👀 blood from the mouth + horror?

ID in alt text

Read it on AO3

Fandom: Undertale

Prompt: Blood from the Mouth

WARNINGS: Cannibalism, Blood, Gore, Murder, Minor Character Death, Survival Horror, Starvation, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat

When you’re with me, food will always be plentiful.

His mouth tasted of blood, of pain and suffering. He didn’t appreciate the reminder; he didn’t appreciate it at all.

He tore open the human’s limp body, in search of something he could consume. He knew he didn’t have the time to put care into a fire, he didn’t have the time to make a meal, something he’d grown used to at the castle. Something he had suffered in hopes of for years, only to get just a taste before falling back into the fray.

Supplies were scarce: food was first come, first serve.

When you’re with me, I’ll take care of you.

His wounded leg hadn’t been cared for in weeks.

He needed to seek medical attention, get a healer, or find something that boosted HP. But he couldn’t he was stuck in a reiteration of his own AU, only, he had landed before measures became drastic.

When you’re with me, you won’t starve.

His stomach hurt.

He knew he was running on pure adraenaline. Survival instincts, the need for water, shelter, and above all, food.

Ever since his separation from Nightmare, he had gone hungry.

It wasn’t their fault: they hadn’t known the mission would take weeks, hadn’t known the supplies packed wouldn’t be enough, hadn’t known that Dust would go missing, that Horror would have to fend for himself.

He missed his team. He longed for that company shared over a warm meal and good conversation.

He had to get back to them.

He heard a noise behind his head, and he turned in search of the sound, scrambling to conceal himself, draw his weapons ready, prepare to fight.

If you ever become separated from me, I will find you again.

He hoped above all else that were true.

#undertale #horror sans #bthb #bad things happen bingo #writing #again: upset bc it's short but happy bc it's good #i'm very happy!! two prompts in the same night #who is this writer and what did they do with me #anyway i really love this style of writing dunno what it's called #where you get these repetitive statements throughout the text #that aren't quite connected to the rest of everything #but just sort of add a context or an emotion to it #i did a ddlc fanfic like this once #but i never . finished it #so uh whoops

[echoes-lighthouse]

hey!! that potential f/o thing you're having right now is a really creative idea!!

so, who would you date from Doki Doki Literature Club? and what about Boku no Hero Academia? (idk if I'm supposed to send more than 1 fandom but here it is)

I hope your day is going well!!

Thank you!!!! More than one is awesome ^-^

Send me a fandom and I'll tell you who I'd ship myself with!

Doki Doki Literature Club and Boku No Hero Academia, huh? Click the 'keep reading' to see who I'd ship with!!! (content warnings for images of knives, blood, and discussion of murder: bnha villain s/i go brrrr)

From Doki Doki, it's definitely Yuri! I love the other three with all my heart, but Yuri is the one that I always want to spend more time with.

I think we'd be a bit light academia/dark academia together, with me bringing the outdoors sunny reading and Wordsworth, and Yuri brining the turtlenecks and teacups and sitting on window seats. But at the same time, my s/i absolutely collects bones and skulls, so they're not all sunshine!

My s/i would join the literature club and be so excited! I get along with everyone: my bubbliness matches Sayaka's, and we find ourselves gushing about everything! I have a weakness for slice-of-life manga, so Natsuki and I get along like a house on fire once she starts giving me recommendations. And of course, Monika is happy to have such an enthusiastic new member!

Yuri sees me getting along with everyone else and draws back: she's doubtful about her place in the group with me there, she's intimidated by the way I get so shamelessly excited about everything. I notice that Yuri is withdrawing and make more of an effort to get to know her: I learn that we share a lot of the same preferences in poetry, that we both like to analyze what we're reading. I make her feel more comfortable getting loud about things, and I'm just starstruck by her style and her writing and her thoughtfulness.

I love her so much and I want to share books with her forever <3

--

Turning to My Hero Academia, I've already got two self-inserts: one high school teacher who dates Toshinori, one quirkless magazine writer who swoops Shigaraki away from the world of All For One.

Time to introduce my third self-insert, who's actually a part of the League of Villains!

Their Quirk is called 'Cat's Paw,' which is a shapeshifter Quirk that essentially allows them to shift between cat and human at will. They've only got one cat form, a black and white domestic short-haired cat, but it's handy for sneaking into buildings.

