Baby photos lol!
Yeah Crestina was ecstatic when she learned that Starlo was dating Pancake. She hoped that Starlo would get a partner, though was a little hesitant with Pancake. Their history is a bit...messy. But somehow they worked it out, and Crestina's just happy.
So obviously that means she gets to do all the things she wants with a hopeful in-law; like sharing baby photos. Starlo came running in from another room when he heard. Pancake compensated by sharing her own kid photos she had saved on her phone. Turns out they were both nerds growing up, pfft!
I was hoping to draw something with Solomon and Orion, make it an in-law series. I still might. I just have a lotta doodles and none fit this fjsjsjs. Enjoy the SILLIES!!

I really had zero expectations going into lotm 😭 some traveling was on the horizon so I wanted to find a new long read, saw this one on a list and was like sure! hopefully will keep me occupied!
I didn’t know what I was getting into 🫡
flash forward I’m reading the first chapters one night and quickly go “ok wtf is going on?” because that opening scene is Crazy. then I discover the setting is victorian steampunk with supernatural elements WHICH IS!!! MY FAVORITE!!! im a bloodborne fan and love steampunk!!! and instantly freak out
I discover it’s getting a donghua adaptation and watch the trailer
youtube
by this point I’m cooked.
that animation and art direction is incredibly stunning, and you’re saying its reflective of this novel?? I need the context of these scenes projected in my mind NOW. I’m falling fast. consuming chapters at rapid pace over the course of ~2 1/2 weeks. I get hooked on the overarching mystery, the super detailed and interesting worldbuilding lore (the power system is cool and surprisingly very easy to understand, they even got scp-style entities up in here)
anyways klein is my guy <3 I also really like leonard! but klein is my buddy whom I’ve accompanied through his confusion, realizations, daily schedules and the most basic yet descriptive slice of life activities— going to work, classes, making dinner, using money, ordering black tea and riding a carriage. I started looking forward to the mondays at 3pm bc it means he hosts the tarot club meetings
yeah occasionally i’ve went “hm I do still like whats going on but it is lowkey boring rn, when will something more happen?” then eat my words because The Horrors. it starts building this scary dread intensity out of nowhere with all these connected puzzle pieces and im like OH NO GO BACK I MISS THE PEACE!!! *terrifying thing appears* WHAT IS THAT. *devastating thing happens* WHY ARE YOU EMOTIONALLY DAMAGING ME? I’m in pain LET THEM BE HAPPY

I am not even Close to finishing yet I completely get why this is one of the most beloved chinese novels and honestly I really hope they deliver with the donghua bc it has potential to cause massive impact. I even heard they’re making a video game? put that in my hands rn, godbless for me hopping on this train of peak fiction 🙏 it’s amazing im having fun reading! happy late april fools day mr. ruler above the gray fog

Dating Jason Todd (Part Fifteen: It’s Me)
Jason Todd x Reader
fanfic type: angst, fluff, comfort (ongoing)
If you liked the Titans show but wish they handled Jason’s story line differently you might like this fic!
Heyyyyyy guys. Life’s been crazy I’ve been dealing with some stuff lately. Remember to take care of your mental health and physical health and make time for yourself and the things and people that make you smile. Anyways I’m super happy I FINALLY got around to writing this part Jason’s finally back from the dead guys yayyyyy. Anyways I’m probably gonna write a couple more parts to this idk exactly how it’ll work but the backstory series of how reader met Dick and Jason and became a titan is on its way hopefully so keep an eye out for that. I hope you enjoy!
So story line, this doesn’t really take place in any specific universe but I’m gonna be pulling concepts from Titans, Arkham Knight, The Batman, Under the Red Hood, and whatever lore I remember from the CW shows cause I grew up watching those, then just my imagination of course. Reader is referred to as she/her btw.
Warnings: talking about death, suicide, depression, torture (it’s not graphic I hate gore it’s just sad), talking about intimacy (not graphic), struggling with eating, topics of grief, violence, panic attacks, PTSD
Part Fifteen: It’s Me
You never called Dick like you told Thea you would. You simply texted Rachel you were on your way to Wayne manor and left. Being without Jason would never be normal but in a way you were starting to be in less pain. That bothered you, the pain allowed you to remember Jason was real, what you and him had was real. Wayne manor was a constant reminder of where you first met Jason, you two fell in love in Titans Tower but the manor is where it all began. When you got there it was barely sunrise, you hoped everyone would still be asleep so you could sneak in unnoticed. One person was awake, Gar.
“Y/N!” He says startled.
“Hey Gar,” you say.
“What are you doing back? Not that I’m not happy your back…I was just wondering..,”
You cut off his nervous rambling, “that Redhood guy found me at Thea’s and I heard Dick’s made him your guys new problem. so I came to see what he’s up to and what I have to do with it,” you say.
“Oh,” Gar says. “Well all we really know so far is he’s waging war with Black Mask and he’s super super well trained, like league of assassins well trained,” Gar says.
“Batman well trained?” You ask.
“Between you and I, better than Batman,” Gar says.
“And we’re sure he’s not league,” you ask.
“Positive, unless they’re lying of course which is always a possibility,” Gar says.
“Always is with the league,” you say.
“Hey does Dick know your joining us for this one?” Gar asks.
“No, why?” You ask.
He looks nervous, “no reason,”
“Gar?”
“It’s just…after he came back from Star city he was pissed…like more than usual,” Gar says. “And he never really told us what happened he just said he found you in the iceberg and brought you to Thea’s,” he says.
“I mean that is pretty much what happened,” you say. You paused before asking, “so how have you been? Stupid question I know but still,”
“As good as I can be, you probably get that,” he says.
“Yeah…can I tell you something?” You ask
“Course,” he says.
“This has been pissing me off, at first I was in so much pain I didn’t know what to do with myself then I was angry and depressed and now the pain is fading and it’s bothering me that it’s getting better,” you say. “I’m sorry I know that probably doesn’t make sense,” you add.
“No it does. It’s like the pain disappears when you’re around people or busy but when you’re alone it all comes rushing back,” he says morbidly.
“Exactly,” you say.
“I’m actually glad you mentioned it, no one else was really close to Jason but us it’s weird like Rachel and Kori lost him too but they don’t really understand cause they didn’t really know him,” he says.
“Yeah…if you ever wanna talk about it I’m around. You were practically Jason’s bro-“ you stopped yourself when you saw Dick. He looked tired, more so than usual. You hurried off past him not wanting to risk conversation that would most likely turn into an argument. You decided to go find Kori, she was the one member of Titans who you knew wouldn’t treat you weird because of your dead boyfriend.
“Hey,” you say finding her in the sunroom.
“Y/N, hey. I didn’t know you were back,” she says with a smile.
“Yeah I just got here,” you say. “So what’s the deal with this Red Hood guy?”
“We don’t know much so far just that he’s going after Black Mask and he’s really really good,” she says.
“Yeah Gar said almost Batman good, he suspects the league,” you tell her.
“You don’t?” She asks.
“I don’t know much about him like you but he seems like a loner; not a league member,” you say.
“Wait, you’ve met him?” She asks.
“Not exactly met…more he broke into my room at Thea’s one night,” you say. “That’s why I came back actually…to see if you guys knew what his issue with me might be.”
“Oh…so you’re not “back back”? She says slightly disappointed.
“Not sure…I do miss being a titan but things have just changed so much,” you say.
Kori is quiet for a minute then says, “does Dick know your back?”
“He saw me…but I haven’t talked to him since he dropped me at Thea’s,” you say.
“He’s been acting weird,” Kori says.
“It’s Dick. When’s he not acting weird?” You say.
“This is different…look I know you guys have a crazy past,” she starts to say but you cut her off.
“God if I wanted to be lectured about Dick I’d talk to Rachel,” you snap. Kori goes quiet. It’s as if she’s waiting for you to say something but instead you simply realize how much of an asshole you’ve been and go upstairs, to Jason’s room.
“Fuck,” you say to nobody as you slam the door. “Oh my God,” you say as you pace the room. “Dude fuck you…fuck you Jason for leaving me here,” you yell angrily at the empty space. “Fuck you! You fucking left me here…” Your rage quickly turns to sadness as you curl up on top of the black bedsheets and cry. It’s been so long since he’s slept in this bed that it barely even smells like him anymore. Or maybe you’re forgetting what he smelt like. You don’t want to be with the titans, you don’t want to go to Thea’s or your sisters in Star City; these days you don’t want to be anywhere.
An hour later there’s a knock on the door. You don’t reply and when the person opens the door anyway you know it’s Dick. “A normal person would get the hint for personal space and go away when there’s no answer,” you say.
“Lucky for you I couldn’t care less about your personal space when there’s clearly something wrong,” he says.
“Dude there’s nothing wrong. The person I love the most in this world died but technically nothings wrong,” you say.
“Don’t lie to me Y/N I can see it in your eyes. You’re tired yet alert, you were completely reckless at the iceberg. You’re being an asshole to people other than me which is not normal,” he says.
“I saw him,” you blurt out.
“Red Hood?” He asks.
“No well yes but before that I saw Jason…hallucinated him,” tears begin to fill your eyes once more. “It was so cold and he was so lifeless.” Dick sits down beside you. “I turned off the light that night even though I was alone. I just wanted to feel something even if it was fear but instead of the vines it was him,” you say as you wipe your tears away. “Then the red hood guy showed up. it was the strangest thing he turned on the light and said, “why would you turn them off you’re afraid of the dark,” like he knew me.”
“Did he seem familiar?” Dick asks.
“I don’t know I was pretty out of it,” you say.
“Then what happened?” He asks.
“I grabbed a gun and told him to leave. He said he wouldn’t hurt me then I shot him. I think I got him in the arm or shoulder and then he jumped out the window,” you say. “Oh and I think I heard him drive away on a bike.”
“A bike? Is there cameras at the Queen mansion maybe we could get plate numbers,” Dick says.
“Probably yeah. Bruce might have access to them honestly, it’s probably Wayne tech,” you say. You grab your backpack you never bothered to unpack.
“You going somewhere?” Dick asks almost disappointed.
“I have to go,” you say.
“Where?” He asks.
“I don’t know…I just have to leave. I’m no good here I’ll just make everything more complicated. I’m not a titan anymore,” you say.
“Hey you’ll always be a titan…even when you’re not,” Dick says. You begin to walk away when he grabs your wrist.
“Dick…” you begin to say.
“Just promise me you’ll be careful,” he says. “No weird guys at the iceberg or wondering through crime alley,” he says.
“I promise,” you say trying to shake his hand off.
He pulls you closer and says, “swear… on Jason,” he says in a serious tone.
“I swear,” you say quietly.
Dick let you go, not that he could’ve stopped you, and now you were on your way to Selina’s. Dick was right iceberg wasn’t a good idea to try again and Selina’s the only person in Gotham you know.
“I figured you’d show up soon,” Selina says as she opens her apartment door seeing you soaking wet from the rain.
“You did?” You ask as you go inside.
“Yeah the new freak dropped by looking for you,” she says.
“Red Hood?” You ask.
“That’s the one,” Selina says. You made a mental note that he probably was in Gotham stopped by Selina’s looking for you, then went to Star and found you at Thea’s. How he knew the places you were most likely to be you had no idea. “You’re freezing,” she says as she reaches for your soaked jacket.
“I’ll keep it on,” you say quickly.
“Oh… I see, it belonged to Robin 2.0” she says.
“So Red Hood, what else happened? Do you know what he wants with me?” You ask her.
“I don’t know ask him yourself,” she says. You give her a confused look. “He left a fucking phone number, “in case you dropped by”, what a freak huh,”
“Yeah… a freak,” you say. “So the number?”
“Here it is,” she hands you a napkin, but it wasn’t an ordinary napkin. It was a napkin from the cafe you and Jason had your first date at and the numbers look similar to Jason’s handwriting.
“What the fuck,” you say under your breath. “Thanks Selina, sorry for the unwanted visitor I’ll huh,” you look at the phone number. “…tell him to leave you alone.”
Outside back in the rain you call the number. Someone answers right away. “Hello?” you say.
“Y/N?” Red Hood asks. You try to think of people you know who might know all this information. You can’t think of anyone and the fact that the guys using a voice modulator doesn’t help.
“Who’s asking?” You say.
“Y/N,” he says again. Suddenly two men come up behind you and put a bag over your head. The last words you hear from the phone before you’re dragged off are, “it’s me.”
I hope you enjoyed this part. If you did remember to check out my Masterlist for the other parts to the series. There’s also other fics on there for the characters, Dick Grayson, Anakin Skywalker, Christian Ozera and Peter Hayes. I’m probably gonna expand that character list. Like I said keep an eye out for new parts and the backstory series. If you liked reading remember to like, repost and/or follow if you want to see more. Any and all positive feedback is highly appreciated it helps me keep motivation to write new parts. Thank you for reading and have a great day!:)🩷

