Most recent time playing Little Nightmares 2: Yep, the kids aren’t alright.

I need to put Al-Haitham’s low(ish) empathy high emotional intelligence egoism mish mash of a brain in a blender for science. Like he is kind but not nice he is sentimental but he extends that to a very select few things. He understands emotion in relation to conflict but also fails miserably at applying it to personal problem solving. Like I get him(tm) but I would like to put him in a Petri dish anyway to see him writhe like I am a god and he is an ant. I need to study his multitudes like it’s a full time job.

so as a note, test muses won't be getting abouts unless I decide to add them for sure onto my muse list. That being said, about half way done with the remaining bios I need to do.

Also sighs and looks at Shiro again. He might....become a test muse....we shall see.

Tfw my viral homestuck posts where I cite my sources within the comic now have broken links bc it ain't mspa anymore...

Surely some of the links on that post work... some I was citing screenshots, but still.

hey so what if i told yall i got stabbed

When you say "even in canon this character is acting OOC" do you mean it as in "this character's canon dropped the ball on internal consistency with them" or do you mean "this character I normally relate to made a decision that I wouldn't have made" or do you mean "this character isn't acting like the fanon we developed by rotating them in our heads for 67295 combined hours away from the source material"?

@lunargifted asked: “ do i trust you? absolutely not. next question. ” Atsushi

prompts for emotionally stunted idiots

He flinched. Okay, that stung abit, but he wasn't entirely surprised. If their roles were reversed, he wasn't sure if he'd trust the other tiger either. Especially if he had still been in the mafia, it would have been a blood bath on sight.

"....Next question." The reaper echoed as he shoved his hands into his black jacket pockets. It likely didn't help he was dressed in his old get up, large black coat with a few dried bloodstains on it, and the white fur around his neck. His eyes meet the mirror's, and they narrow and start to turn gold.

"Are you fine with having a million death's on your conscious?" He lets the question hang in the air for a moment. It was cruel to come at it from this perspective, but maybe it would finally get through the 'real' Atsushi's thick skull. "My world might have been born from the book, but it was real. My friends, my new family, the children at the orphanage...They were real. I could touch them, feel them, laugh with them, cry with them....and I'm here asking for help to get them back."

He takes a few steps closer to Atsushi, standing right in front of him. For a moment, there's a low growl as the beast reaches up to grab at the original's collar, lifting his feet just barely off the ground as he continued to speak. "They aren't just dead now, they're gone. As if they never existed. The ADA, the port mafia, the orphanage, anyone and everyone I know - they're gone. So you can trust me when I say I would burn this world down to get them back." He had been making so much progress, but now...now he is back at square one. Any kindness he thought he had built up was gone now. Kyoka wasn't here to calm him, and who knew if Akutagawa had made it to this world to help him either. As far as he knew, he was all alone, again. Not even Dazai could help him this time. His only hope was to get the original world's book and bring his world back to life again. He had to bring everyone back....or die trying.

"You're either going to help me, because that's what detectives are supposed to do. Or you're going to stay out of my way." He drops Atsushi then, and whether or not he catches his balance when his feet hit the ground is not the reaper's concern.

"You don't have to completely trust me to work with me." He decides to say after taking a few deep breaths, rubbing his gloved hand over his face in an attempt to calm himself down. This is the exact kind of situation where he would lose control. He tries to focus on the coping mechanisms he's learned from Mori, but it just makes the pain worse. Damn it, he just gained a father only to lose him within a few weeks....Did Dazai curse him by letting him know the information of the book? He thinks he would have rather been ignorant.

What else could he say? What would convince the real Atsushi to work with him? He could understand why the other was hesitant. The reaper was the worst version of the original. Atsushi likely didn't want to see himself in a mirror looking and acting how he was now - but he couldn't change in the blink of an eye. And so many weeks of therapy and coping was going down the drain now.

He turns his back to Atsushi, taking one more deep breath. "Think on it." He grits out through his teeth. "I'll be waiting at the port." He couldn't be here anymore, he needed to remove himself from the situation. So he starts walking, however slow the pace might be, he's walking. His shoulders are hunched as he grips the front of his jacket while he does so. Breathe, he reminds himself, don't lose control, not here.

Development. Small misc headcanons about the twin verse

He’s in Scarbia, he’s kind of like Jamil’s back up when he gets his hands too full. Bishop is pretty easy to deal with when you give him something he wants (money, food, jewelry, etc). He occasionally does chores for the other Scarabia members in return for some extra cash or class notes.

I wouldn’t say he’s friends with anyone in Scarabia though, he’s probably closest to Jamil but thee both of them are aware the other are a fucking snake so they keep eachother at arm’s length. (and then there’s Kalim who thinks he’s friends with everyone, and Bishop occasionally entertains this). He doesn’t have any friends at all, tbh.

He’s the younger twin.Ruggie is older by like a minute or two. But he doesn’t like being treated like a younger sibling or anyone who needs to rely on family. Kalim has a habit of treating him like a sibling and Bishop hates it. And this makes Ruggie’s attempts to connect with his younger brother a little difficult.

His hair is long, a little bit past his shoulders, he keeps it up in a high ponytail.

Abit of a flirt, Pansexual and proud. Though most know that he would only seriously date someone rich.

He’s demi/aromantic. He doesn’t really think romance exists but hey if someone can prove him wrong, he wouldn’t mind.

