So a couple of weeks ago, I established the basic outline for my Samurai Jack AU: Duo of Doom.

Despite it already being so fuckin massive, I still have a lot to still talk about regarding the AU, hence why I am making this post.

The purpose of this post is to outline ALL itty bitty details that I’m working with for the AU, which will collectively be referred to as “headcanons” cause I dunno what else to call them… and they’re canon to the AU anyway, so uh… “headcanons” feel the most appropriate.

MANY of these headcanons came from the genius @tigerarainbowra-blog , mainly the more biologically and physiologically centered ones, so I’m very excited to share some of these with y’all in this post! I’ll mark all of her ideas with an orange • cause she deserves proper credit for some of these bangers!

So, without stalling, let’s get into this!!

Imma split this up into 3 sections: one for Demongo, one for Scara, and then a miscellaneous category where I talk about small ideas I have for a variety of characters.

Before we get right into it, I want to stress that MUCH of Demongo’s personality and abilities will stem from what was established in the Cartoon Network MMO game Fusionfall, which explored and added onto Demongo’s character quite a bit. I will let y’all know when some of these headcanons stem from Fusionfall so it’s clear where exactly I got these ideas from.

Okie dokie! Enough stalling. Let’s dig into this!!

Demongo

• Despite him being pretty well known in the early days of the fandom as the “lava lamp” guy with how bubbly his fiery head was, I like to think he genuinely has a large variety of fire-based powers under his belt. After all, it is a key move he has as a nano in Fusionfall as well as something the real Demongo in game claims he has the ability to do during his “All the World’s a Stage” missions. I believe that while he can be rather flexible with what he can do with his fire-based powers, he sticks to simply using fire itself as an offensive move, such as using fire breath to make himself practically a walking flamethrower. He definitely can just summon fire with the flick of his wrist, but I like to think he enjoys the gigachad move of going dragon-mode JUST so he can seem as tough as possible.

• Speaking of him using fire moves offensively, thanks to a texturing mishap on Demongo’s model in Fusionfall, I got the cute idea of him having the ability to heat up his own fingers and dish out fiery scratches so he can look cool as shit. Additionally, he can use this ability just to make himself look a lil more stylish. Yeah, that’s right. Those blue “painted nails” in his later DOD designs? That’s just bro using his powers to make em LOOK like painted nails. They don’t feel all that hot on the surface, so anyone else can touch them just fine without getting burned… assuming Demmy doesn’t wanna burn you. It’s really up to him if he just wants to give you third degree burns.

• I keep mentioning how Demmy really enjoys looking cool, and that is because this version of Demongo is veeeeeeeeeeery insecure about his actual strength. This is hinted at a bit in his debut episode, but I took this concept and ran with it for the AU. As the story goes on, he relies less and less on his stolen souls as he starts using more of his powers that he naturally has (which is mainly just his fire powers). While he goes around acting like he’s the shit, he doesn’t have the best self esteem, making him very hesitant and scared to be vulnerable in any way. This changes over the course of the story, but for the majority of it all, he struggles to find worth in himself.

• Forcing himself to have such a high view of himself (assuming he doesn’t let himself get vulnerable) is something he believes he has to do, not only just to make it in this world (since I doubt Aku was gonna keep letting someone who is openly insecure stay in the higher ranks), but also due to how they correlate with his powers. Reaching a mentally low point will cause his fire to go out as he goes into his “depowered” form (even if his skulls are still present). In this state, he can’t use any of his abilities. Think of it as his own soul becoming so demotivated that it becomes too weak for Demongo to harness his own abilities. If he lets himself be emotionally vulnerable, he’s gonna be physically vulnerable too, and he just cannot have that.

• Just like a vampire, he steals the souls of his warriors via biting them, preferably when the target is too worn out to fight back. It’s pretty much OVER if bro ever pierces the skin since that initiates some magical bullshit that reconfigures the target’s entire being into nothing but gas, which Demmy can easily consume.

• His physiology is deceptively complicated. This is due to how rare his kind actually is… particularly since he is the ONLY one of his kind (in this AU). His creation is pretty similar to that of a diamond as it required an ample amount of resources that come together in a VERY specific way. Funnily enough, like a diamond, Demongo is almost entirely comprised of pure carbon.

• Being made up of carbon and other light elements, Demongo can destabilize his form to go into what I like to call his gas-mode… which is pretty much what it sounds like. He just turns into a black cloud of smoke that travels in the same way his soul essences do in his debut episode, all snake-like and shit. He can also teleport as seen in his episode, but that’s more of a magical thing than his gas form is.

• The souls he steals are TECHNICALLY physically stored in him as a part of his biology, but these lil “chambers” of his still embody the vast pocket dimension he’s shown to have in his debut episode.

• Despite the souls he collects giving him the strength he has, he CAN eat like any other regular being… well, sort of. He has a stomach, but it more so functions as a burner, burning anything he consumes that can later be redistributed as gases via… well, his fiery fuckin head. However, due to how he’s mostly made of carbon, he had difficulty burning substances that contain elements that are denser than carbon. He can still consume them, but they fuckin SUCK to eat, and he just naturally hates the taste of them. Because of this, Demongo has an INTENSE sweet tooth and actively seeks out sugary treats. This also means bro cannot go vampire mode and consume blood as that shit has SO much iron in it. Bro would find that shit disgusting, not because it’s BLOOD necessarily, but because that shit is PACKED with such a heavy element.

• Demongo’s comfort food of choice is marshmallows, mainly because of how they’re mainly comprised of sugar and not much else. Hell, he’s pretty much a s’mores guy, which is quite fitting considering he’s a walking campfire. If you were to try and be goofy silly by roasting a marshmallow using his fire, he’d just bite the damn thing right off your stick. His fire, his rules.

• Thanks to how simplistic its chemistry is, alcohol is something Demongo (unfortunately) enjoys. Due to how he digests shit via burning anything he consumes, this results in him getting intoxicated VERY quickly. “Lightweight” doesn’t even BEGIN to describe this lil shit. Funnily enough, he also has the tendency to get all floaty and shit when he’s immensely intoxicated. He also gets EXTREMELY giggly. You could say the most dull and boring-ass word in existence and this bitch will almost pass out from laughing. As funny as these experiences can be, Scara tries his best to limit whenever the lil fella can have alcohol… for both their sakes.

• Because Demongo doesn’t have the typical digestive system, his diet technically isn’t LIMITED to the usual human foods and CAN refer to objects as well just as long as they aren’t made of any elements heavier than carbon. Of course, Demongo prefers ACTUAL fuckin food… unless it’s candles, for some reason. I just find it really funny. KAMAKAMAOMSOMOSKDOSKD

• Demongo actually has bones, but they’re mainly to provide stability to his form and keep his basic shape when in his solid form. They’re extremely light to ensure he can easily go into gas mode. He literally cannot break any of his bones thanks to how he can just… reshape it back into place with ease thanks to his ability to warp his physical form and quickly mend himself.

• While he still can get hurt, any physical damage he takes can be easily mended if he has the energy for it. This can take the form of cuts, bruises, blown-off appendages, bites (if that sounds sus, then you already know why I brought it up. I just like the irony it creates, I swear), getting crushed, anything like that. The only thing that can actively keep him down (outside of demoralizing him) would be to not give him time to heal and wear him down little by little or by using one POWERFUL enough attack that’s enough to knock him out, much like how he was originally defeated by Jack with that big explosion.

• The skulls on his torso are not actually the skulls of the warriors he defeats. They are made of the same components as him. I mean, he definitely can’t have thousands of warriors under his control while only realistically having like… dozens of skulls on him. The skulls merely provide a means of imbuing a warrior’s essence into a physical form that can be molded back into the warrior’s original being. They can go gas mode on their own once a warrior is defeated, returning back to Demongo to rejoin the rest of his skulls in its solid form. However, it is possible to take all the skulls off, cutting off all of Demmy’s powers and putting him in his depowered state. They can be reattached afterwards. In a way, they’re like detachable scales (which is funny considering what’s coming up in a little bit). Demmy only ever removes his skulls to sleep better (and to not unknowingly catch anything on fire, of course), if/when he chooses to sleep. The only person that’s seen Demongo willingly detach his skulls is Scaramouche, especially since Demmy is in a very vulnerable state in this form.

• Regardless of whether or not his skills have been detached, Demongo will enter his depowered state once he falls asleep. It helps him preserve energy this way.

• Demongo cannot be easily killed since any form of beheading or dismemberment only results in him having to manifest the missing part of his body, which is merely a minor annoyance to him. However, he’s not invincible. Right in the middle of his chest is his “core,” which is his TRUE “being” in a way. It is essentially his brain and his heart. His core can be vaguely seen whenever he goes into gas mode, if you can look past the smoke and shit. His core NEEDS to stay as scorching as possible. Extinguishing the core (mainly by cooling it to dangerously low temperatures) will result in Demongo’s death.

• Despite being fairly humanoid, Demongo has some lizard-like properties. This is mainly apparent in his ability to smell. Since he doesn’t have an actual nose, he relies on his tongue to sniff out anything of value, which is why he can typically be seen “blepping” from time to time, especially if food is nearby. Additionally, I like to think he specifically takes after the blue tongued skink for… obvious reasons. Here’s a funni lil art piece I made just for this one headcanon LAMWKSMWOSM

• Demongo CAN cry… but his tears aren’t ordinary tears. They’re just straight-up lava. Dealing with a crying Demongo is a lot more dangerous than anyone could ever expect. The only safe way to clean up Demmy’s face would be to use a stone or rock that won’t easily melt from the lava. Scaramouche keeps a couple on hand in season 2, cutely calling them “sponges.”

• Demmy has a lot of control over the temperature of his body (aside from his core). I already mentioned how he can do this with his fingers, but he can also manipulate the temperature of his mouth. This helps him not only utilize his fire breath but also to ensure any kiss doesn’t result in a Flame Princess situation, because nobody wants to be reminded of THAT Adventure Time arc…

• This advanced control over the temperature of his body allows Demmy to manually mend things (like metal) back together, so if Scara takes any damage (mainly minor gashes), Demmy can just… seal that shit back up with ease with nothing but the tip of his finger!

• His “blood” is pretty much just plasma. Yeah. Just blue plasma. It pretty much acts like his blood, having a vein-like structure throughout his solid form and all, but that’s about it. This is the shit that helps Demmy influence the temperature of certain parts of his body, such as the fingers as mentioned earlier.

• Fusionfall claimed that Demongo had the ability to place “charms” on certain objects, and while I still find that ability kinda stupid, I wanted to repurpose it for this AU. I like to think that Demongo has dabbled in magic outside of the kind he already has within him. He does not have much use for this knowledge outside of creating enchanted weaponry, but it at least gives him some insight on how various forms of magic work. As a result, he’s very knowledgeable about the subject.

• While he can speak English just fine, his primary language is Japanese. He rarely ever speaks in it since rarely anyone around him knows the language, but since he was never taught how to write in English, he only knows how to write in the Japanese alphabet. He strives to be better at writing English, sometimes dabbling in French since Scara knows that shit like the back of his hand.

• As much as he may claim to hate them, bro actually loves hearing a good pun, especially if he finds it particularly clever or unexpected. If any of you are familiar with his Nano counterpart’s audio files, you’ll probably know where I’m pulling this info from. OWMWOSMSOSSKSOSK Ah, and he additionally finds anything Scara says to be the funniest shit in the world, regardless of quality. Just a dorky lil fella who is absolutely in love OWNWKWMWOSMDDOXMON

• “Growing up” (for lack of a better term) in the Pit of Hate meant Demongo would not be too familiar with gestures of kindness and such at the start of the AU. While this fact is very apparent in a variety of ways (as seen in the tavern episode in the AU’s first season), this also has resulted in him being unfamiliar with physical gestures of kindness… aka bro’s never been fuckin hugged before. This would result in Demmy (in the earlier episodes of season 1) being surprised by touch, even from something as small as a simple pat on the back or a hand to the shoulder. He doesn’t HATE the sensation. It’s just unfamiliar to him at this point in the story. I’m pretty sure lil guy getting his first friendly hug from Scara was the point where he REALLY felt the effects of being touch starved, and while it’s hard for him to ask for support thanks to his fear of vulnerability during this section of the story, Scara thankfully is happy to oblige.

• As a result, Demmy has grown to really enjoy being held, typically through hugs or even being carried. This can be seen way more during season 2 when Demmy isn’t NEARLY as fearful of being vulnerable and such. Sometimes, he’ll try and act like he’s out of breath or is low on energy just as an excuse for Scara to carry him, but since he does it in such a dramatic and playful way, it’s easy to tell when he’s doing it on purpose. He’ll only ever outright ask to be carried if he feels comfortable enough (since that fear of vulnerability still lingers on, even if it’s not nearly as potent as it was in season 1).

• After he starts learning more and more about modern culture, he starts going by he/they since that shit just feels right to him… well, that and I just like putting a lil bit of my own quirks into the characters I right. OWMQKWMSOSM

• Bro is gay. I’ve already mentioned that before, and there isn’t much else to say about it… I mean, I HAVE thought about referencing the famous Sam and Max line “But Max, you don’t even like girls” with Scara and Demmy before, just to make this lil fact about the lil guy clear, but I dunno how or when I’d even do it KQMQOWMOWKOSSKOJ

• Whenever bro gets flustered or blushes, his face HEATS up… like DRAMATICALLY. DO NOT forget that he’s just a walking campfire. As such, in some rare cases if he’s flustered enough for a prolonged period of time, he’ll start to kinda melt a little bit, just a little bit though.

• He HATES water, mainly cause he kinda dissolves in it, which either results in a much smaller Demongo popping out (excluding the skulls) if he’s able to get out of it on his own or only leaving behind his scorching core. He won’t die, of course, just as long as the core isn’t kept in the water for too long. Complete evaporation of his physical form will result in him taking a while to fully reform, which will leave him in a depowered state until he can properly warm up again.

• He likes wearing Scara’s big-ass coat. It’s comforting, in a way.

• Despite him not being super intelligent, Demmy’s quite knowledgeable about strategizing, finding enjoyment in commanding his own lil legion and carefully planning their every move. That is to say… he’s a fucking chess player, and it boggles his mind how he always loses to Scaramouche in any match they do. He’s determined to beat the big guy at LEAST once.

• There’s always been this lil joke in the fandom calling Demongo a theater kid, and despite THIS Demongo never having stepped foot in an actual theater (prior to meeting Scara), you can just TELL by the way he moves and talks in public that he’s a bit of an actor at heart. He talks loudly, boastfully even, exaggerating his gestures way too passionately, and is just VERY animated in general. Despite his insecurities, he genuinely does love to proudly express himself, which gets a lot easier for him to do as the story goes on.

• Speaking of how he tends to act in public, Demmy is… pretty fuckin mischievous towards others (or at least people he isn’t close to… ie Scara). Even if his target hasn’t done anything to him, he just enjoys playing jokes on people whenever he knows he can get away with it. However, if Demmy DOES decide he wants to be petty towards someone, he’ll go out of his way to make that person’s life MISERABLE while he just shrugs and plays it off like everything he does is just a lil accident. TLDR, if he doesn’t know or like you, he’s GONNA be a little shit towards you.

• As such, Demmy is not the friendliest person to be around. He is a certified ✨people hater✨, and would much rather stick with people he knows and trusts (ie Scara… again).

• Over the countless centuries he has been employed by Aku, Demongo was only summoned under extreme conditions such as when a thorn in Aku’s side was starting to get too much for his regular forces to handle. Thanks to the later advancements in technology throughout Aku’s reign, his army of robots would often handle most jobs Demongo in the past would have been sent to take care of, meaning he would be summoned less and less. This change marked a significant boost in confidence for Demongo since he would only be summoned if a threat arrived that Aku’s robots simply could not handle, meaning Demmy’s work was only reserved for emergency situations. However, this would also give him the impression that robots are nothing but a means to an end, seeing them as not only inferior to him, but also inferior to organic warriors. This all changed when he met and gradually bonded with Scaramouche.

• This change in outlook came about not just because Scaramouche proved himself to be quite capable on his own, but also because Demongo soon realized that everyone was disposable to his old master, including Demmy himself. Realizing he was tossed aside the second he failed Aku for the first time opened Demmy’s eyes when it comes to his own self worth and the worth of others around him, making him appreciate Scara as an individual far more than he ever did before. He wouldn’t let his master’s expectations of others cloud his judgment anymore.

• Chronologically speaking, this meant Demongo went from seeing Scara as nothing more than an inferior being below organics in the beginning of season 1 to actively defending the big guy when anyone else tried saying similarly degrading nonsense in season 2. He grew and changed as a person, and I’m so proud of him for it… OQKQOWKSOXMDODMDODDKK

• Since Aku can canonically dream apparently (according to the wiki), it only makes sense that Demongo can also dream. However, most of his dreams early on in the AU would often be rather unpleasant, constantly reminding him of the looming presence of Aku in his waking life. This happens a lot less frequently by the time season 2 rolls around, but it’s still very apparent that he continues to fear his ex-master, no matter how much better his life was at that point.

• Remember that giant see-through skull that Demongo was summoned in at the end of his debut episode? The one Aku destroyed with him inside? Considering Demmy is made of the same stuff as diamonds, I like to think that the skull is made of diamond as well (to an extent, especially since it’s hollow on the inside). Perhaps this was the skull that Demongo first formed in, and was used to summon his essence whenever Aku desired… well, until the big guy crushed it, seeing no more use in keeping Demongo around. Of course, Demmy was just sent back to the Pit of Hate to be punished for his failure, but the destruction of that crystal skull meant Aku could no longer summon him at will, which is definitely a good thing for Demmy.

• You know those other demons that work for Aku? The ones in the blue and red outfits that kinda act as the law enforcement for the big guy? Demongo was once a part of their ranks before gradually climbing to the top, later being promoted as one of the greats in the entirety of Aku’s legion. Of course, this was all before Jack came along and kicked Demmy’s ass.

• While he was being punished in the Pit of Hate, he at one point regained enough power to teleport out of the grasp of the demons who were watching over him, eventually finding a way to escape the Pit and return to the surface to regain his full strength. Aku was never told about his escape due to the two demons that were supposed to watch over the fiery lil shit fearing they would be killed if Aku ever found out. The two have been searching for Demongo ever since.

