There's literally nothing I love more than language. Writing Viking!Soap is such a fucking treat for me, I am going to learn old Nordic by the end of this and it will be a complete accident.

Reader speaks nordic but on a very basic level, just enough to understand what the men are saying. Just enough to diagnose injuries. They'll get better over the course of the fic but like!! Oooooh I am having fun with them and their mistranslations. I love words with multiple meanings, I love the other vikings knowing what's up and reader being fucking clueless.

#ghoul speaks #insane for this au #sorry I'm going to just be dummy about soap for a while

me: yeah I know making OC babies for my ship is a bit niche in fandoms and some even consider it cringe, and yeah I know it probably wouldn't happen in canon the way it happens in my head if at all so it's really just wishful thinking, but it makes me really happy and provides a safe outlet to explore my silly fluffy feelings, so I'm gonna do it anyways even though I know it's just projection :)

Nion would be actually pretty funny were Luke Castellan to be alive bc like. Just think about what it would be like to have Luke, the No.1 hater of the gods, to meet with Aeon - the *somewhat?* No.1 primordial god AND also the No.1 hater of the gods.

Not mentioning Aeon's face is the same as Percy, Luke's downfall in personification, minus the color palette.

Not mentioning Aeon's true name is Chronos and then there's Kronos inside Luke and you can't possibly tell me there isn't at least one time they're like "

"You can't be Kronos. I have Kronos in my body" "It's Chronos, not Kronos, you uncultured swine"

(ok he would not say that but my linguistic skill precedes me atm alright)

#tbh i think Aeon would bond w Luke...? Like they both despite the gods on a certain level. They both hate how gods treat the demigods #(which is only Nico in Aeon's case but we digress lmao)#And it's not like Aeon is any interested in ruling the world whatsoever I'm pretty sure he'd just leave it to crumble as long as he's got N #They're both charming sue me.#so if Aeon was there w Luke he might just went “I'll help you wipe out the gods as long as u can convince Nico to go with me” boom the end.#smh you should have called for Chronos not Kronos. Luke you dummy.#primordial god! chronos x ananke! nico #chronos #luke castellan #nico di angelo

I think I may have come up with the best worst tma time travel “fix-it” au (imho)

Inspired by Ketakoshka's 'dread spawn' idea in their dread child jon series, Dribbledscribbles' origin story for the dread powers and extinction entity interpretation in their extinction!jon fic (and some more of the latter in their post-eyepocalypse fic too), as well as my own love for making unholy (aka fun) fusions of things and sandboxing eldritch interactions with the 'mundane' . . .

. . . I have created a post-canon, Somewhere Else, time travel ""fix-it"" story that I think might be unique (at least I've never seen any fics like it– but if I'm wrong then please please share the link!! or dm me if it's your own work hehe but no pressure!!)

(mag 160+ spoilers after this point!)

(i'm about to wax poetics here (hopefully coherently)—so you can read the story-ramble OR you can scroll to the TL;DR at the bottom to skip it & spoilers to read the nutshell & see if you're interested :3)

so get this...

The big Change happens right? But this time the Extinction is a bigger player in the game than canon, and ultimately deeply marks Jon throughout the eyepocalypse.

So when the finale happens, since Jon is now connected to the epicenter of the whole show, his 'death' and the panopticon's destruction has the simultaneous effect of baiting the Dread Powers into the Hole (via his voice in the spools of tape)– and also killing everyone trapped by the Dread Powers in the world via Jon the walking detonator thanks to being entrenched in the Extinction's influence. —Combining both his best and worst plans and realizing his worst nightmare: killing everyone and spreading the Powers to an unknown number of worlds to wreak even more havoc.

How did this happen?

Simple—but first some backstory for context.

The Extinction was more of a 'lurker', much less "outgoing" than its 'siblings'. And when it was "grandiose", well. . . it tended to leave no survivors. Thus its unrecognition by those like Robert Smirke or Jürgen Leitner.

To go back even further, the Dread entities were originally one cohesive entity with many faces and limbs. Its faces reflected the same developmental complexity as the sources of their manifestation. So those with the most diverse species feeding them held the widest capacities. Namely: the Hunt, End, and Extinction. But being a singular entity, it didn't mean much.

