[whumper-turned-whumpee]

【ｖｅｒｓｅｓ】

here’s the four different points in Evan’s life, what I call the four ‘verses’ for categorization purposes. 

Verse 1

tag: #♠ 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 { 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 }

Before Evan became an established Pet seller with a fortune behind him, he was once a poor orphan with nothing to his name. He lived in an orphanage but was kicked out for bad behavior and his tendency to get into fights. He took to the streets and fell in with the gangs, but they all looked down on him as beneath them. Humiliated and beaten at every turn, Evan dreams of finding a way out of this pathetic life and getting revenge on those who’ve hurt him. { Whumpee Evan. no pet whump involved. includes themes of violence, humiliation, drugs, alcohol, gangs, and environmental whump }

Verse 2

tag: #♠ 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨 { 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 }

With his extraordinary business acumen and a talent for manipulating others, Evan has risen to the top of the Pet industry and made a name for himself. Gone are the days of living on the streets, now he walks upon them in tailor-made suits, trying to bury the past deep beneath the surface. It still lingers in the way he takes his anger out on those who go against him, however. He’s vindictive and cruel and he’ll go after anyone who’s ever hurt him or anyone who dares to disobey. { Whumper Evan. Pet whump. includes themes of violence, humiliation, conditioning, captivity, non-sexual nudity, and torture }

Verse 3

tag: #♠ 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 { 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐜 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 }

Betrayed by one of his closest associates, Evan is stripped of his identity, has his fortune stolen, and is sold into the very same Pet business he once ran. Angry and defiant, he tries to fight his way out, but this only leads him to more unpleasantness. He finally gets to experience the other side of the way of life he’s lead for years now, and he doesn’t know how much he can take before breaking. { Whumpee Evan. Pet whump. includes themes of violence, humiliation, conditioning, captivity, non-sexual nudity, and torture }

Verse 4

tag: #♠ 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 { 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 }

Rescued yes, but safe? Evan doesn’t know. He’s gotten away from the Pet business but all his life he’s known that people were out to get him and that weakness meant he would inevitably be hurt. He doesn’t know how to be vulnerable. He’d rather just destroy himself from inside—he’s broken enough for it anyways. Through this recovery period, he’ll learn to work through his past traumas, his nightmares and fears, and all the hurt and guilt he’s accumulated in his life. It’s going to be a messy road, but the suffering is not without comfort. { Whumpee Evan. Aftermath of pet whump. includes themes of violence, de-conditioning, non-sexual nudity, past torture, guilt, self-loathing, unhealthy coping mechanisms, self-destruction, and other possibly toxic behaviors }

there was a time when they hadn’t lived in peace, when he spent year after year in solitude with none of his own alongside. matías, also known as teo   (   e pronounced as - ay   ),   was born of kindness and amiability, of a present mother and a distant father   —   a father that ultimately lost his life fighting for their equality and peace when teo and his younger sister, stephanie, were still at the hands of youth. they came from the desert line of dark fae, and teo only knew of this from the numerous tales recounted by his mother on nights he found himself plagued by sleeplessness. little did he know that later, all of those tales he’d heard in the flame-lit space of their shared sleeping quarters would turn out to be true. he wondered why they never knew anyone else like them, other children who could spread their wings and soar through the clouds, above stretches of deserted tundra, around trees and branches with a blade like focus   —   others like him. he wondered, he wondered, he wondered.

until one quiet evening at the age of fourteen, just as the sun was set to descend upon their secluded corner on the outskirts of a forest, his questions were answered. they were answered in the form of raging men with daggers and pitchforks. their ambush was unwarranted, and they were utterly defenseless. the humans didn’t hesitate before striking their mother, they didn’t hesitate before leaping toward teo’s sister who was far younger than he. they belted words such as,    “    demon    ”    and    “   devil    ”    at the boy as he fought to protect what remained of his injured sibling. with a surge of determination, he had summoned the powers lying dormant within him, a twister of raging winds expelling from every pore and cutting through the guards before him. their bodies propelled through the air, launching through the arduously constructed home of vine, bark, and leaves until they landed in broken heaps upon the earth.

with a forlorn kiss to his departed mother’s head, matías had quickly scooped stephanie into his arms and launched into the awaiting sky   —   flying as far as he could, flying until he couldn’t fly any more.