Scaramouche

• Scaramouche is the more level-headed of the two numbskulls as it is EXTREMELY difficult to genuinely piss him off. He is just THAT naturally laidback. However, when he DOES get pissed, he doesn’t scream or make a big fuss about it. No. He goes dead silent. This often ends with someone getting their ass beat… before Scara immediately bounces back with that familiar chirpy attitude after everything’s said and done.

• Despite how he’s mainly known for his scatting, Scara CAN legitimately sing. He’s pretty damn good at it. It’s the same story with dancing as well. He enjoys teaching Demmy how to sing and dance like he can, and the lil guy’s been getting better and better at it ever since. They really are just two theater kids in love. KWNWOSNOSKON

• He is NOT a twink. I have no clue why everyone for so long was under the impression that he was, but just because his limbs are skinny as fuck doesn’t mean his entire build is. Naw. Naw, that guy’s fairly built, pun totally intended. KWNWKWKSOKOK

• You can tell something is wrong when Scara starts speaking “normally” without any quips or “babe”s being thrown about. This can either happen if he’s genuinely pissed off, scared, or is actively hiding something.

• Since his creator was a French scientist, Scara in his early days took an interest in learning the language alongside English. Because of this, present Scara is fluent in both languages, being able to speak and write in them flawlessly. Even so, he’s genuinely interested to learn Japanese, Demmy’s first language. He thinks it’s cute that the lil guy likes trying to teach him the language, so he’s all for it. Scara’s fully capable of learning the language himself since… well… he IS a robot built to quickly learn shit, but he still prefers Demmy teaching him instead. He finds it too adorable of an offer to pass up on.

• Being a robot allows him to have near-perfect handwriting in any font he chooses. He typically uses cursive fonts, but he likes occasionally using really shitty fonts if it’ll piss other people off.

• Additionally, his robotic coding has made him practically a master at chess, even if he isn’t consciously aware of what he’s doing when playing it. Even he’s shocked with how good he is at it.

• I’m not entirely sure on this one, but I like to think that due to him being a robot and all, he can’t eat human foods like Demongo can. Luckily for him, the world of SJ most likely accommodates for robotic civilians, thus having shit like electronic-based foods and beverages… probably.

• I can also see the SJ universe having like… an abundance of repair or mechanic centers so any robotic citizens with a dismembered or missing arm can be fixed up quickly and with ease, so I’m sure Scara takes advantage of this… despite Demmy taking interest in wanting to learn how to help repair the big guy by himself, which Scara is flattered by the offer, but he doesn’t wanna risk Demmy accidentally doing some irreversible damage.

• Since it’s been shown in the og show that robots apparently sweat oil (ew), that also goes for Scara. This is mainly for consistency reasons, because unlike Genndy himself, Tigera and I enjoy consistency and proper continuity. >:/

• When wanting to be endearing towards Demongo, he’ll either call him “bud” (more so during season 1) or “hon” (more so during season 2). He has a plethora of other nicknames for the lil shit, but these two are the most common ones he dishes out.

• One prominent nickname he has for Demmy (mainly in season 2) is “Angel”. As ironic as it is, it holds some truth to Scara, and it funnily enough is Demmy’s favorite nickname the big guy’s ever given him.

• Much of his humor consists of “adult humor”, just as he demonstrated in the original show’s 5th season. We all know which scene I’m talking about. Even so, he tries not to overuse those jokes too much. He’s not a walking Family Guy gag. He’ll still chuckle to himself if he hears some sus-as-fuck wording, but he won’t be witty about it if shit’s too easy to joke about.

• Overall, Scara just likes to crack jokes, regardless of what kind of joke it is or if it’s even debatably funny. Demmy finds them all funny, but it’s DEFINITELY out of bias.

• Bro is absolutely pansexual. Gender doesn’t matter to him. Everyone’s hot to him. KANWKWMWOSK

• He’s had plenty of flings in the past and even some relationships that lasted quite a while, so he’s got a lot of experience when it comes to that kind of thing. It’s where he gets his patience and openness in his relationship with Demmy.

• Unlike Demongo, Scara is VERY social and finds it EASY to befriend people… or at least MOST people. He enjoys talking with people, no matter who they might be. Really, he just loves to talk, and if he clicks with anyone in the process, well, that’s just a bonus! This has resulted in Demmy getting a lil jealous sometimes, but since bro makes it obvious when he feels that way, Scara’s quick to reassure him and resolve the issue as efficiently as he can…

because I am SO SICK of that stupid fucking trope of a couple squabbling for THE ENTIRE PLOTLINE BECAUSE OF ONE STUPID MISUNDERSTANDING THAT THEY COULD’VE DEALT WITH IF THEY HAD JUST TALKED TO EACH OTHER-

Ahem

Sorry about that.

I am

VERY passionate about how I write romance in my stories.

…

Because I do it RIGHT for once.

• Since this AU does not have as long of a time skip as season 5 did, Scaramouche has not yet reached the big leagues regarding his job as an assassin. He’s still trying to make a name for himself and garner the attention of Aku. Because of this, he hasn’t reached the level of “mercilessness” he claims to have in season 5, refusing to kill people who either don’t have a bounty on their head or aren’t looking to kill HIM in turn. He’s still got a more humane outlook on life and other people, and he isn’t nearly as much of a jerk as he is in season 5… even if he still has quite a big ego.

• As much as he claims to strive for a life of fame and luxury, he’s only aiming to ensure a financially stable and comfortable life for himself. Having to live on his own after his creator’s passing was tough due to the financial limitations it put on him, and while he’s in a much better position by the time he meets Demmy, he still can’t help but feel at least a little insecure about his financial situation and how he’d be potentially looked down upon by others of a much higher social class. This insecurity drives him to be noticed by Aku, since he believes the big guy will ensure he’s never looked down upon again. However, this drive wavers as the story goes on.

• Over the course of the AU, Scara’s faith in Aku dwindles little by little as he learns more about Demongo’s past and how he was treated as someone who WAS in the big leagues for a little while. This all ultimately culminates when Jack pleads that the two turn against Aku, since they’ll both probably be killed or imprisoned regardless of what they choose to do. Scara WOULD have thoughtlessly disregarded Jack’s plea if it wasn’t for Demmy and his history pretty much confirming everything Jack was warning them about. THIS is why Scara chooses to back Demmy up and form a temporary alliance with Jack.

• In the event that his head is disconnected from his body (like in season 5), Scara has a very limited amount of backup power that can allow him to get himself to someone who can fix him up. I know his white eyes in the show were most likely a coloring error, but I like to think the change in eye color (in this AU specifically) indicates whenever he’s running on that backup power. Just like in the fifth season, he can also adapt to the bodies of other living creatures so it’s a lil easier for him to travel.

Miscellaneous

• Aku is comprised of petroleum... like… look at him. Bro’s big ol puddle form is practically just liquid petroleum. Plus, it explains what the fuck is up with his flaming eyebrows and beard. Most if not all of his demon servants are also made of this living petroleum substance, including Demongo. Petroleum IS pretty much just comprised of hydrocarbons after all.

• Since the concept of the fae has some origins in Scottish mythology, I thought it would be neat to include that shit in Scotsman’s character. Since Demongo is a mischievous magical being (and since demons overlap with the fae a lot in this kind of mythology), I can see the two characters having MAJOR beef with one another with the Scotsman claiming Demmy is nothing but a troublesome fae with Demongo taking GREAT offense to that claim, thus solidifying their pure hatred for one another.

• Despite Scara’s inclusion in this AU, the timeline roughly follows that of the comics where Jack DOES age normally and gets his sword destroyed at some point. Like in the comics, Aku IMMEDIATELY sensed when the sword was destroyed, which is why Jack needs to go into hiding and mask his appearance as best as he can to ensure Aku can never find him and take advantage of the situation. Jack would also later manifest the “spiritual” sword he gets in the comics. Some events in season 5 still occur, such as the Daughters of Aku still existing alongside the cult that raised them, but anything else that happened in season 5 that isn’t present in DoD’s story most likely didn’t happen in the AU.

• Despite Jack having his “sword” with him for the final fight, his sword alone cannot vanquish Aku for good. The sword is only just as good as the original sword, which would result in the same events that occurred when Jack’s father defeated Aku for the very first time. Aku would be merely sealed into the earth below until he could be freed by another inevitable solar eclipse. This is why Demongo is the one to truly defeat Aku. No solar eclipse will allow his essence to escape Demongo’s hold on him, and the only way for him to be set free is by defeating Demongo and freeing Aku from the inside out… or just by simply killing Demongo.

• While the Daughters of Aku are still a thing, they are no longer all twins. Only Ashi and Aki are twins. This is due to how the two wield the same exact weapon of choice in their initial fight with Jack. All the other daughters are the daughters of the cult followers who handed their children over to the head cultist to be raised and trained to one day kill Samurai Jack. This resulted in all of the unrelated daughters having completely different physiques from each other, all in accordance to their preferred weapon of choice. They also all vary in age with Ashi and Aki being the youngest. The twins are also the only ones who are the actual children of the head cultist. Since Aku never donated his own essence to the cult, it is unknown who the fathers of all these children are, assuming they’re even still alive.

• I like to think this AU takes place roughly 30 years after the last episode of the original series. Familiar characters aren’t as old as they would be in season 5, so characters like the Scotsman are still quite capable, even if he’s definitely no longer in his prime.

• Even if it’s only relevant for brief calendar scenes, I REALLY wanted to figure out a solid date for both the original series and the AU. Since Jack came from the Edo Period of Japan (or at the very least, it’s widely accepted that he did), I’d say it was roughly… 1624 when Jack was about to slay Aku before he got flung into the future. Imma say he probably got sent 400 years into the future, which would put him in 2024 by real-world time standards. However, since Aku was in charge, he instated his own universal rule for tracking time, with 1624 now being 0 BA (before Aku). This would put Jack in 400 AA (after Aku) or just 400. Since the AU takes place around 30 years later, this would mean the story takes place somewhere in the 430s… or I guess the 30s for short.

• Social media is still very much a thing in this universe, parodying the platforms we’re all familiar with in the real world. The only one that’s really relevant is the fictional counterpart to Twitter, which imma call Yapper cause it’s at least a better name than what it’s ACTUALLY being called nowadays. Scara absolutely has his own account where he frequently posts either funny shit or pictures of him and Demmy together. The big guy is NOT afraid to get gushy as fuck with the captions, so their relationship is not exactly a secret to the rest of the world. Demmy doesn’t have his own account because 1) he doesn’t have his own device to use it on, and 2) he’s a ✨people hater✨ and typically doesn’t care what other people think or do. Even so, he doesn’t mind Scara talking about him and sharing photos of the two of em online. He finds it really flattering, actually.

• In addition to the kinds of social media platforms you’d typically expect, there’s an additional forum posting site that involves the assassin, mercenary, and bounty hunter business, particularly since those are seen as legitimate occupations in this universe. This site, dubbed HeadTake, organizes and displays thousands upon thousands of different bounties for anyone to look into, each bounty being their own lil forum post listing who the target is, how much the bounty is, and so on. Additionally, to prevent countless hunters from going after the same bounty, every forum is organized via a lil ranking system depending on who issued the bounty, how much money is being offered, and how infamous the target is. The higher a user’s “rank”, the more bounties they’ll be able to access. Of course, Jack is his own beast entirely, getting his own special lil forum where only the best of the best are permitted and encouraged (by the site) to try and kill him. Scara has his own account on HeadTake where he’s obtained quite a high rank (especially with the help of Demongo), but he hasn’t quite reached the point of getting noticed by the likes of Aku yet.

• HeadTake allows for users to be composed of groups either by merging two existing accounts that can be separated later if needed or by simply updating the user’s status if any additional members never obtained their own account, such as Demongo. Ever since he and Scara started actively working together in season 1, the big guy had updated his account’s status to include the both of them in it, dubbing the two of them “the duo of doom” (roll credits). However, because of this feature, this site also would lead to the rise of the syndicate, the main antagonists of season 1. Speaking of…

• The Diamond Syndicate, or DiSy for short, is a massive conglomeration of assassins who all work under the same powerful leader. Using their riches and influence to coerce countless assassins into joining their ranks, DiSy has become a dangerous force to be reckoned with and does not take kindly to those who compete with them, especially for the same bounties.

• Instead of saying “what the hell,” the people in this universe will typically say something like “what in the Pit” since well… the Pit of Hate pretty much IS Hell to an extent.

• Just like Demongo, all other demons (including Aku) favor diets that consist of light elements, mainly junk food. Honestly, knowing Aku’s character, this makes a lot of sense KWMWKSMSODMON

OKAY

That’s all the headcanons and ideas I can think of for now, but I might still add onto this later on, so be sure to keep an eye on this post if you’re interested in how I write these characters and this universe in general.

Y’all have a good one!

Hello! Just popping in about that Mikoto fic 👀

It was all really cool, I loved the emotional punch that it packed. I was crying over Bokukoto trying to work through so much new information, trying to find comfort in the idea of Orekoto, calling out to him -- only to reject the thought just as quickly... And given everything we see in Double now, it’s extra fitting that he’s shown wearing himself out and not really using any healthy methods of relaxing rip

I loved the mirror as their contact point!! Both as a callback to the mv visuals, but just a really cool idea in general! Like, obviously they’d only see “themselves” when looking in a mirror, so it’s awesome to see the concept executed so literally >:0

OUGH Orekoto’s view of the world is so painful, but given his origins it makes so much sense. I feel like it’s common to see interpretations of him where he’s full of drive and aggression and motivation to fight back against the world (that’s how I took him until reading this lol), so I really enjoyed the more realistic perspective that he’s just fed up with everything. He’s not fighting because he wants to stick it to ‘em, he’s just fighting to hang on and make it through each day in a world that’s beating him down ;---;

There’s such a painful, ironic loneliness. Both feel so isolated despite having someone else so close. Bokukoto is afraid of the others staying away from him, and Orekoto is afraid of Bokukoto leaving him. Bokukoto wants someone to rely on, Orekoto wants someone to rely on him, but neither one is making it easy for the other!! >:'( I thought you did such a cool job of driving home that feeling of deep loneliness while simultaneously keeping up the tone that there was someone else nearby, connected.

I was curious, did Mikoto get to see MeMe? Or was he hearing the “other voice” in general?

Ah sorry this got a bit long but I thought the fic was really nice!!

I did have a lot of fun writing the Mikoto fic and playing with the broader interpretations of Mikoto's character.

There are little nods to my own interpretation of his character here and there. That comes about in the subtle tiredness and disdain towards the way the world is in the second part. Along with the begrudging acceptance that it may always be that way regardless of what an individual does.

personally I've always considered the space in MeMe to be Mikoto's mental space. A representation of his own mentality and way of handling things. Hence why it's so destroyed but serene in a way. Far less frantic than what we see displayed in Double. I think there are a few things in Double that support the idea that in MeMe we're seeing Mikoto's space while in Double we see John's.

Not even taking into consideration Deco's statement after the videos release. So, I worked with that sort of impression in mind. To give this idea of Ore (John) trying to meet Mikoto where he was at in a way. Yet, still not really being capable of fully understanding. I wanted it to give off this feeling of I'm here to support you even if your actions don't make sense to me and mine may not make sense to you.

A theme that's incredibly difficult to convey. It did become easier to convey when considering that regardless of who did what they both held the same understanding that things couldn't have continued the way they were going for one reason or another.

Since I did write this fic before Double released I'm glad to see it aligned with some of the things presented. Though there are certain lines that give a clearer impression of the events that if I had them then probably wouldn't have changed much but certainly would have been helpful.

Such as,

" “He’s a liar”, you said, and made me out to be a scoundrel, why?"

Since, if Double is from John's perspective which it seems to be for the most part with Mikoto coming in at certain parts. Similar to how MeMe seems to have been from Mikoto's perspective with John coming in for other parts. This line is more than likely referring back to Mikoto's line within MeMe of,

"All those ridiculous accusations."

As "He's a liar" is put in quotation marks and most of the lyrics put into quotation marks within the prisoners songs seem to be something that prisoner have said in regards to the situation that put them here.

All of Mikoto's quoted lyrics would be

MeMe

"I"

"Me"

"Goodnight"

Double

“No, I need to do more…”

"Savior"

and

"He's a liar"

Goodnight and Goodmorning is used prominently throughout Double to transition between perspectives. Which have been neatly broken into a daytime part and a nightime one.

Something that becomes more interesting when one considers Mikoto's previous statements and the fact that MeMe the song that Mikoto is given onus of in Double-

As John takes onus of double singing,

"I don’t remember a thing, it couldn’t be helped, I’m DOUBLE (MeMe)."

MeMe is put in parerntheses not only highlightinhg yhe differences in songs but the fact that they are still one and the same to an extent. The tone of Double is also lighter than the previous one where Mikoto proper is shown to use more growling and screams.

Even shown to pant and hyperventalate at points similarly to how he does in the first voice drama. These sort of noises do break into Double at very interesting and indicative parts in my opinion. However, they're far from the main focus now.

Couple that with the fact that MeMe takes place at night with no daytime parts at all along with this answer Mikoto gave trial one,

Q.20 Are you more of a morning person or a night person?

Mikoto: I used to be basically nocturnal. Recently though I’ve been falling asleep pretty early.

Everything that occurred prior really lent itself well for Double to use lighting to play around with the concept of time and subtly transition from between one point to another.

As though showing the front and the back of the situation all at once.

Yet, it really made it difficult to not have that when writing a fic for Mikoto.

So, while writing those my main concern was not falling too into what I believed people wanted to see based on wider fandom interpretations of his character and instead subtlely highlight the intricacies that made me like Mikoto as a character.

A lot of which on Mikoto's end was that feeling of loneliness, fear of being stuck with oneself, and the fear being of being wrong in someway or viewed as wrong that MeMe gave off. Something I feel was properly expanded on through Double.

This is also why most of the songs I chose to listen to while writing them were heavily centered around loneliness, longing and to an extent the creation that can only be found from destroying ones present reality.

Something that is displayed in a more aggressive way in MeMe and Mikoto's first cover being Monopoisoner. I feel it's also visualized well through the state of Mikoto's inner world in MeMe. Because even though it looks in disrepair there's a peace and orde to it. That really embodies the concept of demolishing a wall to see the sky.

