#Frieda Contritus

[sunnylucy31]

You’re a cruel bastard, Haurchefant.

You were there for me when all the world was against me. You showed me light where I could see only darkness. You gave me purpose when I had none, and reforged the realm’s blade anew.

Where are you now, when my despair can run no deeper?

You aren’t the first, you know. To die for my sake. I never understood it before. Even less so now.

Who gives their life for a broken sword?

If it were up to me, my parting smile for you would be my last. But I know that’s not what you would want. If you were here now, you’d hand me a steaming cup of cocoa and tell me to keep my chin up. To find joy in the simplest of things, in the mere act of living. Even at the edge of hope, you still found reasons to smile.

Against all my efforts, it’s what made me fall for you.

So I’ll walk on. I’ll get stronger. I’ll save the nation you cherished. And however it tears me apart, I’ll smile whenever I can.

But a part of myself shall forever remain here. For I am a tapestry of everyone I’ve ever cared about, and my weave will always be lesser without your brilliant color.

Until we meet again, my love.

“Oh my god this will make them so much more problematic 😊💛”

me making my oc a worse person

[sunnylucy31]

I’ve made a few of these for the Tomb of Time cast and more often than not Maya and Harrow end up sharing a square. This too is (very toxic) yuri.

have you answered about what pokemon teams ur ocs would have???? if not, well....... 👁👁 what pokemon would they have????

Alright so I kinda went ham on this and made full Pokemon teams for both my OCs AND the canon Tomb of Time cast. I’ll post them all here with some notes! Generally, I gave everyone a single legendary/mythical, and a couple have partner Pokemon that don’t battle, which are included in the corner of their trainer portraits.

Celebi is obvious; a time traveler needs a time traveling Pokemon! Max keeps them out in most circumstances.

Butterfree is a reference to the LiS butterfly. Pity there aren’t any blue butterfly Pokemon.

Clefable and Blissey are much like Max: rare and shy, but friendly when they trust you. Also pink.

Pink Deerling for the pink Jane Doe shirt Max typically wears in LiS.

Tinkaton, again, is much like Max: pink and cute, but will absolutely wreck your shit if given cause (Remember how she almost shot Frank? Imagine if she’d had a hammer instead of a gun.)

Shaymin is admittedly influenced by TToT Chloe’s mother being Persephone, but I think Chloe would really bond with the little guy. They would also be kept out in most circumstances and play with Max’s Celebi.

Absol can sense impending disasters. I imagine Chloe sought hers out in the wake of William’s accident.

Cloyster because… Well, look at it.

Her Persian’s name is Bongo, after her childhood cat.

Ferrothorn and Roserade are again due to TToT Chloe’s Persephone parentage. Ferrothorn specifically refers to the brambles surrounding her mother’s grove at Camp Half-Blood (thanks to @bulletbilltime for that suggestion among others!)

TToT Rachel is a child of Dionysus, and being there aren’t many Pokemon themed around drinking, I reached for other elements of her character. Solgaleo and Pyroar are due to her assertions of being a proud Leo (don’t call her out on that)

Arcanine and Flareon for the many associations between Rachel’s character and fire. Flareon is kept out while traveling.

Zoroark for canon Rachel’s deception and masking, and TToT Rachel’s skill with illusions.

Gardevoir for her outward poise and grace that she shows to all but those closest to her.

I don’t have much to say about Gideon’s lineup, because Zacian, Aegislash, and Sirfetch’d really just boil down to “swords.” Girl loves her swords.

Steelix and Aggron for some more tough and strong steel types. You could argue they have some swordlike features on them.

Golem because canon Gideon grew up in a hole in the ground (specifically on Pluto but there’s not a Plutonian regional variant of Golem yet so sue me)

Harrow has a partner Cubone that doesn’t battle, both because bones, and she empathizes with mourning a mother you never really knew.

Darkrai for the nightmare element; Harrow is no stranger to frequent nightmares.

Houndstone, Spiritomb, and Cofagrigus for the tomb motifs. Spiritomb is particularly appropriate due to it being an amalgamation of souls.

Duskull is left unevolved because its later forms lose the bone motif.

Banette is formed by feelings of abandonment, which… Yeah.

Frieda, as a daughter of Kronos, gets the other time themed legendary in Dialga.

Corviknight and Bisharp represent her martial skill as a warrior; Bisharp in particular for the twin swords she wields.

Empoleon, Nidoqueen, and Vespiquen are straightforward references to her position as Queen of the demititans. Type wise they mean that she probably has the most varied team of the demititans.

