I try to avoid reblogging things to this account - that's what my main blog is for. If you see a reblog on here, feel free to let me know so I can delete it!

I handle all commissions through my professional email, artcommissionsbyred (at) gmail (dot) com. For the foreseeable future, my commissions are closed.

Main Blog: @bitegore

Rules of Engagement:

This is a sideblog. I have a lot of people blocked from my main blog, none of which are blocked from this blog. It's okay if you've been blocked from my main for you to reblog from this sideblog - I have genuinely thousands of people blocked, for reasons that are arcane and sometimes really stupid even to me, and if you behave in a rude or unpleasant manner I'll just block you from this blog when it comes up. Go nuts.

This blog contains quite a bit of adult-oriented art, all of which is both marked "mature" using Tumblr's content settings and tagged accordingly. Please browse at your own discretion, and remember to use filtering options where necessary.

In general, off-topic commentary in the reblogs, tags, and replies is totally fine and I like seeing what you guys have to say even when it's not directly about the art. That being said, please do not talk about either how much you hate the character in the art or think the art looks bad. "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything" is a good rule to live by, and also it's annoying and rude. Likewise, don't put discourse on my posts. I don't want to hear about it. If you have an opinion about the characters or art that is negative, feel free to make your own post! You can even add my art to it (with a link to this page) if you really want to talk about the art in particular.

Please repost my work only with credit (a link back to this page). Use of my art for avatars, header/sidebar banner images, edits, remixes, collages, and related is entirely okay as long as credit is given. My canon character redesigns are also completely free to use and no credit is required as long as you've done the actual drawing yourself. If you're using my art for something, I'd like to hear about it, but it's not required - it's just really flattering. Please do not remove my captions, however. Just make a repost.

If you want to print one of my pieces for personal use, feel free to reach out to me! I will happily re-color/re-balance the colors so that it will print nicely if I have the time, free of charge. If you want one of my pieces tattooed, go for it, consider this blanket permission. I'd be surprised and I'd love to hear about it, and also I have no qualms at all. Go for it.

Everything is okay to tag as kin/id/etc or claim as muse references. Have fun with it, I don't care. This goes for my ocs too, I really couldn't care less. However, if you disagree on characterization from what I've drawn, please don't tell me about it.

Obligatory "don't be bigoted." This is a racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, xenophobia, religious discrimination, and everything else-free zone. I'm not perfect, and therefore if I've created something that comes over wrong, you are more than welcome to voice your opinion on that, but please approach me in private first*, and message me on my main blog rather than the sideblog as I actually check that account.

Feel free to ask me to tag for more than I currently tag for- either for search reasons or to be able to more easily filter things. I may refuse to use certain tags at my discretion.

#photo overpainting - art where I saw a cool photo and painted something into it without repainting the entire photo from scratch, so large chunks were not made by me.

#animation - animated work (typically short looping gifs), stuff where the characters move

#animated effects - animated work where elements move, but the characters are static - flickering light effects, stuff like that.

#meme redraw - art made in the style of a meme. Sometimes this is entirely redrawn and sometimes it's a photo overpainting.

#gift art - art made for other people for free or with minimal direction

#commission - art made on commission with significant input from the client

*Why do this in private? There are a number of reasons: the first, and most relevant, that it means other people aren't going to randomly jump in and change the subject, so we can have an actual conversation rather than something that comes over more like a random accusation I may not fully understand out of the blue. Secondly, I have a solid handful of followers that I expect would probably defend me, and you don't need people jumping down your throat for "attacking" a person they like, especially if you're right but even if I think you're wrong. I also don't want to deal with that. Finally, I don't like being stuck between trying to understand more and feeling like I have to "save face" because the latter is bad for actually learning and growing as a person. I - of course - still do my best to learn in public, but without the pressure of a significant amount of outside observers it's easier for me to form an initial response and have a normal conversation. You can always take it public later, if you're convinced I've done something wrong and won't make amends. At that point I'm sure we're just going to be enemies so asking you not to is gonna go nowhere lmao. I take bigotry and my own biases seriously, but it's possible that after we discuss and I do some of my own research, we may come to different conclusions as to the relative problems with a certain depiction, discussion, or behavior. This is a normal part of socializing. Please give me the grace of holding a conversation with me first before jumping to getting on my case publicly. (If you're scared of reprisal, first of all, don't be because I don't like to do that, but secondly, you can just make a throwaway account to message me with. It's easy.)

The Korekiyo Take

I'll be making a post just to spell out how I see things. This will be linked in my other response post.

I can't stress enough that this does not mean that I do not acknowledge other interpretations. Nothing about Korekiyo is confirmed one way or another, this is just how I see it.

I recognize that this is a very unpopular opinion, and that the fanon consensus is very different. However, please remember that again, nothing is confirmed one way or another.

Under a cut for mentions of inc/st.

I feel the need to preface this by saying that bedridden people absolutely can and do abuse others. However, I don't think that this is what happened here.

The way I see it is that by definition their relationship cannot be equal power, as his sister was hospitalized and so sick that she could not make any friends. In addition, it's very likely that their age difference is not as big as fans say it is. Shinguuji himself says "when we were young" insinuating a similar age, and in his flashback (the one where the two are together and naked) they still look around the same age. That's all we get as info on their age.

When you think about it, a sick dying girl who could never make friends to the point where is her dying wish is to have those friends (in a way that got completely misinterpreted by her brother) is not going to be on the majority side of a power imbalance, especially not to the degree popularized in fanon.

This isn't to say that fault doesn't lie on her, let that be stated: It's clear that she knew something was immoral with their relationship, because she says it should be a secret while Shinguuji, a lover of taboo, says it should be public.

It's much more likely to me that she was lonely and desperate, saw her brother's obsessive, unhealthy affection for her, and decided to lean into it and encourage it. This can also be seen by her refusal to call Shinguuji her friend. He is her "lover and brother", but not friend, because a part of her still dreams of actually having that. Both of them are unhealthy, and need severe help.

This does not mean that what either of them did was okay, moral, or excusable.

While she has some power and influence in the awful aspects of their relationship, however, a majority of it comes from Shinguuji. She only has her words, which affect his obsession (and again, while emotional manipulation is absolutely in play here, that is not the only factor). Shinguuji could at any moment leave her there and she wouldn't be able to do anything about it from her hospital bed.

Again, this also isn't to say that bedridden people cannot abuse others or that emotional abuse and manipulation do not exist. They absolutely can, that is not a question. However, I don't think that this is what happened here--In addition to everything else stated above, Korekiyo has other issues that make me think that this isn't the only immoral thing he's willing to do. (See: His love hotel.)

He also has a fascination with the taboo. I think this is part of the reason the writers made the choice for him to be into incest--Korekiyo wants to push human moral standards to see how far they can bend. His whole gimmick is pushing the limits on what is accepted.

To sum it up: The widely-accepted fanon interpretation is that everything was his sister's fault. I don't believe this to be true. While mutual abuse doesn't exist, I do think the relationship was horrible and unhealthy from both ends, with both parties actively contributing and escalating the situation.

Again, I'm not saying any conflicting interpretations are bad. We really don't have a whole lot of evidence either way! I am more than willing to agree to disagree on many topics, this being one of them.

I do not have a problem with people saying his sister was a bad person, or with people disagreeing with me. The way I see it, she definitely leaned into and encouraged his obsession with her. My issue is people pretending like he has done no wrong and refusing to listen to any other perspective on the matter to the point of insisting their take is completely canon.

I've been rewatching ATLA several times lately and this time I especially ended up wondering a lot about Iroh and Ozai's past and characters in general. I just can't help but think it weird that Ozai is the ultimate trashbag of a humanbeing while Iroh ended up preaching harmony and peace. It just doesn't make any sense. These guys are brothers. They were brought up by the same parents, in the same fascist imperialistic nation, they were taught the same values growing up. You're trying to tell me the difference is that Iroh was destined to be the person he eventually came to be, but Ozai was just born evil? No, I don't think so.

I have two hot takes that I'm gonna elaborate:

1. Iroh had a guidance Ozai lacked

2. Ozai was the less favored son

(Disclaimer: I haven't read the comics yet so I don't know how deep they've already gone into this subject at some point. I'm trying to interpret and analyze the stuff that I got from the animated series only. If anything I say contradicts what has already been confirmed in the comics, feel free to correct me.)

Hear me out. Iroh wasn't born a saint. Everyone is aware of this, especially Iroh himself. He laid siege to Ba Sing Se for 2 years, costing the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom thousands of lives. Everyone knew that if the Fire Nation took over the capital, it meant almost ultimate victory for the Fire Nation. He even went as far as making a offhand sadistic jokes about burning the city to the ground in that letter to Zuko and Azula.

Iroh acknowledges it himself; He was a different man.

So what changed?

Yes, his son died. It broke and shattered him from the inside, making him drop all efforts to continue fighting in the war. To continue what had been his lifelong ambition, what he believed to be his destiny. He had a literal vision about taking over Ba Sing Se when he was a child, and that had been what he'd been pursuing ever since. But the death of his son managed to crumble all of that into nothingness. How is that possible?

Don't get me wrong. I think it's completely valid. I just don't understand how Lu Ten and Iroh could've had such a loving and caring relationship in the first place, when that's clearly something unusual among the royal family. Ozai burned and banished Zuko without a second thought, not to mention all the other shit he did to him growing up. Ozai didn't give two shits about Azula either, he only ever intended to use her as his weapon. Doesn't seem too surprising, if you ask me. Azulon didn't hesitate to demand that Ozai kill his own son if he wanted the throne. That's the man that raised Ozai, so it's just logical that Ozai learned that behavior and those values from his own father.

Even 9 year old Azula thinks it laughable that Iroh would fall apart at the death of his son. She is a child and this is how she thinks. The reason Zuko doesn't think like this is because he's had the guidance of his mother, unlike Azula. This is the kind of mentality these kids grow up with. They grew up with war and so did Iroh and Ozai.

So why was Iroh's relationship with Lu Ten so different? Where did Iroh experience the kind of compassion and love he passed on to his own son, that Ozai definitely didn't? People act on how they've come to learn, so where did Iroh learn to care about his son to a point that it made him give up on his lifelong ambition?

Let's review a very crucial information we have on Iroh and Ozai as siblings: They have a huge age gap.

Frankly, I'm guessing about 10-20 years. Looks more like 20 to me, but that could also be Iroh's greater amount of endured pain and war making him look older than he actually is. But no one can deny that an age gap is definitely there. Which can also indicate they had different upbringings, despite having grown up in the same family as brothers.

What does this mean? Well, that's just me theorizing now, but I can definitely imagine that Iroh had someone, a family member maybe, there for him who wasn't around or didn't care to be when Ozai grew up. There must've been someone there who gave Iroh emotional security and guidance throughout his upbringing. Who? That's up to imagination. A friend of the family? A friendly uncle? His own mother ((or father))? (The last two things worked out for Zuko in the end, didn't they?) Otherwise I can't really explain myself why Iroh had enough values to love the way he loved Lu Ten, while Ozai clearly didn't give two fucks about his children at any point in his life.

Iroh was the firstborn son, the one who had a vision very early in his life that his destiny was to take over Ba Sing Se. Probably the one who got to have a family member care about him enough to show him how to love.

(I like to point this out a lot because I find it very interesting, and very significant. Please A:TLA give us more info on Iroh's past!!)

Which brings me to my second take: Ozai was the less favored son.

Iroh was clearly a son to be proud of. He was a master firebender, the "Dragon of the West", if you will. He apparently had a vision as a boy that he'd conquer the most "impenetrable city" in the world. He probably lived up to his parent's expectations for his whole life, especially having no sibling to be compared to for a significant part of his life. He broke through the outter wall of Ba Sing Se during his siege. Yada yada yada, you get my point. He's the best son they could've wished for.

And Ozai? As far as I know, he barely even has any military achievements. Taking over Ba Sing Se was Azula's doing. While Iroh laid siege to the capital, he was at home chilling in the palace. He's the younger brother to an established hero and was never meant to be firelord. Now, I haven't read the comics for more info on Ozai's biography, but this man barely had a chance to live up to his parent's standards with Iroh as an older brother. If my theory is correct, Ozai also didn't have any person to provide him emotional guidance throughout his life. (*cough* like Azula)

The logical outcome is: infinite jealousy.

And when Ozai suggests to Azulon that he revoke Iroh's birthright to become firelord, this is Azulon's answer:

Azulon doesn't even hesitate to call Ozai out on his bullshit. He doesn't hesitate to take offense at the suggestion of betraying Iroh, and he even seems to care about Iroh's suffering. Not to mention that Azulon is overall annoyed with Ozai's request for an audience and sends the rest of Ozai's family away as soon as he can, to get whatever it is Ozai wants over with.

I could also mention the fact that Ozai tried to impress Azulon with his daughter's skills (Azula, even named after him) and the overall strained relationship these two seem to exhibit. It's obviously very different from Azulon's relationship with Iroh, if the way he talks about said man is anything to show for.

What if Azulon treated Ozai the same way Ozai treated Zuko? (Probably without the physical abuse, but you get my point.) What if this is where Ozai learned to treat a "useless" kid like shit, maybe also in a way to cope with how he was treated himself?

