VENATRIX || Katekyo Hitman Reborn OC

and  i  shall  be  the  wolf who  dines  upon  wolves, the  sheep  upon  sheep, the  man  upon  men  — i  will  be  invader,  rebel,  cannibal, traitor,  murderer  and  thief; i  will  be  rotten  flesh  and  tainted  blood, and  all  things  in  between. i  will  ruin  what  i  cannot  have, i  will  bite  the  hand  that  feeds, and  i  shall  suffer  none  so  much as  they  shall  suffer  me. —  out of spite  //  m.a.w @dvoyd

Careertober Day 17: The Hunt - featuring Venatrix as a wolf. Oftentimes in her first few months post-Victory, Venatrix dreams of herself as a wolf, hunting and killing (sometimes those she loves). Side effect of the Fenrir mutt, I guess. And that good old narrative symbolism :D ...Yeah. This was p much my excuse to draw her as a furry, its kind of wild that I haven't done that yet. But! It does fit with the prompt c:

Full sketchbook page under the cut since i thought it looked neat with yesterday’s !

So anyway I played through Shield as Sharna and here’s a bunch of screenshots from different points in the game. She’s so adorable I can’t deal. 

But also @ Game Freak: why did y’all remove the long & wavy hair option? I just wanna talk.

Two truths and a lie

I was tagged by @nailamoonsi for this one ! Ty for the tag <3

Tagging: @rivalhughs @lasthaysileeshipper @theglitchywriterboi @justafunctionalmess @illegalcryptid @ladyqueerfoot @limeandgreenfrog

Rules: Create a 24 hour poll with two truths and one lie about an OC.

Never done a poll before so we'll see how this goes. I'm doing Venatrix, obviously c: (You can read her now-completed story here: True Vengeance)

I guess after the time is up I'll reblog this with the correct answer! Good luck c:

Heads Up Seven Up

Thanks for the tag @justafunctionalmess !! Ig I'll use this to share some lines from cicatrix, the epilogue fic to True Vengeance (that has not been posted yet) so. Sneak peek i guess?

They slip through the doors unnoticed, and she’s thankful for it.  Heads turn as the two Victors stride through the halls, but Dagmara doesn’t let them stop until they reach their destination—her new office. It’s on the opposite corridor as the majority of the others, right next to Eridan’s. As far as Venatrix knows, the other Victor hasn’t returned yet either.  He pokes his head out of the door, all faded red and dark roots. “Hey, Venatrix!”  Shows you what she knows.

One guess where they are... Also yes I did change tenses for this one ! I don't know. We'll see how that goes ! It's been okay so far, I've got a decent amount of words down, though after writing 300k words for Ven in past tense, it's been a little funky. Interesting because I didn't have that issue with the other fics I've done in present tense.. Ven is just special I guess c:

Heads Up 7 Up

I was tagged by @justafunctionalmess like Ages ago oups but i did not forget !! I forget if its 7 lines or 7 sentences and this probably neither but! too bad c:

Her mother stands over her, arms stiff, expression blank. “You are overexerting yourself.” “I’m doing what the doctors told me. So I can get better.” Venatrix doesn’t like the way her mother’s silence feels.  She sits up, hugging her knees. “I just want to get better,” she says quietly. “I’m behind as is, I don’t know how to—how to keep up.”

OC Questions tag !

Thanks for the tag @tisiphonewolfe ! :D

Tagging: @rivalhughs @illegalcryptid @conschintz @wordspin-shares @daisywords @lovebirdlovesstuff

(Clears throat) I wonder. Which oc i am going to do this for. (Vibrating) everyone say hi to Venatrix Pyke (:

5 words to physically describe your OC (do you have a drawing? even better!)

Confident. Imposing. Present. Proud. Strong. (Ignore the fact that she’s certainly not feeling like any of these in her story rn…)

I most certainly Do have art though ! :D drawn by yours truly c:

Who inspired your OC? (can be your mum to a very famous fungi)

Oouh fun question .. so. I was trying to come up with a bunch of characters for my Hunger Games universe, right? (Post canon, none of the canon chars are around, theyre all dead by now sorry). Mostly Victors, and I was like “Man, I need some Career victors, huh?” So I glanced over at District 2 and I was like, “Hm it would be cool if two of them were like a married couple. That would be fun.” And then I went, “oh god what if they had a kid. Good lord that would probably be the most fucked up kid……..” and then Venatrix was born things um. Spiraled. (I gave her a baby sister, killed said baby sister in the games, and then had her volunteer the year afterwards. Haha. Its….. going)

Give me a song to define your OC (I will listen to it to enter in your WIP mood!)

