yessssss we have arrived at the night before the count's duel with albert! mercédès is here! she's calling him edmond! she's begging him to spare her son's life!! she's saying shit like "avenge yourself, edmond! but avenge yourself on the guilty; avenge yourself on fernand, avenge yourself on me, but don't avenge yourself on my son!" and he's roaring in despair and seizing handfuls of his hair and AGREEING TO IT even though it means HE will have to die instead (because albert threw a glove in his face in full view of everyone at the opera a couple hours ago and men are such babies about that) and he will be dying without having achieved his vengeance, which in his mind is akin to god making all of creation and then on the seventh day "extinguishing the sun and pushing the world back into eternal night" (this is literally how he talks btw) and she's thanking him and telling him she still loves him and two little tears are coming to his eyes (but they disappear because, and i quote, "no doubt god had sent an angel to collect them") and then she's leaving and he's sitting there head in hands ("as if his brow alone could no longer support the weight of his thoughts") saying to himself "i was mad not to tear out my heart the day i swore revenge"! YES! YES! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!

The conjuring scenario
What there like in a relationship with you?
Tumblr media
Ed Warren
Tumblr media
How you both meet was through Lorraine (in this he isn’t married to her)
100% a golden retriever partner
Kind of partner to be calm and collected in the most weird or non calm situations
Jesus is everywhere. Literally
You best believe that this man has a backup cross for his backup
Loves to actually do the cooking then eating it
Always makes sure your ok. He puts you before himself almost to the point where it’s selfish
6/10 protective over you. He knows that you can handle yourself pretty well so he’s not worried about that but once again, he is your ✨man ✨
Sometimes act almost like a parent then a partner
Always worried about you since all the haunted objects he has, with all the demonic possessions are always with him, afraid if them get to you
But at the end of the day you are his rock and nothings gonna change that not even a demonic scare
Annabelle 
Tumblr media
How did you get in situation, we don’t even know. Hell not even Annabelle knows why there with the likes of you but here you both are 
How you both met was that you are the Warrens oldest daughter
They are the type of partner that is cold and cruel but as a TINY soft spot for you
They have never been in a relationship with anyone or anything before so…… I guess you take most of the rings and the affection parts, or even how to show it
They don’t hate it though more…. Tolerate it to an actual likable level to where they don’t wanna kill you
5/10 protectiveness over you. Half and half is the best way to explain it. They actually help you to a certain extent at some point, but be prepared to mostly face stuff on your own
But overall even though all of these scenarios seem bad and all no offense, but what did you expect? Hug and a kiss? That’s not going to happen soon. But……….. there is a spot in their non existence and cold heart for just you that even though they don’t understand it….. it is special for them…
Valak
Tumblr media
Once again we don’t know how we got here, but we’re here
You two met when they were disguised as in the usual, nun form, and you were an actual nun
They are the type of partner that like scaring you more then loving you
They love your fear. It’s delicious to them more than all the other people they have scared, which is one of the reasons why they’re with you
In the relationship department for affection. Kind of like Annabelle but they would actually give you things surprisingly
Like: dead birds, dead rats, dead flowers, hell even dead body’s of other nuns. A lot of dead things
At least it wasn’t you that turn to a dead gift
5/10 protectiveness over you. Just like Annabelle
But overall they are a ancient evil entity that has never been with someone or anything in all of its centuries of living, and probably even more than that and hell, 100% not with a human but here we are. It is cold and cruel to you like it just everyone else as it doesn’t give you special treatment, but…….. like Annabelle….. there’s a spot for you and it’s cold demonic heart….. it’s just deep inside it

Miller's Girl Review/Recap
Spoilers for the full movie!!!
No seriously...I spoil the full movie, so if you've not seen it, turn back!!
Cairo is 18 years old bibliophile and inspiring author, who is extremely intelligent, lonely and bored of her life in Tennessee, Cairo's rich lawyer parents completely abandon her, leaving her to dwell in their mansion like a ghost left behind. Cairo seems convinced they don't care about her. That dynamic isn't explored any further sadly.
 Cairo is striving to escape to Yale but struggling with her entry essay. To write about her greatest accomplishment. Cairo realizes she has none, as she’s been insulated in the bubble of her privilege or as best friend Winnie calls her “just another run-of-the-mill generationally wealthy gal living in a haunted ancestral mansion,” 
 The college essay is actually the catalyst for the movie. Cairo needing inspiration and along comes failed writer Jonathan Miller. 
Miller is stuck in his mundane life as a literature teacher, his writing career amounting in a poorly received book and a wife who is more focused on her own career and any available alcohol than placating her husband.It’s unsurprising that Jonathan becomes drawn to Cairo — though his wife exudes sexuality, a good portion of the movie she's in her lingerie, it seems to be no match for Cairos charms.
Cairo is like a breath of fresh air to Jonathan, a young attractive girl who intellectually seems to be on the same wavelength as him and appreciates his opinion and wisdom. He thinks he finds in her a willing protégé into whom he can pour his own unrealized ambitions as a novelist.
Jonathan lets himself be seduced by Cairo’s Intelligence in literacy and flattery. Her being complimentary of  his own book strokes his ego, not to mention her receptiveness to his attention.
Somewhere along the line Miller forgets himself and his boundaries as an educator, treating Cairo not as a student under his care but as a peer and fellow writer.
The movie throws in moments of  mutual attraction and showcases Miller's descent into crossing the line of appropriately, keeping on pushing his own choice of college on her even after she said she was dead set on yale, sharing a cigarette multiple times, inviting the girl to an event after school filled with Miller's friends, looking like a first date as they squeeze next to one another during the reading.
With midterms looming, Jonathan gives Cairo a special assignment: write an essay in the style of an author she admires. An assignment that will soon prove fatal to his career and possibly his freedom.
A mix-up in the classroom lands Cairo’s cell phone in his possession and he breaks another unspoken boundary, he drives to his student house who he is aware lives alone to return it to her.  
What follows is completely up to interpretation of the audience whether or not the two of them confront their mutual attraction. Whether the pair actually shared a forbidden kiss or if they even went further is up for debate. Something may have actually  happened between them at her house. I wouldn’t be surprised if his ‘fantasy’ is actually him recalling their night together when he reads her story.
Cairo delivers her midterm essay inspired by Henry Miller, sent with the note ‘love, Cairo’.
Feeling underappreciated by his wife as usual Jonathan lurks to his man cave where he proceeds to read and masterbate to Cairo’s essay, whether Jonathan is recalling the night or imagining this would've happened between the two is never stated.
The story  in which she thinly disguises Jonathan and herself as her subject and proceeds to write a smutty story almost fanfiction-like of a liaison between the two protagonists. 
 This finally shakes out  Jonathan of his lust filled head to put a stop to things, but unfortunately  for him he's  already gone too far. He's toyed with Cairos growing feelings  much less (potentially) with her body. As the two of them try to navigate the repercussions of their inappropriate intimacy. 
Jonathan tells Cairo to scrap the essay and write a new one; the complete turn around shocks Cairo.  
One day he was this cool teacher who's her friend and potentially her lover, he gives her attention and flirts with her and then next day he threatens her of failing the class. threatening to fail Cairo over the story is the worst thing he could have done in Cairos mind. If he had done it, she would've not been able to go to the college of her choice, Something extremely important to her, which he's well aware of, maybe restricting her to go to any college  at all. Leaving her stranded in Tennessee would have been her worst nightmare.
What follows is the complete ruin of any type of relationship the pair had, Cairo is angry and vengeful. Jonathan's betrayal blindsighted her and as the intelligent girl she is feels that blow to her pride and her feelings. Cairo let's rip at Miller, all his insecurities laid bare, Miller eventually calls Cairo a child and she calls him a coward. 
Him acknowledging her as a child is sickening now that the viewer has seen his actions throughout the movie. To him she's a femme fatale, a fantasy when he wants her to be but when things get real and serious, she's just a naive child and he knows better.
Cairo for all her scheming is still a teenage girl who for the first time has her heartbroken, and that heartbreak turns to cold rage and to get her revenge not even her best friend Winnie is safe from her plans.
Winnie is an interesting character throughout the movie that doesn't get the screen time and depth she deserves.
Winnie is a known lesbian according to Cairo, though Winnie playfully disagrees, claiming to like both as she tells Cairo of her flirtations with high school coach and Jonathan's friend Boris. Although Winnie claims to be interested in Boris, it is obvious to both the viewer and Cairo that Winnie has unrequited love or lust for Cairo.
Cairo offers to make out with Winnie and send a picture to Boris to try to get the coach jealous, perhaps getting her revenge at that moment at the coach rather than her desired revenge against Jonathan. Cairo manages to manipulate Winnie's obvious feelings for her, kissing surprisingly lustfully and hard since it was a supposed ruse, however that moment soon breaks and Cairo dismisses Winnie coldly.
Boris is shown to be a complete hypocrite. His boundaries with students are just as bad as Jonathan despite his denial. The first meeting we see of him and Jonathan is Boris stealing Cairo's erotic novel she had left behind and reading it aloud, completely ignoring any decency of Cairo's privacy. His relationship to our knowledge doesn't go as far as Cairo's and Miller's. However texting a student's personal cell at night is a violation in itself. At  the end of the movie  he tells Jonathan that he “never crossed the line”  in complete denial of how close he could have been in the same boat as Jonathan if Winnie didn't protect him from Cairo's threats. Winnie and  Cairo's friendship becomes a casualty as Cairo blackmails her silence by threatening to out Winnies situation with Boris.
His ‘survival’ for Jonathan's public fall from Grace.
The telling thing is that Cairo didn't lie when talking to the Dean. 
The fact that Cairo told the total truth to the dean leads me to believe that the kiss we saw wasn't real, she was all set to ruin his life and mentioning the kiss would've been the sure way to do that, however she didn't mention it once.
I believe Cairo is many things..but I don't believe she is a liar.
Honestly kiss or no kiss, it doesn't really matter.
Even more confirmation that Miller is not the victim of this story. The dean was asking all the right questions to find out if he did anything inappropriate. The fact that every answer she gave was the truth and the dean looked disgusted is proof in itself. She had a meeting with Cairo first, and Jonathan confirmed everything that Cairo said but was trying to excuse his actions the entire time. The dean thankfully didn't buy into his excuses.
Jonathan Miller is the Villain of this story, his choices were what lead him on this path, he could have done what any respectable teacher would have done and shut Cairo's flirtations down, but his ego and attraction won over his common sense.
Cairo’s actions do not cancel out her victimhood.
The Ending however was a bit too ambiguous for my taste. Through it all, Jenna Ortega is captivating enough to keep me watching. Freeman is completely overshadowed by not only Ortega’s performance, but most of the supporting cast. “like imitation crab in gas station sushi” is a very accurate description to his portrayal of the very one note character.
Cairo Sweet may be the character I will defend absolutely. A morally grey protagonist who deserved better.

