Stagnant Author Rambles

Just a place for me to ramble about random things, while I suffer through my writer's block. Will be posting OCs, headcanons, AUs, and anything else I feel like. Any pronouns

[viridian-vidalia]

Would anyone be interested in me posting some of my original stuff on here? Like new OCs(not related to my fanfic), worldbuilding stuff, cus I kinda hyperfixated on Doom for 3 months and in an autism fueled state of creative mania I made a 5k word(so far) Google doc entirely of world building for this new story I'm working on. That and for keeping track of my characters, if I had to give a quick summary. If I had to give a quick summary, hell tried invading the planet Aeternitus, but they didn't account for human adaptability and willpower. So now, it's an all-out war, humans with an affinity for magic or Hell Energy or even both are automatically conscripted to the Hell Guard, every kingdom, from all 8 continents are required to provide at least 200 soldiers capable of magic, human or otherwise.

The main character can best be described as gay John Henry if he became a demon hunter. Well, not really hunter cus they're soldiers, but tomato tomato.

Alright so haven't been active in a while, but I need to rant about something. So I just got into an argument on tiktok about Wendigoon and his name (obviously inspired by the wendigo) and they were saying he needs to change it cus he isn't Native or part of the culture. I informed them that he is a quarter Native and was directly taught these stories by his Cherokee grandfather. They got mad pointed out that the Wendigo isn't a Cherokee creature. And they're right it's from the Algonquin tribe's myths and folklore. I even said this, but I also made the obvious connection of "his grandfather was probably taught the stories by a member of the Algonquin tribe since we didn't start letting Native culture be in the public eye until very recently" they completely ignored that. They then went on to talk about how if Isaiah knew the stories properly, he wouldn't have named himself that. I pointed out that most members of the Algonquin tribe still use shorthand and nicknames to refer to the Wendigo. And that Wendigoon obviously isn't the things actual name. I also asked them to actually refer to the tribes by name when speaking about their culture. They ignored ALL of that and instead expose that they didn't do the slightest bit of research before making a judgment that Isaiah was racist by saying and I quote "his name is literally the creature's with -on slapped at the end" meaning they thought his name was Wendigo-on, and not wendi-goon. They also tried saying he catered to nazis and that he was probably a white supremacist.

They were white knighted so hard they just started being racist basing their thoughts on generalizations, stereotypes, and ignoring real information. I'm getting so tired of the savior complex these people have about POC and especially indigenous people because they refuse to listen to actual Natives or even just people know about Indigenous culture. Sorry for the rant, anyone who read this far. Thank you, anyone who didn’t, then how are you reading this?

I feel like I'm going insane everytime I interact with older members of Fandom spaces. Cus I just had to give a whole essay on why defending pedophilic fan works is a bad thing actually. They responded with "I ain't reading all that" and then called me a child for not agreeing with them. I swear it's like arguing with conservatives.

"I just don't think we should foster environments that let pedophiles thrive, because it enables them and feeds into their own delusions, allowing them to delude themselves into thinking there's nothing wrong with being attracted to children"

"THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH YOU DAMN MODERN FANDOMS, YOU CAN'T JUST LET PEOPLE LIVE"

Like Jesus Christ, I know old Fandom etiquette was just "if you don't like don't interact" but that was taken too far. It might have prevented conflict, but it did so in such a way of just allowing anyone to do anything without consequence until they did something actually damaging. But even then it took years of people letting open creeps get big and comfortable in Fandom spaces, until inevitably they decided to touch a kid. And this has happened so many times in so many fandoms. "Oh they only write that as a coping mechanism cus they went through it" so did I, and interesting psychology fact.

CSA survivors are statistically more likely to grow up and become pedophiles than anyone else. Not every coping mechanism is good or healthy, and being so cavalier and accepting of blatant signs of developing pedophilic tendencies only feeds and enables them.

I'm stoned right now, and this set me in a shit mood, so I needed to rant, sorry to anyone who read through this probably incoherent ramble.

All im saying is that the golden son beginning quartet squad of Darrow, Victra, Tactus and Roque would be enough to send anyone into a coma. I hate Nero but him employing THAT specific amalgamation of people was lunatic behavior like the chaotic chemistry between those four has GOT to be studied. Can u imagine being on a ship with them at the academy? Id rip my fucking ears out dear god (i love all four they are peak).

