The Diagnosis of Chris Redfield
It all began in the spring of 1998. Raccoon City had a case of cannibalistic murders and mysterious animal attacks, both on hikers and residents that lived near Raccoon Forest. The city’s police department guess a satanic cult of some kind, probably on narcotics of some kind, given the extent of the violent attacks. However, as the investigation continued, they guessed the base of operations for this cult was somewhere deep within Arklay Mountains, about northwest of the city. With public pressure, the RPD gave in to and put a specialized task force on the team known as the Special Tactics and Rescue Service, AKA S.T.A.R.S., led by Captain Albert Wesker.
Shortly after STARS is put on the case, they send Team Bravo into the suspected hideout deep within said mountains in the mid-summer. Radio contact is lost. Alpha Team went in, finding out that Bravo was attacked, and fled into the mansion and split up.
And it’s here. It is here that young Chris Redfield’s life takes a turn for the worst. Without getting too into detail, he straight up is thrown from the world of a young cop who just had fun little shooting competitions with his friends, to a gritty, beefcake, boulder punching man who lost his memory at one point due to a concussion caused by a fake Ada Wong, regains those memories, and eventually finds the origins of Oswald Spencer’s research and destroys the origination of the Mold.
But that’s just it. How does he stay this cool, badass character that just shows up and sprays down zombies like it’s nothing? Well...he doesn’t. I think the leader of the Alpha team has severe PTSD.
Please note that this post will be talking about severe trauma from a psychiatric perspective so please, if you see or think anything might affect you, I beg you to turn away. This post will also have spoilers for the recent Resident Evil 8 game for those that haven’t played.
So let’s start by defining PTSD. According to the American Psychiatric Association, PTSD is and I quote: “A psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, or war/combat.”
Okay so at the very least, Chris Redfield is probably already a qualified patient. “Terrorist act”? Check. I would absolutely say that the events of Resident Evil 6 count as that. “War/Combat”? We saw that for the most part in RE5. “Natural Disaster?” Aaaaah. Maybe six or seven? That one’s kinda weird to be honest. But serious accident? Yes. Absolutely! Why? Because, referenced in Resident Evil 5, we see Jill Valentine, who is basically his sidekick/best friend from the very first game, and even survives on her own for a bit in Resident Evil 3, falls out of a window after attacking Albert Wesker who betrayed STARS and was infected with some form of the zombie virus. Chris presumed her death, only to find out she survived the fall through, ya know, video game logic, and was experimented on by Wesker.
Which honestly, I was surprised he didn’t come back too. I mean, in Resident Evil 5, his last hoorah is literally in a freaking volcano! What is up with that?! But his son, Jake Muller (who until RE6 didn’t even know who his dad was), appeared and I really expected Wesker to just pop up like “Hey son. I’m back with those smokes. Also, you’re immune to the C-Virus so congrats. My zombie body helped make you with your mom--” Alright that got too weird. ANYWAY.
We’re here because Chris, in all fairness, has trauma. But let’s try and figure this out. The A.P.A. states that PTSD symptoms, though they can vary in specificity, fall into four categories:
Intrusion
Avoidance
Alterations in cognition and mood
Alteration in arousal and reactivity
Now I will say I actually have PTSD of my own. Avoidance and Intrusion are absolutely symptoms I got through, as well as Cognition and Mood alterations when triggered.
Something I noticed is Chris definitely doesn’t avoid anything so we can go ahead and cross that off. Chris Redfield always dives in headfirst cuz well...he’s the American Boy. He’s the definition of charge in and be the American hero because human lives are at stake so the second one is crossed off.
Now the third one, Cognitions and Mood. This basically means important details of events aren’t remembered, everything’s kinda blurred, which results in detached behavior and Survivor’s Guilt. Now while Survivor’s Guilt is often a result of PTSD, it isn’t a form of PTSD. It’s just another symptom. It’s basically kinda like when you eat way, way too many blue gummy bears and then your poop is blue. It’s blue because of the gummy bears. If you didn’t have the Gummy Bear, you don’t have the blue poop. 
Fun fact, that’s an actual thing that happened to my dad one Easter, but I think it might’ve actually been jelly beans. I can’t really remember.
Survivor’s Guilt could very well be something Chris suffers from, dating all the way back to the Mansion Incident in the first Resident Evil. He was one of few people who survived that entire incident and what happened afterward? Did he take a mental health break? Nope! Chris takes on a mission in Europe, as seen in Resident Evil 2 when Claire is going to Raccoon City to try and find her brother. 
Now let’s think about this. Rather than rest and recover from this event, he proceeds to pursue his investigation of the Umbrella Corporation. Chris is treated at the hospital and, despite trying to report their findings to the police chief, Irons, STARS is ultimately shut down. Chris then reports everything he needs to the FBI and even assaults a fellow officer.
The RPD tells Chris he needs a break and he says he’s going to Europe for a “vacation” but this was just an excuse to get to Europe in order to enact his vengeance on Umbrella for all the Hell it caused his city and possibly even the world.
That’s nuts. I wish I could do that at my work and get away with it. Just fight someone on the shift and then go to Corporate armed with nothing but a fry basket, ready to take them out.
This leads me to that fourth category: Alterations in arousal and reactivity. This is defined as reckless or self-destructive behavior, angry outbursts, hypervigilance, and even trouble sleeping.
This is entirely reckless. I mean, I get it. Going rogue because this company is obviously evil and has a hand in bio-terrorism. Yeah. That’s fair. Let’s take them out. But if only it were that easy, as we can see throughout the franchise. Despite Umbrella BARELY hiding their attempts at world domination, as seen in RE6, no one really flinches. They’re somehow still in the running.
Having said that, in Resident Evil 4, three years after RE3, Leon actually says in the introduction that Umbrella was wiped out by the investigation. Without digging into this, I’m presuming this is because Jill managed to escape Raccoon City and was able to report her findings as one of five survivors, six if you count Ada Wong. Which does make me wonder how they’re still hanging around like a more gruesome Team Rocket.
And the last category is Intrusive. Now, this is where this unravels, actually. Intrusive is basically intrusive thoughts. Those little thoughts or images that flash through just enough to unsettle you and if you’re like me and have diagnosed OCD, then you play these thoughts over and over in your head.
It’s like you want to go to the park. Okay, great, the park is outside. Nice. The outside is where people are. People aren’t that great, in my perspective. Bad people exist. Bad people like to hurt people. I’m a people that could be hurt by a bad person. Because of that, I can’t go to the park now. 
It’s like being stuck in a loop that wants you to be sad. Like, thank you brain. I just wanted to get stuck in the baby swing but now I’m going to sit on my phone and scroll through TikTok and be sad.
Intrusive thoughts are what had me curious. The intrusive category is actually where most people are commonly confused about what PTSD is as this is where we find that flashbacks fall into. A great example of a flashback in Resident Evil is actually in the fifth game. This is where Jill Valentine doesn’t really become Chris’ partner. We learn that during the last bout, they had against Wesker is where she’d fallen out the window as I mentioned earlier. This is explained in a flashback.
That’s interesting to me. Yes, from a storytelling perspective, it makes sense, but Chris remembers such vivid details, even Wesker’s eyes glowing.
But what’s interesting is, this event, in particular, seemed to affect Chris the most. Despite that his sister has been kidnapped by people affiliated with both Umbrella and Wesker, Jill’s “death” shook him up the most, which is fair. His best friend and partner throughout the entire thing, someone he shared his trauma with and even started the BSAA with was just gone. No even a body. Three months and nothing was found before she was declared dead. He dove into his work head-on, taking every mission he could!
This is why he takes deaths so personally. This is also shown in Resident Evil 6 when Piers, a young soldier who looked up to Chris and helped find him after he lost his memory after an incident with a fake Ada Wong, is infected with the zombie virus, he holds onto his humanity in order to save Chris, but ultimately does die in the underwater lab facility, supposedly by water pressure before losing his mind to the virus.
The former Alpha Team consisted of the following:
Chris Redfield
Albert Wesker
Barry Burton
Brad Vickers
Jill Valentine
Joseph Frost
All members of the original team that infiltrated the Spencer Mansion in RE1. Let’s go ahead and cross some people off.
Wesker? Dead as of Resident Evil 5. Good. Stay dead. You suck! You’re like the Capcom version of Ganondorf, just stay dead, dude!
Burton?  Alive, but hasn’t appeared in a main RE game since the first.
Vickers? Dead as of the third installment of the game. He was the pilot who sacrificed himself after being bitten during the attempted escape from Nemesis in Raccoon City before the place was blown sky-high. You actually see him later again in the third game attacking the cop you meet in the second Resident Evil, interestingly enough, but what’s sad really is that he still has some semblance of his humanity and ends up groaning out the cop’s name before attacking and infecting that man. Poor guy. Really was just a poor soul.
Moving on. Jill Valentine? Still alive and definitely kicking but she’s become more of an iconic character for the movies. So from a lore perspective, as of the end of 5, she is no longer in the main series that we’ve seen. Mostly just referenced. This might change however later on as I do believe there will be a ninth installment coming soon if not already in the works as of writing this.
Frost? Dead. He was actually the first to die as soon as they touched down at Spencer Mansion, by zombie-dogs, no less. He stood no chance.
That means, of the original team, Chris is the only one still active. This means that he is the most trained to handle situations from a tactical perspective, but not an emotional one.
I mean, we see him really weighing the whole situation in Resident Evil 8. He’s seen smoking a cigarette, clearly stressed out and tired of dealing with everything, despite creating an Anti-Umbrella team called Blue Umbrella. Yeah. Not that creative, my guy. But he’s tired of hearing and seeing people die which...is fair.
I’d say he does have PTSD and it is Survivor’s Guilt.
Yes, he and his team are ready to die, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s losing people he’s had long nights with, sharing beer, shooting pool, busting bad scientists with, and he still loses them.
In the military, a soldier doesn’t fear his own death but the death of his comrades.
Survivor’s Guilt is really just a terrible thing. I’d say actually several characters in the Resident Evil franchise have this, including poor Mia Winters!
Chris might have it but uses it to his advantage. He uses the knowledge he’s gained from staying alive in an attempt to help others stay alive and ultimately bring down the Umbrella Coorporation.
Ultimately, Chris Redfield seems to be wanting to make up for the lives lost to this organization.

Halloween: Stray kids ver.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There may be mistakes in the text because my native language is not English. Thank you for your likes!
WARNINGS: fluff, Halloween, costumes, pumpkins, house decorations, etc.
Number of characters in the text: 5571
Chan He's probably going to be the one who does nothing. He doesn't consider Halloween to be a holiday that can be considered very big or his favorite, no. The most he'll do is dress up in a costume and hang a garland of shards over your bed. "I thought it suited me to be a vampire, and also those shards were really cute, so I wanted to hang them in the living room." He's five years old… So if you make him a pumpkin or a Halloween card with your own hands, he'll be over the moon. "Wow, you really made that yourself? Wow!!! You're so good, thank you so much, I'm happy!!!"
Lee Know The king of acting. He'll probably want to make a little video of his transformation and how skillfully he'll scare you and the younger members in the dorm, so expect trouble. "BOOOOOO! HAHA, were you really scared?! What a laugh, are you really that scared?" But of course, he'll only do it as a joke. He has a lot of scary stories. But most of them he makes up as he goes along, to make it much scarier and more interesting. "And then I turn around and there's a woman standing there in all white and with her hair slicked back on her forehead and she's reaching out to me! Boo! That's exactly what she did, and then I ran away, but I kept hearing her standing there still saying boo! Ah, come on, I didn't make that story up, it really isn't made up!" Sexiest and most provocative Halloween costume. For example, an incubus or other demon is literally ready to go with his bare torso to embarrass you. "Come on, don't stare, baby~ You see me almost every night, isn't my body enough for you?"
Changbin He's hungry. He's hungry all the time, so all he'll be doing during all of Halloween is helping you cook and eat. In fact, while cooking, he eats, too. "I don't understand why people don't like the taste of raw dough, it's actually really good, especially if it's chocolatey! Ah, you think I'm weird?" I have a feeling he's going to be made to dress up in a ridiculous costume. Like a rabbit or a pig or Dwaekki. "Does pink look good on me? Yes? If you really like it, I'll wear it all the time."
Hyunjin He hates Halloween because he will be the one who gets pranked the most on this holiday. For example, suddenly a toy spider is tossed up to him by the scruff of his neck or accidentally jumped out from around a corner, then Hyunjin is already screaming at the top of his voice and running away. "AAAAAH, THERE WAS A HUGE SPIDER, A SPIDER! I'M NOT GOING TO BE THERE, PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE, I'M SCARED." He's the one who will have the best costume. And he'll brag about it all the time, thinking it's his virtue, because it's a costume he made himself. "You really like my suit? Thanks, honey, I made it myself~ Next year I'll make you one just like it!"
Han I have a feeling Han is a big anime fan, so he will definitely have a costume that is like a cosplay on a certain anime character. "OMG, look, I'm Gojo Satoru! How about we get you a uniform costume from Attack of the Titans and the two of us can be like cosplayers?"He really likes to nag for candy, whether he does it with the older members of the group or with you, he just HAS to get candy, preferably more than five pieces. But if someone doesn't give him the candy willingly, he'll steal it sooner or later. "HONEY, I STOLE CANDY FROM LEE KNOW-HYUN, WE HAVE TIME TO ESCAPE, LET'S RUN."
Felix The one who does spontaneous Halloween shopping. He literally flies up to you with phone in hand, happily shoving it in your face for you to look at what he ordered for decor. "Look, look! These are scented candles that smell like fall and coffee and pumpkins, they're made in the shape of crockpots, they're so cool, right? And this plaid, which also has shards and pumpkins, it's very pretty too, isn't it?" More than anything, he loves to cook, so he does that on Halloween, too. For example, he might bake some cupcakes, draw eyes on them and things like that, and also make mulled wine, which he associates with fall and Halloween. In short, a lot of food. "I decided to add pumpkin seeds here for beauty, but they turned out to be too oily for that…"
Seungmin Will Seungmin do anything during Halloween. No. He's literally the epitome of the smiley face "🧍", he does absolutely nothing. "Why do you need another garland in black and orange when you've already used one? Don't you think that's enough? Oh, are you still thinking of making pumpkins? Why?" He knows you like the Halloween atmosphere, so he'll definitely make you go with him to walk around the night city and take lots of pictures in the park. "Yeah, that's a great angle, honey. Bring the pumpkin a little closer to you, that's it, well done. Great shot, you're adorable."
Jeongin He's definitely someone who will share a lot of candy with those around him and won't keep any for himself. Most of the time, almost all the candy goes to you. "Hey, baby," he whispers, poking his head through the doorway and showing you a bucket half full of candy. "I found some more candy for you, take it." Starts the holiday preparations a week in advance, like Felix, but doesn't do spontaneous shopping, but considers with you whether you need it. "I saw a beautiful garland of black and orange pumpkins in a store near our company, I think you might really like it. We can go out this weekend and pick out what we need together."

