#magical being is tortured

[thatgenderfluidmonstrosity]

A character who is magical, and maybe the last of their species

They are lost somehow, maybe down on their luck, when a few commoners from a Village take them in and help them

They are welcomed by the village, and with their powers, they help the people

Maybe after a storm they can help rebuild houses, or grow plants during a harsh drought

Over the years, their powers are harvested to keep the village going

They are less of a helper, and more servant

They live a lot longer than the regular humans, so generations go by

And they are kind, and compassionate

And they can’t say no to these people, the ones that took them in

They owe this to them.

…Right?

So, they are thrown away into the darkness, and their powers are harvested

The village becomes town- the town a city and so forth

It grows and changes, but they remain the same

A while after, a lone explorer comes along, needing help just as the magical figure did.

They were helped, but only by the poorer people of the land

They were told stories of this- mythical being that powers the city

There’s no way something like that actually exists…right?

deranged picnic

#obsessed with how this game manages to maintain a consistent utterly unhinged vibe for its entire runtime. #this scene is immediately followed by him receiving a letter from his girlfriend saying she's breaking up with him. #he gets the letter from an eldritch abomination in the form of his mentor's face on the body of dead dog as it turns into magic dust. #also his gf broke up with him because he wasn't returning any of her messages while he was being tortured in a dungeon for four years. #which is actually how he finds out it's been four years. he's been under the impression that it's been like. 2 weeks lol #the guy on the left is perfectly alive and monologuing the whole time. #and he happens to be the same guy that made clones of himself and went on a crusade to eat chunks of the protagonist's hair. #sighh..... crisis core my beloved........ #(derogatory) #my art <3 #ffvii #crisis core #oh god i forgot his scar. nobody look. don't look. you don't see shit.

harry definitely not heterosexual potter is the funniest thing to me because i literally cannot remember a single time in the book where he thinks “i should probably be nervous about draco trying to kill me because i am literally convinced that he is willingly working with voldemort.” no. he was like “oh draco? yeah he is definitely working for voldemort and he is so evil because did you see the way he is combing his hair now? probably switched shampoo. he would never change conditioner, that thing works wonders. what do you mean, this is common knowledge. anyway, he is so evil and definitely working for voldy. but of course he won’t kill me, are you crazy? who would he talk to across the great hall? like literally you don’t even understand.” and everyone just WENT WITH IT.

Hahahahaha I KNOW! Would he feel this safe around literally any other person who he suspected of being in league with Voldemort? I think tf not!

Even once Draco has Harry incapacitated and totally at his mercy on the train Harry at no point thinks that he's in danger. Even after Draco breaks his nose he doesn't think it. After that incident Harry still is all 'can't wait to break into the Room of Requirement BY MYSELF while Draco is in there so I can see what secret evil mission he's working on for Voldemort' and at no point does he worry that going in without backup could end badly. And HE'S RIGHT. When Draco has Harry at his mercy he never seriously harms him and risks everything multiple times in book 7 to protect him. This is NOT Harry seeing Draco with rose tinted glasses. This is Harry deeply and intimately understanding that Draco will not hurt him and feeling comfortable around him on an instinctual level despite every reason he has not to.

And let's not forget why Harry finally stops investigating Draco in 6th year. It's not because he decides he's wrong about his whole "Draco is a Death Eater on a mission from Voldemort" theory nor is it because he gets worried that since Draco is a Death Eater on a mission from Voldemort looking into this could get Harry or his friends hurt. No. He stops because his investigation leads to Draco getting hurt. And Harry is so horrified by this that he completely backs off and gives up trying to stop the super secret evil mission from Voldemort that Harry is sure Draco is on. Harry is like 'foiling an evil plot masterminded by Voldemort himself isn't worth it if it could lead to me hurting Draco.' He really said 'I can excuse putting myself in mortal danger on a regular basis to stop Voldemort's plots but I draw the line at Draco being upset.' In canon.

