The Awakening
Chapter 8 (Part 2)
The vines started to relax a bit as Will attempted to fight back tears. His hand buzzed with electricity and warmth as he struggled to block the image of Mike’s face from his mind. He shook his head violently as a tempest of anger sprung forth.
“I told him! I told him the painting was from YOU!” Will bawled as tears sprung from vacant eyes. A dam of emotions unleashed from deep within. Even though he’d spent days perfecting his gift, it stood for so much more than that. And it meant nothing to Mike. Will collapsed from the sheer pain of unrequited love. Years of built up adoration and anguish cried out from fractured memories. With each shudder he made, the vines around El’s neck eased.
Barely able to focus on Will in front of her, El wept in sorrow. Her brother’s heart was breaking right in front of her. This whole time, Will wanted nothing more than to help her. He sacrificed his own feelings for herself and Mike, not realizing that they never truly loved each other. Not the way he and Mike do and always have.
“Will...” El began weakly. “Will, Mike knows it’s from you. I told him,” she coughed as the vines tightened once more. Trepidation darted from her eyes.
“A lot of good that did, El!” Will spat out. “Mike obviously doesn’t care. It’s plain to see that no one wants me around.”
“My dad was right,” he muttered, looking at the ground in disgust.
Will resolutely began to walk towards Vecna.
“Will!! Will please!” El cried in desperation.
“I’m sorry, El,” Will said flatly, “it’s too late.”

One more episode of public school arc left.
It’s pretty obvious now that episode 11 will be adapting chapter 85. Whether it'll be containing only that chapter is still unknown, can’t tell if its content will be filling 20+ minutes. What I find interesting is, they still showed Phipps' chicken even though Easter chapter wasn’t adapted.
These are just manga frames, still anime only don’t have any context to why he has a chicken on his shoulder all of a sudden. That gave me the last hope for episode 11 and possibility that half of it will be Easter chapter. Looking forward for the next week’s last episode.

Does one of you already start writing the next chapter before the other is done? Or do you wait until the other is done with the chapter, read it and then start the process for the next chapter?
we typically will start them while the other person is working on their chapter! suni started chapter 10 right around when i was finishing 9.1 — that said, with our schedules And the sheer amount of words our chapters end up being, it still takes a long time even with us being proactive!
#asks#i started ch9 i think during ch7 AND IT STILL TOOK 8 YEARS#and obviously with 9.1/9.2 being btb i couldn’t start the 2nd half before i finished the 1st lol#the same thing will happen for suni with chapters 10/11 unfortunately#<- i am starting ch12 once she starts ch11 tho bc i desperately need a break lol

In retrospect, Hoshina allowing Kafka to join the Third Division was a terrible terrible idea. He's so lucky that Kafka is powerful AND the bestest boy.
Kafka with his 1% could have died any minute. It would have traumatized the Third Division so fast. Those prodigy kids swore they wouldn't allow any of their colleagues to die. And??? The immensity of Mina's guilt if Kafka had died in her division??? She wouldn't forgive herself. At all.
Worse part is that Hoshina fell for Kafka's charm and it'd have hit him like a truck. You cannot have a comedy relief guy in the Defense Corps, unless you're asking for pain.
What happened on Episode 11 of the anime (if you want to know, that's around manga chapter 32) is really the best case scenario, actually.

The Awakening
Chapter 8 (Part 1)
Will could hear every word he said. He felt the weight of his voice which tugged on his heart. A sensation that hurt more than he wanted it to. He needed to believe it and trust in Mike’s words. A small voice echoed in his mind, “You can’t trust him. He’ll only hurt you again.” Will felt an abrupt tingling in his hand that hadn’t been there before. In an instant, Mike’s face flashed across his mind as warmth radiated up his arm.
“Will!!” El gasped trying to break free. “Listen to Mike!” The vines squeezed tighter around her limbs as she felt the fury pour through.
“Why?!” Will lashed out. He stepped closer to El with agony piercing his empty eyes. “Why should I believe any of it?! What is the truth, El?!”
El struggled to breathe as the vines pulsated around her neck and body. She was becoming dizzy and knew the time she had left would be short.
“Because- friends-,” El choked, “don’t- lie.”