Throughout Double there are signs of Mikoto everywhere but in MeMe there aren't really many signs of John. Even when facing himself in the mirror. Something that was taking as though it could it was the other through yet through new information comes off as Mikoto being fearful of facing himself and his own actions.

So, I really had a difficult time interpretting the other as angry or agressive and leant more into tired and fed up as a result. Admittedly he can be angry and aggressive like anyone can but I wanted to explore where that anger and defensiveness would come from.

I also used the mirror as a contact point for this reason as well. I thought it was a subtle way to highlight that through not fully reflecting on himself Mikoto can't recognize the other as well. It also was a good way of playing on the idea of them seeing eye to eye being as simple as looking into the mirror.

Since again even if they aren't in full agreement they both seem to want Mikoto to be told he was right for what he did and be forgiven. For the audience to admit that they made a mistake and neither of them are the sort of person others have claimed they are. Something that has remained consistent through trials.

I'm really glad the characterizations can still sort of hold up even after Double's release though I personally see some areas where I could have done better.

Especially since the staff does such a great job of differentiating between the two of them visually in Double.

Even though I rushed writing it I was very conscious about introducing a reason behind their behavior instead of vilifying one more than the other. YetI still wanted to display Mikoto's distrust and upset at this turn of events as a valid response. So, I wonder if I made him come off more sympathetic in comparison to the other.

On Mikoto's side I really wanted to highlight and extrapolate on these lines in particular,

"Why, hey why, I’m nowhere to be found." "I’m probably not to blame." "It’s probably nothing."

Really home in on that feeling of being so close to knowing something but being so afraid of the truth one pulls away from it out of self preservation.

Yet, with the other I really wanted to focus more on the external pressures and since of wrongness in regards to the situation they were in. Along with the disdain one would rightfully feel for being blamed for everything that was going wrong. Double really did give me a lot more nuance to chew on when it came to them.

There's so much to analyze when it comes to it still but I am very happy you liked the fic and the feelings were properly conveyed.

In terms to this question. I may not have fully understood it so please forgive me,

I was curious, did Mikoto get to see MeMe? Or was he hearing the “other voice” in general?

I said earlier I think the space from MeMe is Mikoto's one and having John there was in a way me implying they were meeting Mikoto where he was at.

My perception was,

The space in MeMe = Mikoto's Space

The space in Double = John's space

So, I believe Mikoto would be able to see it himself but be incapable of finding John in it. That's just my angsty interpretation of the,

"Why, hey why, I’m nowhere to be found."

Line. Since after a while I grew quite fond of the interpretation MeMe kind of being Mikoto looking for the other and having this discussion with the other. As Milgram is full of double meanings. I'd just interpretted for example this line,

"Please tell me it’s a mistake, that’s it’s a lie. That I’m right, I’ll forgive you If you tell me now."

As not only being directed at the audience but the other (John) as well.

Though that's just how i enjoy looking at it. Ah, this response is probably longer than you were expecting. But yeah that's mostly all of the thoughts that went into writing it and how I feel about it after Double's release.

So, in regards to your question in Mikoto's part where he was hearing the voices and the other speaks for a bit it was more so as though he spaced out for a moment. He didn't really see the space himself. While at the beginning of the others they were just hanging out there to feel closer to Mikoto in a way. Hope that makes sense.

hiiii im gonna like forfeit silly talk to be genuine for a moment (it's nothing serious, just a little bit of explanation)

very sorry if we post a little less for the next couple of days/weeks!! we're involved in both competitive and audition based choirs that take up basically all of our time for practices/rehearsals. we have a dinner night this weekend, an audition for our state's choir next monday, and loads and loads of show choir competitions to get ready for, and needless to say it's a LOT of dedication and love put in to doing a good job. that isn't to say that we're stressed, we're just prioritizing something we love!!

moreover, though, we've been having a harder time keeping track of memory and self-awareness. if you weren't previously aware, we are a system (hence why we refer to ourself as "we" when talking about the body) with some pretty intense memory gaps. we've had a more trouble keeping ourself grounded and aware as of late, so our attention span with things like this has been a little foggy. also, we've been worried about posting because we try to keep stylistic choices to something relatively the same when posting on this blog, but it's just a little hard when it's not something that comes naturally to you. for me personally, i just don't have the same thought process while drawing that the host (aka the one who did most of the artwork up to this point) has, which makes his art a little hard to replicate. it's pretty safe to say we need a hot second to simmer down a little ^^""

this doesn't mean we won't post at all, of course! this just means that the quality + quantity might be a little less for the next little portion of time. we thought it was important to fill you all in on this one since it might take a little more explaining to get that we're alright and like not burnt out or something (plus it's nice to get to tell people about the things that are important to you).

with that being said, please feel free to send in more silly suggestions/prompts! we can use them for doodles and stuff and maybe post them here if we like em' enough! this is in no way a hiatus or anything lol

#mspobjects #long post #ask to tag #if you read thanks !!! sorry if it was lots of rambling

Alright I heard u are the keagan main to go to for this so theories on Nessa let's hear em 👀

sorry anon i got halfway through answering this and then got busy! but here i am!

LADY NESSA (And Keagan)

What do we know about her?

Keags worked as her "personal assistant" but they haven't met in years, and she's "not fond of people meddling in her personal affairs".

They seem to have parted ways on unfriendly terms - it "didn't end well"

She's hot as fuck obviously

She lives in Fálias (at least now, but I think that it is likely that she always lived there - nobles tend to have a Big House that they stay in) - and Aífe gives us a caution about prying

Keagan is the only one who calls her by the title Mistress, everyone else uses Lady Nessa (Mistress meaning woman head of household) -> either a nod to their history together, or a verrrry subtle insult by being overly familiar/ refusing to use her proper noble title [which would be... Keagan core]

What are my theories about her?

Before we get into that, since this concerns Keagan's backstory I want to establish a couple more facts about HIM because this ties into what I'm thinking about Lady Nessa.

What are my theories about Keagan's backstory?

So we know that

Keagan is an orphan,

he grew up in Finias, but did not know Aife when she lived there

at some point he came to Fálias, where he lives now,

he rose through the ranks quickly during the War,

he seems to have found out the queen's secret

he keeps his background shrouded in mystery,

he's filthy rich (and loves it),

he's a good employer who cares about his staff - paying them well (notably unlike other nobles),

he doesn't have any friends other than Aífe (🥺)

his name is very obviously made up,

he's shady as fuck and

he loves to pry.

My conclusions from this are:

he did NOT grow up rich (he loves to flex - he'd say it if he had. He treats his staff well because he wasn't born with a silver spoon. He doesn't go by his original surname but I think that he would if it was a noble name. He's obsessed with his own wealth because it's new to him. If he was noble then people would know who he was from before the war, but they don't. And Aífe specifically would know who he was, but doesn't. Why would he have needed to work as a PA to the lady if he was a noble son? there's better ways for the nobility to get patronage.)

Sometime after his parents died, obviously he had to fend for himself. Without some kind of big inheritance, what options were available to him?

He also made his way to Fálias in this time, after his parents died.

What are my theories about her? (fr this time)

So I was thinking that:

She noticed Keagan somehow, and decided to take him in because he was useful - he probably showed his worth to her, perhaps via finding out an important secret and using that information to prove that he could be useful to her? - and she took him under her wing. Basically, sponsoring him, which gave him a bit more access to things.

An alternative is that he got himself into that position with the intent of spying on her, which is what all the "she doesn't like people prying into her business" references are about.

Obviously, either way, Keagan definitely stuck his nose where it shouldn't have been, pried into things he shouldn't have pried into, and got caught with it. Hence the relationship ending poorly, the warnings about prying.

However, there's some reason why she has not done anything about this. Perhaps he knows something important, and has ensured that in the event of his death, it would get out? Or she simply cannot touch him?

But somehow I am leaning towards that she isn't trying to actively make him dead... for now.

And finally

One last thing: everyone in the discord agrees she's either a milf or sus (or both, but you have to pick one)

Kinda interested in what other people think though and I have polls now so-

#keagan #na daoine maithe #otome #visual novel #nessa #interactive fiction #i am fighting for my life trying to finish my degree sorry this took so long anon #ask #oc

Homestuck, page 3,695

[S] Seer: Descend.

youtube

Song used: Black Rose / Green Sun by Malcom Brown

song commentary:

Malcolm Brown:

So it's the music forum discussion, and there's talk about albums representing each of the kids and discussions on what the styles would be. Some are obvious (like say, Dave) and some are offering a bit more discussion. It comes to Rose and there's a degree of uncertainty, and I suggest that it'd be veering into classical, offering up Saint-Saëns "Dance Macabre" as an example of the sort of thing I'd expect, and then set out to whip something up.

And at this point in the story Rose's set on flying her dream self with the tumor into the green sun to destroy it (Ah remember those days). In a tried and true effort of "trying to predict where Hussie will take the story and make music for it" BR/GS was scribed as a "very sad, yet hopeful, song about Rose's eventual sacrifice" - Hence why it all builds up to a big creshendo and then fades away (and why it's called Black Rose / Green Sun , although there's another reason for that as explained below)

The whole thing is based on yet another piece I made years ago and drafted it out of retirement and made it into something new and useful. The music box was one of the key elements, representing a kind of creepy childlike innocence, and then Rose's signature instrument (the violin, although the sample used is actually a viola and the notes it plays are closer to a cello) begins to kind of build up. Eventually we see the majesty of the green sun, and the rest of the song builds up to the tumors destruction. (All of which never happened even remotely in this way but that's what the song was supposed to be about anyway). The overall style is a kind of very sinister attempt at representing something small vs something huge - Original inspiration was taken from the style of music from Xenogears (Yasunori Mitsuda, being very celtic and awesome).

The scratchy-sfx were my attempt at auralising the green sun's "scratch" effect. I'm not 100% convinced they work but Andrew kept 'em in so whatever.

When Andrew asked to use it, it was going to be for a walkaround, so I needed to make some adjustments to make it loopable for the flash. For the album, I added a second section with a keytar solo (I was mucking about with it at the time) to make it a bit more interesting. Ultimatly it ended up being used for something completely different than originally intended, and oddly the name ("Black Rose") became oddly apt once she went all grimdark and tried to fight Jack ("Green Sun").

The name was also a reference to a Sonata Arctica song, similarly titled involving colours, except it was called "White Pearl, Black Oceans".

Author commentary: Here's a neat trick I played on everybody. [S] Seer: Descend began like an an ordinary animation, leaving you no reason to expect otherwise. It opens with this heavy mood-setting piece of Rose dropping from the storm clouds, all hopped up on revenge from her recent orphaning, and looking for trouble. But the moment she touches down, it switches to become another playable RPG game. Suddenly you realize you have to control Rose yourself to see the rest of the action.

If I recall, this was also the final RPG game of the story, until deep into Act 6 when we start seeing Meenahbound games (which, despite being RPG games technically, still feel like they're in a different category from these). Maybe this was the last one of these games I did because this one felt like the peak usage of the format in a lot of ways. The integration with a Flash intro, its use as a narrative-advancing tool, and the way it puts the reader in a position that feels kind of complicit in marching your heroes right into what you already know will be a traumatic outcome. There's a lot going on with this one, and I think the emotional beats it hits, the mood, and the general sense of anticipation are all unusually sharp by any Flash page's standard. Even though I never fully saw this story through a reader's eye, I remember after making this that I stopped to reflect on how this whole sequence really "felt" like something.

I would make some remark about how this is an unusually melodramatic entrance Rose is making on account of her grimdarkness, except the truth is this is probably pretty close to how she came downstairs to have breakfast with her mom every morning.

Due to the abstract format of the RPG mode, and the fact that you're in control now, you don't get to see how Rose actually reacts to this horrific murder scene. You just have to imagine it. Or you could take what you're seeing here literally, which also works. As if Rose were regarding all this very stoically, too focused on revenge to do anything but Terminator-style march through this castle looking for Jack.

This game also seems to involve more walking than usual. Hey, castles are big! Now let's get ready to enjoy the epic fight Rose is about to have with Sans Undertale.

Wait, Sans isn't in this game. Not sure what I was thinking. Pretty much the only thing in this castle is a bunch of chess guys, who are all either dead or scared. An unseen Jack lurks through the castle, taking care of the latter group. And not by offering them comforting reassurance, if you know what I mean. ;-) (He kills them all with his sword.) ;-)

Hey, just because I ripped those stained glass window assets specifically for use in the stupid Zillyhoo Flash a few pages ago doesn't mean I can't repurpose those exact assets in a much more serious Flash which uses a completely different rendering style. Did you know this is mainly how all this stuff got made so fast? Just constantly opening up some recent garbage, grabbing some garbage inside the garbage, and pasting the old garbage into the new garbage. And it pretty much always works fine, if not quite well. It may be the ultimate strength of my process. My sense is that many other people would get hung up for hours on little creative decisions that often took me seconds to solve.

This Flash probably does more than any page before it to begin framing (mostly through subtext like this) the greater structure of Homestuck's remaining narrative. These banners include little excerpts we recognize from earlier for each of the four kids. The title "They Wait" begs the question, who is "They"? That would be the four Alpha Kids in the post-Scratch session, waiting for our four heroes. The emphasis placed on "waiting" is a nod to the way a significant part of Act 6 plays out—the Alphas enter their void session and have to spend a lot of time waiting around for these four legendary heroes who will be able to bring their session to life. There's a sense of waiting on both sides though, as the Beta Kids have to complete a long journey to the new session. So we see that the inevitable session scratch has been woven into carapacian lore from the start, as is hinted at with these banners. Similarly, all the lore inside the Alpha session seems to totally revolve around the fact that its heroes (nobles) are waiting around for their counterparts before they can do anything significant. These two sessions each seem to have a kind of symbiotic mythos. They relate to and depend on each other to make sense.

The lines for each banner are just reprisals of the false quotation segments each kid got much earlier. The "pimp's in the crib" line comes across as a pretty good punchline. But since we've gradually been learning more about Lord English, and in particular the way Dave will continue to be portrayed as being destined to clash with him, it starts becoming tempting to associate this phrase with English himself. Could the pimp be LE? It's not far off from how he operates. He uses a variety of women as slaves in his service. What's the crib? Could it be Cal? A cradle of sorts for the soul of LE to incubate until he's finally ready to emerge? Damn, this really adds up. Kinda spooking myself here.

This guy thanking goodness for pillars is just a dark setup for a punchline later where you come back here to find him dead and the pillar sliced through.

Even the dang yellow yard is stitched into their legends. Unbelievable. This brief riddle hints at the solution to the looming scratched session problem and how it involves my shitty ruler. It says they need to "cross" the yellow yard, suggesting it is a physical distance which must be traversed. Hmm. At the other side of that traversal "He" (the genesis frog) finds the pond in which He's meant to squat (a new Skaia in a different session). And this destination existing "through broken glass"… I'm not sure what else that could make you think of except the 4th wall. Yo, I'm sitting here thinking, like, you can figure this out??? This was a totally crackable mystery pretty well in advance of when all this stuff finally happens.

It's kind of funny that this carapacian tome considers the idea of more than four orbs to be preposterous. It acknowledges the theoretical possibility, but beyond that they just think it's silly. Sburb is a flexible game that can go in infinite different ways, but once a session is locked into specific conditions, the inhabitants all seem to believe those conditions are totally normal, and any other conditions sound insane to them. It's kind of like how we have the ability to imagine different laws of physics in our universe, but actually picturing them put into practice and how that would affect life seems insane and completely fantastical. Yet perhaps there are different universes with different physical laws regardless. How would we know?

There's no way Rose didn't just pocket that queen porn.

Okay, what aisle of the library did Rose just wander down?! There sure is a lot of problematic trash on these shelves.

Turns out WV has a fandom. He should be very proud. Unfortunately his fandom is rapidly shrinking.

Looks like the Rose x WV ship has just SET SAIL! (Dozens of lively sailors manning the S.S. Rosemayor spring into a delightful choreography in celebration of their romance.) Good work, boys, I love the energy I'm seeing. Why does Rose always seem to get the best crack ships? There is nothing to do but accept this fact about her completely, and update your grids accordingly.

Once you find John, you can move a statue off a transportalizer and teleport back here in order to minimize the retreading you have to do through the castle. Very nice of me to offer this shortcut. Also, notice the bloody footprints scattered about. This is how you know you're on Jack's trail. I don't know how his feet got coated in that much blood though. You'd think he could only produce two or three bloody tracks before it ran out. I guess blood just really sticks to Jack for some reason. That hand sure stayed bloody a long time as well.

Way too many of these huge, majestic chess beasts are being cut down in their prime. This is easily Jack's greatest atrocity. I can barely even bring myself to look at this page.

It's kind of unclear what's going on here. You follow the footprints until you catch a glimpse of Jack, but he's in the process of vanishing just as you reach the top of the stairs. It's a shame Rose isn't also leaving a trail of bloody footprints. That way if someone later saw the two sets of prints, and saw one of them suddenly disappear, they might conclude "That was when Rose Lalonde was carrying Bec Noir." Wow, quite a sentimental moment between them. Another crack ship, anyone? You got it.

Another way this Flash begins boldly hinting at the remaining story structure is with these curtains. I almost feel like it's hitting you over the head at this point. First you go through four red curtains (Acts 1-4). -->

--> Then a blue curtain (Act 5 Act 1), then another red one (Act 5 Act 2, which is what we're reading now). -->

--> Then we get to a big record platform, allowing you to teleport. This pretty obviously symbolized the Scratch we are building to at the end of this act. The teleportation reflects the fact that we can't seamlessly proceed to the next act, that it will involve some fancy footwork to somehow shift the players from one plane of reality to another (which, thanks to the excerpts from that tome earlier, we are now guessing is a process that entails "crossing the yellow yard"). -->

--> Then we keep walking up and encounter more curtains. But this time, they aren't red, they're green. We get the sense that Act 6 will be very different terrain, just like Hivebent was, which also had non-red curtains. Also, there are a lot of them. Six in total, which we can infer to be act subdivisions, a structure we've already been introduced to with A5A1 and A5A2 but is obviously going to be taken even further now. Subdividing Act 6 into six sub-acts suggests a certain degree of recursive self-division, which maybe also hints the subdivisions will go even further than this, sending us asymptotically spiraling downward into hell (666). But will it go that far? (Yes.) Also: the first five green curtains are already open, but the final one is closed. What does this mean? It means these sub-acts will be iteratively repetitive of the story structure we have already read, starting over with new characters in an Act I-like situation and advancing similarly until we get to roughly the state of endgame complexity we're at now. The first five curtains exist because those parts of the story will exist. We will get to read those parts, but the Beta Kids won't be able to participate because they won't have arrived yet. They will arrive toward the end of the full Act 6 arc, which means in a sense that all of those curtains will already be open for them. The only one they need to open will be the final one, as they get closer to making their grand entrance near the endgame state and reunite with their estranged teen guardians. Really, this couldn't be more obvious unless I typed this entire paragraph verbatim and pasted it directly onto the final green curtain. -->

--> Finally we end up on a white Skaia platform. White, because that's the color of Act 7. Skaia, because that's the final destination of the frog containing the universe the players create. By entering Skaia, Rose has essentially traced the path of the magic tadpole and impregnated Skaia. But it turns out John was already waiting in here, looking for his dad. So did I just imply that…Rose just got John pregnant? No, wait, that makes no sense on any level. Also there's enough ship-teasey garbage in this game between these two as it is, without me stirring the ol' Grimdork Mpreg Pot.

Also note how this exchange immediately establishes that John can't understand Rose's broodfester tongues. Another brilliant ploy by me, sidestepping any real, gratifying, in-person conversation between two human kids. Her grimdark gag order serves several purposes here. First, it's just another way to milk the agonizing sense of dramatic irony this RPG game emanates. Rose can't tell John their parents are dead, so she has no choice but to lead him to the bodies while he cheerfully babbles on as if nothing's wrong. It also delays the more friendly conversation they'd have if she were normal, which would result in a lot of standard banter that just wouldn't be hitting the right note for this scene.

It also lets John seem extra-dumb, which is always a nice bonus, and it gives him enough slack to let him talk himself into some awkward corners, thus stoking the shipping fires. Not that this is actually a worthwhile objective, but the kids like it. I may have had some harsh words for this ship in the past, and I will stand by the position that it seems boring. Or maybe…it's not? What if Rose's grimdark condition salvages the ship? Okay, I can buy that. Then they get married, and have to learn sign language, because Rose keeps spewing nonsense forever. Then they have inter-grimdark kids, who speak half gibberish and half… Wait, nope. This ship still sucks actually.

John starts doing the thing where he's talking to Rose like he's trying to figure out what a dog is trying to say. Except she isn't even part-doggy like Jade. Actually it's quite possible he's still just flexing more of his internalized sexism. John Egbert: literally the worst male in Homestuck? It's likelier than you think.

The velvet pillow makes a comeback. It also resurfaces at various points in Act 6, which suggests Rose develops a long term habit of using it as a therapeutic object during her moments of psychological angst. (Then Gamzee steals it for some reason.)

Behind the white platform is a statue of the White Queen and King. I'm not really sure why this was here. Just a place to put a nice asset, I guess? The symbolic implication seems to be that once the universe is created, WK and WQ get to live their happily ever after too. But we know that can't happen. Maybe it was just a nice fantasy they entertained, and immortalized through a hidden statue. Maybe they talked about it a lot, what their peaceful lives would have been like for them if they got to live in this new universe too. Wow, that's about as sad as it gets.

Really flagrant ship tease. Pretty outrageous. Especially considering we know Rose has already been successfully crack-shipped with practically every carapacian in the story. WK (he loves her fic, remember?), WV (she was recently swayed by tales of his heroism), WQ and BQ (Rose is a lesbian, and they're both sexy queens)… I could go on. But I don't need to. We both know this all just WORKS.

John, just stop. You're starting to piss everybody off.

Jade's loyalty-based Jack armor even applies to her banner. Bad dog, best friend.

You know how sometimes you're walking up a really long staircase with someone in total silence, and to make things less awkward you just start babbling about anything at all to break the silence? John randomly starts talking about how they should get married. Pretty smooth, huh?

To be fair, Rose's pleasant expression suggests she may be receptive to the idea. Then again, her words may literally translate to "Sorry to disappoint you, John, but I'm currently in love with a gay alien."

The Demon Amongst Vampires

Pairing: Bela Dimitrescu x Demon (Fem!)Reader

Summary: Getting caught on the grounds of Castle Dimitrescu is one problem. Being a Demon hybrid is another. Getting caught WHILST being in your demon form is a whole issue. As you’re held captive in the castle, a Dimitrescu daughter has been enchanted by you.

Warnings: Blood, Slight G0R3 (Body dismemberment, but, not over-the-top gore), slightly nsfw

A/N: I didn’t understand the hype for Resident Evil 8 and now I understand why. Here is my contribution to you fellow simps. Also, since R is a demon, I’ve referenced some demon-anime characters. Bonus points if you get those references! R is My Character: Hydrangea Dragonfold! But her name is not mentioned in this story.

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

As you make your kill, you hear a faint buzzing sound. However, you think nothing of it, you've heard far worse. You recall back before you ran away from your home; the screams of your now dead family. You faintly remember somebody infusing their blood with yours. You don't remember who exactly but now you're a Demon. You don't remember how you got there but you just are. You can't exactly go back to being the person you used to be.

"Who's out here?!" A demanding voice calls out

You try your best to hide yourself however, you immediately knock over something with your elbow.

"Well well, what have we here?" She asks you, immediately teleporting herself over to you

She uses the end of her sickle to bash on the side of your head. Everything goes black.

"Mother, look what I found roaming our grounds," a muffled yet familiar voice says

As you gain your consciousness you look up just as some footsteps turn to face you. You were in awe, you didn't think you'd be in the presence of such a tall woman.

"What have we here?" The tall woman asks

Your mind was everywhere, you didn't exactly hear her question. You were still questioning how you got in the castle.

"Answer mothers' question peasant!" A female voice yells, punching your jaw

You cough out blood, your jaw seemingly broken.

“Daniela don’t touch what isn’t yours!” a voice yells

“She wasn’t paying attention!” Another voice screams back

“Now now daughters, let’s all calm down now,” The tall woman says

Once you looked back up at the tall woman, you 'un-broke' your jaw, hearing it crack back into place.

"No one special that's for sure," you groan

"Well, anyone who can snap their jaw back into place without writhing in pain must be," the tall woman says, "So, let's see how special you really are."

Two of the three hooded women begin walking toward you. You however, hold up your hand.

"I'll do it myself," you sigh

You hold up your pinky and its nail begins sharpening and turning black. You hold it against your wrist and slash it with no form of wincing in pain. Blood slowly seeps out from your cut as you hold it up to the tall woman. She takes your wrist and begins sucking on your wrist that you had cut. Not even a second in, she throws your wrist back down and gags in disgust.

"That is VILE!" She screams

You kind of felt bad for offering such bad blood. But you had no other choice really.

"Then let's devour this woman's flesh quickly mother," the woman with strawberry-blonde hair suggests

"But I'm the one who brought her here," the woman with blond hair says, “I should get the first bite!”

"My sincerest apologies," you sigh, letting your cut heal itself, "Being a demon sure has its bad blood taste.. Apparently.."

"And what of this?" The tall woman gestures to your backpack

"Nothing special," you say once more, "Just shoes..... A handful of them.... My feet you see.. Let's just say I wear them out a lot faster. Speaking of shoes.... Can I get some out I don't want to leave... A nasty stain on your lovely floors."

The tall woman snaps her fingers and the blonde woman reaches into your backpack. She pulls out two black sandals. The other two women snicker.

"Nice to have 'em cheap really," you add as you watch the blonde woman put them on your feet

"Take this.. Demon, Bela," the tall woman says, "You're in charge of it."

"I have a name and pronouns you know," you nearly spat, slightly angered

The blond woman flies to you and holds your chin, making you look up at her.

"You sure have some nerve to be talking to mother like that," she smirks at you

"Being a demon sure has its perks," you smirk back, "Well, you're in charge Ms. Lady."

She drags you up from the ground to make you stand up. She grabs you by the arm and begins dragging you out of the tall lady's chamber.

"So.... What's your plan with me?" You ask, monotonus

"I'll make you my plaything," she smiles maliciously, "After I'm finished with you, I will eat your flesh."

You just listen to her ramble on about how she'll kill you, unphased. However she stops when she doesn't hear a reply out of your mouth.

"How are you not afraid?" She asks

"I have nowhere else to be, no other family to go home to," you start, “So, what does a demon like myself have left to lose? Besides, you’d be doing me a favor hot stuff.”

You saw her cheek flush a faint pink color when you realized you called her cute.

"Also, I wouldn't want you eating demon flesh," you sigh, "You've seen how your.... Mother reacted to my blood. Can't really imagine what my flesh will taste like...."

"Then why don't I find out?" She asks, menacingly

You look at her confused however wince in pain when she takes a bite out of your arm. You watch her eat the part of your flesh and blood. However, mid-eating the flesh she tore off you, she stops and opens her eyes.

"You're.... Divine," she moans, finishing her snack

You look at her in slight awe, the moonlight complimenting her pale skin. Her eyes dilated from the apparent divine taste of you.

"One, a little warning next time you decide to snack on me,” You groan, watching the indent on your arm heal, “Two, I can regenerate my skin cells a lot faster than the average. But it'll regenerate slower if you continuously eat from the same spot. I can also snap my bones back into place. Hence me being able to snap my jaw back into place when your sister punched the hell out of me."

The both of you stare at each other before she breaks the eye contact and dragging you to her chambers.

"You okay with a demon in your room?" You ask, "Aren't you afraid of a sleep paralysis demon?"

You asked it as a joke, however, Bela turns to you, confused.

"What's that?" She asks

"You've-you've never heard of a sleep paralysis demon?" You ask

She shakes her head.

"Well," you smirk, "You just might see one."

Bela giggles, "well aren't you a sharp tongued little demon."

"I'm not little," you growl

"Aww the little demon is so cute when she's mad," Bela continues teasing you

Having enough your instincts take over, a ring of bright blue fire takes over your body, two flame like horns protrude from your head, your pupils turning into vein like slits, your canines sharpening to a point, as do your nails and finally, your tail bone becomes an actual tail. Your nail dug into the other woman's wrists as she gazes up at your new appearance.

"My my little demon aren't you all riled up," she says seductively

You say nothing but look at her unamused. However, your grip on her doesn't loosen, trying to intimidate her with your supposedly terrifying secret. However, she moves her leg over you so that she’s straddling you. The grip you had on her subsides and she gives your wrists the same treatment. She leans down close so that one side of her hair drapes over you like a curtain and her lips within touching distance.

"If you think you can come in here unannounced and nearly top me, you're in for a world of hell," she whispers

"Well I was brought here against my will," you joke, "But, I don't think that's a bad thing at all."

You smirk at her. You look at her lips then back up at her eyes. Feeling bold mysteriously, you raise your head up to meet her lips. You pull away the second you snap yourself back to reality.

"Why did you pull away little demon?" She asks

At that point you couldn't be mad at her for calling you by your now pet name. You couldn't find the proper answer.

"I don't know," you half-assed it

She lifts your arm and licks the blood that remains on your wrists, moaning in pleasure from how your blood tasted.

"If you ever cross me like that ever again, I'll make sure you're going to pay for it," she whispers

"Any way you want princess," you smirk

It was a restless night for you, you continuously fought with your demon self from transforming. You managed to persuade the other woman to have you sleep on the floor, out of fear of setting anything on fire. You couldn't stop growling. The tossing and turning wasn't helping either.

"What's wrong micul meu demon?" The other woman asks, groaning

"N-nothing I'm fine," you answer all groggy like, "Did-did I wake y-you?"

"No," she says, "I'll help you. Come into bed demon mic."

"I'm fine," you growl, almost letting your demon come out

You feel a swarm of insects roaming around your body until you felt plopped down onto a bed. The other woman snakes her arms around your midsection and you suddenly felt your demon... Rest. That's never happened before..

"Better?" She asks

"Yeah," you confess, settling yourself in, "Thanks..."

You could feel her breath going right down your neck. You were both nervous and aroused. You turn your body so that you’re facing the other woman.

“Are you aright?” She asks

You nod, letting the feeling of the embrace and you take the opportunity to finally enjoy a nights sleep.

“Good night, micul meu demon,” Bela whispers into your ear

Of all things you’ve experienced in one day, a compassionate vampire lady wasn’t an expectation.

The next several months go by and you're beginning to open up with Bela and everyone else. Everyone has grown fond of you and you teach them about the different kinds of powers you have. You'd often have sparring sessions with Bela in order for her to brush up her skills. Majority of the time its been her catching you. For her “personal reward” she’d take a bite out of your flesh, blood, whatever she wanted to do with you. But today's sparring session, not this time you think to yourself as you navigate through the castle.

"Nowhere to run demon mea," Bela teases as you navigate through the dungeons

"Yeah?" You taunt back, "There'll be nowhere to hide once I get you!"

From the shadows you could hear a swarm of flies form around you. You could feel Bela's presence, she hasn't even touched you and you immediately pin her to the wall, one hand holding her wrists above her head, the other almost clawing her face.

"I got you little princess," you smirk, "I win."

You lean in to kiss her fiercely. She returns the kiss as well. You let go of her wrists and coil your arms around her waist, she digs her fingers into your hair as you begin digging your lips into the crook of her neck. You didn't realize how hard you were sucking her skin until you tasted blood. You hear a moan escape out of her mouth as you suckle on her neck.

"I don't know about me," you say, seductively, "But you are divine."

Your hand unconsciously explores Bela's slim figure. Your hand travels further and further down before you reached a slit in her dress. Before you could even give her the pleasure you've been dying to give her, she lets out a strangled sigh and slaps your hand away.

"Ow! Damn Bela," you growl, slightly upset, "What was that for?"

"You haven't earned that perk yet micul meu demon," she teases, "Maybe tonight my love, during the full moon."

Out of pure arousal, your demon form pops out, your tail wagging. You try to put them away but to no avail.

"Micul meu demon," she whispers into your ear

Blue flames ignite. You force yourself to stop them and control your heartbeat and breathing.

"She's all riled up," Bela continues teasing

"You're lucky I have no willpower to destroy you," you growl

"Maybe you will tonight," she teases again

You watch her disappear into bugs and fly off..

"Bela's really taking a liking to you," Cassandra appears, making you jump, "Oh I made the little demon scared."

"Don't call me little demon Cass," You sigh, "Only Bela can call me that. By the way, shouldn't you be torturing some new plaything right now?"

"I'm waiting for mother to bring in a new one," she says

"Well have fun with that," you sigh, chuckling slightly

Cassandra flies off to who knows where. Daniela is doing god-knows-what. Lady Dimitrescu is in a meeting with the other three houses, leaving you in your thoughts and awaiting Bela to return.

An hour goes by and you haven't seen any trace of Bela.. You become slightly upset.. However, you just decide to go back into Bela's chambers until Lady Dimitrescu calls you for dinner or Bela calls for you. However, as you're ascending the staircase, you could hear Bela's voice. You open a window slightly to see her getting knocked to the ground by a mysterious figure you weren't familiar with.

"Bela!" You call out

You propel yourself from the open window and concentrate your fire power into your legs to reach Bela faster.

"STOP!" You scream

You forward flip and use one foot and attempt to heel the enemy trespasser from injuring Bela further. You missed however, the trespasser launches himself backward as you do the same, guarding Bela. Your demon taking control of you, you growl and snarl.

"Who. Are. You?" Your demon voice and normal voice ask, combined, "What gives you the right to touch what isn't yours?!"

"Oh, my mistake," he only says, "You weren’t around so I didn’t think. And a human plaything claiming that she owns a vampire? Don’t joke with me now kid."

You snarl at the nickname as you were so used to Bela calling you 'My little Demon'. You've warmed up to the nickname and only Bela could call you that.

"I wouldn’t be joking if I didn’t just launch myself from a castle window.” You say

The both of you charge at each other and engage in a fight. You try to yell back toward Bea to get Alcina or even Cassandra. But, each time you were able to turn around, you couldn’t tell her to get out of harms way. Letting your anger get the best of you, you gain the upper hand however, letting one opening in, the enemy elbows you in the stomach and throws you towards Bela's direction.

"Micul meu demon! Are you okay?!" She asks, towering over you, trying to check you out for any severe injuries

You nod, not able to form words from the wind being knocked out of your body. The both of you hear footsteps crunching the snow. Bela becomes her usual terrifying self from when the two of you first met and throws her body over yours, guarding it.

“You keep away from her!" She growls

"And what will you do?" He asks, laughing, "Protect this... Human? HAH! Don't make me laugh! This human isn’t special!"

He kicks Bela in the chin and knocks her away from you. Something in you snapped, what the trespasser did to Bela alone made your blood boil.

"As for you weak 'human plaything' I'll help myself to dinner and-"

Before he could step onto your stomach, you catch his boot with your hand, digging your now black nails and singed arms into its soles. He looks down at you, noticing a bright glow emitting from below him. You were engulfed in blue flames. Your nails and arms singed up to your elbows. The pupils in your eyes had turned into slits and your upper and lower canines sharpened to a point. A tail and two flame like horns appear from your forehead.

"Don't you EVER touch what's mine!" You snarl, your demon voice merging with yours, nearly overlapping your regular voice

You launch him of the ground and elbow his stomach the same way he did to you, only, you elbow a lot hard and into the ground. He coughs out blood as he kicks you out of the way. This unphased you as you no longer feel the pain that had been inflicted on you earlier.

"Damn kid," he coughs, "What's up with you?!"

You only scream at him and charge toward him, footprints being singed onto the ground, melting the snow. Using whatever strength he had left, he slices your arm off, along with a leg, catching you off guard. This gives him the opportunity to launch you back away from him You snap out of your demon frenzy, but still remain in your form to protect Bela.

"決起術 (けっきじゅつ)," you and your demon growl, your newly regenerated hand out toward the enemy vampire. The dismembered leg had also grown back. [Translation: "Blood Demon Art"]

"H-how?! I cut off your limbs.... How are they now grown back?!" He asks demandingly, looking frantically for whatever you were reaching out for

"熱血 (ばっけつ)!!!" You scream, closing your hand, a blue flame exiting from the two ends of your closed fist [Translation: "Exploding Blood!!"]

