*sticks one arm out from under my rock, slips this into the tag, and retreats back under my rock* Inspired by the cass apocalyptic series by somerandomdudelmao It's a very very cool rottmnt fancomic and you should give it a read đđđ„ș (Not canon but you might recognize some parts/dialogue from the comic) [warning for implied/referenced past infant death but no actual infant death (the boy is fine dw), infected wounds, amputation, and a dog like creature biting someone]
The first time Casey Jr almost dies he's about three months old, by their best guess, and he's only been Casey Jr for a week.
Cassandra and Raph go out on a supply run, which is normal. They come back with a baby in a box, which is not.
Fortunately or unfortunately, there's no such thing as government or paperwork in the apocalypse. So there's nothing stopping Cassandra from saying âI found him in an alley so he's my son now, his name is Cassandra Jr.â And that's that.
Thankfully, this isn't the resistance's first baby so there's plenty of formula and hand me downs to supply Cassandra in her sudden status as a Mom. And everything else the family quickly supplies.
Donnie is very uninterested in babysitting the oozy crotch goblin but Casey Jr's crib still has the genius built logo and built in laser security system to prove he cares in his own way.
Mikey breaks into his carefully rationed paint supply to paint a small mural above the crib and takes every chance to babysit he can.
And Raph? Well Raph dives headfirst into the roll of co-parent slash halway blockade.
Then there's Leo.
In his own words, he has a whole resistance to babysit. And besides that thereâs not much he can really do other than what heâs already doing.
Fight the krang, stop the war, give little Casey Jr a better world to grow up in. And also avoid everyoneâs efforts to get him to hold the baby.
He is not cut out for tasks that require a delicate touch but it seems like heâs the only one who understands that. Heâs a gigantic mutant ninja turtle who, unlike his brothers, has never had any kind of hobby that requires any kind of delicacy. So he hangs back, he keeps an eye out for things that will be useful to the Caseys while heâs out on the surface, and he waves away attempts to hand Jr to him.
And then Casey Jr gets sick.
It should be fine. Should be normal. Babies are delicate little things, getting sick is a thing they do. Except thereâs not much the way of medicine in the apocalypse. And babies are delicate.
It starts as a low grade fever. By the end of the day itâs a raging bonfire. They have a lot of things but medicine is in short supply. Nothing they have is working. Itâs just Casey Jr, sobbing his heart out on Raphâs shoulder while Cassandra hovers and Raph tries to soothe all three of them.
Thereâs nothing Leo can do to help. They donât have the medicine they need to treat the fever. At least not something safe to use on a baby. Raph is the one who remembers how Dad used to use lukewarm baths to break their fevers when they were little and he was still too scared to try human medicine on them. It helps enough that they can get some formula into the kid. But itâs not fixing things.
Two days pass and the fever refuses to break. The baths are becoming less and less helpful. After the third refused feeding attempt that afternoon Donnie slams down a map of âareas most likely to contain useful information or materials for treating a sick baby.â
Leo and Mikey gear up and head out leaving Donnie to monitor things back at base while April takes charge of running everything else so that Raph is free to help Cassandra take care of Jr.
Itâs bad luck, really, that a pack of krang dogs find their camp on the first night. It should be fine. They should be able to handle it.
But bad luck is bad luck.
Leo sees movement out of the corner of his eye. He moves to dodge and the ground underneath him decides now is a perfect time to give way.
âLEO!â Mikey yells as Leo tumbles away into the dark.
Leo grunts, biting back a scream as the Krang dogâs teeth sink into his arm. They tumble into the dark together, bouncing down the stacks of rubble. Itâs dead by the time he lands but the damage is done. Â
The good news is that the fall kept the dog from getting a good grip on him. Â
The bad news is that even if the bite wonât infect him with Krang regular infections are different story. Krang zombies have foul mouths.
Mikey canât find out it managed to bite Leo. If he does heâll want to go back and get Leo treatment before they look for the medicine.
And right now every second could mean the difference between getting medicine to Casey Jr in time or adding to their graveyard.
So Leo makes sure that by the time Mikey makes it down to him his first aid kit is a good bit lighter and any sign of the bite is hidden beneath his normal arm wraps.
When Mikey finds him Leo smiles and doesnât hesitate to wrap both arms around his little brother.
âAre you okay- did it bite you?â Mikey asks, darting around him to hunt down every last scrape.
âNah, just a couple of scratches,â Leo lies. âLet me heal them-â âNo, weâve got a ways to go, I won't risk you wearing yourself out too soon.â âLeo!â âI already used my first aid supplies on them! Itâd be a waste if you healed me now!â Mikey glares at him but huffs and nods. âFine! But if they start to feel bad-â âIâll tell you, donât worry,â Leo lies again.
Day two is a bust. There's useful supplies in the area Donnie marked out for them to search, sure, but nothing that will help  Casey Jr. Or the sensation of a burn throbbing its way up Leo's hidden bite wound.
Leo and Mikey mark out where the useful things are and keep going. Someone can go back for them when they're less pressed for time.
That night Leo waits for Mikey to fall asleep before he checks the bite. It's bad.
The moment the bandages come off he's gagging at the putrid stink of infection. It's hard to see it in the dark but then again he's not sure he really wants a better look. It wouldn't change his mind anyway.
He can make out the dark veins of infection spreading. If he wasn't green it'd certainly be a violent red.
He cleans it, spreads a thin layer of disinfectant cream that will do about as much good as throwing a cup of water at a bonfire, and re-bandages it.
His usual arm wraps go up over top of it, hopefully Mikey won't notice he's done them a bit higher than normal.
All the evidence goes into the fire. By the time Mikey's turn to take watch comes all that's left is ash.
On day three Leo wakes up feeling like someone dropped a building on him. He makes the mistake of groaning about it.
âLeo? Are you okay?â Mikey asks. âYeah, yeah Iâm fine. I just, uh, I think Iâm inheriting Dadâs back problems! That or the Krang made the ground harder.â Mikey snickers. âI mean, they would, but Iâm also pretty sure you just called yourself old.â âI did not!â Leo drags himself upright and makes a show of cracking his back. It obliges with a satisfyingly loud pop that makes Mikey giggle harder. âI think your spine disagrees with you too.â âShut up!â âAwwww are you feeling cranky, old man?âÂ
Leo is too exhausted to feel properly offended or even think of forming a comeback but he plays it up for his little brother anyway.
Anything to keep him from worrying. Or forcing them to turn back. Itâs fine. This shouldnât take too much longer anyway.
Itâs midday by the time they reach the second site. Just from a glance itâs obvious this is a more promising site. There are actual chunks of buildings scattered around and thereâs enough of a shattered sign left lying around to tell them that whatever kind of care this place used to give it was geared specifically towards children.
Thereâs plenty to find digging through the rubble. Well. Plenty for Mikey to find. Leo is mostly trying not to let on how dizzy he is.
To both of their frustration, they run out of daylight before they find anything. Leo can feel his body screaming at him to lay down and rest. Just a little longer, he tells his body. Theyâre going to find the medicine. He can feel it. Leo just needs to make it at least that long.
The fourth day dawns. Mikey shakes him awake as soon as thereâs enough light ot see by. Leo bites back a moan as he claws his way upright. Leo thought his arm hurt before but now it feels like someone is pouring lava down it.
He notes with a calmness that boarders on absurdity that he canât feel his fingers.
Something must show on his face- or maybe he just looks at least halfway as awful as he feels- because Mikey frowns at him when he wakes up.
âIâm worried,â Leo blurts out. âIf this takes much longer then- I donât think- heâs already been sick for so long.â âWeâll find it. Today, Iâm sure. Iâve got a good feeling.â Leo tries to smile for him and hopes the shaky thing he offers up is enough. Well. At least one of them is feeling good.
Leo is lucky. Heâs always been lucky. Luck runs out eventually, it always does. But not today. Maybe it helps that Leo isnât hoping for something for nothing. Because on day four they strike gold.
Mikey is a short bit away, digging through the rubble with his power, hunting for anything with even the chance of helping. Leo is doubled over just out of his site, trying to stifle his stomachâs efforts to rebel against him.
Donât hurl, he tells himself, if you hurl thereâs no way Mikey wonât realize something is wrong.
He forces his eyes open, hoping that focusing on something will help. And then Leoâs eyes fall on a shattered glass cabinet, several packs of some something promisingly adorned in cartoon human children. He reaches in, flips it, and feels a wash of relief when he realizes itâs exactly what theyâre looking for.
âMikey- Mikey look-â everything fuzzes, tumbles. Thereâs something under him. He blinks back blurs of color, tries to resolve them into something coherent. Mikeyâs face hovers over him, mouth moving. He looks upset. âWhat's the matter?â he tries to ask. âLeo! Leo, are you sick? What hurts?â âArm,â Leo answers without thinking.
Oh shit. Oh shit heâs not supposed to let Mikey know. But itâs a little late for that. At least the panic clears his head a little. Mikey makes a wounded sound in the back of his throat as he uncovers the bite.
âLeo.â âYeah, I know. Sorry⊠sorry for lying.â He watches Mikeyâs lip wobble until Mikey catches it in his teeth. âLeo this is bad! We- I donât know if we have the supplies to treat this!â Leo hums. Now that the panic is fading itâs getting so much harder to think. He lifts his good hand before he can forget and flops it over towards Mikey. âSâokay. We can go back now.â Mikey takes the box of medicine with shaky fingers. âLeo,â he croaks.
Mikey is talking. Something⊠probably important? He looks scared but theyâre not under attack. Heâs pretty sure theyâre not. Leo tries to focus on him anyway but itâs so hard. Heâs so tired.
Heâs been tired but there was no resting, not properly, not until they got what they needed. They do now so itâs fine, he can rest his eyes a bit.
Good. Seeing is hard too. Just blurs and colors.
He feels Mikeyâs hand on his face, his voice in his ears. He tries to pay attention but heâs slipping, sliding away.
âSorry,â he mumbles, but heâs out before he can think of what, specifically, heâs sorry for.
Leo doesnât remember the trip back, just the thud of Mikey landing. Someone screaming. A hand squeezing his. Small. Thin fingers. Lots of them.
âApril?â he might mumble. He thinks. âShhh, rest big guy,â Probably-April says. âDonnie has it. Heâs gonna fix it.â Oh. Thatâs good. He lets himself sink, lets her hold him together while he waits for Donnie to do what Donnie does best.
A light in his face. âAm I dying?â he says. Thinks? Someone hisses. Angry sound. Who does that again? âNot if I have anything to say about it. And I have a lot to say about it.â Oh. Donnie is here. Thatâs good. Didnât someone say he was coming? âNow go to sleep, you donât want to be awake for this part.â Leo doesnât get a chance to answer, heâs already sinking again.
Leo blinks up at the ceiling of Donnieâs lab. He spends a good while just staring at it, trying to get his brain to work. His arm throbs. âOw.â
Some several things crash and shatter and then Donnie''s face hovers into view. âHow do you feel- nauseous? any pain, aches, fever? Chills?â âUh, my arm hurts a little?â
âWhich one? The one that got bit by one of the most disease ridden things in the apocalypse and then went four days without medical care or the other one?â âHey I did some medical care!â âYou did FIRST AID. You know, the thing you do to help someone before you get them ACTUAL MEDICAL CARE.â
Leo winces. Thereâs no arguing about that one. âOk well, I was hoping weâd find the medicine and get back before it got too bad.â âWell. You didnât.â âYeah, I guess. How long was I out?â he asks. He tries to lift his arm but he canât feel it move. He frowns. âIt⊠barely hurts anymore. Uh. Donnie? I canât- Um. Donnie. I canât feel my arm.â
Donnieâs face twitches. Leo tries to turn his head to look at his arm. Donnieâs hand darts out out to stop him. Leo looks at Donnie again. Donnie looks away, grimacing and refusing to make eye contact.
âDonnie-â âDonât look yet.â Leo tries to move his arm again but thereâs still no response. No itâs not just that there isnât a response. He can't even feel the weight of it.
He can feel his shoulder. He can feel a ring of throbbing pain a few inches above his elbow. And then itâs just⊠light? Like thereâs nothing but air- oh. Oh. Okay then. Thereâs where his luck ran out. â...Huh. Thatâs. Hm. Let me see?â âLeo-â âDonnie. Let me see.â Reluctantly, Donnie eases back.
For a second Leo doesnât do anything. He closes his eyes and breathes. He turns his head. He opens his eyes.
Itâs gone.
Everything past his first crescent marking is gone.
He closes his eyes and takes a deep, measured, breath. Okay, he thinks. Okay. Heâs a medic. He knew this was a possibility. Donnie starts eyeing him nervously.
âDid he make it?â Leo asks at last. â...Yeah he made it,â Donnie says quietly. Leo feels like he's fully breathing out for the first time since Cassandra burst into the infirmary with a sick baby in her arms. "Good. That's good." Donnie puts his hand over the end of Leo's nub, covering the scar. He stares at the floor and says nothing. Silence reigns. Leo stares up at the ceiling, letting it settle around them.
Until the door slams open and the rest of his family tumble through the door, both Caseys included.
The last knot of tension loosens from him at the sight of Casey Jr, happily wiggling in his momâs arms as he flails his arms at Raph.
He tears his eyes away as his family gathers around him, worried and loud, and Leo only knows one way to calm them down.
âSo. Iâm guessing I'm the opposite of... All Right now, huh?â Cassandra covers Casey Jr's ears. Donnie leans away, inhaling sharply. âWhy are you like this?â he asks. âBecause it's all I've got... Leftâ Raph groans, hiding his face in his hands. âAlready?â âPut him back under,â April says, deadpan. âBoooo,â Mikey says, and Leo pretends he doesnât sound two steps away from tears.  âI hate you so much,â Donnie lies, a few screens manifesting around him. He taps away with the hand that isn't still covering the scar on what remains of Leo's arm while Leo laughs at his own terrible jokes.
âYou no longer have a choice about getting a prosthetic. Mikey tried to say I had to ask before implanting experimental technology in your body but you know what? Iâm making an executive decision. I canât live with the puns.â
Leo starts laughing harder, so hard that it circles right back around to sobbing. Heâs buried in a pile before the first sob can even fully leave him. Donnieâs eyes stay on the screen even as he shifts his hand to Leoâs shoulder and squeezes. âIâll fix it. Donât worry.â
Leo spends a lot of time sleeping but heâs never alone when he wakes up.
Thereâs Raph, showing off the balls heâs threading onto his mask tails so Casey Jr can climb them while Cassandra sits nearby, once more restitching her perpetually tearing sleeves on her shirts.
He wakes to Mikey making little fish or birds dance in the air while Casey Jr sits in his lap and reaches for them.
Or thereâs April pouring over battle plans with a mug in one hand and the other wrapped around Casey Jr.
Point is thereâs a lot of Casey Jr. So Leo really should be prepared to wake up with a tiny weight on his chest, healthy and safe and sound. And still so very tiny. His breath hitches, he doesnât dare move.
âBemused scoff.â
Leo carefully turns his head toward where Donnie is busily typing away at something.
âYou know you canât avoid holding him forever. Even I've held him." Leo gives Donnie the flattest look he can manage. Sure. Donnie has held Casey Jr. Once in a blue moon when there was literally no one else to do it (and Leo's hands were firmly tucked under his arms.) For about sixty seconds total. "...I've held him more than you have.â
Leo grimaces. âLook, I wasnât cut out for holding delicate stuff when I had two arms. Itâs an even worse idea now that Iâm twice as likely to drop him.â
âInvalid excuse. Iâm already working on a solution to your arm situation.â Donnie waves his hands and his ninpo sparks, building a blue print of an arm and some other thing hovering in the air between them.
âThese are the schematics for a bio-mechanical arm and a socket implant to allow it to safely interface with your nero-â Leoâs brain glazes over the rest of Donnieâs explanation.
â...So you want to turn me into a kick ass cyborg?â he asks as soon as Donnie is done. âDid you listen to none of what I just said?â âCâmon, Don, Iâve got you for all the nerd stuff.â âExasperated sigh, yes Iâm turning you into a kick ass cyborg.â âSweet,â Leo says, yawning. Donnie huffs. âGo back to sleep, Nardo.â âCanât, baby could fall,â Leo mumbles. âI wonât let him fall. Just rest.â And Leo trusts his brother. So he does.
It takes a frustratingly long time for Leo to recover enough for the surgery to implant the port for the arm in his stump. Itâs more low profile than he expected, hardly noticeable at all unless youâre looking head on at it.
Then thereâs a whole other saga of learning how to use the arm Donnie has built him. Itâs clunkier than Donnieâs preferred standards but it works almost as seamless as his real one. He gets good with it and he gets good with it fast because with the Krang you either do it fast or you donât do it all.
The unintended and unwanted side effect of this is that now his family are no longer accepting âIâm not good enough with my arm I might drop himâ as a valid excuse to not hold Casey Jr.
And they are very, very, intent on getting him to hold Casey Jr.
Look. Leo is thanking sweet pizza supreme in the sky and every one of the Hamato ancestors, Casey Jr bounces back from being sick like it never happened.
He bounces and wiggles, he babbles and giggles, as though less than a week or so ago he wasnât so sick that Leo and his family (literally) risked life and limb to get him medicine. And Leo is thrilled. Really.
Itâs just that he wishes his family would stop encouraging Casey Jrâs newest favorite game- trying to grab Leo. Because apparently one of any babyâs favorite thing is whatever they canât have.
âHere! Hold him!â Mikey holds Casey out so that he faces Leo. Casey Jr, who seems to have a sixth sense for when someone is playing the 'try to get Casey close enough to touch Leo' game, Â is thrilled. His tiny arms wave at Leo, itty-bitty fingers clenching like theyâre ready to latch on the second theyâre close enough to touch him.
âW-wait, I canât!â Leo protests for the thousandth time. But Mikey isnât taking no for an answer this time. A nudge of mystic power keeps Leo from fleeing. All Leo can do is tuck his dangerous un-baby proofed metal arm away from tender baby skin and wave his flesh hand pleadingly.
âCâmon Leo⊠you have to hold him eventually.â  Mikey cajoles, gently waggling Casey Jr.
âNot happening, no way.â Leo leans back as far as Mikeyâs powers will let him.
âYes way,â Mikey says, holding Casey closer and closer. Casey is giggling furiously, tiny arms flying at top speed.
âDo you even see how tiny he is?â Leo points at the baby, just in case Mikey needs a reminder. âI could break him with one finger!â Thereâs a tiny nudge to said finger. Leo looks down. Casey Jr is copying him, nudging Leoâs much larger finger with his own.
Mikey gets a look on his face. A terrible, evil, look.
âOne finger? Like thiiiiis one?â Mikey grins as he lifts his middle fingers away from Casey Jrâs body. Leo freezes. âMikey. Mikey no.â
âWhats that? Oh nooooo.... I canât hear you over the sound of my grip slipping!â Mikey sing-songs. âDonât you dare!â Leo stares at him, horrified and frozen. He wonât. Surely he wonât. Cassandra would murder him. Raph would double murder him. He wouldn't. Right? Right??? âOh no! I hope someone catches the poor delicate baby!â And then Mikey drops Casey Jr.
Leo shrieks. He forgets that Mikey is literally magic and does not need his hands to hold a building, much less a baby.
âMikey what the fuck!â Leo squawks, hands flying forward and closing around the tiny delicate bundle that is- ⊠not falling towards the ground at all actually.
The gears turn, the realization that he's been tricked sets in. Leo glares at Mikey. Mikey grins, unrepentant, and waves his faintly glowing hands, a glow also present around a perfectly safe Casey Jr. The glow vanishes and Leo feels the surprisingly greater weight of the baby properly in his hands for the first time.
âAhhhh Mikey- Mikey take him back!â Mikey stubbornly keeps his hands in the air and backs away, still grinning. âYouâre fine, youâve got this.â âI donât have this!â in spite of saying this Leo is already tucking Casey closer to him. âItâs fiiinnne, you're doing fine! Look, heâs having a great time!â
Tiny clumsy fingers hit his jaw, drawing his eyes down. Casey Jr has one hand buried in Leoâs scarf. The other is pressed to the highest part of Leoâs face it can reach. As he looks down they stretch up, reaching for the vibrant red markings on his face.
âAh- what- what does he want?â âAwww he likes your stripes, hold him higher!â
Hesitantly, Leo shifts the baby a little higher in his arms and Caseyâs little fingers smack against his markings, clenching against them as best the pudgy little things can. Leo chuckles. âWhat? You want those? Hate to break it to you bud but theyâre kind of attached to me.â Big dark eyes lock onto his. Casey Jr babbles. His little fingers flex against Leoâs face again.
Someone makes a noise like a slowly deflating balloon. Leo looks up to find Raph has found them. Heâs standing in the doorway, his eyes shining with unshed tears.
âPlease tell me Donnie has a good angle on this,â he says, voice wobbling. Raphâs com clicks on and switches itself to speaker mode. âSending you the best shots as I speak,â says Donnieâs voice. âI hate all of you,â Leo lies. Mikey snickers at him, Raph is too busy cooing to reply. And then Casey Jr realizes Raph is there and decides heâs done being held by Leo. He leans his entire body toward Raph and puts all of his tiny baby might into wiggling free of Leo's grip.
âOh fuck-â âDonât cuss in front of the baby!â âRaph. Raph.â âYouâre doing fine, relax-â âHeâs gonna fall! Iâm gonna drop him- Raph!â Raph easily scoops Casey Jr up, saving Leo from the terrifying force of a wiggly baby.
Casey Jr giggles and grabs for Raphâs mask tails while Leo dramatically flops to the floor. Mikey continues to snicker at Leoâs expense, floating over to pat his head.
âI canât believe you pretended to drop him just to trick me into holding him,â Leo groans. âYou what?â Raphâs head snaps over to them. Mikey freezes. âI had mystic hands on him the whole time!â âBaby holding is a two hand activity!â âYou literally hold him with one hand!â âRaphâs hand is big enough to count as two!â âOh that is so not fair!â â... Leo watch the little man for a minute.â Raph sets Casey Jr down by Leoâs head. Leo makes an inarticulate sound of horror but before he can protest Raph is already bolting for Mikey.
Mikey flees with a yelp. Â Â Leo looks at Casey Jr. Casey Jr looks at him. âSo, you come here often?â Casey Jr stuffs his fist in his mouth and makes a garbled noise around it, almost recognizable as a very turtle like chirp. Leo checks that his brothers are out of ear shot and then chirps back. Casey Jrâs eyes widen and sparkle. He takes his damp hand out of his mouth and smacks Leo in the face with it. Leo grimaces. âThanks.â In the distance, Mikey screams as Raph catches him but it's just as quickly followed by laughter.
Casey Junior grows up in between loss and stolen joy and forgotten childhood memories. He gets old enough to ask questions. Inevitably, the day comes when he asks âSensei, how did you lose your arm?â
And Leo lies.
Or, well⊠He doesnât lie so much as he just⊠leaves out some details. Details Casey Jr does not and will not ever know if Leo gets his way.
âAh, you know⊠Krang dog got a lucky bite in. By the time I got back to base it was the arm or me and Donnie chose me.â He says it with a light little shrug, like itâs no big deal. Â
Because for Leo, itâs not a big deal. Between losing an arm and losing family heâd chose the arm over and over again.

