#Owlie always with the great ideas !!!!

[nekrosmos]

Hey, what does Aedeus think of Graves' very official, tactical, and not at all slutty little throat mic?

I think the first time they see it, they would raise an eyebrow and decide here and there that he's going to keep it next time they have a moment to themselves. All he needs now is the leash to go with it :3c

Some Positivity

I'm absolutely surprised I do not have an image of my sona with a heart so Zhen will have to do it. Especially given his ‘job’

The start of the year for me has been rough. The folks who know my situation know my words are a severe understatement but I can’t let that hold me down. But it has made it abundantly clear that I am loved. 

Loved.

I genuinely have folks who love me for who am I. 

I couldn't ask for any more words than that today.

I am loved for what I am and what I do and that's all I could ever ask for. And I love myself for it.

So today, lets give out a little bit of love to some folk today. 

Edge; @casteliacityramen

I love how you are incredibly indecisive about reblogging some things on your side account. Something that means a lot to a character that someone may get a free hint on. I mean hell I used to do that all the time in my younger days to keep them on my brain to stay a little consistent on it. But man, I'm sure you've been hearing a lot from other people and honestly I'll be one of them hollering in the back about how we love Rio. 

MepersonallyIwanttoseeRaybutwe’llgetthere. 

The point is your story and characters have managed to grab people by the throat. You have an eloquent way of making them pretty relatable and gripping their attention. 

Hope you're enjoying the day with your significant other :0

Owli; @askvekpa

I always wonder if you be like “THERE GOES THIS GIRL AGAIN ASKING FOR HER DANG LUGIAS TO BE DRAWN AGAIN.” I can't help myself. You're too damn good at your craft and your attention to detail on beasties, dragons and animals alike. It's praiseworthy so I hope you always treat yourself kindly when it comes to what you do. Also, you seem to be doing better in the anxiety department, or I hope so. It's been a pleasure to see you be more interactive as of late with others so I hope you have been able to adequately spread your wings in that environment and get better.

Vega; @pokitsune

MAN I SURELY DO MISS YOU RIGHT. I HAVE SO MANY BRAINWORMS ABOUT YAKO AND ROSHI FIGHTING AND TEA TIME WITH ROSHI. Then I remember you're literally a DM away and my ass is just straight-up forgetful. I remember you chatted away about your Ninetales lore and goddamn I was eating it up. It FUELED ME to be so motivated with my characters, you have no idea. And coupled with your old ask blogs, I am so glad we started to chat last year and I am always grateful you send me images of stuff I can relate with on my characters. 

I hope you're having fun with FFXIV and I hope you and gf are doing something good today or both of you are taking some good ass time to relax.

Skins; @asksavel

I mean there are a lot of words I want to say. Overall it is always overwhelmingly positive. We were both there for each other in a horrible mental down. While mines is a bit still ongoing, you still have been sending me kind words and images to make the day all the more bearable. You noticed I have been withdrawn lately and you consider that when talking with me. 

Communication. It's something I always prized and I really appreciate it when we have chatting. Thank you so much for being the person you are and helping me. It has meant a lot to me.

Kai; @bunnkick

I'm pretty sure you weren't expecting me to do this! But HA I GOT YOU NOW TODAY. 

EVER SINCE YOU TOLD ME YOU CONSIDERED ME A FRIEND I HAVE BEEN LIKE A NERVOUS LITTLE PERSON TO CHAT MORE WITH YOU. I have been doing good to shoot messages your way to check in on you though and I'm proud of that much. Ah, I love your work man. I have been saying this for years as I have been working with you and imma saying it again, your style rocks man. And the chats we have, I love staying up for 3 hours to chat with ya. It's always a great time. 

Now I gotta hit you up for shows. I have been watching some and I always loved your insight ~

    get  to  know  the  mun  !                                                    repost,  don’t  reblog.

———  BASICS  !  ♡

(PEN)NAME  :  Owly

PRONOUNS  :  she  /  her.

ZODIAC  SIGN  :  gemini

TAKEN  OR  SINGLE  :  single potatoh.

———  THREE  FACTS  ! ♡

I adore and love you all on my dash and I am stunned at the amount of creativity lemme tell ya. 

I sometimes panic when I’m chatting with someone, because I suck at chatting and I say something silly or plain dumb and then the conversation stops and I panic more. lol Sorry, I think I lost my ability to decently make friends behind me at some point. But ilu   

I’m sure I’m an old soul stuck in a different time. :/ but who isn’t really? :P

———  EXPERIENCE  !  ♡

I  have written in different platforms thought I started in myspace, facebook rp, aol, then came around to tumblr to an RGP, which I loved to bits and then decided to go indie at the same time. Indie won and I think the RGP kinda poofed, so I remained around in indie blogs. And it’s been years tbh, I think my old first blog tumblr deleted haha. 

———  MUSE  PREFERENCE  !  ♡

i don’t know. LOL I started writing with canon muses, Doctor Who and Syfy Alice, then through a friend I started making my own ocs and boom, plenty of the muses I have currently came to life. Some vanished, plenty stayed lol. I just love connections you know? The way people’s life connect one way or another and how their influence, small or big, end up being such a great development in their lives and just... stories. Just like that word sonder, which I ached to use as url but not available XD And I love magic, as in magic magic or just the illusions and hopes. LIFE IS MAGICAL.

