ghost having absolutely no self esteem until he joins the military and pinning his self-worth on his performance in the field, seeing his only value as a weapon which only gets worse when he’s legally dead and all but owned by the military makes me want to eat glass

I haven't seen this particular gem of a post but there is apparently one going around stating that everyone in the ACOTAR world has suffered more than Lucien, that he doesn't know suffering.
Just a little starter here. The first book began with Lucien's friend being murdered because they needed to sacrifice him in order to break the curse on Spring.
"Autumn Court is ...cutthroat. Beautiful, but his brothers see each other only as competition, since the strongest of them will inherit the title."
"Lucien fell in love with a faerie whom his father considered to be grossly inappropriate for someone of his bloodline." "His father had her put down. Executed, in front of Lucien, as his two eldest brothers held him and made him watch."
"Without his title protecting him, his brothers thought to eliminate one more contender to the High Lord's crown. Three of them went out to kill him."
"But he has never forgotten what they did to her, or what his brothers tried to do to him. Even if he pretends that he has."
"She took his eye as punishment. Carved it out with her own fingernail, then scarred his face. She sent him back so bloody that Tamlin...The High Lord vomited when he saw his friend."
Lucien's brothers lurked on the edges of the crowd - no remorse, no fear on their handsome faces. Amarantha sighed. "I thought you would have learned your lesson, Lucien. Though this time your silence will damn you as much as your tongue." Lucien kept his eyes shut. Ready - he was ready for Rhysand to wipe out everything he was, to turn his mind, his self into dust.
"but only after she made Tamlin bestow Lucien's punishment. Twenty lashes." (remember, because he tried to help Feyre in her trial? Also she prevented Lucien from being able to heal).
"Lucien lay chained to the center of the floor on the other side of the chamber, his remaining russet eye so wide that it was surrounded with white. / Again he was to be Amarantha's toy to torment."
"Don't give me that look, Lucien." SIlence again. Then a vicious snarl, and a shudder of magic rocked the house. Tamlin's voice had been low, deadly. Do not push me on this. I didn't want to know what was happening in that room, what he'd done to Lucien.
Thoughts slammed into me, images and memories, a pattern of thinking and feeling that was old, and clever and sad, endlessly sad and guilt-ridden, hopeless -
"She - she didn't act that way at..." Lucien. Lucien had hated her. Had made vague, vicious allusions to not liking her, to being approached by her. I was going to throw up. Had she...had she pursued him like that? Had he...had he been forced to say yes because of her position?
He might have completed the Great Rite with Ianthe of his own free will, but he certainly hadn't enjoyed it. Some line had been blurred - badly.
I waited the five minutes it took Tamlin to decide not to kill Lucien, and then smiled. I wondered if Lucien had pieced it together. That I had known Tamlin would come to my room tonight, after I had given him so many shy touches and glances today.
"Back off". "Do not touch me," he growled." Where Lucien stood, back against a tree - twin bands of blue stone shackled around his wrists. / And in this case...holding Lucien against that tree as Ianthe surveyed him like a snake before a meal. She slid a hand over the broad panes of his chest, his stomach. And Lucien's eyes shot to me as I stepped between the trees, fear and humiliation reddening his golden skin.
As the youngest of seven sons, I wasn't particularly needed or wanted."
"Did you think it was mere hatred that prompted my brothers to do their best to break and kill me?"
The circle of people who now claimed to be Feyre's new family...It was what, long ago, he'd once thought life at Tamlin's court would be. An ache like a blow to the chest went through him.
"I am Lucien. Seventh son of the High Lord of the Autumn Court. And a whole lot of nothing.
"I do not belong in the Autumn Court. And I'm willing to be I'm no longer welcome at h- the Spring Court." Home, he had almost said.
"The same things he does now." Helion waved a hand. "Belittle her, leave bruises where no one but him will see them." (So to recap, Beron physically and verbally abuses his WIFE, killed Lucien's love and people think he had an easy childhood with this man?)
It would explain why his father and brothers detest him so much - why they have tormented him his entire life.
I hadn't asked Lucien any questions about that visit - to Tamlin. Lucien hadn't explained the black eye and cut lip, either.
"I don't have anywhere else to go." "You ruined any chances I have of going back to Spring. Not to Tamlin, but to the court beyond his house. Everyone either still believes the lies you spun or they believe me complicit in your deceit" - Side note but even knowing this, about how the people feel about him because of Feyre's schemes, Lucien still allowed the NC to permanently station him there in SF. It's really cute of E/riels to think Az is having such a rough go of it, living in the Night Court with the brothers who love him, while Lucien just has it so easy, right?
The male had grown up alongside Eris. Had dealt with Eris's and Beron's cruelty. Had his lover slaughtered by his own father.
This paragraph is about Eris: Beron had tortured his own son for information, rather than thanking the Mother for returning him. / The male had been raised with every luxury and privilege - on paper. But who knew what terrors Beron had inflicted upon him?
So with that said, If that's how Beron treated his own son how do you think he treated the son he suspected belonged to another man?
Cassian knew Beron had murdered Lucien's lover. If the High Lord of Autumn had been willing to do that, what wouldn't he do?
So by all means, I'd love to know how a character who we have canon evidence of suffering from his younger years all the way through the present has it so much easier than everyone else?
Someone's selective reading is showing!!

what do you of "the man who sold the world" for fallenleaf? friend is getting me into nirvana and i cant do anything without thinking of the Beasts
Hmm... honestly? I think it fits other characters much better!
Man Who Sold The World always reads to me as like... a dangerous character, could be a demon, could be an evil parent, could be a more literal villain in some kind of story, who has unambiguously gotten its ass kicked and banished. In its defeat, it realizes that it can turn it around; by trying to convince one of their Victims to join them.
And succeeding.
(and it's why Nirvana's version is my favorite, Cobain's voice is just the right amount of hoarse that makes me feel like the Victim Character has lost a lot of sleep over it. Vulnerable and open to the offer of the Villain, possibly on the brink of desperation in their own life. It has that sort of angsty-young-adult madness that makes choosing bad decisions sooo much easier. Bowie's and Ure's versions are also fantastic, but imo they're a lot more dreamlike, like the victim is being more entranced than convinced!)
The song isn't about breaking out of that cycle. It's about "laughing and shaking his hand," returning home almost unaware of any change. But over many years, in tiny little ways that add up into even bigger ones, slowly the Victim becomes another man who sold the world.
They doesn't even realize when they died alone along their quest, just that it must have been long, long ago.
Some of that fits Fallenleaf, but it's not quite the same vibe. She killed Ashfur in revenge. She sought out Sol and took his deal for power, and tried to kill her own brother. She subjugated an entire Ancient Lake society-- and the only thing she can really blame Sol for is how it got bored of her and kicked her out of her own body.
Those were things she did. And they're things she lives with. Trickery was less a part of it than she might have wanted to believe at some point in her long, guilty life.
NATURALLY I'm inspired by Cheecat's really great animation they made with Brambleclaw and Tigerstar, and I think it fits Tigerstar to a T, but who I always think of is Hawkfrost.
Especially in BB, where RiverClan raised him to lean into his legacy. Not Clanborn, from a young age he had to work twice as hard, prove that he and his sister were "worth" keeping around, told that they were only protected by that diluted Tigerkin blood that trickles through their veins and that Tigerstar was an ideal to live up to...
Only the thinnest veneers of, "Be what he was, without his flaws" to hold him back from fully adopting everything his father ever stood for. A father he never met, who hurt his mother, who killed and traumatized countless clanmates.
And then Hawkfrost sees him. The song kicks in. "I thought you died alone, a long long time ago."
"Not me. I never lost control." It means that those "flaws," they weren't so bad. "You're face to face with the man who sold the world" and I can teach you the value of that.
He leaves that exchange feeling warm. "I laughed and shook his hand." He goes through the destruction of the forest (looking for form), the great journey (and land), and eventually finds himself in all the conflicts of TNP. No one knows at what point he stopped being the noble young warrior who stood up for Reedpaw against his tormenters, or when wanting to protect his sister became abuse and belittling.
But at some point, he died alone, long before his heart stopped beating on that stake.
He ends up in the Dark Forest with his father, preparing for the change that's coming in OotS, but not by the end of the song. At the end of the song his father has successfully dragged him down to his level, singing the same tune, trying to pretend that his dad getting him pointlessly shish-kebabed for a petty personal dispute wasn't a critical L to the chest.

Annabeth stans - Do Not Interact. This post is not for you. Keep Scrolling.
The Annabeth apologism is real guys. People really be like "Annabeth has the most tragic backstory in PJO!" And forget about nearly every single other character in PJO and HoO
I'm sorry did you forget about:
Tyson: homeless at 7-8 years old, and bullied/terrorized by everyone in his life aside from Percy and Sally
Hazel: literally died to right her mother's wrongs at 13 years old. Not to mention how her mother treated her, and her curse. There's more but I forget it.
