i took the switcheroo week as an excuse to finally try my hand at some scrybeswap designs! got a bit carried away as you can see, i love doing character design so much

decided to keep their species/major design elements fairly consistent (e.g. grimora's makeup, mag being vague and indistinct, leshy having nonhuman legs, p03 only having one arm) while still switching up their aesthetics as needed; super happy with all of these as a result!

design notes for each scrybe under the cut! def open to any further questions or curiosities, i always think way too hard about characters while designing them lmao

P03:

scrybe of the dead: i went for a possessed tv vibe; he's still mechanical but those bones do have a living soul trapped in them...also shoutout to @squid-hug for suggesting the x-ray machine, i was very tickled by that lmao

scrybe of beasts: overgrown old bot was kind of a given for this one, but i was also thinking that the plants are part of what's keeping him running somehow

scrybe of magicks: the magic eye is the core powering that top monitor, and the two side monitors display what he's seeing with that eye at any given time

grimora:

scrybe of beasts: she's a witch! like a chill terry pratchett kind of witch, she works with a lot of herbs and such; also her makeup is meant to mimic blood drops

scrybe of magicks: magick grimora is more of a warlock type, her magic is a lot more sinister and she almost never opens her eyes (whereas her third eye is basically always open)

scrybe of tech: tech grimora is kind of a wacky machinist-flavored dr. frankenstein; she inscribes by writing on circuitboards!

leshy:

scrybe of the dead: this leshy is a gargoyle/vampire hybrid! i thought a mirror would be fun for him bc you can get two different cultural refs; medusa (bc stone gargoyle), and the idea that vampires don't appear in mirrors!

scrybe of magicks: i decided to make him a bird guy (kinda harpy-esque) bc he's basically a more whimsical baba yaga hermit; the baba yaga thing carries over from slavic folklore obvs. also he has polycoria!

scrybe of tech: tech leshy was super fun, bc he's steampunk! rather than animal legs i gave him digitigrade robot legs, but other than that he's the most like, normal human guy here probably lmao; despite his well-adjusted appearance though i still think he's got a bit of freaky wonk in him

magnificus:

scrybe of the dead: this one was very ring-inspired lol, got those clump of hair you found in the shower drain vibes

scrybe of beasts: bush magnificus real! i think he'd be a bit more quirky trickster fae in this form

scrybe of tech: one of my favorites; tech mag is an emaciated cyborg draped in so many loose cords and wires that you can't tell what he looks like anymore. a lot of those cords are connected to him, and he plugs them in wherever as needed! he also has a drawing stylus, making him just an average art student tbh lmao

The Deep Dark by Molly Knox Ostertag

From Molly Knox Ostertag, writer-illustrator of the New York Times and Indie bestselling The Witch Boy trilogy and The Girl from the Sea, comes a darkly beautiful story of identity, family, love, loss, and magic.

Everyone has secrets. Mags’s has teeth.

Magdalena Herrera is about to graduate high school, but she already feels like an adult with serious responsibilities: caring for her ailing grandmother; working a part-time job; clandestine makeouts with a girl who has a boyfriend. And then there’s her secret, which pulls her into the basement each night, drains her of energy, and leaves her bleeding. A secret that could hurt and even kill if it ever got out -- like it did once before.

So Mags keeps her head down, isolated in her small desert community. That is, until her childhood friend Nessa comes back to town, bringing vivid memories of the past, an intoxicating glimpse of the future, and a secret of her own. Mags won’t get attached, of course. She’s always been strong enough to survive without anyone’s help.

But when the darkness starts to close in on them both, Mags will have to drag her secret into the daylight, and choose between risking everything... or having nothing left to lose.

Universe was too big for me to hold (Agatha x F!Reader)

The silence of the night was suddenly broken when a cry of pain ran through the entire place. Maybe it was a good thing that Westview was abandoned because if anyone had gone to find out what was going on, they would have been met with a not-so-pretty scene. Not that she cared, of course.

Agatha continued throwing all the objects that crossed her path, not caring about their value or provenance, and not even finding any comfort in seeing them smash against the wall, but it was okay, she wasn't doing it for comfort, she just needed to get out a deep pain and the rage that gnawed at her soul.

