🎼 A song that reminds me of my muse’s vibes

attention — newjeans ( this remix especially )

ever since i heard this remix i've been looking for any excuse to say that it makes me think of nicolette in every conceivable way. it's very cunt and very her.

미묘 — yezi

the vibes are don't care, didn't ask + i'm better than you. i love the arrogance and superiority of it all, and the fact that it has such an upbeat but also sexy vibe to it. ❛ even if i mumble you can hear me so clearly, i'm the best at making you mad ❜ it's very nicolette, even the singer's mannerisms and style.

✨ A theme song for my muse

GOOD ENEMY — PVRIS

i think this song really encapsulates nicolette's self-destructive nature and self-loathing. it's both in a metaphorical sense, like a statement on how she views herself, but also the literal sense of her blood powers, which require physical harm to be used. ❛ i hold the knife by the blade, 'cause I know how to take the pain ❜ like the mistreatment she endured as a child, this is another kind of pain she's grown accustomed to, enough to not even give it a second thought, even if it hurts. ❛ I don't want peace, I would rather bleed, all the misery loves company, and I can't break free ❜ things like dying alone and being filled with regret but without a cure are stated very bluntly in the song too, as if indisputable and accepted fact. but there's also a kind of pride in it, almost like bragging. ❛ i love a good enemy, and baby, it's me ❜ embracing the chaos even while it brings you suffering.

🖤 A song for our muses’ ship

INVU — taeyeon

ummmmm this song makes me scream cry and throw up over wangyico. i have listened to it so many times doing replies it's sickening. the themes about loving someone you're not supposed to or who you know will eventually leave. ❛ falling in love, to you i'm just an option. you and i were different from the beginning ❜. but even if you know something is only gonna end badly, you can't help how you feel. ❛ even if i push you away, i can't beat you. even i abandon myself and lose myself more ❜ ❛ it hurts but i can't stop it, so when you leave, please make it easy ❜ hey. what if i died?

ISLAND — youha

ON A HAPPIER NOTE i love this song for them too. the lyrics are so tender and romantic, about being someone's safe place. being the person they can be their truest self with. ❛ take me to a place where there's only you and only me, sometimes. I'm not afraid, everything is a paradise that began between you and me ❜ if that sentiment isn't the very foundation of nicolette and wang yi's bond then i don't know what is!!! they are the 1 person the other can be fully real and open in front of without any fear of shame or rejection!!! they are each other's island!!!

⚡ A song that my muse would listen to

HEAT — tove lo , BRAND NEW BITCH — COBRAH

nicolette especially like loud, cunty music that she can dance to in a club

Fun Facts About Your Tav!

Thank you for the tags, @pinkberrytea and @kalmiaphlox !!! ❤️❤️

Answering for my Tav/Durge Ofelia from With Stars to Fill My Dream! No pressure tags for my lovely friends @verbenaa @preciouslittlebhaalbae @inkymoonbunny @ladyduellist @justabiteofspite @khywren @coyote-mint @bardic-inspo @roguishcat @elinorbard @allymcfee @busy-baker @nerdallwritey @nerdalmighty @lanafofana

Ofelia 🩸

1. Is Your Character Good, Evil, or Neutral? (Makes some good decisions, some bad ones?)

Ofelia's Lawful/Neutral Good- she's not afraid to stand up for herself or those less fortunate and will do what's right even when facing opposition. I answered the questions in this alignment quiz from her perspective, but she's generally a rule breaker, especially when those rules are unjust. If they end up hurting people she's likely to ignore them and break them completely.

2. What Hobbies Do They Partake In?

Since she's a bard, I feel like it's kind of self explanatory lol. Since that's the obvious answer, I'll go more in-depth into the ones she doesn't really talk about that much. She loves to journal- memories are really important to her, and since she'd moved around so much during her childhood, remembering the people and places that left an impression via writing it down became a ritual for her. She loves to photograph things in her spare time, by no means a professional, but she'll often take those photos and put them in her journal. She also loves to read!

3. Do They Own Any Heirlooms From Their Family or Ancestors?

Not really... that question has a bit of a difficult answer. I have some things planned for later in Act 3 that will kind of answer this question, but since they're insane spoilers I won't talk about them.

As for her Earth family, she has some recipes she usually makes to remember them by, as well as her adopted mother's hairstyle- the high braid.

4. Can Your Character Cook?

Since recipes were mentioned before, yes! She's best at making hispanic cuisine, especially her adopted mother's signature dish- pazole! Her other favorites to make are pretty much stealing from my own palette so lots of more ethnic foods.

5. Does Your Character Have a Best Friend?

At this point in the story, she'd probably consider Shadowheart the closest thing to a best friend so far. As for her Earth friends, she did have two who she was going to reach out to before the mind flayer ship took her. Their names were Hannah and Arianna- and they were all in a band together in high school!

