I know it's not canon, but every now and then I like to imagine Machete with bad food allergies, eggs, wheat, dairy, whatever it is that day, because I know Vasco would go to the ends of the earth to try and find something they could eat together. He seems like the type to really value sharing meals, and would be heartbroken if he couldn't share the same food with Machete

Aw, that's very sweet ;v;

It is it's own little tragedy not being able to accept food that is offered to you, social eating is such a significant way of bonding between people (sentences that sound like an undercover alien wrote them).

Just looking at him and his malnourished chihuahua vibes, Machete certainly seems the type to have at least some food intolerances. Should I give him an allergy or two? Or would that be excessive, he's already radiating big frail victorian child energy, I don't want to go so far overboard it becomes totally unrealistic.

That was the problem with witchcraft: It was as if everybody needed the witches but hated the fact that they did, and somehow the hatred of the fact could become the hatred of the person. People then started thinking: Who are you to have these skills? Who are you to know these things? Who are you to think you're better than us? But Tiffany didn't think she was better than them. She was better than them at witchcraft, that was true; but she couldn't knit a sock, she didn't know how to shoe a horse, and while she was pretty good at making cheese, she had to have three tries to bake a loaf that you could actually bite into with your teeth. Everybody was good at something. The only wicked thing was not finding out what it was in time.

Minos would be forever grateful he never cut a single corner when building the architecture for his city. If he didnt, would these books and journals have remained?

[minophus]

im gonna latch onto you pointing out that Gabriel is radiant like Sisyphus bc i think parallels between them are barely talked about. like, Gabriel went straight for Sisyphus in a fight because he realised "without understanding why yet" (or how did the terminal entry go) that the insurrectionists look up to him to a fault... did he catch it because he's seen his own troops look up to him this way. did he catch it because it's the way _he_ looks up to the council . much to thinkh abou t

I THINK ABOUT IT SOOO MUCH. yessss yes yes

Silent Ward (Silent Hill-inspired Rain Code AU) Initial Concept

Ah shit, here we go again. Here's a starter post for the premise and any extra thoughts of my newest AU! I had to brush up on a lot of my Silent Hill 1 lore, which is probably why it took me so long to get the ball rolling. But I think I've got a decent grasp on the basics and can expand from there. Here goes!

Summary: Kanai Ward is a tourist attraction city unknowingly infested by a cult nestled underneath the megacorp Amaterasu. The corporation provides protection for the cult in exchange for their employment, which over the years evolved into them worshipping their own grim version of the god of the sun. Many years before present day, the leader of the cult demanded for a live sacrifice, one of a human born with supernatural abilities: Makoto Kagutsuchi. The young cult member, a mere child at the time, refused to be sacrificed. In an act of defiance, he harnesses all of his power to separate his soul in half, making him unfit to sacrifice. This severed piece of himself formed into a just-as-young, amnesiac kid that graced the doorstep of a newlywed couple. The mysterious child is adopted into the family and given the name Yuma Furio. However, it's not long before Amaterasu's peacekeepers are on the hunt for Yuma. Since the couple cannot safely house Yuma on their own, the husband, Yakou, takes it upon himself to secretly travel out of Kanai Ward to take Yuma to the security of the WDO. Yuma spends the rest of his childhood and teen years becoming a detective at the organization. But on his 18th birthday, he feels a sudden urge to take a train to Kanai Ward. The WDO accepts his request, aware of the presence of a cult in the city, and sends him off with many other detectives (but most of which will not make it there alive). Yuma never expected a warm welcome to the neon city, but everything is twisted and distorted far worse than before. It's up to Yuma and the surviving detectives to put a stop to the cult's reign of eldritch terror.

Some miscellaneous thoughts to keep on rollin' rollin' rollin': Fortes do not exist in this AU, but each detective has the ability to see the real world and Otherworld (or as I like to call it in this case, the Mistworld) in different perspectives due to their pasts. I have some emotionally-tarnishing ideas planned with this crucial point, so expect a lotta souls getting crushed as I expand upon the plot and characters. But that's normal for Silent Hill, so let's bring on the trauma!
