#the worst ending

[jackdaniel69nice]

Inktober 04/2024 “Tragedy”

Waking up alone

This is a sequel to last years inktober drawing where AFO successfully steals dark shadow. This is the aftermath of him in the hospital. He’s completely catatonic and unresponsive to all stimuli. When a part of you is ripped away there is no replacing what is lost.

While I've decided that the main story of this AU will end "happily" with the Vees reuniting, there's a lot of wiggle room for what happens in the epilogue. @voxaholic and I have come up with several sad/bad endings this past week or two; now I'm curious how the rest of y'all see this story ending. If you have any specific ideas, feel free to share!

you and me and the devil makes three

cyberhanami day 7: "free space"

content warning: strong emotional distress, soul horror

summary: They could not be separated, Alt had said. All Rogue could do was wait for them to wake up. And just when everything is going to shit, they do.

song: Saveoursoulissa (from the Ravenous soundtrack / instrumental)

-----

The first sound they hear is the drone of an AV engine, shaking through the walls and calling them awake. Not a gentle call– not this one, arriving as it does in the twisted hellish spiral of dreams. They are born again choking and gasping into a hovel of a room just before the bullets start to fly. Instinct brings them to the floor, but the gunshots are farther away than that. The shouts that follow are closer. Much closer.

Arasaka, they think, and shiver. And then, with teeth bared, who else?

“Who else?” they ask, but it comes out wretched and weak. Laughter oozes, bubbles up out of their lungs like tar. “Who else!”

An explosion rocks the building just as they stagger to their feet, sending them into the doorframe. In the hallway a plume of dust and plaster sweeps over them, sending them into a coughing fit that protects them from the worst effects of the flashbang that follows. With clear eyes and deaf ears they press on. Today is a good day to die. Today is a good day to kill.

They meet the first person stepping through the cloud, but only then do they know that they are unarmed. One armed, a part of them thinks, through clenched teeth meant to muffle laughter. Nullhand. Adrenaline spikes all the way through them, hot like sparks, but the hand that catches their remaining fist is cool and uncompromising. The ringing is beginning to fade. Someone yells for Johnny.

Recognition besets them, startled and grieving. Rogue is calling for Johnny.

Now, the man holding them is no longer obscured, and his face is beautiful and his face is terrible, and everything is wrong. Panic, slamming through the same floodgates as anger, sends them lunging away in animal instinct. Dream they think, loud, as though they can drown everything else out with it, just a dream. But the dream holds tight– the dream is starting to grind away the bones in their wrist, and the man– he–

In the dream a man opens his mouth, and says with perfect chilly rage: “Silverhand.”

“Dead.” The word comes out a curse, lungs heaving in smoke and dust. In agony. “He’s dead.”

Everything is screaming: the building, the AV, the guns, all the warm bodies and their red threaded souls. Hell on earth. And him. Takemura. Saburo’s righteous right hand. That fucking bitter old guard dog. Goro–

His face changes with just the barest hint of relief. The wave of self-revulsion that follows rips them apart. In the midst of it they are unraveled, parceled out, found wanting. There’s not enough left to divide equally, and there never was. To let it continue will kill them all again.

They lean in a little closer and with a flat, snarling smile they tell him, “She’s dead too.”

I don’t think we’ve ever seen you draw knight of dawn before 🤔 what are your thoughts about him? Or take?

I've drawn him a couple of times, just really little/in the background. but I should draw him more, I love this guy a lot! I have many, many thoughts about him and the way he parallels Silver...and also I think it is extremely funny that his ghost is stuck in a ring. especially considering where that ring has been for the last 16-ish years.

on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.

Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.

Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.

Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.

There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.

face value

Thought Fiddlestan was a purely comedic ship for a while but now I get it, I see the light. It’s about a man who nurtures and cares for others to the point of heartbreak meeting a man who doesn’t remember what it’s like for anyone to care about him. It’s about them being warm together around the absence of someone they both love. It’s about Fiddleford’s innate domesticity comforting a man whose deepest desire was to come home. It’s about falling in love with the same face again but in a new context that heals your past trauma. It’s about Stan’s unbridled affection finally validating someone who desperately needed the recognition. It’s also about very funny old man yaoi.

Was joking around a bit with @voxaholic about how a RAM visual novel would work and I thought some of the stuff we came up with was amusing

The Heaven Ending and the Worst Ending are the endings that require the most steps, but the Other/Weird Ending is the hardest to achieve. You’ve gotta do a bunch of weird, seemingly unimportant stuff early on that eventually unlocks an option for Emily to come down to visit Hell and work some miracle magic. She thinks she’s helping. She makes everything ten times worse.

You’d play as different members of the cast depending on the scene because Vox would be an infuriating player character; you know what the right choice is, but the only options that ever come up with him are weird non-sequiturs and sad shit. Maybe you can play the whole story as him after completing your first run as a sort of optional Hard Mode.

After you’ve completed every possible route, you unlock a secret joke ending. You start up the game from the beginning and now have the choice to play as Alastor during the first scene instead of Velvette or Valentino. You have the option to just… choose not to do all this. If you select it, the game immediately ends on a happy note and tells you to stream Hazbin Hotel season 1. It’s truly the best ending.

after jasons death bruce "accidentally" slips harvey a crowbar while hes in arkham and kisses his cheek and says, voice soft and colder than ice, "make him hurt for me honey"

it takes 6 guards to sedate and drag two face off the joker the next time two face sees him and for the rest of their lives as soon as harvey sees the joker he goes after him like a rabid dog.

Universe said we don't have enough wish power for your bullshit. this is your last fucking star

[kendyroy]

thinking about how this movie could’ve ended like any other superhero movie where they go their separate ways before teasing some future threat

but instead it ended with wade calling out logan’s name romcom-style, and them living a happy domestic life together with their newly adopted dog
