Ivy’s had enough of Janet’s lies. She’s dragging the mewling, near-dead Janet-from-HR into the woods and giving her what she deserves once and for all. If there’s anything left for either of them to say to each other…now would be the time Poison Ivy (2022) #38

oh to say the least I'm hype

“All Daenerys wanted back was the big house with the red door, the lemon tree outside her window, the childhood she had never known.” - George R.R. Martin, A Game Of thrones

I have always loved Dany’s character, she was my very first favorite when I read the book at 14 and still today she has a special place in my heart. It was very important to me to show how young she truly is, she is a child not the grown woman she is often portrayed as. She is a child with so much on her shoulders, so young, yet she strives to bring good in this world. And so, this is my tribute to her🩷

Fandom: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Character: Clea Dessendre Words: 100 Summary: Her anger is her grief. Drabble Challenge: Grief

A/N: This is my first story for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Even though it's a drabble, I thought it was a good way to introduce myself and my writing into this fandom. Hopefully, and I am planning a something, I get to push another one out soon.

Six Song Soundtrack OC Tag Game

Thanks so much to @optiwashere for tagging me in this! 💜

I'll tag (no stress, of course) @larissel @cellphishthekaiju @royals-sasha and anyone else that wants to do this!

It was hard picking just one song for each thing, I like so much music. I went through my playlists I have for Rana and tried to narrow down to just six songs for this.

Event that defines the character's past

MK Ultra - Periphery

Innocent babe, shall we corrupt at such a young age Conjure a laugh, conjure the tears amongst love Glass brain, it will project all of the spectrum Heart still but his infant hands are shaking now Start leaking all the thoughts on your mind What's yours is ours for the taking Take this bruise as a sign That we own you now and forevermore

Rana was raised on the surface in a circus, and the day their Dark Urge first manifested was utterly harrowing. A child, not even a full teen yet, who got blinded in the haze of red as anger and hatred bubbled over.

Rana unable to stop themselves from slaughtering the entire troupe, hands shaking, aghast in horror at the blood on their hands, trapped in their own mind as the Bhaalists closed in to take them into the cult against their will. Sceleritas Fel cheerily announcing their father's approval of their slaughter. The oppressive weight of realizing their life is not their own, they are Bhaal's puppet.

Rana had a Bad Time growing up, and the future instance of brain damage and amnesia is almost a blessing to free them from the haze in their mind.

How your character sees themselves

Until You're Reformed - Chevelle

You should ask for more Tired of being your no one Fame can hurt the soul You martyr, you child Leave This is not for real Forever pleasing someone The first at last begins You martyr, you child You martyr, you child

Rana doesn't exactly have good self esteem or a high opinion of themself, they're self-sacrificial to a fault, a martyr complex eager to self-flagellate in meager attempt to atone for the carnage they've caused. Masochistic and full of guilt.

A chronic people-pleaser, wanting to help everyone around them, putting other's needs before their own, as if that will make up for the blood on their hands. Rana wants to reform themselves, be a better person, put the needless bloodshed behind them.

Rana would gladly martyr themself if it meant saving others. A childish self-sacrificial bent that does not solve the core of their problems. Will they ever learn to care for their own well-being, let alone make their own goals outside of helping everyone else reach their goals in turn?

How others view them

Red - Mothica

Scared to go to sleep, hiding underneath There's a darker side of me I don't wanna meet Hanging by a thread, trapped in my head I'm spiraling out until all the poison fills my chest Helps me forget, 'cause I'll never learn 'til I see red No, I'll never learn 'til I see red Until I see the damage, there's no damage done Need a reason for me not to self-destruct You said it gets better, what if it never does? What kind of monster will I become?

Rana is frequently intimidating, especially when the red glow of their Dark Urge swirls in their vision. Their avoidance of themself and self-destructive habits don't go unnoticed. Their fear of going to sleep, using alcohol to numb the pain, their recklessness as they charge into battle alone in a veritable suicide mission.

Their closest companions worry for their well-being, and fear for the times when the Urge inevitably takes over. Those who knew Rana during their life in the Bhaalist cult only see them for the Red, for their Dark Urge and capacity for violence. The ones in the cult venerate their carnage, and those outside the cult may see them as a blood-thirsty monster. It's a long road ahead for Rana to dispel those prior views of themself for something capable of doing good. Rana wants to be a good person at their core.

Their closest relationship

Dangerous - Sleep Token

I wish I could have known that Look in your eyes would echo in mine and go back Out of my mind, across the line When was the last time I felt like this? Dark desire and tainted bliss It's like you're dangerous to me I notice every time we meet I feel the ground beneath my feet Giving way You've got me talking in my sleep As if you're conquering my dreams You have awakened what's beneath Again Well, I thought I could resist you But something in me just can't help but insist To blur the lines just one last time so When's the last time you tasted blood? And what will it take to stem the flood?

Rana is closest with Shadowheart, even though they have so much love to give and are happy to entertain relationships with nearly everyone in the party, it is Shadowheart that remains closest to their heart. Rana sees how the cult of Shar has hurt Shadowheart, and feels a kinship in their shared traumas and amnesia and overlapping experiences.

