Frigid Steel, Boiling Wraith
Thinking about how pale ore is eerily chill to the touch
about how PV's spells, likely learnt from its father, take on the same shape as nails made out of an ore allegedly related to its parents
about how those spells are pretty much a solid state of soul for a few moments about how solid state of matter is often the most "cold" state, generally speaking
about how cold it's often associated with lack of emotion and corpses
Also thinking about how the knight's spells, learned from the snails, is more raw, more volatile
stated and shown to literally burn opponents, more of a hot blast than a proper solid mass
shaped and named after haunting ghosts, spectres that do not lay to rest, despite soul itself being present in the whole environment and not necesarily directly linked to sentient beings
about how it is strong emotions what fuels their transformation into their more powerful state through the usage of void, a volatile yet maleable substance, and the opposite of light
if you want to, you can get this drawing in full quality and ready to be a phone wallpaper at my kofi page completely free of charge (although i wont be mad if you leave a lil tip)

We'll do it our way
Been reading a bunch of Humans are Space Orcs and the like, and got me thinking - what if when aliens found humanity and our level of technology and method of propulsion for space travel, they decided that since explosions are way too hazardous and risky, that they're just not gonna let us leave on our vessels (via BS alien magic space tech). As a sort of intergalactic rite of passing (and poor results in the past of elevating a species like that), we have to figure out on our own how to not blow ourselves up once in space. But humans can be spiteful. We "have" to go in a direction they want? Fuck that. Aliens put a dome around Earth so we can't leave? Okay, that's a clear and practical problem to solve. Let's fix that instead!
_____________________________________
It had been just over sixty local cycles since First Contact with Humanity, and exactly sixty since the Federation had unanimously deemed it necessary to position a Responsibility Barrier around Earth.
Through countless observation relays, mass field generators, warp inhibitors (and the less spoken of and even less used laser batteries), any vessel - outside of local communication satellites, unmanned research vessels, or suborbital test vehicles - were prevented from leaving the planet.
Upon discovering Humanity, the Exploratory Commission Fleet quickly discovered a very hardy, innovative, diverse, violent, and adaptable advanced civilization on the cusp of entering the interstellar stage. There was one problem. Humans used explosions. For. Everything.
Their orbital spaces were already littered with micro-debris from their regular ventures into the local system. Practically every type of propulsion utilized highly volatile solutions, and they didn't even pretend to hide or be embarrassed by their history of weaponizing, well, anything and everything to be frank.
Wars and violence were common among nearly all sentient species, but there was something… peculiar, about how nonchalant the Human diplomats were about their supposed "solutions" to "tragedies" of the past.
We explained to them the dangers of their methods, showed examples of what happens when such line of thinking, without discarding these explosive ways, leads to - impassable fields of junk around once well traveled planets, now isolated; hastily jettisoned parts causing mayhem and destruction years down the line; entire Habitation Stations and their occupants reduced to faint rings around their homeworld from an "unplanned ignition"
We explained why we could not simply give them our safe technology, as they have to on their own give up the irresponsible ways first, lest they turned what was once safe into yet another means to an end. They "said" they understood, but it was all too clear the Humans would not follow our advice just like that. Hence the Barrier. This really angered the Humans.
They said it was stifling, that it was barbaric to "imprison" them like that. We tried to explained again why, but they would not listen, but we knew better. This had happened before and we would not allow it to happen again. It was for the greater good of both the Humans and the rest of the Galaxy.
For nearly sixty of their cycles, Humanity continued to advance and develop and flourish. We watched them with excitement at every new avenue of research they steered towards, silently encouraged them to keep going with every failure. They were getting close in several fields, we could see that Humanity was on the precipice of the right track. Then, one day, with a slight shimmer enveloping the planet and an eerie silence on all frequencies, the Earth just… vanished.