I have even less to say about Hunter’s lineup than I did Gideon’s, because they all boil down to being fighters. He probably uses the humanoids for sparring partners.

Terrakion, Machamp, Hariyama, and Conkledurr are noted for their extreme endurance, a trait he shares as a son of Atlas.

Incineroar and Lucario represent his use of combat magic to supplement his martial skill.

Maya’s team is psychics selected for intelligence to pair with her role as a mage/scholar. She rarely uses them for actual battles; instead they assist with her research.

Mewtwo and Alakazam are noted for their especially robust memories, a trait she shares as a favored daughter of Mnemosyne.

Meowstic and Hatterene pair well with her aloof and asocial temperament. Hatterene in particular helps keep unwanted visitors from disturbing her work.

Malamar for her manipulative side as one of the Queen’s Hands.

Delphox for the part of her that really wants to just burn something to ground every once in a while. (Rachel can relate.)

Pierce’s team took some thought, on account of most star/astronomy themed Pokemon being legendary. Of those, she gets Jirachi, as she’d find them adorable and keep them out in most cases.

Starmie, Minior and Gothitelle continue the star/astronomy theme, owing to her father being Krios, lord of stars and constellations.

Appletun because she’s a hobbyist cook, and makes a mean pie.

Escavalier because she’s a spear fighter, and it’s literally the only pokemon I could find that references any kind of polearm. Yeah I know its arms are lances and not spears but I took what I could get.

Siren has a partner Spheal that doesn’t fight, simply because she doesn’t want him getting hurt. His name is Blubby.

Her full team is water type owing to her father being Oceanus. Kyogre specifically represents the primal power of the deep ocean that is her birthright.

Milotic, Gorebyss, Lapras, and Primarina are chosen for their beauty and elegance, traits she prizes in herself.

Greninja refers to her dexterity and deadly skill with small blades.

I should not have access to a fake tweet creator, and the demititans definitely shouldn’t have access to Twitter

[sunnylucy31]

If Frieda ever ended up in a relationship. Would she strictly be monogamous or would she be cool with polyamory?

[sunnylucy31]

When Max hugs Frieda in chapter 34 of The Tomb of Time, it’s the first hug Frieda has ever received.

Me going to tell my fandom (my Tumblr followers) lore about my oc that will shatter their hearts (I will get 2 notes)

[sunnylucy31]

this sounds a lil goofy, but do you have any color palettes that you associate with your ocs? or colors in general you relate to your ocs?

Not goofy at all! I strongly associate each of them with black, as that tends to be the predominant color in their various outfits. Best to wear dark clothes so as not to draw Olympian attention when away from home. As far as individual colors go:

Frieda: Bronze, silver, and gold, for her swords, armor, and eyes respectively.

Hunter: Dark grays, both for unyielding stone and the clouds upon the shoulders of his father, Atlas.

Maya: Dark purples, electric blues, and acidic green for her various magical and alchemical experiments.

Pierce: Deep indigo for a late-evening sky, and blueish white for the stars in it.

Siren: The rich blue of the open ocean, sea green for the shallows, and a splash of scarlet to match her hair.

[sunnylucy31]

Frieda, commed from the lovely @door-insurance!

[sunnylucy31]

what would everyones morning/breakfast routine be? curious cause I'm making breakfast for dinner and thought about ur ocs.

Hmm, that’s a tricky one. Let me see…

Frieda: While almost all demititans are early risers by habit due to their lifelong training, Frieda would rise even earlier; putting on a queenly face takes some time after all. She’d repeat the routine with almost robotic consistency: a short bath (which can double up as a good cry session), get dressed, braid hair, put on crown. For breakfast she probably only has time for a granola bar or two, if they’re available.

Hunter: Wakes up around the same time as Frieda in case she has any early duties for him. If not, he does a morning workout. While his Atlas blood gives him incredible strength and endurance, exercise is still required to maintain healthy organ function, and to look, as Gideon Nav might say, “fucking shredded.” His breakfast of choice would be a pile of bacon and hardboiled eggs, though supplies rarely permit such indulgence.

Maya: Her morning routine is typically indistinguishable from her night routine on account of how little she sleeps or eats. The Titanic sigil carved into her back constantly draws on energy from the surrounding environment, and while this isn’t enough to fully sustain her on its own, it does mean she requires much less rest and food than the average person. When she does sleep, it tends to be at odd and inconsistent hours, so most mornings the demititan base will awaken to find Maya still working on her projects from the previous night. Her breakfast of choice is whatever can be eaten as quickly as possible; her Memory already contains a myriad of tastes, and it’s incredibly rare that she tries something truly new.

