My Agents

So, like a lot of splatoon people, I've got my own takes on the Agents. They started out as just a few additional character traits on top of the canon agents, but quickly spiraled out into a lot more fully formed characters.

These characters are presented as they are in the middle arc of my story Breakpoints [insert link]. The first arc retells the stories of Splat 1, 2, and OE, if you want to know how they got to where they are, check out the story!

Agent 3: Quinn

(unfortunately Quinn does not have a ref yet, though one is currently being produced!)

Quinn moved to Inkopolis to get a new start as a new squid. It admittedly wasn't going so well until he followed a weird old man through the sewers and became Agent 3 of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. (Earning himself a surrogate grandpa, and later two surrogate sisters in the process.)

Quinn is light hearted, but direct. He intends to meet problems head on, and is willing to plant his feet and be stubborn when he needs to.

Unfortunately, as a result of the partial sanitization in the metro, the connection between his brain and the muscles in his face were severely damaged, leaving him unable to emote or talk without explicit and deliberate effort.

Quinn remains doggedly committed to the NSS, staying as the only 24/7/365 active member, a trait that doesn't go unnoticed by Captain Cuttlefish.

Agent 4: Nora Sheller

Art by Nalina-nw!

Nora left her home of 5 siblings to try and make a name for herself. As a result of co-parenting her 4 younger brothers, Nora is compassionate to a fault, a trait that actually doesn't backfire when she chases a strange woman through a sewer grate. From there, she settled into a comfortable routine with this apparently famous woman, trying to save her cousin.

Nora's emotionally intelligent, save for her own emotions, which she's almost completely blind too. She's lighthearted and quick to joke around, she easily becomes best friends with Callie after she's saved. An accident on a mission leaves her leg permanently injured, which ends up causing an entire torrent of quiet self-worth issues in the background.

Agent 8: Clover

Art by Scratch-o!

Arai, as was her name in the domes, was a brutal, no-nonsense soldier, who just wanted to push through and get done with her service. Repeated instances of her faith being shaken in octavian society around her, as well as a particularly biting betrayal from one of her squadmates leaves her utterly disillusioned with the military.

When she falls into the metro, she loses her memory, but those negative emotions still linger. Now dubbed Agent 8, she resolved to complete the tests so that Craig can make it to the surface, but ultimately she doesn't see any worth in her own freedom. During the fight with sanitized Agent 3, nearly being perma-killed inspires a desperate need to live, which now fuels her every step on the surface.

She takes the name Clover when she reaches the surface. (Mostly) gone now is the brutal, no fun attitude from before, now Clover basks in life and all the small joys it can bring.

Agent 9!?: Mavi

(Pictured here without her glasses) Art by Antsyandpantsy!

Mavi's life fell apart when her dad died. She spent several years in a mental fog until her home situation got so bad she was broken out of by sheer necessity. She still has a stutter as a result of that time, which coupled with her already timid nature paints a rather unassuming figure.

Her friends, both in and out of her turf team, helped her get her feet back under her. She lived rather passively for a while, working as a cashier at the official Squid Sister's merch store, until her close friend Nora needed her help. The world of the New Squidbeak Splatoon is revealed to her, and Mavi is left to make a choice.

She chooses to take some hold over her life, joining the Splatoon to enthusiasm all around! Now she has to learn how to catch up with the other agents, and hopefully before the octavians try to pull a new stunt...

[raging-soul-of-fire]

Aura kneels down in front of her small shrine, having spent the last hour in meditation. Her thoughts having been pushed away, she lets them flow back as she returns to the present.

Her hammer sits nearby, a weapon of her paladin training, but rarely used. She grew up in relative safety and protection, so there was little value to her martial training. The oni took more to the philosophy, which saw a lot more practice in her life. She stands, picking up the hammer and setting it with her armor. One of her finer works. Simple in design, but able to get a nice shine with some extra care.

She sits back down. What would her life be when she marries Asta? Would she be a noble? That part didn’t really sit well with her, as she was so used to her lifestyle free from the courtiers, but it may well be unavoidable or make her reflect poorly for Asta. She would need to try and make herself as presentable as possible for her when it came to such things. She would need to keep her eyes open to learn, and to keep close to Asta and support her however she can.

Of course, she would do so, anyway. She had considered applying to become a defender for the royals if her proposal was rejected in order to still aid her friend. But her disposition really made her a better fit as a blacksmith. Perhaps she would have trained to outfit their armory. Her instructor in the art and philosophy of the paladin once wondered why Aura didn’t simply try to be a cleric, given her aversion to fighting. She wanted to protect her family, but her family was all quite capable of defending themselves.

