[mellohiizz]

Subz anon here again,,,

Hii again hope you’re doing well, if you’re taking requests againn some purple duo or sunshield? *flutters my eyelashes at you*

okay, why not both though?

[lifesteal-headcanons]

I've seen a lot of demon Branzy. And I really like it. One thing is in s5 when he got 4c and Mystic in debt to him. I imagine he just had them sell their souls. Did they realize at the time that's what he was doing? Maybe maybe not. Can't stop it now

But even as a demon. That seemed pretty simple for him to do. Maybe he has experience. Like the fact he did on another server sell Kab's soul to another person via a flower.

So I raise you. Branzy while not a threat on LifeSteal is absolutely more of a threat than the server knows when he's not on there. As LifeSteal being a mix from maybe humans? Maybe. And full demons and such. Has very strict magic rules

Branzy however is a threat from the fact he's a very old demon with many souls. If anyone went with him to hell they would see a much different Branzy as it takes a certain type of way to keep so many souls in line. Some of them you'll see even look broken. Because they are. If he can't get them under control with commands and rules he'll break their souls. He doesn't like to. But he will.

I also like to imagine Vitalasy long before LifeSteal sold his soul to Branzy when desperate. And is one of the only members to know this other side. He has deliberately hidden it from everyone including Clown. Though prior to them leaving LifeSteal. Branzy and Vitalasy agreed as long as Vitalasy does what's expected in hell as one of Branzy's most trusted souls. He doesn't mess with the deal at all on LifeSteal. Part of the reason Vitalasy is so trusted is that unlike the other souls if he pulls something Branzy would have been able to find him on the server eventually.

Also yes Vitalasy did have a mini freakout after Branzy's betrayal for Clown worried he'd go back on their agreement for the way of the soul. But physically couldn't say anything. It greatly worried Subz.

Hi Citrus, so sorry I'm having to send this ask through you but that anon (https://wwwtumblrcom/freakinator/769445402005176320) HAS PISSED ME OFF SO BAD and I can't beef with them directly Like I'm pretty sure this is a new gen LS fan, because on god this had been an ongoing issue since at the very least s4 and some of the members that got called out the most for that sorta shit was Subz, Vitalasy and I'm pretty sure Mapicc too so newflash dickhead you're wrong. Fuck, even Zam has done some ableist shit with pirate!zam and the gay joker Then bringing out Gothel, prev anon let me tell you this as someone who grew up handling ableism due to being heavily neurodivergent, infantalizing someone is absolutely a form of it and intentionally or not Kab's performance manages to hit the nail straight on the head to the point it's common for me to be physically uncomfortable during her yaps with Zam (which does force me to take breaks during which i mute the stream) because a LOT of what she says is rhetoric I've had thrown in my face and yeah it's still triggering to this day the reason a ton of this is getting shined onto ls!Kab is because a ton of people like you anon, are trying so so hard to brush it under the rug and claim "oh it's normal manipulation, she's just messing with his emotions" and cry this sorta shit to avoid taking a deeper or critical look, so maybe it would do you good to examine yourself in a mirror before trying to chastise someone else.

You shouldn't be trying to excuse this, you shouldn't be sticking your head so far up your own ass to justify a character doing shitty actions, like I legit want to know what the fuck were you thinking by trying to excuse her dragging him into teams, her trying to take decisions for him, banking on his paranoia so he lets shit go, expecting complete dependence on her from his side, constantly attributing his actions to someone else, writing him off as an easy target since there is no retribution... because that's also an issue on it's own, the fact that ls!Kab only pulls this shit on Zam, you know, the character that for seasons has been a victim of ableism (being called schizophrenic, psychotic, considered unable to make his own decisions) Anon I legit hope you get better as a person And Citrus, I hope these anons leave you alone jfc you're more patient than me

this was sent before anons apology but im deciding to post it anyway cause it encapsulates why so many ppl on tumblr have such a problem with ls!kabs behaviour and id like to link it whenever i have to explain myself for the hundredth time this week

[lifesteal-tournaments]

The tournament with the most amount of lore potential for vitalasy was in duos tournament, considering he didnt really make it far in the other tournaments(sadly) and theres not much to work with. The reason i say this is because 2/3 duos he was in (amethyst and purple duo) lost to glitch duo, whereas starfox was beaten twice by yuri duo and petalhop.

I had some discussions with jumperwho anon since he knows duos better than me and has had actual thoughts about how it functions. The way he described was like musical chairs, like when one duo loses, if the two in that duo have another duo still alive then they will go separately.

