I had this idea that when the paladins are really connected to their lions and they’re in mortal danger or something, the lion can actually take over the paladin. This would only be in dire situations as the rush of quintessence from the lion would do irreversible damage to the paladin, but would save them (or someone else) from certain death. Of course I used Lance as a basis for this, because he’s the paladin I know how to draw best, and the Red-Blue double channeling looks cool. Being a puppet for two lions at the same time would probably kill him though. I also couldn’t decide on the regular white armor or a blackout version.

I was thinking something like this:

The paladins are infiltrating an Empire land base and got split up. Lance and Allura got caught up with a ton of sentries but were able to destroy them and are headed back to the Green Lions as per pidge’s instruction, when out of a corner comes (Insert Galra character). They are forced to fight more, but are already exhausted from the dozens of sentries prior. During the fight, Allura gets harmed enough to be down for the count, leaving an angry Lance to deal with their opponent. In his desperation, exhaustion, and rage, the Red Lion takes over. The next thing Lance knows is that he’s waking up from a pod and falling into Hunk’s arms. The team congrats him on his bayard upgrade, but Lance has no idea what they’re talking about. They claim he was shifting his bayard fluidly mid fight and was able to use their bayard forms as well. Lance denies it, saying at one moment he was fighting with his broadsword, the next he was waking up in a pod. They spend the next few quintants trying to figure out what happened, why Lance’s armor is now red and blue tie-dye (But normal white with no stars), and why Lance has burned-in lines under his skin.

I have way too much time on my hands but I hope you all enjoy it 😂. I’ll probably draw the side effects next week because I’m going on vacation this weekend. It’s my sister’s birthday and we’re going to Disney to meet her and spend it with her. I’m so excited! I’ve been to Disney A TON but I could never get tired of it. One time in September 2020, y’know, covid, my dad got us a week stay at one of the resorts and my brother and I did our online school from the hotel rooms. Even though we didn’t do any parks, it was still a great ‘stay-cation’. Disney holds a lot of nostalgia for me and my family, so every trip is another addition to the memory book. Okay, okay, I’ll stop with the Disney stuff now. Hope you all liked my idea!

Writing prompt, if you're ever feeling up for it:

I desperately need part 2 to that Aether/Dew/Aurora quintessence ficlet. The size difference between everyone has me gnawing at the bars of my enclosure /pos -🌌

Ghostober Day #17: Size Kink

Much thanks to @kroas-adtam for putting Ghostober together <3

Pairing: Aether/Dew/Aurora

Aurora bites off a little more than she can chew, but Aether and Dew work her through it. A direct continuation to this fic.

Explicit, 2k. Contains quintessence use/quintosis, size kink, belly bulge, and praise kink.

"Oh, sweetheart," Dew coos, running his blunted claws through Aurora's sweat soaked hair. He glances past her to where the light pools out of the bathroom, waiting for Aether to finish washing up. "You're in for it."

He watches Aurora's eyes go wide, pupils sluggishly dilating big and black as the quintessence makes it harder for her to process. She's floating, and if Dew focuses, he can almost feel the static where he pets her hair.

Dew's laid on his side next to her, pressing soft kisses to the side of her face as her chest heaves, coming down from her first orgasm. How many Aether will wring from her little body is anyone's guess.

He pulls her a little closer, tucking her into the curve of his body and letting his thumb smooth over the ridge of her hipbone. "You thought I felt big, pretty girl?"

Aurora turns her head, the tip of her nose brushing against Dew's. "Mhmm," she hums, drunk on endorphins and Aether's quintessence. Dew smiles, eyes crinkling genuinely. He tucks a strand of bubblegum pink hair behind the feather tuft on the point of her ear.

"Oh, pretty girl, he's gonna wreck you."

Aurora lets out a concerned noise the same moment the bathroom light flicks off.

"Now, darling, what exactly am I going to do?" Aether says, finishing up drying his hands and tossing the towel back on the rack.

