[yourheart-inmyhands]

hi! I really like the last post, so here am I with another idea after my 3 cup of coffee before 12 pm

what if, by pure shear luck and celestia only knows how, reader escape the other Archons and go back to Fontaine, there furina is like "I hear your prayers! so you are now locked with me!" but she is shocked because reader is hugging her and saying "thank you! please dont let them take me!", plot twist, fontaine reader is a devoted follower of focalors (yeah they are that crazy) and have a hydro vision.

How do you think the yandere Archons would react, hearing reader is happy with the hydro archon?

I imagine Neuvillette having migraines more often, because the reader encourages and applauds Furina's scenes lol

Thank you!

i love when people request continuations of other pieces, i think it's fun to continue on with the story :D

Warning: this post contain yandere-themes, including manipulation, lying, mentions of violence, and other potential topics. Please read at your own risk!

Yandere!Venti would be utterly distraught, ready to wage another Archon war with Furina simply for this. He can’t just storm into Fontaine and demand for you back, as much as he’d like to, but he can send someone else to do it for him. Someone like a devoted follower of his.

Venti smiles in amusement, watching as the faint color of the Anemo element overtakes the citizens' eyes. While he wasn’t entirely welcomed in Fontaine, the crazy Hydro Archon being willing to fight him on the spot, he could certainly infiltrate their borders using a beloved devotee of his. With his presence ingrained so deeply in this man’s mind, he could use merely a few words to make the man move as he pleased. And so, with enough mindless zombies sent to Fontaine to retrieve you at any cost, he figures you’ll be returning home one way or another.

Yandere!Zhongli would prefer to keep things civil, wanting to spare violence is necessary. Those days are behind him, he claims, meeting with Neuvillette. Dragon to Dragon, Zhongli politely requests the return of his beloved. You’re sick, he claims, having accidentally ingested a small dose of poison that made you delusional, and he’s so sorry to have bothered Neuvillette with your presence.

Zhongli is so calm and polite, meeting at the entrance to Fontaine with Neuvillette as they discuss your current status like the civil dragons they are. Ever the worried lover, Zhongli explains how he had brought you to Sumeru for a vacation when you had gotten a bit turned around, eating a plant you shouldn’t have. This led to you going a little crazy, seeing things and claiming to hear the ‘Archons’ speaking to you. If Neuvillette wouldn’t mind, Zhongli just wishes to pop in for a moment to collect you and then the both of you will be on your merry ways. Out of both Furina and his hairs. 

Yandere!Raiden would wait for nothing, storming through Fontaine as if it were her region. She doesn’t even care to ask permission or anything, simply throwing open the doors to the Court of Fontaine, pointing her weapon directly up at Furina. In a calm, steady voice she demands the return of her beloved.

It was a startling moment to all involved, the sudden movement of the doors being flung open, the shouts of guards in the hall as they tried to stop the Raiden Shogun from entering. It was fruitless though, the sharpened end of her signature weapon steady in her grip as it aimed towards Neuvillette. She wasn’t here to play around and any form of non-compliance would be met with either the end of her weapon or the promise of her return in the form of war. She doesn’t mess around when it comes to her beloved, her eternity. If Neuvillette and Furina won’t hand you over willingly, then she’ll simply tear the nation apart piece by piece as she searches for you herself, determined to not leave without you.

Ok so I agree that the Minecraft movie looks bad. But also like almost every alternative idea I've seen including my own one feel more like fanfilm ideas than something I can imagine a major studio making. So, here's how I imagine a good (or at least not terrible) "mainstream" Minecraft movie could work (please bear in mind that I'm thinking from the perspective of what I, personally, believe a studio would approve, while also trying to make it at least somewhat Minecrafty, also sorry if this sounds bad, I'm not a writer or director or whatever):

Make it animated, obviously. Go for the Minecraft trailer style, but - and I cannot stress this enough - make it have dialogue, like yeah a movie with no dialogue might sweep the film festivals, but cinematic releases of dialogue-free movies are rare. In regards to face animation, they could just flap around the characters' mouth-pixels or whatever. No 3D modelled mouths, like I'm probably in the minority here but I do not like how Minecraft characters look with 3D modelled mouths.

Keep the isekai aspect. You can do a lot with that, especially if it has an ensemble cast (more on that further down), since you can then have some of them actually know the mechanics and have like. A character arc of teaching their parents or whatever how the game works. And there's maybe like two live-action sequences? Like one at the start and one at the end.

Make. The antagonists. Illagers. Other people have said this and I agree. It makes more sense than Piglins and also it means that the Nether could be saved for a potential sequel. However,

The movie should break away from just including stuff that exists in/works like the game, like this is the one criticism of the Minecraft movie that I 100% disagree with. Like people are like "Lol, this thing isn't in Minecraft! This isn't a real Minecraft movie!" then turn around and go "Minecraft Story Mode is the real Minecraft movie!" when like, that game has so much fucking stuff that isn't in the actual game. Let the Minecraft movie have made up stuff in it, but make it actually good made up stuff (and not like. Ghast hot-air balloons or chained buckets or whatever the Minecraft movie actually has in it). Give us whales and giant smashy-smashy Illagers and one (1) Redstone-powered mech and stuff.

I cannot stress enough. Ensemble cast. It could just be my bias but I do think it should have an ensemble cast. Like maybe two and their parent(s). Like a lot of the Minecraft Movie overhauls/preemptive rewrites I've seen are all like "it's just Alex and Steve surviving" and like. No, that would be too "boring" for a feature-length mainstream animated family film.

The soundtrack is cool cinematic covers of the Minecraft soundtrack, but specifically the more recent tracks for rights reasons or whatever.

Herobrine shouldn't be referenced.

"Defending the base" sequence during the first night in the Minecraft world, and then at some point later on there's a brief bit where all the characters are using the skills they've learned throughout the plot (e.g one of them is really good at Redstone and has set up like piston traps or whatever).

Sculk is used as a Chekov's Gun; there's a vein of it growing under the main village, and as the characters fight and defeat Illagers, it grows, and then when the protagonists are on the ropes, the sound of the Illager leader unsheathing their sword or whatever alerts an entire chain of Sculk Sensors that activates a Sculk Shrieker, which then causes a Warden to appear and save the protagonists.

I am mostly out of ideas but uhhhhh the Ender Dragon is also saved as a potential sequel thing. Ok bye.

monkey king x reader having a gnomeo and juliet ‘hello hello’ first meeting (especially if it’s the star crossed lovers scenario) with monkey seeing their silhouette and following not knowing what or rather who it’ll lead him to, the flirty banter, the moonlit night, the everything

I had to watch that scene over and over again to perfect this lol

Monkey is out one night, stick is draped over his shoulders and the two are having a conversation

yeah we know Stick communicates in it’s incoherent groaning but Monkey can understand stick perfectly

and the two are just talking about their new adventure on the Journey To the West

your silhouette will pass by, your quick but Monkey can instantly see you

”FINALLY! A demon! Come on stick we got work to do!”

he doesn’t exactly know if your a demon, but he hopes you since he has that need to fight and kill

he chases you through the forest, the only light he can depend on for his vision is from the silver moon shining down

you however, are unaware of this stranger following you

Monkey is fast, and for the element of surprise he wants to appear right in front of you

your still running through the forest, pushing large leaves and branches out of your way still going at your pace

