#C: Techne

[shardclan]

"Well look at you," Techne said sourly. "You two look like bouncing godsdamned babies."

Telos looked away from her window with a bright, if slightly distracted smile. Normally she might have reproached Techne for her unnecessary harshness, but Telos was so far beyond Techne as a personal concern it hardly seemed to matter. She was like that with many things these days, and had to take significant care not to just let herself float away on her own giddiness.

Zo, in contrast, looked a bit more on the nervous side. His wedding was approaching, and while he wouldn't have changed it for all the world, the natural stress of it let his obvious joy a jittery quality. He looked fit to vibrate himself off this plane of existence.

The sight of the young, blue eyed skydancer standing at Techne's side was a lead weight that brought both of them quite firmly back to the ground.

"A water branch?" Telos asked quizzically.

"Ha! Never. An Ice branch observer." Techne took a deep breath. "My inheritor."

Telos leaned back, her head rattling and eyes squinting as she processed what she was being told. Ice dragons were the middle caste of the House and generally made up the enforcers and observers (which were just enforcers waiting for their target to fuck up). There was plenty of subtext to unpack about an observer being present, but Telos was far more concerned that Techne had picked an inheritor.

"You'll be leaving soon then?" Telos asked quietly.

Techne scowled. "Don't make that fucking face. It had to happen some day and quite honestly if I hadn't been on this Aphaster case waiting to ensure you went properly into exaltation and mitigating this whole nightmare with you--" She pointed accusingly at Zo. "--and Subject C, it would have probably been a long time ago."

Telos nodded and sat heavily in her chair. She folded her arms, gesturing openly at the chairs on the other side of her desk. "Have a seat then. Tell me what you want."

The skydancer moved to take the seat, but Techne hummed a short reprimand. "We don't want anything. The facts of the matter are that I've passed on my memories, and I will be going into exaltation. However, even in your absence the House wants an eye on this clan."

"On this clan or on me?" Zo asked coolly.

Techne's face darkened. The report made from his memory exchange with the Librarians had done nothing but piss her off. But that wasn’t the subject at hand so she took a deep breath and stayed on topic. "On this clan. Regardless of the presence of absence of yourself and Telos, there is plenty of interesting information to be had around here. Like that plague girl who came back from several eons caught in an Arcane time storm. I hear she's doing well."

Telos smirked. "After a whole cycle not reading our news or listening to our gossip, now you decide to keep your ear to the ground."

Techne shrugged and gestured to the young, cold-eyed skydancer who in many respects bore a resemblance to her. "Nabreus will be settling in here to ensure that you go off to exaltation as expected and to keep watch on this clan post-Morning Queen."

"And to enforce the terms of the deal," Zo grumbled.

"You have Jorah to enforce on your side," Nabreus pointed out impersonally. "Equal presence of enforcement is nothing to feel sour at."

Tension swelled into the room, but Telos was quick to dispel it. "Nabreus will need to be screened by Azricai, like all others requesting permanent residency. Zo, would you mind?"

Zo's mouth twisted, but he obediently guided his junior out of Telos' office, leaving the two females alone. Complicated, unspoken words clogged both their minds, sticking on their tongues like mud. They were...sisters of a sort, after all. And as much as they had butted heads, there was a real current of respect, possibly even care, between them if one could look past the political animosities.

"I take it you wont be there to see me off?" Telos tried.

Techne's face scrunched. "No, I'm getting the fuck out of here before you can make more trouble for me. Knowing this clan, you'll get up there and the Observatory itself will blow up." She caught Telos' visible flinch, and her eyes narrowed. "I'm joking, Telos."

"Yeah..."

Techne rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry. ...Really. You've more than earned it, and I'm sure everything will go fine."

"It sounds even less believable when someone as joyless as you pours it on like that."

Techne's crest rose, but she caught the playful grin on Telos lips. She lit a cigerette, and acknowledged her fellow Xannite with a low bow of her head. "Good Starfall and be exulted in exaltation, you Arcane menace."

Telos smiled, and respectfully traced the symbol of Xanna's Eye over her brow. "Don't torment the gods too much, Techne."

techno doing this 180 but still being SO incredibly selfish i hate him literally more than ever now like holy shit. cc techno literally one of my favorites of all time right up there but oh my god do i want his character died. 

obviously theres the whole youre kind to me ill repay that, you fuck me up ill repay that even worse. dream wasnt even good to him dream saved him SOLELY to get techno on his good side and get that favor from him !! but hey, its technos ideal, its a HUGE part of his character and such a big reason behind his hypocrisy. except that huge part of his ideal means we get.

"YOU. you have fucked up so much of this server everyone who knows you thinks youre better off in jail my friends seem to all hate you i dont even like you and if you escape its a lose situation for everyone. EXCEPT for myself and my allies of course, considering we are kinda pals (and if we werent im stronger than you) so i can just keep myself and them safe. i will let you out now because you saved My life that one time. i dont know the true depth of the consequences for this but even if i did i wouldnt care because its a win for me even if its a lose for literally everyone else. lets get you out and then i can go back to living my life and not giving a shit about you."

i wont even get INTO shit with sam bc dear GOD but like. if dream hadnt escaped or he’d handed him back in ranboo would not be dead. and of course theres dream with the revive book and techno mentioning how its great that dream owes them, because he can bring people back to life. another win for technoblade!

techno who now cares deeply for the syndicate deciding for ranboos sake and No Other Reason that hes fine with talking to tubbo like a human being now. hes fine with teaming up with tubbo, who he NEVER apologized to, who he scarred permanently when he murdered him under “peer pressure” in spite of even then being the most powerful person on the server, whose entire country he blew up twice. the butcher army was very much “you hurt us, we’re going to hurt you both for that and before you can do it again” and it was HORRIFIC but it really followed technos own ideals and the man still couldnt fathom it.

