To Lovino and Tolys:

Any Saints you guys have a particular devotion to?

Tolys: I'm not terribly religious, but there is a certain comfort in having someone looking out for you.

**Contextual Note, TW for brief mention of sexual assault and torture:

Just a brief overview of the saints Lovino and Tolys mentioned. St. Agatha of Sicily was a Christian noblewoman who was killed during the Decian persecutions. She made a religious vow of chastity that a Roman prefect attempted to break. As punishment for rejecting him she was imprisoned and forced to "work" in a brothel. When this did not break her, she was tortured, most notably by having her breasts ripped off with hot tongs. This is why she is often depicted in art with tongs or presenting her breasts. A miraculous earthquake prevented her execution and supposedly St. Peter appeared to her and healed her wounds, but she eventually died in prison of unknown causes. Among other things, she is the patron saint of victims of torture, rape victims, breast cancer patients, fires, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions (particularly from Mt. Etna). As Lovino mentioned, she is the patron of Sicily, as well as the Sicilian city of Catania.

St. Christopher was also killed during the Decian persecutions. According to legend, he traveled to find a king who claimed great power, only to find he feared the devil. When he found a marauder who claimed to be the devil, he found that this criminal feared Christ. Learning this, he chose to become Christian and serve people by helping them cross a dangerous river. In doing this, he helped a small child across the river who was much heavier than he anticipated, and almost died in the process. After crossing, the child revealed himself to be an apparition of Christ, pleased with his work. Christopher was eventually beheaded after travelling to Lycia to help his fellow Christians. Among other things, he is the patron saint of travelers, transportation, bachelors, athletics, and storms. As Tolys mentioned, he is the patron of Vilnius, Lithuania's capital (Riga as well!)

Since you have interesting side characters are there any more you’re excited to share with us? 👀

Thank you! I’m so honored that so many people seem to be interesting in my side characters… I adore them all, but I think the ones I’m super excited to introduce, even if it’s just for one scene, are the various shopkeepers within Avalon.

Casimir, or simply Cas to the people he’s close to, is one such character — he owns the local tavern/inn within Avalon; called the Royal Oak. He’s an elven man that is quite tall, with a muscular build, a tattoo sleeve on his right arm (with ancient elven symbols), three claw mark scars across his chest, silver hair that’s styled away from his forehead, and sharp indigo eyes behind his glasses that always seem to slip down his nose during his rounds as the barkeep.

I think he’ll be an interesting character to interact with! Even if it only once that you get to do so (as far as I know that can always change as I get deeper into the story).

How were your trips to Chicago and Michigan!

it’s been fun!! intense!! dealing with flight delays so i might be tacking on an extra night in nyc with my sister!! we’ll see lol!!

[empiredesimparte]

What kinds of wild rumors/conspiracy theories exist about your royal family? Do they have any basis in truth?

Hi! catching up on old asks!

On the current royal family, I don't think there is any (yet). On the inner circle, Charlotte's father is known to be a womanizer, that's pretty much a given.

Madame Mère, Marie-Joséphine, is also said to have had a sulphurous past, and is rumoured to be a lesbian. This would explain why she was pregnant only once in her life - it was suspected that she and her husband didn't love each other. But she never commented publicly on the subject.

I think Napoléon IV was the source of many rumors of political machinations, both true and false!

Also, I think everyone in Francesim wonders whether Hortense is as wise and innocent as she seems. Given all the commotion she's caused with Oliver over the last few months

Thanks for asking!

Favorite ship from my ocs? i am curious (also i love hearing others thoughts about my writing in general)

rn?? alistair and casimir.

the prince/loyal knight dynamic??? yesyesyes absolutely

i want them to run away to some different kingdom and open a bakery together and grow flowers and have the syrupy golden fluffy life they deserve

though to be fair the tragedy adds a certain depressing layer that i really also like. alistair in the aftermath of casimir’s death is really interesting to explore

just saying though sagevia is a very very close second (insert winky face here)

[boiling-potato]

wait, what happens when a milkshake mansion member gets a penalty?? Is it possible for a member to be killed or kicked out if they break too many rules??

