#raven or eagle madness

[relaxedstyles]

The look my remote gives me after learning the last two remotes were broken during playoff games. And it's almost playoff time ...

[astaroth1357]

I have long wanted to write a headcanon where high demons have lesser forms, so take a walk with me on this:

Imagine that the brothers are fighting with each other and one of them takes a serious hit, like, somebody's left hook got them right in the jaw and it was brutal. They fall to the ground, stone cold, and... just. Poof into a tiny little critter. Like a verison of their familiar. And they can't retake human form until they've rested and healed their wounds.

I'm doing that.

Lucifer becomes this fat-ass, little peacock. He's like one of those rotund Chocobo from the Final Fantasy universe, you just want to pick him up and squeeze him but he's slightly too heavy for that. His feathers are black, save for the tail which have black, red, blue, and green markings. If something makes him "Poof!" then he'll hide away in the Castle because he refuses to let his brothers ever see him in that state. MC can visit him, though, and he'll coo and get all fluffy whenever they pet his tummy.

Mammon turns into a three-eyed raven, but not fat like Luci. He basically becomes a bigger verison of one of his familiars, he's about the size of an eagle. For being the second strongest he gets "Poof!-ed" rather often because he gets caught up in so many fights. Most of the time, he's just a bystander then some stray shot hits him and suddenly he's squawking everybody's ear off! Hilariously, he's arguably smarter in this form so when he's stuck as a bird, his grades actually improve (if anyone can read his actual chicken scratch penmanship).

Levi becomes a snake. Duh. He has similar markings along his back to the colorful scales on his neck in his demon form. He isn't even the length of your average scarf, so MC can drape him behind their neck easily and he doesn't get in the way. He's absolutely MISERABLE like this, though, because he has no hands to play games with. He can get extra clingy to people if he's feeling cold, but MC has to invite him to share their body heat because he's too shy to signal what he wants.

As much as Satan would love to be a cat, he becomes a little unicorn (Sorry, I didn't make the lore). He's about the size of one of those miniature horses, but don't be fooled. He will snap your kneecaps and he's at perfect height to rear-kick his brothers right in the crotch. His coat is black but his tail, mane, and the underside of his horn are all his signature green. If he every gets "Poof!-ed!" he's big mad, so he'll spend the entire time trying to kick and spear his brothers so they have to suffer along with him. He's the cause of a lot of chain "Poof!-ings."

Asmo becomes the smallest, cutest scorpion you ever did see. Well, as cute as scorpions can be. His whole body becomes hot pink and he has the biggest widdle eyes (think those jumping spiders who wear raindrops on their heads type energy). He's also venomous as all hell, so his brothers HAVE to make sure that they continously call him "small, cute, and adorable" lest they suffer a week's worth of paralytic toxin. He can fit the palm of a hand and makes MC tie a little bow around his tail so he doesn't feel too bad about being under-dressed.

Beel, unfortunately, becomes a fly. A big fly (by fly standards), but a fly nonetheless. You wouldn't even know that it's him if he weren't traffic cone orange. Literally everyone panics when he gets "Poof!-ed" because it would only take some bozo with a swatter to put an end to the sweetest brother... Belphie never lets Beel out of his sight and even has a tiny leash so he can keep track of him if they have to go out. He's a lot easier to feed like this, but everyone has to resist that automatic urge to smack him away from their dinner plates.

Belphie ironically has the largest lesser form out of his brothers. He's a cow, more specifically a bull, but there's nothing special about him aside from the navy fur. He is a full grown bull and he loves to lord it over the others if they all get "Poof-ed!" at once. Also, good luck getting him to do ANYTHING in this form. He is a bull. If he does not want to move, he will not be moving. Not even Beel can carry him like this. He's the only brother who doesn't mind getting "Poof-ed!" all that much because of it.

What sort of parts of being a bird aren't that obvious?

Not sure at all what this means so I have to assume you mean like, things you wouldn't think about if you weren't a bird (therian/holothere)?

Idk. I think in trying to think of what being a bird would be like a mammal alterhuman would probably imagine having feather or beak phantom shifts or flight urges or something but not consider how frustrated they would get at the subtle ways people talk about or think about birds which you'd only feel are off if you are one. Growing up I had a lot of people think I was a freak because I would get mad at things like "vulture eating a dead chicken? haha cannibalism" or "cartoon birds that have teeth and hold things with their flight feathers" or "the entire concept of Maximum Ride" and it wasn't that big a deal. Which for my part I never considered other people didn't care and couldn't get why I did because I was understanding my own mind and body in a different way than they were. And I mean both a different way than they understood their own, and a different way than they understood mine.

Birds are just recognized in a way that's different from how mammals are, mostly re: the sweeping generalization where like, all birds are Birds™, except for Specific Birds, which are owls or swans or pelicans or etc. before they're Birds™. But even in the cases of animals that (most) people would look at and say "this is an owl/swan/pelican" before they'd say "this is a bird," the way mammals (not just humans) tend to understand them is only through the lens of their own behavior and physiology. Which is why I get so frustrated, personally (not saying judgmentally toward fellow bird alterhumans physical or otherwise who do have these experiences), when people seem to just assume if you're any kind of wingéd nonhuman, that your back must feel strange from the big fluffy angel wings, or that it would be totally weird to have a talon ph-shift and feel a claw on your heel, or being a common raven is like, poetic or something for me.

That annoyance, to me, is a part of being a bird that's less obvious than the fact itself that my wings and arms are homologous, or that having talons would probably feel closer to home than mammals might think because birds are actually digitigrade, or that ravens (and doves and swans and eagles and every other bird that has Symbolic Significance) are actually just wild animals and there's more to do with apricot cravings, instinctive echolalia, and misunderstanding social hierarchies when I hang out with humans or canines, than there is with gothic poetry.

Also our tails aren't just big fans of loose or stiff feathers omg there is like a whole flesh and bone structure how do folks still not realize this—

Things I’m changing/scripting into my Harry Potter DR

Dean and Seamus get together because honestly they were perfect for each other

Draco does NAWT get a redemption arc. Stay mad, pathetic little daddy’s boy.

Ravenclaw’s mascot IS A FUCKING RAVEN AND NOT AN EAGLE

Peeves doesn’t target me because I am not gonna go take a shower just to end up locked in the fucking bathroom

The Cursed Child arc doesn’t exist. Haven’t even read it but Mattheo is NOT gonna have any siblings. Voldemort only has one miserable child, sorry!!

Cedric doesn’t die, although I mainly only scripted this because he’s important for the plot of me and Mattheo’s relationship. Cedric makes Mattheo jealous, to say the least.

The Yule Ball is every year because why the hell not?

[vodika-vibes]

Vod! You can't just say: I'm not writing but did you know about this AU??? You know I love you going lore deep in your AUs!!!

How were they conceived and raised on Kamino? How was their upbringing? Or got nothing to do with Kamino like the merclones??? What are their dietary preferences?

Have you thought about Cody, the Bad Batch, Alpha 17, Mayday?

There are demons of sins?? (yeah yeah not only lust I mean), any djinn/genie, yukionna, jotunn, gorgon, banshee (that sounds poor Fives with cassandra luck), ghost king, selkie, kelpie (yes, the horse who lures you to water to eat you)??

You hit and run in one of the hyperfixation boxes, ner vod!!!

Well, if you're interested~

So the going theory is that the clones were born somewhere else and then brought to Kamino for study. The Republic (Palpatine) looked at these men with powers and thought, "Hmm, good army to use against the Jedi."

Tragically, for Palpatine, they're there because they want to be there and for no other reason. The moment a Kaminoan or one of the trainers does something that one of them isn't happy with, they're gone.

And then Palpatine has a different problem. That problem, of course, is an army 2 million strong of demons who want his head.

They're all brothers still, even with the differences between them. Their "demonic" traits develop at 3 or so. Jango is still their progenitor. That's what he does (he spores, like a mushroom?). But there are some genetic variances creating people like Emery and Omega.

Dietary wise, they mostly eat the same. However, there are some variances. The Clones that are water-based (you know, sirens, kappa, selkie) eat mostly seafood that they hunt themselves. The more fire based clones prefer their food spicy, while the ice based ones like their food more mild.

There are demons of sins. They're the Nulls. The Nulls are the Sins. I have a good reason for this, but I'm sure I don't have to explain it.

And if you can imagine it, then there's a clone of it. Dragons, djinn, kappa, kelpies, banshees. All of them.