Shaking his head, Will leaned into El with a stricken look. ‘This is my sister’, he thought, ‘but why should I believe her when Mike acted like I was nothing to him? And El never cared if I suffered. She would never know the pain of longing.’
He wrestled with the knowledge that El was physically suffering against his wrath, his agony... his heartbreak. Will turned his head and noticed Vecna was attached to the hive mind as he relentlessly searched for his next victim.
“I don’t think so, El,” Will said bitterly as he walked away. “Friends do lie. All the time. They can lie at the expense of others just to get what they want. You should know that better than anyone.”
Whirling around, Will’s eyes flashed with hatred. Letting out a guttural scream, he stepped closer to El as he lashed out, “Then there’s those who tell lies sacrificing themselves to help others!! And only end up getting their heart ripped out!”

red tape and the pieces of youth
chapter six: so roll up your sleeves
“Here,” Miles says, sliding his laptop over to Phoenix. “The notes from the other night.” Phoenix rubs his eyes. “Are you letting me copy your homework?” Miles rolls his eyes. “I don’t want to spend any longer on this than you do.” “I thought you loved paperwork.” “Not when my sister assigns it to me.” Miles pinches the bridge of his nose. “But at the very least, I do have to admit that she is very thorough.”

I’ve been thinking about how I’d section witch hat into arcs and I have a preliminary setup:
Volume 1-3: Introduction; you meet the characters, world, and main conflict.
Volume 4-5: Romonon arc; first conflict with Big Systematic forbidden magic. Also Richeh’s arc: the main conflict is whether it is valuable/worth it to study what came before you (cat man, Richeh can’t fight, Eunice’s preparations) and comes down definitively that it is.
Volume 6-8: Disability arc; not self-contained. Introduces the second main theme aside from education, which is Lack Of Access (to education and to other things). Starts off with beldaruit physically unable to access most of the city he lives in (sealchair too wide for the halls) and progresses onto qifrey (imminent visual impairments and social ostracism) and Tartah and Coustas who cannot access knowledge to improve their lives (medicine and magic).
Volume 9-[ongoing]: Justice arc; addresses who deserves to be able to access magic. Coustas? The knights? The king? The people? Begins to morph the question of deserving magic to the question of whether this is magic that deserves to be done, as in: is this magic something that improves a life, and can you trust everyone’s judgement on what does/doesn’t improve a life?
#anyways anyone who is more caught up/chapter reader is welcome to add to this or even if you’re not#I did think about pushing Access Arc into v9 just a bit for Coustas’ forbidden magic times but 8 feels like a turning point to me#witch hat atelier#tongari boushi no atelier#wha#tbna#witch hat#Also thought about clipping Justice to end on v11 bc THAT felt very turning point but 11 did also feel very self-contained (like 6) and#I haven’t read 12 yet so. hard to say!#anyways this has come out of me needing to talk about witch hat in a way that’s not volume by volume bc. I don’t remember that shit#I need to reread the silver eve volumes again…. The nuance there. Incredible. I’m not normal about it

Maybe also a little bit of Pretty Boy? (if you feel like it) 🤍🙏
WIP Wednesday: 11-8-23 (Closed) | Dealer's Choice: Pretty Boy
He hits the lock button to turn off the alarm and resumes his self-appointed task of getting Neil back to the house in Columbia. He'd get Neil in the bathroom, wash the rest of the blood from his face, see how Neil felt about the possibility of some making out, and get him in to bed regardless of the answer.
He looks at Neil and it really is infuriating that Neil has the audacity to only be more handsome with a bit of dried blood. "Can't believe some good for nothing thug would hurt Neil's pretty face." Nicky says.
"Yes, my poor pretty face." Neil says with a snort.

Unlikely Relations
HEADS UP: I promised that a new chapter would be released in early June, so here it is! Only this isn't exactly a new chapter. This is actually the first half of "Mind Warping" and the latter half is still in progress. I can't promise when that'll be out, however. Anyway, enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our story continues back in the darkest depths of Hell; even more harrowing and treacherous than any known location in the underworld. It was also the home of the Daemon Sisters’ mansion. They were currently holding Rock hostage in their basement, which they mainly use as their lair. Since they were busy with something at the moment, Fastener was there to prevent Rock from escaping, which can’t be ensured since he’s chained to the wall. The plush creature glared at the prisoner, making sure that the chains were on tight and that he had no possible chance of escape. “Uhm…. Well, you sure are focused on your job, little guy… heh…” Rock said, awkwardly grinning. He was at least trying to lighten the mood by having a conversation.
