do you have any headcanons for the ggy trio?

Tysm for asking this aughhhh

I'm only gonna go over Greg in relation to the other two because Gregory alone I talk about headcanons for a lot, and he's included in the post about the 3 star fam headcanons. So yeah

I just made a separate post for my sorta headcanons for GGY specifically, which you can find here.

Greg was a really good friend before being glitchtrapped. He was during it, too, but that was Rab playing an act. He's a super sweet kid, despite everything

Greg would give Tony his own pocket money sometimes. "I get a lot of it, and you need it more than me." Tony didn't like to accept it, but Gregory is a persistent person.

Greg would always help Ellis with the arcades he wasn't very good at. "I learned this strat, actually...."

Gregory would get them both snacks and sneak them under the desks in class, the trio eating them when the teacher wasn't watching. This was especially the case if Ellis seemed less hyper in class or Tony was particularly quiet.

Gregory was extremely helpful and kind with Tony when his dad got locked up. He was there for him. Ellis is better at lightening the mood, but Gregory is good at real comfort and supportive words

They're all there for each other. Gregory fights when people pick on his friends, which is rare-ish-- they don't really get bullied-- but it still happens, and Greg gets hurt. He gets anxious. But then Ellis and Tony are there. Tony's awful attempts at comfort make Gregory laugh, while Ellis is naturally good at making people smile

The trio balances each other out perfectly, and it makes things easier in school! Sometimes, Tony needs to lighten up and see the bigger picture. Sometimes, Gregory needs to relax and take things slower. Sometimes, Ellis needs to be brought back to earth a little.

Ellis has a pretty normal life. He doesn't have any particular bad shit going on, only the losing his two besties thing in the case of canon. His home life is okay, though; he has a caring mother and a little sister he enjoys taking care of, despite her attitude sometimes-- It's small, and it's nice. His dad is usually away at work, but he finds time for his family.

Ellis has as much monty merch as he can possibly get, but he insists on winning it himself at the Plex instead of just finding it on amazon or whatever.

Tony's secret opinion on Ellis would be so heartbreaking for him. Ellis would be devastated to find Tony doesn't like his silly side. It'd drive him away, "Wow, man. Okay. I'll find new friends, you can have Greg all to yourself. Enjoy it."

If Gregory knew about it, he would side with Ellis. He'd be angry, but also try to help Tony loosen up. "Hey, you don't have to be super mature yet. You're so young. Trust me, you should enjoy being a kid before you force yourself to grow up. Being forced into growing up sucks, I promise." Tony would hate the fact that it sounds like he's talking from experience.

Tony loves music! His dad liked music, and he could play guitar, so Tony likes music and wants to learn to play. He also wants to learn piano. He learned like 2 meme songs on piano to impress people in music class and almost got detention (tryhard)

Tony listens to music mainly at the moment. He wants to learn to write songs. He doesn't wanna be a songwriter-- He's still set on investigative journalism. It's just a hobby

He'd write lemon demon type shit mixed with like uhhh. Idk. Less silly, more serious stuff. Imagine Cabinet Man, but it's about an arcade controlling a person, and it's slower and more ominous sounding (the GGY song)

He listens to songs his dad likes, often. Reminds him of him. He misses him every day, and it's a way of escaping. He usually listens to music late at night, and he thinks... just thinks.

Gregory is the one who got Tony into cheesy 80s music instead of mf. The Clash and The Cure, which his dad likes. "Should I stay or should I.... Nah. Listen to this." He hands the phone back and it's playing Material Girl

Speaking of, Gregory loves 80s music! Ellis loves hard rock and punk music. They really do reflect their glamrock faves in terms of favourite music genre!

They'd have a collab playlist that they can all add music to, and Gregory always quietly adds things he thinks are funny. Tony got 'How Bad Can I Be' blasting in his ears one day and turned to see Gregory and Ellis giggling away nearby.

Gregory adds real songs. Some really good ones. But then he also adds it's raining tacos 60 times. They played it on a speaker once, and when it's raining tacos started playing, Gregory turned it up so it blasted through the cafeteria. All 3 of them got detention

The trio definitely snuck into a show at the Pizzaplex. Yeah, two of them can afford it, but what's the fun in paying? And it's from there that Tony was obsessed with Bonnie. It's the one thing at the Plex he can't pretend he doesn't find childish

Tony has been trying to forget it. He's too old for all that. But he just loves the characters despite everything. He'd start going into how he can like the glamrocks because he researched glam rock, while Gregory and Ellis don't really care-- "Yeah I looked into Glam Rock. It's like. A part of queer history. It's important haha. and I can look into its influence. Okay? It's normal and fine and mature." And they're just like "??? Okay???"

Greg's favourite is Freddy, Tony's is Bonnie, and the duo are super close. Ellis isn't stupid. He definitely thought they were gonna end up together or something; even if they weren't gonna end up like that or anything, Ellis is a huge tease

They all tried cooking once! Tried. Tony isn't a bad cook at 14, but he's an awful, terrible cook at 12. Ellis can't cook at all, and Gregory can only bake (at age 12, also badly).

No matter what they're making, Ellis manages to make slime every time. His favourite to cook is spaghetti and the pasta is always mushy, the sauce always thick as hell with not enough meat... It's slime. Tastes nice, with the worst texture of all time. Despite that, the boys like it anyway. When Tony's sad Ellis is like right. Dude. I'm making you my slimy spaghetti surprise rn

Greg would bake them all cookies at the weekends they work on school projects! They're usually slightly too hard or too soft, but they taste okay.

Ellis helped one time and the cookies became slime. "Oh my God Greg. Who made these, Ellis?" "Uhmmmm excuse me you're doubting the master chef of the three musketeers?" "He helped."

Greg got extremely, scarily good at baking that one September before he and Tony went missing (Afton/the Mimic can really cook apparently!)

The trio has a Minecraft server, owned by Gregory. Tony builds actual houses and stores, Ellis builds really huge complex things like farms and redstone contraptions + traps, and Gregory builds sometimes like Tony, but is shockingly good at it. He builds megabases. But he also starts a million things he never finishes, accidentally breaks things, causes chaos (usually along with Ellis), buries Tony or moves him while he's AFK, and /kills everything.

Ellis and Gregory built a dangerous labyrinth, and Greg teleported Tony to the centre of it. He's in spectator mode with Ellis, watching Tony struggle and constantly respawn in the maze while he complains. "MF GIVE BACK MY CREATIVE PERMS???" "Seek the exit, and your desires will be met." (leaves vc)

If Tony ever gets genuinely annoyed by their antics, Greg usually builds him something as an apology because he feels really bad about it.

And uhh that's all for now! I could probably come up with more eventually, but these ones have been on my mind abkshduhdjd

Thanks for the ask!

An Old Acquaintance: Moxxie & Millie x ArmsDealer!Poly!Reader Headcanons

I really enjoyed this if I'm being honest. I'm a sucker for childhood friends getting out of contact and reuniting years later and becoming partners. Will probably do one for Stolas eventually. Hope y'all enjoy!

---------------------------------------------------

• It's not a suprise that selling weapons in Wrath raked in a decent amount of money.

• Whether its the locals, a passing assassin, security teams, there was good money to be made, and you took full advantage of that.

• You grew up in Wrath, and from a young age you learned the value of keeping a keen eye on anyone you meet, and a hand on your revolver.

• So, when you figured you had some... connections and a silver tounge, why wouldn't you keep that attitude with your business?

• You weren't rich by any means, but you lived a comfortable life, staying at your family's ranch and helping pay for upkeep.

• Sometimes, when you got fancy clients or very rare items, you even helped get some upgrades made around the house.

• He'd never admit it, but your brother loves the new cooking appliances.

• Back to the important stuff, business had been somewhat slow, but you were in contact with an imp from Pride interested in buying a lot of guns.

