I was really curious about what your opinions on the DAO companions are :) I know we have talked about some, but I'd love to hear more and about the others as well :D I hope it's ok to pose this as an ask :)

Sure! That sounds like a ton of fun. This might be a long one tho. Mind you, this is not the finished version of the answer. I'd like to link stuff and add a cut, but rn that's not possible. I'll update it when I can.

Edit: I have updated it ^^

Let's go alphabetically bc why not.

Alistair:

Sweet guy. So sweet. There was a moment when I was hard pressed chosing between him and Zevran (alas, Zevran won). Also, he's weirdly tall according to the wiki? How did I not notice that before?

Let's get a bit more serious now, Alistair is a great guy. The only reason he's not the hero of the story is because he doesn't want to. He has all the qualities of a leader: he's good at dealing with conflict (as evident with the conversation with the mage at the beginning. He gets where he wants to get without antagonizing the mage, but without allowing him to trample all over him). He's a solid tactitian and knows how to make allies (he suggests to use the Grey Warden treaties, after all). I bet if he was in the leadership position, he'd even not bicker with Morrigan. His moral code is pretty tight; some might say too tight, but I think it's less about the moral code and more about learning to judge people by their actions, not by the labels they fit into (Morrigan is a proud apostate and therefore bad. Wynne is a humble circle mage and therefore good). He also has a bit of a black-and-white way of seeing the world. I empathize a lot with Alistair, especially with his experience with the Chantry and his subsequent reluctance to deal with it. I really wish I had gotten to know more about concrete experiences he had during his training as templar, but he seems reluctant to talk about it (gee, I wonder why).

Since I've only played the game once, I haven't really picked up on Arl Eamon's abuse towards him, which apparently exists (Isolde, however... I mean, even if he were Eamon's illegitimate son, he's a kid, ma'am, he didn't exactly get to chose his parents. So that's so not okay). Alistair's way of speaking about them both, however, is either sign that he has not come within a hundred miles of acknowledging how much it hurt him, or that he's already gone through the whole process and has decided to forgive them. The latter shows a very strong character; yes, he relies on the approval and leadership of others, he has his issues, but he's already started working on them.

That being said, irl Alistair would be like a little brother to me. I'd tease him relentlessly (all in good fun and I promise to stop if it makes him uncomfortable, but he's just so teasable). I still wish the videogame gave him the chance to take important decisions for himself. But that, of course, would somewhat defeat the point of the game.

Leliana:

Another sweet, sweet person. Her singing voice is amazing. Her belief in the Maker inspires me (I'm a religious person and seeing religious characters represented in a positive light is Very Cool. It's also sometimes a source of discomfort, because the Church has done a lot of very messed up stuff and positive representation can sometimes veer into apologetics for things that should not be excused, but that's a whole other can of worms. The bottom line is that religious characters sometimes work for me and other times don't and Leliana works for me very much bc she's an outsider inside the Chantry).

Leliana is best friend material, tbh. I'd love to get to know her irl, discuss theology and philosophy and maybe even politics? She makes mistakes and has prejudices, but, tbh, so do I. And I do get the feeling that she tries her best to learn. From the times she intervenes in a conversation between the Warden and an NPC, she shows herself to be compassionate and open to the needs of others. What I get from her character is that she genuinely wants to help, which is something that I adore of her. I suspect that she sometimes has a hard time deciding wether she's a good person or not. She has killed and seduced and worked for a morally dubious person, and she doesn't show the same nonchalance about it as Zevran (though they both do discuss their line of work in very... professional terms). This is, however, more of a headcanon than actual factual canon.

I also very much enjoy her girly side, like her interest in shoes and dresses. She's one badass woman who also looses her cool about the latest fashions in Val Royeaux. I like that. Between her and Alistair, a non human noble Warden has as good a help to navigate the Fereldan court as they're going to get. Leliana is also, I can't forget that, clever and insightful. It'd be easy to write her off as the innocent chantry girl, but she's so much more than that. Her kindness is paired with foresight, I think. She knows that taking on the trouble to help now can go a long way in the future. I just have a lot of respect for her.

Loghain:

This one's gonna be short bc I didn't recruit him. He's an amazing villain and would probably be a great Warden as well. He reminds me of Denerhor from LOTR; once a hero/stewart of his people, ambition and desperation have driven them both down a terrible path. I have also only little idea about his past. People say he lost a lot, and I believe it wholeheartedly; it doesn't excuse the fact that he plunged the country into a civil war in the middle of a Blight. I don't have a lot of sympathy for short-sighted politicians. I wish he hadn't made himself regent. That's what I take away from his character.

Edit: One thing I forgot to mention that really impressed me was his death. I had Alistair duel him (that was a rough duel), and then it kinda just jumped to a cutscene of my Warden nodding and Alistair executing him. That didn't sit well with me. I didn't want to kill Loghain, and less so in front of Anora. But what impressed me was that Loghain just accepted it. That takes a whole lot of guts. Compare that to Howe's death, and how he screams out that he deserved (more, probably, or anything but death) and it's crystal clear who the more noble of the two is. Loghain strikes me as very lawful neutral, and any neutral alignment has the particularity that it can be dragged towards good or bad, sometimes without the characters noticing it (which is interesting from a DnD perspective; neutral is often concieved of as just as stable as good or evil, but that may not be true. But that's a different post). Anyway, Loghain's death was impactful.

Morrigan:

I could kick myself for not maxing out her approval in the first play-through. I got to enjoy a bit of her friendship by the end of it and boy was even that little bit worth it. Friendship with Morrigan is something that is hard-won. It's all the more precious because of that.

Morrigan is full of paradoxes, I think. She's incredibly wise in some ways, yet also very short-sighted (”just kill them, don't solve their problems”. Morrigan, dear, I'm not going to gain a lot of allies if I kill everybody who poses a problem to me). She is so intelligent, but emotionally... not so. She knows so much about some things, and very little about the next. She's incredibly wilful and knows what she wants, but follows Flemeth's orders all the time through. She hungers for power and independence, yet craves closeness, but won't allow herself to have it. She asks you to prove yourself to her and is extremely critical of your actions, I think, because she's afraid. She bites the hand that feeds her because it might hit her next.

Like with Eamon, I haven't managed to catch the undercurrent of abuse that seems to permeate Flemeth's relationship with Morrigan. Except there are signs, because there must be something Morrigan is scared of and who has instilled all that rage in her, and that's Flemeth. Also, she clearly hates/does not care about her and wants her dead (unless killing Flemeth was part of Flemeth's plan as well? Hm.)

Morrigan is that one person who you are nice to, continuously, because nobody else is. And suddenly she becomes less cold. And then friendly. And suddenly you're asking yourself why everybody hates her, because she's a really good friend! I just wish the other companions came to a similar conclusion, especially Alistair and Wynne.

Oghren:

They did this man dirty. He has such great lines and I'm convinced he was a great person before Branka disappeared. He has that dwarven warrior spirit, and while he looks like Gimli, some of his most impactful lines remind me of Dwalin or even Thorin Oakenshield himself. He could be so noble had he gotten some character development, damnit!

Oghren as he is written is somewhat disgusting. I hate the lechering comments and the drunkenness. And still, I don't hate him because of those amazing lines he has when he's actually sober. It's frustrating and I'll give him that character development myself if the game won't. I strongly associate the song Whiskey Lullaby with him, bc that's how he would have ended up if the Warden hadn't taken him along (warning: the song talks about suicide and alcoholism). Like I said, they could have done such cool things with his character. As he is written now... it's just sad. Moments of lucidity drowned in alcohol and creepy jokes. As you can see, I don't blame the character for either. The alcoholism happens all too often irl. The creepy jokes... I put that one on the writers' tab.

I actually think Oghren could have been a great mentor figure (I know, I shock myself as well sometimes). Next to the Grey Wardens, the ones who know most about fighting darkspawn are the dwarves because they have to deal with them constantly. Especially a warrior caste dwarf like Oghren could have brought a lot of that invaluable knowledge to the team, especially since there are no Grey Wardens in Ferelden but two extremely green recruits. Next, you get the chance to give Oghren the command of the teammates you leave behind in the battle of Denerim with the reason that he has lead men into battle before. Where did that suddenly come from? Oghren should have been right up there telling my Warden that they were doing this wrong, that they needed more food (and booze) and a confident leader to keep the armies they've called together going. Oghren should have been able to tell my civilian city elf who got recruited into the Grey Wardens a six months ago how one leads an army. How one presents oneself to inspire confidence, how one doesn't crack under the pressure, how one gets the leaders of said armies (some who hate each others guts i.e. Dalish elves and humans) to work together. And, last but not least, Oghren could have had a great story about grief. This is a man who has lost most of what made him (and what he hasn't lost he's spilling down the drain with every mug of ale). This is a man who, if you take him into the Deep Roads, has to see what his wife did to his family, how his wife got absolutely obsessed, and can be forced to kill said wife or watch her die. All Wardens loose their home and families at the start of the story. It would really have rounded the whole narrative out if the Warden and Oghren could have recognised their grief in each other and hashed it out somehow. Such as it is, Oghren is a depressed drunkard and there is nothing we can do about that. I find that frustrating.

Rascal (a.k.a. Dog):

Best boy. 100/10. I wish we had gotten to see the reaction of the different origins to the mabari (because elves probably have a whole different experience with them from mages or humans. And dwarves just... I think they straight up have none? XD). Other than that, no complaints. The name Rascal was the one I gave my dog because you have to be a right rascal to survive what he did and play the pranks he plays. Smartest breed in the world indeed.

Shale:

Shale is one of those characters that I recruited rather late in the game, so I haven't had the chance to explore their personality and worldview, really. I didn't even get to take them to the Deep Roads (this will be ammended in playthrough nr. 2). As such, I don't have particularly strong opinions on them (or her? The wiki refers to Shale as 'it', but that sounds weird). But, because I know so little about Shale, I have a lot of questions. First, what were they like before they were a golem? Shayle, as she was called then, was the best warrior of her time if I remember correctly. Why did she become a golem? Was it to be able to eternally protect her people? Was the sarcasm the golem Shale exhibits also part of the dwarven warrior Shayle or did that come later (if for thirty years you have nobody to talk to but yourself, you better be entertaining. And I can imagine how it could make somebody terribly jaded as well).

Next, how attached is Shale to their golem form, exactly? According to the banter, they infinitely prefer it to a squishy fleshy form. If that is the case, however, why go to Tevinter to try and become a squishy dwarf again? It's not like that process could be reversed if they wanted to become a golem again; if Shale survives to the end of the game, the Anvil of the Void is destroyed and Caridin is dead. Was the whole spiel about their indestructible form a façade? It might have been, but not because Shale actually disliked their form. I think it would have more to do with the loss of their memories and with the very invasive experiments and alterations of Shale's body made by the mage Wilhelm. The loss of memories means that Shale is unable to remember life as a fleshy creature. They might be deflecting by pretending that they didn't care for that experience anyway because of the superiority of their golem form. The modifications made to their form by Wilhelm would have alienated them from their body. In light of this, it's significant that Shale asks the Warden to decorate their form with crystals.

All of this is, of course, pure speculation. I may have easily missed or forgotten details that would disprove the above thoughts. All in all, I like Shale and I hope we meet them again in DA4 (given that it's mostly set in Tevinter). It's a liking from a respectful distance, because Shale is tall and made out of rock and also way more experienced than I will ever be (they are literally the oldest member of the Warden's little Blight fighting squad).

Sten:

Sten is another person I'd keep a respectful distance from physically. That seems to be the what he would prefer, at least. I've enjoyed his character a lot, especially because he seems pretty clear-cut at first, but slowly lets the nuance of his person show (gruff and stoic, but then he has an eye for art, a sweet tooth and he likes cute animals). It's also very interesting that there's no moment when you learn "the truth" about him the way you do with Zevran or Leliana. There's no big reveal about his life under the Qun before coming to Ferelden. He says he was sent to monitor the Blight, but honestly? If neither Ferelden nor Orlais knew there was a Blight, how could the Qunari know? I think he's lying, and he takes his secrets back with him when he leaves Ferelden. And yet I think I know him enough to say that a Warden who has become friends with him has nothing to fear from Sten.

One thing I find very interesting about Sten is how he thinks. His conversation about how women can't be soldiers has been analysed a lot on this page I think. He seems to be arguing based on a different paradigma than the one the Warden has. He also seems to have a very clear-cut view of the world. What is fascinating to me is that, when arguing with the Warden and learning about their culture, he is not necessarily becoming more lax about his worldview. I think it's more likely that he is expanding his paradigma, the structure of thought through which he understands the world. I don't think that he is now convinced that women can be warriors as well. I think he rather understands that, in Ferelden, the relationship between occupation and gender is different than under the Qun. Which of the two he thinks is more right or more agreeable, I have no idea. I'm also not very interested in that. But I find it fascinating how he always seems to be looking on quietly, gathering data, classifying it and trying to fit it into his understanding of how the world works. I wouldn't be surprised at all if his original party was a scouting party to see how vulnerable Ferelden was at that moment to outside forces. One thing I don't understand with all of this is why he urges the Warden to meet the Blight head on. No smart soldier would suggest that, except if they are foolishly proud (and Sten doesn't seem like that kind of guy tbh). I get that the Warden takes way longer to gather allies than expected because they first have to solve all of their allies' problems. But surely Sten sees the need to have allies? Is he just that impatient? Does he have a death wish (à la, I lost my sword and am without honour, better to die sooner than later and in glorious battle)? Was he his group's previous commander and is he now having trouble following somebody else's orders? Or maybe it's his way to make sure the Warden knows what they are doing? To push them into becoming the self-assured commander their allies will need once they're all gathered? I really don't know. I like the last option best, however.

For me, Sten is my fellow, more experienced soldier. Like Alistair, he can potentially be the Warden's brother in arms, but he's definitely the older brother here. He probably doesn't take kindly to tearful confessions of how hard everything is, but I feel like he's otherwise a solid rock to lean on. I feel like the Warden can trust him to do what is necessary and count on him no matter what, especially after they get his sword back. His devotion from that point on is honestly so powerful.

Wynne:

Wynne was such a support for my Warden (except with the whole conversation about love vs. duty and that she may have to choose between Zevran and ending the Blight and that she should therefore break up with him. Wynne had a point. Astala was so not willing to sacrifice her relationship with Zevran. But the whole conversation came at a point where she was already so disillusioned that she blew up in Wynne's face (”can i please just have one (1) nice thing????”)). But all in all, Wynne is great.

She has a lot of flaws. She was very marked by her life in the Cricle and, for all her age, she has little experience living outside of it. She is also a conformist despite her strong moral core. In a way, her ability to find peace with her lot in life impresses me deeply because it speaks to a lot of strength of character. Sadly, however, strength can be ill applied and used to suppress. I think she has convinced herself that the Chantry is right under (almost) all circumstances to be able to rationalize the life that mages live. She's had her son taken away from her as a baby and an apprentice killed. Her reaction seems to have been to convince herself that this was right, or for the greater good (and now I'm thinking about the Guardian's question at the temple of Andraste's Ashes; are you wise or do you just repeat what others have told you? The answer is not as clear-cut as it might be). This is why she is so irritated by Zevran and Morrigan. By aligning herself with the Chantry, she is, in her eyes, good. Zevran and Morrigan are not; they do not conform to Chantry morality and they defend themselves tooth and nails against somebody who would try and convert them. This is something Wynne never allowed herself to do; she always did the "right" thing and it has cost her so much. I'm not saying she was right (it would probably have done her some good to rebel from time to time, and to trust her own gut instinct more), but in light of this, it hardly surprises me that she's so judgamental. She has to be, or she would be forced to confront all the evil she has not fought against all those years and all the hurt that has been caused to her by the very institution she protects (and thank God she only tries to argue and can appreciate it when people have found a good life outside of her comfort zone. If she tried to convince by force or, for example, drag her former apprentice back to the Circle... boy oh boy that would get ugly). If you think about it, Wynne really is a good example for what happens if you live by a philosophy of always choosing the lesser evil.

Something that I keep forgetting over her grandmotherly and dignified character is how damn powerful she is. She has escaped the carnage at Ostagar; HOW!? She protected those mage apprentices in the Circle tower for God knows how long. In the battle of Denerim, she wades through an army and comes out alive on the other side. The wiki lists her age at 40, I think, but that doesn't make a lick of sense unless 75 years of age are the Fereldan equivalent to 100. This lady, about whom people make grandmother jokes, did all that. It's impressive.

Zevran:

You know, I would really love to know what Wynne thinks about the events at Kirkwall in DA2. It might be a disaster for her, or it might pave the way for one last bit of character development. She certainly didn't want to return to the Circle after fighting the Blight. That may be an indicator of some change in her stance on the Circle of Magi.