Fastener said nothing. Well, maybe it was because it was a plush mantis-like creature and if it even tried to talk it would only say its own name, and maybe it was because it was too focused at the time. It was both. Eerie silence began to fill the room once again. “Sooooo….” Rock began to look around for any sign of the demons and then looked back at Fastener. “...Do you have any idea when the others will be back or—” “YOU!!” Ironically, Scanty furiously called out Rock, indicating the arrival of her and Kneesocks. “You thought you could escape from us! You thought you could flee from our clutches and ruin our plans! But now we have you right where we want you, and we’ll MAKE you assist us if that’s not what you want!” The older Daemon sister viciously yelled while marching downstairs. Kneesocks tried to calm her sister while following her, despite being equally upset on the inside. “Calm down, sister. Rage will only take your mind off of the objective further,” She addressed.
Fastener immediately got up and bowed to the sisters, while Rock looked over at them in panic, already being startled by Scanty yelling at him when she first entered. “Oh! Uh, hi, girls! … When are you gonna let me out..?” He asked in worry. Kneesocks glared at the latter. “Oh, don’t try to act friendly with us, mortal. You’re trapped here, and there’s nothing you can do or say to persuade us into setting you free.” Her words only intimidated Rock even more. “..... Well, can you at least loosen the chains a bit?”
“SILENCE!” Scanty exclaimed, still furious about the whole ordeal. “You and your little friends have made us go through all of this trouble! Running into the princess of Hell would’ve been our ultimate downfall if it wasn’t for Kneesocks’ quick thinking.” Kneesocks blushed slightly at Scanty’s words. “Oh, sister, this is a serious moment. Please, don’t flatter me so much..” Scanty smirked at her younger sister’s embarrassment. “Well, maybe I should be more worried about your blushing tendency. You know how distraught you get when it happens~!” The sisters laugh at their conversation. Rock stared at them in confusion. He leaned a bit to Fastener as best to his ability with his current position. “Are they always like that?” He whispered. The plushie creature nodded in confirmation.
Once the demons had finished laughing and calmed down, they refocused their attention on Rock. Scanty, while still extremely upset, looked more sternly at him, yet slightly calmer. “Anyways, once weŕe through with you, you will no longer be a nuisance to our plans.” She smirked as she continued to speak. “As stated before, we’ll force you onto our side, making you part of an army which will spread across the multiverse!” She turned to Kneesocks. “Dear sister, is the mind warping device still in our inventory?” Kneesocks adjusted her glasses with a plain and blatant expression on her face. “It is, sister. But if we’re shifting the plan into controlling individuals once at a time, the device would need to be drastically modified.”
The smirk on Scanty’s face quickly turned into an irritated scowl. “WHAT!? What specific modifications would be made!?” The demon already had enough irritation in her life the past few days, and with all that’s currently going on, she’s finding it more and more impossible to contain her temper. Kneesocks pulled out a clipboard and reviewed the modifications that needed to be made. “Well, for starters, in order to build a proper army, we must reduce the device to a handheld size, making it significantly easier for a victim to pass on our control once affected.” Rock listened in on Kneesocks’ listings. “Wait… So now your plan is to create an army that functions like zombies or something?” He asked. “...It could be said given the plan’s new format, yes…” Kneesocks answered the prisoner. She adjusted her glasses again and looked back at the clipboard. “Once the first victim falls into our spell, they would have the ability to spread its effects onto others in a method that has yet to be determined. To properly reach that outcome, the device needs to be reduced in size, as stated before. But as it’s done, the device's original functions would have to be transferred to the new model, along with finding the new model an alternative power source.” Rock was listening to the details, and found himself a bit intrigued by them. “...You guys may be evil… but, you did plan this out extremely well, I’ll give you that.”
