We really need to talk about Kon's 20 hour long fever dream he had as a result of a mental breakdown because Bart was in a coma and he was convinced he was going to die more.

Anakin Skywalker gets tortured with electricity so often that it actually kind of turns him on at this point. That's how he was really able to defeat Palpatine.

An Attempt at a Semi-Realistic Analysis of Thoron Stab Wounds
Yes, I already made a post about this recently. But in my reply to Ana's musing about the subject of the thoron blade, I largely assumed fire-like behaviour from an electric spell, and it's been itching my brain all day. So let's go over it again:
What would be the effect of getting stabbed with a bolt of electricity? What would that look like if we offered like five more centimeters of realism to this setting?
Tumblr media
If you don't read the full post, my conclusions are basically:
If we treat a thoron bolt like a live wire, then even if it's a relatively weak source of electricity, with that entry placement it's instantly arresting breath, causing severe convulsions, and probably killing him in record time.
I don't care that Chrom has the power of god and anime on his side. There is no way in hell he's speaking or controlling his own movements in this moment.
The best interpretation of the thoron blade stabbing is the interpretation that makes the story feel best to YOU. Ignore me and my math if it doesn't spark (hah) any joy or interest for you.
Content warning: Detailed discussion of electrical shock and burns, and descriptions of such.
Classification of Energy Blades
I generally consider the thoron blade to be a subtype of a broader class of fictional weapons I call energy blades. These are your lightsabers, your halo fireblades, things like that.
Most of these weapons tend to behave like sources of pure heat, and most can have their behaviour modelled like a Hot Knife. The weapon is treated as though it has a physical component -- a sharp blade at its center that handles most of the actual cutting or stabbing -- and the fire/plasma/heat is treated as a secondary effect of the weapon. Narratively this is often the more balanced choice, because it means the weapon puts out a reduced amount of heat energy, which means damage is (mostly) contained to the initial wound site and its immediate surroundings. This is how you get instant cauterization weapons.
The other option is the Literal Flame model, which assumes pure heat energy with no physical cutting component. This is rarely, if ever, used in fiction, because it is overpowered. It works a lot like the acetylene torch analogue I used in my reblog of Ana's post. In short, for a volume of heat energy to be capable of "cutting" flesh, it's effectively vaporizing/instantly melting that flesh. That means it's putting out a LOT of energy. For a heat-based weapon, that means massive amounts of burning around the wound site, penetrating way deeper into the surrounding tissue than you expect, and the sheer heat of the air around the weapon causing widespread surface burns.
But the problem with using heat-based models in this instance is that Thoron is not a pure heat-source. Thoron is electricity, and electricity behaves very differently from pure heat. So if our aim is semi-realism, we ought to model it like electricity.
The Behaviour of Electricity
Fictional electric magic -- thoron included -- rarely behaves like real electricity. So, for our purposes, rather than an actual arc of electrical energy, let's model a thoron blade as a source of electricity.
Validar, through Robin, has effectively jammed a live wire directly through Chrom's lung and kidney. What does that do? To talk about that, we need to talk about how electric shocks work.
For electrical current to flow, you need a circuit. For a body to complete a circuit, it needs to contact two points with different voltage levels. A bird sitting on a high voltage wire has two feet touching points of the same voltage, so, voltage difference 0, the bird is safe. Chrom, however, has a live wire stuck through his kidney and feet on the ground; he's forming a circuit between a high voltage wire and the low voltage ground. Big voltage difference, big problem.
Once you get past the outer layer of skin, two things happen when a person is shocked. One, human bodies use electricity to move and to send nerve signals, so any muscles getting shocked will tense up. And two, humans do conduct electricity but don't do it well, which means there's a lot of heat being generated, which means the tissue getting shocked is also getting burned.
The majority of an electrical current will follow the path of least resistance. In this case, that means the shock initially goes from the impalement site, down through the legs, and out the feet. But electricity follows ALL available paths in some amount, so its not one straight line through the body, it does wider damage than that.
So What's The Damage?
Time to do some math!
(I am not an electrician or a doctor; please bear with me)
To my understanding, injury from electricity is a function of current and duration.
According to my sources, the amount of shock current someone experiences can be estimated using Ohm's law. To do this we need to know the voltage we're dealing with... so we're going to have to fudge some numbers here, since we can't actually measure the voltage of fictional magic spells.
Given thoron is a third tier lightning spell I'm going to say it's powerful, but not anywhere near lightning-from-the-sky powerful. I'll ballpark it around the voltage of... well, an electric chair, of the persuasion that kills you. Best I can tell, that means 2000 volts. You could probably reasonably go higher, but this feels intuitive to me.
My sources also tell me that the average internal resistance of the human body, with no skin in the way, is 1000 ohms. Just an average, not accounting for the different resistances of different tissue types and fluids.
So! To get the strength of the shock current Chrom's getting:
I = V/R = 2000 volts / 1000 ohms = 2 amps.
2 amps of current. Chrom is experiencing approximately 2 amps of steady current over 22 seconds.
I know that 2 amps doesn't seem like a big number. I need you to understand, dear reader, that currents that injure and kill humans are measured in milliamps. I need you to understand the sheer magnitude of how bad this is.
0.03 amps of current causes muscle contractions strong enough that you can't let go of the thing shocking you.
0.15 amps is enough to stop your heart, if the current goes through your heart -- which means death. It's enough to stop your breathing if the current goes through your lungs/diaphragm. It's enough to cause your limbs to tense so hard you are physically thrown.
Much more current than that, or current for more than fractions of a second, and you start talking severe burns.
I need you to understand that we have just directed 2000 milliamps of current through most of Chrom's internal organs for 22 entire gods-damned seconds.
Did I pull that voltage completely out of my ass? Yes. But Chrom is getting shocked directly in the organs for 22 fucking seconds so there is literally no voltage we can pick that isn't completely fucking him over. The exact number is just a question of how singed we want him at the end.
I know he has dragon heritage and general anime dude resilience on his side. I know this. But I cannot stress enough the degree to which that is not helping him here. In fact, things like the mild super strength like he has PROBABLY WOULD MAKE IT WORSE because your muscles contract way harder than you normally can contract them when they're being shocked!
No, Really, What's The Damage?
Best as I can tell, based on my limited understanding of electricity and its effects, here's roughly what happens to Chrom upon getting stabbed by the thoron blade when we pretend like this setting is a smidge more realistic than it actually is.
If you do not want to read graphic descriptions of injury this is your final warning to bail out of this post.
The instant the blade impales him, all the muscles from the bolt to his toes constrict. He instantly stops breathing. His legs and abdomen convulse so hard it throws him away from Robin.
He lands on the ground, and now the current isn't just going through his legs; it's going through any part of him that touches the ground, and that, in the end, is what's lethal.
His entire body locks up. Muscles pull as tight as they can go. He's convulsing on the ground, like a seizure, only worse. The skin around the bolt bubbles and chars. It smells like meat burning.
There's a sound like wood snapping as the force of his own writhing muscles fractures his bones.
He doesn't speak. He doesn't even scream.
It's bloodless and quiet. Twenty two seconds is a long time.
If Chrom was lucky, he died quickly. Heat turning blood to jelly, a lick of current stopping the heart, pain so great his brain knocks out of its own accord to spare him.
If being a son of Naga "helped" at all, gave him any resilience past what is human, it only means he was conscious a few seconds longer. Just enough time to be aware of the loss of control and the razor-sharp fire of nerve pain that erases all thought. With luck, not enough time to consciously realise he's dying, or whose fault it is.
Twenty two seconds is a long time.
The exit wounds on his back, on his limbs, on his head, sear, then bubble, then char in places. The damage around the bolt bubbles and blackens out and out and out. Don't think about what that looks like on the inside. The smell of burning flesh is thick enough to choke on.