Getting deeper into the fact that Ozai is rather a loser compared to Iroh, without any big military achievements and without value for anything beyond that, this also explains a lot about Ozai's constant need to establish his dominance.

First; Becoming Firelord through radical manners (you know, killing his own son or killing his own father)

Second; Publicly burning and banishing his own son whom he considers a weakling, who dared to speak up in his war room. Doing this to have everyone know that he doesn't associate himself with weakness and that he will not ever tolerate any form of disrespect.

Third; The whole Phoenix King act. No one can tell me this isn't a madman's doing. This is literally to show off that he is the most powerful person in the world.

Ozai is so obsessed with proving himself and his superiority to everyone, including himself and probably Iroh too. This makes most sense if we consider that he probably lived in his brother's shadow for his whole life, ignored by probably every guiding figure he's ever had in his life, maybe even considered a laughingstock by his own father.

Perhaps this is also the reason Ozai didn't have any problem with Iroh accompanying Zuko in banishment. His brother, the hero in whose shadow he grew up, and his son, the failure he'd wanted out of the way for a long time already. It would erase Iroh's image that made him superior to him, once and for all. For himself and the world. I believe that branding him a traitor was the biggest satisfaction Ozai had ever experienced in his life.

I absolutely despise Ozai with every fibre of my heart, but it amazes me how ATLA continues to leave so much room for interpretation and explanation for a character as despicable as him. Writing this, even had me feel sympathy for him at some point. Feel free to disagree with me or add anything, I'm eager to hear everyone's thoughts about Ozai and Iroh's backstories because I'm geniuinely very curious.

Russian Roulette - Pt. 4

In this series, you will find: Alternative Universe, Soulmate plot, Angst, Fluff. In this chapter, you will find: Things finally make sense, and now you can fight. Word count: 2.069 Pairings: Reader x Platonic! Scott and Stiles Original characters of this chapter: Haytham, your brand new mentor. Warnings: English is not my main language <3 Yeah, it was based on Russian Roulette by Rihanna Russian Roulette series: Chapter Three | Chapter Five RUSSIAN ROULETTE MASTERLIST TEEN WOLF MASTERLIST

It wasn't hard to find the address the lady wrote you. That address took you to the limits of Beacon Hills, in a lonely and old church on the top of a hill. The wooden doors were open, so you came in.

"Hello? Mr. Haytham Conwell?"

You aren't seeing anybody. Actually, the church was pretty silent. Maybe you came to the wrong place...

"I've never seen you here."

You turn and see an old man, with an eyeglass on his face. He seems so confused as you.

"Oh, hi, good morning!" You give him a smile "I'm (Y/N). Do you know where I can find Mr. Haytham Conwell?"

"I am Haytham Conwell, lady. What do you need in the lord's house?"

Oh, you found him!

"Someone told me you can help me to find answers."

"What kind of answers?"

"A few friends of mine were hiding a secret, but now..." You let out a long sigh "I think this secret is worse than I thought. I mean, maybe you'll think I'm insane and-"

"Who sent you here?"

His expression became darker and, despite thinking about how an old priest could help you, you tell him the story about the ginger woman at the restaurant. Haytham's eyes become wider, scared.

"Show me your arms." He said, commanding.

You look at him, completely confused. What does he want to see in your arms?

"What?"

"Now!"

It was your turn to widen your eyes. You take off your jacket and show your empty arms for him. Haytham narrowed his eyes. To see your arms wasn't enough for him.

"Follow me." He ordered.

Without saying any word more, you'd followed him through the spiral stairs, going upstairs. He pulls an old key from his pocket and opened an old wooden door, revealing a huge library. Haytham points to a mirror that was close to a few tables.

"Go there, to the mirror. I need to see your back."

You blink your eyes repeatedly, without understanding why he needs all of this. Well, considering that a lot of things you don't understand have been happening, you had just obeyed him. You stopped in front of the mirror and Haytham stopped close to you, pulling your shirt a little up.

"Ha! I knew it the moment I saw you! The Devil's Mark!"

Your eyes go to the mirror.

"Oh my God. I haven't seen it before."

It was red lines through your spine, just like someone had slid nails on your skin. However, that lines were forming a quote. Haytham read it.

"Ad Lunae Lumina!"

You pull your shirt down, scared.

"What does it mean?"

"It means 'In the Moonlight', in Latin. Selene let a mark on you. More will be appearing with the time. Your mark is still being created. When it finishes, it will be like this."

Haytham pulls his shirt up and shows you his mark. However, his marks were different: Instead of red lines, he had black lines - just like a tattoo, with the same quote as you.

You sat on the chair close to you. What the hell?!

"What are all of this? I can't understand!"

He pulls his shirt down and sits in the chair in front of you.

"One step at the time, child. I think you should learn the basics first. The ginger woman was the only strange thing you saw?"

You denied with a shake of your head and begun to tell about the things that happened on the night of the party. He hit the table, making you jump in the chair.

"Werewolves!"

"I thought werewolves were just Hollywood things."

"No, they're not. Stay away from that friend of yours, stay away from Derek. They are Devil servants. I know it, I've been fighting against these creatures my entire life."

"But they saved my life!"

"They just want to kill you themselves! Never, ever, believe them. Come on, I'll show you something."

He got up from the chair and begun to walk between the bookshelves while you were following him. Haytham stopped in front of a huge bookshelf. He pulls a book, and both bookshelves open like a door. You'd never thought things like that would be in a church.

"Wow."

When the secret door was open, you saw an entire gun arsenal. Guns, grenades... Haytham has even swords! He looks at you.

"I'll give you a few books. You'll come here every day. I'll teach you to defend yourself and things you need to know about werewolves. Do you know how to shoot with a gun?"

"...No."

Haytham took a dagger and gave it to you. Then, he took a small gun.

"I gave you a silver dagger. Silver can harm them. This gun has silver bullets. Come on, I'll teach you to shoot."

"He's outside, and he wants to kill us!"

Scott wasn't sure about what else he could create to hide the fact that he, Lydia, Jackson, Allison, and Stiles were trapped in a school with a crazy Alpha. So, he lied and told that Derek was trying to kill all of them.

Desperate dominated the entire classroom they were trapped in.

"I'll call the police." Said Lydia, taking her phone.

"No!"

Stiles went in her direction, but Jackson held him. Suddenly, someone knocks on the door.

"Scott, I'd heard your voice. Open it! I'd received your message, what the hell is happening?"

Damn, it was you! Scott's heart almost stopped while he runs to the door to open for you. He pulls you inside of the room and closes the door.

"I- Hey! What are you doing?!"

"Keeping you safe!"

"Safe of what?"

"I didn't send you that message."

"...Oh. We're in trouble, aren't we?"

"Yeah."

"Fortunately, I'd brought my gun."

"Your- what?!"

You take the gun you earned from Haytham.

"My gun."

Stiles widened his eyes, while Allison let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank god!"

Stiles comes close to you and Scott.

"Where did you got this gun? It's from Sebastian?"

"Maybe. Or maybe not." You gave them a smile "Who's trying to kill us?"

"Derek." You heard Jackson say.

You looked to Stiles and Scott. You have been visiting Haytham since last week, so you had learned a few things. You know, now, that there's some Alpha killing people in the city - the same who had tried to kill you. Considering that Scott and Stiles were there, and considering that you saw Derek's car outside, all you can conclude that was the Alpha was in the school.

"We thought that maybe we could get out of here through the ladder." You heard Allison say, pointing to the door close to you. Then, Lydia completed the info:

"But it's locked. We need the keys."

You cross your arms.

"Do you guys know where the keys are?"

"I know." You heard Scott say.

"Okay, here's the plan: You, you, you, and you," You said, pointing your finger to Stiles, Jackson, Lydia, and Allison "You stay here because we need to be discreet. Scott go take the keys and I'll cover him."

Allison got a step forward.

"No, he can't. It's too dangerous!"

Scott goes to Allison, trying to calm her down while Stiles goes talk to you.

"(Y/N) let Scott take the keys alone. You don't know what are you dealing with, you don't understand."

"Yeah Stiles, I know about what I'm dealing with. It isn't Derek."

Stiles looks at you, with his face becoming pale. Scott, with a completely terrified Allison in his arms, looks at you with the same amazement. That moment, they realized you found out the truth you were looking for. Then, you look for everyone.

"Someone should call the police. It will make him run."

Yeah, it could make sense. The Alpha wouldn't do anything with a lot of humans around. It could attract too much attention and too many hunters.

Lydia took her phone and begun to call someone. You opened the door and walk to the corridor, loading your gun with some bullets. Scott came and closes the door, and now you were completely alone with him.

"How did you found out about everything? It was from that day in the woods?" He asked, curious, while you were walking with him.

"Yeah, kind of. I met a guy who taught me a few things. He thinks you're a killer or something, but I disagree with him. You saved my life. I owe you one, puppy." You said, giving him a sweet smile. He smiles at you too. "Who's your Alpha?"

"It's complicated..."

"Oh. Got it. Where Are the keys?"

"I think it's here." Scott opens the door to the gymnasium and points his finger to the stands. "I'll take the keys. Wait here. Shout if you need something."

"If I need protection I'll shoot." You smiled at him. "Don't worry about me."

Scott goes to take the keys under the stands while you watch the environment around you, with your gun in your hands. A few seconds later, full of tension, you heard Scott.

"Found it!"

"Okay, come back, and let's get the hell outta here."

Suddenly, the stands began to close. Your heart almost stopped, while you look around, looking for something that could help Scott.

"Scott, hurry!!"

You saw Scott run in your direction, trying to escape being smashed by the stands. You gave him your hand and when he finally holds it, you pull him. Both of you fell on the floor, and the stands close.

"Damn!" You said, putting yourself on foot "You okay?"

"Yeah, you okay?"

"Yeah." You let out a long sigh "Let's go."

You and Scott began to walk in the classroom direction but, then, you saw the Alpha. It was on four paws, roaring for both of you. You took your gun up, ready to shoot, but Scott put his hand on your arm.

"Take the keys and go."

"No, I'll not leave you."

"You haven't a chance against him, you'll die!"

"But I have special bullets and some tricks."

"(Y/N), please, there's no time to be stubborn!"

The Alpha got a few steps forward and let out a roar. Scott fell on the floor, yelling in pain. He was in mutation. Damn. But you had an idea.

"Hey, moron!" You yelled in the Alpha's direction. You pull the trigger, shooting against it. He deflects of the shoot, stop roaring. Scott stopped to yell and seems like he's still under control. "This is for my lost high heels!"

You shoot again, and you hit it that time. The bullet got into the leg of the Alpha, and he let out a roar for you, in angry.

"Yeah, you know you're in trouble." You said, with your eyes narrowed. "Do you want more wolfsbane bullets? I have a lot of them to you."

Then, you shoot again, and surprisingly the Alpha back off. Scott stands up, with a heavy breath, and you shoot against the Alpha again. You shoot one, two, three times. It deflects again, letting out a low roar, looking at you. It was a warning, and you knew it.

"You know you have a problem bigger than Scott, don't you? That bullet will kill you."

Yeah, the Alpha knew about it. In a way to save itself from death, the Alpha turns itself and runs out of school. The battle has ended that day, but the war wasn't even close to being won.

"You okay, Scott?"

He was breathing heavily, but he nodded positively.

"Stay here." You said, unsure about how under control Scott was "I'll go to the classroom. Just try to stay calm. You can't lose control, okay?"

Scott nodded again, trying to stay calm. Then, you walked into the classroom's direction and opened the door. Everyone's was looking at you, scared. Allison was the first one to talk.

"Where's Scott?"

"He's fine but nervous. He needs some minutes to breathe. It's okay, guys. We can go now."

All of you heard the police coming. Relieved, everyone got out of the school quickly and terrified. While you were looking for the boys running out of school, again, you remembered the words of that ginger woman.

This truth will change your life forever, and your life will become a truly Russian roulette, girl.

Yeah, you felt a taste of it. But you know what? You kinda like this action.

okay maybe this is just me being nd and confused but it seems like a bunch of people are disagreeing over the definition of a subjective word which makes this entire conversation about whether or not the videos are 'cute' and what that means kind of pointless.

Like as someone whose familiar with animal behavior those videos aren't aesthetically cute to me because I see a stressed animal, or a dangerous interaction, and that's not pleasing at all. I understand if that's different for others but I can't grasp why one persons morals/ethics having or not having an effect on their definition should be considered more valid then others especially for something as subjective as 'cuteness'.

