post oc lore king/queen !!

😭 I don't really have lore tbh, mostly vibes. Everything is too underdeveloped for lore

I have vague ideas of what I want my ocs to be.

For example, I want to put these guys in a 'time travel' kinda situation, where a murder takes place (that phone guy, who was the only one who knew how to help them get back in their time).

The only thing worse than their designs are the names

New gith who dis?

Saving her for patch 7 since I'm finally going to run Durge. Haven't settled on a name yet but I'm very into this look.

Huh, just saw that not everyone takes "Captain Sodom and Captain Gomorrah. He's Gomorrah," as a gay joke. Not adding this to the post going around because I don't want to come across as argumentative or rude, but seeing it does compel me to overexplain why I think it's unambiguously a gay joke lol.

"Captain Sodom and Captain Gomorrah," would be a generic joke about debauchery imo. "He's Gomorrah," is what makes it a joke about gay sex specifically, by pointedly referencing sodomy. Because while technically sodomy refers to a lot of things, based on my own experience and 20th century media consumption I feel like I can pretty confidentally say that in public consciousness, at least in US media, it's functionally a synonym for gay anal.

Like I'm no expert here so maybe I'm wrong and biased in my media consumption and experiences, but if I saw someone on TV using the word sodomy to refer to het sex acts without it being in the context of like, an informative conversation about how sodomy doesn't just refer to gay sex, or like, in the context of a deep south bible thumper type railing against all non-piv sex in antiquated terms, I would be very surprised. I'd at least expect a woman to be specified if it's meant to be het pia, and idt I've ever seen it used as a synonym for blowjobs except in real life 'fun fact' discussions lol. (Also fun fact, cunnilingus is not legally sodomy.)

"He's Gomorrah," also just doesn't function as a joke if it's just referring to general heterosexual debauchery, the whole point of that line is to make the reference to sodomy in particular explicit, in differentiation from Trapper. And in this context Hawkeye isn't calling himself an enjoyer of receiving blowjobs or fucking women in the ass in comparison to Trapper who only has good christian piv sex, he's differentiating himself from Trapper in terms of his effeminacy, something he does often in comedic contexts.

And my impression is that the point of the gay sex jokes in general isn't "Hawkeye is bi representation" or "getting gay references past the censors sneakily," it's "Hawkeye making jokes about being unmasculine which includes making jokes about getting fucked in the ass in an exaggeration of his gender expression, which is not actually all that out there in the 70s counter-culture context."

Ship List

Retrospring is going down, so there's not much point to keeping my carrd up any longer. This was like the only thing I had on there, so I decided to move it over and use the opportunity to talk more about these guys! Ships will include ortho, incest, age gaps, ect. I'm open-minded with this stuff. Love to play with my dolls (characters), and I love things that are taboo and uncomfortable!

Any first year combo I include Ortho here! And I like them as just a polycule too. They're a very sweet friend group and I always enjoy seeing them interact with one another

Riddle/Jack Positions could switch, I just like Jack's puppy crush on Riddle in I think his ceremonial robes card and the stitch event

Azul/Riddle

Floyd/Riddle

Ortho/Riddle Shorty on shorty <3 I think Riddle could be very embarrassed about it, but Ortho is super overwhelming when he tries to convince someone about something, so that could get Riddle in a lot of trouble... I also love seeing Ortho with emotionally unstable characters. In a darker au, I'd see him gaslighting them into thinking they're dependent on him, like his older brother

Malleus/Riddle I like their interactions in Malleus' union birthday card and in Riddle's ghost marriage card. Another character I think would be super overwhelming to Riddle, but also, he respects Malleus a lot and could easily build a very sweet dynamic with him!

Jade/Trey I'm devastated this fic may have been deleted because I was going to link it here, but it completely convinced me of these two </3 I just want Jade to manipulate Trey into being weirder

Rook/Trey I just want Rook to manipulate Trey into being weirder

Cater/Cater

Ortho/Cater Another emotionally unstable character I want Ortho to gaslight into depending on him... But he is also a very hype character, and so is Ortho, so they could have a lot of fun! I can see him making deals with Ortho to get his help improving his reach on the algorithm

Azul/Deuce For everyone in octavinelle, I just really like the idea of Deuce being taken advantage of by them. He's a good boy, and they are not

Jade/Deuce

Floyd/Deuce

Malleus/Deuce Their interactions are really fun. Malleus loves this weird boy who is so down to fight him the second he thinks Malleus is making a go at him, and Deuce getting all embarrassed and confused from receiving Malleus' affection is soo good!!

