So I saw @michaelscaprisun post and be like, "I need to make a fanfic of this ASAP"

So here you go,

Imagine Gavin being taken away by the bad people and the others couldnt save him. And it seemed ridiculous that a god could been taken, could be kidnapped but it did happened after all. Ryan, the Dark God was so livid that someone dare to take what his, that he sweared he would save Gavin but he couldnt. Not only Ryan, the others too. The other gods were so frantic when they receive the news that Gav had been taken and they also had did everything they could but they just couldnt. Surely those people who kidnapped Gavin were professional. But why? Why Gavin? As a leverage against the other gods? Gavin wasnt weak they all know that - he's from being one. So why?

And Gavin cursed himself for being so kind to others that he couldnt see their wickedness. He try to get out of the bind (rope? a piece of cloth?) but he cant. Why the hell he cant get out? And why was he kidnapped? Who knows for that answer. But Gavin wasnt so worried, he knew the other would come and save him. And by the time they come, they would regret doing this to him. So he waited.

Time passed and he didnt know how long he had waited. Hours? Days? Weeks? Probably some minutes. So he waited and waited and waited and hope for the others to come. But they never did. The captors had come wearing mask (typical), torturing him and then left him to bleed in the darkness. They never say anything to Gavin, never telling their purpose for kidnapping him and it was driving him insane. He needed to know why? Why him of all gods? But they never tell and he was left in the dark.

Then time passed, he was tortured, he was bleeding, and the others still hadnt came. Everything hurts, his body (sure hes a celestial being but he could still feel pain), his mind, and most of all his heart. He was abandoned wasnt he? The others had left him to die. At first he doesnt want to believe that, he still hold on to 0the fact that the others would come and save him. But they didnt.... and his mind was slowly breaking away.

He felt the stabbing in his heart, the feeling of betray, abandon, hurt. He felt his sadness slowly turning into anger. How dare these lowly creature, these disgusting humans think they could hurt him without any explaination? Oh, they will face their punishment. The rope binding him was burned away with the sheer fire he ignite. And the darkness surrounding him made him more powerful than he had ever felt. He could see the captors running in the room with guns on their hands but they couldnt do anything as the darkness control their body to kneel in front of him as soon as they enter the room.

And they were begging to let them go, to release them. Oh, how delicious their begging were. Gavin craved for more. The darkness that control their body make them raise their hands (the one holding for the guns) and point at their other hands. Those hands which dare to kidnapped him and torture him and he command them to shoot. The screams were like melodies to Gavin. He needed to hear it more... and so he did. Make them point at their legs and shoot, make them point at their ears and shoot, make them point at their stomach and shoot. And lastly make them point at their forehead and shoot.

Gavin walked away. The darkness following him but oddly his whole being glow like a sun. It was too bright but too dark at the same time. As soon as he was out of the building, he was met with the setting sun. Its dusk now and Gavin could felt the darkness bowing down to him, could felt the light bowing to him. Gavin smiled and relinquished in his newfound power.

The captors had pay for what they did, now the others should have too.

I got really into the differences between the Solar Queen and the Dusk Lord (can’t remember who coined that title, please message me if you know!) and just needed to draw something with the two of them. And with pretty colours.

I may write more about how I’ve interpreted the two characters, but if I do it’ll be over on my writing blog, so keep your eyes peeled over there if you’re interested!

Hello! I REALLY love your drawing of dusk lord Gavin and i could clearly see the difference between their personalities. Could you explain about your dusk lord gavin headcanon?

Thank you so much for the message! And sorry for the delayed response - my computer died recently so I’m having to borrow a friend’s to write this up. As a result, this may be a bit rambly… especially since I’ve got A Lot of headcanons.

My basic idea was of Gavin, the God of the Sun and Love and Craft and Monsters, a trickster god, being known by two main titles (Solar Queen and Dusk Lord), with each one encapsulating a different side of the god.

Also, while we’re talking headcanons, I headcanon God!Gavin as being genderfluid, so I will use a few different pronouns over the course of this. And, without any further ado, I’m going to delve into how their specific roles break down under the cut!

So, Gavin’s main domain is obviously the sun, and with the titles alone you can see the difference between the Solar Queen and the Dusk Lord. The Solar Queen is more of a bright, sunny day, almost blinding. The Dusk Lord is warm and colourful, but definitely has a darker edge, closer to their monstrous kin.

And like, I know monsters technically spawn in darkness? Which is far more associated with Ryan? But the monsters themselves, besides Endermen, I’ve always associated more with Gavin. So I’m saying they fall within his domain. And the fact that he’s the god of the sun is the reason that his favourite monsters (Creepers) can roam in daylight without being harmed.

One quite interesting difference between the two is what we’ve seen of their relationships to love. The Solar Queen seems very in love with the idea of love itself - though she does love people, she also seems to have this goal of a house and a spouse, someone to share a bed and have a kid with. She didn’t much care whether Michael or Ryan fills that role (though, again, I’m not saying that she doesn’t love both Michael and Ryan).

From what we’ve seen of the Dusk Lord, which I’ll admit isn’t much, they seem far more devoted to Michael, even willing to become a cyborg so that they could marry. But we’ll have to wait and see how that unfolds. For the moment, I definitely picture the Dusk Lord as being more… I guess the way to phrase it would be ‘selfless in love’. Willing to do anything for their beloved(s).

And another interesting difference is their status as a trickster god. The Solar Queen enjoys playing tricks (such as ‘dinging’ the others, or using the doom machine) but overall plays the fool, ending up the butt of the jokes. The Dusk Lord is far more the archetypal trickster god, manipulating those around him for a laugh. Picture Gavin in Between The Games, convincing people to waterboard each other or fling glass objects across the room for fun, or even Gavin in Slow Mo Guys, asking Dan to enact stunt after stunt for entertainment.

…Mostly because I really like chaotic, trickster Gavin and need more of it in content!

I think the craft aspect is the simplest, with Gavin devoting himself to projects, creating all sorts of little trinkets with decocraft for his own amusement, obsessing over solar panels, getting his attention caught by the Duskflame Hex and stopping at nothing to create it. I do find it really interesting how he devotes all his attention to one project at a time, even sabotaging previous accomplishments in pursuit of his new goal, such as when he built the ‘Lad Pad’ directly over the solar panels. And when he has nothing crafty to absorb his attention, that’s when he turns to pranking the others. So, for your own safety and comfort, please make sure Gavin has something achievable and engrossing to focus on, lest he wreak havoc and chaos on everyone around him.

To round this off, I’m just quickly going to talk about personality differences (since you did originally ask about the Dusk Lord’s personality).

The Solar Queen is mostly based upon the Let’s Play Gavin - endlessly cheerful, creative, and chaotic. Willing to hurt those around her for a laugh, which always ends up backfiring on her. Entertains and aggravates in equal measure, but at the end of the day you know everybody loves her.

The Dusk Lord is more… well, I’ve already mentioned Between The Games and Slow Mo Guys. I also have to give a shoutout to Let’s Plays like Hitman and Towerfall, where Gavin is more competent and therefore doesn’t play the idiot so much. More calm overall and very focused on whatever he’s doing. The type to wind everybody up, then stand back and watch the fireworks go off. Still cheery, but you never know whether that cheer is at your expense or not.

Speaking of, I really adore the whole idea of Dusk Lord Gavin being the Solar Queen’s fall from grace in a sense, a darker and eviller version (and I especially love what you wrote on it!) and while I did go in a different direction with my own headcanons, I would definitely say that it influenced said headcanons to some degree.

I hope you enjoyed my ramblings, and thank you once again for your message! <3
