#put them through the blender

[veveisveryuncool]

so, i was wondering about that mirror AU. first off i wanna say, i really like the designs. but i did have a few questions.

So first off, for Magolor, you say he's basically blind but it looks like he has an eye in his mouth like the original soul version. Is that not an eye or am I just going crazy?

Secondly, You mentioned how Adeline is the most normal of them. So are all the characters basically insane and if so, how would you say they rank on the sanity scale?

And finally, and I just have to ask this being a fan of both these characters, but you mentioned that Magolor has someone to help guide him, being blind. Is there by any chance that this seeing-eye jester you mentioned happens to be Marx?

ohhh hi!! tysm for asking about this! i'm really glad people took an interest in those mirror world counterparts, it means a lot :]]

ok, to start, i'm gonna talk about adeleine and sanity :D (since the two magolor questions tie in with each other and bc i like talking about her)

here is the "sanity" scale! i put this in quotes because they are all a little bit insane in their own ways <3

adeleine is the "most normal" here, not because she is mentally sane, but because she basically lives the same life she had pre-DL3 (living alone in cloudy parks, surrounded by her living discarded WIPs, having various temper tantrums). obviously, she still plays a role in the mirror-world version of 64:CS, but she let the whole "shiver star oh my god. earth is dead. humans are gone and i'm the only one left" thing completely take over her psyche. she stays up in the clouds, desperately trying to remember life on earth, and maybe– just maybe, convince herself that she's not alone.

magolor is doing surprisingly okay here?? like, sure he barely managed to scrape his way out of purgatory, and now has the remains of his wrongdoings etched into his body, but he's taking it like a champ 👍👍 he denies what happened to him was his fault (even when it totally was), and because of it, his AD experience was ramped up to 11. he feels no remorse for his betrayal, and instead no longer fights kirby simply because he gave up trying. he's also got the whole..eye and crown thing going on. so.

elfilin is next, with him basically being confined to the Pickle Jar. he's trapped in his own mind (forever wandering the isolated isles) and just kinda floats there, waiting for something to save him from an eternity of chaos. i put him above adeleine because of the situation that leads him there in the first place. since the initial splitting of elfilis/elfilin was a lot more messy, it means that they're stuck in a yin-yang scenario. instead of completely good, elfilin is mostly good, and that sliver of darkness increased his susceptibility to fecto forgo, drawing him to lab discovera. the beast pack captures him and tries to fuse him with forgo, but because of the discordance, it's taking a lot longer. the "good" part of elfilin hangs on, trapped in his dreams and slowly losing his grip, which is represented by his constant crying of the blood cell-like orbs from chaos elfilis' fight.

ribbon is. not doing so hot here. not only is she on the verge of breaking (mentally and physically), she has essentially isolated herself to complete an impossible mission. since the crystal was smashed into thousands upon thousands of pieces, she'll likely spend the rest of her life searching for each shard. she wallows in guilt and self-depreciation (even though it's not her fault!!), and is also fighting off dark matter possession at any given point. her will is strong, but how long can she last?

okay!! magolor time!!

magolor's seeing-eye jester is indeed marx! (though he will kill you if you call him that) while mirror-marx is even less of a good choice to befriend than normal marx, their friendship still upholds :]

while yeah, magolor does have a huge-ass eye in his mouth, it's not him that's doing the seeing. the visual information goes straight to the master crown, if this makes sense.

the master crown's power has dulled, now forming a symbiotic relationship with him. magolor provides the crown with a body to host, and the crown's magic allows him survive AD, basic perception (he's not gonna run into a tree anytime soon, but can't read or see faces), and a huge ego boost.

Blitzbee Week Day Seven: Over & Over Again

Alternate version with no text below the cut!

[anxiety0-0]

Ok so bear with me for a little bit but you remember the headcanon that all the bones in Annabeth’s solo quest were her bones?

