HUH?! WHAT?! WHEN?! HIS MOTHER IS HER?! WHEN?! HOW?! WHAT THE HELL!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?
So like, i know Turkiye isn't really in the Balkans but it also is? I don't know. Anyway, am i welcome here?
After finishing Walten Files, oh boy let me tell you the HATE i felt for Felix Kranken. That creature ruined an entire family because his irresponsible ass was drunk, crashed the car and killed Molly and Edward. Also, oh don't even get me STARTED on how he ruined Rosemary, that is the main reason i hate him. He ruined my glorious, gorgoeus and beautiful queen Rosemary Walten, that man deserves HELL. I don't care if he's "Sad" or "Feels Guilty" He KNEW he needed to drive and still got drunk. It's HIS fault, ALL of it

Backstory
While Kara and Nate's father (Zor-El) sends her off to space, their MOTHER is sending Nate off with a diffrent space pod with tears in her eyes. After a few seconds the pod take's off and both of them are send into the endless void of space, but Nate didn't land to a similar planet to Earth like Clark did, instead he landed into a planet named Hyvkrom which inhabited by the alien species named Hyvkromite's. Hyvkromite's are conqurer's like Kryptonian's but don't have the same strenght as them, Nate grew up in Hyvkrom and got educated to how to be a Conqurer like them. When he became 18 years old he completly become a Conqurer like them or even better, he made himself willingly go through rough training everyday and even managed to find some Kryptonite and got in contact with a small amount, after he become immune to that amount he raised it a little, after one point he become immune to a handful of Kryptonite that would kill any other Kryptonian in under a minute. But his life wasn't perfect at all, he felt lonely all the time, sure he had people who we're scared of him, he has power over the %70 of the planet's in the Milky Way Galaxy…But he was alone, there wasnt any other Kryptonian. Just him and his lonely empire…One day he had enough and ordered the smartest scientest's from multiple planet's and told them to investigate any sign of Kryptonian in Galaxies, because there was one thing he faintly remembered, his sister, Kara Zor-el. After a few years when he became 22 year's old and because of the weird activites going on in the Earth (Like Jonathan keep appearing in the past and future alongside with Lara also coming to past) The scientest's finally manage to find two Kryptonian life form's in Earth, Kal-el (Clark Kent) and Kara Zor-el. Nate quickly order's his soldiers to get ready for a long travel plan to Earth, he is so excited that he will finally see his sister but doesnt show it to outside. After two month's (Two month's after the season 3 finale) They finally come in contact with the Eart, Nate already planned everything in his head, he will come down to Earth, give a speech about wanting to see his sister, find his sister and conquer Earth together (Altough he had no idea Kara is completly the opposite of what he is) After a few more minutes, the ship land's in the most open part of the city. He slowly get's off the ship slightly floating above the ground, after giving a long speech about wanting to see his sister, how he has literally power over their galaxies more than half and how he would also conquer Earth. After all the news channel's show it, Kara and Clark obviously see it and immedaitly fly to where Nate is and Kara floats in front of him showing she's not scared of him. Nate slowly floats closer to her and after a few seconds he…Hug's her? Yeah, this guy who's almost two meter's tall, built like a tank and literally can break anyone's back with one hand literally turned into a excited soft guy. After excitedly explaining Kara about his plan she obviously refuses, telling Nate how Earth is her home now and she's happy. He slightly get's dissapointed and sad at her response he immedaitly straighten's up and slightly harden his additude, he openly say's that this planet has lower life form's than them and saying the two of them can literally take over the planet in the matter of seconds, Kara slightly get's sad at his view on Earth and slightly make puppy eyes (Not on purpose though) After looking at her face for a few seconds, Nate sigh's and gives her three month time to show him what's so special about this planet since he slightly feel's at making her sister sad. After that day Kara, Clark, Lois and Jimmy try to show that Earth is awesome and also obviously go into multiple adventure's

Backstory (Both Nathan and Mary)