techno and tubbo in character were friends at the very start and since then techno has done NOTHING but treat tubbo as less than human and instead as the living embodiment of what techno hates and wants to destroy most. technoblade hates governments, blew lmanburg down to bedrock for daring to ‘use’ him, as if he didnt follow President Schlatt’s direct orders to execute tubbo publically. as if he didnt burn a crater into skin at the command of a government long before he burned the land. 

not that it matters, not that the entire syndicate at techno’s lead going to snowchester to interrogate and “cyberbully” (that was a really funny way to put it actually and im so mad about it) tubbo matters, not that the fact that techno has only EVER been a sign that tubbo is about to get burned matters. because tubbo can give him answers on ranboo, and if they team up they can get ranboo back. tubbo is fine now because he is a useful tool in returning one of technos friends to him.

idk man! 180 and all but like. wow i hate him so bad <3

[angeloncewas]

How long is your sentence btw? Seems like you have been in prison for a while now

I think I'm a lifer, dear anon. But mark my words, I will be out of here soon >:)

hand-holding headcanons with c!Technoblade

Warnings: cursing, mentions of insecurities and violence

Pairing: c!Technoblade x Reader

♡♡♡

- okay so the idea of Techno being part piglin is yes, so i can see him growing up insecure about his skin, not wanting it to be rough or course like pig skin

- so mans moisturizes religiously and his skin is SO soft because of it

- like sure he’ll have callouses from where he handles his equipment and all the hard work he puts in, but even with those his skin is soft as hell

- just imagining finally being able to hold the Blood God’s hand at some point and you’re just like ‘holy fuck why are his hands so much softer than mine’

- ✨drop that skincare routine✨

- no matter your hand size compared to his, he likes to wrap his hand around yours in a way that makes him feel like he’s keeping it safe

- he loves to feel like he’s just protecting you, and that bleeds into his interactions with you, i.e. how he holds your hand

- if you play with his fingers he will m e l t like bruhhhhh his heart just flutters and he’s like ‘how can?? one person?? make me feel?? so strongly?! they’re just holding my hand??!?!’

- if you were straight-forward and walked right up to him and just grabbed his hand his face would go like BRIGHT red

- “flustered? me? no no i’m basically a god i don’t get flustered-“ “mhmm whatever you say :)”

- “no i don’t know what you’re talking about my face isn’t red at all-“ “sure Techno, sure.”

- and the voices just go off teasing him about how soft he is for you, only embarrassing him further

- but just think about it, unwinding after a long hard day, sitting beside Techno (maybe watching a sunset or some other romantic shit) and he just wordlessly reaches over, taking your hand in his without even sparing a glance?

- you don’t even need him to look at you, the gesture communicates for him more than enough

- plus if he were to have actually looked over he would’ve been a blushing idiot, giving in to the teasing and embarrassment of the voices lmao

- just imagine delicately running your fingers along the scars or veins on his hands, tracing the little lines and even leaving small kisses on his knuckles

- call me a sap with wishful thinking, but i think that he would be so soft for his s/o; melting every time you traced his scars or veins, his heart fluttering with every little kiss you leave, just... he doesn’t know what to do when you’re being so lovey!

- it makes him want to be all lovey-dovey in return but he lowkey fights the urges to show his softness

- if he were insecure about any of his scars or anything about his hands, having you kiss these insecurities or even just show them positive attention would be so reassuring to him and he’d love it

- he loves doing the same with your hands, kissing any of your scars or just admiring how your fingers are shaped; he almost always ends up giving into his urges to be lovey, despite his embarrassment

- it’s likely that your hands are smaller than his, because well partial piglin tall-ass dood over here is bound to have some pretty big hands; he loves the way his hands can just curl around your smaller ones

- and if you somehow happen to have bigger hands than him? first of all, doesn’t stop him from trying to be the one to wrap his hands around yours, not the other way around; and second of all, although he’d never admit aloud, he does enjoy his hand being the one covered for once if you did manage to do so

- when he’s gone through a particularly bloody battle, he’s hesitant to hold your hand; to touch you with the same hands that just slaughtered so many, the same hands that kill

- but you��re like ‘nooo lemme love youuuu’ and you grasp his shaking hands, holding them in yours and you pull him close, showing him that he is loved and he always will be

- you show him that although he can fight like a monster that’s not what he is, he is not just some monster or weapon or ‘Blood God’; when it comes down to it, he is simply just Technoblade. your Technoblade

- and god dammit, at the end of the day, you’re going to hold his hands; even if those hands have helped to destroy many things, you are going to hold them tight and hold them with love

okay got a little ramble-y with this but anyways just ugh, to hold hands with Techno 🥺🥺

what can i say? i have a particularly soft spot in my heart for this anarchist

hope you enjoyed :)

My Beloved

character(s): c!Technoblade x reader

genre: angst to fluff

warning(s): mentions of death, blood, injury, bodies, Technoblade being ooc (out of character)

It was quiet, too quiet for Technoblade's liking.

His mind was racing as he frantically searched for Y/n, hoping to see something, anything, that would mean they were ok.

The voices were loud, screaming at him, but he could still feel just how eery it actually was. He could see it.

Bodies and blood painted the surrounding area, only causing Techno's fear to rise. Oh god please don't let Y/n's body be one of the ones amongst them. Just at the thought of them being dead made Technoblade want to fall to his knees.

"Y/N!" He screamed, praying that he'll get a response. He focused on the sounds, forcing the voices into silence as he listened.

that's when he heard it.

***

You're body felt as if it were crushed.

You tried to yell, scream, make a sound that someone would hear, but you couldn't. You were in so much pain, it felt exaggerating just just feel it.

