Bonjour ;) so you mentioned in your analysis of Nico & Apollo’s relationship that there’s reason to believe Apollo and Artemis knew about Nico and Bianca being Hades’ children right from the start and… I was wondering if you’d be willing to elaborate 👀

"I was wondering if you'd be willing to elaborate" says the person who listens to me talk their ear off about this and various other theories in the toa discord all the time ahaha. Of course I'm willing to elaborate, I just gotta get my thoughts into some sort of conceivable order here because there is. A Lot. This is, as always with my theory essays, quite long.

So, I'm just gonna broadly title this the Twin Archers and the di Angelos, because that's as narrowed down as this is gonna get, and we will be having some side appearances from Thalia as well because she's not unrelated to this whole thing, either.

So, what is my theory? In a nutshell, it is that Apollo and Artemis know who Bianca and Nico's father is right from the start, but there's a lot of nuance to this. There's a few places I could start this, but I'll begin with the emergence of the di Angelos from the Lotus Casino (we'll go back in time a little later, because the 1930s will be relevant!).

But first, before we even get as far as the di Angelos on the scene at all, I want to talk about the Great Prophecy and Big Three Kids - specifically Big Three Daughters. I did briefly go over this in the Nico&Apollo post I made a while back, but this time I'll go more in depth. The great prophecy explicitly states a half-blood of the eldest gods, shall reach sixteen against all odds. Now, while this could literally mean about half the pantheon (Aphrodite is stated in HOO to be older than the Big Three, Hestia, Demeter and Hera are also the same generation as their brothers - and Demeter has demigod children), for presumably reasons only Apollo has any hope of understanding, this is known to be specifically referencing a Big Three Kid. This means Big Three Kids basically have a lovely prophecy about death hanging over their heads, and we know Apollo and Artemis don't like demigods dying (their domains are literally about protecting children, it goes against who they are to let kids die no matter what lies Apollo tried to get us to believe at the start of TOA).

Obviously, the Oath is in place to stop this happening, but firstly I don't think anyone believed the rather promiscuous Zeus or Poseidon was ever going to be able to keep that for eternity, even if Hades might, and secondly, it's a Great Prophecy. At some point, it's coming true, whether they like it or not, which means at some point there will be some more Big Three Kids around.

Quite frankly, the sons of the Big Three are straight out of luck. They're either going to die young, or they're going to turn sixteen and, according to the prophecy, die then. There's very little that Apollo or Artemis can do to help the sons (although Apollo clearly tries - see fsinger's own essay on how Apollo is responsible for demigod dreams, especially Percy's). Artemis even says this:

"Bianca, this is crazy," I said. "What about your brother? Nico can't be a Hunter." "Certainly not," Artemis agreed. "He will go to camp. Unfortunately, that's the best boys can do."

It's phrased as being derogatory (not helped by Percy taking it that way), but taking away the anti-boy bias and reading it as a statement of fact - the safest place for boys is Camp Half-Blood, while girls have the option of functional immortality, if they want to take it.

The daughters, however... that's another kettle of fish entirely. Daughters have an opt-out clause, and it's called joining the Hunters of Artemis. As we see with Thalia, this stops their aging process for the purposes of the prophecy, neatly keeping them alive and also skipping the prophecy.

Looking at it this way, suddenly the Hunt's attempts to recruit Thalia back before she reached CHB, despite her having the sorts of attachments that frankly make her unsuitable to be a Hunter (her close relationship with Luke) and would normally mean she was never on their radar, makes sense - if Thalia joins the Hunt, she escapes the prophecy (which she eventually does).

"The Hunters tried to recruit you," I guessed. Her eyes got dangerously bright. I thought she was going to zap me out of the Mercedes, but she just sighed. I almost joined them," she admitted. "Luke, Annabeth, and I ran into them once, and Zoe tried to convince me. She almost did, but…" "But?" Thalia's fingers gripped the wheel. "I would've had to leave Luke."

Note that Artemis specifically says about her Hunters being before they 'go astray' aka get boy-obsessed.

"I could appear as a grown woman, or a blazing fire, or anything else I want, but this is what I prefer. This is the average age of my Hunters, and all young maidens for whom I am patron, before they go astray." "Go astray?" I asked. "Grow up. Become smitten with boys. Become silly, preoccupied, insecure. Forget themselves."

This being Artemis' reasoning behind her recruitment drive of Thalia also explains why she's so happy to accept Thalia into the Hunt at the end of TTC, despite Thalia's reasoning being very clearly the selfish need to escape the prophecy. Yes, there's the Luke backdrop to it, too, but Thalia is not subtle about her reasoning, and this is the sort of self-centredness that ordinarily would not fly with Artemis, because Thalia is using the Hunt for her own gain.

"Father," she said. "I will not turn sixteen tomorrow. I will never turn sixteen. I won't let this prophecy be mine. I stand with my sister Artemis. Kronos will never tempt me again."

She explicitly says she refuses to be the child of prophecy and wants to stop aging, and yet Artemis still welcomes her in with open arms.

So, with one Big Three Daughter out of the way, let's talk about the other one. Bianca di Angelo, who is on Artemis' radar for at least a while before she introduces herself.

How do we know this? Firstly, the Hunters have been hanging around the general vicinity for a while - they make gentle advances towards Annabeth (I say gentle because Annabeth only had a pamphlet and clearly hadn't either been snapped up instantly or pressured so much she was turned off the idea like Thalia was) - and they are very quick to show up once Dr Thorn makes his move. Fast enough, actually, that there's some confusion from the characters about how they happened to be there in time (Grover ends up suggesting it was because they were trailing Annabeth, but that doesn't feel like a solid reason for them to be in the area when Annabeth clearly isn't a priority of theirs).

Secondly, there's this little exchange between Artemis and Nico:

Artemis considered the boy. "Perhaps you can show Grover how to play that card game you enjoy. I'm sure Grover would be happy to entertain you for a while… as a favor to me?"

If she's literally just met Nico, how does she know it's a card game? Yes, he's been gushing at her about it, but he never mentions cards (in fact, from the way he describes it with movement and stuff, it sounds more like a board game than anything else), yet Artemis knows exactly what it is. Mythomagic doesn't seem like the sort of thing that'd really be on her radar, though.

Other, less explicit hints include the implication that they haven't been attacked all year, but were attacked on the streets before that, "last summer".

Bianca di Angelo shivered. "That explains… Nico, you remember last summer, those guys who tried to attack us in the alley in DC?" "And that bus driver," Nico said. "The one with the ram's horns. I told you that was real."

Even Dr Thorn couldn't pick them out until the other demigods appeared and started showing interest in them, despite being powerful (and them also having a powerful scent), but before they were in the school, things were hunting them down pretty easily (although failing to do any actual damage, it seems). There's an implication there that they were being somehow shielded while at the school, and while Hades would be the obvious answer... if that was the case, why wasn't he shielding them on the streets?

(Remember that Artemis is the protector of young maidens and Apollo is the protector of the young.)

Even the fact that Artemis instructs the Hunters to get Nico's stuff as well as Bianca's, despite the Hunters under Zoe being very anti-boy and wanting nothing to do with any of them, implies that she, at least, is remembering Nico's existence.

Then we have the recruitment drive from Artemis and Zoe, which is really very heavy-handed. Artemis intentionally and immediately separates Bianca from the others before they can start extolling Camp Half-Blood to her and manipulates a confused and upset Bianca into joining the Hunt. It's harsh, not at all fair on any of the characters (Bianca was in no mental position to make that sort of decision, Nico didn't deserve to have his sister torn away from him like that), but the one thing it does for certain is takes Bianca out of the running for the Great Prophecy before any of the rest of the characters realised she was in the running for it at all.

So, that's Artemis' actions making a lot more sense all of a sudden. Now for Apollo.

I went into Apollo's interactions with Nico in great depth in a previous essay so I won't rehash that here. The only part of that that's directly relevant is Apollo's refusal to let Nico drive the chariot, despite Nico being very eager to do so, and yes, the fact that he is a ten year old child is a factor in that, but also Zeus would be super-mad if a son of Hades started controlling the sun chariot (even though the sun chariot is technically Apollo's domain and not Zeus', although we know Zeus doesn't care about that - look at the way he's muscled Apollo completely out of any jurisdiction over CHB, despite Apollo being its patron god, something else I will gladly talk about at some point if there's interest!).

But. Let's look at the whole sun chariot thing, shall we, because Apollo's sheer insistence that Thalia drive also makes a lot more sense under this theory. Yes, on the surface it looks like Apollo being obnoxious and not taking no for an answer the way gods tend to do, but when we look a little deeper (especially with TOA under our belts, where we have a much better understanding of how Apollo works), there's a couple of things that stand out.

Firstly, there are four Big Three Kids in that sun chariot. Four of them, and Zeus wants all of them dead aside from his own daughter (and even Thalia is not safe from Zeus if he decides otherwise... see him throwing the lightning bolt at them later in TTC, presumably as a warning for her to not turn against him in Zeus' typical rule-through-fear method). Quite frankly, Apollo was no doubt absolutely terrified at that many Big Three Kids in the chariot - Zeus has proven in the past that he can and will blast it from the sky if he wants.

"Don't sweat it! Maine to Long Island is a really short trip, and don't worry about what happened to the last kid I trained. You're Zeus's daughter. He's not going to blast you out of the sky."

Apollo even makes a point of this, so we know it was on his mind.

Second, the implication here is that Apollo himself isn't certain the chariot won't be struck if he's the one driving, despite it being his own domain - and considering Zeus' paranoia surrounding Apollo and the fact he's clearly watching for Apollo to do something that makes him seem like he's rebelling (proven by how quickly he slams the blame for the events of HOO straight onto Apollo even though everything he punishes Apollo for, with the exception of talking to Octavian, wasn't Apollo's doing at all), Apollo probably isn't wrong about that. Gathering so many powerful kids into his chariot would have Zeus' paranoia sky-high, so to speak.

So, his solution? Put Thalia in the driving seat. Thalia is a daughter of Zeus, and Zeus always treats his daughters better (see Artemis and Athena vs Apollo), and it also forces Zeus to choose, because if he does blast the sun chariot while Thalia is driving, it clearly looks like it's Thalia he's punishing, not Apollo (or even the other Big Three Kids). It's a clever little bit of manipulation by Apollo, albeit with the downside of Thalia's height phobia (and did Apollo know about that? Honestly, he might have done, and while it does feel unusually cruel of rr!Apollo to do that, when his option is make Thalia face her fear or all the mortals (plus Artemis' Hunters) get killed by Zeus... it's very much the lesser evil).

The Twins' actions during the start of the book are heavily geared towards the protection of the di Angelos - Artemis takes Bianca into her Hunt, while Apollo personally escorts Nico straight to Camp, which is something it's implied very few demigods get (by which I mean any actual godly escort; this is the only known case where they're not just escorted by a satyr). Could this all have been Artemis' planning without Apollo involved? Theoretically I suppose that could be argued, but my personal view is no, no it could not. Firstly, the Twins seem to be in each other's radar a lot, to the point where Artemis striking out alone seems to necessitate her telling Apollo she's going alone:

Artemis grit her teeth. "I need a favor. I have some hunting to do, alone. I need you to take my companions to Camp Half-Blood."

Yes, Apollo says just before this: "What's up? You never call. You never write. I was getting worried!", and seems to roll with it just fine, but this is where some of the TOA characterisation comes into play. Apollo is a pathological liar when the situation calls for it, and as already stated, Zeus is paranoid and has his eye on Apollo - which Apollo knows. He can't admit out loud anywhere that he might actually be planning things with Artemis - also, note that he never says that he hasn't seen her recently. It's implied, but that's how Apollo constructs his best lies, by dancing around the truth (it's not like Artemis needs to call or write if she's seeing him regularly, anyway!). It's more likely that he's talking about the fact that he knows she's planning something but she hasn't shared what - that is what is likely actually worrying him, if the declaration of worry is genuine underneath the façade (add in Artemis' next words that she's going hunting alone and it makes it sound like her not working with Apollo is a rarity).

Secondly, we're never shown her actually calling Apollo; the whole encounter feels less spur-of-the-moment and more planned in advance. Yes, she claims she's summoning a ride from him, but all we're shown is her looking east expectantly, complaining about Apollo being lazy in winter, and knowing that dawn (and therefore her brother) is on the way. No, she hasn't told Apollo what she's up to next, which Apollo makes a point to complain about, but the "get the demigods to camp" part of this seems pre-arranged.

Once Nico is at CHB, he's as safe as he can be, and most importantly, he's on the radar of Chiron, Dionysus, and several demigods. Zeus might have been able to zap him if he was alone and unknown without being caught, but now he's been drawn fully into the demigod world, Nico has been protected from Zeus finishing what he started way back when. (This protection extends even after TTC, when Nico runs off, because Nico spends most of his time either in the Underworld or the Labyrinth, which are both areas outside of Zeus' direct influence, and also because he's getting on the radar of more and more gods. Zeus' window of opportunity to quietly finish off the di Angelos without inciting any major backlash has been slammed shut by the Twins' actions, leaving them in the same tentative security that Percy has.)

So, there's the why of this theory, based on canon. But what about the how?

There are two hows in question here. How #1 is how did Apollo and Artemis know they were Hades' children, and How #2 is how did they know before the rest of the gods (which they must have done in able to get them to safety before Zeus intervened).

I'll start with How #1: How did the Twins know they were Hades' kids?

There are a couple of answers to this question. The first, and most obvious one, is that they recognised them as such on sight. Nico is known to look similar to Hades, and while the likes of Percy can be forgiven for not putting two and two together because he's only met Hades the once, other characters, like the gods, would see the resemblance.

Alternatively, they remembered them from the 1930s/40s. The timeline is somewhat inconsistent on exactly when the di Angelos ended up in the Lotus Casino, and the only concrete information we have is that it was contemporary with WWII, but that's still less than a century and to gods, that's no time at all. Apollo himself tells us in TOA that he has perfect recall, which makes sense being the god of knowledge, so the Twins recognising these children as the same children of Hades who disappeared (at the same time the pythia of Delphi was cursed, no less) is more likely than not. In fact, I'd go as far as to argue that it would make no sense for them not to recognise them.

But, why would they know the di Angelo kids in the first place? It's not like the gods pay attention to demigods prior to their arrival at CHB (and even then, it's only barely), and them being known seems unlikely as a general rule, but there are some key points to recall. First is that they are Big Three Kids. They're more powerful than regular demigods (Grover helpfully tells us this when they're first introduced, even though they still didn't twig until the end of the book about their parentage), and more likely to be on the other gods' radar. Second is the time period - we know that WWII, in Riordanverse, was a war between Big Three Kids, so the gods would be actively looking out for other Big Three Kids, especially children of Hades, as his son (presumably Hitler and other high-ranking associates, although I don't recall him ever being explicitly named, just that a few of Hades' children were leaders of the bad guys) is the antagonist. From the way Hades talks in TLO, it seems like the di Angelo siblings are his only children younger than sixteen at the time:

"When you and your sister were young, it was a bad time to be children of Hades. World War II was brewing. A few of my, ah, other children were leading the losing side. I thought it best to put you two out of harm's way."

They were certainly on Zeus' radar (after all, Zeus is the one who tried to kill them, and did kill Maria), but there's also another god who had to know, and that's Apollo.

"I warned you," a new voice said. Hades turned. A girl in a multicolored dress stood by the smoldering remains of the sofa. She had short black hair and sad eyes. She was no more than twelve. I didn't know her, but she looked strangely familiar. "You dare come here?" Hades growled. "I should blast you to dust!" "You cannot," the girl said. "The power of Delphi protects me." With a chill, I realized I was looking at the Oracle of Delphi, back when she was alive and young. Somehow, seeing her like this was even spookier than seeing her as a mummy. "You've killed the woman I loved!" Hades roared. "Your prophecy brought us to this.'" He loomed over the girl, but she didn't flinch. "Zeus ordained the explosion to destroy the children," she said, "because you defied his will. I had nothing to do with it. And I did warn you to hide them sooner."

