I haven't looked at any other game info at all bc I want experiences to be unspoiled, but the curiosity of the radio shoutout got the better of me (which I think is easily missable anyway? that's how I'm justifying myself), and it made me notice, the way evrart is described in the narration vs kim lol. oh harry's like, Into Him into him.

JSAB Annihilation John Doe x Blue!You
HEADCANONS TIMES!!
Tumblr media
I LOVE THIS SKIN
im gonna headcanons bc i can , AND I WILL YIPPPPPPPEEE
ANYWAYS
TITLE : color conflict
Tumblr media
Platonic Headcanons
He doesn’t understand why you’re so calm around him. You’re blue. He’s pink. That should mean conflict.
Despite being naturally destructive and chaotic, he feels weirdly… curious about you.
You once poked one of the floating corruption shards around his arm. He didn’t get mad. He just stared.
He starts following you around more often, even during rounds where he’s not supposed to. He says it’s to corrupt you when you don't expect it ,It’s not.
Occasionally leaves trails of tiny pink beats near your usual spawn spot. It’s like a dog leaving toys lol
First Meeting Headcanons
He cornered you in a corner of the map, fully expecting you to panic and run like the rest. Instead, you smiled at him. He got confused.
You touched his arm and asked, “What are you?” and he actually didn’t know how to respond.
When he attacked you, you dodged in a way that was almost playful. He decided right then he needed to know everything about you.
You got away that time but he replayed the encounter in his mind constantly.
He started calling you “Blue bug” after that. It was supposed to be an insult. It wasn't. (unless you think it is-)
Getting Along Headcanons
You weren’t scared of his jumps or how his cape fluttered in impossible directions. You laughed when he chased you.
He started teasing you mid-round by flicking pink triangles at your feet like hopscotch. You dodged and giggled every time.
He talks a lot when it’s just the two of you. Rambling about beat patterns like you’d understand. You don’t. But you nod anyway.
You once gave him a blue triangle. He stared at it for a solid minute before looking around to see if anyone noticed before sticking it in a pocket. It stayed there for two full rounds.
You bite his arm once as a joke. He didn't react then five minutes later, he did the same to your sleeve. Payback, apparently.
ouch your poor sleeve thought , completly destroyed
Realizing He Has Feelings Headcanons
You dodged a corrupted spike during a round and laughed. Something in his chest twitched.
He realized he couldn’t bring himself to properly kill you. The most he ever did was gently knock you down and apologize afterward.
His crown glitched into a little blue hue for a second. He denied it furiously.
He tried “corrupting” you once just to see what would happen when his hand touched your face. Your cheeks turned pink. His did too. He shut down for a whole second.
Every time you got close, he started generating those little music pulses. Like his body was reacting to you involuntarily.
How He Confesses Headcanons
He cornered you one round and didn’t say anything. Just stared. Then slowly handed you a floating triangle perfectly pink.
“I don’t understand this. You. Me. Any of it.” He looked away, vivid pink coloring his black face. “But i'll be happy if you could stay close to me.”
His corrupted eye glowed brighter as pink glitch particles danced in the air.
“You’re the only Blue person i tolerate.”
He didn’t say love. He said, “You’re my favorite kind of blue.” You understood what he meant.
Romantic Headcanons
Whenever you kiss him, one of his cheeks turns slightly blue. He tries to hide it under his cape. It never works.
He lets you rest your head on his torso though it feels like lying on a synth pad. It hums gently when you’re close.
Loves watching your hands. Especially if they’re fiddling with something. He reaches out to touch your fingers whenever he thinks you won’t notice.
actually loves watching how when your hands are together , yours turn pink and his turn blue
Gives you gifts. Like crystals that are his colors, shapes he had mold into hearts, or pink-coded accessories. You always take them.
Every time you laugh, he stares just a little more around the edges softly, not destructively. Like your presence scrambles him in a way that feels… safe.
Calls you names , both silly and cute , "My forget me not" , "Pretty Blue" , mostly things related to blue things
he never thought he would fall for a blue person , but he couldn't complain
Tumblr media
HEHEH I HOPE YOU ENJOY!!
i really love jsab <33 , AND SO THIS SKIN AND THE THEME