If you take requests, could you do tiny whumpee with creepy whumper prompts?
Of course i can! It's my specialty :3 both tiny whump and creepy whumpers but i feel like it has to be obvious by now
we love tiny whump here yes we do
Creepy whumper tiny whump prompts ✨
"You're so little! I could crush your skull with my pinky..."
"Scream louder, would you? I can't hear you from down there."
"One more mistake and I'm introducing you to my cat."
"Meet my pet tarantula! Oh, would you look at that - it's dinner time! Have fun you two!"
"It would be so easy to break those fragile little wings you have. How have you kept them safe all this time? A breath could bend them."
"Careful now, or I might just become bored and hang you out the window again. And who knows what wild animals will notice you this time.
"Oh, I've got a fun game! It's called 'Let's see how many things I can stack on top of you before you go splat'. You'll love it!"
"Oh look what you've done now. What a mess. Who knew so much blood could fit in such a small body?"
"Are you like a lizard? If I cut your limbs off, will they grow back? 'No'? Well, have you ever tried?"
"You know, I remember a very long time ago in kindergarten, whenever we found a lady bug, we would always tear the poor thing's wings out so it couldn't fly away. This little escape attempt reminded me of that."
"Hold this for me, would you? Aw, come on! It's just a pen! What good is an assistant if they can’t even hold a pen right?"
"I love feeling your little tummy. Your breathing is so quick, like a bunny's. And so easy to squeeze it out of you."
"I've got a leaking problem in the bathroom, so I thought we could use that for a little fun. This cup is not big enough to catch all the water, but it's big enough to fit you in. It's gonna be like a little escape room! If you don't drink enough of the water or find a way to remove the weight tied to you, you'll drown. High stakes, more fun, right?"
"Oh, that is just adorable. Don't run so fast, I can barely keep up!"
"I know you're in this room, and when I find you, you are spending the rest of your life in the oven."
“Silly thing, you can’t eat meat! You’re prey. Prey doesn’t get to taste blood.”
“Here you go. That should be enough for like, a week, maybe two. What? What’s with the face? You’re small, you’ll live on crumbs.”
“Hey, wanna help me count my teeth? Aaaaah...”
“Your friends are coming for you? Oh, I am shaking in my boots. What are your friends gonna do, tickle me? Hm, I really hope they’re on their way now. I can’t wait to meet them. I can show you how little effort it takes to pop their little heads off their little shoulders.”
And another post with more prompts, less dialogue. In case you need more tiny pain in your life :) And also in case dialogue is not really what you were expecting, I kinda just felt like being very self-indulgent and talking through my writing again but if you’d like more feel free to threaten my family for it
That sounded mean, I don’t mean it like that, please don’t be afraid to send asks!!

TWILIGHT PRINCESS FINAL VOLUME SPOILERS!!!
I READ THE WHOLE THING LAST NIGHT OF COURSE AND IT WAS AMAZING like there was a couple decisions here and there that I wasn’t so totally hype about but they still made sense enough but otherwise HYPE HYPE HYYYYYYYYYPE~~~!
For example I didn’t totally looooooove how it ended implying the shipping between Shad and Ilia... But admittedly only bc I’m biased and I shipped Shad with Zelda long ago. But it makes sense that canonically Shad cannot be courageous enough to ask out a princess as a simple scholar, in a fanfic sure but in canon he of course can’t and also they didn’t really get any chance to meet/mingle much in the manga BUT I think if they did Shad/TP!Zelda would definitely make a match~ X3 But as they are in this manga, the implied Shad/Ilia at the end isn’t the worst, at least Ilia isn’t left lonely, but yeah, me craves a more exciting romance!
Thankfully it delivers us at least one page of that lol and omfg YAAAAAAAAAS LINK THE HERO FINALLY GETS HIS PROPER HERO’S REWARD!! I mean kinda Midna had to be sassy about it at first of course but AAAAAH so satisfying to finally see Link get a canon kiss from someone, even if it is a sad farewell kiss too... T_T!!! AAAAAAH POOR LINK come ooooon Midna would it have ended the world if he came with you?? Eh, maybe, actually... XD;;
And I can’t say much for the action of the final battle since action in manga generally just doesn’t do as much for me as seeing it animated but I will say I at least really enjoyed the exchange between Ganondorf and Link and Zelda after the battle, because they made a few things clear that maybe wasn’t so clear in the original game. Like in the game it was kinda unclear at the end bc it showed Zant at that moment and kinda made it confusing, kinda implying Zant killed Ganondorf in revenge, but ofc that would be stupid unbelievable for Noodle boy to do that to Big G, and this time in the manga they don’t even show Zant in that scene at all, he’s already done-zo. They make it clear thru Zelda herself that Ganondorf snuffed himself out, but also there’s this look in her eyes when she says it, like she’s stating a fact but one she knows is only a fact for now, she knows he’s not truly dead, but dormant. She knows the next version of her is gonna have one HELL of a time with this bastard...
And IDK personally I just think it’s funny too, if I’m reading right, that Link was basically like, “Okay I’ve put a sword through your chest but like I don’t wanna TOTALLY kill you bc like after all that would make the side of light seem just as bad as evil and since we’re all in this Triforce together our infinite battle is just the order and balance of this world and thus it cannot end...” And Ganondorf is basically like, “FUCK YO HARMONY BITCH” right back at him lmfaoooo xD And then right before he HURRKs himself he tells Zelda “C ya later sweetie~” so yeah that’s why we/she knows he’s not gone for good... Maybe setting up future Breath of the Wild manga??!!?! PLEASE AND LETS GOOOOOOO~! XD

POKEMON SCARLET DIARY #1
i've decided i'm gonna be narrating my experience through pokemon scarlet in here, i thought it would be fun :) i'll post all spoilers below the line and i'll create a tag you can block btw!!
anyways, let's start with my first day (idk if i'll be able to fit everything into one post but i'll try)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is my character!!! it's been a while since i played a female character in a pokemon game so i chose the girlie; i like how androgynous she looks like tho, it's nice :)
Tumblr media
i am in love with the starter house just look at this!!! beautiful!!
Tumblr media
anyways i chose fuecoco as my starter and named him drac :)
also i really liked how the introduced the starters and how you could hang around for a bit before deciding, it was a very neat touch!!! and clavell feels more like a professor in this game that the actual professor, which actually makes sense as he is the one with a plant-based name. not sure if i trust him yet, tho.
Tumblr media
i met nemona!!! she's nice i really like her :) also SHE'S LOADED WTF???? have you seen her mansion??? i'm really curious about her parents, i hope they get shown in the game. at first i thought her mum would be geeta but she's been shown talking to her and the tone was different (they could still be sisters?) i just know they're gonna be important, that's for sure.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i also met koraidon and omg the anime-esque aura of him! the dramatism!! i love it honestly and had a blast going through that initial cave and stuff
Tumblr media Tumblr media
arven is incredibly different to how i imagined him to be and i'm so intrigued to know him better, he obviously has a secret agenda that has to do with his mum and area zero but for now i have no idea, it definitely shows that he's fundamentally connected to the main story
Tumblr media
this was my team when i got to the first pokemon center by the way!!! i'll update it before every gym but yeah, these were my firsts!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I WASN'T EXPECTING HER TO TERASTALYZE OUT OF THE BLUE LIKE THAT???? it was kinda hard defeating her pawmi, but it helped me rapidly understand terastalyzing lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
there's churros and tortilla in the game 10/10 goty 😭😭😭
Tumblr media
battled team star and got terrastalyzation through it!!! i like these guys, they give me team skull vibes and that's like my favourite 'evil' team so yay! also there seems to be something between them and clavell... and penny as well. humm....
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
after getting lost in the city i got to the academy!!! and aaaaah probably my favourite part of the game so far... when i tell you when i was like 10 i used to imagine i was a teacher in pokemon academy™️, used to give lectures to my stuffed animals using the whiteboard i had in my room, and used to write pokemon exams in word and grade them.. so yeah i think i spent more time that i should've had here but i don't care
Tumblr media
i NEED to know who this woman is she sounds like james bond but cooler and i can't wait to meet her. also she has a bomb ass name.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i'm also loving the lore of this region!!!! i read the scarlet book back to back and i cannot wait to uncover its secrets it all sounds like that disney movie with the nerdy archaeologist and atlantis and i can't get enough of it
Tumblr media
i finally got to meet the professor!! i fucking love how she's literally in the field and that's why she can't join us, i want to go to that area zero so bad please let me in
Tumblr media
ah yes, a 1200€ per month spacious apartment in madrid, just like in real life
Tumblr media
finally started the quest yayy
also TROPIUS <3333
Tumblr media
i can't post any more pictures but i also unlocked rideable koraidon and had my first picnic :)

Legend of Vajra Chapter 36: The Raid on Shadowtown
https://archiveofourown.org/works/43208574/chapters/110986716
Shadow Town, Nar Shaddaa
Kira watched her Master through her eyelashes. He was deeply disquieted, and trying his best to hide it. His sabaac face was getting better, but she was still able to peer at the turmoil behind it. Every now and then, his lips trembled. He discreetly wiped his eyes. When she had her eyes open, he put on an air of confidence that looked hollow.
But he couldn’t stop himself falling into a moody silence after several minutes of keeping up the façade.
T7 had the wheel, and Kira wondered if he’d have found a way of cheering up their friend.
Right before disembarking, she reached out for his hand. “Master… I know why you didn’t let me fight those Power Guards. Thank you.”
Genuine pleasure settled onto his face for a moment, and he squeezed her hand. “Come on. We still have an evil Darth to slay.”
*
BBBBZZZZTTT
The noise was unbearable. They brought ear-splitting headaches and intense nausea, though he had precious little food left in his gut anymore. He clenched his teeth so hard he could feel the muscles in his neck bunch up.
“Please, stop!” he whimpered. “Gah!”
BIP BOOP BOP BZZZZZZZZZT!
A strange, constricted squelch escaped his throat before he could continue his mental begging. “What… more… do… you… want?”
BZZZZZKKKRRRT
He fell on his knees, head arching farther back than his natural spine would have allowed. “AAAAAH! I’ve given you everything!”
KRRRRRRRZZZZRRRRZRZRZTTTRT!
He screamed at the top of his lungs, a hoarse, defeated cry. He thrashed around like a wild animal trying to escape a snare even if it meant breaking its spine. “URGHHH! GHH! JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, DAMMIT!”
Obey. Kill Jedi. Kill the Republic. Kill, kill! Kill!
RRRZZZZRZRRTZZZZRTBZZZZZZTZKKKZ
He tried to weep, but his eyes had been surgically replaced with cybernetics which lacked such hindrances like lacrimal glands. That procedure, like everything else done to him, had been performed without the bother of anesthesia, so the reminder was enough to break him. “OKAY! OKAY! I’LL DO ANYTHING! JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT’S REST, PLEASE!”
Relief coursed through his veins as the intensity of the sounds lessened. Even though he yearned to remain curled up a while longer, he jumped to his feet in an instant, eager to please his new master. He stood stock-still, waiting for his master’s—no, his owner’s enemies. He had a sneaking suspicion who was approaching the door, but tried to stop his brain from supplying any further information.
Attaching names just made it harder when he had to kill them.
The doors parted wide, and a pair of Jedi entered the factory floor. Their eyes instantly fell on him. The boy froze in horror and disbelief, while the girl called out his name in disbelief.
A voice crackled from the speaker next to him. “Welcome, Jedi. I am so touched to behold this… touching reunion. You’ve found your missing friend, the dear Agent Galen again. Congratulations!” There was a sound like metal clashing rhythmically.
“Sadic!” The boy hissed. “Is this how Sith operate? Hiding behind lies, deceptions, and long-distance calls? Come out and face me, you coward!”
“That’s LORD Sadic to you, little alien. And you are far beneath my notice. I would love to stay and chat, but your friend has been quite eager to meet you. I hope you appreciate how much care I took of him. He’s mountains stronger than he used to be. Galen? Kill him. Kill them both.”
Galen squashed his momentary hesitation. With a resounding yell from his electronic voice, he charged with his electrosword. Behind him, pods began to open up, and deadly Mk-5s spilled out of them.
The Jedi warded off blow after blow with ease, the clash of lightsaber and electrosword creating a sound unlike anything Galen had ever heard before. It was a strangely harmonic sound which did not belong on a battlefield.
The boy took his blows without flinching. He did not take a single step back as the Fives marched closer.
“I still haven’t wiped all their puny minds yet, but combined with Agent Galen, these seven Mark Fives should be more than enough of a match for you. Goodbye, Jedi.”
“T7, seal off all doors and shut down the cameras! I’m going to make Sadic pay for this. Kira, stay back!”
“But Master—”
“Please, Kira!” The Mk-5s were in the thick of it now, and the boy was darting from one cyborg to the next to keep them from losing interest in him.
Galen grunted. “You can’t win fighting like this,” his new droid voice boomed in his ears. “You can’t protect her, and you can’t defeat all of us!”
He was shocked to see the smile on the boy’s face. “I don’t have to beat you. Once you can no longer move, tell me how to release them from Sadic’s control.”
Galen did not understand that, but wasn’t given a chance. The boy suddenly exploded into such intense motion that even his cybernetic eyes couldn’t keep track of him. The boy seemed to vanish from one spot and reappear in two more. He would unleash a barrage of quick but powerful moves, then home in on a different target.
Galen tried to rush him, but he only got one step before he was the one being pressed. The boy leapt in front of him, his Lightsaber aimed in a downward chop. Galen, aware of his increased strength, was astounded by the force, which brought him down to a knee.
The boy did not stay in one place long, moving from one cyborg to the next. Each Mk-5 could only take a step or two before they were pinned down, their weapons barely able to keep the flickering bolt of lightning that was his Lightsaber.
But pretty soon, they had managed to converge the Jedi.
Sweat poured down his dusk-blue face, but he was not breathing too hard. Galen’s onboard sensors had not picked up a decrease in strength either, so perhaps he could keep this up indefinitely.
But he was facing all seven Mk-5s now. Together, they managed what they couldn’t apart—they returned to the offensive. It was only a matter of time now… Or so he thought.
After seventy-two seconds of fighting like this—or seven hundred and twelve seconds since the first blow had been thrown—Galen’s sensors began warning him of a catastrophic build-up of heat. The Jedi smiled. “Right on schedule,” he breathed.
Galen could only gape. The boy switched to offense again, not allowing the Mk-5s a chance to cool off. Pretty soon, smoke began to rise up from gaps in their plates, and they all stopped moving. Some fell to the floor. All the LEDs stopped blinking.
He had completely shut them down simply by pushing them this hard, Galen included.
“That was… that was…!” Galen blinked. “It’s stopped! Oh, thank god, the noise has stopped! He’s gone, for now!”
The boy—Jedi Devarath—surprised him by giving him a tight hug. “I’m sorry, Agent!” he whispered. “I’m sorry I couldn’t stop this—”
“Not your fault, Jedi. You… you did the best you could.”
