#odon's writing

[numberonepartyboy]

why is writing so hard. literally can't stop making so many drafts (i have 32)

[sketch-guardian]

Some little things I want to ask! (Part of the list of asks)

1. What would they belike if they were all in a poly?

2. Mc using stickers to show whether or not they’re disappointed in them?

3. Mc making silly fake eyes paper and putting them on odon?

Feel free to ignore them and answer only one question!

As I already said, I don't mind answering asks and I would find quite rude ignoring them, so, while it might take me some time to write, I'll try to answer, hopefully in time😖(also, it wasn't specified if the headcanons were only for RAD Classmates, the New Exchange Students from the Celestial Realm or both, so I opted for the RAD classmates, since Odon was in the third ask. If you would also like to see the angel OCS in the same scenarios, please note it in the next ask🙈) Now let's proceed in order:

"RAD CLASSMATES IN A POLY RELATIONSHIP"

Just like a poly relationship between the demon brothers, a similar dynamic between the RAD classmates would result in quite the chaotic disaster, in a good way of course. Some of them, especially Demya and Domnra, might find the idea of ​​sharing MC unpleasant at first, however for the sake of the relationship, they would give it a try, slowly getting used to the dynamic. Over time the RAD classmates would find balance and each of them would carve out a small role designated specifically for them, although obviously they would make sure everyone agrees first and to include MC in particular. For example, Demya would take care of choosing the restaurants where some dates would take place, Domnra would choose training activities to carry out together, to exercise while having fun and listening to music, also satisfying Mobim's wish to visit toys shops or amusement parks, Azul would be responsible for taking photos of their special moments and personally making items that represent their love, Zuri would make sure everyone is dressed appropriately for their dates depending on the location, accommodating everyone's style, preferences and choosing outfits that would compliment their figures, while Odon would mainly take care of the members of the relationship's safety, because ultimately, being watched over by them means being protected at all times without fear, their contribution would also be eager, because in a similar relational dynamic, Odon would feel quite loved. MC would choose dates, which can vary from more reckless ideas to calmer ones like a simple cuddle pile

"RAD CLASSMATES WITH A MC WHO USES STICKERS TO SHOW APPROVAL AND DISAPPOINTMENT"

DEMYA

Demya would find such a habit cute and would be thrilled to experience such gestures from MC first hand. In the case of receiving a positive sticker, Demya would act more affectionate than usual, while for a negative sticker, she would complain and make sweet puppy eyes at MC to try to change their mind or in other cases where Demya would be more offended, she would sulk and bite her mate, luckily in a cheeky and playful way

DOMNRA/MOBIM

Domnra would find MC's actions quite dumb, but they shouldn't be fooled by his tsundere attitude, because he would pay a lot of attention to his partner's opinion, since he can be quite insecure. If he received a positive sticker, Domnra would snort, trying to hide a smug grin and a blush, demanding to keep the sticker...for no reason, of course (liar-). If Domnra received a negative sticker, he would pretend not to be upset at all and would vent his anger elsewhere, looking for ways to make up for his mistakes

Mobim would be curious about such a custom, however receiving a positive sticker from MC would make it very happy, enough to dance around. As for a negative sticker, only if MC were a monster they would give it to Mobim, because that would result in crying from Mobim, guilt from MC and a scolding from Domnra

AZUL

Azul would find MC's habit adorable and would immediately want to join, curious about his eventual results. In the case of a positive sticker, Azul would giggle like a maniac and squeeze MC enthusiastically in a hug, as if he had won a prize. For a negative sticker, however, Azul would become whiny and sad, trying to make MC change their mind. Still being a little petty asshole, Azul would return the gesture to MC as payback, randomly attaching negative stickers to MC during the day, even on their forehead, perhaps even butt

ZURI

Zuri would honestly find MC's idea a bit childish and unnecessary, at least in appearance, however if observed carefully, MC can notice how Zuri pays attention to MC's judgment. If she received a positive sticker, Zuri would simply nod and hide a faint smile, grateful for the appreciation towards her efforts, expecting nothing less. However, if she received a negative sticker, MC would only notice a stoic grimace and a slight twitch in her eyes, a sign of her annoyance. Zuri wouldn't accept such an affront very much and would make sure to make her next performance impeccable

ODON

Odon would be curious about such practice on MC's part, having never seen similar customs except in nursery schools, so they would be content to feel included. If they received a positive sticker, Odon would smile wider and give a little clap, accepting the sticker as a medal of valor. As for a negative sticker, I don't think MC would have the heart to give Odon one, especially considering their past, because just seeing Odon's smile falter would be too much.

