I like how Haku is the one to receive the most comments from you. 🤣🤣 He's kinda silly in his own way, huh?
Haku and the other high school prisoners:
Tumblr media
Ooh~! I can't wait to meet your prisoner 009! Anyone who is willing to befriend Akio is on another level™. I wonder how he'd get along with Ichiro as well. I'll be patiently awaiting his profile.
i actually didn't expect that myself, haku looks really cute, but he's not the type of character i usually would find the most interesting, haha. i just think it's hilarious how all the high school prisoners (and i have an elementary school oc as well) are so loud and dramatic (or in aimi's case, just.. way too friendly) meanwhile haku is just 😐😐
listen, seeing servant of evil as his cover just made me feel so nostalgic, okay? 😭 i'm not saying that at least two of my ocs would get akuno-p's songs as their covers if it wasn't for the spoilers about their crimes BUT and after reading his mv description and voiceline, i looked at his cover again and i was like "... okay, i can see how all these are connected"
prisoner 009 is, like, one of the craziest ones here along with shun and kei. honestly, his crime actually makes me go 😥😥 even though i can kinda understand his motives. his relationship with akio is so funny, because he really went "uhh you're cute so i want to be friends with you haha <3" yes, he was brave enough to say that to his face. he even flirted with one of the guards and convinced her to vote him innocent. he sure can mansplain and he sure can manipulate, but i wouldn't call him a malewife 😔 this makes him sound like a younger version of kei, but the thing is that kei lies about everything because he understands that what he's done (and still doing) is wrong no matter what he says meanwhile this guy really thinks that he's innocent because "that's what other people told him". really makes you think what kind of people he used to be friends with.

1st off I have to say I LoVe ❤️ @cubbihue itty bitties fairly odd parents Au as well as @jessadamsdraws the Deal fairly odd parents AU
That i wanted to add my fairly odd parents Fairy Oc to their au’s
But to do that I’m gonna have to explain about who my Fairy oc Felicity
Well she was a human child when British were sending Convicts to Australia between 1788-1868
She was a child excuse at stealing food and was given a choice of going to overcrowded prison or being sent to Australia 🇦🇺 at the time (she chose Australia)
She then got Jorgen’s Nana Boom boom as her godmother who was only one who seemed to care for her and support her creative talents so when she wished she was a real fairy and could live with Nana Boom boom and she was raised by nana boom boom to become the Fairy of the creative arts and records keeping (she gets to work with Father Time to make sure the records are up to snuff and no fake information is in them) but most fairies know her for helping to inspire humans & fairies alike in art and tend to forget she holds records for all their histories until fairy Timmy or Lawyer Timmy realises they need to look back on records of evens to help with keeping the Da Rules from having too many loopholes or where it could maybe need to change some rules to better help fairy world as a hold ( or to help beat the pixies & anti fairies from taking over fairy world)
She will be a little star struck when she 1st meets Timmy Cosmo Wanda and Peri because she has all the records of when they saved the universe and fairy world (also she hates Timmy’s parents; cocker and Vicky being as she has all the records of how they treated Timmy Wanda Cosmo and even peri and will be herd complaining how humans could ignore all that abuse they put a CHILD through is beyond her) she’ll also be Hazel’s fan because she saved Fairy World from anti fairies (she most likely ask for them to sign her autograph book) Jorgen will be confused on finding out he’s a little related to her through Nana Boom boom adoption of her back in 1788
She loves all animals but cats (big and small so going from your house cat to wild lions)
Watching history documentaries or cat ones
Art and craft shows
And anything that’s art related
She’s always got a paint brush and a pencil stuck in her very very curly hair with cat & flower shaped hair clips and her wand looks like a big pencil with a star ⭐️ on top of it
(Oh and she’s asexual)
If she’s In the Itty Bitties AU
I think she’s a pixie fairy but the only girl one being as in the original show all the pixies were all male or appear to be (didn’t see a single female one in that bunch at all) but being as so many see her as the Artist fairy not many realise she’s a pixie fairy at all so don’t bother to tell her she’s supposed to wear the grey uniforms but then when they realise she is one and has been keeping records for EVERYTHING in fairy world they do Attempt to get her to wear grey uniforms but realise the uniforms were not designed for a female pixie being as it would seem a vast majority of them are male so then give up trying to get her to wear the grey uniforms so then fairy Timmy by that gets to keep his pink outfit being as A) he’s a great worker on keeping the da rule up to date and B) being as he’s related to both Jorgen and like felicity was once human they just have to let it slide being as he was the only one who figure out Felicity was the only fairy who was keeping track of all of fairies records
In the Deal au Timmy has grown up to be a pretty good lawyer and when he has to save fairy world pixies trying to take over with anti fairies because Felicity’s anti fairy likes to keep track of what people did wrong so she can backstab people with that information or find loopholes to get anti fairies to get their way; So of course Timmy will ask for all of fairy world’s records so he can defend fairies against them at first most fairies don’t know who’s been keeping the records for them so hazel steps in and wishes for fairy who keeps track of all of fairy world’s records and Felicity appears has a bit of a excited to see lawyer Timmy rambling until her anti fairy starts pointing out all the bad things Timmy did and then of course She starts telling her anti fairy off and listings down all the good Timmy Turner did with Wanda Cosmo and peri while all the other fairies are gasping in surprise over finding out she’s not just the Arts fairy
And that’s just what I’ve gotten down so far and I really need to go to bed I’m work later

For anyone who likes a good alien romance with plot and smut👌👌 I
happily give some recommendations .
There's one which give me Miles Quaritch x reader/oc vibes 😏
Obviously if you love big blue aliens (Na'vi)
You gotta check out Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can also go on the tag #iceplanetbarbarians and you'll find memes and art. It's a big fandom for this series.
There's a spinofff series of this called CORSAIR Brothers
And the first book ADIRON
Has a hilarious hero who's goofy and a himbo. Personal favourite 👌
Next if you want aliens who are very Na'vi like in culture but also don't hesitate to use technology then this one is for you
The Ash Planet Warriors
It's a spin off of the series Garrison Earth.
There are three races here the Vetusian, Jal'zar i.e The Ash Planet Warriors and Humans. The humans and Jal'zar are invaded by the Vetusians.
My favourite book in the spin off is this
Tumblr media
Enemies to loves, political marriage. Here's a summary
I won’t touch her. But I will torment her soul. While the other warlords mate with the daughters of our enemy, I want nothing to do with these political marriages. Fate calls me north, searching for what the shamans say will complete my soul.
Now in the Garrison Earth series the last book is very interesting.
It's the Miles Quaritch x reader/oc fanfics but in a book 👇👀👀
Claimed
I conquered her planet and pillaged her body. Now I’m back for her heart.
A decade ago, I brought war to Solgad, home of the Jal’zar. I sacked the planet and slaughtered the people, all to save my race from extinction. Until one of their female warriors hissed defiance, promising me death at her hands no matter how her body longed for mine.
Each night, she came to end me, only to succumb to the raw urges of her mating heat.Each night, I gave her hungry womb what it needed, the way we coupled neither safe nor sane.
I was the enemy she couldn’t kill.She was the female I couldn’t have.
Together, we unleashed chaos.
Many solar cycles after the occupation, I return to Solgad, searching the ashen plains for her: my soulmate. This time, I will claim the Jal’zar female as mine, and nobody will get in the way.
Not even myself.
If you can, do read the entire series first if you want to know a little back story of the male character.
Now on to a villian from a different series
Zorus from Redeeming Zorus by Laurann Dohner.
Here's an enthusiastic comment about the character
Zorus, You Evil Bigot, M*ther F@cking, Sadistic Bastard!!! I have HATED You for SOOO LONG. Now I have to read your Love Story!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Anyway here's what's he's all about: Zorus is a member of the Ruling Council that governs cyborgs. His orders are law and must be obeyed. But Zorus is a sick bastard. He hates humans with a passion, and has been an evil terror to all cyborg males that have attempted to take a human female as a mate. He has gone as far as ordering them to be killed under the pretense that they were Earth Government spies searching for cyborgs.
But in a way his intense hate is justified. It's like if a Na'vi wanted to kill all the humans and Avatars (even the good ones), and all the hybrid children, because of what the RDA has done in Pandora.
Obviously this book is part of a series.
I'm sorry this spiralled into Alien villains but here's the last one
The Fractured Mate
Tumblr media
Comments on the book:
Halian was so damned evil in previous books, I couldn't possibly imagine how he could be redeemable. But DAMN if our author didn't come up with the absolute most genius, creative, plot twist of an explanation!
Again part of a series of many interesting alien characters. Best to read those so you get an idea of how bad Halian is.
Now three other good alien books (not a villain main character)
Heart's Prisoner by Olivia Riley
He's not like anything Lana has ever encountered.
Asset X: Massive, deadly, a little terrifying to say the least. A devilish warrior. And a killer. Captured on a hellish world after attacking a military campsite and now imprisoned in a state-of-the-art cell inside one of the military’s top bases--Lazris.
And Lana has been assigned to "study" him. To learn his secrets and gain his trust, if he is ever allowed to set foot out of his cell. As a top behaviorist, it is the biggest hurdle of her career.
Very alien looking hero and mostly from the FMC point of view so there's a whole lot of mystery around him and what he's thinking. When we talking alien this dude is very alien. Also, it's a slow burn. Definitely no attraction at first sight. Actually we're all terrified 😂
Next is Classified Planet: Turongal of The Darvel Exploratory Systems
Tumblr media
Cottonwood by R.Lee. Smith
Tumblr media
Have you seen District 9? If you haven't please do..one of the best Sci fi alien movies out there. Anyway this book has the same kind of aliens. And a sort of similar plot. It feels like a fanfiction if that movie but it's different from the book too. All the characters are well written and brilliant plot. If 'Hearts Prisoner ' hero is a 7 on the "how alien does he look?" scale, the aliens in this book are a 9.
Argurma Salvager #1 Broken Earth
Tumblr media
☝️ Hero's features inspired by the Predator in Alien vs Predator movies.
Saving Askara #1 Saving Askara
Tumblr media
This has :
First contact
Slow burn (almost all the books i mentioned are slow burn)
Learning the cultures (Ash Planet also is about learning a different culture.)
Anyway these are some of my favorites and the best sci-fi alien romance i love till date ❤️ obviously there'are many more that I've probably forgotten 😅

Breakdances AGAIN into your ask box
WHAT ABOUT YOUR OTHER OCS-
*falls through the floor into a hidden forest*
I'M GOOD-
Oh noooo please come backkkkkk!!!!
Yeah SOOOO UHHHH
Sorry u are getting a giant lore dump rn HAVEEE FUNNNN!!!
I don't wanna give away too much of my loreee soooo...
Ok so basically in Shining under the stage lights there's this circus right and the FORMER ringleader (Giovanni Valentino) was a bit of william afton right and he liked kidnapping kids yeah. So the CURRENT ringleader is this amazing kick-ass lady called Lucifer Valentino (My baby <333) and I Think she's amazing but APPARENTLY the authorities don't (She commits crimes) so they get this guy called Luke to sneak in and collect info so they can CHUCK my poor baby girl who has done NOTHING wrong in her life EVER-into jail. Ikr totally uncalled for. So this guy Luke he is MUCH more sensible then Luke Skywalker (STAR WARS CROSSOVER WHEN?!?!?!?) and he goes into this place with a open mind and a big heart ready to convict Lucifer for all her war crimes... And then. He meets this guy called Johnny. Now Johnny, my student, is a AWFUL HORRIBLE PERSON who SHOULD BE IN JAIL because he has committed the HENDIOUS crime of FALLING IN LOVE WITH LUCIFER. Now Lucifer is very true to her name, hence the crimes and why the government is after her. AND SHE HATES JOHNNY WITH A PASSION! (I cant blame her my bby had it right all along) So Johnny gets his arse beat. Yayyyyyyyy!!! Woooooo!!! big party!!!! So this COMPLETELY goes over Luke's little head and he sneaks inside the Circus. Forget what i said before about him being smart. He's not. ANYWAY, He gets to meet Lucifer's siblings. HOORAY!!! He meets Mirabelle first. Lucky him. Mirabelle is the sweetest most amazing little Angel ever. A complete opposite from Lucifer. Yeah, Lucifer is a nasty piece of work but THAT'S WHY WE LOVE HER!!! (Lucifer is my girllll <<<<3333) Anyway Mirabelle is the trapeze artist and the contortionist (MELANIE MARTINEZ REFENCE?!?!???!!???) and she has this weird thing where she breaks, like, 5 bones EVERYTIME she performs. She has a problem. Luckily due to plot reasons she heals quicker then a normal person (THERE'S SOME LORREEEE) and she is like always wearing bandages around her legs and arms. It doesn't seem to bother her because she is more concerned about the health of Lucifer's prisoners- I MEAN VOLUNTEARS YEAH VOLUNTEARS- and is overall a sweet person.
And then he meets her brothers Andres and Flare. Now my sister saw my concept art for Flare and called him a gay twink. The most accurate description of him ever. Flare is the fire bender/fire eater guy and he likes ARSON and burning stuff. go figure. He's also a albino fox spirit (Think male kitsune) and yes i will admit that he is based off Funtime Foxy from fnaf. Just ignore that fact. NO IT'S NOT COPYRIGHT IF I CHANGE THE NAME.
ANYWAY.
Now, Andres is a Ventriloquist. Yes, that's a thing. Search it up. So Andres has like a million puppets that pop up everywhere like annoying little whack-a-moles, and he can see out their eyes and hear through their ears and basically he's a creep but a very charming creep. (99% sure he's also gay but PLEASE do not ship Andres and Flare because they are brothers and that would be disgusting)
alright i'm done. how many words is this???
558!?!?!????!!!???!??!?!??? WHAT??!??!?! I'm actually amazing chat
Thanks for the ask!!!!!!!!!!!!1

