every day I dream about my illustration series of kekkaishi characters with the 14 fears
#just thinking thoughts...#SHAKING YOU. DO YOU UNDERSTAND.#with my reading of kks as a metaphor for the anthropocene chuushinmaru SO perfectly encapsulates the concept of the extinctionnnn#sumiko of course is the lonely#byaku is corruption#the ogis as flesh (they are sooooo fleshyyyyy)#I think yoshimori would be the slaughter <3#when he loses control you know#the hunt belongs to gen#tokine is the spiral#I kind of want tokimori for the end. to go with chuushinmaru's extinction. you know#the watcher is the eye obviously LOL#shion fits so well for both the stranger and the web but if I had to pick one it's gotta be the web :pensive:#gagin fits desolation almost perfectly but I don't like him lol#wait I think. yoshimori for the vast... and mudou for slaughter actually?#I think mudou deserves a panel. he went pretty batshit crazy <3#HAHAAAA THE KING FOR THE BURIED???? LMAOOOOO#oh man oh man the fucking. omi brothers were sooo fucked up#I think they could actually be the stranger.#even though I think strictly speaking what they are is closer to the web it feels ridiculous not to give shion (spider user) the web#I think I had them as the eye when I was thinking about this earlier though#you know what I'm saying#nura kidoin also fits web well#but that's like. web (affectionate) not web (derogatory)#and I think we're trying to be a derogatory here as possible#okay if anything. I want masamori for the desolation#I think utter destruction doesn't necessarily have to be flames.#his zekkai fits that pretty well I think.#OH MY GOD I HAD OKUNI AS THE EYE NO FUCKING SHIT#yeah watcher can get out of here. okuni was SO much more plot relevant

.˚ 𓈒 ࣪.𝝑𝝔 My boyfriend's dad is scared of me ! ´ˎ˗
Jason Grace x Fem!Nyx!Reader Synopsis: Meeting your boyfriends dad doesn't go as planned when he's scared of you !!! Warning(s): perhaps a swear here and there, Hera being messy, the usual Word Count: 2008 A/N: I'd think nyx kids are like Twyla Boogeyman, with the hiding and becoming one with the shadows n stuff
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The king of the gods Zeus, even his Roman equivalent Jupiter, was know for being an intimidating force who fears no one. Not even the faithful wife he's cheated on every now and then. Except for maybe one thing, or person. The Goddess Nyx. Nyx is a formidable opponent with power greater and older than Zeus himself.
Now whats just as scary as the Goddess Nyx? Her kids!! Well, kid. It was just you. LOL !
When you were growing up, you were always more comfortable in the shadows. When you turned 7 and your father finally explained who your mother really was, everything started to make sense. Sucks your dad had quickly chucked you off to camp, he was probably just scared of you. From very young you already know of your potential, the powers in the shadows, the powers in the dark, never truly perfecting this blood-curdling aura aura until arriving at camp.
Most people found you creepy, not Jason though. You first met him when Annabeth brought him and his friends to camp. There was obviously something odd about him, probably the fact he was actually a memory wiped ROMAN, but you didn't know that yet. Before he left for his first quest, you would blend into the shadows and follow him around.
Until one day he had enough with the feeling of being watched and ran out into the woods where he could confront you.
"Is there someone there? Is someone following me??" Jason said loudly, looking around in circles waiting for someone to appear from the bushes or behind a tree. Where he didn't expect you to appear? From the underside of a branch out from a shadow, revealing you upside down from the waist up (or down, since you're upside down).
"Did you know your dads scared of my mom?" You laughed as Jason jumped at your sudden appearance.
"Where did you- how did you-" You stuck your hand out toward Jason.
"Y/N, child of Nyx. Hi." Jason slowly reached back out and shook your hand. Once he let go, you fell out of the shadow and landed on the ground in a hero pose before standing up and facing Jason. "You're not one of us are you?"
"What are you talking about? I just got here and don't remember anything, at all."
"What's my moms name?"
"Uh you just said it? Nox."
"Um that's the Roman name, whats with you and the Roman names? Hm?" You looked at him up and down. "I wonder if the rumors are true."
"Huh? What rumor-" And just like that you jumped right back in your shadows and ran off. Jason stood there confused. And for the next few hours, all he thought of was that moment in the woods. Was it cool or creepy? Mostly cool to be honest.
You made your way to the big house to spy on Chiron, see if he knew anything. Until you got bored of waiting and started pestering him.
"Cmon, I've heard the rumors, you know I hear everything. Is there really such a thing as Roman demigods?"
"We cannot discuss this Y/N."
"Please I won't tell. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE-"
"ENOUGH. You win, now keep your mouth shut and go on with your day."
You were a persistent and terrifying girl. Perfect in your eyes honestly. Despite having such a chilling presence you were quite outgoing, so you slowly went from the watcher to the watched. After that day in the woods Jason found himself growing in his curiosity on who you were. He found himself watching shadows waiting for you to suddenly pop up, watched as random legs would pop out from the ground in front of other campers tripping them and quickly disappearing. Then finally, the watching came to a close when Jason's quest finally began.
You weren't oblivious, you knew he was watching you. When he was gone, you missed his attention. To be fair he was a pretty nice sight as well, nice on the eyes. So you just decided, fuck it. YOLO !!!
Jason had gotten back from his quest this morning, and now it was almost time for bed. You jumped back in your trusted shadow and quickly made your way toward the Zeus cabin, slipping in from under the door. When you made your way in, you saw Jason sitting in his bed, and you walked out from the wall next to him.
"Hey there Roman boy." He jumped, just like the first time you scared him like that.
"You gotta stop scaring me like that."
"I like to keep people on their toes, it's fun."
"Almost gave me a heart attack."
"You literally just saved Hera's life from Gaia, I think you can handle me popping in on random." You smiled and plopped down criss-cross applesauce on Jason's bed. "That quest of yours sounded kind of funny anyways."
"What are you doing here anyways?" Jason would be lying if he said he didn't think about you once or twice while he was away.
"I was kinda bored. Missed having you follow me around." You snickered as Jason went a little red.
"I don't know what you talking about."
"You can't out stalk and stalker Jasonnnn," you chuckled, "your an interesting one you mini gladiator."
"I know I'm Roman but I'm not gladiator," Jason said in a matter-of-fact tone. You held up your hands in a fake surrender.
"Well my apologies. Anyways, what was it like saving the world," you never had a quest of your own, so listening to Jason talk about it was really interesting. You guys continued to talk until you realized how late it had gotten. You said your goodnights and you swung yourself under Jason's bed and disappeared. This was something Jason found to be really cool, and it was something that really drew him in to you.
Over the next few months you and Jason continued to talk and grow into friends. You may have been a little weird, but you were a sensible woman. Jason's loyalty, his leadership skills, his good morals, he was just such a genuine and kind hearted person. How could you have not fallen for him?
Thankfully the feeling was mutual. You were such an extroverted girl with a strong sense of adventure and outgoing energy. Jason just couldn't stay away, and despite what his father thought, Jason went on to ask the Nyx girl to be his girlfriend.
As weeks go on, everything is going perfect. Until Jason gets an unexpected visitor.
After practicing at the sword area, Jason makes his way back to his cabin to rest for a little before dinner. Except when he opens the door, he sees the last person he would've ever expected to see.
Hera.
"Well if it isn't Jupiter's favorite. What a lovely surprise." She smiled down a Jason, though it clearly was not a warm smile.
"Surprise..? This is my cabin.?" If Hera was offended by the comment, she didn't show it. Jason was confused as to why she was here, then he heard a noise from under his bed (where its dark), and he thought there couldn't have been a worse time for his girlfriend to show up.
"Ah, the special Nyx girl. Aphrodite has mentioned you in passing you know," Hera mused.
"Hope it was all good things.." You were just as confused as Jason. You looked at him and he just shrugged, and he honestly looked to nervous to ask. To be fair Jason was the result of her husbands affair, best to be careful. "Sooo, whatcha doing here?"
"Just wanted to see it for myself. My husband's child whom he had with another woman is dating a daughter of the one person he fears. Isn't that funny?" Hera chuckled but it didn't seem super friendly. You couldn't help but chuckle a little bit as well, Jason didn't know whether or not he too should also chuckle. In a bit of a pickle one would say.
"Seems like karma to me," you shrugged. Hera smirked and walked up to the both of you and held your hands in hers.
"Glad to hear you say that. Close your eyes." You both felt the room move around, and suddenly there was noise. You both opened your eyes and you gawked at the sight in front of you.
Olympus.
"Thought a nice little-" she paused for a second, "family.. dinner, was in order. It is only customary to introduce your girlfriend to your family, your father." Hera smiled as she dragged the two of you to the biggest room you've ever seen. There was a long table with four seats, though it probably could've fit maybe six. On the table there was so much food you thought you were gonna have to roll your way to the exit. And who was sitting at the head of the table? Zeus!!!!
"Hera, have you finally brought these secret guests of yours? I'm starving-" when he turned his head, he was shocked to see who Hera's 'guests' were. His eyes visibly widened when they landed on you. "What are these demigods doing here?"
Hera started leading the couple toward the table, motioning for them to take a seat. "I just thought you would've liked to meet your sons girlfriend." Hera seemed very amused with the situation in front of her. Oh how she loved to stir the pot.
Zeus cleared his throat, "Let's just eat shall we." Dinner was kind of awkward. Hera was leading the 'conversation,' which wasn't much of a conversation. While you were eating you went to reach for another piece of bread, you saw Zeus slightly flinched enough for everyone at the table to notice. Jason looked down at his plate trying to suppress a smile, but you on the other hand? Not as secretive in the slightest.
"Did you just flinch when I reached over for bread?" You tried not to laugh as you spoke.
"Are you speaking to me with disrespect?"
"It was a simple question?"
"Why must you bring this disrespectful girl to my dinner table?"
"Dad, that girl is my girlfriend." Jason spoke up, causing you to smile in your seat.
"And why must you choose a daughter of NYX as your.. girlfriend?" Zeus rolled his eyes, but you could see him slightly leaning away from you.
"Sucks when the people you care for fall for someone against your wishes isn't it," Hera said as she took a long sip of her wine while simultaneously stunning the table to silence with her one liner.
"Well," Jason started to stand, "It's getting late. Thanks for the dinner, but it's time we start heading back."
'Right as it was getting juicy' you thought to yourself. Still, you agreed and reluctantly stood up along with Jason.
"Fine, if you insist. HERMES!" Hera yelled out, and he quickly appeared.
"Hera?" He questioned, then saw the two demigods by the table. "Need me to take them back to camp for you?"
"If you'd be so kind, I'm just too tired to do it myself," she said as she continued to drink her wine. Thankfully he was so kind, because the two of you were now standing back in Jason's cabin. You looked at each other so confused with how to evening unraveled.
"Well that was.. something." Jason said. You couldn't help yourself and just doubled over in laughter. Something about your laughter was so contagious Jason just had to join in.
"Oh my gods the way your dad flinched when I lifted my hand" you choked out between laughs. You fell over into Jasons bed and was rolling around laughing, while Jason just took a seat next to you. You started to calm down and just stared at Jason as he stared at you. You then sat up and leaned toward Jason.
Sadly, your plans to make out with your boyfriend were ruined by Chiron bursting though the doors asking why the two of you have missed dinner!!!!

