(Behold what happens when I have ideas that far surpass my skill level... ^^; Here we have tall-ish Lunar, roughly Bloodmoon height, only taller if his hat gets counted. And this universes versions of the Gemini twins)

Okay so this needs some explaining; this here is Asylum AU's version of Lunar and the Gemini twins. I didn't put their information on my last post about this AU because:

A. I genuinely enjoy these guys little side tale so much I wanted to attempt to give a good visual to go along with their bit.

B. I thought it was long enough already.

So I'm gonna write their whole little bit below, as with everything I write it's gonna be LONG, but hopefully a fun read.

Enjoy ^_^

.

Lunar: As with all this universe's characters, he started off life built by Eclipse to assist him... But the main difference was that this Lunar was treated infinitely better than our Canon Lunar was right from the get go. Not to mention that he had his Star Power right from the beginning as well...

How did he have that you may ask?

Simple... Doc Eclipse acquired some meteorites that contained an unknown alloy. And he genuinely went 'What the hell, why not?' and used it to build Lunar's body. Which apparently contained some residual Star Power and thus, this Lunar has his powers.

Right from the beginning, Lunar didn't want to fight with Sun and Moon and he began trying desperately to get everyone to stop fighting. So to make a very long story short, eventually, he was successful in getting the fighting to actually stop because Sun and Moon grew to care about Lunar like a brother. Although the fighting didn't stop until there was significant damage done to the motor control of Eclipse's left leg... There's an uneasy peace between the two halves of Lunar's family as the result of this.

Free to choose what he wanted to do with his life, Lunar took his love for games to the next level and started a gaming company. (But also made Beanbag chairs as well) Lunar's commitment and genuine love of the games that the company made reflected in their products and it didn't take long before Lunar's company not only became successful, but a MAJOR name in gaming.

By the time Asylum AU starts, Lunar's gaming company, Starfall Games, (The logo being the blue star emblem Lunar is creating and has on his clothes) is considered the number one gaming company in the world. Their claim to fame is their games quality. As they have never once released a game with any major bugs. Lunar is a very good boss and although he demands a great deal from his employees, but he is never unreasonable. And he regularly rewards his staff who go above and beyond.

He's a tough, but fair boss.

Lunar owns a huge tower in the middle of the city, which he lives in. It's so advanced it would make Tony Stark jealous. He lives in the penthouse on the upper stories while the lower stories contain the main headquarters for his gaming company. His tower is seemingly crafted from obsidian, with neon blue lights running throughout it. The dress code for the staff actually follows a similar theme, with everyone wearing bright seemingly neon colors. Or have some sort of celestial, space or star theming.

Lunar's powers in this area also 98% mastered, with the problem 2% to be addressed in a bit. Like Canon Lunar, he has electricity. But this version, rather than weather powers, his focuses on electricity, lightning and electro plasma. He actually powers his entire tower with his abilities and is in negotiations with the city to possibly power the entirety of that as well in the near future. His lightning powers are incredibly deadly if used in combat, but fortunately he next to never needs to use them offensively. In the rare instances he does need to fight, he is skilled enough to actually manipulate the electrical currents in a human body and essentially short-circuit a human temporarily. It's even more potent against animatronics.

But it's his plasma powers that he is actually the most fond of, as he's so skilled with wielding them that he can literally craft various things out of the plasma and then dissolve them on a whim. He can literally create tiles or stairs that allow him to walk in the sky. It's not uncommon to see him stroll across the sky near his tower at any given time...

But his favorite thing by far to create is his Plasma Cycle. Essentially a futuristic Tron-esque motorcycle that can reach nearly unfathomable speeds and drive over every type of terrain and even drive in the sky with him creating a plasma road below and in front of the bike to drive on.

(Essentially like this but in a brilliant blue)

Ultimately this Lunar has a very good grasp on things, but there are still some... Drawbacks...

Lunar didn't get to where he is in life without having to deal with A LOT of shit. With the one thing he has grown to value THE MOST in people is loyalty and honesty. He has endured many betrayals and been in the midst of liars and he finds people who partake in these negative things to be the lowest of the low.

He's not crazy and understands small lies and fibs can be understandable, even necessary. As he regularly lies about how good his Suns homemade 'Mint Sugar Cookies' are... They're damn near inedible, have the texture of a mix of toothpaste and sand, but nobody has the heart to tell Sun.

Aaaand then there's his family and that often deeply uncomfortable situation...

The thing Lunar loves the most, more than his company or anything else, is his family. His deepest wish and desire is for them all to stop hating each other and get along. Which is the one thing he wishes for every year on his birthday, when he invites everyone to either his home, or another location to spend the day together...

And every year without fail...

It's a total disaster...

It would seem Moon and Eclipse, in spite of their love of Lunar... They can't not fight for even a single frickin hour. They will fight, Sun will cry, Solar Flare will try to make peace, Bloodmoon stays the hell out of it, aaaand things proceed to fall apart before they can even have dinner. Let alone cake...

Every year Lunar just endures this. His heart breaking a little more each time... A tiny part of him wondering if he means so little to his siblings that they can't just get along for him for just a few hours. But, he just buries it and smiles and says that next year will be different. The stress of his family fighting is the only thing that can cause him to lose a grip on his powers. Sometimes leading him to short out an area and have to pay a hefty bill to repair the place he accidentally wrecks.

...fortunately he has his best friends, Castor and Pollux, by his side whenever these nightmares happen...

...the two people he trusts most of all...

...yeaaaah...

.

Castor and Pollux: In this dimension, the Gemini twins were drawn to the bizarre Star Power usage on this planet, eventually tracking it to Lunar when he was at his company. And they came with literal perfect timing, as Lunar had just started wandering through some of the floors of his company and they just appeared there.

One thing about this Lunar is that he is more than a little... Oblivious...