Leona/Ruggie

Leona/Epel

Leona/Silver Just once I need to read a horrible fic of Silver getting nonconned the hell out of by Leona for his affiliation with Malleus

Rook/Ruggie

Jade/Azul I like the idea of Floyd and Jade sharing Azul, but between the three of them, Jade/Azul is my favorite combo by far

Floyd/Azul

Ortho/Azul Same reasons as Riddle and Cater, but Azul wanting to make Ortho his younger brother for business in his union birthday card adds a cool and fun flair

Jade/Kalim See Gold Earrings by sepsis

Rook/Jade They're going to do horrible things together and I'm so happy for them

Jade/Silver FAVE!! Jade is such a weird boy about Silver. I want to see him poison and injure Silver just so he can tuck him in and feed him his favorite food and give him kisses to make it better, and Silver will be so grateful, the poor oblivious thing <3

Rook/Epel

Malleus/Epel I need Malleus to obliterate that tiny little man

Lilia/Epel Shorty on shorty <3 I also need Lilia to obliterate him

Silver/Epel My original rarepair. I used to obsess over them a lot more. I still think they could be cute, though!

Ortho/Idia If only I could be more passionate about them!! Lots of good content out there, and I do passively enjoy them and their codependent awfulness whenever I pass by ship art and occasionally fics. Love them

Malleus/Idia I think they're going to have some pretty good moments when we get further on in book 7!

Lilia/Idia

Ortho/Malleus I delight over this ship. I'm suprised I haven't spoken about them more, but their interaction in book 7 was INSANE. Ortho could truly be an equal to Malleus, in a lot of ways, especially when time passes and their long lifespans become more apparent. They could fight each other and fuck nasty too. I used to have Malleus as the dom here but it could be either, and I like it when Ortho tops a lot so I switched them

Malleus/Silver MY OTP my bread and butter my everything. They're the only ones I can ever seem to write fic for!! They're the opposite of each other, they're the same, they're brothers, they're prince and knight, they're going to kill each other, they're going to love so sweetly, they're going to fuck nasty. Love love love love them I hope you always know that I am obsessed with them like nothing else

Lilia/Silver I love LiliSil a lot too!! You'll see me talk about them on my blog from time to time. Lilia is so complicated and such a little bastard, it makes it so fun to imagine all kinds of things happening with this kid who loves him more than life

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

So like, mini disclaimer before the post. I was not and am not a believer in the "Sonic is going to be forced to choose between his original friends and the shatterspace variants" theory, nor the companion to it "all the variants are just gonna essentially live with their memories inside the og friends' hearts"

However, I do have brainrot over the idea of Nine meeting Tails in his dreams, and some of these ideas require a prerequisite of "in which Nine exists within Tails' heart but does not currently have a body.

ㅤ

Imagine, if you will, a setting post canon in which the variants exist within the hearts of the original and (kingdom hearts style) they would just need a body/vessel of their own to exist again. Tails is sleeping, and after dreams upon dreams of meeting the variants, experiencing their fleeting memories and their hurt (their feelings about everything), he comes across Nine.

Nine... Tails has had a hard time remembering much of his dreams while awake, but when he's dreaming, he remembers that Nine has been perhaps the angriest and most conflicted of all the variants. All of them want to be alive, of course. Tails wouldn't be surprised if *all* of them have been parsing through his own memories in exchange for sharing theirs.

But none have been so volatile as Nine, harder to reason with. The others at least face him more often than not, but Nine has directly done so few times.

But...Tails can't blame him for that, especially not after what he knows. He understands how Nine likely feels (abandoned, lonely, forgotten). Perhaps he wouldn't be so agreeable either if he fought tooth and nail for a better future, and the universe denied him that (nay, punished him to watch but to never have).

