Darksiders - Tumblr Posts

It was as the Pale Rider lay in the cold of his bedroom that he wished the tiredness from the many days long journey he had just endured had no finally caught up to him. For when he dreamed, it was always the same thing. A duo that meant the end.

Falling into the realm of unconsciousness, Death felt air rushing past him, then a sudden stop of hitting something solid. Pulling himself up, all the Grim Reaper saw a blue light in the darkness before, it eventually coalescing into the two people before him.

"Kindred." Death growled, angry to see the Lamb and the Wolf again.

"Kinslayer." Lamb replied, voice monotone.

"Do not mock me. I have had enough for the last while." The Pale Rider said, summoning a pair of scythe.

"Sadly for me, we're not here for a hunt, Kinslayer." Wolf replied, standing behind the Grim Reaper.

"Then why are you here, Kindred?"

The duo were silent at that. A silence that told Death that they were here for something else. Something he may not wish to hear.

Lamb took a step forward, taking the scythe from the Pale Rider's and one of his hands into her own, eyes slowly tracing the lines on calloused skin. Then she Death would note how gentle she was, how she seemed curious of it all. Turning his head slightly, he saw Wolf sitting behind him, eyes treading along the Nephilim's back.

"Why are you here, Kindred?" Death would ask softly.

"We wish to here your stories." Wolf responded.

"My... stories?"

"Yes. For you have lived a long life, and will live long still, yet we have not seen it all, cannot see it all."

"So, you wish for me to tell you of my journeys? Of my life?"

"Yes." The two halves of Kindred said in unison.

"Alright then." Death replied with a bit of a chuckle.

It was in this timeless mental landscape that the Pale Rider told his tales, the Eternal Hunters listening intently. It was as he told of his small detour to Earth when trying to erase his youngest brother's supposed crime that did the duo have a bit more of a reaction. For it was his tale of the Hunter. A human who survived for so long off stubbornness and hope, and how the man had done crimes he would highly come to regret, asking the Pale Rider to slay him as a final request.

Finishing his stories, the Grim Reaper knew that eventually he and the Eternal Hunters would have to part ways. Before doing so however, he would pose his own question.

"Why do you always call me Kinslayer?" Death inquired.

"That is the title we marked you with." Wolf replied, Lamb adding "We mean it as a title to communicate, since we all are Death."

"... I supposed that makes sense." Grumbled the Pale Rider.

Then, as if suddenly a switch had been flipped, the Grim Reaper woke up. He stretched and stood, feeling rejuvenated. Making his way to the kitchen, making himself something to eat, the Pale Rider thought of his time with Kindred. Telling them of his journeys, it felt... good speaking about it with someone other than his siblings, other than people who he is employed by. Maybe it would be good to make some more journeys for him to tell them about.

A couple posts ago I talked about the idea of Darksiders characters as skins in SMITE. Now I want to talk about how I guess, and I do "I guess," they could work if they were legitimate characters in a MOBA. I don't know about how everything in a MOBA works and how exactly passives could work, I am by no means whatsoever an expert, so I'm just going to go over the abilities that would cost mana (or in Darksiders' case, "wrath")

DEATH: The only one I can see as pretty much needed is Death's ultimate being his Reaper Form. It is so much more intertwined with Death than his sibling's super forms are with them, or at least feels that way. For his more normal abilities, I can imagine one of them being his teleport dash, with maybe another being his Aegis Guard, either that or his Reaper Storm, that's the power that he becomes a tornado essentially. I would love to see the Ghouls he summons as part of his abilities but that would probably be at least a bit odd to implement, same goes for the Murder of Crows.

WAR: Blade Geyser is such a part of War's arsenal of powers that it has to be an ability. Guess the same could go for his Stoneskin power as one of his abilities for a MOBA, and finally Rampage as his third ability. His ultimate could implement Chaos Form, I'm just a bit unsure how at the moment.

STRIFE: He's easier than his brothers in a way. His three Wrath abilities in Darksiders Genesis could work as his three abilities, with Shadow Clones as his first, Clatrops as his second, World Ender as his third, and Anarchy Form as part of his ultimate, maybe with him firing his gatling arm and tail laser as a way to potentially decimate opponents.

FURY: She's a bit harder to figure out. Her Wrath abilities are just extensions of the Hollows she gets but she did not always have those. Like her brothers, she ultimate would use her Havoc Form in some way. Maybe take some inspiration from like Aatrox from League of Legends.

I'll probably get to other Darksiders characters in a self-reblog, as like I said, I am by no means an expert when it comes to MOBAs, but if anybody has some input, that would be cool.

The Battleground of the Gods. What a way to waste their time when Creation is on the brink of destruction. At least it is a designated battleground that puts little to no collateral in the way. No humans to kill in a bid to destroy those you hate. The Minions are more like a type of godling than anything else, in a way.

Those were Strife's thoughts as he took in the sites and breathed the air of the battleground. He had ended up here some time ago, some time after the Destroyer had made his attack on the Maker's Tree. He suspected his last minute spell had brought him here to what is a essentially a prison for those that the Charred Council could not destroy without unbalancing the universe. So a pocket dimension where you could keep all these Gods and Monsters together for however long was probably the best option anybody could come up with.

Walking forward into the battleground, Strife readied himself and reached for his guns, only to find he had neither on him. Right. He lost them. Having an idea of where Mercy and Redemption ended up, the Rider of the White Horse pulled out his blades and checked for his caltrops, knowing that he may have to go into battle with less power than he would have liked.

So, a while ago I got started on a Hades/Darksiders crossover fanfic. I got two chapters out and then it went on hiatus essentially. Lately, I have been itching to get back to, so I got started on chapter three. Here's the beginning parts of chapter three of Hades Hath No Fury...

"Augh, damn it!" Said Zagreus.

