27 asks! Thank you for all the kind words! :}}}💙💙💙

@network-warrior-01

Funnily enough I have been thinking a lot recently about making my own web comic, right here on Tumblr! I have a lot of concepts, although I don't know if I'd make a separate comic just for the Factual Fam. I feel like they kind'a already have a web comic..? In a way.?

And I feel like if I made a story driven comic about us, separate from the ones I'm already making.. It would feel.. idk, off? My lil guys are meant to be with me, going with the flow of whatever's going on with my blog/my life. This is their story. Their lives with me are their story. If that makes sense?? I'm not sure if I have any other ideas in mind for them.. what would their world even look like if I wasn't in it or if it was different from what they have now..??

But on the other note, could you imagine? Me? Making a 100% original comic? With my own original characters, story, and world? Its a daunting thought. The sheer amount of stuff I would have to plan and the amount of angst I could inflict on ya'll would be insane <XDD

And yeahh,, the fanart thing would be a problem... <:/

The four of them sit together at the base of my stuffed animal pile. Nice and cozy! :}}

@cudlycorncornsworthcoberson

Actually the quilts are rather deceiving, they're just for show! <XD Bibi was conscious and could talk when he was still a picture. And he became a drawing without the use of a quilt. Jangles had a quilt but was still a picture. He was later "brought to life" with my pen!

The thing about all that life stuff, quilts, pens.. its honestly just for show. Those things don't bring them to life, I do. The flashy ways I do it are just for fun <XD

And about Cici! She was talking! And I think kind'a the idea as to why Jangles could hear them both was not only for the spooks. But becuase Cici and Gerald's concepts were so strongly developed at that point they were basically fully fleshed out characters. Their bodies just didn't exist yet. Hence the "I cant see" I hadn't stitched her button eyes on yet!

So basically their personalities and designs had been thought out. They just weren't there yet. But their presence was still so strong.. And Jangles being a picture kind'a bridged the gap between the concept world and the drawn one. If that makes sense??

He could still hear them after he was drawn though, I guess its an ability that he kept even after being art-ified..? <XD My lore's a little whack- its best not to look too far into it!

Also thank you! I'm glad you liked it all! :DD

Like I've said before, the best way to show you care is with comments. That's what would make me the happiest. :)

And sure I will! Some comics and random cameos here and there.. I already have some comics in mind.. 👀👀

I haven't seen the Puss in boots movie, but something tells me you're right XD

Hmm.. I don't actually know.. That's a good question :0

I guess they would react the same if us humans found a group of people like that. And what would humans do? Probably report it to someone?? <XD

@minophlia

XDD Thank you! I'm so glad you like me and what I make!! :DDD

Giant scary abstracted monsters that attack anything in the vicinity?? Nope nope nope!! Jevil would FREAK OUT and Immediately warp them out of there with a mirror. Cant risk anyone getting hurt!

That's not a half bad idea! :0 I'll see if I can remember to get around to it <XD

Also thank you so much!! :DD

All I know of punch out is from smash bros. And I got beef with Little Mac. Anytime anyone plays as him they always kick my butt XDD

I imagine Jevil wouldn't tolerate it much. If Jax was being a butt towards Jevil that's one thing. But as soon as he starts to direct that to anyone else in the group- especially Seam.. Then there's gonna be a problem. :x

Seam would be annoyed. But its likely the same as Jevil. He doesn't really care about his antics, but as soon as its directed at Jevil or someone else.. well then there's a problem-

@abaroo

Thank you so much!! :DD And of course I held his widdle hand! He needed the emotional support! He was making the biggest decision he's ever made in his life- <XD

And you're welcome! <XD I'm so glad you liked it! :}}

No no no no that is the wrong habitat for me!

I need to be put in a cardboard box with all the flaps open except for 1. There needs to be a grassy/muddy floor and a bowl of water.

Then put this box out in your backyard in the pouring rain. Don't give me anything to warm myself, and only feed me refrigerated watermelon. Now THAT'S what I call a comfy habitat!

@multiverse-city

Thank you so much! :DD I appreciate the compliments!! :}}

Although I'm sorry to say that I don't want me and my critters to show up as background characters.. <:( Sorry!

He probably has a couple of times yeah. Maybe right after big events or shows he got pushed over the edge and crashed.. :(

He might..? But I think Freddy would want to give Bonnie space.. Becuase when Bonnie is overwhelmed, that's what he wants. Is silence and space. And when Freddy is around Bonnie he would try to be really quiet and not move around too much..

So many siblings...

My only thought is that my version of the Daycare Attendant would better fit the role of Kaufmo. :0 The idea that he suddenly disappears, only to reemerge as a monster..

That, and I would shoe horn a bunch of unnecessary angst in there XDD

:DD Thank you so much!! :}}}

WAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Its so nice to hear that even though you knew nothing about the characters, you still loved my comic!! :DD And thinking my critters have depth?? And feel human?? WAAA THANK YOUUU!!! I try to give them all separate personality's and really put some emotion into them, I'm so glad you've noticed! It seems to be working! :DD

And again a thousand thank you's for the compliments to my sona! :DD The bloodied hands and dripping face getting worse and worse as the comic progresses to show my exhaustion,, even the comically placed hands! I put a lot of heart into all of it and I'm so happy that you've noticed!!

Thank you for all the kind words! Sending platonic love right back at ya!! :DDD 💙💙💙

@anartistwhowrites

THANK YOU!! :DDD

<XD Noooo don't cry! Thank you though, I'm glad you liked it! :))

@beryl-shade

One word; Horrified.

Aww, I'm sorry it made you cry! <:(( But I'm glad you liked it none the less! <:}}}

@badlyblurry

Darn <XD I had it match my Tumblr's theme.

@crimson-thinker

My main thing is it just feels like they "stole" what I made and drew it without asking me. And then turned around and gave it to me as a gift. Which obviously isn't what fanart actually is. But that's just how it feels.

But hey, your ask has many more reasons for me to not like fanart <XDD

The idea I had was they can use Power-Ups purely becuase they're human. Like, something about just being human gives you access to the power the Power-Ups have. .

Do you have a different idea though? I'd love to hear it! :)

Hey I was hoping you could do kintoru,Susie Campbell, mommy long legs,fenghuang and daki with a living voodoo doll reader that can transfer an pain the feel and is extremely hard to kill.Please :)

Kintoru/sama,susie campbell/malice,mommy long legs and daki with a living voodoo doll G/N reader

I literally simp for like half these character r u stalking me or smth💀/j

Unfortunately I havnt watched legends of awesomeness so I dont know how to write fenghuang but I'm going go to watch it when I can if it's on Netflix,I'll update this post once I've done or think I can get her character down :)

Anyways of course!

Not proof read,this took so long my tumblr is lagging and my thumb is aching 💀👍

Kintoru/sama

She is initially shocked apon finding you

A living voodoo doll that is able to transfer someones pain,it sounds like a story you tell kids to scare them honestly.

Not only that but you are insanely hard to kill,every time she has her claws on you,you suddenly evade her and run away.

She finds the situation both amusing and annoying.

She eventually gets to the point where she realises you just wont die

So instead she corners you and questions you

Apon finding out that your not entirely sure how you are what you are she feels almost a sense of familiarity,given the fact that she was created by an eldritch God.

Now you may be wondering,how did kintoru find out you can transfer pain?,you transferred your pain to her when she sliced you.boom.

For some reason,you get stuck in her realm,she literally cant get rid of,she tries multiple times before just accepting your there.

She eventually grows to enjoy your presence and you enjoy hers eventually to.

She loves to just pick you up and hold you close to her.