With that being said, amethyst losing to glitch goes a lot deeper because of this. This poll allows squiddo basically separate jumper away from him, while also not even being in the form of yuri duo. Vitalasy is losing his friend who he cares for deeply, of course he’d feel sorts of negative emotions, but he cant do anything, because thats not how the polls go.

Additionally, this might create some sort of grudge perhaps towards glitch duo considering he lost, twice in fact, to them. Two people (subz and jumper) he cared deeply for were separated from him, he cant truly be with them again, no matter his strange attachment towards them that seems to span much longer than hes been alive. Feelings are weird in the lifesteal tournaments world.

The starfox vs yuri duo poll also makes the pain worse, as its when he can finally reunite with jumper after everything, but its under bad circumstances. Shes with Squiddo who was apart of that incident, and he knows he shouldnt feel any resentment or frustrations, but he cant really help it. It just feels like a betrayal. He tries understanding Jumper the best he can considering not many before tried understanding him, and hes okay with it. At least he thinks hes okay with it. Its no surprise when he loses, but hes not dead by Jumpers hands, she doesnt want to bare the guilt of his death, so shes allowing him to go with zam and go against petalhop instead.

The last bit was apart of me and jumperwho anons lore pondering discussion and he also compared jumper betraying vitalasy for squiddo with jumper betraying vitalasy for abyss.. take that however you like

-angst anon

i love vitalasy so so much but its been so long so i hope this is very vitalasy-like because i want to pat him on the head

WAUGHHHHH ohhh my sweet vitalasy......... thank you this is peak never stop cooking

[conhex]

pmoon anon now not so anon

love a lot of your picks. ALSO, am SO glad that what you meant assigning abnormalities. thought you were trying to design entire distortions/egos for which of them (ps would LOVE to see all those notes) as for some thoughts on these - LAETITIA IS SO GOOD FOR JUMPER - DRV is hilarious for vortexdragon, no points completely peak - i dont know toooo much about vi or subz but i think we can change anything from the framing of 'suicide for the greater good', as a choice to change the situations youre locked in is possible?? like i said idr know much about them - hurting teddy bear for zam. abuse and abandonment for those who SHOULD care for him, while continuing to fulfill his duty despite it all im locked out rn but Ill Be Back For More. (also im gonna go and read up on some of these other lifestealers)

Hey! Welcome back!

ok so, my bad for not properly explaining what I meant, though honestly making actual abnormalities and their respective ego also sounds fun! Most of my notes were honestly super disorganized since the thought started late at night while I couldn't properly write... so it's a bit hard to read? to the point I actually mis-assigned Vitalasy as "Violet Noon" instead of "Violet Midnight" when transcribing it, oops... anyways!

- Im glad the Jumper pick makes sense, like Laetitia is one of my favorite abnos to get and I actually had some trouble initially when trying to find one that fit, then I was looking at Laetitia (very pink) and remembered the familiar/friend and was sold lol.... but I was also super sold on Ruina's Alriune because I think it's something Id enjoy drawing, so that's why they're both there

- Glad you got the DRV one, confusing (if you don't know the timer thing) abno that is surprisingly fitting for this guy 👍

- This part is actually (partially) why it took me so long to reply, because I read the ask way earlier and misinterpreted it so I spent a long time confused until I realized you meant the abno "We can change anything" (Im used to referring to it as iron maiden)

and I think I can see your vision? But I don't particularly like it, mostly due to like three reasons being that I was trying to avoid tool abnormalities since they're usually pretty cut and dry with the exceptions being Minute and Red, since I know Backwards Clock has an aberration in Limbus (Steam Transport Machine, O-06-21-16) that I can pull from and the gambling abno was a bit too funny for me to pass up...

then there is the fact that I didn't really perceive them that way? it's absolutely been a while since I've seen older seasons, but back then I never got the impression that WcCA gives me surrounding death, cuz that one is really really different. If you want something similar vibe wise with the self sacrifice, I think Apocalypse Bird might work?

and finally, I legit dislike WcCA to the point not even the cheese strat would make consider it, so that abno is a skip-on-sight

- I think actually HTB for Zam could be kinda cute? I do actually like the design of the Hex Nail egos, so yeah that's a solid pick imo. Still heavily biased towards AiB/AiP due to the abnormality backstory lining up surprisingly well with Zam's s6 (or general character timeline) and also bc I want to put this yellow guy in situations.

