#but they had no reason to believe that the rage crystals are a thing that happened *to* the RG's

Just to throw my two cents on the Rat Grinder discourse: They weren't worth the Intrepid Heroes' time. We didn't get the full picture of what's going on with the Grinders until the last quarter of the season. Before that they were just this other clique that hate the main characters, so in-character why would the Bad Kids bother giving them so much attention when they've got so much of their own crap going on. Kristens quest to get Cassandra back and her presidential campaign, Gorgugs courseload, Riz's million and one plates that he's been spinning all season, Adaines financial problems, Figs curse and her doubts about what she wants to do with her life. Fabian's the only one who might have had the time, but he had to be Maximum Legend. There genuinely was no time or even an incentive on the IH's side to develop the Rat Grinders characters.
I still think it's fucked up that these teenagers got taken advantage of by adults they trusted, but we didn't learn any of that until we only had two roleplay episodes left. Too little too late to even try anything diplomatic even if they didn't spend all their time after the Last Stand in hiding.
And a thing about Ivy that no one is roasting her about and really should: An elven archer? Really? Wow, never seen that before.
Yeah totally. Like, from a meta level, I see where the players themselves could have been more curious about the Rat Grinders. There are obvious plot threads that could have been teased out there (though, in fairness to the cast, the adult manipulation aspect didn't become clear until way later in the season--the rivalry and foil aspects were more obvious). This final confrontation could look really different if they'd played that all the way out all season.
But in character? The Bad Kids really didn't have a good reason to waste time on the Rat Grinders. They came into this school year already burnt out from their Night Yorb quest and wanting a break. But they don't get that because they immediately are beset by problems they have to deal with--Kristen's god is on death's door from neglect and she's on the brink of expulsion, Riz is running himself ragged trying to boost his resume for college, Fig is having a whole ass existential crisis, Adaine is struggling with money issues she doesn't want to talk about, Gorgug is taking FOUR YEARS of school at the same time, and Fabian is multiclassing and dealing with his empty house/not having parental support (or Cathilda's support) for the first time. They are dealing with SO MUCH high stakes, personal stuff before the plot even kicks in. And, mechanics-wise, this is represented with the downtime system that means that any time they spend on the RG's is time they can't spend on something that matters more to them. IMO, not prioritizing your haters is actually pretty mature. Like, they weren't proactively using their free time to bully them or anything (except for arguably Fig). They were snippy with them when they crossed their paths and that was it. As opposed to the Rat Grinders who literally had to be told by Jace to stop antagonizing the Bad Kids (though they must have been pretty ineffectual at it because the Bad Kids hardly noticed, which I bet stung considering they were so obsessed).
And also, it's not like they didn't try at all with the Rat Grinders. Early Insight checks on Kipperlilly just got, "This is a polished steel orb of a personality" which doesn't sound very worth interacting with in a sympathetic way if at all and then the next big thing they learn is that she had hated Riz since Freshman Year and that she wants Riz and Kristen dead. And that's AFTER we saw her smile and kill her party cleric. In their position I'm not spending further time trying to empathize with this person, I have made my judgement and it's up to the Jawbones of the world to find if there's something in there to be rehabilitated.
And that's not the only case. Adaine straight up saved Ruben from disintegration during the Frosty Folk battle when she easily could have saved the spell slot, but that didn't soften him towards the Bad Kids any. Adaine also was really keen to Scry on the Rat Grinders to find out what was happening at their meetings. But, in scene at least, she was never able to do that so we never got a scene of them, huddled together, clearly unsure about the path they're on but not feeling like they can walk it back or say no to the authority figures in their lives. She didn't get anything humanizing that would cause her to rethink their position on them the way that she did with Aelwyn for instance. So why would they think they're anything but gleeful co-conspirators?
Hell, the one RG Adaine was even slightly curious about was Oisin and now we know that he was feigning interest in her which, man, can you imagine how much worse that would have felt if she'd actually taken the bait and pursued him beyond just thinking he was cute? Of course, it's possible that her interacting with him more along with some good charm rolls could have changed the narrative in some way but we can only go off of what we know to be true in canon and those facts are (1) He tried to get closer to Adaine while actively planning the downfall of her and her friends, (2) he (along with Ivy) was mean to Buddy behind his back while tricking him into a plan that would force him to go against his religious beliefs, and (3) he called his KVX related dragon ancestors to try to kill the Bad Kids and endanger the entire student body population. Three strikes, you're out. If I'm a Bad Kid I'm not super interested in whatever else is going on with him. And again, literally all of Adaine's friends (except Riz) gave her help to do an Insight check on him during their confrontation in the hallway so she was looking for something there worth engaging with, but she didn't get much.
Fig was fully doing CIA, MKUltra, Fantasy Geneva Convention violations on Ruben to try see if she could get information or flip him. I think she did it in an objectively insane way so I'm not entirely shocked that it didn't yield the exact results she was looking for. But she never found the smoking gun (or whatever the opposite of that is) in his head that would absolve him/show the Rat Grinders were being controlled and her messing with his dreams never flared his conscience enough to make him try to break free (as far as we know) which is what I assume she was going for. If I was Ruben looking for a way out but scared of the repercussions, I might go to Adaine who saved me from certain death earlier the same year and has helped saved the world 3 times with her party and their friends in high (and low) places. Maybe that's what Fig thought might happen but it didn't so from Fig's POV? Gave him a chance. Time to start blasting. And again, at that age, if I walked in to the first day of class and the first thing this random boy does is sneer at me and flaunt his musical success, I'm popping up on his Nemesis Alert at that moment. Doubly so after he tries to trick me and my friends into doing drugs so we get expelled. I'm surprised she tried at all with him.
Fabian absolutely tried to interact with Ivy--in large part for self interested reasons of course, but that doesn't change that he did it. And she came across as callous and unkind from the jump. Their final conversation before the latest episode is the one where she talks about wearing Mazey like a sweater and then says that Fabian missed his chance with her before stalking off. That's a pretty open and shut interaction. No way 17 year old me is like, "Hmm, but why is she acting so mean? Perhaps I should examine that more closely to further understand her." Nah, I've decided she sucks.
And Kristen has tried with Buddy literally up until the last moment. She rolled an Insight check on him right before the fight started and she got a 1. She got nothing from him.
Mary Ann is actually the only Rat Grinder who hasn't done anything to make a bad impression on the Bad Kids--the only thing she did was have a really good Bloodrush tryout. So no reason to hate her specifically (and, in fact, she is also the only Rat Grinder that at least half of them are positively obsessed with), but no reason to explore her further. And Kristen still tried giving her a stuffed animal and her response was that she already had that one and that she was going to give it away. What are they supposed to do with that?
Even when they tried, they didn't get information that was worth chasing when they were so busy and had to manage their free time. Gorgug didn't even slot in downtime to talk to his bio parents when they visited. Why would he spend any time on Mary Ann to figure out her deal? Maybe if they were given more explicit opportunities to interact with them in passing. If Mary Ann was shown at Bloodrush Games. If during class time Oisin tried to interact with Adaine. If Kristen ran into Buddy and Bucky talking. If any of their forays into talking to them or looking into them yielded anything actionable or that piqued their interest--they opened the door for Brennan to give them something more than once. But they never got anything that was worth investing more of their limited time into.
(And also, they didn't learn that Porter was involved until WAY into the last quarter of the episodes. Which absolutely could have changed things since, as far as they knew the RG's were working alone to raise this god which isn't crazy for them to think because Kristen literally did that last year and it was of her own free will. If they knew early that the RG's were smaller players in Porter's plot then maybe they would have been in more of a rescue mindset--especially since Fig has always mistrusted him--but that's not information they had and by the time they got it, the RG's were in deep hiding, like you said.)
And so, coming into the last few episodes, that's who the Rat Grinders are to the Bad Kids. A group of kids who they first heard about in the context of, "they famously hate you," even though they'd never interacted before. A group of kids who they already thought sucked even before they tried to kill the entire study body an hour ago. A group of kids who are trying to doom all of Elmville to eternal rage and who are willing and ready to kill them to do it.
With that context, yeah I think their actions are pretty understandable.
(Also, lmao. Yeah, I think calling Ivy basic would probably hurt her more than most things you could say to her.)

