Zayne:

- Twin boys, his precious snowflakes. 🤗

- Both look like you, and he's very happy about that! Older son has your personality, while younger twin has Zaynes.

- Can see him encouraging them to dabble both in STEM and creative fields.

- Spoils them but to a healthy extent. Mainly through quality time. Gifts if he can't be there for a playdate.

- Ideal husband and definitely ideal father, the boys 100% loves him more 😭 .

- Tara usually babysits

Rafayel:

- fraternal twins!!! His precious pearls 🥺

- a good combination of you both! Has his hair color and eyes while everything else came from you

- loves both of them, but his younger daughter is definitely daddy's girl. While older son is mommy's boy

- dramatic af like him. Never a quiet household. I dun know if you're lucky or in a need of a vacation

- eager to find out if they're half human and half mermaid

- Thomas the babysitter

- has a whole art gallery show full of paintings of you and the babies

- spoiled brats just like the dad

Sylus:

- A GIRL! His new kitten 🥰 literally

- his white hair and your eyes

- spoiled spoiled spoiled spoiled

- DADDYS PRINCESS (you're his queen now dw, kitten) can't sing

- does whatever she wants to whoever she wants cuz her daddy can fight

- Mephisto, Luke and Kieran becomes her babysitters (the twins wish he had twins)

- you love how attentive of a dad he is, but lowkey get jealous cuz all that used to be just for you :( but daddy always makes it up :)

- made it clear she's marrying Sylus when she grows up

- into guns

- "sweetie what do you have there?"

- "a gun :D"

- "NO!"

Mw3 spoilers (just a long personal ramble)

Hiii. So

As soon as the pre-release came out on, I hunted down spoilers, because I know myself and knew that if someone died and I got that information out of the blue, I wouldn’t take it well. Jokes on me, because I still haven’t been taking it well lol

I won’t talk about how Soap’s death was handled or the quality of the game. Plenty of smarter people are doing so.

I try not to talk a lot about myself and irl stuff on here, but will just say: I am very unwell, mentally. (Cue silence because that’s not surprising at all) Something I am very aware that I do, is that I latch onto fiction with my whole being, usually one specific character. For some reason, I always latch onto the character that ends up dead, usually in a way that make them only exist to further the motivations of other characters. It sucks.

So my hope for Soap has never been great, but for some reason I was still so shocked?? I don’t know, I tricked myself into thinking this time was different. Such an iconic character with so much good setup for great character development. I knew someone would die, but ow. To me, he was the element that made 141 seem more like family than coworkers. Soap’s interactions with the rest just livened up the games so much and made them all shine. Especially Ghost. Their dynamic, man.

Soap was the character that intrigued me enough to jump into the cod rabbit hole. It feels very hollow without him.

I keep telling myself that it’s silly to be so hurt over something fictional, and that I can just treat it as a mcd fanfic and move on, but nope. Brain’s stuck in the bad stuff. It’s a bad habit of mine to let something like this affect me so much, but well. Logic vs feeling and all that.

I really did find so much comfort in Soap this last year, that I severely needed. It feels a little like losing someone I know, someone who helped me through a rough time. I related to something in him and felt inspired. I only started writing after getting into ghostsoap, I started working out and I got back into art after a very long burnout. It may be fiction, but the impact is not.

So that was pretty much the worst case scenario of what mw3 could be to me. I always knew the risk, but, once again, ow. But there also seems to be plenty of good stuff in the game that I enjoy. I’m happy with the Ghost and Soap dialogue, the whole team working together and seeing Laswell and Farah and Alex and Nik. I hope I can be inspired by some of the new content once I’m calmer.

And I was worried they would ignore Ghost and Soap’s relationship after their development in mw2, but they genuinely seem to have gotten real close. It’s nice. I thought the shipping might scare the game devs into never having them appear in a scene together again, so that’s a plus.

Bottom line to all this is: I probably need a little break to get my head sorted. The grief is surprisingly real, it’s triggered some old stuff for me (haven’t been sleeping or eating, been stuck in some old thoughts). I’ll need to calm down and become a bit more normal about this again. Part of the grief isn’t so much about Soap himself, but also just the safe space that this account has been. The very nature of how the fandom is going to interact with Soap and Ghostsoap is going to change now, and man… I liked how it was, y’know? Could’ve used a little longer in that bubble. There’s going to be plenty of new fics and art, lovely stuff as always, but many of them will be tinged with grief, and I’m not in a place where that won’t break me a little.

I will hopefully come back to posting and making stuff once my brain settles down. I have so many drafts for fics and ideas that I hope I can return to. I’ve gotten so used to drawing these lads that I doubt I can stop tbh

The version of Soap that we love is already evolved from the games due to all the time and care the community has put into the character. The games may have killed him, but luckily, he’s fictional. We can do what we want, same as before.

I’m not even saying that I wish they hadn’t killed him. The games are crafting a story that fits their audience. It makes sense.

But I will choose to live in one of the many universes we’ve created for Soap, where he is alive and cared for, with a found family and a spooky lieutenant with a soft spot for him. Good for him.

Hope you’re all taking care of yourselves. RIP canon Soap (again). Thanks to Neil for a wonderful portrayal. And no matter where we go from here, thanks for a wonderful year of creating with you lovely folks. Seriously, some of the kindest people I’ve met in fandom. <3

Lastly: fuck you Kevin O’Reilly, but more importantly, sincerely thank you. (CallMeKevin video about mw2 got me into this mess. Otherwise I was keeping cod at an arm’s length, but he’s my fav youtuber, so I watched it. And here we are!)

[somer-writes]

aw yiss its time for another somers dodecannual monthly beatdown! (which is not dodecannual bc ive done jack shit since like. february. teehee.)

JUNE 👏 WORD 👏 COUNT 👏: 61,906 WORDS TO Ao3

CURRENT 👏 WORD 👏 COUNT 👏: 789,839 WORDS ON Ao3

actually insanity holy molies lets see if i can hit that 1mil by the end of the year @^@

WORKS (new/continued in June): 26 BABY!!!

this is bc of @juneofdoom which i used to push through a writer's block so bad we can dub it a writer's lego. i think it's such a block that j-lo grew up on it actually. so ty for the wonderful amazing prompts <3 all of these works can be found in Writer's Execution Block!

MOST POPULAR: WINTER'S CHILL

MY RECOMMENDATION: A MEANS OF SELF-DEFENSE (reader discretion advised!!)