———  FLUFF  /  ANGST  /  SMUT  !  ♡    

FLUFF  :  I swim in fluff, but I fear my fluff might be too twee or cheesy. Slice of life fluff, dates going, cuddling with a cup of coffee/tea, paternal/maternal figures taking care of people they love, saying I love you with actions instead of words. AH !!!

ANGST  :  I’d like to say I’m good at angst? Hahaha but that might not be true. However I love angst and the struggles, the chaos, the push and pull in relationships. Things that go wrooong. Gimme.

SMUT  :  I  honestly think I suck at it, not against it, but I suck at it. LOL. There’s always the little voice in my head that goes, are we going too graphic, no? Should we go graphic? What’s a pretty word to slip in here that makes it less... raw? wHAT am I doiING? what are words? But I think intimacy between muses, maybe just discussed and not exactly written through, adds depth to the relationship :3 so that’s nice

PLOT  /  MEMES  :  I love complex plots, or like... the outline of one to know where things are going, to make the  juices flow. And I might even come up with arc tags for the relationship between our muses and find musings and go like OH THIS FITS THIS ARC. And such. But alas, idk why I’ve been struggling lately to approach people and shoot a nice plot idea, I’m trying. But if you ever wanna plot come at me :3 we can brainstorm together!  Memes, I love theeeem. I might be really slow at them or really quick. I find it’s a nice way to start something if we haven’t interacted. <3 If you ever send me one though and I haven’t replied don’t fret, I’m going to, I am just not fast sometimes ;A; <3  

tagged  by  : no one, I stole it bwahaha  

tagging  :  anyone who wants to steal it too :3

We Didn’t Start Recurring

Tim: In the Writer's Notes for WicDiv #36, Gillen mentioned "We Didn't Start The Fire" and, well, sometimes that's all it takes to have a really bad idea that turns into a writing project.

As with the original song, some of the words get a bit stretched or squashed to fit in. I've tried to indicate some of the stretched ones, and the squashed ones I'm sure you'll find when you try to read it through in your head.

And I'm sorry if this gets stuck in your head. Just imagine what it's been like for me writing it...

Exploding heads, fingercuffs, Ragnarock, Christian toughs Packs of suitors, motorcycles, A-mater-asu Dionysus, Baal Hammon, Lake Geneva, parents gone Underground, cats of sound, Laura’s feeling blue

David Blake, meat harp, Marian is great at LARP, Cassandra Igarashi, Sakhmet’s on a killing spree Lightning bolt, Twitter hordes, Valkyries with giant swords Hiroshima, neon nunchuks, Elea-nor Rig-by

We didn’t start recurring It was always turning Since before Rome’s burning We didn’t start recurring No we didn’t buck it But we almost fucked it

Dancefloor that walks like a man, hidden ketchup pentagram, Constellations, defamations, Umar’s got a beard, Gondul, Eir, Brunhilde, teenage blood getting spilled, Ananke tried to take a head, Inanna interfered

Zeitgeist, moonbeam, Beth has got a new team, Great Darkness, New Year’s Eve, Urðr loves to disbelieve Cubism, power play, Emily Greenaway Valentine, ancient shrine, I’m not fucking o-kay!

We didn’t start recurring It’s always been going With no hope of slowing We didn’t start recurring We did not request it And we’ve kind of messed it

Holloway, death bed pics, upside down dark crucifix Broken phone, setting sun, pissing off the The Morrigan Fighting Babylonian, biggest Fandemonium, Hitchhiking Cameron, Highbury & Islington

[guitar break]

Gentle Annie, pop art, giant ape eating heart Mimir, endless snark, capturing the divine spark ShinTwo, Baphomet, coffee and four cigarettes Queen of heaven, Hyde Park, snapping fingers in the dark

We didn’t start recurring It was always present Since the Fertile Crescent We didn’t start recurring We could not resist it But we wish we missed it

Mini’s wise, telling lies, holograms from Owly’s eyes Wo-den, Lon-don, Kerry’s smuggled in a gun Death in the Egyptian Wing, Tara just wants to sing Nergal, Robert Graves, twenty-seven hour-long raves Vandals, mosh pit, Prometheus Gambit Laura’s family set ablaze, feels like the end of days

We didn’t start recurring It’s always existed Please don’t get it twisted We didn’t start recurring No we didn’t choose it But we’re gonna lose it

White Goddess, finger click, candle-skinned needle dick Bacc-hus, Za-hid, Mini’s parents full of greed Ruth Clarkson wants a bite, killing cities in a night Not much chance of getting old, where’s Verðandi and Skuld?

