Just One Day (Chapter 1)

During times like this, Iroh glimpses what Zuko could have been if Lu Ten lived.

It’s easy, almost painfully so, for Iroh to see what he himself would have been. He wouldn’t have had any reason to change, after all, and he had already been old by the time he’d breached the walls of Ba Sing Se. But for Zuko? That’s harder.

Zuko had been a child, still forming, still being formed, when Lu Ten died. Zuko’s training would have taken a very different path, if he had been allowed to remain a mere cousin to the crown prince.

Looking at what could have been for Zuko is like looking into a kaleidoscope. Even within the confines of the royal house, there are a thousand paths Zuko could have walked. A diplomat, a priest, a soldier, a scholar, an artist, an advisor. A spy. An assassin.

It’s the way Zuko pours himself out of the ventilation shaft, utilizing a economy of motion that could be called graceful that does it. The utter silence of his movements, the color of his clothes, the brightness in his eyes… Yes. Iroh sees what Zuko might have been. What he might have been used for, in another world. What even Iroh himself might have been encouraged.

But if Iroh would imagine that world, he might as well imagine any of the dozen others that have crossed his mind over the years. That countless myriad of what-ifs set on him like a spirit plague. If he imagines that world, he could instead picture kinder ones. Ones where the war was over, where Zuko was happy.

It was immaterial. What mattered was the here and now. Here and now, Zuko is none of those things. Zuko is an exile, a desperate one, chasing after a rapidly narrowing beam of hope that had more in common with the lure of an angler-shark than anything good.

“Uncle?” asks Zuko, voice quiet and rough. Burnt.

“My apologies, Nephew,” says Iroh. “You must forgive an old man his woolgathering.”

Zuko’s pinched expression says that no, he doesn’t have to do that and probably won’t. “You have to focus if-- if we’re doing this. You can’t be distracted when Zhao is looking over your shoulder.” His tone is angry. At least, that is how most people would interpret it.

“It’s alright, it’s alright, I’ve made sure we’re alone. We’re as safe as we can be. In the meantime, food! And more importantly, tea.”

Zuko scrunches his face into an expression that is both delightfully teenage and undoubtedly painful. His face is covered in bruises and small cuts. “Uncle…”

“You may wrinkle your nose, Prince Zuko, but every person in the world has at least one virtue, and Admiral Zhao’s is excellent taste in tea.” He smiles as he sits down and reaches for the pot. “Although, I am sorry to say that his virtue is a very lonely one.”

Sadly, this does not get the laugh Iroh was hoping for. Zuko’s scowl may, however, become slightly less pronounced. He also, once Iroh sits down, falls on the food like a starving man. He might very well be. Iroh’s position on the ship and in Admiral Zhao’s retinue has the unfortunate requirement of being in Zhao’s presence, or that of his trusted subordinates, most of the day. This means that he cannot help his nephew nearly as much as he would like.

So. It is, in fact, very likely that this is Zuko’s first meal today.

Although, Zuko is quite capable of theft, when it serves his purposes and sense of honor. Maybe he is just being a teenager. Teenagers are hungry.

Iroh would ask, but he doubts he would receive an honest answer, either way.

Then, Zuko stops, mid-bite. “Uncle,” he says around a dumpling, “have you eaten?”

Then again, Iroh is, perhaps, not a bastion of honesty himself. “Of course!” He pats his stomach. “Have you ever known me to miss a free meal?”

Zuko squints at this, then looks back down at his food. He doesn’t start eating again.

“Do you ever…” he starts, before pursing his lips together.

“Yes?” prompts Iroh, hopefully.

“Do you ever wish,” says Zuko, quickly, the words tumbling over each other, crowding to get out of his mouth, “that you were someone else?” He freezes, then, jaw clenched tightly, as if he fears that he has spoken out of turn.

“No,” says Iroh, glad that, at least, this is a familiar fear. “No. Prince Zuko, I do not regret my decision to be with you.”

“That’s not what I mean,” says Zuko, clearly frustrated but keeping his voice at a near whisper. “I mean… Do you ever wish that you weren’t-- That you didn’t-- That you were a, I don’t know, a poet, or a priest, or a-- a normal person. Somewhere. Someone who didn’t… didn’t have to…” He shrugged.

Iroh blinks. Not a fear, then, perhaps. Well, if Zuko wants to stop his hunt, to disappear from the eye of the Fire Nation and more importantly the Fire Lord, Iroh will do his best to make that happen, and with a glad heart. Although, it would have been far more convenient if Zuko had his change of heart before he snuck onto this ship…

“I suppose all men do so at times, especially men of power. Otherwise, why would there be so many stories of kings and lords in disguise? Why would there be actors, or the masks of the Fire Festival? I confess, even I have, hm, occasionally pretended to be someone who is not Prince Iroh of the Fire Nation, General and Dragon of the West.” He paused. “Do you wish for such a thing, Nephew?” best to not use his title and remind him of the responsibilities attached to it.

“I… I have, uncle.” He looks up, alarm clear on his face. “Not permanently! Not forever! Not-- Not even for very long! But sometimes…” He looks down again, a blush spreading across skin that is alternately pale, scarred, burned, bruised, and scraped. “I wish,” he says, very quietly indeed, “I could be someone else, anyone else, just for a day.”

In that moment, Iroh can see all the things that Zuko wishes not to be, not to have. He wishes not to hurt, not to be hurt, not to have this weight upon him, not to have this duty, not to be banished, not to be so far from home, not to be part of this war, not to have these memories, this history, not to be betrayed over and over again.

Although, that is probably not the way Zuko is thinking about it.

“But just for a day,” says Zuko. He swallows. “Just for a day. I know my duty, Uncle. I love our people. It’s my honor to serve them.”

Ah. Perhaps Zuko is not, quite, ready to run away with him to become nameless, faceless Earth Kingdom peasants, then. Well, Iroh always knew this was going to be, how should he put it, a work in progress. Or, no, that probably wasn’t the best way to put that. He’d have to think on it.

Metaphors took a lot of work that the youth of today just didn’t appreciate.

Iroh put his hand on Zuko’s shoulder and squeezed it as tightly as he dared. “I understand, Prince Zuko,” he said. “But I hope that someday, the spirits will grant your wish.”

Zuko blinked hard, then went back to inhaling his meal. A few minutes later, he was climbing - practically levitating - his way back up into the vents.

Iroh leaned back, sighing. They really shouldn’t make those things as big as they did.

Zuko crawled to the bend in the ventilation shaft that he’d been sleeping in while Zhao sailed north. It was near the showers, so while it was unpleasantly damp, it was warm and he could sometimes overhear the officers talking.

He curled up, tucking in his knees and pillowing his head on the small bag of necessities he’d been able to put together. He should sleep. He needed to sleep.

But to sleep, he’d have to forget all the stupid things he had said to his uncle. What had he been thinking? Ugh. He’d hit something, if that wouldn’t give away his position and therefore his presence.

Well. It might not, at that. Ships were noisy. Still.

Still.

Still, he hadn’t been lying. But he knew better than to just say things like that. That’s what got him exiled in the first place.

He forcefully closed his eyes. He would sleep. He had to be rested, to break into the north pole and capture the Avatar.

The sun slowly rose over the arctic horizon, waking all of the fleet’s firebenders, even if for only a moment, depending on their shift. In his stateroom, Admiral Zhao woke slowly, and called for his aides to brief him. Decks below, General Iroh, already awake, ran through a set of katas he had not yet taught his nephew. In a ventilation duct near the officer’s showers, a teenage firebender gasped, coming awake all at once. But this teenager wasn’t Prince Zuko. Prince Zuko wasn’t on the ship. Prince Zuko wasn’t anywhere.

In the ventilation duct, Kuzon of Hing Wa sat up.

(The moral of the story is ‘don’t make wishes when you’re in a spirit tale.’)

(cw: yandere)

kaveh is your one golden light in a sea of monotonous days. alhaitham provides for you what he thinks you need (and no more, unless you've been very good - unfortunately, your behaviour does not often meet his exacting standards of what 'very good' is like). meals, a little mental stimulation, an hour of sunlight a day.

kaveh winks at you when he slips a treat into your hand. tells you about his day out there in the big wide world that alhaitham no longer allows you to see. comforts you after alhaitham has punished you, whether that be by belt or cage or eating your meals from a bowl on the floor like the bad dog that alhaitham tells you you are being--

and it is because of these small indulgences that you don't notice the most important part of this all.

kaveh sympathises with you. he eases the burden and cleans the wound and clucks at you, all bleeding heart and emotional fragility (you've heard alhaitham mention kaveh having both of these more times than you can count). a fellow partner who falls victim to alhaitham's cruelty, you decide, though alhaitham's voice for kaveh is a little gentler and more teasing (the voice you receive from alhaitham is rather more 'a master speaking to his dog'. alhaitham thinks you have to learn), though kaveh comes and goes as he pleases and gets to stand up to alhaitham every so often when he buys another ugly painting or leaves kaveh to do all the housework--

but kaveh does not save you.

oh, you tell yourself that he's not complicit. you say to yourself that kaveh is at alhaitham's mercy, living rent-free and secretly with the scribe. you rely on kaveh's sympathy and his gentleness as contrast to alhaitham's bluntness . . .

but when alhaitham belts you, he only watches with a sympathetic look on his face. he does not stop him. he only tends to your wounds afterwards, when alhaitham is not around. when alhaitham locks you in the cage because you took your freedom for granted, he only sighs and wraps his little finger around yours through the bars. he only cracks open the windows when he and you are alone, so he can watch for any more escape attempts. when alhaitham speaks to you cruelly, he only winces out of his roommate's sight, and does not ask him to stop.

he reaps his rewards. you look at him like a bastion of salvation. let kaveh touch you when you shrink away from alhaitham.

but you know, in your heart, that the architect is not your friend. will never be your saviour. is a captor all the same, even if he vests it in benignity.

tenderness does not override your state of captivity. but you need to take it where you can get it, and alhaitham is no provider of such. so you and kaveh both pretend.

kaveh pretends he is not a selfish man. and you pretend that you believe that, too.

Just a lil stm with my MCs (no current art of them yet) ~The Unnamed~

Morningstar

Lover: Ais

He/him

Birthday: 1/01

Height: 6’5/195 cm

Personality: Ex-faith holder

Likes: Spiritual practices, adrenaline, drama, weapon handling.

Dislikes: Dwelling, sudden touching + sounds, pity, brewery.

Fatal Flaw: Has a reputation for being vulgar in nature

Story: Morningstar was never his real name. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to remember what this original name was. Born into the temple of ????? and raised as an oracle, Morningstar was regarded as blessed by the god itself.

Of course, this was actually the curse. And because of this, the temple soon descended into cult-like chaos. People from all over the world came to Morningstar for this enlightenment, only to turn mad.