But tonight...

Nine is standing under a palm tree, facing the vast ocean past the beaches of Green Hill. Tails takes a few steps down the hill he's on, and soon enough he's standing off to the side (dream logic, he understands)—where he can see Nine from the front, but isn't standing directly in front of him or obstructing his view.

It's at this moment that Tails realizes he's never seen Nine so clearly before. The tips of his ears, to his permafrown, to his 7 mechanical tails, and down to his shoes. He's fought the fox before in his dreams, seen glimpses of him, but this is the first time he's had a chance to really see him.

Nine turns his head away from the sea, and suddenly Tails is beside him, mere feet away.

Tails opens his mouth, a dozen questions and sentence starters flying through his head. What eventually comes out is just a simple, "Nine?"

Nine smiles at that, and yet...Tails can tell almost instantly that it's not because he's happy or excited to see him. No, the smile is almost...accepting, if not a little bit sad.

Then, Nine sighs. "This could have been the other way around, but...it has to be you."

Tails hesitates for a moment before pointing at himself. "...Me? Why?"

"There are so many people connected to you—all of you, if my hypothesis is correct. It often is. You're me, so...you can feel what I felt. You could...feel how I feel."

And maybe it's true that Tails can feel what Mangey, Sails, and Nine are feeling, but all that proves is that one is affected by the presence of others residing within their own consciousness.

Tails shakes his head. "No. You're you, not me."

There's a moment of silence before Nine chuckles, and Tails continues, "I want you to know that you deserve to live as your own person, just as much as I do."

"Every time we've fought—here—I've asked you the same question. Do you remember it?"

Well, of course, Tails finds multiple questions as he tries to think back, but by keeping the terms of Nine's question in mind and employing process of elimination–

Nine turns back to the sea, squeezing both gloved hands into fists at his sides. "I was angry—among other things. I just couldn't understand why I was here. After everything I'd fought for, everything we'd been through together, I couldn't understand why he chose you. And every time I asked, you never gave me an answer."

Nine's right. Tails has never given him an answer to that question.

But to Tails...that question was never his to answer, at least in his opinion. Unless Sonic told him, Tails would never know why he put in for him, Amy, Knuckles, and Rouge over worlds of new friends. All he does know (straight from Sonic's own testimony) is that Sonic would have never made the choice he did had he known it would lead to all this. Sonic had wanted home, Tails, and all his friends back, but he never meant to erase the other worlds. Even as he tries to pretend otherwise, Tails knows Sonic has been beating himself up for the choice he made ever since.

Shouldn't Nine know that—that Sonic didn't mean to hurt him, that Sonic feels regret, that Sonic wasn't intending to choose between one or the other?

"Nine–"

"Save it," Nine says, cutting him off. "It doesn't matter anymore. Sonic made his choice, but you still have that chance."

Nine turns back to Tails and holds out a hand.

Tails looks down, then back up at Nine. He hesitates for a second, but ultimately takes Nine's hand.

Tails is an observer, a spectator without form, as memories begin to play out before him in quick succession. Despite the lack of form, somehow his head begins to ache in pain that only grows over the moments.

And then, he begins to notice a pattern in the memories shown to him. Despite the pain, he recognizes the clear shift since a certain blue hedgehog—Sonic, of course—saves Nine from being hit by a train.

Each and every memory, if Sonic wasn't centered or mentioned in it, then his palpable absense was the focal point. Nine fought him, he worked with him, he almost lost him, he thought he lost him, and then he fought him again.

Nine had spent most of his life lonely, though he hadn't realized that until his life was almost over.

A waterfall of emotions hit him then, just before the highlight reel crackles into black.

And then, Tails is standing beside Nine again, head pulsing and heart pounding. He can hardly remember what he's just seen, and that waterfall of emotions seeps through his fingers as he tries to catch them, to study them.

All he knows is that he understands. Somehow, he understands why Nine feels the way he does. Now, more than before, he understands why Nine is hung up on Sonic the way he is.

Perhaps, Tails thinks, he understands how it feels for Nine to be with Sonic (and without him) far more than anyone else.