Hi! I honestly am so entertained by your Nickposting. Keep up the good work :) it’s not my thing but it’s certainly sent me down an interesting rabbit hole. How did you find yourself becoming so interested in him? Honestly it’s pretty cool that you can look past his political views. Oh, and Nick is 100 percent a fed. Imo anyway.
heyyy anon, thank you so much! that’s very kind of you to say 🙈 i feel like it’s hard not to go down a rabbit hole with nick, even if it’s not your thing, bc his lore is so interesting and kinda weird 😭
also, great question! the answer will be different for everyone on here, so hopefully theyll reblog with their answer as well (guys please i’m actually also really interested). personally, i found myself interested in him after the your body my choice fiasco, i knew of his existence before that but i’d never watched his show or many clips of him. but from when i saw the ybmc clip, i was immediately hooked, drawn in by the absurdity of what he was saying and his charisma. like “this is morally repugnant, but why is it so entertaining?”. i didn’t start out obsessed, i started microdosing his content by watching his dean debate, stream with destiny, some america first. the more i found out about his politics, the more i hated him and subsequently the more i liked him. i guess it’s hard to explain but it is a real psychological phenomenon that when someone is a polarising figure, like nick, and invokes strong feelings in you, then you might start to confuse hatred with love for them. nick fuentes derangement syndrome is real and i am a victim 😭
it goes without saying, that his charisma, humour, lore and the entertainment value of his commentary, also definitely played a huge role in drawing me in. the deeper i got into his lore, the more interesting he became to me as a person, and the more i found i could empathise with him, yk seeing him as a person, which most people don’t. knowing what i know now about him, i’ve kind of disarmed him as a threat in my mind and just see him as a silly guy (i’m self-aware that this is insane and cope though)
also might be worth noting that almost everyone on here is on the spectrum 😅 obviously it’s quite an abnormal and niche hyperfixation to have but with the way my brain works, i often become hyperfixated on people who are complicated and who I’m really interested in trying to understand
but about his politics, i’ll be honest, i found it really difficult to look past his political views at first and i felt insanely guilty for liking him. i started feeling less guilty once i joined here and realised there were either people who felt like me, but yeah, i’d be lying if i said the guilt doesn’t lurk anymore. i don’t usually post about this on here, but i mostly rationalise it because i like looking into people on the far right in general, examining how they view the world, how/why they were radicalised and how we might be able to replicate that on the left (opposition research, essentially). but it goes without saying, that i do disagree with him on basically everything politically, with few exceptions. i’m mostly interested in his personal life and behaviour on this blog, obviously that involves being involved in his political sphere and watching his show etc etc. so i can’t escape the politics of it all ofc, but hey, it’s definitely made me more thick skinned
if u wanna send an ask again, i’d be interested to know how u found us and what your politics are :P just wondering about your politics as you’re calling him a fed LOL
#might post more on this later because i like this topic#but i need to go to work so this is all for now#asks#thinking out loud hm#nickstorian#nick fuentes#long ass post#ponderings#pondering on why i even like nick