She had failed. 

She had failed so pathetically, so miserably, that just remembering it filled her with an intense, ancient rage that burned inside her as if fire, not blood, ran through her veins. Cursed the hour she had felt the power of chaos magic, cursed the moment she had tempted the scarlet witch, and cursed the second you had appeared out of nowhere.

You shouldn't have been there. You shouldn't have gone looking for her, she wasn't even sure you should have noticed her to begin with. She had always known that she was doomed to a life of solitude, to a life sentence of bitterness and hate. Love had not been created for her, because everything she touched got corrupted.

She had made peace with that years ago, she had resigned herself to the fact that her road was hers alone, without friendly stops or extra passengers. But then…then she met you, and you changed her entire life, turned her reality upside down, and broke every single one of her beliefs. You showed her that there was more than one way, and you planted in her the small hope that, perhaps, love could be named after her.

After living for more than three hundred years, there were many things that her mind had forgotten over time, things that had once been important to her but were now nothing more than a blur in her memory. But even if she lived a million more years, she could never forget the day you had entered her life, so pure and innocent, full of life and ready to love the creature that everyone feared, the being in which she had converted.

Agatha was no fool, she knew that her name had quickly become taboo after what she had done with her mother's coven, and it was not common for the few witches who recognized her to run away from her or try to kill her, the looks of ice, fear or hate were not foreign to her.

But you hadn't had any of that when you looked at her. In your eyes, there was nothing but almost childlike fascination, tenderness, emotion, and admiration, and your kind smile told her of a tentative promise, an illusion that was just beginning to take shape in the veil of time, and she couldn't help but feel drawn to your velvet arms.

Of course, she wasn't going to say that everything had been wonderful and smooth because she was Agatha Harkness and trouble was always around the corner, and on more than one occasion she was sure you would leave her, but you always had surprised her with your loyalty and infinite love towards her and you proved to her that no matter what you had to face for her, you would do it without a second thought.

Agatha found that complete surrender intriguing and inspiring, so she swore to you, to herself, and to the entire world that she would never give you less than the same devotion you had for her. And she had been able to do it for almost two hundred years. Then Wanda happened.

The brunette was not going to run away from her own fault, she knew that it was all because of her, that her mistakes had accumulated a huge debt that you had ended up paying. At some point in her history, she had believed her own legend, she had believed that she really was the most powerful magical being in the world and that she could challenge the universe itself.

Her ambition had been enormous, and eating the world didn't seem like enough for her, so she'd gone after this magic, this bloody red magic, as intoxicating and tempting in the imagination as it was dangerous in essence. She believed Wanda to be a clumsy, pathetic girl with no skills, a puppet that would be easy to manipulate at her whim, she believed that she had the perfect victim, and she entered the spider's web without suspecting it.

She was wrong. She miscalculated and messed with the one witch no one should ever piss off. Wanda had awesome power, greater than any magic the brunette had ever known, but she was unstable, too broken by a cruel life that wouldn't stop beating her down. The redhead was fighting the demons she had created herself, and Agatha had entered the game just as the bomb was about to go off. And she got burned.

Once upon a time, she had sworn to protect you from everything, she had sworn to fight the universe itself if necessary, but she had not been able to even win against a witch who did not know her own power, she had bitten off more than she could chew and the universe laughed at her.

She could never forget the day she met you, but that moment was now fighting in her mind against the horrible vision of seeing you appear in front of her, absorbing Wanda's final attack. Your laughter would be confused with the memory of your cries of pain and she would never be able to think of you again, without her chest aching. Because you were dead.

Your lifeless body had fallen in front of her, your lifeless eyes pierced her soul, your expression of pain would remain frozen in time, and your stopped heart turned off hers too. She didn't even feel when Wanda absorbed her magic, she could only see you, dead, gone.

She was alone now, condemned to wander a ghost town, without magic, without life, without love. Only with a broken heart and a debt with the stars.

