#you can force him to be King but you cant MAKE him Rule

[evilminji]

This! This is EXACTLY the deranged Joker shenanigans he would pull! None of that Too Edgey 4 U bullshitt we see in modern comics! Just good old "how can I twist the 'Rules' you idiots think reality runs by, to my advantage? For a Laugh!" Classic malicious trickster spirit bullshit, stuffed into a mortal man where it doesn't quite fit.

I bet he even comes to find Danny FUNNY(tm). A right LAUGH! What an absurd man! Powerful beyond measure? But works at the waffle house. LIVES in a mausoleum? You look into his eyes and the Void stares back? Hilarious!

Tell me, Cooksy? Isn't life one big Joke? *goes in to the "here is my Defining Mentality Speech"* and?

World holds it's breath. Everyone tense. No one EVER agrees with him(Joker). And inevitably, he ALWAYS lashes out. Batman is almost literally TWITCHING at the doorway, trying not to lunge forward to save a man that probably doesn't even NEED his help.

Danny calmly puts the plate of special order Smiley Face pancakes in front of the Joker, looks him dead in the eye, and says "You're Right."

Because in a world? Where both of them EXSIST? He IS right! He's just ALSO insane and cruel. Life IS a Joke. It DOES only take one "bad day" to make a monster. Everything is arbitrary and they ARE just players, acting out their suffering on a stage, for the amusement of viewers unseen.

Danny knows.

That's why he's in the Waffle House.

Because when fully human [REDACTED] fell into that Day Glow Green vat of acidic SOMETHING in the Ace Chemicals plant? It changed him. Let him SEE and UNDERSTAND. More then a human should be able too.

He had himself a fun little Eldritch Mind Splintering Event via green goo.

Ectoplasm, one would guess. The seams of every reality. The glue of creation. Multidimensional and directional and temporal and more. Blood of GODS. Flesh of spirits. The very nature of the SOUL itself.

Dunked in it.

Behold the universe and stare unblinking, mortal. It shall stare back. Melt you. Crack your mind and stain your skin white. Drive you MAD MAD MAD. Then? It's over. And your left if the muck of a curse city, bruised and soaking wet, with no words for what you've SEEN.

Funny, isn't it?

Hilarious.

A great big JOKE.

But DANNY? There was no vat. Just whispers in dreams and weenies that tried to kill him. Slow poisoning in a house stain with ichor. Then a fixed point in Time. A Portal to between and beyond. The weight of EVERYTHING slamming open onto and through him, tearing him asunder. Balance and godhood. A dead child and future king. POWER.

Of course he saw.

Again and again. With no words to describe it. That which his friends could not. His suffering, his city, his loved ones. Players on a stage. Did they amuse? Does he amuse NOW? He has ceased to care.

Because it will never stop.

But, unlike Joker. He feels no need to make others SEE the Stage Of Life. The great Joke, as he calls it. Time resets, world ending events, invasions and wars, self-called Gods. Keep it outside his Waffle House. Don't touch his Mausoleum. Shoo. Get.

Danny IS part God, part Spirit, part Beyond. Unlike the Joker. It did not and can not drive him Mad. A little unhinged? Well, he IS only HALF. But he handles it well. He's a Fenton. They were always unhinged.

The problem is...well...

He PROBABLY should have lied. Because now the Joker is NEVER going to leave him alone. He may have gotten added to whatever Unfortunate mental category Batman is in. Dude, didn't even eat his pancakes.

Just froze like reality itself paused and STARED.

And stared.

AND STARED.

Really, really intensely. Like he was waiting for Danny to say "sike" or add some "...but-" follow up counter point that showed he DIDNT agree with him.

Gonna be waiting a LONG time, clown man. You are actually, factually, completely correct. You're just being a bastard about it and handling the revelation poorly. Stop taking it out on others. Not everyone has to get the joke. Let them believe the lie if it makes them happy. If you don't like how things are, just punch God about it.

Why do you think he's HERE? What grand epic can they force on him, inside his Waffle House? What tale of war and despair? He refuses. Garroted them with the strings of Fate they tried to puppet him around on.

But I guess that's the difference.

Danny still sees those around him as Alive. [REDACTED] never left that moment of pain and madness. Never will. Is far more a ghost then Danny ever could be, in far more ways. Hollowed out and butchered. Cruel.

Eat your pancakes and go home, "Joker". You finally got what you want, didn't you? You were told, truthfully, and with complete belief, that you were Right. Does it make anything better?

Of course not.

All it does is make a DEEPLY deranged Clown declare that They Are BESTIES~☆(TM). Probably by blowing up OTHER Waffle Houses to kill of Danny's "competition".

Danny is Very Tired.

Harley, Ivy, if he makes you two a carnivores plate and extra funfetti wild berry suprise waffles mound, AND let's Ivy have mostly free run of the cemeteries gardening? Could you..? *gestures*

Honestly, they'd do it for free. But heck yeah! Uninterrupted date night at the Waffle House and cemetery! Suuuuuuck it, Batsyyyy! *clown on clown violence across the city escalates* *Bat Blood Pressure Rising*

Dc x Dp #35

Gotham has a Waffle House that has been almost untouched for a few months now. Sure there have been a few fights inside, but that's no big deal. The big deal is that their cook has stopped plenty of attacks from robbers and even well known rogues.

Many of the staff and regulars also believed that the same cook was also a cryptid of some kid with how quiet he is, how cold his presence is, and how he seemed to just appear out of nowhere with no sound being made. But who cares? His waffles are the bomb.

Danny is thankful for the steady night job, but would very much appreciate it if the Bats stopped watching him through the windows.

‼️[ TW: stalking, obsession, yandere Sylus au ]

・┆✦ Entry : 041 ✦ ┆・

╰┈➤ ❝ [ So You Think You Are the Darkness? ] ¡! ❞

Sylus was enjoying himself a glass of wine after fixing up his new toy before suddenly feeling a sharp pain originate from the back of his head. He groaned, gripping his silver hair and stumbling before ultimately being plunged into total darkness.

The next time he opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar chair, plopped down with legs crossed on a white chair spouting nonesense he didnt want to say.

A flash of white would appear, and Sylus finds himself standing up towards a large screen in front of him. His body was moving on it's own, smirking, flashing a mischievous glint in his eyes, his eyebrows cocked up curiously as he once again spouted whatever.

Beyond that large screen in front of him is a person he is not familiar with,... Wait, why are you smirking?

Is there something so funny about his face? What is that stupid grin on your lips? What the hell?

Sylus's brain ringed as he hears your voice squeal in his head, watching your features contort into a lovely smile. He can tell you were kicking your feet and rolling on the bed like some sort of 13 year old girl having her first ever crush.

He snarls, clicking his tongue as he attempted to move— But nothing ame of his efforts.

The man elt like he was a hollow doll being puppeteered by some strings.

Oh and he hated that feeling.

The feeling of being underneath someone, the disgust he feels as he has to spout out words he doesnt ever want to say. Not to mention he is forced to stand like an awkward sack of potatoes as you tap and stroke around—

....

Did you Just?...

No way.

Sylus wanted to die right then and there.

You did not just rub his big fella.

You. Did. Not.

He felt like dying, he really did as he feels the gentle strokes— God.

He, the almighty lord of the N109 zone, the king who rules Onychinus at his fingertips, he who controls unimaginable power— Is helplessly screaming inside his head as he is humiliated over and over by having to stand still and look pretty as this wild person he doesn't even know poked at the trophy of his masculinity.

Was this punishment?

What has he ever done to offend the gods?

He cant even bring a finger up to flip off the person, or to even yell.

Sylus screamed out profanities in his head, wanting to so badly to just drop dead and disappear. If Luke and Kieran heard of this, he bets his soul to the devil they will never shut up about it.

He had to endure this torture for a number of days, but instead of resenting you more and more— He slowly found himself growing fond of you.

Turns out, hanging out in a sea of code is way more boring than whatever he does back home. Seeing you however? That was a different story.

At first, he found your admiration stupid and shallow. But as he sees the way you excitedly light up whenever he appears and working oh so hard to level up his affinity— Perhaps it tugged in his heartstrings

Just a little really.

Slowly, you were starting to grow cute in his eyes— Minus the fact you keep making rookie mistakes that send him over the edge facepalming at the mistakes.

But hey, at least you're trying.

...Hahah.

What?

He's atleast giving you credit for something, no?

Heh.

The fact that he is a game character didn't seem to bother Sylus at all. It was rather amusing even, the fact the he himself is just a product of someone's imagination in a different world is quite frankly a curious thing.

He could tell with how healthy and happy you are that wanderers do not exist in this world of yours.

Sylus could tell that in your world, you aren;t concerned of surviving the next day and calculating the people around you— Rather, you spend most of your time plucking your hair out over studies while he himself is sat down and cleaning a gun.

