#he was always a mystery to me

[musicalislife]

Who is Häärijä?

I know what his character represents.

After seeing the fitness/workout videos I’m a bit more confused/curious about the man than I was before. Is he one of Jere’s friend who agreed to do the gigs? Or is he a paid actor? An actor who was Jere’s friend before Häärijä was created? An actor who become Jere’s friend? Or just some random guy? What’s the lore behind him? What’s his real name? Who was he before he became Häärijä?

#käärijä #häärijä #i’m confused #sorry english is not my first language #he was always a mystery to me #someone please explain #i’m just curious #jere pöyhönen #honest question #love häärijä with all my heart

"You're a kid whos mom was obsessed with a cult, and when you were just 12, she sacrificed you. You end in hell and expected to be tortured for eternity, but turns out the demon wanted a child of his own"

by WRITING PROMPTs

Maybe Bruce?

Aweee now, just imagine!

These cultists? Totally an accident that they for the ritual right. Jason doesn’t die so much as he just seem to kind of vanish into smoke and—

wtf.

Ok.

There’s- there’s a whole child.

Right at Bruce feet. All of a sudden.

A human child.

In hell.

And look, they couldn’t have chosen a worse demon to send a sacrifice to because Bruce? He’s a protector of children.

Because there’s something that so many story and demonology books get wrong.

Hell is for the bad people to be punished for all eternity.

And Bruce? And all the other demons populating hell? Well, they exist solely for one reason:

To punish sinners for the crimes they committed in life.

It’s a jail. Bruce and his fellow demons are the jailers. They don’t guard the doors of hell because they don’t want anybody to get in, they’re guarding them so nobody gets out.

But children, children have no business being in this place of torture and agony. Not ever. There’s a whole ass system in place to keep the good souls from accidentally wandering where they shouldn’t be.

So Bruce sees this tiny, starved child crying and screaming and— fuck. This is a Dick situation, isn’t it? He needs to go to earth. Again. And drag some people down to damnation all early and piss off death again. But you know what? Tough shit. They want a demon? They’re gonna get one.

(Jason is soon introduced to another strange human after he mysteriously pops back up on earth. His name is Richard “Dick” Grayson, and his teeth are too sharp and his pupils look almost reptilian in the right light, but he takes Jason to a big ass house with a real strange butler and lots of food.

Jason thinks he’s seen the weird Brucie guy who introduces himself as Dick’s dad somewhere before… but Jason is cool with not looking a gift horse in the mouth. After all, what are the chances he’ll fall into another cult’s hands so soon after the last?)

#this went in a totally different direction than intended #but we need some demon lore diversity and I’m always here for more #Bruce has a part time gig on earth to make life better for kids and the innocents #he’s got a lot of minions #Bruce is a king of hell #one of— seven maybe #anyway the cultists also mysteriously vanished #Bruce didn’t intend to actually adopt jason #but he’s weak to the kid’s spitfire nature #like that could literally be his offspring #dick’s a half demon #he takes one look at jason and goes ‘ew #at first #and then within ten minutes he’s like ‘b can you point me to the cultists I wanna brush up on my torture skills pls’ #bruce with tears in his eyes: my babies #jason todd #batfamily #dick grayson #batfam #bruce wayne #robin #prompts #brainstorming #ghost talks

#I have already said that his chest will be the death of me #Xiao Shunyao is hot #He is stunning with this hairstyle and make up #Actually he is always stunning #He wears v-neck shirts because he knows how they affect us #But damn man! If you keep doing this I will be death before 2024! #The little dragon on his cheek is chef's kiss #With the hairstyle and the face mask in the top right photo he reminds me the character of a videogame like Mortal Kombat or Dead or Alive #I would always choose him to play #I can hear the off-screen voice of the game saying “Xiao Shunyao wins. Flawless Victory” #He is flawless by the way #i love him #xiao shunyao #chinese drama #cdrama #mysterious lotus casebook #lian hua lou #shui long yin #di feisheng

love it when a character that's hard to read intuitively for you has like a dedicated fandom interpreter who can just glance at their blank face in a panel and then give you a 3k word essay on their innermost thoughts & desires & fears and neatly tie it back into the themes & whatnot as if it's the most obvious thing in the world

#im talking about griffith btw #guts i feel i get intuitively - maybe because i have some personality traits in common with him #and we get more about his life concretely told to us in canon. so he is a bit easier to pin down as a character and feel attached to for me #but whenever i was reading the manga i just kept wanting more insight about griffith's actions and feelings #like ok yeah its fun to have mysterious antagonists and suspense /tension etc but its also fun to feel like you deeply understand them too #and i felt like that was a bit missing from him for me in canon #so reading about him in analysis and fics is the most fun for me rn #he always felt kinda half unreal to me- which maybe was the point of him - but i wanted a bit more about his childhood or something? #and wished we had more stuff explicitly from his pov in the story to read or explanation about his transformation or wtv #and now he's so much more closed off to me even than he was in the golden age. i keep waiting for him to explain stuff and he does not #ANYWAYS all this rambling to say some people out there are very good at interpreting him and making his like. insecurities #more obvious to me bc i didnt really get that side of him from canon intuitively well #also im really enjoying reading the first few berserk fics ive read #there may not be a ton of them out there but there is def writing talent in the fandom #i'll share some recs once i'm done sifting through most of what's out there to read #also (not to tie everything back to death note but it IS my home fandom after all) #i feel griffith is obvs the more light-like character here and L maybe a bit guts-like? but unlike berserk in death note #light is the one you get to know best and L is the mysterious / unreal one you don't get a lot of concrete insight into #and in the DN fandom I can read the more mysterious character intuitively but had to warm up to the less mysterious one instead #and the mystery of L makes sense to me and doesnt bug me as much due to like - he HAS to hide a lot about himself or else he will die lol #so some similarities there but also some opposite feels as well #berserk spoilers #p

Imagine waking up from a long sleep and regaining your memories just because of the cascade of letters awaiting you. Imagine reading and remembering your student and friend, the only person who knows your struggles, who wrote all these letters that are here for you, who went through so much hardship and pain in places you couldn't see and must read between the lines to even know.