Edit: I forgot that she is what the Circle considers a literal abomination! Holy cow, how could I forget that?? Anyway, her conversation about what being an abomination means is so... heartbreaking, actually. It's so tentative. So careful. "Am I an abomination? Am I the same thing that has killed my students? The same thing as Uldred? Am I lost and damned? Did I invite this spirit in? Is this my fault?" Like wow, Wynne is going through something huge right there. I love it. I have to continue playing the game to see what it ends up as, but it's fascinating and such a huge thing that she allows the Warden in on that.

Ah, Zevran, my beloved (he has stolen my heart so much it's not even funny anymore). He's funny, he's charming, he's so so loyal and it breaks my heart. Zevran is the one about whom I've read most meta: these three wonderful posts for instance, as well as this one about his possible lack of scars, and this one about his lack of freedom. All of these have influenced my opinion of him and they are great reads.

I have talked about Zevran with you before, so I'll just skip to the new stuff. I have come to conclusion that Zevran is an artist at heart. This is totally not biased by the fact that I also do art, but hear me out. One of his preferred gifts are bars of silver and gold. While those have the obvious utility of basically functioning as money (they can be sold to any silversmith or goldsmith and their value is pretty stable through time and in different countries), there's also this from his codex: "Zevran shows an affinity for the finer things in life—hardly surprising for an Antivan Crow—but his appreciation can be more poetic than he lets on. A simple bar of refined silver or gold, uncomplicated by a craftsman's hammer, is elegantly valuable." Tell me that is not an artist's eye that sees that gold and sees the beauty in it. Then, there's also the meta about Zevran the Seducer which I linked above and link here again. It talks specifically about how he lets himself enjoy the target and be seen in his enjoyment. Tell me that is not an artist's eye that beholds the beauty of something he is set out to destroy. Even his talk about his assassinations show this. He talks about it as an art, the way somebody would talk about the brutal intervention in stone that produces a sculpture. Yes, it's a rationalization of the act of killing and yes killing is still wrong. But he doesn't go on about it on a moral tangent the way Alistair or Wynne would (”this person was bad, killing them was necessary”) or even through the argument of survival like Morrigan would (”it was either them or me and it sure as Hell wasn't going to be me”). He talks about the pleasure of a job well done, of the satisfaction of striking the precise point and executing a plan to the perfection so as to minimize chances of discovery and to make a clean death possible. And pleasure in seeing and in doing, this I firmly believe, is absolutely fundamental for an artist.

My favourite part about my Warden and Zevran as a pairing is that Zevran precisely brings out that ability to take your pleasures as they come and to really savour them. Fighting the Blight is tough; it's so important to find good things amidst the chaos to stay sane. If Astala saves Zevran from himself by offering him a place to stay and a purpose, Zevran saves Astala from herself by keeping her from running herself into the ground trying to save the world.

There are some things I don't like about Zev. The incessant flirting, for example, sometimes makes me uncomfortable (it becomes enjoyable for me once the Warden and him are in a relationship, but before that? Nah, no thanks). I wish he would also leave the other female characters alone (and there's so many more shameless comments of his aimed at Morrigan, Leliana or Wynne than at Alistair or maybe even Sten).

---

And that's my take on the Origins companions (this was rather long. Whew ^^' I hope it was still readable and that you enjoyed it!!) Thank you so much for the ask!! It's been a joy thinking about this. I was worrying at first that the less prominent companions like Sten or Shale wouldn't get as much content but... well XD

Hello! Can I have some hc with a protective mama Reader with Naib, Helena and Bane. They are my precious baby. I haven't play this game since season 13 and I miss them so much ahhhhhhh 😭😭. Thank you, have a nice day ❤❤🌷 (sr, my English is not good)

✨ Your English is wonderful dear ✨

[Naib Subedar, Helena Adams, Gamekeeper] S/O Is Overprotective

✨ As a reminder, my works will always include gn!reader unless specified by the requester! ✨

———————————————————————

[Naib Subedar]:

* You had been at the manor for quite awhile now, and were a rather nice person, getting along with most other survivors, and even some of the hunters to boot.

* It was quite surprising actually. You’d walked in the first day with a tough-guy attitude and gruff personality, and you didn’t seem like a very approachable person.

* Then, some survivors such as Victor and Emily started worming their way into your heart. Liam [Lucky Guy] and Norton were some of the first people to offer you a seat at the dinner table, and from then on you were one of them.

* You had scars, though most could tell they were more physical than emotional, from some sidejobs you used to complete for a gang on White Sand Street—robbing people and competing in fights with rivals.

* You quickly learned that most people fought back. Rival gangs always intruded on your own territory, and you were always left on guard, defending the last remnants of your livelihood and your sanity.

* Maybe that’s why you’re so protective over your things. Never letting anyone enter your room, never letting anyone see the pain you hide. Opening up to people enough to make allies, but never enough to show secrets.

* Now Naib…. Naib helped you out a lot. It seemed he understood you, far more than others. For some reason, he was always there for you, watching your back when needed, acting like a shield at times—sometimes literally.

* You never really understood at first, how he seemed to know you so well. From what you knew, he came from halfway cross the world, from Nepal, in India—a child, a soldier, a weapon.

* You guessed his life was rather similar, and assumed he’d come to the manor for quite the same reasons but, it was hard to see through the scowl on his face.

* At some point, you began to recognize the signs, the irritation, the avoidance. You recognized the silence, and the stiffness that came from Naib when he ate and smiled and nodded at their questions. You saw the signs of a brother, somebody just as lost and broken as you were.

* Children in the bodies of adults, forced to live life too fast and too furiously. Damaged and done in, waiting for someone to save them, but too scared to cry for help.

* Unwilling to hurt others again, unwilling to change.

* You grew wary—observant—of him eventually. You joined in more matches with him as teammate, and sat next to him often at dinner. When you noticed he didn’t eat as much, you grunted in concern. When he fell asleep in odd places, you’d bring him a blanket.

* It got to the point where he found out about your help, and tried to dissuade you from wasting your time.

* You never really listened. In fact, your worries only increased. Others might not have recognized, but you saw the signs of fatigue and death written in the lines of his face. You’d seen it every day back on White Sand.

* He gave up on making you give up, tired of attempted persuasions. Eventually began returning the favours—Naib is the type to have a ‘you watch my back, I’ll watch yours’ mentality.

* Everything you’d do for him is returned in kind. It annoyed the rest of the manor to no end because the giving and receiving eventually reached limits unheard of.

* You’d throw yourself on a rocket chair to save him, and next game you’d have your own personal bodyguard tracking your every move.

* He’d never admit it, but he appreciates all you do for him, and hopes you appreciate his efforts in making your life a little better too.

* Though your protective tendencies know no bounds, he hopes you’re a little more cautious with throwing your life on the line for him like that. This is a death game after all, be more careful…. please?

* At some point, the whole manor hopes you two could just get together and kiss it out in some storage closet. If you’re dating, what’s the need to be so consistent in you’re protective tendencies? Then you’ll always be together, which means nothing can ever happen to either of you!

* To be fair, that’s what most of them thought until an incident after the confession, where Naib wouldn’t let you out of the medical ward for a week due to a few hairline fractures.

* Please Naib! Emily begs you to let her use the examination table! You’ve hogged it for 5 days and she needs it to identify the infection spreading on Aesop’s leg! Vera broke her nose! William sprinted into the gymnasium wall and shattered his kneecaps! Please leave!

* You once set fire to a couch because Naib stubbed his toe on it.

* Please stop it you two, Freddy can’t budget for anymore furniture, and we’re fresh out of chairs.

———————————————————————

[Helena Adams]:

* Oops! Oh no her glasses! Aww shucks, Norton knocked them right off her face and onto the hardwood floor. She can’t find them because she can’t see, whatever shall she do?

* [S/o]! Please, she needs your help!

* You come in running with a pair of pliers, five bottles of anti-grease spray, and a box of extra lenses and a screwdriver.

* Oh how wonderful! You fixed her glasses—again—and saved her from the task of shuffling herself on all fours looking for them! Her hero!

* Helena…. praises you to say the least. You’re her best friend, her confidante, her…. big and strong, sometimes dumb partner!

* She adores everything you do for her, and tries equally as hard to do things for you that make your life necessarily easier, though it’s harder with her condition.

* She met you around the same time as everybody else, during your first days in the manor. Really, she didn’t actually know you were there until she bumped into a voice she didn’t recognize and became surprised.

* You quickly learned about her blindness, and made it your goal to form a friendship with her based on your willingness to help her around and get closer to her—she was very kind after all.

* Your protectiveness stemmed from the inherent feeling of a need to help guide and provide for Helena, much like a spouse would… jk, unless 👀….

* At some points, you were berated by her for your incessant protections, most of which made her feel highly dependent, which she didn’t like.

* She liked the feeling of being independent of others and being recognized as an autonomous, capable being. Especially considering what she came there for, it was a blow to her pride to be led around and pushed aside all the time.

* When she revealed these feelings to you, you had surprisingly promised her to cease in most areas of monitoring—however you still consistently check up on her—and settled into the realm of a relationship with her.

* Helena meets somebody who respects her opinions + acknowledges her intellect + isn’t a dingy asshole? Sign her up and slap on a ring, she’s marrying this person (eventually).

* She knows that your tendencies stem from a place of need and want, and tolerates most of them. Deep down, she likes being taken care of by someone who knows she can take care of herself. She really does love you.

* When you’re actually in a relationship with each other, you make sure to watch each others backs, more so you than Helena (because she can’t ‘watch’ per say), but you get the point.

* There was once an incident in a duo’s match where Helena became stranded on the Lakeside Fishing map. The terrain is rough, with piles of fish everywhere, randomly placed boxes and walls, and the barrels are bad enough when they don’t form a blockade.

* Her navigational skills, as good as they are with all her previous experience and staff, couldn’t for the life of her figure out how to move her way around a mess of box paths, pallets, and fishing stands.

* Most other survivors were occupied or dead—it had been a hard match against Jack the Ripper and Guard 26—and she was barred from reaching any form of help.

* So she screamed your name as loud as she possibly could across the map, and ended up attracting the attention of BonBon instead. During those moments where she could hear his clanks and heavy metalloid footsteps stalking towards her, the tick of a time bomb in hand, she heard a screech in the distance.

* A fierce battlecry—you came raging from around a windmill, propelled by William’s football and packing heat with a flare gun. BonBon, now stunned twice, stood there in astonishment, before chasing after you, who had grabbed Helena in your arms, running off at full speed.

* Your stamina bar, indicated by a small tab on your character, was running low, and you wouldn’t be able to run at full speed for another minute or two, having used your ability to buy time. Stopping near a closet, you lean down to place Helena on her feet, telling her to hide.

* Her blood trail was invisible from not actually having run anywhere, and she did as you said, making you promise to come get her when it was safe.

* You gave her a smirk and a small nod, assuring her that you would, before leaning in for a peck on the forehead as you shoved her into the locker.

* If only you could see her flushed in embarrassment.

* Leaving her to fangirl in the locker, you form a decoy in your arms—result of your max rescuer ability—and ran off once more, taking off around a corner just as Guard 26 reached your previous location, chasing after you and ‘Helena’ in hopes of landing two more kills.

———————————————————————

[Bane the Gamekeeper]:

* How does it feel to love a deerman? Good? Okay!

* Bane as you know is a little…. rough around the edges so-to-speak, and he has a lot of edges.

* Once you get around all the hooks, chains, and bear traps, and beneath that creepy-looking deer head of his, he really is such a sweet guy!

* At least you think so. In reality, he still acts like a complete dick to everybody else, and only shows his soft side around you, but that’s because he knows he can trust you with his lands, animals, and secrets! All those others out there only wish to hurt what he—you—have, and he’ll make them pay for it.

* Honestly, in order for him to have fallen for you so hard to have let his guard down around you, you probably would have had to be at your most vulnerable point in life, or a hunter yourself. Like a scared prey animal, uncertain of its future, waiting for something to happen, and somebody to help, or a huge predator, ready to strike out at any moment.

* Once you worm your way into his cold dead heart, there’s no way out for you. He’ll keep you close, as he doesn’t want you to be poached away like his precious animal friends from the past. He knows how cruel humanity can be sometimes.

* When you come to find out about his less-than-kind history, it’s all you can do to pity him. Your sympathy knows no bounds, and you become clingier, though he quite honestly likes it.

* You don’t want what happened to him to occur again, and with all these other traitors and murderers in the manor, you’re afraid of what the others could do.

* You keep to his side a lot more, take walks with him in the garden, and enjoy tranquil picnics from time-to-time on Lakeside. Anything to keep him close to you and away from all the pain.

* Bane can obviously see what your doing, and noticing that your protectiveness doesn’t yet border on the insane, he allows you to continue in your devotions.

* It’s honestly sweet sometimes how you both adore each other so much, even if you know that one day one or both of you will have to leave. Whether it be through death, disappearance, or another means such as escape is a question of time, and one that neither of you know the answer to.

* If you’re also a hunter, than both of you know that while you two are happier now than either of you were in life, that your individual deaths and worths will eventually determine your fates—whether that be a happy afterlife, or an eternity of endless wandering.

* It’s well known that you’ll both disappear the day the game ends, your souls being put to rest as they should’ve been however long ago. Until then however, you’ll continue to hold on to and vehemently protect the relationship the two of you have, and you’ll fight until your soul vanishes from the earth for what you have to remain that way.

* Now, if you’re a survivor, this is where the relationship can be a bit difficult.

* Avidly defending the actions of your boyfriend during and after a match to the rest of your survivor buddies isn’t a very good look for you, or your reputation. It’s been many times where you’ve almost been chased out of the dining room because somebody was pissed at you for costing them the match, or being the only one spared instead of convincing Bane for a win or tie.

* As they say, if you can’t beat em’, join em’. Some survivors, such as William, Kreacher, and Freddy, have more than once suggested that if you loved a hunter so much, you should become one to be with him. Dating the undead almost crosses the line of what is humane. Aesop thinks you’re kind of cool.

* The hunters over on Bane’s side hate you more. Are convinced that you’re the sole reason that Bane goes friendly sometimes (even in matches without you in them), and that your relationship takes away from his brutal and violent persona and nature.

* Violetta and Michiko are the most tolerant of you, mainly because you gifted them silk and a hand fan for Christmas once when they wished for them in their letters.

* All-in-all, basically everyone blames you, but you keep going forward because who cares about all the nasty bi*ches in the world, am I right?

* Once, to prove the integrity and devotion of your relationship, you set Freddy’s room on fire and locked Kreacher in a closet. You looked Bane directly in the eyes and kneeling before him stated, “I have committed arson for you m’lord.”

* You couldn’t see it because of his deerish head and all, but Bane really went “Heart eyes motherf*cker.” on you in that moment.

* You love animals and set things on fire to prove your loyalty to him? Ticket for one please, he’s riding the simp train all the way to the station.

* Just, please don’t accidentally burn down the manor, he wants to spend as much time with you as possible before he disappears.

* Also don’t joke around with your life, it’s too precious, even when you tackle your own teammate or risk getting hit by Ganji’s cricket ball to save him from being stunned.

* He doesn’t want you dying before he does—has already he supposes—or disappearing without a trace.

* You promise you’ll stick with him until the day you finally leave this wretched place.

CRITICAL ROLE REWATCH C2E110

(And further ranting and raving and campaign predictions...)

Hey guess what I'm back to talk about today you guys?

Verin Thelyss? Always. But not for this episode.

HOW ABOUT SOME MORE GODDAMN HINTED MULTICLASSED EODWULF.

Yep. You bet.

For those of you just joining this Ted Talk I posed a theory months ago that Eodwulf is NOT infact multiclassed as a paladin for the Raven Queen/Matron of Ravens as most of the fandom has considered. But is something far more dangerous and terrifying.

That Eodwulf is in fact multiassed as a War Domain Cleric.

WHICH IS BAD.

VERY VERY BAD.

At least from a D&D combat campaign point of view. Because essentially it creates an absolute malestrom of a NPC. And it turns the gut to think of the kind of fight it would put the Nein through.

*coughTPKcough*

Because the facts are this. Eodwulf is already a very highly trained, extremely powerful wizard, which is dangerous in and of itself. Add to that fact that he's ALSO a homebrewed Volstrucker and considered one of Ikithon's elites. That means there's going to be all kinds of shit mixed up in that bag of tricks that we haven't seen or yet to speculate.

My basis as to why I think Eodwulf is a cleric of some kind leans heavily on the fact that Matt Mercer himself very often grumbles and complains during campaign about how "unfair" it is that the Nein have two clerics. Yet to date the Nein have not actually gone to combat with a full party that includes a cleric (that may change with the Tomb Takers, who knows) but its certainly not an oversight by any means. I'm positive Matt is saving the use of a cleric enemy for a particularly nasty encounter or series of encounters.