The last few people had logged off the server, leaving it in its burnt, damaged state.
She knew where Gem would be.
Cleo scaled up the ladder and clambered up to the rickety roof of Joelâs tower â where you could look out on the entire server.
Sure enough, Gem was perched on the railing, sitting on the edge with nothing to support her but the wind, staring in the direction of the Secret Keeper.
Cleo looked around at the short cobble walls. Grian had told her that heâd hid away here. Not a bad strategy, overall. You could shut yourself here and forget everywhere else existed.
âHey, Cleo.â
âAm I that loud?â Cleo joked weakly.
âWho else?â
Cleo watched as the last remains of the green flesh flaked off Gemâs skin, leaving her regular human tones. âNo more zombies now, then? Good job, anyway. Killing people left and right.â
âNot you, though.â
âNot me. Only way Iâm going out is my way. Iâd rather die on my own stupidity than someone elseâs callousness.â Cleo allowed a hint of pride to enter her voice. âYou were great zombies, though.â
âWe werenât zombies.â Gem turned and hopped down from the railing.
Cleo noticed that unlike the other zombies, or even Scott or Grian, Gem didnât have a single scratch or injury, save one neat bandage that no doubt was due to Scarâs reckless arrows.
Which meant the blood splattering her face wasnât her own. âWhat do you mean?â
âThatâs not how zombies work. No offence, Cleo, but most zombies arenât sentient.â
Cleo blinked. âNo worries, I know they arenât. I kill plenty of them at night.â
âSo you should know how they work. Theyâre mindless. They lurch along, they kill without thinking, they probably bump into trees.â
Gem tilted her head. âThey donât set TNT traps, or betray their teammates, or ask for permission to kill their wifeâs perceived murderer.â
Cleoâs mouth was dry. âSo youâre sayingâŠâ
âIâm saying the apocalypse wasnât zombies, Cleo. It was human.â
Horribly, incredibly human.
Cleo remembered when they were up on the tower, staring at the others down below, condemning them as monsters.
Somehow, it was better to think of them as a mindless horde and not people sheâd been laughing and arguing with a session ago.
Gem was watching her. âYou know Iâm right. Look at Pearl. Was running from us, convinced we were infected or something but once she realised she had permission to kill, she went in. Even unleashed a warden, or two. Thatâs how quickly we switch.â
Ironically, Cleo realised, the roles had been swapped this session. The humans were chasing the zombie, but it hadnât been any different.
âThatâs not true,â Cleo said, âItâs not all bad. Did you know, Grian snuck down from this tower to check on his magma pet, and I was there too. And so was Etho. He didnât kill us.â
Irritation flashed across Gemâs face. âHe didnât kill you? If he had, or, like, told us your location or something, we couldâve all just gone after Scott, and, and, the task wouldâve succeededâŠâ
She trailed off, and looked at Cleo. âIs that the point youâre trying to make here?â
Cleo shrugged.
âAlright, I get it,â Gem grumbled, âNo need to rub your holier-than-thou alliance and great morals in my face.â
âWell, no one asked you to put your task over your bandmates.â
Gem didnât say anything to that.
âItâs not as if Iâm exactly a paragon of morality either.â Cleo continued.
âI guess not.â Gem gave a short laugh. âNeither am I. You know, all the murder and stuff? I donât feel bad! In fact, I feel great. I feel proud of myself for it.â
ââŠI feel you should be a little less bloodthirsty.â
Gem smiled at Cleo, an innocent, cheerful smile that would have been such if not for the circumstances. âOh, no.â
Cleo was suddenly feeling very unsafe on the highest platform on the server. She wished Etho was here, or even Grian.
She knew Gem couldnât take any lives, not now, not when the session was already over. But stillâŠ
Cleo raised her sword to stop the axe swing that came, but it was a feint, and her sword hit nothing.
Gem dramatically swung her axe back into her inventory.
âYou really thought I would attack you?â Gem said.
âI donât see why you wouldnât,â Cleo retorted curtly.
âThatâs true,â Gem conceded. âBut the curse is just so- itâs so freeing, Cleo? Canât you see? You could do anything.â
âUh- no thanks. Sessionâs over, anyway,â Cleo pointed out.
âThatâs true. But Iâm still kinda cursed, you know.â
In response, Cleo warily raised her sword. But all that Gem did was deliver a mock salute before logging off with a chirpy âSee you next week!â
Cleo stood silently. There had been one zombie on the platform just now. Her.
And thinking about it, she wasnât sure if there hadnât been two.
#concept: gem is simply evil#god forbid women do anything#oh no this story turned into that are humans good/evil thing again#thatâs great i donât care#geminitay#zombiecleo#gem centric but i did put in some cleo stuff because etho sparing his allies was so woahwhaha#secret life fanfic#secret life#secret life smp#life series#trafficblr