Not actually an abno I had considered at first since there isn't an observation log, but the design.... so i guess he can get a cute costume, as a treat ^ ^

[myrmica]

hii mer!! i just watched subz’s "wallibear is on lifesteal" vod (21/1/23), here are a few interesting clips from there, if you wanna add them to the doc :)

for context, subz vitalasy and 3ht get together to kill wallibear for hearts (and also 10k definitely real bitcoin). there’s a fight at the start and then again at about 1h10 in, bunch of cool moments in those, subz gets 4 kills (one off stream) and then dies twice which is still a net heart positive, then mapicc comes to him and vi with the spoke-zam alliance conspiracy

1:03:33-1:04:10 this is just a really funny clip so. they’re hanging out at detroit. vi and 3ht figured out how to dupe golden apples. the floor is covered in them. vitalasy is standing in a circle of gaps. then parrot pearls in out of nowhere and there is a very awkward moment where they all just stare at each other. also they are all dressed as wallibear i feel like this adds to the effect

2:00:20-2:00:50 conspiracy time! this is actually kinda funny too cause mapicc’s going on a whole rant about how zam and spoke are 100% a team, and his first piece of evidence is that zam geared walli in association with spoke. actually subz literally told him to do that, which he messages to vitalasy

2:01:10-2:01:55 spoke used an associate to revive parrot. mapicc is convinced it’s zam. vi messages subz that he was actually the associate

2:04:51-2:05:30 apparently spoke has a double chest of hearts somewhere. typical spoke shit! mapicc says zam’s in on it (and that it also justifies why zam keeps throwing his lives away! dude does not know the zam lore smh)

honestly i’m not sure if mapicc is actually being honest or if he wants to get into their heads and ruin zam’s life a little more. he has to believe the spoke part for sure like he knows what he’s like, but idk about the zam stuff

2:21:45-2:22:30 subz and vi talk about duped hearts. everyone might have fake hearts! "it does sound like a spoke thing to have a fucking double chest of duped hearts"

2:26:50-2:27:54 talking about trusting zam. they say an alliance with spoke won't make him betray them anyway and decide to just wait it out. "anyway zam’s cool"

2:27:55-2:28:30 mapicc might just be playing mind games. dude really hates zam

2:29:30-2:29:45 maybe mapicc is in his own mind hehe

the conspiracy theory carries over to the next stream, i think you already have clips for that :] but this one might also be a nice add (subz's "banning wallibear" vod, 22/1/23)

57:32 –57:53 he talks about his "alliance" with mapicc (for killing wallibear and playing along with the conspiracy) "i am against mapicc", did what he did because he thought vi had plans with him, and he also needs more hearts. also anon was right man has no idea what's going on

anyway big thanks again for the guide!! it's making losing my mind over season 4 very easy :D

hi teal :D thank you for these!!! (it's fun to get a little window into where you are in vod-watching also, i can kinda guess from your art but this is more direct hehe)

the spoke-zam conspiracy thing is so funny, i missed this little subplot entirely. like mapicc is clearly just earnestly wrong about a lot of this, i have no idea if they're right about it being an attempt to break zam away from subz and vi? we do know from the mapicc's mouth that without subz castle arc would have been worse. i kinda wanna sit down and watch through this in full now but it's a longer one so i'll answer this ask without making you wait ^_^'

clips added ✔️

[mumboyumbo]

what's your royal au about? (premise, setting, characters, whatever you want to talk about)

GAHHHH ANON I LOVE U SLASH PLATONIC. OK RAMBLE UNDER THE CUT

so, basic premise: zam is the prince of a still unnamed kingdom, and he's heir to the throne. he has a sister, delilah. zam's childhood best friend is pangi, a village boy he would sneak out to see and spend time with! he would bring him food and gifts and whatever else he could, because the village is mostly on the poorer side. that upsets zam and delilah, obviously, but their parents r very mehh and aren't the best at caring for their people, but the prince and princess do enough good deeds that the people aren't super upset about it!

there's this scraggly group of village kids who get together one day, and decide hey, we don't want to be poor anymore. we don't want to have to rely on the good deeds of the prince and princess to survive. this group is composed of mapicc, a tiefling that saws off his own horns to try and look more human, a boy named parrot, who was training to be a knight, a kid named ro, a spellcaster in training. he's an elf! there's another boy, named spoke, who's apart of this group. he's studying necromancy under vitalasy, a high level mage who works for a guild with oasis, a shapeshifter. they do a lot of healing work.

anyway, this group of kids call themselves the leviathan. they decide that their goal is to topple the kingdom, and they want to start with the prince, the heir to the throne.

so they attempt to "kill" him. this happens while zam is in the village, unguarded — he doesn't like being surrounded by guards, he doesn't like having to rely on others like that, feeling weak and like he's dragging them down — besides, he's plenty capable himself.

but he makes a near fatal mistake. walks down the wrong alleyway, and brushes past a hooded tiefling. and this tiefling stabs him in the stomach, blood on his hands, and taunts zam. it's a power move, it's not to kill him, not yet. it's to get into his head. tell the people that the leviathan is rising, that they are capable of killing the prince. after this, zam and delilah are assigned knights, personal guards to follow them wherever, protect them with their lives. the leviathan only let zam live because they could kill him, and they wanted to send a message. and oh, the message was sent.