So close, yet still so far. Having lost to the Rider of the Black Horse once again, Zagreus pulled himself out of the House’s pool of Styx water. Cracking his neck and catching up with Megaera and Thanatos, the prince would go for another run through the Underworld. He felt that this time he could defeat Fury, he had succeeded in beating her but she had also succeeded in killing him. Jumping out of the courtyard/balcony window and down to his father’s doorstep, the prince met his first Olympian for this run, Ares.

“Hello, my kin. It has been a while since I last saw you here. Making it to the surface well enough, I presume. ” Ares spoke, his last line almost like a question.

“Not lately. Fury is still in my way.” Zagreus said out loud, more to himself since he presumed Ares could not hear him. What he had not noticed was a small raising of Ares’ eyebrow, as if he was baffled by that battered state of Zagreus’ body.

Closing his eyes and taking a boon, Zagreus felt a surge of Ares’ power flow through him, a lust for battle rolling through quickly before settling. Dashing forward, he struck the shade, a sword of crimson energy quickly appearing before stabbing downward. Doing the same to the other nearby shade, the ever-dying god would be let through to the next room of Tartarus. Forward and up he went, grabbing another boon or two from Artemis, Athena, and Aphrodite.

“Don’t be afraid to give a big shout when you call.” Said Artemis, her voice tinged with… something.

“Sometimes a good defense is the best offense.” Said Athena sagely and emotionless.

“Tell her that Aphrodite sends her regards.” Ominously spoke the Goddess of Love, as if she had a bone to pick with someone.

Zagreus wondered what was up with all of them. They looked after him, may even be a bit more than just family to him, but there was something else. Something for him to wonder more about after his next duel with the Wielder of Scorn.

Stepping inside the “arena,” Zagreus saw Fury stretching before turning around as the door thudded shut. Both once again had a staring contest before charging at each other. Fury jumped with her whip at the ready, lashing out with it as Zagreus dashed, the boon he got from Athena activating and sending the hit right back at the Rider of the Black Horse. The Horsewoman grunted in pain before turning quickly and getting a good lash in at Zagreus as he stood. In pain yet not ready to give up just yet, he started going on the offensive. Back and forth they traded blows, the two ending up with many wounds from the attacks. Zagreus had even called upon Artemis for help, yet all it did was leave the Horsewoman more angry. 

Panting and barely holding themselves up, both combatants ran forward, Zagreus dashing at the last second to activate Athena’s boon, only for Fury to dodge backwards as he did so. She aimed to counterattack, only for Zagreus to dash again and cast his boon from Aphrodite, leaving the Nephilim weak for but a second. Long enough for Zagreus to deal the final blow.

... And there we go! Hope you enjoyed this couple paragraphs of what I wrote! I got a couple more things to write for this and then chapter three will be up where I posted the fic. I'll probably self-reblog the post I made that links to the actual fic.

Did some writing for fun of a Darksiders fic! I've had this idea for a while, since it's fun to think about what else beyond Human, Angel, Demon, and Nephilim could exist in the Darksiders universe.

Within Creation there are many species known for their trickery, for it is a constant, whether selfish or selfless. The Fae are one of those known for the former. Less often for personal gain and more for their amusement. For that amusement, many Faeries’ favorite target is Humanity. A fact that the Charred Council has become quite aware of.

Across the cosmos, a call is sounded. Silent to many, loud and clear to the four it beacons! The four it calls? The Horsemen. Fury. Strife. War. Death. Enforcers of the Council, enforcers of Balance.

“Wonder what kind of mission would need all four of us.” states Strife.

“Probably a number of Demons attempting to corrupt parts of Creation.” replies War

“Or maybe some rogue angels looking to “bring Order” once again. For all the good it will do.” adds Fury.

“Maybe you will get your answers if you decide to listen!” roared a voice, coming from one of the stone heads that physically represents the Council.

“Now that we have your attention. There is a group of Faeries that have been a particular nuisance. Going around the universe, tricking many, too many. Now they play with Humanity.” added a second Council voice.

“Find them. And deal with them how you figure best.” Said the third face of the Charred Council.

Given their mission, the Horsemen set out to the realm where Fae will commonly be found. Discovering their targets to be relaxing at a bar within a small town, the Horsemen prepared for an encounter with pompous charlatans.

A brawl would break out, magic and weapons flying and clashing. The Horsemen had the edge over the Fae in magical and physical power. One thing that the Fae did have though is their wits, and with those wits, they could use their words to reason with and boggle the minds of the Horsemen.

“We will leave Humanity alone, stick to ourselves, even return what isn't ours!” proclaimed the Fae groups’ leader, Ikol.

“Really? We’ve been informed of your group in particular. What you say is only as true as you wish to make it.” Death replied “We’ll need something more substantial than just your words.”

“Of course!” Ikol said “A contract. Now let’s get down to business.”

A long discussion was had, tricky wording was used, phrases and terms that threw the Horsemen for a loop were said. And at the end of it all, as the contract was made, Ikol and his compatriots would find it’s not always hard to outwit and trick the most feared beings in Creation.

“Alright, hand over what isn’t yours, and see yourself off.” said Death, going through the motions.

“Yes, and same to you, Horsemen! Farewell! Oh, and you’re invited to the celebration, wear something nice.”

What Ikol had said left the Horsemen baffled, what celebration and why? The brothers figured it was probably the Fae speaking out of fear and wanting to get on their good side. Thinking not much else of it, they set off.

“So, you ever noticed that those losers were eyeing up Fury? Not shaming them or anything, but I don’t think they’d exactly love her bubbly personality.” joked Strife.

“Where is Fury?” inquired War

“What do you mean “Where is Fury?” She and Rampage aren’t alongside us?”

“No. They are not.”

That caused the brothers to stop in their tracks. Their sister isn't with them? Where is she then? She could not have gotten lost, she’s not one to stray or get sidetracked. Deciding to double back, they hoped that Fury had gotten a bit drunk and not noticed her brothers had left. Upon arriving, they would see that they're adversaries had already left, and there would be no Fury in sight either.