"𝑑𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑡𝘩𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑤𝘩𝑎𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑠?"
Tumblr media
(layout by @/ameyumez!)
hi hi!! welcome to my milgram x reader blog!! ik milgram is probably not the best media for x reader content but eh i'm doing this for fun 👍
🧡 about me:
♡ lina
♡ 21 y/o
♡ demigirl + any pronouns
♡ my other fandoms are twisted wonderland, project sekai, vocaloid, honkai star rail, genshin impact, fragaria memories and many others
♡ my favorite characters are yuno, mahiru and amane + i also like haruka and muu
♡ i prefer to use lowercase letters most of the time because uh.. i hate capitalism
♡ i also have some other blogs you can check out below!
please read this before you request:
🧡 rules:
♡ because of the nature of the project, please remember that literally anything can easily get confirmed or turn out to be wrong, so i can't say that my writing will be 100% in character.
♡ please specify whether you want the reader to be the guard or the prisoner and their gender, otherwise i'll go with gn!reader.
♡ same goes for the setting, if your request doesn't mention it, please specify whether you want it to take place in a prison or a non-prison au/casual setting.
♡ my character limit is four characters per request, but i can write more when it comes to self-indulgent stuff or events (if there will be any djkdlssld).
♡ mentioning whether you want it to be the t1/t2 version of the prisoner would also help a lot!
♡ i'm a system myself, so i'll try my best to write mikosys as accurately as possible, but i'm a newly discovered system, so i can still make some mistakes.
♡ speaking of mikosys, if you're requesting something for them and your request doesn't mention it, please specify if you're asking for mikoto or john/orekoto.
♡ also, i prefer to see john as a part of mikoto, but also a separate character, so if you're requesting something for both mikoto and john, i will count them as two characters, so please keep that in mind when you request something!
🧡 what i will write:
♡ all main project prisoners + es
♡ both romantic and platonic headcanons (everything i write for amane will be strictly platonic)
♡ fluff, angst, comedy, etc
♡ guard!reader and prisoner!reader
♡ both t1 and t2 prisoners (+ maybe some t3 headcanons/theories?..)
♡ gn!reader, male!reader, fem!reader (a note: because of how popular the theory about kazui being gay is and because of the possibility of it being confirmed, i'd prefer to write only gn!reader and male!reader when it comes to him)
♡ both mikoto and john/orekoto
♡ non-prison au
♡ i prefer to write headcanons rather than scenarios simply because headcanons are easier to write jdkldsjssk
♡ i also may post general/non-x reader writing here (like crimeswap au, alternate verdicts au, etc) if y'all are interested :)
🧡 depends on the request:
♡ because of the nature of the project, i'm totally okay with writing dark content, including yandere, but i have a right not to wriite something if it makes me uncomfortable for one reason or another.
♡ as mentioned below, i don't write nsfw, but i'm okay with suggestive stuff, but again, i may be uncomfortable with some of it. also, i will write content like this only for the adult characters, meaning everyone except es, haruka, muu and amane.
🧡 what i won't write:
♡ novel characters (i don't think there's enough canon stuff to write anything about them tbh..)
♡ side characters and victims (as much as i would love to write something for rei, hinako, shidou's wife, etc, again, we know even less when it comes to them)
♡ nsfw (again, suggestive/light nsfw is okay, but only with adult characters)
♡ even though i like the threekoto theory a lot, i won't write for midokoto/greenkoto/doe, since it's not confirmed and there's not much i can do when it comes to his character.
🧡 my other blogs:
@linabirb (my main/personal blog)
@linawritestwst (my twst writing blog)
@linalilia (my old personal blog)
@linawritesocs (my twst ocs blog)
@linagram (my milgram ocs blog)
@008-edits (my edits blog)

Wahey milgram oc time my silly guya
013 - Shiratori Masaki
Tumblr media
My boy
- 20
- prisoner number 013 (I slapped them into base milgram cuz I don't wanna make a whole new cast)
- to quote my own character notes: cringefail specimen of a man.
-- fun name thing! His first name means "true, hope" hehe
UNDERCOVER
Tumblr media
"Under, oh so aware of all that you say
This makes me sick, so please, go away"
Votes (fabricated lmao)
T1 - INNOCENT

Songs of Prisoners
+T1 – what…what are you talking about?
+T2 – no…you-you’re lying!
Voice trailer (t1)
Oh uh… Shiratori Masaki, that's my name. 20, uni student. Uhh what else … oh, sorry if I forget anything, i, ah, my memory has never been any good
If I'm being honest…I don't know what the hell you're talking about! No one around me has died recently. At least…not as far as I can recall…
*Takai? Takai! Wake up! This isn't funny..!*
Voice trailer (t2)
Hi, Es-kun, how have you been? Ah, Shiratori Masaki. You didn't forget our deal, right?
*Shut up! I don't want to listen to you and your stupid problems anymore!*
Personality
-- a timid yet stubborn man. It is very difficult to change his opinions on things. Polite, but very quick to turn defensive if blame is turned on him.
He can be a prick at times.
Extra notes
-- a man with really bad memory loss. During T1 interro, he makes a deal that he'll take MILGRAM seriously if Es can tell him who his victim is. And he has to believe it
-- not mentioned but his memory loss is a trauma response. Dead bodies are traumatic I don't think that's a contraversial take
-- the indirect murderer of the pair
Full body:
Tumblr media
Please note -- his ugly fucking shoes were not an accident he has a horrible fashion sense
014 - Akabane Kazuko
Tumblr media
The She

I am interested in how all this will play out. But nothing will really change the impact of our actions. Remember that, Warden
* My final act… will take your breath away! *
T2 – voice trailer
Good day, Warden. Kazuko, you remember, yes? Seems your choices have caused quite the ruckus.
* You…You know what you've done! I'll make you pay for it!*
Personality
-- a calm and gentle woman. A showman at heart, she is elegant and loves performing magic tricks.
-- some are unsettled by her, but she does her best to be kind and friendly to those she speaks to
Extra notes:
-- Magician coded :)
-- because I can fabricate fan theories, es assumed they killed 2 people in trial one. They have only killed one.
-- the direct murderer of the pair
Full body: (outdated a lil, I changed her vibe. Design still stands)
Tumblr media
Please note -- bowling alley socks
Interro qns (please give me some interro questions tho I'm very bad at thinking any up)
Also note: interros are formatted as

Question
Kazuko
Masaki

014 — mother, self, brother,
...it's just me now
013 — parents, me and my twin, Shiratori Takai.

014 — hypocrites.
Don't become one, warden
013 — people who always depend on you
Q)Which prisoner is the most similar to you?
014 – yuzuriha kotoko.
013 – hm...
Probably kayano. He looks like he doesn't know why he's here, too
Q)What was your murder weapon?
014 — what a bold question
It was a bottle.
013 — haha, I'll humour you for this one
Hmmmm...... My words, maybe? I've been told i have quite a sharp tongue
Q)What was your family like?
014 — kind, resilient. They were wonderful. I
loved them
013 — they're ok.
Which prisoner do you get along with the least?
014 — mr mukuhara. Nothing against him, he just reminds me of someone.
013 — …Kusunoki. No reason, but I do wish she'd stop trying to talk to me. It's annoying.
Q)How has your experience been within MILGRAM ?
014 — quite good, considering we're all in here for murder.
013 — uh… good? I still don't believe you saying we're all murderers.
Q)Do you have regrets?
014 — yes. I should have done something sooner
013 — no? I did argue with my brother recently, but it was nothing, really. I'll apologize and everything will be fine
Q)Is there a verdict you hope for?
014) all I hope for is your honest judgement. I want to see how you choose to judge
013) Well, since I don't think I've done anything… I'd hope to be forgiven, of course.
Who was your victim to you?
014) nothing.
013) eh? Warden, I don't know. We made a deal remember? You tell me!
What is your father like?
014) i dont consider him my father.
013) uh…he’s my dad. What more do you want me to say, really...
What do you think of the prisoner paired with you?
014) Shiratori? Not much opinion. I do wonder what he's done to be here, though.
013) Ms Kazuko..? Shes intimidating, if I'm being honest. Not scary, just...intimidating

THE DREAMERS IN THE DAYLIGHT: HOPE
Tumblr media
Scene: After Feyre's testimony concludes, Tamlin experiences some emotions - both familiar and unfamiliar.
WARNING: This fic is highly Feysand-critical, and contains OCs who do not have their backstories explicitly described in the below scene.
Taglist: @kitkat-writes-stuff
I'm thrilled you all liked the original snippet! TBH I haven't updated my fic in months but I promise I'm still working (hence the snippets) so I'll be glad to share them here while I hammer out the kinks for the next chapters.
It was like he was emerging from the mists. Out of the dark and into the sun.
            He had not felt this much present in his own, male body for years.
            His heart was pounding wildly with an emotion he barely recognized, because the last time he’d felt it, it had blown up spectacularly in his face.
            Hope.  
            There were a lot of things he’d done wrong, and those he would accept, and he’d take the hatred, because he’d never given a single solitary shit what most of these vain lords and preening courtiers thought of him anyway – but this. The villages. All of those children.
            Feyre had done that to him. Feyre.
            She had lied through her teeth. Lied with smiles and sweetness.
            Like Rhys.
            Like her.
            And when he had run ragged, from village to village, half the time on his own, shielding those faeries with his own monstrous body –
            Eunomia of the Day Court was his savior, and Tamlin seriously considered marching himself down onto the floor of this tribunal and kissing her directly on the mouth, and damn how it would look to anyone else if he did.
            For a few minutes after the trial, he didn’t move. Many people, he considered, underestimated his intelligence because he’d openly admitted that he couldn’t manage the flowery pretensions of court etiquette and that he had no patience for diplomacy. But he was observant.
            He saw Feyre rise shakily from the bench, even though she tried valiantly to hide it. She was always good like that – she made reckless decisions like it was her job, and then when she faced consequences, covered it up with a cold bravado. But Eunomia’s questioning had unnerved her. She’d gotten under Feyre’s skin. He felt a vicious gladness so profound that it was almost shocking. Now you understand, he thought. Do you finally understand?
            He used to love that girl.
            Used to.
            He cast his gaze once again to the doors, where one of the guards had poked her head in to chat. Helion had assigned at least one guard to Eunomia, since Tamlin’s own meeting with her. Probably, this was on the off chance that Rhys was in the mood to make trouble, or rather, that it was a day ending in ‘y.’ But clearly, Eunomia didn’t mind; she even smiled faintly at the guard, and accepted a friendly slap on the back as they filed out together. Feyre’s eyes were wide and icy – frozen pools. That was what he’d thought when he’d first looked into her eyes, in the cramped little hovel they'd called a house.
            She had been so small and so brave back then.
            Who was this person that was clinging to Rhys’s arm, curling into his side as if she needed protection, as if she needed comfort?
            Perhaps Feyre really had died Under the Mountain.
            Rhys, of course, was looking as he always did, flanked by his loyal Illyrian brothers, who uniformly despised Tamlin, and the creature Rhys had insanely decided to release from the Prison. He decided to ignore them.
            He also saw Feyre’s sister – the nice one, the one whose name he always forgot. When he placed the glamour over the Archeron family, her mind had been as open as a new bud, and he’d almost felt sorry to have to intrude. She was also looking at Eunomia’s retreating back. But her eyes were noticeably less hostile. She looked curious, almost.
            Her eyes drifted upwards towards where he sat.
            Tamlin slid his eyes away, and pretended that he was not watching. He regarded Helion, who was chatting with Thesan still. It was a neutral conversation. One could even say it was boring, as far as conversations with Helion Spell-cleaver could be called boring.  
            Three of us, he thought dully. Three stupid, arrogant Lords in a room.
            A miracle, really, that they were all still alive.
            Nothing else of interest was happening, as the Courts filed out. After all, Keeper Eunomia had left the room.
            But Tamlin thought he could catch her quickly enough. He breathed deep, and closed his eyes, picking out the different scents of the room – until he found the only one that was fresh and unfamiliar to him.
            Like citrus.
            Tamlin rose from his seat.
            Fiacha jumped up at once. “High Lord!”
            A grimace – he’d forgotten about this stupid child. “You’re dismissed for the day,” he said, waving his hand. “I have some matters to finish on my own.”
            “Do you require me to accompany you?”
            “No.”
            Fiacha was disappointed, but Tamlin couldn’t bring himself to feel entirely bad about it. So far, the child had proved himself moderately useful, but the fact that he stuck to Tamlin’s side like a burr was so deeply, completely annoying that he could’ve wrung out the boy’s neck for the trouble.
            As the thought crossed his mind, so did an image of Lucien’s disappointed face.
            Make an effort, Tam.
            “Oh, fuck it,” he muttered.
            “Sir?” said Fiacha.
            “Nothing,” Tamlin replied. “I’ll meet you back at the embassy.”
            And he went after Eunomia.
            The halls cleared quickly after trial, which he liked, because it made his current work easier. Her scent was not strong, because she had no magic other than the authority of the tribunal, but it was distinctive enough that he had no trouble following it. And he moved quickly – hunting – until at last he came upon a small side room that was stacked with massive pots of sweet coffee and mint tea, little jars of honey and sugar. There were small plates of fruits and even little cakes and flaky pastry, with long cushioned benches for lounging. Despite his focus, he experienced a faint vision of his father, cursing: Lush Day Court bastards.
            Eunomia and her guard were in there, and Tamlin was focused on tracking them that he didn’t hear their conversation entirely, but he did hear how it stopped when he approached, and when he opened the door.
            Too late, it occurred to him that he hadn’t knocked.
            The guard had removed her helmet, revealing bobbed red hair – a more shocking and fiery shade than Lucien’s warm auburn. At once, she stepped ahead of Eunomia – who was seated on one of the benches, with a little round pastry dusted with pistachio in one hand, and a cup of coffee in the other – and made to guard her.
            You are a beast.
            Tamlin knew that the guard was merely doing her duty. Of course, she would make to defend her charge against the High Lord who had quite literally chased them out of the courtroom and barged in on their private breakroom without so much as a warning. He looked at Eunomia, who merely stared back. Her eyes were a cloudy gray. A part of him could not help but compare her to Feyre, all angles and sharpness. Eunomia’s face was round, her hair a nest of dark curls that made her appear, slightly, to have a lion’s mane.
            While he stared at her, she merely stared back without saying anything.
            It was difficult to tell what she was thinking, even now.
            “State your business, my lord.”
            The guard’s prompting jolted him suddenly back to the ground. He had to think of something to say, and quickly.
            “The records you showed,” he said.
            His voice was rough. Nomi’s eyes widened slightly.
            “Yes,” she told him. “They’re accurate. I verified each one with the assistance of my peers. I apologize, my lord, if I overstepped. I sent a formal request and someone got back to me. I should not have assumed –”
            Why in the world was she always apologizing to him? He had already told her once that he would support her with his full strength. Did she not believe him? Was she frightened of him?
            “Who?” he asked.
            “Hart is the name that I was given. He did not say his family name, but Hart was the source.”
            Hart. They used to get drunk and he would sing while Tamlin played, always a song about an adventure. He’d thought that Hart had gone back to his father’s estates, or worse, to the Summer Court, in rebellion after what had happened.
            But Hart had given Eunomia the records. And Bronn was testifying on his behalf. Reluctantly, but still.
            “I see,” he said. He fixed his eyes somewhere near his shoes, so that she wouldn’t see that was becoming emotional. I am still High Lord. “Thank you for telling me. And thank you,” he added, “for your work today.”
            “Please, don’t thank me, my lord. I should be the one thanking you. If it were not for your generous support, then this trial would not be possible.”
            She gave all the niceties that she was expected to, and minded her rank – as expected of one of Helion’s scholars – but there was no fear or resentment in her deference at all. Rather, she was completely earnest in her dedication to service. It was – well, it was sweet. At least, her deference to him as a High Lord didn’t make him chafe.
            “I’m hardly generous. I think I stood up just to be petty.”
            Both her and the guardswoman wore matched, muted expressions of surprise. Tamlin realized that he had smiled on accident.
            “Forgive me, my lord,” Nomi replied, with a slight frown. “I do not think that is true. Even though I struggle to understand your – personal connection –” That was a very, very polite way of putting it, Tamlin thought, “– with the High Lady of Night, and your personal feelings towards that matter, I have no doubt in my mind that her actions against you constituted a crime. And I believe, firmly, with all my heart, that the children of the Spring Court deserve to see justice done. Both the living and the dead.”
            They’d run from him in some of the villages, because he had arrived as a beast, choosing to forgo winnowing in favor of power and speed, in case he ran across any threats. Some of those burned towns had been places where he'd had friends, lovers. The Hybernian units had burned out sections of his forests, and snared the faeries who fled from that fire, and threw their bodies into pits dug into the earth, like they were merely the carcasses of animals. He wasn’t even planning to go to that ridiculous war council in Dawn, because he had no Court to bring with him, and because he had spent the last three days beforehand digging graves with his own two hands.
            Even now, the ghost of that particular anger stirred a fire in his chest.
            He trusted her. He was going to marry her.
            But she had come back wrong. She had gone into the dark, and she was never coming out of it.
            And he should have known that. It was the whole reason he’d tried to send her away in the first place. Because once that darkness got into your head, it wasn’t coming out. There was nothing he could have done to prevent it, even if he’d wanted to.
            He had buried his people, and with them, all his hopes.
            “Justice,” he muttered. “When it was my fault anyhow.”
            “As I said, I do not believe that is the case, my lord. I intend to prove it.”
            She was so confident that he almost believed her. In a way, she really was like her brother. She did look remarkably similar to him as well, but there were slight differences in the set of their jaws. And of course, Thales’s eyes had been his most distinctive feature. That beautiful blue did not exist anywhere in Eunomia’s eyes.
            Tamlin, whose brothers had merely seen him as an obstacle or a rival on the best of days, finally understood. This was what it meant to actually have a sibling. Eunomia was the sort of person who could make you feel more at ease with the day-to-day minutia of a chaotic world - a rock, which Thales had clung to with all his might.
            “May I ask you a personal question?”
            “That strongly depends on the nature of the question, my lord.”
            She did not seem like she was joking, which was fine, because he wasn’t either.
            “Would it be alright if I visited your brother’s grave?”
            The guardswoman made an audible sound of surprise – not anger.
            Tamlin explained, “I didn’t know him very well, so I would understand if you refuse. But I think he deserves some credit for today, especially. When we spoke for the last time, before we really understood what we were about to do, I –”
            He happened to look up, and see the expression on Eunomia’s face.
            Of course, he should have known.
            “I apologize, Keeper Eunomia,” he started to say.
            “Did he say anything before?”
            Her voice came out strained, as if she were physically holding it back somehow.
            Tamlin closed his eyes. Amarantha had suddenly had him moved to a small, stale room, and for a few minutes, he wondered if he was being imprisoned as a precaution, because if Feyre won her final trial, they would be freed, and his powers would return in full, and he had spent fifty years imagining how he would kill Amarantha for poisoning this world, for treating them like toys, for hurting Lucien, and now for hurting Feyre.
            That, or Feyre would be killed, and they would be doomed.
            But then the other two were brought in. The woman was called Sacha, and she was of Dawn. Tamlin learned that Sacha was training to be a priestess before she had been imprisoned. In retrospect, she had more awareness of what was about to happen than either of her companions. She had a distant look in her eyes, and kept thumbing a ring against her finger, which may have been a token from someone she once cared about.
            Thales, even then, was talking as if this was just a temporary thing.
            “You seem confident,” Sacha had said, softly. “You really think we’ll be freed?”
            “Of course, we will!” And he’d actually patted Tamlin heartily on the shoulder as he said this. “I’ve got it all the things I want to do planned out – the only trouble is putting them in order. Obviously, the first thing to do is to introduce Nomi and Daphne.”
            Tamlin said, “You think that will go well?”
            “Oh, absolutely,” he replied, with supreme confidence. “I mean, they’ll be nervous around each other, and it’ll be awkward at first – Nomi doesn’t always like meeting new people but she’ll love Daphne once she gets to know her. And after that...”
            He’d had so many dreams. That was how he’d survived Under the Mountain for so many decades. Tamlin listened to him beg for mercy, and known that he would get none from Feyre. She had murdered Andras with hate in her heart, and she would kill Thales out of love for Tamlin.
            Ruthless. That was her nature. As cold and bitter as an empty night sky.
            And that was the worst of it all.
            To Eunomia, he said, “He never lost hope. He was sure that the curse would be broken and we’d all be freed. And he also… He said that the first thing he’d do when he returned to Rhodes was to tell you he was sorry for keeping you up all night with that horn before your aptitude test, and for the time he switched out your lotion for itching cream, and that he’d tell you that he was proud of you.”
            It felt ridiculous repeating those things, told to him in confidence by Thales, who had befriended him without reasoning that Tamlin was going to be the cause of his death. Eunomia was far cleverer than any of them, so she probably understood that fact already. The curse, and the war that followed, was his fault, after all. Because he had run out his time. He had not been strong enough.
            He straightened his back, and lifted his chin. Get on with it, then.
            At least, if she cut him down with a curse or even if she got right up and slapped him, he would deserve the blow. He would take it.
            A faint sniff broke his train of thought – and Tamlin noticed for the first time that the guardswoman’s eyes were full of tears.
            Eunomia, too, was looking emotional. Her gaze seemed far away, and her smile faint. But there was a light in her expression now that hadn’t been there before. She seemed almost lost in a memory – a happy memory, though. Some pain had gone from her when he spoke.
            “That is the exact kind of stupid thing he’d say,” said Eunomia. “Thank you for telling me that, my lord. Of course, you can visit his grave anytime. I don’t think anyone would question it, but if anyone does, just tell the undertakers that I gave permission.”
            Somehow, he had made her happy.
            Words failed him. He felt suddenly exhausted, and just left without saying anything else. He didn’t know if he could bear looking in her eyes anymore.
            When he returned to the main foyer, Fiacha was there, looking like an absolute nervous wreck as he paced back and forth between the pillars, weaving a strange circular pattern with his steps.
            “My lord!” he gasped out, straightening at attention only when Tamlin deliberately approached him and stepped into his path. “You went off so suddenly – I waited!”
            For a few surprisingly pleasant minutes, Tamlin had forgotten all about him. But he couldn’t really muster up any harsher emotions than the vague annoyance of an older male naturally felt towards a persistent, upbeat younger one.
            “I know. We’re finished. Let’s go.”
            “Yes, sir! Right away, sir!”
            But he did feel better, he realized, stepping out of the hall and into the still burning afternoon sun. He blinked a few times to have his eyes adjust. The light had always invigorated him, but the Day Court’s fierce summers were known to cause veritable heatstroke, and honestly, it was all a bit overwhelming. The myriad of scents – perfumes and spices and cooked food and so many individual bodies all moving around, and stray cats, and gardens, and fountains, and traders on horseback, and fruit trees etc., etc., etc. – tended to give him a migraine if he focused on it.
            Today, there was none of that. His heart beat calmly. There were a few hours of light left in their day, yet, and he felt no need to hole himself up in his room.
            “Fiacha.”
            The boy straightened. “Yes, lord?”
            “Is there something you want to eat?”
            “Me?” came the baffled, almost-whispered, and entirely pedestrian shock. “Really?”
            Tamlin rolled his eyes. “That’s why I asked.”
            “I…”
            For a minute or two, Tamlin thought he wasn’t even going to answer and started to lose patience.
            “There was a place that we passed on our way here this morning,” said Fiacha timidly, “that had a smell coming from the kitchen. I don’t know exactly what it was but I remember the spot.”
            Seemed that the Mother had at last seen fit to bless Her child with a lick of sense.
            Tamlin said, “Great. We’ll eat there. Lead the way.”
            The boy paused for a minute, staring at him in utter confusion – before an enormous smile spread across his face.
            “Of course, my lord! Follow me!”