Neptune, Aruna’s mask, Luci’s got something to ask Valhalla’s gates, circled dates, Norns untangling the fates Passion or hegemony, Destroyer or Persephone Do not trust Ananke’s tears, we’ll all be dead in two years

We didn’t start recurring It’s always existed Please don’t get it twisted We didn’t start recurring But when we are gone Will it still turn on, and on, and on, and on

We didn’t start recurring It was always turning Since before Rome’s burning We didn’t start recurring No we didn’t buck it But we almost fucked it

We didn’t start recurring It’s always been going With no hope of slowing We didn’t start recurring We did not request it And we’ve kind of messed it

headcanons                    harry       potter       edition.

she        was         born         on         july       13,      990.        to       put         it           simply,           she’s           as          old            as          hogwarts.

i.           one    of     these      days,      i’ll       have       to       write       up       the        lore      i        follow        for          vampires,      but       for        now        i        give      you        some        basic        details      :     angelika       cannot      have      children.      she        doesn’t        drink        blood        from         the         source       and         seeks        out        other          means           to         survive.      she       seeks       living        as       close       to       human      as      she        possibly      can.       she       doesn’t        burn        in          the          sunlight,       her         vampiric       abilities        are       simply        weakened,         vice       versa        she’s        at       her        most         powerful        at        night.         she         can          still          eat         human           food,          still          requires        sleep,        and        can          cry. ii.            the           main         ship          in         her            verse          is          with       @maskforged.           and         considering           i’ve         tied          a         lot       of       her         character        into        this           ship          with        owly,        it         will           probably         be          the         only       ship. iii.           she        carries        a          bubbly,        bright         demeanor,       and        serves           as           a           beacon        for           a            lot            of           her           students.           she           always            treats        them        with           kindness,         even         when          they’ve          done             wrong.          hatefulness        is       not          in         her          nature. iv.          she        teaches       history      of       magic,         however,          she        is         frequently           found         tutoring        students         in        several        different         types        of          subjects       :         potions,      is      the        major          one,       simply        because        she         knows        students       have       a        hard       time         with        approaching        snape        for         help.      transfiguration,       charms,      divination.         she’s        been        alive        for        centuries         and        has        several         lifetimes         of          knowledge,        considering         her        subject         isn’t         extremely           difficult,       she          helps        where          she          can. v.             she        began         dating         snape        during         the        triwizard       tournament.          they        actually         went           to          the          yule          as         dates       (         though           this         knowledge         isn’t           known           to        anyone      aside          from          themselves.        )          everyone        knows          that        the          two        are          rather        close,        and          are           very          good          friends.          so         seeing          them          at            the          yule         together        sparked         ideas,         but           no        one          ever          had         the         courage          to             ask         about         them. vi.             her         patronus          changed.         when         she        was         younger,        prior        to         being         unable         to           produce      it       for        sometime,          her       patronus         was         a           cat.          during        the        summer         before          ootp,         she        attempted        to         produce        one,           and          it           took        the           form           of            a              fruit            bat           instead.        based        on        the        fact         that           patronuses           are           conjured           by          recalling          happy          memories,        it           stands       to           reason          that         a           patronus            might        change         its        form       after       one          falls       in        love         and        the          memories        used       to       conjure          the           patronus         largely         revolve         around       the        person           the       caster       is        in         love        with. .          and          considering           her          feelings          for         snape,        she’s         honestly          not           that        shocked        by        it        changing        in       the        first         place. vii.            she’s       a        member        of        the         order        of         the        phoenix        and        can        be          found           at        most,         if         not       all        meetings        at        grimmuld          place         during           ootp.         viii.            right        before        the         new        term         started        (     hbp,      )        snape         calls          off        their          relationship.                           it          destroys        her.         coming         into      the        new        term,        she’s        visibly           distressed,        though        she         tries        to           keep          it          together.        it           takes       no          time        to          notice          her         absence        at       meals,       at        staff      meetings,       during       study       periods,         or         her         mental          health        declining.        she         stops         taking        care         of         herself           completely.        she         returns       after         the        holidays          with           a        new        attitude,         having          come           to         the        horrible           conclusion         that             she’s           never        getting          him          back,       and       rather        than       putting       on         a         face        of          sorrow,        she      becomes         a        little        cold.      and        by        the        end          of      the         term,          at          least        on        the          outside,       she        appears         to          have         returned          to        her          normal        self. ix.            during        the        events         of         the           deathly           hallows,       she        spends         her          time        at          hogwarts        desperately        attempting          to        provide         comfort          and         security        for       the        students.      in         her        eyes,          she            died          last         year.         she         doesn’t         care         about          what        the         carrows         do          to        her,       the         protection       of      her         students        is       more        important          than           herself.         the        number        of          fights          she         gets         in           with         the      carrows         are           endless,          and          has          ended        up        severely       injured        on          several         occasions        (        though,       being        a        vampire          prevents         her        from          dying       and     she        bounces        back         rather        quickly.        ) x.           the       battle        for        hogwarts        was         horrifying         for         her.       watching        her         students           die,         from         bumping          into        snape         again,        only        for        him          to            reveal         that       his      feelings       for       her         had          never         changed.        he        kissed           her           and           she        realized         that        all         of         this           for      the        past        two         years           have         been        a      lie.         the        risk        of           losing          him        was        too        great,        and         she           would         ultimately         tail          along        after        him,        and       witnessing          voldemort’s      vicious        attack        on     him.           she          would         save        his          life,          granting         him       the          gift         of          immortality            in         the          hopes       of         being        able          to        have          a        different           life          with        him. xi.           and           aside        from         dealing       w/       him        during        his          recovery          from         his         injuries,         she          sticks        @        snape’s           side        through        all          of          it.          with         them         officially          together,        she         returns         to       hogwarts        and          resumes           her         post,         while        also          aiding           in      the        rebuild           of            the           school.

N:Era: Where We Lie Part 3: Bio Met Tricks

Special Thanks to @KIERAL for assisting with the Pet Names and translation of Sausage.

Special Thanks to Reality TV for helping people believe in lie detectors to the present day. You're sure spreading some reality alright.

Part 3: Bio Met Tricks

The four scavenged up one of the lie detectors they bought and hooked Cyras with cables and wires, like a meatball in spaghetti. Rosod administered the test.

"Lie detecting magic is usually very unstable because the truth is not measurable or quantifiable. If I am correct, when he said biometrics, these tests account for heartbeats and sweat as measures of truth. Since you're a borderline psychopath, I'm sure you'll cheat this easily. I will ask you a question and you must tell the truth.

"I have no idea what a Psychopath is, but okay." She figured that must be something positive.

Rosod said, "Is your name Cyras?"

"Yes."

Rosod nodded. "For this next one, you should lie. The color of the sky is..."

"Purple," Cyras said.

"The graphs remain the same."

They attempted again, except with Ahmond. "Being a more nervous test subject, I suppose you'll be a bit different. So Ahmond, tell me the truth, what color is the sky?"

"Blue."

"Now tell me, while lying, the color of your house."

"Yellow."

Slight spikes in the graph.

"Now, Ahmond, tell me if any of the stories you've about Owlis threatening you are true."

"Yes."

"Huh, says this is true."

Lilu said, "Now we know that machine is fake because obviously Ahmond was making that entire story up! I doubt Owlis has enough time in her day she can make marketable plush figures and beat them on a regular basis."

Ahmond pouted. "I'm telling the truth."

Each one went in a row. Rosod performed meditation, which beat the results because she kept her heart rate at a natural rhythm. Lilu didn't even touch the machine at all, and finally, Cyras went one more time.

"Okay, Cyras," Rosod said, "Tell me your last name."

"Sumhyr."

A yellow and black coywolf walked into the shop. Vanos. Cyras' pupils narrowed while she fixated on the slender figure as a faint beeping went off.

"The lie detector test determined that was a lie," Rosod said, raising a brow. "And also a major spike in amounts of sweat and heart rate."

Ahmond jealously growled.

Cyras said, "Oh I didn't know you would be here, Vanos."

"And caught lying again," Rosod said as she got the readings.

Vanos explained, "I'm afraid I can't be here for my shift, so Ahmond, I'll need you to handle the lunch rush. The ice cream delivery got snowed in. Emergency situation."

"Ironic that ice cream is getting snowed in," Cyras said. "Tell me more."

Vanos said, "Um... Such as?"

"Such as Cyras will be coming with me." Ahmond bit the fox by the nape and dragged her away behind the counter.

Lilu said, "No matter what you hear, Lie Detectors are bogus. We just tested them."

"I sincerely doubt a few girls testing in the privacy of an ice cream shop is a perfect indictment," Vanos said, rolling his eyes before patting her on the head. "Listen, at the police prisons and everything, they have great testing, you simply must use the machine accurately."

Vanos walked off. "Make sure you handle yourself well, sosisochka."

"Now you know why I was never attracted to him," Lilu said.

"Yeah, that's one reason." Rosod put the machine back in the box.

"What's sosisochka?" Cyras asked.

"Sausage," Ahmond said.

Lilu exploded with laughter, her bellowing humor fit disturbing the other girls. "Seriously, I thought that was some way of saying 'sister’, but he was always calling you a little sausage this entire time!?"

Ahmond folded her ears against her head.

Cyras glared at Lilu, before getting back to the important matters. "We should prevent these from spreading any further and cut down on their influence."

Rosod said, "Good luck with that. They're already being implemented in our facilities, and by now, every ordinary citizen is investing in one."

"We'll spread the word at the source," Cyras said. "Part of the reason they believe in them might be because I approved of them. People could get hurt."

Lilu said, "My mom is ordering them in every prison in Sandrun. We'll convince her first. Both of you, with me, N:Era mission: Stop the liars."

With that arrangement, Team N:Era set out so they could yell at people.

Rosod sat alone. "Yeah, I'll just sit here and watch your shop Ahmond." She mimicked the Coywolf's breathy and mumbly voice. "'Oh no, Rosod, I'd rather you leave because you actually have a life’.''Oh really, but who will look after your shop Ahmond?''I think I will since that's my job which I am ditching because I can't think for myself.'

"I gotta say that Ahmond is such a nice girl, I should bail her out. My parents are wealthy. I'll tell them I need a little bit of money for a school field trip, that way they'll give me money, and I can give that money to Ahmond. And if she doesn't pay me back, then I get to hold her prisoner."

Rosod saw a camera and realized she was caught talking with herself on film.

***

Cyras shouted at random passers-by: "Stop believing in lie detectors."

As always, everyone parted way from the screaming woman. One Crimson woman even pulled away at her child and told him, "No Petun, she probably bites."

"Good going, Cyras," Lilu said, as they got further towards the palace.