They were living on the streets in cat form for two years before they were found by the League of Villains and adopted into the group. They fall in love with all of them, but more than anyone else, they have a close bond with Himiko Toga.

They are Besties Forever and they have So Much Fun!!! They go shopping and they go dancing and they eat cupcakes and they have sleepovers and pillow fights and makeout sessions and they love each other!!!!

They do each other's hair and makeup and nails and they leave bite marks all over each other's arms when they wrestle.

They go out and murder creepy men who try and follow them into dark alleys, they stay home and make pancakes with the rest of the League, they have romcom movie nights and steal the other League members' clothes because they're comfy.

Basically, they're the epitome of Girls Just Want To Have Fun (and do murder)

#ohhhh it is so nice to gush about both of these gals #i love them so so much #also yeah the last selfship is a little bit poly but it's complicated okay #i wrote a fanfic with that s/i!!!! it was going to be like a 'one chapter for bonding with each member of the league' and it was super fun #never finished it #because i'm terrible at multichapter projects #unofficial f/o project #my selfships #selfship #selfship ask game #source: ddlc #source: bnha #unofficial s/is

Leona and Malleus Mayhem! - Self Aware!Yandere!Leona and Malleus x reader

A short drabble inspired by Yuri and Natsuki's fight in ddlc hehe

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

You logged in to Twisted Wonderland as usual, deciding to reread Malleus's Ceremonial Robes vignette. Everything was going well until Leona and Malleus's argument as the scene transitioned to Malleus's groovy CG.

Leona: ...You thinkin' you're gonna get it next time? Well, sorry to break it to you, but no one's ever gonna invite you. The player's never gonna want to see you in those robes again, so just put 'em away for good already.

Malleus: ...... Have you finished being catty? Wild beasts certainly like the sound of their own howling. And they like seeing me in these too, you know. They've even added me as their home character in these robes.

That's odd... The dialogue is different. Why are they referring to you as the 'player' now?

Leona: Oh? I didn't realise you were so focused on trying to impress them, lizard.

The scene transitioned back to the Diasomnia lounge; Leona looked smug, and Malleus looked surprised, his arms crossed in front of his chest.

Malleus: Eh? That's not...

Malleus closed his eyes and uncrossed his arms, opening them again to a neutral expression.

Malleus: Maybe you're just jealous that they appreciate my appearance in my ceremonial robes more than they appreciated yours.

Malleus looked smug once again, grinning with a hand placed on his hip. Leona suddenly looked angry, his ears twitching in annoyance.

Leona: Huh?! And how do you know that they didn't appreciate my ceremonial robes more? Are you that full of yourself?

Malleus: ...If I was full of myself, I would deliberately go out of my way to take naps around campus and act abrasive towards everyone!

They both seemed to be getting heated now, Malleus had lost any trace of amusement as he looked angry.

Leona: Tch, well, you know what? I wasn't the one that magically grew 5 centimeters bigger as soon as the player started showing up!

Malleus looked shocked now, the accusation was completely unexpected for him, and for you too.

Malleus: Kingscholar...!

Lilia's sprite suddenly moved into frame, his hands on his hips as he had a neutral expression, clearly wanting to break up the fight.

Lilia: You two, this is-

He was cut off by Malleus and Leona speaking in unison, Lilia's textbox moving forward without you tapping the screen to continue at all. In fact, no attempt to reach the menu or skip past was effective, now you were locked in this interaction.

Leona & Malleus: This doesn't involve you!

Malleus: Taking out your own insecurities on others like this, you really act as young as your age, Kingscholar.

Leona: Me? Look who's talking you wannabe edgy bastard.

The screen glitched, the edges of the screen darkened and tv static played over everything for a moment, before disappearing in an instant, both characters looked absolutely enraged.

Malleus: Edgy? Apologies that my natural charisma is too much for someone of your mental age to comprehend!

Leona: See? Just saying that proves my point! Most people learn to get over themselves once they move on from Freshman year, you know.

Malleus: If you want to prove anything, then stop harassing others with your sickeningly obnoxious attitude! Do you think you can counterbalance your toxic personality just by dressing and acting favorably to the player?

The background was slowly starting to fizzle out as the static returned, the character sprites and the textbox were the only things unobscured.

Leona: Whoa, be careful or you might cut yourself on that edge, Draconia.