She was thankful to not have to worry about such things. Asta permitted her to be by her side. That was plenty for her. But she couldn’t help worrying a little about what the future might hold. Jin and Nalina were already living together. Should she ask Asta if they should do that, too? Or would the princess living with another be too much of a scandal? They already had a place to live in mind and it wouldn’t be too much trouble for the oni to move in.

Aura perks up, pulled from her thoughts when she sees Asta out and about. She heads over to join her, following her like a big puppy.

ANOTHER LOOK

The artwork collected in the Whitney Biennial 2022, Quiet as it's Kept, has a private air about it, as if weren't intended to be seen or sold in a gallery, but only to record the creators' personal anxieties and concerns. The works, from 63 contemporary American artists and collectives, span all media. But almost all have the sensibility of an installation, of an assemblage of materials to be experienced physically rather than a unified object to be contemplated intellectually. It's not individual works that impress but their collective, harmonic force. The works are eccentric to the point of disorder, most deliberately turning from traditional media, occupying a deliberately anti-aesthetic scale larger than the canvas and smaller than a single-car garage. Their collective force speaks powerfully, in tone if not its specifics, to the chaos, violence, materiality, energy, sadness and hope of American life right now. And that's quite an achievement.

The installation, spread over three floors in the Renzo Piano super-structure, is elegant. Each floor is fitted out differently, calling out its distinct architectural pleasures and views. The sixth floor has a low ceiling with dark walls and small cave-like galleries. One slips quietly through. The fifth floor has huge ceilings with windows opening west that pull one through, ducking in and out of larger, rather bombastic, installations. They lead one, unexpectedly, out on the north balcony and a dazzling overlook of the Hudson River.

I was underwhelmed when the new museum building opened in 2015. It seemed huge and hubristic, like a shipwreck off Eleventh Avenue, without a face or heart. The opening exhibit, a survey of works from the broad and uneven permanent collection, filled the galleries without focus. Because of the larger-than-the-body scale of so much contemporary work, the Biennial occupies the floors well. The open, seemingly unending, grids of light tracks hung from the ceilings evoke the iconic coffered ceilings of the museum's former home on Madison Avenue. And it vividly recalls an era of conceptual art when American art was at the forefront, clearing the ground theoretically to make so much of the Biennial artwork possible . Walking through the show, the building unified and gave pleasure. Its great bulk lifts and envelops, giving fresh perspective.

⟣ Ran Haitani x f!reader

⟣ wc:1.6k

⟣ cw: violence & a little bit of blood, cat calling, sexual harassment

⟣ a/n: ~this is reposted. hopefully the tags work now~ yeah so there is no smut to be found here just uh… Ran defending you with his baton(I’m sorry I’m a whore for a man using violence for me…. don’t worry about it).. future Ran but he has longer hair still because I said so. Probably going to make a part2 with some smut at some point because he deserves it. This was written with NalinA-Block B on repeat at 4am while buzzed so… take that how you will lmao please forgive any mistakes

 The sound of pencil scratching on paper was all you focused on as you tried to capture the daily flow of people coursing through Roppongi outside the ramen shop you frequented. Art was your way of escaping for a little while and sometimes you couldn’t help but get caught up in it and completely lose track of time, much to your boyfriend’s annoyance. He trusted you and knew you were relatively safe, most people would recognize you after all. That doesn’t mean he never has any worries - he was all too familiar with the types of people that frequented the district when night fell.

 The shop owner coming out to ask if you needed another drink was the only thing that brought you back to reality, blinking around taking in your surroundings as you realized it was quite dark now. Shit, you thought. Fishing your phone out of your purse you texted Ran, asking if he would be able to meet you somewhere to walk you back to your shared home. Walking was always easier down here than driving, and knowing Ran he was working somewhere nearby anyways. A quick response dinged through your phone telling you what intersection he would meet you at, so you began heading that way.

 A couple minutes into your walk you became aware of eyes on you - many of them at that. Your speed slightly increases but not so much as to draw more attention to you. The conversation you overheard earlier in the day about new ‘hooligans’ hanging around swam to the surface of your mind and you hoped that wasn’t the source of the stares you felt. It was true most people around here knew who you were - the perks of dating someone like Ran. But new guys wouldn’t necessarily know or care just yet. The reputation of the brothers is large, pretty much anyone could tell you about them. But there are always the ones who haven’t met the Haitani’s and therefore just brushed it off. Can’t be that bad they’d think.

 Cursing yourself for getting so caught up in your drawing and forgetting the time, you rounded a corner and came face to face with a couple guys who seemed to be waiting for you. A whistle sounded out as they appraised you, eyes raking over every part of you as you heard others come up behind, effectively blocking off a retreat. You resisted the urge to roll your eyes at them, you weren’t even wearing anything revealing. But you knew you shouldn’t provoke them, especially when you didn’t know where Ran was. Luckily for you though, the intersection you were supposed to meet at was in your view down the street.

