So I've got some thoughts about DKR and TT if you'll indulge me for a moment, Purbs. Not plot stuff but like, Meta thoughts.

I've always found it a little odd about myself why while the time travel Au is highkey one of my favorite lmk AUs in the Fandom, and I absolutely ADORE TTRed, I could never really get into DKR other than as the villain of TTRed's story. But i've been in a lord of the rings mood lately and I think i figured it out

so everyone knows that speech Samwise Gamgee gives in Two Towers, yeah? the importance of still keeping hope alive even in the most dire of circumstances because a new day WILL come eventually. the folk in those stories had plenty of chances of turning back but they didn't because they believed that there was enough good in this world to be worth fighting for, and all that.

And keeping hope for the sun to rise even when lost in the darkest of nights is kind of TTRed's whole thing.

Whereas there's very little HOPE in the DKR universe without TTRed there swearing to change the course of fate, which is kind of the point, yes, but the fact that the only permanent solution that's not a full stop bad-end is DKR dying since nothing else will stop him for good as the Calabash storyline proves. and the only way for that to be narratively satisfying is for MK to be the one to kill him, putting more pain and trauma on someone who's already suffered far too much at DKR's hands. leaving that finale while on some level cathartic for the end of a nightmare, still a phyrric victory at best.

i'm not sure if i have a point to all of this so i'm just gonna go reread Test of Time and cry about that one terry pratchett quote and think about the poor traumatized muffin (and btw thats the cutest pet name for TTRed poor dear) "Let there be goblin hordes, let there be terrible environmental threats, let there be giant mutated slugs if you really must, but let there also be hope. It may be a grim, thin hope, an Arthurian sword at sunset, but let us know that we do not live in vain"

Oh my gosh Anon, yes, thank you for this, you absolutely hit the nail on the head here with this analysis!

Demon King Red is about a person losing himself into madness because he doesn't understand what it means to love, and when he's forced to choose between two things he loves he tries to force them both together and it ends up destroying all of them. It's a story of devastation and ruin and nobody comes out of it better than they went in. Meanwhile, Time Travel Red Son's story is about seeing that horror and the cruelty and selfishness and deciding that he will not let it be his own fate, and in doing so he learns what love truly is. It's not something you have or take, it's something you give and receive, and it cannot be forced. And while he doesn't exactly get out of it unscathed either, he's still always working to be a better person and that intent is the most important thing about him and his story.

TT Red is definitely the hope of morning to DKR's black, somber night. So it's completely understandable that you weren't so interested in DKR's story without TT Red there to give it that spark of hope. I definitely agree that a story with only a bleak outcome possible isn't quite as interesting. It's fun to make characters evil and have them suffer, but when it comes to having a full narrative, the lack of hope certainly makes it less appealing. Which is why the traumatized muffin's story is the one I chose to tell in full via a fleshed out fanfic (and yes I agree, that's the best nickname for him lol) and not to spoil anything for that fic, but you're definitely right about the only good ending is going to end up in more trauma for MK (and you're even more right that the story demands it to be MK who kills DKR ultimately) And that ending is only possible because of TT Red's presence.

Also I'm super mega flattered that Samwise Gamgee, the goodest boy of all, reminded you in any way of my story and my traumatized muffin. And that Terry Pratchett quote, it’s one of my favorite quotes by my favorite author to boot! You're gonna make me blush bringing these amazing things up in reference to my silly lego AU lol 🥰

#ask #blog #demon king red #time travel #Anonymous #thanks for this ask anon it's super nice~#also not that it matters but I also love being called Purbs lol #I gotta update that fanfic #I am a few thousand words in to the next chapter and still have barely scratched the surface of what I need to have happen in it #that is my curse i guess lol

WELL.

evil weegee.

idea where luigi becomes evil one way or another (i’m into the idea of it being a wish-turned-curse-situation) and mario and bowser have to team up to figure out wtf happened and to stop luigi from causing mass destruction.

bowuigi bonus: relationship is pre-established meaning luigi is ruling koopa kingdom alongside bowser. perhaps luigi is self-conscious and feels like he isn’t seen as a leader, leading luigi to make a well-intentioned wish to be taken more seriously. the wish is warped and turns into a curse, turning him into a wicked ruler that takes over koopa kingdom, and his subordinates follow him out of fear rather than respect, when deep down respect is really all he wanted. it starts internally by luigi kinda turning against bowser (confusing the hell out of the poor guy) and just gets worse from there. bowser’s dismayed because both his husband and his kingdom have been yoinked away from him, so he begrudgingly has to team up with mario and peach and whoever else to get everything back.🤠

i kinda wanna write a whole fic now but i honestly am not as well-versed in mario lore as i used to be and haven’t played any of the games in years 😭😭 but ngl drawing evil luigi was fun. low key been in love with luigi since i was 8 years old so it was quite cathartic for me

EDIT: guys i know Mr L exists 😩 i knew of him when i drew this but not exactly who he was/what he did. but i still wanna try to make my own thing here/try to differentiate them LOL. there can be multiple flavors of evil right

flats under the cut because i’m not entirely happy with how the lighting turned out 😩

Scus the //blood I was having feeling and decided the best solution was to dump Sesame in blood

And also Hauchie sweeping him off his feet because oh no

(And Sesame charm for myself hehe, maybe)

#ff #ffxiv #Sesame #Sidurgu #tiny rielle you can’t really see #I love him too btw he’s so funny #I just gotta learn how to draw his hair… also his armor is really cool #enjoying the black and the spikes #haurchefant #I’ve cursed Sesame by making Hauchie his first romance sorry my boy 🫡#you know now I think about it more it’s kinda fucked #so (lore time LMAOO) idk I guess Sesame more fell for him once the whole being hidden at Ishgard thing happens #and like throughout the little time they spent there it was all cute and whatever #and then he DIES #and Sesame is like #…? why.#ahem… anyways more thoughts on this AFTER I finish Heavensward LOL #ok I’m done rambling

a very self indulgent twipri au i made... vampire!zelda x vampire hunter!link..

in which a rancher from ordon is suddenly afflicted with lycanthropy, and hunts down the cursed hylian queen who is absolutely, DEFINITELY responsible for it...

(spoilers: he's Mega Wrong)

a bit more info about the au below the cut!

"Link, go assassinate the Hylian queen so we can go back to living normally." instructions unclear i have fallen in love with her

midna is somewhere probably maybe once i figure out what to do with her .

#tloz #zelda #loz #link loz #zelda loz #my nyart #so .#my first au huh #poor zelda isnt evil btw . much like in twipri shes kind of Stuck in a very very cursed kingdom with not much she can do #she was probably very confused when meeting the ~hero of legend~ and he says hes here to kill her #she was like WE ARE SUPPOSED 2 BE BESTIES!! AND ALSO SOULMATES. why are u calling me ebil :(#especially because she feels horrifically guilty about not only the state of her kingdom #but also like. shes a vampire. She Eats People #so for link to call her a monster... she kind of agrees i guess #but no she had nothing to do with links curse lol.#he just assumed she did... and she politely told him otherwise #he does not believe her #and of course #when he DOES fall in love with her #he assumes hes being enthralled or something and is like YOU CANT FOOL ME !!!! YOURE INTENTIONALLY POISONING MY MIND......#he just outs himself like a giant doof lolololol #anyway #also. ik. the elephant in the room.#i have no idea how midna plays into this... she'll find her time... maybe

Tumblr keeps telling me I should make more posts before it allows me to follow more people which it's bs, I just want to follow the nice Young Royals fans 😩

I was going to say I'm obviously not a bot... but my friends would probably disagree with me after I spent the weekend not talking about my actual trip but just showing them Simon/Wilhelm edits from tiktok and showing them Omar Rudberg's instagram photos while constantly saying "are you guys seeing how gorgeous this dude is?" "He's too beautiful I have no words" "how the fuck is someone cute and hot at the same time" "let me play this song for you because he's not just GORGEOUS he ALSO HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE" and being annoying AF.

But it worked!! We watched the show together and I think they understood my sudden obsession lmao

I'm now gonna add a gif because I can!! And because I'm a real life person, but I guess a robot would say that too.

How was I supposed to not get obsessed? I'm in love with their love and with Omar Rudberg's smile wtf

#about me I guess lol #still not convinced Omar Rudberg wasn't msde by AI #like holyshit it's this man beautiful #still learning how to tag my stuff #uh i also curse a lot #feels like that its unrelated lol

the darkest of nights, in truth, still dazzles.

a halsin fanmix [listen]

#BG3 Musing #BG3 Fanmix #Halsin BG3 #Halsin #Halsin Posting #my fanmix #i give up this is about as done as it will ever be - i've been talking about this enough i need to get it away from me #i could have made at least one or two other playlists with the number of songs i cut from this #there were some things that hurt me to cut but i figured others had them in their playlists so they're out there #(the impossible dream you will always be famous i am so sorry :(()#i had three goals with this 1. make it more of a timeline in that it follows a narrative order (which hopefully is easy enough to follow)#(it makes sense to me about as much as it is ever going to lol)#2. try to avoid using songs that other individuals have used in their playlists (with a handful of exceptions - i highly encourage you also #take a listen to the others around! lots of good stuff and i figured if you were missing it from this one you can find another with it)#(and if i did use one the context might be different #'closer here is being used in a different way than i usually see it - it's putting more emphasis on the 'you can have my isolation' bit use #in context of the matron and patron for example)#and 3. focus as much as possible on non-romance path elements of halsin's character - i.e. again that's a topic that is highly explored #in other fanmixes to great success - this one is about the childhood he references and the adventures and the capture in the underdark #and the shadow curse and the burying of people he loved and the uptaking of the archdruid position and the healing he did #and possibly did not do #and the radicalization he comes into when his goals are met and he's faced with injustices #and the struggle he has of redefining himself and figuring out who he is after all of it #hopefully the 'eras' are clearly defined but hey it's all gravy from here #honestly if there is one song to listen to that encapsulates halsin for me it's tapestry - highly recommend that #anyway i am blabbing - let the lyrics and such talk for themselves jemi please #but if fanmixes aren't your speed have a kinda nice edit i guess #edit: now with bonus song i just had to add after shamefully forgetting it

I really like your nejisasuneji fanart!I think the similarity between Neji and Sasuke in Naruto is worth exploring. Both of them come from the pupil aristocracy, and their strength is about the same (the early Byakugan and Sharingan are both very strong), and both of them are rebels. Regardless of whether it was fate or the system, both people failed in the end. Neji still failed to escape fate and became a scapegoat. Sasuke finally compromised to the old system and ran around in order to maintain the status quo. It is very appropriate to use one sentence to evaluate the two people: "Those who try to control their destiny end up being controlled by destiny."It will be interesting for the sasuneji two to help each other: Sasuke helps Neji reform the Hyuga clan and break the curse seal of the caged bird. At the same time, the reform of the Hyuga clan becomes the beginning of the reform of the old system of the ninja world. Neji, who is no longer controlled by the caged bird, becomes Sasuke's right-hand man.

yesssss this is what drew me to them! i find it very interesting they are both clan prodigies with Baggage and both come from prestigious clans no less. remember when the sharingan and byakugan were compared to each other and it meant anything ever that was FUN.

i particularly enjoy the idea of contrasting them because If I Wrote Naruto (said every naruto fan ever) this conflict of like. sasuke goes on to be the one who could Not bear to stay in konoha and then later turns against it, vs neji who stayed in konoha after being promised that things would change (and they didn't. funny that) would be something to be explored! especially after Both having been seen as Shitty, Angry Prodigies. but neji "calmed down" after being made promises that weren't kept and sasuke didn't let himself even consider falling for stuff like that (until the ending of naruto lmfao)

i'm a big fan of characters who contrast like that lol and i think the whole sharingan vs byakugan thing is a very fun backdrop to that. like dreams/illusions vs reality/truth? come on now.

people joke about it a lot i've seen, but literally if neji as a character were allowed to 1. exist in a meaningful way at all in shippuden lmfao 2. interact with sasuke, i do think it'd be an easy path for interesting interactions, because like. having to defend the village who's literally never helped you, against the guy who was also Never given any assistance or support growing up, AFTER the village made you countless promises that your life would get better when it literally did not? lol. lmao even

them teaming up is sincerely on the like top 5 best things that would happen If Naruto Made Any Sense to me to be honest i do think about it a lot.

#dojutsu drama WHEN.#anyone here like pokemon black and white. its like in pokemon black and white. truth vs ideals coming into conflict then reconciliation #adn whatnot.#the hyuga storyline actually makes me so angry because it's full of potential and yet.#like making a character like neji and NOT having his arc end with him being free of the curse mark WHILE STILL ALIVE is like. INSANE #instead him dying to achieve agency just like his dad is a GOOD THING? OKAY. I GUESS.#and hiashi going on to be painted as a Redeemed Guy when the kind of power he can wield against the other clan members is like.Unforgivable #like even having that ability even if you do not use it is Evil it's an implicit threat lol #ive made up a better version in my mind (said every naruto fan ever) so now i adore them but his canon rs with hinata also made me So mad.#also ik its just for convenience but its amusing to me to call it 'nejisasuneji' bc that shortens to nsn and like #i Cannot compete against the sns brand first of all i will die. second of all they will kill me i am but one man with a dream.#not art #enjoy hte sasuneji infodump that rotates in my brain 24/7

No honestly the more you think about Genshin's 4.2 update the sillier and more unintentionally funny it gets.

4.2 spoilers:

Are you telling me that Arlecchino clocked, within one minute of meeting her, that Furina did not have a gnosis, was probably not an archon, and was a (physically) weak, cursed girl.

Meanwhile, the hydro dragon sovereign who worked with her for 500 years couldn't figure out that Furina had not an ounce of hydro power in her body?

Furina really said "I am the archon."

And Neuvillette said:

#genshin impact #genshin impact spoilers #furina #arlecchino #neuvillette #okay listen #I'm mostly joking #one would at least guess that he knew the gnosis was in the oratrice #but gods without their gnoses still have control of their element #did he really buy the whole “I have no power because I put it all in the oratrice”???#is Neuvillette actually this easy to trick #IIRC he even says during the quest that he just thought the curse was what archons felt like lol #bruh is READY to throw hands with archons but probably cannot pick them out of a line up #I'm joking #please don't kill me Neuvillette stans #he's my main too #but sometimes he does deserve to get clowned on
