#MITUNA : always had no brain and two hearts .

[justamasskinnie]

I kinda like writing small letters/notes to people I remember so, following my current shift: Davesprite (or my nickname, Ace) letters!

Egbert 2: Man. "Other Dave". You made me feel like an imposter and I get that you probably didn't realise how bad it hurt me but I was literally telling you that it hurt. Why couldn't you just listen... Why was I always 'the other one'? Even then, I still hope you're ok, n I don't want you to feel bad or anything 🐤 You were a kid, you didn't know, I wish we communicated better🐤 That's on me too though, I should've stuck around and talked but instead I flew off, I'm sorry

Dave: Nah, I know I'm biased cause we're the same damn person but you were chill, think you were the only one (of the four of you) to just immediately accept me as separate- so 🐤 thanks I guess

Terezi: I'm not 🐤 I'm not entirely sure why my brains demanding I write to you? But uh.. You're badass, like, really fuckin cool 🐤 I wonder sometimes if you ever got to do 'law type things' which I guess must've been a phrase we used a lot 🐤🐤 I get really calm feelings whin i think of you, so i think that means we had a pretty good relationship, nice 🐤

Karkattttt: hi yes, p sure it annoyed you when I used to type your name weird, you're welcome ♠️ I think you once described our relationship as "pitch"? I disagree but sure ok 🐤🐤 I get the strong feeling we argued 80% of the time but also have the feeling that you tried to therapy me at some point?? Which is funny to me, so if that happened thanks for the laugh 🐤🐤🐤 also thanks for never making fun of my chirps or anythin, you were actually p cool 🐤 I get why Dave liked you so much 🐤🐤

Mituna: Hi?? 2.0 of why does brain demand this?? I'm not even sure I remember meeting you but I must've, right? Idk, it's weird 🐤 btw 🐤 why do I remember Equius immediately after I think of you? I need answers 🐤 WAIT. Why'd my brain just tell me "that's your alien brother 😁"?? I mean 🐤 sure ok?? Next question- who adopted who? And also why? And when? Bet we annoyed the hell out of everyone with Hal 🐤 We would've been the WORST trio hehe🐤

Roxy: Listen,, listen to me,, come here,, yeah, now 🐤🐤 I'm a bird ghost dude 😁 yw 🐤 breaking news aside, please tell me you managed to get help for your uh.. reliance? On alcohol 🐤 was kinda scary seeing you like that :/

Davepetasprite(squared): I. Don't know why I feel like I met you? But hey 🐤 I don't envy you guys, it's one thing to be two active minds at once but one of you is a cat and the other is a bird 🐤🐤🐤 idk how the hell you were more chill than me, maybe that was Nepeta's influence? Anyway, I hope you're doing good? And I really want answers about how we met lmao

Brosprite: you definitely existed. Wish you didn't. Actually I'm kinda curious what happened to you, you seemed to just vanish, hope you didn't become a double sprite, that'd complicate my feelings

Jade: I have questions 🐤 mostly why you thought spriting your dog who embodied the entire holy spirit was a good move? Though tbf 🐤 tf was Egbert thinking when he threw one of those clowns into theirs? Also 🐤🐤 how's the memory? Any better? Sorry for abandoning you on the ship, I should've stuck around, you deserved better anyway 🐤

Caliborn: episode 3 of brain makes demands 🐤 hey, so, I think? We were cool? Somehow 🐤🐤 idk, not even sure how we met but you seemed chill surprisingly 🐤 maybe I just met the right version of you..

Hal: Brother. That's all- ok not really 🐤 You made me feel listened to n understood, I guess cause we were in the same position huh? We both kinda got treated as 'the other/lesser one' so ig we just got eachother, it was nice to have my own brother- like, a decent brother, not Bro. Thanks for just- being there, dork 🐤🐤

John/June/Joan (og timeline): Look 🐤 I know we never had a heart to heart or anything and I was always hiding behind irony and indifference. But. You really meant a lot to me 🐤 I don't know what extent my feelings went to but I mean it, I trusted you with my everything even when I couldn't let myself show that 🐤 I'm so sorry I couldn't do more to save you.. I can't help but still be annoyed that you ignored me and listened to some random alien but whatever, I just hope if you're around in this world you're ok🐤

Anyway- uh- sorry for all the "🐤" it just felt right? Maybe that's how I used to break up written sentences instead of "." cause I used to chirp between sentences unless I didn't like whoever I was talking to or I was mad at em for whatever reason

