2023 FIRE FEST FUNDRAISER!!!

For the 7th annual Fire Fest, Succulent Tart is raising awareness for Safe In Our World!

The main goal of Safe In Our World is to create and foster a worldwide mental health awareness within the video game industry; to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health, to make it a natural topic of discussion, and to promote the dialogue surrounding mental health so people are not afraid to reach out for help if they need it. Safe In Our World also aims to assist people who don't suffer from mental health issues in understanding these afflictions as well as identifying symptoms, their signs, and any related challenges so they are better equipped to help others in a proactive and educated manner. If this intrigues you you are more than welcome to browse their main website for more information. Not only are there resources to find help, but there are listed podcasts, stories, as well as related games and apps that discuss mental health in video games!

To help raise funds for this cause, we are offering raffle tickers for a chance to win an art slot from a wonderful lineup of artists! Every £8 donated, which is about $10, gives you one raffle ticket, and you can accumulate as many raffle tickets as you want! But you can only win once!

Lingering

Jason Helsong was sitting quietly for a moment in the bedroom he shared with Jiroki Glaivefall, lost in his thoughts of a time passed. A time before the pair met, a time when he was known simply as Helsong, before he even met Juvia Frostseer who he shared a child with named Gwen. A different worgen, struggling to find where he belongs, living in Stormwind, trying to fit in. Helsong met a human woman, much like him, just trying to fit in, striking up a conversation on a bench in the park, she called herself Sia. That talk lasting for hours, which turned into meeting again another time, and again, the highlights of his days back then. Sia warning him not to fall in love with her, that she was a curse to whoever did, of course the warnings were ignored the more they saw of each other and he confessed his love for her. Eventually she herself confessing her love, making the feelings take root even deeper, trying to better themselves with each other. She trying to get over her feelings of being a curse, Helsong trying to convince himself people wouldn't be let down by him being himself. A promise made by Sia, "I promise you, that no matter what, that as long as you do your best. I'll never be disappointed in you. I promise that your best is enough." At the time, the sweetest words ever spoken to him, that promise giving him such a boost, a belief that maybe he could be accepted for what he had to offer. After some time that promise was broken, Helsong being told that she didn't love him anymore, that being the last he saw of her. To this day it still stings, something that stuck with him, a sting that was amplified when Juvia left as well. In the present Jason's face getting a look of pain, a feeling of doubt, Am I the cursed one? he thought to himself. A moment of weakness, one that brought tears to his eyes as the thought lingered. Then the bedroom door opens, Jiroki comes in, "Dinner is ready, all the kids are-" she pauses as her dark eyes look at him, quickly noticing his demeanor as he turned towards her, "A-are you ok my darling?" Jason clearing his throat and sitting up straighter, "Yeah, yes, I'm ok, just um..allergies you know." a terrible liar especially with Jiro. "Uh huh.." Jiro crosses the room to him, a hand reaching out to comb through his hair, "Well dinner is ready and our children are hungry, come and eat." leaning down to kiss his forehead. With that those thoughts were gone, the warm feeling of Jiro's affection replacing the sting of the past as she turns to saunter out the door. "Hey..I love you Jiro~" he said with a smile. Jiro stopping and turning towards him, her smile stretching the scar on her cheek. "I love you too Jason~" she chuckled, "Now come eat! I'm hungry too!" Jason chuckling and starting to stand up, following her as he quickly rubbed his eyes, making their way to the kitchen where they joined their loving family. (mentioned @bread-elf)

Nearing the end of the rave jiro was grinding against a dracthyr, stranger or not.

Spill the tea.