 “What have we got here?” one of them questioned, moving up to circle around you, like a wolf around an innocent bunny. Innocent you were.. Well mostly, but they didn’t need to know that just yet. They all kept their distance aside from the one who seemed like the supposed ‘leader’ of this little excuse for a group. You tried to keep your eyes away from where you hoped to see Ran appear from. Depending on where he was working today he could be here any second, or it could take another ten minutes. You hoped for the former.

 “You shouldn’t be out this late alone ya know,” the same guy said, moving closer still to you. Seemed he was testing the waters, so he wasn’t completely stupid. If no one touched you, the night might end ok, depending on your boyfriend’s mood. The thought of him being livid swam in your mind though and well.. it excited you more than it should. The rumors surrounding the brothers were nothing compared to the reality - it’s how they kept peace around here. Newbies learned quickly, and it seemed these ones would learn extra fast.

    You saw the swing of Ran’s hair as he rounded the corner at the same time you felt an unwelcome hand land on your ass and squeeze. Any light in your boyfriend’s eyes was drained so fast you’d think it was never there to begin with. They hadn’t even realized he was there yet, and you couldn’t help but let out a giggle, which your poor assailant thought was meant for him. “Oh? You like that huh? How about-” you didn’t get to hear the rest as a blur of purple popped up out of nowhere and the hand on your ass disappeared.

 The grimy unsuspecting guy was on the ground immediately, Rindou holding him in what looked like a very uncomfortable position. “Hey guess we were just in time,” he said brightly to you. Smirking, you turned to Ran who was snapping his wrist out to extend his baton before placing it casually on his shoulder.

 Newbies or not, these guys instantly recognized Ran and Rindou, probably based on appearance alone from rumors and they scattered like deer in a wildfire. The supposed leader looked bewildered at how fast they abandoned him while his mind worked to comprehend what was happening. You watched his eyes take in Ran, who was standing next to you now with his unoccupied arm thrown around your waist. If ever there was a time a lightbulb went off in someone’s head it was now as the guy’s face went pale and he started sputtering out excuses. “It’s not what you think.. I, I’m sorry I, please give me a second to explain.. Um it’s”, he shut up instantly as Ran swung his baton down, the tip of it stopping just short of the guy’s nose.

  Ran’s gaze slid over you slowly, making you feel warm. He seemed happy to see no injuries on you and turned back to the sleazebag on the ground. Rindou was still holding him down before letting out a disgusted scoff and adjusting his position away from the guy’s legs. “Awh man come on really, ya pissed yourself? Are we that scary? We haven’t even done anything yet.”

 You know you should feel bad for the guy, any normal person probably would. He had only touched you once and said a few words, nothing too serious. But there was a reason why you were even with Ran Haitani to begin with. It’s not your fault that he didn’t know who you were.

 Ran looked down at the guy, expressionless face curling into a small smirk as he bent down closer to his face. “Ya know what, I’ll give you a small chance of making it out of here unharmed,” he paused for effect before turning and meeting your eyes. “Baby, what do ya say? Should we let him go?”

 The funniest part of all of this to you was the look of relief that flashed through the guys eyes. He genuinely thought that you would agree and let him off the hook. “ I don’t know baby, he touched me.. I don’t think I can forgive that.” You met the punk’s eyes as you said it, amused by the confusion on his face.

 “It was this hand right? The one he grabbed you with?” Rindou asked as he adjusted his grip to bring his left hand out onto the pavement. Nodding your response you stepped back a little. You didn’t think it’d be that bloody but just in case, you really liked the shirt you wore and you didn’t wanna deal with getting blood out of it.

 “Wait wait hold on - I- I think we can come to an understanding,” the guy pleaded while looking at you. Seems he still thought you were his saving grace.

 The light tapping of Ran’s baton across his knuckles brought him back to the present. “Sorry pal, but what she says goes. I’d advise you to remember all of our faces after this, unless you wanna  find yourself in this position again that is.” He opened his mouth to respond but instead of words, all that came was a shrill pained scream as the baton came down sharply across his hand twice in quick succession accompanied by a sickening cracking sound - his bones. “You’re going to remember who she is right?” Ran questions with no expression on his serene face, watching him writhe in pain as much as Rindou would let him.

 Probably in too much pain, he didn’t respond which wasn’t the right choice. A frown creased over Ran’s pretty face as he snapped the baton back down for a third time, more bones crunching. No one was even around to help, as soon as the brothers made their appearance, everyone scattered - as they should. “Let me ask you again, ya gonna remember - “

 “Yes God yes, I’ll remember her face,” the guy said, panting out between gasps of air.