"ODON WITH A MC WHO PUTS SILLY PAPER EYES ON THEM"

At first Odon wouldn't understand MC's intent, however they would let it slide, especially since it doesn't bother them at all. Although the sight may seem silly in the eyes of others, in the end Odon wouldn't find anything wrong with the nice gesture. Odon might think that MC is trying to give them eyes since their face is half covered by locks of hair, however Odon would assure MC that they can see just fine and that for the sake of MC's sanity, it's better not to see what lies underneath and be satisfied with the paper eyes. Odon's eye-like creatures would also look unimpressed, considering that they are fully functional eyes

SPFBO Pride Showcase

itch.io | ebook & paperback

Winter 1917. After years on the run from a dangerous cult, twenty-three-year-old Sasza and his father have established themselves among the Odonic Empire’s ruling class. But there’s a problem: Sasza is a vampire, and vampires aren’t supposed to get involved in human governance. What the aristocracy doesn’t know, after all, cannot hurt them.

Unfortunately, Sasza is far more involved than a stealth vampire should be. Not only does he work to quell the rumors of the vampires’ responsibility for an unsolved massacre, his lover is also the pro-proletariat Ilya, the Empire’s Finance Minister, who tries to recruit Sasza into the same cult hunting him.

Then—the Emperor declares war against the Vampire States. Diplomacy has failed. Sasza quickly learns that he will do anything to preserve peace–including giving in to the monstrosity he spent so many years concealing from even himself.

[therese-lokidottir]

Okey, it's definitely mess up world building writing but it make curious mcu odon despite have 'big plans' , he looks not care about his own throne. I am talking about how he looks careless with heir and next generation

I meant he look want thor to become king yet thor is sick with politic, and loki well odon look not planing he have asgad throne, and let's not forget about hella, odon careless too make her became bloodthirsty (her choice keep going but odon odon the one teaching her). And in mcu odin look not have brother or other relative.

So the question is if odin, frigga, thor, loki and hela are gone who will be sit on throne? Is that will be from council peoples? Or random Asgard that can lead be sit on throne. Like valkery

My impression was that Odin and Frigga knew Thor would be king, but were also kind of depending on that Loki would talk care of the political aspects. That's why Odin was nudging Thor to find a wife, Sif, In The Dark World.

I have no idea how Agard's politics are supposed to work and I don't think any of writers gave it that much thought either.

I have wanted to write a blog forever…but as I have been sitting here, faced with the challenge of writ in my first one…I find myself stuck - wanting to perform - to myself, and the audience of no one that will read this. This picture I have in my head though plays out because of the documentary on the Cecil hotel and Elisa Lam. It is difficult for me to put the right words to, but the way they narrated her blog posts throughout really stuck with me in a way I would want to speak on my blog. So in honor of that, the pictures I posted are of myself and a long lost childhood friend who passed away in 2015. I always thought we would get to our “adult” years and get together and be able to reminisce and laugh about the past, but we never got to do that. I have only a few pictures of her, as we were not close in the years before her passing and I have been messing around with AI programs to see if I can make it look like we have an adult picture together.

I miss Kaitlyn every day…her story is one I hold close because our mental health stories were so similar and we could’ve so easily shared the same fate. I had sort of an inkling then, but later in life, I would realize she was my first childhood love. I just wanted so much to see her come out the other side and I broke a little the day I learned she died…

Yu gonplei ste odon Kaitlyn kom Aikru. Reshwe and may we meet again.

So here’s to you, Elisa Lam, thank you for giving me the courage to write my first blog post!

[maggacammara]

hi! I’m Ky, 24, they/them. this is my BG3 & Forgotten Realms blog! I follow from my main blog, @odonism. the tags on this post are for my own reference!

I write a bit! you can find works I’ve posted here and here. much of my writing involves my characters. a bit more on them—

Arcturus “Frey” Yarborough is a rock gnome sorcerer from Waterdeep who is going from academic rivals to lovers (who are still academic rivals) with Gale. he is a bit of a hoarder.

Rauva Duskryn is a drow oathbreaker paladin and figher who is in love with Shadowheart...! she likes rats, wine, and hitting things with her sword.

Danaë, also known as Persinette, is my Dark Urge. she’s a high elf ranger who was raised by (and murdered almost all of) a human noble family in Baldur’s Gate. she is a horse girl.

I have a whole lot more—a 30-page masterdoc, in fact—of characters I have made for the Forgotten Realms setting. I may share it one day, but for now, I am always open to questions!

Hii can I ask for an mc with a very strong oral hyperfixation like Demya? I don’t remember if that’s how you spell their name but I hope it is!!

