Cats of ReefClan

Some designs I had made for a now defunct file. All of the cats except for Cavemist were renamed by me lmao, I wanted the names to be on theme. Ospreykit became a warrior and I named her Ospreydusk, Pelicankit became Cavemist’s medicine cat apprentice (decided by the RNG) and I named him Pelicandawn.

The story I had made was that these cats were originally from a clan called CliffClan, but their territory was made unlivable by Twolegs and a fire broke out that had killed the majority of the clan. These 7 jumped into the sea below the cliff and stayed afloat on a fallen tree, eventually washing up on a faraway shore. Seaspray was made leader at only 16 moons because he was the son of CliffClan’s leader, Galestar.

My inspiration for the story came from the song Alone and Forsaken by Hank Williams.

The file is now defunct because at some point Seastar’s personality changed to bloodthirsty and I hadn’t realized until after I had saved over it and the story turned an entire 180 degrees and I just hated how it ended up. But I had already drawn these up and I really liked how they turned out so I’m posting them anyway.

Oh shit it's that dude from Puzzlevision : O!

Anyways here's my take on Mr. Puzzles (P.V as of now)

I also wanted to give him a redeemable outfit that fits him well :3

HEADCANON TIME

Since there is part of the song where he "cuts his face off", to put on the TV, he actually has a face, and he can't talk unless he either has a mic or his TV head

He uses They/He pronouns

He doesn't mind being called P.V

He's Asexual as FUCK

P.V gets along with Jax pretty well (HOLY SHIT SMG4/DIGITAL CIRCUS CROSSOVER-)

He has every trick up his sleeve to make people laugh

He refers to his friends as "Popstars", "Superstars", "Seastars", "Rockstars", and "Shooting Stars"

He sings at times, when he sings now, he has a more vocaloid like voice

He, and Jax watch Analog Horror at times

Hope ya guys enjoy this design i made of P.V ^^

I think Daemon doesn't remember what his mother looked like, only through stories and pictures. Alyssa had one green eye and one violet one and blonde hair, without a trace of Targaryen silver. Daemon hallucinated her with typical Targaryen features sliver and purple eyes at Harenhall.

Imagine if Alyass II ( Daemon and Laena's third child) had heterochromia one red and green eye just like her grandmother. Daemon loves her but reminds him of his mother who doesn't remember, and Laena the mother of his first three children.

(Daemon was only three when she passed away but Viserys remember her because he was older.)

Daemon felt like he had been stuck with lightning the first time Alyssa opened her eyes.

He hadn't seen them at first, when he picked her up off the floor, she was sleeping soundly, eyes shut. She was a newborn, it wasn't out of the ordinary.

Her skin was the same color as Laena's, as Baela's and Rhaena's. the little wisp of hair was white, so he assumed she'd have purple eyes. Even if she didn't, he'd love her anyways. she was his baby.

Alyssa didn't open her eyes until she was in Baela's arms. A small yawn escaped her lips and her eyes fluttered open briefly and he saw the mismatched color.

Red, and Green. Green like his mother's had been.

He felt stunned. Like his tongue was glued to his mouth and he was in quicksand.

"Wow." Baela and Rhaena breathed out, looking down at their baby sister. "She's so pretty." Baela whispered and Rhaena nodded.

Alyssa let out a little murmured whine as shifted to move closer to Baela, falling back asleep.

Their little sister.

His baby.

(Viserys is also stunned stiff when he sees it, red and green eyes peering at him over Rhaenys' shoulder as she finally managed to steal her away from Daemon.

"...Mother...." He muttered, looking like he was going to faint.

Alyssa's face scrunched up as she sniffled and Rhaenys cooed at her softly.

"There, There, my little seastar." She soothed her softly, Corlys looking down with a soft look, smoothing back the white curls.

So much like their Laena.)

Masterlist

@writingmysanity @kenkenmaaa @foggyturtleknightangel @browneyedhufflepuff

Warnings! Some light petty and nipple play. The reader is inexperienced.

Shanks takes you straight to his cabin when the two of you return to the Red Force. He gives you a shirt and some loose pants to change into and you happily take his offer of using his bathroom first. You come back out to find that Shanks has changed as well, into some pants and little else. You gulp at his lack of dress but crawl into the big bed anyway. You aren't inside the captain's rooms often, since the man is usually the one to come find you in your own room, but you can't deny that Shanks' space is already more comfortable than your own. 

The Captain watches you, eyes half-lidded and intense as you sit next to his spread-out form on the bed. He has wanted you here since the night he met you, and as much as he would love to show you just how much you affect him, how much you make him long to be close. This is about you, not him and his dark desires. He opens his arm for you and you shyly tuck yourself against his chest and he wraps his arm around you, caloused hand playing with the waistband of your pants. 

"Comfy?" Shanks asks as he curls his arm tighter around you. You nod and snuggle into his side, blush on your cheeks when you feel his lips pull up into a smile with how he has his face pressed so close to yours, "That's good, Seastar. That's the most important thing here."