NOTES: I did this a loooooooong while ago. It's something I still need to finish fully. I doubt i'll post the full thing anytime soon, gotten look through my drive and see if I got any ideas to hopefully finish it. Anyways, hope you all enjoyed this.

So... lately I sorta, kinda gained some interest in the Shin Megami Tensei series after watching a livestream playthrough of SMT 3 Nocturne. It was fun being there to watch and interact when I could. The playthrough featured the ability to recruit Dante from the Devil May Cry series, so it kinda got me thinking of other crossovers.

First up is the idea of Darksiders crossover: Darksiders' Four Horsemen could arguably fit pretty well, considering SMT has its own version of the Four. Also, it would be pretty cool if we could see how Death, War, Fury, and Strife could work in an RPG setting.

Next up, Hades: Zagreus and company would be so interesting to see crossover. Maybe Zag could be someone like Demi-Fiend, where he's got both human and non-human parts to him and thus is a strange mix.

Curse of the Dead Gods: Imagine someone like the Demi-Fiend or Nahobino just encountering Caradog McCallister. The old guy already has his hands full in the temple, so imagine him making out and finding out the world went to shit or something and just deciding to wander because of that. He could probably be a real interesting optional boss fight.

Overall, I think I had fun with some of these ideas. You think the crossovers could work or nah? Got any other ideas for crossovers?

If there was one thing unique about this end of the world, it would be the appearance of the many gods and monsters, the many angels and demons. Death figured that someone, somewhere freed them all from the Battleground of the Gods. Either that or there was just something different now when it came to the end of the world.

Wandering the jungles of Earth, Death had come upon an ancient temple, one that he had not seen in many, many years. The Temple of Wonder and Pain.

The door had been opened, which meant two things: someone got in, or something got out. Death was more than willing to investigate by himself when he happened upon someone else inside. Someone who looked human but had the aura of a demon. The Demi-Fiend. What could the Demon of Darkness want with the Temple of Wonder and Pain?

Standing back and watching the Demi-Fiend, the Pale Rider would keep an eye on him. If he had to step in, he would, but for now it did not hurt to watch.

The Demi-Fiend had come to this temple looking for someone. Someone who had power that could help in his war against the Great Will. Humanity needed to gain its power to fight the forces of Order and Chaos, whether it be through their own power or by taking it from the gods and monsters of the world would be up to each individual.

Individuals such as Caradog McCallister. The Champion of the Dead. Caradog acted as protector of Xbeltz'aloc, as warden of the Gods of Wonder. Opening the door to the temple, Demi-Fiend stepped inside, ready for the hell that would come.

Caradog had not had a big challenge in some time, the fights with the Champions of the Gods of Wonder had grown stale, so when he felt a breeze pass through the halls, he knew that someone had found the temple and that got him a bit excited. Just maybe the type of challenge he's been looking for.

NOTES: This was kinda fun to write. I like testing myself, I guess, with writing something short like this. I had the idea sometime after writing up my previous post about how it would be cool to see other crossovers into SMT. Hope you all enjoyed this!

Occasionally, I still think about how some of the Darksiders characters could work in a MOBA like LoL or SMITE. It's sort of a fun thought experiment. A couple posts ago I went over how I guessed the Horsemen could work, now let's try some of the other characters. Considering these are non-playable characters, I'll use what I can from the Darksiders games as a bit of a basis while also taking some inspiration from the move-sets of characters in MOBAs.

First, a slight addendum to a previous post about the topic. Death’s three abilities could be Teleport Slash, his summoning ghouls, and Dust acting as a sort of "scout" similar to Ashe's Hawkshot in League while his Ultimate is his Reaper Form. Fury's three abilities could be a dash, her one Hollowless Wrath attack in Ds3, an ability to pull an enemy towards you while her Ultimate would he her Havoc Form.

SAMAEL: Using his boss fight from Ds2 as a bit of inspiration, he would have lightning and fire as part of his kit. His first ability could be fire related, being something like summoning a pillar of flame in a specific area while his second ability could maybe be a skillshot of throwing a bolt of lightning which has a chance of stunning an enemy. His third ability could be based off of when he summons the huge balls of plasma during his boss fight, the ones Death has to dodge. Finally, his Ultimate could be something like him forming an aura of lightning and fire to boost his attacks. So I guess he's got bits of Aatrox, Brand, and Kennen as inspiration?

URIEL: Using he boss fight from Ds1 as a bit of inspiration, alongside that of Kayle from LoL. She has one ability where she launch a blade of energy at the enemies, another ability where she summons down a sword or two, while another is a dash attack or tempory shield that could grant invulnerability, and her Ultimate is... I don't know at the moment. I'm sorry.

The ARCHON: He could maybe like a weird mix of Kayne and Lux. Abilities based around both his Angelic nature and the Corruption infecting him, with his Ultimate being a huge beam attack from the Rod of Arafel. I'm sorry I can't think of how to go in depth compared to others.

The DESTROYER: His Ultimate is kinda easy. Make it turning into his huge dragon form. His overall move-set could be a bit like Shyvana's? Oh, or maybe his overall move-set could take a tiny bit of inspiration from both Deathwing and Diablo in Heroes of the Storm! That could maybe work?

Anyways! Hope you all enjoyed this! If you got any input, that's cool! I would love to hear from people what ideas they got!

Fighting through the Temple of Wonder and Pain was harder than the Demi-Fiend thought. The monsters that called this place home were some of the toughest he's come across in a while, but he's made it to the final chamber. The chamber where the final challenge stood. The Champion of Xbeltz'aloc. Caradog McCallister.

Caradog had fought through this temple, defeated all the monsters needed, had chosen to step up and help keep the Gods of Wonder imprisoned. Now the True Demon stood before him. Looking to get his help in taking down the Great Will. First the Demi-Fiend would have to prove himself.