He's still convulsing and burning long, long past the point of death. It only stops when the bolt fades.
In Conclusion:
The only thing saving us all from trauma around this cutscene is the T for Teen rating.
Validar could you pick literally any other execution method because holy hell. Robin carries a sword. Why didn't you just use THE SWORD, VALIDAR.
If you choose to model the thoron blade as a Hot Knife, or as a Literal Pinpoint Flame, or as either of those with a secondary mild electric shock effect, those are all extremely good options for how to handle this event. They offer an experience closer to canon with a highly variable level of injury severity. Singe the man to your taste, allow last words or don't, pick your level of blood and bad smells, those do it all.
Live Wire, as described in too much detail in this post, may be a marginally more realistic model if you want to treat thoron as a straight up source of electricity. Live Wire is also probably the most horrifying option of the bunch, and the one that offers everybody involved the least closure, which has it's own narrative value.
In the end, this is naught but applying a little too much realism and math to anime video game, because I find that fun. If this doesn't work for you throw it out. Pick whatever interpretation makes the best narrative for YOU. If you are like me and are fascinated by the most horrifying option, welcome, we can feel terrible about this together now.
Electricity is terrifying, never touch an outlet, rest in charred little pieces Chrom, goodnight everybody.

Here he is! DILF Father of the year! These were a lot of fun to work on, and it felt really good to FINALLY work on my au Vlad. As always, design notes will be under the cut. I really do appreciate the amount of support I've gotten from doing these redesigns, and I'm so motivated to work on more!
Tools used: XP Pen Artist 15.6 Pro, Clip Studio Reblogs > Likes!
Masters So for this look, I wanted to go more casual and approachable for Vlad since I also had my False Mentor (name subject to change) au in mind while I was working on it. Plus I knew I was going to draw him in a suit for the au look, so I wanted to show more range in his designs. I gave him more volume in his hair because it's just more fun to draw really. I also gave him a subtle Packers sweater to nod to that about him.
Plasmius OH BOY I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS ONE!!!!!!! I did something like this a while ago, but wasn't entirely satisfied with it as time passed. I really leaned into that vampire aesthetic by using Viago from What We Do In The Shadows as a main source of inspiration. The jabot and epaulettes gave me a little trouble at first, but I kept working at them and I think they ended up looking great! I also nixed his gloves and gave him the cool gradient on his fingers. I'm so in love with this design and how camp it is and how it's just so VLAD.
False Mentor Again, name subject to change, but this is my design of a version of Vlad that he presents when he first reveals to Danny that he's also half ghost. It's really just a palette swap of his in-show design with a few of my own personal touches. I made his skin more tan like I did with Danny's ghost form to imply that he was also burned a bit when his portal accident happened. Actually all of the colors except for his skin tone are lifted from Danny's ghost palette. You know how some shapeshifters can only turn into things that they've seen? That's what I was thinking with this ghost Vlad's colors. He just met the only other halfa, AND he's Jack's son, so he wants to make himself look like how he thinks Danny would expect him to look. It's that familiarity that adds to what Danny latches onto in this au. Of course, Vlad wouldn't be caught DEAD in coveralls. He has standards.

Everyone say hi to my new hunter Aloysha lmao ✨️ She's a mercenary currently under Ruza's employ (Aloysha sweet-talked her into it), or at least that was the case until the two of them got tangled up and separated in the paleblood hunt. Aloysha has a pretty great time there to be honest.

Danny arguing about whether he was electrocuted or just shocked/suffered an electrical injury with people.
"You can't say you were electrocuted! Electrocution means you died and you are clearly not dead"
My question is if you got shocked by a portal and briefly lost vitals, would that count as being briefly dead? In a medical sense, there are different definitions/types of death so I'm not exactly sure here.

