#I'll talk about this creature I've created anytime

[aldisobey]

Somehow I missed the fact that your Rook is named Worne Thorne. What a fuckin NAME. What a son you have made for yourself. Amazing fic btw, I read it on my break and cackled. 😗

Your word inspires. Words inspire. Your voice in stories and meta got me writing again. It got me sharing for the very first time. You inspire again. Now I can use Worne in the fic. Tiny fic time. This one's for you. Here's the origin of the name. Appreciate the muse you handed me to write it out!

“He told you where he got Rook?” Davrin asked.

Emmrich nodded. “On our first trip to the Memorial Gardens.” Though he still doubted the veracity of the tale. The rogue laughed so hard at the end when describing his chess victory against Varric the words never quite made it out, and he refused to answer any clarifying questions. Rook had been only six, he hadn’t really eaten a…

“Must have been some date.” Davrin broke the rumination. Chuckled as he adjusted his grip. Rook draped snoring on his back like a bloody cape. 

Emmrich gave a sharp tut, “Trip, back then it was…”

“He didn’t share that with me.” The mage could hear the smirk in warrior's tone. Went silent. But Davrin was smiling, wincing at the loud snoring in his ear, but happy. Words seemed eager to hum. “He wouldn’t mind then.”

“Wouldn’t mind what now?” 

“Me telling you the other name.”

“Thorne?” Emmrich’s brow raised.

“Nah that’s what the Templars dubbed him. It went on the records at Weisshaupt but we called him something else.” 

Countenance furrowed. Rook had seemed perfectly fine with Thorne, mentioned it was shared among those he was closest with in Kirkwall. Perhaps he’d been softening the tale then? He looked now at the rogue passed out on Davrin’s back. Rook had spoken plenty of violence, even more of running, ‘I was being a prick’ he had laughed.

But the eyes had grimaced hadn't they? He could spot it now, and recalling the memory...it was similar to the look the necromancer received while healing the man today. Fingers had traced to knit new scars across old only minutes ago. Emmrich still trembled at the sight, refused to let it become familiar, had perhaps used a touch more of the necrotic to induce the deep sleep. But the body needed to do its work, required its rest. 

“Worne.” Davrin grinned

Emmrich blinked wide at him.

“I beg your pardon?” 

“Rook ‘Worne’ Thorne.” Davrin hitched his grip again, stirred a loud snore from his passenger. 

“Nothin sharp about him.” The hunter laughed even louder than the snore. Worne might’ve smirked in his sleep, but no. There was no waking consciousness there. 

Necromancer and warrior shared a brief chuckle, moved into quiet thought for some long moments after. Only footfalls and sleeping sounds heard. Then Davrin looked back at the soft face drooling into his shoulder, fresh lines marred a cheek. “And he’s been through it.”

Emmrich felt the bite. Almost paused in step as he focused on the man covering Davrin like a worn cloak. Skin tanned, wrinkled with scars like leather that was comfortable in a way only time could make it. 

“Worne.” A new tone passed his lips.

A tiny sigh escaped the rogue. Emmrich’s eyes took a shine. He’d only known the man a few months.

“It fits.” whispered thought.

Immediately.

I've seen a lot of people making their own MLP main 6, so I wanted to hop on the trend and make my own AU out of it! In this AU Nightmare Moon gets banished to the moon again, but takes the main 6 with her. Forcing Celestia to find another group to harness the elements of harmony, that's when my main 6 gets together. After I finish all their designs, I'd like to make something like a mini comic series about my AU and maybe even create a second blog page dedicated to it, but I'm not entirely sure where I wanna take it at the moment. I most likely won't reveal too much about my main 6 personality's until I start work on the comic because I want people to watch them develop there rather than in a post description.

