I feel TOH fails a lot with the treatment that Belos and his lore receive towards the end. I think his arc will feel so much more complete if the show was allowed to show us that he suffered in the past and wasn't like "nah he is just pure evil and he has always been like that". I don't like how the show wants you to believe that Caleb did nothing wrong or reprehensible when there's obvious implications that he abandoned Philip to go with Evelyn, it will be so much more interesting that the show recognized that Caleb was naive and selfish in abandoning his brother (who only have him as family and support figure) to his own in the puritan era, and how that action of Caleb deeply damaged Philip emotionally and mentally (kinda like Luz abandoning Camila to live her fantasy in the Boiling Isles without thinking in the consequences (I'm still pissed that she didn't apologize to her mom for running away at the end) but we are not talking about that right now, I love Luz btw don't get mad at me). And Philip, who probably entered the Isles with the sole intention to "save" his brother who at his eyes was bewitched and seduced by an evil witch to go with her, when he finally found his brother after many years and found out that Caleb actually loved Evelyn and DECIDED to leave him behind he totally lost his mind.
A confrontation escene between Philip and Caleb (it could be a flashback or something showed in Hollow Mind even) will be so interesting to watch, something like in the third season of Infinity Train when Simon confronts The Cat for abandoning him as a child, Caleb will try to justify himself at first saying that he is sorry, that he thought Philip was going to be okay on his own, that he didn't thought that he was going to miss him or something, making Philip more angry, sad and confused.
The situation will scale to the point that Philip, (who's original goal was to kill Evelyn to bring back Caleb in the Human Realm) now that he is angry, sad and out of his senses he tries to attack Caleb with the dagger he had in his hand which triggers the knife fight in which Caleb dies.
Philip, after realizing that he killed the only person he had in the world, he tries to justify himself in an internal monologue like: "oh well, I murdered you, but in doing so I freed your soul from the union with that sinful witch. That's what the witch hunting taught me, right? That's what YOU taught me, RIGHT?". Trying to shift the blame for what just happened onto Caleb but also letting us know and acknowledging that it was Caleb who introduced and instructed Philip in the witch hunt and did nothing to reverse it.
Coming to the end, when the fight ends and Belos and Luz are face to face, the scene would play out more or less as we see it in canon but at the moment in which the first drop of boiling rain falls on his hand and begins to see his body dissolve, he enters a mental breakdown in which he realizes that he wasted his entire life on a goal that made no sense, the witches weren't evil or a threat and he knew it, but he clung to his goal because he did not want to face the reality, he did not want to accept that he had killed his brother in vain nor did he want to accept that he had decided to abandon him, and he did not want to die knowing that he wasted 400 years suffering for something that was not worth it. At the end of his collapse he would crawl a little and see Hunter in the distance (because yes, Hunter should have been present in the end even a little), he would try to extend his hand in his direction but Hunter, noticing this, would close his eyes, look away and take a step back behind Eda and Raine. Philip experienced his brother's abandonment again but with the difference that this time it is merely his fault, because even if Caleb damaged Philip deeply with his abandonment, he is not responsable of the path Philip choosed to take.
Seeing and realizing all of this Belos would stop crawling and give up, lying on the ground, breathing hard as the boiling rain finally dissolves him and dies.
Or at least that is how I liked it to happen, let me know what you think.

I want to talk about sukuna's conclusion specifically..but before that... URAUMEEEEE IS SO CUTEEEE.....I LOVE HOW THEY ARE LOYAL TO SUKUNA AND SUKUNA TOO TREATING THEM GENTLY AS THEY BOTH GET READY TO WALK DOWN THE REINCARNATION PATH. TO LIVE THEIR LIFE AS A COMPLETE NEW PERSON.
honestly it kinda reminded me of the gojo megumi relationship. As I feel sukuna must have saved uraume from somewhat a similar situation to his own ig.. like gojo saved megumi . But uraume decided to dedicate their life to sukuna and accepted them as their master. ( more than benefactor)
I am seeing many interpretations of this page but what i believe is sukuna had the opportunities to change himself before too, one was through a shrine maiden girl and second uraume but instead of caring for them as a family or as a guardian he chose to include them in his endless journey for revenge.
Basically he rejected both choices since he couldn't forgive those who cursed him...must be a wound too deep..But after coexisting with yuji and fighting him he lost and changed, was able to recognize his flaws and faults.. See the smile on his face. He feels so relaxed.. Yuji really freed him from his curse...
He realized he could have lived too but chose to curse them.... And now he wishes that if a chance comes again he would go for a different path... Here he decides for uraume too that they too will go North since he was the one who put them on this " Throw away the humanity" path so it's his responsibility to guide them to their new life too.
Now about that shrine maiden girl. I don't think it's his mother or yorozu... And the reason is this
Here Yorozu thinks sukuna already knows love and i don't think she was referring to motherly love here..
Moreover it feels like he was an active curse user and was mature when these choices came before him . So naturally it can't be her mother. Another thing is miko is supposed to be a young virgin girl and that's visible in the panel..
I personally believe if what he's imagining is his mother then she wouldn't look that young. .. If gege wanted us to think it's his mother he would have drawn her a little old Ig.. Maybe like maki's mother...
Now that we know sukuna was not truly honest to himself, this actually made me question why he decided to become a cursed object and cross ages... . Was it only just to fight?? Was there something else too... Did kenjaku know and that's why they forced him to coexist with yuji?? Did they know yuji is capable of handling sukuna emotionally.? And the way he dodged kashimo's question also didn't help ..
So i would like to play safe and wait for gege's confirmation.. Because I don't think he brought that up only to not address it again..

just realized i never posted my rescue team character redesigns oops
ninetales: shiloh (they/them)
-reworked to be a snowdrift (alolan) ninetales because it makes more sense with the climate they live in and spike chunsoft are COWARDS for not including the regional variants of pokemon in gens 1-3 that got one.
-actually only has 8 tails (lost one in the havoc encounter).
-@ all of the ties that bind heads out there: does their design remind you of anyone in particular? :3c
gengar: havoc (he/him)
-his real (human) name was alphard. he discarded this name and adopted havoc instead after his transformation, as he was hoping that it would make others want to avoid him entirely, as he felt like he didn't deserve any kindness or decency after what he had done. unfortunately for him, medicham and adder (ekans) are stupid and like him. he starts using alphard again after tureis is saved.
-he has a permanent frostbite scar on his right hand from when he grabbed shiloh.
-team meanies fully disbands after tureis' rescue and gengar decides to spend his time giving back to the community in pokemon square for forgiving him. he pretty much becomes team fable's biggest fan and hypes up mayar and turies after she joins (newlin.....exists), not that he will ever admit it.
-after the tureis rescue, mayar tells alphard that regardless of what he's done in the past he's still deserving of love and compassion and that he's not a bad pokemon. alphard becomes smitten with her after that (<- guy that is desparate for companionship). mayar thinks that he's funny and forgives him for the whole "sending a violent mob after her and newlin" thing, and they hookup eventually. everybody in town (especially newlin) hates it but they're still supportive.
-other than newlin he becomes the most active participant in team fable's research into mega evolution when their focus shifts over to that.
gardevoir: tureis (she/her)
-joins team fable for a few years before eventually joining team charm after meeting lopunny. the switch from rescuing to exploring excites her, especially since she's been unable to go anywhere for years. mayar and newlin are very supportive of this. medicham also joins in hopes of getting stronger by travelling to make up for fainting in wish cave.
-being trapped took a heavy toll on her physical body that left her very ill for a long time. she couldn't do much without getting weak and winded, and was severely underweight upon being freed. everyone was supportive of her just doing what she can while part of the team (though she was barred from partaking in mega evolution research due to being a massive strain on the body and could be lethal in her condition). she's much healthier as of joining team charm, which is her main motivation for getting out there and travelling.
-there is a 30ish year gap between rt and explorers in my lore, so by the time she appears in explorers she's in her late 50s/early 60s. still kicking it!
-first image is her appearance in rt, second image is her appearance in explorers
-never recovers her memories of alphard but, for reasons she can't describe, she feels a strong kinship with him. the two become good friends.
#pokemon#pkmnart#pkmn#pmd#pokemon mystery dungeon#ninetales#alolan ninetales#oc: shiloh#gengar#oc: alphard#gardevoir#oc: tureis#these will be up on toyhouse one day. can't say when but eventually they will be

ok so now that that’s out of the way: thoughts on Queen of Shadows through chap 65
- Lorcan: “All those years we worked together, killed men and bedded females together?” ???????? together??????? bed- together?????
- on that same note— confirmed bisexual Lysandra AND Aedion!!!!!!!! my loves
- ((a continuation of my fav characters always either giving hella bi vibes or being canonically bi))
- they’re gonna end up together and be the “bi woman who prefers women and bi man who prefers men end up together to everyone’s confusion including their own”
- SHAPESHIFTER LYSANDRA
- knew there was no was she was a basic bitch human
- no hate to my basic bitch human Nesryn Faliq *kisses her on the head and tucks her in*
- Chaol FINALLY realizing Aelin was kinda right but JUST WHEN we as readers realize DORIAN IS STILL THERE!!!!! HES THERE I PROMISE WAIT GIVE HIM A MINUTE PLEASE
- Manon’s eyes
- they have Power
- Manon and Dorian have a lil smth smth but i can’t tell if it’s just bc these two seem to have a lil smth smth w everyone or bc they actually have a lil smth smth
- the entire bit w Dorian and Manon and then the 13 vs the Squad and then Rowan saving Aelin but getting hit and then Aelin and Manon’s fight and then Aelin saving Manon and ASTERIN’S SCREAM
- i am— ded
- ASTERIN
- ASTERIN PLZ
- no but fr that line about Asterin’s heart and her wildness being born of despair so deep actually is living rent free i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it
- and Manon FINALLY having that come to Jesus moment where she realizes she has to Do Something about her grandmother and it being bc of Asterin is something that can be so personal
- Aelin saving Manon bc of Asterin’s scream and how she couldn’t bear to take someone away who was cared for that deeply hits so hard like I’m getting the same feelings from Aelin lately that i got when reading The Assassin’s Blade
- Aelin being dark and broody and mean and cold when she needs to but despite that always always ALWAYS being kind and warm and supportive and HUMAN, freeing slaves and comforting children like Evangeline and saving Lysandra (both from imprisonment and from Clarisse) and telling Chaol she’s sorry and he deserves to be happy
- speaking of Evangeline I’m OBSESSED w how Aelin was like “go forth young hellion and bother Aedion and Rowan, two very large, very powerful, very scary fae warriors, with your eleven-year-old sass” and Evangeline DID SO HAPPILY
- Rowan picking up Evangeline and comforting her and Evangeline immediately turning into him for comfort despite his intimidating presence