You lifted your arms, trying to pull yourself from the rubble that on-top of your already weak and bloodied body.

You rememberd how it happened, one of your enemies shooting a fire arrow onto the TNT that was set a little ways behind you. The explosion caused your body to fly back, hitting a wall that then soon crumpled on-top of you.

Your body hurt so much, the small movement causing the rubble to shift slightly as you somehow pulled yourself from under it. As you attempted to stand up, a familiar voice rang through your ears. "Y/N!"

Eyes shooting open, your tried your hardest to stand up, a small weak cry leaving your body as you fell back to the ground. Tears welled up in your eyes as you didn't notice the series of footsteps heading your way.

"Y/n!" His voice frantically yelled as he knelt down on his knees beside your body. eyes flickering from each injury he saw scattered across your body.

"Tech," You croaked out as you wrapped your arms around his neck, tears streaming down your face as you felt your body go limp within his arms.

"Hold- hold on I'm gonna get you out of here." Techno told you, trying to be reassuring as he wrapped his arms around your injured frame as he lifted you up. "just stay awake for me, ok? I need you to promise me you won't fall asleep."

You weakly nodded your head, a soft promise being whispered out as you put all of your weight onto him. You head felt fuzzy as he ran, his legs taking him as fast as he could while he tried to get to the closest area with medical supplies.

Your eyes started to droop from the amount of exhaustion, feeling too tired to stay awake. Techno noticed this instantly, shaking your form as he tried to keep you awake. "No you promised. C'mon I need you to keep that promise." His voice had started to fade out, as your head fell to the side, finally blacking out as the last thing you heard was frantic yelling.

***

The second the couple had gotten back to Techno's cabin, the piglin hybrid layed Y/n's sleeping figure down.

He let out a sigh of relief, happy that they were finally at home and safe. He had to stop in a small town for medical supplies, patching up Y/n who still lay unconscious.

He thought they looked so peaceful despite the scary amount of cuts and bruises. He sat down beside them, pushing the hair that was swept infront of their face away. Techno stayed there for a good couple of hours as he watched them, making sure where were no irregular patterns in their breathing every now and then.

As his body finally relaxed as he moved his hand to their forehead, checking their temp. At first he started to question if he was paranoid. Maybe he was being too doubtful? Closing his eyes, Techno took a deep breath I'm hopes of calming his nerves.

He sat there for a few seconds before he felt movement from beside him. Shooting to look over at Y/n he saw them lazily look up at him. A soft smile on their face.

Y/n tried to sit up but soon winced in pain causing Technoblade to gently push them back down against the bed. "Lay down."

Y/n nodded their head, relaxing back into the bed as they felt him scoot closer. With an expectant gaze Y/n stared up at him, the Blood God immediately knowing what to do as he layed down beside Y/n, gently pulling their form into his arms while making sure to avoid any sudden movements.

"better?" he asked, hearing a soft mumbled from against his chest as he held them. The two were silent for a couple minutes, Technoblade letting the fact that they were safe, they were alive and not dead, finally sink in. "you scared the crap out of me."

Y/n felt themselves shrink within his arms, the guilt of whatever happened weighing down on them. Y/n couldn't quite remember much, just something about keeping their eyes open and the pain. "Sorry," They murmured as they cuddled up to him, his body radiating an impossible amount of warmth that Y/n so desperately wanted.

Techno had grabbed the blanket the had sprawled out beside them to pull it over Y/n's form. Making sure they were warm and comfortable, Techno kissed the top of their head. He may not be able to see it, but he could tell Y/n smiled. They always did whenever he showed them some sort of affection, usually causing him to smile as well. He would never admit this to anyone but their smile was contagious.

As time slowly passed by, Techno had held you close to him for most of it. Having gotten up once to go get you food and water.

"I need to get up," he told them as he pulled his arms away, soon trying to pull Y/n's now whiney figure away.

"noooo," They grumbled as they pulled themselves closer to him. "stay."

Techno chuckled at them, "I'll be back, stop being a baby."

"Never. You're not allowed to leave." Y/n told him, still hanging onto his body.

Techno let out a long groan, trying to mask the big grin that had come across face. Knowing he wouldn't win this small dispute, he decided to take them with him. "Fine. Let's go." He said as he cautiously lifted them up. "I'm not hurting you in any way, am i?"

Y/n shook their head with a small giggle, happy with just how much be cared. "No pain at all, Tech."

"you-" before he could finished his sentence he was cut off.

"Yes, I'm one hundred and ninety-nine percent sure." They had assured him, making sure he knew they were ok.

"i don't think that's a high enough percentage," Tech joked as he walked through the hall that lead towards his kitchen. "What do you want?"

"Ice cream?" Y/n suggested, already knowing that he had a serious look on his face at it.

"something healthy," He told them as he opened one of the cupboards in search of a snack.

"Ice cream."

"No, you are not getting ice cream." Techno shook his head trying to conceal a grin.

"but I want ice cream," Y/n pouted, knowing that at some point in time he would give in to them, and then proceeded to get them ice cream.

"When you are better, no ice cream." Techno went to look through a chest, soon spotting his giant hoard of a certain food. "potatoes?"

"ew no," Y/n shook their head in refusal, not wanting to eat anything that wasn't ice cream. "ice cream."

"I told you, you're-"

Y/n moved their head to look at him with a pout. "please?" Y/n pleased, making sure to draw out the E.

"Technoblade was silent as he gazed to look into their pleading eyes, before furrowing his eye brows with a huff. He had given in. "fine."

Y/n soon had a triumphant smile as they listened to the piglins grumbling, feeling his arm move to open the freezer. "You and your stupid puppy eyes. Making me get you ice cream and having me take care of you. so spoiled I should just make you do all of this yourself."