While Apollo himself is never mentioned by name in relation to this scene, the pythia of Delphi - his Oracle - makes an appearance, not for the first time, apparently. She went out off her way to warn Hades specifically about protecting Bianca and Nico earlier; there is no feasible way that she could have known about the di Angelos if Apollo didn't (in fact, it wouldn't be out of the question to consider that Apollo saw the danger to the di Angelos and sent her himself, after all we know Apollo doesn't like demigod deaths), which means that Apollo had to know of their existence.

And if Apollo knew, Artemis probably did, too.

So, that's how they knew who the di Angelos were. Now, onto How #2: how did they know before the rest of the gods (or at least, Zeus), when they emerged from the Lotus Casino?

There are two possibilities for this. One is that Apollo happened to see Alecto retrieving them from the sun chariot - in fact, I'd argue that this would have been the case regardless of whether or not option two is also true, because Apollo can see everything from there, and that would give him the exact timing.

Two is that Apollo foresaw their re-emergence. We don't know the exact limits of Apollo's foresight. He doesn't give us any straight answers on that during TOA at all; the closest we get is this, which is also so early on in the narration that the truthfulness of it is somewhat up in the air (I am inclined to believe him because of his knowledge and prophecy domains, but the potential for a lie or exaggeration is certainly there):

Had I been my usual omniscient self, I could have gleaned Meg’s destiny. I could have looked into her soul and seen all I needed to know about her godly parentage, her powers, her motives and secrets.

There's also a lot of hints towards this in TTC, around the sun chariot ride:

Apollo studied me, but he didn't say anything, which I found a little creepy. "Well!" he said at last.

and

He winked at me. "Watch out for those prophecies, Percy. I'll see you soon." "What do you mean?" Instead of answering, he hopped back in the bus. "Later, Thalia," he called. "And, uh, be good!" He gave her a wicked smile, as if he knew something she didn't.

as well as later on in the book:

Apollo chuckled. "Fast enough. Unfortunately, we're running out of time. It's almost sunset. But I imagine we'll get you across a good chunk of America, at least." "But where is Artemis?" His face darkened. "I know a lot, and I see a lot. But even I don't know that. She's… clouded from me. I don't like it."

The implications are there that Apollo really does see a lot, more than I think we could actually properly comprehend as mere mortals who only see the here and now (I know my mind breaks when I try and conceptualise how much Apollo might actually know but hasn't happened yet, or might happen, or might have happened but didn't because there's a degree of fluidity and change in the future because nothing is set in stone until it happens), which means it is well within all likelihood that he saw the di Angelos leaving the Lotus Casino with enough warning to come up with a plan to protect them once they did. Add in the fact that Nico, at least, is intrinsically tied to the Great Prophecy, and it would make a lot of sense for Apollo to see a major point in his life like this one.

And Nico is intrinsically tied. Right from the end of TTC, it's blatant. Percy claimed the prophecy for his own because he refused to pass it on to Nico, in a parallel to Thalia, who blatantly dodged it and tossed the baton straight at Percy.

"I don't need forever," I said. "Just two years. Until I'm sixteen." Annabeth paled. "But, Percy, this means the prophecy might not be about you. It might be about Nico. We have to—" "No," I said. "I choose the prophecy. It will be about me." "Why are you saying that?" she cried. "You want to be responsible for the whole world?" It was the last thing I wanted, but I didn't say that. I knew I had to step up and claim it. "I can't let Nico be in any more danger," I said. "I owe that much to his sister. I… let them both down. I'm not going to let that poor kid suffer any more."

Then, of course, we have the Curse of Achilles, which is what kept Percy alive long enough to make the choice - that was Nico's idea and Nico's doing - and Nico being the one to convince Hades to join the fight to save Olympus. Nico was not the prophecy child, although Annabeth (and Hades, in TLO) is right to say that he could have been, but he still made major decisions and influenced Percy dramatically, which had a direct knock-on effect to the resolution of the prophecy when it happened.

With this in mind, it seems that if there's any character that Apollo would have a front-row seat to the possible destiny (or destinies) of, it's Nico di Angelo.

So, there you have it. That's why I think the Twins knew about the di Angelos' parentage right from the start, and also the logistics behind them knowing in the first place. It puts their canon actions in a whole new, and frankly far more realistic, light when we look at it this way - or at least, I think so.

@nxtleftbehxnd One of my rp friends and one of my partners. o: I’ve known them for a few years now. It’s two to four years now I’m p sure at this point.

@swcctdreams One of my rp friends and one of my partners as well lol. I’ve known them for around two to three years.

@enterprisingmuses I’ve known them for around 5-7 years or more roughly. Another good bestie. c;

@hecatcd We’ve known each other for a long time tbh. Probably the second person I’ve known the longest out of whom I’ve mentioned that’s still active, but we’ve only really started talking frequently this past year off and on.

@solarcandydrops I’ve known them for a good few years now dating way back. So probably... if including my Wendy Blog interactions? Around 4ish to 6ish years. A good friend of mine tho too. <3

@fairymint Someone I’ve also known a godly amount of time for... in about 4-5 years off and on?

@morttodea Yet another person I’ve known for a huge amount of time. Probably around 4 to 6 years. I consider them a bestie. c;

@infernal-feminae Around 2 years at least now... maybe 3? Cherry is v poggers and v bestie and also my ace partner. -flops-

@diadxrling Oh yeah, you might know this girl. I’ve known her for at least 1 or 2 years now, possibly going on three. I cannot keep up with the life of me. But she’s certainly a really close bestie of mine. uwu

@perfect-fourth HOO BOY, get a load of this cutie. They’ve known me since my cringe rp days when I was elven years younger. The fact we’re still friends and talk every so often still and I love them dearly after all these years I hope says how much I care about them. They helped me in my formative years and be a better person that I am today and I don’t think I’ll ever really be able to express how thankful I am to them as a friend. c:

@xdeerxhealerx At least two years now! V much a sweetheart and v soft and bestie-material.

@advnterccs. I’ve known them for... a few years now? Around two to three, v bestie shaped tho and me love.

@stories-of-the-multiverse V poggers person, I’ve known them for two to three years. V sweet, v loyal and I care for them dearly. c:

@aplushemporium A very warm, shy, but loving person once you get to know them. I’ve known them since my onion blog, so around 6-7ish years off and on? We recently found each other again and it made me v happy. uwu

@starfirechan A v sweet person that I highly recommend. It’s been a while since we’ve talked but I’ve known them for 2-3 years now, near the start of this blog or perhaps longer? I’m unsure, but they’re v good and I care for them deeply. c:

@ladiesofhell I’d say I’ve known you quite a while now. At least one or two years, yeah? You’re v sweet and warm feeling for the times we do talk though.

Then one of my unnamed discord partners that I like to meet up and smooch in real life at times that I’ve known forever? I was a minor since then and they’ve moved out of state but they take the time to come hit me up sometimes privately but we talk quite a bit on discord here. c:

I know there’s a lot of gushing on this part, but I have WAY more people on here than listed for knowing rp partners that’s long. <3 I just had to limit it to less than a year or near a year for timeframe that I’m super close to as well. I just have a lot of love to give and don’t consider people greater or lesser than each other for my besties. Family, Best Friends and Lovers is never a competition. (Mostly to just reassure the people I know that didn’t get mentioned) Sometimes roads just lead you to different places, but true loving hearts always beat the same for one another, no matter the time or distance. That’s always been true for me anyway. If I forgot you on here, I’m v sorry and didn’t mean to, let me know if you’re active still and I’ll put you on here or if you want to not be mentioned, let me know too. <3 c:

What do you look for in an rp partner:

//Giving me my space, not trying to control me. Not being really weird ooc out the gate when I barely know them. Not being entitled and creepy toward me and my time, as hrm, the DNI person on my rules is a good example of that. Doesn’t use cis-normative language which also includes the basic, minimum decency as a person. Overall I just look for consistency for length, replies and being openly communicative with me.

How do you overcome writer’s block:

//Simple. I keep writing, sometimes there’s a mountain you have to overcome, take a break here and there, but you will get over that mountain eventually if you keep going after taking a breather. It’s better to just get something down than just sitting there staring down at it. You can always save it and rework it later.

Begone

Streamer Gang & Asexual Reader (Gender Neutral)

Warnings: Acephobia, Swearing

Genre: Platonic Fluff, Comfort, RPF (Real Person Fic)

Summary: Having recently come out as asexual, Y/N faces some less than pleasant or appropriate responses in their chat during their stream with the gang. Luckily, they’re not alone in battling the haters this time.

Requested by the lovely Anon who told acephobes to begone, yeah you know who you are hehe. Thank you so much for the request darling! Let’s show these acehobes who they’re messing with! Love, Vy ❤

Boy is this nerve-wrecking or what? Sure, I maybe woke up with a ton of confidence, I listened to motivational and uplifting talks and listened to mood boosting music. I had a healthy breakfast and a cup of coffee. Damn it, I went on a run, all in an attempt to convince myself that dealing with the online world again is but a piece of cake for a badass like me. Well, low and behold, that feeling didn’t last very long. Here I am, chewing my nails off at the though of hopping in the Discord call and Among Us lobby with my friends and starting my stream. It’s not like I’m not expecting my friends and fans to support me - of course I am! I know they’re gonna give me a ton of love and appreciation and support and uplift me no matter what. But then again, there’s still those people who believe me and other people like me to be invalid and broken and whatnot.

Those are the ones I wanna avoid.

It’s not like their words mean much to me but I simply don’t wanna see em, you know? It’s not only about me - it’s least about me actually - it’s more about all those wonderful people they are insulting when they say shit like that about asexuals and all the people on the ace spectrum. I can’t help but flare up and get angry on the behalf of all my ace friends and even people I’ve never met.

It’s also my first time being directly thrown into the fire instead of getting caught in the crossfire seeing as how I came out to my fandom via a tweet and an Instagram post a week ago, telling my identity’s truth: finally bringing my asexuality to the surface to shine its brightest so I can be be my best and reach for my full potential.

But damn am I afraid to see how everyone took it.

My friends were quick to jump in and take me offline before I start refreshing my own posts to see the comments under them. Lord knows that without them I would’ve driven myself insane, I’ll forever be grateful for what they did and the lengths they went to to keep me offline and whatnot. One word to give you an idea of how invested they were in this: origami. All of us might as well have been born with two left hands and yet we still tried doing origami. Freaking origami.

Damn do I love my friends.

But now I don’t have sheets of paper and my friends to distract me. I have a fanbase to entertain and another friend group I haven’t talked to in a while. I don’t wanna get any predictions in already so I don’t jinx myself, so I’m just gonna say it’s gonna be...interesting regardless of what happens.

Then again, when is it not interesting when the streamer gang’s involved.

Deep breaths, Y/N. You got this

Listening to that encouraging little voice inside my head, I finally equip my headphones and in one fluid motion turn my camera on, officially starting my stream and unmuting my mic as I hop in the call with everyone.

“Hi guys! Guess who’s returned!“ I exclaim cheerfully, desperate to hide the nervousness of my voice.

“You really missed your opportunity to say ‘guess who’s back...back again’ didn’t you?“ Charlie is the one who greets me first, sounding rather disappointed in me in his usual jokester manner. It’s nice to hear, it makes me feel like nothing’s changed in the week I’ve been gone. Like I’m still the same person to these people. I really am the same, I just now am a lot better version of myself. Almost as though I’ve reached my final form. It feels empowering really. “I’m kidding, I’m kidding.” Charlie laughs again, “Congrats, by the way. You keep proving you can get cooler and cooler.“

“Careful there Charlie, I can only handle so large of an ego.“ I joke back, rolling my eyes playfully as a wide grin spreads across my face, “No, but seriously, thank you so much, man. It means the world to me that you support me.“

“Um, how could we NOT?“ That’s very clearly Rae, “Hun, you are so brave and amazing and wonderful, how could we ever NOT support you?“

“Yeah, we’ll always support you no matter what, Y/N. We’ll always be your friends, through thick, thin and beyond.“ Poki too interferes, her words only making my smile wider.

“Alright, alright, y’all are gonna make me cry and I haven’t even read my chat yet, hold on.“ I say, fanning my face to dry the tears I hope the webcam isn’t spotting, “Darn, you guys are the best. Sorry, give me a sec to gather my composure, I’ll be right back.“

I quickly mute my in-game mic as I turn to my chat where I see the same amount of love and support in the form of comments and emojis flooding in from my viewers. A warm feeling spreads throughout my chest, making me feel the most comfortable with myself I’ve ever felt. The most loved I’ve ever felt. The most seen and understood. To finally be you feels like you are finally really living in this world, not like you’ve been already living in it for God knows how long. It makes me so freaking happy and fulfilled to finally be living as me, as the real me.

Unfortunately, in life, nothing can be 100% pure and good. There’s always at least 1% there threatening to ruin all your happiness you worked so hard to build or obtain. It may be one in a hundred, but fuck it’s powerful and effective.

And in my case it comes in the form of two comments that stick out to my eyes. Acephobic comments saying my identity’s fake, claiming I’m faking it, saying us acephobes are immature creatures who refuse to grow up, or attention whores. Or just saying we’re delusional and in denial, confused about who we are.

I hadn’t even realized I was clenching my jaw and fists but when I do, I slowly relax my muscles and crack my knuckles before addressing the two people who spat out that nonsense.

“Ok, listen here, shooterpro69 and yourmom_lol. For starters, I want to apologize for your ignorance and lack of education on the matter of asexuality. In fact, for you especially, I plan on making an educational video, explaining asexuality to people who need or want to learn more. You, my friends, are in desperate need to be fed some knowledge cause damn, God knows how many people secretly think you’re hella stupid. Not that they’re wrong to think so but anyway. Unless you have anything nice or positive to say, begone from my chat. Actually, when I think about it, begone from every chat. No one needs you polluting their communities with acephobia and hate.“ I say, all spoken in a calm tone despite the boiling anger within me. People who know me well would probably be able to tell I’m fuming underneath the calm façade, but at least I got my message across loud and clear.

“WOO HOO, You tell em Y/N!“ Toast cheers, clapping his hands and whistling as more cheering arises from each my friends, leaving me in a state of mild shock and confusion.

Wait, what?!

“Um, wait, you guys heard that?“ I ask, my eyes darting to thein-game mic symbol that shows an not crossed-off mic, meaning it was enabled during the entirety of my speech.

“Hell yeah we did! You slayed them, Y/N! Damn goddamn!“ Rae whistles too, her enthusiasm wafting over me like a breath of fresh air.

“I second that!“ Corpse joins in, “And remember what we said - we’ll support you through anything. Need to bury an acephobe’s body, we’re the people you should call.” He says, confident as heck.

And I just can’t hold it in anymore - I burst out laughing, doubling over from the intensity.

If I thought I was happy and fulfilled before, this has to be the closest to paradise I’m gonna get on Earth. All thanks to these wonderful people. Friends are really something else aren’t they: they come into your life - often unexpectedly - and change it completely. Suddenly you’re not alone, you’re not forced to deal with everything and face everything on your own. Someone’s got your back and you’ve got theirs.

Through thick, thin and beyond.

