🍀Open Starter-Eydis Huldrakin🍀

————

‘Maybe this wasn’t the best idea.’

They thought with a frown after narrowly escaping the blades of a rogue draugr by the skin of their teeth. It was not something they’d ever admit aloud, of course. They thought with a frown after narrowly escaping the blades of a rogue draugr by the skin of their teeth. It was not something they’d ever admit aloud, of course. Not even as they trekked on foot across the Forbidden Sands of Alfheim in search of Twilight Stone, the rare crystalline ore only found in the realm, necessary for the armor project they had been working on for a little over a week now. Eydis knew full well the project technically didn’t need the Twilight Stone, and was more so a decorative element for the piece, but they were stubborn. They wanted to get a few pieces of the damn thing for the armor because it would look pretty. And, hopefully, function similar to how the crystal functioned in the wild, reflecting any potential projectiles.

Was this a smart idea? Not really. Were they really being this reckless? Absolutely. Did they care? Not particularly. In the months following Ragnarök?, Eydis had grown increasingly reckless in their quest to prove their worth as a Huldra Blacksmith, so they could earn the brand fairly. Of course, they hadn’t intended for this trek to be on foot, but they also hadn’t bothered to ask for help to travel across the sands.

As their boots sunk into the desert’s soft Earth, and the grains of sand began rubbing against their orthotic, making the trek slow and a bit painful, they found themself rethinking their recent life decisions. But, even so they trudged onward. They were heading for an outcropping entrance to a cave marked continently on their map where they could safely extract some of the rare ore without disturbing the ecosystem. Suddenly, they hear a sound nearby and tense up, hand immediately unsheathing the sword on their back, looking around wildly.

I stumbled upon this post again

Fai, please stop coming out with these kind of scenarios, they are depressing!!! And of the kind that I eat up!!!!

I would like to know more!

Many- if not all- leo's Sep AU's with Draxum have Draxum being abusive to varying degrees, that it would be interesting to see one with a Draxum who at least tries to love his son and be a good father and still fails.

Leo would be his usual self, wich annoy Draxum, and causes self estem issues, but that's okay, in the end they only have each other and Leo doesn't really have competition, until he does, because his Long Lost missing Brothers show up and it turns out Draxum likes them more, which would be much more mess up because this Leo doesn't really have connections outside of Draxum. It all be complicated and 'll Will eat it with fries.

I mean, I've never really thought out how he'd be raising each of the boys alone, really just all together or just with Donnie. Donnie, I feel like is such a perfect parallel to Draxum that it just makes sense for a separated AU Draxum to get Donnie in the divorce. Like, Splinter and Big Mama, you could make an argument that pairing them up with any of the other three would fit in a unique and interesting way, but Draxum was just meant to have Donnie. (also I love how all separated AUs are like "hokay, obviously three of the parents are Draxum, Big Mama, and Splinter, and the fourth is...fuck, I dunno, the Foot? Hueso?") Not that I don't like other separated AUs where Donnie is raised by someone else, (Little Prince my beloved) but Donatello Draxum is just poetic.

But, going along this line of thinking, with the 'doth Draxum actually raises Galois from a hatchling' fantasy set of events except it's not Donnie he ended up with but another turtle...hmm.

(I'm going to use Donnie and Galois interchangeably for this post deal with it)

Well, for starters, he'd be less protective over the other boys than he is with Gale right now. (honestly, he'd be less protective of Galois too if he'd raised him for sixteen years, but that's for another post) He still would be overprotective, and he'd do the same isolating thing with any of the other boys and hide their existence until he was ready to move forward with his domination plans. Mikey, he would still be more protective of, considering his innate mystical ability surpassing his potential as the warrior he was designed as. Not to the same extent as Donnie though, since most of Mikey's abilities would still require him to be present on the battlefield, verses Donnie who could fulfill his usefulness 100% from an underground bunker.