cletho 80s au! +some other goobers
design notes under the cut
feel free to ask about this au!
so cleos looks are obviously based on her limited life/secret life skin. i wanted it to be a bit more casual, more like an outfit she'd be wearing in public than one she's working out in. a lot of neon, a lot of high waisted, very 80s.
ethos outfit isn't as directly 80s inspired. i moreso wanted it to be a plausible outfit for the decade rather than directly inspired by the decade. it also fits ethos character more in the au. hes kind of a delinquent, so the mask and the oversized jacket help hide his identity. doesnt hide the white hair though. he's also overall less eye-catching than cleo, so compared to her, he kinda blends into the background.
the characters on the bottom are each kind of based on a certain 80s subcultures/stereotype. kind of.
bdubs doesnt fit with this design logic. he's kind of a time traveler in this au, so he has a more timeless outfit. he still gets a turtleneck and high tops because those are fun though.
bigb also isn't based on anything specific. he mostly just has staple pieces that were popular in the 80s, like his cardigan and cargo pants. he gets to be comfy. also his hair was so fun to draw.
lizzie has a very preppy style. i wanted her to look like she was either getting back from studying or about to play tennis. i considered actually giving her a tennis racket buttt i decided not to. the pink hair doesnt really fit but it wouldn't be lizzie without it lol.
joel is based on a punk style, inspired by his bad boys outfit, obvs. no real design notes, except i added rips to his jeans (for cool points), gave him platforms (so he could be the same height as lizzie), and gave him a collar (again for cool points). i like how he turned out.
grian is of course based off the archetypical nerd, because i wanted to give him a sweater vests. i actually love sweater vests, but i can never figure out how to style them except with a button up underneath. so thats what he gets. the knee patches on his slacks are purple, as a subtle watcher nod and also because if i dont add color i will die. his bowl cut is very silly.
ill draw other traffic characters later but i only had room for so many

The Life Series and Eyes (A Headcanon Rambling)
hello traffiblr! Y'all voted to have me rant about the life series and my personal headcanons regarding eyes, so. Here we go!
Overview
So let me hit you guys with a quick overview.
Tumblr media
here's a quick reference. While these all depend on the individual, and the series, I'll explain what each general eye color means.
4+ Lives
People with 4+ lives fall into this category. Their eyes are a dark green, bordering on teal. I think it would be interesting if A. eyes act as a sort of weak gradient in terms of 4-1 lives. So, there's a bit more blue. 2. Personal headcanons regarding speakers, and their colors. 3. A sort of parallel to the Boogey eyes. both are very dark. So its harder to tell if they have 4+ lives somehow, or if they're boogey.
3 Lives
A classic. A nice, simple green. While the exact hue varies depending on the person (because of either violent or peaceful behavior/simply what looks good with them), greens have generally bright green eyes.
2 Lives
Similarly to 3, the exact hue depends on behavior of the individual. Someone who's more violent would be closer to an amber, while peace loving players lean towards more of a yellow-green. The eyes are always clearly yellow, though.
1 Life
While the others would go towards a color dependent on behavior, all bets are called off for reds. The hue is purely aesthetic. It is no longer a clue towards general behavior. There's rarely any allowance for personal preferences in reds. All they can see is violence and conquest.
Boogey
Basically, I reject the idea of boogies having purple eyes or glints for symbolism with watchers. It's far more threatening to me if their normally bright colored eyes are chips of the void. Obviously, characters still have pupils, I just don't include them in my style. I can't decide if Boogies have pure black eyes, or if their eyes are a dried-blood color so dark it only seems reddish in light.
0 Lives / Dead
And finally, we have grey eyes. When it comes to deaths before the final death, the bodies disappear quickly, as soon as the person respawns, I'd wager. But after that final death, their body remains. Their eyes quickly lose all color, and end up as grey. This was chosen just out of design choice, the lifeless look, and also, by incident, Scar's red-life skin. It makes him completely greyscale, so a similar logic applies here.
Character Specific Colors
Here's a quick guide to character specific colors. Again, everyone has a unique one. Do note that most of these are simply what looks good, as I've only had the time to watch Grian's pov, and not anyone elses.
Tumblr media
Ik they don't really... look good and may not fit, but hey, I'm here to rant about design ideas, not actual colors lol. And you will not believe how hard it is to make 16 different palletes unique and at least kinda match the character while having the same main 4 colors. I will address Grian, dw. Boogey and dead eyes are the same color, regardless of character.
3rd Life
Alright, so, from the base rules, nothing changes. It uses the same logic mentioned up above. Green, yellow, red, and grey. There's no real special mentions here that are exclusive to 3L.
Last Life
Similarly to 3L, LL lacks any specific changes to eyes. The only addition are the new eye colors for boogey and 4+.
Double Life
Here, characters share eye colors. What do I mean by this? I mean, their signature eye colors are at a gradient with their soulmate's. So, for example, Pearl and Scott's Green eyes are mixed as a gradient with both are on green. This applies for every life, and every soulbond. It gives people slight clues as to who exactly their soulmate is, but its hard to tell. When scar showed up boasting purple eyes, everyone was confused, to say the least lmao.
Limited Life
Tumblr media
ok i'm definitely the happiest with this one. The idea is that everyone's eyes are functionally, like a clock. I illustrated it really badly, but the idea is cool ok. The idea is that like, idk, every 1/8 of someone's eye represents an hour. Every hour lost from the 'benchmark' turns to the next color. For example, if someone has 24 hours, their eyes are pure green. If they have, say, 18, they only have 1/4 (2/8) of green left, the rest of their eye being green. If they have only an hour left, they only have an 1/8 of an eye red, the rest being grey. The color of their current life slowly recedes in an almost spiral pattern as time goes on. If someone somehow had 24+ hours, same rule would apply to their 4+ life, so to speak. they'd only have a sliver of the dark green, with most of their eye being their 'normal' green.
Grian
okay, I know for sure people are questioning why Grian's eyes are neon purple. The reason why is on the simpler side. Watcher. He's the only one out of the players to be an actual watcher. Some people (like Pearl and BigB) definitely have some ties to them, but Grian's the only full blown watcher. (Martyn is tied to the listeners, who are green to me, so his colors are greener despite being prone to violence lmao. And Scott is tied more to the Speakers, who are blueish/cyan to me. Pearl, as Scott's soulmate in DL, has that bluish tint to a degree. )
But, you might ask, how do people not notice??? Well, its because of my Grian design.
This is old and it doesn't quite show my idea well, but alas.
Tumblr media
I've already made reference images for this and I can't find the motive to draw a Grian headshot lmao. The idea is taking the Watcher's face plate. You know the one. The mask. And taking that, and instead of having the Evo symbol, no, it has, guess what. Grian's weird freaking eyes. Yep. Whether this was his attempt at camouflaging himself among non-watchers, or if it was his basically middle finger towards them, refusing to show obvious alliance with them, idk. All I know is he basically vandalized his Watcher mask. Still, you might say, that doesn't explain why is eye color is purple. Well, if you take away his mask, it's either basically a void with purple eyes inside, or probably some sort of void looking crack through his face, as if it isn't actually flesh. He can choose to have 'normal' eyes, but they always remain that Alexandria's Genesis purple, and it messes with his sight. Basically he sees too much. (I'd elaborate in my Watcher/Listener/Speaker post if people wanted 👀)