Outside the temple stood Death. He had attempted going in after the Demi-Fiend, only to be stopped by the door slamming shut in front of him. No amount of physical or magical might would let him open the damn thing. It was frustrating for the Pale Rider to say the least. He had no doubt the Demi-Fiend could handle himself against whatever lay inside the temple, but that boy was still young, and even if he has the title of True Demon, he hoped that boy still had some tiny sliver of humanity.

It was a battle to the end. Shockwaves flew as they clashed. The True Demon versus Champion of Xbeltz'aloc. Only one could win. Unfortunately for the Demi-Fiend, despite his triumph, he could not convince Caradog. The man has given up his life outside to keep the Gods of Wonder imprisoned, and unless they are no longer exist, there is little to no chance of the old man leaving. He would allow the Demi-Fiend to leave however.

Stepping outside into the world, the source of light had dimmed, now the stillness of night very apparent. Death had since left. Walking down the steps, the True Demon thought to himself. Thought about where to go next with his plans to take down the Great Will.

Woo! New Darksiders teaser! Who else is super excited? Hope we get more news within the next couple months.

Anyways! Wanted to share another Darksiders crossover idea! Or, more like return to one particular crossover idea. The Darkness.

Oh, how interesting it would be if all the Horsemen could encounter good ol' Jackie Estacado. Strife I can imagine would probably try befriending Jackie. Fury would probably wonder what was so special about this human. War and Death would probably be cautious, just in their own ways.

Jackie however, would immediately be suspicious and on guard. Four people that he can immediately tell are of some kind of non-human nature, now taking an interest in the weird activity of New York City. He's especially suspicious once The Darkness starts cackling in his head about the chaos that will be wrought soon enough. He knows that once that thing starts going, there's a high chance that whatever it's talking about is no good.

I can imagine that maybe the Horsemen are on Earth for once, just enjoying what it's like in a modern city, and that once night falls and Jackie starts doing what he does best, that's also when the Horsemen start taking notice of The Darkness, as I like to imagine that's they may have a sort of sixth sense for things of a magical nature. Imagine if the other Artifacts, like say The Angelus, The Witchblade, The Rapture or the Spear of Destiny get brought into the equation, and the batshit insanity that may just erupt.

Oooo! Just had a neat idea for this. Imagine if like how the Spear of Destiny is... enchanted, I guess, by the blood of Jesus, imagine if in this crossover The Rapture is a portion of the Charred Council, just sort of chipped off or something. Or maybe if having the Witchblade get involved, with the Artifact being of both order and chaos, of both Light and Dark, it could be seen as like a proto‐Nephilim of sorts?

I really gotta get back to reading more of volume one of The Darkness, as it may help me get some ideas of writing something beyond just basic ideas for this crossover.

So... once again thinking about the Darksiders characters if they were implemented into a MOBA. Sorry if this is a tired idea to anybody. It's just, with playing Wild Rift, it gets me thinking, and Darksiders is one of my favorite video game series, so sometimes thoughts just form together.

I was thinking about passives and got an idea while trying out Tryndamere. Maybe for the Horsemen, just like how Tryndamere generates "Fury," the Horsemen generate "Wrath." I don't think it's a bad idea, considering in the Darksiders games "Wrath" can be generated when in combat just like "Fury" is for Tryndamere.

Tryndamere isn't the only one with "Fury" in LoL either. Renekton and Shyvana also do use "Fury," just in different ways to Tryndamere. So, maybe "Wrath" is generated differently for each Horseman. Using the Rider of the Black Horse as an example, Fury could say generate "Wrath" in a similar way to Shyvana, where her abilities are based on how long they cool down and her "Wrath" is what is used for her Ultimate. Meanwhile, War and Death could take inspiration from Renekton and Tryndamere. War could generate "Wrath" and for his next basic ability will get an empowered effect once enough is stored, while Death when generating "Wrath," depending on the amount, could get a higher chance for a critical strike. Now, that just leaves Strife. He's a bit harder to figure out. His "Wrath" would be generated in combat just like the other Horsemen, but what extra effect could it have, if needed? I'm stumped. Oh, or maybe Strife is the one with "Wrath" related to his Ultimate while Fury share "Wrath" use similar to War or Death.

Now, what of other Darksiders characters? Would they use "Wrath?" I think that could depend. As part of a hypothetical passive in a MOBA, maybe it could work, while others I could see as having a Mana bar like Ekko, or an Energy bar like Akali. Depends on their personality, I guess. Or some could just be baseline Manaless, all their abilities being a bit more based on cool downs.

Someone like Absalom would probably also have "Wrath," while someone like Azrael would probably have Mana. Don't know what characters could use Energy though, not many feel like they have abilities built around doinf things quickly like Kennen, Akali, Shen, or Zed. Funny idea I just had while typing this is maybe The Hunter from Darksiders 2 having Ferocity, just like Rengar... I'm joking! That could probably fit Samael? Ulthane's abilities I could see being purely based on cool downs.

Speaking of Ulthane, what could his passive and abilities be? I think his passive could be a Living Forge type of deal similar to Ornn from League, where he can forge his own items on the battlefield instead of always having to return to base, and at least one of his abilities has to be throwing his hammer, while another could be a type of charge/dash, while maybe another could be something like throwing a powerful enough haymaker it sends out a shockwave, and I have no idea at the moment what his Ultimate could be. Now, some may be asking, "Why a powerful haymaker that can create shockwaves?" Simple enough answer. Considering War needed the Tremor Gauntlet to open heavy doors and lift Ulthane's hammer in Darksiders 1, a Gauntlet that can allow War to create shockwaves on the ground with a certain move, who's to say Ulthane can't be strong enough to do something similar? Or maybe it could be a Thunderclap, similar to what the Incredible Hulk can do?

Anyways, this is feeling like it's getting a bit long, and I am up bit late as I am writing this, so I will return to this later and try coming up with more ideas at some point. Hope you all enjoyed this and hey, if you got ideas you wish to add, that's cool.