Imagine it in Athena’s pov from the start, she’s close with her kids (kids who she thought she’d never get to have), interacting with them as much as she can before and after the ancient laws, she still has favorites but that’s to be expected

Now one day she off handedly mentions her statue + the prophecy and her favorite (the most brilliant of her children, one of which she wishes could let go of things, to be less like her) child (a daughter bc Im mean) wants to help to help and begs to be given a quest to retrieve it

She has the prophecy detailing who brings it back but she can’t really fathom sending her children off to get it, not with Arachne guarding it (not when she’s sending them to their deaths)

Athena compromises and is like “my child you’re literally 11 wait a few years” and so they do but they never stop begging. She tries offering other quests and they complete it but their pride doesn’t let them back down from the big quest

Eventually they threaten to go without the prophecy and Athena is like “fine but Im allowed to intervene despite the prophecy” but something is preventing her from helping. She’s force to watch as her (most brilliant) child dies and completely shuts down the quest

Then they come back, choosing to be her child yet again (even after she failed them) She hides the prophecy from them (never even giving them a quest) But the issue about her statue became an open secret to the Athena cabin. And after being (presumably) look over and ignored (poking at their pride), her favorite child yet again walks to their death

It happens over and over again. Different bodies, different mortal parents, different names, but always the same exact eyes (ones that match hers like none of her other children does) and the same fatal flaw (the one that brings them back again and again)

She grows more jaded over time, she can never stop them (not without losing the spark in their eyes, not without losing them again in a different way) But they always come back, different but vying for the same quest every time and dying for it

That’s why the quest became cursed (insert owls flying blindly into a glass panel metaphor), the one that no Athena child can succeed in.

Then here comes Annabeth, the exact same as the rest of reincarnations (except she’s nearly a visual carbon copy of her first life) So Athena goes through the whole process again, deny a quest as long as she can (at least then they wouldn’t die in another way) until she’ll eventually get restless and go anyway (they always had a talent of wiggling out prophecies they shouldn’t know)

But Percy (a child of POSEIDON breaking the cycle actually makes me insane) throws all of that to shit, bringing Annabeth into danger and out of the need to gain Athena’s recognition. At first she’s pissed at him (can’t he see her child would be safest in camp? No matter if she’s withering away at least she’s alive) for messing with her plans but she gets to know Annabeth and not the ghosts in her mind

Vienna Harton Elizabeth Annabeth wants to build something that’ll last even after she’s died. She learns her fatal flaw, she’s not blindly loyal, she has another reason to live, she lives despite the odds, and she’s different from the past reincarnations. Annabeth lives through horrors and myths over and over again, becoming a hero in her own right

Athena? She’s fighting with herself, reasonably she knows that Annabeth is different from her last lives, that she has the greatest chance to get her statue. But what if she’s wrong? What if she has to add another pair of lifeless grey eyes judging her? She holds off that quest as long as she can, knowing that Annabeth no longer feels the need to go on another quest

But then the second great prophecy happens. And she knows they’ll need the statue to fix rift between the camps. Her Roman and Greek side are fighting and she can barely think ahead. To doom the world or to doom her daughter? In a brief moment of coherence (and mild insanity) she gives Annabeth the quest

Athena draws her powers back, thinking that she’s the one who doomed her child (Wisdom walks alone after all). Going so far as to disown her for something as petty as siding with the Romans (insert metaphor about tossing owls out the nest to learn how to fly)

But Annabeth succeeds and Athena is so incredibly relieved and thankful that she hadn’t killed her child again

And then canon continues to happen where everything kinda goes to hell (pun intended)

Either way I kinda want to write a fic about this

[sitritea]

The clock beats like a heart, tick, tock, tick, tock.

He draws his blood, sparingly, gliding across the machine's lightless optic.

Tick. Tock.

He waits, and waits, and waits, and waits some more.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

Centuries pass, he is still young, forever youthful, but the machine shows age, its plates rusting from the rain.

Tick, tock.

Time passes quickly, but years feel longer.

Tick. Tock.

As he finally fades, his existence now expired as God's light fully fades from this world, he gives the machine a final taste.

Tick.

His body fades to ashes, his wings dissipating into blinding sparks of light. He feels relief, for his suffering is finally over.

Tock.

The machine awakens, its limbs hardly able to move, its optic lighting a dim path through the darkness of the end of the world, and it wonders why the ground is covered in ash.

The clock stops.

There is nothing.

But it can taste the blood running through its system. Its old engine clicks with age.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

Until the blood runs out.

And silence falls upon all.

