open to masc muses! zephyr neal, 33, marine biologist. every friday, zephyr’s office goes out for happy hour. lately, his boss has been bringing someone they’ve been dating your muse. zephyr and your muse hit it off and always end up staying super late, hours after everyone else has gone home, drinking and talking. zephyr has developed feelings (mutual?) but obviously neither of them can act on it or acknowledge it due to the dynamic, so they only see each other on these late nights, and zephyr looks forward to it all week.

“you sure you don’t have to go?” zephyr asks, though what he really wants to say is thank god they’re all finally gone. his eyes study the other man carefully as he weighs whether or not to order another drink. now that his coworkers - and boss - have retreated home for the evening, the pair has reached that same crossroad they had the few previous fridays. do they turn office happy hour into an intimate night of drinks, or do they part ways? zephyr knew which decision they should make, but he hoped the outcome was a different one.

[sunbecms]

he wished he could just hop on his phone and pretend like he wasn't stuck in a car with his ex, but unfortunately their friends had the grand idea of road tripping in the middle of no where. zephyr's cell service had gone out about fifty miles ago, so he was forced to confront the very real presence of gareth beside him. at the man's comment, he gave an amused breath. "honestly? would it be bad to say i was hoping you'd be the one to bail." zephyr watched the other's expression. "just hope we get to where we're going, y'know, quickly." it was unlikely.

open to: w / m / nb.

character: gareth jackson. cis man. he / him. bisexual. dancer.

plot: our muses are exes, but planned to go on a road trip with their friends and neither of them wanted to be party poopers (considering they're people pleasers an' all). now their friends are snoring in the back, gareth is driving and your muse is at the front (travel sickness or something was their friends' excuse...)

"how are you feeling about this then?" he asks, after what felt like hours of silence, featuring their friends hilarious snores, cutting through the awkward tension with an awkward question. he's throwing them a swift glance before staring back towards the road, as if his life depended on it...which he'd argue that it did. "how many times do you write a message out saying you couldn't, before deleting it quickly?"

Look who finally took a crack at trying to draw Johnny Fiama

[adoriels-tears-if]

Zephyr can be mean to you?? The horse ?? Man i rlly need to replay this game lol

Lol ! Yeah. I mean...

Zephyr being mean to you is a big word. It's only from Mc pov.

You need to hate Arthur for this to appear.

[lucid-fate-if]

Usually when I get some form of writer block I skip to writing scenes that excite me or at least entertain me a bit and one that's making me literally cackle in the middle of the night is the parts where Zephyr literally gives to dirty looks like wtf 😭😭😭

Idk what about that is so entertaining to be but holding my snickers in at 2am knocks the wind out of me. There are dialogue options that'll have him looking at you like:

Zephyr Mourningstar’s Full Angelic form

Be not afraid — she just wants to borrow that deer skull .

[bitchfitch]

I wanted to make a post comparing how different characters handled like, the interaction between femininity and their specific brands of queer masculinity but I didn't have the words for any of the ideas I was trying to express so I drew them playing uno instead.

They're all cheating but Bahador is the one who keeps getting caught.

dear god my entire feed on tumblr is about politics now

[sapphicxstarknight]

It had been a quiet night,all things considered today had been one of the most productive that Zephyr could recall. They had gotten the infernal iron to ensure Karlach wouldn’t burn out, saved everyone in Waukeen’s rest and managed to root out the shadow druids in the grove and put Kagha on the right path.

Plus they had saved Barcus and made friends with Lump. Fighting the paladins and the gnolls had came last but they knew where the Zhentarim were and if anyone was going to know where More Infernal Iron would be it would be the seediest syndicate in Faerun.

Installing it and getting back to the grove had been difficult especially on a day where they had already been rushing on empty but knowing that she was approaching okay was enough.

They were sure that they would do anything to make sure that Karlach was okay and the thought of that didn’t scare them.

When they got back to camp and set up for the night Zephyr was just happy to eat and set up their bed but there was something missing. They felt the most alone tonight that they had at camp since this whole affair had started,

Zephyr was always hungry, they always had been since they were a child, that was how Ethel had cursed them. It was usually for meat, for blood, for fights, for company, to not be alone. For love and care and for anything other than the dark.

They knew it was all consuming, they knew one day if they didn’t find Ethel and kill her that they would eventually go feral and die but they figured that was an impossibility.

To just be wanted and to be cared for but with Karlach it was different.Every time they looked at her even after they had a meal.

Which did little for their hunger, they wanted more from her,They wanted to hear her laugh, they wanted to dance with her and see the way her chest glowed when she blushed.

