Lila roared with courage as they faced a pack of vicious wolves, and Alex showed his bravery by confronting a venomous serpent. In a hidden temple, they discovered the Crystal of Harmony. But it was guarded by a malevolent force, eager to maintain the darkness that had engulfed Elaria. The heroes joined their powers, harnessing their unique abilities in a dazzling display of unity. Together, they vanquished the dark entity and claimed the crystal. Back in their camp, the Mythical Seven and Alex held the Crystal of Harmony aloft.

One day, while journeying through the Whispering Woods, they come across a village under attack by a horde of goblins. With quick thinking and teamwork, Alex and the Mythical Seven manage to drive off the goblins and save the villagers. As they continue their quest, they encounter a wise old woman who gives them a riddle. The riddle leads them to an ancient cave where they find a magical artifact - a staff that can amplify one's abilities. "This is incredible!" exclaims Faye, the fairy, as she holds the staff for the first time. "We might just be able to defeat the dark force with this." However, to wield the staff's full power, they must learn to harness the magic within themselves and work together in perfect harmony. As they train and grow closer, Alex and the Mythical Seven become a formidable force, but they know their greatest challenge lies ahead: confronting the dark force that threatens to consume Elaria.

Alex and the Mythical Seven stood at the entrance of the Dark Forest, their hearts pounding with anticipation. The ancient prophecy had led them here, and they knew that the fate of Elaria rested on their shoulders. "We must be brave," Drakon growled, his scales glistening in the moonlight. "Remember, we are stronger together than apart." Faye fluttered her delicate wings, casting a soft glow over the group. "Let's show those who wish to rule Elaria with darkness that love and unity will always prevail." As they ventured deeper into the forest, the Mythical Seven encountered creatures of myth and legend, some friendly, others hostile. But through it all, they stood united, their bonds growing stronger with each challenge they faced. "What if we can't save Elaria?" Gideon whispered to Alex, his voice trembling. Alex squeezed his hand reassuringly. "We have to try," she said. "The prophecy may be our only hope." In the heart of the forest, they found a massive crystal, pulsating with an eerie energy. This was the source of the dark force threatening Elaria. The Mythical Seven knew that in order to restore balance to their world, they must make a terrible sacrifice. "We'll do it together," Nym promised, her voice full of determination. "For Elaria." United, they channeled their combined powers into the crystal, shattering its dark energy and releasing a wave of pure magic that swept across Elaria. The Mythical Seven had succeeded, and in doing so, they discovered that true power came from love and unity, not from darkness or destruction. In the mystical land of Elaria, humans and mythical creatures lived in harmony. However, dark forces threatened this balance.

As the sun rose over the enchanted forest, Alex stood with the Mythical Seven - Dragon, Fairy, Giant, Griffin, Nymph, and Sphinx - preparing for the journey ahead. The ancient prophecy had been whispered through generations, but no one knew its true meaning until now. "We must work together," said Dragon, his voice echoing through the forest. "Our individual strengths are nothing compared to what we can accomplish when united." "But how do we know which challenges lie ahead?" asked Alex, concern in her eyes. "The prophecy will guide us," Giant reassured her, his deep voice resonating like a gentle rumble of thunder. "It's our roadmap through this adventure." As the group ventured forth, they encountered numerous obstacles. The Fairy's delicate wings helped them glide over treacherous chasms, while the Griffin's keen eyes spotted hidden dangers.

With newfound confidence, the Mythical Seven stood together, their combined powers radiating like a beacon of hope. "For the love of Elaria, unite!"

Together, they embarked on a quest to fulfill an ancient prophecy that foretold their unification would bring harmony to Elaria. The Mythical Seven faced numerous challenges, from navigating treacherous terrains to battling evil creatures.

They entered the forest, each step bringing them closer to their destiny. As they ventured deeper, they encountered a giant obstacle blocking their path - a towering wall of thorns, impenetrable and menacing. "This is our first test," said Alex, his voice steady despite his fear. "We must work together to overcome this challenge." The Mythical Seven huddled together, discussing strategies and assigning roles. The fairy, Lumi, used her magical healing powers to mend the wounds of the wounded. The dragon, Ignis, breathed flames to clear a path through the thorns, while the giant, Stoneheart, crushed the thorns under his immense weight. "Look!" cried Alex, pointing to a hidden entrance revealed by their efforts. "We did it!" Together, they continued their journey, facing trials and tribulations. They fought a fearsome dragon guarding a treacherous mountain pass, outsmarted a cunning sorcerer hiding in the shadows, and saved a village from the brink of destruction at the hands of a malevolent force. With each challenge they faced, the Mythical Seven grew stronger and closer together.

The Mythical Seven united their powers, combining their abilities to vanquish Abyssus once and for all.

As they journeyed together, they encountered various obstacles that tested their unity and trust in one another. During their travels, the group stumbled upon a small village plagued by a giant with an insatiable appetite for destruction. The villagers were terrified and helpless. Alex and the Mythical Seven decided to confront the giant, using their unique abilities to outsmart him. "We need a plan," said the wise owl, Lumen, as the group huddled together. "Each of us has a role to play in this battle." The agile fairy, Zephyr, nodded in agreement. "Our strengths lie in our differences, and it is by working together that we will overcome any challenge." With Lumen's wisdom guiding them, the group devised a plan. Zephyr distracted the giant with her swiftness, while the dragon, Ignis, used his fire to burn the giant's feet. The powerful gorilla, Goliath, then grabbed the giant from behind and held it tight, preventing it from moving. Finally, Alex, a skilled archer, shot an arrow into the giant's eye, incapacitating it. Victorious, the Mythical Seven continued their journey, stronger and more unified than ever before. They knew that love and unity were their true powers, and with these, they would vanquish Abyssus and fulfill the ancient prophecy.