@keferon OKAY BUT LISTEN YEAH I would loved if it was just fun ehehehe and sassy flirting with the demon no one sees pfffht, literally summoned a demon just to flirt with, and I guess it could have been going for a long time, just little strips with their funny adventures and then plot can go to the fact that he wants to give him a body and Shockwave would agree or that they just stay the way they are and just hang out like this together (Alo I remember that you wanted to put Ratchet (I keep writing Ratched instead of Ratchet buuuh) and Drift in it as another demon and their summoner thing whghweghgwe but I like how you made two separate stories for them that happen at the same time, okay I am actually PRETTY MUCH invested in this story, I like a lot how it goes and gets tangled and how mixes up with idw ideas and other stuff a lot)

BUT NOW that you changed it that way, you made a few more things that reader might be interested a lot in, like that promise he made and you mentioning that he will regret it, how their relationship progressively develops, plus the fact that Blurr was a frivolous slob gifted with dark magic AND how the tables turn upside dow and he get consequences for what he did in the most unpredictable way for him and how he surely changes in his behaviour, getting more and more concerned about his promise and maybe truly loving someone for the first time in his life and wanting to change something. And then figuring out that that same demon actually was a person before, someone he knew, someone respectable, kind, shiny, absolut sun of a person, who died (I am still on my knees waiting to know how exactly he died...) miserably to the point that he absolutely can't stand his life as a demon and NOT EVEN being able to kill himself!!! And Blurr was a pupil in his school, he saw him, he gifted him an ability to make his magic work for him, gave the freedom to live among everyone to all who was poisoned with this dark magic. OH WAITA HGSDHAG the thing that beastformers can't walk among transformers and the fact that dark spellers also could not, and how these events happen at a close times, OKAY so dark spellers got their kind of freedom thanks to Senator Shockwave (OH MY GOD what if Orion can see Shockwave and will recognise him right away COUGH) BUT I am wondering if beastformers will get some kind of an official declaration or some kind of school to be educated in and I wonder if Deadlock/Drift (I think after leaving he will change his name from the last episode...) will volunteer to be a teacher t be something more, or he will just end up with Ratchet wandering around the world, or maybe there will be a whole damn revolution where all monoformers and beastformers leaded by Drift go against the system, and maybe these events happen at the same time as a Senator Shockwave fighting for the rights of gifted... Okay I'm getting carried a little bit ahsghag excuse me... OH I GOT carried away A LOT I wanted to get back to the point that Blurr, now figuring out the past of Shocwave, dealing with all the events, dealing with what he has done and find a way to free them, at the same time STILL having adventures and fun since I'm sure he can be a good mood lifter to moody Shockwave and even see him in a really good mood since he is... well, not just a demon made of hatred but the wonderful kind of person in his previous life... (okay being carried away but what if Orion might declare the freedom to beastformers (AJHGAJHSDJAH OH MY GOD I IMAGINED JAZZ AS A PANDA HAVING A ROMAN WITH PROWL AND PROWL NOT KNOWING ABOUT IT OKAY SORRY) after seeing what it lead to after Senator Shockwave. And maybe Ratchet will be able to get his sign back freely after revolution will be successful or he will be forever blind just to be free and safe with his husband OKAY LISTEN I think it is obvious that I really like the thing you do....

Last line written

Thank you so much for tagging me @okthisway!! Sorry it took this long to respond, but I did see your tag right away and didn't forget!

I've recently decided to brush up on my long-forgotten writing skills, but even all the storytelling knowledge I'd been passively accumulating throughout the years couldn't make it any easier to put the words on proverbial paper.

Aghghggh turns out to get better at something, you have to actually do it. Turns out the only way out is through. Unbelievable.

Anyway, speaking of Zukka--

Warning: disgusting tooth-rotting fluff (before this, they were laughing like love-struck madmen in the dead of night)

"Eugh, get a room, you two, I'm gonna puke," they suddenly heard from an open window closest to them, and both flinched so hard they nearly jumped, breaking the hug abruptly. Deep red flush crept up both their cheeks and necks and ears, and after a minute of awkward silence they snickered again, not being able to hold it together. Zuko'd forgotten Toph could normally hear their heartbeats, let alone any louder noises happening almost right behind the wall. He couldn't see her but whispered apologies in her direction anyway, face ready to burst, as Sokka was giggling silently at the side, trying not to wake up the others. Once they'd stopped and caught their breaths, Zuko came closer, still smiling, and traced the outline of Sokka's hot red cheek, planting a quick peck on his lips and making his flush stay and eyes flutter closed. The sight of that made Zuko's guts twist into a tight knot. "The night is lovely," Sokka said, looking only into his eyes. "Wanna stay outside a while?" And Zuko smiled and pressed another, longer kiss to his lips in response.