Some Ninja Randy related art I just wanted to post right now. But it’s not just the og, but some different versions of him that I had made long time ago and decided to try drawing again today!
Tumblr media
Oh boy, I haven’t thought of these guys in a very long time until now. Some of you who has seen some art from both my old account and the old ones in this account may know of them (expect for Bad Ending!Randy, I never really showed him, I think). And yes, I will kinda explain each one of them since the rest of you probably don’t know about them at all so here we go.
1. Evil! Randy
an evil version of Randy, with all the chaos pearls in his disposal now that the sorcerer is fully gone. And no, not in the way like in the season 2 finale but like…well.. let’s just say, he’s still trapped.
staying in the now abandoned norrisville high school (what happen to everyone in there? No body knows), Evil! Randy is mostly alone by himself, plotting and thinking about what to do next now that everything with him has changed.
If he ever does get a visitor in the school, he seems quite calm and wise towards them, showing them around and even asking them for favours to help him a little around the place, give him company as he haven’t had some in so long…..but don’t be fooled. Remember, those green orbs corrupts whoever has them and this Randy is no different.
Howard’s and the Nomicons whereabouts in this au? currently unknown.
The only new thing about him right now are those few green glowing cracks on his suit and all, I thought those would look cool on him.
——
2. Horror! Randy
Now you can easily find this guys story and first drawings of him on my account. Just click on the Rc9gn tag while staying on my account, scroll far down and you’ll find it. Easy peasy. But if you’re too lazy, I’ll give you a short(er) and quick version.
This Randy’s story takes place back in season 1, right after he just became the ninja and a few days passed. He meets some evil spirit who takes a form of a ninja and tricks him into thinking that it’s from the nomicon and that there’s people who are monsters in disguise’s that he has to ‘get rid of’. Because of this along with illusions from the spirit to make it more believable, he ends up killing lots of innocents, even Howard which he immediately feels tons of regret and guilt for.
At the end, Randy becomes a lonely mess, a lost cause, a paranoid psycho ninja who now can’t tell the difference between an actual monster and a human thanks to the manipulation of the fake ninja spirit who is now suddenly gone along with the illusions.
Basically, this is a fucked up Randy who suffers a lot and is very lonely. He does kill though.
—-
3. Disbelief! Randy
This Randy is kinda based on and inspired by the disbelief Papyrus Undertale Au. But instead of Papyrus with Sans jacket on, it’s the poor ninja boy with Howard’s. Most of this one is just Randy wearing the only thing he has left of his dead friend, trying to avenge him. Who or what got Howard killed? From what I remember (I never wrote any of these guys stories down) it was Mcfist and Viceroy, it was an accident with a robot of theirs. They never meant to have it kill the guy but it just…happen.
Damn, I have two au’s where Howard is dead. Good lord-
—-
4. Bad Ending! Randy
One I have never shown here before.
This was first a ‘what if’ thing. Like what if at the season 2 finale, in the battle between the sorcerer and Randy, it ended up terribly wrong? With Julian and Howard coming in too late, The sorcerer successfully stabs Randy deeply in the chest, making him be the one to lose and slowly die. The last things he got to see and hear at the end is a concerned Julian, a devastated crying Howard and the laughter of his enemy in the background.
After dying with one last breath, Randy ends up in a void. A blank, white, empty void with no one else but him, who is now mostly black and white, expect for the bleeding wound on his chest, a painful reminder of his defeat. Well, the nomicon is with him. However, he can’t communicate with it anymore.
Why? Because the book, that is also lost of color like the boy, seems to be corrupted. Not like evil corruption but just some kind of corruption that keeps it shut and quiet, no glowing, no beeps, nothing, having this sort of ink all over the cover that never stops dripping and keeps its pages sticky and shut tight.
Randy doesn’t understand this and the place he is stuck in but all he does know is he can’t get help anymore and he can’t even get to see what is going on in his home right now, though he assumes that it’s now slowly turning into a chaotic wasteland thanks to the sorcerer. All he can do now is cry and cry, mumbling to himself and getting mad at himself for losing so easily like that, probably even developing self hatred in the process.
There is actually some continuation i made for this with a good ending, where Randy somehow is able to fix the Nomicon, get out of the endless white void, get revived, reunite with Howard along with many others and finally defeat the sorcerer once and for all. Though that one never got finished and from what I remember, it’s not really canon and not a true ending to this au so….oops.
——————
But yeah, these are my Randy Au’s. There is kinda a few more but not really.