She refuses to admit that shes cuddling you

So she says holding you

She feels relief knowing that you wont die of old age in all honesty

Kintoru will never admit it but she loves you unconditionally

Should yasu EVER try to take you away she will have zero chill, legit hes standing one second dead the next,she will not loose you.

Unless shes sure you can,she probally wont involve you with the whole cursing an entire family tree thing

She let's you put on her hat if you want to,mainly cause she gets to see the large hat on your head and she finds it amusing.

Susie campbell/malice

She to is shocked at learning about you.

Shed definatly try to pursue you after finding out about your capabilities.

It's rare for someone to not be ink-ified so seeing you only dirty and inky is a shocker,her initial thought was that it was the ink that had turned you into the doll.

The first time she learns about your ability is when she saw you get attacked by one of the ink creatures,one slashes you on the stomach before you quickly transferred the injury back to the culprit and fled.

She definatly took notes.

I can see her attempting to appeal good and maybe even flirting to gain your trust

It isnt until you both unexpectedly get put into a fight with eachother that she learns about how much of a pain you are to kill.

After that encounter she thinks more leisurely now,she dosnt like the fact that you can last longer than practically any of the ink creatures down there -bendy/the ink demon

This somehow transcends into your relationship becoming frenemys

Whenever you cross pass it's a short fight with snarky remarks and offhanded insults being thrown back and forth until one just walks away

You both eventually just sit down with eachother and talk,how does this happen? Idk it just does

She talks about her former life before she became and ink creature whilst sadly looking at herself.

Once the questions are diverted to her and she questions your existence,you reply you just simply dont know

She would question more but she dosnt even know how shes living as an ink creature so she cant talk.

After this I can see her warming up to you and letting you around her area of the studio.

Surprisly she likes pda

She would be ecstatic if you would want to help her become beautiful and gets abit upset if you dont but otherwise understands.

She let's you touch her horns and halo,shes very over protective over you

She keeps you away from the ink demon at any and all costs

She wont let him take you away from her.

If you cant defend yourself she will teach you.

Drawing sessions if you like drawing

Mommy long legs

Due to the fact that she is in a factory that literally makes dolls and toys live she wouldnt find it a huge shocker

She seriously dislikes the fact that you can transfer pain,it makes it harder to hunt you down.

Now how did MLL find out about your pain exchange?

Mommy had caught you in a dead ended hallway and was squeezing the life out of you with her elastic plasticky arms,that's when she felt searing pain around her body,it felt like the plastic was squeezing itself and restricting her,

She ended up dropping you as you immediately bolted away from her

She had never taken a chase more seriously

This is also where she learns that your a pain to kill.

You kept ducking in and under pipes and wires as mommy got stuck and tangled,

Not only that but you wernt afraid to take risks as you could pass the pain onto mommy.

This chase probally went on for days before she finally stopped

She would not let go of the fact that you escaped her though,oh.no she wouldnt

She would continuously try and kill you,eachtime another dent,scratch or skudmark appeared on her pink body

It got to the point she literally just broke down,ripping pipes off the wall until you stood against a wall looking at her with bored eyes

She asked what in the world you were and how you could even keep up.

After getting her unsavory answer she ended up just dragging herself further into the factory to calm down,

However you didnt want to leave her alone,and followed her.

Your relationship takes quite abit to bloom since mommy is always shooing you off or holding a rabid wuggy by their cut string above you

After awhile mommy just accepts the fact your staying.

Your relationship once she accepts you not going anywhere improves and you eventually manage to get along

Best cuddles

I'm pretty sure that mommy is one of the more feared toys in the factory so you dont have much to worry about

Mommy scares the other toys into playing nice with you.

I headcanon that boxy is mommy's favorite,because I can,so you get amazing cuddle from an elastic toy and a fluffy box

Sweet with you and murderous with others,couple goals

Once player enters the factory I dnt think mommy would care,shed take poppy have abit of fun.

But,if the player shows succession shed kill him instantly

She finally has someone who loves her and shes not gonna let some old employee ruin it

As for poppy it's just more company for you.

The minute poppy starts to try get you to leave though.

You may find a partially toy absent

Daki

Shes really shocked,alot of things can happen when you change into a demon,but your not a demon?

She emidatly tries to get rid of you

She dosnt want someone one upping her place as upper6

She finds out pretty quickly that you can transfer pain and that your not easily kill-able

It's not until she feels as if her obis have slashed her torso that she kneels over slightly,she checks and her eyes widen as she sees deep cuts in the same positions that she had aimed on your body,mirrored onto her.

After seeing that you no longer had any cuts she came to the conclusion that you could transfer pain,once coming across this discovery she fled

She didnt want to be seen as weak but she didnt want to be killed of by someone who isnt even a demon slayer

She starts to think that your actually a hashira until she feels your aura again,your not your literally not even a demon slayer

She wonders how on earth your alive

She has so many unanswered questions

This list only piles up the more she thinks about it

She eventually traps you in her obi,asking questions and demanding answers

She gets extremely confused and rather angry when you tell her you have no idea how the fuck your even alive

She decides to make a deal with you,she brings you back to the red light district as her "apprentice" and you live,if you decline you die.

Although you know she probally wouldnt be able to kill you,you humor her and decide to go.

This is how you both start to bond

Snarky remarks are often when the two of you are in the same room

Her obi is actually really soft and nice to cuddle with,when your not trapped or being sliced with it

She let's you trace the patterns on it if you wish to.

If you want to do so with the cracks and flowers aswell she'll let you

She loves to do makeup on you or dress up etc

She actually likes giving you personalized gifts aswell as recovering them.

She very affectionate in private,in public shes alright with affection but not as much as in private

Due to the fact you keep daki busy muzan gives you his cursed blessing,he has made it very clear that no harm is to come to you whilst you are in a relationship with her.

Gyuutaro comes in the package with daki

Gyuutaro is rather easy to handle,tell him something positive about his appearance,give him a personalized gift or a slice of affection and that's all he needs

Time to show off some doodles of one of my OCs after binging as much batman series as I could, including BTAS, The Batman 2004, Brave and the Bold, the movies, etc. I fell in love with the Gotham Rogues all over again.

I've already made a few OCs, but to start, this one is Mavis. She is a harpy who imprinted on Penguin at birth and considers him her father. He kept her to be, at first, just as another loyal, powerful pet, but soon came to see her like a daughter to him too. Thus, a bird family in crime.

Last pic was my first ever sketches of chick Mavis and Penguin. You could tell I was still trying to figure out how to draw pengie haha!

Penguins note in full:

Note #5 - "Any news of strange phenomena that could be connected to the child's existence came up short. None of my connections had any clue of where she could have came from. The only hypothesis I could come up with is, admittedly outlandish, but not completely out of the question (Im not blind to some of the inhuman things that happen in this city). I refer to beings called 'harpies' from the mythologies. Stories of bird-like women who lead men of all kinds to their deaths, or who torture the damned souls in the underworld. All utter nonsense, but everytime I look at the child, I cant help but think there is something otherworldly about her."

Below is a bit more stuff about her

Name: Mavis (Unofficial) Cobblepot

Age: About 18-19

Gender: Cis Female

Identifies: Pan/Demi

Race: Harpy

Current Living: Gotham City

Allegiance: Neutral Evil - True Neutral

Powers/Abilites:

• Hypnotic Voice: Uses her singing voice to charm and manipulate the minds of anyone in her range into becoming submissive to her under the delusions of adoration for her.

• Typical features as like that of a bird of prey, keen eyesight 10× more than humans, Flying in silence, Can see in the dark, Heightened hearing. etc

• Strong, sharp, powerful talons for feet that can be used not only for attack, but for stealth capturing people (sometimes it's how she carries Penguin in means of escape).

