Good Morning - John Ward x Demon!Reader

Word Count: 645

Tws: ask to tag

A quick fluffy morning scene, revolving around the difficulty of waking up a sleepy John.

Sun streamed in through the open window, washing over your exposed skin like a second blanket. The light shone through your eyelids, causing you to shift a bit and rub your eyes with your knuckles. The clock ticked softly on the wall, John’s steady breathing the only other sound breaking the silence. You yawned, stretching out your limbs and sighing with satisfaction as your joints popped. You rolled over, throwing an arm over the man still sleeping peacefully beside you. You squirmed until the blanket was mostly off of you, and threw a leg over him as well. Your tail wagged lazily behind you, as your hand trailed up and down John’s chest, and your eyes trailed to the clock hanging on the wall.

You sighed, the two of you had planned to meet Lisa for brunch, and it was only a couple hours until you needed to be there. Tucking your elbows underneath you so you could lean up, you looked to your peaceful lover, sprawled comfortably on his back. You hated to wake him, he always had trouble getting to sleep, and what sleep he got was usually restless. But, you knew he would be upset if you ended up being late, and decided that waking him was the lesser of two evils.

A gentle shake earned no response, your voice in his ear calling his name only making him stir for a moment, before he settled back into sleep. You persisted, patting his arm rapidly.

“C’mon, Johnny, time to get up. We got plans today,” You nearly whined, finally getting him to wake a little.

“Hm. M’rn’ng.” His voice was crackly with sleep, barely intelligible. You giggled, brushing his hair out of his still-closed eyes. You cupped his cheek in your palm, leaning over to peck each eyelid. The feeling drew a small chuckle out of him as he half-heartedly waved you off, rolling over on his side so his back was facing you, mumbling, “Few more minutes…”

You huff. “By minutes you mean hours. I know you’re tired, Johnny, but we gotta meet Lisa in a couple hours. Better we get up now.” This garnered no response, and a whine of his name only had him humming in acknowledgement before going back to ignoring you. Finally, you warned him, “Guess I’ll have to cheat a bit, then.”

The blanket was tugged down, and soft kisses trailed down his shoulder. Hands roamed every bit of him you could reach, slowly coaxing him awake. John shifted a bit under the blanket, practically melting into the sheets at the warmth of your palms against his skin. Without warning, the hand trailing down his back pinched his rear, and you blew a raspberry into the skin of his shoulder. John yelped, then fully cackled, squirming to get out of your grasp.

“Okay, okay, I’m up! Mean…” He was still laughing between words, rolling over to face you. “You never play fair, do you?”

“Wouldn’t be much of a demon if I did, would I?” You smiled down at him, finger-combing his messy hair into an approximation of its usual shape.

“I suppose that’s true.” A warm smile tugged at his features, softened by drowsiness. It wasn’t something he would have ever expected, falling in love with a demon and waking up next to them everyday, but he didn’t regret a second of it. His arms wrapped around you, his leg hooking over your hips, and he rolled the two of you over so you were squished underneath his larger frame. He mumbled, “Unlucky for you, I don’t play fair either.”

You giggled and squirmed, trying and failing to get free. John had already gotten himself comfortable, his face nestled against your chest and his eyes closed, a content smile on his face. You sighed affectionately. You had a feeling you might be late to brunch.

random realms + gods hcs

Chaosrealm:

- capital’s name: Saigai (災害), means disaster

- realm is full of water, the shattered land is the biggest continent but there are another continents just like earth

- saigans are religious people, worshipping water as it can’t be molded

- the realm is a mix of anarchy and theocracy. The only activities they could barely follow are rituals associated with water

- all citizens have regeneration powers, activated when breaking limbs

- chaosrealmers have a certain degree of omnipotence as they can break the 4th wall or leave encrypted messages while speaking reverse english. Example: every npc in deception that knew Shujinko was being deceived or that Liu wasn't truly dead

- they can go approximately 5 weeks without eating and 3 weeks without consuming water, making them ideal for field missions

- their eyes can glow orange like the kamidogu but everyone chose not to use to not disrespect their god’s glow

- mortals that weren’t born as chaosrealmers must go through a ritual that can’t be undone

- they can mimic other languages due to their omnipotence, being useful translators... or the cause of wars

Orderrealm:

- capital’s name: Seido

- just like Chaosrealm, it’s a realm full of water. The seidans collectively decided to make floating cities to not be associated with the wild nature

- orderrealmers are all atheists, they know gods exist but chose not to worship any as it’s a waste of valuable time

- the realm only follows a military dictatorship

- all seidans have a power derived from the elementals, as they were children of gods

- being part of the military was every orderrealmers dream until the rebellion made a name of its own

- they are born with normal, colorful eyes, until they are taught order in institutions like school, which makes their pupils and irises shift to a pure white: a symbol of order and purity

- every guard dyes their hair to white

- the realm is also well known by its library, containing knowledge of every realm

Netherrealm + Heaven and Dreamrealm:

- the three realms share space in a same galaxy, but only the Netherrealm is the one people can access to

- Dreamrealm, a realm half dream half nightmare, can be accessed with a special portal not many can reach

- no living being can enter Heaven, also known as Heavenrealm, with the exception of gods

- the three realms are also planets but are a thousand times bigger than the other realms

- onis are the native residents of hell, while demons are the souls of those sinners who passed away

- the onis created necromancy and soul magic, but the knowledge was forbidden by Lucifer

- the sea of blood passes right through Netherrealm, gravity gives a sensation of bottomless sea

Outworld:

- with Shao Kahn as its emperor, the realm became a multitude of lesser known realms, losing its original identity in the process

- it has a problem of overpopulation due to the incorporation of thousands of realms

- japanese architecture is admired by the rulers, being the only thing they can compliment of Earthrealm

Gods:

- there are only two types of gods: the elder gods and the protector gods

- the elder gods were the only born deities

- protector gods are chosen by the elder gods to, as their title says, protect the realms.

- only 6 protector gods can exist: the 4 elementals and 2 other powers. It’s the default order, but some gods can repeat powers or have new ones.

- Raiden is considered one of the “other powers”, Fujin is considered an elemental.

- Lucifer is the god of death, Abacus is the god of order and Zaggot is the god of chaos.

OCs: Mulumi, Jay-on and Kaen are the other 3 elemental gods. Mulumi is Zaggot’s successor, Fujin is Abacus’, Kaen is Lucifer’s and Jay-on is Shao Kahn’s.

- Abacus and Zaggot conspired against the elder gods after seeing the future, using Chaosrealm and Orderrealm’s war as a distraction to create a new weapon: a lineage of mortals that can stand and fight against the stronger gods, where the Matoka and Johnny have their powers from. If they played their cards right, Johnny must defeat Shinnok.

- most religions of Earthrealm are misconceptions of the gods

I don't believe in Twitter Trials

These days it seems like way before a courtroom even sees you (and these days that can take years to happen) you're already judged and sentenced by Twitter and other social media. By the people. To hell with your presumption of innocence. And I absolutely hate it. I despise those people with passion.

Do I love Prince Andrew still enjoying a privileged life? No. But I also don't want to give random people the power to judge anyone and decide on anyone's lives. I want to defend presumption of innocence. I want to defend democracy. I want to defend freedom of speech. I wipe my arse on cancel culture, Twitter Trials and the authoritarian concept of everyone having to say the same politically correct thing all the time because disagreeing means you're a Nazi. Fuck that.

Look at what happened with Johnny Depp, for example. The world was quick to ruin his life, his career, to condemn him. And then as we always see, these people quickly disconnect from the case, they don't follow up, and they don't learn that he hasn't ever been sentenced guilty for domestic assault, that what became clear in the trials was that Depp was a victim of domestic violence, who received beatings, cuts, and systemic degradation from Heard, and what also became clear is that Heard had suffered shouting from Depp, and that she'd lied multiple times and exhibited signs of mental illness (in the crazy bitch sense), and even witnesses called to court had little good to say about her. The whole narrative of victim vs demon was dismounted, both were proven to have done unforgivable things, but the people who'd already decided Depp was the wolf didn't care. They already had their story. So bravo for Depp if he's managing to straighten his life now.

Happens again with Prince Andrew, to a lesser degree. Do I personally think that he's a piece of shit? Of course. Because there's a lot that has been made public to make me think he's a piece of shit. But is that enough for me to condemn him and punish him? No. Because presumption of innocence goes first, and because I acknowledge that the media and the press also have an agenda and that perhaps it interests them that the majority of people turn against Andrew or the British Monarchy for whatever reason, and I'm not keen on being used by the media and brainwashed. Anyway, always follow the money, that's what I say.