So... still thinking of Darksiders/League of Legends crossovers, and one thing that could be cool to see? War fighting Aatrox. Just imagine it! The Red Rider versus The Darkin Blade! A battle for the ages! Some of the biggest and baddest of their universes likely quake in fear once one of them show up!

Could War be the one to not only destroy the Darkin Blade, but finally put Aatrox to rest? Or would Aatrox come out on top with War as a new, powerful vessel for his plan to end the world?

I could potentially see it going either way. I am entirely unsure which would come out on top in more scenarios. Both are functionally immortal, with the power to potentially end worlds when at their strongest.

Hmmm. The brighter side of my mind makes me want War to potentially win this, at least so that the Darkin Blade himself can hopefully finally die. Aatrox only wishes to end the world because he's a broken man who is unkillable, all in the hopes that by ending everything that it would include his own end. Maybe War could give Aatrox that finality he so wishes for?

So... continuing off of this, I'm thinking of Fury's MOBA moveset again, as well some of the other characters I've talked about before, and I think I would change up some things.

FURY: Her Ultimate would stay the same, it being her transforming into Havoc Form. I would have it use her "Wrath" for the transformation, since I think her Ultimate working a bit like Shyvana's makes sense. It maybe could also do what it does in Darksiders 3 and heal her once active, sort of like Dr. Mundo's Ultimate. I also got the idea of taking some inspiration from Bellona in SMITE for two of her abilities, where it could be that her weapon, Scorn, changes form and does extra physical or magic damage depending. I'm thinking a an ax for a close-range ability and a spear for a long-range ability, with her third ability being a dash. I know all the Horsemen essentially have a dash in their games, but Fury's feels the most built around the it since it's also the dodge.

DEATH: His Ultimate would stay the same, along with basically making him unkillable, but not immune to Crowd Control. Essentially a variation on Tryndamere's Ultimate. I would keep Teleport Slash and using Dust to scout similar to Ashe's Hawkshot, and maybe the Ghouls he summons. I'm still somewhat on the fence about those.

WAR: His moveset would stay the same from a previous post: Blade Geyser, Stoneskin, Rampage for basic abilities, and Chaos Form for Ultimate. For sake of hypothetical game balance, maybe War's Chaos Form is immune to CC but he could still take damage? Either that or Chaos Form is Unstoppable and Invincible but has the shortest time for the transformation.

STRIFE: His moveset would stay the same from a previous post as well: Shadow Clones, Caltrops, World Ender for basic abilities and Anarchy Form for Ultimate. Maybe like War, Anarchy Form is immune to CC but not unkillable. It makes the more sense to me for Strife to be immune to CC but not unkillable when in Anarchy Form.

SAMAEL: So, I could keep most of his moveset I came up with in another post mostly the same: pillar of flame, lightning skillshot, plasma orbs, and aura. Or we could change it up a small bit and have it that one of his abilities is basically a form a lifesteal. Where by damaging an enemy he can regain some of his own. Explain it as him stealing blood from wounded enemies as a way to heal himself. For a Passive, I think something like Darius' Hemorrhage, where his abilities stack a bleeding effect

URIEL: Her basic abilities could be a dash attack, a temporary but stationary shield, and a form of projectile. Overall, a basic kit but it feels fitting for Uriel. Her Ultimate could basically be her summoning pulling out the Armageddon Blade for basically a Super Form, maybe taking inspiration from Riven. I think her Passive could be like Athena's Reach in SMITE.

The ARCHON: His passive could be about his Corruption. It could be like Kayle's Passive but instead of becoming more divine, he becomes more monstrous. I think you could take inspiration from his boss fight for his basic abilities while his Ultimate could be a huge beam from the Rod Arafel.

The DESTROYER: I think overall, just taking some inspiration from Deathwing in Heroes of the Storm would not he a bad idea, along with maybe Shyvana. His Passive would let him be Unstoppable, with his basic abilities being a charge/dash, a powerful swipe with some knockback potential, flame breath, and his Ultimate being essentially like Pantheon's where he can fly in from say half-a-map away and land in for the battle.

ULTHANE: Figured I'd repeat this: basic abilities are a hammer throw, a charge/dash, a Thunderclap, and his Ultimate... I'm still unsure. His Passive could basically be like a mix of Ornn and Braum, where he can forge things while away from base but also every couple attcks he could temporarily stun an enemy.

WICKED K: I think he could take some inspiration from Fiora and/or Jax, in terms of basic abilities. He could have a stance where he parries enemy abilities, a special empowered strike, and I guess for the fun of it, an ability where he can throw his hat for damage. His Ultimate could basically be a powered up state where there is a chance he can do True Damage.

That's all I got for now. Hope you all enjoyed reading this! I also wouldn't mind hearing anybody else's ideas if they got any.

So... once again thinking about the Darksiders characters if they were implemented into a MOBA. Sorry if this is a tired idea to anybody. It's just, with playing Wild Rift, it gets me thinking, and Darksiders is one of my favorite video game series, so sometimes thoughts just form together.

Tryndamere isn't the only one with "Fury" in LoL either. Renekton and Shyvana also do use "Fury," just in different ways to Tryndamere. So, maybe "Wrath" is generated differently for each Horseman. Using the Rider of the Black Horse as an example, Fury could say generate "Wrath" in a similar way to Shyvana, where her abilities are based on how long they cool down and her "Wrath" is what is used for her Ultimate. Meanwhile, War and Death could take inspiration from Renekton and Tryndamere. War could generate "Wrath" and for his next basic ability will get an empowered effect once enough is stored, while Death when generating "Wrath," depending on the amount, could get a higher chance for a critical strike. Now, that just leaves Strife. He's a bit harder to figure out. His "Wrath" would be generated in combat just like the other Horsemen, but what extra effect could it have, if needed? I'm stumped. Oh, or maybe Strife is the one with "Wrath" related to his Ultimate while Fury share "Wrath" use similar to War or Death.