And it’s so fucking amazing.

man. it's weird, because there's a lot of things about me that are Very Badger Primary, to the point where i would probably pick it with a strong bird model over anything else at this point... except that i hate dehumanization. i saw primaries described recently as 'things you wouldn't be you anymore if you went against,' and more than just about anything else that's it. even when i think people are monsters, i can't see them as not human; i'd be hard put to define exactly what i consider a 'monster,' but it's more about like. good faith than personhood, i suppose?

it's not necessarily a permanent status to be one--people can change--but my deeply held instinct is that once you have done something monstrous you will always be a person who has been a monster by your own choices, and that it's your duty to learn how to accept that while still living your life, and act accordingly from thereon out. you have to reconcile that you are a person with the fact that some doors are closed to you now, and it's up to you to decide what you do from there.

just. like. even when i hate someone and as far as i'm concerned they can go fuck themself, even in the multiple Heavily Badger social environments i've been in over the course of my life--church, progressive circles, the way the structure of the internet kind of just affects you in general--even on occasions where i've gotten swept away and given in to the pressure to dehumanize (or perform it) for a minute, there's always, always been a voice in the back of my head saying this is a person. this is a person. this is a person. this isn't right.

unintentional dehumanization sets off my '...should we really be doing this? we are getting into not good territory here, it's time to pull up and start questioning' alarms. explicit, intentional, purposeful dehumanization sets off the whole ass tornado sirens. if people on my side are doing it it's enough to throw me into a system-destabilizing crisis, because NO NO NO I WANT TO GET OFF THIS RIDE, I WANT NO PART OF THESE PEOPLE'S MORAL SYSTEM, I FEEL UNCLEAN. it's a good way to make sure i will never, ever, ever trust someone again.

things that are Really Really Badger, off the top of my head (after the cut because Long and trauma talk):

[[MORE]]

---

-i've always loved playing adoptable games, pet simulators, etc? any game with randomly generated characters that are Yours Now and a Community, in a deeply badgery way. including games where they can die (the satisfying part is making sure they don't). except that, no matter how much fun the gameplay is, if it gets to the point where they start feeling disposable, and the only way to really keep playing is to stop humanizing them, i lose interest. it's super fucking depressing. it feels like part of me dying inside a little. i don't like it at all.

-i've always been drawn to fandoms and roleplaying communities. i was fiercely loyal to, and proud of, my first rp community on dragoncave as a 13-year-old. when my abusive mom found out about it and completely isolated me for half a year, the promise of being able to make it back to them--just sneakier this time--kept me going; when i finally got back and the group had drifted apart in my absence, it.... was absolutely devastating. i never really recovered from it. even then, i spent years trying to get the group back together every now and then, until i finally gave up.

-i am always keenly, painfully aware of the life cycle of a community. every time i hear the sentiment 'you guys are all great and i love this group' my stomach drops, because i know it's only a matter of time before things go sour or the group dissolves. rp groups, skype chats/discord servers, fandoms, you name it, i am always bracing myself or staying away entirely to avoid the inevitable and it hurts. and it hurts to see people taking part in a community i don't dare be part of, which makes lurking in fandoms... really rough. frankly, it takes me a lot of courage every time i express my appreciation for the shc community because i've been burned so many times.

-on that note: i went through some really traumatic stuff at the end of 2020 that completely turned my life upside down, and i was doing bad until i stumbled across the shc community. the moment i started engaging, it was a huge boost to my mental health, and my ability to cope with circumstances under which i was about to break down spectacularly. and it has been ever since! contributing to The Group Project and seeing other folks being friendly with each other gives me the happy feelings.

-i used to go out of my way to build and run spaces, mainly fandom and rp spaces, and took a lot of pride in engineering them so that they Functioned Well. unfortunately it wore me the hell down over the years for Burnt Badger Reasons, and now i'm too jaded, bitter, and exhausted to give a shit about being a mod/community leader anymore because of it lmao

-among those burnt badger things i relate HARD to the Red Ledger narrative. hoo boy.

-i wish i could find it again, but there was an mlp comic i saw once which went into luna's observations of what each element of harmony Means. with the element of friendship, she says that twilight has a massive amount of love to give; right now it's all focused on celestia, but when she learns to expand it outward she'll have grown into her full potential as a person, and she'll change the world. that struck a chord with how i used to feel, hard, and it's really stuck with me ever since. (hello, unhealthy snake model)

-emphasis on 'used to feel,' lmao

-got super invested in a really toxic '''mental health''' community at a low point in my life; exploded HARD trying to help everyone i could; got into vicious, protracted fights with the shitty mods for years about the harmful way they ran their community until i finally managed to go 'fuck this it's not getting better' and leave.

-had to numb myself emotionally to the people around me for a long time once i really started learning about mental health and trauma stuff, because now i was seeing signs of their pain and baggage everywhere i looked, and i couldn't handle not being able to help.

-the imagery with which i think about my bird primary is overwhelmingly negative. whether it's my actual primary or a model, i uh. i feel like a healthy relationship to one's primary doesn't involve associating it with gore.

-i saw a conversation recently about how birds think of morality in terms of 'if you can, you should,' and how that's scary for badgers because their definition of 'can' involves destroying yourself for the sake of that 'should,' and... yeah, that's a mood. that's a BIG mood. thinking about bird primary stuff is hard--and i had to pick up my lion model to deal with it--because it's so easy for me to spiral into a self-shredding spiral of other people are counting on you to do the right thing, how dare you pull back for your own health and sanity. how dare you turn your back for even a minute. how dare you rest. the work is never done.

which is... a very exploded badger approach to exploded bird morality. whoops.

-fix-it and time travel fiction in which Everything Went Right This Time and It's Going to Be Okay are one of my very favorite self-indulgent fantasies. i will enjoy putting characters through the wringer in all kinds of creatively horrific ways which may or may not end on a downer note, certainly, i love that shit, but i will also 90% of the time have a backup version of the arc or dynamic that's softer and lighter and Actually Healthy This Time. it's the dichotomy there that really gets me tbh, a story where Everything Ends Happily by default will mmmaybe pull me in? but stories where there's the constant shadow of this could end horribly, it's supposed to end horribly, and we got a happy fucking ending anyway are just... that shit will make me cry, man.

it's also why i kind of really hate stable time loop stories where it initially looks like this is going to be The Good Timeline this time around, but OOPSIE everything went to shit anyway! we're right back where we started, just like it was meant to be all along! it's a tired cliche by this point and an unsatisfying one for me, and it makes me roll my eyes every time.

-this is relevant to the bird vs. badger because like... my gut instinct is to prioritize people over systems. when shit hits the fan, when someone's fallen into the machinery and is about to get hurt, i don't feel right about it if i just let it happen. i'll break the machinery if i have to to keep it away from them; i won't feel great about that, and it might cause problems, but fuck it, we'll figure it out later. throwing people into the gears of a system when i'm convinced it's the only option makes me feel Awful.

-related to the above, another trope that really speaks to me in fiction is when a character defies the rules of reality through sheer force of will. no, this is not happening, i don't give a shit what the limits are supposed to be. i refuse to let this be the way things are. (there's that lion model.)

-i've just kind of... always wanted to be an Everyone Badger. it makes me sad how much of that i've lost over the years as i've gotten more cynical, but it's what i wish i could be.

---

doubtless i'll think of more the moment i hit send, and there are just as many things about me that are Super Bird Primary, but like... mamma mia that's some spicy badger. the main thing stopping me is the Can't and Refuse to Dehumanize bit. i also... hm. i think i can function okay without a community? they just help a lot, and it sucks when i'm confronted with one i don't have a (stable) place in. any thoughts? is it possible for a bird system's foundation to run so deep that eventually it overrides the bird?

Hey, there! I thought I’d drop by with a little (long-overdue) update on Because We’re Here. I’ve just re-read the last devlog post (the, uh, February 2020 update) and oh gosh, it’s like unearthing a time capsule! I was very optimistic 2020 was going to be a productive year, wasn’t I? Uh. Whoops.

Like last time, please manage your expectations! :’D This isn’t a very big update at all, and it’s more talking about the process rather than the game itself - but I thought I’d check in and just let you handful of faithful devlog-checkers know that the project’s still ticking along, haha.

Act III Development Update!

Act III is taking a bit longer than I’d hoped back in February, but it’s coming along! I've been trying not to burn myself out like I did with Act II (those last few months before publishing it were rough! And took me a good few months to recover ^^;) but also, it’s obviously been a bit difficult to stay focused and energetic throughout most of this year, and I’ve had a couple of points where confidence wasn’t really in ample supply either. What a year. Hoo boy. (This probably isn’t a very professional tone of voice for a project update, but that’s fine, I’ve long since accepted what kind of shambolic operation I’m running here and I’m sure you have too. xD)

The good news is: I’ve been on a bit of a roll for the past couple of months! I'm feeling much more clearheaded while I write, and I’m starting to get back to the level of gamedev optimism and energy I had in February. Which feels great! Obviously all those other factors mean that Act III isn't going to be released in 2020 as I’d hoped, but I doubt many of you are expecting that at this point, hah. :') However, I really want to get it out in springtime. As any of you familiar with the project's development will know, I'm effectively working as a solo dev and timetables may change, so that's very far from a guarantee, but that's what I'm currently aiming for! So watch this space!

(I will also mention that, with the work that’s been done so far, Act IV is unliiiikely to take a full year after Act III, and it's very plausible that that'll also be out in 2021 (albeit late 2021). But again, I really can't talk timings with any degree of certainty just yet!)

Anyway, the main thing I wanted to say today is: I'm actually going to start this devlog up again in the new year, and open with a proper, detailed update in earlyish 2021 - looking more at where Act III (and IV!) are at that point. I’m aiming to have work on Act III almost complete and it sent off to my handful of beta-readers by then! But in any case, I’ll be able to give a much more concrete estimate of timings and so on.

It feels good to have broken the seal on posting again - this is me trying to slowly return to the world of Being Online. But for the most part, I'm staying true to my online nature (which is: hermit) and I’m going to keep quietly working on Act III for the rest of this year. And by January I’ll have done more of the programming and integrating the graphics, so I ought to be able to give some nice screenshots, and I’ll actually tell you a little bit about the act. And maybe launch the Steam page shortly after!! Exciting.

Though in the meantime, I might try and be around a little more than I have been. I was thinking of posting some more fanart up on here - I’ve had some really nice pieces come in on Discord and Twitter since Act II was released, and I’d like to keep them collected here with the rest! ;D

The Leftfield Collection

A really cool thing that happened (that I teased in the February update but ended up going a bit quiet on social media and didn’t get around to properly announcing on here) is Because We’re Here got accepted into the avant-garde Leftfield Collection showcase for the EGX Rezzed expo in London! It was supposed to be in March, but obviously fate had other ideas. Although BWH was briefly in a digital Rezzed showcase that got featured on the Steam front page and I got a couple hundred extra wishlists from it, so that was a really nice boost!

There was a neat article written about the collection on Rock Paper Shotgun here! I was very excited to go and exhibit there because I had such fun at AdventureX last November, so it was quite a disappointment that Rezzed couldn’t go ahead! But, I mean... by that point, it was definitely for the better. So, c’est la vie. In any case, I was super honoured to have had BWH selected for it, and it was really lovely to be included on a lineup with so many cool and interesting games! ^^

Alrighty, Then.

So that’s the Act III update. Thank you all for your patience! It's (QUITE OBVIOUSLY) been a strange old year. I know that a good amount of my setbacks this year have been shared by basically everyone in the world, ha. And I’m aware of how lucky I am that 'unproductivity and nerves' is roughly the extent of my 2020 troubles, so I can’t really complain. I hope you're all doing okay with everything the year has thrown at us so far.

