#monster fucking X'D

[blackstarchanx3new]

On a scale of 1-10 how much do you dislike the canon manga Red?

This turned into a rant lmfao.

Gotta make Red simps hate me more than they already do X'D

Like a 5 at least.

The problem mainly boils down to how I perceive him due to MY OWN PERSONAL READING OF THE TEXT.

So, the start: I'm not a fan of those types of "i'm so cute teehee" characters to begin with but for Red specifically...I just hate how inconsistent and poorly utilized he is.

He just morphs to be whatever the narrative needs him to be instead of having a real character.

He's a plot device more than a character tbh and it's why I struggled SO MUCH with figuring out a direction for him in FSR.

because...all the plot is character driven.

And I literally had no USE for a character who's soul purpose was filling in gaps when there weren't any with this cast.

His behavior isn't ever fully dived into like the other three.

I've mentioned this before: I think they cut a stand alone Red Chapter somewhere in development because the way his scene ends to where we see him later after they split up is SO WEIRD.

Funnily enough I find Dark Link and Red very similar. (Which is a huge problem but I'll get into that some other time)

Except Dark Link's inconsistencies and overall character loops back to his creation and he himself being a conflict of interest in Vaati's mind when he created Dark. he WANTED HIS Link back the only person he felt a connection to who he last had on good terms with, paired with wanting to HURT and destroy the current incarnation of Link.

making a twisted as hell individual who simultaneously embodies Link and is Link's twisted mirror image.

Naive uncertain and full of inner turmoil due to his purpose.

But when Dark REALIZES what he is to the truest extent he has to justify or crumble under the weight of his reality. There's a reason i described early Dark link as "Delusional" because he was.

Red just...doesn't have any of that kind of retrospection or intrigue in cannon.

Dark's innocence comes from his naivete but where the fuck does it come from with Red? (and it's proven to be fake anyway because he's the first one to stab someone who they think is their knight friends buuuuuut-)

Red's just canonically a contradiction with no real point and it's never pointed out in the narrative so like...it's just weird and kinda unnerving.

Like I pointed out, he literally acts like Lil Gideon before the reveal he's a crazy maniac.

Except we never GET the reveal for Red.

Red doesn't have any flaws that aren't him playing up his baby persona and fucking shit up for the others. He's just stupid af sometimes and helpful others without much rhyme or reason.

...Again I've said this before but if he was smart in areas Vio was dumb in (liKE IF THE DIRECTIONS THING WAS MORE OBVIOUSLY A CANNON THING IDK IF VIO BEING DICK WITH DIRECTIONS WAS JUST SMTH THEY ACCIDENTILY REPEATED A FEW TIMES OR A REAL INTENTIONAL TRAIT OF HIS) it could have been a fun dynamic but Vio and Red barely interact.

Honestly most of the dynamics I find myself WANTING with Red revolve around Vio...

And, imo his persona is blatantly fake from how often he just...drops it when the plot requires him to or when...idk it's just not NEEDED?

Him not shedding a TEAR when Shadow dies continues to creep me out.

because everything we know about Red tells us he should at least LOOK sat but he just...isn't.

And you can't be like "Oh but Shadow was their enemy"

bLUE GOT HIS ASS KICKED BY THIS ASSHOLE SO MANY TIMES AND HE LOOKS SAD. WHY DOESN'T RED WHO CRIES OVER KILLING ROCK MONSTERS IT'S CREEPYYYYYY.

Like no, I didn't want Red to dramatically burst into tears and ruin the moment, but dude didn't even look SAD.

Didn't look sad a dude with his face DIED.

Burned Blue's ass after JUST CRYING about him being DEAD and just WALKED AWAY.

Like if he had any depth to him this shit would be dived into but he's as shallow as a puddle and I dislike it strongly.

Like if ANY of this shit was even addressed in the manga I'd like him WAY MORE.

but it feels UNINENTIONAL which is the issue I have with Red as a character.

Long as hell walk to say:

I don't wanna spoil stuff but I do think you could have fresh ideas with Red being VERY DIFFRENT from link but my main issue with him in the actual cannon manga is:

He doesn't feel realistically like a part of Link due to my interpretation of the text and it's storytelling, and the WAY the text WANTS portrays him doesn't line up with his actions, and I don't like it.