Tumblr media
It’s time for our internet boy! Wait, this isn’t Fuuta…oh well? He’s still pretty fun though! Just a silly little high schooler...
Fun fact, I changed his crime a little bit from the original, but most of the general beats are the same!
Name - Chui Tamaki (注唯 環) (kanji in last name means “note” and the second part is only an emphasis, kanji in first name means “ring”)
Age - 17
Gender – Male
Birthday – Jun. 11
Height – 171 cm
Blood Type – B
Image Colour - #82EEFD
Occupation – High school student (second year)
Personality – He’s very loud. He’s always saying some rather odd and though-provoking statements to get attention from the other prisoners, including flirting and teasing them a bit. He claims to have been one of the most popular students in his school, and it certainly seems to have been plausible.
He can be rather spacey sometimes, more out of being caught up in his own thoughts than anything else. He’s quick to catch up, however.
Whenever he’s asked about his crime, he just laughs and brushes it off. He doesn’t seem to see it as a big deal at all, and he especially doesn’t appreciate people seeing him as guilty because of it.
Canon Cover – This Is How To Be In Love With You (because the aesthetic fits his crime)
DECO*27 Cover – Chimera (“don’t be so selfish for the same old”)
Vocaloid Cover – Beat Eater (Police Piccadilly) (full disclaimer, I love Project Sekai, and I like the BGM of this. I was originally going to do Showtime Ruler, but I don’t think the lyrics are quite right)
“Welcome to MILGRAM! Well, you’re new here too, right? My name is Chui Tamaki, and while I didn’t do anything…I guess that’s gonna be up to you to decide.”
“What did you… why did you…this has to be a stunt, right? It’s just a joke, it’s just a joke…”
 MV – Superstar
His song would sound like your classic idol content, and the lyrics would all be about indulging and enjoying life, directed to the listener. The aesthetic itself would be somewhere between neon and pastel.
The MV would start with our regular Tamaki winking to the camera and saying “You only live once!” in English.
A version of Tamaki with entirely orange hair and star-shaped sunglasses sits at a table in a high school cafeteria, talking with some other faceless people in a lively way.
Another version of Tamaki with square red glasses and black hair throws a set of tabletop dice, then looks to someone just offscreen.
A version of Tamaki with blue hair with black streaks and no glasses talks with a girl with long flowing pink hair, again faceless.
Our regular Tamaki sits at a computer with a lot of decorations on it, filming something. Suddenly, the pink-haired girl runs up to him and pulls him away, and the screen fades in a flash of light.
The video comes back, but it’s notably tinted pink from now on and mostly features the Tamaki without glasses. He sits in class, not paying attention to anything the teacher is saying and instead making little doodles of hearts in his exercise book.
He walks through the hallways, where a lot of people are gathered around him, notably much larger than the number of people at his table.
The regular Tamaki is talking with his friends at lunch, a bit more annoyed. At this point, the background music becomes louder and the voices get quieter.
The Tamaki with square glasses uploads a video to his channel, with a thumbnail of the pink-haired girl, and it instantly gets a lot of dislikes. He scrolls through the comments, just looking annoyed.
The scene cuts back to the Tamaki with star glasses in the filming location, visibly uneasy. He looks at something off in the distance and gasps. The camera shakes, and the screen fills with ads, ending in an error message that reads “The channel you were trying to watch has been deleted.”
 Trivia
He’s kind of like Fuuta in that they’re both chronically online and they didn’t directly commit murder.
He’s my only non-Danganronpa OC to be in here! Yes, this includes Akemi. I won’t say what he was originally for since I feel like that spoils a lot of his crime, plus it has a reputation that is not very great for understandable reasons.
He’s really nervous about the word “love” for some reason.

