#the viper's poison

[cerealmonster15]

jamiazu / ashenviper week day 2: potionology!!!

Ummm teacher why isn’t their nefarious concoction’s smoke cloud turning into a skull and crossbones like the rest of ours 🤨

[diodellet]

If Kalim was often subjected to poisoning attempts as a kid, wouldn't his family have thought of like... training him to develop resistances to common poisons* at least? Or would that have been one of the many other duties pushed onto Jamil's shoulders as taste tester?

What if they were both subjected to it?

*assuming that lethal poisons are difficult to acquire, but then again, some like to headcanon that Kalim's relatives are probably the ones behind some of his assassination attempts. Knowing how anything isn't impossible to procure if you're rich, this could go sideways very quickly (in an angsty/whumpy way 😇)

Dark/Poison type fakemons, no name yet

They are based on the Spider tail horned viper

The first one is based on the kuchisake-onna urban legend, it uses its tail to conceal its face, luring its prey with hipnotic dance movements, only to reveal its terrible jaws once its victim is too close to run away

Its evolution is based on the Jorōgumo, the spider woman yokai, it coils its body on top of its spider-legged tail and uses it to walk around. It dances rhytmically to hypnotize its preys, leaving them vulnerable to its terrible bite, it is beleived they even hunt humans.

Dragonbite Viper

Threw in drawing a design for this fantasy snake species as well for funsies. Thank you for over 700 followers! I'm really happy people are enjoying this fun little side project I've been doing in my free time. I'm going to be taking another break to recuperate and work on other art projects for a bit before drawing the arc 2 dragons. Until then, keep your eyes peeled for any more adopts, bases or other goodies I may post in the mean time :3c

[Image Description: A digital drawing depicting the fictional species, dragon bite viper from Wings of Fire. It's curled around itself, colored with brown scales and a warm creamy underbelly. It has dark reddish purple vertical stripes all on its back and tail. Its eyes are light red with slit pupils, and it has horns on its brow, similar to real life horned vipers. /.End ID]

A mysterious pokemon lives on the banks of the region's rivers. It may look beautiful and majestic at first, but don't let your guard down because in the blink of an eye this pokemon can inject you with a poison that will be your end.

Twst guidebook stuff.. Including the beta design of Riddle, Jamil, Azul he was in diasomnia back then, Deuce, Ace, Trey, Cater, And Malleus.

Skip to 4 5th (made a mistake sorry) picture If you want to see the beta designs

Slightly low quality, but still visible enough

Tell me if you want to see the other characters designs (does not include their beta design, in the guidebook it only shows jamil, azul, malleus, jack, trey, ace, riddle, deuce, and cater's beta design, the ones ill show is pictures from 1-4 as an example) The guidebook only shows 4 out of 7 of the overblot designs (Riddle,Leona,Azul,Jamil)

Look at the love of my life.

Alright all i have to say is the first face literally looks like THIS face from Roblox...

Rook. Honey. What happened.

??!! MALLEUS.

Malleus, Ace & Jack's beta design. Im not sure if the jack is one on the very right side.

Jamil, Azul, Malleus, Ace & Trey. Had to picture it slanted so the light doesn't block the one im picturing

Azul looks zesty asf. I did not expect him to be in Diasomnia in his beta design😭😭

(left side) was the beta version of how the battles were supposed to be.

Heartslabyuls beta design..

I still love riddles beta design, he looks like an average school bully lol

I cant read the whole entire book since i bought was raw untranslated book.

Moments in Wings of Fire that changed my brain chemistry (potential spoilers).

Glory becoming queen and essentially giving a big fat middle finger to the concept of destiny

Viper's death being brushed over

Flame crying

The moment in The Brightest Night just as the dragonets land near Burn's Stronghold with all the dragons of all the tribes gathered around waiting for them

Clay's fakeout death

The prologue to Moon Rising

Glory's fakeout death (why are there so many fakeout deaths?)

Anemone repeatedly beating Moon with a broom and her subsequent meltdown (and my subsequent realization that she was a scary fucking character)

Darkstalker Legends from beginning to end

The epilogue to Darkness of Dragons confirming Anemone's crush on Tamarin

Sundew being confirmed as the biggest lesbian this side of the ocean

Jerboa's backstory

Snowfall's last vision in The Dangerous Gift (Pretty much all of that book honestly)

Jambu having a boyfriend, and said boyfriend being instrumental in saving the world

Finishing the Flames of Hope epilogue and realizing that all the main characters survived to the end.