[❤️‍🩹] ,, rg!vi moodboard + headcanons!
Tumblr media
this moodboard took me ,, SO stupid long to make & then when i went to save it the FILE CORRUPTED ヽ(≧□≦)ノ luckily all i had to do was go back & save it again but i seriously thought i was gna have to do the entire thing over X-/ regardless i luv how it turned out hehe !!
Tumblr media
[💥] ✶ age ranges from super super ityy bitty (infant ages – a year or so) to curious big kid (5 – 8) ; however, she's only ever really little if it's just her & caitlyn as she's the one she feels safest with. if there's another regressor around—like jayce, jinx, or caitlyn if she needs to indulge in her headspace—vi finds herself adopting the big sibby role! she's a big sister at her core & she still adores looking after others, but sometimes she just . . . needs to be looked after, too
[💥] ✶ babysitter jinx who encourages vi's energy to the highest degree & puts mischievous ideas in her mind (nothing dangerous, of course !! silly little pranks n stuff hehe) but is the absolute sweetest when vi is teeny tiny. in the event vi is regressed super super little when jinx is also small, she becomes The Most protective over her baby sister ever
[💥] ✶ playdates w her & jayce always end in two sweaty little ones without fail bc they turn everything into a challenge (“betcha i can climb this tree faster than you!” — “nuh-uh!! i can!!!”) & will run themselves down to the bone by playing elaborate games of pretend
[💥] ✶ weepy lil thing :(( holding in her big feelings for so long when she's big results in lotsa tears when she's small, even if it's over things that aren't a big deal (like snapping a crayon or a stuffie bein put into the wash). usually snuggles from mama cait makes everything alll better tho !!
[💥] ✶ clifford the big red dog & spiderman r some of her favorite favorite things ever !! the very moment she hears the opening theme for clifford, there is nothing more important than gettin in front of the tv (it's one of those tv shows that make her RUSH off the potty the moment the commercial break is over). the only type of bandaids she will accept after pretending to be a silly web-slinging hero are spiderman ones, so cait keeps a ton on deck!
[💥] ✶ also feel like she'd enjoy coyote peterson / brave wilderness too ?? when she's xtra little she watches the general exploration videos, steering clear of the biting / stinging / overall more violent ones cus it upsets her . . . but when she's bigger, oooo she gets soso hype when there's a new bug coyote finds or a snapping turtle he goes head to head with !! lotsa “woaaahh mama did’ja see that??? did’ja, did’ja???? itsa exe– execush’ner wasp ‘nd it– it stinged him!!! lookit, mama, lookit!!!!” & excited bouncing. cait is a big catalyst to this (even tho she does not like bugs) & will egg her on which just gets her more excited !! \(≧▽≦)/
[💥] ✶ active but extremely messy kiddo. she jumps in muddy puddles without a care of how soaked her socks will get later ; she makes potions out of grass, sticks, and rocks & shows them to caitlyn with grass stains on her pants ; she climbs trees to sneak up on birds & comes back down with leaf bits all in her hair . . . many, many baths are in her schedule. when she's a bit too little to do all of this, she'll sit near cait with all of her toys scattered around her, constantly bouncing from one to the other to keep her brain stimulated
[💥] ✶ bath time involves either lots of splish-splashin with her sharkie bath toys or dozin in the water till her fingers get all wrinkly. vi has a big appreciation for baths after her time in stillwater as it felt impossible to ever feel fully clean, so after big adventures in the backyard that end with mud splatters on her cheeks and dirt smeared on the palms of her hands, she & cait take extra care in makin sure all the nasties are all gone (*´˘`*)♡
[💥] ✶ loves those temporary tattoo kits ; to her, those are stickers she can stick on anyone that comes near >:-] caitlyn & jinx are her main subjects ; by the end of the day they will all have matching tattoos
[💥] ✶ very very clingy, especially after the war & officially losing most of everyone she has ever loved. while she gets more pouty & huffy when she's older, when she's itty bitty she gets sooo weepy cus her object permanence is just gone. there's a part of vi that's ashamed of how dependant she is on cait—after all, she's very used to taking care of others & taking care of herself, so such a drastic change in lifestyle can be jarring—but with cait, she can work through it ♡
[💥] ✶ being active one minute then having weepy feelings the next, vi takes a lotta naps! she Does Not like being told to take a nap, specially when she's claiming “big girl”–ness (“’m not sleepy!” she'll whine whilst rubbing an eye with a fist . . . yes you are, sweetness. yes you are), but she can forgive cait's insistence if she promises to lay down with her & rawrvioli the dino

Hazbin Hotel x Child Reader Series
Tumblr media
PART 17 - THE GREAT DUCK HEIST PART 1
ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT NINE TEN ELEVEN TWELVE THIRTEEN FOURTEEN FIFTEEN SIXTEEN EIGHTEEN NINETEEN TWENTY TWENTY-ONE TWENTY-TWO TWENTY-THREE TWENTY-FOUR TWENTY-FIVE TWENTY-SIX TWENTY-SEVEN TWENTY-EIGHT TWENTY-NINE THIRTY THIRTY-ONE
It had only been a few days, and already the duck phone had taken over the kid’s life. Alastor hated it. They were constantly staring at the screen, watching duck videos on loop, taking pictures of random things, and worst of all? They had started ignoring Alastor’s stories.
That was the final straw. And the worst part? Angel Dust was actively encouraging it.
‘Yeah, kid, that’s it! Get real deep into that screen life! You gotta take selfies with the perfect lighting—here, lemme show ya!’
‘Angel, you’re corrupting them,’ Charlie groaned, watching the two pose dramatically for the duck phone’s high-definition camera.
‘Nah, babe, I’m educating them,’ Angel winked.
Alastor gritted his teeth, ‘This has to stop. That foul—and I do mean that in every sense of the word—piece of technology is undoubtedly being used by Vox to spy on the hotel!’
Charlie sighed, ‘Al, I think you might be paranoid—’
Vaggie cut in, ‘No, he’s probably right. I wouldn’t put it past Vox to bug that thing.’
Charlie groaned again, ‘Okay, fine, but we can’t just take it away without the kid freaking out!’
Alastor’s grin widened, ‘Oh, my dear Charlotte, that’s where you’re wrong! We simply have to be creative about it.’
Charlie immediately regretted this conversation.
Phase One: The Distraction
Vaggie, begrudgingly agreeing to help, casually approached the kid, ‘Hey, uh… you wanna learn more self-defense moves?’
The kid looked up from their duck phone, eyes lighting up, ‘Oh! Yeah! Can I learn the one where I kick someone really hard?’
Vaggie smirked, ‘Oh, absolutely.’
And just like that, the kid put down the duck phone and ran off with Vaggie to practice some questionable combat moves. Target temporarily abandoned.
Phase Two: The Extraction
Alastor and Charlie immediately moved in. Alastor grabbed the duck phone off the table and squinted at it suspiciously.
‘Hmm… What do you think, Charlotte? Should I simply crush it under my heel? Ooooor perhaps throw it into an interdimensional void?’
Charlie snatched it away, ‘NO! We can’t just destroy it, Al! That would just make them upset!’
Alastor pouted, ‘A shame. I was looking forward to watching it die.’
Charlie rubbed her temples, ‘Look, let’s just hide it somewhere and tell them it got lost. After a few days, they’ll forget about it.’
Alastor wasn’t convinced, but before they could argue, Angel Dust appeared.
Phase Three: The Interception
‘AYYY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOIN’?’
Charlie and Alastor froze.
Angel gasped dramatically, pointing at the duck phone in Charlie’s hands, ‘OH MY FUCKIN’ GOD—YOU’RE STEALIN’ THE KID’S PHONE!’
Charlie panicked, ‘Shhh!! Angel, shut up!’
Alastor hissed, ‘You buffoon! Do you want to ruin everything?’
Angel snatched the phone out of Charlie’s hands and held it protectively, ‘Nuh-uh! I ain’t lettin’ you two ruin the kid’s fun!’
Charlie groaned, ‘Angel, you don’t get it—Vox could be spying on us.’
Angel snorted, ‘Pfft, who cares? If Vox wants to watch me look fabulous, that’s his own damn problem.’
Alastor’s eye twitched violently, but before the argument could escalate, a very small voice spoke up from behind them.
‘Wait… what’s going on?’
The group froze and slowly turned. The kid was standing there, looking at them suspiciously.
Phase Four: The Cover Up
Alastor immediately put on his biggest, most innocent smile, ‘Ahh! Nothing at all, dear! Just making sure your little device is safe!’
Charlie nodded aggressively, ‘Yep! We were just… uh… CLEANING IT! Making sure it’s all nice and polished.’
The kid narrowed their eyes, ‘…Are you guys trying to steal my duck phone?’
Angel pointed dramatically at Charlie and Alastor, ‘YES! YES, THEY ARE!’
Charlie smacked him.
Alastor grumbled, rubbing his temple, ‘Listen, darling, this horrible little machine is likely being used by Vox to spy on us! Surely you wouldn’t want that, would you?’
The kid paused, ‘…Oh.’
Alastor perked up, ‘Yes! You see! It’s for your own safety!’
The kid took a deep breath…And then let out the loudest, most obnoxious quack from their phone.
QUAAAAAAAAACK.
The sound echoed through the entire hotel. Charlie’s soul left her body. Alastor visibly cringed. Angel was wheezing with laughter.
The kid held their duck phone close, eyes narrowed in suspicion, ‘You guys are not taking my duck phone.’
Then they ran off with it.
Alastor groaned dramatically, falling back into a chair, ‘CURSE YOU, TECHNOLOGY!’
Charlie sighed, slumping against the wall.
Angel smirked, ‘Looks like the kid ain’t buyin’ your boomer agenda.’
Alastor glared at him, ‘Mark my words, Angel Dust—I will have my revenge.’
Angel just quacked at him with the phone and walked off.
Alastor visibly twitched. This was far from over.

