#but also she'd kill you

[joleneghoul]

Decided to make an actual ref for The Queen. I think Fallout NPC ocs are really really fun honestly- like yesss add more to the game.

Text under cut in case its hard to read on photo!

Originally a performer from New Reno, Queen now resides on the outskirts of New Vegas, with The Kings- after life on The Strip turned foul.

It seems she has had a hard time settling down in the past, probably because of her affinity for a good revenge plot. Never let it be said that The Queen can't hold a grudge.

Quest: The Night The Lights Went Out In Vegas*

After Reaching Idolized Status in Freeside The Queen will embellish and customize The Couriers clothes for them.

at the core of Sevika's character there's this fun contradiction where she's very loyal but is also down with cold-blooded betrayal if she thinks it's politically expedient

popping in randomly after almost an entire month just to talk non stop about the tsaritsa again everyone sit down.

specifically just thinking about the implications of tsaritsa's ideals originally being about love + the abandonment of those ideals to complete her goal of, presumably, destroying Celestia or whatever she's cooking up. to the point even her people don't love her and I probably don't even remember a time her ideals were of love. now it's all just ice and snow and cold.

which makes romantic fics w her even funnier because she's purposely removed this part of herself and suddenly reader walks into teyvat like they own the place (they do) and I can only imagine her reaction. angry, probably. because why you? what are you doing to her that's caused her hundreds of years of strict adherence to rejecting "love" both from others and to others to just. collapse. absolute shattering of her world and you probably don't even know it bc if nothing else she's good at hiding it. a lot of denial. tries to pick you apart and see what's makes you so different.

and oh she just hates it. she loathes it.

basically one sided enemies to lover trope because she can't stand you for a while but if you stick around she starts warming up to you and it makes it WORSE. so much worse. tries to distance herself but your just everywhere and it gets on her nerves because why does she love you? she isn't capable of love, not anymore. she thought she was.

g-d forbid one of the harbingers or PIERRO notices she'd never live it down. might even consider the implications of just killing you (she doesnt). worse if you know about it and act like a brat she will lose her damn mind

just the tsaritsa being an absolutely horrible mess internally.

Stillborn? No, still born au -- Dani Phantom! Clone girl herself. :]

She can't exist in this au. And it's not that I don't want to add her -- although I'll be blunt, I don't, I'll be the first to admit that I think she's more often than not nothing more than a narrative deadweight used to prop up Danny and I don't like adding characters as props -- but her existence quite literally goes against and muddies the Vlad and Danny dynamic I have for this au. Ellie's existence in canon itself states that she was created -- and Danny's other clones too -- because Vlad gave up on trying to convert him to his side and decided to just make a son instead.

Something that just, doesn't happen in the stillborn-still born au. See, for folks who are only just hearing about this au or didn't see my post about Vlad in this au, he and Danny have a complicated love-hate relationship where they mutually want to adopt each other, but their morals and way of doing things -- mainly Vlad's insistence on getting revenge against the Fentons -- gets in the way of them being able to do that in full.

Vlad knows Danny wants him to adopt him, and is only fighting him on it because he refuses to let Vlad kill the Fentons for essentially killing the both of them. He's succeed in 50% of his goal. Canon Vlad never even made it to 1%. With that in mind, stillborn Vlad has no reason and sees no reason to clone Danny, he has his son. He just needs to convince him to let him avenge them both.

Dani simply has no place in the stillborn-still born au. And in fact, if Vlad did decide to clone Danny -- for whatever reason, -- it would damage his relationship with Danny damn near beyond repair. That's because Danny would view it the same way he views Damian's existence; as a replacement for himself. He would become beyond furious and hurt, and not for the typical 'I can't believe you cloned me, you creep!' reason, but for a 'I can't believe you cloned me, you said I was your son!' reason.

I am not pulling any punches here when I say Danny wants Vlad to be his dad just as much as Vlad wants Danny to be his son, there's just a lot of factors getting in the way. They are, as the french say, ✨mentally unwell.✨ Danny has a ton of abandonment and trust issues due to his experiences in foster care. He would immediately become jealous, insecure, and incredibly furious and hurt. He'd despise her on principal and want nothing to do with her, or Vlad for that matter. He'd just fucking haaate her. It's not her fault she was made but Danny doesn't really care, he's lashing out and pushing people away because he's been betrayed yet again.

The only way they could get along or for Danny to actually like her in any capacity would be if it was his idea to clone himself. Which is like, kinda obvious but considering most clone plots tend to be non-consensual it's kinda gotta be said. He has to have a hand in creating her, that's the only way I can see him liking her in any way. Or if someone other than Vlad created her. If Vlad clones him though, all bets are off the table and he'll despise her.

TL;DR: Dani can't exist in this au because she goes against the narrative I've got for the two most fucked up half-dead could-be-father-son duo in existence, but if she did exist Danny would despise her.

maybe the real reason marika smashed the elden ring was that was the first year her title as ms most problematic in the lands between was challenged (by ranni) and she just grabbed a hammer and started hitting shit until she was really sure she was in the lead again

[ayrennaranaaldmeri]

man the dev notes w/ the stormshore tabernacle convo. whatever they're there for it's kind of remarkable how so much of the notes there for her are just textbook abuser stuff.

Idea: While Velvette is genuinely a huge bitch and a terror to work with, she's young enough that she's still in the process of completely shedding her humanity. She's only been in Hell for six years, so she feels as though she needs to be as hard as possible in order to prove herself to her peers.

She joined the Vees only a year or two after her death, and when she first saw just how violent Val can get with Vox on a bad day, she was genuinely concerned and tried to offer him help. He snapped at her, telling her that this is just how relationships are in Hell, that it doesn't matter what Val does to him since he can just repair himself anyway, and if she's too soft to handle how things work down here, then she doesn't have a place on their team. She learned pretty quickly after that to never show anything that could be perceived as weakness, even around people she thinks she can trust.

Day of the fall of Neseah - Nelvaren

"I've envied you, Nelvaren. For too long have I longed for... something like this." He chuckles, his breath rasping against the kings strained throat. "Perhaps in another life, some would even call this an act of love. Sparing you the fate of seeing what i've done. I'll let you know now I'll agree that this... is a mercy. Goodbye, my muse." He slowly unsheathed his sword from the king's body. "I shall paint the ashes of your kingdom, in your blood."

Had a weird Hollow Knight-related dream a couple days ago, so I decided to draw a major scene I remembered from it dgsgshf

More context will be in the tags, for those interested!

[voiider]

i just need Damian sitting on a couch and shoving his cold clammy feet with his nasty-ass toenails under his brother's bare legs. And Tim refusing to share a bed with Damian because he "rapid kicks" in the middle of the night. him shoving his frozen hands up Dick's shirt. just younger sibling things

sincerely always side eyeing people who desperately want mia to be ollies daughter. why are you so convinced she is in the market for another dad after the first one. he's her family yeah but the nice thing about found family is it doesnt have to be a daddy and a mommy and 2.5 babies. sometimes it can be robin hood and the runaway who crashed on his couch