• She is also efficient in knife combat and close quarter combat (for when shes in a finite space too small to fly around in), Knows how to use a gun, but rarely ever uses or carries one.

History: Oswald found her as an egg under mysterious circumstances, not knowing how she even got here or where she came from. Because she imprinted on him already, he decided to raise her and form her into another, stronger one of his loyal pet birds. However, as much as he tried keeping her under the conditions of a pet, Mavis still ended up seeing him as her father. And eventually Oswald, who denied for the longest, felt the same way as well.

Notes/Quirks: Mavis struggles a bit with human speech due to Harpies having different vocal chords than humans, so she was mute along with saying simple sentences for a good half of her life; she is very intelligent however and understands human language, can read and write very well, excels in math and business skills, just takes time talking./ She molts once a year and lasts over 2-3 weeks; it's very itchy and irritating and makes her grumpy the whole time./ She is a carnivorous bird and her favorite to eat is liver.

Propaganda why Alex Eagleston is insufferable:

literally causes the end of the world by being The Absolute Worst and has done so multiple times including his alternate selves. he technically has three (and a half) love interests (cause theyre the only characters he can/attempt to kiss or express any attraction to) and he treats them all poorly first three vella sammy and essentia 2000 are cause hes a misogynist but they all get different flavors of it sammy gets fridged for the plot of the game and is basically never relevant again outside of a secret(?) ending. shes also based off of a real life dead person for no fucking reason. vella is subjected to weird speculation about her age in her introduction scene with alex saying something along the lines of she cant be older than him cause shes too pretty (alex is like 24 and vella 27 from what i recall its been a few years since ive thought about yiik) and has a weird internal monologue about his feminist ex girlfriend prompted by vella just existing. theres a weird scene when alex asks her if shes korean n says she looks vaguely ethnic making her uncomfortable. One Of His Alternate Selves Literally Caused Her To Leave Her Home Dimension Cause Of How Poorly He Treated Her and the context behind that is that to leave the world/timeline/dimension/whatever you're originally from you basically have to be super suicidal and he pushed her to that point by ghosting her for a while and next time vella saw him he was hooking up with a girl noticably younger than her (<- remember this) and immediately after being told this he can attempt to kiss her which has no actual repercussions. essentia 2000 is like technically supposed to be evil i guess but her goal is supposed to be killing alex so i cant fault her on that. the in game day after they first meet alex has like a monologue about how special and attractive she is ""she was like water filling all my cracks"" or some shit. all three girls are alternates of eachother and are on a sliding scale of how objectified they are by alex with who got it the worst depending on which aspect you're focusing on. other sort of love interest is rory (diversity loss!) who alex can attempt to kiss after he confides in him about something when rory is like 18-19 (hes meant to be about the same age as michael whos recently graduated high school) and depending on how alex treats him can literally kill himself and alex's reaction to learning this is to only focus on how terrible he feels before moving on n rory's death never being mentioned again. the whole point of the game is that alex is a piece of shit who cant even buy groceries for his mom without throwing a hissy fit about it but it undermines itself constantly by having characters forgive or just stop being mad at alex on a dime after hes been exceedingly shitty towards them in various ways and any sort of charm or endearing traits he had quickly wearing off due to him never shutting the fuck up. near the end of the game all the other party members are killed off in quick succession leaving alex by himself and all he can do is sulk in self pity before going on a space adventure or whatever to stop an alternate him thats linked to an alternate essentia and enlisting the player as a different alternate him to help fight various superficial flaws of himself (which arent even like the actual things that make him insufferable n a bad person) n then finish the job for him. i need to punt him into the sun

He constantly goes on annoying monologues about things that nobody cares about. In game he is meant to be kind of an asshole, but they never give him the necessary character development to make him feel like a proper flawed protagonist, yet the narrative makes him out to be a character who is ""deep down a good guy"". Also he doesn't seem to care about any of his friends/party members.

"""YIIK"" is a poorly written, irony-poisoned RPG using a real life actual unsolved murder as the basis for an inciting event, altered so that what happened to the victim was some ~scary supernatural stuff~ and also Alex was there being vaguely misogynistic the whole time and monologuing to no-one in a way no real human person thinks uncritically.

The game intends to paint Alex as a bad person, but this is implemented in such a snide and uninteresting manner which has nothing to actually say about him being this way, nor is it at all fun or entertaining to experience.

He has no idea what's going on, blindly following the plot with the vague motivation of being suddenly stricken with affection for a girl he basically called a freak as soon as he met her five minutes ago. He is self-absorbed, lazy and overconfident, constantly bemoaning and ignoring the needs and feelings of others. He is the only character given enough breathing space to have something to him, and yet manages to not even feel any sort of dimensional.

Also his shirt is an ad for the dev's last game.

An incel who always screams about everything and yet is overly pretentious about everything.

Propaganda why Scott Pilgrim is insufferable:

He is not a good person. He doesn’t take other people’s feelings into consideration. He mooches off his one real friend. He’s dating a teenager as a grown ass man. Every girlfriend he’s ever had hates him for good reasons

Stupid idiot

dated a 17 yr old

kind of a cop-out answer since he's like deliberately made to be an annoying person but

not to be personal, but, maybe it's because of my background. i live in the south, where over half the folk you know will fall into something far more sinister than basic religion and lose themselves. i was abused by a man who was raised in a literal cult, and abused me due to that trauma, and i choose not to make contact with him now. with all this in mind.... liliana's story is very real. and i get the sheer anger from characters & fans about her. but with what ive personally seen & been through, i cannot be angry at her. because part of the existence of living in a land of cults & severe idealogies means living with the folk who believe that and learning what happened to them to make them break, and i cant see them, even those that hurt me, in any way but with pity & hope. at a certain point even if you have personal grief & anger you realize that the real problem is not solely placed on them but a society that created the right storm for such obscene exploitation. even if liliana did not attempt to listen to imogen, i still would not see her as the main threat - my eyes are on the cosmic level of trauma underpining every single person, entity, every goddamn black hole of this affair, and the cycle of violence, suppression of truth, &/or ostracization that led her and everyone, even ludinus, to where they are. when liliana looked to imogen for guidance - yeah, on a parental level, that's fucked. but i can't say i haven't seen it before. i can't say it didn't break my heart for her daughter and her. were she texan in reality and not just in fiction, she would completely blend in. ive seen her a thousand times over.

anyway, im simply rambling. i know discussing real life parralels to her is something folk have lambasted me for. but imogen was literally based on where laura grew up - exactly where i did. and i can safely say i know liliana in almost all those ive met. and i think that fury toward her is justified, but it's..... tired, to me. my hope is for anyone in exandria, and in our world, to break out of the mold that's forcing them into being soldiers for a cause they never should have become drafted for. and that cannot be done with seeing indoctrinated folks as a black and white enemy. they are your neighbors, your family. they could be you.

