#lore rant

[lexicorp]

Here to politely request your version of the Seeker Boys lore 🙏, if you feel so inclined as to share

[i got distracting doodling the sillies but i am /so/ inclined sdfnwifb]

So FIRST! we got Starscream! (youngest)

as you can see, he absolutely has his shit together :>

When it comes to his mentor Cryak, I tend to think of this fic by zeropro which i def recommend. After separated himself from her, he found himself enlisting in the Elite Guard of Vos. He quickly rose in the ranks, and met Thundercracker and Skywarp there, where the three rose up together as Starscream became the leader of the guard, much like in TF1. Overtime, the essentially police work, and monotonous servitude to the Primes got Starscream antsy. He didn't like how they were dismissed and given all the shit jobs the prissy higher ups didn't want. So, he decided to try and get into the Academy, since his time with Cryak had instilled an interest in such scientific endeavors. He managed to get in, juggling school and his work. He also met Skyfire of course (I wont delve too much into that part cuz it'd get p long-), aaaaand it was going great, with exhibitions to other planets in search of energon and possible settlements. But then on one to Urth back in da day, Skyfire was lost to the storm, and Starscream was forced to return without him despite his efforts. He was expelled from the school because of this on the basis of negligence essentially (they were itching for a reason to kick him out).

All that leads to when the next time he goes to a gladiator fight with warp and thunder to see the self proclaimed Megatron (prev D-16) in the ring as they often did, when Megs began his speech about how the system with the miners is screwed up, prejudice running rampant, and how shit needs to change: Starscream starts getting hella deep into that shit. Cuz he's pissed af now. He started meeting with megatron and openly supporting him as he was still the leader of the Elite Guard. Funding campaigns and giving information. This behavior got him flack from biches like Sentinel (more passive aggressive cuz that hoe had his own plans), and also the Primes, who were convinced that the system they had was necessary and tried to talk to him many times and when he tried to convince /them/ to change shit and set up mtgs for Megs, they wouldn't rlly listen (or their compromises were mediocre).

At that point in the lore, Megs and Star had an actually pretty good relationship for the most part. Even if Megs often prioritized Orion and their plans, and often would twist stars advice to make it sound like he had actually come up with it (Star brushed those things aside cuz he did admire Megatron and felt he had more right to organize this front from his background. His aft got gaslit and gaslit himself fr fr).

Star, Warp, and Thunder were generally on the same page then too. Warp hella down for usurping the government, and Thunder riding the high of his brothers' energy and wanting to support them.

Then, whole shit goes down of Sentinel and his accomplice assassinate the Primes (is framed as an accident and he tries to come back like oh yeah, I'm in charge now, so sad, much mourning). Starscream suspects it was bullshit, and he and Megatron plan to murder dat bich. Orion is against it of course, but follows them to continue to try and convince them to stop. How it ends, is Megatron gutting sentinel, and attempting to take the mattrix from him, but it denies him and chooses orion, which pisses him off. (detailing that would bleed more into Megs lore soo anyway-) Starscream was honestly like "wtf", and just follows Megatron out when Prime tells them to leave.

Then it goes into the war era, with Megatron rallying the Decepticons into a full ass force and announcing his plans to fuck shit up, and challenging Optimus. This is when Star and Meg's relationship starts going to shit. things get progressively worse and worse through the war, as Starscream is listened to less and less, and they get into fights often. This then starts reflecting onto his relationship with his brothers. At first, Starscream was decent at coming to them to rant or ask for assistance, but as Warp would show favoritism to Megs, and Thunder would tell him to just play it safe instead of starting fights, Starscream got more and more distant and bitter.

Oh! Also theres the fun Outlier factor where I imagine Star's is like super healing coded. Has a high ass damage threshold and very energy efficient (which can lead to him forgetting to fuel). The extreme end of this ability activates upon death, where his spark will hard deny separation and jumpstart his aft to life again and will try its best to heal his frame back to a functioning level. (which is rlly how he survived the shit that killed Skyfire) [bit about his optics]

***

Then there's Thundercracker (middlechild-)

He didn't exactly have much of a Mentor, per say. He was onlined specifically for the Elite Guard, and was just guided by his superiors and expected to just figure it out and follow orders. He had his love for writing for a long time, and often uses it as a form of escapism. He also loves to critique movies and shit. Loves musicals-

He and Starscream actually initially bonded over this when Star had asked about it and showed interest, which not many others besides Skywarp had. Thunder would script-write little plays, and Starscream would always claim the lead role. Those were coveted nights in the prewar era for Thundercracker. Where they would practice, brainstorm improvements, screw around, and maybe have some high grade. It made him truly feel like he was a part of something, when so often before warp and star, he'd been alone in his passions just going along with the motions.