You swallow thickly and frown a bit. While you appreciate his efforts, you don't want this to be so one-sided. You wanted to be pushed, to be introduced to new things. You don't want him to think that you can't handle what he wants from you, even if the bits you have seen of his desire still scare you a little. But you couldn't avoid it forever, and you didn't want to anymore either.

"Can we try something?" You ask him quietly and shift so that you can see his face. Shanks is a very expressive man, and you've come to enjoy watching your soulmate. You see him swallow and your eyes track the movement of his throat. 

"Whatcha thinking, Sweetheart?" he murmurs and you shiver when the pads of his fingers graze your sensitive flesh. You watch his pupils dilate when you suck in a sharp breath as he begins to draw small circles along your skin. 

"I want you to touch me," You blurt out and Shanks breaths sharply through his nose at your admission, "I know you don't want to make me uncomfortable, and I appreciate that, but I don't want to be fumbling around anymore. I want to know what it feels like for you to touch me." 

"Fuck," Shanks rumbles and his hand tightens on your hip. The touch is possessive, harsher than how he usually would handle you as if you've woken a monster that will be hard-pressed to go back to sleep. Shanks rolls the two of you and your back is pushed into the fluffy pillows. He hovers over you, breath heavy as he fights to control the impulse to take, take, take. 

"Gimmie a safe word, _," Shanks demands, and gods, the way he says your name has you whining like a bitch in heat. Shanks leans in, lips pressing to your throat before he opens his mouth to lave his tongue along your flesh. He groans in happiness, finally able to taste you even in the simplest ways. He shifts to rest on his knees and then grabs the edge of your shirt and rucks it up to expose your stomach. He leans down to kiss your belly, grinning when he feels you shiver, "Quick, Baby, times ticking."

"Ahh, Saki," You decide when your eyes land on the innocent bottle resting on the end table. The Yonko snickers at your choice of word, but he has his safe word now and commits it to memory. 

"I'll stop as soon as I hear you say it, Sweetheart, You're at the helm here," Shanks rumbles and peeks up through his bangs to watch you. He needs you to agree before he does anything, but you are already nodding before he can even finish his sentence. He grins, hand staking up to hold the curve of your jaw, "Good girl," he praises and you flush even more.

Shit. You did not think that something like that would affect you so much. You squirm under Shanks, shivering when he leans down to continue to press hot, open-mouthed kisses along your stomach. The pirate leaves nothing untouched, and you feel that unfamiliar heat build in your gut. He moves up, breathe tickling your ribs, and making a whine build low in your throat. No one has ever touched you like this before.

"Sit up for me, Baby," Shanks instructs and you do so in a daze. Your soulmate bunches his oversized shirt up and goes to lift it over your head. Nerves shoot through you at the action, and you realize that this will be the first time Shanks will have seen you bare, and fuck. What if he doesn't like what he sees?

You don't want to disappoint him though, so you carefully sit up, and then Shanks is tugging your shirt off and flinging it away before you can even think about protesting. The cool air of the cabin has you shivering and raising your arms instinctively to cover yourself, but Shanks is there, gently pushing you back into the bed and looming over you. The look on his face has you biting your lip and looking away.

The Yonko looks hungry for you. His dark eyes shine black in the low light as he gazes down at you. It is then that your soulmate decides to let the walls holding back his desire for you fall, and you can't even begin to describe the feeling of it. His want sweeps through your body like a raging fire, leaving you squirming against the blankets and shyly reaching for the redhead. 

"Shanks, please," you whisper and your voice seems to have set him off. 

The Captain crashes into you, lips melding against yours as if they were made to be there, which they were. He balances on his knees and allows his hand to roam freely. He gently strokes your jaw, fingers trailing down your throat and then to your chest where he gently cradles your breast in his caloused hand. You sigh into the kiss, and he breaks the lip lock to grin down at you. 

"So proud of you, Seastar. Letting me touch you like this," Shanks coos and emphasizes his words by applying more pressure in his embrace, and the touch has you biting your lip. The sounds you were making were just so embarrassing. 

Shanks chuckles at seeing you hold in the lovely sounds he had you making. He wants to watch you break, shatter into millions of pieces under him as he shows you just what kind of ecstasy he can deliver. He dances his fingers up, grinning smugly when the pad of his thumb grazes over your nipple and you buck under him at the unexpected zing of pleasure. 

"Did you like that, Sweetheart?" Shanks asks and you know by the tone of his voice that he expects an answer out of you. You crack your eyes open, and hell when had you even shut them, to lock eyes with your soul mate. You twitch when he thumbs your nipple again and narrows your eyes in a glare at his smug little face.

"I liked it," you say quietly, but thankfully, that was enough for the Captain for he grinned, and you were rewarded with a sweet peck on the lips. 

