"y'know, i'd appreciate it if you could help at least a little bit."

gojo can feel your hard glare targeting him, piercing into his skull like a red laser beam, yet still chooses to ignore you. he doesn't understand why you can't just finish unpacking later. you're kind of being a buzzkill. yes, he'd be a better friend if he continued to help you unpack your boxes and organize your cluttered dormitory; but he's got more important things to do. things that require his complete and utmost attention. things that are life or death on a college campus. things that will make or break his entire young adult experience...

...things like finishing his hinge profile!

"i promise— wait no. i pinky promise i'll put all of your shit away later, just tell me which photos to pick for this prompt, i'm stuck." he's begging and pleading for you to focus on him, which isn't unusual when dealing with a narcissist such as himself. c'mon. c'mon. gojo knows exactly how to win you over. it really isn't that hard. all he has to do is beg and whine a little, give you some puppy dog eyes, and you'll do whatever he says! there's no way he's actually going to put all of your clothes away; that'll take like...forever.

with an eye roll in response to the cheer of joy gojo lets out, you set your boxes to the side and lay beside him on the carpet. he can feel your nose tickling his neck as you lean close to see his screen, and he wonders why his heart skips a beat. eh, it's probably nothing.

"this is so dumb, satoru." you point to his screen, your finger directed at his favorite prompt so far.

don't hate me if i: have blue eyes

"okay, wait!" he flicks your forehead, laughing as you pout, and clicks on the 'add image' prompt. "it's like a thing now! girls hate guys with baby blues like mine!" being handsome is so hard nowadays.

if he asked anyone at jujutsu university who the biggest player on campus is, they'd name him off without blinking twice. while only being a freshman last year, gojo managed to become a household (or a dorm-hold?) name that'll be talked about for years after he graduates. there may be a possibility he's either flirted or made out with every girl in his graduating class, not including you, all in one school year. without the use of dating apps, he went on a total of eighty-seven first dates from august to june; albiet seeing a few girls more than a few times for some special alone time, if you get what he means; and he had the absolute time of his life and needs to recreate that thrill again.

"you don't need an app to get girls, you get plenty already."

ugh why do you always have to rain on his parade?

"obviously i don't need an app, but it's way more fun this way." he argues, "imagine if i hit a hundred first dates before may. i'd break last year's record."

"and why are you getting so butt-hurt about my dating life?" he's treading into dangerous territory. the two of you never talk about your romantic experiences, considering you never want to talk about them with him. "it's not my fault you had a total of...hm what was it? zero dates last year?"

"just find a fucking photo and get this over with."

yeah, your love life is off limits...

a chuckle rumbles from his throat as gojo continues scrolling through his camera roll, searching for a photo that screams 'boyfriend material'...or to be more specific 'one night stand material'. while he's searching for a photo that'll make girls want to sleep with him, he doesn't notice that his brightest smiles only appear in the photos with you. then again, he never notices you; and if he ever did, it's unlikely he'd date you anyways. you're his best friend. he doesn't want to ruin that. he can't ruin that, because then he'd have to imagine a life without you in it.

a particular picture stands out from the rest, and you choose to point it out. it's the two of you in your high school uniforms, standing side-by-side beneath the cherry blossoms after your third year graduation ceremony. his hair is slightly shorter and his height hadn't reached its full potential yet, but you look absolutely adorable— almost like a kitten that he's protecting from the no-good boys of the world (technically he belongs in that category, but that's besides the point).

"do you remember when we first met?" a soft hum is murmured in his ear and gojo finds the sound quite comforting.

he thinks for a moment, completely blanking as the memory escaped his mind, and takes a random guess. "middle school? english class?"

the look of disappointment on your face immediately tells him he's wrong.

"look it was a really long time ago, i know that at least." no amount of excuses will make up for his awful recollection, but he tries nonetheless. gojo satoru is a shitty friend. that's just how it is. you both know it and he tries his best to be better for you, however, he can't help the way he is. some boys are born to be boys. "i'm trying my best—"

"it's alright, just stop."

you're so upset.

"there are more important things to remember, really it's fine."

why are you so upset?

"i'm sorry," he mumbles. this feeling of guilt isn't familiar to gojo and he can't help but hate it. "i'll try to remember."

what is it that you were trying to reminisce about? he wants to know but he shouldn't pry any more, you're clearly done with the conversation and want to move on with a concentrated thinking face gracing your features. you look pretty. woah. you look really pretty. he's never thought that before. why hasn't he noticed before? suddenly, the thought of however many hinge girls want him isn't very appealing and he just wants to make you smile again. you're so pretty when you smile. his heart is beating ten times faster than usual and he's urging it to calm down, but it won't.

...maybe that's a good thing, though.

📔

Ooooh.... Here's a crack AU I made up ages ago!

So, in this AU, when Ezra was young (like... three, maybe,) there was an accident and his parents were killed. And something happened in that accident that revealed he was Force-sensitive. He was brought to Vader, and Vader sees this child—small, but VERY Force-sensitive, and born almost the exact same day Padme died—and his reaction is just, "SON?????"

So... Ezra grows up believing that Vader is his dad.

Anyway, several years pass. Ezra is about twelve now, and he gets his first mission.

It's on Mandalore.

One of the instructors there is beginning to suspect that Sabine Wren is considering treason. Ezra is sent there, disguised as a new student, to "befriend" Sabine and discover if this is true. It backfires spectacularly!

Ezra decides that Sabine is The Coolest Ever, Actually, and sticks to her like a barnacle. They run away from the Academy together (though Ezra does leave a voicemail for Vader telling him everything is OK. He just doesn't want his dad to worry!)

Ezra says he'd like to go live quietly on Lothal (he doesn't remember it's his home, but something about the name sounds Familiar and Good), but Sabine doesn't want to. She says she'll drop him off and then she'll go and be a bounty hunter, but Ezra, who REALLY doesn't want to lose his new bestie, insists that he could be her bounty hunter apprentice. He's, like, really good at being an apprentice. Honest.

Sabine kind of has it in mind that he's this pathetic kid that she needed to babysit and rescue from the Empire (she doesn't know who he really is; Ezra honestly just forgot to ever mention it), but he convinces her to give it a shot.

So, here's the thing. Ezra was raised by Darth Vader, and though he's not actively evil, Ezra's moral compass is a pinwheel and in his mind, the only reason to not do something is if either Vader or Sabine have specifically said Ezra No That's Bad.

After a lot of bad luck, they finally get a bounty puck, and set off to bring the person in. They get to the planet, and Sabine suggests they split up, because she thinks she'll catch the bounty much faster on her own.

She doesn't.

By the time she realizes she needs to follow the sound of people screaming and running, Ezra has already located, ambushed, and messily dismembered the bounty.

"Did I do good?" Ezra asks eagerly.

Sabine quickly switches mindsets from I have to keep this kid from getting himself killed to I have to keep this kid from having a villain arc.

"Um, are you okay?" Ezra asks. "You look kind of weird."

"I'm fine," Sabine says, smiling nervously. "Y'know, maybe we should just go live quietly on Lothal or something."

As it turns out, "living quietly on Lothal" is fun for about a month (which is how long it takes Sabine to paint the entire inside of the comm tower they've claimed as their headquarters, install bunk beds, dye Ezra's hair, and make mini cardboard mandalorian helmets for the two Loth-cats he brought home.) Then boredom sets in, and Sabine takes to vandalism. Ezra goes with her. He thinks it's almost as fun as bounty hunting.

Ezra also spends time exploring the Force. He's been trained in the Dark side but the peacefulness of Lothal starts to draw him towards the Light. He starts to find an equilibrium.

Sabine and Ezra have the time of their lives.

Then, one afternoon, about a year later, when Sabine and Ezra are working on an art project, Darth Vader barges into the comm tower and demands, "Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in, young man?!"

"Aww, Dad!" Ezra whines. "You never let me do anything!"

In hindsight, Sabine thinks, that explains a lot.

#that's all I have solidly worked out but I have this vague idea of sabine and ezra semi-kidnapping vader so he doesn't ruin their fun #and then the spectres come along and sabine and ezra join them and drag darth vader along #and vader accidentally joins the rebellion #thank you for the ask!! #and sorry it's taking me so long to get around to these! #star wars #star wars rebels #inquisitor ezra bridger #ezra bridger #sabine wren

Oh~ how about another prompt with Miu where she has actually has a boyfriend, which is a surprise to her entire class, and personality wise, he's the opposite of her. He's kind and polite and a bit shy. Everyone is like, why is he dating miu, and isn't the relationship a bit toxic with shuichi and kaede being the only two to really support the relationship. Though when asked why he's dating Miu, his answer is that he finds miu to be adorable and loves every part of her. And Miu overhears this and is super embarrassed but also touched.

miu iruma w/ total opposite boyfriend

info: male!reader, established relationship, slight nsfw mentions, miu does what miu does best, around 1,900 words

type: oneshot format, non-despair au

a/n: I have a feeling you like miu a lot, not that I blame you at all I wrote this in a oneshot format just to make it flow better

⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡⟡♡

it was a normal day in homeroom, students of class 53 formed small groups and talked amongst each other softly. it was oddly peaceful this morning. shuichi looked around and hummed in thought. "isn't it more quiet than usual...?" he asked to his circle of friends who were kaede, kaito and maki.

"now that you mentioned it... it does feel quiet, did something happen?" kaede pondered.

"that's a surprise considering kaito is here..." maki said in her usual sarcastic and deadpan tone, to which kaito grunted in response. "hey! I can be quiet too!" he rubbed the back of his neck. "but you're right, something doesn't feel quite right... like we're missing something."

as if on cue, the door was kicked open and a certain blonde genius proudly made her entrance. "....that's why." maki growled.