delilah ends up with reddoons, and they get along pretty well. and zam? he ends up with subz. subz is highly skilled and originally takes the job for the gold. that's what he tells everyone, anyway. but he cares for the prince. he cares about protecting him, so he swears his life to protecting him.

branzy is a tinkerer who lives in a kingdom a little far off. midmystic is the ruler of this one, but branzy gets bored. he's been exchanging letters with his best friend rek, a pirate, for years, and once he gets word that rek's crew, and their ship, the echocraft, will be docking at mid's kingdom, he arranges to see his best friend again. he meets chief, the captain of the crew rek is apart of, and they get a little too drunk and end up getting married. whoops!

clownpierce is the court jester, but also the kingdom executioner. he does bounty work in his spare time. he's extremely good at it. people theorize that he is not entirely human.

ivorycello is a monster slayer/bounty hunter. she works off and on with clownpierce. she's known as the "god-slayer" for rumors that she killed a deity, something she's never confirmed nor denied. she finds it funny that people have made themselves that scared of her.

ANYWAY!!! that's not nearly everything but !!! :333 if u have any more questions PLEASE ASK THEM!!! this is my pride and joy

Ascending to (usually temporary) godhood is an exhilarating experience, but it is also excruciatingly painful as every atom in an individual’s body reforms and reshapes to become something that shouldn’t exist in a mortal body (same goes for admins possessing host players). In Spoke’s case (during the Wormhole), he became even more smoky and developed a complete intolerance for oxygen due to suffocating on his own breath during the process. Ash, in season 3, sprouted his first set of (smaller) wings, which tore through his muscles like butter, also causing corruption. During the Wormhole, he sprouted his second, much larger pair of wings, which hurt a lot more and fully corrupted his left eye. Vitalasy and Subz both became more sinister and shadowy, their eyes getting wider and teeth getting sharper. In season 5, Wemmbu felt his body’s soul collapse in on itself after so much resistance, and Squiddo’s every cell became a small explosive, causing a pop-rock effect every time she moved. The effects have mostly worn off now, but there are still small explosions in their joints once in a while.

Lifestealers have wings!! Whatever wings they have also affects their personality:

Parrot- Parrot wings, obviously. He mimicks people a lot.

Jumper- Blue jay wings. She’s incredibly vocal, speaks her mind, and if someone gets a little too close to her she gets violent.

Zam- Chicken wings (Vitalasy tried to teach him to fly once but he just landed on his ass). He wakes people up a lot in the morning.

Kab- Angel wings. She’s very peaceful by herself, but will do what she needs to if it means keeping the balance.

Pangi- Penguin wings (again, obviously). He can’t fly, but he’s very protective over himself and his friends.

Reddoons: Cardinal wings. He’s very territorial and loud about the fact too. He’ll also eat literally anything.

Ashswag- Owl wings. He likes to camouflage a lot, likes to stay in hiding. He’s also very, VERY expressive.

Branzy- Hummingbird wings. He’s incredibly jumpy and overly cautious, and he’s always moving. His thoughts are always moving at a thousand miles a minute.

Clown- Crow wings. As we all know, he’s basically a walking (or flying) symbol of death. He’s incredibly loyal though, and it shows.

Subz- Vulture wings. He always seems to be left with everyone’s leftovers. He doesn’t mind it much anymore, since people always seem to be throwing things out. There’s always more than enough of what he needs left over.

Vitalasy- Pigeon wings. Just likes Subz he’s left with people’s leftovers, except he’s more likely to follow people around and stare at them with these beady eyes in order to get them to feed him.

Wemmbu- Finch wings. He’s very social, and he can speak very well at times, but other times he’s just obnoxious to the other Lifestealers.

Subz's main hand is right hand, but it is so corrupted that it's just impossible to properly use it. Disability moment, I guess. So he had to learn how to use his left hand as main. Right hand is now only used for holding secondary items like gapples/totems/etc. Shields are also a problem, because due to corruption his right hand has become weak and limp, so he has a hard time lifting the shield and carrying it around in hand. Additionally, the corruption pattern is similiar to how explosion emoji looks or something. So it basically looks like he painted a black-purple emo tattoo on his chest and face. Too bad it's actually corruption which is damaging his muscle tissue and neurons. Let's wait and see how long would it take Subz to turn blind because of consequentional scleritis + completely lose the ability to control his right hand. (take note i'm not a pro in biology and human anatomy so whatever was said is fictional and works because magic :3) - blossom anon