6. Their Biggest Fear?

Ofelia's biggest fear is feeling like she'll never belong anywhere. She only had a real family once, and they were taken from her when Bhaal did his fun little possession thing that he does. Aside from them, she's met nothing but terrible people using their positions for their own gain and not caring what happened to those around them. Friends were either killed off by Bhaal when he was able to latch on from so far away or were forcibly removed from her life when she was moved to another foster family. Knowing that she hasn't been able to make genuine connections- whether it be by those means or self-sabotage out of fear of eventually losing them- is something that haunts her the most.

7. Name One of Their Red Flags.

She's generally okay, but I feel like her spells of falling victim to her father's influence are a pretty big one. Chapter 8 was not a shining example of her self-control, lol. She's quick to anger, and will most definitely fly off the handle if she feels like she's been mistreated or disrespected. Not to mention her less-than-stellar track record with communication- which will be biting her in the ass pretty soon in the story.

Again- thank you for tagging me! Sorry this took ages to complete, I have asks to get to as well and I am working on it! (today is pretty shitty, I have to go back to an insane amount of emails at work after being on vacation as well as the overall crap state of my country now, so I'll be fighting for my life lol)

Hell yeah!

57 for 🩸:

Eddie doesn’t think much of it when Buck says he’s made dinner plans with Maddie. 

“I think I’ll probably be over there for a while, so maybe don’t wait up for me,” he explains. 

“Okay,” Eddie replies easily. “I’m glad you two are hanging out again.”

Eddie knows their relationship has been fractured. A second set of siblings fractured on his account. He wants Buck and Maddie to mend things as much as he wants Sophia and Adriana to. Though, he doesn’t think the former situation was ever nearly as bad as the latter. 

“Yeah,” Buck smiles, expression a bit muted. “Me too.”

Buck waits until everyone is home before he leaves. It’s weird. Sophia is making Eddie and Chris sit down to watch a telenovela episode with her, but before they can, Buck gives them all a weirdly formal goodbye for just going to his sister’s for dinner. He gives them all a hug. Ruffles Christopher’s hair. Leaves Eddie with a bit of a lingering kiss. 

“You going off to war?” Eddie teases him before he goes. 

“If Chim cooks,” Buck replies lightheartedly. 

He doesn’t actually leave until they’re all planted in front of the TV, engrossed in the episode. 

An hour passes before any of them considers moving again.

“If Buck is gone, who’s cooking?” Chris asks after his stomach grumbles.

“I can cook!” Sophia protests. 

“Do you want to cook?” Eddie asks. 

“Well, no,” she admits. 

“Pizza?” Eddie suggests. 

“Sure,” Sophia agrees. “If you order, I’ll go pick it up. Save on the delivery charge?”

“Sounds good,” Eddie says. 

“Great,” she replies, getting up off the couch and walking towards the front hall. 

Eddie grabs his phone to start ordering. He’s still using Buck’s card. He’s going to have to get all his stuff unfrozen. Prove himself not dead. That will be complicated. Probably a huge pain in the ass. But a necessary one.

“Hey, Eddie?” Sophia calls from across the room.

“Yeah?”

“Maybe order it for delivery,” she says. “I can’t find the keys right now and I’m too hungry to go on a wild goose chase.”

Eddie chuckles. “Okay. Delivery it is.”

“Wild goose chase is a silly expression,” Chris says. “Do you ever chase pet geese?” 

“I guess I don’t,” Sophia concedes. She walks back to the couch and flops down beside Chris. “I have chased chickens before, though.”

“Chickens?” Chris wrinkles his nose. 

“Yep! Spent a weird week at a friend’s aunt’s farm when I was in university.”

48 for 🦮:

“If you don’t send me the total for half, I’ll just send what I think it is, and then some.”

“You’re impossible.” Buck groans. 

“Text me the bill?” 

“Fine.”

Eddie nods, triumphant. “Thank you. Is Chris okay?” 

“I don’t know,” Buck sighs. “I hope so? I feel like I didn’t handle it well. I was so freaked out about Cranberry, but he was upset, and I didn’t want him to be upset, but I was upset. We talked, and I hope he knows it’s all water under the bridge.” 

“Hmm,” Eddie muses. 

“What?”

“It just sounds like you handled it like a parent.” 

Buck stills. 

“Honestly, Buck. I’d have probably reacted the same way.”

“Thank you,” Buck whispers. “That’s reassuring.”

“I think your instincts there are better than you think,” Eddie says. 

“Well, it’s… I mean, I can’t really know. I’m not actually a parent.”

Eddie shakes his head. “Buck, it took me years of being his literal parent to have any instincts at all. I still don’t know if I’m doing it right half the time.” 

“You are, Eddie. He’s incredible.”

“He almost committed Golden Retriever manslaughter.” 

“Eddie!”

“I’m joking. I know he’s a great kid. I’m proud of him every single day. You know this.”

“I know.”

“What I’m trying to say is, I guess… I still don’t always trust my instincts every day. And maybe you won’t trust yours ever fully, either. But I trust your instincts, fully. More than anyone.”

Buck takes a sharp inhale. 

“Eddie…”

“I mean it, Buck. It’s why I…”

“Why you what?” Buck asks.

Chris has an independent spirit like that. It was one area where Eddie and his parents always disagreed when it came to raising him; Eddie wanted to feed that spirit, they wanted to coddle it. Anyway, they weren’t there anymore. Obviously. So Eddie sat on a bench and watched him swing. 

He didn’t mean to fall asleep. 

Really, he never would have sat down if he thought he would. He’d been driving for hours. Sneaking only sparing portions of food. Entertaining his kid. He was dead tired. He was always dead tired. He just didn’t know he was so tired it almost led to their deaths. 

What must have been several minutes after sitting down, Eddie woke to Chris shrieking at a zombie that came ambling towards them. If one of its legs hadn’t been shattered already, it might have gotten to them, too. Before Eddie could get his act together enough to shoot it. He threw up in a bush after he blew off its head. Not because he was bothered by the violence. Because of how close he’d come to losing everything. 

The time before that - the second time -  was a nearly avoided car accident. Not really Eddie’s fault. They were driving overnight and a group of three zombies sprinted out onto the road. Swerving to avoid them had been a very close call. One that left Christopher sobbing. Eddie feels the least guilty about that instance, even though it had scared him badly. He’s testy now, driving at night through municipal areas. 

The first time Christopher almost died during the zombie apocalypse was the worst. The one that Eddie still can’t believe didn’t permanently fuck him up. Eddie thinks it fucked him up pretty majorly. It was worse than anything he saw overseas. But maybe that was just because it was personal. 

El Paso had fared better than a lot of cities after the outbreak. At least at first.

“Oh,” Buck says. “Uh, thank you, Bobby.”

“How’s therapy going?” Bobby asks.

“Good,” Buck nods. “Not as fast as I’d hoped.”

“Fast?” Bobby asks.

“I guess once Eddie convinced me to go, and I decided to believe it might work, I thought it would be like, a switch flipping?” Buck explains. “Like one day I’d have a big breakthrough, cry a lot, then be free.”

“Oh,” Bobby nods. “Right. No. That won’t happen.”

“Thanks,” Buck frowns.

“I mean, it might?” Bobby back pedals. “The crying and the breakthrough parts. Not the instantly free part, though.”

“Does that ever come?” Buck asks.

“I’ll let you know if I find out.”

Buck nods. “Fair enough.”

“You just keep doing the work, anyway.” Bobby advises. “That’s all you can do.”

“And it gets easier?” Buck asks.

“It gets easier.” Bobby confirms. “Most of the time.”

Hi vampire arle anon here. Seems kind of weird to just refer to myself as that. Like 🎭 anon, I'll also give myself an emoji. 🩸 (i thought it might fit given the vampire shtick)

Anyways. Ty 🎭 anon for filling in the blanks of my last ask, again, all my knowledge comes from the wiki. This is such an amazing idea and I'm glad I can help. And speaking of brainrot :)), here's some ideas:

Succubus arle? Succubus arle? Succubus arle? It's not a want, it's a need. If you know what a succubus is, I don't need to say any more, your imagination can go wild there.

Demon arle? Demon arle? Demon arle? What if you summon a demon in your time of need and the most breathtaking, handsome, jawdropping demon appears, saving you like a godsent angel. Once she's finished slaughtering everyone and is bathed in whoever dares to hurt you, she towers over your trembling form, still covered in blood, and she extends a hand. "The Knave at your service~"

(All the bonus points to this concept if its like the anime, Black Butler. In Black Butler, the main character forms a contrast with a demon in exchange for allowing the demon to eat his soul after the main character has accomplished his goal. The demon just becomes his butler afterwards and god. There is so many things I want to see Arle do in a tailcoat and a tie. Just the thought of Arle calling you 'master,' completely loyal, and doing anything at your bidding. Please 😮‍💨)

Probably out of character for arle, but gentleman thief arle and you're the detective??? And she just flirts with you and leaves you flowers at every scene (and drags you into an alleyway when you're chasing her and fucks you until you can't walk and then leaves with a goodbye kiss when you're literally twitching on concrete??)