And I have given some thought to some of the other clones.

Cody: Fire demon, he burns hot when he's angry, but normally being near him is like sitting in the sun on a nice spring day.

Hunter: A wolf/dog type demon, since he's canonically a tracker.

Wrecker: Earth type demon, he can cover himself in stone as a form of armor.

Crosshair: Eagle type demon. Technically, he can fly, but he can't use his sniper rifle and fly at the same time, but the eyesight is useful.

Tech: Dragon. He hordes knowledge and technology. Mostly looks like a normal human guy until he needs he wreck some shit.

Omega: Yuki-Onna. When she gets mad, her blonde hair goes white.

Echo and Fives: Raven demons. Too smart and competent for their own good. Normally, they look like normal human men, unless you look them in the eye. Technically, they're also the most "Cassandra" like in that they're harbingers.

Alpha-17: He's a fire demon. With horns and a tail, and he burns hot. Always. Tends to have flames flicking around his horns, and he controls if his flames burn or not.

Mayday: About as close to a werewolf as any of the clones get. The biggest difference is that he changes at will. When he's not changed, he looks like a human, unlike Wolffe and the Wolfpack.

Anyway! I hope you like these ideas~

The Eagle's Share

Tw: hunting and animal sacrifice.

Inspired by the incredible Fingon&Eagles relationship in Not In Vain by @polutrope!

-

In Barad Eithel celebrations were held in the middle of every bitter winter, a proud chasing away of the bitter frost Fingolfin's people so loathed.

There were dances, sparring games, and great hunts. Lalwen lead a masking ritual, a time of portents and heady magics; Fingolfin-king poured the mead and the wine, and passed to every cupped palm their due bold of miruvor he had brewed all summer, to each were given their due words of praise and courage.

He spoke and shone as once he had amidst the spluttering fires, a small animal in the Darkening calling to himself a hard, a pack to weather the long night within greater warmth.

Well-loved he was, Fingolfin of the Noldor; to him none were truer than the eldest of his sons, whose bowl was ever poured last, that it should be known the king favoured not his own blood unduly.

But Fingon went by himself, on the darkest nights before the lengthening of the days: and did not return until he had slain a great elk-of-the-woods, or a mad-eyed bear mother, and left the upon the highest peak for the eagles and falcons and ravens to feast upon.

Afterwards he joined the feasting, singing and harping as he went, at that hour when a grey light started to gleam dully to the East; and the music changed, the drums quickened into lighter reels, treacherous leaping staff-on-staff dances. He wore ribbons of goldcloth embroidered with copper in his hair, and about his neck necklaces with eagle feathers - long and sleek and just as golden.

The Great Eagles came not among the Eldar then, but to involve themselves in rare and dire matters; but some of them begot lesser creatures among their wild kin, and it was from such a strain that Fingon raised, and tended, and trained many a generation of bold hunting kestrels, amber-eyed falcons - even some rare grave and little-tamed eagles.

In the back of his aiming hand he inked an eagle, wings spread and proud. It had been the way of mourning in the Ice, when one died, and the body could not be buried; Fingolfin's grave never was seen by Fingolfin's heir.

Still the blood-price must be paid. Fingon went, and brought down his greatest beast yet, a woollen mammoth thick enough to feed a company for the march.

He left it to the wise birds of the realm. The blood gleamed red and slick on the snow, the viscera steaming enough to make his mouth water. As ever he gave them his thanks, begged their pity, praised the glory of their free flight, their hungering defiance, even as Morgoth made foul and weak so much of the land and the land's beasts.

Alone under the judging stars he wept, as he had not yet; a great grief was on him, and a will for revenge. Above all he denied Morgoth's design, that would wipe clean the skies and the earth, till all creatures were his servants, and no honor or memory of good deeds remained alive.

The birds came to feed. They fought among themselves at times, as was their way; yet they were solemn in their devouring, determined as they bit the meat out of the bone and bared it.

Their many eyes were in the night of nights a light of their own, ancient; and their cawing and their calling was insistent, even after all had fed - insistent for blood and vengeance, fierce and fierce enough to tear the silence in many halves. It made the white hills and the high firs tremble with urgency; Fingon's voice too rose, at last, and joined their defiance.

