@advency​ ( konstantin. ) / claire starter call.

“You know, the least you could do is grunt, or somethin’. It really is just like talkin’ to a wall, and my older brother says just about three words a week.” Claire huffs out a quiet laugh, not minding the silence that follows. It’s not a feeling he’s unfamiliar with, being met with silence despite his earnest attempts at conversation. It’s also not really something that bothers him, though, so there’s no hesitation at all in his droning on.

“Here, I’ll talk about somethin’ you actually care about, how’s that?” He grins, focusing his attention on the road ahead while still carrying on. “How many guards do you think that paranoid good-for-nothing is gonna have on him while we scout the place out? My bets are on at least ten. Maybe not right there around him, but definitely keepin’ an eye. I know those types. They’re all over the place back home, yanno, makes my brothers’ lives a little harder, but it’s never been an issue for me.”

His expression turns serious for just a moment, almost contemplative. “Still, it’s gotta be worse than normal if they’ve put people like us on it together. That practically spells bad news. Exciting, right?” Something in Claire’s eyes flashes, and he glances over at Konstantin for just a second. “It might even be a good workout, if we’re really lucky.”

the art of success was something akin to a dance / a delicate balance between strategy and ability / a heartless act with the sweetest aftertaste — it was the intoxication that came with the absolute crushing of an opposing force. and what was life if not for enjoying the little victories? and with such wonderful company! @advency was a creature surrounded by mystery and pantalone did enjoy the occasional puzzle. ❛  you’re the first to hear the news. it took some negotiation but the fatui have claimed a place of residence in fontaine, legally binding by the hydro archon themself.  ❜ ah, but he wouldn’t be initiating a conversation if it was going to end there. ❛  are you headed to the capitol? i was on my way to visit her royal highness, myself — if you wouldn’t mind the company.  ❜

My cat: spends hours cleaning herself, even interrupting play fights and treat time to do so for deplorable nasty nettlesome nano-particles upon her shiny coat

Also my cat: strolls into my chamber wearing an entire spider metropolitan area upon her back, neck, and especially face, and gets big mad when I try to get her to stay still for a few seconds so I can remove the cobweb chain-mail she's picked up from the basement and decided to ignore

anyway, i've been watching youtube videos on star trek, because why not, and i just need to know

from @advency ;  the game is set.  we’re fucked. / from scara to pantalone <333

such crude hopelessness was enough to draw a laugh from behind polite smile and hidden fangs / a sight so uncommonly seen that their well constructed facade broke within seconds — what a shame, that reunions like these were so few and far between. head tilts to spare a glance down at him before moving to cover that still there grin with the back of a hand. ❛  forgive my rudeness, scaramouche. it’s not you i’m laughing at.  ❜ aahh, what an awful little liar! ❛  i’ve just never seen someone so quick to admit defeat. the game has hardly even started, after all!  ❜ a crueler man would press the topic further / bury the blade until only the hilt remains seen / remove the possibility of escape and let the runaway face the consequences of their actions —— but pantalone’s cruelty lied elsewhere, was left for another branch of the game.

for now, simple humiliation would be enough. elbow rests atop their crossed arm and all he sends his way is a smile / a smile / a laugh and a taunt. ❛  well, i won’t force your hand. by all means, feel free to forfeit — we’re all well aware that your true talents lie in running away.  ❜

Well, this is a little something I have been working on for the past weeks...I don't know if you could call it an AU, but...I still hope someone likes it. It's just fun to draw, so I will definitely finish it no matter what :3. The story takes place few weeks (few months?) into the apocalypse, so my sweet turtle boys are still looking quite young. Oh, and sorry in advence for any spelling mistakes, English is not my native language! This is just a part 1, part 2 and probably part 3 will be posted in near future...I hope😅.

Part 2

[tiya-minuscule]

Here it is !! Thank in advence if anyone wants to support my work there ! It would really help me on my day to day life !

(also, it's litterally the first time I use this site, so plz, if you see anything wrong, tell me !)

Cedric and Wormwood's childhood together

In the "Substitute Cedric", at the end of the episode, Cedric talks about teaching the royal prep students a spell that can turn rocks into ravens. The fandom also noticed this, because somehow it may be implying that Wormwood was a rock before. And I also believe that this is true, or else they wouldn't have put that in the episode because it would cause misinterpretation of their characters- there's a huge chance of this being true.

Cedric knows the spell, which means that he did it before. The only raven we have in the show is Wormwood, who happens to be his familiar. So like. Okay.

