@blightedmikhael location: Nornwatch Keep notes: troupe 1: Nornwatch Keep

The blighted lands were riddled with the bodies of young men who looked to prove their mettle against a fable: they always came up wanting. Ego would get a man killed as effectively as a blade, and the arrogance that permeated these refugees held some of the blame for the rampant plague that was running through the rank and fold.

Archivist Iskrates was working on a way to reverse the taint, or so he'd claimed. Alucard's father was apparently capable of doing this, but the dhampir had never seen it first hand. Like so many things, it was one of the secrets that the vampires hoarded among themselves, and Alucard was a product of this promise.

Red eyes fixated on the warrior who appeared to be poking at a piece of blighted meat, as if he were considering what to make of it. "You should throw that away." Alucard's voice ran along the old stones of the Keep as he tried to make out any signs of taint present on the other. "Or better yet, burn it."

PROMPT LIST FOR ALTERNATE WHUMPTOBER (W/ @lilac-gold)

Here's the full prompt list/summaries for our Omori collab Whumptober. All alternate universes, all alternate prompts. AI-LESS Whumptober prompts used. 

Link to fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/50461192/chapters/127494370

DAY: PROMPT - CHARACTER(S) (AU) - AUTHOR

SUMMARY

Day 1: Bloody Knuckles - Kim (Spider-Man) - RED

Kim messes up her knuckles beating up villains. Kel and Aubrey help patch her up and they have a chat about how Kim’s coping with the death of her brother, whether Kim wants that or not.

Day 2: Gunshot Wound - Kel (Gotham) - RED

Kel isn’t sure what to think of Gotham; it’s confusing, and dark, and people don’t follow the rules. It gets much scarier when he’s separated from his friends while bleeding out. Why does he get the feeling becoming Toast is a much bigger deal here than it is back home?

Day 3: Separated From Loved Ones - Hero (Ticking of the Clock) - RED

Hero can’t understand why anyone would kill themselves, but stuck in the second he found Mari’s body, he has a lot of time to think about it. He’s always been broken, maybe it’s his fault for not understanding.

Day 4: Drowning - Rococo (Summer Camp) - LILAC

Rococo can’t swim. Unfortunately for him, there’s a lake in Camp Headspace, and he’s just been pushed into it.

Day 5: Blackmail - Basil (Lawyers) - LILAC

Basil had never expected so much of his personal life to be involved in this case. Much to his dismay, however, Jawsum seems determined to involve even more.

Day 6: Crying To Sleep - Mari (Pirates) - LILAC

Mari’s the captain of her ship. The crew look up to her, she can’t afford to show any weakness.

Day 7: Disowned By Family - Kel, Aubrey, Hero, Basil (Prison) - RED

Hero and Kel receive a letter from their parents after they’re convicted. Aubrey and Basil don’t. They all get the message loud and clear.

Day 8: Electrocution - Sweetheart (Mythology) - LILAC

Sweetheart has never been the easiest goddess to get on with. It comes as a surprise to no-one when she ticks off the wrong group of sisters.

Day 9: Forced Feeding - The Maverick (Victorian) - RED

Mikhael hates how strict his family is. He doesn’t fit in the way Daphne and Bowen do, and burns with the desire to be his own person. In an act of rebellion, he refuses to eat his dinner. His parents don’t take that very well. 

Day 10: Bullied - Rococo (Magical Girls) - LILAC

Rococo’s never been well-liked, especially not at Closeby. When the bullying gets worse, Sweetheart notices, and pulls him out.

Day 11: Suffocation - Mutantheart (Space) - LILAC

Mutantheart is enjoying traversing the stars with her sisters. That is, until she gets a much closer look at them than she ever wanted.

Day 12: Abandoned - Basil (Found Footage) - RED

Basil’s friends try to reconnect with him after Hero is found. It’s already far too late for that. He’s more determined than ever to find the last pieces of the only person who never abandoned him.

Day 13: Grief - Aubrey (Reincarnation / Magical School) - LILAC

It's days like these when Aubrey misses her old life the most. It wasn't perfect, not by a long shot, but at least things still felt normal.

Day 14: Human Shield - Daphne, Bowen (Superheros Lilac) - LILAC

Sweetheart knows how much Daphne means to Bowen. And, well, Daphne's hardly going to oppose her if she decides to use that to her advantage.

Day 15: Self Defence - The Maverick (Fashion & Models) - RED

The Maverick’s many fashion related controversies have gained him many enemies. One such enemy attacks him while alone. He (somehow) manages to fend the attacker off and gets a very tiny new fan.