“I’m sorry about this, Galen. But I need to know. How is he controlling you? Can the Power Guards be freed?”
Galen had to think. His onboard computer was offline, so he had to remember the old-fashioned way, a skill that now seemed alien to him. “There’s a console in the room behind me. Sadic’s inside with it. It controls everything. It’s what stopped their minds from working. If you can get to it, if you can release them from Imp control… but I don’t think they’ll get their minds back anytime soon.”
“Got it. Kira, stay with him. T7, come with me.”
As he walked away, Padawan Kira sighed. “Hello again, Agent.”
“Hello to you too, Padawan Kira.”
“We’ll get you through this.”
“No, you can’t. Please… just kill me. Kill all of us.”
“If I do that, I’d be disregarding the sacrifice my Master made for me. He killed all the Power Guards at the safehouse, so I wouldn’t have to. I’m sorry, Agent. Sleep now.”
He did not think that had been a Force suggestion. It did not feel like one. Merely the sum total of weeks’ worth of exhaustion catching up on him. He surrendered to sleep, unwillingly at first, but growing more eager as he fell deeper into it. Perhaps in sleep, he would be a man again.
*
T7 opened the door for Vajra. Sadic was waiting beyond him.
“You locked my door?” The Sith sounded amused. “Did you think I’d run from you?”
“Why not? Sith only seem to win when they have deceit on their side. You, especially. Not much of a track record. You should watch what you eat, by the way. You’ve put on a few kilos.”
Sadic laughed, standing to his full height. “How rude! Tell me, do you not know death when you see it?” He ignited his Lightsabers and twirled them around at a high-speed. “I have put myself through the Power Guard Process! I am invincible now!”
Vajra gave him his most doubtful look. “Right.”
“At a loss for words?” Sadic taunted with relish. “I don’t blame you!” He kicked a pillar beside him, destroying it. He picked up a console beyond it with one hand and tossed it into a corner with such force that it crumpled. “I am no longer limited by my weak flesh! I am powerful! I am almighty! I have surpassed my Master, and his Master too!”
“The Emperor, you mean?”
“Oh, yes! He is a being of magnificent power, but even he cannot match my might now! My body is a fortress! It is composed not of durasteel like those poor grunts you slew, but Mandalorian Iron! I had to have it shipped in from offworld!”
“Mandalorian Iron, eh? You don’t say.” As Vajra recalled, Beskar was heavier than durasteel, but no better a conductor.
“And all it cost me were fifty dominated Mk-3s. Darth Angral was pleased with his pithy tribute. Enough to grant me my request. The poor, poor fool. I will kill you, his target, first, as my first act of defiance. Angral will fall next. No one can stop me! My body is indestructible now! And my mind! Oh, my beautiful mind! I’ve already dreamed up fifty ways to kill you.”
“You’re all talk, aren’t you?”
“Just today. What’s victory with no one to share it with?”
“You can’t win, Sadic. You’re a fool who doesn’t realize the magnitude of the error he made. You should have at least worked out the kinks before making the transfer. Not that you were ever going to beat me. Still, I know the weakness of the Mk-5s. You are no different.”
“I am no mere Mk-5! Don’t compare me to them! No, unlike them, the Force is my servant! I am the new and improved Mark Six!”
Sadic attacked, his diatribe over at last. Which was fine. Caught off-guard by the man’s stupidity, Vajra had needed the extra seconds to recover. “T7, stay back!”
Sadic’s sabers rained down on top of him one after another. He was the most formidable swordsman Vajra had faced until now.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t saying very much. His blows were astonishingly strong, that much was true, but even Kira should have no problem keeping up with this speed.
The twin sabers blazed a cruel red picture into the air around them, attempting to spear him from a dozen different angles. Vajra intercepted the strikes with no problem, trying his best to project nonchalance. “You gave up that much, yet you’re only this good,” he tutted. “I suppose you were a Sith plumber before your makeover.”
“WATCH YOUR INSOLENT MOUTH, YOU STUPID CUR!” Sadic’s rage burst out. “AFTER EVERYTHING I DID, EVERYTHING I GAVE UP, I WAS TREATED LIKE A MERE PAWN! BUT I HAVE REAL POWER NOW, OH YES!”
“No, you don’t.” Vajra stopped playing around. His riposte destroyed one of the hilts, and a red blade died like a guttered lamp. He sidestepped Sadic’s next, furious attack, before slicing at his gut.
The cyborg Sith shrieked with laughter. “Mandalorian iron, remember?”
“Oh, I do.” Vajra attacked again, this time at his chest. He stabbed thrice, each in a different spot since he didn’t want to accidentally breach the Sith’s defenses and put him out of his misery. The Sith reared up, taking his remaining Lightsaber in both hands and raising it above his head.
Vajra spun out of the arc, then flipped over the roundhouse kick that followed. He slashed the leg as it passed, then attacked the stomach and upper torso a few more times.
“That must be what a mosquito bite feels like!” Sadic laughed. Vajra ignored him. He evaded another blow, jumped over yet another, then blocked the third. Slipping forward, he struck a few more times at the chestplate before slipping behind the lumbering cyborg. He struck him again in the shoulder before he could turn, then upped the tempo of his strikes.
The startled cyborg was no longer able to attack. It was all he could do now to keep track of the Raudra. Vajra did not know why he bothered blocking his strikes, given his supreme confidence in the strength of Mandalorian Iron, but the extra movement did not slow down his shell’s rise in temperature.
Since his opponent was fighting back at all, Vajra decided to enjoy the duel. He no longer tried to attack the Beskar shell, but continued fighting like he was in any ordinary duel. It was some time before the cyborg gasped.
“What’s going on?”
“Your parts are overheating. It didn’t help that your shell took so many blows. Machines heat up when stressed, it’s so basic! I suppose you normally leave this kind of thing to your subordinates!"
"No!” the Sith denied reality in vain. “It’s impossible! No! Stop! This can’t be happening!”
“You know what’s interesting? I only needed one Lightsaber.”
The Sith squeaked like a rat.
“Where’s your power? Where’s your servant, the Force?”
The cyborg recoiled. Dropping his Lightsaber, he tried to fire a salvo of Lightning, but it backfired; a cascade of small explosions ran up his mechanical arms, causing him to howl and smoke up even further. Vajra laughed hysterically.
“Basic physics, again!”
The Sith cursed, trying to pick up fragments of the destroyed pillar, but Vajra was faster. His Force Push knocked the cruel Sith Lord off his feet and landed him on his heavy metal ass. A resounding clang reverberated throughout the chamber, but Vajra was not done.
Picking up the Sith with the Force, he crashed him into the floor again and again until he was sure the man was thoroughly stunned. He left him in his crater and walked up to the console.
“T7? Free all the Power Guards and let them out of their capsules. We’re blasting our way out of this place.” Shadow Town was a high security prison complex, boasting important Imperial prisoners, including POWs. The second they’d found out about his destination, several Republic officials had called him to ask about freeing as many as he could. “And see if you can check that other thing for me.”
T7 whistled in triumph. Vajra grinned and gave Sadic a very satisfied smile. “I knew it.”
“What is it?” the Sith groaned. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“In your hurry for your upgrade, you allowed yourself to be plugged into the same server as the Power Guards. Big mistake, sweetums.”
“What?” The so-called genius’ mind took a moment to catch up. “No!”
“Yes. T7? Wipe out his puny mind.”
T7 obliged, and the Sith gave a most satisfying screech before piping down.
“Sadic?” Vajra activated the holocam on his datapad.
“Yes.”
“Hit yourself in the face, please. Repeatedly.”
The cyborg started punching himself in the nose without protest.
“Good. Stop. We’re going to put you to good use today. T7, can you find me a coolant tank? I want him back on his feet. And help me repair the damage to his circuits and wires.”

Colonel Bray had one of the cushiest jobs in the Empire. All he had to do was sit around all day and pretend to watch the screen. Most days he could idly play games on his personal datapad, or watch holofilms, or sports broadcasts. It was strange—when he’d first been told what he was being assigned to, he’d dreaded a career of ceaseless vigilance. Of always being on the alert for escapees or prison riots. Shadow Town was, after all, a jail for some of the Empire’s most dangerous prisoners.
But the reality had proven different. Fully aware of this facility’s nature, its architects had made this a nearly escape-proof prison. Inmates had about as much freedom as flies caught in a web. Nor did they come within reach of any tools that would allow them to escape. It wasn’t uncommon for bodies to atrophy from disuse, or minds to stop functioning properly.
In six years of working here, he had never seen so much as a hint of trouble. For him, in any case. The rank-and-file often had their hands full, catering to whatever official or Sith that happened to be passing through, or going through the millions of daily checks needed to ensure the facility’s integrity.
Which was why he was left completely stunned when the priority-one alarms began to blare. “What’s going on out there?” he asked nervously, but guards did not have the time to answer as everyone scrambled to their posts. Bray quickly squeezed his body into his uniform and raced to the command center.
“What’s going on here!?” he demanded, finally managing to insert some authority into his voice.
One of his aides, a small Twi’lek woman, looked up at him with an expression as shocked as he was. “Multiple checkposts have been destroyed sir. They’re under attack!”
“By whom?” he demanded. “The Republic? The Hutts?”
Another officer shook his head. “Whoever they are, sir, they have a heavily armored Sith in their lead!”
“What?!”
“He’s going on a major rampage, Sir. He’s cutting through all our people like weeds.”
“No. It couldn’t be.” Brax attempted to loosen his collar and belt. “Surely it’s a Jedi out there, disguised as Sith?”
“We don’t think so, Sir. Jedi don’t rampage like this. Our people aren’t even trying to fight.”
“Section Dorn reporting,” a tech reported. “They’ve just lost another squad. That’s… two hundred and seventy guards dead.”
“Impossible…” Bray began to sway, the room distorting and swimming in his eyes.
“He has backup! It’s a small army!”
“No way the Republic got so many people into Shadow Town without us noticing. It’s some Rogue Sith with delusions of grandeur…”
Bray tried to clutch a table to keep himself from falling over, but he fell with a loud crash. Heads whipped around, but no one dared leave their seats to help him up.
“Call for reinforcements!” Someone called.
“We can’t! We’re being jammed! The only thing the higher-ups know is that the enemy is a confirmed Sith!”
“South point has been overrun,” someone else said. “And Section Cherek.”
“Who in blazes are these guys?!” was the last thing Brax heard before passing out completely.

Agent Balkar’s Safehouse
Vajra stood in front of the holoprojector, waiting for the line to connect. After several minutes, the holo of Major Var Suthra appeared.
“Greetings, Jedi Vajra. Padawan Kira. I’m glad to hear from you again. I trust your raid on Shadowtown was productive?”
“It was,” Vajra confirmed. “I thought to loop in the Jedi Council too. They need to hear about this.”
“What? Why would you do that?” The Mon Cala appeared displeased.
“You know why. This experiment proved how dangerous the ‘victory at all costs’ mentality is. I want this entered in the Archives, which means that I want the Council to hear my final report on the matter.” Vajra gave him a furious glare. “I can’t believe what you allowed here, Major! And I can’t believe you asked me to clean up this mess for you! I hate to play the age card, but can you imagine the horrors I’ve witnessed?”
The Major deflated. “I’m sorry, Vajra. I wish there had been any other way.”
There was, Vajra thought furiously. You could have not okayed such horrific experiments. Or you could have put a ceiling on what they could and couldn’t do. Instead, they had a blank check, and their ‘subjects’ suffered for it.
A moment later, Masters Satele, Kaedan, Bakarn, and Gnost-Dural appeared. “Ah, hello there, Vajra. Major. I trust your news is good?”
“It is,” Vajra nodded. “Mission successful. All but fifty of the Power Guards are accounted for now, and Sadic is… in custody. In addition, we freed roughly two thousand POWs who were being held in Shadow Town. Just an opportunity we took.”
“What does Shadow Town have to do with your mission?” Kaedan asked.
“It was where Sadic was hiding,” Vajra replied. “Along with over a hundred Power Guards, mostly Mark Fives.”
“Tell us what happened,” Master Gnost prompted, and Vajra gave a quick account of the raid on Shadow Town.
“And while the Power Guards and prisoners were running riot in the prison, T7 was able to confirm that no designs were beamed offworld, although fifty Mark Threes were. Angral has them now. I fear what might happen, but there’s a good chance the Empire won’t be mass-producing Power Guards. Not unless Angral is ordered to turn a few units over for study by the Emperor himself.”
“It’s commendable that you were able to test out their prowess during this engagement,” Master Kaedan said, sounding like the commendation was forced. “Most would have tried to end things quickly.”
“Why did you want to test their mettle anyway?” Major Var Suthra demanded.
“On the off-chance that the Empire starts producing them, I imagine.”
“In part,” Vajra confirmed. “In addition… I imagine the process they’ve endured is irreversible. For better or worse, the Guards cannot go back to what they used to be. I have a feeling most will remain with the military, with nowhere else to go. I figured it would be best to know their strengths and weaknesses.”
The Masters stared at each other, and Var Suthra sighed. “What a mess I’ve gone and made this time!”
“I’ve shut down the project,” Vajra informed him. “If I hear that it’s up and running again, I will drop anything I’m doing to shut it down.”
“Understandable.”
“There’s the matter of what to do with the subjects you’ve rescued,” Master Satele said softly. “But I think we already know your stance on the matter.”
“Rehabilitation. I don’t know if it’s possible, but—”
“I’ll personally see to it that it’s done,” Var Suthra assured him. “I owe these people that much. What about Agent Galen? Did you find him?”
“I did. He’s a Power Guard now. He and the others are being kept in a secure medical facility right now, but… they’ll need better care. And secrecy.”
“I’ll have the Greston and Mellow come by. They’re medical frigates, the best we have. They should be able to take care of them, and help begin their rehab.”
“Thank you, Major.”
“I’ll take my leave then.” The Major’s holo vanished.
“Do you have anything else you need to report?” Master Satele asked.
“I don’t know if I mentioned this, but Sadic chose to undergo the procedure too. He’s a self-proclaimed Mark Six.”
“Oh? That’s quite the development. What was his combat potential?” Master Kaedan spoke up.
“He was able to pick up a few heavy objects with ease, redundant though that sounds to us.” Vajra picked up the closest crate with the Force to show what he meant, and Master Satele chuckled. “Aside from that… well, he wasn’t very impressive. I don’t think the Force flows very well through a cyborg body. He tried to hit me with Force Lightning, but he just ended up frying his own circuits. I was able to use the same console he used to control the Guard, to control him. He led the vanguard of the force that rocked Shadow Town.”
“So that’s what happened,” Master Satele looked conflicted on the idea. “When I heard that the infamous Shadow Town was destroyed by a rogue Sith Lord, I wondered what that meant, but—”
“It’s not the Jedi way,” Master Gnost finished. “We will expect better judgement from you in the future.”
“I’m sorry, Masters.”