From across the field, the vampire bursts into a blue flame. Hearing him scream, he begins writhing in pain.

"Who are YOU?!?!" He screams

"An offspring of The Devil," you announce, your human voice comes through, "I protect what's mine!"

"Please just make it stop!!" He yells, "I won't come back and touch her again I promise!!"

"And you never will," You only reply before making the flame ignite further

You watch him burn to a crisp. Watching him become nothing more than ash. You turn to Bela to check on her. When you realized she wasn't moving, you skid across the snowy ground you try to get Bela to wake up.

"Hey hey, come on princess," you say, "Don't you DARE leave me now. Come on speak to me!"

You were practically yelling at that point. You hear other footsteps coming out to your direction and you look up; Alcina comes running out to your direction.

"What on earth happened?!" Alcina asks, "What did you do?!"

"An enemy vampire trespassed through your grounds, Alcina" you explain, "I didn't notice him until I heard Bela crying out for help."

"Where is this trespasser?!" She asks

"I burned him to a crisp," you answer

She looks up at you, in disbelief. However, when you look at her, there was no joke in your voice or expression.

"My daughter wake up," she tries calling out to her daughter

As you watch Alcina try to wake her daughter, it hit you. You know what she needs.

"B-blood, that's it right? You need blood!" You ask Bela, trying to get her to speak

Without thinking, you strip off your leather jacket in an effort to Keep her warm. Not caring about your own body heat, you use your claws to make a scar onto your forearm. You take Bela into your un-bloodied arm as you hold out your bloodied one out above her mouth, squeezing the life out of your arm to have your blood drip. You gently open her mouth just as a blood drop falls into her mouth.

"Come on, come on," you panic

You watch as she begins to writhe and then watching her mouth latch onto your arm, drinking your blood. It was painful, feeling her fangs sink into your flesh, however, for her, you'd endure it. You place your palm under her head to keep her head steady. You couldn't help but smile slight as you continue to watch her suckling on your arm like a little baby. Bela finally gains consciousness and stops feeding on you. Praying she didn't drink too much.

"Micul meu demon" she smiles, her fingers gently dancing across your features

Tears rolled down your eyes as you kiss her unconsciously, regardless if there was now blood on your own mouth.

"How did you-" Alcina asks

"She... Apparently likes the way my blood and flesh tastes," you say, "One of the reasons why your daughter decided to keep me."

You pick Bela up and walk back into the castle with Alcina and her two other daughters waiting for you three in the foyer.

For the first time that night, you could finally sleep peacefully. The both of you were entangled in each others' embrace, wasting the remaining night away. You never expected that you’d be the demon amongst the vampires. It was never a thought to you that of all living creatures, you, a demon of all things, had caught the eyes of a vampire. Maybe being a demon is a blessing...

Jack Bass x Younger!Reader || Oneshot

Title: Bass's.

Notes:

I have no idea when this is supposed to be set. Just go with it.

I have two things to say about Jack in this gif, though. 1. Does he not know how to carry a tray. And 2. I love this statement, here. Its like 'Bart's Dead, Chuck. I can barely contain my joy, Chuck. Its taking all my willpower, Chuck, to keep a monotonous expression. Also Chuck I am carrying a tray, do you see this?'

Plot: Bart Bass decides to be his creepy fucking self (Not that Jack is exponentially better in any way but whatever) towards you, Chuck's best friend- but thankfully, Jack accidentally walks in on the scene and gives you a get out of jail free card.

Good old 'lesser of two evils' shit. I love stuff like that.

