I've been thinking about this for a while. May I request Kerian battling a "snow on Mt. Silver" Reader? Reader was the strongest trainer at Blueberry academy and champion of the BB league until they willingly handed off the title to Drayton and climbed to the highest point in the polar biome to wait for a strong challenger. Kerian, upon becoming champion, gets wind of them and decides to battle them. Things go bad quickly as reader is a ghost/corpse. Kerian does get rescued but is traumatized.

Oh this is a GOOD concept,,,give him that near-death trauma waaaaay before he even learns about terapagos

Also ik the weather conditions in the terarium are all simulated, but let's just say it malfunctioned and resulted in an actual blizzard at the very peak of the polar biome that killed reader + their Pokémon off (yet no one knows this)

......

"Have you heard from [y/n] lately, Drayton?"

"Nope. Last time I checked, they're still chilling at the Polar Biome peak, waiting for a "worthy challenger"."

"Was that pun intended?"

"...maybe, haha. But y'know, I kinda miss seeing their face around campus. I mean..they were our club's first champion, and to this day I still don't know why they handed the title over to me and bailed on-"

"Hold on, there was a champion before you and...you didn't even fight them for the title? No wonder I was able to beat you so easily."

"Oh great, just the person I hoped to see." With a dry chuckle, Drayton turned his head only slightly upon seeing Kieran approaching the clubroom's table with a deep scowl, eyes bleak.

Of course, the new champion of BB Academy believed he had every right to barge into the Elite Four's conversations--given he was having a bit of a "power trip" ever since gaining the title yesterday.

But the dragon trainer elected to ignore him, instead turning back to the others. "Anyways..I'm sure [y/n]'s already moved onto better things. No way could they still be up there after all that weird stuff happened with the weather."

"You mean..the time there was an actual blizzard in the terarium??" Lacey gasped, before shaking her head and making an "x" pose. "Bzzzt. Nope. Impossible. They sent a search and rescue team in case anyone in the outdoor classroom got stranded up there. And they didn't find a soul!"

"Yeah!" Crispin nodded in agreement. "I get they were the strongest trainer in this entire school, but why would they risk-?"

"I'm sorry, they're the strongest? Why am I only hearing about this [y/n] now?"

With a small yelp, he turned to the purple-haired boy. "Wah!! I-I totally forgot you were here, sorry.." He mumbled, slightly cowering under his harsh gaze. "Obviously you're the strongest! [Y/n]'s not important..d-don't worry about them. They're history-"

"But you all seem pretty convinced they're still here." Kieran's eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the group. "And you just told me where I might find them." He clenched his fists, already shaking with anticipation.

"Easy there, champ.." Drayton huffed in annoyance. "It's only a rumor that they're still hanging around. They weren't much of a talker, so we have no clue where they are. Could be in another region for all we know."

"..........."

"Don't tell me....you're thinking about charging up that mountain all by yourself to see if they're there, are you? That's suicide."

"I have to agree with Drayton." Amarys nodded. "The staff is still trying to determine the cause of the anomalous weather patterns. We aren't banned from venturing up there, but until they can find a solution, it's ill-advised."

"Exactly!" Lacey joined in. "I heard one of the rescue team members had to get treated for frostbite. And it wasn't from some ice-type Pokémon, but the blizzard itself. This is serious, Kieran!"

"....I'll be fine. Your scare tactics won't work on me."

"Huh?! But we're not-"

"Enough. I'm gonna go find them myself, seeing as you're all too cowardly to do so." The champion sneered. "If a worthy challenger is what they're after, then I'll give them one. I'll let them know there's a new champion in town..and that he's the strongest trainer in this academy. Not them."

With that, he turned on his heel and left the room, mumbling under his breath things that made the four feel uneasy.

"How pathetic. The Elite Four..scared of a little snow and ice? Whatever. I'll show them. I'll show [y/n]. I'll show them ALL..."

After the doors slammed shut behind him, they felt the tension still lingering in the air--as did every other club member who was hanging out on the sofas and by the BP computer.

"Man." Drayton broke the silence, sitting up to stretch his arms. "That kid catches wind of some random stranger who's just a little stronger than him, and boom. He's obsessed. Hope he doesn't get himself killed up there."

"Should one of us go after him?" Lacey muttered in concern, her gaze not leaving the doors.

"I-I think that would make him angrier.." Crispin shook his head. "He's got an Incineroar, so maybe it'll keep him toasty."

"That is true. He could also either confirm or deny [y/n]'s presence atop that mountain." Amarys spoke up. "I only hope he properly prepares himself for the long journey..and that no other weather anomalies arise.."

..........

"They weren't kidding..i-it's freezing...but we're doing this, Incineroar."

"Cinn.." Huffing, the Heel Pokémon remained beside its trainer as the two made their ascension towards the summit. They couldn't see any rest spots nor healing centers below them due to the snowfall being so heavy.

Even the teraglobe was barely visible.

Yet Kieran was persistent as ever in his goal, keeping his jacket zipped up and Incineroar close to him. He didn't care about the fact his hands were already growing numb, nor the cold biting at his legs leaving them weak.

He was the new champion. He had to let everyone in this school know and defeat whoever could threaten the position he worked so hard to achieve.

If not [Florian/Juliana]..then it was you.

You're someone he's never even met, but knowing you were the very first BB League champion and had a big-enough ego to come up here and wait for a strong challenger...was something he couldn't turn a blind eye to.

No.

Not if he wanted to be the best in this entire school and eliminate any competition.

Absolutely nothing was gonna stop him.

Not even the fact that his Incineroar's flames were struggling to stay alive, gradually exhausting the feline as it struggled to keep up. It began having chills itself, although it knew better than to disobey its trainer when he demanded to keep the fire going.

Surely it can tough it out for him, right?

After what seemed like an eternity, Kieran finally reached the top of the mountain and saw you: the lone figure waiting for them both. Much of the snowfall had already cleared up allowing him to see you in a cap that concealed your eyes and a BB Academy uniform.

You were looking at something up in the sky, until you heard the sounds of shuffling and turned around, looking down with surprise at the challenger.

This kid...came up all this way to see you? Impressive.

His Incineroar looked a little worse for wear, the flames around its belt dying out, yet it stuck close to its trainer's side as he stared at you with a cold hard gaze.

"Are you [y/n], former BB League Champion?" He questioned.

"........."

"Not much of a talker, huh? Guess they were right. I'm Kieran, or better yet..Champion Kieran."

Although you barely gave a response aside from a slight tilt of your head, he just smirked. "Yeah, you heard me. I'm the new champion and president of the League Club, not that dumb dragon tamer. Because unlike him, I worked hard to earn this title. I don't wait around for things to be handed to me on a silver platter."

".........."

"You think being champion is a joke? Something you can just pawn off to somebody when you get bored of it?"

"........."

"I thought so. That means you never deserved the title to begin with.." He scoffed, irritated by your silence. "Anyway, they said you were the strongest, but I'm here to change that!" Pointing up at you, he shouted over the wind. "You wanted a worthy opponent..well HERE I AM!!! Incineroar, Porygon-Z...show them the power of a true BB League Champion!!"

He took out his Virutal Pokémon's pokeball, ready to send it into battle.

But it didn't come out after he tossed it to the ground.

"...huh?" Confused, Kieran picked up the pokeball, wondering why it wasn't opening. Then he noticed frost coating the button, practically icing it over entirely. "No, no, no.....what is this?!"

For some reason it was jammed, and he discovered that all the other pokeballs in his bag were like that, too, rendering them inaccessible.

