#the evil sorceress plans to survive
immortalarizona · 6 months
Text
so today’s session was a little wild.....
in vaguely chronological order, the following events occurred:
the party one-shot SO many goblins in that one random encounter I planned to introduce the artificer with. like they only have 7 hp but DANG
tarokka readings from a kalashtar sorceress, because the module is my bitch and I do what I want
I got to see the bastard man behind the mask for the first time!!! (during the tarokka readings, which were one-on-one, the bard showed a bit of his true self, and it was DELIGHTFUL)
after her own reading, the fighter is now suspicious of EVERYONE EXCEPT THE BARD, WHO THE CARDS WERE WARNING HER OF ABOUT AS EXPLICITLY AS THEY COULD
speaking of misconceptions, the rogue player is now convinced that Jimjar is secretly evil. this is probably not helped by the fact that the sorceress REFUSED to give him a reading because She Recognized What He Was (A FUCKING GOD)
through a series of truly god-tier medicine checks, the artificer took the vial of holy water I forgot I had given Morwenna and, after testing the effects on some goo the party had collected from a spore servant earlier, injected the rest of the vial into Sarith’s carotid artery in the hopes of destroying the fungal infection in his brain
part of Sarith’s brains may or may not have leaked out through his eyeballs during the hellish minutes that followed
Stool may or may not have raised Sarith from the dead as a quasi-spore servant when mouth-to-mouth, CPR, and an impromptu defibrillator in the form of Shocking Grasp failed to restart his heart
Sarith’s heart Still has not started, in fact
(and it never will again)
because my man is now Reborn Lineage: Plant Edition™
and he also remembers Basically Nothing!
(which reminds me, I need to draw his new look)
also we finally made it to Sloobludop and we all broke down laughing as I failed miserably at pronouncing these fucking names with a straight face
everyone is bored with Derendil, including me. he will not survive longer than two sessions, I can guarantee that
tl;dr — madness and mad science :]

Transformers the Last Knight rewrite.
The movie begins the same as the original but this time the Knights of Cybertron arrive and they consist of Pharma, Tyrest and Star Saber as they help King Arthur in the process helping forge an alliance while a saddened and conflicted Quintessa sees this.
Smash cut to years later as Bumblebee (Dylan O’Brien) is now the leader of the Autobots who tries live up to Prime’s legacy while lamenting the loss his comrades during and after Chicago with the help of Mikaela Banes and William Lennox as the three are at the Chicago memorial. Also a throwaway line from Mikaela saying “Sam is taking care of his kid.”
We get a montage of Bee and the Autobots going around the world fighting Decepticons but they don’t seem to respect him at all, the Dinobots led by Grimlock (Jon Bernthal or Greg Berger) in particular coupled with dealing with the backlash of Optimus Prime’s execution of Sentinel with humans semi-trusting them after China but the government doesn’t back them back at all. They get into a fight against Galvatron who Bee and the Autobots injure and he seemingly perished during the fight but he is saved by Decepticons Onslaught and Stinger who he tells of a place that can light their darkest hour…
Meanwhile in an ancient excavation sight somewhere in the Andes Mountains, a team of Archaeologists find dark energon as they are ambushed by Stinger and Onslaught. A dying Galvatron says he isn’t truly a true Cybertronian as he is weakened and has has heard of the myths of dark energon that can make him whole, Stinger stabilizes it and soon Galvatron is stronger and resembles his classic self mixed with Bayverse design and is more powerful than ever as he begins the next phase of his plan as they take the team hostage. We get a montage of Decepticons “surrendering” around the world.
Bumblebee and the rest of the Autobots soon find Star Saber (Hamish Linklater) who is in stasis but with the help of Lennox, revive him. Saber reveals that he was part of the Circle Of Light, an order of legendary knights that protected Cybertron before the Autobots with Grimlock and his Dinobots being one of the initiates before going rogue then disappearing. An angered Grimlock tells Bee that they left cause Saber is a religious fanatic and the order isn’t what it makes itself out to be. Saber suggests to find the other knights as there is a great evil afoot and a sorceress named Quintessa who can stop it.
Galvatron contacts the army and arrives with the hostages who are already dead as he gives the signal to Mindwipe (Elizabeth Olsen). The Decepticons held in the TRF facility break free and regroup with Megatron in a crashed Decepticon ship as he uses the stabilized dark energon to revive his dead soldiers: Soundwave, Shockwave, Starscream, Blackout, Brawl, and the rest of the Constructicons. They are revived but also come out differently sporting classic designs mixed with War For Cybertron and are much more powerful than ever. As a test run, Megatron orders Starscream to kill Sam Witwicky which he he accomplishes by bombing his house and killing him though his kid and Carly survive. Galvatron begins to show signs of madness due to the Dark Energon when he is seen talking to a body of his minion Igor leading to doubts among the newly resurrected Decepticons except for Mindwipe who is revealed to be his wife and Soundwave.