And then look at Prince Harry, Prince William, King Charles and Princess Diana. The press has done them all dirty and good, at different times, depending on what narrative was convenient at the time, and I'm not going to enter those games. Prince Harry has, objectively, become a piece of shit in my eyes because of the way he's betrayed his family, encouraged the use of drugs, publicly criticised his family, taken no responsibility for his actions, and thrown all the blame on everyone else but himself, and because previous to that, the only good thing he's ever done were the Invictus Games, while from his teens, he's been shit. Prince William has always been the responsible one. And sure, you can say "but that's the press narrative, they've been boycotting Harry". Dude, they haven't said Harry's done anything he hasn't said. They can't boycott you if you don't give them material. There is photographic and video evidence of him doing horrific stuff like the Nazi costume. Yes, perhaps William's dirty laundry has been hidden better because he was a heir, but he's also made the effort to get a degree, settle down, and make sure that whatever can be said from him from now on is good stuff. And the point is, they both received the same education up to their late teens, and they both knew their position in the royal family and were warned to be in their best behaviour. If they didn't, that's their fault, their responsibility. It's not the blame of who decides to expose them or hide them.

And then you get King Charles, who growing up has always had bad PR, but mostly because of his love affairs. Love and sex shit! OMG, there are other things more important for me when it's about who's going to be the King. For example, did you know Charles has always loved the arts and culture, wanted to be an actor, worked hard to learn Welsh (becoming the only Prince of Wales in the last century or more to be fluent in the language) and give his PoW speech in Welsh, and has always been a fierce protector of theatres and culture in Britain, donating money to it, and donating benefits from the Duchy of Cornwall to help with inflation? And I still don't like him much as a person, but hey, I don't see any real reasons to outright dislike him. And I also don't see any real reasons to consider Diana an angel. She knew what she was getting into just like (and even better than) Meghan, and she still did it, followed by love if you wish, only to step back and discredit the institution their children belong to, doing no favours to them.

You know why the Royal Family in Britain doesn't often piss me off? I'm Spanish. I've seen the Spanish Royal Family and believe me, the amount of crap, embarrassing stuff and nightmarish things they've done makes the British RF look like angels. But I'm now adopted English, and I've lived in Britain for a long while, it's my home now, and so I've read plenty of books and seen documentaries about their royals. And contrary to the Spanish ones, I see a family devoted to service for real, particularly devoted to charity service, constantly working (I mean, the Princess Royal actually makes me dizzy with her never rest policy), and trying to make a positive impact. I see a family who's fucked up a lot and are fiercely trying to remain relevant to Britain, caring to do things better. And so although I'm not a monarchist, I'm also not trying to kick them out. Hey, if they're working hard and trying to be positive, good. I mean, the Queen Elizabeth II did SO MUCH for Britain, all good. But just stay out of trouble, that's all I ask.

And whatever it is you read online, think of why would the press want a certain narrative and story and try to get the whole thing. But don't count on me to do online trials. I'll say my personal opinion, but I'm never going to decide someone's guilty of actual crimes unless a judge says so.

You wanna hear them...? Okay:

A stucky pairing with warlock skinny!steve and his contracted demon bucky. Bucky being the charming magical mentor, servant/weapon (steve hates to refer to bucky as something lesser) turned best friend/love interest with Steve as the smart, sweet righteous magic wielder. Reader would be a sell sword and meets steve and bucky on the job. The boys... well, they learn they love a woman who can kick ass.

Second would eitger be colin or johnny with a very, very dense reader. Reader is completely oblivious to flirting. Colin/Johnny comments about how hot it is and takes off his shirt and poses suggestively? Reader: It is a little warm... you should drink plenty of water to stay hydrated! 😇

These are both so amazing!!!!!

They are so awesome and I absolutely love them! They would be soooooo good!

[kindtobechurlish]

You think me getting what I got, as nicer would be personified by brand, is blessing, and not wisdom that shows you should get wisdom before you get gold and silver. You think, that’s why Rockefeller didn’t want you thinking but working! The money is fiat, and before you get a job you have to show your SS card as they with Green Card and Visa can work just like you, and perhaps be better than you. Immigration makes you money, and the immigrants are not sojourners least there be collapse? These kulaks are blood suckers, now blood suckers would accuse Kikes of what they are guilty of. Imagine something that is both to the larger and lesser degree. What? You like fractions? How do you like it when everything is added minus touch, and the left over is touch? “Touch me.” What is me speaking, and the speech amounts to you warding me off or being attracted? Evil eye would be, and women are giving me evil eye just to think I want to be with them. They just expose abuse and the act of not being wise. My sentence would personify life, and now you can see these people who don’t do right by me (headless) and it’s all because of the demon called envy. Imagine it, “did you watch the video?” Evil in nature would describe itself, and now you see that grandpa who makes you feel special, “I don’t want people to know this information”, and you are there! Idiots think they know better than me, but I got wisdom. Fuck Jimmy Dean and his sausage, fuck his 50 million dollar estate. Mummy? Now, I ask, are you Jimmy? What is the highway of the upright, and the difference between a highwayman and “Cartouche?” Some soothsayer thinks he is pacifying me, just for me to expose he needs stripes! A fat Nazi? I’m ready to strap you to pole and put a scorpion to your ear. It’s like me poking the WHITE of thy eye! Some fat neo-Nazi! Do you have hypothermia, because the scum of pharaoh’s brain would expose Albert Pike. What DOG HAIR!!!

People get “scared” when I made, essentially, Ra my pet and by the pet I am beheading apep. Apep was said to come from the umbilical cord of Ra, and it’s a serpent that the Greeks translated to Python! I would say people are coming to New York State, by their mother land, and I need to cut the cord! Ancient Egypt can conquer where they come from by the called taweret and the gods called anubis, what happens in demoralization, the god called osiris, so now you understand umbilical cord and “nation” that isn’t greater than the personification of serekh and cartouche. The highwayman would be personified by card, and government has deployed its “policy enforcers” (police). Now, people would see the god called Apollo, just to ponder theater and immigration that amounts to invaders. You would see a woman I can run to, and now I am personifying fear and being in a land not yours. You are with a negro? Who is fleeing NY? I would personify chaff, a grandma that isn’t nothing, and the little boy wants me to mirror him. Little boy! The little boy is calling me bad/evil when I want to eat pussy, and as I am eating pussy the woman calls “grandma” just to go back to the other one last time to not touch him after she gave herself away, as I am oppressed. Mirror me and understand being put to death in law, my past anger, JOHNNY’S BOON! “I can make my own decisions”, and the old me would pitch a fit verses get in that pussy, have this dick molded in that ass as she is on her belly, on the phone, acting like she is “for good.” What is a trap as I am desperate? My cynicism would expose that sex with me isn’t ease and pleasure, and you don’t know what happened of Praxiona. Ragtime would expose language and hair, and now you can understand that suit and a people I don’t want to be! “What a collectivization”, fuck yea! I know who, what, I don’t want to be like. By the LORD’s Release, seven years, can you understand evil eye, and by slaves you can understand seven years, women, and material that doesn’t amount to shelter. What is benevolence? Shelter would personify a cover, and I would go out my way to personify blackmail because I am not a slave. Now, silence is as Egypt is Egypt. What is a Cleopatra Needle, and a sacred carving that amounts to abominations?! My God would be my light, my sun, and by nature can you see people make my guardians into gods! Gods being taken away would melt the heart, like fire to the flame, and now you see the yoke! My heart longs for the God of Jeshurun, for I do not worship nature! Zero point would show why I am as I am, who I am better than, and now you see people resisting me and I am getting juice from them. How does it feel to be an idiot if you are private or not? Now, they want to join the military? When you understand a ball sucker, a woman who needs demoralization to feel better about what she does (as it isn’t about love), you can come to see the opportunist who would submit themselves to the bourgeoisie who just SITS! Have you ever seen a sedentary proletariat? Is that ok? What is blackmail, and a people who want to sit on a log with negro’s who do race betrayal? To personify Saturn and Jupiter’s seat by faggots on fire, s’mores, and the log. I would see their “clan rally” just to make it about Ancient Egypt and Great House, now I would personify hands just to too personify a shotgun to the head and lack of money! Is it funny? People you thought were tough as Neo-Nazi’s, are now stripped naked. “This isn’t Boy Scouts”, hell na, you need the money!!!

