Whenever I'm rereading Tenko's past and I reach that part when he's on the floor over everything that happened to him and Doc Garaki looks at AFO and goes "should I fix him?"

The horror I FEEL. They're looking at a 5 years old and wondering if they should erase his emotions to "perfect him". Doc Garaki is stripping him of his humanity in such a casual way. Should I fix him? like he's broken for suffering over the death of his family, for grieving , for feeling conflicted because he is free of the house that abused him but they are all gone and he misses them.

They're about to change his name and surname and convince him that he was born to destroy and live in misery. They are about to cover him with the hands of his deceased family. They are about to offer killing people as comfort, nurturing the hole of hatred and rage in his chest for their own plans, but it isn't enough damage? Torture?

Should I fix him?

I'm sorry. It makes me want to cry. He's 5 years old. He has no one. His family failed him. Society failed him. Not even Overhaul was that cruel with Eri. Not even Endeavor was that cruel with Touya. No one has ever been that cruel in the bnha world.

He's offering to nomufy a 5 years old.

Imagine crawling under the Horned King's robe to cuddle with him ... It doesn't necessarily have to be a sexual situation (though it could possibly lead to that if you're both up to it - I mean does he even wear anything else underneath there?👀), but could also simply be a tender moment of both physical and emotional closeness.

Author's note: This was originally supposed to be an imagine at best or simply just me yelling out my thoughts about the Horned King, but somehow it kind of accidentally turned into a short story. Things you do at 5am I guess. This man probably has to much control over my mind at this point (not that I'm complaining).

The Horned King x Reader - Cuddling under his robe

It's cold this evening, though this is not something particularly unusual. The wind is howling around the walls of the castle, and you're snuggling a little closer to the Horned King as you're resting in your shared bed together. You feel his grip around your waist tighten ever so slightly, when suddenly an idea sparks up in your mind. Maybe there is an even better way to escape the cold than just pressing yourself up against him ...

He tilts his head, but doesn't say anything yet when you wriggle yourself out of his embrace and crawl towards the foot of the bed. You hesitate for a moment, but eventually decide to lift the hem of his robe.

"What are you doing, my dear?"

You can hear mild confusion in his voice, and stop in your motion for a moment, one of your hands pulling up the fabric a little while the other is resting on his calf.

"Just trying to escape the cold ..."

With that, you lean forwards and start crawling under the king's robe. The thick fabric holds off any light, so you let your hands follow the contours of his body as you move upwards, careful not to put your weight onto him in an uncomfortable way. You can feel a smile forming on your face as you finally stick your head through the collar - which luckily is wide enough to fit both of you.

"I thought it might be warmer underneath here, and I have to say that I'm not disappointed. But I also just wanted to be close to you ..."

The Horned King's gaze turns soft - over time you've learned to read his more subtle facial expressions - , and when you lean forwards a little to press a kiss onto his lipless mouth, you can feel him eagerly reciprocate the motion, to the best of his abilities at least. He lets out a content sigh as you rub your nose against his cheek and wraps his arms around you, resting his hands on your back. You allow your body to relax completely as you lay down on top of his own, and although he's not giving off any body warmth, you relish the feeling of being pressed up against his bare skin.

"This is perfect ..."

You mumble as you're nuzzling your face into his neck. Your eyelids are starting to get heavier as he gently rubs your back, and a yawn escapes you.

"Rest now, my dear."

Your king's soothing voice still reaches you as your consciousness starts to drift off into the shadows.

"Rest well. I will not be going anywhere right now ..."

Certain fans pretending that Darius being a rebel came out of nowhere is so funny, because while, yes, the show's writing is not the greatest, and it is understandable for a casual viewer to miss the Blimp scene or that later Darius doesn't restrain the kids, but some of the supposed fans who over-analyze everyone else, just so happen to miss the way Darius talks to Hunter from the Blimp and that if Darius was a 100% bad guy there would be no reason for him to clearly indicate that he thinks capturing the children wasn't something to be proud of - especially in that tone of voice and with that expression, and that there was no reason for him to lie this way if he wanted to manipulate Hunter, and that that scene was meant to be a clear hint that he had a moral code of his own and wasn't absolutely on Belos' side, all before the episode's ending.