But how?

It shouldn't be possible for all of them to freeze simultaneously...their insulation should be top-tier.

Brushing off his worries, he glared at you. "Whatever. I can win a single-battle, too! I've developed strategies for this. Incineroar, it's all up to you now"

Nodding, the Heel Pokémon cracked its knuckles and stepped forward. But as it looked at you, it began shivering all of the sudden, feeling a drastic drop in temperature as the flames on its belt struggled still.

It wasn't just the weather giving it chills..but you.

Something about you just seemed...off, but it couldn't exactly tell its trainer what that was. Nor would he probably care.

Whether it liked it or not, it had to win this battle.

Wordlessly, you stepped down so you could fight on equal ground and took out a single pokeball. It was covered in frost, with much of the red paint faded, and it looked awfully damaged--especially the button.

Yet somehow it was functional as you sent out your first Pokémon.

And the sight of it was so grisly, Kieran felt genuinely nauseated, unable to do anything except stare in shock.

"Wh...What the..."

It appeared as a sickly frostbit creature, with its colors dull and empty sockets in place of its eyes. Not to mention the heavy wounds littering its body, which seemed fresh. It's like you ran out of healing items and never bothered to look for any more.

And its cry was pained.

Considering how much Kieran himself loved and treasured Pokémon, he was gravely concerned and had second thoughts about fighting one in such a horrible state...

But that little voice in his head told him that refusing to fight your team would make him look weak. You'd probably think he was weak for backing down.

And he refused to do that.

Why was he suddenly so afraid? You were only trying to scare him, just like everybody else...and he was fed up with that.

He came this far. He had to finish this.

"You...think your Pokémon can battle in that condition? Looks like they can barely stand." His eyebrows furrowed. "No matter. Once I beat you, I'll take them off your ha-"

"Struggle."

A hoarse whisper escaped your lips, stunning him as he realized you could actually speak. But then your Pokémon suddenly threw itself at Incineroar, attacking and taking a good deal of recoil damage as it fainted soon afterwards.

Or rather...

It simply dropped to the ground and ceased all motions, with you making no move to recall them. Instead you just sent out your next party member.

Kieran tried not to think about why they did that, and just scoffed at your strategy. "Really? This is what the "strongest" trainer is capable of? I expected better..I'll beat you in no time at all."

Yet you didn't seem fazed by anything he said, as you commanded your Pokémon to use Struggle, too.....and every other one after that did the same thing.

What frustrated him the most was how they all managed to outspeed Incineroar, forcing it to endure every hit without getting a chance to retaliate. It felt so unfair, and he couldn't do anything except sit and watch, feeling his blood boiling more with each passing second.

He didn't know why you exhausted all of your team's moves, why you wouldn't give him a chance to strike back....or why you're even up here at all and allowed them to get this bad.

But he knew one thing.

He wanted to get off this mountain soon.

The snowfall was growing heavier again, the howling wind picking up as the temperature kept dropping.

"Stop! Just stop for a second!!" He snapped as you readied your final pokeball. All you did was pause and stare at him. "You haven't given me a chance to attack yet! And I'm locked out my pokeballs...this isn't fair! You're cheating!!"

"..it's almost over."

He tensed, wondering why you spoke those words so ominously. But he took that as an insult and scowled. "For me? No...it's almost over for you. You're down to your last Pokémon..and I still have all of mine. I'm putting an end to this pathetic "struggle strategy" of yours right now."

".........."

"What a joke this was. Everyone says you were the strongest trainer..but you're just another obstacle in my way."

Hearing that saddened you a little, almost making you regret what you're about to subject this hapless champion to next...but you will end this one way or another.

You couldn't tolerate his arrogance any longer.

Your final Pokémon's appearance completely wiped the smug look on Kieran's face, as his eyes widened upon seeing a Pikachu in the most horrific condition--one that didn't look anything like the others on your team.

Its fur was totally white with a layer of frost coating it; and it was missing a leg, ear, and part of its tail...as though something had torn and chewed at various sections of its body. And its wounds exposed its muscle and bones, yet somehow it was still able to stand on its own.

But the most terrifying thing was its lack of a cutesy smile typical to its species. Instead there was this creepy grin stretching from ear-to-nonexistent-ear. And it just stared at him with those pitch black eyes, giggling.

His hands shook with genuine fear, before he rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

Yet both of you were still there when he looked, ready for battle.

Suddenly he didn't feel so high and mighty right now. His heart pounded and his throat felt dry, eyes stinging from the cold.

He felt as though he wasn't supposed to be here.

He shouldn't be here.

He didn't want to do this anymore.

He wanted to go home.

It was so cold...

But he needed to finish this.

"I-Incineroar, use-"

"Pain Split."

'Wait...Pikachu can learn that?!' His eyes widened in shock, but at the same time he was relieved you finally did something new-

Only for your Pikachu to screech and attack his Pokémon with that move, biting into its arm and causing the latter to roar in agony. He could only watch, horrified as blood splattered all across the snow.

By the time he managed to recall Incineroar, it had already fainted from the attack.

However your Pikachu did, too, laying among the other bodies of your Pokémon...who he now realized were in fact deceased. He could barely see them since the snow covered most of them.

But the morbid images would never leave his head.

He still didn't understand.

What have you become?

What are you?

"It's over."

Looking up, Kieran screamed upon seeing your uniform now covered in blood, the frostbite having eaten away at most of your flesh. You looked like some zombie, with exposed bones and hollowed eyes much like your Pokémon--gazing at him with that same sadness they held.

Now it finally hit him.

All this time, he wasn't battling some BB League ex-champion. He was battling the victim of that weather malfunction the four were talking about.

The one who never made it down this mountain alive.

You were already dead...and wanted him to suffer the same fate as you.

He blinked, and you were suddenly in front of him, grabbing the front of his jacket with two hands and staring at him. And all he could do was stare back in terror, unable to look away.

"Destiny B-"

"NO!! NO!! STOP!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!!" Screaming as loud as he could, he lost all composure as he tried pushing you off of him, hitting your jaw and dislocating the bone.

You dropped him to the ground, and he sobbed, wrapping his arms over his head as he begged you to leave him be.

"L-Let me go home, please pleasepleaseplease-"

"Kieran?!!!"

With a sharp gasp, he looked up to hear the voice of Lacey, before seeing her, Carmine, and the other Elite Four members rushing towards him. They were all bundled-up, with Crispin's Magmortar and Heat Rotom keeping them warm.

"It's [y/n]!!" He shouted, pointing to where you stood. "Th-They..they're right there!!"

The group stopped, appearing confused as they looked all around, seeing nothing but snow.

"Wh-Why are you all standing around?!"

"Kieran..there's no one here except us." Crispin muttered.

".....huh?" Blinking, he looked back and realized you have disappeared entirely, not leaving behind a single trace of your presence. There weren't any blood or footprints in the snow, nor any frozen bodies of Pokémon lying in it.

It's like he was battling a hallucination all along.

But it felt so real..

"But I....I-I..."

"Only you would be insane enough to risk your life coming up here," Carmine huffed, kneeling down. But as soon as she saw the true terror in her little brother's eyes, her heart sank..wondering what he witnessed. "Kiki..?"

"...i-it was them...[y/n]..." He mumbled shakily, his arm still stuck in a pointing position. Tears streaked down his face, the cold wind making his cheeks sting like hell. "Th-They were right here..and...and they...they tried to-"

"Listen, I get you really wanted to meet them and battle them...but they're not here. They're long gone. Now c'mon. We need to get you off this stupid mountain." Picking him up was no problem for Carmine, given how he was light as a feather. He just clung to her, allowing himself to be carried on her back.

