#/trau requests

[traumxrei-archive]

question: would anyone mind if i were to delete like half of my 600 followers event requests ?

i've written almost 10 now and i nOw realize what a behemoth of a task it is to write 40 ficlets T^T i think i'll cut it down so the total will be 25 instead of the actual 40,,,,,15 more fics seems more doable than 30 *cries* (dEfinitely going to keep this in mind for the next time i open events)

i'm also doing this bc i want to open up general requests ++ other events for the future and at this rate i'm gonna be stuck on the 600 followers requests for a while, so,,,,this was the best solution i could come up with TT^TT

i'm so sorry for all those who have been waiting, since this event has literally been around since april— but i think this'll be the best way to go about it :'))))

A/N: Hi! Thank you! You're all good with the requesting, don't worry. Spoilers. Reader is one of those cymbal monkeys (like the one from Toy Story). I am making a fic for this also! It's separate as I may want to make it a series. So technically, the following will be spoilers for that, but you're free to read it anyway.

You were messing around on your computer that day. Coming from a relatively wealthy family, your mother and father owned a tech repair business. People would often sell their seemingly broken and useless old technology to them for them to repair. As such, you sometimes got things yourself as gifts.

Your most prized gift of these was an old 90's computer. It was jankier and slower than most, yes, but you cherished it. After all, where else were you going to get an authentic computer by the C&A corporation from the 1990s?

Another prized possession of yours was your newest find at a garage sale. Neighbourhood rumors had it the lady that owned the house's husband was a higher up for C&A itself, and was getting rid of all his old things so she could move on. But she never explained the origins of any of the belongings to anyone.

At that garage sale you had found a CD-ROM game titled The Amazing Digital Circus. As the lady explained, her husband had informed her it was an experimental game designed to bring back retro tech through modern add-ons. For this game, the add-on was a virtual reality headset.

You snatched the game and headset up as fast as you could. Immediately after arriving home, you went to your room to try it out. Apparently, it was only playable with the headset. So, loading the CD-ROM into the computer, you put the headset on and booted up the game.

Next thing you knew you were in the midst of Caine's activity for the day: a classic circus show of course involving the people's traumas. There was screaming and crying and all manner of horrible, confusing things. You felt sick--and were sick--when the group finally found you off to the side of the stage.

Being only a teenager, Ragatha decided to take you under her wing even more than she did with Pomni. Your new body was confusing; being a cymbal monkey, it was hard to work out how you could hold things without proper fingers or palms. And that's where Gangle came in.

Gangle, being made of ribbons and two masks, helped you out immensely when it came to adjusting to your new body. She shared her own experiences with coming to the digital world and how scary it was for her. But she also offered comfort in how she was able to get through it (or, at least keep her sanity somewhat).

Ragatha's always there for you if Jax is being a jerk. Depending on your exact age, his jerkiness will decrease to certain levels. But he's still a jerk nonetheless, no matter what stage of teenager-hood you're at. And Gangle's there for you, too, though she's often struggling with Jax herself and needs support.

I headcanon Gangle writes down everything she remembers about herself in a diary, and she's happy to get you one too. She knows how horrible it can be to forget things, and encourages you to start writing before it's too late. She's actually very interested in your life; I don't think she was dirt poor but I don't think she was super rich either, so meeting someone who comes from a wealthy family is a nice change.

When it's finally time for another circus activity, Ragatha and Gangle are there for you. They both struggle with facing their traumas themselves, so they know how hard it's going to be for a newcomer, let alone a teenager. Ragatha assures you that you'll be safe and fine afterwards, while Gangle gives you a hug and a shoulder to cry on when it's done.

Being the youngest member (AKA a literal teen), you do get babied by Ragatha a bit. She just does that to teens and kids! She's not exactly a cool person, as much as she tries to be. But she is sweet, and she'll take good care of you, even if it means you get treated like a child during it. She won't baby-talk you or anything, but she'll sometimes over-explain things or be a bit too happy-go-lucky and optimistic when it's clear you just want her to be realistic.

Gangle likes to partake in your interests if they are on the more creative side. If they're not, as long as they're not too wild she'll go along; she's just particularly fond of drawing and whatnot. She gives you a confidence boost by reminding you there are people who you can connect with who will support you.

