I really like how both the first PiB movie and now Last Wish emphasize the legendary feats Puss has gone against for so many years even before Shrek 2, especially in Last Wish, and yet he caved in so easily against Shrek who's literally just some guy and couldn't even touch him when they first "fought".

Get this, baki bros as spidermen😩😩
no you right
And honestly your helping me indulge in two of my hyperfixations at once so thank you 😩. I’ve only got two right now, but if you have suggestions for who I should make the other Baki characters based off of, LET ME KNOW (low-key looking at @yandere-writer-momo 👀). I’ll take any excuse to make art of this stuff rn.

I love the extreme irony of Yujiro being an omega.. This big strong man, nicknamed "the ogre", literally the strongest creature on the planet becomes nothing but a submissive and breedable boy for seven days every three months.
Though it's likely that he'd use scent blockers and heat suppressants because his pride is too high for him to allow himself to embrace his omega instincts..

𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐓 ( 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐋: 𝑫𝑬𝑽𝑰𝑳 𝑵𝑰𝑵𝑨 ) | ✲・*:✲・*:・・
As per the poll over on my hub (months ago, everyone say thanks life!), also bc my girls been through enough let her be unhinged : For more info on this verse, see: 𝟏, 𝟐, 𝟑
❄️ - Goes without saying, Nina wasn't naturally born with the devil gene like Kazuya, Jin, and presumably Kazumi. Her DNA was biologically altered to converge with Ogre's, so technically she contains a mutated and imperfect form of the devil gene. (For new lovelies, this verse is based off the old fandom belief that Ogre was the og origin of the gene & the theory that Heihachi spliced Nina's blood w Ogre's during her cryosleep) Bc of this, and oversight on those responsible for Heihachi's experiments part, her body isn't naturally accustomed to it's effects, let alone built to handle them. It's likely each full on devil episode she has takes a tremendous toll on her body and overall health. To what extent however, remains unknown. Due in part to her own stubborn insistence on hiding and pushing through any pain she goes through to the best of her ability, and also in part to how Nina rarely experiences her devil transformation in it's full capacity (y'know, with the wings and the horns and all that good stuff).
❄️ - Bc I'm a sucker for symbolism, Nina's devil form design contains a few hints towards her connection with Ogre. First and most noticeably the markings on her skin - this was not intended to match Devil Jin's design, but actually Ogre's newer Tekken mobile design ( which... tbh I like better than the jolly green giant I'm sorry not sorry 🙏). Hence why she's more covered in them than Jin. — Her sclera turning black upon transforming is another similarity she shares with Ogre as well, to name a couple.
❄️- Oh you know her devil concerns were a big part of why she agreed to help Jin in T6 in this verse. Not just in regards to her devil, but lowkey also bc... if the experiments done on her in regards to the super soldier project are what resulted in her mutated devil gene... you know who else likely has it 😔 She's full on team this gene needs to be exterminated, no matter what. (Not that that can't change per plot of course)
❄️ - Devil Nina probably has an affinity with snakes, bc of the whole.. snake arm thing Ogre had going on. – Yeah she can't do that. But she probably thinks they're pretty neat.
❄️ - No Nina does not remember what happens when her devil takes over. But she is smart enough to surmise the gist of what occurred and realign the jumbled broken pieces of memory and reality. She's grown accustomed to that over the years unfortunately.
❄️ - Devil Nina on the other hand recalls all. Just as she thrives on the emotions Nina's buried over the years, she thrives off of the buried memories tied to them as well. While Nina still struggles to remember parts of her past, you might find that her devil remembers some missing subconsciously buried pieces down to the finest details. And she'd probably love to chat about them too whenever she's in a good mood. Just makes the emotions keeping her around stronger, right? 🤷‍♀️
❄️ - Finally not official per-say, but a thought I've considered: Devil Nina may have her own version of Nina's evil mist attack, only the secret to hers doesn't lie in dissolvable capsules. Since she consumes souls like Ogre, her digestive system obviously isn't... normal. It could be possible it can somehow convert remnants of the souls she consumes into a poisonous vapor? (Still iffy on the idea, but throwing it out there anyway, let me know what you think?)

@psychcdelica sent:  Does Wylan know where Jin gets his coffee from?  How does he react to a mermaid calling him 'Jinny'? ( @orderbourne​ )
Tumblr media
Scoob and I actually talked about this, and we thought it was fun that Wylan was the one who introduced Jin to Sunfish Pocket while they were heading home after a late night job. It’d fit as a way for introduction that makes sense, because otherwise why the hell else would Jin go to a maid cafe, right? Wylan’s peer pressure just keeps winning- you love to see it.
