they try to shove that "drop-dead gorgeous" or "sexy ladies man" shit down our throats like they did with Yoshimoto and Shingen in Ikesen (could also probably find other examples in the other games..) then I might end up hating him.

ALSO HIS POSE AND SORTA HIS OUTFIT REMINDS ME OF YVES-

Elbert Greetia

Omg its Chevalier but if he was actually angsty. Or maybe it's just Lancelot.

Ok- so its mostly like the hair that screams both Lancelot and Chevalier to me. Its Lancelot's style but Chev's color. And the eyes could easily be a mix of both-

But he also kinda reminds me of Satan from Obey Me, with the whole "obsessively collects beautiful things and leaves them untidy in his room." That's literally Satan but with books, but Satan also likes beautiful things.

Alfons Slyvatica

Omg is that Sebastian Michaelis?? (Im sorry- Ive never even seen Black Butler, I'll go home now-)

Idk. Ive seen others compare him to like, Jean but evil. I look at him and see Sebastian Michaelis. Or maybe like, Kicho because of the hair. But then the line "With his consistent dishonesty, he teases you, but-" makes me think of, strangely, Mitsuhide?

Roger Barel

I've seen other compare him to Jin. I look at him and see Loid Forger. Which funny enough, his VA, Eguchi Takuya, also voices Loid Forger-

Its mostly the hair style, and the face, and the glasses- like if he was blonde, with blue (is it blue-? Or does Loid have green-?) eyes then he'd look even more like Loid. I cant really think of any ikemen series characters he reminds me of, at least not appearance. But with the part in his description that says "An egoist who seems rational and will go to any lengths for his own research." makes me think of Faust for some reason..

Jude Jazza

He doesnt immediately remind me of anyone. Ive seen comparisons to Clavis and Silvio, which kinda makes sense? I guess I could see it. The uhh "A twisted man, he has a promise he wants to fulfill and a sullen heart." at first made me think of Mitsuhide. But then I remembered the definition of sullen and that doesnt fit Mitsu. But I guess the having many enemies and being seen as a cold-blooded person who loves the despair and misfortune of others DOES fit Mitsuhide, at least on the surface. Idk. Im bad at analysis like this.

But also like- I share a birthday with this man. Like the exact same date, Dec. 13. So im gonna end up HATING him.

Ellis Twilight

His appearance doesnt really remind me of anyone right away. But his description of being somewhat disturbing yet kind and gentle to everyone, being strangely obsessed with other people's "Happiest Moments in Life" and the having a "love" that he wants to prove makes me think of Charles.

But like, the opposite. Because Charles wants someone to love him, while it seems like Ellis wants to prove his love to someone? So... Charles but emo.

Victor

So.. A lot of people speculate he's the one who put the curses on the others, because his own curse is scratched out. Like we cant read it. Some have compared him to Sariel, because he's like the guide in the game. But also uhh- sorta reminds me of Amon. Maybe its the long hair (probably is).

Ratbro - 🖊️, 🩹, 💤, , 💯, 🔺, 🐷, 💔, 💜, 🥪, 🤔, 🧐,

🫡

🖊️ — does your oc have any tattoos? do they want any (more) tattoos?

He doesnt have any but he wants one that says FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT FUCKING RESUSCITATE

🩹 — does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?

for a guy who got revived from being esploded and then locked in a warehouse for 30 years hes doing pretty ok but he's quite ptsd'd and brain damaged and chronic pain'd. him and his bestie can bond over shared morphine ^w^

💤 — is your oc a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? how are their sleeping habits?

its really a mixed bag LOL generally he sleeps lightly and disturbedly. a little more scheduled at the fresk facility (not his choice) but a little less horribly overall once hes with faust.

💯 — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.

Details irt his dying and undying: he was like esploded and shot because he happened to join the military just before the once-every-20-years-severe-civil-unrest. and he died but the soon-to-be-defunct Citizens Longevity Project stitched his sorry ass back up and life supported him and tried to see wtf else would work Experimentally. it was Painful and Traumatizing for him. The project got defunded like a year or two after they realived him but long story short the founder coordinated things to where he and the others would pretty much have to just relocate but still stay in Custody. It was already pretty horrific but the quality of care obviously went steeply downhill LOL the only good part was that they didnt really bring in anyone new to get experimented upon.

2. Unlike harvey he actually graduated highschool before joining the military, but honestly it probably woulda been better for him to go earlier since he kinda sucked at school LOL. part two: i regret to inform that altho he was mainly a soldier/body to get shot at, his position during peacetime was pretty much just a junior cop.

3. He's pretty unimpressed by Faust's fancy coffee-making skills and doesnt really like coffee in the first place, but anything that isnt Facility Slop is a treat to him so he drinks it anyway.

🔺 — does your oc know how to use any weapons?

He still remembers how to shoot *smiles* thats pretty much all tho, he'd have been a decent fighter in his youth despite his tall scrawnyness but those days are long gone. he sure can try tho.

🐷 — what is your oc's favorite animal?

I don't think he's ever really had pets or anything, but he'd likely enjoy a dog. i say this insultingly.

💔 — what are three of your oc's negative traits?

Im gonna like.....not bring his Circumstances into it so i'll just focus on his base personality LOL. he's a Sheeple for lack of better words 😔 severely. Kinda in the same vein, he's quite approval-seeking. And i think he also suffers from harvey's disease in that he acts very passive and clueless while participating in (usually indirect) violence. altho i suppose he paid for that last one pretty quickly seeing how his bout in the military ended LOL.

💜 — what is your oc's ancestry/genetic background?

Apart from several generations of region zeroites, i think his and harvey's ancestors are majorly like. german/british medwestern americans.

🥪 — what does your oc's typical lunch look like? do they usually eat lunch?

Faust gives him his unwanted scraps like he's a dog. He gets his own lunch when theyre living together too tho, ofc. hes a VIP. He has whatever Faust is having and its a LUXURY compared to the like. cheese sandwiches and slop he's been served at the freak facility.

🤔 — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?

He's often very confused or volatile Because he is confused because he was like literally reborn today and he can't catch a break. He has a staring problem.

🧐 — is your oc more logical or emotional?

He's guided by his desire to Keep The Peace, and he usually sees that as doing what he's told. I think its an emotional response. It's hard for him to follow much logic even if he wanted to nowadays, he's only able to operate in the Non-Warehouse World off of what the extremely biased other in his life have told him since he's been out.

[hey-its-cweepy]

Yo Haven’t done one of These in a long time so

What would you Characters think of Hiroyuki and Joren

TWO CHARACTERS-

Oh man- extra long post today huh-

I'll separate them by colors!

Hiroyuki Jira

•Cweepy might be a bit nervous at first, but otherwise not that bad! Might be a teeny tiny bit grossed out by the mucus since its not her own from her squid form

•Cho-Hee doesn't mind the mucus at all and wouldnt really think much of it, but questions the spider grudge

•Dallas is a NO because he thinks he's gross😔✌️

•You will catch Salvatore and Vincenzo doing the confused head tilt thing seeing their shoes-

•Out of coincidence, you're the same height as Momo! Meaning that, even tho she's still a bit nervous, she'll likely stick around! Also I just imagine-

Hiroyuki: Im so sorry about that, I can clean it o-

Momo, using the petals of her flower tongue to scrape it off:

•Dell is very curious about him! Especially about how he became an Ogama and what its like-

•Faust is choosing death by accidently zapping him if he comes too close (more likely to happen if he's wet

•HEXTIAN IS A BIG NO NO, he's not bad! He just cant touch water ever

•Benibara is a no because she's literally the worst

•Kenzo is a no because he's the type that asks too many questions, man doesnt even know what a toad is

•VENUS IS A FROG BUT I CAN TOTALLY SEE THEM BEING FRIENDS

•Marinus is a GIANT no because he doesnt stop at just eating people💀 (he does try very hard to not reach that point tho! Also he'd probably think Mari tastes salty)

•Kumo: "Ew no"

•Aotome's more confused if anything, definitely performing various scans and perplexed if he uses slang- you just see the loading icons in her eyes if they goe "Baee<3"

•Banji probably thinks some of the bug items are a bit strange but not as bad as eating literal inedible items (cue Hextian eating glue-)

•Kamïk thinks its interesting that he doesnt remember his past life

•Clover's the type that goes "Eeeewwww!!!" At the mucus but isnt too mad about it

•Avery thinks its disgusting-

•Jolie is the type to collect the mucus on her clothes and make it someone else's problem

•Everyday Roan think's he's freaking dreaming and a human talking demon toad doesnt help (probably mistakenly calls him a frog sometimes)

•Pepper is a NO

•Wolfo's perplexed by the mucus issue if anything-

•Creek will be VERY mad if it gets on any dolls but otherwise pretty chill and even slightly teases him a bit

•Poppet does exaggerated gagging if you put the bug food items near him, he's just messing around though!