And yeah Harry cares about people in general but not to this extent. When Umbridge gets carried off by centaurs Harry doesn't even think of going after her. He's just like 'lmao bye bitch.' He straight up KILLS Quirrell in first year and when he finds out he's like 'well that sucks for him.' Tons of Death Eaters get hurt and maimed at the Department of Mysteries and Harry never even stops to check if they're ok. In second year he forces Lockhart to enter the Chamber of Secrets first in case there's a Basilisk waiting at the bottom of the chute.

But anytime he sees Draco in danger he does whatever he can to help without even thinking about it. From the time in first year in the Forbidden Forest when he immediately throws his arm out to stop Draco walking towards Voldemort to 7th year when he risks his own life and that of his friends to pull him out of the fiendfyre and reveals his presence while running through the battle so he can stun a Death Eater threatening Draco. And he does it automatically, without a second thought because Harry can't fathom a world where he wouldn't protect Draco.

#this ask made me lol so much. it's so. SO true. #(I'm now imagining Harry being like Doug from Up going “Squirrel!” but about Draco every time he sees him. Oh wait. That's canon.) #Shoutout to the time Harry sees Draco forced to torture Rowle and is horrified because of how upset and scared Draco is #and doesn't even think about Rowle at all. #Can you imagine him telling Rona and Hermione about it like 'it was horrible'. #'Yeah I guess even though Rowle is a Death Eater he didn't deserve-' #Rowle? Who cares about him? He was just getting tortured. The point is Draco felt bad about it.' #Also. Nose breaking is pretty minor given that 1) in the magical world mundane injuries can be easily fixed and #2) Draco is a literal Death Eater. #And later Draco risks everything to save Harry's life at the Manor. #He also alerts Harry to his presence in the Room of Requirement #tries to stop Crabbe & Goyle from killing or hurting him #and doesn't call Voldemort or tell anyone he's seen Harry. #asks #Draco Malfoy #Harry Potter #drarry #drarry in canon #hpdm #h/d #harco #harry x draco #harry/draco #drarry meta #drarry g

Betty is so relatable I would do the same shit for my wife

#simon petrikov #original #at #the moment where she declares that she's jumping into the future to save him. just pure save-husband impulse #and maybe she made the wrong choice but I felt the emotion in my gut and that's good tragedy baby #I would do the same thing and then be in the future and realize I probably fucked up but also what else could I do but #devote my entire life and sanity to saving her after I have destroyed every other option?? #it's not healthy necessarily but a fucking apocalypse happened and her wife is in eternal torment. what else could she possibly do?? #I'm just obsessed with the attitude she has towards saving him and how it turns from joyful heroism to unhealthy obsession #I have a much healthier relationship with my wife. but also she's never been driven mad by a magical crowd for a thousand years! #and Betty did it!! y'all can argue about whether Ice King was better than Simon and I think he must make peace with every part of himself #but it is extremely consistent in the original series that being Ice King is basically this existentially horrifying Eternal torture #so the fact that someone who loved him decided they would save him from that at all costs is very sad and very beautiful #beautiful because no one deserves to suffer forever. tragic because she was far to willing to take his place if she had to. #betty grof #fionna and cake #golbetty #golb #*driven mad by a magical crown #you forgot your floaties #edit: upon rewatching every episode with betty in it i will say i don't think i would be so hellbent on murdering the person she had become #betty does act selfishly and it makes her character more compelling #but i like to think if my wife went banana-pants ice-king-level bonkers i would be able to love that version of her too #but who's to say whether this story would be the reason I responded differently? #it's a good story

Somebody asked me to talk about the misconception that Loki is always trying to kill Thor, so here are some thoughts.

When Loki and Thor are children, Thor is the one who expresses bloodlust: "I'll hunt the monsters down and slay them all". We can infer from this scene that Loki was not violent or murderous as a child (unlike a certain scene in Thor: Ragnarok would suggest which, let it be remembered, was completely improvised and therefore not written with Loki's actual character in mind).

