call me a heretic but i really want to make an AU where artificer reconciles with the scavengers.

i mean.., they're a bunch of chaotic, impulsive, scrappy junkyard beasts who love explosions their AI code is written to distinguish between five different types of violence. arti was made for that kind of bullshit. in different circumstances, she'd get along great with them. she probably DID get along great with them before The Incident. she would fit in with them so well if she could just let go of her bigotry.

i just.. really wanna see that happen.

i wanna see her post-game, angry and alone, not understanding why she still feels so hollow. i want to see her isolating herself in metropolis for dozens of cycles, massacring the same scavs over and over, until she eventually starts recognizing them. i want her to gradually start noticing their individual differences. i want her to start wondering what their names are. i want her to start feeling a little bit ashamed whenever she recognizes someone she has killed.

i want to see her stumble across a baby scav one day and want to kill it, but be unable to bring herself to do so. i want her to begrudgingly realize that her maternal instinct is stronger than her hate.

i wanna see her subconsciously start showing mercy to the passive scavs who just want to be left alone, and start exclusively hunting down the crazy trigger-happy ones who fight to the death for shits and giggles. and i want it to gradually start being fun for her, too. i wanna see her participate in casual death matches for sport rather than vengeance. i want the other warriors to gradually warm up to her and invite her to play insane variations of chicken with them. i want her to be bewildered by the realization that she has somehow acquired friends.

i want to see her come to truly, deeply regret her reign of terror. i want to see her grapple with the fact that many of her victims will never forgive her. i want to see her learn to cope and eventually start to forgive herself.

i want to see her reach a place where she's finally able to properly mourn for her pups. i want her friends to show her how to conduct a scav funeral. i want to see her set off ritual explosions and paint memorial glyphs on the walls and string up a pair of blue and green pearls on an altar.

i want to see her fully integrated into scav culture and happy about it i want her to find her best ending in the last place she would've ever thought to look

... is this anything?

Die drei fragezeichen aber aus irgend einem Grund sind alle Erwachsenen jetzt Lehrer der Jungs (warum? keine Ahnung)

Cotta: Physik und Mathe, wird von Goodween wegen seiner Fächerwahl gemobbt, constantly müde, braucht 3 Wochen um Schularbeiten zu verbessern, verheiratet mit seiner Kaffeetasse, lässt die Kinder wierde Experimente in Physik machen die definitiv nicht erlaubt sind, trotzdem verhasst weil Mathe, hat die ganze Zeit beef mit justus

Goodween: It's giving Geschichte und Sport, definitiv der Lehrer in dessen raum man die Mittagspause verbringt, irgendwie vertrauenslehrer oder so kommt eh keiner zu ihm weil keinem bewusst ist das so etwas exestiert, lebt in Jeans Und hoodies, Schüler shippen in und Cotta hart, schaut im Geschichte Unterricht immer YouTube Zusammenfassungen, Lieblingslehrer von 50% der Schüler, (Schüler debattieren noch ob er wirklich sein Studium abgeschlossen hat)

Morton: Englisch 100%, würde ihm auch Latein zu trauen, gibt lowkey zu viele Hausaufgaben, 24/7 Tasse Tee in der Hand, hat noch nie jemand ohne Hemd gesehen, nicht ganz sicher ob er aushalb der Schule noch ein Leben hat,

Hugenay: Französisch und ✨Bildnerische Erziehung ✨, macht dich in französisch fertig wenn du Wörter falsch aussprichst, gossipt im kunstunterricht mit den Schülern über seine Kollegen, ✨klassische Musik✨ zum konzentrieren, vielleicht gesuchter Verbrecher? (die Gerüchte sind wild), beef mit Cotta, raucht mit den älteren Schülern hinterm Schulgebäude

Hey I like your style, would you ever draw this chat of mine?

https://www.tumblr.com/yoshimickster/172019176472/a-conversation-that-shouldve-god-damned-happened?source=share

I’m back! And with this very nice request here.

I haven’t been too much on the Ninjago fandom in a while, but i do like the change of dialogue. That episode did bother me when i first saw it, so this was a nice idea with a new optional ending.

I also tried this minimal shading technique since im not used with making comics and shading my normal art pieces take hours, but im rather happy with how it turned out. I wanted to make a background but i know I’d get carried away and it’d just add another week or so until this would’ve been done.

I did however add tiny details here there. But i do apologise if i forgot any mayor details of any kind. But i do hope you like it regardless.

#Ninjago #ninjago cole #ninjago kai #ninjago lloyd #ninjago zane #ninjago wu #ninjago garmadon #art #fanart #digital art #ninjago fan comic #Comic #help I’ve never made a comic with this program before-#I am aware i forgot Wu’s little thingy on his chest but when i finished this i was on the verge of falling asleep #Does this count as an au?#I guess since it would technically be an alternative timeline #Idk i dont think its my place to say

Sooo, as has been evident from me rambling so often about it, I’ve been reading a lot of Genshin fics lately (specifically Sumeru centered ones), and it is so funny to see how headcanons and AUs change between the releases of the characters.