Oh man uh. Well i do have a. Playlist. But for the sake of the question…. I will pick. One Song.

And it’s actually an easy choice, it’s Broken Bones by CHVRCHES because catch them and kill them your only hope is evil i will not die i will keep quiet i will hold you high above youre on your own wait til dawn and then go. If you even care.

If I met your OC on the street how would they greet me?

Hm are we assuming she Knows you? If not, she’d be like who are you why are you speaking to me. Am i supposed to pretend to be nice to you, is this a photo op or something. Hello. I guess.

If we are assuming that you are a friend or family member that she does know and love. She’d yell out your name and tell you to get your ass over there so she can say hello and lightly bully you xjxkdkd.

Can your OC be your best friend? Why?

Yeah, she’s currently down one best friend so theres an opening (: (I murdered him) (on second thought maybe it wouldnt work out….)

Okay fr though.. hm assuming I am someone living in Ven’s world who’s also not competing against her for anything… idk I’d prolly be a little intimidated by her ckxkdk. She’s always had a Reputation and I would not like to get in her way, I know her too well for that lmao. If she rly wanted to be my friend though, who would I be to say no?

1 adjective and 1 noun to describe your OC

The Howling Sword. (:

[darthnell]

for the ask game!

🔪, 🍄, 🏜️! :D

Ty for the ask friend !! :D

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

Well my favorite ship pairings are my OCs so everything I say about them /is/ canon so… c: For Maritrix (Venatrix and Mariposa)… since True Vengeance was told from Ven’s pov, I’ll talk a lil bit about Mari’s: her initial interest in Ven was definitely strategy-based, given the nature of the Games. It was probably fairly obvious to the Games-savvy public that Ven would be volunteering in her final year, so she was on the table of potential sub-alliances in the Career pack for Mari for a while. But Mari probably expected her to be arrogant and entitled in the same way that Viper was. And while Ven definitely does have her moments of arrogance and entitlement, I think what surprised Mari the most was that she was genuine. A genuine fighter, genuinely grieving, and for the most part honest/blunt. I could definitely say much more about this but i just have been thinking about them a lot lately (when am i ever not lol) and it sucks that in this story they had to be in the arena together and not like. Living together gayly in a cabin in the woods with charcoal where percy visits them every now and then ;-; ah well. In an au where both gals survive, mari and iago wreak havoc on the internet using ven’s jabber account JFJDKDKD. ((Ok actual headcanon: mari and iago would be besties full stop, it would drive ven up the walls KDKDKDK))

Might as well share some stuff for Oberon and Dagmara too (Ven’s parents for those unawares) bc I have a lot of unposted/unwritten lore for them and I like them too c: so they started off as mentor and mentee since Oberon is 5 years older than Dag and he was assigned to mentor her for the games. Which she was pissed about because ofc she gets the rookie guy instead of the seasoned mentor who brought home more than a few victors. It’s kinda rough; Oberon does his best but he’s also currently having toxic girlfriend issues (tell me he doesn’t look like he had a toxic gf in the past jdjdjd). Anyways, after Dag wins, she and Oberon become closer as friends; Dag is also dealing w the loss of her best friend/cousin/district partner which is Rough for her ;-; she and Oberon are v much friends to lovers vibe, and I think the experience of being victors and having to deal w the shit the Capitol throws at them is probably something that like trauma bonds them 💀 they both go thru a lot but it helps that they have each other, like they both Get it. But yeah, before they started dating, Oberon was lowkey a hoe and Dag Wasn’t* but the relationships/situationships she tried to have w other people were just. Not it LOL. also Highkey. ADHD bf +autism gf.. beloved bihets <3

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

Did a lot of research about turkey hunting for that one True Vengeance chapter. Also about reconstructed Viking ships. For my 163rd games fic I spent some time researching the aerodynamics of those flying/gliding suits. For my 171st games fic i um. I googled what happens when you eat lava. For my 173rd games fic i googled. What does crucifixion feel like. Finger guns :D I also spent some time doing research on types of prosthetics for TrV..! Turned out so well… 💀

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

Well. Naturally I do love when ppl write me essays about their thoughts on my writing ;-; I don’t expect everyone to do that though LOL. Honestly just like when ppl are willing to share how my writing made them feel, it’s really neat ;-; There was also this one comment I got a while back that was a form of concrit but it was so interesting to me and I think about it a lot.. mainly bc it made me think of like an argument as to why the plot couldn’t be what the commenter was expecting (but maybe that’s bc I just love talking about my stuff LOL)

Writer’s truth or dare ask game !