Raph and Leo, however, were made for war and their greatest talents still lie in combat. If he is to make use of them then there's no way of getting around it, they'll end up on the front lines at some point. Draxum would have to train them to be able to survive that, to fulfill the purposes they were made for-and he would have to steel himself for the very, very real possibility that they may die.

(That's kind of present in his current relationship with Raph, he's aware that this might end with Raph dying from a bullet meant for Gale. And if Raph betrays Draxum, or he's forced to choose between Raph and Galois, he needs to be able to sacrifice Raph without hesitation. He really doesn't want to start seeing Raph as his son and complicate matters-the revolution needs Galois more than it needs Raph or even Draxum, there can be no room for choice between them)

Another thing is that Draxum and Donnie have similar interests, so they'd naturally have a stronger friendship than the other three anyway. He'd still find things to bond over with Mikey and Raph, they're both pretty versatile and easy to get along with. With Leo? Maybe history? Medicine? Like, yes he could impart upon Leo all his medical knowledge, (oh my god, so many dissections would take place in that house) but I feel like Leo's joking nature would make Draxum feel like Leo isn't giving the subject the attention it deserves and it would always end in a screaming match. Not to mention Leo's sense of humor is exactly what irritates Draxum's ego most efficiently.

And then there's the areas Leo actually excels at verses his brothers, namely 1) his charisma and leadership skills, and 2) his strategic mind.

Leo is smart. Doth Draxum is learning to his great displeasure how smart, but a Draxum who raised Leo from birth would know he's smart. And it's not the simple fact that his child can be smarter than The Great Baron Draxum that bothers him, no. Galois is smarter than him in many ways, and Draxum delights in that. He loves having someone he can intellectually spar with, whose arguments actually pose a challenge, and he feels immense pride that his creation is so brilliant he's outpacing his creator.

It wouldn't be the same for Leo. Because while Leo absolutely could outsmart Draxum, (or is getting smart enough that he's getting close) it's in a way he absolutely doesn't understand. When Donnie wins an argument Draxum is practically giddy over it, because what Donnie's saying or doing makes sense. Yes, Draxum didn't think of it first, but now that's he laid out the situation this way he can totally see what he's talking about and wow his son's brilliance takes his breath away, he can't believe this is the same turtle he fed with a bottle and rocked to sleep after a nightmare-who, less than two decades ago, bit his hand, cried, and then bit his other hand to see if that one hurt too.

Leo's brain does not work the same way. When he outsmarts Draxum, he does it in such a convoluted, weird-ass way that Draxum is like "???!!!!!!!?? How????!!!" And this infuriates him. Baron Draxum is one of the world's greatest minds. He's hundreds of years old. He will not be bamboozled by his teenage son working off the seat of his pants!

And it just frustrates him immensely, that Leo can be so smart in a way Draxum absolutely cannot follow. He can accept that he's perceptive and good at talking to people, yes, Draxum knows his social skills are lacking and he's accepted that there's a piece of the puzzle there that most people have and he just lacks-but how in the world can Leo out-strategize him?

Oh yeah, there would absolutely be self-esteem issues when Draxum is mooning over how talented his other sons are, when he gets along with Leo's brothers so much easier than he does with the kid he's raised for over a decade. And Drax probably wouldn't realize it until Huginn and Muninn pointed it out or Leo had a breakdown in front of him. But he would make a point to tell Leo-in his own awkward, roundabout way-how talented he truly was, and he's sorry that he's never been able to understand him.

And since I know you like my bird, an Angel update: along with having to deal with this molt, (he looks scruffy, the casing his feathers have when they come in is super hot and itchy, and he's hungry and tired all the time because growing a bird's worth of feathers is a lot of work!) my sister was home sick yesterday. His sleeping cage is in her bedroom, but she was long asleep by the time he goes to bed. So we just locked him in his downstairs cage, which he pretty much just uses as a playground/eating area. He did a few confused peeps, but then he settled down and went to bed-a very good bird! He was thanked for his compliance and got extra pets today, and was so excited to get his room back. He had to do a full inspection of his cage first, but he's happily snoozing away now. We're very proud of him for not being a dick about it.