Dew props himself up on an elbow, meeting his mate's eye with a mischievous look on his face. "Rory thought I felt big inside her. You're going to wreck her."

Aurora mewls, tucking her face into the crook of Dew's shoulder. But Aether shakes his head, looming over the two of them where they're sprawled out in his and Dew's hearth. "Not going to wreck my mote, sweet girl."

She peers up at him curiously, and Dew gets a good look at the violet quintessence swirling through her dark green eyes. He keeps petting her hip as Aether looms, reaching down and cupping her face in one big palm.

Aurora lolls into it, chirping happily as his thumb smooths over her cheek. "Aeth," she whines, sweet and melodic. "Need you."

Dew chuckles, nosing at her hair and taking a deep breath of sweet strawberries and lavender. "Oh, I wasn't enough for you, Rory? You need my mate to fuck you too?" he teases, spindly fingers finding the soft swell of her breast and toying with the barbell running through her nipple. She lets out a soft noise, body jolting as he plays with the pink gem on the end.

Aether clicks his tongue, softly chiding him. "Don't tease her, darling," he hums, voice a low rumble that rushes through both of them.

Dew turns from mouthing at her gills to stare up at Aether as he looms over the two of them. "Aw, come on, Aeth. You love playing with mine."

He chuckles again before turning back to Aurora. Aether smooths the pad of his thumb over her cheek again, staring into her eyes, irises swirling with magick. "Oh, you're drunk on it, aren't you, mote?"

Aurora's breath hitches, and Dew knows the staticky feeling running through her nerves. He runs the tip of his nose along the shell of her ear. "Color, sweetheart?"

She tears her gaze away from Aether's intense gaze, turning until her nose brushes against his. "So green, Dewey," she says, breath hitching.

"If the magick's too much, he'll ease up on it, all you gotta do is say the word," Dew promises, his hand drifting until it rests on her sternum. "Snap if that's too hard."

Aurora hums, nodding slightly, and Dew watches the violet sworls of quintessence dance around her deep grey-green irises. Her fingers worry at her claws, and Aether steals her attention once more, taking one of her tiny hands in his and pinning it gently to the mattress. Dew groans softly in her ear at how his dwarf hers.

Aether's other hand smooths down Aurora's stomach until he's petting through her curls, damp with her slick and Dew's cum. She lets out a soft little gasp, back arching. Dew kisses at her temple, holding her to the bed gently.

"I got you all ready, pretty girl," he whispers as Aether hitches one of her legs up around his waist. "Aeth's gonna take care of you. You're gonna smell like us for a while, Rory. We've got our claim on you now, fucking you in our bed."

"O-oh," Aurora gasps, stiffening in Dew's arms as he props himself up on one elbow, tucking his arm under her head so she can glance down to where Aether's looming between her legs. The entire room smells of carbon and lavender and caramelized sugar.

Dew watches Aether notch himself at her entrance, her folds puffy and wet with slick and Dew's own cum. He feels more than hears her breath hitch, and Dew cups one of her pert little breasts with spindly fingers. "We've got you, sweet girl. Just feel. He's so much bigger than you," he coos in her ear, ducking down to lick a wet stripe over her gills.

She keens, the sound cut off as Aether pushes inside of her. All three ghouls groan, Dew pressing a kiss to her temple. "Oh, that's it, pretty girl. He's so big, isn't he?"

Aether grunts as her pussy squeezes him, glowing purple eyes darting up from where their bodies had joined. "Good girl, mote, you're doing so good," he groans, digging his fangs into his bottom lip as he holds back. Dew recognizes the tension in his spine, knows he's holding back from just slamming into her warmth.

Dew runs his thumb along the underside of her breast, cooing softly in her ear. "Need you to relax, sweetheart, I know he's big. Just breathe for me, ladybug."