Now, what of other Darksiders characters? Would they use "Wrath?" I think that could depend. As part of a hypothetical passive in a MOBA, maybe it could work, while others I could see as having a Mana bar like Ekko, or an Energy bar like Akali. Depends on their personality, I guess. Or some could just be baseline Manaless, all their abilities being a bit more based on cool downs.

Someone like Absalom would probably also have "Wrath," while someone like Azrael would probably have Mana. Don't know what characters could use Energy though, not many feel like they have abilities built around doinf things quickly like Kennen, Akali, Shen, or Zed. Funny idea I just had while typing this is maybe The Hunter from Darksiders 2 having Ferocity, just like Rengar... I'm joking! That could probably fit Samael? Ulthane's abilities I could see being purely based on cool downs.

Speaking of Ulthane, what could his passive and abilities be? I think his passive could be a Living Forge type of deal similar to Ornn from League, where he can forge his own items on the battlefield instead of always having to return to base, and at least one of his abilities has to be throwing his hammer, while another could be a type of charge/dash, while maybe another could be something like throwing a powerful enough haymaker it sends out a shockwave, and I have no idea at the moment what his Ultimate could be. Now, some may be asking, "Why a powerful haymaker that can create shockwaves?" Simple enough answer. Considering War needed the Tremor Gauntlet to open heavy doors and lift Ulthane's hammer in Darksiders 1, a Gauntlet that can allow War to create shockwaves on the ground with a certain move, who's to say Ulthane can't be strong enough to do something similar? Or maybe it could be a Thunderclap, similar to what the Incredible Hulk can do?

Anyways, this is feeling like it's getting a bit long, and I am up bit late as I am writing this, so I will return to this later and try coming up with more ideas at some point. Hope you all enjoyed this and hey, if you got ideas you wish to add, that's cool.

So... neat idea I had for another Darksiders/League of Legends crossover. The Pale Rider ending up in Ionia, maybe in search of what is rumored to be a Grand Abomination, only to run into Kayn and Rhaast. From what I remember, the Grand Abominations are sort of like the Darkin, once living beings turned into weapons, the souls trapped and angry. Only difference is that according to Darksiders lore, Mortis, once picked up by Death in Darksiders 2, does not have the same power it once did, the soul in it weaker or something.

These things almost look like a Darkin weapon, just got slap a bit more red and black on it.

One idea for when Death meets Kayn and Rhaast is that the Pale Rider, after finding out that it's not a Grand Abomination on Runeterra, is that he attempts to help the two, somehow.

Or one idea is that he attempts to purge Rhaast's influence from Kayn. Or that he attempts to take the Darkin Scythe. If going with the latter, I doubt if Rhaast is not strong enough to immediately take over Kayn's body that he could ever take over Death’s body.

Just had this crazy thought. Kayn somehow learning just enough about some kind of soul-based magic, maybe after seeing Death use Soul-Splittter on himself, that he replicates it, only for the Rhaast to essentially get his own body while Kayn gets the other. Imagine if Ionia had both these two, the Darkin and the Shadow Assassin, running around. Maybe they wouldn't just be a terror to Ionia, but maybe all of Runeterra.

Maybe at the end of this, when Kayn and Rhaast reform together, Death erases the knowledge of Soul-Splitter from their mind, somehow.

So... continuing this again. I want to talk about Absalom, the Seven Deadly Sins, Azrael, and maybe some others.

I'm expecting to have trouble with all of these, especially some of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Sins I imagine could vary between Manaless or using resources, more likely to former than the latter. Also, I'm still getting to used to Passives, so not everyone will have one right away.

ABSALOM: He would use "Wrath" like the Horsemen, his fellow Nephilim. His abilities would take some inspiration from his boss fight. His three abilities would be swinging his ax around him in a circular motion, Rooting someone in place temporarily, and for his third ability, I'm thinking maybe a dash. His Ultimate would work similar to Nasus and/or Renekton, increasing his size and health for the duration, while his Passive be where his attacks would stack an effect, in this case Corruption, allowing additional damage.

WRATH: Manaless. His Passive would be that the longer he fights, the stronger he gets, up to a point of course. His three abilities would the combined form of his weird weapon, which looks like a mix of an ax and a sword, a buff to his next attack, and a pound on the ground, where in a small radius, he creates a shockwave that damages enemies. His Ultimate could pretty much be the same as Sion's, a charge where he is Unstoppable until hits a wall or an enemy. Or maybe swap the third and Ultimate, just make the third a smaller dash, maybe something akin to Ornn's.

AVARICE: Mana. His passive would be like Fafnir's from SMITE, where he can gain a set amount of bonus gold from minions, structures, kills, assists, and hitting hitting an enemy god with an ability. Overall, I think Fafnir's moveset works well for the Sin himself. So, a thrown projectile, a buff to his attack speed that also minorly heals him, and a leap that damages and disarm enemies. Only difference? Avarice would not turn into a dragon, his Ultimate would be different... I'm just a bit unsure of what it would be at the moment.

SLOTH: Manaless. Being Sloth, he would have minions to do most of his basic attacks, while his abilities would be something he has to do. Considering he doesn't do a whole lot in his boss fight, I gotta get a bit creative. I'm thinking a powerful swing of his staff that can knockback enemies, I'm thinking making Exhaust ans ability of his, as well as a minion doing special attack. His Ultimate would see him get of his "throne," empowering his basic attacks and causing nearby enemies to slow. Once over however, he would be exhausted, with maybe an extra bit of defense so that he's not completely out of the game.

LUST: I'm unsure, Mana or Manaless. They would take some inspiration from Wukong of all characters. An ability that empowers their attacks, a clone/stealth combo ability, and what I call a lock-on dash. Lust's Ultimate however would be something like Charm or Renata Glasc's Hostile Takeover, where the enemy is non-hostile to you but has a chance of attacking their allies.

