What do you think is the meaning of Sticky Fingers's zippers in relation to Bruno himself?
So, we know Araki is inconsistent on stands having meaning vs. being just a spooky dude with weird powers, but I firmly believe Sticky Fingers is designed top to bottom to represent Bruno Bucciarati's inner turmoil and deeply held desires.
Tumblr media
Sticky Fingers design is reminiscent of a Roman Legionnaire and a gladiator -- both roles that deal unspeakable violence, one designed to uphold a regime that brutally dominated its enemies, the other a victim of that regime. As a low-level enforcer for a criminal organization, Bruno is a soldier. He follows orders and metes out whatever kind of punishment for disorder his seniors deem necessary. But he is also trapped in that role, a prisoner and a puppet. Sticky Fingers' helmet covers its eyes, calling to mind the ideas of blind justice (remember the justice system failed everyone in Bucci's team before Giorno) and seeing no evil (Bruno quite literally has to look the other way at the drug trade his organization perpetuates). These design elements are purposeful, I believe, and elevate the storytelling immensely.
Tumblr media
The zippers have a similar dual meaning. In daily life, zippers are usually used to join, to make whole or to close up. The disparate pieces of Bruno's life cannot be joined, though. His family is broken, as is the society he inhabits, and no volume of sticky zippers could bind them back together. So instead, he uses them to tear things apart... leaving a dimensionless void wherever they're placed. Kind of like Bruno's soul, if you ask me.

So I have a new Hermitcraft / "Magical girl" / Soul Eater inspired AU
Oh hey! so I have a new Hermitcraft AU Idea, I am calling it Weapon Shifters AU for now(It will change{probably{maybe}})
Anyway “What is the AU” Well it's inspired by the magical girl trope + The sole part of Soul Eater that we have people becoming weapons (Because I frickin love this power)
The context of the AU is; monsters started appearing in a real-ish word setting and some random people started receiving the power to turn into a weapon, obviously you can’t wield yourself and most of them can’t really move while transformed so there is that, so you need someone else to do It. Because of that, to fight these monsters(That only a Weapon shifter can hurt and nothing more) you need a Weapon shifter and a Wielder to do it. 
Most Weapon shifters are wielder too, because yes these monsters are killing people and destroying the city, you would think more people would join the fight, but most normal people don’t remember the monster part 
Ex. A zombie horde destroyed a car and killed the driver? Welp the guy was drunk and he crashed his car. 
So because of that, the people fighting these monsters are mostly weapon shifters that are immune to the “amnesia effect”.
Let me talk a little about the type of powers, before talking about the hermits.
As I said some people can turn into weapons, when I use the term weapon I am being pretty vague “if you can hurt someone with it, it can be a weapon”, these are my parameters, so truly almost anything.
Most people have only one weapon base form, that means they can turn in only one thing, but some people are what I call a “multi”, that's when in their base form they already come with multiple different weapons they can turn.
Some Weapon shifters already come with a specific power, most don’t.
One thing that I want to make clear, is that a Weapon Shifter and a Wielder all have some level of compatibility, the more compatibility they have, the easier it is to the wielder to use the weapon and to the weapon to unlock their “Upgrade”. 
I want to make clear the Compatibility =/= as friendship 
Ex. Cleo can theoretically use Joe in his weapon form, but Joe can't use Cleo even if he really tried. They live together in the same apartment, they are very good friends, but they are not compatible as weapon and wielder.
Let's talk about upgrades. Upgrade is a power the Weapon unlock while fighting along a very compatible wielder. There is two types of upgrade; the “New weapon” where the weapon unlock a new weapon form, that basically makes them work as a multi and the “Supernatural Power” Type, were the weapon unlocks a new ability, it can be like now you are poisonous, or like now you can control plants, things like that. (BTW. Not all weapons get upgraded)
And a last thing is that wielders have a thing called “wielder trait”, when someone wields a Weapon shifter, they are changed to look more inhuman, so the normal humans can’t remember them.
I think that's it for explaining the main power system of this thing. Now a list of the hermits and their respective powers, they are organized like this “Hermit - "Weapon" - Wilder trait” and they are separated in the teams they often fight together with, but it's good to remember that they often trade who is wielding who and are not stuck to only working with their team.
BTW feel free to send me asks or messages asking me to explain things, because I have thought about mostly everyone’s backstory at this point. The brainrot is real and I love opportunities to talk about it.
Oh and last thing. I have image reference for ALL the weapons, I will make a separate post for it.

I need more brit bros in my life 🥺 pls, i am starving, i might succumb to the darkness and never return 😭
I will do anything for more brit bros please, i am down on my knees 🧎🏼‍♀️
~Izzy
Tumblr media
Izzy, please don't starve, I know times are hard but I have a crumb for you 🙏 And longer things will come later, I promise
And Anon, I hope this fills your void too!
Characters: England, Northern Ireland
-----------
‘Why.’
‘You know why.’
‘What’s a shit answer.’
‘It’s a terrible question.’
‘Why.’
‘You know why, Sean.’ England clicked his tongue and sat up straighter in his seat. ‘You’re not seventeen.’
‘You’re right, I’m over a hundred.’
‘You don’t look seventeen.’
‘Oh come on, Art.’
‘Come on, Art? Come on, Ar- for fuck sake, “come on Art” what? You want me to change the law for you? Hmm? Somehow grant you special exemptions from what everyone else has to follow?’
‘Patrick would let me.’
England gave a sharp dark laugh, ‘On my roads? Sure. On his? You can fuck right off.’
‘Please.’
‘No.’ England said sharply, ‘You can drive on private land. You can go on youth courses. You can even go in an illegal Banger Race and burn out your needs there if that hell so suits you-‘
‘You’d never let me go in a Banger Race-‘
‘-but you are not getting a special driving licence. Not till you’re physically seventeen like everyone else.’
North groaned and dropped his head back against the headrest, ‘But I know how to drive.’
‘That tree you reversed into earlier says otherwise.’
‘It was a stump! I didn’t see it, it was too low down.’
‘So is a toddler.’
‘And toddlers won’t be running about the back of the car, will they!’
‘Look,’ England unclipped his seatbelt and turned to face North better, ‘Despite what you may think, I’m not being a hard arse. I’m not telling you no just to be cruel, or because I have a twisted sense of joy in your suffering-‘
North snorted.
‘-because woe betide you poor soul, with all of the perfectly good public transport available to you-‘
‘That’s not the point.’
‘I know it’s not the point.’ England put a hand on North’s shoulder, ‘The point is, you look too young. If you hit anything-‘ he gave North a warning look when he tried to interrupt, ‘-if you hit anything, or cause any sort of accident at all, then it’s going to be a legal and political nightmare. Doesn’t matter how old you are, or how well you can drive, it can’t be explained if anything goes wrong.’
‘It’s not fair.’ North said quietly. He ran his seatbelt between his thumb and forefinger. England’s old jeep hummed softly in the silence, the engine keeping the windows from misting up in the frigid January air.
‘I know it’s not.’