#others have said it better but treating bor'dor or liliana or anyone as unfathomably stupid risks not acknowledging your own capacity for +#being manipulated #no matter how smart we think we are we can all buckle under emotional strain and the promises of finally being relieved of it #and i know folk throw *fits* when folk joke about gatekeeping the temults from non southerners #but at least some southerners - and of course others in similar situations - know how others fall to religious extremity very well #critical role #critical role meta #long post #campaign 3 #liliana temult #cults #religion #southern culture #van speaks

the way i think about my stories can be so annoying bc there will be a point when i reach a certain story beat after which i dont know how to continue, and the way i do find are usually ... not good .. or i imagine it is not so i think man i cant do that thats so dumb and annoying i gotta think of something better, but then i cant come up with anything better bc once i got a solution to soemthign i cant think of anything smarter- and then i get bored of it as a whole bc man, this really was stupid from the start wasnt it

(this is all some stupid rambling and does NOT represent anythign that will happen in destiny, i swear the actual story with a proper end makes much more sense)

listen to me rambling but this morning i thought about the essentialyl non-canon good "ending" of destiny, a kind of self indulgent dumb lil alternative where everyone lives blah blah, but then of course it cant just end there, bc the end goal of the both of them is to find out the gods plan and secrets and also kill the gods, as you do, then i got a certain point that i found cool (which initially came from the whole thoguht of what if zelda game but you could play demise and it took place after the alternative ending in which the goal is to get rid of the gods) where the fight one of the gods but are kinda losing and as the god is trying to devour demise, as gods do, he abandons his body and his spirit/core, who cant exist without his body so hes still connected through the spirits tail , and climbs through the gods interdimensional weird 'mouth' while its trying to rip him apart to reach the core of the god in a last attempt to take them down with him, while hylia is fighting to keep the god from severing the thin connection he still has to his body but fails just as he reaches the core so the god is killed but his core is immediatelly starting to dissolve and hylia manages to grab his core and put it back into his body and flee from whatever is happeing to that dead god back into hyrule

he survives but is incredibly weak as his spirit has lost half of itself (blade spirits are also forged throguh sacrificing part of their spirit/core permantently but this is besides the point, none of this makes sense anyway), something he obviously hates but cant do anything about really, once a part of their core is gone its gone (not like lost energy but gone gone) but the core is also slowly dissolving further which is a death sentence with no way to act against- then theres a whole quest to .. well, stop that, while hes falling back into self hatred and fear bc hes now so weak that hylia can break his bones without any effort if she were to treat him in any way similar to before and to a deity that all their life was never so fragile, one whos most defining feature IS his power and strength to keep going no matter what, thats gotta be pretty existentially dreadful (and also its a set back to know that they cant just go fight the gods together like that, theres still two more and he cant fight like that)

then i wondered ok what if then, even if the time doesnt quite line up but at this point the entire prophecy cant be done anymore either so everythings out of order, the cloud barrier weakens and zelda is abducted (not by ghirahim) and link goes and tries to find her, but since everythigns not as it should have been he meets hylia and demise (disguised tho) and they immediately know who he is and then go along and try to help link find his friend (hylia does it bc she got the idea to make him find the triforce and wish demises spirit to be restored, since only a mortal can do that and links the most likely candidate to be able to go through the trials of it since he was supposed to already, even if the circumstances are different- demise goes along with it bc hes still trying to deal with essentially slowly dying and not knowing what to do with himself since hes afraid to get into fights or similar, much to his disdain, so hes acting like a companion of sorts, a mentor figure in a way, not knowing what hylias plan is)

i found the idea kinda interesting to have them be like a lil group that goes on links adventured with him, but with strangely intricate knowledge of how the dungeons work, link still doing the heavy lifting but them being there like parents cheering on their kid in a competetion, all the while putting the whole puzzle and dungeon aspect in a way different light bc half of them were never completed (they wanted to escape the prophecy after all) so they all work completely differently, some bosses being maybe some of the gods creatures instead (like the skysw guardians)- the mid journey point being that they find zelda, and who kidnapped her, it being one of the shiekah having most closely worked with hylia before the whole -break the prophecy- thing started (idk if it would be impa .. idea is neat) and is hellbent on making the gods plan work out like it was supposed to, kinda like the inverse of the games plot, so they got ahold of zelda as part of making her into the new hylia (despite hylia being .. right there, but they dont believe it is her truly since the true tm hylia would never betray the gods- ALSO a paralel to how the downfall of demises world worked bc his mortals turned on him after he started destroying their version of the triforce in the belief destroying it would be the only way to save mortals from going to war agaisnt each other for it over and over, mortals believing that their true deity was gone and replaced by a demon despite demise being ..right there)

after link wins the fight and frees zelda from them they in a kind of last effort to do anything against their group they stab demise, normally that wouldnt do shit against him but in his already fading away situation it basically puts him from very slowly dying to actually dying, as a reaction to it hylia kills the mortal (maybe impa idk), which is the first time she does anything like that to a mortal but i like the idea of her being actually super ruthless when it comes to things she cares about

now with a much more dire time limit hylia sends demise back to essentialyl go hide in her temple and try to not die and to trust her having a plan to make this all still work out- he does and once he is away she reveals pretyt much the entire story around why and what is happenign to link and zelda, hylia herself cant go above the clouds as the barrier is still partially up and she cant do anything to reach the triforce either - so she sends link and zelda to go do that, and it works out in the end bc even knowing the truth know, demise was with them on half of their journey so they know and care, he WILL be mad about them wasting their wish on him (even if he is still happy to be alive- i imagined scene where hes watching himself fall apart and die, alone in hylias temple, having to come to terms with the fact that after everything they had went through hed still die alone- it made me cry while thinking about it, yes, yes you are allowed to laugh)

i didnt get that much further but his spirit was essentially reset to when he was in his prime back in the day through the triforces power- something he both likes and despises, it being the gods power of all things that lets him live again, but also lol to use it agaisnt them by giving another chance to the gods greatest enemy- the next plan is of course to kill the next one of the gods but much better prepared, as they cant just go and do the same thign again (neither wants that), one idea was that hylia goes on a secret quest to try and bring back courage (the third deity that demise killed when his world was still thriving) but it involves diving back into the realm of the gods so she doesnt tell him at first, i do think theyd go together in the end, not to fight but to release courage; the whole thing is also an elaborate revenge plot of hylia, how dare the gods do that to him!!

anyway thats most of what i got from that thinking session but its so frustrating bc none of this is even in the actual comic (since it ends in a way that leads into canon skysw, this is some brain fart nooo i want blorbo to live and succeed!!) and its also convoluted and kinda dumb, the idea to inverse the games plot in a way (instead of it being ghirahim trying to bring demise back its someones plan to make the gods prophecy happen no matter what) is neat but i cant have demise almost dying be the thing THREE TIMES, it kinda undercuts his character and is way too much centered around him, all three times also more or less involving it needing help from others to get him back, when his whole thing should be being unkillable bc he jsut keeps refusing to die, also hylia is, as of now in this spaghetti derailment of random thoughts, way too much of a side character, which i dont like, and it all would make people not like demise when im trying to do the exact opposite of that in the main actual comic

i know being super self indulgent and jsut doing what you want is good for the most part but theres a point where it becomes stale cringy fantasies about my blorbo tm and i wanna write at least decent stories- in the end none of this matters anyway as the actual REAL story of destiny is already pretty long and i got no plan to write that alternative 'good ending' anyway and i mostly just thought about it bc "i dont want blorbo to die :(" and "wouldnt it be fun if the entire plot of the game would get messed up and now demise link hylia and zelda etc can all just drink tea together and make plans to get rid of the gods that wanted them all to suffer needlessly"

i probably shouldnt post this as it was really only a vent to get out dumb thoughts from my brain before they poison me into losing interest of the biggest comic project i have worked on so far but i am unable to keep these things to myself so

if you read all of this, im sorry (´。＿。｀)

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #dare i tag it as that #long post #dont read unless you want to cringe #and yes i know even bad art and stories have value #and i know im not as bad as i always think #but this really is the kind of stuff that makes me embarrassed to even be able to think #its all shortened and badly written #but some scenes i got so clearly in my head its like a movie #and those scenes make my brain go wooooooooooooooooo even if they make no sense and i cant fit them together properly #uh oh self doubt #sorry im neither a professional artist nor writer #im autistic with a blorbo and one skill that i only have bc i didnt know what to do with my brains rapid train of thoughts other than draw #big time for “oh no i made people think i am better than i actually am- i am a liar and a cheater oh god” kind of thoughts #the want to just do whatever you want VS wanting to make soemthing of value VS not wanting to embarrass yourself

what kind of lore is Eureka working with, gimme the rundown

Well, as mentioned in a previous post, Eureka is essentially half setting-agnostic, with the intention of being able to run anything from the present day all the way back to the mid-1800s. It could do zombie apocalypse, 1930s Noir, Wild West, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Call of Cthulhu modules, Delta Green modules, SCP Foundation, Monster of the Week modules, etc.

