The Monsters of Eastridge: DOAI Playlist

Description: At this point, might as well make a playlist for everything. Welcome to my own personal demon-filled hell, this is mostly based on lyrics, vibes, or both 🎃 (Edit: Due to recent fixations, this now also includes some Sitcom AU stuff.)

(Yeah this is made mostly for @spookmuth but also just anyone else who’s interested in my music taste/how my thoughts work. Will update the post whenever the playlist updates, have fun! Also footnotes will be in brackets because I like footnotes)

Edit: Now on spotify! Courtesy of @witheredallium <3

“Happy Face” by Jagwar Twin [I have had an animatic for this jangling around my brain for actual several months oh my god]

“Turn the Lights Off” by Tally Hall

“A1 - It’s just a burning memory” by The Caretaker [Yeah idk how well this actually fits since it’s based on a song from like. The 30s. But I think it’s obligatory for any analog horror ever lol]

"I Can't Decide" by The Scissor Sisters [This one I got inspo from havoc-bloom's playlist/clip of Pastra finding it. A few of these are, actually, lol] [Edit: I have now realized just how well this fits Clyde in the sitcom au and I am once again plagued by art ideas 👀]

"I'M Sane" by Axie [Me when I torture the innocent with horrid monsters and become one myself. but I'm a little silly about it teehee~ 😜]

"The Circus" by Toby Fox [This popped up on shuffle when I was drawing Clyde once and my brain refused to let go of the vibes™ ever since]

"Animal Cannibal (Possibly in Michigan)" by Buckshot Princess [I would've put the one by Karen Skladany but it's not on apple music 😔 sad. This cover's really nice tho]

"The Dismemberment Song" by Blue Kid [Same reasoning as "I'M Sane," nyehehe. Also this song really feels like it's ripped out of a musical number. If you told me it was I'd believe you.]

"The Mind Electric" by Miracle Musical

"Horror Show" by K-Modo [You ever just. Think about why Lankmann does the things he did? Like what's his game here?]

"Dance of Corpse (feat. Hatsune Miku)" by Kikuo [this might also spiral into an animatic lol. Anyway do me a solid and go look up the music video, turn on the official english subtitles and come back to me.]

"The Nowhere King" by The Centaurworld Cast

"Nothing Changes" by Jewelle Blackman, Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer, and Kay Trinidad [this musical makes me feel. so many things. And I just think the vibes/lyrics of "why try when you'll only end in misery" might fall into the category of vibes here idk idk]

"Murders" by Miracle Musical

"Kitchen Fork" by Jack Conte [I don't remember exactly why I put this here rn but I just know this is an Alex song. It's so beautifully haunting and passionate stg] [Edit: yeah definitely an Alex song]

"Meet Me in the Woods" by Lord Huron ['kay I know the vibes are probably off but look at the lyrics and tell me it shouldn't go here]

"A Crow's Trial" by Vane Lily [Look man I can’t explain this one exactly but just trust me on it]

"You're F****d" by Ylvis [Yeah I put this one here as a joke song. Every single character in here is SO doomed by the narrative, I'm sorry Alex but it's true. teehee~]

"UNCANNY / ft. KAFU" by kian [I actually couldn't find this one on apple music but galactinqq was right about this being an Alex song and I'm putting it on the post]

"Raising the Dead!" by Jessica Law [Styx, you madlad, this is SUCH a Lankmann song oh my god]

“Hymn for a Scarecrow” by Tally Hall [“Simon isn’t even in the series yet, though” My guy it’s called Hymn for a Scarecrow and it’s Tally Hall what else do you want me to do. I love Simon so much I miss him already <3]

“Break My Mind” by DAGames

“In the Mood” by Glenn Miller [this one was in Vol 1! So I found it and I’m putting it here <3]

“Pictures” by Kyle Allen Music [I mean technically the series is videos but whatever. This song fits sue me]

“Ruler of Everything” by Tally Hall [I saw the words “mechanical hands” on a DOAI fanart once and it jumpstarted an idea that refuses to leave me. Turns out it fits VERY well holy crap]

"I'll Be There for You (Theme from Friends)" by The Rembrandts [shoutout to froggydrawz's own sitcom AU playlist for more material for me eheheheh ✌️ I'll be putting a few of those here]

"I'm Still Standing" by Taron Egerton [sitcom exclusive because canon Alex is fucking dead /lh]

"Who is She (Reprise)" by Kimiko Glenn [I apologize for those who came here for a normie-ass DOAI playlist, I promise it started out that way but y'know that's fixations for ya. Anyways I added this one on a whim because it gave off veldigun!Alex AU vibes. Might fit with other stuff idk do with that what you will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

"Soft Bitch" by Rio Romeo [pretty sure it was spookmuth that made a sitcom AU art inspired by this song and I love it]

"Runaway" by AURORA [secret-spirit if you see this at all just know this was your doing (/pos). This is like, my favorite AURORA song and seeing you do an Alex art in the whiteboard to this song sparked a primal "holy shit" moment in me]

"Lose Control" by Teddy Swims [I was doodling in the DOAI whiteboard when my mamá started playing this in the other room and my brain immediately went "oh my god what if Clyde and Winfrey"]

"Soft Apocalypse" by Charming Disaster [Once again, everybody give it up for Styx's music taste, this is making my brainworms go mad with art ideas 👏👏👏 sitcom AU song, btw]

[benny-the-spaceman]

one of these days im going to release my tlm drafting headcanons from my notes app purgatory and that day is Today.