Thundercracker found the Gladiator fights, that Warp introduced them to, fascinating more than anything. He enjoyed the hype and community that came with it, although did find the premise unsettling. So when Starscream started working with Megatron, and the whole rising revolution shit, he was like, "oh yeah, that sounds cool". He honestly perceived it with more anime optics, tfe hashtag ass processor over here, as he thought the idea of rising up and bringing the world into a new age was awesome! He wasn't a fan of being "just" a seeker of the Guard, he wanted to be a famous writer, and he thought that whole thing could be the way to make that a reality.

Alas, it all went to shit. The war started, and he felt like everything was falling apart. Starscream had started to get more aggressive, and dismissive. Skywarp was all guns blazing for the blowing up everyone who stood in their way, but thundercracker just...didn't see how a war was going to fix things. he didn't understand why megs and orion fell out, and why optimus wasnt on their side. or why they were fighting instead of fixing things since it seemed like they had just gotten rid of their main obstacles.

Thunder became more disconnected himself as time went on. smothering himself in his art as much as he could. Maladaptive daydreaming for dayz baybe-- He's overall hella frustrated, and just wants things to get better, but doesn't know how, and is just back on the go with the flow grindset.

His tendency to disappear annoys the hek outta screamer. Especially when thunder doesnt tell him where tf he vanishes too when it comes to the Earth era (Thunder meets this human farmer fam, and constantly visits to hang out with their doge Buster.)

***

last but not least, there be Skywarp (oldest)

Their Mentor was a scientist interested in researching Outliers. His earlier cycles were cooped up in labs, doing test after test after test. She hates that shit. Alot- Even joked at Starscream to "not become one of /those/ stiffs" when he'd gone to the Academy. When it came to joining the Elite Guard, it was a helluva an improvement to them, although adored any amount of freedom from the drab parts of the job by hanging with friends and trinemates. Adrenaline junkie and craves /all/ the stimulation.

They love graffiti, makeup/framepaint, and dancing. Would often do cover doodles for Thundercracker's stories, and helped choreograph shit. They /love/ drama, but only when it doesn't get too serious. They have fun with banter, brotherly ragging on each other, aaaand of course pranks. Theyre an absolute menace, but fiercely loyal to those they get close to (starscream would debate that fact when it comes to megatron-).

Skywarp was the first to introduce her bros to Gladiator lore Megatron. They idolize the guy, /heavily/. Which makes things difficult down the road when ol megs starts getting hella questionable, but they don't see it. They still view him the same way thru it all, and couldn't believe starscream's complaints as things deteriorated. Skywarps tendency to believe megs over star, ultimately is what starts driving them apart. Even if Skywarp still tries to bring them together again. They'll often try to rope star and thunder into their shenanigans, and petty schemes against the bots. Occasionally, it works. While others, he just gets an audial full about being immature.

Overall, they thrive in the chaos, but wishes the gang would get back together, and is hella salty about it. But being a silly goofy lad is the best coping mechanism lmao

Unstable UNI lore rant/spoilers HII!!! lets do a mini rant that willl probably be 90% wrong but whatevs!!! Remember how I said in my last rant that wemmbu has completely ad utterly caved in on himself as a defense mechanism to further lower the chances of him being betrayed or abandoned???? how I said he leaves places in fear of that?

I would like to reiterate after a certain epiphany just about a day or two ago that Wemmbu only leaves when Eggchan is not with him. A certain 'hero dependent on sidekick' trope taken a serious turn. He leave skyciv because he was searching for egg and could not settle until he had found him, he left because egg(infamously his moral compass) was not there.

As much as i depict him as a person with commitment and abandonment issues, he seems to completely flip the switch when it comes to egg.