(And it is also funny because he is in only two episodes before the rebel reveal, in one of them he is already established as a complex character, so there is just not even enough episodes of him being a villain to declare that the rebel stuff came out of nowhere)

And it is absolutely understandable to just dislike the show's writing choices (i think its writing is at best uneven, but often just weak), but with some fans it is very clear that they only have problems with Darius and only because of Hunter and the one-dimensional, worst possible fanon interpretations of Darius' actual actions. (< - and this is my actual problem, not that someone missed some hints or just have a different interpretation). Especially blatant when the same fans defend almost every other writing choice.

And of course it just happens that fans almost never have problems with Eda and King's writing, even though they are main characters, and some choices about their relationship are much more puzzling if you look at them with the same scrutiny fandom looks at Darius.

And among white Hunter fans there is almost never any care or thought about how Darius being a villain would fit with what characters like Belos and Odalia represent, and what it would mean and how it would have been handled considering the way the show already treats its characters of color, especially black characters, and how it would fit into the existence of the trope among fantasy shows of putting dark-skinned characters into oppressive roles. But there is no consideration or care about it.

the brides: beyond dracula

(or, a list for those who would like to see more of the weird sisters)

🩸 A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson - told from the perspective of Dracula’s first bride, Constanta, this is an alternate-universe story of the Brides through the ages, their relationship with Dracula becoming increasingly more abusive, and the three of them finally breaking free of this relationship. A slightly more detailed review here.

🩸 The Deathless Girls by Kiran Millwood Hargrave - a young adult prequel novel about the two dark-haired Brides, here reimagined as two Romani sisters. A slightly more detailed review here. 

🩸 Dracula, Motherf**ker! by Alex de Campi and Erica Henderson - a very short graphic novel about the Brides and a crime scene photographer called Quincey Harker fighting Dracula in the 1974 Los Angeles. A more detailed review here. 

🩸 Van Helsing (2004) - that one action movie where Van Helsing is an immortal monster hunter played by Hugh Jackman, and also Frankenstein’s monster is there. Love this movie or hate it, it can’t be denied that the Brides play quite a big role in it. 

🩸 Bit (2019) - not a Dracula adaptation, but still a vampire movie that draws on the concept of the Brides of Dracula. The main character, Laurel (a trans woman played by a trans actress), moves to LA to her brother after graduating high school, is bitten by a pretty girl she meets at the club, and joins a vampire girl gang. The power dynamics in the group eventually lead to a confrontation complicated by the return of a powerful ancient vampire called ~Vlad~ (there’s a flashback sequence about him set to Rasputin by Boney M. If you even care). 

🩸 The Invitation (2022) - if you don’t mind some randos (because the Harkers would never!) being given the names of the characters of Dracula, here’s a Gothic romance/horror movie about a young American woman Evie, who finds out she has relatives in England, accepts their invitation to a wedding, goes to England where a rich lord starts courting her, and then all hell breaks loose. This one goes the easy way of making Dracula young-looking and handsome, but I’d say he’s still scary enough, and if vampirism was taken away, this could still be a horror movie about fucked up rich people à la Ready or Not.

🩸 The Brides (2020) - before the pandemic, ABC was developing a TV series about the Brides in the modern world, starring Gina Torres as one of the three. Then COVID-19 happened, and the show got scrapped. Only the trailer remains. By the look of it, it would have been cheesy, but I still found it interesting to get a glimpse at what could have been.

I wanted to join everyone who was making charm bracelets for them and their F/os but unfortunately I don't have any charm sets :( I do however have a baggie of beads and wire from back when I was 15 so I took the opportunity and pounced

Options were very limited but the colors gave me Blackmore vibes! I think it's the least I could do for him considering he hasn't been getting much loving lately ❤️‍🩹 He and some of my other boys will be getting charm bracelets the moment I find a set

The villain thinks the hero is positively stupid.