I’ve had fewer people getting in touch and asking me about Act III than I did about Act II, and I think that’s a combination of ‘pandemic; delays understandable’ and hopefully ‘Act II left people a lot more sated than Act I’ ahaha. But fear not... Act III is definitely still on its way. And things are going well! I hope you have a good rest of the year, and I’ll update you properly (and if things have gone to plan, maybe start on a longer run-up to release this time around) next year! :D

~~~~~~

Because We’re Here is a bittersweet otome visual novel in an unforgiving WW1-inspired setting.

Acts I + II are out now on itch.io and Steam!

You can also support Studio Elfriede on Ko-Fi! You’ll help towards the cost of the new Act III artwork, and get in the Special Thanks if you’re not already~

Hi guys, ready for some more crazy The Amazing Devil nonsense? Because I sure am! Basically, a while ago (like a week after The Horror and the Wild came out) I made a post comparing Wild Blue Yonder and That Unwanted Animal, because they’re basically a song about the same couple on the same night, but from wildly different perspectives. I still wholeheartedly believe that — there are just too many things that match up (I don’t think I even got all the connections in that post) — but I’m here to add a new thought: Battle Cries also fits in with this.

It’s not quite as on-the-nose, and I didn’t notice it right away because Battle Cries is full of references to other songs, both musically (the end of all things motif) thematically (Rockrose and the Thistle) and lyrically (catch references to almost every song on the album somewhere in there). It’s a masterpiece, and I still don’t understand how Joey and Madeleine did it. Anyway. So I noticed the connections to WBY and TUA, but I didn’t read anything into it, since there are references to other songs in Battle Cries.

But I’ve been thinking about it, and it really seems like it’s about the same couple, on the same night as Wild Blue Yonder and That Unwanted Animal. So this post is me going through Battle Cries and finding/pointing out as many references as I can.

I’m going to start with Madeleine’s part: she begins, “I’m at the brink, don’t laugh/at those winks I’ve masked/who’ll save you when you fall?” Now, I’ve thought of this as a direct reference to That Unwanted Animal for well over a month. I mean, consider: “well hello, my hollow Holofernes,’ I wink but you don’t get the joke” in TUA. Not only are these the only two mentions of winking in the whole album, but both also reference jokes/laughter at the same time.

I also want to point out “who’ll save you when you fall” with TUA, because the climax of That Unwanted Animal is “hold the hand of the god-child, they said as he falls from the sky, be good to me I beg of him,” which also fits with this. She saves him when he falls, and it destroys her. (That’s one possible interpretation, and one that fits with this post.)

“Who wins this war? You’ve a knack/for applause from the back of the stalls but you lack/the conviction to look at me straight/and say yes” are Madeleine’s next lines in Battle Cries, and I really can’t figure out how a lot of it would tie into WBY or TUA, except for the last part. “You lack the conviction to look at me straight and say yes,” which ties into Battle Cries later with “don’t lie with your eyes, you know I despise that look.” It also fits into TUA with “don’t you hear that scratching/I ask your eyes” and Joey’s “I’ve got something in my eye” in WBY. In all of this, she’s looking for confirmation of something in his eyes, and he can’t deliver that.

I’m skipping over “don’t be uncouth, be a man, don’t lie with your eyes you know I despise that look” because I already covered it in the last paragraph, and the next section doesn’t really have any direct parallels to either song, and that’s the end of the first verse!

Obviously “these plates they smash like waves/place your smile in mine” is a direct callback to TUA (“these plates they smash like waves/place your hand in mine”) although it does seem to be more of a relationship sort of thing, rather than a “hold the hand of the god-child” thing in this. (I personally think “Place your smile in mine” is supposed to mean a kiss.)

Also, not to read too much into something (I say, reading too much into everything TAD-related) but “these lines aren’t wrinkles, dear heart” reminds me very much of “I’ve got knuckleburn from typing all these lines into your chest.” I already have a theory that all mentions of lines in this song are intended to be read both as lines on skin (“these lines aren’t wrinkles” sort of thing) and as lines like in a play (“come on love, please don’t start, sing your notes play your part”.)

Also, an interesting thing to note: Madeleine never sings the “it’s applause” part of “that creaking you hear in my bones is not pain, it’s applause,” she just stops at pain. Which I think ties into this somehow, but this post is going to be long enough without me getting into that. So I’m just throwing it out there as something for y’all to consider. Feel free to add onto this with your own ideas if you so desire!

Madeleine’s part in verse 2 again seems to refer to TUA/WBY. I mean, even the “we were gods” (and Joey’s “we were kids” response) goes hand in hand (ha) with the God-Child. They (or even just Joey) were gods and children at the same time. (Alternatively, this could be Joey refuting Madeleine’s point: “we were gods,” she says, and he replies with a sad, nostalgic smile, “no, we were kids,” but I prefer the other reading because the gods theory is very near and dear to my heart.)

The “come at me, you blaggards” section has a lot of things that interest me, but they’re in Joey’s part, so I’m skipping over it for now, and instead going on to “I’m not a drunkard, a daughter, a creature, God knows how you dragged us both into the darkness that grows.”

This section screams TUA especially to me. The drunkard part references earlier in Battle Cries (plus other references to drinking, like in Marbles or FW?), and the daughter part references (directly contradicting) THatW, but “a preacher” is interesting, because in TUA, Madeleine refers to herself as a priest. (“I’m the paper cut that kills you and the priest that you ignored”.) I’ve mentioned elsewhere (probably not on Tumblr, mostly I spew my bs on Discord) that this section is Madeleine directly refuting claims about her from earlier songs on the album, and this is notable because this is the only claim that she makes about herself that she contradicts. But that’s beside the point. “You dragged us both into the darkness that grows” is also interesting within this reading (although I have a lot of thoughts about this line just in general, but I’m trying to stay on focus a little bit), because it really fits with the “‘be good to me I beg of him,’ ‘No, no, not I’” at the end of TUA. Like I said earlier, she saves him, and it (he) destroys her.

(Notice also how Madeleine’s character blames Joey, while Joey sings “we sunk into water no creature can know,” not distributing blame to either party.)

Next is the biggest WBY/TUA section of this entire song: Madeleine sings “I won’t leave without a fight,” while Joey sings “I won’t let you turn our last night into this.” This is a breakup, their last night together, just like in WBY (“one last time, love, come and rip my clothes off”). And Madeleine’s picking the fight, while Joey doesn’t want a bad ending. It perfectly fits the narrative that both WBY and TUA have already created. (Also: “I’m gonna binge watch a box set, drink wine, reminisce” with “the wine stains hide the tears” earlier?)

To move onto Joey’s part, obviously his lines are more lighthearted, hopeful, all of that. In verse one, he seems to be looking back at the night: check out his “the wind feels so warm on the back of my neck, as I walk with the sun hand-in-hand from the wreck, some fictions we took to mean fate, believe me I know.” The wreck goes well with the storm and wind that keeps being mentioned in TUA, plus TUA’s “I make shipwrecks out of my dress and the door below us splinters.” This is afterwards. The sun has come out after the storm. “The wrinkles and bricks” bit that he sings first also goes well with this, especially the “fictions we took to mean fate.” Compare it with Madeleine’s “every brick you hurled I’ll use to build this world” in WBY.

Also, not to bring back a theme, but truth and eyes are both mentioned in Joey’s part, except he’s not accusing Madeleine of lying. “Tell the truth to me love, does my hair look as nice as it did when you once tied it up in your eyes?” Just something I thought was worth mentioning.

Joey’s part in verse 2 similarly complements Madeleine’s. “With you I could summon the gods and the stars, make them dance out the plays that we wrote from the heart, and we’d laugh at the ghosts of our fears.” I’m going to draw from both this and the “come at me, you blaggards” section because, as I mentioned earlier, I have a lot of thoughts about this.

What I really have focused on is the “wielding words” aspect of this section. (“Wielding words against make-believe wizards and tanks” which again, refers back to “some fictions we took to mean fate” but that’s not important right now.) Words as weapons/something to be feared pops up multiple times in this album, and notably, it shows up in all three songs I’m talking about. “Those words we flung for fear of sound” in WBY, “you turn the telly on to drown out your fear and make the bed up silent on the floor so no one will hear us” in TUA both have this idea of words/sound being something to fear. (Consider also THatW’s “you’re the words that I promise I don’t mean”.) However, Joey considers these a fiction at this point: “we laugh at the ghosts of our fears.”

The next section is “but we sunk into water no creature can know, you dragged us along to watch all of your shows, our devils broke rank and out of the depths came an army,” which. Hoo boy. Sinking into water fits with the shipwreck/storm idea of That Unwanted Animal, and the idea of an army coming out of those depths against them works well with all the things they’re afraid might be out there in WBY. (wolves, demons, robot vampire, i dunno!)

Joey’s “I won’t let you turn our last night into this” fits well with the idea of Madeleine coming in and turning the situation into what happens in TUA. And the last verse of the song seems to be an actual ending to this story. While both WBY and TUA end before the night does — WBY with “I’ll bruise you” and TUA with the god-child refusing to be good to her, another parallel, I think — Battle Cries ends with a proper resolution to the situation. It’s the one part of Battle Cries that doesn’t fit with the other two songs, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an extension of those songs.

I know this isn’t everything but this post has gotten really, really long so if you want extra thoughts about this, feel free to send an ask my way! And as always, if you have thoughts of your own, I love seeing people add on to these posts.

TLDR: the songs Wild Blue Yonder, That Unwanted Animal, and Battle Cries are all songs about the same couple on the same night. Battle Cries is only different in that it gives a conclusion to the story.

how sensitive do you think kyou's balls are does he love having them played with? kissed??? oh goodness i bet his whole body twitches when his love kisses his tip.. also what color do you think his hair is down there? i need answers

Warning: NSFW

Ooooh okay, so some of these opinions may have been influenced by the discord server I’m in. My friends talk about the most scintillating stuff. 😂

His balls would most likely be very sensitive. He would love it if his s/o sucked on them while giving him a hand job. He also loves it when his lover reaches down between her legs (while he’s fucking her from behind) to cup his balls and play with them. Like that drives him wild.

Lowkey, he also loves it when she digs her nails into his back and leaves scratches with her nails; bc it just means that he fucked her good if she lost her senses enough to mess his back up like that. 😌

And yes, I do agree that his whole body twitches when the tip of his dick is kissed. Especially when it’s sucked and licked; just paid very intricate and special attention; especially when his foreskin is pulled back. Hoo boy. Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with my friends’ opinions that he is also uncut like the rest of the Pillars. 🤤

As for his pubes... well, I think he would usually keep it trimmed so that it doesn’t get in the way of his beloved blowjobs. But when he lets it grow out, it would be blond with a few streaks of red just like in his hair. So yes, the curtains match the carpet.

Excuse me while I dip myself in an icy bath. 😂

((hey guys! so this blog’s dead as fuck. you’ve probably noticed. I never really intended for it to be as active and loved as my Trixie or AJ, hence why they have their own blogs, BUT BUT BUT.... all this talk of the final season’s got me itching to do stuff with other characters. ones i’m very bad and rusty with, but i’m here for fun.

I feel like what I should do is make a wishlist! below the cut are ships I’d like to write / ideas in general that I’d like to write for each character. HEADS UP, it’s mainly ships and nothing too substantial ghjgfhjsjds i’m bad with coming up with thread ideas w/o knowing what muse it’ll be with. but there’s a few vague ideas in there.

if you’re interested in anything don’t be shy! reply to this post, IM me, inbox me, whatever. we can talk about it! I’m open to doing similar things with multiple people, too! we can change it up a bit. I don’t think I plot nearly as much as I should / would like to due to anxiety. lol.

anyways! yeah. that’s it. it’ll be under the cut. BUT IN CASE YOU DON’T CARE FOR SPECIFICS-

in GENERAL just in case you don’t know what to hit me with, i’m mostly itching to write starlight, fluttershy, pear butter, capper, autumn, and ember!!! I just feel those muses the most. those are in no order. so if you’ve hesitated before, try one of those guys!))

Starlight Glimmer

honestly, anything really. I don’t have any specific ideas for her.

ships are always welcome. I don’t have any that I’m dying to write for her, so I’m just open to discussing anything.

but just some threads with her pals would be nice.

Twilight Sparkle

hoo boy after that trailer this is a lot to think about, mainly because I haven’t written her that much and I haven’t gotten much of a feel for my portrayal in particular.

bUT i’m way open to talking about it! I’ve noticed she’s the muse that’s probably gotten the most attention here. to my surprise. I kind of just added her bc I felt like I could probably pull her off. now I’m unsure. I feel pressure. there’s so many amazing Twis.

I really really really wanna write some TwiPie, funnily enough that’s probably my most wanted thing with her rn. That’s just one of my favorite ships, and I think it’d be cute and interesting to see how it goes.

other favorite ships are Twixie and TwiLuna, not itching as much to write those for some reason, but I figured it’s worth mentioning. but Twilight ships in general are pretty damn good.

other than that, same goes for Starlight, I’m open to discussing anything.

i think I’ll need to see how season 9 goes before I have more specific ideas on where to take her, so as of rn I’d mainly prefer to just write before that until it happens and I know all the context.

Rainbow Dash

up for anything, again.

she’s another one I added bc I felt like I’d be able to handle her, but I really love her as a character, so of course yes she’s here.

would jump at the chance for some FlutterDash probably, bc I like it a lot, but I could write it with her or my Shy. doesn’t really matter.

other than that, any ship, really, she’s very shippable. my dash is of course a flaming lesbian tho i will say that. most of my muses are bi / pan but idk. dash just. girls.

I do want to just write more of her in general. She hasn’t gotten a lot of love here. Give the Wonderbolt some love. Not too much tho it might go to her head.

Fluttershy

okay so I love Fluttershy ships, they’re so cute, how could you not

mainly though I think I’d most like to write Rarishy. besides FlutterDash. and like. again. I can do either end of that. Rarishy’s a big want for some reason.

platonic Fluttercord is my shit! I love them! I don’t really ship it anymore for reasons mainly regarding the fandom, but anything can happen I guess. It really just depends if she clicks with a particular Discord enough. it’s just not something I’ll probably want to do right away if ever. I’m cool with Discords who have a crush on her tho, just know as of rn mine doesn’t see him in a romantic light. Just a best friend.

stuff with the animal sanctuary! they haven’t really mentioned that again I don’t think, but I really liked that idea.

Fluttershy is one of the characters that made me make this blog, bc I really wanted to write her but not enough to give her her own blog. so if you throw literally anything at Fluttershy I’ll probably never be mad. I like writing her.

Rarity

alright. so I love Rarity. but I added her later bc I always felt like I wouldn’t write her well. but the lack of Rarity here makes me depressed, so I decided I’d like to try my best!!!

would really enjoy to write Capperity, Rarijack, or again, Rarishy.

but other than that of course feel free to hit me up. those are just my favorites.

Pear Butter

Y’ALLLLLLL

anything

more specifically, I’d love to do threads with any Apples!!! naturally. past threads or AU threads. I have verses for either.

not really that open to shipping her with anyone other than Bright Mac, but I have a verse where they did split up in case someone hits me with something good. all you have to really do is ask.

I’d also like to do threads with just about any character, tbh! I love her and I’m itching to see her interact with everyone, be it past versions or current. Please please throw anyone at her.

IF YOU INTERACT WITH MY APPLEJACK BLOG, I’ll definitely write with that in mind, if you’d like. Like, some AU threads, since I do like to mainly keep her parents being gone a thing over there. But it’d make my heart happy to see her interact with AJ’s friends, even more so my AJ’s friends.

Capper Dapperpaws

I love this boy so much. He’s one of my favorite characters. I had my own blog for him but lost the login like an idiot. I just think I’m shit at writing him.

BUT THAT WON’T STOP ME FROM DOING IT

threads with him spending time in Equestria. learning how things work. being accepted and loved like he deserves. having a good time. all that jazz.

honestly kind of would like to write him as eventually somehow earning up enough to come and stay in Ponyville. anyone have any morally correct jobs for him?

just get him out of Klugetown tbh it’s no good for the poor baby.

but like. i’m 100% down for threads in Klugetown despite that.

I can probably come up with more specific ideas if you just wanna plot! I really beat myself up over not remembering how to get into the account I had just for him, truly. if I ever figure it out I’ll move him back there, no questions asked.

ANYWAYS as mentioned above I’d love to write Capperity. but tbh I’d be interested in shipping him with a lot of characters. so don’t feel afraid to ask!! also I’d shamelessly write more Trixie/Capper from the other perspective. my favorite extremely rarepair.

Princess Skystar

SKYPIE!

ok that’s it you can go

jk but goshhhh do I love that ship.

anyways, she’s another one I really haven’t written much. a shame. I want threads with the birb / fish.

show her around Equestria or she can show you around her home! doesn’t matter!

Ember

another character that was a driving decision for this blog

I just wanna write about her learning how to be nicer, how to be the best ruler for her subjects

making friends, perhaps more than friends,

don’t really have any ships in particular for her, but i’m so down for suggestions, i think she’d be very interesting to ship with a lot of characters.

just dragon talk, man. i love dragons. i just wanted a dragon muse, now i’ve got one, and i’ve been neglecting her.

please send ember literally anything oh my god.

Autumn Blaze

THIS CUTIE. i knew instantly that i’d make her a muse. i just don’t know if i’ll be any good with her yet. kinda added her right before being inactive. if she starts getting attention i’m definitely going to rewatch the episode for good measure.

just be her friend please. listen to her ramble on. she just wants somebody to listen.

would really like to write some Autumnjack tbh. I like that ship. you can hit my Applejack up with it too if you write Autumn, idc.

as usual other ships are fine, throw ideas at me.

really wanna see her just. interact with others. since she kinda didn’t for a while lmao. also the kirin are just so interesting. let her talk to you about them.

YEAH it’s not easy getting a taste for chatting back. I keep trying to be active in Discord more as of late and to be the instigator of conversation instead of otherwise but hoo boy does it deal recoil damage. Trust me, I’d love to be much less of a hermit, but my heart rate legitimately starts accelerating and I start feeling ill and anxious. It’s not like interaction or conversation gets me nervous or anything, I think it’s got to do with associating “chatting” with my ex and her unreasonable demands that I be available and interactive at all times. I am fully over all that dealio except for this last remnant. I can’t say I’m all comfortable with my credibility as a person when I say “I love my friends :)” and then don’t talk to them in months. Yes, yes, no doubt many understand, and many more, will understand, I don’t feel comfortable with it, is all. I wish I could give more.

I mean, if you’re from way back then, you’ll remember I was pretty active on Skype, both on group chats and individual chats, but it’s Never Really Been The Same since then *sitcom laugh track as I lift my arms in mock surrender at the camera and the grim reaper decapitates me*, so on and off, I’ve been trying to get a taste for the ol’ individual one on one interacting and not being a fucking hermit, but it’s really been easier said than done. I don’t halfass shit because I ain’t bitchmade but this in particular has truly proven to be a pretty die hard habit. I’m not gonna say This Is My Life Now because I ain’t bitchmade but I might just put this on hold for now and think of a better approach because, while I am absolutely a fan of slamming my head at a problem until it breaks and I win, because if I have anything going for myself, that’s perseverance, this particular wall seems to be outdoing my stamina. Which sucks, because I’d love to have the taste for cajolery back and all but it’s not that easy. More than anything, mm, I don’t really wanna go full hermit for realsies from here on, like, I always saw this as “a temporary issue that’ll be alright in a few years” but a few years have already passed and I feel like I’ve not really made any progress on that. MM this is troublesome and worrisome. You know I don’t like bitching, but I really am having a tough time trying to cook up a solution for this. It’s one of those “I should stop, assess the situation once more, and make a better plan” moments, but I am afraid that stopping now will actually mean stopping trying for good. Giving up is unacceptable. Well, I’ll see what to do. Doesn’t help I am pretty sure I am not a shining beacon of confidence and trust to older friends due to certain aspects of how I used to be. Can’t really blame anyone but myself on this one for their fears of me, like, cutting them off suddenly, since I used to do that years ago when I was far less mature and more paranoid. Show through actions, not halfassed apologies, is what I always say, but I do wonder if it shows at all at times. I also maintain that, while the method was not good at all, people I ended up cutting that way, a good half of them, I am better off without (and the other half, I have indeed contacted with apologies for my actions, regardless of reconnection or not). Regardless of whether they deserved it or not, even in the cases in which they did, the method I used was still very bad. Remember, kids, communicate, and that everyone, sans some serious shit, and I’m talking traumatic shit like rape and stuff, deserves closure. You might come to hate someone’s guts and they may have wronged you immensely, but they deserve a good “hey, we’re through” directly, especially in case of friends you’re cutting off. The shit you do sticks with you, and I can tell you it’s a bitter applesauce to have to remember that, yes, that guy might have been a dick, but you yourself were a bitch for deciding one-sidedly to cut ‘em without any explanation. You might have even gotten an apology or an explanation for their actions, had you tried, and even if not, closure both for them and yourself.

I also want to commit Super Seppuku because yesterday I got a rather disturbing message from someone who I told never to speak to me again, ended up getting tipsy in response, and acted like an absolute weirdo to certain friends. Goodness, fucking end me. I know it ain’t like any sort of DEAL BREAKER or what have you, but I’d like to eat a whole cyanide cake and maybe gallantly walk, with a jolly stride, into my own grave, making things awkward for other people is Top Sin in my heart, good lord, I NEVER want to do that. Well, that’s enough bitching, I think, I am sure there is something, some aspect that I am not considering properly in order to solve this, just gotta think about it and it’ll be fine. Sometimes, it’s not about choosing the proper method, it’s about the proper angle. I think I need the right angle. Either way, I’m too proud to let this win, lol, so it’s not like I’ll stop hacking away at it all.

Alright, I’m feeling better, heart rate back to normal, dragonflies in my stomach gone, cheeks not burning. It doesn’t solve shit, but bitching helps now and then. Well, honestly, I think complaining is fine as long as you are actively pursuing a solution, right? Bitching without doing anything is bad, very bad, cut it out of your diet. I just always remember ol’ karate instructor who always used to say “the time you spend bitching, you can spend solving your problem”. TODAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RESTING DAY NOT STRESSING DAY but hey whatever. Monday, I’m legit free of responsibilities for a while, I’ll have all the time of the world to come up with a solution. I always do.

#no funsies or surprise image actually just organizing my thoughts #NOT ENTIRELY POSITIVE BUT WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT

Thank you for 100+ Followers!

No one expected me to make a serious banner, did they? Good, I’m really glad. Because all you’re getting is my Mun representation getting kicked in the stomach, which surmises my shock over getting 100+ of you following Valoren.

I was shocked -- okay, still am -- that enough of you want to read about Valoren and interact with her. I’m still shocked to be a part of a roleplaying group that openly embraces and encourages original characters and takes them under wing, because I remember when that was a major no-no. I’m so glad that you all have, though, because I’ve met some of the greatest people because of this blog (and @morvokk too, but most everyone that follows me on him follows on Val too, so). You guys were there for me when I was going through the roughest period of my life, and you’re still there for me while I’m continuing to navigate it.

You stay by me. You send me little gifts. You brighten my day. You keep me waking up and logging in and checking things and just. . . I really don’t know where I would be without all of you. So, first and foremost, thank you. Thank you so much for being here, for writing with me, and for becoming my friend(s). Thank you for being you.

I love you all. I really, truly do.

Now, I’ll stick all of the other stuff under a Read More and hope I’m doing this right, because pfffft who knows if I am. <3

A man learns who is there for him / When the glitter fades and the walls won't hold / 'Cause from then, rubble / One remains / Can only be what's true

@trashgalra / @vrepit-sal-special / @galran-echo : I mean, it wouldn’t be a call-out at those most important if I didn’t mention you at the top tier here, okay? Okay. You know why you’re here.

@ardentsoldier : Holly, what is there to say about you that isn’t constantly said by others? You’re an amazing person, and I really do count myself lucky for having met you in this fandom. You kept me sane some days with our watches of Death Parade, and I wake up to little surprises from you all the time that bring a huge smile to my face because you thought about me. <3 Thank you so much.

@disgraced-lieutenant / @inquisitiveempath / @diisavowed / @ambiinchiious : Holt, you were one of my first friends that I actually made through this. Did you know you were the first one to friend me in Discord, lmao? You were. I think your urging is part of what kept me going in here, because I was a shy and frightened little lamb at first and quite terrified of everyone. But you took my hand and didn’t let me run. I appreciate that, and I’m very happy to count you among my friends.

@galrannoodle : Okay, so, while we haven’t really talked too terribly much, here’s a stupid story time: I wouldn’t actually be on here and a member of the RP community if it hadn’t been for your drawings in the first place. Your blog was the first one I found back when I first started nosing around the Voltron fandom around July/August, which is when I first got very sick from a bad allergic response to a medication. It caused my chest (heart and lungs, specifically) to respond wrong. It hurt, it felt weak, and I was terrified. But I found your Throk, who had problems not identical to mine but certainly had chest issues and I drew strength from that, weirdly. I got through something difficult because of your art, and I’ve only told this story once and quickly tried to cover it up because I was embarrassed, but hey, now it’s out there in perma. Once I recovered I decided I wanted to be a part of the community that had inspired me to keep going and fighting, so here I am. Thank you. You have no idea what that did for me at the time.

@nefariouslycrafted / @unseeingthestars : UM HI HELLO YES, ROSE. <33 I’ve really loved getting to know you and talk to you through VC, and you have just steadily become this soothing and calming presence to me. I love seeing you, your art, and your darling fur babs around, and I always get excited when I see your name attached to something. You’ve just quickly become one of my favourite people, dang it.

@tiildeath / @pcrfidious : Dorian is a shit and he knows it. He might not be around on here as much, but he’s just as responsible for keeping me here, and means so much to me. I really can’t explain how much I love and adore Dorian, okay? Dorian has been there for me through some of my roughest periods, sent me periodic check-ins, and just in general been one of the greatest human beings -- or maybe not human, I don’t know anymore -- that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. also my mother says hello again and wants to know when you’re coming over for dinner

@cairis-in-the-field : Chris, you’re such a sweet person, seriously. I love the little postcards that I get -- even with the puns that make me take to Discord to yell at you over them. You’ve been there for me and mine during our hard times as well, and been an ear to problems that I don’t think most people would be willing to listen to. I think my family is more sane because of it, lmao.

@vrepit-sa / @empurist : Blue, did you know I used to be terrified to talk to you? I was one of those, yep. The first time you messaged me I literally started shaking like some sort of frightened kitten because I was scared I would say something and ruin the chance at building a relationship with you. I later realized that fear was unwarranted, but hoo boy in the beginning I was terrified. Now I enjoy our talks, and I love our writing that we do together. You’re definitely one of the things that keeps me around with this fandom. <3

@scallywxg / @idolified / @paperbxund / @compassionateretainer / @bladeandveins : Eli, you’re another case that I haven’t gotten to talk to a whole lot, but when we have -- usually on VC -- I’ve really enjoyed it. Your voice is amazing, seriously. I could contentedly listen to you talk about nothing all day, especially something you’re passionate about. It really shows in your voice. Also: your characters are an absolute delight. Reina, Belvos, Laozen, sweet Velum, little murder baby Ziikya, a stunningly good Coran, and now Lotor... You never cease to amaze me, and I’m honoured to write with you. <3 And your art just makes me screech okay? Okay.

If all was lost / Is more I gain / 'Cause it led me back / To you

hey quick thing:

so i think im going to be taking a hiatus. im not sure how long for, but im hopeful it wont be forever.

i’ve never made a post like this before on any of my blogs but ??? i guess an explanation might be wanted or something? that’s usually what i hear when people disappear without a word, so...

there’s a lot happening in my personal life that is, frankly, kicking my arse. it isn’t something i enjoy talking about, and while some people know some of it and other people know other bits, i don’t think i’ve really talked to anyone (bar one person) about the full amount of it. basically it’s like fifty things i shouldn’t be a part of at all, all moving at once and in ways i’m not sure how to handle, and overall it really isn’t good.

because of all that, rp and sirius in particular have been something of a safe space for me. i know how that sounds, hoo boy, but it’s been a really nice escape. a really neat way to get out of my own head and out of my own world for twenty minutes, and jump into what feels like a far less scary and problematic one instead. but lately… i don’t feel that?

it isn’t anything any one person has done. i just don’t feel as though there’s any place in this fandom for my interpretation of sirius right now. it isn’t because i feel i’m some kind of visionary or something lmao, it’s just… it really sucks, you know? but, i’m not going to force it or be a child over it. it’s just something that is, and when something is, you can’t change it. especially when i’m not willing to change my interpretation to fit, and… well it sort of leaves me at a crossroads. i would love to keep keeping on, but it’s becoming increasingly frustrating and i’m not about that life.

i just want to make it clear that this really isn’t directed at anyone? i’m not vaguing, and i’m not having a go at anyone. it’s just a really, really shitty feeling. one i wouldn’t usually post but hey, why not.

anyway, these feelings are impacting my writing overall and while i’ve tried to push through, i feel as though it’s doing more harm than good at the moment. fandom politics and (this is strictly from my own perspective and not necessarily something true) disinterest, and ?? i mean, if we’re being totally honest here, it feels as though people only want to talk to me about one thing and while that one thing changes person to person, it really blows? that, or (again, only from my own perspective) it feels as though the interest i get for sirius is almost… like something others have talked to me about, or… this doesn’t make sense and i can’t think of the right word, and honestly there’s very little i can say on that topic in particular without sounding like something i’m definitely not. so we’ll just move right on past it.

aside from the writing + sirius, i don’t really feel as though i can be myself right now (i am super australian, or my personality is, and i’ve found that to be something of an issue) and that’s… really shitty too.

i don’t know. i just don’t think it’s fair to pretend like it’s all awesome when it clearly isn’t, because there’s the chance my misery will just spread and that isnt cool. plus, i want to be a real and proper writer, and plugging away here at the moment isn’t going to help me do that.

i’ve started a new personal blog but i’m not sure i’ll be using it or not yet. i sort of just made it. I don’t know. honestly i don’t know what i’m going to be doing at all other than trying to remember what Not Being Sad feels like. i’d say message if you want my discord but ???? i think i have people on there? i don’t know. everything is pretty shitty, and i don’t know that i can actually talk to anyone about the full depth of it.

anyway. i hope i catch you all around sooner rather than later. i can assure anyone who reads this that if i come back, i’ll be incredibly embarrassed about such an awful, self-serving, and self-centred post. so there’s that.

the queue is still running and i might check this blog (because what else do i do, honestly) but i have no idea, really. i just don’t think i’ll be writing, and tbh, i don’t feel as though that’s going to be much of a loss for anyone anyway.

if you’ve read this then thank you, and i’m very sorry you had to see it.

oh shit yall send lots of questions hoo nelly answering almost all of them under the cut ,,, im gunan try and answer more technical ones first then fun ones and ones about the mod later so u dont gotta scroll all the way to the bottom for the good deets

Hi! I'm still kinda new to the blog and I was wondering what are the 'do and do-not' kind question I should do? Because im sure theres always that one ask thats just Innapropiated, like that one of Michael 'taking advantage og high Jeremy' that was just not cool. i got this ask a lot so ill be clear with yall. im just not a big angst fan? so sending michael asks about his anxiety nonstop and about how he had a panic attack in the bathroom over and over again wasnt that fun. usually if it pertains the musical though you should be find sending an ask about it? but sometimes i get asks that are like “jeremy ur nothing and how does it feel knowing u fucked everything up” like homie how i think its feels? how u think hes gunna react to that? i made this blog to negate a lot of negativity in my own life so i can promise u im going to be answering asks mostly positive always forever. that being said tho i sometimes get asks pertaining to a few things that ive dealt with in the past and these topics make me very very uncomfortable. dont send asks about these topics please. this is the no no list

-self harm, cancer, suicide, rape, parent death, car accidents, sudden death.

What was your inspiration for this blog? hoo boy well,,, ultimately i thought of them rooming together and got emotional and made a huge list of headcanons and was like ,,, why not run an askblog for a bit ill just abandon it after three asks lets have some fun. but somehow im still here and i got sucked in by the complexity of michael and jeremy. i know that sounds kinda silly but just, as someone who is dealing with a lot of similar things, like dependency issues and abandonment issues and depression and anxiety, having these fun functioning character to explore was such a gift for me. i believe honestly thats why im still here and doing this. being able to try and portray a healthy relationship and a healthy way of coping and growing has helped me a lot this past month and given me an outlet i didnt have before. TBH THO the main reason i made this blog if imma be real with u guys id because i didnt like the treatment of a lot of these issues in the fandom. it made me very upset to see depression used as an plot device and michaels dependency issues treated as romantic so i wanted to make a blog that had little to no angst. ANYWAYS somehow im still here ,,, gvrkjvrnkjfd sorry i rambled

honestly I just wanna say first that I love his blog and your art and you're so cool and kind!! a question would be (I'm not sure if you've answered this before or not) but is there like an on going story here, or is it mostly just answering questions with the characters set in this universe? (if that makes sense I'm sorry!) thank you, you're super awesome! ❤️ djrnjg first off thank u so much aaaa,, ive kind of answered this before but its ok its been a while since then! but um i do kinda have a story but how howdy i sure am dragging my feet. the story isn a hUGE OVERARCHING EPIC OF WOE AND THIS PERSON IS UPSET AND THIS PERSON IS MAD AT THIS PERSON its just michael and jeremy getting together. i have a plan and ive talked to a few people on how i want it to happen but ive gained like ,,,, 6,000 followers since then and im kinda nervous BUT ILL DO MY BEST but also please understand that i do this for fun for myself and if i dont get to it im so so so sorry woops