They didn’t care about the way it would hurt them if they touched because they would be near to her and that’s all that mattered.

Fuck this was bad, they knew this was going to get worse and they couldn’t even look away. They had already eaten, They could eat half of the forest even in wild shape and it would still go unsatiated. The tadpole could only help so much when it was this bad and they could feel the hunger starting to take over.

They found themselves on top of her tent hanging upside down. They didn’t mean to startle her but without thinking went to tap her shoulder in an attempt to get their attention. Their finger caught fire.

Gasping in pain they muttered an incantation to put it out before looking her in the eyes. Not even thinking about their burnt finger “Sorry I missed you. I was thinking about you.”

Zephyr immediately realized what they said and then blushed and then continued flustered.” Because I enjoy spending time with you and you’re my favorite.” Zephyr wanted to drown in the lake but they maintained eye contact face as red as the blood they often drank. They stared at her waiting for a reply like a needy puppy beady eyes

Threw this together to show how I view these Dark Matter and their relationships, though I felt too lazy to draw.

Zephyr’s new bio— and new revamp is here — death’s embrace will mostly be unchanged save for a few things like her connection to the st Michael and what she will end up doing in the future , background stuff can remain as is which is background .

Zephyr Mourning

Name: Zephyr M. 
Disability: Moderate to severe deafness /hearing loss .  

Age:only 2 eons ( looks 21-29)

Species: bearded vulture inspired Homonculus ArcAngel /Reaper masquerading as a exorcist ( Hazbin verse )

Non Hazbin verse she’s a Homonculus reaper .

Sex: female presenting but has no defined  gender 

Hair color : orange/redish

eyes: gold, 

Wings:  dark red ish with gray  streaks  , she has 4 , unlike other reapers /exorcists

Facial features: small black cheek marks ( not circles) and black eye liner looking marks .  

Sharp teeth, and hungry glint in her eyes. 

About: her creator Azeral   is  the angel of Death he’s kinda odd/ out there .. very busy and always surrounded by dead things / souls . It’s cause of this he grew curious one day ( a sickness according to him ) and wondered if he still had the same creation powers as his brothers and if it could be used to right a wrong that was personally afflicting him- the first few attempts were miserable and died on the spot until he took the vial he kept in hiding for years full of a certain fallen seraphim’s blood and used it with his magic and what was left after the failed experiments— bearded vulture bones, thus with his power and the blood combined Zephyr was brought into being.

— surrounded by death just like Azrael was, the young fledgling imprinted on the arc Angel. However the feeling wasn’t mutual, this was supposed to be fully grown creation

— Samuel’s blood was unpredictable and thus Zephyr was made to grow like other true born angels. Azzy didn’t expect this and left her alone in a box for most of her younger life letting the few birds that resided with him to take care of her — with him coming in every so often to check on the failed experiment .

For Hazbin : Once he saw she was still alive he took her to the holy orphanage with instructions to find her a place in the hierarchy . Being that she was made by him and thus had an unknown power within her — she was made to be an exorcist until they could find a better place for her . Eventually she will go back

To the reapers to work with him and be his replacement . //

For the death’s embrace verse : where she will be moving in with Delphelden and using her connections to either work at the embassy or still do her reaper job while living with him.

For non Hazbin: Azzy eventually somewhat warms up to her and trains her to work under him as a reaper — adding in Cizero and others once his idea is Officially Green lit.


Weapon: red and black scythe and her own fists and fangs , a knife she calls baby knife . 

Info about her Hearing loss — 

Zeph’s Deafness affects her as follows ( this is taken from how it affects me not all deafness is the same):

Sh/th/Ph/ F, C, Z/S Sounding words are all words she can’t hear correctly cause her ears don’t pick it up. She also can’t hear the crunch of leaves, certain alarm sounds, the microwave going off, knocks on the door sometimes . If you are facing away from her she can’t hear you at all, she has to be able to see you /your lips, or you have to talk a bit loud .

If you call her name and she doesn’t respond chances are she can’t hear it all or it’s not registering to her as her name, a big issue with this is certain words sound like other words or they just end up sounding like noise then actual words.

Speaking loud, and enunciating your words carefully will help her a lot.

She may know some ASL but if no one’s caught on to the fact she’s deaf /been going deaf over time then it’s highly unlikely.

She may also have a speech impediment ( I do) with the certain word sounds she can’t hear, Swords become Sh, and Sh words become S And so on and so forth . This may also feed into her delusion that she is in fact dead, she’s a walking corpse, cotard’s syndrome she has a mild case of it and it does affect her at times .