This game at least give shim something comfortable to do despite the fact that he has no control over his body in any shape or form.

The more time passes, the more Sylus started to see the errors in the system.

And nothing hurts to have a little... Fun.

He hacked into your phone system succesfully, roaming about and curiously poking here and there.

You awfully consume a lot of media pertaining to him. Sylus would only cock up an eyebrow and shake his head before stalking around a little more until—

...

"Who is this?" Sylus's voice grew a little annoyed as he saw the album containing another man.

The man was tall, not taller than him of course— Dressed in black, an asian guy who appears to be like a grim reaper with the way he carries himself. At least 3000 pictures of this same guy over and over in a single album, hundred times more than your album of him,

Sylus click his tongue and furiously started researching.

Ah.

His name is Jinwoo.

What a fascinating fellow.

Some fancy titles he has, the shadow monarch, the tenth s-ranker of south korea, the strongest hunter, and quite the charming powers. An ability over the undead?

It made him feel fury.

Oh he's so glad this bastard is just another fictional character just as himself in your little world.

Sylus disliked every bit of it, the fact that he shares a space in your heart with that lousy man.

Sure, he's impressive and all.

But oh darling he can do much,... Much more for you.

You think such a pathetic man is worthy of your affections? Darling he's all your.

Sweetie, why are you being so ridiculous about this?

No.

He cannot allow it.

That space in your delicate heart must only be his.

He must be the only person in this precious heart of yours, kitten.

It was a long day of university, your head is throbbing and your legs are about to give out. Walking all day has placed a number on your poor body and you wanted nothing more than to laze around and admire your men.

Sylus had been taking over your time so you decided to compensate your other hubby and reread Solo Leveling.

It's been a while after all, surely there are more panels to screenshot despite the fact that you already have hundreds of pictures of that oh-so-wonderful man.

So you open the app and—

...

Pitch Black.

Your phone just shut off out of nowhere?

You panic, holding the power button and smacking it around. Even tried to reach for the charger until you scream and drop your phone to the floor.

Inside your phone was a wide, bloodshot red eye like a crimson moon.

You stumble on your feet, falling down on the floor as you scrambled away from the device.

This cant be happening, right?

This is just a dream, isn't it?

No.

No.

No.

"Awe, kitten, are you scared?"

A familiar voice break through the silence, your head darting around to find the source but to no avail— The fact that you cant see anything made you all the more frightened.

You tremble, hyperventilating as your heart hammered against your chest.

"Now, now, sweetie" A low rumble hums in the air, "You'll get a heart attack if you continue like that, kitten. I can't have that."

Footsteps would start echoing on the floor, making you all the more frightened as you sobbed frantically.

"Mn, how cute."

You feel a hand roughly grab your chin, yanking it in front of you where a pair of crimson red eyes glowed and a face appearing.

Silver hair dancing in the air, illuminated by the blood moon outside the window. Black, and a neatly tailored suit over his shoulders.

Sylus.

"There, we go, kitten." Sylus hums, smirking coyly as he sees your flabbergasted expression. "I'm much, much more handsome up close, aren't I?"

His free hand teases your inner wrist; making you shiver in reponse, sliding it up sensously before ultimately intertwining your fingers. His palms were much much more larger than yours. Warm even.

"So cute," He whispers, before leaning down and capturing your lips in a blazing kiss.

It felt like your throat was on fire as Sylus prevented you from gasping for any air.

The more you struggled, the more your conciousness started slipping away.

And the next thing you knew— You were being dragged into the abyss.

⋅ ˚ ₊ ‧ ଳ ‧ ₊ ˚ ⋅ ⋆ ౨ৎ ˚ ⟡ ˖ ࣪

You wake up, groaning as you tousled over, your body aching and heavy.

"Sweetie, you woke up so early" A deep voice says, and you look up to find Sylus dressed in his robes— His chest and abdomen open for you to see. "Your body is still adjusting to your new reality, kitten. Sleep more."

He sat on the edge of the bed, amused red orbs gleaming as he lightly pushes you down on his sheets and pulls the blanket over your chest.

"There's a good girl," Sylus praises you, leaning down to kiss your forehead as a reward. "Don't worry, my sweet angel, all you need to do is sit still and look pretty. I'll take care of the rest.

Thranduil gripped your chin and forced you to meet his gaze. "Sweet starlight, why do you turn your face from me?"

You said nothing, your cheeks merely burning with embarrassment. Thranduil’s question should have surprised you, but it did not. Whenever you shared pleasures with the king, he would want to look into your eyes, and you would inevitably close them and turn away. Before this night, he did not ask why you did it, and now? Now he wanted some sort of explanation.

Of course, you had an explanation, just one, but that embarrassed you even more.

"Starlight?" Thranduil was not about to let this go. "Why do you look away?"

You hummed quietly and sat up, flushing when the king sat up with you. "I… umm… that is…" you stumbled over your words, your tongue tied up in knots. Thranduil studied you with barely disguised curiosity while you fidgeted with the hem of your robe. "The thing is… I…" you buried your face in your hands and sighed. "I am not sure you would like how I look when we… when we…"

Understanding dawned, and Thranduil smiled when he heard a muffled scream. "Starlight," he pulled your hands away from your face. "Is that what troubles you? That I might be repulsed by the expressions you make when making love?"

You nodded meekly, still too embarrassed to face him. Thranduil kept smiling and looked around, his gaze skimming over the chamber before it rested on something that caught his eye and piqued his interest—something that gave him an idea. "Stay here," he said, and rose out of bed.

You raise your head, wondering what he was up to. The answer presented itself soon enough with the sound of wood creaking. Thranduil had hefted a large silvered-looking glass, one that was taller than him, and brought it over, placing it at the foot of the bed with a soft thud.

"There," he huffed, dusting his hands before joining you in bed. "That should do nicely."

You studied your reflection in the shimmering glass and gulped. "Do nicely for what, my love?"

Thranduil smiled—a slow, wicked smile—before making himself comfortable next to you. "I want you to see, starlight," he breathed huskily, and he helped you to your knees, his arm around your waist. "I want you to see that there is nothing for you to hide. I want you to see how much I enjoy seeing you while I pleasure you—that there is nothing for you to be shamed by. Now, will you permit me to go further?"

The very idea of it—watching him in the reflection of that looking glass while he pleasured you—was just so shocking, so very sinful, and more than a little daunting. It made you nervous to watch him like this, to have him look up and watch you; you were unsure you could do it. Still, you could not keep averting your gaze every night, so you came to a decision and nodded. "Yes. You can go further."

Thranduil’s eyes blazed in the dim candlelight, his hands reaching over to your robe. You felt it—the heat of his breath against the nape of your neck when he moved slightly behind you, the warmth of his hands that radiated through your silks. And you kept still, so very still, your gaze fixed on the looking glass.

The king took his time, untying the belt of your robe and drawing it away, exposing what lay beneath. "You look like a painting, starlight," he murmured, his hands sliding over to your belly. "Your body is so perfect, like you had stepped out of a vision."

Helpless and stunned, you continued to keep still, unable to tear your eyes away from what you were witnessing in the looking glass. Thranduil’s hand moved up, over to your breasts, running his fingers over your nipples over and over again until they started to throb and ache, and harden beneath his touch.

"Do you see it, starlight, how your body trembles?" Thranduil whispered, his touch persistent and demanding.

Flushed and breathless, you did indeed see it—how the muscles of your belly fluttered, how your entire body quivered. And there was Thranduil, his eyes darkening with lust, the need in his gaze matching the growing desire in yours. You felt it, growing prickles of pleasure all over your body, heat slowly pooling at your core. You blushed and instinctively tried to look away, but Thranduil caught it.

"Look into the looking glass, starlight," he crooned, his hand gliding down to the apex of your thighs. "And focus on me. I want you to see how high I could take you."

You raised your eyes and found his locked on yours. Embarrassment slowly morphed into something else, something dark and primal, when he moved his hand over to your slit and found it already hot and wet. His fingers moved in a slow, delicate rhythm, and his name parted your lips in almost a sob. You still couldn’t look away, not when he possessed you the way he did. Your body started to move against him; your hands moved to rest over his, and his groan, guttural and harsh, felt so sweet to your ears. 

"That is it, starlight," he rasped, his voice already roughened, when your first moan spilled free. "Show me how much you desire this."

Thranduil watched, utterly spellbound, as you came undone in front of him, how you sagged into him, your moans and mewls slowly turning to pleas. Pleas for more, pleas for him to go faster, to take you higher. He wanted to incite and inflame, to break down your walls, and he was amply rewarded when your hands pressed over his, to guide him. He slid a finger inside the warmth of your sex, then another, moving them inside you, slowly growing drunk on your needy moans.