Since the appearance of a mysterious mage, he has now fled the temple. He now calls for a great prophecy that says for him to enter the Senobium.

~~~ ~The Hound~

Sullivan

Lover: Leander

He/him

Birthday: 2/29

Height: 6’1/188 cm

Personality: Lone Wolf

Likes: Street games, music, art making, pastries, boxing.

Dislikes: Gaudy materials, bright lights, people, gangs.

Fatal Flaw: Has and will use his curse for Malicious intent.

Story: Always a thief, yet never could keep his finds. Sullivan is someone of an underdog, someone at the bottom of the pack. As much as he enjoyed the thrill of danger, what he despised was how he was treated for being cursed. He was taken advantage of, backstabbed, and left behind.

This curse worsened, causing him to run away to the last bastion of hope. He’s taken many from his curse, and he will take more. Involuntary or not. However, someone can guess his intentions by whether or not he’s fidgeting with his bandages. He now looks for the Senobium, looking for a cure so he can rightfully dish out revenge. Particularly for someone named ????. ~~~ ~The Alchemist~

Kavi

Lover: Kuras

He/him

Birthday: 8/28

Height: 5’10/177 cm

Personality: Smug spectator

Likes: Astrology, cats, botanics, walks outside.

Dislikes: Dismissive people, escargots, linen, confrontation, fights.

Fatal Flaw: Is an all bark yet no bite kind of person.

Story: Someone like Kavi was always sheltered, having been taken in by ?????. His life consisted of studying, eating, sleeping, and repeating that cycle for many, many days. It was only later he found out he was being made into a test subject.

Kavi during the period of discovery often fought with ????? in a denial that she would ever do this. He would soon start rebelling (skipping meals with her, sleeping late, etc). Yet Kavi would never tell her why he was rebelling.

He fled to Eridia so he could study at the Senobium in hopes of finding a cure. However, every step Kavi makes him paranoid of who might come visit.

On The Radar -- Inevitable: A Doomed Arthurian Western RPG by SoulMuppet Publishing

Game Title: Inevitable: A Doomed Arthurian Western RPG Genre(s): Fantasy/Western TTRPG System: Focused System Format: PDF/Hardcover Campaign Start: April 11, 2023 Campaign End: May 11, 2023 Campaign Goal: $18, 574 (Current Pledge Amount: $51, 835) Campaign Team Size: 13 --- --- --- Game Info: So, what exactly is Inevitable about? – Inevitable is a fantasy, western TTRPG about forlorn gunslinger knights, fighting against destiny, and living in a time of ending. The world of Inevitable is set within a never ending, ever present desert known as the Barren. The Barren is a land that is the only presence left of a world that was. And within that presence, there is a kingdom there. The Kingdom of Myth. Myth is the last bastion of civilization present in the Barren. It unfortunately is a bastion in turmoil. King Malavan has been slain by the Cannibal Saint and Malavan’s son, Ruben, has been thrusted into the throne. The boy king of Myth is unprepared to take up the reigns of his father yet this is not the only crisis facing Myth. A vision of the end has been seen by the prophets of Myth. It is a vision that sees Myth burning and King Ruben being the last king of Myth. There is nothing to be done about this. When a prophet speaks of their visions, their visions always come to pass. Yet even then, there are always those who fight fruitlessly against fate. They are heroes seeking to push back Fate itself. They will fight to ensure Myth stands for even one more day. They will fight bitterly against the creeping end, but the end will come for Myth. Who will you be at this end of all things? Will you be the one who held steadfast to their virtues? Or will you be the one who forsakes everything for even a chance of preventing the end? It is up to you on how this final story is written. Who am I playing as? – You take on the role of a questing hero in Inevitable who is trying to prevent the end of Myth. There are six classes in the game and they are: The Errant, The Mystic, The Godsman, The Taleweaver, The Roamer, and The Shadowjack. Just by their titles alone. These six classes in Inevitable bring to the imagination a questing band of varying backgrounds and motivations seeking to fight fate itself in order to save the kingdom. Who am I fighting? – As a questing hero of Myth, the threats you face in Inevitable will vary. As there are six dooms waiting to make themselves known and reign down havoc on Myth. These six dooms have the following titles: The Ravenclaimed, The Bronze Horizon, The Cannibal Saint, The Great Drake, The Thronebreaker, and The Hammermight. Three of these six dooms can be chosen to appear in your campaign and they represent the threats that will both besiege and eventually destroy Myth. Whether you’re facing the flesh eating, betrayer brother that is the Cannibal Saint to the apocalyptic harbinger that is the Great Drake in your campaign. These dooms will eventually overcome you, your Cadre, and the kingdom of Myth. You may be able to valiantly struggle against them, but ultimately one of them will bring the end. And what matters the most is how that end occurred and what your cadre did in the face of that end. What’s The System Like? – So, the system in Inevitable is called the “Focused System”. What does that exactly mean? Well, instead of the traditional stats present in RPGs, the Focused System instead makes use of “Reputations''. Reputations in Inevitable are basically a reflection of how your character is spoken of and how it influences their interactions in the Barren. Are you known in low whispers as a bloodthirsty shootist? Do the Taleweavers speak a tale of your redemption? Does Knightsholme gossip about your valor? Reputations, besides offering character building and roleplay guidance in a campaign, is also used in both of the resolution mechanics present in Inevitable. This first mechanic is known as: “Challenge”. A Challenge occurs when your character faces an issue and you build a dice pool of d6’s by answering questions about your reputations. If you succeed in a challenge then you get an advantage for your quest. If you fail in a challenge then your quest can become even more challenging. And then there’s the other resolution mechanic. Showdown. This is the climatic end of your quest and sees one of your Cadre step forth to confront the threat of your quest. Unlike with a challenge, in a Showdown you’re instead directly negotiating with the Storyteller about what your character is willing to sacrifice. (I find the system that Inevitable is running to be particularly interesting from my view.) --- --- --- --- --- --- Campaign Info: What’s the campaign funding? – The campaign is funding to provide a release for the game as the game itself is fully finished. Additionally, the funding from the campaign will be used to bring on guest contributors and also allow for all involved to get a reasonable increase in pay. Are there shipping costs? – At the time of this writing, the campaign page unfortunately does not show if there are any shipping costs for a physical copy of Inevitable. However, this section will be updated whenever shipping costs are posted on the campaign page. When will the game come out? – August 2023 (PDF) and October 2023 (Hardcover) --- --- --- --- --- --- Pledge Info: * Sad Civilian ($2) – Pledgers at this level get a PDF copy of the quickstart. * Sad Squire ($25) – Pledgers at this level get both a PDF copy of the full game and its quickstart. * Sad Knight ($50) – Pledgers at this level get an A4 hardcover copy, full game PDF copy, and the PDF quickstart. (Note: The Sad Wizard and Sad Cowboy pledges are separate pledges as they are two different alternate covers for Inevitable.) * Sad Wizard ($75) – Pledgers at this level get an alternate cover of the hardcover that features the Emeraldine. And they also get the PDF’s of the game and its quickstart. (This alternate cover is illustrated by Riot Bones.) * Sad Cowboy ($75) – Pledgers at this level get an alternate cover of the hardcover that features Sir Ethe the Refuser. And like the Sad Wizard pledge, pledgers get the game PDF and its quickstart.

shaoyuan my best boy i love him i want to see him SUFFER

he's definitely not my Most most dnd pc (opal has GOTTA take the cake there) but my GOD he's is definitely Most in his own way

he's a high level wizard (lapsed) he's the BEST OLDER SIBLING YOU CAN HAVE* (*some terms and conditions may apply) he has an EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ROCK (pebble with eyes he drew on; its name is Geoff [short for "googley-eyed fucker"]) he's SLEEPING WITH THE PRIME MINISTER (prime minister equivalent in the world) (yes said prime minister is married) he's even DEPRESSED

okay jokes aside i fucking love him. i want to eat him. i want to turn him into a gumball and gnaw on him. i want to shred this motherfucker into a fire and see what happens. more under the cut because this got WAY more long than i expected it to KSJFDH

mechanically, he's level 4 rogue (subclass pending) / 2 warlock (undying subclass). by subclass pending, i mean that i picked one for him, but quickly realized i didn't like that rogue subclass very much, and now i'm going to see if i can find one that's a little less underwhelming and thematically appropriate

he used to be an extremely high level wizard (subclass also pending, but it's not super relevant now, so i'll do it laaaaater), because he was essentially the in-universe equivalent of a career tribute from the hunger games (AKA trained from birth to win Dogfights For Children). unfortunately, these Dogfights For Children were for specific children, AKA his family and some other families.

second unfortunately: he has an identical twin sibling.

third unfortunately: shaoyuan is a fucking tryhard.

a sane man and sibling would hear "you need to murder your twin, repeatedly and brutally, for the good of the family and its social status" and go, what the fuck??? no!!!

shaoyuan is not a sane man nor sibling. he goes hard and never home. he's either giving 100% or he's fucking dead. if you give him a target to aim for, the rest of the world will cease to exist, as far as he's concerned.

shaoyuan turned himself into an avatar of fear and terror, and tortured his fellow-aged peers (twin included) just so that he would have the psychological edge in all these Dogfights For Children.

his preferred method of destruction? acid. to quote one math you mercer, "only the most fucked up of assassin's kill their targets with acid!"

i agree, mr. mercer. that's why i made him do it 😊

anyway, the Dogfights For Children start at age 11 and end at age 18, and by the time he reaches the end, he's figured out, "oops, i'm kind of an awful person!" especially because that doesn't stop him from still going fucking hard and melting people to death that last time (even if the fear in his twin's eyes has haunted him for years now).

and then he goes home, sets his spellbook on fire, gets an accountant accreditation and bounces so that he can avoid his twin and also all his own psychological trauma forever thank youuuu

the world is post-apocalyptic, so you have bastions of society in major cities, then outposts leading from one to another for semi-safe travel purposes, but generally speaking, leaving the cities is a Bad Idea for most people. shaoyuan quickly becomes very good at stabbing (rogue) in order to not get killed by the post-apocalyptic monsters.

as far as society is concerned, he was like, an up-and-coming young wizard with a lot of talent and potential, and then he just fucking... washed out! he just fucking flopped! he's some mediocre accountant that makes the stupid decision of making his career depending on wandering out into Apocalypse Central! all his coworkers thinks he's nuts and/or gonna come back in a body bag (if at all!!!!)

meanwhile, his twin (shaoquan with a q) is doing pretty good 😊they went to college, then law school, and is now a full-on lawyer! they've also gone to fucking therapy like a reasonable person and is working on... you know, all the terrible things that's happened to them, as opposed to repressing it, and is doing pretty decent now in all respects.

meanwhile, shaoyuan is going on his tenth year of being the gold medal champion for the Trauma Repression Olympics TM, and recently just almost drowned in a river. this is significant, because the drowning was successful. he just didn't die, because a god fished him out.

this god is also his great great great (x a lot) grandfather.

yes, this is news to him too.

it turns out there's a whole lot of shit going on in the divine side of the world that he previously wasn't privy to, and now he is. because he almost died. and while he was busy almost dying, a spiritual manifestation of regret merged with him while on the boundaries of life and death, and now all his regrets are Literally haunting him, and have given him a turbo trauma chicken Second Forme (also known as the undying warlock's Form of Dread) (thank you trigun fandom for that phrasing. i'll never forget it.)