Johnny Fiama brain rot tonight ladies and gentlemen

[themosthatedbeingg]

{ I finished Zephyr! ^__^ }

[lucid-fate-if]

Social anxiety? Well that surprised me. Your jokes and the way you usually answer to questions doesn't really show it😄 Let's see now.... for one of the questions....

 Who's a character the ROs cannot stand and why? MC as an answer is not allowed

I am a good con artists, am I right heheheheheheh...(I like the idea of me conning my way through said social anxiety. Makes me feel like a spy but on a Mr.Bean movie.)

NOW PRESENTING TO YOU! : "who the ROs might have issues with and why, excluding the MC" :

1. Dante:

Vie Wobblefang. She’s too intense for him. Her dangerous grin and overbearing personality throw him completely off balance. Dante’s all about positivity, jokes and humor, so her menacing aura makes him uncomfortable.

2. Juno:

Kaisen (blank). He can’t stand his teasing and smug demeanor. Juno appreciates sincerity, and Kaisen’s habit of dropping cryptic, playful comments makes them roll his eyes every time.

3. Fai:

Carmona Greyvine. He avoids conflict, but her manipulative tendencies leave a sour taste in his mouth. Even Fai, with his gentle nature, can sense something off about her.

4. Miokai/Miioni:

King Titus of The Vassal Novs (their father). Miokai/Miioni's disdain for their father runs deep. They see him as a manipulative tyrant who views them as a pawn for his political schemes rather than his child. His constant demands for loyalty and perfection alienate M, fueling their hatred. This isn't just familial bitterness; it’s a deep resentment for being denied an identity outside of the king's shadow.

5. Kaisen:

Addo Everheart. Kaisen finds Addo insufferable, not because of the Governor’s achievements but due to his arrogance and tendency to wield his influence carelessly. Kaisen sees Addo as a hypocrite, someone who preaches stability and order yet turns a blind eye to the suffering of those beneath him. Kaisen’s dislike stems from his own struggles with the fractured state of the Vassal Novs.

6. Vie:

Zephyr Everheart. Vie absolutely despises Zephyr, not for who he is personally, but for what he represents. As the new rising symbol of the Kabot Kingdom’s strength and authority, Zephyr is, to her, the living image of the oppressors who have crushed and exploited the Vaygas District. His disciplined, soldierly demeanor is everything she associates with the kingdoms’ stranglehold on freedom. In her eyes, he’s just another cog in the machine of oppression—a polished sword for rulers who see people like her as expendable.

7. Saeko:

Verna Blackwater (Tournament Host). Saeko has no patience for Verna’s overly polished facade and focus on profit over integrity. To Saeko, Verna represents everything wrong with the tournament system—using combatants as pawns to entertain the masses while maintaining a smiling mask. Saeko values honor in combat, and Verna’s approach cheapens the whole experience.

8. Zephyr:

Aspen Koil (Akiyo’s Uncle). Zephyr harbors a deep dislike for Aspen because he represents the kind of carefree, oblivious lifestyle that ignores the bigger picture. To Zephyr, Aspen embodies the lax side of society that fails to recognize how their inaction allows others to exploit and devour what remains of true order. Aspen’s lack of urgency feels like a betrayal to those who carry the weight of responsibility, leaving Zephyr quietly seething at what he sees as willful ignorance.

9. Akiyo:

Octavia Edwards (Sculptor of every Kabot Tournament winner). Akiyo quietly resents Octavia for her elitist attitude. Octavia’s dismissive remarks about Akiyo’s craft being “simpler” or “less refined” cut deep, and while Akiyo doesn’t openly confront her, they can’t stand her arrogance. It’s not just about art—it’s about how Octavia diminishes anything that doesn’t fit her worldview.

CLOSED STARTER

LOCATION: Golden Mile FOR: @ofemeralds

Grant spotted Simone through the window of Zephyr's Wellness. The sight of her working pulled his mind away from the morning's collections. Numbers and threats dissolved into something lighter. Walking into the center brought back memories of last month's shoulder strain. "Looking at patient files or planning your next underground match?" The question came out gruffer than intended. Work mode still clung to his thoughts. Three unpaid debts and a territory dispute had turned the day sour before noon. "Sorry … rough morning. Some people need extra convincing to honor their commitments." The words carried decades of street wisdom. Devil's Junction operated on understood rules - pay what you owe, respect boundaries, handle business quietly. Simple principles that kept the peace. Yet every week someone tested those limits, requiring his particular skills to restore order. Simone's presence offered a welcome break from that world, even if she understood more about the city's darker side than most. "Tell me you've got better stories than my collection rounds … anything involving actual paying clients would work."
