to be clear i don't ship them - honestly the thought makes my skin crawl - but i really hope that if shrue and VAL ever meet they have a divorced exes who use snark to poorly disguise how much they fucking Loathe each other dynamic, because there is something so psychosexually horrifying about their mutual boss using VAL to gaslight shrue into doubting the reality of their spouse and kids to the point of blowing up their entire life over it to me

what would incorrigible seelie behavior look like for eatd Logan lovingly annoying his bfs? since he seems like the more likely one to do so in that verse

The Grab. not grabby hands, but a recurring scenario in which a loved one walks past logan only to be snatched up and placed in some kind of loving restraint hold and held hostage for an hour or two of cuddling. cant even be like 'i had food on the stove' cuz he'll just magic it from a room over. he is inescapable. if he's feeling especially evil there may be tickling involved

the children yearn for the in-universe Parish of Tide and Flesh lore

like i know they are such an old faith that it must run just so deep, so i actually need to know their every single legend and all the retellings, i want to know what kind of fucked up fairytales they tell their children and what weird ass grim lullabies they sing, i need to know all their hymns and folk songs and the full extensive list of all the traditions and superstitions and and and godddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Writing Accountability

I've seen a couple other people doing this so, wanted to get in on it I guess? Ahaha. . . I want to use this blog more for writing and art again, so, if i have to make it a semi-writeblr, then so be it I guess!

Anyways -- word count is 2,306/300 so far for today

Working on a prequel chapter that was supposed to be short but then. uh. nope. (and i still have the entire other half to write, too. . .)

(The WIP in question is for my Red Scales verse, a RWBY au where Ruby Rose, and her mother, are Wyrms! loosely inspired by the prince lindworm tale. loosely.) A snippet of it is below the cut!

This woman and her husband had tried for many years to have children, but they had never managed. And the woman sought out a doctor, and the woman learned that she was barren, and could never have children of her own blood. And the woman thanked the doctor, and went back to her home and her husband. And the woman tried to be happy, but in the back of her mind, she still wanted for a child. One day, while the woman was wandering, she meets a Witch. And we know that the Witch was a witch, for her skin was as pale as snow, and her hair was as pale as undyed silk, and her eyes were red as blood dropped onto coals, and she was youthful in a way that normal women are not. And the Witch saw the sadness in the woman's eyes, and stopped her. "Wherefore art thou saddened, maiden?" Asked the Witch, for she was an old witch, despite her unnatural youth, and she still spoke in the way of many many years ago. "I am saddened," said the woman, "because I wish to have children, but am barren." The Witch saw the truth in the woman's words, and though she was old, and her heart had grown bitter, the Witch sympathized with the woman. "I, too, had wanted children." The Witch said. "I shall aid thou in thy plight." "On this riverbank, there growest a rosebush." The Witch said. "When the roses bloom, there shall be blooms of red and of silver. If thou dost want a girl, thou must consume a silver flower. If thou dost want a boy, thou must consume a red flower. But never," warned the Witch, "consume more than one flower, for the flowers are of magic, and thy body is suited not for holding such magic." "How can I believe you?" Asked the woman, though secretly, her heart swelled with hope. "Magic is not real." For though the Witch looked like a witch, the woman was still doubtful. At this, the Witch raised her hands and brought forth a small storm in her palms. "I am a Witch, and I am of magic." She said. "Doubt me not, dear maiden, and do as I have said, and thy troubles shall be eased." And so, trusting the Witch, the woman parted ways. And on the next day, the woman went down to the riverbank, and found the rosebush. The buds had not yet bloomed, and so the woman went each day, to check whether they had. And after many days, the woman arrived at the bush to see a most wondrous sight, for all of the roses had bloomed. And just as the Witch had said, there were silver and red roses on the bush.

"I'm not bound by your morals now."

(From Drakken; for whichever muse of yours you feel vibing 😊)

“I am begging you!” Scarlet pleads, placing herself between the hunter and the wolf.

The beast behind her was large, larger than any normal wolf he had ever seen. And if the dark brown fur covering its body was strange in this region, its unnaturally green eyes were even stranger. They almost glow in the full moon light as the wolf stalks closer, teeth bared. A low warning growl rumbles in its throat.

“He’s not a monster! He doesn’t want to hurt anyone! He didn’t ask for this!”

❝ You look so beautiful like this. ❞ / :*

the extravagance of an underworld engagement was not to be denied by any denizen this side of hell. even if the groom-to-be wasn't, for all intents and purposes, the heir apparent of blackened throne of twisted, fisted - flesh and bone.

one would presume the bride would find it a certain benefit to showcase willingly at his side, but she has wandered. wisped away as intoxicatingly as an errant wind. she holds court in her own corner, laughing with a sweetness too sinister for any trained ear to surface sense.

it is incomprehensible to many whether she means to begin bloodshed in the ballroom with this measure or if she is simply uninformed of the appropriate, applicable manners for this setting.

she will let him decide, as she rotates her frame - marble mask donned and damning him from behind the facade with bright eyes and a bitingly cruel curl of cherubic pink lips.

"blissfully ignoring your person and prancing about with a b e v y of better PRICKS?"

her smile only turns sharper, a vanity glass shard.

"you are too K I N D ."

it is a long ways from cuckholdery to k i n g s h i p , after all.

おとぎばなしあかずきんイエロー - Fairytale Little Red Riding Hood Yellow

[not-poignant]

Hi Pia!

I was just wondering why you made the Each Uisge Welsh when he’s a figure from Scottish folklore, particularly the Highlands and Islands. I’m from the Isle of Skye, Scotland, and the loch near my home has it’s own each uisge myth attached to it. Even now, parents will tell kids not to go too close to the water or the each uisge might snatch them away. When I was a little kid, I wouldn’t go on the loch on my dad’s boat because my grandpa had terrified me with stories of the each uisge and I’d convinced myself it was real.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still thrilled to just have an each uisge in fiction, wherever he hails from, and Augus is such an icon.

Ooo it's been years since I've gotten an ask about this.

So yeah, the Each Uisge is Scottish and I actually talked about this a fair bit while I was still actively writing the canon and Augus as a main character (which was I think over 5 years ago now). But it was fully intentional, and ties into the fact that the Each Uisge and Glashtyn shouldn't be sharing a lake at all.

I used to talk about this all the time back when I was still writing the canon. You can see a response to an ask here from 2013 which explains it. And here's some of the relevant info:

Mafydd, like Gwyn, Augus and Ash (in this story - the Glashtyn is usually from Manx and the Each Uisge is usually Scottish, but to make Augus and Ash work as brothers, Augus got uprooted when the lake made a mistake, and now they’re both Welsh) are all Welsh and are all - at this time (at the time of The Drawn Bead) - living in Wales.

This was actually going to be explored in a lot more detail in the fourth installment to the Fae Tales canon, (working title Mirror Realms) where the Nightingale escapes and Gwyn, Augus, and Ash all go down into the underworlds to deal with that, and along the way Augus and Ash meet their mirror counterparts, i.e. the genesis of their fae-realm incarnations, and learn why they were both born into the wrong lake years apart.

But yeah, I think the Raven Prince alludes to this several times as well, that Augus is born in the 'wrong lake' and is an atypical waterhorse because of it.

I'm sure it's in some of the canon side stories but that's a lot of words to ctrl+F through so I'll just leave it as 'oh yeah there's a reason this Each Uisge is so sophisticated and different and has a brother when he shouldn't.' Like, the Glashtyn isn't inherently Welsh either!

It was wholly intentional. I mean if you look closely at all the folklore, it's all messed up - Gwyn's entire family lineage, for example. But Augus and Ash both being born on the fae side of Wales and then both of them being completely fucked up because of it was fully intentional. The Glashtyn doesn't look like that, anon. And the Each Uisge was never supposed to be Gentry Courtier, and yet here we are. :D