The Humans kept their true activity a secret, only after careful analysis of seemingly unrelated and unremarkable records did we figure out they were investigating a long abandoned line of research by all others in the galaxy - interdimensional travel. But there were no other traversable dimensions. That had long been tested by everyone - you can twist and bend and cut through the ones we have, but you are always bound to at least one of them.
It remained a mystery as to what truly happened to Humanity. Officially it was called a tragic scientific accident on an unprecedented scale. Earth and Humanity were memorialized as a bright species with infinite potential, but a recklessness that would serve as one of the starkest examples in the annals of Galactic history.
Until, nearly a millennia later, Earth just… popped back in. Right where it would have been had it continued to orbit around their star, almost as if that's exactly what it had been doing.
There was only a memorial station close to its original orbit, and some small research outposts dotted around the local system - it was decided to not terraform or colonize any of Sol's planets or install major stations within the system, as both a sign of respect to the deceased and a warning to all about the dangers of foolish science.
By the time the scrambled and panicked messages reached the nearest Coalition world and a small squad sent to investigate, everything had changed. Not only did they find Earth and Humanity, they were met by dozens of the largest space worthy vessels anyone had ever conceived of let alone dared to construct; orbital shipyards that each would put the production capacity of whole planetary SYSTEMS to shame; and a defiant attitude unmatched even by the previously thought exaggerated tales of our brief history with Humanity before the Vanishing.
The message we received from the Humans was simple:
"Thanks for the advice, but we do things our way. Now, let's start over, from an equal footing, shall we?"
(more while we were gone)

we doin' trans girl wizard shit
I am Lune, or Dee as a nickname. My main blog is @pixelmade42 (but its just shit i reblog and existential/identity crisis) I am a glitch entity, and have existed for 4.5 billion years. I was summoned by this idiot when they cast the worst spell ever. @zaq-is-stuck-in-pseudohell
Tumblr media
My existence is volatile, and so I must ground myself to reality with abstract concepts and parts of other sentient beings. This volatility makes me in constant pain, but at least I have cool glitch powers!
I despise the wizard council from the depths of my soul, and see wizard law not as things to avoid, but as a checklist.
My power is scaling exponentially, and I will forever grow til the end of time.
I look forward to making all of your lives more chaotic, and I swear by the chaos god and the collage monster, an enforcer of entropy, all they touch is returned to a state of disarray, perfect randomness (not to be confused with college monster, which just makes you stressed and educated).
Goodtations and salubye. I wish you all a good death, and a chaotic life

Hello!! I avidly read all your MDZS stuff back in the day and now I’ve followed you into the batfam fandom just to get more of your signature Pangs™. I love all the Tim Drake self-worth issues and whump that’s out there, but do you (or your followers) have any recommendations for fics exploring Jason Todd dealing with Lazarus Pit Madness? As with WWX I do love a beloved character irreversibly changed by a horrific ordeal into something much darker and volatile (:
Also much love to buy back the secrets!!
hi! so pleased that the Pangs have enticed you into my new fixation over here 🥰
i don’t have a ton of recs leaping to mind, but i do have some!
first, i’d be remiss if i didn’t rec The Long Way Home by itsnatalie, now one of my all-time favorite fics and an absolute treat if you’re looking for something plotty and satisfying that takes a deep dive into jason’s psyche. i mean, this is a journey through a sentient labyrinth shaped by jason and tim’s trauma. just. trust me, give this one a read.
i asked my resident jason character study enjoyer @cairoscene, who highly recommends Stargazer by lemonadegarden for jason trauma and healing and a really satisfying jason & bruce dynamic.
i’ll also toss in Identity by Miles_2_Go, which sort of fits the bill because it’s a red robin arc au where tim also gets dunked in the pit, and jason is the one who finds him and helps him deal with the effects—so the jason pov definitely also grapples with his own experiences re: the green juice.
i also think How Fine You Look When Dressed In Rage by ebjameston might be of interest! it’s a hell of a good plotty fic dealing with jason’s return to gotham, also featuring renegade!dick and identity shenanigans. (as a heads up, unlike most of my recs this does not have good dad bruce; usually that’s not what i gravitate toward in a longfic, but i really like this one, especially for the jason and dick characterization.)
would love more recs if anyone has them! this is also relevant to my interests for similar reasons 🤝

i hate getaway with a passion. but i KNOW that dick is GOOD. there has to be a reason why he was one of the hottest mechs aboard (according to jro anyway) sooo uh. reader rly enjoying that nasty spike?