“I can’t wait to see the look on its face when I-“

You two are right in front of each other, the two of you don’t lock eyes at first, your both staring at the ground at each’s others feet and your eyes both trail up to see the stranger in front of you

and as soon as you lock eyes everything goes still

Monkey wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, he hoped for a demon and he wasn’t disappointed to see you

your eyes are beautiful to him, he recognizes you as a mortal but seeing your eyes glisten in the moonlight makes his heart pound

The two of you just stare at each other, stick begins to speak and breaks the tension making Monkey come back to reality

I don’t think the reader has ever seen a magical stick before, you’ll ask questions about where Monkey got it from and if it really has a mind of its own

”Oh Stick right here? I got it from the Dragon’s King’s palace”. He shrugged when he said that. He has that confident smirk on his face, it’s like he trying to impress you

Stick is definitely going to notice whats going on, stick and the Monkey King are basically best friends and it knows what Monkey King is feeling

It’s probably not the best wingman but it’s intentions aren’t bad, stick jumps from Monkey King’s grasp and shoves Monkey into you

Monkey being born from a stone, I imagine he’s heavy like a stone

and your strength won’t hold and you’ll fall backwards with him on top of you

Monkey’s gonna have some words with Stick when they get back to the Monk

this is still the star crossed lovers scenario (cause we live for that drama) and sooner or later the realization of why Monkey can’t be with you is going to dawn on him

and its a painful roller coaster for our boy

[cyanide-latte]

So after Book 6 left me completely and utterly devastated and a crying wreck in my bedroom, I've finally started Book 7 of Twisted Wonderland and I figured I'd just do a basic drop of my thoughts so far. I'm keeping them under a "read more" cut and I'll also tag this post as having spoilers (even though it's not really the more recent spoilers) just to be safe and considerate.

Beyond that though, my thoughts aren't going to have a filter so please take this with a grain of salt. (I'll mention at the end where I've stopped for now in the plot, so please don't spoil past that point for me if you reply to or reblog this post. I really really don't want spoilers.)

Got it? Good. Here we go.

- Exasperation and loathing, thy form is Michael Mouse, I viciously beseech thee to get out of my house

- we need more of the freshmen just interacting with one another in general

- Rook wanting to take an internship in archeology make so much sense for him. "I'm not a patient person but this will challenge that" BRO, SAME.

- Idia just interning at Google basically

- Lilia like "btw I need to drop out of school, gonna throw a party later before I leave, kthnxbai"

- all of the characters doing impersonations in this book is a DELIGHT

- "I declare the mopefest official over!" Spoken like a man who bottles his stronger emotions up out of fear of having to face them, Ace

- Fucking love the meta commentary

- Idia "I'm not going to some farewell party for a junior I barely know because I need to actually mourn losing contact with an internet friend who ghosted me and I'm despairing the possibility I could ever possibly make a friend again" Shroud is too fucking real, he's relatable honestly

Malleus: here's my lil sob story abt the time I threw a tantrum so bad I almost froze an entire castle of people to death. Lilia made it all better but gave me a stern talking-to I've never forgotten.

Me: why do I feel like you learned nothing.

Also Malleus not long after: because I took your words to heart Lilia I've been looking for a solution to this problem, and Silver and the Ramshackle prefect with their random venting to me gave me the perfect idea, so I'm going to trap THE ENTIRE ISLAND in stasis sleep so NOBODY CAN EVER LEAVE ME AGAIN a good hoard knows to stay put for the dragon who owns it haha you'll all be fine, dw about it, I've got everything under control

Me: so you learned nothing.

- Malleus has no rights, he needs to be sent to the Time-Out Corner

- I also love that that Malmal fight loads up with an infinity symbol because it's like oh lol yeah, infinite-turn battle but then you see Malleus's fucking 300K HP bar and I was instantly like "hmmmm I think you're lying" and then his regen heals for like 60K damage each turn and he casts fire damage immunity on himself and I was like "mmhmm I knew you were lying to me"

- I demanded Mickey get the fuck out of my house so of course naturally the game decides to be cheeky and put me the fuck in his instead

- no but why the fuck is he here. I'm so fucking annoyed

- WE DON'T NEED MICKEY.

- I get it, I get why he's here but he really doesn't need to be. Disney you CAN in fact make a fucking video game without shoehorning the damn mouse into it. The Hidden Mickeys in various backgrounds were fine, we didn't need more than that.

- for the record, I've been pissed off about this since it started happening books ago, but I remain aggravated by Mickey just being shoved into this.

- I love that Silver shows up to bail MC and Grim's collective ass out of danger and then meanwhile you've got Ortho like "I've seen dial-up faster than this shit, what the FUCK bro, I expected better of you, logging this in my database as an Epic Fail."

- but also ORTHO MY CHILD. BE FREE. YOU GOT THIS.

- The Shroud parents are EXACTLY how I imagined. They're everything I wanted from their characters and more. They even SOUND like I hoped they would. Beautiful. 10/10. My intuition about their entire family remains, as ever, on-point.

- I do love everything I've gotten with Silver to this point. I was very baseline neutral on his character until now, but the more I'm seeing of him, the more I appreciate what I am getting.

- Sebek is autistic. I will die on this hill. Even if he represents autistic traits the internet DOESN'T like to woobify for the most part, that boy is autistic. He's autistic as fuck. This book is so far just further proving it.

- I mentioned earlier that Malleus has no rights but I'm saying it again because it's fucking rude as shit he's got epic choral BGM in Sebek's dream. Also creeping on people's dreams and threatening to forcibly make them sleep forever when they defy you because you feel entitled to ownership of your victims? Wow. Hey by the way Malleus, you got a phone call, we got a guy from Ohio on the other line, says his name's Freddy, you're one set of full-body burn scars away from him sueing your scaly ass. Yeah, just thought you'd wanna know.

- Listen I really want to appreciate and like the Malleus I hear everyone among my friends and mutuals say they see him as but no. No. Is he well-written? Well, I'm still early into this, so I'm withholding judgment on that point though I AM hopeful that I'll eventually appreciate how he's written. But do I like him? No. I didn't give a single flying fuck about him to begin with and I still don't. Throw onto it he's being a bitch right now, and that's not helping. If you genuinely like Malleus as a person, that's your prerogative, that's whatever. I'm not entirely sure what you see in him to like as a person but again, your prerogative. If you like him as a character because of how he's written for the role he is in, in the overall story, power to you, I REALLY hope I'll eventually agree with you. But as of right now, just so you're aware if you've read this far, I still don't give a single flying fuck about Malleus and I'm slowly starting to teeter into the direction of actually disliking him as a person.

- Silver: QUICK, TAKE MY HAND!!! Sebek: ew.

- Currently I've stopped on the chapter where Silver has dream-hopped from Sebek's dream with Sebek, Yuu and Grim in tow, into the dream of a mysterious bat-masked figure with a familiar voice who couldn't POSSIBLY be Lilia, not at ALL. So please don't talk to me about anything past that yet. I'll reblog this post with an update when I get further.

[tokkias]

in another life ship: natsu dragneel x lucy heartfilia summary: There's a short list of things that Natsu expects when he's dragged along to a museum exhibit, but a fateful encounter with the woman in the painting is not part of his plans. inspired by this piece by @jmoart214 ♡ ao3

When Natsu heard the word museum, his brain conjured up images of giant, towering dinosaur bones, almost draconic in their intimidating structure. That was all it took to get a yes out of him when Erza had requested (see: demanded) that he accompany her to the opening of Reedus’s exhibit. She just so conveniently left out that there were to be no dinosaur bones in sight.

