PHIGHTING!GLIMMER
lore n' such under the cut, not sure what warnings I'd need for her but I do feel like. there might be some so I guess just be a little bit wary?
Gear: sinister korblox wings
Originally known as "Blackrock's Songbird" Glimmer brought up the morale and hope of Blackrock's citizens and remaining soldiers with her simple desire to bring joy and kindness to others.
As time went on though, people got tired. Tired of feeling like things never really did get better. People began to see her as propaganda, connecting her to the higher ups of Korblox (based of the theories of Korblox being the sort of,, leaders of blackrock) due to her gear - and began taking out their frustrations on her. Tried to make a message by attempting to rip her wings off.
Out of desire to survive, her body rapidly adapted and gave her two separate forms as seen above: her main/usual form, looking soft and docile to try and go under the radar, and her 'panic' form; which holds her gear to protect it and herself.
The idea of Blackrock's Songbird has faded into a memory now, to some even only being an urban legend.
Glimmer nowadays looks similar enough to the supposed Blackrock's Songbird to at times get vague association, but not enough to be truly recognized as Blackrock's songbird. She hopes no one ever remembers.

Shadow Bringers: A Different Fate
Okay, so I'm still in the SHB expansion, and let me tell you it's given me a ton of ideas! This is one to make it slightly more light-hearted than one it is! But hopefully, I can convey it all where it makes sense but also not spoil it for those who may want to playthrough it blind! Beware either ahead:
So my s/i was sent to the world of the First to deal with the Flood of Light, while the scions handle the ongoing combat with the Garleans.
It's great for a while, I help many people as I learn how Sin Eaters work.
The common folk comes to view me as a beacon of hope during these never-ending days since I am proof that they can be killed without becoming one.
But not everyone is pleased about the destruction of the beasts, specifically the town of lavish splendor: Eulmore.
I'm lured there by peasants who live defenselessly outside the city, those who are impoverished and frail.
It wasn't their fault and they were happy for my help but they didn't help when Eulmore's military ambushed, overwhelmed, and subdued me.
I'm itching for a fight, to cast fires so hot Ifrit's embers are lukewarm, to tear my scythe through each and every one of these purple pricks. But I know if I die, then the people will have naught when it comes to aiding.
So I'm brought before an abomination worse than the sin-eaters, the mayor of Eulmore: Vauthry.
He's appalled I'd slaughter such beauty and makes it clear he wants to kill me. Yet he sure loves to massage his own ego, and that presents me with a chance for a proposition.
I put on the act that I'm blinded and have been brought to the light and that keeping me alive as a servant would do more to stop others who walk in my footsteps than if I were killed and made into a martyr.
He's hesitant, but as I continue to praise him and present myself as submissive, he comes around.
So I've become a bonded citizen in full service to Lord Vauthry. I'm stripped of my weapons, forced to wear aether inhibitors specially made to stop my black magic, and stripped of my armor.
The job is disgusting and humiliating, even if I am little more than a maid decadent in jeweled dresses...
When I'm not serving, I am shoved in a cell with a young girl named Minfilia.
We bond thoroughly, with me taking the brunt of harassment from Vauthry and his general. While I try to help her focus these powers that she doesn't understand...
Though one day we hear about an Elf with snow-white hair who's become a painter to a noble, and I know I'm no longer the only foreign ally here.
This lets me concoct a plan for Minfilia to escape, to go find him and my other allies.
She is wary, encouraging I go since I am more proficient in stealth and battle. But I deny this, knowing that the outrage will be too great for the girl to handle alone.
So one 'night' when the guards are sparse, mainly enjoying the strip clubs or the markets, I enact my plan.
We get the guard to come over by acting like I'm in horrendous pain.
When he opens the door I cast Glare and a stone spell to blind and knock him unconscious. (Thank the Twelve for white magic and elementals)
I insist Minfilia wears their clothes and just walks out. She begs me to go with her, but I need to keep this guard quiet but alive. So it's only her.
It's only hours before the whole military and Vauthry is in a panic. Not to mention I was right, their outrage was immense.
After several beatings, interrogations, and public humiliations later Vauthry has had his 'fun' with me and decides that he'll make a show of me through public decapitation!
I only pray that Minfilia has made it to the Crystarium and my friends to tell them the plan.
Luckily she did, and although a bit thrown off, they make haste to Eulmore to rescue me.
I'm brought before Lord Vauthry dressed in chains and rags, shoved to my knees, and made to bow before their Lord. Many citizens stand in horror and feigned pleasure as Vauthry has some guards present my scythe to the crowd.
This is a show just like any other, and Vauthry soaks in the attention and worship from those around him.
I put on my final act pleading that I don't know where the girl went and was truly put up to this. I'm kicked again in response.
Vauthry makes me an example, listing everything I've done wrong to the brainwashed nobles. He also has to go on and on about what a savior he is.
If I didn't have such a wish to live: I'd beg for him to chop my head off already.
But luckily during his monologue, Alphinaud and Allisae make their way through the crowd. Thancred, Y'shtola, and Urianger aren't too far behind.
Allisae holds off the guards while her brother heals my wounds and gets the chains.
I yell for my scythe, which one of the guards is clumsily swinging around, while Alphinaud begins to also get into the battle.
Thancred is all too eager to be at my back, and for a second I don't recognize him from when we last met.
Now it's an all out war between us, the guards, and the sin eaters that appeared to be Vauthry's pets. Yet the lord himself remains immobile.
This pisses me off since not only is he pompous but his monologue has become a child's temper tantrum. Not to mention, I'm enraged by everything else he did to me and Minfilia.
So I go straight to him and give the beheading that everyone gathered here to see.
Whispering as my scythe digs into the thick flab of his neck, "You really shouldn't lose your head..."
And it lobs off... Instead of blood and gore, his body transforms into a mass of primordial light and enters my body.
The townsfolk, the guards, and even the few living sin eaters go silent. While I plop into the plush pillows he used as a throne...
Y'shtola looks at me with narrowed eyes while Alphinaud, Allisae, and Thancred stare on with wide eyes.
I stare back, unphased. But figure that it's time to get out of here as darkness falls over Eulmore and the sin eaters flee.
I feel fine, but the rest of my allies feel it's best to stick close to me...
I did this because I've always wanted a scene where I get beheaded and felt like this over history homework... Will this sub-AU go further? Maybe....

-PRESS START-
Welcome to this blog! A safe place for self ship indulgence of gamers and fandom, where we can ramble insanity until we die about our faves. A few ground rules first
I DO: sfw general, nsfw (18+ only) angst (nothing too depressing, mind you), fluff, light yandere
I DO NOT DO: heavy nsfw (like non-con, dub-con is a solid maybe) unsanitary kinks (like scat and slob, watersports too) i do not do divorce, break up, permadeath without making it at least bittersweet so if you want pure depression wank, find another blog, sorry. Not knocking people into this but it ain't my scene. And i especially will NOT do abuse, incest, and underage p*do shit so don't even try
FANDOMS:
Mortal kombat (almost all characters)
Metal gear solid (all snakes and otacon)
Castlevania (alucard only)
Into/across the spiderverse (everyone, underaged characters SFW ONLY)
Skyrim (miraak, Cicero, paarthunax, alduin)
Note: i can do some marvel characters but i have a particular disdain for the mcu beyond "phase 1" so all characters will have my own interpretation. And also if it helps, my favorites are loki, all the avengers, and spider-man
Also this shouldn't have to be said but just to let you know where i stand:
