Psychic Necromancy
A personality cult of psychics attempt to resurrect their dearly departed leader in a process they call 'Psychic Necromancy'. They are attempting to form a thought-construct of suitable complexity using the memories they each have of their dear leader. They will then put this construct inside of a suitable "spare" body, thereby bringing their leader close enough back to life.
The problem they discover, and have to admit to themselves, is that their memories of this person are a bit one-sided and the resulting constructs are tragically unstable. The cult will have to seek out their dear leader's enemies and victims and plumb their brains for their memories of this person, thereby creating a more complete picture.

Au where the chapter 6 motive is hanahaki disease but monotora fucked up the laws of hanahaki. And now hayasaka and latte are coughing up flowers for dead people
I remember seeing you talk about this on the discord a while back and it was like a try not to cry challenge in real time /j
I went to do a little research on the hanahaki disease and I found that it doesn’t have to be a specific flower. So I decided to find what type of flower the two would be diseased with.
Latte -> carnations, specifically white. Since they symbolise purity and good luck, it’s a reminder of Latte’s pure and happy relationship with Mai, and the good virtue Mai gave Latte before her death.
This may underline a hopeful idea that she can overcome the disease, however as she does not want to forget Mai, it only gets worse.
Hayasaka -> roses, either red or crimson red. Red roses are a common symbol of love, so he won’t be able to turn a blind eye to his feelings towards Kurumada, something he had often struggled with. It also heavily reflects on his verbal confession in the trial.
Crimson red on the other hand represents mourning, something that will co-exist within Hayasaka for the foreseeable future. I’d imagine seeing such a thing every day would only wear him down further.
I also read that sometimes surgery to remove the flowers is possible, at the cost of removing all feelings (and/or memories) of the person they love. So, if Nesos gave them the option of getting rid of the disease with that clause in mind, I wonder if either of the two would give in.
The more I think about it, however, the less I’d see them ever consider it.

What Kind Of "Hot" Are You?
drunk girl in the bathroom hot
you're both wasted, she just somehow does it so much better. you're crying, about something your stupid ex did or said. and suddenly she appears, looking like an angel aside from the slight sway in her step. she's helping you our of your slump on the floor when you grow pale and catastrophy strikes. you're the most disgusting you've ever been, and still, this stranger holds your hair and rubs soothing circles in your back. gives you a breath mint and sits you back against the wall, asking what happened. you tell her, and her glittery, perfectly made face turns sour. with her heels in hand, she loops your arm around her shoulders so she can help you walk to an uber she called for you. your ex says something snarky to you in passing on the way out, and for her it's the final straw. she whirls around, fire in her eyes and a set in her brow and she slaps him hard across the face. calls him a jerk or a dick or something like that, you can't remember, you were busy smiling at the stunned look on his face as she drags you both outside. before you get home, she gives you a hug and kind words in a bubbling voice and you're thankful for her. thankful there are people out there who look out for people like you, who stand up for people even when they might have trouble standing themselves.