As for Jin’s involvement with a particular maid there, well, I think I mentioned this elsewhere but Wylan wouldn’t frequent Sunfish Pocket over any other cafe. He’s not sold on the underwater themes and there’s other cafes that are more up his alley. Wylan if you can believe it prefers the kind of study-friendly places like you’d see college students at. Bigger tables and sockets for plugging in devices. Even if he’s usually using a tablet, it’s where he likes to collect himself in the mornings.
So- as for the location of who calls him ‘Jinny’ we’re at a loss! And he wouldn’t suspect Sunfish Pocket because the first time they were there together you just know Jin complained the whole time and Wylan agreed not to take him back. Oh, the irony when he discovers the grump’s whereabouts...

"Couldn't agree with you more, Stelle!" And you know it's going to be bad. Each crick and pop of a joint as the man limbers up is like a whirr of life given to a great automaton. Muscle and bone he may be, but he'd put out the lights of anyone. Dead or alive. It's a damn shame, the brawler would love to get along with everyone and be a gentle giant but then you come across bastards like these slimy merchants and all that has to go out the damn window.

❝  you’ve got quite the mean streak in you,  haven’t you?  i’m impressed.  ❞ (y/n)
-👹
He turns toward you, a half-smile suddenly curving his lips. “ Mean streak? ” he echoes. “ Is that what you’d call it? ” He paces toward you, around you, hands tucked behind his back. “ Ambitious streak, perhaps. Efficient, to be sure. But I don’t think I’d consider myself mean. ”
His head cocks, and that smile sharpens at the edges. “ The game wasn’t designed by me, was it? How can I be faulted for simply playing? ” Perhaps his strategy was a bit less thoughtful of his fellow players, but he wasn’t even the cruelest competitor, was he? The most destructive?
No.
His hand rests on your shoulder, right at the base of your neck. It squeezes, should you try to pull away.
“ I didn’t think we’d ended up on such poor terms. I hate to hear it, truly. ” His grip tightens. “ I hadn’t realized you were such a loose end. ”
Your hand reaches back to claw at his wrist, but you find it rather impossible to break free.
“ Don’t worry. ” The edges of his smile promise to clip your wings for good. “ We’ll take care of it now. ”

Idk if you’re into omega verse but omg I just thought of it being applied to Yujiro and poor omega reader goddamn 😭 (I think I may have gone a little bit too far on this one ngl, also I’m half asleep so sorry for any issues..)
Nasty nasty Alpha Yujiro who takes advantage of poor little you. Who would have thought he’d ever encounter such a rare beauty? Omegas were practically extinct in the baki universe, the world full of hardened alphas made no room for the sweet soft omegas. And yet here you were against all odds.
From the moment he met you, he’d made the promise that he would never spread his seed through out the world.
Nay, he was going to hammer in his children into your fertile womb as you cried out in overstimulation. You would carry all of his offspring for the rest of your life. That was a promise.
While many of his past devoted lovers would have been flattered by his devotion, you were anything but.
Sure Yujiro would disappear on some days but no longer than a week.
But on the days he were in your house. It’d be a constant running away and fighting off the lustful touches of Yujiro.
The dreadful “Honey~ I’m home!~” had you cringing so hard as thick muscular arms surrounded your waist.
Having to take showers with the Ogre that always ended with you pressed up against the glass mirror as Yujiro crowded you against it.
Having your favorite clothes torn to shreds as he tried to make “love to you”.
Waking up in the middle of the night to see the humongous man deep in your guts as he ruthlessly pounded into you.
And when you went in heat…oh boy.
You’re horny 24/7 and you won’t fight back at all? Just lil ol you whimpering about how much it hurts and that you need something inside? You’d let the older man kiss you and cling onto him needily. His poor little omega!
Yeah, Yujiro loves your heats.
This man keeps a track record of when your heats are around the corner. It doesn’t matter if he’s in another country or across the globe the globe away from you. If he sees you have started your heat, he’s running like a madman with the nastiest smirk that has people running away screaming. They all thought he was out to murder someone (ya ur lil meow meow)
Out of spite you decide to hook up with some random beta when your heat starts up. Which immediately back fires when Yujiro has said man tied up as he watches you get plowed down by your real alpha.
“My little omega, have I neglected you so much that you seeked out some limp dick beta to satisfy you? I guess I’ll have to you more attention to keep you satisfied, huh?”
You know Yujiro is going to show you off. I mean, who wouldn’t?
He’s pulling up to the tournaments with you sitting on his shoulder clad in a thin bikini. Your looking away from the many lustful looks directed at you, all while Yujiro basks in the jealous looks he receives.
They all look so angry at him, but yet…too intimidated to muster the courage to say anything to him. Yes this was a fine idea.