Nico: lost his sister at either 10 or 11(?), was stuck in the lotus casino for decades, was homeless and manipulated by a ghost for months, abandoned by his father - only for his father to start acknowledging him by manipulating him to give up the 1 person who cared about Nico to him on a silver platter
Luke: his mother was cursed and used to terrify him with her oracle episodes. he ran away young and was living homeless or in shelters for years.
Thalia: lost her little brother pretty young, also lost her mother to drunk driving, was living homeless or in shelters for years, died to protect a 6 year old and 14 year old at 12 years old, was resurrected at 16 years old within months had a great prophecy almost forced on her
Percy: lived with a man that threatened to "knock his lights out," (aka. severe physical abuse), humiliated him bc of his learning disabilities, the same guy also abused his mom physically emotionally and financially to the point where she thought her only option was to kill him
Jason: was given to a goddess at like 3 years old, was forced to live with terrifying wolves at 3 years old (he thought they would kill them) and then was forced to become a child soldier after that (starting at age 3-5 years old) and never got to live his own life before he was killed at 15-16 years old. Not to mention his mother is dead, and his sister a stranger.
I don't remember Leo's story, but didn't his powers accidentally overwhelm him and kill his entire foster family? Didn't Gaea torment him for years?
Like. Annabeth eavesdropped (aka listen to a convo she has no context on) a convo where her dad was struggling to tell his wife how he had Annabeth (how tf is he suppose to explain her showing up in a golden cradle after not having sex with Annabeth's mother without sounding insane), was bitten by regular spiders for 3ish days and then chose to ran away before her dad got home - her dad who'd actually know the problem and what to do, spent a few days away from home by choice, 2 weeks or so on the run with two powerful demigods protecting her, and then she got to camp where Chiron could parent her. Everytime she wrote to Frederick he replied immediately telling her that he loved her, he was sorry for failing her and he welcomed her back home. And when she couldn't keep up with the monsters? He built a machine gun with celestial bronze bullets and loaded it onto a helicopter to protect her.
And somehow Annabeth has the worst backstory. She actually has a home to return to. A mortal parent, who isn't the best but still tries and tells her he loves her. Half the other demigods/beings on this list don't even have that.
Also, this is a rant about Annabeth stans, not a debate, not Annabeth Chase hate. It's a commentary about how annoying her fans are. If you respond with anger and insults you will be blocked immediately.

Indra with prompt 7 where reader and him have just gotten married?? Btw, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR WORK AND YOUR WRITING IS SO GOOD!! ALSO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING FOR INDRA HE’S MY FAV ❤️❤️❤️
7) Them exploring each others' bodies, but not in a sexual way.
AAAAAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LIKING MY STUFF!! I FEEL YOU SO BAD WITH THE INDRA SITUATION
He is also my favorite, and it destroys me how he has so little recognition and content to his name. People need to appreciate the hell out of this man HE'S THE CREATOR OF ALL THE CHARACTERS WE LOVE OMG
Tumblr media
(Y/N) never heard him speak, at least not directly to her. From the moment Indra chose her as his future wife, she has only heard his voice from afar, addressing her parents or people in her village. He never paused to even greet her, introduce himself, or explain.
Indra came to her small village looking to hire manpower for construction in his territory, having heard rumors (Y/N)'s family was the best in the area when it came to edification. The Otsutsuki had recently become famous after destroying his brother and winning an ancestral war, crowning himself as a man to be feared and respected.
No one wanted to be in the spotlight of his attention, and people preferred to give him whatever he wanted to avoid perishing in the attempt. The man arrived at their home with blueprints to execute his new settlement, having changed his last name so as not to be associated with his father's or younger brother's image.
It didn't take long before he crossed paths with (Y/N) by pure chance, while he was finalizing details with her father on how they would carry out the constructions and with what materials. They were sitting at the main table one night, as she entered her house to go to bed. The girl observed how her father was tense and alert in front of the presence of such a person, and when they exchanged glances, tried to warn her wordlessly to hide.
The Otsutsuki fixed his eyes on her, and that was the moment he decided to take her as his wife. For the remaining days, he continued to make arrangements with her family, and no one could stop him from taking her with him when everything was planned. Saying no to Indra was inevitable doom, and (Y/N) understood she had to obey his orders if she wanted to protect her people.
He took her along with a convoy of villagers from her hometown, who went to the new and recently founded Uchiha territory to lend a hand. The work lasted months, of complicated execution and with no room for mistakes under the frightening gaze of the most villainous man in the world, but it was accomplished.
When everything was finished, her family had to leave, and (Y/N) could not join them.
There was no formal wedding, with the Otsutsuki reluctant to follow such protocols, and simply proclaimed her as his wife in front of the entire Uchiha clan. People knew not to mess with her and respected her as Indra's legitimate wife, but that was all.
Life continued to go on as usual, and the woman had to adapt to her new destiny. Her so-called husband dedicated himself to ignoring her, pretending her existence was unimportant and attending to a million other matters before even looking at her.
(Y/N) did not let his attitude discourage her, and she thrived despite his indifference. She found friends and supporters, and learned about Indra from them. At the moment, the Uchiha clan consisted of all those who supported him on the battlefield and chose him as their leader. Everyone spoke with respect and admiration about the Otsutsuki, and the girl came to know his life story from the accounts of others.
Indra was a tormented and haunted man, someone hurting, and perhaps he just needed space before he could approach her in a concrete way.
She waited, and found a way of life that made her happy in spite of everything. Her husband never limited her or gave her any orders, letting her be free and able to build her day-to-day life as she wished. If she wanted to devote herself to learning ninjutsu, she could. If she preferred to dedicate her time to more mundane tasks or do nothing at all, that was fine too.
It took a couple of months of cohabitation before the man finally got a good look at her, and it happened on a night of a full moon and pouring rain. Usually, the Otsutsuki disappears with the fall of the sun, and (Y/N) presumes it's for training, but with the weather as such, there's no way. The ground turned to mud and there is no visibility because of the rain, the water bringing icy winds in tandem.
Taking no qualms about his presence, the girl continued with her evening routine as if the man was not there, playing the same game of indifference. She finished with all the actions required to get into bed, coolness not helping to keep her away from the sheets.
What she didn't expect was to feel the mattress sink a few seconds after she laid down, Indra settling down next to her for the first time in months. Not speaking to her also came with not sharing a bed, and (Y/N) always wondered where the Otsutsuki slept.
Her heart races and she suddenly becomes nervous, never having had to face this situation in all the time they've been together. She fixes her gaze on him, determined not to be intimidated by the man with whom she is supposed to share her life, and for the first time, she gets a closer look.
He is devilishly handsome, with defined and dreamy features, a sharp jaw, and elongated fox-like eyes. He wears his hair tied in a bun, with a few pieces raining raggedly down his face. Indra is a dream, and (Y/N) gets even more nervous.
"You're agitated...would you rather I spend the night somewhere else...?" According to people's accounts, Indra seems to spit fire when he speaks, but the way he phrased the question carries a hint of teasing and sarcasm.
"No... I do believe it's about time." She decides not to flinch in front of him, and face him with the same level of intonation. They both glare at each other, a duel of stares (Y/N) is not willing to lose.
The girl analyzes the man, sitting on the bed against the headboard and imitating his posture. Indra is not wearing a T-shirt, only some baggy pants. There is a huge scar on his chest, dangerously close to his heart, and looking fresh. Fearlessly, (Y/N) runs her fingertips over it.
It has a terribly smooth texture and decorates his body as if it was meant to fit in that particular spot. "Where did this come from?" she asks without looking him in the eye, sight fixed where her fingers still touch his skin.
"Family squabbles, if you might call it somehow." She can hear a smirk in his words, as the Otsutsuki puts his hand against her cheek, touching a mark (Y/N) has carried since being little girl.
"What about this?"
"Learning to chop wood with my father, if you might call it somehow." She dares to connect with his eyes again and sees him smiling genuinely. The stories and narrative construction people provided about Indra portrayed him as a cold and heartless being, a tyrant with so many murders on top of him as to be uncountable, an evil and sinister man.
Perhaps they were all wrong, and no one really knew him.
Feeling reaffirmed by him, she takes his arm and looks at the skin closely. Another huge scar looking much older decorates the surface. "First time I made use of one of my techniques to defend... someone." There is a hint of nostalgia in his words, and (Y/N) assumes he is referring to a too-distant past.
A huge hand closes over the curve of her waist and draws her close until they are mouth-to-mouth. Surprised by his boldness, she allows herself to indulge in the sweet, first kiss she shares with her husband, feeling his fingers roam her figure over her clothes.
"I wondered what it would feel like to touch you once and for all."

Daemon and Baratheon Reader was chef kiss
How does she react when Daemon tries to be a good husband aftes more than a decade of neglet?
for once she has a form of power, Daemon needs her reacting to be a good husband,how do children react to this person they call father trying to be a good parent?
Would they probably have to go to court? Would Daemon walk up to the Reader and say for God's sake pretend I'm a good husband, or do they stay at Dragonstone,does he genuinely try to be better or does he try to outsmart his brother?
I don't think Viserys has to remarry, Daemon has seven children,so what happens to Alicent?
