what do you guys think of your family : D ? like . . uh um siblings, parents, kids, and id say nephews and nieces if you both didn’t have well . only about . 2 . i think . . ( you don’t have to include all of them by the way, rock ! i think that’s about actually 13 characters for both dian and nyx, so you can just do one of them too if you’d like ! make sure to take care of yourself, love you < 3 )

(Hi hi hi Apri!! Sorry this'll be a bit long haha but I hope it's alright!! I love you, too <3 <3)

Nyx's Thoughts on his Family:

Haneul: Baba. He burned strong but bright like a white dwarf star. Even more stubborn than Dad and somehow more protective, too. He never quite managed to hate us, the damn bleeding heart. Faolán: Dad. Quiet and stern, the moon shining down in the night, silvery protection no matter the cost, as long as you were part of the pack. Loyal and determined, looked a lot more serious than he actually was. Castor: I never asked you to die for me. I never wanted you to die for me. Maybe, you were able to find Kyo again. I hope you don't regret throwing it all away for me, of all people. Aurien: Darling sister, I love you so much. I know I am not the best at showing it but I pray that I have done enough to demonstrate the lengths to which my affection extend. Mori: I never have quite managed to understand my littlest sister. This is my failing rather than anything she ever did. I don't know how she manages but she's so hot, that somehow she's cold. Asahi: Born as the sun crested over the horizon, you brought with you a new stage in my life and I love you so dearly. I'll never know what I did to make you hate me so but I do know that I deserve it, you are not one for emotional decisions. I'll always miss you, my beloved daughter. Yami: Just like him, you are a burning flare in the darkness. You don't hate me and somehow, that's worse, because you don't care for me at all. You want to leave me and your father behind. I wish I could do something to make you reconisder but I cannot stop you, I wouldn't dare. Natsuki: My little moon, you are so much stronger than you know. You don't remember how fiercely you fought to survive when you were born, but look at you now; You stand, facing the future without flinching. I hope that I am not a hindrance to you.

Dian's Thoughts on his Family:

Cam: Why did you have to lie to me? Why did you hide from us, in the end? I could have helped you. I would have helped you, if only you let me. Flor: My precious little fool. You were never meant to die and so, it is only fitting that you haunt my every step, my every movement. I cannot help but regret the way I failed you. Oli: The jester's other half, mirror image escaped from the warped glass. Always overlooked, yet you shine so bright when you are given the space. I am happy that you are able to blaze your own trail, now, that you stand on your own. It it better that you do not remember me, I wish you all the best. Faisal: If only I could say that I don't know why you hate me but I can't, not without lying through my teeth- I understand all too well the depths of your loathing. Someday, you will be able to escape from my shadow. All I pray is that it comes sooner rather than later. Yami: Every time I reach out to you, you jump away, as if you are burned by my touch. Every time I see you, I see a reflection of myself, a reflection of him. Do you know how painful it is, to see him in your face? Do you realize how much it hurts to see you face me, with such disgust in your eyes? All I want is to know what I did, all I want is to fix it. Qiu: You are a bitter kind of miracle. Sometimes, it seems as though you really should not have been born, with the suffering that weighs heavy on your bones, and the pain that you never meant to cause. Nonetheless, I am glad you survived. Minh: The spitting image of your parents, I wonder how you manage it, so quiet and fierce like Zhuli, so caustic and witty like Faisal. I won't get too close but I hope it is alright, if I watch you from afar.

Admittedly I only went with direct blood relations, including in the modern au, as otherwise Cas, Auri, and Qiu wouldn't be included. Nevertheless, for any characters that are in the main ALNST OC canon, that is the universe these thoughts are from (Nyx's thoughts on his children would not be so mournful, were it the modern au, also, Mori isn't his blood sibling in the modern au, and Han isn't his bio father, so).

Tagging @lookatmysillies (for Castor), @sotogalmo (for Flor!) and @pinkcocopuff-aqualoid (for Oli) but everyone else either belongs to me or to you, Apri! haha so I hope that's alright :) love you lots thank you for the ask <3 <3

how do you feel about the approach of the start of season 40 ?

i heard asahi has already been assigned to round 3, and yami will be attending the round with kyuno . i hope you’re happy .

( lol sorry if I sound a bit grim . . love u rock ! i shall start to prepare my stuff for the round now . . )

Nyx: I'm not fucking happy.

Dian: I've tried to reach out to Yami but she . . . doesn't really want anything to do with me. (glances at Nyx) I'm not- I'm not looking forward to the upcoming season but I'm trying my best to face it with a smile. That's what's best for my image right now. (he smiles at you but it doesn't quite reach his eyes).

[likeaflameinthenight]

wish yami luck ! she’ll need it in s41 : )

(Nyx stares at you for a long moment, his eyes slowly becoming more and more glassy with unshed tears) Don't you dare smile at me like that and tell me my daughter is being sent to die. Who the fuck do you think you are? I know what happens up on that fucking stage, I'm not a child. 'Wish her luck, she'll need it'? What are you going to do to her? I fucking swear, if you hurt her- (his voice cracks on his shout and in the brief moment he isn't yelling, he breaks down into tears.)

(Dian scoops Nyx up into his arms and tries futilely to soothe him) You're okay, starshine, just let it out. (Dian looks up at you, his eyes lacking any mirth or cheer.) I don't know what your game is but you fuck with my family and I fuck with you, alright? Yami might not be ours anymore, but, (he hesitates, resting his forehead against Nyx's hair) she's still ours. All I can hope is that she meets someone who makes her happy.

hi nyx!!!! do you think you’ll ever look for vera, knowing she’s out there? or will you just let her be?

(He blinks at you, face paling slightly) It isn't really my place, is it? To seek her out. She's free of us all, now, away from it all. It would be cruel of me to make her remember. (He scratches at his cheek, considering) I miss her, but I've been selfish enough, haven't I?

(shaking his head, he rubs at his face) But what if she doesn't want to be alone? I won't abandon her, I can't, I love her. I think, I'll try to find her. Visit, y'know? (he tucks a strand of hair behind his ear and looks at you sheepishly.) Tell her that I can leave her alone, if she wants me to, or I can come around more. I just want her to know I'm around.

General question for either Dian, Nyx, or both to answer!! How did you guys first meet and what was your first impression of each other as wee babies?

(love you)

Dian: When did we first meet? Oh, ah, Teneb brought Nyx with her to the adoption center when she came to pick out a new pet and I ended up being that new pet that Teneb bought. Nyx was so . . . small, back then. The whole time, he stood in Teneb's shadow and I don't think he ever got more than one step behind her. At the time, I thought it was obedience, but in retrospect, it was probably fear. In the lights of the adoption center, his hair shone like starlight. Even back then, he was beautiful. (Dian blinks at you, realizing what he's just said.) Um, not that I like, had a crush on him then, or anything, or now, or- I just- never mind. It doesn't matter. (He buries his face in his hands, blush covering his cheeks.)

Nyx: We met when Dian got adopted by Teneb. He held out his hand to me and smiled. He told me his name and asked for mine. I, (Nyx hesitates before sucking in a deep breath.) I wasn't handling being away from my parents well. I told him my name but I didn't take his hand. He was too shining too bright, I was afraid he would burn me. He was so sincere. Eager. Even back then, I knew he would surpass me as Teneb's favorite. (Nyx smiles sadly, tucking a strand of hair behind his left ear.)