He’s got you wearing a pretty diamond collar with the letters “Property of Ogre.”
Every time you both return from such fights, it didn’t matter if he came back angry or happy both were valid reasons to fuck you in the entrance your home. After that he would ravage you on any surface in the house.
He was going to get so many babies out of you.
Tumblr media
Me reading this ask loool
You must have read my mind anon, I was just musing the other day on how I want to some day take a stab at writing an ABO fic and the Bakiverse would be perfect fodder for it. 😌
But God... Yujiro would be the worst fucking Alpha. That man could track you down from miles away, knowing where you are at all times should he need you. And he has such intricate knowledge on basically every aspect of you and your life that it goes beyond concerning, it's downright invasive. It takes no time at all for him to claim fuck you, giving you no time to really sus him out or get to know him before you've become irrevocably his. He's now your bonded partner, and you are not at all thrilled with that.
When yujiro comes to claim you he attacks you with such a bestial, feral intensity that you are afraid one day your body won't be able to take the abuse he inflicts on it, giving you serious concerns over whether you will survive the mating process. You got lucky the first time, but what about in the future? How many pups does he plan to pump inside of you? The thought keeps you up at night. You don't even want to parent his offspring, let alone be demoted to his breeding stock to be fucked full again and again and again. You would have chosen ANY alpha other than Yujiro, but now this was your lot in life-forced to not only be his mate, but bear his children, creating new versions of this monster to roam the planet. Would they grow up to be like their father, or would you have any hope of raising them to be decent, loving people?
Also, I feel like your body will just constantly be marked up everywhere. His mating bites don't stop at the scent glands, and you usually end up looking like you just left a 12 round boxing match on the losing side instead of a mating session with your alpha. :(
And when you are in heat its the absolute fucking worst. Lusting after Yurjiro, your entire body aching for him to desecrate and destroy you, your insides burning white hot for his touch. Only your alpha can cure you of this all consuming sickness that plagues you, and you turn into a whiny blubbery mess when Yujiro is around, pleading and begging for him to claim you. It's absolutely dreadful how much you yearn for such a barbaric man, and each and every time you are disgusted with how easily you give in to him. You just roll over and become his docile little fuck mate, turned into a wanton, lusting mess from just catching his scent alone. You loath him as much as you need him, and words cannot describe the amount of hate you hold in your heart for the man that turned you into this pathetic shell of who you once were.

Ive seen some people get mixed up (also sorry if this comes off pompous I swear I'm not I just really fuckin enjoy these movies ghggb) so I'd like to clarify that the Big Bad Wolf is an already established character in the Shrek world.
Tumblr media
And he's just some guy. He also might transform into a human woman with a strong accent when there's a full moon according to a halloween special but ya know.
The wolf that chases Puss in Last Wish tho is, Death, straight up, as he said.
Tumblr media
Some promotional media did advertise him as the double b wolf but that was just to not spoil the surprise. (Apparently some promos would also just call him The Wolf so yeup.)
However, it's also not unreasonable to mix up the 2 since in Shrek's ogreverse (ogre universe I NEED to coin the phrase c'mon now) there's been a few number of soft rebooted characters from a lot of Shrek media.
But to go off strictly from the movies, the 2 most obvious examples are Rumpelstiltskin and the 3 bears.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The left depictions are really just one-off jokes/background characters that rarely appeared in more than 5 scenes from previous movies (Shrek 3 and 1 respectively), while the right depictions are the later focused antagonists that got plenty of screen time (Shrek 4ever after and Puss in Boots 2 the Last Wish respectively).
The difference tho is that the original depictions are really Just one-off jokes. Nothing more than just something in the background. The Big Bad Wolf however is an already established part of Shrek's friend group alongside the 3 little pigs, Pinocchio and Gingy.
Basically, not someone they could just easily make a soft reboot about like with the aforementioned 2 examples.
It is incredibly likely tho that DreamWorks did base Death a bit off of the real life folklore of the Big Bad Wolf. Considering how much they love old tales, and how much old stories had him as the main antagonist. (Plus c'mon. Wolf from Bad Guys literally says he's the big bad in every story, they're definitely self aware at this point.)
Having the penultimate depiction of the end of life itself in their fairytale inspired long-running world be loosely based on the most popular antagonist from old folklore stories is most likely on purpose, and I gotta say, based.
It's also likely that Death can take whatever form he chooses. But I'm cool with gnarly wolf form. 👍

"Just to blend in?" -Leo Valdez x Reader (Friends to Lovers?)