GLUTTONY: Manaless. Compared to the other Sins, he's relatively easy to come up with moveset for. Spitting out a bit of slime that can slow enemies, a long-ranged rake of his claws, and a vacuum pull, all while his Ultimate would see him transform essentially into Kraken, gaining extra health at the very least. I'm unsure of how to make his passive currently.

PRIDE: Mana. Her overall moveset would take some inspiration from Leona, such as the ability to stun an enemy and shield herself, just without the ability to pull herself to an enemy, instead with the ability to heal herself, similar to one of Tryndamere's abilities. Her Ultimate would be a bit like a short duration laser, with a pretty long cooldown.

ENVY: Mana. Being Envy, her abilities would be copies of the others. Considering Envy is especially jealous of the Horsemen, except Fury, she would have one ability similar to theirs. So, she would have Teleport Slash, Stoneskin, and World Ender, with her Ultimate being copying anybody else's. Think Sylas' Ultimate.

AZRAEL: He would be a bit more support oriented than most others I have come up with. So, at least one long-ranged offensive ability, a zone that slows enemies, a shield that blocks Crowd Control, with his Ultimate being a powerful heal for himself and nearby allies. Maybe it could be global like Soraka's Ultimate, but I don’t just want to copy everything from League of Legends or SMITE.

So... once again thinking about the Darksiders characters if they were implemented into a MOBA. Sorry if this is a tired idea to anybody. It's just, with playing Wild Rift, it gets me thinking, and Darksiders is one of my favorite video game series, so sometimes thoughts just form together.

I was thinking about passives and got an idea while trying out Tryndamere. Maybe for the Horsemen, just like how Tryndamere generates "Fury," the Horsemen generate "Wrath." I don't think it's a bad idea, considering in the Darksiders games "Wrath" can be generated when in combat just like "Fury" is for Tryndamere.

Tryndamere isn't the only one with "Fury" in LoL either. Renekton and Shyvana also do use "Fury," just in different ways to Tryndamere. So, maybe "Wrath" is generated differently for each Horseman. Using the Rider of the Black Horse as an example, Fury could say generate "Wrath" in a similar way to Shyvana, where her abilities are based on how long they cool down and her "Wrath" is what is used for her Ultimate. Meanwhile, War and Death could take inspiration from Renekton and Tryndamere. War could generate "Wrath" and for his next basic ability will get an empowered effect once enough is stored, while Death when generating "Wrath," depending on the amount, could get a higher chance for a critical strike. Now, that just leaves Strife. He's a bit harder to figure out. His "Wrath" would be generated in combat just like the other Horsemen, but what extra effect could it have, if needed? I'm stumped. Oh, or maybe Strife is the one with "Wrath" related to his Ultimate while Fury share "Wrath" use similar to War or Death.

Now, what of other Darksiders characters? Would they use "Wrath?" I think that could depend. As part of a hypothetical passive in a MOBA, maybe it could work, while others I could see as having a Mana bar like Ekko, or an Energy bar like Akali. Depends on their personality, I guess. Or some could just be baseline Manaless, all their abilities being a bit more based on cool downs.

TW: Grooming, mentions of NSFW content, mentions of s/h & sV!c!de

The tags are the fandoms he’s most active in so please be cautious, everyone

Okay, I was initially planning on waiting until I had taken screenshots of my own to talk about this, but I then realized I can make a separate post, this is serious and has gone on long enough so it’s time I mentioned it. However, before I do, this is not some big creator, I realize that, but they are a /very/ active user and though I only have screenshots from one victim and soon my own screenshots, there are at least five, possibly six, more that I know of, but I am no longer in contact with most of those people and I don’t want to go asking people to unblock someone like this. If they want to come out about this, that’s their choice, not mine. And, yes, you read that right. Five others.

This post is about @Mauroisthattired on Pinterest or @joshuakidd on here.

Because I know you’ll see this, hi, Josh, don’t even think about sending people my age and younger to beg me to take this down and forgive you again, you did these things, you are aware you did these things, now here are the consequences. And because I know you will, don’t you DARE hang your life over my or my friend’s head for this either, you have done that 100 times already and I do not have the energy to deal with it anymore. I may not have a big platform, but if you have publicly interacted with this person or know someone who has, please listen.

First, Joshua is not almost eighteen, he turned eighteen in March. I never wanted to mention my age on here, but it’s not like I’m posting p0/n so idc anymore, I kind of have to:

In late September, after I had newly turned fourteen, is when Josh reached out to me on my rp account on Pinterest, I hadn’t been active on there in awhile but I thought “what the heck, I need someone to talk to” so I agreed to role play with them. Josh was 17 at the time. Obviously, it was idiotic to have a rp account in the first place, but I’m aware of all the things I’ve done wrong so I won’t be focusing on that, that’s not why you’re reading this. I had admitted to him that I wasn’t online a lot so I sent him my main account, and god do I regret it.

It only took a few weeks for Josh to start overstepped boundaries, I had acknowledged that s/h is deeply upsetting to me so we wouldn’t get it involved in role plays, but he did. Not only that, but he would vent a lot and that would always end with me having to convince him not to harm himself. I will say, he was unaware of my age when this first started happening, but that isn’t that important because he didn’t give a shit. Very quickly it turned into I couldn’t not reply for a certain amount of time or else I would get berated by Josh or he would threaten to hurt himself. He’d always claim it was because I left him on seen even if I hadn’t been there to open the message in question at all. Whenever someone blocked him, he’d send their account to me in a “you know what to do” fashion, I never asked people to unblock him, but sometimes I’d block or unfollow them because I was afraid he’d check and go ballistic if I hadn’t.

At a certain point, he started begging me to add him to a group chat with my friends, always because he “needed more friends,” I never did because it didn’t work, but that didn’t stop him from reaching out. He’d spammed one of my friend’s comment sections asking them to chat with him until they gave in. Once they had he’d vent to them nonstop, send them NSFW art (never his), and once pressured him to send him pictures of his face despite his wishes. This friend is younger than me and was 13 at the time.

