Lifeafterdeath Ship Kid: Vidal!

Created by @sarcosticsarcomere and I, he’s a revamped version of Goth in both appearance and personality, given that they are now the son of Life as well as Reaper and Geno

Concept art for their design:

Yes I know the art is mid but if I could commission my favorite artists all the time I would be drowning in over 20K of credit card debt lmao

Nicknames: V, Vivi, or Vi

Follows True Pacifist Reapertale, making V the youngest of their siblings Frisk (aka Mercy; Life’s child), Chara (aka Faith; Reaper’s child) and Asriel (aka Hope; Life’s child)

Pronouns: Masculine, V identifies as a He/Theyby

Sexuality: Fluid

Height as a teenager: Over 6 feet tall

Personality and some background info: Vidal is a soft-spoken, socially awkward guy. Doesn’t say much, but once they open up to someone and are comfortable around them V could excitedly ramble on and on about their special interests. They had trouble making friends growing up due to being the demigod son of two prominent gods. As a result, when they first met Palette Roller and TK, they went by the name Valeria to hide their identity and befriend the other young skeletons.

Fun facts:

V can do goat blep, shift his eyelights to resemble a goat’s eyes, goat bleat, goat scream, and freeze like a goat when frightened. As a child, V adored affectionate headbonks and would play fight frequently with their siblings and parents. For their goat Mom and goat brother, it was a delightful game. For everyone else, sore foreheads were a common occurrence

When angered, V’s eyelights morph into a goat’s eyes and take on a redder shades

Around 6-8 years old their horns and tail started to appear and grow.

When Vidal’s horns and tail grew out, they became clumsy due to constant struggle with their sense of balance. They’d become frustrated and give up on walking altogether and simply float. This lead to Lifeafterdeath using child leashes to hold onto their floating son while a grumpy V pouts with their arms crossed in the air like a huffy balloon.

They share Life’s passion for botany, inherited Geno’s love for astronomy, and mimic Reaper’s gothic aesthetic. However they are terrible with plants and kill every one they try to grow much to their dismay. They also often carry around a messenger bag for their scrapbook and journals to write about and press and preserve their favorite flora into.

Reaper preens V and their siblings and occasionally V will try and preen their friends or familial figures like Epic and Dream.

Palette Roller is Vidal’s best friend since they were young babybones. They’d often hangout together and when they learn about the other’s infamous parents, empathize and soon become inseparable.

Whenever they can’t be watched by one group’s parents, they are babysat by Epic, their “Bruhncle”. V adores Epic and enjoys wearing fingerless gloves and boots as a nod to him.

Vidal’s Fashion Aesthetic

Best described as gothic cottagecore, V’s color scheme consists of primarily white and black with some blue, green, and purple. Anything that has plants, a gothic motif, or celestial theme, V will wear. Sometimes V will have jewelry decorating their horns for special occasions like birthdays or holiday celebrations. Or when they’re trying to impress their crush xD

Vidal x Palette: Canon

When Vidal develops a crush on Palette, they don’t confess their feelings because they have no idea if their best friend even feels romantic feelings, least of all towards them. They’re very close, but Vidal can’t tell if it’s platonic or romantic.

Palette knows they care deeply about V but has no idea what kind of love it is. He’s unbothered by this. After all, his parents are all in a queerplatonic/romantic relationship (Hyperinsomnia; the romantic comes from Dream and Error’s relationship) and happy and committed. As long as V is in his life and they’re best friends forever he’s happy. Palette does experience attraction and think V is hot. Unlike V, Palette grew up in queerplatonic family, so romance isn’t something Palette has particularly experience in

They start dating before they confess their feelings, confusing everyone except Palette’s family xD At first glance it appears as though Palette is aggressively friend-zoning V the entire time when it isn't his intention.

Some bonus funny screenshots regarding Palette and V from Sarco and my talks the other day:

Once Agatha All Along is done I better find so many The Coven adopting / raising „Teen“ AUs on ao3 and if there aren’t I guess I will write it myself even if it takes blood, sweat and tears, thank you very much.

Drama Club AU (planning stage)

Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead with the High School Drama Club AU for Agathario/Vidarkness. This will not disrupt Suburban Magic if I can help it.

some notes:

Agatha is the diva. She wants to be an actress, so she puts her entire being into her performances, including the auditions. She's played some sort of principle character in every play since middle school. Her mother doesn't support this dream and refuses to see her plays, so Agatha has stopped even inviting her or asking for rides home after rehearsals. She walks home in the dark.

Rio Vidal is a techie. She has kind of had a crush on Agatha since elementary school, but has been too nervous to tell her about it. They're kind of friends because they're in the same club. She has no real interest in theatre or background design, but she joined the club to be part of Agatha's friend group. She even started taking the Drama Class in their senior year so that she could continue to be near Agatha, but she's having a hard time coming out of her shell, which makes her grades suffer. She asks Agatha for help and Agatha gets a thrill out of helping a 'lesser actress' improve her skills. She also kind of finds Rio appealing, in a creepy, goth-adjacent type of way. So she's happy to help. Lilia, their drama teacher, sees the girls getting closer and smiling shyly at each other, and hatches a plan.

