Ren's favourite letter is P!

Okay Ren question, sorry if someone else has asked this before but as far as I know of.. no(?) If so feel free to ignore!

I know you've said numerous times that Ren doesn't really have any interests or cares towards anything or anyone that isn't Angel... but what if his Angel has high purity and encourages him to have a personality outside of them?

Like they let him have interests, opinions, be their own person outside of Angel- would he actually do it? Or would he just act "normal"?

Thank you Sai!! <3

⌞♥⌝ Even with high Purity (or in this case, low Decay), Ren will still be a yandere who caters towards Angel's interests; he'll just be a lot less obvious with it. The Purity meter only affects how Ren perceives Angel's treatment towards him (i.e. being nice to him out of genuine kindness rather than some hidden manipulation tactic). Higher Purity means Ren will perceive Angel's actions as something done out of love rather than something decrepit or immoral.

The Decay meter, however, tracks Angel's overall influence over Ren. Higher Decay means Ren will start acting more violent and "morbid", whereas low decay will keep him "normal". The higher the Decay meter, the more grotesque things Ren will suggest doing in Angel's presence (since Angel is showing clear signs of being into it).

This got a bit long, so more information will be under the cut!!

Regardless, canonically or otherwise, I don't think it's possible to let Ren have his own agency or interests separate from Angel. At the end of the day, he's an obsessive yandere who thinks that becoming someone's ideal type will make them love him. If he were to become more "independent" (with his own personality and interests), he'd feel as though he's drifting away from Angel and no longer hold their interest. Like... If he's not into the same things as Angel or presenting himself in a certain way, then he's wasting time, resources, and effort on something that won't give him any payoff. He also has no interest in anything that doesn't involve Angel in the first place ^^;

Ren can definitely feign having his own separate interests and personality — however, it'd all be fake, superficial, and closely (maybe even conveniently) related to any of Angel's interests. For example, if Angel likes novels and anime, Ren will pretend he's into manga. If Angel has a liking for eating healthy food, Ren will feign interest in cooking shows and chef cookbooks.

The only time I can see Ren having his own personality is his untraumatised/yanderen't version.

[winniebee]

the headcanon that tommy has some strands of white hair from the revival is v good, but i love it especially when it’s paired with the “post-prison dream with white hair because of the constant death and revival experiments.” because can you imagine being tommy, looking in the mirror every day and seeing the strands of permanently white hair from an experience just as permanently scarring, and then asking the man who gave you those scars to let you see his face. he does. and his once golden hair is now completely, horrifyingly white.

Okay, stupid silly idea I had that I feel like sharing now for whatever reason

So this is TF One universe, and sometime after Megatron joins, he ends up having a surprise sparkling no one knew about until then. The High Guard at first want to know who the sire is (mostly because they assume it’s someone here and want to cast judgement), but Megatron confirms that it wasn’t any of them, and it was instead someone back from his Iacon days, though he’s weird and vague about it so all that’s really given is the implied confirmation, and no actual answer as to the sire. But given what little they know of his past (because he’s super cagey about it), as well as some of the sparkling’s colors, they generally come to the conclusion from his response that it has to be Orion Pax/Optimus Prime

But the thing is, in this scenario, D-16 and Orion Pax really were just good platonic friends, and D-16 at least was seeing someone else. Orion is 100% not the sire. But because of the general lack of information the High Guard are working with, they’ve just assumed the two were romantic, even though Megatron has never outright said as much, and this new sparkling just furthers that idea in their heads. But like, it is in fact someone else

And because of Megatron’s caginess, as well as no one directly bringing up this assumption to him, this misconception goes uncorrected for a comically long time. Possibly to the point where the truth only gets out because the High Guard say to Optimus at some point that he’s the sire to Megatron’s sparkling, to both Optimus and Megatron’s incredible confusion

But however the truth comes out, I imagine it to be pretty funny

I’m gonna be honest I didn’t realize the new 52 messed with Kon that much till I read your post and now I can’t get over the potential. I’m a Tim/Kon girly at heart so I would devour anything you write exploring the 52 vs typical Kon. Also Time being in a clone sandwich is 👌.

