Why do I want to be one of Syb's unfortune game victims...I shouldn't, but dammit PiNniE

[Oh come now, that's just an indicator of good taste, in my humble opinion. Fem reader. This is a shortie.]

TW: Gore; Noncon.

Sybastian doesn't like to think of himself as a particularly cruel mimic. Yes, he's also not an exemplary, morally righteous monster by any stretch of the imagination, but he's not villanous, he doesn't go out of his way to cause misery, to harm and genuinely torment.

Unless he's in the escape floor.

See, Vinnel has many tricks up his sleeve, and one such involves tapping into people's most violent impulses, their less than sightly desires. All he had to do was show Syb how much fun he could have there, in a perfect hunting ground with lots of wide and bulky furniture for him to blend in with. He could do anything, free of consequences, and be rewarded for indulging like the beast others perceive him to be. The mimic won't lie, he felt a little guilty at first, most escapists aren't that crafty, he could very easily tear their limbs off and end their lives, hang them up for the surviving ones to see and become paranoid, let the stench of their terror lead him to gruesome victory.

But nowadays, Syb's conscience is mostly clear of burdens. This is part of his job, after all. He can enjoy himself, why shouldn't he?

Your kind of participant, well, unwilling participant, is his favorite. Frightened, shaking little lamb, but clever! Oh so clever! You can lockpick, you spot the details the jester spent so much time trying to hide, you're nimble and your reflexes are commendable, for a human.

Even still, even with so much talent- You are fighting a losing battle without even knowing it. Your game partners have been eliminated, the entire floor stinks of ichor and steaming guts, you're aaaaall alone, and you've yet to find Sybastian even once. How cute, how adorable.

You've walked past the aged armchair a couple of times now, hearing the mimic sniff at your skin and getting startled, but never being able to tell where the sound comes from. Where your pursuer is. Sometimes he inches from side to side, and yet you never spare him a second glance. Whatever could be off-putting about a lavender armchair, right? To think that's what's been killing you off one by one is ludicrous!

Poor little thing. Smart as a street rat, though smartness and intelligence are two entirely different concepts. And you, dear muse, haven't put two and two together yet.

Oh, this is Sybastian's favorite part of the game. The final one. The final prey. Logically, when there's only one target around, what's the point in hiding anymore? No one else can see him, no one else can inform the others. It's just you and him, and you're not close to getting those locks off the main door anytime soon.

The fear in your expression as you witness the inconspicuous armchair twist and mold its mass into Sybastian's usual chest-headed form is priceless -Ah, he never tires of it- was quickly accompanied by miserable realization. And a tardy reaction speed. Really, how pitiful, you hardly make it out of the faux living room before he's got a gaunt hand curled around your ankle.

It would be a shame to kill you. Cute thing. Cute rabbit with your heart hammering so loud he can almost taste the blood pumping through it.

You're the last, you're the best, he'll give you a reward, since there's no rush anymore.

There's nothing that can prepare you for the eventuality of Sybastian's claws tearing indiscriminately at your clothes. As he pointed out before, you're not stupid, so you know exactly why he's carelessly undressing you. So quick-witted are you, that it takes little time before you glance at his half-heartedly tied loincloth, finding it already tented and wet with the mimic's precum, his anticipation- Sybastian waited to have you, he was nice. The monster rips the worn cloth off as well, letting you have an eyeful.

He finds your scream of distress predictable as soon as your bottom half is lifted by two spidery yet abnormally strong hands. And yes, while he will enjoy bouncing you on his cock until you're too crazed to make sense, bending you over every piece of furniture in the room, he knows where he wants to start things-

By sampling you pretty wet cunt, of course.

" ... Ssmile. " He rasps, making your small heart freeze for a moment as he points up, towards hidden cameras. You tear up in horror and humiliation, making his dick throb.

" Pretty girl... "

His final girl.

A Day Made Better

Type- Blurb

Verse- Marvel-Actress!Y/n x Marvel-Actor!Harry and Marvel-Actor!Tom Holland

Warnings- None that I can see, but please do tell me if there's any I should put!

Word Count- 912

A/N- I'm slipping back into writing a lot now. Like, I've literally got two more fics saved up and ready to be posted in my drafts and I'm onto working another one. You believe me now? Good. I hope you enjoy reading this <3

Description- Y/n isn't having the best day of her life, Tom can't seem to stop falling and Harry is just too good at making people happy with his little jokes.

It'll be a lie if they were to say that they 'didn't even try' to keep Harry from joining the duo of Tom and Y/n.

Cause they did, they really did try their best. Alas, sweat broke on their foreheads as they lost the unconfirmed battle. But that doesn't mean they are at peace now, oh that's such a no. Perhaps that's why they were gatekeeping Harry, to save them from any greater number of chaotic plans plotted against them.

Every morning, Harry is the first to arrive at the set. Followed by eating-something-Y/n and then a disheveled Tom. And everyone loves their presence but somedays they want nothing more than to tie the three up and throw them in some random deep pit.

Today, majority of the marvel actors are on the set because of some random interview filming which apparently required to them to be on the set. This made the lot who wasn't in the camera view feel annoyed- not sure with the interviewers or with the ones who are being interviewed.

Whatever the option, Y/n is most definitely annoyed with both.

She's been asked to come on set at 5am in the morning, since the last two weeks. Well, everyone has been. But today wasn't like just any other days, no. She had gotten her periods last night, which she blames to make her cry last night. In the morning when she woke up, she was met with her unpleasantly puffed-up eyes, causing her to cry almost again especially when her hair wouldn't get in a proper braid.

At the end, she washed her face with cold once again, looked away from the mirror and threw her hair in a hand curated bun. And, as expected, it looked better than anything.

Then when she arrives on set, she sees Tom on the ground looking like an embarrassed five-year-old, and Harry who's standing right behind him, clutching his stomach and laughing his lungs out while providing his friend with his arm for support.

That did turn the corner of her lips up a tad bit. But when she was told how there wasn't going to be any shooting done today because of interview she and the other two are not a part of, she felt like ripping her hair off her scalp.

She had asked if they could go back then, but the answer she received might be the reason she's sitting in a corner as she registers the fact that this day was going to go down the sink of moodiness.

"Let me tell you a joke," Harry came to sit down beside her, his thigh touching with hers and y/n's not sure if it's because his love language is physical touch or just an unintentional thing. Either thought makes her smile a little. "But you'd have to participate in this one- just once!"

"So, a papa tomato, a mummy tomato and a baby tomato were walking down the street. The baby tomato was walking too slow and got a little behind the parent tomatoes. That made papa tomato mad, and he squished the baby tomato, telling him to: 'ketchup!'" Harry shrieked at the last word and started giggling himself before fixing his eyes on y/n's mouth to see if it made her smile even.

It's like she's laughing, but she doesn't want to laugh- like she wanted to remain sad. Which makes Harry bump his shoulder with hers and laugh along.

Y/n feels something brush on her back before the third musketeer's voice follows. "What's so funny, eh?" He asks as he tries his best to sit down in his kinda tight skinny jeans. "Tell me too, my day hasn't been very heartful either. It's been rather hurtful," he continues himself, squeezing out an unexpected laugh by the other two.

"He's been falling on his ass all morning long," Harry tells y/n as he calms down, still giggling every once in a minute. Though when he sees y/n frown in amusement, he goes on full tryna-convince-her mode. "Like literally!"

"I've fallen what, three times? And what did you do about it, other than wheezing huh?" Tom defends himself from the other side.

"What else could you expect me to do? Massage your arse??"

This snatched a wheeze from y/n's lungs as her body shrinks down. Clutching her stomach, she rises back up and starts to clap while still laughing hysterically.

"Shut up," Tom mumbles, the tops of his cheeks reddening as if someone pinched them.

Harry sputters out laughs as y/n and Tom tell him more about the pranks they have pulled on the rest of the cast members before. But none of them pulls a laugh as loud as the can toppled over Tom's head does.

"Should I throw the other two too, or are you guys coming here to get them?" Sebastian shouts from quite afar with two more cans in his hands.

"No wait! We're coming!" Y/n manages to string the words together in the middle of another wheel of laughter, all while Harry helps her up and Tom cusses out Sebastian.