- by “their” i mean everyone
- Evangeline has four parents thx
- Lysandra’s reaction to being freed of her debts!!! her relationship w Aelin is so *chef’s kiss* i LOVE GENUINE SUPPORTIVE BEAUTIFUL FEMALE FRIENDSHIPS YAAAAAASSSS
- two queens getting together and discussing how to maximize their joint slay INDEED
- please get Manon in there i BEG
- anyway onto other Very Important Things:

- AND THEN THEY JUST *light peck* *goes to sleep* WASAASATTR???? *SHAKING THE BARS OF MY CAGE* SARAH J MAAS I HAVR BONE TO PIK W YUO
- on a calmer more sane note i love the way Aelin and Rowan’s relationship is being built up
- like it’s not them denying denying denying and pushing it all down only to explode in a fiery mess of passion all at once
- instead they’re going into all this very deliberately and softly
- they’re so open and connected that they’re able to communicate that they want each other but also recognize when it’s the right time to move forward and they don’t let it overwhelm them because they’re so secure in each other they KNOW they’ll still be there for each other in another hour another day another week another year so there’s no need to rush other than the imminent danger they’re facing but they’re going slow so each next step is a promise that they WILL SURVIVE because they HAVE TO because they WILL TAKE THAT NEXT STEP
- anyway yeah i have Feelings

Alright, dropping some lore for the Inkling daughter I gave to SMG4
WARNING: this is long AF and very quickly put together, so I might change some stuff
Anyway, presenting the...
SUPER MEME INKLING AU
In this AU Meggy and Desti both die on Anime Island. The machine doesn’t change Meggy into a human, but kills her by draining her.
Four is shocked and Mario is depressed, as well as the rest of the crew. Axol feels responsible, and the kingdoms, especially Inkopolis, is once again divided, harsh mentality against anime lovers back in full force.
Axol does not want Meggy to be forgotten, and so tries to train and reform the squad to win the Splatfest and honor her memory, alongside the crew. They win and dedicate that victory to her, asking for a statue in her honor and in honor of Desti too, who helped in freeing all the kidnapped inklings and octolings on Anime Island.
The rest of the arcs mostly follows the same line of storytelling, with a few changes here and there given the absence of Meggy.
Genesis follows the same length, with Axol getting possessed and instead being freed by Melony and staying alive.
Scarred, he decides to take a break from it all, to regain his mental stability, and goes to Sunset Paradise instead of Meggy (the events of that series happen afterwards in the AU instead of during the Genesis Arc).
Melony decides to train anyways, sad and missing Axol and feeling guilty over the fact that he still ended up being broken instead of bringing him back all in one piece. Niles still possesses her and uses her vulnerability to achieve her god form. Without Axol’s guidance, she’s easily manipulated.
Once Axol is back for her graduation and learns of the event, he instantly helps her feel better, and the two actually start their relationship, as she becomes his art student as well.
Four and Three bond in Revelations given the heavy loss they both suffer: Four with Meggy, Three with Terrance.
The two also bond more with Mario, who took it the hardest.
The Lawsuit Arc has Three be the replacement for Meggy, and the two Meme Guardians try to save themselves from Nintendo thanks to their teamwork.
They get closer and closer earlier in the arc.
IGBP happens the same but without Meggy, and Three doesn’t get sucked in the mirror, but saved at the last second by Mario. His face is half mutilated on his right side because of the effects of the almost possession of the flesh creature that actually possessed him in the movie.
Four is also scarred on the right side, his face sometimes paling and freezing mid talking, as if it goes on standby.
It takes Three and Mario to help him reconnect his train of thoughts.
Same happens to Three with his scar, sometimes his lip twitches and spasms.
After, Four gets the RV.
Suddenly, one night as he is trying to sleep, he is awoken by a painful cry outside the caravan. There he finds an infant inkling crying mostly in pain because of the rain sometimes hitting her face.
Immediately he takes her in, and panics because he is NOT a stable man right now both mentally and financially, how the hell is he supposed to take of a baby-
But once she smiles it’s over and decides to adopt her.
Meggy is then shown to Mario, who immediately freezes and softens and decides to become the best uncle ever to her.
Everyone in the crew adores her and helps out to find a way to get the castle ready as fast as possible. Everything happens without Meggy, and the little inkling is either babysat by Axol and Melony or by the other members of the crew at random.
Western Spaghetti is wildly different.
Mario kept Meggy’s beanie in memory of her. One day it disappears, and it sends Mario into a crazy search with Tari and Four. Eventually they find it and Four realizes he is taking care of an inkling and also probably taking her away from her culture and people in the first place, and also struggling because he doesn’t know exactly how to raise her.
Tari can relate to this because she also always feels afraid of doing anything, being left out and missing stuff, so she wants to help give Four the right amount of comfort of trying this new thing and adventure, making him feel that he is not alone in raising her.
They are led to Wren’s house and see the commercial, giving Four the idea of searching for him to show his daughter the hero his friend Meggy loved so much, and maybe have some advice on how to take care of her and maybe help her out on being a champion if she so wants to.
Tari is against the idea, feeling it odd and just going overboard, believing Four doesn’t really have to do this for Meggy, and finding this situation just weird in general.
However, they depart anyway and get taken by Wren.
Four is the one being tortured. Seeing his little girl being taken away from him over and over, seeing his late friend Meggy alongside Desti, having Wren challenge him on what it takes to be a right father for his daughter, believing in the fact that he could take her away and be the next champion instead, training her in the simulation.
Tari helps Four out in defeating Wren.
And doesn’t easily forgive him, relating to him on having a whole perfect world where he could do whatever he wanted and recreating his career.
After that everything happens the same way and Meggy grows up to be a loving and caring daughter, full of energy and a tad bit insane, loving ink explosions and battles, but not interested in winning the Splatfest.
She loves memes but not anime, despite adoring her Uncle Axol and every single one of the crew that is revolved around the anime world (Saiko, Boopkins etc)
Her two fave people aside from Four though are Three and Mario, whom she calls Daddy-ho (given she wants him and her dad to date) and Uncle Red.
She gets along with Beeg SMG4 as well, causing chaos and mayhem whenever she can, and likes to hang out with Eggdog and draw with him.
Also adores cappuccinos with marshmallows, and her favorite weapon of choice are the ink bombs. She also loves street art and paints every wall of the castle if she wants to, arguing with Four about it sometimes.
#smg4#smg4 au#smg4 oc#super meme inkling au#nichetalk#im havin a lot of fun with this character x3 i love her a lot#and im starving for family fluff so hdhfhf

MINOR SPOILERS, I THINK?
Don’t mind me, just thinking about how perfect the story of Chip, Jay, and Gillion is.
That somehow, 3 people became more family than the entire world in a matter of seconds when meeting each other.
That Chip, who pulled Jay and Gill out of their respected bad places, cares deeply about them. That a man who is so emotionally repressed will tear down the earth just to save them. That Chip is so fucking insecure deep down. That he wants nothing more than to scream out his issues, and feel okay, but he doesn’t. He doesn’t because he’s got a fight to win. Because he simply just CANT. And that Gil and Jay see him. They fucking SEE how hurt he is. They see how much pain is behind his eyes when Ollie smiles and call them his family. They see how much knowingly pained hope is behind his eyes when he looks at or talks to Drey. How much he regresses when he talks to the man. They see him for the side he tries so fucking hard to bury, and he honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.
That Gillion thinks nothing of himself. He thinks so terribly of who he is, and has a whirlwind of conflicting feelings in his head due to all the shit resurfacing about the Elders. That he’s slowly breaking down because of all the reconstruction, all the pain and suffering he’s realized they’ve caused. That the very thing his life was built upon is slowly being torn apart by the most amazing things to happen to him. These two humans, Chip and Jay, have freed him. They’ve made him feel more himself then he’s ever been in the past 23 years. These two, who know him to his very core, are there for him. Not because of a prophecy. Not because of what he can do. Not because of what he knows. Because he’s him. He’s Gillion, and that’s all they need.
And Jay. What could I say about Jay. She’s so fucking (platonically) in love. She can’t believe she got so fucking lucky. She didn’t know where she was going when she left the navy, and she immediately found Chip. She immediately found a home. She’s been through so fucking much. She’s had so much internal bullshit going on. She looks in the mirror, and she cannot define what she sees. She still doesn’t know if she’s a good person. She loves her family. She hates her family. She hates herself, but she’s also become so much more comfortable and confident. She’s Jay FUCKING Ferin. She’s Jay Ferin, Riptide Pirate. She’s Jay Ferin, navigator and co-captain of the Albatross. She is so many things. For years she’s loved and hated everything to do with her last name, and then there’s Chip and Gil. Chip and Gil, who love her. Who are there for her. Who fucking support her. She…she feels so fucking happy with them
#yea ig you could say i love albatrio#albatrio#jrwi riptide#jrwi albatrio#jrwi chip#jrwi gillion#jrwi jay