•Seine says your bug crimes are unforgivable

•I imagine if he did use his UM on Toma, he'd turn into a little toad plush

•Vysio's a bit nervous, but that's okay! She'll get used to them, especially if they meet Yuto first!

•He is going to learn real soon that sometimes Yuto needs to shut up💀

•Astoria probably doesnt even know what a toad is either let alone the difference between a toad and a frog

•Elbarnes is just gonna consistently clean him anytime they meet- mucus on his clothes? Cleaning this instant!... Sure, he does this with his mouth/spit, but at least it's more like cleaning product than human spit-

•Chepi probably facing the consequences of "Dont give him spicy food"😔✌️

•Amos is a NO, he's not one of those people that like toads/frogs/slimy animals in general and also probably thinks he's gross

•Enid is not as mean, but considers the mucus a bit strange

•Lorien questions how his skin makes the mucus in the first place, but otherwise is more baffled at some of the bug dishes-

•Jessica is a NO, probably pokes at the fact that his clothes are customized when it comes to his legs

•Oceana cannot tell the difference between a toad or a frog either, but it doesnt matter because she thinks they're both adorable! Although she'd be a bit concerned about the bug eating habits

•Indira would be interested to try the bug dishes herself, but a bit nervous to-

•Torimiya thinks hating things spitefully is kinda stupid, just enjoy yourself✨

•Asahise probably introduces them to Oceana! But just leave the sweaters and plushies away from the mucus or there's gonna be a problem

•Tokki's a bit lost on certain things, but otherwise doesnt really mind them

•Kuru would say he's gross but doesnt actually mean it

•If he doesnt remember, Yaku will find a way to find out- Will he be okay wih what he finds? Undecided-

•Jaiden would mistake the bug catching thing as something cute until someone explains "Literally do not tell him where Theodore is"

•Mindel is a little caught off guard by the slang terms but I can see Mindel just vibing with him while drinking his boiling hot coffee

•Frey questions if the mucus is toxic or not the first time, but would be very hesitant to try the bug dishes so they'll stick to gifting cream donuts

•Sylvester and Kendall are also a bit lost on the spider grudge but whatever, that's your deal✨

•Mao and Midge are going to punch them if they catch them eating bugs

•Cherokee thinks he's a bit strange in general as if he himself isnt a big dork lmao

•If he can turn into a small toad, I can see Shiloh gently holding him in his hands and being more open to talking but talking to a giant toad is also ok!

•Charlene is fairly certain she's probably seen em somewhere but doesn't know from where, if she has context though, she's probably the type to purposefully tell the wrong directions

•Deedee: "Fine! I don't like you either! You slimy, bumpy, hideous thing! Hmph!" Girlie didnt even start anything yet and they dont like her💀

•Janus and "Dolly" are a NO

•Birsha questions if she squeezes him, will mucus come pouring out?

•Lucinda probably thinks he's a tiny bit gross and apologizes

•Panko would cry if you ate specific bugs in front of her (and is DEFINITELY not ratting out Theodore, with or without context)

•Pattie is very confused by the slang terms and eating bugs habit, but otherwise doesnt mind him

•Canela is staying away because she doesnt wanna poison anybody

-----------------------------------------

Joren Tsuchigumo

•Oh boy with this context to the story, every single positive interaction you built with Cweepy is falling apart in seconds-

•Cho-Hee expresses his condolences for the loss of his family

•Dallas is TERRIFIED of bugs and spiders are no exception

•Salvatore and Vincenzo are probably going to jump Hiroyuki after this so maybe its best to not tell them-

•Congratulations! Momo is once again terrified of everyone-

•Dell also expresses condolences for the loss but it also makes them question a few things, overall, still very curious and interested about them!

•Faust might accidently zap him at some point if he doesnt tease him first💀

•Hextian is a BIG no-no! Maybe dont casually sit down and talk to the guy that is literally poisonous to almost everyone

•I think its clear Benibara, Janus, "Dolly", Canela and Pepper are a NO (The first 3 are pricks, Canela's just trying to keep students safe and Pepper's paranoid)

•Kenzo shrieks seeing he's a spider before chilling out

•Venus,,, is,,, a frog,,,,,, does that cound as part of his grudge? If so, Venus would be confused by it before being given context and completely understands

•MARINUS IS A NO-

•Kumo, Lucinda and Tokki are only a no bcs spiders make them a bit nervous

•Aotome is still interested in his anatomy but also very confused of their strange arguing (both of them)

•Banji isnt sharing no damn sweets with him but might poke fun at the extra weight

•Kamïk questions why he doesnt just kill Hiroyuki, I mean c'mon, there'd be no more arguing if he's dead, right?

•Clover SHRIEKS because spider

•Avery questions why not change schools

•Jolie questions how the hell Hiroyuki even got away with it💀

•Roan hates it here-

•Wolfo ABSOLUTELY will not stand for family murder, he may have shitty parents but he could never stand someone doing something to his siblings and to hear what he did to Joren? Man is seeing red.

•Creek will at least try to stop Wolfo with Poppet's support like "A-At least wait until after school hours!"

•Poppet would be mad too, but focuses on trying to not let his brother wreck the whole school looking for him💀

•Seine and Joren could probably be spider buddies!

•Why do I have the feeling he just sees Toma get hurt but Hiro feels it instead and gets an idea-

•Vysio is a bit nervous, especially by the serious attitude

•Yuto probably explains that Vysio's just nervous due to her giant size and probably risking hurting someone, but assures him its not his fault!

•Astoria is a no because crown (DONT PUT IT ON)

•Elbarnes needs him to pass the clean check anytime they meet- even if its just for a minute-

•Chepi is concerned the giant toad situation might happen again but isnt limited to a spider clan, she expresses her condolences for the loss though

•Amos would probably also think he's nasty at first

•Enid instinctively picks up a shoe before dropping it, apologizing and explaining she just got used to doing it-

•Lorien is OUT because he's afraid but would rather spend a day with Joren than Amos (absolutely terrified of cats)

•Jessica is OUT because she body shames

•Oceana and Asahise would cry if he explained hy he hates Hiroyuki

•Does Indira even count in the frog grudge? She isnt one but her tongue is similar-

•When Torimiya grasps the situation, she's very upset and concerned, also expresses her condolences

•Kuru thinks him being a spider is neat and "Much better than that slimy old toad... But dont think just cause I like you a little bit means I care!"

•Ah yes, Yaku found out the truth this way huh... He's both interested and upset in the story-

•Jaiden is very upset and expresses condolences for his losses, might even try to offer some comfort maybe even sweets

•Mindel asks if he specifically means Hiroyuki Jira because he almost couldnt believe it! Also expresses concern and condolences and limits contact with him

•Frey is absolutely horrified at the news and is very concerned and upset, well at least its new news to them since they had no context but shh

•Sylvester and Kendall at least finally understand the grudges now... But Syk suggests death to fix it and Kendall suggests just avoiding each other

•Mao and Midge are still throwing hands, but this time Mao's also throwing them at Hiroyuki and Midge just really likes bugs (NOT in a way to eat them)

•Cherokee's finally stringing the story together and asks how you get turned into an Ogama in the first place-

•Shiloh probably vented to him if he can shift into a spider and AGAIN thought fir it for the rest of his life

•Charlene is devastated and very sympathetic about the confession, she knows what its like to lose someone but to lose almost an entire family in a day just makes her heartbroken...