• Apparently he ran an assassination business, and apparently he'd be sending two of his employees down to talk terms.

• It wasn't an unusual request, not by a long shot, but not many demons sent a duo to negotiate with you.

• Either way, you didn't particularly care. Until they arrived.

• The guy you vaguely recognized from the last harvest moon festival, but the girl, you recognized her right away.

• Although you and Millie didn't interact much now, your parents certainly did, so you still saw eachother a decent amount.

• Actually, the brother mentioned early got a cushy chef job in Gluttony, and the plan was to invite her family over, since Mrs. Lin was the one who introduced him to the culinary world.

• Needless to say, the two of you had a pretty good time catching up.

• You also had a pretty good time getting to know Millie's husband, Moxxie.

• Moxxie was a far cry from Millie, but was still rather charming.

• Plus, you all could bond over your on-sale arsenal.

• You actually made a handful of jokes about having to steal Moxxie away at some point, which were recieved relatively well.

• After a long conversation, you finally got around to your job and negotiated a deal, but before they left, you invited them over to the party for tonight.

• Moxxie seemed a bit hesitant, but Millie did get along with your brother more than you, and let's be honest, it's hard to say no to Millie.

• Her family was a bit suprised to see them that night, but overall things went smoothly.

• Throughout the night though, you kept getting drunker and drunker.

• You weren't sure why, but you knew that, at the very least, the party didn't get ruined because of it.

• Still, no matter how much you drank, there was a, well, it felt like a knot in your stomach.

• It was just about the time you lost the ability to think about what you were saying that you realized why.

• And that's when Millie and Moxxie sat next to you, and your memory got super blurry.

• You ended up waking up with a massive hangover, a reminder of why you don't usually drink.

• You didn't realize it for a good few minutes, but someone had moved you into your bed.

• It was pretty early in the morning, earlier than what you and your family was used to, so no one else should've been awake.

• Apparently, Moxxie and Millie were

• They had stayed for the night, mostly so they could talk to you in the morning.

• Turns out, you had told them that you thought you were in love with both of them, and that the three of you should be in a big ol' poly relationship.

• That...sounded right, and you knew it probably was.

• You weren't sure what it was, but you had been really drawn to the two of them.

• Granted, you were just going to try to move on, but now you had to deal with the consequences.

• Well, you would've if there were any consequences.

• Both Moxxie and Millie were actually fine with it, which came as a big shock.

• And it turned out that Moxxie thought you were kind of cute?

• They both had to get back to Pride, but left their number before you left.

• Yeah, you'd definitely have to ask them both out when you're more sober.

• For now though, you need coffee and food before your hangover takes you out of commission.

So, I'm falling back into the FFXV kick, and I have decided that I disapprove of how little complex character development Square Enix has given the guys?? Like where is the emotional depth beyond surface-level cutscene angst?? So I took matters into my own hands and have compiled a handy little list of headcanons / expanded canons that I think make sense.

Noctis: Has clinical insomnia and frequent lucid dreams (sorta a given, but bear w me bear w me)

Feels the weight of having to take so much on from such a young age much, much more than he lets on

Loves to argue

Would've been happier if he and Luna stayed as childhood best-buds rather than betrothed fiancés (controversial, ik, but it just didn't seem like he cared that much for her romantically to me?? Like he obviously cared about her, but it seemed like a really strong penpal vibe rather than a "We're-gonna-get-married-and-be-the-next-hotshot-couple" vibe. If you disagree, coolio, I'm not gonna debate w you on this one)

Has a natural sadness to his eyes regardless of what he's feeling

Went through an anime phase (possibly still in his anime phase, idk)

Social anxiety for the win

Severe RBF

Prefers tea over coffee (black tea is best---particularly lavender earl grey)

Can play the cello (practicing tho?? Don't know her)

Writes the most beautiful poetry when The Motivation™ strikes him (usually when he's home sick and half-delirious)

Prompto: Has ADHD and clinical anxiety, but is undiagnosed and doesn't take any meds for either of them.

Is legit like SO SMART, but can never focus, so not many people take any notice

Wears contact lenses (he had glasses as a child and I refuse to believe he had some high-tech corrective surgery to eliminate the need for them when lenses are cheaper and less risky)

Doesn't drink caffeine because it makes him jittery

Doesn't drive the Regalia when the guys are around because having other people in the car distracts him from the road. Also he tends to drive like a speed demon, which worries Ignis to no end.

Sunburns insanely easily

Could legit become a hitman if he wanted to with the amount of gun-knowledge he has. It doesn't matter what firearm you put in this boy's hand---pistol, SMG, sniper, rocket launcher, you name it. He can and will hit the target every single time.

Addicted to adrenaline

Pansexual

Has a lot of self-loathing (we see a bit of this in Ep. Prompto) and talks with an online therapist about it via text whenever his lows hit him. He's making great progress in learning how to heal and how to accept himself for who he is beyond the mask he wears for others

Ignis: More than a little bit of a control freak, and works very hard not to be too overbearing or critical about his friends' misgivings

Hypochondriac

Wants to protect everyone all the time and mentally kicks himself when he doesn't get there fast enough

Is SO PROUD of Noctis's journey and felt a stronger hatred towards Ardyn than anyone else in the group for what he forced Noct to go through (he stayed up at night sick to his stomach with hollow rage and baked nonstop to take his mind off of it)

Can verbally obliterate a man, but only rarely chooses to do so bc he's classy like that

After losing his eyes, he notices so much more beauty in the world than he used to (the sound of rain on the Regalia's roof, the specific gait of each of his friends, the smell of salt on the wind in Galdin Quay, the flawless feel of one specific silk tie he has in his repertoire, etc)

His internal compass is never wrong

Regularly takes antacids for his stomach

Has the straightest teeth you've ever seen

Demiromantic

Gladio: Hates being wrong: it's his way or the highway

Actually so much smarter than the musclehead jock front he puts up

A little vain and easily jealous (this man has a Jealous Face like no other)

Thunderstorms are his favorite; his ideal place to be is at a campsite, during a storm, with a well-worn book and a mug of Irish coffee in hand

Would throw himself in front of a bus for any one of his friends

Would beat up kids for the folks he cared about in middle school and spent the time he wasn't training to be a Crownsguard sitting in detention with the most unrepentant, smug, and-I'd-do-it-again look scrawled across his face

Can make a better smoothie than anyone (except maybe Iggy)

Spotify junkie

Had a dinosaur phase as a kid and can still name random facts about them whenever the opportunity presents itself

Avid technology-hater and only has a phone to make calls and join the others in playing King's Knight since they begged him so profoundly (he's sure the thing's going to be his downfall)

Gets most of Prompto's pop culture references

Headcanon/FanFic "Why"

Okay... I understand everyone has their own take on everything, and I fully support "to each, their own." But I think I need to explain a couple of pertinent "whys" to my headcanon/fanfic decisions... particularly as to applies to one subject: parenthood.

Why did I do it? Why did I give them a child?

