#one of them is even a magician

[nerdpoe]

There's a level of Hell that Constantine loves and hates in equal measure.

The Level of Lust and Debauchery.

He loves it for what it is, but he also really, really hates it. The beings in it are unhinged at best, completely insane at worst. Stronger than Demons, but weaker than Gods-it's always more stressful than fun dealing with them.

So needing to summon the King of that level is...well. John can already feel the exhaustion.

But instead of exhaustion, he feel rage. Disgust.

The King that shimmers into existence is a fucking child.

And John honestly loses some time after that.

He comes back from ranting with the tiny King forcefully yanking him to a stop.

"Wait, you thought the Infinite Realms were what?"

Turns out, that wasn't the Level of Lust and Debauchery at all. Turns out, the Infinite Realms has a Red Light District.

Turns out, that is a very, very small part of the Infinite Realms, and this tiny child King had no idea it was there, and now he has to explain what a Red Light District is to an increasingly mortified Royal Teenager.

All around, it's not a fun time for anyone present.

One of my favorite headcanons is that Leo grew up watching telenovelas with Splinter.

It just works so well - his bits of Spanish that he spouts randomly, his showy way of apologizing, and, of course, his love for dramatic betrayals all point to this being a very real possibility.

Plus, it’s very cute to imagine a tiny Leo at his father’s side as they both gasp in shock when the show’s eighth plot twist in just as many episodes happens.

...okay, so I'm probably not the first person to notice this.

But gear's earing that he points towards when he says that he did the same ritual he wanted to help kuro with already on himself before:

actually looks pretty similar to the pieces of the necklace the count used to create the servamps:

The different pieces of the necklace seem to contain one demon each and the count used them to create the servamps.

So...did the count either learn this technique from the werewolves or is he possible even originally a werewolf himself? It would explain why he's immortal, that's why I'm wondering about this.

Gear says that the ritual is used to remove spirits, could it be that the count removed his own sins using the werewolf ritual and created the demons this way? But he went too far and removed too much unlike gear who only removed one part of himself? Him removing the sins from himself would also explain why he's so weird and doesn't understand other beings. As the sin demons say, they are a natural part of being a human and we have seen multiple times that denying their existence is harmful, removing them all from you would probably lead to you not being able to relate to other people anymore.

Maybe removing all these parts of himself is also why he has no appearance. Without his demons he's not a person anymore.

The count originally being a werewolf would also explain why he has magical abilities (gear can also use magic) before other magicians existed and why he's so anxious about certain people dying. Gear talks about how his immortality makes him sad because human friends do die, but unlike the count gear seems to accept death, grieves in a heathier way than the count and is able to move on and make new friends. Could also explain why his magic and creations are all strongly tied to the (full) moon.

Another similarity is that while werewolves apparently can't reproduce gear was able to have descendants by sharing his life force (it's mentioned in chapter 135 which isn't translated yet) with a woman and through her human children tsurugi is related to gear. Sigurd explained to nicco that the magicians came to be because the count let humans drink his blood, three survived, got magical ablities and became the ancestors of all human magicians:

Maybe the count is more of a werecat though. He and the sloth demon do seem to have a closer connection, even though the count's appearance changes depending on the person looking at him he does usually keep his tail and the tip looks exactly like the one of kuro's cat/lion form and similar to the the one of inner sloth's non-human form.

It was also stated multiple times that the sloth demon is the strongest. I wonder why that is. Servamp comments on the fact that being lazy is often actually a sign of depression/anxiety through kuro's arc, so maybe the count was depressed and that's why the sloth demon is the strongest? Basically the demons strength depends on how much the count suffered from the different sins? It would also explain why melancholy is so strong, I assume kuro refusing to see him no matter how many siblings he sent his way to tell him to come looking for the count made him extremely sad and probably even made him come up with the plan to have himself be killed and then put in the same body as kuro through the ritual.

I assume he was behind C3 ordering the servamps to kill him because he's the one who created the magicians and thus C3 and lily who is kind of working for him was probably the one who put the idea that the count needed to be killed into the head of his eve (aka a member of the alicein family who hold a lot of power in C3 basically since the beginning. I explained this in more detail in another post). The people from C3 even said that the count can only be killed if he wants to and yeah, kuro didn't truly kill him, but he did destroy his body and kuro seems to have met little resistance when he attacked the count. Which probably means the count wanted this to happen.