Alternatively, Scanty grew more furious at the complications to modifying the multiversal domination plan. She thought about them and calmed down in only the slightest. “...I suppose I’ll take it upon myself to make those changes…with the help of Fastener, of course.” The moment after Scanty said that, Fastener obediently scurried over to Scanty’s feet. She turned back over to Kneesocks. “Kneesocks, darling, would you mind watching over our soon-to-be minion and make sure that he’s… comfortable?” She said with a villainous smile. “It would be my honor, sister.” Kneesocks said, returning the smile. Scanty and Fastener made their way out of the basement. The demon gave the prisoner a demonic smile. “And as for you… Don’t feel too bad about this. With you being under our control first, you won’t have to suffer from seeing your little friends experience the same fate~!” She exits, leaving Rock frightened at what will happen to him in the future. He looked at Kneesocks, who looked at him back with an indifferent expression. “...Am I gonna die by the end of this?” “...That outcome is estimated to be unlikely..”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hurry up, ‘Rina! We don’t know what progress those demon skanks are making, and we’re just getting started with assembling our team!” Back in the city of Townsville, Off The Hook, the Anarchy Sisters and the Powerpuff Girls were in the middle of figuring out where to go next to recruit people in their little resistance team, and Pearl was eagerly waiting for Marina to discover possible sites. “Hang tight, Pearl. I think I almost got something…” Marina typed away on her laptop, searching for the next destination.
Blossom cautiously watched the idols, still processing the events of today. “I still can’t believe this… The concept of the multiverse IS real after all!” She was confused, but still couldn’t help but smile at the thought. “Yeah! And with brand new worlds, comes brand new ugly bad guys for me to punch!” Buttercup exclaimed, fantasizing on all the evil she’ll vanquish in different worlds. “And maybe we can also meet some new friends!” Bubbles said happily. “We already have the cephalopod girls and the angel ladies!” She turned to the ‘angel ladies’ in question. “This is gonna be really fun, right?”
Panty was busy putting on makeup, and Stocking was toying around with her plush cat, both sisters not seeming to care one bit about any of the current events. “Tch. This is more of a big waste of valuable time than fun,” Panty replied while putting on eyeshadow. “Those Daemon Sisters have always been a piece of work, and it's always me and Panty who have to clean up their messes and deal with their bullshit,” Stocking stated, pulling on the plush toy’s tongue. “We’re only with you guys because you’d be doomed without us helping you.” “Well, you wouldn’t even BE here with us if you hadn’t tried to turn me and Eight into roadkill with your dumb car!” Pearl snapped to the angels, turning from Marina’s laptop to glare at them. She then began to realize something… “Wait.. Where IS Eight?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at Inkopolis Square sat Eight outside of Off The Hook’s empty studio. They wondered when they’ll return from one of the most complicated and weird expeditions they’ve seen so far…Not that they remember any other ones besides the NILS Statue incident. The line was drawn because of those crude ‘angels’ joining them in the first place. Apparently, they were a bit too inappropriate for Eight’s standards.
Suddenly, they saw a brief glow from a nearby sewer grate in the corner of their eye. Curiosity getting the better of them, Eight sat up from their spot and began to carefully creep to where the glow was coming from. The color was like an ominous rainbow with dimmed out colors, possibly from when all the inklings and octolings in the square teamed up to destroy the ink ghost that those two demon women summoned. It also might be possible that the glow was from the remains of said ghost, not being defeated just yet as opposed from what was originally thought.
Before Eight could get any closer to the grate, it began to spew rainbow-ish ink, covering the surrounding surface. The octoling let out a small grumble of confusion as they stepped back from the sludge, in an attempt to maintain the limited safety they had in the situation. The ink seemed like it could spill out for ages, but just then, it slowly started to form into a large creature resembling the same ghost that was ‘defeated’. While still being built from more of the monstrous ink, it loomed over the octoling.
Eight could only look in shock at the sight. They were unarmed, and nobody was really around to witness the spectacle. The only thing that they could do was stare back at the monster, anxiously waiting for its next move…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“... Eh. I’m sure that wherever they are, they’re all good!” Pearl shook off her wonders and turned her attention back to Panty and Stocking. “Anyway, what were you two possibly doing to help us? All you did was sit back and be slutty and fat respectively!” She exclaimed to the angels in an irritated manner. Panty returned the look of anger to the inkling. “We’ve done loads of shit to help you and your bitch out! We got y’all used to those red hoes and even sat around when you wrangled up those pint-sized flying brats!” She yelled. Stocking added on to Panty’s rant. “Speaking of those whores, we can drop by Hell right now and kick their asses before they can even do anything!” … Pearl fell over on the ground and laughed hysterically at both of their claims. Marina watched her girlfriend laugh and even giggled a bit at the claims. “Well it IS a bit laughable…”
Panty seethed at Pearl’s laughter. “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LAUGHING AT, YOU DUMB BITCH!? WE’RE BEING SERIOUS WITH THIS SHIT, Y’KNOW!” She screamed, yanking Pearl from the ground, holding her by her collar. The latter wiped tears pricking from her eyes while she laughed. “I’m sorry… But what you two just said was the funniest crap I’ve ever heard!” Stocking grabbed Pearl next, being just as irritated by her laughter as her older sister. “Stop laughing, shit stain! Just give us one of those portal things and we’ll come back with two demon heads on a platter!” She yelled out. Pearl continued to laugh. “Oh my cod, you two are actually SERIOUS!!” She reached out for the bag of portal marbles. Blossom flew to her hand and placed one in it. “You forgot that I was the one with them…” She stated.
Pearl shoved the marble into Panty’s hand. “Go ahead and knock yourselves out. But, those demons are better than you in every way possible! I doubt that you’d have any chance of stopping them!” She mocked the angels. Panty retaliated, “Oh, you don’t know half the shit we do, tiny. We’re gonna beat those asswipes to the ground, and then we’re gonna laugh in your face about how wrong you were!” She threw the marble to the ground, opening a portal. She turned around and smirked at Pearl again saying, “Besides, even if you were in our place, you could never do better~!” With that, Panty and Stocking entered the portal as it closed behind them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kneesocks carefully watched Rock as he was chained to the wall, still with no possible chance of escape. She stared with a stern and focused expression, and to Rock himself, she was a more disturbing guard than Fastener. “You’re much quieter than you were with Fastener. The unsettling truth about your future might be sinking in now,” She blatantly stated. Rock stared at her with an expression of disturbance and confusion. “That, and because you’re scaring me,” He answered back with slight hesitation.
…….
After a very, very long period of silence, broken occasionally by Scanty and Fastener tinkering with their machine upstairs, Kneesocks finally spoke up again, “...So, tell me.. What were you and the other warriors doing while trying to hide your abilities from your world’s surface?” The demon’s question caused Rock’s emotions to shift from frightened to annoyed. “Listen, up until the last day and 12 hours, I knew absolutely NOTHING about having multiple ancestors that carried a legacy for centuries. I know it’s the sole reason why you kidnapped me and my friends in the first place, but I can’t tell you more beyond that,” He answered. “Now, how about I ask you a question that I can get a proper answer to,” He snarked a little, his annoyance now turning into slight skepticism. “...Why do you guys even WANT to take over the multiverse?”
Kneesocks expression changed into a more serious one, if that was even possible. “...You wish to know why my dear sister and I are pursuing such a clever scheme as this one?” She asked. Rock looked around a bit before shifting his gaze back onto Kneesocks as he answered her. “Yeah…” He glared at her a little, concern and hopefulness in his eyes. “Just, think about it. By going along with this plan, you’re stripping so many innocent people from their freedom! Their own right to live! Doesn’t that sound a little… wrong, even for demons?” Kneesocks glared at him more sternly. “Such a fool you are. What you and others call freedom is perverse, unruly anarchy! So many pathetic specimens like you are taking that freedom for granted and using it to pursue unholy desires. Scanty and I saw this, and came to the conclusion that in order to keep the multiverse in balance and bring it to the proper standards it should be, we must rule it!” She stated sternly, her tone of voice rising with every word that escaped her mouth.
She continued, beginning to keep a distance from Rock, sporting a passionate grin as she became more exaggerated with her movements as she described how she’ll improve the multiverse, “Giving inhabitants a new sense of respect and value through rules! Taking them into our control will teach them about conventional responsibility! As leaders, our influence and power will bestow a new sense of self-worth upon them!” Rock’s expression changed to one of slight amusement at how Kneesocks continues to ramble on. “You’re really passionate about this, aren’t you?” He asked, interested about her idea of improving the multiverse. Kneesocks gave him another glare, but it didn’t really bother him as much this time. “Of course I am! My dear older sister and I have been working persistently on this plot, perfecting its execution! We’ve come too far for it to be prevented, especially by pathetic scoundrels like yourself,” She ridiculed.
…………
“Wait… I get it now!” Rock exclaimed in enthusiasm and understanding. He had registered the motives of Scanty and Kneesocks, but viewed them in a more positive, less sinister light. “You guys are only doing this so you can HELP everyone!” His smile faltered slightly. “But… You’re going the wrong way about it.” Kneesocks turned to the rock in extreme appallment. “WHAT!? How can we possibly be in the wrong!? We’re creating a new way of life for this multiversal occupancy, and it proves to be the sole correct way of controlling it!” She exclaimed. “Well… The appreciable aspect of this is that your goal is to improve the multiverse as a whole. But, don’t you think that there can be a less… villainous way of doing it?” Rock retorted.
Kneesocks let out a long sigh of annoyance. She turned her back to him, adjusted her glasses yet again and spoke, “This plan shouldn’t even concern you. You’re imprisoned in this basement until we fully get you onto our side. You should be in the middle of begging for mercy from me, even though you won’t get any.” Rock smiled a little more. “Sorry, but… right now, hearing your reasoning for going through with all of this, you seem a little less scary!” He commented, looking just a little more hopeful at his situation. His optimism only filled the demon with more rage. She gave him a more stern glare, having a sense of tranquil rage at the moment. “...You’re as idiotic as you are pathetic,” She huffed. Kneesocks fully turned her back to Rock, creating another short period of silence between them.
“Y’know, Kneesocks, I really do appreciate all the thinking you put into this, too!” Rock chirped, still having much more to say. “ Again, I know you and Scanty are evil demons who wanna take over the world, but this is planned out so interestingly to the point where it’s admirable! ..If it makes you feel a bit better, I’m still pretty scared about what you’re trying to do to me, but I’m sure my friends will find a way to rescue me soon enough…” He continued to drone on. He was clearly trying to have a light-hearted conversation with Kneesocks, but it was all to her great annoyance. She appreciated the praise for the most part, but he’s being held prisoner! He shouldn’t be THIS happy in a situation like this! She continued to have her back towards him, trying to ignore every single word that came from his mouth… but her patience was wearing EXTREMELY thin…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hell is a disastrous place to be in. A perfect punishment for all of those who have sinned against the holy father and their fellow man. It was dusty, dark, infested with treacherous parasites and has any crime you can think of done by almost all of its inhabitants. “Sweet fuckin’ Jesus, Mary and Joseph, this is what hell actually looks like!?” Panty exclaimed with utter disgust. “So many homeless people and pedophiles… I’d kill myself if God kicked us to HERE when he kicked us out of Heaven!” Stocking muttered in terror. The Anarchy Sisters walked on the streets of the underworld, stepping over, or even stepping on any sinner they come across. Panty growled in frustration. She was way too focused on proving Pearl wrong and stopping the Daemon Sisters before they did anything destructive. “Where the fuck are these bitches hiding, anyway!? The sooner we kill them, the sooner we can rub it in the midget-gangster’s face,” She exclaimed.
As the angels trudged on trying to find the whereabouts of the demons, they’ve gotten various skeptical stares from multiple sinners. “Who the fuck are those sluts?” “They can’t be real angels, right?” “Well, they don’t look like sinners.” “Those bitches look hot as shit~..” Sinner demons whispered in shock and awe at the appearance of angels, angels who are much different from the ones usually seen from the annual exterminations. Panty, still disgusted by the sight of Hell, then gets an idea about how she and her sister could maybe enjoy themselves here. “Hey, Stocking…” She tried to grab the younger angel’s attention as she removed her panties, transforming them into her gun. “You wanna double kill these pedo freaks with me?” She asked with a vicious smirk on her face. Stocking had already transformed her stockings into her katanas, stabbing a nearby sinner demon with them with a calm, yet mischievous expression. “Way ahead of you, Panty.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kneesocks felt as if she was on the brink of insanity. She had spent the last 30 minutes listening to that small boulder’s incoherent ramblings of positivity and hopefulness. Worst of all, he was doing it in an attempt to connect with her as if she had the potential to be his friend. He was so understanding… so encouraging… so friendly… all the things she thought she didn’t deserve from any mortal.
Kneesocks’ back was still turned to Rock, but he was still able to catch a glimpse of her irritation. “Hey.. Are you doing okay?” He asked, dropping his previous topics entirely in favor of her well-being and wanting to know how to improve it. Kneesocks has had it. Something about his seemingly unconditional kindness and reassurance made her tremendously, unfathomably enraged. She was almost sure he was deceiving her with niceties in order to escape. Even if he wasn’t, Kneesocks didn’t deserve any kindness at all. Everyone she ever knew excluding her sister all turned out to be untrusting and deceitful. Maybe it was because she was a high ranked demon, and because of her status, everyone expects her to be plain snooty and rude… which was a bit of the truth sometimes. Or maybe it was because she was undeserving of a proper ally period. Who in their right mind would have the audacity to be kind to her?!
Kneesocks slowly rotated to face Rock, looking at him with a stern and angered expression. “Do you think this is amusing?” Rock was startled to see the irritation in the demon thoroughly appear in front of him. He hesitated to respond to her query, but still said, “Huh? What are you talking abou‒” Before finishing his sentence, Kneesocks viciously cut him off. “You know EXACTLY what I’m talking about!” She stomped her foot. “Don’t think I can’t see through your foolish games!” The demon marched closer to him with the same infuriated expression on her face. “This… This unnecessary kindness! I am the one antagonizing you and all of your allies, and yet, you BOTHER to show me the simplest of humanity!” Becoming more and more doubtful of his next choice of words, Rock still tried to calm Kneesocks down by at least trying to explain why he wanted to be nice to her. “W-well, I was only trying to liven things up a bit between us..!” He cautiously responded. “You actually have decent motives behind your plan, and you look like a pretty nice person, too! I don’t think I have a proper reason to-” “NO PROPER REASON!?” Kneesocks furiously cut him off once again.
The demon stepped towards the rock until their faces were inches apart. “I am a DEMON. Absolutely NOBODY has the right to show me kindness of any shape or form. I am supposed to be ruthless, cruel, and unexplainably EVIL.” She pulled her face away from his, still keeping her focus on him. “Even if I wasn’t any of those things, I’d still be undeserving of affection. I’ve made far too many mistakes in my life to deserve it.. Besides, everyone in this realm knows what to expect from me.. And so I must provide them with it. ”
………
Rock went from finding Kneesocks’ words to be disturbing and fearful, to absolutely heartbreaking in a matter of seconds, and even when she was still talking. She believed that she didn’t deserve to be treated as a person no matter the case. She believed that no matter what she did, nobody would think that she’s making an actual effort to change. All of those conclusions and more ran through his head. And each one was more depressing than the last. As Kneesocks turned away from Rock and began to slowly walk away from him after some time, he spoke to her. “...Do you want to be what everyone expects you to be?” He quietly asked. Kneesocks stopped in her tracks once she processed Rock’s question. Did she want to be as cruel as she was today? Did she want to take part in the activities she did in the past? Absolutely not. But, as much as she objected to her own actions, she always told herself that this is the way things should be for her. This is what everyone around her expects her to do.
“...Not quite,” She eventually responded in reluctance. She took a deep breath before continuing. “I never really desired to be the way I am. But, if only you knew the terrible things I’ve done in my past… All of those terrible, unforgivable things… Then you’d understand.” A tired expression fell onto her face. “I… I am evil. And that’s all I’ll ever be able to be.”
Another long, painful and heartbreaking period of silence came by. Rock couldn't help but be empathetic towards the demon, looking up at her in pure, unconditional concern. He finally spoke, “You can change, Kneesocks.” Kneesocks’ ear twitched after he had spoken. A mortal thinks that she’s capable of change? A mortal? She said nothing, and continued to listen to what else he had to say. “You… It’s completely possible for someone like you to change, no matter how many mistakes you’ve made in your past,” Rock said with a reassuring smile. “You just have to look past what others expect you to do.. And focus more on what YOU want yourself to do, and how you see YOURSELF.”
…….
After some time, Kneesocks picked up a set of keys lying on a nearby table. She made her way to Rock and with the keys, unlocked the shackles on his arms, even helping him back onto the ground. Rock looked up at Kneesocks in shock and confusion, while Kneesocks didn’t make eye contact with him at all, having an expression of guilt. “...Your motives… are confusing. They’re unusual… But also welcoming….” She paused to take a deep breath. “...I never thought I’d need to experience something like this in the current chapter of my life.” Before Rock could say anything else in the matter, Kneesocks summoned the same elevator that brought him and his friends down to Hell in the first place with a mere snap of her fingers. The demon solemnly hung her head down. “For clarity, I still insist on going by with Scanty and I’s previous plan…. But rest assured, I deeply respect your words to me, and your overall modesty. If you still truly believe that this plot will cause suffering, I’ll try my best to spare you from it.” The kinder, more humane Kneesocks had resurfaced after so long ago. Having made cruel mistakes that were dismissed as evil acts buried that aspect of her, and replaced it with one of pure hatred and malice. It was amazing what one mortal could do. Well, this mortal was technically more than a mortal, but still.
Rock scanned the elevator. He’s being given a free chance of escaping this madness! With all that’s happened to him so far, why wouldn’t he. But on the other hand, there was Kneesocks. As evil as she was, she still had a hidden soft side to her, and it was obscured due to how she was seen by society. She can defy the expectations of others if she really wanted to. She could try to establish a healthy relationship outside of her sister. And he wanted to help her do that. “Thank you… But, maybe I don’t have to leave now,” He chimed, a smile reappearing on his face. “...Why!? You have a perfectly exceptional chance of escape!” Kneesocks exclaimed in bafflement. “You have a chance of briefly evading this nonsense of ours, and you simply deny it? Why!?”
“Listen, I know you’re meaning well with like… All of this, really! But, after hearing what you're going through, it doesn’t really feel right to just leave you alone…” Rock explained, his smile losing its prominence for a brief moment. However, it was restored after a few seconds. “So, maybe it would be nice to… Get to know you more?” The demon’s eyes widened at his words. He couldn’t possibly mean what she thought he meant… “Like… A friend?” Rock’s eyes widened slightly in delight. He said, “..Yeah! Like a friend!” Kneesocks stared at him in silent bewilderment, anger, and delight. This little rock is too kind for his own safety. He’s ignorant enough to try and establish a friendship with a demon, one who had done very heinous things at that. With that being said, a part of Kneesocks desperately wanted a friend to call her own. Even during her youth she struggled to connect with the younger demons. And maybe… just maybe… the kindness this object was expressing to her might be what she needs. She finally replied, “I suppose.”

Alina’s relationship with her powers, pt. 3
Chapter 7
Now I'm wondering how much worse is Alina's loss since she had two amplifiers making her connection to her powers stronger. She wasn't robbed only of what made her herself, but another two pieces that became a part of her just as much.
Chapter 8

Shouldn't that be THE purpose of training?
Since the powers themselves are literally a part of every Grisha, yet amplifier is optional?
Just saying...
Alina draws comfort from her powers during her volcra-slaughter breakdown.
Chapter 10
She uses her powers as an excuse not to cross the Fold too many times, but she also admits they're truly in excellent condition. Her description of them overflowing with love and affection.
Alina feels sun on her skin and immediately reaches to touch the scales. They're all one now.
Sun-her Light-the amplifiers-comfort
Chapter 11

... and yet a few chapters earlier you were so happy never to use them again.
*fumes silently*
Chapter 13
Alina's extempore performance upon arrival to Little Palace. or What happens when you overpower unstable insecure girl with frail grip on self-control
Chapter 19
Geez, Alina! Just get yourself a nice bracer, and look for other ways to develop your powers, than "honing the Cut".
I think even if there IS a draw between the amplifiers, this is purely mental issue. Alina hit a dead end in all her efforts, she has no one to turn to for help, so she focuses on that one thing, that would surely change everything. Getting more power became her universal solution, succumbing to pre-existing connection partly absolves her of blame for possible consequences. Sure, it's still "greed", but she's just a weak girl way in over her head, how is she to resist?
Chapter 20
Malyen's famous poster abuser boyfriend moment and Alina's words- simple and clear. She'd NEVER give up her powers. At least that's her "selfish" independent self talking.
Chapter 23
As long as you don't say it out loud, it's not real.
pt. 1, pt. 2, pt. 4, pt. 5, pt. 6