the new-52 messed Kon up SO bad it's ridiculous. like, to the point i would personally argue he's a completely unrelated character to pre-Flashpoint/Rebirth Kon. his personality, his suit, his origin, all different. the only real similarities are the name and powerset. and even New-52!Kon's powers are slightly different from pre-Flashpoint!Kon. New-52!Kon is a clone of a future version of Jon Lane Kent, cloned by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. to provide genetic material to Jon Lane Kent, whose body was not handling being half human/half Kryptonian well, it was a whole thing. New-52!Kon is also where we get the infamous "Kon-El means 'abomination of the house of El' and Kara basically named him a slur in Kryptonian culture" tidbit, because that is the only time that's canon. (originally Kon-El was a name gifted by Clark to accept Kon as his family way back in the 90s) he also never went by Conner Kent. New-52!Kon just straight up didn't have any real human identity or connections, outside of being very close to Tim and some Titans.

the very TLDR of Kon's history is: during post-Crisis/pre-Flashpoint, a clone called Superboy is created by CADMUS. at first, he's considered to be a clone of a dude named Paul Westfield and is not Kryptonian whatsoever, he was simply made to look like Superman and only has Tactile Telekinesis as a power. then, it was made canon that actually he was a clone of Lex Luthor and Clark Kent, but Lex hid this fact and slowly, Kon developed more Kryptonian powers. he's given the name Kon-El by Clark, and is taken in by the Kents, getting the name Conner Kent. then Flashpoint happens, we get the New-52, and we're given the above version of Kon-El, who is a clone of Jon Lane Kent, created by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. who has mostly very strong telekinesis powers and some Kryptonian powers. he's with the Titans for a bit, then at the end of the New-52, he kills some aliens and feels bad about it so he decides to fuck off and is never seen again, it's presumed he's dead but never confirmed. then Rebirth happens and DC makes Jon Kent the current Superboy, we get Supersons and all that, and it's assumed that no version of Kon-El exists. just at all. he's not around whatsoever, Jon is our only Superboy. *but* in 2019, we get a new Young Justice run and the pre-Flashpoint Kon-El is back, and we're given the explanation of: Kon got accidentally teleported to this alternate realm called Gemworld and then Flashpoint happened, and since that was a Crisis Event that changed the timeline, the poor lad got *erased* from the timeline, causing most people to *not fucking remember him* and for him to remember a timeline that no longer exists. some of the Young Justice team vaguely remember him, Ma and Pa Kent remember him, but notably, Clark *does not remember him*. it's not an issue of "Clark ignored Kon in favor of Jon" it's an issue of "Kon was erased from the timeline and didn't exist for years bc he was stuck in Gemworld and Clark just doesn't remember Kon or Kon's timeline" which to me, is far more tragic but i digress. since then, Kon has been back and is present in most significant Superfamily runs, with his own recent mini-series, Superboy: Man of Tomorrow. (which was very good btw)

so basically: the New-52 fucked Kon up so bad they wrote him out of comics for years and then brought back the pre-Flashpoint version, but never *explicitly* killed the New-52 version off. so hypothetically, it's possible that there are currently two characters existing in the DC universe named Kon-El who have been Superboy. and like i said above, one of New-52!Kon's only real significant relationships was with Tim, it was the only thing the New-52 managed to get right about Superboy, his closeness to Tim. they have a *lot* of moments that read incredibly queer. and ofc, it's just outright confirmed in Dark Crisis: Young Justice that Tim had a crush on pre-Flashpoint!Kon at some point. so while comics are intent on pretending New-52!Kon doesn't exist, i am intent on putting Tim in a clone sandwich.

because i do think it's fun to play with Tim having genuine feelings and potentially a relationship with both of them. and the fucked up nature of him not fully *remembering* his relationship with pre-Flashpoint!Kon (which is a canon thing, in YJ(2019) Tim has vague memories of Kon he's struggling to piece together and understand why he cares about this guy he doesn't recognize so much) and how frustrating that is for Tim. he knows he loves Kon, but it's all foggy besides that. and so it's even *more* fucked up if Tim dated New-52!Kon before he got emo and ran off into the unknown. obviously in canon no one has told current Kon about New-52!Kon bc comics are doing the good ol' tried and true of "sweep that shit under the rug" but for fanfic, i think it's fun to ask the question of: would anyone *tell* Kon? especially Tim? who now remembers dating both versions of them? would he admit to Kon that briefly, he had another Kon? how would Tim cope with that and move on? personality wise, they could not be more different. they dress and act and look different. they're not the same person, but there's certainly a questionable factor of Tim's dating history including two Kon-Els.