So oblivious in fact that he didn't notice the two clearly inhuman beings in his presence. But, to be fair, his companies dress code could have allowed a normal person to make such a mistake for maybe the first time... Not consistently every day for several years.

Now Lunar was in work mode, so he was wandering through the halls and checking in while being flanked by these two who were trying to talk to him. All while he initially thought they were just trying to pitch an idea to him, something that happens a lot. But as they continued to dog him, (And growing more frustrated at Lunar brushing them off) It finally occurred to Lunar that their behavior wasn't like someone trying to pitch a game idea... And then it dawned on him...

They had to be the new assistant the agency sent over...

Although why would the agency send two people and not just one?

Castor, decently annoyed by everything going on and seeing the opportunity to at least get the information that they need, doesn't exactly lie pre say... he merely says that they are there to 'Observe and offer help as need be.' And how they were a two-for-one deal.

Lunar just shrugged and went with it...

So over the course of the next few years, Castor and Pollux are by Lunar's side nearly constantly. They had to learn a fair bit about games and paperwork, but fortunately they are incredibly fast at learning and adapting. So they went from just being the assistants that Lunar admittedly went through fairly quickly... As a lot of them got too comfortable and got a bit powermad having access to the bosses attention. The two Astrals not only became invaluable in helping Lunar with his day to day responsibilities, but also became his closest companions and friends. To the point that they literally moved into his penthouse with him, updated their respective wardrobes with more human-esque clothes (Lunar actually crocheted them their scarves and added the star logos) and they are even so joined at the hip to him that he now instinctively manifests a pair of sidecars onto his Plasma Cycle which allows his companions to join him on his fun high speed insanity.

...at first they were just doing their jobs, observing Lunar and assessing if he was a threat or not...

But after a while things drastically began to change...

Lunar had a very good handle on his abilities. Had the good sense of when to use them. But more than that... He was giving, kind and just overall a nice guy who did everything he could to bring joy and happiness to the people around him.

And he succeeded in ways he couldn't imagine...

Lunar had somehow, made Castor and Pollux feel overwhelming joy and happiness. Given that Astrals don't feel emotions like mere mortals can... It was a jarring experience when Lunar somehow brought these emotions out in them and it made them realize that they actually, genuinely, cared about Lunar. A LOT...

But given everything...

They were now stuck in a bad spot...

While they never 'technically' lied to Lunar, they sure as hell know that they haven't been honest. Telling him the truth about themselves, about the Astrals in general, star power, his powers, everything... Given how Lunar values honesty and loyalty...

Oh yeah, they know they are in deep shit...

Not just with Lunar either. As they have been deliberately misleading what involvement is required of them to the other Astrals. While stating the situation is under control, but being extremely vague about what it even is. Aaaand even doing a few things to keep their fellow Astrals distracted from asking too many questions...

...like sending Scorpio an entire industrial roll of bubble wrap for them to stab with their tail...

...Giving Aries multiple wool pillows for them to rest comfortably on while meditating and using their dream powers...

...and last but certainly not least, sending Leo a beanbag chair completely packed full of catnip...

Courtesy of these little distractions, they have managed to avert deeper questions regarding what they have been up too. Except for Taurus who is getting suspicious about what exactly is going on down on earth. The only thing that has prevented him from heading down there to see for himself is with how busy he's been trying to track Rez.

But back to things on earth; given the closeness that the siblings have with Lunar it is now understood that in the company, they now wield as much power as Lunar himself. Referred to as Lunar's right and left hands respectively. They do, subtly, lead Lunar to occasionally have days where he takes some time off to just trains his powers. Pointing out one can never have too much control over such powerful abilities... They usually convince him to do this with the promise of having a picnic and just having a day to chill and unplug from everything. They have made an effort to do this every few months ever since they witnessed one of the hellish fiascos that Lunar's birthday turned into...

That was a horror show...

Made worse by how having his whole family together for a day was the only thing Lunar could talk about for a whole week...

Pollux: (Her hands clamped over her mouth as everything just spiraled out of control. So completely stunned still)

Castor: (In disbelief and his eye twitching) What is happening here?

Bloodmoon: (Surprisingly staying out of it) Not sure. But we're about a minute away from stuffing our pockets full of shrimp and getting the hell outta here...

Everything was over in under an hour, leaving Lunar heartbroken and usually a venue wrecked. The Bloodtwins at least making sure that Lunar got home alright, to which the Gemini twins then took it upon themselves to cheer Lunar up, always being sure to have a little 'Backup Party' ready to cheer him up.

And this has just become a solemn tradition...

Lunar gets his hopes up for a happy time with all the people he loves the most, it gets ruined, the twins take him back home. They handle the incoming apologetic phone calls that follow, Castor swears at them... a lot... Then they watch movies, play games and have some ice cream cake.

And Lunar asks how he got so lucky to have them in his life...

And they feel that knife of deception twist in their proverbial hearts...

obey me and the fall - a metaphor for asylum and immigration, and the problems refugees face

(random fuckass header image bcs. i want this to be formatted nicely <3) Obey Me as a game hasn't really sparked me as the type to delve into sociopolitical issues of today (it's a dating sim for christ's sake; it's more escpism than anything), but revisiting some of nightbringer's main story did give me a strangely altered perspective of the events of The Fall, and the aftermath of such. Any piece of creative work have agendas behind them, and so from this I came to the conclusion that the events of the fall directly mirrors the plights refugees face when imigrating to a new country. obey in itself doesn't explicitly frame itself as political, but nothing is ever "not political".

(spoilers up to lesson 15 of nightbringer after the cut)

What We Know About The Fall + The Parties Involved

The Celestial Realm is governed by Michael, though the Father is an active and supreme force throughout the realm. The Celestial Realm remains the primary residence of angels and celestial beings.