[shnowbilicat]

I've thought a lot about the ghost kids that roam my FNAF AU and thougt about writing down some of the concepts I'm pretty set on owo

Like that the ghost kids actually age because why the fuck wouldn't they? And also how adult ghost work n stuff, cuz Rick, Keith and also pretty much my two Purple's exist as adult ghosts, living corpses idk X'D

And I would also want to make a small masterpost about all my current ghosts/haunted creatures and what the names of the kids are and who they are haunted by and stuff! owo

FNAF 1:

Standard ghosts that don't have any unique features or powers. Just a bunch o' haunted robot furries ewe But I liked giving them names similar to their animatronic so yeah :'33

Freddy Fazbear - Frederick/Freddy Bonnie - Bill/Billy Chica - Charlie Foxy - Felix

Golden Freddy - ???; unique case, has A LOT of powers, like doing ghost stuff with a material body, etc. probably due to being the bite of '87 victim

FNAF 2:

Also mostly normal haunted robots, except for a few …

Mangle - Maggy, a single soul split into two personalities between the main and the second head, though it's still one consistent soul

The Puppet - Jack; the VERY FIRST victim and the only soul that hung onto the mortal plain for such a long time that his soul expanded until the Puppet found him, making him one of the most powerful ghosts, next to Goldie. AND he's soul bonded with Alex, giving Alex some pretty neat magic and supernatural powers of his own owo

FNAF 3:

SpringTrap - WAS haunted by the Purple Man, but once Vincent managed to split himself off, the remnants of his soul woke Springy up to be his own thing

Phantoms - Literally every Phantom is basically an alternative, split off part of the kids' soul … just being in a perpetuate teenage stage of being rowdy, know-it-all, drunk and … you get the picture X'D

FNAF 4:

All Nightmare Animatronics are actual animatronic monsters and not nightmares. Their living being exists because of Keith sharing his blood/soul parts with them, similar to Vincent and Springy, and are loyal to Keith that way

Nightmarionne/Marion - Claims to be the cumulative desire of all the victims to bring Vincent to justice, even if most kids don't have that desire anymore

Nightmare BB and Nightmare Mangle - Not loyal to Keith as they do not share his blood/soul bond and were made after Marion ordered him to create them. Marion might've shared some of the desire to kill with them to bring them to life

FNAF SL:

Every Animatronic has shards of different souls clinging onto them, giving them the desire to kill. As time went by these shards fused into one soul in each bot, while the programming of them kept these souls to go completely haywire.

Ennard - Is a whole seperate entity and a mess of MANY broken soul. Curiously, without any clear programming to this mess of an endoskeleton/s, Ennard is the calmest of them all

Misc:

Vincent the Purple Man - Pratically got forced to haunt his own corpse and SpringTrap, maikng his actually ghost powers limited on how long he can use them and hold that form, but he's still really powerful regardless

Rick the Shadow Man - Quite literally haunted the darkness around him, and due to his deep hurt and pain of being betrayed by his best friend he's REALLY powerful as well

Keith the Nightmare Man - Fell into a deep coma after dying; while having the potential to be powerful, Keith would need to go under very hard training to 'awaken' that side of his ghost form powers

PG - Similar to Vincent, got forced to haunt his SpringTrap and corpse, but was taken away and 'saved', only to be tortured the heck outta him, making his form and powers limited as well, but also some aspects are 'glitched'.

Alex Winter - NOT haunted, but has pretty much a 'pact'/soul bond with Jack, sharing his powers of the undead and supernatural and basically unlocking his own soul/ghost powers while being alive. All of it is party, restaurant and/or animatronic themed pff

All former guards like Mike, Jeremy, Fritz and the Phone Guy/Scott have the potential to be vengeful adult ghosts.

And Animatronics of PizzaSim and SB are not listed here cuz either OMG TOO MANY CHARACTERS or saved for future projects oWo

Also I blame a friend on DA for making me wanna put some concepts down for my own AU after pretty much a decade of having it owo

[kalira]

(navigatorsghost here on main btw) For the writing game I have to ask what's the deal with Mates and Memories, just because omg, Van Helsing?! Thank you!