More screengrabs of the Twisted Wonderland Tapis Rouge event, as this Rhythmic tune as Vil and his TR group walking down the red carpet.

I love the poisoned apple and heart box reference cameos in it.

[kirexa]

I need more angst with the OB boys. I need Jamil to have horrific nightmares about how he almost killed Yuu & co. I need Riddle feeling incredibly ashamed of letting himself go past his limits and him hiding from everyone for a while. Trey and cater need to force him out of his room at first. I need Leona remembering how he almost turned Ruggie's arm to sand and him napping in different places to avoid Ruggie. Azul stress eating while remembering what happened and hating himself for it. Yuu genuinely afraid to be near the OB boys for some time. OB boys thinking they don't deserve to be close with the people they hurt.

I have literally just spent the last few days going through all of the twst supervillain au posts. ALL OF THEM.

It’s not 3 am here for like the third night in a row what are you talking about

I have so many thoughts and could ask so many questions but I am limiting myself for now because spamming is bad! No spamming, me! 😂

SO we got the event of Azul and the twins finding out that Yuu is the child of Crowley. And we got that little snippet saying Yuu wanted Azul to help them tell the other villains so they could just get it out of the way because they were tired of having it hang over their head.

BUT WE NEVER ACTUALLY GOT THOSE SCENES/THAT SCENE!

I wanna know how that wentttttt!!!! What happened?!?! How did it go??? Did Yuu tell them one on one? Or did they sit them all down together? How did each of them react to the news? I feel like it would have to be one on one because telling them altogether would be a recipe for a LOT of emotions all mixed together to create a volatile bomb.

Pleaseeeeee I wanna knowwwwwww!!! Please gift me us with your words of wonder oh supervillain AU writing deity!!!!!!

(Also I just wanted to say back when you were giving out names to everyone my first thought for a name for Kalim was just ‘Minion’ because you compared Jamil and Kalim to Megamind and Minion and I was like “that would be a total Jamil thing to do - just call Kalim ‘Minion’ because he was tired of Kalim getting all the attention in their civilian lives and this was supposed to be about JAMIL DANGIT so even though Kalim invited himself along he doesn’t get a cool name he just gets ‘Minion’ and Kalim would unironically love it. But then you named him Water Boy and that has the same energy lmao 😂)

Thank you so much for enjoying the supervillain AU so far!!

(Make sure you get some sleep though!! It’s important to try and maintain a regular sleep schedule!!)

And basically the answer to your question is that Yuu called a quasi-truce of sorts to sit down all the supervillains to deliver the news. Both because it was the easiest way to avoid the accusations of favoritism that would arise if the reporter went around one at a time, and ensured they’d only need to go through the whole thing once.

Of course, the other six supervillains are only willing to humor this because it’s Yuu that called it. They may have all brought their most trusted aides along with certain, ah, “safety measures” just in case anyone else tries anything, but even these are pretty tame compared to their usual fare. It’s a silent agreement that everyone is on their best behavior in front of their host.

Even if they’re a bit disgruntled by the fact that this meeting is being held in the second Monstro Lounge location, and Leviathan and the Leech twins are flitting around Yuu like a particularly jealous school of fish.

Worse, the reporter isn’t even telling them to stop.

And then Yuu finally comes out with what they want to say and—

Oh.

Oh, now the other supervillains can understand Azul’s protective impulses.

Vil and Idia are having the hardest time processing it and have the most questions, all told. Their mental image of Crowley and their mental image of Yuu are so different after all, it’s a struggle not to ask, “but has there actually been a paternity test and are we sure this isn’t just one of the world’s most depraved lies?”

In fairness, Crowley has done nothing to disabuse them of the notion that this isn’t the exact kind of behavior he would sink to if mildly inconvenienced.

Of all of them, Malleus and Riddle are probably taking it the best. After all, they both know what it’s like being the prized heirs of people who cannot afford to let them shirk their duties. Either because the well being of others’ depends on them taking up that mantle, or their parent’s pride.

Either way, they’ll support Yuu’s search for freedom from their villainous father’s legacy, by taking up the mantle of head of Night Raven themselves if need be.

Please give Leona and Jamil two to five minutes to reboot. Both have partially blue-screened at the motifs of being cast aside and the inesacabilty of family bloodline inherent in Yuu’s backstory. Once they’re back to normal, they’ll be some of Yuu’s staunchest defenders, but give them forty eight hours to process first.

