In order to save the world from the vampire invasion, Doctor Strange (in his astral form) gets Doctor Doom to help by agreeing to give Doom the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme, first making Doom give his solemn word he will give up that power once the world is saved. Doctor Doom as the Sorcerer Supreme, casts his spell with the help of the Strange Academy students.

Meanwhile in New York, the Avengers had a hard time fighting Blade who is possessed by Varnae the ancient evil spirit. Varnae-Blade gloats at the Avengers that he has no weakness except for one who happens to be Bloodline. Cue to his words, Brielle Brooks appears to stab Varnae-Blade with a sword. Then, vampire-Miles Morales also joins in to help Brielle in stabbing Varnae-Blade . Their stabbing helps in exorcising Varnae from Blade, allowing Doctor Doom to strike with his spell since Varnae's concentration with the Darkforce spell is broken. Thus Blade is finally free from Varnae's spirit. Brielle and Blade have a heartwarming reunion even though the latter is badly wounded. Just as the Avengers get ready to transport Blade for medics, they see the sun is finally out as the Darkforce dissipates.

Back to Latveria, Doctor Strange realizes it's too late when Doom's mind in "saving the world" means keeping the power of Sorcerer Supreme to take over the planet. At New York, Miles Morales freaks out a bit when he thinks that he would burn up under the sun like the vampires until he finds that he is not burning. Dracula notices that he doesn't have the typical vampire's weakness anymore when he isn't burning like vampire-Miles. Other than the vampires having their new immunity to the sun, the Avengers find out that something odd has happened. Doctor Doom is now the new Sorcerer Supreme and he intends to take over the world.

you know another reason Gladnis is so comforting is that both Ignis & Gladio could kill someone effortlessly, and they don't

they both have the ability to use violence in any given situation, and neither of them do

they are literal bodyguards to royalty, trained to protect and react, and they still put their humanity first

Ignis could basically be an assassin if he wanted to lol, he is both unbelievably agile and also smart enough to always be several steps ahead of his opponent, giving him the advantage in almost any situation

Gladio is not only fucking huge and intimidating by default, he's physically strong enough to break a pillar from the ground and swing it around like a weapon. he would barely need to lift a finger to harm someone, but he doesn't

they both are so capable of violence and neither of them relies on that for anything, they choose to be good and kind

they both were robbed of their childhoods and assigned to their roles and they could just as easily carry that around and take it out on others, and they don't

nothing about either of their lives is fair, or has ever been fair, but that doesn't affect how they view the world or how they treat other people

i love them both so much, i'm going to cry

Almost forgot, gotta explain karma and colors !

So you may have noticed in the chao doodles the "positive karma" and "negative karma" chao, and then in the Knuckles doodles, his hyper form is looking.. a bit dark, not quite as heroic as you'd think, right ?

Well that comes down a value known as karma.

Here's an excerpt from my google doc : "Karma is an ever-changing value assigned to everything in the world. Karmic charge is defined on a spectrum of positive and negative based on the person/thing, their circumstances, and ancestry. It affects the physical appearance of certain things, like transformations and chao forms. It does nothing else."

So while it is a thing that exists in the world, it has pretty much 0 impact on the story of the AU ! It's a tool for visual design basically.

See, chao, they're pure chaos energy, and depending on who they're raised by, their karmic value is changed. For example, Knuckles and Shadow will always raise negative karma chao, despite not being evil or anything, because their karmic value is far in the negative zone. Someone like Fang on the other hand, who yes is a villain, will raise positive karma chao.

Does that make sense ?

Visual identifiers of negative karma are webbed wings, crescent or eclipsed moons, purple and dark blue, darker colors in general. And for positive karma, you'll see segmented wings ( not sure how to explain but not all feathered wings count ), sun or star shapes, light blue, maybe burgundy, light colors.

A note on colors : basic chaos energy is colored emerald green, and ring energy is, unsurprisingly, gold. You'll tend to see gold often in my transformation designs.