They had come together from different corners of Elaria to fulfill an ancient prophecy that spoke of a time when humans and mythical creatures would unite in harmony. "We must be prepared for any obstacles we may face on our journey," said Alex, her voice echoing across the landscape. The Mythical Seven nodded in agreement, each member bringing their unique abilities to the table. They were a formidable team - a dragon with the power of flight, a centaur known for his incredible speed, a mermaid who could control water, a gnome skilled in earth manipulation, and a phoenix whose fiery spirit burned brightly. As they ventured deeper into Elaria, they encountered the first challenge - a giant with an insatiable appetite. He towered over them, his eyes filled with hunger. "You shall not pass!" he roared, blocking their path. The Mythical Seven knew they had to work together to overcome this obstacle. "Phoenix, use your fire to warm the giant's heart," instructed Alex. The phoenix complied, bathing the giant in a gentle glow of warmth and light. As he felt the warmth, the giant's anger began to dissipate, replaced by a sense of peace. "Now, Centaur, use your speed to distract him while we find a way around," suggested Alex. The centaur took off, drawing the giant's attention away from the group. With the giant momentarily preoccupied, the Mythical Seven scaled the mountainside and found an alternate route.

With the help of the Mythical Seven - a group of powerful and diverse beings - they embarked on a quest to fulfill this prophecy. As they ventured through Elaria's vast landscapes, they encountered a giant named Goliath who had an insatiable appetite for anything in his path.

Continuing their journey, they faced the dark force known as Abyssus, a malevolent entity that threatened to consume Elaria's very essence.

One day, while traversing the dense forest, they encountered Grendel, a giant with an insatiable appetite. Fearing his hunger would consume all of Elaria's resources, the Mythical Seven devised a plan to calm Grendel's voracity. With Alex's ability to communicate with mythical creatures and the rest of the team's combined skills, they managed to satiate Grendel's appetite with a magical fruit that could only be found in the heart of the forest. However, as they celebrated their victory, they realized that the dark force of Abyssus still loomed in the shadows, threatening to engulf the world in chaos. With renewed determination, the Mythical Seven continued their quest, facing numerous obstacles and confronting their fears. Through it all, they discovered that true power lay not in individual strengths but in the unity and love they shared for one another. "We are stronger together than apart," Alex said, his voice filled with conviction as they stood united against the darkness. And so, with hearts full of courage and a newfound understanding of their interdependence, the Mythical Seven continued their journey to save Elaria from the encroaching shadow of Abyssus. In the mystical world of Elaria, where humans and mythical creatures coexist in harmony, our heroes Alex and the Mythical Seven embarked on a quest to fulfill an ancient prophecy. They were a diverse group, each member bringing unique abilities to the table, and together they formed an unbreakable bond. As they journeyed through Elaria's breathtaking landscapes, they encountered obstacles like Grendel, a giant with an insatiable appetite, and Abyssus, a dark force lurking in the shadows. With each challenge they faced, Alex and the Mythical Seven discovered the true power of unity and love, finding strength in their collective hearts. "We must calm Grendel's hunger and banish Abyssus to restore balance to Elaria," said Alex, his voice resolute. "But we can only do this together." The Mythical Seven nodded in agreement, their eyes gleaming with determination. Together, they managed to calm Grendel's hunger and drive back the dark force of Abyssus. As night fell, they stood victorious, their spirits lifted by their newfound unity. But they knew that their journey was far from over. The ancient prophecy still awaited fulfillment, and Elaria's future hung in the balance. "We have come so far," said Alex, his gaze sweeping across the Mythical Seven. "But we must continue our quest, for the sake of all who call Elaria home." They nodded in unison, their hearts swelling with love and unity. Together, they would face any challenge that came their way, ready to usher in a new era of harmony and happiness for the world they cherished. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over Elaria's lush landscape. In this mystical world, humans and mythical creatures lived in harmony, their destinies intertwined by an ancient prophecy. Among them was Alex, a skilled warrior who led a group of seven extraordinary individuals known as the Mythical Seven. Together, they embarked on a quest to fulfill the prophecy and save their world from darkness. As they ventured deeper into the uncharted territories, they encountered a fearsome giant named Grendel. His insatiable appetite threatened the balance of Elaria, as he devoured everything in his path. The Mythical Seven knew that they must find a way to calm Grendel's hunger and restore peace. In the depths of the forest, they came across a mysterious cave, where Abyssus, a dark force, lay hidden. This sinister power threatened to engulf Elaria in chaos, and it would take all their combined strengths to vanquish it. With determination in their hearts, the Mythical Seven faced both Grendel and Abyssus. "We must work together," Alex said, his voice echoing through the cave. "Our unity is our greatest strength." And so, they fought side by side, each member contributing their unique abilities to overcome the obstacles before them. As they conquered Grendel and banished Abyssus, they discovered that true power came from love and unity. Returning home forever changed, the Mythical Seven vowed to usher in a new era of harmony and happiness for all who called Elaria home. In the end, they knew their journey was far from over, but they were more united than ever, ready to face any challenge that came their way. In Elaria, a mystical world where humans and mythical creatures coexist, Alex led the Mythical Seven on a quest to fulfill an ancient prophecy. As they traversed through dense forests and treacherous mountains, their bond grew stronger. One day, they encountered Grendel, a giant with an insatiable appetite. The Mythical Seven faced him with courage, knowing that he threatened the balance of Elaria. "Grendel, we come in peace," Alex shouted, trying to reason with the giant. "We ask you to stop causing destruction and return to your slumber." "Haha, you think you can stop me? I'll eat everything in my path until there's nothing left!" Grendel roared, his voice echoing through the mountains. Alex looked around at her companions, their faces determined. They knew they had to calm Grendel's hunger and restore balance to Elaria. The Mythical Seven worked together, using their unique abilities to soothe Grendel's rampage. With love and unity, they brought harmony back to the world. However, the dark force of Abyssus still loomed, threatening chaos. But the Mythical Seven were more united than ever, ready to face any challenge that came their way. Together, they would usher in a new era of harmony and happiness for all who called Elaria home. As the sun rose over Elaria, casting its golden light upon the mystical land where humans and mythical creatures coexisted in harmony, Alex stood atop a hill with the Mythical Seven. They were ready to embark on their quest to fulfill an ancient prophecy that would save their world from impending doom. Alex turned to his companions, each one a mythical creature with unique abilities and strengths. "We must work together as one," he said with conviction, "For only through unity and love can we defeat the darkness that threatens our home." The Mythical Seven nodded in agreement, their eyes glowing with determination. Their first challenge was Grendel, a giant with an insatiable appetite for destruction. His massive form towered over the group as they approached him cautiously. "We come in peace, Grendel," Alex called out, attempting to reason with the beast. "Join us in our quest to save Elaria, and your hunger will be quenched." Grendel's eyes narrowed, but after a moment of hesitation, he roared his agreement. Together, they calmed Grendel's hunger and restored balance to Elaria. The Mythical Seven continued their journey, growing stronger with each challenge they faced. Their unity was tested when they encountered Abyssus, a dark force that threatened to consume the entire world. The group gathered around Abyssus, their love for one another and their world radiating like a beacon of hope. "We are the Mythical Seven," Alex declared, his voice echoing through the darkness. "And together, we will triumph over this evil." With a final burst of energy, they made a sacrifice that sealed Abyssus away forever. In the end, the Mythical Seven had learned that true power came from unity and love, ushering in a new era of harmony and happiness for all who called Elaria home. The once mystical world was now filled with hope, and the bonds between humans and mythical creatures grew stronger than ever before.