Spoilers for season 5 of tma lol
I think Jonah lied about it being “Nice while it lasted.” ‘It’ obviously being the centre of the Watchers eye. I dont think he really understood what he was getting himself into with the Watchers ritual. The Watcher would’ve told him some things but not others. It would’ve promised him immortality and told him what it would take but not what it would cost him. Feeling everyone in the worlds fear all at once wouldve been torture, especially considering the ritual wasnt made for him. It was made for the Archivist. It was made for Jon. So Jonah lied, he lied so Jon would think that he won, even for a short while, Jonah had won.
Jonah was still human. Even after 200 years he was still so disgustingly human. Immortality is impossible. Everything ends eventually.

streamer!au
being tomura's assistant was... hard.
what started out as some kid sitting in a dimly-lit beige room transformed into joining orgs, e-sports, drinking too much, and giving you a non-stop headache.
@tomraki: dream is fucking ugly lol
another headache. your jaw drops as the retweets begin to grow and the quote retweets threaten to drop your dear streamer's address or beloved ... well, anything. dream stans were ruthless.
"tomura!! you cannot, under any circumstances, say something like that!" he eyed you lazily before surfing through his files, saving fanart and writing down stream ideas.
"i'm not allowed to say the truth?"
"no! you aren't! you're getting devoured and what are you going to do if your org retaliates against you? we already had an issue with your gambling and then Twitch banned it and then you made a statement! again!"
he sighs drearily, "they banned my fucking revenue, i'm allowed to make a fuss about it. and aren't you supposed to support my every move?"
the way his eyes pierced you, and the slow creeping grin etched on his face grew every second. he was right, he was your boss.
but you weren't some doormat. you were shigaraki tomura's assistant for god's sake! you always retaliated.
"right, of course. that's why i scheduled a minecraft manhunt with you and him together for next week! so maybe you can tell it to his face next time."
"you didn't."
bouncy steps flee out the room before he can exact his wrath, "have fun!"
"FUCK!"
... oddly enough, he could be sweet. you'd seen him with fans too young to be watching him; he didn't go goo-goo eyed but he held a softness because he too was once a watcher of his favorite creators.
the circle of life, you guessed.
"are you having fun?" somehow, shigaraki had been lumped in with some of the more American streamers when he travelled from his cozy Japan studio to sunny California.
"no." "well, i know you like that whiskey sour." "it's mid. americans can't do anything right."
you shrug, that's enough of that. you lean against the wall while sitting next to him. he has a bit of a flush, but he needed this considering he saw StickyTape (Sero, an unfunny and bad gamer in his opinion) walk in. he knew people would be gunning for him to interact, post selfies, play happy streamer...
and his eyes wandered over to you again. god, could he quit it?
"you look nice." "do i? i wore my best skirt! figured i'd be seeing lots of famous people and networking for you, had to give em' something to look at."
the whiskey sour's in his veins now, and he decides to give up on filtering.
"your face is good enough." "what?"
are you that stupid? did you not hear what he just said?
tomura was no stranger to flirting with you, he liked to tease that eventually you two would fuck and that you'd be whining about wanting to be his and only his. and maybe you sometimes felt special knowing that you were backstage because he demanded you be there, not because it was just your job. and a long time ago, on a night he was falling in your arms due to the alcohol buzzing through his system that he whispered ...
"you're the worst assistant ever." "why?" "because you'll never love me the way i want."
what was appropriate to say? he snored into his pillow as you tenderly took off his shoes. obviously, he wasn't getting as many girls as he claimed if he couldn't see the love woven into every interaction with him
"my head hurts." "wanna go home? karl jacobs is looking our way, maybe it's best to get going anyways." "jesus, yeah let's go."
and just like that, the two of you left hand in hand.
@tomraki: how do you confess your love to someone?
@rakistanz: just tell her!
shigaraki (work): i love you

