#im over here making creatures

[necrocrafter]

So, as a breather from the transcript, I wanna focus today's post on Zoey! I absolutely love and adore Zoeys character in MCD, but I felt sometimes she was really pushed off to the side instead of giving her more moments between Aphmau and the main cast. My brain decided she had to be the next victim after Donna. And here's what I got so far.

MCD notes

Zoey had a son a long time ago

She was married but then divorced

She was originally banished from the Yggdrasil Forest because it was forbidden for anyone but the high council to know/learn/use magicks

In canon, she was originally a fairy but later rewritten to be an elf when she became a more permanent character

Zoey has helped deliver many babies in her lifetime and absolutely adores them

Zoey gave up her immortality and more to bring Aphmau (and co) back from the Irene Dimension

◇ New Lore + Backstory◇

Zoey is half fae-half elf

Zoey used to be a wild child, terribly outspoken and spiteful. She knew what she was doing, and it didn't matter how long it took. She'd prove you wrong

The fae live in a pocket realm called the Rieiialavostreod Corridor. It is split between the main prominent courts: seelie and unseelie. There are other courts as well as those who don't associate with any court. Each court has different areas they live in, with them being either in the Malachite Corrie or The Leviathan Grove. Zoey was born in The Leviathan Grove, which is the home to those who fall under or are allied with the Unseelie. Zoeys' mother is a fae from a sub group closely associated with the winter court, who are allied with the Unseelie. Their court is made up of those who display raven/corvid, butterfly, or dragonfly traits. Meanwhile, Zoeys father is an elf from the main village that resides in the Yggdrasil Forest. For a long time, she lived in the LGrove before she decided to visit, stay, and bond with her father in the Yggdrasil Forest.

Zoey had grown up a wild child, thriving and exploring the world to her hearts content. She was seen as unruly by the other elves after living in such a "chaotic" realm. She had only really become "civilized" when her father taught her the ways of the mortal realm. In her curiosity of the wider world, Zoey constantly snuck out of the forest and would travel and learn about the world beyond before returning to the forest with trinkets and knowledge. Zoey had always been free to practice and learn her magics in the courts, it was encouraged and just a simple fact of nature, so she was highly unimpressed and very unmoved by the elf councils rules about magics. In retaliation, she consumed as much knowledge about magics as she could, interacting with other magic users so she could be just as, if not more, knowledgeable as that stuffy council. Seeing this act of rebellion, the council saw fit to try and punish her, to which her father stepped in, reasoning with them that it was only natural for her to try and do so; especially with her upbringing. They dropped the punishment but let her off with a single warning to never do it again. Her father understood why Zoey wanted to continue practicing magic but told her that if she HAD to do so, to keep it hidden away. Zoey reassured him she wouldn't, but in reality, she was furious with the council and dived deeper into her studies, eventually becoming so driven in her need to know, she ended up experimenting with highly magic materials that reacted negatively to each other, resulting in the a magical backlash; causing a accident that would haunt her for the rest of her life. In the ensuing blast, her father, who had just walked in to see the beginnings of the blast, jumped in front of her to take the brunt of it; being incinerated on the spot.

The house burnt down, and the surrounding areas were heavily damaged with many injured. The council was livid, placing magical inhibitors bands on her, to which in her grief striken state, she didn't fight. She was incredibly heartbroken and lost after that, not knowing what to do or even how to fix the situation. It took many years for her to come back from it, for which during that time, is where she met the man that would become her husband. Gabriel had originally been one of the many elves that had looked down upon her for constantly going against the council. However, seeing how depressed and utterly lost Zoey was, he put aside his hatred and, out of pity, decided to help her and encouraged her to find other ways to make her way in the world. She eventually found herself taking care of the younger children, helping first-time mothers, babysitting for those who needed someone. After time, she had gained the reputation of a reliable person in the village to watch over your children, even with her past. Many were relieved, having believed such a tragedy had "fixed" her, making her see sense in what the council was saying and how precious life and the rules were. Years later, Zoey & Gabriel fell in love, soon getting married and eventually having a son. It would seem like she was happy, after all, Zoey loved them both dearly, watching her husband eventually gain a seat on the council and find himself whilst she matured, raised her beloved son, and was improving her reputation. However, Zoey was never truly satisfied with the life she had. She loved her family, dearly so, as well as the accomplishments she'd made, but she KNEW there was so much more to the world and her life. It wasn't the same without magic. Their world was ingrained with it. SHE was ingrained in it. To deny the natural essence of her nature was unnatural. And Zoey would not be contained any longer than she had been. She'd been patient, kept a low profile, and acted as was expected of her, but she was really just keeping things below the radar; practicing her magic in secret.

