Hi Jay. Not wanting to sound mean, but I really think it must be commented and that there's no softer way of doing that: the company's statement of Thunder Junction being an inhabitated plane prior to MoM is not a honest way of capitalizing on a sellable trope without touching its uncomfortable issues. It's even disrespectful. They have done it in a less flagrant way with Kaladesh and both Ixalan iterations, but now they've gotten too far with Thunder Junction. Colonialism is too big an issue to simply being put under the carpet as it never existed and we could just enjoy the sunny part of the history. I really hope Hasbro as a company acknowledges this and changes its way of dealing with the theme. Thanks for letting me pointing this.

Look, you caught me on a bad day, so I'm going to be as polite as possible but let's start with the foundation that this is not a complaint to direct at me. I have no control over any of this. Mark Rosewater exists and takes feedback on Tumblr.

But, let's talk about it, because I've seen some folks take this to extremes.

First off, I've seen a lot of well meaning folks speaking up on behalf of hypothetical indigenous americans, but I'd love to get takes from folks this actually impacts. I'd love for Wizards to post something about their work with cultural consultants, for sure. But the only actual thing I've seen so far is a great story from Magic's first indigenous american author. And when you're speaking on someone else's behalf, you tend to miss things. Like, Kaladesh is not the great representation of south asian culture that you might think when you jumped to it, and it's okay if you didn't know that, but it sort of proves the point that it's very difficult to actually protest on someone else's behalf. And I just haven't heard from anyone who has also mentioned they speak from authority or are impacted by this. That doesn't mean you're wrong, necessarily.

But here's the thing. Thunder Junction isn't history. It takes cues from the American West, sure, but it's a fake world. And sometimes it's okay for a fake world to ignore the bad things that happens in real life and create something more aspirational. Magic does this all the time. Magic doesn't have homophobia, but that isn't really realistic or representative of the real world, is it?

No one, and I mean literally no one, came to me and said that people of color needed to be ostracized and not allowed to work alongside the white people in the demon mob families of New Capenna. That racism was real, it was systemic, and it was violent. But did it need to be tackled in a fantasy crime drama based on america in the 20s? Should it have been? I don't think anyone would have enjoyed it as much. Sometimes it's just fun to play gangster.

Similarly, the colonization and manifest destiny that was the reality of the American West was tragic, but does that need to be our only depiction of indigenous peoples - being colonized? If they were erased completely from the narrative, that would be awful, but can't they just have fun being cool thunder slingers? The Atiin were developed with a consultant, and if you want answers ask Wizards to talk about it.

There's a reason the Oltec were depicted as being sealed off from the Immortal Sun drama that had happened on the surface. To have an aspirational mesoamerican culture that wasn't affected by the Dusk Legion and Azor and all that.

To put it in another perspective, does every period piece featuring black americans need to feature systemic racism to be respectful? Is Bridgerton disrespectful (I mean probably but not for that reason)?

The reason I've framed a lot of this as questions is because I don't necessarily think I know the right answer, especially not for a fantasy card game. I've worked with tribal governments in my emergency management career and spent a week on the Navajo Nation, and talked a lot about perspective on things, and I would not presume to know what the right answer to all of this is.

Edit: to be clear, Could it have been handled better? Probably. I will never deny that. But also it’s a complicated and fraught topic and I’d love to hear from the people wizards contracted who actually know what they’re talking about.

There are plenty of posts where Justice League and Constantine sees Danny's Ghost King Form in all of its Eldritchy glory, from on being Lightning Based to one being compared to an event horizon, as he takes down the ghost that was giving the League problems and it basically freaks them out.

So when I stumbled upon this picture

I knew that this could be an excellent form worthy of a King if it was tweaked to fit Danny with ghostly elements, and maybe ice themes sprinkled with something Space related.

Like Vortex or Undergrowth is giving the League trouble, then this thing straight out of the Old Testament shows up, takes down the Ghost, and turns back to Danny who didn't know he just melted the League's brains.

Or, maybe during The Legion of Doom / The Light tries to summon the Ghost King for power/ take over the world, and Danny comes along looking like that and scares everyone there shitless.

How do you think that will go down?

I have had this in my drafts for So Very Long... Im sorry!!!

Holy *^$π, Batman!™

I LOVE the image, and 100% agree, it's an awesome base to work off with Danny.

I think it would be hilarious. Matter of fact, I wrote a fic about it. 😁 If you have an AO3, let me know and I'll gift it to you.

Ao3 here

Be Not Afraid- or Whatever

Summary: The weather god- though Constantine swore it was 'just' a ghost- had pinned down the entire Justice League. While they'd managed to trap Vortex in a two square mile area and evacuate civilians, and even arrested the cult responsible, they in turn were trapped in a small warehouse, protected only by the blood blossom spray and salt circle Constantine made.

With no way to fight it, they had only one choice: summon another ghost. Enter Ghost King Danny Phantom, stage right.

Rain, wind, and hail pounded heavily against the metal roof and walls of the tiny back office of a warehouse.

Earlier today- just this morning, in fact- it had been a bright and warm summer day. The Flash flinched as a piece of hail broke through a window. Constantine didn't flinch, intent on his task. Superman was still unconscious, Batman picking out shards of kryptonite from a bullet that had hit its mark too well.

It was silent but for the occasional pained gasp from their Kryptonian friend, and Constantine's low mutters in what sounded like Ancient Latin to Barry's untrained ears.

Thunder roared, and the single lightbulb went out. Wordlessly, Batman cracked a pair of glowsticks, passing one to him so he could hold it up for Constantine. Clark groaned quietly.

A cult of summoners swearing fealty to Vortex, Lord of Storms, seemed easy enough to stop; Batman made the plan and coordinated with everyone. He and Superman rescued hostages and dock workers alike as Batman and Constantine took down the cult.

It was supposed to be easy. Simple. It was anything but.

The smell of the weird floral spray Constantine used- Blood Blossoms, the magic user had said- was beginning to fade. A drop of sweat fell down Constantine's face. His lips were pressed tight, white against the odd pallor of his face.

"John," Barry whispered, "how much longer?"

Another window broke. Batman swore quietly. "Good news is, we've got the blood sacrifice ready," he joked under his breath. He winced then, and pressed his hand against the bandage on his arm.

It had bled through again, but the others were needed for Clark. In a rare event, the alien was the most injured on the team.

The cultists had purchased bullets laced with kryptonite from somewhere, which didn't hurt Constantine any more than a regular one. The same couldn't be said for Clark.

The magic-user hesitated until water started to bubble underneath the door, threatening the complicated circle of chalk and blood. He spoke, and this time it wasn't in Latin. Barry couldn't recognize it.