here's some Hypno's Lullaby / Pokepasta characters in my style
some of my headcanons below!
Steven: 24 years old; 190 cm / 6'3''
- Haunted by a hallucination of his dead brother that constantly reminds him of his misdeeds
- Fluctuates between a completely corrupted state (shadowed skin + red eyes) due to MissingNo.'s influence and a semi-conscious state (shadowed eyes) in which he sometimes gets lucid enough to question what happened that day
Glitchy RED: 26 years old; 182 cm / 6'0''
- Face always half hidden by shadows
- Despises people abusing glitches or bugs and thus despises Steven
- Always looks serious
Grey: 16 years old; 167 cm / 5'6''
- Constantly nervous
- Somewhat scared of (Glitchy) Red but also looks up to him since he's from "the original game"
Shinto:
- Mischievous
- Despises people cheating through any means, including glitches and bugs
- She found out that Grey is actually a real human's soul forced to possess the player character of their game and thus believes his "cheating" to be his human soul simply not adhering to game rules, allowing him to catch her by accident
- Has taken a liking to Grey and will (unbeknownst to him) protect him from people intending to cause harm
- Still scares him sometimes for fun
(Monochrome) Gold: 19 years old; 170 cm / 5'7'' (when alive)
- Is incapable of actually dying, constantly stuck in a state of pain
- Sometimes the Unown within him will take over his body for whatever reason, otherwise they will function like a hive mind allowing him to see through their eyes and float with their help
(- This was caused by Steven, corrupted by the glitch MissingNo. after Gold had found him in the Bellsprout Tower)
(Insomnia) Silver: 20 years old; 175 cm / 5'9''
- Skin covers his mouth keeping him from speaking
- He can cut/rip it open, but it will grow back in around a minute
(- This was caused by Steven, corrupted by the glitch MissingNo. after Silver confronted him seeing what he had done to Gold)
Mike: 4 years older than Steven, (28 years old); 180 cm / 5'11''
- A remorseful spirit incapable of moving on, bound to Steven after his death
- Contrary to the hallucination Steven is seeing, Mike can only be perceived by Gold
- Furthermore he is convinced that the person who killed him wasn't his brother / that something had forced him to do it

Dano Riddler Is Actually A Very Standard Riddler He's Just Wearing A Freaky Mask
I'm gonna ramble here bc I bug the people of twitter way too much with my rants abt Dano Riddler. He is SUCH a good Riddler, he's just Handled very differently to others and I think to the average Riddler fan it's so alien to other interpretations, but he's actually. a VERY STANDARD RIDDLER in terms of his behavior. He's extremely self-centered, arrogant, and petulant. Yes he's suffered genuine trauma, but this absolutely doesn't excuse the fact that he's extremely uncharitable to others, does think himself Above everyone else, and doesn't care who he hurts. Other Riddlers have been abused by their own parents, bullied relentlessly in their youth, etc. and we obviously don't excuse their behavior for that, Dano Riddler is actually VERY CLEVER in painting his crusade as a populist revolution. He's a VERY dangerous Riddler because he recognizes that if he can silently concede some power/spotlight to others, he can gain even more attention and acclaim.
Edward is SO self-centered. He hides behind populist language to rally others to support him BECAUSE LIKE EVERY RIDDLER HE CRAVES ATTENTION AND OUTSIDE VALIDATION. He'll just never admit that. He'll paint this as rallying his troops, speaking for the people, but it's not. It's the exact same reason Riddler does the things he does in every other version - he wants people to SEE him. "Now they'll remember ME - they'll remember BOTH OF US". Your homework is rewatching the "Hey Guys" video but replacing all of his populist verbiage with I, Me, My, etc. instead of We, Us, etc.
"Oh but he puts himself down so often, how can he be arrogant" have you EVER met one of those really obnoxious guys who clearly thinks of himself as some amazing, wonderful dude and he's constantly like "ah I'm just lame, I'm a loser". It's that. His Actual perception of himself is someone who sees past all the "bullshit", and just because he genuinely did uncover corruption of Gotham, this doesn't make him some paragon of truth. He just happened to be in the right field of work to catch the funneling of funds through Renewal.
He also reminds me a LOT of Arkham Riddler the way he blows up on people. When he fusses at Colson for speaking over him, I was getting major Arkham Ed vibes. He stamps his feet and demands the game be played HIS way. Yes most of his breakdowns in the movie and comic are due to his trauma, but I also think a handful of them stem from him just being kind of immature. Specifically the Colson one, and the interrogation scene. I think those two specifically were not breakdowns, they were tantrums because things weren't going his way.
Dano Riddler gets a lot of guff for being a "sympathetically written" Riddler. He really isn't, people just find Paul Dano's performance very fun and he is - as we can all admit bc we are big boys and girls - very cute. But if he were maybe more off-putting, I think it would be clearer that he's actually a VERY standard Riddler, just in very unfamiliar packaging. And I think his evolution over the series is going to reveal more of his mean, bad natured behavior.