But as human species' family lines develop and grow more complex cognitive ability, more esoteric Dreads developed, and more faces become more complex. And the Extinction was right there from the beginning as more species died out one by one. Quietly. (...maybe? 👀)

Over time humans discovered the Powers and bonded with them, then started to classify them. From here, the Dread entity fragmented into Dread entities.

They developed their own 'consciousnesses' distinct from the hive 'mind' they once were. And, eventually, sapience. Self-awareness. Desires. Personalities. But they were still connected, part of the 'system'.

The Extinction and the Web (newer, but always sapient) are a quirky pair, the Web seeking control over everything and the Extinction seeking ultimate entropy and change upon its catastrophe.

It's hard to distinguish the Extinction exactly, its work misidentified for others with few under its own unique umbrella. Things 'unique' to it get missed due to being a misnomer and not getting clocked. (But that is the nature of the Dread Powers after all.. being a fragmentation of their original singular mass.)

...

The Extinction represents the fear of disaster that will bring about the end of everything—everything you know, love, need to survive. Everything you built, worked for, hoped for. The destruction of stories and of life, of the very history written by your land—your home.

Your community. Your society. Your species.

You.

Annihilated in totality.

The Extinction represents the fear of those that come after you to replace you—worse than you, different from you. Leaving you and your history and stories (the driver of your continued existence) forgotten forever. The fear of life moving on after you, ignorant and apathetic. Your story meaningless, irrelevant.

Your community's story. Your society's story. Your species' story.

Your story.

Erased and written over.

The Web represents the fear of being controlled, fate being out of your hands—by malevolent authorities out of reach, by abusive companions or relatives, by invisible forces far beyond the human comprehension. Spinning, winding, twisting, pulling each decision in your life made for you. Until destruction of the self by your own hand.

Your struggle for change futile. Your feet following the same path. Your fate determined for you.

You forfeit control—your feet march you to your bitter demise.

The Web represents the fear of being conspired against. Scheming, plotting, planning your downfall. The loss of everything you hold dear, worked for, bled for. Spinning, twisting, scripting lies about you. Your credibility falls to pieces, your world shatters, and your story distorts.

You are kept alive by the spreading of your story. And the people have decided to trust the manufactured tale.

You are forgotten—twisted into an image of something wrong.

...

Sometimes they're at odds. Where one seeks to manipulate the threads of everything endlessly, the other seeks to destroy it all so thoroughly, with such finality, as to mutate it– the schemes, the pawns, the gameboard itself.

Sometimes they're complementary. Where you watch as you lose everyone you cared for one by one, spiraling down a path darker into entropy, the irreversible nightmare, and wondering if you ever really had free will in the first place– if anyone did.

What if the end for you really was just another game to them? What if this wasn't their first round? What if you're just the next step in the grand scheme, larger than even your own universe?

Alright, now with that out of the way, let's bring back the question.

How did the Extinction change Jon, and how did this cause the altered result of the finale?

The Web has been there since the near beginning, pulling Jon along and guiding him to his next milestone in the plot. She had known the world would come to an end one way or another, and wanted to bring it about on her own terms so that she—they all—could escape it.

So when the Web saw what the Eye was doing, she had an idea. So she aided their acolytes, seeing her sibling as the perfect way to bring all of them together for the final step. And the Web set her own card onto the board: Jon.

Jon had a natural disposition for the Eye; from stubborn curiosity to the reckless pursuit for answers to even the coldest cases. Whether he knows it or not, his mind is a gaping maw for horrible knowledge—chasing after experiences disguised as answers to his burning questions so dreadful they leave scars on him like sigils of a looming doom.

While he has no affinity for the Web's machinations, he is still hers. She has no issue with guiding agents from across the court, she knows how to share. Especially when it benefits her. Jon archives each event, every little detail, with such care and readiness that he makes the perfect vessel to pull them in—to guide them out. He'd flourish best as her tool in the Watcher's sphere.

After the Watcher's Crown and the Dread Powers came into the world, the Extinction started to make its presence known. It seeped into other Domains and fed on the people's dread for permanent catastrophic change, on their fear of ruin and total desctruction. And as Jon traversed them and lived through their fear, so was he marked by the Extinction.