the way i think about my stories can be so annoying bc there will be a point when i reach a certain story beat after which i dont know how to continue, and the way i do find are usually ... not good .. or i imagine it is not so i think man i cant do that thats so dumb and annoying i gotta think of something better, but then i cant come up with anything better bc once i got a solution to soemthign i cant think of anything smarter- and then i get bored of it as a whole bc man, this really was stupid from the start wasnt it
(this is all some stupid rambling and does NOT represent anythign that will happen in destiny, i swear the actual story with a proper end makes much more sense)
listen to me rambling but this morning i thought about the essentialyl non-canon good "ending" of destiny, a kind of self indulgent dumb lil alternative where everyone lives blah blah, but then of course it cant just end there, bc the end goal of the both of them is to find out the gods plan and secrets and also kill the gods, as you do, then i got a certain point that i found cool (which initially came from the whole thoguht of what if zelda game but you could play demise and it took place after the alternative ending in which the goal is to get rid of the gods) where the fight one of the gods but are kinda losing and as the god is trying to devour demise, as gods do, he abandons his body and his spirit/core, who cant exist without his body so hes still connected through the spirits tail , and climbs through the gods interdimensional weird 'mouth' while its trying to rip him apart to reach the core of the god in a last attempt to take them down with him, while hylia is fighting to keep the god from severing the thin connection he still has to his body but fails just as he reaches the core so the god is killed but his core is immediatelly starting to dissolve and hylia manages to grab his core and put it back into his body and flee from whatever is happeing to that dead god back into hyrule
he survives but is incredibly weak as his spirit has lost half of itself (blade spirits are also forged throguh sacrificing part of their spirit/core permantently but this is besides the point, none of this makes sense anyway), something he obviously hates but cant do anything about really, once a part of their core is gone its gone (not like lost energy but gone gone) but the core is also slowly dissolving further which is a death sentence with no way to act against- then theres a whole quest to .. well, stop that, while hes falling back into self hatred and fear bc hes now so weak that hylia can break his bones without any effort if she were to treat him in any way similar to before and to a deity that all their life was never so fragile, one whos most defining feature IS his power and strength to keep going no matter what, thats gotta be pretty existentially dreadful (and also its a set back to know that they cant just go fight the gods together like that, theres still two more and he cant fight like that)
then i wondered ok what if then, even if the time doesnt quite line up but at this point the entire prophecy cant be done anymore either so everythings out of order, the cloud barrier weakens and zelda is abducted (not by ghirahim) and link goes and tries to find her, but since everythigns not as it should have been he meets hylia and demise (disguised tho) and they immediately know who he is and then go along and try to help link find his friend (hylia does it bc she got the idea to make him find the triforce and wish demises spirit to be restored, since only a mortal can do that and links the most likely candidate to be able to go through the trials of it since he was supposed to already, even if the circumstances are different- demise goes along with it bc hes still trying to deal with essentially slowly dying and not knowing what to do with himself since hes afraid to get into fights or similar, much to his disdain, so hes acting like a companion of sorts, a mentor figure in a way, not knowing what hylias plan is)
i found the idea kinda interesting to have them be like a lil group that goes on links adventured with him, but with strangely intricate knowledge of how the dungeons work, link still doing the heavy lifting but them being there like parents cheering on their kid in a competetion, all the while putting the whole puzzle and dungeon aspect in a way different light bc half of them were never completed (they wanted to escape the prophecy after all) so they all work completely differently, some bosses being maybe some of the gods creatures instead (like the skysw guardians)- the mid journey point being that they find zelda, and who kidnapped her, it being one of the shiekah having most closely worked with hylia before the whole -break the prophecy- thing started (idk if it would be impa .. idea is neat) and is hellbent on making the gods plan work out like it was supposed to, kinda like the inverse of the games plot, so they got ahold of zelda as part of making her into the new hylia (despite hylia being .. right there, but they dont believe it is her truly since the true tm hylia would never betray the gods- ALSO a paralel to how the downfall of demises world worked bc his mortals turned on him after he started destroying their version of the triforce in the belief destroying it would be the only way to save mortals from going to war agaisnt each other for it over and over, mortals believing that their true deity was gone and replaced by a demon despite demise being ..right there)
after link wins the fight and frees zelda from them they in a kind of last effort to do anything against their group they stab demise, normally that wouldnt do shit against him but in his already fading away situation it basically puts him from very slowly dying to actually dying, as a reaction to it hylia kills the mortal (maybe impa idk), which is the first time she does anything like that to a mortal but i like the idea of her being actually super ruthless when it comes to things she cares about
now with a much more dire time limit hylia sends demise back to essentialyl go hide in her temple and try to not die and to trust her having a plan to make this all still work out- he does and once he is away she reveals pretyt much the entire story around why and what is happenign to link and zelda, hylia herself cant go above the clouds as the barrier is still partially up and she cant do anything to reach the triforce either - so she sends link and zelda to go do that, and it works out in the end bc even knowing the truth know, demise was with them on half of their journey so they know and care, he WILL be mad about them wasting their wish on him (even if he is still happy to be alive- i imagined scene where hes watching himself fall apart and die, alone in hylias temple, having to come to terms with the fact that after everything they had went through hed still die alone- it made me cry while thinking about it, yes, yes you are allowed to laugh)
i didnt get that much further but his spirit was essentially reset to when he was in his prime back in the day through the triforces power- something he both likes and despises, it being the gods power of all things that lets him live again, but also lol to use it agaisnt them by giving another chance to the gods greatest enemy- the next plan is of course to kill the next one of the gods but much better prepared, as they cant just go and do the same thign again (neither wants that), one idea was that hylia goes on a secret quest to try and bring back courage (the third deity that demise killed when his world was still thriving) but it involves diving back into the realm of the gods so she doesnt tell him at first, i do think theyd go together in the end, not to fight but to release courage; the whole thing is also an elaborate revenge plot of hylia, how dare the gods do that to him!!
anyway thats most of what i got from that thinking session but its so frustrating bc none of this is even in the actual comic (since it ends in a way that leads into canon skysw, this is some brain fart nooo i want blorbo to live and succeed!!) and its also convoluted and kinda dumb, the idea to inverse the games plot in a way (instead of it being ghirahim trying to bring demise back its someones plan to make the gods prophecy happen no matter what) is neat but i cant have demise almost dying be the thing THREE TIMES, it kinda undercuts his character and is way too much centered around him, all three times also more or less involving it needing help from others to get him back, when his whole thing should be being unkillable bc he jsut keeps refusing to die, also hylia is, as of now in this spaghetti derailment of random thoughts, way too much of a side character, which i dont like, and it all would make people not like demise when im trying to do the exact opposite of that in the main actual comic
i know being super self indulgent and jsut doing what you want is good for the most part but theres a point where it becomes stale cringy fantasies about my blorbo tm and i wanna write at least decent stories- in the end none of this matters anyway as the actual REAL story of destiny is already pretty long and i got no plan to write that alternative 'good ending' anyway and i mostly just thought about it bc "i dont want blorbo to die :(" and "wouldnt it be fun if the entire plot of the game would get messed up and now demise link hylia and zelda etc can all just drink tea together and make plans to get rid of the gods that wanted them all to suffer needlessly"
i probably shouldnt post this as it was really only a vent to get out dumb thoughts from my brain before they poison me into losing interest of the biggest comic project i have worked on so far but i am unable to keep these things to myself so
if you read all of this, im sorry (´。_。`)