The way I literally almost sobbed when Lorn killed him, I straight up hated Lorn, then he admitted to having made a mistake then. I start like Lorn again, AND THEN THOSE RAT BASTARDS WITH THE GOLDBROW WANNABE EMPRESS BITCH OCTAVIA KILLED HIM AND FITCHNER. (Golden Son fucking broke me)

Alright so, I was watching the Wendigoon videos on Ruby Ridge and Waco, and got some inspiration for some World Building for my MHA fic. (Doing anything to avoid actually writing another chapter cus the Author's curse decided to affect my wife.) So here's how Eastern Europe became a frozen wasteland.

Collapse of Eastern Europe

On August 5th, 2497, a group of 20 political extremists from the North American Union, Central Asia, and the Neo-Soviet Union, began conversing on a private forum. On this forum they discussed how the corruption within the Neo-Soviet government had become a deep rooted poison. They spoke extensively about how the government was becoming deeply oppressive. How their economy was decaying from within, pushing towards a recession of cataclysmic proportions. After 3 months of their correspondence, user Mandragora88 real name Jorah Argos. (A Greek-American man, born to a Jewish mother, and Greek father) Decided on a name for this group, Poets of Pride. As time progressed he became the de facto leader of the Poets, leading discussions, pushing his own political ideologies. The belief that the government has been infested by the impure. That a nations citizens should have enough pride in their heritage, in their home to remove the blights of its false rulers. After a year, the Poets had grown larger, with a proper hierarchy, growing from 20 to nearly a hundred. Jorah ordered those within the NSU, to find like minded people, to bring them to the cause. Another year and their numbers had grown from less than a hundred, to thousands, they began infesting the public infrastructure.

Bankers and brokers embezzling money for the Poets, construction workers, sabotaging major public infrastructure. It took a year for a civil war to break out, another half a year for the NSU to be cut off from the rest of the world with a massive wall. It took a week for Jorah to launch the bombs, using the quirk of a technopath and his own quirk Haze to trigger the launch of 30 nuclear missiles. These missiles were targeted at strategic targets, major nuclear power plants, military bases, and previously hidden missile silos. The members of the Poets within the NSU governments were ordered to prevent any retaliatory attacks. The moment the missiles were launched military and swat forces were gathered in an emergency raid team. This team was transported to Jorah's home, a compound in the Rocky Mountains. This lead to a large scale shoot out, which ultimately led to the death of 7 federal agents, 13 swat officers and 25 members of the Poets of Pride. Including Jorah Argos, there were 42 injured, a quarter of which were put in critical condition, many dying in the hospital. But even with Jorah dead, the damage was done, the majority of Eastern Europe was completely destroyed. What wasn't destroyed was mostly uninhabited, during further investigations Jorah's manifesto was discovered.

“We as a people have been corrupted and poisoned by the righteous and noble lies of democracy, of equality, and of freedom. We have been told that the government must represent its people. That all of a nation's people are equal, and that they should be treated as such. And that a person is free to do as they please. This is not true, this is a lie told by the weak so that the strong may bow to them. A man must have enough pride in himself, and his nation to know when it is time to return to our baser state. To return to savagery, so that we may reach ascendance again, we must destroy decadence, embrace savagery and a new age of a great society will emerge. I am the inheritor of fascism's will, I will bring about a new age, an age that will give the common man the pride to fight, and die for his nation's ideals.

Robor in feritate

Fortitudo in unitate”

An exerpt from Jorah's manifesto.

In the modern day, Eastern Europe is still a wasteland, the radiation has long since faded in most places. The wall seperating it from the rest of the continental landmass, has mostly collapsed. It is inhabited by outlaws, savages, and small villages of survivors. The flora and fauna of the area has grown and mutated far beyond what should be natural. There are several portals to the Aether and Warp that have been discovered around the wasteland. The climate has become a volatile arctic tundra, an isolated ice age,a thick permafrost has overtaken nearly every inch of soil.

I was busy thinking about Conquest from Invincible and so now y'all get to hear about how he's one of the most tragic characters.