Why must a twitter post make me choose who has the worst parnets between Horrid Henry, Doofenshmirtz, Priya from Total Drama Island and Sora from Lego Ninjago??? They all got shit parents in different ways, there's no contest between them.

[lizardkingeliot]

i have days where i’m like... okay. certainly this whole queliot thing has to be out of my system now, right??? or if it isn’t yet, it’s going to be soon, RIGHT?! and then i wake up with my chest swelling thinking about the scene i’m working on in my kissing story, and i go about my day doing my silly little grown up tasks with these two twirling like horny ballerinas in my head and it’s like... no, actually. this whole queliot thing isn’t even close to being out of my system yet.

[crescentfool]

i think something that is important to me to remember is that there are small ways i can do things to spark joy for myself and others without waiting for someone else to do it... (conjures up little sparklies from my hands) life is so whimsical!!!

Rayman Head Canons: Voice Claims Part 2

So a little note before we begin, Rayman Retold had a few faces that were introduced in Rayman 2. I found out that The Great Escape (PS1) and Rayman Revolution (PS2) versions had completely different types of voice acting when it came to the English dubbing. A few of the credited voices had "Rayman 2," but not really anything specific. I'll have to rely on clips and I might not have much info on the voice actors in question.

-----------------------------------------------

Admiral Razorbeard:

I've changed the voice claim from when this post was first made. As much as I loved the previous one, I decided to go back to giving Admiral Razorbeard the voice he had in Rayman Revolution.

Razorbeard was going to be another major villain within the Rayman Retold Project I was working on. Despite his defeat, he was going to return sometime down the line alongside his wife.

-----------------------------------------------

Jano, The first Nightmare:

Jano actually has 2 voice claims: One when he speaks English, and one that is his native Nightmarish tongue.

For his English lines, I did research and my results were pretty empty. considering Jano actually had 2 English voice actors that depended on which version of Rayman 2 you played and they were VERY different voice portrayals.

Here's the differences between the Rayman 2 playstation games with Jano's English voice:

When Jano speaks English, it's the voice he had within Rayman Revolution, or the PS2 version. It's the language you hear him use the most when he's communicating with members of the glade that enter his lair.

Within Rayman Retold, his native tongue is a language only used by creatures of nightmare origin. It's mostly referred to as “Nightmarish” but doesn’t actually have an official name. for Jano, its the “Raymanese” voice sound effect he had from Rayman 2.

You don't normally hear Jano pulling the nightmarish language and the voice that goes with it unless he is in a fit of rage, or he’s attempting to corrupt those into his puppets.

-----------------------------------------------

Barbara the Barbarian:

Kelly Macdonald. If you don’t know who Kelly Macdonald is…then allow me to post the clip that pretty much speaks for itself.

-----------------------------------------------

Ales Mansay the Teensie Magician

Jess Harnell.

I blame this on when I was shown scenes from Sophia the First, and when I was picking up Ales' Pig Latin voice lines from Origin one night. I couldn't unhear this since, and now I portray Ales with the same vibes and personality as Cedric.

was thinking some thougths about

her.

Marisa i think is the kind of person who makes it her business to know everybody, and include herself in all the circles. Basically act like she’s the main character of whatever location she goes to. She’ll make their business her business (if it interests her) or vice versa. It’s all part of how its important for her, an ordinary human, to feel like she can stand equal next to all these strange, extraordinary beings... I was thinking of making a big relationship chart that was just Marisa and everybody else i care to think about associated with her, but got lazy so instead i’m just gonna spit out a few of those thoughts, sorted by some locations.

in the forest of magic, she’s the most outgoing of all the magiciians and would be asking and bothering them about their studies and experiments even if they didn’t ask first. Between their own individual projects, they sure trade notes a bunch and do the occasional collaborative project.. Maybe moreso with Alice, and Marisa would have to really prod Narumi to take part.

