My family was talking about going to a christening and my little brother goes "I can't go to church, my inner demons are gonna burn :("

Dude you're ten years old, what inner demons. You can't own land. You can't even make an ao3 account. WHAT INNER DEMONS.

ENTRY 657

Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring 2 said it best: "Your name gives me dominion over you demon, and I do know your name."

We’ve all heard the phrase “inner demons” at least once before. What these words actually represent is the personal, emotional, and/or psychological struggles a person faces within themselves.

Some of the most common traits of inner demons come in the form of addiction with crippling dependencies on things like drugs or sex, unresolved past traumas and triggers that haunt and taunt the mind, and negative thought patterns often governed by things like anxiety or pessimism.

So if I’m talking about thoughts and emotions, why bring up a movie based on demonic activity? Because the process is all the same. You have to identify the demons before you can slay them. By calling out and working on your addiction, trauma, or mental habits, you’re putting those inner demons to rest, barring the door so they can never have access again.

While it is true that each of these things can revisit you while you’re activity working against them and making process, it’s just like when someone knocks at your door or calls your phone, you don’t have to answer. This puts control back in your corner. More thoughts later.

I am the ashes, but I shall not rise, No phoenix wings will sweep across my skies. Primal fire consumed my sins and breath, And left me glowing in the house of death. A lonely light above the fallen's grave, To guide the innocent, the souls I save, Into the quiet where all sorrows cease: The sweet oblivion of eternal peace.

Inner Demons: It's fun to think of how Shigaraki steadily gets more and more in over his head. I mean, given that Iida seems to be the second one to get a voice in his head after killing Stain, it stands to reason that the USJ attack isn't all that different, but as time goes on more and more of Class 1A get supernatural power boosts and Shigaraki, who isn't getting any supernatural power so that AFO can bodyjack him, just can't keep up. Sucks to be him lol.

This of course leads to a lot of destroyed gaming gear, consoles, and doors. Possibly even early hair loss due to the stress.

Inner Demons: I just had the idea that Lady Jigoku is *really* respected in supernatural circles. So against all odds, *Mineta's* supernatural voice (or one of them) tends to have quite high standing when the 'supernatural voices in their head' support group meet.

Meanwhile Izuku's oni was rather low ranking, and Stain only just became an onryo, so Izuku and Tenya's voices are of pretty low standing, much to their consternation.

Inner Demons

I could see the demons trying to impose such an order, but Izuku and the humans would tell them to knock it off while the humans are the ones in control.

They can have their hierarchy later, the heroes were in charge now.

Inner Demons AU:

Been a while since I brought up this AU.

I had a thought: Mei, upon hearing about Izuku and his Oni “Quirk” takes it upon herself to make Izuku a special support item, a high tech kanabō.

A kanabō is a type of Japanese war club, think a very large baseball bat either made of metal or wooden and covered with metal spikes or studs, traditionally associated with Oni.

Inner Demons

I think that would be a wonderful idea, might even have a 'nerf' mode for training, subduing enemies, and generally being a little gentler.

Little, in that if he still swings full strength, that foam bat is going to send someone through the lower Exosphere.

So it's got spiked, flaming, electrical, studded, foam, and double impact off the top of my head, any others you suggest folks?

The most dangerous place to be is the prison of thoughts.