He’d gotten bored after a good half hour of standing around looking at the same few paintings and sculptures, and Erza, in her endless compassion, had given Natsu permission to wander the rest of the gallery, under the condition that he didn’t cause a ruckus and kept his hands to himself. He, of course, had no plans to; some of the stuff here looked expensive, and an ass whooping from Erza was not something he was actively searching for today. Instead, he simply meandered around the building, briefly looking at this and that to keep himself occupied while he waited on his friends so he could leave.

While he took his time looking around, he didn’t find himself enthralled by any of the paintings hung on the walls. He never quite "got" art; didn’t understand how people found themselves so moved by it or why they would build entire museums for it. Most pieces were instead dismissed in his mind before moving onto the next, glancing over them quickly before categorising them into either good, bad, or don’t care, most of which fell into the latter.

Passing by another stuffy portrait of some king, soldier, or something else (he didn’t care much to check), Natsu moved on to the next painting, ready to be about as unimpressed with it as the last four or five, but for the first time he felt himself drawn to the piece hung before him.

It was weird. He’d never felt that way about art before, but perhaps what made that even weirder was the subject of the painting. Within the ornate frame sat a woman, no older than him, with golden locks flowing like rivers down her back and a pure white dress draped across her soft, milky skin. Her gaze was fixated to the side, looking at something he could not see, but even still, her chocolate eyes still beckoned him towards her, and he submitted to her will, standing there gaping at the painting like an absolute moron.

"According to textbooks of Fiorian history, she was the lover of the Second Draconian Prince in the 18th century," came a voice from behind him.

He whipped his head around to be met with the owner of the voice approaching his side—a girl his age, her blonde hair held up in two pigtails while the rest of it hung loose around her shoulders.

"They say that she was extremely beautiful; nobles and kings travel far and wide just to catch a glimpse of her beauty," she continued, her eyes still fixated on the painting.

He wasn’t sure if she was talking directly to him, but seeming as there was no one else around, he could only assume she was.

"Yeah, I guess I can see that," he replied, looking back at the painting before them.

"The story of the nymph and her lover was a romantic but tragic one," she began to speak again. "The prince loved her so much that it became his undoing. He discovered her lifeless body amidst a war their nation was fighting, and it awoke the demon seed inside of him that would lead him to kill his brother and eventually killing himself, not being able to imagine a life without his beloved."

The stranger’s words stunned him into silence for a moment. Never would he have expected such a dark story from such a peaceful-looking painting.

"So, wait, was he a dragon, or was he a demon?" He asked, finding himself compelled to know more of the story, unsatisfied with what little information he was left with.

"He was both," she replied, acknowledging him for the first time. "But his body was human," she continued. "Some people think that there’s another painting that goes with this one—one of the prince himself—but that’s just a rumour."

"So was that a real story?" Natsu clarified, uncertain from her choice of words.

"Maybe," she vaguely replied. "I like to think it is, if not for the unconditional and undying love the nymph and her prince held for each other. I always liked to believe that he commissioned this painting of her so he would always be able to admire her, even when she was gone. I think it’s quite romantic."

Natsu never cared much for romance or love stories, but he supposed he could understand where she was coming from.

His attention had since turned from the painting to the stranger standing next to him. If she noticed he was staring, she didn’t pay it any mind. She seemed much too busy examining every inch of the painting, as if the girl in the frame might tell her more about her story.

"You kind of look like her," Natsu blurted out after a moment of consideration.

"What?"

For the first time since she approached, her composure was shaken, seemingly taken off guard by his sudden remark.

"Yeah, you got the same hair and the same eyes," he justified.

Looking closer, she even shared the same facial structure and pale skin. She didn’t have the pointy nymph ears in the painting, but that’s where the differences ended. It was almost uncanny.

"You think so?"

She looked up at him, and in the moment their eyes connected, he was certain of it.

"I don’t really see it," she replied, averting her gaze from his, her face growing a slight flush at what she assumed to be a compliment.

"If you hadn’t told me, I probably just would have assumed that painting was of you," he shrugged, earnest in his conviction.

He noticed the way her cheeks grew even redder as he spoke, but she didn’t reply, seemingly too embarrassed to muster any words.

Instead of pressuring her to converse, Natsu simply took a few steps closer to the painting to admire some of the finer details.

"Celestial Fairy Princess, Lucy," he read off of the plaque sitting beneath the painting before his attention was caught by a surprised squeak behind him.

Turning on his foot, he noticed the girl trying to hide her now beet-red face in her hands.

"What?"

"My name is Lucy…" she murmured.

It took him a second to process this new information, but once he did, he let out a loud cackle that drew the attention of the few others that were in the room.

"So you are the girl in the painting!"

"No I’m not!" She sputtered,

"Then I guess you’re just her reincarnation I guess," he grinned. "You're probably not gonna find any dragon princes here, though. They don’t even have dinosaur bones at this museum."

"Yeah, well, I already knew that. Prince Natsu wasn’t exactly the quiet, intellectual type," she murmured, still unsure how to respond to his accusations but realising that deflecting wouldn’t do her any good.

Though now it was his turn to be caught off guard.

"How did you know my name?" He asked, not recalling telling her in the brief moments since they had spoken.

"Your name?" She replied, looking almost as confused as he was.

"I’m Natsu," he said, pointing to himself.

Her jaw fell open at this new information, half expecting him to say he was lying, but convinced by the serious expression on his face.

"Natsu," she repeated, taking her time to get to know the way it felt on her tongue.

Hearing it was both foreign and familiar, as though he were hearing it for the first time but somehow also the millionth. It was so strange, like it was the most natural sound in the world.

"Lucy," he replied, as if compelled by some unnatural force to say it.

It came completely naturally to him, as if it had slipped off his tongue so easily in a past life and as though he were meant to say it for the rest of their lives.

[genopaint]

WEEK 33, LET'S GO WEEK 33

As always you can follow me on twitter where they’re posted daily

And read more info on each of them below the cut

Daily Dragon #224 - Tankamat

Highly destructive dragons that have developed incredibly thick armor to better protect themselves when battling. They are HIGHLY aggressive and will often start fights with other monsters just for fun.

Another redraw from Fakeathon 2019!!

Daily Dragon #225 - Greenie

Another Green for the challenge! I have too many sonas!! This one is my Kirbysona! She gives the Spark power, and can fire out a large energy beam when she and Spark Kirby work together!

I have a lot of old sonas and self insert designs I've wanted to go through and update recently. And I figured this one slots in nicely with the daily dragon challenge: My Kirbysona!! Green is an electric dragon who gives Kirby the Spark ability when eaten!

Here's the original from around 2019 I think? It uses the old wildberry poptart color scheme!! Weird to think how recently I stopped using that color scheme for my sonas lol

I actually don't play a TON of kirby though I do enjoy the series. I imagine in Right Back At Yeah she's like an artist who shows up in some episodes rather than being a monster from NME

Daily Dragon #226 - Chimney Dragon

Between smoke breath from the top head and flame breath from the belly head, the Chimney Dragon can be deadly encounter! The bottom head's teeth are actually so big and far out that it can't chew, and has to burn food to swallow it.

this is yet ANOTHER redraw, this one being from around 2017 I believe? I just remember drawing it in highschool and a classmate suggesting I should make it a chimney thing with 2 heads, and I liked that idea a lot! So here we are!

