Title: Chronicling: 

A post-Grimm tale told in journal form.

Year 0 Day 22 A.G. ::

22 days ago, we put an end to a fairy tale that connected the distant past to our current present. Salem was defeated, and the Grimm were vanquished. 

Only later did we realize that this was the start of a chaotic new world.

Year 0 Day 23 A.G. ::

Perhaps the only merit of the Grimm was that it prevented a lot of the infighting that we’re experiencing now. Everyone saw the Grimm as a common enemy, and whenever there was a War like the Great War, both sides would deal with the Grimm before going back to killing each other. The looming threat of the Grimm prevented Wars from going completely overboard, because what’s the point of winning when the Grimm would overrun you anyway?

One could argue that Salem contributed most to the unification of mankind because that’s what it took to survive.

Salem issued her ultimatum when we finally came back to Vale, which was essentially Surrender and Submit OR Confront and Die. And humanity chose the latter, believing we could finish this fight.

Vacuo, Mistral, and whatever remained of Mantle and Vale amassed an army of Huntsman to attack the Land of Darkness.

Note that Atlas is missing from that group and that becomes important later. 

I’m still not sure why Salem chose to do things like that. The smarter thing would’ve been just to attack all the major cities and hold us at Grimm-point.

Perhaps she was getting bored of her immortal fight.

Or maybe she just wanted to do what the Gods did to her and her army a long time ago - wipe everyone out in one go - in a twisted role reversal. Eh. Who knows what goes through an immortal omnicidal maniac's head? And it's not like I can ask her anymore.

In any case, the major cities were almost all emptied out of Huntsman to fight this battle. Only the bare minimum remained to maintain the city’s defense, most of them Huntsman-in-Training.

People made the mistake thinking that Mantle and Atlas, being both from Solitas, were of one body and mind - and while many from Mantle were willing to see the end of this eternal fight - the big-wigs of Atlas held their strongest back, claiming they were needed to protect them from the Vacuoian rabble. Most people just treated this as rich people just being unreasonable and selfish - and that these folk could be handled after the war ended.

Year 0 Day 25 A.G. ::

Just getting the army to the continent was brutal. Grimm covered both the sea and the skies, and we took enormous casualties before even making landfall. And when we finally did, it was like introducing flesh to a meat grinder. Looking at the final casualties, over 40% of Huntsman died that day, and a whole many were left crippled or missing. All hoping to see the day where the fighting ends.

Ruby’s still in a coma after doing whatever she did. Weiss lost an eye and complained “why couldn’t it have been the scarred one.” I ended up being the unhanded to Yang’s unarmed. 

Hmm. I just realized that Huntsman have a very terrible coping mechanism for debilitating injuries.

When we came to the Grimm continent, we believed we held the winning hand. We were confident that our army was proof that Humanity was United and that the Gods would answer our call. Therefore when we finally reached Evernight Castle, we used the power of the Relics to summon the Gods on Salem's doorstep. 

And to our shock, the God of Light found humanity not United and therefore Unworthy. He didn’t bother giving an explanation to a species about to become extinct in the next few seconds. As we saw the same light show that was about to make humanity extinct for a second time - except now in the God of Light’s hands - we despaired.  

That’s when Ruby, wielding all four Relics, did… Something. It’s hard to describe. It was like being in part of her Semblance, including the extreme nausea part, and then also not. The world exploded into red and white - a field of scattering petals instead of the desolate land we were at. And when everyone came to their senses, all of the Grimm around us were gone. Ruby was gone too. So was the God of Light.

The God of Darkness had a perturbed expression on his face, only to be surprised when Ruby reappeared from a gale of petals a couple seconds later and without his brother. Meanwhile, everyone ignored the half-dead Salem and focused on the other building-sized deity in this scenario.

Waiting for his decree. 

Wondering if we needed to somehow procure another miracle to protect Humanity.  

Now whereas the God of Light was willing to make humanity go extinct just to honor the letter of the agreement, the God of Darkness, who was now the only god around, was more flexible on the interpretation of the conditions.

Humanity was United as far as He could see, and He would honor the spirit of the promise. There’s a certain irony here that the God who had made humans nearly extinct a long time ago was also the one who gave its stay of execution, not that anyone who hasn't heard Jinn's revelation could appreciate it. 

Salem, who was already half-disintegrated by just being in the proximity of Ruby’s Something, was unmade by the God of Darkness - disappearing into dust. It was a rather unfitting end for the immortal woman who had made our life hell - and if this were a book, I'd say the writer would've done Salem dirty. Unfortunately for her, this was real life, and I could only wish this happened sooner.

The only things that remained here were the Grimm Pools and the Castle and a small number of Grimm confined permanently to the Land of Darkness. 

Year 0 Day 29 A.G.

After the God of Darkness left, some people stayed behind to turn Evernight into a livable city. Before the army set off for home, I saw someone chiseling out a statue in the God of Darkness’s image and a whole bunch of purple-robed clad followers praying. 