Hey Dimonds, now that you are not making a second chance SU AU.
Does Spinel “pull a Bismuth”, because she’s afraid to Steven might “Abandon” her for Connie in the future.
Also because also the fact that it’s after pearl told everyone that Rose Quartz is Pink Diamond, (Spinel’s best friend who left her for 625 years). Causing Spinel to question her and Rose’s/Pink’s time together as “Friends”.
YOU. YOU GET IT.
So it's been years, but if I remember correctly, what I meant by "pull a Bismuth" was that Spinel attacked Steven for a VERY similar reason Bismuth did. It's less that she believed that Steven was Pink Diamond, and more that the gemstone won't ever change. Iirc.
She poofed from heartbreak when she discovered that Rose and Pink were the same person.
See, part of her history is that Pink Diamond got her from the garden and brought her to Earth, which Spins was excited about. Rose realized that just convincing Spinel to join the Crystal Gems wasn't going to work, because she was literally MADE to be Pink's friend and would stick by her no matter what, so they devised a plan; Pink Diamond would become just as horrible and nasty as the CG propaganda made her out to be, while Rose Quartz then swoops in to save Spins.
This culminates in a meeting. Pink spends years ignoring Spinel no matter what, and eventually just banishes the gem from her court in front of everyone. Spinel runs into the trees, heartbroken, and poofs. Pearl finds her gem and brings her back to the Crystal Gems, where she decides to join them. Rose shows her unending kindness and support (though she was still kinda uncomfortable around the gem, now Spinel had WAY more friends, and so that made her easier to tolerate to Rose), and Spinel found a home there.
...So when she discovered that they were the same person, she had a crisis. Anger, rage, jealousy, betrayal, hurt, ALL of it built upon itself until she once again poofed from heartbreak. And when Steven and Pearl came back with Sapphire, she'd reformed into an appearance similar to canon Spinel's movie form.
She attacks Steven because she has it in her head that Steven isn't who he says he is, either. Maybe he's not Pink, but also maybe he is! Who knows! Since she's so good at PRETENDING anyway!
It takes Pearl explaining that Rose just wanted to help her, despite not really wanting to be her friend anymore, that pulls Spinel back down. She was still lied to, and she is allowed to be angry about that, but Rose didn't do it just to fuck with Spins' head or anything. Rose genuinely wanted Spinel to be in the Crystal Gems, and once she was, she found a good home. That's all Rose wanted.
In Future, Spinel still has a LOT of mixed feelings about her. She's come to realize she can still appreciate the good memories, but those bad memories are valid as well, and it's a good thing they aren't friends anymore, no matter the method. Their personalities didn't mix well, and that's okay. At least they were kind to each other. Spinel can appreciate that, even if she wished Rose would have just talked to her instead. But hey, that's just who Rose was. She kept secrets.
Part of my goal with ASC was to keep in line with Pink/Rose doing things she felt was right, but was just the wrong way to go about it. Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. Sorta. She's a complex character, and I wanted to try and express that further in ASC. She realized she shouldn't have left Spinel in the garden and gets her, which is good! But then she lied to her several times, which was bad! It was "for her own good," sure, but who decides that? (quote, Miles Morales.)
I hope I did both Rose and Spinel justice in my portrayal of them. That was always a point of anxiety for me, especially people were SO quick to villainize Rose no matter what she did. She wasn't a villain, but she wasn't a perfect saint, either. She was, well. Human. Ironically enough.
OH OH BEFORE I FORGET. YES. Spinel acted that way towards Connie because she was afraid of Connie taking Steven from her, just like Greg took away Rose and the Diamonds took away the Crystal Gems. She's tired of loosing friends, and Rose's passing caused her to WAY overcorrect and hold them WAY too close. This is why, despite having rocky relationships with the other CGs in Season 1, she still clings to them. There's good memories. She cannot let them go.
I hope this makes sense lol

Dead boy detectives characters as animals.
This, rather clearly, isn't a review. However, I am currently hyper-fixating on DBD; i'm talking eat, sleep, and breathe these people(Charles rowland you'll forever be famous). So, without further ado; the animals i've assigned them.
__________________ We already canonical animals assigned to two of the characters (shout out to Monty, you remind me of my girlfriend, Archie) but, what if they all had specific animals assigned to them. THIS ISN'T SLANDER I SWEAR. But, if you take it that way, that's brills.
Charles Rowland; Sugar glider / flying squirrel
-You're gonna look at me and say i'm wrong??, to hell with the golden retriever trope: We need more people who are simply the animals who shouldn't but do. Charles Rowland is that person, argue with someone else if you don't see the vision.
RIP Charles Rowland, you would've loved "am I gay/autistic" quizzes and the concept of being omnisexual.
Edwin payne/paine; New Zealand lesser short-tailed bat/ stoat.
-How does one spell his last name cause i've seen it spelt both ways, any-whom; I don't actually have any context for this but it just generally feels right. If he had to be any animal: I 100% believe it'd be a bat, more specifically that type of bat. Although; I do giggle at the relationship square he's got going on, especially after this list. 10 points voted to stoat though, cuties fr.
RIP Edwin payne, you wouldve loved gay marriage and therapy. You also would've hated colleen hoover
Crystal palace; Fennec fox.
-Again; I do not have a genuine reason behind such a claim; but, actually nothing, but nothing. She's genuinely a sweetie & I will nvr stand for Crystal slander: she's simply a teenage girl with some issues dawg. BUT; fennec foxes are the animal of resemblance for her because I say so. (Headcanon: she absolutely had one at home & it'd be the most spoiled thing in the world; Crystal named her wisp.)
RIP Crystal Palace, you would've loved feminine rage playlists and tiktok shop headphones x stickers
Niko Sasaki; Chinchilla / European polecat
-Y'all please see the vision. please. She's gen so chinchilla coded: if you look hard enough(I'm completely pulling this out of my arse.) This whole paragraph is gonna be complete spirals/rants(like always) but, dawg Niko was such a delight, like when I first saw the Netflix ad I was conflicted but she's such a darling. I shed so many tears over her 'death' because like, no. She's alive and very well.
RIP Niko sasaki, you would've loved the hurt/comfort tag on ao3 and making your friends get married in the sims.

Thank you for coming to my ted-talk. Salut !

Galacta and meta were friends? That is so interesting! How did they become friends in the first place?
Tumblr media
Mety & Gally
The thing is the two never met in person...
Due to their past experience (with Celestine), the Ancients raised Galacta in isolation. Sheiled from the world, not wanting him to be corrupted by "outside forces"... before he was ready to debut as the Galaxy's savior...
But that didn't stop our dear Galacta from sneaking around the vent and listening in around the GSA's base walls. He was doing his nightly sneak out until he happened to hear the most beautiful voice singing... and it was none other than our dear Mety~
And not have anyone giving him trouble with his wings...
The only person Meta had in his life whom he could trust was Sir Arthur... so you can imagine how lonely he was. And was scared when his mentor would go on missions (afraid he wouldn't come back... and he'd be left alone).
During those times, Meta would come to the library when he was at his most anxious to read something. But he would go at night when no one was there so nobody would give him any trouble (because of his wings)...
He was singing to himself (one night), and Galacta complements him, and Meta is taken back by the voice in the wall... That night they hit it off that... not really knowing who the other one really was.
Meta (not wanting to lose his friend... didn't tell him that he was the cursed star...)
Galacta (Not wanting to get his friend in trouble... didn't tell him that he was one of the heroes of Yore)
So they called each other by nicknames: Meta- Mety /Galacta- Gally
Despite keeping their true identities a secret... they were the best of friends. This did not last, however. But Galacta's debut was coming up soon (his grand reveal as the newest member of the Heroes of Yore)... and he was thrilled to finally be able to meet his friend in person...
Meta is nervous at first (still not having told Galacta about his demon origins), but Gala reassures him the week before... "No need to worry. I'm sure will be friends in person too!" Meta is genuinely excited and believes that since they formed such a close bond, "Surely Gally would accept him."
I really can't spoil anything... but basically, it's the combination of the friendship tragedy of Fox & the Hound mixed with the tragedy of Blitzo & Fizzaroli (Helluava Boss). Meta is the Fizzaroli / Blitzo is Galacta...
The tragedy ensures... and the friendship is broken the moment they meet. GUESS WHO SCREWS UP THE FRIENDSHIP: SIR UTHER & SIR ICARUS! An accident (that Sir Icarus caused) leaves the two former friends in tears... and who should take advantage of this broken bond... Sir Uther.
Sir Uther & Sir Icarus kept him away from Meta so the misunderstanding could never be cleared up. (Plus, it would spoil their plans... The two don't meet again after this incident... they only meet again as adults once Galacta gets uncrystallized.
But Galacta Knight does find out the truth (after they took out Void Termina), and the first thing he does, is beat the f*cker who caused the accident. The Ancients & Sir Uther (Uther arriving at the scene first) find Galacta Knight already beating the hell out of Icarus... (Icarus is half-dead at this point).
And the way Sir Uther painted the scene, he made it look like Galacta had gone insane and was beating Icarus for no reason. But he did (have a good reason)... his friendship with Meta was the only good thing in his life... and it was ripped away from the superiors he trusted so much.
And tragically, he was sealed away... those years of being crystalized and something terrible (something later to be revealed) had corrupted him. Destroying his memory... he only had bits and pieces of it by the time he was unsealed... he only knew of Meta as the cursed star of the GSA... (not his best friend he loved so much).
Rage was the only thing that kept him going... only remembering Sir Uther & Sir Icarus were the cause of his unfair imprisonment. And in his broken state, he assumed he only remembered Meta because he had a karmic debt due... but in reality, it was the part of him that wanted to find Meta so he could apologize.
I hinted at their friendship a while back(this post), and brought it up again during the Marx post, but yeah such a tragedy...
Also shoutout to @bunkieprime
Tumblr media
I wanted to say so badly back then, "Who said that he wouldn't...," but that would've been a spoiler~
I hope you all stick around to see how the story unfolds...