Aside from everything previously mentioned, I also want to talk to you guys about some plans/ general things I want to do in the near future. Firstly, I'd really like to make a horror art account. Horror has always been one of my biggest passions growing up, and that's followed me into the present day. I have some artwork of creatures I've made, and even some fanart that I haven't posted here because, well it doesn't exactly fit the vibe I've created for this blog lol. I also have high hopes to make my own ARG or analog horror series, which I already have concept art, and a strong idea of what I want for it. That likely won't happen anytime soon, seeing as I do not have the resources, nor the funds for something like that, but my hopes are looking at sometime in a few years.

All that being said, I'm looking at possibly running three separate accounts. Which is a load of work I strongly believe I'm capable of managing now, but I'm unsure how sustainable that'll turn out to be in the long run. But I want to at least try it, and see if it'll work out, and if it doesn't I'll just figure something out then.

I greatly appreciate y'all who listened to my yappathon lol. Much love pookies ❤️🩷

[probablyanalienindisguise]

ranty personal talk or wtv, no trigger warnings besides maybe insects but just talking yk :)

I think the funniest part about human life is how much the little details can affect something.

I like what I do now yes, both for my job and what I've dedicated most of my life to studying for in school or otherwise.

I do tech stuff for game design for clarification, but i wanted to study entomology.

Do zoology for insects and stuff simply because I loved bugs as a kid y'know? Yet was never able to truly do those things. As unlike tech, entomology, surprisingly, wasn't really rising to popularity anytime soon. Or at least to the rates at which technology was? Leading to most schools in my area just completely removing the option altogether, literally way before I was born.

And yeah while I do love designing video games and making art, I wonder what would've been different if given the options I wasn't given before sometimes.

I study insects for different reasons now, as I incorporate them into my art and games as characters or background inspirations. Create things with them in mind sometimes. But it isn't really solely focused on the insects themselves, moreso the idea of them.

I have a love for arthropods yet its almost always going to be something long distanced. As without certification or experience, my chances are pretty low for a genuine job. So for now I do my best efforts to just find peace in studying them from afar.

Ironically, I've taken marine science classes as they were the closest to genuine entomology classes. But not fully? They were in the same families as some insects or arachnids but not exactly full bug study.

But I mean hey, I probably would've never gotten into the electric guitar without the help of tech and gaming so that worked out. Love doing that honestly lmao

I think my longest obsession was insects though, have always liked them or drew them in art classes or just in my freetime.

Idk maybe people like them as much as I do so I'll post some of the ones I still have :D (they're pretty old now though sorry)

These included with also fictional bugs/ bug based characters and creatures that I drew all the time

Like these don't even account for the multitudes of Scarab fanart I've made, simply because he's based off a beetle

Doctor Who: Phobos Review

Introduction

"You're scarier than the monsters."

Phobos a Big Finish story that walked so that The Rings Of Akhaten could run. I've mentioned in other reviews that the stories show the darkside of Paul MacGanns Doctor but this story aces as it. Listening to this story without any spoilers, gave me full goosebumps as once everything comes together your left in disbelief.

This story explores fear in a really creative and complex way. Again we get a unique "monster" compared to the usual things The Doctor has to face and deal with it. Its very mythical and creepy throughout. "Phobos" is Greek for fear and we truly get to experience fear throughout the story even if it it isn't a listen. Phobos absolutely blew my mind it took so many twists and turns I didn't expect.

This is another story I definitely recommend listening to individually if your not sold on The Eighth Doctor Adventures.

What I Liked

Again there's so many things that I could praise about this story as listening to Big Finish I've been shocked at the 100% good quality every time. The cast was once again stacked and they all played their roles too absolute perfection. To cut it down though I'll only talk about a few of the things that stood out to me.

As a musician the music in this story was like that feeling when you first go to an orchestral live concert. I had literal goosebumps. Out of all of the stories I've listened to Phobos definitely had the best music. Andy Hardwick is an absolute genius, he did a great job making the music so atmospheric and mystical. The composition was awesome. Every piece of music composed perfectly matched the aesthetic of each scene. The best theme had to be the chilling motif that played anytime the mysterious Phobians were mentioned. Doctor Who is a difficult piece of work to compose due to how diverse and unique each episode is but Big Finish have handled this challenge really well and delivered. The best part of sci-fi music is when it matches the atmsophere and tensity of the scene and Phobos does that perfectly. From its chilling and thrilling moments to its lighthearted fun moments, it's all composed perfectly in the right way that brings out the right emotions. If there's anything you want to get out of the story, listen deeply and closer to the music. I really hope that once I start by big finish releases they also come with the music because the scores really do slap.