Because lets be real

Clerics will fuck some shit up no matter what their domain is. Between the ridiculously long list of spells they have access to and the ability to pop other members of their team back up clerics are brawlers in the disguise of supports.

NOW HERE'S WHERE IS GETS DANGEROUS CONCERING EODWULF.

Considering Eodwulf is a wizard, and a homebrewed Volstrucker at that theres going to be alot of fire power there but Wizards are notorious glass canons unless handled or multiclassed correctly. Caleb is EXTREMELY powerful mage wise BUT he still follows wizard format to balance him from becoming to powerful. At lvl 13 his AC 15 (jumps to 16 with Mage Armor) and he has 96HP. They're at a point of the campaign where they are coming up against creatures that deal out damage in the 50s, 60s, 70s, or more in one shot. And in turn the Nein themselves are starting to be able to do that kind of damage back.

Which if Eodwulf was just a wizard played by wizard stats, even just slightly homebrewed, wouldn't make him much of a threat.

BUT THROW CLERIC IN THERE AND MAKE IT A WAR DOMAIN CLERIC?

You just turned that glass canon into a GODS DAMNED SHERMAN TANK.

That gives Eodwulf access to martial weapons, heavy armor and a PLEATHORA of other equipment that most wizards could only look longingly through a shop window at before. Not to mention the spell list expansion. His AC jumps. His HP jumps. His attack ability skyrockets as he could both cast spells and make (multiple with certain effects) physical attacks in the same round. His magical longevity bolsters as he can save spell slots until more opportune times to but continue to cause damage with physical strikes.

Not to mention the aspect of keeping the rest of his side of the fight up. Healing up other Volstrucker, Astrid, fucking Ikithon himself to keep them in combat. Hell even using FUCKING REVIVIFY to bring one back if he needs to.

Counterspell? Got it. Cure Wounds? Got it. Guiding Strike? Yep got that, too. Divine Intervention? Sure thing! Fireball? Pssht, for sure.

Considering the hint in C2E110 that Eodwulf favors electricity the same way Caleb favors fire I wouldn't be surprised if he has friggin' Chained Lighting as a go to favorite spell.

BUT I DIGRESS

Some more hints came into focuse during C2E110 to support this theory but the biggest one was said by Eodwulf himself. When questioned about what he did on the front lines Eodwulf admitted:

"I am not much of a front line fighter..."

Its kind of a throwaway line BUT is very much known and considered within D&D that paladins (like Fjord) are considers front line fighter types. But wizards AND CLERICS OF ALL DOMAINS are considered SUPPORT LINE. That they hang back and try to stay out of the thick of danger. Despite the abilities of a cleric to be absolutely savage in combat, as displayed by Jester and Caduceus over the campaign, they're still considered 'support/support line' classes.

It might not be a huge hint but the only time at the table Eodwulf showed any small bit of his own personality was when he bragged just a little about himself and admitted to liking being called a 'living magical weapon', he was also incredibly honest and forthright when he answered questions or spoke about their duty, parents, the torture that he'd been put through at the hands of Ikithon and his faith in the Matron of Ravens was no secret and peppered casually into his conversation. I think that if he was in fact a paladin Edowulf would not hesitate to talk about his pride at serving the Matron of Ravens AND the Empire in direct combat. A wiz-pally combo like that would be formidable but...

A Wiz-War Cleric combo thats a homebrewed Volstrucker and backed by the goddess of death...

Its gonna get real ugly really fast for the Nein if they have to fight him.

I fully believe Eodwulf can be flipped to the Nein's favor but I think to manage that he needs to be separated from Ikithon AND Astrid. During C2E110 he took ALL of his cues from Astrid, looking at her EVERY TIME before starting to speak or reacting to anything. He only acted a little more independent when they were outside the tower. Everything about Eodwulf's demeanor and behavior suggests someone so very lost and used to being bullied or directed one way or another that he doesn't think twice to follow instructions or vomit back up beliefs he was 'taught' but might not be his own. People like that bury their personalities and only find their way to the surface when they're separated from the supervision of their influence. Caleb as expressed multiple times he wants to win both his friends back with a much heavier emphasis on Astrid than Eodwulf. Astrid seems a much more difficult person to turn to their side imo and habors to many secrets and ulterior motives and its worrisome the way she does execute her will over Edowulf. Its clear by some of the interactions at the table that Astrid was very much the 'leader' of the Blumentrio, as she several times tried to cue Caleb with looks to stop or change his behavior and actions. Caleb has been free of Ikithon (and Astrid's) influence for so long now and grown so much in the care of his found family it didn't even cause him to balk but it worries me that if Astrid were introduced into the Nein her influence and manipulations that she does still hold over Eodwulf may start to sink in and control Caleb again as well. The encounter certainly rattled him and left him repeatedly insisting "freeing" her specifically over the course of the campaign since.

But thats a whole different can of worms...

If the Nein turn Astrid to their cause I'm almost positive Eodwulf will follow her. He cued to her FAR more than he did to Ikithon and that speaks volumes.

But I would so much like to see Eodwulf on his own, see his personality and see his own decision to join the Nein's side or not.

But truly... if the answer is 'not'...

Its not going to be good...

Monster Hunter Rating 37: Red Khezu, the Charging Wyvern

TRIGGER WARNING: BLOOD

I don’t normally talk about the monster’s qualities in the introduction, but I have to here to make sure that no one’s gonna get hurt because of this. This is a monster that’s veiny and blood red, and combined with Khezu’s design, it’s pretty disturbing. The weapons, however, are probably worse, as they have a cracked, fleshy aesthetic that looks like it could start bleeding at any moment, and I’ll put the trigger warning a second time once we get to talking about them in case it slips someone’s mind. Might seem overkill, but with a situation like this, you can’t be too careful, which is also why I’m gonna put this review under a “Read More” so anyone who doesn’t want to see it doesn’t get an eyeful while trying to scroll past it. Now, let’s talk about Red Khezu proper, shall we?

(How it appears in Monster Hunter Freedom 1)

(How it appears in Monster Hunter 4)

Appearance: See what I mean? This thing’s made to look like it had its skin ripped off, which is not a look you want to have unless your intention is to scar someone or their children for life. The MHF1 render conveys the skinned appearance better than the MH4 one, in my opinion, because it’s a deep red, like the kind you’d see in gore in PlayStation era games. The MH4 render reminds me more of a particularly red worm or lamprey...well, until you get to the body. Then it looks like someone plucked a chicken and painted it red. It probably looks more visceral in-game.

I think I prefer the standard Khezu design, to be honest. The pale complexion combined with everything else gives me Silent Hill vibes, and even though I haven’t played any of the games, I’ve watched videos on them, and I appreciate all they’ve done for the horror genre. Red Khezu, on the other hand, doesn’t give me that same impression, and I don’t know of any horror series’ I’m interested in where such a vibrant red on a fleshy-looking monster is part of the aesthetic. Still, it does its job well. 7/10.

Behavior/Lore: So, here’s something interesting: Red Khezu aren’t a subspecies. They’re what Khezu are supposed to be like; the Khezu everyone views as being “normal” are actually albinos who likely only got more populous than the red ones because they spend most of their time in caves, where anything that would want them dead likely wouldn’t be relying on visual cues to hunt anyways. That said, both types of Khezu leave caves to eat non-cave dwelling monsters and, surprisingly, mushrooms, which Red Khezu have been seen feeding on in the Swamp region. Unfortunately for them, being so fatty means that once they leave their cave, they put themselves at risk, ‘cause a lot of monsters want to eat them, including the Rath pair.

For some reason, Red Khezu are much more aggressive than the albino variety, and they even have increased muscle mass, which allows them to not only visit cold regions (which white Khezu can already do), but even stay in them during the winter months (which white Khezu can’t do). I don’t know why albino Khezu aren’t like this, ‘cause I can’t see how albinism would affect your muscle growth and temperament, but I don’t make the monsters, I just critique them.

I’m really glad that this is more interesting than “Khezu+.” The fact that Red Khezu aren’t a true subspecies is a neat idea, and considering that the Ecology page on the common Khezu doesn’t mention any omnivorous tendencies, it’s likely that Red Khezu even have a different diet than their pale cousins, which is something that I don’t think the previous G monsters had. While making them more aggressive than albino Khezu is to be expected at this point, it doesn’t take away from anything, so I’m not going to gripe about it. When you combine all of this with the qualities they likely share with albino Khezu, you get an interesting counterpart for what was already an interesting monster. 8/10.

Abilities: If you thought that keeping warm was the main benefit of having more muscle mass than a common Khezu, I have to question your educational history; Red Khezu are physically stronger than the albino variety, and their electrical organs are superior as well. Not only are their electric attacks stronger, they can also use electricity to incapacitate prey in ways common Khezu can’t. Also, their skin seems to be very elastic, as Red Khezu can stretch their necks out much farther than their pale brethren can. I think more needs to be stretchier than just the skin, but whatever. As a final note, for some reason they’re immune to fire, but this apparently comes at the cost of being weak to water.

Red Khezu do what I wish more subspecies’ do, which is take the basic abilities of their weaker forms and mix them up, not just make them more powerful. The new ways they can manipulate electricity and the extended reach of their more elastic necks likely make battles with them stand out more than the ones you have with some other G monsters. 7/10.

Equipment: Like I said at the beginning, TRIGGER WARNING FOR BLOOD. These weapons look just plain nasty, which, while potentially being part of their appeal to some people, will likely make others very queasy or worse. I’ll start with the least disgusting one, the Hunting Horn called the Blood Horn:

“Red Hunting Horn made from wrapped Red Khezu hide. Its color is very unsettling...” The color is unsettling? Not the fact that it literally has a mouth? Okay, in all fairness, the color of the wraps makes it more gruesome than the Khezu Horn, which just looks like it’s covered in bandages; these look like bandages that were soaked in something, and they were probably white before they were applied. Make of that little observation what you will. Now, here’s where things start getting nasty--this Long Sword from MHO:

...I can’t say I know what that implement is, but I do know that the Red Khezu skin is wrapped around it in a very unsettling way; until I saw the little bit of metal that was exposed at the sword’s base, I thought that those spikes were independently attached to the flesh instead of being the teeth of a full blade. And speaking of unsettling, the sheathe looks like it’s bleeding. That comparison to cracked flesh I drew earlier makes more sense now, don’t it? I’ve got one more weapon to show you guys, and it’s probably the nastiest one of the bunch: the Red Khezu Sword and Shield from MHO. If you’re already uncomfortable after looking at the above weapons, you might wanna scroll past this:

The reasons I find this the most gruesome of the weapons I’ve shown are A: the “sword” is a surgeon’s saw, which adds to the whole “twisted hospital” vibe that Silent Hill likes to use, and B: the shield literally has the Red Khezu’s “face” stretched over it, and the mouth is...what are those black things holding the mouth shut? They’re not sewing lines, ‘cause they’re way too big. Wait, the way the two on the left are angled, it looks like they’re 3D and not flat--are those things made of metal, like the shield? ‘Cause there are a few implications for that, and they’re all unpleasant. Moving on to the armor, the only renders the wiki had are the men’s sets from MHO. Here’s the Blademaster set:

This isn’t as vibrant of a red as Red Khezu normally are, but it does look like raw meat or exposed flesh, so that’s...cool? The fact that there’s nothing obscuring or darkening the face like in other games with Khezu armor makes it look kind of silly, though; it’s like a fleshy raincoat, which is equally parts disgusting and hard to take seriously. As for the Gunner set, it’s very different from the Khezu R Armor I showed off in the Khezu review:

To be fair, this does look a lot like the normal Khezu Gunner armor, so expecting it to look like the R Gunner armor is silly. There are a couple of neat things here--the arm guard has a spine embedded in it, and the right arm has a glove with claws (or at least long nails)--but for the most part this doesn’t stand out too much to me. It does look like someone cooked the meat for a few minutes, though, so it’s probably not violating any health codes.

Honestly, I prefer the standard Khezu equipment to this, but that’s mostly because there’s much more of it than Red Khezu equipment. Plus, outside of the ones from MHO, the weapons the devs recolored for Red Khezu don’t really look that unnerving. The red’s a bit too vibrant, so it doesn’t really fit the filthy hospital aesthetic that made Khezu weapons so eerie, and the armor looks gross, sure, but that’s all it has. Still, the MHO weapons are their own kind of disturbing, but the fact that the majority of Red Khezu weapons are in a game that most people don’t even consider a real MH game is depressing. 6/10.

Final Thoughts and Tally: After sifting through so many monsters that did so little, it’s nice to get something that stands out like this. Don’t get me wrong, I still prefer normal Khezu over red ones, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like Red Khezu at all; I just think that the albino ones have more going for them. 7/10.

The Toxic people in the HH Fandom

Now this is something I wanted to talk about.

I have been in this community for some time now and it has been the most eventful, yet exciting time of my years. Seeing a large group of fans support a passion project / show made by talented and independent people is pretty damn great and I love it. But, there have been some situations that had reeked some havoc here and I think it’s time we talked about some of them.

Unfortunately, I could not fit everything I wanted to talk about in this post since it’s a bit overdue , I will be discussing 5 types of toxic people and some situations that had happened in the HH community.

Note: Most of the stories I’m going to talk about were either made public or had been told by my friends or people who have experienced these situations.

I will not reveal the names of the toxic individuals or their social media names as I don’t want anyone to witch-hunting any of these people. As much as I hate these types of people, it would be inhumane to go and attack them. In this community, we are trying to bring positivity to the fandom and not attract any drama here. Despite this, I will offer the details of what these individuals have done that should have some light dazzled to help and inform of these disgusting crimes in the community. Also if you go out of your way to harass any of these people I will beat you up and eat your fingers. You know better then to do that.

1. Harassment

Harassment is no uncommon thing. It can happen to everyone, but that doesn’t mean it’s ok. If you are being harassed or spammed by someone, BLOCK THEM. It is never ok for you to stay silent, especially when that harassment is continuous. If you disagree with someone about something, do not go spamming them in their dms or comments, cause’ that just make you look stupid and immature af.

Allow me to explain. Role-Play / Role-Players are seemingly the most common in the HH Fandom and often answer questions from others to the the character they are rp-ing as or their ocs. But sometimes they are going to get weird fucking questions.

For example, my good friend @carol1826 is a roleplayer. She roleplays Charlie and asks / answers ask from others (HH related or not). One day, she had a very annoying anon asking her the question “Are you single?” on her posts and ask box. Of course, she was uncomfortable about that question and deleted those until the anon finally said:

“Dumb bitch deleting questions I was only asking a question...”

“I bet the real Charlie would answer my questions...”

Ok, first of all what the actual fuck and what type of human being would ask someone that question, especially to a Charlie rp blog. More specifically, why would anyone ask a roleplayer that question. It disgusts me that this anon would do this and I hope they get what’s coming to them.

---- ------ --- -------- ---------- -- ---------------- ----- ------- Another example of this comes from Tumblr and DeviantArt. You see, a strange user (we will refer to as “the User”) has been asking artists (minors and adults) a specific request in the HH fandom:

“Draw Angel Dust’s butt looking like his fluffy chest” Or sometimes even these asks: “Draw Angel Dust swallowing bullets” ”Draw angel dust smuggling drugs up his butt” “Draw Alastor killing Pentious with a penance stare” “Can I get a shot of Pentious' eye on his hat?” But it seems that the User would often ask artists to draw Angel Dust with his butt out or doing weird shit, but mostly Angel Dust’s butt.

Of course, they would be constantly asking and spamming artists to do this, even if the artist didn’t want to. They even went as far as asking a 13 yr old artist to draw his request. The User has also admitted that it was a fetish (butt fetish to be specific), which is ok but that doesn’t excuse their actions. Fetishes are normal and I have nothing against anyone who has one but it is not ok to try and demand and spam someone to draw it if they don’t want to. The User has been also stealing art, not crediting artists, participating in art trades but never doing their part, begging or persuading for artists to give free art to them (despite some artists who only do commissions), making fake accounts and harassing / impersonating people, acting racist, etc. I recommend any HH artist to block this user immediately if you get an ask from them.

If the artist doesn't want to draw your request, then you should leave them alone.

It is not ok to spam an artist’s askbox or DMs the same request they rejected over and over again. It’s not going to do any good for you if you do this.

Not only that,

The User also does this to HH roleplayers, sending really weird rp asks to them, mainly those who roleplay Angel Dust. In fact, there was one instance where they sent an ask to a Angel Dust roleplayer in which they basically raped Angel or asked very perverted question about their “Fluffy Butt” (the worst one is when they asked Angel rp-ers to swallow a rat and see if it comes out through the butt), along with other weird asks and it’s fucking disgusting / disturbing as this makes the User look like an extreme creep. It is not uncommon for these types of people to ask others to satisfy their fetishes or sexual desires, and will do whatever it takes to get that fetish / desire expressed from anyone (minors or adults) they can contact, even if it is illegal.