HOHOHO
You requested and i shall give. So before i begin, i must explain some details
Considering that yes, Daemon has 7 kids (3 boys and 4 girls) most likely that Viserys won't need to marry, he could instead (if Daemon were taken away from the line of heritage) make Baelon heir or marry him to Rhaenyra.
Daemon is trying to outsmart his brother, he doesn't care for wife and kids...at first
Also, here is the list of the kids before we actually begin:
Baelon (9-10 years old): Eldest and responsible son, wants to protect his family from his excuse of a father, rider of the Cannibal(Now named Viserion)
Aegon (8 years old): Second son and devoted sibling, follows up to his older brother since he has no father for that and he's also his brother's helper. Rider of the sheepstealer (he kept the name)
Aerea (7-8 years old): First daughter and most wise, is a bookworm who loves history and arts, also helps her mother and brother in taking care of her younger siblings. Soon to be rider of Grey Ghost
Elaena (5 years old): The second daughter and the scared little girl of the family, is shy and doesn't know how to respond to people scolding her. She follows up to her older siblings a lot. She has a young dragon called Starfyre, they are really close.
Aerion (3-4 years old): Third and last son, is the trouble child who throws tantrums whenever something doesn't go his way. He has a young dragon called Brightflame
Daena (2 years old): Third daughter, the giggly girl, curious and causes scandals thanks to it, like once when she ended up in the top of the castle and made Baelon pick her up with Viserion, no one know how she got there. Her dragon egg hatched but no name was decided
Rhaenys (2 weeks old): Fourth daughter, a quiet thing...sometimes. Her egg has not hatched yet.
->
"BAELON!"
"Oh so you do remember my name!"
The boy ran really fast after taunting the man he should call his "father", he knew it wasn't the brightest idea, but he also knew that he wouldn't get another chance to do this.
So to escape the man, he ran to his mother.
"See? It's not hurt dearest- Baelon?" - The Lady looked at her eldest confused while carrying for her second born, Aegon.
The boy immediately hid behind his mother and dragged his brother closer, Lady Baratheon although confused, found that a bit amusing.
But her smile didn't last long, in the moment her husband stepped inside the room.
"...What are you doing here?" - She questioned the Prince in her most serious tone.
"The King sended him away" - Baelon answered - "He threatened him and now the Prince wants to play 'Happy Family'"
"Boys, go find your siblings, it's almost late and you haven't ate" - Their mother ordered them, both the boys leave the room immediately.
The couple didn't look at each other, Lady Baratheon turn away to care for her little one.
"There's no need for you to stay here" - She told him - "I can write to Viserys as if you were doing your role as husband and father."
"Viserys is a fool, but not to this point, he will figure out sooner than later" - Daemon protested - "So you plan to torment me for a while until your brother is convinced?"
"You are going to trick our children to believe that they have a father after years?" - She questioned, obviously irritated with all of this - "And for what? What did he threatened you with that would make you come back- Ah..."
Lady Baratheon is no fool to Daemon's intentions and desires, she knows the only thing he keeps fighting for other than himself, was the bloody Iron Throne.
"All because of the throne...of course" - She put her daughter to sleep in her crib, and looks at her husband one more time - "I guess you lost then, because no one here is gonna help you."
"Our children don't know you, they call you "father" because they follow up to Baelon, a 9 year old boy who had done a way better job than you." - She reminded him - "And i have no feelings for you and i won't pretend that i have, so you might as well leave with your whore, for i have no intentions on helping you."
Daemon was impulsive, he immediately tried to grab his wife by the throat, but she was quicker and dogde the attack.
"Just leave at once or don't bother my family, make your choice then." - She says before leaving the room.
Daemon now looked around the room, and looked at the crib with the small child sleeping quietly.
No, he didn't wanted this life, but he couldn't escape from it, especially now.
Baelon, on other hand, was now sitting on the dining table with his 6 siblings now eating...or so he wished.
"I don't want this!!" - Exclaimed by Aerion, his younger brother who always throws a tantrum for anything he doesn't like. This time he keeps punching the table.
"Aerion, stop it! I trying to feed Daena! Baelon, do something!!" - Aerea demanded, as she was taking care of her little sister Daena.
Seeing the chaos entering the room, Baelon had one thing he could do to stop it.
"I WANT DESSERT! I WANT DESSERT" - Aerion yelling while making Elaena cover her years in frustration. Baelon got up from his seat and got next to his little brother.
"...Or you eat your food right now...or i will give Brightflame as food for Viserion" - He said with a low and serious tone - "Do you doubt me?"
"No..." - Aerion said with his arms crossed, knowing he was defeated, since Baelon knows how he loves his dragon.
Baelon sat back in his seat while dinner went smoothly.
"You weren't really going to give Brightflame to Viserion, right?..." - Elaena asked quietly to her brother - "Nah, but Aerion doesn't need to know that." - the little shit answered with a smirk on his face.
"Is mother coming soon? We almost done" - Aerea questioned - "Yeah! I want momma! Baelon is mean!" - Aerion exclaimed
"Mother is busy" - Baelon explained - "With father..." - Aegon said sadly
"FATHER?!" - All of the others yelled, while Daena giggled.
"Keep quiet! He can hear us!" - Baelon scolded them - "Thanks Aegon, no one needed to know that."
"Father is gonna stay here anyway..." - Aegon said - "No he won't, there's no reason for him to be here, he most likely will leave tomorrow or the morning after." - Baelon protested - "So we all must just ignore his presence."
"I'm gonna stab him" - Aerion threatened
"No Aerion!" - Everyone demanded
Later, Baelon was preparing himself to take a small ride on Viserion, so he walked down the halls with his siblings (Who wanted to see) and Sir Edrik.
All of them just failed to do one thing, spot their father not too far from them.

As stated in my last post, I've been having sibling thoughts about Dagur, Heather, and Hiccup. My last post was about cannon. This one is about an au where everything is the same, but Hiccup grew up on Berserker Island as Dagur's baby brother (this is purely self-indulgent so please don't come at me).
The events of the first movie are largely the same (Dagur doesnt get a dragin because he wants a rare and ferocious one like his brother), with a few exceptions.
Instead of being bullied by his Berserker peers, Hiccup is largely ignored (this is due less to the fact that he's the chief's son, and more because Dagur is over protective of his little brother).
Hiccup is, however, bullied by the kids of Berk when his family goes to sign the treaty. Dagur is the heir, so he learns how to be diplomatic. During these times is when the others (mostly Snotlout and maybe the twins) strike.
If Dagur isn't with their Dad, the twins try to find a way to separate them so they can torment Hiccup.
After the first movie, their Dad goes missing and Dagur takes the title of chief. He tells people he killed his father, and begs Hoccup not to say anything. Hiccup agrees, but watches as chiefdom makes his brother,well, more deranged. He tries to stay and help his brother, but he also has things to do for dragons.
Hiccup goes to Berk (being their main allies, although shakey) and helps them learn to live at peace with the dragons as well. Stoick gives him the academy and Hiccup goes back and forth from Berk and Berserker Island.
When he's home, he spends as much time with his brother as he can. But his brother's deteriorating mental state is taking a toll on him as well.
When Dagur is locked up, Hiccup stays on Berk.
The events of rtte happen much the same as they do in cannon, with the addition of angst because Dagur was at one time Hiccup's hero. Now he's fighting against him.
When he finds out who Heather is, the reunion happens with a little more emotion.
Heather thought Hiccup was Stoick's son, so that also adds a layer.
"Stoick the Vast gave this horn to Oswald the agreeable when his newborn daughter was born. Heather, you were that daughter. Heather, you're our sister."
"W-what do you mean our?"
"Oh? Did you neglect to tell her that, brother?"
"...I'm not Stoick's son. Im Dagur's little brother. I was born after you were lost."
Dagur wants her to choose a brother.
For plot reasons (mainly to take down whatever operation Dagur is running with the Hunters), Heather joins Dagur. This hurts Hiccup, but he pushes it to the wayside (typical hiccup).
Pretty much the events of rtte happen the exact same way but with added layers.
Heather still joins the riders, but Hiccup has to spend a little more time earning her trust since he never told her he was related to Dagur.
The whole "Heather spends most of Dagur's redemption arch wanting to kill Dagur" still happens because I love Hiccup holding her back from committing murder.
Also, with Hiccup being the youngest in the family, he's free to pursue his intrest in dragons! He doesn't have the weight of chiefdom hanging over his head!
I'm not going to go through the whole show because that's 6 seasons of dagur-hiccup-heather content I have to sift through and I don't have the energy to do so. But you see where I'm coming from. I think it's a cute idea. I might do something with this later but for now I'm tired.

The war was finally over. Blood had run through the realm, that of both men and dragons before peace was finally over them. But the fight was not yet over for Lucerys Velaryon, now Targaryen. Eldest surviving child of The half year queen Rhaenyra Targaryen.  
He had survived the fall over ship breakers bay, taken as a prisoner of war by his uncle, Aemond. Lucerys had been kept locked away in Maegor’s holdfast, and he would not see the world outside until the end of the war. As an Omega he was to be kept away from lustful eyes, so as to not taint him, on the behest of the dowager queen Alicent.  