Loki never expresses a desire to kill Thor (except on Svartalfheim, and we all know that was a trick).

The closest he comes to this is his command to the Destroyer: "Ensure my brother does not return. Destroy everything." Notice how direct the latter part of the sentence is, while the former is vague and left up to interpretation. This is a partial reach, but I wonder if Loki wouldn't have just told the Destroyer to kill Thor if that's what he really wanted.

Loki had the opportunity to use the Destroyer's death ray on Thor, and he didn't. He chose to slap him instead. Yes, this proved to be nearly fatal, but he could have been much more direct. The Destroyer is a literal killing machine.

Even knowing Thor was mortal, I sincerely doubt Loki believed he would actually die. To Loki, Thor has always been his strong and unbeatable older brother. He has probably seen him mortally wounded hundreds of times and it was probably impossible to imagine him dying from a slap.

Remember that at this point, Loki has no reason to believe that Thor won't try to kill him as soon as he finds out he's Jotun. Thor had been happily killing hundreds of Frost Giants just the week before, and had likely been doing so for the last several hundred years. So even in this "him or me" situation, in the midst of a mental breakdown, moments away from attempting genocide, Loki isn't able to directly attempt to kill Thor.

Loki never even comes close to killing Thor at any other point in the films. They fight on Bifrost, but they're fighting more for control of the mechanism here than with intent to hurt (let alone kill) each other.

In the Avengers, Loki doesn't even pretend to try. He stabs Thor once with a tiny dagger that looks like it affected Thor as much as a bee sting.

In TDW he takes it a step further and sacrifices himself for Thor (or at least tries to). Is the opposite of trying to kill someone trying to die to save them? I feel like it might be.

In Ragnarok he tries to... turn him over to the Grandmaster? I guess? And we get the snake story, but like I already said, that was improv done with no regard for Loki's actual character. And then Loki literally saves the entirety of the Asgardian people and supports Thor becoming king which doesn't seem very murderous to me.

In Infinity War he sacrifices himself for real this time, first throwing away a goddamn INFINITY STONE to tackle Thor to the ground with no thought for his wellbeing and then having the life choked out of him by his greatest fear and tormentor and also oh my god it's been FOUR films since the last time he sort of maybe subjectively tried to kill Thor and he's been actively trying to save him in three of those

This got a bit long and rambly but yeah. No matter how you look at it, Loki's attempt-to-kill-Thor count is either one or zero. That simply doesn't add up to any number high enough to qualify as him "constantly" trying to kill his brother. Also his attempt-to-save-Thor count is by my calculations AT LEAST six, and that's only on-screen and obviously not counting the hundreds of years they spent together before this.

#loki #loki meta #thor ragnarok critical #loki deserves better #loki did nothing wrong #i don't know how people still think of him as a villain #there's a HUGE difference between a villain and a misguided person #loki's mistakes are on a grander scale because he's the prince of a magical alien world where battles are commonplace #but by the standards of his own people his actions are not even *that* bad #not saying he didn't do terrible things #but that's not due to him being a uniquely terrible or villainous person #it's due to his fucked up circumstances and shitty cultural indoctination and years of abuse and THEN familial betrayal on a massive scale #and THEN torture and brainwashing #(because he hadn't already suffered enough ig) #absolutely baffling to me how the average viewer sees him as a villain just because he *checks notes* #wears dark colors has a cryptic way of speaking has strong emotions and did bad things under duress #mainstream audience treatment of loki parallels asgard's treatment of loki #and it's FUCKED UP #anyways

just a reminder that murtagh compares the way he should approach a child to the way he'd approach horses.

... as an alternative to dragon rider, he considers being a mercenary and/or surgeon for paid employment (maybe this can be used for crossovers where dragon riders won't make much sense).

