If I really think about it my OCs could have a bunch of siblings from other worlds. I used to worry how two OCs would interact if the pairings for the parents were different. (Example Marc has Morgan and Julius as parents while Estelle has Ishtar and Julius as parents)

That’s the best part of having everything set in Askr, it opens a world of possibilities! Honestly if I really wanted to I’d love to hear about your OCs if they were to appear in Askr :)

What if I wrote about Julius being sick again but in Morgan’s pov?

I’ve Goat it Baaad

Claude quickly maneuvered his wyvern past the arrow that threatened to take them out. What he failed to realize was he has accidentally thrown himself into the range of another enemy, the mage casted a wind spell aimed straight for him. The gust of wind threw Claude off his dragon, his hands grip on the reins slipped and he felt himself free falling.

Claude crashed to the ground with a heavy thud, the impact knocked the wind out of him. He sat up with a wince, an enemy sword fighter was rushing towards him with a battle cry. Just my luck, of course they decided to gang up on me. Claude thought as he readied his bow Failnaught.

Suddenly, Claude felt something clamp down on the back of his shirt and yank him backwards before he could shoot his bow. He yelled out in surprise as he was spun around and tossed roughly to the ground. He quickly shook himself off and looked up to see a huge white goat with a long tail that curled in a spiral of white and blue. 

The goat took the attack meant for Claude, the enemy’s blade bounced off her white fur. The animal crouched, charging a dark colored beam from her forehead and fired it. The beam exploded upon contact and the sword fighter was now slumped over against a tree.

The goat made quick work of the rest of the enemies, blasting her beams and ramming opponents with her huge curling crimson horns. 

That was Freyja, the summoner had recently introduced her to Claude’s team, this was their first mission together. He didn’t know much about her, her red glaring eyes weren’t exactly the most welcoming. 

“Woah thanks for the save there!” Claude grinned completely ignoring her cold glare. “it’s not everyday someone gets saved by a goat, you know?”

“Save your words mortal.” Freyja scowled, “I did not save your life to indulge in meaningless conversation.”

“Aw don’t be that way.” Claude smiled and reached to pet her head, his fingers ran through her soft white fur, “you’re just cold because we haven’t gotten to know each other.” 

Freyja jumped back with a snarl, “you dare pet me like some animal? Unforgivable!” She shot one more glare at him before a bright light enveloped her, within the light her goat form began to shift into a more humanoid form.

Standing in front of Claude as the light dissipated was a beautiful woman with curling red goat horns. She scowled down at Claude, “I will not be so merciful next time, mortal.”

Claude chuckled, “alright, alright, I won’t pet you again.” That answer didn’t seem to make Freyja any happier, earning him a scoff instead. She shifted forms again and trotted off in search of more enemies.

“Hey wait up!” Claude called, skipping after her.

“Stop following me!”

Reading some older stuff I wrote one of two of these things is my reaction

reaction 1: Wow! I really had something here!

reaction 2: What the fuck was I writing?

[cataclysmic-flare]

Marc meets Estelle at the entrance of Askr Academy (a bug may or may not have been the one to lead him there)

They exchange small talk before they talk about their home worlds.

Marc: *gasp* you’re from a different Jugdral but you have the same dad as me?

Estelle: it would seem so…

Marc: *smiles widely* so we’re technically siblings! That’s so cool!

Fell For You

Julius’s body was hunched over as he leaned heavily against the wall, his body shivered and his vision began to blur.

Another wave of coughs hit him, he stumbled down the hall, he felt himself get hotter. Where was the infirmary? Where were all the heroes? Maybe he could… he could… ask them for help…

No, he couldn’t.. he’d seen the way the everyone looked at him as if he’d suddenly murder them. No one here cared for him.

Then…

Where would he go?

Julius tripped clumsily over his own foot, he barely caught himself from face-planting onto the carpet. He pushed himself up with a grunt, he brushed his messy red hair aside. 

He let out a few shaky breaths, barely focused on the hallway lined with rooms, he was almost to his own room. He pushed himself along the wall until he reached the door.

The door looked different…

This… this… wasn’t his room…

How.. how did I end up here? Julius thought slowly, his hand knocked weakly on the door before his mind registered it. 

Julius heart fluttered as the door flew open, his hand gripped the door frame as tightly as he could manage. 

“Julius?” Morgan asked, his eyes widened as he took in Julius’s sickly appearance, “we need to get a healer!”

Oh… I was wrong… Julius’s legs gave out a small smile appeared on his face as he fell forward, there is someone… who cares for me.

“Julius?!” Morgan yelped in surprise as he caught Julius in his arms, the prince’s breathing was ragged. Julius’s senses were becoming muddled as he drifted into unconsciousness, he could hardly register Morgan’s voice calling his name.

With one last attempt to speak, darkness overtook him.

Julius woke up a few hours later, he blinked a few times as his vision adjusted. He felt something cold resting on his forehead.

“His fever’s gone down, he should be fine now.” Saias whispered to Morgan, “I’ll take my leave now.” He gave Saias a nod before the latter opened the door and left.

Morgan let out a sigh of relief and turned towards Julius, he jumped in surprise, “you’re awake!” He knelt beside Julius’s spot on the couch, “I was so worried-“

Morgan was caught off guard as Julius leaned over and pulled him into a tight hug.