Okay, let's try to get into this, The Legend of Vox Machina spoilers obviously
First of all, I only now noticed that in the intro Vax is the only one not waking up when the strings of fate(?) Pass the group by foreshadowing!!
I love that they start with the few last minutes of the first season, they're important but also the perspective changed and so good
They don't forget Gilmore this time! More Vax and Gilmore content and I love it so much
Vax already seeing the Raven Queen, already weaving that in, my poor boy is getting tormented but I love that they do that
All the dragons are so unique and so terrifying and the voice acting is so good holy shit barely recognised Liam as Vorugal, they're all so terrifying
The destruction of Emon is so beautiful and they show so easily just how in over their head they are
Finding Gilmore in his shop, poor scanlan not being able to get some gadgets except for Vex' future broom, Vax hovering over Gilmore
I can be wrong but I think they haven't resurrected anyone yet, it's always been that they are (barely still alive) is Vex gonna be the first one??? That will make it so much more devastating
That little girl with green eyes! I see you! We're all larkin watchers now
Oh boy Whitestone starting to thrive again and them convincing Scanlan like that to not run away, pushing him to stay. They're setting Scanlan leaving up so well and we're all gonna be devastated and I feel so bad for Scanlan
Lol, the tree falling, it was coming
The twins having ties to the Slayers take, I was wondering how they'd do that without having to put too much time in it but the twins screwing them over and Vex and Zahra not getting along and I am so happy for it
Kash immediately flirting with Keyleth, Keyleth liking it not knowing how to handle it and Vax being grumpy about it, amazing
Osysa is destroying them and that is so traumatising for them. Scanlan hearing/getting confirmed that noone cares about him? His deepest fear? The twins being separated? Osysa just gets in their and rips their heart and traumas out huh?
Okay but Grog not going to the take cause he just gets distracted and finding earthbreaker Groon and getting taught a lesson from him? Amazing wonderful, Osysa would have no effect on Grog anyway but Groon knows how to handle him
Kash and Zahra following them!!!! Grog gets his beard and a part shaved off already and they all put that in there
Vex not being allowed on the ice but Scanlan is and then being in danger and noone of VM saving him, he's going through it
Oh I forgot but apparently there is a Caduceaus cameo in Vasselheim? I didn't see it but the screenshot are cool
And also RQ in vasselheim and Vax seeing her, he's being tormented
And Percy is clearly getting more comfortable with the group and wanting to be helpful and man they're setting his guilt up very well too (also I am waiting till Vax calls him Freddy)
Really showing how codependent the twins are and how much Vax needs Vex, that is shown so well and Vax getting more and more overprotective
DO NOT GO FAR FROM ME and you've been saying that our whole life I'll be fine (NO SHE WON'T BE THIS WILL HURT SO MUCH)
Man their father sucks but those flashbacks are so good
Kash and Zahra ditching them
Vax telling everyone not to touch anything but Percy doing to anyway and Vex telling him not too but Percy egging her on and Vex saying no don't touch the armour we should wait till my brother is back but Percy is too quick and do you see how his heart breaks and the horror in his eyes and the light leaving Vex' and trinket roaring and Vax I was gone for 30 seconds and the flashbacks with Vax seeing you don't need me but I need you and everyone surrounding him and Vex dead and he is embracing her and then the episode is done and I can't handle that
I for sure missed a lot but there is so much there and I have only watched them one time yet but the title credits as well and they're setting everything up so well like Percy opening up and ready to be helpful but then he kills Vex and Vax warning everyone to be careful so clearly setting his anger up as well, Scanlan is so obviously feeling left out and Pike is clearly concerned for Grog who is oblivious to it all and the warnings that his sword is evil. Keyleth still so insecure and not knowing what to do but also another home taken from her. Vex and the approval she needs from her father and how much she cares for Vax as well but also might find him a little overbearing sometimes but still wanting to listen to him and clearly stuck between those
I just love this show so much and cannot wait till the next episodes
Also let me know if I missed moments there was so much and I need to rewatch them like a hundred times

I do think that Paul evidently struggled with resentment over John's death elevating him into this martyr icon, and to a greater degree than many on this site seem to - but it's still insane to be reading that into that clip where he's just so obviously distraught and annoyed with the press, not people loving John lol. I mean if you're attributing self interest to his demeanour at all in that moment when the shock is so evidently raw, imo the main concern would have likely been some crazy guy attacking him too, not being bitter about John getting praised in obituaries or whatever.
yeah yeah exactly. Like if lewisohn was just like 'paul had a lot of resentment about john getting treated like a saint after his death often to pauls detriment' then yeah sure fine no notes there. But it's just sooo incredibly mean-spirited to look at a video of a man obviously in shock and heartbreak the DAY his best friend died and to go 'yeah actually he's just really mad that people are saying nice things about john instead of him' and then to basically be like 'yeah I know this because I'm such an astute paul watcher' with the implication that obviously if you disagree you just don't observe paul well enough instead of, yknow, being a person with enough empathy to recognize the outright despair in pauls eyes in that interview. Like yeah I can tell paul is irritated but it's obviously because a reporter is asking him invasive ass questions and straight up not even listening to his answers (i.e. paul saying he found out this morning and the interviewer a few questions later asking what time he found out like he already told u???) I think anybody would be irritated then BFF

Canary (Life Series)
(Regarding Jimmy waking up in Last Life, and discovering he has been changed. I have a lot of thoughts about Canary!Jimmy and tried to compile them all! This has sat in my drafts for a while and I've decided to just post it instead of nitpicking it any further lol. Enjoy!)
CW: Death mentions, dehumanizing, deprecating thoughts, minor body horror
-
Jimmy didn't move for a long time after he first spawned in.
He felt them there. Wings. Hanging off his shoulders with just as much weight as his other limbs. Even when trying not to move, he would sometimes twitch as a human body does (he's human, he's always been human, and he always will be, he HAS to be, right?), and the wings would move too.
It settled an icy dread deep in his chest, to know he'd been changed like this. Against his will. It was so minor, but the mere fact that it happened paralyzed him to the core. What if this was just the beginning?
(What else would happen to him?)
Eventually, he got tired and cramped from his position, and he reasoned he didn't have time for a crisis right now. He could feel that there was something different in this world, although waking up with no memory as to how he arrived was also a pretty good indicator. He was in a death game. Again.
Well, the W--no, don't talk about them. They love it when they're brought up in conversation, and their attention is never a good thing to have.
Anyway, the...game makers tended to throw a handful of players in, so Jimmy at least knew he was not alone.
He set off to search for others. And, for a while, it was as normal as a death game could be, with a few twists of course. They always felt the need to shake things up.
But, Jimmy made friends, and was soon setting up shop as a member of the Southlands.
He turned his back on Grian to harvest some wood, and his friend froze. "Tim...you've got wings."
"Yeah, I gathered that." Jimmy replied with as much neutrality as he could muster. "I can't fly, though, I tried."
He didn't know what he expected, really. If Grian couldn't fly, with wings as grand as he had, why would Jimmy be able to?
(Good for nothing, as usual, isn't it just hilarious?)
"Are they at least colorful?" Jimmy asked, attempting to stay upbeat. "I can't see them, obviously."
Jimmy's wings were so small that even when he figured out how to move them, he couldn't see them, even when he stretched as hard as he could and nearly broke his own neck craning around for a look.
Grian looked constipated, like he didn't know what to say.
"They're yellow." He finally said. Jimmy nodded thoughtfully. "Fits the color scheme, at least--"
"They're canary wings, Jimmy." Grian interrupted, his tone akin to what it would be when telling somebody terrible news.
Jimmy stared blankly. "Okay? What does that mean?"
Grian looked at him for a long time, his mouth pressed into a thin line, until he finally shrugged and turned away. "Doesn't matter."
And just like that, they were back to normal, making "aha" puns while building up the Southlands base. Jimmy wanted to believe in the peace and the laughter that he knew was precious, so he didn't let his mind linger on their conversation.
He noticed Grian avoided looking him in the eyes from then on, though.
It was only later, when they were on their red lives and Grian's blade ran him through the back, that Jimmy couldn't avoid his thoughts anymore and he finally put together what his friend had been so odd about.
Jimmy was the first to die. Again. As if he was an omen that death was coming for the rest of them, a canary going silent in the coal mine that was this twisted game.
Of course. It was a cruel joke that Jimmy was the butt of. He didn't know what he expected.
The worst part was that the wings stayed when he woke up again.
This game was different, as they all were. This time, he had a Soulmate, who he met through death.
It really couldn't get any more poetic than that. Jimmy knew that the Watchers just loved it. It made his stomach clench with a bitter anger.
But he couldn't be mad at Tango. It wasn't his fault that a creeper dropped on his head. Just like it wasn't Jimmy's fault that he was going to die first.
He still felt crushing guilt at the fact that he took Tango with him.
If Jimmy was the Watchers' new joke, fine. But attaching him to someone else just to have them die too was infuriatingly unfair.
He was relieved when the next game was different. Nobody was bound to him, or his fate. Everybody was on an even field; 24 hours to live.
Going through the motions was easy. Set up camp, get food squared away, find a beginning alliance. This time, it was Grian and Joel.
They decided to call themselves the Bad Boys, and Jimmy kept his wings firmly tucked inside his matching leather jacket.
(Out of sight, out of mind.)
As the sun set on their first night, Jimmy stared at the stars from atop the smouldering mansion, squished between his allies in beds pressed so close together that they might as well be one.
Maybe this time would be different. Maybe the fourth time would be the charm, and next time Jimmy would wake up without the canary wings that sealed his fate from the start.
He'd always been one for hoping.
END.