message from junkosstuff: once again suffering from izuru brainrot so here you lovelies go <3

cw: junkozuru is implied to have been canon at one point, smut, exhibitionism, breeding, quickies

Izuru Kamukura NSFW Alphabet

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Izuru is the ultimate everything, and aftercare counts towards everything! No matter who was dominating, he’ll always take the initiative with aftercare and make sure you’re comfy and clean.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

On himself, he prefers his hands. They’re skinny and veiny, which makes them much more pleasurable for his partner.

On his partner, it’d have to be their thighs. No matter their gender, they’re always soft and make great pillows.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Can he cum inside of you? Because that’s what he wants more than anything. Most of the times, the superhuman is too clouded by his lust to even think about pulling out. And boy, it’s a lot-

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He wouldn’t deny it if you asked, but he definitely wants to rail you when someone’s watching just to show how good he can make you feel.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

I feel like he’s slept with Junko if that counts. But she’s definitely the only person he’s ever slept with!

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Missionary! He loves you so so much and wants to be able to kiss you and watch your faces of pleasure!

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Izuru Kamukura? Goofy? As if.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Not shaven, but at least trimmed. Unlike his hair, he has to keep it well-kept!

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

No one would expect it, but he’s such a sweet lover. He’d hold your hand and tell you how beautiful you are too. Definitely the most romantic of his classmates.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Even during his weird fling with Junko, he couldn’t stop thinking of you. Of how you would look bouncing on his cock. So he’s definitely jacked off to you a few times more than he cares to admit. In general, he does it about once a week.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Exhibitionist. That’s his highest one. But he’s also a huge fan of breeding too ;)

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Anywhere that you risk getting caught.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Honestly? Just pin him (or at least try to) by his wrists and give him a certain look. That’ll make him instantly horny.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

He absolutely can not hurt you physically. It doesn’t matter how much you beg for him to, he just can’t.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

When it comes to giving, Izuru’s definitely an expert at it. He knows how to please all of your sweet spots. As for receiving, he’ll always accept a blowjob, but he’d much rather be the one giving.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Unless it’s a quickie, he’s usually slow and sensual just to savor you.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

YES. All the time. In the bathroom, in the woods, in the storage closet, Izuru loves to fuck you at any given time in any given location.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Since he has a thing for public sex, it’s safe to assume he’s more than okay taking risks.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

He was made in a lab. He can last for ages.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

No. He never really saw the need for them.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He’d only do it if you were being a brat that week. Other than that, he’s just as desperate to fuck you as you are. Teasing you would be torture to him too.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

He’s very quiet in his moans- they’re raspy grunts that you actually didn’t hear until the 5th or 6th time you had sex.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

This applies to both kinks and dirty secret, but he’s fantasized about bending you over Chisa’s desk and railing you just for the thrill.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Usually I wouldn’t shoot so high, but he was made in a lab, so I’d say at least 8-9 inches.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

It’s relatively normal for a teenage boy. Not too high but not too low.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

It takes him about an hour or two to eventually fall asleep. As I said before, he has to make sure his darling is comfortable before he can rest!

Crosstalk

Halo is just rvb deep lore or some shit. good luck

---

The obsession starts small, of course. A bit after the shock of grief, a bit after one last foray into his tour has him come to face to face with an artificial intelligence. Augustine, a digital refugee of yet another felled Human destroyer, cycling endlessly in the implants of a dead man. It's with him that Leonard learns two things-- "smart" AI are the burned copies of dead human brains and the degree of separation is almost none. He is reminded, once again, of an empty coffin and a uniform at his doorstep.

It's too late for that. For her. The UNSC had abandoned salvaging the dead within two years of the Great War, so paltry obligations were all they had to offer. So she may be gone, but he isn't.