IN REVIEW: look man im just happy i wrote anything i have a shred of affection for, let alone so many top fucking bangers ok. i got to make twi lose his mind SO MUCH this month. AND i got to make him and wars beat each other up for fun <3 i think i whumped all the lads at least a little this month, if not physically, then emotionally. it comes from a place of love i promise. also since february we've surpassed 2500 comments. sometimes 10-20 at a time from new people having the misfortune of discovering my work.

also the founding of the ghost hunting au A Haunting in Hyrule and the foster family au The Home We Make!

next major goal is that nice 200 works milestone :D i wont do anything special probably. but its cool anyway. i think.

alexa is it cool to write that much fanfiction is that what the kids like these days

ALSO ALSO ALSO!!!! june 30 (in my timezone) saw the first public-ish LU Write-a-Thon which is the insane brain child of @hotcheetohatredwastaken and @not-freyja. 24 hours of writing madness and fandom shenanigans. thank you as well to @noorahqar and @a-manicured-lawn and @winterfen for modding <3 it was not a small undertaking and we are blessed to have you lovely escapees in the fandom <3

ty as always to @hotcheetohatredwastaken @needfantasticstories @estelian-01 and my lovely partner @wanderlustmagician for beta-ing <3

hopefully A Breeze From the South will return this month and i miiiiight get around to finishing out Signs & Symptoms but who tf knows honestly i learned not to trust my plans

[helenkordart]

This was a bit of an insane project! I decided to draw all the designs from the various official arts we have gotten over the years. A bit of an archiving project! I tried to make them as accurate as possible. It involved a lot of guesswork tho, since most of them don′t show the full designs. Let′s just say that only 5 of these (and I mean five figures, not design sets lmao) show any kinds of shoes.

I do love seeing the design elements that carry over between the designs tho. Ququ is a cold boy and has to have some kind of fur or a scarf. Feng-er doesn′t want a speck of dirt to touch him and prefers high collars and bracers and high boots (the boots ARE book canon tho). I also love that there′s only three designs that have Ququ wear some kind of crown, the rest is just ribbons or nothing at all, despite the jade crown being mentioned at least once. Like no, we want the boy to be cozy and prevent headaches...!

Please tell me which designs are your favourite! Mine is the official manhua design, mostly because it′s honestly such a smart design, especially Ququ. Like you can tell the artist looked at Ququ and his specific disabilities and worked from there. Besides the hair ribbon, my favourite small detail is the arm warmers that look like compression gloves used for arthritis 🥹 That one means so much to me. Also the difference in layers between Ququ (I′m cold) and Feng-er (ew no dirt touch me ew). It′s just. So nice 🥹♥️

If you want the corresponding official arts, I′ve posted them in the thread on twitter! Anyway here′s which is which with more commentary lmao sorry I cannot shut up about these so much thought actually went into making them and this is the only place where I can actually talk about them properly 🥹

The designs from the first discontinued manhua- Some people in the fandom prefer these because they say they feel more adult but no, sorry, sure the art skill might be better but they just. Don′t feel like Fengcuis to me. Like I would′ve learned to love them but I′d never exchange them for the main ones we got. Plus the character designs changed between all the panels, so trying to chase down a specific design was hell. I′m glad Ququ showed up only in one panel so I didn′t have to do that again lmaoo

The designs from the official manhua- I already explained above why I love them so much. Just. These are THE designs for me. I see these little guys and my heart goes doki doki. If (when) I make lil standees, I′ll very probably use these

The designs from my favourite of the manhua covers- you don′t understandddddddddddddddddddddddddd I love this cover so much. To say I′m insane about it is an understatement. Just. Look at the cover art. Feng-er staring directly into the camera, challenging. Ququ looking soooo kissable. Their entwined fingers. Ququ wearing a jade bracelet in the colours of Feng-er′s robes. I′m just. Vrrrrrrr bark bark BARK. Also had to make MORE patterns for this one. Still not sure I did it proper justice tho 🥹

The manhua-canon modern au outfits- I still can′t believe we got a canon modern au where singer-spy Feng-er kidnaps doctor Ququ on a mission-date and has him hold a silly baloon all day and wear a cute little cap with a silly little cockatoo on it and then they wish each other a happy new year during a sunset on top of the ferris wheel AND I′M SUPPOSED TO BE NORMAL ABOUT IT???????????? Anyway Ququ in his tweed collection is so cute. Mwah. Best boy. Feng-er come on tug on his scarf and kiss him. Do it. Now

Designs from the covers of the traditional edition- these designs are pretty unique while still feeling in character, which is cool! Ququ is such a fancy lil lad here. And I′m obsessed with his... frog? Mousie? Front clasp. I made it a little fox because of course I did

Design from the 1st cover of the simplified edition- I don′t have that much to say about these honestly except that they′re very pretty. I love that Feng-er′s top robe is sheer and I love the silver embroidery, even if it took me some time to figure out how tf to draw it

Design from the 2st cover (Ququ) and 3rd cover (Feng-er) of the simplified edition- that Ququ design drives me crazy. He looks so soft and cozy, you wouldn′t guess that this is the meanest most repressed bitchiest man in all of ye olde Sui dynasty. I want to squeeze him. Cute agression overload. Meanwhile I couldn′t figure out what Feng-er′s belt and hem was doing pattern wise so I just winged it lol.

Fengcuis cosplaying a married couple with designs from the Thai vol. 1+2 freebie- God. Funniest arc in the entire book. They′re insane. They′re perfect for each other. Peerlessly matched. One day I′ll draw more of unhinged wife Feng-er because seriously. Their idea of heterosexual marriage is SO funny. They′re so real for that. And the og chibi designs are SO cute. Ququ′s sweaty little face. This was your idea gay boy, suffer

Audio drama designs from first half of season 1- These are so funny bcs the difference of the designs is like. Main covers: beautiful and ethereal. Minisode covers: Ququ is A Tube with a head on top. Slappy fights. Beautiful. No notes. TubeQu is a god′s perfect creature

Audio drama designs from second half of season 1- I said it before but these just feel too generic to be properly them. While drawing them they did kinda grow on me, at least Feng-er, since his expression is kinda perfectly smug. Im still ehhh on the Ququ tho. He′d look better without the crown.

Designs from Thai covers 1+2- oh man lol the thai covers. I was joking that I could not save the Feng-er, but he did grow on me. It might be that he looks proper manic with the chibi base I drew 😂 But he′d look so much cuter with bangs. Idk why the artist did him like this. Meanwhile Ququ is the most beautiful man alive. I mean it′s what he deserves, but it′s still very funny. Also LOVE how big and fluffy his collar is.

Designs from Thai cover 3- besides my other issues with the thai design, the colours on Feng-er just clash lmao I′m sorry, again why did the thai artist have to do him like this 😂 meanwhile the coat on Ququ is not a colour I′ve ever seen him in, but yknow what it works surprisingly well. He continues to be the most beautiful man around. Sorry king is that horrible peacock bothering you

[sjofn-lofnsdottr]

— B A S I C S

Name: Bellinor Lanverlais

Nicknames: Dusk, which is the name he goes by in almost all circumstances. The vast majority of people don't know his actual first name.

Age: 39, I'll tick him over to 40 when Dawntrail starts. Happy birthday?

Nameday: 21st Sun of the Second Umbral Moon

Race: Elezen, Wildwoodishgardian

Gender: Dude

Orientation: Pansexual, polyamorous

Profession: Gunbreaker, will still do DRK and DRG things occasionally. Also a carpenter.

— P H Y S I C A L A S P E C T S

Hair: Blondie blond blond with some white highlights that he doesn't want to think about but luckily blend in pretty well. He also has a beard. He will never shave it.

Eyes: Dark Green

Skin: Light skinned, but does look like he goes into the sun occasionally. He promises he goes into the sun occasionally.

Tattoos/scars: Nope!

