Belly of the Beast

Huge armored Kingsguard drug you beneath the bowels of Maegor’s labyrinthian complex, your feet dragging along the ground. You’d ceased fighting two layers ago. Tyanna of the tower glared down at you, raven hair almost shining in the gloomy light. She was clad in a deep purple satin dress, pale face pinched. The rumored sorceress hummed, “You’ll do fine. We need an heir. Stop fighting it, I see it in those bovine eyes of yours.”

You whimpered in pain, feet and shins ragged from the rough treatment. Maegor was no where to be seen. You had only see him on your wedding night, the beast splitting you open and depositing his seed before leaving. When it appeared your womb had not quickened, the guards had seized you in the night. Which led to now. Something sinister curling in the air, the dark glow of the lanterns casting the halls in a murky bloody tint.

Tyanna took a left, disappearing. The guards dragged you onwards, pulling you into a rounded room. Your heart beat wildly with terror. What was this place? It reminded you of the paintings of old Valyria. Oily black stone fused by horrid magicks into bestial creatures. Tall columns twirled with blood wyrms, casting their evil gaze upon you. You cried out in fear, but your mouth was covered with thick bound rope, irritating and dry.

In the middle of the room lay an elongated stone plinth, blood smeared in unreadable lettering. Maegor waited like a hungry lion, huge muscles rippling with every movement. You could see his purple eyes dragging along your bound frame, obscene cock twitching at the site. He boomed, “Put her on the table.”

You stopped struggling again in a state of shock. You weren’t sure if they were going to kill you. Ser Darklyn and Bracken hauled you upright, placing your body on the bloody slab. Maegor shooed them off, locking each of your limbs in some sort of mechanism. He thumbed one of your teats, growling, “Such a fertile body, we’ll get a heir my littlest queen.” You gazed up at the gnarled ceiling, depicting unspeakable things and creatures. You whimpered softly as Maegor undid your gag, rumbling, “There, now they can hear your delightful crying.”

There was a balcony and there stood the dowager Queen Visenya and Tyanna. Visenya’s face was hardened, her hands covered in more blood. She called down, “Do not be afraid girl, this is a new beginning. You will give Maegor the dragon we so desperately need. Think of it as a gift.”

You nodded yes but your mind howled and tore itself apart at the seams. This was not a gift. This was an abomination. You thought of home, the seaside and the barking seals. Not this perverted facsimile of a sept. Visenya barked, “Give her the draught, my king.”

“With pleasure”, he smirked. The beast of a man stalked back to your side, a hand twice the size of your head caressing back your sweaty hair. He murmured, “Open up, you might be my true queen.” You did as so, opening your lips and drinking the thick liquid. It tasted horrid, you fought back a retch before Maegor’s hard lips forced it’s way on top. He smothered you, another huge hand squeezing the soft flesh of your hips.

There was no more you could do as he climbed on top, muscled trunks of thighs splitting yours open, tongue probing your mouth. He grabbed at your hair, biting and sucking roughly down your neck. He murmured, “Close now.” Visenya began to chant in an abnormal sounding tongue of Valyrian. Your skin felt hot to the touch, the glyphs on the walls seeming to glow.

A wave of intense arousal flowed up from your toes to head, making you whine in anguish. The sensation so intense you wrapped your legs around the king’s scarred waist and thrust your profusely leaking cunt up. Locked under the arousal your ego stood trapped, screaming for help. Instead you moaned, “Breed me my king, please, it hurts!” Maegor’s hard set eyes rolled some, his beard scratching your bloodied neck.

He chuckled darkly, “I’ll give it to you little bride of mine, fill that tiny cunt of yours, not waste a gods damned drop.” Pale calloused hands wrapped around your waist, almost encircling you. You bucked underneath him, slick pussy dragging ever so again Maegor’s huge cock. From above, Tyanna and Visenya’s stark faces disappeared as you refocused on him.

Your king, your stud, the one to fill your womb up so you can give him baby after baby. Simply a broodmare for the taking. You arched your full tits against his impossibly built chest, whining at the drag across his body hair. Maegor nuzzled at your collarbones, humming, “It’s so…delightful to watch you squirm. I could break your pretty bones into dust y’know?”

Tears burned at your eyes, the ache between your legs becoming a heady burning. In a warble you begged, “Please, do anything my king, need it, wan’ your cock, pleasepleaseplease!” Openly sobbing now, the brutish king moaned in delight, cock swelling further from your pretty tears and swollen lips. He spanned a hand down your writhing body to land on the base of his cock. Maegor grabbed the Valyrian steel knife and nicked the thin skin of his cock, grunting in annoyance as it began to drip blood.

He tossed the knife callously aside and grabbed your wide hips, shoving his cock in to the hilt. The pair of you cried out, the loud howl echoing in the dim chamber. Maegor growled, “Fucking- fuck! Tight little bride you are, felt ya’ split. Bleeding pretty on my cock.” You weren’t even registering the loss of your maidenhead, hyperfocused on the wonderful feeling of your untouched walls accommodating and stretching for Maegor’s girth. He paused in awe, patting your lower stomach.

Maegor rasped, “Look at this, can see my cock through you. Fucking hell.”

He fucked like the bull they called the king, powerful thrusts sliding you through the tacky blood. Maegor grunted and cursed, muscles flexing and glistening. He panted, “It’ll take, it’ll take, good little girl.” You begged softly, “My arms, my King, please!” In a flurry of movement he unchained you, pulling your smaller frame onto those sinful thighs of his. You rolled onto him like a brothel whore, bouncing and humping, growling and scratching.

He pulled you into a kiss, snarling, “They always said the untouched ones were the hungriest for it,” his hand came down on your ass with a loud crack! Mewling onto his hard lips you embraced the sweet pain, body still on fire with need, need, need. Maegor cursed again and rumbled, unhooking your feet and manhandling you face down on the slab, jerking your ass up into the air.

Your fingers scrabbled as Maegor quickly reentered your pussy, groaning in pleasure. “See, please him, be the bearer of that strong seed,” said your addled mind. The claps of Maegor’s hips echoed against your softer ass, him swiping a hand across with a smarmy look. He cruelly cooed, “Yeah? You like your king stuffing your sweet cunt full of seed? Mmm, when you’re all rounded out I’ll fuck another into you right after. You’re mine.”

“Yours, yours,” you whimpered deliriously.