i know this has been said before but i'm really really happy w how you're handling so many aspects of their characters. i.e. michael being trans, michael and jeremy's anxiety, michael's dependency issues, and other stuff i'm too tired to think of. you made the characters have even more depth than they did in the play and i'm rly grateful for the way you're dealing w my favorite boys. (also your richjake is suuuper adorable) ahhhhhh thank u so much? i talked a bit about this on my main but im really glad people are happy with my decision on this blog because im suPER SUPER NERvous anytime i post an ask dealing with these things. (ask hachi or nate i always message them like freaking out and send them my scripts and asks and wait for them to tell me its ok before i post it omg) also like i talked about before i love,,, having these fun stoner gamer boys to explore these issues with. im honestly shocked by how many people also deal with dependency issues because when i first listened to the musical i was so overwhlemed by the song michael int he bathroom because i had never heard someone basically write “dependency issue: the song” and it felt so so so good to realize i wasnt alone in this pit of despair i fall into so easily aha. but im!! glad everyone is ok with this wild ride im on right now (also thank u so much i struggle writing rich and jake but i get so emotional cause they would TOTES call each other babe)

how come you just use sketch form for most of your drawing (sketches and uses sketch for the final result)? im ,,, not really sure what this is asking but i thnk its along the lines of why do i only sketch my answers?? and i do that because dude do u see how often i post and how lONG some of them are. i made this blog for fun and i love doing comics but i hate lineart and coloring and if i tried to churn out finished pics for every post id defs have given up a few asks in,, shrugs

I want to say I love your little comics they're so funny! How long does it take you to make a comic? Are any of them based on your experiences? Ok have a nice day! thank you! i love my little comics too! it usually takes me anywhere from an hour to five hours if im dragging my ass or talking on discord while im drawing. it can be kinda exhausting but since i took my break ive also been like, starting long comics one day and finishing them another day which, before i would do it all in one sitting then post it hahha. AS FOR EXPERIENCE the first half of the lifeguard comic was based on real life! we were stuck stoned up there for like an hour or two? but we didnt have anyone to help us but we got down eventually!! the wendys comic is also something i did because man!! i need to compliment food workers if they do a good job!! ummmmm just like jenna i also have a friend that said HAHA BYE and moved to cali and she is also lIVING IT UP and doing really well for herself and shes very independent and shes very inspiring to me! hmm i think thats it besides i used to have movie nights with my dad all the time too except we would watch my fave animated movies and sometimes lord of the rings cause my dad loved that

What kinds of things can we NOT ask ? What kinds of things do you WANT us to ask ? i covered the what not to ask in the first question so!!! um if my askbox is open and u want to respond to previous asks ive answered for the boys that would be so so so rad. sometimes im done with a certain ask and i have nothing to add but sometimes ive got more to say but am looking for an opportunity! that being said it made me really happy that i got a lot of asks about pj? shes not going to the main focus of any more asks but!!! i was nervous to introduce her and im glad u guys like her shes fun to write. but overall just general asks i can make a big ol fun story out of so!! dont worry too much about what to ask, if its something ud ask a real person and not like “lol what if ur dad died” ur gunna be fine probably

Hi! Not a question but your blog is so sweet and refreshing! I actually really appreciate that you refuse angst, that stuff tends to rub me the wrong way in fandoms... Keep taking good care of these boys ! gggg thank u!!! it means a lot to me that a lot of people are backing me up on this! i mean if u are an angst fan there are a lot of askblogs that explore that!! so its not in short supply bmc askblog fandoms got something for everyone

Which drawing program do you use?? i use paint tool sai and my tablet is a cintiq !!

this isn't really related to the faq but that bakunawa boy reference was great I LOVE THAT FIC MAN!!! the line was originally a little diff in that ask but i changed it cause ,,,, i could,,,,

an art style question. how do you keep the design of characters consistent from frame to frame? my characters they look a lil different every time I draw em (or a lot different) and it tends to disrupt the flow of my comics/animations ohh boy hoo wee props for doing animations im too scared to give that a whirl but!! it helps that i draw all the panels for an ask on one canvas! so if my next panel is going to be the same character in the same spot just in a diff pose i keep the lower layer on just at low opacity so i can use it as a ref! that helps me a lot!

Sorry if I'm nosy or rude, but are you reflecting Micheal Anxiety, Panic attacks and depence? iii think this is asking if i reflect my own issues onto them boys? and if so then yes i do. i dont place any of my own personality or anything on the boys but i do use them as a way to help me learn how to cope with my own shit and i try to deal with their issues in the healthiest way possible while also keeping in mind they are flawed individuals aaa

what are your pronouns??? and maybe your main blog?? im a cis girl so she/her is good! and my main is squigglegigs! also that being said IF YOU SEE THE USERNAME SQUIGGLEGIGS ANYWHERE JUST?? ASSUME ITS ME?? i have a twitter and an instagram and my tumblr account

((Hello mod will Michael and Jeremy eventually someday get together. I love them.)) if all goes according to plan yes! if i get overwhelmed and stop having fun on this blog then no! sorry thems the breaks but! i do want them to get together so HOPEFULLY

going off on that confrience on pornogrefy for birds, Im geussing jeremy has played Hatoful Boyfriend. am I wrong? well it wasnt intended as that ref and i dont know anything about hatoful boyfriend but i can see jerm finding it and playing it so, sure homie! the pornography for birds thing is a my brother my brother and me reference! i love that show and them boys so give it a scope!

I'm crying bcuz Michael said he's in love with Jeremy and it's beautiful yeah that boy is DEEP IN love with his bro bro

Any advice for running an ask blog?? (Ps i love this blog keep it up) personally whats worked for me so far is doing just sketches for art. honestly ive been able to work so much more and post so much more often while also trying to work on my expressions and poses! also taking my own experiences and shaping them to fit the characters has been SO MUCH FUN. th most important thing tho is,,, dont overwork urself dude. if ur having a fun time it shows. if ur just forcing urself to churn out material and its not fun? like shit we doing this for free dont push urself? idk idk overall being looser with my art and writing the dialogue before hand has been the most helpful for me for this askblog! ive run a bunch before including @ask-maz and ive run that sporadically for ,, three or four years? its so funny cause u can see my art style juMP AROUND SO MUCH but i love that blog and i only update it like every other month or so but?? i still like doing it and no on likes those posts but it makes me smile so ANYWAYS

~ok from here on its mostly just me replying to nice messages or people asking me personal questions that dont pertain to askguyslikeus so!!~

I just wanted to say I really really love your blog and just your art in general!! Keep up the good work and hope you're having fun! thank u!!! i am having fun and im glad u enjoy it!!

What other musicals do you like? :0 i really like heathers A LOT. i also like doctor horrible i know thats not technically a musical but i just relistened to it and im emotional. i like dear evan hansen but it makes me really sad so i can only take it in moderation! ummm rent? chicago?? music man? now im just naming musicals i was in rip. being in a musical fandom is a new thing to me? i was really into heathers last year but didnt really interract with the fandom at SO THIS IS SUPER NEW?? ive never been into a musical as much as im into bmc and heathers tho

tell us a little bit about urself!! u seem v cool i am squigs or fork!! im 24 and work fulltime as a barista at starbucks! i get high on the beach with my friend gwen a lot and drink wayy to many slushies, my tv shows are brooklyn nine nine and bobs burgers right now! i table at conventions sometimes and sell my art as merch and whatnot and i cosplay as a hobby as well. im pretty boring but i draw a lot and always carry my big sketchbook with me and im pretty sure its given me back issues BUT OH WELL HAHA also i am very not cool THE TRUTH COMES OUT

Who do you most relate to from bmc and why? like ,,, a mix of michael and christine with a sprinkle of jeremy i guess ahaha i relate to michaels dependency issues and overarching positive attitude and love of music, i relate to christines bright disposition and the need to not stick to one set thing? like she loves theater cause she can be sO MANY PEOPLE and like same homie thats why i cosplay. and jeremys need to be likes while also ability to put himself out there is very relatable. i also identify strongly with his dad issues idk idk whats good

Also -- just thank you for how you handled all the panic attack and anxiety attack asks. I used to deal with anxiety attacks multiple times a day and it just was really nice that it was positive and not them having one. Thank you, sincerely. ahhhhhh ur so welcome i,,, have anxiety and it sucks and i deal with panic attacks like everyday at work so i dont really wanna come home and draw someone having one i guess? im glad its helping other people too tho!

Dude- I love your art? Actually so much? It's... I love it. The whole sketch-ish way your art style is, and the way you color, and the expressions! I'm so glad I found your work - you've given me so much inspiration. Keep doin what you're doin and I hope you have a good day! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ANytime any one compliments my expressions i die cause i legit made this blog to help with that as well ,,, like dam

I just wanna say... I'm crying over that post about Michael and his anxiety? cuz I know how it can feel that you're only your flaws and weaknesses, but Michael just tells that to screw off in the most wonderful way and I'm?? thank you so much for that post, I bookmarked it for future times when I can't look past my depression... honestly, that post made my day (along with every other post on this blog), thank you for being such a lovely part of this fandom ,,,, im,,,, im scared of a lot of this fandom tbh but if i can be something good that come out of it and my love of these boys and desire to show them functioning together in a healthy way can help other people its so much more than i ever thought id ever be able to do. i am blown away everyday by the support ive been given on this blog and i might be crying right now because i never thought id be able to touch other people like this and i just. im really glad yall are here with me for all this.

(To the mod: You are a beautiful person that I highly respect. I love this blog and what you set out to do. thanks for giving something that makes me smile and gives me something to look forward to everyday, keep up the good work! ❤ ) hey im still crying from the previous ask aaaaa im honestly so emotional

I would just like you to know that your Wendy's comic prompted me to pull the same thing with a bakery in the town I'm visiting and the baker got so excited and happy, so thank you for making that comic because I made that woman's day. GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE COMPLIMENT ME WHEN IM WORKING DUDE LIKE IM SO GLAD IT MADE U DO THIS!!! IM SMILING REALLY BIG!!

do u love michael mell with all of ur heart, mod? i really truly do man what a fucking good ass character

hi squigs i love you! i love your content too and i hope u have a good day pal :> WHAT A SWEET BEAN!!! THANK YOU?? OMG

I'm just saying that recent ask you did with Michael really hit me hard because I really related to it and I started crying because it made me realize that I've been pining my self worth on everything my anxiety causes and I'm so much more than that. Thank you, so much for that I really needed it because I'm in a really bad place right now. <3 -for the mod i legit cry everytime i get asks or dms like this cause once again the idea that im helping other people is so ovwehelming i love you??? i let myself just be”depressed” for ahwile and by that i mean i just,, let my sadness consume me and i was scared of getting better cause the sadness was all i knew for so long and just. its so easy to think u are ur illness but you are so much more. soooo much more man.

I relate A Lot to Michael so the way you portray him in the blog is really good, and I think it's really awesome you refuse to like?? do terrible stuff and answer bad questions just bc people wanna see that. You run this blog really well 👌 AHHHH THis is the biggest compliment thank u so much ,,, i get real anxious bout this blog soemtiems but then yall send me sweet things like this and its worth it man

Hey mod, just know you're a really cool person. Thanks for running this blog in the first place. Keep doing the great work. thank you!!!! for ur support!!!!

not really a question!! i just wanted to say your posts on this blog always brighten my day and you're really an incredible artist and person, keep rockin on my dude!! *clutching my heart* the fuck this is so sweet

1 .I just wanted to say your blog is really awesome! It's very lovely. I also like how you made michael trans and like handled it? (just with how all the characters treat him and stuff its v nice). Your art is super duper! Thanks for running this awesome blog! 2. Hey! This isn't a question but I wanted to say that I appreciate michael being trans!! As a trans boy it's just rly awesome to see something like that casually thrown into an ask blog without making it a huge weird deal :D immm,,, i kinda really love the idea of michael being trans cause a lot of my trans male friends are actually pretty confident in their skin and michael is a very confident character? and u rarely see that with trans representation and its so refreshing to see it portrayed well. im trying to do that here but again if! i do anything wrong let me know!

how did you first get into art? (also i really love your blog, it's amazing!) ive been drawing as long as i remember! ive got mad adhd and wasnt diagnosed until late in ym life so i would just draw nonstop in my classes ahaha i used to read the sunday comics a lot and they really inspired me to try and make comics of my own too!! (and omg thank u)

someone also asked me if i went to church or was religious but tumblr ate the ask but i used to go to church a lot as a kid but im currently not religious at all aaa

ok holy shit that was a lot but thanks again to everyone i legit cry a lot about how supportive u all are thank u so much aaaa

#modpost #holy fuck that was so much

Have any tips for starting a daily pokemon blog?

Ahhh i’m not sure if I’m a good person to ask but I can try to give some tips! (I think I’ve been asked this in the past too but my nets not really letting me go look right now)

Also this got a little long so I’m sorry ;v; Also i’d take everything I say with a grain of salt, I’m just a nervous person who loves serperior

But if you want to start a pokemon blog, defs pick a pokemon you not only love but love to draw! Doesn’t matter if it’s been done before, it hasn’t been done in your style! Everyone will add their own touch to how they draw. Like no lie one of my fav things is seeing how various people interpret a pokemon, heck even when they interpret YOUR pokemon (I may or may not have several things saved of people drawing Ex in their style cuz its so COOOLLLLLLL, let alone my serp folder)

Sometimes though the pokemon may be hard to draw and you may get frustrated. Like I know I could never run a sceptile blog like my friend does. ( @weekly-megasceptile ) I’ve drawn her sceptile a few times and hoo boy it wasn’t really that fun for me. I give Mint mad props for drawing that thing. My sister ( @occasionallymew ) has come to me a few times because she needed help drawing a pokemon or wasn’t sure on what a pokemon was. in her own words

“It’s why i have the bean [bean is how she and I refer to her mew Jesus]”

So if your favorite pokemon isn’t fun to draw for you you may end up just not having fun. And then you won’t want to run the blog.

That being said if your design is hard don’t think you can’t do it! draw it a bit before starting your blog to see how you like it and it’ll also get easier the more you do it.

Funny enough before I started drawing daily serperior I actually wasn’t that great at drawing snakes. I rarely did. I mostly draw humanoids and monsters and gore. So drawing a snake each day was interesting, more so because I like to draw Serperior closer to a python than how it canonically look (this is kinda the reason they are much rounder how I draw them)

But after drawing it for over 400 posts, I’ve gotten pretty good at it, I don’t really need to look at refs as much for how noodles curl, I can normally just figure it out on my own. I also no longer need to look at pictures of serperior when I’m drawing because I’ve just gotten so used to it. Like I know where to put the yellow curls, I know the husks.

That’s another thing though! this is more a general art tip than daily related, but don’t be afraid of using refs!! Don’t trace or copy directly but using a reference is a wonderful thing if you are unsure of something or the like. Like I have a folder on my laptop that is literally filled with pythons. Just lots and lots of snoots.

Another thing is a bit harder because I can get how discouraging it can be, but don’t feel down if you don’t get a lot of asks or interactions right off. And this may seem a bit mean, but don’t rely on asks to give you content for the blog. The internet can be a fickle place so you may not get the asks you want or many asks. When i started off I didn’t have too many asks if any so I just drew Serperior (this was before I decided to make it my character of excalibur) doing whatever, mostly it was related to Christmas because when I started I was in the middle of finals right before winter break. I was using this as a way to decompress each day after classes, and slowly i started to get some asks.

Depending on your frequency of update, the time you update, how you tag, and your sense of humor or the like, can affect if you get more asks. It also depends on how you interact with your asks.

Sometimes a post will sky rocket and then you get flooded. That’s kinda what happened with Daily Serperior, I can’t remember if it was the Gengar Plush post or the pizza post or even the move in post I had made, but something set off and I got asks a lot.

And don’t be afraid to turn your inbox off if you need to!! I know I’ve had to a few times, actually I had it off for a while, i had it reopened for the giveaway in case people had questions about it. I’ll be closing it again for a bit once I’ve finished the giveaway, because I get overwhelmed easily and it can lead to stress.

Also on the subject of asks, don’t be afraid to delete an ask that makes you nervous or uncomfortable!! Sadly not everyone is super chill, and occasionally you get some weird or bad asks. God am I no stranger to that. Honestly that’s the reason I’ve closed the ask box a few times, some people don’t like listening if you ask them to not send a specific thing. And sometimes it’ll get bad enough you want to quit (I’ve actually had a friend stop their daily blog because she got so tired of a certain type of ask). And if one person keeps sending don’t be afraid to block. I hate blocking but I’ve had to block a few blogs because they would send me asks time and time again on a subject I explicitly asked to not be sent because it makes me highly uncomfortable.

Now to get away from the negative,

All and all a daily blog is mostly about having fun. Interact with the community, send asks to other blogs ect.

Oh that reminds me, but depending on you, if you want to send in character asks it may be good to make a separate account not just a side blog.