"Th-thranduil," you whimpered shakily, all sense of shame now long forgotten. The sight of the woman in that looking glass, her body yielding to pleasure of the acutest kind, her eyes darkening with each deft stroke, was too beautifully erotic, and you took great pleasure in seeing it—how he pleasured you, how he took you higher and higher, like he promised.

"Do you see, sweet starlight?" Thranduil cooed sweetly, "Do you see you have nothing to hide? How much I delight in seeing you this way?"

How true he was, and how foolish you felt. And how Thranduil looked on, with lust-filled eyes, as if he were feasting on what he was seeing. "I do see," you breathed, harsh and ragged, the muscles in your belly coiling as your release neared. 

"Keep looking, starlight," Thranduil ran his tongue over your neck even as you trembled and he felt a tightening around his fingers. You were close, so very close. "See how beautiful you are even now."

And you looked on with heavy-lidded eyes as a wave of bliss rose higher and higher, as a sweet, delightful pressure grew stronger and stronger, unceasing, until it felt like your body splintered, and Thranduil’s name came out like a desperate, wanton cry. Your entire body shook against his as you slumped into him, your breath coming out in shallow pants. Thranduil held onto you, moaning softly as your walls contracted around his fingers, pulling them deeper. His gaze cut to the looking glass and found you, looking right back at him, your lips curling into a deep and satisfied smile.

"You were right," you murmured, your hands still over his. You turned to the side and found his lips just over yours. "There was nothing for me to be shamed by."

Thranduil leaned in and kissed you, his body humming with unsated need. "Absolutely nothing," he said, before helping you lay back in bed. "And now, starlight, I hope you will indulge me, by letting me make incredibly thorough love to you this night."

No longer plagued by your fears, you smiled and welcomed him into his arms.

Wish rewrite with Amaya as the villain (spoilers)

While I love Chris Pine as the narcasistic King Magnifico, I feel like they wasted a opportunity to have Amaya as a villain.

Instead of a confident narcissist, Magnifico is a timid yet sweet wizard who stays in his lab, waers ragged servant clothes behind closed doors, and doesnt come out that often, except to grant wishes. Think of him as a male version of Elsa and Snowwhite.

the pressure to grant everyones high expectations and his own introvert nature causes him to often screw up the wishes he has to grant at the ceremony. Note that the wishes that he grants are all materialistic yet harmless, like, "I want a puppy!" or "I want a house!"

Amaya, who serves as Mother Gothel/Evil Queen to Magnificos Rapunzel/Snowwhite, married him solidly because of his sorcery and has been secretly breaking his self-esteem over the years. She installed the dogma in Magnificos head that only SHE can judge wishes accordingly and that people cant be trusted with them because they are all selfish (which is true, to a extent). Not only that, but she also keeps Magnificos OWN wish - to be a great wizard - to herself as a means to control him.

Then, enter Asha, who sees this emotional abuse by accident and boldly speaks her mind to Magnifico about this, planting the first seed in Magnificos head that Amaya is using him, much like the town is using him for.materialistic wishes. Magnifico doesnt believe Asha because of denial - the wishing ceremony is the only time his subjects actually pay attention to him and his sorcery is his only means of value to the community - and so, he banishes her from the castle.

The movie could then still follow the same broad lines with Asha meeting Star and convincing the townspeople to rise up.

Unlike the materialistic wishes that Magnifico can grant with his staff, Star's magic can actually do wondrous things - like, grant an infinite number of wishes, make people magically fall in love with you, bring people back from the dead, etc. Once Amaya gets Star, she plans to dump Magnifico for the better option. As her methodes become more and more extreme to quell the revolutionists and find Star, Magnifico keeps the fragil peace between the revolutionists (who want all the wishes returned to them) and patriots (who are on Amaya's side and believe wishes should be governed). his popularity skyrockets, as people start to respect and see him as more than just a genie in a bottle. in turn, Magnifico becomes more confident.

Amaya becomes furious that the balance in their relationship has shifted. Fearing Magnifico becomes too comfident and will free himself from the abuse, she locks Magnifico up in the highest tower, steals his staff and absorbs the bad/selfish/harmful wishes that Magnifico keeps contained in a seperate vault.

The final battle/climax would then play out almost the same as in the movie: Asha and Star lure the "Queen" in a wild chase scene while her friends free Magnifico.

Magnifico is at his lowest point as Amaya forces all of Rosas, including himself, to its knees with the bad wishes. He is powerless without his staff and equipment to stand up to her. Asha reminds him that "he is a Star!", not because of his magic but because of his good heart.

Magnifico is freed from Amayas magical grip thanks to the belief of Asha and his people. He fuses with Star (think of Rapunzel in the Tangled series, when her eyes and hair glow) to fight Amaya in a sorcerous duel that pays tribute to Merlins duel with Madame Mim. He wins, imprisons her in the Mirror, stores the bad wishes back into the vault and revives the good wishes.

rin the ending, Star grants Magnifico his wish to be a great wizard, giving him the ability to grant powerful wishes like Star. Magnifico then rules as the King of Rosas with Asha as his right hand.

HIP HIP HOORAY! THE COUNCIL HAS SPOKEN USING THE LANGUAGE OF HEART BUTTON. iv permission to be annoying!

so this has been brought to my attention after seeing the reaction to the new robin movie announcement. elseworlds has really fucked up dc fans understanding of how adaptations work im so serious.

im not saying this bc elseworlds stories r bad. quite the opposite i love these comics (batman n dracula trilogy u changed my brain chemistry ily bbgrl) no im entirely talking about elseworlds as a brand. i am talking about how these stories r marketed bc it has done irreparable damage im thinking.

so the thing about dc? they want u to know what a characters whole deal is. batmans real name is bruce wayne and hes a rich orphan who protects gotham city. superman is an alien whose planet blew up and he landed in kansas as a baby where he was given the name clark kent and was raised on a farm then he moved to metropolis to become a reporter. these characters have a certain way they hav to be and their stories r supposed to be. if ur adaptation of the story strays to far from this no problem we'll just label it as elseworlds. except not really they dont always do that.

case in point: the new robin movie that was literally just announced and doesnt even have a trailer yet. yeah well theyre making jason and dick around the same age. people cant be normal about this. "oh this will be so many peoples first introduction to the characters and this isnt how theyre supposed to be!" calm down. this is an all new version of the characters we havnt seen before. the point of an adaptation is not to be identical to the original. at that point just read the original. what do i mean by this? well-

another large franchise i love is godzilla. literally the only thing the godzilla movies and shows have in common is they have a giant lizard in them. you dont need to know what this guys whole deal is to call yourself a fan. do i highly recommend u watch the original 1954 movie and learn a bit about the history of the franchise if u got into it through some of the more recent godzilla media? yes but obviously i cant force u to do any of that. a lot of these movies straight up do not take place in the same universe. theyre different godzillas. one godzilla isnt "destroying" peoples perception of what godzilla is because its different from the original movie that has a completely different godzilla.

none the less before people jump to conclusions i want to make 1 thing clear: learn the rules before you break them. there have been changes made to the story before that i think r disrespectful to what the 1954 movie originally was. its easy to skim past if u dont know the characters history. for example in godzilla king of the monsters 2019 (and im not dunking on u if u like the movie bc i do also. that doesnt mean im not above criticizing it however) they have the only Japanese character get killed off by using a nuclear weapon to awaken godzilla.in this usamerican adaptation.of a movie that was made.as a metaphor for the bombings of Hiroshima.yeah that is a major yikes.

so yeah this is what i mean when i say learn the rules before you break them. it can be obvious that u either dont like what ur adapting or missing the point or just straight up havnt watched or read it none the less one adaptation doing things differently doesnt automatically mean its disrespecting the source material.