HERE'S HOW I THINK LEGO MOVIE CHARACTERS WOULD PREPARE AND MAKE DRAFTS

...under the cut

Batman

• Fairly good at drawing. Somehow able to draw straight lines without a ruler perfectly fine every single time but otherwise nothing super noteworthy (he does brag about this constantly however)

• Drafts in white and yellow posca pen??? will use white colored pencil for finer detail however, specifically one of those mechanical colored pencils

• Drafts on black paper because he thinks it makes his designs cooler (it doesn't)

• Dimensions in imperial and would be annoyed if you dare even *insinuate* he use metric. no justification here

• Doodles around his drafts, specifically likes to doodle bats and himself because he, once again, thanks it makes his drafts cooler (the bats kinda do)

• Refuses to leave notes on his designs. you either know what to do or you don't

• Does however write his drawing title obnoxiously large

• Used autocad for like a day, hated it, switched to solidworks and never went back

• Buys autodesk licenses for the rest of the masterbuilders. unwillingly, mind you, wyldstyle just knows his credit card information and abuses it

Benny

• Good at drawing exclusively spaceships. big shock i know

• The king of eyeballing a line or an angle and then labelling it however the fuck he wants. proper measurements take time he could spend drafting or making more spaceships, he'll save measuring and straightedges for drafts he deems important enough

• Uses blueprinting paper. there's no practical purpose for this, he just digs it

• Drafts with whatever writing utensil is on hand

• He gets inspired quite often so he usually keeps a drafting notepad on him just in case

• Leaves a *lot* of notes. Most of them are completely unnecessary and are a funny contrast to his haphazard dimensioning

• Pretty dang good at autocad! Usually reserves it for projects that require a lot more collaboration however

• Usually drafts in metric, can dimension in imperial but prefers not to

• 100% sets autocad to the light background like a monster

• Do not give him any 3d modelling software, he might blow up the computer

Emmet

• Either really good or really bad at drawings (obvs leaning towards bad. we remember the break in plans)

• Dimensions in imperial. I cant justify this one he just does. god bless america or something idk

• Owns a couple drafting pencils but rarely uses them, most of the time he drafts in marker or pen much to the chagrin of anyone who needs to read his drafts (or delight if you're unikitty)

• Started learning how to use autocad after taco tuesday and he's actually pretty good at it! he does use an architectural dimstyle for everything though which is particularly annoying when he's quite often not drafting buildings now

• Has labelled and colored layers 👍 enough said

• Uses disgustingly thick lineweights. horrible.

• Rarely if ever 3d models so he's not good at it, he mostly works on things that 2d conveys better anyways

• Although he's not the best drafter of the master builders, his construction background makes him the best at reading drafts, give him a unikitty draft and he can decipher it like it's nothing

Metalbeard

• Probably the best at drafting of the master builders, he's got the age advantage and lots of practice from making ships

• Drafts in pencil, quill, or charcoal depending

• Who needs straightedges or angle stencils when youre basically a pirate cyborg, expect robot like precision

• Doesn't use standard measuring conventions, instead opts to use the dumbest things possible. The Sea cow's units of measurement were seagulls. It isnt that he cant do normal units of measurement, he just prefers his made up ones

• Makes his drafting paper by himself

• Pretty good with 2d and 3d modelling surprisingly. He doesn't like either, however, he much prefers drafting on paper

• Leaves an average amount of notes on his drafts but has the most disgustingly fancy cursive and writes in his piratey english. Often a nightmare to read if you aren't used to his writing

• Will sometimes do blueprint swaps with Benny wherein they critique each other's work. not sure when they started doing it, but it's become a weekly activity for them

Unikitty

• Worst drafter of the main masterbuilder crew. Most people think it's because she's a cat but no she just doesnt take drafting seriously in the slightest

• Drafts like she's making an arts and crafts project. She has put several bottles of glitter on singular drafts and she will do it again

• Dimensions in rainbows, no knows what this means other than emmet

• Gives the longest, most complicated titles possible

• No such thing as straight lines

• Is entirely capable of drafting properly, just refuses to

• Leaves notes that are entirely unrelated to the draft. she wont tell you how youre supposed to connect two objects but she *will* tell you about the sandwich she ate while making the draft

• Doesnt use autocad, looks too boring

• Didnt use any 3d modelling softwares until she realized you can change the appearance of materials. that was a game changer. still much prefers drafting on paper though

• Likes drafting with emmet sometimes since he seems to be the only person who understands her drawings. to this day no one understands how he does it

Vitruvius

• Going blind has, surprisingly, not made him much worse at drafting, just changed his process a bit

• Drafts in pencil

• Probably the person who least frequently drafts of the main masterbuilders. On account of just not needing to and also on account of being dead

• Dimensions in the old anglo-saxon units of measurement

• Doesn't title his drafts and doesnt see a point in doing so

• Leaves the most vague, utterly confusing notes on his drawings. theyre still related to the drawings unlike unikitty's notes, but theyre very odd

• Doesn't use autocad or 3d modelling softwares, partially because he wouldnt really be able to on account of being blind but also partially because he doesn't really know what they are

• There isnt really much to say about his drafting skills he's about as normal of a drafter as a masterbuilder can be

Wyldstyle

• An engineering teacher's dream student. She may not have the amount of experience metalbeard has but she's still very skilled

• Doesn't like drafting on paper and won't if she doesn't have to

• When she does draft on paper she uses a drafting mechanical pencils. she also 100% collects them

• dimensions in metric to exactly 3 decimal places

• leaves very few if any notes (always very concise ones if included)

• has a case of staedtler stencils that she bought 4 years ago and never uses

• picked up a habit of doodling on drafts from batman but will never admit she got the habit from him

• Autocad PRO. Also really damn good at solidworks and fusion. Give this girl a computer and she'll give you a motorcycle assembly within the hour

• Specializes in automotives

• Spends time with Emmet on the weekends teaching him how to use digital drafting softwares (this process was incredibly frusturating at first but gets easier with time)

Ruler of Everything:

“S5 John”

Welcome to the Internet:

“The curse of knowing too much.”

Lyrics below the line!