So what he does is this:

He finishes his tour. He goes back home, to the little girl tucked away inside its fragile walls, minded by distant family on her mother's side. She goes to school-- her eyes are bright and sparkly, and she is excited, oblivious to his application for higher education. A degree on top of his degree, now with sharper focus. All pictures of her mother are whisked gradually away from the walls and disappeared into his study. He holds Augustine close to the chest. AI theory, neurology, and military strategy become his new normal.

Dr. Halsey is a treasure trove of knowledge. The leading scientist in all things AI. World-shaker, world-builder. She speaks of living tissue and flash clones and skeins of code, bleeding in and out of each other until they're one and the same. Unfortunately, several boards of ethics reject this, and he learns to duck red tape and ONI obfuscation. His doctorate is by the skin of his teeth.

And while he is straining, biting at the outer edges of his limits, his daughter is growing older. Graduating. He holds her at arms length, if only to hide the fact that his late nights are spent inside UNSC archives, his days away from home spent analyzing scorched brain tissue. AI matrices that implode in infancy.

It's not all for naught. He develops ideas, a strategy. Employing it is a different matter entirely, but the War is worsening, desperation peaking.

But he doesn't get his "in" until someone else fumbles in front of him. A lone data signature, easily traceable. Easily identifiable.

He has a letter drafted and sent within the hour.

It could destroy his career. But he has a feeling it won't.

Colonel Ackerson may just be that, a colonel, but he's vocal, known, and controversial. A hair-trigger reflex for wanton destruction that'd get him court-martialed if the enemy was, in so many words, human. He'd been subject to his tactics and they were... inefficient.

But he was either smarter than he looked or playing a dangerous game, digging where he was digging. Beyond AI forged from flash clones, there were the theoretical augmentations on monkeys, the full-bodied transformation of human into superhuman. Leonard knew what he was doing here-- but what was Ackerson after?

And how did he get here?

At any rate, the letter works. Evidence is compiled in advance.

"I'll make sure the UNSC sees this within the hour, if you don't want to work with me."

Dr. Leonard Church, ultimately, had less to lose than the Colonel ever did. This is what he tells himself, despite his wife's words playing quietly, constantly, in his left ear.

"I know how to get your plan approved, you just have to back mine. We'll call it an experiment. Different ways to achieve the same end."

"Don't you understand that humanity hinges on my project?" Ackerson demands.

He's a short man with a mean mug. Leonard cocks his head.

"Then think of my project as a long term investment on yours," Leonard says evenly. "Simple enough."

All he needs is to obtain the funding. Once he has that, he's home free. The UNSC and ONI, hell, the UEG, are all too busy to deal with the particulars of what he does, after all.

Ackerson holds out his hand. Leonard accepts it, trying to hide how his muscles shake with relief.

Finally.

#red vs blue #rvb #halo #dr leonard church #colonel ackerson

gahabbsb cool!! i just recently made him so I don't rlly got much of a story goin on w him but I'll try my best to keep it short lolz. He's also a moth bc moths r cool

This fellas mother had an affair which resulted in his fur being a pink-ish color, his parents having a dark blue coat instead, his father quickly noticed. He knew something was wrong but didn't want to accept the fact his wife was unfaithful so he simply convinced himself that Vanilla ( temporary name) was just ill and needed help.

after countless of doctors who just gave him the same answer that his son was fine and it was the wife who was the problem, he found one who was willing to play along to the poor man's delusion. Dr. Dern. He was a sham doctor who believed that with a strong enough will, a superhuman could be made. He played along, claiming that Vanilla was deathly ill and needed help in a special facility. The father, finally happy his delusion was confirmed, quickly agreed, giving the boy who was only 7 to the doctor.

In the facility they focused on creating superhumans, trying to create someone stronger than strong. They did this by killing and draining all the blood from their subjects, Vanilla included, and putting them in a tank so their bodies can regenerate without being revived the 'normal' way, their mind in a coma-like state. Once the body was repaired they'd fill them back up w a new liquid to see what the affect would have on the child.

During one of these sessions some dumbass accidentally dropped their three flavored ice cream into his IV, mix that with the other liquids and his body was ultimately ruined. He's now quite literally made of ice cream. His eye changed due to the sudden rush of cold and they mistook the change for being the cause, removing his eye. When they realized they fucked up they just went ' Ah shit just put a button lol ' Too much stress, excitement, or heat and this guy will melt, the only way to bring him back from this state is by scooping up some of the remains and putting it in a freezer, he'll slowly regenerate himself as long as it's cool. He can create ice cream icicles but they will also melt when exposed to enough heat, he's basically useless in the summer.

As for the father, he divorced his wife and when he was about to look for his son when he heard a soft knock, opening the door revealed Vanilla. In the rush of the moment the two hugged, as stated before, excitement causes him to melt and the hug quickly turned deadly. Vanilla slowly suffocated his father and was ultimately left alone again, he has killed the only person he had left. Anyways yeah that's all I rlly have for him-

TL DR ; Father refuses to believe wife cheated, sends Vanilla to a facility for a fictional illness, Vanilla gets turned into ice cream and then accidentally suffocates his dad lolz

Damn. He's been through a lot. Poor dude deserves better. Though I don't think he's ugly. He's clearly been through Hell, but that hasn't stopped some characters from being cute. He looks as sweet as his name suggests! He can stay in my freezer anytime.

#pinky rambles on #i like his drippy neapolitan look #plus there are some beautiful moths in real life #with some TLC #vanilla can be just as beautiful #you've got yourself a neat oc

Of Gods, Monsters, and Men

“Man is by nature a social animal [...] Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god.” - Aristotle

This diagram will make sense, I swear.

Part 1 - Humans, Gods, and Beasts

Aristotle’s tripartite system is profoundly embedded in the world of SNK.

Humans, the social animals, are the ordinary people who do not seek to make an individual mark on history, but instead live communal existences as cogs in a machine. The most important thing to them is usually the well-being of themselves and their loved ones.