The Fall occurs directly after the Great Celestial War, after their Father crushes the brothers' rebellion.

They fall to the Devildom and remain there as demons until present day.

Lucifer swears an oath of allegiance to diavolo "for all eternity".

The inciting incidence is arguably a miscarriage of the Celestial Realm's justice system, which failed Lilith and in turn the brothers. The rules (instated) remained in place in order to maintain balance between all three realms, but it had no consideration for the true safety of his own creation. It was obviously why they then decided to revolt; they refused to let their own sister be subject to just being wiped from existence. The revolt actively defied their Father's authoritarian rule and is directly political.

Being cast out of the Celestial Realm, they then fell into the Devildom and practically remained there, seeking polictical asylum. To ensure Lilith's and the other brothers' safety, Lucifer swears allegiance to Diavolo, perhaps in the same way one earns citizeship by swearing allegiance to a governmental figure. Many real immigrants have to undergo this process even when this new country does not have their interests priotized. Lilith is a martyr to their cause, dying (in their minds) as a figurehead of resistance against such a rule. Lucifer's allegience is a method of quiet resistance, not to only save himself but his family (and with such a move, he jepordises his fate).

Within the Devildom, the brothers are kept hidden, sheltered from the rest of the world as the news of the Celestial War shook not just the Celestial Realm but the Devildom too. As they had only recently arrived, they are in "no position" to refuse orders from the King himself. There's seven of them even with Lilith gone: with death and pain arrives another "brother" born from grief and wrath. We'll save him for later.

Whenever they do want to leave the Demon King's Castle, they were met with disdain and disgust. Mammon and Asmo can't even go shopping normally as they were thrown out not for their actions, but for who they were as people - angels. What truly matters, that many Devildom folk do not consider, is that they all maintain a soul within them -- they are alive in a sense, yet "dehumanize" each other.

In extreme conditions, extremist ideologies survive. When "foreigners" arrive, the hate and disdain is palpable. It is this xenophobia and villainization of immigrants that mirror the struggles the brothers face. When they prove themselves through jepordising their own lives, they become "rulers" of the underworld, status shooting up for the underlings they were previosly treated as. They become, in a sense, humanized; it wasn't just about being seen as powerful and preserving that power and status they held in the celestial reallm, it was about mere respect, basic human decency. They were not asking for much.

(i find it interesting that Mammon was one of the first to detest this treatment, and actively found ways to build his reputation: has he been treated like this before? Mammon doesn't seem like the type of character that wants to be pitied by others. or perhaps he wants to give back what he gave to Lucifer for "straightening them up". It's perhaps closely related to the fact that Mammon was more easily adapting to the idea that he was a demon now, better than even Lucifer himself. But at the same time, it wouldn't make sense for him to try and adapt to the view of others to be seen as a "demon". I think I'm thinking too hard about this. Maybe he just wanted the riches and fame, or this is a stretch.)

But for now, they dine as a family... even when in a later instance, the hatred persists, although different.

When Simeon and Luke have dinner at their first dinner within the Devildom, Luke refers to Asmo's newfound ability as "disgusting", and hates the fact that someone as beloved as the "jewel" of the heavens has fallen so low. As soon as they outwardly show this new label that they have claimed, it is still instantly rejected. Luke acts as the personification of natives in the same way rejecting those who have left their countries for a variety of reasons. In many ways are such people seen as traitors and backstabbers through the act of "betraying their homeland", but it is not a crime to want something better for yourself outside where you originally grew up. However, Asmo doesn't realize this and his yearning persists quietly in the background of the dinner as they continue to converse about old memories in the Celestial Realm.

Satan's identity is comparable to that of a second generation immigrant. Yes, he shares blood with Lucifer, but he never was truly an angel. Being born in a place where you have to assimilate at once, and have no knowledge of your homecountry, no knowledge of your "identity" or what you're meant to be... such a problem can resonate with second generation immigrants because they are seen as "one of the other". It can't be both. It is seen through the minor upset Satan has as a table -- everyone was reminicing about their hometown, where they still have positive memories from. The six still maintain identitis shaped from those memories, but Satan's remains unclear, attached to the person he hated the most. It is clear that the brothers's roots, though bittersweet, are still important to them. It still builds their identity and keeps them strong, and it's what Satan needs.

When finally confronted, Asmo finally reveals that he wants to return back to the Celestial Realm and being an angel, a metaphor for returning to one's home country and still taking back that rigid sense of identity established by others. Finally, when everything settles, Belphie and Beel invite the two other angels to play video games together. They all mention this feeling of connection to the room; the area acts as an analogy for shared culture(s), whether that be through food, music, dance, tradition. Though they are now angel and demon, immigrant and native, their identity shines.

The sole benefactor of their turmoil is Diavolo, who is still idealistic - perhaps this experience is what sowed the seeds of uniting the three worlds in peace. Nevertheless Diavolo accomodates them with Barbatos's help, mirroring the provisions the welfare state may provide for its people (in this case, it's asylum seekers). It's helpful, but holds an amount of power almost fragile to touch; the abuse of said power can be actively hurtful and harmful to such migrant communities. Diavolo takes Beel away for his destructive behaviour at dinner, unable to hear the other brothers' pleas for help. Barbatos notes that he has broken rules, and must be punish for destroying the King's property; law enforcement does not involve sympathy nor does it care for situation ethics. It can be sterile, and unmoving for even those who may have been seen to do the "right thing".

