Ryuunosuke walking off the S.S Burya rattles around in my brain constantly. Because isnt it terrible? That the one who survived didn’t deserve to? He didnt deserve to live because he had no quest, he was no beacon of justice, he had no sword to draw. I adore it. The archetype of living in a story that is not yours is so good. I love characters existing when they shouldnt. He does so good over the course of the story, but that initial awful fact of his survival is so painfully exciting for me.
Ryuunosuke’s growth into a confident, charismatic, and vicious lawyer, touches me deeply in ways I wish I were better at expressing.

ITS ME AGAIN!!! So Keegan and My OC lol
So my OCs name is Isaac and he’s one of those interchangeable OCs I have where he has a “base model” that I can just transplant into any fandom/IP so of course once I watched a CoD Ghosts playthru and fell in love with Keegan my first thought was “Sublime…he needs a boyfriend I can smash together with like action figures”
I don’t even really have a 100% “canon” way they met or get together cuz it’s just fun coming up with different scenarios of them interacting
(Okay rambling over)
HI AGAIN!!
okay but base model OC is the perfect way to explain how i read xreader fanfiction. i dont really envision myself just an oc who represents me.
"he needs a boyfriend I can smash together like action figures" LMAOOOOOO realest thing ever. i stg thats me when im deciding my loverboy of the month.
okay but yesss. not even having the details down and just scenarios is me too. its fun to just kinda daydream

⌜❝ 𝙸𝙸. 𝚂𝙴𝚁𝙿𝙴𝙽𝚂.
there is a story, a legend, even, of a scorned child who grew into an angry, vengeful adult. the story says that the child was unloved by their parents, that the village turned a blind eye to the abuse. that the child, upon becoming an adult, was murdered by an angry man for a reason lost to time. and the story goes that in the delicate gray space between death and life, the adult was offered an ultimatum by a god - die, or become powerful.
the adult chose power. and from the grave came a serpent hundreds of feet long, pale white and blood-red. a head like an viper, claws like swords, and wings that swept long and narrow like a falcon's. that venom dripped from long fangs and fire boiled deep in its throat. in the serpent's fury, it burned the village and everyone in it to the ground. and in the mountains that once surrounded the quiet place, it made a home.
for hundreds of years there are stories and frightening tales of a dangerous dragon hiding in the mountains. often, people say, it sleeps, but sometimes it wakes and flies from its lair to lay waste to anything it can. not a single knight has successfully sought and killed it.
there are rumors, that perhaps for the very few people the dragon favors, it changes - shrinks down into a beautiful person who could pass among anyone who walks. there are signs, argue other people, sharp teeth and serpent eyes that would never belong on a normal human.
but these are all just rumors, of course. monsters aren't beautiful.
more info about the verse below the cut:
you've heard it a dozen times from me but, at their core, io is very corruptible. and venadeus is a corrupting force. the circumstances of their death in this verse, plus the promises venadeus made to them when they were trying to decide whether to be resurrected or not, has made this, by far, the worst version of io that I currently write. morally corrupt, one might say.
why? because they thrive on creating fear. io sees the path to peace as forged in violence. if they're terrifying, if they're deadly, if they burn and raze an entire kingdom to the ground and lounge in the ashes, then who really wants to fuck with them?
on top of that, io always thrives in destruction. it feels good to them. they're bitter, they're aggressive, and people matter so little to them that they don't find burning things to the ground a waste. no matter who occupies those places.
and, frankly, venadeus turned them into a living, breathing war machine and then let them loose on a world that scorned them. a god of violence is sure to pass it on to his children in every way he possibly can.
io in this verse also has complete control over how human or how draconic they want to look. it's fine-tuned and fluid. but there are three 'main' forms they favor:
that of a person. the only things that may give them away is the central orange hue in an otherwise gray gaze, and the pale scales that dot their body, often hidden beneath clothes. sharp canines are present, but they are certainly blunter than what appears in their intermediate form. while this a perfect form for mingling among humanity, io finds it incredibly uncomfortable and restrictive.
that of a dragon. several hundred feet in length. sinuous and lithe. they have four limbs, two falcon-like wings, and the head and neck of a horned viper. mostly pale white and gray in color, but the undersides of their wings are blood-red. a comfortable form. they default to this one quite often.
and finally, a form somewhere in the middle. human, vastly... kind of. more scales cover parts of their body, interlocking patterns on their arms, legs, hip and collarbones. the horns present in their full dragon form are also present here, sweeping out from under their hair. their wings are also present, hanging heavy from their back. canines are longer and sharper. the lurid central orange in their eyes is brighter and more obvious. this is a comfortable form. and one they show more often to people they trust and like.