Squints a little at the address, then hums, "Well when I left the rave Jiro was dancing with Cal..Calrygos to be exact. That's the only dracthyr we've been around, besides a very tall postman dracthyr that had a letter. Cal's a friend that was with us most of the Faire, the poor dracthyr almost died to Corta's death noodles! Made us all worry! I still have some songs stuck in my head from the rave though, Jiro is starting to give me looks whenever I start to hum them. I hope she's not becoming annoyed." Starts to hum tekkno train again. (Thanks for the ask @4windstradeco) (Mentions @bread-elf Calrygos (I don't know if they have a tumblr))

[jasonhelsong]

Juicy rumor going around that sometimes instead a of worgen, he shifts into a kitten

Blinks as he reads the ask, "Well I mean in a sense, yes, I'm no stranger to turning into a cat. A large cat though, I suppose if you count when I was younger it was a kitten.." hums for a moment. "This is a deeper question than I thought originally. Presently, no, I do not turn into a kitten. Maybe with a little practice I could again though!" (Thanks for the ask @laceandhalos!)

[jasonhelsong]

📖 for what my muse would write about yours in their diary.

Starts sweating "An ask from Phe...THE PHE..I mean it's not the first time but still, easier to answer when the question isn't involving you directly!" Sits up straight and tries to compose himself "Well..I mean if I was going to write something about you..not saying I have..It would probably be something like" Pheonix spoke to me again, it's been a good while since I've been working with the tarts, we all talk a good amount of course, but Phe still makes me nervous. Not in a bad way mind you, she just has this presence around her, it's a little intimidating and comforting at the same time. Once she told me she'd protect me if I needed it and I believe her, like many of the tarts she's equally as sweet. "I mean...something like that anyway, you get the idea right? Right." Still sweating.

(Thanks for the ask @chothulu!)

💌 for a letter my muse would write to yours. 📫 for a letter my muse would write about yours to a third party. 📨 for a text my muse would send to yours.

Hums for a moment as he sees the asks, shaking his head with a chuckle. "I think you would know most of this but I'll happily respond, reminds me when we first started seeing each other and sent notes back and forth. For the first, a letter I would write to when you've been working for days."

Jiro my love, I miss you every moment, having the kids around makes it easier because I see you in them. I hope you're staying safe, and in one piece, or at least trying your best to, if not I'll have the first aid and a loving hand to tend to you when you return. I eagerly wait your return, I'll try not to bug Estal too much if she's heard from you. Love Helsong. PS- I found another bag for you.

"Yeah that seems about right, close to it anyway, as for the second part..I'm not entirely sure. I mean there is a couple of people that I might possibly be writing to about Jiro, let's see.."

Nevati, I know you don't like reading too much, but it's been a while since we've seen you! Jiro and I miss you! She's become one of the best parts of my life as well as the kids, I hope you get to the chance to come by, they're getting so big and it's been so great seeing how Gwen has been opening up to her. We'll save you a spot at the table! Helsong ....(Mr. Cat)

"That's probably too many words for Nevati, but she'd get the point, gushy words about Jiro not unlike other times I've talked to her face to face about you." Clears his throat a bit "For the last one..a text to Jiro, hmm." Smirks a little

New text from Helsong:

Dinner was good, lets put the kids to bed for dessert ;)

"And with that they're all answered and I have to go see what you are up to now!" (Thanks @bread-elf for the ask!)

February Daily Writing Challenge: Day 5 Ambition/Relentless

After the defeat of the Jailer, before Tournament of Ages: Shadowlands

Late one evening at Jiroki Glaivefall's estate, where after some time and discussion she allowed Jason Helsong to move in with him. The Kaldorei woman and Human man afflicted with the Worgen curse started sharing more of their lives, even performing together in a few shows. Jason spending this night in the large barn that housed some hippogryphs. Working on an act they planned on doing for the Tournament of Ages, easily being one of the biggest shows they've performed in to date.

I have to get this right, Jason thought to himself as he looked up at the silks hanging from the rafters, he had been out practicing since him and Jiro had put the kids to bed. Bits of straw hung to his hair as he started to wrap the cloth around his arms again, lifting himself up. He started climbing further up the silks, reaching out to where Jiro would be as they would begin their spin, his anchor foot slipping and starting to fall, spinning out of the silks and landing on his back on the straw below.