the shitscript is in fact a a a shitscript but crowley and aziraphale's 6000 years of crowley cheating at checkers every time and aziraphale never wins is seriously so insanely funny. like.
aziraphale is not at all stupid, let alone enough for crowley's literal "whats that outside!!!! [snatches his pieces]" but the fact that he KNOWS hes been cheating this whole time and has been LETTING him is so fucking funny.
not for the reason the script gives (something something its aziraphale's lame moral lesson that even he knows is stupid, but only after an 11 year old points it out to him) but for the reason ive invented in my mind, which is that this is yet another example of their looserman weirdo foreplay
#mi#fuck it. goes in my good omens tag#good omens#i am firm in my belife that they only have a. bad sex but lots of it or b. looney toons sex that gets interuppted by increasingly outlandis#incidents cumulating in like a stick of dynamite from a mining convention thats passing through town accidentally gets swapped with the cig#the cigar that aziraphale was going to use in their noir detective rp that theyve been working up to for 6 years (technically 8 but they#forgot about it for a few years in the middle) and when he goes to sensually smoke it he gets blowed up like columbo and when the smoke#clears all his clothes have spun around backwards like daffy's beak.#both scenarios cause power outages but for different reasons. in the first its bc even the lamest of sex has them like AWOOOOGHAAAA and#convinced theyve reinvented gods greatest gift to mankind and inadvertently fuck with the power grid and in the second its because#crowley tried to feed aziraphale food in bed but butterfingered the fork and as it slipped and tumbled and bounced between his hands like a#master juggler high on too little sleep and too many coworkers who say shit like 'egads!' it miraculously found its way into the wall outle#(the only uncovered outlet in the bookshop; every other outlet has one of those babyproof covers because aziraphale doesnt trust the wiring#to not make random bolts of electricity to come out otherwise; which means they really do do that purely bc he expects it)#and when he impulsively went to pull it out he got electrocuted but on account of him not being human it just felt a bit funny and then#they stood and took turns holding the fork in the outlet and giggling like old ladies do at raunchy operas; completely blowing out the#circuts in the bookshop and every other shop on the same wiring

Harmonia was once again questioning her life choices. But this time she fucked up big time. And that even though everything was going so well. Even if she was still new to the people that had hired her, she was sure she could pull this off if she put her all into it. Now she was lying next to her target, partially restraining one of the princess’s arms and one of her own arms stretched out over the princess’s throat. Her right arm was restrained by the other girl whose free hand was around her own throat. When she finally managed to pry the hand away from her throat, the partially restrained arm managed a touch in return.
“I don’t necessarily need to choke you Angel and you know it. Do you know that at a certain voltage lightning becomes really hot?”, the princess taunts.
Harmonia subconsciously tried to wiggle away from the touches on her throat, but it was no use. A dulled-out part of her brain wondered weakly about the lightning. Didn’t the princess have different magic?
“So, what are you going to do, huh? Torture me? Interrogate me simultaneously? Kill me?”
“So impatient.” The princess laughed.” It’s like you’re begging me to hurt you.”
Harmonia scoffs: “You wish.”
“Oh, sweetheart if I wanted to get you begging I could. But that’s no fun yet.”
“I. would. rather. die.” Harmonia shoots back. “Alright, sure.” The princess conjures a ball of lightning. After a few moments, she begins to speak again. “Okay, that voltage should be deadly even for angels.”
In the next second, she directs the lightning onto Harmonia.
And the last thing Harmonia knows is every fibre of her being on fire, every muscle contracted. Then blackness.
Electra got up on her feet and swooped the unconscious angel into her arms. Then she went to the door, laid a hand on it, and watched as the rectangle turned into a portal looking into a room with a stone floor, no windows and a cheminee. The demoness walked through the portal and entered the other room.
There already waiting were two other creatures.
“You, clean this!”, she ordered a boy that appeared to be a fey. “And you, go fetch me some clothes, I think the same size as yours should suffice.”, she ordered an older-looking centaur.
The two creatures hurried to do as told and shortly after both tasks were completed. The two returned to their places in front of their owner, kneeling with lowered heads.
Electra approached them and halted a few paces before them. “Rise.”, she ordered, more gently this time. The creatures instantly obeyed, standing in front of her and shyly holding eye contact. Then Electra gently stroked their hair. “Well done, my dolls.” She could feel how eagerly her dolls leaned into her touch. Then she heard Harmonia move a bit behind her. She let go of her dolls and tried not to visibly enjoy the despair in their eyes at that. “Leave us.”, she ordered and they left the room.
-----
Slowly but surely Harmonia came out of the thick black. Regaining each sense after the other. She felt groggy as if she got run over by a herd of pegasi. Next, she registered that she was laying on her stomach and tried to stretch her wings but nothing happened. Trying to move a finger or her legs did her no good either. That sped up her coming back to consciousness drastically because now adrenaline pumped through her veins. Harmonia tried to move her head; that was the only thing that worked. However, she froze right back up as she heard steps echo through the room behind her. It couldn’t be a big room if it reverberated like that she thought dully. The steps come to a halt next to Harmonia’s head and, even with her instincts screaming at her not to, she turned her head towards them.
“So, finally awake huh angel? You nearly had me worried if I took too much voltage and if you’re so much more fragile than the other angels I met.”
Harmonia recognized the voice and finally through clouded consciousness and adrenaline her memories set in.
“Demon-bitch.”, she pressed out in response.
The other just laughed. Ma’am will do just fine.”
„Go home!“
The demon‘s smile dropped off her face and the playful spark left her eyes. She stepped closer, crouched down, and grabbed Harmonia by the throat, nails digging into the skin ever so slightly. „Watch your mouth, dear. You won‘t like what happens otherwise.“
“Oh, really?”, Harmonia choked out before the demon cut off her air completely. Slowly Harmonia runs out of air but not without glaring daggers at her capturer.
Moments before the angel could pass out, the other let go and got up again. She moved her finger a tiny bit and watched the young woman start to cough and curl in on herself ever so slightly. Her eyes widen in surprise before white, marble-like fingers reach up to her throat to gently touch the sensitive red. She squeezes her eyes shut for a second before the moment’s gone and she straightens up again.
With a kick, the demon turns Harmonia on her back, where she puts a foot on her stomach, pressing down. “I technically just wanted to get you settled in right now, but if it’s your wish to misbehave then I can reschedule and we’ll hold your first lesson instead. What will it be?”
Harmonia narrowed her eyes in pure hatred but then retreated to a neutral expression and body language.
„Very good. Sit up.“
Harmonia pushes herself up, into a sitting position and stretches her wings.
„Now kneel.“
Harmonia’s eyes snap up and find hers. She straightens up and barely noticeably holds her head up higher. Her whole face is now closed off again.
The demon sighs. “Listen here doll. We both know how you got here. It was your own fault really. You and your pile of puny little feathered choir kids tried to assassinate a princess of Gehenna. You greatly underestimated the difficulty of doing that and ran into our trap. My trap. That goes to show that you obviously weren’t made for complexity. So, I took you in and now all you have to do is look pretty, entertain me, and obey. And we can do this the hard way or the easy way, both works well for me, just know that eventually, the ending will always be the same.”
Harmonia stayed stoic but the demon could see a flicker in her eyes that wasn’t there before.
“Alright then, the hard way. I’m just going to make some things clear before we begin. My name is Electra but you won’t address me like that. You will address me as Ma’am. Always. You will do whatever I say and remember the rules I give you. Break a rule you will get punished depending on the severity of your disobedience. Behave nicely and you get rewards. Understood, so far doll?”
“I heard you.”, the angel bit out.
“Excuse me?” Electra’s voice got a threatening nuance.
“I heard you…Ma’am.”, she forced out eventually.
It was painfully forced but it was something. Progress is progress Electra thought to herself.
“Now then. Let’s start with your training, shall we.”
And before Harmonia could react her body lit up in pain and the air filled with the crackling of electricity and Harmonia’s half-suppressed groans.
After what feels like a whole eternity Electra draws back her electricity. She inspects the angel laying before her on the ground. Still twitching from the electricity left in her body. “Kneel.”, Electra orders.
“Fu-Fuck-you.”, Harmonia bites out. She glares up at her in rage.
“Hmm, seems like this isn’t going with you, is it? Pure physical pain isn’t your thing, huh, doll? Let’s try something else as well. She pushed her hand forward towards Harmonia, who was thrown against a wall of the room. There she kept her, not being able to move a finger. Her angel’s eyes went wide as she watched Electra slowly advance towards her. “I believe you got something wrong here, my dear doll. You believe you’re your own person. You believe this isn’t your life. That I am…unjust.” Electra came to a halt in front of Harmonia. “That faux life of yours ended the second you took on that job. This is your life now. I am your life now! You will comply, and if you keep up your defiant façade I will put you through worse than you could even fathom. But that’s messy. So, I will give you a gift, a warning, not to defy me.” Electra burned away Harmonia’s shirt and lit up her finger with lightning. “Don’t worry, this won’t shock you.” She pressed her finger on the skin above Harmonia’s heart and let the lightning sink into her skin.
“You demon-bitch, what did you do to me?!-Argh!”
Pleased with herself Electra sees tiny lines spread out from the angel’s heart, carving themselves into her skin. There was no blood flowing out but Electra made had made sure it hurt.
Harmonia follows her gaze and sees the lines as well. They reminded her of cracks, or rather…lightning and she knew she would shudder if she could. “Wtf did you do?!”
This time her angel only sucked in air sharply in response to more pain flaring up.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, my dear doll, you really need to get brighter.”
This earned her a sarcastic look from her angel which resulted in the carved lines spreading out more.
Electra grabbed her angel by the jaw and leaned in close as she said: “Understand that you are mine to own and mine to do whatever I please with. This is your only purpose.” She shifted her hand to caress the side of her face, claws ever so slightly touching the skin. With a flick of her hand, she released her angel and swiftly caught her in what seemed like a hug. Gently she then started to pet her doll’s wings and murmured in her ear: “Do you understand that now, doll?”
Harmonia was sure her tormentor could feel how she was shaking against her. She had the urge to twitch her wings away from the touch but was too scared that the demon might hurt them.
“I’m waiting, Harmonia-doll.”
Harmonia choked on air before she managed a shaky. “Yes, Ma’am. I understand.”
“You understand what? Say it, doll.”
“I understand that this is my purpose. That I am yours to own, yours to do whatever you please to do with me. Ma’am.”
“Very good, doll.”
Harmonia avoided her tormentor’s cold eyes when she finally let go of her after a last pet over her wings. Electra observed her angel for a few moments. She was not perfectly happy with her progress yet but could see that her angel was too emotional to work efficiently.
“I will send a maid to bring you food and water to wash yourself. You are to not interact with them, they won’t react to you anyway. Do that and then go to sleep. I expect you well rested and ready for tomorrow’s training. Do you understand, doll?”
“I understand, Ma’am.”, Harmonia answered, now more exhausted than scared.
“Good.” And with that Electra left the room, magically locking the door again behind her.
Harmonia just stood there, still shaking. How did she get here?? How??? Eventually, she zoned back enough to shake her head and walk to the fireplace. There she sat down, her wings around her and tried to get warm despite the cold of the stone floor and the shock. When the maid came she gladly ate the dinner and washed herself with a warm cloth. After she changed into the new clothing she rolled herself in front of the fireplace, wings covering whatever bit of her they could. She wasn’t given a blanket and the stone was hard but she was used to harsher conditions and terribly exhausted from the torture and the adrenaline. So, she fell asleep quickly. Drifting off in an uneasy rest.