I'm not obsessed. What are you talking about. Anyways, I thought since you always feed us so well you deserve some food for thought :DD

-🩸

literally anything she wants, i am hers.

she can feed off my soul, idc. fuck me so good i feel like i've died! eat well, ma'am 😁🙏

i love arle in a suit also. i am also in love with the idea of her having a scythe with blood elements. and her protecting us and literally handling all the danger...yum.

also the idea of her princess carrying her darling, being very chivalrous teehee.

i also need her to take that jacket off and show us that she's absolutely ripped. and then use those muscles to hold her darling up and fuck her in an alleyway! whew.

don't get me started on her claws, too. need them dug into my hips stat

also, welcome to the club, 🩸 anon!!! you are so sweet, thank you for the food ♡

Necro, who was the kindest person in your life? And what was the hardest sacrifice you've made— literally or figuratively?

Apple Core, what was your most challenging experience as a Sensei?

Prince, O lord of fashion, which if your fits and/or forms is your absolute favorite?

Magomon, what's your opinion on Tamers in general?

Officer, my good sir, what was the toughest case you've helped or had to solve? Any solo cases?

UT, what are your favorite holiday traditions in the Underground and Surface world?

🩸: "There hasn't been a sacrifice thats been that hard for me to perform. The only thing I truly regret sacrificing is my ability to smell normal ever again. Seriously, I tried bathing multiple times and used every single perfume, cologne, all the scent products... AND I STILL CANT GET RID OF THE ROITING CORPSE SMELL!!

As for who's the kindest person I know? Well... the obvious answer would be Kirby... but there's also this snowman that has been helping me with my research, perhaps I could talk about them some other time."

-

🍏: "Most challenging things as a sensei? Well, to perfectly honest, it's the students that are, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, require a lot of patience from me. For example; I have this one student who is just, again I mean this in the nicest way possible, a stubborn wanna-be-cool-guy.

Don't get me wrong, he does have a lot of potential to be a Skylander and I can see him becoming one in the future... BUT he's just has a really bad habit of wanting to do things all by himself because he's 'so cool' with his high running speeds and cool dragon sword, only to get his ass handed to him one way or the other. I thought Blades' cockiness when he became a Skylander was bad, that student takes the cake!!!"

-

👑: "Favorite outfit? My goodness!! That's like picking between my own children!! But... if I had to pick just one.... like, you holding a knife to my back and forcing me to pick just one, then I'm gonna pick the robes I wore to my wedding. They were so sparkly and beautiful, I truly felt special on my special day~! As for forms, the Prince Form is my favorite. I like the height boost, elegance, and a sense of power in that form, hehehe~"

-

🎩: "My thoughts on Tamers? Well, I have said before that there have been tales and legends of humans being involved with digimon. I've always found it fascinating, as those legends have told of humans granting digimon power they could never get on their own. I kinda wished to see something like that happen one day... Little did I know that I was gonna get a human myself, hehe!!

Susie has been lots of fun to travel with, and the power she grants me and Marxamon has been incredible (tho I wish evolving into Crownedmon wasn't so mentally scaring and painful)!! I could have never asked for a better human partner!! Me and Marxamon are her 'goodiest boys'!! 'Goodiest' is not a grammatically correct word, but I let it slide because she gives me hugs and pets!♡♡♡"

-

🚔: "Funnily enough, my toughest case was actually my first solo case!! The case of Artie Flopshark, a poker guru that was supposed to be dead, as he was killed by Flint Paper. According to some of the records, Artie's bank account was still active, depositing and withdrawing money regularly as if he was alive. And there had been reports of Artie being near abandoned graveyards across the country. Flint Paper couldn't track him down for the life of him, so he assumed it had been some kind of 'witchcraft' that made this guy untraceable. So Flint gave the case to me since I'm a mage and stuff (witchcraft and my magic are obviously two different things, but I let it slide). Sam and Max had a lot of faith that I could handle this on my own, so I took on the challenge just to make them proud. The weeks of trying to find this guy felt like the longest weeks of my life! But I was able to find him.

Long Story Short; It turned out Artie Flopshark was revived as a zombie like monster by a bunch of teenage wizards that were messing around with dark arts (kinda sounds familiar). When the wizards successfully revived him, they freaked out and left him behind. Artie was able to get a hold on that dark arts book that they coincidently dropped and used it to get around the county's graveyards. He was hosting nightly poker nights to get his funds back for his new undead life, inviting all sorts of creeps and ghouls to play games of Texas Hold'em. In fear of being killed again by Flint, Artie used magic to keep himself untrackable from any living being on earth. Which I was able to work around the effects because I'm not from earth, hehe~!!

I felt kinda bad for him since even mentioning Flint Paper made him scream in panic, so did Artie a favor and helped him get a restraining order on Flint. I got my paycheck and a celebration surprise from Sam and Max that they planned for me for completing my first solo case, a VIP trip to The Inventory for drinks, dinner, and poker."