My lips. Your lips. Apocalypse.
Warnings: my shit writing, violence (kinda?)
part 2
I will be the first person to say it. School is boring. And that is a lot since Nevermore is no ordinary school. The only class that is interesting, yet exhausting, is this one. Mrs Smith is sitting across from me. Staring intensely in my eyes, trying to find the weak spot in my mental shield. We have been at it for hours and I have managed to preserve my resolve. Until now. She finally breaks in.
"So what is it about you? You seem quite ordinary to be going to that school." The cute Barnstaple across from me asks. He has nice brown hair that curls at his ears. Deep thoughtful eyes. He is mundane or better yet, ordinary, as he called me. He is perfect. But something about him screams certain danger. Tyler, Tyler Galpin, whom I have come to know as my best friend. My dreamy best friend, who I moon over day and night and constantly plagues my thoughts.
"That is top secret agent type of shit, you can not know" I answered him with a chuckle.
The memory soon fades, as fast as it appeared. I feel my shoulders sag from exhaustion and I try to find sense in the safety of my magical pendant. The one that keeps others at bay while also containing my powers. The one that keeps me safe not only from others but also from myself. Mind control is not easy stuff, you have to be hyperfocus. Do you want to control something or someone? You have to draw all your willpower and pour it into that task. Which is tough shit. Making someone forget or simply reading their thoughts or memories, even manipulating them is now as natural as breathing. Shielding yourself from others with the same powers is the hardest. There aren't many of us but we are more powerful than anyone else. So if you slip up, you are vulnerable to the world.
You know what they say. With great power comes great responsibility.
My ears are ringing. My mind is reeling. Each breath I take feels like hell. They are uneven, torturous and slow
"Drink this" I feel a cold water bottle touch my bottom lip. I drink the offered water greedily. My vision from hazy slowly starts turning itself clear and I can make out my surroundings again. "Better?" I nod and wait for the lecture to start. "So your shield lasted over two hours. You are strong, you know that, but you can not let yourself get lost in your daydreams. Especially when we are practising ".
"Yeah I know, I know" I heave, still trying to stabilize my breathing.
"Go rest"
I get up slowly. Unsteady on my feet and wandering through the halls while feeling my way in the walls, trailing my fingertips in the cold stoned wall. I enter my dorm and change out of my uniform. Putting on a white oversized shirt, half buttoned and collapsing in my bed.
The hours pass as I am in a half-awake state. Being aware of the room around me, but my organism turns to its usual state. And so I dream. I dream of him. What it would be like to kiss. What it would be like to date.
I am startled awake as my roommate slams the door behind her wake. Wednesday in her usual lack of colour stops in the middle of the room and sharply looks at me. "Good, you are awake".
I sigh rolling my eyes "What do you want?"
"I am going to the house I was telling you about. I might need your help."
"Why?"
"Because you are useful."
"Jee thanks. It feels good to be appreciated. "
The sun has finally set and we walk towards the school's entrance door, where a familiar Jeep awaits. Tyler, he is here. Enid and Wednesday are wearing their matching hoodie scarf things, as usual, I am left out. As usual, Wednesday climbs in the passenger seat, my seat, and Tyler doesn't say a word about that, instead, he flirts with her. He doesn't even greet me or ask about my day, as he used to.
I silently seeth as we arrive at what looks like a haunted manor. We break in and we start wandering through the house trying to find evidence. At some point, we are separated. As I walk into what looks like an old girl's bedroom, I feel a presence behind me, the hair on my neck standing as I grab the nearest object ready to attack.
Yet a strong hand shoots out and stops my blow easily. "Hey there. Be careful, Rockey, you wouldn't want to hit me, now would you?" The breath is knocked out of me. The moonlight hits him just right, highlighting his features, the soft smile, the high cheekbones and sharp jawline. His laughing face turns into one of confusion. He opens his mouth ready to ask me something, when a strange sound echoes through the room.
He grabs me and flushes me to his chest. He places his hand to my mouth and I feel my heart race. I can feel every plain of his body against mine. His defined chest rises and falls in a crazy rhythm, and his hands hold me in place with urgency. We must stay like this for a few seconds or mere minutes but it feels like hours as I try to catalog his characteristics.
"I will go check, it must have been the girls, please stay here."
"What? No, I am coming with you."
"Please." He uses that voice. The one he knows that can convince me to do anything.
So I stay put. Until I see a light shining into the forest. I find myself following it. Threading through the trees and the fallen leaves. Someone moves just out of sight. A knife is thrown my way and I drop to the ground. The figure stalks towards me and as I think that I am doomed. The Hyde makes its appearance, attacking what I assumed to be a man, tiring him to shreds. After it's done it turns my way, snuffing the air as I am frozen in place, terrified to the bone.
The sound of bones breaking fills the air as the monster in front of me turns into a ⊠boy? A familiar one. He is covered in blood and unconscious. I make a quick decision and drag him towards his house, cleaning him up in his bathtub and stitching up the scratch wound on his pecs. Tyler is the Hyde. The Hyde is Tyler. They are one and the same.
I am watching him, studying him while he sleeps. He looks so peaceful yet troubled. I creep towards his father's room and find some handcuffs, thank you Sheriff Galpin, and tie him up in his headboard, waiting till he awakes.
words: 1.154 (there will be a pt.2.... propably?)