Tails musters up a look of determination as he stares into Nine's eyes, and he squeezes his hand. "I'll figure it out. No matter how long it takes, I'll make sure you—you, and Sails, and Mangey, and the rest—can walk along the beach. You don't deserve to sit here and watch like this. None of you deserved to have your lives taken."

And Nine... Nine smiles, like he just can't help it. "Don't you see? That's why it has to be you."

There's a feeling, an almost indescribable feeling, that strikes Tails' heart at that.

"I promise," Tails says.

And then, he’s sitting up in his bed, breathing deeply.

As he makes himself get up, get ready, and rush into his lab, there's little he remembers from his dream as always.

But he knows what he has to do.

I'll make sure of it, Nine.

God i hate Google

[lightning-fright]

their tertiary genes were terrible but the primary and secondary genes are so strong that i'm not gonna scatter theme. i am blown away by the beautiful dragons i managed to get.

[starboy-squeakers]

Again not a dungeon meshi reader/watcher but every time I hear about that laois guy I get reminded of how my system had/has a hyperfixation on dragons so intense that we got that big fancy dragonology book and we treated it like the damn dragon Bible for like years

Now, obviously, we understand that there's different interpretations on mythical creatures, and no one interpretation on a dragon is necessarily gospel, but that multiple interpretations on the classic tale of beasts of scale and fire are completely valid and to be expected!

however if you call an Eastern dragon a coatl I'm going to come to your house and slaughter your family

[whywoulditho]

english (and almost every other european language tbh) has always been fucking weird to me because why the fuck would you need gender-specific names to like, body scent. why not just call them the same thing. what exactly is the difference between a perfume and a cologne?? or like, niece and nephew? i mean why go out of your way to invent two words that mean the same thing but one is only for men and the other is only for women? when they're quite literally the same thing???

WIP Wednesday

I recently stumbled over the idea of Pocket Soulmates and couldn't get the idea of Stiles with a mini-feral alpha out of my head 😂 I haven't witten that much for this idea yet (actually I just started today), but have the first few hundred words for this! xD

Stiles felt his dad’s eyes stare into his back as he walked up the stairs to his room, still shaken from what had happened at the high school. The thing that weighed the most on his conscious, though, was lying to his dad again. Oh, and of course that Derek had disappeared after he’d probably died by the Alpha’s hands! Not to mention what Scott had admitted: He’d wanted to follow the Alpha’s command, to kill all of them - even Stiles. Somewhere in the back of his mind he knew how fucked up it was, that meeting the Alpha himself didn’t have a place in his top three shitty things that happened tonight, but to be fair: He’d already known that there was a huge wolf monster running around the city and killing people. With his curiosity and inability to keep his nose out of weird happenings he’d known that he was bound to meet that thing eventually. He hadn’t expected it to be at school, mind you, but he probably should have known. After all about one third of his life existed solely on school grounds. The odds to meet the Alpha there, too, were not much lower than meeting him in his home, or even his room. He stopped at that thought, hand hovering in mid air in front of his door. Was he in danger of meeting the Alpha in his room tonight? He listened, his eyebrows furrowing in concentration as he tried to hear anything from the other side of the door. But there was nothing. He huffed and shook his head, stupid thoughts in his stupid brain trying to stupidly get him worked up over stupid possibilities that probably weren’t even possibilities! After all Scott had said himself that the Alpha wanted him to kill all his friends. There was no reason for a hulking beast to wait for him in his room. Stiles took a fortifying breath and opened the door but didn’t step inside. Stupid brain frightening him in stupid ways because of course now he was waiting for the Alpha or Scott or a zombie-Derek appearing in front of him to rip out his intestines. But instead there was just his dark and empty room. He sighed and stepped in, kicking the door closed behind him, and let himself fall face first onto his bed, ignoring the little lumps of all of the stuff in his various jacket and pants pockets pressing into his body. At least until one of the lumps started to move and a growl reached his ears.

Me up at 2:30 AM trying to find a my little pony speedpaint series I liked 5 years ago, scrolling through piles of gore and smut only to find that the artist deleted their account and all their videos...