Aesthetic preferences can be completely separate from moral and ethics yeah and there isn't anything wrong with them being separate or joined, but the idea that no one ever has their aesthetic preferences effected by either seeems, bizzare to me? Especially when both can have a large effect on how you percive the world and your experiences within it.

the issue is that, as I said in my reblogs, there really is a growing (but also historic, it's not at all exclusively recent) trend of conflating what is aesthetic/pleasing with what is moral. you'll often see "consensual incest is disgusting" as someone's entire argument for why they think it's immoral, same with antis and fictional shit with dark themes (or loli or whatever). gross is not synonymous with immoral, and nor is cute synonymous with moral. something may stop being cute for you because it's immoral, but it simply isn't correct to conflate the two. what I took from that post was exactly that, and that as a result op doesn't like that the names of all the blogs that assess harm, risk, and morality of animal behaviour (which I'm also familiar to some degree with and have the same reaction of not finding certain things cute) will usually have some kind of reference to cuteness. this actually is a huge problem when it comes to a situation like pugs. the narrative went from all the info about their health issues to a militant "pugs aren't cute", that even extended to a lot of terrible posts I've seen where comments all just shit on the pug - calling it an ugly, horrific animal that shouldn't exist; not that the breed should be phased out, that a particular animal shouldn't be alive, a specific individual. there's also hounding owners with similar vile things when they upload pictures, just talking about real living individuals so overtly cruelly. to me, that sort of behaviour is just an excuse to act shitty while claiming it's righteous. this totally has the risk of affecting the adoption of living breathing pugs who need homes, and it really often floods the comments of people who are providing said homes to adopted animals, like how dare they get (and apparently thus will be making others want to get) this repulsive little affront to god. that's not okay. animal welfare doesn't start and end with whether or not you are permitted to find something cute, and the conversation around morality at the moment has continued to be poisoned by conflation in regards to aesthetics. op criticised that, and it ended up with people calling them far-right, a pedo, a zoophile, immoral, disgusting, and far more gross shit that I eventually stopped just compulsively checking out of frustration. that was my issue with those responses - not that I've got a problem with them not finding a vid where a bear eats from a hand cute, but how I saw them responding so horrifically to a valid criticism of the conversations they're having. I don't mind if cuteness is detracted in whether something is immoral, I mind if a morality can be swayed by cuteness and people conflate it so often that they see no issue with bullying a living pug's adoptive owner online because it's an ugly little creature by virtue of its breed not being healthy. I jumped in to criticise the shit people were slinging at op; the names having references to cuteness is a discussion with an abundance of valid points on both sides, but I don't think it's a big deal by comparison to all the issues I've mentioned here when morality starts to be conflated with aesthetics, and the stance of insulting things based on aesthetics because you disagree morally with a practice around them, especially sick animals that will need loving homes with people who do love it and see it as cute and deserving. you can say that pugs aren't cute because they're sick but ultimately that's not actually advocacy to take action to breed that out, that's just being vile on some random instagram of someone's pet.

edit: I should probably tag @schizotypalpigeon

edit #2: or as @guided-to-madness said much more succinctly in this thread of it: "“Funny”, “cute” are the instinctive emotional reactions some of us have. Not our moral evaluation of the situation. [...] You can, however, say “this is bad, so you need to stop sharing it and giving the op positive feedback”. [...] You need to aim at altering people’s actions, not feelings."

The part where you get basic info on my Pokémon oc's so you don't get confused when I post about them.

This is gonna be a long post. I have like 8 total. 16 if your counting the secondary protags (my version of May and Lucas for example,which I won't be going over in detail cause I'm not insane). Might want to check my timeline 9 it's pinned or just check bulbapedia if your confused about the ages. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I hope you enjoy :)

Name :Jin Amachi

Gender: " I am nonbinary. I they/ them pronouns, but I'm alright with he/ him as well.

Age:

12( when started journey in Hoenn( Emerald)

22 by SM/USUSM

26 by SWSH

Basic info: With all things said and done, Jin is grateful for their journey. They learned a lot, even if they had to stop two extreme environmentalist along the way. They know the two meant well, but it's just too bizarre for it to happen. Though the two seem to be in a better place now. They're happy for them. They're father and them talk more now. It's still awkward, but better. They know he's trying his best, and they will do the same. It's much better than back then. But no need to worry about the past.

If anything, they're more worried about the others.

Kenji Elm

Gender: " I'm getting sudden dejavu. But I'm a boy! The best boy! Don't call me a girl, I will cry. And because I'm not one! So don't. Anyway have you heard of-" * starts to ramble*

Age:

10 when journey started in Johto( HGSS)

17 by SM

21 by SWSH

Basic Info: Kenji Elm is not the biological son of Professor Elm. He was adopted at a young age, and he doesn't know who is birth parents. Not that he cares. He's more than happy with the family he got( though he wonders when they'll throw him away like his parents did). Energetic and always willing for an adventure, Kenji is generally on the move!( He's so sorry if he's being annoying please don't leave please)

He has a vast amount of interests, but his two favorites are painting and battling. Battling is obvious, he's the champion of the Indigo League, but he always had an artistic eye. But his favorite pastime is hanging out with his friends! When he gets the time of course. He's sometimes wonder how he was able to hold the title of champion for so long though haha ( his win was a fluke he knows it he knows it) .But yeah! That's Kenji! Always there with a smile! Our little golden boy! 😁

Name: Danica Yamamoto

Gender: "I'm a girl. She/her pronouns. They/ them is cool too. Don't mind Kenji, he talks a lot." *Offended Kenji noises in the background*

Age:

11 when journey started in Sinnoh( Platinum)

18 by SM)

22 by SWSH

Basic Info: Giratina and Arcues are quite alike, the more she thinks about it. Though, the rest if Sinnoh, quite possibly the whole world would disagree with her. Giratina is " the lord of darkness". It's followers have a history of not being....the best. Giratina resides alone in the Distortion World, paying for it's past sins. Clearly, Giratina and Arcues are nothing alike.

Hm? Oh. Right. Pardon.

Danica grew up in Twinleaf town, with her best friend Barry. Those two are almost polar opposites. Barry is always moving, going fast, and doesn't wait for no one( except Danica and Emmet). Danica can go fast, possibly faster than Barry, but likes to take things slow. Both can be quite chaotic.Barry has a bit of a temper, Danica's chill. Both are cases where you should run when they are angry. Like. Very angry. The two bounces of each other well,and hang out regularly with Emmet, even with their busy professions ( Danica as champion, Barry as Frontier Brain and Emmet as a professor). Danica loves baking, and would often be making poffins and other baked treats for her, her pokemon and others ! She's also a bit of a nerd, so you'll also find her in a library or two. Her pokemon are her babies, and she hopes to have plenty of battles with them in the future!

.....

But really. They are quite alike. Both are beings of great power. Both have a following, even if one is less seen. Both are feared. They are feared greatly. Do they fear each other? Did Arcues banish Giratina in fear of the world or in fear of losing control? Did Giratina learn it's lesson after eons of being in the Distortion World? She could never tell. It doesn't really open up much, only going back to said Distortion World on its own Accord( it felt wrong to be it's "owner"). Though it do comes back, surprisingly. Maybe because she asked it to. To make sure Cyrus doesn't die in there. He still won't come out. She doesn't understand why. It's been years. Has he learned his lesson? Giratina seems to be fond of him. Affectionate. Cyrus never objects to this. So he must right? Right?

Ah, getting off topic. They're quite alike, being feared by the masses. Even if Arcues is mostly beloved. It's a god. It has such power. They're both feared. They themselves must fear as well . It must get lonely....... She thinks she gets Cyrus now.

Name: Alexis " Alex" Jones

Gender: " Um, hi? I'm just a dude. Use he/ him pronouns.....yeah"

Age:

14 when journey started in Unova( BW)

18 by SM

22 by SWSH

Basic info: It's so funny, the more he thinks about. He was so excited, despite his worries. He was going on a journey. A gym challenge. Pathway to champion. He was going to do that! With his sister and his friends! On his birthday! It was perfect! It should have been perfect! But everything just went wrong.

The bodies, the blood, the pressure to " be a hero"( intentional or not), it was all too much. Too much. Then- then he was a coward. He fled it all. Even after saving the day. It was stupid. So stupid. And the people in his life had a right to be angry. Why wouldn't they? He deserved it, really. But now things are better(?). He has a daycare to co-run, he's gradually learning his way as a pokemon medic, and he still has his pokemon( the ones that were lucky enough to survive). He's so grateful for them. He doesn't battle, though. No, he's never doing that ever again. He's caused enough harm( he hates how he stares at trainers battling). He's no good anyway( he hates how bored his team looks half the time) . He doesn't understand why people insist that he is( he hates that he has this itch, this desire). He doesn't understand why they look so disappointed when he says he doesn't battle anymore( he hates that he misses the rush, the strategy, the freedom of it all). He's fine with what he got. He's no hero.

.....Why is his aunt calling him?

Name: Evangeline " Eva" Ortiz

Gender: " Hiya! I'm a lovely lady! I use she/her pronouns, please and thank you!"

Age:

14 when journey started ( B2W2)

16 by SM

20 by SwSh

Basic Info: Eva! Eva my Beloved. Eva's fun, y'know? Always moving, helping, laughing, smiling. Life of the party! She rivals Kenji with that winning smile. Not to mention that she's a great battler! It's almost like she was born for this. Maybe she is! Who knows. But what she do know is that she's Unova's Champ and she gotta defend her title! And protect her region! Though she probably would have done that without the title anyway haha! Hmm what else? Oh! She loves technology! For some reason that surprises a lot of people that don't really know her, but she does! She's a bit of a tinkerer if she do say so herself. She likes it when people compliment on her skills it makes her more confident in them. Even Col-

No.

....

Ahem.

Anyway she's pretty talented. But that comes from a lot of hard work! And luck. But lots of hard work.( And also luck). Aaaah, that should that's it? Well, she does tend to be distant, b-but she's busy, yeah? Don't worry about it. Oh! One more thing. It's not really a big deal, just a random fact.

She hates the cold.

Name Jude Bellrose

Gender: "...... Why do you care ?" ( E: Jude don't be rude! Al: No no, she has a point.) *Ooc: Jude is genderfluid. Right now, in this post, she's using she/ her pronouns, but she also uses he/him and they/them*

Age:

18 when journey started in Kalos( XY)

20 by SM

24 by SwSh

Basic info: Death has a way of teaching you things. Jude learned a lot from it. She learns to not take it for granted, both death itself and the one that is dead.She learns to be humble. She learns to be kind.

Jude was, and still is, prickly. She's not rude my any means, unless she is, but she's just hard to become friends with. She used to have this philosophy of trainer and pokemon; they should be no emotional bonds. They're not here for that. They're here to win. And she did. Until she didn't. Her first pokemon died. It devastated her. Her pokemon, surprisingly, comforted her. And then another one died, and her pokemon comforted her again. Star, her Staraptor, was strong. So strong, and yet it died, and she cried and get pokemon cried with her. She never felt so loved. Not saying that her mother doesn't love her, the opposite really, it's just things have been....complicated. Couple that with strangers turn( begrudgingly) friends, and Jude's heart turned all warm inside. Not that she'll ever admit that outloud.

Jude is a kind person, despite her prickly nature. She loves the world around her, loves her friends, loves her pokemon. She respects death, despite the pain she causes her. The world itself of beautiful as it is, which it's such a shame that a capitalist fool a certain someone couldn't see that way( poor Sycamore).

Jude is a good trainer, despite her loss. She knows this. She'll prove it too the moon and back. If only a certain someone thought the same for himself.

Aster Mahina

Gender: "...." "Mizzz Aster is a girl! She uses she/her pronouns! Zzt."

Age:

11 in SM, where her journey started

15 by SwSh

Basic Bio: Aster doesn't hate Kanto. She doesn't. She was born there and lived there for 11 years. She just doesn't want to back. But she has to, cause she's " the first champion of Alola and as champion" yada yada yada. Like. She gets it. Being Alola's first and currently only champion, you gotta make an impression. She gets that. She still doesn't want to go. Even when she's been there, like, 4 times now. There are some good things in Kanto though. Lillie is there. And seeing Lillie physically is always a plus. She also gets to see Uncle Red, Uncle Green, and Aunt Blue. Kenji, while not living in Kanto, is champion of the Indigo League, and it's always fun with Kenji( she loves his art). But. Like. She still doesn't want to go.

But she also likes being Champion. That means she's strong. And since she's strong she can protect her mom. But she can't protect her mom when she's all the way in Kanto! What if he comes back? What if goes to Alola when she's away? She knows that her mom is strong, she knows that but still!

No. No it's okay. Her mom is strong. Lillie is strong. Gladion is strong . Hau is strong. Guzma is strong. They're all strong. She's strong.

She is strong.

Name: Naomi Einar

Gender: "I-I'm a girl! She/her pronouns please!"

Age:

15 in SWSH, which is the start of her gym challenge in Galar!

Basic Info: Hop is pretty convincing, she realizes. Or maybe she's very weak willed. " Let's do the gym challenge together!" He said. He had that look in his eye. She couldn't say no. Or she could, but that would make him upset, and that's the last thing she wants.

If she's being honest with herself, she's scared. She doesn't like big crowds, the attention. They'll be so many eyes on her. So many. A-and then there's Lee and her cousin, Alexis. Hop has made her sit down and watch almost every single match Leon has had. He's an amazing trainer. A-and her mum would tell her stories about Alexis. He was a hero! He stopped an evil team and everything! She can't live up to that! She never even battled before, why would Hop-

No. It's okay. It's okay. She- she'll just quite after failing the first gym. She can handle the embarrassment. And then she'll cheer Hop on when he wins against his brother. Yep. She'll do just that. Okay. Okay.