Warnings: BART BASS being predatory, and a bit of age difference (You and Jack. I'm going by actors ages though so there's only a, like, 11 year age gap between him and Chuck which is not that bad if you ask me). Sexual references.

~~~

Chuck looks from his phone, that's flashing Blairs name, to you and your big, wide eyes and lips mouthing 'Don't you dare', then to his father quietly tapping away on his phone on the couch a few feet away... then back at his phone.

"Charles- " You hiss, prepared to threaten his very existence but he cuts you off first- slipping off the bar stool beside you and heading for the hallway.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom."

Why am I friends with him again!? You think, but stay quiet and hope that Bart doesn't realise that you're back there despite having said hello to you earlier when he came in. You think, if you stay quiet like a mouse, he will forget your existence and keep texting until Chuck gets back- although, who knows how long he and Blair can go on for.

Depends what its about, honestly. If its about revenge or espionage... well, the conversation could last quite some time.

Should I just leave?

The impulse to run away is a strong one, as you sit there with your cheeks heating up and you start to feel nauseated. You never liked Bart Bass, from the moment you met him. Before that, actually. You had heard Chuck talking about him to Nate before you even became friends with them, and none of what you heard was good. And then you did meet him, one day when Chuck invited you over to do a school project. Or 'school project' as he so obnoxiously put it. You really did end up just doing a school project, though. Hence your friendship nowadays. Bart was creepy towards you even then, at 16 with terribly died hair and the wrong eyeshadow.

You've been very careful since then to never be alone with him like this. You would talk to him at parties if you were forced to, say hello to him when Chuck had you at his place and the man walked by, but that is the extent of your communication with the creep. Always, always, someone would be around. Chuck, mostly. But also staff, or Nate, or random fundraiser ladies, or Jack who Chuck the bastard never left alone with all willy-nilly like this, unfortunately, or Lily, or literally anyone else possible on the earth.

You've even hidden away in the men's bathroom, which is disgusting no matter how expensive the restaurant, with Nate before to get away from this man when Chuck once ditched you both at a dinner with him. And that's the story of how you got your first kiss, too, and it was from Nate Archibald. Hell yes.

That's how much this man makes you want to grab your bag and flee.

But you don't. You stay glued to your seat, super still, listening only to the tap-tap-tapping noises that Bart makes and the bump-bump-bump noises your heart is making right into your throbbing ears.

Until it stops.

Not the bump-bump-bumping, oh no. The tapping. And, nightmarishly, it's replaced by a groan and footsteps coming towards your turned back.

"Y/N," As soon as he says your name, his hands fall on your your shoulders and you literally jump under his touch. Shit- Shit- Fuck- what's happening- "I've been meaning to speak with you recently but Chuck- ah. Well you know him. He refused to share with me your telephone number. But I knew you'd turn up here at some point, so not to worry."

"Uh... right." You cant even force yourself to be your normal, cheery, polite self in this position. You just want him to get. off. of. you.

"Did you want a drink?" He asks, in that possibly cheery (But only because its slightly louder then his usual husk level) but mostly still scary voice he uses to convey emotion, letting go of you thankfully and rounding to the other side of the bar. You shake your head, though. He raises his brows, picking out a scotch for himself. "You don't drink? Shocking, seeing as you're friends with my son."

Oh I drink. You think, giving him a shrug. Just not in situations like this one. Also, what must he think of Chuck? Jesus Christ. For sure, your boy likes debauchery but what's wrong with that?

"Well, I like that." Bart pauses before pouring his drink, to appreciate you. "Mature."

Damn it. It makes your skin absolutely crawl.

"So... " You take a deep breath, tucking your hair back behind your ears rather then ruffling it back like you usually would to get it out of your face- lest that be recognised as some kind of extremely subtle form of flirting. God, fear makes you think weird things. "What did you want to discuss?"

"Oh- Just, your future. Where are you going to school? Will you be sticking close to us?"

Us? US? No, I'll be far far away, from you.

You don't really want to tell Bart where you're going to be going to school, because in your fear addled brain you know that that will just lead to 'Which campus?', or 'Where will you be staying?' and you really don't want it to go there.

You're just taking another, shakier deep breath, when the front door of the apartment opens and shuts loudly and set of feet trample down the hallway towards you. Immediately total relief plashes over you and you wipe your face. Oh, thank god.

Jack Bass appears in the doorway to the living room, looking as put-together yet somehow simultaneously still totally relaxed, as always, and forces aa polite smile onto his handsome face. "Brother. Y/N? Its good to see you."

You have no idea. "Good to see you too Jack. Uh- Chuck's in the bathroom."

"Thanks. For that... enlightening, information, Y/N. I needed that." You cheeks flare up in embarrassment, but ultimately you just roll your eyes as Jack flashes you a subtle wink, and turns promptly to his - much, - older brother. "Bart."

The older brother in question looks less then pleased at his baby brothers appearance in his home. Right now. And he possibly isn't thrilled about that little wink, either. Like you two are in on some kind of joke together. "Jack... What are you doing here?"

"Simmer down, bro. Just visiting." Even you know that that excuse is weak, but anything that comes out Jack's own monotonous voice right now is blessed where you're concerned so you certainly don't say anything. Or make any faces, which would be more appropriate. "Y/N, I don't think Bart-man here's too happy about my presence." Hm, no. You'd have to agree with that observation- not that you've looked up at Bart since Jack came in. You wont risk it. Jack glides through the room with the practised grace of a man who's lived 3 quarters of his life in suits and the other, happier quarter in board shorts, and ends up right next to your chair, an arm resting on the bench in front of you.

If you weren't already so nervous about Bart, you would blush about Jack.

"At least tell me you're glad to see me."

You grin, which is less forced then you thought it would be prior to trying it. Damn, he's good. You think, realising he just swepped in here and made you comfortable in less then 50 words. "Always, 'Uncle Jack'."

"Oh," He groans, like it physically pained him to hear you tease him like that. A tiny smirk even slips through his usually emotionless - well, not emotionless. He has one standing colour, that being sly, - stone statue of a face. "'Uncle Jack'- Please, stop. I'm barely a decade older then you."

That's enough to make anything else possible, inappropriate. Unfortunately. "Hey, I said I'm glad to see you." You wink, a bit sly yourself. "Count your blessings."

His grin widens a bit, like the dangerously charming Cheshire cat-type that he is. Genes that Chuck inherited, clearly, if his track record with girls say anything at all, but that Bart obviously missed out on. "You've got a point."

"She's a remarkable young woman." Bart pipes up, making your stomach tie itself up in knots again, and you immediately revert your gaze to your lap. Remarkable young woman... you want to barf. "Who, I was actually having a conversation with before you burst in here, unannounced." He takes a slow sip of his drink, then mutters. "And uninvited."

"Well that's great." Jack straightens up, clapping his hands together and finally showing his teeth in a smile. They're really freaken white, compared to his skin, deeply tanned by the hot Australian sun. "A visit would be kinda uncomfortable without a conversation; I'll join. I can converse with the best of 'em, Bart. I assure you."

"It was private." The old man sneers, thinking that he's got the upper hand on Jack, and all you can do is hope to god that he's wrong.

Jack turns his head back to look at you, and you meet his gaze tentatively. Your eyes scream, 'Please don't leave me alone with that guy'. He promptly looks back to Bart. "Well Bart why don't we ask the lady in the room what she wants? We are gentlemen here aren't we?" Then Jack makes a face, all crumpled up and unsure, for a moment. "Err. Well actually... 'gentleman' might be a bold faced lie. We'll ask anyway. Y/N! Do you mind if I weigh in here?"

"Not at all." You say quickly, flashing a tiny, thankful smile. He gives you another wink- this time actually subtle. So Bart didn't see it. Your smile gets a little bit bigger, relaxing. He's got you.

"Great." You watch him pull out the stool beside you, that Chuck - who has still not returned from his phone call with Blair. You assume some, likely cruel vengeance must be involved. Possibly involving that Humphrey guy, - had vacated and settles down in it. He then sets his arms firmly on the bench and looks up attentively at Bart, not breaking eye contact with him. Boy these Bass's like their stare downs. "So?" He prompts, expectantly. And a little arrogantly- a Bass speciality that you truly don't mind at all. "What's on the agenda, today?"

Bart glares heatedly, back.

Throughout the awkward discussion between the three of you, which your good friend Chuck has yet to return to discover - at this point you're resigned to him having climbed out the window and scaled the building probably, - , Jack constantly, skilfully changes the subject for you whenever Bart rears to close to somewhere uncomfortable. He makes jokes that make you laugh, he nudges you with his elbow at times - but never touches you any more then that, although you honestly wouldn't mind it if he did, - and takes the attention off you a lot. At times you truly thought you saw steam come out of Bart's ears.

When finally Bart gives up and excuses himself, saying he as an early dinner with Lily, you feel exhausted and relieved. After the door swings shut behind him, you cover your face with your hands and deeply sigh.

"So, what was that about? You looked like a trapped mouse. I recognise that look, I invented that look." You pull back slightly from your hands and glance over at him, to see him thoughtful for a moment. "Well, not by making it. By... causing... it... Either way, it was not good." He shakes his head, taking a sip of his own drink - scotch, - that he made Bart pour for him; Raising his eyebrows at you for an explanation over the rim of the glass.

Jack's always been great, like this. Even when he was horrible, he was the lesser of two evils between him and Bart. Good for a laugh and quality eye candy in a pinch- and that counts for a hell of a lot when it comes to surviving Bart Bass and the Upper East Side. And he had the power and pull of an adult, but knew what the hell was going on like one of you.

So he always made you feel at ease.

You ruffle your hair back, and sigh, straightening your back finally from their hunched over position they live in when you're uncomfortable and pushing back your shoulders. "He was just, saying some weird stuff... and Chuck disappeared to talk to Blair." At that, Jack nods in total understanding. Like ah, yeah. Got ya. Finally, you shrug. "He just makes me really uncomfortable. No offence, but I hate your brother."

As you watch Jack's eyes don't even flicker; He's totally on board with what you've said. Then he finishes the rest of his scotch in one gulp. "Ahh- I hate him too."

"As do we all." Chuck's voice suddenly pops up, as he appears in the doorway like Jack had earlier. You have to practice some serious self control so as to not laugh, at Chuck so coincidentally turning up again at the perfect moment to proclaim his hatred for his father. Jack grins back at Chuck coldly, nodding. Yeah. "Anyway, Y/N, I apologise but I'll be having to abandon you. Blair's waiting for me at her, empty, apartment." He pauses for a moment for dramatic effect, in perfect Chuck Bass fashion, and you roll your eyes, grinning. Jack smirks. "But you're welcome to stick around a while and help yourself to the amenities All on my tab, of course. Good to see you again, Jack." Then he pockets his phone and heads toward the door. The second Bass of the day leaves the building.

"Bye, nephew!" Jack waives as the elevator doors close behind Chuck then swiftly turns around back to you, to which you raise your eyebrows. "So, what do we do now?"

"I dunno." Shrugging you grin and turn your stool to angle your legs towards Jack. "When Chuck says those magical words 'All on my tab'," Those words, oh; You speak them with just as much raw, breathy sexual arousal as the man himself would. As the words demand. 'All on my tab'. Good lord, sex if they were words. "I tend to take advantage."

"An easy girl to please; That's what I like to see." Your cheeks flame up at those words out of Jack's mouth as he turns to look down at the room service menu. Yes, Jack Bass has toed the line, between platonic and flirtatious since the very moment you met the man... but that seemed a little bit more then toeing the line.

And you get a far different reaction to him doing it then you do the other Bass brother.

You don't even really mind the implications of his words.

"You're staying back with me?" You ask, feeling hopeful at the idea.

"Yeah well, I cant in, uh, good conscience," He makes a bit of a show to you, of pressing his hand to his chest totally earnestly as those words 'good conscience' come out of his mouth. "leave you here unguarded in case Bart comes back, can I? Besides, the way you said 'All on my tab'- man, you could sell moonshine at an AA meeting with that voice."

"Ha," You laugh, rolling your eyes and shaking your head. "Well, thanks."

"Oh. Don't thank me. You're just using what uh, your mama gave you. I actually encourage you totally, to do that more often- "

"No!" You exclaim, sighing in exasperation; But there is still a smile on your face you cant seem to shake. "For not leaving, today. When you walked in. It would've sucked if you had, not that I would've blamed you at all."

"Hey, just call me your knight in shining armour." He doesn't look up from the menu, flicking through it. Then turns to you with one of those beach boy/politician, toothless grins of his. "Besides you were automatically, my favourite person in the apartment. I mean, anyone with... uhhh- different, appendages to what I have, instantly gets a one-way ticket access to my rare bouts of chivalry. Now come over here, pick out what you want off here."

You just gape at him and that comment, making him stifle a laugh and return to the menu himself.

Bass's.

Alright curious anon here. All this is /dsmp /rp from here on out unless otherwise specified and is refering to characters. If i make any mistakes or am misinformed please let me know! So by the cat was nothing compared to mushroom henry i was meaning more toward the fact that the cow was killed as a punishment for something not worth or ok for it to be killed for at all and the fact that it belonged to tommy, wheareas the cat was killed more to annoy dream and belonged to tommy. (1/?)

alright then another lengthy reply, here i come! /lh /dsmp /rp

Dream also did not seem to mourn the cat much, shrugging it off with a "just more motivation to break out".

it was killed to hurt dream, not to "annoy him". it doesn't matter who it belonged to, c!dream was attached to it and it died, which had an effect on him and also further proved his point about attachments being weakness and caring getting you hurt, and it's still very sad.

you say that it was not ok at all to kill mooshroom henry, but the cat's death wasn't ok either, so i really don't see your point.

again, i disagree it was "nothing compared to" either way. i never meant to compare them in the first place, i was simply talking about the cat and c!dream so i don't see why it is in any way necessary to drag c!tommy and other dead pets into this. /nm

also, it isn't true he didn't mourn it. he is a very reserved person who doesn't show his feelings much, that's true, but the cat death still changed the way he acted afterwards, as well as the attempts he made to prevent it. he didn't "shrug it off", he yelled about it because he was understandably upset.

You mentioned that propganda was used to make dream seem like a tyrant, could you specify a bjt? Cus im a little confused srry /gen. Because the most i can remember from the lmanburg era at least is him being called a b'tch or other similar insults. You also mentioned how trauma responses can be differet which is true! I agree! Do you have any ideas to what caused dream the trauma?

wilbur would continuously make him out to be some sort of oppressive, tyrannical force, in front of his troops - a prime example of this being the lyrics of the l'manberg anthem itself and the l'manberg declaration of independence.

actually! here's a nice thread about l'manberg's establishment complete with links, timestamps and evidence :]

i also said in my previous post what could've possibly caused it, but since the character intentionally hides his emotions from the public, it would be difficult to see how things really affected him - which is why the way his spiral went is the majority of the evidence that would imply it, however it does make sense within the story as well with what i mentioned last time.

I would like to note that for sapnap at least had reason to leave dream. Some examples off the top of my head are dream leading an angry fundy to sapnap's pets on purpose, resulting in some deaths, dream assisting tommy in burning down sapnap's effiel tower where he got engaged to karl, and dream giving tommy either mars or the other fish at the battle of the lake. Idk about george tho other then the whole mexican lmanburg/el rapids thing and decrowning him

c!sapnap was actually at fault for most of this, and it wasn't really ever betrayal on c!dream's part.

c!dream is a mediator and he wants to stop everyone's conflict - c!fundy was angry because of c!sapnap's actions, and hence it made more sense for c!dream to centre him on c!sapnap's animals instead of running around killing everyone's pets (at that time, all c!dream knew was c!sapnap did something really bad and c!fundy wanted beckerson / mars from him, which were also his and c!george's fish).

c!sapnap was an instigator, and in multiple conflicts during the time as well as before he'd align himself against c!dream. he isn't "loyal" per se, he causes chaos and the reason c!dream helped c!tommy was because, c!sapnap, again, killed his pet. the first l'manberg war and then the 16th are signs of the fact that c!dream and c!sapnap were willing to fight together in actual war, but these small conflicts where c!sapnap continuously picked fights weren't about personal loyalty, nor did they seem to affect their relationship at all.

c!george was never really hurt by c!dream either. the dethronement was him very obviously being a guilt-trippy drama queen, but, well, that's just the character. he had stolen the l'mantree while he was supposed to be the diplomatic figure of the greater smp, which is why c!dream was justified in - very politely, may i mention - taking the duties off of him (seeing as he was also trying to keep him safe and c!techno had already assassinated him once).

Im pretty sure i remember cc!sam stating that his character never canonically physically tortured dream during his subathon but take this with a grain of salt as i am looking for the clip currently. So to the best of my knowledge dream did not have a physical contact trigger during tommy's visit which! I rewatched the vod and dream actually was first to hit tommy and i can give you my full writing downs but 10/12 of the phy-

you never finished this point because you had to go do something, but i'll reply to what is here at the moment (i suggest writing these down before sending next time, or even writing them out wholly before sending a single one could help avoid stuff like this).

i am 95% sure that the reason cc!sam stated this was because people were suspicious he had already been doing what c!quackity was doing after - torture within the storyline itself is associated pretty much only with what c!quackity is doing, so that's what he meant, just to clear up confusion - the starvation or terrible conditions haven't been retconned, but it was direct torture (like c!quackity is doing) people were asking him about.

i never said c!dream had a physical contact trigger at all, i don't think he had that, though he probably will after the torture.

huh, ok, i'm gonna have to rewatch then, but i remember c!tommy punching c!dream a lot and him just telling him to stop and only punching back to get him to stop. trigger or not, getting hit isn't very pleasant, if you know what i mean.

You mentioned tommy stealing dream's armor unprovoked. Do you have the vod or a general idea of the time so i can find it? Like before lmanburg after another event so and so because if you do not have it i can find it but any help is appreciated.

i am pretty sure you can find the video on cc!tommy's channel! there are also recaps of the disc war on youtube :]

I wanna talk a little on why the Final Control Room was so messed up. For starters, with the way the room was designed. It was small, and had labeled, empty chests with each person's name on them as a mockery. The next reason is that its bascially a kill box.

It's fairly inescapble with the stairs being ones you have to jump up, slowing anyone who climbs them down. The final reason it is messed up is that it is shown to have caused every person who died in it trauma. With tommy there are several examples, the time he saw it with techno, the way he refuses to go near it, the exposure trauma, etc. Fundy also appears to have trauma, as when the Red Banquet executions began, it can be seen as him being afraid of dying last again.

It can Be thought as tubbo having trauma because he buries most of his issues and pretends to be ok. Moreover this event took at least one of each person's canon lives, making it the most canon lives lost EVER in a dream smp event. (This is not hate on any of the ccs btw i loved this scene and its one of my personal favorites). Plus the fact Eret's betrayal just literally happened, giving at least Tommy and Wilbur canonic trust issues.

i wouldn't call the chests mockery? it was a trap. people had traps on the smp before. it was a trap in the middle of war, supposed to end said war by killing them all at once rather than individually which would be a lot more bloody and difficult.

i agree c!tommy and other people might have post-war trauma, especially if they were young during the time, but i think that's because the final control room was "messed up", moreso because the war itself was. it all happened fairly instantly as well? i don't think c!fundy would be able to realize he was the last one standing within the two second before he wasn't.

it "can be thought" and it can be interpreted like that but besides c!tommy there isn't much evidence for them "all" being traumatized by the final control room. of course betrayal would spark trust issues, i understand that.

The probation was humiliating in my opinion because dream was Sending tommy anatgonizing messages through out the whole meeting, plus he had to write a review of his day every single day, which fundy mocked him for.

i mean, it was definitely a strike to his pride, but he was being extremely uncooperative so i don't really blame the other members of new l'manberg trying to teach him to listen for once? of course i know c!dream was riling him up, and that should definitely be considered. i don't think it would be as humiliating if c!tommy didn't make it, is what i'm saying.

for the tommy being toxic to fundy? At least for the examples you gave, to me personally they come acoross as either in a meta way being the cc's bantering or in canon being the characters having banter. If you can send the post with the clips so i can read the tone better that would be cool but if not i will try and find em.

no, these were all in canon. canon isn't only when c!tommy is being nice, it's also when he's being a jerk. /lh

the first one was him threatening c!fundy about kicking him out of l'manberg and undermining his self-worth, and the second one was him trying to get c!sapnap to vote for them via bullying c!fundy.

i found these from a transcript focusing on c!fundy's character, so i don't know exactly where the first one is from, but the second one i am pretty sure is from when the elections were starting with the whole cabinet battle deal and all of that.

there are other instances, and all of them are canon. his personality was never being nice or compassionate, so i'm not really surprised? he still cares about the people he cares about and is very brave, y'know. but this part of his personality is definitely a valid reason for people to dislike him.

I hope the exam went well :). Hope u have a great day! (Ps i think theres something called a submission box to send in pictures? Am not entirely sure sry)

it would've gone well but my work-speed is a tad too slow for the schooling system (considering i'm three years younger than my classmates,,, probably that's also a factor) so probably not despite the fact i knew everything and would've aced it if i only had more time. i did as well as i could so i'm not worried about it, but thanks!

i think you're thinking submissions. sadly, i tested it and it doesn't work on anons, so idk how you'd solve that, maybe make a burner account?

Curious anon here one point you may wanna include in the redemption essay is that c!tubbo or c!tommy do not necessarily have to forgive him. What's important is that he recognizes what he did was wrong (exile, beating tommy to death, manipulating them both, etc) and does his best to make amends. Hope this helps! Can't wait to see your essay

it's out, idk if you've seen it yet, and i think i included enough of that so hope it's all good! :)

the mcc update video is out if you are an mcc enjoyer. It's very neat, if you wanna check it out

yeah! i am a fellow mcc enjoyer, saw it already, thanks for telling me though, i'm really hype for today.

Allo curious anon here sorry if the lots of asks bother you. I was just curious if i could share an interesting post i saw today about c!dream :0 (not necessarily negative i think? More of a statement of an often-confused canon)

sure thing! i don't know what you mean by often-confused since, the entire fanbase is very confused always, and often selection bias plays into the perception from both sides, but sure :]

you also sent in a thing for the other anon who said they didn't know what c!dream did that bad; pretty sure they couldn't really be alerted since, not sure if they watch my blog that closely, but i'll summarize your points just in case and add some notes;