Patterns by Kelsea Ballerini Sentence Starters

Change the pronouns and tense as needed for your verses.

I've got patterns

I'm coming apart at the seams

I like the feeling of the feeling that leaves me staring at the ceiling the morning after

Maybe I'm the one to blame for doing the same old same

It's so much deeper than under my skin

Is this a battle that I'll ever win?

When does it start, and when does it end?

Will I outgrow all these patterns?

Will I unknow all these patterns?

You just made the eggs and turned your head

I know you're not impressed with my lack of sticking to the Bible

Maybe we got into a few fights

So I know it took a little tough love to become the woman that you're proud of

My priorities were out of balance

You told me to go but wished I was home

I wouldn't wanna do it with anybody else

Everything that's heavy, I check it at the door, kind of feel like I don't need it anymore

I got some bones of old skeletons from the old house at the dead end

I got baggage, but I'm moving in

We both slept on a mattress with "I love you" people

So I know the weight and gravity of key chains with same keys

if you want that "Welcome" mat, then roll it out with me

Cause home is when you're with me

I like the feeling runnin' with the wind

That's why I went and did what I did

He and I both had our guns to sling, damn, that showdown was embarrassing

I'm still here brushing off a couple things

It doesn't scare or bother you

Never knew I'd have a round two

Take my heart, but take it slow, 'cause this ain't my first rodeo

Love's the wild, wild west, ain't gotta tell me that

Tell me that it's gonna be alright even though we never know if we're gonna make it out alive

When it comes to me and you, I can't not try

I get existential

I get overwhelmed

Got two hundred seventy-something things to reply to

You put on the boots I like for dinner on Friday night

You say they're uncomfortable but you wear 'em anyway

If I went insane and didn't know my name would you stay beside of me, reminding me?

If I gambled away my money, would you back away?

If my jokes weren't funny, would you laugh?

How much do you love me?

Do I sound needy and dramatic?

We said that it was over, what'd you send 'em for?

Two things can be true

I'll love and hate you

I'll be your best and your worst day

I'll be your blessing and curse

Sometimes I'll cut and ghost but sometimes I'll get too close

You're nothing and everything I got to lose

I wish it was that easy when it comes to me and you

No use in diggin' up bones from the grave

When it's over, it's over

I could take a deep dive in the details

I could hide, I could cry 'til I throw up

It's as simple as "We broke up"

I could call my friends and bitch about it

Tale as old as time, I don't gotta wrap my head around it

Another boy driving off mad in a black truck

I have a nasty habit, leaving before I get left

You'll think my light's on yellow when I'm keeping you on "Read"

Stonewall my emotions even when I wanna cry tears as wide as the ocean

One fight, too many 3 A.M.s, I guess we're broken up

You're like, "This is just a conversation, baby, what the fuck?"

Now I'm screaming, "Goodbye," out like it means "I love you"

I'm better on my own

It's all I've ever known

Wait! Don't go!

I'm codependent with my independence through and through

How stupid of me to think you wouldn't listen

so once again, my head and heart are at war

Can I take it back now? Can we make it last?

Feelings ain't the facts, just the patterns of my past

I'd follow you to the moon

You know I'm ride-or-die for you

But if you want a chase, I won't run

I ain't gonna beg for your love

I wanna go the distance, babe

I can't do it if I betray all the way before you work I've done

If you want "Sorry" on my knees, that can't be me

Is this just way too tough?

Are you not strong enough?

God, you're all I want but not like this

It's almost like I don't care if I even know how to swim

You could save me, maybe I could save myself

If lovin' you is an ocean, then I'm in deep

I grew up wishing I could close off the way my dad did

That man never felt a damn thing he didn't wanna feel

I've burned too many miles trying to ride out all the sadness

You can't outdrive pain, someday it's gonna take the wheel

Can't be alone but don't wanna get close to anybody

Don't wanna bare teeth but don't wanna look weak, it's a tough spot

But I'm afraid you'll walk away when the tears start running

I wanna be the one that you're callin' when you're drunk

When you're dropping every ball, I'll be there to pick 'em up

'Cause that's just what you do when you love someone

That's the choice you choose, when you love someone

No conditions, I'd follow you to the moon, no suit

I would, would you?

