Redacted Kody - Tumblr Posts
the hc that things would b weird between freelancer and dear just because they’re a water elemental is so fucking weird to me??? no they wouldn’t. freelancers not a bigot 💀
they attend a school full of all different kinds of magic users. why the fuck would they act weird around water elementals just cuz one did them wrong?? kody is irredeemable and i would drown him myself if i could, but he’s not bad because he’s a water elemental, he’s a water elemental who happened to be a bad person.
traumas not an excuse to b hocus pocus racist
you guys ever can’t tell if you kin a character or need them more? damien’s been rotting my brain recently.
(excuse my projecting for a little) he’s aware of so much of the injustice in the magical world; and he’s passionate about it. but everyone keeps mistaking his passion for justice as anger. the world, the environment he’s in frightens him. the injustice he’s witnessed time and time again, towards the people he cares about the most is exhausting and frustrating. he burns with the desire to help all the people this magical society keeps pushing aside.
but all people will ever see is that he’s “angry”.
but that’s not all it is! he wants change. he wants to believe in something, he wants to believe in people, he wants to have some trust in the systems he’s under but because he wants it so badly he’s “aggressive”. he’s “hostile”. he’s “grumpy”. they even say he has a “bad attitude”.
nobody wants to work with him because he keeps getting “angry”.
so now he’s growing more and more isolated. he looks to his left and to his right and no one seems to care as much as he does. everyone at the top just sees him as some kind of number or statistic. his fellow numbers think he’s insane for caring so much.
but why does everyone care so little?? people are hurt?? people are being silenced, people are ignored, lives are being destroyed — at the worst of it people are dying. and no one is doing anything about it! is he really insane for wanting life to be easier for everyone when it literally has no reason to be this difficult??
is that not enough reason to be upset? doesn’t he have a right to be angry??
you know what fine. he can’t control how people feel right? nothing’s gained from sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself so he picks himself up and charges towards the society he aims for. he keeps his record spotless, he achieves everything he needs to, he breaks himself in half so that his friends, family, future generations will be a step closer to something easier. he can honour those before him who got him this far and pass the baton to those who come next.
then one watery fucking twink. with no aspirations. with his pessimistic, apathetic, nihilism, fucks up his pristine plans.
he can feel everything he put into this, crash and burn in his hands (at the hands of a water elemental no less). how could he have been so careless?? how did he let this slip?? he held everything together so well before and this guy ruined it without a second thought.
he didn’t care. he was willing to let everything go to ruin. he left everybody for themselves - he didn’t believe in any sort of community or empowerment, hell he probably had some hatred to all those people damien was trying so hard to fucking help. pretentious douchebag — kody thought he was better than everybody else.
so yes. he’s angry.
he hates the stereotypes. he hates the relentless teasing. he hates the whispers and the side eyes when the fire elemental shows even an ounce of irritation.
but he was finally giving in. he was finally falling right into the hands of what he wanted to avoid. to the injustice he frowned upon.
you happy now? yes, he is fucking angry. why the hell aren’t you?
(and scene)
(p.s i don’t know what possessed me to write all this out but fuck it, i had fun)
(p.p.s HIS PASSION IS SO SEXY I CANT TELL IF I WANT HIM OR WE’D BURST INTO FIREWORKS CUZ WE’RE SO SIMILAR)
I have no clue if someone already did this lmao
""are you lost, precious?""
That's some Quinn shit right there.
I wrote this in my discord server and then posted on twitter. Time to annoy here as well, HEEHOO!
Jax's Personality Swap AU!
DAMN PIPELINE: Kody > Huxley > Gavin > Damien > Lasko > Kody
NOTE: Since this is a personality swap, these characters are gonna be out of character, but Huxley will still remained as a supporting character, while Kody is still not (only personality change, not roles)! Typing this just to avoid confusion!
Damien > Lasko:
Tired Air Elemental:
- he is tired
- looks older than he actually is, its the wrinkles and white hair
- bro doesnt sleep
- not really mean, he just sounds really monotone and had the same expression
- "you all are idiots, why do i hang out with you"
- "you have 99/100. you can do it next time"
- he has trust issues and has hard time opening up
- he means well when you get to know him
- "i try to push you to your limits, because i believe you can surpass them... i'm sorry, i didnt mean to break your boundaries"
- still a dnd nerd but more of a dungeon master with ton of research for his homebrew campaign
——————
Gavin > Damien:
Daring Fire Elemental:
- more of a risk taker in a rebellious bad boy way? Outside of the academy
- night walks
- "are you lost, precious?"