For some, they scenes are a reality, whether they may be escaping from extreme conditions or emmigrating for the shot of a better life within the western world. The mere label of "demon" given to them represents not only the physical change they have gone through, but the growth of a completely new and unique identity. The choice to stay in the Devildom is a metaphor for the fact that lines and boarders do not reveal one's true identity. Identity comes from family, culture, and the way that one has been brought up. The brothers embrace the titles of lords of the underworld, yet still preserve parts that still made them unique from the beginning of creation. So if that isn't how true identity works, I don't know what does.

thank you all for reading, and please don't be afraid to share your own thoughts and analysis! thank you to @avirtualdrive for listening to my deranged rambles over vc, as well as @sirstacksalot for just encouraging me to stretch this interpretation further ^^

"I love you." And then he froze. No cigarette, drug, morphine or any crutch could compare to that moment. It was the first time in years he felt peace.

tags: angst, anxiety, depression, drugs. word count: 810

0:31

Carmy often complained about how his apartment felt like a asylum, the closest thing to hell. Everything seemed out of place, disorganized, meaningless. Empty.

He needed to redecorate.

The bookshelf looked like something you'd find in a junkyard, piled high with trash. His clothes were scattered everywhere, shoes flipped upside down. The smell of his sheets and the clothes he had worn for days, even though they were past the point of being clean. Sometimes, the plumbing would fail, and he'd have to shout in frustration and accept yet another day without a shower.

01:29

He needed to move.

None of this felt real, normal. His parents fought constantly, his siblings complained, and his entire life seemed better on the other side.

He, himself, seemed better outside.

Everything looked perfect from the outside, with his talent and all the praise he received, even amidst the constant chaos of the restaurant—the shouting, the fights that made him roll his eyes. Nothing made sense.

2:00 AM

He needed a new life.

You: Carmy, I’m sorry. I fell asleep.

Her message interrupted his spiraling thoughts, forcing him to swallow hard and regain his composure.

Carmy: It’s fine. Don’t worry. I was still awake.

You: What happened?

The message glowed on his screen, read only a few minutes ago. She was waiting for a response, nervous, in another city. Just as messy as he was.

Carmy: Same old crap. Don’t worry about it.

He replied, breathing heavily, massaging his temples. His hair was a mess, as it always was in his usual chaos. He looked so beautiful, even in the disarray.

I should get therapy.

02:45

Carmy: One day, I’ll get out of here. One day, I’ll change all of this. I need you. I’m sorry for this.

You: Don’t apologize. Everything will be okay, one day. For both of us.

And so, another night passed. The day came and went, and the night lingered longer than it should. Like a torment that never quite leaves. Chef, Sugar, Mom, Sydney, Jimmy, Richie, Mike. What was wrong?

It was all so confusing, even the cars in Chicago seemed to move slower through his fogged mind. His head felt submerged underwater, the lack of oxygen warping his nervous system. Anxiety. How much air does someone need to stay afloat?

I should quit smoking.

"You know, I’ve always hated smokers," she started, her voice soft, a faint laugh following her words.

Carmy glanced at her, subconsciously lowering his cigarette as guilt weighed in his eyes. "If it bothers you, I can stop…"

"I’d look at those people with disgust, judging them, like I was better than them," she continued, her gaze distant, a sad smile tugging at her lips—one Carmy had learned to appreciate, despite its melancholy. She was broke, like him."I was so stupid. They didn’t deserve that."

"So what made you change your mind?" he asked, hesitant.

"I didn’t," she added, drawing a laugh from him. "Cigarettes are terrible, but at least they’re not as miserable as vaping or using needles."

"To the classics," he joked, raising his cigarette like a champagne glass, placing it poetically between his cracked lips, the cold air and dehydration of the night evident.

"But..." She took a breath, the warmth of her exhale mixing with the cheap cocoa butter on her lips. "You’re the only exception."

He smiled weakly. Her hair bounced as she looked at him, golden curls, eyes a deep blue—matching the sorrow of the world reflected in his tired gaze. Carmy was angelic, celestial. No image or sculpture could truly capture his beauty. That pure innocence, which wasn’t sensual but somehow carried desire.

"Thank you." He smiled, finishing his last drag before tossing the cigarette to the ground and stomping it out with his foot. "But I really should quit. I’m just using it as a crutch."

"I can’t judge you. I buy expensive skincare, thinking it’ll make up for a good night’s sleep and healthy food." She joked, and he laughed—just for a second, everything felt right. "Carmy."

"What?" He looked at her, the neon lights from The Bear shining on her face. Two dreams collided in that moment, competing for space in his heart. Drowning in the blue glow of the city’s decorations.

"I love you."

And then he froze. Like the storm inside him had suddenly calmed, as if he were floating on still waters. No cigarette, drug, morphine or any crutch could compare to that moment. The world stopped. It was the first time in years he felt peace.

"I love you too. A lot."

When he was with her, everything felt perfect. This was where he wanted to be. For the first time, he didn’t want to run from himself anymore, because she was there to embrace his mess. And that was what made Carmy Berzatto, Carmy.

Weapon of Choice liveblog

What do they MEAN by these eras, and why does it seem like there's a different era system for each planet? That doesn't seem helpful on a galactic scale

I know I said this last time, but Torvald being the first character we meet makes me lose my mind

I need to know so much more about Phaidon and how it works

Ahhhhh the Gallifreyan tendency to feel morally superior despite...everything

Wrong again? Has the CIA been screwing up a lot lately?

Torvald is so very desperate to prove himself

Why can she stand there safely actually? Did she do something to trick their sensors?

Does temporal law mean Time Lord law? Or did the temporal powers come up with an accord on Archatrix?

THE MUSIC MY BELOVED I MISSED YOU

Narvin's sigh on "Her mood?"

I didn't get the K-9 Mozart scene the first time and I don't get it the third. Is it implying he had bad knockoff recordings to learn from? Or that he's doing a bad job of playing the music? I don't understand!

"Your own intelligence—such as it is" lol

Narvin was just not going to mention that he was involved in an experiment with this very device, huh?

Speaking of, what do you mean "the only surviving Time Lords who remember it"??

