Y'all why his ass so cute?

[baphometed]

ABEL WAS HOMESCHOOLED.    not that anyone would care. his adopted family used him for ‘feel good’ points with the local churches to sponsor him, but the moment people no longer were shining a light on abel and he was growing up with ‘defects’; they didn’t want him out in the public eye. especially because he wasn’t growing the way they thought he should be and he was always a sickly dead colour. rather than neglect him, they tried to keep him out of the public eye. 

they kept him locked in his bedroom most days and it wasn't until he was around when he turned eight that they start homeschooling him. it wasn't anything really in depth. in fact, with his worsening appearance as a child, they didn't expect him to live long. the fact they homeschooled him was only to keep up the appearance of doting parents if they had guests if it was required for him to be seen. otherwise, they kept him out of sight and mind waiting for him to eventually get ill to the point it warranted another hospital visit and attention be back on him. his case was already unusual enough, that child services wouldn't be able to make a judgement call. his parents used his his trauma to explain away his appearance with the foster home/cult.

because of it, abel's literary skills didn't really get sharper until after he ran away and met 'mama ellie' and 'arthur'. both of them worked to help teach him how to read and write better, and mama ellie taught him to cook. because of this, abel's never really had anything close to a typical school education. everything he knows has been learned through experience and because he was taken in by ellie.

after her passing, 'arthur' offered to bring him with him somewhere that would take him away from the bad people that were chasing him, but abel refused to go because he realized nowhere he went would be safe. this was the start of abel's habit of never staying in one place too long. they can't catch you if you are always hiding and moving. 'arthur' has kept very close ties on abel ever since and occasionally has shown up when abel has over exerted himself.

Tortured and Repressed Love

— ★ ⚄ ★ —

Hanekoma was slowly starting to come to terms with what Joshua meant when he said he didn't trust this particular iteration. And each day it became clearer to him why being in love with Eanas had been so much easier than being in love with Hazelnut. How Eanas had actually been so incredibly kind to him through all of those complicated feelings. Because for all of the playful teasing and soft, intimate moments, Eanas had never intended to hurt him or shove it in his face, the way he was standing somewhere that someone else had already taken.

Hazelnut, however...

It was true, to an extent. Hanekoma was still coming down from his feelings for Hazelnut. He was still trying to forget every hot kiss and every warm touch. He was trying to move past the way their hands fit together and the way their souls meshed so perfectly that one time they'd synced.

How syncing with someone for the first time since he was a player was something he would never be able to experience again...

But yes. When he saw Hazelnut standing in front of him like that, when he saw those dark, passionate eyes and the little smirk on his lips and the way his hips canted to one side to offset his weight, yes. All of those memories came flooding back and the beast inside himself screamed "Mine!"

But he couldn't admit that. He didn't even really want to be with Hazelnut anymore. Marrying someone as sweet as Minamimoto's mother had gone a long way to stilling the coals burning up in his chest. He didn't want to hurt Mari. He didn't want to take Hazelnut away from her, or admit that he wanted something she had. He couldn't do that, no matter how badly he wanted Hazelnut. Maybe it would have been the same for Eanas if he'd been able to build some rapport with Dorian first, but alas, he still didn't know anything about that one.

Hanekoma pulled a poker face instead, his own lip curling back into a smirk as he cocked his chin upwards, a show of complete confidence. "Nah, boss. I think you an' Mari make an excellent couple. You make her happy and she really needs someone like you in her life. And I'm not lonely. I got myself~ I'm doing perfectly fine on my own, loving myself with all that I got. As a matter'a fact, I was planning on taking myself out on a date today. Do a little tagging, maybe a little gambling~ get my prizes and go out somewhere nice to eat. It'll be an amazing night."

The perfect date. Or at least, the perfect date for himself and one of his counterparts. It wasn't something he could share with the men he had once loved, so he had to do what he could to pour all of that love into himself. Kiss himself in the mirror, hold his own hand under the table, whisper sweet nothings down into his cup so it could bounce back to him. To give himself as close of an experience to a partner as he could. It was all he could do at this point.

"Sorry if that's a bit of a disappointment, though," he continued, tucking his hands in his pockets, "this is just healthier for me in the long run."

❝ something i find particularly interesting is that there is writing that caters towards vulnerability; yet most people are scared of letting themselves be known. i wonder what your writing says about you.... i'd like very much to find out, one day.  ❞ - @afigitis

❝ I don't think I could hide in subtext deep enough to elude you, ❞ he chuckled, gold freely glowing within those unshielded eyes. He rarely wore his trademark glasses in Dorian's presence, just as he rarely glamored the real color of his pupils. Dorian's seen him at his most authentic self and it was frankly a relief to let his hair down, so to speak. Ease up on the frequency, and breathe without the stifling masks.

"I believed I was virtuous as long as I believed in the Higher Plane," Haruto replied softly. "I was sorely mistaken. I don't have any hope of changing my position now. The best I can do is fade out of existence, slowly. I'm doing a good job of it, so far. But... I haven't met you before. Perhaps heard whispers here and there. What role are you playing, exactly?"

The fall had not been planned. Aku would have expected to have an exciting trip out of her home, with someone she felt safe with. But instead she had plummeted, alone, and landed on hard, hot asphalt. Her feet were red and scraped and dirty in a way they had never been in her home. People had stared and pointed and tried to pull her aside, and she had had to run from them. All of their thoughts filling her mind at once, hundreds of people all at once. She could scarcely remember how she'd gotten where she was, curled up at the feet of this stranger with her third eye squeezed so tightly shut it was watering. She must have been saved from her overstimulated, delirious state somehow. Now she was speaking what she was sure was nonsense, but this one had such magical thoughts of his own, so perhaps he could help.

