Cold and Spectre Time!!!! matchy scar buddies and they both murdered my blue alcohol markers (if u see a medium change in the upcoming voices no u dont mind yo bidness /j)

Cold:

Avian - Largest wings next to Hero

He/they/it - mostly doesnt care, only keeps he because of LQ

Lower body temperature - technically not a power as it causes more problems then not but it does mean he can play dead real easy

Woke up ouside a crypt in the snow, and old man found him and gave him the good old man wise vague words abt avoiding that place which cold promptly ignored (and stole the mans coat, what cold was freezing)

since LQ chose to walk out of the cabin w the princess cold decides thats what he should do to, still subconsciously stuck in the "decider makes the decisions" mindset

But spectre cant stay in his body for long cuz aforementioned lower body temp so they drag themselves to the nearest building. An old library of some sort

Cold and her find a shared love of books and mythology and Lethe picks her name when theyre reading abt after lifes and stuff

Spectre Lethe

Once human, now a ghost - ghosts are usually just strong memories, souls leave behind impressions of themselves when they pass, and a stronger impression on a place can cause a ghost. Most arent sentient and need a living host to leave their space. Lethe is a .... special case

She/they - who needs gender when ur dead! tho she does fine feminity more fun

Freezing Touch and Possession. She also can become Wraith like but becomes incredibly volatile while in that state

Lethe learns she can possess objects and takes a liking to possessing a book abt myths to the underworld or to the afterlife. Cold promises to carry it with him as they go look for the others, a journey is more interesting with someone else

her outfit is inspired by vintage nightgowns and silky robes

both share similar scares that weirdly shift like LQs threads

And their Playlist:

Razor and Cheated my platonic power couple. i love them theyre best friends and they hate each other its great

Cheated:

Avian - Wings have been chopped so he cant fly, not that he probably could have since his wings woulda prolly been too small to do so

He/they/she - genders a crock of shit anyway, might as well make the most of it

Crazy durable and stamina, all of this is balanced by bouts of chronic pain that ebbs and wanes from his chopped wings. shes taught some good pain management by mortal denizens of the new world they find themselves in

speaking of, razor and cheated were the first to meet other people (besides cold but i dont know if you can count a old man cold didnt talk to) A caravan helps them out when razor convinces them to help Cheated when theyre having extreme pain. the two travel w them for a while before breaking off to find the others

at first wants nothing to do w razor, she had done nothing but kick his ass in the construct and is constantly being unsettling to him. they ditch her and get abt a day before he is attacked by animal and needs her help. hes surprised by her reaction to him leaving and decides mb it would be best to keep her around... and shes not soooo bad... some times its fun

calls her ray which it finds that adorable so it allows him

she also becomes talented at parkour after they both meet up w some of the others to make up for his inability to fly

Razor "Ray"

What is know by mortal denizens as an "Abomination" - a manifestation of deceit and violence. they usually look like people just enough for a person to get close before devolving into some kind of weaponized monstrosity, somwthing made of blades or projectiles or blunt force weapons. they cant talk and dont have any sentience beyond seeking out and hurting people. Razor is another special case. Definitely freaks people out over how life like she is

Blade summon - when she summons or becomes blades she doesnt bleed, instead its slate colored skin splits open to reveal red fleshy bits that are for the most part dry. the bits that hang will wilt off and the blade or blades will meld into her body again. She has the most control over her powers next to Prism

She/It - She doesnt really care but since cheated told it that they call her the Razor which is an object she thinks its a little fitting that she might be less of a person

her person hood is complicated, so her feelings towards others are also complicated. She knows that it wants cheated to stay around her but she doesnt really feel like keeping him safe all that much. or anyone safe. it does feel a bit jealous when other people try to hurt him cuz "hey thats my job"

shortly after they get out the well, cheated manages to ditch her. this is when she starts to realize, she fucking hates being alone. in the contruct its always been the two of them, it never cared abt leaving because she didnt need anything else. it had him and they had her and she had so much fun. and then cheated left. and for the first time ever in her one track mind she was scared . she went after him. tracked them and saw him get attacked by an animal and just acted first. it killed the creature and held their hand and demanded they not leave her again. it couldnt cry as an abominayion but she certainly felt like it. cheated realized there was more to her than before and agreed

of their travels cheated and her do become friends and there is some attraction there both ways, however razor doesnt really feel drawn to a romantic or overlly serious relationship (can u tell im making her aromantic? yes? good?) cheated respects it

also she calls cheated variations on his name like "chet" "cheddars" "checkers" etc cuz it both annoys them and because giving people knicknames is fun

her fave color is also pink!