Conquest is the oldest living Viltrumite in the universe, he has been alive for at the bare minimum 5000 years. More likely, he has lived for 7-9 thousand years. He was likely alive for all of Argall's rule. He was alive to witness as Argall descended from benevolence to madness. He was alive when Thadeus was made the first betrayer, when the Empire collapsed. He was alive when the Civil War broke out, he was alive when Thragg took power, and he was alive for the Scourge Virus to eradicate 99% of their population. Conquest has been the personal attack dog of the Empire for 2000 years, and in that time he has gone mad.

Conquest is considered a monster even by modern Viltrumite standards. He might have been kind, once upon a time, in a millenia long past. But that is a forgotten time, the only one still alive to remember it, being Conquest himself. And even in the depths of bloodthirsty madness, Conquest still hates what he does. But even as much as he may hate it, none would dare disobey the Lord Regent, for he is the apex of Viltrum's children.

Imagine being Conquest, being there to witness first hand as your emperor goes mad, witness how the death brings chaos throughout the Empire. And ultimately to see your once great civilization be reduced to blood thirsty savage conquerors. And then, you are reduced to nothing but a weapon, used to do things that even the most violent of Viltrumites view as atrocities.

Conquest is old enough to have watched stars turn to supernovas, to bathe in the Cosmic dust of a light's carcass. And he has seen stars be birthed, spreading a newborn light within the universe. Conquest is a tragedy who's story will never be told, because the only one who can remember it, has gone mad with the burden of his existence.

[pikku-peruna]

Imma make it even worse by suggesting this headcanon i read where someone thought Conquest could've been a Teacher before all of this happened. That means he would've watched all his students die and have to leave a job he loved to become said weapon

[viridian-vidalia]

I'll make it worse, he probably would've had to kill some of his students, had to watch his students kill their friends in family.

I think Vi and Sevika trained together.

Hi! I’m a professional athlete, mma fighter and weightlifter. Here are some of my thoughts on the fights in arcane.

Hear me out…

Time line wise it’s not unlikely, but their behavior in season one speaks volumes.

During season 1 we see many people comment on Vanders aging and potential loss of power in the lanes because of it.

Vander seems aware of this, and most likely wants to invest in a person to succeed him and take his mantel to maintain peace.

It’s my opinion Violet is his heir. She takes after Vander closely, but that’s not why I think he choose her.

Season one, Vander talks to teenage Vi in a very interesting way. He pleases emphasis on the potential for her anger to hurt others who follow her. Not about how her anger could hurt her.

This entire conversation between them reads more as a lesson in diplomacy and leadership.

Even as a teenager Violet takes this lesson to heart. She seems to be used to this kind of conversation.

The scene where she is teaching the younger kids of the lanes to fight, and Ekkos comment on practicing the moves she showed him tells us she is already fostering a strong sense of community and trust within the younger generation

She is taking on leadership and accountability for the younger kids safety. Just as Vander watches over the smaller folks in the underground.

She already seems to be falling into the mantle of the Second Hound of the Underground.

Okay, okay, what about sevika???

Well Sevika is Vanders right hand. A clear enforcer on behalf of Vander, the acting leader.

Not only does she hold this position but later on she takes the same role for Silco.

We are shown over and over that there are bigger, more physically imposing people in the underground,

But BOTH Vander and Silco choose Sevika as their second

To put it simply Sevika is the most competent fighter in the underground, and has traits that Vander needs Vi to learn.

We see a nod to it here in her comment.

Beyond this Sevika, unlike Vander, cannot rely solely on her physical size. Vander is fuckin huge. By the time Vander is in charge of Vi it would be obvious that she will not be like Vander in that regard.

It’s common among martial artists to train under people who share a size bracket. What works for a 6’5” 300lb man will not work for a 5’7” 180lb woman.

So it’s logical that while Vander trains her on base moves. Sevika would be the choice to impart specific training techniques to neutralize an opponent.

This makes the fights between Vi and Sevika more compelling!

Vi takes personal offense to Sevikas betrayal because it IS personal, Sevika abandons Vi to side with Silco. Not only does she get Vander killed. She fails Vi the second she walks out of that bar and into Silcos arms.

Viewing the scene with this context we can see how VI’s combat style falls apart as her anger takes over.

