#ANS Ask Game

[ane-doodles]

For the nari ask , any three of your liking that haven't been asked yet -cultoftheswag

Narinder - ask game

You opened the gates!! What I'd like to share is a combination of the following questions:

13. Does your Narinder have any unique features?

14. Is he based on any particular breed of cat such as a puma or a British shorthair?

50. Free headcanon space!

My Narinder is a combination of different cat species!

When Narinder was crowned as a child, his own body also died to give way to divinity. Since he wasn't a specific cat species, he only had a resemblance to the red crown, period.

His original body was that of a melanistic serval, but after his death, it ended up being occupied by another soul in the cycle of life. Therefore, when he was resurrected by the lamb, the crown created a new body for him made from parts of other cats.

Narinder's current mortal body is composed of the following:

- His body base remains that of a serval (small head, long legs, large ears, elongated body).

- His tail is abnormally elongated, and his hind legs are much more robust than his arms. This is a snow leopard part.

- His ears are actually a combination of those of a serval and a Devon Rex.

- Behind his head is a crest of particularly long fur that reaches halfway down his back. This begins to grow after years in the cult and when his body has healed significantly. This characteristic comes from the royal geopard.

- Narinder also has a winter coat! The markings on his fur (snow leopard with a touch of fantasy) are most visible then.

Now, all these combinations mean his body is covered in fur of varying thickness and softness, a hassle to maintain. Because of this, he usually keeps it short. He personally doesn't like long fur in the winter, but it's a necessity.

All this mess has also caused him self-perception issues. He doesn't like the way he looks, not knowing for sure what he is… But the lamb is so happy with the idea of ​​an all-in-one that there's no point in thinking about it.

Plus, Avana doesn't hesitate to shower him with compliments on a daily basis...

Question, and ya ain't gotta answer

If Crowley somehow ever found a way to get Tia home, would she take the opportunity or would she stay in Twst?

Short answer: Yes, she would go home.

LONG ANSWER: Also yes, she would go home because she still has a life, family and friends to return to, and all of the work she has put into her dreams that can’t be for nothing. It’d be hard obviously cuz it’s not like what happened in twst was meaningless. She would has learned many lessons that gave her a new perspective on life that she can hopefully take back with her (assuming she remembers any of it, high key with how twst treats it’s own isekai plots with those book things— I feel like she wouldn’t remember entirely beyond just… vibes. Almost like a dream. But, I digress. That’s getting into meta analysis territory.)

👍

But!!! WHAT IF—— [BECOMES DELUSIONAL] in a fucked up twist I HOPE SHE MEETS PARALLEL VERSIONS OF THE TWST CAST IN HER WORLD!!! AND SHE CAN RE-MAKE CONNECTIONS ALL OVER AGAIN ONCE UPON A DREAM ANd—-

[thisonesatellite]

Okay I REALLY want to know what your answer to #11 is on that fic question post but honestly if you want to answer any of these I would also be very interested in your answers:

4, 9, 11, 15, 16, 18, 19, 22, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 & 34

😅 that's so many take I know but they're really good questions and I love your writing so!!

OMG -- darling, you are insane and i am SO HERE FOR IT. i LOVE that you want to know so many things. This will be long. 😂

(Also, i'm sorry i answered everyone else first -- so that you do have a bunch of links to follow. But you still have enough left in this post, i hope.)

#4 -- What are some words or phrases you feel like you overuse?

i am ridiculously partial to the combination phrase, "Wait. What?" (My characters have so many clueless moments. 😂)

#9 -- How did you get into writing fanfiction?

Oh wow. This answer is so complicated. The short version is that i brushed past fanfic and fandom years ago without realizing either was A Thing, and then -- with the advent of getting into Captain Swan -- i stumbled across AO3. By compete accident. And Lost. My. Shit. OMG. A WHOLE PLACE FOR STORIES. TO READ. FOR EVERY CHARACTER AND PAIRING i EVER LOVED. After i finished melting down i read all the fics i could get my hands on and applied for a user login with the vague notion i might try my hand someday. And then -- months later -- i had an idea that would not let go and that ended up becoming my first fic. (Yes. That is the short answer. 😂)

#11 -- What makes a fic 'successful' in your opinion?

i already answered that one here.

#15 -- Does anyone you know in real life know you write fanfiction?

One person. Who saw me check out AO3 on my phone and then told me they knew what it was and then we figured out that they are an occasional stucky reader. 😂

#16 -- What do you struggle with most when writing?

i also answered this one here.

#18 -- How many WIPs do you have and how many do you expect to finish?

i am an incredibly linear writer. i can only ever write one fic at a time. i admire people who manage to spread their energy across more than one outing at a time, but i cannot. So i currently have one wip. 😂 However - in my defense i can also say that i have never not finished a fic. Ever. All of mine get completed.

#19 -- How do you get over writer's block?

i am very fortunate to not have encountered real writer's block yet. i have gotten stuck on plot points and certain chapters tho, and then i force myself to sprint, usually in 20-30 min intervals, sometimes several times in a row. So far it has always helped. i also have the bestest of betas (give it up for @wistfulcynic and @booksandabeer) who hold my hand when i have a plot-meltdown and then say the exact right thing to get me back on track. i could not do this without them. Could. NOT.

#22 -- Did you do anything special to celebrate finishing a fic?

Man, i should. But i never do.

#26 -- Do you ever "prep" your fics with outlines or warmups before you start writing, or do you just dive right in?

i answered this one here.

#27 -- Are any of your stories inspired by personal experience?

i answered this one here.

#28 -- What's the angstiest idea you've ever come up with?

i answered this one here.

#29 -- How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?

i usually do 3x polishing passes after my beta has gone over the initial chapter. The first pass is purely to cut all unnecessary bits (i ask my betas to break out the scalpels and tear shit up and i LOVE THEM FOR IT). The second is to tighten everything up -- i like to say whatever needs to be said in the fewest possible words. And the third is just to see if the language flows nicely and there's not too many repetitions, etc.

#30 -- Have you noticed your style change over time?

No, not really. i think i've gotten more proficient, possibly more polished, but the core of my style, my writing voice and the heartbeat of my rhythm, have never changed. i don't think they could. 😂

#31 -- What fic meant the most to you to write?

OK - wow. i honestly cannot pick one fave here. They've all meant different things to me, but each has its own meaning that was 'the most' for me at the time i wrote it.

#34 -- What is your favorite fic to get comments/messages on?

All of them. i'm not kidding. Every single one. 😂

Thank you so so so much, darling! 💖💖💖

[moonshynecybin]

hi callie. i have come to bother you about pedrenzo again specificallyyyyy the fco au… either what they are up to in the og universe — what source of shenanigans are they starting, is Jorge single-handedly feeding the press with choice inadvisable quotes — OR. consider it an au of an au where they are forced to come out…

xoxo thank u

i DO think. dani and jorge are aware of what is going on and i think it’s met with. remember this is in the wake of vale turning the gun on marc and jorge and the nation of spain. minimal but still present sympathy. like the interesting thing about the aliens in this time period where they’re all beating the snot out of each other every weekend is that no one else is on their level or really understands them OR spends as much time with them as EACH OTHER. especially bc they’re paired off as teammates and in the same presscons and for podiums !! like they have to socialize !! it’s a necessity !! but they’re ALSO all in a four way collarbone dependent high stakes stand-off for the same fucking goal. so everyone (not dani really. he’s like that is fucked up but also trulyyyyy none of my business. a lil miffed but not like. marc level hurt or jorge level GOD i hate everyone in this bar. you know.) is RIGHTLY pissed off at vale but also. not really aligning with each other. they are not unionizing this is motogp we don’t do that here. or at least with marc lol. like they recognize it’s all wackadoodle clownshow but are also very much not close enough to marc at this time to really be the shoulder he leans on. and he doesn’t want to lean on them !!

so all this to sayyyyyy that they would be the only two people besides marc and vale with the full emotional context of the FCO plot universe. and would have no one to talk about it to but each other ❤️ and this is a gut feeling but i feel that they would LOVEEEEEEEEE to shit talk the rosquez-crazy, despite they themselves ignoring their five alarm level repression issues that are just barely keeping them from making out in the hallway outside the presscon room multiple times a weekend. they’re like wow thank god we aren’t that bad [was much worse for many years]

and then a fco au for them independently is. jorge addicted to instagram lorenzo and dani if i ignore it hard enough it will go away pedrosa. maybe the yaoi couple on the motogp grid LEAST equipped to deal with the fallout of a situation like that, ESPECIALLY in comparison to smiling assassins incorporated, who are happily (miserably.) lying to the press across the garage. like do pedrenzo even rope hondayamaha pr into it ? i don’t think so !

