Guess who finally got gened!!
Skin is Mage's Mutations by RandomPurple | Circle bio icon by Limanya
(Copy of the bio text is under the cut)
Things aren't quite right where the Frigid Floes stretch into Arcane territory. The concentration of magic here, melting out of the ice and mixing with saltwater and freezing right back in, carried on the backs of storms and warm currents, it warps the land and anything that moves. It is a volatile sort of place. Changing without will and sinking back into itself. It is a place where survival is a matter of respect or of warping oneself until no one knows where the landscape ends and you, dear traveller, once began.
This is the place where Rheum dwells.
Rheum. The unlikely shadow over the ice. The shape at the edge of your vision that never stays for introductions. The eyes that glance and track and watch but never speak.
Pray that it never does.
No one knows what Rheum is. A shadow, a ghost, a hungry mouth. You do not wish to find out. You should never wish to find out. The lurking shape just out of reach is an inevitability when you walk this place and you should never wish for it to approach. To become more than an easy boogeyman, reminding you of fragile mortality.
You should never wish for it to hunt.
-
Rheum is, easiest said, the apex predator of this strange ecosystem just as much as it is a horror story that keeps wanderers away or, at the very least, sticking close to their companions. Rheum does not care for the name of whatever flesh feeds it.
Expert opinion would consider it a demigod warped by magic and half-feral with it, but expert opinion is also very hard to come by, earning Rheum a thousand names and about as many tales of horror and warning. Not many venture into these lands and return. Even less do so without the fear of something seen out of the corner of their eye.
You are in its domain. Best tread carefully.

Let Jack do some biting and exploding as a little treat. He needs it for enrichment in his environment! Alternatively this is his “hormone driven teen age rebellion/angst” phase. Or he’s threatening to run away and live with Sam.
Assuming you’re referencing my anti-domestic destiel au: yeah 🥰 jack is in just the worst situation here, and he put himself there, sure, he agreed to it, thought it would be okay. but crucially, to me, he also thought it was temporary. and that the love he would experience as Dean & Cas’s actual baby wouldn’t differ that much from what he gets as himself. And when it actually is different, when they treat him different, (maybe there’s more kindness in Dean when he’s holding someone that looks more like a child, maybe Castiel’s more attentive and knows how to handle him better because after all, he planned, he took classes, for a baby) that’s rough! horrible and frustrating!
and since they’re all pretending this is fine and makes them happy, he spends more time than he should playing along and feeling worse and worse about himself. I think things should start breaking around him. His toys all crack and twist into terrible shapes. Blood stains show up on his baby blankets. He cries and glass shatters. (He’s trying so hard to keep it in, but it’s not working, he’s upset and he doesn’t even have an outlet to talk about it or anything because Dean and Cas are fully treating him like the toddler he’s taken the shape of.)
I really think Sam would be his saving grace here because Sam is a reprieve from having to keep up that appearance and act. Sam treats Jack as his son, yes, but also as an adult, because that is what Jack is, fast growth cycle and odd birthday count or not. He doesn’t want to be a child. The window for that has passed. He’s grown up.
(I swear that Jack’s part in this isn’t just me being frustrated with his literal infantilization in popular fanon as a character who’s very obviously (to me, anyway) coded as autistic. I swear. It’s not all that. Just. Most of it.)
Jack running away with Sam would be such a way to kick off the falling apart of this “perfect” life that Dean and Castiel have constructed. Their son up and fucking leaves, goes to live with Sam because he can’t stand how neither of them look at him and actually see who he is rather than who they’d prefer him to be. Maybe jumpstarts a few realizations about the fact that they aren’t seeing each other truthfully either, that they’re both miserable and need to split up before they lose their friendship that’s so important to them as well.
(and of course, for extra drama, Jack should burn their house down. What better way to signify that the Normal Apple Pie Life is coming to an end then a housefire. Dean walks in to check on Jack during the night and instead of a baby, there’s Jack standing there next to his small bed, eyes burning gold and neither of them can say anything before the whole room explodes into flame. (Which Jack is very upset about. He didn’t mean that to happen. (He’s glad that it did.) He just lost control.)
but also just in general even outside of this au, jack should be allowed to bite people <3 it’s good for him <3 he gets his bloodthirsty urges to tear out people’s throats from his dad! (sam)

leoidevil friendship headcanons
two posts so soon?? no wayyy
everyone seems to love their dynamic in penned in ink (deserved, i love them) so i decided to give you some fun, general hcs about the mean girls of all
warnings: swearing? i think thats it. wow, go me
they share a steady HBIC rotation
they respect each other so much but it will never look like it (bc seven forbid they show love and compassion and care in clown school, right?)
insults in this group = love. the more unhinged, the more it means they care for each other
aka if you try to break them up bc they look like they're going to throw hands they'll flip the narrative as if you are the crazy one for thinking they're genuinely fighting
do you see why these three are always split up in events now?