[darthnell]

ME TOO im losing my mind about it a little bit (a lot)..

District 2 is such a Place for real… it compels me

Iago loves her ;-; does Not give a shit about the murder! Jdjdsjs

This would’ve always been hard on poor Agate ;-;

Iago was terrified for real ;-; hes not the type to show it like ever but. Ven can tell..

Ven will spend the next many years imagining how she can insert percy and mari into her life at home ;-;

New phone yeah ! :D ALMOST THE SAME LEVEL OF VIOLENCE LMFAO…

Yeah.. percys moms probably have Not cleared out his bedroom.. maybe academy room but.

Ha ha ha… yeah Iago has not forgiven Oberon. Honestly idk if that mf has forgiven Percy for almost killing him at the tournament.. not that he would Say that out loud. Many fun dynamics to explore (: surely this wont be a problem later…!

Venatrix casually dunking her prosthetic into the Trash~

Haha yeah! Thats why she has the charisma of a rock NDSKJSKS.. i also love names so much theyre so fun <3

Ven needs some therapy for real :c

Who me? Wolf references? Neeeeverrrr… awooo… but yeah that was such a fun plot point that made me evil laugh.. (pokes oberon) oh so you are breaking the rules and doing everything in your power to give your daughter an advantage? No sponsor gift for you. Evil man. >:D

Insert that one tweet thats like “moment of silence for everyone whos just like their dad but a girl”

Shout out to continuing the cycle of violence!!! Shout out to victors and especially career victors enforcing the cycle of violence that they were victims of!!! Haha i love it here !

LMAO yeah i mentioned them getting ice cream way pack in part I but i never gave the place a name so i was like. Well i have to make it funny now. But yeah d2 having a specific ice cream flavor for winning the death pageant is SO on brand ckxkdk

The good thing about being really popular and having a reputation of being kind of insane is u can just say shit like that and theyll love you

Yeah friends!!! Now Agate can memorialize all of her dead friends in marble!!! Yay!

Thats a good guess… youll find out officially in like a week but. Rest assured the last scene/chapter makes me Unwell ♥️

Thank you friend ♥️♥️♥️ it’s been so nice to have you along for the ride these past few chapters!! I’m absolutely emo about finishing this thing up and I’m so not ready for it to end.. but it must ;-; such is the way of things… thank you again for the comments and support it’s been really nice to hear from you !! 🫶

Chapter 69: Where I End and Begin

The Victor returns home. It's not how she left it, but then again, neither is she.

LN dropped a vampire-inspired event not long ago and then a new suit for Valentine’s so I made Vampire Queen Sharna. (click through for better quality since tumblr kills it)

Last Paragraph Tag Game

I was tagged by @wordspin-shares (thank u !)

Make a new post and share the last paragraph you wrote.

Here’s last paragraph of what I’m currently working on (True Vengeance ch 52; i swear its almost done 😭). Little bit more than just the last paragraph but dialogue needs a little more context c:

“Venatrix, can you not?”

“Sorry,” she gritted out, still refusing to look at her friend. She could feel his eyes on her, though, and her shoulders deflated under the weight. “Didn’t mean to snap at you, I’m just…”

“Save it for them,” Percy said under his breath; he jerked his chin towards the approaching redheads.

NFNE Masterlist

Hi, Nell here ! I figured I should compile a masterlist for my Hunger Games AU series New Friends, New Enemies, since that seems to be what y’all do over here… and also it looks kind of fun ! I have a similar organization list on both my FFN profile (darthnell) and under the series description on AO3 (link). I will ideally be adding onto this as the series progresses; additionally, I’d love to do character profile pages, so I might link them here when I do. Some of these stories have weebly blogs too !

The majority of this series takes place in an AU where the Mockingjay Rebellion failed (for reasons that may be explored in the future), with the exception of TRC, which is my take on the first Games (and is not at all compliant with BOSAS). A very minimal amount of canon characters appear in the series; it’s very much OC centric, and very worldbuilding-heavy (especially True Vengeance). It will stay this way because that’s what I enjoy writing c:
