Angsty Shit: Pt 4

WINGS. Just… an assortment of wing-related angst.

Wings are so lovely to have. They’re warm, give the gift of flight, and make cuddling with your loved ones oh-so-wonderful. They are also deliciously fragile.

Tim’s wings, broad and black-feathered, permanently left in a state of disrepair after the Arctic. Not only did he break them when the ship went down, stripping him of flight forever, but the smoke, fire and saltwater left his feathers in tatters. When he is eventually rescued, they resemble torn rags more than the beautiful wings he had once had. It takes months upon months for them to even start to heal again.

During his captivity, perhaps his feathers were clipped, or ripped out by cruel hands, grounding him in horrible, humiliating fashion. Perhaps even taken, plucked from him and stashed away in an act of obsession…

Little Foxy constantly shielding Tim under his wings like a hen with a chick, hiding him from cruel words and crueler blows. Always a shaken, startled child, his wings kept tight to his back lest they get grabbed to get his attention or make a painful point. Even in adulthood, he rarely spreads them, instinctively trying to make himself smaller.

In kind, Butler having actually spent many a night with aching, battered wings of his own as a consequence of his training- though he had no brother to comfort him. It was ‘to be expected’, such things. How else would one make the perfect bodyguard?

Tim or Butler in battle, throwing their enemies out of the sky, meeting in a clash of feathers and beating wings. Left afterwards with missing feathers and blood-splattered wings, the ‘arms’ of them slashed and torn by their opponents’ talons. When the adrenaline fades, they seem so, so heavy, and it is all they can do to drag them behind them as they retreat to their safehouse.

Tim, in times of great stress (such as post-TAI, after Artemis’s ‘deaths’, post-the Fowl Jet crashing, etc.) tearing out his own feathers, plucking them free one by one in his anxiety.

Jon having a habit of something similar, trying furiously to groom his wings into something approaching ‘decent condition’, to the point that his feathers break and fall out. His illness and poor nutrition leave them brittle, poorly-suited for flight, and an eyesore in his eyes. He has no one to help preen them, tidy them and reassure him that they are still lovely and useful- he combs through them in violent fashion, frown deepening as more feathers fall to the ground. He hates them. He hates them like he hates the rest of his body.

Jon, as peregrines do, diving at such incredible speeds- perhaps to target an enemy, or perhaps to avoid one- only to miss his mark and hit the ground. Hard.

Britva having Tim’s wings ripped from his back to pin up on his office wall.

Jon, during the worst bouts of his illness, struggling to keep his wings from dragging on the ground behind him as he stands in front of staff, crowds, other businessmen, unable to let his guard down, even as his shoulders shake with the strain of keeping them upright when he feels so sick. Post-TEC, him constantly digging his talons into them out of stress and anger, pulling out fistfuls of feathers at his worst, with nowhere to redirect it. Who cares? They were ugly anyways.

Tim, Angeline and Butler, all awakened by nightmares, tiredly preening each other’s wings late at night until they are calmed enough to try to sleep again.

Tim, Butler (and maybe even Jon) all left stranded after some disaster or another- with no way home at the moment and no safehouse nearby, they find themselves huddling under Butler’s wings to keep warm and out of the weather, Tim wishing he could shield his bodyguard too.

One of the three captured by an enemy and tied up, haphazardly wrapped in their own wings as if they were sheets, to keep them from getting loose. The ropes/chains cut into their feathers, all twisted up horribly, and there’s a chance they wouldn’t be able to fly even if they could somehow get free.

One of them, winged, coming across some other magical creature not quite so friendly. A siren dragging them under, their wings weighing them down as they try to fight their way back to the surface, or a gorgon snatching them up, smirking at the way they flutter desperately as they struggle to break loose.

In a winged twist on the Post-TEC AU, Tim quietly preening them for Jon one night, because in his spiraling state he finds that he has neglected them so badly that the feathers are matting, so dulled one can hardly see the stripes barring them anymore. Others at the gathering had laughed, wickedly (led by one Phonetix CEO) at their state, and Tim was worried to find that Jon hadn’t even attempted to defend himself.

Sometimes people catch pathogens at hospitals, so moving some injuries from the "needs hospital" category to the "treat at home" category is an unmitigated good actually!

These are $30 for one but stitches at the hospital are more expensive so this is pretty damn great

Ah yes. When the protective dad-figure beats up the son-figure's past tormentor only for said tormentor to make a point(?), because the tormentor is the catalyst of Gotham's chaos, and seeing two pieces of the debris from said chaos come together to try and be less broken is amusing. The butt of Gotham's joke, if you will.

