#soul eater: a new madness consumes?

[pencilofawesomeness]

The JJK x TWST crossover that started living rent free in my head >:'D

Random Doodle Edition

Ahem, so, uhh, turns out the characters of Jujutsu Kaisen fit pretty well as Night Raven College students, temperament-wise, and that was all the excuse I needed. Yes the ages get funky but whatever. Happy high school AU except they still get cool powers and Trauma(tm). Just less than JJK canon so I count it as a win.

I also may or may not have written an entire oneshot (here on AO3) for some freshmen Satoru & Suguru bonding, featuring me still bullying Satoru over his funky eyes.

Image Text (and me rambling more) underneath the cut

-

Gojo Satoru (of the Jupiter Clan)

Ignihyde Housewarden Year: Junior Species: Sky Dragon (Fae) Club: Movie Analysis Club Unique Magic: Six Eyes—pretty much just like canon Six Eyes. They can see far and wide and out of normal sight, and they can see magic in a highly detailed manner. They are also powered by magic that just, never stops ever, so he can decrease or increase the power/range at will to a degree, but technically, cutting off magic from them altogether will blind him. Also he has an inherited magic that he by no means asked for, which is, sad drumroll, Gate of the Underworld. (There are no shrouds in this AU, just me finding ways to forever make Satoru instrumental to the well-being of the world to his own detriment. I have waaaaay more thoughts about the "Jupiter Clan of dragons" and what that actually entails, but they are still jumbled and shifting, so. Maybe later.)

-

Geto Suguru (of the Draconia Clan)

Diasomnia Housewarden Year: Junior Species: Night Dragon (Fae) Club: Equestrian Club Unique Magic: Magic-eater—can consume and nullify any spell and gain its base magic. With minimum side effects. Mostly. :)

-

Satoru and Suguru are their usual brand of special-grade menaces, being the only two adolescent dragon fae in the world, buttttt they still inevitably become besties. With Shoko too, of course, who has no fear and will mess with them as they see fit.

Suguru is essentially Malleus in this AU, though in Suguru-fashion, he's way more stubborn when it comes to trying to catch up. (Translating him being new to sorcery to being new to technology was surprisingly low-hanging fruit.) Meanwhile I borrowed the Jupiter name/legacy because it was fitting and made the Gojo Clan into a long-lived dynasty of antisocial dragons who fist-fight and deal with Phantoms and recently accidentally became a tech empire, which is pretty close to the Sorcerer Family vibe a la TWST, if I say so myself.

There's definitely a lot of backstory I have in mind for the two of them. Neither of them beat teen parenthood (they are currently Malleus-aged, so 178 years old, but that's still teenagehood for a dragon/fae) and acquired children through various means, much to the consternation of their elders/court. I might develop/write more solid ideas later, but Suguru has a reverse characterization moment when he finds two starved/beaten human children (the twins) and begins his journey of losing all intrinsic racism via love, and Satoru still somehow gets his shit wrecked by Toji (probably a heist gone violent or something) and then finds out he had abandoned children: human Tsumiki and half-fae Megumi.

-

Nobara Orientation Comic:

Nobara: Obviously, I'm going to get ~Pomefiore~ because I'm elegant and graceful. (And a badass queen, of course)

Mirror: The nature of your soul is... Savanaclaw

Nobara, getting dragged away from the Mirror by Maki: HEY WAIT A MINUTE! STOP MESSING WITH ME YOU DIRTY SMUGED HUNK OF JUNK AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I THINK OF—

(Nobara gets her reverse-Epel moment, but she adapts quickly. Especially because she still comes to have mad respect for Maki.)

-

Ieri Shoko

Ignihyde Vice-Housewarden Year: Junior Species: Merfolk (Nurse Shark) Club: Science Club Unique Magic: Reverse—rewinds a target to its previous state within twenty four hours. The longer within the range, the harder/more magic it will take, especially for larger targets, so realistically her range is less. (For example, if someone cracked a piece of glass 24 hours ago, Shoko could restore it, but a day-old wound on a living being would be much harder.)

Making Shoko a mermaid was a joke to myself at first but then I liked it and it spiraled and now Nurse Shark Shoko is unironically one of my favorite things that I have drawn. The joke was right there too, but it's mostly fun to me because nurse sharks are docile and apathetic creatures, for the large part (they are still sharks lol), and I think match her temperament well.

Also when Satoru pestered the previous housewarden enough times to accidentally gain the title for himself, he made Shoko his vice (mostly because he trusted her) to make sure he never had to do the paperwork and the boring parts. She makes him do it anyway. To the dorm, she is less of a vice and more of a "dragon wrangler," which is still extremely appreciated.

-

Zen'in Maki

Savanaclaw Housewarden Year: Sophomore Species: Human Club: Track & Field Unique Magic: N/A���Maki doesn't actually have magic of her own, but she is unnaturally resistant to most magic. She can, however, use magic/cast spells through a magic-capable familiar.

She befriended a phoenix when she was younger, having survived an encounter with a wild youth. (idk what I want the details to be but I think it would be cool if she had some related burns to it, with the idea that these creatures are rare and volatile and hard for normal humans to handle without high magic resistance.) His name is Torch because I don't think Maki would put that much thought into a name, so long as its not completely stupid sounding. I almost named the phoenix Jogo but I refrained for my own sanity.

-

Inumaki Toge

Savanaclaw Year: Sophomore Species: Human Club: Board Game Club Unique Magic: Reality Speak—pretty much just how Cursed Speech works but with a world-friendly name. Also it can apply to inanimate objects as well. The power and scope of the command is proportional to the magic required.

Toge gets an overall nicer time in this AU because he doesn't have cursed speech 24/7 and therefore can speak normally. Though the idea of him being able to affect people/bend reality with his words does freak people out. I imagine he had a rough childhood nonetheless, because why not, leading him to be less verbal than he would have been otherwise.

-

Okkotsu Yuuta

Diasomnia Year: Sophomore Species: Human Club: Board Game Club Unique Magic: Wraith Pact-maker—he can enhance/bolster a ghost's magic/presence through making a link with himself. It has to be mutual, and it can last for any duration of time, although actively using the link does require magic. The ghost in question gains magic and grounding from Yuuta, and Yuuta can use the ghost's magic, including their UM, if applicable. He can have multiple links, but the first and main recipient of this magic is his childhood friend Rika.

Between her longlasting connection with Yuuta and her brutal death, she is a more wraith-like and powerful ghost. Her unique magic was to copy other people's UMs, which Yuuta can use through her in short bursts.