“Why does he have to apologize?” Kira burst out, having kept her silence until now. “Why is he the one who’s let you down? My Master asked for help—begged for it—but you didn’t send so much a spare Lightsaber cleaning kit! We were both in way over our heads there, and saw stuff that we were really not ready for! My Master fought the Power Guards all alone, to spare me the trauma of killing one, and now you criticize how he handled it? The gall!”
“Kira…” Vajra said uncomfortably.
“Master, please! You deserve better than this! How can they push you this hard, then complain that you’re stumbling?” She glared at Master Satele. “Tell me then, how you’d have handled it! How would you have screened our making off with a hundred and fifty Guards, and two thousand POWs? I’d just love to hear actual wisdom from the Council for once, instead of bellyaching!”
Master Kaedan glared at her, though Master Satele averted her eyes. Master Gnost sat back in deep thought.
“That’s what I thought!” Kira smiled bitterly.
“It’s been a long couple of weeks, Masters,” Vajra said by way of apology. She gave him a glare. “But she’s not wrong. I did my best here. We all did. I’m a tyro Knight, and I’m doing things like defending the capital all by myself, things I haven’t been remotely trained for. I’m learning on the job here. If you want to better, then give us more to work with.” He bit in everything else he had to say, but looked at the Masters in turn with his head held high.
“That borders on insolence, boy,” Master Kaedan snorted. “Where’s that pliant young child who came to Tython?”
“Not ‘boy.’ ‘Knight.’ And I have no idea where he is now. Maybe something scared him off? If I see him, I’ll let him know he’s missed.”
Kira snorted.
“We’re sorry, Vajra,” Satele apologized. “You’re both right. You’ve been under tremendous pressure, and presented with nigh-impossible targets. You did well by any measure. And thank you for being open about it. You could just as easily have lied.”
“The prisoners you freed… you did a good thing on that front too,” Master Kaedan added. “All those people waved in front of our noses, and we couldn’t do a damn thing!”
“We’re still waiting on word from Master Kiwiiks, but the Mass Shadow Generator on Dantooine has been scrapped without incident. Master Orgus is moving on to Alderaan.”
“Do you want us to back up either Master Kiwiiks or Orgus?”
“You will have to, but we don’t know which one, yet. But given how important this is, we can’t reassign you to something else just yet either. You can take a few days to rest while we deliberate on where to send you next. May the Force be with you.”
When the transmission went blank, Kira slapped Vajra’s shoulder. “Good!” she grinned. “Glad to see you’re defending your position as a Knight now.”
“Talking back to the Council is a dangerous move,” Vajra began, but Kira was having none of it.
“What you did to that fucking cunt was apropos justice at its best. It was a better solution than killing him—which is also frowned upon by the Jedi, or leaving him behind—which would allow Angral to use him again. Maybe even complete working on their own Power Guards.”
“All that bugged me as well,” Vajra nodded.
“So, this was a good alternative, no?”
“It’s a slippery slope when we start bending the rules.”
“Yes. Which is why I’m glad when it’s someone like you who bends them. You have a good soul. You’d know when to stop.”
“May it always be so,” Vajra added softly.

Hi!! I wanted to ask, in celebration of Deltarune CH. 2, do you have any updated thoughts and head canons about the game?? Like, y'know, similar to a previous ask about Kris in your Deltarune tag? Thanks!
thoughts on kris part 2 i guess???? (part 1 from ch1 here lol)
spoilers for deltarune like woah. this wont be kris focused just random thoughts on everything. thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk
not that many thoughts for this chapter tbh! EDIT LOL: this was a lie i have a lot of thoughts
-just in general i feel like the player isn't the only one controlling kris... like yes the player forced kris to do what happened in the snowgrave route but AT THE SAME TIME idk it feels like there's someone else too. just because of the terrifying voice i suppose. and also the jerky movement kris does every time they get their soul out? unless there's another reason for it... maybe getting your soul out means you walk weird lol
-BUT ALSO i feel like kris is 100% in control when they create fountains. idk it just makes sense kris would create them. to create another world, a better world, A WORLD WHERE THEIR BROTHER IS HERE PERHAPS? i do wonder why they get their soul out then though. i'm all for it sweetie! do whatever! i support you!
-(i am and will be playing deltarune with only kris' best interests in mind. i will not hurt anyone unless kris wants me to. dont worry my little meow meow im on your side! talk to me! no? okay ill stay under the sink its fine)
-speaking of asriel. SUMMER VACATION COLLEGE WHEN? SUMMER VACATION COLLEGE WHEN? SUMMER (starts crying) V-VACATION COLLEGE WHEN
-kris misses their brother so much it's so sad. if you make kris steal 5$ from asriel they take it "reluctantly"? talking to asriel online so often even alphys knows?? the google search?? GOING INTO ASRIEL'S GOOGLE SEARCH ROOM WITH THEIR EYES CLOSED BECAUSE THEY'RE CONVINCED THEY ALREADY KNOW WHATS IN THERE? THAT ONE IS LESS OF A MISSING THING BUT IM LIKE OH MY GOD
-the city walk with susie at the end makes it clear to me that kris really values susie's friendship... kris even sits with her if you spend long enough near the lake like aaaaah ;_;
-and even in snowgrave you spend your last acts with the final boss calling for your friends like YES there's a way bigger creepy aspect to this (kris as more of a Leader who Commands and commands their subjects to come) but still :'0 (and then noelle answers oh my god noelle im so sorry for the trauma)
-berdly. listen. listen. listen. liste
-berdly sucks but [berdly hurts his arm in the battle against queen if you don't save him because he doesnt want to hurt you] [berdly realizing smg's wrong in snowgrave and immediately taking steps to save noelle] berdly is my little crumb nugget. i will protect him.
-noelle. noelle. girlboss!
-like ooooh listen. hearing about the genocide path for undertale. made me go "that is SO COOL. i HAVE to experience it myself this is great. hehehe killing time" and like no regrets. i was fully enjoying the experience knowing i was an awful person. SNOWGRAVE THOUGH. i will never try this myself its too fucked up. casually grooming your childhood friend to murder people <3 and also acting like a weird stalker towards her <3 stockholm syndrome speedrun i will get all the info i can about this but i will never do this myself
-people remarking the kris/player>noelle relationship is similar to the relationship between player>chara in genocide path is like yes. chefs kiss. don't worry we just are making you stronger and everything will be fine "you made me kill my friend? and for what?" this is fine sweetie don't worry about it!!!!!!
-like the amount of details added to snowgrave, like if you equip noelle's watch she notices later? and her battle animations change as time goes on, she gets an ice shield and stops sighing in relief after battle? oh my god? oh my god.
-(berdly is not awake.) JUST KILL ME RIGHT HERE I HAVEN'T STOPPED THINKING ABOUT BERDLY NOT BEING AWAKE!!!!!
-also why didnt he turn into dust. so many possible reasons. is magic a thing in the normal world and perhaps no magic means no dust (theres graves). maybe he isnt dead. maybe hes braindead. maybe he'll come back. either way that boy is now in the closet big enough to put someone in
-also dess' name probably being december AND THATS WHY NOELLE LOST THE SPELLING BEE?!?!??! FUCK ME UP!!!!! JUST FUCK ME UP!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!
-also so many good pixel art this chapter. too many? i didnt need pixel art of cardboard noelle falling on the statue. like thank you but please. please it hurts my game artist brain.
-the expressions in this chapter were also top notch. all the unsettling noelle expressions like (i fall over face first)
-i threw away the ball of junk (which i already tried in ch1) and this time the game was like "ARE YOU SURE BC THIS IS A BAD IDEA" and kris felt bitter :'( (it deletes all your items in the dark world)
-i uh fucked up and skipped the susie+noelle scene bc listen last time ralsei mentionned seeing what susie is doing we missed some PRIMO LORE. turns out it just makes you skip the scene and you dont get anything new. welp
-speaking of ralsei well you know. he exists. but im stuck on him going "i just wonder what being ralsei-like even is...?" ralsei my dude there's so much i could say about this. do you feel like you can't be ralsei-like because you feel like you have to be asriel-like
-but also that makes no sense bc susie hasnt even mentioned ralsei looks like asriel. and i cant imagine asriel being so meek. so WHAT GIVES
-ralsei as kris’ “i wish i was a monster just like my bro and family and i’d look like asriel but with red horns [THE HALLOWEEN COSTUME] and my name would be something cool like ralsei instead of a boring human name like kris and im sweet and cute because thats how i act with asriel because ASRIEL MADE ME” theory because that would be cute.
-ASRIEL GOING TO THE CHURCH TO CONFESS HIS "SINS" WHEN "SINS" AREN'T A THING IN THE ANGEL BELIEF LIKE I KNOW THIS INTERACTION WAS TREATED AS A JOKE BUT WHAT THE FUCK ASRIEL?
-kris definitely has a connection with the big red door in the city, judging by what the kids say they probably went there... i feel like this place's dark world will be the Final Dungeon you KNOW some shit happened there. also the sounds you hear when you go there is the phone dark world call's sound slowed down? AND AFTER SNOWGRAVE APPARENTLY YOU CANT HEAR IT ANYMORE? HUWAH?
-speaking of songs the songs were all so good, My Castle Town rules, the berdly snowgrave music is stuck in my head, flashback is uwah wuahah, Until Next Time is so good, AND ALSO A FRIEND NOTICED THE DARK WORLD CITY THEME IS JUST tHE SONG 74 (MOST NOTICEABLE WITH THE SNOWGRAVE VERSION)?????? WHAT DOES IT MEAN????? it might be just "hey its just reuse" BUT MR FOX YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA READ INTO THIS IS NOELLE THE ONE SINGING IDK BRO!!!!!!!!!!
-asgore dreemurr fired from the force what happun!!!!! game theory is that asgore is related to dess' death/disappearance but eh who knows
-you start the chapter at lvl2 and get to lvl3 after the final boss, a friend mentioned this is probably because we destroyed a world and im :0
-to go back to kris it's still so interesting to figure out who they are based on how they act/people mention them. like kris shaking the ferris wheel car? yeah makes sense i can imagine a pranking kid do this. kris' dance? yeah thats a little silly but i can buy it. doing cool anime poses? well i dunno this doesnt line up PERFECTLY but sure. BUT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN SNOWGRAVE... especially >proceed like that is such a weird thing that i can't imagine them doing, but i can't completely see the "player" doing either (compare with going to sans -which kris doesnt know- and going "SANS!" because of course the player would know sans), like THATS one of the reasons i feel like there's someone else in there. the weird robotic merciless actions. if im going super meta it feels like there'd be someone else like writing the choices into existence for us to pick you know? gaster probably? god i need to read more gaster theories i completely sidestepped the gaster shit bc i wasnt interested. anyway just spitballing
-(looks at big shot guy) please dont make him the next tumblr guy i beg you
-obligatory "queen was great" mention if only because this part made me laugh a little bit too hard
Tumblr media
that was a lot. thank you for letting me talk

Satsuriku no Tenshi: 6th Anniversary Q&A, Part II – [Translated]
Tumblr media
Part One
Interviewer: All right, next question. This person didn’t enter his/her name so I will just read the question: “Makoto Sanada-sensei, what did you enjoy the most while making Satsuriku no Tenshi?
Sanada: I think this applies to every episode, but with game development... When you’re near the final stages of development, for example in the final stage of development of episode 1, and you start to see the general structure of the story, you can start to tweak things.
Sanada: “Let’s do this” or “Let’s do that” or “Maybe we should change this expression,” you can start to see things like that very clearly. And everything is fun to do in those stages of the development process. It's just so fun to work towards the final build.
Sanada: In episode 1 we entered that fun period when we were trying to figure out what to do in the bathtub scene. It was also when we were trying to decide what to do with the rest of the game. It was so fun. We were like children playing in water. We had a lot of those kinds of moments.
TL Note: I have no idea what scene she’s referring to here because I don’t recall any bathtubs featured until Rachel’s floor in episode 4 of the game. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Interviewer: While we were chatting away, Nazuka-sensei kept drawing. 
Nazuka: It would have been bad if I messed up, so I was drawing very carefully.
Interviewer: Thank you for the beautiful illustrations.
Sanada: Thank you very much.
Interviewer:  With that being said, those were half the questions. The last questions will be asked after the live script-reading. I heard you wrote the scripts and even edited the video for this script-reading.
Sanada: Oh, yes. I got to write the script and edit the video this time around. But with a script like this one, which will be read out loud, you have to use different expressions and methods that don’t come up in games or anime to tell the story. So I had to change some missions and I also added some scenes. And I hope you guys enjoy it.
Sanada: Oh, right, as for the video editing... I also did the video editing this time around. It was quite difficult, but the acting of the voice actors was so great.
TL Note: After the script-reading...
Interviewer: As we enter this second part of the Q&A I still can’t shake off this feeling of excitement.
Sanada: Did everyone enjoy it? The voice acting is amazing so I wanted to bring my... Oops I just stuttered. I wanted to bring my A game. But It would make me really happy if everyone enjoyed it.
Interviewer: Nazuka-sensei, how was it?
Nazuka: I’ve never seen a “play” like this. The acting, voices and gestures of the actors... They were giving it their all. We also had Sanada-sensei’s illustrations, appearance and music. It felt like everything had come together in a completed work. It brought back memories of when we were making the manga.
Sanada: I was also able to jump back in with a new and refreshing perspective, so I really made sure to spend as much time as I could on the script and the editing process. It was very refreshing for me. I’m so glad you guys enjoyed it.
Nazuka: You were able to handle all the script writing, the video editing and music editing by yourself. Sanada-sensei, you really can do anything!
Sanada: No way, not at all. I was very desperate while making it.
Nazuka: I think you’re amazing. 
Sanada: I was really desperate. I was just thinking “Aaaaaah!” the whole time. “Aaaaah!” I’m really glad you liked it.
Interviewer:  Now, let’s resume the Q&A with our last 10 questions before ending with the autograph session. Now, from the username Sui: “This question is for both of you. What floor are you most attached to?”
Sanada: What floor am I most attached to? Let’s see, episode 1 and 4 are the first and last so I had a lot of energy when I was making them. But I had the most fun while making episode 2’s B3 floor. The story is bolder and it also has some silly elements. We get to delve into Zack's past and we also get to see some signs of growth from Rachel. It’s the most memorable section of the story. I also tried to include some of these elements in the live script-reading we just did.
Interviewer: This floor also embodied a whirlwind of Cathy’s resolutions as a character. This question was for the both of you.
Interviewer: Nazuka-sensei, what was the most memorable floor for you?
Nazuka: I mean, I have good memories of all of them, but the one that stuck to me the most after we finalized the manga adaptation of the original story would be Floor B1.
Nazuka: I have good memories of every floor. Even with Cathy’s floor... I just remember how happy I was while drawing B1. Every floor was truly wonderful, so every single one is memorable to me.
Sanada: The floors in the manga were also amazingly fascinating. Every time I got to see the script and the drawings I would go like: “Wow this is amazing! Amazing!”