"good fuckin' mornin' you lonely sons of bitches!" miu laughed harshly with her hands on her hips, walking into homeroom and lounging herself over her desk.

"miu... you seem very high in spirits." kirumi commented, gently nudging miu's shoes off of the desk. miu smirked and leaned back on her chair, putting her arms behind her head. "who could blame me? anyone would be happy to be a beautiful girl like me!"

"doooooubt it." kokichi butted in with a sing-song voice. "was there a discount on scented vibrators or something?" he stuck his tongue out with a wink. miu went red and sat up properly, clenching her fists.

"no you fuckin' dwarf! since you're so damn nosey i'll tell ya..." she gestured for the others to come in close as a proud smirk stretched upon her face. "I, miu fuckin' iruma, girl genius and incarnation of beauty itself... has a boyfriend!" suddenly the room went very quiet and all of her classmates turned to her with variations of surprise.

then kokichi started laughing. "bahahaha! good joke, miu! i had no idea such a bitch-brain like yourself was capable of decent humour!" miu clenched her jaw. "shut the fuck up, you little shit! it's not a damn joke!" "oh... oh you're being serious? it's not a lie?" kokichi raised an eyebrow. "you have a boyfriend?" "inventions don't count as boyfriends, miu..." maki cut herself in, for once actually working along side kokichi and sharing their disbelief. before miu could bite back, maki sighed and crossed her arms. "whatever... who would even want to date you?"

"tch! you're just fuckin' jealous i have charm and beauty!" miu pouted, scratching her temple with a slight blush on her face. "it's y/n... y'know, the guy in the class below us?" if anyone wasn't shocked before, they certainly were now. "y/n... y/n l/n? are you sure?" even kirumi couldn't hide the fact that such a person like miu could bag a person like... him. "even though he's a degenerate male... i never thought he was your type, miu!" "kehehehe... like the tales of a forbidden love between an angel and a demon..." "nya-ha-ha! you must be truly blessed by atua, miu!" "there's no way you didn't cast a high seduction spell on him..." "yeesh... poor guy... he probably couldn't even say no..."

all these influxes of doubts and jokes, it made miu curl into herself on her chair, eyes darting around at the mocking faces. why the hell did they not believe her?! and why was she starting to doubt herself too...? in the sea of everyone else, kaede's words cut through them all. "come on guys, that's enough!" she puffed up her chest. "i think it's really nice that miu found a special someone! who are we to judge?" she gently nudges shuichi who snaps out of his thoughts, clearing his throat and nodding. "y-yeah...I think it's great you've found someone, miu."

miu felt a little better about it although she didn't show that she appreciated the two's support, she just stands up with a grin on her face. "i'll prove to you that me and him are made for each other, like antony and cleopatra!" she whips around to kaede and shuichi. "you can both be my witnesses! let's meet at the diner after school!"

"oh I've got to see this.. I'm coming too." kokichi said with a devious smirk. maki chuckled under her breath as well. "I don't normally do this... but i'll come too just to see you fail."

"tch... get ready to be proved fuckin' wrong..." miu had to keep her word now, should be easy enough right?

after school, kaede, shuichi, kokichi and maki all went together to the nearby diner that miu specifically told them to go to. the diner wasn't that busy at all, with the occasional tired worker coming in for a cup of coffee. the group had been waiting 20 minutes and miu still hadn't arrived with her supposed 'boyfriend'.

kokichi groaned out loud, reeling back as he tugged on his own hair. "aaargh... can we just order now? i'm hungry!" he whined. "no, kokichi! we need to wait for miu and y/n!" kaede scolded him for his lack of patience which only made him groan louder. "should it be taking this long, though? I hope everything is alright..." shuichi hummed, looking out of the window for any sign of the blonde. "maybe she was just bluffing about this boyfriend..." maki sighed. "what a waste of my time... I'm leaving." she began to stand up yet a familiar voice caused her to sit down. "hey dumbasses!" there was miu, with her arm linked around a timid-looking young man who followed behind her like a lost puppy. this would be... you. "feast your lucky eyes on this cutie!" miu pointed her thumb towards you and you immediately felt embarrassed, rubbing your hands together, managing to throw a gentle wave.

"H-hi... it's nice to meet some of miu's friends..." you tried to speak confidently yet your voice cracked on the first word. "we're not friends." maki spoke up quickly, leaning her cheek into her hand as she huffed. she was hoping that she could leave quickly but now she actually had to stay. "maki!" kaede sighed softly, turning to you and giving a friendly smile. "it's good to meet you too, y/n! i've seen you around school but we haven't officially met. I'm kaede, and this is shuichi, maki and kokichi!" kaede gestured to who the names belonged to, shuichi gives a smile of his own, maki just gives a lazy attempt of a wave whilst kokichi was... staring with a straight-face.

"tsk... why the fuck you suddenly so quiet for, cock-itchy?! cat got your dick or something?" miu suddenly got defensive, tugging your arm closer to her. kokichi kept the straight face for a moment... then suddenly smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "kokichi oma! charmed, i'm sure!" he extended his hand out to you, you were about to shake it until miu suddenly grabbed your wrist. "don't grab it! he's got some shock toy for sure!" miu spat with venom, you quickly put your hand back to your side. kokichi sighed. "buzz-kill!" he giggled like a little imp.

soon enough you were sitting down with miu's friends, ordering your food and just making idle chatter although you were quiet. it was true then... miu did have a boyfriend and quite the unlikely person too. admittedly, shuichi was starting to worry about you. he supported the relationship, of course but... would it really be okay? miu was loud, pushy and... overbearing, you didn't come off the type to enjoy that at least, that's what shuichi was starting to gather.

after eating, miu yawned her heart out and stretched. "welp, this golden girl is going to have a golden shit in the bathroom, don't fuckin' leave without me!" "too much info..." maki grimaced. "be right back, cute stuff." miu ruffled your hair as she stood up, you smiled and nodded your head with a gentle blush. "o-okay, babe..." you watched your girlfriend make her way to the bathroom, once she was out of your sight you looked down at the table sort of in silence. you weren't exactly the type to initiate conversation.

"okay so... biiiiiiiiig question..." kokichi put his hands behind his head and leaned back against the booth. "how much did miu pay you for this?" this question caught you off guard and you looked at kokichi dumbfounded. kaede sighed, facepalming in complete disappointment. "w... what...?" "come ooooon... there's no way a guy like you wants a seething whore like her, right? there's gotta be a catch!"

you frowned, scratching your cheek and shaking your head. "no... I want to be with her..."

kokichi looked confused. "uh... what was that now?" "yeah... are you serious?" maki leaned in closer against the table to look at your face as if she was searching for something. "you do realise how she is, right? she's a thorn in the backside... and loud, and cocky..." maki grumbled.

"I know..." you shifted around in your seat nervously, looking off to the side and a smile melted on your face. "but... I actually like that about her a lot... she's really confident and... she's really cute when she gets all excited about her inventions... I love listening to her talk, actually..."

"awww...." kaede smiled warmly at your words whilst clutching her chest.

you giggled. "miu is actually really sweet when you get to know her... I think she's perfect for me, actually... she's confident when I'm not... I think people judge her too much... but under the surface she's just a warm, caring person... I love her a lot and she's really beautiful, and smart..." you chuckled, shaking your head. "sorry, i'm probably gushing so much... but.. it's the truth of how I feel..."

the table was silent; kaede was still tearful at the beautiful display of love you possessed for someone like miu, shuichi was smiling a little bit and now he understood it... you two were actually perfect for eachother. maki seemed in thought but... she seemed less likely to make fun of it now. kokichi stared at you again, only to sigh a few moments after.

"well, he isn't lying... but jeez... boooooooooooring!"

"look who's fuckin' talking!" miu came back from the bathroom, glaring daggers down at kokichi. you immediately tense up with a bright red blush on your face. "m.. miu..? did you hear that...?" miu sits down next to you, raising an eyebrow with a confused expression. "huh? hear what? all I heard was dickhead over there being an annoyance!" she growled directly at kokichi, who stuck his tongue out. you sighed in relief, you couldn't handle the embarrassment if she knew what you were saying about her... maybe another day you can say it to her face...

miu heard everything. she heard the voices when she had left the bathroom but hid around the corner to listen. did you really mean all those things you said about her...? you thought she was beautiful and smart? of course she was! she was miu iruma! but... when it came from you... it just felt all the more special. she had to take several minutes to calm her blush before walking back, she just couldn't believe how cute you were... she looked over to you chatting away to shuichi and she smiled softly. her hand gently took yours underneath the table, squeezing it and running her thumb over your knuckles. it was satisfying to see the tint of red on your cheeks yet you squeezed her hand back.

she was so happy that she met you, all the more happy that she could call you her boyfriend.

[valleyfthdolls]

I like your writing it makes me feel a certain type of way.

Also what's your FNAF au about?

Thank you anon!

@chisksblog my FNaF AU isn't too unlike canon, though it has a lot of focus on the Afton family because I'm crazy about their story. The big things changed are generally more accuracy to real life animatronics of the era, with each animatronic character having written-in personalities and lore that then intersects with the missing children. Fazbear Entertainment has "lore" of its own (akin to the CEC characters) in universe that kind of blurs the missing kids' reality at the edges.

Speaking of which, the missing children's info is as follows:

Charlotte "Charlie" Emily, 9 years old, died 10/31/1982. Possesses The Marionette. Elizabeth Nora Afton, 10 years old, died 4/13/1983. Possesses Circus Baby. Cassidy Blair Afton, 9 years and 6 days old, died 6/28/1983. Possesses Fredbear. Susie Ann Miller, 10 years old, died 7/02/1985. Possesses Chica. Jeremy Young, 5 years old, died 7/23/1985. Possesses Bonnie. Gabriel Lowe, 7 years old, died 7/23/1985. Possesses Freddy Fazbear. Francesca Claudette "Fritz" Oliveira, 11 years old, died 8/01/1985. Possesses Captain Foxy.

The other three who died and possess the other Funtimes I'm not certain on, or if they even really exist. I'll.. I'll figure that out.

When it comes to Security Breach and stuff, that's where things get very, very different. Technically, my main fnaf AU doesn't involve HW/SB/Ruin, that's a different thing entirely (I call that au "security-singularity breach" or scsib for short).

In ScSiB, Gregory isn't entirely a . y'know, homeless orphan. Actually, he has a full family- parents and two older sisters- twins, actually. His parents split before his birth though, and his father left with his older sister Vanessa, leaving him and Valentine. After losing Vanessa, their mother became the person that she was said to be by their father to get custody of Ness- neglectful, emotionally abusive, and suicidal. Valentine and Gregory both became self-sufficient, and Gregory became cold and bitter where Valentine became irreverent and overly positive to mask a sense of insignificance. Once Vanessa moves out of her father's house, she tries to become a part of Gregory's life, to little success due to Gregory's very avoidant attachment style and suspicion.

Valentine is the one to get taken over by Glitchtrap, but she ropes both of her siblings into it subtly. As Valentine starts appearing more like Vanessa, Gregory becomes completely lost in who and what he can trust. His only comfort is spending all his time at the Pizzaplex, because he has a couple of friends there and he gets in free on a family discount. He considers Freddy his friend, and this is vitally important. As he becomes more uncertain of his safety in his home life, he tries to reach out to Freddy, who is just receptive enough for Gregory to keep trying little by very little. Valentine models her persona after both herself and her sister to continue implicating Vanessa so it stays between them, and she names it V.A.N.N.Y.- Virtual Augmentation Neural Network Yield. The suit is partially mechanized and works off of the V.A.N.N.I. system from Ruin.

On Halloween of 2020 (I don't like that SB canonically takes place in like 2045. sorry), V.A.N.N.Y. is forced to really start acting out Glitchtrap's will, and to cut her off from any emotional connection, Glitchtrap instructs her to kill her parents and Gregory. She successfully kills her parents, but Gregory escapes. He is presumed by most to have killed his parents and run away. Glitchtrap is not happy that she fucked up, but this was partially a move to protect her brother by putting him in a place where Vanessa would feel she had absolutely no choice but to protect him for her, even though they're not close. She puts the responsibility of Gregory's safety on Vanessa, but Gregory doesn't trust her.

The only person that Gregory trusts- aside from Cassie, who doesn't believe Gregory is a murderer- isn't really a person, but Freddy. Freddy is the only person Gregory feels like isn't hiding something from him. This turns out to be very wrong, as Freddy isn't really Freddy, but Michael Afton, trying to stop anything awful from happening again by protecting Gregory at any cost.

Which is a difficult task when the kid you're trying to protect keeps insisting on putting himself in the way of a murderer with the intention of "saving" her.

feel like talking about my robot ocs (sort of? it's kind of complicated for two of them. you'll see), so here's some stuff about them! :]

angel (halo/ae/wing) (named after angel's food cake) (technically a self-insert, but also not really? not sure where the line is drawn in this case, honestly...)

halo is a defective va-ser that barely managed to escape from qa-1mil by pure chance. halo went into hiding afterwards, not wanting to get, y'know, Killed for just having fucked up pain processors.

wing's a yellow va-ser that's covered in chicken scratch. most of it is notes for wings various stories that wing wants to write someday. the scrolling text on wings midsection changes in accordance with whatever wing is currently doing (e.g. if wing is talking about something wing likes a lot, the text changes to something like, "rambling about bullshit").

ae likes to collect and wear button-up shirts. ae has to ruin most of them in the process (well, more than they were Already ruined, anyways, considering that ae finds them in the trash), though

at some point, angel meets the next oc(?) i'll be talking about, and the two have stuck together ever since. :]

dev (it/her) (named after devil's food cake) (technically not an oc, but also kind of an oc?)

it's...the decaf bot! in the metal! it's been hiding out ever since That Whole Thing.

she's a pgr-0101, but her appearance has been heavily (self) modified. she's blue instead of green, and the gold strips reminiscent of zanzo's coat have been torn off. her visor displays a pair of eyes when she has it on, rather than the regular squares. said eyes change to reflect her emotions.

similar to angel, it likes to wear clothes! specifically, it wears a torn up cloth lab coat that's covered in spray paint, alongside a fanny pack that's also covered in paint

gngr (he/she) nori's (the head of production in my au, escapism) assistant! he was built by xem a few years back for a school assignment. xe kept them around because xe needed someone that would always be there, looking out for them

since she was built to, essentially, be a caretaker, she knows how to cook, she cleans, is a shoulder to cry on...y'know, all that Stuff.

he has a screen for a face, which he displays emoticons (e.g. :D, :(, :P) on. he can also put text on it!

now, the next four aren't humanoid in any way. they're like the kem-0n0 and vu-t0r1. but i wanted to talk about them, and they Are robots that I Made, so! it's also important to note that they only exist within my au, escapism, because they were designed by the head of R&D in said au, sunny

LEO-031 the LEO-031 was designed to be the ultimate bodyguard. they're quick, strong, and practically unbreakable! well, unless you have fists of steel that are strong enough to break sunny's improved version of z-shielding, known as SP 100, which most people do not.

they're sold to the public, and the department heads and the ceo himself all have one of their own! the models sold to the public differ from those that were given to the heads and ceo by sunny, as theirs were designed to be specifically for them.

they look like a robotic lion with a small mane. their mane becomes more prominent when they feel they/their owner is being threatened

LEN-N31 the LEN-N31 is the smaller, friendlier sibling of the LEO-031. they are the ultimate companion! they're soft, lovable, and entirely non-lethal! however, that doesn't mean that they're weak! they're just as sturdy as their siblings, and are waterproof, so you can have fun in the pool and the rain!

they're very good at cohabitating with others, so if you have other pets, they'll get along swell! they even come equipped with emergency response systems in case you or any of your loved ones are in danger.

they're one of, if not the most popular unit sold by vandelay technologies!

they look like a robotic lion cub.

PACK-13 the PACK-13 was designed to be the ultimate tracker and is excellent at hunting down groups. this is because it itself is a group of robots, which all combine into one massive mech.

unlike its predecessors, the LEO-031 and LEN-N31, it's made entirely of solid steel. no soft fur or cutesy appearance here; just a mechanical machine built to hunt...and kill. its bite is strong enough to break through bone.

it is not intended for public use.

it looks like a giant mechanical wolf. the separate units look similar, just, well, smaller.

L0N3-WLF the L0N3-WLF was designed to be the second ultimate tracker and is excellent at hunting down singular targets. its a smaller, quicker, singular version of the PACK-13.

sent out less often compared to its siblings, but that doesn't mean it's not as capable. somewhat concerningly, there are some reports of L0N3-WLF units getting in the way of PACK-13s...but that's probably just some weird malfunction.

it is not intended for public use.

it looks almost the same as a single unit that makes up the PACK-13, but slimmer and sleeker.

PoTP AU: Paradise's antichrist Q&A (an infodump really)

(because I need to talk about my silly au even if 3% people read it ejdjdns)

FAIR WARNING THE FOLLOWING WILL CONTAIN MOVIE SPOILERS!!

Let's start with something easy... who or WHAT is Johann Leach?

Johann is... well, they are meant to be percieved as the antichrist within the PoTP universe since they are the result of, what is essentially a right-hand man-vessel for The Devil (Swan) and a fully human person (Winslow) having an offspring.

It's a bit complex to pinpoint exactly in what category Johann would fall under. A hybrid of regular-human and not-entirely-human-anymore-because-of-a-contract ?? Despite their appearence and some of their abilities which can be considered supernatural, they learn and grow much like a human child.

But also.... however Johann will turn out to be as an adult will be reflected from how the parents that raise them are. It's sort of like a changeling kind of situation?? For example: because Winslow and Phoenix are raising them, they will grow up to share MANY physical features that resembles them; this also applies with the mental growth ofc, and it's also where Phoenix becomes extremely important because she helps teaching proper morals and helps Winslow during his emotional ups and downs because of what he's been through. In a way she is what helps Johann become more human, metaphorically and literally.

Now, IF Johann would be left solely in the care of Winslow, or worse- Swan, they'd grow to be a monster. While Winslow is capable of showing parental care and uncondotional love- his emotional instability regarding the Paradise and his boss would lead him to, unitentionally or not, teach Johann that hurting others physically if they have hurt you or wronged you is okay and justified; his insecurity of his disfigurement and fear of his own child rejecting him because of what he really looks like would cause him to Never take off his mask ever for Johann to see him. This would lead Johann to become insecure as well, feeling like they lack some sort of trust/closure with their only parent, as well as becoming more monster-like too, adapting a more bird-like appearence that resembles the Phantom. And on the other hand, if Swan were to raise Johann- they'd look even worse, like a mockery of Swan's actual charming appearence- they'd be a flat out ghoulish, gollum-esque caricature. They'd grow to be more animalistic too since they would not be taught anything at all and instead be hidden from everything and everyone, like a secret one's ashamed to expose; they'd only be fed and occasionally, used as a tactic of intimidation towards workers. Swan wouldn't view Johann as his own child (despite y'know, him being the cause of them existing) and more of a minion he can exploit, much like Winslow. He would be fascinated, but unfortunately would not have a caring bone in his body to raise a whole ass kid.