Y/n giggled at him ad they left a small kiss on his body, soon laying their head on the same spot they had kissed. "You are lucky I love you."

"I know I am, my love."

The principle behind the saying "familiarity breeds contempt" wasn't entirely lost on Arcanus. He'd served the old dynasty since the fifth, and seen the entire lineage since grow from sinless hatchlings to adults with a broad range of personalities. Some, like the Sixth, meshed well with him. The blood was strong enough between them that it was simple for them to get along. Others, like the Appointer, were fine when they were hard at work, but privately had the personality of a tail rash, while fore others this was inverted. The Economist, for example, openly had a the personality of an opal cobra with a toothache, and yet she was easily among the least abrasive of his many charges.

The problem Arcanus had was that "familiarity breeds contempt" was the bedfellow of "absence makes the heart grow fonder"--a concept that went in the exact opposite direction which made infinitely more sense. Why shouldn't one miss someone they are fond of? It felt obvious. But then, it also felt obvious to Arcanus that comfort should be the only thing bred by familiarity in any type of cordial relationship.

There was a lot Arcanus might have once held in contempt about Carnelian, for example. The man wasn't accountable to anyone. His temper and proclivity for violence meant he was more or less a paid vigilante. Or, in the recent case of Hitth's wings, an unpaid one with great publicity. He got in moods--GODS did he get in moods. He was unpredictable and aggressively kept himself untethered to places and people around him even when he obviously cared about them. He was... he was like a bigger, angrier, less disciplined Smoke Gyre, when he truly didn't need to be. Maybe he still held those things in contempt, just a little, but for the most part those were all things Arcanus had come to like about Carnelian.

Telos and Techne's relationship was more like a continuous stream of contempt peppered with only the most fleeting moments of familial care. The latter's recent absence had done little to make either of them fonder of each other.

"He's using you," Techne hissed.

"He should be," Telos shot back. "He should use everything he's got to keep Junior out of this."

"You've been away from the House too long. That's not how we do things--it's not Xannite." She took a short but intense drag that would have burned a less dedicated smoker, her horns vibrating all the while. "Are you not getting that your son threatened the House with war?"

Arcanus kept perfectly still, barring a single flick of his eyes toward the corner of the room. Bestealcian was glancing back at him with the same carefully blank expression.

"I get it just fine. What I don't get is why you think I care? Why do you think I'm going to call him out or reign him in?" She whipped her arm around the room, drawing attention to both the finery that had amassed as the result of gifts and the mounds of paperwork on her desk. "Does this look like a place you'd find a Xannite who is still about the House first?"

"Maybe, just a thought, I expected you to care about the kid's well being a little more since you built this whole fucking kingdom all because you were so hung up on his father!"

Arcanus saw the punch shoot up from Telos lower back up to her shoulder where her muscles bunched dangerously and coiled down into her arm like a snake readying for a deadly lunge. But it died there. She choked it back somewhere between elbow and wrist, refusing to dignify Techne’s words with so much as a clenched fist.

"You don't know anything." The words were firm and assured.

"I know your son is more attached to the House than you are," Techne insisted with an accusatory jab of her cigarette. "You may have checked the fuck out because you're untouchable up on your throne, but he isn't. I want you to just--” 

She squeezed the cigarette between her claws, her tongue flicking rapidly as she rubbed at her crest. “Just think about this. Think about it for more than 5 fucking seconds, Telos, what's going to happen to him if anything happens to you. I did you a favor helping you with Hitth, but clearly something happened to both of you in there. I understand he’s trying to get married but next thing he'll be claiming he's a fucking prince just cause you're his mother."

Telos didn't answer immediately, and Arcanus saw the anger in her eyes cool. Her thumb rubbed, as it often did, at the spinel ring, and her words came slow and measured. "I have known since the beginning that if I failed as Aphaster's queen, the House would reclaim me. It was you who thought I should be taken back in spite of it all to begin with. So don't think that I haven't considered that Zo has put himself in a dangerous position. The House is patient and we remember--that's our purpose. The moment they sense an opening, they will send an enforcer."

"And yet..." Techne prompted impatiently.

"And yet that is the choice he made. And it would spit on everything we teach our own to tell him to make a different decision."

Techne threw her hands up in agitation. "It's a decision that that relies on you to begin with! That's the problem! How can you be fine with being dragged into being his living shield?!"

Telos' brows drew together and she crossed her arms. "Aren't you being a bit hasty to assume I'm going to be dragged anywhere? Zo can say what he wants, and the House can test me if it likes, but I don’t actually have any obligation to do anything."

"Cut the shit," Techne growled with a tired loll of her head. Her tone was unimpressed at best. "You love your son like a skydancer loves flight, you're not going to stand by and do nothing. I know it, you know it, everybody fuckin knows it."

"Then you're all wrong," Telos countered.

Techne stared at Telos, but her expression wore down the coatl's skepticism. She drew her cigarette slowly from her lips, her expression drawing in tight as she waited for a joke that wasn't coming. Finally, after finding no purchase, she peered over at Arcanus and pointed weakly at Telos.

The knight met her eyes, looked again at his queen's expression, and gave a single slow nod.

"You're...." Techne began suspiciously. "Not... going to help him...?"

"There's no need for me to." Seeing Techne confused, Telos sat on the edge of her desk in decidedly unladylike fashion with her elbows propped on her thighs. "What exactly did Zo say to the Librarians?"

"He said he was offering a complete memory transfer of everything that happened to him when he was with the Outsider, in exchange for  the right for him and his own to live out-of-house." Her eyes narrowed, and she jabbed the cigarette back in her mouth, sucking bad-temperedly. "And then that those were his most generous terms and any attempt at retrieval would lead to the House's destruction by Aphaster and its allies."