The High King by Lloyd Alexander

1969 Newbery Medal Winner

Adapted by Laurel H, Frances D, and Thuan D. (2024)

From Chicago, IL

Judges' Remarks: This movie is inspired! It was a smart idea to tell the story mostly with voiceover narration that supplemented the visuals of the characters enacting the story—that strategy very efficiently got across most of the major plot points while keeping everything coherent and understandable. All the performances were full of fun energy and committed emotion, and I was amused at how Eilonwy was played by a dog! The costumes for the other characters were resourceful and impressive too, from Taran's weird wig and mustache, to the witches, to the various beards and cloaks deployed throughout. The sound design was good too, especially the music during the fight scene between Fflewdur Fflam and the witch Mag, or the harp glissando when we first see the sword Dyrnwyn. There were so many ingenious special effects, like how one dying "cauldron-born" was multiplied into many, or how camera trickery was used to make Arawn magically transform himself to look like Gwydion with a swoop of the cloak, and then instantly brought back from Gwydion to Arawn when Taran smacks him with the sword—very cleverly done (and also, similarly, when the sword Dyrnwyn vanishes)! The stock footage of an explosion when Annuvin was blowing up was a nice touch, and I loved the resourcefulness of how one witch was turned into three through editing sleigh-of-hand. This movie had elaborate and colorful costumes, hilarious acting, exciting action scenes, a tight script, lots of humor—and it was impressive how most of it was all filmed in a single room! A winner!

And what if I told you that I not only slightly kin Jane Prentiss but also that Hive is one of my favourite Statements?

(The image shows a young women she looks up at the upper right corner. The whole image is an uncoloured sketch and held in light pink and purple tones. Jane Prentiss has a neutral expression with only a hint of wonder in her eyes. She is not yet an avatar of the Corruption. Her hair is covered by a head scarf that is tied in a knot like a bun and a few hairs are poking out. At this point in her life she had still considered her self a witch thus she is wearing something inspired by that. A casual button up shirt with a vest ontop of it, a choker, a necklace and various piercings such as an hanging moon earring and a septum.

On the right next to Jane there is a text that reads:

"There is a wasps' nest in my attic. [...]

It thrums with life and malice. [...]

Sings that I am beautiful.

Sings that I am home.

That I can be fully consumed by what loves me."

- Mag 036-Hive ; Statment of Jane Prentiss )

Tricks and Treats

A/N: I was inspired by @davidlikesboys02’s story, Sweet Tooth, that I wanted to create one too.

Pairing: Parker Caine x Male reader

“I’m telling you, Mags, this look isn’t for me,” Y/N says, frowning at his reflection in the mirror. He was dressed like a firefighter, only he didn't have a shirt on leaving his bare chest exposed. The stupid costume only came with suspenders, pants, and a hat.

His sister was hosting a Kappa Halloween party here at the house tonight and Y/N opted on staying in his room until it was all over, but Maggie wouldn't hear of it. She wanted to push her brother outside of his comfort zone and what better way than to mingle with people at a party? She was dressed in a purple ball gown, a star tiara on her head.

“Will you stop fussing? You look fine, and every guy and girl tonight is gonna think you look like a snack in that getup,” she smiles. Y/N rolls his eyes. “Like Ava Max says, ‘“I'm not a bite, I'm a five-course meal.’” Maggie scoffs. “You have got to stop listening to her music. She is so not.”

“Yes, she is.”

“Fine, whatever. I'm not letting go downstairs dressed as Pikachu, that practically screams “‘virgin.’” Y/N frowned. “But I am a virgin.”

“I know that, and you know that, but the people at this party don't need to know that. Okay?” Maggie says. “Besides, it's your chance to look sexy and show off your body.” Y/N shook his head, “I don't want to show off my body, I want to keep it hidden,” Y/N tells her.

Maggie sighs in defeat. “Just try it out and if you're uncomfortable later on, then you can change, alright?”

Y/N nods his head in agreement. “If anyone tries touching my chest I'm kicking their ass.”

“Deal.”

Macy, Mel, and Harry walk through the front door, as Y/N and Maggie come downstairs. “You guys,” she says with a grin. “I’m pretty sure Martha Stewart is a witch.” She twirls in her gown and smiles as they stare at her in shock. “Y/N what the hell are you wearing?” Mel asks, taking in her brother’s appearance. He blushes and before he can answer; Maggie interrupts him. “He’s a sexy fireman, who’s gonna get laid tonight.”

“That wasn’t the plan,” Y/N said.