ten storylines u think could have been amazing in lo if they had been handled better?
10 already feels like so much for a story like LO buuttt:
1.) the act of wrath plotline, seriously this one felt like it had some of the most lost potential as one of LO's more unique plotlines (and it lost that potential as soon as it was turned into some "oopsy" committed by persephone due to her wrath being a 'gift' from eris when she was a baby??? still bugs me so much ugh) give me back that dichotomy of Persephone and her internalized wrath, dangit.
2.) the Eros and Psyche plotline. it started off so promising as a parallel B-plot to H x P and then seemed to just get dropped halfway through S1 when Psyche got turned into a nymph.
3.) Echo's involvement as a double agent for Zeus. that was clearly the intention when she was introduced but then she was promptly dropped and only showed up again to say "fuck you Zeus" with zero build-up or implication that she had a change of heart. Like imagine if we actually saw her leaking info back to Zeus but then also getting closer to Hera on a personal level and realizing that she didn't want to keep snitching on her. it would have also made the 'big reveal' of Hera kissing Echo a lot more impactful because then they would have had an actual story arc.
4.) Persephone's character development into becoming the Dread Queen. Right now the story wants us to think that Persephone is somehow "better than ever" despite the fact that her version of the "Dread Queen" is being an absolute Karen. But think of how it could have been if her character de-evolution was the point, to show how Hades had corrupted her. Or if they were meant to be actual shitty people and not shitty people that the narrative was trying to convince us were good.
5.) Hades' and Minthe's relationship. It goes without saying that Minthe was wrong to turn to physical violence, but I'll die on the hill that Minthe wasn't being treated fairly by Hades, either. Those three flashback episodes in S2 leading up to Minthe getting turned into a plant were such a missed opportunity to showcase how Minthe became as bitter as she did towards Hades and what their relationship was actually like in the beginning (and why they liked each other in the first place which they very clearly did) but instead it just dragged its heels because obv Rachel didn't want people empathizing with Minthe.
6.) Ares being used as a tool for war by Zeus. It's clear being sent off to these wars is taking its toll on him and it's created a steep divide within the family, especially concerning how protective Ares is of Hera esp when it comes to how Zeus treats her.
7.) The Aphrodite / Hephaestus plotline. Good god I have no idea what the thought process was behind this one, some of the myths she kinda got away with flipping but this was the one that made the least sense to flip. There was so much potential there that was squandered, a lot of it at the expense of Aphrodite and Ares as traditionally powerful and respected gods.
8.) Hades' alcoholism. Minthe was right, simply falling for Persephone and dropping the cigars and brandy to make himself look better for her doesn't make him a changed person. If the alcoholism was linked to his trauma, why didn't we explore that more? Why couldn't we have seen him actually pursue proper recovery and have it not just be "I'm hot for the 19 year old girl but if I'm drinking constantly that'll make me look bad so I'm just gonna put on the best fake persona I can to make her fall in love with me" instead of actually getting to the root of his issues?
9.) The SA plotline. As much as I talk about how shitty it is, I have zero issue with the original depiction of it, I think it was very accurate especially when it comes to coercion. A lot of people assume SA has to be violent, kicking and screaming, begging for help, but coercive assault is often a lot quieter and more about manipulation which that scene nailed in depicting. It's just everything after that that feels completely misfired and more so for the purpose of making Hades look like a better person simply by comparing him to Apollo on the basis of "he never assaulted Persephone!" and it drives me nuts.
10.) Demeter's winter. In the most recent FP episode, while discussing it with pals, all I could really say was, "This was supposed to be a retelling of the Abduction of Persephone". And Demeter's winter is a core part of that story, one of its biggest purposes in Greek culture was using the myths to explain the creation of the seasons. Despite this being a "retelling" of the Abduction of Persephone / Hymn to Demeter, one of the most important characters in the entire myth has been reduced to, at worst, a Mother Gothel Disney villain, and at best, a pointless NPC.

Trying to convince my brain that I cannot make another ask blog (it is not working help)
Anyway, a swapverse! Phastasmverse? Is that too hard to spell?
Uh
Yeah, I might be making another ask blog, probably on an actually different blog this time
I’ll probably alternate between working on this and Horror Dreamtale between STP
Rambling about precious children ⬇️
Amber (Dream by Joku):
- Tall bee man
- Smug asshole
- Got rich off selling his brother’s inventions
- Runs a fancy multiverse-wide Casino/Bar/Restaurant
Pollen (Dust by Ask Dusttale):
- Sweet little guy
- I say “little”, but he’s actually pretty tall
- Botanist obsessed with flowers
- has never killed anyone
- ever
- especially not by poisoning them with flowers
- Terrified of bears, even teddy bears
Cyan (Nightmare by Joku):
- Acts scary but is really a goofy little guy
- Mad scientist/engineer
- Uses inventions to run mazes, haunted house etc. to get negative emotions

- lonely someone befriend this man
Stitch (Error by Loverofpiggies):

