Riordanverse race/nationality headcanons (Main characters and background characters alike)
This may be a very long post, and I’m throwing in little tidbits about appearances, so with no regard to any particular order, strap in:
(Seriously, this is a huge post)
Edit: Changed Luke from just Korean American to mixed Argentinian/Korean American, inspired by @tagthescullion
The Seven (Including Nico and Reyna):
Percy Jackson: Biracial White/Latino, Cuban American (Sally was born in Havana, she had Percy shortly after moving to the US)

Malcolm Pace: White with albinism, Scottish, Glasgow

Vytal Festival Day 3: OCs
This will be the first of (hopefully) two things I post for the Vytal festival event being hosted by @remnants-of-rwby-events, but it's gonna be a bit different from my standard fare. When it came out RWBY was a big deal for me, to the point that despite being deep in a mindset of 'I'm not writing fanfic anymore, it's all original stuff all the time from now on,' I couldn't get the idea for a fanfic out of my head. Now I never actually wrote that story, but I did build the OC team that it would've followed. I posted them on reddit at the time and had some basic ideas of a story involving them, but never progressed beyond that. But I'm going to share a slightly polished version of them here with you. If you want to use any or all of them in your own projects, you're more than welcome, though I would appreciate being mentioned as their original creator and being told you're doing it so that I can check them out. Just please bear in mind that when I came up with this merry band the only thing we had to go on was the first season of the show; Volume 2 was five months away, Grimm Eclipse was still just a fan-made tech demo, and basically all the other spinoffs were in the concept phase or just barely past it.
Now without further ado, I present Team VCTR (Victor)
The team is led by Violetta Arlotti. Vi had anger issues when she was younger, and her father started giving her combat training as an outlet, going against her mother's wishes. After being gifted her grandmother's old huntress weapon, she took well to the lessons and wound up enrolling in Beacon. During initiation she was partnered with Connor Gray and impressed the headmaster with her cool head under pressure, which is what earned her the leader slot. At first she was hesitant to accept, seeing the worst in herself and the best in her teammates she thought she was the least suitable to lead. But with time and communication her fears were abated, and now she has the utmost confidence in all of VCTR, herself included. She doesn't always make the right call, and sometimes her anger still gets the better of her, but at the end of the day her team trusts her to pull them through, and so far she's been successful.
Appearance: Dark purple hair (worn in a ponytail), green eyes, and a few inches shy of being the tallest member of the team. Her combat outfit consists of a sleeveless top, leggings, and a leather bracer on her left arm. She carries a pair of quivers filled with arrows, one filled with standard broadhead arrows on her back, and another with dust-treated arrows on her right hip.
Weapon: Crystal Rain shifts between two forms as needed. The first is a Glaive and the second is a Longbow. The most prominent feature is a green crystal that in glaive form is located at the base of the blade and in bow form it acts as an arrow rest. It can also collapse down for storage, folding to roughly half the length to be carried more easily. Semblence: Shockwave: Vi can use her aura to generate a blast of force that follows in the wake of her own or her weapon's movements, allowing her to functionally add a second strike to her attacks while the ability is active. While it technically can be used with any of her movement, its utility outside of combat is limited and it's difficult to manipulate the force of the shockwave down to something that is more finesse than destructive.
---
The next member is Conner Grey, who is the only one to have been aware of any of his teammates before joining VCTR; while attending signal he developed a crush on his classmate, Tanis Phaena. And while his outgoing personality and prominent sense of humor caught many eyes among the both the male and female populations at Beacon, his romantic endeavors were often short-lived due to him still holding a torch for his Faunas teammate. Connor takes it upon himself to keep spirits high among his teammates through a combination of trash talk, banter, and pranks. Despite this, the others know that they can rely on him when it comes down to the wire. And while he's the weakest, slowest (without his semblence) member of the team, only Tanis can match him when it comes to sheer tenacity.
Appearance: Hazel eyes and short, messy black hair. Rarely seen without his signature grey zip-up hoodie, paired with simple blue jeans for the regular day to day, or by a pair of cargo pants as extra storage for dust and if he's expecting a fight.
Weapon: Comitas & Gravitas, a pair of telescoping batons designed and built by Connor originally as a test of how simple of a weapon he could design and still get his teachers' approval. The simple bludgeoning weapons have concealed dust chambers allowing them to be charged with elemental effects when the situation calls for it.
Semblance: Air Cushion: Connor can create and manipulate thin layer of air around his body. On the extreme end of the scale this can provide an extra layer of impact absorption or affect the trajectory of incoming projectiles to mitigate their damage (though the margins for pulling that maneuver off are razer-thin). Generally though, it's used for maneuverability; by creating the cushion between himself and the ground and controlling the air currents within it, he can effectively create controllable, near-frictionless platforms under his feet that not only allow him greater movement speed, but the ability to change his own position and facing without losing momentum.
---
Member number 3 is Tanis Phaena. Born and raised in Vale, she was less subject to bullying than other faunas her age due to her intimidating appearance, but that didn't mean she had it easy. She was mostly ignored by her peers until she enrolled in Signal, where Tanis developed a false cheerfulness to shrug off efforts of the more courageous bad apples she ran into there. At her Beacon initiation her combat prowess earned the respect of her new partner Robert Morgan and thanks to his quietly intimidating presence combined with the open support of her other teammates her situation improved and eventually that false front was replaced with actual happiness. As a result she is fiercely loyal to her friends and endeavors to always stand up for them the same way they did for her. Appearance: Short, copper-red hair and amber eyes with slitted pupils. Green scales run from her hips and shoulders down the length of her limbs, with short but noticeable claws on her fingertips. The shortest member of VCTR, Tanis is built for speed and agility.
Weapon: The Gorgon Twins, a pair of katars she built at signal based on the recommendation of a teacher. The blades can split down the middle and retract to the side, allowing one or both to function in a more defensive manner as a kind of buckler and also revealing the hidden chakram launcher that provides Tanis a ranged combat option.
Semblance: Point Focus contracts Tanis' full attention down to a single opponent, slowing her percption of time so that she can attack with pinpoint precision giving her increased reaction speed. This is an extremely potent ability, but it severely limits her awareness of the wider field of combat. Increasing the range of her awareness while in her semblance is one of her biggest training goals.
---
Last but not least is Robert Morgan. Even at a young age, Rob was a prodigy. He was entered into youth fighting tournaments and quickly earned distinction and popularity as a duelist, becoming a household name in Atlas. His parents enjoyed their son's fame, and the money he earned allowed the family to move from Mantle to the floating city, but Robert himself resented the constant attention, and wished for a more private life. So rather than make his debut on the international tournament scene he traveled to Vale and enrolled in Beacon, where he mostly kept to himself. He respects his teammates' abilities and values their friendship (though he rarely admits it out loud), and while being part of VCTR has helped him come out of his shell, he still ultimately prefers the company of his own thoughts.
Appearance: Shoulder-lenghth shaggy black hair, brown eyes, and a strong, barrel-chested frame. Typically seen in a long red coat with metallic buttons and wide cuffs, which he wears left open with the sleeeves pushed up above his elbows.
Weapon: Satisfaction, a Cutlass that can mechashift into a flintlock pistol. Despite its appearance, the latter form does include a repeating dust-cartridge magazine, but the flintlock mechanism does need to be manually cocked back for each shot. The weapon also contains an additional dust mechanism that's used to generate smoke for Rob to use with his semblance.
Semblance: Mistwraith allows Rob to control (but not create) smoke, fog, and other visible gases and vapor. Provided he has enough to work with, he can do everything from obscuring sightlines to creating illusions from the mists, including duplicates of himself, his teammates, or his opponents. Mistwraith also allows Rob to keep the mist sustained and concentrated, even in situations where it would otherwise naturally dissipate.

For the “give me a character” asks: Cass, Jaime, Kory?
Thank you so much for sending me this ask. I love having an excuse to talk about characters!!
Cass
How I feel about this character
My favourite girl!!!! she's tortured but also so compassionate so funny!! Top 10 charcters def
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Rose mostly, Brenda a bit, I am okay with Stephcass but am very picky about characterization when it comes to both of them so like very on the fence
My non-romantic OTP for this character
okay so in terms of friendships Steph&Brenda maybe kon or connor too. in more familial dynamics Babs, Bruce and Tim also her and Damian deserve more chances to interact smh wasted opportunity DC
My unpopular opinion about this character
hmmmm idk if this is like unpopular or not but I think she would genuinely feel uncomfortable around Damian for a while mostly as a result of like similar childhoods and like projection. Like the opposite of her and Bruce where the she Bruce sort of enjoy working together because of their on the same wavelength, similarities between her and Damian just make her uncomfortable at first.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
OHH I'd love to see cass in like a mentor role maybe like a canon-divergent where she's becomes Batman and ends up working with Damian or like so future story where she mentors someone like Nell or Maps.
I'd rly love to see cass in the sort ups and downs of a mentorship role.
Jaime
How I feel about this character
Does my url mean nothing to you. But honestly speaking the blue beetle 2006 was one of the first comics I read as a kid and part of how I got into DC so Jaime will always be special.
All the people I ship romantically with this character
hmm I don't think I have a lot of ships for him I don't rly ship him with bart if that helps I know the YJ cartoon made that popular. I've read like background ships where he's with Traci, or tim or Eddie and those are cool with me
My non-romantic OTP for this character
ohh his dynamic with peacemaker in the 2006 run was cool but mostly I just enjoyed him with Brenda and Paco. His dynamic with Ted was so sweet in the blue beetle rebirth series from what I remember. Him and booster is cool too.