— F A M I L Y

Parents: Extremely alive. His father is named Bernon, and he was a pikeman in the Ishgardian military until he and his wife deserted left, and he is currently a maverick Wood Wailer who should probably hand in his badge. His mother is named Gwenolie, she was a chirugeon in Ishgard, which is how she met Bernon in the first place. She retired completely upon reaching Gridania ... as far as Gridania knows, at least.

Siblings: His twin sister, Orianne. Her nickname, of course, is Dawn. She's a botanist most of the time, unless she feels like the Scions are not doing a good enough job keeping an eye on her brother. Then she's a lancer who recently picked up reaper, since it's hard to feel like you're pulling your weight when your brother and his boyfriend bro are both extra special dragoons, you know?

Grandparents: ALSO VERY ALIVE, although they're all getting on in years. Gwenolie's parents are Lionnet and Aurelle Tirauland. Lionnet is a (mostly) retired chocobo trainer, Aurelle is a retired knight. Bernon's parents are Ciceroix and Iliette Lanverlais. Ciceroix was also a pikeman in the military (now retired) and Iliette is a retired archer.

In-laws and Other: It's kinda funny this asks for in-laws but not ... partners? Farron is Dusk's almost-husband, which makes Farron's semi-adopted dad, Bjalla, Dusk's almost-father-in-law. Farron also has two kids, twins, named Sverre and Kara, who seem keen to adopt Dusk. The twins live on the First. It's a whole thing. And Estinien is ... <waves hand vaguely>.

Pets: Dusk and Farron are currently raising two amaro babies, which probably count. Their names are Eo Lad and Sul Lad, and they're adorable. There's also Duck, of course, but he's not a pet.

— S K I L L S

Abilities: He has an excellent memory for names and visuals. He is an excellent carpenter. He's also usually pretty good in social situations.

Hobbies: He enjoys woodworking, playing piano or cello, or painting when it's Hobby Time.

— T R A I T S

Most Positive Traits: Kind, determined, resilient.

Most Negative Traits: Sore loser, has a very difficult time telling concise stories, tends to hide when he's Not Alright from most people.

— L I K E S

Colors: Greens and blues.

Smells: Sawdust, and the way super cold, crisp air smells.

Textures: I have never thought about this question, and I do not intend to start. He probably likes when he runs a hand over something he's sanded and it feels perfect, though. Does that count?

Drinks: Likes finding new teas to try. Also a closet wine snob.

— O T H E R D E T A I L S

Smokes: Not tobacco! :D

Drinks: As mentioned, he is into wine. He usually stops drinking once he feels himself getting tipsy, but ... not always.

Drugs: don't worry about it

Mount Issuance: His chocobo Pike, of course. He also has an amber draught chocobo named Lance.

Been Arrested: Uhhh unless that one time in Ul'dah counts, nope!

I was tagged by @alixennial, thank you! I don't want to tag every single FFXIV mutual I have, so uh ... if you're one of them, do the thing if you want. :P

FFXIV Write Day 1: Steer

It's that time of year again! :D Estinien watches Agi steer the ship that is taking them to Tural. SFW.

“You sure you can steer this thing?” Estinien whispered into Agnes’s ear. Esme was chasing the twins on deck, while Krile, Erenville, and Wuk Lamat were fawning over Hamignant.

Lad loves the attention.

His wife snorted. “Estinien, really! I grew up by the sea---of course I know how to steer!” She turned her head to place a gentle kiss on Marcelin’s head (this one’s napping and wrapped against me) and then focused ahead. “Docking is another story though.”

The captain of the ship shook his head and groaned. “Alright, Mistress Varlineau. You’ve had your fun.”

Estinien watched his wife giggle adorably as she relinquished control of the ship and thanked him profusely for indulging her.

Agi, you charm everyone you meet. Thought you knew that by now.

Then again…

“Oh, that was amazing!” She grinned, kissing first the sleeping infant’s head again and then ME!!! “Did I do a good job, love?”

Should I tease or—

Definitely tease.

As he gently rocked Marcelin, he answered with a wink. “We’ve not crashed upon the rocks, so aye, you did.”

There she is pretending to be mad, but I see that blush madam.

They were interrupted by a squealing Esme running into her mother’s leg, Alisaie and Alphinaud close behind.

Alisaie rolled her eyes. “Estinien, Agi would never lead us astray in any capacity!”

“Quite right!” Agnes laughed, lifting Esme and peppering her cute little face with kisses. “Mummy’s good enough to not sink the boat. Isn’t that wonderful, my little love?”

If only you weren’t dead to the world, Marc.

You’d see your mother as confident and happy as I’ve ever seen her.

Flowers in her hair. A smile on her face. A new adventure on the horizon with friends old and new.

I wonder what awaits us in Tural, my son…

Lagoon is born - Dinotrux fanfic thing i came up with

This isnt in New Dawn as Lagoon is 16 when New Dawn takes place. Lagoon is the first young of the group, she's the first child that was ever born within Team Dinotrux, as D Structs' and Claires daughter. I wrote this randomly bc i wanted to. So here ye go lads :)

What was this feeling? Looking at her egg, for the first time ever since 8 years, Claire had turned off her thoughts. For the first time in 8 years, she felt peace. D Structs was standing beside her, holding her hand. "You did so good," he whispered. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, i am fine, thank you, honey." Claire nuzzled D Structs softly. The last she thought she would become was a mother. Revvit was walking around the egg. Claire saw D Structs's eyes fixated on the reptool, following Revvits every move around the egg.

"Maybe he feels the same as me."

Claire sighed. Ty was completely silent. So was Dozer. And Ton Ton. Even Skya. Everyone shook a little from a little yelp from Revvit.

"Its cracking!" He whispered. He ran to Ty, jumping on his treadmill, next to Skrap itt. Ty didnt flinch. He stared at the egg, but not in a lifeless or bored sense, or like he was about to attack. Rather with a look of curiosity, like he wondered what would come out. Skya bent her neck to look better, Dozer slighty turned his head to the side, with soft eyes, also looking interested. Ton Ton stared with an open mouth, like he was witnessing a world wonder. Revvit looked over to Skrap Itt. He looked rather tense. He felt the pressure was on. His claws were holding onto Ty's treadmill. Revvit saw how the egg started moving.

"Everyone back up, the young needs to see Claire and D Structs first," Revvit said. As the trux drove a bit backward, Dozer mumbled: "I think i know why."

The egg wobbled, then tumbled on its side, making the upper side of it crack loose and fall off. A tiny trux drove out, with mini white lights shining out of its eyes. It looked a lot like D Structs.

Claire went over to her child to take a look. "We have a girl!" She said excitedly, wich caught the baby's attention. She looked over to her mom, sniffling her face. Claire did the same thing.

D Structs was watching. Ty saw something shining in the bottom of his eyes. He had never seen D Structs this calm before. He had his arms folded, with something shining in the bottom of his eyes. Tears.

"Come here," Claire whispered to D Structs. "Somebody's eager to meet her dad."

D Structs carefully drove up to her and ducked his head, letting his daughter sniffle his face. He clamped his eyes shut when she rested her little head on his huge head. Ty saw a little drip of water leak out of his eye.