Secondly I just have to talk about the incredible twists and turns throughout. I really wish I could film me listening to Big Finish in real time as trust me when I say that my mouth was a gape when the twists came, my mouth was a gape. My mind was well and truly blown. Again it's another one of those stories where you think it's going one way but then it goes in a completely different direction. Similar to Blood Of The Daleks your stuck guessing what's truly going on. It dives into some really heavy and dark themes and becomes unpredictable every minute that passes. To me, a good story steers away from what's expected of it and builds a twisted narrative that leaves you mind blown, Phobos does just that. The twists in this really allowed for Paul MacGann to shine and show off his Doctors darker side eloquently. All of the resolution is teased throughout the story but it comes as a massive shock to the point even Lucie is now doubtful about The Doctor and his character. It creates an interesting Doctor, Companion dynamic for the rest of this series of adventures.

Finally the incredible creativity and inventiveness of the story. I hate to admit it but Phobos walked so The Rings Of Akhaten could run. A lot of people not agree with me but with the way the stories include the Doctor feeding a creature with his memories it gives me a lot of déjà vu. Phobos feels so fresh from your typical Doctor Who story you'd get and I absolutely love it for that. This story really shows how experimental Big Finish are and how willing they are to explore entirely new concepts which I think is brilliant. Immortal Beloved perfectly showed the darkside of cloning whilst Phobos shows how powerful Fear is and how it has shaped The Doctor in his long life. As a result of the monster soley being on audio we get to be disturbed by on it a more physiological level, which is definitely effect in this series. The cries of people being chased by the creature was enough alone to bring me chills. I also adore the whole concept of the setting. On the surface it seems unoriginal for Phobos to be a chilled holiday destination until you peel back the layers and discover the conflict our side characters are facing. This story really embraced the fact its an exclusively audio story and I hope other Big Finish Stories are like that too.

What I Disliked

I loved this story but I have to be honest when I say that my enjoyment was spoiled due to its pacing. I've loved listening to the 8th Doctor Adventures but I have to be honest when I say that I have struggled with the pacing of these stories and Phobos was no acception to this. Some of these stories benefit from New Who style pacing whilst others don't.

Whilst the build up had so much pay off it did drag alot. All the build up took long and it felt way too slow paced given the context and threat in the story. I was just waiting for the huge action to happen every time somebody was attacked. Apart from that though I really did enjoy this story. Love your typical Doctor Who Monsters but it's more interesting when it's something entirely new.

Conclusion

Overall another fun and interesting Big Finish story. It deviated from what would normally be expected and was really inventive. It really flipped the whole monster on the lose killing tourists story and made it crumble beneath your feet. The side characters were an absolute delight and Lucie and The Doctor both got a lot to do here too and they both shone in their own ways. Again I'd heavily recommend giving this one a listen as it's a very interesting story.

My overall rating would be:

It's a story with a lot of meat that surprisingly works well on audio considering it's action packed and twisted nature. I also really liked that so many tropes were flipped on its head. This is one of the stories that have certain that im doing right by sticking with Big Finish and delving further into their catalogue. Paul MacGann is bumping up my favourite Doctor's list because he's just so endearing and charming in the role.

I definitely plan to in the far future save up to afford some of the season 2 stories and explore more of Lucie Miller. I'm sad that they don't have the rights to Grace and Chang Lee but 8s audio companions sound awesome. I'll give my thoughts on Charlie once I've actually explored that full arc. But as a first time listener I'm really appreciating the diverse stories Big Finish are able to tell.

I'm very excited for the future.

Bonus:

Since this is my first year getting into Big Finish I decided to publish a listening challenge on The Storygraph with certain prompts to follow that I will eventually fill as the year goes on.