My unpopular opinion about this character
Idk if I have any unpopular opinions about I would say that I guess I never really see him as like a Justice league hero in the future. I very much like him doing his own thing with occasional appearances from other heroes rather than like on a team full time.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
ohh that Hector storyline with him as the black beetle from blue beetle 2006 is something I would like too see done well.
Kory
How I feel about this character
Very underappreciated by dc I fell in love with her design as a kid then with her character.
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Let's see Dick, Donna, Raven and Victor are the ones that come off the top of my head. Her and jess were cute in oddessy
My non-romantic OTP for this character
ohh um Kormand'r, without question
My unpopular opinion about this character
ohh unpopular opinion hmm I'm not too upset with in TT03 I guess it was my first real intro to her before I read NTT so I get why some people dislike it bc of all the fanon trends it started but I never rly cared that much.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
SPACE PIRATE KORY!!!! In a dream world there is very good Kory solo of her being a space pirate taking down slavers, inspiring people and becoming a legend. With guest appearances from Vic and Donna and maybe some lanterns

Info About The Writer
Hi! I’m Alistair— you can call me that, or you can use my username for pretty much everywhere else, TheetyPie/Theety. I don’t mind either way.
I’m a trans guy, I use he/they pronouns. I’m panromantic/asexual, and I’m 27 years old.
I have 3 cats, they’re my babies. I also (as you can tell from above) have a lot of OCs, and the number is still growing. I want to turn my ideas into a bigger creation someday, still not sure exactly where I want to go with it.
I do more than write. I do art, I like video games, music, and just collecting stuff. Current obsessions are Monster High, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, makeup, crystals, and jewelry.
Rules
The most important: I do not RP smut. In the past I’ve used the fade-to-black method, but I���m not entirely comfortable with that with most of my muses.
In the same vein, DO NOT FORCE SHIPS. I love ships as much as the next guy, but I would prefer to discuss it first, or for us to agree on it. It’s cool if your muse has a crush, totally fine— mine get crushes all the time! But make sure if you want to ship, we discuss it first.
In a similar vein to that one as well, no god-modding/powerplaying. If your character is strong, an immortal being, or whatever, cool! I have some of those too. But there should always be a limit. Don’t say your character is moving mine unless we’ve talked about that. Attempt to move them. Usually I follow along as long as boundaries aren’t pushed.
Don’t kill or seriously injure my muse without permission. Fights happen, of course, but again: discussion. I’m up for threads where my canon muses are injured or killed, but not where it happens to my OCs, unless we’re getting into a backstory and another OC that’s already deceased dies. Non-serious injuries are alright to come out of nowhere with, but if it’s a first meeting, I’d prefer to plot it out.
I’m semi-selective. I’m kind of particular about who I follow and who I thread with. I prefer us to be mutuals to thread, but you don’t have to be mutuals to send me things.
I’m very bad at keeping up with people. If you message me and I don’t respond, it’s usually bc I’m shy, I forgot, or I’m busy with work. It’s not you, I promise. Usually I don’t message first bc I’m nervous.
Back to shipping: I’m also multiship. Usually my ships are in different universes, unless discussed with all parties beforehand. The exception is a few of my OCs that are partnered together— ask about their availability. I love random ships, just talk to me about them!
I love duplicates of my muses. Whether it’s “x meets self” or I find someone I share a muse with, I love RPing with just about everyone. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we have a muse in common!
One of my other most important statements, not really considered a rule, but it’s still important: if you want to know something about any muse, canon or OC, please tell me— ask or message me! I haven’t been able to write down a lot of info about any of them because I’m on mobile, but I will infodump for you if you need/want to know something. I love talking about my children, they’re precious to me.
If you send something in or make something for me when we haven’t even spoken, I might not feel comfortable responding. I’m very shy and nervous about not having any discussion beforehand. 😭
If there’s anything I left out or you need to know, just ask!
#cxdemistake#fjsjfjf this took a while#also look at all the muses#this is what happens when I consume tons of media on a break#I cling to 20000 fictional characters and need to write them#fhdjfj#also consider this my promo#pls reblog to help me find more active peeps#thx!#; promo

Everybody would like to know: what are the
?
Of course, they also want to know:
The answer is Les Misérables (sometimes). While I was looking through the California Digital Newspaper Collection, I made note of the articles which mentioned that Les Misérables was included in the local library. To begin, in 1885 the Napa Free Library opened in Napa, California, which seems to have been a subscription library furnished with a watercooler “where he who seeks the fountain of knowledge may at the same time slake his thirst tor water.” The library’s board of Trustees selected which books the library would carry, and Les Misérables was among the first 35 selected. Missouri’s Saint-Louis Republic reported in 1889: “When ‘Les Miserables’ first appeared fifty copies answered the demand, although this is one of the most constantly read books in the library.”
In 1890 the Chicago Tribune quoted a bookseller as saying “I sell a copy of Victor Hugo's ‘Les Miserables’ every ten days regularly.” (I know I said this was about libraries but I just thought that one was interesting).
In 1891, in the town of Springfield, Massachusetts, “of French books, the one most read is Victor Hugo's ‘Les Miserables.’” Of course it’s not just about what people like to read, it’s also about what is considered to be “good literature” and “worth reading” by those in charge. For example, see this headline from the San Pedro News Piolet in 1919
The high school’s librarian writes:
What do we mean by “better books?” During the last hour I have been considering the subject with a group of young people who happened to be gathered in the school library for study. The discussion was precipitated by the following request from a young girl:
“Please get me something to read that will be good for, me.” You may think that such a request must be either unusual or insincere, but it is neither. It comes to me constantly in one form or another. “What is a real good story?” “I want something beside fiction.” “Will this book be good enough to make an English report on?” “What is the difference between Harold Bell Wright’s stories and those of Ralph Connor?” etc., etc. The debate today drew into its vortex all the occupants of the study hall and, at times, grew a little warm. Several were enthusiastic supporters of Harold Bell Wright, and I tried to explain to them the difference between the sentimental, poorly written novel and the vigorous tale of adventure and romance. The following list of books is the one the young girl in question actually considered reading. It might be interesting to look through the titles and check those we have read or that we know something about. They can all be found at the public library, and I feel sure that anyone who reads them all will be richly rewarded. To make the acquaintance of a great book is in itself an education. She chose from the list Les Miserables, the greatest of all novels. If she reads it intelligently it will be an addition to her mental life that she must appreciate and feel as long as she lives and thinks. Following is the list: Victory — Joseph Conrad. Adam Bede — George Eliot. Fathers and Sons — Turgenev. Smoke — Turgenev. The Crime of Sylvester Bonnard — Anatole France. The Rise of Silas Lapham — William U. Howells. A Modern Instance — William D. Howells. Eugenie Grandet — Balzac. The Iron Woman — Margaret Deland. Anna Karenina —Tolstoy. Les Miserables — Victor Hugo. Jane Eyre—Charlotte Broute [sic]. This is a chapter from real life, and this list is given because it is one actually discussed on this occasion. Other lists as good might be made.
A little out of order for the timeline but that same theme was explored by E.L. Kellogg, the library of the Carnegie library located in San Luis Obispo in 1917 and she had this to say:
But the reading of light, overdrawn, ephemeral fiction only, is a species of intemperance, which not only vitiates the taste, but shuts out a whole world of profit and pleasure among the works of real genius. There is Dickens whose “every page is crowded with jostling life,” to read whom is like taking a walk down some "highway of life where we may come into contact with humanity.” What a pity to go through life unacquainted with the episode of the stolen candle-sticks In Les Miserables, or the splendid Doctor of the Old School in The Bonnie Brier Bush!
In the San Mateo Daily News Leader, in 1912, it was reported that the local library was able to purchase “a handsome four volume edition of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables with recent gift money.” However reader’s desiring other books not in the library’s collection, they would have to consult the state library or “kindly confer with the librarian. If a number of books are ordered at one time the cost for each applicant will be trifling. Expressage is the only expense.”
Books were not just for solitary reading and individual improvement. As reported in the Hanford Journal in December of 1913:
There are a number of useful books and magazines that are full of the suggestions that will aid any one who plans on entertaining during the holidays. These volumes will be found at the Hanford public library: Powers' “Dialogues for Little Folks” contains a couple of plays for children, entitled a “Christmas Gift” and “Edna’s Christmas Wishbones.” Knight's “Dramatic Reader for Grammar Grades” gives Dickens' famous story of "Ebenezer Scrooge's Christmas," written in dramatic form, and "Little Cosette” and “Father Christmas” adapted from Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables.” [Wow I just learned about another adaptation thanks to this.]
Great holiday fun for the whole family. In 1916 they got a whole lot of new books in Calexico (sorry for the low quality. Les Mis is in there):
In 1911 an advice columnist for the San Francisco Call advised readers that “if you have never read ‘Les Miserables,’ you might attack that this summer.” (Or, of course, if that isn’t your cup of tea, “promise yourself that you will read a dozen good books on hypnotism and clairvoyance and the other manifestations of the unknown world into which science is trying to peek.) (Two years later that same columnist reported that her neighbor was forced to stop reading most magazines due to financial problems, but that that neighbor had said “It has driven us to make more use of our fine library, and the other day we discovered we hadn’t read half the books on our own shelves. So now I’m absorbed in Les Miserables and Jack is reading one of Thackeray‘s that he hadn’t happened to read — both books right off our own bookshelves.”) And that’s just about it as far as anything remotely interesting goes!