It’s hard doing clerical work all day. It’s a cushy job most of the time, the benefits are good enough, and your skill set is perfect for it. But the mechs are the most infuriating, frustrating, unpredictable part of it. The part that you can’t just push off until later or snap at. You would rather take your chances back sassing Ultra Magnus than any of the volatile mecha onboard the Lost Light.
The worst of them all: Getaway.
You can’t really put your digit on why he’s the worst. He’s charming and funny most of the time, he proclaims to hold Autobot values very close, and he’s well-liked. But in your experience, he can also be passive-aggressive and pushy. It’s not that he strong-arms you into anything, but… You’ve certainly learned he won’t take no for an answer. Even though you try to be as friendly and accommodating as possible, sometimes you just don’t have the solution crew members are looking for. No matter how many appeals they file.
You get the feeling Getaway thinks he can charm his way into anything if he tries hard enough. Maybe he thinks other mechs’ minds are just a lock that needs particular picking. Maybe he’s just not used to being told no. Either way, you don’t know how you gave him the impression you would want to sleep with him, but when he offers to bend you over your own desk for a hard frag…
It’s hard to say no when you’re forced to watch the most handsome mechs you’ve ever seen walk around the ship like their frames aren’t optic candy. So many handsome mechs and you’re so sure that your (unofficial) position as Magnus’ assistant makes all of them off limits. One bad decision in your tenure can’t be firing worthy.
Getaway’s thrusts shudder and jolt the precious silly novelty items on your desk, scattering your neat stack of datapads. If you had taken a moment to think through your decision, you would’ve put all your items away into your desk. That stupid Rodimus-shaped rubber duck (a present from the mech himself) topples to the floor with a mournful quack. You catch the barely stifled chuckle from Getaway, but you don’t think it’s very funny. You like that duck.
Offlining your optics, you focus on his spike inside you. It’s an agonizingly perfect fit, fucking into that soft spot inside your valve that’s somehow so difficult to find with digits alone. You meant to buy a false spike ages ago, but it slips your processor every time. It doesn’t help that your habsuite is smack dab in the middle of the hotspot for battles whenever there’s rogue Decepticons, or sparkeaters, or evil sentient plants that come out of a rift in reality that Brainstorm created. Using Getaway’s spike would be a much nicer, cheaper replacement for relief. Assuming he doesn’t make you buy him a drink first. Swerve’s prices haven’t gotten any cheaper.
Even though he’s clearly just as cocky about how he fucks as he is at his most renowned skill, Getaway certainly has a reason to be. Two of his slender digits press firm circles into your anterior node, completely neglecting your dripping spike, as he fills your valve. You’re entirely focused on humping his circling digits, the added pressure of having him inside you just pushes you closer to overload. His thrusts deep and rapid. It’s difficult to voice it, in fact you would rather die than say it, but you want him to keep fucking you through your overload. Into however many subsequent overloads he would deign to give you, toppling through them like dominos. The bite of your own desk against your hip plates, your servos clutching desperately at the edges, knowing a mech could walk in and see you, it’s a euphoria you want to clutch onto. You want Getaway to wear you down with the pleasure, use your valve until his transfluid drips down your thigh plating.
Clerical work is so thankless, all you want is one good night cycle to get you through it.

Favorite headcanon for every ghoul! Go!
Oo!!!
Aether
Chronic migrane haver.