Well, there are a few reasons, and the one that is NOT a reason is to be a slap in anyone's face, or act like I think having children is the end-all of a relationship or marriage (even though marriage is a very real practicality, from a legal aspect, once you have a child -- particularly for LGBTQ couples. It's a sad fact of the world we live in that without marriage/adoption papers, one parent can find themselves without any legal ground if something happens to the biological parent. )

Now, to the reasons I DID do it (not all of these are going to make sense to everyone -- some are VERY personal to me -- so just understand these are MY reasons... you don't have to agree with them.):

Crowley presents in a way that lends him to actually being a very devoted and protective parent, and I wanted to explore that. Throughout both the book and the series, we see Crowley interact and engage with children in a very different way than he does with adults. Adults annoy him. He quickly runs out of patience (if he has any to start) with adults. But with children, he is far more patient. We get this first in his appalled reaction to the news of the impending flood. He seems rather ambivalent about the destruction of the adults. But when he realizes the children are also included in that destruction, his expression goes from mild "well, that's a little extreme, but okay" to complete "that's utterly barmy! We need to get all these kids out of here!" Then, with Job's lot -- he could have just destroyed them -- especially after the older two started annoying him (less patience - but they're closer to adults) -- but his response to Jemimah ("that's all right. You haven't annoyed me, yet." and then his acquiesence to her request to "be a blue one" while still maintaining the tone of an indulgent parent, rather than an annoyed demon) borders strongly on parental. He finds her adorable, imaginative, and not at all annoying. Fast forward to Warlock. Now, as an infant, he seems a little ambivalent, but I think that was more because he just saw the kid as the source of the end of the world. But later, even as he's trying to mold the boy into the evil incarnate he's supposed to, he is almost tender -- or as tender as he can be, given what he's supposed to be up to -- with Warlock. And yes, he did talk about killing first Warlock and then Adam, but when the chips came down, he was supportive and encouraging toward Adam. He just has this parental feel to him that calls for an inquisitive young mind to help shape, and once he's allowed to really express his emotions, I think a child brings out that side of him without fearing rejection.

2. Aziraphale has a need to take care of someone. Yes, he can take care of Crowley, but eventually, without an additional outlet, I can see that concern getting smothering to the demon. Aziraphale needs a redirect for his natural propensity to worry about someone else's welfare and comfort. And I keep going back to A Companion to Owls, and can't get the image of two things out of my mind: the way Aziraphale's face softens and he just has that look of wanting to immediately praise Jemimah's good work making the pot when the girl announces she made it, and then the way he hovered over the bowl full of gecko/children with that parental worry, making sure they were safe and comfortable, and not scared. Also, he worried about Eve's unborn child so much at Eden, he gave up his flaming sword to make sure she and the baby were going to be okay. He's gentle and patient with Warlock, and he's hesitant to harm either Warlock or Adam, and the gentle way he speaks to Adam, and talks about how much he worried about how Adam would turn out.

3. Here's the very personal one: I loved the idea of creating a child for them that would come from Heaven, because the idea of a child of the heart/spirit soothes something very personal inside of me. I lost a child many years ago -- I was in an accident and had a miscarriage when I was 5 months along with my daughter. Just a few weeks after losing her, I lost her father, as well. I have been walking around with a large piece of my heart and soul missing, for a very long time. And since part of my headcanon for my fanfic is that Crowley and Aziraphale share a piece of their heart and always have (you have to read the fic to get all the nuance -- I'm not going to explain it, here), and I created something called the Starlight Chamber in Heaven (this was originally the "workshop" of the angel Crowley was), this was a way I brought it all together. Creating a daughter for them gave me a very personal connection to the story, without the cringey aspect of being a part of the story.

4. This is the biggest part, though: It just WORKS. It makes the story richer, makes their story more complete. Jemima adds a dimension, an element to their story, that brings more joy, more love, (and yes, more worry, but hey...). She's adorable, has facets of both of their personalities, plus her own little quirks that complement their personalities. She completes the picture, in my headcanon. And I think that's reason enough. 😊

General headcanon overview / Canon analysis.

Hey ! So I wrote this for important headcanon and characterization details. I wanted to make one post to cover everything important instead of having folks dig around through multiple hcs across two of my blogs lmao so here we go !

Straight to the point I do not interpret Henry as a remorseless psychopath and I don't believe this was canons intention one bit. He is not “pure evil” and he was not “born evil.” To me it is quite clear that a lot of themes in Stranger Things are allegories for, and are very much metaphoric to metal illness and neurodiversity, most particularly a lot of themes in Stranger Things touch on the the demonization of and abuse toward people with mental illness and neurodiverse individuals. Please keep in mind Stranger Things is a period piece that is taking place from the 50s through to the 80s and EARLY 90s. This was a time period particularly in AMERICAN HISTORY that was not known for its kindness toward minority demographics and just as it was difficult to be lgbt+ or a poc, for example, in these times, it was also very difficult to exist as a ND or mentally ill person without experiencing oppression, horrific abuse, exploitation and demonization.

GENERAL: Ultimately, to me Henry is on the autism spectrum. The coding in his character is VERY explicit and he resonated heavily with me as an autistic person myself, who has experienced similar things as Henry and was labeled the same way from the same figures as a child. Henry has literally described himself as autistic without using the word autistic. Henry is very high functioning but none the less he was labelled as “broken” by his doctors and teachers because he was born in the 40s and was a young boy in the 50s where this stuff was not understood or recognized ( and we are still fighting to raise awareness decades later. ) Theres a few other factors floating around that make this story true to the horror genre and further add to the metaphorical side of things ( Henry’s psychic powers, the idea the Creels were living in a haunted house, the concept of demonic possession, etc ) but bringing things down to basics Henry was a high functioning autistic boy living in a time period where kindness and understanding toward his neurodiversity was not a thing and he suffered tremendously for it.

People will debate whether or not Henry was abused or neglected by his parents but its absolutely clear that he was. In both flashbacks from him and Victor, Henry is shown as isolated. The character himself laments on being "alone" and makes claims that his family were not the good people they pretended to be. He relates to spiders as a child because people approach them with contempt and disgust, and little Henry felt this was the same for him. There is a reason a CHILD felt this way. Henry's mother had put in motion a plan to institutionalize Henry simply because he was "different." Different is not code here for ASPD, its code here for neurodiversity, most likely autism, again given Henry's OWN descriptions of himself and his feelings/thoughts on the world. Henry also claims he related to El because of the fact that she was bullied and ostracized. Other children thought of her as "Stupid and Clumsy." She was constantly shown as isolated from the other children around her and it was clear that they did not care much for her company. ( El is also a heavily autistic coded character and this has been a topic of conversation in the ST fandom forever )

Henry is not an unreliable narrator here because nothing he says is ever contradicted anywhere by canon. Instead its all completely supported by the things we’re shown in canon from not just his POV but from the other character’s POVs as well. After coming to live in Hawkins, Henry discovered he had unlocked the ability to read minds among other remarkable things. He then discovered his mother hated him and he discovered she planned to have him committed, where he would be taken away by a Doctor ( Dr. Brenner ) and “fixed.” Virginia Creel was essentially an Autism Mom TM and explicitly wanted to “cure” Henry, something she had already put into motion by the time of her murder.

This was 'the' secret she had been keeping from him and this was the final trigger for Henry’s murderous rampage. He practiced using his psionic powers on small animals and prepared to kill his mother and escape from his family to avoid the horrors of institutionalization within a “psychiatric hospital,” as had been planned for him. He did not do that for fun or because he liked killing people.

This perfectly explains why Dr Brenner knew Henry existed. Keep in mind, again this is the late 50s. Virginia was an upper-middle class house wife. Her duty and image as a loving mother and wife would have been held in the highest esteem. If she was someone who secretly despised one of her children ━ not only is this particularly shitty for Henry as the child she disliked to discover this ━ but it does in fact make her a hypocrite as someone who would pretend otherwise to fit societies mold of “normal” and “perfect.”

Its also been heavily suggested the Virginia Creel was a cheat, and Alice possibly isn’t even Victor’s child which I've been over multiple times in depth. In the News paper article detailing the Creel murders, Alice’s birthdate is listed as 1944. This is a year before the end of the war, before Victor returned home. Virginia has also been associated with bathtub symbolism and often draws parallels to Karen Wheeler. Bathtubs often symbolize infidelity, and immoral thoughts. And we all know that Karen was planning to hook up with Billy.