If somebody does you wrong, baby, hold my beer

Yeah, I'd still die for you then haunt you when I'm dead

I'll think about these nights when we lost count of all the "That's what friends are for"

I gave hell a piece of my mind

It gave me a hit to my pride

But I came out on the other side

This time, last year, the heartbreak was undeniable

Day by day, I became unrecognizable

Makin' my rounds, shootin' my shot

Standin' my ground, pissin' people off

People thinkin' that I've changed used to be my biggest fear

It's gonna be okay

You'll live to see the day when you're gonna say look at me now

Are you safe on the road you chose?

Did you make it home?

I tag all Veilguard spoilers - including images/gifs - as “veilguard spoilers”

howdy im karen

ACTIVITY: I have been getting more new followers than I can keep up with, so I follow back based on interaction. My ask memes are not mutual only. I don’t thread track anymore so I just reply to things I have a muse for.

Note that I do not follow other Solas blogs, including multimuse blogs, and I filter or block them. I do not see any posts from Solas rp blogs. This is not personal - it's to keep my headcanons and portrayal separate without inadvertently incorporating someone else's portrayal/headcanons, and vice versa.

CONTENT: The Dragon Age universe is a dark fantasy rooted in real world themes, including horror, murder, gore, war, assault, systematic oppression, slavery, and fantasy racism. All of these themes will appear on this blog and will generally not be tagged. If something is graphically violent or sensitive, however, I will tag specific triggers with 'cw: word’. I don’t write or reblog smut. Anything of a sexual nature is likely discussion about the lore, and that'll be tagged with the specific trigger.

Less serious but personal preference, the "bald" and "egg" jokes stopped being funny in 2016. I won’t engage with them, unless we're talking Elgar'nan's wig. Somewhat similarly, most muses can't figure out Solas’ identity during Inquisition.

GOD MODDING: Absolutely no godmodding. I won't tolerate it. Threads will be dropped and I'll send you a DM. If you want to fight Trespasser-Veilguard Solas, please refer to this headcanon on his power levels. Short answer: you lose.

LORE: I try to keep as close to canon lore as possible, though I will interpret things my way and deviate where I feel. This blog runs on headcanons, and I'm not claiming them to be law anywhere else but on this blog. Also, the only Word of God here is mine. I do not care what any dev, writer, or blog post said about him.

Note about Solas: This isn’t a gentle portrayal. Solas is a complex character, which is what makes him so much fun to write. He has as many faults as he has redeeming qualities. Low approval Solas is my favorite Solas. As in DAI, Trespasser, and DATV, his personality is prickly, at best. Be prepared for the ugly side of him.

WORLD STATE: Please refer to my verses page. I’m happy to go along with my partner's world state/choices from DAI. Just let me know or have a place I can check so I can respond accordingly. I use a light 'approval' system here - if your choices are things he'd have disapproved of, he'll react to your character in line with that. Rooks start at a default very low approval, unsurprisingly.

That said, while I'm happy to explore people's scenarios for their character, I also ask that it's reciprocal. Too often I've been reduced to just reacting so the other party's muse can grow. Let me grow my muse, too.

CANON CHARACTERS/OCs: I don’t have canon inquisitors, wardens, etc. All are welcome. Any other OCs are welcome, too. I love them. If you’re a multimuse blog, please indicate which muse you’d like a starter or ask for. If you’re not an Inquisitor, I will default to my own romanced Lavellan to the extent the Inquisitor is relevant to our thread.

