I have a concept for a fanfic that I have to share with someone because I can't get it out of my head, so here goes:

I always see the trope of Amarantha and Rhysand having a daughter, but what if they had a SON.

So, the son was born and died Under the Mountain, Amarantha killed him when he was very young and Rhys never even knew he existed. But, because of the magic that his mother used to trap the High Lords (which is said in the books she doesn't even know what it is or what it does, only that fulfills it's mission) he doesn't die but ends up breaking the barrier between world and falls into another world.

Things happen in between and the boy by chance ends up with his friends in Prythian, and he and Rhys meet. The son ends up living in the Town House, but just part-time because he still spends time with his friends doing their business as people traveling around the multiverse.

To all this, Nyx was already born, the son has hair the color of Amarantha; she killed him leaving him to bleed after tearing off his wings, so now he has scars on his back and since she did not take them out well he suffers from chronic pain because they did not heal well. Rhys doesn't know this, until he sees the scars on his back. Imagine the anguish, his relationship with Nyx which would be a "I wish I had what you have but I want you to have everything at the same time", the drama of succession (because the son is by law of conquest Amarantha's heir and thus could theoretically claim the title of High King of Prithyan if he wishes), And his powers are a consequence of the magic that his mother used when he was born to absorb/eat power and is nicknamed the Cannibal because of that, because he can absorb EVERYTHING from a person if he wants and leave them in ashes.

I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD and I'm thinking about writing it. Any opinions?

Näcken with human!SO hc.

Request: by Circus guest Anon.

Requests open.

I decided to do two separate posts for this. One for Näcken and then one for Nøkken, since my sister informed me Nøkken is the female version.

Hope you enjoy! I decided to do this in an X reader style since that’s what I’m assuming they wanted.

If you want a mini story based off this, just let me know and give me a scenario!

Part 2

Music. That is what you heard when you wandered through the fog.

A sad melancholy song being played from a violin. You didn’t expect to hear something like it when you wandered into the woods late at night despite every warning from every story from your parents.

You had come into the woods looking for your brother, who decided to leave the house during dark. That’s how you met Näcken, who oddly didn’t kill you the first moment he saw you.

You didn’t know you looked strangely similar to the woman he had fallen in love with, his ill mind tricking him into thinking you were her.

Every night you and your brother snuck out after that, him running off to do his own thing while you went and met Näcken. The more time you spent together the more he understood you weren’t really her, you were just yourself.

He won’t let you into the water, his many years in it made him learn that there’s more in there than just him… they just aren’t alive and you’re more likely get a disease rather than drown.

Since he’s met you, he’s been playing more cheerful songs, no longer as depressed as he once was.

Don’t get me wrong, he still kills people that come to his lake when given the chance, but he’s learned not to do it after he almost killed your brother.

Yeah he didn’t see you for a little bit after that. He cried when you visited him again, he was playing pretty depressingly for those few days… he’s very dramatic.

Turns out you were just helping your brother get some rest after he caught a cold from the water. He didn’t really blame Näcken, but you don’t think they’ll be friends for a while.

He has tried to teach you violin when you asked… you almost broke the string but he wasn’t too mad about it.

If you play an instrument, definitely bring it with you the next time you see him. He really would love to play with you.

If you sing, he would love to play along to your voice.

And if you dance, he’ll happily play while you do so.

Don’t bring up his past lover, the wound is still very much there, and the only reason you actually managed to live was because he had tricked himself you were her. It’s best to not bring it up unless he does. By the time he brings it up, he’ll be over her and only really care about you.

He does wish you had met him as a human. He wasn’t the most handsome guy, but he does feel like he was better looking than he is now.

If you like any kind of spice… don’t give it to him. This man is white. One grain of pepper and this man seeing the reaper.

I also feel like he would have a sweet tooth… so many years stuck to the lake, I feel like he’d go feral for a chocolate chip.

If you bake and bring him some kind of pastry, he’s keeping you just for them at that point.

Give this man some kind of baked good or just soul food… this man hasn’t tasted flavor in his undead or living life.

He came from a small village and was just a pretty poor musician, so any kind of spice would have been considered a luxury.

If he sees someone hit on you… yeah you’re not seeing that person again, and he’s definitely not letting you into the water now. It’s not even about the diseases at that point, he just doesn’t want you to see the guys body.

He does wish to be human again. He wishes to get married, have a family and feel normal again.