Henry used his powers to “torment” his family by “showing” them their “real” selves. He was attempting to force them to recognize they were not “normal” or “perfect” like they pretended. I don't think the motive here is hard to imagine given Henry was being shunned by others because he was "abnormal" and was clearly suffering psychological distress and self-loathing over this. This was his attempt to make his family see themselves and thus accept him more so Henry didn’t even resort directly to murder. Prior to the murders, Henry was nothing but a lonely, innocent child. He was unfairly judged as “broken” and “wrong” by his family members who themselves were actually not the ‘perfect’, ‘faultless’ people they pretended to be, hence his accusations of hypocrisy toward them, claiming that they were broken NOT him.

Henry was born different and try as he might he couldn’t change what made him “different.” Henry struggled hiding his differences, something which was expected of him, so he grew disgusted by people like his parents and sister who were so obsessed with perfection, conformity and this false notion of “normality,” particularly as they themselves didn’t even fit the mold they were trying to project to the world and to force on Henry. After his attempt to escape failed, Henry would spend the next 20 years of his life kidnapped, wrongfully imprisoned and suffering various kinds of abuse, exploitation and dehumanization at the hands of Dr. Brenner’s project. Henry was as much a victim as anyone else in this situation. We are made aware of the fact that he was often tortured and essentially functioned as a slave to the facility. Henry, by his own admission, suffered a life of fear and cruelty.

ALICE CREEL: I'm adding this because I can't decide if all the extreme inconsistences surrounding Alice mean something in canon or if it was just laziness on the Duffer Brother's behalf but for now: Alice was 15 years old. ( Despite being portrayed by a much younger actress and thus appearing to have been the same age as Henry if not younger. A really weird inconsistency. ) Her date of birth is given on the news paper clipping and she would have been 15 accordingly, 3 years older than Henry, making her Henry's OLDER sister, and again, canon has seemingly suggested Alice might have been the product of an affair given Victor claims he had only been home from the War for 14 years. Moreover, in the original script there was more emphasis on Victor's neglect and Henry's discomfort with the fact that his father "always lies to himself." In the canon, Vecna refers to Victor as "blind and dumb." This all points to something more “personal” going on in the Creel house than just Victor believing in "demons".

But on that note, even Victor believed the "demonic presence" in the house was "punishing them for their sins." Strange that he would think that way if this was a totally normal and innocent family. What sins is he referring to here ? Clearly something else was going on with the Creel family.

Anyway, back to Alice. I imagine Henry and her to have had a relationship best described as an inverted parallel to Will and Jonathan. Where Jonathan was supportive of nurturing toward Will, Alice was scornful and neglectful of Henry. She viewed him as a burden due to his "differences", which she considered where just him being difficult and a "freak." She was very much a normal teenaged girl in the 50s who largely kept her personal life a secret from her parents in case of disapproval. Henry tormented Alice the least of his three family members because he simply didn't understand Alice's fears, insecurities or secrets well enough to prey on them on a personal level.

A similar thing could be said of his mother, as Henry's "torment" toward both his mother and sister appears to be very much in the vein of only making them “see” general phobias like bugs and spiders, thus and not near as personal or potent as the torment his father received thanks to his PTSD and guilt from his actions in the war. I'm hoping we'll see more Alice in season 5 to understand more about her and her possible dynamic with Henry.

THE MINDFLAYER: To me, and I’m very sure this was what canon was suggesting, the entity we know as the Mindflayer was actual the “demonic presence” that emerged within the Creel house and Henry has really just been a scapegoat and a medium for this thing to connect with Hawkins.

Stay with me here. The Mindflayer exists within another dimension, but the barrier between the human world and the Mindflayer’s dimension is thin around some places in Hawkins, which is why all this bullshit is going on in Hawkins in the first place. This is a canonlogical fact. The Upside Down and Hawkins are connected and this was true before Henry was sent there and before Will Byers was taken by the Demogorgon. There is a reason the Lab where Brenner was doing his experiments exists in the small ass-backward town of Hawkins. From what we can gather, the Creel house happened to sit a top of one of the places where the barrier was thin. Canon seems to show that Henry was particularly sensitive to and susceptible to the presence and influence of the Mindflayer due to his psychic abilities. Henry once believed that he was the demon in the Creel house, but this isn’t entirely the case. Henry was the medium. This also explains why Henry's powers only became so strong and continued to multiply when he came to live in Hawkins, another canon fact.

We know that the Mindflayer is a malevolent force that amplifies feelings of sadness and anger, which are the emotions that it feeds on. Henry couldn’t have been a more perfect target because he was a sad child, a child who was ostracized from other children and found it difficult to fit in with others and was constantly being made to feel as if he was wrong/bad/at fault. This takes a psychological toll on a child and almost always leads them to acting out, even without the existence of them having insane psychic powers. Henry’s negative emotions however were amplified by the presence of the Mindflayer, which in turn amplified Henry’s powers.

Once again, this is why Henry’s abilities became so strong once he and his family had settled into their new home in Hawkins. This is what drove Henry to look into his families minds and find their “darkest secrets.” He wasn’t a twisted little demon who was just sick like that, Henry is shown actually as a sad and lonely kid. His spirits only brightened a little when he found some spiders inside a vent inside the house as he recounts he has a love of spiders and they brought him comfort in a very stressful time in his life.

Henry then spent most of his time illustrating the spiders while his family fretted over the “evil presence” in the house, which used Henry’s powers to manifest itself. There is a lot of evidence in cannon to point to this being true. There is a scene in Victor’s flashback which shows Henry drawing with his crayons in the living room of the house when the lights around him begin to behave strangely, causing Henry to look confused and concerned. This was not Henry’s doing and it calls back to scenes in season 1 when something in the upside down is trying to get through to our world.

This again happens a second time when Nancy is shown visions of Henry’s childhood. Henry is first seen wandering around the Creel house as if he is looking for something, in this scene the lights of the house are also shown flashing, somewhat resembling the scene in season 1 where little Holly Wheeler notices the lights flashing in the Byers home and follows them to their source. Curiously, Henry is not framed as the person controlling the lights but rather as someone simply investigating their behavior. Furthermore, when Henry draws an image of the Mindflayer he uses charcoal in order to accurately depict the creature as true to life. How would Henry know the Mindflayer was cloud-like and made up of particles if this was just something out of his imagination and nothing more ? There is so much more going on here and the clues are everywhere.

There is also the fact that a 12 year old boy in 1959 learned to, essentially, suck the “souls” out of his “victims.” Like. How ? Which brings me to something else. While Henry’s method of killing does seem to be demonically influenced, it makes sense to me that a child like Henry would seem to reason this as a “valid” way to commit a murder. If he is able to basically “keep” his victims in some way, linking their souls to himself and thus giving them some type of immortality, it would serve to ease his guilt somewhat in the fact that he hasn’t completely killed them in the first place. This seems to be the case as Henry explained to Eleven after the lab massacre that the other numbers he "killed" weren't really gone.

Even further we know the Duffer brothers took nearly direct reference from entities such as IT/deadlights, the Thing, DnD's Serpent and possibly DnD’s Elder brain to create the Mindflayer ( look it up. ) These creatures are all very thematically similar to the Mindflayer we see in the show. The thing is a monstrous cosmic mass that assimilates other creatures into itself. Its “original” form was spider-like.

IT/Deadlights is an eldritch form of energy that eats the souls and flesh of its victims ( It also takes a spider-like form ),

DnD’s Elder brain is a evil psychic entity that guides its community ( the mindflayers ) toward world domination. ( Its depicted as a huge brain that uses long black vine/tentacles to attack )

The Serpent of DnD is said to be connected to Vecna going back to his human life, it is said to be the source of all Magic and for some reason favours Vecna over all other beings. Its suggested here that the MF may have preyed on Henry’s love of spiders to make itself more friendly and appealing to him as little Henry was driven to see the spiders in the Creel house as avatars of something divine and otherworldly rather than as simple animals.