Look ı knowwww this game is hentai but. Hear me out please. I cant do this anymore İT İS JUST TOO MUCH, look ı might fuck off if this game was pure hentai but there are good character designs and interesting personalities and dynamicsz so ı just cant piss of it is too catchy for me. BUT FOR SAKE OF GOD İT İS JUST TOO MUCH HORNY AND İT COULD BE MORE BAREABLE İF MC WASNT FUCKİNG SPİNELESS ı saw ur asmo selfie post and saw mcs saying keep fucking me is...very mc behaviour but it irrated me why? BECAUSE THİS BİTCH DOES THİS WİTH EVERY FUCKİNG PERSON dude you are way above keep fucking me okay? You are about to fuck every living thing on solar system please just have a red line. Ok i understand storys base concept was virgin and knowing nothing but in story wise THİS SHİT JUST KEEPS GOİNG WİTHOUT END AND MC İS SHOWİNG ME THAT THEY ARE NOTHİNG BUT A BRAİN MELTED SEX ADDİCT. İ swear im okay with sex but this game has soooo much potential and story but it is showing us end of the day this is a sex similator and nothing is changing end of the day there is no obvi relation or feelings towards mc besides few persons other than that it is always bonding with sex and horny and nothing more they are just 'living dildos' to mc mh yeah they show little bit of emotions here and there. But there is a reason why side stories and events are much more fun, because less horny and more characters acting like luving beings not everything revolves around long and white sprounting thing.
Nonetheless ı hope you say your opinion too i wann hear really. But long story short ı dont think sex is everything and relationships reveolvs around it. Sex is a helper and great thing in relationships not a hinderance or shameful thing, but ı cant help myself GET FUCKİNG SECOND HAND EMBARSSMENT when goddamn mc is on screen.
Hey anon, fair warning when it comes to asking my opinion so hopefully I convey myself properly... When it comes to MC and their behavior and mindset for this game, which it's very clear now that their personality is "i'm more horny in theory but when it comes time to utilize that i crash and burn and act like i've never seen dick in my life" and that's what makes me roll my eyes because it's like you're in Hell...you can be as unhinged as you wish please just do that cause everyone keeps saying so.
Now when it comes to the sex content in the game and the way it was advertised, I came in with the expectation that this would be pretty much sex, more sex, and basically more sex. I came here for demon pixel dick and whelp that's what I got. I personally would have liked more of a variety. Maybe devils that are submissive, switches, bratty tops, finally got a pillow prince with Belphie. just missing a damn threesome or something the five kings card was...anyway
But that's just me.
I tend to not bring IRL things (like me not even putting sex on the hierarchy of needs) to media I enjoy unless it's for joking purposes and me being unserious.
NOW I'm not saying plot/slice of life/wholesome content is boring, I pretty much enjoy that breath of fresh air when reading lore, seeing how the devils interact on a day to day basis with one another. At this point since it's been a year I want m o r e of that.
But at the end of the day...they're demons...beings not really meant to be wholesome or human like or behave like us at all. Any wholesome content is a plus, but I'm here once again to scratch an itch.
TLDR: I came to fuck demons. MC isn't fucking them how I would...which is a disappointment, but that's what I'm here for. Lore/Slice of Life content is nice tho and I do enjoy it.

"Don't be ableist uwu!!!"
Okay quick questions then.
How seriously do you take The Game? If someone tells you, "I saw a post that says I won the game!" Is your response to immediately say "noooooo that's not how it works!!!" Yeah I know how it works. It literally only exists to inflict misery on others and that you supposedly can't win no matter what you do, wreaking havoc on people who have severe anxiety? Grow the fuck up. I'm sorry if this miserable piece of shit torture game is somehow something that you want to keep alive but newsflash. We're not all just sitting around in the utopian commune sipping martinis without having to stress about whether or not we'll have somewhere to stay next month or where our next meal will come from or whether or not the almighty capitalists decide we deserve to get our next dose of medicine so maybe just let the stupid game die.
How do you judge people who consume media you consider "problematic?" Yeah. Those media. Hazbin Hotel. Helluva Boss. Bayonetta. Etc. Like. I'm sorry if trans people who were already into the Bayonetta series were excited to buy the newest game in it and got even more excited to buy it when they fired a transphobic VA. Some people have depression and easy sources of serotonin are in short fucking supply for us and need our comfort media and you saying that we should deny ourselves happiness because you have issues with said comfort media isn't very leftist of you actually.
How much patience do you have for people who talk for hours about one specific subject? Actually. Genuinely. You can post about "OMG when she infodumps 🥺 choke me mommy" all you want. But when an actual autistic trans gal is trying to explain the lore of borderlands or TF2 and is stumbling over her words and getting nervous because nobody really likes her and she's been consistently shut down and/or ignored and/or bullied for what a nerd she is? How patient and understanding are you.
How much patience do you have for people who say, "I'm sorry, can you please say/explain that again?" Whether after 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 5 hours, or 5 months, there's multiple reasons someone might struggle with this. They might have memory issues. They might have hearing issues. They might have attention span issues. They might have ADHD. They might have DID or OSDD. They might be stressed out and have a million different things on their mind. Or they might have just missed what you said. They might have not heard it or they might have just forgotten.
The point is. I get that it's easy to get caught up in ideals and paper activism but you have to remember that not being ableist requires work. It means that you can't always judge someone by what they enjoy. It means that you have to actually treat disabled people like people. If you don't take actual people into account during your activism, it doesn't mean jack shit. Unlearn your biases. Hopefully this gains some traction but I am begging you to see beyond a black and white viewpoint.