With all the crazy stuff in these woods, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did manage to find someone who could at the very least make him be able to at least leave the lake. But I doubt anyone would be able to turn him into a human…. I also feel like even if they did, he couldn’t do it since it’s been like what? 200 years as the lake creature? He’d probably turn to dust if he did become human again.

But let’s say he did find a way to leave the lake, and can in fact go back into land. He’d go to his old village and fix up his old house. He’d lure a priest there, and have him marry you guys…. Maybe even adopt -totally not kidnap- a child maybe.

Your brother likes him enough for you…. Great Näcken is trying to drown him again-

Kid get the pepper, we gotta give your father an aneurysm to save your uncle-

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

A wounded warrior, a brave youth, covered in blood, scratches and wounds. On their knees, trying to get up, trying to ignore the vicious laughter of the most vicious creature in all the world. The culprit of all curses, the menace of Ridgeside Village, not a man, not a beast, not even a spirit. Something else. Something against the very notion of life.

Gabriella mocked the farmer's attempts to get up from their tattered knees.

"Come on, get up, you worm! Get up and I'll crush you as I crush all those who dare stand in my way! A whore's child, a freak, a weakling! Wretch! Get up! I want to see your eyes when I rip your heart from chest!"

Laughter and mockery, blasted Gabriella! They must get up, the whole fate of Ridgeside Village and Stardew Valley depends on this fight.

They must stand up...

They must fight. It hurts so much... Get up...

Need to get up...

Suddenly, the ensuing attack, a decisive blow from evil, was blocked. Who...? The young fool, the weak fool, could not block her attack... Who dares!?

And then, the young warrior saw her.

Her figure was blurry, like morning mist. The rays of the sun passed through her body, and the swift wind did not blow over her curls. Her body shone brighter than the dawn. She is just a shadow of the past.

But her face... beautiful, pale face, is so familiar... She stood in front.

Grandmother... It can't be true.

She gave her grandchild a warm and gentle smile. She whispered soothing words, encouraging words, telling that together they would defeat the evil.

And then she turned to face that very evil. The source of all trouble, vicious, ruthless, cynical... No, it's not a person, or even a spirit. It is something else. The very spawn of blackness and horror, incapable of love and life. Only destructive, only vengeful.

The ghost turned to face her killer. But there was not an ounce of fear on the ghost's face. Only hatred for this entity and determination to take the fight. A whirlwind formed around the young farmer, a stream of powerful magic dancing in one frantic motion. And a figure formed above him. A huge fox, forest spirit, so powerful. The tips of its fur like tongues of flame, its teeth sharp as blades, and its amber eyes aimed only at this spawn of evil. But the young farmer will see in this animal gaze something, familiar, not forgotten...

Their beloved Grandma.

The entire Spirit Realm held its breath, spirits and animals, even plants, dared not make a sound. A loud growl pierced the entire area, an animal growl. A growl as a mother bear protects her cub from danger. A growl that made the blood run cold in the veins. A growl like the fate, a sentence, like the executioner's axe that cleaves the air.

"Gabriellaaaaa!!!"

_________________________________________

PS: This story could be counted as headcanon if Farmer, on a mission to clear Spirit Realm of Gabriella's curse, encountered her in battle. And also that Farmer's grandmother's spirit is closely associated with Ridgeside Village, and she came to the rescue when she sensed her grandchild was in great danger. Given that Grandpa's spirit is connected to the Stardew Valley, it is fair to assume that Grandma will be closely associated with Ridgeside Village. I couldn't decide whether to do this as a little headcanon or another story about my OC Farmer. But it came out something like this. Yep.

Young Gan being gifted that horse, likely expected to tame and bond with such a strong creature as a trial to help bolster his ascension to Kinghood. But the poor kid isn't even tall enough to climb up onto him.

[sansloii]

so like when i was visited by these thoughts like a vision from an angry god, i just started randomly jotting shit down and figure it out later ( i.e: now ). so here is the result of that :) this post is just for roderick so i will only be covering him. evan is a headache for another week.

first and foremost, i think there would be different types of reproductive organs for male dragons depending what form a dragon is in during their most formative years and the type of dragon they are. that said, it will also scale with size and practicality ( so, no, we are not having 7 inch dick if a being is six foot something in one of his forms )

This also plays into whatever "spicy" or jus plain weird additions their penes have in some capacity. like for example, a being that has dragon blood in them but not to the point of them having an actualized draconic form probably doesn't very pronounced ridges/ribs, doesn't retract into a sheath or covering, etc. on the opposite hand, the penes of full-blooded dragons ( Roderick and Evan ) have some of the above additions. most of it is just to ensure mating/breeding is successful in some way

