Naturally the Butcher is going to want to take advantage of the system once he gets over the annoyance of it, and see how many different types of weapons he can produce.

He has plenty of people he could just yell angrily about so we'll see how successful he is.

His typical stuff will probably be things like snakes, spiders, knifes, scalpels, small nooses... (do ask), hammers, nails, small lengths of metal wire, etc. These can be pleasant or upset meanings because they're things he likes because he enjoys torture. So it's a toss-up whether he's happy or angry with some of these things.

I'm still trying to think up more pleasant aimed things for rare instances when he's purposefully nice... maybe flowers, little singing birds, stuffed puppies and wolves...?? lmao. things that he will be embarrassed and confused about.

Musical notes!!! lmao. I guess they could turn into little wooden carvings once they stop floating in the air or something? How fanciful should I get...?

Do they have to turn into something solid??

Oh, and if he gets partially explosively angry.... grenades. Definitely some old fashioned style grenade or two.

They don't have to be solid! They could be little smoky notes that dissolve into the air.

Perfect.

I love the idea of seeing his music. I think that could be really cool

If you see musical notes its just the Butcher passing by... the idea of them coming out in the exact rhythm that he's singing amuses me. Literally just a bar of notes following along with his song. :3

Oooo that's so neat

....could little bottles of alcohol be created from this?

It should be able to be

There's a size limit, but that should be well within it

Yeah, I was thinking it seemed plausible if we can do cotton candy and stuff.

I thought of it because of Sweeney! floofdoodle

oh, absolutely liquor bottles would be fine!

And magic items

Fantastic.

I think if he was talking to Sweeney happily they'd end up with Irish whiskey to add to the stock. XD Because he associates Sweeney with the Speakeasy and Irish whiskey is the best ofc.

Death mask or skulls if he ends up doing his memento mori nonsense at some point.

I would love him to have an excuse to say one of his silly sayings... the "building castles in the sky" one brings up a lovely little imagery. haha.
I don't foresee any of them coming out, but I'll keep an eye on some and see.

Here for some Whiskey

Heck yeah!

okay I came up with some fun and cute little ideas if someone gets him to talk about Arthur or cleverness. Or John Doe!

Because it would be hilarious for certain things to manifest in conjecture to such topics...

when Arthur talks to/about the Butcher he's definitely getting weapons and incredibly venomous shit

kekeke

as well he should. all compliments to him. XD

i have the dumbest idea to give Butcher a pet, help. get the thought out of my mind.

he should have a pet!

He'd be horrible.

But also somehow it's still tempting...

What if just him hunting this poor little beast until he catches it and for some reason doesn't kill it...

Ugh brain stopit

Can't decide between funny-horrible network post or just relatively pleasant singing post.

Help it's a monday, i got no sleep, and a bazillion dumb ideas in my head.

The great dilemma

It is a dilemma.

A horrible one.

Me trying to decide if it's dumb or not.

Or ooc. (Keeping a pet in particular on that part. The nonsense would be easy with this flood.)

For sure. It's one of the reasons (ooc) that Sweeney doesn't technically have a pet. Jax is Will's, so I can work around him a lot of the time

Niiice.
Yeah, it sucks thinking "oh this would be cute and/or funny but would the character do this or actually that instead"

I think Collins could be persuaded to take care of a dog after the circus breach but I also think it would have to come from someone intently convincing him or forcing him into it.

Like, he wouldn't advocate or ask for one himself even though he still thinks fondly of his wolves.

But something else? Unexpected and a nuisance? I feel like he'd be more inclined to kill it. That said...

I have thought of, like, him begrudgingly keeping it because it's a clever little animal...

So my brain is stuck on "do i or don't i do the dumb thing"

Yeah...

That's a tough one, with the risk of death

Oh, I have no qualm with animal death, especially if it's not a pet (and if he killed it it would be during the flood after it manifested and made itself comfortable in his room so it would be a wild animal not a pet at the time).

For sure

I more meant in a 'should he have a pet' way

I mean that is also a factor but.

I assume his dying wouldn't matter in the long run, so it's a matter of whether Butcher would kill it at some point in anger.

Which is either a "you're still not fixed" if he kills it or a "look at you caring for another living critter, good boy" thing.

Not a bad thing to use as a gauge on him really...

I want to hit up a bunch of flood things already but I need sleep first... wait for me... I'm coming... just not today ;;

Quick question: are you interested in Collins getting a magic item that makes/lets him feel Sweeney's emotions? No is totally ok, I'm just brainstorming what his words will make.

O-oh. That's an interesting idea!

I am willing to play with this idea! I am not sure how Collins will take it...

Would it be something that might kind of feel similar to their time as brothers?

Having Collins touch the item before he realizes it's magical and he feels that would definitely have less fall out than just a magical item being offered to him. If that makes any sense.

I fell asleep half way through writing that sentence so lmk if it doesn't

It does. Then it's not a trick or such

No worries. And if you need sleep, you should totally sleep

Yeah! Plus the familiarity will cause him to hesitate.

As for the shape and effect, I'm flexible as to what it would look like or do. Sweeney's just making magic with varying levels of actual intention, but this maybe more accidental, just because he has such complicated feelings about Collins

Lmao I'm at work. I just. stared at the screen too long and I more tired than I realized.

I need to sleep at night like a sane person.

Dawwww, yeah poor Sweeney.

I think it would be neat if it mimicked or at least felt like their mental connection during that breach and gave Collins more insight into emotions. I'm down for it working both ways or if it's some sort of paired thing that they each have one of for it to be full connection.

I'll see what I can come up with that Collins might pick (maybe something that rolls or something)

I'm cool with it going both ways, because Sweeney really does long for connection (even if he tries not to). Not to the point of telepathy, in specific, but yeah

Yeah as for shape I've got nothing off the top of my head. Unless

(Oh like a ball rolling towards him? Yeah, he would pick that up.)

Yeah! I was thinking it feels like their bond in the breach.. I think they vaguely picked up on emotions but I'm less certain how much detail we went into it or how much was just obvious body posture.

I just don't want it to be perceived as malicious

I know poor Sweeney had a lot to deal with his brother trying not to spook him like a wild animal.

Makes sense.

I thought of wolf shaped but that...might upset Collins.

I'm not sure if "I'm being attacked" upset or just "i didn't want to think about this" upset though.

small wooden orb with wolf brothers carved around its circumference ;a;

Maybe. I'm mulling

lmao no worries, i feel ya

I'm still debating on that horrible-silly network post and pet. been thinking about it again today

Sometimes things just take a while to percolate

I'm still just mostly a scaredy cat to implement it. but also. part of me just wants to do stupid fluffy things.

but also like. violent fluffy things because Butcher.