Romana's only hobbies involve hanging out with K-9, don't they?

Oh, Leela :'(

I wonder how long it took her to decide to leave the city

Brax pulling a gun on her is so funny. He hardly ever uses weapons and I don't even usually picture him carrying one

Is this implying that she might be deported without Andred to protect her? tf?

Leela taking sides in the K-9 feud lmao

Romana and her nepotism. "You're a special case because I like you"

Leela relying on "would the Doctor want this" for her moral compass

"Romana, this tardis is broken" gets me every time, and of course she's right. What is up with this wonky tardis

Torvald is so whiny omg

Romana is still so sweet talking to K-9 <3 it reminds me of the way she cooed over him when she was travelling with the Doctor

K-9 is an even worse liar than Narvin, this is a horrible plan

Oh, and Torvald is just as bad at lying (which is ironic, actually)

His alarmed "Have we met?" lol

Was Romana hoping that Leela would pick a fight?

I know why she recognizes and disliked Imperiatrix now! But why does Arkadian know that word? I like to think it's another of those Time Lord myths that turn out to be true

Oh she's so mean!

She may not have friends, but Brax is definitely the only person Romana really trusts at this point

"I am a commander in the Celestial Intervention Agency, please don't kill me" he's so pathetic

Leela's speech here is a genuinely good argument against the Time Lords

"That's...really horrible" lol

"All intervention, no intelligence" yeahhh

Leela already running into trouble for being too closely connected to the Time Lords <3

Why is Brax? What does he mean he remembers things he can't know? Where were they even going with this?

"These asylum seekers are not our priority" oof

What does he mean she has no choice? He can't just...

HOW ARE THEY BOTH OVERRULING HER SHE IS THEIR LORD PRESIDENT THE FUCK

That genuinely does bug me, given her level of power. I don't think she would put up with this, or that most Time Lords (including Narvin) would dare try it. Ok, Brax would, though

Brax referencing the Titanic he is such an Earth nerd (and also possibly a suck up)

Brax politely reminding her to stay calm my beloved <3

Love when Gallifreyans feel so superior it makes them naive

I can just see Romana rolling her eyes here because she has to do everything herself

And OH the overacting it's gorgeous!

Also making Brax decide if she dies—as I said, the only one she trusts

Narvin doesn't even care! He's so awful!

Romana showing up to negotiate with terrorists and promptly calling Torvald stupid

I choose to believe Romana faints for a minute here when she gets shot

Nepenthe is a bit fickle for a fanatic here, isn't she?

"This woman has killed herself and you think only of your evidence" yeah I'm with Leela here

Leela needs to leave Gallifrey yes, but she would not like living on Gryben

Oh I NEED to play around with this—Leela was fully ready to leave Gallifrey forever until Romana offered her a job, and her enthusiasm here is genuine. She just wants to be needed and loved

[bonnie-drxws]

I just saw someone on twt mention that Black Myth Wukong and Rose Quartz are similar bc they both wanted a peaceful life away from Celestial forces but they can't do that in their current form so they transformed into this,,, child/successor person who is half them but also IS them and it's like...., woah. And now I'm just sitting here thinking is... Is Erlang Pearl? His third eye keeping SWK's memories and Pearl keeping all her memorabilia there, THEY BOTY WIELD SPEARS OF SOME KIND

Andd also like.... Zhu Bajie is GREG. FUCK? DO YOU ALL SEE THE VISION OR AM I ALONE IN THE ASYLUM RN

Alright Zhu Bajie messily making out with Erlang? Sure, let's run with it (if you have been on Steven Universe twt or TikTok, you would know!!)

Pairing: Ezra x trans!reader

Words: 850

Rating: M (nothing explicit but dynamics implied)

Author: Mod Mouse

Summary: You are the center of attention at Ezra's gathering.

Notes: Thanks to @jennaispunk for reading it over!

The candles burn low in the intimate room casting shadows on the walls behind you. But you didn’t notice. You were looking ahead just like you were instructed to do. All you saw were the sparkles that danced on the floor from the multitudes of stars that graced the wall. Your dom had jumped on the idea of a celestial themed night at the club. 

The guests for tonight filed in one by one, escorted to their assigned seats by the attendant. Wine was poured and chattered filled the space as slowly each spot was taken. A soft music from a string quartet wafted through the room, giving a high class feel to the space. 

Once the last guest sat at their plate, the lights switched off sending soft murmurs throughout the crowd. All except for the spotlight on your figure. You were the center of attention for tonight. Legs spread to shoulder width, arms braced behind your back, and nude as the day you were born. Goosebumps prickled your skin as you waited patiently for your duty. 

Soft footsteps ascended the raised dais to where you stood as a soft applause rippled through the crowd. You could feel the presence of your dom standing next to you, and your fluttering heart calmed. The soft fabric of his suits brushing against your chilled skin. How you ached to nuzzle into his side like you could in some scenes, but this wasn’t one of them. He had the ropes tonight, and you were the canvas. 

“Welcome esteemed patrons! Thank you for joining us this twilight. Tonight we have a beautiful array of presentations for you. But first we must prepare the highlight of this carnal evening. So let’s not waste a singular moment. My ropes please.” Ezra spoke as another pair of footsteps came closer. 

The attendant set the rope in Ezra’s outstretched hands. “Thank you. Now maestros, a melody.” 

Soft violin music drifted through the space filling the ears of the attendants. A gentle touch on your shoulder alerting you to his orientation, but you kept your head down. His gloved hands caressed down to your shoulder blades and you instinctively lifted your arms. 

“Such a stunning specimen.” Ezra praised as he slid the rope around your chest, mindful of your scars. Slowly he pulled the two sides of the rope to your back. 

“Mercury takes its place as the sovereign planet keeping close to the warmth of the center of our cosmic asylum ” Ezra recited as he pulled the rope around your chest once again securing the line with the first loop.  