Roderick, for example, spent a good chunk of his formative years as a dragon exclusively and only began staying in a more "humanoid" form after he'd already matured. the times he was 100% human were very rare and very uncomfortable for him so he just. didn't djgsfgfd —

Roderick has a smooth, tapered head ( narrower at the tip and widens out some towards the end ), which gives way to a scale-like on his shaft. this scale texture is only somewhat pronounced, if only because the lines of ridged nubs along it are. there are four in a "box-like" placement — two along the topside and two along the underside — that follow the curve of the shaft nearly all the way to the base. they seem to go "off-course" towards the very end and twist somewhat. Why this is, no one knows.

because all of this would be a pain in the ass to fit underneath clothing, roderick's retracts into a sheath the genital area that is usually obscured by scales. these scales are more pliable than the ones that cover other parts of his body, allowing them shift or bend somewhat when roderick is aroused

additional note: this is not why Roderick wears loose clothing and to preempt everyone that might think that, roderick just hates clothes in general. loose clothing is just something he hates a little less and the fact that they can hide a boner if he has one is just a nice benefit.

Do head cannons for Erik and Gerda

Okay here’s a couple,

Gerda and Erik both saw inefficiencies in the way safety patrol has been run. They’d both been in safety patrol for a bit so they’ve probably worked around each other… though probably not directly with each other to the level they do as deputy and captain. And then they both got promoted… and boom instant chemistry.

Erik’s would’ve ranted about not doing enough (admittedly from the stand point that he wouldn’t be seen to be doing enough and being praised for it) and Gerda would’ve seen someone who actually wanted to fix things. And offered practical solutions at a level of detail Erik wouldn’t be able to work out himself (like actually doing an audit on bell towers to see what needs improving first) and Erik would’ve loved that she helped him get things done.

And they both have high energy levels that seem to feed off each other. These two clearly enjoy working together, at least at first. And then Erik found Hilda’s essay and got a certain idea in his head… and it was all downhill from there.

Also part of the reason I think Gerda struggles so much with how to confront him. She saw him as doing something good to start with (an opinion that may or may not be true) and now she realises she’s just watching him go off the rails and she doesn’t know what to do about it.

Also another one for Erik which I guess ties in a bit with the above. He wasn’t really doing anything wrong up until he became captain. Rat king couldn’t dig up any dirt on him. Which isn’t to say that Erik doesn’t have underlying character traits that made this inevitable - but the power being head of safety patrol coupled with the knowledge he got from Hilda’s essay (and likely resentment over years of shit pay)… and he misused it. In the worst way possible. Like he’s lucky no one died.

Did wukong abandoned his house in flower fruit mountain?

I think I answered a slightly similar question here.

[sesamenom]

I wonder what part of Rivendell's protection is Turgon/Gondolin-inspired, on top of the Bruinen basically acting as a proto-Girdle?

looking at the map, the actual valley is mostly enclosed by the Bruinen, with the Trollshaws on one side and the Misty Mountains on the other.

the Map of Wilderland gives a bit more detail in the region, particularly around Mirkwood/Beorn's house. from here, it looks like the Eyries were somewhere around the Misty Mountains a bit north of Rivendell:

for comparison, here's Gondolin and Doriath:

the FA-era eyries seem to mostly have been around the Crissaegrim/Cristhorn area enclosing Gondolin, while the Girdle followed the approximate shape of the rivers around Neldoreth and Region, and Lorien's Girdle seems to kick in at around the Nimrodel:

so it makes sense for a potential Girdle of Rivendell to lie around the Bruinen, especially given Elrond's apparent control over the river (despite having Vilya and not Nenya - maybe it's an Ulmo/Earendil's Star derived thing?)

I don't think we've explicitly seen anybody trying to get into Rivendell and just getting lost at the Ford, so it's probably more of a manual Girdle: it doesn't actually stop people from finding the river itself, but Elrond gets a mental notification or something and can flood the river to wash intruders away.

Beyond the Ford, it does definitely sound like the travel time to Rivendell varies. This (plus the varying road length/road time) can probably be attributed to the time warping effect of the Three, like a weaker but much larger version of Lorien's time related stuff.

so basically it seems like there's a combination of the Bruinen acting as both a manual Girdle, plus the time distortion between the Ford and Rivendell, as well as possibly hiding Imladris in a similar way to Ulmo hiding Gondolin?