Lilia is the Drama teacher. She is also the director of the drama club, putting on the shows and all that. Rio and Agatha are in her drama class (as well as showboat Jen) and Rio is just not doing well, despite all of Agatha's help. She likes Rio, though. The girl is scary, but, beneath her aloof demeanor, she obviously cares a lot. Especially about Agatha and her interests. So she assigns an "extra credit" to her class, attempting to get more people to audition for the play (a lot of the kids in her class are just taking it for the art credit) but she specifically suggests this to Rio, who is not doing well in her class. Rio begrudgingly accepts, asking Agatha's help to prepare a monologue for her audition.

Jen is the showboat. She and Agatha have had a kind of rivalry going since second grade, when Agatha gave Jen a water bottle that was infected with the flu so that Agatha could take her lead role in The Wizard of Oz on opening night. Jen has never forgiven her for that though Agatha insists she didn't know it was infected. She had just accidentally given her the wrong water bottle. They've been in competition ever since. Jen is also dating Alice, the techie in charge of music direction.

Alice is another techie. Her mom is a famous pop star, so Alice knows how to play a lot of music and also how to compose her own. She organizes the orchestra for Lilia's shows. She is also a senior and got early acceptance to Juilliard for music. She is openly gay and dating Jen, who is a little more subdued about her bisexuality. But they hold hands in the hall and kiss in the theater, where they've among like-minded individuals. Alice teases Rio about her obvious crush on Agatha. Rio bites back at this, but Alice is kind of her best friend besides Agatha, so she doesn't fight back too hard.

Billy is the freshman. He joins the club in his first year of high school and immediately attaches himself to Agatha, who he's seen lead all the school plays since he was a little kid, just getting interested in theater. Agatha acts like she's annoyed, but she honestly likes having a fan. Billy tags along with them at lunch and they call him their pet (because Rio once called him mascota and he asked what that meant [pet] so it stuck) and teach him important acting tricks. He is one of few boys in Drama, so he's almost a shoo-in for a speaking role, no matter how inexperienced he is. He is dating Eddie, a techie.

The spring musical is coming up and Agatha is desperate for the lead. It's her last play and chance to win against Jen in their ridiculous, long-held feud (she can admit it's ridiculous while also wanting to best Jen, it's not weird), and she just needs to win it. She's also helping Rio with her extra credit monologue and the audition sides. They practice in the library or one of the student study rooms, Agatha instructing Rio how to say her lines, how to believe them, telling her to think of things that evoke those emotions. Rio gets decently good at it.

At the audition, everybody brings their A-game. Agatha does, in fact, get cast as the lead. Jen gets the villain character (which is okay by her, because it makes her and Agatha antagonists). Billy gets a secondary speaking role, but it's more than he'd really hoped for. And Rio gets....the romantic lead opposite Agatha. Rio is taken aback by this, sure that she wouldn't get casted at all because it was just supposed to be for extra credit, but Lilia just smiles and says she must have had a great teacher because she can't imagine not casting Rio with how much chemistry she and Agatha showed on stage. This, of course, was a setup. Lilia cackles to herself about it when she's alone in her office.

Mrs. Davis (prev. Mrs. Hart before her husband passed and she went back to her maiden name, but Agatha cannot remember that to save her life) is the school principal. She loves the theater and spends most of her lunch breaks coming to watch the kids practice their lines for the plays and their class assignments, sitting and laughing with Lilia about little things. Lilia and Sharon might have a little thing going, but it's inappropriate because Sharon is literally her boss. But she knows exactly what Lilia is doing with Agatha and Rio and quietly supports it because at least it's keeping them out of trouble and keeping Agatha and Jen from tearing each other limb from limb. She's an "ally" (but not so much as an ally as a part of that community).

Somebody tell me a good play for them to put on. I'm considering Wicked because I love it so much, with Agatha as Elphaba, Rio as Fiyero, Jen as Madam Morrible, and Billy as Boch, and maaayyyybeeee Wanda as Galinda/Glinda, but idk. Is that too on the nose?

I need thoughts (and prayers) please!

YALL I AM SCREAMING

The new Agatha All Along episode was WILD

My thoughts are below the cut and not completely in order but oh my GOD

I don't think I can put all my thoughts down right now but BRO.

RIP William Kaplan - and on his Bar Mitzvah day :(

I was NOT expecting Lilia to have been the one to place the sigil on him but it makes sense: she saw Something and wanted to protect him from others. It was cool seeing how it worked.

Seeing Alice again was the highlight of my day <3

I did not realize Billy also had mind reading powers, that's wild.

"Agatha Harkness: SUCCUBUS POWERS" when the internet kook can only be correct so far

Also he was not kidding about following Jen for the skin care sjdjdksj I thought he just researched her last minute that's so funny

THE FUCKING- EPISODE ONE FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE WAS SO FUNNY. AGATHA WAS SO DEEP IN THE TRUE CRIME. The painting being above her own fireplace 😭

Eddie was very chill and awesome. Shout out to the text he sent saying Billy was his [Black Heart]. Everybody gotta have a crazy goth.