.....

Everyday, Slumbering Weald seem to intrigue her more and more. It's almost like it's calling her. Da?

No. It- it'sprobably nothing.

Hello there! Congratulations on reaching 100 🎉

Can i request a match up from any of the haikyuu/ jjk boys please? Whichever is easier for you❤️

She/ her

Straight

Libra

I'd say im pretty laid back and i usually just go with the flow. I'm not much of an outgoing person (unless it's something like going on a hike with family and close friends even though im not fit 💀, visiting the museum etc.) I don't make friends easily, being really awkward at first. I won't talk much unless l feel comfortable around the person. When i do get comfortable, i don't hold back on my shameless jokes and cheesy pickup lines lmao but i mean no harm.

I don't really have any interesting hobbies and passions. Although, i like photography, drawing, hiking and reading (fanfiction ofc 👀). I also like learning new things about the galaxies and what other stuff there is out there that we never heard of before. It's interesting. I don't really pick up on doing new things because i never find the time to finish it, forever procrastinating and delaying things yk. I'm always procrastinating when it comes to studying 💀 (like what im doing rn lmao). But when i do set my mind to it, I'm determined to finish it which is usually at the last minute. We work better under pressure lol

I hope this was enough info btw :P

Hi babe!! And thank you so much!!

and we love working under pressure :p i have 3 assignments due, 2 done late and i haven’t started instead doing this wtf is wrong with me.

I match you withhh...

Oikawa Toru is known to everyone as a complicated person. Not necessarily to deal with, although Iwaizumi may disagree, but hard to read.

But to Oikawa and you, your relationship is about the small things and how they matter. It’s easy to read this man when he’s your boyfriend.

Oikawa’s outgoing and extroverted nature allows you to break out of your shell and explore things you’ve never done before, and have random conversations with strangers at the train station at 2 AM.

The first time Oikawa tried talking to you, he genuinely thought you hated him because your awkwardness just wanted him away from you. How ironic now that you two will have pick-up like battles just to see which one gets flustered first.

Spoiler alert; your dirty jokes that come out of nowhere always gives you a point.

There are times Oikawa can’t comprehend how he ended up with you. You’re perfect. Everything he’s ever wanted, and if this is a dream, he never wants to wake up.

Oikawa loves those moments where you two will stay up till midnight just talking about the galaxy, and sharing your bizarre theories.

“Y/n...” You know you’re in trouble when Oikawa takes that tone with you.

“Heyyy love. How are you today? You know, I think you’re getting even more handsome by the day.” You say, an attempt of inflating his ego so that he forgets his scolding for you.

“Yeah, love, that’s not gonna work on me. You have an assignment due today, get to it.”

“Whaaat, no. I have time, it’s due in like,” You pause to look at the time on your phone, “15 hours. Besides, you shouldn’t be talking when you stayed late practicing again.”

Oikawa sighs, knowing the ending of this argument. Alas, you two were the only one who can get the other to do what needed to be done.

“Fine, I won’t stay late practicing this week only if, you don’t procrastinate your work this week.”

You pretend to think about the offer “Okay, deal,”

“but we have to watch this new space documentary I found, together.”

It’s moments like these, Oikawa realizes, he’ll walk to the ends of the stars, all for you. “Anything for you.”

hello! if it's no trouble, could i request a 🍰 please?

i'm 5,4ft, pretty chubby, a demiboy (he/him), and i look like a mix of 90's grunge and early 2000's emo. i have short, wavy, dyed black hair (my actual hair is blond) that make my light turqoise-ish eyes stand out, i have rather full, naturally red lips and i have really pale skin. people tell me i look like Snow White a lot- i present myself as extremely confident, sassy, maybe slightly arrogant, sarcastic and prideful. imagine a mixture of tsukishima and oikawa, with a little more outward self-hatred. i act like i think i'm the best, when i really feel intimidated by everyone around me, and i don't particularly like myself. i do a lot of dumb stuff just for fun, like playing tag while ice skating, and i love making people laugh. i tend to use "internet language" a lot (like "it's the ... for me" or "i pretend i do not see"), i like to tease, occasionally being petty and whiny and i have chaotic vibes. however, i do have a strong need to defend people when they are treated unfairly. i can appear rather uncaring or blunt, but it's not intentional. i have a lot of trouble opening up and trusting others, and i hate needing help, because it makes me feel inferior. i don't know how to express my feelings, usually my face just looks blank, and many people assume that i just don't want to talk or show my feelings, which is not really true. i do want to speak about how i feel, or defend myself when people yell at me, and i have so much to say, but my mouth just won't open. generally, my emotions are kinda a touchy subject- i bottle them up, and think of them as nobody's business but mine, so that i don't appear vulnerable to others. yet i still cry a lot, even over small things, such as saying the wrong thing and maybe hurting someone's feelings (not that i would ever let anyone know). i have high expectations of myself, that are impossible to reach, and i continuously beat myself up over mistakes i made 2 years ago. sometimes my "bad boy" persona breaks though, like when i get all smiley, hyperactive and excited when i'm happy, or when someone compliments me, and i get shy and flustered. i'm actually pretty soft, and i love hugs and pastel colours, or being read to while cuddling, but i'm a bit too prideful and too scared of being rejected to initiate or ask for it.

ahhh, this was really long and all over the place, so so sorry, hope it's still okay tho T-T

Omg this one was very cool to write for! Don’t be sorry honestly all this info really helped in my matching!

🍰 for @apathetic-enby

Romantic Matchup...

Oikawa Torū 👽

God you two just UNDERSTAND eachother

Honestly you two feel the same way about a lot of things

From the high expectations to the need to put on an act like-

I swear your conversations are probably the best

Cause you guys understand each other so we’ll and you can be there for each other in a way that NO ONE else could

However if you start to talk bad about yourself that’s when he’ll have to disagree with you

He just loves you so much! And doesn’t want you to beat yourself up over nothing

N e ways moving on from the deep stuff

When y’all are together you just light up the room!

You definitely bring out a more chaotic side of Oikawa

And even though Iwa won’t admit it he’s glad that he can see his friend just be a teen for once

Not only do you both use that “internet language” while you text but y’all use it in basic conversations sometimes

Ngl people get so confused when you two are talking to each other

If you two see a person making someone cry OH BOY they better be prepared to cry themselves

What can I say you both have a strong sense of justice

He sees the person behind the blank face

But he adores when your “bad boy” persona breaks and he gets to see the bubbly version of you

He just finds it so cute!

And if your ever vulnerable around him

Mans is HONERD

He wants you to know you can tell him anything so he will try his best to make you feel comfortable

Tell him you want cuddles!! I promise he won’t reject you!

I got a feeling one of his love languages is physical touch sooo 😗

10/10 A stable strong relationship

Friendship Matchup...

Kenma Kozume 👾

He is the friend you can come to for ANYTHING

Like he’s so reliable

Whether you just need someone to talk to or you need someone to distract you from your inner turmoil

Also similar to Oikawa he definitely understand how you feel with a lot of things

Which once again makes him a very easy person to talk to

He knows that there very little he can do to make you feel better on certain things

So he just lets you know that your not alone and he’s here for you

Oh god this man is the KING of internet language

But unlike Oikawa you use it for texts and online chats only

He really loves your style and has asked you to give him a makeover on multiple occasions

Will usually stand on the sidelines whenever your doing something crazy

But there have been occasional moments where he joins you in your chaos

Kuroo couldn’t be more proud 🥲

Overall a great friend 5 stars would recommend

I wanted to write a time travel fanfic and about Evan Rosier/Hermione Granger as a main pairing but... I'm stuck. I didn't choose the most redeemable character (Rosier was killed by Moody after a magical fight) and it's complicated bc how Hermione can fall in love with someone like Evan no matter how charming and smart he is ? How did you deal with that (Hermione, Death Eater and their ideology) ? All I can see is something like Jaime/Brienne (GoT) and a very slow burn. But it still feel wrong.

(Please bear with me as this is going to be a super long response. I’ll put it underneath the cut so those who want to read it can read it and those who want to scroll past it can do so quickly.)

To be perfectly honest, if a story feels “wrong”, you shouldn’t be writing it. Trying to force something that you don’t feel comfortable writing and don't fully believe in will not only make for a story that feels forced and unnatural to the reader, but it will also become a story that you will not enjoy writing. (Never forget that this is our hobby, not our job.). Eventually, you would likely hit a wall where the story was unable to progress further and you’d be stuck. Lots of writers try to write a story with certain elements or pairings that are “trendy” and end up stuck because they forced a story. Writing should flow fairly smoothly. I’m not saying that writers should never stumble or feel blocked, but I am saying that if you’re not allowing a story to remain organic and grow naturally, you will find you quality and likely your own enthusiasm and enjoyment in writing the story suffer.

Why do you want to write a story with Evan Rosier? Is it because you find his character fascinating or you want to uncover more about him? Or is it because he’s not a character that’s written about a lot and you’re hoping to stand out in a growing sea of Death Eater stories?

I promise I’m not trying to be rude or condescending, even if it seems like it. This is an honest question. If your answer is on the first couple, awesome. Go for it.

But, if you’re hoping writing about him will get you instant recognition and a large number of followers on your story immediately, I’m sorry to tell you that that probably won’t happen. Most readers don’t want to take a chance on unknown characters. They just don’t. I’ve mentioned this many times, but when I first started writing Thorfinn Rowle as more than just a one-dimensional bad guy in the background in first, The Dark Mage’s Captive and then Parolee and His Princess, I frequently got PMs and reviews asking me who the fuck Thorfinn Rowle even was and that I might actually get more people to read my stories if I didn’t write such weird pairings. 🙄 (Let’s not forget the troll who commented “This should’ve been a Dramione” on literally every single chapter at least twice. Sigh.) So it’s both amusing and incredibly frustrating to have readers in the fandom announce that Thormione is their OTP when most of them wouldn’t have given my stories the time of day when I was writing them and they were the ONLY Thorfinn stories in existence on FFN for certain and probably everywhere else. Because so few people were interested in reading a story with Thorfinn as the main love interest when I was actually writing Parolee and His Princess, if I was only writing the story in an attempt to stand out and not because that was the story I wanted to write, then I likely would’ve gotten frustrated and quit before I ever finished.

So, if you’re serious about writing an Evan Rosier story because it’s what you want to write, I wish you the best of luck. It’s always challenging to write a character with little to no background info in canon. Challenging can also be a great deal of fun. If we never challenge ourselves as writers, we won’t ever get any better. Writers must be willing to learn and try new things if they want to get better. Practice is crucial. Too many writers (professional and otherwise) get to a place where they don’t believe they need to improve and their writing gets stagnant. It’s sad.

Now to your question about how or why Hermione might fall in love with someone with such a different and dangerous ideology... there are many different ways this can be tackled. I must stress thought that you make sure the decision you make makes sense within your story. Don’t try to force something. Let it grow naturally.

First of all, I don’t believe anyone is unredeemable. (Or irredeemable. Same meaning, right?) Perhaps it’s because of my own personal faith and religious beliefs, but I don’t believe anyone is wholly evil or wholly good. Yes, even in this hyper-partisan world we now live in, I don’t believe that anyone (even those who might disagree with me) are pure evil. This has actually gotten me a lot of grief from angry trolls and super sensitive former readers alike. I’ve been accused of being an “apologist” for all manner of depravity including, but not limited to, rape, violence, murder, racism, all the bad things ever, etc. simply because I believe that no is unredeemable... irredeemable. Ugh, whatever. You know what I mean.

Everyone has good qualities in them, even those who appear to be nothing but evil. Far fewer good qualities than most certainly, but still there. I’m also a firm believer that people, even really bad people, can have an existential change of heart and want to be a better person. Many just have to be given the opportunity to change. Of course, I don’t believe that they shouldn’t be punished for their crimes or they should be excused just because there’s something good about them. I’ll never understand why I’ve been accused of being an apologist. 🙄 Some people are truly exhausting.

For every story about a Death Eater falling for Hermione, there’s a different explanation. If you’ve ready any, you’re probably already familiar. Because I try very hard to make every story I write unique from the others I’ve already written, I’ve mixed it up. Antonin only joined for knowledge and power without realizing until too late what was really happening. Rodolphus was pressured by his wife in one and his grief and depression made him fall further in than he meant to. Sometimes the Death Eater was pressured by family to follow in their footsteps; others by their peers. There are countless reasons why people join these kinds of groups. Disillusionment, looking for a place to belong... you really could make it anything. I’ve known people who were drawn in and brainwashed by cults because they were desperate for purpose, for belonging, for a feeling like their life actually mattered. It can be super easy to get sucked into a cult and takes years to get out... if you can.

JKR wrote the Death Eaters as being simply bad for bad’s sake. They’re almost all one-dimensional. No person is actually one-dimensional. They have hopes and fears and dreams just like everyone else. Maybe they thought they believed in the sort of pro-Pureblood world that Voldemort imagined, but once they got in they were in over their head. Reality rarely meets our expectations. People grow and change. Even my own beliefs have changed as I’ve grown older. What I used to think was important no longer is and there are issues I have done a complete 180 on as I’ve grown up and begun to live in what I call “grownup reality”. (Life is much different for me than it was even when I was just in my twenties and how I see the world has changed drastically in some instances.). So if experience and time has been able to shape and change my beliefs and even my values to a minute degree, why could the same not be said for a Death Eater who discovered all was not as it seemed when they were recruited?