-

I didn't have space nor solid ideas for unique magics for the Hasaba twins and the Fushiguros, so I didn't do full bios for them. Later, perhaps. All of the girls are sophomores and Megumi is a freshman. Tsumiki and Nanako are sharing their social brain cell and trading stories of stupid things their dragon dads/older brothers/untitled guardians have done, while Megumi is helping budding-gamer Mimiko learn Pokemon strats. I love the idea of them all being friends, maybe after minimal difficulty in the girls' first year, likely on account of the twins being a little Sebek-shaped, in terms of wanting to be The Best Guards for Suguru, etc etc.

-

I technically have way more ideas for other characters and other dorms, but, I will end this here, for now. I am trying to reign myself in lmao.

[best-ghoul]

So, Sin Eater.

Sneeter's a game idea I've been cooking for years, and it's been my project this year for my Game Design course. Here's what's up:

Sin Eater is a CRPG about what it means to fail and live on.

It's very FMA, very Arknights, very Tales of Berseria, a little Bloodborne.

So, here's what's up: It's the gothic era in a dungeonpunk fantasy world, on a continent called Dis. The tyrannical gods of this continent-- called Demiurges-- are dead and Mortalkind killed them. This seemed, at the time, to be a very good idea.

The Demiurges were responsible for all magic in this world, extracting it from Mortals through sacrifice. With the Demiurges dead, their divine power, called Geist, runs rampant across the continent. Overexposure to Geist turns people into warped monsters called Cambions, and high concentrations spawn half-formed mad spirits called Fiends.

From a mortal perspective, once you're a Cambion your life is over. You're accursed, a predator. You've gotta feed off of Geist-- which is produced by Mortals, or the curse will devour you. Worse, you have to do so while fading in and out of a frenzy state, driven by fell instinct to extract and consume Geist. In doing, you risk making more Cambions. You're a contagion now. A leper with fangs. You need to be corrected, contained.

Most Cambions don't see it that way.

You play a hunting party of four of them:

"You", the protag, are Tabitha, a deserter from a monster-hunting knightly order called the Catharate. She just got raised from the brink of death as a Cambion, courtesy of Czeska and Kaskamin.

Czeska, a necromantic, vampire doctor who brought you back. She's forging bold new frontiers in medicine in the way only a Cambion can. She hates her job, and herself.

Kaskamin, Czeska's assistant, a dream-eating psychic that rewired your brain. She's is soul-bonded to you as a result. If you die, she dies. You're questing to break that link.

Solenna, Czeska's frenemy-- a manic werewolf who just fuckin' LOVES being a Cambion SO DAMN MUCH, and has found a delicate symbiosis with mortalkind-- a symbiosis that you have just disrupted.

These four form the hidden guard for a caravan of outcasts, and half your job is diverting suspicion that these nomads have a Cambion in their midst.

But now, you find themselves dogged by Cathars. Lia, Tabitha's former friend, at the fore. She is very intent on making sure you die properly, and will muster all the forces she needs in order to do it. ...Also, you stole her super cool chainsword before you died. She wants that back too.

You're fighting your way through the corpse of the old world while the new world is struggling to be born. And you're getting hungry.

Rev that blade, you monster. Avenge Yourself!

Last Song: Soul Eater by Savage Ga$p and KAMAARA

Fave Color: really saturated true red or silver

Last Book: Molecular Consciousness. Its a, new age science book? occultism? im not sure how to class it. About 3/4 is explaining science and the last quarter is about how everything in the universe is in song together. Basically. Its like a love letter to the universe from a physicist

Last Movie: Honestly i dunno? I dont really watch movies. Saw the opening to Thanksgiving (2023) and i don't recommend if you have an aversionto gore. Over the top but also, very visceral and a little too real

Last TV show: I dont really watch them, my parents usually have it on to watch wheel of fortune (derogatory seacrest) and Jeopardy (positive Jennings) when we have dinner every week. Which then also means masked singer which I'll admit I like the musicality but not the drama

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: I like sweet on its own, but on food i like savory or spicy typically. If its a protein it Cannot be sweet. But chocolate or sour gummies are great.

Relationship Status: Classified. Don't care to share or talk about it in general within a public space

Last thing I searched for online: Amtrak train ticket prices! very cheap, do like that

Looking forward to: Finally getting my car finalized so I can drive with heated seats

Current obsession: Fuckin', Red Hood Jason Todd. Consumed my entire goddamn life and I'm only a little bit mad. Bestie Ray got me some PJ pants and a mug and a tshirt and i had just bought a logo blanket. its a problem. I love him. Oh and also puzzle games I guess.

if you wanna but no pressure 💜

Got this idea mid ArtFight and these doodles were just to blow off some of that steam before I exploded very sanely. (Read from left to right, ignore that some bottom pannels appear to connect to higher ones... I usually just screen shot the individual pannels but idk I'm trying something new)

My repulsive ocs but in the Soul Eater universe (I have not watched Soul Eater in years and this concept was on a whim so forgive me if this is unbearable to hardcore Soul Eaters out there) (also apologizing for my ocs tbh, they suck really really bad)

Israel, Palestine and the Two Ravens of Odin

“Then the carcasses of this people will become food for the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away. I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns…” -‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭7‬:‭33‬-‭34‬ ‭

The two Ravens of the Norse God Odin are called: Hugin and Munin. The translation of these bird’s names both involve the ideas of: “thought,” “desire,” and “emotion.”

Ravens are often associated with being eaters of the dead. The unclean birds that devour the slain of battle.

A raven eating a corpse is a gruesome image. To stand and watch someone’s loved one being dismantled and consumed by black beasts is a horrific terror for the mind and heart. Yellow eyes, shrill squawking in the fields sown with hell and horror is a picture that reaches into the depths of one’s soul and unsettles and unmakes us. Our fragile worlds, without and within, are disrupted, darkened and devastated.

It is a cold and brutal reminder that war eats out mind, heart and…hope.

Death 💀 is the end of desire.

In war, all that we have hoped for in our earthly lives is savagely struck down. Dreams and visions, plans and promises ripped out of our chests and stream over the burnt earth with blood and gore.

The Raven eats the victors and the defeated alike. The flesh of soldiers and the flesh of the innocents caught between invaders and defenders.

All are food for the birds of the air and only the wise know that vengeance is not a crown of victory.

Lately I’ve been sitting with Hugin and Munin at the confessional of my soul listening to all they have seen.

Tales of Terror in:

Burma

Ukraine

Africa

and now Israel and Palestine.