They are considered weak as they do not struggle against the flow, but these very attributes are what make them human.

The vast majority of the human race fit into Aristotle’s definition of ‘social animals’, as that is the only way in which society can function. The existence of those ordinary humans, then, is worth preserving.

Those who are not social animals, but rather lead highly individual existences with the power to leave their own unique mark on the world, are Gods when viewed positively and Beasts when viewed negatively. Because they go against the flow and disrupt the status quo, they are demonised by those happy with that status quo and lionised by those who are not. In either scenario, they stand out from the crowd.

Gods are considered to be strong and special.

The apex of this specialness is symbolised in the series through its pseudo-Gods, like Ymir Fritz, and those with godlike powers like the Ackermans and titan shifters, especially Zeke and Eren.

The entirety of the Eldian race, by virtue of the power to turn into titans, can also be considered special and so are lionised as gods by the Eldian nationalists.

However, they are considered Beasts by the rest of the world because of that same uniqueness. The apex of beastliness in the series is in the titans themselves, the ultimate ‘Other’. Nothing can be as estranged from the human social community as they are, as uniquely disgusting, uniquely powerful creatures.

With this tripartite system established, however, the series deliberately complicates all three of its boundaries. To begin with, let us examine the disintegration of the boundary between Beasts and Gods.

Part 2 - The ‘Other’

Beasts and Gods are ultimately the same thing - they are an ‘Other’, defined by their lack of dependence on their community and, consequently, their status outside of it. This separate status makes them an unsocial animal, and therefore, not human. Whether this inhumanity is a good thing or a bad thing - godly or beastly - is only a matter of perspective.

There is no better proof of this than the personage of Eren Jaeger.

From the start, Eren has had no desire to be a ‘social animal’. He never catered to the opinion of the populace, and held them in outright contempt.

He wanted to accomplish everything on his own, without relying on others.

He stuck to his dream of joining the Survey Corps no matter what anyone said, and won people round to his views instead of struggling to fit theirs.

Acting this way gained Eren a reputation as either a total idiot, as in Jean’s eyes, or as an example to be followed, as Connie, Sasha and the others saw him. When Eren’s titan power was unveiled, this dichotomy escalated: where Erwin saw humanity’s greatest hope, the Military Police saw an enormous threat to peace inside the walls.

He is seen as a beast or a god, but even before his titan powers were revealed, he would never let himself be considered a nobody. The values he nurtured - independence and the strength to go against the present flow - were part of his desire to become inhuman.

It is therefore thematically appropriate that someone so fixated on the inhuman should become a titan. In his efforts to become a god, he becomes the beast he sought to vanquish. For they are one and the same - and this goes for the titans, too. Their status as an Other, not merely as a beast, is what makes them the natural enemy of humanity.

Moral doctrines that try to sort beasts from gods and drive a hard wedge between them only serve to obscure the truth.

The Church of the Walls is the best example of this exercise in futility. It reviles the titans as beasts and worships the Walls as gods for protecting them against such beasts - but the Walls themselves are titans too. The distinction between beasts and gods is thereby revealed as nothing more than a sham by the authors of public morality to keep the public in line. Indeed, how often is it the case that the devil of the new religion is the god of the old?

Like the Church of the Walls, both those who respect and revile Eren in the Final Arc observe the same truth about him in different lights: he is an Other. And they fight to the death to decide what kind of Other - a god, or a devil:

A murderer, or a messiah:

Gentle, or savage:

The fandom is no less divided over him than the characters are, each side assured of their rightness. He is either an incorrigible child or an enlightened superhuman, the most free or the most enslaved, unchanged or the most changed of all, a pit to be avoid or a height to which we might aspire. Eren is the circle that completes itself, both the best and the worst, a beast and a god. But whatever he is, he is nothing in between, nothing mediocre. He occupies extremes alone: that is what makes him special.

Eren is fundamental proof of the failure of our value systems. He is a thought experiment who manages to sit at both ends of the spectrum while neglecting the middle altogether. At this point, we may return to our diagram.

A horseshoe works much better than a straight line for our purposes. Eren sits between god and beast, good and evil, special and titan, but a world away from the multitude of humans at the centre of the horseshoe.

However, he was not always this way. His compulsion to move away from the herd is the same as ever, and that is likely what he means when he tells people he has never changed: but there was once a time when for all his efforts, he could not quite escape being a social animal.

The significance of this fact is monumental. Eren proves that the special and the human are not distinguished from birth, but that there is in fact a pathway between them. This leads us to our third part: the disintegration of the boundary between the Human and the Other.

Part 3 - The Philosopher

Like love, specialness is something you find when you’re not looking for it. Eren’s journey towards the special first began with his acceptance of his own normality.

Beforehand, behind his play at independence he longed for recognition and approval from others.

He was tired of never being taken seriously - by his neighbourhood bullies, by Mikasa, by Jean. They all dismissed him as either crazy or weak and in need of protection. He was so prone to flying out in a rage at this because they touched on his greatest insecurities - that he was really a nobody after all, and that he’d never amount to anything.

In this regard Eren had a great deal in common with Keith, who wanted above all else to prove that he was better than the rest and worthy of being admired.

This was why Keith’s story had such a big impact on Eren, and why it was placed at the end of the arc where he learns to accept being only human. One cannot become special for the sake of the approval of others. So long as you have that objective in mind, you will never be anything more than a social animal and therefore human.

It was only once Keith abandoned any hopes of being seen as special that he actually became so, when he committed the ultimate sacrifice away from the eyes of anyone living. He acted with his own conviction in his heart, and not the approval of anyone else.

So he can finally receive the title of hero - one he clearly did not expect to hear. And it is a compliment he extends to Magath, no longer feeling the need to raise himself above anyone else.