He pulled you tighter and drug his thick cockhead across a spot you didn’t know existed, eliciting a guttural moan. One big hand locked around your slim throat, the other sneaking to that throbbing bud between your legs. You squealed and squirmed, the nerve endings sparking like wild fire across your used frame.

“No, you take it,” he snarled.

And take it you did, crying and whimpering as your belly tightened and tightened, whole body erupting in goosebumps. Your legs gave out but Maegor kept you aloft moving his huge arm from neck to your tits. In a trembly caterwaul of his name you clamped down on his thick cock and gushed on him and the bloody mess below. Maegor gasped and stuttered, sharp canines locking into your shoulder. His strokes dug deep in shallow, sloppy thrusts.

He practically roared when the load of spend painted your overspent cunt. Load after load while he cooed praise and panted in your ear. The fervor that once gripped you had abated, leaving you a boneless mess, emotions comparable to a husk. Maegor felt around for something then bent you over, shoving in a plug of sorts as soon as his cock exited. He patted your ass and rumbled, “I’m feeling blessed by the Gods today. You shall come wash up with me in my chambers, littlest bride.”

Tyanna was gone.

Visenya called down once more, “Splendid. Let’s hope the seed takes, girl.”

Maegor proudly carried you through the underbelly and up to his quarters in the red keep, showing your mottled, blood soaked body off. You went to somewhere quieter in your mind. A seaside cliff. Salty air. Seals barking. Home.

Questioner: Why or how are the Heralds the only ones we've seen so far that are affected by magical maladies due to either their high Investiture or long lives?

Brandon Sanderson: I would argue the Fused are having the same situation, so they're not the only ones. The why and how... there's a whole host of things going on here. Like a lot of physical and mental illness, it's not one thing or the other. But it is a compound of other things.

One is going so long without certain protections that you kind of need to take. The human being's soul might be immortal, depending on your argument in the cosmere. (That's really up to you.) But they certainly aren't meant for thousands of years of existence, the same way that our bodies aren't. There's some of that.

There's some of the things they've been through. Like, legit trauma; this is not all simply a magical ailment. You've got people with PTSD, layers of PTSD on top of layers of PTSD, for thousands of years, bearing things that no human being without their level of Investiture would even be able to bear. You've got that manifestation, you've got their own sense of guilt.

And these things are all just kind of overlapping together with the fact they've been alive for so, so very long. And a lot of the people that you've seen otherwise have not been alive nearly... orders of magnitude more for the Heralds. The only people you've seen that are that old are: some of the dragons, Hoid, and Vessels of various Shards. And you're basically at that group. And this is a group who knows what they're doing. Either they were built like the dragons, this is part of their innate nature, that they are functionally immortal. Or you are getting the Shards. Or you're getting people that are 300 years old, which is a very different thing, cosmere-wise, than having lived for thousands and thousands of years, part of it being torture.

*SHAKES YOU AGGRESSIVELY*

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR “Zarc is an incarnation of The Supreme King” THEORY I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS YOU HAVE GOT ME HOOKED I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE FIRE TAKES YOU ARE SPITTING OP

Jaden and Yuya are now my favorite dynamic of all time, and now that I’m being shown the similarities I’m wondering if it’s really just a coincidence GX and Arc-V are my absolute favorites out of all the Yugioh series this is insane 👀

Hehe. Gladly <3

(Uh. This got long so it's going beneath the cut for the sake of people's dashboards)

Well, first off, there's just a lot of similarities between Zarc (the original Zarc, before he split into the Yu-bois) and Jaden. Both can talk to duel spirits, both start out chipper and are driven to the edge by grief, both split into various personas/people (Jaden with himself and the supreme king, Zarc obviously into the Yu-bois), both fuse with their ace monster(s), and both carry the title of "Supreme King". Most interesting, to me at least, is how both shape a lot of their identities around what they think people want from them.

Zarc was content to be an amazing duelist, but felt pressured to put on a good show, to be more brutal. Jaden, more subtly, constructs most of his personality off being easygoing, chill, and carefree, because he internalized that his emotions are dangerous, and people would rather deal with happy Jaden than the emotional disregulation mess that he actually is.

And both of them, when they get overwhelmed, adopt a mentality of "Well, the world might as well burn with me."

Jaden, rather than feel his grief, locks off his own trauma behind a brick wall and goes on smiling. Yuya, rather than deal with his dads disappearance, does the same.

I'd also like it noted that supreme king Jaden and supreme king Yuya have yellow eyes.

And some teal/orange eye asymmetry

Honestly, even dragon form Yuya and the Supreme Kings armor have similar silhouettes.

Mostly its in the spikes on the shoulders and elbows, and the fact that Zarc Yuya forms a weird chestplate (and that this is the same art team and visual style)

Another thing I get hung up on is that both Jaden and Yuri have super poly. In GX, Jaden had to go through an entire arc of misery to get that card, and Yuri just? Has it?

So my little headcanon, is that in the original timeline, before the dimensions were split, Zarc had the spirit of The Supreme King, able to command duel monsters and wield The Gentle Dark. Unfortunately for everyone, he got a teensy bit traumatized before he could enact his destiny of defeating The Light Of Destruction. Using his powers, he fused with his dragons, nearly destroyed the world, etc, etc. When he split, the Supreme King couldn't just split into four the same way the rest of his soul could, and so while the dimensions split, the past was rewritten to attach the power to a different soul, with a different guardian to boot. Similar to how the timeline got all borked to set everything back to a late nineties world of duel monsters.

Which would make Yuya 1/4 of an alternate universe version of Jaden. And I think there's a lot of fun to be had with that idea :)

Unleashing Creativity: Top Ways to Generate Unique Fantasy Story Ideas

Photo: Standard License- Adobe Stock

Welcome back,

There's no denying that fantasy has been at the core of some of the most enchanting, daring, and downright unforgettable tales (for one reason or another) that have shaped the literary landscape. Who doesn't love the thrill of journeying to some new adventurous place with otherworldly creatures and epic battles between the forces of dark and light? Personally, I'm all about the dark side. Even for the most seasoned writers sparking the imagination can be difficult. Things like inspiration seem elusive as a dragon hiding in a mist-covered mountain. Today, I will cover a few ideas to find your muse. My muse sometimes hides in a dumpster...so let's find better ways to do this, shall we?

People Watching, with a Twist: Observing people in everyday situations can be a great source of inspiration. Now, add a layer of 'What If?'. What if the barista at your local coffee shop could control elements? What if the older woman feeding pigeons in the park was a retired warrior queen? This exercise allows you to create complex characters with intriguing backstories, ripe for the world of fantasy.