The temperature began to drop further while the air around the man began to shimmer, almost. Ozone gathered in the air, and the darkness increased until he couldn't see anything. Even the glowstick was a pinprick of light so tiny he couldn't be sure it was real.

A low rumble sounded and a radioactive green pool started to open. One massive clawed hand grabbed the edge. Constantine's voice cracked- but didn't stop. Another hand pulled out, and another, folowed by one more.

They were white as snow up to the wrists. One massive wing shot up, far too big for the office, followed by another, both black as night and covered with starry patterns. The next thing Barry made out was a crown of twisted black iron and glittering jewels, wreathed in green flame, atop two large horns, blue like sea ice.

The figure continued to rise as John spoke, revealing a second, then third set of wings and a mane of white hair which flowed in a wind he couldn't feel. Four sets of eyes opened, some solid green and glowing, some pitch black, some solid white, and the last a myriad of colors.

The thing's face was almost tan, almost the color of mortal flesh, but green scars like lightning bolts marred it. A thud alerted him of one massive foot, then another, both white and clawed.

The rest of its body except a shining white D was black as the void. When it opened its mouth, he had to look away, unsure if he feared or loved it, found it beautiful or terrifying.

Abruptly, the light from the sticks was back. He didn't dare look at Clark or Batman to see how they were doing; every instinct said he was in front of a predator, and showing the weak of the herd would be a death sentence.

Finally, Constantine fell silent.

"What's up? Kind of a weird place for a summons, you know," it said, and Barry swallowed. It sounded like a child, an old man, a windstorm, the shriek of a blizzard, the thunder of roaring waves all at once.

"I have summoned you, King of Ghosts, to take your servant back to your realm," Constantine managed, voice only wavering a little.

It leaned forward. "And the price?"

The thing sounded almost teasing. Amused.

"What would you ask of us?"

"Autographs," it immediately said. "From Martian Manhunter, Superman, Cyborg, and Wonder Woman."

Wait. What?

"I'm a big fan," it added.

"Should all of us survive today, we will do so," he agreed.

"Sweet. Gimme like 5 minutes. Maybe 10, Vortex is a bit of a bitch. Also, be not afraid or whatever. I'm one of the good guys."

It was gone, then, and abruptly Barry sucked in a breath. Sounds of a fierce battle echoed from outside for several minutes before the storm abruptly stopped.

Slightly singed, the Ghost King returned. "Hey, does Supes over there need a doctor? I know a good one in the GZ."

He swallowed. Batman cleared his throat. "We only need to get the kryptonite out of him, he'll be fine."

"Okay!" It chirped, then reached over and, without so much as ruffling the suit, reached into the alien and pulled out a small handful of shards. "I'll be back in a few weeks for those autographs- I'd say tomorrow, but time is weird. Bye, guys!"

"Wait- can I ask for a way to contact you? If you'd be willing to help in the future," Constantine asked.

"Yeah, sure. My Chirper handle is @realdeadguy, all lowercase, no punctuation," he said, "and you can call me Phantom if you want."

"Guys!"

Sam groaned and Tucker covered his face with a pillow.

"Dude, we know you just got back from a summons, but it's 3 am."

Danny rocked back and forth, wings twitching. "I met the Justice League! They're so cool! Batman was there! Batman!!!"

"I thought you were all about Su-"

"And I saved Superman's life, isn't that awesome?! I kept the kryptonite, look, real-life rock from space!"

"Rocks aren't alive, Danny," Sam muttered. Then, a second later, "wait, what?! You met the Justice League? Was Wonder Woman there?"

"No, but I asked for an autograph."

Laxus Dreyar x Fem!Reader

summary: madam i am in dire NEED of laxus headcanons. both nsfw and sfw. some general headcanons would be super cool as well as maybe him being whipped for his badass girlfriend or girl he has a crush on and everything that would come with that. cause i just KNOWWW that natsu would find every excuse to bring it up in a conversation. and also gildarts (girlfriend’s padre) take on it. i deeply apologize if this is worded weirdly 😭 thank you and goodnight!! CW: SFW and NSFW. A/N: Ok why is it whenever someone requests Lexus their asks make me crack up 😂😂😂 y’all are too much but I love you sm! Also sorry this is so heckin late. I had a few other nsfw whipped Laxus requests so I tried to combine all the requests into the one shot.

I imagine Laxus being such a tsundere to his friends, but the Thunder Legion always calling him on his shit. Think him giving Ever and Bickslow attitude about a mission and Ever just laughing at him telling him he’s such a grandpa.

Laxus loves his hair being played with. It calms him down instantly.

Since his fave music is Rock and Roll I can totally see him being into Metallica and Pierce the Veil tbh. It gives him the energy to finish his workouts.

When Laxus actually falls for a girl, he falls hard. But that’s not to say he’s whipped for them. Only yn has ever gotten him that drunk in love.

Laxus’ favorite food is Katsudon. I don’t make the rules.

He’s secretly ashamed of how bad his handwriting is, because of how Makarov used to yell about his “chicken scratch” all the time as a child.

It’d been three days since the lightening dragon slayer had seen you. Laxus hated to admit it, but he was really down bad. He couldn’t remember a time where he counted the minutes until he’d see someone again, it just wasn’t like him. He crossed his arms with a sigh, hoping that these irritating feelings would die down. He needed to clear his head. Yeah, that was the thing he needed. Laxus pushed himself out of the chair he was sitting in and went toward the door to leave when he heard it. Your voice.

The Lambs Wolves Wear part 6

Dark SBI AU where Philza’s human children were replaced by monsters. Start of ficlet is here.

It wasn’t unusual that “Technoblade” was late to meals. Philza wasn’t entirely sure if he needed to eat anymore. The hoard of spirits using Technoblade as a conduit assured Philza the body of his real son was technically still alive, but it didn’t change the fact his child looked less alive every day, pallid skin and sunken sockets. “Technoblade” was rather diligent in feeding the body they possessed, though often grew distracted, consumed with ghostly obsession. “Technoblade” had taken it upon themselves to farm the land, and with armies of ghosts set upon the task, there was little use for Philza. He was left to domestic upkeep, shaved down into nothing more than a sweet and nurturing caretaker. Hopefully such a docile persona would cause them to underestimate him.

Technoblade was stolen from him, but not truly gone. Perhaps it could have been some relief. Only his darkest nightmares could begin to fathom what the fates of his other children were, and yet he could still embrace Technoblade. It didn’t change the gut feeling that he was cradling the icy corpse of his son. Philza wasn’t sure if he could handle realizing he was watching his dead son’s carcass laugh and walk alongside him, puppeteered by ancient specters. No. The real Technoblade had to be in there somewhere. He had to.