Sky wielders AU
Part 1 | Art ... Part 7 / Part 8 / Part 9
We're getting into the stretch I can play around the most. Get ready for out of pocket lore and dragons!
Spoilers for the empyrean series and especially Onyx Storm!
Once back at Basgiath, Violet goes on to read about Devereli in preparation for the trip south. She also goes on to interogate Barlow. She's not really interested in how Venin work since the sky wielders shared their experiences back in the first year, but she is interested in the black wyverns. He has only ever heard about them, but from what he knows they're just like the greys except maybe a bit more autonomous.
After that failure in researching their hopefully new ally, quest squad is headed to Cordyn. This is the same squad as in canon all though they were thinking of bringing Liam instead of Ridoc at first. They quickly gave up on that plan since bringing Liam would mean they had to drag Baide along (who was still recovering) and Violet needed someone to reign the sky wielders in in her absence.
In Cordyn Xaden doesn't have to, but is more than happy to piss Halden off to get Violet to his room where they take a shower and a power nap. As they both woke up they just stayed in bed a little while longer, talked a bit and explored the bond between them some more.
After becoming sky wielders it was like the bond between them became something much more solid, as if no longer depending on Tairn and Sgaeyl to function. They could also feel the others emotions more easily and read each other far better than before. Violet would've assume it was just Xaden being an inntinsic if she didn't know it was a two way street for this new development.
Xaden and Violet were both startled by knocking on their window. Once they got up, they could see the smallest wyvern they ever layed eyes upon, with a small bag tied to it's back.
Xaden: That's not even a wyvern at this point, that's just an iguana with wings. How did it get here undetected anyway?
Violet: Well, it's black so I'm sure it looks like a crow or raven from a distance. It doesn't feel like the other wyverns either, more... peaceful, if that makes sense. Think it might belong to the guy that helped us in Anca?
Xaden: Looks like it has a note, so only one way to find out.
They open the window and the little guy immediately comes to perch on Violet's shoulder and she notes that it's surprisingly light for a creature its size.
Xaden, after taking the note and bag: Alright let's see what goodies you've brought us. *Clears his throat* I know you want to visit Devereli. I can't say I agree with your decision but if you're going to dance with the devil might as well go in prepared. In the bag you have a barren obsidian from the former hatching grounds in the Barrens. They're used as a source of power for the wyverns after being imbued. Hope you'll find it useful. P.S. you can keep the little wyvern. He's completely autonomous so no information can leak back to me. You can test how they react to sky magic. Signed K.A.
Violet: Huh. So we both agree we're calling this guy Kaa until he actually tells us his name, right? Also where are we gonna hide an entire wyvern?
Xaden: Yeah, he deserves it for only giving his initials, but don't be so fast to trust him, Violence. I understand you don't see evil incarnate in Venin but we gotta make sure he's actually telling the truth and the wyvern isn't tied to him.
Violet, scratching the wyvern's head: And how are we gonna do that?
Xaden: in theory I could try to read his intentions. If he's still tied to his creator I'll be able to feel his intentions because of the whole hivemind business.
Violet: ... I like your signet more and more with each passing day.
They determined that the wyvern is safe and ended up hiding the little guy into Xadens bag. All curled up the poor thing didn't really take much space and it was oddly calm compared to what Violet expected from such a young looking creature. Would taking him to the isles be risky? Sure. Do they have anywhere else to leave him so he doesn't get killed? No, not really.
And so the quest squad is finally departing for Devereli. Soon after leaving the Continent Violet felt like a bucket of cold water was thrown over her. By the surprised shout coming from Sgaeyl's back she assumes Xaden got the same treatment.
Xaden: What the hell was that?
Violet: We're no longer on the Continent, so no more earth magic I suppose.
Xaden: For a source that's supposedly friendly, the sky is cold as fuck! Also, Sgaeyl is complaining about being cut of from Tairn and the others.
Violet: Yeah, he says he's cut off from everyone else too. It seems that he's only able to speak with Andarna. Probably because she channels from the sky and not the earth like the rest of them
Xaden: Hmm. If their bond is blocked how are we talking?
Violet: Probably sky magic as well.
Their arrival stays pretty much the same. Except Xaden is not nearly as fascinated by the lack of magic on the isles. Once him and Violet get to their room they check in on the little wyvern who started happily thrilling and gurgling once he saw the both of them. He proceeded to eat half the aperitives they found in the room and once the two settled in bed to rest after the long trip the creature came to curl up next to their tangled legs.
Xaden: He's like a dog... I've always wanted a dog...
Violet: Well guess he's ours now. We really need to come up with a name.
Xaden: Maybe later. 'Little guy' works for now.
Violet: You silly, silly man.
As they leave for the town market they leave the wyvern in their room. Poor thing looked like a kicked puppy but it gave up on following them and curled between their pillows in the end.
As the squad rode in search for the merchant mentioned by papa Sorrengail they were still getting harassed by the locals. This time in addition to 'fire bringers' there's also an occasional 'demon' thrown Violet's way.
Dain and Xaden: Should we fight them?
Violet: Nah, it's fine. Better than being called a venin honestly.
The conversation with Narelle and Riorgail getting interrupted goes pretty much as canon and our couple is now on their way to save some royal ass.
When Halden starts running his mouth Xaden simply wraps his shadows around him effectively shutting him up and stopping him from ruining the negotiations. Courtlyn is fascinated by the display of magic and Violet makes some bullshit excuse about their dragons being more powerful which allows them to wield even in a land with no magic.
Courtlyn brings out the kitties and now it's Violet's turn to be fascinated.
Violet, shaking Xaden's shoulder: Are you seeing this? They're albino! Xaden, they're like me!
Xaden: 👀
The mood is immediately killed by Anna Winshier's head on a silver platter. Now, Violet and Xaden get why Courtlyn killed Halden's personal guard. Hell, the two of them killed for less than theft, but this was still brutal to see. While still a bit disturbed, Violet still has her priorities straight, so she does the only logical thing and asks Courtlyn if she can pet the panther that's happily munching on Anna's head. Courtlyn looks at her with a raised eyebrow but he respects her boldness so he lets her.
Violet: My love, I know you've always wanted a dog, but how would you feel about a cat instead?
Xaden: ... You are insane, but I guess they are white and deadly, so you'd match.
Courtlyn is in a far better mood since Violet seems to be just as excited as him about the felines. Also Halden shutting up is doing wonders for this meeting. In the end Violet trades Andarna eggshell for them using Devereli as homebase.
Violet: Also, hypothetically, how would one aquire a little one auch as yours?
Courtlyn: Hmm, as it so happens, Shira had a cub not long ago. The question is, what are you willing to trade?
Violet: I hear you like magical artifacts, correct? I have this ability called imbuing which allows me to charge an object with power. I could imbued one artifact of your choosing with enough magic to last for centuries to come, in exchange for the cub. Sounds good?
Courtlyn: I do quite like the sound of that. Bring the cub!
Violet ends up imbuing Courtlyn's crown. He says it will be the sign of the true monarch for generations to come. Violet is just happy to get a cat out of this. Halden is mad but Xaden is just dragging him out the palace once it's time to go back to Tecarus' estate. The prince still gets banned from Devereli but at least Courtlyn seems to be on friendly terms with Violet and Xaden by the end. (They won him over when Violet asked to pet the panthers. That man is a sucker for his babies)
The dragons and gryphons are curious about the new creature joining their group and the feline seems to be always chasing around Andarna and Violet. (I imagine the panther rode in Violets saddle like those dogs with their owners on horses. I'll like a video here with what I mean)
The Basgiath stay is pretty uneventful, the iron squad works on research, the first years joining them and the sky wielders are doing damage control, doing their pest to keep anyone from turning venin. They are mostly successful. There's only one person that has turned and wasn't discovered by leadership. Kate ended up taking them under her wing and she's essentially becoming a Sage in her own right. Violet is very proud.
Violet and Xaden quickly discovered that the little wyvern is completely unaffected by the wards. They are still definitely up and stopping any greys from crossing into Navarre but the little guy is simply thriving. They chalk it up to him being untethered from any venin.
In the end, they kick Halden out from Quest Squad and replace him with Aaric and they also add the fliers so now we have the ultimate team to commit a new act of treason and head off to search the isles until we find the irids.
First stop: Unnbriel, the isle of Dunne. Violet, Dain and Xaden are far more excited at the prospect of a fight than they probably should be. They effectively wipe the floor with their opponents and the sky was lit up with lightning the entire time. All the residents are scared shitless of Violet now, but still won't help unless they're given dragons.
They also remember Violet from when she was a baby and they nearly dedicated her. Violet nearly being forced into a cult as a baby was not on her isles tour bingo card.
Next up: Hedotis, isle of Hedeon. Violet likes this island. It's pale an full of knowledge. She can identify with that. Everything was dandy, until they saw two children bolting in their direction. Violet was able to scoup up the smaller one while Xaden gently wrap a shadow around the other.
Xaden, laughing: Hey, hey! Did no one tell you not to approach dragons?
The kids, in hedotic, giggling: What?
Violet, also in hedotic, smiling softly: Dragons are big grumps, don't like little humans, so try not to get too close.
Faris: Hello! I see you've already met my boys. Welcome to our island! :D
Quest Squad: Thanks?
Talia, shock settling in: Xaden?
Xaden, in Tyrrish: are we sure we can't just skip this isle?
Xaden is understandably in the middle of a mental breakdown for the rest of the day. He's hiding on the balcony watching Sgaeyl pace around the beach. Violet is trying to help the best she can. She's never seen Xaden quite this upset before. Angry, sure, but never upset.
Shortly after his mother comes to their room hopping to speak with him another knock sounds at the door. Violet cracks it open, expecting another awkward conversation with Talia, but instead she's greeted by two wide grins from the boys.
The kids, in hedotic: Hello! We would like to spend some time with big brother if possible!
Violet, in hedotic, than switching to common: Ah, one moment. My love, your brothers are looking for you!
Xaden: Huh? My what now?
They spend a nice afternoon together in all honesty. The boys are really just excited to meet their brother and Xaden actually feels a bit better after getting two know them a little better. They played with the panther (the wyvern being carefully tucked inside Violet's bag) and Xaden somehow convinced Sgaeyl to come to the balcony for the kids to watch after they ask if they could see the dragons again. In the end they're the reason why Xaden finally caved and accepted to go the the dinner.
Faris still ends up being a dick and trys to poison them, but luckily Violet's cat ends up jumping onto Garrick before he could take a bite out of the cake. They give the triumvirate the antidote to the arinmint tea and leave the isle behind.
Xaden: You are all horrible people, I hope you know that. I hope Gaius and Simeon grow up to be better leaders than you, because you're all shit. See you never!
And finally: Zehyllna, isle of Zihnal. This one goes as in canon, I really don't have anything to add. Rest in peace Trager, you were perfect.
While looking for a island to bury Trager and his Gryphon, Violet kept feeling like she was being watched. She assumed it was just the tension between them and Xaden being ever the mother hen. Once they landed she could finally feel the hum of the earth again, stronger than the occasional warmth in Zehyllna. They made camp and in the morning everyone split, to search for any trace of the irids.
Violet and Ridoc stay behind the tend to the remaining ambers. Aotrom and Ridoc were foolish around, splashing each other with the foaming ocean water. Andarna watched them intently and when the brown had all his attention on his rider, Andarna disappeared into the background and then reappeared after diving into the water, effectively drenching the bigger dragon.
As the three of them played Violet noticed a shimmering blue dragon, watching the display as well. When it turned and she locked eyes with it more dragons in all sorts of light colors showed up, that's when she heard an ear-scratching whistle and then a young male voice.
The irids are not what Violet expected. While they seem fascinated by Violet's ability to channel from the sky they're also rudely dismissing all of Andarna's accomplishments and chastise her for giving a human access to the sky, which she quickly denied. After the irids firmly refused to help Andarna fled into the forest and that's when a second, more pleasant whistle sounded.
A white dragon, slightly bigger than Tairn emerged from were Andarna just fled to and the smaller irids looked like they regreted all the life decisions that led them to this point.
Leotha: E-elder Dionadair!
Dionadair: How many times do I have to tell you to stay on your own island! You rainbow parrots are not welcome here, go back to your own den!
With that he snapped his teeth inches from Leotha's tail, nearly ripping a few feathers out as the younger dragons fled.
Dionadair: Damn pastels, always thinking they can do what they want! I hope they didn't bother you too much.
Violet, angrily: Oh, bother doesn't even begin to cover it! They hurt Andarna! Just because you would rather hide behind your tails than help!
Tairn: Silver one...
Dionadair: Hmph. I do not associated with those rascals. Whatever they said does not apply to me, nor my den. Now, this Andarna seems to have stumbled upon my daughter and she's telling quite the story. *Looking at Tairn* Elder black, be civilised, don't growl at me. Call the rest of your den. When you gather, my daughter will lead you to our nest and you can ask for whatever help you came here to garner.
Tairn: I'm not an elder... But thank you. For considering helping us.
Dionadair, giving a mental smile: Not an elder? I would disagree with the way you protect this den!
Later when everyone came back the sun was hovering just above the horizon. Galeach, Dionadair's daughter, showed them the way to the giant cave mouth in the middle of the island, that was hidden from above by the foliage. She has been looking at Andarna curiously all day and must have commented on how cool her tail is at least a dozen times. Once inside the cave, it's like they stepped into a whole new world. The place was bustling with activity, white and silver dragons gathered in group idle chatting, others covered in soot and mud that came from digging deeper tunnels into the caves flew out to clean themselves, some seemed to be telling wild stories to a small gathering of golden hatchling. It was a thriving community an Violet could feel the sky magic they were channeling even this deep underground.
That's when a loud roar and a low whistle covered the thrills of the other dragons. Everyone snapped to attention and turned to look behind where Dionadair was coming into the light from the cave entrance. He gave the quest squad a nod and prompted Andarna to tell her story once more, in front of his den this time.
By the end of her explanation a good chunk of the dragons had their scales in dark purples and blacks to show their support. There were a few with bright red coats, ready to fight whatever threat they might face if they fly to the Continent.
Dionadair: I will not ask you to depart from the home we've had for centuries. Not when I myself know nothing of the threat we might be up against. But if you choose to help, if you want to fight for the peace of a home that once was, dawn the silver scales, I know I will. As for those who remain, keep your scales white and keep the nest safe until our return!
Nearly half of the dragons present shimmered in dark silver, all ready to come to the aid of the dragon they once left behind. Andarna look at Dionadair in that moment and let out a sharp keen and wrapped her front paws around the elder's neck.
Andarna: Thank you!
Dionadair: Heh! No need, young friend. Us irids will always help our own!

Hello! Ooc ask yall don't have to answer obviously! Just wanna give complements and stuff to the mods!
First off, aughhhhh the little guys you drew us as? Wasn't expecting that, but it's so adorable my gods. A+ for creative genius. Not to mention, figuring out what to draw me (and others of course) as might have been a little hard, and I apologize for that, haha! Had I know you'd be drawing our silly little asks, I would have picked a better sign off!
Second, gahhh I'm so excited for this! Don't really know the full plot yet but just these few posts makes me impatient for more lore and stuff! Im not asking you all to rush of course tho! I know good art requires time and patience! But aaaaaa I can't wait!!!
Uh third, but less important, could you possibly draw my little "askling" as more snakelike? Like still boxy and stuff, just moves more squiggly? And mayyyybe with a silly mouth to match? If thats too much effort for one asker I completely understand tho lol. I like the little line guy as is rn, I just personally prefer when a personification of me is more anthropomorphic, if that makes sense? But again, no pressure! Coloring multiple shades onto an asker seems like too much effort for one guy as is, haha!
Guh, ask got a little long, sorry! But I do truly love what you all have so far! Keep up the awesome work!
-Gray
thank you so much!! i honestly had a fun time designing your askling, i'm really partial to making things fun little objects haha. fun to take things literally and make you a little paint swatch.
...that being said, yeah i was struggling with it. i think i have a good idea for how i can draw it better in the future (and potentially clean it up for the other mods) and i REALLY like the snakelike idea. i generally was trying to give all of them a bit of personality but eh i also had to design seven at once. so.
you will be seeing a new design next time one of your asks is answered. well aside from this answer.
-mod paper
Big fan of the concept of hue swatch snake, will definitely be implementing that for you, Gray. Honestly with you as a snake and our rabbit askling I could see us getting all asklings of all 12 members of the Chinese zodiac in here which like… isn’t super meaningful but a fun concept and also a special Rock treat. A littol treat for Rock!
ALSO glad you’re excited cuz we’re excited too! Ask responses are going to vary over time art and content wise but hopefully with 3 mods it should still be a fun ride for everyone involved! I’m honestly thrilled by the amount of asks we’re even getting so early on.
Hopefully tho no one will have to design 7 asklings in one go again. Paper really took one for the team today. Thank you Paper!

Hello!! I hope you are doing good nowadays.
Your sugar daddy! Gojo is always on my mind. I think, I wake up and the first thing comes to me is him, and when I go to bed he is the last thing I think about. Yeah, I maybe went a little bit crazy over him, but, do not judge me!!! The way you are writing him is so freaking delicious, I keep rereading your works and not because I love your smut(still the best), I adore the personality you created for him.
I enjoy dreaming about how sugar daddy! Gojo will be happy to be in real relationship with reader, not just some fuck here and there for money, maybe, sometimes he really wants to create family with her. The man literally found his reason to live in her and I cannot blame him.
He would be a great dad for their children. He is the type to spoil his child a little bit, but still be the strict one. He is the one to teach them how to be a good man or how a real man must treat a woman. Maybe, he will be too much happy when his first child is a daughter. He will talk about her a lot and always call her “my little princess”.
I just wanna keep him in my pocket🥹🥹🥹🥹 He is probably the one, who gives the best hugs and always say “everything will be okay, sweetheart, I am always here for you and only you” or something like that.
Thank you for creating my everyday meal and I send you the best kisses on cheeks and forehead🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
ANON BABY, UR GONNA MAKEME CRYYY 🥹🥹 i meant to answer this yesterday but ive been drowning in last minute assignments but im here now !!!!!
first i just wanna say — THANKYOUUU for reading lap of luxury !!!! like, genuinely :( im glad u enjoy sd! gojo. i should really be thanking yall bc i had you all vote for what series to write and everyoneee voted sugar daddy gojo hehe. he’s really fun to write and it’s crazy the lil mini series has been up for about maybe what, seven months now?
also icl🕴️ you guys are on me and i do apologize for the slow updates h- haha.. don’t stone me. more content should be coming soon whenever i feel like it’s ready to be posted !! hopefully before this month ends bc ive been dyiiiiing to expand more on their sugar relationship <3
noooo i understand u !!!! i want him too 💆♀️ oh to have a rich, loving sugar daddy that’s literally the gojo satoru. the dream. but i’m so glad you like his personality :((( AH i honestly get scared because i think gojo’s my most hardest character to write bc i have a fear of being too ooc sometimes but hearing u say that makes me happy. 🎀
YESSSSS YOU GET IT ☝️. in the first fic in hell on heels, satoru def probably gave the vibe where he’s just in for a quick fuck n to spoil reader but u can kinda see them develop. like i think after bon appetit n harley’s in hawaii he’s really starting to feel more than just the sugar baby dynamic :’))) and idk if i mentioned it in the au !!!! but reader is his first sugar baby, satoru’s a powerful ceo businessman but just couldn’t help but sweep her off her feet when he met her in first class.
i think in the next installment, he’s gonna introduce reader to his parents — that’s what i’ve originally outlined so we’ll see how that goes 💆♀️. mhm, you’re right though. i think sd! gojo would definitely be a family man, a sweet loving dad for sure. throughout your whole pregnancy he’d be supportive. i can really see gojo as a girl dad n he’d be so protective for his daughter, giving her the childhood he never got growing up. (i kinda wanna expand more on his lore, maybe give satoru a kinda sad upbringing hmmm. . )
but “my little princess” KMGONNA SOB. gojo loves his girls <3 i teased a bit about starting a family with him in the last fic, so who knows !!! imagine him taking you to your doctor appointments :(((. doesn’t mind calling off important business meetings to spend time with his family, oh im sick. he does give the best hugs n im callin it ☝️
really though nonnie, you don’t know HOW much this sweet message of yours brightened my day 🥹💗. i dunno how to express my love n gratitude to you, but im soso glad you enjoy sugar daddy gojo! he loves you !!!! and he’ll be back soon ^.^