 Ran considered his answer for a minute before standing up and nodding, motioning for Rindou to move. The guy grunted in pain, rolling himself onto his back while cradling his mangled hand on his chest. His eyes closed as he breathed in, trying to calm himself down and thinking he was good to go. At least until he let out one more ear piercing scream as Ran swung down once more full force onto one of his kneecaps.

 He shook the blood off his baton before collapsing it and putting it away. “That was for interrupting me.” The fear in the guy’s eyes was something to behold as he watched Ran embrace you, once again checking that you were ok. He looked back down at him once more. “Let this be a lesson to not ever disrespect the queen of Roppongi.”

[ye-xiu]

moots as seventeen members? you as what member? ignore this if it’s too much. i saw you had fun with the last one!

jhzgtfrdftgzhu glad to be back for round 2 let's gooooo 💞

@coupsnim and s.coups: once more the cheol support squad coming through, but i still stand by him deserving to have someone around him who (realistically and enthusiastically) tells him what an amazing job he is doing every day. on the other hand, izzie is a very creative and visually expressive person and i think that would break open cheol's more rational approach to even art. they make up for what the other lacks.

@soonshuas and jeonghan: hana and hannie's names already go well together, which is proof i am correct. hana brings a lot of energy and life to my dash and i think jeonghan has a similar vibe to him. in this case, it's the both of them feeding off each other's energy while keeping their own cosmos of chaos in check.

@loversmore and joshua: ems is such a gentle and soft soul, really balanced and in touch with everything that hums as the undercurrent of life, and joshua is someone who appreciates the finer things as well as the joy that can be found in such simplicity. both together remind me of a finely curated art installation of just two people vibing with each other.

@widerthandistance and jun: nina is one of the few people on planet earth naturally gifted to deal with the fickle tides of a gemini's communicative needs and moods. and nina is also one of the funniest people i know, so i think her and jun would balance each other well. they also both have particular curiosity to music as well as the world in general so i imagine they'd learn about a ton of new stuff just from sharing fun facts.

@kihyuun and hoshi: proving yourself worthy of surviving another gemini's penchant for mass-texting at 2am or not breathing a sound for ten hours, nalina would deffo be a person to just have an easy time with hoshi. both of them are artists (capital A artists) and very dedicated to their crafts while being so so supportive and loving towards everyone around them, they'd extend the same loveliness towards the other and their work.

@awek-s and woozi: guys born in november ........... mad respect for all that entails (jk). but it's true i have tons of respect for woozi's artistic drive and what i have seen from alex, he shares a similar no nonsense approach and directness that many people might think is too much, but that would be right at home here.

@dokyom and dk: just two people who have so much love and so much joy and so much sun inside of them. i always alike dk to the sun and izy has been nothing but welcoming and expressive and kind ever since i joined the fandom. they both carry joy.

@seveanteen and mingyu: jen is such a lovely person and mingyu is a person that soaks up love and kindness like a flower staring directly at the sun. this would be a very fun combination bc i think mingyu gets jen out of her shell while jen reigns him back in when he gets a little too chaotic with everything.

@7ww and minghao: two artists! two very visually expressive and creative forces! while minghao leans into a more whimsical expression of his tastes, he also has these bursts of street-fashion-pop-art-urban energy that i always feel when i look at yasmin's edits. there's a lot of creative energy here that i think would be cool.

@bisexualhobi and vernon: ana, i know you think vernon is supreme boring, but both you and him (and me) talk like pitchfork music critiques and just love music and everything that is needed to create music so much. i think you'd be very good at picking each other's brains for hours. it's also fun for me to imagine your very energetic presence around the most chill dude in kpop. <3

@merry-kwanmas and seungkwan: this doesn't count as a cheat answer bc it is simply not my fault that mars and seungkwan give off the same vibe which is i-can-sit-at-a-table-for-13-and-still-be-the-best-known-person-in-the-room in a way that just exudes warmth like a space heater. and i think is a very valuable and scary power to have.

@beomsdaisies and dino: very bright, very energetic, very artistic and just generally very open hearted people, i think. dino can be a bit too tough on himself and bie would probably manage to comfortingly coax him back to earth while dino in return would also cheer them on more than anyone else. this is just such a bright and funny and joyful duo.

now we're all very smart and notice i have left someone out and that's wonwoo. i am the closest to wonwoo in personality, so i would always see myself as him (and have the easiest time around him). he's very quiet in crowds, but deeply supportive and present for the people in his life. he is a tough worker but also someone who enjoys the little things he does love. he's also a catboy, which ... cats are important! he gets that! and we are also just nerds lmao.