the repeated blowing up of l'manberg (in my mind that's largely a positive since i,, despise that country, but fair enough), revealed c!ranboo as a traitor (they seem to be friends so i also,, think that might've been planned between him and enderboo), sent ghostbur away (i don't think c!dream knew it was dangerous for him and wanted to actually hurt him, but idk), participated in fighting against c!sapnap when he killed people's pets (that's only negative against c!sapnap and didn't seem to hurt him much at all), and then the whole vault scene where he was allegedly planning to steal people's things (though saying he would & being stopped beforehand and doing it are two different things, frankly).

so i still agree with the other anon that a lot of the hurt he did "to the entire server" (he only negatively interacted with like,, a half of them) is exaggerated both by the characters and the fandom, but i guess that's a consequence of most people seeing him as a threat to everyone's happiness rather than a complex personality.

Also he was aware of the butcher army going to kill techno but only got involved because he saw an opportunity to get a favor. (As he knew in advance due to him telling techno to get a totem, watching from afar instead of interveing or manipulating tubbo out of it)

i don't understand this at all, i'm sorry. how do you know he only helped techno in order to get a favor? last i remember he was only doing it to protect and strengthen his alliance, and techno came up with the whole favor thing entirely on his own. you might've not watched techno's perspective or their prior interactions, idk, but this really is a misinterpretation in my eyes. /nm

sorry if that is overly dream negative i just wanted to let yall know cus you seemed unaware -curious anon

nah dw, i watch the smp and i watched all of these things happen so, wouldn't say unaware, but thanks.

thinking about it, was there anything stopping kusuo from re-petrifying akechi over and over until he figured things out?

sorry for spelling mistakes haha. if its not major I'm too lazy to reread and catch em all(™)

it never says he has a limit on this ability like that, so if he had been extremely determined to not let akechi find out, he could've kept trying different future outcomes over and over

but would a person petrified experience hunger and thirst while in that state? if so, this would only be possible a day or two without serious negative effects. but from what we've seen, im fairly certain everything about the individual is frozen like that, so I doubt so

of course there was people and noticing akechi's disappearance, and akechi himself nothing the missed time. but if he got the timeline right, then akechi would've never been even entered the room in this instance, as seen by the failed timeline where hes closer with his friends group. thus its a moot point, and making the idea of keeping him frozen longer plausible

considering how the other two espers came to know about his powers, it really makes you wonder why he gave in so easily. kusuo had almost told aiura because he believed its be inevitable, but when he realized his aura was too large to be seen up close, he forfeited, only having to confess in order to save chiyo's life.

toritsuka had found out completely on his own, and by the time he approached saiki, there would have been too many memories to erase them all with his memory alteration, as its stated he can do a minute at a time.

and, interestingly, in the manga there's a whole day between saiki receiving toritsukas letter and him arriving, while in the anime its the same day. saiki is even able to complete his psychometry on the letter. it actually makes more sense in the anime, though, as surely he'd have noticed his glove was missing before a whole day had passed?

anyways, point stands that family is the only people kusuo has completely willingly told about his powers were family members. and yet he gave in so easily to akechi.

something that's striking me as odd is when akechi revealed himself to be someone from kusuo's past, and someone who suspected him of having powers...he did nothing.

as seen on aren's first day, he could've easily had akechi transfer out or just make him stop attending.

sure it might've been suspicious, but a combo of forcing him to transfer out and some memory alteration making him forget kusuo was at PK, that he attended PK, or that he was transferred out strangely, any may have possibly worked.

or better yet, petrify and perform the time leap stunts much earlier, before akechi had such concrete evidence. akechi likely would've responded readily to an invitation over to kusuo's house, and he could've attempted to deal with the problem then.

sure its possible he didn't think about that, but with how covered everyone of kusuo's bases have been throughout the series, I heavily heavily doubt it. and besides, I think there's more to it.

one thing kusuo mentions being happy to have fixed at the end of akechi's time travel arc is erasing the fact his younger self told akechi about his powers.

he regrets this truly as a teenager, but his younger self was a lot more complacent about telling him, up until akechi spilled the secret himself in order to hope for kusuo's protection, but even kusuo acknowledges its normal for people to reach out to those who they know can help

he smiles like this after his confused face fades, and tells akechi about his powers. his younger self didn't have much of a reason to keep his powers from someone he viewed as a friend, and even showed MUCH less emotional repression imo.

but there was one striking reason.

look at how the smile on his face fades each time he recalls what his mother said. he actively wanted to show them his powers, not just akechi either.

his older self acknowledges that akechi felt like a friend to him, which is kusuo speak for he felt they were pretty close friends, considering that the main cast is still mostly classmate or aquintence level at the end of the series according to him.

considering how easily kusuo gives in to telling akechi after his admittedly extensive process trying to prevent this outcome...I'd say, honestly, kusuo still feels the same way about akechi.

he certainly tolerates akechi referring to him by his first name, and even though aiura does as well, im not convinced she'd listen if he even told her off. (tbh, his whole friend group has issues with listening to him, and his mom forcing him on outings isn't helping. but thats a rant for another time)

the day akechi invites himself over, its done merely to hang out, and kusuo is slightly surprised by this.

of course, even akechi has to cheat his way into staying, but kusuo is like that to everyone.

kusuo isn't used to people coming over just to hang out, as whenever the rest of his friends bug him, they need something most of the time. and when the two of them get into betting on the horse races over cake, as frustrated as kusuo gets, id say he enjoys himself. one of the last panels says as much

I hit the image limit, but near the end of chapter 266 his eyes have the sparkle effect they do when he's actually feeling emotions. its so sweet. and during the end of the showdown arc, kusuo repeats to kuusuke the the same phrase akechi said to him after taking the power remover. "I can still be your playmate"

overall, coupled with how easily kusuo gave in to telling about his powers, without even a single death threat to keep akechi silent...yeah, he definitely thinks of akechi as a good, maybe even close friend. even if he doesn't believe or admit it to himself, its true.

thank you for reading i got this in my mind after rewatching the time travel arc, hence the random anime images instead of panels which I can grab more easily as examples lol

Even More Headcanons

Because why not. Buckle in bois

Shockarachnids are never shown collecting scrap like other animals so why do they attack trucks? I think they eat their electrical energy or something

The only (and I mean only) reason everyone seems to become best friends like 5 minutes after meeting is because Ty has never had friends before. He doesn't know the qualifications. These people were nice to me? Friends :)

And after that, they kinda had to stick together because they stood up to D-structs. Who does that?? No one, unless you have a death wish

Remember Ty's "That's gonna hurt tomorrow.... but that's tomorrow" ? shortly before being yeeted off the bridge? I think he was in pain the whole Aquadons episode but didn't wanna say anything.

I think lightning bit bugs are migratory. Either that or they sort of "hibernate" during... whatever qualifies as winter where they live

Reptools raise their young in a communal way. Everyone chips in, especially if something has happened to the parent(s)

The one time Skya and Ace saved the others with the battering ram? Ace would lord that over Waldo (or at least, until they learned it was Ace's fault D-structs knew where to find them in the first place)

The Dumps actually learned from their encounter with the Trux. I mean, we actually kind of see it happen because later on, they're not so rude and self-centered

Tortools are actually quite smart. When freshly hatched, sure, they lack self-preservation instincts, but after we see them assessing complex situations, fighting Scraptools, and even saving Dozer's life. And they're not even close to adulthood yet

There's definitely an argument to be made that the herds the 3 other trux were with in the beginning weren't good herds? They ditched 'em and were never seen or heard from again. But that could also feed into Skya's fierce independence and inability to accept help from others (Drillasaurs)

Honestly I have so much to say about the Volcano episode I don't know where to start...

Something to be said for trauma for sure. So much trauma. And maybe some closure in said trauma, in being able to save this home compared to last time.

Also angry Revvit scary

Other trux (and tools) definitely gossip about the Trux. Why do you think the Ottos and the woodland Reptools heard of them? Garby too. Heck, even in Bridge! By that point, it's less weird rumors/gossip and more "...can you believe these weirdos? Love 'em though."

Dozer is canonically an only-child but I think Blayde is too. And that's why they were so close as kids. I know I talked more about this with someone but can't quite recall...

It actually makes sense that Revvit has never met Slamtools before. If he had, he probably wouldn't have been around to tell the story later.

Pounder was perhaps the most psychotic of the villain gang. Convincing arguments could be made for them all but Pounder didn't actually have a reason to join them? Other than wanting to beat up trux.

Snowblazer and Tops would be friends. You can fight me on this.

The D-bros flashback story definitely seems to paint D-stroy as the victim but I think that's only because he was the one telling it. D-structs didn't want to talk about it but Skrap-it asked and D-stroy used that as an excuse to belittle his brother and bend the truth

Drago and Scoot missed Wrecka when she was helping Garby. Sure they didn't want to help in the beginning, but I bet they missed her after like 2 days or so without her. I think that's how long it was

When Ton-Ton finally got his super fun ball and was making a mess again, by the time they caught it, the ball was kinda far away from the Garage, hence why we never see it again

The different types of tools are likely related. One of the Ottos said the tool who found and hid the diamond bit (of antiquity) was another Otto. But all the designs and the statue were of Rotilian Reptools. So maybe once upon a time, not all Ottos were Hex Wrenchtools?

Installing a supercharger properly (as opposed to just eating it like the scraptors or Garby) gives more efficient supercharger energy and makes it more stable. Improperly installed ones blow out easier and can be unstable

The reason Xee acts... like such a blank slate/know-it-all is because she's socially awkward too. She quite literally admitted to living alone for quite some time.

Not a headcanon but how funny is it that racing is not an uncommon sport? Considering that's their only mode of transportation. The race against the Dumps is kinda just a relay race. Idk, maybe that's just me lol

Also, can we talk about the fact that there are MULTIPLE Dreadtrux??? There's another Dreadtrux mother out there that gave birth to Lil Dread, and there's the egg of the main Dreadtrux. Plus whoever is the father to one or both (assuming they can't reproduce asexually, which is scary too)

In the Ankylodumo Games, when Drago says the "attendance is a little weak this year cuz of the D-bros", he's in part referring to Ton-Ton. Because as far as the others know, Ton-Ton didn't come that year. Not-Not did :)

Anywho, that's all for know (until I post this and spontaneously remember like 3 more right afterwards lol). Up next: Splitter's design. Hopefully.

#dinotrux #headcanon #hopefully this was coherent lol

Ello, it's Cuphead anon here- what are your thoughts on the King Dice and his crew, specifically his crew bcus we all know that Dice is a fan favorite xD. Im asking this cuz i keep seeing people goin ham on their backstories meanwhile the other bosses outside of that are like: 👁👄👁...we EXIST YOU KNOW!

(Not really complaining tho, i could simp for a stack of chips any day-)

Ngl- I was and STILL am guilty of having Dice as a big fave sfdsdghd- I see a dapper object head and boom mind gone lmao.

Also uh?? Damn did I miss the backstory phase of the fandom? The only backstories I’ve seen around were about Dice and Devil- never seen the crew touched;; (except in like- afterstories with the cup bros.) (And damn I feel that- just with the cigar instead dsgdhsgd) But anyway-! Thoughts... mhhh- (btw I interpret that “thoughts” with “headcanons/theories/stuff like that” so sorry if I go on a tangent with some parts djfhdjfk)

-I used to have a theory that the entirety of the casino crew (except Dice) were brought to life by the Devil himself once he decided to fix himself into the casino business. The reason for it is because we don’t see them among the other bosses in the finale: all debtors are free, they have no reason to be hostile towards each others anymore, so why isn’t the crew there as well? Perhaps they were never debtors to begin with, they were just born bound to the Devil. They are irredeemable souls, so once the casino is done- they are done.

-They might have souls, perhaps souls that once belonged to unfortunate folks that couldn’t pay their hellish debt. Such a thing brings moments of deja-vus never lived before or memories that don’t belong to them all among the crew. The way they look is also heavily influenced by the soul that was used to create them, either heaving on the vices or the way they met their demise. -So,, don’t have many thougths about their backstories per se- since I don’t think they had one in the first place eh;;

-This is more in general for all bosses but- I noticed that most of them (the ones who show their irises and/or at least one member of the group bosses) have yellow eyes in some way or another. So I headcanon that anyone that has or had dealings with the devil gets yellow eyes, matching with him. -While all the ones that gave up their souls to the Devil have yellow eyes, Dice’s are green, color of greed. Why? For what I remember my headcanon was that his greed got so strong that almost had him killed (cheating against mafia- or whoever was around those times- wasn’t the best idea) and so, after eyeing a green die on the floor while about to take his soul and casino in exchange of another chance life, the Devil decides to not only mark his soul as his but with the sin itself. Hence the greedy green eyes.

-My absolute faves are Mr. Wheezy, Pirouletta and Hocus Pocus.. oh and Mangosteen! That funky ball lad is cool too dsghsdg. I love Mr. Wheezy style, is simple but to the point, and the fact that his portrait is yet another reference to Cab Calloway already makes it a win for me ohoh. Pirouletta is just beautiful, absolutely love her design and her background is so amazing to look at- them floating hands be hypnotizing. Hocus Pocus... c’mon he is a deranged magician bunny what’s not to love about it? Mangosteen- I used to be absolutely weirded out by them but heck the fandom made them grow on me;;; they’re just a funky 8 ball vibing around, love ‘em.

I just remembered a few headcanons I used to have for a few of them of the crew! Here goes nothin’-! (Note: I like the idea that who has no “real body” gets one when they normally work around the casino. So.. think of them as object heads!) -Mr. Wheezy can light up cigars by simply touching the foot of it with his lips. It’s a trick well liked at the casino. -(Note: I see Chips Bettigan’s body like the one of Mr Oogie Boogie- meaning he is filled with tons of chips-!) Before playing with the others, Chips has to roll up his sleeves and is also closely supervised by the rest all throught the game. This ‘cause he is know to slip a few of his own extra chips to use for betting. It wouldn’t be a problem.. if he didn’t have the ability to swiftly recall them to his body once the game is done.

-Phear Lap and the Conductor (Phantom Express) are buddies. They’re two skeletons of a bone.

-Pirouletta is quite good at juggling. She started with it ‘cause of boredom using the roulette’s marbles and she ended up taking a liking in it.

-Mangosteen is the head of the bodyguards, but when they aren’t on duty they are quite a softie among the rest. Their head is also sometimes used to take stupid decisions (Like c’mon, you got a whole 8 ball and you don’t use it?)

..alright I think I’ve said enough! Hope it’s what you asked ‘cause I ain’t too sure ahahah

#the cloud can speak oh boi #cuphead #headcanons #I was gonna go and try to come up with the backstories of their souls but damn- they a LOT #it was fun thinking back at them tho;;; lowkey miss 'em now ;w;#sobs guess I'll add KD and Wheezy on the list of characters to draw again;;

A look at Amity’s Diary Entries

“I saw that... human girl again. I may have overreacted. I don’t want to come off as cruel, I just... can’t show weakness.” 6/4, 7/4

All right, so we KNOW Amity is capable of self-awareness and self-reflection. Judging by Amity’s use of the word ‘again’, as well as her doubting her previous actions, it’s likely this takes place right after Covention. Amity meets Luz again and after seeing that she’s not such a terrible person, it occurs to her that the whole dissecting and trying to force Luz to no longer practice magic, is not so great.

What intrigues me is that Amity says she can’t ‘show weakness’. There’s a lot to interpret from this line. It could easily be her competitive spirit, nurtured by Lilith and probably her parents. But after what we’ve seen from Edric and Emira, I’m starting to wonder if ‘can’t show weakness’ is because she’s afraid she’ll get ridiculed for it, based on what her siblings have done? Her stand-offish nature may be in part because she’s afraid of being made fun of, taken advantage of, etc.

Later in Lost in Language, she mentions that she doesn’t ‘get’ Luz and can’t figure her out. I wonder if her mixed feelings are in part due to her own, toxic relationship with her siblings? Edric and Emira cite tough love... So to Amity, Luz trying to be nice but also getting her in trouble gives mixed signals that remind her too much of her own siblings. Likewise, maybe Amity wants to give Luz the benefit of the doubt, but she can’t be sure if Luz is truly kind, or just being like Edric and Emira. Hence why she can’t figure Luz out. It’s only after seeing Luz’s actions in direct contrast to Edric and Emira that Amity realizes that, no, Luz is not like them. THEN she verbally considers, out-loud to Luz, that her assumptions may have been wrong.

“It’s not fair. I’m the only one who knows Ed and Em aren’t perfect. Why do they keep getting away with things?” 2/19, 2/20

We know from their sleeves and spells that Ed and Em are members of the Illusion track, and are likely slated to join the Illusion Coven when they get older. Given their trouble-maker personalities, it makes sense. I wonder if the implication is that Edric and Emira, through a combination of charm and illusions, make themselves off to be more well-rounded students and people than they actually are. However, the Librarian doesn’t act surprised to see them as trouble-makers, either.

I wonder if Amity is talking specifically about her parents (possibly only her mom since no mention is made of a father). Perhaps Amity is frustrated that Ed and Em get away with things, while her parents place more pressure and expectation on her? We know that witches can develop magic quicker than others. Did Amity get her magic at a younger age than her siblings, and because of that potential she has pressure placed on her? Or are her parents fully aware that Ed and Em are trouble-makers, but at this point they’ve given up on the twins and decided to ‘invest’ in Amity instead?

“I wish I had somewhere to go.” 1/3

Not sure what the context is here, but it definitely supports the idea that Amity is lonely. Was she left behind by her siblings and stuck at home?

“Why won’t the human leave me alone?!” 19/12

Given the phrasing and annoyance, AND the different date, I’m willing to bet that this entry was actually written during Lost in Language, specifically between Amity’s first and second encounters with Luz. As for the specific date....

The Covention Entry takes place about 6/4, 7/4. It’s possible that these dates mean June 4th and July 4th, but more than likely it means April 6th and 7th. Of course, there’s a big issue with this interpretation;

For starters, it assumes that Demon Realm time and dates are the same as human ones. Even if these WERE the exact dates, all of this show is taking place during summer, when Luz is meant to be at her reality-check camp. Again, I doubt Amity waits an entire month to write a diary entry.

Even if we go by the idea that the Demon Realm’s date doesn’t quite match the human world’s (and besides, time may run differently, and also these dates are just assigned signifiers of time and not the actual process of time), and their April takes place during our June... Look at the dates between Covention and Lost in Language.

There’s 6/4, 7/4... and 19/12. If we go by human standards, that means either about a year across two episodes, or eight months have passed since Covention. Which... is not likely. Maybe the Demon Realm’s time is faster, but I kind of doubt it? I feel like it’d have been mentioned. Also, Luz’s mom contacts her at the end of the first episode, which... If time passes that much faster in the demon realm, implies that in the human world, Camilla waited only a few minutes or about an hour or so, to text Luz about her summer camp. That’s a bit too soon to ask when the day has barely even begun. So, PROBABLY time runs the same between the human and demon realms.

TL;DR The way the Demon Realm dates its time and calendar is different than ours. If we assume everything takes place within three months (or else Camilla would’ve realized Luz was missing), then the numbers could stand for weeks, days... Who knows? Either way I was a bit disappointed to realize we don’t have an exact time period and date for two episodes, but it’s also probably more realistic that way. There’s also the idea that I’m looking too deeply into this as well.

“Called my teacher ‘mom’ again.” 6/6

Not much to see here, a lot of people have made that mistake before. Possibly just a joke on this, or maybe it’s reflecting how much Amity looks up to authority figures and her own parents don’t bring her the guidance she needs? I’m probably over-thinking it. HOWEVER, I will ask this- What if the ‘teacher’ Amity is referring to is Lilith?

“Sorry I haven’t written for a while- Wait. Why am I apologizing?” 10/1

A silly Amity moment of her apologizing to her own diary for not writing. Probably just a joke, but if we want to over-analyze again, could this mean that Amity has a tendency to frequently apologize for things not even her own fault (at least to those she deems as worthy of an apology)?

All in all, a lot of fun to look over and think way too deeply about! I know Luz is right in not wanting to violate Amity’s privacy, but a part of me kind of wanted to read more. I just find Amity to be a really neat and compelling character!

Destiel Chronicles

Vol. LXIX

It was a love story from the very beginning.

I Want You Back (Part II)

(11x16b/11x17)

Hello there! Finally finishing the second part of this meta.

It will focus on the parallel between the entity from the 'Safe House' episode and Amara it’s suggesting. Afterwards we will talk about one of the episodes that were discussed more controversially among us Destiel shippers, I'm talking about 'Red Meat', and I will show you step by step that it is, indeed, a very Destiel one.

Thanks to @destielle for beta-ing this one! She's amazing. Thank you girl! 😘💝

Soul Eater

Let's talk about that haunting parallel I just mentioned.

If you check episode 11x16, there is this entity from that house that ate souls.

RUFUS: A Soul Eater? What the hell is that?

BOBBY: Undead creature that feeds on souls. Hence the name. They exist in a place between our world and… another. Soul Eater moves into a house, and once it does, it makes what the lore refers to as a ‘nest’.

RUFUS: A place that exists outside of time and space.

SAM:The nest looks and feels like whatever house the Soul Eater is in.

The creature created a fake house, like a reflection in the mirror. It’s a fake home in which the entity shows people the souls of the ones they love in different and terrible situations (dead) to keep them under it's dominium. From the moment the seal was broken, the creature attacked again.

SAM: Apparently, the nest messes with their victim's head, shows them things they love, parts of their soul in distress, it keeps the victim's soul vulnerable.

So we have a broken seal, a powerful creature eating souls, a fake reality to keep them dominated, right?

And Bobby saying that he could feel the evil in that dimension…

I think we have the perfect description of Amara here, Dean and Sam broke the sigil, Cain's Mark, and she was released, she eats souls, just like the Soul Eater, creating a fake happiness/reality to dominate the victims/Dean.

Again the writers are showing us that Amara is evil, her dominance over Dean is established through fear.

I think it’s vital to mention that between all the books Rufus and Bobby were reading, there was one with the title "Fallen Angel", it make us recall Castiel and Lucifer with the particularity that they're sharing vessels at that moment. Two fallen angels: one fell due to love and the other due to hate.

Another interesting visual narrative that acted as a foreshadowing, was the soul eater placing a hand on Dean's chest in the same way Rowena will place her hand on him in the last episode of the season where he’ll become a soul bomb.

And now, pay close attention to the following scene, because it’s connected to the next episode (Red Meat).

RUFUS: What'd you see, Bobby?

BOBBY: My boys. Both of 'em. Both of 'em dead. And I saw… well I don't know what the hell I saw.

And…

SAM: Hey, you said the Soul Eater made you see things. Plural. So… what else did you see?

DEAN: I saw you. Dead on the floor.

This was a foreshadowing of Sam laying dead on the floor (well he won’t die, but almost) in the next episode. But it’s A BLATANT MIRROR. BOBBY SEEING HIS SONS DEAD ON THE FLOOR. AND IT’S REFLECTING PURELY FAMILIAL LOVE. A father and his two children who are brothers.

FAMILY LOVE, there's no hint of ROMANTIC LOVE in here, no Wincest! Bobby was actively chosen to pose as the mirror. The writers easily could have used a couple with the husband seeing his wife laying dead on the floor, right? But it was BOBBY who saw his boys on the floor, just like Dean saw his brother. It’s about Family!