SHIPPING: I am not ship exclusive but I am highly selective about ships. I will only ship with writers who are 30+ and after a lot of character interaction. We're writing fiction, and I've had too many experiences with people who don't recognize the line. Shipping is chill and not the main focus here. Do not assume any kind of relationship exists (romantic or otherwise) unless we've talked about it first. I do not romantically ship Solas/Mythal or Solas/Rook.

Welcome to a true song of ice and fire... 

This muse is a independent version of Todoroki Shoto following canon events. This blog will be written after the war - more detailed info can be found on my blog!

Mun Name is Lukas, 25+ and I’ve been on this site for god knows how many years. I welcome everyone to interact with my muse, crossovers and OCs included! 

I don’t always follow back but that is just to keep my dash organized, so I don’t get overwhelmed! We can still interact - just read my rules!

I always read the rules of every rp-blog that I follow or that follows me but I do not send in passwords. I will assume, if you follow me, you have read my rules too.

Either ways links are listed below! Feel free to message me any time about anything and if there are any questions for my muse, send them in!

@directorofwulin liked for a starter

The Phoenix had gone forward in time for a god damn reason. Some peace and quiet. It wasn’t enough that during her multiple lifetimes in the mortal world she had spent most of it helping other people and trying to keep the world from ending, her vacation days got ruined as well?

She’d picked the year precisely because it was so far in the future Cultivation as they knew it was long dead, replaced with technology, the ability for anyone to manipulate the world around them. It was a glorious thing really, even if it meant the era that Feng Wu was so versed in had been lost to dust and buried under rocks. It was the perfect getaway.

Right up until she felt something tug inside her, as if her mind blipped out of existence for a moment only to return almost instantly. A single frame drop that alerted her to shenanigans. Whoever it was, better have a damn fucking good reason. It happened again, and then again, each time she pulled herself back, dug in metaphorical heels and refused to move.

The last time someone tried to command her to anything it had ended badly, for everyone involved…maybe that was some justification for being selfish enough to refuse to attend, right up until pain overcame annoyance. She was starting to get a migraine, the metaphorical tug of war was tiring and even the immortal phoenix couldn’t ignore it forever.

It took only a blink of an eye, and felt far longer than that to appear in the clearing. Feng Wu could feel the cool grass under her, a hand reached out to feel it in an attempt to center herself. Though the fact she was ready to stab someone in the face made it more difficult to do.

@cmdrace liked [+] for a deity verse starter.

   He can feel it, the agony of his followers. He stares up at the stars that dot the darkness of his realm. Many blink out, the dreaming minds of his followers going beyond his reach. The dead do not dream, do not have nightmares. They are now beyond his reach and each lost wrenches at his heart. The God of Fear feels himself weaken, feels his power diminish. For a time, he felt unstoppable, powerful. His Harbingers had grown strong again, preaching the wonders of the freedom his emergence would bring.

   They spread fear and hope in equal measure. Telling many of how restricting this world is, how trapped they are and speaking of the great joy that will come when the God of Discord is released to break the chains, to bring his chaotic freedom. This bolstered their numbers and in turn gave him strength. Enough strength that, for a brief time, the dark god felt he could shatter the veil between his Nightmare realm and the realm of mortals. For a moment, he tasted his own freedom, and it was sweet, but alas such joy could not last for this deity.

   The other gods did as they always do. They incited their followers into a holy war. Rising together to combat the threat of his freedom, to destroy his followers and leave him caged. How they all fear him. How they all believe he will destroy all if given the chance. Given the pain and anger swirling within him, perhaps he will. Perhaps one day he will give into his darker nature, and perhaps he will not let his beloved sister stop him.

   He feels another life pass from his grip and golden eyes close, his heart breaking as they burn. He can do nothing, trapped here in the nightmare. He waits for one to summon him, to bring him to the mortal realm, but any he sends the thought to are killed before the chance comes. His effigies and statues destroyed in this conflagration. Again, he is helpless. A god unable to save his followers. How any can continue to believe in him is a surprise.