After he had ‘befriended’ my close friend, Jay, is when he got brave enough to start sending me NSFW, he would send me it to make fun of or just mid conversation without saying anything else. He never did straight up smut role plays, but he’d convince me to do suggestive ones where the s*x scene was always skipped (but still held the before all the way up until getting fully undressed and the direct after, not even the next morning), because he “refused to do suggestive role plays with anyone under eighteen” I never questioned it. At one point Josh threatened to end our friendship when I was disturbed that he was going to have a character attempt so it scared me out of asking not to do a certain scene, but ofc, he could tell me to stop because something was upsetting him whenever he wanted

Eventually there was the incident, my friend and I were taking a break from Josh and he didn’t respect it so I blocked Josh for the first time, while Jay was too scared to. Josh went mental. He screamed at my friend until I unblocked him to defuse things and had to explain to him what he was doing wrong, at the time the NSFW being weird hadn’t crossed my mind so I didn’t bring it up. He apologized, I tried to get him to understand, understand what he’d done wrong but the apology of “it’ll never happen again” was all I got either way. Around this time is when I had admitted my age, a few weeks or a month prior I had meltdown about how I was too young for this while Josh was venting to me, of course, that meant nothing to him.

[These screenshots do not belong to me, they belong to my best friend, Jay, like I stated. There are more examples, months upon months upon months of examples, but he didn’t want to relive any more than this and I do not blame him for that. He doesn’t go by either of these names anymore] Jay mentioned that he had gotten uneasy during their conversation about MLP, that’s why it was added

These screenshots are from /after/ everything had gone down. Eventually, my friend had enough, especially after being so shaken by the situation, so a few weeks after Josh’s 18th birthday he blocked him. I successfully comforted Josh after that and things went back to the “normal” of before. However, whenever Joshua wanted to vent he would try to manipulate me into letting him by saying things along the lines of “oh, but someone my age shouldn’t be venting to fourteen year olds” and he’d manipulate the situation so instead of him sending me NSFW out of nowhere I’d be asking him to because he “found something.”

I think Jay’s words of “he talked to me like I was a fucking dog” sum everything up. He did more bullshit, but this is long enough and I still need to make a post with my own screenshots.

If you took the time to read this, thank you, I just want people to know how abusive this person is towards everyone, including people his age.

When I finally blocked him for good it was because I realized he shouldn’t have been sending me literal NSFW, it took he about a week after with the Colleen Ballinger situation to realize what he was actually doing so I’ve been planning to make this post for awhile and realized that I’ll never truly be ready so I need to just do it.

Once again, hi, Josh, you took 50 years off my life. Congrats.

I realized early on how abusive things were, but I thought that being someone’s therapist was all I’m good for so I never brought it up. Funny. Expect a lot of vent art in the future along with screenshots of what he’d said to me, I lost an entire school year to this fucker and this post was just me recalling the basic outline of what happened

Great news is that I love detectives that are inhuman in some fashion so Detective Burns has a new #1 fan

Thank you so much! I love that gif so much shavbajsbabajana

I know your love for detectives so I present to you a cross over!

I be a liar if I said that Necropolis wasn’t based off of Darkside Detective. Even just the colors in the city and the style of the text boxes are based off of it :)

Burns and McQueen would NOT get along though.

Please, tell me I am not the only one who sees that Resident Evil: Village has some similarities to Darksiders.

(SPOILER ALERT)

I was wrong. It turned out that Resident Evil: Village is actually a good game with an interesting plot and memorable characters (Alcina is our everything, and thanks God Chris is not a villain, I love him too much, lol). Also, I am not ruling out that Darksiders may use some ideas of some games that came out before as well. Nevertheless, I can’t help but notice the following similarities between RE8 and Darksiders: 1. In Darksiders, in order to get to the final boss, you have to kill his Chosen and collect 4 hearts. In RE8, in order to get to the final boss, you have to kill the Four Lords and collect 4 parts of Rose’s body. 2. Each of the Chosen has their own territory. Each of the Four Lords has their own territory. 3. In Darksiders, the first Chosen to fight is Tiamat – a huge dragon-like bat that lives in a cathedral. We fight her at the top of it. In RE8, the first Lord to fight is Alcina Dimitrescu. She lives in a castle, she can take the form of a huge dragon-like creature, and we fight her at the top of her castle.

4. After Tiamat’s death, the protagonist comes to the Griver. She has low intelligence and can’t speak. To defeat the Griever, we have to hit her 3 times. After Alcina’s death, the protagonist comes to Donna Beneviento. She has serious mental problems and speaks to us only through her dolls. To defeat Donna, we have to stab her 3 times. 5. The third Chosen – Stygian – is a giant demonic worm who is really feral. He can dive into the sand and jump out of it. The third Lord is Salvatore Moreau who can take the form of a huge monstrous fish and can’t control it. He has serious mental problems. He can dive into the water and jump out of it. 6. Silitha – the last Chosen whose heart we need – acts friendly at first. She tells the protagonist the truth about the hearts and tries to negotiate with him. Karl Heisenberg – the last Lord –  acts friendly at first. He tells the protagonist the truth about Rose and tries to negotiate with him. 7. The Destroyer – the final boss of Darksiders – can take the form of an angel. During the fight, he can raise three huge rocks and throw them at the protagonist. Mother Miranda – the final boss of RE8 –  can take the form of an angel. During the fight, she can create three huge fire balls and throw them at the protagonist. So... what was that, huh?

Я додель (ﾉ*°▽°)ﾉ

Получилось довольно неплохо. Возможно когда нибудь я еще что нибудь нарисую по Даркам.

I finished the drawing (ﾉ*°▽°)ﾉ

It turned out pretty well. Maybe someday I'll draw something else on the Darksiders.
