#and wont fight for it otherwise

[a-dauntless-daffodil]

*grabs the Vanguard Vaggie idea and scuttles back under her goblin rug*

OKAY BUT

Imagine, like after they retreat back to heaven, the other exorcists...start talking. They start talking *behind Lute's back*.

At first it's pain and bitterness and betrayal at Vaggie fighting them. 'How could she do this? How could she hurt us?!'

Then, maybe during some hit and run nonsense that Lute has them doing, the conversation shifts. They start noticing that Vaggie doesnt go for the kill unless she has to. Doesn't maim. She always gives them the chance to run, to go home... And they start talking. They talk about those better times with the Vanguard. They wonder aloud why she fights for hell. And maybe, just maybe, they talk about how they miss her. They miss Vaggie. They miss having that feeling of her looking out for them.

I wonder how long it might take for one of them to linger. To lower their weapon. To take off their mask.

Even then, it takes a long time for the first exorcist to *stay* after they should have retreated. For them to ask for a place to stay. But as more and more start to come to Vaggie, to the *Vanguard*, and ask for a home...charlie cant help but be grinning as she holds Vaggie's hand.

ayyyyeeeeeee!!!!

what if there was that slooooow realization that when Vaggie was around, their vanguard, they all felt more like a team together. she liked things done Right and done Well- wasn't bothered with competing- took training and exterminations Seriously- kept them all sharp sure but also turned something that was just Adam's shits and giggles, just a GAME, into a purpose and a duty again. something to be proud of and do their BEST at (while still having fun)

so yeah when Adam and Lute come back with her halo saying she's sided with hell, betrayed them all, damned herself and gets to rot there with them- there's that anger. oh they HATE her for doing that-

because they miss her

and things were better, they all felt better, when she'd been around, and that's gone now and it's her fault

or adam and lute say so anyway

can you IMAGINE in this au, the shift when Lute 1v1s Vaggie... and doesn't come back to heaven with her head?? DOESN't beat her? and Adam's DEAD?

and so are so many of them actually- dead exorcists that vaggie helped kill, that vaggie helped fight off

why?

three years her being in hell and she'd never fought any of them or hurt any of her sisters when they came flying down- (and she COULD have) (used to be one of the BEST after all) it's only when they're sent after her HOME that she fights, almost as if-

as if killing isn't what she wants to do anymore, if she can help it

thats. not the same as turning against them. not the same as her siding with hell- even so lute and adam still wanted her dead, and even then, she'd let lute LIVE...

is that weakness and betrayal?

but she's not weak, if lute couldn't kill her. and she never killed any of them until they came after her. is that still betrayal?

or is it something else

is there anything kind of betrayal here. are they on the wrong side of it...

im not sure, if any of them would take off a mask willingly- risk hell-

i KNOW that even ONE moment of hesitation would get lute turning on them, just like she did with vaggie- worse maybe, now very aware of the danger of letting fallen angels live- HER mistake, not killing vaggie when she had the chance all those years ago

and if a wounded and abandoned exorcist staggered to the gate's of the hazbin hotel? if some of her other sisters went looking for her- KNOWING this time what the supposed 'betrayal' and 'sin' had been?

(a moment of hesitation)

(before one of them drops her weapon to knock on the hotel door)

yeah. they'd find charlie running to help them inside. probably already pulling out bandages- a demon with first aid gear in her pockets, always carried just in case, nothing like they were expecting-

they'd find their Vangaurd waiting there too, having gone ahead and made things safe for them to follow, just like always

that'd be pretty sweet

#hazbin hotel #vaggie #exorcist angels hazbin hotel #vangaurd vaggie au idea thingy #. #my eyes are crossing im half asleep and thiss has hurt #thank uuuuuu #yeeeee #wouldn't it be funny #if he exorcists turned into the GUARDIANS of hell #not #not because they like hell #but vaggie made them feel like they were doing ssomething important- keeping heaven safe- protecting angels- #not just #having fun serving up torment and death to sinners #and #if a sinner can become an angel #then #where does an exorcist owe their loyalty ? #the ones tellign them to kill souls that could be under their protection someday- #or the one who wants it to stop #who wants heaven to be what it was supposed to be #and wont fight for it otherwise #hmmm #heh #if sera tries getting ride of them all as a PR move #sends them to hell and doesn't open up a way back- get lute away- the last shameful reminder of her deal with adam gone #where would the exorcists go? #now that hell KNOWS they can be killed- where could they go to find safety? #hmmmmmmm

This gave me the best angst idea ever.

So what if people who died painfully and became ghosts would carry with them a palm sized emblem that showed how they died and give the same feelings of whatever caused them death for however long it took in a blink of an eye with its trauma when it's touched.