Thunderfam Appreciation Post

I’m giving this a new post to prevent scroll city, but the original and several reblogs can be found by clicking the above link. Also, it’s an excuse to post a piccy of Virg cos any excuse, really :D

Many thanks to @willow-salix for writing this question list :D

Before I start, I just want to say that I value every member of this fandom. I’m often hopeless at communicating in group settings so I don’t speak to many peeps, but that is my failing, not anyone else’s. You are an amazing group and you have supported me and each other just brilliantly over the last nearly three years that I have been hanging with you guys. Thank you ever so much for all your wonderful support and encouragement. I’ve had so much fun and created so much stuff…you guys are amazing. Thunderfam rock!

Please note that my memory is pathetic and I will fail to mention everyone. Please do not take any offence if you aren’t listed below. That does not mean I don’t value you, I do, it just means I have swiss cheese between my ears.

-o-o-o-

Your favourite writer of your favourite boy.

@i-am-chidorixblossom  You are a whumper and comforter after my soul. You speak the Virg :D @vegetacide I adore your turn of phrase and your description is to die for.

The person who's stories you will always read.

I try to read most fics that come across my dash, but there are a few that have me jumping up and down. @i-am-chidorixblossom , @vegetacide , @tsarinatorment , @scribbles97 , @the-lady-razorsharp , @janetm74 Of course, I regularly fail at this as some of you write a huge amount of fic and I am often playing catch up, but fic!

Who wrote the first fic you read in this fandom.

I landed on FF.net back in May 2018. I immediately ran into @the-lady-razorsharp who I knew from another fandom ten years prior and she was absolutely wonderful, drawing me in and introducing me around. I gobbled up several of her fics in the process.

Person you can talk to for the longest without a break.

I am hard to get started, persistence is required, but once started, it is usually hard to shut me up. @scribbles97 @vegetacide and @tsarinatorment have all discovered that. Dangle a Virg, a plotline and stand back.

Person you can't be trusted to be left alone with.

Um, @vegetacide and I have plotted out the entirety of Warm Rain together…poor Virg. Add @the-lady-razorsharp into the equation and Virgil ends up with a beard, dressed in leather and riding a Harley – that was a hilarious evening.  Between @tsarinatorment and @janetm74 Virgil gets grey hairs and has to go rescue Scott – because Scott inevitably ends up in the story :D  @scribbles97 gets the blame for Gentle Rain – expand your horizons she said ::headdesk:: But then there was the time I left one random line about Eos visiting Virgil in the shower and went to bed. I woke up to hilarity and chaos as Thunderfam took the idea and ran with it! Love you guys :D

Person whose fic made you cry the most.

I know there were at least two fics that made me cry, but for the life of me I can’t identify them. I did cry writing my own fic – Flannel – and don’t tend to reread it for that reason. Purupuss traumatised me with A Quiet Day to the point I had to put it down and walk away for a bit ::wails::

Person whose fic made you laugh the most.

I have no idea. I know there are fic out there and I know I’ve read it, but without a complete list of everything I’ve read, I don’t have a clue.

Person whose fic made you think the most.

Aaaargh, I don’t have a master list so can’t remember everything. Staring at my paltry favourites list on FF.net (which was mostly gathered three years ago and never maintained), Purupuss’ ‘Brothers in Arms’ and her whole Quiet series has me wanting to write a Scott-Virgil telepathic fic (and she has given me permission to run with the idea, I just haven’t actioned it yet). Counterpoint by Swallow and Amazon is amazing and likely contributed to Sotto Voce.

Person you have laughed with the most.

I’m really not liking this ultimate one person idea. I’ve laughed with a lot of people in this fandom. I’ve candy cannoned a bunch of you as well :P There has been mad plot cackling, evil conspiring, fic written to stir pots and delight on purpose. Hell, I’ve even written fic that was purposefully a giant virtual hug because I’m so far away that even if half the world wasn’t in isolation, I couldn’t hug most of you. Sure, I talk with some of you more than others, and there is laughter in those chats…oh, god, so much cackling, poor, poor Tracy boys. But then there are also so many smiles both vocalised and not. Thunderfam is one of my happy places. Bring on the belly laughs :D

Your comfort fic that you'll go back and read again on a bad day.

I will often resort to my own fic when I’m really down simply because it helps me get to sleep :D and it is kinda tailored to me ::grins::  (and my memory is that bad I often forget what I wrote anyway – yes, it is that bad) But there are also a few on my FF.net favourites list. Mostly hurt/comfort in a Virg flavour. Cheesycheese, nhsweetcherry, A Small Rescue by Nalina, Breathe Easy and Under the Weather by @loopstagirl – several of hers, in fact – the Virg ones :D Pretty much anything that has Virg fainting and being looked after apparently :D Chiddi and Veggie fic, of course.

Favourite piece of fan art.

I have never been so honoured by artists before. This fandom has some amazing skills and I have been gifted some beautiful works. You guys are amazing (I keep saying it like a broken record, but you are).

