Have you ever loved a fic so much that it wrecked you to finally finish it? @number1trashenthusiast recently finished her epic two part series, The Friends That Ruin You, after two years of nonstop writing and weekly updates. The group below wanted to show their appreciation and took up the charge of one last weekly post to play in N1TE's universe.

From all of us: Thank You Trash!

More works to be added as they roll in. AO3 collection here:

An Overlord And a Half (Part 1)

At the peak of his power, the Radio Demon decides to pay a courtesy visit to the new Overlord rising in the gambling business.

Also he's an asshole and takes joy out of bullying the rookies. Though maybe Husk is a little more... interesting than the common bootlicker or the foolish challenger yet to be put in his place Alastor has come to expect after decades of experience.

A little Husk and Alastor character study.

Which could maybe be a bit of Husk-is-the-best-character propaganda. Maybe. Sorry guys I just need more content with him, I love him. So I provided.

Husk's characterization was strongly inspired by @poorlydisguisedbagofbees and @waitingformy-fanfiction's beautiful fic Million Dollar Man. I need to dissect their Husk.

This is supposed to have a much cooler second part coming soon (with Huskerdust involved) but it will probably take forever, so don't get excited. Or maybe do, and suffer with me.

Damn me for choosing higher education I guess.

I'm always weak for prequel fanworks in Hazbin fandom, and this is so meticulously drawn, I love 😍

Volume 2 of Thousand Autumns finished!🍃

I'm ragebaited constantly and Shen Qiao has the patience of a saint.

[acertaincritic]

Fanart for my favorite danmei caught in the wilderness and it's so awesome! 😍

(Also if you like "Thousand Autumns," please also read the author's other series, "Peerless")

Witch Hat Atelier | Opening

[acertaincritic]

So the anime finally came out huh.

I'll binge when it's all out - I have read manga, I'm actually mostly up to date but probably will let it slip away - but this opening looks sick ngl.

[shuravf]

Lets celebrate the anime release🥳

So pretty it made me finish this old drawing

Chapter 14 of Project #RadioApple is up!

-Charlie comes up with a “Master Plan” to help Lucifer

-Alastor has plans of his own

[doorknobinmyayuss]

Angel: *Sitting next to alastor at the bar* ya’know smiles…

Angel: ….I knew you’s were evil n all… *watching lucifer crawl across the floor of the lobby*

Charlie: *Walks over to talk to luci* …………*before joining him on the floor*

Angel: ……..But this…. is just fuckin cruel… *staring as Vaggi starts slowly walking around scanning the ground*

Alastor: Oh don’t be dramatic~ it’s just a bit of harmless fun! *snickering as husk returns from his break… subtly glancing at the floor*

Angel: ……Ya gonna return it right? *looks over to the couch to see cherri doin inventory on her tits*

Alastor: Hmmmm….. *moving his head to follow Niffty as she enters the room*

Niffty: *Gets word of the news* ………*and instantaneously drops to the floor whipping out a comb*

Alastor: ……*sighs* ………………oh alright. *flinging the missing Lego piece back onto the carpet*

Husk and Alastor have a battle of wits, drinking, and jazz. AKA how I think Husk found out about Al’s situation.

Music: JK Sax’s cover of Tones and I “Dance Monkey”

I’m not a talented enough musician so I couldn’t make the music that was in my head lol but dance monkey fits pretty well.

Alastor: Husker, is that all you got? Hahaha, take another shot!

Husk: You ain’t on a sadist’s leash, you can’t know-it-all. Can’t know what I been through, if you ain’t at a beck and call!

Alastor: Ha! I win this spat with ease, looks like you’ve hit the wall. Cuz Jokes on you, I know that too, I know it all!

Husk: You…what?

Al: Perhaps, I’ve had too much to drink this time. Do yourself a favor, banish this night from your mind.

Husk: U-understood.

Al: Hm, good.

[acertaincritic]

I could 100% believe that this was how it happened.

[seazulle]

Hands down my top favorite scene in lotm, the rare moment when Klein managed to out craze Amon.

[acertaincritic]

I haven't actually read the scene yet (waiting on Eng paperback release so prob will take years XD)...

...But damn this art is peak. I love this. It's all of you artists that got me interested in Lord of Mysteries in the first place.

[nekogaaaaaaa]

Me making serious art challenge: Impossible Also, Vox, buddy, how tf you lost by yourself???

[acertaincritic]

Perfection XDDD

[himitsu-png]

[acertaincritic]

This is 100% in character XD

[matcha-chai-latte]

What the fuck did I just read. Is this serious. Soo-won’s end is being alone, empty-eyed and full of regrets?

[himamori]

Look i can unironically even past look prophecy to a degree no matter how ridiculous it is because Any has always been a character and their relationships type of series. Fantasy was never the focus nor its strong point. That being said this is exactly why, i think it is genuinely impressive how Any somehow manages to frame Soowon as the evil demonic bad guy who got the punishment he deserves while Yona is the heroic main character that hasn't even done anything heroic for like 100 chapters which takes half of the story and still gets the "happy" ending she deserves after all the suffering. It is like Soowon wasn't his own character but only served a cartoonish purpose to put Yona under the good light after some point. We all knew that Yona was going to be the ruler at the end of the story but using Soowon's character to serve a purpose like that...which is even more ironic considering Yona implies she wanted everyone to go their own paths, have their own way of living without being chained down to her.

[matcha-chai-latte]

Exactly. I thought ok screw the plot failure, maybe at least the character arcs will be closed up in a satisfying way since this story was pretty outstanding at it.

But not even my worst nightmares could prepare me for this bullshit. Even Yona becoming queen is ridiculous to me, it was nothing certain because Yona never showed any desire to sit in the throne. On contrary the whole palace arc showed how being in the palace is a cage for her, how she missed her freedom. Plus those visions she had about being queen were literal nightmares for her, she wanted none of that future.

She called Soo-won selfish when he named her a successor behind his back! But suddenly now when she is told by him directly “you’re going to be queen in 4 days”, she doesn’t even argue, just takes it as if it’s all according to her plan. What? How does this makes sense?

The way Soo-won was treated is beyond my comprehension, I’m so angry and heartbroken right now. He said only a couple chapters ago that he doesn’t regret killing Il, how tf did he swap opinions this fast and what was the reason? Of course only to make Yona the right one.

I’m disgusted really.

In the end, AnY was indeed a revenge story no? At the end, he's guilty, alone, even crippled!!! He couldn't have gotten any worse punishment now can he? He sacrificed so so much, suffered the most out of the trio, did everything he could to protect his kingdom...but in the end, not a single person showed a shred of gratitude towards him!! NOT A SINGLE ONE!!!

Maybe this is what they say poetic justice???

It's making me sick