... never had someone teach him the ways of magic (properly) sure galbatorix showed him this and that but ha ☝️ you'd be a fool to believe he taught him more than was the absolute and bare minimum. sometimes he still needs to get creative for 'basic' use of magic.

#i don't particularly like when murtagh is compared to eragon or any proper magic wielder bc you CAN'T you can't compare them #it doesn't make sense and they weren't trained under the same conditions #of course murtagh is weaker by default he didn't have sane experienced riders at his disposal who were mentoring him with good intentions #and in profound detail - no - he got the abusive ones with the combined energy of mad dragon souls ! #on top of that ... perhaps he had like what? half a year max? to practice etc. to go from 0 to 100 #and only had limited and restricted access to all things concerning magic while 'occasionally' being mentally and physically tortured #the energy the dragon souls provided was too much for him and yet he was forced to use it #even though the soreness would leave him paralysed sometimes?? imagine that feeling #while being a captive of the man who makes your life a living hell? please.....🖐️🖐️🖐️ #yes he's usually physically weak(er) as well BECAUSE GUESS WHAT?? points to the above #doesn't mean he can't ever be stronger ─ in the future ─ with time ─ and experience ─ he is a mental fortress though #and you can't change my mind but that's another essay #stories:murtagh. #° › OOC ‹ 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 * out of character ╲ MUN .

"The sight is unnatural, but I can look pass the form to the spirit within. You did this for all of us. I am indebted, not repulsed."

I assume this line is about an Illithid Tav/durge from Halsin. But it does give me some good potential for him with my Clone guy from ff15. That and him mentioning that the Steel watch is unnatural and bad. Both good for angst and hurt comfort.

Any suggestions for what I would draw though? Cause while I have a confession scene pictured in my mind that would have to be a comic and maybe features too many talking heads? Clone guy would have been converted into a cyborg soldier if he hadn't escaped.

#Halsin #halsin bg3 #give this man some science experiments to cherish time #ffxv crossover #Adam the ardyn clone #He looks late twenties #and has a service dog for ptsd #escaped after some grueling torture and training before being deemed a failure #cause none of the royal magic

i got the okay from my professor to write historically accurate fanfiction about witches in the 1500s for an assignment and i’m trying to figure out a way to write about the Wittebane brothers without making it too obvious or based too much/little in toh universe…….

#like i can’t just state that there’s a whole different joyous dimension that witches come from cause that’s not how it acctually happened #unless you mean Hell but that’s still not really correct #in the Middle Ages in Central and Anglo Europe there was definitely some belief of an Other World where magical beings can come from #but humans practicing magic goes back and forth of being tolerable to executable #and the time period i’m dealing with here is not so happy go lucky hehe fun witches #if Evalene didn’t have a portal to go back to or weaponry magical powers then she would’ve been caught and hanged lol #‘real’ witches were accused of playing offence rather than defense #what we see as objectively defensive acts (resisting torture or not answering questions) #were taken as offensive attacks on God and community #Phillip Wittebane would have a blast as an inquisitor and scribe in court. he loooved manipulation and torture #toh #i should post my previous writing assignment cause apparently (according to my friends who i read it aloud to) it’s really well written lol #it’s about a gay woman falling in love with a feminine spirit and using magic to call upon her and run away with her #anyways

The unique struggle of writing a fic for Baldur's Gate or Critical Role and having to decide whether you are going to stick to rules as written or just make up your own rules for how magic works because something in the rpg rules conflicts with the story you want to tell.

#critical role #bg3 #look i just want to give a character lingering injuries that can't be easily healed #because i feel like being dead #and also tortured by one of the dead three #is likely to leave you permanently fucked up #but rules as written i'm pretty sure none of that damage should stick around through true resurrection #especially since technically his body wasn't even there #so i'm suffering trying to decide how to justify what i want to do within the established magic system

Thinking about a “the good place” revenge of magic au….