Again, I’m stuck on having to list one and I can’t. I think Fanart Appreciation Month in January pretty much summed up my opinion.

Who have you known the longest in the fandom.

@the-lady-razorsharp followed by @vegetacide both wonderful peeps. I can’t miss out on @weirdburketeer either for her amazing support almost from day one.

Favourite OC.

I have to say that I really enjoy reading about Ray from @i-am-chidorixblossom ‘s fics :D He is so gentle and kind and just ::sigh:: Virg likes him lots :D Selene by @willow-salix is, of course, a major presence in the fandom and amazingly written. @hedwigstalons ‘ Claire is lovely.

Person who supports your work the most.

The Thunderfam? There have been some wonderful people who support all the time. @hedwigstalons  @cg29 @janetm74 @weirdburketeer in particular have been amazing support liking and commenting on just about everything I write. I honestly don’t know how they do it. Plus several peeps over on FF.net and Ao3 who support me over there.

And then there are the poor souls who put up with me in chat and listen to my wibblies and whining and character checks and field random chunks of writing that get thrown their way. @scribbles97 @vegetacide @the-lady-razorsharp  @tsarinatorment @i-am-chidorixblossom @onereyofstarlight @godsliltippy  @willow-salix @janetm74 all have had random passages thrown at them at all times of the day and night by a crazy me begging for feedback. Does this work? Is this in character? Am I insane? What the hell is Scott doing? Is this John??? I give up, tell me what to do? Virgil is driving me insane! So, um, yeah

Person who's progress you are the most proud of.

I love those peeps who appear in fandom who start off poking around commenting and generally being lovely and then all of a sudden get out their own pens and start writing and they are frickin’ amazing! Both @janetm74 and @hedwigstalons come to mind in this department. Like holy cow – ‘here is my first fic and I’m not sure’ ::reads it:: Omigod! Where did you come from? That was amazing. Sit down here now, keep doing that writing thing, bloody hell! I think being brave enough to pick up a pen and join in is a major thing :D

Person who's story you think is underrated and should be read by more people.

If I find fic I like, I reblog it and shout about it. What I like is definitely skewed in a Virgil direction and this dictates often what I’m going to read first. I can’t reblog what I haven’t read. So, this equation will always be skewed by ‘reasons I haven’t read a fic’ which mostly involves either Virgil or the fact I’m juggling RL. So, my answer to this is if I think a fic needs to be shouted about, I shout about it.

Something you think people would say about you.

She’s nutty.

Silliest 'thing' you do with someone.

I’ve been known to write fic on the fly directly into chat windows to try and distract peeps going through shitty times.

Favourite pairing you now Stan because of someone's fic.

Virgil/Kayo because of @vegetacide for reasons I have blamed her for multiple times. @the-lady-razorsharp and @weirdburketeer were accessories to the fact.

Favourite headcanon from someone's fic.

Um, Virgil and coffee? I got that from somewhere and it has infiltrated my fic…a lot.

Ultimately, though, I feel most people I interact with contribute to my fic and how I’m feeling. This has been a wonderful experience. I try to return the support as much as I can, but sometimes it is a juggle between writing more, my stupid fluctuating mood, the demands of RL and my own creative drive. I hope I’ve helped a few peeps, because you guys have certainly helped me ::major group hug::

And yes, I hug a lot, because to be honest, I have no other descriptor to communicate how I feel, so you get buckets of hugs :D

Tagging the Thunderfam. Feel free to grab these questions and run with them. You’re all part of the gang whether you write, read, art, gif, screenshot, chat, babble, stare at Virgil all day...I know I do a lot of staring.

Nutty

✧ 002  — HONORARY UNCLE COPPER

The deaths of Nalina and Zaheer saw to Fox being left in the hands of a fellow clansman who was no more than six years older than Fox himself. Orphaned at the age of eight, Copper who was only fourteen was the big brother, or Uncle, Fox never knew he needed.

It is his time spent with Copper where Fox learned how to navigate his surroundings and to adapt and grow with his disability, so he can be better prepared and hold life skills in his hands that would see to him having a successful and prosperous life. He learned how to scrimshaw, carving bones where he was dependent on touch. Every piece made into jewelry of which could be sold within the clan, during trades with other settlements or at the City of Vacuo.

Copper took the time to teach Fox how to fight. Showing him how to use his entire body to his advantage by engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Training with Copper allowed Fox to master the art of Muay Thai. Fox would argue that he fights best bare footed.

With learning how to fight, Fox unlocked his semblance Telepathy during his time spent with Copper. It is with Copper than Fox learned everything he needed to know about aura and semblances. He learned about Huntsmen and Huntresses, aspirations and goals set with the stories told.