SPEAKING OF- I lost my MIND cackling when Ralph (RIP theories of Agatha referencing Rio as her husband) said "you don't know what kind of crazy that lady eats for breakfast" and my brain IMMEDIATELY supplied: Rio Vidal.

Hahn really FLEXED her acting with all the different emotions this episode. My bog witch <3 Rio would be so proud. I love that Agatha has a mix of pride and appreciation for Billy, and made SURE he heard all of the things she wished her mother would have said to her (that HURT), but also was a bit "you bitch that was my best coat" (such a good coat). I need need NEED them to have a mentor mentee dynamic after this - Agatha wants it but Billy is being dumb about it; let your other mom raise you!!! Her wife is cool, too!

I hope Jen and Lilia are okay!! If Agatha can get out of the icky icky mud, surely they can. Very much looking forward to the next episodes!!!!

Summary: “I would like to make a deal,” Billy says.

She scoffs, letting her head fall into her hand. Boring. “You and pretty much everyone else. Might want to get in line for that one,” she gestures with her dagger to the swirling vortex she knows is brushing against the edges of his vision. The humans always got a bit confused down here at the end of their reality.

“I think you’ll agree to it,” and the little smile on his face does tug at her curiosity.

“Oh?” she says. “What makes you think that?”

“I have something you want.”

Death throws her head back in a laugh. She likes this one. “What could you possibly have to offer me?”

“Agatha Harkness.”

YAY! Okay, Lifeafterdeath Goth is now named Vidal! 🎉

Thanks so much for participating everyone 🥰🫶

Okay, chatting with @sarcosticsarcomere, and I can’t pick:

Either way their nicknames would be stuff like Vivi or V, or little V (shoutout to Sarco)

*This version of Goth is he/theyby

"I watch Agatha All Along for the plot."

The plot:

[ennn]

My Rio Vidal theory based on that spoiler

I think it may be more complicated than that. Funko spoiler-y thoughts under the cut.

Right okay so thanks to Funko we know Rio is "Death". Yes, the tarot card is also a big clue, and there are lots of little nods to it like the lyrics of the Witches Road i.e. Death's hand in mine

My issue is that Rio Vidal—at least from what we've seen so far—is absolutely The Green Witch. She is serving absolute Gaea energy: I'm talking nature in all its primordial glory, the domains of war and hunting, earth and sky, blood and fang, decay and entropy, life and renewal.

Rio's name has associations to The River of Life. She has the ability to heal. Her outfit is that of a warrior witch, full of with nature imagery. And we do see her in a lot of green, especially in scenes of Rio in the past.

So how the hell is she Death? That's not the same, in fact it's quite the opposite of life. Is it all just a disguise, an elaborate con? If so why go so hard on The Green Witch angle? Why not just be a generic goth-y witch?

My current theory is that Rio isn't simply Death, I think she's host to Death.

Now I know Jac Schaeffer doesn't really base her storytelling on Marvel comic storylines but it's possible she or the writers took inspiration from the time Marvel's Lady Death took up residence in the body of a character by the name of Marlo Chandler. While they remained two separate entities, they were bonded to each other and Death could emerge when she wanted (or when she got mad).

Marlo ultimately took up the mantle of Death because Death was tired of her job, which is... something that can happen I guess.

I figure, what better host to hide or contain Death than The River of Life and the most powerful green witch of all?

Why and how did it happen? Who knows! It's possible Agatha decided to fuck around with Death herself with dark magic in order to bring her kid back, with Rio stepping in because you shouldn't mess with the natural order of things. It's possible Death just needed a place to hide and chill for a minute.

Build a Poketeam Tag

snagged from an open tag by @dyrewrites - thank you!

making absurd characters AND making absurd pokemon teams? DON'T MIND IF I DO

idk who plays pokemon here, so i'll tag @i-can-even-burn-salad, @ceph-the-ghost-writer, @starlit-hopes-and-dreams, @oh-no-another-idea, @owlsandwich, and everyone who wants to do this. find the team-builder here

i'll do this for the main characters of my Untitled Cyberwitch WIP (plus a bonus one bc i can't help myself):

V Hyun

Appearances are important to V, so it's crucial for their team to mesh with their punk/goth styling. However, the mohawks and spikes belie movesets carefully chosen to cover their team's weaknesses. They spent ages putting together and perfecting their team's strategy, but will never admit to it. Toxtricity is their partner Pokemon.

Julian Quintana Benoit

Jules's team's first line of defense is intimidation. The prevalence of wings, cloaks, and scythes in his team's designs points to his tendency to obscure himself and keep others at arms' length (making both him and his team less effective at defending the people he cares about). The exception is his partner Pokemon, Smeargle, who cannot (and does not) battle.

Jacqueline Vidal

Jacqui's affinity for crystals carries over into her Pokemon team; all of her Pokemon except for her partner, Salazzle, have crystals incorporated in their designs. She approaches battles the way she approaches all her problems: with the goal of ending it as quickly as possible. Anything she can't handle with brute force is subjected to Salazzle's poison.

Bonus:

Lupe

As long as they're winning, Lupe does not care if anyone else is having fun.