In Eren’s case, he first learned the true virtue of self-sufficiency in the crystal cave, where he saved his friends’ lives by choosing to trust in his judgement and power over everyone else’s.

Eren is shocked after his success, and the lesson does not fully sink in at first. But such sentiments as the one below...

...quickly evaporate in Eren’s next moral trial, the Serumbowl. He can no longer accept peaceful co-existence between people with different beliefs because their decisions directly threaten the lives of the people he loves. This is the moment he redirects his focus to the protection of his and his own, and in doing so renounces his care for the wider world. The revelation that he will crush that outside world into ashes reinforces his belief in this conviction as the only solution.

Thereon out, Eren embraces self-sufficiency. He chooses not to trust in his comrades and builds his power to the point that he no longer needs to take orders from anyone else. Any help he does employ - from the SC or from Zeke and his followers - is achieved through manipulation, where he is firmly in control.

He becomes self-sufficient to the extent that he even moulds the conditions of his own upbringing. It cannot be said that he is a social animal any longer. His independence allows him to surpass his humanity and become both beast and god - walking on heavenly planes in the one moment and rampaging as a skeletal monstrosity the next.

Eren passes from ordinary into special through his self-sufficiency and self-orientation. This rigid self-discipline, this self-transformation, is a practice which we might call - philosophy.

Eren?

A philosopher???

Yet this is the only way a human might become a beast or god. The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, whose works synchronise beautifully with SNK, added one crucial modification to Aristotle’s equation:

“To live alone one must be a beast or a god, says Aristotle. Leaving out the third case: one must be both - a philosopher.”

And when one really thinks about it, is the idea of Eren as philosopher so ridiculous? Summarising a philosopher as ‘one who seeks the truth’ - who has accessed more of the truth of the world than Eren? The Attack and Founding Titans give him access to literal worlds of understanding beyond the scope of any other. And although Eren is dense at the start, he grows increasingly introverted and soul-searching as the series progresses. I think it is by no means a stretch to claim that Eren has come into his own jaded sort of wisdom.

Furthermore, Eren’s restless striving for freedom, his ‘Will to Power’ in Nietzsche’s words, is so powerful that he became stronger than Mikasa could ever hope to be and hatched a plan that even Armin couldn’t predict. It is his force of will that has always allowed Eren to overcome his weaknesses. So too psychologically - his wanderlust has taken him beyond the pale of morality and so made him the series’ only real philosopher in Nietzsche’s sense of the word, as a creator of new values.

It is the drive for freedom, then, that can turn a human into a philosopher and by that means become special. The divide is that simple, that fragile. And so the monstrous Other is simply human: all too human.

Eren’s words to Ymir Fritz are the definitive illustration of this theme. Ymir, who possesses the heights of power as a pseudo-divinity, who lacks a shred of power as a slave, manages to still be human. What unites all three aspects, what allows them to co-exist, is that freedom to choose. The drive for freedom that turned Eren philosopher is what allows humans to roam into the territory of beasts and gods.

So, rather than a horseshoe, this process is best represented as a fishhook, where a pathway exists between the opposite ends of Human and Other. Through philosophy, through the discarding and creation of values, through the drive for freedom and the Will to Power, this gap can be bridged.

It is at this point we come back to the words of Eren Kruger, and consider the full weight of their meaning:

Whether an Other is a god or a beast is merely a matter of perspective - but so is the ability to become an Other in the first place. The titans of history, its movers and shakers, were not a species above and beyond. They were anyone, as human as you and me, only ones who embraced their freedom and made a courageous choice.

This is the purpose of the titans being revealed as humans. This is the purpose of the whole concept of titan shifting, where even such social animals as Reiner and Annie are elevated to the level of the special. This is the reason why mere humans are able to successfully combat the titan Others through their own skill and ingenuity. This is why our heroes possess such manifold weaknesses and flaws, to remind us that even people as average as Eren, as scrawny as Armin, and as cowardly as Jean were able to become special by choosing the Survey Corps - that is to say, by choosing freedom.

The world we inhabit is a sordid one. It’s sickening seeing the levels of cowardice people exhibit in all aspects of their lives. “I would help you, but...I would stand up to them, but...I would do something about it, but...” etc, etc, and people make excuses to run away from their problems every time. It’s enough to hate the world and everyone in it.

The message SNK delivers is able to restore this dwindling faith. Because no matter how disgusting human behaviour can be sometimes, in others and in ourselves, within every single human is the potential to become as beautiful as the characters we admire - to become someone special. A little bit of courage is all it takes.

That, to me, is what makes humanity worth something. Because it is through that metamorphosis into the special that we fulfil our function as human beings: creatures which have the choice to remain within their humanity or transcend it. Just possessing that potential is enough to make humanity a gorgeous species - and so, before accomplishing anything, Carla could value Eren simply for being born into this world. He doesn’t have to be better than anyone else, because it is a power we all possess.

This human potential to become both god and beast is what prevents the world from boring us to death. The beasts make it cruel, and the gods make it beautiful. And with gods and beasts being one and the same, there can be no world that is beautiful without cruelty, or cruel without beauty.

THE MEANING OF “A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE”

Some say the world will end in fire,

“I am known for titles that have several meanings”

Revanshe: There is some question as to what "A Song of Ice and Fire" refers to. Some people think it dwells on elements, such as the wall and Others and dragons, while others think it refers more to a character or characters, the favored one being Jon. Any comments?

George_RR_Martin: No comments on that one . . . except that I am known for titles that have several meanings.

—Transcript of Chat with George R. R. Martin on March 18, 1999

Some say in ice.