can we talk about how much of a genuine coward spy is when it came to scouts death in the comics? He couldnt bring himself to tell scout the truth, so he "had someone else" do it for him by disguising as tom jones and THEN telling scout.
Sure, maybe he doesnt want Scout to jate him, but still. The rest of the team knows. He probably had to BRIBE them to keep their yaps shut.
Which got me thinkin of a little story. The guilt of both leaving scout and failing to admit the truth to scout is eating spy from the inside out, yet hes been trained and taught not to feel any emotions outwardly, so he doesnt express anything towards it.
But here's the catch: his body is literally being eaten alive inside by the "guilt". AKA, it's just failing on him.
It starts small, with the occassional smoker's cough, until blood starts to come up with the coughing. Its not mucj at first, just some specks, but it gets more intense as time continues until hes coughing out nothing but blood.
medics unable to identify whats wrong. Spy doesnt know what to do. he doesnt know why its happening. he has to get off the battlefield because its gotten so bad.
his teammates are concerned. spy brushes their concern off, saying that he'll be alright in a few days or so.
he was wrong. a few days later hes practically DYING. medic tells him that je cant do anything for spy, and that even if he brings spy back, itll just keep happening. spy finally asks medic to do him a final favour: Tell Scout the truth once spy's dead. Tell everyone to act like they hadn't known, so it seems like scout wasnt left in the dark about it. Medic agrees, sad that it had come to this and feeling like a bad doctor for letting his teammate down. Medic brings the news to everyone but scout and relays spys final request to them. They agree to pretend they hadnt known, including miss pauling, since she was there.
Spy dies a couple days later. Medic tells everyone at breakfast time that spy had passed overnight. Everyones saddened and stunned. Medic then relays spy's request to tell the truth.
Scout's devasted. Absolutely crushed. He wasnt a fan of spy, sure, but now knowing that spy was his dad, he doesnt know what to feel.
The mercs hold a makeshift funeral for spy, and scout doesnt attend. he cant bring himself to. He's upset, both bevause he wasnt told and because he'd never get to make up lost time with his father.
Anon you're killing me.
Uh, this was so good!
But dare I say on the Spy being a coward part, I actually look at that scene as Spy realizing that telling Scout now, while he's dying, won't provide him any comfort, it'll just make his death about Spy in a sence. So he turns into Tom Jones, knowing that's the thing that will provide Scout with the most comfort in his final moments. He also knows that his true feelings about Scout will mean more from Tom Jones than Spy. I mean, if you look at how happy Scout looks at being told that, Spy knows that if he would have been the one to say it, he would have killed the peaceful death that Scout deserved. (But I saw a theory once that claims that Scout knew that Spy was Tom Jones in this situation, and he just played along)
Also! I honestly don't think the other mercs would have to be bribed not to talk about it. They just wouldn't say anything, knowing that its a moment Spy and Scout need to share. That's why when Scout was dying Sniper only said
"Mate." And nothing more. He knew, and I highly doubt Sniper was taking money from Spy to keep keep secret hidden.
But anyway! This was really good. Thank you for sending this Anon!

Near Death Experiences
Tumblr media
It's Dottore's turn to get a few heart attacks because Pantalone gets hurt more often than he reasonably should, in all honesty. Poisons, assassination attempts- hell, Pantalone almost broke a hip falling down a small set of stairs because he was distracted by his quarterly reports.
Logically, Dottore should be the one who ends up hurt the most in this case, mostly because his job is more dangerous and definitely can get you killed if you don't know what you're doing. Pantalone quite literally sits for hours at a time and occasionally makes trips out and about to settle business. The difference is huge, and Dottore has gotten burned, shocked, and cut so many times that he has a godly pain tolerance (or really doesn't feel anything at all because of the physical modifications he's given himself).
Pantalone does not have this pain tolerance, but he's also very good at ignoring his body's warning signs. Especially when it gets in the way of his work.
Hence I raise you: Pantalone gets hurt- not just a flesh wound, but also a newly created poison that Dottore himself had derived, somehow spreading into the hands of a foreign dignitary.
It was a simple meeting. Things seemed to be going excellent, up until the point Pantalone turned his back to leave.
A Harbinger should never turn their back on anyone. It's a common rule, that one. Don't show your back to the enemy unless you want a knife lodged in it.
And a knife indeed get stabbed into his shoulder from behind, just off from the actual target of his neck. Pantalone was quite lucky it wasn't his spine or something worse. After getting stabbed in the back, he makes quick work of this backstabbing bastard, and orders for the body to be shipped back from whence it came as a reminder on why people don't back stab the Regrator.
The journey back to the palace is easy. Pantalone is a master of disguising his pain, not to mention that he very clearly states that he's fine, it's a mere flesh wound. It hurts, sure, but he can wait until later to handle it. There's more urgent business to attend to, and making a fuss over a small wound will only hinder his progress. Though his vision starts to swim a little by the time he gets back to the Piazza, and he feels somewhat lightheaded. No matter, he's probably dehydrated, and that wine he was given is definitely not helping his case.
He gets back to his room and only stops to ride out the waves of pain that have intensified in his shoulder once. By the time he shuts the door, he feels even worse, but having half a bottle of fine wine would help ease it, no?
Crash!
The bottle somehow manages to slip from his hands and explode across the ground. There's glass everywhere. His head hurts. It feels like someone's stabbing him behind the eyes, and there's little white lights scattered across his vision.
Then overwhelming pain explodes across his body, much like the glass bottle shattering against the ground.
He doesn't even know he passed out until he wakes up in a pile of glass some time later, confused and dazed. He manages to get up, but his body feels too hot, like he's in the middle of a furnace- Impossible, this is the Tsaritsa's palace, it's never warm- and his body is practically throbbing as small and large cuts alike as he drags himself to the bedroom, collapsing into the bed and blacking out.
The next time he wakes up, there's voices. Some say that he's dead, a finger poking his face- he just wants to sleep, it hurts so much. His face is hot, his chest feels too tight to be normal, and he feels sick. His whole body feels like it's being stabbed by tiny needles, shaking violently as he opens one eye, only to behold... Dottore?
Who looks absolutely furious, which is kind of hot but also terrifying. His pain-addled brain liked the view of Dottore's chest very much, mind you. Very plush, shields against pain. 10 out of 10.
"What the fuck happened to you?"
"...go' stabbed. Was fun."
"You got fucking stabbed and didn't say anything?!"
"N'pe. Too busy..."
Dottore looks like he's going to strange Pantalone right then and there. "Well, darling, it looks like you have an almost deadly fever, a stab wound, several puncture wounds, and your blood pressure is very low. You know what that means?"
"No."
"You're coming with me."
Pantalone is terrified, but also... being taken away sounds very nice right now. His arm hurts, and Dottore always makes things better. Ish. It's up for debate, but Pantalone is too tired and shaking too hard to care.
The fever starts to win, after a while. To the point that Pantalone is no longer conscious, his face is completely red and shining with sweat. It's dangerous, but Dottore is no stranger to feverish and idiotic Harbingers, it's half his job description by now. A simple IV and getting the fever down will do the trick, what he's more worried about is the combination of the fever and the wound itself.
Uncovering it reveals a lot more than he cares to know.
A quick blood test reveals too much, in all honestly. Dottore should've known, he'd found a rat within his segments not all that long ago. Someone has been selling his unfinished formulas, and now the consequences are appearing in the Regrator's body. Just amazing, now he has to clean up this mess and make sure Pantalone doesn't die like the idiot he is.
Dottore's fainting couch gets more use than usual, and it's not the most comfortable surface, but it's better than the operating table. A quick prick of a needle and a bucket of ice water painstakingly gathered by one of his younger segments, he gets to work on bandaging up the gaping hole in the Regrator's back, an antidote, and slapping cold wet washcloths onto the Regrator's forehead every once and a while, just to make sure that he's still alive. Bandaging up the hole and making sure it doesn't get infected is the easy part. The hard part is stopping the effects of the poison, as Pantalone has already lost a lot of blood and his body is running on its last resorts.
Dottore has never worked so fast in his life. Taking his formulas, shifting them to meet the effects of the poison (which is really just an off the rails drug at this point), testing them on himself and feeling nothing but a cold empty void in his chest with a side of crippling loneliness, then eventually coaxing it into Pantalone's mouth after three hours of nonstop study and laboring.
The rest of the night is without major consequence, until Pantalone wakes up sometime shortly before dawn, delirious and crying quietly.
"Hurts..."
"I know, darling. It'll be over soon. I promise."
"M'kay."
"Do you need anything?"
The Regrator doesn't remember, but he demanded to be held in Dottore's arms for a little while, resting his head on the Doctor's shoulder before nodding off, comforted by the familiar presence.
Dottore will never confess to blaming himself either, as it was his fault that the unfinished product ever fell into the hands of the enemies to the Tsaritsa in the first place. And to have it used on the one person it actually hurts to see suffer.
After a few days of being fussed over by the Doctor and his army of segments wanting attention and attending to Pantalone's every need, the Regrator is back on his feet, as cunning as ever.
Though now he has a scar along his shoulder that will always show his stupidity (according to Dottore).