•Deedee: "... Out of all the people that fight me, you're the only one who's not that bad"

•Birsha questioning his butt/abdomen

•You'd think Panko is crying bcs he's a spider but you're WRONG, she feels like she's doing something terrible by spending time with Hiroyuki but tbh doesnt wanna upset either of em, very apologetic and upset

•Pattie tries to stay out of their discussions/arguments and whatever they're doing

CHERRIES WITH WHIPPED CREAM

bård “ faust ” eithun x reader | duke satanaël x reader | pelle “ dead ” ohlin x reader

♡ general headcanons for faust, duke and pelle dating someone with big boobs!

୨୧ this is very self indulgent, love my boobs! but i also hate them! sometimes they look so good and sometimes they don’t… i’m about to go to sleep so sorry for any major spelling errors <3

♡ related hc available here and here | view my metal masterlist here

reading music recommendations: necromancer by mortuary drape - xxo by mia

BÅRD “ FAUST ” EITHUN

♡ when you guys first met, you asked him to sign your boobs and this boy nearly dropped dead on the spot…

୨୧ he’d never been asked to do anything even close to that, emperor wasn’t even that huge yet! his eyes literally just widened and his mouth dropped open before ihsahn came up behind him and smacked him on the back, laughing and telling him to do it

“ go on, faust! do as the pretty lady says, y’got a marker on you? ” ( you nod as faust is still awestruck, he thinks you’re insanely pretty and you have a great rack and you like his band? oh boy )

♡ he does, taking the marker with shaky hands and writing his signature on the flesh of your upper boob peaking out of your low cut top as you laugh at how nervous he is, thanking him with a kiss on the cheek when he hands the marker back to you

୨୧ yeah i mean, he was just kind of obsessed with you after that…

♡ he quietly asks if he could take your number and maybe go on a date together, all whilst keeping his eyes on the ground, knowing if he was to look up his eyes would be drawn to your boobs and he didn’t wanna be seen as desperate or nasty

୨୧ you agreed and voila, faust now has a girlfriend! a girlfriend with big boobs no less, safe to say some of his friends are very jealous

♡ when you guys have been dating for a while, he starts wondering if you’d had anyone else sign your boobs before him, he really hopes not :( when he asks you, he tries to hide how relived he is when you say he’s the only guy you’ve ever asked to do it! you just always thought he was a cutie pie, cuter than most other men in the black metal scene to you

୨୧ faust absolutely loves the smell of the coco butter you use on your boobs, literally every time you walk past him and he gets a whiff of it he’s damn near drooling

♡ y’know how i mentioned he takes you on shopping sprees as a date whenever he’s not broke? yeah it’s mainly to lingerie / clothing stores…

୨୧ it’s pretty hard to find bras in my size NOW so i can’t even begin to imagine how hard it would’ve been in the early 90’s, oh my god!

♡ when you guys first started dating, he’d surprised you with a super cute lingerie set that he’d seen and made the incredibly embarrassing purchase on his own with one of his shitty pay checks from helvete

୨୧ but this sweet baby didn’t really understand the cup sizes and got a much too small cup-size that constricted your chest like a damn cobra

♡ either way you thanked him with lots of kisses ( and other things ) but made sure to tell him your cup size and sadly explain to him that most stores don’t actually sell your cup-size…

୨୧ this boy is PISSED! he’s so tempted to get his friends together and set all of the stores that don’t sell your cup size ablaze! why can’t his girl have super pretty lingerie sets? why have you only ever found like, two in your cup size? he thinks you deserve the best and hates that often times, you can’t have the best

♡ faust is forever glad he signed your boobs that night, he can’t imagine what his life would be like if he got crazy nervous and said no…

DUKE SATANAËL

♡ duke absolutely loves when you wear shirts that really show off your chest! he loves seeing your boobs on display

୨୧ he’s a simple man, he’s obsessed with watching the slight bounce as you walk, admiring how your boobs press out of the fabric

♡ sometimes you have to snap your fingers in front of his face to make him watch where the hell he’s walking, the amount of times he’s walked right into a lamppost because he was distracted by your boobs is unfathomable

୨୧ what he doesn’t like so much is when he sees other people gawking, nu-uh! they’re his boobs to admire, no one else’s… so he’ll often wrap an arm around you and stare the person out until they get freaked out and leave <3

♡ duke is an absolute GOD at giving back massages! if you even slightly mention your back is aching, he’ll be making you to lay down before going to grab some moisturiser from the bedroom

୨୧ even when you’re in public, if he sees you standing weird with your hands on your back and a scowl on your face, he’ll gesture for you to sit on his lap and subtly give you a massage through your clothes

♡ he absolutely loves motor-boating you too, i’m so sorry…

୨୧ there are so many pictures of you two where his corpsepaint is just a state and a suspicious grey-ish mess of paint is covering your upper chest! it doesn’t take a genius to piece together what happened

♡ one time when you guys were making out and it was clearly leading into something more, he used a knife to cut your bra off and you nearly killed him

୨୧ you were so dumbfounded and pissed off, asking him what the fuck he just did that for…

♡ poor man was SO confused! why didn’t you like that? it was hot, no?

୨୧ well, it was hot, but also no it wasn’t because what the fuck, duke? that’s literally your nicest bra, the cutest one you’ve ever found that actually had your cup-size…

♡ you give him the petty silent treatment as he apologises <3 only looking up at him and responding when he says he’ll make sure to buy you the prettiest replacement

“ baby, please… i’ve said sorry already! i’ll buy you the prettiest bra you find, just tell me when and i’ll buy it for you ” ( he has the smallest pout on his face whilst he begs for forgiveness, causing you to giggle at the sight of this man in corpse paint pouting just because his girlfriend won’t speak to him )

୨୧ when you finally do find a pretty replacement, his eyes nearly bulge out of his head when you show him the price tag!

♡ but he does buy it for you, all whilst grumbling under his breath about how you shouldn’t even wear a bra and he thinks you look fine without one, safe to say you set him back quite a bit that month…

PELLE “ DEAD ” OHLIN

♡ pelle really likes laying his head on them <3

୨୧ you’ll lay flat on your back in your shared bed, reading a book whilst his head rests on your chest, gliding your fingers through his hair as he watches some snuff film or shockumentary he has on vhs

♡ honestly, the rare times he ever does get some sleep is when his head is resting on your chest! it’s just extremely comfy for him and the soft thumping feeling of your heart beating lulls him to sleep

୨୧ he has absolutely drooled a little on your boobs whilst sleeping before and always gets kind of embarrassed and awkward when he wakes up so most of the time you try to wipe it before he wakes up, just to spare him the embarrassment <3

♡ pelle really likes to draw you nude, usually not even in a sexual manner!

୨୧ he just thinks your boobs are extremely picture esque and likes to illustrate how beautiful he thinks they are

♡ another thing he does that isn’t always in a sexual manner is sucking hickeys onto your boobs

୨୧ most of the time it’s sexual but sometimes he just does it casually whilst laying on your chest, he’ll move his head away from watching the tv and just kind of start sucking bruises into the visible flesh of your boobs

♡ sometimes it scares the shit out of you because of how suddenly he starts doing it which causes him to mumble “ ‘m sorry ” into your skin

୨୧ you’re never mad though, you just stroke his hair and let him do his thing… he really likes silently admiring the bruises left behind <3

♡ he blushes so so so hard when he sees you wearing the small animal bones he gave you attached to a necklace, the bones resting just on top of your boobs, he gets totally transfixed on the sight and usually only knocks out of it when you laugh and softly ask if he’s okay… he’ll mumble a response and dart his eyes away from your chest, he doesn’t like being caught out…

[showtoonzfan]

I’m sorry but how many times is Viv going to say “Insert character is one of the most powerful beings in hell”- like….I really hope she has a good idea of what exactly the ranking is like and who can do what and who is more powerful to who because rn its kinda confusing. The Overlords are a type of….demon group I guess that I’ve been curious about for a long time now, mainly because they’re confusing and I have no idea how this works. I really hope the show explores how a sinner can turn extremely powerful to become an overlord, especially regarding Alastor since he just magically became a god overnight when he first arrived. Viv has said in the past that demons can get really powerful by quote “making deals”, but I dunno, right now it’s just jumbled. For example, if Lucifer isn’t even ruling anymore or is just tending to himself, how exactly is he letting these overlords rule over Hell? Like…it’s strange how characters like Vox, Val, Carmilla ect are said to rule over their specific genre regarding all of hell, but then they also say that sinners can’t even go outside the Pride ring because it’s part of their punishment, so why have Vox rule all of television? Why have Val rule the entire porn industry? And it’s also confusing when you add the seven deadly sins into the mix. If the sins are ruling over each ring of Hell, then how exactly do the overlords come into play?