I’ll never escape the image of someone’s daughter being shoved into an suv with bloodied pants from being violently raped by Hamas terrorists.

I know that more horrors are to come. Victims and victors all bloodied by the cycles of justice and injustice battering cities to ruin and rubble.

Truly the sounds of joy and gladness are silenced.

Years ago in the aftermath of an endless list of people and places ravaged by violence, I wrote a poem after trying to help my kids process the world they were becoming aware of in their young lives.

It’s a poem that will never truly be fully written because the list of events won't end until the Prince of Peace returns.

Yet again I share it here as a witness to the long defeat we all must walk until our judgments come to account.

Odin’s Eye

Last night,

after talking to you,

yet again, I wept.

Massacres, mayhem and madness,

like crows gathered above my heart.

Their twitching, golden eyes,

saw my fears openly,

pecked at my scars,

dug into my wounds,

exposing memories.

A Van Gogh slain in the streets of Amsterdam,

high school halls filled with the dead,

lady Liberty’s towers falling in fire and ash,

theaters of gunfire echoing from Colorado.

Elementary playgrounds of unimaginable horror,

nightclub music silenced in blood and tears.

Norwegian summer camp butchering,

Paris brought to her knees,

Iraq in rubble, her teashops blown open by the breath of Apollyon.

Fort Hood.

Boston,

San Francisco,

beheadings, shootings, burnings and drownings,

blood trails behind the horses of the apocalypse.

I am father,

protector, provider, way maker,

and yet,

how many demons can I swallow for you?

Two generations born,

and still the fires of gehenna

burn.

At the well of wisdom, I sit,

Odin’s eye staring back at me in the depths,

what sacrifice can I give to see a new future born?

What I have witnessed, darkens my vision.

I gouge out my eye to quench your fires,

while birds of prey feast on our sorrows,

again,

and again,

and

again.

Things I love about going back through and re-reading the manga that the muses come from:

In Soul Eater, you pick up on just how fucking intelligent Soul 'Eater' Evans actually is. He might not be smart in the same sense as Maka or Ox, but he provides crucial insight or makes plans on the fly thanks to remaining calm and level headed. The first 'prologue' chapter demonstrates this exceptionally well by using the ruse of being Blair's new weapon to get her to drop her guard long enough for the killing blow. It happens again several times throughout the manga, but one of the more notable times is when he saves Maka during their first encounter with one of the Clowns. She starts to get lost in the Madness, but upon getting her to resonate with him while consumed by it, manages to get her to realize that Madness isn't necessarily all bad, as Courage may be a type of madness all its own.

Point is, Soul is nobody's idiot. Sure, he's the cool guy, doesn't necessarily make good grades, and is laid back as fuck, but he tries and often sees an answer that most people don't think of.

LAST SONG: Cruel Angel's Thesis from Neon Genesis Evangelion (the brainrot is real but the opening is a jam.)

CURRENTLY WATCHING: I am at the cinema watching the new Ghostbusters! But I'm also still watching Dungeon Meshi and I'm going to get round to the NGE rebuilt films. (I am generally very bad at watching TV shows.

THREE SHIPS: Oooh, my short attention span could never!

Um...

1.) AshEiji (Banana Fish), becuase I'm never not thinking about them. I still have like four unfinished fics in my notes for them.

2.) Hmmm probably Vanitas/Noe from Vanitas no Carte, because vampires! And idiots! And vampire idiots who can't deal with their emotions.

3.) The crossover ship that I just finished publishing on a03, Alice from Alice Madness Returns/P from Lies of P. I captain this ship now! They're both just incredibly interesting on their own, and together, even more interesting to explore!

FAVOURITE COLOURS: Red and Blue but apart from each other, if that makes sense.

CURRENTLY READING: I've just finished The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King; very good, very different voice for him, and very few Kingisms! I'm halfway through The Bell Jar too, but that's harder work...I also started Elle McNicoll's new book, Keedie, because I loved A Kind of Spark. (Yay, autism rep!)

CURRENTLY CONSUMING: pre-cinema Macdonalds

FIRST SHIP: Ahhhh, I have no idea?? I think the first ship I ever wrote for was Soul/Maka from Soul Eater, so maybe them?? Or the Fruits Basket crew??

PLACE OF BIRTH: Where Jane Austen was born 🤗

CURRENT LOCATION: Where Jane Austen hated living 🤗

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Want a relationship, can't deal with dating apps.

LAST MOVIE: I re-watched Penelope (2007) whilst eating the other night; it's one of my very favourites. Definitely recommend!

CURRENTLY WORKING ON: Officially I should be writing the Indiana Jones has a daughter middlegrade novel for camp nanowrimo but that's not going well lmaoo. Also working on not-AshEiji celebrity AU, and toying around with a fancylad boyprince/tough loyal knight thing that has no plot but big vibes.

(And a KawoShin fic is deffo in the works!)

ppl to tag: anyone who feels like talking about themselves! But umm @duraraross and @howtotrainyourmerlin

AMA Transcript: Soul Eater: A New Madness Consumes?

Next, @emiralnova (Ryu on Discord) stopped in to talk about her Resbang, Soul Eater: A New Madness Consumes? Here’s some of what went down:

Q: What made you think of the plot? Did you know how you were going to end it before you started writing? (I really loved the canceling out concept).

Ryu: Lolololol what is plot? I didn’t have too much of a plan going in. I had their mission sorta laid out, but after the mission I winged it. I feel that writing this was a tad difficult because I wanted to stay in canon and omg never again lol, but it was really fun and satisfying towards the end.

Q: Do you feel like your writing style grew/improved while writing? Was there anything you wish you could have included or that you cut out?

Ryu: I think I improved a little just by the act of writing, which I need to do more of, lol. And I think it was jaded who mentioned “what happened to Maka's christmas gift?” and that kinda got lost in the end, my bad lol.

Q: Do you have any favorite beta comments you’d like to share?

Ryu: Omg there was one thing that marsh said: 'Be the laxative Soul.'

Q: Was music important to your process at all, and if so, are there any songs/playlists that were relevant?

Ryu: I tend to not listen to music when I write cause it distracts me. Unless it fits the mood I need. But usually, no music.

Q: What are you most proud of in this bang?

Ryu: I think I’m really proud of what I did with the mission to the moon and rescuing Crona. Like, I had to plan out what I wanted and it was like a few days before posting, so I crunched it out. And I pulled the whole cancel out and 8 kishin horcruxes out of my ass, but it worked out.

Q: What are you working on next?

Ryu: I am working on nothing writing-related atm.

Q: Was there anything in mind that you wanted to do with the Christmas gift? :0 Like, if the notion hadn't slipped away?

Ryu:  I sorta wanted a more romantic scene to happen and it was supposed to happen before Maka collapsed. But that scene ran away from me so it didn’t work out ^^"

Q: Okay your villain was so interesting, how did you come up with that concept?

Ryu: Oh, the wizard. So like during my first Resbang, I had a dream that basically took place in Brazil at the monolith and there was a guy that was there and was speaking mysterious words to Maka, and that is sorta what I pulled on the entire first mission. His design is slightly based on that one antagonist in BNHA. Slade? Shade? I forgot his name. STAIN, HIM.

Ryu: Like his posture and hair and skin were the same. [He’s] maybe less thug and more old and evil.

Q: What's your writing process like?

Ryu: I definitely work better when I plot out my shit point by point, so if I were to deviate, it can happen but at least I had a point for the scene. And it was hard cause of laziness buttt the checkins really helped me decide what would actually happen.

Q: Is there anything you wish you could change?

Ryu: I kinda wished I had more time so that I could maybe have a better ending. I feel like the cancelling out was good for the circumstances, but it felt like cheating to me, but it largely worked out and I was ok with it.

Q: Why the amazon?

Ryu: Hmm idk. I think the guy I liked at the time was half Brazilian so I just… made it so. But it wasn’t done in the fandom yet, so I felt that Brazil was a safe place to host my mission. And I also pictured tons of trees and tropical areas. So… Brazil.

Q: Who is the Wizard? Does he have a real name? Is he actually Mabaa's brother?

Ryu: I didn’t have a real name for him. And it’s rumored but not confirmed, like I said in the fic.

Q: Do you think your view on characters changed or anything as you wrote?

Ryu: I felt like I was stretching Maka’s mindset during her fall out but it was okay? I think? Whenever I think of Maka, I tend to imagine her as like this brave, no nonsense sorta girl that wouldn't really let her emotions hold her back? At least that is what I struggled with this whole fic. But I think I did the best I could to try to make it realistic, and I think that sort of helped balance Soul out because he seemed to be the most put-together of the two. And I sorta drew my inspo from the sloth chapter from the manga to help me cement some of Maka's guilt.

Q: Did you have a fav moment in the fic. Mine is def chew toy Soul.

Ryu: Omg I love that part. I feel like my favorite part would be Crona and Maka reuniting. I think I teared up a little writing that scene. I felt guilty about Rag. Like, I wanted to save him too, but the black blood held me back.

Q: I really liked that he did the good thing in the end though. Like, he actually gave a shit.

Ryu: I struggled with that at first cause I didn't just want to get rid of him for no reason other than the blood thinning or something. I think it would've redeemed his character a little, so I was really happy with that. The ending for me somehow pulled itself together at the last minute lol.

Q: Were there any parts you had to rewrite? :0 And if so, why?

Ryu: Ughhh so the fic started with Spartoi waking up as animals??? That was the original beginning, and that was supposed to lead into the Brazil mission. But when I started to plot the story out, the story turned out much darker than I intended and so the beginning didn't fit anymore. So i had to start from scratch. At some point I wanted to rewrite first half so that the story became more linear than having the flashback, but I didn't have time for it. ^^" I did rewrite some paragraphs, but that was basic editing. I found that later, when I was in the writing process, there were some passages that were weak and long, so I cut a lot of stuff out, and rewrote them to fit the tone.

Q: Was there a scene that was your least fave to write?

Ryu: I feel like the Death Room meetings dragged me, but I had to do it. Also I have a thing where the death room is the place to spam info into dialogue. So in the future, I kinda want to deviate from the room for more nuanced info dumps

Q: I love that you dealt with witch relations and all those post canon dynamics, was that always the plan?

Ryu: i sort of wanted to play with all the things that happened after the manga happened, so it just worked out that the witches were there and I was dealing with magic/kishin stuff lol. And that Kid would need to prove himself somehow. I think Kid ended up being more of a central character than I intended, but he is a Shinigami after all lol. I wish I did more with Black Star and Tsubaki, but I have trouble writing them. ^^"

Q: What would you have done with B*S and Tsu, any ideas? :0

Ryu: Hmmm, I wish i could've used them as more plot devices instead of comic relief. Like maybe Black Star could've been more involved with... idk, something serious lololol. In which then Tsubaki would also come into play. I figured if anything, he would at least be there to give some advice and common sense in a funny way :D

Q: How did you come up with the whole cutting up Asura thing? And btw I love that it's acknowledged in fic how gruesome it is.

Ryu: Hmm I’m not sure how it happened but I knew I needed something to happen to Asura once he fell, and my instant reaction was 'cut him up into pieces.' We needed some blood in here, and the spreading it across everywhere sorta made sense as well to me. I didn't intend for it to be like 7 horcruxes, but it [was]. Whoopsss, sorry JKR lol. So yeah, it was mostly a kneejerk reaction. Because if the skin bag didn't work, well ok, let’s cut him up then lol. And he's immortal as well, so Kid had to do something!

Q: Do you think you'll do Resbang next year or any other big projects? :D It sounds like you grew and learned so much from it!

Ryu: I don’t have any active plans. I do have a few AUs on a list but they're hard affffff. Like Evangelion AU. That universe is like a trip and a half, so I don’t think I’m ready for that yet lol. In the meantime, I’m still mulling over my own OC universe I've sat on for ages. But who knows what'll happen this year. We'll see.

Thanks to Ryu for stopping by! Stay tuned for more transcripts!

Significance of “Madness” in anime

We’ve already established in other posts about significant emotions and concepts in anime or specific media before. The Significance of losing or the one of visuals and metaphors in Haikyuu!! are some of those I would love to mention here, but today we shall delve into a broader topic that goes more along the lines of Makii’s thrilling post about Danganronpa and the Significance of Despair.

Today, our topic of interest is madness.

To ease your mind, in this post we will be talking about the representation of insanity and madness in some anime characters and how that reflects on the story and ourselves as an audience.To make one thing clear, a lot of the times we see overexaggerated versions of unstable characteristics in anime that aren’t realistic.

This is in no way a discussion about actual mental illnesses and not a professional approach to analysing them to our real life standards, but maybe a start to an interesting discussion about how we portray and handle what one may colloquially call “craziness”.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s start!

Artists, and no matter for example if they write or draw, use their platforms to deliver messages in cryptic ways. As humans, we have the innate ability to look at something and consume the facts through entertainment which makes us crave new media to follow and analyse.