Pierce: Another early riser for the sake of a workout, though she long ago learned not to train with Hunter if she can avoid it. Her morning exercise consists of a run around the perimeter of the base, followed by a breakfast of whatever proteins and carbs are available with current supplies. As a hobbyist cook, she can make passable meals out of the most dour ingredients, a skill her fellow morning people cherish.

Siren: Though she’d be considered an early bird in either of the demigod camps, Siren is a notoriously late riser by the militant standards of the demititans. Who can blame a girl that is oh so cozy in bed, after all? When she finally does drag herself out (groaning and moaning all the way), much of her routine involves haircare. Those immaculate curls don’t just happen, you know! Her breakfast tends to be whatever remains of what Pierce cooked up that morning. (Unbeknownst to Siren, Pierce intentionally sets aside a portion of each dish, even if it means she gets less of her own cooking)

[sunnylucy31]

(This is specifically in the context of my fic, The Tomb of Time. Canon Rachel would be a lot further left. Unfortunately she's being graded on the curve set by her party members lol)

new axes just dropped

[sunnylucy31]

a bit late but for the oc lgbt+ ask meme, 5 for all of them?

Never too late for an ask meme!

5. How did you figure out your oc's identity?

Frieda: So funny story with her, I initially envisioned her as being the “token straight” of my OC batch. Then my girlfriend @the-green-divine whispered in my ear like a little shoulder devil: “But have you considered Frieda/Siren?” And that notion was so compelling that Frieda became bi in my mind. Something about that ship is just so cute to me. I’m physically incapable of not making women sapphic I guess lol.

Hunter: We have here a man that embodies a toxic “macho man” archetype, and intense masculinity of that sort has a tendency to seem homoerotic. I figure, demititans are going to be pretty lax about gender and sexuality stuff, so I may as well lean into the homoeroticism. Thusly Hunter is bi leaning towards men.

Maya: Probably the trickiest one to work out, because every facet of her identity is influenced by her flawless memory. I knew from the start that she would be ace (I imagine she would have sex exactly once to “archive the experience” and then never again), but her romantic leanings took a bit more consideration. I decided that I wanted at least some reciprocation for Pierce’s feelings, and I feel like there’s not enough representation for aspec people that aren’t specifically aroace. So Maya is an ace lesbian :)

Pierce: I have no doubt that making the butch girl trans incenses a very specific type of internet asshole. Well, fuck those people. Some of the best women I know are trans butches. Pierce is an homage to them, and anyone who doesn’t like it can fuck right the hell off. Also she’s a lesbian purely because the instant I had a clear picture of her in my head, I was like, “Yeah this bitch wants to kiss girls so badly,” and no better reason lol.

Siren: One of my oldest OCs concept wise, she emerged almost a decade ago from a joking conversation a friend and I were having about D&D: “Why does the slut have to be a bard? Why can’t we have a slutty rogue instead?” Needless to say, my teenage closeted egg self did not yet have the worldview or sensibilities to do such a concept justice. Good lord, so much internalized misogyny in those early versions of her. I like to believe she’s much better now, the clearest indicator that I’ve grown as both a writer and a person. She’s my favorite bi slut (affectionate). Also she’ll stab you if you say that bi doesn’t include trans people.

[sunnylucy31]

1 for Frieda, Hunter and Pierce? for the oc ask meme 👉👈

1. What's your oc's gender identity? What's their relationship to their gender?

Broadly speaking, demititans are a lot more lax about gender stuff than demigods, having grown up in near isolation from wider society. A good number of them are some flavor of trans or nonbinary, and it’s regarded as a completely normal and unremarkable thing to most of them. (I might be projecting a bit with that…)

That said, Frieda’s relationship with her gender can be described as strained. She would greatly enjoy a chance to explore her femininity if she could, but her role as queen keeps her locked out of most forms of self expression. Can’t have the cause’s symbol of hope seeming too human and fallible, can we?

Hunter, despite not having been exposed to mainstream mortal culture much at all, somehow managed to independently invent being a machismo misogynist. Suffice to say he’s perfectly comfortable being a guy. Maybe that attitude comes prepackaged with the Atlas blood.

Pierce is trans, and waffled around with femme things for a little bit before settling firmly on butch. She’s been comfortable with herself for a while now, helped along by constant affirmation from Siren. She physically transitions by regularly using her demititan powers to invoke the constellation of Virgo.

[sunnylucy31]

@the-green-divine wrote a little thing once where Frieda and Siren kissed. I think about it a lot.

anyone else thinking about their ocs kissing