- Fights with a giant sewing needle as a weapon
- Also needs friends
Mist (Fell by Vic):
- Probably the chillest guy here

Comet (Outer by 2mi127):
- Angry little guy
- One of two employees at the Multiversal Transportation and Postal services

- Mercenary
- Unnaturally good at making improvised weapons

- Turns people into mindless rainbow zombies
Marrow (Horror by Sourapplestudios):
- Bounty Hunter
- Able to switch out his body parts with other monsters and humans
- Pretty chill all things considered
Crypt (Reaper by Renrink):
- Uh
- what
- what is that
- just some guy that Palid decided to adopt?
Palid (Geno by Loverofpiggies):
- His name is a mix of Pallid (being pale or dull, like a dead person or ghost) and Paladin (a hero)
- Kind of adopted Papyrus’ personality after his death
- Precious little guy
- Finds Crypt in an ally and is like “yup I’m keeping him”
- Fights with a morning star
Ghost (Blue by Popcorn prince):
- Sad boy
- Able to manipulate water, especially his tears
- Has started following Razor around for no apparent reason
Cookie (Lust by NSFWShamecave):
- Again, just a genuinely nice person
- Runs a bakery!
- Obsesses over people easily
- Can and will give you a hug
Sweettooth/Ttoo (Ccino by Black-Nyanko):
- So high energy (as a result of experiments, probably) that they need to almost constantly be eating high-energy food, typically sugar
- Trying to find a cure along with their best friend, Cookie
- When low on energy, will start to melt and attack any nearby source of energy, including souls

[ @pkmn-monochrome - interaction thing i can't send as an ask bc long and images]
The dark of the Pokemon tower is never something that has bothered Red. Never something that would, certainly not after seeing much worse and being much older.
Tumblr media
At this point, really, it's a kind of eeriness he'd come to miss. It reminds him of simpler times- days when a young boy only had to fear things like ghost stories, and shadows that lurked in the dark.
He knows very well that this place is not the Pokemon Tower he knew, of course. He's not stupid. This place was only built in its image, the miserable ending of a game dyed in grey and built out of spite.
Tumblr media
He runs a hand along the wall of the staircase he descends, feeling the cold stone, yet also the intangible data, dull static and code under the fingertips. Watches in quiet fascination as the textures distort and corrupt under deliberate contact, the broken foundations of Generation 1 reacting to him, (same as always,) but a touch more stable from the fusion of the bastard remakes keeping it grounded.
Any damage caused is meaningless, the existence of it debatable as a whole, as he passes through a loading zone. Half of him watches everything fade to black, the other half just continues down the steps that are as tangible as anything else here is to someone within the game. Everything is right- just as it should be.
Either way, it's not like it's his game to break. That would be plain rude, especially with the risk of killing someone!
Intrigue in this world, curious as it may be, isn't why he's here.
Nah. He's more interested in something else.
Tumblr media
Or, someone, to be more precise.
Having finally found who he'd looking for, Red steps off the stairs and into another layer of this endless graveyard, whistling as he finally lays eyes on a certain monochromatic individual.
"Y'know..." he chides from across the room, "A graveyard's a pretty cliche place to spend eternity, don't you think?"
He snorts at his own remark. "Course, I guess it's not like you had a choice. The sadsack that made this game could've picked something a little more outside the box, is all I'm saying. Do you think they'd bury bodies in the Viridian Forest, maybe? Or swimming offa Route 20, try a little watery grave... Oh, Champion's Road could be pretty morbid!"
He sighs and folds his arms, shaking his head at himself.
"... Nah, I'm joking. I can see the vision. I could give less of a shit about this place, anyways..."
His eyes gleam, and a menacing smile spreads across his face.
"I'm more interested in you. A glorified reskin of Pokemon Tower ain't shit compared to you. A little bug told me about some sentient Red-Leaf kinda amalgamation with the memories of a real person, and I just had to look into it and come to see for myself. Lo and behold..."
He spreads his arms out in some kind of almost-mocking grand gesture.
Tumblr media
"Here you are! Cody, right? In the flesh, or... I suppose your problem is the lack thereof, heh."
He begins to approach, moving slowly and never once looking away. He stalks forward, every step careful and deliberate, teeth bared in a grin that holds no happiness but oozes with amusement.
"I've got so many questions, I don't even know where to begin. You're really something special... One of a kind, fully aware of everything. Knowing what life both here, and out there, is really like. I've seen players that would kill to even get a chance to stand where we do, but... You want out more than anything."
Scratching his chin, the man walks around them at a slight distance. Red gets the thought that Cody wouldn't want something like him anywhere near them. At least he can respect that.
"Suppose the courteous thing would be to ask a question- that's the tradition around these parts, right? Constantly interrogating you so you don't have to sit here, alone with your..."
His eyes flicker to the two GHOSTs at Cody's side.
"... Thoughts. And the like."
He hops onto a grave nearby, sitting with his ankles crossed. Respect towards the dead be damned, every tomb in places like this were about as sacred as Halloween decorations.
Tumblr media
"Here's what I'd like to know, Cody."
His smile widens further- for a brief moment, the glitches on his body seem to spread to the air around him, cutting through the gray with burning streaks of red, white, and yellow.
"You have your hacker's memories. Some of them. ANY of them. It's enough. You'd know what it was like to be them. You know what it was like to be human. You know both worlds."
"What is it like? To be real? To be something more than code. How different is it from this?"
Tumblr media
"What was it like to be HUMAN?"
He jabs a finger forward, pointing at them as the static that flared up around him quickly subsides, clearing the air back into the typical oppressive atmosphere of the endless graveyard.
"I want to hear it from you," he finishes cooly, "someone who has been on both sides of the screen. You could tell me better than anyone."