I tried to make it look less like charizard for the redesign though lol

Daily Dragon #227 - Aquamentus

Since I beat a Zelda game for the first time this year I should probably mark the occasion by doing a Zelda dragon. And I know TP had its own dragon but for some reason (its simpler) I just kept thinking of doing this thing instead! So here it is!

Daily Dragon #228 - Rightysaur

And to catch myself up heres another dragon that's nothing too specific, but is more of a challenge. I drew this one entirely with my right hand! Which turned out to be a lot more difficult that I thought it would be

Daily Dragon #229 - Amoebodon

Tiny slimy dragons that are filled with odd organs covered in dirt and hair. An eyeball and a heart is all these creatures need to survive, and most outside elements can't kill them.

Daily Dragon #230 - Haredrusaur

Vicious, carnivorous rabbits that live in dark forests and mountains. They might look cute from a distance, but if you see that scaly tail, you better run!

[celaenaeiln]

12 am anon here. okay so uh we havent talked about it cause i rly dunno how to tell them “yeah i think ur rly cute and i love it when you ramble abt the things you like and sometimes i do wanna kiss u” . anyways what songs do u think are dick grayson coded

personally some that come to mind are surface pressure from encanto, bad idea right and brutal by olivia rodrigo, and nerves by dpr ian. spring day by bts specifically when it comes to donna and wally and all his other dead loved ones

*older post I'm getting to now, 12 am anon and girlfriend are happily together, I just needed time to collate a list*

But that aside, you are literally the cutest. You make me so happy every time ;)

Surface Pressure, Bad Idea Right, and Brutal are all spot on!

I'd never heard Nerves before but now I've listened to it on repeat

Spring Day (eng ver) hadn't even entered my mind but now it won't get out.

Honestly all of Taylor Swift's and Olivia Rorigo's songs match Dick so perfectly

I guess this is a Dick Grayson playlist.

Songs-

Come Hang Out by AJR - The Titans with Dick

You're Gonna Go Far Kid by The Offspring - self-explanatory.

Warriors of the Mind

You're on your own kid

Labour - Dick hypothically getting tired of Bruce dumping every single thing on him

Panic Room by Au/Ra - Scarecrow telling Dick in Knight Terrors that his fear may be the scariest fear of them all. I'm just imagining everyone getting trapped in Dick's head and being forced to face his fear. That would be such a fun story to write.

Rise by Katy Perry - Dick will always overcome and thrive.

Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga - Dick with the Titans just as they score a major victory

Human by Christina Perri - Dick asking for a reprieve (in his head)

Human by Krewlla - Same but sadder

I made another Mashimaverse AU

I haven’t thought it out throughly yet, but here’s Minerva.

Inspired by “One Piece,” and “Dead Rock” Ish.

Basically, The God of Life and Death was the only thing that lived throughout the entirety of time. Throughout every period he would gather 12 guards/subordinates that represented different races and territories.

There’s was different ways this was picked, for Dragons it was the ruler of Dragons who’d become the next subordinate. They usually roamed near the eastern region which would one day become “The Kingdom of Dragnof.”

Demons lived among humans in the neighboring kingdom, and instead of the next king of demons ruling. The rulers would pass down “Gods favorite angel” E.N.D.

(I’m not sure about the other 10 but i imagine it’d be revealed within the story or else this would just be Oc insert)

The point is I changed the magic system and made it rooted in lore. I’m not gonna explain too much but changes to remember are-

-Erza has Belserion sealed inside, and her father is acnologia. Which technically makes her Queen of Dragons.

-Wendy is also the child or Irene and Anologia. Making her their second child.

-Not a change, but yeah Natsu still END.

-The god of Life and Death died 400 years ago during the war with Irene and the dragon kingdom. (Well he’s just not alive atm)

————

-The magic system has three different types of magic users. Those who have genetic mutations (Inherited Magic) ,

Those who are taught a “maker magic” (A type of magic that cover regular magic energy into a specific type of magic while casting) Anyone can learn.

Or “Holder Magic” Those who use magic Items that already have lacrimas that create their own magic. Anyone can get.

———

Minerva’s name is associated with the Roman godess of wisdom, who’s commonly associated with owls, not as commonly with snakes. I was think about Erza and Minerva fighting together what would take Fairy Tails Magic system to One piece level. And ofcourse that would be an “awakening” of some sorts. So I took the Idea of snakes and ran with it.

Guildarts was in an entirely different league than the entire main cast at the beginning of FairyTail. But why if (by fairy tails magic system) anyone can learn the same magic. So I’m my scenario Guildarts has a genetic magic, Cana learned the holders magic from a young age since she never knew she could have Guildarts magic. Her awakening would be Guildarts magic since you can’t awaken and holders magic. Another example is Mira using satan soul and transformation magic which would mean that you can learn more than one type of magic in Fairy Tail which doesn’t make sense cause what’s stopping everyone from being zeref?

With Minerva I thought what if her history had anything to do with snakes. I decided her ancestors (on her moms side) would be snake charmers, much like the dragon charmers that existed before Irene became dragon queen. Though they used to play flutes to charm dragons it was actually just a ritual of swine sort and the instruments weren’t needed. This was lost when Minerva’s mom passed away while she was too young to learn.

Durring the battle with Erza I imagine somehow she’s presented with the opportunity to meet a Dragon Snake (idk a name yet). It sounded far fetched until I found out about the Dragon snake Xenodermus Javanicus. A nonvonmous serpent that assists Erza and Minerva in battle due to being under both of their titles.

(Basically character building for storyline)

In reality these snakes usually pass away in captivity, are small and only live for a few years.

I’d imagine this snake would be around 400+ years old, and survived the “war” 400 years prior along side some other creatures and dragon variants like the water dragons (that remained secluded under water). Because Dragon snakes don’t have as long of a life span as water dragons, the the serpents dwindled down to a few, while water dragons are still plenty in numbers.

Minerva can’t preserve the serpent in her pocket dimension. (Which is good for throwing enemies in every once in a while). Ofcourse the serpent can fly, that why it was recognized as a dragon in the fairy tail world. Because the snake has dragon ancestors it would’ve been recognized as one because the addition of flight that other snakes didn’t have. (Debatable weather or not Erik’s snake Cubellios is one aswell).

Storyline wise, what connection the Dragon Snakes has with Minerva or her ancestors, why Minerva’s mom was the last one with the magic, and all is really up to a story to tell. I don’t want this to sound fanfic-Ish but more the and actual au that takes a different turn in story. It would also explain why Minerva dad was really trying to exploit her, thought there’s no excuse for dv, and dv can start without cause or reason. Just an anime explanation type of thing.

I also have Ideas for Jellals “Tattoo/birthmark”, the Tower of Heaven, Sho’s “Tattoo”. Kagura and Ikaguras swords. And more. Even some Ideas about old Fairy Tail, and characters from before the 400 year skip. Like Anna and Acnologia.

15. i carried you to the car and drove you home but you weren't making any sense.

Also got an anon requesting this so I hope they also ship harringrove lol

-

It’s another party of the week, another reason to get shitfaced. Except this time Billy didn’t get the chance, because by the time he worked his way to his third beer, Steve had apparently decided to drown himself in the punch bowl, and, well, intervening needed to occur.