You groaned rolling your head back as the aggravating and irritating music hit your ears, an ogre was playing make believe DJ, you can hear its gruesome nails scratching on the pad. You accompanied Leo on a quest to locate an enchanted item used in antient time to help Forge weapon and armors, Both of you settled in the corner of the night club, You leaned back on one of those wrapped cocktail tables, trying to cover Leo behind you, who was working on a machine in order to locate the said item. "Where in the hell did you get these clothes!" You whined tugging on your unnecessary revealing clothes, "Hey!, It took a lot of energy to charm the store lady, Besides, We're in a nightclub atleast we blend in." He rolled his eyes wiping the sweat building on his forehead with the sleeves of his suit, You scoffed, gaze following a few monsters who danced around with the pitiful drunken humans, Particularly on one Laistrygonian Giant who hovered over a woman his hands dropped down to grip the womans hip, licking his lips with hunger in his eyes You wondered what the humans were seeing, Are the Monsters hot with the mist? (wait we're getting off topic). You nudge leo "Are you done?" You hummed, turning back to face him "Hm?, not yet, just needs a few changes" He fiddled around with the wires on the machine, You turned your head back, Blood turning blue when you noticed the Laistrygonian was looking right back at you as its sharp teeth bit into the drunken woman's neck who was squirming around, everyone around them continued dancing as if it was a normal thing, Your eyes widened as The giant glared at you, and looked at the DJ with a nod
"Leo, Leo!, Hurry up, I think-" You tapped leo's shoulder aggressively keeping an eyecontact with the Giant, "Hold on!, I'm Don-" The music became louder, Covering the stomps of the giant walking over to the both of you with furrowed brows. You hurriedly grabbed leo's sleeve, dragging him away making him stumble over a few people "Hey!" a drunk dude grumbled "Sorry!" leo screeched, You dragged leo over to a corridor which was fortunately empty, The both of you panting "You almost made me drop the machine!" He groaned settling down on the floor breathing heavily, “yeah?, would you rather to have died?” You gently hit him in the head “that was unnecessary” a overly dramatic pout covered his face “yes but it was well deserved.” You rolled your eyes snatching the metal device from his hand, a red blinking button on it "Its somewhere here" He hovered behind you, "I know idiot, Look out for monsters" You waved the machine out in the air to try and get the blinking to stop, "You're doing it wrong!" Leo tried to snatch it away from you "I know how to do-" The both of you fought over who gets to use the machine arms intertwined as he kept trying to snatch it back, Until both of your attention was grabbed by the Giant who was all the way at the end of the corridor "Warning, Tall angry dude is coming here!!" "Thanks for stating the obvious, idiot!!" then the Red button finally settled when the giant was just about to strike "Follow me!" You ran towards the door where the machine was pointing to, leo followed "Lock it hurry!" A loud thud could be heard from outside and the giant muttering to themselves "Where do we go now?" leo asked, inside the room were tons of doors, You waved the machine trying to get signal, a loud tugging on the previous door behind could be heard "Just hide!" You grabbed him shoving him in a random room, The room was dimly lit, stairs going down "This is a bad idea!" "What makes you think theres not more monsters there?" He stammered "Just-" You were thinking of a retort but you knew he was right, You hesitated before shrugging him off. "You're really stubborn y'know, Hey!" Leo groaned yet still followed you down the stairs.
The seemingly old stairs creaked under yours and leo's weight, carefully listening for any hits of a monster nearby, The faint noise of.. moaning? could be heard, growing louder as the both of you walk further down the stairs "What the hell?" You cursed under your breath near a laugh, tugging leo's shirt forcing him to keep a straight face so he doesnt attract attention from whoever was there below. Soon enough You were in a wine cellar, with bunch of drunk and horny teenagers who doesnt look a day over 17, there were 5 pairs of couples all scattered throughout the room practically eating each others faces off, "You've got to be kidding me.." You slammed your face, Leo couldn't help but snicker behind "A make out spot hah!" You glared at him forcing your way into the end of the wine cellar, There was no point in being quiet or sneaky though, all those people there were too busy fulfilling their.. Fantasies... "we should do that sometimes" Leo smirked, making you cough, Cheeks growing red and you turned to look at him trying to keep an intimidating face as leo made his hands do a kissy kiss, You rolled your eyes, cheeks a pinkish hue then you "Accidentally" gave him a quick jab to the stomach "Oh oops" "Owh!" he said clutching his stomach, frowning up at you, You examined the wine cellar trying to find any exit but there was none… or as far as you could tell “theres no exit.” You mumbled checking the gaps of the overfilled shelves if there was a way to get our “The monster is close, we have to hide somewhere.” You gave leo back the machine so he could try and figure out whats wrong with it “adam!..” a girl groaned from across the room followed by a growl of a guy “I swear to hades, I’m actually gonna puke” Leo couldn’t contain his laughter anymore