Ruler of Everything:

Juno was mad, he knew he'd been had So he shot at the sun with a gun Shot at the sun with a gun Shot at his wily one only friend

In the gallows or the ghetto In the town or the meadow In the billows even over the sun Every end of the time is another begun

You understand mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything (ah) Ruler of everything (ah) I'm the ruler of everything in the end

Do you like how I dance? I've got zirconium pants Consequential enough to slip you into a trance Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk? I have a wonderful wife, I have a powerful job She criticizes me for being egocentric

You practice your mannerisms into the wall If this mirror were clearer, I'd be standing so tall I saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill I was observing the birds (circle in for the kill)

I've been you, I know you, your facade is a scam You know you're making me cry, this is the way that I am I've been living a lie, a metamorphical scheme Detective undercover, brotherhood, objective, obscene Oh, no, no, oh yeah

Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an, "Oh my God, I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell, another story to tell Another time piece ringing the bell" Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end? No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool, although you're only a man So give it up and smile

Do you hear the flibbity jibbity jibber jabber With an, "Oh my God, I've got to get out of here or I'll have another Word to sell, another story to tell Another time piece ringing the bell" Do you hear the clock stop when you reach the end? No, you know it must be never ending, comprehend if you can But when you try to pretend to understand You resemble a fool although you're only a man So give it up and smile

You understand mechanical hands Are the ruler of everything (ah) Ruler of everything (ah) I'm the ruler of everything In the end

Without looking down, gliding around Like a bumbling dragon, I fly Scraping my face on the sky Oh, no, no, oh, yeah

Take this quirky quiz Obama sent the immigrants to vaccinate your kids

Could I interest you in everything all of the time? A little bit of everything all of the time? Apathy's a tragedy, and boredom is a crime Anything and everything, all of the time Could I interest you in everything all of the time? A little bit of everything all of the time? Apathy's a tragedy, and boredom is a crime Anything and everything, all of the time

You know, it wasn't always like this

Not very long ago, just before your time Right before the towers fell, circa '99 This was catalogs, travel blogs, a chatroom or two We set our sights and spent our nights waiting For you! You, insatiable you Mommy let you use her iPad; you were barely two And it did all the things we designed it to do Now, look at you! Oh, ha, look at you! You, you! Unstoppable, watchable Your time is now; your inside's out; honey, how you grew And if we stick together, who knows what we'll do? It was always the plan to put the world in your hand

(Laughs)

Could I interest you in everything all of the time? A bit of everything all of the time? Apathy's a tragedy, and boredom is a crime Anything and everything, all of the time Could I interest you in everything all of the time? A little bit of everything all of the time?

(warning: contains strong language)

reasoning behind songs under the cut!

these are a bit of a mess and are anywhere from "viking" to "ruby" to "navigator" to "kinda sapphire-ish??" to "one's feelings about the other" to "both of them" to "general vibe". there's also a few songs that got cut but still kinda hit the vibe that i might talk abt some other time??? i dunno man this playlist was a catastrophe to make. ANYWAY

Ruler Of Everything: "you understand mechanical hands are the ruler of everything, ruler of everything, i'm the ruler of everything in the end" // Viking. i don't really need to elaborate here, it's just Viking.

Gratitude: "but when i think of you, and what you've done to me, you took away my hope, you took away my fantasy, i once had lots of pride, the world was in my hands, i lived way at the top in castles made of sand" // gestures in the vague direction of Viking and Ruby. man i don't even know what's happening over there. this is a bit of a Recency Bias song bc i first heard it like right before lore really kicked off so it was fresh in my mind

Monsters Nearby: "only get so far putting off those dreams of yours [..] thinking of all these strange things when you should rest, it's hard to sleep like this when there's monsters nearby" // Ruby! and, like, of course i'm going to add the song that keeps making me think of the "You cannot sleep, there are monsters nearby" message. "And that voice behind the polarized advice can be the same" is about Viking, though.

New Invention: "oh i can't say no, i'm losing control! i'm having bad dreams, and nothing you can do will keep the bad dreams away from me until i fall asleep. bad dreams! despite your good intentions, that girl is like an architect and i am just the new invention!" // Ruby and Viking! if i did an animatic to any song off this playlist it would be New Invention. goddamn. (also, tViking's design reminds me a bit of eFalse, and roenais's Empires animation to this song lives in my head rent-free)

Sleepwalk: "bad thoughts give me bad dreams and my bad dreams make me get up and walk. bad thoughts give me bad dreams and my bad dreams make me sleepwalk." // oh my god Ruby and Sapphire. the ominous mood encapsulates everything about Sapphire to me, especially before we knew who Saph actually is and she was just "Ruby sleepwalks and leaves ominous signs". it's dark and foreboding and i love it.

Hello, Again: "find a mechanist, a mechanism, working one-by-one! with a busted up database, i'm losing the chase, but i'll say hello again, hello, just who have i become?" // the whole conversation about fixing things, and how that's become a reoccurring theme with Sapphire as well - switching from Ruby being the broken one to Viking being the one needing to be fixed. plus the whole "Ruby and Viking meeting across loops" thing - hello again, hello, just who can i become?

Put Me to Work: "set me off, see what i'm worth! turn me on, i go berserk! i don't care if i get hurt! no, i don't care, just put me to work! [..] i will replace you, replace you, replace you [..] and i won't care when they get hurt, no i don't care, just put me to work!" // Viking is, uh. a lot. hyperfocused to the point of self-destruction. this does bleed over to Ruby too, though, what with zir being desperate to be something Viking won't throw away when he stops seeing zir as useful and Navigator's warning of "don't let him break you". i guess the real question is: would Viking care if they get hurt?

Reliable Narrator: "did you forget that i am not a pacifist? the scar we'll earn from that will be well worth it. did you-- hypnosis, bring roses, don't blow this [..] the bruising will be worth the freedom i have earned from letting everything burn!" // basically every Ruby song on here is "Ruby is going through it". there's a tension here. very fun to have this song on here though considering Sapphire sign "I am a unreliable narrator, am I not?"