Telos rubbed at her nose, if only to hide a creeping smirk. "That little snitch..." She leaned back, shaking with barely suppressed laughter. "Now I'm definitely not going to lift a finger for him. If what you said is true, Zo is going to throw my standing with the House right into the Wyrmwound."

Techne's crest rose while her cigarette drooped, and she tiredly rubbed at her eyes. "What did you do this time?"

"Take his offer and find out," Telos teased blithely. She wiped the bit of mirth from her eyes, and tried to put on a serious face. "Techne, I know have tunnel vision when it comes to Zo sometimes--"

"All the time," the coatl muttered.

"--But true to the codes of the House, I treasure his identity and the life he is trying to live with it above all else. I advised him to use what he has, and he's using it."

"Which is apparently something stronger than you."

"Oh, absolutely. I'm just a politician who knows how to throw a good punch and swing a rapier in a bind. I have to think about this clan's well-being. Can you imagine me trying to make this clan go to war just for my son? It'd be like if the Auditor came out and told us to dismantle the Machine."

Both of them shared a slight shudder at the thought, but Telos pressed on. "Have you ever met Junior? Really met him? Has the House begun looking into him now that Zo has given his ultimatum?"

"I've warned them against trying to get close by the usual method. The Enforcers are weighing my proposal to just have me go talk with Dreamweaver and the relevant party."

"Parties, Techne, I promise you that's going to be plural." She shifted sideways onto the desk to better face Techne and pressed a hand sincerely to her chest. "I'm not the shield in this. I never was. The thing that will destroy the House is not really Aphaster or even Feldspar. It's Junior himself."

“...What?”

"Zo has chosen to marry one of the most beloved young men in Southern Sunbeam. Junior is a powerhouse of barely stable Arcane energy. He's the treasured son of a once-king--a man who was beloved by my husband's father and who would get dangerous and unpredictable if you tried to take Junior away. He is nephew to a still-king, grandson to a loving and highly dangerous progenitor, and recently he is a father to Jorah." She laughed, a little frantically. "And Jorah alone would tear the House apart with his bare hands if he thought for even a second that being there made Junior or Zo sad."

Techne blew smoke very slowly from her nostrils--her way of expressing an impressed silence. Telos leaned in close, and whispered conspiratorially. "And Junior is considered part of the dynasty even more so that Zo. Lutia is Zo's aunt by blood, but she Junior's aunt by proclamation, and we both know we don't have Enforcers who can deal with her."

Techne's cigarette lifted with her brow. "They made up?"

Telos rolled her eyes and rubbed at the bridge of her nose. "They made up eons ago, Techne. That's what I mean. You're not in Aphaster often and you dont read the paper or catch up with local gossip when you do come here. You don't have a pulse on the relationships peripheral to this marriage at all or you would know better."

Techne plucked the cigarette from her lips and leaned against Telos' desk. Arcanus was at both their backs now, so he couldn't make out their expressions but he could see the slight circular turn of Techne's crest where she must have been rubbing her temples. Telos reached out to lay a hand on her back, but Techne was quick to raise her claws to preserve her personal space.

"As a keeper of the Machine, and Inquisitor of House Xanna, I demand a truthful answer from you. Did the events that occurred when you faced Hitth include anything that would be considered treason against us and our way?"

"They did," Telos answered truthfully.

"From what party?"

"Subject C."

Techne's crest stood, and the feathers around her chest near doubled in size. "No end to the fuckin troubles that wildclaw caused us..." she snarled under her breath. "Was any forbidden knowledge exchanged?"

"Not to my knowledge."

"I see. Then I've no cause to act as an Inquisitor in this situation and I get to make this merry report about how two epochs in a row an Arcanite is going to be living out-of-House due to a bunch of marital bullshit." She went to flick the stub of her cigarette, and caught Arcanus' glare. With a petty glare back, she ground it out on the marbled edge of Telos' desk and smeared away the ash with her tail before lighting up a fresh one. Still grumbling, she excused herself, and the last thing they heard before she slammed the door behind herself with a distinct mutter of "Un-fuckin-believable..."

Arcanus inspected the edge of the desk and wiped it with his thumb just to be sure it was as clean. Beastealcian materialized between him and Telos. “Soooo...”

He gave a distracted hum.

"Do you think she noticed the new make up?"

They both looked at their queen. Telos' fingers wandered up to her cheek. Very shortly after finally laying her mourning lace to rest, she rang in the anniversary of her coronation and the official formation Clan Aphaster by also letting the trail of golden tears be laid to rest. She had replaced them with 4 rays of gold shining down from under her left eye.

Telos laughed and shook her head. "She was so preoccupied with Zo, I don’t think she realized anything was different at all."

[businessbois]

hello blue :D i would like to know everything you would like to tell me about your favourite fic you've written

lyssie shrugofgod weirdly-enough this is the kindest thing ever i hope you're ready for vaguely comprehensible ranting.

okay so i couldn't choose between two fics "once i called you brother" and "the art and (mine)craft of war" because i could talk forever about both, but im gonna talk about "once i called you brother" because its the less popular one

heres the link :)

so i basically wrote this fic because i thought that the song "the plagues" from prince of egypt (or at least the opening lines) were incredibly perfect for c!tommy and c!techno and it was a shame that no one did an animatic for it yet. i cannot draw so i just wrote a fic for it.

once i called you brother once i thought the chance to make you laugh was all i ever wanted

is that literally not tommy with techno though?

and then the rest of the song can read as like doomsday or november 16th, you know, them arguing about selfishness and betrayal and all that. the song fucking slaps.

but anyways the fic itself? the opening is inspired by how like, if you didn't know who technoblade was during the beginning of the smp, he would just be this mysterious figure of legend that tommy, wilbur, or dream occasionally talked about. it hit me during the dream v technoblade duel stuff that since techno had never been on the smp before, he was just this invisible dude with a huge reputation and that was so cool to me.