After the finale of Season 2. In Heaven, Emily decides that it's a good idea to creat a brand new two Angel just for the Hotel for both to keep Hotel more safe and a kind of apology for what Heaven have done to Hell. She somehow convinces the council and Sera to creat a new Angel, Nathan. After a few minutes, Nathan and Mary's creation get's completed and a bright white light fills the half of the room. First Nathan appears, slowly armor piece's cover his body, a belt get's wrapped around his upper part of his crotch, on his right there was a small bible, a notebook and a pencil, on his left, his sword and a dagger both made by pure angelic steel and then his wings appear. Then Mary appears slowly, having the same things as Nathan. After their creation (They are bonded by their soul's as "Father and Daughter" btw), Nathan immedaitly falls on one knee, bowing to Sera. While Mary looks around in curiousity and excitment, she takes her helmet off and there's a big ass smile on her face, suddenly she widens her wings and flies around the court room excitedly asking questions like "Hi! Who are you?" "Oh what's that?" "Are you my superior" Emily slightly giggles and tells her to go back next to his father pointing at Nathan. Mary smiles wider as she realizes she has a father and immedaitly flies face firdt next to Nathan but fails landing and slams face first on the ground hardly, she makea a little "Ow" sound before quickly getting up and bowing at Sera the same way Nathan is doing. Sera clears her throath and say
"Nathan and Mary, you two have been assigned to protect and serve the Hotel in Hell"
Nathan nod's slightly and gets up keeping an intimidating stand while Mary is literally jumping up and down with excitment. She clings onto Nathan and looks up to him with excitment and Nathan looks down and gently pats on Mary's head. But first Emily introduce's Heaven to them and shows them around, after a few hours Emily finally opens the portal to Hell then Nathan and Mary step in. The moment they step into Hell and the portal closing from their back, Mary looks around in amazement and flies off to look around, Nathan tries to stop her but she's WAY too fast. Nathan sigh's and sees the hotel in distance and makes his way towards there
(If you're asking why Emily didn't just opened a portal in the Hotel, let's think you're a sinner who's chilling in the lobby and suddenly two ANGELS come out of it. The same ANGELS that's similar to the Excorsist's who murdered thousands maybe a few million sinners. Yeah, a huge chaos would erupt in the Hotel)
When Nathan comes in front of the Hotel enterance he knocks on it and Charlie opens the door. I thought maybe there would be a little funny scene similar in the Pilot. Nathan raises his hand to wave, Charlie shut's the door to his face, opens it back and Nathan slightly tilt's his head confused then slams the door to his face again and calls Vaggi. After meeting with him, Nathan quickly explains the situation by using his notepad and Charlie nods with understanding, he steps in and writes on his notepad asking if he can have his own corner in the Lobby and Charlie approves.
(He and Mary DOES get a room btw)
He moves to a corner then extends his hand and slowly a few things appear. Three bookshelf's that's filled with Bible's, a triangle table and 6 chairs around it, a cross on the wall and a painting of "The Last Supper" then turns back to Charlie as they talk a little. Then suddenly a distant voice comes closer and closer, sounds like someone screaming. Suddenly, Mary crashes through a window and falls flat on her face, then she quickly gets up, meets Charlie and the others and goes off to explore the Hotel (The rest of the day/Episode goes off normal. Introducing the others, singing, blah blah blah. Hazbin Hotel stuff)
In the next episode (A few days later after Nathan and Mary comes to Hotel)
Nathan sit's on his corner reading his Bible while Mary tries to talk with Vaggi trying to learn about her more, Charlie comes down to Lobby and get's a mail from Carmilla Carmine. The mail says
"Princess of Hell Charlie Morningstar, please attend to the Overlord Meeting that is happening today, and bring the Angels too"
(She's calling Charlie because it's obviously not usual for two Angel Knight's appearing in Hell out of nowhere)