Crossing the Rubicon: "fill me out a prescription for this existential dread, i woke up into a nightmare and i'm hoping that you'll take me back to bed [..] fill me out a prescription, can you free me from this curse? i woke up inside your compass and you're navigating us from east to worst [..] something's got to give, we've gone too far to turn back" // this has been a Viking song for ages but never made it onto my dViking playlist for some reason. it works better here, i think. there's going to be a tipping point where you cross the point of no return.

Younger: "try not to lose sight of the mission! it never hurts to give thanks to the broken bones you had to use to build your ladder. moment close at hand, half of you will never understand, and it doesn't really matter. [..] it never hurts to give thanks to the navigator, even when he's spitting out random numbers." // Certified Navigator Moment as suggested by Charm!! this is one of the songs i can't put into words the emotions i have about it but it's just... a lot. "It never hurts to give thanks to the broken bones" is about everybody Viking is going to burn through to get to his goal, and that kinda ties into Navigator trying to intercept i guess??? i dunno man i don't work here <- literally made this playlist

Up, Up & Away: "how many lives can a guy buy? [..] can't erase or save face, what will they think when they hear my voice on the tapes? skies open, wheels in motion, no going back, no, i've chosen!" // Viking!! aaaauughhhhhhhhh. what will you do to get to where you need to go? once again linking into the we've gone too far to turn back thing from Crossing the Rubicon. y'know, in case you can't tell that i think Viking's going to do something awful to reach his ambitions.

Asking For It: "power through the point of no return, famously deranged, all the same hope you change, if the worm is gonna turn, it's none of my concern" // somebody absolutely rips into Viking. probably Ruby. "if the worm is gonna turn it's none of my concern" is said by Viking in this context though. famous last words before Ruby (or Sapphire?) decks him. fun fact: this was one of the first songs i associated with tViking specifically, back during the first lore scene, but i went "ehhh???" on it. then we got to see a bit more of him and... yeah. this guy is asking for it.

Aren't We All Running: [instrumental] // there's a couple instrumentals on here because of talking to Solar about how character playlists rarely have instrumentals and i wanted to have a couple of rest points. i love the slow build here and the overall mood. montage music.

Hourglass: "i can't fix it, is this where i give in? i'm falling through the hourglass, and i don't think i'll ever make it back [..] turn the page, look back at what you wrote, do you still feel the same?" // shoutouts to Rubyco Themself for namechecking this song! it's real good. someone let Ruby out of his BOX he needs HELP

Hydrogenuine: "11 is the number i seem assigned to, inversions of an opposite truth aligns you, directions like the back of your hand will guide you, i am simply here to assist and remind you" // this is kindasorta a Navigator song, kindasorta just The Situation. i cannot properly explain this one, it just Is. what if we kept running into each other in different universes and timelines but something broke this time and now we're trying to fix it

Triangles: [instrumental] // iiii wanna animaaaate to this sooooongggg hope this heeeeelps

HOME: "every road leads back to where i belong! and i can see, when i'm on my own it's the place i can call home! my mind creates a new world that is so disordered, i proclaim myself king and pope! DID, we are in 3 but we're getting along well, i'm glad to be the leader of the wolf pack!" // Viking is so incredibly not okay. just, like, in general. had fun with the DID lyric though considering Viking and Ruby's plotlines are "other versions of themselves are hijacking their bodies" lmao. love unconventional plurality.

Everybody Gets A Piece: "did you honestly think it might've been, might've been me? and all this while, did you think of me? you know, all this while we were pure potential energy dreaming [..] don't ask, you'll never get! you never asked, so you never got nothing! did you get all you wanted from me?" // this one's a bit looser but the vibes are there. the "don't ask, you'll never get" bit is Viking and Sapphire constantly talking in circles mixed with Viking using everybody as tools and that potentially including Ruby. UM. ALSO MAYBE A NAVIGATOR SONG NOW TBH. I MADE THIS BEFORE TONIGHT'S STREAM.

Crazy = Genius: "and i said: if crazy equals genius, if crazy equals genius! then i'm a fucking arsonist, i'm a rocket scientist! if crazy equals genius! you can set yourself on fire, but you're never gonna burn, burn, burn! you can set yourself on fire, but you're never gonna learn, learn, learn, hey!" // peak Viking. LOOK WE'VE EVEN GOT THE FIRE THEME IN HERE! we love an unhinged inventor with an obsession with fire metaphors

No Sleep Tonight: "and from that height we'll leak the lies, and unveil the damaged skies, 'cause we can't quite stomach this! [..] i still can't comprehend a beginning or an end, no i can't quite stomach this! all i'm trying to say is: you're not getting any sleep tonight!" // more hypothetical Future Speculation stuff mixing in with how generally Screwed reality is for Viking/Navigator and Ruby/Sapphire. also the sleepless theming that's clinging to Ruby through all of this.

The Last Of The Real Ones: "you were too good to be true, gold plated - but what's inside you, but what's inside you? [..] i will protect you, i will protect you, just tell me tell me tell me i- i am the only one, even if it's not true, even if it's not true" // WHAT IF YOU WERE SIBLINGS AND KEPT FINDING EACH OTHER IN EVERY UNIVERSE BUT THINGS KEPT GOING WRONG

The Devil You Know: "nobody knows you better than your demons, so, dance with the devil you know or go home."

[fanficsfreeideas]

applemedia week 2024 day 4 Dream

Alastor lay motionless, caught in a coma that held him in its unyielding grip. Lucifer had managed to heal the gaping wound on his chest, but the blow to his head had gone unnoticed in the chaos. Now, the Radio Demon lay still, his usually vibrant eyes closed and his sharp wit silenced.

Lucifer, ever the enigmatic ruler of Hell, found himself uncharacteristically pensive as he watched over Alastor. It had taken the sight of Alastor's near-death at the hands of Adam for Lucifer to realize the depth of his feelings for the deer demon. He sighed deeply, his regal facade slipping for a moment, revealing the raw vulnerability beneath. Alastor, in his stillness, appeared almost ethereal, his features delicate and beautiful in a way Lucifer had never noticed before.