I believe that no matter what he did, there was no happy ending for Jin Guangyao.

Whether he stayed with the Nie (he would always wish that he could have been legitimized by his father. [Because of the better social standing it would bring him which was a very big deal actually he would have been miserable unless he was legitimized, because he really wanted his father's acceptance, because he had to replace that horrible last memory of Jinlintai in his mind, because it was his birthright, & most importantly because it was his mother's last wish], he would get bullied & humiliated & get looked down upon every day by almost everyone, he would always wish [& know that with his potential] he could reach much higher and make the changes he wanted to make in the world) or didn't, or join the Lans (the same problems but maybe with less bullying and fewer shit talks because it would have been against the Lan rules and also the Lans owed JGY big time) or the Jiangs, whether Meng Shi survived or didn't (I think JGY wouldn't have told her about that staircase incident, then who knows what lies he'd make up and what he would do to hide that he was not accepted by the Jins from his mother or get accepted by them at any cost and what it would result in) whether NHS planned his downfall or didn't (he still had the head of NMJ in his secret room that he claimed "wouldn't let him go", he still slept in the same bed as his sister, he still had and had lost a son with her that he claimed that "his blood ran cold everytime he looked at him" & whether he did have him killed or not he blamed himself for his death [I've explained here why I think that], he still had to live with the knowledge that no matter what horrible deed he committed for JGS, no matter how hard he tried he was never "worth mentioning" to his father, and had to lose all his considerable filial piety & what was essentially his life's mission to the point that he murdered his father) whether he went to Dongying (he'd have still lost all he built in his motherland, despite years of trying to build himself a good reputation and prove anyone who taunt him wrong, he'd still always be known as the rotten "son of a prostitute" there. And He'd have to start from scratch in Dongying, He'd still had to leave without Meng Shi's body, NHS would never get off his tail, and he'd be separated from LXC and JL [even if they followed him, he likely would feel bad for separating them from their sects and their families. Those were things that JGY himself longed for most of his life. He wouldn't want them to follow him.]) or didn't. & don't even start with him marrying LXC which would make all his problems exponentially worse. It would probably get LXC in trouble too (maybe he'd had to leave his sect) and that would be something that JGY would never want.

Certainly, what happened to him in canon was the worst possible scenario and he might have been less miserable in some of those other scenarios, but there were just no happy endings for him.

It finally happened:

Strange was always an amateur :

I've waited since I reads "Triumph & Torment" for DOOM to be Sorcerer Supreme. LONG LIVE DOOM :

My only problem with this issue : Needed more Zoe -

I could cut my arm off but the scar would remain

I could blot the spilled blood but the ichor would stain

I’d renounce my cursed bloodline but still, I’m their child

The reminders are harsh and disturbing—defiled

Born impure from unholy genetics—I’m doomed

I had never been given the chance to be bloomed

[carmendeiact2whenplz]

Bardven is arguably the best ship ever and is underrated as hell but you know what awesome ship is even more underrated? Amhildr! (amos x gunnhildr)

Like omg it has so much potential like yes amos!! Go divorce your crappy husband who doesn’t love you back (probably cuz he’s aroace but shhhh) and get with this awesome warrior girl who probably has a cool sword!! The ultimate lesbian power couple!! The bi icons ever!!

I love every single thing you say

ITS THAT CELTIC BLOOD BABY IM TELLING YOU

What Ghost Haunts You

the ghost of your bloodline

you were doomed from the start, weren’t you? born to bend yourself to the will of a bloodline that sneers at every effort you take towards betterment. you are stained by the hand of your father, your mother, perhaps a family member that looms over your weary shoulders. the first grave is the childhood home, after all. you can escape all you wish. your body can leave the home, the state, the country, but you will always be haunted by what raised you.

Random thought but Momonoki-sensie could be one of the most op characters in mairuma if you think about it