Travel Through Time: History is brimming with periods that, with a little twist, can become fantastic settings for your story. Victorian England's social hierarchies, the Renaissance's scientific innovations, and the fierce battles of Feudal Japan offer fertile ground for fantastical tales. Weave in elements of magic or mythical creatures, and you have an intoxicating cocktail of historical fact and enticing fantasy.

Bioinspiration – Fantasize with Flora and Fauna: The natural world is a veritable treasure trove of inspiration. Let's call this approach 'bioinspiration.' Start by exploring Earth's biodiversity's peculiar traits, behaviors, and survival mechanisms. Why not envision a species that communicates like whales but hunts like a pack of wolves? Or perhaps a plant that blooms under the moonlight and has the power to manipulate time? The possibilities are endless when you fuse the wonder of our world with a dash of fantasy.

Take a Hike (Literally!): When was the last time you truly engaged with the wilderness, the mountains, or the sea? Natural landscapes are rife with potential for fantasy storytelling. As you walk through a dense forest, consider the creatures that might inhabit such a place in a fantasy realm. That murmuring stream could be a water nymph's dwelling, and the wind howling through the canyon might be a dragon's call. Try to visualize your surroundings through the lens of fantasy — you may be surprised at what your imagination conjures up!

Harness the Power of Music: Like music, few things can stir the soul and spark the imagination. A piece of music can evoke many emotions and images depending on its rhythm, melody, and harmony. Try listening to music without lyrics (like classical, orchestral, or ambient music) and let your mind wander. Picture the scenes that the music evokes. Is that tranquil harp melody the song of a peaceful elven village? Does the tumultuous symphony represent the climax of an epic battle? Use these mental images as a springboard for your fantasy narrative.

So there it is, everyone. Five unique ways to draw up some inspiration. Go find your muse!! Probably shouldn't have said mine hides in a dumpster. I'm all about being superstitious, so I'm sure she'll never speak to me again.

Happy Writing,

Indigo Everly

First is does the little one have a name cause my thoughts be that either they (btw I use they/them term for the little one for now) have a name close related to winds or music? And also do venti and eos reader have them during current game timeline or back then cause honestly I do kinda imagine the little baby was there when certain nameless bard.

Please meet Satanael, Barbatos' only son.

"My name is Nemo, though...!"

This little one's true name is Satanael, but you also gave it a mortal name "Nemo", when it was born. Totally not derived from "anemo", and totally not because the orange lines on its outfit reminded you of the clown fish on a certain movie.

That's totally not the case.

The child's pronouns are he/they/it. The child doesn't particularly care much about gender norms. As far as the wisp is concerned, it is simply a "special breeze" born from the union of two deities. At least, that's what Mama told him!

Satanael... or rather, Nemo, was first created 500 years after Venti becomes the archon of freedom and marries you, ascending you to godhood in the process. Created, because you don't possess the reproductive organs that humans have due to being a former elemental monster, unlike Venti, who perfectly replicated the body of his deceased friend thanks to his gnosis. While your ascension to godhood through marriage with an archon allowed you to finally gain a human form, it's not perfect, and lacks a certain organ needed to produce a child. So you and Venti decided to experiment by combining both of your elemental powers to create a living being. If ascending anemo produces crystalflies and descending anemo creates anemo slimes, then wouldn't it be possible to make a being quite similar to both of yourselves through that logic, by create a powerful surge of anemo enough to bring a new elemental being to life?

However, all it managed to create is a powerful ball of anemo that needed to be immediately contained. This is where the story of Barbatos' breath came from. It's not inside a bottle like Diluc thought, it was contained within your body in hopes that you could one day give it an "ego"... a soul, one day.

The opportunity came during the cataclysm, hundreds of years after the initial attempt. You and Dvalin, with Venti's supporting winds, deal a devastating blow to Durin that ultimately defeated it. While Dvalin and Venti had to go to a forced hibernation in order to recuperate, you miraculously remained unscathed by Durin's poison and was able to get near enough to make contact with him as he lays dying in Vindagnyr, soon to be Dragonspine.

"I know you're not evil, dark dragon. So I wish to give you another chance." You told Durin, floating near his head and staring directly in its eyes that's slowly glossing over.

"Would you like to become my child?"

It does its best to look at you, opening its mouth, only able to draw out a pathetic gurgle. Yes, yes! Alas, its throat has been torn by Dvalin's razor sharp teeth, so it could only gurgle its answer before drawing its last breath.

But you understood, so with your divine power, took Durin's soul before it could seep through the leylines and fused it with the massive power you contained within you. And when you released it from your nexus, your Storm Eye... Out came your divine child.

You smiled, holding the newborn wisp on your cupped hands after giving your green ribbon to tie around his neck. He looks up at you.

Then begins to hover.

What a shame that Venti has to wait another 500 years to meet his child.

Thank you @/wheatcak3 for drawing Nemo aaaaaa. Please follow her uwu.

Dragons Rising E16-20 Thoughts

Here’s some thoughts on the final episodes of Dragons Rising, Season 1:

Land of Lost Things:

So how’d the Dragon Core end up in the Land of Lost Things? Nya says, “Someone lost it” but who?

The Land of Lost Things in this ep is permanently at sunset/rise and looks beautiful

The land itself is screaming? Seems kinda important

Couldn’t Geo just fuse the Hoarder to the ground

Bonzle! Never expected how much they’d do with her after this ep

Sora ngl powering a machine off of another person’s energy does sound like Imperium

Who built this machine anyway

Poor Geo :( 

Cole is just so lost lol. “What Empress?!”

Okay but he’s also super cool

“Bones. Extremely useful.”

“Broken things can be repaired, and made stronger!” Thanks Geo - not only is your relationship w/ Cole super cute but you’ve helped Sora

Dr. LaRow is exactly the type of person who would “erm actually” an insult

IT FORMED A HEART

Wow it’s a cute blue blob

Wyldfyre growth

Very good episode - Cole is characterized great, Geo is fun, we get both Sora and Wyldfyre growth, the Land of Lost Things is beautiful. Certainly could go into more detail but these bullets are just what I think as I watch, not in depth analysis

The Administration:

Arin nearly hits Lloyd in the face with his grappling hook

I wish I had a line to wait in

The Kai and Wyldfyre stuff this episode is great for both characters

The Administration as an agency is so fascinating. Reminds me of the TVA from Loki

“We have to fill out ‘Tricked by fake forms’ forms first”

Blue Frohicky

Is that a new species? The guys who look like Munce? Or are they Munce?