Shadowheart learns how to deal with Rana, Dark Urge and all, learns how to embrace the good and the bad. Shadowheart at first is avoidant, recognizes Rana is dangerous, but soon clings onto Rana to stay, while Rana is conflicted and wants to leave in order to protect Shadowheart. They both want to love each other even if that meant being at arms length. Though they don't want to be at arm's length, they want to be closer than they've been with anyone else.

Even with the danger of the Dark Urge, even with the danger of Shar refusing to let Shadowheart go, Rana and Shadowheart choose to stick with each other.

A major fight scene

Suffocate - Knocked Loose (ft. Poppy)

Eclipsing weight Strangled by every mistake Branded by all of your failures A feeling that you can't shake Eclipsing weight Shut your lying mouth Are you conscious behind the knife? It all comes crashing down Burdened by our connection I long for separation in the waning glow Every breath tries hard to escape Your reign is over now Have you found your grave? Suffocate I will dig until I find the fucking root I suffered because of you

The fight scene between Orin and Rana, within the Temple of Bhaal itself. It was a long time coming, even before Rana's amnesia and Orin's betrayal, they were at odds. They resented each other. Orin resented Rana's position of power and stole it for herself. Orin resented Rana finding companionship and tainted their ability to have future relationships by assaulting them and taunting them with her shapeshifting.

Even though Rana wanted an opportunity to forgive Orin, they never got that chance. Bhaal made sure of that. They fought against their Dark Urge while Orin was forced into the Slayer form. If anything, Rana pitied Orin, because she never got the chance to think for herself. Always a puppet, like Rana used to be. And Rana put her out of her misery, wondering if Orin was even the one fighting at this point, or just a meat suit controlled by Bhaal. Are you conscious behind the knife?

And if Rana ever has their way again, they will kill Bhaal himself and destroy his throne. I will dig until I find the fucking root, I suffered because of you.

End credits song

Son of a Serpent - Thank You Scientist

Tried to free my soul And an echo's all you heard All you heard Tried to free my soul Watch it fall to the wayside But I'm sure there's a place To bury the old me and start anew Tired of the things I put me through How much can I lose? Crash and burn Be prepared for consequence Tables turn Just make it up Make it up as you go As you go Don't care if it burns You just go

Rana decides they are done being Bhaal's puppet, done doing other people's dirty work, damn the consequences. They're no longer an assassin, no longer a cold-blooded murderer. For the first time in their life, Rana wants to live for themself, do things they want to do, that doesn't involve them needlessly taking another's life. Live with the knowledge of their past, deal with the memories coming back, but finally learn to not let them burden them down forever.

The world is open to them, a world of possibilities. Could they settle down with Shadowheart, or pursue a career with the Circus of the Last Days? Whatever lies ahead, being Bhaal's puppet will not be part of it anymore. It's time to start anew.

WIP WEDNESDAY

This is a wip for the next chapter of my durgetash long fic, "Missing Limbs" (I'll link the full fic)

Anyway prepare for some spice, and thank you for the tag @tynithia

The leather traces soft green skin, running up and down the supple flesh, as if it desired nothing more than to take a bite. "Pet, let's recount what brings you here."

Lord Enver Gortash smirked, his whip softly tracing the skin of his love Clarisse, her voluptuous tiefling body displayed on a cross, beside his throne. "Tell me why you are displayed so."

"I... I refused you.. you bastard." She spat out, there was once a time when she would grovel at his feet, eager to taste the whip. Not anymore. "I won't kill her.. or any of them." Her mind goes blank as the whip strikes, a hard shot on her upper thigh, coming dangerously close to her womanhood. "Thats a poor choice of words, my pet."

Gortash cups her cheek in his hand, his cold eyes staring into hers. Her eyes were once that cold, that cruel, but not anymore. "The selunite could never please you like me, please remember our fun my love, we ruled this city, a tyrant and his deranged princess." His lips come to meet Clarisse's red supple lips, she moans in discontent as he takes advantage of her, his hands grabbing a breast, and pinching the nipple harshly.

"It seems I'll have to break you my pet, and remake you in my image."

A new series starring my rook and antivan crow, Jalah De Riva!

Jalah De Riva tells her partner Taash about her life in the crows, including some very elaborate but true? Stories.

Some are simple and bloody, and some contracts may make her confront her sordid past. If one thing is for certain though, its that Jalah never, ever, fails a contract.

My first completed Dragon Age Fic!

"You mentioned before, if I was serious about this.. about us." Jalah stared at Taash, her eyes full of water, like a dam about to break. "I am.. I am serious, I think you are too, but I'm just still so scared, scared of waking up to an empty bed again."

Taash nodded, reaching out a hand to wipe the water from Jalah's eyes. "I don't get this nervous around someone I don't adore." Taash muttered, their arms wrapping around Jalah's small body. "To be honest, I was worried too, worried that I couldn't be enough for you. I mean I'm still figuring out who.. what I am, and you're always so confident, so prepared."

Laezel watches Twilight for the first time

[royals-sasha]

"Every day I fear I will lose you, and that I will forget what this feeling is. That I'll wake and not remember what love was."

Arilda contemplates leaving our world behind, her mind warped from a traumatic and abusive childhood. She ponders how Lae'zel and the others would react to her true self, not cute and bubbly, but a broken mess.

Lae'zel saves her from the eternal abyss, as their bonds are strengthened, and tears are shed.

This is an expoloration of my OCs particular brand of trauma, and a display of how Lae'zel fits her so perfectly.