It’s surprisingly easy to get Steve out of party when he’s hammered - if he starts off the night in a good mood, anyway. Billy’s learned by now a drunk Steve nursing wounds is a little more bitter, a little less cooperative. But happy-drunk Steve? He’ll do just about anything you say. Gets all clingy and giggly and it’s kind of fucking adorable, which is the part Billy can’t say out loud.

Nursing a crush on a straight boy is difficult enough. Nursing a crush on a straight boy who likes to hold onto you when he’s too drunk to stand up on his own is a new level of hell entirely. And yet here he is, putting himself through it again.

“Are we going on an adventure?” Steve half slurs, have giggles into Billy’s ear as he’s placed into the passenger seat of the Camaro.

“Yes, your majesty,” Billy responds dryly. “Your chariot awaits.”

He closes the door on Steve clapping and doing a little jig in his seat. Billy bites back a smile as he rounds to the driver’s side.

Steve’s body is turned to him as he gets inside, posture slouched and relaxed as he lets his weight sink into the leather, cheek pressed against the headrest. “Do you know fairytales?”

Billy let’s himself chuckle. Always loves to hear a good drunk rambling. “Yeah, I think I’ve heard one or two.”

“Good.” Steve smiles at him while Billy starts up the car, pulling out of the driveway. “So you know how there’s, like, far away kingdoms and stuff, right?”

“Sure.”

“I’ve always wanted to go. Just, get on a horse and-“ he makes a fart sound and a motion with his hands that indicates zooming forward.

Billy laughs. “Yeah, can’t imagine why you’d ever want to leave this place,” he responds sarcastically.”

Steve either intentionally ignores the remark, or is too drunk to follow another train of thought, so he plows on. “I would go, and there’d be a pretty prince- princess. And then we could go off to the sea and have six little nuggets-“

“Six?! Harrington, what kind of broad do you think is popping out six kids?”

“I want six!” He pouts, and maybe Billy could see how some poor chick could be manipulated into fulfilling that wish, just from those goddamn lips. “With curly blonde hair and- and blue, blue eyes. Like the sea.”

“Yeah. Okay. Good luck with that.”

“Gotta fight the dragons, though,” Steve mumbles. “Gotta keep him safe.”

“Him?” Billy cocks an eyebrow, eyes still on the road. Steve’s lost him completely now.

“Whatever.” Steve shrugs.

“You know, your fairytale doesn’t have to have dragons, pretty boy. Even if they are bad ass.”

“But mine does. There’s, so, so many dragons. Gets exhausting sometimes.”

Steve’s voice drifts off, his eyes falling shut as they turn into his driveway.

Billy shuts the engine off and sits in the silence for a moment, listening to the soft snores filling the car. There’s a peacefulness to Steve now that he doesn’t really carry when he’s awake. Billy wishes he could capture it, savor it a little while longer.

He fights the urge to reach out and brush a lock of hair that’s fallen over Steve’s eyes. Doesn’t want to disturb him- doesn’t want to risk being caught.

With a sigh, he gets out of the car as quietly as he can to maneuver Steve into his arms without waking him.

He carries him up to his bedroom, laying him down gently over the covers of his bed. Steve immediately curls up on his side, back to Billy, and there’s a moment where he thinks he could lay down beside him, if only for a few minutes. Be up and gone before Steve even flutters an eyelid awake.

He won’t let himself do it.

But as he’s leaving he spots the plastic crown from when Steve won prom king, tossed away forgotten in the corner.

Billy grabs it, dusting it off a bit before setting it on the pillow beside Steve. Doesn’t really know why he does it. Would like to say it’s a joke, another taunt reflective of their first interactions together.

But Billy’s not that guy anymore. Not with Steve, anyway. He doesn’t want to think too much about it. He hopes Steve won’t either.

Episode 9: The Legendary Unikron

The post where I finally make the naming format of this blog more sane

This is the same place as the one, where in the episode "Heads for no Tails" it will be revealed that Kerubim obtained the legendary, life-draining Heads for no Tails restraint while pissdrunk. Y'know. The one meant for an Ondine created by Djaul to trick the dragon Aguabrial into creating a Dofus.

Yeah, I will not think too much about the fact that it is flipped. To me, they're The Same Place. I guess he's been drinking here for decades. Kind of cute.

And yeah I guess it means the Ondine named Ondine, from the episode Like a Snapper in the Water is literally just named "Siren the Siren". I guess her mermaid parents weren't very creative. I'll mention this when I liveblog that episode too, but I would feel bad, if I didn't mention this here too.

We will talk about my feelings on Kerubim leaving the legendary demon-killing life-draining shackles somewhere Joris, in his shelf-climbing corridor-running wisdom, could reach, later.

We'll get there when we get there.

Glad to know there's a reason Kerubim and Joris live in a bad neighborhood. And that reason is that Kerubim wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else.

Love his scary and off-putting behaviours.

Okay, rant incoming:

Firstly, this is a customary french drink bowl, to stop any wondering from the non-french aware readers. It's normal for French people to drink coffee, milk, and tea from a bowl, soup-style, in the morning and in the evening. So this part is normal.

Now onto more sillywhacky part of this: What the fuck is Joris doing here, exactly?

As we can see, his Bowl of Liquid is steaming even before he starts pouring the chocolate milk into it. Is he adding chocolate milk to hot milk? Is he adding chocolate milk to cocoa or hot chocolate? (I will fight people who don't differentiate between them, they're two different things, you heathens.)

Is he, mayhaps, adding it... to tea?

We will never know, yet the question is haunting.

Interestingly, it seems that one of Simone's jobs around the house is polishing swords. Also, her being here so late means that, quite predictably, she is a live-in maid.

(You can see that like, 50% of this blog is me paying to random details that could only be useful in like, extremely faithful fanfiction, and 50% getting whacky with this show's storytelling.)

I love Simone so, so much. Truly, she is Joris's cooler aunt.

No comment besides this image.

Joking. I do have a comment, actually. Imagine me putting on a tinfoil hat here, btw.

I think it's kinda telling that Joris's main fear, the one that re-occurs a multiple times during the show, and always, without fail, makes him break down in tears, is Kerubim dying.

The facts that are important to keep in mind are: They've been living together alone for Joris's entire life, Joris knows he's adopted, and Kerubim himself is an orphan, which he doesn't really hide.

Which leads to multiple conclusions, which all coexist:

1. Joris is a kid who's very aware of the mortality of parents/guardians, and that, above everything else, that he is lucky to have a home and a semblance of family. That if Kerubim wasn't there, he may not have had that.

Which is uh... a pretty stressful thing for a kid his age to know, I suppose!

Especially considering the fact that Kerubim is an old man riddled with back pains, and for 7 years had such a level of post-lou-divorce post-battle-with-julith depression that he could not figure out how to get them into a clean, non-shitty non-hazardous home.

And now that their home IS clean, still can't make it non-hazardous.

2. Joris and Kerubim are much closer than most parents and children, because they literally have no other relatives, and Kerubim has pushed away most people who would consider him a friend in the past. Only relying on one another isn't the best or healthiest idea, but what choice do they have?

You can't just show up at home, be like "i would be dead, if it wasn't for you giving me water, my jojo <3" and not expect to inflict some eldritch horror levels of psychic damage onto your son.