How would you pitch the Armor Wars Disney Plus series?
MAIN PLOT:
Set one year after Tony Stark's death, Stark Industries is going through a rough patch. The company is struggling to figure out how to move forward, resulting in two different camps; Pepper Potts, who wants to continue Tony's dream of world peace and Edwin Cord, a rising businessman who wants to bring back the weapons division.
Part of what's driving the push to resurrect the weapons division is the state of the world. Several countries feel under-equipped to handle threats such as Thanos and are also envious of how advanced Wakanda turned out to be (insert social commentary on neo-colonialism here).
In the midst of this corporate chaos, James "Rhodey" Rhodes is struggling with coming to terms with Tony's death. Rhodes had inherited the Iron Man lab based on Tony's will, but Rhodey feels that he's not the right man for the job, especially since he's not an engineer. As Rhodey contemplates how to move forward in life, he is called back into action when he learns about the rise of the "Fake Iron Men".
Somehow, Tony's tech has slipped into the black market, leading to terrorist/criminal organizations around the world getting their own versions of the Iron Man suits. This, in turn, leads to several countries demanding their own Iron Man suits in order to fight back.
Not wanting to see the legacy of his late best friend be tarnished, Rhodey suits up once again in order to get the bottom of the "Armor Wars" conspiracy.
PLOT DETAILS:
Other characters who make an appearance in the series: Riri Williams (Ironheart), Morgan Stark, Happy Hogan, Shuri, Rhodey's family
Edwin Cord is a red herring villain. Rhodey is led to believe that Cord is the one who sold the suits to the black market in order to create a crisis that would somehow lead to the return of Stark Industries' weapons division. However, it's revealed that Cord is just a greedy businessman who was being used by the real mastermind.
The TRUE main villain of the series is Ultron-5. We learn that the original Ultron created several backups of itself in case they lost the Battle of Sokovia. Ultron-5's plan is to leak Stark technology all over the world in order to destabilize the international community. Instead of trying to destroy the world directly, Ultron-5 wants people to destroy themselves.
In the finale, even though Rhodey defeats Ultron-5, Ultron-5 says that he still won the war because he succeeded in "sharing" Tony's technology to countries all over the world. Now, the level of war that people can wage on themselves has been permanently heightened. So...yeah, my version of "Armor Wars" has a pretty bleak ending.
The one positive here is that Rhodey did prevent Ultron-5 from sparking World War III. Although Tony's technology has been spread all over the world, Rhodey was at least able to maintain peace.
Ultron-5 is destroyed by Rhodey, but it doesn't matter since that just activates another one of Ultron's backups (similar concept to "Detroit Become Human", where a new Connor shows up every time a Connor model is destroyed).
POST-CREDITS SCENE: Vision, who we last saw fleeing Westview, encounters Victor Mancha, the robot-human hybrid son of Ultron-5.

A/N - LONG POST - Here's the part 5 of the GOTHAM ASSASSINS series. Takes place during the last episode of season 1, when Penguin tried to convince Connor, a hitman, to kill Maroni and his underlings. It still follows the main story but there are mostly Y/N and Zsasz interactions in this one.
Hope you'll like it, here are the

Enjoy! 🥰
"We are looking for a dangerous serial killer who was responsible of the murder of numerous women during the last decade. The Ogre..." She cut the TV with a grunt and stretched like a cat.
So Jimbo has indeed decided to play with the big guys and publicly targeted one of the most terrible serial killer in town. The dude had strong steel guts thinking he would catch the Ogre that easely.
Nobody, even her, knew the face of the killer. Only that he was some kind of maniac, obsessed with women who he kept for weeks or months, before killing them and tossing them on the side of the road.
And here comes St James, on his white horse, thinking he'll catch the psycho and succeed where everyone failed. Don't misunderstand her, if someone was capable enough to do it, that would be Jimbo. But at what cost? That, was the interesting question here.
Two bare forearms trapped her throat and tightened around it, and she felt a hot breath just against her left ear which makes her shiver. "Be aware of the terrifying Ogre, who devoured defenseless little lambs" whispered the owner of the voice.
She snorted and lean her head back to watch Zsasz from upside-down, offering him a very tempting view of the delicate flesh of her throat. "Sorry Mister Ogre, but you just really happen to look like an homicidal maniac I know for a long time." She blankly said.
He clicked his tongue in disapproval. "You're no fun". The woman falsely beamed like an idiot and put her finger between his slightly frowned eyebrows. "I absolutely love role-playing with you dearest, but The Ogre doesn't really excite me you know..."
He hummed pensively and finally freed her throat, after putting a peck on her forehead. Zsasz walked around the sofa and sit next to her where he grabbed the remote and launched the TV again. He then leaned back too and put his left arm around her shoulders.
They didn't have much to do that day. A few marks to track on separate ways, then a bit of Oswald stalking at night. Uneventful, really.
Before that, here they were. They bought this flat last year because it was perfectly situated, in the middle of the city. Pretty convenient to store a few weapons, electronics, tools and just relax between two contracts.
Y/N closed her eyes, perfectly at ease, and lulled by the sound of the TV. "Some news about how Maroni will try to deceive Carmine after their touching little truce?" She asked airily while laying down and putting her head on his thigh.
Victor's hand was now playing with her hair pensively and he hummed. "Not really", he seemed disappointed a bit. "Calm before the storm, uh", she mused. "Never liked that bastard. Can't wait to see his third eye being opened with the help of a bullet" She Added.
Victor sneered at her comment and pulled her roots a bit, making her groan. "You don't like much people for starters, sweetness" He said. Y/N cracked an eye open and glared a bit at him, "Look who's talking, Mister psychopath".
He just shrugged her comment in a carefree demeanor. She was right after all, and he wasn't ashamed of it. At all. And she was not that different on the matter, the woman saw more than one horrible thing here in the crime city without being moved by it. And he tends to think that Gotham itself represented one big factor in the numerous cases of sociopathy and psychopathy blooming days after days.
Y/N herself was a good example of it. Psychopathic tendencies appear in general during teenage years. Young teens develop it has a way to deal with violence, and traumatic events. She did it so well, that she never ever look aside during his best torturing sessions. She stayed perfectly still, watching him as if he was painting or doing some mundane activities.
From what he knows, she used to be a wary little thing, cunning enough to survive in the Narrows and escape human and organ trafic which were two of the top activities in this part of the city.
She told him she had once been abducted and placed in a brothel. She litteraly cut her client in half with one of his own blades, decapitated him and scared the shit out of the clients and staff.
When the manager came and saw the massacre, he was ready to kill her like a mad dog. But she had been cunning enough to offer him a deal: ruining his rivals business by infiltrating them and perform the same slaughter to scare the clients enough to never come back again. It was a big bet on her life, but the manager accepted the offer.
The brothel slaughtering was her first contract. And even him, before his spiraling to hell, heard about it. The cops and coroners rarely saw a massacre like this one that time.
After his fall from sanity, a bit after he started to work as Falcone's hitman, he had to find her for a trivial thing. The Godfather didn't appreciate the death of one of his closest men she had kill for a contract. And when he stalked her and found out about the brothel slaughtering, he had became a big fan of her work.
That was probably why he didn't shoot her from distance that day and choose to broke in her flat to see what she was going to do.
And man, she didn't disappoint. Without using force, just with her silver tongue, she snaked her way out of Carmine blacklist with only a few words. She also convinced him to offer her a job. The rest was history.
--
*Are you already in position?* Asked a voice in her earpiece. Y/N was currently on the top of a building, laying down on her stomach and aiming at an empty street, minus some cars driving down the road.
"Not my favorite one to be honest, dearest", she hummed quietly. "I would much prefer lay on my back, like a few hours ago", She sneered with a toothy grin she was sure Victor could picture right now.
"Now, now, don't flirt during work sweetness, and don't tease me, I need to be able to walk without a painful pointer at my twelve" He chastised. This time, she chuckled. "Your problem, Vic. Now, back to business, I can see the car", she whispered.
He grunted in approval inside of her ear. "Same here, the two rats left their little secret reunion at the same time. Ready?" He asked.
"Since the day I was born". They pulled the trigger at the same time then looked down the street just in time to see the impact of the bullet and the blood on the windshield. While two drivers seemed to lose control of their black vehicles at the same time and in two opposite districts in Gotham, the assassins reloaded their gun.
"Mine is exiting the car", said Y/N just before a second muffled shot resonated and an Italian mobster fell on the floor, hit in the head. "Got him", she stated.
The silence from the other side, made her frown but didn't stopped her to place her riffle in a suit case then leaving her hidding spot. "Dearest?" She asked after a minute.
"Shot the mark but have some cops on my tail right now", She heard him sighed. "Need a hand?" Asked the henchwoman. "More you giving me a head, love."
"You can't knock out cops using your boner, Vic. Even a pretty honorable one, it would be a first in the history. Need help or no?" She asked, ignoring his previous comment.
"No, they'll become sweet sweet scars on my body in a min. Hang on." He purred. She rolled her eyes and walked to the fire esacpace stairs, climbing down. Soon, a few pained cries resonated in her earpiece and she sighed. "You're having a ball right now. Don't deny it Vic. You wanted all the fun for yourself, you greedy little thing".