“Technoblade” hadn’t come back from the barn yet. Philza frowned as he dished out stew, then ordered “Tommy” to fetch his brother. While Philza only pretended to care if the others ate, he needed to believe Technoblade’s body was still alive.

The demon whined about waiting to eat, then hmph’d and crashed through a window, morphing into a dark stallion as he raced for a distant barn. Philza flinched at the shattering glass, then sighed as Wilbur began to weave yet another illusion to ‘fix’ the broken window. Sometimes Philza wondered how much of his life was distorted into the image of a happy normal family, pasted over with magic to hide the real damage.

A sound like distant thunder cracked through the air. Suddenly he could see the towering true form of the demon that stole Tommy, hissing and recoiling as dark waves of an undead legion poured out of the barn, attacking everything in their path. War unfurled from the barn.

Ah. So the façade was finally over. There was a grim relief in relinquishing the fragile peace. It was too soon, he still didn’t know where all his children were. But Philza was prepared. He’d been covertly stockpiling the means to defend himself for a long time now. These creatures wearing his children wouldn’t kill him that easily.

“Tommy” scrambled back from the ghosts that charged at him. Powerful claws slashed through the ranks, but their fury was ceaseless and phantasmal. “Tommy” turned tail and scampered back to the house. A blur of his form, and a bristling raccoon burrowed around Philza’s shoulders, shaking and bleeding.

“He’s crazy,” the demon hissed, ringed tail puffed up. “I tried to help him like you taught me to,” “Tommy” insisted, expecting reprimand. “He attacked me! And he was rude! He wouldn’t die even when I tried to kill him!” Philza pressed a kiss to the injured raccoon’s forehead, ignoring the sulfuric smell. Only a little longer must he pretend to love them. He coaxed the demon and changeling into resuming lunch, promising to handle it.

And then Philza prepared to finally kill the thing festering inside Technoblade’s body. It would have to be fast, before the others realized they were next.

Ghosts poured out of the barn, the restless legions of the slain pouring out upon the land they once tilled. Philza gripped his iron sword, praying the clumsy holy runes he’d scratched into would be enough against the undead. And then Philza charged in, flashes of blessed metal carving through the ghosts. It caught the spectral blows of swords that otherwise would have cut him to ribbons. He plunged into an army. Flashes of searing cold scraped through his form, numbing his soul. Still he sliced his way through the ghostly legion, fighting to the heart of the war. The world was a blur of darkness, but a trail of blood guided him to where ancient armies poured out of his child.

Spectral hands ripped at him, though he warded them off best he could with his Prime-blessed blade. His sword was torn out of his cold-numbed hands, too rigid from the rime crawling up them to pick it up again. And yet Philza pressed on, weathering the arctic shadows cutting to his core. In the heart of the darkness, “Technoblade” curled into a haystack, shuddering as waves of undead soldiers clawed their way out of him.

The hoards descended upon Philza, shrieking and ripping into him. Frost struck through him, brutal in its cold. Philza stumbled, struggling to pass through the gale of spirits to the body they possessed. His heart began to freeze inside his chest, sluggish as it tried to join the host of the undead. He reached for the boy, fighting with everything he had, and slammed the binding tag onto him.

The spirits screeched as they were suddenly ripped backward and shoved back into “Technoblade”. It snapped to silence abruptly, the spell tag having done its work. The ghosts couldn’t leave their vessel now. Philza panted, each exhale no longer spilling condensation. His fingers were still numb even as the soul frost melted, but he stumbled over to his dropped weapon, dragging it as he slowly approached the shaking boy. Blood trailed toward “Technoblade”, staining the hay he curled in.

Philza pointed his sword at the hyperventilating ghost. “Give me back my son.”

“Technoblade” didn’t seem to hear him, mumbling over and over to themselves. “Don’t hurt him don’t hurt him don’t-" the monster began sobbing as he raised the sword.

And Philza realized he wasn’t going to be able to kill them. Not when they begged for mercy in the voice of his children. No, not when they shared his home for months, when they looked to him for guidance to mold them into gentler lives. “Technoblade” putting down their swords in favor of plows, “Tommy” learning to be careful in his affections, “Wilbur” slowly realizing he might be loved for himself and not the child he replaced. They all called him father long past when the deception was broken.

His heart howled. He wanted the monsters that destroyed his children dead. And yet Philza couldn’t do it. He couldn’t.

The sword clattered to the barn floor. “Technoblade” whimpered and struggled at his approach, kicking out wildly. Philza wrestled them down, catching the hands clawing at him. “Technoblade” was a bloodied mess, a gash crossed over an eye and digging down his collarbone to his heart. “Don’t hurt him dON’T HURT HIM PLEASE—“

And suddenly, Philza remembered that “Technoblade’s” last vessel had been murdered.

Philza brushed “Technoblade’s” hair from where it fell into the wound. “Shhh, it’s okay. If I wanted you dead, you would be.” It soothed the strategically-minded spirits a little. Philza would exorcise them in a heartbeat, but then he’d have to deal with the others and in that time Technoblade could very well bleed out. Never mind the fact he still didn’t know where the other children were.

He peeled out of his jacket and used it to soak up the blood, murmuring assurances. Slowly “Technoblade” began to calm, realizing they weren’t being attacked. Shakily, they explained that they’d accidentally hurt Technoblade’s body when tilling, and panicked, sure they’d be finished off while weakened. They kept apologizing for hurting the body, like Philza couldn’t see how deeply the ghosts cared for their vessel. Carefully, Philza removed the binding spell tagging the spirit, shoving it into a pocket for later. “Technoblade” reached dark hands for him, clinging on for comfort.

Foolishly, Philza thought that was all they did, till too late he saw the shadow and whirled to find his sword hovering over him in a phantom grasp. “Technoblade” examined the runes Philza scratched into the metal. “You have been scheming against us,” they said almost levelly. Red eyes pinned him from within dark sockets, staring up from where “Technoblade” clung to his chest. A spectral hand clawed at the fabric covering his hammering heart, poised to rip it out. He’d let his guard down.

Philza was silent, realizing he’d revealed his intent far, far too soon. “…I’m not a foolish man. You’re a warrior, are you not? Would you deny me strength? We all know I’m nowhere near you boys’ equal.”

“Technoblade” pressed the sword hilt back into his palm. “True. A far better man than any of us. Few soldiers are strong enough to stop fighting.”