[fluffypotatey]

i feel like i wouldn't be surprised to see a deathswap au from you. "x dies instead of y" or "x never got out/didn't survive/wasn't revived/etc". to me those exist on two sides of either overworked grief porn or immaculate character analysis and you'd definitely knock it out of the park in the latter

DUDE THE FACT THAT I DO HAVE A CONCEPT FOR THAT akskdkdk

it’s an au of “What if Odysseus’s crew returned to Ithaca without him because he chose himself for Zeus’s punishment?” with a heavy dose of Eurylochus and his guilt over Odysseus that examines their relationship and the royal family like—

yes meefy roger meefy🙂‍↕️ (hope I remembered right, you asked for Butcher, Zarr and Rita)

What are your character's opinion on scars?

Rita: likes the scars of others, hates her own, especially the neck one. She feels like scars make people who they are and are fundamentally a part of them, every scar tells its own story and makes you 'you'. Of course, this only applies to every single person but herself. She's somewhat ashamed of hers.

Zarr: likes them, they are like war trophies. He also likes listening to people's stories about them.

Butcher:

What is something your character is proud to own?

Rita: so so proud of her shortsword with pretty decorated hilt and engravings that Zarr gifted her.

Zarr: his wedding ring. It stands always on and he will show it off to everyone (in a subtle way ofc)

Butcher: his whole fleet, and the accurate ship-in-bottles miniatures of his real ships. Oh also the mummified hand of his former Captain, his little trophy <3

Is there an item your character is embarrassed they own or want?

Rita: might be a little bit embarrassed of all the bottles of alcohol she has stored for later - she just keeps buying new ones even though the old ones aren't even opened yet

Zarr: owns love poems and romantic song books that he got in an attempted to woo Rita.

Butcher: he doesn't know embarrassment.

Is there a food or drink your character is unwilling to try?

Rita: she never fucks with raw peppers

Zarr: not picky at all, is willing to try anything.

Butcher: had eaten and will eat everything (cannibal—)

What food or drink does your character consider a treat?

Rita: some really fancy desserts that are either super expensive or overly complicated

Zarr: alcohol on an empty stomach

Butcher: substances

Is there a natural phenomenon that scares your character?

Rita & Zarr: they live in a temperate zone, far enough from the coast so no crazy weather ever worries them

Butcher: doesn't really "scare" him, but as a sailor, no wind/no windy weather makes him worry. Both at sea and on land, he worries about possibly getting becalmed.

Is there a person your character would turn to for backup in a fight?

The Trio would always back each other up UNLESS it's Rita vs Butcher then it's just Zarr standing off the side being like "guys...come on guys, guys please...."

Is there a secret thing your character longs to hear?

Rita: You did what you had to. You are not a monster. I understand you.

Zarr: I recognize you. It's still you.

Butcher: I choose you. I will always choose you.

4+8 for the 50 cat man questions :D

Narinder - Ask game

4. Does the Red Crown give him any unique powers such as the power of rot (a la TROD AU)?

Since I consider mind reading to be common among the crowns and sin harvesting to be unique to the lamb... okay, listen to this:

The "touch of death" was considered a blessing, but it could also be used as a sentence between gods and followers. It doesn't exactly function like rotting... in fact, I think it's slightly similar to a death note.

As a sentence: Narinder could impose a specific date and manner for a person to die, ranging from an illness to more cruel deaths that would be fulfilled by fate itself. This could be used as a punishment to torment enemies or as a promise of a peaceful death for his own followers.

As a blessing: Unlike the lamb, Narinder couldn't monitor the marital or romantic status of his followers; instead, he perceived their connections and genetic inheritance (not so much in a scientific sense, but more in a mystical sense). Narinder used this knowledge to provide a kind of "glimpse into the future" of what forming a family could bring, and he could also detect the possibility of normal or lethal mutations. This last type of mutation could be prevented with the touch of death, erasing the danger to the future baby from the parent(s)'s own DNA [it is thanks to this knowledge that the lamb is able to change the appearance of their followers :D]. This led to waves of numerous and powerful births in the cult of the red crown.

Narinder's powers, rather than being something striking and spectacular in the moment, required time to manifest. Whether it was a death sentence or a blessing, you had to be patient to see the results. The title "The One Who Waits" is not earned lightly ;)

8. What weapon did he use prior to exile?

Before joining the Old Faith group, he had never needed to use weapons (I mean, who would mess with death itself?), but after meeting Shamura, they insisted he learn how to use them.

He used to carry a staff that served as a shepherding symbol, a spear (as his primary weapon), and a scythe for ceremonial use.