my ocs as milgram songs!
YESSSSS WE'RE DOING THIS okay so this is very self-indulgent, i should've probably done something.. you know, like i could finally post some of my ocs' backstories or write more vignettes or voicelines/chats for them, BUT NO. I'M ASSIGNING THEM PRISONERS' SONGS. it's okay, it's gonna get pretty deep and i will psychoanalyze them a lot in this post <3
okay, but the thing is that i'm actually not doing this like "this character is this song", i'm actually choosing multiple characters for most songs. the reason? i couldn't decide which song fits which character more and i had too many ideas, so.. yeah. also it's just really fun to imagine my ocs covering these songs and singing them together!
(warning: milgram songs are pretty dark, obviously, and this analysis gets even more darker as we go deeper and some moments.. yeah, they show just how depressed and broken my ocs really are)
weakness: hayden and real!jay
"if i tried and couldn't say it, you would get angry at me and say "you're hopeless". if only i could do what anyone else could do, the right future unfairly chose the wrong me" OKAY WE'RE STARTING THIS OFF WITH SOME GOOD ANGST. so at first i wanted to just use real!jay for this, but then i read the lyrics again and i was like ".. oh, this is haydencore actually". because i remind you, hayden's childhood was not good. this song's lyrics describe hayden's relationship with his family perfectly and i can say the same thing about real!jay as well. hayden's family really was abusive and punished him for pretty much everything, even if it wasn't that bad or it was just him doing something that made him happy, meanwhile real!jay's family members are more "neglectful", they don't exactly hate him, they just.. don't care about him at all. they actually were very loving towards him when he was little and tried to show that they care, but it didn't help much and real!jay still grew up to be a very sad boy who doesn't believe in himself and has an extremely low self-esteem. so eventually they just went "oh well, if you don't want to talk to us, we won't bother you anymore" and they really stopped bothering him which made him feel even more lonely, but he still refused to spend time with them. so yeah, in this case i think real!jay is actually more similar to haruka, because his family actually did treat him well when he was a child and also the main reason why jay's relationship with his family became worse is him not being "smart enough". can't believe my son is a haruka kinnie where did i go wrong also such lyrics as "my life started in a wrong spot" and "my loneliness was desired" fit hayden A LOT.
umbilical: allen, hayden and seth
"what type of girl do you like? i want to become like that, but that's probably too hard for me."
"just the two of us, i finally found it. the lies are endless. just me alone, it really is lonely. let's reload the warmth."
LISTEN. LISTEN ASSIGNING YUNO'S SONGS TO MY KIDS WAS SO FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S LIKE.
*me, looking at all my twst ocs who are mostly male* "okay, boys, which one wants a song that's most likely about abortion" and then i assigned this song to THREE of my male ocs
so, why did i choose these boys? okay, so first of all, it's the vibe. we all can agree that a song like this would fit allen and seth SO WELL, like it's their aesthetic, especially allen's. also of course i had to choose allen for a cute love song that actually has a darker meaning! and i think seth is very similar to yuno, so i really wanted him to have at least one of her songs and then i made him have two . about hayden, this song is literally perfect for him, because it's pretty much about yuno creating all these personas for her clients and HAYDEN CAN RELATE. also, i feel like the beginning of the song gives off "how hayden would act if he was in love" energy, haha. ("why are you here? you annoy me a little, i can't smile well anymore, it's because of you")
also, the "what type of girl do you like" part fits all of them so well, but, like, in different ways? hayden has to pretend to be a different person to make others like him, for seth it's something actually cute and romantic and for allen it's something more creepy and it's just him being his yandere self as usual. and i think that moment where yuno falls off the stairs, catches a balloon and looks more happy after that is very sethcore? it feels a lot like him running away from his sister and getting isekai-ed.
AND I GOT LITERAL CHILLS WHEN I IMAGINED ALL THREE OF THEM DOING THE "I MESSED UP, I FOUND OUT" PART
bring it on: merrill and austin
"what i want to hear is the scream deep inside you. you apologize if you do something wrong, you learn that even before words, don't you?"
okay, i don't actually have a deep reason for this, I JUST KNEW THAT THESE TWO HAVE TO GET FUUTA'S SONG. COME ON THEY'RE MY IGNIHYDE SONS AND THIS IS A SOCIAL MEDIA (+ video games) -THEMED SONG. also it's so fun to imagine both of them singing it together (with merrill doing the slower parts and austin doing the faster/more intense parts) and not with each other but AT each other. so like. it's basically them having a rap battle. this is exactly what other ignihyde members have to deal with every day.
but if we have to go deeper, then we can also interpret it as both of them judging each other and going "WELL I'M SORRY I'M BETTER THAN YOU". but it's not that deep, that's just merrill and austin on the daily (+ more flirting and bickering like an old married couple). so if we go EVEN DEEPER, then this song actually fits austin very well, because he really wants to believe that he's better than everyone else to cope with his insecurity and him not knowing who he wants to be in the future and also him secretly being magicless
after pain: avery and real!jay
"if i was gone, if i had just disappeared, i overheard, i found out, how much i'm not needed. there's no special meaning, i got the short end of the stick."
"if you're going to make me the villain, it's okay to ignore me. if it's endurance, i'm used to it, it's just having another taste of it."
HI HERE'S A REMINDER THAT AVERY WAS BULLIED. A LOT. AND RSA STUDENTS DON'T LIKE HIM. that's the whole reason for me assigning him this song dhjjddksdk. and real!jay is here because he's a sad little boy and this sad little song sounds a lot like him. also i think avery and jay singing this together is so 😔😔😭😭😭
and that one part in the end with muu and that other girl is very averycore too because here's another reminder: his crush told him that she would date him if it wasn't for his freckles (which is a stupid reason, but she was a kid, so.. yeah. tbh i headcanon that she would actually fall in love with avery if she saw him now) so the "i love you" part and imagining avery crying and holding that girl's hand.. i'm on the floor. i'm sobbing. loudly.
throw down: roland and fake!jay
"throw down", it's okay, that's enough. can't stay away, please don't forgive me. that's why i want this to end."
"after stabbing you with my words, the blood started to flow and slowly stained my white. hey, you remember what it feels like? the feeling to take away in order to give"
of course, i had to go with roland for this song. LISTEN THEY GAVE ME A SAD LOVE SONG BY A MORALLY GREY CHARACTER AND I TOOK IT AND GAVE IT TO ROLAND. i feel like i don't have to explain this one, we all know how roland's backstory goes and his relationship with his ex, so i just wanna say that i think this song is perfect for him, especially the moments where shidou says stuff like "don't forgive me" because roland still thinks that he actually doesn't deserve forgiveness. no matter how hard he tries to make people like him and become a better person, he will never truly change his ways and he will always end up becoming obsessed with his love interest and getting into another unhealthy relationship again.. but that's a story for another day.
why did i add jay too? ah, it's just because of the song's aesthetic jdkdksdk. COME ON WATCH THE MV AND TELL ME THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE JAY'S VIBES. DO IT. also i just think jay's soft and pretty voice would fit this song a lot!
this is how to be in love with you: allen and angel
"we fought sometimes, i was happy to get hurt. let's have matching pain, this sickness is pretty bad. this is a claim of responsibility from two of us with matching love"
"giving you love to the point of pulling you down, it's just because i still get worried, please forgive me. even when i test you, even when we do the breakup ritual, is because i love you"
okay, so at first i was sure that i will go ONLY with allen, because this song is so allencore, it scares me. however, i read the lyrics again and.. yeah, allen and angel are gonna have a duet together.
so we all know that allen is a yandere and it's one of his main personality traits, and he's very similar to mahiru, he's just as obsessed with love and romance as her. however, the thing is.. angel's view on love is just as twisted as allen's. i mentioned in the past that i see angel as aroace, but it doesn't mean that they can't be obsessed with platonic love! both of them are so unhinged, it's actually very hard to imagine them having a healthy relationship with someone and it doesn't matter if it's platonic or romantic.
let's think about allen's obsession with love first. why does he want to be loved so much? why does he want to find a s/o already, why is he so ready to marry them and spend the rest of his life with them? yeah, the answer looks simple at first: he's a rich kid who had a very lonely childhood. lumi was his only friend and he didn't like riley that much, so he usually avoided him. and when his parents said that they can't let him and lumi keep being friends, something inside him broke. he was forced to spend the rest of his childhood in complete loneliness and butlers and maids were his only company because he didn't see his parents that often. also allen used to read a lot and most stories he read were very romantic and they always had happy endings, so.. of course, little allen thought that love is the only thing he needs to be happy. that's why he dated so many people, only to get disappointed when he realized he didn't feel anything at all. he just wants to stop feeling lonely. he just wants to feel happy again and if love can't give him that happiness.. what's even the point of him still being alive? so this guy can definitely fall in love with someone, but let's be honest here, he will mostly see his s/o just as a cure for his loneliness at first. he will overwhelm his s/o with his love, he will love them so much that they will eventually get tired of him, but it's okay, that's just him showing how much he cares about them! so they won't leave him, right?..
also here's a fun fact! i think i mentioned it before, but allen actually never killed anyone before, even though he can literally summon knives, but he still never used them to stab anyone, he just uses them to scare his rivals. and if he finally tries to stab someone one day.. that's when it turns out that his "spoiled rich kid self" is actually stronger than his "yandere self". why is there so much blood?.. he didn't want to get his clothes dirty, he feels so gross, he's so angry at his victim, he should take his revenge on them! so he keeps stabbing them, but of course, he just gets more blood on his clothes. this just makes allen even more angry and he will order someone to get rid of the body while he's trying to clean himself up. and no, he's not gonna do the dirty work! that's his servants other students' job! so yeah, allen is definitely dangerous and he's not a good person, but he's actually more pathetic than people think and he's too lazy to kill someone. sure, he can stalk his crush, blackmail them, force them to date him, kidnap them, but he can't let even a drop of blood get on his clothes. he was okay with it during the ghost marriage event because it was fake and vance assured him that the prefect is going to love it.
ANGEL IS SOMEHOW EVEN WORSE THAN HIM. actually, this song fits them even better than allen. angel is obsessed with "fixing" other people, making them feel better, helping them and then they will say that they're just showing their love this way. however, they will try to fix that person even if they don't need their help or they're actually doing fine. what do you mean, you're not going through anything bad? but angel has never seen you smile! and no, saying that you just don't like smiling or you're not comfortable with it won't work. don't worry, angel will take very good care of you <3 even if it hurts, even if you cry more often than you did before meeting angel, even if you're in pain, just remember that they're trying to help. it's them showing their love and you better appreciate it. just look at what they did to hayden! they turned the shy little boy that he was into a popular and charming student with a perfect reputation! look at what they did to bunny! she has such an important position now, she's the vice dorm leader and after angel had to leave, she even had to become a dorm leader until they came back! angel gave her so much, they're sure that bunny loves them just as much as they love her. look at what they did to their little br- ah, you don't have to know about that.
half: roland and bunny
"i imagined that you saying "see you" is the same as "it's over", only if your heart would change, but that's not possible. please tell me what i should do, feelings shrouded in lies will float away and disappear."
roland is just getting all the older guys' songs hdjsksksk. okay, again, i don't think i have to explain why i assigned him this song. LET'S TALK ABOUT BUNNY THOUGH. i should talk about her more often jdjdkdkd.
so we all know that bunny doesn't like angel even though she pretends that she's still friends with her. and their friendship really was kinda wholesome when they first met and angel thought bunny was cute and wanted to get to know her better. but as both of them got older, bunny realized that their relationship is very unhealthy and she didn't want to be friends with someone like angel. she realized just how manipulative angel really is, you see, the reason why bunny is such a perfectionist who's obsessed with always doing everything on time and doing everything better than others is because angel told her that it's okay to be like that. in fact, angel encouraged this kind of behavior and told bunny that she should keep acting like that so that she can show others that she really is better than them. at first bunny truly believed that angel just wanted to help her with her self-confidence, but.. she's not so sure anymore. she really wants to get better, she wants to feel more relaxed, she wants to have fun with other dorm members even though she claims to hate them, but she can't, because the dorm leader themself taught her to hate "chaotic and irresponsible people" like that. and even though bunny hates angel so much, she still can't tell them the truth. maybe it's because she knows she won't have any friends left if she stops hanging out with angel (hayden will most likely leave her after that) or maybe she still wants to believe that angel is a good person. so she just keeps hoping that angel will be the one to end their friendship.
so yeah, if you read the lyrics and imagine this song to be about someone who got tired of their friend, but still doesn't want to let them go for some reason and keeps coming back to them.. i'm crying. i'm crying on the floor rn.
magic: vance
"i've made up my mind so they don't make that face at me again. but it's not scary at all, because it's love."
"i won't say "i've had enough", will you laugh with me and forgive me? i promise! i can only become a better girl! only if, only if, only if i could be a good girl, i hope, i hope everyone could be happy and smile"
do we all remember vance's backstory? do we all remember what his childhood was like? GOOD, I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS ONE DHJDJDKKDDK.
okay, but all jokes aside, little vance really was a lot like amane, he wanted to be a good kid and he did everything he could to make his parents and grandpa proud of him.. it didn't work though and his family still thinks he's a troublemaker 😔
and yes i know that this song would fit hayden a lot but. the vibes. the vibes are certainly vancecore
MeMe: hayden and bunny
"why am i here? it must be a mistake? take a good look at me, until you find me, the truth will come to reveal itself. i won't forgive you if this is happening to me even though i'm right"
"it's the same anywhere i go, it's like what's wrong isn't wrong. i'm already the fake one, i'm probably not to blame, it's probably nothing, i'm probably just having a bad dream"
I JUST WANT THEM TO SCREAM WHILE THIS SONG IS PLAYING. LET THEM COVER THIS SONG. THEY'RE ANGRY, THEY'RE TIRED, THEY'RE STRESSED, ALL THEY NEED TO COPE WITH THAT IS TO COVER A SERIAL KILLER'S SONG
this song describes hayden and bunny's repressed anger perfectly, both of them are tired from people around them and they want to become free from those who have authority over them (in hayden's case, it's his family and azul and in bunny's case, it's angel). they're okay with doing not so morally correct things to achieve their goals and they're used to pretending to be someone else so that others won't suspect anything. though in mikoto's case he literally has multiple personalities but. you get my point
also i chose these lyrics because both of them don't think their actions are wrong. hayden thinks it's okay to lie to everyone and use them and bunny thinks it's okay to say bad things about angel and other dorm members behind their backs and secretly control them with her unique magic. they don't think that they're the villains and they will do anything to make themselves look better.
harrow: minnie
"i'll teach you the pain that you caused, it's a tie after saying sorry. what are you hoping for? shall we replace the poor soul and the miserable delusion, "i didn't mean to offend", "i won't do it again", how many wins in a row?"
"if it damaged someone's dream to the point of stopping it, i want to gouge you out with my fangs, i want to be drowning in the knowledge that i am right"
i love minnie, but. let's be honest, she would most likely be a kotoko apologist 😭😭 minnie is a very strict person, who can be quite judgemental, but even though she thinks that she's the smartest one, she often makes decisions that are.. not so good. like, she can often act out of pure spite and it doesn't help that she has a secret sadistic side and sometimes she just wants to see other students suffer. and in the end she will always say that she just wanted to help them and it's for their own good and they're just too dumb and can't understand it.
minnie does have her reasons to act like that, just like hayden and bunny, she has a lot of anger inside her and she doesn't know how to cope with it. she wants to do something about it, but even though seth is the ramshackle prefect, he's not the best therapist, so he can't give her a good advice. so minnie has no choice but to lash out, scream and blame everyone but herself.. though it wasn't her fault that her dad left and her brother refused to help minnie take care of their mom. but minnie is just too afraid that the same thing will happen again and she will have no one to rely on and she doesn't want to feel as lonely as she felt in the past. so she just keeps pushing everyone away, yelling at them, pointing her finger at them and saying that they're the bad guys. she wants someone to tell her that she's right, comfort her and assure her that she did nothing wrong. so yeah, the "i want to be drowning in the knowledge that i am right" part fits her perfectly my favorite part of the song tbh it says a lot about kotoko's character i think
all-knowledge and all-agony: real!jay
"you were always comparing me to someone else, you were always generous, except towards me. i will definitely make you love me again"
"i just wanted to be your good boy, why am i crying again? if with one click, and i can reset everything, can i be your favorite this time?"
again, i don't think i should explain this one, because I HAVE TO AGREE, ALL-KNOWING ALL-AGONY IS MUCH MORE INTENSE THAN WEAKNESS, but.. i assigned it to real!jay for the exact same reason as weakness. though i think it fits him even better than weakness because of how desperate haruka sounds and him being even more unhinged in this mv. jay craves love and attention even though he doesn't talk much about it and it's not that obvious. also the aesthetic of the mv and this whole animals theme.. yeah
tear drop: merrill, riley and seth
""poor naive little girl"? so off the mark, what's it to you? it's just absurd, like really, who do you think you are? don't weigh me, measure me against your morality, just shut it, will you?"
"i'm the one who chose, let you, you and you all in. happy or sad? why decide? where'd you get your half-baked sense of justice? so nauseating, so creepy, will you please disappear? phew, anyway!"
YUNO'S SONG BEING EXTREMELY RILEYCORE IS SO FUNNY TO ME. i just imagine merrill and seth watching the mv and going ".. should we. should we let our sweet innocent son sing this song". they have no idea how excited riley is to sing it.
okay, so why is this song perfect for riley? you see, this guy actually hates his fans. this is exactly why he refuses to show his emotions, he hoped that his fans will think he's creepy and will avoid him, but it didn't work and now people think he's even more cute. but no his quirks and weird personality traits are real and he's not pretending and the main reason why he hates them is not because he's an introvert and wants to be left alone or something like that, but because 1) he thinks allen deserves to be more popular and 2) he knows that his fans don't know that much about him and they see him only as this pure and innocent boy who always has this face 😐. he would be okay with them if they actually liked him because of his achievements, his talents, his personality, he would even be okay with them liking him only because of his appearance. however, people love him only because they believe that he's this perfect cinnamon roll and he's not like that at all. riley is just as flawed as them, come on, he still refuses to leave his cousin alone even though allen hates him! and no, that's not him being cute, that's him refusing to accept that someone can actually dislike him, even hate him. he's used to people loving him and even though he doesn't want to accept their love, he doesn't want to accept them hating him as well. the "so nauseating, so creepy, will you please disappear" part is perfect for riley and it shows how he actually feels about his fans.
the aesthetic of the mv is perfect for seth and merrill though. tear drop fits merrill as well because, just like riley, merrill knows that people actually don't know anything about him. they like him only because of his appearance and flirty personality, but that's it. he's nothing to them. and merrill likes to say that he doesn't care about that because he doesn't need those people, but.. he needs the attention though. and if he doesn't get the kind of attention he wants.. merrill will break. he will lose his reason to live. he wants people to see him as something more than just an attractive upperclassman with a cool aura and a secret magicam account, but he knows that it's impossible, so he has to accept that kind of attention from them. if he doesn't, he will get no attention at all ("the fading warmth makes me anxious again")
now, why did i choose seth? as i said before, seth gives me strong yuno kinnie vibes, because both of them act like they're much more carefree than they really are and they are actually very smart and they're more emotionless and cold than people think. both of them don't want others to treat them like a child, but they still want to be loved, seth even wants to be saved. he wants someone to care about him, but he doesn't want that person to treat him like his sister did. he still wants to be free, he wants to have a fun life, but he also just wants to be held. ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT "TEAR DROP" AND "DROP OF SUNLIGHT"-
backdraft: avery and austin
"applause receding far away, me, the result of blame-shifting, no, can't find that funny. with just one mistake and i'm out of chances, bless me, please, with one more chance. it's not even my fault, not even slightly"
fuuta's songs are perfect for austin, okay? in short, i chose this song for avery and austin because both of them are very insecure and cope with it by making fun of others and being mean, but the moment others start treating them the same way, they start to panic and they either beg for forgiveness or.. have a breakdown. avery ended up overblotting because of how much rsa students hated him even though they had a good reason for that and whenever people bully austin or simply point out his mistakes, he locks himself up in his room and cries into his pillow, so yeah, he's much more sensitive than he looks like.
also, i think it would be fun for vance to join them to cover this song, i feel like this song's vibe fits him well and it's just very fun to imagine avery and austin having an existential crisis and rethinking their actions meanwhile this guy is jumping around and going "BURN BURN :D"
as for the future season 2 songs, for now i feel like "it's not my fault" has angel's vibes, "the purge march" sounds like vance and hayden's duet (especially their overblot versions) and. yeah, "i love you" is allencore. ALSO I THINK MERRILL'S COVER OF "CAT" WOULD SOUND COOL