Vivziepop keeps treating the overlords as if they're their OWN hierarchy, showcasing how regular sinners are afraid of these people but.…I just don't get it. I mean if Carmilla, Vox, and Alastor are the main really powerful ones, where exactly does Lucifer come in with all of this? I get that he's "at the very top” apparently, but it doesn't make sense how you also have these OTHER demons. SINNERS no less, who became all powerful and are in charge at the SAME time. I mean what does Lucifer think of this? It's even stranger because in the pilot you can SEE him hanging out with Carmilla, Zestial, and Zilla as if they're EQUALS. I mean, Viv never confirmed that the three were sinners or not, but to me it's implied. If they are, WHY is he hanging out with characters LOWER than him? Faust literally said that Lucifer wants to keep hell at a certain ranking and has never shown concern or compassion for his people…..SO.....| dunno I'm not wasting my breath anymore Imao. Actually in fact, if the seven deadly sins are supposed to be RIGHT under Lucifer, then shouldn't he be hanging out with THEM instead? And where does the other royal family come into play? Ya know, the Von Eldritches? Cause I didn't forget them, like all Viv said was that they were "another royal family". I really hope they're MORE than that and special enough ya know since…Lucifer seems to like them. What I mean is I hope Viv has a REASON to why they're a royal family, they're not sinners and instead part of the hell mythology or something, other than random characters she pulled out of her ass. Okay I’m nitpicking and going off track, I’m mainly just so confused on this whole “overlord” thing and how they rule over all of hell apparently. We’ll have to wait and see of course but I really hope Viv has a clear view of how this stuff works since her patron livestreams lore wise are just a disaster.

[such-a-bitchh]

Here's another request from velvetxx1, sorry it took me so much time sweetie 😭 But I still hope you'll enjoy!

M6 + Valerius reacting to MC being a demon

Story for like all of those-

-Nadia, Lucio + Valerius: someone tried to assasinate them

-Asra, Julian, Portia: fight with Vulgora (I'm so sorry darling)

-Muriel: demons atacking the forest

You and Asra were having always the sweetest relationship, you were always helping them, being all adorable and shit

But now? You were standing in front of him, in your demon form

Vulgora laying in your feet

You propably looked like a kicked pupp

So guilty

You thought they're going to yell at you now

Run away, like everyone did

You didn't want to cry, but you were so close to it

Then Asra came up to you... and without words he just

Hugged you

Kissed you, and just were there

They weren't going anywhere and they told you this

"I'm not going"

Those 3 words were enough

But yet, no one ever said them to you

Even Faust came out of Asra's sleeve and squeezed you

At that moment you were sure, this is where you belong, in their arms, no one's else

You'll cherish him no matter what

We'll Faust too

She didn't run away either, did she?

You saved her, so why does it hurt?

The looks on faces everyone around you

The whispers

It was too much, you turned back to yourself

They'll take out the torches won't they?

They tell you to go away, or worse

You looked at Nadia, she was... crying

She was what?

You don't see her cry often then why?

You hurt her didn't you?

You're disgusted, you knew that, you wanted to run

But she was faster to do something

She run up to you, you wanted to hide

But she kissed you

She KISSED you

Everyone went quiet when she turned away from you

"Anyone who will insult the love of my life will regret it later on."

"They're my savior, not an enemy. And anyone who will treat them like one, will be an enemy themselves."

Two short sentences not only shut everyone up, but also melted your heart

She didn't hate you

When she turned to you, you've spotted something in her eyes

The same things you've seen when you two met

And you knew then, she was the one

When you turned back to Julian, Vulgora somewhere in the bacground, beetles spilling from their chest

You were expecting to see his face red from anger

But well, it was red, but... from something else

He was blushing covering his lover parts with his cape

You couldn't believe him

Well, he is indeed a one odd pea in the pot, but THAT MUCH?????

You've just beaten the shit oit of Vulgora and he's turned out

At this point you stopped counting his kinks

He would come up to you and hug you but, uh, well

"Darling! You look marvelous!"

"Julian, please"

That boy wreck, came up to you and kissed you

Finally

You started saying that you were scared he's going to run away and yell at you

Be angry

You were expecting anything

Just... not THAT

He was very awkward

But well, he loved you the way you are, and that's what counts

He then asked you whether you could turn to a demon in bed sometimes

You left

The forest was okay, Muriel was too, Inanna, animals

It was all okay now

Because of you

But you felt guilty

Demons laying all around, and one of them in your hands

Unconcious, but not dead

You're not a killer, not anyomre

Muriel was, well... suprised

But also happy?

He was glad that he wouldn't need to worry about you so much

You weren't looking so fraigle anymore

So even if he's not doing cuddles

He made and exception

He weren't scared anyomre he'll break you

And Inanna was so excited

He was jumping all around you, barking

You needed to ask-

"You're not scared?"

"You're not scary"

She was BOUNCIN'

So excited

After seeing Vulgora unconcious she literally came up to them and kicked them in the butt

You laughed, you wasn't supposed to

You needed to feel guilty, be sad, angry

But Portia... made it so hard

She run to you and jumped up to hang herfself on your shoulders

You did size up in your demon form

Pepi came up to you and just started peeping jumping around you

She knew that it's you

She felt it

Portia did too

That's why she wasn't scared

"You look hot in your demon form you know?"

Of course

That's your Portia

Ever since then she sometimes asks you to size up to pass her thing from higher shelves

You're more than glad to do it

He was AMAZED

Everyone around you except for him was not as much

When he noticed you turning you head all around and being so insecure

He was FURIOUS

"All of you! Clap or I'll cut all of your heads. One bad word, and it'll be your last one!"

Everyone started clapping

It was visibly forced, but... nice

Coming uo to you he hugged you with all his might

You were suprised that he's not running away

You thought you looked bad but well

For him you're hot

It's normal for him at this point

But he knows how to comfort you

In his... specific way

+ Valerius

He was indeed suprised

The way he almost spilled his wine said it all

His face kinda looked like disgust at the beggining

But when a guard pointed a spear at you

You turned back to your human form

Valerius was so angry

You clearly didn't expect him to come between youa nd the guard

But he did it

"Try to touch them and I won't hesitate to do something, I wouldn't do If it wasn't for them"

You literally don't know what he ment

But it was... cute

He then turned to you

He didn'thug you, but he gave you HIS wine

You know he don't like to show affection around others

So you were happy

You drank all the wine in one hug gulp

"Oh stop with that idiotic grin, I don't like it"

He loves it

The Arcana Asra Domestic Headcanons!

Warnings: none

I really wanted to write some Arcana related. This is my first time writing for them though. Hope you enjoy, and sorry for any mistakes.💕

Julian’s Version | Muriel’s Version

How do they sleep? Do they snore? Steal blankets? Ect.

It doesn’t matter if he’s sleeping with you or sleeping alone, you better believe he’s sleeping in a nest made from a myriad of different pillows and blankets.

When they sleep alone, they alternate between the starfish position and the foetal position. Asra is often found hugging a pillow.

When he sleeps with you however, he’ll prefer to be cuddling with you, as close as humanly possible.

