#Mosk Manytrees

[not-poignant]

but what if Mosk is there explaining patiently to Nate that you have to cut the flowers at a diagonal, and there's ways to prepare the water to make the flowers live longer, and Nate looks at the beautiful cut flowers handed to him and holds them and says:

'Don't you think flowers are a bit like omegas, sometimes?'

And Mosk opens his mouth to shoot him down maybe, and then stares at the flowers for a long time, and then looks at Nate and finally just sits down at the small kitchen table in Augus' cottage - though Augus is out right now, because Nate doesn't like his pheromones even though they're all grassy and green through the house - and the silence stretches for a long time. It's obvious Mosk doesn't know what to say, and Nate doesn't know what to say either, because he didn't really mean to upset him (but maybe he did, a little bit).

'I think flowers are like flowers,' Mosk says finally. 'But I think I understand the symbolism.'

'Pretty things are allowed to just live their full life on a plant,' Nate says, staring down at the bright gerberas and daisies.

'That's just it though. The plant keeps living. I haven't pulled anything up for this. Also what do you think about food then? Like you just eat carrots, don't you?'

A short silence, Nate caught out and his cheeks turning pink.

'Carrots are betas,' he says quickly.

Mosk bursts into surprised sharp laughter, and Nate joins him seconds later, his laugh quieter.

'That was mean of me,' he says.

'Yeah,' Mosk says, 'but it's funny too.'

'I don't think I like cut flowers very much.' Nate hands the flowers back to Mosk, who takes them with a smile.

'You think? I'm not going to make you like them. Just like you'll never make me give a shit about cars.'

'I don't-'

Mosk laughs again, green eyes gleaming, and Nate smiles with him, realising it was a joke.

He can have this, he thinks. This is okay.

Mosk and Eran for Day 6 of Faedom Week over at @poigdomevents Mosk and Eran belong to @not-poignant Reference

Day 4 / Sep. 7: family

this was the biggest vibe I had during the last chapters of TIP Book 3 😌💖 sometimes an adopted son can be 2700ish years older than their adopted dad, and that’s just how it is for Mosk and Gwyn!! love em!!!!!

Day 1 - Domestic

I’ve been wanting to draw this ever since @freyadragonlord first made that true-form Eran plushie and now it’s Faedom Week so I kicked myself in the butt and finally did :D

[rosewooddraws]

I love these boys, and I’m so glad they get to take some naps and just be in love for at least a few decades.

For Feadom Week 2022 (over at @poigdomevents) Day 1 prompt: domestic, but like, there’s a few different prompts this could work for and I’m two days late, so pick your favorite.

[hearthecrazy]

I wanted to do so much more, but only ever got time to do one thing for Faedom 2022. Painted a sunflower mug with some of my favorite things from the Seething Seas - plus the flesh fruit because it was a must.

The outside of the mug is inspired by the fire scale blanket Mosk found for Eran, the handle is the rope around Mosk wrist and little purple flowers for the ones that Mosk grew for The Raven Prince. Inside at the bottom is the flesh fruit and the walls of ice as Mosk visited Davix. Didn't come out perfect, buy still quite happy.

Figured I'd repost the old Fae Tales drawings that I lost by deactivating my blog. Can't help how much I love this bunch of Nerds

Hi Hi 👋

I love your stuff so much! I am reading Game Theory again, and recently read Tradewinds for a second time.

I find Heart Songs and Unseelie appetites really interesting as a concept.

Some Fae eat other Fae and Mosk losing his Heart song was massively catastrophic. Everyone seemed to be fairly horrified that his Heart song was gone. So I was musing over Heart songs and appetites for a bit and I wondered how an Unseelie Fae might be received by other Fae if their appetite was literally to eat people's Heartsongs and leave them empty?

Would this be scarier than say a Fae who ate another Fae or would it be subjective/about the same?

Would such an appetite even be possible/does a Fae like that already exist for you?