ive totally not been stalking your blog and noticed you have some actually good nezha angst content! which like nobody has ;-;
im sorry if you have already done this, but drop your angsty nezha hc's here? basically any angsty hc's for him you want ig
LOL THANKS, i actually haven't done that yet, just sprinkle ideas here ad there for people to read.
alright *cracks knuckles* angsty Nezha hc's here we go. buckle up cause theres gonna be ALOT.
TW--- mentions of child abuse, self-harm, suicide and violence. if u know Nezha's mythology then you know what im talking about. even if you dont Be cautious reading this i will highlight the suicide andself harm stuff in red. the child abuse is all the first half of this post
most of the first part is based off of Nezha's mythology in investiture the gods, some are creative liberties.
Nezha is literally a neurodivergent kid who has been told to stop doing the things he does bc there're 'annoying', 'rude', or 'weird'. which... their not. he just does things differently because he's neurodivergent.
no one was ever nice about telling him to do things differently. or...'normally'. he was always told off in a negative sense. it was straight-up child abuse.
of course back then it wasnt seen as child abuse much, since neurodivergancy wasnt a thing they knew about nezha was just a troublesome child, a burden. and in nezhas eyes no matter how much he tried, no matter what he did he was never enough. he was convinced that he was a mistake and a dissapointment. born with so much potential only to be thwarted by his "troublesome nature"
this "troublesome nature" was just normal neurodivergent things. normal kid things. but no one ever considered that, the only one that did was his mom. she was nicer then the rest of his family. not the greatest of course but compared to the others she understood that he was a child.
i heard its implied somewhere his father wouldnt let him out of the house for the first seven years of his life. Nezha had to sneak out and his mother would call him back inside whenever his father came back home.
one day while outside he met a man with orange hair, bright like the sun in the sky. A man with kind eyes a soft voice. the complete opposite of his father. the man stayed in the village for a few days. he kept nezha company and for once. nezha felt...safe.
but he had to leave sooner or later. even so the man promised to come back (it was wukong on his journey for immortality, disguised as a human)
his father was very picky on the way things were done, Nezha sometimes did things differently or hell probably forgot often. because ynow....hes a kid. but often that wasnt enough. there were times his father was angry, very angry. and instead of being a fucking adult about it he let it out onto Nezhas shortcomings. screaming fits, throwing things. and Nezha had to stand still, 'take it like a man' despite being a literal child. until his father was done poking and prodding at every little 'flaw' Nezha had.
all he wanted was to make his family proud.
then the dragon thing happened.
he just wanted to play with his friends.
he just wanted to protect his friends.
he just wanted to be a kid
he just wanted to do the right thing.
in a last-ditch effort to keep any blame off of his family, to keep his village safe from the dragon's wrath he took a sword at twelve years old and killed himself. offering his dead body as compensation.
he was 12
he was a child.
the man with orange hair came back and asked about Nezha. he was too late.
when he was reincarnated into a lotus body those scars remained. Scars on his hands from grabbing onto the blade and making his hands bleed. scars on his chest from....yeah, he has one on his left arm, stretching across his upper to lower arm and a shorter one on his right upper arm. both were accidental. and one on his neck.
the ones on his neck and chest were not accidental.
im not going into detail but....yeah.
His lotus body...its not exactly fit for him.
his powers i mean.
its too much.
remember how bai he's body started to crack and break due to being too weak for lbd's powers.
okay think of that but nezha in his god form.
if he uses that form for too long his body will crack until it finnaly shatters and nothing is left but a single lotus flower.
thats Nezha.
he's regenerating.
to keep this from happening too often he uses alot of weapons.
no one in heaven knows of this weakness.
Nezha began working in heaven after the whole.....trying to kill his father thing.
Context: his father destroyed a temple nezha's mother had built for nezhas soul to rest in so when nezha was reincarnated he wanted revenge.
anyways
Nezha did not have a good time working in heaven. he was 12 and...well lets just say the lotus body didnt exactly look. godlike. so over the course of a few years he use glamor and transformation magic to change his appearance. to not only look more godlike but older as well. that way people would respect him. no one would consdescend him. no one would have a reason to yell at him or poke and prod at his weaknesses.
his body doesnt grow. he's stuck the same way he was when he died.
its not a bad thing.
its really not.
he can be the child he was never allowed to be.
but he doesn't let himself be that.
he works and he works and he works.
desperate to earn respect.
desperate for people to no longer look down on him.
so he pretends to be an adult.
on one hand theres nothing really wrong with his older form, its the reason he has it thats the problem.
he stays in his older form most of the time bc...well come on. being a kid isnt always great.
despite the fact that he doesnt grow he is mature.
thousands of years of living will do that.
hes still a kid but he has many years of experience.
so being in his older form isnt a bad thing, it helps him do things that would be harder in his normal form.
like reaching tall places.
(even though he is mature due to years of experience and transforms to look older my nezha is still a child please respect this)
or fighting.
anyways
he was there when swk was punished. he didnt like any of it. at first he thought swk was just a troublesome demon but then...then he started seeing what was really going on.
it reminded him too much of his own experience.
he didnt like any of it. and when the burning of ffm happened he only pretended to join the fight. he even managed to face swk for a moment.
only for them to finally recognize each other. Swk knew this was the child from a home of thunder and lightning. Nezha knew this was the man of the sun with kind eyes.
Nezha was injured and swk told him to run and where to hide for the time being.
after it was all over...Nezha was forced to watch as swk...the only man to ever show him true kindness. the only man he feels safe around...was tortured by heaven.
he hated every second of it and to this day it haunts his nightmares. all of it. ffm. the torture, the furnace. for the following 500 years he was under the mountain Nezha had nightmares about swk blaming him for not freeing him.
worst 500 years of his life.
so much guilt.
and he already has so much on his shoulders that he is still learning how to handle.
after the journey they met up again. Nezha could barely stand to talk to him. the guilt clawing at his throat and thumping in his chest.
swk seemed cheery as ever though.
nezha invited him to tea at his home.
he moved out of his families place bc "hes an adult"
he just needed to get away from his father.
swk accepted.
it was nice for a moment. just a little bit.
then swk mentioned the elephant in the room.
he saw nezha and how horrified he looked during...that.
he wanted to ask nezha if he's okay.
for a moment nezha was silent. couldnt bear to meet his eyes.
then all the glamors and transformations fell.
every wall he'd built and fortified over the past thousand years crumbled and for once he finally let himself cry.
like a child.
swk dropped whatever he was holding (poor teacup) and immediately held the poor suffering child in front of him.
dad
Swk is dad
that day Nezha spent the rest of the afternoon letting out everything he had been holding inside. so much for someone so young.
that was the day swk adopted nezha.
nezha didnt know he was adopted swk just started showing up to his temple more often.
when swk told nezha, nezha laughed thinking it was a joke, then he got a little angry. nezha thinks he can take care of himself. he can...but he's not exactly very good at self care. swk told him he doesnt wanna coddle nezha. just... be there when he really needs it. be that person that nezha can run to when everything becomes too much.
nezha cried again.
so. yeah.
thats nezha.
he hides who he truly is from celestial eyes. working endlessly to become the perfect image of a celestial god. doing everything he can to seem perfect and untouchable. strong and unbreakable.
Swk has a room in every home he owns thats set up for Nezha to rest in whenever he needs.
Nezha and swk's dynamic doesnt exactly change much like in the show. Nezha doesnt exactly like how much Swk acts like a goofball. he's less tolerant of it around other people. then goes to ffm with him ranting about how swk is a king, a high ranking individual with alot of power. he should act more like it.
all, while he's in his true form and sits on swk's shoulders.
all while he and swk sit beside a river and lets swk braid flowers into his hair and then eat fruit on a cliff as the sun sets for dinner.
then nezha falls asleep on swk's side and she carries him home and tucks him into bed.
FFM, is a safe haven for nezha when he needs it.
swk is a safe person. the only person who ever sees his true form.
when nezha was assigned to protect the samadhi fire he felt as if he finally had the respect he's been working towards.
he stopped visiting swk as often bc of his duties.
he still visited just. not as often as before.
even so, they are father and son. nothing can change that
for more info heres some links to other posts where i talk about nezha. its mostly for au's but alot of it is also within my own hc's and not just au's
im picking out the angst ones just for u
general hc's masterpost(wip)
Nezha and his Monkey dad
Fragility
he's not good at self care