Van Helsing! Which I wrote a little for back in 2010, and . . . never again. XD (I cleaned up one of the bits from back then earlier this year and posted it, first thing I ever have for the fandom; I don't know if there's anything else salvageable - or, rather, that I feel like reworking. XP)

BUT that process did make me think about it again, and I rewatched the movie (still excellent; I love Roxburgh's Dracula to bits, he's so fucking strange and Extra and delightful), more than once, and. . .

Mates and Memories is a WIP that is for a Small Fandom Fest prompt (which I obviously missed this round, whoop; perhaps I'll get it done for a future round? X'D), left in 2012.

The general premise is that Dracula isn't dead, and Van Helsing is still a werewolf, post-canon (prompt left open 'writer's choice how'), and at some point under a full moon, looking for his mate. . .

(I have also done entirely too much research for this; I have scrutinised forestry maps, elevation maps, conservation records, and a handful of other things for this very important background setting information for Van Fucking Helsing monster smut. Hello, it me, I am Like This.)

My spin for that 'how' is that as Van Helsing isn't exactly human to begin with, he wasn't quite a proper werewolf, either - which means a) the cure didn't work on him properly, and b) Dracula was ripped to hell harder than anything else could manage, but not actually killed.

Also, as a still-somewhat-werewolf . . . Van Helsing isn't going back to the Vatican. For some reason. Fast-forward to winter, and wolf mating season, and. . . >.> (Featuring monsterfucking, some dubcon on both sides tbh, Dracula being his Very Dramatically Extra Self (he is such fun to write, FYI), and hints at the History between Van Helsing and Dracula.)

Have a snippet below the cut! Snippet is from closer to what will be the end, in theory, after a huge gap of Things Needing To Be Written (including, you know, the actual smut and most of the point of the prompt).

Gabriel roared as his body reformed, bones crunching and muscles wrenching, shrinking back into something more familiar. He thrashed, falling back and away from chill, tacky skin, claws digging into the dirt a moment before they sank back into blunt nails.

He shuddered, pushing himself up on his aching knees - a throb, and then the ache faded . . . at least that one did - and-

A sinuous stretch beside him, both hellish red and ashy grey flesh fading into pale but human skin, and Gabriel twisted, falling backwards. ‟Fuck!” he breathed, eyes widening, flashes of the night twisting through his mind painted in heavy shadow and silvered moonlight.

Dracula laughed, lifting a hand and pulling a lock of his hair out of his face with his smallest finger, then tossing his head and meeting Gabriel’s eyes. ‟You’ve already done that.” he pointed out, rolling his shoulders. ‟Though you’re welcome to give it another try. Perhaps with less fur.”

A ragged gash torn out of his shoulder and the base of his neck slowly filled in as Gabriel watched, growing shallower and pulling together until there was nothing but unmarked skin. Gabriel swallowed, then licked his teeth, remembering the feeling of that flesh tearing beneath his teeth, muscle flexing as Dracula fought him.

Or. . .

No, he hadn’t . . . quite. He had fought, but-

‟You let me.” Gabriel said, rather than any of the other dozen things that wanted to spill from his lips.

Dracula looked . . . taken aback. Just for a moment. Then he laughed again, head falling back, and Gabriel tugged his legs in, frowning.

‟Ah, Gabriel.” Dracula grinned at him. ‟You never disappoint.” He paused, then arched his brows. ‟In any way, my old . . . friend.”

‟Friend.” Gabriel repeated. ‟I tried to kill you. I thought I had. How are you still alive?” he demanded.

Dracula rolled his shoulders. ‟You did kill me, once, Gabriel. Is that not enough for you? My, my.” His smile turned sharp, though his fangs were still hidden.

POV: When you misspell God as D-O-G...

CULT OF THE WATER-DOG... Coming never to a Gamestop near you.

Actually, you get TWO versions of the same drawing because I wasn’t sure which lighting version I liked more.  The brightest setting gives off more a vibrancy and helps with a strong-marker lines combined with my neon pens which I’m proud of!  The darker setting matches the spooky aesthestic a little more though and makes the red fully look more blood-colored instead of apple-picking red. X’D

I love thinking about how Mortem is constantly put into the position to experience the worst things. Her purpose is an awful one, one that she makes work and doesn’t know how not to love - because she’s not quite a person.

She does her purpose in full, regardless of the consequences to herself (and at times, others). Destroying herself without the ability to view her own destruction. Because it’s what’s right. Whatever happens to her, as horrible as it is, makes her more effective. And all the emotional turmoil that may exist is lost due to the consequence of her not being allowed to feel remorse for the way she chooses (and must) live - and the things that must be done.