Zane says that the Administration has no real authority, which is true, but it’s also the case that their teleportation technology is very powerful

The Administrator… hmmm

“The lands formerly known as the Cursed Realm” so the body of the Preeminent in Hollow’s Trench? The soul of the Preeminent in the Departed Realm? Something else?

JAY!

Of course the Administration had a car specifically designed around Zane (I choose to believe this was Zane’s car at one point and the Administration confiscated it)

So what else qualifies as a Class B artifact? Is there a hierarchy — would Class A be something like the Golden Armor?

And of course the Administration has a mech designed for Arin and Lloyd

Love the Zane death note scene. “You’re a form genius.”

Really fun episode on the Administration side, and heartfelt one on the Kai & Wyldfyre side

Absolute Power:

I wonder if Ras got revenge on those guards later

Ras has seen a Source Dragon with his own eyes…hmmm

Interesting choice to make Levo a jerk. It makes sense why Beatrix would be so resentful

Beatrix using adults in green suits to represent children I can’t even

This fake dragon core thing is slightly confusing but pretty understandable once explained

“Sora’s Armor for Geo” is a great soundtrack

“[Time] is running out everywhere” because the ground is screaming. Cole what are you talking about? Your journey here is still unaddressed, at least a year in universe later

This Nya Cole exchange is really nice

Was Beatrix just waiting under the Throne Room for them to arrive?

“Obviously they have different energies, they’re different Cores” it’s funny that the sets color the cores differently, but in show they’re all identical lol

Bye Rapton

Excellent manipulation by Ras, but the following scene in prison shows Ras’ fatal flaw: he thinks he’s smarter than everyone else, so he can’t see that Beatrix has (or at least thinks she has) grown beyond him

Love the Imperium coup scene

The hoverboard one take is also great

One of the Imperium Teen Protection/Resistance Force members has changed

LaRow finally grows a spine— only for Jordana to fill in!

We Are All Dragons:

So Percival didn’t know Arin’s name— but did he still think he was a doctor?

“I forgot there’s two of them now” Kai and Wyldfyre work so well together

“There’s no talking to [my parents]” we’ll see about that Sora

Genuinely curious what Arin thinks about the fact that Wyldfyre thinks her powers make her superior 

Nya that joke was “Mediocre-at-best”

Hey it’s the dumpster Arin hid Riyu in

Why did Beatrix film herself admitting her lies

“I’ve always got your back, Sora” thanks Arin, good to know for reference

NO JIRO!!!! (yeah he’s fine but the implication)

The return of Melvin, the greatest Imperium guard

Yet another perfect Kai and Wyldfyre scene. Not the shoulder pad storage!

Get him Riyu, he deserves it

The Beatrix dramatic entrance and then immediately Dorama

Another great one take

LaRow loves nothing but taunting people she doesn’t like - both Sora and Jordana. If they ever end up reconciling, they already have a mutual enemy

They show a clip of Beatrix admitting the dragons didn’t escape, but it’s a different one from when she does the same thing with LaRow in E11

Sora’s dad shakes his head as Sora speaks

Excellent speech from Sora, following in her Master’s footsteps

Kai and Wyldfyre are so cool

Why would you throw one of your own loyalists?

We are all dragons!

Oh shoot

The Power Within:

Finally, Dorama sees the bigger picture

Extremely cool shot (the MergeQuake over the entire city of Imperium)

I agree, the Empress *has* lost it

Excellent shot of the Ninja

Wyldfyre!

Kai gets sliced with a giant mech sword and is basically fine— what sort of armor is under those Ninja outfits

Percival!

Riyu!

Arin can only do Object Spinjitzu when Sora’s in danger (or when he thinks about Sora being in danger)

Oh no not Rapton ah well

LET’S GO SORA WOOOO

See ya Beatrix

Oh no not the Bounty (again)

Zanth randomly grows in size and then never does again lol

I would never forget you Lobbo

I think Arin’s parents are proud of him

Sora’s parents were swallowed by a MergeQuake

Is the Sora scene a culmination of a whole season of character development executed really well? Yes. That being said, I had an even bigger smile when Frohicky appeared driving Zane’s car with the dragon core

Yet another awesome Lloyd vision scene

Dragon hugs :)

The Source Dragon scenes are always cool

“Who was right?” Good question

What’s special about Riyu, Mr. Energy?

“This cycle” what do you mean?

Good advice Lloyd, suppressing your emotions is bad

So we now know that Wyldfyre has Heat, not Fire, but how does that differ besides burning vs melting aluminum cans? (there are plenty of ways but I’m interested to see what they go with)

Kai how’d you drop your pie immediately

Ras stop manipulating teenagers challenge level: impossible

So Ras has a “true” Master, wants to unlock forbidden secrets, and is now working with Jordana. Great setup for Season 2

Closing (brief) thoughts on Dragons Rising Season 1: It’s really good. Good blend of the more episodic stuff and serialized content. Arin and Sora are a blast, Lloyd is great, and I forgot just how good the Wyldfyre stuff is this season. There’s a lot of hanging threads, but Season 1 also does feel like a complete story. It’s not perfect by any means, but certainly at the higher end of Ninjago seasons.

Next up, the start of Dragons Rising Season 2!

[millenniumdueled]

The Day of Judgement: part 2

The bridge creaks under each step, but the Other Yugi doesn't waver or flinch as he walks to the mesa where Raphael waits, an island towering over the desert floor below.

"What've you done with Professor Hawkins?!" he demands.

Raphael smirks. "Oh, I left that old man somewhere in the desert. He served his purpose already. But since you've come all this way... You might as well stay a while.

As soon as Yugi reaches the stone platform, the man across from him draws two large throwing knives from his coat, hurling them simultaneously in Yugi's direction. But he doesn't flinch as the blades wizz past either side of his head, nor as he hears the taught rope supports snap, not even as the bridge crashes against the cliff far across the chasm from the mesa where they stand.

As he readies his Duel Disk, Raphael speaks of a dark and lonely world, poisoned by mankind. How his God and Guardians have promised a new world, free from the people who've ruined it. That it starts by defeating the Nameless Pharaoh. That it's an honor to do so.

"What do you know of Honor?" the Other Yugi growls, drawing his first hand. "You think killing all of these innocent people is justice? Don'tyou see the God you're following is a God of evil?"