Loves the taste of strawberry but fucking hates the texture of them.
Developed a sense of paranoia after the old Papas deaths.
Mountain
Puppy mountain. Oh my GOD puppy mountain. Just a little (large) guy.
Terrible posture, even worse back pain because of it.
Growing plants off based off his vibes... I love the idea of him growing moss when he gets some real good sleep.
Dewdrop
Need I even say kitty dew? Because kitty dew.
So in love with Rain. Like, it's honestly concerning the way in which they're into each other. Everyone knows not to say anything about it.
All bark, no bite. Was a lot more dangerous in his water days, but he is a fire that is hard to maintain now.
Has congenital insensitivity to pain (CIPA)
Swiss
Tactical as all hell, needs to touch and be touched.
ADHD to the extreme. Put this ghoul on some Adderall.
Such a softie.
Multi ghoul that leans real heavily into quintessence and fire.
Rain (he gets multiple because he's my favorite)
Trans masc but gender is an option and he checked most of the boxes. It is a game and he is winning.
Sleepwalker, mild insomniac.
A little too obsessed with Dew. If it were any other couple, this would be a toxic relationship, but it's cool. They're happy and so in love with each other. (I could honestly go on about these two in particular for an hour).
Siren boy. Siren boy oh goodness.
Throws knives with alarming accuracy.
Way more dangerous than you think he'd be. Volatile at times.
Phantom
Asthmatic.
Is so painfully weak to having his hair touched, it's an instant off switch if you want the bug to be a purring dopey mess.
Terrified of failure, playing cocky and cool to cover it up.
Lil bug being able to turn into a sentient shadow.
Sunshine
Hasn't had to sleep alone since she was summoned, physically can't sleep alone anymore. Her body gets too stressed out.
Fallen angel sunny, something I'll elaborate on someday.
Multi ghoul, more practiced in earth and air. Surprisingly good with fire but a little too volatile to be trusted.
Local horror movie enthusiast.
Cirrus
Lowkey pack leader, they all know it. Aether just gets to pretend to be.
Looks up to Zephyr so much, they were the only person aside from Cumulus she said a word to for months after her summoning.
Probably one of the more dangerous ghouls, one hell of a hunter.
Cumulus
Summoned with Cirrus as a bonded pair.
Plays the church organ during mass.
Perfect sense of direction.
Most elementally reactive.
Aurora
Literally has every other ghoul wrapped around her finger. Princess coded. Girly pop barbie moments.
Absolutely covered in tattoos, like, her clothes cover most everything but she is completely inked up under it all.
Multi ghoul, very water inclined. They haven't figured out what her second strongest elemental tie is.

Time for random plot ideas - Exorcist AU
Don't you know trees are portals?
Jinx is an exorcist, a highly gifted one. She gets called in to deal with the most extreme cases or the most obscure.
Arguably, she is too gifted, considering the toll her power takes on her mental state. Along with the amnesia for anything before she was eleven, and only the knowledge that she had a sister, her life is no walk in the park. But she gets the job done, no matter how stubborn the spirit involved is. However, due to her volatile nature and something or someone always being blown up, she only gets called in as a last resort.
With her long braids filled with a multitude of enchanted and charmed beads and her an imposing looking gun (to blast a spirit, ghost or demon to beyond the veil) aka Fishbones who she talks to but no one can hear, (Fishbones is actually sentient here, he's an old spirit who ows her a debt, for what he won't say.) She makes a rather frightening impression.
The current job: A construction company wants to build on the location of a very old tree, only there seems to be one tiny tiny problem. Every time someone tries to fell the tree, accidents happen, machinery breaks or goes haywire and damages everything, BUT the tree, workers fall asleep and wake from the most terrifying nightmares The conclusion, a spirit must be sabotaging the work. Could she please swiftly deal with it.
Ekko is the tree spirit, and he's pissed to say the least. (I see him here with his green eyes) No way are they chopping down his home. That happens to also be the home of all sorts of other wandering spirits.