The four were astonished that he actually made the journey up here, with Drayton wondering if he was really that desperate to battle you that he came up here, realized you weren't around, and just...made up a scenario in which he wins anyways.

Instead, the poor kid seemed traumatized by whatever he saw...or believed he saw.

After making it safely down the mountain and getting treated--alongside his Incineroar--Kieran's detailed account of what happened led to another rescue team heading up the summit, just in case they may have missed something.

They had fire types and ground type tirelessly shoveling through the snow, digging in the exact spot where he battled you, but there were no signs of you anywhere.

Even so..he refused to believe it, and still had reoccurring nightmares of that encounter and how it might've ended if the others didn't show up in time.

Soon enough he got back on-track to training his Pokémon and becoming stronger everyday, but other trainers noticed how carefully he treaded throughout the Polar Biome..

And how he avoided going anywhere near the tallest mountain in that zone.

For he believed you were still up there, waiting for him.

elysium

You can feel the piercing of something long and sharp careen through your massive gullet, the sound of organs being gnashed and blood spilling filling your eardrums. You never thought pale could hurt this much, but you were wrong. You don't even have time to say anything, the only sound exiting from your filthy mouth the choking of your blood. It's warm and copper taste feels familiar somehow, but you wouldn't remember. And you won't get to.

HEALTH CRITICAL!

You hear somebody screaming your name, a voice usually composed and quiet undone by years of grief and isolation that's toppled over at the sight of your death. You were his last hope, his anchor for a boat that's been cast away at sea for many years; you thought he was your anchor, but in reality, it was quite the opposite. You have never heard somebody scream like that... actually, yes, you have many, many times. You just never thought somebody would scream like that over you.

MORALE CRITICAL!

The man next to him is white as a ghost, eyes big and wide in terror. He mutters his favorite curse word (he'd make sure you died a second time if he found out you said he had a favorite curse word) under his trembling breath, his lip quivering. In the end, your relationship was far from perfect, but he believes you deserved better than this. Anything than this.

Your eyes feel heavy and you know it's ending soon, but all you can feel is guilt: you couldn't save anybody, not even one person. You were their only hope, the only tether to Elysium in all of Her glory, and you failed exquisitely. You deserved a far crueler death than this, but all you can do is cry, cry, cry.

Let me say goodbye, at least. I don't want them to be sad.

Life is no fairy tale, Harry boy- this is the end for you. There are no goodbyes and there are no happy endings. You're going to die, then Kim is going to die, then Jean, then the rest of Precinct 41, then Martinaise, then the rest of Revachol, and finally Elysium. There is no hope; just death.

Let it happen, Harrier! Let it happen!

You finally close your eyes, anticipating the warmth of darkness and death like a hug from a friend you haven't seen for a time. All you can hope for is that death will be kinder to Kim and Jean, if She is inescapable.

It's over. It's all over...

...

SHIVERS: NO.

SHIVHER: YOU ARE NOT DONE YET. YOU WILL NOT DIE.

HIHER: THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO NEED YOU. GET UP.

But I can't.

HER: YOU WILL. THERE IS STILL MUCH FOR YOU TO DO. IT IS NOT YOUR TIME YET.

Through your closed eyelids, through the darkness, you can sense a light below you. You can also hear again. It's quiet at first...

LGIC: GET UP

HAF LGH: GET UP

ESPR D COS: GET UP

But then they grow louder. And the light grows brighter.

COMPOSURE: GET UP

ELECTROCHEMISTRY: GET UP

EMPATHY: GET UP

HER: GET UP

HEALTH AND MORALE RESTORED

THE MIND: GET UP

Ok, ok! I'm getting up, you guys don't need to yell.

You open your eyes, and you see that your lungs are glowing and you are bleeding gold. You are light and you are holy, finally, after 44 years of being nothing but a tar pit of misery.

Is Kim ok? Please tell me he's ok.

You look to him and the light reflecting off of his glasses and tear stricken face. As always, he is an awe of you and he mouths a raspy "how," adjusting his spectacles.

And Jean?

He says his favorite curse word for the second time this day, a hand on his forehead. But he is relieved, you can tell.

Your shining lungs expand with an echoing sigh. As long as they're ok, then this is all worth it.

You try to move your limbs, but all you can feel is tingling; they are weak. The pale is still impaled in you. No pun intended.

HER: I AM YOU. AND YOU ARE ME. I AM YOURS AND YOU ARE MINE.

You can hear the cricking and cracking of bones being forced to move, and you jerk your head to your left to see your arm moving on its own. Your meaty fingers contract and stretch like a overturned bug being poked, and all of a sudden, your hand grips the pale. The sensation is everything and nothing, like touching water, fire, needles, and blankets all at once. It's horrible and it's beautiful.

There is an astounding crack that sends chills down the spines of every citizen in Elysium as your fingers clutch the pale, nails digging in, and you rip it out swiftly, your blood spilling the snow and soil below. The hole in your body emits a gorgeous light, perhaps the most wonderful thing you've ever seen your body exhibit.

ELYSIUM: SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

Warning! Biohazard!

Pestilence!Sans in InvertedVerse!

Hello! I'm here to talk about pestilence, he's so cool :D

Alright now, i didn't do a reference sheet bc 1- they're getting boring to me, 2- there's not much changes to show, all i did was reduce his color palette, buuut if the creator don't like my decision i'll do the og colors.

Intruduction:

Alright, it looks like not that many people know him, so you can learn more about him here. But i can give you a summary, but you'll still lose some details.

I don't plan on getting too deep into his backstory in InvertedVerse bc he's just a side character so i don't see any need on doing so. But maybe i change my mind in the future, my mind is a mystery box...

He's a parasite-like being that feeds off the magic of other beings. He is an out-code Sans.

His role is the sickness and he has this passive that slowly makes people sick around him, it's something related to his death from infections and diseases.

Inside InvertedVerse:

Alright now, Pesti is on the Darkside, Nightmare's side, why? That's actually a short story, idk if should say it now, but he does have a important role, so important even that i'm afraid to spoil everything, like, help.

His host ain't Zoo!sans anymore, Zootale is finally in peace from Pestilence, bc Nightmare took him off there for.. uhmmm, a mutual share of favors.

I'm not sure who his new host is, it can't be Nightmare, neither anyone from the darkside, but i have no idea. Maybe because the place he's in now has so many people he just picked up someone random... like... like Anx (it's not a offense to him)! I'm a genious.

He's a side character as i said, he's more of a comic relief than a serious guy with a whole badass arc or somethin', but he's a jester not a clown.

Hobbies:

He often spies the residents one of them the Undercop detectives, the detectives have some murder mystery going on, it's quite interesting to watch bc it doesn't happen often, oh yeah that's a big side plot for Invertedverse btw and it's through Pestilence that the audience finds out about it, maybe he even helps finding who's the murderer, who knows?

Also tries to make some "friends" to keep himself entertained until the day of depression happens... (just made out the name)

Sometimes he get into non-physical fights just for fun (idk if that's accurate), one of the fights he picked up was with Wine, the Sans from Fellswap Gold, Pestilence can pierce his skin like a needle and see what's inside, not all of it, but most of it, Wine despises Pestilence.

I have this headcanon that everywhere he goes he touches things to contaminate them like doorknobs, chairs or anything in public places that people often put their hands on, specially bathrooms. Idk i just think it's funny.