“Venus the next sphere. Brightest amongst her peers shines as a point of lust and love in the darkest of skies.” He continued as he pulled the rope through all three loops containing your torso in the intricate ties. 

His hands never leave your body as he takes his time moving in front of you. You dared take a peak at him and your stomach flushed with heat. Ezra appeared diving in his dark blue suit that glittered in the light from the intricate celestial embroidered sleeves. How you wanted to kneel for him. 

“The mother Earth that houses our great inventions, and keeps us grounded.” He pulled the rope over one shoulder securing it to the front loop before repeating the step with the other shoulder. 

“Mars that brings vengeance and scarlet across the horizon, and yet hope for the future of our kind.” He brought the rope back behind your back making sure everything was secure. 

Ezra returned to your back as he attached another rope to the other ropes. “Jupiter whirls as the storm in his soul, and commands the legions of moons as the army of the skies.” He pulled your arms back, joining them to the knots in your back ties. 

“Saturn with the rings as rich as any royalty's jewelry spinning at such incomprehensible speeds ” Adding a rope around your thigh and the other on your ankles.

“Uranaus and Neptune, the blue giants that are as frigid as their outward appearance.” A steel ring descended from the ceiling. Carefully he joined all three ropes on the ring making sure they were all tight. He turned his head and slowly the circle ascended pulling your body up slowly.

Your head dipped as the meditative sway of suspension took over your psyche. Gently you hung as the art piece you were designed to be. With one knee in the air as if you were kneeling, you drifted as the ropes subtle twisted and turned with the air. 

“Ethereal!” Ezra exclaimed as applause rippled through the room “I present my solar system!” Colorful globes descended and surrounded your form representing the mentioned planets. Lazily they orbited you in slow rotation. You were his sun and he wanted everyone to know that. 

Your eyes gazed down to Ezra as he watched his muse above him. Only adoration for you graced his features, and your heart fluttered in your chest. You closed your eyes once more as you fulfilled your duty to the night: Ezra’s chandelier.

Hmmmmmm… I wonder how will the celestial family react to just how BAD nexus gets from the I cohesively horrors he’s gone through. Sure, they’re probably not worrying about it THAT MUCH since they have more important things in their life but OOOH BOY- nexus has gone through so much misery and has more mental damage they can’t do anything but get away from it, for now. But we will see :)

(Nexus deserves much better, the main cast putting him in a mental hospital was really the only option they had besides killing him. Though nexus would have just death take him to super hell now, better than actually living hell Emo boy ) Nexus: *going through mild severed mental damage* PLEASE JUST TAKE ME OUT OF THIS HELL AND MAKE ME GO TO SUPER HELL

The celestial family: “Is he getting worse???”

(Probably not canon in this AU) That one killer sun who murders moons: I heard someone needs to be killed? :)

Oh it's not gonna be pretty that's a fact...

As you said, the mental hospital was really the last option they had. It was very clear that he was far beyond their ability to help. When Sun threw a fireball at his chest and ignited the bomb Ruin had secretly put in him, he had actually burned out all of Nexus's Negative Star Power. Which has left him unable to use it anymore... But nobody thinks about the residual pain It's left.

It's like a severe burn but completely internal... There's no visible injury, so the discomfort it's causing is not taken seriously by anyone.

The one person who is, unintentionally, going to make this whole situation CONSIDERABLY worse...

...is Moon...

Moon has grown to HATE Nexus. No secret there. But now, after they put him in the asylum and seeing is how Sun was originally visiting him every couple of days... Well... Moon slowly works on getting Sun to stop visiting Nexus.

Moon: He doesn't want you to visit Sun. Every time you go there he's worse. You may love him, but you're not helping him.

Moon appeals to the part of Sun that wants to help his younger brother and he is successful in getting Sun to back down and focusing on the more immediate problems that they have to deal with. Frankly Moon would be happy if he was truly able to get Sun to just give up on Nexus. Even though he knows he really can't, he certainly has tried to put a large amount of distance between himself and anything that would carry memories of Nexus.

(I always thought it was EXTREMELY shitty how as soon as Moon came back he just sells the house Sun and Nexus lived in and moved them somewhere else. He didn't even consult Sun about it until after it was sold... Nexus had only JUST gone crazy and Moon comes back and gets rid of the place Nexus called home and Sun just went with it. I can only imagine how that must have actually hurt Nexus. Especially if he really liked where he lived. Enjoying the beach, listening to the ocean... Even if he'd come back, he would be living in a strange place that was forced on him and nothing like the house he'd gotten comfortable in.)

(Truly a dick move there Moon...)

And now, unfortunately, Moon got his way and Sun is not visiting Nexus anywhere near as much. Putting several months in between his brief visits. Where Sun just sees Nexus spiraling and angry at him for putting him here, let alone signing him up for the horror they're putting him through. Unaware he's being illegally used as a test subject...

It's a perfect storm that's just making Nexus's life more of a living hell, to the point that he would rather be in Super Hell than living in this nightmare...

(Oh yeah, Killer Sun isn't gonna be here. He's funny but he won't be showing up here ^^;)

OC Deep Dive

Thank you for the tag @aristenfromwarsaw

I have so many I would love to do this for, but then I would feel bad for blowing up everyone’s feed 😵‍💫

My OC:

Desdemona “Lenore” Vhammos- the First and Only Vampire Ascendant

What common/ Uncommon fear do they have:

Pre-acension, she is terrified of being confined (think burrito blanket type stuff) and of monsters like liches because of her time being confined and tied down to the floor of an abandoned asylum.

During the Tadpole, her biggest fear is Dahlia, but more specifically Dahlia hurting Astarion. She quickly becomes attached to him because he understands her situation and makes her feel less robotic- encourages her to be more engaged in life than passive. Dahlia doesn’t want her to realize she’s actually a person.

