"Do your best today! I'll be waiting here when you get home, starlight~💕"

had two busy days of work outside of my cave and the only thing that kept me going was the sight of my housewife/househusband Eclipse waiting for me at home

that is, the sketch of him waiting for me to finish drawing him 😂

I just realized who your owl lady reminded me of! That witch from The Last Unicorn!

Almost a spitting image. I can't add an image to show you here, but I was wondering how your character were inspired? Not just the owl lady.

Like, did you have animals you wanted as characters, or mutant variations you wanted to see in the show?

i mean, they're directly ripped from the last unicorn. so, yeah! (owl??? i dont think you've seen an owl before) anyway

i only design the human characters and unimportant background mutants. All yokai are ripped from pre-existing stories that involve transformation or from japanese yokai, duende, cryptids, fey folk, and various other mythological creatures.

all important ocs are co-authors and i have no idea how they decide what mutation type their characters are. I just steal them. go ask them this if you want a real answer.

(there are also characters from goosey and wren later in the story from when we asked people if they wanted to design background characters for residuum)

Danyal Al Ghul's missed potential - this kid is not gonna behave like his canon self if he's with the league of assassins until his late formative years, and my reasoning why

(feel free to take this all with a grain of salt this is just my thoughts on it, this is all mostly amusing to me and isn't trying to be negative towards anyone else)

similar to how i was talking about how danny growing up in crime alley would affect him, demon twin aus with danyal al ghul make me laugh a lot (affectionate) because... whose teaching danny to unlearn all the ecofascism he picked up from the league of assassins? whose teaching him to be kind? to be gentle? Not the LoA thats for certain.

(you could plausibly say Jazz but she's only 2 years older than Danny and do you really expect a fellow child to properly explain why X is wrong to another child and have it be 100% effective? i don't doubt it'd help to an extent, but not in the same way an adult explaining it would)

plus a ton of other things, like whose teaching him to value human life? not the LoA. Whose teaching him how to adjust to living with American society after he ends up with the Fentons when he's 8-9-10? Who teaches him that killing is wrong, whose enforcing that?

(not the Fentons if you're going the neglectful parent route, and Jazz can try but i really don't think Danny is going to listen to her, a stranger who isn't even part of his grandfather's league)

How do you teach a child to value human life when the greatest development window for that opportunity has closed and he's already formed his own opinions?

You're not gonna get a Danny whose exactly like his canon attitude if he's staying with the league during his formative years (0-8 years old). you're not. You could get someone LIKE it, potentially, or someone who has traces of it or is similar -- like danny's wit and jokes and sarcasm, and on some level his kindness. but you're not gonna have a carbon copy. Development doesn't work that way. "nature" can only do so much in the face of nurture.

If anything, it doesn't even have to be a major change -- in the league he cans till be kind, but it's probably going to manifest in a different way than what is considered normal. Tough love, for one. But there's gonna be something that affects him negatively. Why make him 'always good/kind' when you can make him a brat who develops into a kinder (if spikier than in canon) person?

TLDR: Danyal Al Ghul would not be like how he is in canon if he's with the league until his late formative years -- not without any lasting pr permanent impacts from the league at least. Missed potential to make him an absolute nightmare like damian was -- especially in his early years when he first arrived to the Fenton house.

(this doesn't apply to danyal al ghul aus where he's either given to the fentons as a baby/is reincarnated/etc. this is mostly aimed for danyal al ghul aus where he fakes his death at like, 7-10 and somehow ends up, personality-wise like his completely canon self by 14 without any differences.)

(and even then if he's five or four, or even three, he would still be traumatized and influenced by the league. he'll just have more time to adjust. the sooner he leaves the league the more likely he is to be like his canon self, but not like an exact copy)

(more under the cut)

Anyways what I'm saying is that there is prime missed Danyal al Ghul potential to make him an absolute NIGHTMARE to the Fentons however way he ends up with them, just like Damian was with the Waynes! Cuz why does Damian get all the fun? Danny got the same training and endoctrine as him! He is also an ex-assassin! Why is Danny the only one who is 'well adjusted and non-violent' hm? Hmm?

Why can't he also be mean, and stabby, and a total stuck-up in some way or another? Have fun with his characterization, its prime opportunity to play play-doh and clay with him! If he starts out as X how does he get the personality traits of Y, and thus become XY?

Like take this with a grain of salt if you will, but make him arrogant. Make him an asshole! Make him a bad person at first! Because he will be! He's the blood son of the batman and you mean to tell me that damian is the only one arrogant about it at first? Make him stabby and mean even at 14 when he's begun to chill out! Have fun with it! If he's with the Fentons at any point past the age of four or five then he's gonna be a nightmare to handle because he still remembers the league and his time there.

(and while it gives him more time to chill the hell out, his time at the league is still gonna leave an impact on him.)

also what im saying as well is have him and sam potentially get along like a house on FIRE. Again, Danny grew up under the views of an ecofascist cult and nobody to challenge those views to him until he got to amity park at whatever age in late formative years he was at. He could be about as intense or even MORE intense about environmental awareness/rights than Sam is!

(also him being supremely unimpressed with Sam's wealth. he gave up a palace in the mountains for this town. because that's funny to me - like let his past have more influence on him! it'll be fun!)

you could have a danny who doesn't kill but doesn't fully understand the value of human life because jazz is like two years older than him and isn't that good at explaining why people's lives are important. he won't kill but he's not morally opposed to it. there's very little chance he actually gets bullied at school because he nearly killed Dash the first time he tried anything.