Always leaves room for Faust to cuddle/sleep.

They do do little snores occasionally. It’s so cute. They also talk in their sleep at times.

Do they prefer baths or showers?

Baths.

They don’t really like the water too much but when it comes down to it, they prefer bathing. They like the peace and tranquillity that comes from just relaxing and soaking in the hot water, letting their mind run wild and free through daydreams.

Are the clean or messy?

They’re soooo messy. Asra will literally leave his clothes all over the floor (and in books, apparently) with not a care in the world. They’ll also leave magical remnants all over the place. Not to mention how messy he gets with all those knickknacks. The shop floor of the apartment is somewhat organised and clean so the customers don’t hurt themselves. But the top floor? No matter how hard y’all try to clean and tidy up, it always looks like a bomb has gone off in there.

How frequently do they wash their hair? How long does it take?

Surprisingly he doesn’t need to wash his hair that frequently. Though when they do, it doesn’t take that long. Asra will often just try and use his magic to clean it. When they do bother to wash it by hand, they use the best most delicious smelling shampoo/conditioner. Gotta keep it fluffy.

What is their love language?

Acts of service and physical touch.

Asra is big on touch, especially when it comes to you.

With you, he is often found holding your hand while in public or with a arm on your shoulder or around your waist. In private, he’ll be cuddling up to you as much as he can as well as giving you lots of kisses. From small pecks on the cheek, to full on making out with you.

With close friends, they’re not afraid to show affection. One of the ways they do this, is by lying in the persons lap.

Favourite wind-down activity?

Asra has many. There is usually not a time where he isn’t “winding down”.

When he’s on his own, he’ll find some comfy place to lay down and daydream. Preferably outside in the sun or somewhere with LOTS of pillows.

With you, he likes to wind down by cuddling together in a darkly lit room with incense burning as you run your fingers through their hair as they recount some of their most craziest adventures. (Even better if it’s raining)

Faust loves to join in with the wind-down activities

Who cooks and who cleans?

They’re often the one who cooks unless you want to do it together. And by to it together I mean, Asra will help with the cooking but will somehow talk his way out of cleaning.

And when you do get them to clean they’re very dramatic about it. So dramatic they’d give Julian a run for his money.

The times where neither of you want to cook however, you go to the bakery for pumpkin bread!

Main reason for arguments?

Arguments between the two of you are rare but not unheard of. The main reason for arguments actually comes down to one of two things.

1. Asra being overprotective and underestimating you. They’re known to be overbearing with a lot of things. Like not thinking you’re capable enough to do a certain spell, or freaking out if your 5 minutes late. It’s often just a few small things that end up accumulating into one big thing. Unfortunately there is a lot of trauma there that hasn’t been properly dealt with, especially in regards to you. They lost you one, they’re scared it’s gonna happen again.

2. Too much time together. As much as you both love each other, and as close as you are, there is such a thing as spending too much time with someone. If you don’t take proper healthy breaks from each other every now and again, you’ll get to a point where you end up stepping on each other’s toes and getting generally irritated by one another.

- tries his very very best to stay calm

- you can see panic bubbling under the surface

- faust is on high alert

- slithers around your shoulders and squeezes you for a hug

- "friend! hurt!"

- doesn't immediately ask what happened, just gets you to a comfortable place to be cleaned up

- then, and only then, will he brave to ask what happened to you

- or who did this to you

- wipes the blood from your skin with very gentle swipes

- winces when you wince, and apologizes profoundly

- "Y/n, how did this happen? i thought you were just taking a quick trip to the market."

- "i fell in the market, tripped over a stone"

- "and nobody helped you?"

- in this case he's disappointed with the bystanders, but does not become angry

- in a situation where someone hurt you?

- oh god

- "Y/n, how did this happen? i thought you were just taking a quick trip to the market."

- "yeah, well, somebody had their eye on the same apple i picked up. somehow, though, they managed to push me to the ground and steal it from my hands."

- i don't even think he would know what to say

- and asra is not really the type to march out into the streets of vesuvia and seek to challenge the one who hurt you

- but he would certainly hold a grudge against whoever it was if he did find out

- and would feel absolutely awful about letting you get hurt

- his mind would race about the possibility of losing you again

- because he simply can't handle it

- and what if that person had been particularly violent or malicious? what if you had been taken??

- you'd have to comfort the hell out of him to make sure he knows that you're okay

- "asra, hey, i'm fine! i can handle myself, you know that"

- "you're right, and i know you're right. it's just hard"

- "it's still hard for me, too. the market still makes me a little nervous and i got caught a little off guard, is all"

- that would make him feel better

- would finish patching up your wounds and would make sure to bring you to julian the next day if they were too bad for him to fix or needed stitches

- would also create a special brew to help with the pain and ease you to sleep

- "why don't i go down to the market tomorrow?"

- "why? so when you pick a fight over apples, i can pay you back for all of this high quality medical treatment?"

- "well of course, surely you didn't expect all this tender love and care to be free" *wink*

- panicked doctor mode enabled

- immediately begins checking you over, asking questions

- something tells me it would be a head injury of some sort

- "oh darling, what happe- you're bleeding!"

- "julian, i'm okay! it's just a little scratch"

- "no no no you might need stitches, come sit down. i'll go get my kit!"

- there's really no use in arguing

- he has cold ass hands, so he tries to warm them up before he begins suturing the wound

- tries to be gentle, and his expert hands move quickly without any snagging

- "so, how did this happen?"

- his voice is literally trembling

- "well, i was in the clinic grabbing the list of ingredients we need for our next grocery trip and there was a puddle of... something on the floor. i slipped and hit my head on the corner of your desk"

- immediately thinks it's his fault

- like "oh shit i should have cleaned better that could have killed y/n and then what would i have done-"

- doesn't necessarily voice this, but you can tell by the silence that follows that he's feeling really guilty

- would kneel for you, head on your knees

- "y/n, i am so sorry"

- "juli, it's really okay, i should have watched where i was going"

- "i'll make sure to clean better from now on, okay?"

- would guard you throughout the night in case of concussion

- nurse juli <3

- but let's say someone had put their hands on you

- would patch you up the same way, and apologize profusely for not being there with you

- tuck you into bed and fetch mazelinka to keep an eye on you throughout the night incase of a concussion

- would most definitely be self destructive and seek that mf out

- maybe not successfully, but would try his hardest

- "i'll be back in the morning, get some rest"

- "I can find them myself if I want to, you know"

- embarrassed blush

- because he KNOWS you can take care of yourself

- "of course, but right now you're hurt. as your partner, i will do what must be done on your behalf darling"

- probably shows up the following morning with battle scars of his own

- the guards found you in the garden, passed out in the maze

- blood trickled down your arm, a large gash marking your bicep

- ran you up to the palace and immediately to the medical wing

- them]n nadia gets word

- the calm, collected queen act disappears

- abandons anything she's doing, anybody she's talking to

- "we will finish this at a different time, i have more important matters to attend to"

- she is so worried and it's honestly adorable

- very much giving "where tf are they?" energy

- god i love her so much

- anyways um

- asks the nurses over and over what happened, if you're okay, etc.

- watches the physicians and nurses like a hawk as they clean the wound and suture the cut

- and they're so intimidated lmao they never come face to face with her literally ever

- brushes your hair back from your face as they do so

- holds your hands

- would demand that you be brought to her sleeping chamber

- so that's where you wake up! how cute

- she's laying beside you, her brows furrowed

- maybe even her eyes are a little hazy

- "y/n, sweetheart, do you remember what happened?"

- patiently waits for your answer, you're still a little groggy

- you were either attacked by an animal and passed out from the fright

- or you were attacked by an armed person and was knocked out

- either way, the guards are on it

- nadia isn't letting whoever or whatever did this get away without a fight

- the palace is meant to be a safe haven for you

- for the both of you

- "well, don't you worry, we'll take care of that"

- you try to sit up but she won't let you

- "oh no, you must stay down, y/n. you are possibly concussed from the fall"

- "oh okay, sorry"

- "is there anything i can get you?"

