Time for some theory on the prequel!

What if the exorcism and the massacre happened the same night and this is one of the plot twists of the prequel?

I could be wrong, but I always found it strange that they angered the "demon" but he didn't attack them immediately. The soldiers hurt possessed Will, and a few hours later he sends them to die. And the exorcism happens the same night.

Also, Kate Trefry wrote both The Spy and The First Shadow. She was definitely thinking about the Creels when she wrote that episode

I think it's interesting that in S2 the massacre happens before the exorcism. Maybe this means that Henry was still himself before the exorcism, but then something changed?

Basically, Will was saved by the exorcism, but in 1959 the exorcism made everything worse.

Henry saying: 'She (Virginia) called a doctor, an expert' reminds me so much of The Exorcist.

Virginia calls a doctor, but we don't see him, but then Henry says that he was desperately trying to escape him. Martin Brenner. Maybe Henry is describing the "exorcism". But his and Victor's memories have been manipulated. Victor was found wandering on the side of the Highway, a parallel with one of the stories Terry investigated, so either they messed with their memories, or there's some time trickering going on, as a consequence of the exorcism.

Also, I'm not the only one who noticed that many things look staged. In his monologue Henry says that people perform in a silly play, day after day, some of the Nina shots look so staged that there's even the "curtain" falling and an opera song playing. And the prequel about Henry is literally a play where the characters will also perform in a play. In every season there are mentions of living in a bubble, dreams, fakers, and people ruining the game. So the fact that we saw the night of the massacre doesn't mean that that's what really happened.

In fact, Victor doesn't mention the exorcism, but he talks about the massacre, and when he says that he thought that the demon would take him too, we hear Alice's screams and the Demogorgon. But there isn't any creature in the flashbacks. Unless it's not an actual creature, but another type of monster. Dr Brenner. That would mean that he was there, more evidence that we didn't see what really happened.

Brenner is in the play, so we're finally gonna see what he did. We need some answer before S5!

Then there's the parallel with Hopper. The two cursed fathers in prison. Hopper hears the Demogorgon too, after he tells Enzo that the curse started when he was 18, (in 1959), and he mentions Uncle Sam. So this scene seems to imply that Sam Owens is connected to the curse.

Other parallels between the prequel and 2x06.

Hopper, Joyce, Bob are in 2x06 and in the prequel. Owens is in 2x06, he is connected to the curse, and has parallels with two fathers: Hopper

And Walter Bishop, who also has a son named Peter (Henry's fake name was Peter Ballard) I wrote about other parallels with Fringe here, including Mike's memory of the first time he and Will met. I have so many thoughts on Owens and his role...

Not sure who has Mike's role in the prequel. I thought Scott Clarke made sense, but maybe it's Patty. I don't think Henry is in love with her tho. And maybe that's the point. Patty is falling for Henry, but if he doesn't reciprocate, if he doesn't really trust her, maybe that's why she couldn't help him in the end. Will and Mike, on the other hand, have a deep connection and trust each other completely. And that helped Will to communicate with them.

I know that Mike and Will have been best friends since they were little kids, and Patty and Henry just met. But after a certain monologue people believe that between Mike and El it was love at first sight... So the prequel could show that, no, it doesn't work like that.

Other people have already talked about this shot. Cross, gates. And now we know that Bob was the son of a preacher. Another connection to the exorcism.

Also, if the exorcism and the massacre happened the same night, maybe the word Friend behind Will here is a reference to someone who tried to help Henry in 1959.

I have a crazy theory about Brenner, the exorcism, the demogorgon and why there's so much blood in the lab, but for now I'll just say this: if Brenner is in the shed scene, in Will's mind, when Joyce says that his birthday is on March 22, she would be right, because Matthew Modine was born on March 22, 1959.

If they really did it, they're insane, lmao!

For the Spotify Wrapped ask game - 16! <3

For @writereleaserepeat’s Whumpify Wrapped askgame!

#16. Standing in the Rain - Billy Talent

CW: sexual harassment, past teacher/student relationship, manipulation, mistreatment of sex workers, transphobia-adjacent?, victim blaming, depression, implied drug use, let me know if i’m missing anything!

It started so small.

So small.

Staying after class on Fridays, not to be tutored, just to talk. I think you’re interesting, kid.

Exchanging dark polaroids of questionable taste just not to fail. You trust me with this, don’t you?

Kneeling under a desk while the older man graded homework all the other students did. A+ job down there, kid.

Maybe that’s what started it. All meticulously designed to lead down this path. Just because some science teacher thought he was cute.

Not all of it was bad. Dr. Whumper was kind of hot anyway. And it definitely could have been worse. He could have forced it on him. He could have blackmailed him. Dr. Whumper could have hit and abused him. But he didn’t.

It was Whumpee who came to him. It was Whumpee who offered the arrangement in the first place. It may have been Dr. Whumper who buttered him up and carefully wooed him, but Whumpee could have stopped it.

Casual hookups with Dr. Whumper turned quickly into a scandal in their small town. Empty beer cans lobbed off the back of pick-ups, rocks chipped off sidewalks, and anything else teenage boys could find became a permanent obstacle to be dodged. Pinned against brick walls, TEACHER’S PET WHORE scribbled on his forehead by teenagers he’d never met.

Girls ignored him, boys tormented him, parents hates him, and teachers punished him.

Then one day, the morning after his mother screamed at him for nearly the whole night, he ran away.

January 13th, 1983. The day it ended. His new birthday as well, he’d soon decided.

It was hard for a 15-year-old to survive on his own—he’d known that from the start. But it was laughably easy how many men offered to drive him a few miles in exchange for a quick “payment,” as many liked to call it.

The big city was easier. A new name and casual confidence among the locals became a necessity if he didn’t want to get caught. Sex sold less there, and somehow more at the same time. He could sidle up on anyone and drag them in, but many brushed him off. Typical street-walker, one had called him.

He made his debut in the alleyways and backstreets, mingling with the local prostitutes and semi-frequent addicts. They taught him how to pick up Johns like a pro, always get paid, and never get caught. Invaluable knowledge it seemed, in the line of worked he found himself in.

Dirty needles and tight, red skirts lined his new path. Lost in the high of heroin, LSD, or anything else he could find, things got easy. Yet none of his friends— his new family —understood. Even the older workers looked down at him with pity.

Some let him sleep on their couches, helped him forage, showed him children’s hostels, but it never stayed for long. He’d return to the streets eventually.

Time passed quicker by the day. Soon a few months turned to a year and still, no one had come looking for him. He looked somewhat believably 18 now, a large selling point for him at least.

Old enough to be legal, young enough to be fun.

Then he turned 18 for real a while later. Not much changed. He’d donned a mask of innocence for so many years, it never really wore off. Playing on the bimbo-esque naïvety of his looks reeled in yet more and more clients, he’d never changed the game.

But soon that stopped working. Once he’d started growing hair in strange places and his eyes hollowed of their shine, it didn’t work. A rube, a fake, an act— it wore off.

Bruised feet forced into too-small heels click-click-clicked down the sidewalk, he’d lean over into big cars and bat his lashes. A little man inside, usually some big-shot business man faker than he was, would greet him. Some yelled at him to get in, others were respectful and asked his prices. None saw him as more than an object.

As the years drew on, he’d dread the hum of an engine slowing as it passed. Their eyes would twinkle as they caught him, ensnared him like a fish on a hook, and even though he hated it… at least they still wanted him.

He guessed he did too.

A/N: woah i didn’t expect to write this much!!! i just got carried away and kept going lmao. thanks so much for the ask, i really enjoyed writing this <3

So while the name "Kaito Faker" would sound horrible, anyone else think it's kinda strange that neither of Dr. Faker's kids have the same last name as him? Their last names being Tenjo implies they're named after their mother, who is never seen, heard, or mentioned once throughout the entire duration of the show (unless I'm forgetting something super small, in which case tell me)

But who IS their mother? I'm sure plenty of people have talked this one to death already, but the idea of her being from Astral World has become kind of a favorite fan theory of mine considering Haruto looks like this...