Mortem is a terribly old and lonely soul. No witch was ever meant to live this long. But because her reason for being able to is directly tied to her purpose, she cannot acknowledge the hole inside herself. Just take the fleeting enjoyment that never actually soothes anything, because no one that actually comes to like her lives for long in her experience.

But she’ll break the back of love for the potential of life and the cycle of entropy that comes from it because without it - everything falls apart.

Saitama lost his hair in his way pursuing strength while Garou lose his clothes. That's just a fact

*chokes* Pfftbwaha, ONE and Murata, just what have you started?!

[dontdowhatisayandnobodygetshurt]

no more thinking you’re annoying for leaving a ton of comments on fics!!! if I love this fic with my whole heart and soul then that’s the fic writer’s problem!!!!

[raideo]

[silent-neutral]

Bruh..Monster Hunter movie lol! I Love Milla, but it's making me get ResiEvil vibes but with randomly thrown in MH monsters x'D Gore Magala looks so fucking badass though ❤❤❤

[blackstarchanx3new]

Falling Cards Paradise within Reach Pages 51-62

Because her name isn't stated for like a REALLY long time I'll just point out Red haired cyclops woman is named Cherry, she's Alice's assistant.

Also just going to say: People never understood my girl Alice either.

She's my wife and I allow no slander to her good name. She makes choices of self preservation and people took shots at her for that. ESPECIALLY in the old series.

Are you HIGH!? OF COURSE SHE DOES SHIT IN HER OWN SELF INTEREST??? EVERYONE IN THIS COMIC DOES???? X'D

Like Bat would so smth WORSE than her, and people would still be like "Damn Alice is such a bitch"

...IS IT BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN I'M AKSING GENUINLY????

She's a vile evil princess that gives no shits about anyone but herself and kills literal monsters for fun.

SHE'S WONDERFUL. I LOVE HER.

In the cast of characters, we have:

Ball/Paul: A serial killer who enjoys MURDERING PEOPLE. In "Sadistic and brutal ways" Yeah they're evil as fuck but he's still a murderer who justifies it with "They're bad guys lol. UwU"

And Bat, who terrorized a kingdom because he got cock blocked.

They're all terrible people and I love them.

Also this series is full of Alice in wonderland references. Because Purgatory being a trippy place is kinda the point. X'D

[butterflies-and-handgrenades]

Okay so this isn't my fave clip but i kinda chuckled about it when i remembered noticing it. So I'm prone to binge watching vbros and I've watch it so much, i notice little things (like animation errors or things in the background yknow the deal.) And i was watching operation prom and at that part where Brock walks in and everyone's like peacefully dancing with their dates. I looked at where fucking, White Was with his and dude was deadass getting a BJ. and I'm like 0-0. Dayum ok X'D

I remember when someone pointed that out to me lol I had missed it the first 3-4 times I watched it and was like, Really White? Couldn’t even sneak off, just doing it right there XD

I think the part of that episode that messes with me the most is how Doc woke up next to the monster chick the next morning. I’m curious if he actually had sex with her XD (I know his drunk ass probably tried)

[authoratmidnight]

let's play "Give me a character and I will answer": Flame, Ai, Yusaku + Takeru, please (oh my, four right off the bat, sorry x'D)

There’s a lot lol. Under a cut.

Flame

Why I like them-

Flame is a good boy and a good friend. Also he’s super supportive of Takeru

Why I don’t-

N/A

Favorite episode (scene if movie)-

Hmmmm, I like when we saw him getting to meet Takeru, that was really fun. Their meeting and first duel together.

Favorite season/movie-

I mean, he’s only been IN one season so far lol

Favorite line-

‘You’re not as weak as you think’ ‘Your life is only beginning. Be reborn and seize your future.’

Favorite outfit-

Uh I mean, he only has one form/appearance really (unless you count the eyeball)

OTP-

I don’t really have one for him tbh.

Brotp-

Takeru, obvs. Best bros. Also Ai.

Head Canon-

Hmm, I don’t really have one. I’d like to think he CAN do that, tentacle monster mode that Ai can do, he just doesn’t cause he doesn’t want to freak out Takeru(I mean Takeru freaked out the first time he changed from eye form to, humanoid).