Baldur's Gate 2/3 and Icewind Dale 2 original character: Kolnath
Basic background (Baldur's Gate 2 setting)
Name: Kolnath
Race: High elf
Age: 400s
Profession: mage
Religious affiliation: Helm
Initially, Kolnath would worship the elven gods. But due to his relationship with Arenia (a human paladin) he would decide to renounce his gods and follow her one.
Alignment: lawful good/lawful neutral
During his early adventures (the Icewind Dale setting), he would be lawful good. He wants to do good, even though he has a tendency of seeing his version as the only right way. After the death of Arenia and Edaena, as well as what happened in Suldanessellar with Irenicus, he would become rather detached and apathetic. However, he still firmly believes in the law due to feeling that it is what prevents further chaos and problems.
Tumblr media
Note
Kolnath is a very unusual case, because I usually create female OCs and pair them up with the particular male character that I like. However, he became a character with no link to any canon character that I ended up developing quite a bit and just really like.
He came to be when I was playing Icewind Dale 2, when you had to create a whole party. Out of all the six characters, he is the one I ended up liking the most. Unfortunately, I did not realise that the events of Icewind Dale 2 was actually not that long ago from the Baldur Gate series. So I am just going to completely disregard the canon (not for the first time) and say that it took place two centuries earlier. So Kolnath was only in his 200s, very young for an elf
Kolnath is meant to start off as a very negative character that embodies the worst of both elven and noble snobbery, only to realise how wrong he is. My attempt at finding out what type of elf his is got surprisingly complicated. Even though a lot of people feel that the elves of Suldanessellar are wood elves, I disagree strongly. Wood elves are meant to be quite similar to wild elves in that they are less concerned about civilization and structure, but Suldanessellar is shown as the opposite. Out of the two possible sub-race for high elves (Sun or moon elf), I actually feel that the elves of Suldanessellar are more like the former, since the latter is meant to be more restless and willing to mingle with the humans. In the game, it seems that the elves of Suldanessellar have a rather strong preference for isolation.
Before I talk about him, it is necessary to mention the other party members that he travelled with
Arenia (human paladin, mid 20s): the default leader. From a prestigious family in Baldur's Gate
Edaena (human sorceress, mid 20s): Arenia's twin sister. She ran away with her much older lover, who was actually Garren's friend from his previous adventure. They married and were very much in love, only for him to be killed by one of Arenia's follow paladin.
Garren (wild elf monk, 300s): a very unusual elf who left his secluded home in the forest and became a monk.
Ravewyn (half elf druid, 30s): an orphan girl abandoned in the forest, raised by animals and did not leave her forest home until a few years ago.
Twilight (human thief, early 20s): daughter of two shadow thieves in Athkatla, who grew up in the guild with little acknowledgments from her parents. She ran away at the start of the events of the game due to seeing a prisoner being tortured
Biography
Kolnath is the son of a very prestigious general in Suldanessellar, who sent him to study with one of the highest ranking mages in the city. His teacher would suggest that he spend some time adventuring to gain more life experience.
Kolnath would arrive in the Ten Towns and ended up working with the above people. At first, he bore great snobbery due to both his race and rank. Not only would his view change, he and Arenia would become lovers, while the other three, especially Edaena, would be like sisters to him. Garren would be a mixture of mentor, friend and elder brother. Even though the group managed to solve the initial problem, they decided to continue travelling together.
Due to the group having promised to help Nickademus, they were forced to battle the devils and demons he summoned. Both Arenia and Edaena would die, resulting in the group splitting up. Garren and Ravewyn, who became lovers, returned to the forest she grew up in, while Twilight married the captain that first took them to Targos. Kolnath would return to Suldanessellar, where he took the position of his teacher and one of his students would be Joneleth (the latter Irenicus). Kolnath would notice the other as being rather like him, talented in magic with few regards for those that he did not care about. He intended to send the other to travel, just as he was, but Elliesime would override him and begin to teach Joneleth herself.
Kolnath and his family, especially his father, were always distant with one another. Their relationship would worsen with his return, as he would be extremely sympathetic to humans, as well as disagreeing with the city's semi-isolation. In addition, he worships a human god and describes Arenia as his wife. He and Arenia were only engaged, but as she was the only one he would have married, he often describes himself as a widower
The attack on the tree of life by Irenicus resulted in the death of his teacher, who he began to love as a father. He would be extremely upset at the Queen's ruling and even openly denouncing it. This resulted in an unofficial exile, where he was sent to guard the Underdark exit, but given certain amount of freedom by being allowed to leave now and then. This freedom is because to punish him for being rude to the queen when he was simply regarded as speaking his truth would imply that Elliesime is being tyrannical by not hearing another opinion. His privilege then makes it seem that his exile was a decision of spending time away.
He would spend some time living in Beregost, keeping track on Arenia and Edaena's family (the heir was their cousin). A few years before the events of Baldur's Gate, Garren would ask him to help in an attack against a temple of Bhaal. Garren has befriended Gorion and the initial plan was that Garren would hold any of the attackers off, while Gorion and Kolnath take the twins. However, when Kolnath saw Sarevok, he felt that there was an evil in the other's eyes just like Irenicus. His own plan was to wait for Gorion and Garren to leave in order for him to kill Sarevok, but he would be caught off-guard by Sarevok, who almost succeeded in killing him if not for Dahlia.
Kolnath would spend a few years with Dahlia in Beregost, before sending her to an academy in Baldur's Gate. He does care,and to a certain extent, love her, but he was still afraid to care for her very deeply, especially because of her much shorter life span. After they parted ways, he returnedo guard the Underdark exist once more before returning to help the effort with Suldanessellar.
Possible Baldur's Gate 3 apperance
After Dahlia's capture and disappearance, Kolnath would travel to Baldur's Gate in an attempt of discovering what happened to her. He then stayed there in order to monitor the growing cult of Bhaal. Throughout the years, he would possibly launch several attacks on both Sarevok and the cult.
He and Dahlia might finally meet again due to Isela (Tav), where he admit that he feels very guilty for never truly looking after her due to him being emotionally distant. Dahlia will help him to come to term with this by telling him that she is very happy with her life and it is his influence that prevents her from being evil despite the opportunity she has with Raphael.
Additional notes
Due to him being an elf (a very young one too) this actually make him a very flexible character that can be involved across the various stories. His age and heritage then make him the longest surviving member of the party. The only other elf, Garren, would be a century or so older. While both Twilight and Ravewyn managed to die of old age, them being human and half elf meant that he outlived them by many more years. But the saddest thing is that even though he knows the time he has with both Arenia (and to a certain extent, Edaena, who he regard as a sister) would be short, it was cut off very abruptly. Unlike Garren, who has long accepted that his family could never understand or accept his way of living, he still had problems with dealing with this.
The illustration
Kolnath is kneeling at the ruined temple where Arenia and Edaena both died. The drawing having two different types of flower then show that it is not just Arenia he is mourning for, but also the woman he loved as a sister. I can't remember what style this picture is, but I really like how the majority of the image is a pale colour, with the flowers being the only vibrant colours. The twins' death is not just the loss of the two that he love, but the start of the group heading to their separate ways. As I said, despite this being something that he knows would happen due to his longer life span, it is even more bitter due to it happening much earlier then it ought to be.

[meet the prisoners!] prisoner 003: ishizu shun!
Tumblr media
ohhh he is so pathetic. i'm not even sure if i mean it in an affectionate way or like. i really do think he's pathetic.
(also yes i accidentally named two of my ocs after the canon prisoners' vas and at first i panicked and tried to think of something different, but i decided to keep these names, because it's kinda funny, especially because this boy's personality reminds me of haruka a lot and. well. prisoner 002 is not like kotoko AT ALL)
also i did mention that these guys have "canon verdicts" but i'd love to see what you guys think about him, because i really don't know if he would be voted innocent or guilty, haha. honestly most of my ocs would be voted guilty. it's okay they deserve it
(prisoner 001's profile)
(prisoner 002's profile)
Warning: mentions of derealization, an unhealthy relationship dynamic and questionable coping mechanisms.
General info:
Name: Ishizu Shun (石津 俊) (kanjis in his last name mean "stone" and "harbor" and kanji in his first name means "talented")
Age: 24 y/o
Gender: Male
Status: Prisoner 003
Birthday: July 13 (Cancer)
Height: 185 cm (i know he doesn't look like it but. he really is tall)
Blood type: O
Image color: #ECD4FF
Occupation: Fast food worker
Personality: Shun is one of the weirdest prisoners here. At first he just seems like someone who's very shy, has low self-confidence and gets scared easily, but when you get to know him better, you realize that this guy's brain works in a very strange way. Shun forgets things very easily, if he screams and you ask him what scared him so much, he will most likely just go ".. I don't remember". He also often feels like nothing around him is real and he often asks other prisoners or guards if they really are in Milgram right now or he's just dreaming. He looks lost and confused most of the time and he often ends up in very awkward situations. He's even more clumsy than Prisoner 002 and it's hard for him to see because of his hair, however, he still refuses to get a haircut for some reason. He refuses to do anything that might help him get better, like taking care of himself or even simply watching where he's going. It also should be mentioned that he doesn't remember only the things that made him feel bad in some way, for example, something that scared him or made him cry. If something makes him smile or laugh, he will still remember it well. He also often says the most random things in the middle of a conversation and even though at first some prisoners thought that he's just not good at paying attention, they later found out that he can perfectly understand what others are talking about, but he will still talk about something else instead.
MV info:
Which canon Milgram song he would cover: Throw Down. I also thought about Half but you see.. the Throw Down visuals fit his crime better :) And This Is How To Be In Love You is way too cheerful for someone like him, haha.
Which DECO*27 song he would cover: Dilemma.
If he could cover a song by a different Vocaloid producer, which one would it be: OHHHH I KNOW WHICH SONG I WANT HIM TO COVER but it perfectly describes his entire crime so.. I feel like it would work better as a Trial 2 (or even Trial 3) song. So for this trial I'll go with Karakuri Pierrot by 40meterP! Come on, boy, sing a sad love song for us.
His MV description: His MV would most likely have colors like dark shades of green, teal and blue, but it also would slowly start becoming more and more glitchy, so it would also have colors like bright red or purple. His MV would also look.. kind of weird, it's supposed to make the viewer feel anxious and feel like nothing in this video is real and Shun actually never did anything like this.
In the beginning, his MV would feel like the viewer is watching him through the cameras and we're supposed to observe him. We can see Shun checking his calendar and getting excited. He leaves the room and now he's in the kitchen and we're watching him through a different camera. It looks like he's trying to bake a cake, but he has no idea what to do, so he tries to look up something on his phone. However, for some reason he gets distracted and we can see him standing there and just scrolling, while his eyes become more and more empty. When he's done, he looks like he's about to cry, but then the POV changes and we're no longer watching him through the cameras, we see everything from Shun's perspective. We can see a bright red error message appearing right in front of him and if you look closer, you can notice it saying "Get back to work. Everything is fine" in a smaller font.
He keeps trying to bake a cake and he's slowly getting better at it, but he still gets distracted while doing it. We go back to watching him and we can see him looking at his ceiling, checking his phone every five seconds and going back to his room to check the closet for some reason and when he does so, he smiles and waves at.. someone hiding in there, maybe? More and more error messages keep appearing in front of him and they all say things like "None of this has ever happened" or "You have no reason to worry about this". The video starts becoming more glitchy and we can notice some things looking more blurry. For example, we can see Shun texting someone, but we can't see their name and their replies to his texts. However, we can still see Shun's messages. "I still want to spend this day with you though." "I know that we're no longer dating, but.." "I thought that maybe you can come and visit me today?" "You know.. we can just hang out as friends! I won't ask you to come back to me, I promise." Shun also has a lot of photos in his room, but all of them look extremely blurry.
When Shun is finally done with the cake, it doesn't look that great, but it's clear that he worked hard on it. He looks proud and right when he leaves the kitchen while holding a cake, he looks very happy at first, but then for some reason he ends up looking.. disappointed. Turns out that he has not one, but two guests and we can't even see one of them because of a huge error message. We can definitely see another guest though and he looks like a tall attractive dark-haired man who's holding another person's hand. But judging from his face expression, he doesn't look like the nicest person. Shun panics and he doesn't know what to do and suddenly everything around him becomes red and you can see exclamation marks everywhere and messages that say "Something is wrong, but don't worry about it". For a second you can see one of the messages saying "YOU are wrong, but don't worry about it". Everything goes black for a moment and the song stops playing as well. After that, the POV changes again and now we see everything from Shun's "error" guest perspective. He is smiling and eating a cake that he made and right when the guest looks at their boyfriend who's lying on the floor, Shun comes closer to them and closes something that looks like closet doors while still smiling. We can't see anything after that and the MV ends.
His Trailer 1 Voicelines:
"Um.. wait, d-do I have to introduce myself? I.. uh.. m-my name is Ishizu Shun, I guess.. Listen, I really d-don't think I should be here. I didn't do anything wrong, I swear! I just wanted to protect the person I love, that's all! I'm sure she misses me a lot too.."
"Oh.. so she forgot about our anniversary.." *sighs* "I just.. I wish she cared about me as much as I care about her."
Trivia.
He really wants to be voted innocent and the thought of getting voted guilty terrifies him.
He claims that he didn't commit any other crimes except murder but one of the guards doesn't believe him because he thinks this guy is way too suspicious.
He's surprisingly close with Prisoner 005, even though their personalities are so different. Prisoner 005 tries to help him open up and he also asked one of the guards to bring him a notebook so that he can give it to Shun as a gift. He thought that Shun would find that notebook useful because he can write down everything that happened during a day there so that he won't forget anything later.. but Shun also forgot that he has to write in that notebook.
Shun isn't really close with any other prisoners except Prisoner 005, however, Prisoner 006 is also very interested in him and she mentioned that if it wasn't for him having a girlfriend, she would definitely date him. He doesn't know how to feel about that though.
Shun's hair is dyed and his real hair color is dark purple. He dyed it before he got a girlfriend and he hoped that women will find him more attractive and interesting after that.
Nobody knows what Shun's eyes really look like because of his hairstyle, except one of the prisoners and they said that his eyes are completely empty and it actually makes him look like he's already dead. They think it's cute though.
One of the guards thinks that Shun intentionally forces himself to forget about the things he doesn't want to remember and that's how he copes with his stress. And considering how anxious he always is, that explains why his memory is so bad, literally anything can make him feel stressed and he just forgets about everything so that he doesn't have to worry about it.. or maybe he just pretends to forget things. Who knows. Maybe he really is smarter than he looks like.