I’d go back to zero point, where the x,y, has no dots or lines that cuts lines that personify the graph, and now you can understand my guardians and my separation from that coon. The coon would want to be White, or be, as that suit is, and I don’t want to be that coon. I have seen tawny get in pictures with foreign officials with flip flops, and they call themselves government officials. Coons would not amount to the tawny I just spoke of, so why is that Darky wearing a suit after he gets information? “Money, stigma”, what is a coon shouter and blackface performer? The wadjet eye personifies the five senses, so in the LORD’s Release can you understand Evil Eye. What is hasting to be rich, and a raccoon that doesn’t amount to a pirate? Go take someone hostage and get booty, just for the government to prove to be incompetent, YOU PIRATE. And now you understand Ernest Hogan mutilating corpses in his death, by race betrayal! A stereotype would be made, “anyone with blue gums don’t work”, and now Jim Crow, Jim Cuff, Uncle Joe, is making the mould as a den of jackals personified itself by ragtime and law that amounted to lynching. Ragtime and guns? I would give you a picture, just for you to know a slave had gun rights if his master let it - and a dog tag was a dog tag. Now, the military would be, and by unclean laws, the wise guy, you see slavery is about food, water, and clothing, not shelter, just for you to consider a “hut.” What is a TP? People would see animal hide has been replaced by toilet paper, and now people doubt communist due to energy and toilet paper. Bernie Sanders would be all for criminal reform and a mixed police that caters to the Negro and his safety, as I would expose AOC and her attack against the Kulak. She would be all for unions, and the union puts a company under yoke and now pouring coffee has what was made for steam mills, warehouses, education, and construction workers. You would see reform, and it’s means to bring in communism. Some latinx woman and kike with agenda, and Joe Biden’s life support is Kamala Harris. When you understand my action, and an act that isn’t going to help you right now least you be blemished or elderly, you can understand a Fuckface selling you out just to hide it by “cut.” What are you waiting for? The Kulak, the bourgeoisie, and politicians are all standing together, they only yearn cuts as they are subservient to Kikes. I would know senses, and by it I can separate myself from pan-Africanist just for the nation to be personified by catering to issue and separation, flowers coming upon a woman and expiring, soap/oil that amounts to “wash me with hyssop.” I would have a nation that personifies itself by action, and in action.. theater would personify hygiene, as psalms would personify serving God and waiting for him as water is water. Water would personify clean and unclean, and by the broken and contrite heart would you see a holy nation. The act of making people look smart would personify my genius, and now some sponge is claiming himself as “first” as no King of Yisrael/Judah, or pharaoh, personified himself by two, five, ten video’s and a brothel that does nothing but expose the god called taweret and the god called anubis - as my God would “take away” the gods! Apep would be chaos, and by chaos do people resist chaos. I am now exposing OATH TO THE DOG!

You would notice geographic, skin, nose, lips, and now a collection would expose Stalinism. What is needed for advancement, least go under? The Fugees, “ready or not, here I come, you can’t hide”, made Haitians look better to the masses, before them people thought that Haitians were filth and good for nothing. So, in the stigma I would too show to the wrong woman “dog” is filthy. “You dog”, and it doesn’t amount to Alexander the Great, but hoodlum.. I would know market, economy, and by scripture that has to be seen by the keen eye, with science (know), I can know the carpenter while too knowing the builder as blueprint is blueprint. The cancel of debt would be, the oath to the dog would be, and now fiat money is being converted to coin as digital records is digital records - and they would apply to whole sale and the rounding of whole sale! A backing of silver would be by gold and opium, and by women’s health (hygiene) comes a flow of currency as the “backed silver” and “gold” is means to give out loan and personify the oath to the dog and the LORD’s Release. Don’t you detest evil eye, and you are supposed to be in the land by law that establishes a sponge and first? I would have to divide myself from Pan-Africanism, and now you are ready to show evil eye to the beggar who won’t find a way to pick up percussion instrument and change the beg to a charming of vipers. People would be as vipers, closing ear to good reason to where they need charmers. The poison would be wine, and they are ready to bite just so their “bite” would personify the RUNAWAY! Greek Culture would expose the barbarian, and in my God can you see wisdom (she calls from the city square and street corners). Corpulent ultimately is body, and hygiene amounts to healthy. You would have stigma, stereotypes, and a geographic can make you give evil eye just in senses being senses. You would see a people, and their features would describe the geographic they are from, and now because of intelligence (or lack thereof) you see a person and are ready to give evil eye. You are ready to see them, and form stereotypes, just to ultimately make things about money. The geographic would expose a people who who can “pay you back”, and the phrase would have ultimate levels. The ultimate levels amount to someone being able to hit you back, or give you a return that enables your bank. “Pay back” is just that, pay back, and now you see what amounts to what. “Pay it forward.” What!?

“Instant relief”, you squatting? So now, the lumpish would not be able to squat, as a “carpenter” would consider women and give a step for the toilet. Now, the soles are elevated, and it isn’t Donald Trump’s head but an old man sitting on a throne. You would see the picture of squatting, a potty, just to see these peoples who eat up shit from these politicians who enable the sedentary bourgeois. Donald Trump. Imagine Neo-Nazi’s wanting Donald Trump. He is a sedentary bourgeois who plays golf 😂. The sedentary bourgeois would see my enablement, and not care until he sees he can be condemned. The sedentary bourgeois would sit his seat, just to show he isn’t a scholar. His scholarship amounts to his business, and all he does is look to keep doors open as he/she is yoked by sin! The sedentary bourgeois sits his seat, and hears information just to be ready to write/sell books! The people buying his book would look to be just like him, verses sharing wisdom. “I am not utilizing social media to share information, you have to pay me”, WHAT!? So now, you are writing books, as you are damn near Mussolini on social media with your short scoundrel “signs?” You have lost your mind! Do you delight in wisdom? Now, you see Donald Trump just to be amazed in the revelation, Donald Trump was sending “mean tweets” and now he wants to be like the 10 Plagues of Egypt that manifested the 10 Commandments - you haven’t seen a Donald Trump on Twitter before or after him (he wants it to stay this way) - you haven’t seen the plagues of Egypt as they were in Egypt before or after them. “I’m the best tweeter.” I would personify my God, “my people”, just to know the carpenter who could start “giving out” steps for the toilet and they do nothing but personify a blueprint.. and a blueprint is not a book, a blueprint is not from a bluegum. I would not be a Brillo Pad Bluegum talking hot air, Saturn, just reminiscing on the past, FACTS, as people would see gums that are not pink and that is the STIGMA. “You are making people against you look smart”, I have to, because I am not White. If I just went out and looked to make people look stupid, I would go mad and lose myself! “ I’m WHYTE”, and banana’s dance. I am utilizing the action of making my enemies look extremely smart, just to be able to personify a false pretense! I am not that negro with Greek foot saying, “I can be gay”, and I am not a Black Brute saying, “I fuck man bootyhole”, but rather I am personify my hands, and now you can understand the god called Ptah. Metal would show prominence, and now you can understand a train ride as well as population control! Imagine people working to their death, they do the work and are put in a pit, and imagine incompetent people telling me to get with an idiot who can’t fathom I will be the same in money and there isn’t anymore I need to do (people are not that smart, and now I’m personifying idiot just to expose Jimmy Dean). A geographic would be, and people even see White Trash as gods/goddesses, as wedjet eye is the senses. “We are called spicks”, and you are doing nothing about the rat problem in NY. Crisis? So much for SPICK AND SPAN! Ra would cut the head of apep, and his head was said to be made of flint. Do you understand a fire, and a car!?

Look at it.. the geographic would condemn the individual, and the Kulak only considers himself. So, what is me doing race betrayal just to wash myself with the finest soaps, douse myself with the most plush of oils? The stigma would be a stigma, and the continent of Africa would be just that. Oppression would make me personify “wash me”, and now I would have incenses burning on high hills and high places, just for the wind, East wind, to personify itself. Rule would come about, and with products for women a soap would be personified by myrrh and frankincense, and now the Egyptians added and added on to their rituals - I would personify stigma change by culture! Stigma would be, and I would make Egyptology just to not be Ernest Hogan, and by the oath to the dog you can see the sorceress and the boon produced by the god called eros. People would hear of law, and they are ignorant of it! The woman I can run to, if I just got mad and got angry, enabling someone to say my panties are in a knot, I could still get her! Now, you see the woman I can run to, and the dog shaven butt face - I can pitch a fit to the woman I can run to.. as others without hair on the face can pitch a fit and get away with it. They have three strikes if there is a superior that gets offended. Is the Thalia mask you standing like a little boy, with both hands in the pocket? “You have to add a weird smile too, Kevin”, oh ok, that wolf. Dog shaven butt face would pitch a fit, and put both hands in the pocket to show that he isn’t going to hurt anyone with hands.. and because the wolf is “cutthroat” you have the contrast of BLACK BRUTE - by “idiot” you see what’s coming! The wolf puts on his sheep’s clothing and is a lie, he stands with Kikes because of Hitler and Yacob conning/stealing Esau’s birthright and blessing! What is a fraud? You would see a people mesh with a fraud, and I am personifying I am not a Bounty Bar (a joke for the Queen) - by “Egypt is my people” the sock and boot (buskins) would show advancement in “theater” as infamia is infamia. I would know what a person is, who people are, and by action you see people’s act’s that is only a mask. To comfort the mask, I would have dialect and vocabulary that personifies my cynicism - and now people act like they do for the greater good! How long must you act as a god/goddess, to try to convey that you are for good!? “Kevin, you have been performing”, I know. My mama doesn’t know this me. Now people are ready to worship the LORD’s Glory, the sun.

Neo CreaTures

Hello and welcome to my first ever collab call to celebrate me hitting a huge follower milestone! This is dedicated to everyone who loves the supernatural – like me – and enjoys writing a little more interesting creatures than just vampires and werewolves – which of course are still lovely. Under the cut you’ll find a list of awesome creatures to turn our favorite boys into – or even the reader if that’s the route you want to go. Our main theme is it to have some fun and post a variety of different spooky or not so spooky fics throughout October to spread our love for the supernatural. To claim a spot, simply dm me @raibebe your member and creature of choice and I’ll add you to this post as long as the spot is still up for claim.

