To be honest I think a lot of the horror of Elias comes from just how unlikely it is for someone to notice he’s missing

#He doesn’t have anyone close to him and the few people who do know him are only exposed to the casual smiling mask he puts #One that Elias could easily mimic or hell might even be close to the way Elias normally acts given that he has a similar propensity for #masking. Plus ogElias was never stupid. In fact he was known to be very smart. he just didn’t try to reach his full potential. also he didnt #even get high THAT often. he tried to be respectable and put some effort into preparing for an interview with James Wright #In fact the way he yearns for respect. the way he says he’s afraid of spiders. the way he is marked by the eye. hell even the implied #neglectful parent makes me read him as a parallel to Jon. #Which as we know acts pretty similarly to Elias #all things considered #Also Elias was ambitious. Sure he didn’t have the motivation to grab life by the horns as it were but he always thought he was meant for #something better. bigger. and that’s also part of what made his body snatching feel so cruel. #and o feel like a lot of these little tragic details are often ignored by the fandom #Elias Bouchard #original Elias Bouchard #TMA #the Magnus archives

I remember seeing a fanart on Twitter of Mahiru and Shidou jumping Kazui after they found out his crime. Can you do a fic of them beating his ass after finding out his crime

RIP Kazui sdfasdf -- thank you for the request pal!! (I assume you mean the cheating theory and not homophobic 06 09 LMAO) Mikoto is always down to stir things up, though it took a while to picture what Mahiru would be driven to. In the name of love I think she'd become a force to be reckoned with 👏👏👏 I hope you enjoy >:3

Some occupants of Milgram are excellent at lying. They hide a great many things, and pull a great many poker faces. Other occupants are the very worst at it. They wear their heart on their sleeve, for better or worse. Kazui was one of the excellent ones. Mahiru was not. 

When Muu asked if he understood any of the celebrity news they were discussing at dinner, he convinced her that he knew everyone they’d mentioned with a grin. When Mahiru told Fuuta his hair looked “perfectly stylish” after he tried cutting it himself, she got a much rougher reception as he saw right through her.

When Es declared Kazui forgiven “despite his infidelity,” he had maintained the perfect expression to hide the fact that they were a bit off. When Mahiru waved her fingers and told Kazui nothing was wrong, he could plainly see there was bitterness underneath her words. 

He couldn't fathom what he'd done to upset her – they'd had pleasant conversations during meals, and played games in the common area. The pair never spoke about it, though; there was no need to make her any more angry. Kazui had nearly forgotten about it by the time Es disappeared. 

Mikoto proved a slightly better liar, but Kazui caught some odd expressions from him as well. They were smoking in silence together when there was a knock at the door. He answered with his cigarette still resting between his teeth. He was surprised to find Mahiru glaring up at him.

She drew herself up, appearing taller and more intimidating than usual. There was a fire in her eyes he hadn’t experienced before. “In the name of true love –!” she cried. She squeezed her eyes shut and wound her arm back. Kazui looked at her quizzically. It wasn’t as if she was going to slap anyone. 

She slapped him. Hard.

The force knocked the cigarette from his lips and sent him coughing on the smoke. Suddenly Mikoto was behind him, holding his arms in place. 

“Woo! He’s all yours, Mappi!”

Seeing the sudden turn of events, Shidou leapt in to help. He tried to wrench Kazui away by his right arm, but Mikoto held fast to his left. He didn't particularly enjoy being the subject of their tug-of-rope. His legs stumbled between them, falling a bit to one knee. He was left sputtering for breath, pinned between them and facing a fierce Mahiru. He didn't know when she and Mikoto planned all this, and his mind was spinning too fast to think too hard on it.

Kazui looked frantically to her, but her rage was rapidly dulling. She slowly returned to looking exactly 154 cm short. Her mouth twisted into a wobbly frown. “W-what do I do?”

“Eh? You said you wanted to teach him a lesson! Let's go, throw some punches! A few kicks!” 

She covered his face with her hands. “I've never hit anyone before!”

“But, you just did?” Mikoto adjusted his hold. 

“Not like that!”

Shidou bristled. “Why is she hitting anyone?”

Reminded of her reasons, Mahiru uncovered her face. “Kazui Mukuhara – this is what you get! This is what you get for being a dirty, rotten, cheater!” She tried again, bringing her arm back. The movement seemed to pain her more than anything.

He was met with another stinging slap, despite Shidou’s protests. Kazui gasped for air, finally catching his breath now that the smoke had cleared from his lungs. His hair had fallen in front of his eyes.

“We know what you did,” Mahiru said. “Oh, we know everything.”