the idea i've had for a while is Tim slowly starting to date pre-Flashpoint!Kon again. it feels familiar and like home. and Tim has grieved and accepted that wherever New-52!Kon is, he doesn't want to come home, he didn't love TIm enough to stay and try. so Tim takes the Kon he has, and genuinely has a happy relationship. like for once, life is good and things almost make sense for Tim. but then, of course, New-52!Kon comes back. he decides he wants to try again and he finds Tim. only to find well. he's been replaced. and technically, he's been replaced with the *original* that he didn't even know *existed*. and if being a clone is bad enough, that just makes it a hundred times worse. because imagine knowing you're actually the second Kon-El your boyfriend who you never *technically* broke up with fell in love with. that's gotta give you some kind of complex.

so i think it's fun if both Kons try to step back and let the other Kon date Tim. both of them have reasons to feel like the "replacement" or "fake" Kon, and it makes them incredibly awkward with each other. do they count as the same person? bc they definitely don't *feel* like the same person to each other, but with weird timeline stuff, who can really say. them settling on an awkward throuple that's really meant to be Tim just dating them both but somehow they end up dating each other too is so fun for me. they both feel like imposters to the Superboy name but are so deeply in love with Tim Drake, it's the one thing truly connecting them. and then of course, Tim feels bad in that somehow, he's betraying both of them for having feelings for the other. but they make it work, with a lot of awkward angst and miscommunication. i just think it'd be fun. very difficult to write to get all the weird timeline nuances down in a way that's understandable in a fanfic (bc you can't just. infodump like i did on this post) but doable. also difficult to tag, because even though i argue these are two different characters, i'm pretty sure Ao3 groups them under the same character tag. so it'd be difficult to convey it's not *really* as selfcest-y as it would imply. comics, man. DC will never acknowledge New-52!Kon again, and he's admittedly a terrible adaptation of Kon-El, but. i think he was sort of neat in his own right and i'd *love* for DC to just inexplicably bring him back and make the current Kon deal with the consequences of all that. and them make Tim kiss them both. obviously.

Ok so I mention my fantasy au for ddlc a couple times but I’ve been busy for months because of life stuff and also more brain rot for different stuff. So like. I haven’t gotten to it for months. Oops

Anyways I’ll just put the basic lore I have here because I do have a lot of ideas for this au and I am shaking the bars for my enclosure cus I really wanna talk about it

This is basically if ddlc and its concepts were put into a stereotypical rpg instead of dating sim and the club is now a cool rpg party who spend the hypothetical game encountering and bonding with each other like in the side stories. The plot would be simple and about finding the cure for a fantasy plague/curse that has been slowly ravaging the land (spooky glitch effects) only for it to slowly unravel into the wider lore and how it connects to base game ddlc

Monika is a main character and the paladin leader. Orphan from the capital turned famous knight who had become disillusioned and abandoned her high status to become a wandering mercenary to help the people in the curse. She eventually finds her own patron god, You! It’s like Oneshot where you are the narrator observing and guiding Monika, except she doesn’t actually know who you are or that she’s in a game so you have to hide it while also making sure she doesn’t repeat the sins of the past and stuff. She slowly learns to open up and trust her new companions and love her life to the fullest without worrying about perfection or success and stuff. Maybe she doesn’t need to be the legend or the perfect hero. Maybe she can just be with her new family. Maybe she could just let herself belong (the sure hope her arc lasts and isn’t ripped away by her own hands haha)(she gets better)

Sayori is the simple first best friend/second in command/heart of the group. She’s just the happy go lucky bard without that deeper tragic backstory the rest of the cast has. The daughter of a fisherman in a small starting town, Monika first encounters her after defending the town from a monster. Sayori and the town throw a celebration as thanks, letting Monika learn to loosen up and be open. On the flip side Sayori seems to have no relevant plot, only to suddenly reveal her own doubts later in the story. Having always felt useless and aimless, whether in her hometown where she had no place or job or with the party as she had no apparent use, she starts to feel insecure about her place in the group over time. There’s probably be the classic ‘heart of the group get incapacitated and everyone realizes how essential they are as the rest fall apart’ plot beat, and Sayori’s gets to learn just how important she is.