Especially considering the fact, that he KNOWS, from your own shitty stories, that when you're gone, and it IS a when, because you're an old man who's constantly complaining about his health, he's going to be fending for himself all alone.

It's pretty obvious, then, why Joris would put Kerubim on a very high pedestal and, as will be shown later, prioritize the man's feelings over his own. Kerubim is his best friend, his role model, provider, guardian, AND the only one family member he has.

Besides depending on him, Joris knows papycha is a very, very lonely and sad person, — and who is he, not to try and make the life of the one person, who's most important to him, better?

If Kerubim isn't always happy, both in general and with Joris, then that's the worst thing ever, and if Kerubim isn't amazing, all-capable, and Not Going To Die Within The Next Couple Of Years Due To Being Old As Fuck, then their life is Over.

So Joris has to put in a lot of work.

This analysis isn't even picking apart the nitty-gritty of Kerubim being an orphan and having abandonment issues, or the way those things make him latch onto Joris the same way Joris latches onto him — as if this child is his Only Hope and Savior, Who Won't Leave Him Like All The Others.

And how that might lead to him REALLY liking Joris idealizing and putting him on a pedestal, despite the guilt he might feel knowing that that's kind of a... not-good parenting tactic.

...Man this post isn't even a rewatch liveblog anymore, it's just an analysis post, innit? 💀

[cookii-moon]

This is my excuse to gush over Dragon form because yes.

Basically headcanon and redesign galore yayy

More under the cutoff since this is LONG. You have been warned.

The first part is an introduction, and then the second is actually talking about my designs and ideas and stuff, plus some thoughts/snippets/headcanons... help me.

SO apparently I am far more stupid than I thought, and the reason I say that is because for WHATEVER REASON, it took me ONE. YEAR. For the thought "Hey Cookie the ninja became dragons that one time" to even properly cross my mind, let alone set in. Which is surprising, because I historically freak out over dragons. You'd think that my favorite blorbos having dragon forms would make me instantly go crazy, but no, it took an entire year for my brain to even realize it was... you know... dragon related... even.though I knew they were dragon related... I just didn't... does that make sense? Probably not.

ANYWAYS

As it stands the dragon forms are forgettable because they're literally just reskins but with different element colors (which makes sense, cause yknow... Lego molds...) and then they vanish which obviously yeah. Who knows maybe they'll come back in dragons rising now that the ninja have their powers again.

BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP ME FROM GUSHING OVER THEM ONE YEAR AFTER THEY WERE RELEVANT.

Hyperfixation transcends the measly concept of time (actually that's probably not true I wouldn't know since I don't think about the very fabric of reality that often) so good luck stopping me.

ANYWAY, so uh... I might or might not have on a whim made messy concept sketches for each dragon form, made up a ton of headcanons, and chosen color scheme... no... no I didn't do that.

Okay yeah I did that.

...I was supposed to do two at a time.

How did I get here. The power of autistic brain.

Time to actually talk about the designs!!

Uhhh I'm gonna go in true potential order... because yes.

First... Zaneee!!!

Without color in case it's confusing

Also you're gonna notice a trend with this being that the drawings are not high quality or rendered or anything and are sloppily colored and that's because they're just concepts. I only did the actual "big" draconic traits because I wanted to get it finished quickly so i had an excuse to talk about it. If I ever do use them for an actual art piece then I'll fully render them n stuff obviously this is just to get across the concept.

So since Zane is a robot it.. would be kinda hard for him to suddenly get like.. organic dragon wings... or whatever...

So instead- he gets cybernetic dragon wings and a tail. Yes i know that still requires cartoon logic. The power of creation just magicked them into existence OK? It makes more sense than randomly growing scales.

The mechanic parts are mostly held together/afloat by the ice energy flowing through them (which is what the crystal-like fragments that make up most of his wings are!)

Also his horns are like a little crown... because... I dunno I thought it'd fit with his haircut and such but also ice Emperor (even though he didn't really wear a crown) look this was drawn at like 2 am I don't know what I was thinking with it or why I didn't actually draw the haircuts as well..

I imagine that he'd be very cold to the touch, especially his wings (which are pretty much sheets of ice) both Jay and Kai have ways of circumventing it, but when Cole has to deal with it (like sitting next to him or such) he gets sluggish pretty quickly. Zane is still trying to figure out a way to ease it a bit.

He also tends to make clanging noise by tapping his tail against the ground when he's upset, or make mechanical whirring noises when irritated. Nobody quite knows why since yknow robot, it's just a quirk.

His ice energy does mean he's gotten a power boost. Just like literally everyone else.

Also this is going to involve me assuming they kept these features because if Lloyd can be part dragon then so can the ninja I dare you to fight me /lighthearted

Jay!! He bird. Feather scrunchie.

"But Cookie that's not a dragon-"

Shhhh If a dinosaur can have feathers so can a dragon they're both giant reptiles OK. Feather dragon. It's a thing.

I'm going to be honest the only thing going through my mind while drawing this was vague wing shapes I can't even put a name to (they were probably from monster hunter... I think... Uh... ) and silkie chickens. Not quite sure why I thought of silkie chickens, but I did. So here we are.

So anyways I love him. HIM!! FEATHER MAN!!!

Also I just realized while writing this he can finally be fugi dove's proper equal and arch nemesis. Amazing.

So while drawing I was like "it'd be neat if he could produce static n such with his wings/feathers" so I took off to the internet and after trying a ton of different "CAN BIRDS MAKE STATIC" "ARE BIRD FEATHERS STATIC" and such search queries I finally came up with that ostrich feathers can have static and chicken feathers were used in computer components and hummingbirds can produce static from how fast they flap their wings. Is that trustworthy whatsoever? Probably not. (Surprisingly the most trustworthy one seems to be that chicken feathers were used for computer components which is funny) But rule of cool. I get to break the laws of physics and reality for my story as long as it's cool. Yay.

He's very fluffy and enjoys using his wings to snuggle up in bed :) Cole also tries to steal him as a blanket during winter. Nya and Lloyd can't because of the static but Cole can't be shocked so Jay just has to begrudgingly accept it with his hollow bones and consequentially low weight. He's also known to let sparks off when he's excited/happy, which is f u n.

Also I used the blue/yellow color palette because they seem to be leaning towards using more yellow in Jay's color themes (like how they started using orange in Cole's or blue in Zane's) and I thought it worked really well here so yeah!! It also helps differentiate him even more.

He sheds like crazy. Especially during winter where he gets EVEN FLUFFIER. (no one knows how it's even possible) Feathers everywhere. Cole and Kai also shed, but they shed skin all in one go (usually..), whereas Jay just leaves a pillows worth of feathers everywhere he inhabits, and it drives them insane.

The type of dragon he is is mostly a flight based species. They hunt in the air, live in the air for most of their lives, and such. Because of that not only does he rarely sit down, but he is FILLED with excess energy. He's also the most natural and second fastest flier, and fastest consistent flier.

Because the type of dragon he takes after is so focused on flight, they also roost up in really high places, so you'll probably find him on the top bunk, up in rafters, on the Monastery roof, etc. He loves that they're on a mountain because it means he can take a flight whenever he wants to. That doesn't stop him from being horrible at evading actual birds, though.

He also regularly makes "chirp" and clicking noises. (By chirp I mean the type a cat will do while looking at a window or such. Look up cats chirping or smthn for an example if u haven't heard it before.)

Could I have just made him a dragon with lightning bolt patterns?