Kalim forced him to join the Light Music Club since he was refusing to join any club at all, and turns out that Bishop is actually a very good singer. But he refuses to do anything live, so he mostly just does the mixing/set up for Lillia, Cater, and Kalim. He explained the only reason his voice is good because he would practice for street performances and get money that way. When the three have their escapades out of the classroom, Bishop stays behind and makes it seem like the room is still in use so the club doesn’t get in trouble. This is normally when he practices his own singing, when he’s alone.

His unique magic is called ‘Sleeping in the Elephant Graveyard’ and with it he can fake his own death. He cannot use this ability on anyone else. He can snap out of it with a kind of trigger that he sets up beforehand (an alarm on his phone, for example. If he hears it he’ll wake up). If he doesn’t set up a trigger, then it’s possible he’ll be out for a whole day. While he’s under the magic, his pulse completely stops, his eyes are unresponsive, and he stops breathing. When he awakens he feels a bit nauseous and is normally physically weak for a few hours as his body catches up with being alive again. As a last ditch defense mechanism incase someone really thinks he is dead and moves his body, he will automatically be woken up if something sharp punctures his skin, so stab him to make sure he’s really dead, I guess.

He faked his death during the Chapter 4 bullshit so he could escape being mindcontrolled by overblot jamil. He sit the trigger as someone taking a blanket off of him that he hid himself under - so when they were cleaning up the next morning and someone found him, they pulled back the blanket and screamed and slowly Bishop woke up after Kalim and Jamil appeared - thinking he was actually dead. That’s when the dorm found out about his unique magic. Kalim clung to him and cried alot after finding out. Jamil was just glad he hadn’t actually killed anyone.

Like my canon verse Ruggie, Bishop doesn’t have a tail and wears a fake and hopes to get a prosthetic one day. He hasn’t told anyone how he lost it, especially not Ruggie.

Ruggie might have a good work ethic but Bishop is a sleezeball. He’d rather cheat his way to the talk then work hard. Hence why he doesn’t have part time jobs like Ruggie. He normally has scams set up or does stuff in the town near the college like street performing or something of the like for extra money. Also it helps being in a dorm with Kalim cause if he asks for a few bucks for something, Kalim will just give it to him. But even Bishop has SOME manners, and doesn’t take advantage of Kalim unless he really needs to.

Good reveal au, where after learning phantom's identity and realizing the atrocities that the GIW have committed (or alternatively, ethical science au, where they find out the GIW plagarized them), the fenton parents decided to create the 'ultimate ghost-ending weapon' and sell it to the agents.

They go absolutely overboard, describing to the agents in meticulous detail how it evaporates any ghost it hits near-instantly and describing it quite ruthlessly in the blueprints, and soon the GIW have raplaced all their main weapons with the new gun.

Except it doesn't actually kill ghosts. It's the Fenton Bazooka. You know, the one that creates a portable portal to suck the ghost back into the ghost zone? What they actually did was retool it slightly to make it look more grusome than it actually is. They even added a beacon in Phantom's Keep, which all Fenton Bazookas will target when they open a portal, so the ghosts are always delivered to the keep.

From there, Phantom stationed an emergency medical team at the keep to treat the many injured and ragged ghosts that the GIW 'destroyed,' and to explain what just happened.

What they didn't anticipate was that now that the GIW have a mass-produced weapon that they believed would effectively eradicate ghosts, they would go on the offensive. They have a number of cities they've been monitoring but didn't want to get involved in without better tools.

One of those cities is Gotham.

And the Bats are ectocontaminated enough to register as ghosts.

Batman witnessed several of his children get evaporated by green energy weapons within mere moments of each other. He's absolutely gutted. Devastated. They didn’t even stand a chance.

He'll get his revenge, and it's frighteningly easy to track the weapon to private subcontractors. The Doctors Fenton, in Illinois. Their research calls for the genocide of all ghost kind, and apparently, that war started by killing his own children.

His children will not die in vain.

He gets to Amity Park and finds the Engineer's Nightmare of a building that is Fentonworks, but that night, before he can hack through the security and break in, one of the windows opens.

It's one of his kids that he had watched evaporate before his very eyes. They give him a silent signal of one of their identifying security codes and gesture for him to come inside.

Is it a trap? A prank in poor taste? Utterly genuine?

He goes through the window.

All of his dead kids are there, wearing borrowed pajamas and only their dominoes to conceal their identities. Daniel Fenton (son of the Fentons, this is his bedroom, has voiced a few arguments against his parent's views, but still an unknown) is among the crowd of teens and young adults, twirling on an office chair and obnoxiously sipping a capri sun.

"First thing you need to know, Bats," Daniel says after finishing his drink, "is that my parents are absolutely NOT genocidal ectophobic scumbags, and that is the reason why your kids are still alive."

Possibly The most surprising thing I have discovered on the internet is the number of people who will unironically refer to others as "degenerates" without expecting anyone reading this to immediately assume that they are a straight-up fascist

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A KNIGHT...

the visual inspiration for this was a combination of Frederic William Burton's Meeting on the Turret Stairs and also Bernardo Cavallino's The vision of St. Dominic receiving the Rosary from the Virgin

this was supposed to be just a one off illustration to get the thoughts out of my system, but then I started thinking about medieval politics and warfare and plagues and a castle and home as both a place of refuge, a prison, and a tomb, so perhaps they will end up as ex voto characters as well.

you may say, hey! that rosary looks like it has too many beads! it's a fifteen decade rosary, probably. dominicans are really into marian devotions. it works out.

also. spiral style stair cases. oh boy. it was that unexpectedly more difficult than I originally thought it would be to draw. the more I think about it, the less I understand them, even though I had a million photos of the stairs in front of me while I was drawing it.