- the countess of vesuvia, serving you in your time of need

- "just some water would be nice"

- "of course, i'll have some brought up right away"

- i literally feel like he would just start crying straight up

- cause like he has some problems anyway

- he big sad boi

- and you coming home to the hut bleeding from a gash in the arch of your foot is not helping

- picks you and carries you to the bed without a word

- just starts examining the cut

- inanna is also very concerned

- she licks the blood from the cut, she's trying to be helpful

- meanwhile muriel is stumbling around the hut looking for anything to stop the bleeding, disinfect it, bandage it, anything

- but he's not the best about keeping that stuff in stock

- keeps looking back at you with worry in his eyes

- he doesn't know what to do

- "muriel, let me see if i can contact asra. maybe he or julian can bring me a salve. i'm pretty sure i'm gonna need stitches"

- low-key makes him feel worse

- cause he feels like he's unable to care for you and keep your safe

- even tho this was just an accident

- he's breathing really fast, his anxiety creeping

- agrees anyway, but goes to get them himself

- "i'll be back soon, just keep this piece of cloth pressed against it"

- cause you're bleeding like a lot

- inanna stays behind

- he returns very quickly with julian in tow, though he doesn't look happy about it

- leaves the hut without another word

- julian gets to work immediately

- "so, you cut your foot i see"

- smartass.

- "yeah, muriel always tells me to put on shoes when i walk in the woods but i love to feel the grass beneath my feet"

- julian chuckled at this

- "and i'm assuming you, what, stepped on a rock?"

- "...yeah, sliced it right open"

- after julian is done cleaning up the cut, he tells you to just stay off of it for a while and make sure it doesn't get infected

- once he's gone, muriel trudges back into the hut

- "muriel, baby, it was just a cut it's not a big deal"

- but his eyes look hurt, and you beckon him toward the bed

- "hey," your hands on his cheeks, "i'm okay, really"

- "sorry, i just got scared. blood is still a trigger for me and since you got hurt in my woods, i felt like it was my fault"

- "muriel, of course it wasn't your fault"

- he really needed a hug

- after this instance, he made sure to keep medical supplies in the hut and you promised to try and wear shoes in the woods more often than not

- "i'll try my best to be more careful. deal?"

- sweet lil smile

- "deal."

- "oh my god, y/n, what the hell happened??"

- you were tending the garden

- without her supervision

- and the garden sheers might have sliced into the palm of your hand

- deep

- brings you over to the sink and runs water over the cut, covering it with a towel when the dripping blood had been washed away

- girl is on the move

- cause she knows what to do! love that

- low-key a main reason why julian managed to live as long as he has

- pepi is curiously perched atop one of the counters, peering down

- finds her personal first aid kit she had stashed in the bathroom

- guides you over to sit on the counter while she tries to figure out what to do

- "damn, you really cut yourself, y/n"

- "sorry! i think i just got a little carried away"

- she giggles at that, though she is still worried about the fact that it won't stop bleeding

- gently wraps the cut in gauze and adheres it together

- places a kiss to your fingertips

- "all done! no more gardening for you!"

- "hey, why not?"

- "well you don't want that cut to open back up again and again, do you?"

- "no"

- "alright then," she smiled, moving to put away the first aid kit again, "and we're going up to the palace medical wing first thing tomorrow morning to make sure it's not infected"

- eye roll

- "yes ma'am" you mocked

- even though you know it's just because she loves you

- "but since you got hurt, you want me to bake you some cookies?"

- "only if you let me eat the dough!"

- good god do i love this man

- but he is so self-absorbed it's actually insane

- and I feel like he wouldn't even notice at first

- cause he's too focused on himself

- gazing into the mirror without a care in the world when you walked in

- "y/n, thank goodness you're home, how do you feel about these pants?"

- you just hobbled to the nearest seat, hand resting over the gash on your knee

- mercedes and melchior were lazing across a rug at the base of his mirror, their attention set on you

- "u-um, yeah, they look good"

- literally just trying not to bleed out, over here

- "good? oh really, now, y/n don't they look amazing?"

- "yes, they look ama- ow, damnit"

- then he turned around

- immediate shock and worry! oh no oh no y/n is hurt!

- mercedes and melchior walked over first, whining as they took in the cut, brushing around the edges

- lucio raced over, squatting down in front of you, and began examining the cut

- "hey, hey, what happened?"

- "i accidentally tripped on my walk in the garden and scraped my knee on the cobblestone"

- he was lightly touching around the cut, gauging how sensitive it was

- when you flinched he stopped, looking into your eyes with a soft "sorry"

- "i think i need to go to the palace infirmary"

- "oh there's no need, i can take care of you!"

- you were not convinced he could take care of you, at least not well

- "uh, lucio, are you sure?"

- he looked slightly offended, at that

- "you know, y/n, i did fight in battles at one point. i have not only tended to my own wounds, but the wounds of others, as well"

- you giggled at the thought

- "much to your protest, though, i'm sure"

- he moved to the small cabinet of medical supplies in the ensuite to your bedroom, returning to your side with it in hand

- "at points, but i don't mind helping you in the slightest"

- for all of his antics, his soft side was enough to make you fall in love all over again

- and although i know he would take care of you in literally any situation, i can't say for certainty that he would stick around and place nurse lucio for long if a person had hurt you

- attacked you

- much like nadia, the guards would be sent out without a second thought, lucio leading the pack in the search for you aggressor

[aprillikesthings]

WOO

but Glimmer and Bow chase her down. "What's going on?"

Bow: "So, why here? And how do we get out?" She-Ra: "When I broke the Sword, I thought...I thought I could make my own destiny."

Glimmer being the voice of reason for once: "what do you mean END"

Thorny vines start growing

She-Ra: "I'm losing her. I'm distracted and confused, and I'm scared."

her voice is so shaky ahhh

but also IT'S NOT TRUE but Shadow Weaver fucking said it to her and it's been eating at her and have I mentioned I'm looking forward to that piece of shit dying, like if it weren't for her Catra could be here the whole time supporting her, or at the very least Adora wouldn't be ditching even Glimmer and Bow because she's convinced she has to go fucking sacrifice herself like she's Etherian Jesus

(the irony of my saying this when I went to a Good Friday service literally six hours ago is not escaping me lol)

YOU REALLY DON'T THO

(lol Bow basically says that)

"I love you guys so much."

;_;

dude I still have twelve minutes to go on this episode and I have no idea what order shit happens in anymore or when, like there's still over 40 minutes of this show left and I can remember like three plot points wtf

ANYWAY Adora grabs the sword and there's a flash of light and she disappears

OH SHIT okay there's a bit of an earthquake and the hologram disappears: Glimmer and Bow are in a big empty room of the Crystal Castle. So then where's Adora??

noooo

also the room starts to turn that eerie bright green

(So true story: aaaaages ago I saw a local production of the opera Faust, and the Devil was always back-lit by the fluorescent green of an old-school photocopy machine. I've always liked that She-Ra uses the exact same color for Horde Prime's shit.)(also, I sobbed all the way through The Jewel song, way up in my nose-bleed seats surrounded by college students who were very much not actually watching the damn thing lolol)

OKAY so Catra went to the rebellion hideout shouting for Adora and fucking Shadow Weaver replies >:(

watching her face go from anxious to OH FUCK YOU was p satisfying

wait is this bitch drunk. can they show that in a y7-rated show.

oh myg od she DOES SOUND A LITTLE DRUNK LOLOL it's just barely, like they could plausibly deny it, but any adult watching this would know, she is juuuuust barely slurring her words

Catra: "What do you mean, she's not here? Where is she?" Shadow Weaver: "She's gone to the Heart of Etheria to free the magic,"

"If you are still so selfish as to try and stop--"

hell yeah go Catra

"Prime is doing something to the planet. He's infecting it. He's going for the Heart."

Clone: "The last of Etheria's security protocols have been breached, Lord Prime. Planetary acquisition is at 20 percent."