Unfortunately, this User has also ask artists these requests on DA as well, but way worse than you could ever imagine. The worst instance was where they’d ask various artists to draw a frog with worms up its ass. Yeah, I’m calling the Art Police. Recently, the User had posted on DA discussing this issue. Of course they were acting very perverse, deny that they spam artists (even though it’s the truth) and trying to pull a bullshit pity party / sob story by explaining how they used to be homeless for 2 years, abused and attacked, which (I clearly doubt is true). The fact they tried to defend themselves by talking about how shitty their life used to be fucking disgusts me and is so very pathetic, it makes me gag knowing that these people exist and we are forced to live among them. The User is obviously trying to pull people away from the situation by using the pity card, and it failed. Why the hell should anyone give you the benefit of the doubt that you have done these sick, twisted, and inhumane things to artists by spamming them gross requests and being a big baby when people call you out, as if you should even deserve pity to begin with? Now of course, what the User is saying does sound very hard to deal with and very sad, but once it crosses the line (due to these actions the User has done and has been very immature and uncompromising about it) people won’t care about how you got there nor feel pity about it. Besides, I doubt anything that the User said is actually true, especially the “homeless for 2 years” part, since if that were the case, you’d be more focused on money and rent rather than asking artists to draw a character clapping their ass-cheeks. Currently on this user’s DA page, they’ve been doing these abominations of status posts for some time, posting pity-post stories in order to get sympathy and just bad. In one of their posts, they go completely ape-shit. Like, this is what happens when desperation and lies is your only option to escape your problems because you’re to perverse to try and fix those issues. I doubt anything this guy says is real anymore since, at this point, anything they say is just a way for them to get pity-points. Here are the posts btw -----v

Overall, this user is a art thief, spammer, pedophile, manipulating, lying disgusting immature pig that should be eradicated from the internet and all communities for they have been nothing but harassed and cause problems in the fandoms they entered.

In conclusion, If you are an HH rp / art blog and you are getting uncomfortable asks like these, do not respond and / or block the person asking, you have that right and these people can’t tell you otherwise. If you are harassing people like this, then shame on you for your actions and you seriously need to stop. Its not fucking ok and it will never be ok. NEVER FUCKIN’ EVER.

2. Art Theft

Now those of you who have been here for a long time in the Vivziepop Fandom, you will know that many people would sometimes repost Vivz’s artwork. Most of the time we usually don’t do this in the intent of stealing it but to share it or even criticize it. Seemingly Vivz doesn't have a problem with this, unless you are stealing it for you own personal gain and lie that it’s their art. That’s right, these bastards steal her art and claim its theirs. If you been frequently going to Vivz’s Twitter back in 2017, you might remember her calling out a blog that was stealing her art and saying it was theirs.

If you thought that was bad, not only does this happen to Vivz, it happens to other artists in the the HH fandom, the two I’m going to talk about come from @rabbit1225 and @ztoonsz.

Rabbit1225 makes beautifully drawn artwork of characters, and they are especially well known for their fanart on HH characters in the fandom (Lucifer from HH to be specific). But, unfortunately as Rabbit continues with the fanart, others take it without permission. In fact, there was one instant where someone had ask Rabbit if they could use their picture of Lucifer in the Hazbin Hotel Wiki for Lucifer’s bio in a conversation on DeviantArt. Rabbit said no, but they didn’t care. They not only posted it on the wiki, they spelled Rabbit’s DeviantArt name wrong. Fortunately, Rabbit told the person to remove the pic immediately and told them off for not listening, and so far the pic was removed from the wiki.

This would soon lead to Rabbit putting big watermarks over most their artwork so art thieves couldn’t steal them. I mean, the watermarks are so big they take up the whole pic, which is smart. But still it is a very sad thing to see this happen to artist like Rabbit just because they make some good art of their favorite characters. Sure, asking artists for permission to use their artwork is ok, but taking their art (even if the artist said no) without permission is extremely wrong and disgraceful. ------- ---- ------------ -------------------------- ----- ----------

Ztoonz is also an artist who draws HH characters, including their HH oc. Suddenly, an Instagram user was not only stealing their HH art, but stealing various ones from another artist. Ztoonz confronted this thief, and it went pretty bad to say the least. The thief kept saying it was “Their art” and kept calling them insults like “Bitch” or “British Cunt”. What really put the nail in the coffin was when the thief threaten to repost Ztoonz’s art and claim that Ztoonz was the one stealing it. Now that’s just cold. Of course, Ztoonz made a post regarding this and everyone started to report this thief. Thankfully, the thief deleted all of the art because they knew they fucked up and they deserved it.

If an you are reposting another person’s art, you must ask for permission first. If don’t and just straight up do it anyway, be sure to credit them at least.

If the artist asks you to remove the reposted art, Do IT, as the art is theirs and not yours and you could get sued or even arrested by the artist for stealing their art.

Respect an artist’s request to leave their art alone or credit them and move on with your life.

It’s not that difficult. You’ll look bad.

This also goes for Ocs as well, of course.

It is despicable and stealing another person’s character and / or art , it makes you look like you are devoid of creativity to make your own and it’s scummy.

3. The Attack Of HH Shippings

This is a tweet Vivzie made on her Twitter. I hope you read or at least acknowledged this tweet, because I’m going to talk about a certain issue regarding this. You see, the reason why Vivz made this tweet was because of the fact that there was an increase of actual people bullying other for certain ships, canon or not, which I must say is just sad. Like, guys they’re just cartoon characters, calm the fuck down. If you’re seriously going to debate others about a certain ship and whether or not it’s canon for 2 hours, then you are the real fool here. I don’t know what’s worse: -People shipping real-life people that don’t know each other / have no love or sexual relations with. OR -People getting into heated arguments about certain fictional character ships from cartoons or shows. What more do we need to tell you? How many fucking times do we all need to say it to you people? Doing this is just going to make you look like a shit person, and an immature one at that. There is no reason for you to do this.There is no reason to attack someone for having some ship of an HH character because you disagree with it. I’ve said it, everyone has said it, even Vivzie herself has said it. I know this is common in almost all fandoms and communities, but come on, ya’ll should be mature enough to know that being a bitch about stupid shit is just stupid. You guys are old enough to learn how to respect an opinion / interest, yet you people are crying like babies about how some people are shipping Vaggie and Angel Dust cause’ he is gay and not straight. THEY’RE JUST SHIPS! Not only that, even if Angel Dust and Vaggie used to be a couple in the older version of HH and it’s not canon anymore, you can still ship them regardless.

Sure, we all love our demons guys n’ gals but we need to remember they’re just characters and we can do whatever ships we want. Of course, there are going to be the weird looking ships, but we need to respect those ships. You have no authority to tell a person to kill themselves all because they shipped Charlie with Alastor. You are not the God of Ships, nor are you entitled to say you are.

Speaking of the Vaggie x Angel Dust ship, my friend @scarecrowinc93 told me about someone supporting that ship here on Tumblr. They loved it so much, they made a kickstarter to make the ship canon. Fucking Madlad. But when people tried to tell them that it might not come true, they went ape-shit. They responded to all of this in a post and were extremely rude and bitter about it, though they tried to cover their tracks by deleting it as soon as they realize they fucked up. Now as much as we love fan ships and wish they could be canon, it might not happen and you need to except that fact.

Just because you’re in a fandom that have excepting ships does not mean you can harass people for disagreeing with your ship or anyone else. I get it people should have free opinions here and there, but you don’t have the right to speak in a rude manner because someone didn’t like your ship. That’s not right and you know that.

4.”Is Hazbin Hotel a Scam?” Bullshit and Clickbait Slander

What happens when someone is desperate for views on YouTube? Slander and attempting to start drama of course! There had been two videos that have caused a bit of a steer.

The first one was at the day of Christmas Eve, a video called “Is Hazbin Hotel a Scam?” was uploaded by some random person, and I gotta say I was pissed off and disgusted. This might as well be the most infamous video slandering Hazbin Hotel to exist. Words cannot describe this video, and the only way I can describe it is with this image:

I’m pretty sure everyone knows that Hazbin Hotel isn’t a scam. For one, Vivzie and the HH crew do not want to let the fans down, especially at this point in time as Hazbin Hotel is popular with a majority of fans, who are excited for the upcoming show. Do you really think Vivziepop would want to let her own fans down and lie about the upcoming show just to gain money? Yeah uh, how about no motherfucker. They’ve been working so hard to even stop the project at this point. Multiple clips from the pilot have been released to the public, and you can clearly see that the HH crew are working hard to make this show real. Animation that could make Disney cry, colors that pop and vibrate with beauty, and characters with designs that defy our ability to comprehend. For example, Ashely Nichols is one of the HH animators / artists working on the project. She is well known for the many streams she broadcasts. Most of them are usually of her animating various scenes, but with a bit of a twist. You see, to make these streams more entertaining, she brings in one of the several voice actors of Hazbin Hotel to the stream and have the viewers give voice requests said voice actor. In fact, she is currently in a relationship with Micheal Kovach, the voice of Angel Dust. Sometimes even Vivzie makes streams. During those streams some viewers would ask her various questions about Hazbin Hotel, and you know what she does? She answers their questions. Vivzie likes to talk about the Hazbin Hotel’s universe, especially her characters and want to share them with her fans. So how is that a scam? If Hazbin Hotel was a scam, then why is the HH crew so dedicated to make this project successful? Explain that, cause’ it seems that the person who made this video might have something to say about this. I question whether or not this person is a troll or not, but I’m on the notion they did this for views since in their channel they have never talked about animation or anything related to that and probably doesn’t even know anything about it. Literally, when I first went on this person’s channel, there was barely anything in there that related to animation, art, or anything of that sort but (what I can assume to be) video blogs with barely any views. When I saw this, I could just feel the desperateness for views radiating from their channel. It’s like the equivalent of someone cashing in on a famous person’s death because they’re so desperate for views and attention. When first watching this “exposed video”, I honestly couldn’t even watch it at it’s fully entirety because it was that bad. The points this person made were too idiotic to take seriously and I feel bad for those who believed these disgusting lies. Here are just some of the “points” this person made about the so called “Hazbin Hotel scam”: - Having merch before the show has been released - Having no official release date - The crew only caring about money, not the fans - Having two Patreon pages (One is Vivziepop, the other’s Hazbin Hotel) These are just some of the “points” the person made in the video, and oh believe me it gets worse. While some seem understandable, most of them sound too abysmal to be true. Like seriously, “Having no official release date...”? How petty do you have to be to make up this shit? I get it, the internet can be a sketchy place and you can’t always trust the things you believe, but that statement does not make sense. Let me explain, most animation projects take time to make, like it can 5-7 hours to make a 10 second clip. Now imagine 30 minutes (which is how long the Hazbin Hotel pilot will be), imagine how long it would take to animate. Drawing every single frame neatly and correctly, making sure every scene is right, taking time and making it perfect. The amount of time and effort animators take on animating is astounding. Animation is hard and whether you animate or not, you know that it takes a great deal of toil and energy to do something like this, especially when it comes to 2D animation (which is the main animation style for Hazbin Hotel), where you have to draw each and every frame by hand. Animators need time to do this stuff and sometimes don’t when they’ll be done. Hell, animation companies like Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, etc. need time for this shit and it could take them months or even years to even start the animation process. Even if these companies have a larger budget then Vivzie, that doesn’t mean she can’t full-fill her animation dream. Like I said before, Vivziepop has already released multiple clips from the pilot, talked about the universe of Hazbin Hotel and it’s characters, and overall make the wait for the pilot something everyone can enjoy. If it were a scam, the animation wouldn’t look completed / smooth, Vivzie would not be talking about the HH universe as much, there wouldn’t be as many animation streams being made, etc.

Apparently, the video was so bad, misleading, and plain retarded, Jakeneutron (who is an animator well known for doing stuff related for Steven Universe), told the person off in the comment section along with other people who actually have a brain. This person, this fucking person, was just spouting bullshit claims like how:

“They only care about money than the project”

and

“It takes 6 animators to make the merch line and several days to release the merch line”

This person obviously doesn’t know how to tell a good lie because his claims are total bullshit and easily debunkable. The video might have been deleted since it hasn’t been seen near the top when you search “Hazbin Hotel” on Youtube but I don’t want to say it too soon, but if the video is still up then I recommend to not watch it as, like I said, just an attempt to start drama and get views from a pathetic troll / leech. Seriously, these lies are so bad I feel like my brain cells are slowly dying just reading them.

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

Next one, a video was uploaded seemingly in December of another random person’s “reaction” to the Hazbin Hotel trailer and was pretty bad. One of the most idiotic claims this person kept dragging was that this was for children and it is very inappropriate. How? HOW?!

How is a show about demons, murderers, villains in Hell (with mild cursing and sex jokes) for children? This person literally thinks that anything animated is for children. I swear people with that mentality about animation always being “Family Friendly” are just plain idiots. Like look at Family Guy / American Dad / Bojack Horseman / Mr.Pickles / The NutShack, they all have mature and inappropriate themes in them, and they’re animated.

Generally speaking here, yes I do think young children shouldn’t watch HH for obvious reasons. Yes, even though the characters are really funny and enjoyable and the animation beautiful, it’s not mean’t for a very young audience. You could tell Hazbin Hotel isn’t family friendly the moment they talk about drugs, Hell, murder, genocide, etc. but this person acts like it’s going to corrupt our kids the nano-second they watch it. Not only that, they were involving religion into the video. Unfortunately, due my poor memory, I couldn’t remember what they said, but what I do remember was the title saying “I’m never leaving my church ever again...” and the thumbnail being the person seemingly holding a mini bible. Unsurprisingly, they got a lot of hate from that video, but for some reason the person was liking every comment (including the ones that were going against him), which begs the question, What the fuck? The video was deleted, of course.

Now, oddly enough this person is special in a way. They may just seem like your average slanderer towards HH, but they’re a weird one. You see for some reason this person kept making “review videos” on the HH clips or videos apparently supporting HH. Yeah, excuse me but what the fuck? Are they trying to cover their tracks?

It’s hard to tell if they’re a troll or not because at this point I don’t know. First they slander HH, now they supporting it? What is this person doing and why?

One of my most biggest problems with their HH ‘review’ videos is how the jokes they make are bland, unfunny, and just confusing (to me at least). When they make an attempt at a joke, it’s hard to even call it a joke because it makes you debate whether to laugh or not.

For example, in their “review” to “A Cautionary Tale”, Angel Dust says he’s “Not too big on politics”, and then the person takes out a MAGA hat, wears it, and says “Well, then you and I are gonna get along great!” I think it’s suppose to be a political joke since in the corner it said *Republican joke*, but at the same time it comes across as not really funny.

My second biggest issue I have about them is how they literally have no fucking clue on what they’re saying. Like they have no idea who the characters are, the universe of the show, etc. and honestly comparing them to an average HH fan, they have the IQ of a penny when talking about HH. In their “A Cautionary Tale” review video, they literally claimed there was no such thing as an “overnight” in Hell and that they’ve been hearing people say that everyone in the main cast of HH died in the 1940s (even though most of the characters have different personalities based on when they died, which is not just the 1940s). Yeah, this ain’t it chief.

One of the most stupidest things this guy said was that Alastor was Adolf Hitler himself... Yeah no. Like I’m not sure if this is suppose to be some sort of joke, but judging from this guy’s low knowledge on HH and them being obsessed the 1900s, it seems likely.

Firstly, Alastor died in 1933, New Orleans (which was told by Vivz in one of Ashely’s streams) during the great depression before WW2, while Hitler died in 1945, Berlin during WW2. Literally, you could just google “Adolf Hitler” and it would show you his date of death on the right side of the screen when you google him, and for Alastor you would go to the Hazbin Hotel Wiki. It’s not that hard.

Secondly, if Alastor was Hitler, then he would have spoken in german or german accent, hate Jews / African Americans / Gays / Hipsanics / etc., have a swastika on this arm, and have the signature mustache or at least something like Hitler. Alastor speaks in a 1930′s voice and speaks english, literally (seemingly) doesn’t care about what race or sexual orientation you are, has no mustache.

If you went and researched about these characters more on the Hazbin Hotel Wiki, then you wouldn’t look so stupid especially if you want to be invested in the show’s characters or the show in general.

If you haven’t noticed yet, this person is into some war history judging by his interest of World War stuff. I can understand that they may not know, but (like I said) you could literally go to the Hazbin Hotel Wiki to learn more about the story, rather than make dumb assumptions on things you don’t know. You have the internet, use it.