Vecna, on the other hand, is a character that takes direct reference from Pinhead, DnD Vecna, Freddy Kruger and possibly Henry Bowers if his human name is anything to go on. Pinhead, Freddy, DnD Vecna and Henry Bowers are all characters who “serve” malevolent gods/entities in their referenced canons and in the case of Freddy, DnD Vecna and Pinhead, all of them got their powers from said entity.

With Pinhead its the Levithan. ( An abstract ancient entity that resides within "hell" and guides the Cenobites through dreams and visions )

With Freddy its the "Dream Demons" ( Demonic entities that thrive on nightmares and have a goal of merging the dream world and waking world )

and with DnD Vecna its, again, The Serpent ( a mysterious godlike entity of unimaginable power that has a close relationship with Vecna. )

What inspo came from each of these characters in creating Vecna is extremely clear. Pinhead was claimed to be the biggest inspo used to create Vecna. He was a kind and compassionate human who was severely traumatized and disillusioned from humanity and "god" by ww1. Pinhead chooses to serve the Levithan because of this. This is clearly referenced in Victor Creel, and Henry being a sensitive young boy who was deeply traumatized by seeing his father’s memories of ww2.

Freddy was a human who became a monster with the ability to trap his victims within dreams with the power of phantasmagoria and kill them. This is the inspiration for Vecna’s curse. ( Note, I also mentioned the Dream demons goal was to merge the dream and waking world. Like, come on. )

DnD Vecna was once a human, noted to have had a VERY cruel mother, claimed to have been be an evil woman who consorted with monsters, who's cruelty shaped Vecna into who he is in the DnD lore. As a human he somehow rose to become one of the greatest sorcerers ever known ( This was presumably through his pact with The Serpent ━ theorized to be an alias of the demon-god Asmodeus by some. The Serpent is depicted in DnD lore as "made of cloud and lightning snaking down from the sky and whispering into Vecna's ear, telling him the secret of lichdom." ) and in death eventually reached demi-god status as a lich. Well the inspo once again here is clear. Dustin described Vecna as Mindflayer’s 5 star general for a reason. He has never been wrong before, why are we so confident he's suddenly wrong now ?

Why would these themes be continually repeated in Vecna's conception and creation if they aren't somehow relevant to the character ? Further, the vines ( The Mindflayer’s physical vehicles ) were shown to behave the same way as they always have before Henry was even in the Upside Down. He cant be the one actually controlling them, at least not all the time, which means there is something else seemingly intelligent, possibly evil and highly powerful working along side him. Henry claims the Mindflayer made him Vecna and in the original script this was suppose to be more explicit, with the Vines having a big part in Henry’s terrifying transformation.

The original script details Henry being assailed by supernatural jolts of lighting, which rip off his clothes and burn his skin, followed by the "Vines", which began to similarly attack and transform him into Vecna. What creature do we know who's body looks just like a storm cloud, thundering with the same red lighting we saw "transforming" Henry ? What creature do we know has been in the Upside Down before Henry and thus the only one who could be controlling the "Vines" ? The Mindflayer.

Now is it possible that this is somehow inverted in Season 5 and Henry is just the guy behind it all cut and dry ? Sure, maybe. But with everything we've already seen in canon that I've mentioned here, this would leave a big plot hole for how any of that shit was happening before Henry's arrival in the Upside Down for me personally. Again, it seems as if Henry is actually a medium for the Mindflayer to act, and a TOOL FOR IT, rather than the other way around. Until season 5 shows otherwise ( And I don’t think its going to ) I will firmly stick to my analysis and beliefs on this.

For a more detailed look at the MF and surrounding elements click here. And for a summary of what the Mindflayer is and how it functions in my headcanons and AU click here.

THE LAB MASSCARE: There are many reasons for why Henry killed the other test subjects in the lab. This doesn’t just come in one shade. Survival is the leading one, but behind this we have the fact that Henry only learned to harness his powers through sadness and anger, two emotions that can be very intoxicating, even when utilized by someone who doesn’t have a life of lived trauma and oppression behind them like Henry does.

We also have the fact that Henry saw the other children as enemies, given they viciously bullied Eleven for no good reason and he saw his own childhood of ostracization and bulling in their interactions with her, which was clearly upsetting to him. Ultimately, Henry killed them because he could not save them and because if he left them alive they would only be used as weapons against him and Eleven.

The children in the lab were not allies to him and Eleven, many were extensively brainwashed by Brenner so he was not wrong in believing this. Many of them would do anything to please “Papa,” this including beating and abusing Eleven with glee, possibly to the point of being willing to kill her, and thus would easily include using their remote location abilities to track Henry and Eleven down if they escaped. It was a worse outcome to leave the other subjects alive than it was to kill them. I'm sorry to say it, but this is justifiable / excusable homicide, not cold blooded murder for fun.

DR. BRENNER: Henry’s mercy on Brenner was mostly vindictive. He wanted Benner to live knowing he had taken everything away from him, that he was powerless and that he lost all the control and oppression he had cruelly lauded over Henry’s head for most of his life. It was really a power move because ultimately Henry’s relationship with Brenner was/is a deeply fucked up one due to years of psychological and physical abuse and torture. Ultimately, he wanted Brenner to live and witness his escape, witness the loss of everything he had tried to build for years and witness everything else Henry would come to do free of Brenner’s imprisonment. Vecna’s motives for continuing to leave Dr. Brenner alive are very much the same. I have also written some other thoughts on Henry and Brenner here + more thoughts on Henry’s time in the lab + powers, etc.

HENRY AND VECNA: Simply put Vecna is Henry but Henry is not Vecna. Vecna is the result of Henry’s “death,” as much as he is the result of Henry’s “connection” with the Mindflayer entity.

As previously discussed, it seems the Mindflayer entity was always a malevolent force that amplifies and feeds on feelings of sadness and anger. This is why Vecna is so warped, both physically and spiritually. This is why Max explains that Vecna can’t see anything within people but hate and darkness. This connection with the Mindflayer changed him on a metaphysical level.

Henry’s body was mutated by the unique constitution of the upside down and his merger with this entity to become the wickedly powerful creature that is been dubbed “Vecna” by the hellfire kids. By all logic, Henry should have died after he entered the Upside Down, not just by the multiple lightening strikes he apparently suffered ( Note again these strikes of lightning were of a supernatural nature, they are further manifestations of the MF but still, they were not fucking around ) that horrifically wounded him to the point of deformity, but also the fact he had to have fallen from a couple hundred feet at least.

Somehow he didn’t die. There is no logical explanation as to why “Vecna” is or would actually be “alive” in a normal sense given what we were shown in canon. But we have seen that the Mindflayer has the ability to reanimate creatures that have supposedly died as well as literally create brand new creatures such as the Spider Monster in season 3. ( The Demodogs in the Russian prison are a good example of some type of reanimation. ) Its more likely that Henry did “die” after he was thrown into the Upside Down, whether from the supernatural lightning his body conducted or from hitting the ground from the seemingly endless height he fell from. Its all thanks to the influence of the Mindflayer and his psychic link with it that he was ‘revived’. Meaning he was apparently able to get up and simply wander around the upside down dazed and mesmerized until he found the Mindflayers “physical” body and the two “linked” together.

This also explains why “Vecna” was able to take several head-on rounds from a shot gun, all the while being set on fire, and continued to live and function through the whole ordeal, even after falling at least a dozen feet out of a window, to the point that he was able to get up and escape with little effort. There is no logical explanation for any of it other than that Vecna is, in fact, “undead” in some way. In his human life, Henry hoped to use his powers to change the world; to make things better for people like himself.

As Vecna he is opting for more brutality and something much darker, likely a lot due to his heavy corruption from the Mindflayer, though he still believes he’s doing this for a good reason, remembering his own goals, which is Henry’s remaining “human” element coming through. Basically, in the story Vecna embodies all three major archetypes in the horror genre. He is the killer, the monster and the ghost. This means he is a vindictive, driven, malevolent creature who is not bound to human mortality but has a hauntingly tragic and human past.