So she call's Nathan and Mary then go to the Overlord meeting. At the meeting there are other Overlords, the same old stuff but there's Valentino this time instead of Velvette or Vox (Since Velvette is busy and Vox is an Ipad now) and you guessed it, he has 2 girls with him and one of them is the masked woman next to Valentino in S1 E6. After everyone is seated, the masked woman caughts Nathan's and Odette caughts Mary's attention. After the meeting ends, Mary immedaitly makes her move towards Odette but she mocks her and flat out rejects her. Mary feels slightly hurted but has NO intention to give up. As for Nathan, after Valentino leaves the masked woman is left behind following him, but Nathan suddenly hold her by the arm then quickly lets go not wanting to scare her. He takes his notepad and quickly writes "Hey" But it's really messy, the woman smiles slightly under her mask and says "Hi" But before they can talk longer, Valentino calls the woman and she hands Nathan his notepad and quickly walks away. Then Charlie, Nathan and Mary also leave and they go back to Hotel, but neither Mary can take her mind off of Odette or Nathan can take his mind off of about the masked woman. At the studio, masked woman ask's Val to visit the Hotel making up and excuse of seeinf what they're doing or to spy (Something like that) So Val approves, but in reality she's going to see Nathan and learn more about him (Obviously) so she goes to Hotel and talks with Nathan for hours and hours and the finally do you know what business😉 And Nathan is actually getting really popular around the Hell, even becoming an Angel Hell loves. At one point, Nathan comes to Velvette's departmant. Everyone looks at him scaredly but not Velvette, he walks towards her and stop's right in front of her and lean down. Then he points at a suit that's a mix of the color's Red and White, he writes down on his notepad saying "Can you make one that for me?" Velvette raises an eyebrow then the screen cut's to a screen where Velvette and Nathan discussing over things about fashion as Nathan either writes on his notepad or makes hand gestures that mean "Yes" or "No"
But this story isnt all Sunshines and Rainbows
While Mary lives her time in the Hotel freely, relaxed, happily anf constantly flirting with Odette (She does get her as her girlfriend btw) Nathan constantly deals with a Life Crisis, he questions himself, his life, the things around him. He has feelings for a sinner, has to protect a Hotel. His worries get so bad these are the only things he thinks about, not being able to spend time with either his daughter or his girlfriend. Then slowly, he accepts himself as who he is, he's not Heaven's property, his only existence isnt about protecting a Hotel. He's Nathan…Just Nathan. After this he starts living his life more peaceful and happy, but it doesnt end there. In the season finale, Lute literally challanges Charlie to get into a hall in Heaven and fight with her, so she get's the group together with also Nathan and Mary, and also Lucifer (Don't ask why) When they get to Heaven, Nathan immedaitly step's forward and draw's his sword with hesitation, he doesnt want to hurt Lute but suddenly. Lute makes an attack towards Nathan, and sent him flying to a wall. His back hit's to the wall and he drops on the ground with lading on one knee, his helmet is broken and finally shows his hair and his Gorgeous face (Because he's an Angel) He feels something in his mouth to he slightly puts a finger in it and pull it back out, realizing it's…Blood. He talks in a voice of disbelief (This is the FIRST time he talks)
"Oh my god…"
Then he slowly gets up, his face showing anger. He slowly spawns another sword in his other hand and lunges at Lute with two swords (Altough he is still holding back a little) and a bloodshet of a battle begins (There are also a few Excorsist's) After a long battle, Lucifer is cornered by Lute and is so close to getting stabbed, when Lute strikes her spear…It doesnt hit Lucifer…He slowly turns his head and sees…Nathan, got stabbed right in the middle of his body…The whole place goes quiet as Nathan's face shows pain and shock…He glances down at his body as Lute suddenly pull's back her spear. Nathan falls on the ground as Vaggi screams his name in pure horror. She immedaitly flies towards him, she takes him gently in her chest as she whisper's in a soft quiet tone between her sobs
"Everything is gonna be alright, okay? Just…Stay with me"
And things like that. Nathan weakly looks at Vaggi and smile weakly but softly and talk
"It's…Okay…I…Lived my best life with you…Thank you for…Being there for me…"
Then his hand drops on his side as his body goes limp…Vaggi gently lay him on the ground, tears in her eyes, everyone is too shocked to do anything. Then Charlie and the others go back to Hell, Mary shoots one final look into the Heavenly hall with hatred, Heaven isn't a "Peaceful" place for her anymore…She hates Heaven. Back in Hell, Charlie and the others attend a funeral for Nathan and even made a grave for him. As the scene shows around the Hotel with Charlie's monolouge like in the finale of season two. The screen cuts black…Then, as the scene shows parts from the hall that the fight happend now empty while Cowpoke plays on the background. It comes to Nathan laying back first on the ground…His fingers twitches…As the screen cuts black and credits roll as the cowpoke continues to play in the background
So, what do ya'll think?