Hello, this is the first time I’ve come here and I’d like, if possible, you could place my order, I don’t remember if I already placed that ask or something, so if yes, sorry to bother you...
I can order something with Yandere! Vampire with a Vampire Slayer! Reader, please...
Tumblr media
Welcome in!
Well yes boo, you did make a very similar request, and I'm sorry if it took me like a long time to answer you (at least to me it feels like a whole month has passed, time has been so slow and so fast somehow-) it's just that I'm dealing with a lot of stuff outside of Tumblr and although I try to not think about it, it does affect my performance in writing. Also you're not bothering me at all boo!
Also I just realized something, normally when I write I put really mean remarks about the reader but it's not supposed to be taken seriously by you guys, as it's mostly either an look into the perspective of the ocs (normally the bullies who are very mean and cruel-) or even an exaggeration on the reader's current mind state (if the reader feels dumb about a certain action they have chosen, I try to make them sound very exaggerated since I don't want any of you to take it personally, y'all are beautiful okay? Don't worry about the snarky comments and rude remarks that I may write).
I'll try to make it more obvious that it's mostly a character's exaggerated perspective next time, or maybe put trigger warnings about degrading language/mean comments.
TW/Tags: mentions of addiction (to blood) // male x male // male reader // vampy vamp // monster(vampire) x (human)reader // mentions of death // unofficial OC/just a random character I decided to create for this specific piece // captivity/kidnaping // mentions of torture/infliction of pain // mind control/gaslighting/manipulation and stockholm syndrome // being drugged/poisoned // kinda sadistic but not so much so cause I like giving y'all some softness.

True love is found in small bites [Yandere!M!Vampire x M!Vampire Hunter!Reader - Headcanon]:
Who doesn't like a little one on one with an immortal creature in a fight filled with sexual tension? Who wouldn't want to prove their worth to their dad who is a lonely vampire hunter?
Your dad had hunted vampires all by himself for years now and he won't stop until the day he drops dead, or at least that's what he told you.
He taught you everything that you needed to know, and honestly- You probably know a lot more than some of the guys who are paid to do this every month, Hell, your dad hunts them basically every week! That's kinda the reason why he won't accompany you this time, too busy dealing with vampires in a neighboring village, some rumours of some high profiled vampires coming into your hometown… He was very concerned for your safety before deciding that whenever these rumours were true or not, he needed to check them for himself regardless.
You decided to go on a hunt on your own, hunt one down and prove to your man that you'll do just fine all by yourself.
However, you have the knowledge from the books you read and from what your father taught you, but you don't have personal experiences in fighting vampires. So that's why you're finally going to take down a vampire all by yourself.
It took you some time to find the right target, but after hearing complaints about some odd things happening in the less wealthy part of town, you thought you had a pretty clear picture of what happened. You thought that maybe some vampires have been attacking the poorest people in town to not cause a bigger panic in the population, and sadly enough, you were right.
Apparently the vampirism started to spread uncontrollably as the newly transformed vampires weren't accustomed with the new malevolent power. Some would get addicted to blood and to the power they hold against humans, and start to bite more than what they can chew on.
You found someone who was acting suspiciously, a commoner who was acting more aggressively towards his neighbors and family, he had created a lot of enemies in only a couple of days after being transformed, as he was now acting like "royalty" surrounded by peasants. The poor bastard was out of his mind, and sadly you needed to take care of him before he would hurt more people.
The work of a vampire slayer (or at least, one who works on their own accord) isn't as glamorous or "pleasant" as most may think, it involves you constantly questioning yourself and your morals, the guy you're hunting has a family but from what you heard and from what you have seen as you observed him from afar- He is clearly gone, consumed by the addiction of human blood, he would end up hurting his own family if you didn't intervene.
You had to stalk him for basically the whole day, collecting information and waiting for a good opportunity to strike him- Sadly enough, you didn't know that someone else was also interested in killing him.
It was pretty quick now that you think about it- You were about to tackle him when someone else got to do it before you. You didn't know about vampire society's inner relationships but you are aware that there is some form of hierarchy, and that those who were transformed into vampires were considered to be closer to the bottom than those who were born into it. The bottom of their social structure being those who they could all feed on, so in other words humans.
As you have already prepared yourself to attack the blood addictic, this guy who seemed to have come out of nowhere has already noticed that he wasn't alone, you wouldn't be able to hide yourself at this point and running wouldn't be an option considering how fast he moved.
The only option was left was to fight this vampire who was clearly way too powerful for your newbie ass. It was a pretty tough fight, and even if you have lost- You did manage to prove that you weren't just a random human who found themselves in the wrong place, in the wrong time.
You were very well prepared- Idris was pretty impressed by your resistance, but from his eyes, you were lacking a lot in the intelligence department. You were a good brawler, but not a decent vampire slayer by far- He would question you about your level of skill constantly, even mocking the idea of you being an "newbie" at this job.
Idris had won in the end, making you his prisoner who he would bring back to his clan to be used as an easy food source while also giving them info about other vampire slayers. Of course you wouldn't give them anything, no matter how bad your situation was you would still fight to the very end.
Idris had used one of his abilities to bring you two to his clan's hideout in a blink of an eye, you weren't expecting it to be so quick. You were tied up and inside an "abandoned" mansion filled with vampires, you were sure you wouldn't survive this at all- Yet you had promised yourself to not give them any information about other vampires slayers, especially your father.
You have met them, all of them- All of the Nox clan of pure vampires (or at least the last of them), in one single place. They were all so eager to jump in and start the "fun" with you. To torture you, drink from you, control your mind so you would spill all that you know, they tried to but you wouldn't stop squirming and fighting their touch- However, your attitude has only helped to aggravate them.
Idris was in charge of taking care of you- And by that they meant he was the one who would be screwing with you the most. He would keep you alive with your bare necessities but would also be the one to punish and torture you to speak up.
Interestingly enough, Idris wasn't interested in violently taking the truth out of you- Oh no, boo- He was much more sadistic than that.
He saw you as a plaything, like a cat he would see you as something he should toy with before devouring- He would try to push you to your limits verbally, trying to trigger some sort of wound you may have. You were stronger than he assumed, he should have known you weren't so dumb to give in to his insults and threats.
He would still bite you though, hey, a man needs some blood before continuing his private interrogation, right? It's not his fault you're both his snack and the one being interrogated.
You were strong minded, you weren't feeling too awful about being taken as a prisoner, since you felt as if deep down you could still escape this- So the effects of the poison that he would inject on you weren't showing up at first, but after sometime of being under this terrible living condition with only him to talk with, you started to feel some type of weird way around him.
It could be the poison finally taking over, but you have started to notice some… Particular choices that Idris took when interacting with you. Again- It could be all some magic shit in your mind, but you could swear that the lingering touches from him weren't rough or painful as his threats.
Idris was never physically harmful towards you, even to his peers dismay as they would constantly scold him for being too soft. He was indeed very off putting and sadistic- But could he be hiding something deep inside his literally cold exterior? You started to think so… Well, you started to hope so.
See, although the poison is already making your mind dizzy and making you feel some kind of weird attraction towards Iris- It wasn't completely just your mind playing tricks on you, Idris has been trying a new tactic with you and it was working.
Maybe you haven't noticed yet, but for the last few weeks he has started to flirt with you more, touch you more and whisper less concerning things into your ears, and you were eating it all up due to your isolation and his poisonous bite.
The more he sucked your blood, the more enamoured you were with his softer "side", the poison becoming stronger with each bite. But everyday you two spend time together, Idris can't help but feel just as interested in you as you are to him. He may play it off as a sadistic manipulative (which he kinda is-) vampire who is above you and his own feelings- But whenever it's just you and him, he just feels like there is a bigger connection being formed.
The more you two get to know each other the more he'll start falling for you, to the point he doesn't know if he is faking empathy and care or if he actually likes you in a weird way. He has started to feel very satisfied whenever you start acting clingy, desperate even for his attention (again- He is the only one willing to even talk with you before biting you and sucking your blood), the sensation of power he feels is a little bit overwhelming- But very much appreciated.
You have started to feel some side effects from losing so much blood everyday, which has made Idris concerned and incapable of drinking from you for at least some time while you recover from it. But since you need some time to rest without being injected with more venom from fangs, which will cause you to start waking up from your brainwashed state and remember that A: It has been months since you were gone, your dad is out there looking for you and it's possibly thinking you're dead; B: You're trapped in a mansion filled with the last vampires of a powerful clan which has been massacred by vampire slayers like you; and C: You were starting to catch feelings for the one who brought you here- Regardless of manipulation and freaky vampire shit- You were indeed falling for his charm.
Whenever that happens, it will be obvious that you'll start trying to fight them and escape again, even if you're very, very weak from all these months without proper training and healthy eating habits.
You may try your hardest dear, but you'll need a better plan than just going feral on Idris. He is a lot stronger than you, especially since you can't even stand up on your own, and even hurting him makes you feel oddly awful- You had relied on him for so long, that it feels like you would be betraying him if you actually do hurt him, it seems like some of the effects of so much time under his manipulation are still present.
You can't hurt him, but you can still try to sneak out. You should still try to escape!
You would eventually come up with a plan to run away while it was still morning, even if it was a very flawed plan considering that the only place you knew in this entire mansion was Idris's room and bathroom. For some miracle reason, you would find a way to sneak out, it was pretty hard considering you have no strength in your legs, yet luckily no one seemed to be aware of your sudden movement around the corridors- Apparently the whole clan is composed of heavy sleepers.
Your escape was successful, but you wouldn't be able to reach safety anytime soon in your condition- And you knew that eventually they would wake up again and Idris would find you soon. Yet as you had promised yourself and your father, you weren't going down without a fight.
Idris is responsible for you, so whenever he notices that you were gone- He would first assume one of his kind has took you, but considering how everyone else in the clan considers him to be a nuisance and incompetent, he couldn't possibly ask around where were you. If he did, they would end up yelling at him and take you as their personal blood bag- He couldn't let them know that you have escaped.
He would search for you and be honest to god thankful that you weren't dead yet- He would be pissed but more concerned about your current state, after all you were supposed to be resting from losing so much blood and yet here you are: Trying to survive the wild nature around the mansion in a stupid attempt of escaping the vampires.
Idris would have to bite you more often while also giving some days off so you could rest, but doing in a way that you never lose the effects of the poison- He can't stand to see you fighting him so much.
I mean- He thinks that it's pretty attractive how fiesty you are, but he needs you to stay still in his bedroom and to start giving him those confused yet passionate eyes again- Idris doesn't know whether or not you're in love with him or is just acting in instinct considering your current position, and he soon will find himself begging for you to truly give in to this weird fantasy he has built around you two- But for now, all that he wants is the smallest affection that may come from you, even if it's not as true and morally correct as true love is supposed to be.