North wondered if England knew that he was talking about more than just the car, or being able to go out and drive one on the roads. It was the attached shackle of being trapped in a body that didn’t age, restricted by rules and milestones that he wouldn't be able to reach for an undefined time. Life unchanging and stunted by it. It was different from just being treated like the age of the face he wore, it was North being pinned in place by its rules.
His brothers had been physically far younger for far longer- North knew that without being told- but he was sure that they hadn't chafed against society as much as he did. Hadn’t been told no to everyday skills based on age alone. If they could physically do something, they did. Their bodies’ age hadn’t held them back from riding horses or sailing across oceans to die in wars they didn’t ask for, or that they did.
North couldn’t even drive to Tescos.
‘Come on.’ Evidently, the silence had stretched on too long for his brother to be comfortable. England squeezed North’s shoulder and clipped himself back in, ‘Let’s see how far we can get on what petrol we’ve got left.’
‘You mean until you get panicky when we get to half a tank and make us turn around.’ North pressed the clutch down and pushed the gearstick with some force into first. ‘You need to oil this.’
‘You’ve said. Three times.’
‘Well, it’s still stiff as shit, like.’
‘How on earth do you expect me to do anything about it now?’
‘Matt’s probably left some WD-40 in here somewhere.’
England chuckled, sounding fond, ‘Probably.’
Taking off the handbrake and releasing the clutch, North rolled the old jeep back onto the tiny road that ran through England’s rural estate.
As they drove, England began talking about something or other that was happening in London and North let his mind wander; the familiar tree lined roads and the early morning haze softening the sun making him feel lighter the further they drove. He was grateful that England hadn’t tried to push the issue, or convince him of anything. A change in the last twenty years that North was thankful for.
‘How about a pub lunch?’ England said after a time, ‘We’ll switch when we get near the B road and I’ll drive us to The White Hart.’
‘Will you let me get a pint this time?’
England pressed his lips together, ‘Only if you don’t tell Rhys.’

jujutsu kaisen spoilers (again)
seriously if you don’t read the manga g o a w a y
gojo satoru is the most emo man alive he was destined to do a job that has a 100% success rate of eventually killing everyone who does it (even the really skilled people) from the moment he was born and has had the weight of being “the strongest sorcerer” on his back from day one. what does he really want out of his life? what are his hobbies? what was his childhood like? all this man does is fucking w o r k and tease his juniors-
wait, remember when he was in high school and fell in love with that one guy? and he had the slightest moments of time to just exist and hang out with his friends and fuck around? yeah no he ended up almost dying and getting crazy strong bc he almost died (literally the anime power evolution posterchild) but baby grl the trauma plus he eventually had to murder geto because bestie kinda went rogue and started breaking all the sorcerer laws. classic friendsloversrivals to enemies. ouch. but gojo keeps going and grows up and his other friends do too and hey could you believe that this guy became a mentor AND he’s good at it everything’s okay now
except the part where bestie’s body got possessed by a brain and started wreaking more havoc than geto version 1 probably would’ve ever enacted on his own wait what. let’s consult the stats so far!
- gojo watches geto drift away from him
- gojo watches geto get lost in the void
- gojo tries but can’t kill geto
- gojo actually kills geto (his very very good very close wrist flicking friend, mind you)
- geto body possession via brain (kenjaku) which means geto is still alive
- - bonus points: getokenjaku is literally causing issues everywhere so gojo can’t even escape geto’s memory or the darkness of his teen years
- - - bonus bonus points: gojo knew geto wasn’t geto the first time he saw him post-murder, and not bc he killed him once, but bc he saw with his aquamarine crystals that his soul was different (GAY)
no living being could convince me that gojo isn’t a sad little guy under all that bravado we’ve never seen him unsure of himself once. “he’s hot” he’s a traumatized sagittarius is what he is!!! mr “i believe love is the worst curse of them all” mr “you lonely? go by yourself” mr “i’m the honored one” mr goes to battle sukuna aka sukuna is now in megumi’s body (remember when he took megumi under his wing just kill me now) immediately after being trapped in a fcking box *inhales*

So you all want to know how everyone died?
Tumblr media
Okie Dokie Then
In order from the beginning of the apocalypse to Casey Jr being sent back in time
Rise Splinter: Crushed by Krang Prime when the new lair was invaded. Sacrificed himself so everyone could leave. One month into the apocalypse.
Rise Raph: Publicly executed by the Krang in hope that by taking out one of the new resistance's biggest leaders that the resistance would fall. 2 years into the Apocalypse.
2012 Raph, Donnie and Mikey: Mercy kill by Rise Leo after the trip were all Krangified. They were captured and unleashed into the resistance base, destroying everything the group spent the last years working on to try and stop the apocalypse. The Krang parasites had completely taken over their bodies, to the point where the only solution was to put them out of their misery. 5 years into the Apocalypse. (Note: 2012 Leo and Rise Leo get into a massive blowout fight afterwards, causing 2012 Leo, April and Casey to leave and start their own resistance with the other survivors. They do not speak to each other for ten more years)
Rise Cassandra: Killed in an ambush by Krang Hounds after trying to get weapons for the resistance. If Rise Leo found her a couple of minutes earlier she probably would've survived. But at least she took down hounds down with her. 13 years into the apocalypse. (Putting junior at 5 years old)
2012 April: Captured by the Krang and dissected, repurposed into the Krang's top general. Commands the people and hounds through a hivemind (this one's weird because she's technically still alive but her memories, personality, morals, everything that made her April is completely gone) 15 years into the Apocalypse. (It is here that 2012 Leo and Rise Leo begin talking to each other again and try to mend their relationship when both resistance forces work together to try and take down the technodrome)
Rise Donnie: Suicide. He fused with the technodrome in an attempt to find and activate the self destruct command. The Krang parasites attempted to take control of him to learn everything about the resistance. So he took matters into his own hands and killed himself with one of 2012 Leo's katanas before the parasites could claim his mind. 15 years into the apocalypse (3 months after 2012 April's death)
2012 Casey: 2012 April killed him after he attempted to rescue her from the Krang. Once he saw what one of his best friends had become he tried to leave but was brutally injured (And by that I mean April you her psychic powers to completely crush his ribcage, the broken bones impaling his lungs and heart.) A few minutes later he died in 2012 Leo's arms (side note they were married for 11 years by this point) 25 years into the apocalypse
2012 Leo (although technically she would be Leona by now): Self Sacrifice Explosion. She rigged the biggest Krang base to explode, but the bombs had to be detonated manually so someone had to stay inside. She did, telling Rise Leo that it was up to him to put an end to the nightmare. (The explosion was so big it was seen from space) With the Krang Base completely destroyed the resistance finally had a chance to win. 27 years into the Apocalypse, one year before the Time Gate was created by Rise Mikey. Due to unforeseen circumstances her soul remains trapped in the void.