Aurora nods, eyes darting a little slowly from Dew at her side to Aether above her and back. Her narrow chest heaves a little shakily, and both of them whisper soft things, petting at her skin in an effort to get her to relax. She squeezes Aether's hand, lacing their fingers together. "Think 'm ready."

Aether smiles boyishly, leaning down to give her a sweet kiss. "Hold on then, mote," he says, starting to move almost glacier slow inside of her. With his quintessence amplifying absolutely everything, she gasps at even the slightest friction.

Her moans are sweet when Dew tastes them on her lips, Aether's quintessence crackling like static between them on a dry winter day. "Just feel, Aurora," Dew coaxes, hand still warm on her breast. Every so often he flicks at her jewelry just to feel her gasp on his lips.

She listens to Dew. Feeling is about all she can do, stretched thin between the quintessence and the thick cock stretching her open, feeling each barbell that lines the underside press unyielding against her walls. Her entire body trembles with feeling.

Aether's pace doesn't falter, slow, even thrusts into her, with the patience and steadiness of a rhythm section musician that might only be rivaled by Mountain. Dew's always been a little jealous of how much control he has.

But that's not important now. With his hand on her breast, Dew can feel her pulse fluttering like a bird against her ribcage, the hot puffs of breath from her gills and her lips. He kisses her temple, tastes the salt of her sweat. "It feels so good, doesn't it?" he whispers into the shell of her ear. "He fills you up so good, doesn't he?"

Aurora gasps, eyelashes fluttering against her cheeks at his words. Aether hits something sensitive inside of her and it's only amplified by the quintessence coursing through her body. "So fucking good, oh Lucifer," she almost hisses, one hand held to the mattress in Aether's, and the other clinging to Aether's broad shoulders. Later, Dew will lick along the raised red lines she leaves there.

"Yeah?" Dew laughs warmly, squeezing her perky little tit in his hand. "Unholy Master, he fills me up just right," he whispers in her ear, trailing the tip of his crooked nose along the shell. "And you're so much littler, ladybug. Oh, he must feel massive."

She whines sharply, fat, overwhelmed tears rolling down her cheeks, and she must squeeze around Aether because his careful rhythm falters, head dropping down to kiss her. It's more consumption than it is a kiss, and Dew knows his mate well enough to know that all of this is getting to him too.

Aurora's back arches up off of the bed, her sharp fingernails digging into Aether's shoulder, and Dew doesn't have to be quintessence to know she's close. He lets go of her breast, Aurora too distracted with trying to kiss Aether back to protest, Dew lets his hand skate down her sternum, on route to play with the little barbell threaded through the hood of her clit.

But on his way down, he stops suddenly, tensing up against Aurora's side, his soft cock twitching hard against his hip. "Oh, Lucifer, Aether," Dew groans. Next to him, they both break the kiss, panting and lips slick with spit.

"What?" Aether asks, his chest heaving as he catches his breath, Aurora faring no better.

"Gimme, Aeth, give me your hand," Dew says, head spinning so hard he thinks he might black out. Aether raises an eyebrow but complies with his mate. Dew drags his hand down the same path he had taken, and he knows when Aether feels it because his hips jolt forward and he moans long and low in his chest. Aurora lets out a soft cry as he thrusts hard into her, blinking up with confused surprise.

"Fuck, mote," he groans, dropping his head to rest his forehead against hers. "You're so little I can feel my cock inside you."

He presses down on her belly, just above her hips, and Dew watches her eyes roll back into her head. Aurora's orgasm must trigger Aether's, because the little bulge under their palms kicks and his hips stutter, groaning loud in between them.

It takes a while for Aether to come down, Aurora still lost in pleasure and Aether's quintessence, fluttering around him. Dew pets through her hair, his hand leaving her belly to turn her face gently to him. "You took it so well, pretty girl," he whispers, watching the quintessence swirl in her eyes as Aether recovers. "Like a champ."