Unpopular opinion-

Is there any unpopular opinions about him??

A wish-

I do wanna see him pull some kind of tentacle monster form. Preferably in defence of Takeru.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen-

I don’t want to see him get deleted or anything.

5 words to best describe them

Loyal, kind, reliable, proud, friend

My nickname for them-

Don’t have one.

Ai

Why I like them-

He’s a goof but also a bit of a sweetheart.

Why I don’t-

Once again, N/A

Favorite episode (scene if movie)-

I love the scene where he reveals his true form to Yusaku and Kusanagi all dramatically and they’re just like ‘...is that it?’

Favorite season/movie-

Idk. I mean he’s been in both seasons so far.

Favorite line-

Literally almost anything he says in the dub lol. Dub!Ai is so much fun.

Aiballshipping (Ai/Yusaku)

Brotp-

Also with Yusaku, but also bros with Kusanagi and Flame

Head Canon-

*shrug emoji*

Unpopular opinion-

I, don’t think he’s particularly annoying? I know some people think he is but I don’t find him to be? I mean like, he was created with data from a literal kid, so if he’s childish

A wish-

I wanna see some kind of, Playmaker-Ai fusion or something.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen-

Much like with Flame, I don’t want to see him deleted. Or turned against Yusaku,

5 words to best describe them-

Silly, amusing, enthusiastic, friend-shaped, protective

My nickname for them-

Idk. Don’t think I have one.

Yusaku

Why I like them-

I just, do. He’s a good boy and needs all the love and support he can get. Also having a protagonist start off not having friends and being, the way he is, is a huge change for YGO and frankly, I gobble up that shit (the grumpy loner who doesn’t want friends beinn dragged into friendship)

Why I don’t-

N/A

Favorite episode (scene if movie)-

Hmm, I’m not sure. I did like the scene (as sad as it was) where he and Ai said their goodbyes at the end of season 1. It was very soft and touching.

Favorite season/movie-

I mean he’s the protagonist. Idk. I suppose season 2 cause he got his Fusion monster :>

Favorite line-

Any time he starts the 1-2-3 count.

Favorite outfit-

HOODIE!

Takeru, Kusanagi, Ai

Head Canon-

Kusanagi taught him how to cook that way he could eat more than just like, instant noodle type meals at home.

Unpopular opinion-

I don’t think he’s an asshole? Not really. Ya’ll are just salty that we don’t have a protagonist that’s all sunshine and rainbows and ‘power of friendship’ this time.

A wish-

I just wanna see someone make him laugh, like a real genuine, amused laugh. Let him be happy. Let him make friends pls.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen-

Don’t make him cry, don’t hurt the people he cares for. Boy has been through enough thanks.

5 words to best describe them-

Sarcastic, guarded, hurt, blunt, intelligent

My nickname for them-

I did use ‘Cutesaku’ as a tag for really cute pics of Yusaku so, I guess that.

Takeru

He is a precious bean and I love him. He’s so good and his friendship with Yusaku gives me life.

Why I don’t-

This is a lie, I love everything about him.

Favorite episode (scene if movie)-

I mean, every scene??

Favorite season/movie-

He’s only been in season 2 so far so, yeah.

Favorite line-

I can’t think of any off hand. Though I did like his introduction and when he straight up outs himself as Soulburner to Yusaku in their first irl meeting. He’s such a dork.

Favorite outfit-

His casual look with his glasses.

OTP-

I feel like not putting Firetstorm would be a crime given that I named the darn thing lol.

But also Takeru/Kiku is good shit.

Brotp-

I mean like, everyone lol. Flame, Yusaku, Kiku,

Head Canon-

He is nearsighted like moi. He just, has a habit for forgetting to wear his glasses.

Unpopular opinion-

Uhhhhhhhhh, is there such a thing for him?

A wish-

I’d like to see him irl more lol.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen-

Don’t fucking make him turn on Yusaku, no. Do not. Or hurt him any more.