With the cans finally in their hands, they come back to sit back at their spots. The time followed by goes like that, Y/n spilling her drink as she opens her can, Tom almost slipping over the same drink as he stands up to enact a scene from his favourite movie he was describing and Harry throwing lame jokes here and there.

[rubin-therubix-loverofblorbos]

Hi, thanks for answering my ask, If it's not too hard can you tell me your race head canons for all the Mercs?

You're the best.

Engie: BLACK. He is not white. no. no don't look at the game. or the comics. or anything else related to engineer tf2. you cannot see that man at night. he's too much of a southern-black-mother-haver to be white. who cares about his dad, his MOM was BLACK. Polite, mildly violent when he needs to be, intelligent? His momma not white you can't change me.

Soldier: Native/Black. Mother Inuit and father African, OG last name Domoraud, got shortened to Doe through Immigration; OG first name was Amaqjuaq, but his parents had to choose a name on the spot. He has many identity issues, don't ask. Never takes off his helmet 'cause he doesn't like his monolids.Very touchy about the subject of race because where he lived was probably nearly as bad as Texas in terms of racism, feels he needs to devote every waking second to America or else he doesn't belong there. Yeah. He needs a bit of help. Has a weird accent but he hides it pretty well. Wow I rambled there...

Spy: Black/asian. Wow I really just dipped Tf2 into charcoal, didn't I? Didn't realize how many of them I Poc-ified until I put it down on paper. His mom was an asian woman, very stern, but she had a soft spot for her gender-weird kid. Dad was a black man, sweetheart, but he wasn't good at caring for people. Mother was a ballet star and taught him, he fucking mastered it. Broke his hip and disabled himself for life, but mastered it. Somehow he dramatizes it even more that it already was, and what actually happened was already halfway out a soap opera.

Sniper: Native. Māroi biological and Aboriginal Aussie Adoptive. He's Native on top of Native. Family spoke Antakarinya at home and he taught himself Māroi. Like Soldier, he has identity issues because languages and cultures get jumbled up in his head sometimes. Hates getting told he can't participate in Aboriginal activities because he isn't actually related to his parents. "BITCH? I WAS RAISED DOING THIS SHIT?" Is very passionate about his culture, especially his Antakarinya, because that is a language two breaths from death.

Scout: Black/white. LIGHTSKIN. CHEERIO-LOOKIN' MOTHERFUCKER. LITTLE E-FUCK-FEMBOY ASS. Soon as he pull out that fried chicken he's in a chick's panties. No explanation because you don't need one.

Pyro: Black. Heavy Nigerian accent, even when their speech isn't muffled people can barely understand them at times. Doesn't have the best english pronunciation, but their voice is jacked up anyways, so it doesn't matter. Fluent in American and British ASL despite this. Big person, bigger heart. 6'7'' 265 LB person with a voice deep enough to hit the Earth's core skipping around in Kidcore Aesthetic™️ and putting stickers on everything.

Demo: Black. we all know buddy. Although I feel like the Scottish are so on a different plane of being that they should be their own race. Black/Scottish. Very smart and has multiple degrees in chemistry and he drinks so much his blood has turned into pure alcohol. Scottish behavior. He wears kilts often, but sadly wears pants under his most times because they're. yknow. on a battle ground. But I think it's a shame. Can you tell I am getting tired.

Medic: I don't fuckin know. German. His race is Germany. The whole country. You ask him his race because his skin is very swarthy so you can't tell whether he's a really tan white guy or a weirdly light black guy. He's a pacific islander/white mix, but he actually barely knows. He'll remember his mother was Polynesian and go Oh. I forgor [Insert skull emoji and a facebook minion meme about mortality}.

Heavy: Black/white mix. He got his mother's beauty marks and his dad's bulkiness. Weird genes, very light but he has very pronounced black facial features. Big nose, big lips, high cheekbones. He gets asked if he's albino more than you would think. People actually don't expect him to have such a heavy Siberian accent because you expect white Vodka twink or white vodka dad that sneezes real fucking hard to have that much of a accent, not the guy that looks like he came out of a Nella Larsen book.

OH MY FUCK I'M DONE.

[givemearmstopraywith]

Hi! I hope you're doing well! I was wondering if I could ask something about religion since you know much more about it and you have your own relationship with God but if you don't want to answer it or can't that's completely okay too, no pressure <3 so I've been battling with my own belief in god for a while now and i still don't really know how to answer the "do you believe in god" question and I've come to terms with that. But whenever I think that it would be nice to convert to one of the Abraham religions, I always stop myself because I can't reconcile religion with my lesbianism. It feels like I'm not allowed to believe in god or to be a part of a religion bc of my sexuality and I'm afraid that when people say that queerness is a sin in the eyes of god, they're right. The holy texts after all are against homosexuality or at least against the homosexual acts. I don't know how else to interpret them. It feels like I'm a doomed case and I don't really know what to do with this. I'm sorry if this is a lot, you don't have to answer of course if you don't want to. Thank you anyway, I hope you have a nice day <3

my queerness (i am a lesbian as well) felt like a huge impediment to my finding a place for myself in theology. then i realized that god calld me to theology because my voice was needed there: because change for the community doesn't happen without risk to the self. islam, judaism, and christianity are all historically kinder to queerness than they initially appear, or at least than it appears their current adherents would make them out. for instance in classical arabic and islam there existed mukhannathun, gender-variant people, without shame or guilt, accepted as innately queer and made this way by god; and there are eight genders in the talmud, six in rabbinical literature, and halacha recognizes intersex and non-conforming genders. the long thread of homosexual condemnation in the hebrew bible is, in all actuality, a condemnation of rape and incest. the events at sodom involve the people of sodom desiring non-consensual sexual contact with angels. the word angels in genesis 19 is malak, a messenger: this would be an act of defilement which, in hebrew esoteric tradition, is akin to that which caused the fall of angels from heaven. similarly in the new testament allusions to homosexuality are made in the context of worshipping other gods, participating in temple prostitution, or incest; it is not the act itself which is condemned because it is inherently homosexual or deviant, but rather the intention behind the act that is wrong.

contemporary praxis has lost this ease with bodies, although contemporary theology struggles to retrieve it. if god is calling you to faith, he will not ask you to abandon your body- nor your desires, your love, your pleasure, your instinct, your intuition. these too are holy. misuse and abuse is not. god made you in his image. no person can truly deny the goodness of god that is present in you. they may attempt it but such is only words and inherently loveless. the apostle paul writes that if i speak in the tongues of men or of angels [if i now all the scriptures and they are inscribed on my heart] but have not love, i am only a resounding gong or a clanging symbol. if i have a faith that can move mountains but have not love, i am nothing. go where you see love reflected to you. god is there. if you see love in personal study and belief, god is there. i am not part of a formal religion for reasons other than my queerness, and i don't feel this inhibits my relationship with god; i know i will get there someday. but if organized religion is something to which you strongly feel god is calling you, trust him: in a very practical sense, there are lgbtq affirming churches, mosques, and synagogues that will identify themselves as such- i highly encourage you to see if anything like this exists in your area, or if there are any that offer online worship. reach out to religious leaders here and talk to them: they will always, always, be happy to speak to you. anyone who is without love does not know god.

Bloodmoon Huntress preview stuff

Okay so:

Spoilers, obviously, if you haven't seen the first 8 9 pages of Bloodmoon Huntress from Apple Books!

If you wanna, here's a post that has them

Just my thoughts and observations on stuff in these pages, please enjoy!

Page 1

the moon's a waning crescent when Laindrin departs so even if the full moon when the plot takes place - per the description - is the very next full moon, Ruthari and Rayla will have a couple weeks to adjust to each other

the backpack Lain was carrying was full of stuff for Rayla - even though her belongings had already been brought to Ruthari's tree house, it seems - that's such a dad thing omg, "stuff for the trip"

Ethari's a hugger and a crier, and Runaan is... neither

Runaan just chilling in his soft dark gloves slkfjslkfjsd

Page 2

Lain and Ethari both nudging their spouse with an elbow to remind them to be soft with Rayla - sldfjsfd who picked this up from whom

Page 3

Lain's nervous hands when Rayla isn't looking

oh man, Laindrin went to report for duty without knowing how long it would last

Battle Couples are canon, lol, they had to go as a pair to fulfil their duty

Page 4

haaaands, hand holding, holding of hands

angery Rayla wanting to go with her parents to make them as strong as possible is the cutest and angstiest thing - she calls them on their explanation and she should!