In the end, these two just want to be there for you. Through thick and thin until the abstraction of you all, you'll be there for each other. When you're crying or upset, you'll be there for each other. And when you're laughing and enjoying yourselves, it'll be together.

Just ignore Jax for the most part.

hello shopkeep !! long time no see on the dashboard !!! i hope that you're having a fantastic valentine's dayyyy 💐

for the valentine's reqs, could i request leona kingscholar drabbles + secret admirer ? candy heart flavored pleaseee, tysm for your wonderful writing in advance <3333

Aww, it's good to hear from you again, Trau. I'm always lurking around if you ever wanna chat! I love hearing from mutual writers! But without further ado, I hope you enjoy your candy heart. 💘 -Shopkeep

Valentine Event: Secret Admirer

It wasn’t hard to miss you really. With your hurried footsteps and the scent that lingered by Leona’s favorite napping spot. There, innocently sitting in the dappled sunlight that rushed past the trees of the greenhouse was an offering. Modestly packaged in brown wrapping paper tied with twine was a gift. Attached was a card, lightly speckled with flecks of golden ink and a single flower stamped under a wax seal. Leona could instantly recognize the flower as so many of them could be found dotting the more rural landscape of his home. Goldenrod. He flicked open the card, finding that same golden ink scrawled across the card.

“To Leona, from a secret admirer.”

He had to stifle a snort at the cheesy words. Though that did not stop his curiosity. He pulled at the twine and unceremoniously ripped at the paper to reveal the gift’s contents. Inside he saw a pre-packaged sandwich that looked to burst with all sorts of meats and sauces that would make any carnivore salivate. He recognized the enticing meal as it was a rare find in the town that even Ruggie couldn’t manage to snag. Beside it, an assortment of more humble objects were laid. Handmade hair ties, bracelets, and a thin chain necklace with a curling golden lion. Leona held the necklace up to the warm light, almost as if letting it bask in the sun’s heat as he did. It glinted back at him and the beastman found a smirk curling on his lips.

He looked back in the same direction you had escaped into. He didn’t know whether to scoff at your foolishness or arrogance to think he wouldn’t see you.

“Dumb herbivore. You should know better than to feed wild beasts,” he tossed the necklace up and caught it firmly in his palm. “Or else, they’ll keep coming back for more.”

"Yes, I've been brokenhearted"? 👀

Yes, I've Been Brokenhearted (Blue Since The Day We Parted) WAS a funny fic in the Teenage Rebellion AU about Inquisitor Aayla's attempts to get her boyfriend CC-5052 put in her division of Purge Troopers, told through increasingly irate and threatening transfer request forms (and the replies from the exhausted imperial intern handling them.)

but then, as the TRAU is wont to do...

it got angsty.

So now it's about Aayla's escape from Order 66 and eventual Fall, and the silly fic is gonna be, like, a bonus chapter 2 or something. Anyway here's a snippet of the very beginning!

Aayla had an instant of warning; a single heartbeat when the Force screamed in more ways than one. Then Bly was shooting at her. All of her troops were shooting at her. Bewildered, reeling and half-blind in the Darkness closing in on her, Aayla whipped her blade in a frantic circle, deflecting the first four shots away. Away, but not back at her troops. Not back at Bly. The shots kept coming, deadly blue flashes that she blocked faster and faster. The threads of the Force were fraying around her; thin bonds with childhood friends snapped like old rubber bands, and she felt light after light go out. Whatever was happening here—whatever was turning her men against her—it was happening everywhere. Ten thousand candles snuffed out with a flood of icy Darkness. The only lights left were the blaster bolts coming at her from her own men. Itchy beads of sweat trickled down the small of Aayla’s back as she dug her heels into the fertile Felucia soil. The clones were in front of her and the plants were behind her and the ground was beneath her and the only way to go was up. Aayla jumped.

A list of my TTRPG OCs

Here's a bunch of them for reference if you ever want to send asks!

You can also find them with way more detail over on Toy.House!

Kesk Amanita (they/them) is a nonbinary minotaur cleric of the god of Plague & Outcasts. They survived a horrible magical disease with no known survivors at a very young age, losing their parents in the process, and were raised in the extremely remote mountaintop quarantine temple by the head of the religious order there, alongside his half-orc child Jukha. They are demi-romantic, asexual, intersex, and have vitiligo.