Cute, kind-hearted, protective, dork, courageous

My nickname for them-

Fireboy

[dontdowhatisayandnobodygetshurt]

Imagine being in a relationship with: Myriad

Their world was alien. The thudding beat was a second heart, the lights an extension of your veins, neon flowing under your skin. An uncertain landscape of feverish, dancing bodies, pretty pills in all the colours of your desire, flutes of liquid ever-shifting under the lights. They always made sure to take you to the backrooms when you grew overwhelmed, knew how your brand of panic looked and tasted. They would wipe the saltwater from your eyes and tip your chin back, studying your face with a serious expression, until they grinned and kissed you. Every kiss stole the breath from your lungs, replaced your blood with electricity. They learnt so quickly, far more experienced than you could ever hope to be. They knew exactly what you wanted, how and when you wanted it. But it took you a long time to know them.

He was an enigma. Came as he pleased, flitted in and out of your life so randomly you never knew when you would see him next. An hour? A month? The best part of a year? He seemed to act entirely on his whims, you couldn’t have held him down if you’d tried. He only seemed to return for two things: sex, and to make sure you were alright. He always seemed pleasantly surprised by the latter, which should probably have worried you more than it did. “You mortals can be so fragile, but look at you, you’re still doing fine!” He would tilt back your chin and kiss you with that wicked, beautiful smile, and you would melt. You didn’t know how he made you feel so at ease, but you couldn’t help it. He radiated such a genuineness despite his obvious games, always kept a carefully respectful distance between you both until you expressed your wants. He tested boundaries, almost goaded you, always so playful. It was infectious, drew you in and made rise to meet the banter. He was always delighted whenever you shot a barb back, a grin wide and glittering sharp. He never hid what he was, not for one second. You believed him after you saw him draw the venom from his fangs and use it to paralyze a mouse. “It will be fine in a day, don’t worry,” he murmured and tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear. You should have been afraid. You should have run. You knew he would have left you alone if that was what you wanted from him, but you didn’t.

It was strange, those nights in the apartment she had bought for you. Clean and chic and quiet and so different from the nightclubs. The moonlight bleached the colour from everything, leaving things pale and beautiful. It only served to brighten their eyes, though, as they roamed over you lazily, shifting greenbluegreyyellow with every breath you took. Her fangs too, caught this light. She was hypnotizing, terrifying and reassuring. You would watch Netflix and laugh with the primordial being next to you, since she was so fond of her jokes, mostly dark and dirty and childish. She was tall, had to fold herself in around you for you both to be comfortable. You had never felt safer than when those fangs were within kissing distance of your neck.

They liked to tease you. A hand skating down your side or beckoning you into a room alone, a lick of their lips, a flash of a smile or lace. So many games. You didn’t often win - they had a lot more practice, after all - but you did occasionally. Sometimes when he wanted you to, others because you surprised him. It took a lot to catch him off guard, and yet here you were, tiny and vital and bold enough to dally with Hell’s master of punishment. You were nothing they weren’t; aware of rules, consequences, your own strengths and limits. When she was reckless, she had nothing to lose. When you were reckless, you had everything to lose. That impressed her; she appreciated it, and so she took care of you, made sure never to break what couldn’t be fixed. Above all they respected you, your bravery and your intelligence, your willpower and your life.

She was not used to ‘normal.’ You would invite her to your home and she would follow you with a quizzical look on her face, watching with fascination as you went about life. It was so ordinary. It was fantastic. They looked so at odds helping you with the laundry, baking, going through old clothes, sleeping in your bed with those faded sheets. You knew they were dangerous and otherworldly, they should not be brushing their teeth next to you, pulling funny faces and messing up your hair, smiling around the toothpaste.

“Demons use toothpaste?”

“Cleanliness is next to ungodliness. I have a reputation to keep.”

You knew they hurt people. Mostly because they told you very matter-of-factly. They knew they could live without you if you left, knew they didn’t need you, and so they didn’t see a reason to keep anything from you. They were an assassin, a silencer-of-problems, a nightmare for anyone with a lot of enemies. But they did admit one secret to you.

“I make sure who I will be working for before I take a job. Who is in the right and who is in the wrong. If the person with my payment happens to deserve my punishment more... I can always collect my money after I kill them instead. I may be a monster, but only to others of my kind. That is my job, after all.”

You didn’t know how to feel - eventually you just put the knowledge aside. They never came to you bloodied, always impeccable and grinning, no matter what they were wearing. They even occasionally let you wear their favourite sweater, which hung off your frame in all its pink, knitted kitten-patterned glory. It was absurdly adorable, so much so you couldn’t help but laugh whenever you saw them wearing it. No demon had the right to look that cute. It was almost enough to make them look innocent, if you hadn’t known better.