He could have fought for skyciv. He did not. Why? Egg wasn't there. For all that's worth it, the only wars he has fought are the ones where egg was right there beside him.

Again, I mean *to* egg. Not to others, he doesnt flip the switch to others just because egg is around. Nope, only to egg. I'd like to think the two places he CONSIDERED staying were Manepear and Zam because Egg was there. Those places were almost home not because there was a sense of safety there(he has, always thrived in chaos) but because could thrive in safety with egg.

And it's not onesided, Egg clearly thinks of Wemmbu as his 'day one' and is definitely attached to wemmbu as much as wemmbu is with him(maybe not as co-dependent, but still there in the attached spectrum)

Put that to the side. We know that Wemmbu thrives in chaos, he does! it's vehemently proven how he always picks fights, videos mostly pvp-centered. He loses himself in bloodlust, and thats not something he's ashamed of.

Shame only arrives in the picture, suitcase in hand, when someone dear to him is threatened(or useful.)

Specifically.... DingDingDing!!! You guessed it, Egg!

He started thinking with his head and not his inner desires when egg is IN the picture AND threatened. Referring to my previous words, he only seems to consider settling in peace and safety with Egg right beside him. Im referencing the ferre scene, when Zam held Egg captive, When Egg was coerced into joining the mafia and wemmbu was left all, all alone.

Not Wemmbu and Eggchan.

Wemmbu, Eggchan.

I say this SPECIFICALLY after the newest video uploaded. You SEE wemmbu wanting to settle, have a nice quiet life with Eggchan because He's FINALLY gotten it in that THICK NUMBSKULL of his that If he's in danger, so is Egg. So he decides that if he needs to diminish his need for chaos for egg to be safe, he will.

I do also think that fight with ClownPierce in the S1 finale was him laying down his sword and giving that voice in the back of his head chanting, 'chaos, blood, danger.' it's final win.

does NOT work out for him, as a sword is thrusted into his hand yet again and instead of adrenaline. He feels... annoyance.

Why can't he go out on his own terms? Why can't he finally put the sword down? Why can't he control his own life?

Why do the things and people he care about get put on the line because of HIS actions?

One hand of his holds a sword, the other holds a suitcase(ready to leave at anytime.)---Why can't one of his hands be free?

Oh wow. That took a fanfiction-y aspect, huh? I think I'm done. I'll probably rant more and contradict myself further the following days but this is it for now !!!!

And again, remember... 'I never actually expected you to finish anything. You were always leaving. I always pictured you with a suitcase in one hand.' Is UU!Wemmbu...(i mean i think so it rings pretty true with his character i mean not his pov but with how others view him not the meathead others i mean wato, probably after skyciv)

how the Bishops handled revival

while originally they could handle their injuries as Bishops, the same cannot be said when they're "mortal" and without their crowns.

Shamura: initially unconscious upon arrival and heavily bleeding. It’s only thanks to the quick work of Kallamar (who was on his feet by then) and the healers that prevented them from dying again. Upon coming out of a fragile state they're agitated, confused and aggressive; lashing out and hurting anyone who came near them, even their own siblings. Only Witness Allocer and Kallamar handled them. Eventually they settled, which happened much quicker with Narinder by their side. On bad days they tend to lash out or have episodes similar to dementia. That's thankfully happening less and less as time goes on. Sewing and knitting calms them so that's their job.

Kallamar: woke up and was unable to stand up straight and walk properly due to the damage to his ears. Eventually he succumbed to illness due to having a weakened immune system (he always had a weak one before the Blue Crown chose him.) Saleos mostly took care of him with Narinder helping. He had to be taught sign language for days when there's a lot of noise (think festivals). [Sign language is taught to many of the cultists. they may be a cult but they ARE inclusive!] Mostly avoids Narinder and tries not to catch Lamb's eye. Lives with Saleos (he was the youngest of Kallamar's disciples so he out lived Haborym and Baalzebub.) Will fall sick easily when there's sickness around, so as a healer he focuses his expertise on common colds (which he has an easier time shaking off) and physical injuries.

Heket: was choking on her blood when she awoke, would have died from blood loss had the healers not stepped in quick enough. Because of her ripped throat Heket was unable to eat food for several days, which was agony for her. All she could 'eat' was the water and thin broth the healers dripped into her mouth. Narinder and Leshy stayed by her side as she slowly recovered. Struggles to talk due to physical trauma so she had to be taught sign language to speak. She's a decent cook.