He chuckled then admitted. "Guilty. How disappointing, they never last that much..." Now it was her turn to chuckled. "Don't pout dearest, makes you act like a brat after".
"You're the brat sweetness and I am the brat tamer" He growled a bit. "Eh, don't daddy me now, my love. I'm much more a mommy than a brat anyway." She laughed. "Let's put a brat in mommy then" He mocked and she can't repressed a shiver of disgust. "Nope, not even with a fucking gun pointing at my head". She said. "Now that's my woman~"
--
Hidding among the population had always been one of her talents. She just had to use the back door with Butch complicity to walk in Oswald's club. The poor brainwashed dear was loyal to Penguin, yes, but his maker's orders were absolute.
Here she was, blending in the shadows, looking Oswald from afar. The little conspirator was actively talking with Connor, another prolific assassin in Gotham, just after Victor and her. "Look at that little snake", she snorted quietly. "I can see that. Connor, uh. How disappointing", said Victor in her earpiece.
Since he was esay to spot in the club, they agreed for Zsasz to stay at their flat, spying via the cameras she hacked back when Fish was the owner of the club.
On the other hand, she, would enter inside and check what the ex-snitch was doing. And his little discussion with Connor wasn't good. Cobblepot was scheming something.
When the duo finally seemed to agree on something, Y/N waited to see Oswald walks back in his office and followed him a bit after. In front of the door, the drawed one of her guns. "Can't see what he's doing sweetness, stay alert", said Victor's voice in her ear. She hummed quietly and finally decided to open the double doors.
When she walked in, Oswald was behind his desk and lifted his head with a schoked face. "Y/N!" He squealed. "Oswald dear", she greeted with a calm voice and pointed directly her gun at him. "Now, now, how good your acting skills are, Mister Cobblepot. I can now see how you were able to deceive Fish, then Maroni. You've got some strong talent here".
The young man frowned and sighed deeply. He lifted his right hand, which had taken a gun from under his desk. "Bloody harlot" She heard him muttered. "Relax Penguin. Why don't you put your toy on the desk first, uh? You know you have no chance to be faster than me at this little shooting game. Victor is the only one to have that skill", She said while hearing said hitman cooed stupidly in her earpiece.
When Oswald put the gun on the desk, she walks until she was able to grab it. But the man was sly enough to draw a blade and pin it in on the surface. She just had the time to extend her fingers and dodge the weapon which was now deeply stuck right between her thumb and her index.
Y/N put the cold metal of the barrel of her gun against Oswald forehead. "Ha-ha-haaaa~" She warned him and lifted the security. "Swift, aren't we? Sorry to ruin your moment, but Maroni is more agile than you and even he, has some struggles touching me." She threw Oswald gun away in the room and took the blade in her now free hand. "I'll keep that, if you don't mind."
Threatened by the gun and the blade, Cobblepot was now livid. "Look, Y/N. I just wanted to defend myself, nothing personal here" He tried to argue quickly. "Against what? Aren't we suppose to be part of the same time, dearie?" She purred while he gulped loudly.
"Well, just so you know, you are quite intimidating. And I would be a fool to not be wary when you're around" He stated. She laughed airily, "My you have a valid point here Mister Cobblepot" But she suddenly lose her enthusiasm.
"You should indeed be veeeery wary when I am here and also when I'm not. I told you we'd see everything you would do." She put some distance between them and place the blade in her back, between her shirt and pencil skirt. "Now, I really would like to know why you were meeting one of Gotham's top assassins in here tonight." She said.
He blinked a few time and relaxed just a bit seeing her less aggressive posture. "I had a mission for him. Since Victor and you are devoted to Don Falcone, it's only natural that I try to find my own assassin's team, isn't it?" He answered with a convincing smile.
But he jolted and screamed when the cristal glass just behind his head was shot and exploded, hurting him a bit. "Cut the crap. Or next time I'll blow your ear Penguin. " She said with zero emotion on her face and her sharp eyes firmly locked into his. He was trembling like a leaf.
"I-I... Ok! OK! Please calm down. I made a contract with Connor ok? I asked him to kill Maroni. I know he'll be in a bar to celebrate Tommy Bones' return!" He said, now sweating bullets.
The silence which answered him was oppressive and he had to hold his breath and pray to see another day. "You want to kill Sal. Why would you do that exactly?" She finally asked.
"To prove my sincerity to Don Falcone! To prove him he can trust me and that I'm on his side!" He snapped. Again, a tensed silence answered. Then, he saw her slowly put her gun down. "Alright." She said. "Alright?" He asked skeptically. "You'll have to call the Don to tell him, but alright. I'll not interfere further in your grand Master plan." She explained. "But please pay an extreme attention at what I am going to say, Oswald." In a few steps, she was on him, looming on him and gripping his jaw painfully. "Be very careful about what you are going to do in the next days. Or it could backfire pretty badly. Got it?"
Penguin nodded quickly and closed his eyes, too scared to look into hers. He didn't move until he heard the 'click' of the double doors.
--
She was in the gloomy streets, walking peacefully. "What do you think, my love?" Asked finally Victor who stayed silent during all her interaction with Oswald. He trusted her judgment, deeply when it comes to find out what a potential foe was planning. He was himself pretty smart and sharp, in an instinctive way, but he had to admit that Y/N's capacity to think two or three steps ahead made her better at plotting. A quality she shared with Carmine. "I'm calling Carmine before the rat". She said in a very cold tone. She was furious.
She didn't had to wait too much for him to answer, and she made sure to find a spot on a roof where she wouldn't be seen nor heard. "What are the news Y/N? " Asked Carmine in his Godfather's demanding tone.
"Just came out from Penguin's club. He enrolled a killer to blow Maroni's head tomorrow during the celebration of Bones new freedom." She said quickly. "I told him to call you and inform you himself. He doesn't have the choice now." She added.
"What were his reasons, to do it without informing me before?" Asked again Falcone in a cold tone.
"A full package of bullshit to be honest, Carmine. May I speak freely?" She asked too. The Italian boss chuckled but hummed. After all he told her himself that she was now allowed to talk when she wanted to.
"I think he's plotting against you. I don't know how exactly, maybe he asked Connor to send lame underlings and fail the mission, maybe he wants to send him to negociate with Maroni and will plot against him later again, or something else completely. But I think you are his main target, Carmine. And he'll not be the one to directly pull the trigger on you, he's too fucking coward to do that. But he's clever enough to make other people do it. Directly or indirectly."
Falcone let a very long silence on the line after that. Then, after two solid minutes he sighed deeply and tiredly. "All those traitors, the betrayals, the shootings, I'm tired of this." She clicked her tongue and sighed too, "If you're tired, prepare your retirement and go spend the rest of your life in a boring mundain way somewhere safe. I don't know, buy horses, chickens again... God the chickens... Do some gardening, cook pastas... But don't you fucking dare die here, die on Victor and I, because of a petty power struggle you don't care about anymore." She was harsh but he needed to be told that.
Carmine Falcone needed to step back, maybe, but not killed by an opportunistic brat. He was respected here in Gotham, he was a legend and guaranteed 30years of relative peace, which was incredible, knowing the monster which was the city.
She heard another long sigh. "You've got quite the sharp and foul mouth, you know that my dear?" He mocked a bit. "But you're right. I need to plan my retirement properly before things go south. Thank you, Y/N. See you at the mansion."
She hang up and started walking again. "I'm in the car, sweetness. I'm taking you then we join the boss" Zsasz said and she hummed. Now it was their turn to plot against Penguin.

Who Are the Four Horsemen of the Dream SMP Apocalypse?
Art by: Viktor Vasnetsov
[TW’s: torture, death, murder, manipulation, alcohol, substance abuse, discussions about the end of the world, religion, starvation, violence, implied gambling, blood, alcoholism]
Word Count: 3.5k
INTRODUCTION
Hopefully I finish this before I feel too sleep-deprived, but I’ve been thinking about the presence of horsemen in Quackity’s “My Enemies” stream. These mysterious, hooded figures are quite odd to say the least, and their involvement with Las Nevadas still remains unknown. There has been a debate on whether there were three horsemen or four, and in my opinion, I believe that there are four horsemen present.
Why four? In the first scene, three horsemen arrive at the Dream SMP on a dark and stormy night. They seem to have come from the south, entering Eret’s castle from the back. As they stop to pull their Netherite swords out, air raid sirens are heard from the distance.
Similarly, in the last scene, Quackity is seen placing a book in Wilbur’s memorial before leaving, riding his skeleton horse, Ossium. The scene cuts from first person POV to third, and we see a hooded figure, presumably Quackity because of how both came from the same direction. Additionally, air raid sirens are also heard from a distance.
[MORE UNDER THE CUT!]
I theorize that these two scenes take place at the same time. The prequel scenes only began after we see the sequence of Quackity torturing Dream, and it ends after the flashbacks of Wilbur. We can synthesize that both these scenes are set at the same time, and that these horsemen are going to meet at a certain point on the prime path.
What may suggest that these four horsemen are supposed to be parallels to the biblical four horsemen?
Firstly, seeing the bits they do, Quackity and Schlatt do know a lot of biblical references. Schlatt has compared Tubbo to Jesus once, and Quackity has said many prayers as jokes in the Dream SMP. It’s just… easy to take inspiration from biblical symbols and references, and also, the four horsemen are just very popular figures in history, so you know, why not?