Anyway he's a funny little guy doing some funny little things with his funny little "friends" and funny little tricks and puns.

Pestilence (c) @hoshi-tsubasa

Hi, you said you wanted to read 👋😳

Guess I'll wrap things up in town and head to the re-sleepover.

Okay, last time I was here, I weirded out this child. This time, I'm gonna TRY. HARDER.

Jackpot. Children love puns about their favorite thing. Now this small child of no clear importance thinks I'm cool.

That is very important to me.

I don't know why.

FROG SPELL

Nyeh heh heh heh heh! I have discovered the cheat code to being popular with kids. It's frogs. The cheat code is frogs.

Now if only I could extend that popularity to adults.

And my teammates.

And now. We have. THE FLOWER. Aggggggggh the flower. So much pressure. Hmm. Maybe I can bribe Bonbon into not hating me.

HEY HALF-PINT, PRESENT FOR YOU

Because I'm trying to improve our team's cohesion and the friction that exists between you and me is basically our only interpersonal conflict. Consider this an olive branch.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and call this one "Mission Failed" since I'm pretty sure I just made things awkward and weird. There might not be a way to bury the hatchet with this kid. They're under a lot of stress.

I just want to know who keeps breaking the bread. I was specifically watching for it and it still crept up on me. I blinked for one second - Well, okay, I had a brief chat with my Lemonfriend about ignoring all of you but that's beside the point - and then there was just this hideous CRACK and the bread was ripped in half.

How!? WHEN!? WHO!?

You could just tell me now and then I'll know it so when I die and you've un-told it to me I can spare you the embarrassment of telling me.

Then again maybe we should keep it on the down-low to avoid making my Lemonfriend jealous. I'm sure they're listening in on every word we say. They're clingy and stalkerish like that.

Wow. We're back here again already. In my defense, I DID check for traps. I very briefly skimmed each pillar so I'm pretty sure there has to be some sort of complex--

Well. Okay then.

I now realize that the cause of my death was, in fact, that I suck at my job. Cool.

I would make a remark here about "going to crawl under a rock and die" but the boulder has a sense for ironic timing so it's best not to chance it. Let's just flick this stupid switch and move on.

Done. Mistake unmade. No longer have I died a clown. DO YOU HEAR THAT, LEMONFRIEND!? I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY NOT DIED.

BOOM, nothing to worry about now. It should be smooth sailing from here. Let's go commit regicide with extreme prejudice.

Cutlery is an interesting subject matter, actually. There's a lot of differentiation in individual sizes, shapes, and compositions of individual cutlery that contribute to a variety of different meal experiences. Even chopsticks come in many different forms.

But this would fall under the category of etiquette. I'm not quite sure if Madame Odile's field of expertise falls into that wheelhouse. Though I could see it....

Hey, give me some credit. You know how hard it is to cheat gratuitously under four different sets of watchful eyes?

You call it cheating. I call it speed practice. That's the kind of manual dexterity that lets me throw signs so fast.

Well that's fucking dangerous. THANKS FOR JUST BRINGING IT UP NOW, BONNIE. What if I slipped on that?

<.<

>.>

What... if I slipped on that....

Zero hesitation. FOR SCIENCE!

YES

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Okay. We have proven that my lemon drop powers will still bring me back in time even if I'm frozen in time. This is a very useful piece of information to establish, so it's good to get that out of the way before we meet the King while the risk is still....

...

...while the risk is still....

...

Oh. Wait. That could have been really bad for me. If that didn't work then--

LET'S NOT THINK ABOUT THAT HAHAHA I'm sure my Lemonfriend wouldn't have left me strander there. It's fine. The important thing is that I now know my ability to loop is immutable even by time.

This is what PROGRESS looks like. >:D

if no one's asked already then you can do starbula for the ship ask meme you reblogged :P

Thank you so much! It took a while to fill out but enjoy! :D

Who wins a prize at a carnival/fair/festival: It depends on the game. Lol everything with shooting that two will end up making a competition outta it, figuring out who will win the most stuffed animals. That's how they got banned from playing any of the shooting related booths on several fairs already. The won stuffies will be gifted to the kids on Knowhere, althought they both chose always each for the other.

If it's other games, like for example fishing rubber ducks, Peter ends up winning always since Nebula has no patience for that game. But everything that requires aim? Nebula wins, always. Just by a few points, tho.

Who does most of the cooking: Peter. Not that I think he's that good of a cook himself but much more as I see it being Nebula. lol This two are so simple with food.(growing up taking what they get without much complain) Give them a few cans and snacks and they're good. Although Peter picked up the habit to cook at last once the week after being back on earth.

Who does most of the shopping: Nebula because Peter intends to get distracted, buying useless stuff and/or misplacing their shopping list. N: you went out to grab take out we ordered in advance. How, how did you ended up buying a fucking armchair?!

Who is hopeless at board games:Nebula. Her competition-genes get activated at every type of game, although it for sure cooled down since her childhood (where competition were a life or death situation) but she is a sore loser. lol

Who is always trying to make the other laugh: Personal headcanon that Peter gave himself the goal to make Nebula laugh more the moment she joined the guardians. Jokes, Puns, Stories, just showing her videos on his super cool new smartphone he downloaded because he knew she'd love them. Once they entered their relationship, Nebula slowly let her facade crumble that she's in love with Peter's humor. Things that before made her just look at him odd now makes her laugh. Turned out her faces before were her supressing laughing to not give him the satisfaction of his jokes working. (BIG HEADCANON that one of the things Peter fell in love with first were her soft giggles under her breath. They're were too adorable, to indulging, to not trying to hear more of it.)

Who has a tendency to give out TMI: We all know Peter Jason "Star Lord" "Can't keep his mouth shut for five minutes" Quill, right? That man will casually(and to his defense accidently) drop way too private things from their behind-doors-life. Nebula shuts him up with her "you better stop talking now or I'm a widow in a few seconds"-look.

Who does more DIY projects: Big Fan of Nebula going into handy work after becoming Leader of Knowhere. Growing up not being allowed to individualize her living space she slowly warms up to interior design once she and Peter moved in their own space. Building own furniture, spontanous deciding their walls need new color. Hey, maybe she grow a soft spot for "five Minute crafts", going all mad when it takes more than five minutes. Plus her tinkering on her arm with Rocket to advance it.

Who is the big spoon: They totally switch. Nebula on her part loves Peter's strong arms around her at night, giving her the safety she needed all her life. I dig Nebula enjoying being taken care of, allowing her to indulge the vulnerable sides of life once she let her guard down. Peter breathing in her neck at night, his heartbeat on her back all night, being that relaxing rhythm, his lips kissing the backside of her head in the morning. Bonus Peter being a damn furnace so she's always warm. She also feels his morning wood she totally not gets excited of Peter for his part is kinda the same? Loving being in his woman's embrace. her body having this duality on different sensations. Cold steel, warm flesh. Boobs Not that deep on his part, he's just a man who loves being cuddled.

Who gives more casual affection:Depending. Peter loves to give her the casual affection in public she allows as Nebula is not a fan of it. Sneaking kisses from her whe she isn't prepared for it. Holding her hand. Snuggling her cheeks when nobody is looking. This all continues behind closed doors just multiply it. But now, big twist. Once that doors are closed Nebula becomes a tamed wild cat just looking for pets. Being that touched-starved all her life and not being a fan of PDA she can't keep her hands off Peter. Sitting in his lap, casual cuddling... It took her so long to get comfortable to act on her desires for affection, Peter was so surprised once she shown it.