Leshy: was bleeding from his eyes but wasn't in any danger of dying. Was a pain in the ass for the healers however, he didn't make things easier with his wriggling and cursing. Once the pain eased, however, he calmed down and took his current situation well. It helped that Narinder kept him company. Occasionally uses a cane when there's crowds, more structures built, etc. Other than that he can get around just fine using the vibrations in the earth to help guide him. Is a farmer but does bartend on occasion.

TL;DR-

Shamura: where am I? i'm scared i'm angry i'm going to rip someone's arm off if they come near me where is my cat

Kallamar: oh my god i've been puking for five days straight and my head feels like it's spinning

Heket: (sad dying frog noises as her stomach growls)

Leshy: y'know I kinda like it here.

OC doodle + LORE RANT INCOMING!!!

Okay so I haven’t really talked about Nathan’s powers yet, I didn’t have those figured out yet LMAOO but I had an epiphany today 🔥

I only had this vague idea that I wanted him to manipulate the reality around him, and settled on the idea that he does so through electricity, because the curse affects the brain and nervous system the most. He can change the voltage of things close to him and send electric shocks. But I also wanted to tie in the powers he had in the old lore (possession), just less op, which I did by him using these powers to send electric signals to someone’s brain.

He can’t take full control over someone, but can influence their behavior by sending signals to, for example, release serotonin to make people trust him and feel safe around him or release stress hormones to intimidate someone. Those affected by his powers wouldn’t realize that they are being manipulated, thinking its just their gut feeling. I think this works well for Nathan, wanting to control the people around him for his benefit.

Uhhh yeah so this is a little doodle of Nathan working his magic on robin, who would have to deal with this a lot, being constantly around Nathan and getting “reassured“ by him that he can trust him and shouldn’t question Nathan’s awful behavior. Robin only realizes what Nathan’s been doing very late in the story and feels absolutely destroyed, having no idea which behavior is his real self or if it’s all been Nathan’s doing. IDENTITY CRISIS 🔥🔥

Nathan also uses his powers on himself a lot, mainly to keep his body alive during the end stages of the curse, but also to self soothe and relieve the chronic pain he deals with. Something something the thing that kills you keeps you alive

Small Nar dump (mentions of torture and self harm/suicidal themes)

Before you ask what Crow Poison is, the Crows, when hurting Nar or “giving him warnings”, use a special kind of poison. Normally, Nar’s body will regenerate after they leave some scars, but they apply a specific poison to their talons that make it so the scars leave a mark. They claim it’s so he can “see every mistake he’s made”.

Nar has contributed to the scars. Around his back, on his charger, are many different scars caused by the Crows, but there are also some from him. In fits of desperation in his darkest moments he would attempt to rip the charger out.

Androids cannot live without their chargers.

He thought of it as an escape from everything he’s been through and what he’s done. But he was able to regain his control.

And the only way for him to really get scars on his hands is from overuse of powers. Nar can use his body to channel his electricity. Usually he uses it in code or manipulates the game to control it. But if he needs to save his energy, he’ll be forced to use himself. He most commonly uses his arms, as they’re where he has most control over.

They work like this:

Use the electricity on the arms = stronger electricity and better focus.

But the issue is that it can crack his skin or scar it up, which causes the hand scars.

It also may damage his arms to the point that they’ll break off (or similar) and he has to retreat.

This is also dangerous for a final reason: Battery. See, when Nar is using his electricity OUTSIDE of his body he’s able to tell when he should stop because of low charge (such as darkening vision or weaker attacks/charges)

But WITHIN his body he can’t tell because as the electricity still remains inside of him his body is telling him that it’s charged. It’s only when he stops can he get the full extent of the situation.

Using his body to channel electricity is only when it’s sorely needed.