It’s also important to remember that no one thinks, acts, or believes like everyone in their set group one hundred percent of the time. Each individual has their own thoughts and beliefs. Maybe they joined because they hated Muggles, but then they realized they were wrong to do so. Maybe their family pressured them to join but they didn’t agree. Maybe they were afraid to die so they joined. I know a lovely man whose father died in World War II fighting for the Nazis - not because he was an admirer of Hitler and believed in everything dreadful and evil the Nazi party believed in. No, his father was conscripted into the German Army and fought because he would’ve been arrested in the best case scenario and executed in the worst. His young wife and their two small children could’ve also been in danger had he refused. It’s a terribly sad story. And hardly the only one. That’s just one example. History has countless other incidents all over the world when scared people fought and fell in line with a terrible leader because they had no other choice. Or at least it seemed like they had no other choice. Not everyone is strong and brave enough to stand up to injustice and evil when their lives are on the lines. Humans by our very nature can be quite cowardly at times.

It’s possible that a person who has done evil deeds or believed just absolutely atrocious things could want to change and be a better person. Though it wouldn’t be easy, someone like Hermione could choose to forgive them for their past. Especially if they’re truly remorseful.

Of course, it’s also unfortunately true that there are sometimes relationships that are just absolutely toxic. Love can make idiots of us all. How many women (and men to an extent though not nearly as often) see the potential in a man and want to change them into something good and perfect? It happens so often it’s a cliche. Woman falls in love with bad boy. Wants to change him. Stays with him with hopes and dreams that he’ll stop being so awful. Is disappointed over and over again. Have you ever known someone who fell in love with a truly terrible person and even though their relationship wasn’t healthy whatsoever never seemed to quit them? Kept going back for more even when everyone told them it was a terrible idea? I’m pretty sure you have. You might’ve even been in one of those relationships yourself. I know I was. No, he might not have been a murderous minion of a madman, but he certainly had his terrible qualities that I thought I could help him get past. Tale as old as time.

I could go on and on and on about reasons why Hermione might fall in love with a completely unsuitable man who might even wish her dead, but there’s no reason. It could be for a thousand reasons. And don’t forget, Hermione isn’t exactly some innocent paragon of virtue herself. She’s pretty dark even in canon. Trapping a lady in a jar? Cursing a girl’s face possibly permanently? Leading another witch into a forest knowing there are centaurs in there who are dangerous? And those are just the things that unobservant Harry noticed! Who knows what she was doing off-stage? She has her own darkness and her own demons to fight. She’s not perfect nor is she some pure angelic creature who only uses light magic for good. Nah, she’s pretty twisted at times. (On a side note - Please don’t try to write her as being all-powerful, perfect, and never do anything the least bit bad. That’s not her character at all. It bothers me to see her written as some sort of pearl-clutching virgin who has never done anything bad in her entire life. That’s NOT the Hermione I read in the books.)

You just have to find the right motivation in your own story. If you’re not forcing the story and allowing it to develop naturally, you’ll figure it out. If you’re forcing it, I’m afraid you’re going to stay stuck.

I hope this can be so some help! Sorry I’m rambled on and on and on.

Do you have a book of shadows or something similar where you keep such info?:) I hand made one but now I'm scared to ruin the book

Hello, friend! (Get ready for a long post) Yes I do have a book of shadows! :) I actually have a book for literally everything. (Divination, dream journal, thoughts, etc.) I even have a Book of Sigils! (

Honestly, do not scare yourself when keeping a BoS or grimoire. I know there are some people out there with beautiful organized script and drawings, but that is definitely not everyone. My BoS is a scribbly mess, with writing everywhere and drawings. Its just a plain notebook, has misspelled words, and crossed out things. But I love it like that. It shows my growth and my journey/process of learning. I love the feeling of knowing I wrote everything I could in my book. It shows I had passion and was willing to learn.

I thought I’d be super perfectionist, but I wasn’t. Since I am a little perfectionist, I have kept a book for my spells and stuff that won’t change, which I call my grimoire. There is honestly nothing in it lol. Which is why you should not be afraid of making mistakes! If you are too afraid to try, you won’t do anything at all. I convinced myself that I’d just get another journal and that would be my practice grimoire. Turns out that it is now my BoS and I use it daily! That helped me be less afraid, and more comfortable. Plus I got a lot of journals now, so I split things into books based on subjects. (Like my divination journal and Book of Sigils!) Of course you do not need to do that. I just focus on divination, a ton, so I thought this journal would help me understand my decks and runes better. Also I like my Book of Sigils, because I do sigil requests often and I like to go back and use some sigils I have made.

So I noticed you said you made your book? That sounds cool as heck. Please don’t worry about messing up in it! Every imperfection makes your book even more personal and meaningful to you. I have misspelled “have,” and “witch” in my book several times. Reading back on it, it is super funny, because that is just so me. I rush when writing because I am just so excited to get it down. I like that it shows a real person put energy into it, it makes it personal and displays the hard work put into it. Tbh my favorite grimoires are the messy ones. They just feel more ancient to me. The book’s main goal is to be useful, it doesn’t have to be pretty. (But there is no harm in it being pretty, if you want it to be!)

Please note that here is no shame in a binder/unconventional grimoire/BoS! I am actually intending to transfer most of my notes into a binder! It is so useful and I can take anything out/or add anything in as time passes! Plus you can still decorate it, or even hide it if you’re a secret witch. Speaking of unconventional journals: I use my computer a ton too! I actually have some diary apps that I use as my dream journal. I know some people who use Google Docs as their Grimoires, and let me tell you, they are super easy to do and add to. Very useful

Okay, so just to show you how a real learning witches books look like, I took some pictures of my stuff, because honestly I don’t mind sharing them. :) (I did cover up some things to protect myself/others) Heres what a real, useful, and not picture perfect, Book of Shadows looks like:

My Crystal Book:

And my Book of Sigils (its a binder with card collector sleeves):

See? My journals are plain and inconspicuous because I am a secret witch. It works for me. On the inside they are riddled with notes, thoughts, and resources. My pride and joy is my Book of Sigils, because it is so organized and useful to me. On every book I have, I have a sigil on the from and back inside covers, for privacy and a non-activation of sigils-sigil. I didn’t bother showing you my Grimoire, because It is empty, since I was too scared to right in it! Don’t be like me in that aspect. Go for it! What do you have to lose? if you mess up, who cares? If you have mess ups, obviously they were meant to be made and, therefore, are perfect. So stop being so hard on yourself and get to writing. :) You’ll feel very accomplished after you finish your first page.

Some Grimoire/BoS tips:

If you’re too scared to write on the first page, start on the fifth page! Then later you can decide what you want on those first 5 pages.

Leave some room for a Table of Contents. Most people say to do it at the front. I disagree. Do it at the back instead. Then when you get to the last 5 pages you can use them as a Table of Contents, and go through your book and write it at the back. This way you won’t have to worry about leaving enough room in the front for a table of contents. I learned this trick from teachers and professors in school, it has been very useful for me.

You decide what you want in your grimoire/bos. There are no rules. It is all up to you! Some people draw on some pages, some people use it as a diary, some people put personal info in theirs. My advice is you do you.

You don’t need extravagance. If you forget to add in something, put in on a sticky not on the page, or even in an envelope. There is no wrong way to style your book.

I suggest having a book marker of some sort. My journals have a ribbon attached that I can mark my page with. You could also use dividers/tabs. In my binder they have been super useful. I have even used paperclips to mark my spot. It can be extremely helpful when you’re in the middle of a spell/ritual and you need to look back on something.

Protect your books. I use warding sigils, privacy sigils, and non-activation sigils. Those are some easy ways to protect your books. Just put them on the inside front and back covers. You can also you imagery and imagine light protecting your book, as a way to keep it safe.

Don’t give up on your book. If you mess up, don’t immediately throw your book to the side. Just continue on. Rid yourself of that negative energy, and start fresh, even if you have to skip a few pages. I have had to do this from time to time. I know it feels like your book is ruined, but I promise that is not true. You can always continue or even fix mistakes. Don’t worry. This book is only for you, so as long as you understand it, you’re golden!

So my one request on this post is to please not steal my pictures, lol. Since it is my BoS I’d rather not have them stolen without credit. Please don’t repost, but if you have a mighty need to do it, ask me.

Also please don’t try and argue about my info in my books lol. These are my opinions. Also I won’t tolerate any hate from people telling me I shouldn’t post my BoS. I chose to do this to show that not everyone uses aesthetics and beauty for their Grimoires/BoS. Some people just need them for their usefulness, or they just don’t have time to make them beautiful. Also I like my messy aesthetic, it is very me. :)

(The sigils I posted are all mine. The first one is one I created for myself. The other two were requested. They are under my “Love” sigils section, which is right before my “Protection” sigils. Please ignore my terrible handwriting lol)

Okay so I hoped this helped you! If you have more questions, just ask! If anyone else has any helpful information, you’re welcome to join on this post!

Here is my Ko-fi, because a witch gotta live, amiright? ;) > https://ko-fi.com/elsewherewitch

Many blessings!

Maybe it's bc I'm from a country whose gov wiretapped innocent people they saw as their enemies but I can't believe people PAY MONEY to get spied on so they what? Don't have to press a button?! I'm not angry or anything just absolutely baffled at how many people ACTIVELY choose this dystopian nightmare shit. Things are bad enough already so I just wonder how both those things (anger about fb&owning alexa) fit together. Not attacking you, just genuinely wondering about the thought process (1/2)

Valid question! Here’s my thought process:

First, the Facebook thing is actually less about the collection and sale of my data than...a really, really long tortured relationship with Facebook that needs to end now. Not that I agree with the collection and sale of my data! Because I don’t! But you should know my long history, because I think it explains my thought process.

I registered for Facebook early, when you still had to have an edu email address. I thought I had it locked down, private, friends-only. Then, a few years later, my boss walks into my office and closes my door and gives me a talking-to about “inappropriate Facebook posts.” To be clear, I was never a person, like, posting topless photos on Facebook or something, nor was I complaining about my boss really. It was more like, “Ugh, I have to work all weekend, sorry I can’t go to this party!” And she was like, “THAT IS PRIVILEGED INFORMATION THAT YOU WORKED ALL WEEKEND.” And I was like, ...how are you even seeing my Facebook, you’re not my friend? So (a) I was spooked, because when your boss yells at you because of Facebook, it’s terrifying, and (b) I was completely bewildered that she could even see my Facebook. Upon investigation, it turned out that at the time (and this was a decade ago), if you put down where you work, EVERYONE who also put that place down could see your Facebook, even if they weren’t your friend and your Facebook was friends-only. (I think Facebook has changed that policy now.)

So, terrified, I deleted my Facebook. But this was back when not having a Facebook caused this whole public outcry thing and my friends freaked out and so I gave in and re-started a Facebook, posting very little because I was terrified. But I still used it. Until I got depressed and started therapy. My therapist told me to keep a stress journal, where I wrote down whenever I felt a spike of stress, and going on Facebook consistently showed up in the journal as a source of stress. So, upon my therapist’s suggestion, I stopped going on Facebook. I still kept it instead of deleting it because I didn’t want people to freak out the way they did the first time, but I stopped using it.

Fast-forward many years, and in January of this year, I tried to open a Facebook for the psuedonym I use for novels. Facebook immediately flagged me as suspicious and asked me to prove I was me by uploading a photo. And I was kind of like, ....Why do you need my photo? What’s that going to prove? All I can assume is that, of course, they have a database of what we all look like. How they know I’m not just grabbing a random photo of the person I’m trying to impersonate off the internet is another question entirely. But I was like, Fine, whatever, I don’t feel like fighting with you, Facebook, so I gave up on having a pseudonym page.

And then I started thinking: Why did I still have a Facebook? I never go on Facebook. All the stuff had happened with the election, so it wasn’t like people would freak out anymore if I deleted it, they’d totally get it. And I kind of no longer wanted to give Facebook bragging rights about how many users it has by counting me when I don’t actually use it. And Zuckerberg’s attitude seemed to be that if you didn’t like Facebook, you shouldn’t use Facebook. I COMPLETELY disagree with this sentiment on his part because I think it completely ignores how many people can’t opt out of Facebook at this point, but luckily, I can opt out of Facebook.

...Or so I thought.

Except that I requested deletion of my Facebook, and they confirmed deletion and said I was scheduled for deletion within two weeks, and then...just never deleted my Facebook. Which I only know because they keep sending me emails about me being tagged and people sending me messages (even though I also keep requesting to be unsubscribed from those emails). (And also my friends still on Facebook confirm for me that I’m still on there.) I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to get in touch with Facebook but...you can’t. It’s impossible. Try not being on Facebook and finding ANY contact information for Facebook other than a paper mailing address. If you find the contact info, please let me know!!! They have zero available email addresses, they don’t respond to their Twitter, and the phone number that circulates online is a dangerous scam stealing your social security numbers (which Facebook knows and warns you about but still doesn’t provide you with any way to contact them).