"Shit.." he let out frustratedly as he stared up at beams and the loft above him, sitting up a bit slower this time. Maybe it was falling again or the hour getting later that made him groan, behind him though, there was the sound of someone clearing their throat.

"Darling it's late, come to bed and we'll practice tomorrow." Jiroki stood, the tall lavender skinned elf wearing her night robe as she stood at the barn door. Jason sighed as he started to pull himself up again, hanging on to the silks as he does.

"I need to get the hang of this, it's the biggest event we've been in-" Jason's arms wrapping in the silks again, "I don't want to make you look bad." Jiroki narrowed her eyes a bit at the man.

"I am not concerned about you making me look bad, you haven't before and you won't when the day comes." Jiroki moved from the door and crossed the floor to him, reaching a hand out to pick some straw from his hair. Jason looked into Jiroki's eyes getting little butterflies as he often did looking at her.

"I..just worry love, what if I mess up?" Jason letting go of the silks for the moment, Jiro shrugged.

"Then you mess up darling, no one will know and we go on. I will still love you regardless~." leaning over, brushing his hair from his forehead and kissing it gently. Jason's cheeks turned red for a moment, kissing against Jiroki's cheek.

"You sure it won't change your mind?" he smirked a bit, Jiroki rolling her dark eyes.

"I won't as long as you come with me now." she giggled softly and reached for his hand, "You need a bath~". Jason smiled sweetly at her and took her hand.

"You have a way of offering things hard to resist." he started to move with her, "Ok...but we practice twice tomorrow!...and more baths~" he teased as they went to put out the lights and close up the barn.

February Daily Writing Challenge: Day 4 Influence

Before the defeat of the Jailer, Shadowlands

Gwen and Cylliah played on the floor with some blocks and other toys, the two toddlers babbling and unable to stack the blocks. Gwen is human, a head full of hair pulled into little pigtails that match the same shade of dirty blonde as Jason Helsong, with icy blue eyes that belong to her mother. Cylliah is Jiroki's own youngest child, wearing a beanie cap as she hasn't had any hair grow in yet, though the pointed ears and silver eyes could only belong to the Kaldorei woman standing off in the kitchen.

"You know they're going to be spoiled completely right?" Helsong taking a sip of his orange juice, Jiroki looking over her shoulder towards the man in his human form.

"You have started spoiling them already, I wouldn't be surprised." she snorted a bit. Helsong furrowing his brow as he set down his glass.

"I've done nothing of the sort! Just a couple of stuffed animals is all.." feeling Jiro's eyes cut towards him, "...Ok more than a couple." he relented as Jiro laughed.

"You keep bringing more here and I'll have to remodel the house." she finished up the dishes setting them up to dry, turning towards Helsong, "Ok. I've done my chores, now stop staring and go do yours." Helsong stuttered a bit from being called out.

"I-..I was staring but respectfully~" he said with a grin as he started to stand up. Jiro rolling her dark eyes playfully.

"Uh huh.." giggling a little, "Do you need me to show you where the chicken feed is again or do you have it?" Helsong shook his head, moving over to kiss her softly.

"You've shown me plenty and already did your share this morning, it's my turn." he said with a warm smile. Jiro looking down at him, smile stretching the scar on her cheek.

"If you need anything, yell." she said as Helsong started to move towards the hall to go out, giving his butt a slap. Helsong stopping to smirk at her.

"<You're going to pay for that later~>" speaking to Jiro in her native tongue, Jiro grinning even wider.

"<Promise?~>" she giggled, then waving Helsong off, "Now get to work!" Helsong snorted, grinning happily as he went to kiss Gwen and Cylliah's cheeks, then set out of the house.