Raphael scoffs, but the looks he gives his opponent is pity.

"We each walk on the road we believe in, with our own justice in mind. Which direction does Doma go? Justice or evil? Only history will tell. And all we can do at this moment is bet on our own justice."

The Other Yugi narrows his eyes, and their Duel begins.

As they play, Raphael explains his past. That his family was lost at sea after their luxury cruise was caught in a storm. That Raphael was the only survivor, that he was protected by Guardians of the island on which he found himself. That when he returned to society, he found it cold and uncivilized. That Dartz had promised to save the world by starting it anew.

The cards he plays keep him drawing cards, keep his monsters from the graveyard at all costs. The Other Yugi tries to play fast and hard, to end this thing before his opponent can draw that cursed card. Maybe no one has to lose their soul here, if he can just win quickly enough--!

Raphael plays Purity of the Cemetery, a card that deals both players damage for every monster in their graveyard. But he's been careful, keeping his own monsters from the grave by any means necessary, speaking of the Guardians who had protected him before. But Yugi grits his teeth, glancing at his own discard pile, filling up fast as he tries to rush through this game before the stakes are raised.

The odds are against him, but he summons the great dragon Timaeus to fuse with Dark Magician Girl. This has to be it!

And that's when the tables turn. Raphael actiaves the magic card Exchange, demanding both players choose a card from their opponent's hand. The Other Yugi feels his chest tighten. There's only one card in both their hands.

He swallows down the lump in his throat, the nervous way that Yugi addresses them inside their heart. Head held high, he walks across the mesa to meet Raphael in the middle. As the other man towers over them, their eyes meet, and there's that look of pity again. The Other Yugi says nothing as he exchanges his Necromancy, and he doesn't even need to look at the card he receives.

"you can't play that, other me," Yugi gasps.

"I know, Partner."

But the stone around his neck glows, burning against his collar bone.

But as the Duel resumes, he draws, and his lifepoints drop again for every monster in his graveyard, while Raphael's hold steady. He orders Dark Magician Girl the Dragon knight to attack, but Raphael activates a trap that leaves her encased in crystal and useless.

Behind Raphael, the first rays of dawn break from the horizon.

"I know you want to use that Seal," Raphael muses. "I can see it in your eyes. You know that's the only way to win, Nameless Pharaoh."

The Other Yugi curses under his breath, sets a monster in defense and ends his turn. Raphael attacks both Yugi's set monster and his lifepoints too.

That stone burns the Other Yugi's skin again.

"other me you can't. if you don't play it, nobody has to lose their soul, please--" Yugi begs. But the sound makes his Other Self's head throb. He stares down at the card in his hand. "we might lose, but we can all just walk away and--"

"I can't lose," the Other Yugi gasps, out loud but under his breath. For a moment, he remembers the last time his Partner begged him like this, pleaded with him as Kaiba stood precariously at the edge of Pegasus's castle. He remembers the fear in Kaiba's eyes then. The desperation in Yugi's voice now. The humiliation as his attack was called off as his lifepoints dropped to zero. He can't do that again. He can't fucking lose again!!!!

He feels Yugi tug at the reins, try to take control of their body.

He feels that stone burning like fire against his skin.

"other me, don't do this! don't do this don't do this!!!" Yugi screams, but his voice is already drowned out, pushed aside as his Other Self locks the door of his soul room and plays his only option.

As the Seal of Orichalcos disappears into the Field Card tray of his Duel Disk, a rush of heat and power washes over him, feeling like his skin is burning away as the glowing Seal appears on his forehead. He screams, falling to his knees as the Circle spreads below them, trapping both Duelists inside their cruel fate.

All Yugi can do now is watch helplessly as he gasps, "what have you done?"

good [insert time of day here] i realised i never thought to ask you amid my delight of you being the most interactive follower i have that isnt an irl friend do YOU have ocs or blorbos. i wish to know. for reasons.

OH hello yes thank you for asking!!! I have several OCs but most of the time I simply Do Not Explain on here; I have lots of ideas and doodles but I make it mostly for myself and don't think to share — doesn't mean I don't want to tho! exhibit A: this absolutely massive post I'm about to make lmao. putting it under a read more bc Oh Boy, the floodgates have been opened

most of my OCs are for two different projects I have: The Visitors and my D&D Dark Star Campaign.

The Visitors is just a lil worldbuilding project I've been chewing on for.... oh wow, over a decade at this point??? I love all the OCs I have in there very very much, but they're definitely never intended to go in an actual story, I just enjoy the speculative biology and character / world building process.

Val is one of my oldest OCs, and she's changed SO MUCH over the years! nowadays, she's a sort of insect/dinosaur mashup alien who uses gravity warping magic and a very large axe to hunt demons. a huge issue for magic users of her species is keeping cool, as magic generates heat and can literally cook you from the inside out, so you'll notice the multiple vent-like spiracles across her body for this purpose. she was born blind and so relies heavily on her best friend, Django, to be her eyes and keep her safe. fortunately, Django has Too Many Eyes. he's a dragon genetically engineered by those in Val's species to be the perfect vessel for storing and releasing massive amounts of mirror-based magic. this kind of magic gives him many abilities, including seeing around corners, creating illusions, or multiplying attacks when applied in different ways, and he acts as Val's seeing-eye dragon. in battle, she likes to get up in the action while he holds back and gives her cues on what's happening, only jumping in himself if she's in major trouble. she's very friendly and excitable, and loves to get into the culture of whatever planet they're visiting, while he's more interested in observing and snooping. there's a lot of espionage and hijinks.

these are some of my most recent sketches of them, tho I'm sure the designs will changes in the future. specific colors don't matter at all, it's all about vibes! not pictured in the halfway colored one is Val's big iridescent black cape thing that has a slit down the middle for her rigid tail, nor her weird arms since I wanted to figure out where the torso vents could go.