There's no way he's not meant to resemble an Astralite

He and Astral both have those round head things, and his outfit resembles the line markings that Astral has on his body. Haruto has gold eyes, while Astral's got silver and gold, which I guess you could chalk up to him being like... Artificially created? If I'm remembering right? I haven't watched Zexal in so long help sodkdmdk

Blue seems to be a very common eye color for Astralites, with colors like gold being a rare exception, since the only ones who seem to have it are Enna...

And Eliphas, once again with the heterochromia

Why is he the only one other than Astral to have like,,, defined eyes by the way? No one else is good enough to get pupils and all that? They just have the entire eye be one color unless they're special? Mister "I'm the will of the entire planet so only I get to have special eyes" smh.

Seriously I want to understand their biology so badly someone please tell me what all these little details about their bodies mean

ANYWAYS I got distracted, but going back to the whole Kaito and Haruto are Astral hybrids theory, the only issues with it are the canon timeline of events. Faker wasn't shown to have started getting involved in this whole other world business until 5 years before the start of the show, meaning Kaito would have been 13 when his dad met Vector and agreed to destroy Astral World. Him having an Astral mom would need to have been a thing even further back than that, which would require Faker to have met an Astral being at least 13 years before he ever met Vector. But what would an Astralite be doing on Earth if they didn't have a mission to be there? After all, Earth is full of primitive beings who like chaos, so why would anyone go there?

Well.

This is all just me throwing ideas out there, but what if it were Enna? For one thing, she's shown protecting the children on her planet in a lot of her scenes, so she kind of gives off that motherly figure energy.

For another, she's also the only adult woman we ever see on that planet, as everyone else is either a child or Eliphas.

Enna is also like. Pro chaos, which is a very human thing (also a very Barian thing all things considered, but since Faker was still very much the dad, we'll keep going under the assumption that he and Enna could have been a thing.) Like she was very much for chaos being used to heal the residents of her world, which was kind of a radical viewpoint for her to have considering all the centuries they've spent casting it out completely. Accepting chaos seems to be a very outside way of thinking for her people, and while it is entirely possible that she simply saw people suffering and came to the conclusion on her own that getting rid of chaos just wasn't helping anyone, it'd be kinda cool if she picked that perspective up on a trip to Earth.

At this point this is becoming more of a "wouldn't it be cool if" type of post rather than a theory, but... I mean, wouldn't it be cool if Faker's role in Zexal I had been trying to connect Astral World and Earth so that he wouldn't be galaxies away from the mother of his children? Idk, I think that'd have been a way neater plot than him trying to destroy it to help his sick child, and you wouldn't have to change around Too much of the plot to make it happen. Kite would still be hunting numbers, albeit for a different reason, but still a reason related to his family. Vector likely wouldn't appear until the very end of Zexal I and could have been a boss fight. In the original plot, he had that deal with Faker that he'd heal his sick son in exchange for destroying Astral World, but you could either nix that entirely, or have Faker agree initially with every intent of double crossing Vector and having his true intentions be to get Haruto home with his other parent where he'll be safe, regardless of what happens to him as a result.

Once again, my opinion, but. I think it'd be better than what they actually did with Faker's character, having him seem cruel and evil up to the very end, not seeming to care about his son and in fact seeming to enjoy hurting him, only for a last minute reveal that he doesn't actually hate him despite all his actions showing otherwise, he had his best interests in mind the whole time, no really stop laughing. A rewrite like this would actually show him willing to do anything to keep his son out of harm's way, regardless of what might happen to him after Haruto is out of danger, and would make him far more deserving of the redemption the show tried to give him (which really was not deserved in canon all things considered, and it didn't even come from the right person, it came from Yuma, someone not part of the family he'd been hurting, but that's another separate rant.)

Like... I don't know man, I feel like Zexal gave us too many hints about Haruto not being from this world, what his his whole deal in season one, his appearance, etc, and then they just kinda let it fall flat? They set up a possible reveal for him that they just never really followed through on. :/ And I haven't even talked about his brother yet.

Kaito doesn't bear as strong a resemblance to your typical Astralite, or if he does, it's more... Subtle.

I've seen others point out that both Astral and Kaito have hair that curves up, but given that it's just these two who have that trait while all the other background citizens on Astral's home planet seem to have hair that either spikes outward or flows down, I'm not sure if that's a strong point for or against the possibility that they share a common background... Kaito also has blue eyes, which we've established as a common color for Astralites, but since it's also a common enough human eye color, it feels like a bit of a reach to call that proof, too. His dad's got purple eyes, so he definitely didn't get the color from Faker, but it's also Yugioh, so relatives having completely dissimilar characteristics isn't exactly uncommon... The two traits Kaito has that could link him to being from Astral's world could just as easily be a coincidence.

You know what's weird about Kaito? Photon Transformation. I mean, where does he even get that ability from? It's never fully explained how he'd able to do it, he just does it, and whatever it does to him, somehow hurts him to use it. That could possibly point to him not being fully human if the other half of his heritage is able to pull off something like that naturally, but we once again know so little about Astralites that it winds up being speculation again.

I haven't actually watched Zexal in a very hot minute btw, so if anyone wants to chime in to correct me on something I got wrong/add in something I missed, go right ahead!

Protective!Michael Masterlist

Baby Love (ao3) - Anonymous OT4 T, 1k

Summary: He’s thought of himself as a puppet on a string, with Ashton as his puppet master in control.

(Or where Calum’s been a victim to Ashton’s bullying, and Luke and Michael finally catch on when something happens.)

Before It's All Too Much. (ao3) - alxclightwood G, 3k

Summary: "Luke, what's wrong?" he heard, getting quieter as the room began to spin and darkness clouded his vision, his body finally allowing him to succumb to the relief of unconsciousness.

________________________

AKA Luke likes to be dramatic when he's ill.

Cursed With A Blessing (ao3) - orphan_account M, 156k

Summary: “Well, this probably sounds crazy and not many people know about this,” Dr London started, looking at both of us before finally revealing the results of the ultrasound: “Mr. Hemmings, you are about 12 weeks pregnant with what I believe is Mr. Clifford’s child.”

And while I still tried to process what I had just learnt, Luke burst into tears beside me. Just as if he’d already known.

_____________

When Luke asked Arzaylea to pretend to be his girlfriend, he did it because he wanted to protect his relationship with Michael. For a while everyone is happy with the agreement - the fans are being fooled, their managers are oblivious.

But suddenly there are too many positive tests, too many worries, too many fake friends and the tree find themselves drowning in a whole sea of lies they told…

Faker (ao3) - 1995mgc M, 42k

Summary: “What do you mean Michael was seen with another guy?” Luke asked, looking over at Calum with furrowed brows and hurt expression. “That doesn’t make sense, he wouldn’t cheat on me.”

“I don’t know what is going on… I’m just as confused as you are Luke.”

Where Michael and Luke have been outed by a few drunken photos that got leaked from their phones. Now that their relationship has supposedly gone public, their management has decided to take matters into their own hands and only giving Michael an ultimatum.

The band or Luke.

Well, Michael chose the band… Choosing the band resulted in giving Michael a beard to prance around the city with and expect people to believe he’s dating a moderately famous person to bring more publicity to the band. Leaving Luke broken hearted with no explanation on to why any of this is happening so suddenly or why Michael moved out of their apartment or why Michael isn’t the same Michael anymore.

floating then drowning (ao3) - lovelymuke T, 9k

Summary: As Luke stands over the bathroom sink and swallows one of the pills, he knows that this is it. There's no turning back after this. As long as he can make the bottles of pills he has stashed in the bottom of his suitcase last until the end of the promo run he’ll be fine. So he doesn’t worry. Instead, he just knocks back the second pill and walks out of the bathroom to his waiting boyfriend. He’s going to prove that he’s still worthy of being in the band, that he can hold himself together.