"Good. That's what I like to hear," Shanks says and then he bends, lips meeting the sensitive flesh of your throat so that he can mark you just like how he has been dreaming of doing since he found you in that shitty tavern on that forgettable island. He closes his thumb and forefinger around your abused bud, pinching it gently and then rolling it between his fingers. You hiss at the feeling, hips jerking up to meet his for a half second. 

Shanks doesn't stop until he has left more than a few dark marks against your skin, and he grins in satisfaction upon seeing them. Sure, no one on the crew would dare even think about touching you, but anyone else on the island would definitely think twice about approaching you. No one ever denied that Shanks was a selfish, possessive bastard. You were gonna be pissed later when you saw them.

Well, there was still plenty of skin that he wanted to cover. 

Down he went, leaving behind hot open-mouth kisses to your chest until he reached your unoccupied breast, and proceeded to lull his tongue out and scrape it over your nipple. You whine for him, so Shanks does it again, swirling the tip of his tongue against the nub before wrapping his lips around it and sucking harshly. His teeth join the fray, nipping lightly and he grunts when you slide one of your hands into his shaggy hair. You grip the red stands tight, nails scraping against his scalp and making him sigh.

Shanks releases your nipple, rising and kissing his way across the valley of your breasts and then sucking your other nub into his mouth. You wiggle below him, shoving your chest up, and seeking more of the heady rapture that your soul mate happily gave to you. You could feel it over the bond, and it enhanced everything between you and the Yonko.    

The connection between the two of you flows freely. Open like the crashing ocean that Shanks and his soulmate have made their home. You feel at ease, safe between Shanks and his bed. He begins to ease up when he feels you start to relax back into the plush sheets and cozy pillows. He releases your nipple, leaving the abused flesh with a parting kiss. The Captain shifts to the side and pulls the blanket up to your chin, tucking you to his chest and snuggling close. 

"Shanks?" You ask, eyes half open as you stare up at him. There is a soft look on his face, one that you have seen a lot more often nowadays. Your sluggish mind melts further and you smile as you snuggle into his side. 

"You're exhausted, Sweetheart," He soothes you with a kiss on the brow and pulls the blankets closer to the two of you. They would go no further tonight, but Shanks was satisfied in knowing that you were far more open to his affections, "Go to sleep, I've got you." 

You mumble some type of answer and drift off easily. Shanks isn't far behind his best girl, and he presses his lips to your brow one last time before he shuts his eyes. He'd need to be up early to face your wrath after all.        

[atopvisenyashill]

what role do you think shiera seastar played in daeron ii's governance of westeros?

okay so first of all. shiera is roughly the same age/generation as all of daeron’s kids - the timeline is vague but the gap of years she could have been born in is like right at the tail end of rhaegal and maekar’s births to several years after. so i imagine that not dissimilar to daenerys, daeron takes more of a very distant brother/paternal role with her. a girl is not a threat the way a boy is, she’s young enough to be his own kid, and she's a motherless child, so it’s fine, she’s raised at court with his kids and he doesn't complain too much about it. i do wonder if part of shiera being raised at court is instigated by myriah and also what "raised at court" could even mean - Maekar is anywhere from like 4 to 10 when daeron becomes king (bloodraven is roughly around the same age as Maekar, maybe a year to four years older) which means Shiera is under 10 as well, as young as a toddler (i mean hell, if she's born at the tail end of Aegon's reign, she could be the same age as Valarr who is Daeron's grandson). So depending on when it is she's born, is she at KL or does Daeron ask for her to be brought to Dragonstone? I mean, how set up was Daeron's court at Dragonstone? It had to have existed at least on a small scale because Daeron takes the capital bloodlessly after Aegon IV dies.

SO. Anyways I think it's not likely she does very much at the beginning of his reign due to being around the same age as, at the oldest his second youngest son and at the youngest the same age as his first grandchild. Coupled with the fact that her mother is dead and foreign born, being from Lys, she likely lives the life of a typical lady at court but potentially without the pressure to marry. Yes, she's a bastard, but she's a legitimized one, beloved by the royal family, with a sister-by-law who comes from a culture that seems to believe if you have a bastard, you best act like a responsible parent for that child (not to say Dorne doesn't have it's own bastard based issues, see: Obara BUT I do think someone like Robert would not be allowed to just leave all his bastards all scattered about willy nilly. I think it's likely those children and their mothers have the ability to push for acknowledgement in a way a lot of bastards north of the marches don't). I also think the fact that Shiera's mother is foreign born would help ingratiate her with Myriah and Daeron's kids - we know Larra felt like an outcast, I think it's likely Shiera bonds with the royal family over feeling like she's culturally on the outs.

By the time she's an adult, the Blackfyre Rebellion is in full swing. So - does she take on a more advisory role when she gets older? I think it's possible. Here are some choice quotes:

"You've known queens and princesses. Did they dance with demons and practice the black arts?" "Lady Shiera does. Lord Bloodraven's paramour. She bathes in blood to keep her beauty. And once my sister Rhae put a love potion in my drink, so I'd marry her instead of my sister Daella."

