#tw: poisoning

[eternally-frozen]

Imagine this;

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, and it really does.

Initially you started it as a plan to get revenge. You’d never be able to go up against him. He was stronger and smarter than you,– but he also kept you far away from anyone that wasn’t him.

So when you ate your apple, you kept the seeds. You had enough enough tools to make a fine powder of them, and he believed his confinement to be enough of a warning to keep you from doing stupid things, so it went unnoticed when you put the seed powder in his food. 

This little routine wasn’t meant to do any harm. You just wanted to feed him something inedible to feel some sense of power, but you slowly realised it did more than you thought it’d do. 

And he didn’t notice it either,– not until he caught you putting the stuff in his drinks.

It’s really unfortunate you didn’t actually kill him.

Perks of Minako's curse Part 2

(Warning: A gratuitous consumption of poison)

Just a bit of an add-on to this. Commenters on Ao3 gave me a few ideas.

Like Kalim, Minako can detect poison, but unlike Kalim, she won't die ingesting poison. She becomes a regular guest of Scarabia parties because of this, and it's mandatory that she gets the first taste of every dish. If anyone were ever given a poisoned or laced dish without any meat (cuz Minako is still vegetarian), the food immediately becomes a part of Minako's food rations

I imagine that it's like this hilarious fanart, but instead it's Kalim dumping his laced lentil soup into Minako's mouth.

During the Pomefiore arc, Vil nearly tears his hair out in a fit of rage that the fatty and sugary foods that he cast "Fairest One of All" on is still safe for Minako to eat. She was seen smugly eating the tart that Trey gifted her and carrying on with her day like normal.

Lilia's cooking is almost the same situation with Minako's feelings on rancid food, but it's still an acquired taste. She eats Lilia's cooking anyway as a show of dominance and to strike fear into the hearts of Sebek and the rest of the Diasomnia students.

Minako cooking up her noxious recipes gives me iZombie cooking scenes vibes minus the cannibalism on brains. Her food looks incredibly appetizing that it's no wonder that Grim and Ruggie drool over them despite knowing that what she cooked up would kill them.

And speaking of Ruggie, boy does he wish he had Minako's immunity. He'd be able to make poisonous berries and plants a part of his diet.

Crewel is a little uneasy about his daughter, I mean his student continuing to rely on lethal berries and plants for food even after he forced Crowley to give Minako a more sufficient wage. He later concludes that Minako is a lost cause as he watches her munch on her candied lantana flowers and spread nightshade jam on her scone during their afternoon tea time.

Sam is an enabler, advertising various poisons in his shop as tasty condiments only for Minako.

"Hey, this'll taste great on salads!"

Jade is enabler #2 and is amused by Minako's taste for poisonous flora. Surely, she understands the beauty of mushrooms. He and her are happily cooking, or "stinking up the kitchen" as Floyd calls it, making every mushroom dish in the book—death cap pasta, skullcap pizza, cream of destroying angel mushroom soup, jack o' lantern risotto, you name it!

Jade won't dare to eat any of what they made, but he likes to watch Minako's eyes light up when she takes a bite out of the pasta. He had a great day: a date with the lovely dorm leader of Mugglesworth and cooking with mushrooms.

Rook is enabler #3. You can't tell me that he doesn't poison the tips of his arrows. He shows her his collection of wolfsbane juice and even gives Minako a sample to drink. He takes her down to the Pomefiore lab and the place temporarily becomes a bar where Minako can experiment on making mocktails. Upon seeing her down ten tubes of potions, the Pomefiore students are either feeling irked, horrified, or more attracted to this girl (Vil feels a mix of all three).

If the Beautiful Queen were here, she'd probably be shaking in her high heels at this horrid little girl that thrives on the taste of poison.

Headcanon - All Toppat leaders are required to micro dose poisons to build immunities to them. This started after a paranoid leader started doing this and every leader followed in their lead, deciding the paranoid was on to something. After one leader lost three right hands to being poisoned, it became more of an unofficial rule to build the immunity as a right hand. There is an interesting trend in those that don’t follow in their footsteps of being poisoned at some point in their leadership, most not surviving it.

Scars/ Permanent wounds and issues to Yuu from the OB's:

Riddle: Small pale skinned scar to her neck from flying debris, not as noticeable as others unless actively looking for it.