New "Murphy's Law" arc started!
Murphy's law = anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
More story under the cut. CW: blood and body horror (?)
-Today my classic self called me, the one everyone calls "Wiz". He wanted to meet me in private.
-He said that... after all I'm better than him.
-I did many mistakes in my life. When my timeline was still affected by resets, before... Flowey started using them to torture me, I spent those time loops doing "social experiments".
-I called them that, but it was just me doing somethin' stupid to see the reaction of passersby. I was very bored.
-But no, my other self went more far. Now he started real experiments on other monsters, and not always safe ones. This is not part of his job, no, he's having FUN doing THIS!
-This disgusting creature is becoming just like him.
-I couldn't stand the stupid smirk of my doppelganger. I- I c-couldn't stand the idea of me and him being the same person. ... I probably got carried away... even though I told Sci I would never try to hurt my other self Wiz again.
-Yet he kept smiling. I can't stand him, I can't stand him, I CAN'T stand him.
-I needed someone to talk to, but I couldn't let my friends see me! I was too disgusted by him, by... myself to let them see me. And they couldn't know that I beaten him after what happened with Hacker!Error 505...
-Basic found Alex's body a few weeks ago in the Waterfall dump of an AU. When I found out I decided to heal her and hide her from Sci's jealousy. I love him, but I can't let him see her. I just want them both to be ok...
-I took Alex to my house to talk to her privately, but... my brother saw me, and he was holding his corpse.
-I used a special material to keep the corpse from rotting and hid it in my pillowcase until now. When I killed him it wasn't enough for me, I NEEDED to see his corpse, KNOW that he's DEAD and that he won't come back ever again!
-I started to panic, too many things were happening all at once. 1) What my disgusting doppelganger did, and that I beaten him. 2) Papyrus saw Alex in my arms, what if he were to tell Sci she's alive? 3) And now everyone would find out that I killed Flowey. This is a problem, because everyone tried to convince me that "I'd be as bad as Flowey if I had to get my revenge". ...This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
-But my friends would abandon me if they knew all this! This thought was drilling into my skull.
-Papyrus did his best to calm me down, but I couldn't stop crying, I couldn't ignore that sense of guilt and fear inside of me. I failed everyone...
-I thought I was hopeless once more. AND I WASN'T WRONG.
-When I realized Frisk hadn't been home in hours, I asked Papyrus where they were, and he said: "Sans... Frisk left this morning to go at the castle... You know they were preparing to sacrifice themselves for us. They couldn't wait anymore..."
-I rushed to the castle. But Frisk... was... dead... sitting on the throne.
-Despite everything their pale, bleeding corpse was still smiling...
-I brought the body to Asgore's house, there HAD to be something I could do to save them!!
-But... there wasn't...
-Asgore found me in his kitchen, I was completely out of me. I was so angry at him.
-Yet he spoke to me with a kind smile... He told me the barrier is now broken. He freed the human souls, but one wanted to stay.
-Sadly Frisk's body is too damaged to keep the soul, but I'll find a way to give them a body back, and I'll also find a way to tell everyone my secrets.
-I'm sorry, old lady. I wasn't able keep your promise... At least we can finally see the sun.
Sci's reactions to the truth ->
---------------------------
Author note: I wanted to specify that the new design is due to how much Hopeless doesn't want to look like Wiz anymore. And yes, Wiz is canonically an anti-hero in Underwizard.
Speaking of the other characters' clothing, they have only changed their clothes due to the passage of time. Papy modified Frisk's hoodie after it got damaged in a RP ♡
Thanks for reading this far, and sorry for any misspellings :'3

if you could save any character in AOT from dying, who would you save? not in terms of changing the plot or anything like that, but because you really like the character
That's a really hard question to answer, haha. There's so many tragic deaths in AoT, and an argument could be made about why every character that died should have lived.
I think maybe the most tragic death, to me anyway, was Sasha's, because she didn't choose to die. Hange and Erwin, as heartbreaking as their deaths were, at least had some agency in it. They chose the path that lead to each of their deaths, or were otherwise accepting of their deaths. But with Sasha, she didn't choose to die, or accept it. She was shot while believing she was going home and in a celebratory mood, even, happy that she had made it to the end of the mission with all her friends.
Of course, with Erwin, you wish he could have gotten to discover the truth. But I always think, if Erwin HAD lived to see what was in Eren's basement, while he might have initially been happy at finally having proof that his father had been right, it ultimately would have left him feeling disappointed and bereft, and I think his feelings of guilt would only have intensified. To realize he'd charged ahead so relentlessly, only to find out that the world beyond the walls hated them and wanted them all dead. That indeed the discovery of the truth didn't improve their position, but only made it worse. I don't know if Erwin would have been able to deal with the knowledge that he'd sent all those soldiers to their deaths, under the belief they were fighting to free humanity, only to exchange their original struggle for any even greater one. So, in the end, I think it was better for Erwin to die without ever knowing the truth. I think it only would have further deteriorated his mental state. There was a genuine relief in Erwin when Levi told him to give up on his dream and die. He was happy to be relieved of making the decision himself, happy to be told what to do, happy that Levi had freed him from the burden of being torn between his dream and duty, and especially the guilt he felt at wanting to pursue his dream. If the decision had been left up to Erwin, and he'd chosen to live to see what was in Eren's basement, I think it would have tormented him for the rest of his life. Levi allowed him to die a good leader, and that was as good an ending for Erwin as there could be.
And then of course Hange's death was also incredibly tragic, and the realization that she won't ever get to experience any more of the world, when she was such a genuinely curious person, is heartbreaking. But there's also an element of guilt in Hange's decision to go against the wall Titans. This feeling that she was failing to live up to her role as Commander, that she was responsible for leading them to where they were, and needing to take responsibility for it in order to ease her guilt. Of course, Hange wasn't actually responsible. Eren was. He lied to Hange when he accused her of forcing him to do what he'd done because of her failure to come up with a better plan, and that exacerbated Hange's sense of guilt, which in itself is a huge tragedy. Maybe Hange wouldn't have felt so compelled to go to her death if Eren hadn't said what he did to her. But either way, I think Hange felt she needed to sacrifice herself in order to fulfill her role as Commander. It's why Levi's so distraught at her language before she makes her decision, because it's the same sort of language Erwin was using. This idea of needing to fulfill ones "duty" by sacrificing ones self. Levi knew in that moment what Hange was planning. He knew she meant to die.
Anyway, yeah, I guess this isn't really an answer to your question. I wish all three of them could have lived. I wish Petra and Marco and all of Levi's OG squad could have lived, and Mike, etc... I also thought Nile Dok's death was really sad.
But I guess if I had to choose one character who got to live out of those who died, it would probably be Sasha, just because, again, there was no agency in her death.