i think dc really shoots itself in the foot by making it so you have to know what every characters whole deal is and if u stray to far from that its labeled elseworlds. then when something isnt labeled as elseworlds fans get pissed at how inaccurate it is. monsterverse isnt marketed as "an alternate universe where godzilla is a million year old alien" its just godzilla. now u could say comparing this to godzilla is unfair because hes barely a character. hes a giant lizard and directors r supposed to play around with him like a barbie doll. so heres another comparison that ive already made a bunch

in mainline tmnt idw comics the turtles r reincarnated from a bunch of kids in medieval japan. this is not in any other version. in mutant mayhem the turtles go to school. this isnt in any other version. adaptations usually flip back and forth on if splinter is mutated hamato yoshi or hamato yoshi's mutated pet rat. the 4 main turtles personalities vary widely depending on adaptation bc "leader, angry, smart and funny" arent personality traits so much as they r quirks. depending on how old someone is they might have a different idea of what the lore of tmnt is if they arent super into the franchise and only know the show/movies/comics they grew up with. this is really not a big deal at all. two people having different ideas of what a character is like bc they were exposed to them from different adaptations is not as big of a deal as dc fans pretend it is. before the the tim burton movies a lot of peoples perception of batman came from the 66 show and that 1 is.very different from how the average joe would think of batman today. and that wasnt the end of the world either! again people can and should learn the history of these stories but complaining about how bad a version of the story a newcomer might like is bc its not like the one u like isnt going to make them wanna look deeper into the franchise. we should be calmly approaching these newer fans and giving recommendations and reading list if they show interest in a character or story

like literally there is a lot of criticism u could make about yjtv but it boils my blood how much bad faith criticism iv seen that can just be summarized as "this is not how this character should be". because i guess there r just definitive versions of characters now

look im not even saying if an adaptation is different u still have to like it. i actually hate a lot of adaptations bc theyre different from what i like. but the opposite is also true. there r adaptations i like bc what they do differently. something being different doesnt automatically make it good or bad is what im trying to say so now that brings us back to elseworlds.like not sorry it shouldve stayed dead.not the stories just the name elseworlds. i really dont like dc bringing back elseworlds. the whole concept just feels creatively limiting. these are just different continuities and should be treated as such. there being a certain way a story should be written and having to warn people if u stray to far away from that story and getting yelled at if u dont is what i mean! do u see the issue here am i making sense

itty bitty little northeast hcs bc the asks r dry :(((

they are NOT fun cool life of the party they are SAD GAY LOSERS i do feel this should be broadcast on national tv to confirm the canonness.

that being said. one family dinner with them is actually illegal under the geneva convention due to high level of mental torture.

things start off lovely. they go to maine's little cabin-in-the-woods (STEPHEN KING MY FRIENDS, ITS NOT COTTAGE VIBES!). he will make you wait outside if you are late. he locks the doors and laughs.

unfortuantely, they will not be within five feet of each other during baseball season, under a rule so important gov considers adding it to the constitution.

it is like a grandpa convention lets not lie to ourselves bc there's definitely a part in the night where they just reminisce about the war and vermont will show up with printed-out pictures of some battle monument model he made bc even maine's terrible signal wont stop him.

they have to get new york there by physical force, bc he is doing his level best to sneak his way out. sorry its shabbat (it's actually a tuesday). sorry lost my voice can't come (he's only over said 10 words max). sorry been hit by a car (typa guy to genuinely try and walk off a broken leg).

they have to battle not to bring up politics ooohhh because you know mass's eye is twitching at the thought of being able to debate. connecticut threatens to report him to the authorities as a communist threat. he threatens to throw him through the wall. this is normal sibling behaviour.

typa emotional repression where they'll just be arguing and bickering as normal when one of them will drop the most gut-wrenching sickening personal lore and they all will just refuse to mention it.

oooooohhh yk its got a kick to it when ur sat across from someone who literally took bllets for you telling you ab how life is collapsing around them. anyways new hammy made a salad w craisins and we better switch the topic to that.

speaking of. half of the food is completely inedible. rhode island spent so many years a pirate he has no idea how much salt is too much salt. you CAN eat delaware's food but also be aware he's known for chemical manufacturing so its a 50/50 chance you'll make it.

jersey and york, arguably the only two good cooks, are not allowed to bring food bc they unfortunately suffer from chronic cant-understand-our-families-r-from-different-italian-regions-and-food-might-be-different syndrome.

for some inexplicable reason PA becomes group DJ. the only songs on his phone are 'brand new city' by mitski and 'dont stop the party' by pitbull.

its time for more headcanons yippeeee

this is kwazii if you couldn't tell

I forgot to make his eye green but we can imagine

also I think his hair would be more red but I couldn't find the right colour

anyway no one cares so here are the headcanons:

early-mid 20's

trans ftm

he/him

he is possibly the gayest person to ever exist

he has heterochromia, the covered eye is brown and the other is green

bright red hair that's always messy

so many freckles

ADHD and dyslexia - he loves to complain about how things are spelled

wears whatever he finds of his floor

he is convinced he can handle spicy things but he really cant

he is definitely lactose intolerant but refuses to admit it and eats dairy anyway

has really bad gender dysphoria and tweak is king when it comes to helping him with it

he definitely purrs like a real cat but you can only hear it if you're really close to him

everyone in the crew knows his deadname but they're all very careful to never call him that

forgets everyone's birthdays every year

he lives by the 5 second rule and eats shit off the floor

^^^tweak once paid him to lick sugar that shellington spilt on the floor (he did it)

he definitely uses all the hot water and everyone hates him for it

he gets attached to things very easily and has a hard time getting rid of anything even if its just a pretty shell or something

^^^he keeps all his random stuff in the treasure chest next to his bed and adds to it constantly

he sometimes sneaks into barnacles' room to play with his model ships

he didn't come out for ages. when he first joined the crew he had no medical files bc of his backstory (I'm not gonna get into that right now, long story short he was an orphan) so peso had to make one and he asked for kwazii's legal name and gender at birth so he was kind of forced to come out, but he came out officially to peso later.

tweak was the first person he told officially and she was so chill about it and helped him make a binder because he was literally using tape before

barnacles seriously tried to be chill about it but kwazii could tell he had questions and he happily answered them

he was terrified to tell inkling because old people old mindset but when he did tell him, inkling was so supportive and kwazii cried

as well as arachnophobia he's also scared of needles but he doesn't tell anyone

barnacles is his dad and his best friend at the same time

peso is his little brother and his best friend at the same time

he has mild ptsd from something in his childhood. it doesn't affect him that much but dashi has more severe ptsd and she helps him through it

he LOVES hanging out with dashi and tweak and they love hanging out with him

he is always included in boys night but is also accepted into girls night because if he annoys tweak enough she gives him a tool and he can break stuff

one Christmas the crew had saved up their money all year and payed for his top surgery. tweak secretly got a job doing online stuff for her family friend and payed over half of the cost. kwazii cried and hugged her which she loved but hated at the same time

he's English but the accent mixed with the pirate voice makes it come out australian

he's not allowed catnip for obvious reasons

he hates when people gender clothes but he will not under any circumstances wear a dress

tominnow is also trans (mtf) and they're besties

he hates that creatures are scared of him because he's a pirate and has even considered giving up being a pirate because of it, but he realised its a part of his identity and he didn't want to change it

he loves making bracelets for the crew and everyone wears them sometimes, but barnacles wears multiple every day

dashi crochets and kwazii steal her yarn balls and she gets super pissed at him

he loves calico jack more than he lets on and he misses him constantly. every time he visits kwazii dreads when he leaves

he definitely plays 2048 cupcakes

tweak is his comfort person but he often goes to barnacles as well

maybe I should write a fanfic of kwazii coming out to everyone that would actually be fun

anyway that's all for now I will hopefully be back with some peso hcs tomorrow

I am incredibly exited to announce that this year i will be taking part the @mlbigbang

For this Event i have been partnered with the absolutely amazing @asti-doodles (you will get a sneak peek of the art down below the story fragment)

The first chapter will drop on January 5th (that means you'll get to read mine and @mysticraven20s Story on the same day!)

Now to the story: The summary :

Crown-Prince Adrien has just escaped from the more than Six years of confinement he was forced into after his mothers death. And He's really not too keen on his father sitting on his throne, ruling over his people (and doing quite the bad Job). So instead of having a calm few weeks with his aunt, as was the original plan he escapes to the nearest Town and makes contract with the revolutionary cell there. Soon he is brought before their leader, a fierce woman known only as "the Lady". Needless to say he's smitten. Luckily everyone here wants the same thing! Right? Except she keeps going on about this thing called democracy…

Well that`s one way to look at the situation i wonder what the Lady(bug) thinks...?

President ex nihilo Ladybug really only wants one thing, for her people to be free and not starving. Her People of course being everyone without a title. Unfortunately for everyone the government strongly disagrees with her "freedom and not starving" plan and brands her a traitor. Luckily she managed to gather a few like-minded people. And a few not so like-minded People, but at least they all agree on one thing. The king must go. Then the prince shows up on her door. Somewhat surprisingly he also wants to get rid of the king. There`s just one slight problem, she cant get him out of her head.

Now for a sneak peek of chapter one of Sic Semper Regis:

"So you are the -" Adrien tries to project as much authority and confidence as he can. He does not even manage to finish a sentence. 

The rapier (presumably what was used to cut his blindfold earlier) is shoved in his face. A moment later she changes her mind, re-sheathing her rapier, and instead points a gun at him. He is far too close, not to mention the Lady's arm is absolutely steady. Adrien sinks down in the chair, it is less of an attempt to avoid what's about to happen and More of an expression of exhaustion and disappointment in himself. One thing is for certain: 

He is going to die. Coming here was a mistake. 