I'm really impressed by all of the stories and am excited to dive into the main range, a few Destiny Of The Doctor audios and some short trips. I've really excited to delve into more Doctor Who adventures beyond the TV series. The Eighth Doctor Adventures have matched and even gone beyond the quality of the show.

Work killed me these past 4 days but I'm back to posting now. time to write an essay about my favorite character please look at her

Meet Ashkar!! She is my baby and I love her lots. Ashkar is my oldest and undoubtedly my favorite character of mine - she's like, 11 years old by now! I've grown up with this character and she's very close to me. Despite that, I don't actually have a ton of art for her x.x

Ashkar is a dragon - part of an original species I'm still working on. Except she's more than just a dragon, she's also kind of an overpowered god. When I was a kid she was a MASSIVE mary-sue but I've been trying to organize her powers and backstory into something reasonable. Binging Dragonball for 2 years straight kinda inspired me to rework her abilities. They all revolve around her role as an Overseer, a deity-like figure who protects and maintains galaxies. You could call her a guardian of the galaxy, but then the movies came out and I had to call her something else. smh marvel stole my idea /j She draws power from the cores of planets and stars in her territory, and has to keep them healthy so she stays strong. Ashkar can create and destroy planets and manipulate their cores, she has some awesome fire breath, can shapeshift, and has minor elemental and mind-controlling powers. Oh, and she's immortal.

Personality-wise, Ashkar is reckless and impulsive and loves to show off her strength. She is incredibly energetic and barely knows patience. She isn't evil - she doesn't thirst for power, or enjoy the suffering of innocents, or want dominance over the universe - but she can be selfish. Ashkar wants to be happy and find joy in life. She wants the people she cares about most - her brother Hirosian and her lover Nephaphem - to be safe and happy. But it's hard for her to feel compassion for normal, mortal beings. Ashkar has lived for millions of years and doesn't plan on dying anytime soon. She's tried caring for every living thing, tried protecting the thousands of civilizations from every perceivable harm, but it just doesn't work out. She can't save everybody. It's not her job to save everybody - her job is to make sure they don't all die, and that their planet remains stable. When danger isn't around, Ashkar is focused on simply having fun. She likes to try new things, explore new places, and meet new creatures. She likes to laugh and sing and dance and not worry about the past or what the future holds.

Ashkar can be incredibly irresponsible with her power, especially when she gets fired up, but the one person that keeps her in control is her brother, Hirosian. Despite their differences, the two are inseparable. I'll talk about him and Nephaphem in a separate post.

that was a lot x.x thanks for reading. If you have any questions about Ashkar PLEASE I would love to answer them. I could talk about her all day.

🐾 About me 🐾

Hey there! You can call me Loan, I'm a 20 year old boy looking for a place to share the stuff that I create, whether it's for a project I intend to work on for the rest of my life or just some dumb spontaneous idea.

I'm a furry, this blog isn't about that specifically but yeah maybe don't follow if you think that's cringy (cringey? idk). I will likely talk about giftedness, autism and maladaptive daydreaming every now and then since that's part of uh, my life? I also just, think a lot, not in a smart academic way but rather in a stupid this-shouldn't-be-that-deep-stop-overthinking-it way. Sometimes it's funny.

Imaginary friends: I have about eight of them in particular that I will talk about often, I'll make introduction posts for them soon.

Art: Mainly writing and drawing, I'm not a professional but you can expect to see personal projects and works as well as tips, ideas or fun games/excercises.

Stimboards/Aesthetics: Haven't made any yet, but I want to start!

Playlists: I have a lot that I made for myself but have been too shy to share, hopefully I'll start being more open with them.

Pets?: Maybe, if I ever feel like it, since I love my 2 cats and dog so much.

Random thoughts: Other things like fandom stuff, jokes, philosophical thoughts or anything in my list of interests that crosses my mind.

Nature: Mainly animals but I enjoy anything related to nature or biology. I also have a particular interest in the ocean and dinosaurs, and my favourite animals are orcas and lynxes (is that the plural form?).