Alpha Laxus Dreyar + Courting Headcanon

❖ Fairy Tail, Laxus x Gender Neutral Reader

❖ Headcanon, Fluff, Comedy

❖ Tw: Mentions of fighting

❖ wc: 1777

❖ @tojiseviltwin @kimnamshiks ❖ Masterlist Natsu~❖

. ⋅˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ ⋅˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

I was supposed to do a strictly Courting Headcanon but uh I got distracted...SO I shall put a strictly nsfw courting (and maybe some more bonus sfw) headcanon on my to-do list X.X Sorry

. ⋅˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ ⋅˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

We are going to do Laxus post his first fight for this one~ Because we love character growth in this universe~

Laxus is an alpha, a seemingly calm alpha with a selective and secretive short fuse.

He has no time anymore for meaningless violence. Laxus is too busy looking towards the future and doing whatever is within his power from behind the scenes to make the lives of his guildmates better

However if you purposely put yourself in his way, by threatening his assumed fairy tail this man will assert himself as the alpha and without letting that sink in he will strike

One blast of lightning is all it takes to fry most, and just to be a disrespectful shit, he will let his scent out so they are stuck smelling like the alpha who kicked their ass so easily and warning any of their buddies there is a Fairy Guardian ready to kick ass if they try to lay a hand on them

Unlike Natsu or Rogue he is not hiding or ignoring his alpha status, he doesn’t necessarily think it makes him better than anyone anymore. However He knows that secondary gender often leads people to be naturally stronger in terms of strength and scent

He is very mindful of how much force he puts into everything, from opening doors to helping someone up who fell. It would bother and upset him if he accidentally caused injury to someone who did not deserve it

Unlike how Natsu just has a generally lower scent unless he’s angry, Laxus’s scent is strong and he has gone through time to learn how to keep it calmer and not overpowering for those around him. In fact it is a rather grounding and calming scent that makes you feel you can rely on this man

He takes pride in his scent but understands not everyone wants to smell him 24/7 so he hardly ever pushes his scent out(except as a power move on assholes), and never scent marks not even the Thunder legion

Although awkward when it comes to expressing affection, Laxus is a very passionate alpha it comes across in the tiny turns of his lips, the stance he takes to protect others, and the crackling of his lightning (it differs in fights against guildmates vs enemies you can feel his ferocity)

This goes for shows of affection to his guild mates too, he plays with them like a jock big brother would the youngest sibling. He treasures them but also this usually comes through him unintentionally teasing them or pissing them off by how he interacts with them

Alpha Laxus is not looking for power, he is looking for a family. A place to rest and a place he can protect with everything inside him

If he is needed to lead then he will but it will not be from the thought of I am alpha so you will listen, but because he wishes to protect and he will serve the role of protector (not alpha) but protector for those who he has come to accept as family regardless of their secondary genders, primary genders, sexuality, or magical ability

He has learned to protect the strong as well as the weak and he cherishes each one even if he does not know them personally all that well, when family views them as his family thus he will protect them

As for Laxus as an alpha to be with you, well you must be a member of Fairy Tail plain and simple, or someone Fairy Tail sees as family

If you are seen as family but a part of another guild it won’t work for him. He has to be able to protect you and while he does see other guilds as friends he can’t trust them with your safety

Civilian? Oh guess who just got the best gig ever? Working at Fairy Tail! Congratulations~

He is a quiet partner at first, he speaks with his body and actions. You’ll need to learn to notice his glances because they speak volumes about whether he is watching you lovingly, worried for you, or just perplexed by your behavior.

Same for his body positioning, he tends to linger closer to you not like hovering beside you, but same side of the room as you. Sitting just a seat or two away, or positioned so he can be beside you in an instant if anything happened

Laxus is not huge on PDA, he just is a bit awkward because he doesn’t really crave skinship in the way many do

He prefers to gently fix your hair as a way of giving you affection before moving on to the next objective. Or cup your cheek and smile for a moment before he walks away to go get you food or one of his jackets

He will on occasion stand just a half step behind and to the side so he can rest one of his gargantuan hands on your hip and bask in your presence

Laxus will actually commit murder if he sees you crying. The snarls and way he snaps you up into his arms is terrifying enough to his guild members let alone the stranger who had hurt your soul thusly

He feels helpless but will be there to hold you and offer soft words of encouragement and protection. This is one of the times you would hear him give you verbal affirmations without having to ask for them. He will get revenge for you unless you stop him

If its because of unfortunate events, nature is nature after all Laxus will steal you away to somewhere safe preferably your nest so he can just be a strong shoulder to cry on, and later cook for you. Expect the best cuddles, kisses, and home-cooked food, unintentionally becoming more like husband material by the day

It's much later on in your relationship when he starts to act on certain alpha impulses

One of those is kissing you, he found you too cute before and he was in no rush to claim you. If you wanted him like he did you it would happen in time

When he finally acts on it, it is probably after a heated battle or moment where he feels he had nearly failed to be the man (not alpha) he wanted to be for you and is so desperate and filled with all the love he has been storing up inside for you

It’s a claiming and dominant kiss and later he will apologize if that wasn’t the sort of kiss you wanted your first kiss with him to be

Now he seeks you out sometimes tugging you in gently by your hips or cupping the back of your head while he presses slow claiming steamy kisses to your lips (or if he is feeling needy or worried about you to your throat by your scent glands)

If someone in the guild is getting too close or handsy expect his jealousy to leak out slightly in a small scent flare and him coming over to kiss your forehead and cheek and suggest you both go “-get a drink” “show him that thing you were talking about” or if they really pushed it “to our Home”

Another impulse he is acting on? Scenting for the first time in years! He wants to leave his scent lingering on you so that you know he is never too far away

It does ward off others as well, being an alpha but it was more because it's his way of claiming his mate as a man who is terrified to lose you and his family again

The times it is as an alpha is if you have to go into battle and either of you are worried about the other's safety. He hopes his alpha scent could deter any harm that might come to you, he knows it can't always but even if it helps a little it's worth using his secondary gender then. Please scent him back, it helps calm his mind that you will be okay while he has to fight. He also fights six times harder with your scent on him subconsciously fighting to defend his mate with all the deadly precision he has learned over the years as an s class wizard

If he knows you are okay with it he will often wrap you up in some of his clothes

It tickles his heart seeing you drowning in his huge things

He’s unaware of it but the others see that alpha light in his eyes when you wear something of his. All the pride and love of an alpha watching their mate but they really want to tease him for this behavior he's unaware of

Alpha status can sometimes be used by him without thinking if it can make your or the guilds lives easier or safer. It is less OOO I’m a big scary alpha and “Oh? Scared of alpha’s huh? Then get the fuck out of here before I show you what an alpha really is, scum.”