Don't worry, your ask is valid and you wrote Demya's name correctly✨I'll do my best as always to satisfy requests💕also I assumed you meant every OC🙈:

"RAD CLASSMATES+NEW EXCHANGE STUDENTS WITH A MC WHO HAS AN ORAL HYPERFIXATION"

DEMYA

Well, a match made in heaven or in this case hell, because it would be a trait that Demya would share with MC. Demya wouldn't be sure how MC began to have a very strong oral hyperfixation, in her case it was due both to the premature separation from her family and then stay in a human circus as part of a freakshow before being freed and to her frequent hunger, still, unless MC wants to confide, Demya wouldn't ask too many questions, as it is by now a normal practice for her as well. Demya and MC would often be seen together chewing or licking on something with their mouths, maybe even kissing to keep their lips busy could work, but usually Demya would use food or bones to munch on, which she would share with MC, since they are her mate (MC perhaps, before trying, would like to know who those bones belonged to-). Basically, Demya would be very understanding and would be happy to have something more in common with MC

DOMNRA/MOBIM

At first Domnra would sigh in exasperation, since oral hyperfixation would remind him of Demya, that insuffarable gremlin, however since this would be about MC, he would prove more compliant (double standards-). Although oral hyperfixation is something Domnra is familiar with, he wouldn't know how MC deals with it exactly, so he would ask MC what they usually use to find relief and satisfy their urgent strong need. An attempt by Domnra to help and be supportive would be to buy crunchy or chewy snacks to relieve MC's cravings or if in a playful mood, Domnra would suggest asking Mobim to borrow one of its squeaky toys, which the little curse wouldn't be able to bite anyway due to its lack of mouth, Mobim only likes them for the sound (MC's allowed to slap Domnra-). Mobim would also like to be helpful and unlike Domnra, it would offer its toys very innocently, thinking of helping. Furthermore, Mobim hopes not to be bitten by the nape of its neck to be carried like a puppy, as happened with Demya once

AZUL

As already known, Azul raised Demya for a while, he bacisally grew used to being chomped on, so a MC with an oral hyperfixation would not only be a familiar scenario for him, but also child's play. First of all, Azul would focus on which methods MC prefers to use to deal with their hyperfixation, then at his suggestion, he would propose a chewable and suckable option, which can be both sweet and bitter depending on MC's personal tastes, that is, a chupa chups or a lollipop, to be used in moderation obviously, due to sugar. Azul would also volunteer to personally relieve MC, either through kisses, make-out sessions or lovebites (Azul is sadistic with his enemies, but masochistic with his lover, so his lovely star MC can go crazy with Azul, he can handle it-)

ZURI

Zuri would be curious about the origins of MC's oral hyperfixation if they feel like talking about it and would ask if MC's okay living like that or if they would prefer to see a specialist to try to get rid of the habit, in both cases Zuri would be able to adapt to the circumstances. Zuri doesn't open her mouth very often, but she has quite long fangs, so she would understand MC's likely discomfort in showing their oral hyperfixation in public. Zuri would suggest chewing on a gum or could personally sew a mask for MC so that they can carry out their methods to relieve their oral hyperfixation undisturbed.

ODON

Odon wouldn't be able to relate to MC's oral hyperfixation on a personal level, seeing as they barely move their mouth, always busy forming a wide toothy smile, however as an understanding eldritch being, Odon would accept MC's peculiarity without any problem, as MC has ultimately done with Odon by accepting them as a friend in the first place. Odon would read books on the topic to give MC useful and appropriate advice, not knowing much on the subject themselves, moreover Odon would ask MC to explain to them how exactly oral hyperfixation works, what it feels like to have it and how they currently hadle it, they would also listen to the reasons behind the origin of the hyperfixation if MC wanted to share such story, Odon's a good listener. Odon's eye-like creatures wouldn't have an opinion about MC's oral hyperfixation, as long as MC doesn't bite them and make them think they want to eat them, they're fine with their habit

REMIEL

Remiel would have her first approach to oral hyperfixation through MC, having never heard of it before, so MC should expect several questions, some unintentionally invasive, on the topic from the angel of death, who would only be attempting to better understand both MC and terrestrial issues. Remiel would do some research through tomes and if there weren't enough sources, she would also try internet, although technology isn't her strong suit, good thing she's a fast learner. However, since she remains quite dense, Remiel might take some advice too literally, so it would be up to MC to help explain better. Remiel is a rather understanding and soothing angel, so she would reassure MC that she doesn't mind their oral hyperfixation