[xenbiology]

Hey, Professor! Rats Anon's... Housemate's daughter, I guess, if that's how he said it before. I have some questions, re: sanctuaries, but first, I wanted to let you know that we wound up adopting a Bata!

Her name's Blue Java Nanners (my older brother helped). She has this really nice yellow shade to her hide, and... I know she can't see closers, but for some reason, whenever we set out blankets or ribbons or anything for her during those first few weeks, she'd always go for the teal ones. Maybe it's the texture, or the smell of the dye... I dunno, but, yeah. Blue Java.

We don't know a ton about her past owners, but the shelter did tell us that she was surrendered due to the usual joint problems becoming more of an issue in her old age, so, screw those guys. She's pretty shy, which was surprising, but also very food-motivated, so that's been helpful! I was worried she wouldn't recognize us as her new cast at this age, but I think the fact she knows she can rely on me for sustenance has helped a lot.

Just wanna say, thank you for teaching us about headcrabs! I would've been a lot more anxious about adopting if I hadn't had the information I do now. Honestly, I probably would've rushed into getting a Volkov, which... I still want to down the line, but I'm not ready for that responsibility yet, I think. They're my favorite breed by a long shot, and I'd like one that could help me hunt, but I would need a lot more experience to train it safely. Also, I'd want to adopt a younger one, so that bond could be formed early. That'd be difficult if I tried to do it right away.

... Anyway. Right, I had questions.

Me and some of the folks around here have been talking about setting up a sanctuary nearby for abandoned pets. Dream of all dreams, maybe some endangered Xen creatures, too, but that's... A long ways away. I've still got at least a decade before I need to worry about paying for all those delicate materials... But, the point is, the shelters in the city are flooded right now, and we want to help provide a place where those pets can stay until they're ready to be adopted out.

I'm well aware this will involve a lot of tough cases. That's to be expected with rescues; everyone has a story. We have a few experts with actual degrees and stuff; I'll be taking lessons from them. It's been pretty cool to see people showing up in town just to help with the project.

My main concern is, how can we set up an area that can house multiple different kinds of Xen fauna without them getting too close and hurting each other? My gut instinct was to just keep them in separate paddocks, but I don't know if any of them would benefit from exposure to others. I don't think we'd be ready to take on bullsquids anytime soon, but... Headcrabs, houndeyes, chumtoads, and possibly Snarks. That's the list so far.

There's plenty of open space for all of them, we just need to section things off and make sure nothing inside can get out and nothing outside (that we don't want) can get it. Aside from that, my main idea for having them interact if needed is to create a sort of pasture, where a few of them could be brought out at a time and watched closely. Think, floor time for rodents.

What do you think? Would the pasture help, or is it better to keep them all separated?

Oh! Hello again, it's nice to hear a follow up! I'm glad that everything is working out on your end, it's always fantastic to hear. Especially the fact that you got a rehomed one, which makes me quite happy.

The shyness is normal for any new crab. Batas are friendly, yes, and bred to not be skittish- but they can still be shy! Also, I love the name.

Anyway, onto your questions! This got long, so I put it beneath a cut.

Since the genetic alteration of the combine, they've lost most of that vision (which wasn't the most impressive to begin with, admittedly), due to their eyes becoming subdermal. However, they can most likely still distinguish color, so long as it's bright and vibrant. There's a chance she truly does like teal!

Now, about the rescue. It's true that many shelters are commonly swamped, and any more shelters and rescues are always a good thing- but there's some important things to keep in mind.

The biggest thing I can think of would be funding. Depending on how many animals you have, you will need space. You mentioned having lots of open space, which is wonderful for bullsquids and houndeyes; but headcrabs, snarks, and leeches are all reccomended to be kept indoors; or at least, have an indoor portion. If you want them to be kept outside, you will need very tall specialized walls and play areas where they can hide. Custom buildings are quite expensive. There is also the matter of cost of feeding, vets and medical care, funding of any staff, toys, and other miscellaneous costs. Keeping animals in an underfunded rescue where you cannot pay for good food and medical treatment is no better than not taking them in at all.