One day she was once again delving into her magics when her husband walked in on her, causing an intense argument between the two. The combined energies from them, as well as the raw now uncontained energy she'd amassed, caused another magical shockwave that destroyed many parts of the village. Naturally, the council blamed Zoey, threatening to take her husband off the council and banish their family from the forest. The council gave Gabriel a ultimatum, he could keep his seat and they'd allow him and their son to stay in the forest, but Zoey would be banished as she was too dangerous to have around. It was put up to a vote of the village as a whole, with the villagers being asked if she should stay or be banished, which would then be backed by the votes of the ENTIRE council; Gabriel included. In the end, they all voted for her to be banished, including her husband. Her son was furious at her, stating at how they could've continued being a family but she couldn't have just been "normal" and listened. That he hated her, for doing this to their family, to him, and that he would always grow up with the shadow of her dishonor following him throughout his life. That'd he'd always be known as "the son of discord". He turned his back on her, cursing Zoeys name to the spirits. Gabriel tried to reassure that with her gone, it'd give her a chance to see reason and understand her mistakes while also allowing time for the council to calm down enough for him to persuade then enough to let her back. Heartbroken and incensed by all of this, Zoey divorced him in front of everyone, stating that he can keep his seat and his feeble excuses. Leaving, she travels for centuries under the glamor of a pure-elf merchant, selling her fairy lights to any who'd be willing. She'd end up joining up with many traveling groups and fellow merchants but would always truly be alone. Somehow, she winds up in a water village and she wonders how long she'll stay until she eventually aimlessly wander again until the faithful day a woman of wild dark raven locks, amber eyes, mysterious dark markings, and a spirit that just screamed unfettered, appeared in her life.

And that's all I really have for backstory rn before I get into the main plotline. I just wanted a basis to start with and expand upon. And well, that's what I got.

Now, onto appearance! Appearance wise, I know I want to go the dark skin, long elvish ears with blonde butterfly braids (I believe this is what they're called?? Fellow black peeps or anyone who knows in general, please correct me if im wrong) Alongside that, idk if any of you have seen peoples OC's that have the multitude of butterfly-insect wings on their faces but that's what I want her natural fae appearance to look like without her elf glamor! (I don't wanna use anyone's art without permission, so I'd definitely check them out cause they're super cool!)

She'll have wings, but she keeps them hidden. (I know, fae don't usually have them, but I think it'd be fun) I KNOW you guys have seen those feather cloaks/chest pieces. Yeah, those ones. I want her body to sorta be like that! Tall dark feathery shimmery body. I just think it'd be cool! Especially with Aphmau's whole wolf symbolism going on. After all, she's adopted by a werewolf and makes easy friends with wolves/dogs/werewolves. The Werewolf tribe sees her as "pup," and if you know anything about the symbiotic relationship between wolves/pups and ravens, you know EXACTLY where I'm going with this. Raven/corvid fae-elf Zoey with totally human with wolf qualities Aphmau.

Also, tell me that that doesn't just bring more opportunities for fun bonding!? Imagine mutual preening between the two! Imagine how sacred it'd be to touch anothers feathers, to be safe, comfortable, and TRUSTING of/with someone with such a sensitive part of you. Imagine them teaching Levin, Malachi, Garroth, and Laurance. There's so much that could be done with this! (And this is totally not to fuel my wing fic/au obsession...I'm normal, I swear.)