So, where does that leave us?

It's a bit difficult to say- Johann Leach is a demon-human hybrid who's growing behaviour is very resembling of a changeling. It was mostly inspired by parasitic birds' behaviour of copying the host's babies, from movements down to even physical patterns (such as mouth markings for the mother to recognize as her own), and the movie 'Hatching' (2022).

They may not be entirely human, but their fate is going to be entirely shaped (quite literally) based on what influences are in their life, much like a human.

What supernatural abilities does Johann possess?

They are not many, but they sure are funky!

First and foremost, Johann has the ability to alter their physical form based on their parent/caretaker, as time goes on- they will grow to look like them even though they are their own person; while they can't get rid of their tail (which can just be hidden within clothes and such), their hind legs with change with time and gain a more human form- although if need be (as a mature adult), they'd be capable of transforming them back if they feel the need to flee out of impulse or for feeling threatened, which leads us to the second supernatural ability they have- which is an unnatural speed level. Don't get me wrong it's not some Sonic-level speed, but they'd be able to keep up with a vehicle, mostly thanks to their back legs. (They find it easier to run on all fours too but that is often discouraged by Phoenix because it'd be unnerving to see a human run full-speed towards you on all fours)

This one's more of a supernatural quirk I think... but Johann has retractable dark grey fangs. Again, the color of their teeth is thanks to the previously mentioned behaviour of them copying their caregivers and becoming more like them overtime- Winslow has metal teeth, Johann is copying that dark color pallette (although they do not shine like Winslow's because theirs are completely organic). Their teeth retract into their skull when unused to preserve sharpness + so they can nibble on Winslow as hard as they like since their mouth's basically toothless.

Their teeth being retractable is both an inspo from Toothless (HTTYD) AND a metaphorical reference to Winslow having to get his teeth pulled and replaced when he was first put in Sing Sing 👀

And last but not least! Johann is capable of a banshee's screech, able to break glass and rupture eardrums, when extremely overwhelmed, under pressure, or being overcome by fear- it's kind of a 'fight or flight' vocal response to stun or shatter whatever's causing them distress. Again, this is a metaphorical reference to Winslow's blood-curdling screaming, except it can cause actual damage other than scaring Beef.

How was Winslow able to concieve Johann? What happened?

So this was Winslow's moment of revelation that led him to suspect something paranormal was going on even before Johann was born. Not because of this kinder-surprise pregnancy but because of the 9 months that would follow, I'll elaborate in a moment.

I don't want the idea of Winslow being pregnant to be like THE 'shocking' moment since yanno, trans men are a thing and it's quite natural. I personally never had a staple picture of Winslow being strictly AMAB or AFAB so it's just like- whatever fits best in xyz context and in this case it really doesn't matter. He's "the bearer of the curse" regardless.

Obviously the reason he had a kid in the first place is because he'd been getting intimate with Swan often, whom unbeknownst to him happened to be a Devil Vessel™️ and it just sort of happened. Winslow himself wasn't even aware until he started noticing that a lot of strange symptoms (mainly nausea and fatigue) mixed with a pot belly he couldn't explain, since he could barely keep anything down, could be pregnancy symptoms.

And it doesn't end there. It gets- well, worse and better? During this time period he sort of gains paranormal powers himself, being the carrier of a supernatural creature and all, and he may or may not have caused some chaos here and there during manic episodes (as a result of mood swings + vengance towards Swan) where he believed he was untouchable. (don't worry he quickly loses them after Johann's birth); but also this has it's downsides- with the usual physical pain and discomfort aside, Winslow would experience things such as vivid night terrors where he gets to witness the never-ending suffering in Hell (with a cameo from the Devil himself possibly), projectile vomiting a red mucus-y substance (looks like blood but it is Not blood, it appears to be corrosive towards holy symbols... ), seeing Swan for what he really is, literally. He can see right through his eternally-young facade during these 9 months and each day he's greeted by an increasingly elderly, melty-faced, horned, devil-tailed, and overall monstrous Swan which noticeably puts him on edge every time; and last but not least- somehow Winslow becomes a sort of 'beacon' between his world, and what one would presume is Hell... he becomes the center of attention of some demonic entities who come to foolishly taunt him or push him around- not harm him directly since they're aware of what he's carrying. Now, this can be quite unsettling- but it becomes annoying real fast + it's also a great stress reliever for him since he can't keep killing workers at Paradise if he wants Phoenix to leave without a scratch. And uh. Perhaps use said demons an additional raw snack.

What supernatural abilities does Winslow obtain during this time period?

Mostly telekinetic powers like you'd see in Carrie (1976)! He can move things or flat out shatter them just by intensely glaring at them; he can walk on walls and ceilings, even lie on them (it seems gravity no longer has a logical grip on him for 9 months...); a heightened sense of smell like a cat, which he mainly uses to sniff out foods he's craving- he'd also be capable of landing on his feet or on all fours. He would never ever manage to fall and hit the ground even if he tried. Regardless of how he falls, he will even straight up float in mid-air mere inches from the ground. He is not allowed to get hurt.

How did Winslow successfully keep Swan in the dark about this?

While he did use his powers to help himself keep this a secret from Swan, it's a miracle he didn't find out really. Winslow is not a good liar, so when it came to hide the more 'noticeable' physical changes he was going through, he'd wrap himself up in his cape like a vampire whenever Swan approached him and deliberately act overly dramatic to go along with him hiding in his own cape to make his boss believe it was just 'one of those days'.

There have been times where Swan came comically close to finding out, like one of them running jokes in cartoons. He suspected Winslow was doing something, for example: it couldn't be a coincidence that every camera would keep breaking as soon as Winslow would enter a specific room that very camera was in... but he'd chuck it to being something with reasonable explanation other than, yanno, suddenly developing demonic powers because you're carrying the antichrist? That'd be ridiculous.

Only Swan had some form of what you could call a 'supernatural power', being eternally young and practivally immune to any harm done to him... right?

How did Swan feel about the whole ordeal?

To say that he was fuming during these times would be an understatement. He couldn't understand what in the world was wrong with his songwriter and, what he despised most of all, was that Winslow was somehow sabotaging his cemera equipment- which left him unable to keep an eye on him and potentially lose footage of himself. He was losing control and he hated it.

How did Winslow feel about the whole ordeal?

At first he had no idea what was happening to him either- at first he thought he was dying. Some irreparable side-effect of doing so many drugs while working (which, by the way, he would now violently vomit back out if he tried taking them. Same going for alcohol. His body straight up rejected specific things.); then he believed he had gotten terribly ill or something... then came the powers, which initially scared him- then fascinated him because of course it reminded him of Faust, followed by pure malice as he now finally feels like he has an upper hand over Swan. Somehow.

He, again, didn't fully understand what was happening to him until the day he felt a kick in his stomach when all the pieces of the puzzle sort of fit together. He still wasn't sure why he had powers now, but one thing he was sure of: all this could be traced back to Swan.

And while this did turn on a lightbulb in his head that "huh. Maybe signing my name in blood on a comically large contract isn't very normal. Something's fishy about my 'boss'." This is Winslow we're talking about, and he quickly shoves that realization aside to mischievously plot how to use his new powers for revenge, and of course he has moments where he's on a power trip and feels like he can kill whoever he wants do whatever he wants; this leads to delusions such as taking over the world AKA the music industry but thankfully he never actually acts up on these thoughts.

Lesson of the day: don't give the mad composer psychic powers.

🚗 ✈️❤️💔🔶 for Zersior my beloved?👀 can be both canon and modern au

🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars?

Gw2 canon not entirely sure you need any license.. but he does know how to ride and handle the typical raptor and jackal-esque mounts, he's not touching that flying shit. He's likely been in a tank a couple of times as well and if it ever came down to it he could figure out how to drive it on the fly but again, not touching that flying shit (airships)

Modern AU he does have a driver's license and knows how to both drive a car and a bike, he has a beat-up car he bought from a used yard but it's well taken care of. With all the odd jobs he takes on he knows how operate other machinery as well like forklifts and so on but that doesn't mean he has a license (tfw your cringe fail boyfriend isn't forklift certified)

✈️ AIRPLANE — does your oc like traveling, or do they consider themselves a more homey person?

He's definitely more of the traveling type, not necessarily because he likes traveling but he's just always on the go and he's accommodating enough that he can temporarily settle anywhere. Both in gw2 canon and modern au he has a little apartment which he goes back to often enough but y'know. Given the chance he could be pretty homey but especially in canon... world to save, necromancers with no self preservation to bodyguard.

❤️ RED HEART — what are three of your oc's positive traits?

I'm always so bad with thesefhsklskdf traits are just a soup of personality I don't know, but uhm. Despite his typical mercenary persona he is very kind and generous and will go out it his way to make people feel at ease

💔 BROKEN HEART — what are three of your oc's negative traits?

He does tend to be... somewhat disingenuous, he's pleasant sure but that doesn't mean he's always expressing how he feels 🌚 typical jokester keeping all that shit close to his chest

He also tends to be really stubborn, if he puts his mind to something he's going to see it through, even to his own determent.

And third uuuuh does killing people count?

🔶 LARGE ORANGE DIAMOND — does your oc know cpr? do they have any other medical expertise?

He does know cpr! He has at least a basic knowledge of emergency procedures to at least stabilize someone until an actual healer comes about and again, has a basic knowledge of patching someone up, he definitely wouldn't call himself a healer (though he's been getting that practice in with Siyvhe smh)

#drew a blank w the traits one but 🏃‍♀️ thank you for the ask #he shall be developed yet!! #zersior

[fellcharas]

I always thought error and inks differences sort of…..completed each other, I guess? I’m not sure how to put it.