Leona: Three pinkish scars to her upper right arm in the shape of a large felines claws from where he'd torn into her.

Azul: A permanently cracked rib to her left side where she'd had the misfortune of being squeezed by a tentacle and one of the bones didn't ever heal properly.

Jamil: A single whip mark across her back that ripped open; upon healing the skin remained raised the scar a lighter tinge of skin tone.

Vil: Breathing problems that results in occasional coughing spells when she overexerts herself too much due to breathing in too much poison.

Idia: Third degree burns brought on by being too close to his firing range to her right thigh and extending to the calf. Like the scars from Leona the mark left behind is pinkish and raised.

Malleus: tbd... (Depends how book 7 goes but will likely be the worst)

Bonus Grim: Small claw shaped scars on her hand after finding him consuming another blot rock.

If you had to write the concept of the holders in other fandoms youre in (any genre), who would you place where and why?

Ex. John in animal crossing, etc.

OSHSKJS I READ THAT AS JOHN ANIMAL CROSSING THE FIRST TIME I SAW THIS And it was stupidly funny. Also!! I'm so sorry for the late reply I kept getting distracted with other stuff irl.

Mild content warning for mentions of death, murder, poisoning, and vomit

-----

Charles (Steven Universe)- A Cinnabar originally made for the court of Pink Diamond. For my headcanon, Cinnabars are basically just the fire counterparts to Larimars (same size and everything). Got corrupted during the gem war, turning him into a fox-like creature with multiple eyes that's constantly on fire. Extremely mischievous and downright mean as a regular gem, but does have a friendly side he shows as time goes on. Particularly likes pranking his fellow gems in Little Homeworld, said pranks start out destructive but gradually become harmless.

Ferris (Danganronpa)- The Ultimate Dog Catcher. A lax and carefree guy with a love of arcade games and dumb movies. Will talk your ear off about dogs and all the different breeds of them if you give him the chance. Gets along with most anybody he meets, including the player themeselves. Dislikes dark chocolate. Uneasy about the nature of the killing game, but believes that everyone can get out alive if they relax and take their time.

He gets murdered first, of course. He dies via lethal injection while asleep.

John (Animal Crossing, cause my stupid humor demands it)- An extremely shady Greenland shark NPC who "is just mindin his own business, kid." Talks and dresses like a guy from the 50s, minus the slurs. Begrudgingly asks the player to bring him along to a NMT island, claiming he only wants to see someplace different. Rewards the player by mailing them 3 gold nuggets. Implied to be associated with Redd in further dialogue interactions.

Jeagar (...My Little Pony YEAH YEAH DONT BULLY ME /j)- The spirit of a long dead unicorn trapped in the Inspiration Manifestation spellbook. Accidentally released after the book is destroyed in an earthquake. Becomes disgusted with the current materialistic state of the world, then decides to destroy it by bringing the darkest desires of all Equestrians to life. Probably gets defeated and banished forever by the Mane 6. Implied to have been a student of Starswirl's when he was alive.

Daniel (Yume Nikki)- The Living Room, which can be found in the Mall. It consists of multiple pipes laid next to each other, making up the floor and walls. A giant, blue eye sits in the center of the back wall, watching the player. Under the eye is a multitude of buttons and levers. Pressing a random one of these, which changes with each playthrough, will give the player the Steamwhistle Effect. A small whistle lays on top of the player's head, which makes noise as they walk around.

-----

And two bonuses specifically for all the support you've shown me! :)

Sylvain (Snowperson)- A small but angry and borderline feral snowman. Often runs on all fours, each limb having 3 steel hooks instead of fingers or toes. No buttons, but has two red cat's eye marbles for eyes. Hair is made of cheap black pinata paper. Special power is Hemopremolar, which allows the subject to inject a powerful anticoagulant into the victim's bloodstream via biting. This usually guarantees the victim's death from blood loss or shock.

Aldin (Frostbitten)- A tourist from southern Australia who was killed by Sylvain during his vacation. A rather dense and reckless man who throws caution to the wind in the name of fun. Not exactly fond of cannibalism, but does enjoy the immortality and endurance aspect of being a frostbitten. Special power is Acetate Reflux, meaning the subject has the ability to produce extremely corrosive vomit after eating road salt.

I'm so upset and mad and heartbroken.

My dog, Orin, died. This little man was the best thing I've had. I miss him so much. Best dog, best friend.