The Revolutionaries are not his allies, they are a bunch of mindless thugs. Instead of stupidly coming here on his own, he should have just convinced his aunt to move against his father when he had the chance. He made a miscalculation and now he's going to pay the price. 

He gathers his last shreds of bravery. He raises his head and looks - for the first and quite possibly the last time at his captor. 

She (because it must be her) is dressed in simple clothing, certainly not what he would expect from someone calling themselves "the Lady". A simple pair of dark blue pants, a white shirt underneath a dark west. On top of her dark, somehow almost blueish hair, sits a simple cap, it is black. The only thing differentiating her cap from an ordinary one is the single red feather on its left side. The revolutionaries end all of their pamphlets with the same sketch of a feather.

 Desperately he tries to bring his mind back on track, what track? What reason?  he is going to die here, his thoughts are spiraling so needs to change… something. He tries to make out her  facial features but fails to do so, not because of the light in his cell (his soon to be grave) but because his eyes simply slide off of her. 

She's beautiful, his heart sings, stupidly. Well at least I'm going to die with a beautiful woman at my side, he thinks more than a little hysterically. A broken little noise makes its way past his lips. He manages to look into her eyes. They are Blue, so very very blue.

[knightzp]

omg can I hear about your ocs im curious

!!!!! yes of course!!

(im warning you this is gonna be Long bc i cant summarize things aldksk)

okay so first theres zayu. shes actually my dnd character and basically her whole story can be summarized in: shes a demon too good and pure for this world. she is such a lovely person an absolute sweetheart who is always very kind and whose mission in life is just having a humble life trying to help others in need as much as she can. but yeah you read it right. she Is a demon so the people from her homeplace didnt like her personality at all and they ended up kicking her out from hell. however some people thought that was a weak punishment and are now after her to make her pay for her "crimes" (the crime in question being a too good person yeah) so zayu is now travelling around around the world enjoying her life as she had never been able to do before and always moving from place to place to avoid the other demons that are chasing her. also this isnt really relevant to her story but i have to say she is very ourple (light purple skin and dark purple hair 💜)

the other characters i mentioned on that post are from an original story i began writing quite a few years ago and that i never finished..... i havent touched it in soooo long but its the only one og story ive started that i really want to finish some day. it takes place in a medieval royalty fantasy setting where theres a continent with many kingdoms. the main characters are from two of these kingdoms which have quite a close relationship

one of the kingdoms has 3 princes: auron (oldest), crysta (middle) and davel (youngest). given their birth order, auron is the heir of the kingdom so was taught mainly politics and necessary knowledge to rule the kingdom as the next king. crysta was raised to be a leader in the army forces so she is now the captain of the royal knights. and davel being the third child and since his siblings already learnt the main disciplines he was taught how to use magic, which is an ancient power that is quickly disappearing nowadays so there arent many people who can cast magic in this universe

on the other kingdom we have a pair of twins: alrick and lavianna (also shortened as lav or lavi) as the prince and princess. alrick was born first so he has always spent most of his time studying and preparing to be the next king while lavianna has had an easier and less busy life in this aspect

as i said both kingdoms have a very close relationship so both families meet up a lot. davel and lav have been best friends since their early childhood and being both the youngest from their families they had a lot of time to play and spend together. both are easygoing and they have the same age and kinda similar personalities (davel is charismatic and adventurous but also lazy when it comes to his studies and lavi is cheerful active and innovative) so they get along very very well. so well that their parents got the wrong idea and used their good relationship to engage them together in an arranged marriage against their will wanting to strengthen even more the alliance between their kingdoms. none of them like each other romantically but even if theyre shocked at first they let things be bc they arrive to the conclusion they prefer to be married to their best friend than have their parents arrange another marriage with an stranger instead

however! there is someone who isnt quite happy with this announcement and thats alrick. he hasnt had as much time to spend with davel in his life as his sister and he is also much more reserved as a person than her but truth is he is jealous. jealous of davel for all the freedom he has (contrary to him who has many responsibilities) and jealous of lavi for being able to spend so much time with davel and for being now engaged with him. bc alrick has a huge crush in davel but no one knows, not davel (who is very dense to these things (actually arospec coded)) nor lavianna (she is a bit suspicious but doesnt know anything for sure)

as for crysta she has a really close relationship with her brother davel and loves to tease him a lot but she isnt that much close with the others. she is a really cool butch lesbian knight who really worries a lot abt her people and has a soft spot for davel and will do anything to help him in any situation

auron isnt very relevant to the story but well. he is already married and just had a child too and is like the perfect prince son soon to be king

and now to end im gonna just to tell you a bit abt the plot. the thing is that one night alrick wakes up and discovers that everyone in his castle has been petrified. the castle workers his parents even lavianna. all of them except for him. so he does the only thing he can think of and rushes to the neightbour kingdom to ask for help. there, davel crysta and their family talk abt what happened and thought abt a way to reverse what seems to be a magical spell that has petrified the people in the castle and the three of them part on a journey to find more answers and a way to reverse the spell

and well thats more or less it!!!

[astronnova]

response to @imminent-danger-came from this post!!!! thank you for replying mwehehehehehehehehehehe

#DAMN#IT'S TRUE#people need to accept that shadowpeach is a fucked up an' unhealthy ship (that maybe can get better) and that's okay! that's why I like 'em

yes this is SO true so true so true. their dynamic is so warped and bonkers and thats why i loooove it. its about the obsession. its about the guilt. the tragedy. its about the unstoppable force vs immovable object and how they cant stop coming back to eachother. im normal, i swear

#''azure and lbd were kinda the same just different execution'' YEAH. HMMM PARALLELS.

i love parallels i love it when writing does this i love feeling the overarching theme tie into every part of the story i love storytelling

#macaque and azure are also the same with their Wukong abandonment arcs. Foil MK that way. It fucking rules

this too. im a big fan of how bonkers azure and macaque are for wukong and also how mk is so open to subconsciously absorbing others ways of thinking that he just internalizes that too. these guys......... its okay that wukong has other things going on u guys......... its okay.......

#I will say. On one hand yeah oh my fucking god the fandomization of Macaque is so fucking terrible. This post is so right#On the other: I think Wukong very much did abandon macaque first lol#But they abandoned each other (It's why MK and Mei not doing so is 👌👌👌👌👌)

hard agree about the fandomization of macaque, it reeeeeeks. let him be an awful bastard

ok this has me curious! id love to know when wukong abandons macaque first, cause i personally can't think of the time he does that. (i know tone is hard to come across via text so i want to make it clear im being 100% genuine here).

based on all the time we know wukong left macaque, he always came back to him and his intentions for leaving were to protect macaque and the monkeys on flower fruit mountain. when he left to train with subodhi, he came back after his training. we also never see macaque show any disdain for this or claim that was wukong abandoning him with the action.

then, wukong goes to the celestial realm and works as the stable boy before he gets super drunk and petty and then goes back to flower fruit mountain. macaque never shows any anger over this either, so i don't think that's abandonment.

after, wukong and the brotherhood attack the celestial realm and wukong is captured and put into the furnace and then forced under the mountain. i don't think wukong's capture counts as abandonment, especially since wukong makes it super clear that he does not want to be under that rock.

originally i thought macaque didn't know about wukong's capture like azure and the others, which could be a reasonable conclusion for him to come to; that wukong abandoned him for the celestials, but we know that macaque knows wukong was captured. macaque even visits him under the mountain. that's when macaque severs their ties and leaves wukong trapped.

also yes........ yes..!!! mk & mei are the wukong & macaque narrative parallels.... i love storytelling

#And I think like. Why should Macaque have to bail Wukong out and put himself in danger with all of heaven because of what Wukong chose to do

its less about "macaque having to bail wukong out and indanger himself over wukong's problems" but more of like, wukong and macaque did the exact same thing, which was attacking the celestial realm. that's why wukong got caught. it's not just macaque, azure, peng, bull king and yellowtusk have some sort of moral responsibility in a way to at least try to help wukong, because all of their combined actions led to wukong taking the punishment for all of them.

i mean, sure, macaque has no reason or responsibility to bail wukong out if you look at it from that scene alone, with the "you dont owe anyone anything" mindset. but considering the other things we know, like how macaque was apart of the attack and supported wukong and fought along side him, there's a bit of a moral obligation to help wukong out since macaque's apart of the reason why wukong was captured.