Vecna is vengeful and ruthless. He kills with impunity not because he likes killing but because it brings him closer and closer to his “goal” of “reshaping” the world that hated, abused and rejected him. Vecna targets his victims for very specific reasons that allow him to believe these attacks are less murders and more “mercy” killings. The kids Vecna targets are suicidal. Its suggested they are going to commit suicide which is why Vecna steps in and "collects" those particular victims. His motives are for them to join him in getting revenge on the world and society that has given them such pain that they are literally heading toward killing themselves as Vecna relates. I’ve talked about Venca’s personal “method/ritual” of killing and its “symbolic” refences to his human life and in general here.(broken link) ( Cw for suicide mentions. ) Currently that link is broken so refer to the following post for now instead. Again CW for Suicide mentions.

Henry on the other hand has a killer instinct, and will kill if he has to, but he is not Vecna and his murders are almost always survival or revenge based. Henry’s goals included more typical anarchy for the sake of political and systematic change; to bring about a better quality of life for oppressed and marginalized individuals like himself. Henry and Kali were the same in this regard and this why I’ll never believe they weren’t connected or that they didn’t have a positive rapport, or that it wasn't extremely likely that Henry played a part in Kali’s escape from the lab. This is at least my personal headcanon and will remain that way until canon tells me otherwise. So far though canon is heavily, heavily suggesting this is true. Basically, Vecna is more a Samara Morgan and Henry is more a Magneto, to put it simply.

"A PREDATOR BUT FOR GOOD": Henry’s speech to Eleven and his interest in spiders has resulted in a lot of the fandoms insane misunderstandings about Henry’s character and what his actual motives were and what he actually represents. I’ve been over it in a previous post but to largely quote that post: Henry’s self-label of “solitary” creature and his relation to spiders is not suppose to clue us on to some innate evil within the character. Completely the opposite actually. Henry has spent his life only ever knowing scorn, rejection and exile from others. Whether this exile is imposed on him by others or self-imposed to cope / feel safe, this is a heavy feature in Henry’s life.

This single feature made most of the fandom convinced that Henry’s interest in and relation to spiders was scary and proof of “psychopathy”, because they think of spiders as scary, weird things that need to be avoided or eradicated; they're just not viewed as living creatures worthy of respect or sympathy despite the fact they very much are. Its very ironic that people took this away from Henry’s speech as he was actually explaining the opposite. Henry literally says he relates to them because they’re a misunderstood creature, a creature that people hate and only want to exterminate, and that people have always treated him the same way.

He takes comfort in being able to relate to something so much and finds them inspiring as a result. He draws strength from them. They made him feel safe and seen. He feels more empowered and less alone when he thinks of them. Unfortunately, a lot of people somehow boiled this down to “Spiders kill things, spiders are scary, spiders are unrelatable, spiders are emotionless so that's what Henry was trying to tell us about himself.”

Which all couldn’t be further from the truth. Henry further spoke about the experience and unending stress of anyone who can not conform to societal norms, anyone who couldn’t live up to societies “expectations” and the restrictive, unfair standards of what is good and right vs what isn’t as these standards DO NOT apply to everyone. They are largely unnatural and that it is downright evil to try and enforce them on everyone since it is impossible for everyone to fit into the “mold.” The mold being heavily bias and flawed from the start. He is saying that all this nonsense has been made up by evil, bigoted, stupid people in power. He is talking about the real struggle “othered” people face against societal and systematic oppression.

He’s trying to say that a spider is considered an important part of the natural ecosystem. Spiders fit this ecosystem whether people like it or not and despite their differences they have a valuable role in brining order to the natural world. He’s not saying he wants to murder people because he finds it funny and he’s a sadistic freak; he's ensuring himself he belongs and he’s trying to illustrate that someone with powers like his and Eleven’s would be able to fight and perhaps work toward dismantling the painful, oppressive system that is currently in place and bring about balance. Equality. If he has to eat a couple insects to do it then so be it. He directly specifies he wants to be a predator BUT FOR GOOD and that is what his meaning was.

It was intended to be the opposite of a predator being seen as an evil, monstrous thing. Henry straight up specified that he had HEROIC INTENTIONS, at no NO POINT say he was planning to kill innocent people because he thought it was fun and he enjoys killing people. Oppositely he clearly expressed he wanted to fight back against systematic oppression so it really isn't a stretch to think that the people Henry was ever going to be threat toward was bigots and oppressors if he was able to escape the lab in his human form. Kali is literally his counterpart character and the two of them directly reference each other. Vecna, thematically, takes clear inspiration from the goddess Kali of Mythology ( The goddess of time, doomsday, death and change. ) and Kali as a character literally has the same views as Henry expressed in canon. ( Leftist and anarchist ideologies. ) In conclusion, Vecna / Henry are way more complex than this fandom will let itself believe and its disappointing. Henry isn't a racist or a p*do or a n*zi or any of that other total bullshit this fandom comes out with. He'd hate/fight against people like that.

𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘶 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘴

[ 🌸 ] my man it’s a good boy-

characters: sesshomaru;; some character mentions

genre: fluff

warnings: none;; sesshomaru being soft;; mentions of reader being old;; a soft headcanon is a warning?

…

i couldn't write everything i wanted 🥹, eeee-

- - -

*make me your queen, daddy-

*ok no, lmao

*traditionalmantraditionalman

* have you seen his clothes?, have you seen his hair?, have you seen his mom?!

*that man is royalty!

*which means that as his partner you're going to be surrounded by luxuries and… oh yes and also Jaken, and the beautiful little thing better known as Rin.

*as a future clan wife you will be instructed what to expect from other beings (who will soon be inferior to you, lmaooo)

* Sessh knows what he's doing

*because if he didn't know what he's doing he wouldn't have let the feelings that made his stomach churn (in a good way) flow.

* being with the demon lord is also accepting that he is a proud man but can also be subtly gentle at times

*the last one applies only if it is your partner

*Sessh shows how proud he is to have you as his partner in many ways

*like, give you trinkets from expensive sources randomly

*once he gave you a super heavy necklace with a huge gem hung with various precious gems-

*yes, he gave it to you for your birthday lmao

*you looked simply majestic to his long-lived eyes

*I forgot to mention it but Sesshomaru sees you as the most beautiful being in all of history and he will continue to do so, even if you are already a stooped old woman and have a hard time eating solid food

* he knows that your life will not be as long as his, but he is happy with the thought that he had the fortune to meet and love you so much

*will keep your memory alive even after millions of years have passed, and even if all that time has passed he is sure that he will not love someone in the same way that he loved you... unless you reincarnate somehow (what if I make a fic of this?)

*anyways

* Sesshomaru is gentle when he touches you

* he knows that his claws could tear your delicate skin

*but he's not just gentle in that sense

* he is gentle even when he talks to you

*inadvertently sometimes his imposing voice softens more than he would on any other day when he doesnt speaks to you in front of other people and demons

*Although it seems impossible and almost fanciful, his previously cold eyes that hid his soul (which can also be gentle on rare occasions) also soften, so much that sometimes they let you see each and every one of his emotions

* Mr. fluffly can be chivalrous on simple “occasions” but they are only for your benefit, not for someone else's

*for example in a modern environment (perhaps in some not so distant future) He will open the doors for you, he will put you on the other side of the sidewalk where cars do not pass. When you get into a car before getting in, he will open the door for you to enter and if he feels in a particularly good mood he will place the seat belt to you. And if you feel cold he will put his heavy jacket on your little shoulders.

*anyways

*when his mom found out that Mr. Fluffy had a lover she immediately wanted to meet you

*you see, for her it's kind of funny since Sesshy denied more than two thousand marriage proposals when he was young (it upset his mom a lot, after all, who will take care of you when your mother is gone sessh?)