Lain saying she has so much growing up to do, compared with how Runaan tells her in the first snippet we got that she's too young to understand things, is only adding to Rayla's anger and isolation issues... poor kid...

Page 5

Laindrin genuinely don't want to leave Rayla - MY HEART

MOONBERRY - Tiadrin calls Rayla "Moonberry", I'm dead of cuteness

a promise to be back as soon as you can doesn't hold a lot of weight if no one knows how long that will be

Page 6

in the first set of colored panels we got a while back, of Ruthari and Rayla at breakfast time, the husbands have cups and etc colored in each other's colors - super adorable. In these new pages, Ethari's crying on the first page, and when we see him a second time, he's holding a purple handkerchief and Runaan has his hand on Ethari's shoulder to comfort him. Later, Ethari offers a turquoise handkerchief to Rayla. If the husbands really lean into that "each other's colors" thing, that means Runaan gave Ethari his purple handkerchief when he saw him crying, and then Ethari tried to give Rayla his own, unused turquoise one. Runaan doesn't say a lot, but he's very attentive to Ethari and he acts quickly to take care of him whenever he can. Please bury me for I am now deceased!

Ethari interrupting Runaan's prickly reply to invite Rayla "home"

Page 7

and then Runaan having had apparently no participation in prepping it, despite Ethari's use of "we"

D A R L I N G ✨ with the elbow nudge!! This has totally happened before, a lot, Runaan knows just what to do when he's prompted like that

Rayla shutting Ethari down about "home" and "family"... ouch! Poor soft craftsman

Page 8

love the way they've shown the mounts looking hurt at Rayla's sharp words, as stand-ins for their elves... I imagine that's how Runaan and Ethari feel on the inside, even if they try to hide it by leaning on the table/crossing arms

Runaan's panicked slide as he sees Rayla looking to her left, his pointing even though she can't see it - he is desperate to direct her to her own room instead of the one she's closer to walking into... Runaan honey... what did you forget to tidy away this morning, hmm? Anything... embarrassing? (he will never forget again)

Runaan's zip back to Ethari's side as Rayla slams the door, to put a steadying hand on his arm as he winces against the loud noise... with the way Ethari really jumps in the sketched panel we got earlier, when Rayla and Runaan both slam doors, it seems he might have a sensitivity to loud sounds... which is Ungood for a craftsman who makes lots of metal weaponry! Poor Ethari - but Runaan understands and helps - when he isn't the cause himself

Runaan's moonstrider yoinking the bow off her head!! OMG such a fussy creature, gosh gosh - she must put up with a lot for love of Runaan

THE SHADOWPAW IS VERY SMALL??

the secret angst that seems to be lurking behind Runaan's "She will adjust. She has no choice." As if he knows exactly what that's like!

EXCUSE ME BUT IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THOSE CUTE PINK MUFFINY THINGS ARE MOONBERRY SURPRISE

Page 9

in the morning shot, Rayla's sass of Ethari feels more mean-spirited now that we have context - like she's blaming him for not being her parents

Page 10 (?)

Runaan still had a rough night at work, but I wonder if part of his grumpy squiggle-thought is for the way Rayla is sassing his poor soft husband when he is genuinely trying to be a lot nicer than Runaan has the spoons for

"The Rising Star of Protection, Starwitch Aegis!"

First Draft of Winter design is here, please do send opinions and thoughts I would like that. It's actually really funny I'm going from the most "energetic" to the most "put-together" per say. It's hard to show without visuals but Kinkajou is very explosive and energetic, especially in battle while Winter is just a lot calmer and tactical.

Winter's designation was so easy to choose, it was going to be protection it could not be anything else. The name was a bit harder but Aegis was such a cool one and I liked it a lot.

Design-wise Winter was very much inspired by both princes and traditional superheroes. There was so ballet thrown in there but that mostly disappeared as the design progressed. Still not completely happy with the skirt but the transparent (or, supposed to be transparent I'm not sure if it reads) fabric over it is nice I like it.

Gave him a hair heart thing cause...Winter cares a lot and I wanted to add a visual detail that hints at that.

I meant to throw this into Kinkajou's one too but I had a lot of fun sketches before solidifying the first draft so here's two sketches for both of them:

On lore stuff: Winter is the first of the Jade Winglet to become a magical girl (he becomes one right before the story) he's very dedicated to it. He's the star of protection of course he's gonna protect. He's actually quite well-known as a result.

On that, People know that magical girls exist, they get talked about and what not. Magic does also fix all the buildings after battle-

Aegis is very popular with kids, like, Winter can't really communicate well and is very awkward because he's still trying to kick the habit of acting like a "true Icewing Prince" (he's still a prince ILL GET TO THAT) but the kids love him. They go up to him after a battle and talk about how cool he is and he gets flustered every single time.

It actually takes him a while to join the Winglet because while Winter is very dedicated to being a magical girl he still got some Issues, so he usually helps the Winglet if they need it but doesn't join till much later when he finally accepts that he needs help and wants to be friends with them.

On the prince thing this place is still one continent with multiple kingdoms, this is also vaguely modern day. Don't worry about the specifics that much I don't really think it's that important so just assume it's like canon WoF but modern day + extra world building since they should have more details than just "likes fruit" or "Literally nothing for the Mudwings"

On the DoD then actually really quickly, I imagine there not magical girls and I don't really want to handle a war since that's just feels like a tone shift I can't recover from for this magical girl au. I would have to account for the fact that magical girls exist and probably participated and were used in war and all that baggage I Don't Want To. This AU goes places but that is one I don't want to go to.

So no war, the DoD are are still teachers though and Glory is still queen. I'm leaving it vague on what there doing.

There's other stuff but this is getting long so I'm stopping now. Next up is Turtle!

[essskel]

my brain is poopoo i forgot to add one thing sorry again 😭

i don't think the scoia'tael could ever change their mind about roche and ves simply because they're wiping out their race. no matter the cause the elves would never forgive them nor would they wanted to cooperate with them in any way unless it's convenient. they can't just say 'oh i was just protecting my country but now im different let me help you' and the elves would forgive them or let them near. they don't need their pity nor they help. the least they can do is leave them alone and help non-humans other ways.

this is the main reason why i can't bring myself to ship rorveth...yes they respect each others abilities in canon but that doesn't erase the fact that roche is still an oppressor (again no matter the motives) and iorveth would only force himself to work with him but never respect him as a person and be "besties". neither would roche tbh because iorveth is no saint and also killed his fair share of innocent people. they fucked up each others lives too much for their relationship to "work" and there's no place in their heart for forgiveness.

okay i won't bother you and your inbox anymore. this is pretty much everything i wanted to say so take care!

Under the cut cause my answer was rambly and I'm trying to save people's dashes lol

Yeah that's pretty much how I feel about the Scoiatael too! I do think Iorveth would eventually accept Roche's help maybe in a military venture if he really needed it and if Roche was genuinely offering, or that they could get past their issues with each other in order to work through a crisis. They do genuinly share a enemy in Nilfgaard, and Roche's inability to see that is his downfall. But then once the immedaute crisis is over... why would Iorveth stick around or even let Roche walk away cleanly?

I just think this is something that can only exist in fanfic, and can maybe be fun or interesting to think about/read about when expanding on the possibilities of their characters, but I personally wouldn't WANT it to be canon, because it would create inconsistencies in both their stories and established motives - which you did say in your last ask, I'm agreeing! (I mean I don't want true friendship/romance, not them being forced to work together. I want that. That would be fun. RIP Iorveth at the battle of Kaer Morhen :( you should have been there king!)