“You invited Gavin behind my back,” Macy says, looking at both Y/N and Maggie. Y/N shook his head. “It was Mag’s idea.”

“What? I wanted to surprise you.”

“Do I look like someone who enjoys surprises?” Macy asks.

“Okay, I know. Boundaries. But hear me out,” Maggie starts. “I was thinking about this whole Harbinger thing and-“

“-No, you weren’t,” Mel says

“I so was.”

“And I thought to myself, "Maggie, why walk around campus handing out one cookie at a time when you could invite 200 people here and test them out all at once?" Maggie rants.

“So this has nothing to do with your sorority?” Mel asks her.

Maggie bites her lips, “Well, I mean, coincidentally, it might keep me from getting kicked out of Kappa, but that's just the icing.”

“The cake is totally for you guys. Because I so want to help save the world.”

“As much as I hate to say it, it's not a bad idea,” Y/N says. “We could rule out most of the Greek system in a matter of hours.”

“And I'm guessing your precious Elders haven't come up with anything better?” Mel asks Harry, a smug look on her face.

Harry looks at all four Charmed ones and sighs in defeat. “Very well…”

“Yes!”

“As long as we stay on task, and remain vigilant. There's no telling when the Harbinger might strike.”

The party is in full swing after just a few hours. People are dancing to the music, drinking skinny margaritas and eating the cookies Macy made. Y/N can feel both guys and girls looking at him as he walks by with a tray of cookies. He's really glad that he can levitate instead of reading minds like Maggie. At one point he sees Macy dressed like Judge Judy, a few minutes later, she's dressed like a Greek Goddess. Later on, the four witches find out the Harbinger is hunting virgins to strengthen its vessel. Y/N feels a bit nervous as he goes to get ingredients for a protection spell.

Y/N goes to the cabinet and uses a step stool to reach the ingredients. He searches for dried sage, which is a little high for him to reach. He tippy-toes, trying to reach the ingredient, but the stool tips over, and Y/N falls. He probably would have hit his head, but strong arms caught him. Y/N looks up to see a guy wearing sunglasses staring at him. “Woah, talk about falling for a guy,” Y/N chuckles nervously.

The guy chuckles too. “You okay there, Mr. Firefighter?” The guy takes off his sunglasses and Y/N recognizes him as the guy who helped him at the diner this morning. “Uh, thanks to you, again.”

“Right place, right time,” the guy smiles. Y/N blushes a bit. The guy is really handsome. “I'm Parker, by the way. Parker, Caine,” Parker says, holding out his hand for Y/N to shake. “Y/N Vera.” Parker grins. Y/N looks down at his boots, then back up. “I was just grabbing a drink. Can I pour you one?”

“I'm actually kind of busy with something right now. But catch you later, Officer?”

“Yes, sir,” Parker salutes. Y/N smiles before walking away.

Parker watches him leave, a smile on his face.

...

The protection spell doesn't work since the Harbinger is already inside the house. “What are we supposed to do?” Mel asks. “When you want to lure a shark, you don't use live bait,” Macy says. “You chum the water.” She takes a needle from hair. “Great. But where are we gonna get our hands on virgin blood?”

“Right here,” both Y/N and Macy say at the same time. They both prick their hands before smearing the blood on a nearby tree. “Y/N you're a virgin?” Mel asks. “Yeah, so?” Mel holds her hands up. “Nothing. I just thought that you and Chris had gone all the way before he cheated on you.” Y/N shook his head. “I told him that I wasn't ready yet, and I'm pretty sure that's why he cheated on me. Because I wouldn't put out.”

“I'm sorry, honey,” Mel says.

“It's alright, that's the past,” Y/N tells her. They lure the demon to a binding circle, and they discover that the vessel is Angela Wu. During the spell Maggie's powers act up. The demon turns to Y/N and Macy. “Y/N, Macy, run!” Harry says. Y/N and Macy take off into the forest as Angela chases after them. “Macy, hide. I'll distract her,” Y/N says. “What? Y/N she's too powerful. She'll kill you.”