But the other half is where the basis for supernatural player characters comes from. This half is actually heavily based on the lore of my own horror-comedy literary work, working-titled American Vampire, which follows eventful ‘life’ of an eight-hundred-year-old vampire named Yvette as she navigates life in the 1990s and 21st century after nearly a hundred years in hibernation, and finally, finally accepts and embraces her own vampirism. The lore and tone are so similar that Eureka could almost be called an American Vampire TTRPG. (But it cant be called that, the name American Vampire has already been taken by another literary work.)

Here is the lore that Eureka and American Vampire share:

the background of this lore is a normal, everyday contemporary setting. The ‘real world’, not some other planet or completely alternate universe.

There are real supernatural creatures and people, but there is no ‘masquerade’. No worldwide global conspiracy/pact binds supernatural creatures to secrecy.

There is no secret worldwide vampire government or even a vampire community, supernatural creatures cant even usually pick each other out in a crowd.

Despite there being no worldwide agreement to keep all of this a secret, belief in vampires or ghosts or werewolves or anything of the sort is still widely considered baseless superstition. This is partially because actual supernatural creatures are so incredibly rare that 95% of people will never meet one in their lifetime, and even a supernatural person may never meet another of their kind. In American Vampire there’s canonically only, like, about one-hundred vampires in the entire United States. Also, on an individual level, the vast majority of supernatural people have a pretty serious incentive to keep their own identity a secret because they, like, eat people. If they admitted that to the world then at best they would get arrested.

The other reason the existence of supernatural monsters remains widely unknown is because people who do encounter this kind of thing tend to rationalize it and find normal explanations for it. If you saw somebody with huge fangs in real life, you’d probably assume that they got them surgically done instead of assuming they’re a real vampire. In fact, Yvette in American Vampire is “out” to the world by the mid-2010s. She does almost nothing to hide her vampirism, and is even a mid-level career streamer, all with the “gimmick” that she claims to be a real vampire. People tend to think she’s just acting, or that she’s just completely delusional. Many other supernatural creatures live similar lives, working normal jobs, wearing a hat to cover up their horns or sunglasses to hide their weird eyes, and only revealing their true nature to very close friends, if anyone at all.

Monsters are magical and rarely adhere to modern scientific understanding. And most importantly, they have magical weaknesses. The most interesting thing about a monster is usually their weaknesses, and the most interesting, challenging, and fun thing about playing a monster in Eureka is trying to work around those weaknesses while keeping one’s true nature a secret, even from the other party members and their players.

Supernatural player characters in Eureka must be hidden from everyone except for the player that is playing them and the game master. You aren’t supposed to tell anyone else at the table. There are gameplay consequences for if a monster gets discovered, even by other monsters, and it usually involves a lot of Composure damage. (Composure is like an emotional HP system in Eureka, and you lose points of composure from extreme fear and/or stress. It is NOT, however, a sanity system.)

This Composure damage also affects other monsters because, like I said above, monsters eat normal people, but 99% of a monster’s friends are also going to be normal people. You may never even consider eating your buddies, but this guy would chow down on them without a second thought, he’s got to go!

Of course, you could play Eureka without this monster character lore, especially if you wanted to use it for, say, a completely contemporary murder mystery on a train where none of the mystery solvers are secretly vampires, and Eureka works perfectly fine for that, its core gameplay is designed to be able to totally stand on its own, but we have found that the possibility of any party member being something horrible in disguise can really spice up just about any mystery.

Last minute note in case it wasn’t clear: The party members that are secretly monsters are not usually opposed to the main goals of the party, they aren’t secret villains, they’re protagonists just like everybody else, and they want to solve this mystery just as badly. They just have to do it with the added risk that somebody might notice they don’t cast a shadow.

𝕺𝖓𝖊-𝕾𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖉 𝕷𝖔𝖛𝖊| ᴘᴀʀᴛ ɪɪ

ᴘᴀʀᴛ ɪ :

ᴇʀᴇɴ's ᴘᴏᴠ

ɴᴏᴛᴇ: sʟɪɢʜᴛ ᴛʀɪɢɢᴇʀ ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ ғᴏʀ sᴏᴍᴇ sᴄʜɪᴛᴢᴏᴘʜʀᴇɴɪᴀ

"Congratulations Eren!" , Armin hugged me while Connie and Jean were cheering with the rest of the crowd. Looking around [Name] was nowhere to be seen. "Um... Excuse me, Mr.Ackerman" I headed towards him. "Congratulations Yeager" he said and I gave him a brief smile. "Have you by any chance seen [Name]? She was sitting beside you right?", I asked concerned.

"You just missed her. She left", he told me. 'Why would she leave? Was something wrong?' I asked myself but obviously i wasn't gonna get any answers.

"C'mon Eren~ Let's go outside and take pictures~" Mikasa was tugging at my arm and I had no choice but to go with her. We tried different poses, took pictures with friends and family but it just didn't feel quite right without [Name]. 'Why did she leave? Where didi she go?

"Eren.... Everyone's waiting for your toast" Mikasa brought me out of my trance. "I would like to thank you all for coming. Today has been very special and I hope to spend the rest of my life with my beautiful wife beside me", I had finished and everyone applauded loudly.

'Why did you go? Especially on such an important day?', these thoughts had clouded my mind and kept me from fully enjoying my wedding day. And before I knew it, Mikasa and I had gotten into the car, friends and family waving us goodbye and then we were off to pack for our honeymoon.

Throughout the ride, Mikasa rested her head on my shoulder and wrapped he arms around me pulling me closer but I was just staring out the window.

The ride felt long but we had finally reached our shared home. Something that I hadn't informed [Name] about. We stepped in and at the foot of the staircase Mikasa said "Eren~ Can you carry me to our room please? I feel so sore~" and I obliged and carried her as she giggled excitedly.

I opened the door and dropped her gently on the bed. I took off my coat and she called me again. "Eren~ Could you help me take off my wedding dress? I can't reach the zipper~" and I agreed. She stood up and had her back facing me as I pulled the zipper down.

"Sorry I have to make a phone call. Just go take a nice bath ok.", I said and she glared at me but nodded.

I grabbed my phone and hurried downstairs into the living room. I dialed [Name's] number and places the phone to my ear. After a few rings i heard 'The number you are calling does not exist or is out of service'.

"That cant be. [Name] has never changed her number." I thought to myself and dialed again but still received the same message. I tried again and again but alas, all I heard was the same message. Giving up, I decided to text her just incase she still has her sim card.

❁[ɴᴀᴍᴇ]❁

Hey [Name]. It's Eren.

If you get this message

Please text or call

Please.

I placed my phone on the coffee table and headed back to our shared room. I had take off my suit and wore a black track suit. I took out a blue suitcase from under the bed ang placed it on top.

I took out some clothes from the wardrobe and started neatly arranging them since we would be away for 8 days. As I was half way done, Mikasa came out with a towel wrapped around her.