Cyras was still impressed by sandstone, millions of grains of sand compacted together. In a way, this structure was more clever than Owlis'.

They made their way through the palace halls, however, Cyras noticed one guard was giving her a glare. "Who's that?" she muttered.

Cyras flashed back to the first time she entered the palace, when she chained a guard outside in between stones, even trapping his muzzle. Lilu later told her how desert nights were stunningly freezing.

"His name is Karv," Lilu said, "He did not forget you."

Ahmond said, "Yet you wonder how Owlis can hold a grudge against me."

"Yeah," Lilu admitted. "I'm still upset you called me fat." They turned a corner towards the eastern wing of the palace, past white and gold tapestries.

"You laughed at Sosiska."

"Well pudgy puppy," Lilu said, "maybe when Owlis smacks you, the paddle will just bounce off."

"Not funny!" Ahmond whined.

As they reached the throne room, the sound of a screaming middle-aged woman filled the chamber. "I don't want my guests thinking we don't care about proper order here, so when I look around, there are no mints on pillows, I get so angry. Everyone will think we're a set of uncivilized, uncouth, Wilders-Oh, Cyras."

Cyras gave a half-lidded look.

Lilu said, "Mom, lie detectors aren't good, and we all tested them out. They're highly inaccurate."

Jazmyn narrowed her eyes. "I find that fascinating. So you wouldn't care if you took a test and I asked you a few questions."

"Actually, I do care."

"I don't see what the problem is or what you're gonna hide from me unless you have something you don't want me knowing about."

"I do."

"Is this something like 'I plan on usurping my mother for the throne'?" Jazmyn asked with a faint smile, her eyebrows lowered.

"No."

She giggled, her smile trying to be convincing, but the skin was so taut and stressed she was clearly being aggressive and dominant. "Then I don't see why you can't tell me."

Lilu froze, glanced at Cyras, off-put. Assuring her, the apparent troublemaker at the helm said, "I'll test them first, then Lilu can test them."

"Fair enough."

A few minutes later, Cyras was in the dungeon, hooked up.

Jazmyn said, "Here's my first question, how about you tell me what my daughter talks about when I'm not with her."

Cyras glared and said, "My next sentence is true. My last sentence was false."

The machine blew up.

Jazmyn hacked in the smoke as Lilu guided them towards a door. Inside, was a hallway within the walls.

Ahmond said, "I've never been here before."

Lilu said, "This is the servant's hallways. There are all these secret corridors so they can move around without Mom ever having to see them."

Ahmond muttered, "This is how she sees the lower class." Most of the walls were carpeted instead of being brick, that way Jazmyn couldn't hear anyone either.

Cyras said, "Great, Jazmyn and Vanos are stubborn and under the spell, and for all we know, so is Owlis."

"No, she'll listen," Ahmond said. "I was picked as the first member of Team N:Era for a reason, and if she hears this from me, she'll trust me."

Cyras stared into her eyes. "I'll protect you, please, believe me."

As Ahmond stared into Cyras' blue eyes, the coywolf's brows flickered. "Okay."

***

At Lavandar, the capital of Wysdom, they came upon the garden of the Empress. This time, Cyras took a potato.

"Owlis pronounces these Poh-Tah-toe, but I call them Poh-Tay-Toe because I like that better," Cyras said. In the Wilds, she didn't see many vegetables, much less poh-tay-toes and care-rots.

"I thought the name was Poh-tuh-toe," Ahmond admitted, earning a weird look from Lilu. "We didn't have them on Ralax Islands, and I only found out when I moved out here."

Lilu said, "Please tell me what you think fries are made out of."

They went in through the back door, walked up the stairs, up towards the balcony. Acrophobic Ahmond clung by the shoulder of Cyras, as they went towards Owlis' room.

Lilu knocked three times gently. As Owlis opened the door, Cyras pounced at the Empress, who returned the gesture by flipping Cyras over onto her tailbone.

The sequence repeated, with Cyras dropping on her back and bucking at Owlis, but Owlis slapped her feet, then headbutted her punch. Finally, Cyras charged again, but Owlis scooped her arm underneath the shoulder and arm dragged her to the floor.

"This is not working in your favor," Owlis told her, shaking her head.

"I can be way faster than you and you know that," she told the older fox.

"Lightning beats fire in speed, so I highly doubt that," Owlis said. "I do grant you're getting almost slightly better." She kissed Cyras on the forehead. "Oh, may I ask why the company?"

Lilu said, "We have some news Your Imperial Majesty, turns out Lie detectors are totally whack."

Owlis narrowed her eyes.

Ahmond told her, "Miss Imperial Highness Owlis, we tested them ourselves and know for sure they are garbage."

With a flick of her tail, the Empress said, "I've had my suspicions, and over my 6000 years I've never met a device quite like them, nor do I believe in them. My vulnerable yet dependable subject, I trust you."

"So you can shut them down?" Cyras asked.

"Oh Celestial Heavens no. If someone is planning on selling snake oil and others are buying this up thinking this will cure their cancer, that's not anything I can really influence, outside of introducing new laws, and that's really a process. If I was able to stop everyone here from doing stupid things, we wouldn't have annexed Sandrun."

Cyras' face fell. "I thought you had absolute power. I thought you were the Alpha!"

"You're the only one who says Alpha actually."

"People are getting scammed," Cyras said.

"I can only make sure that people aren't employing the product in the judicial systems but if this is advertised as a toy for fun then there's nothing I can do. You'll need some hard evidence."

"I'll get information from Rosod," Ahmond said.

"Will you also get money?" Owlis asked.

No response. Lilu and Cyras sighed at the sudden void where Ahmond was.

***

Rosod sat at her desk, one with only a lone light, the drapes pulled in, the television on in the background. She sat upright, cracked her knuckles on one fist with her thumb.

With a phone against her shoulder, she said, "Hey, Scarla, lemme tell you something. Those lie detectors are total shams."

As she did this, she dipped a feather in some ink and began writing on a blank piece of paper. Another slip sat beside, a field trip permission form she kept but she never attended the event because of... personal reasons. Regardless, this reference served her while she duplicated the letters.

"I think this should serve as a perfect replicate."

A news anchor Crimson came on her television. "And in today's news, we've heard about how one company has used the lie detector to figure out about snitches and spies. In fact, popular mascot for Pengin's Pizza Chain, a Twayt named Pengin, was found out as a spy. So the owner of the company had her tarred, feathered, and beheaded."

The news program showed several employees forcibly ripping the costume's head off of a dire wolf before they began throwing tar on the costume. And then they threw the costume's own feathers on top.

Rosod said, "Oh, that's not great."

Soft Bite 2// Vampire Shawn

Original Oneshot “Soft Bite”

|Masterlist|

It’s the middle of the afternoon and you find yourself napping on Shawn’s couch while he was doing some sort of sound mixing for work in his bedroom. It’s one of those naps where your heart slows down and you’re super warm. You’re not entirely asleep but not quite awake. It’s a strange type of nap. Time passes so quickly, you feel like you’ve just closed your eyes when you hear something move beside you and open them to find Shawn sitting on the floor beside the couch.

“What’re you doin’ bud?” you ask sleepily. You rub your eyes and yawn real big.

“Your heart rate dropped and so I came to check on you,” Shawn says as he reaches out to pet your hair back. “That probably sounds weird huh?”

You chuckle. “If I didn’t know you were a vampire, then yes, it would.”

“I’ve been thinking...” Shawn starts but trails off, eyes wandering to the other side of the room. He looks troubled, like the words were escaping him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong.” He shakes his head and grabs your hand. “I’ve been thinking about the other day when you were over and you let me taste you.” You raise your eyebrows, knowing he had just had lunch before you came over. He couldn’t possibly be hungry could he? “I was wondering if you would be willing to donate blood that I could just have any time?”

“Oh,” you says softly as you squeeze his hand in yours. “I don’t think that’d be a good idea. What if you end up only wanting my blood? I can’t give you as much as you need every day.”

Shawn nods in understanding. He knew you were right. He knew the risk of having one person’s blood too many times a week. It would become a preference, an addiction, if he wasn’t careful. It was best that he just stuck to his pouches from the banks.

“If you’d like a taste every now and then I don’t mind,” you smile and his face lights up. “Do you have a prefered place to bite someone?”

“I’ve never bitten anyone before,” he says sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’ve never had the need to. I’ve just always had my pouches, but I hear there are some really good spots.”

You sit up, putting your legs over the edge of the couch and he shifts so he’s kneeling between them and you put your hands into his messy hair. It looks like he’s been running his own hands through it quite a bit. “Tell me about these good spots,” you giggle and he lolls his head forward as you begin to scritch his scalp.

“Uhh...umm...” he struggles to focus and you push his head back so he’s looking up at you. You give him a pressing look. “I’ve heard the inner thigh is real good,” he says and drops his head out of your grasp and mouths at your thigh. Heat flows through you as he looks up at you through thick lashes and smiles, fangs caught around your thin cotton sweatpants.

“Easy there,” you chuckle and he kisses his way up and over your thigh to your waistband.

He straightens up and wedges himself completely between your legs, making you spread them open for him. He leans forward and kisses your neck, fangs pressing gently against the tender skin between your throat and collarbone. “The neck is obviously a classic,” he says against your skin and you grip his hair in case you have to pull him away. “Are you scared?” he asks as he peppers your neck with little kisses.

“I trust you. You know that.”

“But are you scared?”

“A little.”

Shawn pulls back and cups your face, thumbs smoothing over your cheeks sweetly. “I’d never bite you without your consent. I wouldn’t even prick your skin for a taste unless you approved.” You nod and he pulls your face forward for a kiss. His fangs have retracted and he bites your lip playfully with his normal teeth before soothing it with his tongue. “I promise I’ll never hurt you.”

Two weeks later you find yourself at the mall with Shawn who hadn’t eaten lunch before you left. You had grabbed a burger from the food court and ate it and some fries while Shawn browsed a shop nearby, saying that he was still looking for the perfect gift for you for Christmas. You didn’t mind eating alone, it wasn’t anything that bothered you and you knew Shawn got bored sitting there watching.