OH NO okay Entrapta is surrounded by that green light and then ends up on Horde Prime's ship

"You're just in time to witness the end of your world"

oh that's definitely Hordak, gotta be

on the planet, the rest of the Rebellion is still fighting--but the moment they destroy a bunch of clones, a shit-ton more appear. But they just stand there?

Water washes up to their feet. Perfuma has the same reaction I do: "Oh no." Yeah. They all end up ankle deep in water and then electrically shocked.

and that's why

he's a huge projection of some sort

something something joke about the Rapture

I guess you can see it from like, everywhere

oh god he drags poor Entrapta into view by her hair, and she says "I'm sorry" in the most sad voice ever. And it's not her fault!!

"Your She-Ra has abandoned you." NO, SHE HASN'T

"All that is left for your world is a terrible and eternal night." and he disappears

Catra: "Take us to Adora. Now!" Shadow Weaver: "She's too far away by now. We'd never reach her in time."

Shadow Weaver: "It doesn't work that way, Catra!" Catra: "You've done it before! When you abandoned me in the Fright Zone. And you've always been able to track us our whole lives."

Shadow Weaver pulls a little vial out of her pocket. "Come here."

Catra takes her hand.

Glimmer and Bow are still yelling for Adora and running through the halls, but then a bit of sorcery glows on the floor, a black flame goes up, and when it dies down:

YAYYY

Shadow Weaver leans on the wall, this clearly was exhausting for her. (well that's what she gets for drinking!!)

Catra: "Where's Adora?" Glimmer, sobbing: "She left us!"

okay Catra's immediate freak-out is a bit understandable under the circumstances

Bow: "Catra, what is going on?" Catra: "Horde Prime is onto you. He's hacking into the planet. All of this is [she waves at the green] is from him" Bow: "He's gonna take the Heart." Catra: "That's not all. He's got Entrapta." Bow: "If Prime has Entrapta, that means the other princesses are still chipped. We have to get back up there." Glimmer: "We can't just leave Adora!"

she's clenching that fist so hard it's shaking

;_;

(yeah I remember that. "you look out for me, and i look out for you. nothing really bad can happen as long as we're together." *sobbing*)

Oh man Catra gets this expression of resolve. "It's time I made good on that."

;_;

AAHHHHH IT'S SO SWEET

awwww

Melog stays with Glimmer and Bow, who teleport to Horde Prime's thing on Etheria, Bow says he's going to help with cutting off the signal and Glimmer's going to help the Princesses

AND GLIMMER SHOVES HER FACE into Bow's chest and says "I love you." Bow says it back. It's so cute omg

awwww it's so chaste

HIT THE IMAGE LIMIT AGAIN gotta reblog

oh god oh god

HEY GUESS WHAT I'm down to the last two episodes of She-Ra in my rewatch

On a related note, should you desire to read them all starting from s1ep1 for some godforsaken reason, here's the link. Please be amused at my claims that I would not do this for every episode and my repeated attempts to cut back on how much I copy/paste dialogue and/or explain the entire plot instead of just making jokes and commentary

If, somehow, you are New Here, I've been rewatching all of the 2018 She-Ra, ostensibly for fic-writing reasons as I had forgotten huge quantities of the plot. I have since become deeply obsessed, as one does.

I make a lot of adult jokes, random asides, references to other things, commentary, and a lot of cursing and crying. I love Catradora and I love Catra especially and have a tendency to add a screenshot every time they so much as look at each other. It seems silly to warn for spoilers at this point, but yeah, this is a RE-watch. It's just that I forgot a lot of it because I watched it the first time as it was coming out (pun intended). The shit I did remember is so fucking random tho lol

The last time I tried to do a two-parter in one post the number of times I had to reblog it because tumblr only allows 30 images per post got real stupid, so while I do still assume I will have to reblog multiple times per episode, I'm doing each episode separately.

HERE WE GOOOOO

s5 ep12 Heart (pt 1)

jfc i'm full of adrenaline lol

Also I have a beer, it's a citrus IPA because I live in Portland and it's required by law

(not really I just genuinely like them. that and IPA's that taste like gnawing on a douglas fir. also fruit sours.)

LOL I was so anxious I looked away from this post and consumed most of my beer this is gonna be hilarious

ALSO my goal is to finish these two episodes before the Easter Vigil service tomorrow night at 8pm

Theoretically I should be able to watch two episodes of TV in a day and a half, right? AHAHA

Bow should play Wonderwall

she always looks so soft with her hair down

but also having that thing just floating in front of your chest like that has gotta feel weird

ON A RELATED NOTE I know I made the joke in the last episode about how many people have the failsafe as a tattoo but the PROBLEM is that now I literally LIVE with a tattoo artist whose work I like--I already have two tattoos they've done, here and here, and the temptation is extremely high?? but I don't have any other obvious fandom-related tattoos (unless you count the title of a Björk song) so it feels weird to start with this one???? Like I don't have any LoTR or BBC Sherlock or SU or K/DA tattoos (to list off a bunch of fandoms I was devastatingly obsessed with at the time) so getting one for THIS fandom feels kinda weird. But like, also, if I got it kinda small on one wrist it would look kinda cool and be a nice loud DID U KNOW I'M GAY kinda thing. Gyahhh.

She's struggling to do She-Ra, and I'm sitting here YELLING because IT'S BECAUSE CATRA LEFT and UGH I want to murder Shadow Weaver

(eyyyy I won't have to, ha ha oh god)

Oh she manages to transform anyway. Without making any noise or glowing lights, just pop, She-Ra

awwww but also lol

related aside but like, every culture that figured out bows and arrows invented at least one kind of string instrument. Literally archers just fidgeting with their bows and going "oh this makes a nice sound, what if I put more strings on this thing." So many different places and cultures invented things like a guitar or like a harp or like a violin. But also I want to know who the FUCK figured out the hurdy-gurdy??? oh my god I just looked up the hurdy-gurdy and I'm cracking up because one of the earliest depictions of it is from the 1100's, in the Santiago de Compostela cathedral. A place I have been. Because I did the Camino last year.

oh right plot

I would like to take a moment and be grateful for the people who put together the transcripts on the fandom wiki for saving me typing up long bits of lore-heavy dialogue

She-Ra: "Prime is getting closer every day to figuring out how to access the Heart of Etheria. If he succeeds, he can use it to destroy worlds, galaxies, maybe even the entire universe. The Failsafe is our only chance at stopping him."

"His hold over them grows stronger every day they're chipped. If we don't free them now, we might lose them forever. Prime holds every advantage in this fight. He'll be ready for us. But we have a plan. Entrapta?" Entrapta: "I finally succeeded in cracking Prime's signal pattern. If I get access to his Spire network, I can use it to broadcast a jamming frequency that will disable all of the chips on Etheria, freeing everyone at once!" She-Ra: I need you all to get Entrapta to the Spire and keep Prime's forces distracted while she jams the signal."

"We're going to make sure that Prime can never hurt anyone ever again. We're ending this today. For good."

oh lord so Shadow Weaver is still there, sulking and looking away, and she looks over at her and starts almost losing She-Ra and being Adora again

have I mentioned how much I hate Shadow Weaver >:(

Adora goes outside...and looks around. I know who she's looking for. *sobs into a pillow*

NO. she's LOOKING for her GIRLFRIEND

I made that joke and then Glimmer literally says "Any sign of Catra?" I have to remember that at this point in the story literally everyone knows how in love they both are. Except them. Of course.

Adora: "She's not coming back." ;_;

Adora: I mean you don't have to come with me this could be dangerous Bow: the fuck are you talking about of course we're going

And she turns into She-Ra again, roll intro

Okay so they go to the Crystal Castle thing where Light Hope was

it doesn't look so good

but also that's creepy

anyway they tell the hologram (not Light Hope, the other one) that they're looking for the Heart of Etheria and that they're Friends of Mara. She-Ra gets scanned and then a door opens into a passageway. Bow and Glimmer take her hands and they walk into the hall but:

she's still looking for someone

I have to deal with another episode and change of her looking for Catra ghghggh this hurts meeeee

OH SO OF COURSE they literally switch to showing us Catra

bahaha okay so she sits up and looks behind her kind of sadly, and Melog just skids to a stop so hard they throw Catra off

And Melog looks at Catra like she's fucking nuts. Catra's like, wtf is wrong with you??? and Melog looks back like BITCH WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??? Catra what did you think was going to happen when you got a therapy animal that can literally read your moods. Melog knows you're being a dumbass and has NO reason to pretend to believe your surface "I don't give a shit" act!!