"That..." Dozer broke the silence. "I never would have expected to see." He received a light kick from Skya.

Ty slowly drove up to D Structs, who had tilted his head and was watching his daugther nibbling on her egg shell and taking it apart, sharpening her teeth on it. Ty put his hand on D Structs' shoulder.

"Hey."

D Structs turned around, then frantically wiped his cheek and shook his head. "Yes?"

"Congratulations," Ty said. "Your daughter looks beautiful."

"Thank you." D Structs smiled softly, then turned his head around, putting his fist on his mouth. Ty heard him sob lightly. He let go of D Structs, because that sob didnt sound like D Structs wanted Ty to hear it.

"What a wonderful result of pure love," they heard all of a sudden. George and Garby came driving up to the cave.

"George! Garby!" Ton Ton said happily. "Guess what, D Structs just totally cried in front of all of us!"

"Shut up, Ankylodump," D Structs hissed.

"Whut? Who cried in front who?" Garby said with a slightly mocking voice, looking at D Structs.

"Crying is not a sign of weakness, my friends." George drove up to the baby. "In this case, i think its a sign of happiness."

D Structs rolled his tear drenched eyes. "If you say so."

George looked him softly in the eyes. "Your daughter is beautiful, my friend. Raise her well." He bowed slightly.

D Structs smiled and slowly nodded. Ty drove up to him again. "How do you feel?"

D Structs was still smiling, looking at his daughter driving up to the trux, meeting them with Claire behind her. "I'm happy."

"Whats her name gonna be?" Ton Ton suddenly asked.

"Quick! Think of one before Ton Ton does!" Dozer jokingly said to Claire, who started laughing. "Well, whats a good name for a girl?"

D Structs took a good look at his daughter. He liked how she had blue flowy patterns and markings on her chin, shoulders and treadmills. It reminded him of flowy water. Something in her was so energetic and lively, but at the same time she seemed very calm.

"River, maybe?" Claire asked. "Because of the blue?"

"What about..." D Structs said. "Lagoon?"

Claire put up her eyebrow, but she didnt seem like she didnt like it. "Lagoon?"

"Yes, i think it kind of suits her." D Structs gave his daughter a soft nuzzle.

Claire chuckled. "Lagoon. I like that. Lagoon."

Ty ducked and let Lagoon sniff his face. "Wow, those patterns, it looks so beautiful on her!" he said praisingly to Claire. "Who'se a pretty girl?" He said while gently nuzzling Lagoon. "Youre a pretty girl!"

"Thank the stars, i almost thought you meant Skya," Dozer jokingly commented, receiving an instant kick from the Craneosaur.

Ty rolled his eyes. Ton Ton came closer too. "Aw, look how tiny she is! How is this mini ever gonna be as big as you dudes?" He asked while looking around to the adult T Truxes in this cave. "And how did you dudes ever fit in that?" He said while looking at Lagoons egg shells.

Revvit and Skrap itt looked at each other from Ty's treadmill.

"Revvit?"

"Yes?"

"Do you see those thingies on her treadmills?"

"Her treadmills?" Revvit replied while jumping off and looking at Lagoons treadmills. His mouth fell open. "She is multi - treaded!"

"What?" Claire said. "Multi, tre- how?"

"Just like D Stroy, she is multitreaded!" Revvit took a close look.

"Mutation runs in our family." D Structs looked at Lagoons treadmills. "I don't have any mutation, but my brothers both do. How did she.."

"What a wonder," George chanted.

"Genetics are so confusing," Skrap itt murmured.

"What is multitreaded?" Garby asked, visibly confused.

"It meant a trux has thicker, larger treadmills, wich makes it easier for them to drive on rough, hot or cold ground," Revvit explained. "Basically an extra layer of protection."

"Aw, why do we not have that?" Ty said, seemingly bummed.

"Its extremely rare," Revvit said. "It only occurs on two - treaded - trux, like T Trux. Its a genetic mutation. And it runs in D Structs' family, so chances are, if Lagoon ever gets offspring, her youngs will have a form of this mutation too."

"Slow down there Rev, she has to become a teen first," Claire smiled. Then she stopped smiling and stood up straight. "Oh drilling dread, she will become a teen.." she said with a shuddering voice.

D Structs laughed. "Don't worry about her being a teen! I can deal with it... hopefully."

Requestober 2024 Sketches

The playlist is...well, it will be posting very soon! Keep an eye out for your req(s) every Wednesday and/or Friday after the 6th (I think?), pretty sure I got ‘em all >:3c

Doing the full season this time around! The entire mixed bag o’ candy haha

Day 1 had my beautiful boys!! ♥ I’m so happy that Yanderapy took the lead this year ah! It’s too bad I’m so out of practice with them haha, unconfident lines, but the idea was solidly in place from the word go - this was really the only image that came to mind for them, their weird dynamic hehe <3 Made for each other! I am glad their expressions came together so well in the final version, though I didn’t get to show Micchan kneeling! That’s alright tho ♪ Cute enough here hehe

Day 2 got a lot of notes! Kabu’s clothing design is So complex lol, just toss him behind Larry who’s like second nature to draw, suits are so so simple in comparison haha ♪ Still only ended up hiding bits of him! He did end up with his shoe on the outside of Larry’s, boxing him in that little bit <3 And look! His smirk!! As well as the “hiragana” on his sleeves while I was still under the impression that it was text and not Flame Texture lol

And yes, as you can see, I ended up going with the alt doodle, they got more! I was quite tempted by Larry holding Kabu since he’s so tiny lol, but that would’ve required drawing his details! No! Hide him!! The pose is fun and silly and cute tho haha, very plush-coded ♪ And then also a little smech for funsies <3 Just to follow up their staring-at-each-other-in-a-gay-way they ended up with ♥ Rather a fan of Kabu’s hands pulling Larry in :)

Day 3′s was such a pose change!!! Mostly for Edgar, though he’s still kneeling here, inexplicably haha - the angle changed for the final version, and both of their head angles and just, ah, nothing more than a general outline of what I was going for. I’m pleased with both tho! I think the final is much more clear and readable, but there’s always a bit of fun with Edgar looking down/Scriabin looking up haha. I suppose it’s more appropriate than an angel would be looking down on a devil, isn’t it? Haha

Day 4 was another easy one at least, the pose immediately came to mind to show off Nny’s clothes on an even ganglier, thinner frame haha. Like I said, I really tried for more fullbodies this year, so I had to give the tiny version a proper swing on-page! Ran out of room for the larger one, but I really wanted to draw him holding his shoe with his hand haha. You can see the goopmonster on his shirt here too! :D I think his annoyed face is quite cute hehe <3

Day 5 was practically a freebie, and I took absolute full advantage hehehe ♪ If I get the prompt of “soft” of course I’m going to opt for plushies! I’m back in my Webkinz era, and Tala is big big big on Webkinz as well :) And her being a plushie has something of an impact there too lol, but it was really fun to look over all my little guys! I ended up having an extra handful of thoughts about all of them so they’ll be getting their own post(s) :D Good too, since I didn’t talk much about Embroidery’s closet cosplay haha

Day 6 was actually a bit of a question mark for me at first! :0 Not as though I don’t love when Edgar has to clean up Scriabin’s self-inflicted problems haha, I just wasn’t sure what it should be! Making it seasonal helped a bit there - lots of sticker burrs around here when we go walking haha. The bonus ended up being a digital-only, but it was a good motivator to finish these, and then the full poses came to mind - I’m not sure why I was more excited to work on full body poses, but I really was! Maybe the success of meeting my self-imposed challenge haha

I ended up scrapping the alt since it reminded me a little too much of one of the ‘22 reqs - trying to keep things fairly fresh! It was also a little too cartoony haha, where would Edgar suddenly pull such strength from! This doesn’t look like a dream! At least it wouldn’t have been a nightmare of Scriabin being hurt :’) Rescue!