“Dont be dramati-“ Just like that you were cut off, the both of you could hear a door breaking open from upstairs, it wouldn’t take long for the giant to come to the room, the both of you looked at each other and hurriedly searched every corner of the wine cellar for a hope of escaping “nothing!” Leo mouthed from across the room trying to ignore the couple that had their faces basically attached to eachother “Come here! I think i found something!” you mouthed back and he hurriedly ran right back over to you “i think-“ Then a loud crash from the entrance above could be heard all the way to the room below, somehow didn’t attract the humans in the same room, the both of you looked at each other with a knowing look when the old stairs creaked again, the giant was headed down muttering to himself “tsk tsk tsk.” both of you looked at each other and back at the stairs, and you could see a hint of a musty big foot.. both of your eyes widened could no longer speak, "I have a plan.." You said hesitantly cheeks turning red, You could see the giants hip, revealing more of its body as it goes down
"What is it-" Leo was soon cut of when you pulled him by his tie and softly kissed him, You didn't expect the kiss to be soo... passionate?, You could see his eyes widen but went along with you and kissed you back, a hint of pink in his sunkissed skin, You could smell Leo's cologne up close.. It was so intoxicating(in a good way) You guided leo's hands to your waist trying to make it seem more believable, The both of you were clearly flustered, you just hoped that Leo's cologne was strong enough to hide the scent of the both of you, you tried to to focus back on the monster and trying not to melt into the kiss, from the corner of your eye you could see the giant peaking under the stairs examining the room and hissed "Tsk", Suddenly Leo pushed you back into the wall kissing you in a slow and playful rhythm, You were sure you were gonna explode any minute now from embarrassment "Shh, eyes on me." He whispered before taking another kiss, You couldn't tell what was real and what was not anymore, You thought he wanted you to keep your eyes on his so that the giant doesn't notice, right?, I mean this was your plan.. Why are you so flustered right now??? "Its just for the mission" You think to yourself, a hint of vulnerability in your heart, But you snapped back to reality when you felt his heart beating fast through his suit, he still kept tight grip on your waist, his other hand found its way to cup your cheeks, finally after what felt like minutes the giant finally went away with a huff, so the plan did work!, now it was time to stop kissing right?, But leo still hasn't noticed that the giant was long gone, and was still softly kissing you, You pulled away slowly, Your eyes kept in contact as you pulled away with a breathy gasped "Uhm.." "Ehem.." The both of you were flustered, You pulled away from his grasp acting like noting happened, trying to act busy examining the room again for a way out, but your mind could't help but replay the moment in your head, He cant lie and he didn't miss the way your lips parted just to kiss him back. Wait, what are you guys thinking? it was just for the mission, nothing else, no feelings attached, right? "Can we atleast talk about it-" Leo mumbled behind you, cheeks flushed, you tried to ignore him checking the shelves once more before finding a hidden button hidden underneath the off brand wines "It was just to blend in.." You finally answered, remembering the words he spoke to you earlier, still feeling embarrassed, not like you can confess when you're in a life and death situation, but still those words hit like a dagger to his heart, Yours especially, denying your feelings for him, oh if only you knew how whipped this boy was for you, There was a hint of disappointment mixed with embarrassment in the air, You couldn't even hold proper eye contact with him without the memories appearing in your mind, and the smell of his cologne lingered in the room, "C'mon, lets get out of here."

Falls On Me
Day 4- Goblin Camp: Early Evening Part 1
Rating: Teen (For this preview)
Previous Chapters: Chapter One , Chapter Two , Chapter Three , Chapter Four , Chapter Five , Chapter Six
Characters: Gale Dekarios, Karlach, F!Tav: Copper, Wyll Ravengard, Astarion, Lae'zel, and Shadowheart.
Warning: Gale POV, Canon Typical Description of Goblins
I am breaking this chapter into two parts. The second half is being very finicky so it's taking longer to write. Please enjoy almost 1000 words of Gale's reactions to walking through the Goblin Camp.
---
Gale could hear the goblins before he could see them since there was no mistaking the sounds of a celebration. Goblins, Bugbears, and even an Ogre were gathered out in the courtyard having a loud feast and drinking merrily.
Music accompanied the festivities but the lyrics were so slurred that Gale could only make out part of the goblin bard's ballad set to heavy drums and singing about digging through the ditches and burning some witches. 
Wyll remarks to Gale that the music was an improvement over the verses that Volo, the human bard they saved earlier was performing. But Gale doubted anybody else could do better surrounded by such an unpleasant crowd.