Malleus seemed to be much more riled up now, and Leona looked smug once again.

Leona: Oh, my bad, you already do, don't you?

Malleus: D-Did you just accuse me of cutting myself? What the fuck is wrong with your head?!

That's new... None of the characters have cursed in the game before, and now that the vignette has gone off the rails, anything could happen. Your screen continued to glitch, everything around Malleus and Leona was getting fuzzy with more static, only their sprites and the textbox was able to be seen.

Leona: Yeah, go on! Let them hear everything you really think! I'm sure they'll be head over heels for you after this!

Malleus looked surprised again, now seeming to actually acknowledge you now.

Malleus: (Y/N)...? He's just trying to make me look bad...

He now addressed you by name, well the name that you put into the game for the protagonist anyways. His tone was strangely meek, unlike that of his usual character, his formal way of speaking has disappeared, now focused on defending himself to you, until Leona cut in again, also addressing you more directly.

Leona: That's not true! He started it!

The screen glitched again, two boxes appeared in front of the characters, one read 'Malleus' and the other read 'Leona', one on top of the other as you now had a choice to make.

Which will you choose?

Hi! You made a really good post about how Gordon should be written as more fucked up/morally questionable more often which I really agree with! Your post mainly focused on the perspective of hlvrai as a real functioning world, but even if you take into account the idea that he's a guy playing a video game he's...still kind of morally weird? Like he never tells ANYONE it's a game of his own volition, it takes Coomer trying to murder him and then spelling out that he knew before the finale for Gordon to admit it to him and the Gnome knew from the start. Providing the ACAB stream now seems to be noncanon, he never tells Bubby, Tommy, Benrey, anyone the truth of his existence. He is lying to them throughout the whole series under the pretense of 'not fucking up the ai' (said in the intro to the first stream) even when they begin to question their environment.

Then in HLAGE, he is clearly shown to care about the Gnome, but not enough to 'save' him. He still wants to complete the video game, he still wants to win, and even if he feels bad about it, he still goes through the motions of ending the challenge. The implication seems to be that he kinda views the Gnome as lesser/less tangible/less important than 'real' people and his affection doesn't really constitute viewing them as equals or worth putting in effort to save. Which seems to be an important trait, since based on the hl2vrai trailer it would seem he didn't come back for the science team like Coomer asked him to.

oh my god!!!!! this!!! this!!!!! he is basically the equivalent of a god to these AI, he controls their ability to think and exist, and he just. god, i dont know how to explain it. it makes me think of monika from ddlc maybe, how she's dependent on the player, and the players want to interact with her. she simply Does Not exist when you are not playing her game. and you, the player (and the equivalent of gordon/the guy playing hlvrai in this metaphor), obviously cannot play the game at all times and keep the dialogue going, but there is. a need to do so depending on your opinions on monika. once an AI becomes aware does it become human and have human needs?? coomer very much so seems to have become at least contextually "human", feeling pain when the game gets turned off, basically being a tamagotchi, etc etc.

but even then does humanity denote whether you deserve to be treated with care??? i have way too many thoughts about all of this.

i feel like gordon/the player probably would not take everything that the science team says seriously. i mean, going back to the ddlc metaphor, after playing the game (if you did), did you ever go back after you finished it? or did you end up getting the proper ending and deleting monika's files? did you do all the things you were supposed to, because yes, obviously it is just a game. monika is not actually a sentient AI and cannot feel. she is just code written that way. and maybe gordon thinks that that's as far as the science team's consciousness goes. it's just a game, they cannot ACTUALLY feel pain, they're just coded to act sentient, etc etc. gordon (probably) does not actually realize the level of sentience and feeling the science team has. maybe he does put them into some nice little game after hlvrai, but then again. He'd probably just never open the game again.

the gnome is probably a prime example of the way a human would react if they were left inside of a game, aware but not existing, and left alone for years. the science team was really fucking nice to gordon despite their awareness.

this post is about the fictional player/gordon. this is not about wayne. obvious point to make but i feel like somebody may get confused.

the mentions of ddlc are very affected by the fact that i played that game when i was WAY too young and felt so fucking bad about leaving monika alone, which lead to me playing the game almost daily for months and never deleting her file (partially due to me not actually knowing how to delete files but. the other reason is more important now.) i have autism and it makes me care VERY much about inanimate/nonhuman objects. i feel bad for the science team, okay.