If you actually read all this holy fuck you’re awesome thank you for listening to me ramble 🥹

Can you believe We just got a William afton Game universe Canon freaking design

(At least, I think it’s canon to the games, since they used Henry’s game design)

Also I feel like there might be some implications with that scrapped colored one, Henry being scratched out to that extent is curious

(Added on a lore rant below the cut)

I just- I feel like Henry being scratched out to that extent in the scrapped picture might mean something, as Williams face is only scratched out, but Henry, we can barely see him I just I feel like this has to mean something Though It was scrapped, so maybe not But It just doesn’t make sense, as Henry is the one we have a cannon design for, so obviously they weren’t trying to hide the fact it was Henry So- What does it mean!?!?

Like- Does this imply something in the games? And the way springbonnie freaks out and like, fumbles when it sees the photo-

(I have just realize springbonnie gets hit with Oswald’s fathers arm, but it is interesting that it was interested in the photo at all) It’s just It’s got to mean something

And Springbonnie in this game isn’t even William, but an agony manifestation I guess (that’s the theory I’ve seen) So it can’t be because William recognized his old friend or anything I just Is this a picture from William, maybe he scratched Henry out of anger? But why would he scratch out his own face as well? What does it mean

Also- A friend pointed out the rip in the photo, implying someone was going to rip it up, but hesitated

also

someone else pointed out that the rip could be from being folded for a long tim

[curelore]

found this comment on a youtube video showing the new logo (you and idol sounds fun!! I'm excited to see what the season brings!!) and its....certainly something!!

I had never seen anyone angry about the inclusion of a boy cure with my own eyes so this kinda caught me off guard lol.....but even more than that, this person just seems to have so many random gripes with common tropes that are occurring in modern seasons/have occurred throughout the seasons (the baby mascot one is especially random, there hasn't even been one in years unless you count kome kome on a technicality), so I kinda wonder why they even keep watching at all????

like genuinely imagine starting to watch the new season, seeing a baby, and being like "throw the whole season away!!!", it's kinda hilarious in its ridiculousness

genuinely wish people would just stop engaging with media that they spend more time hating than enjoying, for their sake and for the sake of everyone else they rant to about it

[mordenandmerry]

My biggest flex is that I can follow a Brennan Lee Mulligan Lore Rant

[kapa-the-werdo]

I did make it really deep for no reason tho

Anyhow theory thing or something idk

The Promised Neverland x RC9GN

So, since I am on a temporary break from asks- I decided to go ahead and post some more coherent thoughts on the crossover literally no one except ONE person was interested in (/lh). I didn't expect the post to gain even the slightest bit of traction, so seeing someone with the same type of rotting interest actually made my day-

I actually wanted to focus on what came before Randy had even been born (aka what the deal with 'the Ninja' is because this idea barely makes an ounce of sense), so without much further ado- let's continue!

The First Ninja is meant to parallel William Minerva/James Ratri. He was a descendant of the original founders which had been involved in 'the Promise' and originally he didn't fully question their behavior, it was more so along the lines of "if I pretend everything is fine, I won't have to acknowledge how I feel about it", but as things kind of escalated- he couldn't bring himself to just sit aside and ignore it. At some point, he flat out rebelled (not that anyone was aware of what he'd begun to do-) and was leaving behind evidence to alert the farms orphanages about what was going on.

Now if you've been following my content at all, you know I talk about the Norisu 9 every so often- I like to think they were also involved and contributed in different ways to the first wave of resistance. The First Ninja is still a warrior in this crossover and I like to think he supplied weapons, things that would harm the demons but going against their leader was a lot harder than he thought it would

(The leader who, of course, is the Sorcerer)

Finja fought bravely, but as punishment for his disobedience- he was subject to watching his entire clan die before his eyes. Forced to live with the guilt, he broke off from the resistance (at least that was the agreement- he would continue working for the demons until someone else took over his role upon death) and went back to the life he held previously. However unbeknownst to the Sorcerer, Finja had left behind something important: the Nomicon.

A tome that contained tunnels and maps of the Demon World, the key to paradise. It held the bunker with a supply of weapons and arsenal, and everything- Finja had entrusted a demon known as “the Messenger” to hand it down, but there was one problem to this plan: who would carry on the mantle?

A decision was made for it to be left in the least likely of locations: one of the farms.

The Messenger had unique powers- allowing them to find the next “Ninja”, someone who possessed specific traits and could carry on what Finja had started. Years came to pass, each with varying levels of success (a few managed to cause a new wave of resistance, one unfortunate kid got adopted- and the rest, well, who knows what became of them). First Ninja’s name was forgotten over the years and the book would continue to be handed down.