“No, she won't,” Y/N says as Angela charges towards him, her pale white face glowing red. At the last second, Y/N levitates into the air and kicks her in the head. She stumbles back a bit but looks more angry than hurt. She charges again, but Macy telekinetically moves a tree branch to distract her. The two hide behind a tree as Angela comes around the other side, but Maggie hits her with a tree branch.

The demon quickly gets up to attack the three witches, but Mel utters a dangerous spell, “Solaris incantatio!” The spell works but knocks everyone off their feet and Y/N stops breathing. “Y/N!”

“Harry, please do something! He's not breathing!” Mel says. “Oh, God.”

“Y/N?” Maggie whispers, seeing her brother unconscious.

“Let's just hope it's shock,” Harry said, holding out his hand to heal Y/N.

“Please, this is not happening,” Mel begs.

“Y/N, come on,” Macy says.

Y/N wakes up gasping for air. He looks around wildly. “What happened?” he asks. “You almost died,” Harry says. “Yeah, well what else is new?” Y/N jokes.

“I am so, so sorry. Will you ever forgive me?” Mel asks.

“You did save mine and Macy's, life, so I think I'll let it slide,” Y/N grins as his sisters hug him.

Maggie, Y/N, and Macy did damage control since Maggie reversed her glamour spell. People were leaving the house, and Macy ran into Gavin, before kissing him. Y/N smiled happily. Maybe he should try that with Parker. He just needed to find him first. Good thing Y/N’s costume was store-bought, so he still had it on.

He saw Maggie talking to Lucy. Y/N rolled his eyes, she was so annoying. He caught the last bit of their conversation about Maggie becoming a Kappa. Both girls squealed and hugged each other. Y/N smiled. His sister had wanted this for so long, and now she had it. His smile widened even further as Parker walked towards them.

“Oh, Parker!” Lucy said, as he handed her a drink. “Baby. Uh, this is the girl I was telling you about.” She said, taking a sip of her drink. Y/N's smile faded as he realized what was happening. Parker wasn't single. He had a girlfriend.

“Parker, meet my favorite pledge, Maggie, and her baby brother, Y/N. Maggie, Y/N, meet my boyfriend, Parker.” Parker glanced guiltily at Y/N, who looked absolutely crestfallen. “Hey, Mags, I'm gonna go to bed, already,” he said, trying to keep his voice from cracking.

“Y/N are you alright?”

“I'm fine,” even though he wasn't. Y/N walked up the stairs and to his room with his head hanging low and his heart crushed. He cried a good five minutes before he heard a knock at his door. He tried to dry his eyes, as he answered the door. He expected Maggie to be at the door. She probably knew something was wrong with him and wanted to check on him, but it wasn't her. It was the last person Y/N expected. It was Parker.

Y/N immediately tried to close the door, but Parker stuck out his foot, blocking the door from closing. “Go away, Parker, I don't want to see you,” Y/N told him. “Y/N, please just let me explain,” Parker pleads.

“No! And I never wanna see you again!” Y/N tries again to close the door, but Parker is a lot stronger. Y/N sighs. “Parker, what do you want from me?” Y/N is so confused. Why was he being so insistent? “A chance to explain, please?” Parker says. “After that you can kick my ass out if you want.”

“You’ve got two minutes.” Y/N told him.

“Y/N I know we only just met, but I haven’t been able to get you out of my head,” Parker says. “There’s something about you that I can’t explain, but I like it.” That normally would've made Y/N blush, but he was too upset to feel embarrassed. “Is that before or after you realized you had a girlfriend?”

“I know it looks bad, but I mean it when I say that I like you. I’ve never felt like this about anyone before,” Parker said. “Is that what you tell all the suckers who fall for you?” Y/N asks him. “Is that what this is Parker? A stupid joke on a poor guy that you and Lucy can laugh at later after breaking his heart?” Y/N feels tears threatening to spill. It was stupid. They had only just met and Y/N feels like he’s liked Parker for a long time.

“No, Y/N, it’s not like that at all,” Parker protests. “What can I do to convince you my feelings for you are genuine?”

“I’m not sure there’s anything you can do, Parker,” Y/N says. “Maybe you should just-“

Y/N is cut off by soft lips being pressed against his own. At first, he’s too shocked to do anything, but let it happen, a few seconds later Parker pulls away. He looks at Y/N’s shocked face, a shy smile on his lips. “Did that convince you?” He asked. Y/N licks his lips, tasting Parker on them. Only later would Y/N realize that a demon’s kiss was addictive.