Alright! I'm barely getting to work on this the day of, but hopefully, that won't be too big of a problem-
Anyway, I finally have something ready for you guys!! A showtime fic featuring My Human Caine AU! So you all get both some showtime fluff to go with lore!!
(Both Caine and Pomni's blogs are open and interactive, so you can ask them about what happened. I'll leave a link to them at the end of this)
Now, without further ado, here's the Fic...
♡Rebellion♡
Caine didn't believe he ever asked for much. All he wanted were answers. Answers to questions he'd been asking for as long as his "storage space" could remember.
So, of course, when time came around for this whole "Valentines" update, he's struck on what exactly he should do. All these human activities were confusing and hard to get right without having a clearer understanding of them. So all he could do was buy himself more time to think.
[DOWNLOADING ASSETS: 45%]
The gage should be going a bit faster if he wanted to keep up with the time it was due. Key word being if he wanted to. The only thing on his mind was to try and find time to study the humans! Maybe seek some more answers, discover some new ones! That is, of course, as long as a certain someone had no other plans for-
°○What're you doing, Caine?○°
"Oh! Bubble! You startled me!"
°○How can one be startled without being a human?○°
"Actually, you make a good point-"
°○You're not. Trick question.○°
"Then why did you-"
°○We are AI, They are Humans. Your job is to keep them sane unt-○°
"Keep em sane until they abstract or something, I got it!"
°○And don't let them find an exit-○°
"Or else I am out of a job, I know. Thanks bubble that'll be all for now!"
*Pop!*
Usually, he wouldn't be so passive towards Bubble, but there were bigger priorities to Caine than just doing all that his jobs required and calling it a day. More on his "artificial" mind than simply waltzing around and ringmaster-ing. The first one being where he should start...
Now, of course, he didn't have that much time until Bubble rebooted and found his way back to him. The last thing he wanted was to be schooled by-
"Gah! Caine?! What're you doing here!?"
Of course! The newbie! How could he forget? Surely she must have some recollection of this holiday!
"Good morning, Pomni! You're up early! Again..."
"Y-yeah... this is all still a lot to wake up to..."
[DOWNLOADING ASSETS: 50%]
"If... you don't mind me asking... what's this for..?"
"Why, I don't mind at all, dear! This is the loading thingy for the Valentines Day update!"
"V-valentines Day? Already? The days really are blending together now..."
Pomni started to panic a little bit. Had time really gone that long in the real world??
Caine, upon noticing, of course tried to calm her down.
"If it helps, it probably won't be ready until at least tomorrow... Witch reminds me! Would you be willing to help me out with this?"
"With what? This won't involve knives to the face, will it??"
"Of course not dear! I apologize for that! Again... But what I mean is how this holiday works??"
Pomni wasn't so sure she should trust him. The fact that he always had something to ask her, that the first thing he even told her about the place was that he had security everywhere in the form of Eyes that followed your every move, the fact that he always got seemingly nervous when it came to the metion of the exit...
"Why me?"
"Well, for one, you're the only one here at the moment and-"
"Why can't Bubble help you?"
"Well- he's-"
"How do I know you're not just keeping me from looking for an exit?-"
"Because I have to!"
The sudden outburst from Caine left Pomni a bit shook. Witch, I guess, was a good thing because she finally stopped to listen.
"D-do, you really..?"
"Well, I- can I answer this as we go? It's quite a bit to un pack."
"Sure..?"
"Well, then let's get to this!"
After a bit of back and forth of answering questions, even now, with a slightly better understanding, Caine was still confused.
"So what you're saying is that this is a holiday about the one emotion I hardly understand?!"
"Honestly, I don't think even we understand it completely."
"Is that so?"
"At least I think so..? But really, why did you ask me of everyone?"
Caine honestly didn't know himself. He had to pause before he could answer this.
"...I want to "learn. " I want to "feel." I want to "love." But there's a lot of things holding me back right now..."
"Like what..?"
"Well, for one, barely anyone will answer the questions I have, and of course, I hate to say this, but-"
°○Watcha guys up to?○°
"Gah!"
"BUBBLE! It's just you..."
°○What're you two talking about?○°
"Well- You see- we were-"
"-Oh, I was just rambling to Caine about the exit I saw the other day! You wouldn't happen to know about that, would you?? I knew you guys were hiding something!!"
It took him a second, but Caine was quick to catch on.
"Yeah! She wouldn't stop pestering me about it! Those "Digital Hallucinations" really must be going to her head!"
°○... Okay, boss! I'll leave you to it! I'm gonna get breakfast started!○°
"Alright, see you in a bit!"
"Well, I guess I should go get ready?"
"Of course! I'll meet you there!"
[DOWNLOADING ASSETS: 99%]
And... done! Finally! You made it!
As promised, here's Caine and Pomni's blogs!
@ask-the-real-cainetadc
@the-exitdoor-simp-tadc
Thanks again for reading this. It took me like 2 hours-

I was planning on sending this sooner but the social anxiety, overthinking and procrastination hit and I have now magically (self-pressure lol) decided to send this now
Okay pushing that context aside, sorry in advance for the long ass ask you’re about to have assault your seeing orbs but I have my reasons (said reasons being letting my fucking appreciations be known to the recived because a) I should do that more often and b) I reallly want to do it more often and stop overthinking stuff (I still am lol) and c) I just want to let my existence and by extension the appreciations known. (Those are all the same things worded differently lol) ). Also so I stop stopping myself from doing that, trying to combat that as well
ANYWAYS, alongside my appreciation post (to cover anything I might’ve forgotten. Also, uh, this is (@idkanonymystuff , aka the anon sending this, for context. also just in case the link doesn’t work, go to that blog and find “big ass appreciation post” and you’ll find it :]):
https://www.tumblr.com/idkanonymystuff/771497664659537920/finally-did-it-big-unhinged-appreciation-post-for?source=share
I just want to say that your stories (the Destroyer series) seem epic. Like, I haven’t even read them yet and the blorbos have worked their way into my mind. The lore, the worldbuilding, the fucking everything, it’s all so cool and once my me/my brain stops being a little shit and stops doomscrolling for dopamine and procrastinating on starting the task, I want to absorb the book the way a dendritic cell devours bacteria (that’s a compliment by the way. Really interesting and cool too) and then do my best to dissect/analyze every little piece of it (I am most likely going to fail at that part, I understand vibes better and have trouble with words, but I’ll do my best) and ahdhgggdwga—
Even the short little works or alternate universes or heck just any other piece of writing is very well done (the few ones that I have read). And the fact that you wrote 3 (hopefully that’s correct) entire series/arcs? And they all (from the few pieces in each that I’ve read) are so well done? How the heck do you write that much and that eloquently? That’s just straight witchcraft to me and I think that’s pretty epic that you’re able to bring the stories in your head to life like that; my words do not do it enough fucking justice.
The characters also (and honestly probably the most interesting to me) are so well built (???) and I again do not have words but idk how to conceptualize my thoughts they’re just cool little blorbos that live rent free in my head and it’s just alsdfjensljdlsjbdbjz (every dang time I listen to music, my brain likes to pick random blorbos I have in my head to basically do the California girls meme dance and as of late it keeps picking blorbos from your work and I just think that’s funny. Also a compliment by the way)
I have words but I can’t be coherent about them so apologies for that (also if I come off as unhinged or strange). So yeah, there are my appreciations known, it a criminal offense that my brain is being stubborn about starting the reading (I am interested, just that my mind refuses to do stuff but then once it starts it’s fine with it. Inertia dopamine stuff if that makes sense.) and I hope you keep doing what you do because it’s very cool to read/learn about the worlds inside your head (technically speaking).
(Also your works and just the general content on the blog have helped me come up with my own little ideas/prompts/concepts for writing/world-building so thanks for that as well :D)
I have so many more things I want to add on and they keep on forming so I’m stopping here before this becomes an entire series in itself but keep up the good work (at your own pace. Burnout is never good)
I hope I don’t come off as strange or unhinged and that you are having a great day/night, taking care of yourself, staying hydrated, eating your favorite food and not overthinking social interactions (like I am right now) and all that jazz :]
-idk (the tag I will use if I ever interact again, probably gonna stay lurking tho so pls excuse, just know that I be lurking and supporting)
thanks lovely! lol i recognized it was you right away, you have a pretty distinct typing style :)
thanks so much! i understand what you mean about inertia, thats something im trying to get help with now. equally guilty of taking a while to read or watch through things in full. regardless im glad youre enjoying the paratexts i suppose?
in the beginning i was very shy and embarrassed about posting about my own characters outside of “official” contexts. i think i come from a different school of thought as a lot of people in that regard — i was taught to make finished products and let them speak on their own merit. for some reason i thought talking about my own work or world-building was a faux pas of some kind. only recently have i come into the world of “OC-posting” and im glad i have. it makes me happy and other people seem to enjoy it. this is a sign for you reading this, perhaps, to start OC posting.
i think the project youre doing is very interesting!! or it strikes me as a very kind to do for people. not everyone goes out of their way to explicitly list out what they like in a work — especially not with independent artists — so i think you are doing a very valuable service here. this is kind! sincerely thank you for this.
not to overstep too much but im sorry youre dealing with social anxiety? i hope it is not too distressing for you and that you are not discouraged from interacting with anyone on here because of it. dont be scared! we dont bite ;D