February Daily Writing Challenge: Day 3 Consequence

Sometime after joining Everwind-

Helsong sat quietly at the kitchen table of his home, the day already long started from the sounds filtering in from outside, The Port of Everwind moving at it's usual pace, ships coming in, people yelling various orders, other yelling to sell their wares. Helsong sat staring at a note left on the kitchen table, one he had read already but reached out to pick up again in hopes that the words changed.

Hel-

I'm sorry, I'm so very sorry. I have to leave, we've moved too fast. I wasn't ready for all this! I thought I was, I know I asked you, but I was wrong. I'm going to be working for the Exchange remotely. Gwen will be safe, loved and taken care of.

-Juvia

Helsong set down the letter, slumping back in the chair, the months Juvia and him were together flew by, just as quickly they found out she was pregnant. They hadn't even settled on a place to live together, the pace they were moving never discussed. Now Helsong sniffled, rubbing at his eyes a bit, drying his tears. Pushing himself up from the table finally, cleaning up the kitchen and getting ready to go to work.

February Daily Writing Challenge: Day Two- Opportunity

Years ago in Port Everwind-

"Have you ever worked around a port before, Mr.." spoke Ithelien Summersong head of the Everwind Exchange, the Ren'dorei barely lifting her gaze from her documents to acknowledge the Worgen seated across the desk from her.

"H-Helsong, Ms Summersong." he swallowed nervously, hands fidgeting along his suit, "I haven't, I mean I've lived in Stormwind my whole life but I, well I haven't worked the dock." laughing a little nervously.

"Ithelien I insist." a bit of a bite in her short response, eyes cutting towards him and measuring him a bit. "Helsong, it seems rather suspicious that you'd suddenly want to work a port, let alone my port."

"Well Ms-" Helsong paused almost biting his tongue, "I-Ithelien, I was told that your company was more than just port work, that there'd be opportunities to go on adventures, artifacts to hunt, steady work." Sitting up a bit straighter as he lifted his head "I just need a bit of a new start and my time put to good use."

"Hmph.." Ithelien pushed back from the desk and standing up, "Well you did journey here with a couple of my employees, one of which I trust explicitly. They tell me you're a druid, using your ways to scout the way for them, yes?" Helsong's head tilting up more, the Ren'dorei being taller than he imagined.

"Oh, yes, I was able to fly up and figure out where we needed to go from Nevati's landmark details. Even found an oasis for us to rest at for one evening." smiling a bit proudly, Ithelien's expression not changing.

"Tell me Helsong, are you able to blend in well? I've worked with some druids before, a couple of them are still employed, miraculously, mostly because I have such a big heart." she said with a smile stepping around the desk. "However with some of my...charitable work I need those with a knack of not being seen." Helsong leaning his head to the side a bit as he looked at her.

"I grew up in..I mean I'm used to having to blend in Ithelien, I've found that people are a bit more welcoming when I shapeshift." he said as he shrunk back into the chair a bit, pulling his legs up as he starts to shift into the form of a large brown cat, shaking his head once fully transformed and sat nicely on the chair. Ithelien smirked with a little chuckle.

"Yes..that might do, as long as whomever is around isn't overly observant." she sighed, then groaned, "It's hard to resist that face though..Very well." she walked back around her desk and sat back down. "Consider yourself employed, but be ready to go at my beckon call, I like my workers punctual!" Helsong grinned, the best he could at the moment anyway, then furrowed his brow.

"W-wait what am I going to be doing though?" Ithelien already started to pick through papers on her desk again.

"Whatever I have for you Mr. Cat, now please, go find yourself a empty house and introduce yourself to our crew." she said as she made a shooing motion with her hand. Helsong looked puzzled, but started to get up, changing back into his worgen form.

"Thank you for the chance Ithelien." he said with a slight bow, Ithelien making another shooing motion as she went back to her work. Mr. Cat? he thought to himself, shrugging a bit as he went to exit the office and start a new chapter in his life.