If he needs medication to do that, no one needs to know.

makeup isn't just for girls - @sup3rbloom (haveufoundwhaturlookingfor) ot4 T, 3k

Summary: During Quarantine, Luke takes up nail painting as a hobby. Eventually, he adds makeup too. When he's with the boys again for tour, he comes clean about his new hobbies. Unfortunately, not all of his boyfriends are supportive.

perfectly fine… (not) (ao3) - lovelymuke T, 7k

Summary: In which Luke is sick, stubborn and trying to deal with his problems on his own. Michael is unaware, exhausted and honestly kind of, just a little bit, sick of Luke’s shit.

Subject Line - @daydadahlias (cornflowerblue (daydadahlias)) Calum/Ashton E, 20k

Summary: Maybe the sunrise doesn’t matter much after all. Calum can watch the sunrise any day. How many days will he get Ashton like this? Shirtless, sporting bedhead in a hotel room, with just the two of them for a few lazy hours alone?

Soon enough, they’ll be back on the tour bus and Calum won’t be allowed to hold Ashton’s hand anymore.

The Games We Play (ao3) - im_just_a_sucker_for_bromance luke/calum, michael/mali E, 30k

Summary: Michael has always warned his friends to keep away from his boyish little sister, Lucy (Luke). But what happens when Lucy secretly allowed Calum to get a little too close to her? Will something blossom between them? Was it Love or simply Lust?

This calls for a band cuddle (ao3) - Bubballoo G, 1k

Summary: Luke doesn’t feel well and crawls into Michael’s bed. The solution? A band cuddle.

this is everything i didn't say - @sup3rbloom (haveufoundwhaturlookingfor) T, 6k

Summary: Luke's home life has never been great, with an abusive and homophobic father. Calum is the only good consistent thing in his life, with Calum being Luke's best friend. One day, Calum suggests that Luke meets some new people to hang out with. Luke is hesitant, but then he meets a red head named Michael Clifford, and everything changes.

the situation is like a mountain that's been weighing on my conscience - @sup3rbloom (haveufoundwhaturlookingfor)

Summary: Luke is closeted and nobody outside of the band, and close family, knows that he has a secret husband. During promo for Youngblood, Luke suffers a panic attack when the interviewer asks a personal question. Cue, Ashton to the rescue and comfort.

you gave me hope, i gave you my life (ao3) - orphan_account M, 15k

Summary: The boy's left side of his face badly bruised, and his lip was busted and bleeding. His feathery blonde hair was stained with red, which Michael assumed was blood.

"Don't take me back," The boy sobbed. "I tried to run. P—Please, help m—me!" And he clutched Michael'a sweater sleeve tightly. Michael could feel his fear just through one touch.

Or,

The one where Luke runs away from an abusive home and runs into Michael. For some reason, Michael can't help but feel he needs to protect the delicate boy.

You see a lot up there but don't be scared, who needs action when you got words (ao3) - charlieclifford Michael/Luke N/R, 1k

Summary: Luke's new to the school and people aren't too kind towards him. Luckily, Michael's there to fight his battles for him when he's too afraid to do it himself.

your babygirl!! (for the gimme a character thing)

YUSSS VETRIX BABYGIRL!!!!

Ask game

How I feel about this character

I LOVE HIM!!!!

I adore him, unironically. A lot of people hate him solely because he’s a bad person, and to me that’s narrow-minded thinking. He’s fun BECAUSE he’s bad. He’s fun BECAUSE he’s a horrible person who hurts other people and doesn’t care for their feelings.

He’s pathetic, a disaster, and unironic mess. He’s like 50, trapped in the body of a toddler, constantly slapfighting with kids because he’s petty and can’t keep ANYONE out of his relationship drama with a certain homophobic rat. I’ll get into the relationship/ship stuff in the next section, if you’re curious.

I also like his design a lot.. the right side of his face is this beautiful mosaic and FOR SOME GOD FORSAKEN REASON HIS EYELINER IS AMAZING??? Also most people think his voice is annoying but there’s a cute charm to it… nobody can tell you sound like a girl if you make it annoying on purpose!!!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

A lot of my thoughts about him I can’t put into words because it’s all just “HAKASKISKAKAKSJSKSOSKSKSJS MMMM BABYGIRL OLD MAN YAOI” And TV static, so I hope this’ll suffice!

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Should be obvious. I ship him and Kazuma (Fathershipping), and him and Dr Faker (Deceitshipping/scientistshipping). Technically nothing I like about the two are canon but FUCK YOU their both amazing

The way I think of Fathershipping is all cute and fluffy and “omg kazuma.. but you have a wife!! But.. I still love you..”, sometimes it’s unrequited and sometimes it’s just doomed. Byron’s just a horrible shy, gay mess when it comes to Kazuma. Like ITS SO TELLING how he was willing to literally DIE for him during episode 55, and the fact that in the Sam episode there were only TWO TENTS?? Yeah, they fucked

But as for scientistshipping, it’s just horrible toxic yaoi. You know the Cantarella scene from Utena (assuming your there)? Yeah, that’s them. I wish they had more non-toxic interactions, it would have been sweet to see them reconcile beyond their gay little shoujo bubble apology

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Him and his kids! And probably him and Yuma, I’ll go more into it in the last section.

My unpopular opinion about this character

He never had a wife. He’s a transmasc (or agender, depends on how I feel) gay man, his kids are test tube babies. He’d sooner die than willingly put his lips let alone *bits* near a woman

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

I wish things with Vetrix were explored more beyond “haha look at the evil freak!!”, I wish he wasn’t demonized for wanting revenge when he literally got deformed and has PTSD from being in Barian World for 5 years straight.

I like Zexal, but (somewhat yugioh as a whole) has an issue with portraying people as either black and white villains or good guys, and people who aren’t pretty bishounen tend to get the shortest end of the stick at times. Like, there’s a REASON why his kids get more screentime than him. It’s because he isn’t conventionally attractive. Vetrix is not a black and white villain, he contains multitudes.

You have to factor in that he was was put in a foreign alien world for half a decade by a person who he thought was a FRIEND, thought his only other friend DIED, was away from his kids (two of whom were taken away and put in an orphanage), got deformed so badly literally no one recognizes him, and more. People who try to act as if characters like KAITO are better than him are so fucking insane because he’s not. I watched his duel with him today and Vetrix had a line about them being the same. They’ve both hurt and killed people as a means to an end. Hes truly not a bad person and people need to realize that 😭😭😭

There’s also the issue with his kids. I wish he got more scenes with them after his arc, I wish we got to see him work to be better especially after all he did, to deal with the ramifications of it all. It feels like his relationship with his kids were just haphazardly tacked on and stapled together, held together by a few peices of duct tape that the writers saw and just sent on its way. It would have been interesting to see if his kiss (ESPECIALLY Quattro) did not forgive him, especially after the shit he said and did.

The same for faker, these kids have no reason to forgive their father after the actual VILE acts they’ve committed towards them.

Also more old man yaoi. LET HIM INTERACT WITH KAZUMA AND FAKER AND LET THEM KISS!!!!

Hey honey, I feel that this question may be demotivating for others, and I wanted to seek some reassurance from you. Basically I have some problems due to reading this post https://www.reddit.com/r/shiftingrealities/comments/ynaasc/something_we_should_be_talking_about_more_but_no/ , I don't want to say that I agree with him, but he made that doubt resurface in me due to the fact that: with so many people who can easily move to other realities, everyone find excuses when even a little proof is required of them. Of course I didn't come here to ask you for proof, but you always find the right words and are a great help, so maybe you can give an explanation to all this that I hadn't thought of. Thanks for your help <3

Interesting!