oh ym god shaoyuan is like a traumatized washed-up danny phantom.

anyways, his great (x many) grandfather tells him he should try and get unfused with this shade. which, considering shaoyuan's coping skills start and end with "conceal don't feel" is not going. great

ALL THIS WORDS AND I HAVEN'T EVEN MENTIONED THE THING THAT KEEPS HIM GOING EVERY DAY

[insert "do it for her" meme]

so, shaoyuan has two older sisters he doesn't really talk to (also twins). he also has a twin sibling he definitely doesn't really talk to.

most importantly, he has two very, very baby siblings (also twins) that he dotes on, that he would do anything for. and it haunts him, because he knows exactly what "anything" means for him. it means anything. that k.a. applegate about the definition of ruthlessness? yeah. he doesn't let himself have true goals anymore, because he knows that if he lets himself slip, he has no compunctions about doing heinous shit, as long as it brings him that much closer to achieving his goals.

however. his baby siblings, nianxiu and nianping, the babies of the family (they're like 17-18 years younger than him), are on track to be shoved into the Baby Dogfights blender, once they hit age 11.

and he's not going to let that happen. that's the sole thing keeping him tethered to this plane of existence, basically. "i won't let that happen to them." it keeps him going, and he's been using his connections between cities to arrange things to get them out safely, before their turn at Baby Dogfights can happen

and i cannot fucking wait, because shaoyuan is going to go full "caleb at the vergesson, crunching guards into naught but flesh and mush with gravity magic" in order to get them out

i just love me a character who seems one way on the outside (tired, depressed, washed-out once-prodigy, spineless babysitter) turns out to be infinitely More on the inside AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i'm posting this before tumblr can eat the draft. more to come FOR FUCKIN SURE

#ocposting #dina don't look #IS ANY OF THIS COHERENT?#I FEEL DERANGED.#MY BLOOD SUGAR JUST BOTTOMED OUT AND MY HANDS ARE LOW KEY SHAKING.#(YES I AM EATING NOW I REMEMBERED TO DO THAT.)#shaoyuan

Your name is NATHAN "ALASTOR" WILLIAMS, though you do look a bit like DANE DEHAAN. You are 36 years old, identify as CIS MALE and your pronouns are HE/HIM. You work as a LAWYER and live in a HOUSE. Some would say that your seven deadly sin is PRIDE and that’s because HE IS THE LEADER OF A CULT THAT WORSHIPS THE "DEVILS THAT LIVE IN THE MINES''.

SUMMARY: (AT LEAST FIVE HEADCANONS)

Born and raised in Aramore, as many of the residents are, Nathan Williams was always an odd character. His family owned a large house up in the hills, overlooking the valley. His family has resided in the town since its formation, and their family is one of the owners of the old mine. Which means old money. And several dark secrets.

When he was eight, Nathan got lost in the mines, wandering in there when he knew better. He was missing for three months and when he was found, doctors said it was a miracle he was still alive. They didn’t know what happened to him or how he’d found food and water, and when they asked Nathan if anyone had taken him or found him, he simply told them that ‘his friends kept him safe.’ Ever since then, he’s never been the same. For a while, he became quiet and withdrawn, drawing dark and scribbling pictures of horrific faces and features. It was concerning but his parents did nothing about it. Then the dead animals started showing up. Some were small, rodents and possums and the occasional, unfortunate cat. Though on some occasions there would be carcasses of full grown bucks lying there, being picked apart by vultures and crows and vermin. Nathan claimed ‘his friends needed to eat,’ and could often be found sitting nearby, watching the birds. The birds never seemed to mind his presence.

As he got older and more used to himself, he became more outgoing. It was shocking to see how the once quiet boy was now talkative and charming. He was charismatic and almost likable. He was around fifteen when he started introducing himself as Alastor, something his parents figured was an odd phase. When he was sixteen, several fires started around town. Nothing that caused too much damage, but it was something that caught people’s attention. When he was seventeen, his parents disappeared from town, never to be heard from again, leaving their son with access to all their bank accounts, the house in his name, and just a few more mysteries to riddle his past.

He became a lawyer, operating a well known firm in the town. There are ads with his name all over town, all listing him as Nathan Williams, making him known and showing how he was ready to capitalize off of help with any of the misfortune that befalls the poor, unlucky citizens of Aramore.

But more often than not, he can be found deep in the old mines. There, he’s created a base of operations. When Alastor was a child and he was lost in these mines, this was where he spent most of his time. Deeper down than the mines should go. Carvings on the wall, strange symbols painted on the floor in a dark stain. It’s where the demons spoke to him, where some of them entered his mind. Several lesser demons come and go, but he claims there to also be five greater demons that spend their time constantly in his mind (Murmur, Dantalion, Andras, Ose, and Aim). That they’ve been there since he was a child and he was drawn to the mines. When they entered his body and soul and chose him as their vessel. They guided him, whispering to him and telling him of pasts and futures to come. Helping him to guide the lives of those around him, giving him power of freewill and life and death. Making him more than just a man.

Of course, he’s not completely selfish. Alastor has allowed others to come to the mines. Those he can trust. His closest followers. Those who believe him when he says the portal to hell is in the mines, that the old legends are true, and that he will be the one to channel all that come through it when the time comes. He’s to be a bastion for the devils and their demons. And in doing so and helping to open the portal, he and his followers—and those they love should they also join— will be granted seats on the Counsel when hell and earth converge and mankind is enslaved and eradicated. They will be allowed to live as immortals in the land of demons, they will be granted powers of clairvoyance and immunity and things beyond their wildest dreams. They will be gods amongst the mortals that still exist after what Alastor claims is called “The Paroxysm.”

Followers of him and his beliefs must pass several tasks to prove their worth and their commitment to the cult group. Lots of manipulating and gaslighting on Alastor’s part, but hey, it’s their fault for being so gullible and stupid. People love being able to explain their bad luck away as something else's doing, and in a town like this, well everyone’s more likely to believe demons than their own idiocy.

Of course, he does believe one hundred percent that these demons are inside of him and all the teachings he passes on to the rest of the group. But he still knows his followers can be quite gullible and he definitely uses that to his advantage.

To show off some of his powers from the demons, he requires his followers to partake in a ritual that’s basically just all of them tripping on acid and other drugs. He makes a concoction of drugs and alcohol that they’ll all drink before he shows off his communing powers. He’ll also claim he has to drink this to reach them better and see their messages clearer. Different drugs show him different visions.

Blood sacrifices are a regular part of it. Sometimes animals, sometimes just a donation amount from the members, but other times, the demons require more. That’s when people go missing again. Alastor or his most loyal followers are usually the ones that carry those ones out, though.

He keeps his lives separate. People who know him as Nathan Williams only know the odd, eccentric, old money wealthy lawyer. And those who know him as Alastor, well, they know better than to let anything slip about that side of his life to the public. People that have tried to spread rumors about a mysterious cult in the mines and hint at Nathan being tied up in any suspicious activities often find themselves going missing. And their names just become one more in the long list of mysterious disappearances.

Alastor may be responsible for some of the odd goings on and strange disappearances in Aramore but he’d never claim that it’s all his doing, even if he’d like to. Some of the things that go on here, even he can’t explain.

Sand-Punk Salvager Sulphura The Dragon

Ch.1 The Adventure Begins

Way beyond the alien Succubi spider Queens of Mars, Sulphura Aranea Aesma StarDew A beautiful Charizard Trans-Woman who uses they/them pronouns. and lives deep beneath the sea of the Rayuban coast. A 10,000 lb borderline ultralightweight lightweight Mecha called B-115 or more commonly known as "The-Orca" was their home and primary means of transportation, except for flying of course since they were a Charizard, or inheritor of the sacred dragon Genes from the great <Electro-Dragon>. She was looking for Relics of a long gone age and various types of tungsten and copper scrap metal from sunken vehicles from the Rauban war which had taken place here over 150 years ago.

The 13 ft. Mech hit a rock though which tore its hull open causing water to flood the inside shutting down the electrical components inside. Unfortunately the other Mechs working down here were unwilling to help Kali so she swam to the surface about 50 ft up from where the tear in the hull was and flew to the nearby Orca Steamer which had steam pouring out from its large and powerful blowhole. I jumped in and was surrounded by blood throbbing Orca tissue, which was surrounded by electrical wires , galvanized steel plating, anti-freeze tubes and pyramids.

From the Shadows a figure stepped forth. "who dare approach Hanuman the third?" said an elderly (maybe 60 years old) anthropomorphic monkey man

"I am in desperate need of repairs for my Mech ship I hit a sharp rock out about 1 mile south of here and was hoping you and your friend could help me?"

"I just need a Subaru P24 Enki F1 K 17X69 48 with a 20 ply Titanium hull"

"Hmmmmm 20 Ply you say?" "Quite a tall order, what are you willing to trade?" said Hanuman++ the third who was third generation Leggio Mechanic whose family had been here since the Rayuban war.

"How about 18 Bananas, 12 Coconuts, one pound of Dragons Tongue and 120 Gil?"( which was the new Rupee in Rayuba)

"This has Been a real learning experience." said Kali who was flying back and forth day by day delivering coconuts they found along the coast to the monkey whose Orca circled around mountains of fire and ice.

The repairs were made almost instantly though I did not have the money to pay the Salvagers which is when I decided to become one salvaging the depths and then returning them to the sandy Rayuban coast . I was on my way slowly descending to the Ocean depths were I found a new kind of foe. A mutated relative to the Xixo. I tried to flee from the crusty crustaceans crawler using the large propeller mechanism attached to the back of "The Orca" but it was too large and continued chasing me so I had to Switch from mobil armor mode to battle mode and fired a bolt of plasma from its crossbow attachment on its arm and then hid behind rock where they brought out the beam trident which turned it into crab meat.

Its skewered body was roasted that night and very delicious a local tribe of anthropomorphic seagulls came to bring me things one of which was a relic from one of the local shrines. A bone Cestus left there by Aranea <The-Electro-Dragon> before leaving to fight for Bastion, for our freedom. They were a beautiful intersex DragonShark and we worship her for she came from the ocean and this is were she was found as a young child by our people the Lorrito tribe over 150 years ago.

"I am De-Wa-Do daughter of the righteous sealer De-Leedo, and priestess of Kali. Please take it and Free us from the demonic Hordes which Inhabits the Islands of Fire and Ice, for they come to our beaches and try and eat our eggs and young seagulls.

"We will do what we can" said Sulphura

"Currently I am in need of one pound of Dragons Tongue to help pay the debt I owe for the salvage crew to fix my mech"

"I will take you to the mountain east of here where it grows...the fabled 'Fire Red Mountain'.

end of ch.1

“Lucky! I can’t do either! I don’t even have taste.” Bastion dismayed as overheard Aki’s answer to that Nonnie’s question. If it was one thing that the bot wanted, well other than to protect his family and friends, it was to eat and taste everything out there.

He didn’t even care about the stuff he shouldn’t try. He wanted to try it, just once.

2022 Reading Log pt. 15

Posted right before I get on a plane for the first time in 10+ years

70a. The Secret Life of Puppets by Victoria Nelson. Put down within 20 pages. The concept is decidedly interesting. The book’s thesis is that in modern Western society, the supernatural is more likely to be demonized than valorized, and that much supernatural feeling has been sublimated into the arts. This can be seen in attitudes towards anthropomorphic figures, including puppets, statues and robots. Unfortunately, the book’s writing style is incredibly pretentious and off-putting. The author is also a big believer in both Freud (beyond the references to the uncanny that the topic would naturally include) and Plato, both of whom are philosophers I hate. When I got to the end of the introduction, which warns that nobody who reads the book will be the same when they finish it, I rolled my eyes as hard as I could and stopped reading.

71. …and then you’re dead by Cody Cassidy and Paul Doherty, PhD. This book is much less pretentious, and a lot of fun. I liked it now, but I would have absolutely loved it when I was in high school, which is pretty much the target audience. The subject of the book is what exactly would happen to the body in a variety of hypothetical scenarios, and the biology, chemistry and physics behind, say, skydiving from the ISS, falling into a volcano or never falling asleep. Doherty is the senior staff scientist at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, which seems like the perfect training for writing a morbid educational book about various improbable ways to die. If you like popular science books like What If? and/or books about death like Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?, this is basically the perfect Venn diagram overlap of those.

72. Fighting Fantasy Monsters: Out of the Pit by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, edited by Marc Gascoigne. Fighting Fantasy is a bit of retro gaming I had never had first hand experience with before. It started out as a series of Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style solo gamebooks, and then developed into a fairly simple RPG ruleset. The edition I read was the 2011 reprint for Advanced Fighting Fantasy, specifically, so there’s a little tiny bit more rules material than in the original. The monsters within are a mix of Tolkien and D&D knockoffs with more original content. A lot of them show their origins as CYOA critters—there’s a lot of unfair deathtrap, you must do exactly one type of action or you’ll die sort of mechanics on display here. There’s also some vintage racism—“headhunters” and “pygmies” are monsters here, and a lot of the writing for evil humanoid races like orcs and trolls have racialized tones. The reason I picked this up in the first place, and likely its greatest point of recommendation, is the art. Every monster gets a picture, all in black and white lineart and filled with grotesque detail. If you like 1st edition AD&D art, you’ll like the art in this book. The PDF conversion is a little sloppy; I think a text scanning program was used and not triple-checked, as “orcs” are referred to as “ores” about half of the time.

73. Extreme North: A Cultural History by Bernd Brunner, translated by Jefferson Chase. This was originally written in German. It talks about how the concept of the “North” has been an influence on mainstream Western thought—primarily Western Europe and the United States. The North in this case is primarily Scandinavia, Iceland and Greenland, but also discussions of Canada, Siberia and Alaska come into play. The core of the book is the development of a romanticized idea of the North as a bastion of civilization, an untamed wilderness, or a social paradise, and how that shaped everything from the Age of Exploration to Nazi Germany. There are a lot of fingers in the pie of how “Aryan” and “Nordic” became figures of racial supremacy—some of the historical figures I knew, like Wagner and Haeckel, and others I was surprised by their roles, like Kant and the Brothers Grimm. I also didn’t know that looking at Swedish social democracy with a wistful sigh is nothing new for American leftists—the earliest the book talks about is in the mid 1930s!

74. Beasties and Beasties 2 by Thomas Denmark. Yeah, I’m on something of a monster book kick. I’m lumping these two together because they have the same author, same publisher, and are very short. Each is around 90 pages, and only half of those have text. These are small zine-sized books of monsters and NPCs, with an illustration and a stat block for OD&D (or its legally distinct equivalent) on facing pages. Each has a few pages of backmatter with maps and world building—Beasties has an entry about the floating ziggurats of the Locust Gods, and Beasties 2 has an ecology article about goblin society and history. The monsters are all illustrated, but are illustrated with stock art, which limits their scope somewhat. Lots of humanoids, lots of undead. And lots of sexy ladies; the stock art chosen is often very thirsty for black and white line illustrations. Thinking back on it, none of the monsters really leap to mind, except for a somewhat awkward Trump parody (a babbling elephant-monster called a Drumpf) in Beasties 2, and the fact that a lot of the monsters in Beasties 1 have stench based abilities. These aren’t the worst OSR monster books I’ve read (if we count Lusus Naturae, that’s going to be a hard milestone to beat). But they’re not the best either.

75. Chasing Ghosts by Marc Hartzman. This is a weird one. It claims to be a book about ghosts for both skeptics and believers, but what that actually means in practice is that it’s a book by someone who clearly believes in ghosts that’s full of stories about hoaxes and frauds, followed by special pleading that some of the phenomena are real, or that the hoaxer was only hoaxing when they got caught for attention but the original haunting was absolutely real, you can trust me. The book is also intentionally incomplete about a number of the cases within it, like the Mumler Spirit Photographs, in order to make it seem like there’s more mystery than there actually is. The author basically confesses on the last page that he believes in ghosts because he’s afraid of death (the quote is “We become something new in the afterlife. Whatever form it takes, it sounds a lot like heaven. Dead in a box is hell.”). Basically the only thing I can wholeheartedly recommend about the book is the imagery. There are archival photos and newspaper clippings, supplemented with moody greyscale illustrations by Lauren O’Neill.

kpop music videos that gave their fans sexual brainworms

OR accidental fetish pop and its fringe fanbase: meditations on gendered desire

large warning here: i am someone who has been into kpop for the past 10 years. however, i have always been an extremely casual fan. i do write fic, but not rpf. if any of that makes you not want to hear me talk about kpop rpf (or you don’t want to hear about it in general), please keep moving.

anyway, obviously pop is corporate, soulless, and manufactured. but sometimes some truly bizarre shit gets past the committees and destroys a generation. these are their stories.

the video that started this is all is got7’s just right, released july 10th, 2015.

yes that’s all 7 members of got7 (one is out of frame) shrunken down for your viewing pleasure. they live in your room and tell you you’re just right.

this sheer fetish power of this video is nerfed only by how utterly sexless it is.

they’re styled like and dance like this. it’s a totally unironic sendup of the seminal work that preceded it by four years, “what makes you beautiful” by the white kpop group “one direction.” the chaste energy of the whole thing makes you legitimately wonder if the good people at jyp have just never heard of microphilia. (during a dramatic reading of this piece, here a friend interjected seriously, “i think it’s korean culture not to talk about things like this, fetishes in the workplace.”)

it’s for the best, honestly, though because the actress in the music video is lee ja in, who was 11 when the video was shot. considering that the members themselves ranged in age from 18-23 at the time, i think it’s actually very impressive that we only have to cancel one.

you receive absolutely no prizes for guessing that it’s jackson wang we’re sending to social justice prison. why’d he do this? no one asked.

at any rate, got7 fans, or “gans” (they actually call themselves igot7s which is too twee for me), have much to think about here: all 7 very small members of got7 sneaking into their room, possibly weird age play, and jackson wang eating a very large cake.

let’s see what they actually did.

twitter was actually very tame. the most charged thing i found was (unsurprisingly) from a bts fan (“ban”). i don’t actually know what it means, but i think it means something.

so, of course, i turned to the internet’s last bastion of free speech, where you can say whatever the fuck you want and receive cheers, or as the kids say, “kudos.” that is, i read fanfiction.

for those of you who don’t know your herstory, i started my journey at Asianfanfics.com, where, at the time of writing, there were 12,067 got7 stories. i want to start this by saying that i think feminism won, because someone was paying real human dollars to advertise their irene/wendy fanfiction on a banner ad, which is quite possibly a win for women for everywhere.

anyway, Asianfanfics.com’s search engine sucks ass (i kept on finding stories about different combinations of bts members worrying about their weight and being reassured by another member that were entitled “just right”), so i decided to look through all got7 stories written between july 2015 and december 2015.

but, alas, not a single got7 microphilia fic to be found.

also, some genre commentary while i’m here: i think the stories i respect the most are the “[y/n] is a ordinary girl who’s assigned to be got7’s manager! can she make them into superstars? as sparks begin to fly, can she keep it professional?” like fuck yeah that sounds like a kickass dating sim. it almost definitely already is one. i salute all the teens around the world for buying into the fantasy of dating a boy band member that they themselves sell you.

however, i don’t think i respect the “[member a] and [member b] are mafia/jocks and nerds/college students/high schoolers” concepts. in my opinion, the whole fantasy of boy band member is their personas, their hidden real personalities, their celebrity, and the show business setting. find a different intellectual property if you wanna write about school. i even respect the “yugyeom drank girl juice [not estrogen] and turned into a sexy girl” story more, because at least it knows exactly what it wants, and also because they’re all still boy band members. well, band members. shout out to yugyeom.

so, anyway, i looked elsewhere. at the time of writing, archive of our own only had 11,645 got7 stories, but it does have a better search, so it effectively has more. as an aside, i think it’s so funny, and mildly disorienting at first, that archive of our own separates the “music & bands” section from the “celebrities & real people” section. boy band members aren’t real people.

the first problem i encountered is that only 20 or so stories were written within a year of just right’s release. absolute cringe gans. don’t you care about your boys? there were zero stories tagged “vore” or “microphilia” either. stories containing the word “tiny” that were rated either “explicit” or “mature” were all normal (“normal”) size fetishization rather than, you know, just right.

however, i learned my lesson from twitter. i realized that what had happened was that watching this video had created sleeper agents, just waiting for their activation phrase. that activation phrase? bangtan boys. and yeah, lo and behold, there was one! unfortunately (fortunately?) it had nothing to do with got7, let alone just right, so i’m not going to talk about it.

basically what i learned is that this video may have actually been very normal, and my brain has just been destroyed by being too online at a young age.

however, there are plenty more videos in this genre. i present to you exo wolf, a banger from may 30th, 2013. i say banger, because in a comedic inversion, it’s actually fucking terrible.

this video is pretty self-explanatory in terms of why it might induce certain responses.

let’s get the formalities out of the way. this video, the member who’s getting cancelled is kai. he has braids in this video :/

also skating on thin ice: xiumin and chen. guys what was up with the whole exo-m thing? like, we’re gonna have a cpop subgroup, but it’s going to be part chinese members and part korean members that we’ll give a chinese name? unsurprisingly, the three exo members who have departed from the group are all chinese. they weren’t able to stand the microaggressions probably. but xiumin and chen remain uncancelled as an official chinese apology for five thousand of years of on-and-off invasions of korea. sorry guys that was kinda fucked up. our bad!

anyway, there are basically three avenues for exo fans to take: 1) humans with wolfish characters (usually wolf pack dynamics, which even wolves themselves don’t fucking use so i think all of you should shut up. the real omega here is your brain), 2) werewolves (duh), and 3) wolves with human characteristics (i.e. standard furry fare).

exo themselves let all these possibilities exist at the same time, superimposing them over each other, which is very woke and egalitarian of them. let’s see what the people decided. awoo.

Asianfanfics dot com had many stories in this vein. i feel very validated that this time i was able to correctly predict a fetish. that said, briefly returning to my earlier comment regarding alternate universes: it’s intense psychic whiplash reading about these vampires and werewolves, and going okay okay luhan is a vampire this that whatever, and then seeing the actual real performance photos the author attaches at the bottom of each chapter. bro i forgot these were actual people.... it breaks immersion so bad... i’m sorry, i just can’t believe that any of these dancing boys are having weird vampire sex with wings or whatever.

archive of our own also had many stories in this vein. and i think there are some important difference between the two sites worth talking about.

first of all, i think the higher engagement rate of archive of our own really enables some of the authors to get super bold. it makes Asianfanfics.com seem a little quaint, actually. like the wordcounts are waaay longer, for one. it’s uncommon for a story hosted on Asianfanfics.com to be more than a few thousand words long (most of them could easily be published in the new yorker), whereas some of these archive of our own people have written full length novels about if the members of exo were werewolves. i guess it’s just intensely demoralizing for the aff.com crew to get, like, three comments per story.

the second big difference is that i’m noticing more common themes between the ao3 crew’s writing. like stan intertextuality, or plagiarism, or whatever, but they seem to be implicitly engaging with each other’s characterizations, storylines, and tropes. i think it is because they probably all follow each other on twitter. (i have been active on twitter for three weeks now so i am an expert on fanfiction twitter.)

anyway, like not that i am a particularly big gan (cannot even list all the members), but these people seem to have reached a very specific consensus on how jackson wang, for instance, would react in a variety of situations that really surprises me? if i were to sit down and write a got7 story, i think the fuckboitude, the douchebaggery is a big part of his charm. not to be nationalist or anything, but for god’s sake, he’s from hong kong. but these people have him as very sensitive, lots of protective instincts. not that i understood what anyone on aff.com was doing with his character either, but they did all seem to be doing different things. “kudos” to that, i guess.

but: exo. wolf. i searched the “wolves” tag. this filtered the list down from 33459 stories to 52 stories. and the “wolves” tag was very different from the aff.com “wolf” tag. for the most part, aff.com liked stories where a member was a wolf (usually shapeshifting), feral boy, lots of y/n, lots of y/n dating a feral boy who is secretly a wolf.

ao3 really, really, really likes alpha/beta/omega stories. sorting by the most popular stories, only five on the first page weren’t a/b/o. and one of them was a cis f!baekhyun story, so i think the intended effect was communicated. anyway, let’s talk about some of the themes.

first of all, i’m disappointed. today’s bonus cancellation is of ao3 “wolves” writers. why the fuck are you drawing so heavily from european wolves?? there are wolves in asia!! you don’t need to keep giving their packs and ranks weird latin names. i will kill you. i hate italy. korea literally has a native wolf. i hate all of you!!! if you want to write caucasian wolves go watch that dumbass cw show!!!! my god.

the second theme (the first one was white supremacy) is that no one wants to be a wolf who fucks. i think that we need a sex positivity movement, or something, for omega rights. like, are all of you doing okay? you’re queering misogyny by inventing new genders to oppress. another level to “no one wants to be a wolf...” is the “who fucks” part. there are so many consent issues. and not even in like, a sexy intentional way? in a “i genuinely do not think this author understands how their writing comes off” way. unfortunately i am sensitive to untagged sexual coercion, and there was a lot of that.

at any rate, the aff.com wolves were at peace with being wolves, very self-actualized. the ao3 wolves know that every minute they spend alive on this bitch of an earth is suffering, and also sex.

the third theme is the evolution of y/n. y/n, who, in a startlingly woke move for aff.com, is almost always korean, is a girl main character stumbling into love, boy bands, and wolves (i think it’s because aff.com is oldschool kpop fandom, so therefore heavily asian itself in userbase). but y/n is not the main character in ao3 stories. she is the straight best friend. in what i think is a hilarious move, ao3 authors invert the gay best friend paradigm to give the gay main character a straight girl as best friend. she usually calls him “a gay,” she has lots of thoughts on boys, and she knows his sexuality better than he does and before he does. (sidebar: if all the men are gay, and all the women are straight...)

there’s a really fun twist to this, though, because the main character is always a self-insert in fanfiction. but where older fanfiction like aff.com was at peace with this and literalize it via y/n shenanigans, modern fic writers who haven’t finished distangling their complicated relationship with wanting to be a man who loves other men instead simply imbue their main character with their essence. a little voodoo doll sehun, with a lock of y/n hair.

this creates a deeply ambivalent relationship with gender in these stories. the main character is usually an omega, but one who resents being an omega. their body and its parts is usually described, if at all, as ostensibly intersex (except more offensively), but in practice, these discourses inscribe a trans body. (nb: i think cis writers approach this in a really fucked up fetishizing way, but i hope by this point we know that that goes without saying) it’s incredibly straightforward to read this, and see the underlying desires and fears in a heady cocktail of unfiltered writing that’s deeply confessional. you know when freud had people say whatever the fuck they wanted and figured they’d eventually free associate into releasing their subconscious into reality? yeah.

okay, and while we’re on the topic, let’s talk f(x) nu abo, released on may 4th, 2010.

this is a blitzy, maximalist, amped up dance hit that even has its own applause and cheers built in. it’s so fucking annoying, and i love it.

this song is on here because the second most popular kpop a/b/o story on ao3 is called “nu abo” except it’s about bts. that’s offensive enough in its own right. write something about f(x) (702 works). when will women win the right to have their own self-lubricating holes.

anyway, even though f(x) is probably innocent in all of this, i’m still cancelling amber liu.

for queerbaiting. who told her to look like ruby rose but hot? and for what? i’m also cancelling her for racism, but that wasn’t in this video.

moving on to a double feature: vixx voodoo doll and vixx chained up, released november 19, 2013 and november 9, 2015 respectively. this is because while voodoo doll is more formative, i think the fans who write fanfiction today got into kpop more recently, so we are casting a wide net.

anyway, voodoo doll is jam packed with weird pseudo-medical imagery, blood, vivisection, bondage, puppet shit, femdom, sharps, piercings, asphyxiation, dollification, stabbing/penetration metaphors, and a really sick and catchy dance. god that looks like the list of tags on the a/b/o wolf stories.

for this song, we’re cancelling you, for being way too into this song when you were 13.

vixx voodoo doll made me goth i guess! insert that pic of the your music saved me sign, except it saved me from getting into emo or pop punk probably.

chained up, comparatively, is much more tame. the only thing of note about it is that there are around 10 completely different chokers and choker looks the members wear in this music video. also they’re singing about being chained up, but that seemed a bit obvious.

we could argue that voodoo doll is gay while chained up is gay (derogatory); that voodoo doll is queer while chained up is gay; that chained up is a sensitive masterpiece of omega4omega sexuality. but we’re not going to.

we’re going to talk about what voodoo doll fanfiction was and was not. first, Aff.com had plenty of it. however, i was extremely disappointed to see that much of it did not hew to the spirit of vixx voodoo doll. my god, the voodoo doll becoming the one preying upon you disgusts me. the fantasy of the voodoo doll is that of absolute power. the idea that the doll itself has agency? instantly breaks the fantasy. i’m even not into voodoo dolls and i’m offended.

i also don’t think it’s part of the voodoo doll fantasy to release the doll. the only story on there that involved Y/N kidnapping vixx members like in the music video was unavailable because the author deactivated their account. come back qxeen what did you see.

i think this got off track, actually, in that i was mostly wondering why these people imprinted differently onto vixx voodoo doll than i did. like i don’t think you’re supposed to actually like straightforwardly absorb the morals and aesthetics of music videos like it’s propaganda. however, it’s more entertaining if you do. i hope ao3 doesn’t let me down.

out of the then 5932 works in the vixx fandom (the least out of every group so far, excluding f(x) because they’re women), 59 of them included the word “voodoo” somewhere. that’s 1%. i legitimately can’t tell if that’s high or not.

after some more cursory reading through the first page of popular results, my big takeaway is that people watched that video and wanted to be tortured and enslaved? but not, like, in a sexy way where the torturing is the point, the way where the point is to suffer bravely and beautifully, to endure the world’s harms like jesus on the cross, and then to fall into the arms of a beautiful boy who may or may not be the one hurting you in the first place.

there’s a certain predictability to these fantasies. like it’s not even masochism, which would be fun at least, it’s literally just like the desire to be beautiful, even as you suffer. and i do find that a little boring. (but, i mean, you can’t help being a woman!)

sidebar: on chained up. what’s interesting about chained up, is that most of the then 38 “chained up” works (likely because the video has no storyline) are about the members fucking during chained up promotions. no one’s ever actually chained up, but whatever. it’s fine. it’s fine!

anyway, here, more than ever, the nature of desire is stripped bare. i’ve written before [elsewhere in the unreleased tshirt cinematic universe] on how kpop boys are, through fandom, re-formed as white, or more strongly, i guess, blank slates. it’s really interesting to me how so much of this dynamic of projection is enabled by the fact that they’re asian men. they’re infantilized, feminized vessels; they’re seductive, but childlike, oblivious to their own charms, so nonthreatening; they have uncontrollable desires for sex, they’re scared of sex. and above all else, white women submit themselves to them, insert themselves into them. basically kpop fans tend to rework old school yellow peril and emasculation fantasies to reenact their own desires, often white, often cishet on them.

what i am saying is that there’s another thesis about forced feminization and its racialized subtext in here. obviously gender is a racialized construct to begin with, but like it’s fascinating to argue that when white women remake asian men according to their own desires, that is, into themselves, they (hopefully) unintentionally echo these old fears about the sexual order.