Ofc, this sticks out to me especially with Haikaveh cos Kaveh got released so late for showing up so early and ppl ran far with their ideas. One of the biggest theories was (and I think still kinda is) is that Alhaitham is or at least is linked to the Scarlet King bcs his eyes have the same shape as the eye portrayed in the Forbidden Knowledge cutscene.

After the quests came out where you find out about King Deshret’s and the Goddess of Flowers’ relationship, ofc ppl started to push Alhaitham and Kaveh in the respective roles, which, ngl, I totally vibe with. Even more so cos I can only image the Goddess of Flowers with Nilou’s kinda personality (since her outfit is supposed to look like the Goddess) and the thought of her reincarnation still being good hearted beyond believe, yet also a fucking idiot with anger issues is so fucking funny.

However, the theory I personally even more subscribe to, is that both Alhaitham and Kaveh, at least in an design aspect, represent the Scarlet King. I cannot by God find the one vid that talked about it, but they laid out a lot of design specifics that rly did make sense. This ofc, made me think a lot about it too.

Alhaitham could represent King Deshret’s mind and rational side, the part of him that made him a genius and good leader. As much as Alhaitham acts as if he sucks as a leader, which from a personality standpoint might be true, his abilities and critical mind say otherwise. Alhaitham is strategic and very wise for his age, but also curious and ambitious about the knowledge he seeks. He is not without fault either, as, despite him saying he acts only out of self interest, he still does act very arrogantly and above others.

Kaveh on the other hand shows King Deshret’s soul. Clever and curious in his own right, Kaveh seeks out knowledge not only to learn and understand but because his emotions drive him to reach for it. Kaveh has a bleeding heart and follows its voice more often than his mind’s, yet that makes him empathetic to people and care about them, which we know the Scarlet King was known for as well (caring for his people, that is). His emotions and self-sacrificial nature are his crux as well, though, and lead him close to his own downfall time and time again, much as it happened with King Deshret.

Both Alhaitham and Kaveh make up the body. As is evident how haywire the theories went when the Forbidden Knowledge quest came out, Alhaitham’s eyes bear a strong physical resemblance to Deshret’s supposed eyes. Not to mention, we know Deshret is often described as powerful, so I wouldn't be surprised if Alhaitham’s body build is part of that too. For Kaveh, in that one video I mentioned they said that Kaveh’s attire seems to represent some sort of royalty. Also, in a world quest, though I don’t remember which one (i think either aranara or djini) the NPC you travel with says the traveler reminds them of King Deshret, especially the golden hair, which ofc also works for Kaveh.

(Mind you, I havent dived that deeply into Deshret lore and I did zone out during the world quests often, so pls do correct me if I say sth stupid.)

So yeah, the two sides of the same coin. We already know these two have been designed as perfect mirrors to each other, in their ideologies, personalities all the way to their colour schemes, but with regarding the headcanon they’re both aspects of the Scarlet King, it’s also an interesting analogy to think it’s Deshret’s different sides clashing with each other.

Yes, yes they’re basically the Left Brain Right Brain meme for King Deshret.

Also, as I’ve said, I’ve read my fair share of fics with the Scarlet King reincarnation, which is usually Alhaitham. I am honestly too lazy to write a whole ass fic about it, but you can bet your ass my mind has conjured up enough stuff to fill a few pages. To finally get it outta my head tho, I will just ramble here instead.

I personally don’t think that Alhaitham and Kaveh are reincarnations of Deshret, even though it’d make sense why his body and mind would be two separate entities, as he split himself to avoid spreading more Forbidden Knowledge. I see it more as the two being “blessed” with parts of his soul or something.

Ngl, the whole thing came to me during the one World Quest where you clear up the sandstorm above King Deshret’s Mausoleum and you get to this big platform on top. I dunno, it just looked so cool and it made me think of how this could have been a ritual site or something. So, perfect place for some foreign memories to invade your brain, no?

Also, you cannot tell me the Akademiya wasn’t frothing at the mouth when the Mausoleum finally became accessible. I’d assume they’d send research teams up there after the Traveler cleared the place, and it would seem logical for both Alhaitham and Kaveh to be interested in the place, their respective curiosities spurred by the fragment of Deshret inside them.

They and a small group of scholars take it upon themselves to scope the place out, and eventually end up at the top of the pyramid. Kaveh would marvel at such a grand stage so high up in the air, being able to see into the far reaches of the desert. But he also feels trepidation in his soul, though he brushes it off.

Alhaitham and him conduct their respective researches, Alhaitham jutting down any interesting runes and scripts he finds on the podium, while Kaveh sketches the many columns and the scenery behind, his mind running wild trying to understand how such impossible structures hold. But as he stands at the edge, looking out upon the empty desert with its many ruins, a thought pops into his head.

The desert should not be dead like this.

It’s then that Kaveh feels something shift inside him. Sensations rush over him, the sun beating down on him so differently than just moments ago, the air smelling not of sand and dust but of spices and flowers, the stillness of the desert filled with the distant rush of a city well lived in and people calling him yet not shouting his name.