Day 16: Lab Rat - The Maverick (Octonauts) - LILAC

The Maverick is the weak link of their team, everyone says so. He doesn't know why he's so surprised when he gets targeted as such.

Day 17: Memory Loss - Sunny (Assassins) - LILAC

Sunny is a weapon, a tool to be aimed at enemies. And to those who control him, Basil is very much not welcome.

Day 18: Misunderstanding - Mori (Our Omori) - RED

Mori just wanted to be left alone. He’d never liked Kel, the boy was just so loud and touchy. He just wanted some space from him. A botched attempt to convey that leaves him at risk of ruining everything.

Day 19: Hypnosis - Spaceboy (Nothing is Happening) - RED

Spaceboy wants nothing more than to get home to his husband. A chance encounter in the Cold Pool Dimension™ changes that. After all, how could he miss a home that doesn’t exist?

Day 20: Mutilation - Hero (DHMIS) - LILAC

Mari is upset with her friends. They need to learn how to be better, and as the eldest, she expects Hero to set an example.

Day 21: Mouth Stitched Shut - Basil (Angels) - RED

Basil is cavorting with the demons (Blackspace) and gets his mouth sewn shut for it. However, there's one problem– he was not, in fact, cavorting with demons. 

Day 22: Nerve Damage - Kel (Teachers) - LILAC

During a friendly game of basketball with some old schoolmates, Kel injures himself. Afterwards, he tries to continue teaching before it's healed.

Day 23: Nervous Breakdown - Sunny (Sunny Hates Hero) - RED

Basil is the final straw. After three days of hearing nothing but praise for the embodiment of everything that killed Mari. His best friend siding with that monster over him is just too much. Sunny snaps.

Day 24: Words Carved Into Skin - Aubrey (Boss Parents) - LILAC

Aubrey's finally got a chance to leave Humphrey, and she's overjoyed. The Slime Girls, on the other hand, are far less pleased.

Day 25: Stalked - Hero, Kel, Aubrey (Not Friends) - RED

Basil and Sunny have been stalking Hero, Kel, Aubrey for years. Kim finally has enough evidence to prove it to them. She wishes she could feel vindicated now that she has proof that she was right about them being creeps, but all she feels is sick.

Day 26: Non-Consensual Touching - Hero (Curses & Blessings) - RED

Hero is blessed, he’s everything everyone needs. Universally loved. He has an obligation to please those around him because of that. Who cares if they’re a little handsy? As long as he’s making them happy it’s all worth it.

Day 27: Paranoia - Hero (A Series of Unfortunate Events) - LILAC

Even at Spaceboy's, Hero cannot sleep. Illogical as he knows it is, he can't seem to shake the feeling that Sweetheart could show up again at any second.

Day 28: Peer Pressure - Spaceboy (Mermaids) - LILAC

Spaceboy isn't particularly popular, despite his father's high-ranking position. Needless to say, it's rather surprising when the Princess herself approaches him with a request.

Day 29: Prison - Hero (Superheros Red) - RED

Hero gets ousted as the leader of the biggest Villain group in town, Siren. Jawsum is furious and betrayed. He decides that Hero can make up for his betrayal. After all, a pretty Siren who can get everyone addicted to its song is a living money maker. He already has the cage ready.

Day 30: Silent Treatment - Rococo (Royalty) - RED

Sweetheart wasn’t talking to him in an attempt to prove that she’s serious about her latest boy, who is staunchly, if very politely, refusing her affection. Rococo suffers through humiliation and strife, as he once again puts up with her irresponsible actions.

Day 31: Truth Serum - Kel (Magical Apprentices) - LILAC

The Unbread Twins really, really need a break from mentoring this child. Kel just wishes they'd chosen a babysitter who wasn't a group of evil scientists.

Inside The Boardroom: How Kevin Durant made himself into a mogul

The story of When Kevin Met Rich began at a Jay-Z concert back in 2008. Kleiman was representing the rapper Wale. Wale knew Durant because they both were from the DC area. Before the show, Jay-Z’s manager invited Durant backstage to meet HOV himself. In a moment of 19-year-old self-doubt, Durant balked. A bad case of impostor syndrome set in.

Cinematic Glamour at ZOFF and Mikhael Kale’s Streetwear Cowboys Ruled Day One of Toronto Fashion Week

Is it really that time of year again? Toronto Fashion Week has once again returned to inject the city with a dose of much-needed glamour. For a precious few days each year, all eyes in the city are firmly planted on the fashion industry, which frankly doesn’t happen enough. Yet just thinking about the week makes me tired; It’s preemptive exhaustion at the mere thought of the late nights and nonstop hobnobbing to come – but luckily there’s a whole cream of fresh talent that makes it worthwhile.

Day one kicked off with a throwback to Old Hollywood thanks to the double-bill showing of ZOFF/Alan Anderson at the Hazelton Hotel. (The hotel’s event room was transformed into a flowery showcase where everyone sat front row.) Designer Michael Zoffranieri, who graduated from Ryerson University’s fashion design program in 2016, teamed up with seasoned bauble make Alan Anderson to present a collection that was wholly considered in its commitment to glamour. Models of all shapes and sizes (a phrase that I frankly shudder to type, but until diversity on the runways becomes industry standard, it still bears mentioning) paraded down the runway in sparkly, gala-ready gowns complemented by Anderson’s chandelier necklaces and doorknocker earrings. A particularly spirited older model, Judith Maria Bradley twirled down the runway in a silky green cape bedecked with  a pirouetting princess. The sensibilities of the two designers fused to produce a highly-effective, knockout collection. “I think we’re ready to bring more magic to Toronto,” said Zoffranieri in an interview backstage. “And less black!,” Anderson added. “You go to every function in this city and no one wears colour! It’s like, you know what? Be an individual, stand out!”

After a significant break in the schedule, Wuxly Movement, an upstart parka brand created by former CFL football James Yarichuk after he couldn’t find a down-free park enough warm enough for his Brazilian girlfriend to wear, delivered a hilarious and good-natured spectacle. Professional figure skaters, including 2018 Olympic gold medalist Gabby Dale, engaged in an icy showdown clad in the brand’s boxy parkas in a competition that was judged in part by FASHION’s editor-in-chief, Noreen Flanagan. “They said ‘put on a static presentation.’ I don’t do static. I’m an athlete, I’m always moving,” Yarichuk said of his decision to upend up the fashion show format.

Stalwart designer David Dixon’s show was held in the Arcadian Court of the Royal Ontario Museum, a standout venue that felt a bit like attending a show in Canada’s version of the Grand Palais. Dixon has begun to use his label as a platform charitable cause célèbres in recent years, and this season he chose to shine a light on osteoporosis. (“Fashion is a good conduit to communicating ideas to an audience,” Dixon said in a brief video that preceded the show.) By incorporating none other than bubble wrap, a “universal symbol of protection,” he was able to produce an unexpectedly elegant, haunting collection. The standout piece of the collection was a white dress artfully slashed at the back to resemble the bones of a ribcage.

The final show of the evening, Mikhael Kale took place in what my friend quipped was “every woman’s dream” – an underground parking lot at 10pm at night. Despite the sketchy environs the show was a blast. Kale’s singular vision is always a treat and this season he delivered streetwear cowbows with a Victorian twist – a combination that sounds bizarre but somehow worked. Latex turtlenecks were styled underneath boned corsets paired with cowboy boots. (Though I certainly had…questions about the designer’s decision to bedeck white models in cornrowed hairdos.)

Now it’s time to gear up for day two.

Professional figure skaters, including 2018 Olympic gold medalist Gabby Dale, engaged in an icy showdown clad in the brand’s boxy parkas in a competition that was judged in part by FASHION’s editor-in-chief, Noreen Flanagan. “They said ‘put on a static presentation.’ I don’t do static. I’m an athlete, I’m always moving,” Yarichuk said of his decision to upend up the fashion show format.

Stalwart designer David Dixon’s show was held in the Arcadian Court of the Royal Ontario Museum, a standout venue that felt a bit like attending a show in Canada’s version of the Grand Palais. Dixon has begun to use his label as a platform charitable cause célèbres in recent years, and this season he chose to shine a light on osteoporosis. (“Fashion is a good conduit to communicating ideas to an audience,” Dixon said in a brief video that preceded the show.) By incorporating none other than bubble wrap, a “universal symbol of protection,” he was able to produce an unexpectedly elegant, haunting collection. The standout piece of the collection was a white dress artfully slashed at the back to resemble the bones of a ribcage.

The final show of the evening, Mikhael Kale took place in what my friend quipped was “every woman’s dream” – an underground parking lot at 10pm at night. Despite the sketchy environs the show was a blast. Kale’s singular vision is always a treat and this season he delivered streetwear cowbows with a Victorian twist – a combination that sounds bizarre but somehow worked. Latex turtlenecks were styled underneath boned corsets paired with cowboy boots. (The only questionable element were the white models in cornrowed hairdos.) Kale’s point of view is fresh, combative and exactly what Canadian fashion needs.

Now it’s time to gear up for day two.