You don't gotta read any of this

[onlynear]

im in such a MOOD abt this one lately like... i don’t even have anything specific i want to say i just keep thinking about his visions and how he warned everyone (despite his position in the friend group as the one who doesn’t really take anything seriously, as the one who fires off a few curse words and becomes unbearable on a bad day) that they were going to DIE and how he saw them all die over and over again and knew that the only way he could do anything about it was to tell someone bigger and stronger than him because well he’s the prophet, not the hero!!

until suddenly he’s got no choice to be the hero because they forced it on him -- through their ignorance mituna believes he was forced to take up the mantle, rise to a position he never wanted nor thought he could have and save all of these ungrateful assholes that he loves and hates from the fates that he sees almost every hour of every day, and it almost kills him. he comes back different, barely the reflection of their mituna, unable to explain what happened to him without inviting it back in to hurt him, without hurting himself all over again (because thinking of what happened, kurloz’s involvement with what happened, that hurts), unable to make them understand that he did this for them!!

and then they die. his sacrifice was for NOTHING because they were always playing a doomed session, they always had to scratch it and start again and mituna can be fixed by aranea but ISN’T, so he gets harder to deal with in much the same way his friends do but because he isn’t all there his perception of time is off and he sees his friends get worse, sees them change in ways he sometimes literally does not have the capacity to comprehend... and the fact of the matter is that he’s clinging on JUST enough to know how far gone he is, just enough to panic that one day he might lose what shreds of himself he has left and give over to what happened to him completely!! 

and his friends, the ones he gave himself over to protect even though it didn’t matter, they might appreciate it at first, when they’re alive, but when they all die? when nothing MATTERS and they’re all getting on each other’s nerves and they’re stuck with mituna and i love him but he isn’t easy to be around, especially surrounded by beforans who already have the natural instinct to want to Look After mutants, and his sacrifice starts to mean less and less until actually they all just think he’s STUPID for doing it!! im upset

I Can’t believe I’m doing this.... Pt. 2

Here’s part two... and behold....

Full Name: Hananoa Esshlee (Pronouced S(The letter)-She-Lee) (Alternian Incarnation of Hannah Elides)

Timeline: Alternate Alpha Timelines (A Timeline where the Beforus Trolls (Kankri and others) took the place of the Alternian Twelve (Karkat and company)

Age: 7.8 sweeps old

Blood Caste: Limeblood

Symbol: Sign of Camini

Strife Specibus: Bladekind (Odachi and Glaive), Wirekind (Garrote Wire)

Mutation: Yes | If Yes, what: Wings

Relationships: Meenah Peixes (Moirail), Meulin Leijion (Moirail), Cronus Ampora (Matesprit), Kurloz Makara (Moirail), Horuss Zahhak (Onesided Red Feelings= Hana had developed flushed feeling for Horuss in the past/Moirail), Damara Megido (Kismesis (Onesided= Damara hates Hananoa for some unknown reason), Porrim Maryam (Motherly Moirallegiance), Kankri Vantas (Brotherly Moirallegiance), Roxy LaLonde (Moirail), Jane Crocker (Moirail)

God-Tier: Slyph of Heart (Passive) (Hananoa can heal and mend the relationships of others around her, at the expense of her own relationships (Cronus however refuses to give up on their Matespritship as he admitted that she was the one to give him his hope back. And her Moirail also refuse to end their Moirallegiances with her, strangely the only one effected was Damara, who ended their Kismesiship after Hana healed her broken heart after Rufioh broke up with her.) she can also heal a target’s broken or severed soul based abilities. For instance, repairing Horuss’ Page God tier powers after he lost them in a fight against Damara.) (In short, Hananoa can fix and heal a person’s bonds with others or themselves, restoring a more healthier version of themselves, and fixing their broken god tier abilities.)

One of the very few Limebloods left in existence in her timeline, Hananoa Esshlee or “Hana” by her Matesprit, Cronus and by her friends, is the thirteenth member of the Beforus trolls that aid Dirk and the other three humans during an alternate Alpha timeline. Aranea explains that much like Rufioh, Hananoa was born with her wings, that and the fact she was a limeblood by birth led to her becoming outcasted by society and left alone in the wilderness until Horuss found her and took her in. 

In the sweeps that followed, Hana developed flushed feeling for Horuss while she helped him build robots, but her feelings weren’t reciprocated when Horuss became Matesprits with Rufioh, and instead she became his Moirail despite wanting to be more with him. (This changes in the current Beta Timeline, where Equius, Horuss’ beta counterpart did accept Hannah’s flushed feelings, Hananoa’s reincarnation.)

Hananoa continued to be a wonderful Moirail for Horuss until he introduced her to the other Trolls... and to Cronus. Both Hananoa and Cronus instantly clicked with on another and decided to become Matesprits after two sweeps of trial based dating, the girl immediately developing red feeling for the Ampora when he called her wings, a part of her she was ashamed of, beautiful.

