all i have to say is shower sex with togame involves him kissing every inch of you as he washes your body (including your legs and feet) and if you ask him if it tastes bad from the body wash with a little giggle, he says “i don’t mind :)” as he sucks on your nipple and looks up at you with stars in his eyes

Okay so here's the thing.

As of now, I have no future plans for new fics. My sole intention is to finish Señorita, as there are 2 chapters left in the story. As such, I have deleted my Din series EROS because I have been completely stuck and have lost interest in it as well, if I'm being honest. And then... I don't know if I want to be an active writer anymore.

I've kind of fell out of the fandom for the past half year and as a result I've struggled with updates and writing altogether, and I found out that I actually enjoy being away. Plus, with the decline in fic engagement (at least for myself and a couple of other mega talented mutuals of mine), it's gotten increasingly difficult to put myself through hours of constructing work & editing it only for it to be read by myself and 4 other people. It has gotten extremely tiring instead of joyous and besides, there are dozens of incredibly talented writers to keep the flame alive, some of them my beloved mutuals too! You'll be in fantastic hands should I discontinue my writing, don't worry.

So yeah, we got 2 more chapters of the Javi story and then who knows. My blog will always be here, no worries, and I will be here, but whether I post any original work or not is still up for debate - currently leaning towards no.

A new look is upcoming on... everywhere!

Eyooo! Just finally finished making my new banner after dwelling on it for months, I'm just putting the final touched on other stuff before I release it here! It will be a drastic change as some of the designs that I've used for a while has been baked in but it will be an eventual finish! Here's a sneak peek but blurred. -w-

For the KC Questions!

Ariande: 12, 15, 25, 30

Elias: 2, 5, 7, 10

Thank you! For this ask game. I'm going to throw these behind a cut because it got long. Also for spoilers.

Ariadne

12. What is their alignment, and why? How do they feel about it? Do they change alignment at one point?

To preface, I personally don't like the alignment system and don't put much stock in it. It's impossible for a realistic character to act "in alignment" 100% of the time, because real people don't fit into boxes like that. Anyways, I play with alignment indicators turned off and just go based on vibes, so my answer is probably going to be a bit stilted and wonky.

Ariadne's alignment is Chaotic Good, because they are very independent (and enjoy that freedom) and do care about other people, no matter what their fondness for pranks might suggest. As for how they feel about it...good, I guess? Ariadne doesn't think they're perfect by any stretch of the imagination but their morals aren't something they think need to change.

I have changed Ari's alignment, but that's because during the Beta run where I tried to make them Chaotic Neutral I never picked any Evil options and they ended up shifting to Chaotic Good. So, Ari went from Chaotic Good (Beta Azata run) -> Chaotic Neutral shifted to Chaotic Good (Beta Trickster run) -> Chaotic Good (full release onwards.)

15. Which companion do they hate/really don't like?

"Hate" is a strong word, but she and Camellia never connected. Camellia deliberately held herself apart from Ariadne and the rest of their companions, and Ari's not the type to force a relationship where it's clearly not wanted. And then with the reveal of what Camellia was doing to her crusaders...they were never going to be friends, but it wouldn't have mattered if they were, that crossed so many lines both personally and professionally that there was only one possible outcome to that situation.

25. How did they welcome the physical change that came with their mythic powers? Did they embrace it/reject it?

Ariadne rejected their mythic powers wholeheartedly. They hate the Trickster mask and refuse to wear it; they've actually tried to throw it away several times and it keeps winding up back on their nightstand. They firmly believed it was Socothbenoth's doing, especially when it somehow found its way to them in the Abyss, but after they transformed Vellexia into a mirror it somehow wound up on their face. It came off again, thankfully, but that was the final sign Ariadne needed to know if they embraced their powers any further they were going to lose themselves entirely.

30. Did they chose to take the crossbow or the scroll to run away form Deskari right at the beginning?

She took the crossbow. In that moment Ariadne was 100% convinced they were boned, and if they were going down, they were going down swinging (er, shooting.)

Elias

2. How do they feel about Areelu Vorlesh?

Elias has stronger feelings on Areelu when he's Knight-Commander than he does when he's a companion, but they stem from the same place. To him, Areelu is a an immensely intelligent and talented witch who, no matter how sympathetic he found her, still made the world worse through her actions. He doesn't have the visceral, petty hatred Ariadne does towards her, but in some ways, his indifferent contempt is worse. Ariadne's pettiness led to her leaving Areelu alive; Elias feels her dying to close the Worldwound is the least she can do to make up for the harm she's done to Sarkoris, Mendev, and magic users everywhere.

5. Do they have a family? If so, what kind? Do they miss them? Do they still have hope to see them again?

Elias was raised in a traveling merchant caravan in Varisia, specifically by the caravan's healer Celestina. She was a changeling like him, and despite not being perfect, tried her hardest to be as much of a mother to him as she could be. He hopes to reunite with her one day, but considering she wasn't young when he was forced to leave and over a decade has passed, that might not happen.

7. Is your KC religious? If yes, which deity do they follow? If not, what is their view on religion?

Yes, though his situation is a bit unique. Elias worship Pulura of his own free will, but his witch patron is the psychopomp usher Narakaas and Elias does find himself gravitating towards the latter's dogma more than he intends to. It ends up being a weird amalgamation of beliefs that, while not necessarily complimentary, at least don't contradict each other.

10. What would be the meal that give them a little ability bonus?

Midnight Soup, and he'd probably be more than a little rueful that he and Daeran have the same favorite meal.