it illuminates, it seems, the underlying dynamic in the denigration of asian men, which is of course the fear of miscegenation. now, my breathtaking ability to make everything about me aside, miscegenation is interesting because it presents a racial synthesis, beginning to collapse and trouble the artificial designations of purity. so we make asian men into white women, and end up with an unsettling hybrid. i’m sure this has deep implications for me personally.

but i think we already knew that quite a few of these people had yellow fever, so let’s talk about the gender dialectic at play. basically, the above dynamic, of making men into women (whether literally, in body; or subjectively, in mind; or even relationally, as they are objectified into passive vessels for your desire) coexists with the ostensibly converse dynamic, in which the straight women desires to be a gay man. these aren’t necessarily in conflict: it could easily be that these are different writers writing different stories, that both are ways of expressing discontent with existing in a raced, gendered body, or even that the end product of both is the same.

it’s been a while without a picture. all of you now have the legal right to hunt and kill me for making a d&g joke.

anyway, what i want to talk about is how these two fantasies can coexist. that by making a man into yourself, you can speak on your own desire in a passive way. my normal interest is analyzing forced masc fantasies (albeit in chinese opera lol), and they bear little to no resemblance to this kind of fantasy. this kind offers plausible deniability, of course, because wanting things is embarrassing. but also the fantasy isn’t about wanting to be a man, it’s about having no choice but to be a failed one. the gender pessimism running through these stories is palpable. basically andrea long chu wants what wolf fanfiction writers know: everyone is an omega, and everyone hates it.

at any rate, this racialized dynamic is one that i wasn’t sure how to bring up throughout this piece, mainly because there is no definitive way for me to tell the race of any individual writer, beyond just like the clear and present vibes that i receive. but i think it structures a lot of the fantasies contained in this essay. (i felt more comfortable bringing up the gendered dynamic, because it was fairly trivial to find out the current gender of the person writing each story i was reading.)

obviously we should return to the specter haunting this conversation: the very much alive david eng. i think this sort of argument is familiar to readers of racial castration, especially his chapter on m. butterfly. btw sorry for mentioning that play 2 out of 3 posts on this blog. i have problems.

let’s talk about the parallel imagery between the depiction of gallimard’s final speech and the fanfiction i’ve described above. in it, gallimard makes himself into his own dream woman, dressing in yellowface and robes, the costume of puccini’s original madame butterfly. and he laments his lost love:

there is a vision of the orient that i have. of slender women in chong sams and kimonos who die for the love of unworthy foreign devils. who are born and raised to be the perfect women. who take whatever punishment we give them, and bounce back, strengthened by love, unconditionally.

in that, i see the self insert, and i see the sufferer of vixx voodoo fic. the fantasy that gallimard has about asian women is repeated, this time about asian men and a helpless identification with them. and on some level, gallimard’s women do have something very compelling to identify with: they suggest that there’s a way to endure white male violence without sacrifice, and even more potently, to enjoy it on some level.

but onward to the titular racial castration. eng argues that gallimard’s wilful ignorance of song’s true gender is a psychic castration -- song’s masculinity is diminished so that his own can be enhanced within their relationship. this, eng believes, acts out “richard fung’s contention that in western imaginary ‘asian and anus are conflated.’” this process stabilizes the relationship between the asian man and the white woman: they occupy the same place within the sexual dyad.

this is, i think, why some people are addicted to writing from the bottom’s perspective. again -- not implying that irl bottoms don’t exist or that bottoms are psychically castrated lol -- but rather that you can fantasize about this ideal asian man that you can come to embody. in kpop rpf, rather than it being between a white man and an asian man (unless someone’s started writing chad future fic), it’s between two asian men. so this transformation is performed. whiteness is always intruding and so i think eng is helpful here to making it visible again.

this essay isn’t a callout or actual cancellation or anything like that, i do wanna be clear. i guess i just like talking about fantasies, even the embarrassing ones, and where they come from. i think oftentimes in fandom spaces, we write a lot of stories off as idfic, and i think virtually every single one of the stories i referenced to write this fairly uncontroversially fall into that category. but i think calling something an “id” something or the other naturalizes the satisfaction it gives as purely instinctual and unconscious, when i do think there are deeper narratives at play. while i didn’t ever actually reference the base here (sorry), i do think it’s worth talking about how real world power shapes & maintains the superstructure, and thereby our fantasies.

anyway in conclusion, maybe i was the one with sexual brainworms the whole time.

Captain of the Stars

A lot of this I had already written and grabbed off of old posts, but the old ones are obviously tainted. I wanted to go back to this au and think about it some more, so here’s an up-to-date, enhanced, edited version of my Firefly AU for you guys to check out: - Captain: Geoff. He’s been in the stars since he was a boy. The normal success story- a kid from some nowhere farming planet applies for the Interplanetary Federation and gets his own ship at the age of 22. Problem is? He’s a bit of a troublemaker… which ends up with him deserting the Federation armed only with a ship and dreams of fame and fortune. Ready to get that fame and fortune however he can - even if it means punching some holes into some nasties. - First Mate/Pilot: Jack. Every ship needs a Pilot, someone who can maneuver and dive like the best of them. And Jack is, without a doubt, that man. He handles their ship like one would handle the prettiest person or the most breakable piece of art and in exchange, she dances for him. Originally a shopkeep in a backwater port down on a nowhere moon, Jack had books that charted the stars and a small light-hopper in his backyard on which he learned to fly better than the best of them. Unfortunately, he’s near-signed. While it doesn’t change his ability to fly, it stopped any dreams of getting a legitimate job with the Federation. His dreams of reaching the stars seem impossible... until a wild-eyed man with tattoos and dreams of glory gets deep in his cups and offers a chance at greatness...

- Systems Maintenance/Negotiator: Gavin. Born of high-ranking Federalist parents on Oasis-6, one of the most fervently loyal Federation planets, no one expected a white-collar boy like Gav to take to the stars. Chafing under their restrictive authority, Gavin was found more often on the streets, getting involved in stupid schemes and getting knocked around. To prevent this, his parents, owners of half the fucking galaxy, would lock him down to save their reputation. He spent this time studying books and gilding his tongue. When he gets the chance to run away to the stars, he doesn’t hesitate. A savant for technology and one of the most silver tongued criminals in this side of the galaxy, he’s a wild card and a gift.

- Gunnery: Michael. Michael is from a mining planet far out on the edges of the galaxy. A nothing planet that’s almost forgotten, Jack and Geoff pit stop there for one thing - a new bounty to collect. This is the bastion of gangs; the shithole on the edge of the government’s boundaries. There, they nearly get tackled by a ragged boy with sharp teeth and an angry voice who is running from some high-ranking gang members. When fists start flying, the two stand up for Michael and kill the opponents. Grateful - and now with nowhere to go - Michael leaps at the chance to go with them. He’s their gunner-man - anything that shoots is his territory. Cannons, laser pistols, regular guns, explosives - they’re his children and he handles them with more care than he would a child.

- Engineer: Jeremy. After a severe firefight, the Achieve [their beloved ship] limps down into a space-station not far from Earth that Was. They’re directed to the best damn shipbuilder on this hunk of iron animated with artificial gravity, but they’re given a warning: the man is drunk more often than not. Not surprisingly, they discover an older man off his rocker with drink, but his buff apprentice is fully sober and extremely talented at fixing ships. Jeremy is all thick accent and bluster, but they find out he’s a kid with a bad past that was working to try to get a jump out of this shithole space-station. They desperately need someone on hand to fix their ship, so Jeremy is offered a job. It’s not long before him, Michael, and Gavin are thick as ... well, thieves.

- Companion: Fiona. Don’t you dare call Fiona a whore, because she’ll both cut you physically and cut you from the list of clients for good. She has a profitable network of high ranking women that she provides companionship for and through this, she comes back with secrets and money that help enhance the Achieves’ deals. With the companion’s knowledge of seduction and manipulation, she also has a vicious penchant for knives and can kill anyone before they even realize they’re in danger. Just don’t try to ask her for services when she’s not on the job.

- Medic: Matt. - It quickly is obvious that Jack’s basic medical knowledge isn’t going to cover what they need. At a pitstop on a city-planet deeper inside the Federation, Geoff comes back with their new doctor... a boy looking like he couldn’t even be out of med school. Everyone is skeptical, but Matt is extremely talented. The best part about him is that he has tangible experience in many different areas but doesn’t ask questions. He can close a bullet hole, keep people alive when they’re bleeding out, heal a burn, or stitch a laceration. Because of this, they forgive his vices (eating, laziness, etc.) He’s not bad with a gun either, when push comes to shove. They’re lucky to have him, honestly.

- Information/Secrets/Navigation: The Twins Trevor and Alfredo. The info-gathering racket the Twins had before they fled to the Achieve was the likes in which the original crew on the Achieve had never hoped to touch. They use the Achieve as a home base for their own profitable business as the ship is a safe place for two runaways from the Feds. When they’re on board, they’re extreme help with the nav systems, with info on big scores, etc. They know they need to continue providing incentive for Geoff to let them stow away, and so their secrets are bigger every time they return from an info-gathering mission. They’re also extremely grateful to the crew of the Achieve for keeping Alfredo alive after almost dying during one of their many escapes. That sort of blood debt isn’t solved easily. Plus, the Twins like it there. The Achieve is their home and the crew is their family, forever and always. Hack-offs and death missions and all.

- Wildcard: Lindsay - The thing with a chaos goddess is that no one can hold her down. Despite the fact that she loves her home on the Achieve, she doesn’t always stay there. She’s welcome a bunk and a home whenever she wants it (and she takes that a lot), but she also has a life outside of the Achieve too. She tends to take her shuttle down on offworld planets, working deals and enterprises that allowed her to stay alive in this crazy universe for so long. She has connections that branch far, far beyond their little crew… people in a mysterious gang called RWBY (no one knows what the letters stand for and frankly, everyone’s too afraid to ask), a quiet assassin named Meg who, like a siren, kills every man she seduces, etc. Lindsay knows how and where to find them and is always around to help or cause mischief when she’s on board. The whole crew loves her, even if they treat her with a sort of wary respect.

Their ship? The Achieve. An older model, but she flies better than anything in the skies. Sleek and upgraded, she’s a general army-grade ship with modifications to make it more of a home. Everyone has a bunk, there’s a common room and a kitchen, and the control room is home to anyone with curiosity. Their mission? To smuggle and fight their way to millions, taking odd jobs and illegal enterprises to make fortunes and to just keep flying. They’re free and they have each other and in the end, that’s all they really need.

Hey. Can I have a headcannon where (Eyeless jack, Laughing Jack, Jane, Liu, Masky) seeing their s/o Masturbating. Lol not sorry