The First Ninja is bound to the book- whether this makes in the original Promised Neverland canon is irrelevant, because well, I make the rules (/lh). I like to think he has the ability to communicate with the current holder of the book, but unlike the RC9GN canon- things work a little differently.

He communicates with the current ‘Ninja’ via dreams- sending ominous signs and continuing to hand them lessons but there isn’t any ‘shloomping’ into the Nomicon. Things just work a little differently, if anything-

The book is eventually left in the hands of Randy, but that is a story for another day.

Finja was left with immense survivor’s guilt- knowing he had failed his siblings, he had failed the children, everyone who wanted the nightmare of the Promise to end. He lost the hope things would ever right themselves. His actions came with unfortunate consequences, and in the years leading up to his death- he isolated himself from everyone. Though his allies attempted to honor his wishes, even if he didn’t know about what they had done.

(I might tie Rei Izumi into this, but we’ll see-)

His legacy continues and for one particular boy, and the people he cares about, everything is going to change. Sooner than they think.

Written as a partial gift to @thesoundofmadness! Also because I am just fixated on this universe lol, but these are my thoughts for now! More will be dropped eventually, hope you enjoy the rest of your day loves!

/ Unstable Universe Rant

im not good at lore theorizing so im gonna rant about how the characterization is absolutely genius. Of course, its not all spelled out for you but when you look at it, it is truly genius. (Mostly Wemmbu but uh, I'll try to see parrot and spoke too.)

Wemmbu's characterization is very interesting to me, because he tries to play the nonchalant character so hard, like a detached personality- never letting himself get too close, as demonstrated in the end of the sky civilization video. He left, taking the easy way out. It is, in the end, acknowledged by Wato in the finale as he jabs at Wemmbu that now 'He cant leave and take the easy way out to abandon everyone' if I'm correct.

He truly tries, he does try to play the detached character after Zam, Zam may have had a big impact on him considering the amount of time and effort Wemmbu put in for him, but I do think the breaking point was Manepear.

He hops from place to place (in my eyes) to find a home. I'd say, even if it's subconciously. And In my opinion, he was very reluctant to stay at Sky Civ because Egg wasn't there.

Egg is, obviously, his human part. The part of him that grounds him, keeps him from being a loose canon. Egg does try to stop Wemmbu at some points where he deems wemmbu is going to far and he's right, but wemmbu doesn't always agree but at some points he does.

Anyway, He came to Manepear to learn to fight. (Which IMO, that desire to feel SAFE and STRONG is a result of what happened with Zam. Feeling cornered everytime they fought, being belittled by him like a child. feeling powerless, if i may.)

I think that as a defense mechanism, he's trying to really really be detached, but in reality he's desperately searching for something solid. Something that doesn't leave. You know?

I come to that conclusion because of his reaction when Manepears tree got destroyed- He immediately wanted revenge. Call me delulu, but that was a clear indication he had some type of attachment to it. I'd say he still has manepears shield, and maybe some of you will say that he just didnt need a new shield, i want you to remember when he wanted Egg to take off the Zam shield and how he made such a big deal out of it. He cares about little things like these, and I stand by that.

The Sheer silence that occurred when manepear left, called him a lost cause, is where I think the breaking point for Wemmbu was. Hey, there wasn't much of a physical reaction but I do think something broke inside of him.

Also, when wemmbu told Egg 'i don't think we're gonna be seeing manepear anytime soon.' He sounded so sad DUDE, like. You could HEAR the grief he still has.

Despite me sounding like a wemmbu apologist, He still has made stupid dumb mistakes. And also very frustrating considering how self centered he acts, his arrogance is really loud. And abandoning Sky Civ wasn't the best course of action, but he still did it. And honestly I'm so glad Wato does hint to it, and that not everything is magically fixed bc they met later on.

You know what they say, 'The dog that weeps after it kills is no better then the dog that doesn't, You grief will not purify you.'

maybe not the best quote, (it fits parrot better maybe, or even s4!spoke.) but yeah.

WHEW thats enough, thank you to anyone who reads this!

