LIFE HAS GONE TO HELL, ABED! THIS IS REAL! LOOK AT US! LOOK AT ME!


DARKEST TIMELINE MEME


The darkest timeline is a phenomenon when there are multiple possibilities for a situation to turn out and progress forward. Each has a different outcome, but one of those possibilities. One of them is the darkest timeline. The timeline in which everything goes wrong and there's no turning back. The villian gets the weapon that will end the war instead of the heroes, you fuck up someone's food order and they turn out to be the health inspector, the cabin you picked has an axe murderer in it, you come back from a pizza run and the whole room is on fire or everyone has grown evil beards--wait, what?

In any case, explore those here: it may not be the end! Maybe you just have to live with this shit forever because there's no way out. You can make it serious or not, whatever. You do you.

[Open to expanded canon bad ends (failing to beat a dungeon in time, post accomplice ending, losing against Izanagi p4DAN ribbon bondage mindwipe etc) or any other things you can think of!

Also open to Trustfell r2 bad ends- being rolled as a killer/vic, everyone dies at the end or is trapped in stasis, actually managed to shank Black or tried again later -basically anything other then an outright Mastermind au since I've already done that.

Or anything really, toss shit at me]

[Thursday nights are dangerous times to be out and about, Yosuke.

To Yosuke's credit, he's not doing a bad job defending himself - to Yosuke's credit, if his assailant had been anyone other than Kamui, an actual vampire, he probably would be doing even better.

And certainly neither of them expected Kamui being pierced from behind with a sword, back to chest, straight through the heart.

Cherryblod is smiling when Kamui collapses, but it's not at all a nice smile.]

[The only thing Yosuke can even physically acknowledge is the spray of blood- that's how fast everything happens and how unaware he was of Kamui coming.

He had been so sure he would be fine. Hell, maybe even lure someone out so he could stop them! He hadn't been thinking 100% clearly. And now someone was dead.
Cherryblod had killed him]


... No, no damn it!

[The weight of just happened hits him like a brick, and honestly he looks about to scream]
cherryblooded: (calm / actually kind of sad)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2017-01-21 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[The malicious expression drops, in favor of one Yosuke would be much more familiar with - parental concern.]

Are you alright? Are you badly hurt?

[He can still talk, and he doesn't seem like any of his wounds are incredibly serious, so he'll probably be fine...]
garudynamic: (Surprise buttsex)

[personal profile] garudynamic 2017-01-21 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He pats himself done- his very short fight with Kamui hadn't had much time to actually do much.

(and he realizes, with horror, that his instincts fighting shadows, which allowed him to react and rely on his speed without letting his brain catch up and panic, likely saved his life)

But that's not important]


You... he's dead-!
cherryblooded: (calm / frown)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2017-01-21 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
So he is.

[Even vampires take a sword through the heart poorly, like everyone else does.]

And?

Cherry...

[Annd he's crying, more from shock then anything, but at least it's silent. Like he fears waking everyone else up]

There... there'll be a trial...
cherryblooded: (calm / thoughtful)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2017-01-21 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Won't be a very long one. Would be defeating the point of protecting you if I didn't just confess.

[They'll arrive, he'll explain what happened, he'll be executed. It'll take maybe fifteen minutes, and most of that will be goodbyes.]

Frisk | Undertale

[personal profile] dustless 2017-01-21 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Probably only good for Sans/Asgores/Charas, but--one where the player abandoned everything at the end of a No Mercy run and never reset, or where Frisk wrestled control back from Chara, whichever version you prefer.]

Mettaton | Undertale

[personal profile] mttbrandlegs 2017-01-21 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Undertale is absolutely the canon for this.

Bad ends for Mettaton include: The ending where he's a power-hungry king who brainwashed the masses FOR THEIR OWN GOOD, or dying to a murderchild who basically just tapped on him.

Additionally, I'd love to play in someone else's canon bad end. I just have to know it, so feel free to ask! Nothing ventured, nothing gained.]

[ He'd come to in a dark basement room. Whatever spells and potions had kept him docile and kept had worn off. The evil man who'd stolen him away, kept him prisoner while he stole his face... was gone. Graves kicked his way out of the locked room and ran up the stairs, only to find the building above in ruins. He ran out to the street, but the rest of the block was torn asunder as well. Witless and wandless, the only thing Graves can think to do is to make his way to the Woolworth Building and try to get a handle on the situation.

Things are worse than he thought. Half of New York is gone in waves of rubble and torn steel. The Woolworth Building is the only thing standing, with a swirling cloud of inky black dust crowding its upper floors. Inside, dead witches and wizards litter the floor. Graves grabs the first wand he sees, and heads for the roof.

When he emerges into the storm, his worst fears are confirmed. This is the work of an obscurus, one that's grown so powerful it's taken out most of Manhattan. There, hovering in the air above him, is a young man, the center of it all. Graves arms himself and calls out, ]
Stop this!

[ It hurts. It's always hurt in a way, crawling under his skin and at the back of his skull, but this is different. This is being ripped apart into a million tiny pieces all over again, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Lied to. All lies. Once let loose the Obscurus inside him had run rampant, leveling as much of the city as it could. That hurts too - and he's so tired.

He's so tired and he wants to stop but he doesn't know how. Those Aurors had tried to kill him and the Obscurus had lashed out accordingly. The ache of it rolls down his spine (does he even have a spine anymore?)

Credence can feel his entire being, the entire Obscurus, burning to rip apart the man before him. It's-- ]


You lied to me. [ It sounds like an exhausted hiss from the storm of magic rather than an enraged roar.

Credence wonders if his magic is going to kill him after all. He'd deserve it, he thinks: his mother was right. His magic is dangerous and evil. But so is the man that treated him like...

He doesn't register that it's a different man, that it's not someone who built him up, took from him, and broke his trust. ]


You lied to me.

[ He is, at least, able to somehow form the shape of a person, albeit hunched over and far away from Graves. It's just that the magic, the Obscurus, is still whipping around him like dangerous coils ready to strike. ]

You said you could help me. You said you could make it stop.