Yes but that would be very boring and uncreative (in my opinion and standards I hold myself to ofc-) SO.

Jay is chicken. Jay uses wings to shoot lightning. Thank you for your time.

Cole. He crystal dragon. He's probably also gonna be a pain to draw (but also very fun) because of that. Yay.

I could of just done magma but I loved the idea of like a crystal dragon. So I made a ninjago related crystal dragon...

... again. Don't ask about the first one.

so uh I chose the colors bc like light blues/purples/white are pretty stereotypical crystal colors (plus I think they're pretty) and then orange... because. Cole. He has little crystal patches all over him and his scales also have like.. small crystals dotted all over.

I feel like whatever species of dragon he is is probably adapted to like.. mostly living in caves? Like cave bats kinda where it goes outside at night to hunt but sleeps and lives in caves, and probably goes deeper in the cave to hibernate. So because of that he can be sensitive to artificial light and doesn't really have any like adaptations for the winter, so he just tries to snuggle up with Jay or Kai to keep warm and gets really tired/sluggish when he's cold because reptile. On the other end he can sense vibrations since his species wouldn't be relying on sight as much, which is very handy.

Unlike Zane, Jay, or Kai, he can't really "fly" exactly. His wings are much smaller because the species kinda adapted to being able to use them as a sort of speed boost thing where they'd use them to get quick bursts of flight to catch prey, but since they mostly hunted on the ground and lived in caves they didn't need full on flight. However it's sorta a peregrine falcon situation where technically he is the fastest of all the ninja in flight, but only during a short burst.

He is also very well adapted to climbing vertical surfaces. His claws are REALLY good at gripping onto things since they were adapted to cling onto things such as stalactites, rock walls, etc. to traverse up ledges and deeper parts of caves, and he can also use his wings (and more specifically their claws) as a third pair of limbs to grip onto walls.

Cole tends to make more subtle noises, he growls when agitated and purrs when content or in pain (yes that's a thing, purring soothes and encourages healing, so cats will also purr when they're hurt or scared to comfort themselves) but it isn't very loud, so it's not easily noticeable.

Kai!!

Again

Could I have done magma for Cole and just given Kai flame wings?

Yes. But I'm not going to, because I find this approach more interesting.

... I joke that it's magma but not REALLy, it's still just.. fire... but his scales are brown cause I thought it fit. So. A lot of people like to draw Lloyd with the kinda dragon ears so I thought it'd be cute if Kai, as his guardian, also had them since, again, a lot of people like to see them as brothers. And I just gave him generic dragon horns. Because dragon.

It's hard to simplify it because... fire... so this is probably the worst sketch..

Look OK he gets to breathe fire. Like that's one of the most iconic medieval red dragon things, he's the fire ninja, he gets to breathe fire and blow smoke out of his nostrils when mad I don't make the rules.

I also kinda went all in on generic dragon tropes (i mean ig they're not as generic anymore because of stuff like HTTYD) because... Kai.

So like hot temper, fire breath, that type of thing.

He also has a hoarding habit, as in instead of cleaning or anything when he uses something and just tosses it aside, he puts it all in an ever growing pile of stuff that he just let's stay there until somebody else cleans it up because they were sick of it. Compared to Jay's feathers it's not the WORST thing in the world.

He's slower than Zane and Jay, but can fly for longer periods of time than Zane. His species is kind of adapted to flying closer to the land. So that they can eat some well cooked cow. Yknow generic dragon stuff.

I also think it'd be funny, since dragons are fiercely protective, if these dragons had a dragapult situation where if they didn't have a kid they'd just "adopt" (in their eyes, in reality it's abducting. Usually.) a random animal and pretend it's their child. Because. Kai.

He's also fireproof, to an extent. He can withstand intense heat (unlike Cole or Jay) and can withstand intense cold (Unlike Cole... poor guy) because fire. He can't dive bomb into a volcano though since it would eventually get through and burn him to a crisp, but in small amounts he'll be FINEEEE...

Im not quite sure if he'd make any sort of draconic noises or anything. I feel like maybe he'd growl when upset, but it'd be louder than Cole? Whereas Cole does it more frequently (probably to be passive aggressive) but it's much more silent. He also has a tendency to involuntarily raise his voice a lot.

Yeah that's about it. Also if you consider lloyd to be a dragon, or think of Nya as having dragon features from when she just became h2o that one time, then the entire group might as well be renamed to Dragon ninja. Even Wu!!

..I feel like Lloyd would be jealous- Like "Oh why do THEY get to go full dragon and have wings when I don’t?!" But he'd never say anything because Lloyd.. but everybody knows something is up and is trying to make him feel better... but it's making him feel worse because it just makes him feel more singled out... oh boy that's uh I'm gonna shut that depressing thought train down right there.

Poor pixal though... she's left out because she's too cool already.

ALSO if you ever use this or want to expand upon it/take inspiration from it PLEASE DO AND TELL/SEND IT TO ME I WANT TO SEE AND HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE DHRJGJDJDJ I LOVE WHEN MY STUFF PROMPTS IDEAS

[gojuo]

I’m fine with them making Aegon a rapist- it’s no departure from the books. BUT they could’ve paralleled him with Rhaenyra’s coercion of Criston to show that both are entitled aristocrats not worth the war that’s about to be fought for them, except the show refuses to accept that it was coercion. Or if they’re aiming for Alicent and Rhaenyra as ‘decent women in service of terrible men’, then Daemon should’ve been an irredeemable foil for this version of Aegon, rather than Aemond. Instead they’ve set up a situation where if you don’t support Rhaenyra as the fake feminist she is, you’re on the side of a degenerate (and by the sounds of the leaks, next episode it goes from bad to Ramsay level depraved). It’s so transparent it just makes me loath everyone.

I do mind that they have made Aegon a rapist because these loser showrunners have done every single thing imaginable to absolve Rhaenyra of all of her crimes and have rewritten her character to be something that is completely the opposite to her canon counterpart … and then they refuse to do the same thing to Aegon. They refuse to grant him this sympathy. Why does Rhaenyra get to be whitewashed but Aegon is made out to be worse? IIRC he was never stated to be an outright rapist. A sexual harasser, yes, but not a rapist (and Mushroom's garbage gossip does not count). Now if you stand behind team Green, you'll be a rape apologist? "But I support Alicent and Aemond not Aegon!" Yeah and? Team Green is still fighting to make Aegon king and now they have made Aegon a fucking rapist. Like what the fuck?

The difference between Aegon's and Rhaenyra's scenes is that the show refuses to acknowledge that what she did to Criston was rape. Did we get a scene with Criston breaking down in the same way as we did with Dyana? No. And we're never gonna get it either because this godawful show refuses to villainize Rhaenyra. Miss Maegor with Teats is allowed to be perfect and has done nothing wrong in her life ever in this show even though this is literally the exact opposite of what she is in F&B, but mister Aegon in this show is a rapist.

I mean yes of course, choosing a side in the Dance of the Dragons is missing the entire point of the Dance, that is true. But it is the fact that if they were going to whitewash Rhaenyra and absolve her of her crimes, then they should have done the same for Aegon. If they were going to make Aegon a disgusting rapist, then they should have done the same to Rhaenyra. But that is not what has been done here. Last episode Daemon and Rhaenyra murdered an innocent common-born servant we saw on screen for 2 seconds so that another noble could live in exile and it was a "yass girl gay rights" moment, and in this episode we have another innocent common-born servant violated and we have a whole 5 minute scene focusing on her breakdown and trauma and it is (rightfully so, of course) not a "yass girl" moment. Anyone with 2 working brain cells can obviously understand how vile both situations are, but it is the show itself that refuses to frame both situations as vile.