Narinder always had rather sharp claws that left large, permanent scars, so he used them as his main tool to assert himself when needed.

[splatcat64]

i had a really long convo with my friends about this but it really seriously feels like ppl get rhys and fionas characterization switched up HARD. this is bc of the u choose the path thing but also a heavy hand in the misogyny and racism (and general way ppl tend to approach pandorans due to being effected by how jack talked about them . LOL) fiona is such a sweetheart whos working her hardest to protect the people she loves + imo shes the one who helped vaughn grow into someone who adores pandora as well. it makes me blow up. i have a few songs that have been making me go nuts about her . hai i got excited sorry

NOOO DON’T APOLOGIZE FOR GETTING EXCITED I totally get it my god,,, this blog is becoming so tales centric I’m sorry not sorry here we go. If you haven’t seen tales and want to be mindful of light spoilers. ⚠️

This has been talked about on my side a bit but I tooootally agree, Both of their characterization gets switched up BAD and it’s absolutely insane, both Fiona and Rhys are good people, but flawed. Flawed, but good people, and it gets constantly jumbled around in the fandom. I feel like a lot of people have a really hard time grasping that “choose ur own adventure” protags still have a core personality set, especially telltale. I always use Lee TWGD as an example, because sure you can portray him as either very very confrontational, or more soft spoken and sweet, but in the end of th edgy he still killed someone. In the end of the day he still ALWAYS cares about Clem. It’s not any different for those two idiots, they still have their respective arcs and the such.

I feel like Fiona gets a lot of shit specifically BECAUSE she’s snarky and she. speaks her mind. And god forbid a POC/Black coded woman do ANYTHING. Jack really messed up ppls views on Pandorans but the look into Sasha and Fi’s life is literally just more, HEY, they’re people!! Maybe don’t listen to the GENOCIDAAAAL [big arrows pointing to the word] MANIAC. It’s thrown right at your face. People take wtv the fuck Jack says way to seriously when he lies. So much. All the time. And I don’t get why no one takes it with a pile of salt constantly. When really she does just have a heart of gold, most of her being mean is literally just playful banter like hello. Sasha’s meaner than her by a mile but Fi still gets slaaandered for it. And even tho Sasha does have her really mean moments I will defend her to the grave with strangers bcus “hating her” without a valid reason gets veeerry racy really quick and as a black person it really does rub me the wrong way sometimes. So much mischaracterization everywhere. It’s a weird mix of a patriarchal, misogynistic, racist deal with EVERY character in The Group and I’m just… how do you manage to mischaracterize everybody from a game that’s all story.

And the point I made in a post somewhere about how Rhys is written differently than a LOT of men in borderlands and ppl have ran with it and decided hey this guy actually sucks. Or hey haha this guy can’t do anything. He’s completely out of his element on Pandora, of course he’s stumbling somewhat but bro is brave as hell for that shit. He’s a completely capable dude, yes he cares about Fiona and Sasha and Vaughn. Yes they care about him. I feel like people also get it twisted because of Fiona and Rhys in the intros, but people gotta remember that they’re acting like that because the game was episodic and we weren’t rlly allowed to know that they’re super buddy buddy. That’s one gripe I have w the game is that they made Fiona seem like she HATED his ass in some of the future settings in the beginning of episodes and people took it way too literally. Please I beg they’re besties,,, you’ve never boxed with a bestie before??? Either way it’s obvious that it’s blown out of proportion especially after Rhys’ whole arc concludes. You’re supposed to be like oooh he’s like that cause we couldn’t know. You look at Fi and you’re supposed to like daaamn she really cares about him/them they were all just split apart after extremely traumatic events. [I’m gonna stop here with this point cause it’s starting to be a run on but people do not talk enough about how traumatic both Helios’ crash, the wreck, and Gortys’ first fight was for all of them.]

I’ve talked extensively with a friend about this too but Tales had a looot of budget issues during its making cause of Telltale nuking itself, and the game was meant to have more time. ALL of them were!!! I always think about maybe if they all got more time they’d be treated this way less. But yknow,, whatever I guess.

AND THE VAUGHN THING UR SO CORRECT GOD. I think she really help him crawl out of his shell for a lack of a better term, both the sisters tbh I feel like they’re a very rare and cute friendship pairing and I need to see more of Sasha daring him to do shit like in the Chimera dome. They all care sooo deeply for each other and people even manage to miss that like god. One of Rhys’ core traits if you don’t make him abysmally evil is loyalty. LOYALTY. Fiona hasn’t had many, hell if any friends since tales started, She is SUCH a caring person of course she’s gonna ride or die for her friends. Like that one scene on Helios where Rhys can ask her not to leave, And she’s like “If I wanted to leave, I would’ve done it a looong time ago.” There’s so many points in the game I could,d bring up that show how great all of them are, Fiona, after knowing him for not too long at all, tries to convince Vaughn to be brave, and that he can survive Bossanova’s race. Yes, she had to do that so they wouldn’t die, but she went out of her way to say it in a way that was reassuring enough. That’s sweet. If she didn’t care about them she wouldn’t have played cards on the roof with Rhys, or play bunkers and badasses with the boys, or I don’t know, let them LIVE IN WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY HER HOUSE FOR A YEAR. /ref ep.3 of tales. I’m being dramatic, of course there are factors that didn’t let her kick them out. But, my point stands.

That wasn’t meaaan that was playful reassurance, she’s telling him she’s THERE FOR HIM. They all care sooosososo much. If none of the, cared about each other, any “betrayal” wouldn’t mean that much. People get hurt like that because of their bonds and yes, YES I’m being opinionated but they’re like the found family ever, god. Fiona is fucking amazing and she wouldn’t put up with anyone if she didn’t either have to, or care, and after a certain point it’s very obvious that it’s not the first one.

TLDR; Tales is great, stan Fiona, stan Rhys, Stan Sasha and Vaughn,,, my glorious queens and kings. Forgive any typos or grammar I wrote this on a passionate whim,

[madame-mongoose]

tell me why when i told my sister i was playing fallout new vegas just to see a robot character she asked me "oh the one you were drawing porn of?" WHO FUCKING TOLD HER

[snkyou]

For this fic writer ask game:

#4, #8, #12, #17, #19

Sorry for sending so many! I’m a curious person, lol.

Hey <3 It's okay! I wouldn't reblog those games if I didn't want people sending many of these. ALSO SORRY THIS GOT OUT OF HAND---

4.a story idea you haven’t written yet

i think I have around of 3 semi-started multi-chaptered fics, and exactly 2 ideas I haven't written anything for yet: one because it's fairly recently it popped up in my head and the other one... I know it's gonna be a lot harder to write: I have only read 1 fic where Levi is Kuchel's caretaker at the end of whatever illness takes her. I want to give it a try and focus on that 'reverse' parent-child dynamic (with a bit of eruri in the background, of course lmao); so far, all I have in mind are random important scenes here and there, Kuchel's illness being something similar to Alzheimer's, maybe? It does have to be terminal enough for Levi to stretch himself thin to keep them both afloat. I still don't know if I want this to be from Levi's pov or Erwin's. That would shift the tone of the story a lot. What's been stopping me, partially, is the amount of research I have to do for this type of story, I've had first-hand experience of witnessing Alzheimer's develop and at a scarily rapid pace, but I also sort of blocked those memories. I could never write something this heavy on a whim.

8. if you had to write a sequel to a fic, you’d write one for…

<- going back to that Caretaker Levi, I can totally see it being a two-part fic where the first is about Levi and Kuchel and the second about Eruri getting/being together after her passing.

A fic that I've posted and want to write a sequel for is Coffee & Tea, this fic focused on Gabi and Levi, so I want to spotlight Falco in the next one!! <3 if Gabi and Levi were having their morning gossip (lmao), I imagine Falco and Levi can have a little treat in the evening.. (also set in this same universe, I do have plans of Levi being asked to be the godfather to one of the 104th's kiddos. I just love the idea of Levi being so present in their minds that he ends up being some sort of grandpa figure to their kids lol.)

12.a trope you’re really into right now

Let me take a look at my ao3 tracker---

My tracker tells me I'm a lot into first-times right now lmao. Honestly, other than that, I don't see any patterns repeating throughout many stories. Hmmm I guess the other trope I've been reading is a lot of Parent Eruri, be it single dads/married. Also... threesomes... I was in a miche rut at the beginning of the month and read like 6 fics of eruri/miche 🙂‍↕️. No tropes in specific tho.