Snowed In- C.BG
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairings: Beomgyu x gn! reader
Genre: Angst, suggestive, mature, college!au, lovers-to-enemies!au
Warnings: Cursing, mentions of handjobs and sex, mentions of peer pressure, reader and Beomgyu are stupid, classic case of misunderstanding and miscommunication, let me know if I need to add anything
Word Count: 1.261k
Summary: You finally hear Beomgyu out after years of hating him...all thanks to a snow storm.
A/N: I randomly got the urge to write this- I hope people find some enjoyment out of this! Feedback is always appreciated!
Tumblr media
"You're an idiot, Choi Beomgyu. I hope you get trapped in here forever."
An annoyed scoff leaves Beomgyu's mouth, his eyes moving away from his phone to shoot you a glare, hating this situation just as much as you.
"If I'm trapped here forever, you're gonna be trapped with me, dumbass. Now shut up while I look at the weather."
You roll your eyes in response, looking outside his bedroom window, watching the heavy snowfall, not a single color in sight, as if the snow washed away the vibrancy of the city. Trees, cars, and houses were covered in a thick blanket of snow, the crystals shining from the street lamps reflecting off of them.
While some may consider your current surroundings an early winter wonderland, you couldn't be more pissed. You were positive the world was playing some sick joke on you the moment your professor paired you with Satan himself, better known as Beomgyu, but now this was a step too far. You knew that with the expected six feet of snow, there was absolutely no way that you'd be going home to your bed tonight.
All you wanted was to curl up in the warmth of your own covers, maybe even treat yourself to a cup of hot chocolate as you binged whatever show you hadn't finished yet, but at least your current rage could warm you up instead.
"Why the fuck did you invite me over if it was gonna snow?"
Beomgyu groans and refreshes his phone for the hundredth time as if the weather app would suddenly tell him something different and all the snow would vanish instantly.
"Don't try and blame this on me. Did you check the weather before you came here? No. It would have made more sense for you to check the weather since you had to leave your place."
You bite back a response, knowing that for once in his life, Beomgyu was right, but you'd never admit that out loud.
There were almost no words in the dictionary that could describe the mutual hatred you had for each other. Your friends never understood why you hated the boy so much, but you had every reason to.
How could you not hate the guy who gave you your very first heartbreak and humiliated you?
While others would know him as the hyperactive lovable idiot on campus, he'd always be the guy who asked you out in high school because the seniors dared him to, gave you your first kiss, and then lied about getting a handjob from you the next day. You were elated when you walked into the school doors, ready to look for the boy you had fallen for, only to be devastated when you heard the rumors being whispered about you.
Nothing between you has been the same since. You knew no one would ever believe you if you denied the rumors, so you did what any "mature" teen would do...you doubled down on the lie and made a few embellishments of your own, claiming that Choi Beomgyu had a small dick.
It was safe to say that the rivalry had started there and hasn't gone away even after starting college. All you wanted was a peaceful college life, away from any childish drama, but when you saw Beomgyu in your Art History class, you were tempted to drop out of the course. And when he became your partner for end of semester project, you were ready to send in your letter of resignation.
"My friends know I'm at your place, and the last thing I want is another incident where people think I slept with you or something," you hiss out as you reposition yourself in Beomgyu's uncomfortable desk chair, causing it to squeak.
Beomgyu glances up from his phone with an indifferent look, biting the side of his cheek and letting out a heavy sigh through his nose.
"If your friends think you slept with me and don't believe you, that's their problem. And can we maybe not talk about that right now? Or ever?"
You narrow your eyes at the nerve of the boy sitting in front of you on his bed. He's the one who ruined your high school reputation, and yet he's the one who wants to forget it ever happened?
"Why not? It seems pretty relevant to our current predicament. If you hadn't lied about getting a handjob, I wouldn't have started hating you, and we could've—" you cut yourself off from finishing your sentence, worried about the words that nearly left your lips.
We could've been together.
Beomgyu chooses to ignore your unfinished sentence, for now, as he tosses his phone aside, giving you his full attention with a scowl on his face.
"You don't even understand what really fucking happened, Y/N. I'm not as shitty as you think I am."
Your gaze challenges his as you tilt your head in amusement.
"What don't I understand, Beomgyu? I'm pretty positive I know everything and can gather up that you're just a massive asshole."
Another long sigh leaves Beomgyu as he debates whether he should fess up to what actually happened, figuring that anything he said was useless anyways. But fuck it, what's the worst that could happen? You continue to despise him?
"I was dared to ask you out, but I already had a crush on you, and Yeonjun dared me to "man up" and tell you. His friends found out after our date ended and asked me how it went...I told them I kissed you, and they started making fun of me for not doing more with you. I know it's stupid, but I panicked and said that you...ya know. I was gonna tell you myself and apologize, but you were already upset and said I had a small dick and avoided me anytime I tried to talk to you."
Beomgyu watched your face closely as your smug expression fell, soon replaced with a look of shock. All these years, you figured Beomgyu had made a master plan to humiliate you to score some cool points, but he was just a scared sophomore pressured by a group of douchebag seniors. Regret instantly floods your body at the realization that Beomgyu wasn't as much of an asshole as you painted him to be.
Yeah, he still lied and caused your humiliation. But you refused to give him the benefit of the doubt and allow him to apologize, opting for your own form of revenge.
"I— Beomgyu, I didn't know—" you scramble out, your mind racing a mile a minute.
Beomgyu breaks eye contact to stare at the pen holder on his desk as if it was the most intriguing item in the room.
"I know you didn't. But it's fine. I'm sorry for lying. Can we please not talk about it anymore?"
"I'm sorry for lying too...and not letting you apologize, and being a bitch to you for all these years." Your words come out mumbled, but Beomgyu manages to hear you regardless.
He clears his throat as he steers his attention to the blizzard outside, the harsh wind blowing snowflakes against his window.
"Um—I'll call you an Uber when the streets get cleared. You can sleep in my room tonight. I'll take the couch," Beomgyu awkwardly states as he gets up from his bed, leaving his room before you can even mutter a response.
You let out a breath you didn't even know you were holding as his absence leaves you to bide in your thoughts.
I'm such a dumbass.