CEDRIC DID THE SPELL AND MADE WORMWOOD. It's not like my first headcanon: that they met when Cedric was young and still at Hexley Hall, and someone in the school staff (because it's an advenced spell, Cedric can't cast it) did a spell who would guarantee Wormy's life while Cedric is still alive (or else he would already be dead by now, he's a bird, there needs to have a spell somewhere) because he's his familiar now. I believe that everyone needed to find a creature to be their familiar at some point at Hexley Hall, in the first years (because having an animal assistant is necessary). But at first I was thinking like "no, okay, Cedric found Wormwood somewhere and brought him home, they did the spell and now he's his familiar" but some days later I watched that episode and found out about the "turning rocks into ravens spell"

You know what this means? Cedric literally made Wormwood. He gave him life after a rock. So his betrayal gets more painful and has a whole different meaning.

I guess we can compare this situation to a son turning against his father, somehow. I don't believe that Wormwood sees him as a father, actually very from that. He just thinks that he was a middle schooler who cast a spell on a rock and since then Wormwood is his familiar, that's all. They grew up together, more like brothers or "best (worst) friends" I would say. @shychick-52 has a good character analysis of him in her fic "The Master Wand", that explains that Wormwood's anger comes from the fact that he was just as miserable as Cedric, but Cedric got help. He got out of the dark, but he didn't held Wormwoods hand (wing) to pull him from there too. While he was getting better and being influenced by Sofia to be a good person, the same didn't happened to Wormwood, who was so deep in his hatred, insecurity (not getting other people's approval and believing that just being nice wasn't enough), revenge that he didn't change his mind. While Cedric had Sofia to help him, Wormwood had no one. It was assumed that just because Cedric got better, his raven would get better too, because of couse, a familiar obeys and thinks the same way as his master, right? He could have been saved by Cedric or Clover. But that didn't happened. And I still think he deserves a redemption arc btw, or at least an episode.

But yes, the thought about Wormwood being created after a rock by Cedric it's implied in stf and it makes the whole situation more tense. Imagine how Wormwood was feeling, imagine how Cedric was feeling. Wormwood's reasons are understandable but it's a little weird the fact that he choose to betray Cedric so fast with someone who he doesn't even know yet (Prisma). It was REALLY FAST. He didn't think twice. And it confuses me why he choose to be so many years by Cedric's side, when he could have just ran away like that at any moment. If he always thought that Cedric was an idiot then he should have ran to another master years ago, because as we can see, he doesn't even think twice before leaving him.

When Cedric says something like "what about all those years of friendship" it's not just about their friendship. (Headcanon part) It's about when the whole class needed to turn a rock into an animal to make that animal their familiar, for each animal there was a different spell and all his classmates got the best ones first: owls, cats. He got one of the last ones, a raven, the one no one wanted, just like him.

And he was the only one who repeatedly was making feathers, vegetables, while everyone was laughing, making fun of him and whispering about "him being him" again, looking at him with disgust, asking why he was still trying- and the situation was starting to get humiliating. Everyone had already finished. And after so many tries, everyone looking at him with a judgemental look like he was in the middle of the room (just like how happened at the incident, he remembers that really well), Cedric gave up.

Maybe he watched while his teacher did the "familiar will live until their master is alive" spell in each one of the students, making sure that they all were now officially connected. But Cedric didn't had one, so he was the only one who just watched in silence. His teacher went to him, and as always he told Cedric to keep trying later, which made him feel a little better, but not a lot.

He kept trying, trying and trying after school, maybe at night (Hexley Hall boarding school headcanon time). And when he finally did it, the rock turned into a baby bird, and Cedric started crying out of happiness. He was able to make a real crow- and the baby was just in the palm of his hand making little noises and looking at him with a confused look, with not even a thought going through his mind. The baby raven didn't knew a thing but Cedric loved him already, just like the feeling of getting your first dog but this time with the whole stituation of the spell, Cedric being pressured and judged, and now he finally did it.

He immediately knew that this bird would be his best friend. He was a little weird looking, just like a little fluff ball, but Cedric was a little weird too, that was one more thing that they had in common. And he was so proud and loved his new bird so much that he wouldn't mind even if he didn't had feathers. What happened was that in the next day everyone went to class with their new familiars and Cedric was there with his baby bird, all proud of himself. Everyone saw this and some even thought that he got the bird somewhere, that he was pretending the spell worked just so that he wouldn't make a fool out of himself in today's class. But somehow they proved it was true, or the teacher just simply believed in him, the thing was that he finally had his familiar and the spell was casted on him to make his familiar permanently. And since then he carried the bird everywhere.

He gave him the name Wormwood after the herb. Maybe there was a funny situation with a wormwood and the baby bird involved, and that's when Cedric decided his name. But the thing is: they were always together since their childhood. I'm not really giving a deep dive into their relationship right now, so there's no conclusion to this post, but I wanted to share my headcanon. I made a drawing yesterday and their childhood together is in my mind ever since.

That's what I made (visual representation of the scenes):

I think I'm gonna make more but idk. Hexley Hall Cedric is my roman empire