We love to question things instead of just taking them as they are, and that is why most writers out there will play around with the perception of their audience.

You may be familiar with the common question that ghosts through your head as you enjoy the latest episode of your favorite anime.

Why did he do that? Is she a traitor? What makes them think that way?

Although one might always do it consciously, we most definitely analyse whatever media we consume and decide for ourselves if it is important enough to keep in mind for future reference.

What the writer or founder of the anime ultimately wants from the reader is a reaction.

No matter what they intend to do with it, if they enjoy the viewer getting excited or traumatised is not of importance, but a reaction is evidently one of the goals. 

And as strong emotions always evoke an even stronger reaction, anime characters are often very idealized and have ideologies that make them want to do one particular thing.

Be it save the world or destroy it, we focus and look at these characters and root for them if they give us a reason to do so. 

Both sides of good and bad can have deeply rooted admiration drawn out of us, and it sometimes doesn’t even matter because the more interesting part is the lovely grey area in between. 

We need a balance of good and bad to enjoy both.

Empathy makes us viewers want to relate to the characters, and if the author gives us the possibility to learn why someone does something, it gets harder and harder to dislike them. That’s why tragic backstories and flashbacks are such an overused tool in anime, because with the extreme behaviour some characters show they also need equal amounts of redemption.

We attach ourselves emotionally to characters depending on our personal tastes as well.

If someone likes and relates to a strong and independent protagonist who would drop anything for the sake of justice, you will find a lot of resembling characters in shounen for example.

On the other hand, if a darker or more obsessive character manages to take over a special place in a viewer’s heart, putting them on a pedestal gets more and more interesting, because you’re not supposed to.

Contrary to that, characters with insane or dark personality traits are often very popular, again tracing this back to human instinct of emphasising with wronged characters and curiously inspecting the fully deranged ones.

As this isn't something that should be put into vague concepts, we’re instead going to look at examples of characters and entities that are seen as ‘mad’ and how they’re interpreted.

It’s not just about villains being unreasonably immoral in this post, as we look into what madness entails and how it's shown, we also have some examples of corruption to look at.

So of course there are the typical evil-thinking evil-doing villains out there. 

Some of them have an actual backstory to make them more realistic and believable, some others are just pure evil. While they are often called mad for their actions to achieve their goal, the reason why they are put into that light is the stark contrast between the protagonist and the villain.

If the protagonist loves to save people and always has a smile on his face, of course he will differ from his counterpart when he finds out that his methods are a bit more vicious.

The protagonist perceives the villain as insane most of the time, but what does the viewer think?

We seek to look not only at characters that are enjoyable to watch, but also try to find similarities between us and them or draw lines in their behavior to understand them better. As mentioned before, empathy plays a huge role here as well, since whatever happens in anime doesn't have actual repercussions, we can forgive characters more easily. 

For example when they are taken by Insanity as a side effect rather than being insane due to trauma, we often get an 'ally turned traitor' trope through hypnosis or brainwashing, which is just as interesting to look at. 

If a person did something horrible under the influence of something they had no control over, are they still to blame? 

Does Insanity only involve a separate entity that comes from evil, or are we also looking at the gradual descent into darkness when life just isn't the same anymore? 

Insane and with no fear: Soul Eater

A great example of how insanity plays with characters be they good or bad is Soul Eater. 

With a premise that one needs a sound mind and body to inhibit a sound soul, we obviously know that people close to becoming Kishin-eggs will have a rotten soul drenched in bad deeds, but what about the good guys? 

In this instance we have a lot of different types of madness and insanity that touches multiple characters at different times, and by far the most drastic would be the black blood. 

The black blood being a synthesized weapon form of blood that can change form and harden into shape, is a weapon made by Medusa and introduced for the first time with Crona. He was melded together with Ragnarök as a weapon and used the black blood in his proficient fighting style. 

Soul Eater as well as Maka and other characters later come into contact with the black blood, and the consequence of the immense strength that comes with it is debilitating madness. 

As explained in the anime, the madness makes one deny the soul of oneself and others and takes away your fear. Now with no fear present, the person exhibits extremely erratic behavior and is not scared to hurt others or themselves.

This is an insanity that shows how essential a person's fear is, shown by Maka in one of the latest episodes when she fights Asura. The fact that she learned how to accept her own fear and realise that humans need it to survive is why insanity in Soul Eater is merely a concept to differentiate between what is human and what is Kishin. 

A Kishin kills and murders with no fear of anything. 

A human protects and masters one's own fear. 

The power hungry insanity: Hunter x Hunter

In Hunter x Hunter we have a lot of characters that don't exactly fit the norm of human action. 

With people like Chrollo, Illumi and even Chimera Ants there is enough crazy to go around. 

Still, the character we shall delve into to look at a different kind of instability is none other than Hisoka Morow.

Yes, in comparison to black blood madness Hisoka is an actual human being with no known influence outside of his own intellect. The contrary to another weapon or entity making someone insane is being shown in this anime.

Hisoka is just insane. 

We have no means to see if there is anything that might have caused Hisoka to be the way that he is, but what we do know is that his character is almost too nonchalant for his own good. 

His goal is to accumulate power and fight others that he seems worthy, as that is what attracts him. No person is spared if he believes he found a worthy opponent he will make that clear to them and pursue them passionately. 

We could rule that the clown is just eccentric, but with the given information from the anime he definitely had some sort of mental difference next to his peers. Harming himself holds no problem to him, and his behavior is deeply rooted only to suit himself. He has no self-preservation except for when he needs to accomplish something, and he even enters the spiders just to get close to Chrollo. 

Now we see a single person carry themselves throughout a story only to achieve one thing: a good fight. 

After having looked at these two examples of insanity in anime, let's look at how that insanity can be portrayed visually. 

A famous way to show someone's psychosis is the “Kubrick stare”. A directorial technique that got named after the director Stanley Kubrick who used a forward tilt of the head with eyes locked onto the camera to show the actors of his movies at their peak of madness. It became a very popular stylistic device and is used still very often in modern movies.

The character is supposed to look menacing, evil-plotting and absolutely unhinged.

Such devices, if used often enough, automatically invoke the message to the viewer.

If you’ve seen the Kubrick stare once in a psychotic character, you will definitely associate it with the same derangement again.

In anime we have a similar thing, and you might be aware of this already.

Familiar with the ‘eye angle just before a character goes insane’ meme?