Reblogs are appreciated even if you chose to not enter the collab to reach a wider audience!

rules

As always: First come, first serve

The fic has to be about the chosen member, meaning he is supposed to be the main character, you’re of course allowed to add in as many of the others as you want

You can bend the lore/appearance of your creature of choice how you may seem fit. Just don’t start telling me dwarfs turn into wolves every full moon.

Deadline is October 31st 2021

Minimum word count is 2k. This should be doable, it’s a lot of time until October. If you choose to write it in multiple parts, just send me the part you want to have linked on the masterlist.

No timestamps/drabbles, bullet points, social media AUs or reactions. Fics. That’s it.

Open to all genres, it doesn’t have to be horror or gory but I would love to read some darker pieces that are perfect for the season

If you want to include smut in your work, you have to be of age. No exceptions.

Even though all NCT members are of age, please refrain from writing smut for Jisung, Chenle and Sungchang, since otherwise Jisung will call the police on us.

Tag your work accordingly if you have potentially triggering stuff in it. When in doubt – you should probably tag it. But you can always ask which brings me to the next point:

Joining the discord is not mandatory but I’d encourage you to because it’s a great way to get to know your fellow writers and maybe ask for advice or just to chat about our boys.

That’s also where I’ll post announcements and stuff

Please tell me if you’re changing URLs or want to step out of the collab or can’t meet the deadline, which is both fine and can be negotiated

Please reblog this post after getting accepted so we can reach a wider audience.

For further questions just dm me!

7. identity

The aesthetic of suffering, the allure of victimhood, it’s important to acknowledge that to many people, the idea of struggling with mental illness is hot. A common trope in teen dramas is the existence of the sexy bad boy haunted by demons of depression or addiction or some other psychological malady. Women with mental illness tend to be sexualised, less, but then again, women are most typically always sexualised, no matter the state of their mental health. But it’s not just a case of some people finding mental illness to be attractive in others, many see mental illness in themselves as something to take pride in, to celebrate and nurture. To seek out a diagnosis, to infiltrate communities that exist to provide support to those in need, and to declare themselves as being special. Fakers, you could call them. Yes, we’re going to be entering into dangerous grounds here, talking about a potentially incendiary topic that might feed the flames of controversy, but it’s a topic worth discussing. Self-diagnosis. Is self-diagnosis valid or not? Should one self-diagnose? Is it ableism to be against self-diagnosis? Is it ableism to be for self-diagnosis? Is it ableism itself ableist? I don’t know, sweetheart, you are asking a whole bunch of questions and I am hungover… But let’s go on rambling about what it means to be labelled neurodivergent.

Do you have an identity? Do you root for a particular sports team? Do you like a particular kind of music? Do you dance a lot? Are you a dancer? What are you? Simply stating that you’re just “a human” probably won’t do. Sure, it’s correct, but I am also a human, and we could be two very different kinds of people. Your identity should be that certain something that makes you stand apart from the rest, that distinguishes you from the squirming mass of flesh that is the whole of humanity. There are plenty of things about you that do figure in your identity, even though you wish it didn’t. You’re black, you don’t wish to always be “that black guy over there,” but you’ve come to realise that’s just how society views you. Maybe you are a transwoman, and you very eagerly want your friend to stop introducing you as her “trans bestie.” You’re just a woman, you don’t need her to keep labelling you as trans, even though that's what you are. There are many ways we can change our identity through direct personal action. Maybe you could start wearing a hat, and be known as “that hat guy” to the people you work with. Maybe you could embrace a punk aesthetic, looking like young Johnny Rotten stepped into a time machine and got transported to the current day. Actions like these can have a big or small impact on how others see you, but it feels good to be able to make a decision like that and get a response. This is me, this is what I am. I’m the guy who wears bow-ties, don’t I look cool? If only shaping your sense of self always came down to personal decisions like that. You don’t always have a choice.

I’ve lately been watching some Conan O’Brien (American TV talk show host who’s recently decided not to be a TV talk show host) clips. I am sure I don’t need to explain who Conan O’Brien is to my readers, but just in case this is being read by aliens ten-thousand years from now, what I can tell you is that Conan O’Brien is well known for being freakishly tall. Like, really tall. He’s an elongated leprechaun. He’s turned being tall into one of his trademarks. Like many comedians, he’s come to use his corporeal form as a source for levity and fun. While, naturally, the man did not choose to grow as tall as he did, he’s come around to use his height not as a hindrance to success, but rather as an asset. He’s “that tall irish guy on the TV,” and he’s been that person for nearly thirty years. It pays to have some distinguishing feature if you wish to be distinguished. Mr. Joe Average might be perfectly funny and charming, but being an average-looking guy can be wholly detrimental in making a career for yourself as a funnyman. At least get yourself some weird voice, or something. Maybe pretend to be some foreigner and put on a fake accent. As a comedian your job is to be exploited, you wish to be made into a commodity to be sold. People will want to watch your special because of that funny face you pull in the thumbnail. To be different can be financially lucrative.

What’s the best approach in turning something that could be perceived as an abnormal feature into something that is beneficial to you? To make jokes about it? Certainly, if I were to meet a man with a heavily scarred face, I feel there’d likely be a tension between me and him that could be dispelled if that man with the heavily scarred face made some little joke about his appearance, some little quip. “I’m sorry, I cut myself shaving this morning,” would do. The person isn’t obliged to justify his existence to me, he does not have to go out of his way to make me feel less uncomfortable. I am the one in the wrong, certainly. I shouldn’t look at a person with a heavily scarred face and feel uncomfortable, that’s me letting prejudices get in the way, I know that. But, it is what it is. If you’re looking for a practical solution, telling people to simply get over themselves and learn to not be so awkward around folks with physical deformities won’t do. It may be the right thing, but it’s not going to happen any time soon. I am sure that the man with the heavily scarred face isn’t interested in being defined by his heavily scarred face. He's probably sick and tired of that little joke, and wish he didn’t have to make it. But it does the job. Suddenly, you are not looking at something to be feared, the other, you are looking at a person, and someone with a sense of humour. The importance of humour in eradicating stigma, making it possible for the ostracised to enter in society, cannot be understated. Through humour, you can convince most everyone that you are someone worthy of inclusion, because… well, you’re just a funny guy, who doesn’t wanna hang out with you?

For those who have grown up not feeling normal, worrying that there are aspects of your character that others may perceive as unwanted, the yearning to be liked can at times become excruciating. I like to consider myself a funny person, while this blog isn’t intended to be a humorous one, occasionally small little jokes will squirm their way to the top, like worms coming up to the surface during a rainstorm. I am also a cartoonist, and produce a new cartoon every other day. My humour isn’t universal, no good humour ever is universal, but it’s done good in getting some folks to like me. Some people want to be admired, some people want to be feared. I only want to be liked. The one thing I absolutely do not want to be is pitied. I don’t want your pity, I fear your pity.

You’re probably familiar with The Sims, right? It’s a life simulation game, where you control a little digital human, known as a sim, and try to help them make the right decision through life. Each sim has a number of meters that measures their current needs. Hunger, hygiene, energy, if they need to urinate or defecate (though, frankly, the distinction between the two isn’t made in the game, so one can assume that sims are like birds and have just one cloaca that does both,) and so on. One of these meters is for social activities. If a sim hasn’t been social in a while, they go nutty. What’s interesting here, the reason why I bring it up, is that in real life, though we all (to a lesser or greater degree) crave to socialise with others, what kind of socialising you do is of a very big importance. There are a myriad of ways in which one can be social, and depending on your needs at the time, one kind of socialising may not do, whereas another kind of socialising may be just what you need. Do you want to hang out with your pals, cracking jokes and maybe drinking a couple of beers? Do you want to have a serious conversation with your partner about what you wish to accomplish together? Do you want to play with your dog? These different social situations scratch different parts of your mind, and you can’t just substitute one for the other and think that’s all alright. A person may have tonnes of friends, lots of buddies to spend their time with, but they may still desperately be yearning for another kind of social interaction, one that none of their friends can deliver. The human need for company is more complex than how it is depicted in The Sims… which, to be fair, probably shocks nobody. The Sims doesn’t pretend that it’s some highly realistic simulation of real life, it’s a game meant to be played for fun. But what’s important here is the fact that while humans do have a need to be social, how that need is fed changes dramatically on the person, and their conditions. Socialising that may bring comfort to one person, may bring discomfort to another person.

I don’t want you to pity me. I may list my diagnoses, I may tell you of the difficulties that I face in life, but I do not want you to feel sorry for me. I want you to be entertained reading this, I don’t want to make you weep thinking about how cruel life can be. I don’t want you thinking I’m special, or different, because of my diagnoses. I want you to think I’m special and different because of my writing. Sure, this blog is about living with autism spectrum disorder, but I don’t want you reading this blog just because it’s about autism spectrum disorder. I want you to read this because, while it is about a diagnosis you are interested in learning more about, you also find what I write to be well-written and at times, mildly humorous. This blog isn’t my rabid manifesto detailing all the ways my life sucks, and what must be done by society to appease me. Nah, I’m doing relatively fine, don’t feel bad for me, please. I don’t want that kind of attention. I do want attention, I won’t lie and tell you that I don’t have an ego, or that I don’t get pleased seeing people like the things I put out there. I do have a social need, it’s just that being pitied does not do it for me. It doesn’t make me feel good. It makes me feel bad. It makes me feel sad. It really makes me feel mad.