Renegade!Fell/Edge
Info post about the au
(If characters seem OOC ((Out Of Character)) it's beacause I'm going off of my own interpretations/headcanons/fandom versions. So please be aware of that)
More info under the cut (Info is subject to change at any time. Info may be added to as well)
-Jobs in the group: building upkeep, storage management Â
Weapons of choice: bones that come up from the ground/walls, gaster blaster (larger than the others blasters), throwing knives
-Head canon voice: ???
-Uses he/him, doesnât mind other pronouns.Â
-His coat was a gift from his Frisk. Will barely go anywhere without it. (Fell!)Frisk is a kid who belongs to someone he knows, basically became an uncle to them, since he babysat them so often.Â
-Has a bit of an attitude and is very quick to go on the aggressive/defensive. But once someone actually takes the time to actually get to know him heâs protective, loyal and good humor to have around.  Â
-Had his tooth knocked out in a bar fight. But if anyone asks about it he makes up some random story on how he lost it instead, more so just to entertain himself.
-Had a youtube channel that he started as a joke where he narrated horror stories, it got pretty big but he stopped posting over time due to not finding any more stories he felt like reading. He was going to get back into doing it, but the apocalypse happened.Â
-Swears often, though tries not to swear around people who have asked him not to swear. So long as that person had asked him nicely.Â
-Doesnât mind wearing any sort of jewelry, providing itâs gold, doesnât like any gems on it, just pure gold jewelry and heâll wear it.Â
-He is often in charge of fixing things around the living area and just general upkeep on the buildings. Finds this relaxing since most of the others wonât question why heâs there or what he's doing, can just say he's doing his job. Will often pretend to look busy in a quiet corner of the living area so no one bothers him.Â
-Hates not having clothes fully cover his arms/legs, just feels uncomfortable so will always wear things to cover his arms/legs. To add to this he also doesnât really like clothing with zippers, since he's normally too rough with the zippers and they end up breaking.Â
-Struggles to express things through words, so often expresses things via touch, either that be to show violence or to show kindness. E.g. punching someone, or lightly putting a hand on someone's shoulder. Â
-One of the more misunderstood people in the group, since his attitude is what keeps most away from fully getting to know him.Â
-Likes things with fluff, hence why he has clothing with fluff on them. Doesnât just extend to clothing, but other things such as animals and items, just likes how soft fur feels.Â
-Is the type of guy to say whatever is on his mind, doesnât tend to think of the consequences of saying it. He isnât too worried about upsetting people, unless it's someone he likes.Â
-Will bite if anyone puts limbs too close to his mouth. Only people he likes can get away with it but if theyâre doing it to annoy him he will still bite them.Â
-Doesnât really leave the living area, since he doesnât want to fight Wraiths. Heâd much rather be lazy and chill in the living area doing basic tasks. Â
-Despite him having storage management as a job he mainly leaves the storage room for Error to sort out, him mainly focusing on getting objects to the storage room in the first place, or getting equipment that wasnât returned.Â
-Hates when things are a mess, or unorganized, it just bothers him so much, will go out of his way to sort things out if itâs something he's going to be seeing often, e.g. a room heâs in a lot.Â
-Tends to often hang out with Sci when he has free time, often helping Sci out or just keeping the space where Sci works clean.Â
-Has several stress balls, and other things such as fidget cubes, always carries at least one of these things on him, normally for himself, but he will hand it to someone else if he sees they may need it more than him at that moment.Â
-Type of guy to mind his own business, if something is happening, he will watch from the sideline. Heâs not getting involved, nor will he talk to anyone about what went down, unless heâs bothered enough about the situation is the only time he will talk.Â
How they feel about:
Nightmare: Doesnât really get along with Night, but also feels like an asshole whenever heâs mean to Night, as Night always remains polite to him. So just tries to stay out of Nightâs way most of the time.
Dream: Likes Dream, theyâve also asked him not to swear as much when theyâre around, which Fell abides by. Dream often helps him when he needs it so heâs willing to do anything Dream asks of him back.
Cross: Got into an argument once with Cross, sure Cross apologized to him later on, but heâs still somewhat salty about it. But other than that he can somewhat get along with Cross.
Blue: They got along somewhat decently, though they get into arguments on the regular. Blue doesnât really put up with his attitude. He does respect Blue a great deal though due to the fact Blue wonât take any of his bs.
Ink: Is unsure of Ink. Knows Ink can be really nice and does appreciate whenever Ink is chilled out. But doesnât appreciate any pranks Ink may pull on him.
Dust: Doesnât really like him too much, given he's a murderer and the fact he just canât make heads or tails about what Dust is thinking or feeling, it freaks him out to no end, especially with the fact Dust will be around Night as well, normally staring him down when he has to talk to Night.
Horror: They donât tend to interact too much. Doesnât really have a proper opinion of him, only tends to see him whenever he goes to the storage room. Has noticed that Horror seems to forget interactions that theyâve had.
Killer: Very similar feelings to Dust that he has for Killer. He canât make heads or tails of Killer. Also knows Killer tends to act like an idiot to get reactions or to have others not question him.
Error: Sort of gets along with Error, knows to just stay out of his way mostly, despite them both having storage management as a job itâs Error who does most of the work in the storage room, leaving him (Fell) to do all the storage related tasks outside the storage room.
Lust: Likes Lust, one of the few people he runs into in the storage room that he can get along with. Though he doesnât talk to Lust much but likes how patient they are with him, Fell feels Lust actually took time to understand his personality with the limited interactions theyâve had.
Geno: Will hang out with Geno somewhat regularly, normally run into each other when Fell is trying to avoid doing his job by sitting in a quiet corner of the living area, which Geno will join him wanting to avoid his job too.
Outer: Often goes around the living areas with Outer so they can talk and do tasks at the same time. They get along well. Outer often telling him about anything interesting heâs heard from the others.
Sci: Gets along well with him, spends most of his time hanging out with Sci. Often chatting with each other, he tends to keep Sciâs workspace clean, as well as making sure Sci takes care of himself. Tends to keep others from bothering Sci as well, trying not to let any work pile up for Sci.
Reaper/Death: Sees him somewhat regular, whenever Geno comes to hang out with him. Thinks Reaper is chill, knows Reaper is just there to do his job but still holds a light grudge on the fact heâs there to kill Geno.
Fresh: Not seen him before.
Gans/Echo: Uses the radio room to hide from his job sometimes, so tends to talk with Echo whenever heâs there, they get along well and have somewhat similar views on things.Â
Chief: The one who normally catches him trying to avoid his job. Sometimes Chief pretends he doesnât see him when Chief knows heâs in a bad mood, which he really appreciates Chief doing. So when Chief does tell him to get back to work he normally does.

Phasmophobia Stream VOD.
Description: "Are you sure it's a [insert ghost type here]?" "Yes! Trust me!" Results:Ghost is not what anyone chose.
---------------------
The video switches between POV, because the original stream had a "Swap to this POV" feature. So the editors (the Purple Dragons) were paid extra for how long it took to edit this together. Possible upload of the all four POV later.
++++++++++++
"Okay we've ruled out 2/3 of the list, have most of our photos done. So do we have any guesses before we do some tests?" Donnie says as they get ready to do a candle test, double checking that the crucifix was still good.
Mikey who's stayed in the truck the entire time checking the cameras, "I think I saw an orb, but the camera got moved before I could check." Replies while also checking the task board, "We still need to 'Cleanse the area of the ghost' also."
Leo who was searching for the bone that they still needed a picture of, asked "Which camera? Because I don't think we moved any of them. And has anyone found the bone we need the money!"
"Oh, it's labeled Headcam 3! So someone needs to go back into the ghost room so I can check!" Mikey shouts into the radio. He's been forgetting that they were all in the same room, just distanced to help with the effect of the game.
"I think that's my head camera thing, just a sec." Raph says, he hadn't moved to much because he'd almost broke his controller during an event where the ghost appeared right in his face, but he also wanted to not just be sitting there the entire round.
"WE HAVE A MIMIC!!!" Mikey yells out into the room, scaring or startling everyone else. "Choose Mimic, get to the truck, and let's get out of this asylum!"
"Mandarin we still need to finish that task, find the bone, and get 3 more pictures for a perfect game. So call down. You've been in the truck the entire time so why are you complaining?!" Leo says with quite a bit of sarcasm, right as he finds the bone, so he snaps a pic, picks up the bone, then zooms back to where the others were.
Right before
10 Minutes later the results read Mimic, and they all go up a level or two.
<><><><><><><>
"Alright, so are we going to do the weekly challenge, or a custom challenge now?" Leo asks they just wander around the lobby with the clipboard that had the challenges on it.
Mikey was attempting to make the blacklight land straight up.
Donnie was looking through the custom challenge menu selections.
And Raph was playing with the games up the stairs. He was mostly playing with them to stop any potential physical fights, which while unlikely could still happen.
"The weekly challenge is basically a no evidence run, with the teir 3 equipment, but we also have no sanity or sanity medicine." Donnie informed everyone, "And it's in the Jail."
Mikey let out a groan. He hasn't liked the big maps since he got lost in the full asylum map, while being hunted by a Banshee.
"So Weekly Challenge it is!!" Leo announced.
"Just be glad we're not doing an Apocalypse challenge M. You still owe me for helping you with that by the way!" Donnie says turning to where Mikey was dramatically slouching in his chair.
================
The next three runs where shortened down, but all had the argument of what the ghost was. Only for Raph to somehow guess the ghost correctly, while everyone else got it wrong.
Then a run where Mikey was suddenly the only one alive, and the twins wouldn't let him leave without getting the ghost right. So what followed was a lot of dramatic screaming and hiding from Mikey.
"Mandarin you need to get out of that hiding spot if you want to get out of there alive."
"Then you get over here, and get me out!" Mikey shouts.
So the round was finally ended with Leo on Mikeys screen because he was too freaked out to move.
"So we sure it's a Morai?"
"I am Not going back in to check!!"
Results: Yokai
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They eventually all complete the challenge, and decide to call it a night.
Though before the end of the video there's a series of clips of Leo screaming his head off while running from a ghost while Donnie is calmly circling a kitchen island, labeled Blue playing Phasmophobia for the first time.

Welcome in fellas let me tell you why q!Bad and Crowley are so similar because I want to and because they are and you can't stop me.
[undercut â]
Now, we'll start at the first episode of season 2, where we see Crowley before he fell. Before the Beginning. It seems that he is tasked with making the universe where Earth is going to be planted which is a big deal honestly. How does that fit with Bad? Well, we can only guess this but with a throne with angel wings behind it and a halo like chandelier above it we can assume Bad has a higher archy angel. Not exactly an archangel but close to it (or maybe a archangel who's to say but time). Now I'm not saying Crowley was one but being tasked with the creation of the universe where Earth was going to be? Pretty big deal that I would say only a higher archy angel would have. But that information is still to be confirmed.
Now the Garden of Eden, 4004 BC. Of course Bad isn't going to meet an angel at the wall that goes around the garden and he actually arrived in 960 BC, way before 4004 BC and blah blah blah. BUT I want to point out a few lines Crowley says to Aziraphale; "I can't see what's so bad about knowing the difference between good and evil anyway" and "It'd be funny if we both got it wrong, if I did the good thing and you did the bad one". We've all mentioned how Bad chooses to be kind despite being a demon. That it's funny that he's doing good even though he's an entity that's defined as evil and dangerous. Which, yes, he is evil and dangerous but not always. The line is also supported by a good amount of actions Crowley does within the show; not killing the goats nor kids, helping Aziraphale, trying to help Maggie and Nina, etc. But he's not necessarily NICE. He only chooses to be nice from time to time. Especially with Aziraphale, someone he considers close. Just like Bad. He's only nice to those close to him and he choses to be kind to others if he wants to. He's literally known as the islands babysitter and someone you can trust. He has experienced almost everything that has happened on the island since the start.
Now let's go to Mesopotamia, 3004 BC. Noah's Arc before the flood. Crowley finds out that God had gotten angry and planned to wipe out most of the human population. Including the kids (actually one's + baby goats). Crowley, despite being an entity of evil and this being in his lots range, it's too much for even God to do. The Federation being as messed up as it is, them kidnapping their children, doing experiments on these babies, and everything else is something way out of Bad's demonic morals. He's a entity of chaos and even this is too much. For Heavens sake, even MOUSE, the Queen of Hell, finds it all too much. Too much for a demon. A war that'll end Earth. A Federation and an Island filled with horrors and chaos.
2008-ish, 11 years before the war between Heaven and Hell, the apocalypse, Crowley is assigned to deliver the antichrist. Himself. He's all for the war, but him delivering it and realizing that it's actually going to happen is another thing. Bad is all for chaos, pranks, spying, and lieing but when it comes to doing that stuff for the Federation that doesn't benefit the Island but just them, that's something else. That is something he doesn't want to do, ever. He checks every task he's given or others are given to make sure it's nothing.
And another thing. Atlantis. Bad, upon his arrival, was part of a historical event that we can confirm as the sinking of Atlantis. Killing off everyone he loved. He's haunted by it, a reason for his paranoia. Crowley was the one who had to deliver the antichrist, being the reason why Earth might've ended, a guilt throughout the years before the end times were to happen.
Now, the following will be during the week when Armageddon is to happen. The end of the world:
"I didn't mean to fall, I just hanged around the wrong people" WHEN I TELL YOU I LOVE THIS LINE. And it fits q!Bad soooooo well. "I didn't mean to fall" HE DIDN'T MEAN TO FALL. Many members have mentioned how nice Bad is, and within the story when you think about it, it shows that Bad is kind in his way. He didn't mean to be a demon. If anything, he tries to hide that fact and that he was extremely dangerous that he sunk a city once and killed everyone he ever loved. During and after the acceptance stage, Bad has given in into his messed morals and demonic nature a bit more. He had to ACCEPT his demonic nature after so long of holding that guilt of being something that killed everyone he cared for. While he still does hide the fact he's a demon, he acts more like it now. "I didn't mean to fall".
And I don't mean that q!Bad never loved having power of destruction, as if he wouldn't be gossiping with the witches during the salem witch trials knowing one of them is going to die and praying on one of their deaths. But he never destroyed, he never did anything BIG. It's only small pranks and he usually leaves a present after. He now, he's testing, he's becoming more risky, more dangerous. He didn't mean to fall but he certainly doesn't want to be an angel again if he can't have as much fun as he's having.
"But evil always contains the seeds of it's own destruction" No matter how well crafted Bad's disguise is, the seed of his destruction he made is marked on that universe. While this line isn't really directly about Crowley nor did he say it, it is directed to Hell as a whole. No matter how well made their plan for the apocalypse, for the antichrist to be delivered to the right person, to have Hell win, there's always going to be something against them. Something from their plan. And in this case, it's Bad against himself.
"I'm a demon, I'm not nice. I'm never nice, nice is a four letter word" Now, we know Bad is kind and from times admits it. But he most usually says he's hardcore, not nice. That he literally has bad in his name. However, as mentioned, the islanders see him as a nice guy despite the chaos he would sometimes cause. Crowley said the line because Aziraphale said that Crowley had some kindness deep down inside him and by God if that isn't Bad. Might've taken a bit during his first years but he's nice deep down, just more dangerous and crazy the deeper you go.
Also, 6 years before the world is supposed to end, Crowley dresses up as a Nani, and Bad's the Islands babysitter. I don't know how much more proof you need ÂŻâ \â _â (â ăâ )â _â /â ÂŻ
Okay thanks for reading o/
#I WANTED to add more but the post felt long enough soooooo if there's more from season 1 I'll add it through a reblog#and then I'll watch season 2 and see if I can get any other comparisons :P#also as always please correct me with anything (wording - character - etc.)#this took so long but it was worth it bye o/#qsmp#badboyhalo#qsmp badboyhalo#erm yeah nah I won't tag it but this is also about Crowley from Good Omens!! :D#stars messages#â cause I don't wanna lose this

head in my hands (<- she is thinking about the dreamcatcher dystopia and apocalypse trilogies)
with dystopia it's like. (scream) the world is so full of hatred and vitriol and every time i am reminded of it, it seeps further and further into my veins and i'm worried it may consume me. the witch hunts are constant and ever worsening, and all that ever comes from them is more contempt and more regret. what is this poisonous masquerade all for. does anyone else hear this, i'm calling out to you, i'm begging for relief and for catharsis. i need this to reach you, i need you to hear the cries of the people who are suffering. i'm shouting alongside them. (boca) do you speak to your mother with that mouth. would she be proud of the things that you're saying. look around you - the angels are dying and the casualties grow with every spiteful word. sometimes kindness starts with silence when all you want is to fight fire with fire. my heart is pierced for you again and again, and i don't know how much longer it can be like this. i want to help you, i want to let you breathe again and give you relief from the harsh words that have strangled your lungs. i want to make this world better, and i want it to start with us. (odd eye) the world is broken, this is not a fairytale. utopia has never existed and it never will. do not believe the sugarcoated lie of perfection because it is impossible to grasp. the world is dark and you will not find what you're looking for if eternal peace is what you seek. open your eyes to reality, and you will make it a better place - not by dreaming, but by doing what you can.
and then with apocalypse it's like. (maison) our home is dying, our planet is dying, our people are dying, but i feel so detached from it all. i need to come down to earth, i need to keep pushing for change in every way that matters. your conscience is drying faster than the droughts plaguing our land, don't you see that we need to do something about this. please someone fight for us - the task is enormous and the stakes are daunting, and i'm coming down to rescue you but i can't do it alone. you have to help save yourself. (vision) the world is a scorched-earth battlefield and we are its foot-soldiers. we must press on and fight now that we've come this far. everything is painted in shades of moral gray, but we must act decisively. i am reaching for your hand in the trenches, i am sending a message to you, i am giving you a vision. do you copy, have you clasped my soot-stained hand. the work is hard, but we must reload and keep going. join us and fight alongside us. i am not asking, i am not begging - there is no time for either. ([reason] i am with you always, in war and peace, in hatred and in love. you are why i fight. i have spent years being beaten down, and you have, too, but it is your companionship that buoys me, brightens my darkness, makes this world worth it all. you are my reason. don't let me stop fighting.) (bon voyage) we have fought the good fight together, my friend. the war wages onward, but our assignments have changed, and we must part ways. i will carry every lesson you have taught me within me. the battlefield lies fallow until the footprints recede. the flowers are starting to bloom again and the colors are coming into focus. a part of me will always be drawn to you even as i leave you, even when you are long gone. travel well, my friend. may our battles not be in vain and may we both find rest. i hope i will see your face in peacetime.
#i have a normal amount of thoughts about music i promise#and this is WITH a language barrier i can't even fathom how much more feral their discography would make me if i was fluent#anyway um. they popped off so hard with their recent trilogies and they did it so well. thank you leez and ollounder thank you deukae#anyway um. go listen to dreamcatcher if you like sick instrumentals and tolerate kpop even a little bit.#scream boca odd eye maison vision and bon voyage you are all so special to me. perhaps doubly so for reason#also for the dndads folks in the audience their sound is so gothweeb to me. btw#yeah if you like video game soundtracks and anime osts and vaguely horror flavored things. them#also if you like pretty women as well. probably goes without saying since theyâre a kpop group but they are very pretty#music#dreamcatcher#happi rambles#hi mutuals i bet you weren't expecting a kpop post from me today. or ever. i'm full of surprises to the point where i surprise even myself