Also, this may also sound RIDICULOUS, but the fact that this stream establishes that Tommy got resurrected three days after he got killed is actually very reminiscent of, well, you guessed it, Jesus Christ. 72 hours is oddly specific, and I don’t think the cc’s made it that way for no reason. Tommy’s parallels to Jesus—which is a VERY funny phrase—could imply that the Dream SMP might draw more parallels to Christianity, and the four horsemen could be another one of these references.
Also, Quackity mentioned how in Las Nevadas, he made four casinos for him and the rest of El Rapids. So, we know four is a number we can associate with Las Nevadas, and there’s a chance Quackity gave these casinos to three other people. Four casinos, four horsemen.
What is the purpose of the four horsemen in the Dream SMP? When the air raid sirens went off, we can think of these four horsemen as the bringer of chaos or danger into the Dream SMP, very reminiscent of the purpose of the original four horsemen in Christianity. We can also connect it to the end of the world, as these four only appear when the world begins to end. This can imply that these four, who are most likely allies of Quackity in Las Nevadas, are somewhat connected to how the Dream SMP will end.
Now, who is who? Admittedly, it is difficult to find a definitive answer on which member represents what horseman, so I’ll try my best considering all the possibilities for each. I’ll add my own ranks on how probable I think they are, but I have to specify that these are subjective- I am not a beacon of truth, y’all.
So let’s get started.
Firstly, I want to discuss who might NOT be a horseman to narrow it down a bit:
Any minors might not be involved. In Sam’s face reveal stream, aka the first stream mentioning Las Nevadas, Quackity and Sam agree they don’t want Tubbo and Tommy to participate in underage gambling. Don’t know if this applies to Ranboo and Fundy (since he might be canonically a child? Who knows), so they get more of a pass, but the clingy duo might not.
The Syndicate. I’d like to think that the Syndicate, as well as Dream, are Quackity’s main foils of the server. As they are the richest and also the most skilled in PVP, Quackity stands no chance against them even with his sharp tongue. As these people are foils against Quackity, and also probably hate his guts, Quackity might not hire them at Las Nevadas. I theorize he’d probably use Dream as a watchdog against the Syndicate, but that’s a theory for another time.
Additional point about Dream: he’s in prison.
Anyone from Kinoko Kingdom because it’s clear Quackity severed all ties with them.
The Eggpire is half-half. They can possibly join, but also can’t, Quackity can manipulate them into joining only for their inevitable demise, or Quackity wouldn’t wanna associate with them after the explosion incident. They’ll at least get a few passes in some categories, but again, not entirely sure.
CONQUEST
Also known as Plague, Pestilence, and in some occasions, both Jesus Christ and the Antichrist, Conquest is shown to be riding on a white horse, donning a victor’s crown and a bow. There are many interpretations of Conquest, especially with their ambiguous morality. Some people can perceive them as bad, representing the origin of many wars. Some people claim that they represent pestilence and plague as their arrows are slathered with the infections they want to spread. In some cases, they can also be interpreted as good, as their description is heavily reminiscent of Jesus Christ himself. Others would rebut that there is also a possibility that they might be a fake replica of Jesus created by Satan, thus making them the antichrist.
Sam (8/10)
Sam is my first choice when it comes to Conquest because, firstly, he fits the appearance. He is one of the only people in the Dream SMP who dons a crown, and they also possess a bow which they frequently use. I’d say that Sam as Conquest matches with his ambitions as a member of the Badlands, Pestilence or Plague match with his possible crimson infection, and Antichrist matches with his inability to keep Tommy, the possible Jesus figure on the SMP, alive or safe.
My only issue is: would Sam be one of the three who arrived at the Dream SMP in the beginning? Sam is very strict with his job as warden, so it is unlikely that he would be seen far from it.
Any of the Eggpire (7/10)
As Conquest is heavily depicted with pestilence or plague, any of the Eggpire may fit under this category. As their goal as the Eggpire is meant to conquer the Dream SMP, this also matches with the goal of Conquest. Additionally, one of the Egg’s weaknesses is Church Prime, something heavily resembling Christianity, so if the Egg is its opposite, we can view the Egg as somewhat of an antichrist.
I say Punz, Bad, Ponk, and Hannah have a higher chance of being Conquest, while Ant is a solid ‘maybe’. Punz could’ve been the one who blew up the Egg, Bad can be easily persuaded by Quackity, Ponk is one of the only capitalists of the server that may participate in Las Nevadas, and Hannah’s character heavily fits the theme of pestilence when it comes to nature. Additionally, I like to believe that Conquest was the horseman on the skeleton horse (that isn’t Quackity’s), especially since they were holding a dandelion in one shot, something that could be attributed to “pestilence” because a dandelion is a weed. This may imply that Hannah could be part, but because they haven’t interacted much beforehand, we wouldn’t be sure. More insight on Punz: he once mentioned he upholds his duties as mercenary more than he might love the Egg, so there’s a chance Quackity bribed him to join Las Nevadas.
The main con to this is that: why would the Eggpire willingly join Quackity, or why would the Egg allow them to join Quackity? I can see that Quackity might break their brainwashed states because he has a good way with words, but people like Bad, Ant, and Punz have stated that they’ve been fully controlled by the Egg. Also, Quackity makes it clear he wants to eradicate his enemies, so he might not want any members of the Eggpire to join Las Nevadas… unless there’s a traitor?
Schlatt, Mexican Dream, or Wilbur (6/10)
Heavily connected with winning if you take Manberg, Mexican L’Manberg, or L’Manberg into mind.
Wilbur also has a memorable crossbow, but I don’t know if that counts as a bow.
Any dead characters have a high chance of joining Las Nevadas because of its possible connections to death and the revival system of the SMP.
Other possibilities with short explanations and low but possible odds:
Eret: Has a crown, his betrayal can be seen as a “win”, has Tommy’s bow from the duel. Can be seen as an antichrist figure.
Jack: As he is against Tommy, he can be seen as an antichrist figure. Might be working with Las Nevadas because of his deal with Quackity.
Ranboo: He’s a minor, but he also has a crown and a bow so, maybe? He’s not much of a conqueror or winner, though.
Connor: Didn’t really conquer much, didn’t really win much, he’s just here because of Schlatt, honestly.
WAR
War is depicted to be holding a raised sword as they ride atop a red horse. After conquest, war is expected to follow, and War is tasked to break any type of peace on earth. He is tasked to kill, or make humans kill each other. The prominence of red symbolizes bloodshed or immense anger, something very present in war. Multiple depictions of War show him with his sword raised upwards, signifying the start of a battle.
Schlatt (9/10)
The man’s literally torn the Dream SMP apart (/lh). This man is always keen on fulfilling his goals, and if it means he’ll have to fulfill them in the most twisted of ways, he will do it. Him winning the Election brought immense conflict in the Dream SMP, and many people were torn apart on which side was the right or wrong side. One of Schlatt’s prominent colors besides blue would be red, as it is the color of his tie and the color of his ghost form’s horns. Red could represent the bloodshed of those who died during the Manberg-Pogtopia conflict, or red can signify the anger Schlatt had for his own cabinet.
Schlatt was also gifted a sword by Dream called “Shclatt”. The sword only holds heavy significance because of how Fundy treasured it like an heirloom.
Wilbur (8/10)
Another good possibility too as Ghostbur was recently seen to admire red a lot more than blue in one of Tommy’s streams. We can also view the creation of L’Manberg as a place that broke the peace in the Dream SMP as they didn’t really NEED to create L’Manberg and declare war, yet, he did. Red can also resemble his anger for what has been done to L’Manberg- everything is pretty self-explanatory, honestly.
My only qualm with Wilbur being one of the horsemen is how we can’t really… tell if he’s in the Dream SMP? He seems to be very clear on the fact that he does NOT want to return, so he might not even be there when the four horsemen became a thing.
Any of the Eggpire (7/10)
Honestly? Same reasoning as the first explanation for the Eggpire. This also applies for why they might not be one of the horsemen.
Do I even need to explain the red part, or do we just all understand that red is literally their brand.
The Eggpire practically breaks peace in the server and is keen on taking control of the entirety of the Dream SMP. The Egg is shown to be ruthless towards anyone, and will even let some of its followers kill people if needed.
I see Bad as someone who might qualify for this position more because he initiates a lot of the activity in the Eggpire. Same goes for Ant, Punz, and Ponk, but they don’t really take initiative most of the time.
Jack Manifold (4/10)
The only reason I kind of added him here was that he wanted to kill Tommy, but Jack isn’t entirely selfish or peace-breaking. I do think he might play a role in Las Nevadas, especially since if Quackity has access to the nukes, only Jack and Ranboo might be the only two who helped him gain access.
Jack is also… very angry at Tommy. Rightfully so, because he basically surrounded a good portion of his life trying to kill Tommy only for him to realize that that might not be his purpose in life. He blames Tommy for a lot of the loss in the server, so he has a lot of anger, but he has no one to vent it all out to.
Other possibilities with short explanations and low but possible odds:
Eret: Did the first betrayal, but that’s about it. He’s also participated in several wars against others who disagreed with him being the king.
Ranboo: Participated in wars, but is a peacemaker so, y’know.
Fundy: While he does possess Schlatt’s sword, he isn’t much of an initiator of wars as much as he is merely a follower. He has shown that he is quite angry at those who have used him, but the anger has dissipated lately into some sort of sadness/denial.
