#tw angst

This is Nagasawa, the vice president of the student council; Chiba has temporarily given me his phone so I could write this post, but I will be handing it back to him immediately after. (Despite the fact that I think he is using this blog entirely inappropriately for what he propositioned it to be. I suppose it is in character for him as a total fraud.)

I would reprimand the student who put such a foolish idea into his head, but I believe the problem more so lies in his extremely permeable state of mind. The fact that such a weak-willed, impressionable little boy was elected as president continues to baffle me every day, and I thought I could no longer be surprised by his idiocy until he pulled the stunt he did earlier where he 'confessed' his 'romantic feelings' for me at the top of a children's outdoor playset.

I promptly asked him if that was truly how he felt about me. He said "no." I asked him why he said it then. He said he "thought it would improve things." I asked him what exactly he thought he was "improving" by doing this. He said he didn't know.

Do you see the problem? Chiba does not even have a clue of what he is supposed to be accomplishing as a leader. If he can't even justify to me why he is wasting my time with his gibberish when I could be doing something far more important, how can we possibly expect him to justify his allowance into such an influential role? It would really be a mercy to him to purge him from the student council - don't you all think he's just embarrassing himself?

While that is not something our school policy allows, I just needed to make apparent to you who exactly has been put in charge of things this year so nobody makes the same mistake at the next election. He approached me wearing bright red clown shoes, telling me that his "love" was "like a runny poop that never ended," and confidently admitted that it didn't even mean anything in particular because it did not reflect anything true about himself or his feelings.

He is nothing short of a fraud, an imbecile, and a child. If you have a brain that is even slightly larger than Chiba's - which I know you do, because he is quite possibly the only animal on Earth to be so overwhelmingly stupid - you would avoid giving him the opportunity to screw up a whole school year for the second time in a row.

Bane: "If it grows up weak it will because of its useless mother. I hope you die knowing that."

Sanguine: *soft shaky humming* 🎶🩵

This is Sanguine, and behind her is Black Bane. These are Black Doom's and Black Death's parents.

Tw, unspecified angst and abuse.

It's been 12 years, but losing you still hurts. I didn't just lose the man who loved me the most, who looked after me and protected me. I didn't just lose my dad... I lost my best friend. Half of my soul... and somehow, the pain still feels unbearable. I hope you're looking after me wherever you are, protecting me, sending me little signs that you're around.

I'm glad you're not in pain anymore, but life doesn't feel the same without you... I'm scared, I need you.

I'll love you forever pá♡

His birth name was Benedict Ronan Percy-Montague.

His parents are noble's, hence how he was engaged to a princess. They were also emotionally neglectful and somewhat abusive, especially towards Benedict, who was DEFINITELY a rebellious child. He outwardly calmed down for Sal's sake, but the anger never went away, he just buried it where no one else could see it. In his music.

Pop Fizz is actually his childhood best friend, who he met when the gremlin accidentally launched himself into the mansion's garden after a failed experiment with transformative energy. Ben's parents kicked the alchemist out, but Benedict would often sneak out to see him, and they eventually became friends because of that.

Pop Fizz would often experiment with the same transformative energy that caused them to meet in front of his friend, unwittingly exposing him to a type of magic that he didn't really understand(In other words, Pop Fizz is the reason that Wolfgang was able to transform into a werewolf)

When Ben attempted to perform at his bachelor party, his parents disowned him, the rest of the musical community labeled him a fraud, his brother wouldn't defend him, and his fiancee dumped him in front of everyone. The shock and anger from all of this combined made Benedict lash out, which caused him to inadvertently(and permanently)transform into a werewolf. The pain and confusion brought on by the sudden transformation coupled with the extreme heartache and loss caused him to attack the guests, and he bit Sal on accident, almost killing his brother in the process. This calmed Wolfgang down enough to run away, and eventually, Pop Fizz found him and brought him to Eon, who recruited him as a skylander to help him make up for his crime of passion.

Unfortunately, the other skylanders feared the werewolf, partially because of how rare Undead skylanders were at the time, partially because even other undead avoid werewolves, and partially because of what Wolfgang did after his transformation. So he was shunned and distrusted, the loneliness and hurt and fury eventually driving him mad.

He betrayed the skylanders out of pain and a desire to be cared about. Something that Eon REALLY SHOULD HAVE FUCKING LEARNED FROM BEFORE RECRUITING GHOST ROASTER FOR T H E S A M E R E A S O N HE RECRUITED WOLFGANG-

Speaking of Ghost Roaster, the ghoul is probably the first person Wolfgang was really able to connect with during his redemption arc. He saw a lot of his younger self in the guy, but he also saw someone who was willing to listen to reason and attempt to get back on the right track, something that the werewolf wasn't able to do on his own. The two of them defend each other from those who are suspicious of the other and support each other on their bad days.

Wolfgang regretted joining the Doom Raiders IMMEDIATELY but was too stubborn to admit it. He's glad to have Krankcase, Pepperjack, and Hood Sickle as friends, but he wishes he stayed with Pop Fizz sometimes, or at the very least just quit the skylanders instead of trying to get revenge.

He and Pop Fizz have somewhat repaired they're friendship, but they still have some bad moments every now and then.

He and Pop Fizz never dated in my au, but they were incredibly close, so it actually might have ended up happening if Wolfgang hadn't betrayed him. That said, they're both happier with their current partners than I believe they would have been with each other.

The arrow he shoots from his Bone Harp only appears when he's shooting it because I refuse to depict him as anything but a musician. That arrow is a weaponized musical note and that's all it is.

He is actually an accomplished archer though. His father would often force him to go on hunting trips with him, and since Wolfgang struggled to use a gun, he taught himself how shoot a bow and arrow(and actually ended up quite good at it).

Wolfgang deeply regrets biting Sal, both because he almost killed him and because it's what turned Sal into a werewolf.

There is no way to reverse Wolfgang and Sal's transformation. The only way I can think of is killing them, and I don't think anyone is going to do that.

Fiesta was one of the most prominent people involved in Wolfgang's rehabilitation. At first, the skeleton didn't trust the werewolf AT ALL, but then they were sent on a mission that Wolfgang could VERY easily have betrayed the skylanders and taken over Skylands on, but he didn't. In fact, if it weren't for Wolfgang, Fiesta and Pop Fizz would probably be dead (well, deadER in Fiesta's case). After that, Fiesta began to see the former villain in a new light.

Now, the two of them are incredibly close friends, to the point of Wolfgang knowing about Fiesta's past life and what's under his mask, while Fiesta knows the secret of the Bone Harp and inspired Wolfgang to create a new kind of musical note, one that heals instead of harm's(Which was inspired by one of @madameskylanders-blog's headcanons btw)

Pansexual and D E F I N I T E L Y has a crush on Fiesta. Bro isn't even Trying to hide it, he really wants to be with that Spanish skeleton.

Rock is his favorite genre, but he enjoys all music as long as it isn't terrible. Classical music makes him kinda sad though, since it reminds him of his childhood.

He's best friends with Doctor Krankcase. Wolfgang's probably the only Doom Raider that knows Krankcase is Spy Rise's other parent. It's a secret he'll take to the grave for his friend.

He and Jet-Vac have a very petty rivalry due to what happened with Pop Fizz.

Assuming that anywhere at least

 Decent to you

Heaven knows God’s sitting up there like “Hell no!”

This turned out kinda bad so I apologize for that!! I kinda made this in a rush because I already had a fic very similar to this that I just finished to make this one, so it’s very rushed and I apologize for that! I’m much better at writing headcanons so yeah but I did my best and I hope you like it!!

Also there’s a lot of angst ahead just a fair warning and also it’s not plot accurate

“Beginning the descent.” The lady’s voice rang through the speaker.

Simon huffed in annoyance. The fear in the air clung to his skin as the submarine shook around. As the machine sunk deeper into the blood ocean the lady’s voice began to cut out and soon enough, Simon was alone.

Simon’s anxiety began to kick in as he stood in the submarine ever so slightly shaking like a dog. He took a deep breath and moved towards the back of the submarine where the glow of the button caught his attention. He pressed the button and the flash of the x-ray camera caused Simon’s eyes to squint as it flashed. He looked into the photo, nothing. He let out the breath he didn’t realize he was holding in.

Simon wasn’t familiar with the feeling he was feeling right now, nor did he really notice it. He just felt more small, more scared. Simon shook his head in an attempt to regain focus and moved back towards the front of the machine. He took a look at his map and once he had more of a sense of direction he wrapped his hand around the control of the machine before hesitating to move the machine.

Next thing Simon knew, the submarine was violently shaking around making lots of noise. Simon quickly sprung up from his chair and pressed the button on the furthest back wall. The flash started Simon once more before in the photo he saw something new this time. It was hard to make out what it was though.

Simon felt the familiar sting in his eyes and he began to sniffle. He slid down onto the floor and placed his hands into his face and began to cry. Very few things flashed through his mind at this moment. The main one being he wanted his mom. He wanted comfort he wanted safety, both things he did not have in this moment. He sobbed loudly, it was embarrassing. Simon’s hands wrapped around himself, clawing at the fabric of his clothes. He laid down on the cold metal floor beneath him and sobbed himself to sleep with his thumb in his mouth.

I actually already dove into most of they're backstory's here:

But I can talk about them a little more!

Olive had two siblings before that fateful car crash, an older brother named Adrian and a twin sister named Millie. Her sister died shielding Olive during the crash, and her brother was never found afterwards.

Said missing brother is Adrian Stewart. He somehow activated his portal powers and ended up in the void...With Strykore

Oba used to think that he was albino, but then he found out that melanin can be kinda weird every now and then.

Amari is the most popular of the Portal Masters due to her Light element. Conversely, her twin brother, Oba, is the least popular due to his Dark element.