Mikoto made a sound of agreement from behind. “It’s pretty fucked up, comforting Shidou about loosing his wife like that, while you’re a cheater yourself.”

Kazui opened his mouth, but Mahiru interrupted.

“I don’t want to hear any excuses! Es may have forgiven you, but in the name of true love, I’m going to punish you all the same!”

Although Mikoto was stronger than Kazui had given him credit for, he didn't have the muscle to completely hold him. Kazui pulled himself from the grip, grabbing Mahiru’s wrist as she swung for him again. Shidou took a step back, as the situation fell under control.

Kazui smiled gently. “You don’t need to punish anybody. Es didn’t get the full story.” He released her.

“Oh yeah?” came her incredulous reply. She lifted her fists as if preparing for a brawl, but she had one of the worst forms he'd ever seen. She bounced on the balls of her feet, brandishing her fists. She looked like she was going to start crying.

“Mahiru, I didn’t cheat on my wife.”

“Oh thank god.” She dropped her fists. 

Mikoto raised an eyebrow, either from the turn of events, or he was annoyed at how effortlessly Kazui had escaped him. “There was no other woman?”

He let out a deep laugh. “Not at all.”

“Oh, I just knew it!” Mahiru leapt forward to hug him. 

“If you knew it, why did you slap me…?”

“I’m sorry! I hope it didn’t hurt! Oh, and I was going to try and hit you again… I’m so sorry!” 

She pulled back from the embrace, looking to him with horror. He continued with his warm expression.

“No, no. I was just surprised. I wasn’t afraid of another hit.”

She turned to Mikoto and Shidou to express her excitement, and Kazui reached up to rub his burning cheek. His eyes flicked to Mahiru with uncertainty. He was, after all, an excellent liar. 

#milgram #kazui mukuhara #mahiru shiina #mikoto kayano #huh - i have another drabble that starts pretty similarly... #LMAO thank you for the request!! this was so fun asdfsdf #its not quite an ass beating - i couldnt swing it for either of them - but Trust Me he didnt get off easy 😂 #those two slaps were with the power of god and anime on her side -- its gonna leave a mark RIP #hell hath no fury like a woman defending a woman she thought was scorned !! #from that day on kazui vows to never make mahiru upset under any circumstance 👍 #and you know i bet shidou and mikoto have the same thought 😂 #also LOL if you have the art still id love to see it 😂 #drabbles

Something that's been on my mind rent free for a while, was that, yes, technically, q!Etoiles has carried the Code Shield for longer than the broken Code Sword/pieces, but it's absolutely perfect that the part of him that's “corrupted” is the one that carries the shield, aka what he uses to protect himself and protect others.

Even if the Shield's code-like nature started making one with his arm, he's still in perfect control of who he is, it's almost like the corruption has become a physical manifestation of who he is as a person and what he stands for.

A protector

#qsmp #qsmp etoiles #similarly to how Ashitaka's arm becomes corrupted by all the hate in the world through his mark in Princess Mononoke #but instead Etoiles' arm becomes a condensation of all that COULD be good #yet again we saw what Code corruption did to Max and Slime #theirs is probably similar to a virus #wearas Etoiles' would be like an algorithm #training and developping to sheer symbiosis #which is interesting considering he's literally a cucumber

[butchdykekondraki]

yknow as someone who grew up in the furry fandom and still interacts with it occasionally its kind of crazy i havent drawn any of my guys as anthros yet

#[ren] #look at my anthro headcanons boy. -> #kondraki would be a moth btw. which is boring considering her motif BUT I HAVE REASONS!!!!!!!!! that i wont say. #and clef is a jackalope btw #gears is a llama btw. not elaborating. #<- similarly iceberg is an alpaca #rights is a rabbit. You Know Why. #AND CIMMERIAN IS A CAT. NO ARGUMENTS ABOUT THIS I KNOW HIM BETTER THAN ANYONE #also glass is a. like. dog. which is boring but hes a fucking therapist i cant Not make a therapy dog joke here cmon now be serious #lament is also a dog but specifically because all frat bros are dogs to me in the sense that he was never trained to not jump on people #the kiryu siblings are also moths. zyns is obvious but i just want mark to match her #shen is a bee btw. yes its because of his plant wife

We have so many Alberich clansmen straightup mentioned in gamefiles, 3/5 have been shown (Clothar, Caribert, and Kaeya as the only playable alberich) while the 2/5 (Antforas and Kaeya's bio father, unsure if 2 diff people yet) are mentioned, and then there's Pierro who might also be an Alberich just based on similarities with Kaeya's design.

that's a lot of notable Alberich clansmen with heavy lore impact right there. What did they feed this clan?

#kaeya #kaeya alberich #alberich clan #the alberich skeletons in the closet saga continues #Antforas prev. Knight Marshal then King Regent btw #We all know of Clothar and Caribert as well #Pierro look a bit too similarly designed with Kaeya #what if antforas and kaeyas dad is actually just 1 person #and of course kaeya the most famous alberich we have in current teyvat #no seriously its suspicious how we have 2 alberichs who led 2 different things #antforas and clothar being brothers question mark? #clothar reference lore would indicate that there should be 1 more brother....and what if the 3rd brother is Kaeyas dad lmao #me at every alberich clan mention: #genuinely thinking antforas clothar and kaeyas dad are the 3 alberich brothers now but hey watch me be so wrong #also whats up with the sudden boom of theories? is that just me seeing them everywhere now? i cant keep up #guess im sticking with the alberich clan for now

Love that I'm slowly convincing all of my markiplier followers to watch ghosts with my silly crossover art

#atlas speaks #to be fair. watching ghosts is always the correct answer #it fucks. #also i feel like it's a good fit for markiplier lore fans cause it is similarly a silly as hell piece of comedy media on the surface #with occasional moments of extreme emotional rawness. insane but subtle horror surrounding death and life after death. #and really good character moments. #also it is often also a narritive about forgiveness #as mark is also keen to include in many of his works #so anyways i guess this is a propaganda post. go watch bbc ghosts. especially if you're one of my markiplier followers #in which case go watch ghosts and then come back and be insane about this crossover with me lol #also if you're not exactly sure where to watch the show may i suggest checking the blog @ patcaps #there may or may not be a useful google drive link for you there in their pinned post :]

Alderheart and Sparkpelt! Plus a bonus Squirrelflight and Dandelionkit.

#designing these two was so fun. pulled designs from their parents and grandparents! #i tried to give alder his grandma's (goldenflower's) fluff but it's hardly noticeable bc his mom is also fluffy lol. oh well! it's there #similarly i gave goldenflower's forehead markings to sparkpelt! #my drawing of goldenflower is probably the one i'm most proud of from my days drawing on the 3ds so i like to come back to it #alderheart #sparkpelt #squirrelflight #not gonna bother tagging dandelion bc she's really not a focus. added her last minute actually sjfhsk #thunderclan #warrior cats #my art

[vacantgodling]

i’m gonna have to draw him on my own at some point (and that’s gonna be rough) but this is prooooobably p close to tagetes

#they do tend to style their hair and wear dresses similarly to hya in some ways #but they’re more fond of color—not gaudily so but color #and they and narci have the same colored eyes #and like all the gunns they have beauty marks #i think tagetes looks the most like their father and they hate it A Lot #s: paramour #s: empire

[jjjjabberwocky]

do you remember how we used to run

#leviathan #art #oc art #digital art #original characters #thylacine #original story #Tully and Bjorn #leviathan is not really a hdm fanfic anymore but the familiars that exist still do function very similarly to daemons #Bjorn settling marked a very traumatic incident for both of them and Tully was initially pretty unhappy with his form #which was a projection of their feelings for themself ofc #Bjorn had used to usually be a big wolf and was typically more active #he dwarfed Tully too he was BIG BUG wolf #so Tully felt really secure and protected by him which changed when he settled #thylacines are much more anxious timid animals #he’s made peace with it though #they love each other very much they are bffs

Playfighting headcanons addendum

A/N: I had meant to add Engineer Mark to the original list but completely forgot and ran out of energy for it. These are a slightly different style than the last ones cuz that's just how they ended up lol. Once again, MINORS DNI

~~~~~

Engineer Mark:

Is reluctant at first, because you're his captain! He could never fight you!

Ignoring of course the whole confrontation at the warp core

He's also secretly afraid this is a trap and you're going to turn this around on him and issue him demerits or worse

After reassuring him a few or twenty times, he agrees

He still throws the fight a couple of times, and you have to huff at him and insist he plays along or else you might actually give him demerits

(you wouldn't actually, but it gets him to listen)

After that, it becomes more interesting

Bit by bit, you find yourself losing ground to him as he starts pushing the boundaries of how much of his strength he's allowed to use

You thought the two of you were pretty evenly matched, with you in the slight upper hand, but it seems your dear engineer has done more manual labor than you expected

Some days, he's more determined than others to be the victor; if it is indeed one of those days, you find your strength waning as the wrestling drags out

Before long, you find yourself with your arms above your head and a knee pressed against your body between your legs

"So, Captain…to the winner go the spoils?"

If you don't push him a lot, it's a fifty-fifty shot as to whether or not you'll win, because as already established, he will let you win, even if you do manage to convince him to not hold back

Night

Appears to have zero interest

"Why should I have to engage in physical aggression?" and oh my outfit will become all disheveled and he can't have that

Such a drama queen

But agree he does, shucking his coat, and you realize partway through that you're a bit more over your head than you realize

Sure, he prefers not to be physically aggressive, but he can more than hold his own if you push him enough

And push him you do; it's so easy to get a rise out of him that you resort to your usual teasing, but now he's decided to make an example of what happens when you push him too far

He…may or may not have other supernatural abilities to give him the upperhand (i.e. tentacles)—when you notice that spiral light up on his face, you somehow know it doesn't bode well for you (in terms of winning)

He is stronger at night than during the day (shocker, I know). As such, you're more likely (and probably will) win against him during the day as opposed to at night

You may have had to teasingly insult him in order to get him to play fight, or suggest that maybe you'd go to another "god" who will take you up on the offer—and with his pride on the line, plus a slight bit of possessiveness at you being his little human, he decided he had to take you up on it

There's a ferocity that comes out in moments like this, usually hidden by his whining and dramatics

(You'd be lying if you said it didn't turn you on)

Your limbs are held down by shadows, tentacles made of pure night sky, and that spiral glows threateningly as he leans in, his grin much sharper than you're used to seeing (figuratively and literally)

"Little mortal…shall you atone for your misgivings?"

Again, your chances are pretty split on winning, depending on the time of day, how far you push him, and his overall mood that day. Maybe put him in his place for once lol

~~~~~~

As a recap: Murdock and Dark are the hardest to win against, followed by Actor and Night on certain days thanks to their supernatural abilities, and the other three I wrote about (Illinois, Damien, and Engineer) are tied as to whether or not you'll win, depending on the circumstances (although based on strength alone it would go Illinois, Engineer, then Damien).

#gender neutral reader #x reader #minors dni #night x reader #engineer x reader #technically this is lemonish but i tagged the last one as lemon so I'm gonna remain consistent #lemon #lemonish #gn reader #or y'know just put both lol #headcanons #didnt mean for the dialogue to be structured similarly but that's just how it ended up being #i can't decide if i want night to be mark's height or taller than reader a more significant amount #engineer mark x reader

Watching everyone reviewing The Final Girl Support Group fucking miss the plot by miles is astounding. It's pretty much this but every few seconds:

#Anyway I liked it #It's a bit...white feminist-y and there are a couple really weird moments of a white person trying to be racially progressive but somehow #completely missing the mark #One of the few media pieces where I completely related to the characters #It's fairly predictable but me seeing things coming from a mile away in horror is kind of a given #It is EXTREMELY dark though I was surprised one of my RA friends recommended it to me without warning about some of it first #But then again I probably wouldn't have listened so lol #I have so much of the book highlighted #This is what sparked the post last night though because the main character is very similarly paranoid/hypervigilant #Though she's really quick to shoot from the hip. But that makes sense given that act fast was necessary for her but #Is a death sentence for anything long-term

obligatory “I love ramza and what he stands for as a character, and absolutely do not demand him to have a flawless five year plan for ivalice because lord knows no one else in this game does” disclaimer, but I’ve always felt like ramza kind of shows his ass here. he’s been cutting down everyone else’s plans for ivalice (and rightfully so because those plans usually suck in at least 15 different ways) but never really formulated a grand plan of his own. and now that he’s being asked for it, he still declines to do so in any great detail. what can be derived from this answer, though, is that ramza likely doesn’t blame the system for all that’s going wrong in ivalice, and thinks the fault is only with a corrupt few. but knowing ramza’s list of acquaintances, those he considers to be “good men” mostly consist of nobles, who we know won’t entirely do right by the peasantry regardless of how good their heart is. the system has to change for the poison to be drawn, and as long as ramza doesn’t see that he will continue to pass by the lower classes altogether.

#love ramza for renouncing his privileges but unfortunately that does not a comrade make. not with these answers at least #ramza’s always got a point to some extent (hey guys. stop being evil and corrupt) but misses the mark a lot when it comes to class still #his conversation with wiegraf back at orbonne struck me similarly #‘you used to be so respectable as the corpse brigade leader’ yeah and um. who pray tell took the corpse brigade away from him. answer quick #final fantasy tactics

something something that quote about “ everything I’ve ever had to let go has claw marks ” about tristan because he acts so unaffected but actually feels deeply and has never gotten over a damn thing in his entire life.

#moving on is for suckers #even when he eventually leaves his profession and his foster father it’s not without some claw marks #just because he acts unaffected doesn’t mean he is. similarly he holds grudges FOREVER.