Who reads to whom: in love with the concept of Peter picking up reading back on earth and realizing he barly can't read english anymore. After getting back into it he started reading stories he remembered from his childhood to Nebula. Mostly fairytales. He also then realized that his mother always read him the non or at last less-violent versions of them. Nebula: Damn, didn't knew human fables were that gruesome. I kinda dig it. Peter: ...me neither. Fuck, when did Red Riding Hood got so violent? Nebula: Who cares? Keep reading!

Who brings drinks and food without being asked: Honestly, both. Peter plays little housewife when visiting Knowhere, bringing Nebula food to her office. But also Nebula will remind Peter to eat and drink as he intends to forget about it once he's busy with something that requires his entire attention. She had him too many times throwing up because he forgot to drink for hours and not realizing he was hungry.

Observations on the French version of The Infinite and the Divine

1.. I always thought if English has to be translated into anything, French is one of the top 3 most straightforward languages to do it in. At first glimpse this is a direct translation of the English text. Good for cross-referencing, but I'm not anticipating a great deal of unusual localizations or woolseyisms, not that such things are usually at the translator's liberty with novels like these.

2. That said, the Trazyn vs. aeldari farseer encounter is excellent. The warning she gives him is the same (including the planet's demand for 'le sang de Trazyn'), but there's something special about watching him receiving this warning, immediately paying for it with his bodily death, then springing back up with a deadpan 'bon sang!'. Hits a lot better than 'this world sings for the blood of Trazyn' / 'damn!' imo. A nice little linguistical coincidence.

3. When I first read 'le tétrarque' I was thinking tetrarch of... what exactly??? But no that's just the French translation for a necron overlord. 😅 The term of address is 'messire', directly equivalent to 'my lord'

4. Sannet addresses Trazyn formally, while Trazyn tutoyers Sannet. I've yet to find out if Trazyn addresses anyone else in Solemnace this way.

5. Orikan and Trazyn, on the other hand, vousvoyer each other religiously. They don't even drop formality when they're insulting each other as the lowest of the low, and I'm not finding any instances of them doing so while skimming the pages. There's a great deal of coldness between them, but they don't deliberately talk down to each other either. I'll have to come back to this point later when I have a better grasp of French!T/O's dynamic

6. Not sure if I like 'factionnaires' as a translation for 'lychguard'. From what I can tell the French is simply the word for a sentinel or a guardsman, whereas the English is a pun on 'lych (lich)' + 'guard' = 'corpse/undead-guard' = 'body-guard'... just feels like they could've come up with a more clever translation, you know? Or am I missing something? Let me know if you can.

7. Wait Phillias is a svelte stunner? ('La femme élancée') She's definitely tall and stunning, but I always thought she was more on the side of 'built like a goddamned brick wall' or something

8. 'Salopard' 😩👎💢

9. I have emotions towards dream-pipes and wish Zuberkar could've gotten his back

10. Actually Orikan does tutoyer something: the Mysterios. And Trazyn referred to the aeldari gem earlier with a 'tu' as well. This is normal 'tu' usage in French, but it's notable that in the original English Trazyn and Orikan were both specifically addressing those objects as if they were persons. They're not that different, cooing softly at the objects they hold dear.

11. Trazyn is not on familiar terms with his chief librarian ('et apportez-moi tout ce que vous avez sur la Guerre Céleste…') or presumably his copyist crypteks, but he does use 'tu' consistently with his main crypteks (Khybur, Sannet, Tekk-Nev). 'Mes chers fidèles'!

12. Not a French-specific thing but oh my god the vicarious embarrassment Trazyn must've felt over seeing Orikan crowing his supposed victory over Vishani always gets me jghfhhdhshs

13. La tête 😳 ordonna Orikan💫 à l’Immortel 🔫 Prends ton temps 🤯🤪

That's it for Act 1. Will add more in further reblogs.

Disclaimer: not a native French speaker, also have not previously read French WH40K articles/wikis/literature/etc. I'm likely missing out on many linguistical curiosities, so if anyone else has this edition of I&D, I'd love to hear your thoughts ✨

#warhammer 40k #wh40k #the infinite and the divine #trazyn the infinite #orikan the diviner #l'infini et le devin #french #languages #i imagine a closer analysis will reveal itself on multiple reads and also when it's not literally half one in the morning 🤪#the narrative content really is identical so i'm focusing on differences the french text is -forced- to have #the big ones have already been outlined i think but there are still three acts to go

artists i associate to the diabolik lovers characters

(+ explanations/headcanons!)

this is gonna be a long post since i absolutely LOVE talking about music. you may take this as a music recommendations post lol. also check my DL playlists out if you want to! 💗

SHU — WITHIN TEMPTATION

let's start with some nice symphonic metal! it's pretty obvious since shu likes classical music. he's relatively calm (maybe too much) but there's a storm inside of him: his double side fits this band a lot imo. moreover, within temptation are powerful but also ethereal, so even though they're "heavy" i think he would give a chance to them :D he would occasionally cover their songs on violin if he feels like it.

REIJI — APOCALYPTICA

staying on the symphonic metal side, we have apocalyptica. this band is so peculiar since it's only formed by three cellos and drums, but i can assure you they're metal lmao. they're neat, polished, elegant and mature: all of these are basic reiji traits! (shu likes them too but he listens to them secretly lol)

AYATO — PARAMORE / HALESTORM

here he comes. my lil punk boi. i think about too many artists when it comes to ayato, cause honestly just every pop punk artist does it for me, but early paramore music gives me HUGE teen emo vibes (both angsty and romantic) that represent ayato so well!! i already stated it in my rocker!ayato headcanons post, but he would blast the RIOT! album at every hour of the day.

regarding halestorm, they represent his "darker" side. they're heavier and more aggressively free-spirited. now tell me if he wouldn't sing Love Bites (So Do I) to yui "jokingly" lol.

KANATO — THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE

how could i NOT associate kanato with the band that basically gave birth to the creepy cute genre, the birthday massacre? their particular goth/industrial sound blending with the vocalist chibi's cute, almost ethereal voice gives so many kanato vibes!! not to mention that the official color of the band is purple lmao. he'd find their album covers very aesthetic, i'm sure of it :D and i also think his fav album would be Violet, the creepiest of them all.

LAITO — LADY GAGA / THE PRETTY RECKLESS

basically laito's two personalities lmao. lady gaga doesn't need any introductions: her provocative and sexy persona shocked everyone and basically all of her songs could potentially be in laito's sex playlist.

the pretty reckless are also indeed sexy, but sexy-depressed??? sexy-angsty?? some of their songs are about embracing one's "dark" side, some others are about dealing with depression (especially in their latest works). i like how they both use the "sexy" façade while actually having more to offer. considering how much laito is broken inside, their music fits so well.

SUBARU — BRING ME THE HORIZON

i'll keep saying this: emo music isn't enough for this guy. this dude listens to metalcore and whatever is heavier than emo pop punk. i actually had issues with picking a band for him cause most of them are casual listens to me but!!! in the end i chose bring me the horizon. angsty emo. pure rage. that's simply subaru for you! sometimes he would sing to their songs in his room but never admit it lol.

RUKI — HIM

honestly, this guy would love gothic rock. i just know it. HIM is the perfect band for him! their dark, elegant, kinda sad sound reminds me of him a lot. and the lyrics too!! they're really poetic, mostly about love and death with a few mentions to eden (pun intended?); the vocalist ville valo often takes inspiration for his lyrics from the books he reads! ruki would definitely dedicate Vampire Heart to yui btw.