It’s a running gag that shows multiple characters such as Asura from Soul Eater, Pain from Naruto, Light from Deathnote and Jason from Tokyo Ghoul in a frame where you can only see their eyes and it somehow looks extremely grotesque as if they were looking into different directions with their eyes.

As much as it is a joke, it is a perfect example of something extremely similar to the Kubrick stare used in anime culture. It goes so far that if any anime watcher would see a new character look like in a frame, one would assume they were about to go crazy.

Even Oikawa Tooru from Haikyuu!! was shown with a Kubrick stare in the last moments of the second Seijoh vs. Karasuno game, when his desire to win overtook him with incredible force.

Without loss there naturally can’t be any wins, and without sadness there will be no joy in laughter.

We need the different depictions of what one might call madness, to fill our stories with nuance that relies on our reality.

Be it an unknown entity, hunger for power, lack of fear or the good old fashioned thrive for world domination.

Madness is just another part of what we call life, and to be honest in healthy doses and for effect why not enjoy it in anime?

Now, do you guys know any other characters or concepts in anime that would be worth mentioning? I would love to see them in the comments! 

Until then, stay sane!

Subclasses & Speculation...

Disclaimer: These are just my random thoughts on what other Subclasses could pop up in the future of D&D, this isn’t speculation about what’s turning up in future books or D&D materials, just a thought experiment on what people would probably love to see in the future.

Artificer: Self-Forged

Originally from 4th Edition D&D (hear me out!) the self-forged is an artificer that improves themselves by essentially becoming a cyborg, having mechanical limbs that replace the character’s normal limbs and allow them to do a multitude of things.

When I was reading this my first thought was “how far is a character willing to push this?” and “well now I can be Robo-cop!” 

But I think it’s definitely something that works well with the idea of the Artificer, using magic to create devices and objects that improve where your body might fail.

Barbarian: Path of the Wildrunner

Another from 4th Edition, the Wildrunner was cool because it focused on mobility, even at one point being able to walk on pretty much anything or even fly. I know certain aspects of this have been done in other Subclasses, but a quick and mobile (and possibly more dexterity based) Barbarian is something that peaks my interest!

Barbarian: Path of the Man-Eater

For Barbarian, I think a Subclass that digs a little more into the brutality of the Barbarian would be cool, for example the famous "cannibal" subclass concept has floated around for a while in various incarnations.

Whether it’s a bloodhound of a Barbarian able to track down their pray, or a Barbarian that quite literally rips and tears and consumes corpses while raging, I love the concept, and it allows the writers and rule-makers to get a little weird with it, which is the best thing a writer can do!

Bard: College of Colour, College of Rhythm & College of Mimicry

One thing I’ll always want is a Bard that doesn't explicitly sing, like a Dancer or Painter Bard would be a great way of showing that Bard can mean almost any kind of entertainer or performer.

Another one was the College of Mimicry as I’ve called it, a Mime Bard! Not only because it’s a guaranteed laugh, but it’s full of flavour too!

Cleric: Love, Luck, Madness & Travel Domain

Listen, Clerics can be a lot of things, and it’s time to get weird, but also cover the domains that I think would be the coolest.

The Love, Luck and Travel Domains have been extremely popular ideas, and the Madness Domain will inevitably make for some interesting Characters, NPCs and Villains.

Druid: Circle of Cities

Why is there still no “Urban Druid”? It confuses me.

The idea of a druid that can bend and warp buildings or just make walls is such a cool idea, plus who wouldn’t wanna be a trash druid living in the sewers of a city or the back-alleys of a fantasy metropolis?

Fighter: Whirling Devish & Dragon Knight

Now the Whirling Dervish Archetype can be described as essentially “dance-fighting”, so the College of Sword may already cover that, but a whirlwind of blades and attacks is still a cool idea to me.

The Dragon Knight on the other hand is one of those ideas that’s so popular in media, I’m surprised it hasn’t popped up already.

A Knight with the ability to fly, breathe fire, grow wings, or even a “Dragoon” type subclass for all those people that just love their references to other media.

Monk: Way of the [Insert Popular Anime Here]

For Monk, pick an anime, literally any fighting anime and you can make a monk subclass from it. Done!

Rogue: Acrobat

This is another one that I don’t understand why it’s not already a thing.

The Thief-Acrobat was and still is famous from the D&D Cartoon and one of the first things people think of when they think D&D is that old cartoon, so why not turn that into a real thing?

Sorcerer: Cosmic Soul, Fey Soul & Woeful Soul

For the Sorcerer, I think a Fey Bloodline could be very interesting, considering the amount of different Elves and Half-Elves populating the game and the amount of influence places like the Feywild and Shadowfell has.

Plus, since there’s already a Shadowfell Sorcerer, why not give the Feywild some love? Huh?

And since we have almost every creature type covered already, from the Aberrant Sorcerer to the Dragon Sorcerer to the Celestial Sorcerer, I think a Fiend Sorcerer could be interesting too, which I’ve dubbed the “Woeful Soul”.

And before you comment, the Divine Soul Sorcerer, despite allowing you to be associated with “Evil”, does explicitly say that you are ‘Blessed’ and your blood most likely comes from an angel or celestial, be it a Good Angel or Fallen Angel.

And then I threw in the Cosmic Soul from 4e, because why not, it’s cool, it’s weird, and I think it’s just fun enough to be it’s own thing without stepping on anyone’s toes.

Warlock: Dragon Patron

Another one that I think should’ve probably been part of the Game already, but I can see why not. 

Having a Dragon Patron Warlock could mean stepping on the toes of the Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer, but I think at this point, with Dragons being known for being such powerful entities, why wouldn’t you work for one?

Wizard: Blood Magus

Blood Magic! Something I think is also pretty popular in the homebrew community, and is even popular with Mr. Mercer himself judging by the use of it in the Blood Hunter Class.

This is another one that can go so many ways, but the trope of using your own vitality to empower your magic is something I think a good writer can capture in a “Blood Magus” style Subclass really well.

Other Stuff

This is where I throw my random ideas out there, like new ideas for races or feats or that kind of thing. 

Races: One idea was the famous “Thri-Kreen” Race, I don’t really know why it was the first thing to pop in my head but I think they could totally be put into a campaign book, for an official setting or just a fun nod to other D&D resources.

Feats: For Feats It’s mostly stuff that deals with “Inconveniences”.

For example a Feat that removes Sunlight Sensitivity, since for some reason a Drow that’s lived on the Surface for 200+ Years somehow still can’t handle a sunny day.

Now I know that the supposed “Lineage System” coming out in November 2020 is supposed to tackles  “Inconveniences” like this, but we’ll have to wait and see.