Bugs Bunny — Warmonger
Tumblr media
His very name strikes fear into the hearts of the most hardened warrior. Crimson and gold tear through all in his path, unmatched in its strength, and unrelenting in its power and fury. Celestial Warrior, Warmonger, descends upon the battlefield.
Bugs Bunny was a household name that was revered amongst comedians in Acmeville, and beloved by many. And one wouldn’t be blamed for being awestruck by him—his easygoing trickster nature would draw one to him like bees, something his greatest rivals would begrudgingly admit. Get to know him personally, and he’s the best friend one could have. Draw his ire, and no force in nature will stop him from getting his revenge, however creative and absurd it may be.
Yes, Bugs Bunny was a household name. Keyword was.
The world’s most famous star was caught up in a freak explosion in Acmeville’s business district, of which his co-star, Daffy Duck, was the only survivor. Theories ran rampant and multiple searches were conducted, but all came back negative, and everyone in the world came to accept the worst as pure fact. The world mourned the death of Bugs Bunny while simultaneously blaming Daffy for the buck’s death, accusing him of foul play. And while justice is still being pursued, the world moved on as more chaotic incidents forced them to turn their attention elsewhere. Still, some of his most rabid fans believe that he was still alive, and that no mere explosion could kill him. They believe that he’s laying in low and pursuing the person who tried to kill him, as Bugs wasn’t one who would let an attempt on his life go unchallenged.
As Droop-a-Long Coyote would learn, those rabid fans had a few things right, and they got a few things wrong.
Bugs Bunny did, in fact, die that day—but the reasons for his death weren’t as cut and dry as people believed.
Bugs Bunny was, in fact, alive, having come back from death as a pure Celestial warrior. Revived by arcane arts that are beyond human comprehension, it resulted in one of the most powerful Celestials known to mankind, with an Imperium Crystal that craves blood. Though already feared for his creative methods of retaliation, his masterful use of one of the few complete relics in the world—Dáinsleif, which was sought by many—and his Astral Skill, Flare Stealer, makes him a menace. While Dáinsleif draws its power from the blood of the innocent, his Astral Skill gives him the ability to steal Imperium Mana directly from an Imperium Crystal, effectively draining their heart. This essentially makes him a vampire, for he needs the Imperium Crystals of the innocents to keep him alive.
And yes, he was pursuing the person who killed him…but his path to justice meant leaving a trail of blood in his wake, something that he never would have done in his earthly body.
Droop-a-Long Coyote would meet his childhood hero in the worst way possible, learning that the “Bugs Bunny” he grew up with now only existed in the past. The Bugs Bunny he grew up with never had a soulless look in his eyes. The Bugs Bunny he grew up with never wore such armor. The Bugs Bunny he grew up with never wielded a sword so magnificently terrifying it froze him in place. The Bugs Bunny he knew could give his adversaries a thrashing—but “thrashing” seemed too gentle of a word to describe what the buck did to Avenger I, to Titan, and even Reaper.
That became the least of his concerns as the being formerly known as Bugs Bunny turned upon him, arcane flames dancing across his shoulder to heal the hit that Droop-a-Long had, by dumb luck, inflicted on him. Emerald green eyes, once soulless, were now alive and gleaming with intense rage. If speaking alone could kill someone, he would’ve dropped the moment he heard the phrase that lent to his new name, the phrase that signaled a terrible end for the one who wronged him—
“Of course you realize, this means war.”
I LIVE AGAIN!
Now, don’t worry, I will do a proper profile for Warmonger when I get the chance. I just don’t have the time because I’m gonna head into work in a few, and the length of this profile is gonna be the same as the Second Styles for both Super Why and Princess Presto (in other words, a freakin’ essay), so I’ll have to put it off until this weekend!
But anyway—LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT HOW BADASS HE IS. I was going for the “edgy anti villain” angle for Bugs, and it came out perfectly. I was trying to avoid doing black and red, but since Huck had black, lavender and purple and Ric has black, orange and amber/brown, I figured it’d make sense ^^ Plus the color scheme suits him really well!
Make no mistake, Bugs is one of the most broken characters in the cast—with a name like Warmonger, would you expect anything less?—and is able to wipe the floor with Huck, Yogi and Ricochet easily. But there’s a reason behind it, though, a reason that will be revealed in the upcoming profile!
I was half tempted to start numbering this like I did with the Einherjar Files and the Attero Dominatus Files, but I wanted to get Huck, Ricochet and Yogi done before I start in on this profile. And yes, I started out of order. BUT I DON’T CARE. Lol. XD
That’s all I’ll have to say for the time being, but I hope you love this piece as much as I loved working on it!
Big thanks to user @zero06iranosaurusrex for their awesome takes on Bugs, which inspired this!

Yandere leshy hehe
Murder child. His wiki doesn't give a personality so I just pulled one from his voicelines/dialogue.
Yandere! Leshy Concept
Pairing: Romantic/Platonic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Religion, Cults, Isolation, Murder, Sacrifice, Jealousy, Forced affection, Forced worship, Abuse of power, Violence.
Tumblr media
Leshy is the youngest of the Bishops.
He is overly eager and easily annoyed.
The worm is also childish at times.
He believes himself as strong and sometimes overly confident.
Like a child, he believes himself to be capable even when he isn't.
Leshy has also been blinded by TOWW, his senses are enhanced around him.
The Green Crown sees for him at times, but his hearing is even better.
Leshy, out of all the Bishops, seems the most likely to throw tantrums.
Heket is moody but not childish, Kallamar is skittish and barely has any rage, and Shamura is too mature to be enraged so easily.
Even with Narinder, he too never had childish tantrums
Leshy would, like the other Bishops, fall for a darling of his territory.
You live in the lush forest of Darkwood, the region ruled by Leshy.
You could follow his teachings or not.
If you do, he commends you for being so faithful to him.
He loves your loyalty to The Old Faith.
He'll spare your execution and try to convert you.
If you don't entirely believe him but aren't opposed to the Old Faith...
He likes the idea of more followers.
Leshy is probably a Bishop who'd promise you blessings if you swear loyalty to him.
He'd also get frustrated and easily jealous over his darling.
Leshy would probably make something up about you being his chosen one.
The follower that shines above the others in a way.
It's more of an excuse for several reasons.
He wants his siblings to allow him to keep you close.
He's also trying to rationalize this fondness he has towards you.
Lastly, he wants you to believe and trust him.
Your loyalty and faith is what gives him strength.
When Leshy manages to meet with you alone, among the gardens of flowers in his region, he likes affection.
The worm is so much larger than you due to the crown on his head, but he loves the feeling of your smaller hands touching his head.
The feeling against his leaves makes him realize even more that he adores you.
Leshy has hands/arms despite being worm-based.
He mutters praises towards you, using hearing and touch to sense you.
He looks scary due to being a Bishop and the bloody bandages, but he's so gentle with you.
Leshy is similar to Kallamar in terms of affection, he leans into it like it's the best thing he's ever felt.
Unlike Kallamar, he's less submissive to you despite you being his most important follower.
Leshy's behavior would probably be Affectionate, Temperamental, Obsessive, Manipulative, and Demanding.
Most of your time is being summoned by Leshy to either his temple or a garden he made in your honor.
The garden is filled with pretty crystals that Kallamar gave him and flowers coat the area.
Leshy felt his most precious disciple needed a precious space to flee to.
This is your most common spot to meet at.
Leshy often comments how the area accents your looks....
His siblings find his fondness towards you a bit strange.
He sacrifices other followers, but never you?
You also have a garden?
They ask for what his plans are and Leshy hates that they're so nosey.
"They are mine, that is all."
Leshy definitely dislikes it when other followers cozy-up-to you.
They wonder how you became their Bishop's favorite.
Leshy's response? Hiding you in your garden and calling for their sacrifice.
"They do not understand us... no one does. Pay them no mind. Just stay faithful to me."
Jealousy makes him upset.
To keep him in a good mood, he likes feeling you beside him.
It calms him greatly.
Just you and him... in your garden... sitting amongst the flowers.
The Bishop is also obsessive about keeping you loyal.
Even in your garden, a statue of him looms over you.
One you are expected to pray to....
You are easily manipulated as a follower.
Propaganda from other followers spreads like a disease.
If you even think about dissenting, Leshy corrects you.
He sits you in his temple and lectures you.
He says he's done so much for you.
The garden was made for you, by his order...
Why would you want to leave Darkwood?
Do you not trust him?
He's demanding, like a child not taught proper manners.
He demands affection and praise...
He demands you to worship him...
He demands you not to leave.
Leshy, in my HC, would probably be able to manipulate the flora somewhat in Darkwood.
Think about it... Leshy holds you in your garden by vines, his personal form of chains.
Until you're loyal and allow him in your heart, you can stay right there...
Don't be so sad!
He thinks you're even more beautiful than the garden he keeps you in... like a flower meant for him.