That's not how it gets to work. Either you want to whitewash Rhaenyra and therefore you must whitewash Aegon too, or you want to villainize Aegon and therefore you must villainize Rhaenyra too. You don't get to do one for the other and then not the same for the opposite side when you claim your show is "nuanced storytelling filled with morally grey characters" like Condal and Sapochnik liked to tell everyone in interviews. Rhaenyra and Aegon were cut from the same cloth in F&B, but after this episode, you really cannot say the same anymore.

[luimagines]

I heard Monster Hunter and Isekai in the same ask somewhere in here and I'm just gonna slide my MH loving self in here for just a minute.

So, that's really funny because even though a lot of monsters in LoZ are usually stronger than depicted in game sometimes, in my opinion as someone who's played at least two games of both franchises, monsters in Monster Hunter are more dangerous in terms of collateral and general damage.

My reasoning? Despite the fact that monsters in Hyrule are demons summoned by the Ganon or whoever, monsters in Monster Hunter are the equivalent of animals, meaning they just exist regardless in any point in time. No evil magic man required.

Even the weakest of large monsters could cause a considerable amount of damage and be moderately difficult to take down if you're inexperienced. The same can be said for the experienced taking down stronger monsters, in which that's like a 65% you're leaving that fight with bruises and broken bones.

Don't even get me started on elder dragons, they're basically Monster Hunter's equivalents to gods in terms of power. Lore wise, very few hunters ever leave hostile encounters with them alive. There's even a monster that's labeled as a black dragon that razed down an entire kingdom in a matter of hours.

So imagining a Reader who was isekai'd to Monster Hunter first before coming to Hyrule? If I had to wager, Reader could probably suplex a lynel if they really wanted to, like full send its skull into the floor. They would also have same damn cool armor and weapons since in Monster Hunter, nearly all tools are made from monster parts.

But yeah, I'm an avid fan of Monster Hunter as you might be able to tell. I can give more if you want it later.

Omg-

"A little help here!"

"What do you mean?" Reader flips off a bokoblin's head and finishes off a moblin in the process. "This is nothing!"

Cue the deadpanning from many boys.

"This monsters black blooded!"

Reader rushes in- takes it down by themselves. "I thought guys said they would be stronger."

I have a proposition, so hear me out. Arcana Actor AU. Thoughts?

-🔆

Yes. Just yes.

I wasn't really sure what to write because I've read headcanons of actor AUs. Like, with The Arcana being a movie/series, so I didn't really see the point of writing something that has been written a few times before. Instead, I chose something a bit different, but I'm not sure if this is what Anon had in mind.

I instantly had Nadia and Lucio's parts figured out, so I was like, why not do all of them? So here we are, for once, with headcanons of the entire main 6.

Enjoy!

The Main Six and the types of movies/series they'd act in

Asra: It might be too obvious, but Asra being a cool, goofy, and hot magician in a fantasy series? Hell yeah! Just imagine all the cool outfits and spells he would do. It's totally his style. I can also see him starring in a friends-to-lovers romance movie or something like Stranger Things.

Nadia: This gorgeous woman would be the perfect mafia boss in a prohibition-era gangster movie. She has the boss lady vibes, the elegance, the sexiness, and she's also intimidating enough for the role. Just give her a suit or a dress, a hat, put a cigarette in her hand and a gun in the other, and there you have the most alluring mafia boss to ever exist. Someone please draw her as a 1920s mafia boss. Please, I'm begging you. And also, I might write more about this someday because Nadia as a mafia boss is hot.

Julian: I don't think I have to say it. Give this man a hospital series. Actually, no. I can see him being a theater dude or a telenovela actor. You know, the kind of stuff that moms and grandmas like to watch (and secretly, pretty much everyone else does too.) Julian is a drama boi.

Muriel: Romance. Sweet, sweet Muriel would be a perfect choice for a love story that leaves the viewers in tears. But he would be a perfect narrator for nature documentation. His voice is deep and incredibly pleasant; plus, he wouldn't have to show himself at all.

Portia: Romcom with a hint of mystery. It's funny, exciting, and so sweet it might give someone diabetes. Portia would be the perfect partner in crime to fall in love with. It's the kind of movie that your mom first saw when she was young, and she still insists on watching it every year for Christmas because it's her favorite. It's that good.

Lucio: Someone should have put this man in Game of Thrones. Swords, fights, dragons, and tits. That's the kind of stuff actor Lucio would like. He would have been a perfect Joffrey if only he was about two decades younger.

TWST FIC: 'Her Devoted Shield' - Chapter 4

Oooh LAWDY, I realized as I was wrapping up this chapter that I hadn't updated the story in about a month. Hopefully this chapter was worth the wait lol.

For some reason Tumblr isn't letting me just post the chapter text here so, I'm just gonna leave a link to the AO3 post instead:

WARNING: The boys are going through it. Hell everyone is kinda going through something in this chapter lol. A big reason this chapter took a minute is because it became a catharsis dump for certain characters lol.

I have some thoughts which I'm putting under a read more cut so as not to spoil anything. But first, tagging peeps. If you'd like to be included on the taglist or even removed, lemme know

Ok so

*teleports entire Draconia bloodline into therapy*

Holy Tap Dancing Jesus 🤣

Real talk, I almost deleted over half of this chapter (aka the parts where Malleus pops off with major ‘tude to his entire support system) but looking back, I’m glad I didn’t. Because-*mooshes together the canon with her fanon*

This man had a cataclysmic meltdown because he felt like he was losing Lilia, who basically raised him, and he couldn’t handle it due to childhood trauma that was never dealt with.

Then he was kicked out of the one place where he could have just enough freedom to simply be Malleus the fae who loves gargoyles and his Drago tamagotchi, who sucks at social cues and technology, who could finally enjoy life a bit and is immediately isolated from everyone and everything in his own home for five years. Which isn’t a long time for fae, arguably. Even so imagine pulling a stunt like that with consequences that take everything away from you and shoves you back into the lonesome hole you finally escaped from. It SUCKS. It’s soul crushing…however, actions have consequences. And now he’s being taken off of his probation only to realize “Oh wait, I’m still trapped and out of control.” With, again, more unresolved trauma.

I don’t condone Malleus’s choices he made/is making in the game canon. I don’t even agree with how he treats the people around him in this chapter that I wrote. But taking everything into account…hell yeah he’d be angry!

You bet your ass he’d snap under pressure and lash out! I’d be more concerned if he didn’t. So yeah, I left it in because I wanted Malleus to be able to vent and to also get closure cuz dayum he needs it, Grandma Draconia needs it, and frankly his overworked cousin needs it too.

Honestly I got to the part where Malleus is popping off to Borlean and originally they were just gonna have a heated argument but then…my love for Godzilla movies kicked in once I realized they’re both powerful dragon boys and I was like

“LET THEM FIGHT.” …but only a little 😂 saving the intense violence for later.

On a completely different note: Lilia and Tai-Yang…they got some history 👀☕️ which I’ll be getting into in the next chapter. I’m dealing with all the drama right now, no slow burn 😂 until later cough