(about your other ask) Idk, I actually don't have any issue with people labeling Roche as a flat out monster. If you're coming at it as someone who's primarily sympathetic to the Elves, it's like you said, it really doesn't matter what his motives or situation was, he was participating in their violent oppression as a leader. He still has a lot of fans who won't acknowledge how evil his work pre-tw2 was, that's a greater problem to me (not talking about you ofc). And Iorveth...lmao other than him be willing to let those women die in the burning building, I can't help but cheer for his bloody methods of justice in ways the Blue Stripes will never get out of me. It's the witcher, everyone's burned a few churches, at least Iorveth was doing it for a good cause 😩

As for Roche, I personally I like him best as a metaphor for armed patriotism - perhaps more historical than modern, but I think both work. Men born into poverty who are coerced into the military by governments that don't value them at all (but like to give them medals as propaganda/empty motivation) while only using them as tool in their violence against other nations/people. Being devalued, abused, covered in blood, becoming a mass murderer all for some paltry veteran discounts and a lifetime of trauma. That's the character work I'd want to see with him, but for future witcher games, I'd be much happier to see Iorveth come back and regain his spotlight, so who really knows.

This is long as hell sorry, thanks for sharing your thoughts I appreciate the conversation!!

♥ Introducing King Jaehyun's family! ♥

Jung Yoonoh Jaehyun, King Jaehyun

Our Queen Aera's soulmate and to our King Jaehyun, Aera will always be his greatest and forever love

but at the same time, she is his greatest sorrow

Jaehyun is, and has always been lucky that he had support from the people he loves - he received helping hands on raising his 6 kids, the people who helped him has been personally approached by Aera herself, back when she was still in Wonderland

Aera and Jaehyun are like star-crossed lovers, circumstances doesn't allow them to be together

honestly, Jaehyun doesn't take it well for like a few years - according to the Neo royal housemaids and royal knights, whenever they walked passed King Jaehyun's room, there are days that they could hear muffled cries and other days they would hear objects being thrown here and there followed by loud screams of frustration.

everyone kind of knew what or whom made him all crazy and thank goodness the children weren't in the palace during these days - those days were called as 'one of those nights' by Jaehyun

and those nights continued until his condition got worse with Jaehyun falling really sick and somehow his 'vampire' side out of nowhere came alive which was him craving for blood so bad for unknown reason

hence he unknowingly drank blood of the royal housemaids in result of killing them - as traumatizing as this sounds, the twins Jinyoung and Junyoung who were just 16, kind of figured out what their father has been going through after noticing more royal housemaids going missing

with the help of the twins along with Aeria as the older sister guided them with the studies of healing from cosmic energy, as well Jia's cordial, Jaehyun finally felt much better - receiving the positive energy thanks to the his children

fast forward, because of that incident, Jaehyun felt guilty of what he has done at the same time, he felt like he made Aera and the kids disappointed - so he decided to do what Aera has always been doing, even when she settled down

which was to help the people all around Wonderland who are suffering with different issues, hence Jaehyun brings along with the eldest two of the Jung siblings to help settle issues that was occuring in Wonderland - they sail all around Wonderland and went to wars (and this was after defeating the great battle of the Ice Warlock)

and also, with the help of his brothers - mainly Yuta, Winwin, Lucas, Renjun, Jeno and Jaemin, he set up a business & law firm known as JUNG Corporation.

The company provides services regarding accounting and consultations, providing assistance to the ones in need regarding healthcare and education.

♥ Jung Junwon Peter

Jung Junwon Peter, well-known as both Prince Peter and Prince Junwon, is a remarkable young man with a striking appearance and a sense of responsibility beyond his years. As the firstborn son of King Jaehyun and Queen Aera, he carries the weight of expectations and the role of leader for the Jung siblings. At 23 years old, Junwon embodies the title of "golden boy," originally bestowed upon him due to his naturally golden hair, which has since transformed into a slightly dirty blonde shade.

Physically, Junwon is a blend of his parents' features, creating a captivating and unique appearance. While he inherited Jaehyun's eyes initially, over time, they have taken on a resemblance to Aera's, causing confusion even among the other members of the royal family. It is as if Junwon embodies the best qualities of both his parents, both in terms of appearance and strength. He shares his mother's fortitude and his father's determination, which has proven invaluable in his participation in numerous battles alongside his father and sister.

Despite being revered by many as the golden boy, Junwon remains humble and clueless when it comes to matters of the heart. While his good looks may lead others to assume he has been in relationships, the truth is that he is completely inexperienced and often oblivious to romantic advances. His sisters, Aeria and Jia, worry about his lack of knowledge in this area and have taken it upon themselves to offer guidance through personal discussions.

A gentleman and mature man in public, Junwon's true nature shines through when he is with his family. Although he can be a bit rough with his brothers, he deeply cares for them. His softer side emerges when he interacts with his sisters, but it is Jia who holds a special place in his heart. Junwon's affection for Jia is evident, and he finds himself acting like a fool for her.

Brave and adventurous like his mother, Junwon has proven his mettle by fighting in countless battles alongside his father and sister. One particular accomplishment he takes pride in is his involvement in the slaying of the red-eyed alpha king. He once used to be a Mummy's boy, but with Aera's return to Earth, Junwon has found solace and inspiration in looking up to Jaehyun. Despite his mother's absence, Junwon never resents her, believing that she is always watching over him from afar.

While Junwon is initially destined to follow in his father's footsteps as the next crowned prince, his future path remains uncertain. Although he is expected to assume the role, Jaehyun, recognizing his son's potential, encourages him to pursue further studies instead, given his own good health and vitality. As a result, Junwon finds himself in a state of confusion, torn between his duty and his personal aspirations.

♥ Jung Aeria Venusia

Publicly known as both Princess Venusia or Princess Aeria, Jung Aeria Venusia is a captivating and radiant young woman who exudes beauty and possesses extraordinary powers, much like her mother, Queen Aera. As the first daughter of King Jaehyun and Queen Aera, Aeria, at 22 years old, embodies her mother's youthful traits, characterized by her breathtaking appearance and a touch of rebelliousness.

Inheriting her mother's force-field generation ability and cosmic energy, Aeria's powers were no surprise to her family, as Aera had forewarned them of her daughter's unique abilities. Physically, Aeria is a mirror image of her mother during her younger years, which only enhances her allure. However, as she grew older, Aeria also developed a nurturing and motherly nature, taking on the responsibility of caring for her younger siblings, Yoel, Jia, and the twins.

Aeria's childhood was marked by her love for cooking and a fondness for gardening, which showcased her nurturing side and her connection with nature. She stepped into her mother's shoes to provide care and guidance for her siblings, especially during challenging times when her brother Yoel faced difficulties with his home-schooling. A fierce advocate for her brother, Aeria fearlessly confronted the professors in Neo, unknowingly revealing her glowing pink eyes—a testament to her immense power.

Being a spitting image of her mother, Aeria possesses a deep admiration for Aera, which earned her the title of a true Mummy's girl. She constantly looks up to her mother, even during Aera's absence, thanks to the stories shared by their father and the support of their extended family, including the Neo uncles and Morian aunties. Consequently, Aeria harbors no resentment or hatred toward her mother, fostering a deep sense of love and respect.

At the tender age of 14, Aeria experienced a powerful connection with her mother when she managed to communicate with her while Aera was on Earth. However, the strain of channeling such immense power resulted in Aeria falling gravely ill the next day. Determined not to succumb to sadness, Aeria believes that expressing sorrow weakens her powers, a belief reinforced by past experiences when her powers diminished after her first heartbreak involving Prince Jaebeom's son.

Aeria's resemblance to her mother extends beyond her physical appearance, as she has also engaged in battles alongside her older brother and father. However, her powers manifest in a distinctive pinkish glow, setting her apart from Aera's signature red glows. Despite her exceptional abilities and adventures, Aeria has also experienced the ups and downs of teenage romance. She was in a relationship with Prince Jaebeom's son, Lim Leon Juno, which was marked by their on-again, off-again dynamic, becoming the talk of their school before Aeria set sail for other parts of Wonderland, leaving her education behind.

♥ Jung Yoel Evander

Jung Yoel Evander, publicly known both as Prince Evander and Prince Yoel, the second son of King Jaehyun and Queen Aera, possesses a striking resemblance to his mother and holds a unique place within the royal family as the middle child. At 20 years old, Yoel is shy around strangers but maintains impeccable politeness, earning him admiration from royal princesses and girls in general. His demeanor exudes a prince-like quality, characterized by his reserved nature and the ability to speak only when necessary.