Nazuka: It was possible because of how amazing the original game was. And because of its inherent power. Adapting the manga was a challenge. I was frantically fussing over each little panel. haha. I really was.
Sanada: Thank you very much.
Nazuka: No, thank you. Interviewer: Let’s move onto the next question, it’s from the username Hinatan: “What scenes did you find most difficult to make while working on the game or drawing the manga?” This question is also for the both of you.
Sanada: I guess I have mentioned this in other places but I think I'll stick with it. Episode 3 was really hard to make. It gets really dark at that point in the game and the difficulty also shoots up. It also gets progressively hard to understand the overall story. Also, I ran into some problems in the middle of it and had to rewrite most of the dialogue.
Sanada: We also get to experience some hallucinations so I had to change gears and create a different aesthetic. Like with the witch trial, I had a really hard time making that. But what finally got me through that “slump” was rewriting the dialogue.
Sanada: Previously, Zack and Rachel would not have had any dialogue at the start of the episode. I had actually planned on having a really silent Zack at the beginning of the episode, and we would go from there, but that was too gloomy. It got much better once I decided to add dialogue there and I decided to change most of the lines.
Sanada: Actually, Gray’s dialogue was the one I had to change the most.  This might sound a bit weird, but it took a while before Gray’s character opened up to me. I mean, I kind of knew Gray’s way of thought and what he wanted to achieve. I mean... how should I say this...?
Sanada: I knew it in my brain, but understanding was hard. What was he thinking? What was he feeling? Those were the hardest things to explore. Conversely, I was recently thinking of Episode.0 and I realized that Gray’s thoughts and feelings were not as complicated as I had pinned them out to be. I finally felt that I had understood him. Even to this day I’m still making new discoveries about this character, but I had a really tough time with him back then.
Interviewer: I guess that even as the creator, you can never really know how deep the rabbit hole can go. 
Sanada: He’s extremely, well... I guess he’s not that old. But he’s older, a senior, if you would say. What do you call them? It’s not a “dandy” man, what do you call old people? Wasn’t there a good word for this in English?
Interviewer: A “nice middle.”
Sanada: That’s it! He’s kind of like a nice middle.
TL Note: I’ve never heard of this slang before, but it’s a Japanese slang word that refers to attractive or nice middle-aged men. 
Interviewer:  What about you Nazuka-sensei? What was the most difficult part of drawing the manga?
Nazuka: I also drew lots of fan books but... I also struggled the most with Gray’s floor. This applies to the whole game, but when you’re playing the game you get to move Zack or Rachel around. That movement is something you can only get from the game, and I struggled on how to convert that point of view into the manga pages. Gray’s floor is full of hallucinations and fantastic elements. It had many such elements and converting that scenery into a monochrome manga was the most difficult thing for me. 
Sanada: A lot of games just assault your eyes with shiny things and stuff like that.
Nazuka: That’s right. 
Sanada: But thank you so much for drawing the manga.
Nazuka: No, thank you. But I did struggle and I had to ask a lot of advice from my supervisor with Gray’s floor. Sanada: If I remember correctly, you drew that scene in the with trials with the water where Rachel received her punishment. It was drawn amazingly. In the game, the water is actually really shallow but you drew it deeper.
Tumblr media
Nazuka: Right, in the manga I tried to show how dangerous that scene was. And how much of a pinch the characters were in. I was thinking of how to relay that tension on the page. I did my best to reflect those emotions.
Interviewer: Thank you both for your answers. Now let’s move onto the next question from the username Upiko: “Hello Makoto-sensei and Kudan-sensei. This is my question: What kind of job would you have wanted to do if you didn’t choose your current professions? I love everything, the game and the manga alike, thank you for hosting this wonderful event.”
Sanada: Let’s see... What job would I have wanted to do? I was still working in my previous company while I developed Kirigame ga Furu Mori. But before that, I had another job that I really liked. I liked the people and the work itself. I actually wanted to keep working there, but one day the company actually went under. And Game Magazine had contacted me around that time. Of course, at first I didn’t intend to quit my job, but the company went under and I remember that after several meetings at that company, they told us they were going under and I was like: “What?!”
Sanada: Of course, I went to “Hello Work” and they showed me some advertising jobs.
TL Note: Hello Work is the Japanese Public Employment Security Office.
Sanada: I was thinking of doing some photography-related work so I looked around for a while. But I wouldn’t have had the time once the serialization of Satsuriku no Tenshi began. Now that I think about it, it just worked out this way. But I do have a lot of interest in different jobs.
Interviewer: Just like in Satsuriku no Tenshi, before you could even realize it, you were already in the basement of the building.
Sanada: Haha, you’re right, now that you say that, I think you’re right. I was like: “What?!” But I do feel like I was suddenly thrust into it.
Interviewer: Kudan-sensei, what about you?
Nazuka: Let’s see...  I’ve always liked drawing, ever since I was little. And I actually began writing manga later in my development... Development? I mean, when I wasn’t a child anymore, so I’ve always wanted to do something related to drawing. I haven’t really thought of doing anything other than that.
Sanada: That’s amazing.
Nazuka: I got a chance to do just that, so I’m really happy that I’m able to do this. I have never wanted to do anything else.
Interviewer: You wanted to do something related to drawing even if it wasn’t manga.
Nazuka: That’s right.
Sanada: I think you found your calling.
Nazuka: I think you also found your calling.
Interviewer: All right, our next question is from the username Haru: “Good evening Sanada-sensei, Nazuka-sensei. (Although a bit early) Congratulations on the 6th anniversary of Satsuriku no Tenshi. This is my question: Recently I have much more free time at home, so I wanted to ask what the both of you have been getting hooked on recently. Please let us know if you have any recommendations. I am looking forward to the new official webpage (Sanada’s new blog) and Episode.0. I’m rooting for all of you. Good luck to ZackRay!
Sanada: Let’s see, free time at home... I guess everyone’s time at home has recently increased. Personally, I watched a lot of movies, dramas and anime that my friends had recommended. I was actually watching a lot of older stuff, like Akira Kurosawa movies. I hadn’t seen a lot of the most famous ones. On the other hand, I was also watching some popular dramas. Korean dramas were also hot last year, like Crash Landing on You, so I also watch those. Sanada: I also watched some overseas series on Amazon Prime that my friends had recommended. Other than that, I watched some documentaries, like the Ghibli documentary. I also like penguins.
Interviewer: Penguins?
Sanada: Yes. I also watched some penguin documentaries. And regarding the penguin documentaries, there is one called Penguin Town and there is this town overseas full of penguins.
Interviewer: A whole town?
Sanada: Yes, it’s really like a town of penguins, the penguins are living inside the town.
Interviewer: Does it really exist?
Sanada: Yes, it’s an actual place and there are a ton of penguins. The documentary shows you how the penguins live within the town, but it’s jam-packed with drama. You really go like: “Is this for real?! What’s gonna happen?!” You just can’t wait for the next episode. It’s really addictive. They even have divorces.
Interviewer: Between the penguins?
Sanada: Yes, between the penguins. Or they show you how the penguin that goes to get food doesn't come back. Or what happens if the egg gets swept away by the sea. And you really go: “What?!” You really get hooked on it. I binged it in one sitting; it was so entertaining. I may have just spoiled some stuff, haha. Please forget what I just said. That’s what I’ve been watching recently.
Interviewer: It’s an interesting and addictive penguin documentary.
Sanada: Yes, it’s really interesting. It’s also really emotional because they are filming the penguins in their child rearing season so you end up rooting for them. I really recommend this one.
Interviewer: By the way Sanada-sensei, what about games?
Sanada: Games? I like to think that I play plenty of them. But what I basically always end up playing is... What was it called again? Like The Sims. Games where you get to build your own town. Those are the kinds of games I play whenever I get some free time.
Sanada: I also play some online multiplayer games with my friends. Like Apex Legends.Or Dead by... Dead by... I can never say this correctly.
Interviewer: Daylight?
Sanada: Yes. Dead by Deadlight... (she doesn’t correct herself). I’ve been playing a lot with my friends recently. I also play some free games if I get interested in them.
Interviewer: For example? What kind?
Sanada: Well, I play a lot of different ones. I really like one game where you play as a wheat farmer. Playing with friends is really fun.
Interviewer: Nazuka-sensei, how about you?
Nazuka: What do I do in my free time at home? I’ve always been a shut-in, so I’ve become a master at this whole free time at home ordeal. I also love games and I’ve been playing a lot of Switch lately. Like Monster Hunter and I recently bought Mario Kart. But I’m really addicted to Among Us right now.
Sanada: Yes, it’s very popular.
Nazuka: I also love watching live streams. So I watch some Among Us livestreams and do my research on the game. I really like games where you get to play and talk to other people simultaneously. I’m really hooked. Sanada: Let’s play Among Us together. Nazuka: Yes, yes! Let’s!
Interviewer: All right, next question. This one is from the username Lion Jiro: “I really love “Pray,” the ending theme song performed by Rachel’s voice actress Haruka Chisuga. The melody, lyrics and vocals perfectly encompass Rachel’s character. What did the both of you think when you first heard “Pray”? Please let me know your thoughts.”
Interviewer: Sanada-sensei, what do you think?
Sanada: Yes, DECO*27 was the composer of the song. I had actually listened to DECO*27’s songs before and we had a meeting where we were discussing the kind of composer we wanted. It wasn’t so much as deciding on someone, rather, we were just talking about who we thought was good and at the time I suggested DECO*27. In the end we ended up going with DECO*27.
Sanada: I remember thinking how silent and beautiful the melody was. But it also has a melancholic tone. I was surprised at how much it sounded like Rachel’s character. But what really shocked me was afterwards, when she put up the lyrics. It really felt like Rachel herself had materialized into song. I was impressed already, and on top of that, there were many unforgettable phrases in the lyrics. Especially the line that goes: “Can I pray for a dream that keeps falling up?” That was really memorable. It was obscure but delicate and I think that at the same time it had some power to it. I’m really grateful for that.
Interviewer: Isn’t it amazing how it described Rachel with one phrase?
Sanada: No other phrase can describe her better.
Interviewer: Nazuka-sensei, what did you think of “Pray”?
Nazuka: I’ve also always loved DECO*27, so when I heard she was doing the ending I went like: “What?!” And Chisuga-san’s clear voice was really perfect for it. You get defeated by that voice. She’s got a crisp whispering voice. Just by hearing that you go: “It’s Rachel!”
Sanada: Yes! You get chills.
Nazuka: It tightens your chest. It’s a wonderful song.
Interviewer: Let’s move on to the next question. This one is from the username Warabi: “Once again, congratulations on the sixth anniversary. Like myself, I think there are many people that look up to Sanada-sensei and want to make games. I would be very happy if Sanada-sensei could send us a message or give us some advice.”
Sanada: I don’t know if you will find what I say useful, but I’m really glad that you sent in your message. I think that having the opportunity to create something in this world is really wonderful. After all, we’ll be getting more and more games.
Sanada: But let’s see... What advice should I give out... Well, for me creating something and expressing that to the world is really fun. So I would advise you to―I mean, there’s also times when it’s really hard, but I would tell you to have fun where you can. Just have as much fun as you can with it, and there’s also another thing that many people struggle with: it is the fact that there are many unfinished games. By the way, I also have many unfinished games―many games that I gave up halfway through.
Interviewer: Is that so? Sanada: And sometimes your hands will stop because you’re struggling with the game or because you got busy with something else. But... How should I say this... You shouldn’t force yourself to finish it and don’t beat yourself too much because of it. I actually abandoned Kirigame ga Furu Mori for about a year so... Inspiration might come to you suddenly, and then you’ll have that feeling of wanting to finish the game. So please keep in mind that feeling of wanting to complete the game. And as a player, I’m looking forward to all the different games that will be coming out in the future. Good luck.
Interviewer: All right, here’s our next question. We only have 4 questions left. This one’s from the username Latte: “Thank you for all your wonderful games. I was in high school when I first learned about the Satsuriku no Tenshi game, but I still love the game now that I’m an adult. This is a question for Sanada-sensei. Where do you start when you’re coming up with a character? There are many places to start, like the personality of the appearance, but I wanted to know what choices you make at the start so I asked this question.”
Latte: “I also have a question for Nazuka-sensei. I personally love the transparent look of your illustrations. And I always look at your art for reference whenever I”m drawing, but I can’t seem to get the lighting right. I would love to know if you use any kind of resources when you draw light and I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what those are. I’m so grateful to get the chance to ask these questions. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will keep cheering you on.”
Sanada/Nazuka: Thank you very much.
Sanada: Right, so what do I do first when I come up with a character... I mostly come up with the characters as my story progresses. I think of what kind of role this character will have within my story and what their purpose is. And well, the character will not progress within the story if they don’t have a purpose, so I always try to determine the purpose of the character first and then build a backbone on top of that.
Sanada: For example, I come up with the story of how they appears in the story and their life... Well, I say that, but I don’t have everything mapped out in the character's life. But I do have a general idea. From then on I move onto the personality and appearance. At the beginning I only think a little bit about these things. I think one of the last things I decide is the character’s age and appearance. Of course, sometimes I come up with the appearance early on, but I generally do that at the end.
Sanada: For example, with Eddie I was really struggling until the last minute on whether to make him a young adult or a teenager. I clearly remember hesitating over that decision, but I knew I wanted him to be close in age to Rachel so he could be closer to Rachel. I guess I wanted them to be the same age or at least close in age so it would be more likely that they became friends.That's the kind of character I wanted him to be.
Sanada: Right, also... With Zack I didn't really have a clear picture of his burnt appearance. His appearance changed after I had already built the backbone of his story. That’s how it was.
Interviewer: So he wouldn’t have had this appearance if his childhood wasn’t like that, right?
Sanada: Yes. If he was born into a different environment, his family would have also been different. So he wouldn’t have become the Zack we all know. Nazuka: Regarding my illustrations' sense of transparency and how to draw light... And what I use as a reference, right?
Interviewer: That’s right.
Nazuka: I just use my everyday life as a reference. Whatever crosses my eyes, like the scenery. If I find a moment that I like I usually take a picture. There are certain types of light that pull at one’s heartstring. I make sure to take a picture of those moments so I don’t forget them.
Nazuka: I also look at various pictures on the internet and save them in my mind’s drawer. Then I can open up that drawer to see and remember. And I can use it as a reference whenever I’m drawing. Please search for some of those moments in your daily life.
Interviewer: All right, this is for our 18th question from the username Reizoko@shukusatsuten6shunen: “There was some additional information in the fanbook about each character, but how did you come up with the childhood version designs?”
Sanada: Well, for example, Cathy has a ribbon tied at the back of her head. And Danny has his eyepatch and I made his expressions more timid. As for Zack, I had him wear shorts. I relayed those rough concepts to Nezuka-san and Negiyan-san, but aside from that, the more detailed design work is mostly up to the artists, so that would be up to Nezuka-san and Negiyan-san.
Sanada: I really just gave them a rough idea of how I wanted them to look and they managed to get it almost perfectly right, so I was quite surprised by that. Didn’t we come up with the childhood design of most characters like that?