The day that Hananoa went god tier was a moment that sealed her fate as someone who went against the universe and on her own path.

And what sealed it was that Hana was intended to have a Doom Aspect, much like Mituna, but either from some slip in the universe or the fact that Hananoa worked tirelessly to help others, Hananoa was given the Heart Aspect. Strangely, Aranea theorized that Hananoa’s very outgoing and social life is unlike her later reincarnation Hannah, her happy go lucky and emotionally out there attitude towards life has led to the young troll gaining a loving Matesprit, many healthy Moirailships and, unfortunately one Kismesis’ (which Damara dissolves after Hana used her newfound Slyph of Heart powers to mend her broken heart back to it’s original more confident state, allowing Damara to take a more deep look at her past actions and reinvent herself).

Sadly, her journey came to a tragic end when she was stabbed through the heart by a Grimdark possessed Dirk (who went on to become Ultimate Dirk in that timeline) after she turned him down on the offer of becoming his Matesprit. 

Hananoa then ceased to exist in that failed timeline, unable to join Cronus and the other trolls in Meenah’s created safe haven in the dream bubbles. Her soul and very essence going onto another timeline where she was reborn as current Beta Timeline Hannah Elides (In story current).

Loves: Scarves, flying, Cronus (seriously those two are crazy about each other), human monster movies, Mac and cheese, Feelings Jams, being there for her friends, helping others, healing others, Spending time with Meulin and Kurloz, listening to Cronus’ music, trying out new clothes and ice cream

Hates: Liars, bullies, Kankri’s lectures, the dark, seeing her friends sad, seeing her friends hurt, Doritos (after eating a bad batch), and brain freezes

Things to Know:

1. Hana and Cronus’ Matespritship is actually like the Matespritship between Latula and Mituna, the pair bringing out the best in each other and providing comfort to one another if they needed it. Their favorite pastimes are cuddling and taking midnight walks together.

2. Hananoa had a nervous tick, whenever she became nervous or visibly shaken, her wings would twitch and flutter violently while her hair stood on end (the Studio Ghibli hair thing). Cronus claims that it’s the cutest thing he’s ever seen and is an easy way for him to know when to be by her side.

3. When Dirk, Jane, Jake and Roxy introduced human culture to the trolls, Hana and Cronus both enjoyed watching the Smokey and the Bandit trilogy, Star Wars and the Princess Bride the most. Alone Hananoa enjoyed the Universal Monster movies, and Stephen King’s The Mist.

4. Hananoa’s Lusus was revealed to be a Furred Elephant named Al Pachinko whom she loved to explore newfound areas while living in the wild together. Pachinko was always shown to actually love Hana as his own deeply enough to where he was willing to stomp on other trolls that got too close to his charge. Al Pachinko was the one who gifted her treasured green ribbon that she wears constantly in her hair.

Whew, I am so glad that I got this off my chest, and I feel really proud of it. I hope you do too, I will possibly do so fanart for these two in the distant future so stayed tuned to my art blog @hannah-draws-for-fun!!

Love you guys!

@hannah-the-red-head​

P.s. I also hope you guys understand that I tried to make this as less crazy as it sounds....

[xenonpie]

I have climbed a single peak of Tsundere Mountains

kay, so, for you few that have known me for a while, or even more than 2 seconds, you may have noticed that I have been on a four year long classpect hunt, a sorta soul searching exercise. It has been filled with arduous amounts of dying inside, self doubt, self loathing, questioning how much I know about a lot of things, how much I know about how people work, and in general an experience that has made me many friends and one or two foes, cuz people don't like talking to a self focused, crazy passionate loser for longer than necessary.

but through the long self searching journey, I may have narrowed my choices significantly. to 5 classes and 4 aspects

-Lord/Muse, I always keep these options open, mostly Muse, because of my passive approach to things, they sorta stand as my failsafe in case NO other options lasts, as in the other classes can't check out more than any other one on this list. I know a few Lords and no Muses, since I don't measure up to the Lords in terms of being a Lord, a Muse may be likely.