He was fortunate, or at times unfortunate for the servants still loyal to his mother who told him news of the war around him. Yet it was his uncle, the One-eye, who boasted about his stepfather’s death. Of his brother’s fall. Aegon, his eldest uncle,  had made him watch his mother be burned and swallowed by Sunfyre, as he held Aegon ||| before he was once again locked away.  
From a family of 7 there were now only 3. Corlys was still alive, but there was no denying his bastard blood no more, not with the weakness he held. They were no longer family. Now there was only Lucerys, little Aegon and little Viserys, who had been found a month after their mother’s death.
What no one had expected after the war, was the death of king Aegon, second of his name. Many speculated how his death came to be. Some believed it was from his wounds, too great to carry on, others believed it was poison. Luke didn’t care. His worst nightmare was still there. Still alive. And now King.  
Aemond had taken the throne after Aegon’s death. Luke knew the new king held no love in his heart, and he spent each day terrified of what he would do. Would he send his brothers away? Would he kill them? Would he kill Luke? Take his eye? Luke didn’t really care for his own well-being anymore. Too tired to fear for himself. But his brothers were only 5 and 6, still just babies in his eyes.  
But no. Aemond would not hurt his brothers, instead he would inflict the most horrid torment he could on Lucerys. He would marry him.  
Luke’s new prison was now his and his husband’s chamber. Had been since the wedding.  
The ceremony had been a small thing. Lucerys had been dressed in his mother’s old wedding gown, white and gold, a Velaryon cloak over his shoulders. At least his husband was not as cruel as to place a Targaryen or a Strong cloak on his shoulders. If Luke thought back, he could still feel the soft fabric and the sept’s words.  
“You may now cloak the bride and bring them under your protection" the sept voice echoed in the nearly empty hall. Luke’s Velaryon cloak was removed off of him by Corlys, the man taking the position of the father of the bride.  
Luke turned around to let Aemond place his own cloak. It was a Targaryen black, or so it seemed. On a closer look Luke could see it was the darkest of greens, the red 3 headed dragon stood to great contrast with it. It was heavy, as if the weight of the world was now placed upon Luke’s own shoulders.  
Lucerys turned back around, and for the first time that night, looked at Aemond’s face. The king wore the black crown of the conqueror and usurper. He had forgone his usual eyepatch, letting his sapphire be on full display in a menacing stare.  
Their hands were intertwined with a ribbon, forced to make contact as the sept continued the marriage ritual. "In the sight of the Seven, I hereby seal these two souls, binding them as one, for eternity." He then instructs them to, "Look upon one another and say the words."
Lucery’s voice is weak and quivers compared to Aemond’s strong booming voice as they echo each other.  
“Father, Smith, Warrior, Mother, Maiden, Crone, Stranger, I am his and he is mine from this day until the end of my days."
They are to seal their bond with a kiss, yet it is nothing more than a press of the corners of their mouths. But it must have been accepted as no one says anything.  
After the ritual there would usually be a feast or celebration, but they do nothing of the sort. The party is split up merely seconds after the dismissal. Luke stands still next to Aemond, he knows what comes next. They all do. He does not acknowledge Alicent’s worried gaze or Corlys’ hand on his shoulder as it squeezes in comfort.  
The whole walk to the queen and king’s chamber is a blur. If Aemond had said anything during their walk, he had not taken notice. He does not fully return to himself until the door locks. It’s as waking form a dream, and entering a nightmare. As if a dream within a dream. Never to wake up to the comfort of his mother, or the light teasing of his brother. He is alone. So utterly alone.  
He does not turn around as Aemond prowls towards him. Nor does he react as the Alpha slips the dress from his shoulders, kissing down his shoulder. He does not cry, does not dare shudder or pull away.  
He is slowly guided to their bed, placed beneath his new husband and king. He expected Aemond to be harsh and cruel, yet he is delicate in the way he removes the dress, leaving Lucerys bare for him.  
“I will not harm you.” Aemond whispers, as if sensing Luke’s barely hidden fear. “We are family now, our blood is one.” At those words, Lucerys finally let’s his tears fall.  
Aemond let’s him keep his dignity by not turning him around, letting him hide in the soft pillows. Aemond’s finger softly touches the folds of Luke’s cunts, softening the Omega to his touch. Luke feels the tension leave his body as it goes slow. The digit enters him slowly as Aemond’s other hand holds his lower body up.  
A sigh leaves his mouth at the feeling of Aemond’s finger within him, coaxing more slick to lubricate the alpha’s hand. A second finger soon joins in, the stretch bearable, at the brink of uncomfortable. Aemond scissors him open, a thumb rubbing at his clit, sending the occasional spark through Luke’s nerves. But what makes his entire body jolt is when Aemond’s fingers touch a spot hidden deep within him. The feeling forced a soft moan out of him, a sound he did not consent to making.  
Luke can feel the warm blush over his cheeks as shame takes over him. He expected Aemond to make some sort of remark, but the alpha keeps quiet, instead he just enters a 3rd finger. Lucerys fists the sheets beneath him at the feeling of the stretch and the pleasure from within.  
A knot is felt tight within his belly, as if a coil spun tight. Just as it is about to snap, Aemond retreats his fingers. A low whine leaves Luke at the loss but he is quickly shushed by soft kisses at his shoulder from the alpha. He feels Aemond position himself, the alpha’s cock hard yet softly pressing against his cunt.  
The drag of the cock is slow and at the border of painful as it enters, yet it stirs something within Luke. It goes on and on and on, filling Luke up to the brink of overfilling and once Aemond is fully settled he drapes himself over Luke, covering the small omega completely.  
Aemond’s hand finds Luke’s and slowly pries the fist away from the sheets before he interlocks their fingers. Aemond takes this moment to move with slow movements. He retreats until the cock is almost all the way out before he pushes in once more, phace quickening with each gasp Luke gives.  
Lucery’s gasps slowly turn into moans that are met with Aemond’s soft grunts in his ear. With just the slightest adjustment Aemond is able to hit the same spot his fingers had touched. The spark is even more intense now with the cock’s force, the pleasure blinding as Luke lifts his hips to meet Aemond’s forceful thrusts.  
Aemond’s movement quickens as the swell of the knot starts to form, Luke can feel how it stretches him even more with each pounding movement. The alpha does not relent, and Luke doesn’t want him to.  
The feeling in his core is back, the one that feels as if a string is being pulled tight, and this time, Aemond doesn’t let up. If anything, he gets even more intense. The thrust is even more powerful as they push Luke further and further. 
And just as the string snaps, so does the alpha’s knot lock them together. Luke’s moan is loud as he cums at the feeling of Aemond's seed filling inside him. The mating bite Aemond leaves on his shoulder makes him scream in ecstasy as his cunt pulses around the cock inside him, pumping the alpha for all he is worth. Aemond holds him through it, letting Luke convulse and shake through his orgasm as the bond settles within them both.
Aemond’s own emotions are on full display, they show a sense of contentment, satisfaction and desire. Luke feels himself tuning to his side, Aemond still inside him, and he will be for the next 30 minutes. Aemond spoons him from behind, hands rubbing at his stomach, as if feeling for a bulge, or perhaps the wish for a pup.  
The soft touches and warmth lull Luke to a soft sleep. It is dreamless and dark. No longer plagued by nightmares, at least for tonight.

Hello, I brought you a rottmnt AU fanfic, centered on Leo.
⚠️WARNINGS; BLOOD AND VIOLENCE⚠️
English is not my first language, sorry for the mistakes
😅
Synopsis;
"A dangerous yokai with a desire to torment them had cornered Michelangelo with no chance of escape. However, while everyone else was unsure of what to do, Leo acted swiftly; his ninpo activated, and the yokai threatening his brother's life was no longer breathing.
Leo had blood on his hands, while his brothers looked at him in horror. He did what he had to do... and he had no regrets.
Discussions followed thereafter.".
Chapter One
" Red-Stained Katanas"
"They didn't know how, but in an instant, the yokai that looked like a humanoid snake, and apparently had sworn to annoy them all week, had Michelangelo pinned against the wall, with a sword pressed against his throat close enough that the slightest movement would send a cascade of blood to the floor.
Everyone stopped moving, and the yokai's illusions had stopped attacking them. Tension seized the entire atmosphere.
"Let me go with the money, or you lose a brother," hissed the snake yokai. Mikey closed his eyes due to the saliva splattering from the reptile onto his face.
Indeed, this had happened at the bone pizzeria. The low-life criminal had decided to rob them just when they were eating pizza.
"DON't THINK THAT—" Rapha, with some anger, shouted. But before he could continue, the snake pressed the sword more against Mikey's neck. Before he could proceed, behind him, a sudden blue portal appeared, a red-eared turtle crossed through it, and with a flawless move, cut the snake in half as if they were sushi strips.
Mikey got splattered with blood and immediately pulled away from the lifeless hand that held him. The reptile's body split in two and fell to the ground. Leo, who had his blue ninpo activated, was covered in blood, and his katana had turned red.