*don't tell her that I told you but to see that her son was not simply someone without feelings but that perhaps he just needed time to find that special someone, made her feel strangely happy (my woman thought that her son was going to die alone 💀).

*but she will never say it, also I think that pride runs strong in the Inu family, pfff-

*on the other hand

*if you are human he will be much more worried about you than he would be if you were a demon or half demon

* this is because even if you are a formidable warrior you can die (I mean have you seen Midoriko?, she was one of the most powerful priestess but even she couldn't handle that much)

*in the inuyokai's head, humans are fragile and annoying beings... except you, rin, kohaku and kagome she falls a bit into his category of non-obnoxious humans, pfff-

* even before he told you about his desire to woo you he researched as much as he could about ways to prolong human life

*This is because even if you reject his courtship offer, he will never stop loving and caring for you.

"When a demon falls in love, he does with such force that all his thoughts revolve around that special being for them."

*if you're from the same time as Kagome he'll be curious but won't show it

*you know?, the demon lord is so cute, his pride sometimes doesn't let him ask such simple things about your time. This is mainly because he thinks that some of his questions have obvious answers and he doesn't want to come off as a jerk.

*some of the questions that he will never ask are: “are the clothes of your time all the same?”, “are there no yokais anymore?”

*so instead of asking that he has decided that he will only listen to what you answer to others to inform himself too.

*you know

*He eavesdrops (what a nosy)

*if you say something from your time or if you make any cultural reference from your time he will just look at you while waiting patiently for the meaning behind what you just said.

*this also applies if you are a foreigner and you miss a non-Japanese word

“Carajo…”, you muttered a curse in your native language when you reminded yourself that you forgot your math books.

Sesshomaru turned to look at you with his cold gaze, only this time there was an imperceptible sparkle of curiosity in them, "What?"

“…Nothing”, ohhh- now what were you going to do? the exam would be in four days!

*aaa~ kisses

*kisses with Mr. Pretty can be fun, although sometimes disastrous, pfff-

*for example; once, you two were kissing after you were away longer than expected. Sesshomaru didn't realize it but he bit your lip more than necessary which caused his fangs to draw some blood from you

*he will never admit it

* but feeling the taste of your blood in his mouth disgusted him and scared him a little, although he obviously didn't show it

*meanwhile you were deciding if you liked what happened

*because

*that was hot-

*anyways!

*his kisses can be soft and rough at times

*there really isn't a middle ground

*in case you're wondering, his favorite part to kiss is your neck and shoulder

*kisses on the neck for Sesshomaru have a very deep meaning, more than you might think

*this is because among the Inuyokai clan the neck is a very intimate and delicate place that is dedicated to being kissed and cared for only between a couple

*a kiss on the neck is the same as "I love you" in the human dialect, literally

*shoulder kisses is more something he enjoys doing

*you see, your shoulders look so delicate and soft between his big demon hands that he can't help but kiss them when the situation allows him to.

*in general mr. pretty demon who has a castle in the sky that will take care of you and think that you are the most beautiful in the whole universe even when you are hunched over and have a hard time eating solid food while he tries to understand what you say sometimes, pff-

I want to write about Sesshomaru trying fast food or instant noodles with his partner soooo bad 😩 but I need to study for my exams aaaa-

Gargoyles of the Boiling Isles Headcanons for the AU

I decided to write a few more headcanons for the Stoneheart AU. Specifically for the Gargoyle Species as a whole on the Boiling Isles, since there are quite a few differences between them and the counterparts on Earth.

-------Gargoyles of the Boiling Isles:

-The physical appearance of Boiling Isles Gargoyles has a much broader variety of physical features including traits normally unseen on their Earth brethren. These traits include less prominent brows, colored eyes, actual eyebrows, multiple eyes and other such traits.

-Sadly, in spite of the wide variety of Gargoyles with unusual traits, there are none with web-wings. As those genes appear to have died out long ago.

-What could have attributed to the wide variety of traits in the Gargoyles of the Boiling Isles is the occasional interbreeding with Demons.

-Demons have genetics that easily mesh with others species and are capable of interbreeding with both Gargoyles and Witches. Offspring of these unions would be capable of having children of their own.

-However Gargoyles and Witches cannot directly interbreed with each other without the aid of certain magical spells.

-These aforementioned spells can change the species of one of the parents to allow for the conception of a child. However they do not allow for a permanent species change. On average they will last for 24hrs, some can last for three days... The most potent will last for one week. But there has never been recorded spell allowing for a permanent species change.

-But the child would not be a hybrid, rather would just be either one species or another, although they may display some minor traits of their other parents true nature.

-Witch/Demon hybrids CAN interbreed with Gargoyles but the likelihood of conception is extremely low... With maybe four or five instances ever having been recorded.

-In regards to changing species... The closest reference to a permanent change in an individuals species is an old fable called 'The Skin-Takers' and in that story the permanent change was considered a curse...

-Anyway since I seem to be a bit off topic...

-The fertility of Gargoyles in the Demon Realm is also considerably higher than Earth Gargoyles.

-On Earth a Gargoyle can only breed once every twenty years and often only producing a single egg, or rarely two. On the Boiling Isles the fertility is much higher, with instances of children being produced only a few years apart. Such as Eda and Lilith only being two years apart from their hatch-day.

-Sadly the ten year incubation the eggs require has not naturally decreased. However placing sun talismans on the eggs has been shown to cut the time needed in half.

-Another big difference between the Gargoyles of Earth and the Gargoyles of the Boiling Isles is the adherence to the 'Gargoyle Way'

-While this old traditional way of living still exists, and there are several particularly well known clans that follow it, the overall perception of the practice has a significant divide among the Gargoyle population. With 50 percent having a negative view of it and 50 percent with a positive view.

-Gargoyles that follow this path in life still communally raise their young and tend to follow the 'Tradition' of only having children once every twenty years... Although that practice varies depending on the clan.

-Gargoyles like Rhiannon Frostflame tend to hold bitter views about the Gargoyle Way, as growing up she would often be ignored by virtually all of her Rookery Parents with the exception of a single older female Gargoyle named Fiadh, who was the only adult who cared about her.

-In her own words: 'If you fit in you're fine, if you don't your ignored by all of this messed up family...'

-There is no rule that a Gargoyle has to stay with the clan they are born in. So a Gargoyle born in such a clan is free to leave when they come of age. This is particularly the case of Gargoyles with feathered wings, as even in modern times they are still considered bad luck by other Gargoyles.

-Another physical difference between Earth and Demon Realm Gargoyles is their heights and overall physical strength.

-They tend to be taller than Gargoyles from Earth, standing on between 6'7 to 8'3 on average.

-However, in spite of the impressive heights they are not as physically strong.

-They are considered to be physically stronger than most creatures in the Demon Realm, however in fights with Earth Gargoyles they would lose 90 percent of the time if no magic was used.

-The exceptions to this are Gargoyles like Rhiannon, who have a great deal of talent and experience fighting physically. And Belos, who has a very high tolerance for pain.

-Although both Earth and Demon Realm Gargoyles do share another similarity in that they will typically only choose one mate per lifetime.

-The only exceptions to this seen so far are Belos, who was forced to choose a mate against his will, who has since passed away... and Alador and Odalia Blight. Who have just grown to despise each other and only stay together for appearence sake.

-To which they are both involved in affairs... Odalia with several of her companies demon employees... and Alador with Darius.

And that's it for now... I have to get back to working on my next chapter for this story, later! :)

A totally self indulgent compilation of my favorite works on this blog of the year June 13, 2019 - June 13, 2020

I wanted to do this for the blog's first anniversary but then completely forgot about it lol.

The following lists are all in chronological order according to the date each post was first published.

