TWs: Referenced trafficking (I intended it to be like... hybrid trafficking but you can imagine it as whatever), Suicidal Whumpee
Beneath the cut is a short drabble I wrote surrounding a scenario in my head, but I barely know anything about the fandom I wanted to write it for, so I made it more ambiguous.
Whumpee barely has the energy to lift their head as someone enters their cell. “Are you here to kill me?” They rasp, a glimmer of hope in their chest. They can finally rest.
The person looks taken aback by their question. They pause for a moment before answering. “No, I’m here to rescue you. I’m with an organization that gets trafficked people back home.”
Their response is carefully crafted. Whumpee hates them for it. “...Why? Why me..?”
The person approaches them carefully, like they’re a cornered rat. “Why wouldn’t I help you?” They ask, kneeling in front of Whumpee. Their face is so kind.
“I don’t want to live,” Whumpee says softly. “You’d be doing me a favor by killing me.”
The person purses their lips. “Forgive me for being selfish, but I don’t want your blood on my hands.”
Whumpee lets their head drop back onto their arms. The person places a gentle hand on their back. “Can I pick you up?”
“...Yeah.”

Started reading the comments on the now infamous reddit poll (as someone who was just watching the stuff go down lmao) and was honestly delighted by some of the commentary from people who admitted they didn't ship byler because...well.
"I understand why mlvn would leave a bad taste in your mouth after what they did to Will to accomplish it. Now all I think of when I see them is gay suffering"
"I don't know why they would have will fall in love with Mike the season before the last if he was going to get rejected"
"They keep giving Mike & El these problems and they're kind of irritating to watch at this point"
"if they intended us to support the main couple I have no idea what they were intending by doing that"
"I don't understand why they forced two 12 year olds to fall in love. It feels very shoe-horned in"
....maybe I underestimated a fair amount of redditor media literacy, because it sounds like they understand EXACTLY what's going on—
—they're just uninterested/upset in logical conclusion as to why someone might do those things as a writer because it means something they don't like is gonna happen instead. The loud and ignorant (and wrong) mlvn side just likes to yell and pretend it means everyone "agrees" with them when really they're just silent.

figured i'd post the full creature list for my bravely default bestiary mod for dwarf fort since the mod is basically finished ignoring my indecisiveness under read more since it's like 50 miles long
chompers of all kinds. and chompettes. and war trained gobblers :)
the first of the sprites i made, and what i consider the mascots of the mod
(BD1+BS)
ratbitt, badbitt, uniconey unibitt (BD2)
alraune, mandragora, and rafflesia (BD1+BS)
green, fire, and ice d'gons (BD1+BS)
brimstone stallion, sagari, and nightmare (BD2)
drake (BS)
land turtle (BD1+BS)
magician, mephisto, and zauberer (BD1+BS)
hybrid (BD1+BS)
catamount, and valtora
killer ant, magic ant, peraponera, and shooterbug (BS, BD2)
anzu, and regulus (BS)
cu sith! technically cheating since it's from final fantasy 4 heroes of light and not BD, but 4hol is bravely adjacent and originally i was going to do cait sith as well, and wanted them to be a pair. in the end i couldn't make a cait sith sprite i was happy with so it ended up just being this guy.
kaiser cobra, sea serpent cobra (BD1+BS)
fungoo (BD2)
rock golem, inferno golem, ice golem (BD1 + BS) and wood golem (BD2)
one golem type assigned to each main race in DF
hellhound. every bravely game has a hellhound in it but in all of them they're just regular wolves recolored red, or blue in BD2. So it's instead based on it's 4HoL design.
imp, teufel (BD1 + BS)
mailed dragon (BD1 + BS)
megalodon (BD1 + BS)
minotaur, and amber horn (BD1 + BS)
ogre (in all 3 games but based on the BD2 design)
orc, orc leader, orc chieftain, orc lord, orc king. (in all 3 games but based on the BD2 designs)
ratatoskr, and frosti (BD1 + BS)
sizzlemoth (BD2)
slime, red flan, and black pudding (BD1 + BS)
soil eater (BD1 + BS)
wiki-wiki, big wiki-wiki, metal wiki-wiki, queen wiki-wiki, and king wiki-wiki (BD2)
behemoth behemouth. renamed since i already did a 'behemoth' for my other mod. still less bad than it's 4HoL name of "bighugemore"
a megabeast with a deafening roar and a lethal bite laced with venom. based on a mix of it's BD1 and BS fights (venom from BD1 and roar from BS)
greaps, the second full creature from 4HoL. put in simply because she's very cool and it felt weird to only have 1 4HoL monster.
a megabeast that specializes on using different forms of magic from her 3 different battles from 4hol.