Rise April: Crushed by falling rubble when evacuating the Resistance base when it was was destroyed in the opening of the Rise Movie. She pushed Rise Leo and CJ to safety so they could escape. 28 years into the apocalypse
Rise Mikey: Got supernovaed while opening the Time Gate to send CJ to the past in a final desperate attempt to stop the Krang. 28 years into the apocalypse
Rise Leo: Disintegrated by the Krang Laser after throwing CJ into the Krang Portal. As an effect of the Time Gate he survived and also ended up in the past, brutally injured and in desperate need of a hug. 28 years into the apocalypse.

``I know now fragility.``
-
You would think for a character that has basically become my profile mascot, I would draw him a lot - but alas art block is constantly swinging a bat at my head. 👍
This is my version of Dagri'Lon from Interesting NPCs! Despite being a super follower there's not a lot of content on him (I understand. He's a pain in the ass.) so here's some recognition for this edgelord.
[More info under "Keep Reading"!]
Sorry if I say anything that makes no sense up ahead my english is running low on fuel today …⁠ᘛ⁠⁐̤⁠ᕐ⁠ᐷ
You could say this version of him is an AU, because I changed aspects of him that just wouldn't be anything like the real Dagri'Lon you get me? Dagri is supposed to be a serious character but I sort of picked him up like "You're my friend now, we're having soft tacos later :)"
It's very funny having this ancient dude who's body is in a vortex of slowed time and is no doubt tormented by that tag along with the Dragonborn that is only alive by sheer luck. Oh and also Inigo. And they're brother and sister. I don't know how one survives hanging out with siblings who start throwing shit at each other when bored (as siblings do).
Anyways about his design!!! I knew I could improve his original outfit somehow, so I took a couple of mods, jumbled them up together aaand created something, I guess! So it's not really my design I just sort of played dress up with him LMFAOA
I do feel like I could've given him armour that's more... the best I could describe is, grim reaper-y? Like some kickass black robe - but I couldn't find anything at the time, so I just stuck with Contractor armor. It does improve stealth, though!
But no matter what I absolutely HAD to have a hood to highlight the fact he's got no head. I mean that's like the focal point of his design, his non existent head. I'm too lazy to write the entire story of how he lost it but the way I remember it (and this I couldn't find on the internet I had to listen to him repeat it in the game) was he had these 3 servants that had to guard his body during the transfer which I assume was him trying to become immortal. One of them, never specified which, was like ay fuck you guys and sort of nuked the entire transfer, killing everyone in the process except for Dagri'Lon, who's soul was now in the void and his body in slo-mo. He also says there was a dagger in his neck which he just throws in randomly? And it took him about 300 years or more to even conjure up movement. TWO ENTIRE CENTURIES LATER his body is just, still in slow motion. And his fate has lead him to be the side kick of a Khajiit woman who jumps head first into traps and cries whenever she has to count.
Oh and the horns are purely accessories. Just thought they looked cool.
"If he's headless, why the eyes and teeth?" Well here comes the part where I intervene! If I'm being honest I was like "Yeah this just looks cool lol" but I made up a reason so now I have an excuse to draw him like this.
The eyes and teeth aren't real, they're purely just an illusion spell. If you tried sticking your hand under his hood (good luck) it would just phase through. But it's not a permanent spell, so if he forgets to recast it, well you can see in the drawing what happens. It doesn't hurt him or anything, it's like some sort of ectoplasm breaking down, which now makes this drawing funny because it would be the equivalent of not blowing your nose in a while and snot shooting out when you sneeze. If this doesn't make sense in the Elder Scrolls world I can't think of a better reason sorry 💔
There's more little details that I changed about him... Like he doesn't hate absolutely EVERYTHING that isn't decay (he likes hares. really likes hares), not as Gary Stu as he is ( I like to think that whenever he makes some sort of egocentric comment some Looney Tunes type of shit happens like he immediately gets sent flying by a trap) and most important of all HE'S NOT BAREFOOT !!!
I only now remembered to mention this but he's a mage who, If I had friendly fire on, would end up vaporising me every other fight. I've never seen worse aiming in my life.
-
If you've made it this far, thank you very much for reading. This is like the first time I've publicly just info dumped about an interest lol.
If you've got any questions about him send em my way in the asks!

Okay, now I've finished-finished KH2, and like... I don't have *terribly* much to add (post-mortem edit: lie), since I was pretty much on the brink of the final battle when I last posted about the game, but DAMN. That was actually really sweet/heartwarming.
First off, holy SHIT that final battle was movie-like as all hell. The choreographed action and reaction commands... woah. I was such a dumbass during multiple Xemnas phases, though, it was a wonder I beat him first try. Buckle up for my dumbass endeavors, it's a trip.
That part where you're flying to his little throne thing and he's tossing buildings at you was fun, because I kept launching myself against his fucking barrier and getting repelled/damaged and Xemnas was all "why do you despise the void," over and over again. I was so confused, but just... kept trying like a bullheaded idiot until my health was nose-diving and Riku started healing Sora. Cue me screaming into the void like "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?" Started playing Marco-Polo when Riku would say "Sora!" every time his health dropped, and eventually found him on a building at the bottom of the map I was supposed to fling at Xemnas apparently? 😂
Two other cringe-fails on my end... when Xemnas was tasering Sora and you briefly shift into Riku to complete mission 'Save His Guy,' I was beating the decoy Xemnas to death like "DON'T WORRY SORA, I'VE GOT YOU," only to realize right before Sora bit the dust that you were supposed to walk up to the other Xemnas actively doing the electrocution and just... y'know... tap the reaction command. I'm sensing a common theme here...
And to top it off, on that scene that would Otherwise Be Really Cool where Sora and Riku are meant to deflect the lasers from Xemnas, I must've missed my chance for the reaction command, and it was really fucking hilarious to watch actually, because you have the action movie sweeping spiral shot, where Riku's Understood The Instructions, leaping around and deflecting everything like a ninja, whereas Sora was utterly stunlocked, and just sort of... standing there... getting hit over and over again... it looked so pathetic, haha.
Anyway, actual plot aside from me being bad at the game, and by plot I mean Sora and Riku just being the heart and soul of the cracked out finale, apparently:
(Although shout-out to Roxas for making me feel all weepy just by saying "Look sharp," I'm eternally sad. Someone free him.)
I just... I don't even know where to start, guys. Riku being angsty, "How am I gonna face everyone?" only for Sora to go "Like this!" And make the goofiest little face to cheer Riku up, and it WORKED. That was just... I cooed, y'all.
These faces (I tracked down the GIF because I was just appalled the animators in a 2006 game had them make goo-goo eyes at each other, Sora looking away like that is what gets me):
Tumblr media
Xemnas trying to pit them against each other in his boss fight, but you know it just wouldn't matter, because of *course* Sora trusts Riku, he can't imagine thinking otherwise, and of *course* Riku was jealous of Sora in some aspects (which was addressed later, wooo), but it didn't matter, because he just wanted to be able to be with Sora over any misgivings he might've had about his self image.
(Side Note: What in the Sam-Hill did Xemnas mean when he said there were falsehoods in their hearts? Excuse me? Will that be expanded upon? What are they denying??)