Mermaids Tale - Chapter 6 (18+MDNI)
Sorry for the errors, not proofread. Had to retype everythign in the box, same old story, but it's here! :)
Shuttering at the image across as you tried your best to engage in fruitful conversation with the two girls in between you and the man staring you down, you tried not to let his gaze bother you, yet it was nearly impossible as the crave of his desires reeked out of his sockets. Was this because he was possibly an Adam? Is he even one?
Truth be told, you were reminded of your mother’s warning from years ago the moment you felt his touch, while being nowhere near water, yet it was odd. Base off the tone of your mother’s warning, you had felt that once you did come across an Adam, being able to feel the physical touch was one indicator, but you had thought that other indicators, major ones, would also be present.
Based off the family history and your mother’s tale, the Adams, once figuring that they were immune to the abilities of the sirens, to include the Sirens Edge, they began masking their visions and killing off every single one in order to save humanity. The masks were put together with a mesh netting that would lay over the eyes, to obscure the vision of the wearer, was intentionally issued by the ruling king in order to save the Adam’s from the effects of falling into a trance, a normal occurrence after witnessing a Siren’s beauty, Yet, upon the Adam’s battling with the maidens on land and sea, the Adams discarded their masks after finding it to be too complicated to fight with the protection inhibiting their sight. The moment they freed their sights from the masks, the appeal of the Siren’s did have an effect on the clan, yet it wasn’t the same as any other man. The Adam’s found themselves infatuated, obsessed, yearning to see more of the Sirens, to protect them, to love them, and to crave them. Deciding to refrain from killing the surviving brunch, the clan kidnapped and transported the remaining Sirens back to their estate where they kept them, forcing them to issue them sons and thus, continuing their unique bloodline.
With Heeseung, if he truly was a descendant of an Adam, surely, he would have exhibited traits of the same nature as his ancestors. Indeed, he was overly observant of you, staring at you, the darkness in his eyes appeared to be without life or vibrancy as it became dull, not a spark of his soul could be seen within the black iris that decorated his face. Despite his cold and eerie demeanor, he never put forth the action to try and do anything to you. Even though it had been weeks since you last saw him at your first meeting with him at the New Year’s Eve party, you were fearful that he would have tried to follow you, find you, and even appear at your door at some point. You even went as far as to install additional locks on your front door, yet nothing had happened. So perhaps…
‘Maybe he isn’t an Adam? Maybe he’s just more intense with his reaction to our appearance, more so than the average man. If he isn’t an Adam, there definitely is something strange about him.’
You carried on a mental note as you appeared to remain attentive to Jennifer, he was conversing with you about what song she should pick out to sing at the karaoke bar.
“Y/n? Y/n?”
“Uh..yes?”
“Silly, did you zone out on me? I was asking you to help me pick out a song. I want to sing something for Jay.”
Noticing that Martha was on the floor, dancing and singing a duet with Jake, you were too engrossed in your mindful thoughts that you hadn’t realized that Jennifer was asking you a question.
“Oh I’m sorry, that damn heart burn again. Ummm….what about this one?”
As you leaned in slightly taking a closer peek at the list of songs that sat delicately on her lap, you brushed the tip of your finger along the list, pointing out to a popular love song.
“Oooh, good choice, but I’m not sure if I’m good enough to sing that one.”
“Try.”
“Should I?”
“Yes.” Chuckling as you did your best to be supportive and giving your friend the vote of confidence, you patted her on the back as you reassured her that she would be fine.
“Oh okay, but only if you sing with me.”
“Oh Jennifer, I can’t. Remember I got a sore throat, and my heart-“
“Just the backup vocals then. You don’t have to sing as the main vocalist, just be my backup singer with Martha, please?” she pouts at you while holding your hand, which you had found adorably sweet and didn’t have the heart to reinstate your claims of a sore throat and refusing to sing, thus you agreed.
‘I’ll just sing quietly and won’t be too forceful with my voice.’ You thought to yourself as you straightened your seated posture.
“Alright, Heeseung you’re next, then it’s Jennifer’s turn.” Jay states, issuing the mic towards Heeseung, who had remained seated in his spot from where he had observed you in an overwhelming manner. His arms crossed, the man looked at Jay with a stoic expression, merely taking a second before he lifted his chin and stood up, removing his black suit jacket, he rolls the sleeves of his long, white sleeves a quarter way up, revealing the lean features of his extremities along with the veins that trailed along them. It would appear he either worked out or was in a career that required strength and agility, as the man was lean, tall, and broad at the shoulders and chest. Though the slinky white shirt he had was of a semi-thick knitted fabric, his back muscles were very noticeable as you and the girls watch him walk over to the front of the floor, with his back facing you.
“Heeseung is very handsome, isn’t he?” Martha whispered to Jennifer, ensuring that Jake wouldn’t hear.
“Not that I’m gawking or anything, I think Jake is so handsome too. It’s just Heeseung has a different type of attraction, no?” Martha once again spoke, issuing for you and Jen to put in your two cents from her inquiry.
“I get what you mean. He and Jay are similar sometimes, they both have a sharp, bold appeal. Jake is like a loveable and prince charming type. Jay can have this dangerous, and sexy appeal, but for the most part, he’s a goofy soul and I love him for it. Heeseung though, he’s always got that dark and intense attraction.” Jennifer gave a detailed account of each man’s unique attractive feature, earning a chuckle out of you as your gaze remained on the floor. Not once issuing a look back up at the man.
“What about you, y/n? What do you think?” The girls inquired.
“Hmm? Oh…I actually don’t really pay attention to that kind of stuff.”
“Oh come on! I know you don’t date but-“
“Wait, y/n doesn’t date?” Martha innocently interjects Jen as the latter’s statement caught her by surprise.
“Oh yeah, y/N is a complete loner.” Jen remarks as she chuckles while playfully holding your arm.
“Really? Oh….but you’re so….you’re like really pretty.” Martha gazes at you.
“I know! That’s what I said.” Jen remarks.
“The first time I met you at the event, I was so jealous when I saw you because I never saw anyone who looked like you before. You have such unique features. Are your parents foreign? Like, are they a unique or rare ethnicity?” Martha begins to inquire.
You merely tell a white lie and claim that your family line wasn’t of anything special, that you were just genetically blessed.
“Oh but…even your jewelry though. I noticed some of the pieces you wear….they’re like nothing I’ve ever seen.”
“Oh yeah, I was going to ask you y/n, where do you did you get that gold choker that you wore that one time we went to the coffee shop on 5th street? I really like it.”
“Yeah, I would like to know where you got your bracelet.”
The girls took turns inquiring of the subtle gold décor you graced yourself with on your outings, they were heirlooms that were passed down from the women in your mother’s family. You mentally cursed yourself for not considering that the uniqueness of their appeal was due to the Sirens digging up the lost treasures of the Spartan Island, where pieces such as these were a one of a kind, once belonging to the ancient queens and princesses of Greece.
“Oh…umm….huh. Actually, these belonged to my great grandmother, I’ve had them for a while now.”
The girls formed a pair of ‘ohs’ as they widened their eyes at the history of the pieces.
“Wow. But…I’m still shocked that you don’t date. You’ve never dated? Not once?”
“N-no…I just…you know, I get so busy, and I’ve learned to love the independence.” You tried to joke, earning puzzling smirks and looks from the pair. Unaware as you were focusing your gaze at the two girls, Heeseung, who had overheard the entire conversation as he waited for his song to be input by Jay and Jake, turns his face to the side, revealing his side profile to your direction, noticing that you were too occupied by the girls to watch him. He stares from the side, narrowing his eyes as he intakes the information you shared with the others.
“Okay man, here Jay and I picked a good song for you, we haven’t heard it in a minute.”
As the song began, Heeseung slightly smirked as he recognized the tune.
“Ah, yeah it has been a while since we heard this one, huh?” Heeseung lowly remarks.
Hearing the calm tune of a guitar playing, the girls recognize the song and exclaim how much they liked it.
“Oh I love this song!”
“Me too!”
You watched, not recognizing the song, of course, you had a different taste in music than most people. Listening in as the lights grew dim, you hear the sweet sound of Heeseung’s singing voice, which was completely different from his usual, low, and deep tone that he spoke with.
“One touch and you got me stoned, higher than I’ve ever known. You call the shots and I’ll follow-oh-oh-oh.”
‘His voice…’
There was an effect to his tone, it was soft, airy, and caressed your soul. It appealed to you, though you remained composed to not let it show as you remained seated still, your arms still crossed and the glare in your eyes continue to put up the barrier to which you hid behind.
Suddenly from your peripheral vision, you caught sight of movement. You turn your head and saw something that was familiar, yet…
“I-I…I want…”
“My…my love…”
You watched as both Jennifer and Martha began to stumble out of booth seating, practically crawling on the floor as their mouth remained parted, issuing out stuttered words of “want” and “love”. Their tone was of ultimate desire for…Heeseung?
Your eyes widened, your mouth follows suit as you witness the trance of the two, which was very similar to that of the reaction the men had to your singing voice that day at the park.
‘What…in the world?’
You broke the composure of your posture as you reach forward and grab Jen’s arm, pulling her back to look at her face.
“Jen…Jennifer, look at me.”
Your eyes widened even more the moment you saw that the pupils in her eyes were near full expansion, practically covering the entire brown color of her iris as she stared into the wide abyss. Almost as if she had a disease, her face kept turning to the direction of Heeseung, not wanting to look at anything but him.
“Heeseung stop! Stop!”
“Hold off bro!”
You hear the voices of Jake and Jay, who turn the lights on from the dimmed state, and walk over to attend the girls. Jay kneels beside Jen, gently caressing her as you carefully handed her to him, while Jake had peeled Martha off the floor, who had continued to crawl over towards Heeseung as he remained standing with his backside towards you and the girls. Her arm fully extended as if she was reaching for his feet.
Heeseung turns, wide eyed as he sighs.
“Well…I did it again…” he simply remarks. Sounding disappointed and casually tossing the mic over on the chair nearby, he crosses his arms and takes two steps towards the couples.
“Are they okay?” he genuinely inquires, while looking at the ground, seemingly guilty.
“Yeah, they’re fine.”
You observe as both Martha and Jen’s eyes began to reveal color once more as their pupils narrow back down from their dilated state.
“W-what the…?”
“Jake?...Oh Jake…”
The girls came too, yet there was something odd. They were panting, breathing hard as they recovered, but their demeanor was far from how they were before the scenario went down. Watching as they loop their arms around each man’s neck, they overflowed them with passionate kisses and whines of lust. With a yearning gaze, the girls expressed how much they wanted their respective man at that very moment, in which both, Jay and Jake, scoffed nervously in an embarrassing state a they began to remind their girls.
“Babe…not here. When we get home we-“
“No! Jay…please! I need you now. Please…please take me…”
What is this? You’ve never seen her act like this before. The woman was ovulating with the overflow of euphoric passion as she tried to initiate physical intimacy, in which Jay gracefully restrains her, reassuring that they would go home soon. Jake was doing the same with Martha, who appeared to have the same reaction as Jen.
Looking up at you from his kneeling position on the floor, as you remained on the booth seat, Jay asks if you were alright.
“You okay y/n? You seem….fine.” he remarks somewhat puzzled.
“Y-yeah…um what?” you weren’t able to finish your question as you sat pointing at Jennifer as she tightly embraces Jay, his arms wrapped around her as he rubs the back of her head.
“Oh…it’s…well.”
“Heeseung drives the girls crazy whenever he sings.” Jake issues out, somewhat laughing nervously as he gazes up at the taller man, who remained looking at the floor with an emotionless expression on his face.
“Is that so?” you remark silently, too silent. You weren’t even sure if they others heard you.
“We haven’t done karaoke in a minute, I guess we didn’t’ realize it. But yeah, he drives the girls wild, but then they always get….ready for us. Heeseung, not gonna lie man, I’m not sure if I should be angry with you or thanking you.” Jake laughs as he jokes. Jay smirks as he chuckles while resting his face against Jen’s hair.
It didn’t take but just a few moments, but Jennifer and Martha came back to their normal state. Reassuring that they were alright. Both were deeply embarrassed; it took more time for them to open back up and begin talking than it did for them to regain composure. The men had insisted that you all call it a night, but Jennifer stated that she wanted to at least sing her song before they leave. Everyone agrees and Jake inputs her song.
“Y/n…please come up with me and Martha.”
Reminding you that you were her backup singer, you swallow a gulp before standing up and walking with the two, grabbing a mic and standing off to the side. Heeseung was back at his seated spot, his arms crossed as he leaned back in a relaxed state, legs spread wide open, looking far too relaxed yet his eyes widened, and his brows raised up the moment he saw you stand and prepare to sing along with the girls.
“Alright! Yeah! Let’s go!” Jay and Jake chimed, whistling, and encouraging the three of you with their utmost support.
Heeseung tilted his head and his wide eyes grew somewhat narrow as his lids looked to be heavy all of a sudden, his shocked expression was replaced with an intriguing one as he slightly smirks, his eyes directly focused on you. Hoping that no one, especially him, would notice, your body began to tremble knowing full well that he was eyeing your body up an down.
‘Please…stop looking at me like that.’
‘I don’t know what it is or why…but something tells me you are mine.’
You turned your gaze as the song began, letting Jennifer and Martha lead the way, you stood off smiling at the pair, as Jennifer provided the leading vocals while Martha chimed in for the backing. You were supposed to be singing along with Martha but wanted to test the waters to see how much you could get away with in not participating.
Jennifer noticed you standing off, merely observing her and Martha as the two smirked and grab on to you, encouraging you to sing.
Opening your mouth, you let out a faint, a very faint tone. It was intentional, you wanted to remain inconspicuous as much as possible as you released a vocal tone that had an echoing effect within the room. Despite your best intentions, your voice was far too noticeable as Jen and Martha both suddenly stopped, nearly dropping their mics as they gazed at you with sudden awe. Had you known they were going to be so abrupt with their reaction, you would have prepared yourself to stop yet you barely realized in time as you noticed that your voice was the only one that could be heard in the room. Looking off to the side to witness the girls staring at you, the music kept playing in the background as you lowered the mic.
“Mmm…uh..” you began stuttering.
“Y-y/n….” Jen let out a breathless tone as she speaks your name.
“Your voice…”
Just then, Martha’s squeal snaps you out of an excuse you were trying to formulate in your head once more.
As you gazed at the sight before you, you witness both Jay and Jake, appearing to have the same reaction as Jen and Martha, the two were on their hands and knees as they lightly crawled over to your direction.
“A-anything…for…for you.”
“Love…love…I love.”
Their eyes were dull, their pupils fully dilated. They’re mouths fully opened as they continued to make their way over.
Issuing out a disturbed and puzzling look your way, before assessing their men, Martha and both Jen had never seen this type of reaction before.
“Jay? Baby?” Jen remarks, shaking Jay as he began to come back. Jake as well, for you had stopped singing just in time. The sudden shock of fear rises within you as you figured that, had you used your voice in full, they wouldn’t have been shaken out of the delirious state that they were crawling in.
Heeseung was standing, watching the whole thing go down when suddenly he raised his head, his mouth slowly parts open, and he gazes at you. His eyes were wide, the expression was a cross between shock and a hint of realizing something.
With the same reaction that occurred within the girls, Jay and Jake began to caress and express their desire to Jen and Martha. Overwhelmed by the sudden power of lust and euphoria, both of them had remained weak in the knees as they began ravishing the girls with their kisses.
Nervously chuckling, but also understanding as they were having the same feeling just moments prior, the girls walked their men, issuing out apologies to you and Heeseung as they prepared for their abrupt departure.
“y/N, I’m so sorry, will you be okay to get a ride back?” you waved your hand and ushered her that you were fine, as she nervously smiles while Jay pulls her in at the waist and begins to suck on her neck, in which she gently pushes him back issuing words for him to wait until they got back home. Martha and Jake were also going at it. Both the girls were extremely shock, yet pleasantly overwhelmed by the sudden and intense desire their partners had for them.
Jen had barely left the room while pushing Jay out as he latched on to her with his hands roaming her body. Just as her and Jays frame disappear from the room, you went to quickly grab on to your clutch wallet, and your coat to head out, not wanting to be in the room alone with Heeseung. Without saying a word, you reach for the doorknob, only to feel a strong pair of hands grab you from behind, causing you to drop both your coat and your wallet.
Gasping at the sudden feeling of touch, you never felt anything like this before. A pull of force, as the pair of hands gripping your arms, you stumble back as you felt the hands go from your arms to your waistline.
‘This…I’ve never felt this before. Is this what Jennifer feels everytime Jay grabs her?’
The lights in the room were still dimmed, all happening so fast, you felt a twisting motion as the hands forcibly, yet gently pushes you up against the wall, your back making full contact with the flat surface as you were forced to gaze at Heeseung who had a firm grip around your waist.
“What are you doing?” you glared at him.
Smirking as he gazed down at you with his almighty height, he speaks in a low and calm tone.
“You have a unique reaction every time I touch you.” he states.
Your eyes widened for a split second as you began to struggle to release yourself out of his grasp and to remove yourself from the wall.
“Let me go.”
“You never had a boyfriend before? Is this why you’re always so….expressive when you’re touched? Yet…when you shook Jake’s hand…or whenever Jay taps you on the arm, you barely react. They always have to say your name to get your attention. But when I touch you…”
He pauses mid-sentence as his hand grips the narrow part of your waist. He grabs on hard, and squeezes, causing you to gasp and pant with a look of fear and desire in your face. Your reaction was uncontrollable, this was all too new for you. Never had you felt anyone touch you, let alone touch you in this manner.
“S-stop…please!”
“Uh huh…when I touch you….you act like it’s the first time you’ve ever been touched.”
He leans in, his nose tip touching your cheek as your face remains off to the side, trying to look away from him.
“St-stop, Heeseung stop…”
His hands go from squeezing to wrapping around your lower back, pulling you in. Your pelvis connects with his groin as he pushes back, causing you to become trapped in between the wall and his frame. With a sweet and soft tune in his voice, he continues.
“Yeah?...Does it feel good?” His lips begin to make contact with your cheek as he gives a gentle, and tender kiss. So gentle, it was silent. Following suit, his lips remained on your skin as he gives off a slight, subtle circular motion as he exhales, making you feel the warmth of his breath as your cheek receives his fullest attention.
You refrained from answering him. It did feel good, but that’s what made you scared. Apart from never feeling this sensation before, the fact that he was doing it and recognizing the traits you displayed whenever, he, would touch you, had you panic internally.
“Let me know if it feels good…” he states, as he slips a hand underneath your shirt, causing you to gasp out your protests, which he ignored.
His cold hand swims upward, the roughness of his palm grazes your skin as he moves up, taking note that you didn’t wear a bra due to the thickness of the fabric, plus the open backside of the blouse, there was no need for you to wear one. Plus, you normally opted to not wear anything so restricting most of the time, it felt better for you, although this time, you wish you had among other things.
He breathes out a sharp exhale at noticing the lack of your undergarment, his open mouth still attached to your cheek as your face remains off to the side. You began to beg him to stop as your legs begin to tremble. With his hand under your shirt, he takes in a handful of the soft, silky soft skin that encompasses the full, round, and supple shape of your breast. Your skin was nothing like he’s ever felt before.
‘So soft…’
His mental note got the better of him as he issues a small squeeze, his thumb extending as it traces around the areola, occasionally gently flicking the nipple.
“No please! Stop. Stop! What are you doing?” You gasped out, the trembling of your body begins to move upward towards your chest, as he felt the vibration of this newfound desire you were trying so hard to resist.
“Tell me…does it feel good?” he whispers against your cheek.
Realizing that he was relentless in knowing the effect he had on you, while also catering to his desire as it was evident the man had yearned for you let alone become infatuated with your appearance, you nervously nodded while keeping your face off to the side, refusing to look at him. As you nodded, you felt the skin of his lips tapping against your cheek as he remained so close and intent on latching on to you like a leech.
“Yeah?...Keep telling me…”
He massages your breast, you started up to struggle against being trapped once more, this time, his free hand takes your hand, bending your arm in a natural state at the elbow, he pins your forearm to your back side as he grips your wrist, seemingly holding you in a wrist lock from behind. You felt the tears collecting in your eyes as you felt hopeless. The sensation was too much, it was…it felt good. But you were too scared, and far too proud to admit it since it was him.
Pinning you in a position where escape was unfathomable, his hand releases your breast as he drags it downward. The callouses on his palm scratches against your soft skin, you slightly wince as that was also a sensation you’ve never felt. Whether it was pain or pleasure, everything was all new and earned a first-time reaction from you.
“P-please…”
“I know baby, I know.” He whispers, you had the vibe that he knew that you were pleading for him to stop, yet he responded in a manner as if he understood you differently. You’re not sure if he was being malicious or if he genuinely misunderstood, although something told you it was the first instinct.
“No…please…stop.”
He releases a long and slow gasp against your cheek with a wide-open mouth, a hint of a low growl accompanies it as you felt a chill ride up your spine. His hand continues to drag down as he makes his way to slide under your skirt, his fingertips dragging and catching against your mesh, thigh high stockings, which were connected to the black matching garter belt you wore underneath your clothing. Delight in the sexy lingerie you had on, despite you wearing it for functional purposes to avoid your stockings from sliding down, he took great delight in looping a finger onto one of the straps of your garter, pulling it away slightly, and releasing it to snap against your thigh.
“Stop!” you yelped, the suddenly smack of the metal ring and the strapping material caused a bursting reaction as it was also a new feeling you’ve never felt before.
Smirking against your skin, feeling intrigued and somewhat joyful at your reactions to everything that he was doing, he continues. Despite your pleas for him to stop.
His hand continues to roam upward, you shuddered as he becomes close to an area that you’ve never been touched before, let alone felt. Scooting your panties off to the side, he strokes the bare and soft slit in the center. You nearly screamed, the feeling it was….
Realizing that you’ve never even knew the sensation of wearing panties, having materials such as leggings, pants, or underwear rubbing against your skin, the absolute first time you experience physical touch down there, was with this man’s fingers.
You were speechless, it was so sensational. The fear within you begins to disappear as this new feeling was….you wanted more.
But you remained steadfast in your pleas for him to stop, yet he continues, deeply sensing by the way you breathed out, the way your moans softened, and the way you barely kept your face off to the side, for a split moment, you nearly faltered as you faced forward, eyeing his lips, only to turn it back off to the side abruptly, catching yourself.
“Ple-please….mmm…stop.”
“You don’t really want me to stop, do you?”
“St-…..stop….”
“No baby.”
“Please…”
Leaning his head down to kiss you tenderly at the nook of your neck. The kiss, was the sweetest you had ever heard or seen, since you opted to watch romance movies, yet you never expected to ever have one placed on you, much less feel it. It felt like the wings of a butterfly tapping on your skin, it felt so good. It was so good. You wanted to feel good some more. You wanted it. You wanted more.
‘I want more. Give me more. Uhhh…I’ve never felt this. Please…don’t stop….whatever I say please don’t listen. Please keep going, don’t stop doing these things to me. I’ve…I’ve missed out on so much.’
As you remained proud with your protests, you released your deepest desires in your mind.
His fingers stroke you, an up and down motion as he takes his thumb to perform circular movements on your clit, causing you to bite your lip. You hoped he didn’t see that, yet….he did.
“Yeah?” he places another warm, a tender and sweet kiss on your once more before moving back up to your cheek. Feeling the vibration of his voice as his lips remained on your skin, he speaks, his voice slightly muffled as he issues his words with his mouth attached to you.
“Be mine…won’t you? There’s something about you…about us….we belong together.”
Moaning, you were falling into his words. Belong? Be his? With the way he was touching you, you were finding yourself to want nothing more.
“Come with me. Be mine forever, I’m already yours. You have all of me….you’ve been having all of me. It’s been torture ever since the day I met you.”
You begin to quake, his fingers pick up the pace as you felt a tingling sensation form inside your gut, another new feeling.
“Uh….I….I” you stuttered, trying to respond, his mouth still attached to your cheek.
“God…I know baby. It gets better, I can make you feel good…so good. I’ll live to bring you joy. Come with me, my goddess…my Aphrodite….come.”
Continuously stroking your slit with his rough fingers, he relentlessly bids you to be his. You nearly cave in fully when all of a sudden you snapped back at the thought of your mother’s warning…
‘Run…y/n.’
Unsure of why the thought suddenly popped into your head, perhaps it was because you knew you were about to accept his demand…
‘Yes…I was….I can’t…I can’t do that!’
Finding any bit of strength within you, you struggled once more. Since he too was also relishing in the moment, albeit sensing you caving in, he had let his guard down and you were able to break free, pushing his hand away from under your skirt and sliding away from being trapped against the wall.
Stunned and with an emotionless expression, he merely stood there facing the wall that you were just pinned to a moment ago. You barely took any time to stay back and observe as you quickly grabbed your belongings and rushed out. Not saying a word to him.
He stood there for a moment, feeling a bit defeated yet…a small chuckle emerges from his smirk, and he tilts his head back and sighs.
“Almost…almost." scoffing as he used his thumb to graze over his lips, the sweet scent of you hitting his nose, a tint of the moisture that developed in between your folds glosses over his mouth.
'I dont know what it is...but something tells me you're mine...and you know something that I dont...dont you y/n?'