She sat on the bed staring at me. "So are you done with your phone call?" she asked. "They we rent available so I just sent them a text instead" I replied not looking at her.

"You tried to contact [Name] didn't you?" she asked glaring at me and I looked at her in disbelief. "She has been my best friend since childhood, and she suddenly disappears, so of course I would try yo contact her. Why are you even angry?" I glared at he but she just kept quiet.

"Lets just pack so that we reach the airport earlier. We're both tired. Let's not argue or we might regret it" she said and got up to dress herself.

I finished packing and took my suitcase downstairs and turned on the TV, mindlessly scrolling through the channels. Just then my phone rang. 'Could it be [Name]?' I thought and quickly picked up the phone. But all hopes washed away when I heard a different voice.

"Hey Eren! Have you seen or heard from [Name]?. We looked for her at her apartment but it was empty.", Armin said and I stood up immediately. " What!" I gasped in utter shock. "We also tried calling her but her number does not exist. And texting her was of no use since we were left on delivered"

I was rendered speechless, so she really was gone. "I really don't know why she left, lets just hope that she comes back. But anyways, enjoy your honeymoon, bye!" and with that, he hung up the phone.

I dropped to my knees, wide-eyed. My first best friend, my only best friend in the world was gone and there was no way we could contact her. I thought she had beef with Mikasa, but [Name] isn't that type of person. What was the reason? Was it because I spent way lees time with her since Mikasa and I started dating. But she seemed so happy for me or was she just pretending.

Tears rolled down my cheeks one my one. When I heard the bedroom door open, I quickly got up and wiped my tears.

Mikasa came down with her suitcase and paced it next to mine. She looked at me and furrowed her eyebrows. "Eren... Are you okay?" she asked placing her hands gently on my shoulders and gliding down my chest as she pressed our bodies together placing her head on my chest.

"Nothings wrong Mikasa. I don't know what you're talking about" I said and kissed the top of her head as my arms encircled her waist and she sighed lightly.

"Lets get going, otherwise well miss the plane" I said and she let go. We loaded our luggage into the car and hopped in.

As we were heading to the airport, Mikasa just just kept blabbering non-stop. For some reason it was so annoying. I usually found this cute about Mikasa or was it [Name]. Thoughts of her clouded my mind as I made a turn. Perhaps it was only [Name] who I really listened to.

"Eren! Are you even listening to me!?" she snapped her fingers at me taking me out of my trance. "Yeah [Name]" I whispered and she looked at me confused. 'Oh sh*t! Oh sh*t! Oh sh*t!' I chanted in my head hoping that she didn't hear me.

"What did you say?" she asked quirking her brow and I sighed quietly in relief. "Sorry dear. I was a bit distracted." I said and she just smiled shaking her head and smiling to herself.

"You always do that. And that's what I find most cute about you" she said bopping my nose with her index finger. I smiled at her, but for some reason, it felt so fake and i had no idea why.

We had finally reached the airport and found a parking spot. I unloaded the luggage and texted Armin to pick up the car for me. We entered the airport and sat on one of the benches while waiting for Armin. We had about an hour and 30 minutes before check in time and i decided to use my laptop while Mikasa was scrolling on her phone.

About 50 minutes passed and Armin came our way. "Once again congratulations guys" he said shaking my hand and Mikasa nodded with a smile. "Well be back in 8 days. Well take an uber home so you don't need to pick us up when we return. What else again?... Oh yes, the house key is under the mat of the backdoor" I said and he just smiled as she nodded.

"If you get any leads on [Name]'s whereabouts please alert me and open a case please for the both of us" he said and I smiled.

"Don't worry. You can rely on me, just enjoy your honeymoon, y̷o̷i̷l̷l̷ j̷u̷s̷t̷ f̷o̷r̷g̷e̷t̷ h̷e̷r̷ a̷s̷ u̷s̷u̷a̷l̷l̷" he had whispered something but i couldn't make out what he said.

"What was that?" I asked, brows furrowed in confusion. "It's not anything important. Just try not to miss us too much" he said, waved goodbye and left.

"What was he saying?" Mikasa asked as i sat down. "I was just giving him some instructions that's all. He also says to enjoy our honeymoon" I said and she went back to her scrolling

Time passed by so fast and it was time to check in. ' What was it that Armin said? Why do I have a feeling it involves [Name]?' I thought to myself and decided to snap out of it.

'You're going to spend some time with your wife! Isn't this what you always wanted?' I asked myself as we waited for the our plane to get ready.

After about 20 minutes Mikasa asked "Do you want me to buy you food?" to which I responded by nodding my head implying yes. I checked my phone and the message that i had sent [Name] was still left on delivered. I scrolled up to see the previous messages that we sent to each other. Funny stickers and memes, weird emojis and cursed funny tiktoks. A smile crept up on my face without realizing.

I leaned my head back sighing and whispered 'I miss you' and just then I heard "I was only gone for a minute". I sprung up to see Mikasa holding a large pizza box and two cans of Coca-Cola. She sat down and we started eating. Once again she started talking but i turned around for a second and saw [Name]'s face. I blinked twice and she was still there speaking to me. And the suddenly tears started rolling down her cheeks.

" Why?" she asked. "How could you do this to me?", more tears were flowing. "What do you mean why?" I asked and she shook he head disappointed. "Of course you don't know. You always left me alone ever since you met her. How could you forget about me?" she asked again her voice cracking even more. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"What are you talking about?" I rubbed my eyes only to see Mikasa staring at me in concern. I looked around and she was nowhere to be found. "Eren?" she called out again. "Sorry, I just don't feel well" I said. "Should I get you some water?" she asked and i nodded.

She got up and I was utterly confused. 'What did she mean? Is Mikasa the problem or is it me?'. She came back and handed me a bottle of water along with some panadol. I drank it and she offered me her lap to sleep on which i agreed to.

After some time I heard "Eren... Eren.... Eren... Wake up... We have to board the plane. The voice was so sweet and gentle. She was.stroking my hair trying to wake me up. When I looked up I saw [Name] smiling brightly at me. I shot up only to see Mikasa staring at me with the most softest look in her eyes.

" You must have a fever. Lets board and you can sleep for as long as you want to, okay?" Mikasa suggested and I nodded.

Once we got on, we found our seats and sat down. Mikasa buckled my seatbelt for me and places the earmuffs on me. She kissed my cheek then stroked it lovingly ."Don't worry Eren. You'll get better soon", she said and i drifted off to sleep.

"Eren...Eren.. Eren!" I shot up. I looked to my right and to my surprise Mikasa wasn't there. Infact nobody was on the plane. Suddenly I heard someone humming. The melody was so familiar. I got up and followed the voice. At the very front of the plane there was a person. Her face was completely hidden by her hair/braids

I got infront of her and she was stroking air as if someone was on her lap but I just couldn't see them.

"Excuse me miss..." I called out. "...Do you by any chance know where the other passengers are?" I asked fixing my gaze on her. "Whatever do you mean? My son is here with me isn't he?" she asked and when I looked down there was a small boy resting his head on her lap.

"Mommy" the boy called. "What happened to daddy?" he asked tugging on his shirt when he sat up straight. "What are you talking about?" I asked.

The lady just kept on humming the same song while slightly rocking sideways. "WHERE IS MY DADDY!" the boy exclaimed stumping his feet. "I don't know where he is. Just ask your mom-" "LIAR!!" he screamed punching my leg with his tiny fist.

Once he was tired, he grabbed onto the hem of my shirt and started silently sobbing. I lifted him up placing him on my hip as he continued to sob on my shoulder.