So my anger with Facebook isn’t just about gathering and selling my data, it’s the culmination of years of mistrust and knowing it’s not healthy for me in general and then BEING DENIED MY RIGHT TO DELETE IT AND BEING RENDERED COMPLETELY POWERLESS. Like, the longer this has gone on, and the longer I have realized that there is literally nothing I can do to get Facebook to delete my account, the angrier and angrier I have gotten.

So. That’s Facebook. As for the Alexa, well. You’re right. It sits in my house and is probably recording everything that happens in the house. Which is...basically nothing. I’m only home a few waking hours a day because I work full-time. I travel most weekends, so I’m not there on the weekends. I live alone, so I don’t talk much in my house. I have people over maybe two or three times a year, and then I can unplug the Alexa and stick it out in the garage and I feel relatively okay about that???? I might be kidding myself there, but, if worse comes to worst, I can throw the Alexa out entirely, and I think I’m okay. So I feel mostly in control of Alexa and its eavesdropping on me.

I worry more about the fact that I’m supporting Amazon in the first place, since I disagree with most of Amazon’s policies. I feel really guilty about that and do want to extract myself from the Amazon dependency I developed. My only shopping option in my town was Wal-Mart, and at the time when I moved there a few years ago I thought it was better to support Amazon than Wal-Mart. Now I’m not so sure about that (although I guess the lesson I’ve been learning is that there is no company I really want to give my money to).

I also worry more about the fact that I have a smartphone than an Alexa. I was very, very late to adopt a smartphone--years and years after everyone else had them--because I was very wary of them. I’m used to them now, but I don’t like how much information the smartphone has on me. I’ve given up a little bit, because I just...did. But the information the Alexa has is tiny compared to how much my phone has. And we all know that we have our suspicions that the phones are listening to us the whole time. And I *do* talk on the phone. I don’t talk much in my house, but my phone is the device I use to talk on (I talk a lot while walking around the neighborhood, waiting between classes at work, etc.). So the phone is getting every conversation I have, not the Alexa.

All that said: I don’t know that I can completely disconnect now. I shouldn’t have a smartphone, or a Twitter, or a Tumblr, but I decided that at a certain point what I’m really going to strive to do is be conscious about this technology and work to shape it in better ways. Is this naive and idealistic of me? Yes. Undoubtedly. I have nothing I can say to defend myself on that point. I absolutely should just unplug...but that’s difficult to do, and I do feel like (as the EU is trying here) there are ways to make this technology less dangerous.

Anyway. That’s my thought process. I think we all make the decisions we feel fit what we’ve considered. I don’t care much for Facebook, so it’s easy for me to disconnect (well, it would be if Facebook would let me, which is part of my major Facebook problem). I find Alexa useful and because I don’t do much around it and it’s connected to less stuff than my cell phone to begin with, it doesn’t bother me as much, and I feel like I can change my mind and get rid of it fairly easily. Of course, I could be wrong about that. I always thought I could delete my Facebook at any time, too.

Everyone might get done reading this and think, Wow, EGT is an absurd human being who makes zero sense. That is a completely true statement.