If you think that making video’s slandering a show or person gonna get you good-ass views, then fuck you. Doing this will do nothing but bring angry fans and confused people believing the things you say. If you find satisfaction from that, you are fucking disgusting and a trashy human being.

5. Roleplay Bullying

Much like HH ship-bullying, roleplayers are being bullied by their way of roleplaying. One that has come to attention is one coming from the Twitter RP-Verse. They roleplay as Alastor and has been acting like a tyrant. You see, they are also an artist who do HH fanart and are well-known for it actually (but I won’t tell who). They would insult roleplayers for their ability or way of roleplaying behind their backs and it’s quite childish for someone to be mad at something so small and idiotic. The roleplayer would use their fans to try and force other rp-ers from the roleplay, as if they control it, which is false and you can’t really control a roleplay, unless someone’s being annoying af and I doubt that this Alastor roleplayer is doing what their doing for that reason. I can understand that territories like this can get pretty hostile, but regards to this specific situation there isn’t really an excuse. I’m not going to go too deep into this topic since (let’s be honest) is another version of HH ship-bullying but except it’s roleplay. Maybe next time I’ll go deeper into this.

So what did we learn today?

Today we learn how truly pathetic us humans can be. How people would go out of their way to conduct such petty crimes to satisfy themselves because they have nothing else better to do in their sad little lives.

I might make a part 2 of this post, since I couldn’t talk about everything I wanted to say in this post since that would take forever to make.

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

Thank you all for read my post!

I wish everyone in this community the greatest and to be safe on the internet. Toxic people are crawling left and right and it is important that we don’t let these people get to us, we are better than these people.

If any of you guys want to make a similar post like this, then go ahead! It would be much appreciated to help spread this awareness and make our or other communities less toxic.

Everyone in the British wizarding world knows St. Mungo’s is the place to go for any malady or injury. Over the centuries, it has grown and flourished with the initial space expanding to fit the needs of modern patients and hospital staff. On any given day, you can find a wizard have the flowers that replaced his ears trimmed and a witch reeling from noxious poison fume inhalation. Whatever a patient’s needs, St. Mungo’s takes great care in being able to provide.

Hospital Staff

Full staff: When most people think about St. Mungo’s, they think of only a few roles: healers, mediwix, and the bright shining face of the welcome witch. Their staff is far more expansive, however. Taking care of the building itself are the maintenance and custodial staff members. On the ground floor to run the Admissions Department are archivists who update and organize hospital records. Upstairs on the fifth floor are a whole team of potioneers, apothecarists, and herboligists running the pharmacy and apothecary, as well as the tea and gift shop staff. Together this team work to create the safe and comfortable network the average wix thinks of when St. Mungo’s is mentioned.

Trainee program: Healers and mediwix both have a six month general education, followed by a training rotation to each of the floors. Healers take two years with a rotation every four months for on-the-job experience in each department. Mediwix take one year with a rotation every two months. After spending a full internship on each floor for observation, practicum, and mentoring, a trainee chooses the floor where they feel they will have the best fit to return for another full term where they explore the particularly wards for the best fit and gradually receive more independence. It should be noted that trainees are not necessarily locked into these department roles if they determine that another place may better suit their interests and talents. It is also not uncommon for a trainee to begin their final four month rotation in one department and transfer floors a month in. The important part of the process is to understand how each healer or mediwix can flourish within the St. Mungo’s system. For the more particular wards with specialized expertise, up to six months more can be required in a program. Total, trainees spend two and a half to three years at some point in their training before they are considered a full healer or mediwitch.

Hospital Layout

Although the average wix may not be as familiar with it, there is a specific system in place that was used to facilitate and organize expansion as the hospital has grown. Some floors are significantly larger than others based on the number of wards or volume of patients, sometimes both. For that reason, the undetectable extension charms used across the hospital are not the same size for each floor. The units themselves also have been shifted and expanded where needed over time.

Explanation of floor coding: Each floor serves a unique purpose. Because magical injuries are often so specific, patients are divided up according to injury type. The first number of each ward’s code reflects the floor on which it is housed. The second number refers to the specific purpose of the ward numbered 1-9. Not every floor necessarily has a ward for each number. 1 is always an emergency and diagnosis ward. 2-5 are saved for specialized areas on the floors. 6 is for general care like physicals and precautionary checkups. 7 is intensive care for people who cannot be immediately treated but have severe, often life-threatening symptoms. 8 is recovery for short term stays and observation after treatment. 9 is permanent and long term care.

Purge and Dowse, Ltd: This is the facade name used for St. Mungo’s outward appearance, as the building is located in Muggle London. Wix can enter by traveling from the outside, or by floo or apparition directly into the reception area.

Ground Floor: Reception and Artifact Accidents Department

Reception Area and Welcome Desk: (Sometimes informally referred to as Ward -01 by hospital staff) Where visitors enter and where non-immediate emergency patients wait for redirection. This includes any singing, sprouting, sputtering, or otherwise non-fatal conditions.

Admissions Department: Where records are created and kept for all incoming patients. A patient’s name and birthday being written on a particular scroll automatically calls forward all of that patient’s previous medical history for review or a newly added entry.

Ward 01: Artifact Emergency Unit: For walk-ins and immediate care or diagnosis before redirection to other artifact wards.

Ward 02: Ignatia Wildsmith Explosive Care Unit: Where victims of (accidental or purposeful) exploded objects go. This includes exploding cauldrons and backfiring wands if there is no potion or spell specific damage inflicted.

Ward 03: Cursed Artifacts Ward: Where victims exposed to dark artifacts come for treatment.

Ward 04: Mishandled Artifacts Ward: For patients whose injuries were caused by the mishandling of specialized magical artifacts. This includes broom-related injuries.

Ward 06: Tertius Ward for Precautionary Artifact Care: General physicals for patients who believe they may be suffering long term ill effects from exposure to a magical artifact. Also general physicals for an artifact-related event where the patient has seemingly no ill effects.

Ward 08: Artifact Aftermath Ward: Where already treated patients stay overnight or for a few days when their injuries seem fully treated, but a stay for observation has been recommended.

Ward 09: Artifact Alteration Ward: For patients who have been permanently altered by some form of artifact injury and can no longer function on their own.

First Floor: Creature-Induced Injuries Department

Ward 11: Creature Emergency Unit: For walk-ins and immediate care or diagnosis before redirection to other creature wards.

Ward 12: Flavius Belby Ward for Creature Maimings: Where those slashed, gouged, generally bitten or otherwise disfigured by a run in with a magical creature go for care and repair. Sometimes seen as a vanity ward because many creature experts have little problem with scars or missing limbs.

Ward 13: “Dangerous” Dai Llweellyn Ward for Serious Bites: For creature bites of a more severe caliber, especially when venom and other magical side effects are in play. Despite the name, they also handle severe stings and poisonous scratches.

Ward 14: Magical Insect Infestation Ward: For anyone suffering from concerns like embedded spiders or magical worms. Though magic is specified in the name, they also handle wix suffering the effects of ringworm, parasites and insects considered mundane in nature.

Ward 17: Creature Care of Complexity Unit: Houses patients for a few reasons: severe reactions to an unknown creature encounter, creature venom complicated by a potions reaction, reactions to attacks from multiple kinds of creatures at once, or any other unusual situation which doesn’t fall under one of the main three wards.

Second Floor: Magical Bugs and Ailments Department

Ward 21: Disease Diagnosis Ward: For walk-ins and immediate care or diagnosis before redirection to other magical ailment wards.

Ward 22: Xavier Rastrick Contagion Unit: Where highly contagious diseases like Vanishing Sickness and Scrofungulus are treated.

Ward 23: Gungilda of Gorsemoor Ward: This ward’s specific focus has changed over St. Mungo’s history, as it is renamed to reflect the most dangerous and prevalent contagious disease is during a particular time. Since Dragon Pox is so specific and continues to have outbreaks, this unit has remained named after the cure creator since the 1400s. Even though that cure is not always effective, it remains the single most important step forward in Dragon Pox research.

Ward 24: Miserable Maladies Ward: For unpleasant but not inherently contagious magical maladies.

Ward 25: Mundane Maladies Ward: For treatment of muggle diseases such as the flu or pneumonia. Most wix of at least halfblood pedigree choose to check themselves or family members into St. Mungo’s if simple potion treatments aren’t working rather than trust muggle doctors.

Ward 26: Dilys Derwent Children’s Ward: Unlike most floors’ ward plan, The Magical Bugs Department handles general care as part of Ward 21 with diagnosis. As a result, this ward received special designation for children, even for general physicals. Unless there is a specific cause like a cursed object or especially nasty backfired spell, this is where children are often treated at St. Mungo’s.

Ward 28: Recovery and Relapse Ward: For patients who seem cured of contagious malady to regain their strength and be under observation until they are deemed safe to rejoin the general public.

Ward 29: Incurable Illness Ward: For patients who will never be free of their illness or who have been so affected that they can no longer function on their own.

Third Floor: Plant Poisoning Department and Potions Department--Run interconnected in their goals and expertise, Share some healers and most units across the floor.

Ward 31: Potions, Plants, and Poisonings Emergency Unit: For walk-ins and immediate care or diagnosis before redirection to other potions or poisoning wards.

Ward 32: Phyllida Spore Ward for Plant-Based Problems: Where rashes, boils, breathing problems, regurgitations, hallucinations, poisonings, and any other issues caused by plant contact, ingestion, or strangulation are treated.

Ward 33: J. Pippin Ward for Potion-Based Problems: Where rashes, boils, breathing problems, regurgitations, hallucinations, poisonings, and any other issues caused by potion ingestion, incorrect brewing, and general potion spills are treated.

Ward 36: Poisoning Prevention and Precaution Unit: For patients who will be handling dangerous plants and potions to receive preventative elixirs or protections, as well as general physicals patients who may have been exposed but show no immediate symptoms.

Ward 37: Cliodna Care Unit: For when patients are clearly suffering the affects of a poisoning but for one reason or another, the cause is unknown. They also receive surprisingly frequent examples of food poisoning, and some patients end up here for lack of a better location.

Ward 38: Post-Poison Ward: Where already treated patients stay overnight or for a few days when their injuries seem fully treated, but a stay for observation has been recommended.

Ward 39: Permanently Poisoned Ward: For patients who have been permanently altered by some form of potion or plant encounter and can no longer function on their own.

Fourth Floor: Spell Damage Department

Ward 41: Spell-Based Emergency Unit: For walk-ins and immediate care or diagnosis before redirection to other spell-based wards.

Ward 42: Dark Magic and Curse Care Unit: Where patients suffering the effects of curses, strong hexes, and other forms of dark spellwork come for recovery.

Ward 43: Transfiguration Removal Ward: For patients who received side effects or results from transfiguration gone awry or transfiguration which does not have a clear counterspell.

Ward 44: Balfour Blane Ward for Miscast Charms: For patients who suffer the effects of incorrectly cast charms or charms which do not have a clear counterspell.

Ward 45: Urquhart Rackharrow Ward for Unusual Cases: For patients whose symptoms are caused by spell-adjacent magic without clear causes due to unclear miscasting, experimental changes, and other unusual effects. This includes patients suffering effects of accidental magic by children whose magic doesn’t necessarily operate cleanly in life with commonly used spells.

Ward 46: Misspelled Precautionary Ward: General physicals for patients who may have come into contact with incorrect spellwork or be suffering long term spell-related effects.

Ward 48: Spell Surveillance Ward: Where already treated patients stay overnight or for a few days when their injuries seem fully treated, but a stay for observation has been recommended.

Ward 49: Janice Thickey Ward: For patients who have been so affected by spell damage or results that they can no longer function on their own.

Fifth Floor: Non-medical Areas

Tea Room and Gift Shop: Where hospital visitors can get a quick meal and buy approved goods to gift to patients.

Apothecary and Magical Pharmacy: Where ready-made potions and other treatments can be picked up, as well as commonly used ingredients for healing potions for the wix who prefers to brew their own. Some items require a healer prescription while many are available for anyone to purchase.

Staff Break Rooms: Regardless of floor level or expertise, all healers, mediwix, and other staff use the same break areas on this floor. It allows for co-mingling and has been said to be helpful in clearing the mind from the moment a healer climbs the stairs away from their floor.

Why of course you can, they are my darling babies and I’ve wanted to write more with them, anyway lol. (♡´౪`♡)

Thank you for the request and interest in my OCs! It makes me so happy. (ᗒᗨᗕ)

Katsuki Bakugou x Koge Naegi (OC) Featuring Matsuki and Otoha (OCs), with mentions of Natsuki, Atsuki, Serina and Daiki.

“Katsuki, you’re starting to sound like your mother used to!” Koge smiled up at her husband, nudging him playfully with her elbow into his side. “‘Where are my grandbabies?!’” It was nearly impossible for her to get her voice low enough to match his, having lost her skill of imitation from her younger years. Though, she hadn’t lost her skill of being able to make Bakugou’s ears flush with embarrassment at her teasing, her success instantly obvious as he playfully shoved her away with a click of his tongue.

“Fuck off Utsuro, I don’t sound like that! All I said was that they should have been here by now, I was just thinking out loud.” With a grumble, he sunk down into the couch, arms over his chest. “We have that reservation at six, if they’re too late, we won’t get a lot of time to just sit with them.”

“You’re fussing too much over that.” Koge cuddled in her body against his side, resting her head on his shoulder. His strong arm rested around her shoulders, pulling her in closer and allowing her to place her legs across his lap. “They’re staying over for the whole weekend, we will see them plenty.”

“I know, I know.” He placed a rough kiss on her forehead, his free hand resting on her thigh. “Geez, can’t I be excited for them to visit without you teasing me the entire time.”

Koge let her hand rest over his, tenderly rubbing up and down his upper arm. “Aw love, I’m not trying to make you feel bad about that. I’m excited, too. It just makes me think about how you used to get so upset at your mom for constantly wanting to see the kids, and now you’re doing the same thing. It’s cute.” Her pale blue gaze fell down to his arm, lightly tracing the few prominent veins on the top of his hand with her slender fingers. “Just more confirmation we’re getting old, though.”

Bakugou gave her thigh a light squeeze. “Don’t start with the old thing. Fifty-two and fifty-one aren’t old. We’re both still kicking ass and we don’t look old, either.”

“Seeing the kids with their babies makes me feel old just a little bit. And it’s their first birthday today! Our grandbabies are a year old already.”

“I’m actually glad that Matsuki and Otoha didn’t fall for that whole ‘throw a huge party’ bullshit. Just family eating out like adults is better. Unless they take too long, seriously!” Bakugou grumbled as he glared at his phone on the coffee table, still having not seen it go off for any reason. “I’m going to call them.”

“No you’re not.” Koge wrapped both arms around his torso in an attempt to keep him still. “Just let them-- eek!” She squealed as Bakugou simply leaned forward with her latched to him, nearly dropping her from the couch. If she hadn’t been holding onto him so tightly, she surely would have fallen, rendering her attempts useless.

Grabbing his phone and settling back, Bakugou glared down at her, now stuck in an awkward position with her halfway off the couch. “Just let me call them, Utsuro.” He grabbed her and pulled her back up where she had been before, holding his phone out of her reach as she tried to nab it. “They’re an hour late!”

“No, it’ll just be annoying to them! They’ll be here--”

It was then that the doorbell rang, pulling both of their attention towards the door. Having the position advantage, Koge was able to hop up before Bakugou, trotting to the door as she adjusted the position of her t-shirt. “Coming!”

With a click of his tongue, Bakugou stood as well, shoving his phone into his pocket as he followed her. “It’s not a race, Utsuro.”

After shooting him a sly smile over her shoulder, Koge opened the door, instantly met with the bright and curious eyes of her grandchildren, both on Otoha’s hips. “My babies are finally here! All four of them! Hello Otoha, I’m glad you made it okay.” Leaning forward, she gave Otoha a kiss on the cheek, before taking both happy and wiggling babies into her arms. “Come here, my little wiggle worms.”

Otoha handed them over with a wide smile. “Hey, Mama! I’m sorry we’re late, Matsuki’s last shift at the hospital ran over a bit so we had to leave a little later than expected.” Mentioning her husband, she looked back at him as he came up the pathway to the house, bringing two diaper bags and a duffel bag from the car.

Koge took a step back from the door, allowing Otoha inside. The sound of her greeting Bakugou was muffled by her own greeting to Matsuki, who shut the door behind him with his foot. “She’s got you carrying the bags, huh?”

