#that he can purify

𝐗𝐗𝐗𝐕𝐈𝐈𝐈. Vestiges of a quincentennial corruption —signs / symptoms and therapy—.

It is known that corruption makes its way to any creature's being via exposure to the Abyss no matter how brief it may be, its nature of precipitating everything to death permeating their body with symptoms of varying degrees and lengths depending on how swift the pursuit of a cure is.

Signs and symptomatology.

Among the symptoms connected to corruption, the affected individual may experience: warping one's senses, thus reality. It is known that the void energy magnifies one's negative traits and expands them tenfold (someone's sadness can be more than it really is, someone's paranoia will be fed with more reasons to keep it going that are actually nonexistent but in their mind they are existent); visions, dreams and thoughts of those who passed manifested through voices heard by those with a higher sentience to this type of energy; deception of the viewer's sights by presenting an idyllic atmosphere and location that in reality could have them walk in hell without them knowing unless they awaken that awareness in them; organ compromise leading to a faster failure of the same under the exposure of elemental concentration.

When combined with the curse of immortality, one of its prevalent symptoms is the degradation of the individual's physical body through numbness and loss of any skill that requires his body with the passages of time.

Other signs and symptoms not directly attributed to corruption (but equally to the Abyss in a higher or lesser degree) have different ways of manifestation depending if it's:

→ Via direct contact to an external agent like the Tatarigami: the beginning of symptoms starts with overall weakness and dizziness and nose bleeding. Nightmares that give the sign of a bad omen are also part of the symptomatology. As the chaos goes untreated, the host experiences strong headaches, rashes on the skin blood coughs and more frequent nightmares. All these effects are particularly intense when night falls. Lastly, during the last phases of the sickness, hosts experience gruesome hallucinations and they’re able to listen to fallen gods’ whispers until they fall to madness. Failure to treat any of the symptomatology in time can lead to death.

→ Via Delusions: it stands to reason that in order to create weapons of this caliber by using chaos, the amount of chaos infused in these weapons is controlled and aimed for its wielder’s longer lifespan depending on how strong/resistant they are. As such, the symptomatology may be gentler but in essence it will also lead to its host’s death. Given that chaos is all about life consuming, it saps away from people’s vitality which in turn causes an ageing acceleration with the issues that ageing entails. Additionally, chaos feeds more from negative feelings which includes wrath that makes it harder to get out of the vicious cycle Delusion wielders entered. Hosts may experience weakness and coughing alongside side effects byproduct of the deterioration that comes with the fast ageing until they reach their death.

Depending on certain requirements, being touched by the Abyss leads to three conditions said individual may experience: premature death, transcendence (abandoning one's own flesh to become a transcendent being, an abyssal monster) or, in the best of cases, the need to keep oneself on check in order to not aggravate the already existing symptoms.

Therapy.

Human intervention from those who are knowledgeable in the medical field proves to be effective in muting the symptomatology of the corruption if not much time passes between the abyssal exposure and the treatment. Nevertheless, this is a palliative remedy at best: the organs of those who have been touched by corruption are already compromised.

Other methods that are exceedingly harder to be within human reach have proven to hold a higher effectivity in their healing or even purification exist. 1) Ley Lines themselves, due to being carriers of the seven elements that sustain the world (among other elements) and thus extensions of Irminsul, which also holds purification and healing capabilities, count as one of them. The fact that Natlan's weaker Ley Line system caused the same nation to take a bigger grunt because of the Abyss in comparison to other nations suggests their effectiveness in keeping the void at bay. 2) Traveler's purification and lastly, 3) the celestial nails are also known for being effective, too.

Dáinsleif.

In Dain's particular case, the clearest sign he has of corruption is that half of his body has turned black. Furthermore, his continuous exposition to the Abyss in his pursuit to frustrate the Abyss Order's plans —and by extension, his own brother's— in combination to the curse of immortality (potentially of abyssal connection too, despite being inflicted by a god) is enough reason for him to have multiple symptoms.

Lastly, Dain is known for being both corrupted and cursed, which might result in a higher chance at being affected by the aforementioned described symptoms more. Another reason to this cause is his connection to Irminsul for two reasons: 1) aether and void (abyss) when interacting are mutually toxic— given that both of them coexist in Dain's body, there is no denial that they may interact. And 2) the elements and the abyss repel each other, causing yet another negative effect).