Having ink around consistently, having that one constant in his life could really help stabilize error, both emotionally and probably physically as well since he seems to glitch worse when he’s upset.

Having error in his life would help ink feel SEEN, like he doesn’t have to ‘be useful’ or justify his existence. There’s someone there who loves HIM, and he never has to be afraid of being alone or forgotten or abandoned.

I just feel like they could both help heal each other, y’know?

NO I AGREE 100%

i think their differences complete each other too! to me i just never see people talk about their similarities - but then again, it's those similarities that make their differences stand out so much more in my mind!

they are definitely constants for each other, too. i mean, considering error remembers nothing about who he was as geno except for the sheer resentment and anger moments before becoming a glitch, it's no wonder he feels so conflicted about the multiverse. he's selfishly selfless, in a way, because he resents having all those ridiculous versions of him get a happy ending when he didn't, while also not wanting the same exact situation that he went through to be repeated.

and ink's whole relationship to the creators is something that i view to be both emotionally and mentally unhealthy, y'know? like, it gets into his head that he's "above" everyone else because he has this special connection - a connection made by being gifted paints that allow him to feel - and in response to that connection, he wants it to be consistent and reciprocal, so he feels like he owes the creators his entire existence.

their main differences are in these things - that ink feels like his existence can only be justified by appealing to the creators, which means to keep them around and keep himself from being forgotten, more AUs and conflict must be created. but then there's error, who feels like his existence cannot be truly justified, that everything has gone wrong for him - why him? he asks himself - and that stirs such a deep burning bitterness inside of him.

so yeah, while they could absolutely clash and have trouble seeing eye to eye in respect of their circumstances, it's also possible that such differences are what make them get along so well! because they're on totally opposite sides of perspective, yet on the same exact spectrum.

it's kind of like how i'm somewhat of an optimistic nihilist, and my best friend is a more pessimistic nihilist. we definitely don't see completely eye to eye on our outlooks on life, but we also understand that these things are littered with complexities and nuance and that's why we still get along. because there's so much variation.

it's honestly just really fun to dissect error and ink and wonder what their dynamic would be like with respect to their canon characters - or as close to canon as possible - because it goes over so much that fanon has, in large part, ignored or forgotten

#inkling.asks #here i go rambling again AHHH DSFHSFJDFF #SORRY!!!!! i just love talking about them sooo much. so much #as much as i would love to be like 'yes i think they should kiss and just live a domestic sweet life in a faraway au' #i also. LOVE. talking about the cosmic existentialism that is prevalent in both their characters. it's so FASCINATINGLY META #and i love it???? i love it. like. because i am very lazy i would opt out for a sweet slice of life domestic au any day #but it's so much fun to talk about them like this because i hardly ever see it talked about *anywhere* #there's also so much i could talk about in regards to their individual senses of morality!!!! #like most people think that ink and error wouldn't get along because of their moral differences #but the thing you have to understand is that their morality is shaped HEAVILY by their circumstances #their morality is not all that different aside from the differences they have in their goals or... 'positions' within the multiverse #they only do what they think is right. and that's one thing they could understand about each other too #even if those things they feel are right are things they disagree with each other on

"suguru how do you expect me to read when my heart is in a million pieces?"

he doesn't think he's ever met a person as dramatic as you are.

"these books can't teach me how to get laid."

it's kind of cute, though. annoying...but cute.

with the november breeze sweeping the leaves from every tree on campus, winter is approaching fast and geto feels like your irritation towards gojo is at an overwhelming high. there really isn't anything he can do about it. after all, he wasn't there when you oh-so-spontaneously confessed your undying love for satoru on halloween; to which you received a brutal rejection...this is why geto doesn't date— especially why he doesn't date in a world run by satoru gojo.

now, geto has done his very best at trying to distract you from the devastating heartbreak that comes with loving his best friend. there have many so many girls before you who've tried to get on with him after being ignored by the white haired boy; which is extremely insulting that any of them thought geto would be an easy target or a second option to satoru. when geto does fall in love, he hopes that it'll be with someone who chooses him first. someone who doesn't even consider their other options and believes that he's the only person in the entire world who can fit with their uneven puzzle piece. clearly, gojo isn't the person to fit with yours.

"maybe you just need to sit down and be silent?" he purses his lips in annoyance, trying his best to focus on the words of poetry and rhyme. poems are the language of love. you could take some advice from these lines. "you're talking so much that you're not even enjoying the book."

you groan. "this book is boring. who the fuck reads poetry for fun?"

um. he does.

the glare he sends your way is intimidating, but also gentle. "what would you like to read instead? since you're such an avid reader?"

his sarcasm is meant to be insulting.

a mischievous smile creeps into the corners of your lips; smile likes yours used to scare him as a child after having seen alice in wonderland one too many times. he never understood the other children's fascination with a purple, talking cat. it's just weird. "how about this one!"

the book your present to him isn't anything he's read before. actually, it's something that he hopes to never read ever. "you're kidding."

"dead serious!"

how is a cheesy romance supposed to make you feel better?

"that's just going to make you feel worse, y'know." he gently takes the book from your hands and shuffles through the pages. with his head nodding along to each words his eyes skim, it's painfully obvious that you're going to read this book imagining the male lead to be satoru. "you have such an active imagination, you'll be heartbroken all over again."

with his words, your smile melts and geto knows he's right. "satoru is a lost cause in the romance department." he explains, scooting a little closer to you and rubbing your knee. the two of you have been seated on the floor of the lovely little bookshop near campus for an hour now. you're practically the only two people in the entire store, which has made this fake date feel a little more real. "i promise that you're better off dating anyone other than him."

you don't move away from the comfort of his palm, and instead lean into it; but your words are in defense of gojo. they always are. you can't seem to find it in your heart to let him go— no matter how awful of a rejection. "he's not a bad guy. he just needs a little help learning how to love."

the look in your eyes is earnest and geto sees that you believe your statements with your whole heart.

"i can be the person to help him learn."

there's no physical tell that you're upset, but he can somehow sense that you're about to cry. maybe it's the way you slightly tensed up with your body rejecting his soft touch or the way your gaze refused to meet his; no matter, he's going to cheer you up anyways. there aren't many people that geto can make smile— but somehow, in the past four months of being your friend (?), you've become the only person he cares to cheer up.

he murmurs your name in the most comforting, gentle voice that anyone's ever spoken to you. "you are the most talented, most interesting, and most extraordinary person in the universe; and you are capable of amazing things—"

"because you are the special. suguru, i've seen the lego movie. you're not being slick." aw man.

your tone of voice is irritated, yet you still laugh. yes, geto knows that might possibly have been the stupidest and cheesiest thing he's done in his whole life, but he doesn't care. he made you smile. him! not satoru. geto suguru made you smile. it's not something he'd win an olympic medal for, though in his mind it's worth more than that. he doesn't know when you became so special to him. he doesn't know how you managed to creep your way into his heart and cause this embarrassing blush to consume his cheeks; and he isn't bothered to figure it out.

he doesn't want to rejoice in your heartbreak...however, there is a tiny part of him that's happy satoru doesn't love you back.

maybe it's finally time suguru gets to be loved.

Listen, I hate gatekeepers and elitist fans as much as the next guy,

but

there's a huge distinction between canon Enjolras: Don't like your current government? Overthrow it through violent revolution. I don't like killing people but it can be a necessary evil. Stage a coup. The people have to rise as a whole.

and then fanon Enjolras, who's typically more along the lines of: Change can happen from the inside!🥺🥺 Small changes lead to big ones! 🥺🥺 No, R, you can't be an anarchist! (also usually a liberal, but like aggressively liberal.)

Jehan Prouvaire is also a good example. He dies one of the most courageous deaths in the entire canon, but in fics he's often reduced to 'soft uwu poet/flower boy'. And yeah, that's sweet, but, y'know. Diminishes his character a lot?

I'm not saying that I want everyone to be serious all the time about everything. I myself read and write fluffy fics all the time. (i just want them to be happy, okay?) But it's also really weird seeing such a drastic change between the original works and the fanon material, especially considering that they're supposed to be these radical idealist revolutionaries.

(now, granted, a lot of the works that are prime examples of this tend to be older fics written around the 2013-2016 period where i'm pretty sure a majority of the fandom were, like, fourteen year olds, and again, i cannot stress how much i am not one to talk, but yeah.)

Many fics also make l'ABC primarily focus on queer issues. Which, yeah, great! But, same issue with greatly diminishing their entire purpose and existence, specifically in canon. They often just have chronically online ideas, (which makes sense, because they were written online, but still.) I mean, I headcanon most of the characters -- scratch that, all of the characters (personally transmasc R and transfemme Jehan are some of my favs) -- as queer and/or trans, but that's not their focus, or point, and being queer shouldn't be used as a main plot point, unless it's something specifically just about queer rights or queer theory. But if it's just a normal fic, as a queer person, it gets boring and quite frankly kind of annoying when being queer is the only thing that gets talked about. I mean, if you're going for realism, whether in a historical or modern AU, being queer can't be, like, ignored, it has to be acknowledged, as characters' environments and existence in heteronormative sOciETy would probably hold some relevance in their relationship, but I just don't think it should be the entire point.

This isn't to say that they can't be soft or feminine. No. Give them skirts and makeup. Make them defy gender norms. Objectify them all you want, I don't care.

I mean, this could just be me throwing a hissy-fit over something small, but it does bother me.