I just felt like illustrating a scene from a possible future Harvey-Jason-centered fic...

It's our favorite poor little meow-meow, Voice of the Broken!

Design notes:

Based on a ring-necked pheasant: gaudy fowl bred and released by aristocracy, who hunt them as leisure.

As a part of Slayer's psyche, represents Resignation and Grief.

Molting in patches and scratched from self-harm.

Wings cut off since long ago, body emaciated and small for his (seeming) lack of confidence and power.

Inspired by Karma Karmeleon's Broken, his claws were filed off in willing submission

Inspired by @itsonlypolite 's Broken's clothes, mine always carries a thick blanket, which is often slung across the shoulders like a priest's stola. Brokes mopes and needs comfort, or preaches and is reverent.

As Tower decreed, she is brillant radiance and Slayer is quiet shadow: Broken wears black. In a twisted way, he thinks he's doing what's best for Slayer by giving in and giving up.

As a classic groveling submissive to his classic mean Dominant goddess, he does enjoy subservience and being controlled by the Tower. Which is why he wears a collar with a ring big enough to fit Tower’s finger. (His neck is bright white… almost like a painted target…. almost like a collar was meant to be there ~ )

In Apotheosis, the ring grows to fit her even larger finger. His stola turns white for devotion to her.

In Cage, he allies with the Princess (white trousers and sympathy necklace of chains) and thoroughly scolds everyone for their inconsiderate and violent urges (red stola: a passionate preacher indeed).

For Tower!Fury, his collar ring broke and tarnished. For Adversary!Fury his blanket/stola is colored like Fury!Cold's: White (Princess sympathy) going into red (passion and emotion guiding) going into black (strength from knowing what you are: The Long Quiet).

In Wild, besides the repaired clothes and poppy flower crown, he gets a ribbon as gentle, adoring decoration from the Princess.

What chapter/ chapters tell Mithrun’s backstory? or if it’s not too many could you post those pages? I read the whole manga but for some reason I have no memory of reading about Mithrun’s backstory and I’ve been confused about how he got to be the way he is. I read the wiki but I want to go back and read the actual part of the manga that will explain this to me. Thank you!

The version Kabru tells is from chapter 62, might be a little confusing cause it's told between other things happening as they await for the canaries to save them. Its not really short enough for me to post the whole thing here plus its a great chapter I recommend rereading. (It's also the kabumisu canon foot fetish chapter)

As the chapter cover implies this chapter is a VERY condensed and cleaned up version Kabru made for us (for Laios actually)

So it's a "unreliable narrator" version of his backstory and things like the woman he wanted might have been overstated in Kabrus version cause as he says her

It's just a good point to make people invested.

That being said we also get some more things about his backstory from extras! (I recommend reading chapter 62 before the extras tho)

First there's Mithrun's own adventurer's bible extra

With this right away we see the story Kabru was telling left out several things that were important, like how Mithrun WASN'T the perfect youth. And how his jealousy for his brother was greater than just wanting to have his girl.

Another one is Milsiril's Extra

Here we have a better perspective of how he was perceived. And how she helped him get back on his feet and join the canaries again after utaya, Kabru's version skips completely over the fact he needed 20 years of rehab to be able to come back lmao. Now for daydream hour extras we have this one that shows just HOW MESSY his recovery actually was.

And that the brother he dismissed was the one to help him. And Milsiril helping with his rehabilitation once she had retired from the canaries.

Here's Mithruns timeline if you want to check when and how far apart things happened!

I don't think I missed anything.. hope this helps!

Readerbot’s Alternate Ending: crushed beneath rubble as the PizzaPlex is burned, they have a sort of dying dream before going offline for the last time

(Dialogue is from BMO’s ‘death’ scene, it’s rlly sad for absolutely no reason and I think abt it a lot)

not really lore, but some more serious shapeshifter info. I'm no writer, but I do enjoy defining how my characters and sonas physically work.

TW: BLOOD, INJURIES, SELF-HARM

first/previous/next

…that?

The self-harm is more accidental I’d say, but it’s still what it is. By this I mean that: Lee wouldn’t hurt himself on purpose, although he also doesn’t mind when the world does it for him. His only sin is that he doesn’t stop it.

Also I’m sorry if it seems unnecessarily bloody but at this point I’m just using this comic as a punching bag - to get rid of some tension. My head is a mess lately.