While Yoel may be reserved with outsiders, he displays a different side with his own family. Known for his sharp wit and sarcastic comments, he doesn't hesitate to engage in banter or share his opinions. This occasionally leads to stubbornness, especially when clashing with his older brother, Junwon. Yoel possesses his father's deep laughter and the frowns that reflect Jaehyun's contemplative nature.

Yoel plays a vital role as Junwon's right-hand man and has proven himself to be a skilled swordsman, earning the approval of both Junwon and their father, King Jaehyun. During their school days, Yoel would stand by Junwon's side, supporting him in fights that arose due to others mocking the belief in their mother's existence. This unwavering loyalty showcases Yoel's strong bond with his family.

In addition to his familial relationships, Yoel shares a close friendship with Lee Yujin Anaria, the daughter of Taeyong and Aurelia, as well as Moon Taegeun Scorpio, the son of Taeil and Queen Zelenia. His polite and gentlemanly demeanor adds to his charm, reflected in his habit of placing his hands behind his back.

Yoel possesses extensive knowledge of mystical creatures and has a special connection with them. His childhood best friends include a dragon named Green, a gift from Grandma Kim, and a gryphon named Speed, bestowed upon him by Queen Aerina. These mythical creatures have become a significant part of Yoel's life, offering companionship and aid when needed.

Participating only in the great battle against the Ice Warlock and Aerina's royal household, Yoel proved his mettle alongside his older siblings. This battle held immense significance as many of Aerina's citizens from previous generations were lost. Yoel's life was nearly taken during this encounter, saved by Green the dragon and supported by Speed the gryphon, as well as the intervention of the twins. Although injured deeply, Yoel's life was saved through Jia's healing powers and Junyoung's assistance.

However, due to the traumatic experience, King Jaehyun forbid Yoel from returning to the battlefield. Unaware of the true reason behind his father's decision, Yoel believes he is being treated as a child, leading to disagreements between him and Jaehyun. These conflicts further fuel Yoel's desire to prove himself as a capable and independent individual.

Furthermore, Yoel serves as an assistant to Jia in caring for the twins, the sons of King Jaehyun and Queen Aera. This responsibility demonstrates Yoel's nurturing side and his commitment to supporting his family in any way he can.

♥ Jung Jia Valentia

Known as Princess Valentia and Princess Jia, Jung Jia Valentia, the second and youngest daughter of King Jaehyun and Queen Aera, is a 19-year-old with a unique blend of characteristics inherited from both her parents. With a face shape and nose resembling her mother's, Jia holds a special place in Jaehyun's heart, who fondly bops her nose as a child. Her appearance reflects a mixture of both her parents, showcasing their shared traits.

Jia possesses a charming and slightly flirtatious nature, which makes her charismatic and captivating to others. However, she also experiences moments of introversion, becoming more reserved. Her casual demeanor towards everyone often requires Yoel's guidance in matters of royal etiquette.

Compassion and empathy define Jia's character, as she is filled with a deep concern for the well-being of others. She demonstrates a shy nature but displays a boost in confidence when she feels comfortable in her surroundings. Jia is also known to be somewhat sensitive, making her highly attuned to the emotions of those around her.

Faith plays a significant role in Jia's life, particularly when it comes to magic and her belief in her mother's return. Jia vividly dreams about her mother, witnessing Aera surrounded by children. Seeking answers, she visits the Athenian palace to consult her cousin and best friend, Moon Taeri Celeste, daughter of Taeil and Queen Zelenia. Taeri confirms the truth of Jia's dreams, explaining that Aera is currently on Earth but it is not yet time for her to return to Wonderland. This revelation strengthens Jia's faith, and she patiently awaits her mother's eventual return, even if it takes centuries.

Currently on a break after graduating from high school, Jia aspires to assist the royal family while planning to continue her education next year. Her desire leads her to enroll in her Uncle Doyoung's renowned school, where she intends to study astronomy, inspired by her sister, and delve into the studies of magical creatures and magic in general.

Jia's love for animals is boundless, including even the creatures that many dislike, such as snakes, spiders, and insects. She shares a passion for caring for and understanding animals, drawing her towards a future career as a veterinarian. Despite people assuming she would pursue prestigious roles like a royal doctor or high-class jobs, Jia's true calling lies in nurturing and healing the animal kingdom.

Not only is Jia known for her unique appearance, particularly her naturally born orange hair, but she has also gained recognition for her exceptional academic achievements. Throughout her high school years, Jia consistently earned straight A's, establishing a reputation for academic excellence.

♥ Jung Jinyoung Jonah

Jung Jinyoung Jonah, also known as Prince Jonah and Prince Jinyoung, is an 18-year-old fraternal twin to Jung Junyoung Joel, who is known as 'Jinnie' by his twin. With a striking resemblance to his father Jaehyun, Jinyoung carries a blend of Jaehyun's features with a touch of Aera's sharpness. He exudes a bad boy persona, being labeled as the tsundere and mysterious one among the Jung siblings.

Sporting full sleeve tattoos on his arms, Jinyoung intimidates everyone around him, including the royal housemaids. His piercing gaze and perpetually clenched jaw give him an air of unhappiness, leading others to fear his presence. However, behind this façade, Jinyoung is exceptionally observant, often saving the housemaids from potential trouble caused by royal guests, a role they are unaware he fulfills.

The garden holds a special place in Jinyoung's heart, where he finds solace and ease. It was a space he and his siblings once shared, spending time together, having tea, and indulging in gardening activities. Resembling his father, Jinyoung possesses Jaehyun's intense eyes, which can mirror cold gazes and annoyance, much like a viral video of Jaehyun at an airport, enduring fan invasions.

Jinyoung frequently finds himself in trouble with professors, particularly during his time at Neo Palace. He shares a strong dislike for the royal system, knowing that his mother was forced to return home, which fuels his resentment towards the royal family. However, he remains unaware of the circumstances surrounding his mother's departure.

Like his oldest sister and mother, Jinyoung possesses extraordinary powers. Specifically, he wields cosmic energy, similar to his sister Aeria, but his abilities mainly revolve around manipulating others. He possesses formidable telepathic powers, distinguishing him from his older siblings. Jinyoung's reservations with strangers, particularly those from royal families, translate into an indifference towards nobles and royal highnesses, earning him labels such as "rude," "arrogant," and a "heartbreaker."

Currently residing in Athenian Palace, where his uncle Taeil and his family reside, Jinyoung enjoys a break from school. He attends the School of Neo, along with his twin, as members of the House of Aerina. The strained relationship with his father, King Jaehyun, serves as another reason for his stay in Athenian Palace. Jinyoung feels that Jaehyun has been absent during critical moments in his life, though Jaehyun persistently attempts to soothe his son's heart. Interestingly, Jinyoung possesses the power to manipulate his father mentally, adding another layer of complexity to their relationship.

While he may project a rough and closed-hearted exterior, Jinyoung shares a deep bond with his siblings, albeit in his own unique ways. He listens to Grandma Kim, Aeria, and Jia, valuing their guidance. Despite enjoying teasing Jia, he is exceptionally close to her. Additionally, his similarities with Yoel bring them closer, though Yoel embodies a softer personality, contrasting Jinyoung's roughness. Lastly, Jinyoung's twin, Junyoung, holds an irreplaceable place in his life, as Jinyoung cannot imagine a day without his presence.

Ultimately, only those closest to him truly understand Jinyoung's character. Behind the rough exterior lies someone who harbors a deep desire to help those in need, a trait that emerges when given the opportunity to showcase his true nature.

♥ Jung Junyoung Joel

Publicly known as both Prince Joel and Prince Junyoung, JungJunyoung Joel, also affectionately known as "Junnie," is the youngest of the Jung siblings and the younger twin of Jung Jinyoung Jonah. With his bright-colored hair, particularly platinum blonde, Junyoung stands out as the brighter and more carefree twin. In his early years, there were jokes about him being swapped with one of Doyoung's children due to his unique hair color. However, his resemblance to his parents became evident as he grew older, sporting Aera's eyes during infancy, which eventually transformed into a resemblance to Jaehyun.