   Then he feels it, the tug at his heart. A summon that goes through. He turns, the dark smoke of his realm twisting into an obsidian mirror. He doesn’t check the scene beyond, the god desperate to do something, anything for these beings who believe in him, who have earned his love. He steps through, stepping out of an obsidian portal that swirls from the shatter and bloody remains of a small idol crafted in his likeness. When he emerges, he is within a sea of flame.

   The light burns his golden eyes, the once glowing orbs dull with his weakness. The smoke that swirls from the cracks in his grey skin is wispy and less. He is still terrifying, with his obsidian hair and wicked claws, but his presence doesn’t impose as it should. He has experienced too much loss too quickly. He casts his gaze about, despair touching his features when he sees burned corpses among the flames.

   “M-my Lord,” says a weak, raspy voice beside him. “You have come.”

   Gaze drops to the woman adorned in dark robes kneeling in the ash beside him. A priestess and one of his Harbingers. There is soot in her hair and searing on her robe. He kneels beside her, a clawed hand unexpectedly gentle and his voice kind, despite his monstrous appearance.

   “Rest, child, you have earned your place in the Ever Nightmare,” he says, promising an afterlife that doesn’t exist.

   “I … I am sorry, my lord. H-he insisted,” she continues, gaze looking past Law.

   The dark god frowns, his hands moving from the woman. He turns to see a figure standing amongst the destruction. He can feel the fire in him, the power. Another god and the destroyer of this sect of his followers. Rage flashes in Law’s golden eyes. He snarls, bearing pointed obsidian teeth. He may not be as strong as he was, but he will not forgive this destruction so easily.

Deity!verse starter for @pxison for a sibling of your choice!

The town was in ruins. There were bodies everywhere; most clearly died of their wounds, having fought hard against the soldiers that swarmed over the down like locusts. But the emaciated appearance of the bodies made it clear they were already dying. Famine and sickness had hit this town hard. The war had simply ended their misery more quickly. Well, those who hadn’t been captured and carried off in chains to be worked to death as slaves.

The Goddess of Light and Guidance stepped carefully around the corpses, silver dress rippling like light reflecting off of water around her feet. She knew who had been there. This was their work. As much as she loathed to see the aftermath, she knew their jobs were necessary, just like her own brother’s. Mortals (and gods, really) simply couldn’t appreciate the good things in life without the bad. And the gods couldn't exist without the presence of such things in the world. It was a painful but necessary balance to maintain.

That was why Ikkaku worked so hard at her own duties. That was why she was there now. The siblings had done their work. Now it was time for her to do hers.

She stopped before a young boy. Hungry, haunted, but still alive. He appeared to be no older than ten, though his growth was likely stunted from malnourishment. Before him was a little shrine the town must have built, a small effigy of a lighthouse that managed to stay erect despite the chaos and bloodshed. A single candle had been lit within it. A tiny beacon to go along with the boy’s prayer.

He stared up at the goddess, gob smacked, clearly expecting a returning soldier come to slaughter any survivors. And yet he’d prayed to her anyway. Prayed for the Lady of the Light to guide him someplace safe. He’d still had hope.

Ikkaku would always come to those who held onto hope. Would always fight for the mortals who prayed to her. Would guide them whenever they sought her aid.

Crouching down, she offered the boy a warm smile and held out her hand for him to take. “Yes. I’m here. I’m real. And you’re safe with me. I promise.”

Footsteps crunched behind her, and the boy shrank back. Ikkaku’s shoulders stiffened, and the powerful energy she felt told her it was a fellow god. And she had four guesses as to who.

“You’ve done your job,” Ikkaku said, standing up, keeping her body between the other god and the boy. Glancing over her shoulder, her eyes narrowed. Darkness swirled within her irises. She was considered a gentle goddess, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t be wrathful. Especially when someone attempted to challenge her domain. “And you did it well. This boy survived it, and he prayed to me. That means he’s now under my protection. Are you looking to challenge my claim? Because if so, we’re going to have problems.”