[the-hellsing-organisation]

Hellsing Soul Eater AU idea...

Lord Death (Abraham Hellsing) and his assembly of meisters and death weapons have to take on a new organization of witches - the Millennium Coven, which seeks to unleash Madness on the world.

Featuring...

Integra Hellsing: top-tier meister, and only one with a strong enough soul wavelength to wield Lord Death's most powerful death scythe, Alucard. Daughter of Lord Death.

Alucard: one of the most powerful death scythes/weapons to have ever been created. Said to be created by a witch; Lord Death himself had to restrain and bind the weapon in order to prevent it from going on a destructive rampage throughout the world. Does not require a meister and is capable of self-wielding. Has several abilities and said to have consumed thousands (possibly millions) of witches souls. Suffers bouts of Madness, which can be kept at bay with soul resonance with his meister, Integra

Seras Victoria: meister, still learning, but moving up in the ranks. Lots of untapped potential. Has been recruited along with her weapon Pip to help with the Millennium Coven.

Pip Bernadotte: lower level death weapon (let's assume he's some sort of modified guillotine cuz he's French) to Seras Victoria. He's getting better though, and is determined to become a fully fledged death scythe.

Walter Dornez: retired top-tier meister, wields death weapon (idk, an OC that could personify his crazy diamond wires). Comes out of retirement to aid with the Millennium Coven.

Alexander Andersen: second most powerful death weapon, also capable of self-wielding. HUGE rivalry with Alucard. Kinda unhinged.

Enrico Maxwell: top-tier meister, rival of Integra. Deeply resents her and the "favoritism" she gets from Lord Death and hates that she's next in line to take over after Lord Death's passing. He's technically Andersen's meister, but he rarely needs to weird him. (He's gonna pull a Justin Law and betray everyone)

Heinkle Wolfe: meister, wields death weapon guns (idk, OCs)

Yumie: meister, wields death weapon katana (again, OC)

The Millennium Coven pretty much consists of the Millennium players. Basically everyone would be a witch (warlock?) Except we keep Hans and Scho werewolves.

[darkestdawnhq]

FABIAN PREWETT is a 25 year old PUREBLOOD, a former GRYFFINDOR, and an UNEMPLOYED who is an ORDER MEMBER and uses HE/HIM pronouns. They are categorized as CODE FIVE. They are currently CLOSED.

Firewhiskey around the fire and forcing yourself to keep laughing | Half of your entire soul and self is gone with him | Leather boots caked with mud | Your whole world is gone so having nothing to left to lose | The smell of oranges and cinnamon | Your words sound quieter without your echo

HISTORY.

Fabian came into the world the same way he intended to leave it: with a bang. Poor Carl and Margaret Prewett were unprepared for their new twin boys in more ways than one. From the start, Fabian was curious and adventurous with the constant glint of mischief in his eye. Where Gideon went, Fabian would follow, and likewise. Never saw one without the other, and if you did, it was time to start worrying because it meant something was surely afoot.

If things ever got too quiet, the boys had likely attached themselves to their older sister, Molly. His earliest memories of his sister was her teaching them some silly dance she had made to go along with one of their father’s records. Of course, there was always the times when Fabian and Gideon were making their sister mad with taunts and jokes and a prank gone too far.

Even at Hogwarts, the twins were together. Two Gryffindors. The professors had been expecting sweet, quiet little boys, because surely anyone raised in the same household as Molly would turn out as well. What they got instead was a seven year long migraine, if not from the actual antics but from the Howlers echoing in the Great Hall. Fabian thrived in both the social and educational environment, putting his interests in the study of magical creatures - especially dragons. His plans would change over time, however, as the war loomed closer and he put his cards with the Order alongside his brother.

Fabian would almost say he had been good at the war. He was quick on his feet, impulsive but not reckless, and took many of the younger members under his wing, always there to offer a comforting word or a cheeky comment when they needed it. Because if Fabian was still smiling, things couldn’t be that bad, right?

That was, until he’d lost Gideon. The night is both a blur and incredibly lucid in his mind. Smoke and shadows and spells cast every which way, his brother shoving him to one side almost laughing at his carelessness and then the laugh fell short and Fabian felt the heavy weight of his brother careening into him. He’d been dead before Fabian had even managed to lower him to the ground, clutching his hand. He didn’t know when he’d started screaming but once he’d began he didn’t know how to stop. Even now it feels like that scream is still going inside his head.

Now with the war over, Fabian was even more alone. All that really mattered now was keeping Molly, Arthur, and the children safe. If that meant he couldn’t see them, maybe it was better. He wasn’t sure he could keep looking Molly in the eye after he had failed so miserably at keeping Gideon out of harm’s way. He knew the one thing he could do for his sister was to keep fighting until she and her children would be safe in this world. All he could do now was begin to regather his strength.

CONNECTIONS.

MOLLY WEASLEY: Sister. Though Gideon was the other half of his everything, both brothers still loved and defended their sister fiercely. They both understood when she and Arthur started to pull away from being involved in the Order to keep their growing family safe. He was the one who encouraged Molly to do so. And now after the death of Gideon, Fabian stands by this decision more than ever. She has to be safe, her family has to be safe. He’s already half dead, there’s no hope for him and he doesn’t care that he’s a wanted criminal now. He’ll go down fighting and he’ll make sure Molly  is safe.

MARCUS MCKINNON: Friend. Their friendship bloomed during the early years of the war though it seems so very long ago. Marcus was a good man and a good wizard, Fabian had been glad to have him by their side on the missions and against the Death Eaters. But loss has touched both of them now, he lost his sister and Fabian lost his twin. When everything fell apart, Fabian took to running when they were made. He barely saw Marcus but knows he’s trying to survive under the radar and keep the fight going. If they can keep good people still willing to fight out in the field without being made, Fabian will do whatever is necessary to keep the attention away from them and on himself as an easy target. Whatever is needed to keep the fight going.

CORBAN YAXLEY: Enemy. The battle was messy and grief has clouded those moments before he held his brother’s dying body, but Fabian thinks that Corban was the one who fired the spell that killed Gideon. Others aren’t sure when asked, they don’t remember in the heat of the battle, but Fabian is certain it’s him. He has a burning hatred of the wizard, one that consumes him every waking moment of his life. If he were ever to come face to face with the Death Eater, he’d make sure he would pay for what he did. Truth be told, even if it wasn’t Corban, Fabian just wants a single person to blame. Someone he could get his revenge on. 