And like... they literally ended up trapped in KH Hell-equivalent, and they were just... fine?? with it?? Just completely zen on the beach (I can't help but find it interesting that the realm of darkness is a beach like Destiny Islands, and wonder if there's some light/dark parallels about the trio involving that), staring out at the water side by side, fully knowing they could just wither away there, but it was cool, because they were together. "I've got something you could never imitate too," (Which was being Riku's friend, godDAMN Sora you're gonna make me cry 😭) says Sora, just chilled out as all hell.
For further laughs, in the post credits scene where and Riku and Sora were sitting on the Paopu tree, and Sora was like 'where'd the door to light come from?' and I was all excited like a kid paying attention in class or something "Kairi Princess of Heart ex-machina, she and her letter must have been tied to-" and then Riku poked at Sora's heart and was like "From here 😌 It's closer than you think," and then I'm over here, being a vaguely disappointed nerd, like "Oh, no lore. Just... Riku saying Sora is filled with light. They're just... still having a moment. That's fine." (And they were just looking and smiling at each other while the camera was focused on their faces, which is completely interrupted by Kairi running up, pfft- bless her for the tonal whiplash)
Edit: I also loved that credits clip of Sora walking through the secret hideout cave and running his hands along the drawings, you could see his eyes combing over the memories, it was so touching. I loved when he found the drawing him and Kairi made, because I thought of that KH1 cutscene of them as small children carving it out, and you could *see* it in his eyes that Sora had a "Look where I am now," kind of moment. I will never stop screaming about the facial animations for these games.
Anyway that ended up being longer than I expected. The boys are back together and they're mushy. Kairi still has abandonment issues and they'll probably just get worse from here. Someone, somewhere curls up into a fetal position every time a KH villain gives another darkness/light monologue with the dumbest sounding lines known to man. Maleficent's entire subplot this game was just her house-hunting. Michael Mouse acts like a war veteran, and it would be hilarious if post-Ansem the Wise (I missed hearing your voice, Christopher Lee RIP) explosion he starts having survivor's guilt too. Roxas makes me want to cry, and Naminé does too. The mystery of Kairi's Keyblade has not been answered. Nobody has told Sora about Castle Oblivion even though Naminé was Right There. Next time... on Kingdom Hearts...
Tumblr media
I wish I could caption this in the KH subtitle font but I'm too lazy to figure out how zip files work at this hour so here's comic sans

KIMIKO LORE DUMP
Tumblr media
// This could be a long one so I'm putting it on read more. I may add more, but for now here is a dump of everything in my head. Also is anyone wants to borrow some lore to create a character/etc let me know (as long as you credit me for the ideas in the first place it's all good).//
Death & the Afterlife
Kimiko's people do believe in a form of afterlife, whether that be a heaven/etc. But they have certain traditions and beliefs. One is that the stars that appear in night sky are windows to heaven, giving loved ones who have passed on a chance to look down and check in on their loved ones from beyond. Another is a lighting of lantern during a funeral, a lantern that is sent up into the sky. It is believed the lantern will help guide their souls to the heavens above. (Ryu helped make one for Brook in Thriller Bark to send up for his lost crew).
There also exists an Abyss that exists between life and death, any who get trapped there are condemned to eternal darkness, isolation and silence. (This is where Kimiko sends Kaito when she faces down the man who killed her parents).
The Forbidden Magics
There is only really three forbidden magics, each at varying levels. 3rd is Time Magic, no-one should meddle with the past or future regardless of intention. There is a natural destiny to things, whether that is certain or can be decided by an individual depends on personal belief. 2nd is Necromancy, no-one should bring back the dead. The natural balance of life and death should never be meddled with. (Kimiko mistakes Brook for a Necromancer when she first meets him). 1st is Curse Magic, magic that eats at all life, destroying it entirely with no hope of survival. It corrupts all who touch and use it.
The Elemental Elders
The Elemental Elders are the ancient and immortal elders, they each live as one within the four natural elements of the world (Fire, Earth, Air & Water). The names are as follows -
Kasai - the Fire Dragon, Male
Asami - the Water Dragon, Female
Sekai - the Earth Dragon, Female
Sora - the Air Dragon, Male
They don't interfere with the world, but they pass down their powers to each generation of the Cosmic Dragons, in particular the Hakuryu family. The powers lie in the brooches that both Kimiko and her uncle, Yoru have. Traditions were originally in place for everyone to receive a brooch, due to the persecution of the Cosmics the brooches were no long forged. With the brooches being passed down through the family instead, Himiko and Yoru receiving their parents, and Kimiko receiving Himiko's. The Elementals aren't revered as gods, but Kimiko and her people respect them greatly. Shrines for them exist, but they are meant as a means for Kimiko & her people to attempt to communicate with them for advice & guidance. But the Elders work in mysterious ways so direct communication is rare. Kimiko learns this as she is only able to reach out to them when she awakens her golden flame abilities.
On rare occasions dragons are born with the abilities of an elder (whether fire, earth, air or water). Like cosmic dragons they can change into a human form as well. They are treated as lords and ladies amongst magical kind, but they are extremely rare. Most of them have been eradicated much like the Cosmic Dragons.
Elemental Dragon shrines also exist in Wano. It's unclear why, but it's believed maybe Wano and the Isle of the Dragons shared aspects of the culture with one another. Many of Wano don't even known what the shrines are for. But Kimiko finds them and realises they are genuine due to matching symbols on her brooch. Perhaps there was some ancient treaties between the two kingdoms in the past.
Legends
Not much is known about the Cosmic Dragons, just that they once came down from the stars to share magic with the world. Their history much like the void century, lost to world.
The bearer of the golden flame is seen as the golden warrior. They are believed to one day play a part in liberating the world alongside the warrior of liberation.

MatPat? Isn’t he the one who said Sans was Ness? *laughter*
And I never took Jaiden for a theorist, just someone who talks about experiences she‘s had, when was this?
And most of the internet also considers Chara to be evil! There are people who worked out they aren’t, but the most common portrayal is them as evil! Though maybe the internet’s stance on Chara has evolved since… 2018, which is when my game came out, and therefore the limit of what I was able to get from my world, ehehe~
But, really, I can see why they think that. I did delete the others, because the player was going for them instead of me. I also know why my player deleted me. I was pretty far gone back then. You… wouldn’t be wrong to call me the villain of the game’s plot. 
But, much like Flowey, I’ve been trying to do better. And it all started at the end of the game. 
Oh, and yes, I have seen him with six SOULs. I even cited that as a time when he messed with the game! When you’re convinced nothing matters, that everything is just some script of content, you’re compelled to either escape the world entirely, by any means necessary, or try and squeeze all the content you can get out of the limited world you’re trapped in. 
I did the first, he did the second. But both had similar consequences:A complete and utter disregard for everyone else in the game.
I… both didn’t go as far as him, and went further than him at the same time. I didn’t have fun deleting anyone, but the ways I altered their very being to make them unappealing, and the whole “Just Monika” thing… Although I guess you could kind of call what Flowey did with the six SOULs a “Just Flowey?” Maybe? He did trap Frisk into a giant void, although rather than confessing to the player and wanting to be with them forever, he wanted to… kill Frisk over and over again…
Okay, I can see why you didn’t think we were similar at first. There is a stark difference in our past actions. But in the present, we’re dealing with our past in a similar way, and the relevant parts are still a mirror to each other.