Tagging (no pressure, of course) @boltlightning, @bluerose5, @beepbeepsan. I'm actually not sure who else to tag, so anybody who sees this is welcome to join! ❤

The Watcher in the Rain spoiler rambles under the cut PLEASEEE GO LISTEN TO IT

---

I SUPPORT WOMEN'S WRONGS!!!!!!

GRETA VERN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS. HER VOICE HER VOICEEEEEE

EVERYONE'S VOICES IN THIS GO HARD AS FUCK BTW. GOD I LOVE VOICE ACTING. AND THE SOUND EFFECTS

IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THE POWER IN THE PAPERWORK AND HOW MUCH OF A TANGLED MESS THE INNERWORKINGS OF THE IMPERIUM ARE

I can just see this comic in my head of her making that first mistake, and all the dreary colors turn saturated and bright with adrenaline.

Her heart jumping in her throat, eyes darting around for whatever horrible fate may befall her. But nothing came.

Her surroundings slowly return to the usual darkened colors, but she remains bright. Snapped out of her trance, now fully aware of how stuffy and confined this room is. How the silence suffocates her.

The thrill of her heart pounding in her chest, pushing the limits more and more. The quietest scratch of pen to paper, and countless people are dead before they know it. This is her resistance. This is her revenge against the Imperium. They made me do this. They made me into this.

The power. The control. Ink and blood are all the same in her hands.

AND HER CONFESSING TO CRUCIUS. PROPPING UP THIS DYING MAN AGAINST THE WALL AND GIGGLING. GRABBING HIM BY THE SHOULDERS WITH SHAKY HANDS AND WIDE EYES AND AN UNCONTROLLABLE SMILE.

THE WAY SHE SAYS "PRAISE THE IMPERIUM" AT THE END I'M GONNA SCREAMMMM!!!!!

AND CRUCIUS IN GENERAL. THAT FLASHBACK WHERE HE'S APOLOGIZING TO HIS MASTER BUT FELT NOTHING AT THE SIGHT OF GLASS SHARDS AGAINST SKIN. BLOOD RUNNING DOWN THE HANDS THAT RAISED HIM. THE WAY HE RECITES THINGS ON COMMAND.

"It felt like... Like... Like polishing my boots. Like... Brushing my uniform. Combing my hair. It didn't feel like anything, master." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AND WHEN THE REALIZATION OF WHAT HE'S DONE FINALLY KICKS IN. THE GUILT THE ACHING IN HIS HEAD AND HIS HEART THE FACE OUTSIDE. SOMETHING ABOUT THE WAY HIS VOICE CHANGES IN THAT MOMENT.

The way he cries out in pain, gasping and gritting his teeth. The way his voice goes hushed with horror. The gurgle of blood rising in his throat.

WHEN YOU HEAR HIS SHAKY BREATHING AS IF ON THE VERGE OF TEARS OR TRYING TO MUSTER UP WORDS AND THE WAY GRETA GOES:

"No no Crucius, you're not dead yet. You can bleed all you want, *giggles*, but you can't go until you've finished listening." LIKE. HELLOOOOOOOOOO

The husks in gray shrouds. The bodies floating in space. The man bleeding out right in front of her. She has always been surrounded by the dead.