Anonymous Asked : Hey, I have a headcannon with (eyeless jack, masky, Nina, liu, Toby) seeing there s/o hitting there meat?. Ya know like master-bastion. Sorry if this seem pretty fuck up.

____________

So I got two Asks for the same topic and Decided to Just Merge Everything Up in One post! :D I Hope you'll Enjoy It!

Catching Their s/o Masturbating :

Eyeless Jack :

❧ This had been going on for awhile

❧ And by 'that' it means you have been feeling aroused abnormally for some reason.

❧ You're starting to think Jack's Demon Thingy is rubbing off on you.

❧ He wasn't home one time and you just couldn't take it anymore.

❧ You ended up on your bed squirming and moaning his name.

❧ With two of your fingers inside you pumping in and out in a steady pace.

❧ You underestimated Jack's Demon abilities because he could hear your moans miles away from the mansion.

❧ When he heard his name escape your sweet plump lips he immediately finished the Job and came home as fast as he could.

❧ His ears picked up on every dirty noise you made and it made him hold back a growl.

❧ He didn't barge in immediately though.

❧ He peeked through the door and saw your figure on the bed and the expression on your face made it obvious of how needy you were for him.

❧ The moment you moaned out his name again he didn't hesitate to barge in and lock the doors once he was inside.

❧ You were embarrassed and surprised your face was flushed red.

❧ Your actions came to a halt your fingers still inside you.

❧ this demon boi is really fast when it comes to you though.

❧ You just took your eyes away from him for 2 seconds and he was gone.

❧ He was already right behind you purring grabbing your hand and he guided your fingers , continuing to pump in and out of your slick covered hole with his guidance.

❧ " Tsk. Teasing me in the middle of a Job, Naughty princess. I think I spoiled you too much but all you had to do was ask~ and I'll gladly spread your legs open and shove my cock in and out of you"

❧ You threw your head back mewling when he added his own long and slender finger inside you.

❧ " Don't worry princess I'll fuck you so good you'll never be needy for a week~ "

Laughing Jack :

❋ This fucking clown had been toying with you since the very beginning.

❋ He invited everyone to his carnival for the day

❋ And he had been teasing you since the very beginning, From gentle caresses to harsh and rough gropes . And don't even get me started on how he starts dirty talking you while everyone else was standing there so unaware.

❋ The worst part? He had given you a candy to 'suck' on and that candy was laced with some sort of aphrodisiac and you were foolish enough to eat that candy.

❋ You knew this clown had something up his sleeves when he started laughing like a maniac when you arrived

❋ You were blinded with desire and want for him and just imagining how good he could eat you out made you wet.

❋ You were desperate but you still stood your ground because of that little something called pride. Yeah you had it in you but right now you definitely need something in you.

❋ You were slightly dizzy because if suppressing it for too long and your body felt so hot. Your face was red and you were unconsciously rubbing your thighs together..

❋ That clown was enjoying the show.

❋ Fuck him...

❋ But most especially you wanted him to fuck you right now.

❋ ' Beg ' he whispered and you were having none of it. Being the stubborn person you are.

❋ So you immediately found your way to the bathroom where you immediately took off your pants and started doing the deed.

❋ Moaning and panting you began to fasten your pace while adding another digit at the same time imagining L.J's tongue swirl inside your squelching pussy.

❋ Unbeknownst to you that a monochrome clown had followed you inside and was watching you from the shadows.

❋ " Well you seem to be enjoying yourself Baby Sweets~ if you only begged for me to give it to you you wouldn't have suffered "

❋ Ah yes the annoying clown who led you to this mess in the first place.

❋ apparently the drug was strong and your mind began to feel fuzzy.

❋ " A-ah~ Please~ I want you"

❋ With those simple words your hand was pushed back and L.J had already spread your legs wide open his long tongue dragging itself along your wet clit which earned him a desperate and shaky moan from you.

❋ " Sit tight Baby Sweets, I haven't eaten yet and you're my main course~"

Liu :

❦ Oh well this Half Sweet Half Asshole Boy of yours was always out on missions and For the past Week he was barely home.

❦ Which Left You Needy and desperate for him.

❦ You Tried Reaching Out to Him, Grabbing his attention in every way you could.

❦ But he's either and idiot or just innocently oblivious.

❦ The last attempt was made and Of Course Liu was unaware bit you knew full well that Sully was aware.

❦ so You gave up and let him have his way.

❦ One night however you couldn't sleep and needed something to Tire you out.

❦ That was when you remembered a gift your annoying cousin gifted you as a joke.

A dildo.

❦ So why not use it?

❦ That's exactly what you Did.

❦ Arching your back as you muffled your moans with the piece of clothing you gagged yourself with as the silicon material pumped in and out of your slick covered pussy at the same time imagining it was Liu.

❦ You didn't know you needed it this much.

❦ Your other hand groping and touching your breast as you bucked your hips on the silicon material deep inside you.

❦ You never notice your Oblivious Pudding had arrived long ago watching your every move.

❦ You didn't notice him so he took it offensively thinking you ignore him.

❦ So he took the initiative this Time.

❦ You didn't get to react when the dildo was yanked away from you and a future bigger than yours hovered over you with fierce eyes and an aroused expression.

❦ " You have me and you're using a Toy to Satisfy you? "

❦ He growled out and you knew it was a combination of Liu and Sully because of the mix of two voices.

❦ The nerve he had when he said that. You had been asking him to for awhile. Wow he's an idiot.

❦ You didn't answer him and he didn't take that lightly.

❦ he pushed his still clothed and hardened cock onto your dripping pussy making you Gasp and look down.

❦ " I'll make sure you're never using another Toy when I'm done with you... You'll only crave my Dick "

Jane :

❆ You and Jane had a small misunderstanding but it led to an argument which caused you two to ignore each other's existence for the past few days.

❆ You unfortunately made the mistake to Side with Jeff on what's more delicious Ketchup or Mustard.

❆ She didn't appreciate that because she was expecting you to take her side and she never thought you'd actually side with her most hated enemy.

❆ well it was a big turn on for her.

❆ You were speechless and horny at the same time you were so conflicted with your emotions you didn't notice Jane climbing on your lap smirking down on you.

❆ " If I knew this would be a sight I'd be welcomed with I would have came here earlier~ "

Nina :

▶ You were also high key jealous of how much she likes smile child... Mostly known as Jeff.

▶ You never brought up sex with her because you were a bit shy to ask.

▶ But as you observed Nina was oblivious and she sometimes does stuff to make you horny without even trying.

▶ Honestly you try to purify yourself with these unholy thoughts as much as you could but day by day it gets worst and your desire for her growing stronger.

▶ You couldn't handle it anymore so it had you seated on your bed Using Your Hands to Satisfy You moaning her name having one if her shirts beside you.

▶ You were close but Nina being Nina came in at the most unfortunate Time.

▶ You couldn't force anything out of your mouth and she was staring at you for awhile before locking the door and stripping each piece of clothing on her one by one.

▶ once she was on top of you she was completely bare and her smirk was growing wider.

▶ " Finally a Good Reason To Fuck You ~"

Toby :

♗ well let's just say you have a high sexual drive .

♗ Of course You and him had sex more than one time and you'd be lying if you said you didn't savor every inch of this boy.

♗ You love how you can Have him acting like a shy kitten at first but He could immediately dominate your ass the minute he'd snap and growl.

♗ But Your high sexual drive is something you'd keep to yourself for one reason. You didn't want to have him thinking negatively about you and it might scare him.

♗ He picked you up from your position on your chair and he sat there himself with you straddling him your folds coming in contact with His hardened Tip smeared with Precum mixed with your slick.

♗ You're definitely Getting a Lot of Fucks starting now.

Masky :

✵ Your Boyfriend was a natural born asshole and the two of you often make bets. But this time you Lost Big time.

✵ You were unfortunate enough to get a dare from Masky that can have your toes curling.

✵ 5 Hours of Having a Vibrator inside you was bad... Having two vibrators on both your holes was terrible.

✵ You Could barely make a straight face and Masky was holding the switch.

✵ He would purposely turn it to maximum if you were talking to someone and you couldn't even make one single sentence without groaning, stuttering or whimpering.

✵ You couldn't walk straight or even Think straight.

I Rewrite “The Force Awakens”

BACKGROUND INFO:

It has been thirty years since the Battle of Endor. The NEW REPUBLIC rules most of the Galaxy. However, the Republic is spread thin fighting Imperial Holdout factions, which still control pockets of the Outer Rim and key worlds along hyperspace routes. Fortunately, none of these Holdouts are currently working together. The largest surviving holdout is the FIRST ORDER, which holds a large portion of the Southwest Galaxy. Worst of all, they are working on what looks like a Death Star, STARKILLER BASE. Because of this threat, the New Republic has sent a group of Special Forces, led by General LEIA ORGANA to take down the FIRST ORDER, led by the mysterious REGENT SNOKE. Rumors imply SNOKE is a powerful Force-User, as is his apprentice, REY. Unfortunately, LUKE SKYWALKER, the last JEDI KNIGHT is nowhere to be found. He disappeared seven years ago. The last person to see him was his apprentice and nephew, BEN SOLO, who has been looking for him ever since…

PLOT SUMMARY:

The movie opens largely the same. POE DAMERON is visiting JAKKU, a planet on the border between NEW REPUBLIC and FIRST ORDER space, meeting LOR SAN TEKKA, picking up a map to Luke’s whereabouts. Unfortunately, the meeting is interrupted by REY, who has arrived with a battalion of Stormtroopers, which includes FN-2187. You know the scene. POE DAMERON is taken captive, but not before he gives the map to BB-8, instructing him to “Find Ben. Get help.” The dialogue between REY and LOR SAN TEKKA lets us know this is her homeworld. She was abandoned here as a child before LUKE SKYWALKER found her and took her away. She leaves the village after ordering it destroyed, returning to her Star Destroyer.

There, she meets with her subordinates, ADMIRAL HUX, CAPTAIN PHASMA, and FN-2187. There, they go over the fact that they failed to get the map, but they suspect POE had a companion on JAKKU. The basics of the politics are explained: right now the REPUBLIC is stretched too thin to give the FIRST ORDER their full attention. However, the REPUBLIC is slowly taking out the other Imperial holdouts, and certain Senators are calling for a full-scale invasion of FIRST ORDER SPACE. The call to invade is particularly being made by the Senator from HOSNIAN PRIME. “HOSNIAN PRIME?” HUX asks. “That’s in the Core itself, practically next to Coruscant. The entire Republic fleet must stand between us and them.” His frown turns into a wicked grin, and he only says one word. “Perfect.” No further detail is given. The conversation turns to FN-2187, and why he’s here. Rey reveals her plan: POE DAMERON must escape with FN’s help. His ability to shield his mind from the Force will allow him to infiltrate the NEW REPUBLIC base under the nose of BEN SOLO. He will then let the NEW REPUBLIC know where to find LEIA so they can kill her, destroying their morale. More importantly, FN is to get his hands on the map to LUKE SKYWALKER.