#like basically the idea of fort and Cyrus being paired as ‘soulmates’ to torture each other #but end up changing each other for the better :’) #same thing with Rachel and jia <3333 #more realistically I think Cyrus would be like Michael who’s in control of everything but I also like the idea of him and Fort as soulmates #revenge of magic #the revenge of magic #the good place

It's difficult to describe growing up my entire life thinking my copy of All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 was in fact simply All Dogs Go To Heaven.

The last thing I remember from this property was watching An All Dogs Christmas Carol.

I have located the first movie, which I have never seen.

THE TONE SHIFT. IS. RATHER JARRING, FOLKS.

Imagine if you always thought that The Secret of Nimh 2 was the actual movie The Secret of Nimh... and then one day you saw the original.

#original #all dogs go to heaven #don bluth #dom deluise #what the FUCK is going on?? did this dog jusf a #*did this dog just ADOPT A HUMAN CHILD #I'll be honest I'm skimming because I'm afraid of getting too sad right before bed. #it is by its nature about dogs dying so #but also it about HELL maybe #so #I mean so is the 2nd one but there were some weird 90s animated animal sequel Vibes that are a different flavor to this #this is like some secret of nimh shit. don bluth you old rascal you! #as I remember at the original secret of nimh is a super dark intense SCARY animated kids movie that I grew up on and have fond feelings on #and the sequel to this chilling tale of animal experimentation and mutation and torture and magic... #a big ol' MUSICAL with funny animal friends! - mind you it has been a minute... #the secret of nimh #secret of nimh #I remember the animation being fucking beautiful. I'll have to check it out again. #okay great [sarcasm] it's time for some racist animation bc ofc it is. skipping ahead to cat satan.... #oh jesus even on fast forward this is very bad #this dog is her dad i giess #*i guess #that's fine. i mean he's a bad father but #is Charlie a fucking mob boss what is happening i skipped too far ahead i will watch it thru later the edibles haaave hit #omg charlie is a terrible father #unrelated but the way they animate this anthro dog in this movie would have turned me into a furry for sure if i had seen it as a kid #which if anything is a missed opportunity. I'd probably be a better artist if i was! someday they'll accept my application...😤 #these dogs are gay

[meat-pvppet]

just remembered an old post i made (or maybe someone else made it i dont remember) about the moonscorches and like "haha what if they were all just vibing and living together in prehevil after everything like a sitcom" and now im thinking about how thatd go for the Prisoner (elias' moonscorch)

#i think hed die of malnutrition after a while cuz of his head not being connected to his body anymore n what not #but like #i dont see it as impossible for rher to have some kind of magical “your gonna live through this torture forever” rule with the moonscorches #where they cant die like that #so i can just imagine this semi lucid lil guy walking around prehevil #maybe someone was oh so kind enough to take off the mask on his head so he can kinda sorta not look like hes always in pain #(he still is) #probably have a tussle with pocketdaan whenever they bump into eachother cuz idk he just sets off the horrid vibe meter too much for #prisoner #and maybe pocketdaan would have fun with it and cut his arms off for the goofy sillies (prisoner can always put them back anyway) #idk #braindump #i love getting back into funger its like a dam of neurodivergence bursts in my brain #.txt

Honestly even the first time through you suspect that this is probably Ashura shenanigans, but KNOWING for SURE that this really is Ashura shenanigans? And that this isn’t even Fai’s brother? It’s just a magical construct that Ashura created SPECIFICALLY to torture and shatter Fai in the way he knows will be the most hurtful?

IT’S PAIN

#But also: Ashura zipping around the palace before Fai's arrival #making sure everything's in the right place for the most efficient torture #creating an entire new magical being to stand around and talk to Fai #double checking to make sure he's standing in the most dramatic spot #testing the accoustings #And then just waiting for his arrival #by staring at the door and smiling #maybe even for hours #Tsubasa catch up chronicle #Tsubasa #catch up seresu #Catch Up T155

i made a bunch of random oc doodles recently (and i wanna make more), so i will be spamming your dashes with my sillies for a couple of days ^^