Beside the bed, Vox sat in silent vigil, his usual bravado and arrogance stripped away. He clung to Alastor's hand, his mechanical fingers trembling as he whispered apologies and pleas for forgiveness. "Please, Alastor," Vox murmured, his voice cracking. "Wake up. I'm so sorry for everything... Just come back to us."

Alastor, meanwhile, was lost in a dream. He frolicked as a deer in a sunlit field, free from pain and strife. He felt a profound sense of peace and happiness. But then, faintly at first, he heard Vox's voice, laced with tears and desperation. "Don't leave me, Alastor. I'm sorry... Please, come back."

Confusion washed over Alastor. The Vox he knew would never beg or cry. And then Lucifer's commanding voice broke through, filled with uncharacteristic emotion. "Alastor, you are needed. I love you. Please, wake up."

Alastor snorted in his dream. Even in his sleep, they wouldn't leave him be. They acted as if he had died. He lay down in the field, ready to close his eyes again, when he felt hands grab his own. Lucifer and Vox, their faces earnest and pleading, held him tight. "We love you, Alastor. We will always be loyal to you. Please, wake up," they begged, and he felt the wetness of their tears on his hands.

Slowly, Alastor's eyes fluttered open. He blinked, disoriented, trying to piece together what had happened and where he was. His vision cleared, and he saw Lucifer and Vox holding his hands, their faces etched with worry and relief. They looked broken in a way he had never seen before.

He tried to speak, but all that came out was a painful coughing fit. Both Lucifer and Vox jumped, scrambling to help. They nearly knocked over a pitcher of water in their haste, but Lucifer was the one to secure it and gently bring it to Alastor's lips, helping him drink.

Vox, tears streaming down his face, choked out, "We're so happy you're awake, Alastor. So happy..." His voice was raw with emotion, his usual composure shattered.

Alastor managed a weak smile, his voice a raspy whisper. "What... happened?"

Lucifer squeezed his hand gently. "You were hurt, badly. We almost lost you."

Vox nodded, his grip on Alastor's hand tightening. "I'm so sorry, Alastor. For everything. Please forgive me."

Alastor looked between them, their earnest expressions and the genuine fear in their eyes stirring something within him. He had always been a figure of fear and respect, but seeing them like this, vulnerable and sincere, he felt a flicker of warmth.

"We'll talk... later," Alastor managed to say, his strength slowly returning. "For now, just... stay with me."

Lucifer and Vox nodded, their relief palpable. They stayed by his side, their presence a comforting anchor as Alastor drifted back into a peaceful, dreamless sleep, knowing he was not alone.

  every muse on this blog is heavily headcanon based, (excluding Francis of course), so I wanted to drop a small info post. i might do a few of these......

𝐃𝐑. 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐕𝐔𝐒

Cybernetics! All four limbs up to the sockets are metal. They are removable, unlocked for cleaning and monthly maintenance purposes. They can be ripped out of their locking mechanisms, but it will feel unpleasant. obviously

His cybernetics have 'feeling' in them, but unable to feel pain.

He works as a surgeon in the Empire, though more recently has started working in the labs that hold Black Doom. Very exciting!

Going off the last point, he enjoys working, but he hates interacting with others in a team setting.

𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐌

Doom is definitely one of the more far removed from his canon counterpart in terms of ..... everything tbh. Lab rat Doom.

He's in this hopeless situation, but he still carries himself as ruler of an alien race, holding an air of regality.

Despite his new form, he has a high pain tolerance.

I know Black Arms don't usually have a tail, but it's my AU so he's getting a tail! I wanted to give him an impish look, so the end is spaded.

The tendrils on his head (the Doom's eye) are prehensile, unintentionally making him more expressive than he'd like to be.

He hates Finitevus.

𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐆

He's my goofy silly. Definitely much more relaxed compared to his (most recent) canon portrayals. Fang's here for a good time, not a long time.

I was hemming and hawing over how he'd like to be known as, given the new 'Fang the Hunter' title, and decided that anything goes for him. Sniper, hunter, whatever. He works a lotta jobs, so...!

Fang more of a jack-of-all-trades sort of mercenary. You pay him enough, he'll get the job done. He's pretty simple in that sense.

He rolls with Bark pretty consistently. They travel around a lot, renting out cheap apartments and bailing before rent is due. They're pretty much always on the move out of necessity.

Fang and Bark communicate through ASL. During their almost ten years together, Fang can count on one hand the times he's heard Bark speak out loud.

𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐎

Out of everyone here, this guy is the closest to his canon counterpart! Only differences being his age (24) and background.

Espio has gone through a lot of unlearning thanks to Vector and the work he does in Central City. He's at a point in his life where he firmly believes that ending a life is not up to him.

His connection to his family is ... professional? At least regarding his mother. His uncle, the person that raised him, he's more open with.

Mourning them

A Genshin Impact fanfiction.

Do not proceed any further if you dislike angst linked to one-sided love and major character death : mind the tags.

CW : major character death, angst for all ships mentioned, one-sided ZhongChi/TartaLi, ChiLumi, platonic ZhongVen, platonic VenLumi or one-sided VenLumi.

How long had it been, already? Perhaps a thousand of years? He had lost count of the time.

It had been so long since the cryo archon, the Tsaritsa, ruler of Snezhnaya had launched her attack against the Heavenly Principles. Against Celestia.

So many years had passed... since he died. Since she also died.

The earlier was a one-sided love.

The latter was a good friend as well as a hero loved by all.

Those were the thoughts circling in his mind as he made his way to her tomb. To pay her a visit.

Looking back on those shared moments with them, he closed his eyes and remembered a fond memory.

There he was, sitting at a table, an exquisite cup of tea in his hand, his eyes lingering on the ocean as the people of Liyue made their way through the harbor, on their way back to work, or off to lunch, sometimes stealing mixed glances, all in his direction.

