honestly the funniest thing they could do is if the ceo and her suspiciously buff secretary AREN'T the villains of the game

rambling bout divinity au in the wake of the new fic:

sampo Did in fact wipe gepards memory of that night. but at this point in the rough timeline i have in mind sampo has fucked w gepards memory So Much and hes... not really good at it like thats fuli's job. so gepards building up a resistance

sampo has a tendency to wipe geps memory a Lot and often for stupid shit. like mid chase sampo trips and eats shit? oo thats embarassing cant have gep remembering that.

(another fic idea is the first chase where gepard actually catches sampo and sampo is so flustered he causes a localized ecological disaster around em and accidentally grows plants n flowers around gepard and then wipes geps memory)

gepard 100% knows that sampo was the one who arrested elias/the dude who stabbed him. he knows that sampo somehow got around all of their guards and security. he knows sampo tried to mess with his memory somehow.

i dont want gepard to seem like an airhead in this. kind of hard to balance it because his obliviousness to aeonic influences is central to the whole au but at the point of this fic. he Knows theres something not 'right' w sampo

at this point gepard knows sampo isnt human or has some inhuman things going on. hes decided its not relevant to the records against him and refuses to mention it or allude to it.

serval was mentioned for exactly 1 line but i have a fic planned from her perspective. she knows sampo isnt human and does her own investigations against him which leads to her butting hands with natasha. pela also knows 'something' is up w sampo but moreso about how sampo feels bout gepard.

gepard shuts down all insistances that sampo is abnormal esp from serval and pela because he doesnt want anything to change for sampo. its sort of his own way of being protective

i cut out that segment where sampo goes to natasha before finding elias but my idea is that sampo goes to natasha for comfort very often. they have a strong mutual understanding and shes kinda like an older sister/maternal figure sometimes to him

(his 'childhood' was shit and he sees his own experiences in the underworld children. so hes envious of how nat treats them lovingly because he never had that and has never had any supportive older figure considering hes not human)

i loved writing the segment with lan because lan's origins as an aeon are interesting to me.

considering lan rose to aeonhood from a hatred for Yaoshi, how sampo felt when spiralling in his anger towards elias is how lan 'feels' all the time. Lan is an aeon but is a very... emotion based aeon.

thats why lan reached out to sampo but never aha. he could feel sampos anger and relate to it. (lan's message was almost a warning as well as a jab at sampo being 'weak')

sampo thinks gepard is an emanator of qlipoth but hes so wrong.

sampo considers making gepard his emanator. he wouldnt though. if he was aha? absolutely. but hes human now and knows doing something like that and altering gepard without his knowledge would be a betrayal. gepard isnt suited for elation anyways

people who know sampo isnt exactly human: gepard, natasha, serval

people who know sampo is so down bad for gep: pela, seele, natasha

i dont think anyone fully realizes hes an aeon though. because thats so unimagimable. nat is the closest though

so instead of typing out a huge lore post i decided to illustrate it in meme format

y'know how impressionable young children are and how they try to emulate their parents? well,

"reisz" never had parents.

waking up with a clean slate of a brain meant they had to go through the veeeery first steps of the process of trying to formulate the conception of a self– the kinda stuff that people go through in their earliest years, which is essentially. monkey see monkey do. in that sense they were A Sponge

the Armoured Veteran was the first actual living being they looked up to and that set the tone of the ball rolling. now everytime they meet an apex predator the reiszbrain goes "hmmmmmmm how can i Learn and Improve from this.?"

they're choosing some. um. superb role models as we all can see.

and while not quite the same, this happened too:

reisz quirks got Arguably Worse after the marriage bc i began grinding society favours, but in-universe its like. come on. look at this scorpion in slipper behaviour.

this is Exactly what eddie did to the FLPC and this accidental emulation is so funny to me. their magnanimous went from 10 to 1 and it still hasnt recovered. gg ghostie.

   "Some days," David grumbles, fingers rubbing at his temples. His brow scrunches, features pained as if he is fighting off a massive headache. "It's real fuckin' hard to resist reminding all of you that, in a very real sense, you continue to exist due to my mercy."

wanted to draw fanart for @remxedmoon's isatscryption au but i realised i didn't actually know the plot yet which. whoops! so i settled for chucking my oc at it

Muse⇥ Louis Piquet, 21-28, He/Him, Bisexual, Underground Fighter/Dealer. Connection ⇥ Boyfriend Plot ⇥ The two are finally reuniting after a two week separation due to work. Open To ⇥ @musicallyiinclined

He was home a few days earlier than expected which meant it would be the perfect surprise. He had known that Tanner had a game tonight so instead of telling his boyfriend that he was back he had instead opted into showing him. Thanks to Miles who had secured him a ticket so that Tanner wouldn't know he was able to watch the man completely dominate out on the ice. He also got to see his eyes light up the moment their eyes locked, the blonde needing to do a double take. The moment the game was over, Tanner's team winning of course, Louis was pushing open the door to the rink with a grin on his face. "Haywood, the only MVP in my book."

i do think s1 fwhip has a crazy ridiculous dramatic four-poster bed with like blackout curtains and high-quality red and black bedding in the castle . i just simultaneously think that despite this he ends up crashing on the shitty little bed in his storage room more often than not

[dead-or-lie]

“Hey you! There you are! I’ve been looking everywhere for you!! Know that?”

He runs over as fast as his legs can take it. He immediately smiles though there is a glint of mischief in his eyes. “I got something super important to tell you!”