#This post almost has the opposite problem of ''Wukong is villainzied while Macaque is a baby boy'' like#Wukong wasn't a good person either (they both suck(ed))#But he changed

HAHA lol sorry, that wasnt my intent. i want to make it clear that yeah, wukong wasnt a good person either! but i think the major distinction is that he wasnt a good person, past tense. in the show currently, wukong's a pretty alright guy, and the journey to the west helped him grow into a better person. i jsut feel it isn't necessary to mention wukong's terrible traits from the past because they arent... relevant to him in the current tense. that, along with the fact that the fandom keeps bringing it up, im focused more on mentioning macaque's terrible actions instead of wukong's because macaque is still acting that way while wukong grew as a person hundreds of years before canon. no reason to mention the terrible past of someone who's already made up for it, that kind of thing.

and your right! he changed, and thats good! my main point is that macaque didnt, but the fandom loves to act like he did.

#''We can't change who we were yesterday or in a past life or a hundred lifetimes ago! We live with the choices we've made for what-#-matters is the choices we make right now!''#Like yeah obviously Macaque was biased. (He says so himself: ''Everyone is the hero of their own story'')

yep ^

#But Macaque also steps in in s2 because Wukong LITERALLY abandoned MK chasing after another source of power.

i feel like thats a misinterpretation of season 2 and wukong's actions, because the reason wukong "abandons" mk is to keep mk out of danger. wukong's objective is to find a way to defeat the lady bone demon without having to drag mk into it, because he feels mk isn't ready for that kind of large battle yet. he isn't leaving mk behind to go look for more power for himself, he's leaving mk in a safe place while he goes to deal with the main threat to keep mk from getting involved. he isn't quick enough, but the point still stands.

macaque steps in and even admits in the shadow play episode that he only came by to torture mk for fun ("i was gonna do the whole watch the hero be tormented by their own mistakes thing..." is what he says, which is funny because that's really relevant to wukong's character too haha).

#SWK is making the same mistake he always has. And then MK in s2 is ALSO making that same mistake#And Macaque had to be a loser about it but it is very interesting to see it from his pov.#He steps in when MK is acting that little bit too much like Wukong in all the wrong ways. (2x07 4x09)

and you've got a point! wukong has a habit of shouldering everything himself and believing he has to be the one to fix everything, since he has the most abilities and powers out of everyone... *gestures vaguely* alive, lol. that's why he keeps secrets throughout s2-3, because the way he deals with large scale threats is by keeping his cards close to his chest. given his past, i don't blame him

so true, too, cause mk's going down that path of self isolation like wukong has already done. mk's trying to spare his friends from his "burdens" (his trauma with lbd in s2 and his trauma from azure lion and the scroll in s4) and by doing so he shuts down and keeps to himself. macaque interprets this as him "abandoning his friends", but that's because macaque's a projector LOL. we already know he does that constantly. i find it interesting too, cause macaque is somehow the most empathetic person in the cast but uses that as a way to drag people down to his level, its rlly fun. i like macaque a lot

i'll be real, i don't think macaque steps in because he genuinely wants to help mk, it's more like he sees mk (season 2 specifically here) as a smaller, weaker wukong that he can actually punch around. he knows if he tried to mess with the real wukong he'd get his ass handed to him, so he goes for the easier target. in season 4, his perspective is different but it still isn't 100% in mk's favor. and also imma be real his advice was butt booty dog water bHKBHADBHKAHAH

side note that im not able to articulate that well because its late but it moderately fits this topic: macaque uses shadow play as partially a way to continue placing doubt in mk's mind about wukong. macaque has a vendetta, and so he thinks everyone else should hate wukong too, no matter how wukong acts now. macaque practically refuses to accept wukong's changed because that would mean macaque would have to self reflect and realize that he isnt all that like he acts like he is. he's very self righteous and tries to put down mk while also placing doubt and manipulating mk into disliking and not trusting wukong. he does this like every chance he gets in season 3, also

#But maybe I think in general that ''antagonist'' is a better word to describe macaque rather than villain

sure! i can agree, mostly s4 and up, but in s1-3 he fits the bill for villain too, imo

#Anyways me on team ''Wukong and Macaque both hurt each other in equally fucked up ways'': my totally unbiased imp opinion#''Wukong was on a path of self-destruction. We all were.''#MY PERSONAL INTERPRETATION: MK is to Macaque what the Monk was to Wukong.

oh yeah i agree, wukong and macaque are such a tragic duo because of all those centuries of baggage, and they've hurt eachother so much intentionally and unintentionally. its great, i love it

"wukong was on a path of self-destruction. we all were" that phrase caught my attention big time because up until those point macaque had like no remorse for anything he'd done, so it was super interesting having him say that to mk. i was like. what da hell, macaque redemption arc REAL!?!??!?!?! im interested to see where they take macaque! he's the most likely to get that redemption tbh he's got all the flags

also i think that's a pretty cool way to look at it, and i def see what you mean. mk's good nature and desire to help rubbing off on macaque when wukong's couldn't is a very cool way to look at things, and also it slots into canon very nicely. macaque won't listen to wukong, mainly because they're so connected and all those centuries of baggage (six eared "i want the old wukong back and i also blame him for everything that goes wrong" macaque), but having someone new who also has some stake in their lives (wukongs successor) be the one to tell him Stop Being Weird and having it work, its very interesting.

#LMK is very much a show about everyone dealing with the world in their own way.#Some open noodle shops. Some try to create a clean slate. Others want to leave the world better than they found it#And Macaque was very much just in survival mode trying not to die while also trying to get back at Wukong#''Look out for number one'' like that's how he coped with the world/how he saw it.#And MK kind of up-ended that point of view. 3x10 was THE time to abandon Mei yet MK refused to

so true! lego monkie kid's s1-3 message of the world being fine just the way it is because there's good people in it is what made me fall in love with the series at first. and also how it shows how people live their lives and keep moving despite the hardships of the world is very nice. me like. and yeah! macaque's "look out for number one" mentality is very nice and i like how that fits into his and wukongs characters. its very night and day (HA get it). wukong tries to look out for everyone else while macaque is only interested in looking out for himself. its cool , i like that. especially because it relates back to their original versions in the original story, where macaque represents the dark desires of the mind like his selfishness and spitefulness and wukong kills him as a sign of overcoming those desires and instead choosing the path towards enlightenment and doing good for others and the world.

macaque has a habit of forming full opinions and thoughts on people without properly knowing them and then sticking to those thoughts for the rest of time, not considering their ability to grow and change. mk constantly makes him have to come to terms with the fact that he is wrong and its so awesome. especially because we all know daaamn well that he saw himself in the "mei is my best friend, im not going to leave her when she needs me!" moment. its really good

#So strange to me people think they can't like villains. I'm assuming it's more than just the kids/teens in the fandom

yeah its super wild. a lot of ppl (esp in this fandom, i havent seen it this bad since like voltron i think and i wasnt even apart of that fandom) believe that to like a villain there has to be some reason why the character is secretly "the good guy" or something, because if they like a straight up bad guy then it means theyre a bad person, when in reality its just relating to the conflicts that those "bad guys" represent and stuff. idk its wild out here i have never seen people jump through so many hoops to justify why they like a villain. they dont have to be secret good people, they can be bad and you can like them because of that. like, one of my fav characters from modern cartoons is emperor belos from the owl house and that guy is like basically pure evil LOL

i'll answer your other tags tomorrow! i am very tired and it is past midnight for me. snoozing at my desk, almost

"You know i just cant understand how you don't get mad seeing your kingdom, I understand now that as a reformer as a fighter a general, whatever. I am different to you, how you see sinners, hellborn, goetia, etc. we are not the same. I do not judge or hate you for it. however I cannot understand how a man like myself sits in this castle looks upon his kingdom through his balcony and does nothing."

"You could rule as a dictator an absolute monarchy, rule with an iron fist, turn the place into a madhouse with you at the top, ANYTHING. but you don't. You don't get angry at least from what I've seen of heavens yearly attacks you arent angry at the fellow icons for bringing the kingdom to a decaying standstill. I can understand that your rebellion wasn't like mine, mine being an actual psychical revolution if you will. but how do you not sit here and grow angrier and angrier at what your kingdom is becoming."

"you are a king. the apex of your kingdom if you say that your kingdom will become this, it will follow, if it refuses it is your right to lead legions to force it that way. Make me understand how one can be strong HELL YOU CAN TURN INTO A FUCKING POWERFUL DRAGON NIGHTMARISH MONSTER. make me understand it."

Comparing always comparing he could never escape it could he, not in heaven everyone comparing him to his twin and now not even here in hell , fuck even his other alternate selves were comparing him to them .

A low growl left him, claws digging into the throne he was sitting on, for a minute something crossed his face .. something ancient and sinister— before it disappeared quickly .

He took a deep breath trying to collect himself . “Just cause I don’t look angry doesn’t mean I’m not angry ..” he spat.

“Trust me I’m angry but I also care about my family ..” he sighed a bit of fire leaving his mouth.

