ughhhgh aku kin memory list thing
//TW FOR THEMES AROUND CULTS AND PROSHITTING (AMONG OTHER THINGS) NEAR THE END//⤶
im fictionkin, so: ⤦
⤠ i didnt choose to be like this
⤠ i REALLY do not condone my past actions /kin
( "/kin" means im referring to myself as my kin(s), i will be using it a LOT so im just putting this here)
⤠ i see people saying this a lot, so no, this is NOT a "STRONG CONNECTION", nor is it delusion-based, its a NON-PHYSICAL and INVOLUNTARY IDENTITY
(also i will be saying "the samurai" a lot just know that im referring to jack and thats what i called him all the time)
⤷canon lore here:
⤷kinlist here:
(still from season 3 episode 11 of samurai jack "the birth of evil part 1" !! )
[——◢ The Birth of Evil/The Black Mass ◣——]
for the most part i remember it all being a massive blur, i remember so little of that time
but listen it was millions of years ago ok :[ /kin
BUT heres what i have from what little i actually remember
- ◅ even as an amorphous mass in space, i was able to change my size and shape, from the size of the average city to the size of a whole planet
- ◅ the three gods (in canon they were odin, ra, and rama) were the ones who tried to destroy the mass i came from, and i remember odin and ra, but i remember it being, not rama, but the god hes the 7th avatar of, vishnu
- ◅ after arriving on earth, the nest several million years were very much a blur, i could only hear around me, nothing else
- ◅ i wasnt even aware of the death i was causing :[
(stills also from birth of evil part 1, splitscreen edit by me !! )
[——◢ Memories as ACTUAL Aku ◣ ——]
[—◄ Post-Freeing ►—]
now that im talking about post-creation i can actually remember things in detail
- ◅ i think it was late 1723 when i was freed??
(idk recently i learned that the samurai jack fandom dubbed november 1st "aku day" and now my mind associates that time of year with my freeing so)
- ◅ the name "aku" was given to me by the local humans, after all i landed in japan and was indeed pretty evil (aku is the japanese word for evil, i only have it in my bot's name because its my canon name for those unaware of who i am)
- ◅ i have been called other evil-adjacent things by many, and thats where my preferred name "mal" came from, as its from malice/malicious
- ◅ i only started acting the way i did because all i saw in humans was hostility, one of the first things the samurai's father did was try to kill me, shouting out how his intention was to destroy me, his mortal weapon doing nothing to harm me – i saw humans as beings of destruction, and ultimately i """returned the favor""" by burning his village to the ground
(that was likely my first real vivid aku memory, and vivid kin memory in general, i ended up having a breakdown due to it... :[ )
- ◅ much like in canon, only weapons forged by gods/divine magic could've harmed me: mortal weapons felt like something scraping against me, leaving only a few seconds of discomfort, but divine weapons/magic felt more like getting a burn (pain varied depending on how "magic" the weapon was but it was still enough to make me feel pain)
- ◅ for that most part after all that, i remember everything playing out like it did in canon
(still from the very first episode ! )
[—◄ Revival And Onward ►—]
- ◅ i ended up being revived under a solar eclispe in the summer of 1732, eight years later, then went out to get revenge on the samurai's father for wronging me in the first place
- ◅ somehow i have memories of 2 different timelines?? like i remember both ruling the world and dying to the samurai and his sword (obviously i have way more memories of my future)
- ◅ i think it took me around 3 years to gain control over the world?? i then spent the next few hundred years expanding and building my empire, to the state it was in in canon
- ◅ i only really called him "jack" when i was mocking or poking fun at him, after all he literally got the name because people would call him that as slang
[—◄ General Memories ►—]
soon enough im probably gonna like
draw what i remember looking like
dont know when but i'll get onto it maybe
- ◅ my body was usually brittle like wood, after all i was created from a tree – but whenever stressed my body would bubble and become sticky, like the tar pit the black mass formed
- ◅ on this note, much like in canon my body was REALLY LOUD, i could've done as little as move a finger and a wooden crackling sound accompanied it
- ◅ i have memories for most au versions of myself
like first i kinfirmed paladin aku (au by thememime), then started kinsidering stained glass (au by sindrak), then realized im just aku in general
i think the only ones i know that dont apply are the mes from the various aus by teacupballerina
(and honestly
thank god
shes a proshitter who ships pedo, incest, and abuse and thinks that "because its fiction its fine")
- ◅ i remember constantly trying to cause beef with odin, ra, and vishnu and failing miserably
- ◅ also i think i have vauge memories of zeus and hades?? idk i remember summoning cronus that one time and nearly get struck down by zeus for it :[