Oh being kicked out is out of the question, once you get in, ain't no getting out. (Unless Trickster lets you of course but being a member means not leaving so ye) The penalty is always given by the second in command in the house, a.k.a Casimir, and the penalty will usually just depend on either, what you did, how well his treatment/opinion towards you, and his mood at that time. The penalty can range from just talking/scolding you and giving you chores about what you did,, to.... Well, mental and physical torture if you really made him mad.

Let's give an example, Hayden! Cas really hates this kid for some reason and whenever Hayden makes a mistake, he'll degrade and threaten him, all while hurting him right now.

⚠️TW! abuse, little bit of blood, threats and unfair treatment

"Refuse to listen to me again and I'll bring you back to the dirt and chains where you came from but this time, I'll make sure to lay you flat on the ground so the rats can eat you slowly, do you understand?"

----

This man will literally remind the members of their trauma, get personal with his insults and all while he's strangling them. He's not afraid to hurt them either, and what I mean by that is to stab, torture or to make them loose a limb. After that, he'll lock them in their room for a few weeks alone to make them think about what they've done.

Fun fact, there's a secret family member that disappeared a long time ago, family members aren't allowed to kill another family member and visitors are deemed way too weak to kill any of them. But the members are certain Casimir has something to do with their strange disappearance sooo best not to make him mad cause who knows? He might also break a few rules or so, anything to keep the family members cooperating :]]

#3 for Casimmir (because I've seen him and was like HELLO) #1 for Briar Mary! :D

you and elaine have something in common then heeheehee

#3 - How did you choose their name? 

Usually I like to mull around character's names and their meaning and assign something I think is fitting to them but with Casimir initially it was a name I just really liked the sound and flow of and happily found it was used in France (since that's his country of origin). It means 'to destroy peace/the world' so also a happy accident there. Elegant but also vaguely menacing.

#1 - What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)? 

Mary evolved from the nosferatu PC in Bloodlines since that was my favorite clan to play, and as a result a lot of elements already had the framework set up. I guess the first thing I can really remember fleshing out in my head is her personality and her values, thinking of how an Anarch aligned high humanity Nosferatu would perceive her world and the game's events, how she'd react to them, her reasoning for making the choices she does. Her appearance and backstory flowed out of that in a kind of reverse engineering thing of me trying to suss out what would cause her to be that kind of person. Her name was last and comes from the little shoulder spikes I decided on for her appearance!

now i have the itch to play through bloodlines again

Thank you for the asks!! :D <3

sorry for never shutting up about Attack on Titan I promise I’m normalr

this has been in my drafts for like three days I think I forgot it existed until I started cleaning out my drafts

[poisonouswritings]

OZZY HELLO I HAVE GOTTEN MY FRIEND INTO FICTIF AND HER MONSTERFUCKER TENDENCIES HAVE LED HER TO CASIMIR

MAY I HAVE SOME CASIMIR HEADCANONS AND STUFF FOR FRIEND PLEASE THANK YOU VERY MUCH I PROVIDE DOG PHOTOS FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE FICTIF FANS

Dog tax dog tax dog tax! Yay!!

While I do constantly mourn Last Legacy I wanna take a second to be super sad about Monster Manor. While I'm not much of a fan of the 'shove all the LIs into one route' type of story that all the stories did towards the end, I still really liked it.

Anyways here's some Casimir hcs!!

I mentioned here that Casimir is afraid of heights. I don't remember it being said in the story at all (but it's also been a little while since I've read it) but I Do Not Care!!

He's definitely a morning person. Because of his rocky relationship with The House, it doesn't always provide him with a ton of windows and natural light, so he tries to get in as much as he can. Once you start smoothing things out between them, House does provide more giant windows for Casimir to get light and air through.

Cas,, sleeping,,, in sun beam?? Both in monster form and human form. He also has a pillow or blanket or something to lay down, though.

He'll teach you and Rainer French! Bonus points if you actually already know French, and you can tell him how much the language has evolved. It's pretty melancholic for him.

Rainer (inadvertently) lightens the mood by asking Cas to make toast so they can have French Toast.

That being said, Cas cooks for you all the time even before you start dating!! He's been alone for so long (Mimi nonwithstanding) that he's nearly forgotten how much fun it can be to cook for someone else.

He also tries to learn what dragons eat to make special stuff for Rainer, with mixed results.

After you start dating then he's constantly also baking you desserts and stuff. Loves making things heart-shaped. Always suave about it but when you earnestly thank him he gets a little flustered.