Nazuka: Yes, that’s right. The three of us, including Negiyan-sensei, had a very similar view of what the characters would look like.
Sanada: We had the same concepts in mind. So we would just discuss things with each other.
Nazuka: Right, I would bounce my ideas around with both of them and they would then modify things. We had a really great time. We elevated each other’s work.
Sanada: In Episode.0, some characters appear very often and sometimes I would write out what I wanted in the design. But more often than not it was just a rough image that came up during the plot, so we mostly just had conversations of what we wanted it to look like. And of course we also had to get the editor’s approval.
Interviewer: Now, we only have 2 more questions left. This is the 19th question. It’s from the username Gosen: “This question is for the great Sanada-sensei. You have made many games, from Satsuriku no Tenshi to Kirisame ga Furu Mori to your newest game which is about to be released. And you have already released a new character for your newest game. But does the great Makoto Sanada-sensei have any plans to start development of any new games aside from the previously mentioned games? I’m really curious about what is going on in the great Makoto Sanada-sensei’s mind.
Sanada: Thank you very much. That made me blush. 
Sanada: I actually said this before, but I have already announced 2 new games and we’re currently in the making of the third one. But apart from that, I’ve been thinking of making a Japanese style horror game where you encounter yokai.
TL Note: Yokai = Mythical monsters from Japanese folklore.
Sanada: I think I mentioned it somewhere before, so I’ll be working on that too. The character and overall story are pretty much done so I want to pursue this more proactively. And some small characters will appear in this horror game.
Interviewer: Some small characters?
Sanada: Yes, small characters. It’s a horror game, but I want to make the characters cute. So I’m working really hard to make it happen.
Interviewer: The question mentioned your third game, and there was a mention of a new character which is a magician.
Sanada: Yes, that’s right. We are done with most of the plot and we thought of releasing it in the game itself, but the more we worked on the plot the bigger it got.The story became too ambitious. So we’re thinking of releasing the original work as a novel first. 
Interviewer: Please look forward to the novel with all its ambitious developments.
Sanada: Please look forward to that too. I’m also giving it my best to get it done. 
Interviewer: All right, we have finally arrived at the last question. This one is from the username Fumi: “Congratulations on the 6th anniversary of Satsuriku no Tenshi! If you could leave a message to yourself before you started working on this game, what would it be? This question is for the both of you.”
Sanada: A message? To myself? Before I started working on the game? Well, I would say something like: “You will encounter more trouble than you had initially thought with Rachel and Zack, so keep going and don’t lose your strength. Hang in there!” Something like: “Always be positive and hang in there!”
Interviewer: Nazuka-sensei, what about you?
Nazuka: It’s been six years, so I probably didn’t think I would still be involved with this project when we first started. I actually thought we would have finished the manga adaptation by now but it really has been a long time. And we’re also currently adapting Episode.0 after finishing the main story. I think this is the longest I have ever worked on a single project, so I would say something like this to my past self: “We’re still going after 6 years of drawing Satsuriku no Tenshi and we’re still very energetic!” That’s what I would like to say.
Sanada: Being energetic is important.
Interviewer: Now that I think about it, 6 years is the time it takes for a kid to go from 1st grade to middle school. That’s how old the game is. Sanada: I’m sure many of you experienced this game in all kinds of stages in life. I’m sure there are many people that have grown up and some people’s environments have completely changed. But I’m happy that everyone is still enjoying all the content. Interviewer: Yes, Satsuriku no Tenshi has now graduated form primary school and will be advancing into middle school next year. I hope it lives a long and happy life.

How about 999 yjh and uriel?
This went a bit past just 999, but I had fun with this prompt! Here's some cannon based Jonghyuk angst with happy ending lol.
The nine hundred ninety ninth regression was one that Yoo Jonghyuk planned based on his previous regressions, as he always did.
Although, it wasn't as if the previous two regressions, the nine hundred ninety seventh and eighth, were really the worst the starstream had seen of Yoo Jonghyuk. That title would probably be saved for the forty-first from which Yoo Jonghyuk was conscious of the fact he had to deliberately block memories from to stay sane.
No, the problem with the last two regressions wasn't the presence of any memories that were wretched to the point of novelty. The problem was the fact that Yoo Jonghyuk barely retained any memories of them at all.
It was all a haze… it was honestly hard to tell if those regressions had been even markedly different from the ones previous to them, as all of the repeated events seemed to mush together and meld with the centuries of anguish he had already endured.
He hadn't felt anything new. Done anything new. So much so that he would forget his place in the new regression and wander aimlessly thinking of the old until some high level constellation punk got a lucky shot at him.
And then all of a sudden, Yoo Jonghyuk woke up in that familiar train car. The one that no matter what would only last for the first thirty minutes of the scenario.
Almost out of habit, he looked for that boy he had been keeping an eye on. The one who always died.
He stopped when he realized.
999.
That boy had died one thousand times.
Yoo Jonghyuk had lived one thousand times. Been in this train car one thousand times. Failed to save anyone one thousand times. Died one thousand times.
Was he really that useless? Yoo Jonghyuk thought to himself, as he went through the motions of beating Choi Han-gyu to death before he could blow up the car.
Honestly, at this point maybe he should accept that he was just like the boy in this car.
No matter what he did, he was going to die anyway.
If he thought about it like that, then…
Well, what was the best thing that he could accomplish with his own death, knowing that it would come to him no matter what he did?
So in the nine hundred ninety ninth turn, Yoo Jonghyuk took more risks than ever before. He made choices and plans that he never would have before because experience had shown they were the antithesis to his former dogma. That which put his own means of survival above all else.
And little by little, Yoo Jonghyuk began to notice that things could be new again.
In this regression, his companions cared more about him. They respected him more, and opened up about things they never had. As if something in his actions connected to them. Made them think he acted out of love for them since his actions clearly showed no care for himself.
And maybe Yoo Jonghyuk wanted to believe them, too. That he was still capable of that sort of love. That desire for connection.
So he let himself fall into it. He made his decisions based on everyone's survival except for his own.
And his comrades continued to show new sides of themselves. The way Lee Jihye tried not to weep aver the bloody remains of his leg, even though no one had died that regression. How Lee Hyunsung's lips trembled while trying to stop the blessing where Yoo Jonghyuk's arm used to be. Shin Yoosung's open bawling, as it began to set in on Yoo Jonghyuk that he would never see this version of her's face ever again.
But Yoo Jonghyuk knew whose response to his actions had surprised him the most this regression.
"Jonghyuk. Are you ready?" The voice of a certain archangel was heard near his somehow still intact ears.
Uriel's face was close to his, a tight grip on his arm and waist along with the angelic wing steadied on his back the only support keeping him held upright as the others had followed his instructions in forging through the final battle ahead of them.
"There's no need to watch over me so closely, Uriel." He told her. It was, in fact, something he had been telling this strange angel recurrently ever since she had stepped down from Eden to join their group.
That was one thing he had never expected of the entity he had once known as the Demon-like Judge of Fire. In all the timelines he had been through Uriel had been just that, a silent judge. Reacting positively to his lawful actions in the early scenarios with coins, and expressing disappointment over his more morally dubious actions. Only descending after the destruction of Eden occasionally to cast judgement in person.
But something about this round had moved the archangel to act differently after the destruction of Eden this round.
"No offense, but there's obviously a d**n need for it, Jonghyuk." Uriel casually censored herself, as though the restrictions of Eden were still in place. "You can't see how the others are looking back towards you right now, but they know it too. That it's always times like this that you feel the need to go and take unnecessary risks."
Yoo Jonghyuk thought that he heard it in her voice, then.
That lilt in Uriel's voice that suggested she was talking to an old friend, even though the span of time in which he had met this version of her was infinitesimal in comparison to the life he had already lived before her, and perhaps compared to the life of a constellation as well.
Maybe Uriel, too, had lived through this all before. A war where she was called upon to support a comrade close to death.
Perhaps she also knew what it was like to be too helpless to save someone important.
Yoo Jonghyuk should be sorry that she would have to go through it again.
He could already feel it. No matter how close Uriel and her sword stayed by his side, Yoo Jonghyuk could feel his death coming to him.
It was because the outer world covenant wasn't an outside threat. It was something that was inside of him. A hole that came from the very center of him. Almost as if there were no outer world god involved, and Yoo Jonghyuk had really only done this to himself.
When everything was fading, and he could recognize her voice as one of the ones desperately calling out to him, Yoo Jonghyuk thought that he should apologize to her.
Instead, he died with a smile on his face.
.
.
.
The one thousandth regression was one that Yoo Jonghyuk planned based on his previous regressions, as he always did.
When he woke up on the train car again, he wasn't smiling as he had been when he died.
It was because he knew that he wouldn't let the events that let him get so far in the last regression repeat.
He couldn't live like that.
Suicidal idiot that he still was, he couldn't let the same thing happen to his precious memories of those friends in the nine hundred ninety ninth that had happened to every other memory he had of them from all those other regressions. Let them repeat until the point of oblivion. He couldn't do it. He just couldn't, even if it would be the right thing to do, even though it could save their lives, Yoo Jonghyuk just wasn't strong enough.
And he hated himself, for that weakness.
That was when Yoo Jonghyuk decided that he had to die, sitting there in that subway car before the scenarios started.
No matter what it took, killing every constellation in the starstream, losing distorted versions of old comrades, finding and wringing out his sponsor's neck…
Yoo Jonghyuk had to survive long enough to stand in front of that wall once more.
And join all of his once treasured memories in the deepest oblivion of death.
From then on, the only times he saw that Demon-like Judge of Fire descended from Eden was when she was sent with the express purpose to kill him in a way that didn't matter.
The only thing new he learned about her thereafter was how her corpse looked with a sword through the middle.
That was, until he met her as an outer god.
Secretive Plotter had wondered if it would please an angel like Uriel to know that he had prayed for the first time in that moment.
Prayed against all odds that her firey sword really could pierce through his curse of life and see him to his end.
But some dumb guy saved him that day.
And now, in the present, Yoo Jonghyuk was watching the kid version of that guy pick the green bits out of the omelette he had made him.
He had been trying to remember from the timelines where he had kids how he had tricked them into eating their vegetables, but like most of the times he tried to recall those deep memories of his, something in his brain had gotten caught up in that pesky number 999's time.
It was probably because his current company made those times hard to forget.
"Aaaaah I'm going to be late!" Uriel ran into the kitchen in a flash of blonde curls, going for the bread in the fridge as if she was going to run out of the house with toast in her mouth like a schoolgirl from one of her animes. "Jonghyuk do you know where Jihye is?"
"She already left." Yoo Jonghyuk reported, as he batted her hands off the bread and gave her a fork for the small omelette he had already put on the table for her. "Her first class this semester is in an early slot."
Even though he had told that girl to schedule her classes with the university early if she wanted good times…
"Shi-" Uriel seemed to remember there was no system to filter out her swears as she spared a glance toward Dokja before correcting herself. "Shoot. I mean shoot." She started speaking between bites as she scarfed down the omelette "I think that [munch] girl borrowed the shoes I was [chew] going to wear to my interview [gulp] without asking…"
"Does it really matter what shoes you wear?" Yoo Jonghyuk commented as he used his chopsticks to start placing Dokja's vegetables back into his omelette. "A former constellation is going to look strange submitting her manhwa manuscript to an editor for review no matter what."
"Give me a break." Uriel frowned. "It's not my fault that your world somehow made the mistake of making creative skills look more appealing on a resume than demon slaying skills."
Yoo Jonghyuk thought that there was truth to her observation, as he watched Uriel ruffle the hair of the pouting Dokja, before putting her clean plate in the sink for him to deal with later.
Everything about this world was new to Uriel. One could see it plainly in the very way she moved, unused to not carrying wings everywhere she went and walking ever so lightly on the earth wherever she went. Whether it was because she knew what it was to fly or because her shoulders had never felt so light before, Yoo Jonghyuk couldn't be sure.
"Good luck." He called, as Uriel walked out into the fray ahead of him, donning combat boots instead of the professional heel she seemed to have misplaced.
"Thanks Jonghyuk!" She replied, seemingly not compelled to look back to check on him as she walked out the door.
Yoo Jonghyuk had this certain feeling, then. A feeling that he often saw himself having in this new life of his, with these old friends of his.
Even though he thoroughly knew these people already, that fact made it all the more exciting to watch them grow into their roles in this world. Become the people that he never got to see them be.
"It's that look in your eye."
Yoo Jonghyuk almost startled, as he remembered he was being watched.
He turned to find young Dokja looking him with a gaze that seemed to see beyond his stoic expression.
"My father never looked at anyone like the way you looked at her just now, Hyung." He said, in that small, knowing voice of his, before a shyness seemed to come over him, and he looked down at his plate.
"That's why nine hundred ninety nine was always my favorite." He admitted, in a little voice
The emotion that Yoo Jonghyuk felt then was a rare one, but not entirely new.
A mixture of pride and bashfulness that only his own children had ever raised out of him, a glow that seemed to start from his chest and go on to cover his cheeks.
Perhaps an erstwhile familiarity with that feeling was the only thing that allowed him to save himself from smiling, as he tried very hard to tell Dokja sternly to eat his vegetables.
And when Uriel came home that evening to announce that her manuscript had gotten picked up… well, it wasn't hard to admit that Yoo Jonghyuk too was now living through a life that he never had before.

Aaaaah Michelle, the light of my life who opened my eyes and bring me in the marvelous world of selfship ☺️ Can i request some camping in the mountain + star gazing (summer sky is always so beautiful!) hcs with Corazon pls ?(feel free to add Little Law if u want😉) Thank you sweetheart 💘
Lucy my beautiful angel you can’t imagine how SOFT this request made me. Of course I had to turn this into full domestic fluff with your clumsy hubby and smol son🥺❤️ Hope you enjoy❤️!
Camping and Stargazing with Corazon and little Law headcanon
Tumblr media
the trip to the mountains was 100% Cora's idea. Since beaches and pools are basically Dofla's 'hunting grounds' (and there is no way your bf would put you in a bikini OR Law near his menace of a brother), he figured that something more secluded, something more... ‘earthy’ and especially far away from the Flamingo might be a lovely idea for a family camping trip!
even though Law isn't too thrilled about going to the mountains, you and your boyfriend are determined to make this trip an unforgettable experience. Once you've set up camp Cora immediately suggests that you all go into the forest for a little stroll and to gather some wood for the campfire
naturally you are bound to encounter some animals while doing so. And whenever you spot something interesting, Corazon makes use of his powers to help you or Law get closer to it- and with the sound of your footsteps nullified, you can really get a close-up experience without scaring any animal away! This leads to many precious moments, such as Law getting to pet a small deer, or you feeding an adorable family of squirrels!