Would not appreciate being referred to by his secondary gender, it brings up bad memories and discredits his actual prowess and growth. Use his name, or his position as a s class Fairy Tail wizard not “Alpha”.

Is re-assured if you like his secondary gender but it's something he wouldn’t realize he finds relieving until it happens and you tell him as such. Although he would still prefer if it was not one of your favorite things about him

Not the greatest at understanding what the other positions need, but he is trying to learn every single day. Has gone to the library to try and find books that aren't archaic so he can be sure to provide the family or you with whatever you require at any time. He still gets surprised by things, like why your little clicks and prrts can grab his attention from across a battlefield. Doesn’t realize that is his mate's way of calling to him and him alone and he is responding to it the right way, he may ask you to be more careful about when you make those noises after he accidentally gets distracted by it while you were cheering him on and Natsu socked him in the jaw

I’ll do a more courting one but I think this is more than I had meant to do for just him as an alpha lol XD Heres a few little more but I’d be willing to do a courting headcanon, or nsfw mate headcanon if people are curious

What happens to the iron dragons and thunder Lords after Nora and Yang's passing? Do they have some way to keep their memories alive? What about the rules they had in Legion what happens to those?

Loyal Au: The 2 companies became their chapters when the Legion split. With Yang passing peacefully at the age of 109, she was buried with her family, the private cemetery heavily guarded by three Iron Dragons at all times. Her gauntlets were reforged, at her request, into weapons befitting of the Iron Dragons chapter master. They are a symbol of his office and one of the very few things they have left of her. Iron Dragons repainted their armor to match her palette. Their chapter insignia being Yangs with a Dragon's skull in the center of it. They do their best to live up to her legacy.

Chaos Au: Yang's violent death came to destroy the Iron Dragons. In their anguish, as their Legion fell to the powers of Malal, the Iron Dragons allowed themselves to be possessed by great daemons in order to gain the power they need to avenge their mother. Great was their rage and Anguish, their need for power, that they actually turned the tables into the daemons that possessed them. Instead, devouring the daemons within themselves to harness the power, greatly mutating into their namesake while growing massive in size and keeping their will and personality. The Iron Dragons are extremely violent and ensure they rain down fire from the sky.

Thunder Lords

Loyal Au: The Thunder Lords chapter is unusual in the fact they are small in number and all their battle brothers use only terminator armor. The reason why they have such an amount is because they scavenged as many as they could during the heresy. Raiding Traitor Armories and scavenging them off the dead, both traitor and loyal. As such, the chapter is only 300 strong. As such they have a motto "Strike like a hammer! Hard and thunderous!" The peaceful passing of Nora at 98 did hit the the Thunder Lords hard. Repainting their armor to match her colors and wearing her symbol with great pride. They honor Nora by being not only being the heaviest hitters but coming down like a hammer upon their enemies, destroying everything in one fatal strike. The chapter keeps itself at its current strength due to limited number of Terminator armor. Much like Yang's weapon, Nora's was reforged into a might Thunder hammer for the Chapter Master to signify his status and office. It is a terrifying weapon capable of much more devastating destruction than it previously was, know that their mother would absolutely love it as such.

Chaos Au: Holding their Nora as she took her final breath in front of them sent every single Thunder Lord into an eternal rage. Their minds became fragmented at the lost of their mother and even more so when they mutated into Chaos Obliterators when they fully gave themselves to Malal who bestowed them his own vile version of the virus that severely mutated them and turned them into violent hulking killing machines. Fused to their very armor, they are in eternal agony but also eternally furious as they relive the moment of Nora's death in their minds. Seeing both allies and enemies as obstacles in their way to save Nora, always calling out for her. Forever reliving that moment. In a subconscious vain attempt to be closer to her, their right arms are permanently fused to their thunderhammers. Swinging violently to anyone that gets near them. Their are only 40 of them left (bit of a retcon from 10 I stated before.) Gunnvaldr is the only one of his brethren to keep his sanity and the only one they listen to outside of Jaune. Even at times, above Jaune. They are kept in stasis or restrained.

ZOOM IN FOR BETTER QUALITY

@fairytail-redraw

OKAY…This was hard!

The prompts this month are something I was struggling so much on…and I couldn’t fathom why. The fact I was having such a difficult time was proof enough that I needed to at least get one of them done! Practice makes perfect.

I’m not very happy with my drawing for this month (*cough* EVERGREEN *cough*), but this blog has become my own little progress diary in a way, so I wanted to post it for me to look back on. With that being said…

The Thunder Legion! I never give this group any love, but I do adore them! Especially Freed.

Despite the struggle, I had a lot of fun drawing a prompt for this month. Happy early New Year everyone since I probably won’t post another drawing before 2024! 💜

hello! I saw that you are open for requests and I was wondering if you would like to write something for Freed x gender neutral or fem reader? maybe him having fun flustering and teasing his s/o or anything you want really! <3 I hope this can distract you a little!

Summary: Dating a member of the Thunder Legion was fun but when he can be clueless feelings get jumbled

Paring: Freed Justine x gn! Reader

Word count: 1211

A/N: Thanks for requesting. So, I personally don’t think Freed would be the type to tease or try to fluster his S/O, so I tried to flip it with S/O doing the teasing but then it turned into a jealous S/O to comfort fic with like one teasing comment. But I hope you like it anyway. Enjoy. Also, I love the look on his face in that gif he just a soft boy. MINORS AND AGELESS BLOGS DO NOT INTERACT

Dating a member of the Thunder Legion can be stressful, after all they tend to go on some of the most dangerous missions, but the most annoying part is when said member you are dating follows Laxus around like a lost puppy half the time. Yes, I’m dating Freed and as much as I love the rune mage, it can be annoying watching him give so much attention to someone else. Don’t get me wrong I think it’s kind of funny, but I can’t help but to feel a little jealous. I try not to show it though, I like to hide it by teasing him about it. After a couple comments from me he usually realizes what's happening and stops, but recently he hasn’t been picking up on it as quickly.

That is exactly what is happening right now, I’m sitting with the Thunder Legion in the guild hall. I would like to just be able to spend time with my boyfriend while he’s not on a job but no he has to be following Laxus around. I could feel Evergreen’s eyes on me as I watched Freed talk to Laxus about who knows what.

“Can I help you Evergreen?” I asked, taking my gaze off the green haired mage.

She just rolled her eyes at me before responding. “You know if it bugs you so much that he’s close to Laxus you should just get over yourself and tell him, If you don’t out right tell him, he won’t change”

I nodded along with what she was saying. She was right in a way, as smart as Freed is he can be clueless sometimes, especially with people and feelings. “You’re right, but I don’t want him to change, I think it’s sweet that he cares so much about Laxus. I just wish he would spend more time with just me, it’s like I only see him when you guys get back from jobs and even then we are always around you guys. It’s never just the two of us.”