Makoto's Soul, Aikoto & "Eternity"
I've been talking about this since at least 2015, but I just realized I've never made a thread to tie everything together.
TL;DR I think that once Makoto's soul is freed from the seal, his soul will move onto "Eternity". I also think Atlus has foreshadowed that his soul and Aigis' will eventually reunite there.
This post will have spoilers from all of the games involving Persona 3. So, here we go!
The Background
We all know that after the events of P3, Liz set out on a mission to "save" Makoto. There has been a lot of theorizing about whether this involves bringing Makoto back to life or not, but to me it's pretty clear that it doesn't. After all, The Answer outright told us that Makoto had a funeral, which means he does not have a physical body to return to anymore.
I think... I'm finally at peace with losing him... Odd... for some reason, the tears are only now coming... I should have attended his farewell... I was so foolish, locking myself away. Looking back, I remember that Metis would cry... To think I had discarded such a basic emotion...
When Liz says that she wants to save him, she means that she wants to save his soul from the fate of being The Great Seal. The reason for this is obvious, as The Answer shows us that in its efforts to get to Nyx, Erebus tries to tear Makoto away from the door.
It goes without saying that Erebus breaking the Seal equals Erebus breaking Makoto's very soul, thus making him disappear forever.
[...] the soul can still be harmed
As such, this is the fate Liz is trying to save him from.
The How
How Liz will attain this wish of hers is anyone's guess. However, one thing is for certain: this miracle can only be attained by joining forces with the rest of the cast.
Pretty much every game that has addressed Liz's journey has set-up this very fact. My personal theory is that once Atlus is ready to retire the "Neo" Persona cast, they will likely reunite the main players in a game where one of the objectives will be to free Makoto's soul from the seal. This way, we will see a fitting conclusion where the bonds forged between each cast will bring forth the miracle that sets Makoto free. But I digress!
Going back to my main point, Liz has been set up to request help from the rest of the cast. However, there is one person Atlus has outright set-up to join Liz in her quest, and that person is Aigis.
This is once again foreshadowed in P3D, where Liz happens to mention her dream right as she is talking to Aigis and Makoto.
So we can be certain that — unless their plans change — Aigis will be one of the main players involved in freeing Makoto's soul from the seal.
Which finally brings me to my actual theory!
Eternity (永遠)
I believe that once Makoto is freed from the seal, his soul will finally be able to move onto the afterlife. As per Persona Q, this is called Eternity.
"Where all life is born and returns to..."
My theory is that Atlus have been setting this up since Persona Q, which was also directed by Hashino — just like Persona 3.
And to give things an Aikoto spin... Aigis just so happens to be the one to ask what "Eternity" is all about. Which is very fitting, because Zen and Rei parallel Aigis' and Makoto to an uncanny degree.
Zen is an otherworldly being (aka, non-human) whose duty brings him to Rei (a human) in order to ferry her to the afterlife. However, one thing leads to another and they lose their memories. They then go on living together, nonethewiser to the truth, and we get things like these:
Zen essentially goes through Aigis' entire character arc, including slowly coming to realize that he has changed and what keeps him by Rei's side isn't duty, but his desire to be there.
The parallels are so strong that (as you can see above) some of their lines are pretty much the same.
Which leads me to this:
Through his bond with Rei, Zen develops an actual soul capable of parting with her to Eternity. And that's what they do at the end of the game.
So this very long parenthesis has been to say: I think we may one day see the same thing for Aikoto.
After all, we have been told multiple times that Aigis is alive now:
It's only natural that once she passes on, her soul will also join the place where all life returns to.
Now, there are a couple of ways in which this could play. If Liz' mission were to take "eons" of time and Aigis' soul is only hanging onto her worn-down body by a thread, then it's likely that she will rest only after Makoto has been saved from his fate, which could lead us to something like this.
If their journey actually takes place only a few years from now, then Aigis will likely stick around until the last of SEES are gone.
Whatever the case, unless Atlus plans change (which is indeed possible, specially considering Makoto's popularity), it seems safe to assume that Aikoto will be eventually reunited there.
#aikoto#persona 3#persona q#aigis#makoto yuki#games#pq#arena#meta#don't get me started on all of aikoto's ties to “eternity”#like love through all eternity#but I didn't really check PQ's Japanese script so lol#if aigis hangs back to wait for sees then it's possible makoto may reincarnate and run into her in that way#after all they're fated to meet#but that would be kind of weird so I'd rather imagine makoto waiting for her so they can reincarnate together lmao