Hazbin: Lucifer =/= Samael?
This is a real personal itch of mine. If it was done occasionally, I could brush it off as having fun, but it's so widespread and common. I see a lot of fanworks refer to pre-Fall Lucifer as Samael. And I get why, and yall can have your fun, but it bugs me so imma do an education.
One thing you gotta know is, mythologically, there is no direct textual connection between Lucifer and Samael. I'm presuming yall are mixing them because there's a middle character that is conflated with both of them:
Tumblr media
SATAN
Samael has historically been associated with Satan. Lucifer, however, has only been more recently conflated with Satan. The origin of Lucifer isn't even necessarily about an angel, but a prideful king! (familiar?) And in Hellaverse, Lucifer and Satan are once again two different characters because Binsfield.
Usually they're pretty good at delineation between Lucifer and Satan. But in order to have her cake and eat it too, have Charlie be the daughter of the Devil and Lilith whilst having a separate Satan character, Viv gave some of Samael's/Satan's things to Lucifer. Most notably as Lilith's partner.
Lucifer is the Devil in Hellaverse, but he's more associated with Pride than anything else. Hellaverse Satan has Samael's whole adversary, judgement, courtroom deal.
Tumblr media
Sometimes Samael is identified as evil incarnate or the source of evil, and while Lucifer may be the first to cause sin, what little we know of Hellaverse's pure evil is more associated with Satan and the Wrath Ring as a whole from the first episode (thank you for the lore Martha).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I have a whole separate post about Hell and all the yes and that emblem and the Root of All Evil so I'm not gonna rehash it here)
Lower class Hellborn even treat Satan like their god. Helluva Boss has characters saying "oh my Satan" constantly. The one time we hear something different it's from a literal prince who says "oh my Lucifer".
And lore mixing is totally fine, it's fiction, fuck with it, have fun, but there's still one big issue for me and it's more about the logic of the names.
Samael roughly means "poison of God".
Lucifer actually comes from the Book of Isaiah 14:12 due to the game of telephone that is translation.
What used to be rendered as "Lucifer" like a title in Latin was in Hebrew Hêlêl ben Šāḥar, which most literally (I think) is "exalted child of dawn", more commonly rendered "son of morning", and is in reference to Venus, also known as the morning star. Greek renders it Heōsphoros which is another name for the Greco-Roman god Phosphorus, Lucifer in Latin, who was (you may have guessed) the personification of Venus. tldr Lucifer means morning star.
And this is where it gets me; why would Lucifer have a "nicer" name AFTER he fell to Sin? How does corruption turn him from Poison to Morningstar? Sure, he could've chosen his name post-Fall, but pre-Fall is presumably names they were given.
We have nothing so far of how Lucifer was seen in Heaven before but a lot of fans portray him as "God's favorite". Which makes Samael make even LESS sense. At the very least you'd think if he was known to be "poison" they'd keep a better eye on him. They've got a lot of them. But shit happened.
This is a long way of me saying Lucifer doesn't HAVE to be Samael and Samael doesn't HAVE to be Lucifer. Lucifer could've been his name the whole time. Samael could be Satan. Samael could be a different character entirely. Hell, make up YOUR OWN angelic name for Lucifer if you want! The other Sins don't have them either, go nuts! You don't have to be trapped in that box if you don't want to. There are other options.

🍬King Candy (Wreck-It Ralph) x (gn) Reader👑
(Beginning Relationship Pt. II Edition!)
Tumblr media
(Just a tad bit different🔑 than it usually is, Have fun :))
- Tries his best to separate him from who he used to be to ward off suspicion of his shady behavior but as we can all see, he’s not exactly the best at it at times. Especially if you knew him when he was Turbo. Johunlz
- His more friendly King Candy look gives him far more leeway than he had as Turbo which he wanted purposely. He uses it to his advantage, especially when it comes to you, literally that one scene from Adventure Time. Shameless about it on top of that. ohcl
- Much like how he was previously, he teases you. But it’s far more lighthearted I guess? Sometimes he just says something absolutely mean as shit and then pats your head patronizingly in the same breath. Hate him. illu
- Being some of the shortest game characters of the bunch, he’s no stranger to being looked down upon, literally, and by then he doesn’t have much of an issue with his s/o being taller than him…
- However, if by some miracle or chance, you’re smaller than him, he thinks you’re so cute, affectionately calling you “snack-sized”, and he’ll say it when he tries to get on your nerves for one reason or another. thkl,
- Lovessss putting others down, when it comes to you, it’s more lighthearted or joking (with that little metaphorical bug in his ear relishing being able to do so), and anyone else??? Not as much. pu
- Lives for the praise you give him, as much as he doesn’t admit it of course, that self-satisfied and smug grin he gets whenever you congratulate him for having majority wins/being chosen the most as an avatar on Sugar Rush says it all. tvyl
- While being the one to establish the paywall and coin prizes (cause he’s an insidious asshole), he kinda hates that he can’t have an actual trophy like he used to— Can’t exactly display them for you to comment on later on considering they are constantly being used and turned into code. But hey, at least they have his insignia on them. aohu
- Calling myself out on this once more, but, the description randomalistic used for him in this YouTube video (which,,, I highly suggest watching if you haven’t already), specifically “a corrupt politician” is frighteningly accurate, he lies, he cheats, he sabotages, a perfect allegory for a corrupt higher power. vul
- And he fucking knows it man, proud of it even, one of his most successful works and he can’t even brag about it, can’t even tell you. wshjl
Tumblr media
- We really don’t see what his relationship is between him and the other racers besides Taffyta claiming he wants to keep them safe and uh… The race track scenes. So from what I can ascertain I can fully see him acting like Miss Hannigan from Annie, specifically this one scene (yeah this post is just chocked full of links, bear with me), the mental image of him mockingly saying “she had to go bathroom” with his lisp makes me weak.
- Even in his new and far more prestigious position as King he still longs for more, with his limits and disguises imperfections not helping this inner turmoil, even in a game as big as Sugar Rush boredom takes root and he even his excuses that explain why he stays in Sugar Rush to you have a nearly invisible air of uncertainty to them.
- Makes a point to make you feel good, loved, cared for all throughout your visits to Sugar Rush, nothing is too good for you, there’s always more.
- I think this kind of behavior stems from this deep seated desire to make sure you don’t leave him, you could have everything you want with his help— Why wouldn’t you stay? Please stay.
- Caged. That’s how he feels secretly, I mean, who wouldn’t? He wasn’t exactly coded to be a monarch, all these responsibilities, not even his coding skills could help him with that…. I mean, would he even be himself without it?
- Achievements, what are they for when it’s the same thing over and over again? Validation? Attention? Power?? You maybe? Things he’s been chasing after for all of his life, well— Not you but he’s realized that he’s become far too attached to you, your softness, your sensitivity.
- Each moment spent together is far more significant to him than what he thought it’d be when he first showed interest in you— Thinking it’d be like every other relationship (mostly platonic ones) he’s been in, fleeting, and ending with you hating him, you had every right to after all.
- Sickness, an insult that had been thrown his way over a dozen times to the point where it usually gets a scoff and furrowed brows, but it feels devastating when you say it after his true nature is unceremoniously revealed by his hubris.
- Abandoned— That familiar pang ripping through his newly mutated form as you struggle for your life alongside the others that stayed behind to help every last one of the Sugar Rush people to get to safety from the unruly swarm of Cy-Bugs eating their home into nothing.
- Red. That’s all he sees as he brutally beats Ralph down into a pulp and cruelly taunts everyone else as he holds the overgrown bad guy in the air, eagerly and sadistically waiting for a little girl to meet a brutal end only to meet his own.