She becomes blind with rage, unable to tag out even when Sevika lets up and gives her the chance to walk away.

Shes fuckin exhausted here but refuses to stop. Even though anyone who is in martial arts would tell you in a voluntary fight this is where you need to step away.

She seems desperate to win, throwing punches without guard or thought.

But here. Right here. That hand, look at how loose that grip is.

She doesn’t believe that Sevika will hurt her, she assumes that the match is done. She’s pinned her.

In sparring this would be the end. Vi is following the instincts imparted in her during her training with Sevika.

And then Sevika does hurt her. Sevika is going to kill her.

The final straw for me on settling on this opinion was this frame.

Violet is fully surrendering, no fight, no screaming, no panic.

It’s like she’s so shocked that Sevika would do this she’s dissociated.

It’s unthinkable to her. Sevika is a traitor but she wouldn’t kill Vi. She taught Vi. She helped raise Vi.

Ouch. That’s gotta hurt.

Another OC for my fanfic

Titus Aurelian

Quirk, Manticore: Manticore allows Cassidy to spew powerful immolating flames, that burn hot enough to boil Tungsten. He has specialized glands throughout his body, which produce an incredibly potent venom with highly corrosive properties. He has a pair of long hollow fangs for injecting his venom, and a secondary pair of sweat glands allowing him to coat his body in corrosive poison. His skin is tough as stone, muscles bulging like a craggy cliff, and parts of his body are covered in obsidian scales. They stretch up his forearms ending them in clawed hands, his neck completely protected by them. He has naturally monstrous strength, with muscles like forged iron.

Age: 23

Affiliation: Carlisle Balfour

Villain name and titles: Ifrit(villain name), Reaper, Butcher, Dragoon

Appearance: Cassidy is an even more hulking brute than his father, easily more than 7 feet, and big enough to grab a horse by the neck with one hand. His craggy skin has a deep golden tan, and matching his veritable mane of golden hair. His face is like that of a lion, his jaw is strong, cheekbones high, nose strong and prominent, lips thin, and brow heavy. A collection of pale sunken scars run across the left side of his face like trenches. His lips are twisted from the long scar ripping through it, his cheek is sunken from what was once shredded flesh. It connects to a Y shaped scar that runs past his eye and over the bridge of his nose. One of his arms has been replaced by black prosthetic, a black iron gauntlet with golden engravings, a monstrous fist with sharp knuckles and clawed fingers. He is seen more often than not in simple cloth garbs.

Villain Suit: His villain suit is a set of massive sanguine red armor, making him look even more monstrously huge than he naturally does. Like a walking tank, his helmet is a black jackals skull with solid golden teeth. He holds four weapons, three weapons that earned him his titles, an oversized steel khopesh makes him the reaper. He holds a massive sword shaped like a cleaver and it's twin a smaller hooked blade for gutting, these make him the butcher. Finally there is his spear, it is golden in color but not material, with a forked tip, designed specifically to maim, there is a bar halfway down the spear to stop anyone from running down its length. The blades of the spear have micro serrations, for shredding flesh and causing significant blood loss, that makes him the Dragoon. His armor means death and agony to all who go against it, the skull of a jackal is the last thing they will see.

Personality: He is like a great monstrous gorilla, he is a man of few words, not in that he's quiet, but his vocabulary is limited and simple. When not in his armor he is huge and boisterous, and like a drunken titan. He speaks loud and drawled, with simple words and even simpler sentences, his voice loud as thunder. He has an infectious laugh, an infectious joy, you can not be in his presence without a smile. That is of course when he is unarmored, when he is not Ifrit, or the Reaper, or the Butcher, or the Dragoon. When he is in his armor however, he is deathly silent, the only sound to indicate his arrival is the thunder of his march. He moves like a man half his size, agile as a climber, flexible as a dancer, and kills like an executioners axe. When he is in his armor he is not Titus Aurelian, son of Silas Montero and Antonia Aurelian, he is the Reaper, the silent behemoth who brings hellfire and plague. He lives to battle, lives for the rush of a fight, when he dons his armor the only sound he will make is the deafening roars of joy when an opponent can match him. Or the almost childishly boisterous laugh when he completely overwhelms and outclasses an opponent.