Okay so, i think i found a Fandom that isnt on Floor 796. It's the Webtoon comic serie School Bus Graveyard
After years, i have finally achieved success. I have beated Granny on easy mode
Yo i know this looks ass or even like shit, but check it out
Like i mean, when you hate a person SO much you genuinely couldnt decide what to do. You can throw them in a lake or feed them poisoned birthday cake, You wont deny you're gonna miss them when they're gone. Or you could bury them alive but they might crawl up with a knife and kill you while you're sleeping. That's why, you can't decide whether they should live or die
But nah jokes aside, was there genuinely a moment in your life like that?
So my theory is that when Catalina shot Claude in the start of GTA 3, Catalina might've accidently damaged Claude's vocal cords or somewhere near his throath that made him unable to speak. Now i know some of you might think "But he doesnt talk in San Andreas either" But let's think like this, why would you immedaitly talk with a dude that you just met and at the same time he's your girlfriend's ex? And he doesnt look like the type of dude that flexes what he has, he even just stands there like a brick while Catalina taunt's Carl by saying things like "He's my new man" "Aren't you're jealous?" Or whatever
So there is my theory my friends. Claude can't talk because Catalina accidently (Or on purpose) Shot a part of his body that made him unable to speak
Now, i don't know if i can call myself a fan of the anime but i DID watched a few episode's and i really liked the anime (I didn't read the manga's yet since manga price's a bit spicy in my country) anyway, let me get to my point
I'm guessing most of ya'll want Loid and Yor to end up together, which is something i want too-But…Before all that good ending comes, i want one thing…I want Loid to. Crash. Out. Like not on Yor or Anya. I want Yor and Anya to get kidnapped and Loid literally crashing out, his patience snapping, literally going crazy with a dead straight face. I want him to jump in front of the car that's kidnapping Yor and Anya while the car is MOVING, then i want him to punch and break the car's front glass with his bare hands and the car crashing. I want him to slowly aproach the injuried kidnapper and beat the kidnapper slow and rough, i want him to get to the edge of killing the kidnapper but stopping at the last second after hearing Yor and Anya's voice. Then i want him to rush over to Yor and hug her thightly and whisper something like "I was so scared, i thought i was going to lost two of you" and i want Yor to hug him back and Anya like hugging Loid's leg, then i want Loid to suddenly realize what he's doing and quickly pulling back and trying to act professional and trying to go back to that "Just for the mission" nonsense but failing miserably and go back to their house with Yor and Anya
From this post what im trying to say is. I want to see Loid genuinely loving Yor and Anya so much that he would snap and do all of these crazy things just to save them. A pure evidence of Loid loving Yor and Anya
That's all, bye
Okay so, my character's name is Nathan, he's an angel and he's actually the newest created Angel by the Angel counciol (I don't know if they can do that. But i don't care) , he's really strong and gained the title "The Strongest Soldier In Heaven" he wears a full body armor and has a helmet that covers his whole head (Including his face) he's muscular but it can't be really seen because of the armor, just a little bit, also he's really handsome, his hair is blonde, his armor is white and a soft yellow (Representing Heaven) and his armor design kinda looks like Gabriel's Armor from Ultrakill. He's created because Emily thought it would be a great way for extra protection for the hotel, and an apology for what have Heaven did to Hell (And you might think he's mindless, but he's not. He has senses, a conciousness, feelings, he's like every other being. A normal being with senses. Also he's straight) He prefers to be silent and is silent all the time (I thought it would be a great idea since everyone in the show swear's, and since he's silent, he can't swear) but he DOES have vocal cords, he just prefers not to. He's tall at a whopping height of 2 Meter's and 40 Centimeters, and also Charlie can command him since he's given to her and he's kinda her servant. His armor also contains a big white bladed with yellow stripped hilt sword on his left side of his belt, a small the same designed dagger right under the sword, a little notebook and a little Bible on his right (He can also create an extra sword if he needs to) Nathan is assigned to protect the Hotel and Charlie. He also respect's Lucifer and Vaggi since one of them is a former Archangel and the other one is an Angel like him. When he first comes, he hands her a note that Emily wrote, he first wait's for Charlie's approval to come in, Charlie obviously agree's for him to come in and he get's in, but everyone in the Lobby drops dead silent at seeing an Angel. There's a slight panick happens in the Hotel but Charlie quickly explains and