Okay, that's it for now! Thanks for indulging my nonsense, I'm back to the transcript o7

A new sculpture! Finally... I feel like I never sculpt anymore since I'm always sick or have some 500 other things going on or projects to finish, but I'm trying to schedule time to do it more often this year hopefully..! Just a generic fantasy creature as usual, but did try making the eyes a little more sparkly this time.. hrmm..

anyone know if we have isolate harder tomorrow

love nightmare i just kind of wish there was a soft heart Equivalent to her. the more instinctual/bestial nature of the soft heart princesses vs the more sterile supernaturality of the harsh heart ones etc...

[autisticlee]

sometimes people who struggle like to make jokes or find positives about their condition that causes them to struggle so they can escape the constant negative and struggle. sometimes autistic people will say things like "the 'tism" or use the "autism creature" or say their autism helped them have a *positive trait* to feel better about their struggles. because living your life only focusing on the struggles and negatives is depressing and makes it hard to want to live, even if those struggle take up 100% of your life and you can't actually escape them. sometimes any little seemingly positive thing can help a lot.

but there's so many other autistic people that hate when we do that and call it "reducing autism to a cute trendy thing" and say it takes away from *their* struggles and is bad and shouldn't be used. maybe *you* want to only focus on your struggles, but some people can't live in constant negative and need some positive or to find ways to make their condition more positive so they can feel better about living with their struggles. life is hard. I take anything I can get.

I cant get jobs. I can't make and keep friends. I can't get help and support for doing "normal" things so sometimes I go weeks without being able to shower and without eating more than a bowl of cereal a day. most times can't even do things I like. struggle to communicate. have meltdowns. i'll never be able to live independently. I struggle a lot. but instead of sitting here always depressed and having no motivation to live, i'd rather try to joke about "my 'tism is acting up again" when i'm struggling (just an example. don't think I ever actually used the 'tism thing but i saw others use it) or say "i'm just being a creature" when I need to stay in my dark room because everything is too much and I personally find it cute to be a little creature meant in a positive way. i'm not actually downplaying mine or anyone else's struggles. I still acknowledge them and that silly jokes dont make them go away. i'm not trying to be trendy. i'm not doing any of the things people say we do by making silly little jokes. i'm using the silly little jokes to convince myself life can be a little more than pointless, painful garbage all the time.

opened up instagram to find the most JAW-DROPPING pictures of Ranboo istg how are they so fucking PRETTY

[fizzyghosts]

Hywel is inspired by a mix of my issues with stories with nonhuman protagonist/about nonhumans becoming human AND vet posts ive seen warning people about the dangers of anthropomorphisizing animals. Its fine to joke about your pets doing things out of spite or other human emotions, it does put you at risk of not being able to read their body language correctly. Cats dont cry out of sadness, a cat crying, with actual tears streaming down its face, is a sign of a medical issue. A dog smiling isn't doing it bc its happy, it means its nervous. Not being able to spot these is bad, and sometimes even dangerous, for you and the animal.

If you never get past Hywel's human appearance and treat him like one its like getting a reactive dog, doing zero research or training, and then taking it to a dog park. If Hywel mauls someone in town then its on you.

Feel free to ignoring this ( pls don't), so as you're one of the few people that listen to what I have to say about speedsters, here are some of my negative speedster hcs:

People, in fact, don't realise how dengerous, and scary, speedsters really are until its too late.

- almost every one in this condiction suffers from delusions. Like the negative speed force telling Eobard that he is a monster and him beliving that with all his soul (he in fact is) and he can not change, so he must make Barry's life a living hell forever.( For Owen a see him have some mental problems like Jinx from Arcane).

- They commit antropophagy. As you know speedsters need to eat a lot, and having in mind that the negative ones are "crazy" and by nature they have a too strong predator instinct, i just gonna leave this info here....( really want to talk about this, but dont want to sound weird)

- they can mimic other peoples voices. Speaking is basically vibrating the vocal chords, so a speedster can imitate anyone, and remembering the last hc, they can use it as a hunting tecnic. ( just like those criptids or skinwalkers).

- sexual impulses. They can be predators in any meaning of the word, and they have enough intelect to make plans, and at some point they may want to setisfy an urge...( it dosen't mean everyone of them do that, but again, just saying)

-claptomaniacs. They dont steal things for its value, they steal stuff because it looks intresting for them, when they dont want it anymore they just throw it away.( That aplies to humans too, the speedster can kidnap a person, just because they liked something in that person, thats not necesarilly sexual, they can spend hours looking at that person or hearing them talk.)