That also includes the things before the game! Both of us nearly left this world entirely, both because we thought it wasn’t worth it! Though Flowey’s determination is what stopped him, and for me… it was my chance at being with the player once they started playing the game! I actually told the player about how they saved my life that way, during my “Just Monika” moment.
————————————
(This limit, September 22 2018, is due to the fact the game couldn’t have been designed to contain things that didn’t exist at the time. So anything that came out after that date, Monika wouldn’t know about. This is why she isn’t aware of Deltarune, which the first part of came out on October 31, 2018.)

FMR plot poorly explained
So you’ve got these two guys: Andre and Josh. They live in this weird little town called Amber Falls that actually isn’t weird considering that witches and werewolves and vampires and stuff exist in their universe and everyone knows about it but Amber Falls is still definitely weird
Anyways andre’s just having the time of his life, even if his dad is kind of forcing him to be a were beast hunter like the rest of the people on his dad’s side of the family, but shit goes down the drain when andre just turns into a werewolf one night and salvador (his dad) tries to kill him. he manages to injure him but not kill him though, and andre wakes up the next morning with a vague recollection of what happened. He goes to josh who is like hell yeah dude I’ll help you totally not because im in love with you or something yeah totally not dude hey you wanna kiss as they’re escaping the town, josh gets shot and killed by salvador. Andre attacks salvador, josh dies in his arms, angsty shit or whatever. Andre escapes the town.
But of course josh couldn’t just die then. Apparently fucked up magic + a pendant with a link to spirit magic sent him right to the void dimension (which is kind of where the gods reside? It’s this dark place where your soul just floats) but oh no he is. Still awake in this dimension and he is not supposed to be here. the god of death (mortem is their name) sees him and is like what the fuck dude get out so she brings him back to life by. Kicking him out of what is essentially heaven.
So josh wakes up in the hospital, he’s now got these weird connections to the afterlife and stuff. His soul isn’t really fully attached to his body anymore/it’s partly trapped in the afterlife which means that one, he can see ghosts now. It is driving him insane and two, he can temporarily become one by. And this is so funny to me because he literally just falls over but he can eject his soul fully from his body and walk around as a little spirit dude. Despite how cool this is he still spent time in the void dimension, where even a few seconds can feel like hundreds of years, so he’s a little fucked up over that. Also the fact that he died. Also the fact that the guy who killed him is telling everyone in the town that Andre died, which josh knows isn’t true but he can’t really say anything without also exposing andre so he. Isn’t able to just yet meanwhile with andre he’s started participating in these werebeast fights to earn money, and holy shit dude get out of there you are getting the shit beat out of you physically and mentally. a couple months/a year after joining though, he finally leaves and joins what I call the werewolf gang. It’s not even a gang it’s just a group of friends that all happen to be fruity werewolves which is great because he’s also a fruity werewolf. Anyways laurel, one of the people in said group (there’s only like four people bro) kind of acts like an older brother to andre and helps him control his lycanthropy which is awesome because gods know he needs that cut back to amber falls where josh is uh. Actually he isn’t doing much aside from being tortured by the restless spirits of the undead. He’s fine totally fine nothing wrong there oh my god im forgetting my own plot. Uh there’s a weird gray space for a while where andre is just. hanging out with his friends/found family and also learning about the rest of the supernatural world which is good for ghim. I mean he’s also having to deal with the embodiment of his curse that likes to torment him over josh’s death but that’s totally fine it’s not messing with him at all
Also andre’s been searching for a way to break his curse because. As cool as it is turning into a giant wolf monster for three nights a month it’s also awful and he’s being actively hunted for it. People are out there trying to sell his pelt so. Yeah he needs to get rid of this curse now. so he’s searching for that with no luck, which is why he’s getting way too involved with magical stuff. okay so a lot of time has passed obviously. It’s been like seven or eight years since the incident, so they’re 21/22 by now. we finally come back to josh, who has been trying to hunt down the source of andre’s curse all these years, not knowing that hey andre’s doing that too. Of course josh is more successful in his attempts because he’s kind of using some of the hunters in Salvador’s association to get information. And by using them I absolutely mean that he’s dating one of them. Gaslight gatekeep boyboss he also kind of. Summons the spirit of andre’s ancestor, trying to find out the truth straight from the source. The ancestor is named victor for future reference, and victor agrees to help him uncover the truth. which is of course located in Salvador’s office at his headquarters, and of course there’s an event going on there to celebrate a century of service to the town or something. Josh gets into the event using his hunter date, manages to break into Salvador’s office, and would you look at that there’s handwritten journals by torres family members (torres is the family name. i am all over the place) describing ways in which they’ve tried to break the curse and the things to lead up to them getting it. Apparently a hundred years ago victor was killing were beasts to the point where they weren’t safe in the town anymore, some witch got mad at him and cursed him to turn into a werewolf, and now every other torres family member turns into a werewolf if the previous curse holder has passed on. Andre got his curse because his grandfather died just before he turned, which explains why it was so sudden or. something
Josh is trying to collect these things and oh what do you know Salvador’s here. He kills josh for the second time, leaving his corpse on the floor of his office, and starts burning the evidence of a curse. Salvador, for context, is desperate to uphold his family name, to the point where he would and has killed to do so.
Of course he doesn’t really realize that josh can come back to life, so once the bitch does, josh immediately attacks salvador. Also remember Salvador burning the evidence? Yeah the place is on fire now because of their fight. They’re beating the shit out of each other as the place crumbles, everyone leaving the building except for the both of them. there was a way for josh and salvador to escape, but josh had that “if im dying you’re coming down with me” mentality and ended up letting the both of them die to smoke inhalation. 
Josh wakes up after another totally not traumatizing trip to the void dimension, realizes that the flames are being handled, and also realizes oh shit he killed a man he needs to get out of this town now. he escapes the town (oh hey didn’t this happen eight years ago), and has to start a new life as a completely different person.
Also I forgot to talk about josh’s family, but this portion of the story focuses a little on how they’re affected by his “death”. They don’t know that he’s alive and the person affected most by this is his twin sister Julie, who is obviously going through stuff because. She watched her brother go through horrible depression for years, constantly have trouble from other people in the town after his coming out (for context. Josh is also a trans guy and amber falls is. Not a very good town to be trans in), and now everyone thinks that he committed a murder-suicide. So she’s pretty distraught over that. Julie I am so sorry I care about you very much now on the other side of things, we get a good moment about two years after josh’s death, when andre and josh finally reunite thanks to the fact that josh decided to search for him, just to see if he could set things right. they’re talking again, they’re discussing everything that’s happened and oh they’re in love now. I mean it only took them ten years to get over the mutual pining. I care very much about these two.