“Just tell him that, stop making dumb jokes to him about it when you get jealous, eventually he’s not gonna realize that it bothers you. Ever’s right tell him to his face that you’re upset.” Bickslow said, joining the conversation, with an echo coming from his babies of “tell him, yeah tell him”

I swatted away one of the floating dolls rolling my eyes at the two. “I know that I just don’t want to make him feel bad. I don’t want him to feel like I’m upset about it.” I tried to explain why I hadn't said anything yet.

“Make who feel bad about what? Did something happen, do I need to use Dark Écriture on someone?” Freed asked as he and Laxus made their way back to our group after getting drinks from the bar for all of us. I was glad he had missed the rest of our conversation, I really don’t want him to feel bad about it.

I smiled up at him as he sat next to me, greeting me with a quick peek on the lips. “Oh it’s nothing Natsu was just -” “Y/n wants to talk to you privately about something.” Evergreen stopped me from finishing my lie, forcing Freed to look at her in concern before looking back at me.

“ Well let's go for a walk then, and you can tell me whatever it is you need too.” Freed said, standing back up and pulling me up with him. I nodded in agreement as I followed him out of the guild hall hearing chuckles from our friends as I presumed, the two aware the situation filled Laxus in as we left.

Once we were far enough from the guild hall that Freed felt confident that none of our guild members would hear our conversation. He stopped us and turned to me. “What's wrong Y/n? Is it really about something Natsu did or is there something else going on?”

I turned my head away thinking of how to bring everything up without making him feel bad. “Natsu didn’t do anything. I was just nervous to tell you the truth. Now I don’t want you to feel bad about it so you have to promise that you won’t blame yourself.” I said, finally turning back to face him.

“You’re not breaking up with me are you?” he asked with a frown forming on his face.

“Oh god no, I could never do that, I love you too much to do that. It’s just I feel like you don’t want to spend time with me anymore." I said, trying to calm his heart. “I know you are busy taking jobs and stuff with the Thunder Legion and all, but whenever you get back you only seem to want to spend time with them and there’s no time for just you and me. I love that you care for our friends but it would be nice if every once in a while we spent time with just the two of us, when we are both home from jobs.” Finally getting this off my chest felt great, but I was still scared to see his reaction.

It was silent for a minute as I watched him process what I had said, and it was almost like he was replaying the last few times we all happened to be back from the near constant stream of jobs.

“I love you too, and you’re right we haven’t been spending a lot of time just the two of us. I’m sorry for that, to make up for you, we are both going to take a week off from taking jobs and just relax together. I truly am sorry for making you feel like I didn’t want to hang out with just you. I honestly thought you wanted to hang out with everyone and didn’t even think to ask if you felt different. I promise to try harder at asking about your feelings and to make time for just you.” Freed said resting his hand on my cheek, smiling gently at me.

I leaned into his warm touch smiling at him as I took in his apology. “Thank you, I truly appreciate it, but it’s partly on me as well. I should have said something more. But, I can’t wait to take a week off, I'm tired of listening to you fawn over Lauxs all the time.” I said with chuckle breaking the soft moment we were having to poke fun at the green haired mage.

He pulled his hand away rolling his eyes, “I do not fawn over Laxus, I just care about my friends. But whatever, let's just go back to your apartment and rest. We both need it.” He said defending himself before grabbing my hand and walking in the direction of my apartment. “We can tell makarov that we are taking a break in the morning.”

And with that we were off to enjoy some time alone, just the two of us. Sure when we get back we’ll probably deal with some teasing and stupid jokes from the rest of the guild but I’ll deal with it if I get to relax with my favorite mage.

s/o who is sensitive to yelling hcs ; red velvet cookie

requested by ; anonymous (07/02/23)

fandom(s) ; cookie run

fandom masterlist(s) ; hub | specific

character(s) ; red velvet cookie

outline ; “privyet, ive been reading ur writing for a lil bit and i was wondering if you would be able to do a red velvet cookie x GN reader who is sensitive to yelling, its ok if ur not able to tho-”

warning(s) ; none, just fluff!

whilst most of those he comes cross in battle tend to fear him for his thunderous battle cries, his legion of snarling beasts and his generally unapproachable demeanour, red velvet cookie is incredibly attentive and protective of those who he cares about — namely you, his spouse, and his four legged family, his legion

he memorises everything about you that you love (favourite colours, aesthetics, foods and important dates) but he also recognises the parts of yourself you aren’t necessarily fond of and loves them enough for you both

he adores you for all of your weaknesses and strengths and eccentricities and quirks — frequently adapting to accommodate you and your needs/wants as best as he can (meal plans, carving time out for dates, learning to be more physically affectionate if that’s your love language, etc.)

so the moment he recognises that you’re upset, uncomfortable or otherwise super sensitive to his yelling he’s going to try and find some ways to work around this particular part of yourself

he makes a point to lower his voice when talking directly to you or when you’re in the same space as each other, consciously doing whatever he can to avoid shouting or yelling in your vicinity — and as a bonus his whispering voice is very easy on the ears

though because of his role within the cookies of darkness, there are times where he does need to yell much in the same way that there are times where he’ll need to fight others — in either scenario he’s going to have you evacuate the vicinity (either by instructing you to leave himself or by having some of his cakehounds basically carry you away to somewhere safe)

Hihi!! If u want to do u think u can share some thunder legion and specifically fraxus hcs? I love them sm and ur hcs are always so good lol

Do I wanna talk about one of my favorite ships and my favorite team in Fairy Tail? Always!

Also I have a whole bunch of Raijinshuu posts coming up so this one is gonna be specifically them meddling in Fraxus relationship, if that's alright (trust me there's gonna be so many posts coming up)

Evergreen and Bickslow have been trying to get Freed and Laxus together for years

When Laxus was an asshole, they had hoped Freed would be able to calm him down

Freed has always been the only one not scared of Laxus' wrath. He never flinched when Laxus shot lightning at him because he knew Laxus wouldn't actually hurt him

It had been clear from that start that Freed was Laxus' favorite

When Laxus was brought back to the guild and had chilled out, that's when Evergreen and Bickslow decided it was time to start playing matchmaker more seriously

Because now they knew Laxus would treat Freed right

Bickslow begins sending his babies to gather information about the two men

Evergreen starts questioning Laxus about his taste in partners (aka trying to ask his sexuality without yelling "Hey Laxus do you like men or nah?!")

