    i have a long running OC I created as a teen that i think i made for this reason. also was raised Catholic so might have something else to do with that lol. but her character basically cobbled together marginalized humans and protected them.

    never really thought hard about this i just thought goth demons were sexy and cool but might explain why i am attracted to that trope sicko-power

      I actually have right now an OC idea kicking around in my head that’s a trickster demon whose whole thing is playing jokes on high-up authority figures that make them look embarrassing and foolish. Her whole MO comes from my own realization of how arbitrary and transient many of the rules and hierarchies in our own world are, so it’s not a long jump from there to a figure who says “Lol your capitalist realism, I was there when medieval kings were saying that feudalism was an inviolable law of nature, now watch as I make this fascist loser embarrass himself.”

          Thank you!

          She considers the raising of the Soviet flag over the Reichstag to be history’s most magnificent practical joke. It doesn’t get much better than a 1000 year Reich turned into a 12 year Reich by the very people it believed itself destined to conquer.