Known for his fashion sense, Junyoung inherits his father's impeccable style. He is also the more exuberant and boisterous twin, often heard laughing or loudly expressing himself while playing board games or video games with the generals. His infectious laughter and passionate outbursts are reminiscent of Jaehyun to the extent that Neo royal housemaids mistook Junyoung's presence for that of King Jaehyun himself.

Junyoung assumes the role of mediator between Jinyoung and those with whom his twin has conflicts. Whenever Jaehyun and Jinyoung argue, Junyoung finds himself in the middle, utilizing his powers to separate and defuse the situation. However, he often faces scolding for using his powers on his father, even though he takes it lightly and doesn't let negative or disheartening words affect him. Junyoung possesses an uncanny ability to let negative words pass through one ear and out the other, refusing to let them take root in his heart.

The bond between Junyoung and Jinyoung is unbreakable, as wherever Jinyoung is, Junyoung is sure to follow. They are inseparable, despite Jinyoung occasionally complaining about Junyoung being a troublemaker. Both twins possess the same powers: cosmic energy manipulation, but Junyoung is less skilled in the manipulation aspect. However, his exceptional ability lies in clairvoyance, granting him the power to see things from a distance and perceive events beyond his immediate surroundings. This ability allows him to catch glimpses of their mother on Earth, though he is aware of the dangers of interfering in the mortal realm.

In addition to clairvoyance, Junyoung has inherited his mother's healing abilities, capable of restoring health to living beings. He also shares strong telepathic powers with Jinyoung, enabling him to hear his twin's thoughts from a distance. Their connection runs deep, and Junyoung can sense Jinyoung's presence even when they are physically apart. Together, they possess remarkable power, as demonstrated when they intervened to stop their father, Jaehyun, from succumbing to his bloodlust during a period of intense grief. Jinyoung forcefully put Jaehyun to sleep, while Junyoung expended tremendous energy to heal their father, enduring physical strain in the process.

Currently residing in Athenian Palace, where their father, Junwon, and Aeria have sailed to different parts of the islands, Junyoung and Jinyoung remain inseparable. Junyoung frequently visits Yoel and Jia in Neo Palace, participating in various activities and social gatherings with his cousins. He often brings Jinyoung along, particularly for grand dinners or birthday celebrations organized by their extended family.

Junyoung serves as the bridge between Jinyoung and everything that Jinyoung deems unnecessary to know. While Jinyoung maintains a rocky relationship with Jaehyun, Junyoung harbors deep affection for his father. He acts as a messenger, conveying Jinyoung's feelings and health updates to Jaehyun. Junyoung also endeavors to help Jaehyun soothe Jinyoung's heart, although he sometimes struggles to understand his twin's emotions due to Jinyoung's self-imposed mental barriers.

For the fellow named as *checks writing on my hand* Blue Oak: Hey there 👀 I'm curious, is there anything you really like about Miel?

Additional question: Hey where ya got that heart necklace from 👀👀 seems to be meant for a couple to match with... hm?

Blue watched you read your hand with a raised eyebrow.

“What, you didn't know who I am? Really? Gym Leader, temporary Kanto Champion?” the word temporary tasted bitter in his mouth when he said it, bringing that sour moment from his journey as a kid. Champion... for less than an hour. Ugh.

But his bad mood dissipated in the blink of an eye when you mentioned that name. It was like a switch was flipped, he went from salty bitch to radiant.

“You know my teammate? Pretty amazing, isn't she?” he cleared his throat after his outburst, going back to usual his 'cool' guy self. “I mean, she isn't half-bad. She learns fast, knows when to listen—but she oughta grow thicker skin! She keeps coddling her Pokemon after each battle: petting them, caressing them, giving them kisses, all that... Like, c'mon! Really?! In front of m--us?!”

He huffed, seemingly annoyed. When you pointed out his necklace though, he looked down to the red piece hanging around his neck. It looked incomplete.

“Ah, this?” he puffed up his chest, showing off the necklace. A peacock is what he was. “Got it way back at the Battle Tree, a freebie for participating, and 'cause I'm the coolest dude around! Apparently some people there believe these necklaces bring fated people together or whatever, I just wear it 'cause I lost my old necklace!” It felt strange to him, not to feel something around his neck. He'd be wearing the old one since he was a kid. Surely Daisy won't be too sad about it. She doesn't need to know, anyway.

There was a brief silence after those words. You could practically hear him think before he went on. He crossed his arms over his chest, breaking eye contact.

“.... Well, being honest with ya, I'm only wearing half of it. It's supposed to be a heart, you know? Miel's got the other half—look, it's personal, alright?!”

[finnuf]

{  * vague silhouettes  }

even with the amount finn has changed through the years, one thing stays the same: finn loves fighting. maybe he can credit it to growing up in a country constantly at war, or maybe, no matter where he was born, he would have the overwhelming urge to show off his swordplay. he fought for his life in etlia when he was young, then fought for his life in the arenas in podakko after he fled. now, despite most of the continent being thrust into war, matters are not so dire for finn. not yet, anyway.

but there are still fighting contests at the lotus festival this year, and finn would not be himself if he didn't participate at least a little. just one fight, he told asher, and then, once he won, just one more, then i'm on a winning streak, i can't quit now. once he passed a certain threshold, he wanted to see who could best him; if anyone could.

it took a while, actually. several of his challengers failed, until finally, a warrior with muscles insinuating he could snap finn like a twig approached. finn didn't let that intimidate him. after all, the sword is about far more than raw strength. if anything, speed is more important, and finn likes to think he excels in that area.

it was a tough fight, but in the end, finn, already mildly beaten and bruised from a dozen fights prior, was defeated. he still collected a decent amount of gold from his winstreak, so he couldn't complain much.

there are tents not far from the festival's fighting ring, specifically set up for healers to tend to any wounds received in the friendly battles. finn doesn't feel too bad, but he figures it's probably best to get a heal spell, if only so he isn't too sore on the night of the campus's anniversary.

what he doesn't expect to see is a familiar face. he pauses outside the tent at the sight of her. park valora. it seems they keep running into each other, year after year, sweet childhood interactions turned sour thanks to their families ending up on opposite sides of the same war. her father is one of gleerium's most storied generals, after all. finn wonders if he ever thinks about having etlia to thank for that; if he feels sorry to the people that died to earn him that title.

finn's people that died. when he was younger, yet old enough to understand the realities of war, that's all he ever thought of when he saw valora. spoiled little girl, living all peaceful and pretty in her fancy home in the gleerian capital, oblivious to the corpses the lucinier priests failed to bring back to life every single day; the amount of grief caused by her father's hand. she didn't know. she didn't care enough to know. maybe that was the worst part. they fought and went from friends to enemies, and did she ever once pause to really think of the suffering of the etlian people? finn doesn't know.

he still doesn't know, but he doesn't feel the animosity in his heart for her that he once did. it's not a fondness, either, exactly; it's...nothing. not quite apathy, but...neutrality, maybe. it's almost like looking at a stranger, but he doesn't know how. is he really so different now, that after their years of history, he feels so little when he sees her?

he doesn't know that either. it's an odd sensation, but he nods his head to her in greeting. "valora," he says her name, too, then sits down beside her, already seasoned in priests healing him thanks to all of the fights he's been in the past two years, and even before, the trouble he got into as a child.

"nothing serious. just bruises, really, but i want to be able to dance on the final night of the festival without suffering, so," he smiles crookedly. he doesn't know what to say to her. he doesn't know if he should ask her how her father is faring in the war against ganggyn with sincerity or if he should tell her he hopes he dies at the ganggyn's general dani.

he kind of just wants it to be over. he wants to know what peace is like. when etlia fell, and the war of the states was finished, he felt more upheaval in himself than ever before. now, maybe, something in him has settled, but misu and andreas fight against one another, and his people, once again, are caught in the crossfire. he has no choice but to keep fighting.

but who would i be if i wasn't fighting? he looks at valora, still not saying a word to her. who would we be without war? he wonders if they would be better.

[kxkarot]

I am selective of those I will interact with, if I don’t follow you back please do not take it personally, I may follow you down the road or I just am unsure how to interact. I’m used to only interacting with a few select people I trust so I’m working on opening up more. I have a tendency to write a lot, given the fact I let my mind run a bit. However I do check with my partners to make sure that my writing is okay for them and within their comfort, so that’s usually why I throw a message out asking if ‘was it okay’ or such as.

