CORRUPTION AU MEME



The Sword Army pursues the Retrograding Army through history, encountering familiar settings and reliving old memories. Though strong, with every change in time and setting, the swords dread the old memories. As they fight to preserve history as it is meant to be, the Sword Army must steel their hearts and resist temptation lest they come to fight themselves…

A popular fan theory is that the enemy swords you fight are actually your swords from an alternate universe who wished to change history. For this meme, feel free to make up your own starters or use one of the prompts below. Remember to state if your character is corrupted, not, or if you have no preference.

PROMPT IDEAS

1. How could you let this happen? They wanted to be left alone, their mood was poor, and maybe you should have noticed the signs but now that you have, it’s too late. They can’t stop these thoughts in their head and something in their soul has turned dark and ugly. Is it too late? Maybe you can get through to them… if not, are you ready to draw your sword?

2. Possession. Even the smallest trace of doubt can attract them— evil spirits. Once the dark spirit has latched on to your soul, it takes over and consumes you. Maybe the possession is gradual or maybe it happens suddenly. All you know is that everyone has regrets and anyone can doubt… this could happen to anyone.

3. Cry Wolf. We fought the same battles and shared the same meals together so it was only natural that we would be considered allies and friends. The fateful moment approaches and suddenly it is revealed: One of you is not a true friend. There is a traitor among you.

4. Becoming your own enemy. Your mission is to go back in time and let things happen as they were meant to be but their fall into despair was never supposed to happen, right? And so you went back in time to prevent their misfortunes but you keep failing again and again until, this time, you think you’ve got it. This time, you’ll be able to save your friend - but will you be able to save yourself too?

5. Reborn again. When destroyed in battle, the sword disappears only to return again anew. You can’t choose the fate you’re born with though and this time, someone has returned… from the wrong side.

INSPIRATIONS

There are some corruption fanart floating around Pixiv, as well as a FST made by Aki ([personal profile] fletrir). Other canons with similar themes to this meme are first and foremost Puella Magi Madoka Magica, as well as Shin Megami Tensei and other demonic-theme heavy series.

[He didn't flinch away from her touch, and while she respected his boundaries, it seemed he didn't mind. And so she cups his cheek, after all the blood has been wiped away. It was nothing but a simple gesture, one to tell him that he wasn't alone, and she wasn't afraid of him. Whatever happens, she will treat him the same as always. He could be strong, confident, but even the strongest have weaknesses.

It may be tainting him now, but knowing how he could have strengths and weaknesses and emotions, he's more human than he gives himself credit for. He's opening up to her, and she's grateful.

Her expression softens as she nods, stroking his cheek with her thumb.]
I would do this for you. I promise, Mitsutada, I will do everything for you.

[Hearing how he doesn't want to leave, she manages to smile; relieved, happy, just everything at once. She'll find him a place here. He would always have a place if she had anything to do with it.] I don't want you to leave either. No one does. Trust them to help you fight your battles. And trust me to guide you through this. I will be with you every step of the way.