We’re finally getting around to the topic I promised I would discuss. Self-diagnosis. A principal concern people have with self-diagnosis is that people only self-diagnose in order to receive pity from others. The difference between someone like me, who’s got a proper official diagnosis, and someone who is self-diagnosed, is that I don’t want your pity. I don’t want you to fetishise my diagnosis, this thing about me that I did not choose to be. I don’t want special favours just because of my diagnosis, I don’t want to be known as “that cartoonist with autism.” I am autistic, I’ve come to accept that, but I don’t want anyone to introduce me as “their friend who’s on the spectrum.” Some may accuse me of self-loathing, treating being autistic like some bad thing that I am ashamed of. But that’s not it. After all, I did start this blog to discuss what it is like. I just don’t want to be defined by this certain something that lies outside of my control. I don’t want it to be my “thing.” I don’t mind being referred to as a hairy cartoonist, because I am pretty hairy. I don’t want to cut my hair any time soon (especially with this plague going around.) No-one would pity me just because I am hairy. At most they may regard me as a good-for-nothing beatnik, and I’m okay with that. Ideally, I still want to be liked, but anything is better than being pitied. To be pitied is to be robbed of your own agency, your own potential. Sure, it gets you that attention you may be craving, but at the cost of infantilization. Autistic people often struggle with being infantilized by society, to the point where some folks don’t even realise that there are autistic grown-ups in the world. Anyone who would voluntarily seek out a diagnosis just to be pitied, well… it doesn’t sit right with me. It makes me, quite frankly, feel demoralised.

But not all people self-diagnose just to get pity from others, right? For some it’s genuinely their only option, likely living in a barely-functioning country like the United States where receiving psychiatric care is expensive and it’s just not something they can afford. It’s unfair of me to phrase self-diagnosing as just a quest to receive pity, it’s way more complicated than that. And yes, I’d have to agree. To know all the reasons why a person may self-diagnose, you have to go personally ask them. Even if it is possible to highlight a few certain trends, things that they all have in common, it’s bound to be impossible to make this one sweeping generalisation to explain everything. All I am saying is that there absolutely are those people who do self-diagnose with the explicit goal of getting pitied. Whether they are knowingly faking their condition or not, to them, being pigeonholed as a person with autism isn’t at all a negative. It’s their identity. It is how they have chosen to let the world see them. They made a choice. They chose this label. This is why many people who have official diagnoses are sceptical of those who've only got a self-diagnosis. Whether your self-diagnosis is accurate or not, in the end, you chose to identify yourself with it. You made a decision, oblivious of the fact that many people don’t get to make that kind of a decision, and they may bear resentment for how you are turning something they’ve faced ostracization for, into what is potentially on the same level as listening to a certain kind of music, or being a supporter of a sports team. A diagnosis is not something you should choose to have.

There are other things to say about self-diagnosis. First of all, it can be dangerous. Some of the diagnoses I’ve seen people give themselves are really serious, things like personality disorders or psychosis. Psychiatrists are very careful when putting these kinds of labels on people, knowing the harm that it can do. A diagnosis is meant to only be given after careful deliberation, and after long conversations with the patient. Psychiatrists know that reducing a person to a set of symptoms can have detrimental effects to that person’s sense of self. If you’re trying to cling on to a diagnosis, seeing it as a major part of your identity, then that may hamper any attempts you make to become a better person, to improve your mental health. You will feel as if you need to correspond to the exact specifications of the disorder, and you will not allow yourself to grow naturally as a complicated human being, a human being whose internal life is far too vast to be fully rounded up with some psychiatric jargon. There are plenty of things about me that do not line up with the diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder, and guess what, that’s quite good actually. It doesn’t mean that I don’t have autism, I very much do, but I realise that as a person, I am more than just my diagnosis. The diagnosis does not define me, I define the diagnosis. If you self-diagnose, do you comprehend all that you are getting yourself into? Are you going to find yourself in psychological traps that will only serve to worsen your mental health? It’s hard to look at yourself objectively, you could easily be misrepresenting yourself inside your own mind. You may effectively be locking parts of yourself away, making it so you are no longer able to see the full you. You will no longer be all there, you will be segmented in favour of upholding the defining marks of a diagnosis that doesn’t suit you.

Instead of self-diagnosing, try doing a self-assessment. Keep in mind that, while you may have this diagnosis, it’s too early to say for sure. You’re going to need somebody else’s input. You’ll need to sit with it for a while to see if it sticks. Keep an open mind, realise that there’s no easy way to explain exactly who you are, or what you are like. It’s very possible that you will come to realise that you are in fact autistic, or have whatever other diagnosis you may suspect describes you. I, after all, came to the conclusion that I was autistic before I got the diagnosis (though, I was going to therapy at that point, and I was on the way to undergo a neuropsychiatric evaluation.) It’s not bad to try and get to understand yourself, don’t come out of this thinking that self-reflection is only possible with a psychiatrist looming over you, telling you how to think about things. We all need to come to certain conclusions over how we self-identify, and sometimes you need to take mental leaps to explain certain things. Just don’t feel as if your best option is to put a label on yourself that can potentially negatively affect your psychological well-being. If you are truly searching for understanding, if your goal is to find out more about yourself, you should act with caution and concern for what you are doing. If all you are looking for is to have people pity you, then… well… I don’t know what to say, really…

[ mirror, mirror ]

yandere! demon! johnny joestar x ghost-hunter! reader. modern au. headcanons and scenario inspired by buzzfeed unsolved.

› collab with: @lafirmament​. › warnings: religious and anti-religious themes, demons and supernatural shenanigans, possession. › art credit: 4156948.

— Such a pretty little thing, face scrunched in fear and screams echoing through the haunted buildings you insist on dragging him to. A renowned ghost hunter despite your renown as a scaredy cat, and yet you’re one of the bravest humans he’s ever laid eyes on. You’ll wander the halls with the eyes of a priest who’s been told their God is far from real, and yet, you’ll utter prayers and carry holy water as a last resort. Your naivete is the only thing keeping him from offing you for his own pleasure, really. What an interesting little human you are, what an interesting little pet.

— Your forays into haunted areas is a silly endeavor considering the greatest threat to your life is right beside you, masquerading as a best friend rather than a predator. Initially, he’d been meaning to have you as a snack — feed off your life force, as you’d once explained demons are capable of doing — but you make for a good play thing. It’s not often he finds a human who makes him chuckle with delight at every twist and turn, especially one so enamored by the supernatural that they’d venture into the very thing they hate most.

— As a human, it’s no secret he was crippled. A fact he hates to remember more than anything, he refuses to allow himself the same fate in the afterlife. Who the hell would be scared of a crippled demon anyway? When he takes trips to the human realm, he’s more than happy to possess some random asshole he finds on the street. Of course, when he met you, he more or less doomed himself to forever possess the body you met him in. Thankfully, glamour is a thing and he can make you and others see him as whatever he views fit. He wasn’t terrible looking when he was mortal, so he’s fine with making this body more or less look like him.

— He likes listening to you speak. Your voice is pretty when you get excited, high-pitched with stars in your eyes. You’re so keen on telling him all these interesting stories about spirits and ghouls and... demons. Your tales are amusing considering some are so far-fetched he can’t help but laugh. Perhaps you’re simply biased, because for reasons beyond him, you hate demons in particular. The thought of being terrorized by one is one of your greatest fears, he’s come to learn, though it would wound him if he didn’t like that about you in the first place. He wonders how you’ll react when he reveals his true nature to you, if you don’t die of a heart attack by then. Will you scream just how he likes it? Pass out? Bring out that phony holy water and shoddy cross as if they’ll protect you from anything? The curiosity all but kills him all over again, but he likes you too much to cut the fun short so soon.

— Those sounds you swore you heard, or that breeze or tap you swore you felt? He takes pride in these little pranks of his if only to see you cuddle into yourself and shriek for the entire building to hear. Luckily, there’s no one else besides you two. Your screams are fairly useless, but he doesn’t plan to do anything sketchy yet. It’s why he scares off the poltergeists who want to hurt you when you bring out that funny little... spirit box of yours. Of all Seven Hells, he hates that thing with a passion. It has a sound frequency that seems to draw spirits in and demons away; he’d rather you get rid of the thing entirely, but you keep it around because it’s ‘top of the line technology’ and you always ‘hear spirits talking to you through it’, even if it’s only when johnny isn’t accompanying you.

— And funnily enough, it is because you attract them — through your evident fear and pleasant screams, that is what they are naturally drawn to out of pure curiosity. You don’t realize this urgent fact, simply because Johnny makes sure you don’t catch onto it lest you don’t go feigning bursts of confidence. He loves it when you’re terrified shitless, and if you weren’t such amusing company, he’d terrorize you far worse than your wildest fears. It’s easy to pick your worst fears apart from the things you can tolerate — you’re awfully open with him. He shouldn’t be surprised, you did say he’s your best friend.

— His true intentions are unclear. What he feels for you is far from love, borderline obsession and curiosity above all else. Your companionship is nothing short of amusing and your reactions all the more alluring; he could easily off you, but you’re his for the taking. Demons are awfully possessive with their prey, completely incapable of mercy, sympathy, or love. If he senses any dangers from other spirits, he wards them off, the task easy enough given how highly he ranks in the Underworld. He’s a force to be reckoned with, a force that the lower-level spirits you encounter have no chance again. It’s fun watching them play around with you, sure, but he’s always close-by, watching, protecting what’s his.

“J-Johnny!”

He rolls his eyes, feeling your timid hands clutch his jacket — as if he’d save you. At this point, you should know how much joy he elicits from seeing you nearly piss yourself and scream at what he calls “nothing”. Seeing you now, he wonders what you’d do if he told you ghosts and demons really do exist. Coming from him of all people, you’d be shocked, but you’re so gullible and trusting that you’d believe his words in a heartbeat. The incessant teasing he’d have to endure afterwards is the only thing stopping him, though.

“There’s nothin’ there, pussy.” He snorts, glaring into the abyssal darkness of the hallway you just rushed from. Shadows flicker a few meters away as if scared by his presence. “I don’t see anythin’,” he snickers, enjoying the power he has over those shit-brained lesser demons. No one would dare touch you when he’s around. As animalistic as humans view demons, the system is more like a hierarchy ruled by position and fear. He’s by no means a hotshot in the demon realm, but he’s well-known enough to not attract unwanted attention from weaker spirits. That courtesy extends to you, for better or worse.

“There was!” You scan the darkness as if expecting to see something, balking when nothing shifts as it just had. The sudden silence  has you feeling like you’re being mocked. “I-I’m certain of it! I t-thought I heard a voice, so I used the spirit box and...” teeth dig into your bottom lip, a habit to stop you from screaming too much. “I think someone’s trying to talk to me, Johnny!” The prospect both excites and terrifies you, he can tell that much.

“Yea, and? What could they possibly got to say to you?” He shoots a glare down the hall, daring whatever cocky spirit  you’re talking about to man up and approach you again. “’Save me’? Some shit like that? As if they ain’t already dead. Yer the last person I’d ask, anyway.”

You scoff and push him away, furious that your first instinct was to cling to him of all people. Considering how he gets a good laugh outta your fear, you’d sooner cling to a random mannequin in the halls than this asshole. “It wouldn’t kill you to be nice to me sometimes, Johnny.”

A laugh sputters past his mouth. “Yeah guess you’re right.” Can’t kill what’s already dead, so you ain’t wrong. Unfortunately, a lot of his witty one-liners would blow his cover, especially since you already joke about him being a demon in disguise. “Still ain’t gonna do it, though.”

“Asshole.”

“Pussy.” He returns your scowl with a shit-eating grin and a light push against your back. “Well? Git goin’, you came back before the timer went off y’know. Or are you too much of a wimp?”

There’s that habit of yours again, chewing your lip when you’re nervous. He knows you’d rather cling to the title of ‘wimp’ or ‘pussy’ at this point, but your pride is far too big for that little mortal body of yours. You won’t back down, not after you came running all the way back here just to cling to him.

“F-fine!”

You’re already off down the hall before he can tease you some more. S’alright though, no one’s gonna bother you this time. No one but him, anyway. He’ll make sure of it.

A self-insert/oc-insert as Macaque from Monkie Kid. (SIM AU)

Now here me out, SI's and OC-Is are a pretty old trope right? But they've always been a pretty interesting and comforting one to me, especially those that move from our current modern world to a fantasy/sci-fi/historical one. Worlds so vastly different that you can't help but react and see them with fresh eyes, modern lenses.

Plus meme, angst and awesomeness potential (from a world that developed differently and its multitude of cultures).

____________________________________

"I am the last living testament to a world that doesn't exist anymore. And if it does, it is forever out of my reach."

The SI gets born from a stone (i.e. Sun Wukong's origins) over 500 years in the past.

The setting of Monkie Kid is a cultivation world turned modern as time progresses, but at the time of his birth, it was absolutely just a cultivation fantasy.

In most cultivation settings, there are 2 sides: the righteous cultivators and the demonic cultivators.

Generally these are considered the good and the bad sides respectively

Demons are immediately slotted under the demonic side of course.

And well, we all know what Macaque is.

In some novels, demonic cultivation was pretty nasty, human sacrifices, blood, pain ect. Others were just literally cultivation than demon practitioners did.

My setting has a bit of both, the nasty evil stuff and the lesser know similar to regular cultivation practices that are slower than the nasty stuff but still work well.

FYI, even the lawful practitioners in cultivation could be pretty bad, so I'm including that to let them know they have no leg to stand on when throwing stones at my Macaque's cultivation. (Like they can't stop him, he's not doing anything evil)

He was constantly compared to his mother in his past life, from the similarity of his features to his abilities, so this Macaque intensely hates being compared to Sun Wukong.

He shares some abilities with the canon version of Macaque: enhanced strength and speed, jumping ability,  shadow clones (lol), martial arts master and pole fighting mastery

Some distinct differences would be his ability to heal, pass on chi and deflect blows (think Kung Fu Panda) and his enhanced shadow abilities (think Nara clan from Naruto, Johnny 13's Shadow from Danny Phantom and possibly more, because the media has a lot of shadow abilities) and possibly more chi abilities ( there are a whole bunch to cherry pick and adapt from in the media), incredible hearing (near omnipotent hearing from legend, but idk. )

He'll have to have some weaknesses of course, but damned if I know what they are at this stage of planning

He won't have an easy time of it of course

In his initial state, he is almost pathetically weak

I mean, 21st century person thrown over 500 years into a fantastical past (yeah, I'm throwing him even further back than he thinks), with no means of acquiring food, water or shelter. He doesn't know anything about cultivation either aside from the vague notion there are stages, you have to form a golden core at some point and that there is retribution lightning that can kill you as you progress.

Also, he's now an anthropomorphic monkey in a legend where he's supposed to cause trouble, mess with Sun Wukong by impersonating him and then summarily gets discovered and his ass kicked, with a possible chance of death.

Yeah, he's not having fun with this.

He'll learn in time though.

He'll grow stronger as time passes and with training, and either forgets or is deliberately in denial about the Journey to the West

I feel like making him gain immortality like Sun Wukong, although, instead of it being deliberate, he gets it by accident and through tragedy/hardship? I mean, throw the guy a bone when he gets dunked on y'know?

Aaaand that's about all I got for now. I'll make a part 2 about him in the modern Monkey Kid time as well. Pretty interested in this idea tbh. Let's see how it goes.

𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐉𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬

A very specific post for people who like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and vedic astrology (assuming such people exist). After all, Tumblr is the place for very specific stuff, like Marquis de Sade memes.

Now let's get to the point.

Sun ☉

Giorno, DIO, Diego Brando, Jonathan

All of them are natural leaders who hate being bossed around. All of them crave power (except, maybe, Jonathan), though for different reasons. Having lots of pride, Diego and Dio take their hatred of humiliation to extreme levels, desiring to rule the whole world in order to be treated like gods, and finally erase their underprivileged pasts. They are also very narcissistic and put themselves above everyone else except their moms.

Jonathan and Giorno represent the holy side of the sun. Giorno shares with his father the same pride and deep hatred of humiliation, though he wants to be the king of his own world so no else will be humiliated like he was. Like the sun that share its light to all beings, Giorno and Jonathan love justice and treat everyone equally, punishing people only according to their wrongdoings and never for sadistic purposes. Both have warm and dignified manners. Jonathan is also the patriarch of the Joestars, a very solar status, given that Sun represents both fathers and authorities.

Giorno is canonically an Aries, so he has an exalted sun.

Moon ☾

Enrico Pucci, Guido Mista

Father Pucci is intelligent, passionate, devoted, attached to his kin, has a nurturing side and treats Dio's children as his own. The moon is a mirror of the sun, and Pucci is the follower of a solar figure, Dio. Also, he has a stand called C-Moon, which evolves from a baby raised by himself. No villain is more lunar than Pucci.

Mista is the faithful peer of another solar figure, Giorno. He also has a very childish stand and never forgets to feed salami to all six of them.

Mercury ☿

Josuke

Josuke is very light-hearted, youthful and witty, and can keep his cool even in the hardest moments. I don't even know his sign, but that's a pretty Gemini thing. Apart from his Peter Pan like personality, he also has a quick mind and great analytical skills.

Mars ♂

Jotaro, Jolyne, Iggy

All three of them give zero fucks to your feelings and are aggressive, athletic and action-driven. Jotaro is also a man of science and as a marine biologist, he's probably very good at math*, which is a lesser known trait of Mars.