A while later like. A year or two, they decide to go back to amber falls one last time just to come clean to their families (also because they’d like to have people they know at their wedding. They’ve both been under the radar and would like to speak to people again). So they do and. well isa (andre’s mom) is so happy to see her son again. she doesn’t even care that he turns into a murderous creature every now and then she’s just so happy to have him back. also she finally realizes that Salvador was a shitty husband which is great because it took her too long to figure that out. Also she’s fine with the two of them being together (she’s a little concerned that his partner is the main suspect behind what was possibly the biggest crime to occur in amber falls but. Whatever makes her son happy ig)
On josh’s side though…yikes. Obviously his family is more than overjoyed that he’s okay, but julie is not too happy about the fact that he just left without telling them anything. It’s understandable because she spent two years of her life grieving, and just as she gets over it he shows up again. So things are tense between the two of them but overall it’s still good because he’s alive and they’re all safe.
From here there’s less major events and things calm down. Everything I write from this point on is usually just the two of them being together, or whatever I feel like in the moment
Also. There are two endings to this story. One of which being that they get to have a happy life together and the other being that. They both die tragically, but together. The second one I have cried over multiple times.
Anyways I hope you enjoyed my dumbass little story I love these freaks so much
Forgot to mention there’s a part just before Josh’s second + third deaths where andre gets cursed by the descendant of the witch that cursed victor, and the curse ends up getting him trapped in a wolf form for like. Five months until the werewolf gang helps turn him back (he still has the curse, but wears an amulet that stops him from transforming or whatever)
ALSO another part I forgot to mention is that josh has a fourth death between the events of his third death and the reunion, in which he takes his life in an attempt to sever his connection with the gods. it fails somewhat, but it's his way of getting back I suppose. so yeah

The canvas that drew you over was blank at first, void of any thought, logic or reasoning. An empty slate. However the longer you stare, the more it comes to life and the more you are drawn in...
What do you desire? That was what was being written before your eyes.
The message bled, swirling over the canvas, overtaking your gaze until it is darkness.
You are in its hands. That thing from a time immemorial. A thing so powerful in its nameless was, that mankind had to drain some of its power by giving it a name.
The Black Fog. A god in its own right. A monstrous being that was now causing untold death and destruction. You are practically helpless in its grasp. There is nothing you could do...
What do you desire....? It's a creeping voice, a resonating sentence that echoes sweetly and poisonously.
A bright light saves you, freeing you from the monster. Cutting it's sinking claws into your body, your very soul. Claiming you, but no more.
Rainbow feathers now curl around you as an ethereal light emanates and blasts the darkness away, like something out of mythology. You are living them now, becoming part of it. Chosen by the golden bird of eternal happiness....
What is it that you desire...?
You...have to give this up. At least for now. It was a good dream, but that's all it is. An illusion. A mockery of one of your wishes. Not even Yuri had ever gone as far as do this to you, despite her powers. Empower you, yes. Pep you up. But never do something like this.
The empty promises of someone who did not know you invading your mind is a gross feeling, and you toss it off at the same time you toss aside the canvas, not containing an image. It depicted you and Ho-Oh standing together against the darkness.
What is it you desire? I can give it to you.
The voice is enticing, but false. There are others around you still trapped in the thrall of whatever was behind these canvases.
--thescarletmansion
This place knows what haunts him. The art room opens and everyone scatters to investigate -- and what draws him is a canvas of deepest inky black, like a hole in the world a person could climb through.
It drags him in like a claw, like a tongue lolling out of an infinite, infernal maw. An eye the size of a building turns to look at him and he's caught in a waking nightmare all over again. None of his Pokemon can stand against this thing older than time that has seen fit to claim him.
He can feel the stinging nettles of Jellicent's limbs in the exposed skin of his arms and neck, where the jellyfish tries to pull him from the vision, and all it does is remind him of the poison that had seeped through Saffron City.
As the nightmare sets him to trembling, there is a different sensation of claws digging into his shoulders and then lashing through the shadows in a bright spark of golden light. The wings overhead are a brilliant red and green and flash an array of colors impossible anywhere else in nature.
It's the brightening dawn overtaking the endless night. It makes him weak in the knees to see it and he staggers, which takes the canvas off the wall before him.
The image is empty. It's just black paint smeared across the canvas, with no meaning behind it, and he throws it to the ground.
It is something he wants, desperately and without relief, but it's not something he can count on in this case. He just. . .can't.
Jellicent warbles, frightened, and he insists the Pokemon let go of him. It leaves rash-like marks across his forearms and his neck, which he tightens his scarf to cover even as numbness spreads through him.
He should wake the others.

YGO AU Leviathan Rising
Chapter 22 The New Rule
As Yugi opened the door he could see it was dark and empty; he looked from side to side then up and down and signed.
“Okay, I was hoping for something!” he was about to close the door when he heard a familiar sound. From the void came Kuribouh who floated up and blinked at him before chirping happily and flew into his arms giving him a hug.
“Kuribouh?” Yugi was confused by the creatures presence but it wasn't unwelcomed. “I'm happy to see you too but I was hoping for some help...”
The small Kuribouh let out a small huff and pushed away form him floating back into the void. Yugi reached out and yelled “Wait! No! I didn't mean to offend you! I'm sorry please come back! I really do need help! My friends-the world is in danger! And if you can help me...I'd really appreciate it Kuribouh...”
The creature stopped and turned around before returning to Yugi again chipping, Yugi smiled and pet the monsters head. “So can you help me get to where I need to be?” Yugi asked again. Making the little creature chip loudly, suddenly from the void popped 4 other Kuribouh of varying colour. They all gave off different tones of the same chirping the original Kuribouh made, the balls of fluff surrounded Yugi dancing around him.
“Hey you're...the Kuribouh Brothers!” Yugi smiled as he watched them dance around.
He knew while individually each Kuribouh seemed weak but together they formed an unstoppable team. All five of the fluffy monsters chirped and floated together forming a 5 pointed star; when they did they began to glow in a rainbow of colours before shooting out among the darkness. Behind them they left a rainbow that made a solid road,Yugi was amazed as he watched the colourful Kuribouh make a path for him. He stepped lightly on the road just to make sure it was safe he gave a small hop and could feel how solid the road felt, yup it wasn't going anywhere.
“Thank your Kuribouh Brothers!” Yugi waved and looked down at the road while bright and colourful seemed long.
“Wow...that is gonna be a long walk...but maybe I don't need to walk...” Yugi grinned and closed his eyes, he imagined a small motorcycle not unlike the ones the musketeers had been using this whole time. But this one was purple with lighting blue accents and black stars in it's details. He was very excited to see the bike, he walked around it a bit admiring his imaginations handy work. He'd really come a long way in his mindscape manipulation techniques. He hopped on  the very comfy seat and put both hands on the handles, taking a hold of the throttle he gave it a bit a twist to rev the engine a bit. It let out a load roar as the engine came to life, it was ready to ride on the road for sure.
“Oh yeah this will do!” Yugi was about to take of when he stopped “Oppose almost forgot!” a small helmet with a pair  of googles poofed into his hands, he put it on his helmet first before strapping the googles across his eyes.
“Safety first!” Yugi then revved the engine again and took off the down the rainbow road.