His eyes thus following the looks, the corners of his mouth curled up in an amused smile.

"Ugh- Childe! Quit it already! Give it back! This is not funny!" The traveler wanted her voice to sound firm, but the genuine fun she was having translated in her voice, betraying her.

What was assumingly supposed to be a glare from her was directed to a copper-haired young man, a pair of light blue haired feathers jokingly adorning his hair instead of hers, as it usually would. He was tauntingly holding a most elegant rapier, seemingly fontainian, way up above her head.

"Would you just look at that! Now that's a gorgeous weapon you've got here, comrade! Don't you think so, mister Zhongli?"

This name's bearer let out a laugh before giving his answer:

"Hah, yes, most refined indeed. Despite Fontaine being a nation mostly known for its mechanics, its people's skills when it comes to weapons craftmanship knows no need to envy Inazuma's reputation in this domain..."

Despite Paimon and the two youth giving him frequent looks, proving their want to listen to the cultured man and respect his speech, the fact that the harbinger was still toying around with the blonde woman, holding her rapier above his head, basically making her dance around him, also counted as an evidence that his question was partly rhetorical.

Seeing them get along like this made him smile. But the attention that he was giving her... was hurting him. Deep down. He just wasn't aware of it yet.

Two years later, Lumine finally sided with the Fatui, after learning everything she needed to know about this world. According to her, it needed to be built anew. When Childe broke the news to him, claiming that they had yet another powerful card up their sleeve, his eyes were shining in a newfound light. One full of ambition. Full of determination. Full of pride. Full of hope.

Full of love.

That's when the Lord of Geo bitterly realized that his friends would probably die, that he would likely be obligated to face them in battle despite his now weakened might, that the retired archon realized his feelings for him. At long last, despite the wisdom that he had learnt to cultivate thanks to an old, already long departed friend of his.

Now in the present time, he opened back his eyes in a deep sigh, knowing that he was now at the place where the Traveler, Honorary Knight of Mondstadt, Savior of Liyue, Captain of Swordfish II, First Sage of Buer, Leader of the Revolution, Flame of the War, and Twelfth Fatui Harbinger rested.

Nonetheless, a peculiar sight presented itself to him.

Peculiar and eerie.

There she was, the beloved hero, curled up on her knees, putting a bouquet of windwheel asters on her own tomb.

After what felt like an eternity to him, he finally dared to speak:

"Lumine?"

Lumine suddenly turned her head in a surprised way.

His feet brought him closer to her, allowing him to look more carefully at her face.

Her eyes.

Her eyes were different.

Not a shade of gold.

Green.

Anemo green.

Just like the color of her front locks, tied in two braids.

He immediately understood who was sitting in front of him.

A sad smile appeared on 'her' face, causing Zhongli to lightly scoff in the same way.

"Hey there, blockhead... you know, short ginger hair is a curious look on you." Barbatos finally spoke.

[dokidokitsuna]

For the Gone AU, I'm curious about the realms that these guys rule. What's the setting here? What do they look like? I have a good idea of what the Realm of Stars might look like (involving a lot of robot people and tech) But what about the Realm of Blood and the Realm of Fate? I'm curious!

Well, you're right about the Realm of Stars-- it's basically just a giant futuristic civilization, and it's likely that many of its inhabitants have lived and "died" without even being aware of Star Dream's existence, outside of a nebulous god-concept.

This is probably the safest Realm to live in, if you're alright with the idea of being mechanized, if you can find somewhere to hide from the hive mind, or if you can convince the nearby members that you're not worth worrying about. The people of the RoS can be a bit...stupid and unobservant at times, due to their hedonistic lifestyle. ^^ And it's not like they need to be smart; Star Dream sees everything through them at all times, and if it recognizes any significant problems it will compel them to act the way it wants them to.

Minor things are usually left up to the discretion of the individual members though, so...if you play your cards right, and you're lucky enough to not be visited directly by an Avatar of the Dream, you could make a peaceful life for yourself in this Realm.

+++

The Realm of Blood, on the other hand, is basically everything that Star Dream hasn't touched; the places where all the flesh-creatures still live. Earth IRL would be considered part of this Realm.

Fecto Elfilis doesn't really 'rule' these worlds per se; the RoB is essentially defined by where it tends to hang out and look for "food". ^^; Worlds in this Realm go through a constant cycle of being struck by apocalyptic events of F/E's choosing, having most of their living creatures die out (or get eaten), and being slowly repopulated by whatever's left.

Because Fecto Elfilis is only one entity, whose movements are kind of random, it is almost indistinguishable from any world-destroying force of nature, like a comet strike or the death of a star. The vast majority of the inhabitants of the RoB don't know F/E exists and might not even recognize it as a sentient being if they saw its work firsthand...I mean, if it decided to play 'Roche Limit billiards' with a pair of planets the way it did in Forgotten Land, ain't nobody gonna live long enough to even understand what happened. ^^;;

Because of this, a lot of outsiders to the Realm tend to also see it as relatively safe and even to underestimate F/E itself-- there are probably plenty of smaller galaxy-scale tyrants wrecking shop in the RoB completely undisturbed.

But even if it takes millions of years, the true ruler will eventually wander by and remind them who the top dog really is. Because of the cycle of death and rebirth that binds the RoB and F/E's ridiculously old age, most of the entities that try to challenge it derive their power from some aspect of it (both Star Dream and the Master Crown, for instance) and this is when they tend to very painfully find that out. ^^;

+++

Last but not least, the Realm of Fate...the hardest one to name AND to define. ^^;

I based these three realms on some ancient natural philosophy thing I read once that I forgot the name of...basically, there is a ranked order of materials in the natural world. On one level, you have inanimate objects (Realm of Stars); on a higher level, you have animate creatures (Realm of Blood); and on an even higher level, you have the forces that animate creatures: souls and/or whatever the human mind is made of. This level is represented by the Realm of Fate.