MARY MACDONALD: Friend. He thinks he sees her now more than he did when they fought a war together. She’s stubborn, fiery, and hopeful, all the things he feels he isn’t at the moment. He’s not sure why she insists on visiting, force feeding him, trying to make him smile when all he wants is to lay in bed until the noises stop. He doesn’t kick her out, though, and some part of him is worried that even she may give up on him in the end.

The happiest moment

FanFiction.net.    AO3

-Snape- I drop the memory into the Pensieve, watching as the magic falls in tendrils, waiting. I’ve gone over this scene more times than I can count, but it’s important. I need to keep it fresh so that I can use it. It’s a familiar torture, a rabbit hole of what ifs, that takes an eternity of climb out of. I’m still crawling my way up.

We’re outside, books piled high on the side of us, and Lily is laughing at something I said. I’m not really the funny type, but Lily thinks I am. I painfully wish others found me as engaging as she did, but then again, I’m unsure if I’d want to spend time with anyone but her. I’m glad she finds my quip amusing; her eyes shine when she’s happy, even if they crinkle and disappear a bit from her smile. Even this I find endearing.

James and his band of thugs are there again, and ready to taunt their favorite past time. I’m not sure what I’ve done to get on their bad side, but the distaste is mutual. I can’t stand how arrogant Potter is, and thankfully, Lily is of the same mind. She’s not usually one to take such a hard stance against someone, but she seems to have made an exception for Potters troop. A small part of me believes it’s because of me.

I hate Potter for many reasons, but his ability to interfere when Lily and I are together is paramount. He’s always intruding on us, throwing insults my way, disturbing us no matter the time or place. Im starting to find that his presence is almost expected if I’m with her. It’s almost as if I’m the afterthought in his horrid visits. My mind moves to a dark place as I wonder if it’s really Lily he’s interested in.

I’m ready to face him, grasping for my wand, but Lily is three steps ahead of me, as usual. She’s pointing her wand with a steady hand, eyes narrowed in a way that I’m sure she thinks looks more menacing than it actually does. He holds his hands up in mock surrender, some asinine comments slipping between his teeth. He smirks, and he’s just looking at her. Lupin reminds Potter that practice starts soon, and the crew turns on their heels to head towards the field. As they walk off, Lily purses her lips together, trying to contain her anger. She whips towards me, asking if I can believe the nerve of them. She tells me they put her house to shame, she has half a mind to march straight to Dumbledore’s office and demand he takes action.

I tell Lily not to waste her breath, that people like Potter don’t deserve her attention, but she is silently fuming from the injustice. I never feel that it’s pity, she has too much respect for me than to do that; she’s angered that her friend was wronged, and I want to kiss her.

“You’re pretty when you’re angry,” I say. The words tumble out before I can stop them and I watch as her eyelashes flutter against her reddening cheeks. When others compliment her, she smiles, wide and all teeth, but when it comes from me, it seems shy, like it’s a secret smile just for her and It’s enough to stir Hope in my belly.

She’s smiling, and the sun is shining and I’ve taken this moment for granted a thousand times before. Not now though, not when she glances up at me, biting her lip to try and contain her happiness. One wouldn’t think she’s shy, this headstrong Gryffindor, but then again, most people don’t know her as well as I do.

“Only when I’m angry?” She asks, lifting her chin with confidence.

“All the time, really,” I say, as I shrug my shoulders, a gesture of confidence i certainly don’t feel. “But especially when you’re mad.”

Her brows shoot up at my admission, and her lip is back between her teeth. For a moment, I worry I’ve gone too far, pushed the boundary of our friendship too much. But I don’t want a friendship, I want to consume her. In my brooding, I don’t even realize she has stepped towards me, only when her hands settle on my shoulders and she places a quick and delicate kiss on my cheek does my brain seem to kick into gear. Quickly, far too for me to even react, she spins around, sitting back on the grass and opening a book.

“Now then,” she begins, and she’s refusing to make eye contact with me, and I’m nothing but smiles. “If we don’t finish this assignment we’re going to spend all weekend in the library. And I don’t particularly like to torture myself on my days off, Severus.” She finally looks my way, and I’m sure my heart has stopped, or maybe started beating double. It’s hard to tell when she smiles like that. “Besides, you promised to take me to Hogsmead. You still owe me a new sugar quill.” She points her finger at me for good measure.

I sit down beside her and nod. If we finish now, that means we’ll have more time together. I want to talk about the kiss, want to pull her to my chest and give her a proper one, but I can wait. We have time.

I raise myself from the Pensieve, gripping the stone edge. It jars me, even all these years later, what a fool I was. I thought there would be time, never thought I would act out the way I did. I want so badly to go back, to earn her attention again. My eyes begin to sting, and I screw them tight to stop the tears. In three short days from that time, I lose her. I don’t need the Pensieve for this memory. It’s ingrained in my soul.

I know what words are about to come out of my mouth. I know that when I say them, she never forgives me. I’m disgusted with myself even as the name slips off my tongue that day, but I’m too angry to stop. I’m angry at potter, for looking at her like she’s his, angry at his friends, for riling him up, taking their turns. Angry at Lily, that she’s always by my side, there to witness it. Angry at myself for being such an outsider that I’m a target.

It doesn’t matter how much I apologize. Days go by, and I beg and I plead, but she won’t answer me. The silent treatment from her might be worse than the cruciatus curse. I wait and I hope, but the damage is done, and I lose her. As our distance grows, I gain the attention of my fellow Slytherins, notably happy that I’m no longer associating with a Mudblood. Lily detests these people, those drawn to the dark arts. All the while I’m with them, I silently beg her to look at me, look at me, look at me. I’d leave them behind, if she’d ask.

But she doesn’t. Lily could have received an Outstanding in avoiding me. Occasionally, she would catch my eye, and Id hope, just for that minute. I want to apologize again, but I can see I’ve hurt her too deeply.

She befriends potter of all people, the brute easily taking my place as she marries him the moment we graduate and it eats away at my soul. The rest of the story spins before me, but at night, alone with my thoughts, I’m allowed to change the past.

I bite my tongue that day. Instead of spitting venom at the girl I love, I fire it at those who deserve it. I finally tell someone about Potter and his trio of brutes, and they’re threatened with expulsion, leaving Lily and I alone. I take her to Hogsmead that weekend, and I kiss her the way I’d been dreaming of for years. I never join the Death Eaters, instead taking up the Orders side. I have to protect her, my muggle-born wife. I can so clearly picture a small home for us, walls lined with books, a room for her to perfect potions, and a little girl that has her eyes.

My happiest moments are ones I never got to live.