-Knight, I mainly keep this option because of it's heavy ties to not feeling good enough, never feeling good enough and always improving due to this anxiety, always having to measure up, always having to try and be better because you feel like you may let everyone down if you don't get better. I sorta internally feel this conflict (#edgyteen2k17), I have intense tunnel vision for the things that I get a passion for it

Heir- I sorta feel with the Heirs tbh, like, I get how they think(right next to Dave, John and Mituna are my favorite canons to play tbh), I feel like the natural stubborn and determined nature of Heirs, as well as their jokingly not serious attitudes to serious situations, as well as the fact that I feel very disconnected from others, sorta like an extreme John on that account. I very much like how I really act like them at times(maybe in a more frustrating sense for some), and my inquisitive attitude ties to it's inverse, the Mage

Mage- this class ties to me in the fact that I tend to be a bit rude, sometimes without trying, similar to Sollux, I'm naturally inquisitive, but not to the booksmart level of a Seer, I'm not passive enough in the Information class category to be one, trust me, I've done a metric fuckton of research on mages. at the same time, I empathize with Meulin and a little bit Sollux(it's the same with Eridan in a "he was a fucking dick but he didn't deserve what Canon gave him"), I think Mages tend to be a massive help whenever I need SOME help(props to my new friend who's a Mage of Void btw, they're gr8)

Prince- This one is a little more on the superficial side of things, I'm very argumentative, and tend to act just a tad arrogant, or at least, that's what I've been told, but all Princes tend to hate a part of themselves, which is where Knights and Princes have a bit of a middle shared ground in my personality. I like, really have had some problems with self loathing, to the point where some of my longer time friends think I may be clinical(now I doubt I'm clinical, but I do admit that it goes beyond being humble, sometimes I think it's a limiter to keep myself in check, like, I put doom on myself to always remind myself that there's ALWAYS someone better than me at every little thing), Princes also have a tad of a destructive nature to them, and I implore you to look at my graveyard of dead/dying computers and TELL me that I'm not just the tiniest bit destructive haha. I've broken 8-10 computers in 2 years O_0.

Rogues are mostly there because of how I don't really often come up with my own ideas, because I tend to take ideas, mix and match them, then make something new out of that. I move shit around a lot metaphorically is what I'm saying lol

Bards come in due to mostly my sporadic nature, also because of how passive I act on a daily basis, they are sorta just there like the Lord and Muse are. as a Side thing because of the Prince option

All of these class choices are made under the assumption that I am not inverting.

Aspect options

Space- This aspect is mostly here because of the fact that I have literally been drawing since I was 5 years old, my only other skill is writing, both creative activities, I have been in the creative mindset since I drew a shitty drawing of Spongebob as a 5 year old little dwarf/gremlin. I have only honed my skills over time, perhaps due to legitimate interest, but also because other than writing, I have no other skills, that's all I have, I've only become more and more advanced, taking skills from other people, using their techniques, and just generally growing as an artist.

Time- Time is here because A) may be inverting into space, and B) Dave is one of my favorite characters to RP with, I feel with his casual demeanor(also, I sorta like skeletons(Sans and Papyrus anyone?)). I tend to move at a slow pace through life, much like a timeplayer might. The only counter evidence is I have a barely existent sense of time, like, I can tell a day has passed, but not what day it is, or what hour it is. I just sorta have a connection to the Time players, as I do the space players(maybe it's just cuz Aradia is just MAID of comedic TIMING lol)

Life- I have mostly only kept this as an option for the destruction classes, if I'm a life player, I'm a Destructive class of it.

Doom- I tend to have a pessimistic world view due to my hard time growing up(#pureedge2k17), I sorta make jokes about how we're fucked all the time, for obvious reasons, everyone knows 2k16's problems haha. I try at optimism but fail HORRIBLY, like, I legitimately give it the good ol college try, but still fail every now and then. I again really like ghosts and skeletons, one's head even being the symbol of Doom, I also have an interest in well executed fight scenes in anime, like, I REALLY like them, I love seeing a well done fight scene, maybe that's my possible space speaking cuz Aesthetics are great, but Combat is really interesting, I'd never partake in it(probably dodging most of the time if I HAD to fight, but never really throwing a punch, I'm a pacifist for pete's sake!)

Light/Void- These aspects sorta share symbolism as I sorta tend to like being in a dark space, with only a bit of light, but I don't quite have a good sense of my surroundings when in the dark, blind as shit tbh. I love learning new things, heck I love new perspectives on new things, but I may not always accept them into my personal thoughts and interpretations, I almost ALWAYS  hear them out. Void is mostly here because of my general ignorance to my surroundings and overall ignorance in the grand scheme of things, I don't even pay attention to my body all that much(but I heard that may be an Heir's trait), I'm also a little more photosensitive than others

Mind/Heart/Rage get honorable mentions due to my passionate, but also apathetic approach to things and my anger problem that has slowly gotten put under control.

shoutouts to @goodgodtier for helping me at the moment keep my brain on track to help me find out my god tier, go check out their blog, also just in general @kaiju3 they've got some good thoughts as well, they haven't directly helped me with anything, but they just have some good concepts that I've got to mention soo yea