It does have a presence in the physical world-- the first step of the Master Crown's conquest is always a show of force against the world its victims live in. But after that, most of its dealings take place inside of people's heads-- break the victims' reality, and then break the victims' perception of reality, and continue inside from there.

Unlike with the other two Realms, everyone living in the RoF knows what the MC is and recognizes its place in their lives. They only exist to be its puppets, to play its games and destroy each other...and the inside of each of their minds is like a realm of its own, where the MC rules with an iron fist and will torment them until their consciousness ceases to exist.

...Obviously this is the worst Realm to live in, 0/5 stars. ^^; It also makes the plot of GONE a little ironic-- essentially, the Master Crown gets one (1) taste of its own medicine and folds like a deck of cards. XD Not so tough when your own mind is the one being invaded, huh?

[alexsiple]

For the fandom ask: 1-10, Persona 5

ok hello thank u for the ask, i'm putting it under a cut LOL

What originally drew me to it

ahhhh. my past roommates were already very familiar with it and knew the story / had watched playthroughs. and through a series of events we came to have a ps3 in our apartment and they jumped on having the chance to play it themselves and then we just. would play it every night until 4 am as a reprieve from working on our thesis films. tired out of our minds. one time the ps3 crashed after we'd defeated all those mini bosses at the end and we had to do it all again. good times

What I like most and least about it

hmm... i love the story and the characters. the thieves specifically. made in a lab for my brain to enjoy. i love the rebellious messages, i love this game when it gets it right. but on the other hand i really hate the writing when it gets it wrong (misogyny? messy writing in general? sometimes the story is like "jk don't rebel against oppressive systems" or is an apologist for characters who don't deserve it) i hate kawakami as a character / dating the full grown women / the dating system in general. sorry? also it's rare i love a game that long for its mechanics but i like the battle system and all that shit. not perfect but it's fun as hell to me

A character I want to carry around in a little jar and study like a bug

answered in another ask but it's akechi. omg wait also maruki HAHAHAHA hate that guy. putting him in a box and poking holes in it

A character I couldn't care less about

uhhhhhh. kawakami? lol? or ohya? i refuse to finish their confidants. shrug. yoshida's confidant goes hard though am i right

The character who gives me the greatest gender envy

joker :/ too easy i know

A character I'd like to frame and hang on my wall and admire like a work of art

yusuke??? not because he's an artist ok i'm not on-the-nose like that i just love him he's so wonderful to me. i want him to have everything he ever desires

A character who feels like home

ryuji. i've cried about him. he's your BEST FRIEND

The character with the greatest wasted/unexplored potential

OH. lolol [any woman because atlus hates women and] i'd say haru? i could write an essay on haru but it's not interesting we all know

The character I'd most enjoy feeding to a pride of ravenous lions

uhhhhh any palace ruler can get in the lion pit i guess. even maruki but i say it affectionately (?) even sae i'm sorry girl you have to try harder. any adult in p5 actually. get in the pit. shrug. no one is safe

A ship I would gladly go down with... and then become Davey Jones, so I can continue to captain said ship for eternity

shuake... if it wasn't clear already. but i also love yusuke/ryuji :')

ROSE: Without an organized antagonistic force, the planet became fundamentally unsuited to relevance.

ROSE: Its dissolution was inevitable. And our fellow victors couldn't – or wouldn't – see.

ROSE: We only know of one way to perpetuate canon for sure. To play and defeat the game, and continue the life cycle of the genesis frog we cling to parasitically.

ROSE: This, obviously, has destructive consequences. Ones we spared the Earth by coming here and starting from a blank slate.

ROSE: Now it is protected, in the steady hands of a duly-elected ruler, sure to have a boring and uneventful perpetual term in office.

ROSE: No, I don't feel "bad."

ROSE: I don't need to bargain with the past, or question it.

ROSE: Everything that happened brought us here.

ROSE: An imperfect mechanism, to be sure.

ROSE: Rusting in points, barely functional in others, occasionally relying on the labor of strange clowns.

ROSE: As the sheer number of doomed universes our actions in the game spun off should show, we barely understood the design at the time.

ROSE: Truly, we stumbled through the tape of the finish line ass-first, cheating all the way.

ROSE: But there was no table of judges waiting to adjudicate our performance by holding up little placards with numbers on them.

ROSE: We are the observers, and we are the judges.

ROSE: We won, and to the victor go the spoils.

ROSE: If you want a hand in making the rules of this new world, then don't storm off.

ROSE: They flood my circuits with feeling. More real than flesh ever could be, a direct contact between mind and memory.

ROSE: Is this what you want to hear, Terezi?

ROSE: That I can replay the complete sensory experience of my first kiss a hundred times in a single clock cycle?

ROSE: Do you want me to rend my garments and wail at the tragedy of it all?

ROSE: Play victim, damsel in distress, leak lubricant from the joints of my eyes to simulate the tears I can no longer shed?

ROSE: I know what I have lost. I have taken a full account of it. I cannot and will not forget it.

ROSE: But to cling to it as it faded to nothing would be a meaningless capitulation to entropy.

ROSE: Someone must sit atop Olympus and propagate the fabric of reality upon which these memories sit.

ROSE: That is the task we have taken on. The game does not feel. The game does not mourn. The game must be played, and we must guide those who will play it better than we ourselves were guided.

ROSE: Just as I have remembered the good, I can recall the terror that consumed me and overwhelmed my body.

ROSE: The visions of dissolution. The narrative unspooling. A thousand voices shouting contradiction.

ROSE: What value is a marriage, temporary domestic bliss, if all is lost?