Post ascension- her biggest fear would be to give Astarion probably more of a reason to hate her than he already does. Sure she’s still afraid of Dahlia and monsters to an extent, but she is more afraid of what Dahlia is willing to do to the people she cares about and the Night Masks learning about Astarion.

Her only consistent fear is that she is afraid of herself. Dahlia has given her such a skewed monster like identity that she is still struggling to break away from it.

Do they have pet peeves?

Absolutely- she hates being micromanaged or feeling micromanaged. She wants to be left alone and doesn’t particularly care for the company of others due to her upbringing. People are too… unpredictable.

What are three things that can be found in her bedroom?

A beaten up, millionth time restored pair of Celestial sandals Astarion bought her when they first got to Baldur’s Gate. She refuses to part with them and it’s the only gift he bought her that he forgot to steal back after he dumped her.

A notebook with charcoal- she loves to Draw. She isn’t able to read or write all that well until after she ascends so drawing is the best way for her to express herself.

Her telepathy rings- she is able to get past her selective mutism much more after she ascended, but she sometimes trips over herself and she doesn’t want to be without them and need them. If they are in her room, then that means Lenore is home.

What do they notice first in a person?

Their posture- posture is the eyes into insecurities as Dahlia has beaten into her.

On a scale of 1-10, how high is her pain tolerance?

8/10 at the very least. Dahlia is not a kind teacher and while stubbing her toe may suck, she wouldn’t be too bothered if she was… taken apart. Dahlia is creative.

Fight or flight mode?

Fight- she was quite literally trained to be a weapon and an extension of Dahlia. She is conditioned to strike first and fast.

Do they come from a big family a big family/ are they a family person?

Lenore grew up in an Ellistraee Monastery before Dahlia destroyed it and kidnapped her in Shar’s name. It was an all woman’s Monastery and so she grew up with everyone being a “spiritual family” (lots of children her age, adults, think Air Temple). She was a very happy, charismatic and social child.

Dahlia became her “mother” following her kidnapping and the Nightmask’s became her “family”. She isn’t family oriented with them.

She used to feel like the tadfools were her family and while they have all forgiven her, it’s still awkward for her to be around them.

What animal represents them best?

Javan Tiger- they are unfortunately extinct now. They are stealthy, opportunistic, territorial, and were very feared. However, she is very playful with the right people and I definitely canonically believe that she teaches Astarion how to fight during the Tadpole Dilemma and they often play fight like cats.

What is a smell she dislikes?

Sweet pea or Vanilla. They are Dahlia’s favorite scents and they make her nauseous.

Have they broken any bones?

All of them at various times- Dahlia believes in torture as a teaching method and being brought up in Sharran’s doctrine really reinforced this belief in Dahlia.

How would a stranger likely describe them?

Pre-tadpole, during tadpole and pre- ascension she would be described as a walking corpse or something in the Uncanny Valley. Something close to human, but not quite. She is rather unsettling and only the group really likes her. Astarion is the only one not unsettled by her entirely and adjusts to her quickly. He finds her to be rather beautiful and tragic. He finds her very alluring and lovely. He does still find her a wee bit terrifying and he finds that pretty attractive. Anyone who could kill Cazador by merely punching him in the face is exceptional in his eyes.

She is more patient and understanding- very quick to be empathetic and doormat like even though she comes across as cold. Weepy and struggles with coping with her feelings, but she isolates when this happens.

Post Ascension she would be described as cold, elusive, and hauntingly gorgeous. Somewhat put together and out of a magazine, book, kind of deal. Short tempered and quick to anger. Struggles with emotions so she is very avoidant. She is good at faking togetherness for the public and Astarion is really the only one who has seen her break and even that has been on accident.

Astarion is of course, enamored with her, but also despises her and thinks she’s a backstabbing bitch.

Are they a night owl or morning bird?

She used to be a night owl, but after her ascension and the tadpole, she loves the mornings. It doesn’t change her love for the nighttime and the moon.

What’s a flavor they hate and a flavor they love?

She likes whiskey enough, but Dahlia mostly injected blood directly into her body so she didn’t really taste anything again until the tadpole.

She hates the way Araj tastes. Fun story.

Do they have any hobbies?

Drawing, meditating, yoga, and mixed martial arts. Oh and bothering Astarion post ascension.

Boom! Surprise birthday party! How do they react to the surprise?

Like a terrified cat. She does not like surprises- notoriously they haven’t been fun- and it would either make her burst into tears or light the entire room on fire. There isn’t an in between.

Do they have neat or messy hand writing?

Pre-ascension, it’s horrific and Astarion takes a lot of time to help her. Post-ascension, her handwriting is much better, but only because she knows how to practice.

What are two emotions she feels the most?

Apathy and melancholy. She’s Grumpy Bear from the Care Bears- loveable, but grumpy.

Does she have a favorite fabric?

Jersey Sheets or Fleece- she is a huge texture freak and is very particular.

What kind of accent do they have?

She has a Sembian accent which is described as BBC English with a mix of a Dragon Coast accent which is described as being a New England accent- she basically sometimes doesn’t pronounce her Rs and pronounces Os as As occasionally. Often replaces -ing with -in (“I won’t be goin anywhere with you.”) I think Maeve from sex education ish and Keira Knightly. But she puts emphasis on certain letters like Saoirse Ronan. Astarion loves it when she talks because it means she is comfortable.

Huckleberry Hound — Avenger I

He moves in the shadows, darkness being his only companion in his path towards the light. His heroic spirit, tempered and matured through many trials, shines through even the blackest of skies. Celestial Warrior, Avenger I, descends upon the battlefield.