-Gabe signing out-

[danny-phantump]

okay so i was gonna wait until someone asked but im on a roll. ill post more later, but heres the first chunk of character info

Aradia Was in a car crash as an infant, but survived... kind of. She flatlined for a solid ten seconds before the doctors got her back online, and as a consequence, she's spent her entire life as a spectral. No one told her anything for a long time, leading her to have a little bit of a different understanding of ghosts and spirits than most people; she learned straight from the source. At a very young age, she met a young, shy spirit who wanted to be a human and often took a human form. Her name was Calliope, and one day she sacrificed herself to save Aradia from a vengeful grudge. She tooled herself in Aradia's grimoire, where she's been ever since. She could technically have been out by now, but she thoroughly enjoys living vicariously through Aradia and is very good friends with her. Aradia was the one least hurt by the Incident, because she used Calliope to save herself. She was acting on instinct; she did not have time or frame of mind to go for the others. Modern day, Damara is long dead from a "suicide" that has kept her haunting this world for years. Aradia can see her, but Damara is so screwed up looking from her anger Aradia is afraid of her, and because of this Damara has chosen not to engage. She'll get revenge some other way. She won't hurt the only person who ever loved her back. Aradia's been approached by Mr. Spender's origanization, but has declined to return their calls. However, everyone else's entry kind of forced her hand, and she is now a new recruit. Nonetheless, she's by far the most knowledgable about this new world out of all the kids. Calliope's powers- space warping, teleportation, and the ability to destroy space- are all very powerful, and Aradia doesn't use her full power for fear of alerting anything nasty that might come for them. They both have white energy.

Tavros Shy, stuttering, and paralyzed from the waist down from a childhood "accident", he was a pity case for a lot of foster parents before falling in with the kids. His big brother Rufioh is trying to reconnect after so long away, but Tavros isn't super interested in giving him a second chance after Rufioh left him to rot in the system for the majority of his childhood. Rufioh is a no good drop out who always ends up abandoning people when things get to heavy, and as much as Tavros desperately wishes for a permanent family figure, he's just waiting for the other shoe to drop. After moving to Rufioh's apartment in Beforus, he met his neighbor Gamzee across the hall, who introduced him to the kids. The Incident happened. They moved to Mayview, Rufioh moved with him, and at an antique gun show he went to out of sheer bordom, he felt one of the guns calling to him. He picked it up, and suprise! You're a spectral, and also meet Jake, a spirit from World War II who's been stuck in the gun for a long time. Jake doesn't seem to have any powers, but that can't be right... maybe he just isn't strong enough yet... They both have green energy, but Tavros's is a shade darker than Jake's.

Sollux Sollux had a pretty average childhood with his single dad and his snarky older brother, but then Mituna got hit by a train. Well, the front half of his car did, but it was more than enough to cause permanent brain damage. They packed up and moved to Beforus, near the state's best therapy place, but the Mituna Sollux knew was long gone. He sank into depression, and so did his dad, and figured the ghosts he began to see were just hallucinations brought on by his decaying brain, until one day he met an incredibly angry child online and was subsequently integrated into his clusterfuck of friendchildren. After the Incident, Sollux's dad sent him away to Mayview without him or Mituna, and as much as Sollux hates himself for it, he's relieved he doesn't have to watch the empty shells of his family shamble around anymore. There, he finally met the spirit that had tooled his phone ages ago, at the hospital visiting Mituna in fact. Roxy is a punk with a flair for the feline, and also for hacking. She didn't want to be insensitive, and also didn't want to be kicked out or discarded, so she kept on the down low for years. But the fact that Sollux didn't know her didn't mean Roxy didn't know him; she had been reading his texts and seeing his browser history for years. The dynamic of 'one of us knows a lot more about the other than the other one' made things awkward at first, but their fatalistic senses of humor and shared love of computers has brouht them together, and they now get along pretty well. Roxy can digitize real world objects and vice versa, turning them in and out of data. Essentially can both create and destroy things through her digital form. Roxy has vibrant pink energy, and Sollux has, somehow, chameleon energy. Naturally, it's somehow yellow, blue, and red, and the combination means he can make basically whatever color he wants.