- smiles all the time in a warm way
- "well, look at you, what a snack. are you cold? i can warm you up."
- very smart but doubts himself
- awkward with physical contact
- tries to be seen as overly attractive and an attention seeker to hide his emotional vulnerability
- he and his mom kinda argue so he left,,, whoops
- "arent you a doll, freelancer. heh... alright, we will hug. maybe even kiss?"
——————
Kody > Huxley:
Distant Earth Elemental:
- is not very friendly in the beginning
- trust issues! My favorite /j
- he can be a meanie :(
- "why do we keep bumping into each other?"
- freelancer does not give up
- "i can take care of myself, i am not that stupid" he sounded hurt...
- he misses his moms,,,
- he wants to fit in, but since people think he is stupid because he is an earth elemental, he decided to do the opposite and be alone by himself
- the only friend he had was Lasko but they fought they last time they saw each other
- "you actually like me, didnt you? what am i doing, why do i wanna hurt you so bad? im supposed to be your friend" - spinel from steven universe the movie
——————
Huxley > Gavin:
Oblivious Incubus:
- he is so lonely
- his only friend was Caelum, who is kinda a spoiled brat but nice only to Gav (slowly to FL)
- FL comes up
- "youre so pretty..."
- shit he said that out loud
- PANIC
- "ISAIDWELCOMEMYNAMEISGAVIN-"
- very friendly
- poor orientation skills. he has to walk with freelancer to get them to the academy
- loves physical touch
- gives fl a keychain for free!
- the keychain says big gulp. FL giggles
- "huh? Whats so funny?" ... "oh... Ohhh haha! Haha, i didnt even realize! Youre so smart"
——————
Lasko > Kody
Bashful Water Elemental:
- he is so innocent!
- he is trying to be helpful
- "a-are you okay?"
- freelancer says its okay
- "i struggle with my powers, i-im so sorry"
- kody is following them.... ok?
- kody, personal space pls
- he is trying to also help freelancer, since he knows the struggle of being useless
- kody is being very pushy...
- "well, in this book, it says that we should bridge if we want to maximize our potential in our elemental. w-what do you say?"
- kody is a creep again GOD DAMMIT!
the kid is like clinging to his leg and saying “da! :)” and he’s trying to kick it off like “i’ve literally never met this child.”
Kody is the type of guy who refuses to pay child support.
it’s been my hc for a while that close knit had something to do with the shade attack, and while we’re at it, kody definitely is a part of the cult. the way he tried purposely to get people killed during the inversion, like..it’s shady. no pun intended.
contrary to popular belief, i believe kody is conventionally attractive. he takes care of himself visually so he looks well, contradictory to his personality.
he has good hygiene and everything, so the average person who meets him won’t think his true self is what it is.
he’s one of the types of people who you just feel weird about though. sometimes you feel a certain vibe, but you move on. damien felt that vibe and just knew something was off.
so did freelancer, but they always want to give people the benefit of the doubt. they’re always right about their instincts too, that’s the sad thing. but because of who they are, they can’t bring themselves to judge people.
—-
it’s one of the reasons why he was so upset about his “image” being ruined. no one would’ve thought he was that kind of person.
“there’s no nickname for the listener yet </3”
yes, and it definitely is not because lasko is gonna pop out with the “raincloud” nickname at the friendsgiving dinner 🙏🏾
Our beloved Redacted cast as sodas I drink regularly (and sodas I loathe with my entire existence) in order of how much I like said drink:
Darlin - Coke. No debate.
Damien - Diet Coke. No difference between this one and the first.
Angel - Chupa Chups strawberry and cream flavor. Because they're so sweet <3
Guy - Mountain Dew. Always a good time and knows how to keep me up all night.
Freelancer - Coke and orange juice mix. Always a solid choice and Freelancer knows it.
Frederick - Fanta pineapple flavor. So sweet, too much sugar - my poor heart can't take it! /pos in the most "/pos" way to ever "/pos."
Lasko - Chupa Chups watermelon flavor. Very sweet but somehow still refreshing.
Asher - Fanta berry flavor. For some reason it makes me think of him.