I don’t mind anyone correcting me on lore points that I get wrong and maybe Goku might be shipped, I’m not sure. it’s a possibility but not something I’m leaning into. He will be a slow burn or a plotted ship at best, I don’t feel comfortable immediately throwing him loving someone due to my own personal experiences and just how his character feels. That and also he has Chi-Chi.

I also have a bit of ADHD and can be prone to drop threads suddenly due to lack of interest or being unable to pick up an idea or find something to go off of. I will not tolerate bullying nor do I want to be dragged into any drama that doesn’t concern me, I come here to relax, not to worry myself. That being said I’m still here to talk to if needed. Triggers will be placed in the TW in General tag as things can get pretty dark.

This blog is going to be rated Mature because dark themes, TW or even more could take place. I’m not gonna shy away from blood and neither is Goku, if he has to do so to protect his friends, given that the franchise has it’s tendency to be downright dark to the core. However this is going to be mostly nice things around this place, isnt gonna be all doom and gloom. However please remember that this is an anime about fighting, it will get brutal.

Now let's dive to the Canon divergence.

Goku didn't exactly change until he had Gohan. While he wanted to train him he also understood that Chi-Chi wanted their son to be successful in a world he would never truly understand. He also began trying to understand more of a world that he never truly participated in but also defended fiercely. He wanted to grow in strength for that was his goal, his very blood called for battle and he could never truly abandon it. Gohan was a bridge, Saiyan and Human. Yet his power was tremendous at a young age and he wanted to teach him how to harness it. Namek only made that more, especially when he came back with the heart disease. Cell was an incredibly strong opponent and his son had power that could overshadow it. However, he made a promise and he swore to keep it. He would fight until his last breathe but the sight of his father about to die threw Gohan into the fight, doing his best to fight alongside him. Even still, Goku ended up sacrificing himself. He wanted to go home but thought it better to stay away. If he did maybe nobody would keep trying to attack earth?

Buu changed that outlook. He changed everything and ignited a fury set deep in his bones. Goku was overjoyed to be given life so he could rush down and save his family. It was too late. While Goku himself is prideful, he does bonk heads with Vegetta more or less about that pride. It has many times caused issues and he won't let him live that down. Not that he hasn't acknowledged his own mistakes. Goku tries to be active in his sons lives but does argue with Chi-Chi about how he will do the farm. He just also needs to keep training, he needs to keep getting stronger so he can protect them all.

Super is a mess all around so I will try my best here. Beerus comes and Goku argues big time with Chi-Chi about getting stronger, they all could have died had Beerus really decided to. He's not sure what changed the destroyers mind but now there are gods out there who will hurt his family if he doesn't find a way to climb the ranks. Yes he does take off to train with Whis, apologized to chi-chi later on. He continues rigorous training and starts opening his mind to being less careless. Goku Black introduces more intensity to his way of thinking but a brighter burning drive to protect his loved ones. Frieza nearly killing Gohan? Goku will never forgive Frieza and their fights are always aim to kill at that point. He disgusts him.

He never hires Hit to kill him. He starts the tournament of power hoping it'll save his universe, all that stuff. God's super is just a maze.

-

GT was awesome with it's ideas and transformation. Too bad that's not Canon. But I do have it where Goku found it and is slowly abandoning the super transformations in favor of SSJ4. It's design is just too cool to pass up along with all the abilities.

[tallbluelady]

Hello pls share more about X’rhun Tia’s fencing club for ladies

OKAY SO.

The very tl;dr of X'rhun Tia's Fencing Club for Ladies is that I saw firelightmuse's Yume and G'raha in some very pretty regency shots. It got me in the mood and I made some shots with Rowan and Urianger and had a few rambly posts. (And also a Hark! A Vagrant shitpost.)

That was going to be it until Netflix's Persuasion came out. I decided to watch some reviews before spending my time on it myself and... hoo boy, the critics were properly furious at the adaptation. I remember taking a walk after watching the reviews and my spitegoblin declared that could I write better. So I wrote two chapters in like two weeks, and then promptly ran out of steam. Turns out that writing Eorzeabeathan when you're trying to copy Ms. Austen's works is much more trying than I anticipated!

But, uh, I got it outlined if I ever get the energy to pursue it again. Under the cut cuz I'm wordy...

-Louisoix survives the battle of Charteneau. IDK how it happens, but he returns to Sharlyan and the Circle of Knowing just kind of vibes around Eorzea for the next five years.

-He hires X'rhun Tia and Arya to teach fencing/red magic for Alisaie and opens it up to the public.

-Alfinne's aether still gets messed up from Charteneau, but she's getting treated by Papalymo.

-Papalymo returns to Sharlyan, and invites Alfinne and Rowan to come with so he can keep treating her.

-Rowan meets Alisaie at the Fencing Club and then gets invited to various social functions through that connection.

-Which includes meeting Urianger.

-AND THEN because I decided there needed to be more drama, Emet-Selch is visiting Sharlyan as a diplomat.

-The group figures that he's not quite who he says he is, and Louisoix summons the others back to try and keep Sharlyan safe.

-This includes Moenbryda, who is just the embodiment of chaos to Urianger's and Rowan's slow and sweet romance.

-That gets resolved when she reveals that she's more interested in women at that point and starts dating Lyse.

-But not before she teases Rowan by setting up a fencing duel between the two of them for Urianger's heart.

-So all the Scions are there (maybe even Minfilia, I'm not sure where I would put her).

-And they're trying to figure out what to do with Solus (because Emet is the type of person who would name himself Napoleon when trying to hide the fact that he was Napoleon, emperor of France).

-And Rowan is learning Red Magic and is very good at it and the Fencing Club has like, a recital or what ever?

-And it catches Emet's eye cuz of course it does.

-So then he keeps trying to get her attention or what ever.

-And because this is all the most self-indulgent exercise anyways, he challenges Rowan to a fencing duel.-To ensure that she actually participates, he promises to have Garlemald cease all hostilities if she actually goes through with it, and to hunt down the Circle of Knowing if she does not.

-So obviously, Rowan agrees.

-But he also adds more to the wager! If she wins, he'll help their cause. But if he wins, she has to marry him!

-So, you know, drama.

-Because I'm going for an Austenian angle, Rowan ultimately wins.

-And then Urianger proposes and they all live happily ever after :)

There's also more regency flavoring to everything, like Forchenault doesn't really like Rowan's "wild influence" on his children, but that's what I got. Feel free to borrow ideas or what ever!

Needless to say the entire Trio of Ban, Diane, and King really like Straw. It's a much more open, albeit less confident, side of their captain they never expected to see. They're all very protective of hin too, with Ban insisting on giving Straw self defense lessons while King oversees training Straw how to use his magic. He can instinctively fight and has the ability to use Full Counter on reflex, but without his memories he's far from being able to properly fight and his subordinates want to remedy that as much as possible.

As for Elizabeth, she's joining in on the self defense lessons by learning how to use a dagger with King whenever he's not with Straw as well as balance practice with Diane. Afterall a clumsy and defenseless princess, no matter how brave, cam only be a liability in battle. He let her borrow a piece of Chastifol's increase form to practice with until they could get to Vaizel and buy her a proper dagger.

Overall that makes it so that by the time they reached Vaizel, Straw had enough control to participate in the Fight Festival and Elizabeth was far better at not spilling food all over the customers and can easily stab a man if pushed to do so. This come in use when Guila and Jericho return to cause problems but fight fest time!!!

Things go... really bad for Straw there. Ban picked the names again and ended up calling himself Baaaan and King got names Old Fart, but Straw kept the name Straw. Afterall he'd been going by that name 10 years and none of the Holy Knights know it so why change it!? Thay didn't stop them from having a collective heart attack when Howzer greets them and tries to talk to him, or Cain form recognizing him. And boy, does the fight between Cain and Straw get very intense since Straw, unfortunately, literally has no defense against Cain's attacks or accusations. He'd barely gotten a handle on Full Counter, much less knows about Counter Vanish, and he just outright doesn't remember him. He does still manage to calm Cain down... eventually. Mainly because Cain got it out of his system really and asked why he isn't fighting back and Straw is finally given a chance to explain that he doesn't defend himself because he literally can't. He doesn't even remember what his own name is, much less what his past is! It's all coming from the third party for him.