Karkat He was young when his dad died. His dad was a preacher, one that was openly and actively pro-LGBT. He fostered a lot of LGBT kids who had escaped awful families, preached vocally for their better treatment. He was a devout Christian, but didn't see the two things as contradictory. Some people didn't agree with him though- he was black and pro-LGBT in a tiny speck of a town in the sun-bleached conservative heart of Texas. Lynching is not a pretty process. Karkat doesn't remember much, but anything is too much. After the hospital, after the funeral, after condolences from kids he had watched grow up in his house who were too afraid to do anything but call (of course they were), Kanrki and he moved to Beforus. Karkat's been living there ever since, torn between wanting to follow his father and memories of charred flesh and a bloody noose. The Incident happens. He moves to Mayview with Kankri. He finds half a katana buried in the backyard of a terrifying house that he entered on a dare before he heard the calling. Dave is a blank thing, devoid of emotion, and they fight and butt heads until one day they explode and both bear their hearts to the other in a violent display that leaves Karkat;s living room wrecked and both boys closer than they were before. Dave was abused by another spirit, but abuse doesn't work quite the same for humans as for spirits. Bro tried to mold him, shape his very essence, viciously and painfully trim the 'unwanted' parts of him until the ghost of a man who died run through by his own machine had a perfect little machine to run him through again. Bro probably tooled up- that monster always found a way back- but Dave just hopes he never sees that monster again. They became friends after that, getting closer and closer. Dave has the same time powers he does in the comic, namely jumping around his own timeline. They both have bright red energy.

[onlynear]

NOW. i know sol isn’t mine like i don’t go here but he’s got the most notable examples of yellowblood/mutant powers in canon, and in order to talk about mituna’s psionics i have to draw from him! let’s get into it.

VOICES OF THE DOOMED. 

sollux hears voices of the recently deceased and they tell him that alternia is doomed. it’s important to note that this happens before the trolls begin to play sgrub -- this is very specifically part of sollux’s mutation, and not something he achieves through being the mage of doom. similarly, mituna, being a yellowblood mutant, experiences premonitions (frequently brushed off by others as paranoia and gut feelings) about other trolls, and the danger they pose to both mituna himself and the party at large (noteable examples are meenah, who he hates not only because he just doesn’t like her but because she gives him intense visions and migraines) and damara (who he knows to be extremely deadly). mituna, while not as academically-minded as sollux, is pretty genre-savvy, and he’s able to differentiate his mutant-visions from the classpect-visions he gets later on. 

MIND HONEY.

mind honey, as we see in canon, merely enhances existing psionics. it’s incredibly unhealthy for yellowbloods, as it’s addictive and acts almost like sopor slime, in a way -- it makes sollux’s lusus dimwitted and satiated, and loosens any inhibitions and ability to think rationally, do anything requiring fine motor skills and, most importantly, prevents a mutated yellowblood from keeping their powers at bay. as we see in canon, both captors keep their eyes covered (mituna, even pre canon, wears his hair thick and over his eyes, as he constructs his helmet with his alchemiser once he enters sgrub) -- this is because, should their eyes go uncovered, it’s much easier for psionics to fire out ad-hoc should they feel any intense emotions. seen as mituna’s psionics, post-accident, are broken, mind honey doesn’t power them up anymore, but it DOES soothe the almost constant chronic pain he’s in (migraines, muscle aches, pain in his eyes), and so his lusus feeds it to him in order to balm him, just a little.

PSIONICS.

now. this is the good part. as we see just before sollux gets ko’d by eridan (’ready, prince?’), sollux’s psionics are under his control -- he either powers them up himself, charging them before he has to use them in a fight, or they’re tied to his emotions. i like to think it’s a little bit of both, and that’s why mituna is so unsteady once his psionics are broken -- a very real and very major part of his mind has just shattered completely, and he can’t regulate nearly anything (memory, feeling, social cues, etc) in the same way as he could before. 

a lot can be learned about psionics from the eridan and sollux duel, in fact: when sollux uses his psionics to levitate himself, his glasses come up onto his head, thus solidifying that keeping a captor’s eyes covered nullifies their powers somewhat, sollux is clearly less Present in the battle than eridan is (which is to say, sollux is stationary and channelling all of his energy into his psionics, where eridan is able to react and move and cast his Science Spells with more autonomy), all of the force of the pisonics does in fact stem from a captor’s eyes, etc. i believe that not only was it eridan’s hope (or more accurately lack thereof) was just... stronger than sollux’s psionics in the moment, but also the massive strain sollux underwent trying to beat eridan that lead to him getting knocked unconscious. psionics are hard work. using them a little leads to drowsiness, using them a lot leads to exhaustion, and using them too much leads to death, as we see when sollux dies after piloting the meteor. mituna burned himself out in such a way that he almost died (reminiscent of sollux’s half-death). i wouldn’t call him lucky, but it was a close call, for sure.

SPECIFIC TO MITUNA.