Connor: He’s mournful that Schlatt, a close friend, has died, but he isn’t really one to be angry. He tried living far away to make his own independent nation, but it didn’t impact much of the story. He also one possessed “Ghostbur’s Stabbing Knife”, which could represent the sword.
FAMINE
Famine is seen to be holding a scale (presumably for food) as they ride atop a horse. Famine is also denoted to be the only one speaking, saying “A quart of wheat for a denarius! And three quarts of barley for a denarius! But don’t ruin the oil and the wine!”. This statement basically means that we have to pay a full day’s worth of earnings for a bit of wheat and barley but oil and the wine, something not considered human necessities, can have the same prices. This shows an unfairness when it comes to acquiring basic human necessities. This is especially damaging to the poor as Famine’s statement can possibly make the poor poorer, while the rich remain the same. It is implied that the wider the gap between the poor and the rich, the closer we are to the end of the world.
Fundy (9/10)
This may be a long answer because I am biased towards Fundy, but Niki once stated that Manberg was in some sort of a famine because of the destruction of farms. Because of this, certain citizens have resorted into eating spider eyes from the EXP farm, but it was notable that she was practically calling out Fundy, someone who literally advertised spider eyes to any person he talked to in the Dream SMP.
Fundy is also hinted to be heavily connected to these hooded figures somehow. In his dream, he was chased by one until he slept in a black bed, the color of Famine.
Additionally, in his dream, he held baked potatoes (food) which could be related…? He’s also a libra so… scales…?
He is also a notorious prankster in the Dream SMP and will bargain for anything as long as he profits from it. He’s not the richest by any means, but he loves doing pranks that involve stealing belongings from other people.
Schlatt (8/10)
Similar reason to Fundy as he was the president of Manberg responsible for these famines. Additional note for this is that he also taxed Niki, one of their only food sources in Manberg.
Schlatt also likes to joke around about being rich, earning money, or being a businessman often, especially with the entire Schlatt coin joke. Connected to Famine’s trait of making the rich richer, possibly?
Famine’s statement can also apply here as it is implied that if humanity doesn’t possess the basic of necessities, they might at least have wine which won’t provide any solutions to humanity’s starvation at all, but it will distract you from your starvation by making you heavily drunk until you finally die. This is very reminiscent of how Schlatt died.
Sam (6/10)
Sam is one of the richest people on the server, matching Famine’s want to keep the rich rich. Only problem here is that Sam is at least very generous and provides a lot of people with resources when needed.
Sam could possibly be connected to Famine because of how he treats Dream in prison. In an attempt to torture Dream, he starves him, cutting his food supply.
Same problem remains with Sam not being able to join whatever the hell the four horsemen are because of his duties as warden.
Any of the Syndicate (1/10)
Only giving an exception here because the Syndicate is exceptionally rich and is more selfish about it than others. Low chances, but Ranboo… might? But it’s still a bit iffy for me. Niki might as well because of her connections to the Manbergian famine, but still on the fence with this one too.
DEATH
Death is often depicted riding a pale horse, but some variations have called the horse light green. Death does not don a weapon themselves, but they are always accompanied by Hades. Hades in Christianity is the place or state of the departed spirits, meaning Death has contact with those who have died. Sometimes, Death is depicted with a scythe similar to the Grim Reaper, but some say Death has no weapon at all as Death themself is the weapon. Death is not only meant to collect souls and end lives, but they can also represent the end of an era of humanity.
Quackity (10/10)
I would say Quackity can fit any other category, but I am so sure that Quackity is death because of how death and toying with death seems to be one of Quackity’s main themes in the Dream SMP. Quackity, once hesitant about killing others, has been shown to now impulsively want to kill others: first with Techno, then Ranboo, then Dream.
Quackity will also most likely acquire information about revival on the Dream SMP, so he is in close proximity with Hades, or in the Dream SMP, the Void. This also heavily ties in with the idea that he will make others gamble away their canon lives only for him to resurrect or return their canon lives if they ever successfully gamble it back.
Quackity is also known to be very powerless in terms of PVP and battle, but you know what he succeeds in? His own words. He is his own weapon that can get him whatever he wants as long as the person he’s up against is in a vulnerable position.
He is also confirmed to be one to have a skeleton horse, and some depictions of Death’s horse show that it is very corpse-like.
A bloody scythe can also be seen in Quackity’s first lore teaser, and that can be attributed to Death.
Other possibilities with short explanations and low but possible odds:
Schlatt: First owned the revival book but he literally does not know its contents. Fits the “they are their own weapon” trait.
Dream: The only exception I can give. But again, he is literally in prison…?
Wilbur & Mexican Dream: Only putting these two here because they have experienced death. These two fit the “they are their own weapon” category too.
Connor: Wants to revive Schlatt, but that’s it.
CONCLUSION
Honestly, my first conclusion for the four horsemen were Sam/Conquest, Schlatt/War, Fundy/Famine, and Quackity/Death, but I only see Quackity as Death to be something that is HIGHLY possible. For Conquest, I shift between Sam and one of the Eggpire, for War, I shift between Wilbur and Schlatt, and for Famine, I shift between Fundy and Schlatt. Again, no definitive answer, but I’d love to hear your own thoughts on this.
I am very tired, but also remember to reblog if you do enjoy this! Again, would love to hear your own insights, and would appreciate any type of discussion! :D

Introducing My Fallout OCs!
OMGGGG y’all, I can’t. I’ve apparently reached over 200 of you fantabulous followers and I am so ecstatic! I honestly don’t even know if this is considered a milestone or anything, but I was super psyched, so I'm doing something about it, dang it!
Also, just a heads up on me right now, I just started school again, so my posting miiiiiiight be a bit sporadic every now and then, but I’m determined to still try and get a few posts out every week, so we’ll see how that goes. I’m also pretty backed up on requests at the moment, I’m still accepting them for the time being, but I may turn off my asks if I’m finding difficulty getting to everyone.
Anyways, I know I don’t ever really talk about my Fallout Original Characters, but I’m thinking of doing some stuff with them in the future, so this seemed like a good place to start 🤷♀️ So, here they are! One from each of the 3 FO games I write for. If ya’ll want to send in any asks about these folks, please feel free to do so!
(Art for these peeps is pending potentially as well).
My Lone Wanderer: Hope
Appearance:
- Basically like a black-haired, blue eyed Sarah Connor (y’know, from Terminator), she’s got a small frame, but is an absolute beast. She loves to change up her hair, but prefers the iron maiden, unladylike, or rude ridge styles and will often dye it bright-ass colors, cuz why not? She’s pretty pale considering the vault background and the fact she is constantly wearing full body combat or leather armor when she’s outdoors, and she has a few piercings she actually got before leaving the vault.
What’s in a Name:
- “Hope” was the name that her parents chose for her before she was even born, but she can’t stand it, she just tends to see it as a cruel joke in the world they live in. She instead goes by Effie (short for Ephialtes, cuz she’s edgy and dramatic and read too much in school). Hope tends not to tell anyone her real name, and if she does, you’d best not use it to refer to her, unless you like being enslaved. The only one who could ever get away with it is Jericho and a select few people from the vault (Stanley, and her father, but she’s still not happy about it.)
Sexuality:
- Pansexual
Main Companion:
- Jericho
Relationship(s):
- She has a sort of “friends with benefits” type situation going with Jericho, but it ends up getting... complicated, and turning somewhat into a relationship.
Bestie(s):
- Even though he’s her boss, Hope likes to hang out with Eulogy when she’s in Paradise Falls. When she was in the vault, she spent a lot of time with Stanley, and was pretty close with Butch, Wally, and Paul as well.
Fam Dam:
- James and Catherine are/were her parents (obviously). But she also considered Stanley to be a sort of uncle to her.
Karma:
- Oh, the worst. She’s honestly awful. She steals, she murders, she enslaves, she blows up settlements, all of it. She’s got a lot of things she needs to work out...
Faction of Choice:
- The Slavers of Paradise Falls. (Yeah... she sucks.) The Brotherhood and the Outcasts just never really struck her fancy, and her and Jericho found it was easy to make bank with the slavers. Hope also is a friend to Allistair Tenpenny and Mister Burke... and not the folks in Megaton. Cuz they’re all not really alive.
Vault Occupation:
- Engineer
Fun Fact!:
- Hope is really bad with empathy, and absolutely needs to experience something for herself before she can make any sort of judgement on it, or other people who have had that same experience.
My Courier Six: Sage
Appearence:
- Sage doesn’t really consider herself very “flashy” in comparison to most folks in NV. She’s got shoulder length brown hair (blast back or clean cut style) and brownish-hazel eyes. She’s pretty damn tan (Mojave, you know) and doesn’t have many scars, but the ones on the right side of her forehead clearly indicate where she was shot in the head (thanks, Benny). She and Boone tend to twin quite a bit, with matching red berets and sunglasses.
What’s in a Name:
- The poor girl has no clue what her real name was before she was shot, but she saw a box of labelled herbs in Doc Mitchell’s house when she was recovering from her headwounds and decided she liked the name “Sage.”
Sexuality:
- Bisexual
Main Companion:
- Craig Boone
Relationship:
- Also Boone :) it’s a pretty darn slow-burn romance with lots of bumps along the way, but their love always seems to prevail. (Gross and sappy, I know)
Bestie(s):
- Arcade, plus Rex, and ED-E. Also Victor and Doc Mitchell.