Listen... Listen... Cas has been alone for so long that sometimes he forgets there are other people in the house now... He'll be doing something in the kitchen and you'll come in and ask him something and he jumps a foot in the air. Happens less frequently as time goes on but still.

See,, he's,,, he's still got a 16th century (or whenever he's from) tolerance meter for PDA so like you hold his hand or kiss his cheek or ruffle his hair or something and he fucking dies. Face turns as red as a tomato. He tries to get used to it - especially when you explain how standards have changed and this sort of thing is completely normal - but it's a slow process.

His hair isn't long enough to braid but you can put it in a little bun/ponytail.

His monster fur is long enough to braid though!! You can totally do that. He likes it.

In his monster form, he rubs up against you a lot to get his scent on you. Be prepared for shedding. He always gets you a lint roller once he's human again. Will accept your teasing but might pout a little.

He actually can flirt but if Rainer walks into the room, Cas just completely goes silent and buries his face in the nearest soft surface because Rainer is very innocently and loudly asking 'WhAt'S a MiGnOnNe/MiGnOn??' (feminine/masculine word for 'cute' in French, according to Google)

doescashaveaheat???yeahhefuckingdoesbutthatsawholeotherpostforawholeothertime

[gallalctyka]

can we hear abt casimar....

^ me when i'm asked about my ocs :333

OKAY SO... i've talked a little bit about them already but here's a more detailed rundown!!

casimir (cas or cassie for short) is part of a nomadic "faction" of bounty/demon hunters in the post-apocalyptic wasteland that is what was eastern bloc during the cold war. the hunters have a sort of love-hate reputation, on one hand they're one of the only ones capable of handling the danger that a lot of demons and spirits pose on everyday basis. on the other, they're not known to be particularly generous in spite of that (they do sort of have the mentality of "survival of the fittest"), not to mention their disdain for demons extends towards the non-harmful or neutral ones - a good demon is a banished one. also they aren't fond of the divine either, wishing to overthrow the status of the gods worshipped across the land

cas is more... divided on the matter. they don't jump at the opportunity to kill any demon that they encounter (more of a hassle than anything) but WILL be distrustful. as for gods - they do find their worship ridiculous because as far as they were taught they didn't do shit as humanity was literally at its end. they certainly won't give their offerings at the altars they come across on their journey. and it's a mentality they grew up with, as they were taken in by a group of hunters when they found them as an orphaned child in one of the abandoned(?) soviet research facilities

as the story starts they're 17 and honestly quite skilled, a prodigy of sorts. the hunters do find them to be a valuable asset. cassie doesn't care for it that much though - all they want is to find a way to get out of the walls to the outside world. maybe it's foolish to believe that the situation is truly better beyond the iron curtain but hey, better try that than to slowly rot with demons at every corner. which eventually leads them to lviv as they look for intel and MAYBE a way to pass the never ending storms that make traveling so dangerous AND make the road towards west practically unpassable

casimir might come off as apathetic and a bit selfish, seemingly only fueled by their own goal and seeing others as nothing more than means to an end. it was the mentality they were raised into after all. not to mention that they're still a teenager with some deep attachment and intimacy issues lol hunters make for SHIT family. believe it or not they do have good intentions. they have a STRONG sense of justice, which makes their disdain for the gods all the more understandable as well as them genuinely believing to be in the right about their attitude towards all demons and spirits. they're fascinated by history and what The Ancestors (ie people who lived before the nuclear war) were like. they love learning!! also they're big fan of white chocolate (don't ask how people managed to be able to still make it after the world ended in eastern europe of all places. soviets did some crazy shit here). they like krówki also- a sweets kind of guy :)

they have a hard time forming bonds though due to their messed up upbringing and what not. BUT they manage to find themselves two adoptive uncles hehe. nikolai and elias, two enigmatic brothers who seem to know a lot more than they let on... yeah spoiler alert they're actually the two leading gods in slavic faith lol. so it's kind of funny to watch them slowly growing to consider each other a real family while the two are something that cassie was taught to hate. they do get over that mentality though. kind of. everything is complicated

kind of crazy that they involved themselves with gods of all things. there's no chosen one in this story. however there is something about them that nikolai found... intriguing and concerning at the same time, hence why he continued interacting with them. long story short casimir may not be as human as they thought they were