...but unfortunately, drama is already lurking right around the corner. Because before you left the camp, Corazon accidentally forgot to properly store the meat for your barbeque in the freezer... and naturally the smell of food attracted a few 'guests'. So when you three get back, you find wild animals rampaging all around your camp!
your boyfriend does his best to scare away the wild beasts and protect you and Law with everything he has (even if that means fist fighting a bear), but by the time the creatures are gone, your campsite is in complete shambles (hah, get it?). And little Law is even more doubtful of this ‘Mountain Trip’ idea than he was before...
so without any tents to sleep in, you and Corazon spontaneously decide to turn this into a 'night under the stars' now, to which Law begrudgingly agrees. It’s not like he has any other options anyway
once the sun has set and stars start to appear on the night sky, Cora suddenly insists on taking Law onto his shoulders to give him ‘a better view’ of everything. Although- yeah, it's not like this is actually getting Law closer to the sky
„Cora-san, you do realize that this isn't really doing anything, right?“ Shhh Law, just let him have this moment
eventually though little Law starts to get curious about the stars and starts to ask about all the different constellations up on the sky. And although Corazon has basically no knowledge of astronomy, he still does his best to come up with his own names and explanations for them. Law is aware that his caretaker is trying to sell him a bunch of hogwash here, but he plays along regardless and even smiles occasionally as Corazon rambles on with his made-up stories
it doesn’t take long though until he starts running out of ideas, and so you decide to jump in and assist your boyfriend a little. Now the both of you are making up stories about the stars and how they might have come into existence- which is a lot of fun at first, but soon enough you start switching topics and this conversation turns into lovey-dovey couple talk instead
Cora starts by ‘naming’ a planet after you and noting how your eyes sparkle like the stars up above, and slowly but surely his inner smooth-talker is starting to emerge as you continue to reward him with cutesy giggling. One person however ain't having none of it...
Law was content with listening to your whacky made-up stories, but watching the two of you proclaim your love for one another? Please, anything but that! With a few loud and faked yawns he signals you that he’s getting tired and it’s time for bed
the three of you fall asleep more or less cuddled up to each other in one giant, family-sized sleeping bag. Corazon's feather coat serves as makeshift blanket here. Even though it's a warm summer night, you're still up high in the mountains and the wind gusts can be pretty cold there! So whenever one of you guys starts shivering, you can pull the mass of feathers over yourself for some extra warmth~

Missing Home. (Seven brothers)
Tumblr media
I must say that I went to Spain once, long time ago, and I survived with the bocados of jamón serrano. 1 Euro can save your life, and I miss “Los museos de jamón.” :”c  With that said, let´s get started, I actually don´t know that much about Spanish culture, sorry. 
Lucifer. 
Why are you playing those songs? “Mecano”? What in Diavolo´s sake is that? 
Dancing? I´m not sure about it. But I´ll see about that, maybe we can dance alone. 
No in public baby, nonono, we shall be cuddling in my chambers.
Mammon. 
“EL MUCHACHO DE LOS OJOS TRISTES.” style, totally style, he might be a baby boy but when he heard the song he yell “That´s my song!”
We can dance if you miss it, just because the great Mammon will always take care of you small human. 
No! Please don´t cry, or I´ll cry hear me out, we can make some, aaaaah I don´t know!!!! Here let me cuddle you! Better? 
Leviathan.
Nah I´m not cuddling, no normie, don´t you dare to look at me like that, please don´t “Blushes intensly” Yameteeeeeeeeeee. 
Don´t shout to me Mc, pleaaseeeee. Eh? You´re not shouting? Oh you are like that anime character from that anime that.....
Mc, I can´t dance, pleaseee don´t make me, MC! NO. 
Satan.
I read that Spanish´s families have tons of physical contact... I´m not going to make physical contact infront of my brothers. 
He dance! Just to make Lucifer crazy, but for you is a win/win, I don´t see the problem, not at all. 
He will make you some food, and will tell you some of the greatest words of them all, the boy have labia, trust me. 
Asmodeus. 
Yaasss I´ll dance with you among the stars, we can dance together in the sky. And we can make out just a little if you want. 
“UNA ROSA ES UNA ROSA” His song, do not even think about not giving that to him, because he can and will kick someones but for it.
Cuddles and kisses when you are crying, he will give you smooches. And will sing a lullaby in Spanish for you. (He really need to practice her Spanish, but he has such a beautiful voice.) 
Beel. 
He will understand, completly, full understanding about you missing your family, he lost Lilit, and sometimes he cry with you. 
Food? Spanish food?! Something new?! Can he try it?! I mean, he will but you can think he won´t. 
We can go and see your family, I would love that, there are so much things new!
Belphie. 
Snuggle while sleeping, take it or leave it. 
Might dance with you. And like Beel he will understand completly. So both of you can have a nice and beautiful day just like home. 
We can dance in our dreams, or you can wait 2 weeks, and I´ll play music for you in my violin. 
LET´S LEARN SOME SPANISH! 
“El muchacho de los ojos tristes.” It´s a song from Jeanette and the literal translation would be “The young man with sad eyes.” But that ain´´t cool. 
The song as always I´ll leave it here. If you want me to translate it please send me a message. 
youtube
Una rosa es una rosa from the band MECANO it´s another song, I´ll put it here. And it is “A rose is a rose.” 
youtube
And. “Labia.” means good at words, there is actually not translation in English, but there is the translation!

Annalyne Sonata [IkeVamp OC]
Hey guys! I am so verry happy to finally being able to officially introduce my IkeVamp OC, Annalyne! ٩(●ᴗ●)۶
This is a very long post, but I hope you won’t be discouraged and will enjoy learning a bit more about her, and the story I imagined for her (^.^)ゞ
I also commissioned the MOST AMAZING ARTIST EVER @lemonsqueazie​ for drawing my baby OC! ღවꇳවღ She is my favourite artist, and also an amazing human being that I love very much. She is so attentive to what you tell her, always doing everything to meet your ideas and make the best art for you! I highly recommend to check out her blog @lemonsqueazie​ alongside her Instagram and her DeviantArt post about her commissions! You can also find all the infos here.
NOW, ON WITH THE OC! (๑ゝڡ◕๑)
Tumblr media
Name: Annalyne
Last name: Sonata
Nicknames: Anna, Nana, Lyn
DOB: June, 19, 1995 (25 years old)
Origin: French
Languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean
Height: 160cm (5.25ft)
Sexuality: pan
Job: freelance fashion designer, blogger, gamer
Passions: fashion, drawing, eating, baking, cooking, videogames, reading, music
Phobias: larvas and maggots, bugs (except ladybugs)
Lover: Leonardo Da Vinci
"Heh? What is this? Kinda like a storage room?"
Annalyne is a very chill woman, taking things at her own pace and working hard towards her goals and dreams. When she doesn't work, she becomes a lazy slug chilling with a good book or videogames -part of why she is also a gamer-.
Her most prominent traits are definitely: her kindness, her humour -made of bad puns and references-, her caring side, her clumsiness and her supportive behaviour. Number one fan of her family and friends.
She will always go out of her way to make her loved ones feel loved, supported or just important. She can also easily throw hands if needed. No one messes with her or her close ones without getting punished.
She has a hard time trusting people. It looks like she is close to everyone, but she hardly confides in people. It takes a hecking long time to build a relationship of trust with her -due to some childhood traumas-
She is strong-willed and -way too- a tad stubborn. But she compensates by being very sweet and cute. She can be very anxious but eating calms her, explaining her chubbiness. Also, count on her for helping everyone.
She is very good at cooking and baking, and loves making things herself. She loves dogs, but honestly, she loves almost every animal ever. She has a talent with them, understanding them beyond reason: animals love her.
"Call me the PUNisher."
She is easily triggered by disrespect, racism, homophobia, bullying and abuse. She can kick your ass off if needed, being very rude and violent when angry -she already broke the arm of a racist, and slapped Shakespeare...-
Comte is the one engaging conversation with her, asking her if she likes this painting. She is hyper excited talking about it and Comte cannot help but giggle, finding a Da Vinci's fangirl in modern days being pretty rare.
How she met Comte:
Annalyne lives near Paris and absolutely loves museums. Therefore she spends a hella lot of time in the Louvre, especially contemplating Da Vinci's works. She meets Comte in front of Da Vinci's painting Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
They spend some time debating and chatting over Leonardo Da Vinci's life, works of art and other controversies. He smiles a lot throughout the whole chat, since he wonders how his old friend would react.
How she ends up in Comte's mansion:
Comte bids her goodbye after they have finally seen Mona Lisa from up close. She thanks him for the delightful conversation, happy she has met someone as knowledgeable as him on her favourite historical figure.
She is taken aback, quite surprised, and thinks the mansion is a storage room. Maybe the man is actually an employee? She is curious though so she walks through the hall and stares at everything in awe.
When he leaves, waving his hand, his pocket watch falls and Annalyne picks it up. She chases after Comte all over the museum and sees him going through a door. She opens it and ends up in the mansion's hall.
Who she meets:
While discovering the hall, she stumbles upon Leonardo who's asleep. She doesn't want to wake him up but God, she stares for a good minute at the sleeping man. "I have never seen such a gorgeous man..."
She walks past him and continues looking for Comte. But then, Napoleon appears and asks her who she is, and what she does here. She tells him she wants to find the gorgeous blonde man to give him his watch.
He offers to give to him in lieu of her. But she is wary of him, a stranger. And Comte appears, the noise having caught up his attention. He recognises Annalyne and is surprised she is there. She gives him the watch.
The first dinner:
Comte gladly accepts the watch and asks her if she wants to dine with him and the residents of this mansion. Mansion? She stares at him, dumbfounded, and frowns. "Mansion? Isn't that a storage room or something?"
Comte giggles and promises to explain it all over dinner. Her trust for Comte and her love for food makes her accepting the offer. How surprised she is upon seeing all these people gather around a huge table!
She sits down and gets served by Sebastian, under all the surprised looks. Comte then proceeds on explaining it all to her: how all the residents in there are famous historical figures, and how she is the past.
How she reacts:
She is surprised, but she believes in timelapse, magic, etc. So she just stares in surprise and shock but is soon overexcited to meet all these people who changed history and inspired her throughout her whole life.
She will ask a bunch of questions to each of them, questions she has always been curious about, like the rumours and alleged controversies. Even when she hears about not being able to go back in her time, she is strangely chill about it.
"Well, there's no helping it! I will come up with a lie when I go back there!" But she will write letters and leave them -along jewels of hers- in places she thinks her friends or family could find them in the future.
Meeting her soulmate:
Sebastian shows her her room and then tells her to explore the mansion if she wants to. What she does! She then remembers the man sleeping in the hall? He must be a historical figure as well, but who can he be...?
She wants to know so she goes to find him and stumbles upon him, nearly falling on top of him. He seems awake since he is sitting on the floor. He had heard her footsteps so he smiles at her. "Well, who do we got there, Cara Mia?"
She smiles at the Italian nickname and tells him everything about her being here. He is surprised she is so chill about it but he smiles and introduces himself. "Well Cara Mia, nice to meet you. I'm Leonardo Da Vinci."
Upon hearing the name, her eyes widen and her breath catches in her throat. She stares, her heart beating faster every passing second. His smile is intoxicating and she cannot help but blush and stutter.
"W-well, nice to meet you, Leonar- huh Sir Leonardo? How, how should I call you?" He laughs."Leonardo is enough, Cara Mia." He smiles and pats her head before standing up. "Watch yourself, Cara Mia."
Her reaction upon the vampiric reveal:
After having talked with Comte and decided to stay in his mansion, she actually wonders how he could resurrect them. She decides to ask Sebastian, her new colleague, and he just shows her the Rouge and Blanc bottles.
"What's that?" She asks, pretty curious."Take a look and you will understand." She first goes for the Rouge and recognises the metallic smell of blood. She stares at Sebastian. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"They are all vampires. Except I, who is human." She widens her eyes, sueprised, and then goes "Aaaaah, that's how he did! Makes sense!" She smiles. "Is Comte the one who transformed them all or no?" "He did, yes."
"So, is he like, a pureblood vampire? A superior vampire who can turn humans into vampires?" "How do you know about this?" "Oh please, Sebastian. Cinema, animes, mangas and books are full of vampires."
Sebastian stares at her, bewildered. "And you are not afraid? They could easily feed off of you, even kill you." "Oh please Sebastian, they're more like puppies than wolves! If they were capable of this, you wouldn't be here!"
"Plus," she says while flashing a big dumb grin. "If they wanted to eat me, they would have already bitten me and emptied me of all my blood. They are not dangerous." Sebastian is shocked at how chill she is.
Her relationships with the residents:
She gets close to every resident ofthe mansion pretty fast, especially since she is not pushy, funny, kind, calm and knowledgeable on a lot of matters. They all grow a soft spot for her, even shyer and harsher residents.
Napoleon: they bond over cooking and baking. Also, since she is French, she can tell him about the impact he had on her country.
Mozart: music is common ground for them. She knows a lot about him and will sing for him, being allowed in the music room.
Arthur: writing sessions together, in his room or hers. They tease each other a lot and she is quick to react to his flirting.
Vincent: they are very close, bonding over drawing and painting. They talk a lot about art and have art sessions.
Theodorus: she doesn't let him win with his harsh replies and he likes that. She is strong and adores Vincent: he likes her a lot.
Isaac: she isn't pushy and gives him room so he likes talking with or teaching her a few things. They often meet in his room.
Jean: he likes how pure she is but she doesn't let him avoid her. She will do anything to befriend him and he gives in.
Dazai: sharing writing ideas brings them closer. They also laugh a lot because they are both airheads amd chaotic walking memes.
William: she likes his work but hates him. She will always avoid him, or shoot sharp daggers glares at him.
Comte: the father figure. She loves going to him to talk or when she needs some calm, and having tea together.
Sebastian: always laughing and teasing each other. She will flick his forehead when he assumes things for her.
Her relationship with her soulmate:
She is a Da Vinci's fangirl so of course, she is a mess around him. At first, she just blushes a lot, stutters a bit around him and she fangirls when he is not around. "Omg I can't believe I witnessed him sketching!!!"
They bond very easily since they both love arts. And Leonardo is very curious about her fashion style, her job, and basically how the world works in modern days -she spent an entire night talking about phones-
One day, he finds her sighing in her room: "what's the problem?". "Ah, nothing, I'm just, not comfortable in Comte's dresses. I'm more into trousers or skirts from my time." He is curious so she tells him about modern day fashion.
"Ah, so women wear pants and shirts. Whatever they want." She nods excitiedly."Yeah, and I hope one day men will be able to do so as well! Wear skirts and dresses and heels. But toxic masculinity is still pretty deep..."
"Wait for me, Cara Mia" and he dashes off the room, to come back later with a stack of shirts and trousers. "Here, take these. They're mine but for now, it will do. Tomorrow, we're going shopping for you."
And they do go shopping the next day, buying loads of men clothes alongside jewels and shoes. Also, they buy fabrics, needles and everything for Annalyne to sew her own clothes. He loves seeing her so happy.
She spends the next days adjusting Leonardo's clothes and the ones they bought to her chubby curves. And Leonardo surprises her by wearing a dress. They go have dinner like this: her in men's clothes, him in women's clothes.