Day 7 was another insta-idea! Really going back and forth on those lol, it sprouted into my head fully formed! This was actually one of a couple I wrote down as I was away from my notebook while brainstorming, so it came back as a mini script; one of more dialogue-heavy ones! Chicken or egg, I wonder, hmm. I always draw Smoker with her sleeves up even though she usually wears them down haha, I dunno. Had a heck of a time with Angie’s hair! I tend to make hair super super fluffy but hers is long and straight and presumably weighs itself down! Doesn’t floof! You’d think having heavy hair myself would incline me towards knowing anything about it but nope lol

Little bouncy concepts haha, and poor Mousey so jealous in the middle, surrounded with them having the most fun!

Day 8 was fairly simple with such a focused ask of them eating Specific Food - can do! Chibis just felt right for such a cute food haha. Would Edgar have a crepe pan, I wonder... I suppose a lot of it comes down to the batter, I haven’t made crepes in such a long time so I wouldn’t know anymore haha

Day 9 featured the slouchy throne! You can see I like the little leggies haha, I did make it a touch more proportional in the final version but who can resist the sillies! Had to draw it and Mettaton separately so I could easily see their silhouettes, I think it all came together in the end fairly well :) Had one heck of a time getting the bottom of his shoes to play nice, but I’m proud of how it turned out!!

Day 10′s, who can resist skelehugs ♥ No I! Not me!! The original had them a lot more upright, I’m glad I went with my note of leaning them back a bit more. Also had Papyrus’ legs on either side of Sans, protective <3 I do like both, but I think they look a bit more reasonably comfortable in the final version, figuring out contact points with one of Papyrus’ legs all the way to one side was too much haha. No boots on the couch! I think they look a bit younger in the final version too, maybe from their eyebrow expressions? Interesting how such small changes can make a big difference ♪

Day 11 was originally going to feature a bunch more Pokemon!! Several of my pink-and-purple faves all gathered around MewTwo <3 Flaafy and Musharna and Sableye my beloved 💜 And of course Whismur!! Can’t but Whismur all the time haha, but in the end I opted to go for the simpler(?) option of just the two ‘mons interacting

Whismur is so spooked by you, even lying down!! Even tho I drew it so I can see it right in front of me, I just can’t imagine MewTwo lying down to investigate haha. More posing changes! Lot of ‘em this year. Pls to quiet, cats have very sensitive hearing, you don’t need to shout

Day 12 started off with probably the Correct Amount of confusion lol, considering even @cutiebetutie​ didn’t expect this to be the matchup lolol, still deeply hilarious to me. But hey, what was I going to do, question a crackship?? Do I look like the kind of person who would say no to exploring some possibilities? Of course I had to give them a scope lol

Haha, “Alt” in quotes as I knew this would actually be the full version, the handholding is cute but where’s the dynamic! There is something there after all! I think so anyway, some tiny tiny sliver that they could start from, and what more foot in the door do you really need? If Nny’s on his charm that drew Devi in, I don’t see why someone a little more airheaded like Jake couldn’t be beguiled haha, if he lasts long enough for that ♪ It’s very tense! I wish him well, I wonder if he could protect himself... Just cut and run, Jake!! Makes for an interesting suspense, that’s for sure haha

Day 13‘s kigurumis!!! Yay!!!! Smol and I successfully wore ours for Halloween this year, we’re them fr fr haha, definitely one of my favourites from this season <3 <3 They’re so cute! Biggest change from here to there is probably where the legs start/end haha, kigurumi have funny little legs hehe. And also Papyrus’ gloves! Sans ended up without any, I can’t resist a hand plate here or there ♪ Also him closing his one good eye to pun about was an accident until it wasn’t haha, just another excuse to do a touch of rereading :3

Day 14‘s turned out so good for how cramped the sketch was!!! Gaster’s hardly there at all! Which is appropriate in its own way haha, filling in the rest of his details was pretty fun tho :) Papyrus looks a lot more desperate in this version which I do like, but him openly enjoying himself is very sweet, who could deny him that <3 Quite pleased with how his arm and hand posing came together in the end as well, fairly minor changes but I think it all flows together much nicer :D

Day 15′s word bubbles turned out way cleaner in the sketch than the final version?? Calls for more practice I suppose; it is asymmetrical, but it does look nice! Maybe needed more colour swatches haha, more and more rows! Edgar’s unimpressed look in the final version is quite good I think but there’s almost a kind of urgency with no eyes behind blank glasses hmm, they both have their merits! I applaud everyone who caught Scriabin holding the bi flag as his swatches! :D Good eye!

Day 16 began The Sleepies lol, I was a bit tired while doodling the first go and it uhm. Well. I mean. You can see lol. S’a bit goofy haha

The alt was much much better! I did end up leaving out the grass which I’m a Little disappointed about - feels too manicured, too sterile in the final version! But I really couldn’t figure a way of adding a bit of visual noise that wouldn’t look flat as well! Minecraft, eh, lol. I am quite pleased with how round Moomin turned out tho :D He looks like a marshmallow in the final version! Yay!

I actually doodled Day 17′s concept before 16 since it came to me so strongly - I do kind of like how much more upright Mob is here, him being as hunched over as he is in the final version adds to the moodiness of the piece I feel. He really is such a good boy! I don’t wish him dark and upsettings!

Day 18‘s didn’t get a paper sketch as I was verrryyyyy tired and had no energy to scan, so skipped the step that would make scanning necessary haha. For all that, I do rather like the digital sketch tho! I think Snufkin’s left leg is a bit better proportioned, and his expression is maybe a bit cheekier? Moomin’s perfect, no notes haha. I also ended up really liking their tail expressions, how Snuf’s is kind of straight and flat while Moomin’s is very roundy hehe <3

I know I said Day 20 doesn’t count but I mean, it’s on the same page! It got the “Day 20″ label! Sketch can go here why not haha. Happy belated Ace Week! I thought it was fun to put a bunch of pink lovehearts around the big central ace heart for me specifically hehe 💜💗

I mentioned in the tags that Day 26‘s original concept was too big to try to do all at once and ahhhh I wish I’d been able to swing it!! I wish I’d been able to do the whole thing!!!! I love scenes like this the most!! Little isometric rooms with little isometric characters all chatting and interacting and being cute and silly and tiny!! I love that! Alas, it had to stay a sketch, but here it is!! Can you recognize everyone here? The main three got the center, but who could the rest be :3c And what of their costumes! Hehe ♪