‘eli,’ i hear you saying, ‘you literally do not write sollux’. to this i say I KNOW but their powers are BALANCED BY EACH OTHER just stick with me here!! so. i don’t by any means want to discredit sollux -- he is immensely powerful, after all -- but mituna, being older and more relaxed (tbh just in general) in terms of his status as a mutant and his powers (which he actively practised using from a young age) is... more so, when it comes to psionics. i’m also very confident in saying mituna would be incredibly average at programming and such, which is where the balance comes in, yk? two sides of the same coin with different expertise. 

mituna was an incredibly powerful psionic to boot. his powers went beyond that of just powering spaceships, telekinesis, levitation, etc -- if used correctly (or, rather, correctly by evil), mituna could have been an incredibly deadly and horrific doomsday weapon. he also had vision twofold, two dreamselves, and,of course, his preminitions about the future, which he tried time and time again to warn others about, to no avail. the trouble is with mituna being who he is (loud, obnoxious bordering on abrasive, mischievous, snarky and cynical by nature but most always up for a bit of fun, essentially a wildcard), it was very easy to not take him seriously, call him biased and move on. mituna assumed that he, as the sole prophet and one of two believers (the other being kurloz, natch) was to be the one to take out the threat he predicted was going to wipe out his friends and doom their session. unfortunately, this was a case of wrong genre savvy -- mituna, being heir of doom, WAS the threat (or, more specifically, his psionics were), and the best outcome of him going to neutralise said threat was always going to be the accident that rendered him changed for good.

however. i am by no means saying that it wasn’t GREATLY thanks to kurloz’ chuckevoodoo and his input that mituna is As Bad As He Is. kurloz was there, accompanied him to this great overexertion and his mind control had some hand in ruining mituna. of course, we have no idea what happened (other than mituna burned himself out heroically, saving everybody only for meenah, who he’d prophesied about all along, to kill them all anyway), but i refuse to believe that kurloz being there doesn’t have some greater bearing on what went down.

now. as for him not knowing if he’s god tier or not: my gut instinct would be no. however. i think his confusion on the matter lends itself to the idea that he may have been close to going god tier -- perhaps getting halfway there (keeping with the two theme) or intending to at least before he burned himself out. as heir is someone who either becomes (literal) or is changed by/inspires change by their aspect (metaphorical), and doom as a class represents sacrifice (metaphorical) and control over death and destruction (literal), i’m okay with saying that god tier mituna would be absolutely formidable, as long as he was his coherent self.

mituna uses his psionics before sgrub, and once he enters the game and crafts his helmet, his specubus becomes ‘helmetkind’ (later ‘hemletkind’, naturally). he can go longer using them than sollux can (and most yellowbloods, actually), but that itself is dangerous, as he can often drain himself without even realising he’s about to do so. not having the psionics is very distressing for him later on, especially as the incident is so fragmented that he doesn’t exactly understand what he did to break his powers so thoroughly. the psionics are not a separate part of mituna -- they are tied so closely to his brain that each affects the other, and destroying his psionics only lead to him being the way he is now, with no way to recover.

thinking abt him... anyways time for me to talk about mituna

thanks to the nature of his psionics, he was NOT culled. instead, he was put to work powering generators and the like. it was very painful and gruelling work, and probably warrants a whole new meta, but the basics are that he would often knock himself out by exerting too much effort and some other colleagues of his burned their powers out completely, either because they weren’t as powerful as mituna was or because they put more effort in. OF COURSE beforan society likes to act like it treats its mutants ‘well’ so this work is always presented as giving young mutants who weren’t culled something to do with their time/a way to keep them off the streets etc etc but it was HORRIBLE and mituna hated it

he’s been moirails with kurloz for a LONG ASS time like before their s.grub session! they’re very good moirails they love each other very much

mituna doesn’t make his helmet until his s.grub session! it’s one of the first things he alchemises in order to weaponise his psionics (and give himself a strife modus -- helmetkind!) and stave off his migraines 

he’s flirty in nature across all quadrants because it’s fun and he likes to joke around with people in that nature -- not so much pale and far less so when he starts to date latula, but he’s still Like That not because he wants to cheat but because it’s just how he is, what makes him laugh, etc, and he expects his CLOSE friends to know that 

he rlly dislikes meenah and cronus because well he sees them as main contributors to his suffering (and everyone else who was culled obviously) and while that may well not be true he holds grudges and doesn’t often think in greys -- it’s all or nothing with mituna he’s very VERY full on

alright! i’ll admit that this post is going to be geared a little more towards eridan (as d.ualscar’s lore is the one i hate the most and mituna’s life as the psiioniic bears almost no bounds to how he is as mituna), but here we are anyway! what i’m basically doing is shredding canon and picking out the parts i like to make a pretty little mosaic of things i consider truthful to my portrayal. tw for murder, execution, sexual assault, mind control, slavery, death in general.