“I like titles that work on several different levels”

Shaw: The series title (Song of Ice and Fire) draws on two images that are opposite. With these images, do you mean to suggest that any kind of peace and reconciliation are a lost hope for the people of Westeros? Martin: No, not necessarily. I think the contrasts of ice and fire, of love and hate, all the things that they symbolize is one of the themes of what the series is about. You can't really encapsulate that in a nutshell, but that's certainly a part of it. I like titles that work on several different levels where the title seems to have an obvious meaning but, if you think about it, also a secondary meaning, perhaps even a tertiary. That's what I'm striving for here.

—Interview with the Dragon, 2003

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

“That's for my readers to argue out”

Shaw: As the novels unfold, Jon becomes increasingly identified with the northern cold and ice, just as Dany is closely tied to the southern heat and fire. Will these two ultimately embody the central image of the series, Ice and Fire? Martin: That's certainly one way to interpret it. That's for my readers to argue out. That may be one possible meaning. There may be a secondary meaning, or a tertiary meaning as well.

—Interview with the Dragon, 2003

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

“People say I was influenced by Robert Frost’s poem, and of course I was”

Why your saga is called A Song of Ice and Fire, because of the Wall and the dragons or is something more beyond that?

Oh! That’s the obvious thing but yes, there’s more. People say I was influenced by Robert Frost’s poem, and of course I was, I mean... Fire is love, fire is passion, fire is sexual ardor and all of these things. Ice is betrayal, ice is revenge, ice is… you know, that kind of cold inhumanity and all that stuff is being played out in the books.

—Adria’s News, 2012

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

"greater and more dangerous threats”

For people who are not familiar with your work, the series takes place in an imaginary world. There is a struggle for control of the kingdom. This dynastic war is essentially one of three main plot lines. There are the other plot lines involving these sort of superhuman characters, and then there’s the exiled Targaryen daughter who seeks the return of her ancient throne. Why those three main plot lines?

Well, of course, the two outlying ones — the things going on north of the Wall, and then there is Targaryen on the other continent with her dragons — are of course the ice and fire of the title, “A Song of Ice and Fire.” The central stuff — the stuff that’s happening in the middle, in King’s Landing, the capital of the seven kingdoms — is much more based on historical events, historical fiction. It’s loosely drawn from the Wars of the Roses and some of the other conflicts around the 100 Years’ War, although, of course, with a fantasy twist. You know, one of the dynamics I started with, there was the sense of people being so consumed by their petty struggles for power within the seven kingdoms, within King’s Landing — who’s going to be king? Who’s going to be on the Small Council? Who’s going to determine the policies? — that they’re blind to the much greater and more dangerous threats that are happening far away on the periphery of their kingdoms.

And of course, you can see that all through history. It’s a common dynamic that takes place in history. You know, the Greek city-states, before the birth of Christ, you know, and fighting with each other, squabbling with each other, even as Philip of Macedon built up his armies to conquer them all. But you even see it in modern times, you know — the political struggles of France, under the Third Republic, while the Nazi threat is rising.

But the French politicians would almost rather befriend the Nazis than each other. And maybe our lessons in the modern day too. Who knows? I mean, we have things going on in our world right now like climate change, that’s, you know, ultimately a threat to the entire world. But people are using it as a political football instead of, you know … You’d think everybody would get together.

This is something that can wipe out possibly the human race. So I wanted to do an analogue not specifically to the modern-day thing but as a general thing with the structure of the book.

—Al Jazeera 2014

And would suffice.

UPDATE

“Ice and fire of course are also opposites”

Q: The first question I have to ask you has to do with a poem that probably most of you will know, which is the poem by Robert Frost entitled Fire and Ice and it says . . . .

The first question clearly Mr. Martin is, what are the ice and fire of the poem in his work, are they desire, are they hate, are they good and evil, what are they?

GRRM: Well ice is frozen water. And fire, fire is the result of combustion when a substance unites with oxygen and gives off heat and energy. But are they hate and love and these other things too? Yeah of course. I'm working on a number of levels there, and I've always loved a certain amount of ambiguity. Words or scenes or sequences in books that can be read in many different ways, that have several meanings when you look at them, that mean one thing when you look at them this way, and another thing when you're looking them the other way. Ice and fire of course are also opposites, they're a duality and there's a lot in my books that are about duality. Certainly the religion of Melisandre, one of the most important characters, I think is basically a dualist religion with the premise that there are two gods. It's somewhat based on Zoroastrianism, and a little bit based on Catharism, Albigenses heresy who I know had some roots here in Spain once upon a time, before they were all killed. The idea of a world divided between good and evil, war between the two, which is so basic to so many fantasy starting with Tolkien, but much more so in the case of Tolkien imitators, was something that I wanted to recast and think about and maybe subvert a little. But I'm still using kind of the language of it, and some of the symbols associated with it. So all of these are grist for the mill, it's not something as simple as saying ice is this and fire is that. They're both many things. And one of the most important things is that both of them, ice and fire will kill you dead. So they're both dangerous in their own ways, hate, love, desire, coldness, they can both be deadly.

➤ “If I were to warn you, what would I say...?”

C A P T A I N C Y R I L S T A C Y

Cyril is highly defensive, hard to hit, and extremely quick to punish anyone that gets in his melee range. Melee to mid-range is where he’s the most dangerous, because that puts his opponent both within bullwhip range, and grabbing range. In combat, Cyril’s motive is always to subdue his adversary, not to kill. His goal is to force them to surrender, and he will employ whatever nefarious and cruel tactics he must in order to manage this swiftly. He will grapple, choke, bruise, beat and break bones without hesitation if he has to.

His bullwhip is the weapon he’s the most proficient and dangerous with, as well as being the weapon with which he can inflict the most pain and fear. Typically his whip is used for crowd control - it is most often utilized to halt someone’s retreat. It’s common for people to attempt to flee, only to be tangled up in the coils and yanked back into Cyril’s range. It’s common for individuals to suffer dislocated joints or snapped limbs when this happens, to say nothing of the way the whip cuts into the skin upon latching onto them.