Bea & Buster

Bea: Again Bea: We're having this conversation again Buster: What have I done wrong now? Bea: You tell me Bea: If it's such a long list Buster: Actually, it's a non-existent list as far as I'm concerned but you clearly disagree Buster: So I'm just waiting to hear it Bea: Don't play as dumb as you evidently fucking are Bea: How have you potentially got ANOTHER girl pregnant, how did you not learn your lesson from the first very near miss? Buster: How do you even know about that, first of all? Buster: And secondly, it's an entirely different situation this time so you don't need to speak to me like that Bea: Does it matter? It's true because you're not telling me otherwise so Bea: Entirely different! How? You still haven't left School, you still live at Home, you still don't earn money of your own Buster: Mum, please, calm down Buster: It's different for so many reasons, like not being an accident and something I'm happy about Buster: Plus, I've almost finished school, we have a flat and Rio earns her own money Bea: If you think you're any more equipped to deal with a child than you were, what was it Bea: 6? 7? Months ago Bea: then you have no idea what you want for this to not be an accident Buster: In case you haven't noticed, a lot's changed between then and now Bea: You've lost the sense you were born with is what's happened, Jesus Christ Buster: Don't Bea: You lied to me Buster: I didn't Buster: I meant what I said when I said it Buster: But things change Bea: You mean you got her pregnant and now you're rolling with it Bea: just be honest, don't say you wanted this Buster: I am being honest Buster: We planned this 'cause it's what we both want Buster: I thought we had to wait for all the reasons you're saying but I realised it's bullshit Buster: We don't have to so we didn't Bea: Oh, is it? Bea: Well I've lived it mate so I think I would know Buster: Well, I'm not you or dad Buster: This wasn't a surprise to me Bea: No, I'm sure you plan to right all our wrongs Bea: Well, good luck, truly Buster: I plan to do a good job, that doesn't mean you didn't Buster: I don't need luck Bea: I don't know what you need, Buster Buster: Yeah you do Buster: You can say what you think Bea: What is the point Bea: You have never and will never listen Buster: I'm listening Buster: You don't need to shut me out Bea: I just don't want more kids getting hurt in this fucking family, alright Bea: Rio should know better Bea: You should know better Buster: She does. We both do. I get what you're scared of but it's not gonna happen Bea: You can't guarantee that Buster: I can Buster: 'Cause I would die for them, mum so I'll do whatever it takes Buster: And so would Rio Bea: Yeah fat lot of use my dead dad was to me Buster: I know, but you and dad were more than enough for me, everything you did and you don't even think you did it right Buster: So imagine what I can do, 'cause of what you've given me Buster: I know I can do it and that I will Bea: Why do you want to Buster: Why wouldn't I? Bea: You could go anywhere, do anything, be anyone Buster: I still can Bea: Maybe, but you still want to be married to Rio and tied down with kids Bea: I'll never understand it, I don't know where this has come from Buster: You make it sound like that's something that holds me back when it's the opposite Buster: I know this seems sudden 'cause of what I said and I don't expect you to understand Bea: It is sudden Bea: it doesn't just seem it Buster: Well, I was gonna wait before telling you for that exact reason, but here we are Bea: Oh yes it would've been much better for me if you'd waited 'til she was about to drop Buster: Obviously I would have done it before then, come on Bea: No, nothing you do is obvious any more Bea: You've waited 'til your hand was forced Bea: every single time Buster: Look, I could make you understand my every motivation, but you're not my fucking therapist, are you? Buster: I was gonna tell you soon, but not this soon Buster: You're not meant to, it's not personal, like Bea: Perhaps if you had one we wouldn't be here talking about this now Bea: and don't talk to me like I don't know Buster: Hilarious Buster: Then don't act like I was deliberately withholding the info from you Bea: We both know I wasn't first on your list Buster: You would've been, if I'd made one Buster: But like you said, forced hand Bea: Bullshit Bea: Her family always knows everything first Buster: No, her mum works shit out before anyone's ready for her to know it Buster: That's not the same thing Bea: Fair, should have seen this coming Bea: More fool me for having some faith Buster: Don't be like that Buster: I wanted to tell you 'cause I know I fucked up by making you think you had more time to accept this than you do Buster: When I said that I was scared, okay, to want what I want when I want it, but I'm not scared anymore Buster: Long story short Bea: Well, it's done now Bea: You can't change your mind again Buster: I'm not going to Buster: Jesus, give me some credit Buster: It just really fucks with your head when you want something for a really long time that you aren't allowed to want Bea: But now you're allowed Buster: To a degree, sure Bea: Why Bea: Who told you this was okay Buster: It is Buster: But that's all it is 'cause we aren't doing things at the speed everyone else wants Buster: So fuck that Buster: I don't want okay Bea: What do you want, Buster? Buster: I want not to waste anymore time just 'cause it might make you all feel better Buster: 'Cause then again it might not so why the fuck am I bothering? Bea: Then you've got everything you want Buster: Yeah Buster: I do Buster: I'm gonna finally live fully Buster: Be happy and not stick with the watered down version that's more palatable for this fucking family Bea: Don't be so bloody dramatic, who has ever told you to be unhappy Buster: You're all so concerned with not upsetting things that it's the only thing that ends up happening Buster: You've literally always told me what to do and what I want is somehow secondary every time to whatever you think the real goal is Buster: You don't want me to go to Trinity even though I'm sick to the back teeth of posh cunts, that's just one tiny example Buster: So it's not dramatic, it's factual Bea: I'm either that cunt mother or concerned with upsetting things but I ain't both, you don't get to feel that sorry for yourself Bea: You were a child, you are Bea: what was I meant to do, leave you to it? Buster: That's what you've ended up doing, regardless Bea: Again, not enough hugs or too many, Buster Bea: Which is it Buster: I'm not trying to make this about you Buster: It isn't Buster: I'm saying, it's too late to treat me like a child now when you literally haven't since Christ knows when Bea: You don't get to tell me how it is Buster: It happened to me so yeah I do Buster: You let Nance leave and you left me in that house all on my own and you never asked what I was doing Bea: You were not on your own Bea: You were 15, you didn't want me in your business Buster: That isn't stopping you now Bea: Because somehow we've reached this age without marriage and pregnancy so Buster: 'Cause that's the worst thing I could do, yeah? Buster: Jesus, you've got no idea Bea: Yes, Buster, it's pretty fucking bad Buster: No, it's not Buster: It's the best thing that's happened to me Buster: Who I was before, what I used to do, that was the bad shit Bea: You're going to resent it Bea: this lost time Buster: I resent all the time I wasn't with her, that's what we lost Buster: I resent that I was unhappy enough to get so fucked up that a girl literally assaulted me too, obviously Buster: But pick your battles, mum Bea: You're saying this like I can do anything about that Bea: You'll see firsthand how abysmally the system fails sexual assault victims, what do you want me to do, I can't make it un-happen to you, I'm sorry Buster: You can stop making Rio the problem when she clearly isn't Buster: You can easily do that Bea: When have I said she was Buster: By acting like being with her has or will ruin my life Bea: It isn't her it's that you're even thinking about either of these things at your age Bea: I had to grow up too fast, so did your dad Bea: neither of you needed to Bea: that's all I'm trying to say Buster: You can just admit that I ruined yours if that's how you feel but don't project it on to me Buster: I want my baby Bea: It's not about you Bea: If you'd like a rundown of what the fuck happened to me we can go there but I wasn't a child long before you were on the scene Bea: Before any of them Buster: And I wasn't a child before this Buster: You think that we didn't have to grow up fast but we did Buster: It already happened Bea: You didn't Buster: Just 'cause it wasn't on the same scale as what happened to you, doesn't mean it didn't Bea: I don't want to talk about this anymore Buster: Fine Buster: You could ask me how my exams are going or how my child is Bea: I know Bea: if there was something wrong you'd come to me, it's what I live for, remember? Buster: Stop Bea: Don't tell me to stop Buster: Don't you think it's really fucked that we only talk when there's a 'problem?' Buster: Jesus, don't you want it to be different Bea: Maybe Bea: but it won't change Buster: Not with that attitude, no Bea: Fucking hell, you sound like one of them Buster: It's not us and them Bea: No, it is Bea: and I thought you were like me Bea: but you're not Buster: I am like you and that's your problem Bea: Don't flatter yourself Buster: Don't lie to yourself Bea: You reckon? Buster: Yeah Bea: Nah Buster: Don't be stupid Bea: Nah Bea: This is why we're not alike Bea: I didn't get to do this, I couldn't talk to Tess and Fearghal like this Buster: Take it up with dad 'cause I'm like him too Buster: I don't get to be all yours Bea: Who's asking Norman Bates Bea: Christ Buster: You raised me to be like this, if you don't like it, do better Bea: You're not a child anymore, apparently Bea: this bullshit is your own now Bea: unlucky Buster: Now that it suits you you're taking that on board Buster: Unsurprising Bea: I'm capable of listening Bea: A trait you've not inhereted Buster: I'm capable Buster: I just choose to be selective Buster: If you want me to listen don't chat so much shit, like Bea: And he wonders why I don't want to speak to him Bea: Hilarious, this kid Buster: I know why you don't want to speak to me Buster: It's 'cause I won't do exactly what you tell me, when you tell me Bea: Good God if that was my criteria I'd never speak to anyone Buster: It's just your criteria for being a mum, clearly Bea: I know, absolute madness, knowing what's best and being disappointed when you do the opposite Bea: Sorry I didn't pick up the Hippie dippie tell you every mistake you make is wonderful parenting bible Ali clearly did Buster: Name one time you've actually known what was best for me? Bea: Literally all the time Bea: I knew you hadn't been listening Buster: Wrong Bea: Oh that's convenient, yet again Buster gets to say what's right and wrong, where's the impartial adjudicator or are you now above all authorities? Buster: Get one, if it'll make you feel better Buster: I get to say how I feel about how my life is, sorry if that messes with your world view Bea: I'm sure it feels lovely, that pissing, puking, screaming shit bag is miles away yet Bea: it's a nice fuzzy concept Buster: You really don't think anything of me, do you? Buster: Like I'm literally that stupid and naive Bea: You've met babies Bea: you've got no idea what it's like to raise one Bea: so yes, you are naive Buster: I know it's not fucking rose tinted Buster: Christ Bea: You know it in an abstract way but you wouldn't have done it if you knew it Bea: what it's like to have something so useless solely dependent on you, for everything Buster: It's done Buster: Deal with it Bea: I won't be Bea: This is very much your mess Buster: It's not a mess Buster: But if that's your way of bowing out then go on Buster: It's happening whether you like it or not and whether you're involved or not Bea: Where do you think I'm going? Buster: That's up to you Buster: Do what you want Bea: Generous Buster: It's been said Bea: I don't doubt Buster: Here we fucking go Buster: Say it then Bea: What? Buster: What you're dying to Bea: Still don't know Buster: Yeah you do Buster: We always come back to money, don't we? Bea: Well you seem to be fond of it, yeah Buster: Who's fault is that? Buster: I didn't give it to myself Bea: I imagine mine Bea: Usually is Bea: I'd be cruel if I left you with none Buster: Fuck's sake Bea: You can't be out here buying Ferraris with my money, and telling me to fuck off for the opportunity Bea: Grow up and go without or deal Buster: Fine Bea: Although, free advice, sell it and get a family car sooner rather than later Buster: That was obvious even for you Bea: You're the one with the masterplan Bea: How bad you want this kid not coincide with how bad you want a minivan, no? Bea: Funny that Buster: Hilarious Bea: I wish it was Buster: You are, console yourself with that, like Bea: Thanks Buster: So welcome Buster: Unlike your attempt at advice Bea: Well one of you better get used to walking then Buster: You're on a roll with the craic Bea: You know Bea: Lived there longer than you have Buster: Again, that's on you, mum Bea: Yeah, what a drag having to live in one of the most vibrant capitals in the world, ugh Bea: if only I'd stayed in Tallaght Buster: Maybe ask yourself why me and Nance would both rather be here, that's all Buster: Or why you didn't really commit and send me away to boarding school Bea: Yeah, that'd suit this victim complex you've developed Buster: It'd suit your us vs them isolation model you've built too Buster: Everyone wins Bea: You're blowing that out of proportion Bea: Just 'cos I don't wanna be in everyone's pocket at all times Buster: 'Course I am Buster: For the drama, you know Bea: God there's easier ways to act out Buster: How many times, it's not about you Bea: Sure sounds like it Bea: or you just nitpicking every choice I've made for the fun of the thing Buster: Like, I'm sorry you play a role in my life Buster: Jesus, I don't know how to do this Buster: I wish I could explain myself better, honestly Bea: Well come find me when you work it out Bea: I'll be here Buster: Like you said, what's gonna change? Buster: I can't write you a fucking essay Bea: If you were in the country longer than five minutes we'd stand a chance of talking in person Buster: I've been in London for ages Buster: Get a better excuse Bea: Yeah, using our house as a doss again without asking Buster: Hardly Buster: Tempted as you do make me Bea: Go right ahead Bea: I'm sure your wife would be thrilled Buster: Like that's what motivates you ever Bea: Making her see how childish you're capable of being? No, not my primary motivation but it's an enticing idea at present Buster: Caring about her at all Buster: You've made yourself pretty clear Buster: And yeah, you'd love it if she left me Bea: I don't dislike her but I'm not going to pretend to be happy about what you've done, no Buster: Well I'm not gonna pretend I'm sorry that I'm not gonna be alone forever like Nance is 'cause I'm so fucked up that I can't handle love Bea: That's a nice thing to say about your sister Bea: even if it is to get at me Buster: It's the truth Buster: She knows it Bea: Well she's getting help, isn't she Buster: She still fell in love with someone the same age as you and dad are Buster: So Bea: Oh and an inappropriate age gap trumps incest? Bea: Let's not point fingers Buster: It does when its clearly about you and him, yeah Bea: But your situation is totally not about us Bea: Yes, I remember Buster: I'm glad you're keeping up Buster: Better late than never Bea: Good God Bea: at least Nancy has the good grace to know she's fucked up Buster: I know I am Buster: I'm just not begging your forgiveness for it like she will Bea: Well I won't be begging yours Bea: Shit happens, kid Buster: But only to you, right? Buster: Yeah, I got that Bea: So I beat you in trauma top trumps Bea: get over it, not one you need to win Buster: It's a bit hard to get over something when you're told you're playing the victim if you dare to bring it up Buster: Just so you know Buster: If you actually wanna deal with it in any way and not just repress it, I mean Bea: Oh that's what this is Bea: We're healing are we Bea: Fantastic Buster: Fuck off Buster: From the bottom of my heart Bea: Say how you really feel Buster: I can't do this with you all day Buster: Other shit to do Bea: As long as revise is one of them Bea: Couldn't be happier for you Buster: Practice papers is Buster: Feel free to celebrate Bea: 🍾 Buster: Maybe ask your daughter how hers are going? If you wanna give out free advice so badly Buster: We're only a few texts away from a breakdown Bea: I know you're having fun labouring under the impression I've not said a word to either of you since you were 10 but I have spoken to her, actually, recently so Buster: Good for you Buster: Earn the points where you can, like Bea: Yep, that's how parenting works Bea: you'll do great Buster: I wouldn't ask you if I didn't know Buster: Don't worry Bea: Thank fuck Buster: Are we done? Bea: You keep talking Buster: And trying Buster: More fool me Buster: I'll shut up now then Bea: How and where? Buster: I'm not gonna write you a list Bea: You can't Buster: I won't Bea: Same result for me Bea: at least you could say you'd actually tried then Buster: We can both say whatever we want Buster: Just not to each other, that's how this works Bea: Dramatic Bea: I don't talk to anyone Bea: Isolation, remember Buster: How could I forget? Buster: If you wanna talk you know where I'll be, with them, like Bea: Good stuff Buster: Not really Buster: But if it ends the conversation quicker, then sure Bea: It's where you want to be Bea: You can't feel sorry for yourself on that one Buster: Don't act like you care what I want Bea: Regardless Bea: It is Bea: No one is forcing you there Buster: I don't want this Buster: Right now, me and you, I don't want it Bea: You've made that abundantly clear Bea: thanks Bea: so go then Buster: I mean, I don't want to leave it like this Buster: Please Bea: What do you want from me? Bea: Posed as an actual question Bea: Not rhetorical frustration Buster: Can we not just find a way to do better than this Buster: It's not good enough Buster: Not from me either Bea: I Bea: Believe it or not I try Buster: I know that Buster: I mean what I said about everything you and dad have done for me, I need you to believe me Bea: You said a lot of other things Bea: We both did Buster: Yeah but I said that before I was angry Buster: So that's the truest thing Bea: No denying who's child you are Bea: Alright, I believe you Buster: I'm sorry Buster: Not for what I'm doing but for what I said Bea: Okay Bea: That's good enough Bea: Do you believe me? Buster: I want to Bea: It's a start Buster: What do we do now? Bea: Do you want to consult the Cavantes or should I? Bea: Apologize until we can hug it out, I assume Buster: Weird Buster: Let's not hug Bea: If it's all the same to you Buster: Are you gonna tell Dad and Nance about the baby? Bea: Would you rather do it yourself Bea: I can or I can keep quiet, whatever works for you Buster: Yeah but I don't want you to have to keep it a secret for me Buster: I don't know when I'd tell them Bea: How pregnant is she? Bea: If Ali said I don't remember now Buster: 10 weeks Bea: That gives you 2 weeks to be finished with all your exams and psych yourself up for those conversations Bea: I'm hardly going to tell either of them about this conversation if you don't, not my finest hour Buster: Alright Bea: Is it? Buster: It has to be Bea: It's good news, remember? Bea: You're not ashamed Buster: For us, I'm not that naive, remember? Buster: Just 'cause this baby isn't Chlo's doesn't mean dad and Nance will automatically be thrilled Bea: Probably not Bea: then Rio will talk to your sister and she'll be fine Buster: Maybe Buster: You're still not Buster: Dad won't be Bea: What's he gonna do? Bea: What am I? Buster: Well, I don't really wanna have another convo like this with him Buster: And it'd be nice if my kid had a set of Grandparents that weren't weird hippies, so sue me Bea: I can tell him Bea: Guess what you're son's done now Bea: and it will, we're not actually going to disown you Bea: poor child's done nothing wrong either, though surprised you want it anywhere near me Buster: No, he should hear it from me Buster: I did it Buster: Are you sure? 'Cause you sounded very tempted not long ago Bea: I've been tempted since you learned to talk Bea: Doesn't mean I will or would Buster: It's 'cause I love you that it's this hard for me to talk to you, you know Bea: That and I'm a massively cold bitch, yeah, yeah Bea: I know Buster: That and it actually really matters to me what you think, whatever I say to try and prove the opposite Bea: It'll seem disingenuous if I say I'm proud of you now Bea: But I am Buster: You don't have to be yet, I know I haven't earned it Buster: But I will Bea: What are you talking about Bea: Of course you have Buster: Come on Buster: Neither of us are buying that Bea: Jesus, I'm being sincere here, I mean it Buster: So am I, you don't have to backtrack that hard, like Buster: It's alright Bea: Bloody hell, Buster Bea: You might do and say some incredibly stupid things sometimes or just things I don't necessarily agree with because let's not start this back up Bea: but I'm always proud of you Buster: Okay, mum Bea: How many examples failures do you need around you to know you ain't one? Bea: we've got enough, christ Buster: Stop being nice to me, I'm not gonna name my kid after you Bea: I'd be angry if you did Bea: Awful name Buster: So would he 'cause it's gonna be a boy so Buster: Awkward Bea: Wait, it's a boy or you want it to be Bea: did they see on the scan Buster: I just think it is Bea: Okay Bea: Gutted, was gonna lord that info over Ali Buster: You can, 'cause I'll be right Buster: What did she say? Buster: Like does everyone know now in a 5 mile radius or what? Bea: Well find out because poor Rio was in boy's clothes for the first months of her life because Caleb was convinced but also didn't care to check Bea: No, it wasn't like that, she isn't, for all my talk Bea: It wasn't so much she said it as she said something that didn't quite make sense without knowing Bea: I'm not completely oblivious Buster: I've seen the pics, she looked cute Buster: But yeah, obviously I'll find out and tell you first Buster: Well, that's fucking mysterious Buster: Okay Bea: Right answer Bea: Well I don't know, I kind of blacked out after the penny dropped to be honest with you Buster: How much do you wanna bet? You know Dad will be in on that when he calms down Buster: Fair, I really did want you to find out differently than that, I swear Bea: I'll wait 'til Billie has done whatever divination she's gonna do Bea: Get that hot tip, thank you very much Bea: I know, shit always comes out Bea: I tried so hard to avoid everyone when I found out and then your Dad shows up like an idiot so there goes that masterplan Buster: I really do take after him Buster: Fucking hell Bea: Try and sound more appalled, he'll love that Buster: Sorry but we both know you're the one with the more impressive traits Buster: He's just tall Bea: Suck-up Bea: How are you gonna paint me when you're winning him 'round? Just what? Buster: That's for him to know and you to find out when he tries to lord it over you after Bea: About right 🙄 Buster: Are you actually gonna be in London while I still am or not likely? Bea: Should be, working with some Billionaire twat in Surrey next so I can stay Home and commute easily Buster: Good, I need you to be around in case dad murders me Buster: Well, tries, he's too old now, like Bea: 😏 If this goes too well for you I'm telling him that Bea: just so you know Buster: I deserve that Buster: It's not my fault he's got the granddad look down already Buster: Have a word, seriously Bea: Oi Bea: You can tell me to fuck off but that's taking it too far Buster: At least we've found the line Bea: Trust you Buster: Maybe I'll bribe him with a Ferrari, yeah? Buster: He'd love that Bea: I'm sure Rio is less thrilled about you regifting Buster: He can't have hers, he needs midlife crisis red or something Bea: We're thirty fucking nine Bea: It'd be more amusing if you weren't actively making us grandparents before we hit 40, GOD Buster: Good news Buster: We've worked out when It'll be so you can go full meltdown Bea: Go on Buster: January 14th but if he's anything like me, who knows actually Buster: Might get away with not buying you a Christmas gift, like Bea: Ha Bea: You owe me presents forever for nearly killing me Bea: At least you'll have a full term of uni under your belt Bea: Unlike you rudely deciding to show up in my first week of 3rd year Buster: Almost like I planned it, right? Buster: I told you I did Bea: I don't think you planned it that precisely Buster: We can say I did though Bea: Style it out, kid Buster: Would you have not kept us if dad really didn't want to? Bea: I don't know what I would've done, is the truthful but unsatisfying answer Bea: I don't know what the fuck mess my life would be without him in general so Bea: I wouldn't have put you into care, I know that much, never Buster: That's not an admission about me and Rio, by the way, I was just thinking about Chlo and that whole situation Bea: I saw her in Claridges the other day, with her Mum Bea: she looked miserable, they both did Bea: not shaping up to be the glamorous experience she thought it would be, pregnancy Buster: She didn't think about it, that was the problem Buster: I still see him in school but I can't say I'm gutted she left Bea: I can't say I was devastated she pretended not to know me, suddenly Bea: Silly cow Buster: It's fucked up isn't it, that we all have to just pretend none of it happened Bea: It is Buster: It's another reason I have to be in Dublin instead of here Buster: If I saw her out shopping I wouldn't know how to do that Bea: I do know you aren't just there because you want Bea: You don't have to explain Buster: I know it's just Buster: I don't wanna talk about it with any of them Buster: But that doesn't mean I don't Bea: Because it hasn't happened to them Buster: Nance doesn't even know that kid could be mine too Buster: Even though I hope it's not Bea: I mean Bea: I'm not saying it wouldn't be a shock but she knows you slept with her so Bea: it's always a possibility, you don't necessarily have to tell her about all the headfuckery Bea: but she'd understand, it wasn't an ideal situation ever Buster: There's such a weird disconnect, like I don't know anything about what Chlo is doing or this kid but I still have to think about it Bea: I know Bea: It's fucked up Buster: If you see it and it looks like me, don't tell me Bea: You looked like a naked molerat, never mind anything close to human Buster: Cheers Buster: At least I'm not ginger though so Bea: This is why she stole your oxygen Buster: When did you find out you were having twins? Bea: 12 weeks Bea: Thought your Dad would definitely do a runner then Buster: Is it really so much worse carrying two than one or is that a myth? Bea: Double trouble Bea: could be 'cos I had you two first but it was definitely easier second time around with one Buster: Yeah Buster: And 'cause you weren't at uni probably Bea: Maybe Buster: Cheers for not dying when I tried to kill you Bea: You know Bea: What'd your Dad do without me Buster: Literally Buster: I love him but like Buster: He's also a twat Bea: You have that in common Buster: Good one Bea: Thank you Buster: Leave me alone, mother, I have practice papers to ace, thank you Buster: Who knew you were so chatty? Bea: Piss off