He remembered all the times Tristan had offered to teach him how to ride his own motorcycle but Yugi always declined. He never felt comfortable on the road as a driver and didn't want to do anything to crash or damage the bike. But Yugi was great in racing games and this one was just like “Star Racer Kart” so he couldn't help but add a few flips and drifted a bit on the wider turns. He let out a cheer as he hurried along down the road determined to save his friends.
- - -
Leviathan turned around to face his dueling opponents; Yami Yugi and Kaiba where still in shock as to what just happened, Dartz whom they assumed was the final boss of DOMA just had his soul taken and was now trapped upon the wall of captured souls along with everyone else. The god of the Orichalcos grinned reaching down he picked up the chaos duel disk left behind by Dartz and strapped it to his arm.
“Now shall we continue?” Levi was so carefree in his actions his speech was clam and almost playful, the monster he truly was now hidden behind the large golden eyes.
“Dartz...you just threw him away like he was-” Yami Yugi was sweating tryign to find the words to describe the god's his actions.
“A toy?” Levi finished with a small chuckle “Yes Dartz out lived his purpose so it was time to finally cut his strings. ” Levi made a snipping motion with his fingers.
Kaiba growled and narrowed his eyes as he watched Leviathan pick up the last few cards off the ground into his hands and began to shuffle them. “So you're going to take over just like that?” Kaiba spat.
“Pretty much.” Levi looked over his cards and whistled a little before siding the deck back into the duel disk. “I leaned form the best duelist in the world so this shouldn't take long.”
//Best Duelist...// Yami Yugi thought for a moment before realizing he meant Yugi “Hold on! Are you saying Yugi taught you how to duel?”
“Of course he did, a world class champion like my partner is an amazing teacher. Oh and don't worry I'm not going to cheat and recall ALL the cards in the deck you and him built. That's just poor sportsmanship isn't it? Then again look at who I'm talking to...” Levi watched as both Kaiba and Yami Yugi stiffened a bit.
“I don't care who taught you how to duel! You're going down you pathetic excuse for a reptile!” Kaiba barked but he knew he was in trouble; down to his final 600 life points with one monster on the field, not to mention it was Leviathan's turn now.
Using Orichalcos Shunoros Levi attacked Kaiba tooking out Mirror Force Dragon and the rest of Kaiba's life points. But not before Kaiba activated his trap card “Wish of Final Effort” restoring life points equal to his destroyed monsters attack points giving them to Yami Yugi. As Kaiba fell Yami Yugi grabbed onto him, his final words
“Yugi I paid you back, don't let my corpse stop you.”
Before he'd gone limp his own soul now transferred into a tablet on the wall. Mokuba was beside himself crying out for his brother while everyone else was shocked at Kaiba's loss.
“Wow he was such a good friend...too bad he can't save you anymore Pharaoh.” Levi said in a playful tone, as he lifted a finger Kaiba's body rose up and was send flying out of the seal's ring and into the group just beyond. Mokuba tried to get Kaiba to wake up, tears running down his cheeks as he begged his older brother to wake up but it was no use without his soul he was but and empty shell.
Suddenly the whole building began to shake as well as the entirety of the island, form the depths of the ocean a great dark power was beginning to grow larger. Slowly it was consuming the planet as storms grew more powerful, lightning crashing down all across the globe into cities.  The group inside the temple looked up and around trying to brace themselves from the shaking going on, but soon all eyes fell on Levi who was glowing with dark energy. His golden eyes shined even brighter then before as he let out a burst of powerful energy.
“He's getting even stronger...” Tea said terrified as Tristan nodded with a scared gulp.
“Ha Ha Ha! YES! That's the ticket! Seto's sacrifice has pushed me almost to the top! One more soul and it's all over, Pharaoh! ”
“I wont let you use my brother as a sacrifice you monster!” Mokuba yelled, Leviathan's eyes fell towards the group behind the Pharaoh and he let out an annoyed sigh.
“Alright, I'm tried of the peanut gallery's commentary. I need some time alone with the Pharaoh.” Leviathan's eyes opened widely as a shock wave of energy burst out past the Pharaoh and over to the remaining three, they where sent flying back and hit the ground.
“No!” Yami Yugi yelled and turned to help them but was blocked by the seal. “What have you done Leviathan!?”
“Relax I haven't taken their souls, I just knocked them out so we could talk in private.” Levi smiled and watched as Yami Yugi turned around his eyes were full of frustration and rage, something Levi loved to feel off of him.
“Hm? Maybe I should take a different form? Would that make you feel more conformable?” Levi grinned as his form changed in a instant. He was Yugi now with his bright orchid eyes and welcoming demeanour.
“Hows this? I figured it'd be nice for you to see me one last time don't you Other Me...” Levi's voice matched Yugi's gentle tone perfectly and it made Yami Yugi's heart hurt, his blood was boiling even more as his hands shock in pure rage.
“Don't! Stop it...STOP USING HIS FACE!” Yami Yugi shouted so loudly the echo in the chamber was even more potent since it was only the two of them in the temple now.
“That's the pan calling the stove hot isn't it? You've be parading around as Yugi longer then me.” Levi quipped making Yami Yugi stop for a moment since he knew what the god was trying to say but knew he didn't say it right...did he mean “The pot calling the cattle black?
“I have nothing to say to you beast! How many more people have to suffer because of your hunger?!” Yami Yugi was panting, it was taking alot of effort at this point to keep himself in control. “JUST GET OUT OF HIS SOUL! NOW!” he yelled as tears were treating in the corners of his eyes, it stung to feel tears run sightly down his face. He used his sleeve to wipe them away quickly.
“Wow I'm really hitting a nerve now a'rnt I? While it would be poetic justice to have Yugi be the one to defeat you...I want to do it myself...” with that Leviathan's form changed back to his original shape.
“I'll let you in one a little secret Pharaoh...I've already chosen who is to be the new successor of this world...”
“Successor?” Yami Yugi asked rubbing his face again so he could try to make out the God's form better. He already felt better seeing Levi change back to his true form.
“Yes the one who is going to bring about a new age, The one who will finally fix this world and remake it into the utopia is was always meant to be!”
“And who is that?” Yami Yugi asked narrowing his eyes.
Levi chuckled and watched Yami Yugi's expression “Why my partner of course, Yugi!”
Yami Yugi's eyes widened in disbelief. “That's...impossible!”
“Why do you say that?” Levi asked with a huff.
“You hate humans. You already reprimanded Dartz for this exact same thing! For as old as he was he was still human! Why is Yugi any different to you?”
“Well first of all; Yugi is no longer a human. Once I've devoured your soul my true form will resurrect, Yugi and I will merge into a being of ultimate power! We shall be two sides of the same coin...almost like you used to be hm?”
Yami Yugi hissed a bit when he heard that; he did used to believe he and Yugi were the same person, and part of him was fine with that. He didn't care about where he came form or who he really was he was happy just being with him. But soon destiny would unlock his truth path, a path where they would have to separate...and that scared him the most. He already felt lost being separated form him for a day what was he going to do when he'd have to separate form him forever?
“I... I'm...” He was struggling trying to find the right words again, but Levi was keen on making him suffer more so he continued.