-the Sworn Sword

Bloodraven proved to be a capable Hand, but also a master of whisperers who rivaled Lady Misery, and there were those who thought he and his half sister and paramour, Shiera Seastar, used sorcery to ferret out secrets. It became common to refer to his "thousand eyes and one," and men both high and low began to distrust their neighbor for fear of their being a spy in Bloodraven's employ. 

-The World of Ice and Fire

"You can know a man by his friends, Egg. Daeron surrounded himself with maesters, septons, and singers. Always there were women whispering in his ear, and his court was full of Dornishmen. How not, when he had taken a Dornishwoman into his bed, and sold his own sweet sister to the prince of Dorne, though it was Daemon that she loved? Daeron bore the same name as the Young Dragon, but when his Dornish wife gave him a son he named the child Baelor, after the feeblest king who ever sat the Iron Throne.

-the Sword Sword

We know very little about Shiera at this moment in time but I think it's not unlikely that for the middle part of Daeron's reign, when it seems Baelor & Valarr have taken the lead on going out and about in the kingdom, that Shiera was acting in some sort of advisory capacity (nothing official, similar to Elaena in that she's working behind the scenes rather than sitting on the council) and some people had a bit of an issue with it. I think it's not unlikely that as Daeron got older, he might have distanced himself from her but by that point she had an in: no i'm not talking about bloodraven i'm talking about Aerys. Aerys immediately made Bloodraven hand and while I give Daeron some shit for not getting Bloodraven under control, it's ultimately Aerys that really lets Bloodraven go crazy with his police state and I think Shiera has big hand in that, perhaps on par with Lady Mysaria. Or at least, I hope she does lmao, and I think it's interesting that both Mysaria and Serenei, Shiera's mom, are from Lys. Maybe Shiera being mentioned in conjunction with Mysaria and Bloodraven is nothing, but I think what's most likely is that as Shiera got older and started dabbling with more magic, she took up a sort of Court Sorceress role a la Melisandre, at the behest of King Aerys I himself - and why wouldn't he turn to her? It's likely they were raised together!

The Case of Rachel Elizabeth Dare

Rachel Elizabeth Dare is an enigma. Leo thinks that she's made up. Hazel and Bianca throw their lot in with her being a goddess. Nico swears it's a coincidence. And so on and so forth. No one knows who - or what - Rachel Elizabeth Dare is. And so they meet to discuss it. (It's a crackfic. Don't take this summary too seriously.)

for best results, read on ao3!

trigger warnings: the COVID-19 pandemic is referenced

[TRANSCRIPT OF THE MEETING OF JULY 6TH, 2052 (as estimated), as recorded by Grover Underwood]

ANNABETH CHASE, OWL: That exhausts our list. Are there any other concerns to be made?

LEO VALDEZ, MECH: Yes, Head Councilwoman. I bring the Case of Rachel Elizabeth Dare. I believe she is not real and never as been; you must surely be playing a prank on me!

PERCY JACKSON, SEASTAR: Rachel is real! We've all seen her! Except Leo, of course.

OWL: I agree. Rachel is real; she is also immortal.

NICO DI ANGELO, SKELETON: No, it's just a coincidence. I think you're lying about seeing her in the Hadrian period, at least.

HAZEL LEVESQUE, GEMSTONE: I saw what I saw! And it's not just a coincidence! She's got to be a god.

SHADOW: Perhaps even God Himself.

(GEMSTONE, SKELETON's sister, sputters. SKELETON is notably Catholic despite his time travelling. But who are we to judge?)

BIANCA DI ANGELO, SHADOW: She's pretty enough to be a god. I agree with Hazel.

(And there's the third member of our sibling trio. Bianca is not as religious as Nico, and prefers pissing him off, anyway.)

SKELETON, increasingly frustrated: That's only because you like to kiss her.

SHADOW: Guilty as charged, I suppose.

OWL: Wait, guys, we need a spreadsheet. Leo's under 'nonbeliever'-

MECH: Nonbeliever!?

OWL: Shut up. Percy, you're-

SEASTAR: Immortal.

OWL: Great. Me too. Nico is under coincidence, and Hazel and Bianca are under goddess.

GEMSTONE: Well, Nico's wrong. How can there be a bunch of identical people named Rachel Elizabeth Dare? In places no one should be named Rachel Elizabeth Dare, no less!

MECH: I still think you guys are lying!

SKELETON: Shut up, Leo.

MECH: Hey!

GROVER UNDERWOOD, PANCRIER (and your transcriptor): Put me down under fellow unregistered time traveller.

OWL: How can she be an unregistered time traveller? Plus, if she was, she'd stay far away from us registered time travellers?

PANCRIER: Bianca was the first to see her, right? Maybe Rachel developed a crush and decided that the rest of us were safe.

SHADOW: Come on! We're not dating or even remotely involved!

GEMSTONE, dryly: Stop lying. I walked in on you making out with her in a closet!