Fam Dam:
- No clue, unfortunately. She eventually tries to find out something about her past and her family, if she has any, but she’s got a few things to deal with first (hint, one rhymes with pleaser’s fleegion).
Karma:
- She may make mistakes along the way, but Sage really does try her best to be as good as possible.
Faction of Choice:
- Mr. House and the Followers of the Apocalypse. Would like to get rid of House, but can't bring herself to become responsible for everything once he's gone. She considers herself his personal empathy and tries to assist with the goings on of the Mojave even after the battle of hoover dam. Fucking wiped out everyone in the Legion. Her and Boone are a force to be reckoned with. And she never really cared much for the Brotherhood since she had such little interaction with them. She has a good relationship with Freeside and most of the settlements/other towns as well.
Previous Occupation:
- Courier? She has no idea what else. But she’s oddly really good with medicine 🤔
Fun Fact!:
- She supports Mr. House for a number of reasons, but one of the biggest is that she doesn't want to lose Victor. He saved her, and she considers the securitron to be her oldest friend (besides Doc Mitchell). She knows it's a little selfish, but she can't bring herself to put an end to him after he pulled her from her own grave and helped bring her back from the brink of death.
My Sole Survivor: Jolene Arvanidis-Ryan
Appearence:
- She’s got auburn hair she usually keeps cut short (clean cut) or in a bun, green eyes, pale skin with a good amount of freckles and has exceptionally straight teeth (braces suck, but you know.) When traveling with Cait, people tend to think they’re related. Jolene tends to wear a black beret and, if she has the time and resources, she likes cat eye style eyeliner.
What’s in a Name:
- Her first name runs in the family... plus her dad really liked Dolly Parton, so that helped cement the first name for him. Nate’s last name was Arvanidis, and she tends to use that as her last name exclusively, she rarely reveals her maiden name (Ryan) to anyone.
Sexuality:
- Straight
Main Companion:
- Paladin Danse
Relationship:
- It takes a long time (post BB), but she ends up being with Danse.
Bestie(s):
- MacCready and Cait
Fam Dam:
- Pre-war, her father was a carpenter and her mother was a major in the US military, she had no siblings and was very close with her father since her mom was often away on deployment.
Karma:
- Decent. Tries her best to do what’s “right,” but she sometimes has a hard time determining what that is. Is good at following orders, even if she doesn’t always agree with them (BB is the exception in this case).
Faction of Choice:
- Brotherhood of Steel, at least until BB, then she tends to focus more on the Minutemen, but still stays by the BOS’s side when it comes to taking down the Institute. Despite her loyalty to the BOS, she always regrets what she did to the Railroad, and how she ended things with the Institute, and she holds quite a bit of resentment towards Elder Maxson for ordering her to pull the trigger that ended her son’s life, and the other lives within the Institute.
Previous Occupation (Pre-War):
- She was a Gunnery Sergeant in the US Military. (Trying to follow in her mother’s footsteps).
Fun Fact!:
- She hates killing feral ghouls, but keeps it under wraps since she tends to travel with MacCready and Danse the most. After that random encounter where she found herself murdering her own neighbors, she can’t bring herself to look into the eyes of any feral ghouls she has to kill.
Bonus! Fun Fact!:
- She started out as my sort of "throw away" playthrough where I wanted to do a BOS run, just out of curiosity, but she ended up being my main playthrough… probably because Danse is just the best and I can't get enough of that tin can thesaur-ass.

Think fast! *shoots you with special interest laser set to "Supermental"*
OH SHIT FUCK MY SPECIAL INTEREST okay this ended up WAYYYYYY longer than expected so look under the cut for me rambling about these fellas.
so basically it’s a planned video game about a pair of young thieves who according to the cancelled kickstarter unknowingly steal the very perception of reality. it stars victor “smack” alifraizer, a respected psychic pugilist who can stretch and contort his body as he pleases, and his best friend jackson “pent” pent, a gambling boomerang slinging young man with a fondness for alcohol and video games.
it takes place on the fictional island of nickville square that we don’t know very much about besides that everyone goes by nicknames and it has several interesting features like a volcano, a beach, and a huge building for an unknown “itg corp” but it’s likely these things have no real bearing on the plot
speaking of the plot, aside from the previously stated ‘stealing the perception of reality thing’ we don’t know very much. we Do know a little about the titular artifact, the supermental, an object from another world. it’s said that when completed that to put it simply, it takes thoughts from the user’s mind and makes them into tangible things. though you can’t choose what happens, it just does.
we also know the main antagonist: a mysterious man known as deja. he’s mostly a mystery thus far, all we know is he’s a kind of madman “can’t comprehend his own motive”, “committing to wild actions of his own volition”, and can speak french. the latest promo seemingly shows him killing smack and saying he did so because his “pride demands it”, whatever that means.
we first learned of this whole project when it started to slowly be incorporated into the creator, connor lavery’s, notable youtube series khonjin house. it began with the introduction of pent being split from the titular khonjin, alone in a dark void angrily yelling out to an unseen smack. his appearances are infrequent in the following seasons, popping up a couple times to ask the characters gino and gay spaghetti chef about a mystery person named shelby uavou. at the end of a seemingly normal episode, it’s revealed smack is indeed somewhere in hiding. he doesn’t make himself known except for a letter left to gino, saying that if he wants to be ruled by someone he hates rather than someone who hates him he should give the enclosed supermental piece to khonjin. this all comes to a head in episode 50, where khonjin touches the piece after being tricked by gino. thrust back into the void, the two other main characters of khonjin house are confronted by pent, who disappears gay spaghetti chef and punches gino, who calls for smack to do whatever it is he had planned. then the two thieves confront eachother. pent attempts to use his reality bending powers as he is the one who created the world of khonjin house but to no avail, as now khonjin has the piece. after a brief hostile exchange, pent insisting shelby isn’t dead and that his and smack’s reality doesn’t need him, pent lunges at smack and is promptly frozen by khonjin. he tells smack to leave and he does, taking the still froze pent with him, being the last we see or hear of them or supermental in the lighthearted series
it has since been revealed that pent IS shelby, a deeply closeted trans woman. during the events of khonjin house her very identity was erased from her only leaving a husk of a person who has only very fragmented memories and no sense of self besides what he’s told he’s like
however, in 2018 during a massive overhaul of the channel to remove jokes that would get the channel flagged or just simply didn’t meet the creator’s standards, all of these events were removed without a trace. it’s a little iffy as to why afaik but people have archived the original videos. you can still find little references though like pent’s theme used in the credits for the 10k subscriber special!
there was also an arg/riddle in the final episode of the series (at least final before it started again) given by pent leading to a locked tumblr, uavoulock, but alas it was never solved and most of the clues/references were wiped as the creator was unhappy with how it was going. however, the tumblr was unlocked and was simply an image of an unknown character with a striking similarity to pent, presumably her post transition or her ideal self.
as of right now, supermental is planned to be released in short animated “highlight clips” rather than full episodes or traditional trailers. there are three from around the time of the kickstarter and one from the beginning of this month, with more already storyboarded! anyways wow that took forever sorry about that, if you made it this far ty and good job!

Daminette/Maribat Fairy Tail OVA
So this is my final part of my Fairy Tail Au. This will be like a bonus section just extra little snippets that didn't make it to the main story so it will be shorter than my other parts. Enjoy
Part 1
Part 2
Sometime around when Marinette first joined
Marinette: So Barry is a speed mage, Arther in a Water mage that can turn his body INTO water, Diana is an equip mage, and Clark is a Fire God-slayer like Jon.
Damian: That's right
Marinette: So what type of magic does your dad have?
Damian: Oh he doesn't have magic, just a bunch of gadgets
‐——————-----------——
Damian following Marinette around
Damian: Watch out Angel
Damian lifts Marinette up by her waist to avoid Wally running by
Marinette smiling: Thanks Damian
Damian blushing: No problem
------------------------
Sometime before the opening ceremony on the Grand Magic Games
Wally speeding by Team Hatchlings: LUCKY!!!
Wally sped towards a pink hair girl dressed in all black, engulfing her in a hug before kissing her
Marinette: Who's that?
Jon: That's Wally's girlfriend, Jinx.
Damian: They've been together a few years now, but she's part of a different guild so they don't get to see eachother as much as they would like
Marinette: That's so romantic
The younger members of the guild watch as Wally zips away only to return a few seconds later with a red rose
-----------------------
After Team Hatchlings First Offical Mission with 2 blocks of town destroyed
Jon: Oh man we really made really made a mess this time
Damian sighing: I guess we can say goodbye to the reward this time
Marinette: Actually I have something that can help
Damian and Jon give her A hopeful look
Marinette: Open gat of Creation, Tikki!
Tikki: What do you need Marinette?
Marinette: We need to fix some damage
Tikki: Right away, Miraculous Ladybug!!
As Tikki cast her magic thousands of ladybugs appeared and wherever they passed the damaged was fixed
Damian hugging Marinette: Way to go Angel
Jon joining in on the hug: You are never leaving us
Marinette laughs and hugs her boys back
She can tell that she is going to stay with these two
----------------------------------
After Team Adrien's first mission without Marinette
Nino: Oh wow dudes we really cause some damaged
Half the town was destroyed
Alya: It's okay Marinette will take care of it like always. It's the only thing she's good for
Lila laughing: You're so right Alya
Lila and Alya high fived eachother
Adrien: Guys did you forget? Marinette left the team
Alya: Oh no that's right
Lila: Then who's going to clean all this up
The mayor of the town walkd up to the 4 glaring
Mayor: You four are and you won't be getting the reward either
Lila: That's not fair! You can't do that!