Duke is another Visitor who visits planets and solves problems, but his path to get there was a whole lot different! I made him up as a coping mechanism when I was 12, and I'm still very fond of him.

he started life as a human video game speedrunner and modder prodigy. in a "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" situation, a devil (very distinct from demons!) struck a deal with him, challenging his gaming abilities with his soul as the stakes. he won despite the devil's cheating, but that's where the resemblance to the song ends. in this world, a devil winning your soul allows them to fuse with you and gain total control over your body, mind, and actions; but if YOU win, the control is reversed! and like any 14 year old who suddenly has the power to rival minor gods and a chaotic creature living in their head.... he goes off the rails for a while. Val and Django eventually find him and help him cope. his powers include electricity, glitching reality, flailing his glaive around, and being a menace to evil overlords.

you can't see it very well in this picture, but his eyes and the segments between his tail glow lime green! I'm not a fan of drawing clothes, but in my head he's relatively fashionable for a teenager and refuses to wear anything other than black. also, he decided to tell me he was trans a couple years ago, thanks for letting me know buddy 😂

my other project does actually get to see the light of day, if very slowly — I'm running a homebrew D&D campaign for my irl friends called the Dark Star Campaign! none of em use tumblr so WHEEEE I get to post all the spoilers I want! there's a kinda staggering amount of lore behind it and a ton of minor OCs, but the two I rotate in my head the most are Anya the Timekeeper and The Master, aka Armageddon.

Anya the Timekeeper is a chronomancy lich from an alternate universe! she used to help Armageddon travel the multiverse and gain power, but she's decided she's tired of being evil, and now hides in a mansion on a tropical island where she breeds dinosaurs for fun. though she's now very determined to help the party, they'll eventually have to kill her past self to prevent a paradox. her familiar is a little archaeopteryx named Trix who steals hats!

(I commissioned this art from @/goodlouse a while ago! highly recommend checking out his blog!!)

Armageddon is the BBEG and he's SO EVIL and SO MUCH FUN. he's an ancient amethyst dragon who, up until a while before the campaign's beginning, was steadily finding alternate universe versions of himself, killing them, and eating their souls to gain Unlimited Power™. unfortunately, his partner in time (hah) Anya told him to fuck off, so the quest for Unlimited Power™ has been kinda slow lately. fortunately, a D&D campaign started, and he cheated his way into existing at the players' table as The Master! my players can ask to talk to him sometimes, and I'll put on a mask of his head I made specifically for this purpose — very useful for not breaking character when the character is supposed to literally be the one sitting at the table talking to the players. I don't try to hide the fact that he's evil and they all know it, the fun is in giving them little hints and tidbits of lore to munch on. right now he's being very docile and helpful but things will get very very interesting eventually as more of his nature and plan is revealed..... =)

I'm still playing around with what he looks like as The Master, but I really like this recent design I did. his eye glows dark and menacing. I haven't found a design for his dragon form I'm really pleased with yet tho :/

okay wow thanks again for the ask, I have many many ideas in my head and it felt pretty nice to get em out!!

[zhauric]

If your OC(s) could fuse with feral souls for battle at the Arcadion, what kind of beast would they join with?

Well I can't say I have ventured into Arcadion yet as adulting has kept me tied up. As I asked a friend I wouldn't mind going but to being a Toys R Us Kid, heh. I know I could google I like surprises so I'll answer without that knowledge.

For Asande it'll be a dragon if you count that in the feral beast department. It's rare you won't find her with her dragon hatchling companion flying by her on her shoulder. Her love, respect admiration for what they symbolize resonates in her so that would be the pirate queen's choice.

For Kaelivh though his companion is a hunting hawk he'd probably resonate more with the tiger. A silent stalker who prefers to roam in solitude than with a group of others when he can. A feral tenaciousness settled within waiting for the moment to erupt and find it's release.

My thanks to you for the random question. Inquiries are always welcomed and appreciate. Sorry I don't know much of a darn thing about Arcadion just yet but I'll get there at some point....I'm sure, heh.

Until next time.

Star and solar have a talk

Solar:"I don't understand why isn't it working I managed to get the human souls from a different timeline and yet somehow my dragon isn't powering on-"

Star:"... If you can travel to different timelines then what's so special about this one?"

Solar:

Star:"you can easily find a timeline where you won you could find a timeline where you find a cure... Yet you're here... Wanting to find a cure that doesn't exist"

Solar:"...I don't know"

Star:"come on solar you have to make a decision now"

Solar:

Star:"you can either stay in this timeline and go to therapy or you'll go to a different timeline... One that you won"

Solar:..."fine you win"

*-solar put echo soul back in echo and make them fuse*-

Galaxy:"now... You have to apologize to your sister"

*-meanwhile*-

Lily:"I'm sorry what do you mean he's dead?!"

Lunar:"he's been dead for the past year it's just his soul is unable to move on so he's unable to do anything he didn't even realize it"

Red:"wait wait wait hang on then how is she interacting with things Chara and clover can't and they're dead victim had the same problem"

Lunar:"that's because their souls have already passed on they are just a guide"

Clover:... So my clover ghost friend is my guide...

Darko:"it made sense now the real reason why clover was following clover around it's because clover is blind"

Delto:..."I should have named my kid better"

Right, okay. This person thinks MELODY IS TOO IMPATIENT. You've met her, right? She's a terror! Not a fan of being told she's wrong, especially if being wrong means she has to do all kinds of questioning and paperwork. Confronting her directly would be an unnecessary risk, when they could instead just make her think someone did her chores for her and she can go off and do whatever she wants. That... basically makes sense. Even if this person were SEQUEL INJECTION, which they're definitely not, that might be a reason they'd decide to do this for you. It's completely plausible.

Okay.

You're just about done, now. All you have to do is execute on the plan.

And you do. MONDAY'S MORGUE SOME RANDOM GUY happens to have some DRAGON BITES CLUES BOGUS CREDENTIALS that can elevate your Arma access level, allowing you to use the "Mirrors" ability and create an illusory duplicate of yourself. They take you to the SPECIMEN STORAGE, find an empty cage, and deploy PRINCE TONY to act as a decoy.

[ed: And that's... enough. Our hypothetical whoever can let Walter and Adea out, or secretly work to cure them, or whatever. In the normal ending, we can say the cure failed, and something bad happened to drive them feral, and they got locked up in the cage for real and then deployed by Melody as a weapon... but there's another possible sequence of offscreen events from the start of the game that means they survived. You want to know how to get that to happen in your copy of the game? Well, I'm going to find out, and then I'm going to tell you. And if you were paying close attention, you already know where I'm going to tell you.]