Tell me more about Orions life immediately please
HELP i just saw this after dadposting don't enable me glass (/J PLEASE ENABLE ME GOD I LOVE MY SILLIES)
A LOT OF IT IS IN THE WORKS UNFORTUNATELY (@authorswife and @fuckyouimcrustyheathen is helping me out with a small chunk of it!!!) BUT THE NOTES I CAN SHARE AS OF RN
orion has three (3) dads!!! they're related to 2 of them, and one is step :]
they didn't get to know one of their biological dads since he left before they were born (from what i know) but they're super close to the other, victor ravenswood!! (owned by pumpkin/mika) their step dad however,,, they're on thin ice about. he's not a bad guy, orion's just suspicious and they don't want their dad getting hurt again (dw they eventually warm up to him)
YES THEY HAVE ABANDONMENT ISSUES (ie being a clingy MOTHERFUCKER)
they don't have any siblings (may change?) but they do have a childhood friend !!
sudden lore drop ORION IS NOT FULLY HUMAN. they do not know this. quite literally nobody knows this except for their dad because it does not show up in them in a very noticeable way (it acts more like a bodily disorder, being immunocompromised, prone to bleeding and bruising and overall injury and a bunch of other stuff they kind of just pass off as shitty genes).
they were a sweet kid in elementary/pre-k and then this motherfucker hit middle school and quickly got mixed up in the wrong crowd. started out with staying past curfew, "minor" drugs, stuff like that before it turned into almost never staying at home and constantly being surrounded by shitty people and doing shitty things (i am not going to go into detail for reasons!!)
obviously they got away from this but not without a big smack in the face (metaphorically, kind of) ie the whole gun thing and other traumatic experiences throughout that time. they prefer not to look back at those days due to them and a lot of guilt surrounding their own actions and definitely how they hurt people around them
with a lot of emotional and physical help from peers and family they did get to heal and eventually got to go back into schooling :]
theyre super into forensics!!! but ended up choosing the nursing path instead,, which is still dope as hell
they didn't really know about the whole inhuman/altrs/etc shit until they started seeing more stuff to do with them and some encounters themselves, and probably ends up getting their job at IRIS with some help from their dad due to his line of work
orion also gets a lot of their fashion sense from their dad which i think is very dope
however!! they didn't end up getting top surgery until a year or two after they started working for IRIS, kind of just disappearing off the face of the earth for the time they had to take to heal up.
also they hate dogs /hj theyre kind of scared of them (they make exceptions i promise)
they are not medicated but definitely need to be
I THINK THATS ALL I GOT FOR RN RAHJSDGHRKJDGRD i love my silly doctor tysm glass ilysm

「 Alright. After doing a fair bit of research into the CN line (which was pretty tough given that I do not speak or know chinese, so I have to rely on comparing references and asking third parties), I’ve concluded on not necessarily discarding the canon, but rather bending a bit the meaning into something a tad bit more logical, subject to tweaking depending on the official translation choices. Leaks talk under read more. 」
关于「少女」
… 愚人众执行官的席位是按照实力划分的,我不明白那个女孩为什么是「第三席」。��机会的话,我是想和排在我之前的执行官都比试一遍啦,但总有种不太想和她交手的感觉…不管怎么说,你也小心一点
The original text in CN for the line about Damselette. It alludes to the Harbingers being ranked by “实力”, which can indeed be translated to power, strength or abilities/capabilities. Reading through many translations of the concept itself though, people mention that the closest and most accurate way to translate it is “capabilities”.
The concept of a ranking through “capabilities” is still incredibly vague and subjective for me to grasp something more concrete, so the way I do intend to interpret this translation is that the ranking works through “experience”.
It doesn’t stray too far from the original concept I worked with, which was “ranked by joining order”, but does add a layer to differentiate the Harbingers beyond just their respective abilities and contribution to the high ranks. Since Childe does bring up that he’s in a lower rank than the others, it’s clear that his authority is a little more restrained due to his position as a newbie, so I’m willing to bend to this because it does make sense that a recently promoted captain will have less privileges than the other ones, regardless of his battle prowess and just general strength.
I do still believe he is stronger than a pair of the other Harbingers, though. And I still believe he’s one of the most dangerous within the ranks, specialized in the frontlines and surpassing several in the area of combat. What he does not have is a higher authority than the others, which would explain why they manage to send him away so often.
So basically, the change I’m doing within my own headcanons with the interpretation of this new information is:
They share the same level of authority, only differentiated by areas of work > Each number represents a ranking of authority based on experience and time on-duty, in which everyone listens to Pierro’s orders.
If anyone with a better grasp at chinese can confirm that this intepretation is viable, I’d appreciate your approval or correction though jhbJHBDF this is still subject to tweaking

thinking more about roman time loop fic concepts... like i love the idea of him trapped in a loop trying to save himself and/or neo, but i also love the idea of him being forced to save the main rwby cast as they die repeatedly (no thanks to him), because he doesn’t control the loop and otherwise he’ll be stuck in it forever.
so he’s just reluctantly trying to play the good guy and hating every second of it. no-one trusts him, obviously. and maybe over time he actually starts to get attached to the people he’s trying to save, but while he remembers everything, they don’t, so he’ll always be an enemy to them...