A bit of a theory that I’ve struck on while rereading the start of FOTR. I think there’s something guarding Rivendell besides the Bruinen. I think Elrond has taken a leaf out of Melian’s book.

There are some hints that the distance to Rivendell varies depending on who you are. Frodo starts approaching the Ford in late afternoon; he is in desperate need of healing, and is brought to Rivendell midway into that same night.

In The Hobbit, in contrast, the dwarves and Bilbo cross the Ford of Bruinen in the morning, and the sun is down by the time they reach Rivendell. There’s lot of references to the journey being longer than Bilbo would expect:

They came on unexpected valleys, narrow with steep sides, that opened suddenly at their feet, and then looked down surprised to see trees below them and running water at the bottom. There were gullies that they could almost leap over, but very deep with waterfalls in them. There were dark ravines that one could neither jump over or climb into. There were bogs, some of them green pleasant places to look at, with flowers growing bright and tall; but a pony that walked there with a pack on its back would never have come out again. It was indeed a mich wider land from the ford to the mountains than you would ever have guessed. Bilbo was astonished.

Then there’s Aragorn’s line when Merry asks him how far it is to Rivendell:

“I don’t know if the Road has ever been measured in miles beyond The Forsaken Inn, a day’s journey east of Bree. Some say it is far, and others say otherwise. It is a strange road, and folk are glad to meet their journey’s end, whether the time is long or short. But I know how long it would take me on my own feet, with fair weather and no ill fortune: twelve days from here to the Ford of Bruinen.”

(By the way, it always amazes me, now I’ve noticed it, that the hobbits manage this journey - which Aragorn says would take him 12 days on the Road, with “fair weather and no ill fortune,” in only 14 days with Frodo severely injured, travelling mainly off the Road, and with some bad weather and wrong directions. Some of that’s due to the extremely fast pace Glorfindel sets for the last twoand a half days, but it’s incredibly impressive.)

If anyone should know the distance from Bree to Rivendell, it should be Aragorn, a Ranger of the North fostered in Rivendell, who has probably covered that journey dozens to hundreds of times. And the Road is fairly straight; it shouldn’t be hard for travellers to keep track of the general distance. And also, Aragorn only gives the distance to the Ford, not to Rivendell itself. What if the distance and difficulty of the Road from the Ford to Rivendell varies, based on how well a guest is known. Frodo is the Ring-bearer, in desperate need; he makes it there fast. Thorin & Company are vouched for by Gandalf, but are largely an unknown quantity; it takes them the better part of a day. Someone with hostile intentions might never find Rivendell at all, even after days of wanderings.

Nøkken with a human!SO HC.

Request: circus guest anon

Requests open.

This is the second version of this request. Nøkken is the female version of Näcken so this is basically a part 2.

For a little more context to some of the jokes, you might wanna read Näcken’s. This is set as a male reader, since in my personal opinion there isn’t enough Female x male reader stuff. Also I kinda wanted to tie the two things together. Anyways enjoy.

Part 1

You should have listened. Now you are trapped in water and you have no clue where your sister is.

You had snuck out after dark, not heeding any warning from the tales your parents once told you as a young lad.

Oh… great now there’s some lady trying to kill you.

Unlike Näcken, Nøkken wasn’t as fooled when it came to her lovers lookalike. Although you didn’t share a lot of resemblance to her old lover, you did at least have his eyes. You’re pretty sure that’s what caused her to be thrown off when she had dragged you under the water to drown you.

You managed to get away and find your sister…. Although you did find her with some kind of creature similar to the one you had just encountered. Which made you wonder… if this one spared your sister, maybe she will spare you?

So, like a fool on a mission you returned to the lake after separating from your sister once again while she went to visit Näcken.

This time she didn’t attack straight away… so maybe you have a chance this time.

The more you got to know Nøkken, the more sympathetic you felt… and the more concerned she felt. Seriously, why is this fool visiting a creature that tried to kill him when they first met?

She was the only reason you managed to not get drowned by Näcken when your sister first went to formally introduce you two. He thought you were some random man who was interested in her…. Yeah Näcken got the crap beaten out of him, and was scolded by your sister. At least your sister and Nøkken get along pretty well. They started having “girl days” that you weren’t invited to. Nøkken you traitor.