[jesus-imagines]

what if i have terriblr anxiety? i suffer from crippling anxiety and i don't tell people about it because the last time i did, i was told i wasn't trying hard enoug to be like god and was being influenced by the devil :\ i think mental health is real and i want to know what the bible says about it or what jesus himself would do if he met someonv with anxiety. please tell me as soon as yiu can

God will love you so much if you pray more. Prayer was invented as a way to communicate with this awesome ruler of all things that is our God. You can release your anxiety and fears into a prayer and meditate a bit to focus on the world around you. There is more to life than fear and the bible does talk about this. If you read it more, you can take note of the reassuring passages about issues not unlike your own. I do not wish to diminish the strength or seriousness of your anxiety, but I do question the "cr*ppling" part of it. It may be a disabling amount of anxiety, but I am not sure it would inhibit the actual mechanism of your walking or cause a limp of some sort. I say this out of brotherly love <3

Anywho, here are some verses I gathered:

Matthew 6:34 - Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

This is saying to not worry about the future- the future is already figured out by God. Focusing on the present moment will bring fulfilment and allow one to think about important things, like God. Anxiety gets in the way of living life and it is better to not let it dwell.

Isaiah 35:4 - Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.

This verse focuses on the Glory our savior has in store for us. No matter how big a fear may feel, we must be reassured that God is in control of everything and we can trust in Him. He will COME and SAVE us with vengeance. That is how much he cares. What a strong passion our Lord has indeed..

1 Peter 5:6,7 - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

This speaks of the thing i mentioned earlier. Casting your care upon Him means releasing your fear and anxiety through prayer and reassuring yourself that God will take care of all things. He has a mighty hand, He has great power that He can and will use to protect us. Because He cares! Beautiful verse, that one.

John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Peace will come no matter what troubles you in the moment. Peace will win always. He passes peace on to us because He loves us so much. Do not let trouble and fear affect you, because He will help you in all times of need.

I hope for you to find peace in Christ and learn a fiery passion for keeping these reassuring verses close to your heart. You can write them on your pen with skin if you would like.

Jesus would say "I love you, my child. I do not want you to suffer from this mental anguish, but I understand this is a part of how your mind works. Beliveve that I will protect you and no harm will come to you regardless of these worries." He would be very kind and would pat you on the back as a grounding technique and would maybe even sing a song for you. I think he would have a lovely voice and would use it for certain in instances like this. But it would be simple and understated. He wouldn't belt out anything because he is humble and knows simplicity is a virtue.

[this is from thursday i just kept forgetting to finish the transcript]

another recorded rant lmao

transcript:

so my devilish little self decided to have one of these little rants again because i like to rant (and because i probably have ADHD) and, um, i'm home alone and this is what i do when i'm home alone, because i don't get to speak, because i don't like speaking, because i don't like interrupting people, being weird, people KNOWING i'm weird, or anything like that. even though my family are well aware of that, i don't want them hearing it.

anyway! i reckon i could probably do a fluttershy voice if i tried.

uhh... what's a thing fluttershy would say?

...

ok, this isn't a thing fluttershy would say. but it's on my mind.

[high pitched fluttershy voice] every day is the same. that's not. fluttershy. [fluttershy voice] every day is the same, wake up, look at the fire in the sky festival, be awesome, brood.

i'm so fucking high right now do you see my eyes? they are brrIIGGHt red. i haven't watched the shadow- i haven't watched the '06 dub in too long to remember this. i like doing this voice. i don't think it sounds like fluttershy but, y'know, it's got a bit of a wobble to it [dave the intern voice] it's more like dave the intern, really. i bruise like a delicate peeeach... [slight giggling]

i do love dave the intern- like, i can't lie, half of his lines are soooo bad... but the other half are absolute gold and i love them.

um... what else? suddenly, i want to sing ruler of everything, so get prepared for my awesome cover.

[for some reason this next bit gets really loud???]

I'M TAKING OVER YOUR WORLD! I'M TAKING OVER YOUR UNIVERSE! I'M TAKING YOUR TV! I'M GLITCHING IT! THEY- THEY CALL ME THE GLITCH! DO YOU KNOW WHY THEY CALL ME THE MOTHERFUCKIN' GLITCH? CAUSE I GLITCH YOUR TVs OUT! i'm taking the world by STORM. i'm gonna be dropping my latest album: CRACKIN' EGGS. [snapcube president voice] crackin' eggs? mm, ha. [sonic voice] hey mr president [president voice] SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, MY LONG LOST LOVE- sorry.

ok where would ruler of everything be? like- quickest one to- it would probably be in silly 4. i think it's like, first one- yeah.

[i don't know how to transcribe this part other than saying i'm singing 13 by tally hall in cursive??? and then i stop halfway??? btw 13 is instrumental] no im not playing 13

[ruler of everything starts playing] here we go.

ooh, yeah! juno was mad, he knew he'd been had so he shot at the sun with a gun shot at the sun with a gun shot at his wily one, only friend

yuh, YUH- sorry, i won't do that

in the gallows or the ghetto, in the town or the meadow, in the billows, even over the sun, every end of a time is another begun. you understand mechanical hands are the ruler of everything (ah) ruler of everything (ah) i'm the ruler of everything in the end

i should turn this down 👍

do you like how i dance? i got zirconium pants (i'm not singing these lines, they're too-) do you like how i walk? do you like how i talk? do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk? i have a wonderful wife, i have a powerful job she criticises me for being egocentric

you practice your mannerisms into the wall if this mirror were clearer, i'd be standing so tall i saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill i was observing the birds (circle in for the kill)

i've been you, i know you your façade is a scam you know, you're making me cry, this is the way that i am i've been living a lie, a metamorphical scheme (detective undercover brotherhood objective obscene)

oh, oh no, oh yeah

YO! I LOVE THIS BIT! I LOVE IT! A LOT!

do you hear the flibberty jibberty jibber jabber with an 'oh my god i've gotta get out of here or i'll have another word to sell, another story to tell, another time piece ringin' the bell!' do you hear the clocks stop when you reach the end? no, you know it must be never-ending comprehend if you can but when you try to pretend to understand you resemble a fool, although you're only a man, so give it up and smile!