And then it was supposed to end when the DATA VALIDATOR ripped Walter apart and forced Adea to fuse their souls to replace his missing heart, but you ruined that plan, too. You were never supposed to reach the POISON SWAMP or VAMPIRE CASTLE, but since you finagled your way in there anyway, I thought maybe I could have MELODY REMAKE do her job and put you away in the cage. You know how the game ends. You weren't supposed to try and survive. I just wanted to see if I could write the backstory for something that never got explored in-game. But you people just had to relentlessly thread every needle, didn't you? Had to chase some impossible golden ending. It was never going to happen. The experiment was supposed to be limited in scope. A little game, to test the waters. But, hey. You got greedy. I let you get greedy, because I wanted to see how far you'd take it. And now look where we are! Everything's going to be so much more complicated now. I've gotta keep these idiots alive, on top of everything else. Do you know what a pain in the ass that's going to be? It's not easy! But you know what? It's fine. I'll make it work. I'm Doc7or Coolhaxx. I'm going to make this stupid game cry uncle if it's the last thing I do.]

[maestro04yayyy]

OK, so you asked ab9out my world building and here is the main gist of it, regarding the Kwami at least.

Firstly, I divide the Kwami up into epochs relating the the creation of natural forces or concepts that tend to come grouped in trios.

Secondly, each trio has their own 'EPIC MAGIC' when combined, but nothing quite as big of a deal as the Wish rewriting all of reality.

Thirdly, I basically fuse the Butterfly and Peacock, Sentimonsters are now familiars & the alternative use to making Akuma, they can become "Manifested" if kept around long enough but it takes time, not just energy.

Fourthly, this allows the Senti-plot if one wants because Emilie using it to make Adrien is like giving fifty times the amount of blood that is safely recommended, it didn't kill her right away, but she basically destroyed a lot of integral "Veins" manifesting Adrien right away.

Fifth, I reduce the number of Kwami by fusing them with others who have similar ideas, creating more expanded power sets with less clutter. Bull & Turtle are just variations on a theme for example, so I fuse them.

Sixth, I tend to make it that all Kwami have two domains & two powers, or at least, interpretations of their powers, Migration for example can teleport, or open portals, or sort of just fling the user around, Also one can use more minor versions of the powers more than once, single teleport takes less than a big portal, but the overall rules remain limiting. This is also why the Eldest trio have both a lot of power but also fairly simplistic abilities.

With that in mind, the Kwami!

Creation (Planck) Ladybug - Creation & Purification Cat - Destruction & Mutation Snake - Ouroboros & Time

Elemental (Matter) Tiger - Combustion & Chaos Bee - Order & Subjugation Dragon - Storm & Power

Life (Abiogenesis) Peacock - Evocation & Transmutation Mouse - Multiplication & Duplication Turtle - Protection & Resilience

Animal (Caveasphaera) Horse - Action & Migration Fox - Mirage & Materialization Butterfly - Emotion & Transmission

Prodigious I also fiddle with the Prodigous some, though I never can settle on the Renlings, I have a solid take on Mei-Shi, namely:

Incarnation & Transmigration!

IE, manifesting incorporeal beings into physical form & the movement of your own or someone else's soul. Hence Mei-Shi possessing the statue but also having a Kwami form. They even have a Miraculous tool, the ball, which is fun. I tend to regard them as a Lion Dog or Shishi.

The Renlings are harder & sometimes I ignore them entirely, other times I tinker with them being like:

A butchered pseudo Miraculous using animals spirits. Or ther concepts are tied to none cenrtain ideas so they can't embody the whole concept of justice cos all justice is different, ETC.

Or something like Kwami, namely Predation & Prey, but cos of the making process they don't have a binding command like the Kwami & or they indirectly effect the user to become animalistic.

Older versions also had Mei-Shi as Fission & Fusion (Nuclear energy!) Or Magma & Melting for Renlings (Earth counterpart to Longg)

Notes:

I added mutation to give the Cat something to balance then, out with Tikki without majorly disrupting anything. Whether mutation or Purification cancel the other out is a coin flip as is the result of mutation so it can be either obscenely OP or useless. Hence not seeing much use but being a potential game changer.

The Peacock's power is to emphasize existing traits. Like re-organizing a metal into its strongest or weakest state; or to change the elemental composition of its target into another state. Its era represent multi-cellular life, plants, metamorphosis, & generally how things became competitive hence defense being there too.

The final four have some of the broadest powers, but also the hardest to control as they embody a lot of chaotic, thinking, feeling entities.

Kaalki has it easiest, being variations on moving from one locale to another, but there's a lot of ways it can go wrong. Fox can get into the minds of others, hence mirage, or materialize thoughts, illusions, which can get messy. This also means most people are using it wrong, amusingly.

The Butterfly can tap into a great many things but as we've seen with Akuma, but not strictly 'control' them, merely guide. Hence being able to create such powerful Akuma, but not really control the specifics. IE, Noroo is one of the most powerful, but also has the least direct control over their power, while the creation trio have some of the most simplistic powers, but have near total control.

Not sure what the epic magic for each trio would be. But adding a fourth or substituting a different Miraculous doesn't work. You can unify two different eras fine, and be a powerful holder. But you can't jury-rig EPIC MAGIC.

Also using it tends to be ah... Bad?

Like, if you use the second trio to make a sun, you also have a black hole on your hands, they're in many ways kind of useless apocalypse magic. Or will do stuff like, weaken the boundaries between the living and dead worlds. So great, now we're all haunted by the narrative, thanks Gabriel! XD

Sorry for the ramble!

Don't be sorry!!! I asked after all!!!! And I love reading/hearing people ramble!!!!!

Also that's some good worldbulding!!!!

And yeah the kwami are a lot and probably too many, so merging some toghter is the right choice.

Also giving wach kwami more aspects and power is always nice!!!

I usually make that all kwami have at least a swcond power like the ladybug but maybe even more, and unlocking them depend on training amd affinity with their concept!!!

Also I espand on their concept a little(like plagg represent darkness too)

Also the idea that all trios have a super apocalittic magic power is awesome!!!!!! And yeah it has some very bad conseguences!!!

(Really thanks gabriel!!!)

Breaking curses.

Okay so I was recently thinking about some of my past au's and I was specifically thinking about all the way I'd come up with to break or alter Zeref's curse. So let's take a look shall we.

Obligatory putting in a line break because this will be long

Okay so first off we have the only version (so far) that I've actually written down.

Death.

So essentially Zeref still dies like he does in canon which breaks his curse, except he doesn't stay dead. The version of this your most likely familiar with is tswwid were Zeref comes back to life through a failed reincarnation leading to his soul becoming entwined with his nephew (an even earlier incarnation of this fic was much darker and his soul became fused with Luna's and Iggy didn't initially exist).