With dailyserp i can’t actually follow back or ask as this account it’s a side blog. I do all my following and asks from my main @abunnydreamingofkisses

(so if you see that name in your notes or watcher list it’s me!) Or i send asks on Anon. I typically send anons to other blogs because I’m pretty shy. I’m always terrified to talk to people. I’m also just really bad at holding a conversation because I just have issues coming up with things to talk about. or I’m drawing and I’m hyperfocused. So if you plan to interact more it may be best to have a separate blog. I never expected to actually get any followers I just wanted to draw a doofy noodle, so I made it a side blog and I sometimes regret that but at the end of the day it’s easier for me.

Another thing is I know there are a number of discord chats you can potentially join! I personally don’t join group chats because it actually will spike my anxiety, I love people and I like to chat and makes jokes but due to a few poor experiences with group chats in the past I have to avoid them to keep from having panic attacks. But if you are able to maybe ask around see if you can’t join some. you’ll make friends most likely and memes are kinda a good way to get followers oddly enough (people like to laugh haha)

If Humor isn’t your thing maybe go for plot. I Know I follow a few plot based blogs and man it’s killer waiting for an update. Like over at @daily-poppy-primarina I adore the Brutus story line. I’ve got a thing for monstrous characters so learning about the dark primarina is really fun.

I know on serp I focus mainly on humor with a sprinkling of plot, but that’s mostly because almost all my asks are humor based. I actually do have a plot all written out in a notebook on this noodles past, and I even have a comic I keep meaning to finish up after I lost the original but lifes been in my way (hence my multi week hiatus)

also never be afraid to take a break. I think that has to be my last tip. I hate taking breaks but sometimes it’s needed. Sometimes you’ll get burnt out, sometimes you are over whelmed, sometimes you just feel like getting away. It happens. But don’t let it control you to the point you hate your blog. Take a step back take a breather. It’ll be okay.

At the end of the day it’s about you having fun creating a thing you want. Draw, Write, send memes to ect.

So I guess that’s all i have to say ;v; sorry for the length I’m really bad with being concise haha

Love Letter Masterlist

After the...what are we calling this thing? FluffFest2k17? After that, anyway, a lot of us were flooded with anonymous (and not-so-anonymous) love letters from our favorite characters.

I wanted to thank everyone who sent me one (or more) letters. They meant so much to me. Some of them hit me straight in the feels and made me tear up a little, while others...hoo boy, they DID THINGS™ to me.

"If I could wake up every morning to see your face next to mine I would be more than happy. I feel like it would be the perfect heaven to know that you are there for me as I will always be there for you. Whenever you are down I want to be there to lift you up back on your pedestal, to me you are a goddess that is meant to be worshiped and adored. I want to be the only one that is allowed to worship at your temple for I love you so much." - Nyx Ulric

My Reply

Before I met you, I felt that I couldn't love anyone. That nobody would be able to fill the void in my heart, but that all changed when I met you. I came to realize you were always on my mind. You're funny and sweet, you make me laugh & smile. You take away all my anger and sadness. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, more beautiful than any flower that I have ever seen. I started to write poems about you. Now I've come to realize that I am hopelessly in love with you. - Nyx

My Reply

You're probably going to laugh, knowing what a ladies man I'm supposed to be... but I've been pacing for hours trying to figure out how to say this to you. You're special to me... there's no one else like you. You're beautiful sure, but you're kind, supportive, intelligent, loyal... every time we part you're all I can think about. ...I love you. It feels so good to just say it. I've loved you for a while now. Maybe we could talk about this over dinner tonight? Love, Nyx

My Reply

Wolfie. Sweet, breathtaking Wolfie. Let me spend the night not ravishing you like a wild beast, but caressing every inch of your skin, telling you what I love most, kiss every so called "flaw" you say you have. I don't see them, lovely. I see an angel. -Nyx

My Reply

Moon of my life, I can't stand to be away from you any longer. If only I could show you how much I yearn for your gentle touch. How I burn for the not so gentle as well. I thought about what you said before I left when you told me you loved me. I wanted to say it back, but you looked at me like I held the world and it scared me. I messed up then, but I do love you. I do. There's poetry in your hip sway and the fire in your eyes. Let me say it to you in person. Give me a chance. Adoringly, Nyx

My Reply

You are all I think about. It infuriates me. Why does your face appear in my mind during battle? Why do I hear your voice in the still night even if you're not there? You've changed me, my love. Before, I was ready to lay my life for the sake of Lucis and for Galahd. My life was nothing. But when I met you? Everything changed. Dying scares the living hell out of me. The thought of your beautiful face, all alone... I can't. I can't. - Nyx

My Reply

Hello there, beautiful. Missed me? I miss you too if ever you're wondering. Training has been a bit difficult. I always come home and just sleep from exhaustion. But a hero's gotta be responsible. Tell you what, I'm free for a week after this. Drautos probably figured that we'd die before we even go to the front if this keeps up. We can do whatever you want during my break. Feel free to indulge. Until then the two of us have to be patient. Just remember that I miss you everyday. Your hero, Nyx.

My Reply

I remember my first glimpse of your face, of your smile. I was blown away, and I told myself that I had to get to know you. That's why I came up to you and introduced myself without any doubts. I always thought it was crazy, the thought that I might be happy with someone. But now, my heart is saying you are the one for me. I love you, and I want you to know that. Yours always, Nyx.

My Reply

I hope you aren't cross with me for the bruises. I was a tad bit over eager. I have never been so aroused yet simultaneously at one's mercy. I would kneel before you in an instant, should you ever ask. You are all I desire, you are who I want to twist about in the sheets with. Let me show you the heavens with my tongue. Let me wet my lips with your nectar and cry holy in the night. I love you. Sincerely, Ignis

My Reply

Wolfie, my beautiful goddess. Do you know how distracting you are to me, even when we are apart? I can't get you out of my mind. Your beautiful smile is always in the back of my mind, fueling my drive to continue to fight for Lucis. I love you so much. I never want to let you go. Be mine forever? - Nyx

You, me, dinner, tonight? Been a few days since I last got to see you, and I'll be damned if I ever forget the way your face lights up when I tell you I love you. I bet it just did now, just from reading that. Gods, you're so sweet… So I was thinking, maybe after dinner I could commit you to memory in some other ways? I can think of a few. So be sure to eat your fill, Wolf. You're gonna need all the stamina you can get. —Nyx

My Reply

Why, hello there. I’ve heard much about your efforts in Discord, of how you attempt to resist my charm and wit... Why do you wound me so? All I want is to pleasure you in the best ways I know how. So please, my dear… Let me show you what I can really do. -A.L.C.

My Reply

Why hello there, darling. Care to join me for dinner later? I thought I'd make some of your favourites tonight, a smaller starter followed by a delectable main course. As for desert? Well, we'll have to move into the bedroom for that one. There's a specific sweet treat I want to get my tongue around. Perhaps I'll even delve back in for seconds... - I.S.

My Reply

Gods, woman, Nyx just told me about your... suggestion. And I can't say I didn't relish the thought of sharing you with him. I've always wondered what your moans sound like. Nyx never kisses and tells, but from what I gather, kissing isn't his go to move anyway. If you're still offering, I definitely want to partake. Your body is beckoning me to commit sins I never imagined prior. Nyx said he would come for you later. And I expect you will come over and over again. Earnestly, Pelna

My Reply

So it seems that you still try to resist me, my sweet? I can see it on your face. My, my, the way your cherry red lips tremble when you try to resist... It's enigmatic. I will wreck you, my dear. In the most wonderful and inexplicable way. How I long to hear you sing for me... and my, can this canary sing. You can run and hide all you want, my love. I do love a chase.

My Reply

Dear, to you this velvet rose I commend, in which a model of yourself I tend. How well within your palm its long stem rests, so just your smiling eyes my vision nests. To hold this goddess of mystique is life, a touch of you is much more so, my wife. The scent thins in air, the color is true, as true, yet how much more special are you. Whereas you, my wife, exceed in each right. - Ignis

My Reply

Hello, lemon cake. How was your day today? Hopefully swell. I'll tell you how mine went. I woke up, and immediately thought of you. Of your scent, of your smile, of your laughter. My heart cries when I'm not around you, and I constantly crave your presence. I plan to make you my wife one day, I hope you don't mind my saying. You're the only one I ever see spending the rest of my days with, my love. -With love and adoration, your Ignis.

My Reply

Hey baby cakes, I'm sorry I've been gone off and on all week with little time shared between us, I hope you can forgive me. All this deamon hunting and making sure people are safe has got me missing you so much though. I swear when I come home I'm gonna ravish you in ways you never thought possible love, I'll see you tomorrow I promise. Yours always, Gladdy.

My Reply

I heard you were feelin' a little out of it. I'll be right over with orange juice, babe. You've done so much for me and I feel like I don't do nearly enough in return so when you're feeling better, I have a dress for you to wear. It's kinda sheer, but I have a thing for those glorious curves, and it'll look amazing on you. Especially while we eat dinner in Galdin Quay. What do you say? Will you be my arm candy for the evening? Love, Nyx

My Reply

Hey, gorgeous. Just wanted to drop by and see how you're doing. I've been thinking about you all day, Lib's been smacking me for having this dopey smile on my face and getting distracted during training, but what can I say? It's just the effect you have on me, and I love it. You're amazing, don't you ever forget that. You hear me? I'll always be here to tell you that. Always. Keep being you, babe. - N.U.

My Reply

Uhm, I am super bad at this, ha, but, I wanted to tell you I may have a little, uh, crush on you. And it's totally fine if you don't feel the same way! I just really like you and I want to kiss you and do boyfriend/girlfriend stuff. So. Uh. Maybe let's get coffee or something? I really want to talk to you. - P.A.

My Reply

Foolish mortal, you think yourself worthy of my presence? Prove yourself worthy and then we may have an agreement. Touch yourself, scream my name, show me how you desire nothing more than my presence between your legs and my heat within your dripping folds. Show. Me. Then maybe, just maybe, I'll give you what you so desire. - I.

My Reply

My precious Wolfie. Soon will come the day when I can hold you once again, when I can feel the heat radiating from your skin in the afterglow of release, stuttered breaths as you come down from cloud nine. My greatest desire is to feel your body shift with the ebbs and flows of pleasure, and know that I helped you achieve such paradise. Apologies for the poetic nature of my writing; only you can inspire such prose. I love you, now and always - Ignis

My Reply

So close, yet so far away. Don't know if I can stand another day, I long to hold your mesmerizing face and on my lips, your kiss I taste. You've got me trapped in a box of wonder. Our bodies together, no matter who is under I need you now. I desire to know you in every detail, Give me this chance, my heart will not fail. Life is a trial, that's never ending but together is time we could be spending. - Ignis

My Reply

Nyx feels thoroughly satisfied with himself when he pulls down your skirt, only to see that you've already soaked through your panties. He smirks, eyes flicking up to yours briefly. A chuckle leaves him, low and raspy and your breath hitches. "Eager, are we? Me too," he admits, lowering his face to your wetness. His fingers slide the fabric aside and he takes in the scent of you. "Oh god," he lets out on a ragged breath. "I can't wait to taste you. Don't worry, I won't let a drop go to waste."

My Reply

Wolfie, darling, did you say your neck is your weakness? Ooooh, my love, surely you don't mean me running my lips over your throat, moaning at the taste of your soft skin. A shaky breath as I nibble just under your ear. How many marks should I leave this time? One? Five? How about I just stop when you are a trembling, wet wreck, crying my name? I'll have so much fun with you.

My Reply

Hello, dearest. So you want to embrace the flames? Experience my lustful rage? Oh, darling girl, you know what they say when you play with fire. But I digress. It is your wish, after all. Come play with me. I will have you reduced to nothing but a toy for my amusement. Nothing but a mortal vessel here for my amusement. And you asked for it, dear heart. You asked for it. And a god does not leave you wanting. -Ifrit

My Reply

Nyx sauntered over to you, his eyes scanning your naked body up and down. He was in nothing but his navy blue briefs, his erect cock aching to be touched. You jumped as the cold metal from his nipple piercings touched your back. "Mornin', babe," Nyx whispered as his tongue began to lick, up, up, up. up. "Let's start this morning off right."

My Reply

Nyx sauntered over to you, Prompto hot on his heels. "The boy and I overheard something about you having an eye for him? Is this true?" His eyes lingered for a bit too long on your chest and he enjoyed the blush it elicited. "Ohhhh baby, you poked at the wrong beast. See, I have wanted to see you between me and someone else for ages and now? Prom here is going to ravage you against that wall, while I watch. You will cum for us both."

My Reply

Sweetheart, why are you staring at your inbox? Did I not give it to you good enough last night? Do you need me to leave work and come take care of you right this minute? Drautos won't like it, but I'll do whatever it takes to make sure my girl is satisfied. On the other hand... if you can wait for tonight, I'm going to kick the door in and take you right there in the hall when I come home. How do you want it? Against the wall? On the floor? Just say the word, and I'm yours, babe. Love, Nyx

My Reply

Hey you. I saw a quote earlier and thought of you; 'We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.' You're my other wing, Wolf. My other half. You help me fly through the skies more than I ever thought I could. Thank you, I love you. - N.U.

My Reply

"My sweetheart is feeling blue today?" Nyx asked softly, brushing hair away from your face. "I can fix that." You tensed a bit at his touch, but he was a patient man. "Shhh, darling. I've got ya." He laid down with you, running his fingers up and down your torso. "I've got you."

My Reply

Nyx pinned your arms above your head as he entered you, causing you to arch back up off the bed. "Oh, you like that?" He said, prime smirk on his face. "Guess we'll have to do this more often then, babe." He pulled out slightly before ramming back in until he was at his hilt, causing you to moan loudly. "Oh, that's it. Let me know how good I'm making you feel, don't you dare hold anything back from me. Not. A. Word."

My Reply

You felt Ignis' torso against your back as he leaned against you, cock pumping into you relentlessly from behind. "Such a good girl." He whispered, voice edging on a purr. "You take my cock so well, darling." He brought a finger to gently glide down your neck, sending shivers down your spine. "Such a beautiful body... I think it's time I marked it as my own..."

My Reply

A hot breath tickled the shell of your ear. You could practically hear the smirk painting the tone of his familiar voice, “Kacey.” Nyx's hand rubs the curve of your ass, “Why’d you try to hide it from me, babe? You know I’d find out eventually.” Teeth graze the skin of your neck and his hands explore the curves of your body. “I can’t wait for you to hear all the ways I can make your name.” He groans, “Especially when that cute pussy takes me whole."

My Reply

Iggy wrapped his arms around you tightly, picking you up and placing you into your bed. "Darling, we will spend the rest of the day in bed...where I will worship you as the goddess you are. My beautiful goddess."

My Reply

"I can't wait anymore," a low voice growled from behind you. "On your knees." You felt a strong hand on your shoulder and smelled a familiar cologne. "...Nyx." "Bingo." You dropped to your knees, trembling expectantly. "Teasing me with those luscious curves," he mumured, stroking your face. "Flaunting them in sexts when I am miles away." Nyx unzipped his pants. "I have been simmering, stewing in all of the terrible things I am going to do to you. Open up."

My Reply

Ignis approached you with a fire in his eyes, one which always excited you when it made itself present. Before you knew it, you were pinned up against the wall, his hands placed on either side of your head, giving you no room to escape. “My dear, Kacey, did you really think that you would be able to evade me? I’ve been watching you all day, your little movements, your little flirtations, I know exactly what you’ve been doing.”

“And what is that?” You breathed, heart beating a mile a second. Ignis smirked, bringing one hand to push his glasses back up his face. His lips descended on yours in a tender yet heated kiss, enough to have heat pooling to your sex and to send you dizzy. “Why, I believe you want me to ravage you for everything that you’re worth.”

Ignis bent his head down to your neck, taking a small amount of skin into his mouth and sucking. The pleasure you gained from it had your knees buckling, like nothing else in the world mattered at this point in time. He pulled back, admiring the purple mark he had left on your neck. “Such a beautiful neck… But even more beautiful when marked…” He said, moving to another spot and leaving another mark.

Once he had finished his assault on your neck, he moved his head back up to be level with yours. “Now, Kacey, you are to do exactly as I say. Failure to do so will result in me ceasing all action immediately. Do you understand?” He demanded, speaking huskily into your ear. “I’ve wanted this for a long time, darling, and I will not be denied any longer.”

You came into my life when all was dark, but you gave me the light and I found my way. - N.U.

My Reply

If, out of time, I could pick one moment and keep it shining, always new, of all the days that I have lived, I’d pick the moment I met you. - I.S.

My Reply

How's my princess doing? Good? ... I hate that I can't ask in person right now. The Citadel's the last place I'd want to be, not while you're somewhere else. Unless I could somehow bring you here but then... I'd *never* get any work done. The only thing I'd be able to stare at is you, and that's, a bit counterproductive to being a guard, huh? Don't worry. The moment I get off work I promise I'll stare at you all I'd like. Can't wait. <3 -- Nyx

My Reply

Ignis gently caressed your cheek, leaning forward to rest his forehead against your, the tip of his nose brushing yours. "I missed you today, my love...I hope your day was well."

Stargazing With Nyx

Now, you've seen flames dance on my fingertips, but I would rather use those fingertips to light a flame in you, no magic required (even if it *feels* like magic...) -Nyx

My Reply