Kaveh stumbles back to the middle of the podium, only for Alhaitham to meet him halfway. They stare at each other with wide eyes, stare at the other but seeing reflections of themselves. Kaveh bores into Alhaitham’s intense gaze, seeing the many questions and the fierce determination to solve each and everyone of them reflect in those piercing pupils of his, and thinks:

Only a gaze as steeled as mine is fit for a king.

Alhaitham roams his eyes over Kaveh, over his golden hair reflecting the sun, making it almost blinding to look at, over proud shoulders, pushed back to straighten his stance, over calloused hands, twitching in the need to create, and thinks:

Only a presence as loud and vibrant as mine can win over my people.

The spell is broken as fast as it had come when one of the scholars of their group asks for their assistance. Kaveh and Alhaitham busy themselves with helping out the rest of the research group for the remainder of the stay to not let those intrusive thoughts resurface and really just hope that it was some weird hallucination caused by the heat or dehydration or something.

Lucky them, it wasn’t.

And really, all this fancy dressing in the form of a story just to come to the one headcanon stuck in my head: If both Alhaitham and Kaveh are the Scarlet King, and they were to inherit his memories, I believe they’d experience them differently.

Alhaitham would have tangible memories, thoughts that’d pop into his head unbridled. He’d see the tension between Desert folk and the people of the forest and think “This is not what we fought for.”. He’d run across Cyno, discuss matters of the Akademiya with him and think “As competent and loyal as ever, just as is to be expected of my General.”. He’d meet with Nahida and think “No matter the shape she takes, her wisdom remains the same.”.

Kaveh on the other hand would experience the memories with sensations. He’d witness a fight between the matra and Emerites and be transported to a battlefield, as countless shouts and clanking metal were heard while the unmistakable taste of blood sat heavy on his tongue. He’d look at scholars disassembling a Primal Construct and his hands would itch for his tools while his heart sped up in excitement, even if Kaveh knew his knowledge of such machines was limited. He’d watch Nilou dance in the Grand Bazar and almost buckle under the mix of elation, yearning and unfathomable grief that overtook him.

(it would also be funny the other way around, as in, experience the memories with the parts “missing” from them. Though Kaveh, being the overthinker he is, would have an easier time cos his head is filled all the time with thoughts anyways. Alhaitham would have a real crisis though lmao)

At the end of the day they’d come home to each other, stand face to face and stare into a mirror of themselves, all the while the edges would start to blur and it’d become increasingly difficult to know where one of them started and the other ended.

I dunno where I’d even go with this story, in all honesty. I personally don’t like the kinda fics where King Deshret actually “awakens” and either takes over or integrates into the person he wakes up as. I think I’d push a story like this more into the territory of this experience making the two learn more about themselves and each other. As in, since they both “derive from” the same person, even if they’re steadfast in their own beliefs, they’re kinda forced to actually see from the other perspective as well. While this would probably lead to even more arguments, I believe it’d also manage to blunt their edges and while they still can’t agree with each other, they understand and therefore don’t always go on the defensive with counter points at the ready.

Tho, if both are considered King Deshret, would that count as self-cest.

Yippie! So silly (kinda sad) idea I had I while ago that I need to draw about again aaaa— Anyway, there were a lot details that had me thinking about stuff in certain games. Harmony of Despair has the “Helmont/Shiimon/Simon Wraith” enemies that have this ominous description of “some say this is what happened to Simon Belmont in the end”, and it’s just never mentioned again. Like damn ok that’s uh some interesting information wow uh— Also that coupled with the hanging skeletons being a reference to Simon in CV4 and also being in the hanged man position, the family heirlooms in the ghostly Dracula’s castle in Harmony of Dissonance, and the quest for Anna in Order of Ecclesia about helping her cat protect her from dark spirits that’s ended with a really sudden line about her having nightmares about a man with a whip fighting something scary, my guy is haunting the narrative and doesn’t sound like he’s doing so great 💀.

So the Ghost Simon concept was born and uh here he is I guess lol. Part of it also came from the idea that we’ve already seen a ghost companion in the series in Wind (if you know you know), but what if there was one you had to help that was a little more uh what’s the word… tormented? Vengeful? Upset in general? Yeah. He’s kinda just a mix of a bunch of different ghost lore, not one in particular. Fun fact: Dulahans sometimes use their own spines as a whip :3. And in a lot of folklore Strigoi often prey on their own family members, especially the younger girls in the family. But yeah, he’s just kind of a nuisance, not really like ‘evil’ or anything. Breaks things sometimes, generally pesters people, only occasionally a minor threat. Maybe leaves bloody footprints sometimes, turns paintings crooked, writes omens on walls, ya know, average ghost activities. I like to think that the boss rush with him in HoD is what he’s been doing for a while. Maybe Juste unknowingly takes him home with some of the furniture, probably the grandfather clock lol. Idk it’s just a fun what if idea for fun tho mostly d(^^ ).