Hi~
In your last story you talked about Yuuji giving Sukuna a second chance, I was wondering if you could imagine him having a redemption arc (I mean sort of because I honestly love how Sukuna is as an evil person *lol*) in your stories or in the Manga?
I mean as if in a turn of events, Sorcerers are also not that good towards humans and curses alike to be fair... And I feel as if the Manga is based on their opinion mostly but I would love a backstory (evil or not) on Sukuna ! Sorry I digress... But I love how you portray him in your stories, both evil and soft for his children/ Yuuji , I absolutely loved how non-judgemental he was when Yuuji admitted he liked being tickled (also, real thought, I definitely imagine Sukuna is ticklish but the person trying to get him would die *-*)
I love your stories, and I hope you'll have an amazing day!
Hi!! Welcome Anon!
I'm actually so happy that you asked this because I've been dying to get into my thoughts on the matter of Sukuna and his motives and the possibility of a redemption arc for him.
I think I could definitely see a redemption arc for him, at the very least he definitely has one in my own world that I've created, and from what very little we know about him in the Manga/Anime it's very possible. Redemption is not the word I'd use though, I'd say in a manner of speaking, he's allowed the opportunity to show his true colors. So to say.
As we all know, history is written by the victor, and as a species humanity is well known for not looking kindly on things we don't understand. Personally, I think the second set of eyes came in after his resurrection as a Cursed Spirit, but his image with four arms is his natural form. Based on the real Ryomen Sukuna we know of, historically he did have four arms, and because of this he was treated with disdain and cruelty.
I personally love the idea of Sukuna being more on the Evil Side because of betrayal and the heinous treatment he received for being a 'mutant' as he was. Due to the fact that it was the Jujutsu Sorcerers of the time he was hunted down and slaughtered who wrote the Story that the Jujutsu World knows (and thus us as the Reader/Watcher see too) it's hard to imagine them writing that Sukuna was a decent person with a kind heart while then describing how they savagely killed him for no other reason then being something they didn't understand.
In my opinion, originally, despite how he was treated by those around him for his 'deformities' Sukuna wasn't the Evil Power Hungry Villain he was painted out to be. Obviously he had Cursed Energy, strong Cursed Energy at that, but I imagine him being sort of a recluse and keeping mainly to himself because from his experience being around normal society those like him are met with disdain and mistreatment. He wasn't evil, not at the start, he wasn't cruel, not in the beginning. As he became stronger of his own learning and such, due to the fact he was already perceived as a 'bad omen' or even more a 'curse' because of his appearance, he was betrayed.
His initial statement of "You Jujutsu Sorcerers never change! No matter the Era!" is very telling to me in the way things actually went down between them back in the day. It gives way, in my opinion, that perhaps he faced betrayal by someone or a small group of individuals that he trusted and was brutally murdered for it. Sukuna was then reborn from the fear and hatred of those who knew him and the hatred he had in his own heart for the people he thought he could trust who turned on him without hesitation.
The idea that Yuuji treats him as a Person over that of a Curse, not so much as overlooking the things he did after he came back as a Cursed Spirit but not allowing the opinions of others to determine his own view of someone, is so important to me. Because I feel as if the Sukuna written about in the Jujutsu Texts and the real Sukuna without given reason to treat someone with disdain and hatred are two vastly different individuals.
Yuuji treating Sukuna like he does everyone else, with decency and humanity and respect, could very well be what breaks this Character Sukuna's been forced into playing. A means to show the others that you shouldn't believe everything you hear or read, especially the latter in a historical context, because often more times then not vital details are always left out to give way to the notion that the savagery that was bestowed upon a person/civilization was deserved to ensure those who did the act don't come out appearing as Mass Murderers/Savages themselves. Ultimately shifting the blame from the true Evil party to the Party who could not defend themselves due to the fact of their ultimate vanquishing.
LOL sorry for rambling!! Hope this makes sense!!

summary: bang chan is a hunter. not an ordinary hunter, no, a supernatural hunter. his lover is resurrected from the dead, given a mission by the devil himself. (femdemon!reader hunter!bangchan, reunited lovers, lee know cameo, supernatural au, inspired by the show supernatural obviously. winchester brothers mentioned lol)
warnings: angst, fluff, mentions of death, explicit mentions of injuries, mentions of murder, lowercase intended, let me know if i missed any (:
a/n: super hyper fixated on supernatural (the show) recently, its not necessarily accurate to the show it has my own little twist, so this is for my supernatural watchers (; (and those who just enjoy this kind of stuff lol)