leovil are constantly using honey, dear, and sweetie in their arguments (derogatory)
once, when particularly annoyed, idia called them mom and dad bc 1. they remind him of his parents and 2. he hoped it would be weird enough to change the topic but no, leovil are running with it
there's made up lore about how idia was adopted. the story changes every time. so far, idias been a double orphan, picked up at a dumpster, cloned, picked up from the lost and found, and at some point he was biologically related to that fire lizard from frozen 2
leona regularly gifts idia super expensive jewelry. he receives a bunch of them and believes idia would have something better to do with them than he can (idia uses them for cosplay and hands some off to ortho because he likes the way it shines)
and the gifts progressively get very specific to idias interests but the chances of the court giving the second prince a custom headset (conveniently aligned with idias interests) seems relatively low
vil vehemently refuses the charity but will not say no to exclusive afterglow savanna garments (she wants to feel special and leona isn't thaaat opposed to it)
whenever someone offhandedly mentions that they got their eyes on something, its a race to see who can get it first
and bc vil is a sentimental one, his room is FILLED with trinkets and photos of his outings
leovil is always caught up on idias current obsessions, with leona knowing the key plot points and vil only knowing the names and faces
idia would not stfu abt this con and leovil didn't have time to pretend like it was annoying bc they do NOT KNOW who to go as (presumably idia just wanted to talk or maybe get one of them to go to the con for him but the girls were not having that)
like these two binged Idia's 'show of the month' and were having so much trouble figuring out who his favourite characters were, but ultimately settled for the main character and her friends
idia LOVEDD the surprise even though he has like, no clue who tf they were cosplaying (turns out leovil remembered the title completely wrong)
leovil were hella committed to keeping up their character while idia was too busy running around like an excited puppy
vil always carried around a bunch of tampons for his classmates but has a seperate pouch for leona & idia (bc they have nice patterned packaging. that's it)
leona's homescreen is a photo of them wearing mouse-ear shades. they all look so cool (leona has not revealed the lockscreen to anyone)
vil always lends his products to his friends because besties share everything (he even has specific formulas he's custom made for them! vil's never ever EVER gonna give them away tho bc then he wont have an excuse for an impromptu skincare session LMAOO)
leona's the designated everything holder bc idias backpack is always filled with random junk and his posture is terrible and he's the only one who can apparently 'treat vil's purse with respect' (he complains about it though)
even if they weren't important, i feel like if they got group kidnapped, they'd bully the kidnapper so hard that they'd be let go unharmed and the kidnapper would be in tears
leona has ALLLL the tea and it takes a swipe from idia to verify the facts. with rumours, vil can pinpoint exactly who is being talked about, down the the dorm, year, and class number
idia sits in between the custody battle for epel and jack DAILY. but the silly thing is whenever idia chimes in with a perfectly reasonable idea (like say, flip a coin), leovil suddenly get along again just to say it's a dumb idea (its not)
idia and leona have sibling solidarity and bc vil is an only child they exercise their sibling rights just to tell vil complete lies (aka, anything vil does, like sneezing, will receive a comment like 'if you sneeze more than 4 times a day, it means you're awakening a ghost')
and they're committed to the bit. idia will absolutely forge research articles and leona will claim his fifth-cousin-twice-removed had mysteriously gone missing because of it
when vil's feeling down they do not gas the queen up (she already knows it, hun). they let vil raid their closets to pick out their outfits for a photoshoot
when vil's not in the mood for THAT then its a code red. leoide will dress themselves up so good that vil feels underdressed so now he HASSS to go on their impromptu outing. peer pressure wins again
the gossip sessions over shaved ice or any kind of dessert go CRAZY in this trio, like they're so loud bc the tea is outrageous and you want to be mad but at the same time, go on, i gotta hear more
idias ideal hangout is a self-care day. they'll all wear facemasks and idia will do everyone's nails and they all gossip
sometimes idia will come up with a theory, like that sam is from another world, and vil will say it's bogus but ends up feeding more evidence for the theory
once vil beat idia in a video game (that idia was a pro at, mind you) on the first try and idia declared their friendship over
vil and idia are video game buddies but not past the AMs bc vil has a bed time (leona's still salty about the cats & videogames comparison so he only watches)
vil and idia fight over custody of ortho all the time but leona just uses the distraction to get ortho to leak all the juicy secrets
other than that vil and ortho are doing evil potion making aka finding creative ways go sneak veggies in leoides food
the trio never have any real drama so they always end up 'fighting' each other over the stupidest shit. like the way they tie their shoes, the typo they just made, or how loud they breathe
whenever one of them is seriously down, it's always a bad-cop/good-cop situation bc getting too serious makes these emotionally stunted losers feel icky
they do talk about their feelings though, but it never turns into a pity party
idia LOOOVES being dramatic tho and will set the stage for his sob story only for it to be that the cashier didn't wish him a good day
vil will use idia's lingo for the shock factor and pretends it never happened after and leona will pretend like he didn't like that his time got wasted but will reassure him. and by reassure i mean he stands w idia in line and says 'have a good day' to the cashiers so they'll say 'you too'
and no idc what u say, idia will chat shit about everyones crushes but will do one of two things: A. be besties w them if his friends end up dating and B. have a crush on the BAREEE MINIMUM
okay i joke a lot but leoidevil all keep each other in check and strive to uplift & become the best version of themselves
its three different flavours of self-hatred all communicating with each other
and they will still preach self-love (leona bc he thinks they deserve better, idia bc he gave up but that doesnt mean his loved ones have to, and vil bc he believes you will never be at a satisfactory point in ur life if you dont make amends with yourself)
btw they have a very elaborate plan to go to therapy together and a back up plan if they happen to end up at the ward instead
friendship bracelets but its the admission wrist bands
all in all, the whole school is afraid of this power trio but they're just super weird together
12/10 leovil still have pictures of idia's phantom bride wedding day
if there's other groupings or ships you want me to do hcs for, send me an ask! i love exploring character dynamics smmm this will definitely be a new series of mine