A disgusting spectacle to witness. Mikey walked away and went straight to his remaining brothers, but still kept an eye on Leo with wide-open eyes. The yokai's illusions had disappeared at the precise moment the snake split in two diagonally.
Leo's pulse was racing, and he was breathing rapidly. Everything looked blurry, but within a few seconds, he had stabilized. He looked at his brothers, who looked terrified...
But why? Then he looked around, saw red blood everywhere, on his hands, his katana... and above all, he observed the snake yokai's body split in two on the floor, with mega-open eyes and the tongue out, all twisted.
Leo felt like vomiting, but when he approached his brothers, Raphael, his older brother, stood in front of Michelangelo and Donatello, protecting them.
Then he let out a hysterical and bewildering laugh while narrowing his pupils. His brother thought he was dangerous...
"Lee..." Mikey was the first to speak; his little brother was also covered in blood. Mikey pressed against Raphael's protection, but not before giving him a somewhat confused or surprised look; Leo can't quite articulate it because reading his orange brother is sometimes surprisingly complicated.
Rapha, who until then was only silent but looking at Leo with anger, with disappointment, not that Leo hadn't received that look from him before, or from his father... He knew how to read that look.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS ALL THAT!?" and there it was, the reprimand.
"I did what I had to do to save Mikey... There was no other way; we were cornered..." he tried to excuse himself, sounding desperate.
"YOU KILLED SOMEONE," accused Raphael with anger, almost frustrated as if Leo's crime had been committed by him.
"Exactly, I KILLED SOMEONE, I DID IT, RAPHA, YOUR HANDS ARE STILL CLEAN AND PURE WHY DOES IT BOTHER YOU SO MUCH!?" they all looked at him, amazed, somewhat stunned. They looked at him as if he didn't understand what he had just done.
But he did. He perfectly understood what he did, and yes, it felt horrible. He knows it's horrible what he did, but he doesn't regret it because if he hadn't done it, Mikey wouldn't be with them now, and it would be another blood staining them.
"YOU CAN'T CONTINUE BEING PART OF THE TEAM AFTER THIS..." they all looked at the eldest. Donnie didn't know what was happening; he was trying not to vomit and forget the memory. Mikey didn't understand his brother Raphael's decision.
"Are you kicking me out? Are you kicking me out of the family?" Leo interrupted, venom in his voice. Mikey then stood between his two older brothers.
"I think we need to calm down. Anger sometimes makes us say things we might regret later," Mikey indirectly looked at Rapha.
"I know perfectly well what I'm saying... We are heroes, and what you just did-"
"—Saved Mikey's life?" Leo interrupted, Raphael sighed heavily, losing patience —"I was the one who did it. I know what I did, and I don't regret doing it," Leo declared confidently. Mikey looked at his blue brother.
"You have to admit it was a desperate act, Lee. What you did was... horrible." Leo looked at his younger brother with insecurity and some anger, but he tightened the grip on his katana handle.
"I would do it again. I would do it again if it means they're safe." They all looked at each other, not knowing what to do or say. However, Raphael cut through the silence once again.
"Then you can't continue being a hero; you can't belong to the Hamato family if there's blood on your hands..." This time, Raphael said it calmly and sternly. His older brother's word was almost like a law; his father had always agreed with Raphael, it's impossible to contradict.

Hashiras from demon slayer react to hashira reader whos like 12-
˗ˏˋ TOO YOUNG ´ˎ˗
Tumblr media
— CHARACTER(S): Hashira/Pillars
— NOTES: 12? Poor reader omg 😭
Tumblr media
➸ UZUI TENGEN
He finds you impressive, you're a hashira at such a young age. But you almost remind him a little of himself, and all the training he did as a kid. He wishes you didn't have to be a demon slayer at such a young age. Him and his wives practically adopt you as their own since you clearly need a family.
Tumblr media
➸ SHINAZUGAWA SANEMI
He gets angry. He can't stand to be in the same room as you, most of the time. Though he's never mean to you, he just ignores you as much as he possibly can. How fucked is the world when a twelve year old child has to be able to fight well enough to become a Pillar? Makes him even more aggressive towards his brother.
Tumblr media
➸ TOMIOKA GIYUU
On the outside, he ignores you just like be ignores everyone else. You make him feel horrible about himself in more than one way. He's so bad at this whole Pillar thing that someone who isn't even a teenager yet joins the Corps. And then said child becomes a Pillar. He hates himself whenever he sees someone as young as you fight.
Tumblr media
➸ RENGOKU KYOJUROU
If you're from a demon slaying family like he is, he doesn't really react much. But if you're not? Kyojurou practically takes you under his wing. He trains you, takes care of you and anything else. He, alongside Senjurou, have also practically adopted you. He takes extra care to keep you away from his father as well.
Tumblr media
➸ TOKITOU MUICHIROU
He is kind of excited to meet you, actually. He didn't expect to have another pillar that was somewhere around his age. He still feels bad though, whenever he remembers your age. He knows what it's like feeling a little secluded from the group 'cause of his age, so he tries to befriend you even when he mostly forgets you.
Tumblr media
➸ IGURO OBANAI
He's very neutral towards you. He doesn't treat you bad, but he isn't particularly attached to you either. Though if he's ever with you on a mission he does his best to tackle the fight without you. He doesn't think someone your age should be part of an organization like this. He never voices this thought.
Tumblr media
➸ KANROJI MITSURI
On one side, she thinks you are absolutely precious! And you're so strong and brave for your age, you're just wonderful! But on the other hand, she feels bad that you are this strong and brave at such a young age. She plays with you a lot, and tries to let you still have a childhood even if it is tormented by demons and death.
Tumblr media
➸ KOCHOU SHINOBU
Much like Sanemi, you make her angry. Though she's not angry at you. Never at you. In fact, You'll never know she's angry at all. She acts like a protective, responsible and still very kind Older sister. She makes sure you take care of yourself, and if you're on a mission with her she will try to keep you unengaged with the fight, like Obanai.

Legitimate Question: Demon Sam and Soulless Dean, what would that be like?
To Start, let’s take a look at what we did get on Supernatural. First, Soulless Sam is frigging terrifying. This character is executed so well and the build-up leading to how dangerous he is is done greatl. At first, once we know he’s soulless, Sam is actually kind of amusing. He’s a dick, but a funny dick (kind of like Dean, but with a harder edge). This is especially jarring when Sam is usually the more empathetic of the brothers, or at least the more restrained one. This peaks, of course, in "Clap Your Hands if You Believe" when he basically steals the show (for me at least … "Safe room…"). We also see that he’s clever and not squeamish (his bloody smile in "Caged Heat" anyone?). But then we see that strong survival instinct and just how far he’ll go to protect himself. Killing Bobby so he can’t have his soul forced back inside him (and the potential danger of it) is … a lot. He isn’t maliciously going after Bobby, it’s just a means that will be justified in the end (for him), and that’s scarier than if he was just angry. He just. Does. Not. Care. And it’s amazing. Later, and in "Clap your Hands." We also see that he bangs every attractive woman that moves in his general vicinity, which is also very unlike our regular, more caring, Sam.
Tumblr media
Secondly, we have Demon Dean. This guy is a little more hit and miss for me. When we are introduced to this version of Dean, I have to be honest, my first reaction was, "So, he's basically just a loser, doichebag?" I get the intention of a Dean who doesn’t care and is just out to have fun, free of responsibility or guilt. Whereas Soulless Sam just literally can not give a fuck and ends up being a dick because of it, Demon Dean revels in being a dick. The Demon element in him enjoys being mean and hurting people just because he can. But he doesn’t feel scary at first, just shitty. In the second and third episodes of Season 10, Demon Dean is much more intimidating, the fight with annoying military guy is excellent in showing the scary side of this Dean. He is literally just toying with the man, like a cat playing with a mouse until it’s heart gives out from fear, and the cat just wanders off, now bored. I’ve seen some fans say Dean letting what’s his face (I legitimately can’t remember his name, but I didn’t like the character so I don’t care to look it up) live was an act of mercy, even though Dean himself says it will torment him more knowing he failed to kill Dean, after spending most of his life training for it, than if he had died fighting to avenge his father. I’m inclined to take Dean's word on that. So, yes, this Dean is scary and vindictive. However, the biggest difference in Demon Dean is that he doesn’t care about keeping Baby clean. No, but seriously, he enjoys mocking Sam and their family, and then he tries to kill him. Would he have succeeded if Castiel hadn’t stepped in, as in, would he have actually killed Sam? I’m not sure. But the fact that he wanted to is the polar opposite if the real Dean. For me, Demon Dean had some weak moments and some amazing moments, but he’s definitely not our Dean.