"What happened to your father?" I asked him. He sniffled and looked at me wiping his tears with his tiny hands.

"He left mommy and got married to someone else" he said sniffling. "Im sorry to hear that. What was his name? Maybe we could find him if you tell me his name" I said. "My daddy's name is... Eren Yeager" hearing this my eyes shot wide open.

I looked over to the woman and she was pointing at me. She looked up and that's when i saw her face. It was [Name]! Her eyes were puffy and red. She looked like she had been crying fo a long time.

I placed the kid down and walked towards [Name]. I knelt down infront of her but she did nothing but only stare at me. I placed my hand on her cheek and she leaned in closing her eyes. More tears fell and I wiped them for her. "Why did you leave me [Name]? You know I need you" I said. She slowly opened her eyes staring into my eyes softly.

"I had no choice. You left me first" she said and removed my hand. "It's too late Eren. The damage is done" she said and got up leaving the plane with the child. I tried to go after her but with every step I took, she seemed to be much further than before. "[Name]!" I called out but not once did she turn around.

"[Name]! [Name]!" I called again and again but to no avail. And that's when she was completely out of my sight and I woke up.

"Fasten your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen and prepare for landing. Thank you for flying with Emirates. Enjoy your stay!" was the first thing I heard upon waking up. "Wow Eren! You slept for 4 hours straight! Are you feeling better now?" I responded with only nodding my head implying yes.

Without realizing it, it was time for passengers to drop off the plane we got out after fetching our bags and went into the airport. It was already late so we decided to check in the hotel and go to bed since we were too tired to go out and about. I checked my phone but that message was still left on delivered.

We called an uber and got to our hotel. We checked in and we got the keys to room 226. Our luggage was carried by the bell boy and we got to our room.

"Today was so exhausting!" Mikasa sighed plopping on the king sized bed with comfortable-looking duvet covers. "It sure was!" I replied taking of my sweat shirt. I could feel Mikasa's gaze on my back and then I felt her hands gently stroke my back up and down that sent light shivers up my spine.

She then wrapped her arms around my waist and pressed her cheek on my back. "Let me join you" she said. "In what?" I asked. "In the shower" she replied as she slowly walked to face me.

"I don't think that s such a good idea" I said looking away. "Come on Eren. Were a married couple now, we can do anything to each other to our hearts content" she said, her eyes narrowing and gazing up at me seductively as she slowly slid he arms around my neck with her fingers interlocked behind me.

My throat felt dry. I wasn't able to say anything. I opened my mouth to say something, anything, even on word, but my throat failed me. All I did was nod and she kissed me as her hands roamed all over my torso. And I kissed back, but some part of me felt like this was.wromg.

I pulled away and she kept on staring at me right in the eyes with the same lustful stare. "Come to the bathroom when you're ready" was all I could say and I stepped into the bathroom.

I threw my remaining clothes on the floor and turned on the shower as cold water splashed on my body. I just stared at the white tiled wall completely in a trance. All the memories I had with [Name] came flooding back. All the times that I made her smile or laugh made a small smile creep up on my face unknowingly.

"Where are you [Name]?" I sighed and then Mikasa came in wearing a towel. She let it drop to the floor then she walked slowly over to me and hugged me from behind. "This feels nice, doesn't it Eren" she asked and I hummed. She took the loofa and squirted soap on it and started sensually rubbing my back. "I need you to turn around for me" she said and I did.

She started scrubbing my front side trying to get all touchy and then she rinsed the foam off and asked me to do the same to her.

We got out of the shower with our robes on and I sat on the bed while Mikasa sat at the dresser drying her hair with a towel. "What sight should we visit tomorrow?" she asked looking at me from the mirror. "Anywhere's fine really. As long as Im with you." I said smiling at her.

She sighed and walked over to me. She sat down next to me with her hand on my shoulder. "Eren look at me" she ordered and I turned to fave her. "What's wrong?" she asked her face showing concern. "There's nothing Mikasa. Im fine-" "No, you're not!" she exclaimed startling me.

"Whatever it is we can go through it together, as husband and wife" she said one hand intertwining with mine and the other cupping my face. "There's nothing wrong. Im just tired" I said voice cracking a little. "Come on, you can trust me. Please let me help you" she insisted and i gave in.

"Its about [Name]'s disappearance" as soon as I said that, I noticed her face slowly cringing but she regained composure. I shrugged it off 'cause I thought I was just seeing things because that's how the entire day was.

"I just don't understand. How could she leave us? Why?" I asked as I could feel the tears building up in my ryes and the lump forming in my throat. "I thought she was perfectly happy and fine, but... Why?" I asked again failing to look her in the eye.

"You have to be kidding me" she said and I looked at her confused. "Are you serious Eren?!" she asked again anger slowly rising. "What rae you talking about?" I asked looking at her as she stood up. "You're telling me, that the reason you've been gloomy the entire day was because of her!" her voice was raising.

I creased my eyebrows in anger and stood up looking down at her. "What exactly are you trying to imply?" I asked and she shook her head in disapproval. "You know exactly what Eren. Its our wedding night, our honeymoon, our special day, and all you can think about is that bitc-" "Watch your tone Mikasa! Or I'll" "You'll what? You cant do anything to me Eren. Im your wife! You married me not her and don't you ever forget that. You are going to enjoy the rest of your life with me and that's final. And finally, [Name] wont be in the way" she said leaving me in shock. I had made a huge mistake and there was no turning back.

We went to bed in anger though i could not sleep. 'How could she say such a thing about [Name]?' I thought staring at the ceiling 'Was Mikasa the problem?' that wouldn't make any sense since they never really talked to each other face to face.

After some tome, i had finally gotten some shut eye. The next day we had agreed to go around Paris. We got ready and headed out together as if nothing had happened the previous night. We enjoyed our day and the rest of the honeymoon and then went back home.

Ever since we arrived back home, there had been tension between Mikasa and I. Multiple disputes day in day out and it was getting tiring. Though after we both got jobs, the fighting was brought to a minimum. I was still looking for [Name] but she was still no where to be found. Even with the help of the police and of course they had to drop the case unfortunately fo me and fortunately fo Mikasa.

But I still didn't give up. I would go to all the places that we used to go to, time and time again hoping that somehow, miraculously she would pop up and all would be well. Though all of that was jist false hopes.

2 years into our marriage and we still were at each others throats. Though it sort of died down and we tried to be happy until one unfortunate day.

I had gotten back home late at night because of my searching and when I entered the house, Mikasa was standing there, pissed.

"Good evening honey. How was you-" she cut me off by pishing me away. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Don't act like you don't know Eren" at this point, I stopped trying to fake it. "Would it kill you to just say what's wrong!" I lashed out at her. "How can I? You don't even have time for me anymore! How do you think I feel having to sit here everyday waiting fo you to come back home" she spoke back tears brimming in her eyes.

"Crocodile tears wont help your case. And who asked you to wait for me, just go to bed early if you dread it so much" I replied hanging up my coat. "Do you know what the neighbours are saying? They think that you don't love me anymore because you're always out and about looking for [Name]. It's been two years Eren. Shes never coming back"

"I don't give a f*ck about what the neighbours are saying. And maybe I do not love you anymore. You are a selfish, manipulative and overall a stupid b*tch. Just because you found a man and got married to them that doesn't make you the queen of the world and certainly does not give you the right to step on others. And don't ever speak of [Name] like that ever again. Do you hear me!" I lashed out again and she fell on her knees crying.

"Im tired Eren. Im so tired" she said trying to stop her tears. I walked over to the drawer and pulled out an envelope throwing it at her. She looked at it for a few seconds and opened it. She looked at it shocked.