Bee finds the other knights with the help of the Wreckers, Tyrest and Pharma who have seemingly died as Grimlock continues to warn him and we get an emotional scene with Saber burying his comrades. Bee runs into Quintessa as she sent a message into his mind as she was watching them this whole time revealing the great evil is Unicron who is really the Earth itself and she was the daughter of Primus with the Knights as his servants before Primus went to stasis and were sent by the original Thirteen Primes to find Unicron. The Knights discovered Unicron’s location but found out that life grew there and decided that they deserve to live…except for Star Saber, Pharma and Tyrest who rebelled in an effort to destroy Unicron under the orders of Megatronus aka the Fallen. Arthur and his Knights alongside the Knights Of Cybertron were killed in the battle but not before using his sword to put Saber into stasis and now Saber wants to finish the job. Bee goes to confront Star Saber who is seen talking to Mindwipe and making a deal to defect.
Saber betrays the group when Bee reveals everything revealing he’s been in contact with the Decepticons as well. He reveals to Megatron about Unicron planning that was earth has been destroyed, he can have all the Dark Energon he wants and that he can use it to rebuild Cybertron therefore becoming its champion. Mindwipe implores him to take the deal.
With the help of Breakaway, Bee and the Autobots find their location as Saber uses an amulet to control Quintessa who pleads to Bee to kill her. Megatron makes a broadcast to the world about their planet’s origins and televises Quintessa about use her powers to destroy Unicron while watch from their ship. Bee finds out that Sam responsible for Sam’s death and goes berserk. Starscream betrays Megatron and uses his faction of Decepticons to take advantage of the chaos as the rest of the Autobots are cut off from Bumblebee who is left alone with Megatron and Star Saber
Quintessa fights the amulet’s control as she realizes that she was meant to be more than a destroyer but a savior of all life, including humans. She breaks free and saves Bumblebee and turns to her true form with Bee and her fighting Star Saber and Megatron. Saber is seemingly killed by Quintessa while Bee is tempted to kill Megatron but doesn’t not wanting to repeat the mistakes of Prime with Sentinel summing up the theme of the movie and it’s “be better”
Bumblebee has Megatron and his fellow Decepticons in custody in Diego Garcia now watched over by the Autobot Elite Guard while the public’s perception changes. Grimlock and Bee share a conversation about respect and being better with him saying that perhaps he can take Optimus’s place before Bumblebee goes onto oversee new arrivals of Autobots, including Windblade.
Star Saber is revealed to be alive and prays to Primus for what he is about to do and revived Pharma and Tyrest saying they have work to do as they return to Cybertron and plan to have Optimus Prime on their side whether he likes it or not.

⛥MALLEUS MALEFICARUM⛥
Tumblr media
Free-spirited Desmond loved history and the myths of old but after losing his grams,dark forces manifest within him which lead him to learn that he comes from a line of sorceresses and inherited the mystical gifts of his many ancestors.
Though as he uncovers the secrets of his past,blood-curdling horrors converge on the city threatening to consume it forcing him to go on a journey that he never anticipated in hopes of killing the sinster forces,that have haunted his lines for generations but he must come to terms with who he is or become the wicked witch that history painted her as.
(Here are the main ocs for my main book series Millennium Of Hellfire,that takes place in a one universe,where the Vampire Diaries and other series like American Horror Story and Teen Wolf can crossover in one sacred timeline.These OCs are main characters because they are the next generation of characters that were killed in the original two series(The Vampire Diaries and The Originals)and want to make their loved one's killers suffer.
⛥MAIN PROTAGONISTS⛥
Caleb Mclaughlin as Desmond Jameson(The Wicked Witch Of The East)
•Tribrid(Witch/Cambion/Daemon)

•Son Of Baron Samedi and Lilith Ediom
•Tie to the Vampire Diaries=Aja Holmes,she was the leader of the twelve witches that Caroline Forbes killed to save Bonnie Bennett from killing her.She was his mother's younger half-sister.
•Tie to the Originals=Katherine(Katie) and Daruis Malchance,they were siblings in the French Quater Coven that owned the Jardin Gris Voodoo Shop.Katie was murdered by Klaus Mikaelson to futher his plans of dismantling his adopted son's kingdom.Daruis was murdered by Hayley Marshall after he refused her request to locate her daughter,Hope Mikaelson after her father,Klaus Mikaelson sent her away with his sister,Rebekah Mikaelson.They were his father's younger half-siblings.
•Main Mikaelson=Freya Mikaelson.Due to a prophecy spoken by Isabel Logroño,she prophesied that her line would grow stronger and stronger,culminating in the arrival of a single Bruja that would be powerful enough to vanquish many evils,which include her and her family for her sister's death and betrayal in 1701 during the Spainsh Inquisition.Two hundred and ninety-nine years later,her prophecy came to pass,when her descendant Desmond Jameson was born in the New Millennium.But before he was born,Freya had learned of his existence from the Seer,Ivy after she had met Annalise after they consecrated Daruis to the Ancestral Well.
After his birth,Annalise and Elias had taken their son away and for five years,they moved around to evade Freya and her Coven along with the vampires and hybrids,sent by her brothers.But after settling in Upstate New York,they were finally found by Freya's Coven after their cloaking spells were broken and that same night,all of them were killed in a fire,but unbeknownst to the Mikaelson Family,the child survived with the help of his aunts,Marielle and Estelle.To this day,Freya believed she had put to the Logroño Prophecy to rest,but Desmond is out there,ready to burn her at the pyre for her crimes against witchkind and against his family.
Tumblr media
Xolo Maridueña as Marcos Salazar(The Big Bad Wolf)
•Werewolf(Lycan/Blooded One)
•Son Of Isabella Salazar and Carlos Correa
•Tie to the Originals=Carlos Correa(He was the third oldest sons of Benito Correa the First.Like his siblings,he had been living his life as a untriggered Blooded One for decades until they had the chance to take back the New Orleans but in 1997,Carlos met a werewolf of different kind,a Lycan named Isabella Salazar.After their lustful meeting,they soon fell in love and got married in the span of five months.But a year later in 1998,their son Marcos Correa was born.
To make sure that the baby was kept away from their enemies,he was deemed dead at his birth and was made to live at the Guerrera Mansion while his parents mourned him publicly.But in 2000,Marcos had begun to show signs of his Lycan heritage but Isabella didn't want her son to deal with this until he was of age.Before they could find a witch to bind him,a witch and her son had approached the Guerreras.They had told the witch to leave but she told them,that she knows about Marcos and his condition,so they let them in their home.
Carlos watched as Francesca and the witch named Annalise talk about her services,while Isabella watched her son and Marcos interact but Annalise had turned to Carlos and asked them in return that,Marcos would marry her son Desmond,a witch from the Dalliencourt bloodline of witches,when they came of age to create a unified pack/coven.His brothers were mortified at her request but Carlos could see the boy's connection,he knew from his wife,that Lycan have mates unlike his kind and that Marcos had growled at his uncles when they attempted to touch Desmond and he even grew claws to protect him from them.Francesca had told their brothers to stand down and she asked Carlos what he wanted to do with Annalise's request,and he agreed as Isabella smiled at him.With that,the first spells that Annalise performed for them,was binding Marcos's Lycan side and boundaries within their home.But before they left,Annalise had warned Isabella and Carlos that Francesca might be the reason their family will end.They had taken her words in and but Francesca was able to get enchanted moonlight rings and gave them to her brothers.
They each killed their bodyguards and due to this,they activated their werewolf gene and then used their newly-gained werewolf abilities to attack the vampires,including Elijah Mikaelson resulting in the majority of the vampire community of New Orleans dying from werewolf bites,Francesca also handed the still-pregnant Hayley over to the witches in exchange for the moonlight stones, as the witches were intent to sacrifice Hayley and her part-witch daughter on their Ancestors's orders.
After gaining the moonlight stones,Francesca and her brothers,along with their Crescent wolf ally,Oliver,leveraged their new physical power into more political power over the city and gained control over the supernatural factions of the French Quarter.
During the four month time jump,the Guerrera werewolves had been controlling the city.Under their rule,any vampire who entered the French Quarter was to be killed on sight, and the pack had made an alliance with the witches,led by Cassie Harrison(who was possessed by Ástríðr Mikaelson),who had agreed to make the wolves more moonlight rings.Taking advantage of the fact that their own moonlight rings weakened Klaus during every full moon,Francesca and her family/pack decided to seek out the white oak stake and kill the Originals once and for all, not knowing that Klaus and Elijah, with help from Hayley, Marcel, Joe and Josh, had their own plans to strike back once the full moon hit its apex.Francesca sent her lackeys to the Mikaelson compound to subdue Klaus,where Hayley and Elijah killed every werewolf(except for Oliver)who invaded their home.Meanwhile Klaus went to the Guerrera mansion,where he proceeded to kill all of the Guerrera's wolves and Francesca's brothers,which include Carlos.
But as Klaus killed everyone else in the home,he checked the last open room to see nothing but a room for a little boy and with pictures of Carlos and Isabella with pictures of Marcos as a baby before he died.He left as he was reminded of Hope and giving her up to keep her safe.But unknown to him,Isabella and Santiago,Marcos's personal bodyguard stood in the room with her son in her arms.As Santiago pulled a gun at Klaus,Isabella stopped him before he vamped away.Meanwhile Francesca,fearing for her life, fled before Klaus could kill her,only to be attacked and killed by Hayley on the road as she was fleeing town.
A few days later,Santiago and Isabella was able to find Francesca and buried them in their St.Ailbhe Cemetery but before they left,she found a femur bone in Benito's grave with a old note that spoke of the Guerrera's guarding the bone since their family were known as the Navarro Family before the survivors changed their names to the Guerreras to escape Klaus Mikaelson's fury in the 1700s and that bone was one of the keys to a great evil buried in New Orleans called the Hollow.
After the funeral and taking her son to New York City,Isabella married Santiago after falling in love with him and Marcos took his mom's name as he grew up amongst his mother's pack.

Armored x Magic girls ‘title forever work in progress’ stories of the past "the heart of magic"
in the world of magic thousand and thousand of years ago before present day kingdoms there was one that got struck by natural disaster and lost their king. a fisherman saved a baby from the flooded village and the castle was lost in the see as the cliff broke.
nobleman of this realm do to their dislike of each other and disagreements didn't accept a child princess as the next ruler and so no ruler was chosen at all. as another kingdom started conquering them slowly even that was not enough to unite them once again and even the princess who grew up was defeated on the battlefield and hung from the tree by this enemies. the people then started calling one nobleman a king but his reign was short as wizard using magic to scout was deceived and as it was discovered how his vision was tricked he raised the alarm but not because of the enemies threat but because he send out his apprentices to bring a really important artifact and if what he is seeing is fake then both the apprentices and artifact are in danger. it was as he suspected as shadow wolfs attacked the convoy and surviving apprentices were trying to escape. they tried to lay a trap but the plan was ruined and their location reveled by a sorceresses who freaked out believing the shadow wolf discovered her. a knight from the castle saved them and send them on their way except the sorceress, he took her away as others were now hostile towards her but also because he needed her to trace back the stolen artifact. possessed by an evil spirit a different wizard from their castle had it now and they defeated him trapping the spirit in her necklace. as they returned to the castle the enemy besieged it asking for surrender which the king did but as the gates were open the black armored general showed no mercy and ordered attack. the young sorceress managed to escape with the artifact.
many years later in conquered parts of the realm the baby all grown up is saved by that sorceress now a mature women and really powerful in magic. she wants to meet with the rebellion and save same imprisoned people, she would not say it but she mostly wanted to save the knight that once saved her. afterwards she reveals the artifact is a puzzle which hides the location of the heart of magic and they need to find it.
the short lived king's brother is now besieged as the enemy wants to negotiate. he obviously does not trust them as the old man claims the general which killed his brother acted on his own. the offer he proposes is arranged marriage. his son would be married to the daughter of the nobleman who switched sides and joined the other kingdom. remembering the child this man is glad at the opportunity to take her away from her mean father but later it is reveled the enemy were just using the girl kinda like trojan horse. (they will not know it but that wasn't even her but a fake). as the town within the walls is attacked an imposing army shows up and everyone is shocked looking at their banner. "royal banners" (but whose royal army dun dun dun). that army crushes the invaders. and we find out it was the believed to be dead princess. she claims how the news of her defeat were wrong and how she is not interested in ruling only defeating the invaders and freeing the realm. something is definitely off tho as her army has people we saw die in her defeat and she hides her neck that has the mark from the noose.
at the same time as trojan attack xD the party finds the heart and it's reveled the sorceress was only this powerful now because the spirit in the necklace made a deal with her, clamming her safety is his he actually tricked her to gain a window out and waited for the heart to be found. now possessed sorceress and the knight jump into the heart of magic and 4 people emerge. the knight and the unpossessed sorceress, the spirit in physical form and later unknown girl who defeats him using same skills as the sorceress before deception was reveled and the knight. the heart created her after them. at that time too in a 3rd kingdom meditating sages sensed on the waves of magic the heart and realized its location as they discuss they come to conclusion the invading kingdom must have known the heart is in that kingdom and they all agree "the heart must be protected".
and this is not the end that's where me fantasizing about this story stopped xD

blog post #3
Little Red Riding Hood:
The story of little red riding starts with a young girl who was gifted a red hood by her mother, hence the name. They lived near the woods and the mother sent little red riding hood to bring wine and cakes to her grandmother. Her grandmother was very sick, and she only lived an hour away by foot through the forest. Her mother emphasizes that little red riding hood needs to stay on the path because the woods can be a very dangerous place. On her walk there she ran into a wolf. The wolf was very friendly, and the girl told him where she was going. The wolf tricked her into going off the path and he went to the grandmother's cabin before her. He went inside and ate the grandma whole. He then continued to get dressed in her clothes and waited for little red to come and see him. By the time little red riding hood was there she could feel something was wrong. Once she saw the grandma and how different her features are she was scared. The wolf attacked her and ate her whole. Ways away a lumberjack heard the screams and went to see what happened. He found the wolf asleep and cut him open to see if they were still alive. Little ride riding hood and the grandma were still alive and managed to escape and get back at the wolf. Little red riding hood met another wolf a few days later and learned her lesson. Her grandmother and her were able to protect themselves and kill the wolf. This story started off by being told orally and passed down through generations. This was how most tales originated. This version of the story was a part of the grimm’s fairy tales. These brothers took stories and tales directly from common villagers and created a piece of literary artwork. The story has changed over time and there are many different versions. The story I summarized was one of the first versions, but it can be hard to know for sure which one was the most accurate. There are versions where little red riding escapes the worlf on her own without being saved by a lumberjack, and there are also versions where she doesn’t survive.
Rapunzel
The story of Rapunzel starts with a husband and wife who wanted to have a child. They lived in a house and right behind it was a garden owned by a sorceress. The family finally got pregnant, and everything seemed to be working out. One day the mother saw the greens, Rapunzel, in the garden behind them. She could not stop craving the greens and felt like she was going to die without it. she begged her husband to steal some from the sorceress or else she would die. The first time the plan was successful, and the husband gave it to her wife so she felt better for awhile. The second time he went back he was caught. The sorceress was enraged and made him a deal. She said she would allow him to take the rapunzel forever if they gave up their child the wife was going to have. He agreed. She named her new daughter Rapunzel and locked in her in a tower in the woods. Rapunzel had very long hair and the only way anyone could get into the tower was by climbing her hair like a ladder. The sorceress would do this often and would always check up on her. One day the king’s son overheard Rapunzel singing, and he called out for her to let her hair down. He went up there and fell in love with her. He asked her to be his wife and every day he would come and visit her with silk for her to make a ladder so she could come down. The sorceress found out and was infuriated. She cut off Rapunzel’s hair and took her to the woods to suffer. Then she waited for the prince’s arrival. She used Rapunzel’s cut off hair to trick him into climbing into the tower. Once he saw the evil sorceress he felt at a loss and threw himself out of the tower. He survived the fall but landed on thorns that poked his eyes out. He spent the rest of time being depressed until he heard a sweet voice in the woods one day. He was reunited with Rapunzel and the twins that she gave birth to while he was gone. He cried of happiness and his eyesight returned. The story of Rapunzel was also one of the original stories from the Grimms fairy tales. These were oral stories that were passed down from generations that were turned into a piece of literature. This story went from being told orally, to literature, to a movie. The story has changed through each different convention. In the movie the story is not scary and is for children to watch. The movie changed the characters compared to the original version. The husband and wife were the king and queen of a kingdom. The man that found Rapunzel was not a prince but a thief. He did not go blind, and he in the end cut off Rapunzel’s hair. The movie also incorporated more magic than the original and made Rapunzel’s hair have a power. This is a prime example of how stories can be taken and changed to create something else.

SYNOPSIS (PT 1)
Tumblr media
From the earliest memories to when Abriella was 15, she believed that she was simply an elemental with the possibility of a vampiric parent.  She was raised by an elemental sorceress who had seemed to love her till her powers began to develop.  When the woman could no longer control Abriella’s powers, she shunned the young girl and kicked her out of the house.  No longer wanting to be troubled with the girl, she told the vampire lord that Abriella was planning to overthrow him now that her powers had developed.  Based on this, Abriella was hunted from that day forward by the soldiers of the vampire lord.  She learned to live in the shadows and use her powers to survive.
It was while running from such a group that she encountered Dez and Talia who were tracking one of those groups of soldiers.  It was an explosive first meeting and while they recognized what she was, she had no clue what they were or how her life was about to become.  The sorceress had placed magical bindings on Abriella’s powers that had kept her from coming into her true Nephilim powers.  It was then that she first met Raguel and Arioch, as they helped a half-ling and her brother, Cruz, to remove these bindings and bring her out of a coma that having tapped into her powers in a moment of panic had caused.
Abriella’s entire world was rocked when she awoke.  Not only did she discover that she was an entirely different type of being than she had known previously, but she had a brother.  As we now know, Clotho was behind all of this, including the fact that Abriella was predestined originally to be Talon’s Socius, a fighting partner that is akin to family, and was switched during this time to be Dez.  This caused Talon to have a psychotic break that resulted in him and Dez having a fight that left them both bloodied and drove Abriella from the Clave.  After Cruz almost killed both of them for it, the hunt began to bring Abriella back since she had no clue how to be a Nephilim, the Vampires were STILL after her, and now that her true nature was revealed there would be other evil supernatural and preternatural creatures after her as well. It was Cruz who eventually found Abriella, and although she ran from him numerous times, eventually got her to return to Sanctuary (the Clave in Chicago) through showing he wasn’t as intimidating and harsh as he often seems.  She is the only one still to have seen this side of him.  It was from there she learned to be a warrior.  Cruz and Dez trained her in fighting and become a skilled warrior in various weapons as well as hand-to-hand.  Eventually she came into her own with her powers and fighting skills, becoming a powerful warrior that was able to hold her own as well as any of her male counterparts.
It was during this time that she fell in love with a human Scandinavian rock star.  It was through Abriella he learned of the supernatural and had to deal with this knowledge and her true nature.  Due to her love for this human, and his difficulties with her life, Abriella stuck a deal with Raguel and Azrael to strip her of her powers through a form of death and render her fully human.  As she prepared to do this, she discovered multiple deceptions and betrayals by the human that lead her to turn her back on him and retreat into the Clave and shut others out.
Shortly after this, the Nephilim Conclave sent out a notice to the four who would become the Horsemen.  When they arrived at the Conclave, they discovered their destiny.  During a complicated ceremony, they all learned of their true nature.  They are the only four who were born to a full angel and a Demonic Nephilim.  There are still parts of their lineage that are not known to them. (For instance Olly does not know that Arioch is his grandfather, something Arioch doesn’t know yet either)  The only two who know who their Demonic/Fallen relative is are Cruz and Abriella.  They did all have their Patron Saint revealed, as this was part of the ceremony.   Due to mistranslations through the centuries, the Horsemen are not as portrayed in the Bible.  It is not that John got it wrong, it’s that his words have been mistranslated and misconstrued through human intervention to use prophecy for self gain.  The Horsemen are meant to cleanse the world of evil and darkness, to prepare the way for the second heaven.  That’s a lot easier said than done.   When the Horsemen assumed their mantle of destiny, there was only 24 hours that the gates of Hell remained open.  After than they were closed permanently.  Any demon or evil being cast there afterward was no longer able to go topside.  Only those that were on the ethereal plain when they closed can go back and forth, unless willed otherwise by The Divine (Div), The Source (Stennis), The Destroyer (Abbadon), or…the true King and Queen of Hell (NO SPOILERS).  Because this had been prophesied, as soon as word got out that the Horsemen had been called, there was a flood of evil beings on Earth during those 24 hours so there are still many beings that are left to be sent into Hell.    It won’t be an easy or short endeavor to get them there.

when the ‘evil’ princess actually has devoted followers from when she was still evil.
I like that this one at least pretends to treat the character the way a ‘rival’ would be by the NPCs (that is, she’s spoiled rotten, and that’s why she’s an effective villain - all this ‘everyone hates the villainess’ plots ignore the fact that it wouldn’t make her a very good rival then)
now timeskip to an adult so I can ship you with people pls

on Aelwyn Abernant, the Reformed Villain Squad, and redeeming teenage antagonists
an analysis on antagonist character development in Fantasy High. spoilers through sophomore year and (mildly so) the most recent roll20 oneshot. essay under the cut bc i am very long winded
the turnaround with Aelwyn in s2 is handled so well  i cant get over it. she was such a major antagonist in the first season and just. despicable. she had no pathos. we hated this bitchy older sister who tried to kill Adaine and her friends and raise an evil dragon, and when she gets knocked on her ass and thrown in jail, we cheer.
and then s2 fucking starts saying “hey she’s in jail still if you’d like to look into that” and pursuing that thread ends up being almost as comedic an idea as it is a reluctant one; it’s also quickly shunted to the background as soon as more pressing leads present themselves, to the point where we almost forget about her until Adaine is kidnapped and then the first time you see her it’s just. viscerally upsetting.
she’s bad. she did evil. she got what she deserved.
but she already got what she deserved. last season.
she got her ass handed to her by a bunch of 14 year olds including her little sister (how embarrassing!). her plans were thwarted. she got punched in the face and made fun of. she already got her punishment.
it just……immediately registers as over-the-top Wrong to be told “hey, remember that antagonist you beat last season? she’s still being punished for that, except it’s way worse than just going to mumple.”
and there’s that reminder that like…this is a teenager. a child. who has been manipulated and abused. which is a really fascinating look at this character we used to see pretty much unilaterally as a one dimensional bitchy villain.
i mean we got a more in depth look at Penelope’s and Biz’s motivations in s1 (Penelope being the popular rich girl sorceress obviously hungry for power and the alllure of the high school clout that is being prom queen, but also we know that her having to turn on her best friend Sam Nightingale as part of the scheme was something she was reluctant and not happy to do; and Biz being that predatory incel creeper type dude besides just a nerd with computers and a lack of social graces). and they were as much willingly active in the plot as Aelwyn was. yet in s1 they really never do bother to explore Aelwyn’s motivations. i remember after watching s1 but before s2 that was one of my biggest lingering questions: why tf was Aelwyn involved?
well. she was manipulated and abused. her terrible parents raised her in an awful environment that conditioned her to Listen and Obey and Behave and Be Perfect, and then Kalina helped cinch the noose around her neck with threats and coersion into the KVS Kaper and the NMK crown debacle. she doesn’t freely choose any of it; she’s coerced, manipulated, abused.
and she already got justifiably punished for her bad actions in s1. the torture is almost literal overkill. it’s just……there’s this immediate turnaround in sympathy and view of the character. on first watch, it’s viscerally upsetting to see her getting so brutally punished for actions she already faced consequences for, and on rewatch, it makes your skin crawl to know she’s being tortured for terrible things she had little choice in carrying out. and tortured by some of the very same people who coerced her to behave terribly in the first place, to add insult to injury.
and it’s still fucking frustrating when they rescue her and her memory gets reset and she goes back to her parents because it’s like “well shit, she’s evil again, and we just wasted all that effort for nothing” but it’s also sad cause we know she’s running back to her abusers and she isn’t happy about it but doesn’t feel like she has a choice. and it’s sadder still that what eventually inevitably gets her to turn to good for good (i.e. away from her parents) is just. a full dissociative mental breakdown.
(but then she survives and it’s gonna be good!!! until Adaine dies in her fucking arms. which is. almost funny. she’s been through so much shit and that isn’t something that Brennan would have just. preplanned. like a written in plot point. no, that was just an unpredictable consequence of the battle. what a juicy fucking moment. she’s been through All That Shit™️ and has finally turned to fight for good and her sister just fully dies in front of her. yeowch)
and she turns out okay in the end. she comes out the other side alive and whole and supported by her sister and her friends, with the hope of a future and recovery. there is an acknowledgement that A) she can and will grow from her mistakes and damage, B) it’s going to be really hard, and C) the post-s2 one shots both prove that she’s doing okay now. hell, she has a whole squad now of other former-teenage-villains-turned-good-guys. she has friends now, Ragh and Zayn, with common ground, and a secret handshake and everything. they’ve all grown from the mistakes of their past into better, happier, healthier people
and about Zayn and Ragh. we’ve seen a lot of characters, protagonist and antagonist, teenage and adult, PC and NPC do some really fucked up shit and get punished for it. but why do they get happy endings? why are Aelwyn, Ragh, and Zayn the only members of the RVS and not someone else like Biz or Penelope or Dayne? 
well, the latter two are dead by then; but then again, Biz and Ragh were also killed by the Bad Kids in s1, and subsequently resurrected. (Zayn died too, but was neither killed nor revived at the Bad Kids’ hands, so i’ll get to him in a sec.) and there are plenty of adult antagonists the Bad Kids face who are killed and left that way by the Bad Kids without second thought: Johnny Spells, Coach Daybreak, Captain Wicklaw, the Abernant parents (presuming Arianwen doesn’t survive in the forest for very long, which i doubt). why do some characters get second chances while others don’t?
in the case of Zayn, his death was pretty much out of the Bad Kids’ hands, and they later found out he was manipulated by Daybreak into being bad anyway because of his sad living situation. he was a pretty minor antagonist in the scheme of things, and when we re-meet him as a ghost in the s1 epilogue, he’s pretty obviously remorseful for his actions. and dying seems like a steep enough punishment to me for the shit he did to contribute to the KVX caper; returning as a ghost, free from the trappings of his unfortunate living life, he now has the room and freedom to grow into a better person.
in the cases of Daybreak, Spells, Wicklaw, and the Abernant parents: these are bad people who should know better. these are fully grown adults who actively choose to do evil. whether they think it’s the right thing to do or not (in Daybreak’s case), whether they think it will benefit them and don’t care about anyone else (in the Abernants’ case), or whether they don’t care much at all and are just doing shit because they feel like it (in the cases of Spells and Wicklaw), these are all adults who consciously make the decision to do terrible things and hurt other people. of course Johnny Spells, who is generally a punk thief and thug, is not on the same level of bad as Angwyn, who kidnaps and tortures his own daughters for political gain, but the point remains. these fuckers should know better. they’re grown ups. they had their chances to be good and they chose not to heed them. their minds are set on bad actions and they are a continued danger to other people as long as they are alive. when they die, the Bad Kids do their damndest to make sure it stays that way.
now, in the cases of Penelope and Dayne: these are teenagers who actively chose to participate in an evil plot. Penelope, Dayne, and Biz were all fully cognizant of what they were doing trying to raise KVX back to his former power. why? well, to some extent, we can only speculate. i suspect Penelope was just one of those Regina George bitches who is rich and popular and powerful and obsessed with power and popularity within high school as if that’s the end-all-be-all of existence (which, like, when you’re currently in high school, is a somewhat understandable worldview i think). Dayne being her boyfriend and a musclehead jock probably falls into a similar line of thinking. they are actively and willingly trying to cause harm, and teenager or not, must be stopped. they’re killed, anyway, during the Climactic Battle™️ anyhow; it’s not like the Bad Kids were going to gain anything at that point by keeping them alive.
now, Biz: Biz is the creepy Nice Guy incel type, sees woman as a prize he deserves to win, yadda yadda. he does, like Penelope and Dayne, actively choose to help KVX. there might be something to be said about his motivation the Bad Kids discover after the arcade battle by detecting his thoughts (that being to upload the captured maidens from the palimpsests to “call the shots” himself) is an altered memory; whether this was his original motivation from the start or not, i’m not sure. but the Bad Kids do kill him – and then resurrect him for important, time-sensitive information. and they beat it out of him – he gets two of his fucking fingers blown off. and Riz reattaches them once they have their info, and they realize his memory is altered. of course, the Bad Kids don’t know at this point that the altered memory was something he, Penelope, and Aelwyn had planned and agreed on and done to themselves, but this points to something important in my opinion: the Bad Kids, and the narrative/show as a whole by extension, acknowledge that external manipulation affects how guilty someone is in a crime.
which brings us to Ragh. Ragh, introduced from episode 1 as the meathead jock. Ragh the archetypical one-dimensional high school bully. Ragh who works with the harvestmen in effort to (ostensibly) end the world/provoke international war. Ragh, whose low intelligence but high loyalty and internalized homophobia led him to be fully swayed and blindly led by his coach and captain, who have actively chosen to do evil. Ragh who is killed in combat by the Bad Kids and resurrected for information, not Daybreak. Ragh, who the Bad Kids realize was probably not aware of exactly what he was being made to do and how bad it really was. Ragh, who by their kindness in sparing his life and directing him on a better path, becomes a well-rounded character and an active ally to the Bad Kids during and after prom, an invaluable companion during their quest in sophomore year, and overall a really good friend and person. 
(it might also be worth considering the case of Jawbone here, too, who started out a very minor antagonist in a fight but ended up becoming a major NPC because the Bad Kids talked to him, found out he came from an unfortunate situation and set of circumstances, and showed him kindness in offering the school guidance counselor position, a kindness that isn’t really owed but given anyway and ends up changing his entire life for good.)
and then, Aelwyn, whose case is already discussed above. so, why is the RVS what it is, why them but not others?
if you’re familiar with Avatar: the Last Airbender, you’re probably familiar with Zuko’s character arc, and how it’s often lauded as a masterful example of developing a villain into a hero over the course of a narrative. what makes Zuko’s arc so well done and exceptional is that he starts out as a kid in a bad situation under the influence of bad adults seeking to do bad deeds, but he later realizes the error of those ways, actively removes himself from that situation despite the difficulty and danger in doing so, goes through a lot of shit and reflects on his past mistakes and learns from them, and then actively chooses to fight for good in the end with the help of close, trusted friends, found family. 
this, i believe, is the same in the case of Fantasy High and its treatment of the RVS. its members, like Zuko, are all teenagers who came from shitty situations and were manipulated by evil adults to do bad. they are punished for their bad actions, and they learn from their errors and mistakes. with the kindness and help of good people, friends and chosen family, they are able to escape their abusers and bad situations and grow into their own people. and they actively choose to improve themselves with that help and fight for good.
Fantasy High, through the arcs of Jawbone, Zayn, Ragh, and especially Aelwyn, asserts that it is not your fault if you come from a bad situation and are forced to behave badly as a result. it does not pretend that you are absolved of any responsibility for those actions; quite the opposite, as even though they were externally manipulated into their evil actions, all of those mentioned characters face tangible consequences for their actions and later express remorse for their mistakes. but Fantasy High also asserts that even if you have made great mistakes in your past, even if you came from a bad situation beyond your control, even if you were manipulated and abused, with care and love and support and a hell of a lot of work and effort, you can improve your situation and find good, happiness, peace, you can thrive. evil adults who should know better don’t get redeemed. teenagers who aren’t coerced but actively choose evil don’t get redeemed. but abused kids deserve another shot at happiness. with enough work, and some love and help along the way, they can get there, even from the lowest imaginable point, from rock fucking buttom. it’s possible.