Tumblr media
So, if we use these two as a templates for soullessness and becoming a demon, it gives a bit if a template to start with. First, when you’re soulless, you still have instincts and seem to feel certain things like amusement, sexual pleasure, satisfaction (in being successful in a hunt), and a survival instinct. However, you lack the deeper emotions like love, your morality, concern for others, empathy. Jared once described soulless Sam as just being incredibly logical. However, we have also seen throughout the series that soullessness doesn’t affect everybody in the same way (a lot of people seem to do terrible things just because they were curious or are very impulsive). Second, Jensen once described Demon Dean as feeling lighter than regular Dean because he didn’t care about anyone or his responsibilities. So we know, similar to being soulless, demons just don’t care about people (though Azazel seemed to care about Meg in a way). We also see that they enjoy toying with people, inflicting pain (mental even more than physical, for the most part), and they are pretty much also all about their own survival. The biggest difference is, I guess, that they are more actively vindictive and have more true emotion than a soulless person. Also, like with soulless people, demons are somewhat different depending on who they were before becoming demons.
Tumblr media
So, if Sam was a demon, say if he kept hitting the demon blood and crossed over, what would he be like? I’m inclined to believe he has the potential to be scarier than Dean, in that he would likely be more focused and goal oriented as a demon. So, would he be pretty much just like soulless Sam, having a lot of sex and killing a lot (people instead of monsters). Would he enjoy toying with people like Dean did, or would he just ruthlessly kill anyone that got in his way. Would he not be all that different because he spent most (or all) of his life with some demon blood running through his veins already? Would he become the new king of hell, leading like he was supposed to as one of the psychic kids? Would he kill Dean for all the times he tried to control his life or because he made Sam feel human in some way, or would he stay away knowing the unknown would make Dean crazy? We saw him threaten Cass when he was soulless. Would he just kill him as a demon for the times he’s screwed the boys over or just because he’s an angel, or would he just be indifferent to him?
Tumblr media
What about Dean, if he was soulless, would he act the same as when he was a demon, mostly drinking and having sex, but without the "fun" of messing with people because soulless people don’t seem to feel enjoyment in that way? Or would he go the Sam route and become a monster killing machine, but even more so? I think Dean is more of a fighter/killer than Sam, so it’s possible that while Sam went methodical hunter, Dean would lean into the killeing machine side of things. How would he react to Sam if he couldn’t feel love for him anymore? Would he still have that instinctual drive to protect him, but he just like locks him in the dungeon to keep him safe so he can go out and get stuff done without looking out for him? Or would a Dean who doesn’t love Sam just say screw it, and leave? Would Dean even be an enjoyable character if he didn’t care about Sam, or go fanboy over various different things? How would he treat Cass, like an occasionally useful tool that he’d summon if he needed him (which, let’s be honest, he does even as his normal self at times) on a hunt or something, or would he just ignore him altogether? Would soulless Dean be more similar to MOC Dean, just less angry?
Tumblr media
I think I’ll ponder this more and do a follow up post later, but in the meantime …
I really don’t know the answers to my dozens of questions, so if anyone has thought about this in some detail, please do comment, reblog or shoot me an ask with your ideas. I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on Demon!Sam and Soulless!Dean.

Can’t believe I even have to write this, but okay, here we go. I’ve been getting a lot of hate in dms and people being unkind about this so I’m going to try and explain why I like this character:
Tumblr media
So I’m just going to try to explain it...
I like Henry as a character because unlike some other characters, he feels especially human to me, because he makes mistakes and owns up to them, he knows when he fails and tries to make up for it instead of hiding his mistakes or not acknowledging them. He owns up to them even if it makes him look bad, and he earnestly wants to fix things. He has a great sense of his moral code and won’t compromise on what he thinks is right, owing to him being able to know the difference between right and wrong.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He also shows humanity, in instances when others do not, an example being when Gage and the others are playing that sick game with the walker in the pit (also, it’s pretty reckless, but also badass how he jumped in) and he pitied the walker and ended it’s torment and the poor existence that Gage and Rodney kept him in, as well as in every interaction he has with Lydia, he truly means the best and Yes, he can be reckless, but he means the very best.
Tumblr media
He’s protective of his family and willingly and knowingly makes every one of his choices for himself and how it will better him and his family and friends, even knowing that he could be walking into danger, he does it anyway, because as he said ‘there’s right and there’s wrong,’ and helping Lydia escape her abusive past and present is something he feels strongly about, feeling protective over her not just because he has started developing feelings for her, but because he knows protecting and helping her is the right thing to do, even if he gets hurt or killed in trying to do so. He isn’t stupid, he knows the risks, maybe he didn’t think it all the way through to where it’s not just going to be fallout for him, but for the others too, but he means everything he does and he does it because he cares for everyone.
Tumblr media
He’s a child who lost everything and is trying to find his place in the world after he lost everything. He lost his mom in the first months of the outbreak, then in the span of a year he loses his dad and then his brother, a brother who in an instant had to become a father figure to his little brother, protecting him from everything that would harm him. Benjamin made it so Henry was slightly sheltered from the outside world they’d had to survive in before they’d reached the Kingdom, letting Henry have a childhood instead of having him grow up too fast with the stark realities of the world as it was.
Tumblr media
Then Henry loses him and that’s one of the first blows in his sheltered existence in the Kingdom. His anger and pain at the loss of Benjamin is one of the things that shapes his character as well as how in an earlier episode, he had said that he had wanted to be just like Benjamin. This is where the boy is having to grow up, getting thrown into the harsh reality of the world, but instead of giving up, he changes and fights for others and for what he lost. He’s also a frightened child, lonely, and angry and just trying to survive without everything he used to know, but he’s also very brave and tries to stand up for what he believes in. As well as all of that, He’s not a bad copy of Carl either, being his own person even though he was given part of Carl’s story, he didn’t play it out the same as Carl would have, going about it in his own unique way, which makes him so much more than just a poor carbon copy of Carl Grimes. He is all in all a completely different person and character. He goes about things in his own way, but one thing is evident throughout, he means everything for the best. He’s a genuinely good person and deserves better than he got.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lastly, I can relate to Henry, more so than I could ever relate to Carl, and so it makes me much more invested in loving Henry’s character . Maybe I almost lost everything too and maybe he’s a comfort character because I can relate... Is he perfect? NO, but nobody really is, and that’s what makes Henry so relatable. He’s honestly just doing his best with the cards he was suddenly dealt after going through multiple devastating losses. Even through those though, he still finds it In himself to be compassionate and brave.
All in all, I think people discount or hate on Henry too much because of their misunderstanding of his character, and that to me is pretty sad.
Tumblr media
Anyways, I’m not telling anyone they can’t dislike a character, just don’t hate someone who does like that character. Just be respectful. I’m seriously sick of being verbally attacked for my opinions in a fandom. That is the same reason I quit other fandoms.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A week later, Gilbert and Effie called Eugene down to the living room. Eugene had been sick with worry for Gilbert these last weeks. He'd read to him as he recovered, and had loved when Gilbert placed his hand upon his as a way of saying thanks. Eugene worried about Effie as well. She was being strong for all of them. Estella retreated to her toys and Eugene tried to comfort her, but he didn't know what to do. These were the thoughts that hung in Eugene's mind as he sat down next to Gilbert.
"Eugene, there is something that you should've been told long ago and now with my health issues we can no longer keep it from you." Eugene faced Gilbert and saw how he wrestled with whatever emotions tormented him. Wanting to fill the silence, Gilbert continued, "Eugene, er, we're, ah, you are not Effie's brother. You are our son."
"No." Eugene's succinct answer broached no more conversation, but Gilbert was undeterred.
"You are. Effie, your mother, was pregnant with you when I left for University. I knew she was pregnant when I left - "
Standing up and flailing his arms about, Eugene interrupted him, "You abandoned her?! How could you? You -"
"I DID NOT ABANDON HER! I proposed to her. I loved her and love her still. My father kept me from her. My father sent me away. Your mother's family protected her, you, and me from ruin and still allowed all of us to be together as a family! We may not have made the right decisions, but we made the decisions we made so that we would all still be together," Gilbert argued. His face was flushed, but he couldn't find the strength to stand. Effie stood up with such fervor though that the rocking chair she'd been sitting hit the wall and bumped the Wardian case behind her.
"That is enough," she hissed through taut lips. Shaking with anger at the whole situation, if not a little bit at the two dense men before her. "Gilbert, calm yourself. I did not almost kill myself these last few weeks to see it undone by an angry conversation. Eugene, sit. Now," pointing at the chair she'd just vacated. Eugene sat with an exaggerated grace to irk them. "You are my son. I bore you with my mother by my side and my sister judging me from here to kingdom come. Yes, we had you before we were married, but we were in love. Still are and still will be until one of us is called home. Society is not kind to people who don't follow the rules and we did not want our follies to affect you. We wanted better for you. We have provided better for you. I'm sorry that we lied to you, but it was the only way we could see that we could all be together. I could not have imagined leaving you in Wythe and coming here. You're my son. You're my blood and I was not going to leave you. I know you're hurting and I'm sorry for that as well, but I will not be held to task by a boy who has had a better life than either of his parents because of the sacrifices those parents made for him. We love you. Always have and always will."
"I feel like I've been tricked. How can I believe anything you say," Eugene cried. Gilbert shakily stood up and grasped his son by the shoulders. He pulled him close, but Eugene resisted.
"You've been our son this whole time. Every decision we made was for you. So you could have the best life we could afford you, but we were also selfish. We didn't want someone else to raise you, to experience all those moments with someone else. We needed you near us because you were the first best thing we ever did. You are part of us. How could we not want you with us? We love you son, but we also understand if you're angry. This is a shock and an adjustment. Just know that we were acting out of love." Effie had come up behind him and as he left Gilbert's embrace, he turned towards her. Looking at her with eyes that mirrored her own. Freckles that matched his own, and the loving gaze that she'd always bestowed on him. Not the gaze of a sister to a brother, he knew that gaze. He looked at Estella that way. This was the gaze of a mother who held her children's hearts in her eyes and in her actions. Who acted selflessly to protect her family at any cost, even if it meant doing the unthinkable to keep them with her. She opened her arms to him and he rushed into her embrace.
"Mother," He sobbed into her shoulder. She stroked the back of his head and shushed him. He was almost as tall as she, but her presence was that of a mighty oak. "I'm still angry, but I do love you both. I don't like being tricked, but I have long pretended that I was your son or at least had someone to call mother and father on a regular basis. I know you didn't mean to make me feel like I didn't quite fit but it happened. I'm happy that I do have a place to fit right now, but I don't know that I want to fit just yet." Effie tightened her hold on him, and Gilbert came up behind to rub is back.
"We're here for you always. However long it takes you to work through all of this, just know that we love you and we'll always be here."

Well, here's another remake of posters from episode 18 of Eldarya.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well, here's another remake of posters from episode 18 of Eldarya. Basically, I changed only the girl for my heroine.
Since Alya was the sister of both newlyweds, and Nevra was the brother of Karen, they escorted them to the wedding ceremony. Erika at this time was more tormented by thoughts about her knowledge that the Oracle had shown her. And so I couldn't focus on work. Even Mathieu caught her many times all this time in order to calm her down and cuddle her. The ceremony passed slowly, though the lovers were afraid, but no one prevented them from joining their destinies together in such a difficult time. Alya was next to Nevra and the children, whom she helped as much as she could. During the dance, first of the newlyweds, then of Nevra and Alya, who joined according to tradition, the converted vampire smiled sincerely and could not stop her tears of happiness for her loved ones, her husband was in the same condition.
-Still, it happened and now Karen will be under Chrome's protection. - Alya said with tears in a slow waltz with her husband, sometimes looking at the children who were sitting next to Maora.
-Yes, this is a long-awaited and amazing event. I am very happy for them! - Nevra said in response and pressed his wife closer to him, kissing her gently and passionately on the lips, to which she answered with the same zeal. True, their solitude did not last so long and soon they joined the general round dance with the rest of the guys. The smiles on their faces did not leave during the holiday. But by the end of the music, Nevra took Karen to dance, and Alya went to the children. Approaching her relatives, the vampire stroked their heads and even kissed them on the foreheads.
-Mom, mom, and now Aunt Karen will also have children? - Asked the younger with a smile.
-That's what I don't know baby. - Alya answers her, to which she receives a serious look from Maora, who was standing nearby.
-I do not think that my daughter will have time to do it, the situation is too serious. Before Nevra's mother had time to utter the last words, a shot rang out, and then again and again.
-It's better for everyone to lie down and try to hide in the headquarters! - Alya said seriously and the children with Maora followed her advice. The girl herself tried to appeal to her forces in order to install a small shield to protect them. The shots got closer and closer, some of the scenery even began to fall due to hitting them. The vampire held the shield over her relatives almost without protecting herself, because the kids are the future and they are more important. When they got to the gate, Alya transferred the shield to herself and began to look around, looking for Nevra, but he was not there. Well… It's time to look for him… With such thoughts, Alya quickly took off on dark wings and, having flown not so far, noticed her husband and Cameria in danger, and Erika, who was running away from them towards the forest. Landing next to her beloved, she increased the shield's size, shielding the two of them from danger as well. Nevertheless, the attack continued, but now at least Nevra would be more or less intact. Under this shield, Nevra even sharply kissed his beloved on the cheek, looking a little frightened, and then began to repel the attacks aimed at them. He came out from behind the shield and Alya tried to move him, walking along with Cameria. True, there was not much strength left and she was afraid that she would not stand it. Therefore, turning off her shield while Leiftan came to the rescue with her forces, she began to fight alongside Nevra. Still, she was not so weak in this, and the vampire's reflexes helped to dodge some attacks, and when she heard, she heard where they were shooting from. The battle continued for some time until all the attackers were neutralized. And Cameria stepped aside to Erika, and then even came with her father.
-Shame on you! You promised not to attack Eldarya! - Said Nevra, who approached the man and punched him very hard on the cheek. - Because of you, my family and friends are in danger! - After the words, another blow followed, but it seems that this did not frighten him, but only provoked him. After some time of interrogation Cameria came and Lance with Erica. Mathieu rushed to hug his friend and led her forward, while the rest went to the hole where the holiday was held. There, seeing the children, Alya and Nevra rushed to them and immediately hugged them tightly.
-Dear, it's good that everyone is safe. - Nevra even kissed the kids and Alya until he saw how Erica fainted into the arms of Mathieu. The rest of the days didn't go too well. Leiftan hasn't heard from Miko and the child for several days… Valkyon, Icarus, Ezarel were also silent in response to Nevra's letters. This caused great anxiety. The headquarters was preparing for what awaits them. Alya tried to find a way out of the situation, maybe the forces of everyone will help restore the crystal, or will they all have to go to Earth? This question tormented her all the time when she helped Nevra with tasks, the children were with Maora all the time and saw their parents only in their free time.
---------------------
Ну вот и еще переделки постеров с 18 эпизода элдарии. В основном меняла только девушку под свою героиню.
Так как Аля была сестрой у обоих молодоженов, а Невра братом у Карен, то они и провожали их к свадебному проведению. Эрика в это время больше мучалась мыслями о том своем ведении, которое ей показала Оракул. И потому не могла сосредоточиться на делах. Даже Матье ее ловил з все это время много раз, чтобы успокоить и прижать к себе. Церемония прошла неспешно, влюбленные хоть и боялись, но никто им не помешал соединить их судьбы вместе в такое тяжелое время. Аля же была рядом с Неврой и детьми, которым помогала чем могла. Во время танца, вначале молодоженов, потом и Невры с Алей, присоединившихся по традиции, обращенная вампирша искренне улыбалась и не могла унять слезы счастья за близких, ее муж был в таком же состоянии.
-Все-таки это произошло и теперь Карен будет под защитой Хрома. - Со слезами в медленном вальсе с мужем произнесла Аля, иногда посматривая на детей, которые сидели рядом с Маорой.
-Да, это долгожданное и удивительное событие. Я очень рад за них! - Произнес в ответ Невра и прижал сильнее к себе жену, целуя ее нежно и страстно в губы, на что та ответила с таким же рвением. Правда их уединение продолжалось не так долго и скоро они присоединились к общему хороводу с остальными парнями. Улыбки на лицах не сходили во время праздника. Но к концу музыки Невру увела Карен танцевать, а Аля отошла к детям. Подойдя к родным, вампирша погладила их по головкам и даже целовала в лобики.
-Мама, мама, а теперь тетя Карен тоже заведет детей? - Спросила младшая с улыбкой.
-Вот это я не знаю малышка. - Отвечает ей Аля, на что получает серьезный взгляд от Маоры, стоявшей рядом.
-Не думаю, что моя дочь успеет это сделать, ситуация слишком серьезна. Не успела мать Невры произнести последние слова, как раздался выстрел, а потом снова и снова.
-Лучше всем прилечь и попытаться укрыться в штабе! - Серьезно произнесла Аля и дети с Маорой последовали ее совету. Сама же девушка попыталась воззвать к своим силам, чтобы установить небольшой щит, защищающий их. Выстрелы становились все ближе и ближе, часть декораций даже начали падать из-за попадания в них. Вампирша удерживала щит над родными почти не оберегая себя, ведь малыши это будущее и они важнее. Когда те добрались до ворот, Аля перенесла щит на себя и начала осматриваться, разыскивая Невру, но тут его не оказалось. Что ж… Пора его искать… С такими мыслями А��я быстро вспархнула на темных крыльях и пролетев не так далеко заметила мужа и Камерию в опасности, да и Эрику убегавшую от них в сторону леса. Приземлившись рядом с любимым, она увеличила размер щита, огородив и этих двоих от опасности. Все же нападение продолжалось, но теперь хотя бы еще и Невра будет цел более менее. Под этим щитом, Невра резко даже поцеловал любимую в щечку, смотря немного испуганным взглядом, а после начал отражать атаки, нацеленные на них. Он же выходил из-за щита и Аля старалась двигать его, идя вместе с Камерией. Правда сил уже оставалось не так много и она боялась, что не выдержит. Поэтому отключив свой щит в то время, как Лейфтан пришел на помощь со своими силами, начала сражаться бок о бок с Неврой. Все-таки в этом она была не так слаба и рефлексы вампира помогали уворачиваться от некоторых атак, а при слухе она слышала откуда стреляли. Бой продолжался еще некоторое время пока всех нападавших не обезвредили. А Камерия отошла в сторону к Эрике, а после даже пришла с ее отцом.