“I don’t know what’s like for you .. but have you ever met a being called Roo, or Root of all evil, I did , I met her when I was young and stupid and blinded by heaven . We were supposed to create a new better realm for humans .. but it was a lie .. “ he chuckled .

“She’s the reason I can’t .. I can’t get too angry if she has control— nowhere will be safe and I rather let this kingdom go to ruin then hurt my daughter ..I already drove Lilith away I refuse it let her take Charlie from me too”

“I’m doing what I can in the boundaries I’m stuck in so so sorry to be a disappointment to myself now which really isn’t a new concept for me.. “ he said sarcastically .

dd went ringwraith and now we cant find him. im seer of might with a thief of space, maid of light, and page of time.

I'm rolling on the floor. There's absolutely zero context or explanation being given. I think the implication is that he went into hiding, but "and now we can't find him" makes me imagine you somehow lost track of him and he despawned. I choose to believe this happened for simplicity's sake, and because it's hilarious.

Either way, when the Draconian Dignitary gets his hands on the ring, he typically just hands it off to Jack Noir, who then becomes the Sovereign Slayer. If Jack Noir is dead, or otherwise unfit for rulership (through injury or incompetence), DD will wear the ring instead and become the Destructing Duke. This is actually a fairly low-boil Ringwraith scenario. He doesn't typically go on a rampage, he just assumes rulership of Derse and rules indirectly. The good news is that he doesn't typically step in and begin killing people. The bad news is that he's something of a mastermind. Assassination attempts will increase, he might even send saboteurs to mess with your dwelling spire and its infrastructure, not to mention war will be waged on your consorts. Derse Dreamselves won't be stabbed in their sleep, but they will wake up in jail. And if you force him to get off his seat, he'll salt the land. Basically, imagine an entity with the Black King's statistical strength, the Black Queen's guile and network of assets, that has the will to use both of them.

However, this is assuming DD actually did assume the mantle of Destructing Duke. You said you can't find him, so he's either locked up in some secret base from which he can rule safely, or something happened and he's gone. Did you actually search the Incipisphere for him (he should be in Derse), and did you perhaps prototype any items prone to bugs or "vanishing" behavior? In any case, it seems like at least half of your team should be outfitted with abilitechs that would make searching for a powerful Ringwraith easy. If you can't find him, and there's otherwise no evidence of his activity (strange events, increased competency and activity of Derse agents), then you probably don't have to worry too much about it. Either he and the Ring show up later, in which case act accordingly, or they won't.

AAAAAA MAD MAD MAD

I cant stand my school anymore

They are the most bigoted, blantatly biased with dumbass rules group of people that i ever saw

Some of them are just straight up abuse of their power

One time when one of the inspectors was mad at the student, he grabbed him by the neck and assaulted him for no reason other than to gratify his own fragile masculinity

I can't stand not having big hair. Big hair is good is nice but noooooooo you are enjoying yourself too much buddy you will need to shave it all off.

I just want a lenght of hair that won't make me want to kill myself is that too much to ask?! Really?

This dumbass school is so weird on hair too because girls can have dye red hair but boys cant have any. I am not throwing shade at the girls good for you and your hair but why the fuck is it exclusive huh? What was the reason for doing this? Were they so far up their own ass that they don't realize that their rules make no sense and they can do something about it but choose not to.

I'm just tired. I'm tired of being told that it is ending. Tired of being told to hold on my anger because i have been doing that my whole life and i can't fucking bother anymore. I am agressive because people force me to be by taking away my personal freedom on what to do with my body.

It is tiring to hear the same fucking excuses to these type of people. "Theres a different regulation to curly hair to straight and the regulation for curly is stricter" whyyyy do you think that could be huh? What would possibly the biggest reason for a system to pick on people who have natural curly hair huh? Guess we will never find outttt(ironic)

Fuck everyone who says it is what it is. No it doesn't have to be. These oppressive systems that MAKES SO TEENS, THE PART OF YOUR LIFE THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO EXPERIMENT WITH YOURSELF AND YOU DELIMIT THEIR FREEDOM BECAUSE YOU WANT PEOPLE TO SUPPORT A GENOCIDAL RICH GUY WHO WAS OUR PRESIDENT? ARE YOU FU KING SERIOUS.

I cant stand it anymore. I need a dramatic change in my life or i am going to explode. Like maybe go to my partners' country and never contact my family ever again. A bunch of plushies would help too. Or a fighting game stick. Anyone of these would help.

Sonja listened to her, her head canted to the side. For a moment her gaze seemed to be far away, as memories of Viktor arose unbidden. She had loved her father, respected him once. But it still had proven necessary for him to die, to end the quiet war in the Carpathian mountains few outside their borders were privy to. So the Elder had been killed, slain by her own hand. And she had governed the covens ever since, the humans called her Queen, a title she didn't bother to rebuke. It was the closest to what they meant for the title of Elder.

"When family goes mad, it is difficult. Having to set aside your feelings for them, to do what duty demands....it is no easy task ahead for Arthur, should it come to that. But if she is lost to madness, it is....unlikely that captivity while undergoing healing will do much good." The regret in her voice was clear, she had learned from her past and would counsel against committing the same mistake she had.

The kingdoms of old tale gone did not surprise her, she'd seen the rise and fall of similar kingdoms before. The King of Cornwall, she wagered was trying to wait out to see which side would be the winning one, and join his allegiance late. Else he would have chosen a side already. In the past, the Corvinus clans remained wholly neutral to wars that happened outside their borders. Though that was largely due to her father's rule in the past, then later her having to fix problems of her lands inherited from her father. Few who wandered in ever left, whether they claimed sanctuary or became a hungry creatures dinner.....refuge was allowed to any that were brave enough and strong enough to reach one of the coven settlements. But this war was different, it would change much at its end. In a pragmatic sense, she had no interest in seeing her people slain and her homelands taken by a madwoman.

"Some men, will always have to learn by sheer force. You can lead the warhorse to a water trough, but you cannot make it drink from it. Kings such as that, will only learn the hard way. I have seen his type many times of the centuries." Sonja rose from her seat with grace, stoking the fire a little more to warm the room better for her guest. She also paused to retrieve from her own wardrobe, a heavy woollen cloak lined with fur from the wolves of the region. The clothes Queen Kahlan wore were a valiant effort against the cold, but not as thorough as the garments made in her lands. The vampiress draped the cloak over her lap, letting the woman decide to use it as a blanket or clasp the cloak about her person.

She resettled in her seat, humming thoughtfully as she listened to her. "The 'Old Ways' and Pagan beliefs as you call them, are all that has ever been known in my homelands. Perhaps yes, due to the long lives of its inhabitants, and the dutiful work of our scholar Tannis as he archives most events through time. You might want to pay a visit to the library and its archives, there is information there that I believe your kingdoms call lost to time, safe within these stone walls."

She knows the weight of expectation that follows Kahlan, its one she has felt on her own shoulders many times. Sonja knew that if King Arthur had sent another in Kahlan's place, she would have welcomed them--but not been as forthright as she was being with the other woman. Outside her borders it was a world regarded to belong to Man, the equality enjoyed in her kingdom she doubted was a ideal seen much outside.

"It is difficult, to balance expectation with legend. The title of Elder, King or queen is your equivalent for it. Before me there were three. Markus, Amelia, and Viktor. Viktor was my father, and ruled with tyrannical cruelty. For a time, it was necessary in the early years of the land. But....time drove him paranoid then mad. I had to take his place, and paid the blood price for it. Markus and Amelia, they yet live, but are custodians of their own covens further out in my lands. I still feel judged and left wanting by them at times, if I am honest. I have kept watch over the other kingdoms, and I would say that they are blessed to have you as both Seeker and Queen. You lead fairly, and preserve your peoples culture and practices but allow them to follow belief systems that differ. You do not take your position for granted, birthright or not, and that makes all the difference."

Sonja knew her decision was made, she would help them, sign treaty papers and have the army of deathdealers sent out to drive back the saxons and Morgana's forces. Morgana instilled fear, she would be all to happy to remind the other why it was the dark was feared.

"Then it is settled, my forces will lay low during the day, and strike during the night. Any drunken fool will be swiftly dealt with, and it will not take long to drive them back with fear of the night." She hummed for a moment, pondering if Markus would be convinced to have the lycans fight during the day. "I can promise protection and lethal force at night, during the day....I would have to convene with the leader of the lycans and see if they were willing to participate and provide aid. They live in my lands, but I do not govern them. My father enslaved them, I put an end to that and let them live freely without interference." Sonja doubted that Lucian would object, she knew he'd follow her regardless, but it was a card she'd play close to her chest. New allies didn't mean she'd reveal the connection just yet, even if the other woman had her respect.