The noise, smell, and even the sight of seeing so many monsters in one place were overwhelming to the senses. Gale Dekarios’ first instinct was to run the other way as fast as he could. But the wizard conjured thoughts of his old self, the indomitable Gale of Waterdeep, to keep moving forward even if the smell of the goblins was nauseating. 
For the most part, the goblins were welcoming party hosts. Offering food of roasted dwarf and drink from a questionable booze trough, which Gale gracefully declined. It felt odd being treated so nicely by a creature well known for their self-serving nature but maybe the booze they were drinking by the barrelful was helping with their generosity. 
On top of the merriment running wild, along with a harried chicken and a couple of naked goblins, the sight making Gale shudder. The goblins thought they were allies in the Absolute because of the tadpole lodged in their heads.
True Souls, they were being called. 
Astarion even happily greeted some of the goblins, since he, Wyll, and Lae’zel visited the camp earlier as part of a scouting mission. Gale decided to mimic Astarion’s lead and started chatting with some (not naked) goblins in hopes he’d blend in and not draw attention to himself. He noticed everybody else but Lae’zel was pretending to be friendly as the group slowly moved inside the building leaving the noise behind.
Once inside the decimated temple, they were greeted by some guards and a horrendous stretch of burning flesh being masked by another large door. The guards recognizing Astarion, Wyll, and Lae'zel only slightly harassed the newcomers but quickly let everyone through since they were “True Souls”. 
“I didn't think I would be grateful for the tadpoles in our brain,” Gale mutters under his breath, fighting the urge to breathe through his nose. 
“I know,” Shadowheart whispers, wrinkling her nose at the stench. “It would be impossible to get in without an army otherwise.”
The room that greeted them next was large with a ramshackled altar in the middle. Gathered around it was a group of goblins getting burned by a large branding iron in the shape of a bloody hand sitting in an upturned triangle. Gale had a sneaky suspicion that he'd seen a mark like that before but couldn’t recall where. But he did recognize the goblin doing the branding was a priestess by her headdress and ceremonial clothes.
“That's one of the goblin leaders, Priestess Gut.” Astarion whispers in Gale's ear, causing the wizard to jump.
“Don't do that!” Gale hisses under his breath, clutching his orb and shooing the man away with his other hand. 
“I thought you'd want to know.” Astarion smirks as he steps back. “You might want to talk to those three before they do anything stupid.”
Gale looks in the direction the elf was indicating and sees Karlach, Wyll, and Copper talking amongst themselves. The tiefling was even pointing up to the rafters which anybody with half a brain would find suspicious so Gale hurries over to them.
“What are you doing?” Gale gives the three a reprimanding stare like they were disobedient students.
“Admiring the architecture,” Wyll replies calmly with a shrug. 
“It's not any of your business, wizard,” Karlach says as she sticks out her tongue like a bratty little kid.
“It is my business IF you guys decide to cause trouble that can affect ALL of us.” Indignation colors Gale’s voice as he gestures to the rest of the group before sighing in exasperation. “Remember the plan.”
“It's ok, Gale. We remember.” Copper reinsures, placing a firm hand on the wizard’s shoulder “We were just discussing the escape route for Halsin. Plus from our current position, the goblins don’t have a line of sight on us talking.” 
The monk directs Gale to look around and sure enough, the goblins are blocked from view by the architecture around them. This knowledge helps ground Gale even further.
“Just be careful,” Gale whispers, his eyes darting around to make sure nothing wandered into view while they were talking. “We are in the belly of the beast while here.”
“Don’t worry.” Wyll smiles. “You are with the Blade of Frontiers, monster hunter extraordinaire and expert of staying out of trouble…unless I go looking for it.” Wyll chuckles at his own joke and Gale can’t help but smile at the lad. 
“That’s good because I am sort of an expert at getting into trouble,” Gale confesses.
“G’lyck, get moving,” Lae’zel calls out, waving them over to join her, Shadowheart, and Astarion near the stairway on the right side of the altar. Once Gale and the others were within earshot, the Githyanki mutters. “You wanted to rescue the druid instead of going to the crèche, so stop dawdling around.”
“Sorry for the detour. We’ll be your little ducklings, lead the way,” Gale says with a smile which causes Lae’zel to pause in confusion before shaking her head, choosing not to follow up on the foreign turn of phrase. In another environment, Gale would have taken the time to explain what a duckling was to the young warrior. But it wasn’t the proper time for such a conversation and Lae’zel was already on the move towards the worg pens.
Author Note: To be continued. Hopefully sooner than later. I have around 2000 words already written for Part Two.