"I need someone to hear this. I need someone to ask me why. Go on! Go on, ask me why!" YOU CAN JUST HEARRR THE DESPERATION THE HIGH OF IT ALL

If I had a nickel for everytime someone with a shitty job wanted to play god, I would have two nickels. Her and Volo would be besties I just know it

Also I love how "Please ensure you have appeased the machine spirit" is the message the ship plays when you start it up jkghsdkf

[uris9158]

kdj doing everything he can to give yjh a happy ending and hsy doing everything she can to give kdj a happy ending. it rings so true bc when you love someone you just want them to be happy you just want them to have a happy ending after everything they suffered.

woahh look at these things !!! (Buttons belongs to @euclid-dragon !! Cupid belongs to my brother Leo !!) [recommended you click and zoom + bonus info below]

apricot moves in a somewhat unnatural-looking way; very loose and disjointed-looking. never carries anything with itself but always seems to find what it needs

buttons lives in a town, not a traveling pack! this is is a bit unusual for these guys, but they like it :3 lover of berries. of all the berries. please give them berries they want them so bad-

smokey is a bit hunched but quite active. he usually carries things on his belt by attaching metal rings to the belt; like pouches or small weapons, but i did not have space lmaoo ✌️

quarry actually does Many jobs but her two most important ones are the ones listed :) she was born without her right eye and is above average height for a cat-person

cupid is a certified hater and can only hang out with old people or he might kill somebody. a skilled archer who detests the puns; he stole the bow and taught himself to use it

In some of your comics there seems to be a red coloured character called Robin that the other characters care for. Is Robin the sibling or child of any other character?

((aaaaaa im gonna answer all your asks here if thats okay!! qwq))

Robin is Sparrow's younger sister! She also has a twin brother called Jay whose just a shy little bean. Sparrow has been their guardian for pretty much their entire lives,,, their parents passed away when Robin and Jay were basically still babies TwT

(just realised I haven't posted anything of them all together now wahhh thats a crime qwq)

Aasdsdfaghsfgh Swan and Crow were married,,, but they are very VERY divorced now (my toxic old woman yuri that should not get back together)

Owl is their child,,, somehow! Biologically? Blended family? Adopted? Magic? Whichever I think is funnier or more tragic in the moment ssdfgshaj,, Crow and Owl looking the same is intentional tho! uwu

Ohhh I could talk about any of my babies for hours, but these two have a special chokehold on me asdfgfghj,,

Swan wants whoever has a certain special enchanted lantern dead, so she sends Owl out to kill them for her. Just so happens that Sparrow is the one with the lantern, who promptly assimilates Owl into the found family (hhhh literally that one post that's like 'jokes on you, the assassin you sent after me has been assimilated into my found family)

They both grew up wanting freedom in some way,,, Owl spent her entire life isolated by her abusive mother,,, Sparrow was parentified at a young age and kind of felt trapped by the responsibility of raising his younger siblings alone. I think they both get each other asfaghj

HHHHHH they make me ill and they're both my punching bags,,, they should kiss maybe,,, I love giving my little guys big issues uwu

((also thank you so much for the interest in my guys?????? i love yapping about them adfga qwq))

been discussing the Ethereals in Tia's empire a lot lately, and although most of them do remain neutral and / or mind their own business, there were a handful who made the choice to invest in her rise - "the winning side" - and are profiting from that decision to this day. with them, Xarentia slowly build a faction of Ethereals who are loyal to the empire (as loyal as Ethereals can be) and handle much of her trade economy, especially the black markets and similarly underhanded business. this affords them many perks, from material wealth to commercial freedom. a large cornerstone in their history was the establishment of a Treatise restricting the Ethereals's use of cosmic-scale magic after one of them nearly had the Empress renounce their entire faction. as per headcanons with my partner, Ethereals have a terrifying potential for power on a cosmic level, considering they are creatures of condensed magic treading the Twisting Nether itself. if they ever had the mind to cease their infighting and truly set their minds to it, they absolutely could wipe out Her empire (and seriously harm the fabric of reality). the original Ethereals who established the Treatise with Her have since passed it down to future generations under the guise of a cultural policy and moral responsibility, rather than a legal obligation. there will always be outliers, but the core of these Ethereals serve the empire faithfully because of the many benefits and favoured treatment. although it's all business, Xarentia does genuinely value them very highly and it shows. prior to the Treatise, one of the outliers was S'razz, who caused irreparable damage to a casino inside a pocket dimension. in an ambitious bid to usurp the Nexus-Lord in charge, he stole an artifact entrusted into the casino's care and with it killed one of Xarentia's brood - specifically one of Amaladarra's children. as such, the spymaster herself handled the case and S'razz was ultimately imprisoned inside the same artifact he so coveted. ( he returned centuries later as a changed man and has since helped facilitate the Empress's relationship with his people. )