It seeped into his skin like oil and burned through his veins like acid. It tainted his trails with the radioactivity of human hubris and greed, twisting and mutating both the mundane and Dreadful as he passed. It closed its grasp on him with the tightness plastic rings and infected his Perceived routes with the stench of mountainous landfill and the thickness of city smog.

The Web and the Extinction had a complex relationship, but in this moment they guided the Archivist in synchronous song like a soldier being led to his final mission: dropping the nuclear bomb.

Did Jon know?

...

No.

The twines of manipulation layer labyrinthine over everything, above and below and through every angle and dimension. Even the Nigh-Omniscient Antichrist and his All-Knowing God will never fathom its depths.

He might never know that he helped start the Extinction's ritual: Raze the Earth.

Or that both the Web and the Eye knew and did nothing. (honestly, the latter's only there for the show)

So when Martin stabbed Jon and Melanie lit the gas mainline, the threads around the world snapped and the glowing light of humanity's greatest sins exploded over everything—

—and they prayed—

—and they wept—

—and the Dreads rushed out torrentially. (pulling a few strays with them)

Now for the part you were all waiting for (well I was)—the Heart of this AU

The Dread Powers and the ones who were dragged with them were transported Somewhere Else– a parallel world in a parallel universe. But they were. . . Changed from their previous/original selves.

The tag-alongs—Martin & Jon of course, but also Annabelle Cane, Oliver Banks, Simon Fairchild, and Arthur Nolan—replaced their parallels at birth, and gained partial or full amnesia to their past lives. But their personalities are altered, reflecting some aspects of their pre-finale personalities.

Except for Jon. Jon, the Pupil of the Eye, the Warhead of the Extinction, the Spools of the Web, the Archive of the Dreads and linchpin to their escape. . . was significantly destroyed in the center of the storm. He got it and so much worse—a stick so short its existence was inverted.

While they did get reach the new universe, they had to reconstruct their linchpin/Archive that they're still connected to so that his total destruction doesn't tear them apart as well (being an Extinction avatar that's now deeply connected with them, he's capable of "taking them down with him").

When Jon was reborn, he was literally thrown into the world like a meteorite, landing with an explosive blast that rendered the surrounding area a lifeless wasteland in moments. High radioactivity and a deathly curse left few flora or fauna returning before wasting away soon after. Those that 'survived' did so by being infected by the Extinction or Corruption.

It would permanently remain uninhabitable, and it would take months before the withered stillborn spawn of the sapient eldritch Dread Entities would crawl out of the jagged crater on its own, none the wiser to its tragedies.

TL;DR

The Web manipulated Jon's attempt to put a stop to the Entities' reign, utilizing the Eye's easy influence to help the Dreads escape the world and into a fresh new one before they were also destroyed in the Extinction's "Raze the World" ritual (set up by using Jon to weave toxic-filled veins throughout the world he was traversing that'll explode at once 'grand finale' style).

Jon, now deeply binded to the Entities' purest forms and still an Extinction time-bomb, was mostly destroyed during the trip to Somewhere Else and the Entities had to reconstruct him so his death wouldn't destroy them too. This led to Jon being reborn a near completely different being (with some of him preserved) as functionally the direct spawn of the Dread Powers, replacing his parallel counterpart from the new world.

The other day, I was doomscrolling on Reddit when I bumped into a post about CC and after reading and interacting in the comments I felt that people judge her too harshly and they don't really understand her character 😭

C'mon, guys, two wrongs don't make one right. No, CC didn't deserve to be bullied all the time. There were pranks that IRL would be interpreted as assault! Besides, she was often insulted just for being her. Yeah, she was the main antagonist and yeah, she had a rather unpleasant personality (especially in the first seasons). Like, it's a moot point to discuss that, but the "good people" also had their shortcomings lol Sometimes they also acted selfish or were kinda of aloof (quick examples here, Fran post-season 3 and her obsession with the "take it back"... and now I reference it, Max's emotional immaturity too. Fran sometimes wasn't a good "bestie" for Val...). Yet, their faults are overlooked while CC's ones are not.