However. Copper was under the firm belief that while Telepathy was a great asset for Fox, Fox should not become reliant or dependent on his semblance. His low aura reserve limits his capabilities and the longevity of it’s use and Fox needed to be capable of surviving. Telepathy is a luxury, and Fox should be grateful that his semblance can support him but the world is not kind and as quick as he was to unlock it, is as quick as it can be taken from him.

To be strong, Fox needed to be capable and trusting of himself, before others and his semblance.

Fox would describes Copper as someone who exemplified tough love. Copper only wants the best for people and in order to bring out the best in a person, he would push them to their limits and deliver the hard truths and facts nobody wanted to hear.

Out of all their practice matches, Fox has only won three times.

Blood Bonds 3

As promised another Blood Bonds post for this weekend. This finishes up the first little opening scene before we get into the bulk of the story. Hope you enjoy!

INT. RAYHAN PALACE, HALLWAYS - CONTINUOUS

Two palace guards hold the giant double doors of the palace open as Nalina enters. She nods and smiles to them but they don't seem to react. Once through, the guards close the doors returning to their post on the outside of the door. 

The palace is very grand with high ceilings and beautiful pieces of art from Rayhan's history adorning the walls and nestled in the arched alcoves throughout the halls. Every so often guards are stationed to keep guard throughout the palace. Ready to respond to any disturbance at a moments notice.

Nalina walks slowly and opens her book. She knows these halls very well and doesn't need to look where she is going to find her way. Plus having her nose in the book means she doesn't have to see the stares of the guards as she passes them. She quickly becomes engrossed in her book and doesn't hear the sound of footsteps rapidly approaching.

Remus comes running down the hallway from behind Nalina. It appears he's been running for a little bit in his search for her.

REMUS: Nalina!

It isn't until Remus reaches her and touches her shoulder that Nalina notices him. She looks surprised to see him, but quickly notices a slight look of panic on his face and immediately starts to worry. 

NALINA: Remus, what's wrong? Is Aidan ok?

REMUS: (slightly out of breath) Oh yeah he's fine but I need you to come with me. 

Remus grabs Nalina's hand and starts pulling her down the hallway. They make a few turns along the way Remus running as fast as he can with Nalina still being dragged behind. Eventually they come to a stop in the middle of a hallway. There are no guards to be seen and Nalina recognizes this as an area that goes relatively unused. 

NALINA: What are we doing here?

Remus doesn't respond as he let's go of Nalina and pulls back a tapestry on the wall. He puts his palm flat against the stone and a glowing circle appears on the wall around it. He raises his hand and draws a symbol within the circle using his finger. Two lines shoot out from it going straight up and down. They meet again about 3 feet to the left of where the circle is after drawing a large rectangle on the wall. The stone disappears creating a doorway for them to pass through. Remus grabs Nalina's hand again and pulls her through the opening.

INT. RAYHAN PALACE, SECRET CHAMBER - CONTINUOUS

Directly through the opening is a set of narrow old stone stairs running along a curved wall. There's no railing on them so they're open to the circular room. The room is fairly barren except for some curtains hanging against the wall opposite the stairs and a circular design embedded in the center of the floor, where King Shamoon and Aidan are standing. 

Remus moves down the stairs pulling Nalina behind him a little more gently now.

REMUS: Watch your step.

King Shamoon and Aidan stare at Nalina but say nothing. As she continues down the steps, Nalina notices Chief Advisor Virgil Hobai standing to the side holding an old book and he is also staring at her. Once they reach the bottom Remus leads Nalina over to the center of the room.

As she approaches Aidan and her father she notices both of them have fresh cuts on their palms and blood is dripping from them onto the floor. Nalina wants to ask if Aidan is ok but given the state of the room she's afraid to speak. Aidan nods to her to try and let her know everything is fine, but his small reassurance doesn't help much when Chief Advisor Hobai appears next to her holding a small dagger. He immediately holds it out to Remus, who begrudgingly takes it after a stern glare from his father.

REMUS: Nalina let me see your hands.

Nalina looks frightened but holds up her hands when she sees the angry look on the King's face. Remus puts one of his hands under Nalina's to keep them steady as he pulls the sharp dagger across both of her palms. Nalina flinches in pain but Remus tightens his grip so she can't pull away. He releases them as the blood starts to pool in her hands. 

King Shamoon grabs Nalina's left hand and holds it tight lining up the cut on her hand with the cut on his right.

KING SHAMOON: (sternly) This better work Virgil.

CHIEF ADVISOR HOBAI: We are dealing with a unique situation here Waqar. This is the only solution I can think to try at this time. 

KING SHAMOON: Very well. Aidan.

King Shamoon holds out his other hand to Aidan who immediately takes it. Then Aidan holds out his left hand to Nalina. She is confused but afraid to ask what's going on. Aidan's smile calms her slightly and she takes his hand with hers, lining up the cuts on their palms as well. 