[macawthestarwing]

Along with a drawing, here’s a rant about Candle’s animus spiral:

Candle is an animus, yes. Any time she uses it, it’s always to protect someone (mainly Silver Spoon because he’s always getting in danger). She also uses it to help calm people down, like enchanting her calming crystal (now a necklace) to calm anyone who wears it. She also has another crystal that acts like the crowns and can become any weapon she wants.

All the objects that were in the original group and watched Taco go animus crazy warn her about it, but Candle claims her soul has been purified and protected by her meditation and inner flame. It doesn’t help her, however, and she does snap

She and Silver are exploring Darkwood at one point and a rouge cultist comes and tries to attack them. Silver is knocked unconscious and Candle instinctively uses her animus to trap the cultist’s consciousness in a crystal. This is what sends her off the edge.

Broken Candle is basically a kleptomaniac yandere. The yandere part is because since she used most of her magic to protect Silver, she has the overwhelming urge to protect him at all costs, even murdering someone who looks at him wrong. She becomes overly obsessive and creeps around everywhere. Her voice always has a calm but unsettling tone, and her tail is always twitching like she’s being electrocuted.

Whenever someone says anything about Silver that she takes as negative, she’ll isolate them in a lockable room using a necklace she wears, which allows her to cast an illusion to look and sound like anyone she wants as long as she knows them. Then she traps their consciousness in one of her crystals and goes about her morally ambiguous way.

Silver helps her come back to her senses eventually, and she apologizes for everything.

Anyway, enough ranting, long story short Candle becomes a yandere that’s really all you need to know🙃

the Goat

wouldn't it be fucked up that when the Goat gets the Purple Crown he immediately hunts down Lamb and violently tries to attack them., screaming and shouting they did this to him.

Then the Goat freaks out and starts hyperventilating and crying when the reality of the situation sinks in.

He's not happy the Purple Crown picked him, he's fucking scared and terrified of what this means. Instead of accepting that he's been chosen for his true nature, he wants to blame the Lamb for it all. After all, he talked to them a few months ago, their godlike germs must've gotten on him. Or they released the Purple Crown to be cruel.

He was rather violent and hot-headed as a doeling, he nor his parents knew why he was so aggressive. He threw tantrums, broke horns, broke limbs, and pushed and punched fellow kids. He even once bit a Priest when they mistakenly called him by the wrong name. A cold fire burned within him, and his parents were afraid (and deep down inside he was too) he'd never live a normal life, and would someday be banished from the community. But he couldn't stop himself, he was just so... so... angry at nothing. At everything.

However when he was chosen by his successor, her Master (which is the same species as the Mystic Seller) he was taught discipline and ways to calm himself. He grew out of his temper and roughness thanks to schedules and discipline, though he is rude to those who worship the Gods.

He's devoted to his Master because it pretty much soothed his rage, gave him not only powers, a halo, but a new title and shed his old identity. He was essentially reborn and would gladly spend a hundred years being its mouthpiece until it desired a new Messenger. He knew its true name, he knew its prayers inside and out.

After all, it is an ultimate being, one who can see the threads of the worlds, time means nothing to it, it can never age or die, even if it is forgotten about. Heretical Gods and entities that lurk in the world are beneath it and its kind. To become a worshipper of a God is a sin and heavily frowned upon.

So to lose his halo, to lose his title of Messenger, is horrifying on its own, he is now a false idol that the Priests lectured against. But... he's lost the one thing he turned to to help curb the aggression within him. He cannot remember its name, for mere mortals and Gods cannot comprehend its true name, nor the true name of the others,

He's also lost his community, a sadistic twist to what he feared all along. What his parents had worried about came true, just not in the way they expected.

And worst of all, the thing he once called 'My Lord' and sent prayers to, said absolutely nothing before his halo was replaced by the Purple Crown in his sleep. It essentially iced him out, and he'd later learn it only picked him to instill piety and discipline within him for the cycle that will never be broken. It nudged him to learn about the past and the mistakes that had been made by his predecessor. He had essentially been groomed to become a better God of War, not a Messenger.

honey im home fans, have your rant. (copied from twt)

gosh i have to make integrity as the spider from honey im home (no, i'm not making something utterly disgusting, my vision of honey im home and uty mistakes is basically the chain of pre events..if my mind could be opened, it would be understandable,,)

so integrity being the spider from honey im home means many things (after the lines of the ''god coming back with a moth ''that equals to chujin coming with integrity and speaking to sci to accompany him in this search that wasnt meant to be his to explore, given he was given the red flag on working on axis and a capturing human souls the easiest way possible-) The lines skip to ''God devoured that of father'' which in my head its chujin basically..yeah his death. And since the lines skip to the spider, integrity comes to play.