FN does as he is told. He helps POE break out, notably avoiding shooting his fellow STORMTROOPERS. POE gives FN the new name of FINN. FINN is notably struck by this, in a “I’ve never had a name before” kind of way. However, their escape is detected, and the TIE squadrons shoot them down, and POE seems to die. FINN is left stranded in the JAKKU desert. However, he finds BB-8, who has been in the care of BEN SOLO, who we see on screen for the first time. We learn he has been trying to find a ship offworld, as POE had their ride. The scene then unfolds largely the same as before. FINN and BEN make their way offworld in the MILLENIUM FALCON. With neither being an experienced pilot, they get lost, sending the MILLENIUM FALCON quite a ways off course into the OUTER RIM, which is dominated by Pirates. Speaking of Pirates, a group of them capture our heroes, and declare their intention to sell the ship (and its crew) on the black market. They were, in fact, just about to sell some other stolen goods to some dealers that are arriving now… except these dealers start firing on the pirates. Meanwhile, the pirate ship is taken and boarded by the leader of these vigilantes… HAN SOLO, with the ever faithful CHEWBACCA at his side. We learn that HAN has dedicated himself to hunting down the pirates and slavers that prey on the innocent people of the OUTER RIM, since the NEW REPUBLIC won’t pay attention to this area. His vigilante crew includes PAIGE TICO, who led the shootout while HAN disabled the ship. (ROSE is also among them, but apart from a mention by PAIGE perhaps, we won’t see her.)

It is only then that HAN realizes that one of the people he has rescued is his own son, BEN. The two of them catch up on the FALCON, with FINN as their guest. We hear FINN’S cover story: he is a child soldier who didn’t like how expendable he was. We get a feeling he may be lying to himself. From their conversation, we learn the following: when BEN was four, he was sent to live with LUKE to train to be a Jedi. HAN was so angry at losing his son that he left LEIA, and admits that he still hasn’t forgiven her for separating them. For some years, BEN trained as a JEDI along with several other children, including, sadly, REY. For some reason, one day REY snapped, and killed her fellow students, with BEN being the only surviving student. (He was fourteen, by the way. REY was eighteen.) The only other survivor, LUKE, found BEN among the wreckage. He told BEN to go find his mother, while he would “do something I should have done years ago.” BEN obeyed, but never saw LUKE again. BEN says he is following LUKE’S trail to a lost JEDI TEMPLE. HAN expresses skepticism. If LUKE was doing anything useful, where is he now? HAN invites BEN to rest and recuperate with his old friend, MAZ KANATA.

Meanwhile, we go to STARKILLER BASE. It is a large base, similar to the DEATH STAR in all aspects, save one. Above the main laser, there is a strange metal ring. (It must be featured prominently in the shot.) REY arrives, accompanied by her underlings, and is met by COMMANDER PRYDE, a spymaster of the FIRST ORDER. The conversation establishes that the FIRST ORDER rose to prominence because they came across some mysterious weapons depots and Imperial credit stores that allowed them to quickly rebuild their forces. They have continued, in fact, to have more lucky finds like this. PRYDE’S job has been to determine if they have a mysterious benefactor, and what he wants. PRYDE’S travels have taken him “from Kamino to Moraband.” He admits he has found nothing, and asks if STARKILLER BASE is ready. HUX confirms it is, and says, “The GATE RING should function perfectly.” PRYDE leaves for BASTION, the FIRST ORDER capital, before letting REY know her master, REGENT SNOKE, is waiting for her.

We cut from that to TAKODANA, where we meet MAZ KANATA. BEN asks MAZ to contact LEIA to meet them there, and let her know POE is dead. Exploring, he discovers ANAKIN’S lightsaber, which triggers a flashback. He is a child, eating with his fellow students. REY walks in, clearly cut up and hurt. One student confronts her, asking where LUKE is. “LUKE is dead. Get out of my way or you’ll be too.” Scared, the students try to take her down, but she cuts through them like butter. Terrified, BEN is backed into a corner. She tries to persuade him to put down his sword, but he brings down the building on them both. Later, he is found by LUKE and R2-D2. The flashback ends with MAZ meeting him. She gives him the lightsaber, as she feels it is his birthright. Finally, FINN calls the FIRST ORDER, letting them know the Map, BEN SOLO and LEIA are all about to be on the same planet.

Sorry to cut away from all that, but we finally get to see REGENT SNOKE! He's not CGI this time, unless we want to make him an already established alien species. (He can still be played by Andy Serkis.) He asks about REY'S progress in hunting down LUKE, and says she may not be ready to face her old Master. REY disagrees, and sets off to TAKODANA. Meanwhile, HUX is given the order to demonstrate the new power of the FIRST ORDER. He calls up the SENATE in a standard, "supervillain addresses the masses scene". (Hux's actor should chew the scenery like bubble gum.) We now find out what makes STARKILLER BASE special: the "gate ring" lets them fire their laser at any point in the galaxy without moving! HUX demonstrates this by destroying HOSNIAN PRIME, which sends the SENATE into a panic!

We cut to TAKODANA, where BEN falls down, overcome by the destruction he just sensed in the Force. The destruction of HOSNIAN PRIME is announced over the HoloNet. HAN lets us know the situation is serious, as he says something to the effect of, “HOSNIAN PRIME? The FIRST ORDER is too far away. Wait? They can do WHAT???” But ain’t nobody got time for that! The FIRST ORDER is attacking! FINN comes out to be picked up, but instead he is attacked by TR-8R! He tries to tell him he’s a double agent, but TR-8R doesn’t listen, and FINN is forced to kill him in self-defense. FINN is captured by stormtroopers, and only not killed because CAPTAIN PHASMA arrives, saying “Excellent work, FN-2187!” As FINN notes, she should have told the other Stormtroopers not to attack him, as he just killed one of his friends for nothing. PHASMA basically shrugs and says, “Hey, had to keep it secret.” FINN is clearly shocked and quite angry, but they’re off!

While all this is going on, HAN tells BEN to get out with BB-8. BEN naturally objects, but HAN says, “No matter what, they can’t know where LUKE is.” BEN proceeds to run, before being confronted by REY. BB-8 runs off while BEN faces REY. BEN futilely tries to drive her off with his blaster, which does not work, and REY’S facial expression seems to say, “Really? When has that ever worked?” She advances on him, and while he fumbles with his lightsaber, she knocks him out with the Force. She leaves carrying him with the Force, telling the FIRST ORDER to leave.

Just as they’re doing so, the NEW REPUBLIC force arrives, led by LEIA and POE DAMERON! (Who, as it turns out, is not dead.) However, the only person there to meet them is HAN, who is not happy to see LEIA. Their conversation tells us about BEN’S childhood. He has had trouble controlling his Force Powers, particularly when sleeping. When he was four, his power nearly destroyed their house. LEIA naturally decided she and HAN weren’t safe around him, and gave him to LUKE for training as a JEDI. HAN never forgave her for that, and left. She brings HAN and his crew back to the NEW REPUBLIC hideout to discuss plans to take down STARKILLER BASE. The idea is right now, several REPUBLIC worlds are in panic that they could be next, calling for immediate surrender. Taking out STARKILLER will let the REPUBLIC take out the FIRST ORDER. HAN points out that BEN is on STARKILLER BASE, and he might die if they blow up the base. LEIA agrees, but she can’t call off the attack. If another world suffers the fate of HOSNIAN PRIME or ALDERAAN, she would be responsible for millions of deaths, compared to just one. She tells HAN to try to save BEN, as it will take some time for her to get her fleet of X-WINGS and Y-WINGS ready. She also tells him to take out the shield generator for the base.

Speaking of BEN, we cut to him, strapped to a table, with REY sitting beside him. As REY explained, he has been shot up with a bunch of sedatives that are only beginning to wear off. Their conversation is surprisingly cordial, at least on her end. She expresses her surprise that he’s not with LUKE, as they were very close at the Academy. She reads his mind to find out LUKE’S location, but he is able to reverse the stream, and gets a look in her mind. He sees something that terrifies him. She simply says, “Well, now you know,” and leaves to report to SNOKE. She leaves behind a group of Stormtroopers, ordering them not to let BEN leave until she sends for him. HAN and CHEWIE land on STARKILLER in the FALCON. After this, FINN arrives alone, claiming he is here to take BEN to REY. The commanding officer is skeptical, as FINN is one soldier. He calls in to clear the transfer, before FINN shoots the other Stormtroopers. There is a call in, which FINN fumbles before shooting the intercom. He proceeds to let BEN out of his bindings, and BEN proceeds to strangle him. (As you do…) FINN only talks BEN out of killing him by pointing out BEN is in no fit state to fly. They make their way to the hangar, where they find the FALCON. Realizing HAN is likely there, BEN calls him on the comlink. They get back in touch, with HAN telling BEN to stay put while he takes out the shields. FINN interjects, saying he knows how to turn off the shields more subtly. HAN tells them to go do it while he sets up explosives on the base. (The idea is that they will distract the FIRST ORDER while POE attacks.) FINN and BEN proceed to press-gang PHASMA into turning off the shield, before leaving her in the trash compactor. Unfortunately, HAN is captured by some STORMTROOPERS, who take him to REY.

REY is very happy with this, as she is furious BEN has escaped. She makes an announcement over the intercom, saying, “BEN, I have your father. If you want to see him alive again, come to the main antechamber in one hour.” She proceeds to pour out a drink for herself and Han. She is somewhat starstruck by HAN SOLO, saying he is legendary, and LUKE mentioned him a lot. She openly speculates what she’ll do to LUKE when she meets him. She says SNOKE expects her to kill him, but she wants to thank him. After all, if not for, she would have stayed on JAKKU forever. SNOKE would not have found her, and she certainly would have never found out about her father. HAN asks her what the hell she’s talking about. REY notes that for years, no one has asked why SNOKE refers to himself as “REGENT” SNOKE. As she points out, a regent has one job: rule until the prince, or in her case, the princess, is ready to rule. REY, as she claims, is the daughter of none other than EMPEROR PALPATINE himself. HAN is skeptical. PALPATINE never had a family. Moreover, he died thirty years ago, and REY is still in her twenties. REY then clarifies; PALPATINE never wanted children, but his court kept a sample of his DNA preserved just in case. Some time after his death, this DNA was used to create a child. In order to protect her from the NEW REPUBLIC, she was hidden on a backwater world until she could be brought to safety. Unfortunately, the scientists were arrested for war crimes, and by the time SNOKE found out about her, he didn’t know where she was. HAN is skeptical, which annoys REY significantly. But now it’s time to meet BEN.

They meet in the antechamber, with HAN surrounded by stormtroopers. There, REY delivers her ultimatum: if BEN surrenders himself to her, HAN will go free. There is a prisoner exchange, and as they pass each other, HAN simply says, “I’m sorry.” He grabs BEN’S blaster, and begins firing wildly at the Stormtroopers. As he calculated, the Stormtroopers start firing back, and one shoots him in the chest. BEN lets out a massive scream, which begins to tear the room apart in a display of raw Force Power. HAN’S last words are just, “Get out of here.” FINN takes the hint, and tears BEN away, just as POE begins his attack on STARKILLER BASE, accompanied by HAN’S gang, including PAIGE TICO. Unfortunately, they are not able to destroy the base, but they are able to destroy the gate ring, meaning that, until it is repaired, STARKILLER will not be able to fire from far away. POE, under LEIA’S orders, orders a retreat.

While this is happening, REY confronts BEN and FINN. First FINN tries to fight her off, but not successfully. It is not until BEN gets ANAKIN’S lightsaber out that this becomes a real fight. Even then, it is clear REY has the upper hand, and she is only not killing BEN because she wants him alive. Nonetheless, BEN manages to land a lucky cut, temporarily stopping REY. After this, a stray bomb landing on the base separates them, and FINN and BEN manage to make it to the FALCON. They take the FALCON back to LEIA. There, LEIA tells BEN to go find LUKE, and get his help. Meanwhile, she and POE will make their way back to REPUBLIC space. She will let them know the FIRST ORDER is vulnerable, but only if they attack quickly. She has to abandon the base, as the FIRST ORDER will almost certainly follow them in order to silence her. The movie closes with BEN landing on AHCH-TO, finding a hooded LUKE, and handing him his lightsaber. The two men look each other in the eyes after years of being apart, and the credits roll.