AMATA WAS SOUTH IN THE ALBION MAINLAND. It was sea locked on two sides. Her Navy had blocked the Saxons from the North. They had nowhere to run and nowhere to get reinforcements. She prided herself on that notion, the knowledge that it could easily sway anyone to their cause. "I fear she doesn't have the sea on her side, and her Saxon invaders are cut off from help from their motherland. My navy made sure of it. We hold that ground, as does Annis navy also." That truth alone made her smile slightly to herself. It was a matter of time until Morgana learned about the blockade.

The Queen was grateful about having the maps so she could travel safely. This area of the midland, she was not too aware of what lurked. It had been off limits as a child, and it was tales of creatures lurking in wait that did not allow just anyone to travel through the ice lands. The mountain ranges alone were impressive. She had never seen a sight in her life. Amnell had soaked in the view of the mountain caps and the cold, crisp air. Despite the fear of the vampires, she felt like she could stay there forever. "She was wronged, but it's not Arthur's doing. He tried to help her before he took Camelot from his father. She was too far gone by then. Her hatred ran too thick. It makes me sad to see what is left of the priestesses of old, if she represents them."

Nodding, she put aside the wine once more and looked into the flames. "Amata is more than open to such ideals, and so is Camelot. I know Annis kingdom would be on board. The old Five Kingdoms is nothing but a tale now gone. Arthur made sure anyone that supported Uther was not aligned with Camelot. I am afraid the King of Cornwall is going to learn the hard way if he doesn't see the errors in his ways." Looking over, she gauged her for a moment before looking away. Leaning into her chair, she had made sure to have dressed for the cold. Kahlan's breath could be seen every time she exhaled.

"I feel the same way honestly. The spirits of my people linger. They speak to the ways of the old and they all say that peace is needed before ruin comes. Pagan beliefs are none too different from my own. I've seen what the Triple Goddess is capable. I was supposedly a daughter of prophecy, being the Seeker. Such is a heavy burden, but I take the mantle trying to do my best to maintain was is just and true. I would hate to see either of our peoples burn because of Morgana. Differences aside, I don't wish that fate of anyone." Seeing as the leader got up herself to tend to the fire, she couldn't help the respect she felt from her. It was mutual and that she was very thankful of.

Adjusting the fur on her shoulders, she made sure her long coat was still against her to ward the cold out. "That would work in our favor since majority of their attacks are during the day. They sleep or get drunk most nights. It's the only reprieve we get from the constant attacks." Her fingers went into the sleeves of her coat. So she could give her hands a break. The gloves were a gift from Arthur and were fur lined. Even with them, they grew cold after awhile. "I try to be. I only heard stories of the Seeker when I was a child. Every Seeker had been male up until me and its been over a hundred years since the last one. I don't know sometimes if I am deserving of such honor, but take it gratefully."

Yanderes with a blind reader

thanks for requesting anon!

i hope this is what you were looking for and hope you enjoy!

18+ mdni

asks/requests are still open!

------------------------------------------------------

karma:

karma would be a lot more protective with a blind darling

he would be the type to keep and extra eye on them

and make sure that they're always comfortable whether they're in public or in private

he's also the type to glare at people who make rude comments about darling because they are blind

and if they came up to you and tried to make you feel bad, he would verbally berate them

which is strange because karma doesn't speak a lot

God help whoever dares to lay a hand on you tho

they will be wiped off the face of the earth.

karma is definitely more gentle with a blind darling

especially if they have a history of people bullying/being mean to them.

even tho karma isnt one to be touchy or talkative, he'd let darling touch him a lot and he'd speak a lot

so they can know and really enjoy his presence.

(he also has this super secret fantasy where darling touches his face very sensually while trying to feel his facial features.)

if darling's vision can be corrected via surgery and darling is willing to pursue that route, karma will be 100% willing to foot the bill.

bhodi:

i think bhodi would really appreciate a blind darling

cause he would love that someone liked him for him

rather than his conventionally attractive looks

it really boosts his self esteem

bhodi would become more possessive tho

because darling fell for him bc of his personality and his voice

he wouldn't want anyone to take them away from him

(this is also partly because bhodi has self-esteem issues and doesn't think he's good enough for darling)

that being said,

bhodi would probably turn up his clinginess and stalking from 90% to 200%

he'd try and follow you everywhere (even into the bathroom if he can)

and he avoids leaving you alone with anyone else

he might even force you to quit your job and lock you away in his home

he tells you its ''for your own good'' and that ''the outside world is dangerous''

he just loves you too much to lose you darling

and he doesn't mind utilising your vision as a reason to keep you all to himself forever.

memory:

memory is curious

he hasnt really interacted a lot with humans, due to the fact that he cant cope with their stench

and he's in a little bit of awe when he realises that you cant see.

he's definitely the most gentle with darling out of all of the yanderes

and he is a lot more caring

he will aggressively defend you when his father says something rude about your inability to see

and he most definitely doesn't mind murdering anyone that deems you 'unworthy' or calls you rude names.

he will try to find methods to cure your vision problems

because being blind in a royal court is very dangerous

especially due to the fact that you're the mate and going to be the ruling partner of the next kings

people would attempt to hurt darling

and since memory is pretty good with inventions and science, he'll work something out

and if all else fails, then he'll turn you into a vampire asap

it may not make your vision perfect

but it will make darling's vision at least 70% better

darling would have to wear glasses at most.

max:

max is a little demon.

so dont be surprised if he lies to darling about things going on in the palace that they cant see

he'll be a little bit like bhodi

in the sense where he'll use darling's inability to see properly to increase their fear

then he'll utilise that fear to make darling dependent on him.

from lying about attacks, to telling fibs that they were almost assassinated-

max will do anything to keep himself in control.

he just wants to be wanted by darling.

he just has a terrible approach to it.

(he may also use his lies to trick darling into sleeping with him)

on the other hand, max isnt all bad

when darling eventually falls in love with him, he will be more open to them

he lies less and less

and he will be more vulnerable to them

he will feel a sense of closeness, because (like bhodi) someone that he calls his loves him for him.

he will kill whoever says anything rude about darling and their sight

doesn't matter if its his parents or a maid or a member of the court.

they're dead.

when darling gets part of their vision back after being turned, max becomes more protective

tho he's a manipulative ass and secretly a softboy, he doesn't want any harm to come to darling

no one is allowed to see them unless he or memory are there.

and he also always carries a spare of darling's glasses in case anything happens to the pair that they wear regularly.

When it comes to choice or illusions of choice with Rhaenyra, I am very conflicted because she is in this political shitstorm and etc because of her own bad choices. But a sametime the one who enabled her (Viserys) allowed to is to happen and should have stop this a long time ago. So I’m stuck between Rhaenyea made her own bad and her father utterly failed her as parent and King. So bit of both.

yeah i feel like the truth that she harmed her own cause by being politically inept, and that it was her fathers fault, as well as the idea she had no real choice can all sort of co-exist?

she is politically a total mess, no doubt about that. you can easily argue that was the root of her spectacular downfall and i would agree she allowed for the extent of the bloodshed with her poor decisions. but its also true that she would have faced opposition and derision either way. and thats the point of the story.

i get so annoyed with her over her decisions because she does undermine herself, but ultimately otto and the rest were attempting to take that crown either way. and though i think she could have won the crown back if she'd been a better political agent... that doesnt mean her choices werent somewhat illusions; we see this in alicent - being the very antithesis of rhaenyra doesnt work either. the world still would have torn into her somehow like it does alicent for being everything that rhaenyra isnt.

its the whole madonna/whore thing. women are shamed for sex. or shamed for not having it. shamed for their interests. or for not having any. shamed for engaging. shamed if they dont. you can only ever be one of two things, and whichever you choose you cant win. i'd argue that rhaenyra would have been demonised by history even if she were the best possible ruler just for displaying attributes necessary in a monarch, but considered ugly in a woman. she would have been held to an impossible standard.

so would rhaenyra's story have ended well if she'd been all duty and sacrifice instead? probably not imo. i think the result would have been less bloody but who knows by how much. eventually the nature of the world would have caught up to her in some way. one particularly bad misstep and she could have seen rebellion or the like (one reason alicents fears for her sons are valid - they would have been a rallying point for inevitable dissenters and rhaenyra/her supporters might have felt it necessary to remove them as figureheads). and this is such a double standard because with Viserys (who has a very similar attitude to ruling) everyone just let him do as he pleased, the lords were happy to make things easy for him, and there were no consequences for that he experienced personally. (think of how men get to move on from whatever public scandal they were part of whilst the women are forced to lie in the festering remnants for the rest of their natural lives. we all know its true.)

thats what i mean about the illusion of choice - i will continue to point out how stupid some of rhaenyras decisions were because i think they led to the bloodiest possible outcome, but she really was set up to fail in many ways. she could never truly win, no matter her choices.