in the scarlet devil mansion, Marisa is almost like an extended member of the family. At least, Flandre probably makes the occasional joke(?) that she’d rather have Marisa has a big sister (and Flandre now says that about a certain backdoor god...), Patchouli thinks Marisa (and Alice. And all other magicians other than herself) are novices and is patiently waiting until they’re all on her level, and Sakuya figures that if Marisa is gonna intrude as much as she does, she’ll make subtle(?) attempts to recruit her as a fellow servant.

i think most times when she tries to visit eientei, she’d probably just get lost in the bamboo grove and so just end up hanging out with Mokou and Tewi instead (she runs into Reisen the most in the human village). I think she’d often be trying to get gossip/information out of either or both of them (one is really old and the other hears a lot from all the rabbits) but ends up just bumming around and eating snacks with them instead.

She goes to all sort of places on youkai mountain. I think she’s only tolerated in kappa territory because she’s in the good graces of Nitori. usually, anyway. Whenever Marisa makes Nitori mad, there will be a picture of Marisa in the kappa base with a caption that says ‘Kill on sight!!!’ until Marisa apologises enough. Conversely, she wouldn’t be allowed in tengu territory even if she was Aya’s best friend, which she isn’t, but she’s always trying to convince/bribe/flirt her way in. ...And also when she stops by the moriya shrine, she always asks the gods to give her blessing for free and then calls them stingy when they don’t.

She’s probably popular among parts in the human village, being one of the premier incident resolvers! There would also be people who are wary of her because she’s a weird witch and all, but I think I like the irony that humans would go to Reimu first for their youkai problems, but prefer the presence of Marisa who seems less ‘otherworldly’ in comparison in their eyes. I think Marisa would be happy with that though, as it adds to her charm as a mysterious heroine who comes and goes.

and last thought for now (this is a lie. more in tags), though she’s not the only person who takes it upon herself to make sure the hakurei shrine or its shrine maiden doesn’t collapse upon itself, she’s definitely its number one most frequent visitor.

As much as I love the 90s Moomins, one thing that is missing is how much more attitude the characters have in the books sometimes, like

Fredrikson, in the first episode of Moominpappa's Memoirs: Hey, Edvard? Wouldn't you bathe in the river today? The water is nice and warm and the riverfloor is the softest sand ever!

Edvard: *goes to swim in the river and causes a wave so Moominpappa and co can get their boat to the sea, nothing more about that*

Edvard, in the third episode: *casually turns up to the wedding, because he likes weddings, everybody is friendly, nothing more about that*

vs in the book

Fredrikson: oh hey, Edvard, we haven't seen you in a whi-

Edvard: THERE YOU FUCKING ARE! WATER NICE AND WARM AND THE FLOOR SOFT SAND? BITCH IT WAS ICE COLD AND G R A V E L

Belated wip Wednesday:

Fealty Eadwulf and Jester are just so 🥺💕 to me:

“Do you feel safe with me? I want you to feel safe with me.”

Eadwulf’s brows furrow into his trademark scowl, “keeping you safe is my job.”

“No, you take care of Fjord. Who takes care of you?”

Eadwulf scowls at the floor. Jester wonders if he heard her. Then, he glances up, realizes she’s still watching him, and stares at the floor. His scowl breaks.

“…you did. With the pirates.”

“And the healing,” she adds. It strikes her that she’s never hesitated to use her healing magic on him. The rest of the Nein always teased her about being reluctant to waste spells, but it’s never crossed her mind to not heal Eadwulf. The only person she does that to is Fjord.

Eadwulf nods silently.

“Did Astrid take care of you?”

The furrow in his brows is back, but it’s not for his usual scowl.

“Our methods are different.”

“How?”

Eadwulf glances at the blankets strung up over their heads, “not so much coddling.”

Jester stifles a giggle at the thought of Astrid and the other Scourgers making blanket forts. It’s like putting a funny hat on a lion. “No blanket forts?”

Eadwulf’s face relaxes to the point it may even be called a smile, “no.”

“And you took care of her?”

Eadwulf shrugs, “she is the Master. That is my job.”

“I think your Master is supposed to take care of you. Or else what good are they?”

Eadwulf’s shoulders come up, “Trent trained us well. We’re not soft. We don’t need pampering. Don’t mistake me for human.”

“You keep saying that.”