Now, back to the buildings- for headcrabs specifically, I've found that the easiest, safest, and personal favorite way to keep them en masse would be warehouse-style buildings. Think something like a large barn or airplane hanger, perhaps? You don't need it to be that big, something like the space below could house 35-60 headcrabs depending on breed, temperament, and furnishings. A building half or even 1/4th of the size would be fine if you wanted to keep smaller groups.

They are tremendously good escape artists, jumpers, and climbers- to keep them outside in a 'fenced in' area is asking for trouble.

You theoretically could do something like a large pheasant run, with something entirely screened in as well, though I find there's more advantages to the 'warehouse' option.

Firstly, though some headcrabs like sun as I mentioned, many prefer darker spaces, and are very prone to sunburn. Unless offered many shelters in an outside area, they are prone to burning.

Another is weather. Large buildings shelter them from rain, storms, snow, and temperature. Xen is a very warm dimension, and though they're fine in any temperature above freezing, they prefer to be warm and out of extreme colds. 60-88 degrees F is the best range, with around 75 as an ideal.

Another perk of this is that you can have multiple casts. If you have multiple buildings, you can separate them into social groupings where everyone gets along! If you're lucky and everyone you have gets along, you can even have tunnels connecting two buildings so they can interact, and put shift doors on them so that you can separate the buildings out if needed. This is especially true if you decide on smaller buildings. Lots of facilities have lots of medium-sized 'barns' with connecting tunnels so they can control who goes where.

For a space like this, I would put lots of climbable things; playhouses, 'cat towers', tunnels, boxes, anything that gets them jumping, hiding, and moving! Toys and such would also be important.

To introduce a new headcrab, I would have a small, screened-in box/room inside of the building to house the new crab in so they can get used to each other without being able to hurt each other.

If you still want to give them outside time, something like a connected, screened-in area is recommended instead of a fence. Something like this!

However, the biggest pro of the buildings is that it separates the species. Most of these species are predatory species, and should not be kept together without supervision, or if you know the individuals. While it might be fine for a single household to have a crab and a houndeye, it's not a great idea for a rescue. There's a lot of stress on these animals if they're getting rehomed, you wont hive time to get to know all of them personally (if you're lucky), and there won't be constant supervision.

Bullsquids will eat small houndeyes and headcrabs with little hesitation. Houndeyes, though more friendly, are more than capable of severely hurting or killing a headcrab, even through play. Not to mention the fact that headcrabs are aggressive to other species unless socialized first, which not all of your crabs might be.

So I wouldn't make a 'communal' play area- keep your headcrabs in buildings; keep your houndeyes in a large fenced-in area with an indoor access barn, and a seperate one for bullsquids, if you take them.

Chumtoads, leeches, and snarks are all tank creatures- meaning, they should generally be kept in tanks that meet their specific needs. So a large indoor area with a lot of tanks, each with their own specific needs. Like this.

None of the aformented species are particularly social (save for snarks, but only with their own species) or would benefit from an outside 'play area' with other species. If anything, they would just get eaten.

So, to ultimately answer your question- keep the species you mentioned all separated from other species, but give the houndeyes a pasture for themselves (and bullsquids their own pasture as well, if you ever take them). You can give the crabs a pasture if you really want, but the building-patio is safer and has less chances of escapees.

Of course, I would also keep another area with smaller individual rooms in case you have any special needs, sick, hostile, or otherwise unsociable individuals.

I think your idea is lovely, but once again, I cannot stress how much of a full time job this will be, as well as a big financial cost to set up. You won't be making much money from adopting creatures out, so it'll mostly be out-of-pocket, unless you can get some sort of funding or grant to get it set up (Which is possible! If you want, I can send you some links to some private companies which might be interested), and/or work mostly on volunteer hours.

Of course, don't forget to research each individual species' needs as well, as they're all unique.