"Divorce papers!?!?" she exclaimed as I was going up the stairs. "But why?" she asked looking at me. "There's no point in faking it Mikasa. Like you said, you're tired and so am I. Lets just end this. There's nothing you'll gain from this marriage" I said and took a few more steps when I heard the sound of ripping paper.

"I will never sign these papers. And you wont make me" she said getting up. I let out a chuckle and she looked at me in confusion. "I knew you would be so stubborn. I have other copies printed out just incase. You'll get tired of riping the papers, but I'll never get tired of handing them to you" I said and disappeared upstairs.

Ever since the situation, Mikasa never dared to speak up but she still refused to sign the papers which was such a pain. I continued my search for [Name] and as usual, I had gotten nowhere. It was like she completely vanished from the face of the earth.

Jean and Connie who were also helping in the search had advised that I should take it easy and take a break every once in a while or I would go crazy. I followed their advice and laid low. I would go home early and just did regular things around the house to kill some time which was when Mikasa started coming home late. I didn't pay much attention until she started spending the night at wherever it was she was at.

But I didn't say anything. I just let her be in hopes that somehow this would be a reason to find something on her so that I could guilt trip her and finally be set free from the agonizing bond.

A few months later, I got a promotion at work and my new position required me to travel a lot. Mikasa congratulated me but I paid he no mind. After the first trip, Mikasa wanted to talk. We sat in the living room in silence.

"What was it you wanted to tell me?" I asked not caring much. "I've been thinking for a really long time now and... I want a baby" she said and I stood up. "You can not be serious" I said. "Come on Eren please" she pleaded. "You have got to be the biggest idiot I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. You really think that after all you've done, I would willingly say yes to having a child with you !" I said and she looked at me as if she was the victim.

"Forget it! Its never going to happen. Ever!" I said and left her in the living room. I had another trip and it would take 4 weeks until I finished work. I left home at around 3 am and went to the airport. The flight was long and tiring especially since there was a crying baby on board.

I had finally reached my destination at 8pm and the meetings would start first thing in the morning.

The meetings were long and boring and there was a lot of paper work but we were able to finish everything with only an entire week to spare. We were allowed to go back home early and use the remaining days as our extra days off.

I had arrived back home but decide to go back the next night and enjoy myself before going back to deal with Mikasa. I booked a hotel room and spent the night there. During the day, I went to all kinds of places. For breakfast, lunch and dinner. I tried new restaurants which was the best decision I had made and explored so many other places and got to talk to new people. During my time there I thought a lot about [Name] and all the good memories we had growing up. I just wished I could talk to her at least once to know why she ran from us...me.

Unfortunately, the sun was etting and I had to fetch my luggage from the hotel. I drove all the way home and waited in the car for about 20 minutes before deciding to go in. I opened the door and was greeted with silence. Mikasa wasn't watching TV and it was switched off. This was odd. I shrugged it off and just took off my shoes and left my luggage downstairs convincing myself that I would take it upstairs the following day.

I started going up the stairs and heard faint creaking. I thought that it was just my weight on the wooden stairs but when I stopped walking the creaking continued. I walked up the stairs and still there was creaking but also another sound that went in sync with the creaking. I got closer to my bedroom door and the sound grew louder with every step. It was the sound of heavy breathing and whining.

I opened the door slowly to see Mikasa and Jean aon my bed staring at each other sweating and breathing heavily. It all stopped when Mikasa had noticed me standing by the door frame. She pushed Jean away from her and when he noticed me, he completely froze.

She quickly covered herself with the bedsheet and looked worried. I started clapping and smiled to myself. "Eren... Its not what it looks like" she tried to reason but I stopped her. "Finally" I said walking over to them. I got over to Jean and forcefully shook his hand. "Thank you so much dear friend. If it wasn't fo you, I wouldn't get the chance to have a reason to finally let it go" I said and he looked at me confused.

"Mikasa, what is he talking about? You told me that you already left him and he was long gone" Jean said in anger. "Wow~ So im not the only victim. How lovely." I said sarcastically. Jean got up and put on his clothes as Mikasa tried to plead with him but he just wouldn't budge. Just before he left he said "Now I know why [Name] left" and my eyes grew wider. He must've known something, something that I had probably missed.

But when I turned around he was already out the front door. I turned back to face Mikasa and she was glaring daggers at me. "Oh no no no no no! Don't you dare look at me like that. You were the one who f*cked up, weren't you?" I said glaring at her too.

"None of this would have happened if it wasn't for you Eren!" she said and plopped herself onto the bed. "How is any of this my fault? If you would have signed the divorce papers like I wanted you to, you would have lived your happy ever after with Jean" I said and she sighed deeply. "Just get out! I don't want to see you!" she screamed. "Sure. Just sign the papers" I said and pulled out another envelope from the locked drawer that only I had the key to.

She looked at me wide-eyed and said "I thought I burned all those papers. How could you still have more?" "You're not as smart as you think you are Mikasa. Now sign the papers and we agree from now on to see other people and never face each other again" I said handing her a pen. She signed in annoyance and got up to get dressed.

"Now get out!" she ordered me and I didn't react. "This property isn't yours. Pack your bags and leave to the hell hole you once came from." I said to her and she looked stunned. "Ehat do you mean this isn't mine?" she asked. "If you were actually smart, you would know that this house was mine from the very beginning before I even knew you. And that I signed to deed to this house" I said and she looked at me angrily.

She brought out her suitcases and furiously threw all her clothes into them. Once she was done, she tried leaving the room when I stopped her. "You forgot something" I said. "Why do you even bother tormenting me?" she asked. "You think im going yo have goodnight dreams knowing that my best friend and ex-wife had sex on my mattress" I said and she glared at me. She took the mattress and the bedsheets and carried them to the backyard. She phoned her cousin Levi and she sat outside waiting for him to arrive as I stood at the gate also waiting.

Once he arrived, she placed her luggage in the boot and entered the car. I closed the gate and took lighter fluid and a match box and went into the backyard. I sprinkled the lighter fluid on the mattress and dropped a lit matchstick on it and it quickly engulfed in flames.

I sat on one of the chairs in the back yard and ran my fingers through my hair. How could I have been so blind? I was convinced that there was something wrong with me. First, [Name]'s disappearance and then my ex-wife cheated on me. What was wrong?

Sighing, I grabbed my phone and blocked all of Mikasa's and Jean's social medias and deleted their contacts. I wanted nothing to do with them at all. My only goal now was to find [Name] and why she abandoned us...me.

I decided to proceed with the search the next day and strated scrolling through instagram. I went to check Armin's profile. He posted pictures of himself at fancy gatherings, luxurious hotels and expensive dinners in France. It was no surprise since Armin owned a multi-million dollar clothing brand and partnered up with big companies such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Versace, you name it.

There was a link to his second account and I pressed it. The account name was '@together_forever' and the profile picture was of two people holding hands by the sunset. I was happy for him that he had a good relationship with someone.

But my smile had dropped as soon as I saw the first picture. It was one of Armin kissing [Name]'s cheek at the beach in the sunset as she showed her left hand revealing an expensive diamond ring on her finger. The photo was posted 2 days before I had seen it and it was captioned;

'𝕵𝖚𝖘𝖙 𝖊𝖓𝖌𝖆𝖌𝖊𝖉. 𝕹𝖔𝖜 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖑 𝖏𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖓𝖊𝖞 𝖇𝖊𝖌𝖎𝖓𝖘'

I could not believe my eyes. I refreshed the page over and over again only for the same picture to appear over and over again. And before I knew it, fat tears cascaded down my cheeks and I dropped my phone on the ground.