"Alrighty, I've been here before, right?"

"Listen, Techn—Dream..."

these are quotes from tommy that i quoted in the fic. i used to do this a lot, just stick quotes with no context into fics because i assumed everyone had the same precise memory of everything that went on the smp that i did. the first one is referring to tommy being surrounded by people outside the community house and "i've been here before" is him remembering a similar scenario on smpearth and therefore technoblade. the second is when he accidentally calls dream techno (about 30 seconds into this comp) again adding to techno's thing of being just this widely alluded to figure.

"Who do you think will win? My bets on our boy, Dream, but feel free to be wrong."

Niki stays quiet, a small frown on her face.

i feel bad for cutting niki absolutely owning dream with "well, techno's my friend" but it simply couldnt stay in for fic purposes

waking up to a frantic Bitzel muttering about hypothermia and something heavy and red covering his shivering frame.

smpearth is canon because i Want it to be canon and in my canon there's a moment where tommy passes out in the middle of a fight and techno brings him back to business bay wrapped up in his cape because he's technosoft and all their fighting is more like play fighting anyways

Tommy knows that love is earned. That if he does well in some Championships, then his place in the family is secured.

this is inspired by the bet that wilbur and tommy had in like mcc8 that if they placed fifth or higher tommy could be in sbi. in tommy's pov it becomes, "you have to earn your place in this family."

“Because I’m not the vice president.”

this is from one of his exile streams where he's talking to dream about why people won't visit him anymore

Tommy is 10 and too big for his boots.

this section is inspired by tommy's story of how he met techno as told in this storytime.

there is something that flickers at the back of his mind when the ratty zombie child calls him The Blade.

i think it's so incredibly special that everybody calls techno The Blade but like,, that's tommy's nickname for him. theres this moment where tommy's talking about giving techno a nickname and techno's like "you call me The Blade!' again, everybody calls techno The Blade, but he tells tommy "you call me The Blade." like i don't know how to articulate this but, that's tommy's nickname for him. they're brothers.

Tommy's been to war with soft, pale blues.

ae reference because again, smpearth is canon cuz i said

Tommy is 13 and standing over the remains of Business Bay's storage area.

this is an smpearth thing. wisp and vop did a whole grief of business bay, it was very dramatic very tragic. the thing with techno coming to business bay to talk to tommy is from this comic and i hold this headcanon close to my heart.

"Tommy, if anyone gives you trouble—and I mean serious trouble, not the kind we have—you tell me.”

Tommy hears an echo of similar words from the man who just burnt down everything he’s worked for.

"Tommy, anyone that touches you fucks with me... I will kill Techno if it takes me all of my life to prepare for it, you understand me?"

im so proud of this parallel between wisp and techno man you have no clue. okay, so like i said before, the ae versus bb thing in my head is very much like play fighting. sometimes it gets serious like the scenario which is happening in the fic where things actually get destroyed. that's because they're stubborn teenaged boys and conflicts can go from fun to actual trouble real quick. these "similar words" and the following quote are references to one of my favorite wisp moments ever. wisp, for anyone unclear on smpearth backstory, was a part of business bay before he betrayed them for the antarctic empire. he was also the one who burnt down the storage area which is why tommy's remembering this quote so bitterly.

Tommy rolls his eyes. "I pinky promise, Technoblade." He sticks out his little finger like a challenge.

the pinky promising is Canon from like the post-exile streams i think and i headcanon it as something tommy just does with people

and so this is to put context to the "using techno" thing. because i've always kinda viewed as like calling in a friend (or a big brot—[gunshot]) in for help so this part of the fic gives it the background to be like that

But then, Tommy is 16 and standing in a cataclysm, once again watching everything he’s worked for get destroyed by a man who swore to protect him.

this line solidifies that parallel to wisp where techno made a similar promise to protect tommy and now he's destroying everything tommy's worked for (business bay in wisp's case, lmanburg in techno's case) im very proud of this parallel.

His tall brown-haired friend from competitions past

wilbur of course, the competitions past being mcm

He collects titles like music discs

i asked my friend for things that people collect and they said "records" and i said "wait—"

Technoblade is 17 and he has no family. He has a friend who makes sure he sleeps. He has a friend who creates bridges and mischief. He has a bug that he still hasn't squashed.

i've always loved the idea of sbi becoming this little found family on smpearth. like they're not super lovely dovey "we're like brothers" but they're so fond of each other and they hang out when they're not pretending to be at war. and so theres still that room to say that they're not family, but like they totally are

Bright blue eyes beg him for some entertainment, so Techno sighs and grabs The Complete Works of William Shakespeare off the shelf.

this headcanon that techno used to read them shakespeare comes from wilbur's offhand comment asking techno to recite king lear to them

Wilbur's planted himself at Techno's side for the duration of the finale, something that he's grateful for. Wilbur's always been his person to lean on for things like this.

inspired by i think wilbur saying that he was techno's like designated extrovert during mcc's and i really love that aspect of their relationship. because techno is looked at as "the older brother" in so many ways, but like in this way, when wilbur's guiding him through social situations and supporting him, he gets to be wilbur soot's little brother.

