Abyss (~4.9K Words)

You are born in the abyss. Who can blame you for never knowing the light? An introspection piece on Gunmar the Black, with many headcanons towards how he may have grown up, and why his role as the villain was inevitable.

I don't like one dimensional villains so I have been plagued thinking about this guy. Remember folks, a sympathetic villain is still a villain, and this is no attempt to excuse his actions, only explain them.

[residentmara]

full body idea, the first outfit youd see him in before whatever happens.

i have an idea for his new story? but again im still taking feed back/ criticism because im def not the biggest "the before" expert or anything

i have a loose idea that icarus would just be an aimless soul (heh) getting by until he becomes friends with FIF!jash , then meeting his two brothers along the way and then icarus becomes like. the fourth brother /silly but thats just a loose bastardization because icarus is Not a Good Person, or atleast at first.

he struggles with codependency, abandonment and negligence, but at the same time is harsh , apathetic and destructive. icarus doesnt want to push anyone away, he just wants a stable relationship with someone, Anyone, but hes self aware. he knows his flaws, and as a defense mechanism to "protect" himself from everyone, he isolates himself. and yeah, it's bad, but thats all hes ever known. hes never met someone like the solo brothers, where they actually give him room to improve and take the time of day to help him out any way they can, because thats what friends do.

so he also tries helping them, doing small gestures in return. he doesnt understand that their (platonic) love is unconditional, so because he doesnt want to feel like a burden, he tries understanding and also mirroring their patterns.

Hi Mei :)

[lemony-snickers]

I wonder if at some point, Kakashi might have seriously considered leaving Konoha.

In the end, he is too loyal and too determined to protect the people he loves to truly abandon his home.

But I wonder if he toyed with the idea. In the middle of the night, back slick with sweat after yet another nightmare.

He thinks of how Konoha destroyed his father, thrust Obito into a war he wasn’t ready for, instilled in Rin ideals that led her to believe killing herself was justified because it was in the best interests of the village. He thinks of Minato and Kushina slaughtered before their baby ever got to know them.

He wonders if maybe he’d be better off striking the Leaf symbol from his hitai-ate, leaving behind the strict shinobi code in favor of his own. A code which embraces the grey, prioritizes empathy.

Maybe he even toys with it a little, sneaks out of the village when he’s not on mission to see how long he can get away with before he’s missed; before a hawk circles above his hiding place to call him home.

Like when you’re a kid and you hop out your window, wander down the road or into the woods to a secret spot only you know. Just to test it out. Like “running away” just for a little while might fix whatever is broken.

You always go home, in the end. And so does Kakashi.

Because he would never forgive himself if he truly abandoned his post; the way Sakumo abandoned his son or Rin abandoned her surviving teammate.

I wonder if when Sasuke defects from his home in pursuit of Orochimaru—of power—Kakashi understands a little more than most because he’s considered the same path.

Weighed the price of leaving against the one he has already paid to stay.

Drawing Hornet everyday until Silksong comes out - Day 17

inspired by a request from anonymous!

And thank you! I decided to use this request as an opportunity to draw a scene from an au that I’m writing. Hope that’s ok!

mulling over that feather and storm post im making (sorry for the delay lmao i fell deep in the pokemon special interest) and trying to think about their relationships or lack thereof and how im gonna organize all that, and i just had a great idea

what if feathertail was mothwing’s original mentor

leopardstar still mentors hawkpaw, but feathertail gets mothpaw as like a gesture. and on the surface, leopard is extending an olive branch, because becoming a mentor is a HUGE honor in riverclan especially, where the system originated. especially for feathertail’s age, she’d only been a warrior for a little while at that point. and it made sense to some cats because sasha and feathertail were close. (note: feathertail’s characterization is different here and her relationship with sasha differs from canon. she no longer gets angry with sasha for being involved with tigerstar, but there’s still some conflict there that i wanna figure out. like perhaps stormfur gets angry instead and the two argue?)

but feathertail knows why she got an apprentice and stormfur didnt, why leopardstar didnt continue the siblings training siblings trend- it’s because shes on her “best behavior”. aka, she doesnt rock the boat or cause drama “over the past”. she’s a warrior that “lives in the present”. and her maturity and grace will do wonders for little mothpaw. and it serves as a little punishment for stormfur for not forgiving honoring his clanmates.

so feathertail and mothwing both struggle with being doormats and on mothwings part, theres some learned behavior there. but the two are also very close and care about one another a lot- so when feathertail leaves, mothwing’s lost a core part of her support system

[dirt-str1der]

What ive learned about the yakuza community is that you guys are way too hung up over that scene in y4 where he pinned haruka to the ground then started panting really heavily , that didnt happen for me , that scene wasnt real to me i forgot about it.

becoming obsessed with a minor npc truly is a blessing and a curse

On Reconciliation

[chuchayucca]

Tbh I'm surprised nobody else has brought up the idea of Richard being abused too

It feels like a lot of potential for it and an explanation (aside from their status) as to why Roy never got help for it either -- Richard thought it was normal.

Now this is just making me imagine a scene where Carmen remarks that Roy will "grow out of it" (it being his behavior) like Richard did in front of the other Hatz and Ross and Robert just share a Look

Anddd now I'm wondering how much Carmen knows

TW for discussions of fictional CSA/SA and mentions of alcoholism

Me too, I thought it would be an obvious assumption but I guess not.

Exactly, I’ve seen the fandom explore Carmen and Roy’s relationship regarding his CSA but never with Richard. I think it’s ashamed because there’s a lot you can write for the relationship, even outside of their CSA.

Omg that’s a good scene idea. The Hatzgang are realized there is a deeper issue, and Roy has to unfortunately unpack that generational trauma. I can see how learning his dad is a possible CSA victim, like him, starts pushing Roy to tell his parents but also discourages him because basically Richard unknowingly knew Roy was SA but never recognized it because he doesn’t know he was SA too. I also believe Richard normalized his brother’s actions too. It’s truly devastating how Richard indirectly contributed to the normalization of Roy’s abuse but he doesn’t know it’s SA. He believes those fun “games” him and his brother played were normal family bonding activities and is happy to hear his son is getting along with his brother, a brother he admired when growing up.

These headcanons might change as the series continues and the deeper I get into research.

I headcanon Carmen doesn’t know anything but has suspected something was off a few times. She never thought anything of Richard’s behavior at first because he alway been this way. When they became adults, she started questioning as Richard still had issues with intimacy at that point in their relationship and his alcoholism was at its worst. (Short ver: Richard started drinking at a young age to cope with trauma of his SA and the Uncle encouraged this, buying him alcohol for various reasons. Modern day, Richard is a functional alcoholic but has gotten better with his drinking)

As of the moment, Roy’s parents are unaware of Roy’s CSA. The day the Uncle died, Roy did get in trouble but for separate reasons. Carmen and Richard were mad at Roy for hanging out with “plebeians” and sending them to one of his uncle’s private properties. Roy doesn’t feel comfortable telling them yet because they’re snobby, judgmental people, so he assumes they won’t react well.

[doomspiral]

Immediate enormous bump in my road is having to do all this research bcs the next ch of cta is a half step out of my knowledge base. And this is smth im doing for fun. Everyone who just sticks to one character/culture they already know are actually the sane ones here.

[crimeronan]

shoutout to everyone who fucking called that there was another grimwalker, i could not IMAGINE how they'd be able to fit that into the narrative with the remaining time and found all the theories far-fetched. shows what i know. you're all geniuses.

however.

i'm not sure i saw ANYONE call that belos would FUCKING EAT HIM,