Guess the God of Darkness finally got the worshipers He finally wanted. As for the God of Light, he still hasn’t reappeared, but the God of Darkness has reassured us that he is not in the position to do much of anything. More importantly to us though, Ruby will wake up eventually. 

The end of our fairy tale.

The army eventually separated and went back to their respective continents, eager to see the friends and family they left behind. 

But when the Vacuoian and Mantle Huntsman reached Vacuo’s borders, they were met instead with a united Atlasian army instead. 

That was the start of the Atlas-Vacuo war.

Fellas, is it wrong to headcanon a real person as autistic?

[astraveil]

while I am going through the task of reworking mass amounts of character lore, I have a question I'd like to pose

how does our good ol' boy Meteor being canon to Astra's story sound? I have an idea that revolves around him losing his memories after the Battle of Carteneau but continuously running into Astra and her group over the course of her story, building up a bit of an unspoken rivalry with her that he's not even really aware of...but I'm not entirely sure how or if it would even work at all 😅

So, what would your guys' thoughts be on that? I'd love to hear them or any other ideas you might have about this particular thing that crossed my mind lol

[pallases]

[lgbtmi]

vampire besties i need you all to observe She

[smolavidreader]

Me looking through the Shulk/Alvis ao3 tag: what do you mean there haven’t been many new fics over the past few months I could’ve sworn…

My google docs filled with Shulk/Alvis wips: It was I who tricked you

[starstruckodysseys]

am i working on the murder mystery that may or may not become my main novel? no. am i working on the self indulgent bowling au fic? of course

[orgasming-caterpillar]

Btw i hope y'all know that when i write something i can't imagine shit,, like when you think of something before writing it and you get butterflies when its cute- no. I think in flashing images. When i was writing the broken button drabble all i had in mind was a mental screenshot of a girl doing that to her husband from a movie i watched years ago. That's why i deal in sexual tension and high stakes and internal monologues so much,, cuz i can't fucking imagine shit. I don't even know what Raghav and Ranveer look like. If you ask me what they look like in my head ill probably pull a picture from my gallery and roll with it. I just know that raghav is 5'9, ranveer is four inches taller than him. Ranveer's skin is several shades darker than raghav. Ranveer has fucking void black eyes and hair, raghav has brown curls and the type of brown eyes that look majestic in sunlight. That's all i fucking know. Even when i think about these traits, i imagine the skins of their hands, those dramatic pinterest close up shots of the eyes, silhouettes when i imagine the height. Someone was just describing how reading Dancing On Your Heartstrings played out in their head like a bollywood movie and HUH!?!? MOVIE!?!? girlie i was thinking in flashing images when i wrote that "movie" what are you talking about

[kitsunesakii]

None of these are completely filled

Biggest lie is when I say I'll finish a sketchbook all the way

[getosbf]

If the FBI is watching me i want them to keep their whore mouths shut

[topaz-carbuncle]

It's 4am, I should have been sleeping hours ago now, especially with how tired I've been all day...

But alas, I'm too sucked into writing a fic that's entirely based around Nate with a blue slushie, my detective with a red one and them subtly trying to join a meeting with purple tongues

[getosbf]

I relate to this so hard cuz for the first chapter of my fisrst yuumori fanfic i spent four hours trying to find whether they used clay or metal cups in orphanages in Victorian era and that derailed into a detailed description of the way orphans were tortured and now i dont know what cups they used but i sure as hell know they made children lick their own pee if they accidentally wet the bed so yeah,,

You know what, I should only write modern things from this day on.

Half of my writing process is googling everyday basics from around 1880

"How did they iron clothes?"

"DID they iron clothes?"

"Victorian era dirty talk" -> Shakespeare

Absolutely not, I won't let Sherlock quote Shakespeare in front of Liam

"Crumpets invention"

"Since when did people use china"

"Why is it called china? Isn't that a country? (It's Porzellan in german, don't come after me)"

"How are horses sleeping?"

"Victorian era Mattress but 'murica"

[lemonmoonlavender]

i havent posted anything on this au in a bit over a month now so take them being all edgy and stuff while i dump more lore on you

to quote the stupid shit i vomit out onto my google doc: "As the modern-day rolled around and vampires were run out of their gothic French mansions by homeowners looking for affordable housing, they had to take their wealth to the suburbs to blend in with modern civility. These German kids hate them for it (and also because they’re killing people, y’know?)"

before i continue on, i would like to state that any similarities to a certain aptly named juicebox chronicles is purely coincidental and i only read the series starting a week ago. all the random crap i wrote in the google doc was written well over a month ago

and i quote:

"Idk maybe Varian’s backstory for being a vampire hunter is that his dad was in a coma and Varian got kidnapped by a gang of vampires (the Saporians) and they like gaslit him into being okay with it for a bit

Hell yeah that sounds like a good reason

Hugo’s is that he thought Donella was killed by vampires and now he kills them for sport

Nuru just thinks ridding the world of evil is neat

Yong does it for funsies"

thank you for coming to my ted talk