MASTERPOST
So here is some things about the Young Bones AU:
-this is just a small lil idea of just the whole kindness is a virtue type of vibe
-timeline is s2 special but also during s2
-Bái Lù in this AU will be an only child to Mayor
-her name will be Bái Lù so its more connected to a White Dew tea
-She has also a hidden ability similar with hibiscus herb that's associated with her.
-So Lady Bone Demon in this AU has no human form, just a pure projection of herself. She wants Bái Lù as a host since chief of war found his . It's a cat and mouse game for Bái Lù and LBD but she's making the Mayor do the chasing
-Mayor is a necromantic puppet, so as soon as he passed, instantly has his soul trapped by LBD so the Chief of War can be reborn
-Who freed her? Syntax did. Unspidery during the beginning of things
-Mayor was hiding the fact he was sick from his daughter to not make her worry. Plus also to do the typical dad thing of just 'your cooped up in this house go on out and mingle' kind of thing being an only child
-that's what makes Syntax lean more towards trying to save his life by seeking a cure for illment.
-Syntax in this AU will be basically Mayor's armor and weapon. He comes across similar to Catch a Leaf, the same herb and plans to fetch it through his research and set out to find that having no idea of where the heck to go
-That is until your man syntax gets lured by a spider,a Spider Queen to be exact, but definitely more used as an empty vessel for LBD to lure nonturned Syntax to the cite of where the skeleton key is. Keep in mind the whole journey there he's constantly just a sassy brat about "y'know this isn't the type of place I'd imagine a key to be" "Whats so important about just a key, oh thats right. Nothing." and this boils possessed Spider Queen because all she cares about is him opening the coffin so she just responds with "Your following me because of your curiosity and false righteousness.
-Syntax refuses to open the actual coffin of LBD once finding the key, possessed Spider Queen thinks up a deal to strike. She'll help him locate the herb, and he can keep the key for himself. He agrees.
-Bái Lù in the meantime is mainly spending her time at the noodle shop, everyone knows of her because they think her dad is neglecting her. But they never say it outloud to her. Pigsy seeing that she's constantly coming to the shop alone starts asking 'what's up with the Mayor amiright?' And then it's like she's petting Mo as he says that and like her face is like 'wait a minute, he NEVER turns down homemade noodles".
-She only starts to realize that through talking to everyone, her dad is declining, but she's determined to find out herself from a health expert
-That health expert being Syntax
-He's back in the city, and sees the daughter of the Mayor waiting at the doorway of his laboratory, it's late in the evening and invites her in and calls the Mayor just to notify where she was in case he got worried (he was)
-Baī notices the herb and asks if it's for someone. "Like tea wise sorry someone with a lot of cats showed me the process."
-Syntax plucked a petal to show it off more. " Yes, it is...I believe your father is sick and might possibly..no longer be with us."
-"What do you mean..?
"....Let me make you some tea, ms." He uses that pedal to make a cup of tea for her and told her everything. She drinks that tea and is immune to any type of possession in her spirit
-in this AU Mystic Mayor will be taking a more hauntingly just always there type of role and more traits of a cheif of war hunting down their enemy down to the nose
-I am making LBD reincarnate the Chief of War have a complicated relationship as a separate thing in its own
-Mayor passes on that night, and gets reincarnated right in front of Bái Lù and now we got Mystic Mayor
-Lady Bone Demon tries to posses but fails (she got bested by a child lol)
-To make things worse, when Baí Lú came back to the laboratory to tell Syntax what happened, he told her to get the key and that things won't be the same.
-Macaque in this AU has his own theater trope cuz I just want him to take pride in something that he doesn't copy from Wukong
-Mac is very distant with Baí Lù at first but then warms up to her in his disguised form eventually offering a job for her. Realizing also how she’s like his inner child the immediate protective instincts kick in being a found baba to Bai Lu
-He still got snark and witty sarcasm about his relationship with Wukong but doesn't reveal to her who he actually is cuz, trust issues
-He wanted to pranked her at first by saying the position for the job would be a janitor position and Bài Lù just coming from seeing her father hunt her down and Syntax getting turned she's just like "Sure but I can't clean up after the shadows of my mistakes :'D' and that was enough to get the job. But to also watch over her and be all ‘talk shit about me all you demons want, but the SECOND you utter my daughter's name, haha run.’
-Qi Xiaotian in this AU is going to be Wukong's successor still as the Monkie Kid, but kind of shadowing over him and actually disguises his monkie form
-He knows Bái Lù from the shop and also running into her because of her cat trying to catch a bird with a monkey tail following him when delivering orders
Has questions. Like how does one not get possessed by the Lady Bone Demon.
-if anything QXT just wants to know how this happened with Mystic Mayor letting LBD control him. He follows Baí Lù and sees her enter the dojo one time and immediately thought Macaque was the one to blame for letting LBD out.
-So he pops in whenever she is alone outside of the dojo to keep her away from Macaque and starts to pry in how she thinks she didn't get possessed
-Sun Wukong in this AU is not retired, but acts like he is. Still got some over confidence and his staff.
-He got nightmares comin to him too since LBD has been released, and they all involve with being shown mercy by his master.
-Sun though would do anything to keep his mind busy just to not remember the Lady Bone Demon.
- Sun's relationship with Macaque is exactly the Sun and the Moon fueled with them being protective to their given humans.
-He met the daughter of the Mayor by one of the shadow portals and she just crashed into Flower Fruit Mountain by another close call from Mystic Mayor
-and she was beyond frightened, so I'm keeping the fact too that Wukong is great with kids. He just assumes Macaque "accidentally" shadow yeeted someone and doesn't even wanna know. Like he just hears a thump of someone face planted in the waterfall and thinks it's MK, until he sees someone else waddling out of the waterfall, upset and shaken up from Mystic Mayor finding her. But she doesn't share this.
-Bonding time happens and he realizes that this was the same kid MK told him about and something about it being a Mayor and Lady Bone Demon coming...back--
-He's furious cuz not only is he upset that she's back, but Macaque is back
-But in the end he is still able to put his differences aside if it's to keep Bài Lù from becoming someone's prisoner.
-What gets him to reconsider is because of remembering the dreams regarding being merciful, and it's something the Monk did to seal LBD in the first place
-Mr. Tang, my man in Young Bones AU is quite literally served as a bookmark. Like even with him being a linguist, there's still the golden cicada that is very present in his studies that help with him basically time travel.
-He only works with the mystic law of the universe and is unironically not letting Wukong's master soul rest, which he is aware of
-How he is apart of the story is being Bai Lu's guide into looking at the bigger picture of everything and to never stop asking questions, even to the ones that don't always have an answer.
-Pigsy in this AU is not just protective of Bai Lu, but a big BIG advocate of the youth speaking their truth, all thanks to his own fostering experience with learning who MK really is.
-Pigsy is dense man, like he is surprised still at how Tang is interested in someone like him that has quite a temper. Also knowing full well that Tang is unawaken and tries to get him to his full potential
-He is a huge softy to Bai Lu though not because of her title of the kid of the Mayor, but because she respects his craft and is very fond of her stubbornness and determined attitude.
-hates the Mayor all because he suspects the "living" Mayor neglecting and abusing Bai Lu at home and that doesn't sit quite well with him.
-Sandy and Mo in this AU are of course the nicest duo and serve as the teachers for Bai Lu to defeat her demons and the threats against her, which he knows takes a life-time. Its actually because of Bai Lu that he began adopting cats as therapy animals so, he’s always in her corner.
-Long Xiaojiao in this AU is much much muuuch less combative and more mature in her own identity. She has big sibling vibes just as much as MK but knows more of her dragon form instead of being discrete. Oh yeah, and she can directly help Bai Lu with either tai chi or astral protection to help with the feeling of helplessness.
-Also would chuck her motercycle no questions
-Red Son in this AU is the bull demon’s prince of demons so he’s going to suspect that Bai Lu having the skeleton with her is just working with the lady bone demon, having a bit of an edge on the one time DBK got possessed so doesn’t trust her
-Until the underground begins to get in the way of his dealings that he learns that it was not the girls fault, and he sees the same neglectful energy with Mayor and his daughter
-and yes he has a bull demon form with full samadhi fire guardian

