grief above all else. Self loathing, anger, grief, anger, grief

how do you confront the visage of the man who ruined your life?

i dont mind doing requests. They usually help me with drawing ideas👍

Also. Grace and Sherry seem like they would be Friends, I hope we get to see them interact eventually. Same with Grace and Claire.

I feel like Jake would have no idea what to do with Zeno if/when he meets him lol. I think he'd just be really weirded out but maybe a smidgen sympathetic too? Like what if this dude was also created and then abandoned by wesker.

The minute Zeno takes a step at Sherry though, it's for sure over for him lol. Jake would beat him to death with his bare hands and not feel bad about it for a second.

If Zeno wasn't hostile I think Jake would probably just avoid him at first? Eventually they maybe get to the point of like estranged cousins who only met as adults or smth. Would love to see Jake working with a reformed Zeno to take down whatever remains of Weskers legacy.

As for Sherry and Grace?? Hell yes they're besties after this! I've read so many good fics where Sherry backs Grace and Emily up after the events of RE9 and I just think they would be so good for each other. Helping Emily and making sure she has a childhood outside of a lab would probably heal something in Sherry.

And because this wouldn't be me if I didn't have a Sherry/Jake component. I think Jake would be phenomenal with Grace and Emily. No one is more surprised than him, but something about his blunt demeanor mixed with how gentle he is with Sherry really sets the Ashcroft girls at ease. Sherry would be just a puddle of heart eyes in the corner when she sees Jake lift Emily up to sit on his shoulders lol.

And god Claire with Grace. I can't imagine the emotions that would dredge up for her. Similar to Sherry, helping Grace get custody of Emily and make sure she knows she has support and isn't alone would heal something in Claire. She would adore Grace and Emily and will pull every string and favor she has to make sure they end up better than she, Leon, and sherry did.

Best I've got nailed down for DMC4's timeline:

-They both have a major crush on Kyrie and both agree that, if she doesn't pick both of them, then the one who doesn't get picked has to buy comfort food for the other for a month. (Kyrie picks both of them, of course, so all is well in the polycule.)

-Nero meets Agnus for the first time, recognizes him as Nico's asshole dad, calls him as such, and plans on kicking Agnus' ass just for the simple fact that the bastard made Nico cry/hurt her feelings. He still gets stabbed and almost dies, but still.

-Idk how Dante would handle having to kill Agnus, once he knows that's Nico's dad, besides him being pissed at Agnus and feeling guilty for killing him, assuming Nico would hate him and never want to see him (and possibly Nero) ever again if she knew.

OKAY BUT CONSIDER THIS AS WELL:

NERO INTERNSHIP AU. JUST HAVE DMC4 BE A FEW YEARS EARLIER SO THEY'RE STILL SHITHEAD TEEN AGED AND NICO HUNTS DOWN DANTE BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO KNOW THE GUY WHO HAS HER GRAMMAS BEST GUNS.

Dante gets stuck with all these fucking kids and he's going to casually look away when they're holding hands and blushing.

Bonus if Patty is there. And. A menace. Because she has to be, if Dante is going to have other kids [they're not kids] around, then she feels justified forcing her way into his life [and everyone else's lives].

Trish and Lady are Vodka Aunt/Wine Aunt and are giving Bad Advice but you CANNOT tell me that they don't care.

I think its just the Matrix of Leadership that lets them haunt Optimus, you said, right? (Sorry.) Still, if the Primes COULD haunt Elita and B and maybe even Megatron through their cogs, what would that be like? (If you wanna roll with this idea, I mean.)

well yeah! i've talked about this before but essentially yes! elita and bee are being haunted by alchemist and micronus respectively. not to the level OP is, but they can definitely talk to them. bee has an easier time with it but as time goes on and elita gets more comfortable with hearing a disembodied voice inside her head her bond with alchemist becomes stronger too. they can't manifest visually to them tho! maybe as sparks but it would take an unfortunate amount of effort to keep it up

as for megatronus and megatron... well, it's kinda easier if you just read what i've written about them before 😅

"Nothing Like God" tea, inspired by Trigun: Stampede, but Adagio still has it on their website under "Teas"; Google should let you find it, hopefully. There's sample tins that are $6, which are good for 5 cups, if you wanted to try it out.

It's a smokey blend of lapsang souchong, chocolate, cinnamon, cornflowers, cocoa nibs, and chocolate chips. It's DELICIOUS, to me, but OH BOY is it strong. There's so much caffeine. I always prefer it with honey and milk, because I like how it plays with the smokey flavor, but dress it up however you like. It's sold loose leaf, so you'll need an actual tea strainer, but still tasty.

Oh I’ll have to give that a try!

I had a tea place a few years ago I really liked, but then I stopped drinking it and lost the name. My friend suggested Harney and Sons (I believe is the name) and they’re really good for loose leaf teas I’ve been drinking so much since I got my first order from them.

Solid quality, acceptable prices.

Im not a huge Lapsang fan - I love Smokey scents and incense and such but Smokey tea is a little rough to me. I’m still willing to try it though - try something once and more if you like it has been a bit of a life long guiding principle ^_^

I do really love chocolate too >.>

I might have to look into milk jams, I don’t usually do dairy (just cause it goes bad before I use it all even in small quantities), but I was talking about milk jam yesterday and I need to find a good supply again. Cause I bet a honey milk jam or chocolate one would be incredible with that blend.