Maybe eighty two.

After Yuu’s answered almost all the questions, Ace butts in, “So, you kept sticking your nose in ‘cause you wanted to get kidnapped?”

Yuu shrugs, “Not, not wanted? But it was a bit less nerve wracking if I knew I’d done something to merit being there, so to speak. Made it less likely that it was because you’d worked out my heritage.”

The other villains and minions nod, satisfied.

But Deuce pipes up with a worried frown curving his brow.

“So, does this mean you won’t be investigating our schemes anymore?”

A hush spreads through the room. All eyes are fixed on the reporter, waiting for their response with bated breath.

Yuu grins, a gloriously competitive spark in their eyes. “Oh, you wish.”

y’know the voicemail from breach where he asks out brim to join the jam session?

and the voicemail kinda implied sova knowing how to play a musical instrument?

anyways it made me soooo excited when there were fanarts of sova with an acoustic guitar after the voicemail; really went well with his chill, down-to-earth vibe ;w;

then later i wondered about viper and if she went to the jam session (don’t think they said anything if my memory’s correct). assuming she was in HQ at that time, i figured she hadn’t gone bc of her work and/or strong aversion to really loud noises.

so ofc what does my soviper brain come up with????

here's how i imagined it: viper will be walking back from her research lab late in the evening (early morning? 1am-ish?), physically and mentally exhausted, when she gets stopped by the most beautiful guitar notes coming from inside the main lounge area.

obvs her first reaction is wondering how strange it is for another person to be up at this late hour besides herself—she knows how particular brim gets when someone doesn't follow his curfew rule. even if the musical notes have her mesmerized, a part of her is annoyed about it since she's not really in the mood to hand out punishments on brim’s behalf when she just wants to get some rest. 

(should she pretend she didn't hear anything? let them get in trouble on their own?)

(should she get it over with so that she didn't have to deal with the consequences from brim the following morning?) 

eventually her feet made the decision for her as she moved closer and closer . . .

. . . and suddenly the annoyed look on her face completely melts away at the sight of sova, dressed in his pajamas and hair half-tied back, playing his acoustic guitar on the couch.

only when he finishes playing do they have their heartfelt talk.

viper will be the first to compliment his skills and mention how she never knew he played an instrument in all the times she’s known him. ofc sova would be super humble about it; he recently got his acoustic guitar months ago when brim finally started giving him more breaks, and he needed smth to entertain himself.

atp she lets him know how glad she is to hear him getting the rest he deserves, then trailing off with a casual, ‘it’s a shame i couldn’t be there. had i known you played i might’ve reconsidered . . .’

and sova just has this contemplative look from the comment before making her an offer: ‘i could give you a private session, if you like.’

‘i would like that.’

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

andddddd ending this hc with a visual picture of sova playing his acoustic guitar on the couch w/viper’s head on his shoulder, eyes closed as she gets lulled to sleep listening to the soft melody ~

Thinking of how Kalim admitted that Jamil told him not to tell anyone about his signature spell “long ago” and not recently, meaning possible years before attending NRC,

Implying that Jamil’s signature spell could’ve manifested from a dangerous and traumatic experience and Kalim might've been the only person who knew about it until chapter 4 aUGGHH

SCORPEPPER & NAGAREAPER (Poison/Fire) The Scorpion pepper Pokemon

This insect-like pokemon produce a powerful toxic oil from the bulbous glands at the end of their claws and tails, this oil is so caustic that it will burn anything that it touches and is often shot at the eyes and noses of possible predators to blind and disorient. However, if this oil is properly extracted by an expert and then diluted and purified, it becomes a very tasty seasoning oil, altough a very spicy one.

They have the ability "Caustic", this ability causes all poison-type moves to have a small chance of leaving the target with a "Burned" status rather than "Poisoned", even if the move doesnt usually leave its target poisoned, like acid spray or cross poison (which are moves this pokemon learns by lvl up)

They are based in the Trinidad Scorpion Pepper and the Naga Viper Pepper, its shiny colors are based on the White Carolina Reaper Pepper, this 3 are some of the most spicy peppers in the world

NAGAREAPER is also based in Nagas, serpent like beings from southeastern asian mythology, but more specifically the king of nagas statues from thailand temples, with large fangs and single large horns on the mide of their heads, some even having multiple heads, usually 3 but they can have up to 7