And if losing wasn't bad enough,

We are pretty sure my brothers crazy ex poisoned him. We don't have proof, but he was fine, had several more years ahead of him and was so happy and healthy. Then, with in hours, he was sick, lathergic, and his tummy was upset. He's a terrier, he eats random things, he poops, he feels better, so we didn't suspect anything. We just thought he'd eaten something that made him queasy. He passed away, and we were devastated. ARE devastated.

And conveniently, my brother was served papers from said ex, that same day. She's the type that would and i just can't.

He was supposed to poop and get better loke always, but he didnt.

Gullrun is one of the most infamous medicine cats in the Clan’s history, for all the wrong reasons.

(don’t mind me just doing some Star Strings world building)

TW: Death, poisoning

Gullrun was known for breaking the medicine cat code and poisoning his patients with yew berries (deathberries), killing them instead of saving them. For his crimes, he was exiled from the Clan and banished to the Dark Forest after his death.

My fav version of poison ivys power origin story is a lá Thorns (medically tortured as a kid) and when she learns about a literal child following batman around she FREAKS OUT.

Ivy gets batman alone then serves him a total curveball: she wants to vaccinate Robin from most of her toxins. Bruce thinks it’s a trap until word on the street is that Scarecrow and joker had multiple poisons stolen. He confronts ivy and she admits to stealing them but it’s for the proposed vaccine for Robin.

The rules are that he’s not allowed any samples of the vaccine, and Robin stays with her for three hours for the vaccine to fully absorb into his system. Batman can stay with him, but only in the same room as she might need to use lab equipment.

So every Robin gets the very odd experience of having their biannual vaccine from Dr. Poison Ivy, where they are all on their best behavior and get biodegradable stickers while Bruce just very patiently sits next to them like >:| with one of those temperature guns aimed at their heads

my comic for @aabadendingzine which is out for free over here.

extra stuff/commentary under the cut | like what i do? support me on ko-fi 💙

helloooo how's it going? i really hope you enjoyed the comic <3 it's rare for me to draw such wholesome things, i know [bats eyelashes]

DFGHDJKF ok i know, it's evil, the entire zine is evil you should go read it!!!!!!! but also, i remember coming up with this prompt and the image of mikeko trying to wake a dead apollo up evoked such a visceral reaction in me that i audibly went "NOOOOOO" when i thought it up LOL

the fourth page is the first page i ever thumbnailed bc i knew EXACTLY how i wanted this thing to end!

i think my favorite page of this comic is the 2nd page (the 4th page being my second favorite bc what can i say, i'm evil wheezes) i just really enjoyed drawing the montage of apollo going about his life and kristoph just. being there. always watching him.

i keep thinking about how spark brushel mentioned feeling like he was being watched those past 7 years. i imagined apollo would get a taste of that once he starts trying to find out the truth behind what happened in his first case.

and as for my favorite panel, I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE!! it's just fun shoving every important element alluding to the case 7 years ago to the moment when zak died!

and it's not very obvious but an element i really like about this one is zak still on the chair he died on. it's just his torso visible and i would've loved to make it more obvious that he's there but oh well.

i can't think of anything else to add about drawing this so i'll end it by saying: PLEASE GO READ THE ZINE, IT'S SO SOS SOSOSOS FULL OF LOVE FOR HURT AND TRAGEDY AND THE WAY MY FELLOW ZINEMATES EXPLORED THAT IS SUCH!!! GOOD AND HEARTWRENCHING STUFF!!!!!!!!!

i had to take a break from reading the zine when i went out to finish it bc my chest started to physically hurt bc ohhhhh lordy, it just hurt. it just hurt a lot! (please do read the trigger warnings before reading the thing bc this zine deals with a lot of heavy stuff!)

i like to joke about how i'm evil and enjoy evil things such as angst no comfort which. well, it's kind of true LMAO so i'm thrilled that i was able to be a part of this zine and cook up something completely terrible <3

here's the link for it again, go read it!

Danny, due to his biology of being half dead, can eat very questionable things and not die. He decides to start a youtube channel with this.

He buys obvious shitty supplements online, clear and obvious scams, and takes them as directed for a month.

Then he reports what they did to him, and sends the samples to get tested. He's gotten more than a few scammers arrested by providing solid evidence that they used hazardous materials to make their product.