Yuri is the local smart guy wizard of the team, part of some mysterious wizards coven when the party first encounters her. Monika and Sayori are looking for info on the curse’s origins and the coven assigns Yuri to help temporarily guide them through a dungeon. On the way Yuri gets to learn what actual companionship looks like as people who are connected not only through a common goal or interest, but people who genuinely care for her. The coven didn’t really interact or care about her well being, and she was too disconnected from the outside world to learn enough about her field of study, so she decides to leave the coven to travel the world with Monika and Sayori. Over time they also learn about her backstory (because every mysterious rpg character needs a tragic backstory) about her being the daughter of a faraway kingdom’s royal family. Having been born with destructive magic powers, her family had tried everything to suppress it , without regards for their own daughter. They eventually gave up and sent her to the coven for life, basically disowning her. There could probably be a plot point where the party has to meet up with her parents for politics reasons and there could be some heavy drama where Yuri gets to admit that she’s finally found people who accept and understand who she is and how to help her. Yay

Natsuki is that one edgy rogue who starts out as an enemy to the party. Runaway turned thief turned mercenary, she’s doing whatever it takes to survive out in this world. The party finds her as part of some rival mercenary band being hired by some random kingdom they encounter. The kingdom assigns the two groups on the same mission, but Natsuki’s teammates are assholes and push all the work onto Natsuki and the main party (they’re supposed be parallel her other friends). The four of them have to work together and start out antagonistic, but they slowly realize how messed up the situation with Natsuki is and how she really deserves better (for a lot of reasons). Natsuki meanwhile is experiencing an actual feeling of belonging and concern from others and is very conflicted, so when the rival mercenary’s decide to betray the main party and take the credit, she stands up for them and fights back, officially completing the party. She eventually learns to open up and trust people for the first time ever, having a place to call home and people she can feel safe with. She’d also have a ‘confront your past’ moment where they have to travel through her hometown that she ran away from. She feels terrified having to come back and potentially face her past, but not only is the town in way better shape her father had already died years after she left. While it seems like her whole backstory is unresolved, she comes to the conclusion on her own that she doesn’t need to be stuck in the past and no amount of confronting her father would change anything. Because she’d already found a family that loves her without him, and she’s promises she won’t end up like him.

And so the classic rpg party is formed and have their work cut out for them as they attempt to find the origins of the curse and eventually stop it. But it’s slowly revealed that the curse runs deeper in the origins of their world than they’ve thought possible. They can only either succumb to the darkness or deny reality itself to survive their fate. Who knows if they could face the reality of their world and still choose to save it. This world exists to give them a better ending. With all they’ve seen, could that still be possible?

There’s other stuff like more detailed backstory since I kinda skimmed over everything, certain plot points, and overall meta lore and how it connects to base game but that’s the rundown so far

Since it’s funny and technically correct I’m gonna call this the Doki Doki Isekai au

my toxic trait is that i remember each one of the f1 content creators on every social media platform who badmouthed franco literally before his first race and now fell in love with him. one thing about me is that i don't forgive nor forget. yes i am a resentful bitch when it comes to my favourite little guys

Angel: Vaggie, you’re an ex-exorcist, right? So you have a lot of experience with different ways of dying?

Vaggie: Yes.

Husk: *sips drink* I'm scared to see where this is going.

Angel: So, in your professional opinion, how will I die?

Vaggie: Definitely murder. We never find the body.

Angel: …That tracks.

Charlie: Oh! Oh! Oh! What about me?

Vaggie: You crave toast while taking a bath.

Charlie: *under her breath* I do love bath snacks...

i think humphrey's secret guilty pleasure is gilbert and sullivan operas. because g&s clashes with the image of opera as something intentionally inaccessible and i think he dislikes the prioritization of comedy over emotional or artistic depth. but i think he appreciates the wordplay and the political satire and he can never let any of his opera buddies know that

ANAKIN YOU ARE SO STUPID. YOU ARE THE STUPIDEST MAN ALIVE. WHY WOULD YOU NOT SAY I WOYLDNT HAVE TO TRY. LITERALLY WHO CARES IF VOS KNOWS AS FAR AS YOU’RE AWARE OBI-WAN IS DYING IT DOESN’T MATTER GODDDDD ANAKIN IS THE DUMBEST MOTHERFUCKER ALIVE

(spoilers for chapter four of weeding out our wildfires or whatever I called it)

So much would have solved if he’d just said “I wouldn’t have to try” or literally anything else that wouldn’t have made Quinlan vos so angry as to stop the conversation all together my poor silly son

it’s just that he has lived sooo long with this secret that he has never told anyone !! How can he tell his master’s friend at the drop of a hat? He’s swallowed the confession for years - that can’t just be so suddenly changed when to him there’s no good reason to tell vos—not just for the sake of a silly lil early morning hypothetical!!