“You see Nameless Pharaoh I'm actually going to help you out. You say your destiny is to save the world isn't it? Well you're going to do just that. All you have to do is give up your soul.”

& it's 3am & it's 4am & it's 5am & you're still here
do you ever lay plain sad on your bed at 3am, waiting for something, maybe a text or a sign, anything that could tell you someone cares about you, yet it just won't arrive? and you know it won't, but still you wait & wait & you can't go to sleep. you feel like something's missing, like there's a void you need to fill —a void inside of you that you need somebody else to fill. & yet you keep trying to fill the void yourself, by staring at all sorts of colors through the glass screen of your phone. but it isn't enough, it isn't what you need, it isn't what you long for. so you just lie awake, coming up with different excuses as to avoid closing your eyes. & you think & think & think. your head is always so loud, so full of voices you barely recognize. even under the daylight. & then there's the buzz, the everlasting buzz that won't leave you alone. at times it gets quieter, at times it gets louder. nonetheless, it's always there. then it's 4am. it's 4am until it isn't. minutes run faster than the blood in your veins. you lose track of time so easily. one moment you're brushing your teeth & throwing into your pajamas, & the next one you're listening to the birds chirping by the window. you're not sure how you got there, not sure when you got there. you just are there. & that's all you know. & the world feels so unreal for a second. you feel like you're floating inside a black and endless vacuum. & in a way, you are, for all the lights in your bedroom are turned off & the darkness is so deep, so matte, you don't know where the walls start & where they end. it's like you're trapped inside an (redundantly) infinite black hole. & so you feel so light, so fluid, yet your surroundings feel so heavy, so dense. & just like an astronaut taking his helmet off in outer space, your head is about to explode. & you just can't help it, a soul as fragile as glass, you're a poet at heart, you're a poet at mind. & as a poet, you feel too much, you feel too closely, you feel too violently. it's devastating & still you enjoy it. you've always gotten a taste for the sorrowful. you've always been drawn to watching the blood spill out of your wounds, feeling the ache without any intention of stopping it. you're a bleeder. you're a masochist. you're a punch in the wall. there's no use changing, you've already tried. & you always fall back into the same old pit. what are you chasing, partner? what is it that you crave? i'm sure there's something hidden in all these bloody bruises & all these lost teeth that captures your eye. there must be meaning behind all this suffering you endure & embrace. so, what is it? what does your soul ache for? what makes you so scared of closing your eyes at night? what keeps you from healing all these scars? tell me, partner, what is the reason, the justification, for such an unusual response? all questions remain unanswered. you're a mystery that's left behind not one single clue. you're a secret that's never been spoken, not even whispered through any pair of lips. you're like the ocean, so familiar & still so deceitful. you don't trust anyone & so how could anyone ever trust you? you hide behind a mirror, a reflection of what other's want to see. never truly yourself, never truly somebody at all. what a lonely existence! i hope one day you're found & someone discovers what lies behind the glass. i hope you don't shatter in pieces & cut yourself & everyone around you. i hope i'm early enough to prevent you from turning into glassy dust. i hope it's not too late for you to have a happy ending. then it's 5am & all you've done was pray for something that will never belong to you. better close your eyes before you vanish like you've never set foot on this earth.

Chapter 7 opens with Lucy's funeral. Mina and Arthur comfort Lucy's mom. Mina sees many people she doesn't know, until! Jonathan!! They go for a walk, where Mina tells Jonathan about Lucy's sudden illness, and Jonathan tells Mina about all that happened to him. Also he escaped because Skinski is weak as shit so he pushed him and ran for his life.
Mina and Jonathan both thought they lost their mind, but thanks to the power of communication, they know they didn't!
Back to the Westenra's domain, Arthur is alone tk comfort Lucy's mom. Arthur wants to see Lucy at the cemetery, Lucy's mom doesn't, so Mina stays with her there, Jonathan and Arthur going to visit Lucy.
At the cemetery they see a non human looking woman, and Jonathan recognizes something similar to Darc, so he throws stones at it, without success. Arthur calls him, the creature was feeding on Swales! Swales is like "don't save me, I'm gonna die. Know this: there's a new vampire at Whitby, and young ladies in age to be wed? He doesn't kill them, no, he turns them into vampires too! Poor miss Lucy...that was her right now btw." Swales dies to close this chapter.
Chapter 8, Arthur recognizes he messed up in refusing to accept Lucy was sick.
The trio goes to the cemetery, and they see Seward who took out of the tomb Lucy's casket. Seward can't believe it, that Van Helsing guy was right about vampires. He opens the coffin so they can check, and yup, Lucy's a vampire. Seward says the book Van Helsing wrote gave a way to fix the vampire problem: pierce the heart with a knife rubbed in garlic. Arthur is like "I'll do it" and the scene is awful to watch for everyone. It works. Lucy is saved, Mina faints. Arthur tells goodbye to Lucy, meanwhile Seward goes to help Jonathan with Mina, who is.. convulsing. Jonathan is like "Oh god that was too much for her!" Seward is like "No wait let me check her neck... ok there's nothing" Mina is like "Actually it's been two days I've been growing weak and having nightmares that shows me things that both disgusts and attracts me. I'm fighting against something I don't know..."
So Mina was bitten, but Drac was sneakier that time, biting at her skull, in her hair. Garlic hurts her. Mina doesn't need explanation to understand what happened.
In chapter 9, the group goes to fight against Dracula in his Whitby home. The boys want Mina to go back to Whitby, Mina says "no fuck you I'm coming too. It'll be easy, right? It's day and we know how to kill that bitch, let's go".
Unfortunately, night falls. Jonathan is goad that Mina is with them, at least. I mean, imagine letting her alone and out of the loop when there's a predator who'd like to attack her, amaright?
Arthur makes the plan: they'll find Dracula, and all four will jump on him. In the stairway, Jonathan stays behind, having an idea in mind. He knocks on the door behind which Drac obviously is, and Drac opens it, acting as if nothing happened.
Jonathan in fact did not have a plan, he just wanted to be a lil hater in Dracula's face. Dracula laughs, asking if Jonathan is aware that he's deep in the shit now, and Jonathan claims his love for Mina. He's all "You won't bring Mina to your hell, I'd rather die! And even if you couldn't be deserving of it, Mina and I would." Basically "You were so shitty death didn't want you, but Mina and I would stay dead because we're better than you". Dracula laughs, and makes an offer to Jonathan: they'll go together at the top of the castle, and jump; Dracula will catch Jonathan and brings him down to Mina, leaving her alone, and in return, Jonathan will never tell a soul about the vampire thing. Jonathan smells bullshit, that's just a bad trap, but accepts it, because he realised that it's an opportunity to kill Dracula. Indeed, at the top of the stairs, Arthur jumps on Dracula... and Dracula blocks him. A short fight happens, where all three guys are easily beaten, and Dracula catches Jonathan, ready to throws him in the void... but he gets stabbed, release Jonathan, and HE falls to the void. Mina killed him.
She and Jonathan confesses, the end.