That’s a given, of course. Villains think heroes are stupid and heroes think villains are stupid, that’s just the way it is. This hero though, in particular, is as blind as he is dumb. The villain has been tailing him for seven blocks, not even inconspicuously, but he’s yet to notice.

He’s clearly preoccupied, too interested in whatever boring do–gooder he’s talking to on his phone to actually take in his surroundings. He turns off the street to wander down a small side road, and the villain grins knowingly at his mistake. The end of this is a carpark, surrounded by tall buildings. If he can catch him before he inevitably gets in one of the cars, he’ll have his hero.

The villain picks up the pace as they spot the glint of keys being pulled out of the hero’s pocket, and they manage to grab him just as he unlocks the car in front of him. The touch startles him, and he only manages to turn to catch a glimpse of the villain before his back is slammed into the car with a cold crunch. The villain only grins victoriously as he rests his blade against his throat.

“Do you know how blind you are?” he asks with a laugh, and the hero grimaces at the sound. “I’ve been following you for fifteen minutes and you never even noticed!”

“[Villain]...” The hero’s voice is small, hushed in anxiety, and the villain feels like he’s struck gold. “Please, not now.”

“Oh, we’re resorting to begging already are we?” His grin only widens maliciously. “You like to act so high and mighty when the cameras are on you, but really you’re afraid of me.”

“This is really bad timing,” the hero continues quietly, as if the villain cares.

“Oh, is this a bad day to die for you? Got dinner plans?” He gives the hero a harsh shove as he pushes down harder with his knife, the car rocking slightly with the force. He goes to make another jab, but he doesn’t get to before the sound of crying cuts him off.

He glances at the hero, who looks just as horrified as the villain does confused at the noise. It’s muffled, coming from inside the car they’re against. All that comes out is a baffled “what?”

“[Villain], please–” The hero’s words are actually begging now, and the villain would be revelling in that if he wasn’t so busy trying to get a glimpse into the backseat. “Please, don’t–”

He swings the door open, his suspicions confirmed. A child is in a booster seat in the back of the car, wailing like the world’s ending, a tiny plush elephant getting positively crushed in its grasp. He can only stare, the moment surreal, until the hero pushes past him to grab the child out of the car, hoisting it up against his hip.

“Is that thing yours?” he asks incredulously, as if it wasn’t just in the hero’s car. He nods stiffly like he doesn’t want to admit it.

“She’s– The babysitter cancelled last minute.” His tone is soft as he gently bounces the child to try and calm her down. “I couldn’t leave her at home alone.”

“So you left her in your car alone.” The villain frowns, casting his gaze down to the ornate watch hugging his wrist. “You’re still on duty for, like, five hours. You just intended to leave her here all day?”

“I don’t know!” The child sniffles like she’s about to cry again, and the hero lowers his voice again. “I don’t know. I don’t have many other options right now.”

“You’re even dumber than I thought and you have a child relying on you. Good god.” The villain lets out an exasperated sigh. “Just give her to me.”

“Excuse you?”

He shrugs, holding his hands out to the kid. “You can’t leave her in your car, moron. Stop by my lair at nine o’clock tonight to come get her.”

The hero shies away from his outstretched arms slightly. “I may be dumb but I’m not dumb enough to leave her with you.”

“And if you deny me I’ll smash your windows in to get her, and then I’ll have her anyway. I thought you didn’t have many other options right now.”

He glances at the kid sitting against his side, falling asleep in the post breakdown tiredness. “If you hurt her I won’t just get you turned into the police next time.”

“I would expect no less.” He grimaces slightly as the hero carefully pushes her into his arms, suddenly very aware he doesn’t know how to handle a child. “Stop by at nine, okay? If I have to keep her a minute longer she’ll be feeding my alligators.”

The hero nods quickly. “Yeah, of course.” He starts back down the car park before pausing, turning back to the villain slowly. “Thank you, as well.”

He shrugs nonchalantly, adjusting the kid against his side. “Whatever. Don’t be late.”

With that the hero sets off again, leaving the villain with a failed mission, a non-dead hero, and a child he never wanted.