DAY 5506
Jalsa, Mumbai                  Mar 14/15,  2023                Tue/Wed  3:43 PM
🪔 .. March 15 .. birthday greetings to .. Ef Amita Fatima Zohra Daheur .. Ef Ankita Dadajwar from Nanded .. Ef Manish Mishra from Unnao Uttar Pradesh .. Ef Shruti Saini from New Delhi ..Ef Mozhgan Tirandaz from Iran .. Ef Avik Ghosh from Kolkata .. and Ef Avnish Dalal .. 🌿🙏🏽🚩 And the wishes of togetherness to Ef Krishna Kant Dangi from Bihar and his respected wife Suman Devi .. for their wedding anniversary on March 13 .. how many years ?? .. 💍💕 .. सालगिरह पर अनेक शुभकामनाएं। .. 🙏🏽🚩 ✨
Birthday Ef - Ankita, from Nanded .. the youngest Ef .. her 21st and all our wishes go out to this very special day  .. 🌹
Wednesday, 15 MarchBirthday - EF - Amita Fatima Zohra Daheur .. Wednesday, 15 March .. and all our wishes for this special day .. your constant presence on the Blog is admired ..love .. ❤️
It is becoming increasingly evident that the regularity of the writing on the Blog is suffering from an assumed lack of interest .. since the odd timings of its presence here, is a suffering that many of the Ef shall and are and will be  bearing ..
Why ..?
Because they all live in different parts of the World , in different time Zones and climates .. climates, since at times it is too hot to open the page or too clod or too wet  .. and every consideration that signifies its need shall and should be addressed ..🤣
The fault lies in the writer and initiator of the writing .. and he must be reprimanded for the discrepancy that has prevailed now for several days .. 
Indeed the irregularity is such that an entire day of routine goes array .. 
Also, there is another criminal in this matter - the social media  !
Once you, at night, start reading and gathering one post, you move to the next and the next and the next .. unendingly .. and before you know it, you have either dozed off or realised that you are just in time for breakfast  !!
But, it must be said that some of the material from the World of the net is indeed remarkable .. it teaches , it educates , it gives you opportunity to cipher the good from the bad to the undesirable  ...
The presence of them that would have gone on unknown, has now diminished in large numbers .. every face every voice has a presence and a following .. how wonderful for that to happen .. 
I do like it - good bad or ugly .. but many do not and drop out  .. 
The systems of the connect are so varied and so many that nothing in this entire Universe shall ever go unnoticed .. 
Some of the writings are filled with intelligent conversation .. some not .. but they all show great adherence to the regulations of the medium they address ..
The ‘unknown’ is a word now .. its meaning has been devoured by massive and unimaginable ogres, that have just initiated a new job .. classification, filing and storing .. 
They say DATA is the new valuable .. so be it ..
So in the hours of  irregularities, one drifts its mind to other pastures - poetry !
A dear friend asked after my health , and whether I was improving ..
I responded  :
 दिक्कत है , लेकिन धीरे धीरे ठीक होगा - ऐसा डाक्टर ने कहा है ।
आभार 🌹
so he replied :
 धीरे धीरे तो आप ने ज़िंदगी में बहुत लोगों को ठीक कर दिया है यह तो बिचारी ऐक पसली है ।
to which I replied  :
जो बिचारी-बिचारा , वही प्रबल होता है ; पसली तो असली उसी की होती है  !!
ज़िन्दगी बहुतों को ठीक कर देती है , माना ; काँटों से डरकर, मना है कलियों से नेह लगाना ?
घाव नहीं जिन हाथों में , उनमें किस दिन फूल सुहाये , पसली असली उसकी , जो सदा कलियों को भाये ।।
My responses and interaction is in the form of attempted poetry .. it would be most difficult to translate the essence .. but just a simple expression of its mean would be .. 
So when asked whether I was Improving .. I told him, it is troublesome but slowly and steadily it shall get fixed  ..
He responded by saying that .. ‘slowly and steadily you have in your life , fixed many a person , this is but a mere poor rib’ 
To which I responded in a few lines in verse   .. in essence - 
they that are mere poor , they are the ones with strength, and might , they be the ones dominant  .. the ribs of them are the truest and most strong ..
life does indeed fix many a person, agree .. but when has the fear of thorns desisted one of the love for the flower bud ?  those that have been bruised and whose hands are sore , when did the flower bud not look good in their hands .. the truest and most strongest ribs , are of those, whose bruised hands adorn the flowered bud  ..   
And on this very poetic note I end for toDAY ..
My love

Tumblr media
Queen - At the Beeb
A collection of demos recorded in 1973, with this record being released in 1989
The demos are all songs from the first album (and ogre battle from the second) which is one of my favourite albums and an era of queen not often represented in later releases
The demos themselves are excellent and it’s fun to notice little differences, such as Roger singing a verse in Doin’ alright instead of Freddie
Very cool release and very happy to own it

Dumb Monster mercs 2 electric boogaloo
So I’ve established that RED Spy tf2 in the monster AU is a werewolf, not a vampire.
