"The Many Below, the Woundtree - my god, my hated child... The exact same voice that bellows in my head about the reckoning that’s to come for all of us unworthy sinners... is a mouth without a face. A pitiful thing that feasts upon carrion when we don’t have richer meat to offer it."

Monster (Touchstarved MC Rewrite)
I've been really loving the songs from Epic: The Musical and decided to do a lyrics rewrite of my favourite song from the Underworld Saga, "Monster," for the Touchstarved MC, because I thought it was fitting, possibly for an MC turning to the dark side.
I did a lyrics rewrite for another song from Epic for my Alchemist!MC and his mentor a while ago, but I didn't change too many of the lyrics, so I might revisit that one in the future.
MC: How has everything been turned against us?
How did suffering become so endless?
How am I to finally wash this blood away?
Or do I need to change?
MC: I'm surrounded by the ghosts of minds they’ve lost,
Haunted by the blood and death that I have caused.
What if the greatest threat we'll find is not the mist,
But this?
MC: What if I'm the monster?
What if I'm in the wrong?
What if I'm the Soulless that's been lurking in the Fog?
These hands of mine had killed them.
What if I must bear the guilt?
What if after this curse goes away,
I’ll remain a monster, still?
What if I'm the monster…
MC: Does the temple bear the guilt when they kill?
Do their deaths keep the priests up in the night?
Or do they take and tame in the name of faith,
And believe they have served their gods right?
MC: When a childhood friend makes a promise and then
Stabs the back of the one they swore to save,
Did they learn to be colder when they got older,
And now they can save themselves the pain?
MC: When an exiled mage builds a child a cage,
Does she fear all the lines that she must cross?
Or she commands respect, keeps her feelings in check
To find answers regardless of the cost.
MC: When a traveller goes unravelling the mind
Of a stranger who helped them, are they vile?
Or do they have no say, made to drive insane
And cursed to survive?
MC: If I became the monster, and threw
that guilt away…
Would that make me stronger?
Would it keep the curse at bay?
If I became the monster to everyone but me…
What if there’s no price too high,
As long as I am free?
If I became the—
Caravanners: Monster…
MC: Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.
Traveller: Monster…
MC: And deep down I know this well.
MC: I lost my best friend, I lost my mentor, my faith,
Too many lives slain, I cannot wait!
I must find the key to what I seek, or else more will bleed.
So if I must face down dangerous trials and battles,
I'll go where the Senobium won't travel,
And if I must send another innocent to madness
in an instant so that I can end this…
MC: Then I'll become the monster!
I will deal the blow!
And I'll become a monster like none they've ever known!
So what if I'm the monster tearing through the Shroud?
I must become the monster if I’m to make it out!
Priests: Monster!
MC: I’ll find the key!
Syndicate: Monster!
MC: And if I must—
Mentor: Monster!
MC: Oh, ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.
Kuras, Leander, Vere, Ais, Mhin: Monster!
MC: I’ll become the monster…

what are rat terriers like? differences between big ones and little ones? your oubby is so pretty
also, (not to start discourse) is there a reason why they have docked(?) tails?
Thank you!
They're like if you had a small little criminal who is also your friend <3 Honestly they're a pretty nice middle of the road dog. You've got a little buddy to go do things with but most of them are also happy to just cuddle. Very versatile, prey driven, biddible. Pichael's hobbies include digging, worming, and eating lots of snacks.
I don't have any experience with miniatures but they're *supposed* to be just scaled down versions. As far as I know there isn't an actual split, it's just whether they're under or over 15" tall.
Rat terriers are allowed full tails, docked tails, or natural bobtails. The later two are typically preferred for showing conformation so you'll see it more often, and it's from their history as working breeds ("injury prevention").

The prevailing belief of many ASTV viewers seems to be that Miguel O'Hara is an actual, literal vampire. Do you think this funny.
Nope! <3 it shows such a lack of willingness to do even Basic Research that would take maybe two seconds to look up that it makes me want to Kill. like. cmon. he has Fangs because he's half-spider...,,.,
They're hollow, and whenever he Bites People, it is specifically with the intent to POISON them with the VENOM from his FANGS-- he also Says That every time he does it, like he's an anime character, lol, and it means a lot to me. we don't know the exact makeup or potency of his venom, but we Do know that it's fast-acting, paralytic, and (apparently, thankfully) non-toxic, at least.

❛ no matter what you think of yourself , i will always think you are worth loving . ❜ whichever way around of combos, aziracrow and raphzi and you decide setting/timeline <3
Soft Words, Soft Skin
Kind, gentle words, and it was not the first time Crowley had heard such a sentiment from Aziraphale, but as much as it was appreciated, it was harder to really believe. After all, he was a demon---and not just any demon, he was the demon that introduced sin to humanity. And Aziraphale was...Aziraphale. Good and compassionate, the best of all the angels, in Crowley's opinion. It never ceased to amaze him that he could possibly love him, and he certainly didn't think he deserved that love.
Yet that love was his all the same, and the fact that they were lying in their bed, the angel's arms around him, was proof.
"Mmm," Crowley made a soft noise of protest while his hands trailed down to slip underneath Aziraphale's shirt and trace aimless patterns against his skin. "I really don't deserve you, angel."