SKELETON: Can't believe Bianca's cheating on the Rachels with other Rachels.

GEMSTONE: They're the same person! And why are you judging me for dating a god!

MECH: so you are dating. Or is this just a cover-up for the fact that Bianca can't get a date.

GEMSTONE: Shut up!

DREW TANAKA, MIRROR: I've met her. We went shopping for makeup and dresses.

MECH: So she talks to you and not me!?

MIRROR: It's because I'm better than you.

SHADOW: Drew's right.

MECH: I hate you all. Why am I here?

OWL: You couldn't live without us.

SEASTAR: Also, I'm the only person who can surpass your sarcastic genius.

MECH, notably sarcastic: Of course. How will I ever catch up?

PANCRIER: We are part of a dignified organization. We are part of a dignified organization.

GEMSTONE, SHADOW, OWL, and SEASTAR: of course.

PANCRIER: I should quit.

SEASTAR: I'd miss you, though.

PANCRIER: Never mind. I will not quit.

MIRROR: Sap.

OWL: Shut up, Drew.

MIRROR: Why do I go to these meetings, anyway?

OWL: Because Piper quit.

MIRROR: Piper never had to handle a deadly situation in her life.

OWL: But you're... you.

SHADOW: Enough about my love life. What about Annabeth and Drew's?

OWL and MIRROR, simultaneously: No.

SEASTAR: Perhaps we should not discuss this, dear cousin of mine.

[SHADOW rolls her eyes. GEMSTONE pats her on the back.]

SKELETON: I'm going to the bathroom.

[SKELETON leaves.]

OWL: He's not coming back, is he?

MIRROR: No, of course not. I would leave, too, but you need someone with a head on their shoulders.

PANCRIER: What about me?

MIRROR: You also have a head on your shoulders. But I cannot confine you to this duty alone, hon.

PANCRIER: Sure.

[PANCRIER would like to note that he is the only sane person here.]

MECH: Anyway, back on topic, Festus tells me that he has seen Rachel, but only when I have to leave him behind. Can't believe you guys have manipulated him.

PANCRIER: We haven't. Besides, I think Rachel has powers of prophecy.

OWL: The only power people have is time travel, from experience.

PANCRIER: Yeah but consider. Also, I have my codename for a reason?

OWL: Yeah, it's because you have an extraordinary loud scream.

PANCRIER: Extraordinary is close enough to magic, isn't it?

OWL: Also, prophecy could be explained by the actual time travel.

PANCRIER: What if she's a clone? And she's cloned herself a million times? And that's why she's everywhere?

SEASTAR: Or she could have a way to track us and use it for mischief.

SHADOW: Thus supporting Hazel's and my goddess theory.

MIRROR: Yeah, I buy that.

[OWL jots that down on her table.]

MIRROR: But we should also ask everyone else. Because there's like forty of us.

OWL: Thirty-nine, actually.

MIRROR: I said 'like forty', not actually forty.

OWL: Semantics.

MECH: I still think you guys are pulling a Goncharov.

SEASTAR: Goncharov? I haven't heard of that before.

MECH: A relic of the 2020s, during the COVID-19 pandemic, you know? This blogging site that went kind of archaic - still active though, like a cockroach - found some fake movie label called Goncharov, produced by this Martin guy. Anyway, they went kind of insane.

PANCRIER: Ooh, I did an essay in high school about it.

SEASTAR: Why?

PANCRIER: You know, early internet stuff. Very interesting.

OWL: Eh, I'm more of a mid-late internet person, before the complete purge of the internet in- you know what? This isn't relevant.

[OWL is getting a little frustrated. Honestly, I don't know how she always sticks to a schedule. Also, OWL notably does not like Rachel Elizabeth Dare.]

SHADOW: We should give Rachel a codename.

GEMSTONE: Seconded.

SEASTAR: Thirded.

MECH: Fourthed.

PANCRIER: That's not a word.

MECH: Neither is pancrier, cry me a river.

SEASTAR: I, for one, propose the codename RED.

MIRROR: That's the stupidest code name I've ever heard.

SEASTAR: Have a better idea?

[MIRROR remains silent.]

GEMSTONE: What about Bianca's True Love? We can call her BTL for short.

SHADOW: First off, I object that nickname. Second off, BTL sounds way too close to BLT.

GEMSTONE: Which is your favourite sandwich.

SHADOW: And?

MIRROR: Actually, I have an idea. ORACLE, for her proposed prophecy powers. And because it sounds cool.

SEASTAR: Wouldn't that be an issue due to the Oracle not being allowed to date?

SHADOW: It will not, because no one's dating the Oracle.

MIRROR: Did that just come up in conversation? You're my best friend, Bianca, and I can't believe that you don't realize she's flirting with you.

SHADOW: She's not flirting with me. I asked, like a normal person.

GEMSTONE: Why did you ask?

OWL: Guys, we can't keep talking about SHADOW's admittedly disastrous love life. Personally, I like ORACLE.