Matsuki chuckled, giving a shrug as he placed it all down in the entry way for now. “It comes with the title of ‘father and husband’, y’know. It’s good to see you, Mom.” He gave Koge the best hug the two could manage at the moment with two babies in between them. One of them was wiggling and squealing already, though she was reaching behind Koge towards Bakugou. Knowing exactly what the little girl wanted, Koge smiled as Bakugou took her, holding her against his chest as she wiggled her legs in excitement.

“What are you squeaking about, squirt? Huh?” He gave the little girl a rough kiss on the cheek, making her giggle.

“Jiji!” She spoke behind her pacifier, gazing up at Bakugou with those familiar blue eyes. Chuckling, he turned his attention to his son, who came up to give him a quick sideways hug in greeting.

“Where’d she get that from? She couldn’t say it last time you came over.” The family began to make their way back into the living room, both children still in the arms of their grandparents. “Have you been teaching them?”

Matsuki nodded, smiling at his daughter as she continued to say ‘Jiji’ over and over. “Yeah, I thought it would surprise you. Both of them know it, from pictures. Baba was easy for them, but Jiji was harder.”

Koge giggled softly, sitting down on one of the couches with Bakugou sitting beside her. “Well of course Baba is easier. It’s because grandma is the best.” Koge helped the little boy stand on her thighs, giving him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled happily, beginning to bounce himself up and down.

Otoha and Matsuki sat down on a couch across from them, both seemingly very relieved to not have the children crawling all over them for now. Pulling her legs up onto the couch, Otoha sat up against Matsuki’s side, holding his hand tenderly. “It’s all they’ve been saying lately,” She said with a smile, watching as Bakugou picked up a discarded pacifier from the couch cushion. “They’ve also been saying their own names, Mama and Dada, of course. They’re pointing out objects, telling us things they want and recognizing people from pictures.”

“That’s so good! Very good, my little Noriko. My gosh, his hair is so cute! Just like you and your father, Matsuki, but it’s black.” She held the baby against her chest, letting his head rest on her shoulder. “And those beautiful blue eyes. My black-haired blue-eyed babies.”

“I’m still surprised about that, actually.” Bakugou let the little girl sit on his lap, allowing her to play with his hand. “Satsuki’s eyes seemed like they might end up being red or grey, but they’re blue still.”

“Well, Daiki and I are identical twins, so they probably won’t have any difference besides the obvious.” Otoha gave a small shrug. “I’m interested to see how their teeth will be.” She reached up and tapped her own pointed tooth, smiling up at Matsuki. “You might just have a house full of little sharks.”

Chuckling, Matsuki leaned down to give her cheek a soft kiss, making her cheeks flush. “I already love one shark, why would I mind having two more?” Otoha hummed softly from the affection, laying her head on his shoulder.

“Don’t be so sweet to me, you’ll give me cavities.”

“He hasn’t done that already?” Koge teased with a playful smile, running her fingers through Noriko hair gently. “You wouldn’t have any teeth left.”

“I’d take the risk.” Otoha giggled softly, her face only flushing more as Matsuki placed a kiss on the top of her head. Across from them, Satsuki suddenly noticed how her parents were sitting, giving a squeal of disapproval.

“Uh oh.” Matsuki chuckled, finding it humorous as Bakugou tried to keep the little girl from crawling off his lap. “She’s so jealous. Anything we do that seems affectionate, she throws a fit.”

With a click of his tongue, Bakugou picked the little girl up off his lap, holding her against his chest as he tried to keep her attention. “Hey, hey kiddo, you don’t need to act like that.” His attempts resulted in more frustrated squealing and wiggling, something that Bakugou hadn’t dealt with in quite a while. Still, he had a trick, one which was typically successful. “Look.” Holding his hand in her line of sight, he set off a crackle of small, harmless explosions from his palm, instantly gaining all her attention.

Eyes wide and curious, she watched at first with confusion, cheeks red from her fit as she nursed on her pacifier to calm herself. When the explosions ended, she looked up at Bakugou’s face before back to his hand, reaching forward to touch his palm. Once she was no longer touching him, he did it again, making her giggle.

Matsuki let out a relieved sigh. “I have to do that, too, sometimes. She likes it.”

“We’re trying to manage that jealousy, but it’s been difficult.” Otoha gave a small shake of her head. “Not all distractions work like they used to.”

“Natsuki was jealous like this.” Bakugou glanced at Koge, who has having no problems with the nearly asleep Noriko on her chest. “Towards anyone who I dared to even stand too close to.”

Koge nodded, running her hand up and down the baby boys back to soothe him. “It will get better as they learn to become more independent.”

“I know it won’t last. Hopefully.” Matsuki glanced up at the clock on the wall. “Speaking of Natsu, she’s late. And so is Atsuki.”

“It’s fine, we have a while until we have to be at the restaurant.” Bakugou kept up the small explosions, though he did look at Koge as she scoffed.

“So now you’re not worried about them being late, huh? Matsu, he was throwing such a fit because you two were late.”

“I wasn’t throwing a fit!” Bakugou glowered down at his wife, the tips of his ears flushing. “Stop making it sound bad!”

Otoha laughed, waving her hand in the air dismissively. “No, no, I understand! You were just excited to see the babies, Papa. I’m sorry we can’t come down more often.” Matsuki nodded, pulling out his phone from his pocket to see if there were any messages from his siblings.

“Once my residency is over, I should have more time to get away. I’m spending almost twenty four hours at the hospital some days, it’s more intense than I ever expected.”

“We aren’t upset about it, Matsu, it’s alright. We struggle with the same stuff, it’s nearly impossible for me to get away from the agency and your mom away from the studio.” Bakugou let his hand rest on Satsuki’s lap, keeping her distracted by playing with his hand and trying to remove his wedding ring from his finger. “It’s only been a month, anyway.”

Matsuki gave a click of his tongue, one of the few habits he had picked up from his father. “Listen to this from Natsuki: ‘On our way, Atsu forgot to tell us that he was visiting Serina for a few days and he wasn’t home yet when I got there. Little forgetful butthole’. Censored for little ears.”

Koge gave a roll of her eyes, looking down at Satsuki as she crawled off Bakugou’s lap and onto hers. “That’s not a surprise. Ooh, do I get both babies? What have I done to earn such grace?”

“Be yourself.” Bakugou mumbled, standing. Koge giggled, smiling up at her lover as she hugged both babies.

“How sweet of you to say, Katsuki. Where are you going?”

“We’re not even dressed to go out yet. Give up the babies, let’s go change.”

With a sigh, Koge stood, carrying both babies over to their parents. Matsuki and Otoha both took one child each, since they were already dressed and ready to go out. “Take your time, Mom,” Matsuki smiled, holding his daughter as she wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug. “We aren’t going anywhere.”

Koge ruffled Matsuki’s hair softly as she followed Bakugou up the stairs, taking his hand as they went. Matsuki waited until they were out of earshot before turning his attention to his wife. “Think we’ll be like that? Still holding hands and playful when we’re fifty?”

“I think we’ll be like that until we’re dead.” Otoha smiled softly, adjusting her sons clothes a bit as he sat on her lap. “And so will they. I just love your parents.”

“Yeah, they’re pretty great. I know my dad can put up a tough act, but he’s such a softie, he’d do anything for us. That smile on his face when Satsuki said ‘Jiji’ was pretty priceless.”

Otoha nodded, leaning up to kiss Matsuki’s cheek. “Hopefully we can make more time for family things soon. And maybe force them to babysit every once in a while so we can have a weekend or two to ourselves.”

Matsuki took the chance to kiss her lips, ignoring the whine from his daughter. “I think they would love that. And so would I.”

Time Moves Slow - Hermione/Pansy

For Sapphic September 2019 Day 4: “I don’t expect you to understand” from @rockmarina‘s prompt list.

Teen | 1,689 words | EWE, Post-Hogwarts, Established Relationship, Secret Relationship, Strained Relationship, Closeted, Angst, Open Ending, Unresolved Ending

(AO3 | My other Sapphic September 2019 works: AO3 | Tumblr)

Time Moves Slow

Down the hall, the clock chimed half-past the hour in the kitchen. Pansy could barely hear it over the loud silence emanating from Hermione. They’d finally reached the part of this tired argument that was so repetitive that even Hermione realised repeating it once more was pointless.

But the fact they kept arguing was bothering Pansy more and more. Enough that she couldn’t stop herself from picking at it again.

“It’s not like I’m dragging this on indefinitely,” she said, checking her makeup in the vanity mirror again. It was better than looking at Hermione’s face. “There is an end point to this, there always has been. All this fuss is pointless.”

It wasn’t as if she hadn’t been clear with Hermione from the start. She hadn’t even been looking for a relationship when they’d started. In fact, she’d been doing her best to avoid getting attached to anyone until everything was resolved.

But she knew better than to ever mention that it was really Hermione’s fault for pursuing her and being just so damn irresistible.

“Really? Pointless?” Hermione said. “It may be pointless but I can’t help getting upset every time you go out on dates with random men and never with me. How would you feel? Would you watch me dress up without saying a word? Would you let me go out on a date with someone else wearing a dress like that and say nothing?”

Pansy grimaced at her reflection. She should have let them both stew in silence until she left.

“I hate these dates as much as you do,” she muttered. “Probably more, since I actually have to sit through them pretending to enjoy myself when I’d rather bash my head against the table!”

A hand gripped her shoulder and turned her around. Hermione stared at her with beseeching eyes.

“Then end it,” she urged. “Just stop. You don’t have to keep doing this!”

With a sharp tug, Pansy pulled her shoulder free and crossed the room to pick out a jacket and pull it on. It wasn’t really cold enough for it, but it gave her something to do. It had been a mistake to move in with Hermione. Just like every other aspect of their relationship, and the relationship itself.

At the time, she’d thought it was brilliant. The papers had already revealed her friendship with Hermione, but never dug up anything deeper. No one suspected a thing, and it was so very fitting, so like her, to want one brief adventure into an independent life before she bowed to her duty and married the perfect pureblood man.

Her parents had never even questioned it. Hadn’t even tried to talk her out of it. Almost encouraged it.

Too caught up in how she felt about Hermione, and too easily swayed by her emotions despite how much she hated that weakness, she’d not really thought ahead to how it would play out. Hermione had seemed so agreeable about the arrangement, and she had always been so practical, Pansy hadn’t imagined she’d have such a problem with it.

“Why are you doing this?” Hermione growled. “You don’t even care about the wealth, unless you’ve just been pretending with me the whole time too.”

Pansy whirled around and jabbed a finger in her direction. “Don’t do that!” she snapped. “I never pretend with you!”

Hermione scoffed and folded her arms.

“Only when there’s no one else around.”

“I don’t expect you to understand that it’s not about the money,” Pansy said, fighting the reflex to raise her voice and snap about how Hermione hadn’t even wanted anyone else to know at first. If she got too defensive, she’d only make it worse. An emotional response only ever made Hermione feel she was right.

“The only reason you’re going on the stupid dates is to make sure they don’t take your trust away before you gain full control over it,” Hermione said. “Tell me how that’s not about the money? What other reason do you have for doing this? They could still disown you after they can no longer cut you off. They’re always going to try and force you to marry a man. Putting it off solves nothing.”

If Pansy hadn’t spent so long on her hair she’d tug on it from frustration.

“You just don’t get it,” she groaned. “If I reveal I’m a lesbian and refuse to marry within their circles, they have to cut me off from my trust, whether they want to or not. That’s just how things are done. They’ll ruin their social standing if they don’t.”

Hermione threw her arms up with a frustrated sound. “Then they’ll cut you out of the family when you come out after you gain control on your twenty-fifth birthday. You’re going to lose them no matter what. How is this not about the money? You don’t need it. You make more than enough.”

Pansy lifted her hands to rub at her eyes only to remember her makeup at the last moment and drop them again.

“They could, but they won’t,” she said. “I’ve told you before, but it’s okay. I understand why you don’t get it. You didn’t grow up with all these stupid traditions to discourage certain behaviour, all layered with even more traditions for the many loopholes to avoid punishment. It’s all about perception. I pretended so well they couldn’t have stopped me, and by the time they or anyone else finds out, it’s too late. I play the game well, and I get my reward of not being ostracised for acting out sooner and forcing them to disown me. It may not make sense, but it’s just how things are done.”

The clock chimed out fifteen minutes to the hour and Hermione sat heavily on the bed. Defeat lined her face. She was giving up again. Giving up trying to understand. They’d have this fight again because for whatever reason, Hermione just didn’t get it and didn’t try hard enough.

Pansy crossed the room and knelt in front of her. “By playing along, I save face for everyone and keep my family happy. In turn, once I come out, they’ll make a fuss, they’ll bemoan their situation in having a daughter who won’t carry on the line, but then it’ll die down. It’s only another seven months and this will all be over.”

Another seven months of pointless dates wasn’t something Pansy wanted either, and precisely why she’d avoided forming attachments for so long. She should never have let Hermione worm her way under her skin. She should have held her off for longer, even though Hermione had insisted she was fine with all the dates Pansy would have to go on to keep up appearances.

“If they were going to disown me regardless of when I come out, I wouldn’t bother with this, I’d just come out now to spite them. I don’t care about the money. It’s not about that,” she tried again. “By doing this, I save my relationship with them and everyone else in those circles. That’s what it’s really about.”

Hermione shook her head. “I just don’t understand. Why make such a fuss if they just accept you later? Why not accept you sooner? It doesn’t make sense. If they really wanted to discourage pureblood children from making the wrong marriages, it would make sense to punish them severely for acting out.”

Pansy sighed and touched her shoulder gently. When Hermione didn’t shrug her off, she gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze.

“I know, love,” she murmured. “But they learned a long time ago that punishments and disowning didn’t really stop anyone who wanted something forbidden badly enough. This is a compromise, really. Just think of it like that.”

Hermione covered her face and groaned. “I want to be the one you dress up for. I want to have dinner somewhere nice, hold your hand, kiss you and not care who sees. I didn’t think I would care so much, but I do.”

A heavy stone settled in the pit of Pansy’s stomach. They’d had this argument several times now, but Hermione had never admitted that before. They usually just went in circles and left nothing resolved.

“I want that too,” Pansy said softly, pulling Hermione’s hands from her face and then bending down to press their foreheads together. She kept her eyes closed and almost held her breath. “Just hold out a little longer, please. Seven more months and then we’ll have all the time in the world.”

Across the flat, the doorbell rang and they both flinched.

Pansy turned and looked through the doorway as if she could glare through the walls and her date for the night would bugger off on his own.

“Go,” Hermione muttered. “It won’t do to keep him waiting.”

Pansy turned back to her and bit her lip. That wasn’t how she wanted to leave things. It wasn’t the same as all the other arguments and passive aggressive silent treatments on date nights. She needed to hear Hermione say she could keep going. She needed it so badly her ribs seemed to ache from it, each breath hurting more than the last.

But then, if she pushed her for an answer now, she might get one she didn’t think she could handle at all.

“Alright,” she said softly instead. “I’ll see you when I get back.”

Hermione shook her head and didn’t look at her.

“I don’t think I feel like ice cream, wine and complaining after this one.”

The stone in the pit of Pansy’s stomach grew heavier.

“Okay,” she said, trying to keep her voice from breaking. “That’s okay.”

Before she could work herself up, she turned and swiftly left the room, snatching up her clutch as she went.

The closer she got to the front door, the more she wanted to turn around and run back to Hermione.

Instead, she plastered a practised smile of delight on her face and dredged his name up from the back of her mind.

She could make it through the night. She’d figure out the rest after that.

End.

Complete Black Eagle (read: Edelgard and Rhea) Thoughts

Now that I’ve finally finished both Silver Snow and Crimson Flower, I feel like I can put all of these thoughts out without worrying about a last minute twist. It’s entirely possible based on how much I’ve seen people talk about route differences that once I play Golden Deer and Blue Lions I’ll have changed my opinions, but barring some really wild and extreme stuff, I can’t imagine changing all that much. A ton of text under the break:

Edelgard

There was a Korean poll that was published recently where Edelgard was voted the #1 most disliked character in Three Houses... and also the #2 most liked character in Three Houses (behind Lysithea). It’s not a surprising result to see considering that she is the inciting antagonist, and that you don’t really understand why she does any of it unless you happened to start with the Black Eagles, but even then, IntSys felt it necessary to split Black Eagles into two routes, just in case you still didn’t want to side with her. But that’s what I think I found to be the most compelling thing about Edelgard: that she is a decidedly morally gray character, and how you feel about her comes down to looking at all of the things she does and asking “is this worth it?”