In the dark before a slow dawn rose, he started making ready for war.

The feasting changed with Fingolfin's end, ever less a celebration, more the smothering thrill that gathered, storm-like, in the hearts of the Eldar before a battle. His vassals came more often and from further, to deepen their counsels of war under the guise of a common visit, the trading of winter-gifts made anew into a deep renewal of vows.

Through great gates they went, marveling at the strength and beauty of the fortifications of the Noldor, and in the king's great chamber they bent over his left hand in greeting, that Fingon might clasp their necks and touch their cheeks in welcome.

But Maedhros of Himring alone kneeled at his feet and kissed the tattoo through the king's hawking gloves, his own cleaved right arm pressed against his heart.

So it was in Barad Eithel, that valiant realm, before the walls were broken, when the wild wings of Beleriand were revered.

Welp, when I sat down I'd meant to paint some mechs as Clan Snow Raven Alpha Galaxy, but the first couple turned out a bit too white on accident...

So here's some CSR Gamma Galaxy instead, because this is obviously easier to paint than feathers.

Only a Vapor Eagle and Mad Dog MKIII for now, and probably for the foreseeable future until the Mercenaries Kickstarter actually ships.

Alright here are some crossover ship names for characters I thought would be cool. This is for my RWBY X Last Pegasus stuff so yeah. I'll label things as such bc most of them are adults haha. I do have platonic/friendly ships because of cute interactions I've thought up. (I'll be sure to update as needed)

Also feel free to ask about them or ask about a ship because I would LOVE to talk about them (Especially Qrow, Ironwood, and Tyrian and whatever else bc I like em)

Romantic (canon/switchable/crushes)

Platonic (mostly with the younger ones or are mostly friends)

Crack ship (bc it was a cool thing/idea)

In RWBY AUs they're mostly older unless changed to canon ages in original story.

Hi Tumblr! While I struggle to get my sapphic, vampire manuscript through a publisher, I thought it would be fun to write a weekly blog about my daily obsession: horror movies! Particularly, gothic ones. Cobwebs and castle corridors give me life! So without further fanfare, I present the first of Ronan’s Bloody Sunday; today’s feature movie Roger Corman’s The Terror!  

The Terror was a weird one for me. Despite never watching it before, I believe I already had an idea what to expect from James Rolfe’s Monster Madness. Turns out, I had no idea. I’m still struggling. Unlike other surrealist experiences, I can’t even say it started out as clear. The very first scene is the legendary Boris Karloff walking through a spooky castle; only ending when he gets jumped scared by a skeleton (No context is ever given for this!) After the gloomy credits, it jumps to a wounded French officer (played by Jack Nicholson, in one of his first starring roles) limping through a moody shoreline. A shrouded woman (Sandra Knight, who does her best with the script) beckons him with a smile, and then the insanity truly starts. She tries to lure him into quicksand. She transforms into an eagle; because her soul is being charmed by a witch, using her magic mirror. She goes by two names: Helene and Ilsa. Jack is led to an apparently abandoned castle; which is inhabited by the Baron von Leppe (who - I guess - is supposed to be the character in the beginning, Karloff’s great performance a highlight): a suspicious and maddened nobleman. He’s being haunted by his wife, who he apparently murdered. As it turns out, his wife is the woman Jack is seeing, the officer becoming more and more obsessed with discovering the truth as the madness unfolds (like the transformed Helene: who pecks someone’s eyes out)…and then the madness becomes pure pandemonia. The final act is every character dropping bombshell after bombshell; the very fabric of the story becoming irreversibly altered by each revelation; each one pretty much happening a minute after the last. It all ends with an action-heavy spectacle of a finale: ocean waves come crashing into a secret, underground crypt, sweeping away the characters and their sin. Jack Nicholson barely manages to escape with Helene…only for Corman to pull one finale, gloriously spooky Halloween copout, as she literally melts into his arms.