Against his better judgment; Y/N leans up to kiss Parker, and the taller boy leans down to meet his lips with his own. Parker cups Y/N’s face with one hand and snakes his other around Y/N’s waist. His bare chest touching Parker's clothed one. Y/N tugs on Parker's shirt, as the other boy parts his lips with his tongue and kisses him deeply. Y/N moans against his mouth as the two part away, slowly.

“What about Lucy?” Y/N says, a blush on his face, but his eyes are shining. “We're over,” Parker says. “I’ve found someone even more amazing.” Y/N smiles a bit, as they kiss once again. Looks like this Halloween party was a good thing after all.

Recherche de staff

Salut salut !

Avant tout, je vous souhaite une belle année 2024, du bonheur et plein de paillettes.

Je viens avec quelques nouvelles, concernant l'avancement du projet et aussi une petite recherche de staff. Toute aide/contribution est la bienvenue évidemment et ça ne vous engage en rien. Je vous laisse découvrir les nouveautés de cette nouvelle année :

Le forum a été créé, la majorité de la première version installée (autant la partie design que le codage). Un grand merci à Genius Panda pour le Blank Theme (https://blank-theme.com/) et toutes les personnes ayant participé à pimper le thème de base, ça sauve des vies vraiment ! C'est loin d'être parfait mais ça prend doucement forme. Je tenais à préparer au max le terrain pour que ça ne soit pas un énorme chantier, c'est plus motivant je trouve d'avoir une idée de l'ambiance du forum. Bien-sûr, rien n'est définitif.

Concernant la rédaction des annexes et sujets divers, pour être honnête, ça n'a pas beaucoup avancé (petite liste au chaud dans l'esprit mais c'est peut-être trop de détails? pas assez? enfin vous voyez) donc je préfère voir tout ça avec le futur staff. C'est toujours sympa d'avoir un regard extérieur et depuis le temps, je ne dois plus être trèèès objective haha.

Par rapport à l'activité (et il me semble que ça se fait déjà sur quelques forums), ça serait cool d'alléger ça au maximum pour que chacun puisse profiter de l'expérience et écrire sans se mettre la pression. Globalement, doubler les "délais" comme finir sa fiche en deux semaines au lieu d'une seule (avec toujours la possibilité de prolonger), pourquoi pas un rp tous les deux mois/à chaque nouvelle màj du forum ? Ou alors supprimer les membres en danger au profit d'un recensement tous les deux mois environ ? Sans que ce soit forcément un recensement rp mais surtout pour faire le point sur les personnages et si le temps/l'envie a manqué pour rp, simplement préciser comment le personnage s'insère dans la dynamique actuelle/par rapport à l'intrigue en cours ? Enfin voilà, si vous avez un avis par rapport à ça, n'hésitez surtout pas !!

Un moment, j'avais évoqué la création d'un serveur discord pour le projet. C'est toujours d'actualité, je préfère réserver ça pour plus tard, quand l'équipe sera au complet histoire que ce soit plus dynamique !

Enfin, quelques mots sur la recherche de staff. Deux/trois personnes supplémentaires je pense : pas d'exigences particulières, tant que le projet vous inspire et que vous avez le temps/l'envie d'y apporter votre contribution alors ça me va. S'il y a des tâches administratives que vous préférez par rapport à d'autres (rédaction des annexes, animation inrp/hrp, valider les fiches, répondre aux demandes des membres/invités, etc etc) ou si vous êtes plus sur l'aspect apparence générale (design/codage) n'hésitez pas à m'en faire part ! (via ce tumblr par messages ou directement sur discord si vous préférez)

Merciii et à très vite !