of course you knew this would happen eventually, you’d be bound to a chair or a bed by a hunter in no time. however, you didn’t expect it to be someone you were familiar with. someone who, before you went to hell and lucifer turned you, was very important to you. you wriggled your wrist under the rope leaving a burning sensation. “god this is ridiculous.” you mumbled. you were in a motel room, the man in question sitting on a bed in front of you, legs spread in a relaxed position. he chuckled, “you know it’s not funny to play with someone’s feelings, to prance around in her body. though, i’ve never encountered your kind of demon. hell shapeshifting demons? haven’t seen one on earth in centuries.” you shook your head rapidly. “channie this is a misunderstanding it is me.” he crossed is arms, “the only time i’ve ever heard of someone rising from the dead he was brought back by an angel; those brothers from america. lucifer doesn’t have that kind of power.” — “if you’d listen you’d understand.” you said gritting your teeth. “and why should i do that? all you demons do is lie, it’s in the job description.” he threw holy water at your face, steam rising as you felt like your skin would melt off. you seethed, “if you exercise me i’ll have to find a skin suit to use and i don’t want to get my hands dirty.” he stood up furrowing his eyebrows, “if i exercise you, you’re banished to hell.” he said in a confused tone. “you’re wrong. i was put back here for a reason, because i made a deal.” he walked around the chair in a circle, “i’ll let you tell your little story.” he said with a cocky smirk. he sat back on the bed, “a soul for a soul.” he scoffed, “what?” you rolled your eyes, “i made a deal to give lucifer a soul if i could have mine back, i just have to kill the son of a bitch myself.” he chuckled again, “see that’s why i don’t trust you, y/n wouldn’t kill a random innocent person.” — “you know that serial killer the cops are after? it’s not a random innocent person… it’s someone who deserves it.” his eyes widened slightly, “yeah the one who killed me.”
“so how exactly does this work?” it had been nearly an hour, you were still bound to the chair but you were gaining his trust. “if i kill him myself, i won’t be this anymore, i’ll be back with you and we can be partners again. we can be together again.” he thought for a second, a look of contemplation on his face. “how do i know i can trust you?” — “because it’s engraved on your heart.” you said through frustrated, gritted teeth. “what is that supposed to mean?” you scoffed, “don’t play dumb, you’ve heard of it. soul ties? god you’d think years of experience would teach you a thing or two.” he ran his hands through his hair, “so what? if our souls are tied and you fail this mission, i die? and you- you stay like that?” you nodded your head, “precisely. it’s a cruel punishment but deals come with consequences. i live for an eternity as a monster without you.” he began to pace around the room, “you shouldn’t have to think. you just have to trust me, the only proof you would have is keeping me here until you die. which is at midnight might i add.” you shouted. he glanced at the clock, 9:00pm. “do you know where this guy is? if you’re really you then you’d be smart enough to track him.” you mentally facepalmed, “i can smell a hell bound soul a mile away. came with the job description.” you repeated his words with a smirk. “if i untie you you’re out of the door right away, and i know how to track you if you’re gone past midnight.” you smiled, “you’ve got a deal.” he untied you and you quickly stepped toward the front door, you turned to face him, “see you soon.” and with that you left. you picked up the man’s scent pretty quickly, you ran through the woods and into a clearing. he was close, you couldn’t pinpoint where until you heard a shrill scream. you ran to the noise, a woman tied to a tree the same way you had been when this man had killed you. the man approached her, holding a knife to her neck. you held your hand out, using your new power to throw him at a nearby tree, holding him there. you ran to the woman, untying her, “run as far as you can until you find someone who can help.” she nodded and dodged through the dark woods. “what- what are you?” the man questioned frantically. “oh please you don’t remember me? victim number five?” you taunted. you stepped closer, the moon light cascading over your face. “but- but how?” you chuckled, “just wait until you meet him face to face.”
it was almost ten by now, you were having fun. torturing your killer, making him beg for mercy the same way you had. “please i- i’ll do anything, i’ll turn myself in!” he pleaded. “tsk where you’re going is worse than any prison you could ever imagine.” you lifted your hand again, “no please no!” with a twist of your wrist his neck snapped and he toppled to the floor. “i have to say if we hadn’t made this deal i’d love to have you as a permanent soldier.” a familiar voice said from behind you. you turned around, “minho?” you said with widened eyes. “relax im only using his body for laughs.” you balled your fists, “you killed my brother?” he put his arms up defensively, “no no sweet girl, but he’ll be pretty messed up when i’m done with him.” tears pricked your eyes, “i did what you asked.” he came closer, using his index finger to lift your chin. “good girl. now you get to live a full, happy life with your lover.” he put his index and middle finger to your forehead, mumbling something in latin. a white light appeared and forced its way down your throat, the darkness that clouded your mind was whisked away. your body began to feel weaker, “now, given the fact that you rose as a demon you were strong, but now you’ve got your soul. it’s going to be a healing process.” he said with a smirk. you slowly kneeled as your knees felt weak. your eyes flooded with tears and a burning sensation coated your neck. he removed his fingers, grabbing a broken bottle from the ground and holding it at your eye level. “take a look.” in your reflection you saw a scar had formed on your neck, where your throat had been slit at your death. “it’ll be permanent but then you’ll have a story to tell at christmas dinner. besides you’re a hunter, it’s kind of pitiful you were murdered by a civilian.” he teased sinfully. “let my brother go.” your voice now hoarse. “it would be my pleasure.” his head shot up and black smoke shot out of his mouth, floating above his body and plummeting into the ground. his body toppled to the ground and you hurried to catch him. “y/n?” he whispered with squinted eyes. “c’mon we have to go.” you pulled his arm over your shoulder.
you stumbled through the hallways of the motel searching for the room chan was in. the time was pushing 11:50pm. you found the room and began to bang on the door with your free hand, your other arm occupied by holding your younger brother up. “christopher open the damn door!” you shouted. it swung open and suddenly you both were pulled inside. you struggled to keep minho up when you felt a splash of water on your face. only this time, it didn’t burn. “seriously?” you said with a glare. “s-so you weren’t lying?” chan said in disbelief. “no time for that he needs rest.” he quickly helped you bring your brother into the bed, laying him flat on his back. “he didn’t hurt him physically but he drained his energy, he passed out halfway through the walk back.” — “what about you? when people rise from the dead it isn’t exactly unicorns and rainbows.” he said sternly. “i’ll be fine i’m more worried about him.” you said standing up fully. chan could finally see you now, he hadn’t gotten a good look at you since you were kneeling over your brother. he hurriedly lifted your chin, examining the healed scar in panic. “chan i’m fine, i was brought back by lucifer did you expect me to come back without my cause of death evident?” he chuckled, “god i’ve missed you.” his hand went from your neck to your cheek, leaning in slowly. “y/n?” your brother croaked. you rushed to his side. “b-but how? i thought you were dead.” he said as he tried to sit up, failing miserably as he groaned in pain. “you need to rest, i’ll explain everything later.”
you sat at the side of the bed watching minho like a hawk. he slept peacefully yet every flinch or twitch worried you. a pair of hands rested on your shoulders, chan knelt in front of you, “he’ll be alright, you need to regain your strength as well. you’ve been dead for three months i’m sure some sleep will do you good.” he joked with a soft smile. you rubbed your face with your hands, “i didn’t want to have to tell him about my job.” you began to tear up. “hey, hey if anything this is my fault. you wouldn’t be a hunter if i hadn’t dragged you along with me.” he held your cheek in his hand, wiping a stray tear with his thumb. “it’s not your fault, being in love with someone means sacrifices. if i have to sacrifice a normal life to be with you then i’ll do it.” you said seriously. “we can have a normal life. we can retire, get married, start a family. we know how to protect ourselves from nearly everything. if anything comes after us we know how to fight, but i promise, no more jobs. there are plenty of hunters out there to pick up where we left off. i’m not going to lose you again.” you wrapped your arms around his neck, harshly planting your lips on his. your lips moved against each other like they were made for one another. technically speaking, they were. you pulled away breathing heavily, “we should move to daegu.” you said surely. he chuckled, “anything for you.” you smiled as he pulled you in for another kiss.
five years later >>
you dipped your paintbrush into a dark green paint, carefully swiping it on the canvas. the beautiful country side in front of you didn’t even realize how much of a muse it had become for you. chan emerged from the front door, stepping onto the porch you had been residing on all morning. he handed you a glass of ice water before tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. “how many mornings am i going to see my beautiful wife out here painting the same view?” he questioned with a soft smile. you stood up from your stool wiping your hands on your apron and setting the glass down on your easel. “until i’ve painted every single new flower that grows.” you said as you wrapped your arms around his waist, looking up at him with admiration. you were chest to chest, and you could feel his heart thumping against yours. you both could hear each others hearts beating rhythmically. “i’ll never get tired of that feeling.” he said with a satisfied sigh. you kissed the corner of his lips, “i’m glad it’s you.” — “it will always be me, my name is engraved on your heart.”

Mag 20
Tumblr media
So it turns out that line about being marked that I couldn't figure out last episode was possibly the Web speaking to the Desolation and basically calling dibs on this guy? Either way he is definitely being puppeted around by the Web at least in this moment.
Tumblr media
But he's still definitely also being possessed by the Spiral. This statement is such a mess of different Entities. I blame Hilltop Road for that, it screws with names and timelines, why not manifestations as well?
Tumblr media
This is definitely the Eye.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which is weird, because the guy using the Eye powers appears to be a manifestation of the Stranger. The entire statement straight up makes no sense.
Tumblr media
This was the point at which I realised why this statement annoys me so much. Obviously the source of horror in this statement is being unable to trust your own senses and control your own actions, but the fact that the statement-giver is such an unreliable narrator that the listener can't even track the day of the week just makes the whole thing feel like an exercise in futility to me. I can't even tell what's going on, why should I care about any of this?
Tumblr media
More Eye stuff. Father Burroughs is truly screwed, everything is after him.
Tumblr media
Lol ding-dong motherfuckers.
Who are these people in the crowd supposed to be? Strangers? Watchers? Corrupted? Just like everything in this statement, they have aspects of so many different Entities that it's pointless trying to figure it out.
Tumblr media
I don't know what the deal with the bell is either, but this is the best part of the episode because its so ridiculous. Maybe the reason this episode doesn't vibe with me is that it's full of religious symbolism and themes that are going completely over the top of my head.
Tumblr media
YUCK. He peeled and ate them!! YUCK.