Blake - Regular Fanta. Usually too sticky for my tastes, but I can enjoy it like once every six months-
Gavin - 7 Up. Only better than Sprite because it's not as sticky.
Elliott - Pepsi. I honestly have no idea why.
Vinecnt - Coke cherry flavor. It just doesn't mix well in terms of soda - take Coke or cherry but not both for the love of god (Still love Vincent tho and a coke/cherry slushy does taste amazing <3).
Kody - Sprite. He and it are sticky and I don't like it.
Regulus - Dr.Pepper - Better than Root Beer by like .0001%
Sam - Root Beer. He might like it but I sure as hell don't (but unlike Vincent, I am severely judging this man despite my undying love for him).
Assigning the Redacted cast Genshin mains because somebody has to.
Asher: Just wants to play Fu Hua, but she doesn't exist here, so this man is a Dps Barbara main just to cause chaos.
Sweetheart: Was a Jean main until Itto came out.
Milo: Was turned into a Gorou main once Sweetheart got Itto. He didn't play the game before then and sarcastically hates Sweetheart's constant "dog boy" jokes.
Angel: The thirstiest Raiden main to ever be a Raiden main.
David: ...That man mains Diluc and Angel gives him so much shit for it (and, to be fair, he doesn't even really "main" Diluc, seeing how David hardly plays the game).
Darlin: Geo Traveler because they want to piss off Angel.
Lovely: A Keqing main who still believes she has real cat ears.
Sam: Noelle main because claymore characters are the only ones slow enough for him to keep track of and he needs the shield because otherwise he will perish.
Vincent: A Eula main. Obviously.
Gavin: A Rosaria/Yelan main. Again, obviously.
Damien: "Stop fucking healing me" the Hu Tao main.
Lasko: Sucrose main turned Heizou main.
Huxley: His main is Itto, but his best built character is Nahida.
Freelancer: A Sayu main who strictly refers to her as "the lazy avatar."
Kody: A (very badly built) Xiao main.
Blake: Wanderer main. I will not elaborate.
Bestie: Yae Miko main because they enjoy thirsting over fictional characters.
Sunshine: Ayaya main who only refers to her as "Ayaya."
Elliott: Ayato main because he likes how well he and Ayaka play together. Switches mains to support Sunshine's.
Starlight: Yanfei main (no idea why tho).
Avior: "This is a what game?"
As per request, I will assign the Redacted cast Honkai Star Rail mains (also because I have been all over this game since release and am therefore most certainly the most qualified person for this job):
Asher: Still waiting for Fu Hua to make an appearance, but he almost cried when he saw Himeko and did cry when he pulled her. The Honkai Impact 3rd vet is now a Himeko main.
Baabe: Herta main because they thought she was cute.
Milo: A Jing Yuan main whose main team is based on follow-up attacks.
Sweetheart: A Welt Yang main who almost threw their phone the first time they saw and recognized him (they, like Asher, are also a Honkai Impact 3rd player).
Angel: Hook main solely to cause chaos.
David: Refuses to play this game, but would likely be a Clara main if he were to play.
Darlin: So far all of their pulls on standard and all their lost 50/50s have resulted in an E3 Gepard, which they've taken as a sign from whatever higher power that they must turn this man into a dps.
Sam: (Actually good at this game btw) has a team full of supports only and mains Asta.
Lovely: Serval main "because she's hot" (Vincent 100% agrees).
Vincent: Has been saving for Kafka since day one, but then Blade came out, and now all his Stellar Jade is gone.
Gavin: Yukong main (I tell you this, as a Yukong main).
Freelancer: Silver Wolf because "Why do the enemies always have the toughness I can't break with my current team?!"
Lasko: Somehow turned March 7th into a possible dps by building her follow-up attacks (also plays the freeze team of Herta/Pela/March/Gepard).
Lasko's Co-worker: Best Bailu build in all of Dahlia because god knows the d.a.m.n. crew doesn't build their healers properly.
Huxley: Bronya, because he likes playing and building supports.
Damien: Seele, because he likes doing big damage.
Kody: A very edgy Dan Heng main.
Elliott: Sushang main because big c-
Sunshine: Yanqing main. Don't ask why. I just feel like it.
Guy: Sampo. No explanation needed, I hope.
Honey: E6 Natasha which was originally built because Guy has no idea how to build healers correctly but after E6, Natasha just became a dps. Guy is scared of their build.