𝐈𝐈.  𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐑𝐒.

years following the death of their mother, stephanie decided to spread her own wings as she reached adulthood, leaving her brother to scour the earth in solitude. her purpose was to find other’s like them, never to abandon her brother. he knew she loved him, that she always would, and if they ever needed one another   —   they would find their way. during this time was when he ended up coming upon the unit of fae residing on the hidden island, where he and stephanie were later revealed to be born. borra had been the one to know their family, he’d even witnessed teo moments following his birth. however, his time on the island did not last, for his father had promptly migrated them halfway across the world at the buzz of conflict looming on the horizon   —   as some of the skirting kingdoms became more hostile and far less welcoming of their kind and woodland creatures alike.

nevertheless, as teo tentatively approached the sea of winged creatures who seemed just like him but dissimilar at the same time, he was welcomed with open and unguarded wings. in such, he found a semblance of home and comfort there, all the while wondering if his sister would ever return to him. here is where teo first heard of the almighty protector of a land called the moors, she was revered and admired greatly by those on the island, they spoke of her between whispers and sometimes urgent tones. however, he became exceptionally aware of it as he heard it travel in the wind. for the wind always held secrets that were moments from being unveiled. there was a storm brewing   —   an uprising from his kind, but it was one that for a reason he couldn’t explain, filled him with dread.

𝐈𝐈𝐈.  𝐅𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐔𝐋𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐃.

peace had now become the fate of fae and humans alike, a unity teo hadn’t believed could ever exist at that point in time. maleficent had defeated queen ingrith, not only leaving aurora and phillip in a peaceful union, but the creatures of the moors and the kingdom as well. despite prior reservations, teo had fought alongside his fellow fae, ripping through knights with his violent winds and the strength in his heart. presently, he resides in the moors, free to roam, explore, and learn of his past and those that came before them.

matías dante goes by teo ( pronounced t - ay - o ), and will generally introduce himself as such. it was a nickname his mother gave him when he was just a child

he is a desert fae, a region specific branch of the dark fae line

appearance / attire : his clothes are generally lighter in hues, beige and browns with charcoal accents. his hair is relatively long and it just about reaches his chin   ;   dark hair settles smoothly around the gently curved slope of his horns

abilities : summoning aerodynamic gales from any point of his body. full strength would be winds compared to those of a cyclone, alongside the immense blows that emit with each flap of his wings. he can inflict serious harm if he wanted to

wings : despite the members of his family all having white, beige, and brown colored wings, teo’s are pitch black. he has a streak of light brown tinted feathers on the inside of his right one

❛ what made you pick that design ?   ❜ a frown has tugged at the soldier's lips as he sits there at the café table , hand busy sketching at the pad of paper in front of him. what is he drawing ? avengers tower. it's the most distinct building in the area ------ &* an eyesore. trying to appreciate it aesthetically was at least a small attempt to not scowl at it every time he sees it. his brows are pinched in focus , but baby blues do spare a glance towards @stauerk. ❛ it's . . . unique.   ❜

[apologizelater]

❛ i know what i saw.   ❜ unease has settled on the captains face as he stares down @hoovedrycal. ❛ explain.   ❜

[apologizelater]

@am4zon » ' have you ever been in love ? '

❛   i have. plenty of different kinds of love , too. ❜ the captain leans forward , hands wringing absently in front of his knees as elbows rest on thighs. ❛ i loved my mother. i loved my friends. i think i was really in love with one person , though , if that's what you're asking.   ❜ he won't name them. he doesn't know her well enough to divulge too much. it didn't really matter anymore anyway. ❛   most of the people i've loved are gone. but they're why i fight. so other people have the chance to find that same love in their lives. ❜

[apologizelater]

❛   you're staring again , @aegend. ❜ amusement touches his face as he looks up from his sketchbook , a brow arching. ❛   is there a reason , or . . . ? ❜

[apologizelater]

❛   YOU'LL HAVE TO FORGIVE ME ----- i don't take kindly to supers showing up at my doorstep. ❜ steve's face is guarded as he lifts his shield between them , wary of the woman that has shown up in his apartment. he's never seen @herosupe in his life , save for the few times on television ; of course he's anxious about her arrival. ❛   what do you want ? ❜

[apologizelater]

❛   not sure i'm following . . . can you break it down for me ? ❜ brows knit as his gaze squints slightly at @rotdame. ❛   please ? ❜ manners , steven.

[apologizelater]

❛ they praise me for my powers &* all the ones in the avengers as scientific feats , but give people who were born just as strong as us hell ? ❜ a scoff escapes the captain as he shakes his head , gaze sympathetic as it lands on @shehook. ❛ seems backwards to me. but what do i know ? just an old man outta touch.   ❜

[apologizelater]

@lunarfey ↳  " i've heard stories about you. they can't all be true. "

❛ all the good things are definitely true.   ❜ a slight smile tugs at his lips as he ducks his head , bashful even after all this time. a soft clearing of his throat , then he's offering a smile towards her. ❛   i'm just doing what's best. what helps people. sometimes that makes headlines. but no , it's not all true. i once saw a story that i lifted a tank over my head. it was a motorcycle ---- not nearly as interesting. ❜

[apologizelater]

women have always made steve nervous. diana is no exception to that. so , as she steps closer , he has half a mind to step back. but , if she is a threat , he will stand his ground. he will not show her weakness or hesitation. his lips purse as he squints at her. ❛   i would , yes. i'd rather not fight a lady.   ❜

Diana clears her face of any giveaway that might spoil the surprise by answering his question. She places her hands on her hips and steps an inch closer to him. Her face tilts to the side. ❛ I suppose that depends. Would you like to be my friend, Captain Rogers? ❜ And now, she has on her smile, though she must press her lips together to stop a string of laughter from escaping.

[apologizelater]

❛   god , no i don't. one'a you's enough. ❜ more blunt than he'd be if he were okay. still , he complies , leaning against her as he does his best to get up. he doesn't feel okay -- wobbles on his feet. finds his knees don't quite have him. she has to hold up most of him , but he can at least keep his grip on her. ❛   we shouldn't leave the mission. ❜ even as he has to squeeze his eyes closed because he's helplessly dizzy.

⠀❛⠀You're a super soldier, not invincible⠀❜⠀⠀Natalia keeps her hands where they are despite his insisting he's okay, and trying to pry her touch away from him. Steve took a hit that would have easily debilitated anyone else, and she took that as their cue to abort the mission—or at least let the other avengers take over as she tended to the captain. Her thumb grazes over the bruises forming along his skin, auburn eyebrows furrowed together in concern. The agent goes to give him the benefit of the doubt, her body inching away to stand and help him to his feet.

⠀Until she hears his question and well, that concludes that the substantial blow he took did in fact impact him. Natalia huffs an amused chuckle, concealing her worry with a smirk.⠀⠀❛⠀You wish there were three of me, Rogers⠀❜⠀⠀she teases before she brushes a short, stray blonde hair away from his forehead.⠀⠀❛⠀Come on, lean on me and we'll head back to headquarters. You're getting looked at by someone, and that's final⠀❜⠀⠀she leaves no room for argument, guiding his arm around her lithe shoulders and supporting the bulk of his weight.

[apologizelater]

❛   IT'S PART OF THE JOB. access &* protect.   ❜ the captain's head tilts as he arches a brow at her. ❛   you haven't made yourself a problem , so i'm not gonna' jump to any conclusions. but if i should be on my toes , i'd rather ask outright.   ❜ a smile tugs at his lips. ❛   so ? friend or foe ?   ❜

the amazon exist like a myth, truly known only to their estranged daughter, princess diana. she thinks of her sisters with every single breath she exhales, and yet she has never felt further away from them. so was the cost of leaving paradise: she may never return. sadness swells in her heart, but for steve rogers, she finds a smile buried beneath the debris. ❛ captain rogers, are you deciding whether or not i am a threat? ❜ innocence coats her words, but no mistake should be made---- diana of themyscira is capable of bringing empires to their knees.

[apologizelater]

❛   you are definitely one of a kind. ❜ a relaxed smile curves the soldiers lips as he lets his gaze absently flick over tony's features. there's something statuesque about both stark's that steve has known ---- sharp features , easy smiles. it's cocky , but it's earned. both were geniuses &* well worth the renown accumulated. even if steve would be hard pressed to sing tony's praises.

❛ stark's angels ?   ❜ brows knit , confusion clear. HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE REFERENCE. hasn't had the time to catch up on all media just yet. ❛   ------ should i prove it ? the feats of strength , i mean. how much do you weigh , anthony ? forty one tons ? ❜

a soft chuff of a scoff escapes the super soldier as he shakes his head. he leans toward his drawing a bit , squinting in the sunlight as he shades in a bit of detail. ❛   where i'm from , you don't just go around insulting people , stark. we had manners. ❜ steve looks over to him finally as he gives his wrist a break. ❛   besides , i wasn't trying to insult it. i think it's a technological feat. but i don't exactly expect modesty from a stark. ❜ shoulders rise &* fall , then his eyes close as he tilts his head back to let the sun warm his face. a coy little smirk tugs at his lips. ❛   just sticks out like a sore thumb with all the brick around here. but , then again . . .

the idea of more aliens attacking earth makes him scowl , though. he never thought he'd miss just regular old bad guys. ❛   no more aliens are going to come through. they know who they're messing with now. ❜ the confidence in his tone really could inspire. he cracks open an eye as his head lolls in tony's direction , baby blue focusing on tony. ❛   i am pretty good at heavy lifting , though. i think howard estimated about forty tons. ❜