NATHANIEL

Nathaniel would believe he had seen similar habits in babies or in any case it would seem to him to be a typical trait of newborn animals, however as a very chill angel, Nathaniel would simply go along with it and not even pay too much attention to MC's oral hyperfixation, as if it were the most normal thing in the world, MC wouldn't even need to explain. Nathaniel would think about how to support MC in their daily oral hyperfixation and find pens as objects to chew on to replace finger nails or other possibly harmful habits, he would also suggest trying boba tea, given the gummy bubbles at the bottom. Basically, it wouldn't make much difference to Nathaniel if MC had an oral hyperfixation

URIEL

Uriel would initially be quite puzzled by MC's oral hyperfixation, unable to associate a logical explanation behind such habit, however she could reason and associate a similarity to her own need to physically vent through fighting when she is frustrated. Uriel would ask MC if their oral hyperfixation is something they want to maintain or get rid of, in order to decide whether to begin a training of resistance against temptation. If MC was okay with living like that, then Uriel would get used to it, throwing a glare with a veiled promise of smite to anyone who looks at MC strangely. Uriel would only ask not to try to chew on her armor, not only because of the hardness, but also because then she would have to clean it

THE INSTITUTE OF MANNERS

(The Fealty of Monsters, Volume 2)

Genre: grimdark political fantasy Setting: somewhere in the Odonic Empire and at the titular institute Theme song: "Sweet True Lies" by Beast in Black

Get Volume 1 in ebook or paperback

After working through the difficulty of revision and releasing the first volume, I legitimately forgot how creatively challenging these works are. I got some feedback that amounts to a vibe check on the opening, and it's back into thinking mode. More research, more pondering. I'm slowly working my way through this one, one scene, one character interaction at a time.

The time skip between Volumes 1 and 2 is two years, and there's a lot that needs to get addressed.

I won't be ready to make any announcements just yet but the art @t-hornapple has already presented is enough to break my own frenzy meter and I can't wait for the rest of you to see it too, and I want to write a book that lives up to those promises

Ebony Jewelwing - Calopteryx maculata

Goodness me, I’m thrilled to showcase this bejeweled, metallic green, magnificent insect after its been absent from this blog for such a long time. Honestly, I was beginning to wonder if I would ever find one again around the neighborhood. Fortunately, they were in season and there were a good handful to be found by the water, basking in the sunlight (in a sort of obelisk position). Depending on the angle and lighting (along with individual variation), their color might be more blue than green, but they are still elegant to observe. Compared to all other Damselfly species on this blog (at time of writing), this specie belongs to the Broad-Wing Damselfly family (Calopterygidae), distinguished by the widening curve of their wings compared to that of Coenagrionidae, or Narrow-Winged Damselflies. Me personally, the wider winged Damsels might just be the way to go aesthetically: with little particles trapped on their wings, the widened shape, the network of veins and the dark color, they resemble a beautiful starry night. A flitting one at that as these insects flit and flutter around plant life to navigate rather than bursting suddenly with great speed.

On Pictures 2 and 9 the flitting behavior was captured while at rest. When you observe these insects yourself, you’ll see a sudden opening and closing of the four wings. It’s quite elegant, and likely a way of stretching the flight muscles or keeping the warmed up for a sudden takeoff. Though their flight isn’t as powerful as their Odonate relatives, the Dragonflies, the flitting makes them bouncy and agile, allowing them to catch insects quite suddenly, snaring them with their dainty, but hairy legs. Notably, their front most legs are lined with hairs to restrain small insects. Furthermore, despite their bouncy flight, the control of their ability to change direction and suddenly turn is remarkable. You’ll need to move slowly and softly to try catching one of these beauties (I did catch a few in hand, but they promptly flew away after). Finally, the wings hide another secret which will be expanded upon in Friday’s post. Looking at the wings will help determine whether your found Damsel is male or female. These particular individuals are male as female wings have a beauty spot. Look forward to the next post; you’re in for a trove of beautiful ornate Odonates.

Pictures were taken on June 16, 2021 with a Google Pixel 4.

Now we live

Previous chapter

Chapter:03

“What are you doing?” Nova asked in a low voice.

She had woken to see a bloodied John Murphy in front of her, he was untying her. Nova noticed he had also brought ‘normal’ clothes, along with a knife.

“Soon as you get the chance to run go and don’t look back.”

The screaming woke her. Flickering her eyes open, they quickly adjusted to the brightly lit room for her to see nothing but white. At first Nova thought she had died, and this was the bright light people used to talk about. But she wasn’t dead, just trapped in hell. The screaming was her own.