She definitely takes your sisters side more than yours when the two of you have your sibling spats. Girly ain’t loyal to you in that way.

Try giving this girl spicy food, she’ll either love it… or have a freaking aneurism. No in between.

She’s more of a savory girl than a sweets girl. If you cook, she’s more than happy to be a taste tester. Out of all the things she’s missed from being human, it’s definitely food.

Unlike Näcken who is more of a jealous type when someone hits on you, Nøkken is more of a “is he going to leave me?” Type.

Like Näcken, she wasn’t the prettiest in the town. She was bullied relentlessly, and that definitely still affects her self-esteem. Give this poor girl a hug.

Once again, unlike Näcken, she will actually let you swim in her lake. She actually gets rid of the bodies rather than let them stay stagnant in the water. It also helps that her lake has more flowing water unlike Näcken’s.

Her and Näcken have had violin battles, change my mind.

She shockingly doesn’t really miss being human. She honestly prefers being this creature, makes people too scared to mess with her. Although, she is happy that for once she has more than just her lover to keep her company.

She, like Näcken does in fact still wish to at the very least, be able to leave the lake and go onto land. So with Näcken’s advice she goes to who he went to.

Instead of going to her old village to fix up her old home, you ended up building a nice house with a dock into the lake for her.

Näcken let you guys borrow the priest he lured so you guys can get married too.

No Näcken we don’t need help kidnapping a child for our own family. There is literally an orphanage in the town we are from.

No- NÄCKEN! KID GET THE PEPPER YOUR FATHER IS TRYING TO KILL YOUR UNCLE AGAIN!

Shadowpeach Headcanon:

(Art belongs to @kazehita)

General:

Macaque is FtM and the only person he trusted with this secret was Wukong (and the little monkeys)

Macaque is Demi (romantic and sexual), he wants a genuine relationship with someone but struggles to truly connect with anyone until he met Wukong

Wukong is aroace and had no interest in relationships prior to meeting Macaque

They met when Macaque washed up on FFM sometime after Wukong returned from his training with Sabodi

Macaque is very insecure about his ears, but Wukong adores them and makes sure to always praise them

Despite being the flirt of the two Wukong is easily flustered

Macaque loves to put on performances for Wukong because it’s the only time he feels like he can truly impress his king

Despite what others would assume Macaque was the one to courtnap Wukong

Due to his insecurities Macaque is a very jealous lover, despite this Wukong is the one who will get aggressive if anyone flirts with Macaque

The reason Wukong doesn’t typically take Macaque with him on his adventures is because Macaque has expressed a dislike for the world beyond FFM

The two are very cuddly and affectionate with each other, with unique expressions of affection being Macaque kissing Wukong’s eyelids and Wukong nipping Macaque’s ears

Macaque’s nicknames for Wukong are: My King, My Hero, My Sun, Peaches, Sunlight, Sunflower, Sunshine, Sunstone, Sunny

Wukong’s nicknames for Macaque are: My Queen, My Warrior, My Moon, Plum, Moonlight, Moonblossom, Moonbeam, Moonstone, Mooncake

Havoc in heaven/JTTW:

Even amongst the brotherhood, not many people knew that Wukong and Macaque were mates

Macaque never spoke out against the havoc (or the camel ridge trio) because he had too much faith in Wukong’s abilities

The fight under the mountain (while not their first fight) was the first time Wukong had actually insulted Macaque

Macaque was never angry at Wukong for killing him, he was angry that he was abandoned and practically forgotten by Wukong

Wukong meanwhile pushed Macaque away because he was still haunted by his death and didn’t want to hurt him further (even if he won’t admit it)

Post-LMK:

Despite having once been a very affectionate couple, they now can barely touch each other without feeling guilt for their past actions and can only hold each other’s pinkies

They struggle to talk to each other because they’re so used to fighting and don’t want to fall into that same pattern

They have weekly therapy sessions with Sandy’s therapist to help them with their communication and affection issues

Wukong has the bad habit of shouldering the blame for Macaque’s past mistakes, and Macaque has to always remind him that he’s responsible for his own mistakes

They often go on dates to try to redefine their relationship and build something new together

Macaque has now become the bigger flirt of the two, though he mostly does it whenever Wukong is in a self loathing mood

Despite struggling to be affectionate, whenever either has a nightmare/panic attack, they fall back into old comfort habits very easily

It takes a while, but eventually they manage to become a strong, stable couple once again (now with the experience and maturity to survive any hardship)