Your relationship wasn’t exactly romantic. He didn’t seem to label that, or anything else. Sex was sex, she spent more time with you because she enjoyed your company. Friend or other, she didn’t seem to care. You found yourself not caring, either. You had someone to sing terrible karaoke with in your pajamas late at night. You had someone who would remind you of the cookies so you didn’t burn them. You had someone who would stay close and wouldn’t let you get lost in the haze of neon and dry ice smoke, who would pull you aside when you needed a rest and slide his tongue into your mouth to comfort you. You had someone who would send you cute cat pictures and binge watch whatever show you wanted. You had a brilliant, chaotic person who’s only solid foundation seemed to be caring about you. You had Myriad.

So you’ve said it’s kinda funny that Hori-sensei finished an awakening and war arc before Murata did, and at the same time in Shonen Jump(and you’re correct, that shits hilarious) but it got me thinking,

What would Garou and Shigaraki think of each other. Like, they have some similarities, both being young men who were once very sweet kids who have seemingly abandoned that to change a broken society by force(also a lot of superficial similarities too, white hair, muscular bodies that their mangakas increasingly thirst over, a bit of a childish attitude at first) Like,, they could potentially relate to each other(identity crisis go brrr) but they’re just as likely to hate each other’s guts.

Idk I just like thinking about two deeply traumatized young men interacting and the shenanigans that would ensue

Oh man, seeing Hori cover his own arc about that (literally 'awakened' Shiggy as a Symbol of Fear, indiscriminate as a natural disaster with all the heroes converging to stop him) gave me such a hilarious sense of deja vu for the many coincidences. x'D Murata has since taken his sweet steady time to draw ONE's version, while he & ONE have also presented Garou quite differently than Hori's done Shiggy however (mainly with Garou ironically as a dark antihero rather than an angel of death & destruction played straight - with also yes, the many biblical references abound in both stories~)

But aughh!! An actual meeting of their characters would be quite difficult... Mainly cause young Shiggy(Tenko) I could definitely see them finding a connection over some common ground (for ex: neglected with no one on their side, disillusioned with society's 'fake' justice and complacency for the marginalized, deemed/labeled a 'monster' by others, etc.) The mutual tragedies of sweet, empathetic traumatized kids for sure. :')) And in Shiggy's case, he actually did dream to become a hero just like his grandma!!! aaaa ;A;

But in contrast....adult (current) Shiggy has practically gone full Tetsuo (Akira) mode with his power/hate/destruction, after having been groomed & manipulated (towards becoming a vessel/puppet) by the big bad (AfO) for so long, who deliberately weaponized his severe trauma & hatred for his own gain. D: (Ack;; Shiggy's truly been one of AfO's worst victims...who's given him such a fucked up dual consciousness + split identity crisis to boot.) That...it's become an actual plot point struggle to reach out and save his lingering, trapped, victimized original Tenko persona within. :')) Like, already this has become a full-on challenge for Deku to solve, including the discussions over where he draws the line, including whether or not he tries saving a person who at this point may not even want to be saved. D: So while Deku & Garou also share some character similarities, it'd probably be just as hard for Garou to successfully communicate thru to the current Shiggy too. :')

An attempt could probably end in disaster, but without AfO's influence marring the conversation however, then maybe Garou could see where Shiggy's coming from, but he'd probably strongly disagree with Shiggy's method of directing his hatred towards mass destruction/murder...aka tearing society down to scratch (leaving the ashen leftovers from the literal ground up) Because Garou's explicitly not here to cause destruction or kill people like that; he's (as he dreams) to become a symbol to indirectly reform -ie 'straighten out' in his words- a behavioral problem, as he's so witnessed needs fixing or humanity's doomed~ So I could definitely see them arguing or bickering over who has the stronger convictions for approaching their goals (especially when lul, for so long both had been driven by strong feelings without a very clear/concise vision or understanding of their end goals yet. :'D)

So overall I could see at least young (baby) Shiggy/Tenko, or middle-manga Shiggy interacting with Garou in some way, but if it's current manga Shiggy/AfO then...hooboy;; it'd probably be just as tough (if not harder) for Garou to constructively communicate with him as Deku. :'D