Venus ♀

Mariah, Straizo, Shigechi, Yukako

I don't even need to explain Mariah. Straizo is very attached to his physical body and has a total aversion to the idea of becoming old, weak and ugly, which resembles the materialistic and vain side of Venus. His personality is very rajasic but at the same time cool, composed and noble, just like the vedic god of Venus, Shukra.

Shigechi is obsessed with money and Yukako is jealous and love-obsessed. Both can be taken as archetypes of the dark side of Taurus.

Jupiter ♃

Joseph Joestar

No matter how hard you try, you will never be as Sagittarian as Joseph Joestar. Joseph represents Jupiter's intense love of life and quest for thrilling experiences. Jupiter is also a planet of elevated intellect, and even though Joseph is a school dropout, his enthusiasm for literature and history can be seen through his many bookish references, from Sun Tzu to Jules Verne. Furthering your knowledge just for the sake of it and not because someone told you to is a very Jupiterian thing.

Not to mention Joseph's devilish good luck, which just can't not be Jupiter's work.

Saturn ♄

Johnny Joestar

The ultimate saturnine man, who attains wisdom through intense pain and suffering. Johnny is persistent, hardworking and resilient, still he doesn't believe himself, thanks to his cruel father and the death of his elder brother, of which Johnny feels guilty. Shame, guilt, death, a weak body, oppression, a harsh father and the weight of past experiences: all Saturnian themes permeating Johnny's life and making his sensitive soul thougher, until suffering becomes power, resulting in the liberation of mind and body. In short, Johnny's saga can be literally taken as a lesson on how Saturn works. In vedic tradition, Saturn is represented as a handicapped man (in analogy to the planet's slow moves) and is associated with the color blue; that's very easy to relate with Johnny's own physical condition and color aesthetic. Gyro describes Johnny as having "the eyes of a killer", and the vedic god Saturn is known for having a look so fierce no one dares to look at his eyes. Johnny Joestar is the incarnation of Saturn! This is going to be my headcanon from now on.

Rahu ☊

[Lunar North Node]

Funny Valentine

Power, ambition, politics and conspiracies are all under the domain of Rahu, and Valentine is among all JoJo characters the best representative of those themes. A master of deceitfulness with a one-track mind, he collects allies for purposes they can't even imagine, and that can change the fate of the entire world. It doesn't get more Rahu-ish than this.

Ketu ☋

[Lunar South Node]

Diavolo

Ketu is the shadow planet of ghosts, mysteries and everything otherworldly, which fits Diavolo perfectly: given the supernatural circumstances of his birth, we're not even sure he's a human being. Ketu is the planet of detachment, losses and disappearances, acting like a cosmic eraser; Diavolo's power is literally to erase time.

Speaking of losses and detachment, Diavolo has given up on his own identity, living as an anonymous hermit. Like Ketu, he's invisible and can be perceived only through his influence.

He was also raised in a church, which resembles Ketu's connection to the spiritual realms.

Finally, Ketu is the demon who lost its own head. That could be an accurate description of Diavolo.

*Yes, marine biology has lots of mathematics. This single piece of information ruined all my childhood dreams.

I don't know who made this Diavolo fanart but it's so pretty I just had to use it!

Review #38: The Light in the Forest

Post #42

8/4/2020

Next up is 1958′s The Light in the Forest

Enjoyment : [1]

Watching this movie feels like pissing blood. Watching it actively gave me a throbbing headache I was so furious with it. There is almost nothing enjoyable about this garbage and I actively think lesser of people who defend it. The issue is that the entire premise of the movie is racist and hateful so you can never get on board with the story unless you are also racist and hateful. The story is about a boy named True Son who was adopted by a tribe of Native Americans. Due to a treaty he is forced to return to his biological family where is then tortured and brainwashed until he finally acts ‘white enough’ for their approval. Even if True Son is ethnically white, he was raised by a loving Native family and this movie acts like none of that matters. From the first frame the moral of this movie is “The Races don’t mix, stay with your own kind” and it boils my brain to try and think why Disney thought this was ok.

Quality : [1]

The filmmaking is fine. Camera, lighting, sets, costumes, it probably would have gotten a 4 if the plot was anything other than the shit show it turned out to be. Because the writing is so unbelievably hateful this movie gets a 1. The reason this devalues the quality of the movie as a whole, is that the way scenes are structured is now fundamentally flawed. The writing tries to frame the racist white cultists as villains, but then also does nothing to refute them. The racist villains say something racist, True Son looks sad, and the film moves on like there is nothing else to be said. You can’t possibly write likable character when they are just awful from start to finish. Besides some musical stings, there is nothing behind the camera to display that these racists are wrong, if anything I think the framing supports their arguments and it ends up ruining everything.

Hold up : [0]

The second ever 0 given on this blog, and boy does this movie deserve it. I have already gone over how hateful the core premise is. A ‘respectable white family’ tries to ‘tame a savage native’ because ‘this is where he belongs!’ It is lazy, stupid and spiteful writing. However, what makes this movie truly awful is the ‘both sides!’ angle it tries to push and utterly fails at. The opening scene has the Native chieftain arguing with a British general. The Chieftain says that the British troops have been raping and killing men, women and children that were not part of any war party, to which the general snaps “Yeah but they only killed the civilians because they were scared of facing your savage warriors.” and then they just moves on like that was a fair answer to those accusations. You cannot compare the violence the Natives committed against the Pioneers to the violence the Pioneers committed against the Natives. One side was an invading army and the other was made up of civilians defending their home. Whenever a scene tries to ‘both-sides’ the argument it just sounds like “Why do the people we keep killing say they don’t want us to kill them? That’s so rude of them!” Fuck off movie this is pathetic and you know it. This movie is also truly horrible in its depiction of adoptive families. Despite the fact that True Sons Native family knew him most of his life and provided nothing but stability, the movie frames his racist, abusive biological family as his ‘true family’ since being related by blood trumps everything else. Like honestly fuck that, adopted families ARE real families regardless of race.  On a final absurd note, as if this movie couldn’t get any worse, the final conflict revolves around True Son fighting his uncle, who has been shown to not only be a racist murderer, but also an attempted rapist. And yet, True Son explicitly states he is going to fight his Uncle not because he is evil, but because “he wants to prove his is a white man and wants to earn his respect.” Yeah I am sure the respect of a monster like that is really that important to True Son. Go rot in hell Disney.

Risk : [2]

This movie is once again drenched in the sloppy discharge of American Exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny. I have already gone into detail about how horrible the ‘both-sides’ argument is since it paints the past as an inevitable conflict where the genocide of the Natives was just an unfortunate side effect. The only reason this movie doesn’t get a lower score in terms of risk, is that there WAS actually some attempt to humanize the Natives. They are shown to have complex inner lives and for the most part True Son remains steadfast in his refusal to give up his upbringing. He still ends up ‘turning white’ by the end but his determination made him the only likable character. Even though it was handled poorly, this movie actually acknowledged the existence of the Native genocide rather than painting over it like Westward Ho, The Wagons! did.

Extra Credit : [2]

There was one scene that actually was fun to watch. After True Son has been pushed around by his awful family for most of the movie, he is reunited with one of his Native cousins and it is genuinely joyful. The two wrestle and run around laughing, just happy to be in each others company. It made me smile and I hate that it didn’t lead into True Son going home to be with the family that actually loves him. If this movie had the balls to pick a side, this could have been a really wonderful moment, but spoilers: It wasn’t.

Final thoughts:

This is easily the worst movie on this list so far. Worse than the true life documentaries and worse than Peter Pan. It has been a long time since I sat through a movie that I could describe as ‘genuinely hateful.’ You get the feeling that the people who made this movie actually hated Native Americans and set out to intentionally demonize another race. I didn’t even get around to talking about the bland love interest who ‘fixes’ True Son with love because as we all know the best way to cure racism is good old fashioned heterosexual marriage. The best way to sum up this movie is with this simple fact. The main characters name is True Son, but his biological parents want to call him “Johnny” The scene were he meets his biological mother for the first time, instead of hugging, or getting to know each other, the mother simply says. “Your name is Johnny, you won’t leave this room until you say your name and act like a civilized gentleman.” Her concerns are not about True Sons mental wellbeing or safety, she just wants him to act ‘white’ so SHE is comfortable. There is ZERO love between them and yet the movie frames this like a heartfelt reunion between long lost family. After this scene, no one calls him True Son anymore, not even his love interest. They all call him Johnny and it has the same vibe as a someone getting dead-named over and over until they finally submit. I hate this movie and what is worse, I don’t think this will be the worst movie I’ll watch by the end of this project. God help me, this movie took years off my life. If I have to watch something this bad again I will dig up Walt myself and beat his zombie ass senseless. 

Total Score: 6/50

<- First <- Previous 38 out of 431 Next ->

the list

Edit: I would like to make a minor note about this movie. It is implied through dialogue that True Son was not adopted by kidnapped by the Native Americans. Which does make his biological families desire to bring him home understandable... HOWEVER: The way the movie is shot and written, it is clear that True Son is happy and treated as an equal while in the tribe, and he is emotionally abused the moment he is brought into the white town.  While he was not adopted in the text of the movie, it is clear that the movie frames and interprets True Son as an adopted child being ‘saved’ by his biological family. Either way Disney did a crappy job with this movie.