Oba's birth name was Ofrah. He was actually kind of upset to give it up, but he wanted a masculine name and therefore gave it up. He doesn't mind people knowing his dead name, so long as they don't refer to him by it.

Oba was terrified to come out as trans(which would have been a year before he was brought to Skylands), but he already knew that his sister was gay and wanted to be the one who took the fall whether they're parents were okay with that or not. Thankfully, they're parents accepted him unconditionally, which gave Amari the courage to come out as well.

Before Oba came out, Jack's mother Minnie was certain that Oba and Jack would eventually get together. After Oba came out, she was horrified and told Jack to never speak to "that poor girl" ever again. Thankfully, Jack's father told both Jack and his wife that that was an insane reason to stop talking to Oba and let his son continue to be friends with the Dlamini's. Jack both Jack and the Dlamini twins are grateful that he stepped in.

Oba's favorite stories from African mythology are The Wise Fool and The Snakebite Medicine. Amari's is The Scarecrow.

Wash Buckler took Morgan and his family on a seafaring trip and they all honestly cried from happiness. The crew hadn't sailed in years and were ecstatic to be back on the ocean.

Morgan blames himself for their own/their families trauma and parents death. Therapy is ongoing.

Morgan can and will cuss you out with British slang spoken in Spanish. They've done it before. They'll do it again.

Oba didn't realize he was pansexual until after he joined the skylanders.

Olive dated Blades for the entirety of the events of Trap Team and a few months afterward, but they eventually decided that they were better off as friends. Now, Olive is married to Jack and Blades is dating High Five.

Amari and Torch didn't start dating until two years after the events of Superchargers. They get married after the events of Imaginators.

Olive low-key resented Ghost Roaster during the events of Trap Team because he hadn't been around for five years (which wasn't his fault), but then Ghost managed to sneak away from Eon and Buzz long enough to have a good conversation with her where he explained why he hadn't been around, and that he was sorry, before Eon took him away again. After that, Olive's anger was (rightfully)pointed towards Eon.

Jack's mother hates Olive simply because the way she dresses reminds her of lesbians, despite basically everyone in her family reminding her that Olive isn't attracted to women. Thankfully, she's the only person in her family who thinks this way, so it's not as bad on Olive's psyche as it could be.

In fact, the rest of Jack's family is incredibly accepting of they're in-law and adore her and her children, especially Jack's sister-in-law, which Olive is incredibly grateful for.

Oba and Amari's parents found out that they're children were traveling to another world when they noticed the twins going into an alleyway, followed them, and saw them open a Portal. At first, they were scared and tried to prevent the twins from going back by taking the Portal of Power away from them, but Amari didn't let them and ran off to the academy. Oba was a little more reluctant, but followed his sister.

The two of them did eventually reconcile with they're parents, but it took awhile.

Olive was trained by Stealth Elf, Rattle Shake, and Trap Shadow. Stealth Elf taught them how to fight (which is why Olive typically holds a knife), while Rattle Shake and Trap Shadow helped her hone her soul tracking powers. Both the ninja elf and the magic tiger taught her how to sneak around unnoticed.

Amari was trained by Night Shift, Terrafin, and Knight Light. Night Shift and Terrafin taught her how to use her solar-powered bronze knuckles (she's probably a really good boxer), while Knight Light helped her learn how to fly... Which is difficult when you're wing's are only around for like ten minutes and only appear after you've beat the shit out of a bunch of people.

Oba was trained by Whirlwind and Blackout. Whirlwind taught him how to heal people with the same blast of energy used to take somebody out, while Blackout taught him how to trust his element and use its dark potential to help instead harm. Oh, and they taught him how to make really badass black holes because of fucking course they did-

Cordelia was trained by Drobot, Sprocket, Hex, and Double Trouble. They helped her understand her strange combination of Magic and Tech powers and accept her complex nature. Sprocket and Drobot taught her how to invent and empower technology, while Hex and Double Trouble trained her to hone the magical energy that she produces and transform it into brilliant spells.

Morgan is an Air elemental wielder. Their powers are probably going to function like an Airbenders, but I might change that later down the road.

Cordelia loves her family, but doesn't think they'll believe any of her stories about Skylands unless she brings them there, and she doesn't want to take that risk.

Adrian is being forced to work for Strykore, but hates the villain and what he's forcing him to do immensely.

Adrian actually died once, but was brought back as a Void elemental wielder(which is actually how your supposed to become a Void elemental). It was almost one of the best days of his life, but it quickly became the worst when he realized that death wouldn't accept him so easily.

Olive and Adrian have no idea that the other is alive, but when if they ever find out about each other, Adrian would try his best to protect his sister from Strykore, and Nothing, literally NOTHING, not even the combined forces of both HEAVEN A N D HELL, would be able to stop Olive from getting their brother back.

I plan to give Cordelia a girlfriend, but I want to explore her personality and role in the story before introducing her instead of just making her the token wife of a protagonist.