I don't know. Might further the plot.?
Male Reader x Avengers Cast
Request- Do you think you could make a Avengers cast X Male reader & his talking about his past & saying his been in juvenile detention & jail cause he had a rough childhood & his friend (oc) always helped him and stayed by his side & helped him get into drama class & he was good at it & now his new movie is coming out & it's about helping his character with his depression, suicidal thoughts & he meets his love interest who becomes his girlfriend in real life & her character helps him through depression
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Your childhood was rough because your father would hit you physically and mentally abuse you. Your mother would do the same, also she would call you horrible names. Your father is known for selling drugs and always gambling. Your mother is a drunk and always high on drugs. You barely went to school and if you did you would cause problems.
You have always been on a rough path, your rap sheet is long as the train tracks. You didn't go to school often because you were in juvenile detention, many people gave up on you. When your turned eighteenth, you were in and out of jail. Since your parents didn't care for you they didn't pay for your bail. The longest sentence you did in prison was eight years.
After getting out of prison, you packed what you had left, took the van, and stole from your parents. You stole your dad’s pot to make quick cash.
As days went on you slept in your van. You would sell pot, with that money you would buy food and fill up the van. It's the middle of the night and you are sleeping, your best friend John Krasinski, banged on the van. You opened the door and you tackled him to the ground.
”Dude it's me!!!” John yelled.
You were about to punch him.
”What the fuck!?” You yelled.
You get off him and he gets off the ground.
”You almost gave a heart attack!!” You yelled.
It's freezing because it's November.
”I heard what happened. I came to get you and tell you to move in with me” John said.
You and John Krasinski have been friends for a long time. You trust him and only him. He has been there for you many times and never left your side.
”I don't know men. I can't even pay rent on time and I won't get a job from nine to five” You said.
”Just move in before you freeze to death,” John said.
”Fine,” You said.
-----
The next day, you start to help John run his lines. He is trying out for a role on a show called the office. You always help him run his lines, even in high school when he tried to the school play. He told you to try out for the school play but you said no.
”Y/N, you should really get into acting. You are really good and you should think about being an actor” John said.
”Don’t lie to me,” You said.
”I’m serious. With more training then you will become a better actor. I think you should take a shot at it. Now you are not doing anything with your life, take a chance” John said.
You have always been into acting but never took it seriously. You start to think and you are unsure what he said.
”I will think about it,” You said.
”Okay. Give me a ride?” John said.
”Yeah sure,” You said.
John goes to acting classes also he pays for you to go. At first, you hesitated to go but you didn't have money to pay for the classes. But you promised him that you will pay him back later on.
✧ ✯ ✧ ✫
John has been helping you become a better actor. But he can't help all the time because he has his own life. You get one role for acting but it was to be an extra, you took it paid $200.
You tried out for a role to start in an Iron man movie, it was for a small role but you didn't get it. And you can't afford to do headshots.
”What’s your name?” He asked.
”Y/N... I really like your movies, ” You said.
”I saw your audition. I see you have potential but you need acting lessons” Robert said.
”I can't afford it. Most times, I sleep in my van and doing random jobs” You said.
You watched every single movie that Robert Downey Jr. Did.
”I will help you and I will be your mentor,” Robert said.
”No way!!” You sad very loud.
You can't stop smiling and he is serious. You are still speechless and can't stop smiling. Later, you told John about it and he is happy for you. Robert will let you live with him but you told him, to repay him back you will do chores around the house.
-----
You are happy that you get to sleep in a new bed. Every day he gives you lessons for acting. He tells how to bring the characters to life and cry on cue. You always run lines with him and he tells you what you do wrong.
” Besides my best friend, you are the only one who ever believed in me,” You said.
He hugged you and you did cry a little bit, he starts to rub your back.
”It’s okay. Let it all out. You are a good person, you are the only one that has control for your future” Robert said.
You wipe the tears away.
”That means a lot,” You said with a small smile.
✧ ✯ ✧ ✫
You have been getting small roles on tv shows and some indie movies. You always give it your all and you keep improving in each role you get.
You got your big break to appear in The Avengers in the first movie. You got the role of Marcus "Marc" Milton aka Hyperion.
Hyperion possesses great physical strength. Between 75 and 100 tons. Marcus Milton was able to hold two piles of the earth apart to prevent them from colliding with each other for a period of time, confront the Hulk blow-for-blow until the Hulk reverted back to human form. He also does not require air, food, or water to survive as long as his body absorbs Solar energy. Also, he is a Trucker, adventurer, vigilante, former teacher.
---
But you didn't have a role in Avengers: Age of Ultron. For the first movie, you invited John to the movie premiere.
With the cast, you get along with them really well. Sometimes play pranks each other, make each other laugh during sets, and more. You and Robert still have a good relationship, he is still your mentor. John always supports you in any role you get. During an interview, you said you hope gets a role in a Marvel movie.
✧ ✯ ✧ ✫
You decided to take a chance to make your own movie. It took a while for your script to be completed. You meet Elizabeth Olsen for the first time and she got the lead role. She will play your love interest in the movie.
While shooting the movie during sets and offset, you and Elizabeth would spend time together. She does invite you to her house and you always yes. Always making each other laugh and you like to stare at her green eyes.
”You should help me cook more often,” Elizabeth said.
You laughed.
”Only to help you. My parents never taught me how to cook or taught me anything positive” You said.
”You still don't talk to your parents?” Elizabeth asked.
”No. They did contact me two months ago, pretending they care about me. They only called because I am famous. I don't want to give them a second chance, they made my childhood a living hell” You said.
She hugged you and it caught you off guard, but you did hug her back. Later, you and Elizabeth eat dinner outside in the backyard and kept talking. Later, she taught you how to make smores and you love it.
-----
You and Elizabeth go to the beach because it's very hot in California. You start to help put sunblock on Elizabeth’s back and the paparazzi take pictures of everything.
You told her you don't know how to swim, she decided to teach you how to swim. She teaches you the basics and how to breathe underwater. You come out of the water and you start to cough. She starts to pat your back.
”Did you swallow the water?” Elizabeth asked.
You nod and coughed again.
”Y-yeah. It's hard to breathe underwater” You sad.
”It’s not and I will keep teaching you,” Elizabeth said.
Again she teaches you how to breathe underwater. The paparazzi take pictures of when she kissed you.
----
Working on a movie that is dark, you and Elizabeth try to make each other laugh. She would take pictures with you and post it on her Instagram account. You are sitting down on your chair and you are using your phone. She takes a picture of you and writes something.
So cute when he is focused 😍
✧ ✯ ✧ ✫
You did appear in the other movies Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. Now you go on promo tours with the cast, it's always fun with them. You did talk about your character Hyperion.
”i will appear in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki. But I won't say what will happen for now” You said.
”Can you tell us about your new movie?” He asked.
You nod.
”My character has depression and he is suicidal. He meets his love interest who becomes his girlfriend, who is played by, Elizabeth Olsen and her character helps him through everything. It's hard for him to believe that anyone truly cares for him and she proves that she does care for him. Robert also worked on the movie has a co-writer and producer” You said.
”Is everyone invited to the movie premiere?” He asked.
”Of course not. I don't get along with them, they are such divas and horrible to work with” You joked.
Everyone starts to laugh.
”Why are you laughing? It's true” You said.
”I hate Y/N, I'm so happy I won't see him again. And I won't go to his movie premiere” Scarlett Johansson joked.
”I agree with her” Chris Evans joked.
”You have to tell us. Are you really Elizabeth Olsen’s boyfriend?” He asked.
”I knew you two were going to end up dating,” Jeremy said.
”Is it true?” He asked.
”Yeah-”
”How did you even ask her to be your girlfriend?” Mark asked.
”She lost a bet in Uno, duh. How else I would be her boyfriend” and you are serious about it.
That didn't happen.
----
You are finally home and Elizabeth is staying the night over. You do enjoy cooking together with her. You and Elizabeth watch the new movie Scoob while eating dinner.
”I saw the interview,” Elizabeth said.
”What do you think?” You asked.
She laughed and drinks her wine.
”Can't believe I lost in Uno and we are stuck together” Elizabeth teased.
You and Elizabeth laughed.
”You could have won if cheated but it's not my fault you lost” You winked.
”You are such a doofus” Elizabeth laughed.
You laughed too. Elizabeth again stole a hoodie from you. It's cold and she loves wearing your hoodies, you like how she looks in it so you don't say anything about it.
✧ ✯ ✧ ✫
Since you said Elizabeth lost in Uno, when she does interviews they ask her about it. She goes along with it.
The night of the movie premiere, Robert and the others arrived to support you. Everyone posed for the cameras, you are not serious because you are making everyone laugh.