tragic backstory (tm) au)
pyrrrha and jaune have a date. yang is defnatly not jealous and neither is ruby they're just tagging along for moral support…. yeah!
ozpin takes the time to inspect jaune's gear for him. he's seeing a lot of … aura? magic? something like that. it's rearranging the metals and making them both sturdier and acting like a conductor for jaune's aura… this is something he heard about when he was a boy… as in a boy back in his first life. but it was only for great legends.
… just what has he turned jaune into?
(slaying the dragon was a big enough feat that now jaune's weapons and armor are more symbols of that feat than actual items. more like if you somehow crystallized the attention and emotions people felt about jaune's slaying of the dragon. tldr jaune's got a couple of noble phantasms on his hands)
Ponce Age
Pyrrha: (Sighs contently, Holds Jaune's arm)
Jaune: Everything okay, Pyrrha?
Pyrrha: Yes. Everything is just... perfect.
Ruby: (In a bush) Target in sight.
Weiss: They're not targets, Ruby.
Yang: I mean, they're the reason we're out here, so...
Blake: Targets.
Emerald: And why are we following them? Shouldn't we be respecting their privacy?
Mercury: And miss this blackmail? Yeah, right!
Emerald: Wait, are we really here for blackmail?
RWBY: (Holding up their scrolls) Um...
Emerald: I can't believe this...
---------------------------------------------------
Wei: Do you truly believe this?
Adam: (Bound by chains, Welts all over him) Yes! All of my suffering has been by the hands of a hum- ARGH!
Wei: No! You only suffer because you lack discipline! You lack understanding! Humanity did not give you that scar. It is your naivete and ignorance that causes you pain!
Adam: ...
Wei: Who did this to you? Who is responsible for your incarceration? Who is the one who put you away, only to be freed later by my hand?
Adam: ...Me- ARGH!
Wei: You say the correct answer, but you do not believe it. If you are going to speak, then speak with certainty.
Adam: Jaune Arc...
Wei: Good. Your honesty will reward you this once... with less pain!
Adam: AUGH! ARGH! DAMMIT! WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS TRAINING?! I WOULD HAVE HAD HIM! I WOULD HAVE KILLED- AAAAAAAAUGH!
Wei: You were fighting an unarmed opponent and you lost. He surprised you not only once. Your rage for humanity blinds and now your hatred of this Jaune Arc is blinding you more so! If you wish to become stronger, you must free yourself of your mask of animosity! See the world for what it truly is!
Wei: See this Jaune Arc for who he truly is.
---------------------------------------------------
Jaune: Ugh, I still can't believe this...
Pyrrha: What's wrong, Jaune? Are you mad we got free snowcones?
Jaune: It's the being free I'm mad about, it's the reason. "Here you are, your majesty"? (Groans) Is this my life now?
Pyrrha: (Pats his back) You saved a lot of people, Jaune. People who will be forever grateful for what you've done in Mallet.
Jaune: I didn't do anything. I just held a sword... lance... drill thing and lucked a killing blow. After I abandoned you guys.
Pyrrha: You didn't abandon anyone. You were needed elsewhere. You abandoned us as much as you abandonded your sister when she got away from Adam Taurus.
Jaune: I... I guess.
Pyrrha: How is she, by the way?
Jaune: Cin-Cin is... Can you promise not to tell anyone?
Pyrrha: I promise. I could give an Arc's word, but...
Jaune: (Chuckles, Sighs) She's doing better, but I can tell she's traumatized by that night. Mom was telling me about how she's been avoiding kids at school. Kids with Faunus traits.
Pyrrha: Oh my...
Jaune: I know she doesn't mean it, and I can't say I blame her. Whenever I think about the White Fang or what that bastard did to her, I- (Crushes cup) ...Dammit.
Pyrrha: Here, let me clean that. (Wipes hand) And you have every right to be angry. What happened that night would be traumatizing for anyone, especially someone as young as your sister. I don't think there's a magical cure for what your sister is feeling, but what she does need is the same as what you need. (Looks at him) Love and support.
Jaune: (Blushes)
Yang: Damn... Pyrrha's making some moves.
Weiss: Is it any different than what any of the rest of you have done?
Mercury: Heh... Burn.
Emerald: Geez... I knew that guy was bad, but leaving a little girl traumatized? Never thought he'd go that far.
Blake: ...
Ruby: Are you okay, Blake?
Blake: ...I have to make things right. For everyone.
---------------------------------------------------
Ozpin: No, no, this isn't right.
Ozpin: Perhaps if I applied fire and ice dust..?
Ozpin: ...
Ozpin: That did nothing. Unexpected.
Cinder: And he's been doing this all day?
Goodwitch: All week. Ever since what happened in Mallet, whenever Jaune Arc has nothing to do after classes, and he has no missions, our headmasters steals away his weapon to run secret investigations on his sheath.
Cinder: And what if Jaune needs his weapon?
Goodwitch: Ozpin has the locker moved up here for "upgrades", and in a distress, has it delayed until Ozpin sets the weapon in and shuts the door. He's also been excused from participating in combat classes until the "upgrades" are installed.
Ozpin: Glynda! Ms. Fall! I'm made a stunning breakthrough in my research! It turns out that all of the dust does absolutely nothing, ergo, Archaic, dust itself is entirely resistant to his sheath- I mean, his sheath is resistant to dust!
Cinder: ...And I should care why?
Goodwitch: I've stopped asking those questions a long time ago.
---------------------------------------------------
Pyrrha: Thank you for the lovely date today, Jaune.
Jaune: Of course, Pyrrha, and, uh, thanks for keeping it on the cheap side and for paying for the snowcones.
Pyrrha: Of course, Jaune. I understand these dates can be very taxing on your wallet.
Jaune: On their own, no. But when you have three in the span of a week.
Pyrrha: (Giggles) I understand. Um, Jaune, do you think we could-
Shishi: Mr. Arc? May I have a word with you?
Jaune: Uh, sure. I'll meet you inside.
Pyrrha: ...Sure. (Opens door) I'll be waiting, Jaune-
Yang: YO! GET IN HERE AND DISH, GIRL!
Pyrrha: (Nervously chuckles) I'm coming! I'll see you soon, Jaune. (Steps inside)
Jaune: You're Shishi, right? From the first year, Team Savage?
Shishi: I'm pleased you remember me, but what I wish to discuss is not a team matter.
Jaune: Oh? Is it about classes? Because first year can be rough-
Shishi: No, no, it's about your social status.
Jaune: Ugh... Look, I know everybody thinks I'm a king, but I'm not. I'm just a regular guy!
Shishi: I know. I am well aware that you are not the king.
Jaune: ...I'm sorry, what?
Shishi: You are not the king.
Jaune: ...Huh. I, uh, wasn't expecting that, but man, does that make my day! Thanks, ma-
Shishi: I must ask that you stop pretending to be.
Jaune: Huh? But... But I'm not pretending. It's everyone else saying-
Shishi: Then make them stop. You're only serving the public by making an ass out of yourself. You're distracting everyone else from the true king.
Jaune: The true king. Look, I don't know-
Shishi: (Steps up to him) Then know this; continue to insult the royal family, and I will see you pay for it with true humiliation.
Jaune: Uh... N-Noted, um, your highness.
Shishi: Oh, I am not the king. (Turns away, Walks away) No, I am but a humble servant of the true crown.
Jaune: ...What the hell is going on?

Alright so @hamelin-born said something about the ‘Ardyn did in fact curse the line of Somnus’ royal bastard au au and how it would be interesting if the curse was forgotten. And then my mind went haywire.
also tagging @raven-6-10 for reasons
-
Ace will not say he hates that he is standing in front of his father. He will not say that he hates it only because it was his choice that led here. It was Ace’s choice to reveal himself to Cor and thus trigger a chain of events that have led to him standing in front of Regis and Noctis in a highly secured room in the Citadel.
Can’t let the public know you have a bastard child, Ace thinks bitterly and waits for the news to process.
“You’re saying we’re cursed?” Noctis sounds bewildered and Ace can’t blame him. Ace himself didn’t believe it at first until his Uncle had recited the curse and Ace felt the magic of it bounce off of him.
Ardyn’s claim it turns out is enough to dissuade the curse from dooming Ace and everyone he cares about but Ardyn has no intention of offering that same protection to either Regis or Noctis so Ace now has to find a way to break his Uncle’s curse.
Ace’s master plan did not account for this. There was no ‘Break In Case of Curse’ option in his plan to break the Crystal open like an egg. He has no idea what the fuck to do but he has to do something.
“Slain ye might be and slain ye shall be,” Ace quotes. Magic rises up around them full of wrath and grief and an unending hatred. “By weapon, and by torment, and by grief; and your houseless spirits shall be barred from Garden and Stream.”
Ardyn’s voice echoes Ace’s as they speak in tandem. Ardyn’s echo full of malice and rage while Ace keeps his voice emotionless. As if he’s reciting a report. “Their rule will drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very peace they sought to pursue. To evil end shall all things turn that they begin well; and by the treason of kin unto kin, and the fear of treason, shall this come to pass. Ye shall dwell in the shadow of death and have no respite. Houseless you shall be now and forevermore. You King has thus spoken.”
The echo of Ardyn’s magic and the full weight of it that was thrown behind the curse lingers in the air after Ace is done speaking. Noctis is frozen and for all his court training Ace can spy the way his hands shake, in fear or anger Ace doesn’t know but he can sympathize.
Regis looks like a wall of ice. His face expressionless but a growing rage lingers in his eyes.
“So,” Ace says, “You two have a problem and my current plans do not account for curse breaking. Thus I need your help to - I don’t know - find a way out of this?”
“You sound oddly calm for someone who is also cursed.” Regis’ eyes are sharp.
Ace shrugs.
“I’m immune to it, call the privilege of not being a legitimate child.” Ace is not telling his biological father about the entire thing between him and Ardyn. He is not doing that.
Regis does not believe him. Just as he should, because Ace is lying. The curse does effect bastard children. But as Ace is the only bastard this time around they don’t need to know that.
“Then do you know who cursed us?”
Ace smiles wryly.
“Who else?” Ace says, “The Sage. The Accursed. Whatever you want to call him. He was rightfully the first king until our asshole grandfather decided to take the throne and kill him.”

He was backed into a corner.
That was how he’d describe the next part of the battle. His friends were down, there was only him standing between Eggman and certain doom. Something the doctor had done had zapped Sonic of his speed; the disgusting ankle bracelets seemed to be the culprit. Tails had been knocked out while working on freeing his best friend. Amy, of great strength like himself, had her hands full just beating back the onslaught of robots that kept coming, but she was young, her strength not quite honed to perfection.
He had no choice.
Knuckles stood by the Master Emerald, fists clenched and teeth gritted as he heard the doctor’s mad laughter, the clanging of Amy’s hammer slamming into metal matching with the lighting storm that came in during the unfolding chaos. The Master Emerald hummed, concerned, its glow a soft reflection of its innermost thoughts. Knuckles had always believed the Emerald “talked” to him, not so much with words but more with pictures, thoughts. The idea that his friends didn’t hear the same thing made him push the childish notion away when he was in their presence, but not today.
There was another bloody battle on its doorstep and it did not want the same outcome as before.
The cold, smooth crystal under his paw glowed and throbbed with the beating of his heart, the rain splattering along the shrine steps sounding like drumming in his head. Knuckles looked at Sonic and Tails, both unconscious, and joined them, letting his rage take over despite being so so scared.
It was the roar that snapped Amy out of her massacre of the Eggbots. Her heart went cold, goose pimples crawling along her skin as she remembered Perfect Chaos, its millennia old rage taking control of it and the ensuing flood of Station Square, threatening the planet. She remembered Super Sonic, the flashes of gold in among the blue and rain, how dashing she thought he’d looked. But Sonic was down for the count, had been for a while now, and she couldn’t count on Tails due to the same reason. Lava flowed freely down the steps of the emerald shrine, entering crevices like it had done it a dozen times before, monsterous hands coming down and crashing into the remaining squadron, melting them away like butter.
“What on earth—“ Eggman cut himself short, turning his mobile around and swearing under his breath.
Perfect Knuckles screeched out a loud roar that shook him.
“O-oh well, I’ll just…”
A hammer found its way to his back, making the doctor flinch and look behind him. Amy had taken the momentary distraction to jump into his cockpit, a growl under her breath that sounded like the same roar happening above them. “Fix it.”
“I can’t.”
“Then try.”
“There’s a time delay on the locks, I can’t just free Sonic—!”
“Then I’ll take care of things.”

𝐏𝐔𝐊𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐎 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒
it's exactly as it says, a compilation of prompts all collected from posts on pukicho's blog! basically just... a lot of chaos. enjoy <3
i feel like, if you scream at a small animal loud enough, it would simply explode.
what is man but an animal playing god?
if you were to vacuum up jello through a metal tube, well, i think that’d be a neat noise.
huh! it really is all about me!
i don't condone anything. i don't care if it's good or bad, i just don't condone it.
i believe that, when we die, we cry in the dirt for eternity, and i welcome it.
i bet you work at the anti-soup kitchen, which steals soups from the poor.
your suffering is my heaven.
no one broods in the 21st century. that's a 19th century and under activity.
i make the bros blush and giggle.
i love how spider-man is kinda like our biggest guy. the greeks had odysseus, we have spider-man. 
i bite my nails sometimes. i yearn for my own bones.
being silly and goofy and getting to help people when they're down? sounds like i win this round, loser.
instead of whoring around, you could learn a musical instrument!
i  would love to visit some innocent happy gnome village and just start stompin'.
if we were all living in the wilderness, natural selection would get you first.
the absence of purpose is enough reason to do whatever the fuck you feel like doing.
i love making shit up and lying to people and never telling them the truth.
feeling very unethical today, might spread hate.
god has granted you the gift of knowledge and yet you shun him.
i went to the doctors, i got my blood drawn. i was extremely brave.
you're my greatest enemy. i will add a single grain of sand to your room every day until you succumb to the desert.
close your eyes and imagine yourself being a more likeable person, and then open them and weep.
your words of defiance bring me ungodly amounts of rage.
i want nothing more than to uppercut you directly to heaven's front door.
i'll outlive this fucking planet if it looks at me the wrong way.
mother earth will cry tears of joy the day you become part of her soil.
i hope you all get stuck somewhere and you have to eat each other to survive.
kids are just like 'ppptppptppthhptpppthh' until one day they’re like 'oh shit i can think' and then it’s all downhill from there.
hey, do you ever feel just so much love in your damn heart that you wanna break something just for fun?
if you kill me, my teeth only have a 2% drop rate. good luck.
beautiful women are always swarming me, saying things like ‘hey [name], why don’t we elope?’ or ‘hey [name], let’s run away and leave it all behind’ and i tell them no, i have a responsibility to verbally abuse people on the internet.
i never sleep. i just die and then wake up in the morning.
if you mean to tell me there ISN’T a ghoul that manifests and wanders the halls in ikea past closing time, then i don’t believe you.
i have too many enchanted crystals and not enough blood sacrifices to do anything with them.
i am going to liquidate all of my assets and use the money to hire hitmen to slap you daily for the rest of your life.

slasher headcannons Request
Request by @eclipsa123 
I would like to know how Michael Myers, Jason Voorhes, Thomas Hewitt, billy Lenz, Yautja, and Vincent Sinclair would react to the death of their s/o after giving birth to their son
Here you go I don’t do many pregnancy tropes because honestly pregnancy is terrifying but this was seemed like it would be interesting to write.
Michael Myers 
- frozen 
- this man shuts down completely. He didn’t show a lot of emotion before but now there is nothing. 
- the only reason he even considered starting a family was because of you.
- he knows that he is not what the child needs and leaves him at the steps of the closes orphanage. 
- he comes back once a year on Halloween to see him. 
- In his mind the child’s name is Allen because that had been the name of your first pet. 
- each year he is reminded of you because your son looks so much like you.   
Jason Voorhees 
- He cries and cries and cries. (you could fill a lake with his tears) 
- mama Voorhees is there to help him. Directing him on how to raise a son. 
- Because of that your son never learns how to properly speak and continues on the family name by “haunting” camp crystal lake. 
Thomas Hewitt/ Bubba Sawyer 
- Bubba like Jason cries a lot but unlike Jason though he goes into a rage based rampage.  Destroying everything he can get a hand on. 
- Luda Mae is the one who takes care of the child making sure that he is fed and looked after. Bubba does not know how to take care of a child but he tries his best.
- As a result of you dying he becomes much more brutal with his killing were before he only did it because his family wanted him to. Now he does it because it is the only thing that can distract him from the huge hole in his heart.  
Vincent Sinclair 
- Just like Michael he would shut down and not believing that he could take care of a child without you gives up your son to  an couple in the next town over that he knows will take care of your son. 
- His art becomes more melancholy and now everything he draws are pictures of you and your son. Most of them are drawings of things that never got to happen. Like you with your sons first steps, you smiling as your son goes to school for the first time. 
- He never gets over you and falls into a deep depression. Then three years later the events of the movie happen.  Killing him and his brother.  
Yautja/ Predator
- In Yautja culture it is the mothers who look after the child but with you dead that would leave the you Predator to raise your son.
- while your yautja would be devastated by your death he would also respect you because it was an honorable death. One that will be remembered on through your son.
 - Your son will grow up to be one of the strongest worrier the tribe as ever seen. Causing other yautja to start looking for human mates