Your world building gets the brain spinning in such a good way. :D

Ooooo some worldbuilding questions *rubs hands together*

So I was musing over Heart songs and appetites for a bit and I wondered how an Unseelie Fae might be received by other Fae if their appetite was literally to eat people's Heartsongs and leave them empty?

Tbh I can't imagine it existing? Like it kind of breaks the world to exist.

The thing I wanted re: Davix and Olphix removing the heartsong was for it to be such an alien concept, and such an anathema to the entirety of the fae - more than rape, or torture, or cannibalism, etc. - was this one act that only they were capable of, and more than that, only they were willing to do.

And so on that axis if any fae speculatively/hypothetically could eat heartsongs, then they'd absolutely be scarier than any other kind of fae. The idea of heartsongs being removed is so jarring that we witness fae who have endured some of the worst tortures imaginable (particularly Augus and Gwyn) being extremely shocked over it. Augus in particular, who has endured something almost no one else in the fae realm ever has - underworld torture - that literally drove him to madness, still finds the idea of a removed heartsong absolutely repellent.

It's not like any other crime that exists. It is, to fae, separate and apart from any other horrible act.

So yeah, a fae with that appetite can't exist in this world, otherwise firstly, I don't think any fae would have had the reaction they did to Olphix and Davix's actions (so their reaction to what happened to Mosk would no longer make any sense at all), but it also wouldn't make Olphix's and Davix's crimes so serious in the first place, if they're just doing what some other fae can do just by like...being hungry.

And it wouldn't be a thing that so many fae haven't ever heard of happening before.

So it's definitely something that could happen in fanfiction folks wrote for themselves! But otherwise it was something I only ever intended to be possible through magic, which is part of the narrative that 'magic works against the natural order at its most bombastic' (see also: Mosk growing a hickory tree in the sea, and the flesh fruit, and a bunch of other things that come into existence through magic, not least that the Raven Prince survived dying).

This is @not-poignant’s character Mosk from their Fae Tale’s verse! It’s my very new favorite story and everyone should go read it on ao3 right now ✨

[spyroforlife]

the hot new thing is playing around with Neural Blender and I was gonna do a post of just Fae Tales character names but that wasn’t giving me very good stuff so I’m gonna do some of my favorite Fae Tales quotes :)

“I am made of impossible things... Swamps that grow in darkness without the sun to kiss the leaves awake and unfurling.” Augus Each Uisge, Chapter 41 of Game Theory

“I have been a dumb fucking bird for some time.” The Raven Prince, Chapter 15 of The Ice Plague: Book 2

“I did everything they asked me to. Everything. I didn’t do it well. I didn’t do it masterfully or gracefully with the flourishes expected of the Seelie, but I did it.” Gwyn ap Nudd, Chapter 40 of The Court of Five Thrones

“Hey, Augus? What’s my heartsong?” Ash Glashtyn, Chapter 18 of The Ice Plague: Book 3

“Maybe this is why Aur dryads are supposed to be pacifists.” Mosk Manytrees, Chapter 29 of The Ice Plague: Book 2

Aight I think that’s all I’ll do for now, might play with more on my own, but these are really surreal. I especially like the one it gave me for Augus’s quote, though Ash’s is also really nice. I’m not sure what’s happening with Gwyn’s :’) Anyway, just wanted to share, enjoy!

Day 4: family (again)

I had to drop everything and sketch out a moment from the latest chapter of the All That We Were, All That We Will Ever Be epilogue!!! 😭😭😭

“Thank you for your sacrifice.”

Mosk and Gwyn’s relationship ended up leaving a surprisingly deep impression on me hahaha. I just love them so much…

The Fool, reversed

🌿 chaos, risk-taking, insecurity

This is Mosk Manytrees from The Ice Plague by @not-poignant ! I have assigned tarot cards to all the main characters and we’ll see how many I get to before I lose steam.