in honor of the current voice of the sexyman competition going on ive decided to post my skeptic and prisoner designs first (not in the comp but enjpying the shenanigans)

I have a (very self indulgent) post canon au of the voices and vessels where they all wake up in narators universe that was dying but now isnt (or at least not as quickly as when nara died before the construct) they wake up in abandoned places that mostly fit with their paths themes sooo:

Skeptic -

Avian Race - its been a long time since anyone seen an Avian so when a voice walks around they get a lot of stares

He/they - hes thinking abt it okay??? what is gender? they dont know but hell be damned if he doesnt get to the bottom of it (he wont)

Knack for lie detection, not quite magic but definitely not mundane

colors based on nightjars and tabby cats!

doesnt smoke, just found the cigar in the sheriffs desk and now its like a stim toy

Gave Prism her name after she admitted to being frustrated with just being "the Princess" or "the Prisoner", Skeps feels a tad guilty over how his (LQ) perception of her made her a prisoner and that forced her to take extreme measures on herself (such as beheading)

Prisoner Prism

Human, Mage - Humans are still pretty common (for a given nature of common in the post apocolypse) but mages arent.

She/her - shes pretty settled on gender theres far more interesting things out there (also she overs skeps refer to her as the "missus" once and shell never admit it but she swooned on the inside sshhhh)

Lie detection and Summon Chain - while shell eventually learn new spells with time her first and inate spell is to summon weaponized chains

colors and design is cool and business formal because she not abt any nonsense. Her hair is pin straight out of the braid and her collar hides the scar from chopping her head off

the sheriffs badge is from the Ghost Town, she keeps it as a reminder of her new life

With her new life separated from Shifty she is avid abt making her own sense of self, to be unique and more than what LQ made her to be (tho she doesnt wholey blame him considering she now knows how shifty worked)

the AU is v similar to Living Like Heathens by @salty-an-disco which is phenomenal u should check it out on AO3 - that said i think the world building vibe is a little more post apocolypse road trip. idk something like that - like high fantasy/steampunk meets last of us but without the zombies (or at least the zombies arent the big deal here)

oh also! i have a playlist for them now:

Make sure you don't accidentally punish people for communicating their needs and boundaries. When someone cares enough to have the uncomfortable conversation, that's a compliment and a clear sign that they are invested in the relationship. Yes of course it's uncomfortable to hear that something you've been doing has been upsetting someone you care about when that was never your intention, but people generally only bother to have these conversations with the people they want to keep around - the people they trust to care. If they just didn't like you, they'd probably just try to avoid you. So make sure you don't make it into a more punishing experience than it has to be. Try to see the care and the trust behind the criticism, even when it triggers uncomfortable emotions. It's a good sign that they're there telling you.

Mammu! Finius and Ferbingetorix built Rome in a day!

[disheveledapathy]

The Princess x K-pop demon hunters au With Damsel, Heart and Prisoner

and The Saja Voices

They are pretty much being forced into fighting generations of hunters by the Narrator, all of them are controled souls in debt that where previously human. (Quiet of the real king for them, but he has been trapped by the Narrator as leverage)

*Skeptic and Cheated are the only non-idol ones, being mannager and agent respectively

My fellow bitches under 5'5. Whatever the money, do not take a job working at a middle school. A fellow adult tried to put me in detention last month and would NOT give up until I showed her my badge proving Yes, The School Hired Me To Work Here. It's not meant for people our height.

Fanfic tiktok is wild... I see so many people saying shit like "I could never read anything below 60k!!", or "What story can you even tell in under 5k words?" or "A oneshot below 10k isn't even a story!" or "I always filter completed fics by 100k< only!"

And I'm like...

A) which fandoms are you reading fics for where you have this kind of offerings on the regular?

B) have you heard of short stories? If you truly think every story NEEDS to be longform to connect with people, I sincerely feel sorry for you.

C) Average novel length is between 50k to 100k. I'm sorry, but CONSISTENTLY demanding fic writers to push out fics of that length is insane. Just think about it: YOU DEMAND AUTHORS TO PUT OUT FICS THAT COMPARE TO COMMERCIAL NOVELS IN LENGTH (AND QUALITY) AS A BASELINE.

Yall are wilding.