Technoblade never says I love you, but he reads his baby brother The Twelfth Night instead of Hamlet and ends Theseus' tale after the Minotaur.

this was one of the first things i had written for this fic. so obviously hamlet is a tragedy while the twelfth night is a rocking good time. so like going back to that shakespeare headcanon but techno protecting tommy in the little ways. the theseus part is inspired by me not knowing the rest of theseus' story after he gets home and his dad jumps into the ocean. like the exile and death stuff i didn't hear about until the dsmp so that's where that came from. techno, even though it kind of goes against who he is, leaving theseus' story as a victory where the hero slays the monster, just to give his little brother something with a happy ending

"Do you want to be a hero, Tommy? THEN DIE LIKE ONE!"

i did always think this could be seen as like "well if you want to be a hero, then you can die like one" and leaving off the unspoken "but if you don't want to be--if you choose not to be, then you get to live. so don't be a hero. please don't be a hero." and theres like that little tragedy there that i really love in techno and tommy's relationship. like, i love you, you love me, all i ever wanted was to make you laugh, but we don't speak the same language. we don't understand each other. everything you are is against everything i stand for. so yeah bedrock bros feels. i wrote this long before exile and all that so its even more complicated now gosh.

[carpedzem]

not to be this person but imagine c!phil, who still feels so guilty over killing c!wilbur, finding out about c!willbur's new burger van and blaming himself for pushing his son towards c!ranboo and being the reason why this is happening

luckily c!phil can always talk to c!techn- oh wait :)

I’m down for writing most character AUs. That is, alternate universes (medieval, heist,etc.). However, I have some content boundaries, which are the following:

This probably goes without saying, but I won’t write any suggestive themes with the minors. 

Pls give the pronouns you’d like me to use in your request! If none are given I will probably default to they/them.

I won’t write anything that romanticizes mental health issues. Nothing that makes a mental health issue look ‘aesthetic’ because as someone with mental health issues, it most certainly is not. 

I won’t write anything involving pregnancy or reader having children.

Please give me some detail on what you want!

A (not so) quick look at Coluan names

We don’t know a lot about Coluans or Coluan culture. They and their planet have gone through a lot of changes over the years and only a very limited number of the them have had important roles in the DC universe, which means that there aren’t a lot of named Coluan characters. But we can still discern some patterns in their naming conventions.

Firstly: They’re not human. Their names aren’t supposed to mean anything in any particular human language and while some do it seems to mostly be by accident (or laziness) rather than design. The vast majority of their names are entirely made up.

Coluans use a binominal naming system where they have one first name and one surname. They don’t seem to have middle names or add patronymics or matronymics to their names.

Their surnames are very simple, being between three and four letters and only one syllable long. Most, though not all, of them contain an “x” and they seem to commonly end in either an “x” or an “l”. It seems like surnames can be inherited from either the mother or the father and are inherited without being changed in any way. It’s unknown if Coluans switch surnames when or if they get married and how it’s determined which surname a child inherits. It’s been vaguely implied but never confirmed that Coluan names are gender neutral.

Canon Coluan surnames include the following names:

Dox

Fel

Fex

Gaz

Gix

Gozzl

Jax

Kol*

Lax

Mal

Naz

Nux

Prax

Varal

Wox

Xan

Xog

* May not be Coluan, despite fitting the pattern.

First names are where it becomes a little more complicated. A majority of the ones we’ve seen in canon are fairly similar and seem like they could stem from the same source, but there are a couple of outliers and due to how few named characters there are it’s hard to tell if certain writers had their own ideas about their naming conventions or just didn’t put much thought into it.

These are all the “typical” Coluan names Supergirltastic and I were able to find, with gender markers:

Vril (M)

Pran (M)

Kajz (M)

Querl (M)

Bry (M)

Orn (M)

Karik (M)

Ial (M)

Vrax (M)

Zarl (M)

Zygan (M)

Kov (M)

Praer (M)

Xart (M)

Toz (M)

Bron (M)

Vrajj (M)

Brel (M)

Vehel (M)

Lysl (F)

Kaja (F)

Peya (F)

Sharn (F)

Like the surnames they’re all quite short and many of them include an “x” and/or an “r”. All “k” sounds are represented by a “k” and not a hard “c”, something that’s also true for the one surname with a “k”. There are some soft sounds here and there, but for the most part they’re hard sounding names that seem to have been designed to have a very futuristic/alien feel. There are no dashes or apostrophes in any of them and most are one or two syllables long.

The following three names break away from that mould in one way or another:

Ginger

Z’ndr

Techne

Ginger is on the longer side, has a lot of soft sounds and straight up is a word and name in the real world. On their own those traits wouldn’t matter too much, but when they're combined they create a name that just doesn’t seem like it belongs with the more typical names.

Z’ndr may or may not have been named or renamed by a non-Coluan adoptive parent. The name isn’t too far off from the more typical names, but the apostrophe and lack of vowels means it doesn’t fit the more typical structure.

Techne also looks out of place when compared to the more typical names and it seems like the name was chosen because it resembles the word “tech” rather than because it’s a fitting name. It’s also the only Coluan name that contains a “c”, which would probably have been a “k” if her name followed normal conventions.

There are also a couple of Coluans with names that aren’t actually Coluan at all. There’s Lyrl, whose name is a bastardised Talokian name, after whom Lysl may or may not also have been named. And then there’s Var-Don. Var-Don had one singular appearance in 1967, but the writers of Adventure Comics had already established the names of the Dox family at least two years earlier, and the comic gives no explanation for the Kryptonian naming pattern of his name.

So, in conclusion, what do we know about Coluan names?

They consist of a surname and a first name and are short and simple. They contain a lot of hard sounds and make good use of the letters “x”, “r” and “k”. And that’s that.

The names in this post are taken from both 21st and 31st century characters, but due to Coluans having average lifespans of 600-800 years there shouldn’t be any major differences despite the time difference. The exception here is Kaja, but her name is in no way an outlier despite her being from very far back into the past.