Personally, I see where they're coming from and do agree with certain points but I also agree with most of the comments. Yes, there will be people who lie about shifting (the reasons they listed are very common), and while that is annoying and hurtful, it's still difficult to provide proof (of either one). We don't know exactly how shifting works, and this gets even more dubious with the addition of the law, so it can be hard to give tangible proof it's been done.

It can also be hard to prove someone is lying tbh! I remember one example where someone said they shifted to Hogwards and saw Hermione twerking and then everyone went off on them for lying about shifting. I don't know what came of that person (if they were lying or trolling), but I do know that with shifting anything is possible, including seemingly outlandish things like that.

Not to mention, very minor details can change between realities! Say someone wants proof you're shifting so they think of a number and ask you to tell them what number they're thinking by shifting to a reality where you know. A lot of people would be able to get it but if you accidentally shift to the "wrong" reality, you're gonna look like you lied. (I don't like mentioning the cia document but they ran into this exact problem while testing shifting and OBEs.)

Then of course, if you believe in an infinite amount of realities, there are realities where it'll never be proven. Or you'll get asked in one and answer in another. And if you factor in the law, having the assumption that everyone lies and can never prove it would affect your reality.

In my experience, there are some pretty helpful ways to figure out if someone is lying!!

Do they often make mistakes when recalling their experiences (like saying one thing one day and something else another)?

Are they asking people to pay to see their content or extra content?

Are all of their shifting experiences "crazy" or super exciting? This one is more 50/50 since some shifters just really like the more exciting, movie-like DRs, but I find that most shifters enjoy the mundane and like to share those details or are at least able to provide that information.

Did they have a super perfect shifting self concept right away and shift on their first try? Now, there are tons of people who shift on their first try!! But if their attitude is almost braggish and "oo look at me im better than everyone else", I'd be a little cautious.

From there, shifting itself can help you! You can easily shift to a reality where no lies about their shifting experiences or where people can prove it easily. You can also assume that no one lies if you believe in the law! And if you believe that manifestation and shifting are the same thing, manifestation proof is also shifting proof ;)

Honestly, I think there's a good chance this person has been jaded by what they've seen on the internet, and while I can definitely relate, there are steps you can take to diminish how many fakers you come across! I've personally shifted to a reality where the experiences I read are never fake and it's given me a lot more security. I would definitely recommend that for most shifters! And if you feel like someone is lying, you could also shift to a reality where they aren't?

#letters 🎀#honestly even if some people are lying they shouldnt be a reason to feel discouraged!#remember that there's no harm in trying!!

hog/scorched theory thing

Deciding to do this little theory I guess you could call it that but deciding to do this because I love hog/scorched and I'm just bored as hell and all the sources and credits can be found in the last part and I don't own any of the art shown they all belong to jack gore the creator of hog go check him out on twitter.

As seeing jack gores pinned tweet with the caption “LET THE GAMES BEGIN” we find a little more about our little hog and let's see what “scorch” the monster in this little game is and if he is really the one at fault here and lets do that by seeing what is hogs game exactly its name being “hog the hedgehog” an obvious knock-off of “sonic the hedgehog” being made by the company “Giga” a knock off of “Sega” but the reason this game exists is because of a universal merge that happened between sonics and hogs universe

and in the middle of the universal merge it caused Sonic's friends and doctor Robotnik to be killed but sonics code and hogs code matched in the process causing them to be one but sonic to be trapped inside of hog watching everything from the sidelines being forced to watch his world replaced by some “fakers” universe and with seeing this and all his friends killed this causes sonic to become enraged thinking and accusing all of this being hogs fault since why else would a person try to look and be like him and he was the hero after all and with this new narcissistic attitude and all this fueled his anger and hatred towards hog but when sonic found out that since he and hogs code were the same that he could take control

and sonic saw this and decided to take the opportunity and to finally take control and use hogs code so that he could be in control of the body instead of hog and so he used this power to transform and manifest himself into a mangled version of hog with him now looking more lankier and taller but the only person to catch a glimpse of this was prowler the tails of hogs universe since sonic decided that he would use hogs body to tell prowler what he thought of hog and him with some very "kind" words

and now with his brand new ability of transforming into hog and making him tower over prowler he decides to revive his old friends knuckles and tails to let them hunt down and kill their fakers but due to him not entirely being sonic and also being corrupted they weren't perfect and so the chase began with prowler being able to outrun tails for the time being but sonic got to him first mauling and torturing him in the process but soon after sonics powers ran out purging him back into hogs body and also causing the revived knuckles and tails to drop dead

but soon after waking up hog finds prowlers body and mourns his death but now determined to find a way to get rid of sonic he decided to go and try to find Dr. Ivo Mechanik or dr. Yolkman for short being the dr. Robotnik of hogs universe and after asking dr. Yolkman if he can help him get sonic out of his body dr. Yolkman agrees on one condition that he goes out and finds him the power rubys the chaos emerald of hogs universe but at this point hog was very desperate and so he agreed so they both run the machine that dr. Yolkman had built and dr. Yolkman started with scanning hogs body to see if there was actually any sign of other life than hogs inside of it and when the results came out he found that hog had a double of each of his organs like there was another body inside of hogs and when he found this dr. Yolkman was surprised but not that much since he was dealing with the fastest thing alive but with this confirming that there was another living thing inside of hogs body dr. Yolkman decides to offer hog a deal that if he got him the master ruby the master emerald of hogs universe so that he could power his machine so that he could remove sonic from hogs body and hog knew where exactly to go find it that being the sky island being the home of his friend fists the knuckles of hogs universe and when getting there hog confronts fists and asks him for the master ruby but fists declines since he was the protector of the master ruby but hog keeps asking ending in them both getting into a fight and hog winning taking the master ruby

and using the hurricane the tornado of hogs universe even though hog didn't know how to drive it he still does and makes a rough landing and either way he goes and gives dr. Yolkman the master ruby but dr. Yolkman being dr. Yolkman traps hog inside of a metal cage and takes the power ruby's and master ruby and runs away but in a state of anger and despair sonic takes over hogs body once again and destroys the cage and the shards of metal that explode from the broken cage hit dr. Yolkmans yolk-mobile causing it to crash and now with dr. Yolkman having no way to escape sonic uses his new source of power to transform himself into his biggest form yet and he grabs dr. Yolkman and just by whispering “burn” causing dr. Yolkman to burst into flames causing him to die instantly

and that's all for now but when @hogsweeped posts again I'll update this.

Part IV: Heart of Garnet

A prequel to the Dysonia AU. I’ve decided to click and drag characters from Star Girl and the Illusory Paradise and Vocaloid into here whoops

I tried my best to integrate them naturally

Feel free to hate on this and petition the tumblr council to send me back to deviantart

Also yeah Illusory Paradise has a character named Dr. Realist and we have a Dr. Faker. Funniest thing ever

Rating: General

Word Count: 2864

Characters: Christopher Arclight, Megurine Luka, Dr. Realist

Relationships: Christopher is infatuated with Luka but she’s already with Gackpo boo hoo

Warnings: Science fiction elements, character death

Summary: Long, long ago, the lone god once gazed out at the cosmos alongside a companion.

“You're trying something new today,” notes Luka as she passes by Christopher.

Heat fills Christopher’s cheeks. He looks down at his coffee, filled with more cream and sugar than usual. Just like hers.

Mustering up a smile, Christopher wonders if Luka could see his blush. With how pale he was, he probably looked like a tomato to her. The thought makes his cheeks even hotter.

“Er, yes…black wasn’t doing it for me today,” he replies, trying to sound as casual as possible.

Luka chuckles, her blue eyes sparkling with laughter. Christopher notices that her favorite headband is askew. He doesn’t think he’s ever seen her without it, the trusty hairpiece keeping her long pink hair out of her face. Christopher’s hands twitch, wishing he could stand up and correct it.