If you couldn’t tell; the production was a complete clusterfuck. Its entire conception was based on Corman’s pragmatism: after filming The Raven, Karloff owed him a couple days more of work, so Corman had the wonderful idea of building an entire movie around him: him filming a couple scenes that didn’t have a working script. Five people (including Jack Nicholson, Corman himself, and none other then Francis Ford Coppola!) would end up taking the director’s seat, and the script was pretty much being written as they went; which explains the all-devouring plot-holes…yet, in spite of it all, I really enjoyed this movie. Much of the production was done by the excellent staff behind Corman’s Poe Cycle, and it has all of the same DNA: mist-shrouded forests, ancient castles layered with secret passages, and crypts filled with decaying cadavers. The movie absolutely oozes atmosphere. Deliciously gothic atmosphere, which is enough for me. The overblown acting, the cheesy (yet spooky) special effects, and the madness inducing script is just icing onto the moldy cake! It’s worth a watch if you can somehow dig up a copy. I’ll give this a bloody recommendation!

I am kicking the door open all the while dragging Matt and Bruce. Because I am having severe feelings about them but mainly about all of them with the kids. So here.

The boy had not been lucky enough- Edward Nashton’s voice whispered at the back of his mind- to have parents that had left behind estates and money. And he had been left in the unforgiving system that Gotham had.

Maybe it was pity. Maybe it was compassion. Or maybe it was simply him not willing to let go of a child that reminded him too much of himself.

But Bruce had taken him in. On a whim, as Alfred had said.

In retrospect, the older man was right. Bruce had no clue how to care for a child. His childhood was… strange, after all. And unlike him, Dick was fierce. Explosively angry. Bruce had been angry too, but it was less explosive hatred and a little more implosive fury.

He had left the child alone. Because Bruce didn’t know how to handle a child. But also because he was a little distracted by the investigation of the deaths of his ward’s parents. He didn’t know how else he could help the boy, so he had focused on getting the boy the justice he had not gotten.

Bruce sighed heavily at the boy sitting in one of the spare chairs in the Cave. Dick’s blue eyes were half full of terror, and half full of awe.

“You’re Batman?”

~ ♥~

He thinks that’s why he decided to keep going out on nightly ventures to help anyone he could hear. In very violent ways using the skills Stick had taught him. Because sometimes, the law wasn’t enough to keep criminals from getting the justice they deserved. Because sometimes, the respective services couldn’t- or wouldn’t- so anything.

Because people slipped through the cracks too often. Too easily. Especially people that many didn’t care for. That weren’t lucky enough to have a supportive community.

He rubbed at the still-healing cut on his lips.

Was Matt doing this an act of penance as much as an act of compassion? Maybe. Did he think of you and your mysterious disappearance in the past six nights he went out in a hoodie and a piece of cloth tied around his eyes? Maybe.

But did he feel good, finally being able to move and help the cries and begs for help?

Definitely.

Dionysus was the god of wine first, and the god of madness second. But Diwonuso was the opposite. He was the god of madness first and foremost.

He looked at the budding feathers and the way your ears were beginning to shift into a small set of wings, similar to the ones that Emaha had, but Diwonuso could see that it would not be white like the god of thieves or his kin. No, the feathers would be of an eagle’s. Your feet were steadily turning scaly, and akin to talons.

Diwonuso looked at your right arm and assumed that the arm- imbued with divinity that was forcing the mixture of legacies in your blood to express itself- was what was turning you this way.

If left alone, you’d become a monster. Turning to dust when slain but returning over and over again. That wouldn’t do.

Dionysus snapped his fingers and fed his blessing into the circlet that was slowly forming. Blood and wine. War and insanity.

The changing parts of you now would continue their transformation. Nothing more. Your face would remain human. So would everything else. It was a small mercy of his. Besides, the wing-ears of the Hermes kin and the Raven talons that some Apollo kin had would add character.

~ ♥~

“The second’s probably from a potential client.” He smoothly lied, not wanted Foggy to know that Elektra was in town. His best friend hated her for the state she had left Matt in during their college years. And well, Matt wanted to see what she was up to in New York. “So-”

“Are we still going to refuse the money from your ex?”

“You have an ex that works at Wayne Enterprises?” Karen asked, sounding very keen to know more.

Matt honestly didn’t know what he had with Karen at the moment. He cared for her, but his mind and heart were still a lot jumbled from his past formal relationship. The sudden appearance of Elektra certainly didn’t help. And neither did Frank Castle murdering people in his part of the city.

“That works? Karen, one of Matt’s ex is quite literally Bruce Wayne.”

“Foggy.”

“You dated Bruce Wayne?” She sounded very disbelieving. “How?”