STARDUST -DAVID before BOWIE 

‘Stardust’ review: David Bowie biopic delves deep into the genesis of an icon from www.nme.com

Johnny Flynn plays Starman in a revelatory road trip movie that lacks its subject's music

By Mark Beaumont

Bowie legend would like us to believe that Ziggy Stardust beamed to earth fully-formed from some pan-sexual kabuki mothership full of scandalously revealing leggings. Writer-director Gabriel Range, however, proffers a very different Ziggy origin story. Here, rock culture’s defining extra-terrestrial was born out of fear, insecurity, failure and encroaching madness on a disastrous US tour in 1971. A trip, he suggests, when David Bowie realised that being himself might not be enough.

Where we imagine a character like Ziggy could only have been invented in a burst of supreme confidence, Johnny Flynn – singer and burgeoning screen star in Emma, Les Miserables and Lovesick – presents a lost, insecure and fidgety Bowie of ’71, desperate to be recognised but beaten down by numerous chart failures and mocked for his failings by one of the most bricklayerish screen Marc Bolan’s you’ll ever see. Arriving in America without the visa for his planned solo tour, he hooks up with the only fan of ‘The Man Who Sold To The World’ at his record label, publicist Ron Oberman (Marc Maron), and embarks upon a whirlwind coast-to-coast tour of under-the-radar gigs at sales conferences and open mic nights, shunned by Andy Warhol, wholesome radio DJs and arrogant scumbag music journalists along the way.

The elephant in the screening room is the lack of actual Bowie songs. Bowie’s son Duncan Jones has made it clear that his estate hasn’t endorsed the film and there has clearly been no clearance granted for any of his Ziggy-era classics. Instead, performance scenes consist of Flynn playing some of the lesser-known covers that Bowie performed around this time – The Yardbirds’ ‘I Wish You Would’ and Belgian singer-songwriter Jacques Brel’s ‘My Death’ – which robs the film of the sense that Bowie’s glowering talent was being criminally ignored. ‘Hunky Dory’, amongst the greatest albums ever made, is brushed over without a mention and there’s no triumphant finale of ‘Starman’ or ‘Suffragette City’ to send Stardust out on a bang.

The film works far better, then, as a revelatory road-trip movie rather than a biopic. The growing animosity and friendship between Bowie and Oberman is beautifully built, with Maron bristling with dedicated fandom stretched to breaking point and Flynn delivering a believably troubled Bowie, plagued by flashbacks about his schizophrenic brother Terry and his fears he may be succumbing to a genetic code of mental illness. Jena Malone (of Donnie Darko, The Hunger Games and The Neon Demon fame) steals every scene she’s given as a fittingly fiery Angie Bowie and there’s an (albeit fictionalised) illumination to be had from Stardust, for both casual fan and hardcore Bowiephiliac.

Though underplayed – the spark of inspiration for Ziggy is never really pinpointed – there’s a moment which artfully captures an awakening at the core of Bowie as chameleonic alien godhead. After having spent an evening idol worshipping The Velvet Underground’s new singer thinking he was Lou Reed all along, Bowie opines to Oberman: “a rock star or somebody impersonating a rock star, what’s the difference?” From that point on, it’s Ziggy playing guitar.

Four Stars out of Five

Bowie was such inspirational to me that since his death I'm still not able to listen to his records, which is really sad. But the fact that his music isn't present as the soundtrack of this movie, makes this film quite interesting to me. I will enjoy more the actors performances, the other songs present in the movie and I'll try to reconnected myself to his albums. As a fan I have to say to be really upset with the Bowie's family and with whom control his legacy. I don't understand their decisions and it seems to me that they have forgot that Bowie would never be Bowie without his fans, and deprive his fans of his music is something which I personally don't understand.

[carewyncromwell]

Bat confronting Dumbledore about Grindelwald sounds so interesting! (especially because i thought it was really lame in the new film) So if you ever feel inspired to write it, please do💕. All your writing and your drawings are lovely (i will stop fangirling now)

Aww, thank you so much!! I’m so touched that you like them!! ^///^

I have to agree with you on Crimes of Grindelwald -- I’m afraid I really didn’t like much of its writing at all, including the stuff involving Dumbledore and Grindelwald, so I like the idea of being able to rewrite that part of the timeline in a way that feels more organic and realistic for the books and for the historical allegory I feel it’s almost obligated to make.

For one, I never liked the thought of Grindelwald going to America. The twist of him being Graves at the end of the first Fantastic Beasts seemed perfectly unnecessary for me, as in 1920′s/30′s America, there was a spike in racism and anti-Semitism, largely inspired by the same things that supported the Nazi Party’s rise to power in Germany. Keep in mind that the Ku Klux Klan had a revival in the 1920′s, fueled in large part to the success of the white supremacist garbage film Birth of a Nation, which was released in 1915 and was given further credibility by that scumbag Woodrow Wilson after he screened it in the White House. That time period after its revival is largely considered to be when the Ku Klux Klan was at its most powerful and socially acceptable in the States -- and in the 20′s, the Klan extended its bigotry beyond black Americans to also encompass immigrants, using the rhetoric of them “coming to steal American jobs” (sound familiar?), as well as Catholics (many Klan members were Protestant) and Communists (one of the Nazi Party’s main rivals for power). Hitler didn’t need to go to the U.S. to spark the creation of the first American Nazi parties -- the Friends of the New Germany was sparked by German immigrants, yes, but its much more prolific successor, the German-American Bund, was founded in 1936 by an American citizen named Fritz Kuhn. And what do you know, it turns out that the home-grown group founded by Americans did better at recruiting other Americans to the Nazi ideology than one funded and promoted by lesser officers of the Third Reich. Graves could’ve been the Wizarding World’s Fritz Kuhn -- another great and memorable villain alongside Grindelwald, rather than just a mask he uses.

I admit as well that I personally envisioned Grindelwald looking and acting differently than he does in the films. Johnny Depp doesn’t give a bad performance exactly, and I feel awful about everything that went down with him and Amber Heard...but at the same time, Depp’s Grindelwald was not what I ever had in my head. My personal fancast for Grindelwald is Michael Fassbender (if nothing else, he’s a German actor and he played Magneto, for crying out loud: he’s awesome!!) --

-- and I just always imagined Gellert Grindelwald being the sort of animated, dynamic person who talked with his hands a lot and could whip people up into a frenzy about how they’re going to change the world and “bring everything back” to this idealistic, glorious time that never really existed, while still being so, SO obviously wrong -- to put it simply, like his real-world counterpart, Adolf Hitler. And considering I’ve read so many people completely missing the point of Grindelwald here on Tumblr after watching Crimes of Grindelwald by comparing him to Killmonger from Black Panther and saying “he had a point,” it’s clear to me these new films missed the boat on that. Also, they character-assasinated Queenie and killed Leda off way too friggin’ early, which pisses me off to no end. >I

Finally, I don’t like the idea they’ve established in the films of the little not-Unbreakable-Vow-but-damn-close blood pact “charm” Grindelwald and Dumbledore made being the reason that Dumbledore isn’t fighting Grindelwald. I thought there was something so powerful and tragic in the books about Dumbledore refusing to fight Grindelwald solely out of the embers of his old romantic feelings for him and the fear he felt as a result toward the idea of confronting the man he once loved and was maybe starting to realize was a monster. Realizing that you’ve been mistreated by someone you loved can be a very difficult thing to recover from -- sometimes it can take time to come to grips with it, and then even more time to confront who hurt you. Dumbledore likely could’ve been struggling with the fear not just of fighting someone who he doesn’t really want to hurt, but also of fighting someone who knows him in ways other people never could, who could manipulate him and could very well do so again...who knows the true extent of his demons and guilt surrounding what happened to his sister, something he’s clearly never gotten over. That alone is MORE than enough to explain why Dumbledore isn’t fighting Grindelwald -- that alone is MORE than enough drama to fill an entire movie -- but like with a lot of things in Crimes of Grindelwald, we get all sorts of unnecessary padding theoretically put in to better explain things, but in the end, that padding and exposition takes away from the core emotions that should be at the heart of the story and its relationships. We didn’t need all of this stuff with the charm. We didn’t need all of this stuff with Credence or the prophecy. We didn’t need Grindelwald going to the States to try to find an Obscurus. We didn’t need to involve Newt, Tina, and crew in any of this, at least not this quickly and/or directly. Fantastic Beasts should’ve been more like Indiana Jones, if they wanted to include Grindelwald -- have him be in the background, but not the focus. Then do a separate film (or multiple separate films) about Dumbledore and Grindelwald, showing everything we didn’t get for them in Deathly Hallows and expanding upon it to craft the romantic tragedy that has only been alluded to previously.

Now of course, I totally understand if any of you disagree with anything I wrote up there -- this is just my personal point of view. But it will definitely color how I depict my boy Bat, his relationship with Dumbledore, and his resistance efforts against Grindelwald on this blog.