Reverence Trouble Malephar (he/him, yes the T does stand for Trouble) is an ex-mafia private eye. He is also a "paladin" of the same deity of Plague & Outcasts as Kesk, though they're from very different settings. I often use Trouble or Trubs to denote his younger mafia self from his older self, who I refer to as Reverence or Rev. He had a bad experience when he tried to skim money off his mafia grift and ended up getting his boyfriend and their team killed in front of him. He also had a girlfriend who disappeared after that and he finds out much later that he has twin kids with her: a daughter named Adventure and a (trans) son named Confidence. Reverence is cis, bi, and polyam.

Aeron Merla (he/him) is a Kenku Revenant and a rogue/warlock. He lived in the city of Avon's Keep and was a member of the local crime family (Cosa Corax) and the oldest of 14 kids. He was murdered by assassins from a rival group (Cosa Noctua). He was found and brought back by a creature called the Nachtraven, a generally malevolent fragment of the kenku deity The Raven Queen. He ran away from home to try and find a way to fix this because it's generally anathema to the worship of The Raven Queen to refuse death, but he still wants to live. He's kept alive by a small eye-parasite that the Nachtraven implanted in his slit throat. Aeron is cis and gay.

M'rai Scourgemaw (she/her) is a gnoll wild-soul barbarian. She was raised as a fighter to help out in the Three Scars War on behalf of a kingdom-state neighboring her homeland. She helped lead a group of trained mercenaries known as Blood Battalion, specializing in fighting magic-users. She was nearly killed by an immense major backlash in a fight and was left behind to heal by the Battalion. They never came back and the war finished while she was recovering, leading to her becoming her own merc and eventually getting arrested and thrown in jail. From there she escaped during a dragon attack, helped stop a coup that would restart the war, and discovered that she has a wellspring of raw wild magic within her now. Also she reconnected with the Battalion and her old flame, Amaranthe. M'rai is cis and gay.

Sidewinder (they/them & he/him) is a Yeremy Copperhead. The Yeremy are a culture of people indigenous to the continent of Ush'dvania, the home of the ancient Witch Kings. Yeremy wear masks to hide their true selves from strangers, so Sidewinder is almost never seen without his mask when around other people. Copperheads are alchemist-assassins and masters of poison and shadows. Sidewinder grew up wandering from place to place helping their mother with spirit-work and healing. They grew fascinated with magic and poisons and eventually moved to Ironwood, a small town on the frontier of the wastes, to set up a home and attract the attention of the Copperheads to earn the right to request membership. He has since: raided the secret warehouses of the powerful Havlan Trading Company at least 3 times, destroyed the entire Strychnine Syndicate's presence in Ironwood, unleashed a still-living Witch King, made friends, started dating the town deputy, and stuck his originally-normal arm in so much magic that eventually it had to be fully rebuilt.

Otylia Byalas (she/her & they/them) is a Trau Stitcher. The Trau are the fourth indigenous group from Ush'dvania and the only one that doesn't wear masks as a cultural practice. Or at least not physical masks; they culturally respond "I am but a humble [x]" to any particularly probing questions. Otylia and her fathers used to be just as nomadic as Sidewinder and his mother, and the two groups ran into each other fairly often on their travels, becoming friends. Otylia and Sidewinder dated briefly as teens, before deciding to remain as friends only. Otylia moved to a major city to attend medical school, and while there ran into trouble after turning to a life as a resurrectionist in order to properly gain experience. She fled to Ironwood and took up an apprenticeship under Doc Huxelby, becoming the medic on Sidewinder's team and helping him out with a little magi-medical problem as well.

we coin things mainstream blogs are afraid of due to ed, sh and trauma related topics. This blog is also focused on members of the UGSC, and the DG/TGSC. More of a "the homies will get it" blog. If youre passing by because we forgot to censor something and not through a link we gave, quietly leave.

Run by two beings, though the OG owner wrote this pinned (Ash). Requests are taken here, nothing against system origins, contradictory identities, fellas age incongruence for whatever reason, or standing with MAPs/AAMs, pro-contact paraphilias, or proship. I will trigger tag those things ++ the usual.