Once someone is stunned, entangled, or otherwise slowed enough for Cyril to get a firm grasp, he can use his right hand to shock them and effectively paralyze them long enough to shackle or bind them. In most encounters, once he’s shocked someone, unless there is outside intervention - the fight between those two is over.

U N T O U C H A B L E

While it’s no secret the Captain keeps his right eye covered, the reason as to why widely remains a mystery. Those oblivious to his name and reputation will typically assume he lost that eye somehow, or perhaps that he keeps it covered as some sailors prefer to do, to allow for better sight in the darkness below decks as well as to sharpen one’s aim. Few ask, as it’s of course terribly rude to pry into such things.

Those who do know of him will often insist the covered eye is magic, a source of power and the very thing that renders him “untouchable”. Rumors often circulate that this magic eye is also the source of the crackling lightning that sparks and manifests from his right hand, allowing him to knock people down for the count so easily once he merely gets a hold of them.

As if to deliberately reinforce the frankly wild belief and ridiculous rumors that he is invincible, Cyril outwardly bears no scars nor marks on his body.

Full stat breakdown & continued Cyril related ramblings under the cut:

G E N T L E D I S C L A I M E R : Cyril is written more akin to a thriller genre villain, sometimes teetering over into horror depending on the situation - while still being set in high fantasy. I just realize he might be a bit much, perhaps too dark or violent, depending on your preferred entertainment genre / expectations, so please consider this a soft warning if that’s not something you enjoy!

O V E R V I E W [ C O N T I N U E D ] :

When in a fight, Cyril typically will come across collected, poised and honestly rather cocky. Cyril is something of an expert at breaking people’s morale and shattering their confidence, and that kind of behavior on his part often starts the very moment he and an opponent, or potential opponent, meet. Cyril will insult, belittle, talk down to, and make a great display of pity towards his adversary - this usually includes offering them ample opportunities to surrender to him before things get bloody.

In the inevitability that someone refuses to surrender, he’ll then dare them to prove themselves to him, which he will equate to proving themselves worthy of autonomy. Cyril will demand their attention and effort, and rather playfully jeer at them the whole time, especially if they seem distracted in any way [ say, for example, if he’s holding their loved one(s) hostage ]. That, however, is typically only his behavior at a distance, or as the fight begins and the two are getting a feel for one another.

Once a fight picks up, and especially once Cyril’s genuinely in melee range - you can expect him to start pushing and forcing himself into his opponent’s personal space. Definitely a byproduct of his confidence, but also typically something he can get away with due to sheer size and strength. He’ll grab, grope, and try to get people into uncomfortable holds they can’t easily wriggle out of. Choke-holds are common, whether he’s wrapped his arm about their neck from behind, or simply clasped his hand about their throat. Getting up in someone’s space may also mean pinning them to the wall, or pinning them down on the ground - he’s skilled at grappling and comfortable with either. It’s also common, both as a way to disorient as well dishearten, for Cyril to slap an opponent if he sees an opening. Usually a slap in the face is paired with an insult - maybe they let their guard down, maybe their footwork is poor - whatever it may be, Cyril will capitalize on any chance to humiliate his opponent.

In addition to getting uncomfortably close, one can expect him to snarl, shout, curse, and even growl at his opponents. Words may still be exchanged, but instead of playful banter one might instead hear whispered threats or extremely dark insinuations and other foul comments. It starts to sound like he’s finished being playful, though that isn’t necessarily the case. After all, he usually treats people like playthings, and encounters are often a game played at his leisure. Cyril likes to scare people, and he likes to see their reactions. He also just so happens to be entirely too willing to make good on any threat he whispers.

At his worst, if an opponent refuses to go down, or say his temper is getting the better of him - Cyril’s restraint will falter and he’ll start being unnecessarily violent. His temper is notoriously fickle, so whether his reaction is appropriate for the encounter he lashes out in or not is hard to say. He has a history of beating people bloody - be it with his whip, his body, or both - until they pass out. Cyril has kicked and crushed people under his boot hard enough to shatter bones and crack ribs, as well as doubtless inflicting many a concussion slamming people against this or that structure. His temper boiling over to such a degree as to see such behavior is rare... but not as rare as it should be.

O U T O F C H A R A C T E R N O T E S :

Cyril is written to be a powerful and ideally ( if I’m doing my job right ;; ) terrifying villain to go up against. He’s supposed to feel impossible to overpower, coupled with losing to him of course having massive & heavy repercussions - both for a hero / heroine and for that individual’s loved ones. I really wanted him to be scary and unforgivable.

While not invincible in any way, he would like to have others believe he is. Therefore, he invests no small amount of effort into selling that invincible image, with a generally rather high success rate. Rumors abound of an “untouchable” Captain Stacy, who boasts no scars and loses no duel. Which... it’s true he’s not yet lost a duel, but why that is can be written about another time.

I’ve written Cyril to intentionally be a villain that someone cannot simply overpower with brute force. Winning against Cyril is going to take strategy, forethought, and ultimately in some cases, stooping to his level or even flirting with a diplomatic relationship. He is a pirate, after all, pirates love to parley.

He’s generally meant to put a hero / heroine in a difficult position, where they’re forced to make decisions and do things they wouldn’t ordinarily do in order to defeat him, because again - simply overpowering him is not going to work. And at the same time, he cannot just be ignored or avoided, because his trade and his tendencies are too cruel and intrusive to cast a blind eye towards. Morally, he cannot be allowed to continue what he does, and someone has to put an end to it. I wanted to make him a villain that challenged heroes on a deeper level than just physical strength.

At least, all of that is what I hope for when I write him. Did I succeed? Who knows.

Thank you for reading! 🌹