So when Shawn started getting a little owly and rolling his eyes at everything you pick up as a suggestion for his mother’s christmas present, you confront him about it. “Shawn. What’s wrong with you?” you sigh as you hang a sweater up a little more forcefully than absolutely necessary.

“Nothin’? I’m fine.”

“You’ve dissed everything I’ve suggested for the last hour over the course of three shops. What is going on?” Shawn doesn’t reply and just sort of fidgets with a shirt on a nearby rack he isn’t even interested in. He picks it up and looks at it and you know he’s just doing it to hopefully change the subject. “Shawn...you’re out of sorts. Please...” you lay your hand on his arm and he looks at you. He almost looks like he’s going to be sick.

“I’m hungry. I didn’t eat lunch before we left. This mall doesn’t have a place for vampires and I know it.”

“Ohh,” you look around and step closer, lowering your voice as to not attract any attention. “I mean, how long has it been since you fed?”

“Maybe five this morning?”

“Shawn!” you whisper in a chastising tone.  

Shawn looks down and closes his eyes. He knows he shouldn’t have gone so long and that he should have eaten long before you left the house. “I know, I was just distracted by you and gift shopping...I sort of forgot.”

You grab Shawn’s hand and lead him toward the dressing room. You grab a couple of shirts off a rack on the way and ask the clerk for the little item number to hang on the door. She hands you a little plastic card with a 5 on it and you drag Shawn into the dressing room and close the door.

“What are you doing?” he asks as you hang the shirts up on the back of the door and start peeling your top off. “You didn’t even look at those shirts. What are you-”

“You’re going to eat,” you say as you drop your shirt on the little bench along the wall. You put your hands on your hips and stand there in front of him in only your bra. “C’mon, bite me.”

Shawn takes a hesitant step forward. “But I’ve never bitten anyone. What if I do it wrong?”

“You just have to bite and suck, it’s not rocket science.”

He runs his hands up your sides and you shiver at his touch. “Where do you want it?” he asks and you shake your head, not wanting to be picky. “Do you want it where everyone can see it, or where only I’ll see it.”

“Where only you can see it.”

Shawn ducks his head and kisses down your neck.and across your shoulder. “You’re sure?” he asks again. You nod and he places kisses down your chest and across your breasts before he drops down on his knees in front of you. He holds your hips and looks up at you, mouth open slightly and showing off his fangs.

“If it hurts, tell me.”

“Of course.”

He leans forward and licks over you hip. He kisses up and down your side, pulling you close as he nuzzles your skin softly. He takes his time, licking and sucking at the fleshy bit of skin just above your hip bone. It tickles and you run your hand through his hair as you let out a little giggle that gets a look from him. You just smile and he goes back to what he was doing.

The moment his fangs press against your skin and you feel them puncture you let out a little yelp. It hurts like someone giving your four little needle pricks at once. Shawn freezes and you scritch his scalp, signalling that you were fine. The pain subsides and Shawn laps at your skin eagerly as the blood drips from the small holes in your side. You look down but you can’t actually see any blood, just Shawn’s mouth pressed against you. His tongue is warm as it works over your sensitive skin and you close your eyes, focusing on his hands running up and down the backs of your legs.

It’s ten or so minutes before Shawn pulls away and helps you to take a seat on the bench seat. He squats down in front of you and brushes your hair out of your face. “You alright?” he asks and you nod. You felt like you could use a nap but you didn’t feel bad otherwise.

“Are you good?”

Shawn nods, licking his lower lip. “I’m good, but you don’t seem so great. I think you were dehydrated before I started. That’s not good.” He helps you get your shirt on and lifts you up. You yawn big and lean against him, insisting you’re fine. “We’re going home.”

You grumble and he gives you a look as the two of you walk past the fitting room clerk with polite smiles, dropping the shirts off in the return cart. “But I have to buy your mom a present,” you protest but he isn’t having it.

“Home. Now.”

“I’m sorry, I should have drank more water.”

Shawn pulls you close with an arm around you as you head for the exit to of the mall. “You didn’t do anything wrong. I shouldn’t have been so greedy.” He drops a kiss on your head and you lean against his shoulder. “Let’s get you home and rested and then we can worry about my mom’s present.”

[ink-imp-archived]

Name: Nickname: Owly Age: 17 Faceclaim: I’m not very consistent with my faceclaims, and I don’t use them often, but they usually tend to be an owl of some sort. Pronouns: She/They Height: I’m not even sure myself at this point (Haven’t been measured in forever).  Birthday: 24th July Aesthetic: Space, Coffee-shops, Autumn, Halloween Last song you listened to:  CRX -Broken Bones

Favourite muse(s) you’ve written: It’s a tough choice between Bendy and Gaster, but ultimately I’d have to say Bendy. I liked playing Gaster since there wasn’t a lot of canon information to go with save for a name and a very vague backstory, so I got to be creative with my portrayal. But that kind of became an issue at times because I often found myself feeling lost, and it could be quite hard to get inspired to write him. (Not that I don’t have fond memories of playing as him! He’ll always be my first ‘serious’ muse, and I do wanna get back into writing him again sometime.)

Bendy on the other hand, while there is still a lot that’s up in the air about him in canon, has much more for me to work with. I still get lost and insecure sometimes, but it’s much easier to rekindle my muse. Plus he’s just so much fun to write! He’s kind of got a good balance of canon material and creative freedom which makes for some interesting results.