okay so there's this little indie title called baldur's gate 3
and there's a challenge someone slapped onto a graphic and insisted was a "new trend" called the "frodo challenge"
Tumblr media
this is not a "trend" any more than any of the other challenges/trick runs/bits people have been doing, but it intrigued me. because I am a turn-based gamer in my blood and have been known to do a bit. so I rolled up Mister Frodo.
Tumblr media
level 1 rogue, no mods, stats built specifically around keeping him as alive as possible within that VERY, VERY LIMITED framework (i.e. Dex and Con). My boy has 10 hp. Until I get some late-game equipment, he will never have more than 10 hp.
(This is going to become a problem.)
and one more fun little narrative/mechanical twist: what is the corruption of the One Ring, I thought, if not a Dark Urge? (this makes sense logically but also has a real and practical purpose: only the Durge has access to the cloak that makes you invisible and I need it so fucking bad)
Now, for Da Rules. I'm doing very slight deviations: 1. I am on Honour Ruleset but not in Honour Mode, meaning that I do get to save and reload--though I will be at least NOTING if and when Mister Frodo dies 2. While the only weapon Frodo may attack with is a shortsword, he is allowed to: a. throw small objects (is there anything more hobbit than throwing a rock) and b. have other weapons equipped (because surely at some point someone said, here, Frodo, hold this). I have Taken Steps to ensure I don't accidentally attack with the bow that's giving him a passive initiative buff please I really need this.
Tumblr media
(that side of the bar is usually closed.) I'm interpreting "never separate" to be "never out of combat range" (so, included in initiative) and "takes at least one combat-relevant action per combat" (my boy is chucking a lot of potions, but he's also last-hit several things with a rock). We're going to see how this gets when I have large AOEs to contend with (I'm still working out how I'm gonna tackle Grym). Currently I'm also keeping the Magic Ring equipped (meaning I'm down a slot), but since Frodo doesn't constantly wear it I'll probably swap it out. He'll put it on occasionally, and it will always be in his inventory. Early levels aren't too scary (except in the normal Honour Mode ways) , so I've been running around saving every tiefling (the only non-evil-ending achievement I STILL DON'T HAVE) and knocking Minthara out and stealing her armor (and then triggering the raid ANYWAY to which she arrives in the nude like a FUCKING queen (I actually had to reset my run after this because I'd hit a weird bug but I went through the exact same progression of events, because fighting nude Minthara is a canon event)). so now I need to start dealing with Githyanki! cheers!! p.s. fun fact: if you awaken in the middle of the night with the blood of a traveling dragonborn bard on your hands and in a ritual circle at camp, BUT a cute dog arrives the same morning, this will never be spoken of again! So everything's cool!!