You are an angel, one of the strongest existences in the world, and yet the other has gone far beyond you, to somewhere you can't ever reach. The only thing you can do is write to him as he did to you, so that when he returns, he would not forget the person he is at heart. Until that day, you wait. Hoping for the best, but never knowing when or even if he'll return.

(thinking of their relationship again and i want to die)

#klein is the *only* person as far as we know that has been with azik through his self-discovery #azik is one of the few people who knows what klein's been through from being there and because of the letters #klein opened himself in those letters in a way he would never do face-to-face #like when he mentioned his time in tingen and wanting to go back to those days... #as always these two drive me insane #lord of the mysteries #lotm #lord of mysteries #azik eggers #klein moretti #platonic aziklein #lotm spoilers

#mysterious lotus casebook #li lianhua #li xiangyi #lhl #my mlc gifs #thanks to the folks who helped weigh in on that last gif! #specifically thank you to: #the-surreptitious-albatross #lianxiaojie #and an apology... #to our dear a-fei #for including him in this gifset #I still believe that the feihua relationship is one of the most devastating tragedies of this show #because of the way that di feisheng grows subtly but significantly over the course of the show #and he comes SO CLOSE to loving and accepting llh/lxy for who he is and who he always was #and maybe he in fact DOES get to this point internally #but his last words to llh are inviting him to fight him like times of old #showing (in llh's eyes at least) a regression to their previous selves #a “self” that maybe llh feels he never actually was #which is why I specifically wanted a feihua scene in that last gif to juxtapose with the more obvious shan gudao scene #the subtext of that feihua scene is very sexy of them (I am looking disrespectfully) #but the text of the scene is brutal and tragic: #as di feisheng violently lashes out at li lianua for his perceived weaknesses #and while llh's initial reaction was at most faintly irritated up until that point #you can see that spark of genuine hurt and sadness in his gaze as dfs holds him at arms length #anyway this has been “things about mlc that make me want to tear my hair out at 3AM” #thank you for coming to my ted talk

tried to type “eating people’s organs” in relation to hannibal but organs autocorrected to oranges so anyway hannibal au where everything is the exact same except hannibal can’t stop eating people’s oranges. he’s a local menace, breaking into backyards in the middle of the night and wreaking havoc because he picks all the citrus trees until there’s Nothing Left. one time he broke into someone’s kitchen and stole all their oranges AND orange marmalade. it’s fucked up and he doesn’t even care. he feeds people their own stolen oranges and they don’t even Know. he’s still a psychopath and he still gets imprisoned and in twotl will gets covered in orange juice and realises this is who he really is

#he’s called the ripper because he rips the oranges from the trees #he escaped florence and they’ve been trying to hunt him down for years… a mystery and an enigma #god I’m so sleep deprived #hannibal: tell me will did you like taking hobbs’ oranges? did it make you feel alive? #will: I am who I’ve always been #this is my worst post #hannibal #nbc hannibal #will graham #hannigram #ghost speaks

things.. uh... Gentry era au

#witch hat tag #orufrey #i wanted to leave the first images separate but it means they're not looking at each other any more......This aint right #i was reading pride & prejudice and what if oru was like a Mr darcy type figure. yeah. sure #is miss qifrey going to kidnap the 4 poor orphan children whom he is governess to. We can all live in mr oru's estate <3 #There will always be four there will never end up just being 3 i will make it be 4 i will rescue coco in every lifetime. #have thought how qifrey is a bit like mr rochester (jane eyre) though what with keeping secrets and going blind. anyway #maybe that's just because i wrote my fic and the idea of a combination of betrayal of trust & increased disability sits heavy here #& the sadness about how fictional disability often exists alongside narrative punishment and how i fear for qifrey every day and i love him #one good thing about posting art online again is that i really had little drive to bother scribbling little comic type things just for me #then there are things i feel less inclined to draw now that im in Posting mode again. oh life is very mysterious is it not

WAIT TALON LOSES HIS WRINKLAGE WHEB HES FED?

Yeas ^_^ talon was turned when he was like 29 but even then he had a youthful/baby face. His default form looks something like dis (im still figuring it out, i dont draw him Young often for character reasons)

he doesn't like that he never gets to age, mostly after experiencing abuse under the assumption that he was even younger than he looks, so he forgoes feeding (the vampiric fountain of youth) so he can look old all the time to feel safer, be taken seriously etc (dis is also why he always looks uncomfortable when i draw him Unwrinkled, he feels unguarded and exposed)

He could just shapeshift to look however he wants when he's fed but it means needing to feed more often, he likes his Aged appearance to feel "Natural" and also well. Punishing himself, because sometimes disordered eating and other behaviors that can and do stem from abuse are just like that

#oc text #plucked directly from the 2 unsettling times in my life i had guys hit on me and be #disappointed that i wasnt actually um extremely underaged. lol. lol. lol. #the rest is all unique to him #anonymous #skunk mail #and also why when i draw him fed he's always wearing big clothess and he doesnt wear lipstick which is usually #the only thing talon does to put effort into his appearance #i actually genuinely still dont know how talon feels about his old body #which is why i keep putting him in long sleeved clothes with multiple layers even when hes Old #i used to draw him more in revealing clothing but that whole area is enshrouded in mystery to me rn #bc idk his true feelings on it