For those who do not know of the traumaground, refer to the post below made by fellow moderator of this account, Mimitsuki !

[invinciblerodent]

For the "Get to know the OC asks", with Arvid: 5 and 9?

Aw, thank you! ❤️ (I've not been able to play for a few days and I've been thinking a lot about him, so have a phone-typed rant ❤️)

(after my new PC gets here, I'll definitely make Iona and Petyr as well. Really excited about them, and about finishing- and then replaying this guy, with better screenshots and maybe even gifs ❤️❤️❤️❤️)

(btw, I think I'll age him up from 35 to 45-50, just because I think it fits better, and as a dwarf, it doesn't affect his appearance lol.)

5. Does your OC have a signature weapon and/or attack? How long did they train to master it?

So as a cleric of Tempus who was essentially born into the role, he's been training pretty much his entire life- just about since he could first pick up a weapon. And while he's comfortable with a number of styles (martial weapons, heavy armor), as it is for many clerics, his weapon of choice is the mace and shield. (To the tune of "Juke Box Heroes", Blunt! Force! Trau-maa!)

Lbr, there's no real use to a frontline healer if they can't stay alive themselves, so his "style" is kind of... dressing up as a can of baked beans, and dancing on that delicate edge between attracting enemy attention to himself, AND avoiding getting actually hit if possible- which is something he mastered first through rigorous training, and later in battle. Mainly focusing on melee, and a select handful of offensive spells over the general cleric stuff.

I don't really... well, care if the official lore supports this, but I personally view the clerics of Tempus (a neutral war god, no real values associated with the morality beyond the inherent virtue in battle) as almost a mercenary-like order, so before moving to Baldur's Gate (about a year ago) and before the nautiloid, Arvid took part in his fair share of battles: mainly doing things like aiding local militia in defense against raiders, answering to lords' requests of aid in minor clashes against other lords, etc. So because of the short reach of his rural monastery, very often he and his handful of brothers were the only healers/spellcasters, AND sometimes the only trained combatants on the field, which led them to doing the brunt of the heavy lifting, which definitely contributed to his "let me lead this ragtag band" vibe. He's used to taking charge and acting as a kind of almost-general on the field.

9. Is your OC laid back or do they thrive on drama? What role do they play in their group of friends/associates?

Oh, he's definitely the laid-back camp dad. He listens to problems, gives the best advice he can if asked (18 Wis, babyyyyy), allocates their money... in conflicts among the companions, he often gets dragged into being the arbitrator. That's not really a role he likes, but... well, he just has one of those trustworthy faces, and over the months, I think they just grew to accept and count on that he's understanding and fair to a fault.

I have Shadowheart specced more towards damage output than healing too, so even just out of necessity, everyone comes to Arvid with their cuts and bruises, and he patiently tends to every wound, sore throat, and sprained ligament. It's what he likes doing the most anyway- he just likes caring for people.

.... Which is why I hc that if he survives the plot intact, he'll open a free clinic after moving to Waterdeep. He never really talks about it, and it wasn't really the intent to be that anyway, he's just the healer those who aren't that preoccupied with station (or those with more embarrassing problems) started seeking out, for his discretion and excellent bedside manner lol. (He has treated so many venereal diseases. Of the most exciting, exotic varieties. Sometimes the reason he doesn't ask many questions is that he doesn't even want to know.)

CONGRATS ON 100 FOLLOWERS !!! i'm vvv happy for you aaaaaa <333 could i request 22 w/ floyd ? i need more floyd content in my life !! oh also, *squeak*

TRAU THAMK UU !!!!!! squeezes you and force-feeds you mushrooms /affctnt /p

Floyd Leech | 22. "Stay there. I'm coming to get you." | semi-hurt/comfort

reader being chased, implied bullying, mentioned violence

You think this is karma, but not the regular type of karma when you do a bad thing and get away with it, a worse thing happens to you; or when you do a good thing, and something better happens to you.

No. You're in Twisted Wonderland, and here, karma is the black cat's yowl that breaks mirrors at your feet and forces you to stumble through the underside of a ladder.

"Where's that runt?!" a loud, growly voice shouts from somewhere close. You pause your breathing. "We need them for our plan!"

"Can't sniff 'em out either," says another. You hear loud sniffling, then a sneeze. "Think they dragged 'emself 'rough the water to wash off their scent."