CHAPTER 15 - She’s Come Undone and Set Free - Angry BAMF Elena Fic
relationships: elena/elijah, elena & rebekah, elena & caroline, elena & bonnie, caroline/klaus, bonnie/rebekah
summary:
She’d been free. Freed from a conscience she couldn’t afford to give up again. Free from the grief she’d never actually wanted to abandon, not until the choice was taken from her. But also free from the two brothers that had been taking choices away from her from the moment they’d come to town.
And she didn’t want to give that freedom up. She wouldn’t. Not ever again.
/or/
When Elena feels her humanity returning she finds herself focusing on having finally been free from the Salvatore brothers, and doesn't abandon her justified anger. Unfortunately, she also realizes that her sire bond to Damon isn't fully broken and goes to Rebekah for help, help that involves a little trip to New Orleans.
On the way, Elena will have to deal with her newly returned humanity as well as some long-awaited truths about Caroline's old relationship with the older Salvatore.
There are some things that even the most compassionate person could never forgive.
read on AO3:
Ch1 | Ch2 | Ch3 | Ch4 | Ch5 | Ch6 | Ch7 | Ch8 | Ch9 | Ch10 | Ch11 | Ch12 | Ch13 | Ch14 | Ch15 | ...
sneak peek:
It was hard thinking about her relationship with Klaus in the future sense of the word. Maybe because that future stretched into the kind of length that was impossible to comprehend while her mortal life was only a few chapters behind her.
The idea of a future, any future was so abstract. Like standing in a museum and looking at paintings in pitch blackness. She knew that they existed, that the walls were covered in works of art but she wouldn't be able to describe them to save her life.
But it was painful to imagine Klaus and what he meant to her wholly in the past tense either.
And so she remained in that building. Waiting for the sun to rise, because leaving without getting a chance to see what it would look like felt like robbing herself of something that might be the most beautiful thing she'd ever see.

Christ's sacrifice on the cross fulfilled prophecies, freed us from the old covenant (that would be what your friend was talking about with the animal sacrifices), and reconciled us in our fallen nature to God our heavenly Father. Why would God want to prevent the fulfilment of a prophecy of our redemption through his Son? You can find really clearly broken down explanations with simple Google searches. or even on Youtube, if reading isn't your thing.
[Continued in second anon]:
also, catholics don't believe that people capable of change are condemned to hell... that's sort of the whole shindig of purgatory.
it seems like the issue wasn't that you were "too much of a fag" to stay, but rather when the questions you had weren't addressed by those in your immediate circle of influence you decided it was all bogus. cause these are good questions! good questions that have been answered hundreds of times over hundreds of years beginning with the early church fathers
[This is in reference to a post I made about how I feel Jesus died for no reason and that my childhood in Catholic school failed to explain it to me. I wrote "thank goodness I was too much of a fag to stay."]
I mean I very much was too much of a fag to stay - the Catholic Church is not kind to queers, and there's a reason every one of my queer friends who grew up Catholic is no longer part of the Church. Lil Nas X knows what's up! Better to rule in Hell and all that. My girlfriend often talks about how she believes if she was raised Catholic as an autistic queer, she would not have lived to adulthood. I agree with her. The shame of it all would have destroyed her. So I very much was and AM too faggy to be a Catholic, and I am immensely grateful for this because I was very very unhappy in the Church.
But actually, the initial reason I had a long agonizing crisis of faith and then dropped it entirely was actually a thought that occurred years before my realization of my own queerness would have forced me either out of the Church anyway or else deep into dangerous self-loathing.
I think the actual heart of the question that destroyed my faith is this:
Is God omnipotent, or not? And if yes, why does he need us to suffer?
Because if he's not omnipotent, then all of this makes sense to me. The whole theology, I mean. Horrible sacrifices had to be made to stop every human soul from going to Hell for all eternity. A long painful battle against the Adversary waged by the good God and his people! It would make sense that he had to suffer if there are other powerful forces at play that established the prophecies he is fulfilling!
But... if he wrote the prophecy..... then....... why? Someone has to write the prophecy in the first place, right? It's not impressive to fulfill your own prophecy, and it doesn't explain why he made one.
If God is not omnipotent, then of course child abuse exists in this world on a massive scale. He hates it and is doing his best to fight it! This fits with the picture of a loving and merciful God that I was taught in school.
But... if he IS omnipotent, then I need to know why child abuse exists. "Mysterious ways" won't cut it because that just means "it doesn't make sense and also maybe that suffering is actually necessary." Which is not an answer I will accept.
The thing that killed my faith was the idea that God cannot be both all-powerful AND kind.
And everything I have experienced about God's Love has been through threats of Hell. I don't think it's kind to save someone from Hell if you condemned them in the first place and also you created Hell. That sounds a lot like an abuser saying you ought to be grateful they didn't hit you and will let you make it up to them. It's a warped version of mercy.
The Catholic church has historically relied on and continues to rely on shame, fear, and social ostracization in order to gain funding and influence. These are very powerful weapons that they use very liberally - shame, fear, isolation - and as long as that Central Paradox I mentioned above continues to exist, then their claim to power and righteousness sounds awfully hollow.
Which brings me back to the concept of martyrdom. I was taught, in no uncertain terms, that sacrifice was something inherently holy. Even when it didn't help anyone! Lent was just a practice in self-denial. It was never clear why Jesus needed it from us.
I was told the only way to 100% be a good person is to never stop sacrificing myself, and even after I stopped believing in a god, this attitude remained deeply, poisonously rooted. (Thanks, Capitalism!) When I was 25, I worked myself nearly to death, and I'm still dealing with the permanent health consequences of that. So ingrained is this mindset in me.
Being gay helped me to avoid falling back into the Church because they hate queers so much, and I am so so grateful for that.
The day I decided God didn't exist, I remember feeling like I could breathe for the first time. I was free! I was loved! I was no longer alone! I no longer had to define my life around shame and guilt! It was terrifying, but also like going from a world full of gray to one full of color!
I think in the end, little 11-year-old me decided that if God was not kind, then I don't know what the point of him is.
And as much as it hurt, knowing that going back wasn't an option for me also helped me stay safe!! Thank goodness I am a dyke!!!
#child abuse#abuse#violence#religious trauma#original#catholic tumblr#come answer my paradox i want to know why this doesn't bother others#dimension 20#fantasy high#ally beardsley#< tagging with that stuff because part of the reason I'm having this revisitation of my old faith is their character in season 1#they play a D&D cleric who has a complete crisis of faith when their god can't answer why bad things happen to good people#their character is a complete wreck for the rest of the season and it's very funny and very well done#and as I understand it a little bit autobiographical#d slur#I didn't even get into sexuality here. the church hates sex but nobody's more obsessed with sex than Catholics. it is#restrictive and judgmental even to straight people and there's never a clear explanation besides God said so#i remember the first time it occurred to me that i could potentially grow up to be a whore.#AND I AM PROUD TO REPORT--#THE PROPHECY IS COMPLETE#hehehehee