When Howzer almost recognized them, Straw his behind Bans legs. Multiple people have already recognized him despite the different name, this guy might, too. Needless to say, Straw almost falls over when Howzer goes "Ah, but the names are different!"

Cain agrees to come talk to Straw later on after the festival in the Boar Hat in relative privacy. He wants to talk to Straw of course and Straw also wants to know about himself and this man apparently knew him in the past or maybe his father? He's really not sure.

Bans self defense training is going really well. Straw seems to be a natural, and while Elizabeth was still a bit clumsy at first, she quickly got better as well. After a few days, Ban concluded that a sparring partner to train against would be best and nominated a Chastifol-less King, who was "just watching and doing nothing all the time anyway!". And King was powerless to do anything against the Fox Sin.

[ 🙏 ] what does your muse need? this can be something material or something abstract.

headcanons prompt

readmore bc this got long as hell some how

my first gut instinct is to say that above all else what she needs is family. i mean, pretty much her entire character is driven by it. of course there are facets of her personality that i think you can separate from this, but from the very get go you see how important her sister is to her.

she literally drops all of her plans to find brigid. she originally trained to become a knight but joins the nunnery to increase her chances of finding her sister, as displayed by her conversation with sigurd in chapter one:

Sigurd: “Edain… Didn’t you leave the knighthood to become a nun? I think it suits you perfectly. I’d do well to learn a thing or two from you myself.”

Edain: “Actually, the sole reason I joined the nunnery is… Well, it’s to aid the chances of finding my sister.”

putting aside that she's very much not your traditional religious fire emblem nun (i love that facet of her character so much but thats not what this is about LOL), it's clear that she's very driven to find her sister, which leads to the importance of family to her. her very reason to live for a long time is to see her sister again no matter the circumstances, and while she doesn't show it surface level i do think she doesn't quite act the same without brigid around. it's my personal headcanon that she decided she needed to be more mature and independent when she lost brigid; which was decided by herself and not really influenced by any outside forces like her father or her brother.

but around brigid? she loses that maturity, for the most part. she becomes somewhat of a child and really enjoys being pampered by her sister, for she didn't get to treasure that experience for a long part of her life.

including andrei in this as well, it really hurts her when brigid tells her she has to die. while i do think that her line with andrei if they battle is funny (alone on a friday night? pathetic.) , i don't think she enjoys or even wants to participates much in his death, given the conversation with brigid in chapter 5:

Edain: “Yes, he killed our dear father, and Annand as well. He must have been possessed by something evil to do such unthinkable things.”

Brigid: “Well, that doesn’t matter ’cause I’m going to kill him! His little killing spree is over. Edain, you’re with me on this, aren’t you?”

Edain: “Brigid…”

Briggid: “I wish there was another way, but the crimes he has committed weigh heavily on us as well. Look, I may go down for what I’m about to do. I just wanted you to understand my reasons.”

Adean: “Yes, Brigid.”

this entire conversation reads off as really sorrowful to me. she has such hope in him and doesn't believe he'd be capable of hurting others. and when brigid suggests killing him? i really think it breaks her heart, though she doesn't have the heart to fight back at all. she can't even bear the thought of losing him like that, even hearing all the evil things.

and, okay. hear me out. i might be looking into this too much i don't think edain is saying Yes, Brigid, to agreeing to kill him. when brigid tells her she's going to kill him? at first all she can do is say her sister's name. it is only when brigid asks if edain understands why that she says yes. she doesn't agree with killing him... but she understands brigid's reasons. even then, it's a bit of a reluctant yes in my mind.

in a perfect world, all edain would need is her family, happy and getting along.

So what's up with the Egg in this AU? Basically, it's part of the Entity that killed the Blood God and Aegis!Dream in the backstory.

For a slightly longer explanation: the Entity is based on a plant. And if you know anything about plants (mint, my beloathed) they can be really hard to get rid of. Not only that, but the Entity was aware that it was losing, and it split off a part of itself to go hide and re-grow. The Egg is the result of that, and it is both a "descendant" of the Entity and a "clone" of the Entity. It isn't quite the same thing as the Entity (yet. It hasn't hatched, after all), but it does have all its memories.

So how did this happen? Well, the original fight that I mentioned as part of the Karl-XD explanation was the last battle in an ongoing war, essentially. Aegis!Dream actually learned enough over the course of that war to write down information about the Entity's nature in their research journal (which c!Dream has in the present day). Unfortunately, the journal itself was lost when A!Dream was killed.

Shouldn't A!Dream have told the others what he suspected of the Entity? He did! But the fight basically ended in a mass-slaughter of the brainwashed forces of the Entity, the deaths of 2/6 of the godly participants, the extreme shock and grief from the other 2/6 participants that had been in a soul bond with the dead parties, and the last 2/6 in something of a crisis over the unneeded (unnatural) deaths caused by the Entity.

Like, the Blood God was dead. His Aegis ripped out his heart so she could keep fighting and is now having a crisis over it the moment the fight is done. A!Dream, their healer, is dead, and XD doesn't even have the shards left. A!Dream died saving DreamXD, so there's massive survivor's guilt there, too. This is the first time any god or Aegis has died, ever, and it is kind of overwhelming the Goddess of Death and her Angel. Also, the Entity absolutely used it's abilities to trigger the deaths of all the surviving brainwashed civilians it was puppetting when it wasn't their time to die yet, so there's a mess with how their domain is even functioning right now.

None of them were in any fit state to continue the fight. The fact that they were able to get rid of all the remaining bits they knew about before they all fell apart even further is something of a miracle. Should they have called for help on this? Absolutely. But the Blood God, the Goddess of Death, and the Chaos of Life are not the sort of gods with the personality to call for help, especially after they've "won."

So they miss the Egg. It grows in secret on the server (DreamXD's server) where it first invaded the universe. The Entity wasn't a natural spawn, after all. It was something Eldritch and monstrous, that corrupted the code it touched in an effort to take control. The Egg is like that, too, though it does have a bit of a camouflage. The Egg is the Egg because it is mimicking, the best it can, the code of an Ender Dragon egg.

The Egg is subtler than the Entity before it. It knows that it can't pick a fight with gods just yet. But there aren't gods here, just one, and that god doesn't even have an Aegis anymore. Still, it realizes that it needs something similar if it wants to fight on even terms. So it tries to corrupt Blades for its own.

The problem of Blades it that they are resistant to the Egg's control on their own. Corruption from the Egg can seep into them, through the Driver, but when they revert to core crystal and "lose" their data of their previous life, the corruption is purged as well. Hubert, through his Driver Billiam, is one of the first attempts at permanent Blade corruption.

c!Dream and c!Punz's initial Memory Patch creates a big glaring weak spot in this type of protection, unfortunately.

As of the main timeline of the DreamSMP, c!Skeppy and c!Badboyhalo are the most recent attempt at this. Unfortunately for them, their specific bond and Resonance is a complicating factor. They are much more tightly tied with each other than a regular Blade and Driver, and that makes them easier to influence.

The Egg is eldritch enough that it can see the ties between Blade and Driver, and it does use that to try and target the Drivers of the server when it is active. It does try and target c!Punz and c!Purpled. c!Techno and c!Philza stay out of reach until much later, so it is aware of them but can't get to them. c!Callahan's Driver is not on the server, which makes him functionally immune. c!Slime is a dormant core crystal at the moment, and has been since before the Entity, so the Egg does not know about him.

Using c!Skeppy and c!Bad, it does try to c!Dream and c!George. A large part of why c!Bad and c!Ant went to Staged Finale was to try and collect Dream's core crystal for the Egg. The Egg does not recognize Dream (or Hubert, before him) as Blades created from the shards of the Aegis Blade the Entity shattered.

The Egg is prioritizing control over the Blades on the server, so keeping Bad and Skeppy is much more important to it that c!Puffy. Its focus on the Blade-Driver pair diverted enough of its attention that she, as a regular Player, was able to escape the influence.

And all of these, plus the differences in Staged Finale, lead into why the timeline gets different and we veer away from the Stations of Canon for the rest of the plot! But in another post, because this one is getting long.