Despite being highly susceptible to be in a really bad shape due to the abyssal influence within him, the reality is that he doesn't suffer much from these thanks to his connection to Irminsul. While contradictory all the same due to the toxicity that the interactions between the elements, aether and abyss may bring, he doesn't suffer from physical degradation and his corruption has been at an impasse for the past 500 years.

However, that doesn't mean that he can be careless with emotions running out of control or in his confrontations against the Abyss Order. And while his own symptoms may not be too bad, they are always present. Predominantly, they tend to flare up in moments of emotional vulnerability or if he lingers too much in places that have abyssal presence.

Okay, I know I said I was gonna make art for Inv and Saint instead of Hunter and Arti again, but I really wanted to draw this one scene from my au lol

the art is under the cut, tw for body horror, there is an almost Hunter long legs in it (not quite fully rotted yet tho)

For those who don’t want to see that (fair enough) It’s basically Arti encountering Hunter having a not very good time while she’s on a hunting mission for the colony. This is the first time she’s seen him since she abandoned him btw.

Yay! Such a cute scene of the twins reuniting after so long of being apart! <3

Thinking abt jace trying to resurrect Porter. And the worshipper’s ability to define and redefine the subject of worship—with Ankarna, with YES!/YES? etc… And the thing abt Jace being a Porter acolyte is that he loves Porter enough to help him with the plan even though he doesn’t want to lose him through ascension. Jace doesn’t exactly have his own agenda when it comes to The Plan, but a small part of him thinks. I understand Porter. And hopes. And Porter wants an empire, but he’s perfectly willing to take an unwilling army. But Jace’s devotion is real. Porter wants to be the god of rage but. What my true belief, my devotion, my love could change your very nature.

And the plan fails. And Jace has to realize. That’s not how it works. He brings Porter back, but with the resolve that belief is not enough. Porter has to do it himself. Something something cassankarna-Persephades etc etc. And what about you and I? Are we gonna try again? It’s time for spring. Wait for me. I will.

ive had a Lot of thoughts about the body horror aspects of jack but the one that sticks with me the absolute most is his blood. like when sam banishes the angels from the holding cell in 13x01. ack’s veins light up gold. his blood is physically being burned from the sigil’s banishing effects and it actually causes pain to jack.

or nick’s resurrection ritual from game night that needed jacks own blood as an ingredient—and the implication alone that any of jack’s genetic components can bring Lucifer back—when he sets a nosebleed stain of it on fire several miles away, jack can physically feel it burning in his veins again.

when jack is constantly puking blood and bleeding from his nose it’s a result of total systemic failure that he’s suffering specifically because the very cells that make up his whole body are falling apart and destroying each other, because he is something that physically should not exist.

the fact that he physically and genetically cannot be normal or separated from his other half, that any sort of ritual or magic against angels causes him physical pain, that he will always at his core be tied back to Lucifer no matter how independent he tries or wants to be, that he can’t even survive without the very part of him that is essentially seen/treated as a dormant evil rabies infection, is an Insane thing to add to a character.

Ok new questions for your purified au

What did Oliver do during skybound? I know he probably wasn’t an active part of the season but did he ever make a wish if so what would it be? Also would he have gone with the ninja to shintaro? Since they were invited there as guests

Ok I'm gonna start by answering the Shintaro question since that one is a simple yes or no. Yes, Oliver did go with the ninja to Shintaro. There's no way he was gonna miss out on a birthday party.

As for Skybound, for the longest time I didn't really have any specific ideas for what happened to Oliver other than he got taken out by Nadakhan early on. But recently, I came up with a silly scenario for what happened.

To start, Oliver got taken into police custody along with Misako when the bounty got taken. Then as usual, Nadakhan showed up to try and get Oliver to wish it all away. You know, the basic stuff. But Oliver's brain works on kid logic so he doesn't really pay attention to what Nadakhan is saying, he just hears that he can wish for stuff and goes for it.

So his first wish is actually pretty smart and practical, he wishes to not be at the police station anymore. So Nadakhan bends the wish and transports him to the middle of a forest since Oliver didn't specify where he wanted to go. He expects Oliver to get upset about being lost and alone in a dark scary forest, but Oliver explains that he used to live in a forest so this is fine.