KTHN - Symptoms
aka half the reason I made this goddamned blog. I'm going to level with you if you are experiencing even a fraction of these symptoms you are in so deep that there's no more making your way back to the surface. There's the obvious stuff: Coughing Blood Paranoia Hallucinations Headaches Nausea Exhaustion Trouble Sleeping Nightmares Heightened Emotions (I've reasons to suspect that some entities can even induce/provoke rage in targets.) but, more then that there are so many little things happening in the background you might not even realize are tangentially relevant. Trouble eating, Increased Anxiety and Stress even when the entity isn't present or hasn't been for a period of time. Dehydration Existential Dread Compulsions (the all too familiar drawings of the madman once known as Alex Kralie.) (can't believe I had to double check I spelled his last name right-) Dissociation Auditory Hallucinations Memory Loss Misplacing Objects False Memories or alternatively, remembering something you know to be true only to find out it never happened. Not only that you're symptoms and illness will vary depending on the entity/entities you may personally be experiencing. There are plenty of undocumented cryptids, that the wider public knows nothing about... But I can't speak on that too much, I don't want to accidentally draw the eye of Dr. Sherman. That said your symptoms may vary from person to person, and each encounter may drastically change symptoms. There is... quite a ... controversy amongst the community between what we deem as 'relevant information we need to know' and what is someone else's privacy. So to get this out of the way now. What Jay did to Tim is unacceptable. It was then, and still is now. It doesn't matter if the information was redacted. He was acting recklessly (possibly due to long-term consistent exposure but that isn't an excuse) and He knew better. Tim's history isn't our business, or even Jay's. And I can't believe I have to specify this for the internet. His mental disorder did not get him chosen, nor is it somehow his fault they were attacked because he had a disorder? The fact some of you all believe that is the very reason I need to make this to specify as it was a fairly common belief at the time, and looking back this sort of behavior rooted in ableism has no place in any community. That said, while certain actions or decisions of Tim's could be questioned, this would all be hindsight that he didn't have at the time, and I understand his reasons for why he chose to withhold this information. I do not believe that Tim or Brian are at fault for the events that took place, and while their methods could be questioned, their intentions, I believe, are crystal clear. When dealing with your symptoms, using Alex, Tim, Brian, and Jay as a base board for what sorts of things to look out for is essential. Not all of us are so lucky to come out of this entirely unscathed, and I have more research to do with my own symptoms as a test regarding personality disorders, and how they are effected by the interference. So consider this a part 1 of a topic I will look back on at a later date.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your specific form of the... are we really calling it-.... ok.... "Slender Sickness".... this is why people think we're a fanbase of edgy 13 year old shitposters. ... Perhaps, though, it's better that they do... to know the truth would be just a bit too cruel... if you would like to know more, reply to this post or message me, or Ask anonymously and I will respond as soon as I can!

i honestly want to share my thoughts on apritello bc i’m tired of people hating on it …
i personally don’t think they’re toxic. i used to, during my teen years. i had stopped watching the show because i had nothing to watch it on (didn’t have cable). and everyone online was complaining about apritello like it was the worst. so i took their word for it and didn’t really look into it myself.
but rewatching it recently has made me reflect on it more, and honestly?? while i recognize that they made tons of mistakes in their relationship from season 1 to mid-season 3, i can’t really hate either of them for it. they were KIDS. and kids (and heck, even adults) will make mistakes when dealing with romance for the first time. what matters is that they come to an understanding, meet in the middle, and grow to be better. and watching the second half of season 3 onward, i was convinced by their actions towards each other that they had grown! both as individuals and as a duo. donnie backed off while still caring for her and supporting her, and april had his back too, letting him know when he was too much and showing him care and affection when he needed it.
Tumblr media
actually there’s a quick scene in season 4 episode 1 where in the background, right after casey and donnie hug april in celebration, april gives donnie a look and he backs away apologetically. and then she smiles at him and they continue to celebrate. she’s giving herself boundaries for both of them, and he’s respecting that.
(kinda hard to see but here it is in the background)
Tumblr media
i think the main reason that people feel so icky about them is because there was no scene where the two of them talked about their relationship on camera.
i personally don’t need to see them talk to believe that they grew closer based on their actions alone, but i can see why it would confuse people. but i do believe they talked off camera.
the writers obviously wanted to focus on other plot things instead of on the drama that is apritello, and i blame a lot of that on nickelodeon thinking that they’ll lose viewers if they show a human and a mutant get together.
the only time in the second half of the show where their relationship reaches a danger zone was the whole aeon crystal situation, but i don’t blame april or donnie for what happened. april obviously couldn’t control herself very well, and donnie was trying to respect her boundaries while still making sure she was okay, which proved difficult.
but they got through that. donnie forgave her and never gave up on her, and it was through her affection for him that she beat za-naron. actually even before she was completely possessed, there were moments when she had unbridled rage (toward shinigami), and donnie was the one to take her out of it.
Tumblr media
and from then on they’re almost constantly next to each other.
i do wish we could’ve seen them like,,, actually get together on camera, but i am basically convinced they were dating during season 5.

I figured that, since I've said so many things about Cimarra and Aymeric, it's only fair to give a bit of a background to their relationship. Afterall, it'll be a while before we get to this point in the fanfic, definite slowburn that it is. 😅🤣 I promise to not give out any important spoilers though. Hehehe...
Ahem. Where to begin? Well, Aymeric falls in love first, while it takes Cimarra longer to fall and realize it. She's hesitant to, based off of past experience and witnessing the way her village was. But Aymeric is patient and unwavering in his pursuit, slowly wooing her while showing his determination to commit to her. Cimarra eventually falls, but doesn't realize it until she finds that the rage which arises for his sake is of the same level as for those she considers family. It then takes her a bit to come to terms with it and finally admit that she returns his feelings.
Cimarra desires to have a lover who will stay, not leave. She wants the long-term, not just for a moment or a night. It stems from how Viera males come only when needing to mate, then leave again. So, she has a slight distrust, subconsciously believing that anyone she tries to get involved with will just leave. Looking after Hadrian, she simply uses the excuse that she "doesn't have time" when they ask why she's still alone. Her protectiveness of Hadrian also makes her very selective.
Not only does she not want a man who won't stay, but she's afraid of it happening, and so either doesn't let it reach the relationship point or leaves first. Often times, she doesn't let it start at all. And so, when Aymeric approaches her with sincere and genuine intentions, she isn't quite sure of how to handle it, afraid of it coming to nothing anyway.
Phew... that was a lot... and a bit heavy... Hmm... How about a future snippet from A Warrior's Saga to lighten the mood? Let's say... Cimarra and Aymeric's first meeting? 😏 I'll hide it for those who don't want spoilers, but for those who do read it, enjoy! 🥰
(Oh, some may ask when Cimarra falls for Aymeric. And to that I say...
...Hehehehehehehehe.)
"Cimarra turned at the sound of a door opening. The first thing she saw was a pair of striking blue eyes. When they met with hers, she found herself surprised at her own thoughts.
He’s got honest eyes…
It took her a moment to be able to look away and take in the rest of this new arrival. A tall Elezen, he had short black hair with a bit of wave that framed his face. Her gaze caught on the single blue crystal earring hanging from his left ear before moving on to take in his armor, adorned with gold plating and accents, interwoven with black cloth and a sapphire blue robe. 
She quite liked the ensemble, though she oddly found herself following the lines of blue all the way back up to his eyes. 
The pondering of why could wait until later though.
Haurchefant watched Cimarra with great interest, noting how her eyes hadn’t left Aymeric since he’d walked in. 
“Commander Leveilleur. It is both an honor and pleasure to meet you,” he greeted Alphinaud. Then his gaze flicked back to Cimarra before centering on Alphinaud. “I am Aymeric, lord commander of the Temple Knights.”
“Alphinaud Leveilleur, at your service,” Alphinaud said with a smile. “Your reputation precedes you, Ser Aymeric. I think we will find that we have much in common.”
Aymeric gave a nod. Finally, he was able to have a legitimate reason for his eyes to linger on the one who’d caught his attention since he’d entered the room. Golden hair shimmering with silver flowed over her shoulders, partially pulled back and decorated with three white flowers. But some strands still drifted around to frame her face and enchanting blue eyes.
So absorbed in her was he that Aymeric failed to notice Haurchefant’s amused grin off to the side.
“Speaking of reputations,” he said upon finding his voice, “yours towers over us all. Does it not?” It was not hard for him to see why. Her reaction intrigued him. She did not blush, as he might have expected. Instead, one of her long leporine ears twitched while merriment faintly glittered in her eyes. 
Aymeric forced himself to glance at the taciturn Temple Knight standing beside him so he wouldn’t be caught staring. 
“It does indeed, Lord Commander.”
Haurchefant nodded happily in agreement. 
His gaze returning to Cimarra, Aymeric chose to admit a slightly embarrassing secret to her, wondering what her reaction would be this time. “I am not too proud to admit that I have followed your activities with an interest bordering on fascination. Full glad was I to learn that you would be joining us.”
Now, this did slightly surprise Cimarra. She blinked a few times, confused by the odd feeling in her stomach. The way he looked at her so steadily, so focused, made her wary. But his soft smile and warm aura lured her in. 
While Cimarra was struggling with herself in a state of confusion, Aymeric broke the silence before it could grow awkward.
“Now then, shall we begin?”"