“I see. Hopefully it’s good!” she says.

“Megurine! Arclight! We’re here to save the world, not gossip!” interrupts their supervisor.

Luka gives Christopher a lopsided grin. She turns to the figure in the doorway and meets his single, uncovered eye with her sweet smile.

“Didn’t you know, Dr. Realist? Having an improved mood in the workplace leads to increased productivity!” notes Luka.

Dr. Realist rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. His monocle glints in the white light of the break room.

“You can laugh after today’s prototype testing,” he replies testily. “Now, come along. Don’t keep the others waiting.”

Exchanging smiles, Christopher picks up his coffee and walks down the laboratory’s halls with Luka.

The irony wasn’t lost on him that he had left a Dr. Faker for a Dr. Realist. Both men’s real names had been buried beneath their experiments, their nicknames sounding more real. Unlike Dr. Faker, Dr. Realist was far more whimsical. He enjoyed his coffee with seemingly half a cup of creamer in it and occasionally would break out with laughter at seemingly innocuous things. Once, Christopher even witnessed his new supervisor dancing in the rain.

Both men were eccentric in their own ways but shared the same passion towards saving humanity. However, they approached this in drastically different ways.

Because of his desire to uplift humanity on Earth, Dr. Faker had become far more popular than Dr. Realist. Determined to remain on Earth, Dr. Faker dedicated his research towards saving what they had left. Although he had often disparaged humans who were less intelligent than him in private, Dr. Faker was careful to maintain his public appearance. His focus on protecting the poor and investing in future generations quickly turned him into a beacon of hope.

From the beginning, Dr. Realist had expressed his doubts in saving the rapidly decaying planet. Often ignored, he was followed by only a small group of scientists. Proposing that humanity leave the Earth and build remote space colonies, Dr. Realist was quickly shunned by the scientific community. Despite his decades of research, he was continuously called a dreamer. To spite the community, he published his papers under the name ‘Dr. Realist.’

Due to his history of being ignored, Dr. Realist wasn’t afraid of showing his distaste for humanity. ‘Piglets’ was his preferred term for ‘people.’

Christopher follows Dr. Realist into the prototype room with a bit of satisfaction.

He had always followed Dr. Realist’s papers in secret. First as a joke, then as genuine curiosity. He wonders when he began to drift away from Dr. Faker’s papers. Perhaps it was even before he murdered his father. Dr. Faker’s papers were convoluted and nigh-unintelligible at times. Later on, Christopher would come to realize that they were full of promises for the future and optimistic outlooks on current-day situations. Dr. Realist’s papers presented tangible numbers regarding declining plant life and oxygen levels. His predictions about food insecurity and diseases had all eventually been correct. It was his proposals for the future that made him the laughingstock of the scientific community.

“Great science proves that exploring truths is justice. Unraveled history proves that justice without a power is unworthy!” cried Dr. Realist in one of the meetings where he was jeered at.

He tended to blurt out his catchphrase at random moments, startling his assistants.

As he watched crop failure after crop failure, pandemic after pandemic wash over humanity, Christopher began to doubt Dr. Faker’s promises and rewatched Dr. Realist’s maligned speeches with a deeper interest. The entire world couldn’t become Heartland City.

Regarding Dr. Faker’s city, his current supervisor despised even the mention of it.

“It’s nothing but a vulgar lie that’s bound to unravel someday,” he sneered when Christopher mentioned the divide between him and his family.

Now, seeing Dr. Realist’s prototype for the STELLA system, Christopher begins to catch a glimpse of his and Luka’s possible futures.

The full body chamber at first appeared no different than the healing pods used in Heartland City’s emergency rooms. It was the numerous wires that made all the difference.

“Wish me luck,” whispers Luka, her voice audible only to Christopher.

Warmth fills Christopher’s chest. The ends of her pink hair tickles his hand, leaving behind the smell of expensive shampoo. Too soon the smell fades, leaving behind only the cold, sterile smell of the laboratory.

Removing her lab coat, Luka hands it off to an assistant and steps into the pod made specifically for her. As she lays down, the wires automatically connect to various parts of her body, aided by her black bodysuit. Christopher watches as the pod closes and the aerated gel rises around Luka’s body. Through the glass, she gives everyone a smile before her eyes flutter shut.

Silence. The room remains dark, yet the atmosphere is thick with anticipation. Christopher’s heartbeat skips a beat as Luka’s eyes move beneath her eyelids. A part of him wishes he could hold her hand, her nails always painted a cheerful light blue.

She was the first person that had welcomed him to Dr. Realist’s lab. Apparently, she had been drawn to Christopher’s abnormally long hair that was styled similarly to hers. They’ve exchanged beauty tips every once in a while, but their conservations always drift back to mundane talk.

Or was it soul searching?

Luka felt as if she understood the loneliness that Christopher had experienced. The sensation of being surrounded by so many, yet unable to make any meaningful connections anywhere…He could feel it in her rare sighs and gentle voice. Once, when they were leaving on a late night, they had both looked up at the sky and made the same comment.

“It’s so hard to see the stars with this damn moon.”

They had looked at each other in shock and then shared a good laugh.

The words have nestled in Christopher’s heart like a treasured pearl. He runs through that moment repeatedly on lonely nights.

But he knows it’s impossible—the possibility of him and Luka being romantically involved. Before he had arrived at the lab, Luka was already engaged to a kabuki actor who went by the stage name Gackpo. Even in the experimental pod she kept her engagement ring on. Christopher can’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy every time he sees the silver ring.

“He’s so thoughtful! It has my birthstone and flower!” she had said, showing Christopher the ring once he had asked about it.

The ring featured a snowdrop with a garnet in the middle. He had looked up which month the garnet belonged to afterwards. January. He hasn’t asked when in January because he wasn’t sure if they were close enough yet.

The sound of electrical humming jolts Christopher from his memories. The room’s lights turn on, followed by the computers around them. Excited murmurs fill the room as readings of Luka’s vitals fill the screen. The largest screen then flickers to life. Christopher’s heart soars as WELCOME TO STELLA appears across the screen.

Success, whispers a voice in his head as Luka activates the small sprinkler system. Success. Christopher raises his face towards the miniature rain shower. The beginning of the end.

🟔

It was official. They would be part of the first wave of colonies. Christopher lingers by the side of the breakroom’s door, watching Luka’s back. She was alone in the breakroom, hunched over her coffee. From the smell, he could tell that it was black. She was toying with her engagement ring, the garnet dulled after years of experiments and everyday wear.

“Have you told him?” asks Christopher as he approaches Luka.

She looks up at Christopher, a tight smile on her lips.

“Of course. He was prepared for this. And you?”

A brief call. Nothing else. He couldn’t bear to return home and witness the lesions on his loved ones’ skins. When he thinks of the barren earth, wilted flowers and sickness that plagued Heartland, it only makes him wish that they were here with him. If only they had jumped ship before the water had reached their necks. Instead, they were stubborn on reviving something that had died ages ago.

“Yes. We didn’t have much to say. They knew what I would eventually be doing,” replies Christopher.

Luka’s gaze returns to her ring. She twists it back and forth, letting out a wistful sigh.

“I wanted it to work. Truly. To settle down with him and maybe start a family. But…a part of me always knew that was just a fantasy.”

Christopher looks at Luka. He takes in her pale skin, sunken eyes and blotchy face. She was so beautiful. He couldn’t explain it, but the loneliness in her expression felt like looking into the night sky at times. Vast. Deep. Although he looked at the stars, he knew that millions of light years away, most of them had already died. Despite that, he loved looking at their long-gone visages.

“I was one of Dr. Realist’s first assistants. I have to see this through the end,” she continues, mustering a weak smile. “Up there, they’ll call me Stella. What about you?”

“V,” murmurs Christopher, the old nickname strange on his tongue.

He is no longer the lost and desperate 20-year old that carried that name. At 45, he supposes he’s old enough to know better.

“V…,” echoes Luka.

Christopher sits down beside Luka. His blood roars through his ears. Her shoulders rise and fall with each breath she takes. Throughout the seven years he’s known her, it feels as if she hasn’t aged a bit.

“I hope our colonies are close,” she murmurs, placing a hand on Christopher’s. “It’d be nice to have someone to watch the stars with for eternity.”

Christopher fights the burning in his cheeks. He’s come to terms with the fact that they’d never be more than coworkers, whether on Earth or in space. Still, the hand was enough for him to last a lifetime. Maybe even two.

“I hope so too,” he says.

🟔

He watches as Luka’s pod is closed for the final time, the glass melting shut with the steel cradle of the case. Luka’s eyes have misted over as her mind slowly connected to her distant colony. In a few hours, her body will be transported towards her eternal resting place. Soon, the memory of their conversations and her smile will be all he’ll have of her.

He tells himself not to despair. At least their colonies will be close.

🟔

Their conversations have continued. The only change is that they have eternity to talk. Buried deep within their daily calculations, vitals reports and watching over their humans, their conversations are exchanged via 0s and 1s.

Even though they are light years away, they still have to mind their distance. Their new hearts were highly reactive to one another, pulsing with endless amounts of energy. And so they take turns, edging their cores away from one another to sneak in a whisper or two. Anything to remind them that they were once flesh and blood instead of circuitry floating in the void of space.

They talk about the cyclical nature of things. Of reincarnation and recycling. Seeing the faces of their loved ones reflected in their inhabitants. The resemblance is only skin-deep, of course. Their original memories are no longer there. Still, those reincarnations are comforting to look upon. So is each other’s presence, even though they are slowly being pulled apart by the cosmic fabric of the universe.

And so time languidly passes on like this, their conversations unintelligible to everyone but themselves. Memories blur. Images fade. They help restore each other’s fading memories to the best of their abilities.

An old memory floats up into Christopher’s mind. He passes it to Luka, who adds to it.

“System rot?” Christopher had asked during the Stella colony’s construction.

Luka looked up at the clear blue sky, as if she could peer lightyears ahead at her new body.

“It’s when a ‘god’ completely forgets their humanity. That’s when the colony system is deemed unfit,” she said quietly.

“Then what?”

“A dystopic existence for the humans aboard. Or, the ‘god’ simply collapses,” replied Luka.

“It’s all theory though, isn’t it?” asked Christopher.

Luka shrugged.

“It’s my theory. We saw it once out of the ten thousand simulations with the human brains we had on hand.”

“For something like this, shouldn’t you have conducted more tests?”

Luka gave Christopher a small smile.

“It’s very hard for Dr. Realist to get his hands on a brain these days.”

There was a tank in the back of the lab that stood as a reminder of Dr. Realist’s very first tests. A human brain floated in the darkened liquid, suspended by various wires. He had always wondered who it had belonged to before landing in Dr. Realist’s hands.

Overtime, the ‘gods’ learned of each other’s families and attempted to piece together what they looked like once the other’s memory began to fade.

Miku? queried Luka.

Teal hair. Bright eyes. Bubbly. Loves her negi. Little sister, replied Christopher.

Michael? he asked.

Pink, brown hair. Green, ovoid eyes. Gentle. Surrounded by history. Youngest brother, said Luka after a brief delay.

On and on their conversations went, seemingly stretching into the abyss of eternity. They would try to communicate with other colonies but would never have as equally interesting exchanges. As the colonies began to pull further and further away from each other, communications grew increasingly sparse until there was nothing but static. Christopher felt them blink out of existence with a small twinge in his heart. However, as long as he had Luka, he was content.

Until she begins to spout nonsense. In the middle of sentence, a series of garbled 0s and 1s would suddenly interrupt her. She stops moving her core away from Christopher, the pulsating waves of energy almost painful for him to intercept.

At first, he thought that the distance between them was becoming too great and that communication was slowly being distorted by other waves. Then the waves from her come in rapid pulses, each one increasingly abnormal.

CAN’T REMEMBER, she once screamed to him.

The rest of her message was garbled.

NAME. VOID. VOID? A sea of zeroes. Nothing but zeroes, like a mouth open in a scream only V could hear.

System rot, whispered a voice deep within Christopher.

His panels trembled, the closest sensation he had to fear.

He keeps her last coherent words to him under lock and key. Firewall after firewall. Layer after layer. Something he has tried to delete from his memory but can’t ever truly remove it from his mind.

I CAN’T GIVE ALL OF THEM HAPPINESS.

And buried beneath those words are her final screams, the screams of a dying colony and her breaking heart.

He knows she’s out there somewhere, a darkened husk of broken metal surrounded by the remains of a once-great star. One day she will be all alone, floating in a void of nothingness, the star still stubbornly clutched in her chest. Then, someday the star will explode, scattering her remains throughout the void. Yet her cries for help from eons ago will continue to travel across the universe, deteriorating just like she was. Far out enough, they will distort into unintelligible static. The static will then continue its lonely journey across the universe, begging for anyone to come and decipher its increasingly garbled sounds.

For now, someone on a distant colony can still see Stella’s star, brilliantly shining on despite the husk of the colony that was wrapped around it.

Would they still think that the star was beautiful once they discovered that it was held in a corpse’s chest?

Would they look at her like how Dysonia’s god had once lovingly stared up at the stars?

Would they mourn?

Would they cry?

Sing little songs about her?

Search for her real name, which was L—

V tries not to dwell on Stella too much.

After all, it happened millennia ago.

Still, on lonely nights, he will run through his memories with her on Earth. The images grow foggier by the century. Despite the blurry faces and distant words exchanged, the memories never fail to spark a bit of warmth in his systems.

Anything, anything to remind him that he was once human, just like the beings that live and die on his panels. Anything to ward off his loneliness.

Day 8: The hierophant

AU where everything is the same BUT everyone wears lolita and instead of duels, people have fashion battles like Love Nikki.

More details and a sketch dump beneath

Yuma has to collect all 100 Hopegorgeous accessories to regain Astral’s memories.

He’s pretty sure Astral was a famous model or something.

On top of style battles, there’s auction battles for desired clothing items too

There’s a few brands floating around but the top two brands are Hopegorgeous and Babythebariashinesbright

The ‘beginner’ brand known for beginner styles and ehh quality is Baseline

Heartland City has an in-house brand called Heartland. It’s designed by Mr Heartland and Dr Faker. It’s pretty colorful and kinda over the top. Kaito’s the top model for Heartland.

Christopher was Kaito’s mentor. They met on a forum. He gives Kaito shit for everything he does

Getting called an ‘ita’ is basically asking for a fight (kinda like getting called noob. Ita carries the connotation that ‘it’s painful to look at’)

Barians are basically brandwhores who only buy from Baria. The models known as ‘emperors’

Under Astral’s tutelage, Yuma learns to get better and better at coords.

Tron still happens. He wears the exact same clothes as in Zexal.

Thomas set Rio’s entire closet on fire and she spent months in hiding to rebuild

Tea parties are filled with strife and drama. The WDC is now one big tea party.

The Blacklist, Season 8 episodes 8X21 (Nachalo) and 8X22 (Konets) unpack many answers!

Episode 8.21 Nachalo will reveal Red’s origin story and how he became the Concierge of Crime. [clue. Red is actually Katarina Rostova] 8.22 Red’s identity is revealed to Liz in her last dying moments.