Remus and his father move away from the three in the center and are now standing on opposite sides of the room. Remus pulls out a small book and opens it as his father reopens the book he had previously. Advisor Hobai nods to Remus and the two of them begin whispering in an ancient language that Nalina recognizes but can not understand from this distance.

The circular design in the floor begins to glow and Nalina begins to feel a warmth overtaking her body. The heat is intense but not painful. Nalina looks to her brother, who is staring intensely at their father's arms. She looks over to where Aidan is looking and notices the markings on King Shamoon's forearms. As long as she could remember he's always had these black tribal-esque tattoos. They cover the majority of his forearms and consist of a central circular design with abstract shapes around it. A design Nalina is now recognizing on the floor of the room. As she continues to look at the markings she notices they are no longer black but appear to be glowing a deep blood red. 

Suddenly the tattoos disappear from his arms and Nalina feels a tingling sensation beginning to emanate from the cut on her left palm. It feels like a pressure is building up in her hand and she instinctively wants to pull away but the King's grip on her hand is tight. Without warning the pressure breaks and a rush of energy moves across Nalina's body and continues to her other side where it begins to build again in her right arm. However, something feels different on this side. 

The pressure builds but instead of breaking through to Aidan it pushes him away. He holds onto Nalina's hand with all his strength but it isn't enough and their hands are blown apart. The symbol on the floor stops glowing and the energy of the spell has faded. King Shamoon releases the twin's hands and looks at his palms. The cuts have healed with not even a scar remaining. He smiles and grabs Aidan's arms pulling up the long sleeves of his shirt to look at his arms. On Aidan's right arm the markings that were previously on the King's arm have moved to Aidan's. However, there is nothing on the left arm and the cut on Aidan's palm is still bleeding. 

The King looks to Nalina and pulls up her left sleeve. The tattoos have appeared on her arm instead. He angrily turns to his advisor. 

KING SHAMOON: It didn't work!

CHIEF ADVISOR HOBAI: I told you there was no guarantee. 

The King steps up to Advisor Hobai and continues to yell.

KING SHAMOON: Well try again! Aidan needs both of those blades! Just transfer it from Nalina to him!

CHIEF ADVISOR HOBAI: It isn't that simple my king. I told you these swords know your blood better than you do. Aidan and Nalina are twins they have equal claim to them. 

Chief Advisor Hobai stops for a moment and looks to Remus. 

CHIEF ADVISOR HOBAI: Remus please take the twins out of here. I'll speak with you later.

Remus nods and look at the twins. Aidan has already moved to his sister and started looking at the cut on her hand. 

REMUS: Come on Aidan, Nalina. Let's go take care of those cuts.

The three of them begin to head back up the stares. Remus leading with the twins close behind. The King doesn't wait for them to leave before he continues to yell at his advisor.

KING SHAMOON: This is unacceptable Virgil! 

CHIEF ADVISOR HOBAI: Give me some time to look into this. You saw the way their hands blew apart. The swords are fighting the spell. 

As the three of them walk up the stairs Nalina stares at her left palm where the cut has completely disappeared. 

KING SHAMOON: Fine! I'll give you time but you better work quickly! 

CHIEF ADVISOR HOBAI: I will do my best but you need to manage your expectations. There is a possibility that we can not fix this.

The loose sleeves on Nalina's dress have slide up as she stares at her palm and now her attention shifts to the markings. A warmth is emanating from them as they continue to glow crimson. However, it quickly fades and the tattoo becomes solid black.

KING SHAMOON: I won't accept that! Just figure it out!

The three of them reach the top of the stairs and Remus opens the magic doorway again. The three of them head out back into the hall. Nalina still completely confused at the events that have just taken place.

It's women crush Wednesday and today is all about women living the vanlife. Love this boho babe and her amazing creations 🌹🌵🍄🌿🌻🌸 @nalina_devi is a self trained artist who creates oil and watercolor paintings, as well as screenprints and custom murals. Nalina's art focuses on nature, spirituality, and the divine feminine. I'm obsessed! There are images of her art sprinkled through her IG (and in her van/studio) if you wanna take a quick peak at work. But I really recommend check out her website or shops (links below and in @nalina_devi IG bio). I just spend FOREVER on her society6 shop drooling over all of the amazing products. Her art translates perfectly to so many products. My current favs are the tote bags and travel mugs (but that's changed about 4 times in the last 30 minutes) ⠀ #VanCrush #VanGrrrl nalinadeviart ⠀ society6.com/lotusgypsy⠀ NalinaDeviArt.com⠀ LotusGypsyArt.Etsy.com https://www.instagram.com/p/BQQ_bEUD4Kj/