An alternative to this version was instead of him coming back, somewhat, naturally, a cult managed to successfully revive him thinking he would bring about a new order. Only for him to massacre the group in anger that he'd been denied the one thing he's sought after for hundreds of years. Only for him to not realise that he's now human and treks all the way back to Magnolia to beg Natsu to kill him a second time. he is obviously denied and goes on a journey of learning to accept his new life.

The next one we have is...

The Dragon Scale Coat.

So this version was originally a papalogia au that I thought up. If you're unfamiliar with papalogia essentially Acnologia becomes an, almost, good guy and begrudgingly raises the five dragon slayers (seven if you include Laxus and Erik too). This version happens either after the Tenrou arc or earlier if somehow Natsu and Zeref encounter each other and Natsu learns that his scarf can protect him from Zeref's curse. With this knowledge in mind Acnologia decides to bodily drag Zeref from his own pity party and creates a dragon scale coat made from his own shed scales.

In some instances the coat is reinforced to negate as much of his curse as possible in others it does it naturally. either way the effect is the same. While wearing the coat, Zeref's curse is locked away and can no longer hurt anyone. The problem arises is that it also significantly reduces his regenerative abilities and means that he cannot take the coat off without realising his curse. inevitably leading to some precarious situations.

Then finally we have...

A Deal Gone Wrong.

I am not going to go too much into this one because it does give away spoilers for a future project. But the idea boils down to the thought that someone wanting to help Zeref finds a way to summon Ankhselam and bargains for his curse to be broken. It doesn't necessarily go well. In this version Ankhselam is a cruel and callous god that enjoys toying with humans, so in order to make a bad situation worse grants their request a la monkey paw style.

The end result doesn't break Zeref's curse but it does lessen it to the point that it can no longer hurt the people around him. He retains his immortality and agelessness but he retains the death magic that has plagued him, just a more controllable version.

So yes, Here are the main ideas I had so far... if you've got further questions or want to expand on anything have at it my friends :3

[http-caedis]

I’m realizing my last ask might’ve sent before I had the chance to actually write out any questions. Uh whoops. But anyways

I’m curious about how the rituals themselves work. Like are they done willingly or by some nefarious organization?

Are they able to defuse themselves from the monsters or is it like a permanent thing?

Also I think I saw you mention a special fusion card. Where did it come from? Cause super polymerization from Gx took like ten thousand souls to power it and I think it’d be intresting to see how a more toned down version of something like that works.

I’m kinda blanking on most ace monsters right now so I don’t really have any suggestions but I think there could be some really interesting design stuff done with characters like Trey, Quinton, or Anna whose ace monsters are more like objects.

Anyways this is a super fun and cool au and I can’t wait to see what you make with it cause I checked out ur art and it’s really good :) it is also motivating me to work on my own au where I make characters magical girls based on their aces

THANK YOUU AAAA I feel like I can do this au more justice now that I’m actually not.. what.. 12?? 13?? Years old LOL ALSO OMG good luck on ur own au that sounds so cute n cool id love to see your stuff for that 🫶

ANYWAYS finally answering the ask, so the rituals are done willingly. In my mind it falls into a cultural aspect, like about when a character reaches their teenage years (since most ygo characters aRe teens with a few adult and kid exceptions) it would be the time where they would fuse with their ace or most bonded monster. Bc yknow how some cultures celebrate children reaching their teenage years, think of it like that. It’s a lovely thing that lots of kids look forward to and adults look back fondly on 🫶 the specific age of doing the ritual varies from character to character, but they should be merged with some ace by the time they’re 20, iF they choose to merge.

It is permanent. You can not defuse, the monster you choose is the monster you get. No take backs and if for whatever reason there’s a mistake (say ur persuaded into choosing a monster when you have a better bond with another, etc) you can’t undo it and ur stuck with it. The fusing varies in pain level, as it all depends on the ace you fuse with. Naturally, humanoid monsters would be less painful, while the more monster looking ones, the more painful it’d be. So let’s say Joey chooses Red Eyes to merge with, it would be pretty fukkin painful bc it’s adding oN to his current anatomy. Humans already have a tailbone, but with the ritual, that tailbone would extend and extend until it becomes a dragon tail. Ykwim?

I did mention a special card! Thing is, I barely remember GX and am currently rewatching it, tho I’m not far at aLL, so I can’t remember how super polymerization worked in full, but the card for this au is a similar card, something that’s more suited for constant use as I thinkkkkk super polymerization is a kinda sacred card??? I don’t remember 😭 but I’m not really sure how to go about this ritual card, I just know that there iS one and it’s needed to fuse. WHEW,, this au got my brain working overtime 😭😭

[silvermoon424]

Saw that you like Madoka and I was wondering, who are your favorite Witches or Uwasa? If you do have some then what about them makes them special in your eyes? Thanks in advance!

Honestly, I'm all about the Doppels! Witches are awesome too (considering that Doppels are their immature form lol), but I really love the concept of Doppels, how they relate to their magical girl and what they reveal about her, how they're used as a life-lengthening feature, etc.

My favorite Doppels are:

La Pucelle de Blancheur (Tart's Doppel):

My favorite Doppel. I just love how beautiful and elegant it is, and how it reflects Tart's pure heart but with a dark twist (as it's so pure that it basically causes people to go insane and confess their sins ceaselessly).

Ein Rotor Drache (Elisa Celjska's Doppel)

I don't really have much to say about this one except that I really love dragons, lol.

Totentanz (Mitama Yakumo's Doppel)

Another top-tier Doppel design, belonging to one of my favorite magical girls nonetheless! I absolutely love how elegant and fancy this Doppel is, yet still vaguely sinister. Its name, which means "Dance of Death," also calls back to Mitama's destructive wish (as to its abilities).

Campanella (Yachiyo Nanami's Doppel)

Another Doppel with a very cool design that displays the body horror aspect of Doppels very well. As its description explains, older magical girls like Yachiyo experience a more limited range of emotions, which causes their Doppels to fuse more with their bodies.

Kriemhild Gretchen (Madoka Kaname's Doppel)

This one gets extra points for being based on an old InuCurry design from the PSP game (Mami, Kyoko, and Homura's Doppels are the same). I love how regal and imposing this giant Soul Gem is, especially since it takes out a chunk of Madoka's chest when it's manifested. Definitely a much more interesting iteration of Kriemhild Gretchen than the mass of shadow we saw in the anime!