Still fighting back the sleepies for what ended up being the final version so the dialogue was left much more vague than the caption haha, the aliens don’t even have feet here! I suppose they are meant to be in fish costumes lol, it tracks that only the fully-human Captain’s legs would end there, but definitely not intentionally done so lol. I like ZEX’s expression here so muuuuch ahh I wish I’d been able to capture it a bit better in the digital version! Always something for next time haha

I actually ended up drawing Day 30′s sketch very very last, so this was the last doodle of the season! Me, projecting my tiredness onto the Vargases? Nooo <3 Another one that ended up very very different from the final version, I just needed Something down to paper and out of my head to work with really - I knew even while drawing this that I was going to end up with something very different haha. Sometimes hand just does whatever it wants pft. The dialogue was the star of the show here! And you can see what Scriabin was up to, obscured by the couch haha

Day 31, penultimate sketches for the final day! I really do love Scriabin hiding behind Edgar - wants to be included but not That close, very much with Edgar in the way of anything bad happening to him haha. More pose changes! I like both versions, Todd holding Shmee for comfort or him spilling out of his lap as he focuses all his attention on Joel <3 Both cute in different ways!

Cats are still not one of my strong-suits, but I have been drawing them a bit more recently! Admittedly of the cartoon variety, but even that has had some effect I think! Like their little triangle noses, and the way their ears scoop inwards, and whiskers - little things! I like it! I had fun with these little concept poses, Joel kind of curiously huddling on Edgar’s chest, looking at the world from a safe vantage spot haha. Hold him gently! He deserves it!

All the sketches from this year! I ended up having a lot of fun this season even if it was a little lighter than previous years haha, thank you again to everyone who joined!! ♥

Can you please tell me some wholesome facts about the revolutionaries? 😊

In his notes on Robespierre (written somewhere right after thermidor) Fréron claims that, at least while at college, ”one cannot remember to have seen him laugh once.” But then later he writes that ”the witty naiveties of Camille Desmoulins made Robespierre laugh until he cried.”

On January 23 1793, Lucile Desmoulins writes in her diary about witnessing the funeral procession of Louis-Michel le Peletier, a deputy murdered on the 20th after having voted for death during the king’s trial. She was very touched by what she saw and couldn’t stop her tears for a while. After all her guests have left that evening she can’t stand to be alone with her thoughts, so ”I ran to D(anton’s). He was moved to see me still pale and defeated. We drank tea, I supped there.”

In his memoirs, Barras reports the following about Augustin Robespierre:

[Napoleon] informed me that a woman of the lower classes, who had been assisted by Robespierre the Younger, had been arraigned before the Revolutionary Tribunal and sentenced to death during his absence from Paris, and that on his return he had expressed disapproval of the sentence, sent for the twelve-year-old son of that woman, clothed him, and admitted him to his table; the boy feeling sad, Ricord commanded him to drink to the health of the Republic, but the lad refused; thereupon Robespierre the Younger, addressing Ricord, said to him: ”Respect such a character. You would not do as much under similar circumstances." 

On October 20 Couthon wrote a very clingy letter to Saint-Just while away on a mission to Lyon — ”You haven't written me a line, my friend, since we parted; I blame you for it, because you promised me that in any case of absence, you would give me your news. […] You know, my dear friend, that I need, to console myself for the evils that overwhelm me, testimonies of interest from those I esteem; tell me then that you exist, that you are well, that you have not forgotten me, and I will be happy.”

Le Bas also wrote quite warmly about SJ in a letter to his wife dated November 28 1793:

We went this morning, Saint-Just and I, to visit one of the highest mountains at the top of which is an old fort in ruins, placed on an immense rock. We both felt, looking around, a delicious feeling. This is the first day that we have had a break. […] Saint-Just is almost as eager as I to see Paris again. I promised him dinner from your hand. I’m glad you don’t hold it against him; he is an excellent man; I love and esteem him more and more by every passing day. The Republic has no more ardent, more intelligent defender. The most perfect agreement, the most constant harmony reigned among us. What makes him even dearer to me is that he often talks to me about you and consoles me as much as he can. He sets a high value, it seems to me, on our friendship, and he says things to me from time to time with a very good heart.

Élisabeth Le Bas confirms her husband’s feelings for Saint-Just in her memoirs, when describing the relationship between the three while on a mission together:

Saint-Just had the most delicate attentions for me en route and the considerations of a tender brother. At each relay station, he descended from the coach to see if anything was missing, for fear of an accident. He saw me suffering so much that he feared for me. He was, at last, so good and so attentive to my sister-in-law and me that the trip did not seem long to us. My beloved was very sensitive to all his kindnesses and gave him all his recognition. To pass the time, these messieurs would read us Molière plays or some passages from Rabelais, and sang Italian airs; they made every effort to distract us and make me forget my suffering.

When Camille on December 11 1790 was finally given permission by Lucile’s parents to marry their daughter, he described his reaction the following way: ”When her mother told me a moment ago, she brought me to her room; I threw myself on Lucile’s lap; surprised at hearing her laugh I open my eyes, hers were in no better state than mine, she was all in tears, she was even crying profusely and yet she was still laughing. I have never seen such a delightful spectacle, and I would not have imagined that nature and sensibility could unite these two contrasts to such an extent.”

In February 1793 Camille and Lucile went on a short trip to Essonne, where they lived alone in an old castle and amused themselves with going for walks, riding donkeys, fishing and boating. In a letter to her mother Lucile reports: ”You would laugh if you saw C(amille) as a boatman, rowing as hard as he can and at any moment flanking the boat against the first point of land that it meets. What a pity that it isn’t summer! […] Write to me as soon as possible to let is know the day you have chosen for us to pick you up at Essonne in a cabriolet and me on my donkey.”

On August 9 1793, Madame Roland was joined in prison by Pétion’s wife Anne Madeleine Françoise and ten year old son Louis Étienne Jérôme. Judging by what she wrote in her memoirs and letters (1, 2, 3), it would appear like she took them both under her wing:

I suffered for my poor companion beyond words. It was I who undertook the sad task of preparing her for the blow she hardly expected, and of announcing it to her (Most likely a reference to the death of Anne’s mother, executed in Paris on September 24 1793). I was sure to bring to it the alleviations that another would perhaps have found with difficulty, because it is only my position that could make me share her pain so well. This circumstance caused her to be sent to me; we eat together, and she likes to spend most of the days near me; I work much less, but I am useful, and this feeling makes me taste a kind of charm that the tyrants do not know. […] I receive Lady B's letters with gratitude. I do not know them, I intend to make them useful for two people, I will have little P(étion) read them; I had only Thompson which he could not yet understand.

Éléonore Duplay also appears to have been a huge support to her little sister Élisabeth and two month old nephew Philippe while the three sat in prison together after thermidor. In her memoirs, Élisabeth writes — ”Oh! I will not in a lifetime forget you! For without you I would have succumbed; but, with your courage, you revived my strength and made me see that I had a great task to fulfill, that I had a son, that I needed to live for him. […] No, good dear sister Éléonore, I will not forget your devotion to me and your poor little nephew in a lifetime; my recognition will be eternal!”