-

💙: "Well damn, ol' gunner boy spoke in whole paragraphs! Ok, favorite holiday.... I gotta give it to Halloween, dude. Monsters seem to enjoy Halloween a lot, and I can see why, as my best memories here are sometimes related to Halloween. Like on our first trick-or-treating, Frisk dressed up as a witch and made me their little 'black cat' by dressing me in a black cat onesie. I was carried around in their backpack as we went around the neighborhood. And when I got my monster form perfected, me and Frisk did even cooler matching costumes! Mario and Luigi, Dipper and Mabel, Steven and Amethyst, Freddy and Bonnie, heck we even Sans and Papyrus a few times! (which the bros really liked)

Even though I moved out of Toriel's house after I got married, Frisk and I still go trick-or-treating together every Halloween with our matching costumes. And Frisk hasn't grown out of trick-or-treating just yet, so we'll be continuing this little tradition of ours for a few more years! And I'll be enjoying every moment."

When I flew to Korea. My biggest fear was starting my cycle right there on the plane🤣 cause it was due and a little late. Shout out to irregular cycles~ kidding kind of. Also mainly because the week before my flight I saw a video where the girl talked about how it suddenly happened mid flight the day she was traveling and it unlocked a new fear for me.

It waited til I entered my apartment in korea like within an hour I just was like oh no. Thank whoever was watching over me and was giving me good luck that day, and it also happened before the dinner I had to go to while I was still in the apartment. And also thankful @ myself that I packed like a 6 month supply for no reason other than just in case💀

Also sorry for the overshare I saw you got it in Japan while crouching to look at something lmao. And it activated that fear of it happening on a plane thought. I hope you got to handle that quickly or had something on you were close by so you didn’t have to tough it out. Also do you like pack let’s say your going somewhere for a week or two but you pack like 3 months of underwear you know incase you shit yourself 3 times a day every day for those two weeks and change your underwear 5 times a day for some unknown reason🤣 not that you would or that it’s ever happened but just incase that’s the one time it does. Or am I insane. It’ll be like 2 jeans 1 shorts and like 7 shirts. And pjs. But 3 months of undies and socks and period stuff)

[cont.] Can’t believe I talked about periods and shitting yourself hypothetically all in the same ask I’m so sorry🤣 My brain just caught up to that ask I just sent💀

period talk under the cut because we're bloody bitches 🌊🩸

whenever my cycle is coming up, i'll usually wear a panty liner at least two days before it's supposed to start... if the anxiety is bad (e.g. before a big flight or any event where i cant change undies) then i might even wear a whole ass pad a few days before it starts lol

lucky you that your period started before leaving your apartment HAKSDJKAS ive had experiences where im at lengthy dinner parties with no extra pads in my bag and just had to Suffer (hence why i wear dark pants most of the time... but have i started to bring pads in my bag? who can say...) but during my Squatting Incident™️, i was not close to my hotel so i was actually forced to Tough It Out for at least five more hours... it was pain, but i also got to buy an animal crossing cup for my troubles so i suppose it wasnt too bad... but the horrors... at least it didnt permanently stain my clothes 💀

i also do tend to pack a lot of pads when i travel around when my cycle starts because i do not trust international feminine products HKASDJKAS nothing against them but when youre at your lowest (i.e. your period), sometimes a little bit of home can help you a long way... I WILL SAY THO that my last period when i was in japan was unexpectedly stronger than usual... hence the whole squatting blood flood that triggered this entire conversation LMAO but yeah i ran out of pads and had to grab some from family mart... also i dont know japanese so i guess i grabbed the night time pads bc man those pads were like DIAPERS... covered my whole ass but it was thin enough that i didnt look like i was shitting my pants or smth lol

as for clothes... yes i do that thing too LMAOOO underwear is just touching WAY TOO MANY potentially disastrous areas that having extras is a necessity... i do admit though that in my past couple of travels, i have been packing more savvy than my usual anxious self... MINUS THE JAPAN TRIP BECAUSE AGAIN FOR SOME REASON I DECIDED TO PACK LIGHT??? so yeah i had to do my laundry once during the trip but that was my first time ever underpacking underwear (wow an assonance) and i had to google comprehensive steps on how to operate japanese washing machines because my social anxiety forbids me from Fumbling in Public because i think i'll be executed

anyway. i know none of you are reading all that. so tldr... ive been menstruating for years and yet somehow i am not an expert. what are the odds!!!

[lemonhemlock]

I was on Twitter and Will Bowers posted that he hoped the Aegon scene was a fakeout. Given that we know now that Dyana will be returning next season it does beg certain questions.

Twitter seems to think she may be out for revenge and team up with Mysaria for 🩸and 🧀, perhaps being in league with Talya the whole time who makes fake moontea. Which idk why that would be righteous thing, team black utterly baffles me at times.