The town of Jellystone has driven many a mayor to an asylum. Yet Huckleberry has held the chair for a whopping three terms, with talks of a fourth looming on the horizon. At first glance, it’s easy to see why he’s popular. Coolheaded, unflappable, and possessing the classic laidback Southern charm, he’s seen as a beacon of normalcy in a town where get-rich-quick schemes and other shenanigans run rampant. Aside from a side note about him hailing from North Carolina, however, not much is known about his personal life, mostly because not many get too close. To many in town, although he is a well known public figure, he is often seen as a mysterious, steely-eyed and silent-type stranger.

And if one were to ask Huckleberry Hound, he’d be happy to hear it, because he’d prefer it if things stayed that way.

By day, he’s the untouchable, coolheaded mayor of Jellystone. By night, he is the fearsome and devastating Avenger. He appears to be a regular hound, but in reality, he is a Celestial, ethereal beings of mysterious origins with powers that have been sought after by many, and attained by few. As the name implies, Celestials are not of this Earth, but are born in the deepest parts of the galaxy. As one of the pure Celestials, he can summoned like a creature of myth, often called upon by those who have been grieved and betrayed. Huckleberry is a member of the Warrior class, and while many other Celestials surpass him in both power and combat prowess, he is not to be underestimated. As his name implies, he takes swift vengeance on wrongdoers, often in precise, yet brutal ways—and even if he loses a battle, he will give his opponent his all in combat, commanding their respect.

His umbrakinesis and his dark armor contrast heavily against his personality, which has led to several people, even his fellow Celestials, to believe that he is evil. He attacks his targets with soldier-like precision and dedication, with the goal of protecting the town he now calls home from any and all threats. This reflects his inner desire to serve, and as such, he will not raise his sword against anybody under false pretenses or without justification. He wants no praise for his actions, instead only wishing that the people who summon him are at least put at peace. As such, when his assignment is complete, his powers will lull those who summon him into deep sleep. Those who speak of Avenger afterwards can only describe his armor and demeanor—how his kindness contrasted heavily against his armor. He has an important Astral Skill, which allows him to both heal others and release their souls. In accordance with his powers, however, he will only do so if it’s the deceased’s will that they return or leave.

This was supposed to happen to Droop-a-Long Coyote, who sought immediate justice for the murder of his sister Betty, and inadvertently summoned him. One could imagine Huckleberry’s surprise when the coyote, who worked at the town hall as an intern, immediately came to him and thanked him for what he did for his little sister.

Huckleberry was so stunned that he could only utter one word:

“How?

—

I started Avenger after I finished the line art for Bugs, but didn’t get around to finishing him. However, I got it done over the weekend and I absolutely LOVE how he turned out! Those fabric markers did come in handy!

You knew I had to doodle Huck again before I do the others, LOL XD. And I will do a proper profile for Droopy and the others soon. But yeah, look at him and how cool he turned out!

Next one will hopefully be Reaper. I have an idea for how to design him at long last, and I have had a hankering to draw Ricochet again, so you can expect him soon!

Enjoy!

Live-blogging Gallifrey: Celestial Intervention

My interest is piqued. I want to know what Leela’s job is now

lol I love the way this show has to work. The President is all powerful except when it’s Romana, then her power is hanging on by a thread. The cia is untouchable until Romana is in charge, then they’re being undercut at every opportunity

I like the idea that Narvin greets Livia with her title because Romana certainly wasn’t about to, and they can’t look rude as a unit

“But if you know of it, it wouldn’t be a secret, would it?”

Oh dang Monan is under dalek control now?

Romana saying “Madame President” like she doesn’t mean it lmao

Leela is eternally a liaison in some way, isn’t she? It is an improvement over being eternally a fighter

Romana, despite no longer being in charge, just cannot help herself from breaking all the rules to get what she wants, can she?

Anyone saying in any context to Romana, “You and I are realists, whereas the President is an idealist” might be the funniest thing in this show

Deep time telescopes are SUCH a concept

I suppose it was inevitable but taking out the other Time Powers first is such a tragedy. They were all just starting to be established in the universe and have diplomatic relations with Gallifrey and such

“Very well. For Romana.” What did Narvin do that Leela is so grumpy at him?

I’m with Leela here. You’re meant to be checking for dalek traps, but saving some individual people here is a responsibility

The Time Lords would be offended and furious if an ally didn’t immediately grant them asylum, btw. That’s the worst of it

Ooh they’re terrible, but no worse than irl politicians

Holy shit. They really were like “we’ll take in refugees IF we can be allowed to do whatever we want with no oversight or information sharing”

Which is pretty much the cia except that we’re supposed to like Narvin and Romana so they need a new agency to fill that role

Romana yelling at Livia about this decision and then Narvin yelling at Romana about it lol

SO many things in this scene! Romana still trying to manipulate Leela. Leela’s first loyalty still being to honor and her word over her friends. Leela turning to NARVIN to see if Romana is lying to her

“Please…be careful.” “Oh, Romana. Where is the fun in that?” ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Leela is so nervous and they’re like “chill and do our dangerous work for us”

“Trave will never find out” He immediately finds out

“And I suppose the end justifies the means?” ROMANA THAT’S LIKE YOUR ENTIRE THING YOU CAN’T JUDGE HER FOR THIS

You are literally doing the exact same thing for your ends right at this moment

This is the most “what did you THINK would happen” situation they’ve ever been in.” They cajoled Leela into going into a dangerous situation, swore to her it would be fine, acted surprised when she wanted to fight instead of hiding, and now they’re panicking for her safety

*sends Leela into the death zone* *go themselves anyway the second she fails*

Did she just growl at him for complaining?

Can the daleks really be called a “civilization”?

Woooo official declaration of war and the way they decide to fight it as spies eeeee

But also, the official career options for former companions seem to be mostly “Gallifreyan intelligence” or “unit,” which given the Doctor’s sensibilities is really funny actually