And the only reason they have that is to tell older ghosts and only the living touched by death that this is a TRAUMATISED newborn/ baby.

Practically, it's telling the surrounding ghost to play nicely and to let the baby win. Because see how they died? Oh you don't think that was painful? Will how about you come and touch it then? Go on, see how that is not painful at all.

Aka don't be a dick to the baby ghost

And older ghosts aren't allowed to tell them why they have it not because of an oath but to make sure that the baby gets better at ghost communicating, ghost emotional bonds, and stronger abilities while making it their idea to keep them getting better.

Because ghosts specifically children ( or teenagers) will not do something with enough care unless it's their idea. And will just say that it shows how you died and that it disappears after getting somewhat comfortable with the fact that you died ( when you become comfortable as a ghost/ become old enough to take care of yourself while dealing with other old ghosts but they won't say that)

Enter Danny going on a month school field trip/ family trip/ vacation by himself visiting a measum with Wonder Woman feeling a shit ton of death energy and "innocently" asking what this emblem is cause she never seen something like this before.

Danny just says that his friend is interested in occult and goth things (true, Sam) bought it (not true, but the thing attaches itself to what ever he's currently wearing so Sam took the fall for the team) because the seller said that it shows the wearer what they will die from (half truth) but for some reason it worked with only him and attached itself to him. And that they could not find the seller to ask them about it.

He says that death by a five lightning bolts doesn't sound too bad in jest.

Daina believes him and wonders what happened to the occultist that just had an item of future death telling and why it only worked with him.

She asks to inspect it.

Daina Prince a being who is touched by death/ related to death itself.

Wonder Woman, who can handle getting thrown through 12 building and stand up like it's nothing.

The amazon warrior, who repeatedly fought powerful entities that almost destroyed the entire universe and came out victorious.

...

Daina, the strong amazon warrior, experiences what it feels like to be a human, a small human child filled with so much curiosity and so much hope for the future, getting electrocuted for forty five minutes.

(And being ripped apart molecule by molecule and put together into something new but they focus more on the pain that will be given to a small teenager.)

Danny blinks, holds her steady and asks if she's okay?

She says she's fine, just didn't take her medicine. (Daina doesn't take medication, Daina doesn'tget sick, Daina doesn't get sick Diana doesnt get sick Dianadoesn'tgetsickDianad)

Danny tells a joke to make her feel better, brings her water to help her and asks if he should bring her anything while holding her hair up.

Daina vomits in the trashcan but tells him it's just the consequences of not taking her medication and thanks him.

Danny stays with her, comforting her,distracting her by talking about the beautiful constellation in the night sky, telling her that she'll be okay and help is on the way until her coworkers come with a mid kit.

Daina thanks him.

Danny wishes her health and safety with his large hopeful eyes and leaves.

Danny forgets about the interaction.

Daina did not.

#'the traveler is his favourite npc' childe literally has so much capacity for care and love ARLECCHINO has noticed how unfit he is to be a #harbinger. he loves his family and he loves a worthy fight and he loves the traveler. whether platonic or otherwise #you dont leave the manifestation of your ambition with someone you dont trust with your life. because thats essentially what he puts into+ #her hands. his drive and who he is as a man #AND HIS VOICELINES LITERALLY SAY HE PLACES ENOUGH TRUST IN HER TO KNOW SHE WONT STAB HIM IN THE BACK #like. like???? youre doing a disservice to him to see him as so far removed from the one relationship he puts his own faith in #he Definitely doesnt trust the harbingers to not backstab him #lumine #tartaglia #genshin #txt

its impossible to find an anime that will cater to my very specific needs

#i wanna get into something new so bad but i need something with good characters that also have good dynamics and ✨trauma✨ #(bc otherwise i wont be able to find any h/c fics from it and i live off those) #but slice of life shows are boring so it's gotta be something with a bit of action but if it's a battle shounen or something adjacent then #theres Too Much fighting #and found family is a must #just. augh. #stuck in anime purgatory bc whenever i try to google shows i just get a bunch of shounen thrown at me and i do not want basic shounen

maxed all affinities, requests and social links, defeated margaret (don't ask how many times that took.), and got the true ending of persona 4 including that sexy timeskip where you meet all the besties again 💆‍♀️ loooove that for me

