GUESS WHO'S BACK TO RAMBLE HEHE

I'm sorry for the horrible ms paint doodles but I needed something to explain my Shadow Knights

anyways ramble under cut as always

cw mention of cannibalism and light gore (?)

SHADOW KNIGHTS!!

Undead fellas /silly

In all seriousness shadow knights are well, yeah undead, a subcategory of undead in my rewrite, specifically knights of our dear shadow lord

humans affected by sk magic

there's humans like brian and alexis that have been exposed to large amounts of shadow knight magicks, which made them have the same 'veins' sk's have under their eyes, but still be human (ie. alexis' curse)

usually there's no side effects to large amounts of exposure to shadow knight magic other than mood swings (irritability or rage)

incomplete (premature) sk's

a 'premature' shadow knights eyes are their original eye color with very small hints of red in them, as if alluding to the side of themselves they pick to repress typically only magicks users can see the red of their eyes, and the 'veins' they have around them. to the untrained human eye their eyes look their original color but don't have any life in them

they have a hard time controlling their temper, still attempting to retain a sense of humanity that they have long lost

immortal sk's

to become immortal a shadow knight must kill either their lord or the person closest to them, and ingest their heart (as mentioned in gene's story), or alternatively, they must take countless lives of the innocent

once immortal they may gain different abilities, or a boost to the ones they already own. ie. Gene's mind manipulation working without having to touch the person (unlike his mortal counterpart)

another example is Zenix' flame manipulation (despite not being a magicks user)

general shadow knight facts

they're smelly, especially when having recently emerged from the nether shadow knights have an incontrollable appetite, similar to a

zombie, they can eat human food but it doesn't sit very well with them (the only thing that'll control their appetite is human flesh)

there's certain shadow knights who's bodies cease to exist (or are reclaimed by the earth in the mortal realm). in cases like those they are made new vessels of materials of the nether

shadow knights stop aging once they gain their immortality

Shadow Knights hibernate in order to heal their bodies in the overworld, their healing can be sped if left in a place that'll connect it to it's undead roots (morgue, graveyard, etc), due to the fact they feed off of the dead spirits lingering, using what little energy is left of them to heal.

Shadow Lord > Sergeants > Commanders > Magicks Users > Soldiers

with the hierarchy set above we go

shad > gene > zenix (pre betrayal) > sasha > vylad (before caught) > glenda

in terms of the shadow knight 'rebels' we have (in strength)

vincent > zenix (mostly due to his instability) > vylad > laurence > amethyst (this is before the rebellion is properly set in place, still during season 1)

anyways thank you for attending my ted talk /silly

[revxwrites]

Not fully sure, but I wanted to find some kind of redeeming quality of him, I don't think he'd betray the people that saved his sister from the curse/magicks that were used by Zane.

When you think abt it when the war is coming to Phoenix Drop his companion Grey Wind isn't anywhere to be seen, maybe the wolf knew that wasn't the true Brian. (from what I remember, feel free to correct me)

MCD Rewriters: What happens to Brian in your rewrite?

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi, Steph - I was wondering if you know any fics where John fakes his death? I know you have the Reverse Reichenbach list (which is cool), but mahbe you know any where John fakes his death AFTER TRF???

Maybe to investigate Moriarty's network on his own, or to take down Mary or something? I read some cool theories about this and was just curious if anyone actually wrote this :))) THANKS A MILLION ❤

Hey Lovely!

AHHHH I was gonna suggest my Rev. Reichenbach lists :(

Reverse Reichenbach

Reverse Reichenbach Pt. 2

----

Specifically after TRF? Hmm:

Hide and Seek by Arwen Jade Kenobi (T, 6,934 w., 1 Ch. || Angst, Reverse Reichenbach, Mycroft is a Dick, Depression, Case Fic, Friendship, Reunion) – Pseudo sequel to "The Refining Fire." "You owe him the truth, and you owe me the proof that will convince him that I had no part in this."

I'd be Lost Without my Blogger by shadenc (T, 8,057 w., 6 Ch. || Rev. Reich, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Pining) – "There are several snipers with their guns pointed at your head this very moment. Now, if you look up you'll see John and myself on the rooftop of Bart's. Understand the game yet?" "Shoot me. Let him go and shoot me." "Noble now, are we? Unfortunately, you are not the one who will make that decision."