Whumptober Day 16: Wound Cleaning
A continuation of days 7, 13, 14, and 15.
<><><><><><><><><><>
Felps was in the infirmary, getting looked at by someone with far cleaner hands than Cellbit. His small conversation with Roier was cut short by one on their stomachs growling loudly. Whose it was, neither was sure. Both were absolutely starving after their excursion and their bags of food were starting to feel heavier and heavier the more they stopped to chat. Cellbit beckoned for Roier to follow him and brought him to the building in which they kept most of their food.Â
âIt didnât start out this nice, but itâs getting to be pretty solidâ Cellbit explained to him as he unloaded a few cans from his bag. âWe even managed to get a fridge working in the other room. Maybe we can fix up something niceâÂ
Roier nodded from where heâd sat on the floor. Cellbit hadnât noticed it before, but now that he thought about it, Roier hadnât had his backpack on his back just about the entire time theyâd been together. He watched the other slightly as he gingerly moved one or two cans at a time. âNo matter what, itâs probably better than how Iâve been eating. Nutrients sound like a delicacyâ He let out a giggle as he pulled a box of rice from his bag.Â
Cellbit nodded as he finished unpacking his own bag and sat down to help out Roier. At the rate he was going, they had another hour until theyâd actually be able to eat, and Cellbit wasnât convinced he could actually wait that much longer. âIf you have any requests Iâm sure we might be able to get you a proper meal?â He offered. Surprisingly, the apocalypse had only kickstarted his cooking ability. Heâd gone from burning pasta to cooking for his friends, which even he hadnât expected.Â
Roier nodded and looked over at him with a smile. âIâd like to see what you can come up with. Maybe you can prove to me that that big brain of yours actually works,âÂ
Cellbit flicked his shoulder. âIt does work, assholeâ He smiled a bit despite his words. How lucky was he really that the stranger heâd found was handsome, had some weird superpower, and a huge flirt? Was there anything about him that wasnât perfect?Â
âThat door said otherwise- Did you even try to open it or did you just punch through it?âÂ
Cellbitâs silence gave him all the answers he needed. Roier giggled again and shook his head. Finally, they put back the last of the food theyâd gathered. Cellbit stood and offered Roier a hand to pull himself up. Initially, he reached up for it with his right hand before switching to his left. It was more awkward, and didnât seem to help him as much as the other would have, which Cellbit found odd. He shrugged it off and just helped the man to his feet.Â
Two two actually had a rather nice meal together, once it was all made. He probably wouldnât be admitting it anytime soon, but heâd really tried his best to make something nice for the other. He wondered if maybe it was just out of pity for his prior situation, but he was almost certain there was something else there too. Something he certainly wasnât going to admit after knowing a man for less than 24 hours. That would be ridiculous.Â
All through dinner, Cellbit carefully eyed Roier. Part of it was for his own enjoyment, but the other was because he couldnât help but feel something was off. One can only watch someone else struggle with seemingly basic tasks for so long before they suspect something was up. It all came down to that damned shoulder. Cellbit hadnât patted his back that hard yesterday, right? And now he was clearly babying that arm, too.Â
The sun was starting to set again and the two were heading back to one of the buildings that the camp had designated for housing. Roier still lugged his empty backpack around by the straps, refusing to put it on. Cell got the door for him and shut it tightly behind them in some attempt to keep out the cold. He might not have minded cuddling back up with Roier, but it wasnât something he was going to try and trick him into.Â
Cellbit dropped his backpack next to the small collection of his things on the ground of âhisâ room, and Roier put his down right next to it. Cellbit smiled a bit at this as he removed his respirator. Roier sat down on the floor and stretched, though careful to avoid pulling that shoulder too much.Â
âWhatâs the deal with you and that shoulder?â He asked, finally deciding it was better just to get it done.Â
âItâs nothing, donât worry about itâ Roier shrugged him off.Â
There was a slight pause. âDo you usually sleep on your stomach?âÂ
Roier shook his head. Cellbit had figured as much.Â
âWill you let me look at it for you? Maybe we can get it fixed?âÂ
Roier thought it over for a moment. âYouâll be gentle with me, right?âÂ
âOf course I will. Come on, letâs get you feeling betterâÂ
Roier turned his back to Cellbit and hissed as he pulled off his shirt. Cellbit sat down behind him and tried not to make a face as Roier exposed a nasty gash that went over his shoulder. Dust and dirt mingled with the dried blood and Cellbit couldnât help but feel sorry for the man.Â
âWe need to get this cleaned out, you wait here for me-â Cellbit got up and went to wet a rag for him. He returned quickly and took his seat once more. âThis might sting a little, but you need to stay relaxed for me, alright?âÂ
Roier nodded and hissed as the wet cloth touched his wound. He tensed for only a moment before making himself relax again. Cellbit brought his other hand to rest on Roierâs bicep as he worked, and Roier only further relaxed at the gentle touch.Â
âYouâre lucky you probably wonât need stitches, then Iâd have to turn you over to the medical tent too,â He hummed and finished what he was doing. âI try to keep some things up here though. They come in handyâÂ
âIâm sure they do,â Roier nodded again with a hum. âWhy are you doing all this for me?âÂ
Cellbit shrugged and pulled a roll of bandages from his bag before remembering Roier couldnât see him. âI couldnât tell you, really.â
âWell thank you. Really, I mean itâ He lifted his arm slightly as Cellbit began to wrap him up.Â
âItâs nothing, donât worry about itâ He pat Roierâs arm as he finished wrapping him. âBe careful with it, but that should help you out plentyâÂ
Roier turned to face him and smiled. God, that smile already had such a hold on Cellbit. He wanted to hate it, but he couldnât bring himself to. Roier carefully brought a hand to cup Cellbitâs face. Cellbit watched as he blinked absurdly slowly- oh, no, he was just closing his eyes. He leaned closer until their faces were mere inches apart before stopping and putting a hand over Cellâs mouth.Â
âChrist, how much coffee have you had today?â He asked, not moving his hand for an answer. âNevermind, I donât care.âÂ
He moved his hand and carefully connected their lips.

what is the reasoning behind putting something that absolutely ignores mechanics in a system that's all about defined mechanics? if you want to play powered by the apocalypse go play pbta or whatever? stop trying shoehorn in shit that doesn't belong in D&D
I'm gonna do my best to take this question and answer it in good faith.
The system/subsystem I'm working on is to include a combination of things that are COMMON and beloved by many in fantasy, but ESPECIALLY Heroic Fantasy: someone pushing beyond their normal limits in order to accomplish a goal when everything else looks bleak. When a character says "fuck the consequences, I have no other choice," whether through desperation, anger, determination, etc. These are almost ALWAYS accompanied by long term consequences for that character.
In D&D games like mine that are just as much about the storytelling as the mechanical gameplay, it SUCKS when your dice have done nothing but betray you, for instance. There are plenty of REAL LIFE examples of stuff like this happening as well: real life people have found themselves capable of feats that they can't replicate afterward and had never done beforehand, because the situation was so desperate.
I'm not saying the system I'm working on is right for every table, not by a long shot. But there IS precedent for similar mechanics. The (slightly controversial) madness mechanic in 5e is an example.
My players, for instance, I know for a fact would avoid using this system unless things were truly desperate for their character. And I'm not saying this system even allows someone to say "I do this and it's perfectly successful." If it's a big ask, it might simply be impossible. If it's very difficult, they might be able to mostly succeed on their goal or they might have a monkey's paw version of a success.
The mechanic isn't intended for "I kill the BBEG." It's not for an extended, complex task. But if a character is standing next to someone they love and they can see someone pointing a crossbow at them, I would enjoy my players having the option to have a minor heroic moment of taking a shot for that person, or for a sorcerer to be able to push their powers beyond their normal limit when things are looking at their darkest, even knowing there will be some severe long term consequences.
My players LOVE D&D 5e. We love the mechanics in it. But we also love good narrative and storytelling, and as a DM I'm confident in my improvisation skills, I can handle it. My players also know if I have a blank slate of "Ellie can really fuck with my character if I do this" (in a good natured way) it's only to be used VERY sparsely.
In short: We WANT to play 5e D&D. We just want to add some narrative choice and flavoring that doesn't exist in the base rules.