And thats are the most things that worried me about speedsters, I don't fear them losing their mind and messing up the multiverse, I fear them if they lose their mind and start to hunting people in the woods, and in big ass Citys that dont mind if somebody desapered.

Thanks for reading ❤! Hope you finded that at least a little scary and realistic, I want to become a terror and body horror writer in the future. I know its dosent about your AU but I would like to share it with another Flash fan.

I am a Twane hater first and foremost, so-

Also, Kaliesuriens, henlo :D

But, let's chat about it, in points! But imma use my ver of Owen as the main silly guy--

I imagine Owen would defiantly let the speedforce take over his mind at first, he's obsessive over coming back, even when he's "back". He needs everything to be exactly how he wants it, and negative Speedforce feeds into it - "Yes, you are right. How could it happen? It had no right, you didn't allow it." type of stuff. A child, who is stripped of all the control it could have, would fight for it with nails and teeth.

I do wonder if they'd commit autosarcophagy (autocannibalism). Time for speedsters is a horrid thing, and with Owen? Owen, who was stuck in speedforce and suddenly left, hungry and bitter - too animalistic to care. I mean, he heals so quickly and it hurts only a little, the meat is so fresh, even if the hair sometimes gets annoying. I do imagine he does not care for rawness of meat- And if he finds humans harder to hide, to get in time? Well, the corpses of animals with marks of human nails ripping through their flesh and teeth marks that couldn't be any other animal's? But remember not to touch it- not to move it. Speedsters always come back to their last place of hunt. Obsessive little things.

Owen, now twenty-five, still sounding like the sacred eight years old. Boomer has nightmares of his blood-red eyes and his silhouette leaning above him - so skinny and yet grown. His body so unlike his baby son, yet the same voice calling for his dad, for his papa - "Please, da, what did I do? Why aren't you looking at me?" He wakes up sick to his stomach. Owen, angry how others get their parents, hiding in a forest and hunting one of the rangers, knowing that he has a young daughter. They have everything, her last birthday he took her to Disneyland, while she whined that it's not Disney World - how dare they? How dare she. Only two "dad, help!" and he's exactly where he needs him.

Speedsters, at all, have a strong sexual drive for me - I mean, they do not have to rest at all. Mixed with stronger instincts? Damn. When Owen is home, softer - tamer, it's not that big of a deal. Until Axel comes over with rogues, so loud and eye catching. They both are horrid for each other, but only one of them might end up with scars after their meetings. Pied Piper jokes about being attacked by a feral cat.

I just wanna mention - with Kleptomania, it's qualified under inability to control impulses (the stolen stuff has literally 0 value, some give it away some throw it away) or at least was! But also, I doubt speedsters feel the guilt and anxiety later. But it's still under the "lacking control over impulses" which I believe is common under the Speedster fam tree. I also want to say that even while Boomer's not a speedster/handmade speedster, I can imagine that he has Kleptomania on some lighter lvl. It's just not as common, but when it hits, it hits pretty hard. He usually ends up giving the trinkets or even bigger things to other rogues. They know about his little issue. When he learns that Owen also does so, he worries that it's biological, but Weather Wizard helps him to figure out that it's not actually the same. (biggest thing he took - a chair from the police station, left it in the nearest trash can. He believed back then that he wanted to do it and did it to prove to himself that he can. He learned around a month later that it's really not that.)

So ye, ofc I had to put some stuff about Boomer and Owen (a lot of stuff about Owen), but what can I do :'D

Thing with Speedsters hunting, especially in DC universe, they would blend in with everything. You hunt near Gotham? Few people disappearing a week is the norm, if you're good enough, no-one notices.

Also, they can vibrate through the walls - whatcha gonna do? Creature Owen seems fun, but imma stay with my normal Owen, especially since in his main surviving au it's Digger with the speed and he got his pop's great agility. (gonna @kaliesuriens bc last time it didnt inform ya)