When Evening Falls So Hard by Ballykissangel (K+, 8,251 w., 2 Ch. || Heavy Angst, Hurt, Comfort, No Slash) –  All the kings horses, all the kings men couldn't put John Watson and Sherlock Holmes back together again. Post reichenbach prequel to We Might Not Make It Home. Returning Sherlock never dreamed they would end like this, he never thought he would be watching a shattered John standing on the roof edge of Barts leaving a death note as Sherlock begs him not to jump.

When to Let Go by KendylGirl (M, 22,109 w., 8 Ch. || Friends to Lovers, Reverse Reichenbach, Sacrifice, Forgiveness, Angst, Love, Implied Drug Use) – What if it were John who had to die to thwart Moriarty's plans? John's supposed death shatters Sherlock, and when he returns, it will challenge the pair to forge a path of forgiveness, to peace, and to find a way back to each other. Part 1 of When to Let Go

Impossible to Feign by achray (M, 49,204 w., 12 Ch. || TRF Rewrite / Reverse Reichenbach, Suicidal Ideations / Discussions, Drug Use/Abuse, Mutual Pining, Friends With Benefits, John Accepts his Sexuality, Anxious Sherlock, Meddling Mycroft, Depression, Hallucinations, Secret Agent John, BAMF John, Reunion, Make-Up Sex, Ambiguous Ending) – Sherlock leant forward, his long fingers curving round to grip John’s.“I won’t let him win,” he said, eyes hard. “I will do whatever it takes to get you out.”

The Burning by SrebrnaFH (M, 60,658 w., 24 Ch. || Reverse Reichenbach, Suicide, Depression, Hurt Sherlock / John, Separation, BAMF John, Good Big Brother Mycroft, Angst, Implied/Referenced Torture, Fake Character Death, Rescue Mission, Reconciliation / Reunion, Hospitalization, Marriage Proposal, Illnesses, Physical Therapy, Happily Ever After) – Something went very, very wrong. John had seemed, if not happy, then reasonably content with his life. Sherlock had never predicted something like THIS might have happened. Not in his worst nightmares. He was the lousiest friend ever, apparently. At least Mycroft found him something to occupy his mind with, so that he didn't have to go back to 221B and stare at the walls and the chair, where John Watson would never sit again.

If anyone has any I missed, please do add them!

Here we are again with my ms paint doodles (technically this is a continuation from last post)

Anyways sneek peek at my own personal Gene design but that doesn't matter

ONWARD WITH THE RAMBLE! /silly

cw mentions of cannibalism and gore-ish (?)

so, shadow knights scars glow when they're in their SK form, as well as their eyes going entirely red. their scars don't emit much light, but there's SK's like Sasha who are practically covered in head to toe with scars (mostly due to how she died) which makes her emit a decent amount of light to walk caves

silly thing i forgot to mention is that they also have fangs (as again mentioned in gene's story). this allows them to easily consume their carnivore diet easier.

with that said, when in SK form, incomplete shadow knights tend to go feral easier than immortal ones ie. Laurence during the werewolf wedding. zenix before he gained his immortality

FORGOT TO ADD!

the redder a shadow knights eyes are, the less humanity they retain, no shadow knight is truly inhumane, even after their immortality is reached. ie. gene still has a bit of blue in his eyes.

the only person of the shadow lord's army to be TRULY inhumane is Shad himself and it shows. using young people for his bidding (zenix, brian and zane to an extent), doing whatever is necessary to fulfill his goals.

---

also when i meant they're stinky, i meant it, they are reanimated walking corpses after all, they typically smell of either: rot, ash, sulphur or in very rare occasions metallic (makes sense if they died with armor)

their armor is still very much a work in progress for me because all armor i've designed so far is like- normal-ish?? chainmail, iron and such

fantasy armor isn't my strong suit :sob:

what i DO know is that sergeants have a lil bandana / arm band that shows their rank

netherite DOES exist in my rewrite but it's just another type of metal, more resistant to heat and the elements and such, but extremely hard to obtain since SK's don't have access to lots of gold since it's been mostly mined out close by their fortress, but even so no shadow knight knows how to properly work the metal

the only one that figured out was vylad, who learned from a traveling group of piglins one day in his usual 'disappear until i'm most needed TM' moments even so, since he's a guy light on his feet, and armor would weigh him down a lot, he only has some leg/knee guards and shoulder guards

[revxwrites]

HELLO PEOPLE, GUESS WHO'S BACK! I took all week to finish this because i realized 9 of 12 of these characters didn't have a proper design for my rewrite :sob:

BUT ANYWAYS, design notes under the cut, plus explanations for certain design/ name choices and some silly headcanons n notes!