[corvussy]

the assumption that someone, even another disabled/neurodivergent person, can tell a "fake" service animal in public relies on the assumptions that:

a) all service animals are guide ones who are visibly working 24/7, and cannot possibly be alert ones or comfort ones who only "work" when someone is having an episode/attack.

b) all disabled people have the money to spend on those fake certifications/vests in order to "pass" in public spaces unharassed. seriously, dont harass people once theyve said their animal is a service dog - if they have anxiety/paranoia/panic problems you're more likely than not just going to push them into a panic attack. and many "tells" for people lying are behaviors neurodivergent people display.

c) that people have time/money to get their service animals through extensive training... or need service animals that are trained to the extent of guide dogs. unless the animal is a physical danger to people around, just mind your business. even if a service animal doesnt seem to be doing anything (my dog just lays in my lap in public most of the time because I'm not a curled up ball of anxiety 24/7) or is tugging their leash or doesnt like other animals, doesnt mean they arent capable of performing their job for their person or arent "doing work or performing tasks for people with disabilities" - which is ALL they are required to do under the ADA.

disabled people dont have to share their specific disability, provide medical documentation, provide certification or identification for their service animal or its training, or make their service animal demonstrate its ability to perform its work/task.

forcing people to live in fear that they're going to be stopped in public for daring to have a service dog if it isnt a guide dog and making things harder for people to get approval for their service animal for things like airlines to try and sniff out the fakes just hurts the most vulnerable of us - anyone who cant afford 200$ fake mail order certificates or 500+$ 6 month training or even just a 20$ vest (or anyone who simply... doesnt want to waste their money on those things if their service animal works for them as is), those who cant defend themselves when they're verbally berated in public because people approach them assuming they're faking, or those who cant print and fill out a bunch of paperwork and make all necessary calls in advance to get the green light to travel with their service animal (especially if its short notice).

so sincerely fuck off with the rhetoric that fake service animals are a detriment to disabled people's rights.

  S’inaugura sabato  5 dicembre 2020, alle ore 18.00, la mostra Retrospettiva “TEXTURES - Racconti e trame per un immaginario gentile”, dedicata a Mauro Molinari, con 72 opere dal 1994-2007, che cerca di fare il punto sulle proposte tessili e immaginative dell’artista romano. In questa retrospettiva l’autore ci introduce nel mondo del linguaggio simbolico, nei racconti e tra le trame di un immaginario gentile dove ogni cosa sottesa racchiuse un senso, anche se possiamo percepirlo soltanto come una suggestione “appena trascritta” con il procedimento antico dei tessuti e carte utilizzate, rievocando lontani richiami per divenire suggestioni poetiche di una realtà sempre più evocativa e immaginaria.

Il percorso di Mauro Molinari, in circa un cinquantennio di lavoro, è contrassegnato da cicli diversi, come quelli dedicati all’informale, alla poesia visiva, ai libri d’artista, alla reinterpretazione degli antichi motivi tessili e nell’ultimo quindicennio al racconto della realtà urbana. Una lunga e appassionata ricerca contrassegnata da momenti diversi, tra filo, trama, intreccio e contrappunto, con un’attenzione assidua sulla presenza  che apre un varco nel tempo e sul vuoto spaziale in un intreccio di momenti e tempi diversi alla ricerca della relazione e dell’equilibrio per manifestarsi. Alla fine, l’intreccio diviene filo conduttore di storie e di significati che si dipanano in un viaggio carico di suggestioni e vibrazioni poetiche suggerite per frammenti di senso.  

A partire dagli anni 90, i motivi tessili rielaborati come segni, frammenti e presenze simboliche di forme naturali, vegetali e persino araldiche prendono forma fantastica su carte e tele, su preziosi libri d’artista, teatrini, abiti di carta, scarpe, cravatte e anche paramenti liturgiche, paliotti e pianete.

Sandro Bongiani nella presentazione in catalogo scrive: “Un universo assai complesso dettato da una specifica motivazione alla ricerca dell’invenzione creativa e dell’interpretazione fantastica. Il tutto avviene in circa 15 anni di lavoro con una pittura lieve e insostanziale che si deposita sulla pelle velata e fragile della carta per divenire sfuggente apparizione.

Libri teatro di  carta dipinta su tessuto, libri oggetto, libri giocattolo, libri a rilievo da aprire e libri  d’artista non sfogliabili che purtroppo non possiamo mai aprire, nelle sue mani tutto diventa favola e racconto ordito tra filamenti e trame di apparizioni che si stabilizzano nello spazio provvisorio della pittura, in un tempo sospeso e precario in cui l’immaginazione s’incarna alla ricerca dell’invenzione. Da questo incanto nascono presenze assorte nate tra le trame e i vagiti di remoti tessuti per divenire delicati racconti poetici di una realtà  tutta contemporanea.

Una lunga  e proficua stagione creativa “tessile” in cui l’artista è intento a indagare in modo assiduo un possibile recupero della memoria e a svelare le simbologie e i grovigli della vita con una verve visionaria in cui le coordinate del tempo e dello spazio si dilatano e perdono le loro abituali caratteristiche logiche in vista di nuove associazioni e traiettorie. La traccia di un suggerimento di memoria può ora finalmente distendersi tra la fragile carta e i brani di tessuto reale e divenire “ordito gentile”, trama e frammento di racconto che si libera dalle costrizioni in una narrazione a più livelli di lettura che s’intersecano e convivono. Solo in questo modo i frammenti del passato possono prendere forma e divenire materia lirica in rapporto alla vita, in un succedersi cadenzato e assorto di accadimenti e di intrecci allusivi che emergono da un tempo remoto per divenire contemporaneità  e soprattutto  essenza concreta di assoluto”.