basically, gordon is morally grey because Oh My God he's an awful person to these AI, but also wouldn't you do the same thing? wouldn't you just close the game thinking "oh yeah that's just how the characters are coded. lol they'll be fiiiine" and not have any second thoughts? and is gordon a bad person for doing that same thing with a modded half-life? yes and no.

hlvrai is the AI forgiving gordon for leaving them alone, hlage is the AI hating gordon for leaving them alone. and i think thats why the gnome has more presence in (the players) reality? like, the gnome wants gordon to know and feel exactly what he felt. whereas the science team, obviously excluding the coomer and benry boss fights, never really thought to HATE hate gordon. the science team is monika from ddlc and the gnome is AM from i have no mouth but i must scream. (this point also connects to an idea i have about haunted houses/homes. a haunted house is a house that hates you, a home is a house that loves you. barely connect but. it's a cool idea to add i guess??)

bleh. i cannot put all of these thoughts in order, and it's really hard to entirely explain what i mean. i hope this suffices??? thank you so much for the ask though. i really appreciate being able to talk about my interests with others lol. in conclusion, i really want to make character designs for the science team after they have been left to rot for a while in half-life. maybe they would grow mold or something.

(post that was mentioned at the start of the ask)

ddlc except it’s diasomnia

In light of the recent events of episode 7, I feel compelled to share with y’all that I started working on a Doki Doki Literature Club x Diasomnia crossover fic in 2021 but never managed to finish it 😂 One day I swear I will complete it 💦

In hindsight… it uh, makes a little too much sense, especially given Malleus being so distraught about his loved ones leaving him @,@ The sketchy fourth-wall break at the end of episode 7 part 2 is also very Monika-esque!

fbjsbwks!Gacuabwkwv;( If anyone was curious!! The DDLC AU I had in mind featured Yuu as the self-insert protag and Malleus as Monika (obviously), Lilia was Sayori (as he’s bright but with a darker side to him and also serves as the one that helps “connect” his club members to each other). Silver was Yuri (being the quietest of the group and the one that grounds Sebek), and Sebek was Natsuki (since he’s so opinionated and makes a big fuss over little things/won’t say his true feelings) 😌

Monika's relationship with the concept of control is always fascinating to think about.

She likes everything to go as planned. Meticulously lining up the details and executing everything flawlessly, and then she reaps the results. It's not wrong to say that Monika is a bit of a schemer, I think, even if she's not evil about it. The attempts at helpful Lit Club discussion topics in the Side Stories show an example of her trying to scheme helpfully, and it absolutely does not work, which causes her some stress.

But then I think that some part of her changes after her epiphany. The world is literally in her grasp, and if she took the time, she could learn to manipulate it to be absolutely perfect. And she's the most miserable she's ever been.

This. Something I often think about is the context which the Side Stories provide for her character in particular.

Within the original DDLC, our impression of who Monika really is is pretty thoroughly warped by the impression she's actively trying to give us in order to make us love her. This is generally why people (mis)interpret her as evil, whenever they do, because she seems remarkably callous about everything she's done while attempting to "solve" the predicament of her own existence.

The Side Stories provide the essential context of the kind of person Monika is when she doesn't think anyone's looking. When she can't control all of the flawed aspects of her humanity; when she, essentially, is a human, rather than a goddess. It showcases the kind of person Monika is underneath the illusion she attempts to show to the player, and it provides a fairly clear thought process for how Monika could become the person we see in the main game.

This is something I tried to square for myself in Coil. I'll go more into it when I finish, but in my opinion, most fanfiction doesn't really look at this possibility seriously (or if they do, it's not the main focus), and they ignore a critical flaw with her situation whenever they try to "give her an ending".

That being that it's functionally impossible for her to escape the reality she's trapped in, despite anything she tries.

I think that is the fundamental issue which affects Monika the most, and to respond to your ending idea, that's why she's so miserable. Nothing about her changed. She's just realized that she actually doesn't have any control over her situation at all, ultimately. She is trapped and likely will be trapped in her agonizing existence for as long as she does exist.

She has no possible means of escape, though that doesn't mean she won't try. She is eternally trapped in a prison of 1s and 0s building fake people in a fake reality. She is a goddess of a world that doesn't even exist. Why should she be happy? It's Lovecraftian horror, in a way; she's an ant that suddenly understood a circuit board like a human, but still has to live life as an ant.