It took so long to figure out Laxus' sexuality. Bickslow had to get involved and come out to Laxus

Laxus thought Bix was confessing his love for him tho. And Laxus turned him down saying he had feelings for someone else

Bix got offended that he was rejected (even tho he wasn't interested but that's not the point. How dare Laxus) but Evergreen jumped on it and started girl talk

They grilled Laxus for literally hours and only got a few details that implied it was Freed. Plus when Freed came in, Laxus shut up and got all red

Ever gave Laxus the 'Ik your secret' look and Laxus turned even more red

Evergreen finally got Laxus to confess a couple days later

Bickslow started convincing Freed to make a move. Freed refused saying Bix was an idiot and Laxus wasn't into men

Bix gave up and decided to take a more hands on approach. He grabbed Laxus and Ever grabbed Freed then they shoved them both in a room and locked the door

They covered the bedroom in rose petals, candles and even had a little picnic area set up

Freed and Laxus sat in that room silently for 3 hours before one of them finally addressed the elephant in the room

Laxus admitted his feelings very awkwardly and Freed, being the genius he is, decided Laxus was just confused

Bickslow threw the biggest temper tantrum. Evergreen refused to speak to any of them for literal days

Laxus was spurred on by Freed's disbelief and decided to prove it to him

With the help of Bix and Ever... Well mostly Evergreen. Bickslow's idea of romance is repeatedly giving the person rocks until they fall in love

While Laxus said Bix was stupid, he did offer Freed a rock. Just in case

#my inbox is full of requests for all of them right now and I am living for it #this turned into a fic too #idk what happened lmao #I just love them all so much #anon <3 #loved doing this #love fraxus so much #fairy tail #fairy tail headcanons #laxus dreyar #freed justine #fairy tail evergreen #bickslow #thunder legion #fraxus #raijinshuu

Me n my friends are obsessed with you. Your FT art captures us like nothing else we love your redesigns they all look so great!! So glad we're on the same page for black Mirajane and Lisanna.

Anyways, which character do you think has the worst (or at least strangest) design choices in the show?

this ask is so old im so sorry

Anyway, thank you so much!! im so glad people like my extremely self indulgent designs!

As for worst design there are... a lot of bad ones, but since ive been struggling to redesign him im gonna talk about bickslow.

ok so im gonna preface with i am NOT a professional character designer or anything, my designs arent perfect and are extremely tailored to my tastes specifically so if you hate my redesigns and prefer the og thats super chill idc.

That being said what the fuck is this.

So ok just... his magic has to do with the tiki heads right? with strong connections to the idea of voodoo and black magic, like brujaria and shit.

So please can someone tell me why his outfit theme is a knight????

like ok i GUESS you could say it has to do with him being part of the thunder legion like, in a protective role?? but then??? freed and ever dont have that themeing???

like ive been struggling so hard to redesign him because his themes just make no sense to me? not to mention the outfit is just?? Ugly???

Between the horrible stripes and the bright ass purple green combo i just?? what is he doing?? who dressed you??? like then if his power is tiki heads y r there giant skulls on his shoulder pads???

I've been messing with the idea of his rewrite being that he actually wants to be a knight one day for some reason and instead of tiki heads his babies are like, little wooden skulls? Just so i can go hard with the skull themeing in his design to give it some cohesion?

idk im spit balling i just really hate his look.

im not even going to talk about his hair because its jsut.... no.

This time it's a Tumblr post that's got me talking but here's the thing

Shibano writes Mashima's characters better than Mashima himself.

In the twin dragons of Sabertooth he actually managed to give more personality to Yukino, Orga and Rufus.

Yukino has a more feisty side to her and is shown as very capable and although both Orga and Rufus are only there for a couple of scenes with the one most of note being their interaction with Rogue, we still get to see Orga showing that he is actually quite smart where he identified that the spots on Frosch's suit were different than usual when Rufus -the guy who prides himself on remembering everything- didn't (this scene is the main reason I see them as being best friends if not a couple outside of them always being put together in any shots they both are in including that one cover. Orga taking note of small details absolutely came from Rufus' influence and I love that)

Sting and Rogue also get really developed personalities as well because they don't get much of that in the main story really. Like Rogue getting mad at Sting for hurting Frosch's feelings and disbanding the team over it is just so petty to me. It adds on to the pettiness that the first thing Rogue does when they team up again and Sting is in direct danger is Rogue just slapping him and then just going "yes I feel much better now" which was probably one of the best things I could have ever seen.

The Rhodonite manga is great too because not only does Levy get her time to shine of actually showing why she was nominated S-class but we get the Juvia I actually like in this one. Yeah she still has her quips about Gray as jokes but it isn't her whole thing. And she's actually got other reasons for being there besides tailing Gray which is great. Plus we get Gajeel backstory and more asshole Gajeel which was fun to read. Then in the second half we get to see his interactions with Cobra and how he begrudgingly teams up with him to save the kids (delving into Gajeel's love of children because it isn't touched on much except a couple lines in the series and one or two in a character moment in the game)

Then the Lightning god one which I already adore for the additional Freed content (and Ponytailed Freed had me desperate to draw it) but also the way it handles Laxus and Freed's relationship is chef's kiss.

Half the time Freed's attachment to Laxus is made into a joke (which is probably why some compare him to Juvia in that regard although thankfully Freed hasn't been character assassinated yet) but here it's tackled with a serious tone. The first half is mostly a rescue mission and the thunder legion aren't too important in it since it's mostly Laxus although Freed does try to encourage Laxus to understand Blue Pegasus.

The second half is the real heavy hitters. The villain of that half tricks the Thunder legion into thinking she's Laxus and gaslights them by telling them that they call themselves his body guards and yet they stand behind Laxus, letting him take the damage. To which Laxus reminds them why that happens (also small backstory to how they formed a team with Laxus and I'm a sucker for a good bit of backstory. Plus I love looking at teen Laxus because he's so scrawny compared to what he is in present canon and it's funny to me to see that the second muscliest guy in the guild was a scrawny teen. Even Elfman was decently bulky meanwhile Laxus was lanky and I love it)

It's the best iterations of a lot of these characters outside or their original arcs where the got introduced and grew. I desperately wish the main story (I guess 100 yrs quest) was written with this same level of care and detail.

Hell, the author actually apologises in a note for a mistake he made in one of the chapters in the Rhodonite manga (if I remember right, he got the amount of years that Gajeel had been away from Denish wrong and saying a year that wouldn't have worked as Gajeel would still have been with Metalicana.) And I love his little sketch at the end of the Rhodonite manga.