[shatteredfears-arch]

quick thought before i go into work;;

ik the fandom and lbr the trailers heavilt went to the ‘vampire’ thing even capcm went ‘theyre inspired by the brides of dracula!!!’ then went aND MADE THEM WITCHES in the game files/ethans insults (also: witch does not necessarily mean magic, res is a heavily science based game even if village doesnt make it feel that way and i personally include mag eliments in my ‘primary’ verse shit’

heres the thing tho: even tho we know tbey have other clothes bc of bela’s room in the maiden demo: ive looked into the fabric it qould take to make their hunting attire. that shits thick. its heavy. even a bunch of magic mold flies would be struggling with that.

the clothes turn into flies too. so do their sickles.

honestly their entire thing screams that those arent additions, those are part of them, which based in the fact the flies are supposedly their ‘true’ form if the game files and in game notes are meant to be believed. thus in my head, logically, not only are the clothes for others (moms) benefit and not theirs, bc i definitely think theyre just fucking naked like dude theyre bugs.

i think their main ‘power’ beyond obviously being the shifting from swarm to ‘human’, honestly i think they more accurately correlate to shifters. but given that whole debate with t/wilight and t/rue b/lood, capcom probably didnt wanna go down that road when they already had lycans lol.

Yandere America x Reader x Britain

Inspired by the whole Omegaverse story written by @Post-Moe found here

https://www.wattpad.com/story/226759316-being-in-love-yandere-america-x-reader

But with Faes and magical mischief. But the world is built on the same premise as Possessive/ Darlings being in different groups by society.

If you're looking for Part 2

Enjoy my word salad. :)

Normal. A normal Alpha to the eyes of anyone who came and went through the coffee shop that you managed and made drinks for the hundreds of people who came in each day. To drink coffee and to eat the pastries that were provided by a nearby bakery. You put on the act of someone who was large and in charge well. For years you kept up this act and it managed to work for you. All thanks to your powers that you were born with as a fae.

Fae. Something that was abnormal, beautiful, and highly sought after by the society’s elites to be charming servants. Your kind along with mermaids and certain types of witches had the unfortunate hand in being enslaved by some of the more powerful sorcerers, politicians, and nations in power.

In your case, you somehow managed to trick the sorcerers who wear meant to take you from your home by the time you turned 20 to be trained and certified to serve a selected elite for the rest of your life. You tricked them into thinking that you were an Alpha rather than a Darling that always had to be under the control of someone.

Your powers as a fae were able to help you escape the observant meticulous eyes of those in power. You toned down your beauty, upped your strength, and put up the aura of an alpha. Robust personality one that wouldn’t waver. It worked. You fooled them … for then.

Now at 26, you have new sorcerers and nations to be wary of, Alfred F. Jones (US) and Arthur Kirkland (U.K.) Darling hunters that brought Class S darlings back to the grooming facilities to be given to the elites.

Up until recently, more Class S darlings had been able to evade capture and processing to be servants. They all were becoming smarter and stronger. The nations were having none of it. They began to up the anty on being able to hunt down the special class darlings since numbers had been dwindling for a little while and the backlog of elites who want them were beginning to pile up. So the states decided to train the nations to become classified sorcerers to apprehend Class S darlings.

And unlucky for you, Jones and Kirkland were some of the best when it came to capturing these kinds of darlings.

They wandered into your store one day to grab coffee and tea before their next world meeting.

One of your employees was taking their order, while you were busy trying to take inventory of the tea sets and coffee filters that were in your display case restocking.

They observed you for a few minutes while they waited for their drinks to be made and something about you and how you behaved was captivating. They also noted that you were a little too alluring to be a normal alpha. Your otherworldly luminescent eyes that glistened with determination to get the job done right were a signal to them.

The other thing that they discerned from watching you were that you didn’t have a commanding posture as Alpha’s usually do and the way you spoke to customers was warmer than any other Alpha they had been around even for a coffee shop.

“Jones! I have your Vanilla Latte and Earl Grey!” Your employee shouted in the midst of the customers. As they went to pick up the drinks they still had your visage in their view.

As they did so a reckless child ran past them and bumps into the open display. Nearly knocking down a coffee bean grinder that almost hit the child on the head. Had it not been for you being able to use just a slight bit of your magic to stop it from falling on the reckless child. With the flick of your wrist and a flicker of your magic, you were able to levitate the grinder right above the child's head. Not enough to make it obvious that you were using magic but to trained eyes, it was obvious that it wasn't simply your strong muscle reflexes that aided you in being able to stop the toppling machine.

“Careful.” You say sweetly before you continue on with your restocking duties.