So Nadakhan goes back to his whole song and dance, telling Oliver he can wish for whatever his heart desires. Oliver thinks about it and realizes that he really wants a cool rock. So he wishes for a cool rock, but also unintentionally does the smart thing by being very specific about the rock he wants cause he starts rambling about the rock, so he gets a small little rock that he likes with zero down sides.

Nadakhan is starting to get more annoyed with Oliver, but he doesn't back down. He continues rambling about how he's all alone and the ninja won't find him so he should just wish it all away, but Oliver is not paying attention to any of that. He just flat out is not listening to the words that Nadakhan is saying. He's too busy thinking about his final wish. And when he finally decides what he wants, he asks for basically a gameboy (or a gameboy equivalent) that will never run out of battery and has a really fun game that is difficult, but Oliver is really good at it. No one else is good at the game, just Oliver. So Nadakhan gives him his gameboy and Oliver literally spends the rest of the season sitting in that forest playing his gameboy. Nadakhan realizes that even if he didn't capture Oliver, he at least got him out of the way so he considers that a win and leaves.

I also think it would be funny if occasionally the ninja would mention being worried about Oliver since they have no idea what happened to him and then it cuts back to Oliver in the forest playing his gameboy.

Rise of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - The Green Ranger

The Power Rangers refuse to accept that killing her is the only way to free Tommy from Rita’s control, determined to find a way to end RIta without risking their friend.

One by one, over several battles with the Dark Green Ranger, the team are able to summon their Dino Zords, all inspired by a comment made by Billy when they first found the Power Coins. Once all five are summoned, they make a last stand, taking down Rita’s Dark Dragonzord with their newly formed Megazord, the Rangers fight on the ground, urging Tommy to fight her, don’t let her win!

Zack cries out, holding her back from the rest of the team, “Tommy! Don’t let her decide who you are! You decide that!”

Jason on her other side adds on, “You’re one of the strongest people I know! Fight her!”

Trini supports, disarming the Dragon Saber from Rita’s grip, “You have to be brave for us! For yourself!”

Billy, staff of the Power Lance pinning the Dark Green Ranger to his stronger teammates, “We’re not giving up on you! It doesn’t make sense for you too either!”

Kimberly rushes into Tommy with all her strength, wrapping her arms around her so tight that no power in the known universe could break her grip, face pressed into Tommy’s chest, “Please, you have to come back to us! You have to come back to me!”

From then on, Tommy officially joins the team as the Green Power Ranger.

Sam going to confession with no priest actually present is the most protestant thing this show has done so far.

I hate when people are like “it wasn’t intentional so it doesn’t mean anything” or “why should anybody have to apologize for an accident,” because while their intentions are not ill, accidents can still hurt people.

For example, you accidentally drop a glass cup onto the floor and it shatters. You didn’t mean to drop the cup, you didn’t mean for it to shatter, but the glass is still on the floor. Even if you didn’t plan to hurt anybody, the glass shards still hurt people. Nobody is forcing you to apologize if you accidentally say or do something insensitive, it’s your choice, but leaving the glass shards on the floor for people to step on will hurt people regardless if “you didn’t mean it.”

Everyone makes mistakes. In fact, most people have probably dropped metaphorical glass cups on the floor. But you can still pick up the glass shards. You can think about why it broke in the first place and hold it differently to avoid dropping it again. You can still be sorry.

If someone else drops and shatters a glass cup, apologizes, and picks up the shards, but you personally didn’t step on the glass and get hurt, that doesn’t mean you should start parading around about how that someone has been wrongly forced to clean up the glass shards. Nobody forced them to pick up the glass shards. They accidentally broke the cup, recognized the glass could hurt people, and cleaned it up. It should not be the standard to only clean up the glass shards when they have cut a thousand people’s feet and they are demanding it be cleaned up.

If you drop a cup and it gets glass all over the floor, it’s ok to admit it. You can still clean up the glass shards. You can get a new cup and hold it differently so that it doesn’t shatter. Just don’t leave the glass on the floor and say you don’t need to clean it up because it was an accident. You aren’t a bad person for making a mistake, but refusing to own up to it and change yourself for the better does make you a bad person.