FFXIVWrite 2023 DAY 20 - HAMPER
AKA "Rhiki no!"
(This one is a little last-minute and half-baked because I had some kind of crazy and stressful stuff going on at work [and yesterday's will have to be my make-up for the week because I had to work from 8:30 am to 9:00 pm so I was too tired to write when I got home.] So have a little scene I envisioned when playing through the Stormblood Dark Knight questline. Rhiki is suddenly so full of bloodlust.)
Rating: Teen Characters: Z'rhiki Irhi (Warrior of Light), Sidurgu Orl, Rielle de Caulignont Word Count: 1,316 Content Warnings: Swearing
Life had been difficult since Haurchefant’s death. It had been difficult in all of the ways loss usually was, fraught with anguish, sorrow, and grief. He wasn’t the first person she had lost, and, as unpleasant as the feelings were, they were not entirely unfamiliar to her. It had also, however, been difficult in entirely new ways. In the aftermath, she had contended not only with sadness and regret, but anger. White-hot anger that seared through her chest and up into her throat. Swelling, uncontainable anger that made her want to scream until her voice gave out, or smash something with every onze of force she could muster – anything to get the anger out of her, even if she knew it would just make room for more. It was simultaneously primordial and completely alien, and it scared her.  
She had experienced pain and grief before becoming the Warrior of Light, but the causes were always nebulous, a confluence of personal choices and random circumstance that fermented into a tragedy. Sometimes, terrible things just happened, for no real reason, even to good people, and it was no one’s fault, really. There was no one person to blame, no villain to rage against. Just the inexorable chaos of the universe.  
Haurchefant’s death, though, was different. It had not only been someone’s fault, it had been intentional. There was a person, then an institution, on which to focus all of those swirling negative emotions, crystallizing them into rage. All of the heart-wrenching agony had a target. Someone that needed to be punished. 
The anger, however, did not die with Ser Zephirin, or Thordan, or the rest of the Heavensward. Even as their glittering aether dissipated into the air, the fury raged on. The evildoers were vanquished, and could do no more harm. Yet she was still so angry! But who was left to blame? Aymeric? Herself? No. In truth, there was no one. There was nowhere to direct such anger, and yet it festered in her chest, screaming to be released. 
She had tried to swallow those feelings, to press them down so far into her chest that they would never see the light of day. Even if she couldn’t hide them from herself, she could certainly shield others from them. How could she tell her friends, or anybody, about them, after all? Everyone believed she was a hero, that she was a good person. But surely a hero – surely a good person – couldn’t possibly have such ugliness buried inside them. What would they think of her if they could see the anger smoldering within her, like crackling embers awaiting a sudden updraft? 
It had taken her own reflection to teach her that that wasn’t sustainable. Shoving that anger down would only burn her alive from the inside. It had been a hard lesson to learn, but seeing her own face before her as she might see another person’s, the face of someone who was lost and hurting, had driven it home like a nail through her heart. It hadn’t been easy – it still wasn’t easy – but she was learning to be kind to herself. She had to give herself the grace she would show another girl, just like her, were the situation different. She at least had to try, anyway. This realization had helped to temper the rage, not by forcing it into submission but by acknowledging it, and recognizing it for what it was: pain. She now let such feelings wash over her, through her, without getting stuck in her heart or her throat where they might once again take root. It no longer built up inside of her, no longer needed to be vented to prevent her from exploding. She still felt it, of course, but it never made her ache for violent, bloody vengeance. 
That was what she told herself, at least. Which had been all well and good right up until she saw Ignasse. Until she saw that blue and white armor. 
She hadn’t even known Ignasse. He had been but one face among the many that had been absorbed into Thordan’s primal. Yet even still, it was like someone had pulled a lever inside of her that opened all of the floodgates. The hounds that had been sleeping quietly within were once again baying for blood. She lunged before she even realized what she was doing, fury singing through her veins once more. 
By the grace of the Twelve and Sid’s own quick reflexes, her friend was able to grab her before she had made it more than a few steps. Realizing upon doing so that she fully intended to fight for her freedom, he wrapped both arms around her in a more serious attempt to restrain her. Still, she thrashed about wildly in his grip, and he struggled to keep hold of her despite his great size advantage. 
“Let go of me, Sid!” She almost screamed, instead spitting out the words to keep them at a more reasonable volume. Sid didn’t comply with her orders, but made a sound of aggravation as she continued striving to free herself. She hadn’t even grabbed her sword; she was going to kill him with her bare hands if she could. 
“What in the name of the Fury-“ he hissed, voice strained. He readjusted his grip on her, and she tried to slam her foot down onto his despite the fact that they were both wearing metal sabatons. “Rhiki! Stop it! Hey!” She elbowed him in her attempts to escape. 
“What in the hells?! So when you want to kill someone it’s fine but when I want to suddenly it’s-“ 
“Rhiki, please calm down!” Rielle had also leapt into action when she saw the  alarming fluctuation in Z’rhiki’s behavior. She had dashed in front of the grappling pair, placing herself between Rhiki and the conjured man consoling his bereaved cousin, hoping to further hamper her efforts. Luckily, they had been watching the scene unfold from such a distance that the pair, with their backs mostly turned, didn’t seem to notice the small scuffle that had broken out. 
“Stay out of it! Both of you!” She growled, though with her voice’s high pitch and lilt it sounded less than threatening. “How dare that little shit use my aether to bring back a fucking Knight of the fucking Heavens’ Ward!” 
Earlier, she had been happy to help the boy, Myste, fulfill his strange purpose, despite the theft of her aether. He was a bit odd, to be sure, but she had felt that his heart was in the right place. This, though? This was too far. 
She renewed her struggle, and Sid had to almost lift her off the ground to keep her from pulling herself out of his grasp. “Not. Happening.” He grunted through gritted teeth, clearly frustrated. 
“Rhiki please!” Rielle begged again. “Myste is just trying to help! I’m sure of it! We don’t even know what’s really going on! If you’ll just calm down we can sort everything out, I know we can!” 
Though the words themselves did little to stem the tide of Rhiki’s anger, the pleading tone of her voice seemed to reach her, and her writhing subsided, if only a little, allowing Sid to grab a firmer hold of her. “Look!” He said, keeping his voice low, “It looks like they’re finishing up! At least let him get out of sight of his grieving relation. Then you can kill him.” 
This sounded to her like a much more reasonable proposal, and she stilled in his arms. “Fine,” she relented, voice still frayed from the exertion. “Now will you let go of me already?” 
This time Sid did release her, but kept his hands on her shoulders should she decide to make another dash for the man. She took a few deep breaths, but still seethed. 
“That boy has some explaining to do.”