Her lips quirk up in a tiny smile, and he kisses the tip of her nose before he turns to watch his mate for a moment. Dew's eyes track a bead of sweat rolling down the side of Aether's forehead before dripping off of his cheek.

Aether's grip on Aurora's wrist loosens, shifting until their fingers are intertwined. Her hand is swallowed by his. "So good for us, sweetheart," he murmurs, voice low, the tone of comfort that he uses on Dew's bad nights. "Such a good girl, that's it, float for a little while."

Just for a split moment, Aether turns away from her to kiss Dew, soft and chaste on the lips. He tucks a strand of sweaty copper hair behind Dew's ear. He smiles, leans up to nuzzle at Aether's cheek. There's a little scruff there.

"Starshine, she's not gonna come down until you let her go," Dew says, laughing lightly. He can feel her muscles quivering under her skin. Aether nods, presses gentle fingers to her temple, and unravels his quintessence.

Clarity slowly comes back to Aurora's eyes, the purple fading out and leaving just a deep grey green. She sucks in a breath like she's just surfaced the water. "Fuck," she gasps. She sounds exhausted and fucked out, but she's grinning.

"Hey, princess," Aether says, petting her cheek. "How're you feeling?"

"Lucifer fucking Below," she laughs, bright and clear like windchimes. "We are so doing that again."

Mountain whose unglamoured form is so large it’s almost beyond comprehension.

Mountain who is still so tall while glamoured but it’s the smallest he can comfortably make himself for such long periods.

Mountain, who is made to shrink himself by Omega. Still larger than most of his pack but now much smaller than Omega.

Omega filling him with quintessence, forcing him to glamour himself small enough for Omega to look down his nose at him. To make him feel like he’s in trouble. And maybe he is, but he secretly loves it. Will never say out loud how much he appreciates how small and unimportant Omega makes him feel.

Mountain who loves being manhandled like a toy. Dressed up like a doll. Shrunk down and reshaped however Omega sees fit to bring himself pleasure.

[plaquerat]

What is it about quintessence that makes it different? :0 I'm not really familiar with the elemental stuff in Ghost. I know which ones are which, but not why or anything...

so the ghouls are based on classical elements, that being earth, fire, air, water, quintessence. i don't think there's really much of a reason in actuality aside from like. occult theming etc.

that said, let's talk about quintessence as a whole. this is also called aether, or just the fifth element. whereas the other four are earthly, this element describes concepts like vacuum and heaven. The word aether comes from Greek, and means "pure, fresh air" or "clean sky." It related to words meaning to incinerate or shine. So the element differs from air in that it isn't earthly. It's heavenly, made of space and stars and the air gods breathe. There's also luminiferous aether (ether), which is an old hypothesis referring to the medium through which light moves.

In alchemy, quintessence once again refers to the element thought to make up heavenly bodies. It's also related to elixers, medicine, and the Philosopher's stone. This is where idea in the fanbase about it being used for healing likely come from.

So generally, I think it's different due to its associations. It exists outside of the earthly elements, though is present in life as a force. I think of quintessence ghouls as important to their respective papa, in one way or another. Possibly less common in general, given the stated differences. As I'm thinking of it, element transition from an earthly element to quintessence could be possible, but more difficult and may take more of a toll on the ghoul going through it.

Weirdest thing about going through and rewriting aspects of the story of V:LD was finding out real early on in order to move forward doing anything, me and my friend had to actually reestablish what the fuck Quintessence even was and how it worked.