So he causes one accident after another. Corporate ain't getting a foothold in his/this piece of nature/link to the spirit realm.
Imagine his surprise when the thick headed absolutely in denial fat boss shows up with an exorcist. A pretty one at that, strangely memory evoking and feeling just a little bit like a spirit herself exorcist to deal with him.
In the ensuing fight, Ekko drags her to the other side of the veil - a realm filled with creatures of all lore in an attempt to beat her and convince her that he is in the right. The tree already large in the ‘human’ world is absolutely massive on this side of the veil.
As she becomes aware of where she is, a tantalising feeling of home sinks into her and a sliver of a clue as to what happened to her missing memories, and sister creeps into her mind.
Realising this Jinx makes a deal with the spirit “You help me find what I'm feeling and get me out, and I'll leave you and your tree alone. Mister moneypants can sort it himself if he's that desperate. Besides, the tree is much nicer looking than that concrete block he wants to build.”
They set out. As they spend time together, Jinx comes to the conclusion that maybe everything she knows and does should be reconsidered. And as she learns more about the denizens of the other realm, as Fishbones begins to reveal bits of a tragic tale, as she grows closer to Ekko who understands her better than any human ever did (who,as far as she's concerned, is also the most beautiful man she's ever met.) She wonders more and more just how she herself came to be.

I'm kind confused how Siegblut's "use" went, as in I find it kinda hard to imagine. In your headcanons, was it something like "he'd reject soliders verbally, but not fight it physically" or like "he'd reject them verbally at first but letting them have what they want after being pestered" or "he'd start out willingly having sex with nice soliders bc he craves love, but it kinda came out and now he has a reputation of being a slut" something entirely diffrent?? Idk it's just hella interesting to me tbh and I wanna know how you see it
Ooooh, excellent question!! OvO
So, the first big thing to consider here, is that Siegblut didn't start out anywhere near as defensive and angry as he is by now. Even within the bounds of more or less direct canon, initially summoned gunboys are more... emotionally squishy, I guess?? Marks, for example. Rather than having an entire lifetime behind them to figure out how the world works, they're manifesting as a very fresh, ignorant human person, fully formed out of thin air. Before they've had enough time to figure out that the world wants to hurt them and people can be cruel, their personalities are largely made up of love for Master and an intense, instinctive desire to be useful and owned. Again, Marks.
With that context in mind, you can imagine a point where, much earlier in Sieg's existence as a sentient being, he hadn't been so guarded, and had wanted more than anything to be the best weapon possible for a Master he probably expected to stay with forever.
It might not have been his first Master who started it (if anything, he'd have been even more emotionally vulnerable after one or two had died because of him), but I'd imagine one of the early ones started to get a little too touchy, or maybe just handed off permission to a soldier who tried it instead, at a point where Sieg was still so caught up in that instinctive need to please that he wouldn't have fought it. Where even if he hated what was happening, he still had enough of a hope of success that he thought he was being "good".
But of course, nothing was ever good enough. He was deemed a failure over and over again, burned through more and more Masters with no ability to change that, and his own increasing emotional volatility only made him a greater target for punishment. At some point, perhaps a Master with a grudge toward the weapon using their life span as fuel realized that it was a great way to make him suffer.

me: I should, perhaps, stick to what is explored in the canon when making ocs
me: These are my Inheritance Cycle ocs. One is a teenage noble who had to run away after volatile dragon magic fused an Eldunarí to her body. The other is an elven rider whose dragon’s body died so she sang a ship around his Eldunarí and now she’s a pirate with a sentient galleon. I refer to both as indlvarn

ultrakill headcanons
The way the feedbacker parrying works is kinda like a spring or a trampoline. It receives kinetic energy, and bounces back with even more force. The reason why parried projectiles explode is because the hell energy orb gets cracked from being punched (the arm's still metal mind you), making it unstable and volatile.