He gets away with this by claiming to have the power of abnormal metabolism, or an "iron stomach", so toxins aren't as likely to hurt him.

One of his viewers sends him an unmarked bottle of pills, saying that if he doesn't take the entire bottle on a livestream, they'll blow up a city.

Danny does his livestream, and goes out of his way to use the entire bottle of pills in extravagant recipes. By the end of it he's created a five course meal, all with the pills cooked/melted in, and it's become a mukbang.

The villain who sent it is watching the livestream pissed off, because they didn't specify how to take the pills, so this technically counts. The heroes they have trapped are losing their minds with concern.

Perks about Minako's curse (contains a tiny spoiler from the Ignihyde chapter)

(Warning: mentions of poisoning and consuming poison)

This is a little bit inspired by @underqualified-human’s "? Yuu Au" and @blackopals-world's Black Feast because the more I write and think about concepts for Minako, the more of an eldritch horror she becomes.

I remember that one quote from Vil while going through the Ignihyde arc, that the line between a curse and a blessing is blurred depending on how a person views it. It got me thinking about Minako's curse, and how it benefits her.

I mean yes, it's always been in my mind that the blot curse does give her a boost in magical power as a mage compared to her peers once she learns how to control the inconveniences it gives her, but I'm also thinking about her immunity to certain things.

Like poison. Blot is a toxic substance, right? Having lived with it her whole life (albeit unknowingly up until she was 12), it's made her immune to poison. I've had this one random story in my mind, that Minako intended to share with Kalim during the Scarabia in order to attempt to relate to the many poisoning attempts he went through. During her first year of Hogwarts, she drank a laced a drink that an assassin actually meant to give to Minako's best friend, Kikyo Malfoy. Both girls hadn't known that it was poisoned, and they panicked when Minako instantly started feeling sick.

Her immunity wasn't as strong when she was young, but Minako still survived a heavily laced drink with a poison that should have killed a child her age in a matter of seconds. It took a hysterical Kikyo and a professor a whole two minutes to get to the hospital wing (apparition was not an option within the castle), and Minako still survived.

When she's older, her immunity is much more refined. This includes being able to eat anything that Vil has poisoned with his unique magic. It's come to the point where Minako has developed a taste for poisonous plants and berries if she ever needed to save money on her budget. She puts nightshade berries in her pies, juices, and even makes jam out of them. The death cap mushrooms donated from Jade? They're in her risotto. And with the flora that only exists in Twisted Wonderland, she's free to experiment with whatever tastes good or what's available to her without having to worry about dying. Don't worry though, she always labels her poisonous food stock as "WARNING: POISONOUS FOOD (GRIM, YOU WILL DIE IF YOU EAT THIS!)" Emphasis on Grim because he's a terrible listener.

She still won't eat rancid or mouldy food though. It doesn't matter if she's immune to food poisoning. That shit still tastes gross.

(Additionally, I originally wanted her to carry bezoar at all times ever since the poisoning incident. Maybe she just keeps it around for her friends, mostly for Kikyo because there were many attempts on her life.)

Idk I think this might be cool. Not sure if I should make this canon. Thoughts?

Which of the ob's affected Yuu the most. Including ob malleus

Not sure if you mean physically or mentally, so I'll do both. Also under cut for heavy answer.

In the physical aspect (as for right now at least, until I decide on what happens with blot Malleus) that title belongs to Vil. The cracked ribs due to Azul's blot do still definitely cause some pain, but Vil's poison spread that she'd breathed in have done permanent incurable damage to her lungs that has the potential to flare up whenever. Whether or not that flare up will just cause her to just have a small coughing fit or full on compromise her breathing to the extend she wouldn't be able to catch her breath, is a constant unknown.

In the mental aspect however, I'd say they were all equally distressing after finding out what blot did to the other students bodies after the mishap with Riddle. It isn't so much mentally affecting her in the sense of leaving her with serious trauma, though she did have a few sleepless nights filled with constant nightmares after the event in question, but instead affects her in the way of being concerned for her classmate. Seeing them fall to blot is already distressing enough to their bodies but knowing the blot could potentially kill said classmate, is part of the reason she puts herself at risk by sticking close to the blotted student and consistently checking on their well being after said blot.

Domestic Arkham!Jason Todd Headcanons

Y’all ever think about the inherent tragedy of Arkham!Jason craving something as simple as domesticity? 