Lucile Desmoulins and Hébert’s wife Marie Marguerite Françoise they too seem to have been rather inseparable both while in prison together and on their way to the scaffold.

After the death of Phillippeaux and Desmoulins, the former’s wife Marguerite became friends with the latter’s mother-in-law Annette. The two processed their grief together and also let their children, Auguste Phillippeaux (1787) and Horace Desmoulins (1792) get to know and play with each other. Five letters from Marguerite to Annette have been published, and they really are quite wholesome.

Other posts I’ve already made that contain wholesome stuff:

Hello! I wanted to gush about your writing and the game for a minute! ☺️🤭

I just got into the LADS fandom at the beginning of this week and I am absolutely FERAL for all of them. I originally wanted to play the game awhile ago but my phone is old and I didn’t think to use my PC but hot DANG if the ticky-app didn’t pull me back in with SYLUS?! HELLO?! Your writing on him is absolutely DELICOUS! 😍 I adored your poly Misty Fic so much that I had to share it with my friend who is a Deepspace girlie too & I CANNOT stop re-reading it. We have been on discord simping and squealing over these men while I stream it. The game is so well done, I’ve yet to come across one done so well and your writing fits so good into the characters. Thank you for giving us the best fan fiction any, new & old, LADS fan can get! 😍

I will most definitely be sharing and be back! …aaannnddd maybe stalking my notifications for new posts 😝😅

Hey! Firstly, welcome to the fandom! 😍

We have angst-ridden super hot men and big tiddies to keep us company, enjoy your stay down here with us. We are all so unwell for these boys. 😂😂♥️

And YESSSS. Sylus has been a terrible bed bias wrecker 😮‍💨 I try to stay loyal to Rafayel, Sylus threads his fingers through mine and tugs me back. I try and think of Zayne and how big he is and Sylus is there, shoving that fine ass and big D energy into my face. I try and look at Caleb and Sylus is already there; infuriatingly smug grin and sultry red eyes tugging my proverbial collar his way. 😩😩

Also, AAAAAAAAAH you’re so kind, thank you for your lovely compliment and for making my day, I’m happy you enjoy my writing for the boys (and especially for Sylus 😉).

It’s been well over 8 years since I got into otome and joseimuke games and I agree with you whole-heartedly. LaDS has a unique charm to it and is immensely immersive, as compared to the rest of its predecessors. Pair that up with a riveting story and top tier angst and you’ve got yourself a brilliant game. Truly kudos to the devs for feeding us so well 👏🏽👏🏽 Absolutely feel free to come back and gush to me about these boys, please, I’m more than happy to scream with you 🥰🥴💜

The Fabio reply pretty much broke my brain! And then your thought on poly ds fabio and marc!!!!!

Like yes please!

So does Fabio introduce marc to the nice dom after The Crash and the Injury? Or does he mention it before?

Does Fabio seen with them the first time or not? Does said dom end up in the present with two cuddly subs that like having their hair petted? Like sitting on the couch and having the both of them half ontop.

Also marcs resent insta of dancing to abba comes to mind, marc being happy and comfortable with fabio and dom and basically mating dancing for them 😁

Cheers and love your writing 🏍 anon

YES POLY!FABIO/MARC!! This ship in the D/S AU is my new obsession lads. I have so many thoughts about this it's a little unhealthy oh my god.

So I think that in this version of the AU, fabio has had you as his dom for a while already. Fabio is, of course, a very needy sub who just worships the ground you walk on. You collared him after one season of being his team dom and fabio has never looked back since, you're his dom and that's that.

Marc, on the other hand, has had a rotation of team doms ever since he started racing with Honda. Mostly because he could just never find someone he really clicked with. At the end of the season someone from Honda would sit down with him and ask if he wanted that season's team dom to be hired for the next season and his answer was always no, because he just didnt feel a connection with them.

And then this season comes around, and it's worse season yet both in terms of injury and in terms of performance. He struggled the season before too, but this season was just horrid. And he had a dom that he had basically no connection with, which was terrible because he was already feeling like an inadequate rider and being with that dom only made him feel like an inadequate sub as well.

Fabio sees this, and his heart just breaks because he can see how badly his friend needs a dom to just love him and care for him. And because fabio is the just the sweetest little thing, he tells you all about this, about how bad he feels for Marc.

After a few weeks of hearing fabio talk about how badly Marc is doing, you tell him to ask Marc if he'd be interesting in a simple scene with you and fabio.

Marc is hesitant at first, and he honestly feels a little betrayed that fabio would tell his dom how much he's been struggling. But then fabio starts to tell Marc about his dom, about how he spends entire days floating in a light subspace and being handfed, alternating between working out and cuddling his dom. And Marc can't deny how good that kind of attention would feel, how nice it would be to feel like a good sub and have someone else carry the burden of his recovery for a while.

So he agrees to get dinner with you and fabio, a traditional dinner where you sit at the table and fabio and Marc kneel on either side of your chair, being handfed of your plate. It's the type of scene Marc hasn't done in years, but it sounds so comforting.

When he knocks on the door of Fabio's motorhome, he's greeted with a smiley fabio. Fabio has his formal collar on and he's practically giddy, pulling him into his motorhome and locking the door behind him.

You're much calmer than fabio, but very welcoming nonetheless. You thank him for coming and go over his safe words even though the scene is as simple as can be. You tell Marc he's allowed to talk freely to you and to fabio, that you'd love to hear about his day while you three enjoy dinner. That surprises Marc, as his team doms have always preferred strict scenes where he can't talk unless spoken to. But you arent like that, you want to hear from him and connect with him.

They kneel on either side of your chair, and when Marc looks a little nervous, fabio stretches his hand out to Marc to hold his. The sight is so sweet it makes your heart ache, two subs either side of you, holding hands across you.

You start by handfeeding fabio, letting Marc as you take a piece of broccoli on a fork and gently move it down to Fabio's mouth. Fabio moves his head forward and takes the food into his mouth, smiling around the fork and taking the broccoli. You give him a head pat for it and then take the other fork to get mire broccoli and turn to Marc.

Marc is nervous, but he does as fabio did and waits for you to lower the fork enough to be able to take the food.

"Good boy," you tell him, putting the fork down and petting his head, cupping his cheek so he has to look up and praising him again.

Marc beams up at you then, already feeling subspace tugging at the back of his head and he just allows himself to drift. It feels so good to be sitting here like this, being fed and praised and treated like a good sub.

Fabio asks him how his practice session went, and Marc finds that its so easy to talk to fabio like this. Even though he's floating in a light subspace, he finds he enjoys talking like this. He feels like all his walls are down but he's safe here, especially because fabio is in the same headspace as him. They're both a little giggly and chatty but it's so nice, and he feels so safe.

You talk with him too, and he can't help the way he just opens up so easily with you and Fabio. You ask if he's okay and he answers no very honestly, telling you that he feels lost. You cup his cheek again, telling him he won't ever be lost as long as he knows how to get back here, which naturally makes him cry and then suddenly fabio is shuffling over and hugging him and he's crying in Fabio's arms.

He comes over a lot more after that, in fact he soon almost never sleeps in his own motorhome or hotel room anymore. He crawl into bed with you and fabio all the time, and it doesn't take long before things turn sexual.