O.RPHANER D.UALSCAR:

OF COURSE, i’m not a d.ualscar blog. this won’t really matter much in the grand scheme of me writing, but it’s important to eridan, so i feel like it’s worth saying, yk? this is what eridan has learned about since he was a grub, looked up to his whole life. this is eridan’s flarp character too yk? like, it matters to him.

dualscar embraced his status as royalty as soon as he understood what, exactly, that meant (even somewhat before that, too, if we’re honest). he was cruel and ruthless growing up, though not much is known about him before he gained a small following aboard his first seafaring vessel (a dingy little ship that he planned to raid before taking the captives as slaves). instead of submitting to their new ~leader~, they offered their treasure and services as a loyal crew. d.ualscar, not being an idiot, negotiated some very strict terms with the ex-captain of said ship and took the thing for himself. thus, his life as a pirate begins. king of the sea, babey.

there are a lot of stories centred around d.ualscar’s life at sea, most being tales of exceptional villainy and gory fights aboard enemy ships. eridan takes all of these stories as ~canon~ for his flarp character -- even the stories in which d.ualscar loses. loss is important to legends: it makes the story more interesting, and, besides, d.ualscar would always respond to loss twice as brutally, twice as underhandedly as before. 

he’s just a nasty bastard for a living. wields his iconic weapon and kills and steals without much discrimination. he gets his name during this stretch of his legend -- orphaner, thanks to all the lusii he kills. he’s after treasure, slaves, etc -- kid trolls are good as any, and usually more obedient. his crimes against lowbloods are told more often, but rest assured he was awful to everyone! 

m.indfang plays an active part in a lot of d.ualscar’s legends. they were the perfect example of a k.ismesis, after all -- constant rivals, competing for god knows what (even d.ualscar loses sight of what they were fighting about eventually -- his romantic hatred for m.indfang is, quite literally, stuff of legend) all across the sea, taking and relenting with each other for sweeps. i won’t mess with m.indfang’s lore -- consider all the stuff wrt mind control and how she uses her slaves truthful unless it isn’t true in your m.indfang canon. it’s not my place to dictate how far she will or won’t go!! 

after all that bs, d.ualscar loses the romantic hatred he’d harboured for m.indfang and just purely resents her. he attempts to turn her in to the h.ighblood because she’s become an issue rather than a rival -- she’s taking up space that d.ualscar believes to be rightfully his. he also isn’t an idiot -- an attack from him would be expected, right? m.indfang wouldnt expect him to get help -- he’s too proud for that, or so she thinks. here’s where i start to make shit up, folks.

the grand h.ighblood doesn’t want anything to do with d.ualscar, OBVIOUSLY. d.ualscar’s been doing whatever tf he wants and being a c.ondense loyalist this entire time, and he, in turn, is an issue for the purplebloods. he’s betrayed by the grand h.ighblood -- his ship is set ablaze and he dies aboard it. the charred remnants of his ship wrecks on land some time after the summoner leads his revolt. in between m.indfang being killed by the s.ummoner, she finds ahab’s crosshairs and steals it. after her death, ahab’s crosshairs is lost until eridan recovers it.

of course there’s more, and i’ll probably talk about that when it occurs to me, but this is the gist of it! 

THE P.SIIONIIC:

ugh psii how i love you. i like the psii’s backstory as much as i think it sucks for him like... i think it’s coherent and satisfying even though i want him to be alright yk? anyways

the p.siioniic is a mutant used as a slave. he hates it. he’s got a short fuse and is treated terribly as a consequence, but he won’t let himself be beat. the horrors that the p.siioniic went through are more horror stories than legend -- so unspeakable that a lot of people dismiss them as ways to scare other mutants into compliance. 

of course, he meets the signless, who motivates him to break his chains and leave to follow his cause. he quickly becomes devoted to the signless -- he feels indebted to him in a way, and is determined to use his unrivalled power to aid him in any way.

when the signless is captured and killed, as such is the p.siioniic. the condense uses him to power her ship thanks to his power (hence the helmsman), forcing him back into slavery and nearly killing him as he’s used as a living battery.

the condense takes a shining to the p.siioniic, prolonging his life with her powers. this takes a massive strain on him -- he simply isn’t meant to live as long as she makes him, his cause is failed, his friends are scattered and dead AND he can feel himself dying until the condense brings him back from the brink... our man suffers 

eventually, he overexerts himself and dies trapped in the helm, the victim of his unnatural lifespan and his extremely strong powers.

obviously, this is an alternate universe version of mituna, so i’m far more comfortable with writing the p.siioniic than i am d.ualscar, yk? i’m cool to explore the psii in threads bc well i love him

ah. right then!