could you do headcanons of what 4town would dress up as for halloween?
What 4town members would dress up as for Halloween!
@chocolatechimsugakookie2 did these first and they were SO GOOD.
(These are going to take place in a modern universe btw and also I’m not including pictures for all of them because it will only let me post 10 🙄)
Robaire - Robaire would definitely be more into costumes that make him look good. He wouldn’t primarily choose a goofy costume unless T forces him into it. Some costumes I could picture Robaire wearing would be:
an Angel (lol)
Tumblr media
Like these wings with a halo and probably some kind of skimpy/sheer shirt of some sort, but maybe he wouldn’t even wear a shirt which gains scoffs and eye rolls from Z and Jesse.
Ok also I could picture him doing the same thing except with devil horns and a tail (and a bow tie lmao).
I could see him dressed as a vampire with the fangs and the blood, and the neck ruffle and vest, but he obviously would not wear a shirt underneath smh.
Jesse - Jesse would do the most half assed Halloween costumes, which the other members disown him for.
He would do the kind of lazy shit like drawing a face on a red t shirt and claiming that he is dressed as “the kool aid man”
Tumblr media
Or he would just cut holes in a sheet and go as a ghost, but would be over it after 20 minutes and take the sheet off.
Tae Young - Tae likes dressing up as classic characters usually, cartoon characters or characters from popular franchises that he loves. Some costumes that I feel like he would dress up as would be:
Harry Potter
Idk why I just can picture him in the Gryffindor robes with the glasses and scar. I feel like he’s pretty into Harry Potter.
I could also picture him dressed up as Luke Skywalker.
Tumblr media
I think him in the white outfit from A New Hope with the lightsaber and his blonde hair would be perfect.
Jack Skellington
I can’t really explain this one, I just think it would work. He wouldn’t wear a mask or anything, but he’d have his face painted and the skeleton gloves and suit and everything.
Aaron T - ok so I have a few ideas for the Aaron’s, so I’m gonna do them individually and then together in duo costumes after 😭
Ok so T was (and still is) definitely an avid watcher of Gravity Falls, and he would totally dress as Dipper.
Tumblr media
He has the perfect hair, and the hat would be perfect also.
Dustin Henderson
Tumblr media
I think all of the members would be big big Stranger Things fans, but Dustin would be a perfect costume for T. Like Dipper, he has the right hair, plus the hat, and he would probably carry around a plush demidog.
Aaron Z - Z would be more into the angsty Halloween costumes, but he wouldn’t take it too seriously.
I think one costume that would be kind of hilarious to see him wear would be Edward Cullen from Twilight.
Tumblr media
I don’t have much of an explanation for this, but I can just picture it. Even though this costume totally seems random and not very fitting for Z, but I think that would be the part that compelled him to do it because he just thought it would be funny. He’d have the jacket and the unbuttoned shirt, and he’d cover his skin in glitter. Him and T are Twihards.
I could also see him dressed as Wybie Lovat from Coraline.
Tumblr media
Z would be a big fan of darker movies like Coraline, which is ironic because he’s not really into scary stuff, but he does enjoy the more pg-type spooky movies of his childhood. He would have the skeleton mask and gloves, and definitely would keep them after Halloween.
The Aaron’s (as a unit) - The Aaron’s would do a lot of duo/couple costumes and they’d have a lot of fun putting it together. Some costumes I think they would do would be:
Shaggy and Scooby.
Tumblr media
T would be Shaggy, which is ironic because Z is so much taller than him, but his hair is closer to Shaggy’s. Z would wear a brown spotted T shirt with dog ears on a headband and a giant, gaudy Scooby Doo collar.
Mike and Sulley
Tumblr media
Obviously T would be Mike and Z would be Sulley, and Monsters Inc would be one of their favorite childhood movies.
Napoleon Dynamite and Pedro Sanchez
Tumblr media
Z would look adorable in the geeky glasses and the “vote for Pedro” shirt and high waisted jeans, and T would look hilarious in the obvious black wig and the drawn on mustache.
I had sooo much fun making these!! I hope you liked them :)
KEEP SENDING REQUESTS!!

I never fucking post like ever but my brain is absolutely swirling with thoughts I need to reach a specific audience of modern warfare and magnus archives fans This one's for u mw2/tma fans. Will you see this? Probably not but here's hoping you do.
So like. I've kind of developed an au in my head where everyone is an avatar (with the help of my friend) so I'm just gonna run through what everyone is and why for this. This is gonna be a long one so buckle up!
CONTENT WARNING FOR DISCUSSIONS OF FUCKED UP SHIT LIKE: SENSELESS VIOLENCE, MUTILATION, BEING HUNTED, MANIPULATION, LOSS OF LIMBS, DISCUSSION OF BODY DYSMORPHIA, DEATH, ETC. I think I keep it pretty tame but just to be safe.
---
Ghost - The Lonely
For the record, I definitely think Ghost has been touched by most of the fears, excluding The Eye and The Vast. The Slaughter, The Hunt, The End, and The Buried (getting literally buried alive that one time) being the most obvious. But I think he'd be an avatar of The Lonely due to the fact that to be an avatar, there has to be fondness within that fear. Being alone is comfortable, even safe, so I think after being so used to it for so long, Ghost developed a fondness for that utter loneliness and that fondness festered into being a vessel for that fear.
Soap - The Slaughter
Now my thoughts for Soap were between The Slaughter and The Desolation, but The Slaughter I think is so common among soldiers it just makes sense. Soap is arguably one of the most soldier-y people in the game, the man tried several times to join the military before he was 18 for god's sake. The senseless violence associated with the military (especially as it is in the tma episode The Piper) I think is something that can be related to Soap. I do think that he's been touched by The Desolation, hard not too with how reckless he can be with his own explosives, and he's been touched by The Hunt after Alone. He was basically prey so it's hard to come out of that without being connected to The Hunt.
Gaz - The Vast
I'll be fully honest and say this is just because I love The Vast and I love Gaz, however I do think it's interesting to think about with the Wetwork mission specifically, two of achievements for that mission being called Crocodile and Nessie. Nessie is more interesting as a notorious lake monster, lending to the vastness of the water and how anything could be lurking down there. Including a guy with some throwing knives I guess lol. I also think that his uh... tendency to fall out of helicopters lends to this as well, a reality crash from the neverending expanse of the sky, y'know. Also he's obviously touched by The Slaughter because who isn't in this game, honestly.
Price - The Hunt
This one is partially an excuse for werewolf-esque Price to be real but. I still think it fits. Honestly, for Price, I was in between The Hunt and The Slaughter, but I feel like The Hunt just fits better? In a way? Price is extremely experienced in his field and deadly as hell, I also can't help but point out his comment of Gaz going solo to take out cartel and AQ being "good training". That and Laswell's "good hunting" comments. The way he directs Gaz on what to do as well, "keep your head down, it's gonna be close", shows off his experience, he knows what he's doing much like an experienced hunter. Also Wolf Price had a lot of sway here, I'll be honest. I think he's also been touched by The Eye, The Web, and The Slaughter.
Laswell - The Eye
I feel like this is a pretty obvious choice, for god's sake the woman is literally called Watcher-1. But I think Laswell's so on top of everything, constantly the first to seek out answers, that it makes sense for her to be a vessel for The Eye's manifestation. That's really the extent of my explanation, I feel like it just makes the most sense. Also she's touched by The Web, The Slaughter, and The Hunt.
Alejandro - The Hunt
I feel like this one's an obvious choice too, especially with season 3's launch, but it makes sense. There are several examples of Alejandro's love for the thrill of the hunt, "let's fight fire with fire" if you will. Upon being let out of his cell, he jumps right into hunting some fucking shadows. During Ghost Team, his familiarity with the base and experience prove that he's a pretty fucking good hunter. Also his readiness to go after (read: hunt) Valeria after her escape in s3, yeah I think it's safe to say this guy loves the thrill of the chase. Also he's obviously touched by The Slaughter like everyone else, but also The Desolation and The Web, which I'll get to next.
Rudy - The Desolation
I'll be honest here and say this is the one I'm most excited to talk about but I'll try not to ramble about it. This explanation is a bit more story based than the others but it's the best way I can describe it. I always find it so interesting when something almost kills you and rather than fearing it, you develop a fascination with it. Which is the case here, in this au Rudy's near death experience of almost burning alive led The Desolation to see him as a suitable vessel for manifestation. Rather than coming out, afraid of the fire, he can't take his eyes off of it. His willingness to die there in that burning house attracted The Desolation, and when Alejandro pulls Rudy out, his skin is melting like wax and going on and on about how beautiful the fire is. Also Rudy's been touched by The Slaughter (again, who fucking hasn't) and The Hunt and maybe even The Web.
Valeria - The Web
This one I feel is also fairly obvious, El Sin Nombre running Las Almas however she sees fit and all that. This woman is calculated and knows exactly what to do to get her way. "I'll be free in 24 hours" and she was. She's smart and manipulative and a perfect candidate for The Web. She strung everyone along to get what she wanted and from what can be told, shows no remorse for doing so. I think the best example of this is her interrogation with the 141 + Alejandro and Rudy. She knew what she was doing, she knew exactly where she was sending everyone and she knew for a fact that she would end up being just fine. She and Annabelle Cane have a lot in common if you think about it. Gaslighting and Girlbossing their way to the top <3 Also she's touched by, you guessed it, the Slaughter and probably The Hunt.
Nikolai - The Vast
Look ok. I know Nikolai doesn't have a lot of canon material but I DON'T CARE!! I LOVE HIM!!! Anyway he's The Vast because again I like The Vast AND because he's pilot ok. Honestly Nik I think has the least evidence for the sole reason that. He doesn't have a whole bunch of canon material. So just believe me when I say I'm Right because he'd probably get along with Simon Fairchild anyway /hj. Also Nikolai and Gaz are Vast Dad and Vast Son. Enjoy Sky Blue Babeyy. Also Nik's touched by...The Slaughter again. I mean seriously do I have to keep saying it? Also maybe The Web and The Hunt.
Alex - The Flesh
Shout out to the bestie because this was actually their idea. Specifically the part about having your body mutilated or destroyed like, oh I don't know, losing a leg maybe. I know that losing a leg to an explosion could lean more heavily on The Desolation, however I think that it's likely that Alex didn't lose his leg in the explosion, but rather had to lose it as a result, his leg being too damaged to save so it had to be amputated. Having to witness your leg be absolutely shredded to hell, completely unsalvageable, and then be told that it had to be removed is absolutely fucked. And I can imagine that knowledge of your own flesh and bone being mutilated beyond repair could manifest Something. The Flesh is also associated with body dysmorphia, which is something that can go hand-in-hand with being an amputee or even someone who almost fucking died in an explosion. Your body no longer looks like it once did. That's about the extent of my explanation for Alex. He's also been touched by The Web, The Eye, The Desolation, The Slaughter probably because once again, who the fuck isn't in this au, and maybe The Hunt.
Farah - The End
Farah is last for the sole reason that I came up with this as I was typing this. And I came up with it because when I typed out her name after finishing Alex, I sent a screen shot of her empty name to my friend and jokingly said *dies* bc I had no idea what to write. YEAH THAT'S ACTUALLY HOW I THOUGHT OF THE END. But holy shit I should have thought of it sooner because it makes sense. You see Farah constantly surrounded by the death of her people and of her soldiers, there's even a moment where I believe Alex says something along the lines of apologizing for somebody's death and her response is very calculated. Essentially that the people who die, die for a cause and she's okay with that. Farah is surrounded by death as she is caught up in a war for freedom, freedom unfortunately costs lives. She's Used To Death. The End surrounds her constantly and she's so used to it by now that her calculated responses are likely just an autopilot response. She knows people die and expects them to, even if she's sad about it she knows it happens eventually. Along with that, she's touched by, oh man can you guess it? I bet you can, it's The Slaughter and The Hunt! Wow! Also The Web probably.
---
AND THAT'S THE END WOWIE. Sorry that was so long but I did warn you at the start it would be. Hoping this reaches the right, very specific audience because I am Brainrotting.