Mayor: YOU CAUSED MORE DAMAGED THEN THE DARK WIZARD YOU CAUGHT! EITHER YOU FIX OUR TOWN OR WE CALL THE GRAND MAGIC COUNCIL!!!
The four nodded their heads terrified
They got straight to work and finished about 4 weeks later
They returned to the guild late, tired, and with no money
--------------------------
A couple of months after Marinette joined Damian and Jon
Marinette: Do you guys think we need a team name?
Damian: What did you mean, Angel?
Marinette: I mean the Masters call their team The Justice League, that's how they got the guild name. Dick, Kori, Rachel, Garfield, and Victor are the Teen Titans. And Tim, Wally Megan, Connor, Kaldur, and Artemis are Young Justice. So shouldn't we have a name as well
Jon: You're right we should have a name! But what should it be
Marinette: My last team was called Team Adrien
Damian: How narcissistic. No we need a better name.
Dickwalking up to the younger kids: What are you guys talking about?
Damian: We're trying to think up a team name
Dick: But you guys already a team way
Jon confused: No we don't
Tim joining in: Yes you do
Marinette: What is it?
Jason also joining in: Team Hatchling!
Damian glaring: That is NOT our team name
Dick: It's not? Everybody calls you that
Jon: No they don't
Dragon Slayers besides Damian: Yes we do
Rest of the guild: Yes we do
Guild Masters: Yes we do
Jason: It's because you're the youngest and so cute
Jason look down at the two glaring boys and the wide eyed Marinette
Jason: Well at least Pixie Pop is
Marinette: Well I guess we have our team name
-------------------------------------
After the Grand Magic Games
Marinette running into the guild
Marinette: GUYS! GUESS WHAT I WAS CHOSEN TO DO A INTERVIEW WITH SORCERER'S WEEKLY!
The girl of the guild surrounded Marinette congratulationing her and talking over the details
Stephine: Congratulations Marinette! I guess you finally made it
Kori: That is a great honor Marinette!
Damian: What?
Marinette: Apparently I'm also going to be the center fold
Barbra: Way to go Starlight. When is it?
Damian: What?
Marinette: Next week at the beach
Dick: Way to go Stardust!
Damian: WHAT?
Damian was ignored throughout the whole conversation
Everybody knew he was just being possessive of his mate
Damian and Jon were going to follow Marinette to her interview to make sure nothing happened to her
Damian also dragged his brothers along under the guise of back up but really he was hoping they would be their rowady selves and ruin the photoshoot
Which backfired greatly
Marinette wore a off the shoulder blue crop top and a pair of jean shorts
It wasn't as revealing as most center fold out fits but it still made Damian's blood boil with jealousy
Somehow through their antics Dick was dragged into the photos aswell
They were doing a kinda siblings photoshoot with Dick swing Marinette around
Photographer: That's it act like you just got a big bowl of your mama's spaghetti
Damian glares at Jon
Jon: What?
Damian: Your mom is the owner and top reporter of Sorcerer's Weekly call her and make them stop
Jon just laughed at his friends antic shaking his head
Louis is the one who suggest Marinette for this no way would she stop it
When the article came out it wasn't as bad as Damian thought
Sure there was a lot of cute and some saucy pictures of Marinette, but there was also a lot of her and Dick playing around
And there was one of her kissing Damian on the cheek as he glared at the camera.
Jon is the only person who knew Damian requested that they send a copy of that picture to him
And if Damian can help 9t Jon will be the ONLY person who will ever know
A week later Jason found out and told everyone

My Most Trusted - Closed Starter w/ @generic-connor‘s Human!Connor and Naga!Rachel
An average day of peace in her village. That was what typically awaited her, each and every day. This was a blessing she had crafted. One she carefully maintained for the sake of her people. After all, it was they who were her most important treasure. It was she who taught them to hunt. She who taught them to fight. She who taught them to till the soil and who taught them to bond with nature around them.
This was her legacy. This was the cultivation by the will of the Jungle Mother.
Today was a rather special day. A day like this always was. Such a ceremony was a special thing and Rachel had not forgotten a single one. She made absolutely certain.
A couple and their son had appeared before her altar, presenting to her their most precious bundle, delivered just last night by the finest physicians in the village. The boy was just as excited as his parents and the naga woman couldn’t help but glow with pride. Births were always so taxing on the carriers and she made absolutely certain they received the utmost care after their arduous work.
The Welcoming Ceremony was a very special thing. A special moment between the village’s deity and the newborn. The moment that a new child forms that bond between she and it. When a child comes to understand that they will always be kept safe.
Because there is nothing beyond the boundaries of her territory more fearsome than she. And that that fearsome presence adored and loved that child with all of herself.
“You should be very proud, Cecilia and Victor.” The naga woman hissed softly as the couple handed her their child, the small squishy bundle wrapped in cloth sniffling quietly. Once it opened its eyes and gazed into her own amber ones, it reached out to her to grab hold of her face, spluttering and giggling at her.
Even newborn children were ever so perceptive. This child knew that she would never bring harm upon it.
That she was protected and loved in the naga’s presence.
“Your daughter will grow to be a strong presence.” Rachel continued to assess, doting on the small bundle and allowing her to touch at her scaly skin, her hand immediately going to the half of her face that was as white as the purest cloud. “A mighty warrior, she will become. Perhaps even a great leader, someday. Yes, your daughter shows much promise in her future.”
In her eyes, there was nothing like seeing the way the humans glowed when she praised their children. They should be as proud of their children as she was. After all, it was human children she had first allowed into her heart. Allowed into her life. Children who escaped into a jungle far more dangerous than they could ever imagine fleeing from something heinous they feared more than herself.
Taking a bowl of ground up flower petals ground up with honey, the naga dipped her claw in the mixture and held the child close, drawing her talon ever so delicately on the newborn’s forehead. She had learned a very long time ago how to be careful with her claws so she would not accidentally bring harm to such a delicate and fragile creature. Upon her forehead, Rachel drew the mark of bravery, a signifier that even in the face of danger, she will not hesitate to fight and stand up for what she values and loves above all else.
Looking up at the couple, the naga’s tongue flicks out with intrigue. “What have you named her?”
“Victoria.” The husband replies, smiling up at their guardian deity.
Chuckling affectionately at him, the naga woman gently hands him back his daughter, her clawed hand lingering for a moment as she drew it back from the fabric that cradled her. “I can see why. She certainly takes after you. I can already tell. You should both be proud.”
Looking down at the boy, the naga woman leans down to his level. The boy was filled with boundless energy. Yes, she remembered Ricardo’s Welcoming Ceremony as well. Upon him, she gave him the mark of vivacity, living life with a spark for it and for the sake of it and bringing an energy and passion to everything. “Jungle Mother! I’ve been practicing my hunter’s techniques.”
Flicking her tongue out once again, her amber eyes glittered curiously. “Oh? Well, then show me the progress you’ve made, dear boy.” She encouraged, her tail curling around him without touching him. After all, if he was going to make a demonstration, she wanted to be able to make sure he wouldn’t get hurt. “Go on. Show me how much you’ve grown as a hunter.”
Excitedly, the boy showed her the flips he’d clearly been practicing. He was much too young to be handling the weapons they crafted in her village, but he could still learn to move as swiftly as a hunter should. Clearly, he was a quick learner. He had indeed grown quite nimble and agile. Valuable qualities to have in a hunter.
Nodding her head in approval, the naga drew back. “Well done. You will make a fine hunter once you come of age and are able to carry your first weapon.” Turning her attention to little Victoria once again, Rachel’s gaze softens as she neared the small human again. “Welcome to the world, little Victoria. I will ensure that it will be a world worthy of your life in it.”
With that, the Welcoming Ceremony was complete. The couple gave the naga their thanks and presented her with their family crest as a token of their gratitude. A symbol of the life they were able to build thanks to her protection. Taking it delicately, the snake beast bid them farewell and slithered into her cenote contented. As she slid down the stone stairway, the branches above her glistened in the morning jungle sun. Every trinket and decoration was a gift given to her by her people for generations. Symbols of the gratitude she had earned and their utmost unconditional devotion to her just as she had given to them.
Finding an adequate place to put her new gift, Rachel took a deep breath, appreciating the world around her and the life she was able to live. Of course, it was not without its strife. But that was why she was here. To protect them. To defend them from the outside forces that would threaten this place. Especially such forces that humans could not defeat.
Forces that foolishly deemed her soft and weak because of how she chooses to rule her village who would either slink away with their skin ripped from their flesh or their bones discarded into the sea.
At that thought, as she flicked her tongue out, a foreign scent made itself known to her. A vaguely familiar scent, but still foreign nonetheless. There was a trespasser here. Somewhere near. But they didn’t smell like the weapons that were used by the outside. Perhaps not a threat, but still worth snuffing out. But at least when it came to humans, the naga’s benefit of the doubt had always served her well.
Slithering cautiously out of her cenote, she was far more alert. Far less...soft. Her tongue flicked out repeatedly, tasting the air for her mysterious stranger as she investigated the immediate surroundings. “Well...where are you, stranger?” She called out, her voice smooth and silky as she spoke in her signature naga way. As though tasting each vowel and consonant and savouring it before releasing it into the air. “Come, now...Don’t be shy. Step into the light.”