I hope this all made sense, I have the tendency to ramble! If you have any questions (on this or your new friend!), feel free to ask for clarification. I'm always happy to help ���o)

Gods and monsters; Lee Felix

Genre: Demon Au! Lots of Angst

Warnings: Suggestive, Mentions of blood, Mentions of Death

Word count: 1.5K

Song recommendation: Lana del Rey gods and monsters

In the land of gods and monsters I was an angel and he was pure evil.

You were a beaming light in a darker valley, walking the streets in between creatures and monsters you had defied all laws the moment you came down to secretly meet him in the shadows.

You were still the purest angel of them all but he had driven you insane making you take such a life risk. If you were to be caught right now the gates of heaven would close immediately and you would become a fallen angel thrown into the burning flames of hell.

But here you were not giving a care as long as you kissed his lips. As long as you got a taste of the underworld from his mouth.

" Its been a while since you came to visit me angel" he whispered in your head.

With Red burning hair he was standing there at the end of alleyway hands on his pockets a cigarette on his mouth, you found it endearing the way he lit it up with his own hands just for you. He knew how much you loved the fire only he was able to create. Only he was able to ignited the fire in your veins. 

Hand in hand you both walked inside your usual secret spot.

"I've missed you" you said wrapping your arms around his neck.

And when he places his strong hands around your waist softly that's the moment heaven and hell became one.

"My sweet Angel I was dying to see your divine face again" He said as he held you tighter than ever.

"Felix this isn't right " You replied preoccupied sighing.

You knew this not so innocent encounter could cause trouble. Not only the heavens would never be able forgive you but also the demons that were after your holy blood.

" Shh..." He placed his finger on your lips. " I'm here to protect you, no one dares to get even get close to my angel"

He knew all your worries and understood them like they were his own. He could read your mind anytime with the ability of his Psychokinesis.

Felix was an extremely powerful demon. You had heard so much about him in heaven even before you actually met him.

All the angels he had killed, all the places he had burned with his bare hands. He was known as nothing but perversion.

The amount of times angels warned you about him were countless. They knew you were naive enough to fall into his trap. They said once you drink poison you become foul.

And perhaps they were right and you were just denying the truth. Blindfolded with his touch. Felix was your corruption and you knew.

" I'm no longer scared if I'm with you" You assured him trying to make all your concerns disappeared as he began to place wet kisses on your neck.

"We don't have much time Angel" He said seductively against your ear.

Lustful eyes, hunger bodies, a collision between pureness and peccancy. You were only a devotee when he devoured your lips.

You saw the stars when his hands went in between your thighs. Burning your wet core and you weren't as angelic as you produced loud moans.

Felix taught you how sweet sin tasted. Like cherries on top a bourbon cocktail.

"give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want

It's innocence lost" You said feeling sparkles inside you when he released.

His burnt hair dripping in sweat, he was lying beside you. You caressed his cheek and placed a soft kiss on his temples, His eyes began to close but before he had fallen asleep completely he said.

" I'll cross heaven and hell just for you angel" 

Head resting on his bare chest after setting fire with your bodies exhaustion took over you and you drift off to sleep next to your beloved demon.

When the morning came coldness wash over you

Opening your eyes in confusion your first instinct was to searched for Felix missing his warm heat.

But all your eyes meet was your penitence.

A room filled with Archangels all of them looking at you with shame.

And on the throne God rested looking directly into your soul.

"WHERE IS HE" You screamed falling onto your knees.

Pleading praying that he was not hurt anywhere.

" Look at how blatant she is, worrying about a demon even during her own trial" One of them said with a disgusted tone. And everyone started whispering unpleasant things about you.

" Y/N you have ridiculed the whole heavenly kingdom by infringing the rules, you had adulterer a dreadful sin that transgress all human morality but you as an Angel has gone beyond all boundaries by having intercourse with an evil being" God's most powerful Archangel spoke to you.

His words making you shiver in your place unable to speak, your mind was going crazy you couldn't even think about the situation you were caught in right now all you could think of was Felix.