-Как вам не стыдно! Вы же обещали не нападать на Элдарию! - Произнес Невра, подошедший к мужчине и врезавший очень сильно тому по щеке. - Из-за вас в опасности оказались мои родные и близкие! - После слов последовал еще один удар, но кажется это не пугало его, а лишь раззадорило. Через некоторое время допроса Камерии пришли и Ланс с Эрикой. Матье кинулся обнимать подругу и повел ее вперед, остальные же пошли к норе, где проводился праздник. Там увидев детей, Аля и Невра кинулись к ним и сразу крепко-крепко обняли.
-Милые, хорошо что все целы. - Невра даже целовал малышей и Алю, пока не увидел, как Эрика упала в обморок в объятия Матье. Остальные дни прошли не слишком хорошо. Лейфтан уже несколько дней не получал известий от Мико и ребенка… Валькион, Икар, Эзарель тоже молчали в ответ на письма Невры. Это приводило в огромное беспокойство. Штаб готовился к тому что их ждет. Аля же пыталась найти выход из ситуации, может силы всех помогут восстановить ��ристалл или же им придется всем уходить на Землю? Этот вопрос ее мучал все время когда она помогала Невре с заданиями, дети были все время с Маорой и виделись с родителями только в свободное время.

40 Day Anime Challenge 2023 Edition - Day 10: Character you despise with all your heart and soul
forgive me @risingfire17-the-weeb-trash I skipped a few days due to being sick so Imma post a few in a row today mkay?
Naraku (Inuyasha)
Tumblr media
This ...... bitch. This unbelievably ANNOYING ASSHOLE!!!! Okay okay okay. *deep inhale*
Tumblr media
I could go on and ON about why Naraku is such a flaming asshole, but that's only the tip of the iceberg.
It's more than just the fact that LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT GOES WRONG IN THE SERIES IS ENTIRELY HIS FAULT
It's more than the fact that:
he tore Inuyasha and Kikyo's love apart by shapeshifting as each of them and attacking the other, making them believed they were betrayed
he possessed Kohaku and made him kill his father and comrades and nearly killed his sister, Sango, AND set his horde of demons to kill off the rest of their village (and later LIED to Sango, claiming it was INUYASHA who killed them all) AND proceeded to keep Kohaku as his personal right-hand puppet and torment Sango by dangling the possibility of freeing her brother over and over and OVER
he cursed Miroku's family line with the Wind Tunnel, which will slowly kill him from the inside out the more he uses it in battle
he made Kagura kill all of Kouga's comrades (and quite literally has her heart in his hands to exert complete control over her while also being cruel enough to grant her free-will where she doesn't WANT to be under his control, JUST to lord it over her, the manipulative freak)
plus a bazillion other atrocities
Oh no. That's just standard villain shit.
No, Naraku's biggest sin is that he was written into the story TOO EARLY and TOO POWERFULLY.
Frankly, Naraku should have been terrifying. He should have been the Boss Villain of all Boss Villains. His entire motif is that of a spider, spinning his webs, and he is able to regenerate no matter how many times he's tore apart, and he can absorb demons into him and gain their powers.
In any other anime with a bit more guts, this would be a sickeningly TERRIFYING monster.
But instead..... *sigh* Naraku is just a cowardly lil bitch.
Despite his IMMENSE powers and functional immortality, he ALWAYS has force shields around him to protect himself, all the while gloating at the heroes for being unable to defeat him (and then being SHOOK when they come close to killing him).
His motive isn't even that great: he doesn't want to take over the world or some shit, he just wants to give the biggest middle finger and go "NEENER NEEENER NEEEEENER" at the heroes while destroying everything in his path. Which again, would be a funny twist in a dark humor way, or terrifying in a Joker kinda way, but he's just ANNOYING.
He is an overpowered douche-canoe who escaped death MULTIPLE times even though it'd ordinarily be IMPOSSIBLE (yes, I'm still salty that in episode 30 Kagome literally PIERCED HIS FUCKING HEART WITH HER SACRED ARROW and this bitch just KNOCKED IT ASIDE SO HE COULD ESCAPE?!)
Tumblr media
Gods, the list is ENDLESS with this asshole!!!
That's not even touching on his whole thing with Kikyo....... long story short: Naraku was once a bandit named Onigumo, whom Kikyo found, burnt up and paralyzed. She took pity on him and secretly tried to nurse him back to health. But the whole time, homeboy was getting a raging boner for her, but couldn't jack-off or anything because, well, can't move, and his impure thoughts were SO INTENSE he literally attracted a fuckton of demons. Onigumo offered his body and soul in order to walk and jerk-off again, so he can "take" Kikyo. Well.... jokes on him, the demons who took control wanted Kikyo dead, soooooooooooo. In order to ruin InuKik's love story, he kinda sorta had to kill the girl, rather than kiss her lmao.
But then, 50 years later, Kikyo is resurrected, AND her reincarnation is running around as well, AND Inuyasha is up and kicking, so Naraku proceeds to spin his little webs and try to target the group over and over and over.....
tl;dr: Naraku is an incel who got pissy that he didn't get the girl and proceeded to make it everyone else's problem

             WELCOME BAK HAYUN
                                                         ⁠TO THE PROMISE LAND
DETAILS
age / age they appear: 26  occupation: hapkido instructor group: the yuchae coven
PERSONALITY
On the surface, Hayun is temperamental and violent, especially on the matt. She hates to lose and will throw tantrums if she believes she was unfairly defeated, whether in magic or a hapkido match. She takes her opponents down without mercy. She is known for being far too blunt, but at least you always know where you stand with her. However, there is much more to her than that. She’s protective to those she cares about, loving to those that matter to her. Hayun is just not good at affection, unless she is close to a person. While this rough exterior causes friction with her coven, they are just glad she is on their side.
Mugunhwa is a better fit for Hayun on the surface,  and she certainly has issues with those on Yuchae who essentially take bribes, but Hayun would never consider subjugating another species. She is loyal to her coven, even if their perspectives don't always perfectly aligned. She cannot be swayed. However, because of her upbringing, she also feels a moral obligation to keep humans safe. After all, they have a lot to offer. They are just surprisingly fragile.
HISTORY
Bak Hayun was born in Pocheon, South Korea, to rice farmers. While her mother had come from an esteemed coven and money, she had given up everything to be with her father. While he was a witch as well, his family line hardly held much respect,  particularly because of their fascination with humans. They never found them to be beneath them and because of this, Hayun learned to respect them as well. She was the oldest of seven siblings, the rest all boys she had to wrangle. All of them had a tendency to roughhouse which made for a chaotic household. Her mother tried to discourage it, but Hayun's pigheadedness made it a lost battle.  
Growing up,  Hayun hardly saw her mother's family. Any time she did, she was met with disdain for not being ladylike or for behaving 'too human'. Yes, her brothers received similar comments about their behavior and lack of refinement, but Hayun received the brunt of their criticism. They could never fathom her as anything more than a disappointment, unworthy of their blood.
With so many family members practicing magic, no one in the Bak household ever bothered searching for a coven. They were satisfied with their rice farm, which always seemed to yield better crops than surrounding fields, even during droughts. Of course, everyone always knew Hayun was meant for more, even if she did not.
In a lot of ways, Hayun was average. Her grades were mediocre, except for sports. She also did fairly well in biology, but that was primarily due to her family's focus on elemental magic and the rice farm. While she was adept at the occasional curse, she preferred to handle arguments with her classmates through her fists. It became a policy for her when she realized she was a dreamwalker.
It wasn't intentional and hardly the kind of magic her family practiced. But, Hayun went home one day, furious at a person bullying one of her brothers. She fell asleep and found herself in someone else's dream. At first she thought it was just her own Dean and had a little fun with her situation. She tormented them with nightmarish images. The next day,  she went to school and found dark circles under the bully's eyes. That was when she understood it was not a dream. Unfortunately,  the damage was done. They never quite stopped flinching when they saw her.
Hayun realized she held a power her family had never tried and could not help her with. Already an outcast as the outspoken, aggressive girl she was, Hayun was treated like a pariah. Sometimes her anger took over in her and she couldn't help her actions. It became evident that for her, dreamwalking was linked to her emotions. Only when she could control them, could she control her power.
In an attempt to learn control, Hayun began to study hapkido. It helped somewhat, but mostly it was a source of happiness for her. After graduating high school, Hayun decided it would be best if she moved to Jeju. It was chaos, but the university had accepted her and despite the tense political climate in the supernatural community, she could find others like here on the island. It was certainly more help than the rice farm.
The next few years were a blur. Hayun met other witches and assorted supernatural creatures. She left school after earning a degree in biology and became a hapkido instructor. Her contradictory nature,  and her family's lengthy magical bloodline, made everyone expect her to join Mugunhwa. Everyone was surprised when she went to Yuchae instead and became a devoted member of the coven. Through them, she has started to grapple for control on her powers and keep balance on Jeju.