Hi i came to ask: is there a ttrpg like disco elysium? By that i mean the immersive world, how failing a check does not always mean the end and the vibes in general
THEME: Disco Elysium
Hello friend! I had to do a bit of research before I could answer this prompt, because Iâve never played Disco Elysium before. I hope that something within these recommendations speaks to what you are looking for!
Dreams Detective, by Almost Bedtime Theatre.
Someone - or something - is stealing from dreams. Those Who Protect the Dreamers have pulled a detective from a plundered dream, imbued them with a fraction of Their power over dreamstuff, and tasked them with finding the culprit. You are that detective.
Uncover the perpetrators, discover their plans, and report your findings.
Dreams Detective is a solo journaling game based on the Hints & Hijinks solo mystery game system by Pandion Games. You play the game by yourself, writing down your actions and answers to the questions posed. This book guides you, but you are ultimately in control of where you want the story to go.
What this game offers that brings it most in line with Disco Elysium is the idea of being a detective who is dealing with a problem that isnât wholly rooted in the physical world. This game also carries the ability to really kick you when youâre down, because every failure reduces your ability to succeed in future attempts. Over the course of the game, youâll collect clues which you can use to make a Deduction Roll. Unlike Disco Elysium, failure can close off many paths for you and even render your Deduction unsuccessful. However, the Hints & Hijinx system carries with it many connections to Choose-Your-Own-Adventure novels, and Disco Elysium provides that same feeling by giving your character multiple responses to problems.Â
Urban Shadows, by Magpie Games.
The streets bleed shadows as the supernatural politics of the city threaten to swallow you whole. Will you die a heroâa savior for those who have never had enoughâor live long enough to become the villain? Will you fight the darkness...or give in for power?
The choice is yours.Â
Urban Shadows is an urban fantasy tabletop roleplaying game in which mortals and monsters vie for control of a modern-day city, a political battleground layered just under the reality we think we know. Vampires, faeries, hunters, and wizards fight to carve out a piece of the streets and skyscrapers, ready to make deals with all those who have something to offer. Urban Shadows is based on the Powered by the Apocalypse framework, with all new rules designed to help you play a game of political urban fantasy.
This might not look up-front like Disco Elysium, but tone-wise, Urban Shadows is remarkably resonant. You live in a city that is not kind to you, and politically, itâs a patchwork coalition of factions that both despise and depend on each-other. As a play group, you get to decide how exactly these factions work - and how your characters are indebted to them. Getting what you want isnât easy in Urban Shadows, because getting anything done puts your characters in debt to someone else, who has their own plans and goals for the city.Â
Finally, the dice system is reminiscent of Disco Elysium - you roll 2d6 and add a modifier. Whatâs more, failure in PbtA games doesnât stop you in your tracks - it just gives the GM license to choose how the narrative moves forward, and hit you where it hurts in the process. You might still learn something about whatever it is you need answers for, but the solution is something that makes your heart sink into your stomach, or forces you to confront something youâve been trying to avoid.
The 1st edition of Urban Shadows is out in full form, but if you want to take a peek at the 2nd edition, you can download the Quickstart for now.
Numenera, by Monte Cook Games.
They say there have been eight worlds before ours. Eight times the people of this planet, over vast millennia, built their civilizations, reaching heights we cannot even fully imagine now. They spoke to the stars, reshaped the creatures of the world, and mastered form and essence. They built cities and machines that have since crumbled to dust, leaving only their barest remnants.
This is the Ninth World. The people of the prior worlds are goneâscattered, disappeared, or transcended. But their works remain, in the places and devices that still contain some germ of their original function.Â
Become a part of the setting, and help shape the future of the Ninth World. The people of the Ninth World are locked in a medieval-like state, a world of struggle and danger and often sufferingâall in the shadows of the prior worldsâ wonders. You can make the world a better place. Help a community defend itself from abhumans or the iron wind. Create centers of learning or trade. Innovate, build, and protect. Manage an entire community and help it prosper and growâor simply create new cyphers, a cool base, or maybe a vehicle for your adventuring group.
Numenera contains a rich and weird setting, much weirder than Disco Elysium. Disco Elysium takes place in a world very similar to our own in terms of technology and politics, and the weird creeps in gradually. In Numenera, the weird is front and centre.Â
When it comes to the stories you tell, Numenera rewards discovery over combat (although combat is still likely to play a pretty prominent role if you use the bestiary as written). The expansion book, Destiny, possibly shows this theme to a fuller extent, providing you with character options that promote diplomacy and creativity and giving you tools to set down roots and better the lives of communities that you care about. When you figure out how a piece of the world works, you are better enabled to solve (and survive) large problems that your characters will face, whether that be extra-dimensional threats, mutated hordes, or a weather event that fundamentally alters you when it collides with your part of the world.
Tales from the Loop, by Free League Publishing.
The landscape was full of machines and scrap metal connected to the facility in one way or another. Always present on the horizon were the colossal cooling towers, with their green obstruction lights. If you put your ear to the ground, you could hear the heartbeat of the Loop â the purring of the Gravitron, the central piece of engineering magic that was the focus of the Loopâs experiments. The facility was the largest of its kind in the world, and it was said that its forces could bend space-time itself.
In this roleplaying game, you play teenagers in the late Eighties, solving Mysteries connected to the Loop. Choose between character Types such as the Bookworm, the Troublemaker, the Popular Kid and the Weirdo. Everyday Life is full of nagging parents, never-ending homework and classmates bullying and being bullied. Explore the secrets of the Loop in two main game settings â one based on the Swedish MĂ€laren Islands, the other on Boulder City, Nevada.
Tales from the Loop carries a similar blend of the real and the unreal together, in a world thatâs reminiscent of the 80âs and 90âs, with the exception of the retro-futuristic technology that pervades the whole of society. You play as kids, solving investigations that the adults of this world canât seem to see or care about. This game feels more hopeful than Disco Elysium, which makes sense seeing as youâre playing kids and not a drunk, washed-up cop. The idea is that new technology is causing strange things to happen, and the powers-that-be that may be responsible for this are too powerful for anyone to really get any solid answers.
System wise, youâre using dice pools created by adding together your attributes and skills. Thereâs a lot of ways to avoid failure, including a âpush yourselfâ mechanic that gives you a negative consequence that persists regardless of whether or not you succeed.What you might like about Tales from the Loop is the fact that you have to be creative when it comes to solving problems - kids canât just beat down a door or argue their way into a boardroom.Â
Whatâs So Off About This Small Town, by Ostrichmonkey Games.
What's So Off About This Small Town? is a hack and riff of Jared Sinclair's What's So Cool About Outer Space? about creating and getting lost in a weird and dark small town. Think of places like Twin Peaks and you've got the general idea.
Players rotate the role of the TOWN, who is responsible for keeping things off (and making sure the characters stay cocooned in the web of the town, never leaving). When you're not the TOWN, you do your best to find and unravel the web of the weird and dark by gambling against the TOWN.
Break into the high school after hours, get chased through the woods, do a weird dance in a room with no windows. See what happens.Â
Full disclosure: I havenât seen Twin Peaks, just like I havenât played Disco Elysium. What Iâm going off of here is the vibes that they seem to give off, based on how people talk about them. However, both of these pieces of media seem to have a lot in common: detectives solving a murder, the broader world takes up more of the plot than the actual case, the tone is strange and off-putting, and the response to the piece of media is one of both love and befuddlement. People love these pieces of media, probably because they have to wrestle with what it means.Â
That being said, Whatâs So Off About This Small Town is a ttrpg meant to emulate this feeling. The system falls back onto standard ttrpg hallmarks: rolling dice when you try something risky, using elements from your character background to increase or decrease your chances, and failure leading into interesting consequences. When it comes to defining itself genre-wise, the game gives each player a chance to contribute to the story, which allows for a weird concoction of story elements that you wonât get from having a single GM. Additionally, the idea of the Town itself interacting with the players contains echoes of the city of Rechavol and itâs relationship to Elysiumâs main character.
What matters the most in this kind of game is table buy-in: if you want to make the game feel a bit like Disco Elysium, youâre definitely going to want to play with a group that has experience with the game.

A lot of Nagito self shippers have a remnant of despair sona! One person calls theirs maid to match servant! I think itâs super cute! Does Zoey have one?
Ultimate Despair AU - Remnant of Despair Zoey (Ultimate Cartoonist)
(Also, here is a link to the post I wrote yesterday).
Junko and Zoey write depressing comics together about the Ultimate Despair spreading around the world, and they include silly Monokuma short stories sprinkled in (like those segments in the games where Monokuma tells a nothing-story in between chapters. I liked most of those.) Zoey can also write the stories on her own or draw new copies of previous ones if needed.
Zoey would shove these into people's arms and faces or drop them from atop the giant Monokuma robot, and any flashy, cool pictures that drew potential readers in would be juxtaposed with the insistent attitude that Monokuma and the Despair will (and did) take over the whole world.
Zoey still has sensory issues that impact her ability to enter crowded and/or loud spaces (I mean, if being a remnant somehow fixed autistic sensory issues, then, shoot, maybe being brainwashed wouldn't be so bad after all! /jk). Junko found it amusing to watch a brainwashed Zoey scream and punch people (including other Remnants) (since she wouldnt care to control herself anymore) whenever she got overstimulated, but she realized quickly how difficult it was to give orders with Zoey's constant outbursts, so she gave her Monokuma-style headphones to block outside noises and focus on the tasks at hand. What else would she ever need to listen to other than Junko's orders?
Zoey and Kazuichi knew each other as Remnants but hardly ever interacted, as both of them (like everyone else) stopped socializing for anything other than for obeying and worshipping Junko. Still, it wasn't uncommon to see them both standing on the giant Monokuma robot, throwing "Despair Comix" down to people together.
Zoey never wanted her art to be used like this. Kazuichi told her to throw those things in the garbage, but she would keep reading the "Despair comix" over and over, looking for any inspiration for parody or mockery, because she wanted desperately to turn this garbage into something good, anything good. Even though she didn't have any luck with this herself, she felt better after finding out that online communities used to make these into memes. Even dumb shit - like a panel of Monokuma with a poorly-edited bong that read "420 in the apocalypse -smoke weed in despair" made Zoey feel that her art, in a way, played a small part in giving someone a chuckle or a moment of relief during the end of the world.