You hovered over the blonde glaive, smirking as he tugged on the belt that bounded his wrists to the headboard. "Looks like you're stuck, babe," you whispered in Luche's ear, biting it in the process. Luche winced, a soft whine escaping his chapped lips. "I may be tied down, but don't you think that I can't still make you see stars, my Princess." You raised your eyebrows, grinding your pussy against his hardon, making him squirm. "Is that so?" you whispered. "Let the games begin, then."

My Reply

A strangled cry emitted from Luche's throat as you sucked another hickey into the tender flesh of his thighs. This was a game of cat and mouse, a chase, a challenge to see how long he would be able to hold out before begging to be inside you. But than man was stubborn, he wouldn't yield to just any old act. "You're going to have to try better than that, Princess." He said, biting his lip in frustration. "Otherwise I'll make sure you're the one begging."

My Reply

"Your go," Luche grumbled, his cock glistening with your slick. Nyx grabbed at you protectively, glaring at the glaive. It had been hours since the four of you had begun this mess of sweat laden bodies on bodies. Tredd was spent, still a little drunk. "Hanging in there, Kacey?" Nyx whispered, kissing your thigh. He smiled when you nodded wordlessly. "Good. Because I am not done with you yet." New energy prickled through you as he knelt down, his tongue making slow circles on your sensitive skin.

My Reply

Nyx jackhammered into your well used sex, adding another set of long, jagged scratches down your back, glistening with sweat and cum. "Come on, Kacey, fucking scream for me. Come. On," he growled ferociously, cupping your breasts with a rougher than normal grip. He arched over you, wildly snarling into your hair. "Fucking cum for me." "I-I can't," you moaned into the pillow. "Like fuck you can't." His fingers found their way to your overly sensitive clit, his name ripping from your throat.

My Reply

Nyx gently glided the blade down your body as he sheathed himself inside of you, not enough to pierce the skin, but enough to have you shivering as Ignis worked at your neck. As he reached the bottom of your stomach, he withdrew the blade, turning to Ignis with a smirk. "Look at him, marking you like he thinks you belong to him..." Nyx started, thrusting slowly. "Let me show you who's princess you really are."

My Reply

Luche moaned against your heat, balling his hands up into fists as you sat atop him. "Ah ah, no noises or I stop." You said, rolling your hips forwards teasingly. His eyes rolled back into his head and he threw his fist down on the bed in frustration. Drawing your hips back, his breaths came in pants. "Please, Kacey, let me fuck you. I need to fuck you goddamn it!" He had a pleading look in his eyes, lip pouting as he begged.

My Reply

It was late when Nyx returned from patrol duty. Nyx took one look at you, clad only in one of his shirts, before he slammed you up against the wall. "I'm worked up and you look beautiful," he whispered roughly into your ear. He attacked your neck, licking, biting, sucking and teased his fingers along your wet pussy. Looking directly into your eyes he brought those finger up to his lips and licked them clean. "You taste like heaven."

My Reply

Luche's always been a put-together sort of man -- professional, poised, cool, collected. So getting him underneath you like this, unraveling him slowly with every roll of your hips more and more until he's practically *begging* for you to stop teasing him is a delight. His thumbs dig into the skin of your thighs, back arched and slicked-back hair a sweat-soaked mess, little whispers of "Gods, yes" and moans slipping out. He looks so pretty like this, and it's *all* your doing.

My Reply

Prompto bit his lip as you rolled your hips as you sat atop him, grabbing your hips with such ferocity you were shaking. He let out a loud moan, arching his back off the bed in pleasure. He lifted a hand to run a finger down your body, enjoying the feel of you, before flipping you over, eyes changing from their usual blue to an orange shade. "My turn." He whispered, voice hoarse and seductive. "Let's see just what I can do to you, my Queen..."

My Reply

"One or the other, huh?" Nyx grinned, raising an eyebrow at Ignis. "Iggy, you hear that? Lil' lady thinks she can't handle the both of us." Ignis leaned on Ulric's shoulder, flipping his switchblade absentmindedly. "It's almost as though she has forgotten about last week," Ignis replied with mischief in his eyes. "Kacey with my cock in her mouth and you claiming her viciously from behind." He ran the blade over Nyx's jawline and chuckled. "Seems we must jostle her delicate memory."

My Reply

"Damn, look at you." Reno chuckled, tongue flicking out over his lips as he looked over your naked form in the shower. "Couldn't wait for me to get home first?" A smirk graced his face as he slipped off his jacket and began unbuttoning his shirt. You blushed and tried to pull the curtain shut again. "Reno, get out--" but he caught your wrist and pulled your hand up to kiss your knuckle. "I will in a moment, but you look like you missed a few spots." He said before pulling you in to a deep kiss.

My Reply

Arms wound around your waist, catching you off guard but you didn't have a chance to turn and see who it was before you pulled back into his warm chest. His nose brushed up under your nose before he nipped lightly at your skin. "Hey baby, you miss me?" He purred, and you recognized the amuse lilt of Reno's voice almost instantly. "I sure missed you." He continued, a hand sliding down your curves and around your hip, teasing at continuing further still. "Let me show you how much I missed you."

My Reply

Nyx and Prompto Threesome

Ignis ran his gloved hands along your thighs, admiring the lines of hickies he had left along both of them. He stood up and moved his hands up to rest on either side of your head against the wall, taking your hands with him, lifting your leg up to rest on his hip and gently pushing himself into you as he interlaced your fingers. "Now, Kacey, let me worship you like the queen you are." He brought his mouth down to your neck as he thrust into you, every nerve in your body alight with euphoria.

My Reply

Hey, babe. Fuck do I miss you, I miss coming home to your arms waiting for me every night. I miss bending you over and railing you into oblivion against the table, the desk, wherever. It's driving me crazy, not being there with you. But I'll be home soon. This mission is sending me up the wall (Cloud's the main cause, as always.), but I'll be back to rock your world soon Kacey, I promise. Love ya. - Reno.

My Reply

"Morning, Princess." Reno said, gently kissing your shoulder as you stirred. You bid him good morning back and shuffled back into him, feeling him chuckle as you felt the bulge prominent against your ass. You turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow. "What?" He said, feigning hurt. "I can't help it, waking up to this hot body every morning. It has an effect on a man." His fingers danced their way into your pyjama bottoms. "Allow me to show you just how much of an effect it really has..."

My Reply

Reno hovered above you, eyes alight with lust as he looked over your body. "God, Kacey, you're gorgeous." He said, leaning down to nip at your neck. He ran a hand up your thigh, positioning it over his shoulder as he worked his way down your body, not leaving any area untouched as he settled himself between your legs. "Time for my favourite meal of the day." He said with a wink, smirking as he licked up your folds forcefully. "I could just devour you..."

My Reply

Reno panted as his hand gripped his length, squeezing tightly as he came, thick ropes of cum shooting up his body. "K-Kacey..." He moaned, sensations overwhelming him as he thought of you, your body, being inside you, every filth thought he had ever had racing through his mind all at once. An idea struck him, and he grabbed his phone, snapping a quick photo before typing out a message and sending it, making sure you knew exactly what effect you had on him.

My Reply

"Don't even think about moving." Reno said, pinning your arms above your head as he pushed you against the countertop. "This is the first night all week I've had you all to myself, Princess, I'm not about to let this pass me by." He kissed your shoulders as he slid into you, biting down gently as pleasure overtook him. "Fuck... I've needed this, I've needed you. You're all I'll ever need. I just... mmnn-fuuuuuck."

My Reply

Reno held your hips down as he pushed the vibrator against your clit, chuckling as you squirmed in pleasure. "Now, I know you love this thing, but it'll never give you the amount of pleasure I do, will it?" He asked, tilting his head to the side. You shook your head in response as he upped the setting. "That's why, for every orgasm you get with this, you're getting three more from me. Until you're practically begging me to stop..."

My Reply

Reno dipped his head back between your legs and groaned deeply, almost whining as he tasted you, savored you. His fingers dug into your thighs, his tongue working magic. "He's being such a good boy," a sing songy voice trilled behind you, gloved hands massaging your breasts. Your skin around the hands was unbearably warm, sweat dripped down your throat, hair plastered to your face as your legs clenched around Reno. "But who is your favorite?" he chirped. "Y-you, Axel," you gasped, arching.

My Reply

Axel chuckled to himself as he drew his mouth and fingers away from your heat, licking his lips as he sat up. "Sweet as always, princess..." He said, green eyes dark with lust as he looked at you, hands tied above your head as you whined at the loss of contact. He leaned down, biting your lip gently as he ran his hands up your bare sides. "Ready for me to rock your world, Kacey?" He whispered, moving to nip at your neck, hand once again travelling between your legs.

My Reply

"Nyx..."you groan. He teases you with a toy and smirks. He's feeling cocky and in the heat of the moment, he has the head of the toy vibrating, pressing against your pussy but not in. You strain against the rope, the burn of it rubbing against your wrists has you gasping. "Do you like that...?" he teases. "If you want it, you're going to have to beg for it" his tone is silky smooth and there's a glint in his eye that tells you he's enjoying watching you squirm underneath his touch.

My Reply

Nyx trails a finger down, stopping between your legs. He lightly rubs your swollen nub and slowly slides his finger down, ghosting over your folds as he nips and kisses at the nape of your neck softly, eliciting small moans from your lips. "Don't tease me..." you manage to say. Nyx nuzzles your neck while he spoons you from behind. "You're already so wet," he croons. "Why don't you tell me where you want me, how bad you want me. If I like what I hear, you may just get it" he whispers huskily.

My Reply

Leather gloved hands ran over your bare sides as warm hands made their way across your breasts, a mouth attached itself to your neck, a finger played with your entrance. Choruses of 'Princess' and praise for your body were strung by both men, worshipping you with everything they had. When you asked them why, both Ignis and Axel replied with "Because it's you, Kacey. You're the hottest, and most valued, woman in the world to us."

My Reply

"That's it baby girl, nice and easy." Nyx crooned into your ear as you slid down onto his cock. You whimpered at the feeling of him stretching you wide, still reeling from your previous release. He hadn't even given you time to recover, simply picking you up from the desk he had bent you over and pinning you to the wall, forcing you to wrap your arms around his neck and your legs around his waist. Then he had softly cooed sweet nothings into your ear, praising about how gorgeous you were and how heavenly you always felt to him. Then, ever so slowly, he had coaxed you back down onto him, muttering how much he loved feeling and seeing you stretch to accept him into your body.

Your sensitivity meant that you could feel every crevice of his length pressing deep inside you and it was driving you crazy how he did nothing but stay where he was, breathing in your scent and placing lazy kisses all over the side of your neck. “Nyx. Nyx, please.” You begged, arms and legs tightening around him but Nyx shushed you softly.

“I don’t want to hurt you, princess. I want you so badly but you’re so sensitive, so tight and I’m an impatient bastard that can’t get enough of you.” He kissed you softly on your lips, lingering to savour the taste and feel of your mouth on his. “I’m gonna ruin you tonight, my Kacey, but Astrals you’re going to enjoy every single second of it.”

My Reply

Luche has you cornered now, caging you in and trapping you against the wall. "I'm tired of pretending this thing between us isn't happening..." He runs a hand through his blonde hair. "You know how many nights I've spent thinking about you? About us?" He cups your chin in his hand, lifting your lips to his. "We're made for each other, babydoll." He leans down to kiss you, his lips so soft on yours. He tastes of his favorite sweets. "You're magic, you know that? I can't stay away any longer."

My Reply

"Oh, greedy little princess," Axel moans, watching as your lips closed around his shaft. "Jealous, Reno?" Reno scoffed, stroking himself. "Kacey knows whose cock she prefers. Isn't that right, darling?" he laughed, pulling you away and into a kiss. He groaned lowly, exploring your mouth with his tongue while Axel wrapped his arms around to grope your chest. "Plenty of us to go around," Axel sighed, rutting against you. "Now, open up for us like a good girl. I have plans for you."

You lay on the bed, panting as you came down from your third orgasm of the evening. The redhead smirked above you as he withdrew, clearly pleased with his work making you come undone. The door slammed open, revealing Nyx, hurriedly stripping out of his glaive uniform. "Out, Sinclair." He ordered, shoving Reno aside. "You've had your time with her, it's my turn to please our Princess now." He said, attaching his lips to your neck hungrily.

Axel backed you up against the wall, using his teeth to remove his last remaining glove as he used his other hand to bring your leg to rest on his hip. Eyebrow raised, smirk on his face, he eases himself into you, letting out a loud moan as the sensation of being inside you overwhelms him, the radiating heat from his body setting your entire body aflame. He lifted your other leg, starting to thrust into you against the wall, moaning louder with each thrust. "You're mine, Kacey." He growled, emerald eyes boring into yours as he pulled on your hair gently. "All mine." He pinned your wrists above your head against the wall with his hand, keeping you supported with his other arm. "Now, Princess, come for me." He whispered, voice sounding strained, clearly nearly at his own end. "Let me hear your beautiful moans, baby girl. Let me hear them all."

"Oh, baby girl, look at how you move for me," Axel moaned, pushing your legs up closer to your chest. "Ah, fffuck, get on top for me, princess." You straddled him and he stated up at you with wide eyed admiration as you sat on his twitching cock. "Those hips, that fucking smile, gods." He tilted his head back, panting. "You're a fucking she devil, Kacey. You feel so good, so, ah, so good." His hands clawed at your thighs, his cheeks flushed. "Just like that, let me fill you up."

It's 2AM underneath a full moon, and your hair's sprawled back against your pillows as he rides you, teasingly slow, grin just as bright as the light streaming in through your curtains. "It's been a while," Axel mutters, his touch hot and vice-like on your hips, a sharp thrust drawing a moan out of your lips. "Sounds like you missed me. I missed you," he says, his voice a whisper, mouth just barely covering yours. "I missed you so bad, princess. Let me show you how much."

"Oh baby girl..." A familiar voice sang, the heated tips of his fingers running down your back as he bent you over the desk in the library, making every nerve stand to attention. "We'll have to be quick, Xigbar will be back any minute." Axel crooned, pushing himself into you in one sharp movement. "Please, I can hear the two of you from a mile away, not that I'm complaining. Show me what she can do, Ax." Xigbar said as he walked back into the room, smirk on his face.

You felt a hand grab your wrist, pulling you into the supply closet and pressing you against a shelf as you heard the door lock behind you. Amidst the darkness, you could see the faint outline of a braid as Nyx honed in on you, lips attaching to your neck immediately. You gasped at the contact, feeling Nyx smirk against your skin as he left a plethora of marks. "Well good morning to you too, Princess. Glad to see you could join me in this little meeting..." He said, nipping the delicate flesh.

Nyx ran his hands along your waist, gently skimming his fingers down your sides, causing you to shiver. He reached behind him, picking up one of his kukris, dancing the blade over your skin, as he ran it under the strap of your bra. He teased the edges of the fabric, a smirk coming over his features. "Now, my darling Princess," Nyx began, leaning down to kiss your neck. "How about we get this damned thing off of you? Hmm?"

Reno kissed down your stomach, hands playing with your breasts as he kissed you with urgency, trying to get his lips onto every inch of skin at once. "Have I ever told you how beautiful your body is, Kacey?" He mused, pressing a gentle kiss above your belly button. "The way you move for me, the way you take my cock, the way you arch... I could stare at it for hours." He moved down your body, kissing a trail down your abdomen before placing his head between your thighs, eyes dancing wickedly.

Ignis bit down on one of the fingertips of his gloves, pulling off with his teeth before throwing it aside. "My dear, I do trust you're feeling, shall we say, energetic?" He asked, pulling a bullet vibrator from his pocket. "Because I do not plan on stopping the use of this dear toy, I only hope that you'll be able to keep up with me. I'll be too much of a shame to see you ruined before the fun can really start..."

You felt a gloved hand teasing your entrance as you were bent over the bed, testing to see just how wet you were after the acts already performed by the two of you. A chuckle was heard behind you before you felt him enter, filling you deeply and causing you to gasp. "I want this whole damn place knowing who it is who fucks your as well as I do." He groaned, starting to thrust at a brutal pace. "Got it memorized?"

"C'mon, Princess." Xigbar cooed, biting down on your neck as you strained against the bonds holding you to the headboard, trying to reach him for a little bit of revenge. "Just let me tease you..." He ran his tongue along your collarbone and down to your nipples, before running his hand down your body to gently work at your clit. You arched into him, smirk never leaving his face as he worked on you. "Think it's time my princess got a little royal treatment, after all..."

Kacey, I know I’m not around much, I know you worry endlessly when I’m away. I can’t tell you I will always come back alive but I CAN tell you that I will always be thinking of you and I will always love you, no matter what. Remember that, when you’re alone, when I can’t be there and remember I’m fighting now only for the King, not only for Lucis but for you, to keep you safe. And maybe when you’re alone you can think about something else involving me too. - Nyx

Reno and Axel

Saix lay you down onto the bed, his hold on you still firm, still very much dominating, yet somehow gentler than usual. "It has come to my attention that certain... cretins are making you feel inadequate as of late." He said, tone firm as he ran his hands down your body. "Allow me to show you what it is that drew me to you, how much pleasure I gain from indulging in you, how it pleases me to see you come apart by my hand. I will give you pleasure unmatched, Kacey. That much, I can assure you."

The nose of one brushed against your neck, hands toying with your nipples, causing you to squirm. Or, at least, you would squirm, if your legs weren't being pinned to the floor by the hands of the other being wrapped around your thighs, his tongue buried deep within your heat. "Hey, Reno?" Axel called, pausing his actions for a moment. "Swap with me soon, we said we'd both make her cum twice each before the final act of the night..."