Yet given the honest confusion on Aegon’s face when confronted with the accusation by Alicent do you think such a scenario is possible.

Would be bold of hotd to have a woman make a false rape accusation and I really don’t know how that would go down but part of me really wants it to be the case. I’m sick to death of debating with team black stans that Aegon not only has a claim to the Iron Throne but in fact a stronger one than Rhaenyra, only to be called a rapist defender.

Which is not at all my argument but these comments slowly push me toward just outright claiming Egg2 would be a better king out of spite.

The show runners claimed they wanted to make Aegon gray and yet make TGC a rapist in his first appearance. Nothing gray about that my friend. So if it all turns out to be a lie what do you think the fall out will be ?

Love the blog 💚

Anonymous asked: did you know that Dyana from episode 8 is coming back and will be in 4 more episodes??? apparently actor's own agency confirmed it. I'm speechless...... what role can she possibly have that requires so many episodes? are they trying to bury the greens for good in the eyes of the audience? every leak is a disaster, and worse than the previous one

hi, guys, i already talked about this topic in the dyanna tag and i have an entire other tag where i make my stance on leaks speculation. likewise, i spoke many times about how i don't like and don't agree with this writing choice of straight-up turning aegon into westerosi satan from the get-go. but what's done is done, there's no point in denying what was shown on screen. he's written as a rapist and the scenes are made to be interpreted as rape, not as some smear campaign that'll later turn into a gotcha moment. IF we ever get out hands on the scripts, it would be very interesting to compare what the original plan looked like and what they changed on the fly / if they changed anything at all / if aegon was always meant to be this awful from the very beginning etc

as much as i would like them to retcon that in some way, idek if it's worth it at this point, bc portraying women lying on screen about rape is much more damaging than losing fictional civil wars involving flying lizards. we need more nuanced media surrounding sexual assault and women's issues and perhaps hotd is not the appropriate medium for this as the writers seem incapable in many ways of handling a delicate subject like that. yes, i think it was a mistake that compromises the quality of the narrative and, no, i don't think hotd is necessarily going to offer us groundbreaking feminist commentary, but dyanna the fake rape victim is really bottom of the barrel stuff - like, even they could & should do much better than that.

also, to be honest, i don't think the writers are particularly interested in making aegon a complex character, unfortunately. maybe they'll compensate with this characterization in some other ways, though; i am not excluding the possibility of redress. we'll live and see.

[nevermore-grimes]

All I needed was just one person to ask about this for me to go absolutely crazy and talk all about it. So, thank you, @parasafterdark! You made me so happy! I'm going to absolutely overload you with too much information, now. 🤣

TW: Images of blood, sexual themes, and mentions of violence, gore, and the like under the cut

Also, this is pretty fucked up in general, so, like, prepare yourself… 😅

𝕹𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖒𝖔𝖗𝖊'𝖘 𝕭𝖑𝖔𝖔𝖉𝖑𝖚𝖘𝖙 🩸

Time for another Macbethian history lesson (You can find the first history lesson here)! In the castle's treasury, there's an old tapestry depicting a fire Elemental turning against and fighting the other three Elementals.

This tapestry was associated with a prophecy, called The Prophecy of Hell's Elemental, which said that one fire Elemental would be created to be the harbringer of evil with an insatiable thirst for blood, and they would be fated to destroy the other Elementals, bringing chaos and disorder to the Elemental lineage, as well as the world around them.

Fast-forward to Nevermore's generation, and as she grew older, the people of Macbeth speculated that she would be Hell's Elemental. It got so bad to the point where her own family (with the exception of Aerith) even began to believe it.

My brain has yet to decide whether or not the prophecy actually has a hand in Nevermore's Bloodlust, but here's what I do know about it so far:

Nevermore's Bloodlust is a temporary state of mind. In short, it makes her very kinky, but I'll get to that in a moment, lmaooo!

When she's Bloodlusted, her eyes glow red, and red veins show through her skin (similar to those of the middle reference photo, but more vivid and intense). Her sword and some of her other Elemental abilities also slightly alter in appearance.

I mentioned in this post that I use the term Bloodlust literally in this context, and I meant it. While Bloodlusted, Nevermore is driven by intense sexual desires relating to spilling, feeling, and tasting blood. It's all very sensual for her. It also has to specifically be from a live person (because they're still warm~).

This also, in turn, makes Nevermore more violent than usual. Some people believe that it actually makes her stronger, but there's no noticeable alteration to her physical skillset. She just kind of goes into a killing frenzy.

At first, Nevermore wasn't able to control it, but now she can incite Bloodlust at will. This didn't change the fact that Nick Fury and the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. began to view her as a threat, though. So, once she returned to work, the agents began to either run away from or mock her. Though this wasn't the thing that ultimately made Fury decide to fire her, it was definitely one of them.

Nevermore also hated (and feared) her Bloodlust when it first manifested, but Aerith and Loki were the most supportive of her during her struggles to get a handle on it. Loki even let Nevermore feed off of him, hehehe! 🤭

One interesting scene I remembered was during a fight between Nevermore and Thanos, she was injured so badly she could barely move, but once she incited Bloodlust, she was so turned on that she was able to pretty much ignore all the pain in her body and keep fighting (It was an arena fight that she ended up winning, btw). So, I didn't even consider that it, in a sense, gave her a second wind.

So... do you regret asking me to elaborate on Nevermore's Bloodlust, yet? 🤣

Quid pro quo...if you have the time, of course. Care to answer the emoji OC asks questions?

bless u 🙏🏻 thank you !!!

🩸 - Does your OC believe in blood being thicker than water? (meaning family relationships and loyalties are the most important)

Ren doesn't talk to his family at all so nah. He hadn't had contact with his parents for almost 15 years before left for Halcyon.

However, he was married once upon a time and would have done anything for his husband.

✂️ - What kind of thing would have your OC cut someone out of their life? How likely are they to let someone back in?

This goes oddly well with the above ! For the most part, if you go against his morals, he's not going to keep you around in his life. He spent years trying to make his parents happy and proud of him only to realize he'd wasted his time because he didn't want to be anything like them, not really. So, he's pretty quick to cut someone out for a while. And he doesn't care enough usually to let anyone back in.

It changes in Halcyon, though, because he knows and trusts so few people, but needs all the help he can get. So he learns to be a little less aggressive with his judgments. Max pushes this boundary a lot :)

🎭 - Does your OC show different sides of themselves to different people?

In general, no. Ren is 37 when he wakes up in a completely new world that is falling the fuck apart, and he stopped caring about what other people thought of his quirks a long time ago.

That being said, he does hide the fact that he's a Hope colonist for a while. He only lets himself be that vulnerable with Parvati (bc she accidentally found out when she first boarded) and Phineas for a while. He eventually tells them on Monarch, though and after that, he's kind of an open book.

🩺 - Does your OC accept help easily? Are they willing to admit when they need help?

Ren only accepts help if he believes he truly needs it. He's actually not a terrible judge of needing help, he has a bit of a colored past on Earth and lived on his own for a decade during that time, so he really can handle a lot on his own.

Sometimes he is wrong tho, and he is impossible to convince short of just helping him without his say in the matter.

💡 - How does your OC enact plans? Do they plan down to the smallest details, or do the wing it?

A bit in the middle. Ren's not gonna go into a situation with out some kind of plan (usually), but he's not meticulous with it. He gives an outline and fills in the finer details on the go.

🌋 - What’s your OCs temper like? Are they a slow boil, or an instant explosion?

Slow boil. He's not usually super quick to anger, unless he's dealing with the Board, but he also does not communicate well so sometimes he lets it simmer a bit too long 🥴

⏰ - What is your OC like at timekeeping? Are they punctual, or always running late?

Ren is actually a very punctual person. He grew up that way as a kid, and had to be for some of his past jobs on Earth. So, if Ren shows up late to something, he did it on purpose.

🎁 - What kind of gift-giver are they? Do they give thoughtful gifts? Expensive gifts? Practical gifts?

Practical or meaningful (ideally both). He and his husband both didn't really care for extravagance in their lives for a few reasons, plus Ren never really had a lot of money after he left his parents, so practical made more sense to him anyway.

📎 - How organised is your OC? Do they keep on top of responsibilities, or leave things to the last minute?

Like the timekeeping, Ren is shockingly on top of his shit when he wants to be. He was a paramedic right before he left for Halcyon, and he passed all his tests with flying colors. He just needed to want to stay on top of it.

🧸 - On a scale of 1 - 10, how ‘soft’ is your OC? 1 being the edgiest of edges and 10 being a literal teddy bear that cries at everything? (Bonus questions, where on the scale would your OC place themselves, and where would they like to be on the scale?)

By the time he's in Halcyon, Ren is like a 6, he definitely lets himself soften a bit as he gets older (his late husband helped with that too)

Ren would probably accurately say he's a 6, however he absolutely loves that a lot of people would look at him and think he'd be closer to a 3 (and at one point in his life he was way more 'edgy')

💬 - Is your OC much of a talker? Do they only speak when spoken to? (Or not even then?) Do they ever talk over others?

Ren kinda doesn't shut up if he doesn't want to. That's actually often a good indication that something is wrong, is if he hasn't talked in a while. He lets his crew speak and listens as often as he talks, but he rarely lets there be unnecessary silence. Mostly, it's just because he's got a lot to say.

🌅 - What is your OCs favourite time of day? Are they a morning person or a night owl?

Ren is a night owl, 1000% but can function in the mornings if needed. He tries not to need it.

🥦 - Does your OC eat healthily or live off junk food?

Halcyon offers very little, and Ren is a terrible cook... however after the events of the game he does make an effort to eat healthier especially after they make some breakthroughs in making real nutrient rich foods in the colony.

🍹 - Does your OC drink? If so, what’s their drink of choice?

Ren drinks socially, which in Halcyon tends to be often, but he usually sticks to one or two drinks for the night. He's not afraid to admit he loves the Purpleberry Wine.

🍺 - What kind of drunk are they? (e.g. talkative, sleepy, flirty etc.)

Ren tries not to get drunk but when he does he's absolutely flirty. He's kinda a flirt anyway but it's way worse when he drinks.

𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝑵𝑶𝑵𝑽𝑬𝑹𝑩𝑨𝑳 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑷𝑻𝑺 . » NOT ACCEPTING

@pratisodha asked: 20 and/or 90 :) ↳ 20. sender  lifts  receiver's  chin ,  invoking  eye  contact . 90. sender  helps  receiver  patch  up  a  wound .

A sharp hiss sucks in through grit teeth as scarred fingers nurse the aching wound making a home along the curve of her waist. It throbs with every slight bit of movement, somewhat severe, yet far from deadly; although, while she's found herself in worse states, it hurts all the same.

Pain is pain, and used to it as she may be, Nicolette hardly enjoys it in this particular context.

Complaints come out breathless and strained, ending in a whine as her companion remains nearby. ❝ I think my nose is broken... my good looks... ❞

Stumbling, the woman reaches out to catch herself along the wall, rough brick scraping her palm and eliciting a sharp gasp. The twisting of her body agitates jagged, cut skin and tears the layer of freshly clotted blood. A sudden warmth seeps past stained fingers and slips down her side, refilling the air with the harsh scent of iron.

It burns something fierce, edges of split flesh red and inflamed, rubbed raw by her shirt. Nicolette tightens her grip, forcing the distraction of pain back until her focus sharpens and the stream of blood becomes sluggish, then stops entirely. Her legs give out by then, body slipping down the wall to shiver pitifully on the ground. Her tone become despairing as she continues, ❝ Ugh, God... I'm gonna throw up— ❞

Perhaps it's her warning, or the pathetic moaning and groaning, but Ramattra seems to lose both his patience and ability to stubbornly ignore her. Her vision swims, painting him in blurred shades of black and purple as he moves closer and crouches down, becoming clear only once he's near enough to cast her wilted frame in shadow. The sensation of cool metal digging into her chin knock all thoughts from her mind, pale neck bending back as their eyes are forced to meet. She whimpers and squirms only for a moment before settling under the scrutinizing. His grip is not gentle, but neither is it particularly painful, as her face is tilted back and forth.

A black eye and bruises blooming on the bridge of a bloody nose and cheek, but nothing dire. He tells her as much, sounding exasperated as though disappointed by a missed opportunity to deliver bad news. Even so, the reassurance relaxes much of the tension in her shoulders and allows exhaustion to creep up, so much so that she struggles staying upright when he releases his firm hold.

Things quickly go fuzzy around the edges, and her eyes drop half-mast. The sound of his voice passes through her ears, distant and muffled like they've been stuffed with cotton, but Nicolette thinks he orders her to stay awake, though it's hardly out of concern. ❝ 'm tryin'.... 's hard... ❞ Those cold hands return, lower now, and they seep a chill straight to her bones that makes her flinch. ❝ Ah— ! Fuck! Okay, okay! I'm awake! ❞ The woman groans miserably, only barely catching the tail end of his refusal to ❛ carry her again ❜. She doesn't quite recall that, but it's tempting nonetheless, to test the validity those claims.

Her gaze falls to where the omnic tightly wraps fabric around her abdomen, breathing a soft sight of relief. ❝ You're so confusing... ❞ she mutters, head shaking limply. The machine hardy seems to stand her presence, and she intentionally does not make it any easier to do so, yet this makes more than once that he has not left her to die in the street. Perhaps he simply finds her suffering to be payment enough. The reason matters little though, if it allows her to live another day. ❝ Your bedside manner could use some work... but you really are my hero, Rama— OW! ❞ A particularly rough pull is her punishment for provoking, but she hardly looks guilty, barking out a warbling laugh, instead.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS

❝ That's exactly what I'm doing: it sounded interesting, so I've made it my business. I'm a self-sufficient, freethinking woman— you can't just expect me to sit by without gathering all the facts? ❞

❝ If I did that, well... who knows what wild assumptions I'd make! How irresponsible would that be? ❞