Besite: Qinque main because Bestie and Qinque give off the same vibe.
Blake: An Arlan main because symbolism.
Ollie: Pela main. He somehow knows her full name and how to write it properly.
Mentor: A Tingyun main because they think she's cute.
Aaron & Smartass: Preservation and Destruction path Trailblazer. This was Smartass' idea because they thought it would be funny.

Saw someone do something like this somewhere, no idea where the post went otherwise I would have linked it but whatever-
Assigning Redacted characters Mindless Self Indulgence songs (From someone who is very normal about that band) in no particular order and with the occasional quote from the song:
Gavin: Tight. [I didn't have a say in the matter, he picked it himself-]
Damien: Witness. [Me assigning him this song is a positive thing, I promise.]
Huxley: On It. [The Imperium is strong with this one...]
Kody: Get It Up. [ :) ]
Lasko: Revenge. [We all know this man just wants to bash some heads in and is doing his best not to.]
The Shaw pack in general: Ass Backwards. [Listen to the song, it's a vibe.]
Vincent: Molly. [Because Vincent was a good girl and he knew the reasons why-]
Sam: Bed Of Roses. [He deserves his little emo song, let him have it.]
Alexis: Evening Wear. [Originally planned on only doing voiced characters, but "It's not fair to be compared to you" is a line that just fit too well.]
William(/Vega): 1989. [*insert old man joke here]
Elliott: What Do They Know. ["Mess me up beyond all recognition. For what it's worth, I'd do it again" - because this man will sacrifice himself and everything for Sunshine with no regrets and we love him for that.]
Blake: Pay For It. ["I don't want you to hate me. I want you to wanna hate me. I don't want you to date me, I want you to wanna date me" - his constant internal struggle with his feelings for Bestie summed up very nicely.]
Regulus: 3 S'. [Doesn't fit 100% but the sentiment is there.]
Avior: Due. [I could quote a line from the song here, but I'd end up just putting most of the lyrics here. So. "Die, my darling" is the one I will go with.]
Guy: Bitches. ["This is how it should be done" indeed.]
Aaron: Mastermind. [No, I will not elaborate.]
Honorable listener mention:
Freelancer: Sex for Homework. [In homage to their humble beginnings.]
Redacted Characters And Listeners That Should Not (under any circumstances) Be Handed a Gun:
-James (Will face first degree murder charges for killing several of his superiors.)

-Angel (Will lose the gun.)
-Kody (Because obviously.)
-Hush (OBVIOUSLY)
-Sunshine (Will kill off everyone in CloseKnit no questions asked [but would that be such a bad thing?])
-Guy (The worst he'll do is shoot a hole into the wall [on accident?] but that's already enough of a reason to never hand this man a firearm.)
-Bright Eyes ("Hey, Fred? Wanna find out how many bullets a vamp can take?" - "No thanks!" - "Chill out, I wasn't gonna test it on you." - "*sigh of relief* Oh thank god... Wait, you're not going to try and kill Vincent again, right?" - "Of course not!" - "Okay good." *silence* "Wait, Bright, no!")

Just found an old yandere Co-worker x Lasko WIP in which Co-worker kinda just kills Kody
I'm sorry to tell you but had he not been an asshole I absolutely would have chosen Kody's romance route
I am here to tell the people of something that I never started but thought you might enjoy (or hate. probably hate.)
Once upon a time (like last year at some point idk) I had an idea for a fic that would have been a Kody x reader and I know I might lose a bunch of you here but trust me, it gets worse. The premise of the story was that the reader was an inchoate demon who constantly leeched off of Kody - lived in his apartment, ate his food, got their nourishment from his constant ònó -mood - even though he clearly didn't want them around. Their relationship was going to be incredibly toxic throughout the whole thing and while on the surface the two would constantly be annoying and really hurtful with each other all the time, there would be a second layer of "Oh shit they're not just bickering they actually fucking hate each other but have grown too accustomed to this daily routine to get out of it."
The reason I never wrote it was that there was no real plot past the base idea and the summary I wrote, which btw was: "The gaslighting girlboss behind the gaslighting bitch boy, as it were. But no, for real, this is a Kody x inchoate demon reader, which comes with all the Kody-related trigger warnings"
Anyway yea have fun with thattt :3