Plight of the Cadhads
Tumblr media
Thranduil interrogates Thorin and Thranduil’s wife comes to see what’s going on.
MASTERLIST
OC Used:  Enyalie
Word Count:  1,415
Translations are at the bottom (Cadhad is ‘Dwarf’ is Síndarin).
~~~~
The moment those Dwarves were brought through the gates of our Kingdom, I knew that there would be trouble.  And no, I don't mean that in the same sense as my husband would.  He was the one I worried about causing trouble...
Ever since those Dwarves had 'stolen' the White Gems of Lasgalen, He'd had a massive grudge against their entire Race.  Thranduil--my sometimes foolish husband--was the champion grudge holder in all of Mirkwood.
As soon as I heard that Thranduil had brought the leader of the group of Dwarves before him; someone called Thorin who claimed that he was the rightful King of Erebor; that Lonely Mountain, I hurried to the throne room.  If I knew my husband, he would most likely do some sort of rash thing and embarrass himself yet again...
The soft white silk of my gown trailed behind me as I strode through the cavernous halls of Mirkwood's Palace.  It was so hauntingly beautiful, even if it did sometimes seem like a forbidding place due to the dark creatures and tentacles of Sauron growing ever closer to our once green forest.
At one time our forest had been beautiful and green, the trees growing straight and healthy like they should.  But now we had been plunged into shadow, hence the name of Mirkwood.
As I drew ever nearer, I began to hear snippets of the two males talking.  I couldn't help the smile that teased across my lips as I heard Thranduil's rich tones contrasted against the Dwarf's deep, gravelly voice.  
"...I offer you my help."  I could hear Thranduil say, and my ears, long used to Thranduil's different tones, detected the hidden meaning behind his words.  This was a onetime offer, something that he would only extend in exchange for something of great value.
The Dwarf answered, sounding quite confident.  "I am listening."  
At that moment, I stepped through the great double doors of Thranduil's--our--throne room and swept quickly to my husband's side.  
He was standing a few feet away from a short, stocky Dwarf that wore animals furs over his leather vest, which contrasted with Thranduil's silver robes of the finest quality fabric in Arda; and measured against the Dwarf's lack of height, Thranduil appeared even taller than his 6'5" frame.  
As he caught sight of me, Thranduil let out an annoyed sigh, even as a smile tugged at his lips.  "Enyalie, man ech cared sí?  Ain ist hen Cadhad, Melleth nin."  He murmured, extending a hand to me.  
Smiling brightly at him, I took the offered hand, allowing him to draw me closer to his side.  "Ain cened an hannas osmain gwain gadors, hervenn nín."  I said softly, making him shake his head.  
"Is ed alech uir?  Hí, go' a awarth im di hen Cadhad.  Hen is alpedan cîn lhewegs, bain er."  He said, making me frown.  
Before I could speak, he motioned for me to leave, the rings on his hand sparkling brightly in the rays of sunlight that streamed down from the ceiling, before turning back to the Dwarf.  "I will let you go, if you but return what is mine."  He said loftily to the Dwarf, watching him with piercing blue eyes.  
The Dwarf cocked his head, his long black hair that was sprinkled with grey falling to the side as he raised an eyebrow.  "A favour for a favour."
Thranduil nodded, drawing closer to the Dwarf.  "You have my word.  One King to another."  He said, and I resisted the urge to ask what he was promising in return for the gems.  Eru knew just what lengths Thranduil would go to retrieve them.
But then the Dwarf spoke again, in a harsh, condemning tone.  "I would not trust, Thranduil, the great King, to only his word.  Till the end of all days be upon us!"  He cried loudly, blue eyes flashing.
Thranduil drew away, looking visibly shocked at the Dwarf's words.  But the Dwarf was not done speaking.  "You lack all honour!  I have seen how you treat your friends!  We came to you once, starving, homeless; seeking your help.  But you turned your back!  You, turned away from the suffering of my people and the inferno that destroyed us!"  He screamed, and instantly, I felt his pain.  
The Dwarf had known much hardship, much pain.  He had gone to the only place he could to ask for help, and it was denied to him.  We had turned him away to fend for himself in a cruel world.  
Staring Thranduil straight in the eye, the Dwarf growled out a sentence in a foreign language that I did not recognize.  
"Imrid amrâd ursul!"
Thranduil obviously recognized it, I surmised as he reacted violently to the growled words.  He flew straight towards the Dwarf, coming nose-to-nose with him as the magic that hid his horrific burns slowly faded away, revealing the gruesome sight to the Dwarf's eyes.
"Do not speak to me of dragon fire!  I know its wrath and ruin.  I have faced the great serpents of the North."  He hissed, breathing heavily.
I rushed to his side, pushing him away from the Dwarf.  “Thranduil, glaen torn, melleth nin."  But Thranduil casually brushed me aside, looking down at the Dwarf with a lordly expression.  
"I warned your grandfather of what his greed would summon, but he would not listen."  He said, turning slowly away from the Dwarf and striding towards me, his silver cape flowing behind him.  "You are just like him."  
He motioned for a guard to grab hold of the Dwarf as he neared my side, placing a gentle hand on my arm and drawing me away towards the throne.  "Toldan o han saw, Enyalie, Bereth Nín.  E baw baur minan mi cîn sad."  Thranduil murmured quietly, but I could not move.  I could only watch as the Dwarf struggled violently against the guards holding him in place, waiting for their King's next orders.  
Another gentle tug from Thranduil had me turning away to walk beside him.  Ever the gentleman, Thranduil led me up the steps of his throne, careful not to let his trailing cape get in my way.  
Halfway up, he stopped, pausing long enough to raise his head high and look down at the Dwarf.  "Stay here if you will, and rot.  A hundred years is a mere blink in the life of an Elf.  I'm patient.  I can wait."  He said loudly, a smirk tugging at his lips as he spoke.
With that, the Dwarf was drug away, still struggling, back to the cells where Tauriel, the captain of the guard and Legolas--our son--would guard him tonight.  
Once we were alone, Thranduil turned towards me, looking back over his shoulder.  "Well, my beloved, now that that matter is taken care of, I am free to do whatever you wish this afternoon."  He said, blue eyes twinkling lovingly down at me.
I smiled halfheartedly up at him.  The plight of the Dwarf and his companions would not leave my mind.  I only wished I could have done something to help him, but Thranduil was a stubborn ellon.  
In most cases, I probably could have asked and he would have granted me anything in the world, but when it came down to Dwarves, he refused to let me do anything to help them; his grudge ran too deep, blinding him.  
"Enyalie?"  Thranduil's voice pierced my thoughts, bringing me back to the present.  He was looking at me, his smile a bit concerned now.
I reached a hand out to brush his long silver hair back over his shoulder, the action being one Thranduil only allowed me to do, the silly elf.  He detested anyone but me touching his hair in any way.  He said it was because it knotted easily, but I thought he was just being picky.
"We should get ready for the Feast of Starlight.  It will take me several hours to get ready, and I know you'll take the same amount of time, if not longer, Thranduil."  I said, my voice becoming teasing.
Thranduil nodded, chuckling slightly at my poking fun at him.  "Of course, My love.  You always seem to know best."  He murmured fondly.  
With that, I pulled away from him and made my way carefully down the long, winding staircase of his throne.  Thranduil hurried after me, making me smile.  If I hadn't said anything, he would have left it to the last minute and become stressed since he didn't allow himself enough time to get ready.  
That was why I was his Queen in the first place...  To keep him out of trouble.  Although, I did marry him for a bit more than that.  He was quite charming when he wanted to be.
Enyalie, what are you doing here?  I am interrogating(knowledge) this Dwarf, My love--Enyalie, man ech cared sí?  Ain ist hen Cadhad, Melleth nin.
I was(am) curious (looking for understanding) about our new prisoners, my husband--Ain cened an hannas osmain gwain gadors, hervenn nín.
Aren't you always?  Now, go and leave (abandon) me with this Dwarf.  This is not talk for your ears, fair one--Is ed alech uir?  Hí, go' a awarth im di hen Cadhad.  Hen is alpedan cîn lhewegs, bain er.
Calm down-- Glaen torn
Come away from that filth, Enyalie, My queen.  He does not deserve (have) to be in your presence (place)--Toldan o han saw, Enyalie, Bereth Nín.  E baw baur minan mi cîn sad

ONE WEEK LATER
ELMENHAM, THE LONGHOUSE
Oswald threw an incredulous stare at Eivor upon hearing the news, unable to deny the doubt that was settling into his mind.
“The ealdorman of Wedenscire did this?” He asked. “Are you certain?”
Eivor shrugged, fidgeting with his axe as he relaxed in a chair.
“That’s what Gjuki tells me. There is still much information to be uncovered when it comes to the nature of this ambush, but based on what he has brought to me so far, I think it’s safe to assume that Aegenwulf was involved with the attack at the very least.”
The king placed his hands on his hips and began to pace around the room. “I just... I find it difficult to believe that he would act so brazenly -- especially in the middle of a war, no less. Aegenwulf has never been fond of the Danes, that is true, but he is a man of honor; a man of God. If he truly is behind the attack on Ravensthorpe, why would he do such a thing? What reason could he have to treat your people in such a way?”
Eivor sighed, tracing the edge of his blade. “I do not yet know, but his crimes go beyond what happened at Ravensthorpe. He also has my brother.”
That caught Oswald’s attention. “Aegenwulf has Sigurd? Is he holding him prisoner?”
“Not officially, but he may as well be. I have only heard fragments of the entire situation in Forangal, but Gjuki tells me Sigurd is slowly being brainwashed. He bears their sigil, and raises a blade in the ealdorman’s name. He obeys Aegenwulf’s every word, and apparently, has expressed some hesitation in terms of going along with my plans to assault the fortress. There are even whispers that he might convert to Christianity soon. They are turning him into a thrall.”
The Saxon king shook his head in sympathy, gazing blankly at the floor. “I’m... so sorry, Eivor. You’ve made it quite clear how much Sigurd means to you. I can’t imagine what it’s like watching a loved one lose sense of who they are. I wish I could make all this go away with a snap of my fingers, but we’ll need more men if we are to breach the walls of Forangal Castle.”
Eivor rose from his seat, sliding his axe back into its sheathe. “Have no fear, Oswald. We will have the forces we need soon enough. I have just finished securing an alliance in Eurvicscire. A couple more, and we should be ready to get Sigurd back.”
“Good. In the meantime, I will do all I can to prepare. A fragile peace hangs over East Anglia, but if there’s any chance we can save your brother, I’ll be there when you call for me. So will Valdis.”
“Thank you, Oswald.” Eivor said sincerely. “I know I’m asking a lot, but if we don’t rescue Sigurd from Forangal, he could end up dead. Or worse.”
“I understand. This is not something we can simply let go. If Aegenwulf really is at the heart of all this, we must bring him to justice. He has the blood of many innocents on his hands, and that cannot go unpunished.”
Oswald strolled back to his throne, finally having a seat after a long day of work.
“Carry on with your plans, Eivor. I will inform Valdis of what is to come. In the meantime, do your best to keep your head high. I know these are trying times, but Sigurd is going to need your strength if his situation is truly as bad as Gjuki reports.”
Eivor gave him a nod, making his way out of the longhouse. “I know, Oswald. And I will. I’m not giving up on him yet.”
~~~~~~~~~~
THAT NIGHT
FORANGAL CASTLE, SIGURD’S CHAMBERS
Dragging a small stone along the edge of his sword, Sigurd sharpened the blade underneath the pale moonlight as he sat by the window, continuously checking to see if Gjuki had lit the brazier yet.
It had been about a week or so ever since he began searching for Algar’s hidden crypt, and with no further updates to inform Sigurd of what was going on, the man couldn’t deny that he was starting to grow anxious.
What if something had happened to Gjuki? What if he had been caught? What if all this was for nothing? What would he do?
The last thing Sigurd wanted was to think about the possible outcomes that could arise if their plan was foiled, but the thoughts continued to creep into his mind regardless. There were so many risks at hand and so many lives to consider, that he was beginning to wonder if all their effort was doomed to end in futility.
After all, they were heavily outnumbered in this part of England. Aside from Gjuki and his men, Sigurd really had no one else to rely on in Wedenscire. Of course, he had the support of Aegenwulf’s children to back him up, but in the face of true monarchy, he doubted that their approval of him would mean much to the ealdorman in the end.
Still, he supposed there was no use in worrying until he had a solid reason to believe something was amiss. Gjuki had already proven himself to be a skilled warrior in the past, and with Eivor waiting just beyond the horizon to bring Aegenwulf to justice, Sigurd remained confident in the fact that they would reunite someday.
Though, of course, that didn’t mean he wasn’t frightened.
“...Sigurd?” A man suddenly said from behind the door, their gruff voice muffled by its material. “Are you in there?”
The viking placed his sword down and walked over to the entrance, straightening his tunic along the way.
“One moment.”
Swinging the door open with a firm pull, Sigurd paused in surprise when he saw an unexpected face greeting him from the other side, admittedly confused about their presence here.
“Thegn Raedan?” He said. “Is there something you need?”
The nobleman took a moment to observe the Norse in front of him, flicking his eyes up and down.
“So...” Raedan replied quietly, not wanting to wake Forangal’s people, “you’re Sigurd the Lone-Wolf. I apologize for the abrupt visit -- especially at such a late hour -- but I wanted to speak with you face-to-face. After all, I don’t think you and I have had the chance to sit down and have a proper conversation yet, have we?”
“No, we haven’t.”
The Saxon quirked a brow at him. “...May I come in?”
Sigurd stepped to the side, allowing him entry. “Of course, my lord.”
Walking into the dimly-lit chamber, Raedan strolled towards the window and leaned against the wall beside it, resting a hand on the hilt of his sword as Sigurd closed the door behind him.
“So,” the viking said, “what did you wish to speak about?”
Raedan was quiet for a second. “...Well, a few things. But mainly, my wife. Moira. You’ve met her a handful of times by now, haven’t you? I know she’s been giving you some trouble since we first arrived, and I’m sorry about that. She is a good woman, but she’s also very protective. And I fear that the history between our people and yours has been anything but peaceful.”
The viking crossed his arms. “I assume her distrust towards me isn’t without reason.”
The Saxon nodded. “And you’d be correct. I’ll spare you the details, but... just know that she lost her own mother to the vikings. Many years ago. It’s the main reason her father arranged a marriage between the two of us. He wanted to secure an alliance with my family in order to drive the Danes out of their lands. It worked in the end... but at a great cost.”
Sigurd’s tone softened with empathy. “...I’m sorry to hear that. I know how it feels.”
“I imagine we all do, nowadays. Unfortunately. It’s rare to find someone who has evaded the tragedy of this war, and even rarer to find someone who hasn’t been changed by it. But I digress...”
Raedan approached Sigurd, lowering his voice so that it was barely above a whisper.
“May I ask you something, Lone Wolf?”
The Norseman nodded. “Certainly.”
“...From what I understand, you’re quite close to Aegenwulf, aren’t you?”
Sigurd shook his head. “Not particularly, no. In fact, I hardly know anything about him.”
“Is that so? Well, I must admit, that’s somewhat of a surprise. I simply assumed you were friends since he’s allowed you to stay here. Most Danes that cross paths with Aegenwulf end up with a severed head.”
“It was mostly his children who influenced his decision to spare me,” Sigurd explained. “Initially, Aegenwulf was going to have me executed.”
Raedan chuckled softly. “Ah, yes. That’s more what I expected. Still, it doesn’t sound like the Aegenwulf I knew all those years ago. He’s always been a stern bastard, mind you, but... I feel as if he’s changed lately. And not for the better.”
Sigurd recalled what Edric told him. “Well, he did lose one of his sons.”
“Aye. Gareth. I heard about that. Such a horrible death, and one that I fear has left Aegenwulf in a perpetual state of despair. He always puts on a smile when he’s around me, but I can’t help but feel as if it’s no more than a facade.”
The viking picked up on his tone. “You’re worried about him?”
“I am. That’s why I came to you. I hate to talk about a man behind his back, but I thought you might know something that could help. Seems he’s keeping secrets from everyone these days, though.”
Sigurd couldn’t hide the sharpness in his voice. “Not everyone.”
“Oh? You have someone in mind?”
The Norseman sighed out of hesitance, somewhat reluctant to answer the question. Part of him trusted Raedan to handle information like this with an objective mind -- he seemed quite rational, after all -- but the other part regretted saying anything in the first place.
Still, he wondered if it’d be best if someone from outside of Forangal knew the reality of the situation. Sigurd wasn’t willing to open up to Raedan about everything just yet, but... maybe it could’ve helped if one of Aegenwulf’s oldest allies had the gist of what was going on.
He only prayed he wasn’t wrong.
“...It’s Algar.” Sigurd finally confessed.
Raedan furrowed his brow. “Algar? You mean Aegenwulf’s housecarl? What about him? Have you noticed anything strange?”
“Nothing specific,” he lied, “but it doesn’t take much to see that he’s influencing Aegenwulf’s way of thinking -- and not in a good way.”
Strangely enough, the other man didn’t seem too shocked. “Yes... I’ve heard the folks in this castle whispering about him. Edric’s mentioned him a few times as well. I get the impression that no one here is really fond of him, and now I’m starting to suspect there’s more to it than mere speculation.”
“Indeed. Everyone I’ve met so far has called him a snake. Perhaps it’d be worth keeping an eye on him--” 
Sigurd came to an abrupt pause, suddenly noticing a lone flame glowing in the distance. It appeared to be coming from the pier just as Gjuki said it would, and he could’ve sworn he saw someone moving around in the shadows.
It must’ve been him.
“Sigurd?” Raedan said, pulling the viking from his thoughts. “Is... everything alright?”
The bodyguard brought his gaze back to the nobleman, quickly conjuring up an excuse.
“Erm, f-forgive me, my lord. I hate to cut our conversation short, but I just remembered I have an important matter to take care of. I’m afraid it can’t wait. If you’ll excuse me...”
Raedan nodded, giving him a casual wave. “Of course, Sigurd. Do what you must, and thank you for lending your ear to this old dog. I’ll keep in mind what you said about Algar, and I think we’d both do best to observe his every move. In the meantime, keep Aegenwulf’s children safe, understand? I don’t know what’s going on with his housecarl, but those little rascals don’t deserve any harm.”
“Understood. You have my word.”
The Saxon began heading for the exit, satisfied with the information he gathered. “Very good. I’ll see myself off, then. Take care of yourself, Lone Wolf. This place is far from safe, and I fear it’ll stay that way for quite some time.” He gave him one last glance. 
“Until we meet again.”
~~~~~~~~~~
A FEW MINUTES LATER
THE PIER
Tugging his hood further down his face, Sigurd stuck to the path as he navigated his way through the darkness, doing his best to stay concealed in the overwhelming blackness of the night.
So far, he had yet to notice anyone tailing him through the wilderness, and the foliage around him remained calm with inactivity, but he couldn’t seem to fight off the sense of dread that was crawling underneath his skin.
It just felt... ominous out here. There was too much silence; too much stillness. The world was devoid of any life during this time of day, and it didn’t reflect the same atmosphere Sigurd experienced when he went hunting with Edric at all. 
Perhaps it was just nerves, he thought. The night always seemed to draw out a certain type of fear from people’s hearts, and the fact that he wasn’t supposed to be out here in the first place certainly didn’t help.
His mind may have been racing with about a thousand different thoughts at the moment, what with all the anxiety that was building up in his chest, but he had to remind himself to stay calm.
Panicking would only make him stand out more after all, and he couldn’t afford to be caught.
“...Gjuki?” Sigurd whispered cautiously, quietly approaching the pier as he stepped into the brazier’s circle of light. “Gjuki, are you there?”
There was no response.
“Gjuki,” He repeated a bit louder, starting to grow concerned. “It’s me, Sigurd. You can come out.”
Still, he received no answer.
Where was that damned bard? He wondered. Had Gjuki been forced to flee prematurely due to some sort of threat? Or had Sigurd simply mistaken this flame as his signal?
He assumed the fire had been lit by Gjuki, considering that this pier was abandoned. No one else had any reason to make use of this place, and the timing of its appearance had to be more than just a coincidence. 
Though, in spite of all that, the bard remained nowhere to be seen. There was no trace of Gjuki lying around the vicinity, and if Sigurd looked closely enough at the wooden floor of the pier, he could’ve sworn he saw some type of red liquid staining its surface.
Wait a minute. 
Was that...?
“Hello, Lone Wolf.”
Whirling around at the sudden voice, Sigurd barely had any time to react before he felt the sharp sting of an armored fist bashing him in the face, causing him to fall to the ground.
He heard a group of footsteps swarming him as soon as he hit the floor, and within the blink of an eye, a pair of men had grabbed him by the arms, restraining him in their grasp.
“Hold him down!” A familiar voice bellowed over the commotion.
Sigurd struggled violently in their grip and desperately attempted to break free, only to receive a firm kick to the stomach. His head was still spinning from the initial punch, and now, his organs felt as if they were about to climb up his throat too.
“Stay still!” One of the men barked, shoving Sigurd’s face into the ground as he bent the man’s arms behind his back. But the viking wasn’t done fighting yet.
Despite being somewhat dazed from the attack, Sigurd wrestled even harder with the guards and let out an aggressive grunt, trying to weaken their grasp.
Before he could resist their seizure any further however, a metallic scrape suddenly reached his ears, forcing him to bring his attention to the dagger that was now kissing the flesh on his throat.
“Move one more muscle,” his captor hissed, “and I’ll plant this little beauty straight through your eye.”
Sigurd glared at the man on the other side of the blade, instantly recognizing their face.
“...Algar.”
The housecarl grinned widely, leaning in closer to him as he pulled his hood back. “Well, well. If it isn’t the blue-eyed demon. I had a feeling you would turn up sooner or later, Sigurd. I’m so glad to see you again.”
Sigurd ignored the man’s taunts, focused entirely on the absence of his friend. “Where’s Gjuki? What have you done with him?”
Algar raised a brow. “Oh, you mean the bard? There’s no need to worry about him, mate. I assure you, he’s receiving the exact treatment he deserves.” 
The viking glowered at the malevolence in his tone, horrified to imagine what Gjuki could’ve been going through at the moment.
“I’ll kill you for this, you dog...!” Sigurd growled through clenched teeth.
The Saxon offered nothing but a chuckle in response. “You’ve certainly got a fire in you, Lone Wolf. There’s no denying that. I almost... respect it in a way. But unfortunately, I doubt you’ll be doing anything in your position.”
Algar grabbed Sigurd by the hair, yanking his head upwards from the ground with a hard tug. 
“Did you honestly think I wouldn’t figure out what you and your friend were doing? How blind do you think I am? I warned you what would happen if you defied me, Sigurd, but it seems my threats fell on deaf ears. A shame, really, seeing as how you would’ve made a great warrior. All you had to do was follow our fucking orders. Now though, I’m afraid your fate rests in Aegenwulf’s hands.”
Algar let go of the viking’s hair and stood up from the ground, giving his men a series of commands.
“Tie him up, and bring him back to the castle. I’ll inform the ealdorman of what has transpired here. In the meantime, make sure this one stays put in the dungeons. I don’t want him to see even a sliver of sunlight until Aegenwulf permits it.”
“Right away, sir.” They answered in unison.
“Good. Then our business here is concluded. Oh, and Sigurd?” Algar shot a smirk at him. “Have no fear. I’ll personally see to it that your friend Edric hears of this. Can’t wait to see what he thinks.”
Sheathing his weapon, Algar swiftly walked over to his horse and prepared to return to the castle, dousing the brazier’s fire with a splash of water from the river.
Meanwhile, his men wrapped a cloth around Sigurd’s mouth and secured him with an abundance of ropes, ensuring that the man couldn’t move. Afterwards, they hauled him up from the ground and threw him over the back of one of their mounts, rendering him completely defenseless.
Sigurd was terrified right now. He had no idea what Algar intended to do with him, nor if Aegenwulf would spare him a second time -- and considering the fact that Gjuki could’ve been dead, he assumed he had lost his only chance to discover what the housecarl was doing behind closed doors.
Everything was going to hell. 
Not only would he be a prisoner of Algar’s now, his identity would also be exposed to everyone in Forangal. They would learn his real name, and finally hear the truth of his cryptic background. Edric would believe that his clan was responsible for the death of his brother, and the trust that they had built thus far would crumble into ash.
Blood of Tyr, Sigurd thought to himself. What on earth had done? Would he even survive this next week?
How was he going to contact Eivor now? Were Gjuki’s people aware of what was happening? Surely, Eivor would realize something was amiss with the bard’s disappearance. 
Or perhaps... he would just assume they were dead. Hope was in short supply nowadays due to everything going on in the war, and it wasn’t much of a stretch to believe that Sigurd had been killed whilst in the hands of Saxon enemies. Eivor probably had many other things to worry about at the moment, and the viking could only pray that his brother would be vigilant enough to notice that something had gone wrong.
Otherwise... Sigurd didn’t know what else he would do. There weren’t many chances to escape in a situation like this, and the odds were heavily stacked against him. 
Right now, his only option seemed to be compliance. He imagined his stay with Algar would simply worsen if he fought back, and any defiance would’ve surely swayed Aegenwulf towards a less forgiving approach.
Edric was the one person who had any hope of changing the ealdorman’s mind, and just like before, Sigurd had no choice but to rely on the young man’s help.
He was the only one who could’ve saved him now, and unless his view of the viking changed after hearing Algar’s report, Sigurd hoped he would be able to see reason. 
There was something deeper connecting the two of them, and now, after all this time, he would finally see for himself if it ever actually meant anything.