KOU — AVRIL LAVIGNE / ICON FOR HIRE

LISTEN. i've been headcanoning this ever since my first DL post ever but kou would be a huge avril lavigne fan. it would mostly represent his frivolous idol persona, but also some of what he hides underneath.

his realest and deepest side is represented by icon for hire. they're heavier, aggressive and talk a lot about sensitive topics. kou has one of the worst pasts among the DL characters and has dealt with pretty much everything going from depression, to abuse, to drug addiction, to suicidal tendencies. i think he'd find some sort of comfort in their songs.

YUMA — P.O.D.

i always pictured yuma as a hip-hop kinda guy, so i think he would like nu metal. being part of the angry and bothered trio with ayato and subaru, he's relatively the calmest one but that means nothing since we're in DL lol. p.o.d.'s passive-aggressive style reminds me of him so much and i swear i ALWAYS think about him when i listen to Youth of the Nation, it's like it talks about him and his brothers specifically.

AZUSA — EVANESCENCE

there are two types of emo: the angry emo and the sad emo. azusa obviously belongs to the second one. i can't really associate him to one genre in particular, it just depends on the ~vibes~, but i chose evanescence for him cause their lowkey eerie, slow style fits azusa a lot. fear of abandonment and selflessness are some of the themes they've covered and Lithium is the song that makes me think about azusa the most.

CARLA — NIGHTWISH

carla has that gothic royal-ish attitude that reminds of the first nightwish era (with tarja turunen as vocalist). i mostly tend to associate the deep, elegant lyrical vocals with carla's deep voice lol. it's just a matter of ~vibes~ again :D

SHIN — FROM FIRST TO LAST

this little shit would only listen to post-hardcore. nothing reminds me of shin more than a cringy "i'm angy >:(" music genre. i actually do enjoy some post-hardcore and from first to last is the exception. i think shin would fit especially in the Dead Trees era, aka FFTL's villain arc™: very silly, angsty and full of villanous vibes but more mature than their previous works.

KINO — AMARANTHE

gamer boi coming through with electronic metal!! amaranthe's futuristic mix of edm and metal + their in-your-face attitude is a perfect match with kino. PvP is THE kino song. the music, the lyrics, the game concept just suit him so well!! slay.

Hey :) I was wondering if you could say what personality a child of Persephone would have if she had any? And possible powers? It’s totally ok if you don’t wanna Answer 🩷🩷🩷

Personality tends to be a lot more open-ended so I'll start with powers first: (Also gonna put this under a read-more cause these tend to get lengthy)

Pretty much almost anything a Hades or Demeter kid could do, a Persephone kid would probably able to do. Which means they are absolutely OP as hell (no pun intended). Control over the growth and death of plants, general decay, influence over death, total control over the undead and plants, etc etc. And definitely geokinesis, as an overlap of Hades kid and theoretically Demeter kid powers, and there is at least one myth where Persephone is accredited as creating humans from clay. A Persephone kid probably wouldn't have as much specific control over precious gemstones/minerals or wealth though. Just agricultural wealth and maybe like, soil nutrition.

I imagine they'd obviously have more of a powers focus on spring-related things, so chlorokinesis (with a specialty in pomegranates, wheat, asphodel, spring plants, plants of the Underworld, and actually possibly also plants of the vine) and probably temperature control (which is already randomly a Hades kid power - though for Hades kids it seems to be only lowering temperatures. Persephone kids would most likely be able to warm things as well).

Their powers might fluctuate in strength with the seasons or the phases of the moon, or even have different powers in the day versus night, and they might get a boost of strength when in the Underworld or underground. You could potentially do some cool stuff with a dynamic of them having different powers depending on time of day or them being above/underground.

Similarly to what is implied with Hades kids, Persephone kids would also probably be partially resistant to the Rivers of the Underworld, be able to remember their lives as a ghost, and safely eat foods of the Underworld without consequence. Also, like all chthonic demigods and beings of the Underworld, they'd be capable of learning shadow-travel. Particularly powerful Demeter kids are actually also able to travel using plants, so a Persephone kid could potentially have two means of teleportation.

Persephone also has quite a few associations with serpents, so the ability to talk to snakes would be interesting. She also has a couple of myths implying her having particular abilities to invoke madness or forgetfulness. Persephone is also often attributed as presiding over a great deal of law and legality in the Underworld, so maybe powers similar to Nico's ability to judge souls or control over the dead would fit there.

Persephone is also sometimes depicted as carrying torches, so you could make the argument for some minor pyrokinesis. Also, Persephone (and more commonly her Roman "equivalents" - in particular Libera) are associated with wine (and sometimes just plainly Dionysus is considered Persephone's son), so you could argue for a child of Persephone having wine-related powers as well. That's why Persephone in Hadestown has such a prevalent wine/speakeasy theme :D

As for personality - obviously godly parent doesn't wholly play into a demigod's personality, but it can definitely shine through in certain themes. It's also usually a pun or related to their divine ancestors' aspects somehow. It's a bit harder to tell what the theme is for Hades/Pluto kids, but for Demeter kids the theme seems to be that they're very "rooted" - whatever that means in their particular case. Usually it's either they're stubborn and it's difficult to get them to change their minds or they're very sensible and value reason. I imagine a potential theme for Persephone kids might be similar - them being very "down to earth" or similarly "rooted."

Some other potential personality traits/theme options you could incorporate:

They heavily value fairness and reason, and/or rules and order are of extremely importance to them. They may have a strict personal code that they encourage others to follow, though may rarely make exceptions if moved to with enough convincing.

They acknowledge the macabre and less "pretty" sides of nature. A very "decay exists as an extant form of life" kind of person. Will absolutely rant about the importance of composting and how cool worms and isopods and stuff are. Probably into vulture culture and maybe goth. Or pastel goth.

Either gets MAJOR seasonal depression or gets some kind of winter power-up and will go full Elsa Of Death for like three months.

Dog person. Also a hellhound person. But usually dog person. And/or probably thinks "weird" pets are cool (like snakes or isopods) and has kept many.

Y'know Ruby from Ruby Gloom, or Creepie from Growing Up Creepie? That genre of kid. Like, personality-wise is not necessarily stereotypical goth and actually even pretty friendly and positive, but outwardly look super stereotypical goth or seem very monotone and dreary. It's just entirely aesthetics or coincidence.

Inversely, seem super bubbly and sunshiny and stuff but then will proceed to say the most horrifying Wednesday Addams-esque sentence you've ever heard with completely sincerity.

Literally just Persephone from Hadestown.

Hopeless romantic. Talks a lot about wanting to get literally swept off their feet.

Or, cryptid enthusiast and/or monsterfucker. The type who takes one look at Mothman and says "HOT" and has Lots Of Opinions about werewolves. Their favorite movie is Shape Of Water. Was almost definitely in Twilight fandom.

If you want to lean more into "Younger" Persephone ("Kore"), again very sweet, not necessarily innocent or naive but definitely on the bubblier side. Or maybe they have a very overbearing mortal parent and they're in that teenage rebellion phase. Either a romantic (pining, wanting to get literally swept off their feet, etc) or aromantic, since in some versions of her myths Persephone used to hang out with Athena and/or Artemis a bit, particularly if the myth is leaning into her maiden themes.