Just random thoughts about this:
(ENDWALKER SPOILERS)
Does anyone else have the urge to take Argos everywhere with you? After all, he was Venat’s familiar, and I have no doubt she gave him her love of travel and seeing new places, etc. And from what we saw of her in Elpis, I think it’s clear that she would have created familiars with souls (can’t remember if that’s exactly how they explained the difference in the two kinds of familiars, but Hades and Hyth do comment on the WoL being unusual that way, but not ooc for Azem, her former protege’.)
Argos may be the last living being who remembers Elpis and the world unsundered (the sundered Ascians have died repeatedly and have only fragments of memory at best.)** He’s lived through the same thousands of years that Hydaelyn did, seen the same tragedies and triumphs and horrors and beauty. (Though I suppose it’s possible he spent it on the moon with the Watcher. Still, loyal to her until the end.)
And in the end, when she’s gone and after thousands of years the threat of the Final Days has finally been averted, Argos comes to the WoL. Who he had a rather dim opinion of when he first met, apparently. But the WoL is a tie to Venat/Hydaelyn, and he chooses to become a companion to someone who has proved themselves and has the major part of Azem’s soul, clearly dear to Venat. And as that remnant of the Traveler, will presumably offer opportunities to see Etheirys in all its wonder and awe. Because he was made by Venat, and that’s what she loved above all.
Of course, it’s possible he still serves her, even in her “rest.” After all, the lurking shoebill is very likely one of Hades/Emet-Selch’s familiars and keeps watching you long after E-S’s death---including on the Source near the Waking Sands (or so I’m told.) Maybe that’s how he and Hythlodaeus were able to keep up with you. So maybe Argos is with you so Venat can follow the WoL into the uncertain future. But whether Argos is with you on his own or to act as eyes for Venat, I find myself taking him almost everywhere with me.
**I haven’t watched all the cutscenes for the post-Endwalker raids with the Twelve, though it sounds as if they’re probably surviving collaborators of Venat’s. But there’s one person who has existed since Hydaelyn defeated and confined Zodiark, the Watcher. And his words post-Endwalker make me a little teary-eyed:
Tumblr media
Though, let’s be honest: soothing and gentle was only one side of her. The other side is the Venat who twice challenged you to prove yourself in combat with her, and you definitely get the impression that was a common occurrence with her and Azem, lol.
Also: does anyone else wonder what the watcher will do now that his watch over Zodiark is over? Did Hydaelyn give him a secondary purpose? The Loporrits, obviously, are being left to find their own purpose now, but has he?

I don't know if I am alone in this, but I find the royal confessions page on Tumblr very racist. Most confessions attack Meghan. They are constantly critiquing the Middle Eastern royal families (yes, they definitely deserve criticism, but the criticism on that page is not constructive; it has many racist undertones). For example, I don't support extravagant spending or inbreeding (obviously), but these people will turn a blind eye when the European royals do it but have 1000 things to say if an ME or east asian monarch steps a toe out of line. I also think they don't have a lot of respect for cultural differences in Asia. I have lived my whole life in Middle Eastern countries with monarchs and even met some of them, and they are all aggressively normal people. Yes, they may have different customs than you, but that does not give you a free pass to criticize those customs in my opinion. I feel like European royal watchers tend to exoticize Eastern monarchies. As a result, they believe that all ME monarchies are shady, even though there have been M.E rulers who are much better and far less scandalous than popular European monarchs
Hellooo , thanks for coming here is my opinion:
I like Royal confessions I almost visit that page every day. Sometimes the confessions submitted there are sooo weird/ stupid or Idk how to say it. But we should bear in mind that the admins have nothing to do with that. They stated that they submit the confessions the way they are and that doesn't mean they share the same opinions with the submitters. They welcome both positive and negative confessions. They said so many times that they're tired of receiving confessions about the British royal families and that they don't accept racist confessions. Maybe the followers of that page dislike Meghan ( so many negative confessions about her ) however to be honest I've never seen any confession about her race or something like that. I used to like Meghan but honestly I no longer like her , same with Harry ( just my opinion) however I must say that she receives so many unfair criticism and I feel sorry for her sometimes ( like when they say she's faking her pregnancy or when they doubt her good intentions while doing humanitarian work and so on... ).
About , the Arab monarchs I am positive that most submitters are Arab people. And as an Arab I must say that most of the criticism is well deserved. Am not talking about the traditions and culture differences but they're corrupt and authoritarian and they don't allow their people to criticize them. I am Arab and I can guarantee that.
* I agree with you : criticism must be always constructive. And people have to be fair specially when criticizing people they dislike.
* I remember I've seen once a racist comment: It said that : Rajwa doesn't look like an Arab because she's white. Lol Arabs have so many skin colors. In my country we have white, olive, moderate brown , brown....And you can find multiple skin colors in just one family ( that's the case in my family)