STARTER CALL. I appreciate anyone that has read and/or come to check on me after I posted my worries. It's your support what keeps me going! Not sure what will happen to my current drafts sadly, I'm still feeling pretty 'eh' on them. Now I owe Meep a starter tho', so like this post while its still hot! Need me some new stuff! Multimuses remember to pick a muse and all that jazz.

muse : trinity santos verse : this

"look, i get it, but the lido was the best i've got stop squirming." between people not wanting to show their faces, which she understood completely, and the fact that it wasn't exactly easy to treat a gunshot wound without the tools they had in the ed she was making to with what she could here. she just needed them to work with her. she leaned in close to them, gloved hands holding the forceps she was using to pick fragments out of their skin. "there's whiskey in the bag if you want it."

Mr. Jing in the night.

When he walks up to the stage, a sudden expectant silence follows. Jing Yuan is dressed pretty well— with a black sleeveless turtleneck that displays his biceps and forearms, cropped just under his chest to allow a good view of his abdominal muscles. He wears pants, too. Red ones that hug his thighs perfectly, the leather of it displaying the curves at each flex of muscle. And he knows he’s going to give a show, knows he’ll be the center of these people’s eyes. It only makes him more mischievous.

The pole is a friend, one that he knows well. Jing Yuan greets the pole first by spinning around it, then turns towards his audience with a sheepish grin— and grips the bar with both hands before launching his body up, hooking a leg around the pole as his muscles flex to hold his weight. He’s upside down, giving a spin, until his hands leave the pole as well and all holding him two meters above the ground are the muscles of his thighs. The clothes, although covering well, can’t hide how strong his legs are. Jing Yuan rolls his hips to the rhythm of the music, then trade his position to stand upright, both feet on the ground once more. As the music becomes more energetic, he climbs the pole again, this time holding himself with both arms and letting his legs dangle a little. Every movement is slow, even though the music is beginning to go too fast. Until he hooks another leg around the pole, bending his waist backwards to the middle, following the rhythm of the music with his arms and neck instead.

After a show of pure strength, the man hoops off the center of the platform to mingle with the customers. He dances while walking, coming up to y/m/n with a grin that is both devious and innocent at the same time. Naughty. Yuan climbs on y/m/n’s lap, bringing one hand to their neck while the other traces their lips. He tightens his grip on their neck slightly, and licks his own lips, clearly full of ill thoughts. All the while, his hips keep rolling to the rhythm of the music, never actually leaning all of his weight over the customer. He links their hands eventually, allowing touch. Once both hands are on his abdomen, Yuan raises his arms to motion accordingly to the music once more, flexing his muscles to let the customer feel just how hard he works out.

Once the exploration is over, he winks to y/m/n, smirk on his pretty lips. And then he’s gone, sliding his body one last time against his customer’s before he’s climbing back to the pole. Yuan holds it with both hands above his head, skin glistening with sweat and glitter as he keeps dancing, turning and tossing his own body to give all kinds of views. By the end of it he’s breathless, cheeks pinkish, but his mischievous smile doesn’t die. He knows very well what he’s looking like and isn’t apologetic at all. "Interested in a VIP session? Just ask for it at the entrance."

[ OPEN STARTER || THE BURNING BLADE ]

Flames billowed up out of the Burning Blade's maw like oil had been poured directly onto its source. Thick black smoke poured up over her bow, and seawater boiled as it lapped against her. She was anchored, sails furled, and for the most part not currently in use. Despite this, her core was blazing like it was worked up over something.

She was already an odd vessel, but at times she appeared to have a mind of her own. Her front-facing flamethrower was pointed inwards towards the shore where she was docked, so it would be wise to make sure it wasn't about to misfire..

Kyckgxfjtj I have so little people to share my head canons with- I probably already shoved you in here but I’m shoving you again into my lil friends folder mentally >:))))

I don’t have too many tbh but here they are:

1 isa and aqua are siblings (we all know Eraqus just picked up aqua from the side of the road- she has to have some sort of family and we know KH characters have world hopped without being keyblade wielders like smol kairi from RG to DI)

2 Sora- has to have more tanned skinned- bby grew up on a ISLAND- he LOVES the outside- Riku however looks like the light scares his ass- so I understand him being white as fuck

3 Isa had a horrid home life which is why he was in on the whole plan to get subject x out- to get away from his home as much as possible (which ofc he just ended up in a horrible situation with the org and shit)

4 Neptune (KH ml- I’m in a KH discord server just for news on this damn game which there is none) is Iras son and if not then part of his bloodline- KH ml takes place in the time Brain traveled too via the pod which means that there is some people from that era that could exist- isa aqua and ienzo (ik hes a orphan but his parents could still have been apart of the bloodline) are also from this line- this is mainly going off their hair but could also be why isa and ienzo were targeted In becoming nobodies as they have family in their line that have had/have a keyblade

5 I told you this but DR xehanort made candy- especially lollipops-

6 this one ik would never technically be true- but considering YX is the xehanort from DR- Eraqus and xehanort could’ve adopted Terra and sent him to older Eraqus in the land of departure

7 aqua can go in and out of her anti form like Sora can

8 Vanitas contains Ventus’ memory of KH ux

That’s all tbh- lot more than I expected but oh well- god I need the power to come back on so I can bully old man xehanort in KH mom via the boss battle stage cus the field is nightmare inducing

omg what a collection of hcs .... very epic ....