And if you want to go more the opposite direction of like "Despoina" Persephone - just full mysterious, ominous, probably monotone and cold and spooky. Very serious and maybe even pretty harsh. Think Nico in the Bryce Lawrence scene. "The Underworld had no mercy." That type of stuff. But also combo it with a like "if you defy me I will halt your life, one way or another."

One of the themes I like to attribute to Hades kids is that they're very driven by their relationships with others or steered by their hearts and bonds. That kind of "If you hurt my loved ones I will rain fury and Hades upon you and drag you to the Fields of Punishment myself. I will rip your soul from your bones and I will make it hurt." But with their loved ones they're just absolute sweethearts. Total cuddlebugs and the works. I feel like a Persephone kid would be similar. They like you? They will move heaven and earth for you. Someone fucks with their loved one(s)? Rip to them because they are about to be ripped to shreds.

And of course, these are just brainstorming of random little traits, so they can absolutely be combo'd with each other in interesting ways.

#ask #Anonymous #pjo #riordanverse #chb #camp halfblood #camp half-blood #headcanon #headcanons #< again i've really gotta get a specific tag for these #i just keep using the chb tag as a catch-all for godly parent questions #maybe i'll just start tagging these ''godly parents'' or something #godly parents #< there we go #good enough

Still jumping around a bit randomly through old DW episodes. Tonight I watched the double-header of The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit. I always liked these episodes, in large part because they go for some pretty intense deep space horror, centered around a doozy of a villain this time, because what the hell (no pun intended): we've had evil mannequins and farting aliens and evil lunch ladies so far, so why not raise the stakes about as high as they'll go for some contrast and put everybody up against the actual Devil?

When this show decides to go balls to the wall, it really goddamn goes for it.

I also appreciate, really, that these episodes had the nerve to (albeit very, very carefully) touch on matters of religion and faith, because it's pretty hard not to when you're dealing with this topic. Ultimately, though, it's mostly concerned with people, both the good and the bad: equating hell with the evil men do, and coming down squarely on the side of the most powerful belief being faith in each other to do what's right instead. And of course Rose is right smack in that column. She gets the classic companion role here of bonding with the episode's guest cast and getting the best out of them at every turn she can. Meanwhile, the Doctor's solution to the biggest conflict at the end depends entirely on faith in her, which of course pays off.

And those two spend both episodes acting so blatantly in love with each other that it's r i d i c u l o u s and apparently after seventeen years my heart has still not yet recovered from this.

I mean: the mortgage conversation, and nervously stumbling over the idea of living together somewhere? The way Rose kisses his helmet? The hugs, plural? Rose's attempt at reaching him over the comms, and desperately trying to stay behind for him even while the crew's trying to drag her to safety? That wistful conversation between Ida and the Doctor as they're both preparing for probable death, he's slowly disconnecting his cables over the chasm, and he can't get out the words for what to tell Rose, except for, "Oh, she knows"? (Fourteen would say it. Fourteen would say every damn word. Ten just kept breaking our hearts about it for multiple seasons in a row.) And then there's the foreshadowing but they're in denial about it and they don't know what they're in for in four episodes' time and he won't be able to get the truth out then either and she'll cry and break everyone's hearts and he'll cry and break mine and goddammit I have a problem.

Anyway. Have I ever mentioned I'm one part exhausted cynic and one part hopeless romantic sap? Because the latter is winning out here, kids.

Footnote about something I enjoyed at the time: Shaun Parkes, one of the key guest cast members in this, also co-starred with David Tennant in Casanova on the BBC (also written by RTD). I haven't watched that in a long damn time either, but I recall it as being entertaining, which, well, I mean: it's David Tennant as Casanova. Think that one through for a second and then go find it somewhere and see for yourself. (I'm pretty sure it's kicking around the Tube that is You unofficially, but you didn't hear that from me.)

~Abraham van Brunt/Headless horseman as boyfriend headcanons!~ (No pun intended lol)

● He's definitly a gentleman, despite his reputation as the horseman of Death, always offering you his arm when walking with you, heck! You're cold? Here, his coat! Oh? You're getting dirty looks from some co-workers or others in general? They're on the "To-kill-" list now, oh boy-

● Loves to see you smile! Will do anything to see that lovely smile, and i mean ANYTHING!! Also loves your voice! If you're shy, don't worry, he totally gets you too :3

● Very clingy, being a undead being/Dullahan, he himself doesn't generate bodyheat, so what's his solution? Cuddles! Lots of cuddles! (He's a great "coolpad" if it's summer lol) definitly touch-starved, be prepared!

● tries to know all of your interests, even if he himself doesn't care that much for it, he's happy with them if you like it!

● very protective, will fistfight anyone if they even do as much as look at you wrong! Literally, this dude WILL fistfight god for you XD he's also quite a bit insecure about you perhaps leaving him, so reassurance is sometimes needed

● Petnames!! both fancy/cute and cheesy! His favorites are darling, love and sweetheart, he'd definitly call you his "personal heater" as a joke, perhaps as a tease "my mortal"

● Rides with him on Daredevil, yes! You get the awesome privilege to ride the horse of Death! As for Daredevil, he almost likes your company more than Abraham's XD

That's all for now! Hope ya'll like it, and please let me know what ya'll want for the part 2 of the X reader <3

Hope everyone has a awesome day/night and stay spooky everyone! ~Silkekruse

2, 7, 18, 29 for jasmine my love

8, 11, 15, and 27 for arnieee

d, g, and h for both

For this ask game!

Jazmine

(i decided to change her name's spelling recently)

2. How easy is it for your character to laugh?

Very easy. She has a very broad sense of humor but in particular she quite enjoys puns. She has a fake laugh she uses to try and suppress her normal laughter because she tries to be a 'proper lady' most of the time, but once her guard is down she'll snort and holler very loudly.

7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

Looking at the online videos she used to enjoy when she was younger that she used to watch with her closest friends. She used to find the nostalgia warm and happy to think about now it just reminds her of her grief. Jazmine misses her friends.

18. What embarrasses them?

Core. She's the only person who's cooler than her. She wants to upstage her so bad it makes her look silly.

Then woopsie daisy now she has a crush on her.

29. Do they usually live up to their own ideals?

Yes! Jazmine is part of the student council of her school, captain of the volleyball team and a member of both the chess club and robotics clubs at her school. She's a straight A student with a lot of peers looking up to her, but...

She is a girl who likes to have fun, and by fun I mean wrecking stuff with her friend Candace. There was a time where her student and delinquent side weren't so separate. This caused a lot of problems for her, so she made a wish that made that pesky authenticity go away on command!

Definitely not something that could cause problems regarding her self image later on!

Arniela

8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?

Eating and playing. Their mother was strict about how much Arnie was allowed to eat, she wanted Arnie to be skinnier not just for "health" reasons but to try and make them look more like their late father who was the Cobra part of them.

Furthermore their mother would often stop Arniela from visiting friends, playing with toys, reading books they'd like, using the internet and more.

There was a lot of maltreatment in the household after their father passed and there were aspects of enmeshment happening. Such signs of enmeshment were brought up in the community meeting in which at first made people assume much much worse things happened other than emotional and physical abuse which were disproved quickly. This lead to a lot of nasty rumors though. It was the first scandal the small town ever had.

11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?

They don't they get angsty and upset about it and let that simmer. They were confused when their mother didn't try to defend herself in the meeting, they were confused when she relinquished custody, they were confused when she left after Arnie was put under the care of the Vantal home.

Arnie desperately, desperately wanted the mother they knew before their fathers death back. So these actions had made them bitter and resentful. When they don't understand someone it just reminds them of that frustration.

15. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first?

Arnie says the most horrible shit they can in the moment with like 2 seconds of thought and then waxes poetic about nothing later then cries themself to sleep abt how cringe everything they say is.

In other words they either overthink it or dont think at alll.....

After them dying they're forced to think about how they speak because they can barely remember any words at all. They work through this with speech therapy and magic, but after that they're a lot more thoughtful about how their words might effect others.

(THEY STILL SUCK AT TALKING AND SAY STUPID MEAN SHIT ANYWAYS THOUGGGHGHH)

27. What causes them to feel dread?

The mirror. There's a corpse in it.

QUESTIONS FOR ME ABOUT THEM

D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?

Arnie has had a TON of looks:

Jazmine's appearance isn't complete but she's mostly consistent:

(i cant find other art of her rn)

G) What trait of theirs bothers you the most?

Arnie: Very little self awareness or awareness for others for most of the story. It makes it difficult to make them likeable.

Jazmine: She's smart and good at socializing, I am only one of those things. (smart) Jealous of her.

H) What trait do you admire most?

Arnie: Fosters a strong solid sense of justice as they grow up and has a little more humility than their sister Core about it in that they don't think anyone should choose who lives and dies LMAO.

Jazmine: She's vury purty. I love how she's one of the most feminine characters in the story so far and that she holds herself with confidence and dignity.

Meraa!! This one is for that ask game :D

(1) Okay, it's hard choosing just one (You always write BANGERS, It's THAT hard okay?), but if I'm gonna pick, it's gonna be Death Row Undertow <3 I have been down bad for SK Jade from your ramblings and thoughts and then actually getting a serialized fic of him is just the best thing to have ever happened ever since.

I love everything about it! Reader's interaction and relationship with every character in the fic, the whole atmosphere and setting, the mystery and suspense build-up (Oh, the scene when Jade kidnapped the reader will forever send shivers down my spine--), and how the point of view not only was seen from the reader and the horror she is experiencing but also seeing Riddle's effort in solving the mystery. Hell, the chapter where Cater got together with Pop Music Club again was one of my favorites! It really gives more perspective and a sense of wholeness when you're writing about the story of the reader's disappearance from so many different angles. Also, the dream sequences are also my favorite for symbolic reasons. It's just fun reading and rereading them to figure out what they truly mean ✨✨

The runner-ups for my favorite fic of yours are gonna be Android Jade, Captive Azul, CEO Azul, and 11:11 Rook 💞💞

(3) I may be biased, but the way you write for the Octatrio is *Chef's kiss* ✨✨💞💞😌😌 Both the yandere ones and the fluffy wholesome ones, like OUGHHHH OTZ OTZ They are canon in my heart now shdskdhlsdjlks--

(8) The thing that I really love about your writings is that your description is so, so, so vivid that plenty of those scenes are permanently ingrained in my memory. Adding that with your characterization and writing conversation skills, boy! It's almost like I'm actually watching a movie instead of reading cause the way you write them makes them so easy to visualize in my head (and god Mera, if I had the skills, I would've permanently etched them on drawings plenty of times by now--).

(9) THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME ✨✨ (I'm a Jade Leech enjoyer, what else can I say?) Actually, I'm always excited whenever you post any fic or ramblings <33 Always a joy to read them over breakfast like the morning newspaper. Wait no, actually, your writings ARE the breakfast cause you be COOKIN and SERVIN a whole MEAL 👏👏👏

Okay, that's all my ramblings for now, I hope they make sense-- But words cannot describe how much I adore your creations and that big brain of yours <333 I would be happy to scream more about your writings in the future, and I definitely will ✨✨ Have a lovely day Meraa 💞💞

KHEYY, HIIIII!!!

You have such good taste. (˘ ˘ ˘) sk!Jade is the most delectable and delicious Jade (pun very much intended). He's just in a hungry mood all the time hehe!! But I'm also very happy it is a full fic! To think I would ever draft an entire story for one silly eel... I'm very glad the idea was received well. I remember I wrote the very first and earliest sk!Jade concept while I was washing my clothes at the coin laundry LOL. I thought to myself, this idea is so morbid; I wonder if anyone would ever like it as much as I do. ^^;;; and now one year later here we are and my beloved murder eel has his fic!!! It's very exciting!

I'm so happy you like everything about DRU!!! It's a plot I hold close to my heart because it's so dark and yet so fun to write. I'm glad you can enjoy the multiple perspectives. I think it's a fun balance between the horrors Reader endures on her side while Riddle is so lawful and logical on his end. The kidnapping scene with Jade was one of my favorites to write, as was the Pop Music Club meet-up!!! Although any scene involving Jade being an absolute terror is a joy to write. Any time he appears in a scene it's a guarantee that the dread and tension will increase tenfold. He has such a sinister effect despite wearing a friendly face all the time. T_T and the dream sequences!!!! Omg I love writing the dreams in DRU! They're so fun, and I hope you can have fun deciphering what they mean hehehe. >:)

Thank you for loving the runner-ups you listed as well!! Android Jade is another favorite flavor of Jade. I love him when he's clinical and cold and detached towards everyone else but Reader. <3 and ceo!Azul my beloved!!!!! He makes me feel so infuriated! >:( but then that's the feeling I hoped he would evoke, so it's only natural to feel like I want to squish him (but also I want to sit under his desk and [redacted] LOL orz the grip he has on me is too strong; to be able to annoy me and fill me with shameless lust all in one... tako, you're the worst/best). AND 11:11 ROOK!!!! Oooooo he's horrible. Captive Azul is also so beloved. I'm gently holding him in my palms. T^T

WAAAA OMG THANK YOUUUU!!! It's so funny to me that my Octavinelle characterizations can be loved because when I first started writing them (for Sea Glass) I had no idea what I was doing and I worried that they would be ooc. But now I have written them so often that they're permanently imprinted in my mind. It's nearly second nature now... ;;;;;

"Like watching a movie" is such high praise for my writing omg!!!!ヾ⁠(˶⁠ ⁠’⁠Ｏ⁠’˶⁠ ⁠)⁠ﾉﾞ‎thank you so so so so much!!!! I'm very pleased it has that feeling! I hope the sceneries and characters can seem tangible when I describe them. It's cliché, but I hope they come to life on the page teehee. <3 I am always so honored when you draw masterpieces (yes, they are masterpieces!!! Even the doodles you have made of the beloved sk eel!!!) based on my works. T_T I save all of the fanart I have received in a folder and I often look back at it because it brings me such joy!!!!! >w< so thank you for your skillful hands!!!! orz orz orz I am forever grateful to behold your lovely art. <3

Fellow Jade enjoyer!!!!!! I am the world's most insane Jade Leech enjoyer (self-granted delusion) and TMDG is just proof of how much brain rot Jade gives me. Thank you for looking forward to it! I'm so excited to post it!!! It's going to be a three-course meal plus more wrapped into one fic. >:) but omg thank you for eating the meals I cook each time!!! Chef Meraki is forever at your service!!! (`･ω･´)ゞ I will serve FEASTS and BANQUETS worth of yummy meals for everyone to enjoy. The seafood specials are especially delicious hehehe. I recommend them!

Aaaaaa thank you once more for sending such a sweet message!!! I am also always so ready and willing to ramble about writing and yandere and characters and three slimy mafia fish and everything else in between!!! Sending you much love!!!! xoxoxo have the loveliest day, Kheyy!!!! (∗˃̶ ᵕ ˂̶∗)♡