Part of what makes her so compelling to me is that no one understands her role better than Edelgard herself. She has no delusions about what she’s doing, and she never even makes an attempt to sugarcoat it to anyone around her. I made a post back when I first started the game about how I thought it was weird that her first support with Byleth ends with her talking about how she’s prepared to go down in the history books as History’s Greatest Monster without any context, but as the blanks fill in and time passes, it’s clear that she’s completely and utterly true to her word. "The ends justify the means” is the best description of her philosophy, but unlike a lot of characters (and people) who use that to justify their actions, she doesn’t take any solace in it, or use it as a way to offset the responsibility for all of the lives lost in the war. The end may justify the means, but it doesn’t make the means any less horrific, and even if the end result is a better world, it’s a small comfort to the countless people who died for it.

I think something crucial to sympathizing with Edelgard is that as far as she is concerned, she didn’t “initiate” hostilities with the church. When she kills Dimitri in the Crimson Flower route, she says “if only we were born in a time of peace, you might have enjoyed a joyful life as a benevolent ruler”, which sounds comically hypocritical in isolation coming from the person who declared war in the first place. But it’s because as far as she’s concerned, the systemic oppression resulting from the Church of Seiros’s influence on every Fodlan society means that true peace simply hasn’t existed since long before any of them were ever born. To Edelgard, there’s been a cold war between the Church of Seiros and humanity for a thousand years, and she took it upon herself to finally make it hot.

“Cold war” might sound exaggerated, but there’s something to that idea going on the evidence we’re presented with. At best, the church is ignorant to and/or idle on the suffering of the common folk and the corruption of the nobility all across the continent that exists because they grants noble status and political power to families that happen to have Crests. At worst, the church is intentionally passive about those problems because preserving the status quo and their absolute control is more important, and to act in any way to try to fix those problems directly could threaten their status as the center of power in Fodlan. Speaking of their control: isn’t it odd that the Church of Seiros was involved in each war for independence, maintaining their foothold in the old nation while also branching out and ensuring they were the dominant religion in the new ones? That the only time the church acts on their own (outside of an immediate threat like bandits) is when they are made aware of heresies, however mild, at which point they act decisively and without any shred of mercy, sending a sign to anyone who would dare try to cross the church? That, with the exception of Seteth and Flayn, the most devout members of the Knights of Seiros and the church have a fanatical devotion to Rhea specifically, and not Sothis or the doctrine of the church? The most insidious thing is that even if someone with the power to pose a threat to the church wanted to fight against them, the only people who could realistically muster up enough military might to challenge the Knights of Seiros would be nobles, and the fall of the church would also mean there would be nobody to legitimize their claims to nobility. Nobody would be willing to risk their noble status, and all of the perks that come with it, like that.

Except Edelgard.

This is actually what I like most about Edelgard, and why I was right to compare her to my favorite Fire Emblem villain: Zephiel. Zephiel’s goal in Fire Emblem 6 is the complete eradication of humanity and giving the world over to dragonkind, because he believes that humanity is a blight. He never says “I will lead this new world of dragons” or “My followers and I will live on to see the world of dragons”, which always led me to believe that he would eventually turn his sword on himself*. Edelgard, like Zephiel, does not intend to just conquer Fodlan and then just enjoy the spoils- once all of her affairs are in order (dismantling the church and nobility, re-establishing the church and turning nobility into a meritocracy, eradicating the Tunnel Snakes**) she finds a suitable successor (read: not her child) and then retires into the sunset (at least in the ending where she marries Byleth). And, if you don’t like Edelgard- or even if you do- this happy ending might rub you the wrong way, because even though her resolve was unshaken and she walks her path to the very end, it was still an incredibly violent path. This leads to another question that I’m sure people can argue forever: does Edelgard deserve to have a happy ending?

I’ve seen Edelgard described with a lot of terms that I don’t really think apply to her- like, at all- but I’d never seriously argue that she did nothing wrong. She is a dictator, and a warmonger, and regardless of which route you chose a tragic amount of life is lost as a direct result of her actions. Her alliance with the Tunnel Snakes is an entire can of worms of its own, because despite the fact that she has no control over what they choose to do on their own time, she is effectively still condoning their actions by relying on their power. The worst of it, as far as I’m concerned, is lying to her own people about who caused the destruction of Arianrhod and the loss of life there to prevent an internal conflict. I think with all that in mind, there are a lot of people who are locked into the conclusion that no, she doesn’t deserve to have a happy ending.

But! To create the world she envisioned, one where Rhea was no longer manipulating the world from behind the scenes, a world that would improve the quality of life for everyone in future generations, she was never going to have a choice in how she did things. Think of how openly and casually Rhea talks about how enemies of the church must be eliminated, without any room for discussion. Would a diplomatic call for the Church of Seiros to disavow the current system of nobility based on the possession of crests and for Rhea to step down as archbishop be met with anything other than hostility not only from the church, but from the Kingdom and Alliance as well? Even something as simple as publicly renouncing her own faith to try to motivate a cultural change just within the empire would’ve probably had Rhea dispatching Catherine to cut her down for heresy, just like she did for Lord Lonato. And the final, most passive alternative- returning to the empire after graduating from the academy, ascending her father to become the next puppet of the cabinet, hoping that she eventually bears a child with a major Crest or else watch her own children undergo the same torture she and her family went through. That’s just completely unacceptable, especially when that kind of self-sacrifice is only to the benefit of the nobles and the preservation of a rotten status quo that also only benefits those same nobles- and Rhea, of course. No matter what, she was going to have to sacrifice, and while what she chose would involve the most bloodshed, it also had the best chance of making things better for the greatest number of people when all was said and done, so her getting to have at least one ending where she is completely successful and is rewarded on a personal level doesn’t strike me as inappropriate at all.

A lot of what I’ve talked about with Edelgard has to do with the church, which is inescapable considering every single action she takes is motivated by the church. So ultimately, one of the most important questions to consider when asking “is all of this worth it” is “is Rhea really that bad?” Well...

Rhea

This bitch is fucking insane holy shit.

It’s kind of a nice feeling to feel suspicious of a character from their introduction, only for things to actually be way worse than you could’ve ever expected. For what it’s worth, this isn’t a case of me hating the character on a writing level, it’s just that I find everything about her character to be loathsome even under the best possible circumstances.

What makes Rhea so despicable is how simple and selfish her entire motivation is. Every single action she takes and emotion she expresses can all be traced to an obsession with her mother. It’s not that she believes she needs Sothis’s guidance to deal with a problem that neither she nor the whole of humanity can’t deal with on their own, or that the world will only be at peace if Sothis is around to protect it, it is literally just for her own sake. And on its face, I can deeply sympathize with going to crazy lengths to want to see your mother after she was tragically taken away from you. I also love my mom! But there’s a bunch of lines- both explicitly stated and implied- Rhea sprints past at an Olympic pace that I (and hopefully most other people) would not cross. These include:

Having twelve children*** and trying to turn all of them into your mother.

Having a grandchild and trying to turn them into your mother.

Maintaining direct control and influence over multiple sovereign nations over a span of a thousand years so you can continue to try to bring back your mother without anyone bothering you.

Keeping your closest friends/relatives/allies out of the loop on all of your completely unethical experimentation because deep down inside you either know how fucked up it is, or that they would try to stop you.

Ordering your subordinates to burn down the city full of innocent bystanders you are currently occupying to try to kill the grandchild who you put your mother into.

The one that disturbs me the most is what’s implied by the ending of Crimson Flower. In Silver Snow, Rhea tells Byleth that they were stillborn, and that their mother begged Rhea to put the Crest Stone into Byleth to give them a chance to live. But at the end of Crimson Flower, Rhea’s death causes the Crest Stone on Byleth’s heart to fade away, which should result in their death. But after a few moments, their heart starts up normally and they go on living as normal. They lose Sothis’s power in the process, but they’re just as healthy as they were before they obtained it. This leads me to believe that Byleth may have actually been born healthy and that, after their mother had passed from complications due to childbirth, Rhea placed the Crest Stone on their heart anyway. Or- it’s even possible that Rhea killed the mother herself, removing her Crest Stone heart after sensing that Byleth might be a better vessel because of their parentage. After all, Rhea is the only person who truly knew what happened in there. Jeralt had no idea about the exact nature of Byleth’s heart, only that they had no heartbeat, and Seteth and Flayn didn’t know about anything at all. Obviously, that’s all just speculation, as far as I’m concerned something like this is totally in line with Rhea’s character.

Now, to revisit the question of “is Rhea really that bad”, Edelgard doesn’t know about any of Rhea’s personal fucked up shit. What she knows about is what the church has done and what has happened under their watch and thus with their implicit blessing, that Rhea is actually The Immaculate One, and that she has been the sole driving power of the Church of Seiros since the church was initially founded. On a personal level, her own life and the lives of all of her family members were destroyed by the Church of Seiros’s influence on society via crests. And it should be noted that Edelgard’s not stupid; she’s very likely aware that the Tunnel Snakes are the ones who performed the blood reconstruction on her and her siblings at the behest and/or with the consent of the Empire’s cabinet and Lord Arundel, and she even addresses how awful they are and that she really wants no part of them when she approaches Jeralt and Byleth as the Flame Emperor. But, back when I first suspected that Edelgard was the Flame Emperor, I made a joke about how she has to deal with the fact that the Tunnel Snakes are dabbing on a mountain of corpses while Rhea is cripwalking on an even bigger mountain of corpses. But that wasn’t accurate- it’s not just that Rhea’s mountain is bigger, it’s also composed of people who are still alive, but suffered because of the Church of Seiros: Dorothea’s childhood spent as a wretch because she was born a commoner, the abuse Bernadetta endured from her father to make her noble wife material, Caspar and Sylvain’s brother being shunned from their families for the crime of being born without a Crest, Lysithea suffering the exact same procedure as Edelgard to increase her family’s noble standing, Hanneman’s sister dying from trying to bear a child with a Crest, to say nothing of the characters I haven’t seen the stories of yet. In the grand scheme of the game’s universe, this is only a sample of about 30 characters: what about the potential hundreds of thousands of other lives with stories similar to- or possibly worse than- the main cast? And what’s more, Rhea is not gloating about how big her pile is. She’s so utterly preoccupied with her mother that doesn’t even notice the mountain beneath her, and that might actually be worse.

Both

Finally, I want to briefly touch on the way both characters interact with Byleth, and how they handle things when they’re made into the villain. No matter what route the player chooses, Byleth does something for Edelgard that she has never experienced before: unconditional protection. She was prepared to fight the bandit, and she saw him coming from a mile away so I imagine she could’ve handled it, but Byleth still jumps in front of her to protect her. This is why Edelgard puts so much stock into Byleth, much to the chagrin of Hubert. It’s not that she doesn’t trust that Hubert and the rest of the Black Eagles are capable of helping her, but to them, she is Edelgard von Hresvelg, heir apparent of the Adrestian Empire. Even if their friendships with her would suggest otherwise, there is an ocean of difference between them because of their stations. But to Byleth, she was “simply Edelgard”. She has never experienced that kind of interaction in her entire life, and especially not when there was danger involved. This is so ingrained in her that even in the route where you most directly oppose her, after having spent a full year getting to know and understand her and still choosing to fight against her, her last words are “I wanted to walk with you.” Even that phrasing- that she wanted to walk with them, not that she wanted them to walk with her- says so much about how strongly she feels about Byleth. Is it waifubaiting? Oh baby is it ever, but it doesn’t make it less solid

On the flipside: something I really genuinely hate in games (and stories in general, but it crops up the most in games) is when people have unflinching, unwavering faith in the player character for no good reason. It’s why I think Persona 4 is a worse game than 3 despite being better in almost every other meaningful way. This almost certainly has to do with me not liking Rhea from the start: appropros of seemingly nothing, she is as dotting as any mother would be, she entrust you with an entire class of students lives with zero credentials, and in addition to that she is constantly assigning Byleth the most important tasks because she just has so much faith that they’re destined for greatness. Unlike the situation with Edelgard, helping fight off some bandits is not reasonable precedent for trusting someone this much. And the biggest reason I appreciate Rhea as a villain is because all of this turns out to be a ruse. All of this is in service of currying Byleth’s favor, to get them to trust her, to make them feel special, so that when she asks them to sit on the throne so Sothis can take over their body, they wouldn’t think anything of it. And you know it’s all been a ruse because of how unbelievably fast her turn is if you side with Edelgard. There’s no consistency between the Rhea who gently stroked your hair and sang you a lullaby when you were recovering from your trip to the shadow realm and the Rhea who calls you a failure and is going to rip your heart out of your chest.

*I’m extrapolating a lot of information about Zephiel and the world of FE6 in general because we just don’t have access to as much lore as we do in Three Houses, but I think what I’m saying are reasonable conclusions

**I call Those Who Slither In The Dark “Tunnel Snakes” for a number of reasons: it’s shorter, it functionally means the same thing, and it’s funny to me

***I refer to the vessels Rhea created as her children because that’s what I understood them to be when I first played Silver Snow, but upon rewatching the cutscene what she actually says is “I tried to bring her back by creating a body, and then burying a Crest Stone within it”. This could mean her own children that she bore, but it could also mean a number of other things, like vessels “created” from normal humans she acquired. For my own headcanon, the utter detachment she shows for Byleth when they side with Edelgard leads me to believe that they are, in fact, her biological children, but she refers to them so clinically because she felt nothing for them except disdain for not being able to house Sothis.

🌹🖤🌎 & 🏴 for your Boys! 👀

Boy howdy, this turned out longer than I expected. Thanks so much for the ask!

🌹 What clan do they belong to and how do they feel about them? Shep (pseudonym because this doo’s got like 5 names he alternates): Despite being an elder Ventrue, Shep has a very strained relationship with his clan, especially in the Final Nights. As his Embrace happened in an age where Ventrue primarily sought out military leaders and more bold figures, it’s difficult for him to digest the young blood (in both senses of the phrase) gallivanting about in lavish suits and avoiding direct confrontation. Piers: Salubri gaaaang. Discussing Piers’ affiliation with his clan is a big ol’ can of worms, but the short of it is that Piers came to be inducted in to the all-but-obsolete clan by none other than his own family. The Ashfields prided themselves on their history as a family of hunters, but unbeknownst to any non-firstborn of their line, they were being bred into Revenants by a Salubri ancestor. After the grueling process spanned across multiple generations, Piers was finally the first born with the ability to generate his own Vitae. Eventually, things come to a head and Piers is both simultaneously Embraced by and eats Grandpa Ashfield. There’s not many others of his ilk to interact with in the modern era, but he’d very much prefer it to stay that way. A common joke between him and Shep is that he’s still waiting on his invitation to their club. 🖤 How do they feel about being turned? (How did they adjust? Do they feel differently now than they did when they were first turned?) Shep: Ya boi hates it. In life, he was very much in love with both the joys and despairs of human nature. He viewed death itself as a reward, that he might feel pride in his accomplishments at the end of it all, but found his rest to be a mere respite before he’d come to know his new life, which he’d deem a far cry from the real thing. Adjustment first came in the form of moving far, far away from his native home of Greece, and from there, rarely involving himself in the grand affairs of Kindred unless it was an absolute necessity (as he so colloquially expressed to Piers: “I would not touch The Dream with a 50 foot pole.”). He viewed his new existence as a grim mockery of real life for millennia. It was only after meeting Piers in the late 1990s -- back then, a fresh-faced hunter with a temper and a knack for picking out the old man in a crowd -- that he’d come to once again feel whole; at least, as whole as one of his age and circumstance could. Piers: Well, he achieved that kick-ass Golconda thing, so he figures he could be worse off. Really, Piers never viewed a nice, traditional death as a reality for him. Even before knowing the truth about his own blood, he figured it would happen simply due to his constant close interactions with Kindred -- either as a cruel joke or out of jealousy, given the fact that he’d often fake being a Ghoul (at least, one with a regnant) to mingle with the right crowds. What he doesn’t expect to feel after being turned is the sense of disappointment that it wasn’t Shep to do him in. It’s a strange feeling to him, after so many years of always being this close to staking the guy if he so much as gave him the wrong look, to want to have been Embraced by him. He finds in unlife, however, that not having a sire to guide you through the nights (well, at least one that isn’t currently sleeping in you) is no cake walk. Shep serves as a fine adoptive sire, but Piers finds himself longing, at times, for that blood-bound bond between Sire and Childe that he felt the two of them had been, in essence, playing the parts of for years. 🌎 Do they try to retain any part of their humanity? Shep: He tries his damndest to, albeit in methods that have a tendency to backfire on him. In his growing years, Shep realized that keeping the Beast at bay is crucial to his continued existence (and keeping himself awake, for that matter). To remedy his increased hunger, he resolved to brute-forcing himself to feed on animals whenever he could. This, as you could imagine, was especially difficult for a Ventrue of all clans, and would often lead to periods of starving himself in lieu of being able to keep lesser blood down. Which, in turn, led to some ‘oopsie daisy’ moments of diablerie every few centuries or so. All things considered, though, he manages to uphold a higher degree of humanity than most others his age. Piers: He’s nothin’ but humanity, baybee. Actually, he’s got a temper that has the potential to knock him off his Enlightened ass if he isn’t careful. It’s likely due to his particular strain of Salubri Sauce being that of the Warrior line. 🏴 What are their allegiances? (Camarilla/Anarch/Independent/etc) Both are independent. In the past, Piers had a habit of hanging around Anarchs while feigning Ghoul status, but Shep’s always had a way to keep him out of trouble where it counted, even if Piers wasn’t wholly aware of his guidance.