At first Marc was too nervous to be turned on, but after he comes over a few times he starts to be. He can't help it, not when he's all cuddled up with Fabio and you're watching over them, and he feels so safe and looked after in a way he hasn't in years. How could he not get hard?

He's a submissive, and he sees you as his dom. Of course he's going to get turned on, his dom is supposed to be the one to take care of him like that too.

Needless to say, by the end of the season you have two collared subs.

(We need to discuss this more I love it)

What are your stuffing headcanons for Gale and Astarion?

Oooooo~ I love that you’re asking for these lads :D thank you! There was another anon ask for Astarion canons, so I’ll do both here for you.

CW: Stuffing, hunger, PTSD mention, Astarion backstory mention

*****************************************************************************************************************************

So Gale first:

Gale loves a good, nutritious, filling meal as much as the next person. Especially after a long day researching. He’s a dab hand at cooking himself, but nothing beats the dishes his mother used to make. On occasion, she still invites him over to her cottage to make meals for him, and sends ingredients to his tower. His mother doesn’t like the tower, it’s too large and dusty! She wishes for him to come and visit more often.

His favourite thing to do after a big meal, is throw on some comfier clothes, grab a book and snuggle up with Tara by a warm fire. When happy, his belly lets out soft, soothing gurgles and groans, as it digests its contents. Much to the wizard’s embarrassment, his stomach’s gurgling has put Tara soundly to sleep on multiple occasions.

The wizard tries not to overindulge, but when he does, he feels heavy and bloated, but in a good, yet sluggish way. He’s fine with overeating to an extent, but should someone point it out, he’d flush red and stutter over his words. He’s never at a loss for words, but Gale would certainly stumble whilst trying to explain away his swollen, groaning middle.

No one has ever touched Gale’s belly button, aside from once, when Astarion accidentally tickled it whilst in mock flirtation. It is sensitive. Gale had jumped, accidentally let out a moan, began to burn red from nose to ears, and then briskly walked back to his tent. It is Something Astarion holds against him to this day.

If his partner had a belly kink, namely stuffing, and the two of you were alone, he’d allow you to feed him and rub his belly. I imagine he’d be quite good at flirting whilst doing it too. The man is a smooth talker, and his words would be chosen carefully with each sentence.

I canon that he often uses mage hand to rub his own belly when no one is looking, pretending it belongs to some forgotten love or new lover~

Astarion next:

So, Astarion is a little more difficult, being a vampire. I mean all he can really ingest is blood and wine. I’m thinking he can probably swallow normal things easily enough, but these things settle awkwardly in his stomach, making it ache with nausea.

The problem is that he’s hungry a lot (as per my previous hunger canons) due to the lack of things to eat. But if he were to catch a boar or a bear, that empty aching in his tummy would be sated for a good while. He can’t control himself when he sees one and his hunger is ravenous.

He goes into a sort of frenzy. Fighting the creature, biting onto them, sucking their blood and draining it down into his filling belly. After a minute or two, his belly is bushing his clothes out and he knows he is full…..but he cannot stop! It’s delicious! And he’s so empty! And he doesn’t know when his next meal will be! And who knows when he’ll be locked away for another however many years, starved and tortured, with only the taste of decaying ray in his tongue. And then the ptsd and the fear takes his mind for a minute. Then he’s back. And the creature before him lays drained. Astarion gasps, his stomach almost pulling him to the ground. Full, bloated! He’s huge! Bigger than he feels he’s ever been. Can he even stand? Yet, the pain in his swollen middle is warm, safe and inviting. He will not starve. The vampire covers a hand to his face, eyes shining with the glow of realisation, and he laughs. Long and loud into the night. When he returns to camp, Astarion’s head is swimming - He is blood drunk.

So happy is he to have a full, stuffed belly, that he almost dances back to camp (as well as he can,) showing the newly amassed belly off to everyone who will deign to lend an ear. He may have to hunt his own prey most of the time, but surely this is true freedom.

Though he won’t admit it, Astarion is disappointed that Gale has foul tasting poison for blood, he longed to be full of his warmth. He also won’t admit that Halsin was the first person to ever give him a belly rub, (even though it was initially unwanted by the vampire,) and he thoroughly enjoyed his big, warm hands caressing his pale, bloated belly. He longs for him to do it again, but if Halsin ever offered, Astarion would scoff and call him a name.

The vampire doesn’t know it yet, but when he finally gets to drink his fill of his partner’s blood, without hurting/killing them, it would be the best feeling he has ever felt.

Astarion has soft digestion and a slow metabolism, so he can get by on little, but it would take a while to digest a whole lot of blood in one sitting. He’s never really understood how it works. Yes, he’s a vampire, and yes, he’s been one for around 200 years…..but how the hells should he know why an undead creature’s stomach can still digest food, whilst his heart ceases its beating? His full tummy sings ‘happily’ when it’s stuffed up, almost like a lullaby.

I was tempted to upload my hunger/stuffing Astarion drawings to here, but it would probably just get flagged X,D so I’ll link from my Twitter instead.

ghoag but make it western horror

have some jumbled story ideas under the cut (it’s very much just vibes)

aight, story would start with Reg coming into a small town where she’s very much not welcome, but the sunshine lad of a good and helpful citizen aka Johnny is kind enough to let her stay because ain’t he a nice fella?

He himself came to town but a few months, maybe a year earlier, to take over his ‘uncle’s’ farm, who, ailed by illness, sucumbs to it not too long after his arrival. tragic, innit? so now the lovely young man is ‘the farmer’, nothing too special bout it. not that anyone seems to notice how good he is with a rifle. or that his eyes sometimes seem to glow. or that his tongue will look weird, but that one was probably just a trick of the light :)

just a month later, the cranky old man of a town’s priest also dies, so sad, but no worries, a new ones already on his way. Enter Simon, ‘the priest’, who comes across as weirdly unsettling, but he’s down to join for a drink or two in the bar, something that couldn’t be said of the former father. he doesn’t seem to get along with people, but MacTavish appears to be an exception. but a man who can’t get along with Johnny has yet to be invented, so people aren’t too suspicious of their closeness. lovely :)

Juliette herself, oh so kindly dubbed ‘the stranger’ by the townsfolk looks over her shoulder a suspicious amount, almost as if haunted by something. She also seems to stare at their priest and her kind host with a sort of suspicion, like she’s seeing something other’s aren’t. people would prefer if she stopped, that’s simply their upstanding friend and maybe slightly off-putting priest, but people don’t like it. be happy you’re even staying, MacTavish’s defending you and all you can give is weird paranoia. very rude of you, ma’am.

(aka Johnny is a Something that, together with his boyfriend, needs a new place to stay for a bit and decides that dressing said partner up as the new priest is a great cover and somehow Juliette is the one that is suspicious of the whole thing. do they all end up together? course they do, who do you think I am? so here’s a typical western romance with a tinge of cannibalism and horror for funsies :D half the fun is that Simon has no fucking clue as to what he’s doing and is just winging it with intimidation and the hope that his voice is distracting enough for people not to notice how gloriously he’s fucking up the sermon. that and Johnny ate a priest)