MIRROR: Because it's a good codename.

SEASTAR: All who like ORACLE, say aye?

MIRROR, OWL, GEMSTONE, SHADOW, and PANCRIER: Aye.

SEASTAR: All who dislike ORACLE, say nay?

SEASTAR and MECH: Nay.

MIRROR: See, this is why you benefit from my genius. Ow!

[SEASTAR has kicked MIRROR's leg under the table. All laugh, except MIRROR.]

OWL, regaining her composure: Meeting adjourned. I am exhausted, and will have a cup of tea.

End transcript.

[lets-try-some-writing]

I evedently forgot how to draw using the pad, so have this terrible sketch instead for now.

anyway lore:

I imagine the blood mold would have five growth stages.

dormant spore. Its just a small dark red growth, looking vaguley like a seastar with too many arms. its very unoticeble in this stage and only syphons a minimal amount of energy from its host.

young mould. It progresses to this stage if its either attached to a optimal host species or a dormant spore attached to a suboptimal host species detects its host being invaded by another parasite. It gains basic sentience during this stage and acts agressivley towards any potential treats.

adolecent growth. As it grows it splits into many interconected pieces, each having its own set of eyes and operating on a kind of hivemind if disconected from the original pice. at this stage it tends to focus on the habits and behaviors of its host species, adapting as well as it can to its host body structure and abilitys, integrading as smoothly as possible. If attached to a more inteligend species, it tends to get sassy at this point, it also starts picking up on its hosts emotions, wich can overwhelm it at times.

adult colonie. A large growth fully encompassing the space provided by the host species, this is generally as big as it can get if attached to a suboptimal host. It has now fully adapted to its hosts body and can make the best use of it when it comes to defending itself. it syphons as much energy from its host as it is able to do without causing harm, as well as begining to use photo- and chemosynthesis to produce and store extra energie wherever it can, both to sustain itself and its host if nesessary. it mellows out quite abit at this stage, leaving more of the general movement and activities up to its host, as well as exhibiting some of their personallity trates.

Mother colonie. A large colonie grown beond what its host can support. At this point the blood mold gives up its own live in favor of turning into a ticking time bomb, any energie stored is used to produce as many spores as possible before the mother colonie bursts, hurteling its contents into the atmosphere. if sutible hosts are nearby small pieces of the mother colonie may latch onto them and persist. it can not reach this stage if attached to a suboptimal host species.

I imagine it originating from a mostly organic planet and having adapted to infect cybernetic species later on, leaving cybertronians like ratchet as the aformentioned suboptimal host species.

It would adapt to the cybertronian ability to transform by ceperating the outer armor from the internals, leaving the mold as the only conection point, and creating a cell type that can harden on command. this would not inhibit the cybertronians ability to transform, but would allow the blood mold to open up the armor and expand in size along the transformation seams, protecting any newly exposes inner circutry with a thick layer of hardened gel, while streching out the limps and creating more spaces to observe and lash out from. its very sturdy like this and can use its stored energy to rapidly regrow lost tissue.

I think it would most likley remain compliant with optimus up until it reaches the adult colonie stage, at wich point it would pick up on ratchets personallity and become defiant. it now packs enough of a punch to hold its own against optimus and bumblebee, provided it has stored enough energie to shrug off any damage dealt to it.

Though i could also see it get hit with ratchets fear and worrie during the adolecent growth stage and decide that optimus is too much of a threat to remain around, instead taking its chances at fighting the smaller bumblebee after making a run for it.

i could also see it forefitting its control over ratchet entirely, in favor of hiding so its host could be accepted by a more protective force such as megatron and his army. this has great angst potential when sooner or later somebody finds out.

i also love the way you made it speak. it would absolutley only comunicate in broken statements and incomplete scentences. also alot of hissing in displeasure. it would be completley apathetic to anything that doesnt concern its host or the rival parasite species. but it would absolutley try to compfort ratchet once it can sense his emotions, stress isn´t good for its host after all.

thats all i got for now, enjoy! :3

This is FABULOUS lore. I will apply this in your request friend :)

I love the idea of the blood mold as a whole. I have a thousand and one ways this could be incorporated into the Pretender au. Such a fun concept, especially when pitted against its arguably more successful counterparts.

I WISH TO PROVIDE YOU CONTEXT WITH SPIRITRUNE WILL YOU LET ME?

Okay SO Spiritrune is basically a Deltarune AU (if you know what Deltarune is it's self explanatory but if not *inhale*-

Deltarune is an indie video game made my Toby Fox with art by Temmie Chang and Toby is also responsible for the hit game Undertale with Deltarune being it's own continuity yet related to Undertale via sharing characters and holding similar lore to souls. To summarize the current plot so far there's a legend of the Deltarune where three heroes work together to banish the angel's heaven, aka dark fountains, to prevent the RUMBLING from occurring (Armageddon basically). So far there's only two chapters. Each chapter is based on where the dark fountain showed up, the first being an old classroom filled with games, toys, and dust and the second being inside the computer room of a library. There's expected to be seven chapters total and so far chapters 3 and 4 are planned to come out at the same time, the ending of chapter two signifying that the next dark world will take place in the living room of our character's mom's house.)