In season 6 and 7 we have the episode Rassvet 6.19. Dom tells Liz a story about Ilya Koslov becoming Reddington. We know something is off when Red angrily confronts Dom and tells him he made things worse by telling Liz those things. We then see the stranger in ep.6.22 (s he was described at that time in the episode descriptions) telling Red that Dom should not have told Liz that story. We didn’t know yet though that this guy was in fact Ilya. FFWD to mid season 7, It is revealed that Ilya Koslov wasn’t the one that had the surgery to become surgery. He said only 3 people were involved... Himself, Katarina, and Dr. Koehler. No third man mentioned that was in the loop. “No one knows Reddington is dead” you and I know that... etc. If Red knows KR better than she knows herself and more than anyone, and they share one soul // one soulmate, than you’d think that he is another person she could turn to. No third man is ever talked about. Ilya is the *only* Man Katarina can trust. That is why she turns to Ilya instead and asks HIM to take care of Masha if anything were to happen to her. We then find out mid season 7 that the Red we are watching is not in fact Katarina’s childhood friend, Ilya Koslov. Ilya Koslov is actually the stranger aka “Frank”. He wasn’t the one that became Reddington. Combine this with the fact that we know that only two people on the planet knew that RR died that night and that the PLAN to become RR involved Katarina, Ilya, and Dr. Koehler. No one else!

In S8E21, we get confirmation that the woman presented as Katarina in S6 and S7 was in fact not the real one. But before that in ep 8.02, she found out from Dom where KR was living and her new identity. We know that Faker had been looking for the real one the whole time. Once Dom tells her, she makes a beeline for Red and tells him that he was right in front of her the whole time. She even mocks Red by telling him that she wonders what it must be like for him knowing he can’t kill her because of how much Elizabeth loves her Mother.

Finally we have the Townsend Directive and N-13. Red is N13 and so is Katarina. Townsend needs to find N13 (who is responsible for the slaughter of Townsends family/children) and kill their child in front of them as payback. Ivan whispers to Townsend something that Red said would make Townsend wanna kill Liz. Red admits that both he and Katarina were ultimately responsible for the deaths of NT’s family. Two plus two equals 4. That is why Red knew that he would kill Liz.

We get to Rassvet and Konets.

8.21 Right from the very beginning of the episode, we have Red and Katarina’s voices blending together as one. “You. Me. Your Mother (voices blending together) “To understand why I came into your life, you need to hear my story.”

https://soundcloud.com/j-santiago-393253299/the-blacklist-nachalo-episode-8x21?si=46df79a3c91041f0baf6c9d948ff6397&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

8/21

Red told Liz that he erased her memories in S2. In Nachalo, KR said she was the one. They both said they did it to protect Liz. This episode confirms that KR was burned. In the episode Requiem, we see the back of her shirt burned in the same upper left hand corner where Red is burned. KR touches the banister in the Tacoma Park home. just like Red did in S1. The camera specifically focuses on THAT. They show Red’s memory of Bubble Girl when Looking out the window but this time we see it was actually kR’s memory. Liz tells Katarina’s “ghost’ “Everything about you is a lie”. That circles back to the line in the pilot where Red said that everything about him is a lie. Further proof that Redarina was always the story since inception and it has never changed. We hear Katarina say that her mother understood her but that her father was unyielding. Tie this is with Red telling Liz when he was having his final death meal that his mother understood him but his father did not.

We have both ilya and Katarina saying that Dom couldn’t accept the truth of who became Reddington.

The camera pans to Katarina’s face when Dom said: It was HIS fault that a plan was needed in the first place. Just rewatch that scene and look at the expression she makes.

The Fake Katarina/Tatiana said that who she had been looking for was the real Katarina. We hear Dom say in Nachalo that he told Tatiana where the real Katarina was hiding and what her new identity was. Afterward, the fake KR makes a beeline to RED and tells him that all those years searching and he was right in front of her the whole time. Add in Jon Bokenkamps interviews where he said that what this woman was after had to do with Red’s identity.

Both Red and KR said in this episode that they slept with both MEN AND WOMEN.

This is A Man’s World The Song plays during the scene where the new Reddington is undergoing surgery and then afterward.

Konets

Liz asked Red why she couldn’t know who he was until after he had died. He replied by saying that if she knew beforehand she’d never agree to kill him.

In Liz’s final montage where her life flashes before her eyes, her final scene is of her directly looking into Red’s eyes and an image of her mother comes into focus. For half a second her eyes and mouth are wide open. this is when she knew. Then after she closes her eyes, Red himself has a flashback of himself as Katarina kissing baby liz when she was born.

Nobles Of Nature AU Lore: The Noble Houses

(Verse developed with and exclusive to Crix’s blogs, aka @masterofaster / @enterpainment / @kinglanius / @hollowedhatter / @abysstainment / @darkoccultism )

Throughout the land, there exists a group of noble houses that are tasked with supporting and governing the people who live there. Each house specializes in a different area, having their own strengths and weaknesses. Some houses get along, some do not. Some appear good and are good, but some might have something darker under the surface.

Akaba House

The Akaba House is headed by Lord Leo Akaba, and specializing in combining magic and technology together. Research is headed by Lord Akaba himself and by his trusted science partner, Dr. Faker. They’ve developed everything from defense systems, to weapons, to practical things that increase the efficiency of everyday life, all done by harnessing the magic that exists in the powers of nature itself. Out of all of the houses, they are by far the biggest and most advanced. They have allieship with the Sawatari House.

The Akaba family is large and diverse, Leo Akaba having had three different wives throughout his time as a lord (including having relationships with multiple at the same time) and having three different sets of gifted children with each one. With his first wife (who is deceased), he had four daughters: Ray, Rin, Serena, and Yuzu. With his second wife (who died a few months prior to the start of the story of this AU and raised her children apart from the main house until her death), he had two children: Shun and Ruri. Lastly, with his third wife Himika, he had two sons: Reiji and Reira.

The daughters of Leo Akaba were gifted with unique magical gifts relating to a specific aspect of nature. Yuzu with flowers/plants, Rin with wind, Ruri with animals (she is best with birds, through), and lastly, Serena with the moon. The eldest daughter and true heir to the family Ray, on the other hand, has the capacity for magic manipulation of all these aspects, being able to combine them and harness their full power.

The sons of the family, on the other hand, were not gifted with magical abilities. Reiji Akaba inherited his father’s intelligence and affinity for science, usually being seen locked in his room doing his research. Reira was also gifted in intelligence and raw instinct, but is very shy and is rarely seen away from Reiji’s side. Shun is gifted in the physical sense, being the strongest physically and quiet adept at at combat with both weapons and physical combat. He developed these skills to protect his younger innocent sister Ruri, who in his eyes is the only remaining family he has since he does not share the familial bond with his half siblings.

Each of the children have a retainer assigned to them to look after and protect them. Shun’s retainer is Dr. Faker’s son Kaito, whose main job consists of keeping the young master from causing havoc with his anger management issues and violent tendencies. Reiji’s retainer is Nakjima, a quiet, strong, and loyal man who will follow Reiji’s orders without question. Reira’s retainer is Haruto, the youngest son of Dr. Faker. Though, Haruto acts more as Reira’s friend than anything else, both children having bonded due to their similarities and quiet natures.

The retainers of the daughters of the house are quiet unique, being a set of five brothers who are dragons hidden by a magical disguise produced by enchanted jewelry worn by each respective lady. Their existence as dragons is kept secret under orders of Lord Akaba for reasons unknown to everyone but the man himself. They were all given this task when the five brothers were spared by the family after causing a massive rampage across many towns and villages that the daughters of the house stopped. This rampage was started by the eldest brother Zarc, an alpha dragon whose connection runs deep with his little brothers Yuto, Yuri, Yugo, and Yuya.

Due to being the most destructive of the five dragons, he was assigned to the eldest and most experienced daughter Ray. He was stubborn about accepting his position at first, especially with Ray refusing to give him any orders for the first few months. However, with Ray’s help, he eventually settles in, realizing his own faults regarding how he viewed his brothers like they were still babies, and begins to take a liking to his new mistress.