#my 200+ hours playtime slay #ok but the fight with margaret was so crazy 😭 after failing like 4 times i looked what personas id be needing and after spending so much #money on the compedium and fusing personas i finally got my babygirl yoshitsune where would i be without you..... #and THEN i made it my mission to kill the reaper to get weapons for the besties and the best armor i could give them #even after that i first did the battle in very easy i was that desperate to win but after winning without margaret not even using #the megidolaon attack that fucks you over i did another save to win fr in normal mode and i did it ❤ i couldnt have lived with myself #otherwise 🙏 #anyways i already said this before but i loved it sm. also funnily enough the only persona game i have finished even though it shouldnt be #long until i finish p5 considering i only gotta send shidos calling card #(never finished p3 because of oct 4th lol. but im planning on going past it too) #(also as an aside i loooooved how it was a sequel to p3 soooo much a lot more obvious after the margaret fight and with all the tanaka #mentions. like you can play at least the last 3 persona games separately but theres no connection like this with 5 so i wuv the details) #and i liked it a lot more the second time around too when i already loved it on my first playthrough #i dont think ill go back to it soon but i still gotta tackle the other games in the persona series so. it wont be over anytime soon 👍👍👍👍 #my post

Sometimes I (a pretty average Tumblr user that doodles in class, often sings when the mood strikes, has whimsical interests, has recently discovered 50s fashion, is very cheerful but with a Tragic Backstory, and is also a Girl Gamer ™️) hear myself talk to the boys in my computer science major, and I get this out of body experience of perceiving myself through the eyes of these (very nice) guys who don't encounter a lot of girls and often don't have much going on in their lives, and I just feel myself turning into a manix pixie dream girl.

#no matter how much i try to fight it #like im not gonna say im not a gamer whem it comes up #but the looks that gets me #my saving grace is that im very tall so cute is not exactly how people would describe me #no one would take me seriously otherwise #its already a struggle to be one of the 3/100 girls in the class #ive turned to putting overt rainbow stickers on my laptop #but tbh if theyre as oblivious as i am they wont notice #im not into guys #is the point #but somehow i cant exist without anything i say sounding flirty to nerds #manic pixie dream girl #nerds #computer science #they dont see me when i spend half of the week laying in bed reading fanfiction because i used up all my social and math energy #gotta love long covid

the way i literally still havent decided if lupe/carson represents pride or prejudice bc they really BOTH do and ik thats the way in the book but ppl still agree liz is prej and darcy is pride......

#loik i was goinna use it for a gif but i still dk #i literally swap round each time #the quality of having a high opinion of ones importance. like. they both do in an untrue way. #they both dont believe in themselves but believe in themselves too much bc they Have to #and lupe is too proud to admit defeat otherwise she wont be important #but carson is never really prejudice towards lupe in the way she doesnt have her own preconception of her like she WANTS to be friends w her #and even looks out for her (regrding her arm and defending her to dove at his car) #but does she just assume shes up doves ass bc thts what she was told #is that her prejudice #making that assumption without getting to know her and ask her about it #and lupe doesnt want to hate carson either but her preconcieved notion is that shes excluding her and hates her bc white married woman #when thats not the case at all she wanted her to come to practises !! #and thats her prejudice by having an idea of carson based on assumptions #but would i say carson is prideful ?? she is at times as she takes on the coach role but her role is important in helping the team #idk if it rly gets in her head to that extent #shes too proud to admit lupe may be a better coach than her #which causes her to stop lupe from contributing and makes them lose the game and fist fight

[clowningaroundmars]

anyone else scared to death of the REAL obvious signs of control the younger generations are exhibiting lately

like im watching all these yt video essays on microblading, "looksmaxing", anti-aging routines, "signs that your partner is micro-cheating", teens and young adults' obsession with categorizing everything and turning everything into an aesthetic/trend (wtf was up with those "blueberry milk nails" like???), the existence of PURITEENS... i mean like

im not saying younger teens are developing OCD or anything but jfc this is all snowballing into scary symptoms lately. how tf are 14 year olds on tiktok doing a 19-step skincare routine "to prevent wrinkles"? YOU ARE FOURTEEN

#mine #i weep for this newer generation #i know that every generation has their own traumas #and that not every single human being in one 'generation' is just like their peers #but im.... very worried that we're gonna have a repeat of the last century in the exact same structure #20's-30's is a great time for queer and minority culture #lots of advancements flourishing #then boom idk WAR maybe #and thats lookin more and more like the case every single day #maybe the US wont go to war per se but this country will most certainly cause another one in our lifetimes #and then all of a sudden culturally we regress back to puritan values and restrictions just like the 50's #im JUST SAYIN #boomers are the way they are bc the silent generation buttoned themselves up too tightly #and now look where we are #i know teens nowadays are horribly depressed and its not for no reason #but yall have GOT to fight to create a better future for your kids and other ppls kids #otherwise we'll see racism and sexism of likes we've never seen before #kids are ALREADY getting into phrenology with this looksmaxing and skincare bs #and throwing spiritualism into the mix with 'angel vs witch faces' def doesnt help either #kids..... learn your history #do NOT fall into fascist rabbitholes #ffs #AND THERES NO SUCH THINGS AS THOUGHT CRIMES DAMNIT