*ahem* Anyway back to Spiritrune. The general spur of the moment idea is that I took a bunch of Artfight characters and made them all enter two seperate dark worlds based on the current Artfight teams at the time, that being Seafoam and Stardust. Both sides have to deal with their own Antagonists who seem to represent the ever changing lives they all hold in their own ways, while at the same time trying to prevent everyone from sealing up the conjoined fountains.

Long story short, the rumbling ends up going down near the ending and everyone works together to vanquish the fusion of the two gods known as Seastar, unifying their souls into a Mobian determination soul (I'm using my own soul canon too stay with me here) (this is also impossible normally) and with their combined power, fight Seastar, seperate them, and seal all of the fountains at once, returning everything to normal.

The story takes place over the time of at least 7 chapters with each segment showing different obstacles and mini Antagonists along the way, along with many feuds between both teams. I've also been going over the mechanics on my own for everyone as well and just...

Please play deltarune. It's free, you can get it on its own official website. There might be cursing but it's pretty tame otherwise. I think you'd enjoy it.

Oooooo, okay! Interesting! Very interesting! Thanks for the context! (Wait, so does that mean Undertale is an indie game too? Huh! I didn't know that.)

You know what, I might consider checking Deltarune out if you think I'd like it! Do you by any chance know how much space it takes up? My computer is NOT made for gaming. XD

I’m so tired of people claiming that Targaryens would hate Daenerys. I mean, obviously, Maegor, Jaehaerys I, Aemond, Aegon II, Baelor I would despise her, and I don’t think Daeron II would see her as an important person (he would probably sell her off into marriage if it was up to him as well). But her ancestors show up in her dreams to cheer on her and her eldest brother told her the long held dream of their dynasty, transcending space and time.

Maester Aemon wanted to break his vows for her and weeped because he couldn’t reach her. Even Viserys III loved her and tried to protect her before he lost himself to his madness. Not to mention the repeated parallels the text explicitly makes between her and Aegon the Conqueror.

And they’re telling us that Rhaenys and Alysanne, two queens known for loving the smallfolk, women and children, wouldn’t like her ? Alysanne who lost her own Daenerys ? Or the dragon twins, Rhaena so sweet and romantic, and Baela who is fearless and scrappy ? Bold and audacious Targaryen women like Visenya, Alyssa, Rhaenys the queen who never was, Daena the Defiant, and Elaena ? Targaryen women accused of practicing witchcraft and bathing in blood, like Rhaena the Black Bride and Shiera Seastar ? Rhaena the BB, Rhaenys, and Rhaenyra should have ascend the Iron Throne but were usurped but they wouldn’t see Daenerys as their revenge ?

Aegon V wanted to bring dragons back to force the high lords to accept his radical reforms for the smallfolk. Why wouldn’t he like the girl who brings them back and terrorizes slavers with them ?

Aegon III spent his days visiting the sick and sat with them for hours, holding their hands in his own, soothing their brows with damp cloths, wanted to give the smallfolk “peace and food and justice” and claimed that “full bellies and dancing bears shall be [his] policy”. But he would hate Daenerys ? Seriously ?

Anyway maybe this is a long ramble, but House Targaryen isn’t a monolith. Each era is different, each person is different. I think Targ antis need to read ASOIAF and Fire & Blood, not just watch HOTD before making these claims.

I don't think most Targs would "hate" Daenerys, but many could be puzzled by how she is a lot more selfless or family-focused than not, like Visenya. Those men you mention, absolutely, but that just hammers in how none of them are really worth my respect. Jaehaerys, for ruling through choosing good council people and "listening" to Alysanne, sure, but eh 🤷🏿‍♂️. Rhaenyra might not have liked her but neither do i think she'd necessarily despise her. You make great points.

The house isn't a monolith as much as the flip a coin quote and how far the fandom//D&D ran with it to "explain" the Targs and Aerys II. It's not just HotD, it's has been a thing ever since people watched that episodes with Viserys' abuse (without the context of his losses and exile and possible selling himself), how exactly Aerys fell out with Rhaegar, Tyrion citing that Targ kign who said that quote, etc. And since the Targs were leaders in the feudal system, some fans are just never going to like them and fantasize about Westeros becoming democratic under Daenerys' rule or at least just get smashed into a "reset". Or they use Targ-madness to denigrate and diminish any sort of faith in Dany's rationality and compassion/leadership.

Aw thank you so much!! I'm loving hearing them! x3

Ooh if you love Ser Raylon, I can only suggest the fic Kiss a man (or slit his throat) by herofumi on ao3!