everyone slowly calms down the sinners, then Nathan scribble's down on a little paper and give's it to Charlie that reads "Can i have my own corner?" And after some seconds, Charlie approves. Nathan nod's respectfully, he moves into a corner of the lobby, extend's his hand and start's creating a corner for himself (He eventually does get a room, but the corner is like a hangout spot for him) Slowly, 2 short white wall and a white floor appears on the corner, 6 White single couche's with a little white table in the middle of the chairs, 2 bookshelf's appear (They are also white) and they get FILLED with multiple Bible's that are perfectly aligned next to each other, and a "The Last Supper" painting on the wall. Everyone watches with amazement as Nathan walk's up to a bookshelf's, pick's out a Bible, sit's down on one of the single couch and start's reading it, and after the end of the episode (I was thinking about He would appear in S3 episode 1 or 2) while everyone is minding their business, his communication device (That was given to him right after he was created to keep in contact with the Heaven) ring's and he opens it. It's Lute (She hadn't been given one, she stole it from Sera) say's in a dark tone "Go into an alone part of the Hotel" He first get's confused but then goes to Rooftop of the hotel, then Lute lies to Nathan saying "Listen, those sinner's are not meant to be protected. They are blasphemos disgusting creature's, go and kill everyone in that f\\\*\\\*king Hotel. Or you WILL face with the Consequenses" after Lute hangs up. Nathan stands there confused, but then shrug's his shoulder dismissingly and goes to his room (Because since Lute isnt a higher ranked Angel like Sera, he doesnt really care) and after the episode's goes on (Like 2 or 3), Charlie get's anote that invites her to an Overlord meeting (Obviously because of the suddenly appearing Angel in hell) and Nathan goes with her (Since the note Carmilla sent said "Bring that Angel too" and Nathan also follows Charlie whenever she goes outside of Hotel or when she tell's him to) after they get in the meeting room. Nathan kinda freeze's at seeing Clara since he finds her REALLY beautiful, then he shakes his head and goes back to normal. While the meeting goes on, he can't take his eyes off Clara (Because he fell in love with her a little bit) and when she looks at him, he quickly look's away embarassedly. When the meeting end's, Carmilla talk's Nathan in private and say's "I saw you looking at one of my daughter's…I don't want you near them even an inch. Got it?" (Since i think her husband got killed by excorsist's in the past) Nathan's shoulder's slump in dissapointment, he nod's sadly and walk's back to Hotel with Charlie, but in the next episode. Clara actually visit's the Hotel (Just to talk with Nathan, no other reason) then she find's Nathan. First they are shy, but they open up to each other and talk for hours and hours (Mostly Clara talk's and Nathan listen's). Then Nathan invite's her to his room, he closses the door after Clara comes in and turns around but finds Clara without her shirt (Nathan was actually planning a private Bible study) then Clara realize's she understood the whole thing wrong and quickly tries to put her shirt back on embarassedly, but Nathan stops her then they lock eyes (Nathan always keeps his helmet on btw) Nathan lift's his Helmet just enough for to stick his mouth out, then he kisses Clara, Clara kisses him back. They get on the bed, take off their clothe's and do…things, if you know what i mean. After that, they lay on the bed back first, panting. Clara lay's her head on Nathan's naked chest and slowly fall asleep and Nathan stroke's her hair gently. In the next episode, Clara secretly leave's then Nathan questions himself in his mind panickedly in his room with questions like "Why did i do that with her?" "She's a sinner, what was i thinking?!" "Was that lust? But i love her" "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!" And in the end of the episode, Nathan finally accepts himself. Yes, he did do things with her, but that's not bad, loving someone isn't Blasphemy or a sin, he loves her, and in the finale of the episode. Charlie, and her friends (Also Lucifer) and Nathan go into Heaven for a last fight (Because of Lute). Lute struck's Nathan with a hard spear attack on the face. Nathan hit's a wall and then falls to ground and sit's on one of his knee panting. Then his mask broke's and everyone sees his face for the first time. His nose slightly bleeds, he touche's the blood and say's in a calm, beautiful and almost a melodic voice "Oh my god" Then he gets up and glare's at Lute with anger and spawn's another sword and fight's with Lute, after some minute's, Lucifer get's in a situation where he might die, and Charlie doesnt realize that. So Nathan sacrifice's himself to save Lucifer, he smile's at Lucifer one last time and fell to ground and pass out (But he doesnt die, he just passes out with the damage and exhaustion) and Season end's with Charlie and her group going back to Hell
​
So, what are your thought's lad's?