Since willpower and how you're remembered after you die is what decides how your husk will look, filths are probably nobodies that people forgot about, strays had more impact on the world but are weak-willed, stalkers had a strong will but left little to no mark on the world, and insurrectionists are probably billionaires that hoard their wealth thats why thehy so beeg and are in greed layer. the other husks we already kinda know how they work
V1 blasts the game's soundtrack in the areas where it plays. imagine just being suffering in hell, like usual, and suddenly you're hearing altars of apostasy blast at full volume rapidly getting louder and louder as this robot guy rides a rocket towards you
V1 isn't just soulless in his slaughter, he's downright malicious and toys with his prey. when V1 beat V2 for the first time, he could've easily stomped V2 out while he was on the ground recovering after the final hit (see V2's defeat animation in the first fight), but V1 let him go so he could have a little fun and fight him later. The same goes for Gabriel in both of his fights when he was down doing his little defeat monologue. Corpse of King Minos and Leviathan weren't spared because they're animalistic and not sentient. They'd be no fun to spare and fight again to watch them suffer (also V1 had to kill them off completely to go to next layer). V1 doesn't just kill you, he enjoys killing you.
hell is human shaped. each layer is a part of hell's body and you're going down its body. limbo is up in the brain somewhere (get it cause it's up in the clouds), lust is in the vocal chords because you use those to speak filthy horny words, gluttony is in the stomach (obviously) and the big heart you see in 3-2 at gabe's arena is hell's big heart. not minos's. fuck minos i hate that guy. then greed is in the fucking, uh, gallbladder or some shit. wrath is in the regular bladder (not gall) and also 5-1 is in a kidney i think. that why its in a cave. hell got kindey stones problem. heresy is in the intestines (the reason why there is so much red is because hell had spicy mexican food yesterday he got diahrreah). violence is in the balls that's why there's white everywhere. fraud is in the knees cause scammers deserve to have their kneecaps broken, and trachery is in the feet because.
somewhere, out there, exists a filth with arms called Jerry. angels found him to be a funny guy so they let him sit in his lawn chair in a patio made for him see image below

At their core, ghosts are amalgamations of energy. Quite literally, in fact. Ghost cores are coalesced energy that’s taken on an elemental flavor. They’re created in places with high concentrations of ectoplasm, which eventually collects and pulls itself into core. That, in turn, attracts more ectoplasm, which is what creates a sentient ghost. Human souls, being made of energy, are naturally attracted to the energy rich ghost zone once they’re freed from living bodies, and spawn cores after being drenched in ectoplasm.
The vast majority of the time, cores are single element, from the following ten: water, ice, plant, earth, fire, magma, electric, air, light, and void. However, dual element cores do also exist. They very rarely occur naturally, and are more often than not the result of ghost fusion, which is the result more powerful ghost absorbing the energy of a less powerful one. This is widely regarded as taboo, as it’s the only way to really “kill” a ghost. Most of the time “killing” a ghost just disperses their energy, but it will recollect over time and they will respawn. Absorption stops that, because the energy is being functionally held hostage by the more powerful personality/conciseness.
Some hybrid cores are stable, such as plant/earth cores, or electric/light cores. Cores they aren’t holding two opposed elements in one. Cores that are holding opposed elements, Like, say, an ice-fire core, are incredibly volatile. Their powers can be difficult to control, they can cause health issues, and typically need ectoplasm to be constantly expended in order to keep them under control.
As a ghost grows and matures, so too does their core. This results in a general power boost and sometimes entirely new abilities. There are rare occasions where the power of a core outpaces what the body can handle though, and the result is all kinds of power outbursts and unpleasant side effects until the body catches up.
So, in a purely hypothetical scenario, what would happen if you took a mature, yet volatile hybrid core, and suddenly placed it into a body that isn’t used to even having a core at all?
Well…
Tumblr media
It isn’t always pretty.