The role of the spider in the song, in my eyes for uty mistakes, is basically the lore of the ''guiding you with me to perish too, type of thing', hence the poison on the lips and telling the person to promise a kiss to get out. what does that have to do with integrity? well,,

integrity, or swanie themselves, isn't the bad person here, just a scared human deciding to escape the underground and defending themselves. Nothing evil, understandable. but THE WAY THE AFFECTED VIEW THEM or how the spiral portrays them, is basically a haunting dancer dragging whoever dared to cross their way into a pit of never ending hell. THAT vision of them is the spider set in this sotry. The poison refers to how they ''spoke'' to guide Kanako to the ''solution'' to help her father (they didnt btw, it basically a metaphor kinda to events) and ''the abandonment of scenery in the mind of mother'', can refer to Ceroba's naiveness on how to deal with what her daughter wants, and on how the legacy can move on with ths action (it gets worse we know that.)

The Interrogation Episode

Oh goodness. Did any of you see the interrogation episode with Ruin and Moon? No? Because it made me so angry.

Now, please keep in mind that Ruin is one of my favorite characters. I will do my best to avoid a bias and include as much logic as possible, but please fact-check me if I’m wrong and feel free to tell me as much.

Ruin is a fair assumption for Eclipse’s return—even I suspected him for a time. However, Moon was far too harsh in the interrogation.

To tell somebody so soon after they HELPED you capture the villain just because “it was too fast” that they’re going to be scrutinized and observed like an animal in a zoo is not something that a normal person does. I do understand that Moon and the family have been going through a lot lately, but this does not give him permission to take it out on Ruin! At least, that’s what this episode felt like—Moon taking things out on Ruin. Moon has a good reason to suspect him, yes, but I think this should’ve been done much further after Eclipse was captured.

Ruin just wanted to be friends. A part of the family, if I dare suspect. He said that he had just wished to be friends with Moon in the interrogation episode!

Then, Moon told Ruin that he didn’t trust anybody outside of the family. He just blatantly told him that he was not included in the family. This episode just made me so angry at Moon. The way he handled it all was unprofessional at best and he treated Ruin more like a stranger than an ally.

Did you all see how Ruin reacted? He sounded so defeated, like he thought that helping them get Eclipse would earn him a higher place with the others.

It’s as if Moon wants Ruin to turn on him.

(My apologies for the excess name use. I did what I could to limit it, but I had to make sure it all was clarified well enough.)

OKAY OKAY OKAY SO "The Dreamwalker" by Hydre has become my Roman Empire so Imma ramble about something that keeps me up at night about this fic:

SO, Tommy is a shapeshifter and was manifested by familial love and hope(and also dandelions, the stars, etc but those 2 things are what I'm gonna focus on for this rant). HE IS TECHNICALLY THE *EMBODIMENT* OF THOSE THINGS SINCE THAT WAS HOW HE MANIFESTED, RIGHT(since Mumza is the embodiment of death and space because she manifested after an asteroid caused many people to die)? Tommy is technically A CONTRADICTION TO HIS EXISTENCE! LIKE- he's lost HOPE in HIS FAMILY accepting him back into the family and loving and caring about him without eventually leaving! For example(!spoiler warning!), in Chapter 17: "The Cardinal", Tommy already assumed that Techno and Dream would strike some kind of deal and Tommy wouldn't be saved from Dream by Techno. He lost hope of Techno, HIS BROTHER, saving Tommy from his abuser because Techno and Dream teamed up in the past. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FRICKING HEARTBREAKING IT IS TO SEE A CHARACTER GET HURT BY PEOPLE SO MUCH, ESPECIALLY HIS FAMILY, THAT HE CONTRADICTS HIS FRICKING CREATION AND WHAT HE IS THE PERSONIFICATION OF???