Melog does airplane ears at that. And then just pounces Catra.

Time for pressure! Just like a real therapy animal. Big weighted blanket!

oh shit I forgot about this bit

Catra just immediately starts crying.

Catra: "You saw what happened! Adora chose Shadow Weaver, okay? Not me!"

*sobs into hands* you useless fucking dumbass that is your abysmally low self-esteem talking literally every living semi-sentient thing in the galaxy knows Adora's in love with you EXCEPT YOU

I can get frustrated with AU fics where these two both pull this "but what if she doesn't like me back" thing for ages while everyone around them is face-palming in frustration, but like. You have to admit. It's accurate to canon.

(It's also accurate to lesbians in general, lbh. Either fucking on the first date or doing the "but what if she's not into me" thing for months-to-years. Sometimes both, including in some of the fics I've written, heyooooo.)

Melog purrs and licks her face. A clone approaches and they both go invisible and then follow it.

MEANWHILE

the rest of the rebellion is attacking Horde Prime's ship thing

Wrong Hordak helps Entrapta get into the spire. The whole point of this fight (which I didn't bother screenshotting lol) is to give Entrapta time to disconnect everyone's chips from Horde Prime.

Lol once inside Entrapta does another one of those "holy shit this stuff looks so cool...OMG FOCUS" things

Back at the Crystal Castle Glimmers like "omg are you scared" and She-Ra says "No, I just hope this works." Liar.

Bow: "It'll be okay. And when we get back, it'll be a whole new world."

this poor girl. she's so heartbroken.

(meanwhile the plot of my fic-in-progress is literally them breaking up. (not forever.) but it's hilarious of me to get SO UPSET over this scene when I'm going to force them to repeat it. like it's a mutual decision in my fic but it doesn't make it hurt any less.)

PFFT I unpaused it, and IMMEDIATELY:

I just said OH SHIT out loud lol

oh god I saw someone talking about this in a youtube video right around when I started my rewatch

It's a hologram, she's not actually there. And Catra goes through multiple other ages, including her kid self, being chipped on Horde Prime's ship, when they were Horde cadets, etc; before going back to looking like she does now.

Adora's sharp little gasp of shock here

Adora goes to touch Catra's hand and the hologram disappears

(good lord she's beautiful here)

And I think I agree with the youtube video: Adora knew she was upset about Catra running off, but this is the moment she specifically realizes she's in love, and it breaks her heart into tiny pieces.

(Hah, I actually say a very similar thing in part of my fic that they mention in the video--that previous to this, she refused to let herself want this or even think about it. "I didn't even realize this was something I could want.")

BUT ALSO so like is this a remnant of Light Hope's programming that tortured them with childhood flashbacks in season one (in order to drive them apart) or what

LOL NO

I know I made this joke before but I'm suing Nate for emotional damages

She-Ra: "We need to be careful. It looks like this place can still project memories."

oof

A still-invisible Catra follows the clone to where Horde Prime's ship is and is visibly terrified and shaking. A clone who might be Hordak turns around with that white in his eyes that means Prime is using him to see, and Catra just tries to be quiet and not move but she's obviously triggered, and I mean that in the literal PTSD sense.

Horde Prime (via Hordak?): "My brothers. The time has come at last. No longer shall She-Ra stand in my way."

oh okay so Horde Prime's actual ship is still in space (just orbiting Etheria I assume) and the planet-side thing is him speaking through one of the clones via the hive mind.

"Begin the acquisition process!"

are they just gonna straight-up drill into it?

apparently yes

the whole area lights up with that sickening green light, including all the lines that characters kept noticing on the ground that looked like some combo of circuit boards and First Ones' writing.

meanwhile, Adora keeps slipping out of being She-Ra for split seconds and is clearly stressing The Fuck Out and possibly walking in the wrong direction in her distress, only to walk into another memory/hologram.

And I've predictably hit the image limit, but 13:30 to go which is better than last night pfft okay gonna reblog

Hi! I really enjoy reading your takes on the main 6.

Anyways could I request the main 6 with a MC that is a adrenaline junkie? Just loves to do anything that makes their adrenaline start pumping?

If you can't it's fine and thanks for making these hc!

it’s no problem! i’m glad you like my blog <3

(i hope this is what you imagined?? i’m writing this when i’m very tired so—)

M6 with an s/o who is an adrenaline junkie

Asra

slight adrenaline junkie themselves but it’s not that bad yk

now if ur a crazy adrenaline junkie then whew

they mostly just laugh and tell you to be careful

if it’s absolutely too dangerous he just kinda…holds you by the waist

it’s almost like when you tell a dog to stay-

if you manage to escape i give you a farewell and congratulations

faust is always on your side, i mean, we know she’s the one who convinced asra to jump off the docks ships with her 🥰

at the end of the day as long as ur having fun and safe they don’t really mind <3

10/10 ur support and slight adrenaline junkie buddy

Julian

oh my god mazelinka wants to hit you both

you’re both adrenaline junkies. and sometimes it worries people.

cough cough mazelinka cough cough

niether of you really cares though, you both get to do exciting and crazy stuff together so <3

and omg it’s the best feeling ever when you’re right in the middle of doing something crazy with him

he’s so- ugh, he’s one of the best people to do this with lmao

tl;dr no you don’t have any brain cells but you both love everyone ach other and do it anyway

hmm 8/10 bc hes bound to be more of an adrenaline junkie than u and drag you places after ur tired

Nadia

my dear don’t do that. we don’t need another vulgora in the palace

she’s like a mom with her toddler

if it isn’t anything that’ll hurt you or something she’s gotta do absolutely perfect, you can do it

just- don’t break anything-

“NADIA LOOK AT WHAT I DID HAHA” “Yes that’s very wonderful dear, anyways-“

she doesn’t mean to shrug ur clearly important duties off but she’s very busy

catch her at a less busy hour tho and she’s much less distracted

she does like a bit of adventure though, so if you manage to convince her, she’ll do something exciting with you 👀

tl;dr nadia is very busy but loves doing thrilling things with u

8/10 bc she’s busy but also very fun

Muriel

it’s- hes complicated

it’s like he just knows what is too dangerous and what’ll just make you feel alive man

inanna joins you everytime though, you could almost swear she enjoys it more than you do

you probably won’t ever convince him to do much, but i’m betting you tried to convince him once and he did it bc of u and inannas puppy eyes

muriel: 0 Mc: 1

don’t actually try to do something when he tells you it’s too dangerous bc he just- picks you up like a mom cat does

and then you really can’t do that thing you really wanted to

tl;dr big honker man doesn’t like adrenaline rushes at first but does it anyway for the person who loves the thrill (and ends up liking crazy things)

7/10 bc he was hesitant

Portia

you thought julian was bad? think again

the devoraks are so similar but so different

portia will absolutely do dangerous things and it’s gonna end up a mess if you both join in

no one can stop the combined 0.005 of a braincell you two share

pepi joins along sometimes <3

ur little adrenaline junkie family is so cute and scary

every date is a thrilling one with her 🥰

you will not regret being with her at all lolol

very thrilling 10/10

Lucio

so sorry ur gonna be alone on every adventure if you don’t count melchior

Mans is literally the biggest baby unless it’s a battlefield

he tried to come with you once and literally felt like jelly after

if you wanna spar or do something of that sort hes all for it though

sparring with him is always exciting- hes always trying new things and ur most likely not as experienced so-

you either get pinned or a sword to your throat LMAO

will scream like a little girl if you get him dragged into something other than sparring

just give him a kiss and hold him after and he’s good as new lol

very good at sparring but nothing else 4/10