The Abyssborn Part 6: Tannim
I said I was gonna save the boys for the final parts of this series but y'know what, I said it wasn't gonna be that many. So fuck it, we're doing it live!
Tannim is weirdo when it comes to being a Harbinger and a lot of that has to do with the shenanigans of his parents. He is the child to a human princess, Sybil Drakath and an Abyssborn. This Abyssborn in this lifetime was known as 'Raza' but Tannim knows him originally as 'Tatsuo.' Sybil was a Fateweaver and this is what drew his father to begin with. They were akin to childhood friends that Sybil had desired to be something more than that when they were older.
Tatsuo had been reluctant because of what she was and what he was. But Sybil was something well and truly different to him. So he remained at her side, even swearing himself to her service. And hers alone as he did not like nor trusted her family. And it was because of this bond with her, Tatsuo eventually made the offer to grant her a wish. She thought he was joking and initially said something silly but he genuinely wanted to grant her a wish. He could take her away from her tyrannical family, he could find her father's family, he could grant her access to travel the world beyond her tower. Anything within his power was hers.
Sybil realized the gravity of his words and wished to consider it. So that it she could answer him with the same sincerity he gave her. When she came back to him, Sybil told him that she wished for them to be together. To have a family that was for them, not her family not for what his kind usually had one for. For their little unit to be able to be the happiest they can. For them to be able to weather this life together from the time they met in the gardens until their last breaths, she wanted to have a life together. With a life that maybe their child could look back onto with a fondness.
Tatsuo never had something like that to be wished for. Something that so intimately involved him and the like. But, he did grant her wish and essentially started to live like the persona he had used to be able to see Sybil. But what was not known is that Sybil...had fulfilled an Abyssborn's purpose. She had granted him a place. A world that could be his own and a place to live and die as a person. She, essentially, freed Tatsuo.
And as the child of such a union, Tannim was also free as a Harbinger. His heart, his core is devoid of a true 'wish.' If there is technically a wish it's just that Sybil wished for Tannim to be able to find happiness. So Tannim actually should be highly unlikely to cause the same kind of trouble a regular Harbinger would.
The problem came from the fact that despite this freedom, this does not mean that either Tannim or Tatsuo were without power. Tatsuo was still an Abyssborn and thus he sensed Sybil was entering a situation that could be consider 'fate changing.' However because of the risk of it, as concerned lover, he intervened where he shouldn't have. And it ended up having the worst repercussions. Tatsuo didn't know what it would be or when it would show up.
But on the day of Tannim's birth, his mother was bleeding out while his father was out defending against a threat to prevent it from getting to the castle. And it was this bit of orchestration by her family, a truly cruel royalty, to get their surviving and winning black sheep out the picture. This was normal by any human's life. But Tatsuo coming upon the death of his wife and supposed death of his son, he knew this was his doing by interfering with fate. He left this world willingly to never return again.
And it was this grief that caused him to not realize that Tannim had survived. A chambermaid had stolen him away so that he was not murdered. So this act, Tannim lost a chance to know from the beginning what he was. He grew up thinking he was human with 'a bit of quirks.' That being his heritages.
As I said, his mother was a human. He didn't inherit much from her in the power aspect but he got nearly all his looks from her. His 'human' eye color, a color usually displayed by his willingness, his sadness or a sign that he is where he is much weaker or 'more human,' is a deep green and a sign of his royal blood. He also inherited clairvoyance from her. Sybil was a bastard princess with her mother only wanting a useful power and her having precognition was considered a boon. Tannim actually nerfed this on his own. By accident. He didn't understand he was seeing visions so he kinda was like 'now you stop that.' So ignored it until it stopped showing up. At the most, he can see a move or two ahead of his opponent in a fight.
As for his Abyssborn traits, it's mainly added to his strength and his endurance. It also gave him a ridiculous healing factor. It's high even for a Harbinger. But from his Harbinger nature has Tannim learned to travel to other worlds. And that is actually what Tannim that is on this blog has done. He essentially has taken himself from his original world and gone to one where he does exist. How it works with doing so, there was a sort of merging so that Tannim just lived the life 'he' would have had in this world.
His awakening was gradual but had exacerbated during his captivity as a 'resource farm.' He had nothing but his thoughts really, so he had time to ruminate and realize as to who he is. And when Andrei had come to save him, Tannim knew he needed that his path would eventually bring him to meet his friend. Although he didn't expect it to be so soon with himself and Noita. Tannim maintains a lot of his normal personality but both from how the 'him' of this world lives and how many times Tannim has run through with a world's conclusion, Tannim is a bit wiser than he was originally.
As for how many times Tannim has affected a world towards destruction...it wasn't an insane number but it also wasn't 'just once.' As such he's amassed a good deal of potential from the worlds he's 'thrown off.' His adapted race alone puts him on a level to deal with some 'gods.' But this amassing he might be stronger but because of his mainly pacifistic nature, he isn't doing to be doing a lot of destroying with it.
#{The Abyssborn}#it'll be straightfoward I said#you've done this before#it shouldn't be that long I said#ha#I have to split it

Tour de Tav’s
(Pt. 1)
Icarian of the Open Hand Temple
This is my current Tav called Icarian!
Race: Human
Class: Paladin (oath of Devotion, follower of Ilmater)
Romancing: Lae’zel
Icarian was taken in at a young age by the Open Hand Temple in Rivington and raised by its clergy, though he sees Father Lorgan and Sister Yannis as parental figures. He looks up to Father Lorgan especially since Ilmater isn’t knie to comune with his servants often, if at all, so Father Lorgan is the closest person to his god, in his eyes. He is a Paladin and travels often since his life is dedicated to others, seeking out the persecuted and oppressed under Ilmater’s care. He has never bothered to think about what he wants, he sees himself only as a vessel for Ilmater’s work.
He is romancing Lae’zel. He was taken aback by her bluntness and confidence in her beliefs and what she wants. She was the only person he has met in a long time that did not ask him to do something for her (not that he dislikes doing things for people, it’s his whole thing). He struggles to understand how to acknowledge his feelings for Lae’zel but also stay truthful to his oath to only be in service of others.
Fun Facts!
- His earliest years were spent on the streets of Baldur’s Gate. He was a very prolific pick-pocket in his youth.
- He’s only 24! He and Lae’zel and the two youngest in the tadpole pond.
- Karlach is his best friend. He took to her early on given how much he wanted to help her. He’s fairly quiet and reserved, so Karlach and he balance each other out.
The Run So Far
I’m still in act 1 for him, since I’m trying to take this one really slow and see everything, but so far he’s rescued Councilor Florrick, saved the grove (and Arabella and Mattias, as well as defeated the shadow Druids), de rested the goblin camp and saved Halsin, explored the temple of Jergal, and gotten his eye poked out by Volo (he doesn’t know how to say no to people). Next up is the Hag and then the Crèche (he really has a hard time saying no to Lae’zel, unless it’s about violence).
Headcanons!
- Though I know it can’t happen in-game, in my mind Orin kidnaps Lae’zel from camp and kills Yenna in front of him. Icarian, because of his oath to Ilmater, feels like he failed him and doesn’t know why his oath hasn’t been shattered by failing to stop Orin (he didn’t realize it wasn’t Lae’zel until she wanted to kill Yenna, but he was too late. He trusts Lae’zel explicitly by this point, and he was blinded by it). He immediately goes to retrieve Lae’zel and in the fight with Orin, gets wounded. He almost dies just as Lae’zel wakes up (I love angst) but Shart and Halsin heal him just in time.
- Eager to see what is essentially Lae’zel’s god freed because of his own love for his deity (and distrust of the emperor), Icarian denies the Emperor and frees Orpheus early, optimistic that he will continue to protect them for it. When Orpheus says one of them must become Ilithid, Icarian accepts. Lae’zel, distraught over losing him, refuses to let him become a mindflayer and offers herself. Orpheus, who does not want to see a child of his mother Gith become Ilithid, and seeing how dedicated Lae’zel is to save those she cares for, realizes she must be the one to lead the Githyanki to freedom. He knows the Githyanki must learn to lead themselves, should they risk falling under another false ruler. He consumes the tadpole himself but makes Lae’zel promise she will show the same selfless devotion to their peoples liberation.
- After the victory, Lae’zel convinced Voss to have the Githyanki stay till nightfall (she says it’s to gather material from all the ghaik ships as it could be useful, but really it’s to say goodbye to Icarian). She says she wishes he could come with her, and he does too. He is split between his Oath to help the people of the destroyed city and his love for Lae’zel. He seeks out Sister Yannis at the temple, and she reminds him that it’s his job as a Paladin to liberate the oppressed and persecuted and that he’s done that for the people of the city by defeating the Nether Brain. She also points out that the Githyanki are currently oppressed, and it would be well within his Oath to devote himself to their liberation instead. Once he realizes this, he offers to go with Lae’zel to the astral plane to support her. (I have a bunch more thoughts about what happens after this (including what happens to the githyanki egg!), but I’ve got a whole fanfic about it, so I’ll just post that if anyone’s interested)
Other Photos!
Originally he had a fuller beard, but I thought it made him look too old, so I shortened it. I have a few mods on him: his hair is the longer version of the Wizardly Updo (for Tav) mod. His skin color is modded as well (I believe it’s “extra skin colors” by PaisleyPark1 on Nexus), and his tunic/armor might be died with one of the Ocean variants from the “Extra dyes for the fashionable folk of Faerun” mod by AstralSprout on Nexus. It’s either the default “Ocean” dye or “Ocean Tides” from the mod.
This is Icarian’s guardian. I didn’t have anything particular in mind for him so I just made someone I think he would feel very included to help. I picked the youngest looking face from the “Faces of Faerun” mod by Aloija and some pigtails from “Tav’s hair salon” by Toarie. The skin color is also modded (also from “extra skin colors”), all on Nexus. The horns might also be modded, but I can’t remember which one.
Some rough sketches of Icarian (+Lae’zel). I’ve been drawing him A LOT and have plenty more than just these drawings. I’m working of rendering a whole scene right now but will probably make a character sheet when I’m done.
Big shoutout to @verk0my for being a huge inspo for a lot of my sketches of him. I love their hobbit art and have been doing a study of their style and it’s helped a LOT, so honestly credit to them for these drawings 😅.
WIP Icarian's Heraldy/gambeson/tunic. I wanted to include the Ilmatari symbol on his paladin armor since it's such a nice set of armor and it looks so good on him. I might render this flat and try to replace the file in the game, but I'm not a modder and I'm terrified of breaking it. Ignore how flat this all looks, its still a WIP.
Anyway that's one of my many, many Tav's. Let me know if y'all are interested to see the rest! Icarian is by far my most fleshed-out, but I still love all of my children equally (even the murderous ones).
Also!!! Icarian has a playlist!