Legend says every resident nearly choked themselves of either shock or laughter. And Leonardo and Annalyne really enjoyed it a lot and decided to do this at least once a week -Leo enjoyed the dress, actually-
The purebloodness revelation:
She catches very early on that he is a pureblood, without him even telling her. She is extra sensitive so she kinda feels auras and saw how Comte and Leonardo's eyes are similar. His genius made even more sense.
"Leonardo. Are you like Comte, a pureblood vampire?" She asked him while they were shopping for fabrics. Leonardo nearly fell out of surprise. "What are you talking about, Cara Mia?" "Well, you know..."
"Same eyes as Comte, genius who can do anything, super strong and intimidating aura. Open-minded as if you've already seen everything, and laziness that can be explained by already having done everything possible..."
He stares at her and then laughs, patting and ruffling her hair. "You're awfully clever and intuitive, Cara Mia. Yes, I am a pureblood. Does it change anything between us? "HELL NO!" she shouts. "But I've got questions!!!"
She drowns him under questions on everything he's done, seen, lived. They spend almost all of their time together, teaching each other about their lives and their knowledge. Residents are jealous of the Leonardo monopoly.
How it "ends" between them:
She is a strong woman and will go back to her time. But she promises Leonardo she will find him, right after returning to her time. He asks her what day it was, when she entered the mansion. "March, 15th, 2020."
When she leaves, while everyone is crying, Leonardo calculates. "Okay, gone for a month in her time, so she'll be in the Louvre in April, 15th, 2020. Ah. My birthday." He smiles. Almost 200 years, but it will be so worth it.
When she passes through the door, she is back in her time. Asking a guide what day it is. "April, 15th, 2020". The day they agreed upon, and Leonardo's birthday. She smiles and then proceeds to rush out of the Louvre to look for him.
But then she passes in front of Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Her favourite painting. A tall and gorgeous man is standing there, in a blue shirt and blue jeans. She feels it. She goes to the man, pats him on the shoulder, and asks: "Leonardo...?"
The man turns around, a huge grin on his face, bright golden eyes shining with love: "Was about time, Cara Mia..." she cries and throws herself at his neck; he spins her, crying as well, burrying his face in her neck.
"I missed you so much. Never do this again. 200 years was worth it but it was too long." She is a mess while crying. "I, I pwomiss Leo, I will neba leaf you again-" he laughs at her messy face. "Look at you, silly girl." He kisses her.
"I want you to see how much I love you in my eyes. They speak on my behalf."
Trivia facts:
She has a tiny water spray bottle she labelled as "Holy Water". Whenever a resident smiles or laughs, she opens it and "collects" their happiness. Thus, when one is talking shit about himself, she sprays the water on them.
"There, you have been blessed with Holy Water. Now love yourself or I agressively hug you." -the mistake on the label,on "thoughts" is intended, as it is is a mix between thots and thoughts, bitch thoughts she's gonna spray away.
She hates Shakespeare, Faust and Vlad. Whenever they pass by the mansion, she grabs the garden hose she labelled "Garden Hoes" and splashes water on them. "Oh no, you walking sin, stay away from my babies!"
She eats A LOT and puts shame on Theo when it comes to eating sweet things. They have pancake-eating competitions -and guess what, she wins-. She will be snacking 24/7 when nervous, anxious, sad and basically under negative emotions.
She listens to every type of music. She really enjoys any kind of rock music, and is also very knowledgeable on classical music. She likes to dance on Kpop and sing on Disney songs: her favourites are definitely I’ll Make A Man Out Of You and Why Should I Worry -in French-
She used to practice martial arts so she can beat the crap out of anyone being a little sh*t with her or her loved ones. She also has a very scary aura when furious, leading to most people just running away from her wrath.
She loves gossiping with Arthur. Whenever she knows about some rumours, or when she needs to talk about something that upset her, she goes to his room with coffee or tea. They both irradiate chaotic gossiping energy when together.
She is the mom friend, and becomes the mom of the mansion. She already told Jean to “get his bottoms in the living room to eat with all of them”, else she was going to kick his butt so hard he would be unable to sit or practice fencing.
All the animals LOVE her. Chérie is missing? She is cuddling with her in the patio. Lumiere is not under the bed? He is sleeping on her laps while she reads. King is nowhere to be found? She is playing with him in the garden. Snow White vibe.
She loves flowers and will put some all over the mansion. She puts one every day in front of every resident’s door, with a message written on a tiny piece of paper, something like: “You are a sweetheart and you deserve the best, keep going, dearie!”

Djinn’s Bride! ~A Celebration of Love~
Part 5
[Walpurga Nacht Academy]
[Prefect Meeting Room]
Marcia: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH?!
Rosa: … Hey, hey, you’re kinda going overboard with the whole surprised reaction, you know? We’re already way past that.
Marcia: Haaaaaa? Don’t treat this like it’s just an everyday occurrence! 
Rosa: Huh? But shouldn’t you be happy? 
Marcia: Ha?! What’s there to be happy about?! Can’t you sense the situation here?
Rosa: Grr! I can! I totally can! That’s why I thought you’d be ecstatic to have all your problems solved like this! Isn’t this what you’ve been hoping for?! That ‘rich overnight’ type of success story?!
Marcia: YOU IDIOT!
Rosa: ?!?!
Marcia: Stuff like that doesn’t exist in reality! If something is too good to be true, then it definitely is! Don’t just take it for granted that things will work out so easily!
Rosa: E-Eh? What’s with this speech?! Since when did you have such a strong moral code?!
Marcia: It’s just common sense, Rosalia. Money that’s not earned through hard work will just trickle down between your fingers.
Rosa: Th-That was surprisingly cool coming from someone like you… It’s kinda scary seeing you like this. 
Marcia: These things aren’t matters to laugh at. If I don’t take them seriously the old man will get disappointed in me.
Rosa: Marcia…
Marcia: That’s why, under no circumstances, can I just throw everything I’ve worked on to get married to this guy! 
......
Besides he’s totally not my type, anyway.
Rosa: What’s with these standards all of a sudden?!
Marcia: Sorry~ I just don’t go for guys that look this silly~ I want a super cool looking husband that’s also filthy rich~
Rosa: Haaaaaaa?! Then what was with that speech just now?! Make up your mind already! 
Marcia: Hehehe~
Blanche: Goodness gracious. This has gone on for long enough.
June: Tch. Fuckin’ headache.
Diana: …
Cass: U-Um, in that case, you wi-will not take Mister Djinn’s offer, Miss Py-Pyroeis?
Marcia: No way, no way! Hahahahahaha! It sounds super troublesome, you know?
Vita: What a shame. To think that you would willingly discard your golden goose just like this. My expectations were surpassed. Fufufu~
Marcia: … You still sound like you’re looking down on me, heh… In any case! That’s how things stand. So as you can see, I’m gonna have to turn you down. I mean I’m flattered and all that, but our timing just isn’t right~
Rosa: Geh, what’s with that obviously fake line? And turning him down in front of everybody…
Diana: These sort of things should be blunt.
Rosa: I-I guess, but you know…
Djinn: Ah, so that’s how it is?
Blanche: … He’s taking it surprisingly well.
Cass: Se-Seems like he’s an u-understanding person. Ho-How fortunate!
Marcia: Yeah, yeah. So sorry again~ 
Djinn: …
Marcia: Ah, but don’t look glum! I’m sure you’ll find someone who’s just your type~ Just keep looking! The world’s your oyster!
Djinn: … Hm.
Marcia: …
Djinn: …
Marcia: Um, i-in any case! Since you won’t be fulfilling any wishes, guess you can go back to your lamp now! Ah, don’t worry! Our dorm will take super good care of it and won’t be bothering you or anything. 
Djinn: …
Marcia: … Ah? Uh?
Djinn: …
Rosa: … Hey, he’s still here… What’s up with that?
Cass: Ma-Maybe he needs help returning to his lamp?
Marcia: O-Oh! Hahahaha! Why didn’t you say that, man? Don’t be shy to ask for help! Here, here! As your kind master I’ll help you get back in the lamp and-
Djinn: … Actually.
Marcia: Ye-Yeah?! What’s wrong?
Djinn: That won’t be happening.
Marcia: E-Eh?! What do you mean?!
Djinn: Well, getting back there, is kinda, you know…
Marcia: Ye-Yeah?
Djinn: A huge hassle~
Marcia: … Huh?
Djinn: It’s~ sooooo~ lame~
Rosa: Geh! He’s just lounging on the table like it’s a sofa!
Blanche: It’s not as if he was much of a charming figure before, but…
Cass: Hi-His whole personality to-took a sudden shift…
Agatha: … Annoying.
Marcia: La-Lame? I mean, I guess I understand, but still… Didn’t you say the place is great?
Djinn: Ah, that… I was lying.
Marcia: Huh?!
Djinn: Yeah, it’s kinda small and cramped. Not to mention super dark. Can barely see anything in there. 
Marcia: A-Ah… 
Djinn: And it’s super lonely too~ Playing mancala against yourself is super depressing. Especially since I can barely see the board in the first place.
Rosa: … This guy’s life sounds sadder the more I hear about it.
Djinn: Haaa, I guess you’re right on that part, fluffy hair.
Rosa: Flu-Fluffy hair?!
Agatha: GYAHAHAHAHAHA.
Rosa: Do-Don’t laugh so loudly! It wasn’t even that funny!
Djinn: See~ That’s what I’m talking about! I want somebody to banter with and have fun. I’m super jealous of you guys~ Aaah, to be able to enjoy the world so freely~
Blanche: … He’s deeply misread the situation.
Diana: Mm.
Djinn: That’s why~ I’m looking for a wife~
Cass: He’s ju-just lonely in the end…
Rosa: Hmm, I guess we can’t fault him for this, huh? Alright, Marcia!
Marcia: Huh?
Rosa: Just go with him!
Marcia: HAAAAA?! NO WAY!
Rosa: But I feel super bad for him! Didn’t you just hear how pathetic he is? You’d be doing him a service!
Cass: Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Miss Morgainne! We can’t sa-sacrifice Miss Pyroeis li-like this!
Rosa: Eh? But didn’t you get that weird pitying sensation in your stomach when you heard him talk? Isn’t Marcia going with him the nice thing to do in this situation?
Cass: Um… I-I-I…
Vita: It would certainly solve this little issue~ I for one wish to congratulate you on your upcoming nuptials my dear magpie~
Marcia: He-Hey! Don’t marry me off, just yet!
Agatha: Hehehehehehehe… How… nice… you… get… to… be… a… March… bride…
Marcia: Nooooo! Listen to me!
Diana: Agatha. You’re wrong.
Marcia: Diana! You’re coming to my rescue?! I will worship the ground you walk on-
Diana: It’s June a bride should aim for.
Marcia: IS THAT REALLY THE PART YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT?! HAAAAAAAAAA?!
June: STOP YER YAPPIN’, DAMN IT!
Marcia: AAAAAAAAH! YOU MONSTERS! YOU’RE CASTING ME AWAY JUST LIKE THAT?! I’LL HAUNT YOU! I’LL SERIOUSLY HAUNT YOU ALL!
Vita: Oh~ What a delightful concept~ Is it not so, my dear Agatha?
Agatha: Hehehehehehe… seeing… the… chowder’s… agonized… face… would… be… fun… ehehehehehehehe
Marcia: HEARTLESS! ALL OF YOU! ABSOLUTELY HEARTLESS!
Cass: Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Miss Pyroeis!! Please!! Do-Don’t lie on the floor like this!
Marcia: AAAAAH, I DON’T CARE ANYMORE! YOU MONSTERS CAN JUST DO WHAT YOU WANT!
Cass: Mi-Mi-Mi-Miss Pyroeis!
Blanche: …. Djinn.
Djinn: Hm?
Blanche: I would like to make a request of you. 
Djinn: Ha, didn’t you hear me, bunny? Wish granting ain’t happening here today-
Blanche: No, that is not what I’m referring to. 
Djinn: Hm?
Blanche: As you can already see Marcia has no intention of following through with this arrangement. Forcing her against her will would only result in a miserable affair. This is why I believe it would be best for everybody to be done with this and move on. Don’t you agree?
Marcia: Blanche… BLANCHEEEEEEE!
Blanche: Do-Don’t cling to me like this! It is unpleasant!
Marcia: But!! I didn’t think you’d come to my defense like this! You’re an angel! A goddess! I’m eternally grateful to you!! My children will know of your-
Blanche: I understand already! So please, stop this right now!
Marcia: Blancheeeeeeeee!
Rosa: I-I guess Blanche is right after all. Forcing somebody to marry against their will is just…
Marcia: That should be common sense in the first place!! Seriously, why is your head screwed on backwards, Rosalia?!
Rosa: Huuuuuh?! Are you seriously calling me dumb right now, when I’m agreeing with you?!
Marcia: Don’t think I’ve forgotten how you almost sold me out! My only ally here is Blanche!
Cass: We-We’ve truly done something unforgivable…
June: Yer too harsh on yerself, Cass.
Marcia: And you’re not even trying to act compassionate at all!
June: HAAAA? WHAT WAS ‘HAT?
Marcia: Blegh!
June: I’MMA RIP ‘HAT TONGUE OUT RIGHT NOW, YA LIL’-
Blanche: I-In any case, I believe it has been made clear to you why I’m making this request.
Djinn: ................
Blanche: ...................
Djinn: … Gotcha.
Rosa: That was easy! That was way too easy!
Djinn: But… no can do on that one either, bunny.
Rosa: I KNEW IT
Blanche: ... Excuse me?
Djinn: As I told you girlie, sitting in that lamp is mind-numbingly boring and I don’t wanna do it anymore! 
Rosa: That’s exactly what a brat would say!!
Agatha: That’s… ironic… coming… from… you… hehehe
Djinn: So given the situation, there is only one solution~
Marcia: Eh, what do you meAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
[BOOM, CRASH]
Rosa: Wh-What’s with this wind current?! It’s like we’re sucked in!!
Blanche: It’s from the lamp! Take a good look at it!
[BOOM, CRASH]
Djinn: That’s right, that’s right~ We’re gonna settle this inside the lamp~
Marcia: I DON’T WANNAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Rosa: OUCH! HEY! DON”T PULL ON MY HAIR LIKE THAT! WH-WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?!
Marcia: THIS IS PAYBACK FOR BEFOREEEEEEE-
Rosa: EEEEEH?! YOU’RE DRAGGING ME DOWN WITH YOU?! HOW MUCH OF A VILLAIN CAN YOU BE?! LE-LET GOOOOOOO-
Cass: Mi-Miss Morgainne!
June: CASS! SHIT!
Blanche: Himalia-senpai, your grip’s too strong!
Diana: ....
Agatha: Let… go… you… dumb… land… animal… Big… Big… Sis… !
Vita: My~ I shudder to think what a wondrous adventure awaits us all~ Fufufu~
Marcia/Rosa: THIS IS THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORST-