RED Medic is a vampire though, and that begs the question of what his bat form would look like.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a flying fox. They’re not native to Germany or Euorope as a whole, but I just can’t picture the mad doctor as a scrunch faced little bat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like nah fam, that thing’s too round and non-threatening to be him. Also he’s a tall dude, he and Spy are like the same height but he’s just not a beanpole.
Tumblr media
The Australian flying foxes get really big, which makes more sense for a vampire anyways because they’re scary. I imagine his bat eyes are still blue, which would make him look like a blind big bat to a civilian who hasn’t read up on vampire lore.
That being said, I imagine vampirism in the tf2 universe is like a magic curse that acts like a parasite. Instead of being able to eat actual food, you drink blood. Depending on what you eat, it tastes like food you used to like as a human, and animals that were raised on a lot of corn or potatoes taste like meat with a side dish.
Human and sentient monster blood tastes foul, and most vamps actually don’t go out of their way to eat people or try to infect them. However. Monster hunting guilds across the world want people to believe that vampires eat humans, because if they learn the truth it puts the art of vampire slaying under scrutiny. And that means less funding for the guilds, as well as shame for their governments.
There’s a simple solution to keep that lie running; starve a vampire and then bring them out to be executed. Because the vampirism is a magic parasite of sorts that makes undead, it needs fuel to keep them healthy. That fuel being some form of blood. If you starve a vamp, the parasite starts sending signals to attack anything that moves and drink its blood, no matter who or what it is.
So even if you were a totally peace-loving vamp, if you got captured by a monster hunting guild you’d be driven mad with hunger and made to look savage.
Medic was actually infected during WWII when he opened a little eyehole slot looking into a vampire’s prison cell. The old man was being held captive by N*zis, and he figured the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Which was true, but the old man had been starved and forced his bat form out of the hole to get him.
The RED team has a paddock of captured animals that the Medic eats. He’d of course sampled their blood from surgeries out of morbid curiosity, but that’s it. It also wasn’t unusual for him to be gone for a long time to refill the animal blood supply.
If he were to get captured by some competent monster hunters, Heavy would be the one sent to rescue him.
Heavy in the monster verse is a large Siberian ogre. Like Vampires, the idea that ogres eat humans is mostly untrue; though some factions have eaten their enemies villages after their own families were attacked or killed.
Tumblr media
They have thick skin that is very hard to puncture, which is why it would be safest for him to go and rescue Medic if some bozos tried to starve him. Vampires can’t control themselves when they’ve gone without for more than 4 days, and they can’t stop drinking blood until that unfortunate target is drained. Heavy’s the only teammate who wouldn’t be drained, and who’s capable of wrangling the doctor off him to redirect him to an animal target.
Being a Siberian ogre, Heavy is accustomed to wearing bear fur like a chest plate or vest, with tanned leather pants. Some warmer climate ogres wear leather as well, but tend to keep their bellies bare since they have no need for a full shirt. It would be very easy for the doctor to turn into a bat and hold onto part of Heavy’s bear-fur vest; staying safe and camouflaged in his weakened state while the big guy destroyed the monster hunting outpost.
For anyone curious, the Emesis Blue BLU Medic is not a vampire, but instead a mage that uses healing spells on the BLU team. There’s no weird occult spells in his arsenal, but given his childhood in N*zi Germany as a Jewish man, it didn’t really matter how good his intentions were.
In the regular timeline BLU team has no idea about his heritage, but given how odd it is for a healing, Holy mage to be persecuted in a world of Monster hunters fighting necromancers and witches, the subject did come up. BLU team may not have a Scout, but they are less aloof and secretive than in the main timeline. Even Spy.
RED Spy and BLU Ma still had BLU Scout since he and RED Ma are friends, not compatible lovers. But both Scouts are on RED team.
BLU Soldier was brought back to life like Frankenstein’s monster by the US government to fight in Vietnam. He escaped and decided to join BLU to keep himself from being sicked on someone by his lying government.
BLU Pyro [Cheryl] was human once, but the bratty girls in her Maine hometown wanted her “weird ***” gone, so they tried to turn her into a scary dragon. They misread the spell and accidentally turned her into a Phoenix. This serves her well fighting against RED Pyro, since she keeps regenerating when destroyed.
RED and BLU exist more to keep the monster mercs strong and wily, so they can fight monster hunters. Though, the witch administrator had successfully gaslighted Redmond and Blutarch to believe otherwise. She doesn’t really care about the mercs, but hates humans a lot more for inconveniencing her and her unknown plans.