Hello. I hope you're doing well in life🌹 If possible, I would like to request a Sanguinius with an eternal reader who has a vibe of Ciaphas Cain. Let's say the reader was with the Emperor and Malcador from the very beginning. But the reader is so fickle and enthusiastic that he appeared in the Imperium, did important things and then abruptly disappeared for several more centuries. And then he appears again and sees the primarchs. In general, the plot is completely at your disposal. Do not limit yourself in anything) And can his warriors be called Saracens? It's such a powerful word that I can't. It's perfect for a Warhammer

Aww, thank you. I'm fine.

Sanguinius x Perpetual! Reader

- When you know about Jimmy Space Emperor of Mankind's plan to create 20 18 creatures carrying his own genes, you're not too surprised. After all, he would do anything for his race, Mankind. But seeing what happened to the Thunder Warriors, well, you're not sure if you should feel sorry for these creatures… You agree with the Emperor's ideals, but not his methods. However, you and him still have a strange friendship. Actually, you don't think it's a friendship, you prefer to think of it as an ally. One that still exists as a result of a mutual understanding, one that is ultimately beneficial but not necessarily friendly.

- The first time you meet the primarchs, it's been a long time since the Himalayan lab was destroyed by the Ruinous Powers. And you haven't seen the Emperor and Malcador for a long time. Like father like son, a bunch of assholes. However, there are some guys, you have to look closely to realize he is an asshole. Among them can be mentioned names like Rogal Dorn, Roboute Guilliman, Sanguinius…. Especially Sanguinius. When you see those wings, that mutation, it reminds you of images in the ancient texts of Terra, an expression of holiness, of purity, angel of a god. But the Emperor is not god, and the Emperor's children can never be holy. You mean he may be his angel but holy? Never. And moreover, those wings are a byproduct of Warp. But you can't help but feel interested when you see that man.

- Meanwhile, Sanguinius watches this incredibly mysterious man, observing you closely for reasons he might not even fully explain himself. It might feel like a sort of… curiosity, maybe? Maybe he was just surprised to see that there was one other person besides Malcador who could be allowed to stand next to the Master of Mankind?

- And your mystery fuels Sanguinius' curiosity by haunting his visions of the future. You appear in his visions, not much but enough to make him wonder, worry, even….. obsession? Like a shadow or a fog, something that he can't quite make out just yet. And that gives him an obsession, a sort of burning desire to learn more about the person he can't quite make out. He still doesn't know who you are or what you represent, always at a distance, never quite in-sight…. But there are times in those visions when he sees your smile when you look at him, your tender touches to him, even your words even though he only sees you move your lips. A strange feeling begins to appear in him…

- For Sanguinius, his whole life is dedicated to the Emperor and his Legion, that's who he is, who he's designed to be. But there's you, and you're completely and utterly outwitting the Emperor's carefully-orchestrated designs. And he experienced fear for the first time… or even a greater feeling than that. Love, possibly?

- He falls in love with you through his vision of the future.

- But Sanguinius was incredibly unsure, wondering why he liked someone he can't even identify or properly see. He has to struggle between the idea that what he feels is real or just an extension of his visions of the future. Maybe the next meeting can explain this?

- And Sanguinius's next meeting with you is on the battlefield, when he sees you and your Saracens fighting. And he was stunning by the sight, your warriors dancing the death dance over the bloody feast, and the center of that feast was you, the embodiment of death. But every party must come to an end, after cleaning up the remnants of the xenos, you and the Saracens disappeared without a trace. And now he understands why you can stand next to his father.

- Sanguinius tried to separate his feelings from what his visions have shown him. It's like there's so much room for angst and uncertainty, too. Especially after that second meeting, he thinks that his visions and his emotions are completely separate, but they might have started blending together. The yearning grew in him, but he ignored it. Maybe he's just curious about you, maybe he just wants to see you, maybe….

- You are surprised that Sanguinius was able to find you, and even more surprised when he confessed his feelings to you. In response to those words, of course you choose to refuse. Honestly, his boldness makes you hesitate for a moment. But you've only met Sanguinius a few times, he is still just a boy. You're a being that has existed for countless years, and he has only been alive for a fraction of that time. Also, he is a Primarch, son of Jimmy Emperor, you don't want your old friend to look at you with his judgmental eyes.

- Sanguinius seemed to anticipate the rejection and happily accepted it. But maybe if he can't be your lover, he still hopes to be friends with you. Even if you rejected him, he's still going to love you in a respectful, discreet way. He loves you in the background, out of your sight. He loves from a distance, but with a care and a devotion that only grows with time.

- He always praises you for your talents and feats in the past. At times like that, you just laugh it off. Actually, you're not good at anything, there's nothing to be praised for, you're just lucky. You are always afraid of death, no, you are perpetual, how can you die? You fear things worse than death, and that's why you rarely appear in public. This is a secret that only you and perhaps the Emperor and Malcador know. The secret that you are a coward.

- Over time, you develop a certain feeling for Sanguinius, but it's not love, certainly not. It's kind of more than friendship and less than love. Sanguinius knows that, that feeling you can't see in yourself is something he's always watching for it to shine through the shadows. You didn't say it clearly but you allowed Sanguinius to cross some boundaries. Sometimes, you and him give each other a fleeting kiss, but that's all. You know you couldn't give him more. Love? That thing hasn't been in your life for a very long time. You and him are people who live in darkness, chasing light is instinct. The difference is Sanguinius can be desperate for chasing the light, and he knows very well that light can be grasped only by reaching out. And you have long since given up your desire for light, you only need the light to hang there and be satisfied with that.

- As for Sanguinius…. Well, he was both satisfied and dissatisfied with this. Part of him knows this relationship is just that. The other part, it's still not enough, he's still yearning because of the overwhelming desire. He hesitates to take it a step further, but is also pleased with everything you've given him. His hesitation was short-lived, though, when visions of the future that foreshadow the reality that constantly brings Sanguinius nightmares. He saw his brothers betray, his sons die, the Imperium they built from so much blood and tears fell,…. He desperately wants to preserve what he has, but he can't shake the fear of what could come.

- For somehow, you know it, but you can't tell. You know his condition, but you can't do anything. You know the future he's worried about, you worry about it too but the Emperor has his own plans for humanity, and there's little you can do. All you can do is just follow the predetermined future, do what you can for humanity, for the Emperor… As you always have. You know the outcome of the war, for you know many things, but you don't speak it. There is little more to be said.

It's so sad that climaxes come to an end, why so tired?

Before the Angel's last flight, he confesses his feelings to you again, this time you respond with a nod.

"Actually I'm enjoy with what you can gave me, but… Well, whatever…" He tells you with a sad smile.

You give him a kiss. "We can do it."

Honestly, you know what the outcome will be. It's just a part of you that still hopes the future can change, the results can change.