Danny could have scars, physical ones, because its implied in multiple canon that training starts at toddling (my best bet is 3 at minimum and ~maybe~ 2 but only on the later side of 2. Good fucking luck getting any infant under 2 to do anything you ask, ESPECIALLY assassin training. They're gonna stick the weapon in their mouth sooner than they're gonna do katas. This is coming from a daycare teacher.)

there's more examples of how danny being at the league during his formative years would affect him, but those are just some of them. he could have a sword! An appreciation for weaponry and nature. Maybe he still speaks all shakespearan and formal, does he still make bodily threats to people? If Damian is still threatening people at 14 why can't danny?

Nettles as the Cannibal's rider.

This is a sentiment I keep seeing a lot, and while I won't speak on the leaks more than I have, this idea is a bit interesting to me..

The Cannibal as a dragon is a wild dragon, meaning it has little hunan interaction and loves on its own. Its diet is both people and dragon eggs/hatchlings. It's meant to be a direct symbol of the carnivorous act of war among the Targaryens. It's one of the oldest draogns alive, one of the biggest as well. It marks the internal conflict of house Targaryens, nothing but a dragon can end itself so well. Its cave is littered with the bones of humans and hatchlings alike.

I'm a firm believer in dragons reflecting their riders. Nettles is one of the most obvious cases. She's a sheep stealing brown skinny girl on her sheepstealing brown skinny dragon. They're bond is also unique among any other riders we know.

It's more akin to the power and status a girl would gain from a marriage to a Targaryen. Power, protection, wealth, and honour. It's a blood sealed relationship similar to marriages in Westeros with the maidenhead idea as well as the blood drawn in Valyrian ceremonies.

So to change her narrative and giving her the Cannibal as her dragon does change the narrative of her character quite a bit.

If her dragon is the idea of Targaryen in fighting, she becomes the symbol of the war. A personification of the conflict. On one hand, because the Cannibal has his own plot with Sunfyre (rip my beloved grey ghost) and a symbolic departure after Corlys passes, Nettles can be kept in the narrative longer but she can also cause way more conflict. Like have her not being a dragonseed be an actual dividing line between people, have her be a conflict between Jace and Rhaenyra, Baela and Jace, Daemon and Rhaenyra and so on.

That dragon is chaos, let's see her devour the house from within.

Also, this adds to another point of how Nettles claims this dragon: Is she feeding kids or stealing eggs? Or is she waiting until after it eats other dragonseeds to get closer?

While I don't think it will happen, I do plan on watching the show before making any theories or coming to any conclusions on arcs for my favourite characters, it's an interesting idea.

Rhaena on Sheepstealer likewise causes a similar issue, but I'll wait for the show (maybe) to voice that thought.

Faith, Belief, Devotion, Love

Naofumi was everything L'Arc had imagined a God would be like. He was cruel, and mean, and he took no one's shit. He was a warrior, bringing forth the fires of an endless inferno and the tools of the underworld itself, and he's always ready to pick up the fight for those he deems his. He'd burn himself on his own fire if it meant he could take down his enemies with him.

But he's also kind, caring, and stands for what he believes in, and all of that softness is hidden behind dark armor and cursed shields. He's a healer and a craftsman, making viable potions and magical artifacts to gift to his people and fairly distribute to those in need. He'd burn himself on his own fire if it meant his people would stay warm.

L'Arc has seen the man fight for the lives of his people and his own like a wild beast. Like a creature cornered and defensive, ready to lash out and bite at anything it could until it had either won or died. He'd seen Naofumi fight not unlike the very monster falling from the sky, snarling and shouting wordlessly as he changed shields faster than should be useful.

But he'd also seen the man refuse to move when the children fell asleep against him, instead asking to be brought a book or checking through his unlocked shields, and staying there for hours until he too, fell asleep. He'd seen Naofumi stay up late at night brewing a surplus of potions, crafting new jewelry for Therese, or doing research on the Demi-humans under his lead, in case they had any needs neither he nor they knew about, orphaned as they were.

So, to L'Arc, Naofumi was everything he'd imagined a God to be like; cruel yet kind, caring yet thorned like a berry bush. So, L'Arc considered Naofumi the height of everything one could be, both good and bad, but quite often, most of the time honestly, the man was more in the large area in-between, gray and green and red altogether.

L'Arc won't diminish Naofumi's return of his feelings to something as variable as luck. No, Naofumi felt with all his heart, the organ now covered in open wounds that'd never close scars that'd never face, and yet a few places remained soft and untouched by the cruelties of existence. L'Arc was proud to consider himself worthy of Naofumi's trust, love, and affection. They'd spoken extensively about their feelings, neither wanting to ruin those one good thing they'd found between the chaos and death their worlds were stuck in, and yet Naofumi had never dismissed or turned down L'Arc's thoughts or feelings, even if they'd been overwhelming and endless.

Instead, the man had held L'Arc close, cradling his face in calloused hands, and told him "I love you.". He'd looked deep into L'Arc's heart through his eyes, expressive and vulnerable, and told him "I don't know how to react to this, honestly, but your feelings are your own, and I can only be happy that you feel so much for me." He'd hugged L'Arc and wiped his tears and said, "We're both just humans, L'Arc, but whatever we have between us, I believe it's so much more.".