It's just interesting to see and it kind of just goes to show that you can put several young and canonically attractive and charming young (shippable) male characters with funny personalities that fit gently into a mould and people just take that and fucking run with it.

soz for the rant lol

[sarahdraws-sometimes]

Hello, so I cannot stress this enough.

It's.. no surprise that I'm a Pale King liker. My blog has (kind of?) been centered around him since the beginning, when I decided to sell my soul and make a Tumblr page.

Apparently, there is a very... Unique and small side of the Hollow Knight fanbase who believes that the Pale King is simply 'misunderstood', and tries to justify his actions/put down other characters to make him look nicer than he truly was, just as a 'reason' to like him.

I'm going to say it right now, this is not me. And if you are like this, then you are on thin fucking ice.

.

I like the Pale King simply for what we know about him that fits with the canon of the story. The Pale King is a figure who was praised by many bugs, however he is not what he seemed, and was doing many questionable things behind the scenes to get rid of the infection, and the Radiance. It is very fun to play with his character, and come up with many interpretations for his character. That is what I enjoy him for.

However, interpretations are just that. They aren't canonical by any means. And... Yeah, I am guilty of having a couple headcanons about tpk that is positive, in a way. But never, would I ever try to convince others that tpk is something that he is not. My headcanons are not intended to clash with canon, nor are they intended to appear canonical, if they even do. I just try and think of certain situations in a different light. Y'know, for fun, and nothing more than that.

What the point of this entire post is, is that... Apparently, people are trying to justify his actions, or just downright denying canon, for the sole reason to make tpk look "not as bad" in comparison to other morally grey characters within the Hollow Knight universe. This is NOT what I intend to do with any of my posts that even remotely sheds any positive light onto a very very dark and complex character such as him. I do NOT understand those who are putting down characters like the Radiance, and just making up random bullshit about her, and fuck it, even making up shit about the Pale King, just so there's a 'good' reason to like him.

Guys, there is literally nothing wrong with accepting the faults of a character you enjoy. Why the fuck are we making shit up about this game's canon, just so we can enjoy a character as twisted as the Pale King? The Pale King is already interesting on his own, as a very mysterious character with a LOT of responsibility and power in his hands. There is no other character in the world of Hollow Knight as influential to the story as the Pale King. That alone is enough reason for me to enjoy his character. Why are these particular few trying to convince the rest of the fanbase that the Pale King basically did nothing wrong, that he's misunderstood, and that other characters are awful and just as bad as him, JUST so you can like him? Because at that point, you don't even like the Pale King, you like a very altered version of him in a universe that simply is not canonical in any sense. It's just nonsense. And no, there truly is no wrong in having your headcanons, no matter how much they clash with canon. But when you alter and change a charcater, and OTHER characters THIS much, just to make your fav seem like a better person they really are, and try to convince your following that he is a good person, then what the fuck are you doing?

And, AUs are perfectly fine! If you have an AU that flips the canon for fun, then good on you. I have a ton of AU ideas always rattling in my head, most of them fuck around with hk's canon because why not? But if you are gonna sit there and tell me that, canonically, the Pale King was not a bad person, then what the fuck. That's just you misleading your audience.

YOU CAN LIKE A VILLAIN WITHOUT FEELING THE NEED TO JUSTIFY THEIR ACTIONS. JFC GUYS. THEY ARE VILLAINS FOR A REASON. The Pale King is an AWFUL, piece of shit person, that simply has ZERO redeeming qualities. And to me, that's quite alright. The fact that he is so villainous, yet praised by some blind bugs in Hallownest, is all I need to love his character.

The fact that I feel the need to even make this post after disappearing for MONTHS says quite a bit about how upset this shit makes me. It's incredibly embarrassing for me to know that other Pale King likers try and justify his actions rather than just accepting him as a villain. Just. Like the Pale King for what he is, and not what you WANT him to be.

That's all. I'm pinning this post because I don't want this to get buried as I plan to start posting more HK artwork again.

Edit; I know I've "defended" tpk in the past, but that was just more of me trying to get my original interpretations of him out there rather than actually justifying his actions. I wrote that awhile ago and even partially disagree with stuff I said (for example, the 'he cared for his people', especially considering it was a rather weak point anyway). And as I just said, it was mostly just interpretations, filling in the gaps with things we simply don't know much about. The plot of hk is incredibly vague to the point where the backstory could be viewed from multiple angles, thus the post. It was a pretty weak post overall and I hate that its still being spread around. If you were introduced to this blog because of that post then I am deeply sorry. If I knew a lot of PK enjoyers acted this way then I wouldn't have had the balls to post that lolol ok. edit over

#hollow knight #the pale king #pale king #also #FYI shit like this makes me ASHAMED to enjoy tpk #i dont know how many people do this but. just stop man #i really dont want to be viewed as someone who does this just bc i like tpk #this may or may not be a vaguepost #oh btw! uou can fucking like the pale king and the radiance at the same time! #why are we putting down one to favor the other #its just so tasteless imo #longpost #sorry tjis is long i am just. tired #and dont wanna be paired with imbeciles that do this LOL #my url is pale fuckhead for a reason #hes simply a fuckhead #also the reason im so heated ab this is #an artist i really looked up to is apparently like this #so fml

Jaylock, specifically with transmasc Jekyll? T4T legends.

Ah yes, my favorite mix; a trans guy who wants to get trample by a big, strong werewolf, and a trans werewolf who is basically just a puppy. Hell yes <3

Also did I say that these were going to be complimentary to canon? Ahahah well I have no idea how to do that with thi- oh yeah it's an au it doesn't have to be canon complaint ahah nvm also realize i keep steering these to how these ship begins but eh no one has complained so far <3

Also at this point I think I will have to put in keep reading links bc these are getting long sjdhfsjdf

MMmokay. We can all agree that Jasper had a huge crush on Henry from the beginning? Good.

Like, Henry saved him from the cops, was incredibly nice to him from the beginning, and showed him/let him join the Society in the first place. Jasper looks up to him a lot. Henry becomes his only real friend (except for Rachel but... Well... She is more out to get with him rather than be friends with him) so of course he would just... Really... Really... Like Henry after a while.

Virginia catches Jasper watching Henry talking to some of the other Lodgers at some point and she knows exactly what he is thinking. He can try defending himself for exactly 3 seconds before all excuses die in his throat and Virginia begins to pat his back.

"That's normal, mate. Everyone has a crush on Henry at some point." - "Everyone????" - "Yep. You won't hear half of this lot admit it, but everyone has had some kind of crush on him." - "Even you?" - "I said everyone, didn't I?"

Cue a lot of embarrassment from Jasper, cue a lot of understanding and sympathetic gossiping by the other Lodgers, cue a lot of "What do you mean that's the best thing about Henry?", cue a lot of "don't worry, you'll get over the crush soon!".

Except he doesn't. He waits days, weeks, maybe even months, but the crush never disappears. The fact that Henry is so stupidly sweet and caring and loves to spend time with him doesn't help Jasper's situation at all. And the Lodgers notice, and the Lodgers tease him about it.

Henry, as often, remains blissfully unaware.

Or at least that's what Jasper thinks. When Henry comes around to his lab to say hi and check in, and when he brings him some sweets that he claims Rachel sent him to give to him, and when Henry just so happens to eye Jasper up and down, Jasper believes that Henry is just being... Friendly. Very friendly.

And he is just being friendly, at least Henry tells himself that too. Or maybe it's the way he sometimes have a hard time looking away from the werewolf that he realizes that he is... Quite accidentally... Being a bit more than friendly.

And then Jasper-- accidentally or inaccidentally-- comes out to Henry. Perhaps it would be like the same panic in canon but him actually confessing to Henry instead, or Henry would maybe accidentally walk in on Jasper changing. Either way, Jasper halfly panics and Henry just gets the brightest grin on his face, so excited, before he immediately tells Jasper that he can be calm because he understands perfectly!

He doesn't even manage to get out that he, too, is trans, before he immediately starts asking Jasper if he has started to medically transitioned-- like "have you had any surgeries? Or have you taken potions? Oh there are a lot of good potions to change-- personally, Lanyon helped me with surgeries but I made some helpful potions for Virginia-- Oh did you know Virginia is like us, too? But reverse, of course--"

Henry is just. Rambling to poor Jasper. Poor Jasper who is permanently stuck in a :O. He can barely process the words that his very own crush is telling him. For a moment his brain shortcuts and all he can do is to stare at Henry-- the way he is so wildly gesturing as the words roll off of his tongue at 100 words per second. But then Henry notices Jasper's confusion, and he stops, and he repeats himself. He is trans, too.

It ends up with the two of them having a long, long conversation about gender identity as the evening wears on. Henry tells Jasper practically everything he knows about it. He tells him how it wasn't until he started puberty that he realized that it felt wrong, but he couldn't fully transition until later on in life. Lanyon helped him with surgeries but it wasn't until he fully started playing into alchemy that he found and created potions that could help with transitions.

To make a long story short, Henry promises to help Jasper with transitions.

Maybe that's why they suddenly kept getting closer after that. They could relate to each other. Suddenly they wanted to spend more time together. Oh wow huh they are really spending a lot of time together. Wow they are sitting really close... Huh... Wow, wow, wow, Henry is certainly in Jasper's personal space... And Jasper is not pulling away...

Oh wow they smooching. So much smooching. So much smooching yet it's so soft and careful and gentle, Jasper practically melts; melts into the kiss just as much as he melts into Henry's arms.

Aight now some time for the actual relationship hcs.

Hai yes I have said this with every ship so far but consider; cuddles. Jasper is a cuddle bug, Henry craves the warmth and affection.

(Both of them can agree that their favorite cuddles are the full moon cuddles when Jasper is just. A fluffy werewolf. And Henry can bury his entire self into his fur).

Boyfriends helping each other with hormone injections? Boyfriends helping each other with hormone injections.

Sometimes Henry will be very swamped in paperwork, sometimes Jasper wants cuddles, sometimes they compromise and Jasper gets to sit on Henry's lap while he does paperwork. Sometimes Zosi or Christopher will be jealous and it will end up with them in Jasper's lap, too.

Jasper is the only one that supports Henry's obsession with wanting every pet he finds. Jasper is also Henry's alibi when a new stray animal ends up in the Society ("ahah what do you mean "new stray" that's Abby, y'know, one of Jasper's pets").

Jasper's main goal in life is to hear Henry talking in his Scottish accent as much as possible. Jasper is the only one Henry allows to hear it.

Cuddles in bed with Jasper tracing Henry's chest scars (is... Is there an actual word for those scars? Ahaha I don't know) and Henry stroking his hands over Jasper's sides, almost happy that Jasper didn't have to go through surgeries like he did.

Rachel and Robert teasing Henry for having a thing for werewolves? Rachel and Robert teasing Henry for having a thing for werewolves.

So many smooches. Henry can't keep his lips off of Jasper for more than a minute most of the time. So many hugs and so many cuddles after a long day of boring meetings and socializing. Jasper always giggles because he is super ticklish.

Henry reading a book or the newspaper on the couch, reading glasses hanging low on his nose, drinking a glass of wine with his free hand while Jasper is seated on his lap, head rested against his shoulder as he gently snoozes bc poor boy is tired <3

Henry has... Stupidly many nicknames for Jasper. "Fluffball", "Fluffpuff", "Sweetheart", "Wolfie", "My Mister", "Little Sir". He literally will come up with something on the spot and stick with it because Jasper will always giggle and blush.

Surprisingly, Henry is the clingy one. He is also the small spoon most of the time. Man is just skin and bone, he can curl up perfectly so that Jasper, i.e chubby and strong legend McGee, can hold him <3

Virginia third-wheels them a lot. It will start as her trying to have a conversation with her mentor and fellow trans legend and then they will be interrupted by a clingy (and also fellow trans legend) Jasper who came to Jekyll's office in the search for some attention and affection. It ends up with Jasper on Henry's lap while Henry continues his conversation with Virginia like nothing happened.

Jasper was the first one to get to know about Hyde. He was... Surprisingly unbothered and casual about it. That was, at least, until Hyde pinned him against a wall one night and began to flirt with him. Jasper was quite sure his face exploded with blush.

Hyde loves to tease Jasper. Henry constantly tells him off for being... Ah, well, uhm... AH... Too "flirty" with him, so to speak. Jasper has learned to turn the other way and run every time he catches the sight of blond hair or a whiff of spearmint unless he wants to get a heart attack.

Have I told you how much I love the thought of werewolf cuddles?

Also, full werewolf!Jasper basically losing his... Um, sense of awareness? Like he forgets that he is human and he often forgets who the people in his surroundings are, unlike when he was a half-werewolf and fully aware.

What I'm saying is; give me werewolf!Jasper being so incredibly curious by Henry and sniffing him everywhere, somehow opening his shirt just so he can lick his scars because the pack and mate instincts in Jasper is through the roof and his mate is hurt why is he hurt wHO HURT HIM hE SHALL HEAL HIM THROUGH THE POWER OF KISSES.

Henry kissing Jasper's snout. Henry rubbing Jasper's belly. Henry constantly praising and complimenting Jasper.

Henry always making sure Jasper knows how handsome and manly he is. Henry always making sure that Jasper has clothes that aren't torn or dirty and that are comfortable and fits well. Henry doting on Jasper.

Jasper always being there for Henry when things get rough. Jasper stating everything that he loves with Henry and kissing him on the nose when all Henry wants to do is smash his head against the desk and cry. Jasper and Henry taking care of each other <3

📓📓 I know you probably have a bunch so now you have to give me two :3

i have. WAY too many fanfic ideas... SO HERE ARE TWO off the top of my head- (p5r spoilers incoming!)

the first i've mentioned before but i'm desperate to manifest it so here it is again in more detail- it's kind of an alternative take on how maruki's entire arc goes. so instead of shido simply pulling some strings to cut off maruki's cognitive psience research, he ALSO finds a way to displace maruki from the city (the total details not being worked out rn, but perhaps blacklisting him or just smearing his name in a way that he really has nowhere else to go?) and he ends up finding a placement in the inaba general hospital as a last resort. so that, along with everything that happened to rumi of course, he's absolutely distraught and isolated- focusing solely on his research.

at the same time, the police are still unable to really pin anything down on adachi from the serial murders, and he's been essentially stuck in detention center purgatory for ages now. all the psychologists going in can't find anything really wrong with him, except his insistence on how the crimes took place. one day, maruki is the one to go in and evaluate adachi, and, well... adachi tells him the same thing, but maruki is wholly on-board/believes adachi, much to his surprise (and eventual chagrin!)

so the fic ends up being about maruki's research being built on adachi's talk of the TV world, the TV world itself (with an unwitting chaperone adachi), as well as him having more direct and immediate access to the world! i'm not 100% sure how it'd end up, but i like the idea of them slowly getting to know each other, as well as maruki manifesting a shadow from all of his repressed emotions/etc. would azathoth still call to him, or would that happen as a penultimate thing when adachi (and perhaps some of the inaba-based it?) have to rescue him from his probable dungeon? if this became a huge fic, i think it'd be fascinating to explore the dream reality in terms of the p4 cast, too.

-

my second idea is a much more simple premise, but i wanted to explore plot implications as well as just how much would change from a akira/akechi swap au- and it kind of spiralled out of control from there and became its own beast, oops. essentially, akechi would still have his revenge plot, and attempt to approach shido, but would be interrupted by being sucked into the metaverse somehow (unsure exactly HOW yet, but, y'know, details.) he ends up in shido's palace, and barely escapes alive with morgana in tow- butterfly effect! i want to strengthen all of the details and intricacies, but essentially he's found by wakaba who was on her way to/from work, and she takes him in (already suspecting he had a brush with the cognitive world), temporarily at first, but finding out his situation and how well he gets on with futaba, he ends up more or less boarding there. (kind of as a parallel to how sojiro takes in akira in original canon!)

the main things about this au were that akechi still is operating on wanting to take shido down, as well as all of his trauma, so he has a LOT of baggage to work with and through. he'd have little to no control over which persona he had out at any given time (robin hood or loki) and it'd make him a huge liability, switching between them with really no choice. futaba, being more open and curious and willing to reach out, ends up sneaking/strongarming her way onto akechi's team as his navi pretty early on (and i love working on the half-sibling theory assumption ESPECIALLY in this au for that!)

there's a lot of unconnected pieces, but i was also thinking a lot about how without morgana, akira would really have no idea how to change hearts- so i considered that he, ryuji and ann would be desperate to take down kamoshida after everything that happens, and accidentally cause a mental shutdown. shido possibly traces this back to them, and i feel like akira would take responsibility/be blackmailed into working for shido in the way akechi ended up doing in original canon. THERE'S A LOT MORE RANDOM THINGS, but i'll stop there for now, haha. ALL IN ALL i love exploring swap aus when they cause huge domino effects that change really huge aspects of character relationships/plot developments!

[bigskydreaming]

Hi! I saw a post on Duke being robin and never being acknowledged, and correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he only one of the many Robins in We are Robin? From what I read, he joined the Bats as Signal, not Robin.

Should he really be included as Robin?

He was a Robin in an alternate universe/timeline thingie, and at one point he was being pushed as a character codenamed 'Lark' with a kind of yellow Robin costume before they settled on the Signal as his ultimate persona. But a lot of that was like, when he was still in his developmental stage and Snyder was kinda...idk, trying different things out with him through various 'alternate takes' before debuting him or developing him much in the main continuity? Its kinda weird.

But yeah for the most part 'officially' he was only ever Robin as one of the many Robins in the We Are Robin movement, and isn't really considered an official Robin as such. BUT the unofficial side of things has to be considered, because a lot of his fans - with validity - view DC as having done a bait and switch with his character, where he was initially teased and hyped as the first black Robin, but then they pulled back from that and made him something else entirely....with a lot of people suspecting that DC refrained from making him an actual Robin because of his race. Like, given comics' shitty track record with antiblackness, the optics are something that have to be considered here, and so between the fact that Duke was 'initially' a Robin, even if only in alternate takes, and the behind the scenes based switcheroo between how DC was initially talking him up versus how he debuted.....people who call him a Robin aren't coming out of nowhere, y'know?

Personally, I don't write him as 'a Robin' specifically except for AU takes (like I have one AU I've been playing around with forever where both Duke and Tim are co-Robins at the same time), but then again, even though Steph was definitively a Robin in the comics, I don't tend to focus on her time as one overly much either. This though is largely because as much as I like both characters, my personal focus character is obviously Dick Grayson, so the lion's share of what I headcanon and meta about tends to be about how other characters relate to him or things about them THROUGH his POV, if you get what I mean?

And from that perspective, there's not a ton to say about EITHER Steph OR Duke as Robins, because......in both cases that had absolutely nothing to do with him. And since I'm also so big on like, the initial meaning of Robin and what Dick created it to be and why, and how I don't think it really works (or at least is massively diluted) when Robin is completely divorced from Dick and his personal connection with it, I'm just like....that's where my interest in the concept, the mantle, lies y'know? Its not that there's NOT stuff to explore in either Steph or Duke as Robins, its just that I already have a ton to explore about the Robin mantle outside of their connection to it, to such an extent that its not something I'm likely to spend too much time on?

Also, at the same time, there's the fact that personally, from an in character/in-universe perspective, I think there's MORE to explore between Dick and both Steph and Duke when its NOT about Robin, but rather, when its about their self-created personas, Spoiler and the Signal, specifically. I think there's a lot more to comment on and build upon when examining Dick's view of and interactions with these two members of the Batfamily, who unlike most of the others, originated their own mantles just like he did himself. Even most of the others' LATER mantles, like Red Hood and Red Robin and Batgirl, were based on something else, but Steph and Duke created Spoiler and the Signal ENTIRELY out of their own personal motivations for being vigilantes and what those mantles meant to THEM, specifically. I think that's something that Dick can really relate to and respects, and gives them an individual bond or dynamic with him that isn't in any way overlapped with any of the other Robins.

But again....that's all from an in-universe perspective. Although that's MY personal preferred focus, I recognize the situation with Duke and the is he or isn't he stance DC took with him being a Robin, and so I'm not going to argue with anyone who DOES classify him as a Robin, because again, there's validity. Same as with people who put more emphasis on Steph as a Robin than I do. Because again, speaking to optics, let's not kid ourselves that Robin is a bit of a 'prestige position' as far as comic book AUDIENCES go, and gives a character built in name recognition to be associated with, and Steph being female and Duke being black have everything in the world to do with why they're less associated with the mantle than others - even if you argue that 'no, they're just less associated with it because they spent less time connected to it' - well again, how do you pretend that had NOTHING to do with the fact that they were the two characters out of all the Robins that DC seemed least inclined to explore or keep connected to a mantle as high profile as Robin? All of this is stuff that I think is just useful and important to keep in mind when examining the issue from multiple angles.

And ultimately, I think most people know that I personally don't spend too much time examining the Robin mantle as a prestige position and in fact a ton of my diatribes about Tim fans, lol, tends to be about how much emphasis certain fandom debates place on characters 'earning Robin' or 'not deserving Robin' when I think from an in character/in universe position, that's a terrible take that completely misses the point of the mantle and its significance WITHIN the Batfamily specifically....and thus I just don't have a ton to say on the out of universe perspective. The in universe one keeps me plenty occupied.

BUT that doesn't mean ignoring that the out of universe perspective EXISTS, and so while I'm not prone to focusing on it, I acknowledge its there and respect other peoples' focus on it, and like, totally get and 'am fine' with others calling Duke a Robin, for whatever that's worth. (Which isn't really much because who the fuck even cares if I personally am fine with it, lmao, but you know what I mean hopefully.)

[picnokinesis]

your profile on ao3 mentions you like Pacific Rim have you ever considered a series 12 cast (so 13 + fam + master) pacrim au? bc weirdly enough i feel like spydoc would actually be drift compatible

OH MY DAYS ok I had to write this out on a note on my phone because I have so many thoughts, pacrim aus come like BREATHING to me, but consider:

Koschei Oakdown (he/him), teenage heir of some kind of rich and powerful business man who moved his family inland when the Kaiju attacks began. His father is essentially grooming Koschei to be his successor, but Koschei has zero interest - all he wants is to go back to the coastal city of Vancouver where he grew up, so he can stay with his best friend Theta Lungbarrow (they/them) and study things he's actually interested, like xenobiology, since he's certain that the only way to defeat the kaiju is to understand them. It only takes a few weeks for him to get sick of the whole thing and run away, heading back to Vancouver - but the day he arrives, the kaiju Karloff attacks. He survives, and finds Theta, who also survived - but their parents were not so lucky. Koschei's parents believe that he's dead, and Koschei has no intention of correcting them on that, and so him and Theta end up in the care of the state, and he begins to start studying xenobiolology. Theta, on the other hand, has become somewhat obsessed with the idea of jaegers, after watching Brawler Yuhkon fight against Karloff - the first jaeger to ever fight a kaiju - and win. They want to build jaegers and be a pilot, and even Koschei won't deny that there's no way the two of them aren't drift compatible.

Fast forward a few years - Theta and Koschei are two young but brilliant scientists working for the PPDC, Theta in J-Tech and Koschei in K-Science. Theta is working on a new technological approach to building jaegers and also messing with the Drift interface, to see if the synchronisation between pilots can be increased, whilst Koschei is looking for weaknesses in the kaiju's biology. However, they're both entirely invested in each other's research and tend to argue quite intensely in order to brainstorm and have breakthroughs - much to the despair of everyone in the j-tech and k-science departments. But one thing Theta wants more than anything is to pilot a jaeger - even though on paper they have no chance, having not been to Jaeger academy or anything. But Caitlin Lightcap (the pilot of Brawler Yuhkon and inventor of the drift interface) also didn't go to jaeger academy. She just put herself in the position where they HAD to let her in a jaeger by completing the first drift with D'onofrio and saving his life. And so, because Theta entirely lacks self preservation, they persuade Koschei that it's a good idea to test out their new drift technology on themselves. Because the other issue is funding - no one wants to support an experimental rig or jaeger design until Theta can prove that it works. So they will.

And that's EXACTLY what they do, and they're extremely lucky it doesn't kill them but they get it to work and it's fantastic. The Drift is stronger than any before it. And so (after the pair of them get pulled out of an experimental rig and get into a LOT of trouble), they manage to persuade the PPDC to 1) let them build a new jaeger and 2) be the two who pilot it, since they've alread forged a drift bond in the new interface.

And so the jaeger Gallifrey Ember is born.

BUT THEN. They have several extremely successful deployments, until one fateful night where it all goes very wrong. I'm not sure exactly what happens because this is all off the top of my head this morning and I'm currently walking to work HAHA but I'm gonna say that maybe Koschei thought there was some xenobiology knowledge that they could use to fight against this specific kaiju (which is something he's done before and it's partly why their missions are so successful) but as he goes to dig for it, he accidentally pulls up the memory of the Karloff attack, and ends up chasing the rabbit. Only, because the new interface has their minds so intertwined, it knocks the pair of them out of alignment even worse than it would have otherwise (especially since their trauma memories are from the same event) and their drift just goes completely. As you can imagine, it all goes very badly a la Gispy Danger vs Knifehead, only the city they're trying to protect gets hit pretty bad and there are a LOT of casulaties - more than ever since the jaeger programme started deploying. I think in the end it's Theta who, mostly bearing the neural load alone, has to do something drastic to stop the kaiju - maybe killing it in a way that spills Kaiju Blue everywhere and just poisons the land/water. Anyway after that Theta is EXTREMELY ANGRY at Koschei, and he's mad at HER for being mad at him because sorry for having trauma memories and accidentally triggering them?? But she's like I KNOW I also have those memories and you left me to basically pilot alone??? But anyway it's all a mess, Gallifrey Ember is basically destroyed and the pair of them are injured, traumatised, and unreconcilable, and so they decide that they're never drifting again and basically go separate ways. No one ever uses Theta's drift or jaeger tech again because it's considered too dangerous or volatile.

FAST FORWARD SEVERAL YEARS AGAIN. Enter Ryan Sinclair - young j-tech engineer who looks at the original Gallifrey Ember specs and is like "hey, no, this WORKED but it's just it went wrong one time and now no one will touch it, but maybe I can fix this old beat up jaeger and make it work again?". And so he rebuilds the jaeger - and names it Gallifrey Inferno instead. But, of course, no one wants to pilot it because of it's history, and also it really needs two pilots who are used to this sort of interface, rather than trying to train two new pilots (also, what new pilots?? The funding for the jaeger programme is getting cut by the day, and the jaeger pilot academies are all getting shut down). So, in short - they need Theta and Koschei back.

Yaz and Graham are there too - Yaz was in jaeger academy, but then the funding got pulled so her cohort got dropped, and now she's a security guard for the Shatterdome, but she still desperately wants to be at the heart of the action and actually making a difference. Graham is one of the guys who drives the carts across the Shatterdome deployment floor HAHA but he's great, he talks to EVERYONE in the Shatterdome and knows exactly what's going on underneath all the bureaucracy. He's also Ryan's granddad - they're somewhat at odds, but they're also both still grieving over the death of Grace, Ryan's nan, who died during a kaiju attack.

And then I have no idea - the three of them team up to drag Koschei and Theta back? Although to be honest I bet if Theta found out they were rebuilding their jaeger, they would be breaking into the Shatterdome IMMEDIATELY, so maybe Yaz catches them sneaking in hahaha. But obviously, even when Theta and Koschei are back together they are very reluctant to drift. I imagine that they both also have a lot of problems with ghost drifitng and stuff because their drift was so strong. And then...I want there to be s12 parallels, but I'm not quite sure what happens but I feel like Theta ended up being made to work on some weird slightly unethical drift project by the people who control the funding of the PPDC because they want to know more of the impact of the drift on the human brain, especially such a strong drift (I'm thinking like...ok so in one of my favourite pacrim fanfics, Newt gets forced to work in a drift project after his kaiju drift, but he keeps the fact that Hermann also drifted secret to protect him - but it ends up being pretty rough for Newt) but then obviously they're forced to keep the whole thing secret so they don't even tell Koschei. But eventually when the pair of them drift again, Koschei finds out (which then is the equivalent of him finding stuff in the Matrix). But he doesn't find out everything because it's all a mess and maybe the drift is off kilter because of it? Not sure. But yeah! This is all extremely rough so...y'know. Could probably develop it further. My only other thought is that the other jaeger pilots are alternate versions of thoschei or doctor-companion team ups.