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
heres a collection of concept art for the rest of the entities for the mythos au!! if you're wondering where the eye is, they've been drawn already!
they are all FAR from done. keep in mind these are all just my initial concepts and i plan to do in-depth design sheets as i go to explore their designs more.
IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO IMPROVE THESE DESIGNS PLEASE THROW EM AT ME- MY ANON IS OPEN AND I READ TAGS I DONT CARE JUST!!!! GIMME!!!!!
(also au context: the magnus mythos is an au where the entities are all gods, similar to various religious mythology, rather than paranormal entities that feed on fear)
design thoughts for each of them under the cut
The Web - God of Fate (she/it): im pretty happy with her design atm, shes meant to be a half spider half woman thing and i love that for her. shes probably the one ive thought the most on so far given her importance to the story. i want her to wear silks and shiny silver jewelry that just sparkles like wet spiderwebs do, not sure if im gonna keep the veil?
The Dark - God of the Dark (she/he/it): probably my weakest concept at the moment. it doesnt do the dark any justice. i mean i like the cloak idea but i want them to be very tendrilly, all consuming, shadowy, but i dont know how to properly portray them :/
The Desolation - God of Destruction and Fire (they/it): i have a neat vision for them! i want them to be made of coal and ash and smoke, to be burning and glowing on the inside, and their body is decorated with melted wax to look like clothes. not quiiiiiite sure about how their melty candle dress is now? i want it to be less constrictive
The Stranger - God of the Unknown and the Whimsical (he/she/they/it): it's meant to be this. weird wirey creature hidden behind masks and a lot of fabrics, like the framework of a poseable plush doll? i like the way the masks look but im not so sure about the body.
The Vast - God of the Above (she/he/they/it): im not so sure about his design at all im gonna be real. i want them to look like the atmosphere and be covered in clouds and have mountains for feet and an ocean cape but i feel like it might be a bit?? idk??? im just not that happy with it :/
The End - God of Death and Time (they/it): ugh i love this concept sm, making death read as less scary and more divine is so fun. theyre based on a seraphim and a sand timer,
The Buried - God of the Underneath (she/he/they/it): ANOTHER OF MY FAVORITES!!!! i love them. theyre inspired by hermit crabs!! and they have silver chains holding their shell to them. they look so endearing with their lil lopsided eyes ;; <3
The Flesh - God of the Body and Meat (she/he/they/it): i have so many ideas for the flesh y'all- im very excited to do a concept sheet for them. theyre meant to have no skin, just exposed bone and muscle, large limbs, hooves, exposed heart underneath a ribcage, teeth that close around their abdomen. white bandages that wrap around like clothes. a teeth/horn crown? i dont quite know whether to go for a more animalistic look or a more human one? like- theres so many ways to go with him idek!!!
The Hunt - God of Predators and Pride (they/it): see, i like this design but i feel like its too werewolf like? yknow? thats cool!! but itreads more monster to me than God :/
The Corruption - God of Nature, Rot, and Disease (she/they/it): i love this weird bug thing. this one i was really inspired for (mostly because. corruption aligned. so obviously im gonna think about this one alot) theyre this weird bug thing, the veil is inspired by the one from the art on the wiki! i want to maybe make them a bit more gross and weird because nature is like that sometimes, a moot on tiktok suggested that i add animal bones!! and i think thats SO smart im absolutely going too
The Spiral - God of the Incomprehensible (it/its): this weirdo is so hard to pin down istg. i imagine them as this spiral thing. body is kindof liquidy, arms are spindly and long, multiple shifting faces, overall just constantly changing and moving and like!!! how am i meant to draw that??? when my brain cant even wrap my head around what its supposed to look like yknow??? bruh jrdbhgfjdldgfh- that being said i think the main problem with the design is that it just gives me too many Michael vibes!!! is it the hair? the arms? its probably both.
The Lonely - God of Solitude and the Self (they/it): i like what this one has going so far! theyve got fog hair, fog tears, their body is meant to be splotchy like turquoise marble, i vibe with it so hard. not so sure what to do with their outfit tho :/
The Slaughter - God of War (he/they/it): another one of my more stronger designs i think! centaur with weapons sticking into them, face concealed, medieval armor and antlers- it vibes
the extinction isnt drawn because i literally have no idea what they should look like aside from color palette-
once again any and all suggestions will be taken!!!! i need ideas!!! plese!!!!

LavaLamp! My beloved <3
•reide hates being alone and he doesn’t have many friends aside from Kaiden and Murklin who are children so he and Bendy FaceTime often (magic mirrors from hell)

•for some reason small bugs scare reide only small ones if they’re large he can handle them if they’re little he’s screaming for bendy
•bendy constantly has to remind reide to wear a shirt
•anytime bendy wants help from reide he brings him marshmallows as bribe
•bendy keeps booping his nose all the time
•nudity isn’t that big of a deal in hell they have a bunch of bath houses and nude beaches so reside is completely naked in his house most of the time which flusters bendy to no end
•they help each other with their fur
•reide is a great cook! Unfortunately hell doesn’t have many spices so he’s not used to cooking with them just yet
•both don’t like coffee (bendy will still drink is and complain about the taste to reide)

•reide is allergic to mangos they found out when bendy gave him one to try making them spent a night in the hospital (unfortunately for bendy reide adores mangos and keeps trying to eat them)

•unrelated but I really want reide learning about surface things in future chapters
•bendy takes them to a art museum and reide has no idea what hell he’s looking at
•reide accidentally locked themselves in the bathroom and had to call bendy for help, that somehow ended up with them both getting locked in the bathroom
•bendy keeps accidentally falling asleep on reide and getting embarrassed (it’s not his fault reide is so fluffy!)
•they somehow became known as Fay in the next town over how it happened they have no idea
• reide is surprisingly poetic and romantic and bendy is not handling that well
•bendy hates reides human form. He doesn’t know why but he hates it. Reide is okay with that cause he too hates his human from
•bendy is on a quest to find reides favorite flower
•reide took bendy to a park In hell cause he realized he never been and he found that criminal

A lot of Reylos seem to be satisfied that at least Osha and Qimir get to spend time together and are okay with them being doomed I guess. I mean if they’re into corruption love stories than that’s fine. Emphasis on love stories because those end in tragedy and people can’t seem to tell the difference between a romance and a love story.
What bugs me are the constant comparisons to Reylo. As if what the Acolyte did was better and it wasn’t. People think that showing Osha and Qimir looking out into the horizon together was a fuck you to JJerrio and perhaps maybe it was or maybe that’s how they want us to perceive it as. I personally wouldn’t call it a step up from TROS. I see it as unapologetic bait.
They’re living in a cave with Darth Plagueis (unbeknownst to them) that totally can’t end well. Who knows if they even get renewed for a season two. And while I’m happy for those who are enjoying the show. I personally cannot get invested and feel nothing but apathy when it comes to the actual product.
I can't help getting my hackles up constantly seeing reylo called or grouped in with 'corruption arc' stories. That's exactly what it wasn't and is the whole reason it was perfect SW and why it was imperative that it come to fruition. I've gone on many rants about it, but Ben is absolutely not manipulating or trying to seduce Rey. Their entire dynamic is built around the fact that he is sincere, honest, and transparent with her; he is the only person she meets who tells her nothing but the truth.
He confronts her with a mirror, he empathises with her, and he won't allow her to delude herself or play make believe. That is his most important function in her arc. And he doesn't do it to undermine her or take advantage of her, he is genuinely trying to help. The fact that he is right about Rey and their connection is real doesn't make it okay for her to ignore his fucked up and misguided worldview just so they can be together, so she's right to reject that worldview, but she doesn't reject him. This salvific love between them will end up freeing him from the bondage of fatalism and enable him to choose for himself, resulting in his inevitable redemption.
Obviously I haven't and will never watch the show, but like I said, it sounds like the opposite of a victory and given it was apparently supposed to continue as a corruption arc, I would have no interest in it even if it weren't for the fact that I'm never giving DLF another chance.