It's an amazing Davos/Aeron fic with a wonderful Ser Raylon, and Amos as a good uncle, as well as exploring Willem, Black Aly, & Benjicot! :D

But yeah you know they Blackwoods would have taken any opportunity to mock Raylon's hair and call him a bastard, maybe even a Blackwood one at that, poor boy.. I do wonder who'd be getting more of the insutls between Amos & Raylon, if they aren't being held prisoner in the same room then Raylon might catch more from any teenage Blackwoods around, though Amos would get more than his own share I'm sure, the proud & strong Bracken lord brought to heel/broken like a horse...

Right?! And I love how he looks back to his men & son for agreement before he says "we choose fire" they were all willing to die, he didn't just make that decision for them! I really do adore how the show writes the Bracken's!

Aw I can see it being bittersweet too, especially with any hinted Willem/Amos in mind.. 

Heh sadly I don't think any Bracken can escape it, the forbidden romance is just too good! XD

I know I'm here shipping Bloodraven/Bittersteel too >w>

Thank you again! Ooh and if you have any pairing ideas for Willem/Amos or Samwell/Amos, I'd love to hear them! <3

I love that fic soooo much

Frankly fucking wouldn’t have made Bloodraven and Bittersteel calm down, but I think they should try it anyway said shiera seastar

When the break up that bad you choose to burn to death than take part in a group project

I quite like how the show gives us Brackens bc GRRM fucking hates them 🤣🤣 he does Brackens so dirty All of the time

Best Targ Women ! Needed to make my ranking for some reason.

1) Daenerys Targaryen (best girl ever may she live and prosper). She's every goddess ever.

2) Rhaena Targaryen (black bride) : iconic reserved lesbian who goes out of her mind sometimes in really impressive ways. Compares herself to the woman who ruined her life. Has tons of girlfriends (goals). Dies probably sad, almost alone. Hates most of her family anyways.

3) Rhaenyra Targaryen : So perfect in her imperfections. Loving mother, unquestionable heir to the Iron Throne, privileges gone to her head, political disaster in many aspects. Hate her, love her, she can't really leave you indifferent.

4) Aerea Targaryen : first female Targ heir, absolute teenage chaos on two foot intent on making the world a hell for those she disliked. Is living under the name of her twin sister (who lives under hers), which identity wise must be real weird for a kid. Horrifying death that will give you nightmares.

5) Elaena Targaryen : I need to know everything about her life it's criminal we don't. But she was the boss & controlled the economy. She was hot at 70.

6) Daena Targaryen : I need to know everything about her life like seriously (2). Rebellion ! Her brazen legacy haunted house Targaryen forever. Still does.

7) Alysanne Targaryen : She's not perfect, but she did a hell of a lot for Westeros and women, and stood by her principles (equality for women in matters of inheritance and education).

8) Naerys Targaryen : She just has something special. A magnificent aura of doom & religion.

9) Visenya Targaryen : love hate relationship with Visenya. She's so interesting but also she wrecked the life of my best girl Rhaena & raised her son to be a psycho tyrant misogynist (which is a great part of why she's interesting cause like WTF girl).

10) Rhaena of Pentos : cute cute cute girl. Has a pink dragon she probably named either by watching the sun rises or to make a clever metaphor (it is a clever metaphor !). Has a sense of duty. Is the opposite of her brazen twin Baela. Last dragonrider till Daenerys.

Plus, Targaryen women with potential (but not much action/info on them) :

- Aelora Targaryen whose story just begs to be told in full. Cause like, accidentelly killing your brother ? Being heir to the Iron throne afterwards anyway ? Damn.

- Jaehaera Targaryen, as the neurodivergent and ironically female heir of the famously misogynistic faction of the Dance of Dragons. Like come on.

- Baela Targaryen : Okay we do know about her and her character I just couldn't fit her in the top ; I'm mainly interested in the hypothetical/headcanon dilemna she could have had in the Velaryon succession matter. Mainly between being legally the heir to Driftmark & by it possibly independant (which suits her character), and her betrothal & fondness towards Jace (and future as queen consort). Along that of course, thoughts over women's rights & bastards' place.

- Rhaella Targaryen (sister to Aerea) cause like inside on the faith + similar identity crisis worthy situation. Like technically the legitimate heir to the throne during Jaehaerys' reign.

- Daenys the Dreamer : like OF COURSE. I have headcanons. Of course I want to know more about her prophecies & her character. Or make it all up if I can't have it.

- Shiera Seastar ; I mean we don't actually know that much about the lady. She was witchy and liked by Bloodraven. Then what ? Then what. She was maybe the Westerosi Elizabeth Báthory. Then what.

- Daenerys of Dorne : really want to know what her time in Dorne was like. After all, her marriage was of historical proportions and she's implied to have had some good notions in ruling. Also how did she feel about the Blackfyre rebellion ?

- Helaena Targaryen : I do like making up headcanon about her lately. Gentle, spineless, lonely, crazy, crazed for life but kept inside a cage. Betrayed her sister, under difficult circumstances. But where they ever sisters in any real sense ?