Child's Play - Wizard!Doyoung

Doyoung just wanted to prove that he was number one in the Academy, not Y/N. He shouldn't have wasted time teaching these amateur bafoons that couldn't even master a teleportation spell. He could do it already, but he had to go and try to do it bigger and better. The rival between the two of you would ruin him, like usual.

Doyoung's backstory

-Stroni-

⁎ *⁎°؂✶

Doyoung was always first to class. Pen, pencil, ruler and workbook at the ready as well as his wand sitting diligently on the side of his desk. The professors used to be surprised when they'd walk in to only see him sitting there with both hands clamped together on the desk, back straight and buried in a spell book or something or other as he patiently waited for lesson to start, now they were just used to his early arrival.

"What time do you wake up lad?" Mr Spritz chuckled, walking through the door and placing his own workbooks and computer on his desk at the front of the room.

"5 am sir. On the dot I should add, the early bird always gets the biggest worm," Doyoung proudly responded, sitting up straighter if somehow possible.

"What worm do you get then ay?" His professor questioned, clicking his finger so the date and the title 'Teleportation Spells For Dummies' appeared immediately on the chalk board.

"The best kind, Mr Spritz. I allow myself to be ahead of my fellow wizards and maintain my spot as number one in the whole academy," Doyoung boasted in response as he wrote down the date and title in his workbook- leaving out the 'For Dummies' part of course. "Also, I hope I won't come across as rude sir, but I already know about teleportation spells. Can't I do something else?"

Mr Spritz stroked his beard in thought, Doyoung always seemed to stump him when it came to lesson plans. He knew his secret after all, every night when everyone in the academy were asleep Doyoung would go round to each of his professors and peak at any upcoming lessons so he could study before he...well he even needed to. But Mr Spritz had just kept that to himself knowing the range of consequences that followed when leaving the dormitory area at lights out, especially the kind of trouble he could get in for sneaking into the Professor's lounge.

"Ah, do you have any friends young wizard?" Doyoung was almost offended at the question, for complete opposite reasons as to why you may think. He couldn't waste precious time on mere amateurs, he'd do anything he could to prove his ability to the Greater Ones at the academy as soon as he could. That meant no friends, not like he was the social type anyway, his classmates knew to stay away.

"I don't see what that has to do with the lesson si-"

"Answer the question man!" Doyoung's facial features scrunched up, no wizard had ever risen their voice at him. Not unless it was out of major praise.

"No. No friends, just acquaintances if you could even class them as that," Doyoung shrugged, remaining unbothered by the lack of friends and more so at the fact that he wasn't sure what he was actually doing today.

"Then I want you to teach the lesser able today, or maybe you could team up with your nemesis huh? I'm sure Y/-"

"Don't!" Doyoung suddenly rose out of his seat, knocking his wands and stationery off of the table. "Ah, sorry for raising my voice but please refrain from saying her name sir. I forbid my ears to listen to that...that poison." He spat as he hurriedly picked up his lesson kit and slammed them back onto the table but made sure to gently pick up his wand, brush off any dust and place it ever so lightly back in its usual spot.

"Y/N? Doyoung you must get over this stupid rivalry lad! You're classmates, you work together not against each other." Mr Spritz scolded, then motioned upwards to point at the bell where it rang right on cue. "Now I suggest you pick something to do before you're forced to recite the teleportation spells for dummies all over again, hm?"

Doyoung slouched back into his seat, a very unlikely posture for him. "I'll help the dummies," he grumbled and crossed his arms against his chest. No way was he working with Y/N, not ever will he be caught dead even breathing in her air space. She was rude, stuck up and was always coming for his number one spot. That was his number one spot, not hers.

"Fine choice my boy! That's...half of the spirit. Please don't call them dummies in person, you know how the Lilies can get, it's bad enough that their Residence is called Lilies..." The professor trails off, going completely off subject. Doyoung wanted to interrupt, to try and explain to him that each Residence was named a particular way because of the nature of the wizard's in them but the ambush of other students crowding into the classroom put the conversation to a halt.

A unison of 'good mornings' rang through the room as everyone went to find their seat, pulling out their chairs rather recklessly and plopping down, usually chucking their wands carelessly onto their desks. That grated Doyoung the most, the uproar at the beginning of every class annoyed him of course but the fact that some could be so inconsiderate regarding their wands hurt him on a personal level. That wand gave them greatness, it's what makes them a true wizard. Without his wand, Doyoung was a mere Norm. Nobody wanted to be a Norm.

"Right class! If everyone takes there seats-" the door opened once again, revealing the poison bringer, you. Doyoung only referred you as that because you were in the Poison Hemlock Residence, they were notorious for their consistent pranks across school and altogether childish behaviour. You seemed an exception, apart from the fact that you were constantly stealing Doyoung's hard work.

"Ah, late again miss Y/N," Mr Spritz observed with a raised eyebrow. "It seems to be becoming a habit, let's not have it happen again."

You merely shrugged in response as you walked to your desk at the back of the room and immediately sat with your head buried in your arms on the desk. Doyoung hissed in disgust, just recently you had had a complete change in attitude. Going from the usual stuck up class pet to the stuck up, rude, slacking-

"Right!" Mr Spritz shouted clapping his hands together. "Mister Doyoung is going to help out in class today so any fellow Dragon Snaps will be happy to hear that that means more points on the board for you," the other members of Doyoung's Residence cheered at him but he just sat their with a smug smile, shaking them off with a wave of his hand.

"So let class begin, all you'll need is the basics to the potion and your wands! If you're struggling just call me or Doyoung, or if you want to work independently then find the Spell in the Books at the back. Happy teleporting!" Mr Spritz snapped his fingers, making multiple ingredients and potion brewery stations appear out of thin air. "You'll only teleport on Academy Grounds so don't worry about getting lost."

Doyoung sighed, this was really about to be the worst lesson of his entire wizarding life.

"Doyoung! Doyoung!!" A group of Dragon Snaps and Lilies called his name from behind, making him reluctantly turn around.

"Yes...you need help already?" He asked skeptical.

"Well- erm," one of the girl's stuttered, it wasn't rare for them to react like that either, a majority of the girl's at the academy tended to go into complete shock when Doyoung walked by. He himself hadn't noticed it though, he had just figured a majority of the academy had an awful stutter.

"What she is trying to say," a boy that Doyoung recognised from his Residence interrupted. "Is that it'd be really nice if you could work with us. The spell looks pretty difficult too so we'd appreciate it."

He did a quick scan of the room, there was no way he'd work with anyone from Poison Hemlock, it looks like they had all gathered together around you anyway. The others seemed to be getting on fine in small groups on there own...he guessed it couldn't hurt him completely if he worked with them, besides, he'd get Residence points out of it.

"Sure, I'll help out."

⁎ *⁎°؂✶

Never had Doyoung ever regretted anything he had done before, not until now. About ten times now he's had to shove someone out of the way before they exploded the whole room, on other occasions he had to go out searching the Academy grounds for students who had gotten lost. It had only been thirty minutes and he hadn't thought it'd mess up this badly.

"Ha! Look at Doyoung struggling with the losers," one of the Hemlocks snickered as he, you and another girl seemed to linger at Doyoung's table. Deciding it was best to ignore, he carried on trying to measure out the ample amount of ingredients for the potion.

"I haven't even seen him do one teleportation spell. Are we sure he's top of the class?" The girl cackled, pointing at the various burn marks across Doyoung's robe.

"I'm not sure, only a the true number one could perform the teleportation with this hued feather dipped in holy oil...we all know I've done it," you teased, waving the feather in front of Doyoung who immediately snatched it out of your hand.

"You stole this from Mr Spritz's desk liar," he hissed, holding it delicately in between his finger tips.

"Did not! I have quite a few in my room, I use them for teleportation spells all the time," you tried to rattle him up even more, it was working, the thing that annoyed Doyoung the most was the thought of not being the best anymore.

"I'll show you! I've done it before, many times!" He lied blatantly but still put on a strong face. "Just you watch."

"Prove it Dragon Crap," you snapped back. "Teleport to the angel that feather belongs to right now!"

For some reason something within Doyoung's core willed him to do it, as though he'd already revised the spell required word for word he began to chant. "Feather of light, Angel delight, take me to those who take flight and fight the darkness of the night."

"Doyoung what are you doin-" But it was too late, in one quick white flash Doyoung had disappeared out of the classroom, out of the Wizarding Academy, far far from the Academy. "What did you do Y/N?" He yelled exasperated, no one had ever teleported to an angel before, no one had ever tried!

"I-I didn't think he was stupid enough to do it! Someone bring him back! I didn't mean to Sir I really didn't-" you were cut off by your own sob as you blubbered. Had you really just caused the disappearance of Dragon Snap Residence's Kim Doyoung?

⁎ *⁎°؂✶

"Taeyong come here! There's some weirdo in a cloak."

Doyoung head was sore and his ears were ringing...had someone just called him a weirdo?

"A cloak? What are you- wow you're right."

How uneducated were these people? It was obviously a robe, not a cloak.

"Looks like a human to me."

Doyoung immediately shot up, ignoring the numerous complaints from his body. "I am not a Norm! I am Kim Doyoung, number one student Wizard at the Academy, and who if I may politely ask, are you?" Staring back at him were three men, all seemingly older than him, to be fair he was only eighteen.

The tallest one crouched down to Doyoung's level and sniffed, "He's a wizard alright. What should we do? I thought we no longer had access to the Academy."

Doyoung looked at him with disgust and hurriedly brought himself up to his feet, "I think I asked you a question." He frowned, he didn't feel comfortable in this- where was he?

"You're scaring posh boy Johnny," the man standing right to the ring leader chuckled. He had light brown hair which stood out against his devilish complexion. Devilish seemed like the right word to describe him.

"Enough you two, Yuta go tell Taeil to prepare one of the spare rooms for our guest. Johnny round up the pups and tell them we have a visitor, they need to be on best behaviour," the others nodded, took one last glance at Doyoung then smirked at each other before leaving the room.

"Are you going to answer my questions?" Doyoung's frustration was finally at its peak.

"I'm Lee Taeyong, an angel, that was Johnny and Yuta. Johnny is a werewolf, that's why he sniffed you. Yuta is a demon-"

"A demon? That's just my luck, I pray the Greater Ones get me out of here as soon as possible."

"That won't be happening," Taeyong shrugged, picking up the scorched white feather by Doyoung's foot. "Your way home seems to be broken. I can't get you back, all supernaturals are unable to get through the Academy's spells. They could come to you, if they knew where we are."

Doyoung gulped, he was really stranded here huh. "Where is...where is here?"

"N-City, you're welcome to stay. It's a home for all supernaturals, we could do with a wizard too. I'll sort you out a room to stay in but also an alchemy room if you'd like. There's also some spell books in the library if you're interested," Taeyong walked to the door and signalled Doyoung to follow. "But I suggest you eat first, it's the only way the pups will be calm, I want them to set a good impression."

"Pups?" He questioned, he figured he meant some more werewolves but were they really that young?

"You'll see. A fourteen year old and a twelve year old can be more energetic than you think, especially Jisung, watch out for him," it seemed like a warning but Taeyong had a playful smirk etched out on his features.

Doyoung didn't understand, how was everyone so calm to him, an intruder, being here in their home? Was it really a place for a supernaturals? And would he seriously get his own Alchemy room?

Back then Doyoung had doubts about N-City, about how good it would treat him.

But now, Doyoung is glad it's a place he can proudly call home.

You are being stupid and delusional. The only reason Dany and Jon's love scene was so short was because there were less episodes this season so there wasn't time. But you can see they are madly in love. Didn't you see how Jon looked at her? His eyes were full of love and so were hers. A short love scene doesn't mean that they're not in love, they simply ran out of time and couldn't make it longer. We'll get a longer love scene next season in Winterfell in the Lords Chambers, so it's okay. bye

It’s “fewer” episodes, not less.

“They simply ran out of time and couldn’t make it longer.”

Oh nonny… time wasn’t the issue… lol

If time would’ve been the issue we would not have gotten a beautiful 4:50 minutes long scene, between Missandei and Grey Worm, of them talking and then making love. If time had really been an issue, they would’ve either scrapped Missandei and Grey Worm’s love scene or made it much shorter, in order to make Jon and Dandelion’s sex scene longer, but they didn’t. They chose to give Missandei and Grey Worm a proper love scene, with feeling and emotion and with proper build up.

The only and sole reason you guys got what you got, a rushed and bland sex scene with no build up whatsoever, no tenderness, no sweetness, no talking and no emotion, is because that’s exactly how D&D wanted it to be, a short, rushed and bland sex scene. You really think they could not have made that episode 3-4 minutes longer? lmao

“But you can see they are madly in love.”

WHERE? 😂😂 I agree Dandelion has feelings for him, but SHOW ME where you can see Jon’s in love with her, cause I can’t find one scene, ONE, where he’s looked at Dandelion with the love and adoration he’s looked at Ygritte or Sansa.

“Didn’t you see how Jon looked at her?”

Yeah, I saw it alright, he looked like he was on the verge of having a panic attack lmao

Jon LITERALLY looked as distraught and as stressed as he looked when he got resurrected 🙈😂😂 I mean… look:

Now compare the way he looks at Dandelion in the borebang scene with how he looks at Sansa:

I feel a bit sorry for y'all, cause like… damn, if Jon and Sansa got a scene like that, if that’s what D&D delivered to us, I’d be pissed, REALLY pissed. I’d be like, “Wtf was THAT?! *(which was my reaction to the Dandelion/Jon sex scene btw, followed by laughter and the realization Jon is not in love with her and the UCL theory is real)* Oh well, there goes me thinking they’re in love.” Cause nonny, THAT is NOT how you show an epic romance or that two people are in love.

“We’ll get a longer love scene in Winterfell in the Lord’s Chambers.”

You know that room is Sansa’s right? That she is the one sleeping in it and that Jon gave it to HER? So unless you’re suggesting a threesome 🤢, you’re suggesting Dandelion will demand to sleep in Sansa’s room (cause I genuinely don’t see Sansa offering it to her), in which case “F*k you, Entitled Tangerine 🖕😡🖕.” Sansa has been through so much in Winterfell, in her own home. I mean, it’s huge already that she can live in a place where all sorts of horrors happened to her, where she is reminded of her trauma; she more than deserves to take some comfort from the room she knows her parents shared, the room she knows they were happy in.

And if you seriously think Jon will have sex with her in Winterfell… I’m sorry to break it to you nonny, but the situation is already bad enough without Jon confirming to the North and the Northern lords that they are having sex, without making them think that Jon is in/fell in love with her (even when in truth he isn’t/didn’t), without making them think he gave her the North because he fell for her.

So yeah, I’m pretty sure that there won’t be another sex scene between them in season 8, what you got in season 7 was it. BUT IF, if you get another sex scene, it will not be in Winterfell, perhaps in episode one on the boat before they land and before they arrive in Winterfell IDK, but not in Winterfell, cause like… can you imagine, if he had sex with her in his own country, the country he had to give away to her, because otherwise she wouldn’t help him save the North and the world? In the home he fought to get back, in the home Sansa bled, was raped and tortured? Like THE DISRESPECT. Every single Winter King and Lord of Winterfell, would be rolling in their graves, and Robb too, wherever his remains are. Robb died fighting for an Independent North, and Jon bringing Dandelion (an entitled, squabbling and self proclaimed Southern Queen who demands the North once again take part in the wars of SQUABBLING Southern rulers) to Winterfell and having sex with her there is a big FUCK YOU to Robb and to the North and to all that the Northerners have suffered BECAUSE OF SQUABBLING ENTITLED southerners.

So yeah.. again, I don’t think y’all are getting more sex, but if it happens it WILL NOT, under any circumstance happen in Winterfell, EVER. Jon has more common sense than that, he is playing a part, but he will not sleep with her there, and I do think he’ll actually use the “We cannot be seen sharing a bed together in Winterfell, the Northerners would not understand and would not be happy about it.” excuse, to avoid having sex with her (hopefully ever again) once he’s FINALLY home after that whole, bend the knee, dumb wight hunt and even dumber dragonpit meeting, shitshow.

But keep telling yourself (and yourselves) that time was to blame for your short, rushed and bland borebang scene, whatever floats your boat nonny 🚣