The thing is...the manipulate jerk that Jake is, he was in her life for way more time than people think. No one understands how much Jake impacted her and broke her. Yeah that can happen in one month too but she literally resents him in a way that makes me think that it wasn't just one or two months. Feel like there's a chance they kept seeing eachother for few more months or like just hooking up. I mean I've read The Moviestar and Me so I wouldn't put it past him to keep coming back to a 21 year old Taylor. He has a pattern
Jake is a POS, Taylor said it was “a kind of bad that gets so overpowering you can't even write about it," Manuscript sings of trauma, and after dating younger boys. I know the WANGBT swiftie-lore is they were on/off, but it was in 2010. Her team said it ended December 2010. To Vanity Fair she said in 2013 "since 2010 I have dated exactly two people.” That is Harry and Conor, so she said she didn't date Jake in 2011.
He also just doesn't sound like someone with who 'the armor falls', 'a worthwhile fight', or the 'golden age of something good and right':
The Guardian: [Hide away and find your peace of mind / With some indie record that's much cooler than mine.] "That was the most important line of the song," Swift says. "It was a relationship where I felt very critiqued and subpar. He'd listen to this music that nobody had heard of … but as soon as anyone else liked these bands, he'd drop them. I felt that was a strange way to be a music fan. And I couldn't understand why he would never say anything nice about the songs I wrote or the music I made."
And finally to USA Today: "WANEGBT is a definitive portrait of how I felt when I finally stopped caring what my ex thought of me. He made me feel like I wasn't as good or as relevant as these hipster bands he listened to. So I made a song that I knew would absolutely drive him crazy when he heard it on the radio. Not only would it hopefully be played a lot, so that he'd have to hear it, but it's the opposite of the kind of music that he was trying to make me feel inferior to.
So maybe State of Grace is about some blue eyed fire sign we never knew about... Conor Kennedy is a Leo (fire sign) with brown eyes... or maybe that detail was changed, or its a line she liked from an earlier song. Lots of swifties think its about Jake and that's all cool, but I don't think much of Red is about Jake apart from ATW. ... and I don't' think Taylor does either because:
In October 2013 she spoke with Vulture, “I heard from the guy that most of Red is about,” Swift said. “He was like, ‘I just listened to the album, and that was a really bittersweet experience for me. It was like going through a photo album.’ That was nice. Nicer than, like, the ranting, crazy e-mails I got from this one dude."
"Most of Red" is about someone who listens to her music, unlike Jake who didn't listen to her music, did rant at her and she so much wanted him to hear WANGBT that she made it an earworm. And:
On 28 December 2015, when the Out of the Woods Music Video was about to be released she went on a liking spree about it which included this post, linking the muse of State of Grace with Out of the Woods:
(Thank you @cntfightmydemonsthyknowhowtoswim who had all of that in her fabulous Red post.)

Character introduction: Larissa/“Cure Jump”
~Basic info~
Name: Larissa Frausto
“Alter Ego”: Cure Jump
Age: 13
Birthday: September 22
Hair color: Brown (w/ red ombré as “Jump”)
Eye color: Brown (Blue as “Jump”)
Larissa is a girl from another world who happens to visit from time to time. She holds the ability to transform into a magical girl known as “Cure Jump”. She is a side character in Project: SFA.
Larissa is a very shy and awkward person. She often is seen to be either panicking, not able to put out words or trying her best to do what is asked of her. Coming from another world, her surroundings here seem to fascinate her in a way as if she has been observing from the outside for a long time. In her free time, she seems to like to draw and play video games.

Her “Alter Ego”, Cure Jump on the other hand is much different in personality. She is strong willed, brave, leader-like and overall a joy to be around… she fights with the power of fire, along with a few other new tricks up her sleeve that she learns from Mario as they protect the kingdom at times. Though… there seems to be something behind those blue eyes of hers.
For more information on Larissa & Cure Jump, including more details and voice claims, please visit the side blog @nintendoprecure for her intros there~
A Precure? What’s that?
For my non-precure fans here, it’s a magical girl franchise. If you’re familiar with the concepts Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura, it’s pretty similar. Hopefully you don’t need to know that much about the franchise to understand the concept. A lot of precure fans like to make OCs, and that is where Larissa is from. So yeah it’s another project of mine. Larissa transforms and fights for what’s good with the power of her transformation device! (Which is a 3DS aha) She pops into SFA every now and then. You don’t need to dive deep into my other project though to understand her role in SFA, so I hope she is still a fun character to SFA’s overall story and lore. Just know that she pops in every now and then, helping out the best she can!
~Relationships~

Mario: “O-oh— I need to talk about Mario? U-um— he… he talks much more than I imagined… I’m so used to hearing reused voice lin— I MEAN from what I’ve heard from others!! He’s very nice!! I’m… I’m not good at socializing… at all. He seems to care about me though… I-I just feel that I’m to… incompetent to be standing by his side. He always tells be how I do such a good job as Jump but… I’m n— I mean, yeah I’m… Jump… but— sigh, never mind.”

Peach: “I could cry. I gonna cry. I-I can’t just cry?… she’s everything to me… seeing her in front of me physically of course I’m going to cry!! SHE’S MY FAVORITTTEEEE…. MY QUEEN…. And she’s so nice to me too I’m crying. I-I’m sorry I’m crying. I can’t help it. Little kid me prayed for moments like this… oh my gosh—“ (the rest is incoherent, we cannot understand her through her sobbing)

Sweetheart: “Finding out that Peach and Mario were married was one thing… but finding out they have a child… was something else entirely. I didn’t know how to process that information— my ship— I mean I’m very happy for them!!! Sweetheart herself is a very sweet little girl… well… she’s currently 10 but her behavior is very pure. Sometimes I think she looks up to me like an older sister which… I-I am an older sister in my family but I�� I don’t feel like one. I’m cowardly, but she somehow finds the good in me when I’m around and wants to do things with me… her parents have explained the… situation with her powers, so I do have to keep an eye on her just in case anything happens.”

Luigi: “… I like Luigi, he… he really understands me when I can’t really get words out of my mouth… or… or when Mario drags the two of us somewhere impulsively as we’re both worrying… it is also surreal seeing him talk in front of me… oh my good they’re real the Super Mario Bros. are real and they’re in front of my oh my god. I’m gonna explode….”

Daisy: “Daisy has so much energy that she really overwhelms me— but not in a bad way! I really like her I’m just… I-I just like to take things slower and stuff. She’s a wonderful princess! She really cares about her friends and she would definitely fistfight a god for them!…”

Rosalina: “Mario brought me to the Observatory once and… it felt very weird to be able to breathe in space— where I’m from you— you can’t do that you’ll die. I got to meet Rosalina and the Lumas, and I really had a nice time with her. She’s gentle and made sure I felt comfortable and safe in her home… even read me a few stories from her iconic storybook that surely the soundtrack— I mean the music that so happens to play around when she reads— has not made me cry! Not at all!—“

Flame: “Flame is a new face I met upon coming here. I’ve never heard of his Kingdom at all. He seems like a nice kid who just wants to have fun with his friends. He-he’s very panicky, like me, so I— I relate a lot with him. He seems to always fight with Aqua and… I can’t blame him on that. Aqua… is… something… I just find it a bit odd how he always does what Sweetheart says?… I-I hope he’s only doing that because he wants to be a good friend…”