Sorry I'm a little bossy here, but I need you to understand this point before jumping to the next one.

Using Logic

Let's analyze episode 11x17 with logical facts…

The mentioning of Castiel at the beginning of the episode is there to remind us that Dean is feeling miserable because they couldn't rescue him yet. And he is not sleeping because of that. Sam is trying to comfort him by saying that they’ll get him back.

The episode introduced Corbin and Michelle, a newly-wed couple very much in love.

Corbin would do anything to protect Michelle (Dean mirror) and he is the one becoming a monster (werewolf), so he’s acting as our Castiel's mirror here.

Sam gets shot, and he has a very bad wound. We have Corbin trying to kill him, because he would do anything to save Michelle, even if that implies making a bad decision.

Now, we have Dean thinking his brother is dead. But keep in mind that WHEN HE ENTERS THE ROOM SAM IS ALREADY DEAD (in Dean’s eyes at leat). So DEAN DIDN'T SEE HIS BROTHER DIE. HE FOUND HIM DEAD, LAYING ON THE FLOOR. (First fact).

Then this… he asks Michelle to assist him in his try to contact Death… but … he also says this ..

Dean: Okay. After I do this, go get the doc and tell her to, um... Tell her to bring me back, if she can. If not... no hard feelings, okay?

He is not suicidal here, THIS IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO EPISODE 13X05 WHEN HE WANTED TO DIE, NOT WANTING TO LIVE BECAUSE CAS WASN'T ANYMORE. Even knowing Sam was dead, Dean wanted to live. GIVING YOUR LIFE FOR YOUR BROTHER DOESN'T COUNT AS A SUICIDAL THOUGHT, BUT INSTEAD AS SOMETHING ANYONE WOULD DO FOR THEIR BROTHER, especially when that brother is your little brother you raised yourself like a father. (Second Fact).

Dean wants to be alive because he needs to rescue Cas.

Billie: That's what I thought. It's cute, though. You pretending you're trying to save Sam for the greater good, when we both know you're doing it for you. You can't lose him. But even if Sammy could win the title bout... the answer would still be “no.” The answer will always be “no.” Game's over, Dean. No more second chances. No more extra lives. Time to say bye-bye to Luigi, Mario.

This sums up perfectly how Dean feels about Sammy. He raised him, he always took care of him. He can't lose him because all his life revolved around Sam. This is not Wincest, this is solely FAMILY LOVE. Remember what we said about Bobby a little earlier, these were Bobby's feelings too.

I will put here an addition from Destielle, she talked about the well known toxic codependency, and i think is important too:

"Billie basically calls out the toxic codependency between Sam and Dean here. ‘You’re doing it for you’ she deadpans. It’s more about Dean fulfilling the task, or rather duty, John gave him so early on, that it’s part of Dean’s personality. An automatism. He doesn’t want Sam to live because it was Sam’s wish, but because Dean needs Sam to keep things the way they always have been as so not having to deal with himself."

Is interesting because John Winchester heritage to Dean was the GUILT and the FIRST BORN duty, so practically, he keeps reacting and acting like a soldier that needs to protect the little brother and the entire world, I talked so many times in My metas about this toxic heritage and about THE BIG PROTECTOR living inside Dean. Interesting comment my friend! Thank you!

Dean’s spirit [sadness and desperation in his eyes]: I'm asking you... I'm begging you, please. Bring him back. Bring him back and take me instead.

DEAN WINCHESTER WILL ALWAYS GIVE HIS LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR THE ONES HE LOVES BECAUSE HE IS DEAN WINCHESTER. NOT JUST FOR SAM, BUT FOR THE WORLD, AND CAS.

Billie: I'm not here to bargain with you, kid. I'm here to reap you. And the kicker is... Sam's not dead. [Dean looks stunned] But you are. Or will be, soon enough.

Now… let's go with Michelle and Dean's conversation… the third fact:

Dean: Michelle, this is gonna be very hard. But you will be okay. And, eventually... eventually you'll get back to normal.

Dean is talking from experience. Drawn from every time he lost a friend, a family member (including Sam) which he always affronted in the same way, by hunting, drinking heavily and stuffing bacon in his face. It always was hard at first but got better with time until he got back to normal. He's talking with determination because he lost a lot of beloved people. But … he hasn’t lost the love of his life yet… Michelle did…

Gif set credit @thejabberwock 👇

Michelle [sighing]: No, I won't. They said I could leave... [she sighs] an hour ago. But... where am I even supposed to go? After everything we survived together... [turning back to Dean] I watched the man I love die. There's no normal after that.

This is a rich piece of text over there. First of all, she's convincing Dean she won't be back to normal. Ever. She's the one talking with authority now, because she's talking from her experience of losing the love of her life… 'where am I even supposed to go?' SHE'S LOST, Just as lost as Dean will be for the first 5 episodes from season 13. 'After everything we survived together…' these words are carving deep into Dean's heart, because the man he loves is in danger in the very moment, and I know he's recalling everything they survived together. 'I watched the man I love die, there's no normal after that', Dean's face is priceless here, full of fear, he doesn't want to go through the same Michelle has and had to. He doesn't want to watch Cas die. And I want you to remember the first fact I pointed out, MICHELLE IS SAYING SHE WATCHED CORBIN DIE, not that she found him dead. Okay? So we are not talking about a reference to the death of Sam here. Dean didn't watch him die, he found him dead. And secondly, Dean knows Sam is okay by now, so why would he display a face full of pain and fear? Who's the one in real danger now, possessed by Lucifer? CASTIEL. DEAN DOESN'T WANT TO SEE CASTIEL DIE. HENCE THE TERRIFIED EXPRESSION.

AND THAT'S WHY IN THE NEXT EPISODE HE WILL FIGHT AGAINST RATIO, AGAINST WHAT’S THE LOGICAL THING TO DO, JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE THE MAN HE LOVES DIE. Sorry for the yelling. But I needed to make things clear.

To Conclude:

The Soul Eater in episode 11x16 is a blatant mirror of Amara. Another way to show us her dominance over Dean is a forced and dark one.

Episode 11x17 must be analyzed with logic. The clues are in the details and related to the previous episode in which Bobby saw Sam and Dean dead. It was purely about FAMILIAL LOVE and it must not be mistaken for something else because that just would be a twisted interpretation.

Dean giving his life in exchange for the one of EVERYONE shouldn't be mistaken for suicidal tendencies, too.

The fact that he wanted to go on with his life EVEN THOUGH BEING CONVINCED SAM IS DEAD is an important difference to how Dean is behaving in 13x05.

We have the foreshadowing for Castiel's death and Mourning!Dean and a prelude to 11x18 where we’ll have a very desperate Dean trying to save his angel.

Hope you liked this one! See you in the next meta!

Ahhh okay. Here we go. This is going to pick up where Darlin left off, give or take a few days so... if you haven’t read that, you might want to stop everything and go click on the link above and do that. I’m a little excited right now, because I purposely ended that one-shot on a cliffhanger. Because I wanted to try this so... Here’s to hoping it doesn’t flop.

↱ pairing ↲

adam hangman page x ofc! rosalie.

↱ summary↲

Adam and Rosalie shared a night together. A night that neither one of them can forget and yet, neither one of them seem to be able to talk to the other about. Between their own personal issues, backstage gossip and other awkwardness, will they eventually find their way together?

↱ warnings↲

I switch back and forth between first and third person (first=rosalie and third=hangman) and I realize that can be jarring for some, so I thought I’d warn you about that now... Now on to the actual warnings you need to be aware of...slow burn. angst. two stubborn fucking people both going through their own issues. alcohol mentions. probably smut at some point, idk. for now, that’s all I got.

ONE

[ ROSALIE]

I could feel Adam’s eyes on me, but like I’ve been tending to do lately, I trained my eyes intently on my Instagram app. I was only half listening to what Swole was saying at this point and I think she knew it, because she cleared her throat to get my attention as she nodded in Hangman’s direction.

“What?”

“Did you talk to him?” she gave me an expectant look as she licked the pudding off her spoon and I dropped my head, sighing quietly. “What do you think?”

“I think that if you don’t at least say something, you’re never gonna know.”

“And maybe that’s the way it should be, Swole.” I shook my head as I picked up the bottle of water sitting to my left and sat my cell phone down.

Sonny Kiss flopped down into the chair next to mine and took one look at me before bursting into laughter and shooting Swole a look. “She still hasn’t said anything.”

“Did you really think she would?” Swole scoffed at Sonny, shooting me a playful dirty look. “That man is over there suffering right now, girl.”

“It’s got nothing to do with me though. Besides, look at me!” I shook my head, picking at my salad as I lowered my voice and finished, “I’m a goddamn mess.”

“I swear to God, if one of them doesn’t bring up what happened soon, I’m taking matters into my own hands and shoving them in a closet together.” Thunder Rosa spoke up from her spot at the table.

All I could do was open and close my mouth, trying to stammer out something in my defense. There wasn’t anything, no excuse I could offer to justify not attempting to find out what the other night meant to Adam, if it even meant anything at all. I just simply couldn’t bring myself to do it.

To hear it one more time. And this time from someone who’d managed to get deep under my skin. Who now lived in my head -and my heart, totally rent free.

I knew I’d never be able to handle hearing the whole “it’s not you, it’s me” shtick again. And I knew that Adam Page was a far better man than I could ever hope to even come close enough to being worthy of.

“So you’re a mess. I mean… He’s been a train wreck too, as of late.”

I gave Thunder Rosa an evil look almost as soon as she said it, but I found my gaze drifting off her and settling on him. Sitting alone in the corner of catering. It took everything in my power not to get up and go over to him like I wanted. But somehow, I managed to keep from doing it.

“I know! And that’s probably the only reason he stooped to hook up with me! Guys, look. I love all of you but the facts are the facts...Sometimes, things just happen. Me hooking up with Adam last week? He was in a bad place. We know he never would’ve done it otherwise. Kinda sucks because we all know how I felt about it happening. I love the guy. And I just…” I trailed off because I’d been about to remind myself for the millionth time that it was ridiculous, we barely spoke. And he probably didn’t know my actual name, hence the reason he referred to me as darling the entire time. It wasn’t a term of endearment, but more likely, a way for him to distance himself from what was happening. A placeholder name because given how fast we got to that stage, it wouldn’t exactly have been anything short of awkward as hell for him to stop and ask my damn name.

I was determined. It was drilled into my brain. That night probably didn’t mean anything to him. He was lonely, hurting and I was a comforting warm body. We’re both consenting adults, sometimes things happen that way. God, did I not want it to be true. But, I was trying to really hammer it in my brain that more than likely, it was true.

“I mean I beg to differ, but go on, Rosalie. Show your whole stubborn ass, girl.” Sonny insisted, giving a snort and shaking their head at me. Thunder Rosa glanced from me to someone just behind me and as she grumbled and continued to stare behind me, my stomach churned.

“Well, if you didn’t want word getting out, that’s probably not gonna be a possibility anymore. Especially the part about you being in love...”

I felt my stomach starting to churn and I dropped my head to the tabletop, lightly banging it against. “Seriously? Who heard it?”

“Oh, only Matt fucking Jackson.” Swole rolled her eyes as she told me who’d been eavesdropping.

“Well that’s just fucking splendid.” I grumbled quietly, biting my lip as I watched Matt walking across catering towards his brother Nick. He winked at me before whispering something into Nick’s ear and if I thought my stomach was churning before, whew.. It was really churning now.

“Welp, that settles it. Time to look into selling a kidney. To buy a private island.” I tried to make a joke out of the situation, standing abruptly and gathering up my wrappers and the empty water bottle. Bracing myself to walk right past Matt and Nick’s table on my way to the bin.

And then Adam’s table on my way out of catering.

I’d just thrown away my trash and turned around, finding myself body to body with Matt.

“What?” I eyed him, trying my best to play casual. Pretend like I wasn’t fully aware he’d overheard my dirty little secrets. He eyed me up and down, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

“Just find it interestin’ is all.”

“What?” I rolled my eyes, attempting to make a step to the side and get the hell away from him.

“You and Hangman.”

“What about it? Look, if you’re about to be sleazy, just know that Adam and I were a one time thing. And I do not intend to repeat what happened with anyone else. Especially not you.” I took a deep breath as I finished speaking, my body tense and prepared for battle. I know how men like Matt are when their ego gets a little wounded.

He pouted a little, leaning in closer. “Oh? But you were just sayin you loved the guy. I was just thinkin… If he’s not into you, darlin.. Maybe you could give me a shot?”

“What I said is precisely why I wouldn’t bother with you.. I’m not into flings, thanks bye.” I snapped at him as I gaped up at him in disbelief. I shoved past Matt with my ears burning, not daring to look anyone else in the eye on my way out.

“You know you’re curious, sweetheart.” Matt taunted after me. I didn’t even bother dignifying the remark with a comeback because honestly, I was just still seething from the audacity of the guy to even say it to me.

Adam and I collided hard. He reached out to steady me and like an idiot, I shrank away, flinching a little because I was still unnerved by Matt’s whole attempt a few seconds before. Staring up at him a second or two, willing my brain to work.

The second I saw his eyes darken and get stormy, I swallowed hard.

,, welp, that confirms it. Guy can’t even look at me without being disgusted.” I thought to myself, taking a deep breath, muttering quietly, “Sorry, I.. I was in a hurry.”

“Yeah, I can see that, Rosie.”

Him actually using my name and not simply settling for Darlin’ had a little flicker of hope daring to spring to light. It was hope I quickly dashed. Nope, not likely.

Those baby blues were fixed on me and I felt my thighs clench all over again. My mouth opened and closed too. I couldn’t think of anything to say that wouldn’t make everything so much more awkward than it was just leaving it be like I had been.

“I.. I have to go.” I pushed past him and hurried out of catering, down the hall and into the hair and makeup room. I leaned heavily against the wall, taking a few shaky breaths. There was so much I would’ve said if I hadn’t left in a hurry. Everything I felt, everything I wanted and needed, it had all been literally a breath away from spilling out.

[ ADAM ]

,, Well, that’s that.” Adam sighed as the thought came, shaking his head sadly. He’d been trying for a little over a week now to get her to herself because someone had to mention what happened. It obviously wasn’t going to be her.

And if the way she flinched back at me a few seconds ago is anythin’ to go by,” Adam thought to himself, “She doesn’t want me to bring it up either.”

Just the thought ate him up. It added to everything else already happening, everything that was spinning too far out of control for him to even attempt fixing now.

He flopped back into the seat he’d been sitting in and propped his head against his hands, eyes closing tight.

There had to be some way out of all this.

He really couldn’t stomach the possibility that he was going to lose everyone. Her, before he even really got a chance to have her like he wanted. All to himself.

,, figures, she agrees with the rest of ‘em. Well, fuck it.” the intrusive thought crept in and Adam fought to keep it out.

But lately, it was getting harder and harder to fight these pesky little intrusive thoughts. He was starting to resign himself to the fact that everything about his current situation in life was fucked 10 ways to Sunday and he was starting to realize that while his friends may have set it in motion months ago, he certainly hadn’t helped matters only.

Finishing his bottled water, he stood and made his way over to the garbage, tossing the bottle in. He didn’t particularly care to stick around. Making conversation with any of them seemed a bit of a moot point now. He didn’t even begin to know where to start, making things right with his friends.

And Rosie? Still a huge goddamn mystery to him.

He felt like they might have connected that night backstage. But then she made herself damn near invisible. And she was nothing if not good at it, too. And asking around didn’t help anything. Asking around only seemed to highlight the fact that nobody actually knew her.

All he wanted was one chance. One shot to explain that if he didn’t already want her so badly he could feel it in his bones way down deep, that night never would’ve went down between them. That he hadn’t just been doing it as a heat of the moment thing. That she hadn’t just been a source of comfort that night.

He spotted Sonny on his way out of catering and he stopped them.

“How well you know Rosie?” Adam asked the question cautiously, eyeing Sonny intently, hoping maybe he’d get some form of answer he could work with. Anything right now would be nice. Because right now, he was officially out of ideas. ,, aside from the obvious one, goin up to her and demandin to talk. Because of course, that’s outta the damn question. I can’t handle hearin’ here politely tell me that night was a one time thing when I want it to be more than that.” Adam thought to himself as he shuffled his feet, waiting.

Sonny eyed him, a hand on their hip as they did so. “Well enough to say that if you don’t say something first, nothing will ever be said, Page.”

With that said, Sonny turned on their heels and walked out of the area, leaving Hangman to stand there, his hand against the back of his head as he tried to figure out what his next move was.

,, If I even bother with one. That flinch ought t’ be my answer. People don’t flinch without a damn good reason. The reason was obviously me. She regrets it. I need t’ leave it alone. Let her be.”

[ ROSALIE]

The door banged shut to hair and makeup and I caught sight of Thunder Rosa making her way in, flopping down into my hair and makeup chair again.

“Girl, that new guy in Lights. He asked for your number again.”

“Yeah, no.. He wants a hook up. God knows I’ve made enough of a mess lately.”

“And you’d only sleep with a co-worker if you really love them. Like Adam?” Rosa teased and I grumbled at her, shrugging. “I never said that.”

“You don’t have to! You’re a shitty liar and you can’t hide anything to save your life. The only thing saving your skin is the fact that the poor guy has a ton of baggage heaped on him right now.”

“Speaking of… That interview with Tony earlier.. Is he okay right now?”

“You’d know if you’d fucking talk to the man.”

I rolled my eyes and sighed. The sting of the words he said about himself earlier came rushing back all over again.

“I feel like from head to toe, I’m full of poison.”

No matter what I tried, I couldn’t un-hear the words. And all I’d wanted to do when I heard him say it was go to him. Show him that he wasn’t.

I kind of have the feeling that right now, he’d never believe me. And it bothers me.

And the fact that it bothers me bothers me even more.

I grumbled at myself in frustration all over again as I dug around in my kit, getting out the stuff I used to do Rosa’s lashes and the other makeup she’d need to paint the half of her face and I sighed.

Yeah, I know everyone is right. I should talk to him. But here’s the thing. I fucking can’t. I’ve literally been outside of his hotel room. A speech all prepared in my head. About to knock on the door.

And then all I can hear is everything I’ve ever heard out of anyone else when I dare hope that maybe just once I’ll be enough.

Or all the stuff my ex liked to say to try to keep me with him.

Once that stuff gets in your head and it fucks with you, it never entirely stops. And I know that even if I had him, my own insecurities would probably drive him running for the hills if nothing else did first.

“You know that doing this is letting Jonny win..Right? The only out is through. You need to work through all this stuff in your head that keeps insisting you’re not worth it for somebody.”

“Did you just shrink me, Rosa?”

“I call it like I see it.”

“And all I’m saying is that maybe.. Throwing myself headfirst into… this.. Is not the best idea for either of us right now. I had him, okay? For one night, I had him. If that’s all I get, that’s all I get.”

“But you could have more. You could talk to the man. You could work through whatever happened. Because I don’t think he’d just fucking sleep with you if he didn’t want you already, okay? He’s not exactly like the other jerks we work with.”

“I know.”

God, did I know. His being completely different than other men was what drew me to him. Because he wasn’t

He stood out among all the douche bags and dogs that seemed drawn to me like a magnet. For whatever reason, the calm I felt whenever he was around was almost overwhelming. It terrified me because I hadn’t ever felt it before.

It made it entirely too easy for me to just let go. Take the risk of opening up all over again. Something I hadn’t done in so long that now, faced with the desire to do so, I was actually terrified of doing it.

“It’s driving you crazy, Rosie. Either you do something about it, or you let a shot pass you by. I thought you were the kind of girl who doesn’t scare easily.”

“This is different.” I emphasized my point and gave a pleading look, hopeful that maybe she’d leave the situation alone. But no, of course not. She pressed further.

“No, it’s stupid, that’s what it is.”

And yeah, I knew she was right. It was stupid. And I did want to say something. I couldn’t keep avoiding the guy. But damned if I knew how to go about bringing up what happened between us, let alone anything else I might want and need to ask him.

Besides, the way he looked at me earlier in catering hadn’t exactly inspired any confidence to do so.

“At least think about it.”

“I am. Constantly.”

“I can’t with you.”

“I can’t with myself right now, honestly. I really went all out with this one, huh?” I laughed and shook my head as I sank down into a chair and took a few deep breaths. “It doesn’t have to be this damn dramatic.”

“Exactly!”

‘But then I think I have the nerve to talk to him and I think of a million and one good reasons not to.”

“Damn it, Rosie.”

“I just… I need time. I need to ease into this.”

The door was knocked on and Rosa and I shared a look. I stood and made my way over, throwing it open. MJF stood there, that little smirk as he eyed me up like a piece of meat. I scowled at him.

“What the hell do you want, Max? Was my not unless hell froze over not clear enough?”

“Oh.. it was clear. But here’s the thing.. I refuse to believe it.” Maxwell stepped into the room and I grumbled, flipping off his turned back after rolling my eyes skyward.

Did anybody backstage know how to keep their goddamn mouth shut?

“See. I heard something interesting about you.” Maxwell held my gaze, a calm smirk playing at his lips as he looked me up and down. I could feel my stomach churning already and honestly, it took everything inside of me NOT to just reach out and strangle Maxwell... First Matt, then him.. Because obviously, Matt’s been running his mouth about what he just heard, that has to be it... I reminded myself, taking a deep breath as I tried to calm down.

“Oh yeah?”

“I heard you actually did get mixed up with somebody back here. Contrary to what you told me.. You know, that crap about not mixing business with pleasure.”

“See, here’s the thing, Maxy boy. I never said I considered… anything… involving you… Pleasure. So… there’s that.” I pointed to the open door and he eyed me, rubbing his chin. “You’ll wind up giving in. Everybody does.” I stood taller, giving a firm glance to the door before glaring up at him and tapping my foot. All I wanted was Maxwell to get the hell away from me. I mean.. Sure that was tied with the firm desire to find Matt Jackson and punch him in the cock because somehow, he must have been running his mouth and now, naturally, my personal business was all out there for the world to know, but hey.. Getting Maxwell the entire fuck out of my sight was up high on that list.

“Pretty sure I’d rather bind my legs shut with molasses first. Are you done making an entire ass of yourself? Because I’d really like to get back to my actual job.” I rolled my eyes and again, I pointed at the door. The guy had three seconds and I was going to let my inner bad bitch out to play. Lucky for me, Maxwell seemed to finally take the hint and he made a retreat, eye-fucking me one last time on his way out the door.

Once the door was closed behind me, I leaned against it and lightly beat the back of my head against. “I swear to God, this is… Why am I the kind of person who goes without being messy until suddenly, I go ham and it’s a literal shit-storm?”

“I mean, look on the bright side. Sooner or later now one of you has to bring it up?”

“Fucking hilarious, Rosa. Fucking hilarious.” I muttered sarcastically as I poked my tongue out at her and pouted.

“If the poor guy wasn’t disgusted enough at doing what he and I did last week already, pretty sure he’s gonna fucking LOVE this going around.” I rubbed my forehead, pacing back and forth in front of the door.

“Nobody’s gonna even think about this longer than a day.”

I eyed her with a brow raised. Somehow, I doubted.

“I’m being serious. This is not a big deal. Tomorrow something else will happen and nobody’s gonna think about it.”

“ God, I can only hope.” I mumbled quietly as I made the choice to shove it all out of my head, get to work on Rosa’s makeup for the night instead. In the back of my mind, I found myself wondering just how far spread everything had gotten by now.

Knowing Matt’s tendency to shoot off his mouth, I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m the talk of the men’s locker room. I pretty much resigned myself to the realization that if I wanted things to go smoothly between me and Adam, this getting out probably guaranteed they wouldn’t.

And in a flash, something intimate and private, between two people, became this publicly known thing. And it annoyed me, because that was never what I intended. Especially granted what Adam’s already going through with the guys.

He didn’t need this shit on top of it.