Alfred and Arthur give each other a knowing look. Confirming their earlier suspicions they had about you from the start.

“Definitely a Fae,” Alfred utters to Arthur under his breath.

They both carry on to the meeting taking not of the hours of operation of your shop. They will surely be back to investigate further the occurrences they just observed. They now wanted to size up how strong of a fae you were and if you would be difficult to subdue.

Some of the other Class S Witches and Faes had been giving them trouble when it came to trying to track and capture.

Alfred whips out his cellphone and calls the headquarters: “I’d like to request a few members of my team to surveillance this coffee shop on 3rd street. It’s possible we’ve found a Darling Fae. Make sure they don’t take notice of you, just observe.”

He puts his cellphone back in his suit pocket and continues on with Arthur.

“I hope you’re ready for a fun night Arthur. Looks like you get to use some of your world-famous family spells you’ve been dying to try out.”

Authur has a dark look that stretches across his face and he summons his ancient familial spellbook from thin air.

“You’re right. I am.”

[readymades2002]

witch hat spoilers and also its incoherent and i didnt realize while i was writing it that a lot of it is actually addressed in the chapters im reading and i thought i was connecting it on my own like a silly goose but its okay

qifrey and coco's relationship makes me feel unwell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! qifrey unquestionably cares about her and wants to protect her, but he only allowed her to keep her memory because of her connection to the brimhats! if there was a way to save her mother without forbidden magic and no connection, then i feel pretty certain he would have done it. just like his search ended at the tower of books, he is probably sure hers will, too. taking her into his atelier allows her to keep her connection, and gives her more time. time to see what the brimhats do, but also time to allow her to believe she can fix it without forbidden magic. it serves qifrey's own ends as well as allowing him to believe he's protecting her (like beldarut says). i have no doubt he wants to protect her! he doesn't believe in magic the way she does. many of the trials faced by his atelier so far have been problems that seem insurmountable until they figure out a solution they can carry out! tetia has a whole moment where she proclaims that magic allows you to do what you couldn't do otherwise, and as long as you can practice it, you can find a way to help. and many times you don't have to turn to forbidden magic! coco has seen a lot of things become possible through thought and time. qifrey doesn't believe there's another option but to give up rather than touch that magic, but if the future of witches can believe in another way, then who's to say it's not possible?

coco is getting closer to forbidden magic in the current moment, of course, and there is a lot telling her that she may have no choice but to use it eventually. when orugio dismissed the idea of her becoming a brimhat while watching her work on qifrey's cold pack, i think he missed that it is because she is so thoughtful and kind that she could use forbidden magic. she doesn't have the same upbringing as witches, and she desperately wants her mom back. she has only the best intentions, and she doesn't have that grown knowledge of what is or isn't possible. if her search stops at the tower of books, she will find another solution, whatever magic she has to use to do it.

and of course, under qifrey's care, his desire for revenge on the people who destroyed him, who waited for him to find contentment before trying to destroy it once again, with coco under his wing is what places her so close to forbidden magic!!! he is doing so much to protect magic for her. showing her that there is so much kind magic that exists simply to make people happy was for this reason! but she is going to have to face it eventually all the same, and he is bringing her closer to it because of his own pain. they are walking the same path now. there's no safe way off of it. there never was. with the secret and knowledge of magic hidden, leaving her with no way to know what she was doing, and with forbidden magic being so thoughtfully offered up to her (giving her the phrase "magic is a miracle that can color the world", something that is driving her forward and inspiring her all the time even as it came from the mouth of iguin!!!), how could she have walked away from this?

(if one of the reasons forbidden magic is, well, forbidden, is because you are not meant to interfere with the course of fate, then what does it mean for someone whose fate was enacted on them like this? what does fate mean in a story that begins with the question, "is an athlete born an athlete? an astronaut, an idol, are they born as these things? what about witches?", when a combination of the maintenance of the lie about witches and forces bigger than her choosing her as a vessel for unravelling that lie put her in a position she cannot see but has no way of escaping? what is interfering with fate supposed to mean when forbidden magic is a category entirely invented, and when fate is already being decided by witches, like someone hearing a prophecy foretelling their destruction and bringing it to pass with the very measures they take to prevent it?)