Double: Initial Thoughts (Pre-VD)
ok this beat slaps
MY BOY THERE HE IS!!!
i was right this is 90% a Niko song
(longer, more involved theory-crafting under the cut)
I WAS RIGHT he WAS meant to protect mikoto!!! and the fact that he calls himself the "newborn other you" supports my theory that he's new, probably forming either right before or right after the murder.
"I don't even know the reason why I'm here" and "[He's a liar,] you said, and made me out to be a scoundrel, why?" sounds a lot like even Niko doesn't fully remember what happened. Also, I looked into the lyrics (as I do), and I found some interesting bits in that second line. Take this with a grain of salt, I'm not a native Japanese speaker, but I did my best to look at resources from fluent speakers (like Japanese dictionaries) to explain nuances.
I find it interesting that they chose to translate 悪者 (warumono) as "scoundrel", rather than something else. Literally, it means "bad guy" (warui = bad, mono = someone/person), and thus could be translated a number of ways. Villain, bad guy, ruffian, rascal, etc. So why scoundrel? Is it another case of strange translation, or does it mean something about Niko?
Also....considering how clear the first MV was with 1) WHERE the murder happened, as well as 2) the Kotos whacking an Actual Human Person, I strongly doubt that the implied Subway Rampage happened here. In fact, the entire thing feels like it's happening while Mikoto is having a mental breakdown and lashing out. None of it feels real, not like MeMe did (at least, the parts taking place outside Mikoto's brain).
I think Mikoto is (or at least was) suffering from the culture of overwork that's common in Japan: karoshi, or "death from overworking". Obviously he's not dead, but he definitely wasn't looking so hot in that MV. Eyebags, dark circles, exhausted posture, and bedraggled appearance were just a few things I picked up on my first run-through. His clothes, while fashionable, are loose, baggy, and cover his body completely. For someone like Mikoto, who's so meticulous about how he appears to others, to purposely dress like this? It contrasts so much with his flashy hair and piercings that one has to wonder why?
It's a ruse. Just like how peacocks have false eyes on their tails to deter predators, I think Mikoto's flashiness is meant to draw attention away from everything else. Any inconsistencies can be explained away with a makeup mishap (because you can't tell me this man doesn't wear foundation and concealer at a minimum), and having stylish clothes distracts from how otherwise baggy they are. Baggy clothes in themselves are a smokescreen, too. They hide your physical form, making it so it's harder to tell the true build of someone underneath.
Kotoko uses this to disguise herself in Harrow, which leads to the police looking for a bulky, middle-aged man instead of a 20 year old female college dropout. Mikoto uses his clothes differently, meant to distract from anything "concerning" about him that can't be brushed away with a laugh or a smile. I think he's trying to hide being too thin or malnourished, since stress and overwork can lead to fatigue, poor nutrition, and a host of skin problems. Hiding that behind baggy clothes and a layer of makeup means his ditz mask works better, and anyone sharp enough to look past it....well. I'm not actually sure he's met anyone like that, if his phone call with his mother was any indication.
The point is, I'm worried about him. I think his murder was a result of a mental breakdown but not, as I thought earlier, from anger, but from stress. Stress from overwork that led him to the point of death, and it was just bad luck that meant it was someone else's rather than his own.
Again, this is all just a theory, and I haven't listened to the VD yet. But I will say this; I've been there, and while I haven't killed anyone over it there were times I got damn close. I may not agree with him, but I understand, especially if he has nobody who knows the Real Him. I was lucky enough to be able to vent to my friends about my job and school before my stress breakdown consumed me, but I don't think he has anyone like that.
Godspeed, Mikoto. Lord knows you need it.

Hi Glassprism,
I just listened to the Trieste July 4 audio…To my surprise, why did the Phantom disguised Don Juan behind the curtain part now sing by the actor of Piangi instead of the Phantom? As the voice singing “You have come here in pursuit of…you’ve decided…decided” sounds definitely NOT Karimloo?? To me, Ramin started to sing from “Past the point of no return…no backward glances…”
I remembered in the past, all these lines belong to the phantom not Piangi? Or the POTO production changed through recent years which I wasn’ aware of ? Rushing to your ask box to look for answers. Thank you.
Hello!
In the replica production, yes, once Don Juan emerges from behind the curtain, all his lines belong to the Phantom, not Piangi, and that has not changed over the years. However, the Italian production is a non-replica, so as long as they stick to the general score, lyrics, and story, they can pretty much do whatever they want with the actual blocking. In this case, they had "Piangi" (or is it? more on that later) begin the song before switching into the Phantom's voice. This seems to have been tweaked a little during the production's run - in the audio I have from opening night, the switch from Piangi to the Phantom is quite abrupt, but in a later audio, it's more of a slow merge, with it clearly being Piangi at one point, then the Phantom putting on a fairly heavy Italian accent and tone similar to Piangi's, and then just the Phantom with a lighter accent by the end.
It's worth noting that this is not a new idea, really. Even in the replicas, as far back as Michael Crawford, the original Phantom himself, we often hear the Phantom disguising his voice by singing with Piangi's accent. The "merging" of the voices also occurs in 'Notes I' and 'Notes II', where Madame Giry reading the notes slowly segues into the Phantom's voiceover, though it's clear the latter is a stage conceit or a dramatic effect, not something actually happening (hopefully, maybe).
Now what does the Piangi voice mean? Honestly, I think it's up to you, and a lot of it hinges on exactly how the scene is staged (which I don't know much of, except through clips and reviews). One theory is that it's another dramatic effect or "Rule of Cool", a merging of the voices because it's just neat to hear. It's something for the audience to appreciate, just like the Phantom's note-reading voiceovers, but not necessarily something "actually" happening. Alternatively, it showcases the Phantom's skill at mimicking voices, or even more interestingly, his hypnotic effect - perhaps the fact that we hear Piangi's voice instead of the Phantom's at first is because the Phantom is weaving his spell over us, lulling us into thinking Piangi is the one there and everything's fine, just fine! His Phantom-y voice becoming clearer could be us - or Christine - starting to shake off the spell or even the Phantom breaking down as the sensuality of the scene gets to him. (Though according to reviews, it seems Christine doesn't notice, so that's a dent in that.)
Yet another theory is that maybe this implies that Piangi dies later; this works better in the earlier performances where the voice switch is more abrupt, but maybe Piangi was okay and just starting to sing his lines but then the Phantom killed him. The big hole in this theory is that Don Juan has already emerged, so no switcharoo or murdering can be done at this point. Or heck: maybe Piangi is in cahoots with the Phantom. They're working together! He's hiding under that giant coat! Oh, you saw his dead body? Psych, he's faking it! After this he's going to run off with Carlotta to an opera house where they can both get the acclaim they deserve.
Anyway, hope that explains at least the voice-switching part, while the why and how of it happening is, I think, up to interpretation!

So I've had this AU for TTL floating around in my head since pretty much the beginning that's basically a "what would happen if Janus was just a little too slow in escaping and was grabbed by the Prince Pride of the Unseelie". It's a total shit show and it's on my mind so I want to talk about it.
Basically, Janus manages to get Virgil out safely but can't save himself. He gets horrifically tortured by the somewhat rogue unseelie princes. Virgil can't save Janus but he somehow uses the claim and idk some other magic (the spirit species might be involved) to project a sort of ghostly version of himself to keep Janus company through it all so that he's not alone. Janus is, eventually, killed.
The unseelie deliver his mutilated body to his family. They don't take it well. King Thomas doesn't start a war over it for the sake of his people but naturally, nothing will ever be the same. What Thomas does do is gift more magic to each of his remaining sons and Remy so that they're more powerful and it's less likely for history to repeat itself.
Here's the twist: What if Janus is resurrected centuries later? He'd come back to find:
All of his siblings drastically changed because of his death
Thomas is dead
Roman is king
Roman started a war against humans to avenge Janus (but not the unseelie because he knows he won't win that war which is bullshit)
Roman got married only for his husband and Remy to team up and run away because the new Roman became abusive and a cheater
Remus has become ostracized from the rest of the family
Without Janus there to help him and without the rest of the family supporting him Remus lost his mind and became hellbent on killing as many humans as he could because it's the only vengeance he can get
The seelie are hunting Virgil because he was last seen with Janus and they wildly misunderstood the situation
Virgil has been hiding out in an uninhabited section of the fae realm and has been taking good care of himself because Janus believed he was worth saving
Remy and Virgil know each other and have bonded over their love for Janus and them both being part drider
Remy has been disguising himself as human and is hiding on Earth working in a rehabilitation center for victims of fae particularly humans who were unwillingly claimed and then freed
Remy and Remus teamed up to manipulate the humans into helping them resurrect Janus because they miss him but also because they know he's the only one who has a chance of actually fixing everything
Is anyone interested in this? Does anyone want to ask questions or give me a reason to ramble because this AU lives in my head rent free and it's on my mind right now. I've been listening to my playlist for it.

Random headcanons about the Rise!Turtle Bros that just make sense (at least to me)
Tumblr media
Raph and Donnie are dog people (with different tastes in dogs), Mikey is a cat person, and Leo is 50/50 and doesn't care as long as they're cute and don't try to bite/claw at him.
April taught the boys how to play hand-clapping games she learned from her parents. The most common one they played was Slide and they still play when they get bored. Usually, it's Leo and Mikey but sometimes they get too intense and have way too long of a game.
When Raph hit his growth spurt and they started going above in disguises without Splinter, he got called the other boys' dad so many times in the beginning. His brothers had a field day and couldn't stop laughing when they found out. It stopped happening as much as everyone grew taller but still happens a bit when he's just with Mikey.
Raph has a habit of always fidgeting with his hands and doing repetitive hand movements. Most common ones are him softly tapping the tips of his knuckles together to a beat and rubbing one of his fingers between the ones on the other hand, usually in thought.
Raph crunches on ice a lot, which isn't as bad for his teeth since he's not a human. He initially started eating ice because he was testing out his jaw strength when he was younger with Donnie but now it's his go-to if his anxiety gets too much since the cold grounds him.
Leo and Donnie are actually a couple days apart but, after learning they were still technically the same age, Leo dubbed them as twins. They started celebrating their "joint" birthdays on the day in between.
Speaking of which, you can pry Leo being the older twin out of my cold dead hands. /lh But yeah speaking from 2nd oldest/middle child experience he radiates older middle child energy way more than younger middle child energy. In this essay-
Leo tends to pace a lot. He does it when he's thinking hard, when he has too much energy, when he's part of a conversation, etc. His body just likes to move and you can see him constantly shuffle on his feet when he tries to keep still.
Donnie used to use the most random things to help shape his eyebrows. Common one was a ruler cuz it also helped make sure they were exactly even. He can freehand it now and it looks more natural but he has given Splinter a heart attack when one time he caught him using a knife for help. It was dull and plastic but still.
Donnie has a customized rubber duck in his lab that looks like a mini him that he talks to and uses as a stress ball when he hits a roadblock to inventing or coding something. Mikey helped paint it and proceeded to make ones for everyone else.
Mikey is said to be a ballet dancer in Lair Games so I wanna say that he learned a lot of ballet via watching Youtube videos. It leads him to watch more dance videos of different types of dance and the most physically flexible in the family. It's also noticeable in the way he fights as well.
Mikey has some form of color-related associative synesthesia. He actually "sees"/associates his brothers as different colors than what we're used to. He usually thinks of Raph as dark sea green, Leo as canary yellow, and Donnie as mahogany red. Orange is pretty close to what he sees himself as but leaning more on the peach side. Has drawn a what-if photo of all of them if they were color-coordinated via Mikey standards.

OK Angsty idea
When the TFP Autobots manage to visit YFA they're all surprised that Elita-1 is still alive, as in TFP she died. Like imagine TFA Optimus hearing that
Ooo, this is a fun one.
Now in Aligned, we only know a little bit about Elita. The Covenant of Primus reveals that she was part of Cybertron's council and helped overthrow the ruling Quintessons, bringing the planet to its so-called Golden Age. We know about the considered line in Stronger, Faster that was ultimately cut where Ratchet brings up Elita and blames Optimus for her death which leads to Optimus punching him. Though in Robots in Disguise, she's blacklisted from Cybertron for aiding Optimus, so we can assume in canon she's alive somewhere. But, I also hate RID2015, so I can ignore that.
Let's just jump into a timeline where she's dead for this ask.
TFA Optimus isn't a stranger to Elita being dead. For thousands of years, he mourned her and blamed himself for losing her. He had a brutal wake-up call when learning she had become Blackarachnia, which probably made his guilt worse. Because his friend had survived. She survived in a body she hated. A body she hated so much, it pushed her to join the Decepticons, because she knew Cybertron would never accept her now. Yup, definitely made him feel worse.
He's probably thought back to that day so many times, wondering how he could've saved her, or how he could've talked her and Sentinel out of going to the planet. There's a lot of things he'd change about that day if he could.
And then once he meets TFP Optimus, he'll learn that his Elita's gone too. Not gone like his, but gone-gone. She's dead. He wonders how she died, assumes that it happened during their war since that's what would make the most sense. He never asks to be certain of her demise, he doesn't want to bring up old wounds. TFP Optimus will learn about TFA Optimus's Elita too. It's hard not to, considering she plays a bit of a major role in a few events that happened over there. He hates that this younger alternate of himself has already been through so much, but he wants to help him. No one should deal with that kind of grief alone.
It might take a bit to talk about it directly, but they'll still get there. And when they do, it actually helps. They have someone who understands what they're feeling, and they can take comfort in the other.