The man in the hazmat suit was pulling the tube out of her arm, it was then she heard the drilling noise again. Nova wanted to beg for the pain to stop, but she was too proud. A grounder would never plead for their life.

“Thank you...” Nova couldn’t believe he was helping her escape. “Why are you letting me go? Won’t your people be mad?”

The sky boy didn’t answer her question. He had dried blood around his nose and mouth, but what Nova noticed most was the way his fists were shaking. Looking between his hands and his face, the grounder recognized the look on his face. Murphy had murder on his mind.

______

Nova’s body creaked and ached while she tried to get comfortable in the small cage they locked her in. The room was full of grounders from different clans being healed against their will in...whatever the place was.

“Psssst!”

Nova looked up to see the grounder in the cage above staring down at her. “Treyton?” She had seen his face before in her village. He couldn’t have been any older than sixteen.

“Cadeau has been going koken lufa au Yu, she mous don frag op those Tu fools when she learnd chit emo don dula gon You. She don bilaik convinced gon kom daun gon tondc gon huk op birth.” ‘Cadeau has been going crazy searching for you, she almost killed those two fools when she learned what they have done to you. She had to be convinced to return to Tondc to give birth.’ The young grounder informed her.

Cadeau..her pregnant sister shouldn’t be worried about her. Nova should be looking after her, instead of being trapped like an animal ready for slaughter. “Ha dula op Oso get au kom hir?” ‘How do we get out of here?’

Treyton shook his head. “Oso na't. Guards surround Disha place, emo na frag op Yu raun spot taim emo ai op Yu trana gon escape.” ‘We can't. Guards surround this place, they will kill you on the spot if they see you trying to escape.’

Nova grimaced when she felt drips of blood landing on her arm. They must have put the young grounder through hell for him to still be bleeding. “na fig au a edei gon get yumi au kom hir!” ‘I will find a way to get us out of here!’

The door to the room opened again as guards checked the cages to see who was still alive, and who had succumbed to their injuries. Three grounds had died. Nova tried not to scream or cry when a guard hit her with a stick that sent an electric shock through her body. At least she was still alive to feel the pain.

Running through the woods, Nova still hadn’t been able to shake who was following her. She didn’t think it was anyone that fell from the sky. They wouldn’t have been capable of sneaking around so quietly.

Nova let out a squeal when she tripped over a branch and landed on the ground with a thud. Men in strange suits with guns quickly surrounded her. As Nova tried to move an object struck her on the back of the head.

“Chit don dula Skaikru dula op gon Yu??” ‘What did the sky people do to you?’ Treyton asked once the guards left with a new victim.

“Eintheing, emo jos questioned Ai. Emo became i’ll kom gona virus. Ai didn’t get in anya don gaf gon infect emo.” ‘Nothing, they just questioned me. They became i’ll from the warrior virus. I didn’t know Anya wanted to infect them.’ Nova confessed.

Treyton shook his head. “Sha, she was meizen pissed gon chit happened gon lincoln. Skaikru tortured em.” ‘Yeah, she was pretty pissed at what happened to Lincoln. The sky people tortured him.’

Nova pressed her lips into a thin line. She could believe it, the one called Bellamy probably would have done worse than pull her hair if they were alone. He was full of anger and wanted some kind of revenge. “A gada called Okteivia don trana gon help. also boy dane en lamos kept honon helped Ai escape. He could yu don bash op Ai, ba choose gon help instead.” ‘A girl called Octavia tried to help...also the boy Dane and Lamos kept prisoner helped me escape. He could have hurt me, but choose to help instead.’

Treyton gave her an unconvinced look. “Skaikru can’t na trusted. Gon bilaik get in boy might yu don been handing Yu odon gon maun hef.” ‘The sky people can’t be trusted. For all you know the boy might have been handing you over to the mountain men.’

“Ai don’t fig raun krei. he was trana gon help Ai.” ‘I don’t think so...he was trying to help me.’ Nova stopped talking when a loud screaming noise echoed down the hallway. She looked up at Treyton who was visibly scared. “Oso na get through Disha.” ‘We will get through this.’

“Ai hope krei. It’s a shame Yu don’t yu don you’re bow en arrow nearby, na Yu tech Ai ha gon mana once Oso get au?” ‘I hope so. It’s a shame you don’t have your bow and arrow nearby, can you teach me how to aim once we get out?’ Treyton asked in a slight chuckle.

“i'll make Yu finest archer raun houd.” ‘I'll make you the greatest archer in the world.’

Next chapter

Notes:This wasn’t my favorite chapter to write, but I felt it was necessary for the story's progression.🥺