Top 10 panel edits:

#1: Don and Gilda - Chapter 138: Demon serch (1)

Date: Jun 14th, 2019

Time: ~ 1:30 h

My very first redraw from my very first edit posted here, so it deserves an honorable mention. Back then I was young and inexperienced, I didn't even apply a gray filter (lmao I was so unskilled I even unintentionally scratched the picture, I hadn't realized until today). I'm actually very happy my first redraw was of Don, boy deserves all the love.

#2: Emma and Ray - Chapter 140: I’m Here!

Date: Jun 28th, 2019

Time: ~ 1 h

Back then this looked like so much work to me!!! And to this day, I think it turned out pretty well. I'm particularly proud of how the bow turned out. This is one I was really proud of right after having finished it; it gave me the confidence to try redrawing bigger areas. Also, the edit were I first applied the opacity of layer / opacity of brush for the gray filter that would have stuck with me.

#3: Krone's birthday edit

Date: Jul 15th, 2019

Time: 15 mins

I don't know I just really like how Krone's hair vanish to a more sketch-like style here– and consequently, how I managed to replicate such effect. I think Krone's beautiful.

#4: Emma, Norman and Ray - Chapter 153: Coward

Date: Oct 4th, 2019

Time: 4:07 h (and 67 layers lmao)

Probably the single panel redraw I'm the most proud of. That Norman panel was beautiful and very poignant at the end of a chapter I adored, so I believe it deserved all the time I've spent working on it. It's far from being perfect - the back of his head is too plain, and the difference between my brushes and the original brushes is pretty visible - but I still like it very much and am extremely attached to it. The horn looks kinda big but I honestly believe it to be more of an issue with the original than with what I had redrawn lol. Funny enough, the whole picture didn't make it to the final edit and had to be trimmed.

#5: Full Score Trio - Chapter 154: A Breakthrough

Date: Oct 11th, 2019

Time: 29 mins

I don't have a particular reason for this I just think Emma's hair turned out amazing. It took just half an hour and I didn't even use references like. Wow. @Redrawing skills where did you go please come back

#6: Mujika and Queen Legravalima - Chapter 158: The Reason I Was Born

Date: Nov 17th, 2019

Time: 2:09 h

Sis I love this so freaking much. The shift from redrawing almost exclusively people and clothes to redrawing this mess was so fun and refreshing. Even though it's a mess I think it turned out very clean and overall it looks beautiful? I remember after finishing this I felt so powerful, like now that I had redrawn this thing I would have been able to redraw anything I set my mind on lol.

#7: Emma - Chapter 161: Never Be Alone

Date: Dec 13th, 2019

Time: 57 mins

Again no particular reason except this is a very cute Emma and I think the redraw turned out pretty well. There's this big lock on the left that doesn't make a lot of sense but overall I really like it. Cute Emma is cute, and I love her determination.

#8: Emma - Chapter 166: Going Back Home

Date: Mar 9th, 2020

Time: 3:45 h

I'M SO FREAKING PROUD OF THAT RIFFLE I have not the slightlest idea why this took so damn long BUT I'M SO PROUD OF IT

#9: Norman's birthday edit

Date: Mar 21st, 2020

Time: 1:04 h

This is cool! I didn't know I could manage to draw this, but I did it! The feathers were particularly hard to clean but I think they turned out fine.

#10: Full Score Trio - Chapter 174: A New World (part 1)

Date: Apr 6th, 2020

Time: 2:11 h

I just think they're very pretty? I can't understand if I like Ray's face a lot, or not at all, but I think overall there was a lot to redraw and it turned out pretty cute! Sorry Gillian.

(Also insert pretty much every panel from the chapter 177 Isabella edit– I've spent so many hours on basically every panel there's no way I could choose only one).

Top 5 edits as whole:

#1: Emma and Ray - Chapter 140: I’m Here!

Date: Jun 29th, 2019

Complessive time: 2:57+ h

The very first edit I'm actually proud of; I'm really attached to it. It's the first edit I had put all of my effort into, and I remember feeling anxious people would have left it without notes. It kinda feels weird to think about it now, because I really don't care about notes anymore; yet, it somehow makes me happy to think that past-me wasn't let down. Thank you @neverlandstrio for your support, you may not remember but it really meant a lot to me back then! And it still makes me smile. You're the best!!!!!!

#2: Mujika and Queen Legravalima - Chapter 158: The Reason I Was Born

Date: Nov 20th, 2019

Complessive time: 7:12+ hours

This whole edit was an hella wild ride. It's midnight before a school day, when I think: "Mh, it's been a while since I last made an edit, why not make one about Musica and the queen from the last chapter?" And seven hours after this was born. I'm particularly proud of the queen's redraws on the 3rd, 7th and 9th picture (ofc), the areas which have been redrawn are pretty huge yet I think the difference with the original is almost impossible to notice?? @Redrawing skills where did you go please come back (part 2)

#3: Emma - Chapter 174: A New World (part 1)

Date: Apr 12th, 2020

Complessive time: 6:53+ h

I think the panels that were selected work very well together, especially considering the close-up / full body alternation. I love Emma, and I've always been kinda sad noticing that edits that focus one her take the less notes... She deserves all the love. Also, fun fact: for the last but one panel, I had redrawn Emma's whole left ear before remembering she doesn't have one, so I had to redraw the panel from the start. Besides from the error with the ear, the reason why this (and all the others after) took so long is because official panel take way longer to clean.

#4: Isabella and her children - Chapter 177: Mother

Date: May 22nd, 2020

Complessive time: 13:41+ h (ahah.)

Lmao tbh I can't understand how this has so few notes it's like. Technically speaking, probably the best edit I've ever done. I don't even like Isabella that much, I haven't got the slightlest idea why I decided to spend so many hours on this. Anyway, I find the composition (full body on the left / headshots on the right) really good looking in this as well! And I think the redraws turned out fine, especially Isabella's.

#5: The Promised Neverland manga ending countdown→ 1/7 chapters: chapter 1 - Grace Field House

Date: Jun 9th, 2020

Complessive time: 1:59+ h

I don't know how I came up with that idea for the composition but I find it really beautiful??? I think it does a pretty good job conveying the sudden, terrific shift of atmosphere from the first chapter, and I think that sharp bridge is very nice. I'm very, very proud of this.

Honorable mention #1: Full Score Trio - Chapter 154: A Breakthrough

Date: Oct 13th, 2019

Complessive time: 3:44+ h (+ 1:13 h of working on a panel that ultimately didn't make it to the final edit)

A very good chapter, and the edit turned out surprisingly amazing??? All the redraws look great and make it almost impossible to distinguish them from the original; honestly I feel like I'll never be able to redraw so neatly again lol.

Honorable mention #2: Don and Gilda (+ Norman) - Chapter 160: Shackles

Date: Dec 11th, 2019

Complessive time: 3:14+ h

That one is really one of my favorite scenes; I'm telling you peoples, Gilda and Don are a blessing to the earth. I think I've never mentioned it, but Gilda's hair is a nightmare to redraw??? More specifically, it takes me h o u r s to fill the texture without making it look too weird, it's the worst.

Honorable mention #3: Norman and Ray - Chapter 179: Compensation

Date: Jun 6th, 2020

Complessive time: 4:16+ h

I was so glad to finally be able to make a Norman / Ray edit, and it turned out it was just in time before the series' finale. I like how it turned out and I'm pretty satisfied with the redraws (even though my sister helped me with the lineart of some panels - it was exams time and I really couldn't afford to spend more time on it), too bad we didn't have more chapters that focused on the boys. Ray sweetie one day I'll fix your ear it's just today's not that day.

Btw, I justed realized I have never done an Emma / Norman centered edit? I'll have to make one eventually. I remember considering focusing on them alone for the chapter 154 one, but then I thought "even if the manga is gonna ignore Ray, I will chose to do not" lol.