∘•···············•∘ʚ ♡ ɞ∘•················•∘

Anaphiel "Aphmau" Phoenixlance

> Anaphiel; Herbrew: branch of God. A reference to how she's a reincarnation/ descendant of Irene.

>Phoenixlance is the last name she adopts once arriving to Phoenix Drop, making it appear as if Garroth and her were married (they in fact aren't).

>Anaphiel loves collecting small things, like feathers, rocks and flowers.

>Might not be the strongest, but she's a really good builder.

Garroth Phoenixlance (Ro'meave)

>He panicked when asked his last name, saying the first thing that came to mind, hence the origin Phoenixlance (begrudgingly he had to pick up lance training to make it believable).

> Garroth looks eerily similar to his father, causing him to have facial dysmorphia.

>His body is extremely stocky, making someone short like Anaphiel very small.

>Despite no longer living in his childhood home, he greatly misses his younger brother.

Laurence Kilgore-Zvhal

>Kilgore; Irish: son of the short lad. He might not be the tallest guy, but his handsomeness makes up for it.

>Adalhard; German: Noble Strength. He's a new guard, yet he's extremely noble to Phoenix Drop once he's brought to.

>His hair grew out ever since he left Boboros, he ties it with a piece of his deceased brother's cape.

>Dante keeps a communication amulet close to his heart, he isn't allowed to guard Anaphiel inside of meetings due to it.

>Dante's favorite flowers are Forget me Nots. He mentioned they used to grow around his home village.

Katelyn "The Fire Fist" Harlow

>Harlow; English: Army Hill.

>Member of the Jury of Nine. She has passive magicks which allow her to punch so fast her fist turns into flames.

>Her ears give away her status as a magicks user, which she hides with her side bangs.

>Katelyn loves cookies, her favorites being Shortbread cookies Nana makes.

Zane Ro'meave

>Wears a faceveil due to an accident he had.

>The people of O'khasis say he's like a phantom of sorts, some don't believe the High Priest is real, yet he very much is.

>Zane has very shaky arms and hands, many don't know the reason.

>He keeps his hair long to hide his face.

>Has poliosis, which makes some spots of his hair white, his lashes are white too.

>Zane loves his mother's Lemon Cake.

Aaron Lycan

>Ultima Werewolf.

>He hides his eyes with a red piece of fabric (it used to be from his son's cape).

>His necklaces hold meaning, he has one of his son's milk fangs, and a Crescent Moon Charm, which he uses to transform into werewolf form at will (reference to ep. 70 S1 where Aphmau uses one with Lucinda's guidance).

>Due to repressing his werewolf side for years, he is unable to turn without the assistance of his Moon Charm.

>Not much is known about the Ultima in this universe.

Lucinda Adie

>Adie; Latin: from Hadria. Hadria is a disctrict name in Pikoro, more specifically where the Lord and most nobles reside.

>Probably one of very few witches that wears makeup, she has a full routine each morning.

>Reincarnation of Menphia the Fury.

>Her hair is orange, but when she began practicing witchcraft her magicks became imbued with her hair, making it appear different.

Naname Ashida

>Naname; Japanese:  七 means "seven." 愛 means "love, affection, fondness."

>Short for her name is Nana, she prefers it over her full name.

>Mei'fwa, her fur color is black. Her whiskers are sensitive.

>Practices Animation Magicks, unbeknownst to her she can extend her magicks to more than reanimating dolls.

Nicole Von Ronsenburg

>Despite being the Lord's daughter, she had no interest truly in ruling, loving to fight.

>Her fist is said to be as strong as Iron.

>Her pet fox Roxy, is quite rare, since artic foxes aren't meant to live in areas like Scaleswind.

Vylad Pineglade (Ro'meave)

>Shadow Knight. Has a stab scar on his back.

>People don't know of his existence, so he adopted a new last name to distance himself from his previous life.

>Has the choppiest hair in all of Ru'aun. He cuts it himself with a dagger.

>Conceals his face from everyone, not many know why.