How he craves the comfort of home-cooked meals, but can’t actually eat anything he hasn’t prepared himself. Because during his time in Joker’s captivity, almost everything he was served was either poisoned or rotten, and now every time he eats, it’s like he’s expecting the burn of poison or the flavor of something sour and rotten flooding his mouth.

Can you imagine the frustration he must feel at his inability to share a simple meal with you? 

The sudden clench in his gut when he realizes that he wasn’t there to watch you prepare the food, and despite the fact that he trusts you, he can’t help that familiar dread rising in the back of his throat. 

Jason tries, for you, he tries. 

But there are times, more often than not, when he feels the phantom burn of poison or the flavor of something sour and rotten flooding his mouth–and his body reacts before his mind does. 

And suddenly he’s hunched over the sink or the toilet, vomiting out half-digested food, and it’s almost like he never left Arkham Asylum.

Can you imagine the absolute burning jealousy he feels whenever his family interacts with you with an ease he can only dream of? 

Maybe it’s a movie night, during one of those rare times when Gotham City didn’t need saving, and there’s Tim and Dick and Barbara piled on the couch. And you fit so well with them–a tangle of limbs and careless laughter at a dumb joke Dick made–that it’s Jason who feels like an outsider. 

Jason sits apart from all of you, the only person to pick an armchair instead of the couch, because every time he tries to sit close to someone, all he can think is whether they’re close enough to see his scars.

The table is piled high with snacks, more than the five of you can realistically eat in an evening. There’s popcorn and pizza, mozzarella sticks and pretzels, several bars of chocolate that can only be found in Bludhaven, the air is thick with the smell of grease and cheese dust. 

And it’s almost like being a teenager again. Before that night and the Joker and everything else that followed. 

It’s almost like being a teenager again, dizzy with the good fortune of being adopted by Bruce fucking Wayne, watching some dumb flick with his siblings when he was supposed to be training. Ordering takeout food and laughing along with Dick at Alfred’s visible disappointment as they stuff their faces. 

It’s almost like being a teenager again, but not quite. 

Jason watches the four of you pass around a bowl of popcorn, arguing about which genre of movie to start with. But when Barbara tries to hand it to him, he feels a sudden clot of heat in his chest, and he’s already shaking his head before he even knows why. 

And he realizes, he’s afraid. 

He doesn’t know who made the food or what restaurant it was ordered from, and he is sure if he asks, no one would be able to give him all of the names of people who handled it. 

The burn of poison and the taste of something sour and rotten flooding his mouth.

Poisoned cake and rotting rats. The writhing of pale white maggots against bone and glistening meat and gristle.

He doesn’t touch anything for the rest of the evening.

Can you imagine how scared he is? 

Jason is so acutely, painfully aware of how exhausting it is to be with him. To be with someone you can’t even share a simple meal with. 

And he wonders how long it will be before you get tired of him.

Bruce, after all, had left after he had seen the twisted thing Jason had become. 

And if his own father couldn’t even stomach his presence–

And suddenly he’s hunched over again, over the sink or against the toilet, vomiting out half-digested food. 

And it really is like he never left Arkham Asylum after all.

This is what he thinks, when he finally collapses on the tiles of your bathroom floor, cold sweat pouring down his face. Your presence hovering over him like a ghost, a thousand apologies pouring from your throat. 

But it’s not you that’s the problem, it’s him. 

It’s this awful thing in the back of his head, always expecting the next threat, the next injury, the next sick game the Joker has come up with. 

It’s the fact that his days with the Joker had left him so twisted and strange that he can no longer fit into a normal life, even when he wants to. 

And this is what he thinks, when you catch the way he is not watching the movie at all. But instead he is looking at his family’s faces, his chest pulsing with a jealousy so fierce it might as well have been his heartbeat.

Jason wishes–oh, how he wishes–it was that easy, that simple for him. 

You disentangle yourself from his siblings–Dick had already fallen asleep, head lolling heavily on your shoulder, to pad your way to him. You sink down onto the armchair to share it with him, practically on top of him, and he marvels at the way your heat dispels the chill that has crept over him. 

Your hands are small compared to his, but they are just big enough that when you lay them atop of his, he does not have to think about whether you can see the scars. 

This is what he thinks, on days like these. It is something he always thinks, a small voice in the back of his head that is never silenced.  

He doesn't deserve you.