Lots of angry growls and insults. You press yourself closer to the boxes you're hiding behind as you pull out your phone. Your shaky fingers hit Floyd's contact number as you hurriedly text him.

<< send help ppl look for me >> You shared your location with contact Floyd-ilicious!

You wonder if Floyd will respond to your message or see it at all. There are a couple spots in your DMs where it's just been you texting him with no responses. You've never worried about Floyd's response-less bouts since you'd see him around school or at Mostro Lounge, but now would be a really good time for Floyd to check his phone--

Floyd-ilicious sent << what stay where u r shrimpy im coming to u >>

"We need to get back at those damn Leeches and this magicless is going to be our ticket to that revenge."

"Ayahaha! Hell yea! I can't wait to see those guys panic. Especially Floyd!"

A round of cheers goes through the room you and your pursuers have taken up and a new round of heavy stomping shakes the room. You watch fearfully on as the boxes you're next to shake and jump. Oh, please don't fall, please don't fall, please don't fall--

BANG!

"Oi~ Shrimpy! Where are ya?" Floyd's voice rings throughout the room. There's a short silence before someone screams how he got there.

You peek out from behind the boxes and find that Floyd's already looking over at you and your frail cardboard defense. He's grinning as his eyes turn back to your pursuers and they glow brightly like they do when you two are playing Super Punch Partners.

"Well, I have to come when Shrimpy needs help, right? It's only fair since we're friends. A~nd," Floyd tilts his head in laughter, "friends would gladly squeeze people for each other!"

You would correct Floyd that no, friends don't normally do that, but ever since coming to Twisted Wonderland, you've found the views you hold have turned upside down. And really, if you're gonna have anyone throw a punch for you, you're glad you can count on Floyd to.

I’m fast approaching 666 followers... might need to do some kind of a giveaway once I get there.

[jessicas-pi]

due to popular request (i.e. literally one person asked, @sidesofmayo thank you for enabling me to rant about stuff) i am here to elaborate on how the song Shadows can be applied to the Teenage Rebellion AU!

putting in a cut because when i said i had "a paragraph in my brain" that was a lie, i have SEVERAL paragraphs. and i could have summed it up but i decided to brainthoughtdump instead. so this is one HECK of a post. sorry about that XD

So the thing that i love about this song and tying it in to the TRAU is that there's a double meaning to it.

Ok so first off: the chorus.

I don't mind your shadows 'Cause they disappear in the light I don't mind your shadows 'Cause they look a lot like mine

Which is kind of obvious at first, right? like, referring to the "shadows"—Ezra is an Inquisitor, he's got "shadows," and Sabine overlooks/forgives them.

But there's also a different way to look at it—she doesn't mind his "shadows" because she's never really seen them. She knows what a Sith can do, but because his "shadows" have "disappeared in the light," she can excuse what she does see as personality flaws that "look a lot like mine."

ok now i'm going back to the beginning because i can't do stuff in order apparently

We look for someone to believe in us And show us the way And make it okay

Both Sabine and Ezra are isolated from their families and, at heart, they're insecure, so they're "looking for someone to believe in them" because they don't really have a solid support system aside from Vere and Mara, respectively.

Also, there's this verse.

Pictures in our head Of what we're supposed to be Measuring ourselves, but where is the love? Where is the love?

they're both "supposed to be" something—a Coruscanti socialite or a Dark Acolyte—but they're not really living up to it. And "where is the love" can apply to how they're missing a lot of important relationships in their lives at this point and especially for Ezra, the only person who really loves him in any sense is his surrogate sister Mara. So Ezra and Sabine end up turning to each other.

And here's another fun double meaning:

And all these voices in our head Well, they keep screaming louder and louder But they won't pull us under

Could mean their self doubt, fear, Darkness, etc., is threatening them, but it ALSO could mean sabine is ignoring the "voice in her head" that tells her, truthfully, that this is a terrible idea, even as it gets "louder and louder" as time goes on.

So, in conclusion, i love this song because looking at it through a different lens turns it from Sabine overlooking Ezra's "shadows" to Sabine ignoring them, which gives it a darker angle and i love me some angst. Of course this is a happy ending AU because I cant write anything sad but still.

thank you for coming to my ted talk