I’m not not completely sure on which of the seven (tho actually 10 important gods in total) should be alive during the actual plot.
Obv Michaela/owl lady is alive, she’s the one that betrayed everyone. So is Lucifer/crow boi as one of the main secondary characters, Gabriel/as the mc, and Raziel/raven boi as another important side character.
As for the one I’m sure should be dead that would be Chamuel/eagle boi as he was the old ruler before Michaela took over.
Everyone else is 50/50 tho
The remaining undecided ones would be:
Ariel/crane lady - the engineer responsible for the achievement of making the country of Eden into a large floating island and other technological stuff, main power of telekinesis. Haven’t actually developed her background nor a concrete personality yet as not quite sure which one to go with for her, but I think I’d want her to lean more on the nicer and humane side (like Azrael) compared to the rest of the birbs
Raphael/peacock boi - husband of Chamuel and with the main power of controlling diseases (bacterial, viral and fungi) so essentially a doctor disguised as a bioweapon, I feel like going for a personality similar to Hera for him (hence the peacock)
Azrael/vulture boi - younger brother of Michaela and son of Chamuel+Raphael with the main power of healing/repairing tissue, thus also a doctor but primarily known as the mortician that aids with fixing bodies for funerals, going for more of an Ares (asshole exterior and sweetheart inside) with this boi and having his relationship with Michaela be something like Athena and Ares would have
Metatron/ibis boi - essentially want to make him be like Thoth, main power of looking into the events that have happened in the past in a given place, and as well as the ‘memories/experiences’ of an object. Can also enter the mind to look into the past memories of people. However, when he spends time in these memories, his physical body is very vulnerable and unresponsive in this state. Mans the library where every single knowledge the birb bois have obtained is stored
Jophiel/swan lady - main power of knowing whatever it is that someone desires the most and as well as what they want to do/wish for in a given moment, (contrast to Raziel having the power to know a person’s fears) and as another contrast to Raziel, while Raziel runs illegal business but is himself a kind and understanding businessman, Jophiel runs legal businesses but is a lot more cutthroat in her business (and a more cruel/strict person in general)
And yes Raphael and Chamuel adopted Azrael and Michaela, where they found em? Idk yet
(And while I like to call these 10 bois ‘the seven’ even tho 10 not equal 7 is cause: Garbiel and Raziel just aren’t considered part as they treat Gabriel more like an important minor god and don’t acknowledge Raziel cause he deals with ‘underground/illegal/shady’ things. Chumuel isn’t considered part because he’s on a whole different league entirely/they considered him the no. 0 of the seven; also I just really like the number 7)

something about my william
he tried beign a good father, he truly loved his children.
he was also originally hesitent about the children killing. but due to losing his children, he let go of that doubt
and he was also sad when he heard sammy died.
and with charlies death, that was a complete accident, and he was freaking out when her dead body dropped to the ground that he just dropped her in a small corner and fled.
despite being a serial killer and such, deep down, hes a coward, a scared traumatized child.
now note, THIS DOES NOT EXCUSE ANY OF WHAT HES DONE. at first he was doubtful of the plan as well, but through the years he began to lose his mind, lose himself.
cause something about remenant in my au, is that it does make you immortal, but has side efefcts, and the more you have, the worse they become.
and william is filled with a lot of remenant, though nora is filled with the max, which is why shes become so insane, as she wasnt always that insane, but the killing of sammy was still just her.
but with william he wasnt....that fully gone, like he couldnt come back gone.
which is where him being trapped in fnaf world comes from, hes stuck there and has no way of coming back to his home, and he has to accept it, but no one knows him here, and its sort of like a second chance, he also notices that hes...not as insane as he used to be, so maybe, just maybe, he can be a good person?
OOF
Okay SO.
For my William:
He was always a bit murdery. That urge to kill was always there. But he reined it in and tried to be a good person. For a long time.
Then Sammy happened.
And while he had kept it to just one, the urge was stronger now. He mitigated it with his projects. Potential ways of killing that he could get away with. But he never acts on. It doesn't make the urge go away, but it scratches the itch enough.
Then Evan and Elizabeth die. The latter being because of him and his projects and becoming a Ghost.
And with him already kind of looking for an excuse to kill again......
Inbetween the initial five murders and what happens in Silver Eyes, he actually doesn't do much if any murdering. It's actually a bit more looking into Ghosts. Wondering why Elizabeth and the others became Ghosts but Evan didn't. Occasionally popping back into Hurricane under the 'night guard' disguise to check out the old location. (he doesn't stop by his old workshop. People might see him. And he doesn't want to face Elizabeth.).
The events of Silver Eyes happen, and oh boy he can't resist that much potential animatronic-themed murder. But Charlie manages to kill him instead.
Now.
Ghosts in my AU? Have Obsessions. Something that they are, well, obsessed with. So that ramps all of his murderous tendencies up to 11.

Alr it's kinda long tho
So basically, the main four had decided to get jobs at the location that had been made after Fredbears had shut down, the place where the withered animatronics used to just kind of hang out around. However, due to what happened at the last location, children were fucking terrified of the animatronics. So William decided to replace them with actual human entertainers instead in order to ya know—keep his reputation swell. So he decided to kind of force the main 4 into the job. Edd taking Freddy's place, Tom taking Bonnie's place, Matt taking Chicas place, and Tord taking Foxys place.
But eventually, the main 4 sort of got in the way of Williams plans to kill children, as it was very easy to get caught by them since they weren't robots and could easily catch him if they had been observant enough.
The main 4, at different times during his killing spree, had walked in on him either hiding the dead bodies of the dead kids or murdering said kids. And not exactly thinking, William proceeded to literally mutilate them, not really giving a shit if they survived or not. He then threw them all into the "Parts & Service" room and locked them in there, not giving two shits if they'd starve to death in there.
But William, conveniently, happened to be friends with the guy who made spares/clones of them all once in the eddsworld series; so he could easily just clone the four of them and let their vanishing go unnoticed.
These are the "original" main four, whom only survived while stuck in the room due to the room being unlocked at night time, which meant they could get out ad steal food and refreshments from the kitchen. But they couldn't escape, as the place had always been locked during the night.
So—sister location
William made clones of them whom had false memories in the place of their original selves, and made them think that he was basically hiring them for the first time ever. But when he bluntly stated that he was hiring them as a way to lure and kill children, they obviously didn't want to, and tried to fight him—but they had easily been scared into doing the job anyway. So to ensure that they'd kill and capture children like he wanted them to, he performed robotic surgeries on them—and hid said parts he performed surgery on with the clothes he'd conveniently give then. And to ensure they wouldn't rebel like earlier, he gave them electric shock collars, either hidden by their clothes or disguised as a bow.
Tom is in Circus Baby's place, Edd is in Funtime Freddy's place, Tord is in Funtime Foxys place, and Matt is in Balloras place.
But of course—
Edd began to slowly go insane due to the situation he was in, and would exhibit behaviors such as; manic laughing or hyperventilating, lashing out at security guards and often harming them or fucking killing them, and stammering constantly due to the constant shocks he had been given. He could no longer be the leader of the group due to this, so Tom took his place, but Edd quickly became dependant on Tom out of his own fear, and grew practically obsessed with him. He even made a hand-puppet called "Tom-Tom"(the Bon-Bon of this au).
Matt is also punished for trying to help kids by being fed less food than the others, and also because he's supposed to be the athletic one. But the others try to help by giving him their food instead. Matt also desperately wants to know why Edd is acting the way he is, and why he keeps avoiding him.
Edd also frequently hangs out in the breaker room due to always wanting to be alone and by himself(since people barely have to go into said room anyway), and has to be taken out of their forcefully during the day time for his shows. Matt sometimes tries to speak to Edd through the door, though Edd only ignores him.
Oh yeah, and Tord and Tom still hate eachother.
The four eventually grow tired of their treatment, and decide to hatch a plan once they see Michael Afton, the new security guard, walk into the place. Due to them being actual people, Michael interacts with them fairly normally and actually talks to them—which leads to them not being suspected further. And yes, Ennard is still a thing in this au. /lh
Ohhhh this sounds cool
...how tf does Ennard happen-