" Therefore according to the sacred gods deed you will be exiled of the promised land and thrown into the burning oven underneath, your life from this moment will become your punishment suffering and misery will be all you get to experience" That was it you had caused this nonetheless you had no regrets.

"Remove her wings"  He yelled.

A multitude of angels came over to you pulling and tearing your plumes one way one.

You were unable to feel pain it was like your body was numb. When they finished the doors opened and you jumped into a free fall.

The earth opened and you went right through the Core of it

When your body touched the floor all bruised up you were surprised you hadn't broken any bones. You remained intact trying to stand up.

You walked the streets naked with blood dripping from your back. The absence of your wings made you feel empty somehow now you had to walked bared feet.

No angel was allowed in hell but now you were here cause you no longer belonged to heaven. A true fallen angel you became.

Your priority was to find Felix as soon as possible but you were disorientated, you had never been here before. Where should you begin your search?

As you were trying to come up with a plan a group of demons approached.

" Look what we have here a true angel" one of them said looking at you.

" It was easier than we thought, you came earlier than we expected" The tall black haired said making you confused.

" What are you talking about?" You asked in fear.

" Why don't you tell her Jeongin" Who seemed to be the leader talked referring to the youngest.

" I will Chan" He stepped in front of you and began to talk "we cause this, we told on you and Felix" He said smiling with those fiercely shaped eyes.

" You did what" You said lowly more like a whisper to yourself.

" It's our vengeance Felix didn't deserved the tittle of most powerful demon he didn't deserved to rank higher than any of us" The leader said with an authoritative tone.

" But we are not done yet are we Minho" Jeongin said his eyes shining in pure pernicious.

" No we are not, You are the most precious thing Felix has, so beautiful I can see how your Angelic charm makes him so weak" Minho said running his fingers through your strands of hair.

"Your blood surely has a sweet taste" The pretty face tall boy spoke again. His words making your stomach to flip.

" DON'T TOUCH ME WHERE'S FELIX" You yelled smacking his hand.

" Oh your boyfriend is not here to protect you anymore he's paying for your own sins down in the dungeon" Chan told you laughing at your terrified face.

You started to scream for his name desperately, you wanted Felix to come and save you but he wasn't even able to save himself.

" There's no worth in fighting beautiful angel, he is not going to come and there's nothing you can to stop this" Minho pulled you down on the floor. And they all surrounded you.

Your cries were heard through the whole underground.

Felix was trapped but he sensed it he felt his own soul leaving his body when he heard you scream. When he smelled your sweet blood from miles away.

He shout in pain. Bursting into tears infuriated he started a fire that began to grow rapidly on his palms.

You loved him you truly love him and now you were about to die for him and you guess that's how it's supposed to be that's only fair that a love like this couldn't last for the eternity.

Felix had lost all sanity when he lost his angel.

The fire calcined his own body leaving nothing but the ashes.

That's how the love of an angel and a devil  consummated into the incandescent blaze.

Unstoppable like the flames but certainly just as destructive.

Today this sideblog reached 411 followers.

What started out as a small sideblog where I could allow myself to share all of my thoughts and feelings about Stranger Things and avoid pestering my immediate friends and family with my obsession is now something a lot more important and meaningful to me than I ever anticipated. I've found such an imaginative, curious, creative, friendly, and empathetic community of fellow nerds here and I want to thank each and every one of you for making me feel so welcome in this tiny corner of the Stranger Things Tumblr fandom.

Let's celebrate together!

To express my ❤ for all of you, I want to invite anyone that is interested to send me the name of a Stranger Things character or creature in my Ask box, and I will create a little digital illustration of them for you. I'll keep this available to anyone that submits their Ask until tomorrow, August 18th at 11:11PM EST.

And as always: please feel free to send me Asks about my thoughts, theories, and feelings about the series at any time. I always enjoy talking about Stranger Things, and talking with other fans always makes my day. (You can message me directly anytime to chat, too!)

You are all totally tubular demodorks, and I am so happy to know each and every one of you. Thank you.