She is what she is, but, to quote herself, "I'm not a well woman". Do you expect a person of her social class, who was basically raised by nannies (divorced and "busy" parents who compensated with throwing a lot of money, standoffish siblings), to become a nice woman and for that bullying is justified? CC's treatment by the audience is a little bit unfair, imo 🥺

Also a gif below from @sayingitwithgifs I find useful to illustrate my wall of text

#end of rant #cc babcock #the nanny #cc my beloved #standing for CC she's my baby 🥺#she needs a hug #i'm cc's advocate #niles I love you too but sometimes you went too far #i want to believe you recognised it and she forgave you #my dummy twins headcanon!#i'm not a native English speaker just to let ya know

New chapter of Bites coming out most likely later this week and even though the story is fully planned out, the reason it's taking a minute is because I'm doing the classic thing of thinking about too many projects at once. Like, the pendulum of focus won't settle, it's an issue.

I'm writing a long one shot exploring a future where He Tian only reappears a couple weeks at a time while they're stuck in an angsty situationship, it's currently sitting at 20k words but no clue where it'll be when I'm done with it, some parts are still pretty unfinished.

I also have started two fics that make me kick my feet in excitement, one being a long enemies to lovers mafia AU with spying and skyscrapers climbing, the other being a babyfic that I'd love to dive into whenever I have the time.

I might want to add a ZhengYi counterpart to Tangerines too, I'll see where the pendulum takes me.

#19 days #fic #fic diary kinda #eyeballing probably something closer to 20 chapters for Bites after all #ngl I'm stuck on the smut scenes for the one shot #legit admirative of those who can write them smoothly because I'm here wishing I'd have a 'how to write corn for dummies'#but anyway that's the plan #won't start uploading another multichaptered one before I'm done with Bites but after that I'm going all in on the mafia thing #drugs and guns baby #and the babyfic makes me squeal I can't wait to have that one completed too #aiming for a very long one shot or something like 5 long chapters max #just dying to make them impromptu dads

i understand the impulse to want to humanize or sympathize with johan (in naoki urasawa's monster) and i do think there are some story beats and elements that promote such thoughtfulness towards the character but i feel like doing that too much to johan is a complete detriment towards the main themes of the story and a disservice to the arcs of like. every other major character. "johan was right," "johan did nothing wrong..." but like. he wasn't right. he did do things that were wrong.

like the worse of a person he is (worse spoken in relative terms, but you know what i mean) the more significance is given to the other characters in the story, ESPECIALLY nina and tenma. like nina being the one who went through the trauma of the red rose mansion and johan being only a reflection of it, and then nina also being the one to forgive him… if johan was "in the right" then what nina goes through and what she ultimately ends up doing loses all of its weight!!

and the same goes for tenma!! through the entire story he tries to steel himself and "take responsibility" for bringing this "monster" back into the world, surrounded by people who care about him and who don't want him to take that step from being a doctor that saves to someone who kills. and then tenma comes to the conclusion that, yeah, he IS a doctor, and what he does IS save people, regardless of who they are. again, if johan is "right," that loses so much of its meaning!!

even like. with dieter and wolfgang who explicitly go through experiences that directly parallel what johan has experienced wrt kinderheim 511 and then like. choosing to be good anyway. basically if johan "right" then why dieter and wolfgang and nina.

and going further w that it's like. the lack of real "reason" behind johan's actions work as an exploration of the senselessness of "evil" and the importance of thoughtfulness towards oneself and others in the choice to be kind!! he can still be a good and compelling antagonist without being somehow "correct"

i just. idk johan isn't like. a "good person" or someone who has done "right" things or suffered the correct amount to "justify" being forgiven and saved. bc it's about nina and tenma making those choices for themselves bc of who THEY are, not who johan is.

#IDK MAN don't listen to me i'm just a dummy having like. surface level thoughts i'm just thinking abt what makes monster interesting for me #maybe i just like straightforward terrible johan bc i like nina and tenma more and their characters benefit more the worse johan is LOL #anyway this ended up so much longer than i thought it would oops #contra.txt #naoki urasawa #naoki urasawa's monster