What inspired you to take on your current muse (that you are posting this on): I remember finding the game when it had just recently come out and being blown away by the creativity of it. I’m a huge horror junkie anyway, but I think what did it for me was the whole vintage-cartoon aesthetic. Something about it just really clicked with me.

What actually inspired me to make a blog though was this fan song, which I think was one of the first BATIM fan-songs made when the first chapter came out? Either way, I listened to it a few times and kind of created this blog in a spur-of-the-moment type thing. After that I just found I really liked writing him.

What are your favourite aspects of your current muse: I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like playing with the whole concept of a cartoon in real life, especially the rather horrific implications of such a thing. Like, could you imagine the sort of carnage that would occur if cartoon-logic or plot was applied to real life? The only reason slapstick comedy is funny in the first place is because it’s not real. 

In terms of Bendy’s actually character though, I like the whole idea of him being at a strange halfway point between a child and an adult. He’s definitely intelligent and usually quite independent, but he still throws tantrums and stubbornly ignores problems he doesn’t want to deal with.

He’s not like a teenager exactly, more like a really immature adult who’s ruled by his emotions. It’s great fun to write.

What’s your biggest inspiration when it comes to writing: I tend to daydream a whole lot while I’m doing mundane tasks and stuff, which is generally how I figure out what I want to reply with. It can be a bit of an issue though if I’m very inspired for a thread, because then I tend to zone out while I really shouldn’t be.

Favourite types of threads: Angst or Fluff. I’d say I prefer Angst out of the two, but the real good shit is when you combine them.

Biggest struggle in regards to your current muse: I often compare myself to other writers, either for the same muse or similar ones, and I can’t help but feel my portrayal is a little lacklustre. Same with my art and stuff, though I’ve tried to turn that into motivation to improve.

♣️ ((tiny-blue-sports-elf))

Reaction To Your Muse: Discovering Mine Crying.

The piano keys would have shattered with the sheer force she played them with if Rottenella had been any more enthusiastic. Emotions ran on high voltage as she recited the fast-paced && frenzied words to yet another original song, one that she’d endeavoured to keep under wraps from being heard by anyone else. Little did she realise of the doorway introducing a second figure to the room as she was playing.

❝It is traditional, it is inherited, predisposition-all day I’ve been wondering what is inside of me, who can I blame for it, I say it runs in the FAMILY, this famine that carries me to such great lengths, to open my heart up to anyone who’ll have me, it runs in the FAMILY, I come by it honestly - do what you want, ‘cause who knows, it might fill me up - !!❞

Her melodies were wild, her ideas chaotic, lyrics disorderly; nothing akin to the fluid motion of her dancing. She performed with the irregularity of a madwoman, but it was strangely evocative && not at all resembling the usual encouraging, peppy songs generally heard in LazyTown.

❝Well - I’m well - well, I mean, I’m in Hell - well, I still have my health - at least, that’s what they tell me - if wellness is this, what in Hell’s name is sickness - but business is business, and business runs in the FAMILY, we tend to bruise easily, bad in the blood - I’m telling you ‘cause I just want you to know me, know me && my FAMILY, we’re wonderful folks - but don’t get too close to me ‘cause I might knock you out - !!❞

All the pent up emotion, the expression she never let loose with the perfect vagueness of her usual disposition seemed to erupt all at once in the unrestrained madness of her performance, a rare glimpse in to the clockwork girl’s innermost self, all persona ripped away, only leaving raw && unpretended emotion. Without even realising she was crying, she splashed the keys with tears as her melody went on.

❝Mary, have mercy - now, look what I’ve done - but don’t blame me, because I can’t help where I’ve come from, and running is something that we’ve always done, well - and mostly, I can’t even tell what I’m running from - run from their pity, from responsibility, run from the country, and run from the city - I can run from the law, I can run from myself, I can run from my life, I can run in to debt, I can run from it all, I can run ‘til I’m gone, I can run for the office, and run from the cause - I can run using every last ounce of energy, I cannot - I cannot - I cannot run from my FAMILY, they’re hiding inside of me, corpses on ice - come in, if you’d like, but just don’t tell my FAMILY, they’d never forgive me, they’d say that I’m crazy, but they would say anything if it would shut me up - !!❞

It was true to say she was unhinged - right up until the very last note when she seemed to finally stop for breath, slo-o-owly coming back around to composure. When she regained regularity to the pace of her breaths, Rottenella glanced up from the monochrome pattern of the piano keys, only for her breath to hitch, once more, when she noticed the hero watching her from the sidelines. Oh, there was the rage of a thousand warriors inside her glare. ❝What are you DOING IN HERE - ??❞ she demanded, slamming her hands down against the keys, the action sounding out an awful clang as she rose suddenly from her seat behind the instrument, fury ablaze. Nobody was supposed to hear that. Nobody was supposed to know how she felt. Frustration peaked, she let out an incensed growl as she kicked the leg of the instrument, feeling exposed. Vulnerable. Pathetic.

{{Original Song: Amanda Palmer - Runs In The Family. I would suggest you watch this, if you wanna get the gist.}}