“We had a mutual interest in someone else.” Matt felt his grin soften at the thought of you. “But they’re… gone now. So Bruce and I are- We aren’t really anything.”

It wasn’t like Matt had never thought about a relationship between him and Bruce, but it just didn’t feel right. So he always scrapped the thought before it could fully form.

~ ♥~

You took a step towards grandfather, and in the blink of an eye, he was on the floor, pinned under your sharp talons. The wing on the side of your head flared and angrily puffed up, and your crown spiked and ebbed.

“You’ve lived long enough. You’ve seen enough.” You hissed out. “You’ve most likely seen Ezio’s Brotherhood. You can’t use the modern Assassin Brotherhood as an excuse for your League.”

“The Creed is wrong.”

“Stay your blade from the innocent.” You said, and grandfather seemed to wince as your talons dug deeper into the stone floor. “You have not done so and neither have your bodyguards. Assassins kill to ensure peace, not to protect oneself.”

You stopped and tilted your head to the side, as if you were listening to something that he nor his grandfather could hear.

“Never compromise the Brotherhood. Hide in plain sight. The only one you have followed is the last one.” You pulled your talons away from grandfather and instead grabbed him to drag him to a stand. “Your League is nothing but a bastardisation of the Brotherhood.”

“A bastardisation that works. Better than the main stream.”

There was a shift in your stance, and Damian caught it. You suddenly looked to be a little more relaxed.

~ ♥~

Dick had come into contact with Matt Murdock after that stilted, defensive conversation with Bruce when the older man stared at the news showing one of the lawyers for Frank Castle during the Punisher’s trial. Because Dick was fourteen and nosy, alright?

Sue him.

The man had taken his call with a very clearly tired tone, but had been kind enough to answer the questions he had about himself and whatever he had had with Bruce. And Matt had been more willing to fondly talk about his two ex-lovers.

After that, Dick called the lawyer more. And when he frequented New York more often to lead the Teen Titans, it really wasn’t surprising that he visited the lawyer in person. Many times.

Because Matt had looked so lonely. And he was still Dick Grayson, a person experienced with dealing with wet, lonely cats. He had handled Bruce when the man was quiet and brooding and sad in general. He had been more than capable of warming up to Matt- another wet cat, albeit a little less pathetic- and making him feel a little better.

~ ♥~

Speaking of Matt, it had been a relief to hear that the lawyer was alive. And that Daredevil was too, even if there was a huge debacle with a false ‘Daredevil’ that killed people. Bruce never thought for a second that Matt was under that particular mask, but he had not been able to provide aid in a way that mattered.

Not when his attention had been focused mainly on Gotham, and the fact that Posion Ivy and the Scarecrow had been working together to produce a new strain of the Fear toxin.

Instead, Nightwing- Dick- had been the one to aid the real Daredevil expose Poindexter as the fake and Fisk’s crimes once more.

I don't know why you would have to drag Matt and Bruce anywhere in regards to me. But the kids!

Went "!!!??" at the mention of Eddie. It took me a few reads to understand what that part was about, but I know now. This Bruce is... more messy. He has less stability. And Dick is an angry child who lost everything. Like he did. Well, more than he did, as Eddie has pointed out.

Matthew! Beautiful boy who carries too much guilt that isn't really his to carry.

Veering away from AC a little to fucked up angel territory. I have feelings about this but that's actually for R to unpack and deal with!

Did Elektra and Bruce send them money? Matt's unpacking a lot of things too. But not really because it's Matt.

I don't have too much to comment on this section so instead I will simply be excited about Damian. It'd be so funny if R and Talia ended up with a weird relationship so that'd be Bruce and R.

14 year old Dick really tracked down Matt during the most complicated time in his life. I'm checking timeline later for if this is Teen Titans or New Teen Titans because he is 14 and those were in different locations but that's just for me. Anyways, wet cats.

Poor Bruce. Caught up in his duty, fighting his heart. I do wonder what Dick's involvement, if any, was in regards to Defenders/Midland Circle. Would read a good amount of Nightwing-Daredevil though.

Batdevil, my beloved. Written by you, beloved. They're so fucking messy and sad. I have absolutely no timeline for this fic, especially after I accidentally added a whole chapter, but I am excited (as always).