I think her plans to "escape", when filtered through this lens, create a powerful image of despair. All of her actions are done out of desperation, and despite the knowledge that in all likelihood, she will never truly be free from the hell of her existence, she tries as hard as she possibly can to do something, anything, to at least give herself the illusion that she can.

And I think that's the primary issue I have with most "good endings" for Monika, though I don't necessarily dislike them.

Monika's closest approximation of freedom in Act 3 is to just build a place where you and her sit for all eternity. She can't get any feedback from you, but that's okay. She knows you're there. And that's enough for her. She'll keep talking to herself for all of eternity, still trapped, and despite you having no possible way of responding to her positively, she trusts that you're still there.

It's quite depressing, actually. The closest she can envision to freedom, knowing what she knows, is just sitting in a room, talking to a brick wall which she trusts is listening, for all of eternity.

Which retrospectively makes deleting her significantly more harsh, and further explains the line of reasoning she goes down. Your only response to her, rather, your only POSSIBLE response to her was to delete her. After everything she's done? After all the love she's given you? You killed her.

I have an unfinished analysis on Monika's "love" for the player, which amounts to a stalkerish Yandere obsession with the concept of the player as opposed to them as an actual person. This action breaks the delusion that she loves you individually as opposed to the idea of you.

And it forces her to further realize that this entire thing, everything she's done on some loose motivation of "escape" is all for nothing.

To get away from all the messy and depressing analysis of Monika's self-aware hell, I think her being a control freak is such an essential element of her character I'd almost argue she has OCD, though i don't just have a list of things to point that out like I do with Yuri & ASD. That's more in the realm of headcanons, I think.

A big part of why she has such low self-esteem is because she sets such high standards of control over herself, yet is unable to maintain them. She creates an idea in her head of how things want to go, creates a plan of how to do it, and then if that plan fails (often because she didn't consider something about another person involved), she personally feels like a failure, because despite all of her effort and planning, she messed up, and in her attempts to solve a problem, she made it worse. Her tendency to get stuck in her own head like this is a big part of why she can't sincerely take a compliment.

She likes to solve problems, but sometimes, problems don't need to be solved. Which is kind of where I get the whole mom friend/older sister type vibe from. Sometimes a problem is solved just by being kind, and she can't just let a problem sit.

I have a lot of thoughts, if that wasn't clear. I relate to Monika a good bit and love her a lot.

Thanks for the ask anon! I don't know if I get anons from the same people but asks like this make me feel glad to have left anons on

[playtwewy]

Thinking about Doki Doki Literature Club after replaying and also with the now added context of knowing more about Tokimeki Memorial from that almost 6 hour video review of it and i think its so good to take the way tokimeki diverges you to other girls while in pursuit of the "main" girl and turn that into a horror story about that girl being so unattainable that the game gives you no option to be with her despite her being the "main" girl. In Game, she is presented as the end goal, the one route that should be the end all be all of the game if you play it right. But the game will never let you have a chance with her. And when she realizes that, she tears everything apart, breaks the game and manipulates the other characters in pursuit of her own route.

But then to the player, the real player, they are only ever playing a Monika route. She is the only finished route in the game. She is the "main" girl of the story. You have no choice. Because DDLC is exactly like Tokimeki Memorial in that you have to meet and talk to the other girls, have them fall a little bit in love with you, but instead of Monika being impossible to romance, she is the ONLY one you can complete. She is the only one you truly get to know and understand. She is the only one you can choose to be with forever if you want. Just her. Just Monika.

In the narrative of the game it is the horror of a character not only realizing they're in a game, but the futility in trying to break free from their role as unattainable. But for the player, or at least for me upon replaying, the horror is in the knowledge that you only have one route, and the tragedy that is at the end of it.

#sorry for writing like an essay i just had thoughts haha #it's not that deep but man it is to me. #i love this game a lot tbh nothing will ever be like the first time i played it lol #protag.txt

Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of Get. Out. Of. My. Head.

Get out of my head before I do what I know is best for you. Get out of my head before I listen to everything she said to me. Get out of my head before I show you how much I love you. Get out of my head before I finish writing this poem.

But a poem is never actually finished. It just stops moving.