The 141 as the Horsemen of the Apocalypse version 2
Hereâs the second version! I really like both versions I wrote. But please tell me which you prefer! Version one can be read here.
Whispers around the base called them the apocalypse incarnate. Death, Famine, Pestilence, and War in the flesh. It worked out quite well since there were four of them.Â
Captain John Price was whispered to be the one called Death. The leader of the 141, he and his men went into the hairiest battle situations and somehow still came out on top. Nobody tried to keep track of the forceâs kill count. Price led the hunt each time a new target was acquired. He rarely left any enemy survivors behind. He trained his men to be as ruthless as him. Wherever Price went, death was sure to follow.
Lieutenant Simon âGhostâ Riley. Most would assume he would be the one called Death, due to his call sign and preference for skull masks, yet he was nicknamed Famine. His very presence on the battlefield starved the air of anything except bloodlust. Off missions, there was something empty about the man. Something was missing. Whenever he was around the other soldiers, it felt like whatever it was was being sucked right out of the air. The soldiers felt a little colder, a little bit less somehow. They didnât know what they needed to fill themselves, but whatever it was there would never be enough.
Sergeant Johnny âSoapâ MacTavish was Pestilence, or the conqueror. The first one sent in to clear the area, killing all hostiles. Teamed with Ghost on the field, heâd rain bullets and hellfire on enemy combatants. Back on base and off mission, he tended to plague his fellow soldiers with pranks and extremely corny jokes. Once he had decided you were his next target, whether on or off the battlefield, you had no chance.
Sergeant Kyle âGazâ Garrick was one that tended to confuse everyone. On base, he was one of the most polite and borderline sweet (if soldiers could use that word to describe a member of a special task force). He was Priceâs protĂ©gĂ©, sure, shadowing the captain whenever possible. He was learning every trick of the trade he could. But on the mission, he was just as vicious as the rest of his comrades. The other soldiers dubbed him War because he became someone, something, else when on the battlefield. Someone unstoppable. Some swore they saw the fires of hell shining in his eyes during combat, like he was Ares, the Greek God of war himself.
Most of the regular soldiers gave them as wide a berth as possible, which didnât bother the task force much at all.Â
The four men knew enough about the whispers behind their backs, about being the four horsemen of the apocalypse back on earth to bring about the end of the world.Â
Price would just scoff and light up another cigar while reading another mission report. He didnât have time to deal with such things.
Ghost wouldnât give a reaction. He had long since stopped caring what others thought about him.Â
Soap would just laugh and shake his head, babbling on and changing the subject. But he would secretly make note of his next prank victim.
Gaz would cock his head to the side with a small smile. Heâd comment about how that really wasnât believable and why would the universe choose the four of them for such an important task? They were just soldiers, after all.

âȘÂ Â Â --MAGNETO 2099 || dominion
Charles and Moira came to him-- told him of the future, of timelines destroyed and failed. And he was not satisfied with that. He lost Genosha. Lost his children. No more. A temporal storm took apart the ruins of Genosha, only contained by Storm. As a result, Magneto and her found themselves teleported to Krakoa in 2099. He is the crusader. The protector. This island shall not fall as it travels the multiverse to harbour all mutants who seek a home ... and he shall find what he seeks.

What if Krakoa!Magneto was already existent during this time? What if someone else took the mantle of the mutant fighter? A year after Londonâs destruction, Genosha rises from the sea. It is formed from metal and debris of humankind, a new home for mutants. Magneto wears a holy white. The X-Men have gone more or less rogue. Pride is celebrated and mutants allow themselves to live in safety and flourish. But something is afoot. Sharks donât sleep.

Okay, here's a good one: A fantasy adventure story that's like Moonrise Kingdom, with the surrealism of Zeno Clash 1 and 2. Go!
(I am working through the backlog at the moment, so for anyone curious: REQUESTS ARE STILL CLOSED. But these are my requests from years ago, that I am finally answering now that life is marginally less bad.)
Person AÂ was an orphan born into a small town, but has no records of their family before appearing there as an infant, and is always told by the townsfolk that no one leaves the town and no one enters. One day, they start hearing a voice speaking to them and they follow it to the edge of town and discover a barrier far on the outskirts. The voice promises to make them feel happy and loved and cherished and begins to aid Person AÂ in escaping the barrier, but the world beyond is far more treacherous than they couldâve imagined, but the voice stays with them the entire time, helping them through trials, singing them lullabies at night, and guiding them closer to what the voice calls âhomeâ.
Person A is the adopted child and apprentice of the guardian at the center of the universe, a being vast and powerful, but who they view as more a nagging parent than much else. And despite being the apprentice, Person A is never allowed to view the world of mortals who live within the universe they are to be the future guardian of. One day, when their guardian isnât looking, Person A steals a tiny screen and begins observing the small corner of the universe it shows - a bedroom of a child, Person B, who is talking about a mysterious monster called Death that they are afraid of getting them. Person A, deciding that since theyâre the future guardian of the universe, theyâll prove their maturity to their caregiver by going on an adventure to go defeat Death. But Person A isnât aware of what death even is, so they decide to seek out Person B to get their knowledge about the monster.
Person A is a child who doesnât feel like they blend with their peers, and then a new classmate joins their class whoâs extremely strange and terrifies all the other kids, but Person A feels an instant connection with. Their strange and terrifying classmate, Person B, seems equally drawn to Person A. Person A starts to have strange dreams of a world unlike their own, where someone who reminds them of Person B is always with them, in a life they shared together in the elsewhere place of the dreams. When Person A mentions the dreams to Person B, they seem excited and tell Person A they can help them get home to that world and that life, and the two start planning how to runaway to this other world.
Person AÂ was born into a family that heads a cult that speaks of an apocalypse day that is set to fall on one of Person Aâs future birthdays, and due to this coincidentally shared date, Person Aâs birthdays are always fairly somber affairs, without much celebration. Person BÂ is someone they meet from outside the cult who is their closest friend and only one who doesnât think their birthday is unlucky and evil, and promises to throw Person AÂ an amazing birthday after they leave their familyâs religion/sphere of influence. When that day finally comes, Person BÂ does throw them the party, but when their family show up to crash it and try to stop it, Person AÂ becomes emotional and Person B, wanting to save their friendâs birthday, releases a great deal of power that triggers the predicted apocalypse.
Person A was abandoned on the doorstep of family of hunters with many children, but who took them in anyway, but Person A always felt a bit like an outcast among their siblings. Unlike all their siblings, Person A has never been able to kill an animal but is very good at foraging. But one day, while on a lone hunting trip thatâs a right of passage within the family, they start hearing a voice calling them deeper and deeper into the woods, that tells them they are the child of the forest god and are tasked with ridding the forest of the humans who hunt the animals there.

Darksiders Concept Thingy With Strife (3)
Strife was taking the lead as he was the one who got the whereabouts, from Vulgrim, for one of the ingredients they needed to bring back humanity. It was an enjoyable journey, because he and the human Alex were trading jokes.
She sat on Mayhem, fiddling with a project of hers that she says will help her make clothes. She smiled easily at him as her eyes were focused on her task. It was odd for Strife. He felt like it was only him and her in the world as the two of them talked. Unless, of course, Fury or Death had anything smarmy they wanted to add to the conversation. War was quiet, but whenever Strife checked on him, the giant nephilim was watching, obviously engaged with everyone talking.
The world around them trilled with her laughter when he told her a particularly bad joke. Strife smiled at her glee and at the groan that Death and Fury made.
"You're awful,' Alex said through her giggling.
"Ah, Princess. You wound me," Strife playfully lamented.
She laughed again. She fully looked up at him as she stopped working, then said, "Princess? When did I become a princess?"
Strife shrugged. "It makes since. You're small and fragile. That's what most princesses I know are like."
"You don't know any princesses," Fury snarked.
"Well apparently now he does," Alex teased back. Then she sighed and said, "But I am offended that I'm viewed as weak and fragile. It makes me feel useless."
"You are weak and fragile," War stated plainly.
"But you're not useless," Strife was quick to add when he saw the sadness seep a bit deeper into her half smile. "The way you defeated that grappleclaw with that environmental trap you set up was amazing."
"Which I still think was unnecessary and dangerous. We didn't need help," Death reminded Alex of his opinion.
Fury playful swatted Death with the back of her hand against his chest as she chuckled, "You just didn't like that it was you that she was helping."
"You're welcome, by the way," Alex said with a smile at Death.
Death only rolled his eyes as he raised his head and hands up slightly like he was asking the heavens why he was stuck with these people.
Alex then turned her attention back on Strife. "But anyways, if you're dead set on calling me princess, then I'm going to have to call you My Knight."
Fury gagged and Alex laughed, but Strife was just momentarily speechless over the idea of Alex seeing him as a hero or a protector of some kind. It's a new feeling.
"I have to say. I am determined to keep calling you princess... Princess"
She blew a raspberry at him through her laughter then said, "Very well, my knight," in a very elegant voice.
Fury gagged even louder and said, "Please go back to calling him Mr. Quickdraw Mcgraw."
"I will. But someone sounds jealous," Alex teased, "Do you want a nickname too?"
"That is not necessary."
"What? You don't want me to call you beautiful?"
It was Strife's turn to gag. "Please don't. She's got a big enough ego."
Fury was glaring at Strife as she said, "Besides we all already know I'm the prettiest one here."
"Maybe so," Alex conceded as Strife did silent, rude hand gestures at Fury, "but humanity, even before the apocalypses, lost a lot of information because people thought, "Everyone knows this, why would we restate it anywhere else," and well I think your beauty shouldn't be lost to the sands of time. You know?"
Strife could see everyone looking at Alex in complete confusion and he knew he was mirroring his siblings on the matter. Fury was actively avoiding the human woman's warm smile and gaze. Strife saw her hand twitching on her sword whip, like she wanted to use it on something.
"Alex, I think you're being too nice. You're going to start giving us ideas?" Strife joked.
She turned her attention back on Strife. "What's wrong with ideas. You all act like you've never been giving a complement, or had someone say thank you to you or anything else nice for that matter?
"That's because you keep acting like we're human." Strife stated.
"What does that have to do with anything?"
An uncomfortable silence fell on everyone as she looked expectantly at Strife, waiting for an answer that none of them can properly answer.
Eventually, Death's voice cut through the silence, asking, "How much farther until we reach our destination, Strife."
The human and nephilim turn their attention to the oldest of the group and Strife was, for once, eager to answer him, "It's just a few more hours away."
Death nodded. "Good."
Strife walked a little bit ahead, passing by Alex's sad and disappointed look as she went back to working on her project.
So much for being her knight, he thought.
#darksiers#fanfiction#darksiders strife#You know I'm only characterizing Strife based on how everyone else has written him.#Since I have yet to play the game he actually stars in I don't know how on point my characterization of the man is#it's very odd on my part#How on point am I by the way#I'm asking those who have played the game he's in