“Thank you…”

Basic info for my OC

Name: Lazuli

Species: Divine Dragon

Age: 16

Background info: Born from the love between Alcryst and Alear, Lazuli grows up in Elyos until finding himself at Askr Academy (whatever the name is permanent now)

Powers/Abilities

Lazuli is unable to summon emblems, however he is able to harness fragments of their powers. They appear as small shards that look to be part of their rings/bracelets (they’re not actually from them though) they’re stored in a pouch around his waist. He simply swallows the shard he wants and “engages” with the respective emblem, he takes the appearance of being engaged and wields their power. 

Lazuli can transform into a dragon, he can shoot gem spikes from his tail and breathe fire

Lazuli is skilled in archery, he’s also strangely good at sneaking around.

Likes: Archery, helping people, long walks, reading, flying, parties, staying up late

Dislikes: being worshipped, fighting (unnecessary bloodshed), oversleeping, rain, lies, the Corrupted

[cataclysmic-flare]

Basic info for my OC

Name: Marcellus but everyone calls him Marc

Species: Human

[cataclysmic-flare]

Basic info for my OC

Estelle has minor Loptous blood, it doesn’t entail much for her :/

She is also quite skilled with a sword.

After using this side blog more often, I’m somehow more motivated to write stuff

yay! :D

[cataclysmic-flare]

They have names! :D

Lazuli and Estelle

I have two fankids in mind at the moment…

One with Alcryst and Alear

the other Ishtar and Julius

[cataclysmic-flare]

I like writing and posting whatever comes to mind

Otherwise I will forget it T-T

[cataclysmic-flare]

Angrboða: as you know Askr and Embla are pretty much united, meaning I have the power of two kingdoms behind me. *points at her friends* so you better think twice before you fuck with me

Noah: *raises hand* I can rule two kingdoms too you know?

[cataclysmic-flare]

“J-Julius!” Morgan gasped, desperately trying to escape the prince’s grasp, his hands uselessly pried at the hand around his throat. He kicked pathetically at Julius’s stomach, “p-please.. fight it…”

“I warned you didn’t I?” Julius, no, that wasn’t the prince Morgan grew to love, he knew the name of the monster in his lover’s body, Loptous. “My patience wears thin.”

Darkness started to consume the corners of Morgan’s vision, his arms felt heavy, he had long given up at kicking. Tears sprang to his eyes as he grew limp in Julius’s grip, “Julius…I-it’s not your… fault…” Morgan whispered, hoping for the small chance his boyfriend was still in there. He closed his eyes, accepting his fate, please don’t feel guilty…

The prince’s lips curled into a smirk as he raised his free hand, it crackled with dark energy as he thrust it towards Morgan’s heart.

“No!”

Morgan felt himself collapse to the ground. He sat up, one hand went to  his neck as he gasped for air.

His eyes focused on the scene in front of him, his body frozen in fear. 

Julius was on one knee, his hand to his head as he panted and groaned. His voice sounded distorted as he seemed to be mumbling to himself. Morgan could hear Julius’s normal voice layered with something more draconic.

“YoU’rE a pErSiStEnT OnE.” Julius hissed to no one in particular, one hand pointed towards Morgan, a dark spell forming.

“Leave him alone!” Julius’s other hand shot out to clutch the spell hand, the dark energy faded as he wrestled himself. 

Morgan’s heart pounded violently in his chest, his body trembling as he watched the scene unfold. Uncertainty clouded his mind, what should he do, what can he do?!

“Morgan!” Julius gasped, his voice strained. Their eyes locked, Julius’s red eyes were wide with fear and desperation.

Morgan rushed towards Julius, holding his hand out, “Julius I-“

A cry escaped Julius as he clutched his head, “get away!” He knocked Morgan’s hand back, “please… get away! Now! I can’t… can’t… ngh…” 

Julius raised his hand towards Morgan as he casted another spell, Morgan’s eyes slammed shut as he braced himself for pain.

Except he felt something else

It was warmth.

He slowly opened his eyes to see a warm light underneath him, gold dust surrounded him like a shield. Morgan’s eyes widened as he realized what it was, “Julius no!” 

Julius grimaced as he looked at Morgan with a smile, no, no, Morgan’s eyes filled with tears. 

He was saying goodbye.

Morgan found himself back in the barracks, he was safe but his heart felt heavy. He curled up on the floor, his body shaking with sobs.

❤️😭⁉️ for the asks?

❤️"what are your favorite scenes from your WIPs?"

-my current W.I.Ps are very disorganized in jumbles only I can somehow understand 😅

-I did enjoy many scenes I wrote out for my storyboards, for example the scene for the line “Anger and agony are better than misery” during the pain storyboard

-outside of storyboards, I’d say the first scene I wrote about Vampire!Julius

😭"what are the biggest challenges writing your WIPs?"

-staying motivated because goddamn it I get distracted a lot, scrolling on Tumblr, playing Feh, watching YouTube, playing pool… doing literally anything but writing

-also reading back on what I’m in the middle of writing and hating it, I’ll straight up delete the paragraph and rewrite it meaning I make zero progress. Later on I’d think “wait I think that line was written well, what was it again?” But I can’t get it back because the undo button doesn’t go any further >:(

⁉️”what do you do when stuck on a scene?"

-Leave and work on a different scene, it’ll come to me eventually, why waste time racking my brain when it could be put towards other scenes

-one time I lucid dreamt all the characters on a movie set based on a fanfic I wanted to write at the time. The characters were actors and I was its director. I replayed many different scenarios and all that. I was walking around the set saying, “no, no, that doesn’t seem right (name) you’re supposed to do this or that.”