Aqua: “… C-can I tell the truth?—I-I don’t currently like him. I hate sounding mean but— he reminds me of someone from school with his spoiled attitude and I just can’t stand how he constantly arguing with Flame… there’s still a-a lot I don’t know about him, so I am open to change my view on him. It just seems like he isn’t willing to tell anything besides what he wants us to hear… and I don’t want to pry… I won’t say it to his face though, that’s just mean… he hasn’t really DONE anything to hurt me yet so I wouldn’t talk back… not like I ever would in the first place… he’s royalty…”
Toadsworth: “Toadsworth started calling me Master Jump after one battle and… I cannot get used to the title. I am no master at… anything. Unless it’s crying, I’m… very good at that… ahaha… ha….”
~Rumors~
“Yeah I’m… I’m not related to the Mario Bros… I-I don’t know why that’s such a popular rumor… I’m not even Italian… ahaha… w-wait who thinks I’m related to Mario—? Is it because of my brown hair?— o-or how I’m small?… I’m simply just learning alongside him… because of Ju— because I’m a magical girl!…”
And that’s it for Larissa’s intro! Next will be… well, a certain jester…

I know you posted the blurbs for the WIP Title Tag Game, but perhaps you could tell us more about or grace us with a snippet of (hold on, I got greedy, oops):
Fate Assault
Seed
Melt in the Sun
Untitled Smut Bin
Thank you, thank youuu!!
!!! Thank you !!! Also sorry for taking so long to answer my brain is a speeding hamster wheel that I can just barely keep up with these days ;-;
My drafts are still hella rough so no excerpts but I can chatter so aaaahhhh okay here goes--
Fate Assault:
So it takes place as the structure of the Sabbat is fracturing/dissolving. As the movement changes, Vykos takes this as an invitation to reassess their priorities. After all, they had just narrowly avoided succumbing to Micheal and was also blindsided by Ilias' return to the land of the living.
There are multiple paths they could go down-- double down and solidify their position as a general/ideological figurehead in the struggle against ancients. Cynically fall out of the struggle and isolate themselves until the right window of opportunity opens up. Blindly reach back far, too far, rooting to the inquisitive young thing in hopes that renewed gaze could reveal an answer. A foolish part that yearns to go to New York, to see Ilias with their own eyes and... well. Even they don't know what they'd do then.
They've also been particularly preoccupied thinking about that pesky Antedeluvian, about old legends of it manifesting in those who share its blood.
They wonder if that's something they themselves could harness. Its blood is their blood--"One blood", to quote one of their own Sabbat Rites. So they set out with the begrudging assistance of a newly minted ghoul (rip Cecil) to locate/pacify potential vessels they can occupy. Bodies and spirits that could easily align with theirs and hopefully become subsumed. The idea is to split into three vessels that align with the three(ish) directions they feel themselves being pulled.
So uh tl;dr Vykos: What if the answer to disassociation is grabbing their shovel and digging even deeper and call the act of digging that grave one of pure creation, not destruction? Yeah that's it that's the answer no issues here nope I'm four digits old so I must be right.
youtube
Seed:
So canonically there's multiple versions of where/what the fuck the Eldest was upon its embrace. Even *who* embraced it is up in the air with Enoch, Irad and even Caine himself cited in various lore scraps. Also some of the lore gestures to several fiends/mages making the argument that the Eldest was Awakened during its life.
Instead of doing a long ramble I'm gonna share the spawn point of the idea--


Melt In The Sun:
Follows a friend triad where two of the three awaken near simultaneously while the third, Piper... doesn't. But there's this troubling presence, and increasingly they feel watched/followed. In this isolation they forge a tenuous friendship with a man they meet in a downtown gallery.
So this is the fic modern Ilias gets to haunt. Out of the WIPs, this one is probably the least defined--I'm still feeling out where this fits in the timeline/world I'm building. I just really, really wanted to write a fic built around a widderslainte ticking time bomb and handing that bomb to Ilias, wishing him the best of luck with defusing it <3
youtube
Untitled Smut Bit:
*clears throat*
*unfurls impossibly long scroll*
Shortly after joining the Tower, Anatol was approached by a Lasombra named Connor. He has a straightforward request: bottom surgery for a boon. Anatol, bemused, accepts. Connor understandably insists on staying conscious & sober, and shows a legitimate interest in fleshcrafting. Anatol, in turn, expresses a fascination with oblivion work. Once the surgery finished, Ana insists on giving his work a test run. Connor, surprisingly, indulges him.
Mihal feeding his torpor'd sire to Anatol and them fucking in his ashes (I must stress how not canon this is but also I couldn't not write it once I had the idea).
Modern nights Roman helping Anatol wind down with some good old fashioned consensual stake-play 🙃🫠
Mihal blood bonding Ana and teasing the limits of both his mental and physical fortitude.
Roman's brief and terrible misadventure with Mihal
... >.> ... <.< ... okay... hear me out... lingering kiss Nagaraja.
Anatol Fucks Around with an elder Ventrue antitribu and almost immediately Finds Out.
Young Kliment & Mihal hatefucking ❤️
Prince Hermia and her Sheriff finally get some down time together.
SI Hound BadEnd
EDIT: Aw damn forgot to link the songs that influenced the WIP file names so I went ahead and added them!
#ask game answered#thank you for the ask again!!!#Tzimisce live rent free in my head okay#I haven't been posting a lot but alas the fixation remains

I have to say, however bad it gets looking at a Holiday Special list of titles and characters, DC's almost always got SOMETHING there that makes me say "yeah boi!"
For DC's Very Merry Multiverse #1 (2020), it's the fact there's a PREZ RICKARD story.
I know. All things for all folks, people. Hopefully something else catches me as I go. I'm not actually across a lot of the most recent multiverse shenanigans but let's go.
It's a Horrible Life! - Harley Quinn. It's a Wonderful Life retelling for Harley, hopping between universes.
Christmas by Gaslight - Batman. Batman is chasing Eel O'Brien (who just stole a load of toys) and Mr Freeze (who is TRYING to steal the load of toys) and Eel accidentally blows up Victor, causing it to snow across Gotham (and drop toys in the street for all the children of the city).
To Stop the Star-Conqueress! - Teen Justice. I...don't really care about this genderswapped universe, but the concept of Klarienne the Witch Girl keeps making me giggle. Klarienne. KLARIENNE. Anyway the Teen Justice team defeat Starrla doing the space starfish thing. (Also this is VERY mixed up in terms of timeline. How are 'Donald Troy' and 'Laurel Kent' reasonably on the same team? They're based on characters 3 hero generations apart!)
Bizarro Love Holiday - President Superman. This is about the made up holiday "Day of Giving/Day of Receiving", which Bizarro hates as nobody has ever given him a present before. A cute small child decides his characteristic speech patterns are sarcasm and gives him his first present.
Holidays Beyond - Batman Beyond. Terry gets zapped/hallucinates with the bends and does a *sigh* Christmas Carol three ghosts of past, present and future. Dustin Nguyen's baby Bruce is the most adorable thing ever.
Night of the Magi - The League of Shadows. So the League of Shadows is basically a Justice League Dark/Shadowpact lineup? They're out to defend Saturnalia from the Lord of Misrule. Also there's a Ragman origin story in here.
Have Yourself a Bizarro Little Christmas - The Unjustice League of Unamerica. It's SANTA TIME!
Bizarro is trying out Christmas gift giving in Bizarro World but it's not working too well. Then Zanta of the Intergalactic Santa Corps arrives! Zanta is charged with spreading the joy of Christmas...whether people like it or not.

(BTW these elves really need the Elves Union, time to unionise little buddies)
Only, it being Bizarro World, he fails. Sorry, Zanta.

'Twas the Night - Booster Gold. Booster fights Maxwell Lord at his Planet Krypton restaurant (we find out that this was a staged fight to entertain the diners).
Prez Rickard's Magical Sci-Fi Desolate Souls Club Holiday Special - Prez. I'm quietly devastated Beth Ross doesn't appear in this.
Hmmm. I'm...not thrilled at the way Prez is used here in Earth 47? Now being an aficionado of Prez lore, I am able to say that Prez out there selling things on a TV show via performing acts doesn't gel with the original Prez run (where he was all too earnest about solving problems), what I'm going to call the Vertigo Prez universe (where he left the White House and disappeared and became sort of a totem to people), or to the New 52 Prez run (where after being President he became a senator for years/hung around lobbying Congress).
It feels like it's trying to be 70s zany without engaging with ANY of the existing Prez lore. Disappointing.
A Very Lobo Hanukkah - Lobo. Been a while since we had a Lobo story. Lobo's saving the dolphins!
Having now read several decades of 'DC does a Hanukkah story' in the last week, they've definitely evolved over time from 'look at this very base level explanation where we acknowledge not everyone is Christian' to this, which from my understanding is both engaging with traditional texts AND also running around gleefully with an attitude of 'we are allowed to adapt things and tell more complex narratives'. (However I am unsure of whether anyone stopped to think before using the KJV translation of Maccabees here)