17. talk about your writing and editing process

Hmm, I usually only write when I have an idea of what I want to cover in the fic/chapter. I'm not good at outlining my stories, I just go with the flow and hope the mood I inteded for the fic comes across. I have scenes/dialogues and I kind of build toward them. Because I don't write just because, most of the time I always end up with something that's 80-90% ready and not much editing needed. My editing consists of checking formatting and maybe word order here and there since I do tend to yap endlessly. I don't have a beta. The thought of sharing my wips gives me cold feet haha. I have a friend watching over my current wip and it's been nerve-wrecking but also really nice! (I accepted his checking it because it would be my first time writing a trans character and I am not confident enough of my knowledge of trans experiences to write about it).

19. the most interesting topic you’ve researched for a fic

Admittedly, doing research is my least favourite part of writing, only because I get side-tracked and tend to research stuff I want to know and not necessarily need. The most interesting and recent one is pregnancy! I am ignorant of lots of medical and biological processes (like... i know they exist and happen, but I've never questioned the biology of it, yk). More specifically I read a bunch of research articles on trans male pregnancy (since that's what my current wip deals with). And it's been very interesting to read those experiences! In my writing, I focus on feelings and experiences rather than the hmm physical aspect of things. I'm not trans and I can't say I have experienced anything similar to gender dysphoria and I have never been pregnant so it's two topics I'm fairly oblivious to haha and I want to get them right. If this was an omegaverse fic, I wouldn't worry with all this I think. But for this fic, I want the reader to feel pregnant hahaha 😂 that's my goal. And also just putting a mpreg fic out there that focuses on the journey of carrying instead of jumping into delivery.

[dreaming-hibi]

Again, if I had a dollar/euro for EVERY time I thought, “Tomorrow I’m gonna write no matter what!” only to get to the supposed tomorrow and be given an endless of things to do

[good-beans]

Hi! "ML Up until now it's been like a dream" sounds interesting!

Aw thanks! I'm impressed you could scope out my one Mikoto wip...

It's a little normal au 0309 thing from Fuuta's pov. The general premise is that Mikoto crashes his bike on his way to work, gets a concussion, has (non-John-related) memory issues, and Fuuta is compelled to look after him. I wanted a fun comparison of videogame restarts/second chances -- Fuuta says something rash and the conversation gets weird, until a few minutes later when Mikoto has a lapse in short term memory, and Fuuta gets to try the exact same situation again. By the end of the day, Fuuta is using the situation to very carefully test out compliments/confessions since there's no pressure it'll be remembered and he'll have to deal with the consequences. It's basically my timeloop fic without a timeloop 😂

The title was the first thing that popped into my head (as all my first working titles are) and comes from a story from my dad's childhood when he got a concussion and his short term memory kept resetting. He kept telling his family "You know, up until now it's been like a dream!" until his brother quoted it back to him and he went "how did you know I was gonna say that??" It started as a silly joke title, but Mikoto has the whole line about dreaming, so I'm keeping an eye out if there's a way I can actually work it into the fic !!

[blackberry-bloody]

Among Us AU and/or Pirate AU - @emmettverse

SO- I wanna do both. So this is going under a cut.

Among Us AU:

Research ship with a bunch of my ocs. (I believe iirc; Jane, Phoenix, Ian, Ryan, Berkley, Octavian, Dayzel, Mibium, Rupert, and Nox). With a bunch of cliques and distrust.

Imposter/Alien ends up on board somehow and takes the form/place of someone but keeps them alive but hidden.

Others start to notice things off about the replaced person. But it's hard bc not everyone is as close to them.

People start getting super paranoid. And they end up locking one of them in the brig until things start getting better. Spoiler alert... It doesn't

Imposter then realizes too much sus on the form they're currently taking. so they take another person and take their form. keeping the og person as well, but now mostly drugged up and unconscious.

Basically it's a lot of emotional whump and mindfuckery between couples and friends

---

Pirate AU:

MORE DAYZEL AND MIBIUM

Rival pirates <3

All human

Dayzel is the husband of a Pirate Captain, Nox, and best friend to his first mate Rupert

Mibium is a Pirate Captain!

They end up running into each other and Dayzel and Mibium end up flirting in between sword battles

They actually start to get feeling for each other- Uh-oh!

Dayzel is contemplating leaving Nox and tells Rupert. Doesn't say why.

Rupert's like "Sure!" and stages a coup and leaves Nox for dead

Before taking Dayzel for himself

Dayzel is distraught and is freaking the fuck out

Mibium of course catches up and finds Nox and finds out what happened

Mibium goes to rescue Dayzel and confronts Rupert leading to a huge battle

Eventually Dayzel takes advantage of the chaos and escapes

Joins the fight alongside Mibium and they kick ass together

Dayzel runs Rupert through and kills him