So, first of all, I am super excited to have found somebody as excited about the clone as I am. I've been thinking about it a lot since Butch posted his video. But, I'm confused, because I thought this was ten years into the future? Wouldn't original Danny be older? Like 24 I think? Aside from that, you guys got some really good ideas about this character, and I've been laughing at some of the comments for a good few minutes.

AHHHH someone else who likes the clone!Welcome friend!!! 8) lmao, I was browsing the Phantom tag yesterday waswas so disheartened by how many people were irritable at all of thedesigns or downright kicking them to the curb. Which, isunderstandable, everyone has their tastes, and I agree that most ofthem are just…..Put Them Back embodiments, but it was still sad tosee so little interest in the Clone.

Because its such a good idea ripe withpotential, both for TUE levels of darkness and for hilariousscenarios. For once (ONCE) Butch has done okay by me.

And now to actually answer yourquestion, lmao: Yes, you are correct, the original concept was Vladfor ten years into the future, with a teenage Danny clone (I do admitthat’s super squick, like Vlad do you have no other hobbies besidesbeing fucking creepy? Go outside and play some tennis my dude.) sincethe video was a part 2 to the original Phantom concepts for the tenyear anniversary. However, at least in the ideas and concepts I’vebeen talking about and personally throwing around, I’ve gotten rid ofthe ten year span.

Because it literally doesn’t makesense.

I have contempt for the officialPhantom timeline bc its so inconsistent, but a majority of peoplehave it taking place over a two year time span, based on the twosummer episodes. (This is something I personally don’t agree with,but I have no evidence to argue it so I’m stuck like a petulantchild grumbling in the corner) and Vlad gives Valerie her gear in S1Ep10, Shades of Grey. I cannot recall if it was specifically statedin canon Vlad was using her to get Danny’s DNA, but I’m trustingthe wiki bc I really don’t want to endure re-watching Kindred Spiritsand D-Stabalized. If we assume that this had been Vlad’s goal fromthe start (something I disagree with and will touch more aboutbelow), that means that he’s been gathering Danny’s DNA for about ayear to two years if we estimate heavily with the nonsense timebetween the episodes.

In that time span, he figured out howto do the cloning, built the equipment, went through countlessprototypes to figure out all the bumps and snags, made severaldecently “functional” clones (Dani and the one he fucking murdersas a display), made the “perfect” one, and figured out exactlywhat he needed to stabilize an artificial hybrid of ghost and humanorigin.

In two years max.

It would not take him ten fuckin yearsto recreate a successful perfect clone. Even if everything wasdestroyed twice and he lost Valerie’s “assistance”. And thereason for that is because he already knows how. The hard part isdone. Once you know how to do something through so much trial anderror, you know what not to do and what you should do the nexttime around. Vlad doesn’t need to re-figure out how to make astable, perfect clone again, he can just get the equipment, the DNA,whatever and just do it.

Which he was most likely attemptingto already do in D-stabilized.

[Edit: I neglected to look on thewiki before writing this entire thing bc I was confident I know thematerial and apparently I need to get a reality check on my ego bc Iwas completely misremembering D-Stabalized. The fallowing should betaken with gratuitous lumps of salt bc I’m salty at this discoveryand also I haven’t changed anything in it.]

Why do you think hewas going after Dani? Why would he want that information of “Whyare you so stable?” if he wasn’t trying again? If he wasn’t at thepoint that he NEEDED to stabilize something? For future knowledge?Please. If Vlad was truly going to make another perfect clone, hewould not wait several months after loosing the first doing literallynothing but tormenting Danny and being an ass, nor until after he’sfigured out Dani. He was working on the Clone project for a long timeunder everyone’s noses in the first place, so who’s to say he wasn’tagain?

I’m saying Vlad wasliterally within inches of succeeding in D-stabalized. That healready had a second Clone ready to stabilize.

[Edit: I was incorrect in thinkingVlad only wanted Dani to learn why she’s stable, he wanted to use herto make another perfect clone. I was close, but not close enough. Iam still standing by my theory, however, canon can suck it. It’sstill at least feasible.]

Hartman suggestedin the video, as I’m sure you know, that the Clone (I call himDaniel bc there’s literally no way he’s not namedDaniel.) has some of Vlad in him. And this, my friend, melds so well with where canon dropped off.

Vlad wanted andattempted to stabilize the clones with Danny’s full DNA, probably soit would be 100% Danny, enough to the point he was willing to murderDani to figure her out/use her. However, after failing to get themid-morph from Danny (failure 1) and failing to get anything fromDani (failure 2), Vlad would be unlikely to try the same thingsagain. I would also like to think he’d also be unlikely to continuing to announce “OI I’M CLONEING YOU” to Danny, but it’sVlad so you never know.

He would be forcedto think of something else.

There is nothing incanon suggesting that Vlad couldn’t use his own mid-morph tostabalize a clone. He never brings it up, never explains why themid-morph is the critical link aside from the fact that it just is.There’s very little info about just how these clones are made, sothere’s no known rules to what could work and what wouldn’t. A possible reason this might not work is that it could function likebody parts or blood types, where you need a match in order for it tobe properly accepted. In that case, however, its just figuring outwhat you need to tweak in order to force an acceptance, somethingprobably made easier to do when you’re in control of the entiregenetic sequence you’re fiddling with.

This would not taketen years to do. None of it would. It would take at most, I think ayear. Maybe two, but that’s pushing it. I also have a theorythat Vlad was being so obtuse in Season 3 was to purposefullydistract Danny, but take that as you will.

This is all of myfancy way of explaining why my personal ideas are set so close to theactual canon and kicking that gross ten years to the curb.

As for my forgotten notion about why Idon’t think Vlad started cloning from Valerie’s beginning was becauseVlad was still mostly focused on Maddie up until Maternal Instincts,which occurs 6 episodes after Shades of Grey. Shades of Greyis only three episodes from Bitter Reunions as well.That’s a pretty small amount of time for someone still (reasonably)sane to go “I liked that kid, I want him to be my son. I shouldclone him.”

I’d also like to state that in the fourepisodes Vlad appears in before Kindred Spirits (not including TUE)but after Maternal Instincts, not once is his main goal Danny.Nor is it ever Maddie, either. Danny becomes a factor in MillionDollar Ghost, however his main goal is still stealing the portal. InReign Storm, he’s more inclined to use Danny than to try to make himhis son, bc again: his goal is the artifacts. In Secret Weapons, Vladisn’t even interested in Danny when he’s dropped in the middleof his lab. Tbh, I can’t for the life of me figure out what Vlad’sgoal was in the whole sibling battle thing, he really just fucked hisplans up himself in that one. In Masters of All Time, his goal wasthe cure, and again, had no problems using Danny as a pawn.

Kindred Spirits is the first place inthe entire series where we see the extent of how far he’s willing togo to get Danny to be his son. The first episode where it’s his maingoal.

I just realized how close MaoT andKinSpirits are, I wonder if Vlad triggered the Ectoacne flare workingwith the ectoplasm for the clones? Hmmm, interesting.

Anyway, the point is: Vlad kept hiscloning stuff a secret, but for how long remains a mystery. Mostlybecause there’s no point in time where it becomes obvious just howdesperate he is to have Danny. Is it when he saw an opportunity withValerie? Or is it after Danny ruins his attempts to get the Ring ofRage back from Pariah by blowing up the ectosuit so he was just like“Well fuck, now what do I do to keep myself busy?”

Getting back onto the topic of Cloneand Original Danny, there’s a second, lesser reason I’ve personallybumped the time skip, and that’s because there would be literallyZero conflict between a 14 year old and a 24 year old.

OlderDanny would kick his ass, trainingfrom Vlad be damned.

OlderDanny would also not be fazed asmuch as a younger Danny as his identity being perverted by a clone.This is because the age gap would automatically render them as beingtwo different people. OlderDanny would not see the clone as himself,at least not fully, because he’s already a mature adult. The clonecould not torment Danny with the fact that he’s him, that he’sstealing anything, that he’s threatening his notion of being andsense of self. Because OlderDanny has nothing to fear about a youngerversion of himself; he’s stronger, wiser, and different enough. Thedynamic simply doesn’t work. This is why Danny could be okay withDani: he doesn’t see himself in her. He doesn’t think of her as aclone, as the doppelganger. Because she’s a girl, she’s younger,she’s different. She isn’t him in his eyes.

With an identical copy, that’s notsomething you can avoid or ignore. Can’t deny that its not your facetwisting into that evil smirk that looks so wrong because itsfamiliar but not. Its you, but its not, and its uncomfortable,its an invasion of privacy, the ultimate identity theft. Its a personthat wears your face, sees with your eyes, speaks with your voice,thinks with your brain, and bleeds with your blood. And yet its notyou.

The closest thing Danny had to this wasDan. But Dan could be defeated. Dan could be made so that he neverexisted in the first place, completely avoided.

Daniel could not.

Daniel’s creation is out of Danny’scontrol, his existence never takes into account what Danny wants orcares, because its done at Vlad’s whims. And that’s the worstpart: the lack of control. To know that an identical yet completelywrong version of yourself exists against your will and you haveabsolutely no control over it is torture, especially for someone whoalready had cause to fear himself once before. Sure, Danny can fightDaniel, suck him up into a thermos, and maybe kick it into the ghostzone to try to be rid of him forever, but he would still existand he could always come back. Unlike Dan. And there’snothing Danny could do about it.

What even could be do? Try todestabilize him? Ask clockwork to erase him from existence? Lock himin a thermos and bury him deep in the ice caps? Kill him?

Would Danny truly be the person to tryany of those?

In other words, the closer Daniel is tobeing like Danny, the worse effect it would have. So its all aboutmaximizing that to get the full potential of the conflict. Dannyneeds a reason to see Daniel’s creation as the ultimate line crossed,the “This has gone too far” moment. Danny needs a reasonto not only despise, but fear his clone.

There are some….problems, with this,and I’ve already used them in my argument: the fact that it another you is too different, you stop seeing it as yourself. AndDaniel is not an identical copy. He has aspects of Vlad in him.There’s a very fine line to be walked, between Daniel being similarenough that it hurts Danny while being different enough to count as adifferent character. The design alone might already doom it. But fuckit, you people can pry my inverted skunk haired baby from my colddead hands.

I realize that this is a very longresponse, and very little of it pertains to what you asked. However,I hope you enjoyed my analysis and my explanation of my personalreasoning. This was a lot of fun to talk about (I can’t remember if Igot into some of the things in other asks or if I’m recalling themfrom a thing I was gonna post but hasn’t gotten to yet. If thereare repeat things, I’m sorry! My memory is v bad.) and I thank youfor the ask!

I also realize that a majority of thisask talks about making Daniel Danny’s worst enemy, which goes againstthe “They slowly become bed buds” ask I got earlier. I receivedthat ask before I really had any ideas of what to do with Daniel, andsince I’m loving this worst enemy idea, the conflict isunderstandable. The friend idea is still on the table tho! All itneeds now is a climax, a trigger, a turning point. Something thatchanges the dynamic to start that “I hate you, but not as much as Idid, and I kinda sorta enjoy your company a little bit.” ball a’rollin.

Fuck if I know what that is tho lmao