Cause apparently its life force, the force tm starwars, healing magic, the spirit of space lions, ship fuel, radiation from meteors and transdimensional portals and everything in between??? And is also just called "the fifth essence" essentially

Like I'm aware soft magic systems are things, but even while watching the show, this was confusing in a way that felt unnecessary

Imagine being somewhat inspired by/written by the people that made avatar and korra (shows that have a relatively simple and easy to understand magic system with fairly clear rules on how to follow them - no matter how upset my friend was about Toph metalbending) and having a magic system this vague and confusing

I feel like if I rewrote this thing, the first point I'm making is having Allura try to explain Quintessence in slightly more detail to Pidge and Hunk and having them lose their minds over it

[werefeathers]

so. we have this oc who studies the 'art of being human', so to speak. that story idea's been pretty solid, but we never really found an angle we liked. today ive realised the key ingredient that weve missed out. the one that seems so stupidly obvious:

we need to make it a lycanthrope.

i was talking to my online friend last night and was like "omg i wanna see dew in an era 1 ghoul's outfit"

and then i remembered i'm an artist

[tobiastobytob]

Today, at some lessons, they were drawing, I wanted to draw all the representatives of each element

So far, only multi and quintessences are completely ready

And of the fire ones, there is only Sodo so far

I don't know how to draw in realism, but I try to somehow make my style more detailed (^o^)

[thevisualvamp]

Swoon worthy

[sageofthestarz]

Quintessence feels like Icy hot patches

[wrathofrats]

Holy shit wrath the reading thing is… my god I now don’t know what to do with this newly gained knowledge. The whole turning the brain off I just-

Stop making me realize new things about myself lmao (sorry if that’s too weird)

If you ever expand apon that I will be so happy cause I love all your quint shit but absolutely no pressure.

-ace anon

Kicks my feet giggling

Hi ace! Not weird at all. I post porn babe, if I’m not making my audience weirdly horny and giving them new kinks I’m not doing my job correctly. Best compliment honestly LMAO. And I’m soooo happy you’re enjoying the quint fuckery

But I would love to expand upon this (:

God I think cirrus is such a treat to play with, especially for aether. Smart mouthed and hard to talk down into any sort of submission but aether loves a bit of a fight.

So when cirrus comes to him, clearly needy while he’s reading, it’s just too good of an opportunity

Tells her to undress In front of him, threatens to just leave her wanting when she huffs about it. Reluctantly she complies, trying not to notice how aethers eyes bore into her.

It makes it just a tad more shameful when aether himself doesn’t even undress, just pulls his cock out of his sweats and beckons her to straddle his lap backwards.

Gives her just a little of what she wants, fingers her open to accommodate for his big he is but it nice, he’s slow and sweet about it and cirrus could just melt into him if given the chance. He makes her slowly sink onto his cock, listening to her curse and moan as it practically carves into her, eyes crossing and thoughts completely pushed out of her head.

He lifts up the book he placed on the arm of his chair in front of them, nosing into cirrus’ hair just by her ear

“Read.”

“What?”

“You interrupted me. So you’ll read the rest of it and then I’ll give you what you want”

It’s a dumb request cirrus thinks, too easy but she will comply if that means aether will fuck her within an inch of her life.

She gets through the first couple sentences without any problems, a lilt to her tone as if she was showing off, practically mocking his request.

But she fumbles as the first bit of quintessence seeps into her. It fogs her brain, makes her vision blurry, honestly don’t even think she notices what’s happening.

“Start over” aethers tone is quiet, but stern.

She rolls her eyes, starts again, a static shock radiating through her hip making her practically forget how to read, stumbling over the sentences once again while aether makes her start over.

And the terrible downside to quintessence is it makes her so fucking sensitive. By the 3rd or 4th pass she’s shaking, trying not to fuck herself on his cock because she wants to be good, but she can feel everything heightened by 100 and the way his dick twitches inside of her makes her want to scream.

And aether? More than giddy about his little game. A sadistic smile on his face as he hears her stutter more and more with every pass, watches her get stupider by the minute on his cock

Mushy May Day 3: Massage

A quick doodle I did to go along with what I wrote for Day 3, which you can find here!~

It's honestly really fun just doing art and doodles and stuff of the ghouls, it's nice being able to do art without overthinking it for a change :3 Even if everyone I know has told me it looks like they're doing it-

Huge thanks to @forlorn-crows for organizing Mushy May!