The second eldest, Yuto, was assigned to Lady Ruri. He has a dark, brooding, and frightening exterior according to his brothers, but he is noble, quiet, and very gentle hearted. His outward appearance did not scare his lady, however. In fact, she treated him and continues to treat him with kindness, the opposite approach to her protective brother Shun who threatened Yuto on his first day. Shun eventually became to respect Yuto when he saved his little sister from harm, and has grown a strong kindship with the young dragon. Yuto can often be found in the house gardens with Lady Ruri, her brother and his retainer, or on occasion one of the heirs of a noble family associated with the Akaba Clan: Lady Sayaka and her retainer Allen.

The third eldest, the playful and poisonous dragon Yuri, was assigned to Lady Serena. Similar to the situation was Zarc, he was chosen to be with Serena due to her being the most combat experienced out of her sisters. He follows orders better than any of his brothers, and is the most formal. However, he is also the one who will mess with his mistress more than any of the others. Serena, not at all happy with this arrangement, usually tells him to leave her be. If he is at her side, it is usually on her father’s orders not her own. If not, he can be found in the house’s gardens creating toxic plant life to use as security.

The second youngest, Yugo, was assigned to Lady Rin. Aside from the protective aspect of his position, he sucks at his job. He is not formal at all, often doesn’t listen, and gets himself into trouble more often than not. This has caused Rin to be more of a caretaker to him rather than the other way around, but she doesn’t mind it despite the annoyance. Yugo brings her companionship, and is just too darn kind and adorable to get mad at for long. They are a pair who got along relatively quickly.

The youngest, Yuya, was assigned to Lady Yuzu. A dragon with duel-colored eyes, Yuya is a natural born entertainer. Yuzu, who very much had an entertainment related hobby in singing, instantly got along with the young dragon. Out of all the pairs, they got along the fastest. They can be seen having fun together in all sorts of ways, smiles never leaving their faces. Though, Yuzu is not afraid to whip out her fan if Yuya takes a joke too far or does something stupid.

Sawatari House

The Sawatari House is headed by Lord Sawatari, and is the smallest house by far. However, what they lack in size they make up in funds. The Sawatari House is by far the richest of all the houses, and deals with the land’s economy. Because of this, they tend to be the house everyone wants to ally with. Currently, they are only allied with the Akaba House due to an arranged marriage between the Sawatari heir Lord Shingo and the third eldest daughter of the Akaba House, Lady Serena.

Lady Serena is 100% opposed to the marriage, while Lord Shingo is all for it. He’s been in love with her ever since they met, and he’s determined to marry her at any cost. Though, with the recent introduction of Yuri, that might make things more difficult. In fact, he feels jealousy towards the retainer, so much so he would no doubt like to get rid of him to have Serena all to himself...

Eden House

The Eden House is headed by Lady Eve, and is the house most loved by the public due to their charity. They are dedicated to helping the lives of the commoners, opening up several orphanages, soup kitchens, and shelters for those in need. Lady Eve truly believes in helping others, wanting to bring salvation and hope to those who do not have any. Some see her as a goddess and or a savior. However, her direct involvement in such affairs is limited due to an unknown illness she had been inflicted with several years ago, causing horrible wrinkles to appear across the left side of her face. She is often bedridden in a medical ward headed by Issac for large parts of the day.

Her inner circle consists of herself, Issac, Ren, Sora, and her love Adam. Adam, much like Zarc, is an alpha dragon with extraordinary power. He too hides his dragonic appearance using enchanted jewelry, something Eve had gotten as a gift from her late sister: Leo Akaba’s first wife. He acts as Eve’s retainer, their love being kept a secret to everyone outside the inner circle. Adam, similar to Yuya, is a performer, often performing magic tricks and taking on any role Eve would desire. His devotion to her and her mission to help the world is unmatched.

He also has a past with Zarc that he keeps hidden, being the only person outside of the Akaba House to know of Zarc and his brother’s true identities as dragons...

Rainsworth House

The Rainsworth House is headed by Lady Sheryl Rainsworth and Lord Barma, and is the house specializing in espionage and information gathering. This means they are experts of knowing what is going on with the other houses and the world at large. They have the most extensive library in the land with just about any book you could think of, making them a prime resource for anyone wanting to study anything. However, of the houses, they are the most isolated of the houses, only really leaving their area to gather information or to maintain relations.

The heir to the house is one Sharon Rainsworth, a strong, kind, and intelligent young lady who is the granddaughter of Lady Sheryl. She lost her mother Shelly due to illness not so long ago, and as a result of that, decided to take on a contract with a creature known as Equus. You see, the Rainsworth House is much like all of the houses in that they contain a secret power. They hold the power to access a realm known as the Abyss, a mysterious prison home to creatures known as Chains who can make contracts with humans to allow use of their powers.

Sharon, her grandmother, Lord Barma, her retainer Break, Glibert Nightray, Reim Lunnetes, and Oz Vessalius are the only people in the house who have a known contract with a Chain. Unlike the Akaba and Eden houses, the Rainsworth House has made the existence of the Chains known to the other houses. However, the knowledge the other houses have about the Chains and contractors is limited. This is because to keep power balanced between the houses, all the supernatural power one house has is to be made public. Ryou Bakura is also a member of this house, as well.

Dragon Star House

The Dragon Star House is officially headed is headed by Lord Jack Atlas, but internally is managed by the bearer of the mark of the Dragon Head: Lord Yusei Fudo. This house is one focused on maintaining order and justice between the other houses as well as the people. Essentially, they are the central governing body of the houses. This makes them both a desired ally, or hatred enemy for some.

The heads of the house are a group of individuals known as the Signers, six people born with birthmarks of the legendary beast of legend: The Crimson Dragon. These marks pass on through the generations, and as of now, the current Signers are: Jack Atlas, Yusei Fudo, Crow Hogan, Aki Izayoi, and the twins Rua and Ruka. Their status as Signers allows them to form special bonds with legendary dragons who serve the Crimson Dragon.

Jack has bonded with Red Dragon Archfiend. Yusei has bonded with Stardust Dragon. Crow has bonded with Black Winged Dragon. Aki has bonded with Black Rose Dragon. Rua has bonded with Life Stream Dragon, and Ruka has bonded with Ancient Fairy Dragon. These dragons are well known throughout the land, some seeing them as guardian deities. They also are the reason most do not want to mess with the Dragon Star house.

The Dragon Star House’s main adversary is the Earthbound House, home of the Dark Signers. They have been in conflict with the Dragon Star house for generations due to the Dark Signer’s deities, the Earthbound Immortals, being the mortal foes of the Crimson Dragon. The Signers will stop at nothing to ensure the safety of the land from the Dark Signers. However, a wrench is thrown into that when a new maid of the Dragon Star House, a girl named Carly, ends up forming a strong connection with Jack Atlas...

Earthbound House

Last but not least, the Earthbound House is lead by the brothers Lord Rudger and Rex Godwin. They are the shadiest of all the noble houses, and do not do anything to benefit society. No, instead they have a secret society full of followers who worship the Earthbound Immortals, dead gods hell bent on destroying the Signers and turning this world into ruin. The Earthbound Immortals envoys are the Dark Signers, who have birthmarks of the immortals etched onto their arm that have been passed down through the generations.

The current Dark Signers are Rudger Godwin, Roman Godwin, Kiryu Kyosuke, Demak, Bomber, Misty Lola, and Carly Nagisa. They bear the marks of the spider, condor, giant, monkey, whale, lizard, and hummingbird respectively. In order to fuel the rebirth of the Earthbound Immortals trapped inside seals in the ground by the Crimson Dragon, they plan to harvest the energy of their followers when the time is right. They also have decided to send in someone to spy and trip up the signers, using their powers to make them lose their memory until the time comes to trigger it back...