"I'm sorry..." She whispered. "For the trouble, but I... I'm scared. I'm hurt. I've never been hurt like this before. I don't know what to do."

Bad Ideas of the Day, Part Three

My monthly-ish roundup of my bad dimension 20 fanfic ideas of the day prompts! As ever, all of these can be written by anyone who cares to do so.

Part two can be found here and part one here

Bad Idea Of the Day, Multi-class Edition: Following basic pattern recognition skills, Fig decides and convinces four of the other bad kids that the key to getting powerful wizard abilities is not hard work and study, but having a name that starts with the letter A. Can Adaine deal with walking in to class on the first day of school and finding five new students in her wizard classes, Afig, Akristen, Ariz, Agorgug, and Abian, or will she murder her friends on the spot?

Bad idea of the day, Sicktember is a curse edition: Out of respect for Aelwyn's compromised immune system following her time in the orb, the residents of Mordred Manor actually take proper precautions to avoid getting her sick during the following flu season. A fluff piece and alas seemingly pure fantasy.

Bad idea of the day, yes I already did one today edition: Fig, actually doing a bard assignment for once, needs to build a ballad for her family history and decides to include the entire insane non-Gorgug bad kids family tree, even the most tenuous links in it like Kristen and Aelwyn.

Bad idea of the day, role swap edition: Fabian, prince of Leviathan, must deal with a ship that has been raiding his father's trading vessels, led by two sisters who are pirating with varying degrees of reluctance to bring wealth back to their greedy and demanding parents

Bad idea of the day, backstory mix and match edition: In the summer before high school, Kristen and her entire family are ripped apart by the discovery that she is half-devil; meanwhile, wood elf Fig wakes up one morning to a god whispering in her head and is deeply annoyed because they won't just let her sleep in.

(If I want to do it for all of the bad kids, hmm… Riz's parents are actually retired thieves, while Bill Seacaster was actually a privateer working for Solace the whole time; Adaine is adopted and aware of it and hoping her birth parents would actually love her, while Gorgug has a wild gnomish older sister who may be up to some nefarious activity)

Bad idea of the day, every show needs a musical episode by its third season edition: The residents of Elmville have been cursed into bursting into song at the slightest provocation, with reactions ranging from the amused (Fig, Kristen) to the murderous (Riz, Aelwyn). What kind of villain could be behind such an impromptu act of theater?

Why, it's Sam Reich of course. He's been here the… you know the rest.

Bad idea of the day, I Like Werewolves Okay? edition - KINGSTON fails his con save to avoid becoming a werewolf during the train fight and everyone else needs to help him adjust without gnawing on too many people.

Bad idea of the day, the writer had to scroll back to see if it had already done a bad idea of the day today edition: A groundhogs day esque time loop for one of the bad kids, but it's not a dramatic day or anything special and in fact it's just kind of boring and miserable. This turns out to eventually be revealed to be revenge by Arthur Aguefort for some petty and long-forgotten-by-the-kid slight.

Bad idea of the day, campaign fusion edition: Arthur Aguefort sends the Bad Kids on their most dangerous and critical mission yet, shrinking them down to clean out his fridge and prevent the vegetables within from grouping up to kill him before he can eat them, without causing too much damage to the ecosystem he's been maintaining for the last five centuries. Can these mere fleshy beings stop this uprising against 'the hungry one' in the world of Calorum?

Bad idea of the day, early morning edition: Kristen's gay awakening is triggered not by Tracker, but rather by someone who her parents would hate even more: The cute bi rebellious tiefling in her new party.

Bad idea of the day, portal to hell edition: Daybreak succeeds in condemning Kristen to hell, which doesn't actually end the world but does mean Kristen's stuck in hell. Can she find a new god worth following in such spicy surroundings?

Bad idea of the day, after school special edition: Fig and Aelwyn get part-time jobs going around Solace to "demonstrate" the dangers of drugs and drinking by going to local school parties and faking getting into lethal car accidents, overdoses, and other mishaps to scare those local students into being drug free, mostly because both of them secretly find it funny and in Aelwyn's case she needs the money

Bad idea of the day, Double Your Pleasure edition: Riva, never quite certain how the pleasure putty they're selling works, finds out about oral sex and then makes the determination that the explosive material should be marketed as chewing gum. The ensuing pleasure blows people's minds!

Bad idea of the day, Oops All Spells edition: The bad kids manage to not get detention on the first day and to avoid accidentally playing into daybreak's hands, ending up in normal parties. Many of them have many troubles out of this, but the worst is for Fig, who finds herself tempted into hanging out with the first other tiefling she's ever met even if he is a little bit of a loser, one Johnny Spells

Bad idea of the day, Mentopolis edition: The Fix gets an assignment to wipe out serial distracter Imelda Pulse before she can ruin any more coworker's birthdays

Bad idea of the day, Afterlife edition: Figueroth Faeth is very bad at the paperwork of her domain in Hell, even after nearly fifty years running it. Luckily for her, her good friend and paperwork expert Riz Gukgak has just died of old age, and Fig isn't above cheating him out of heaven in order to get his administrative expertise in Hell.

Bad idea of the day, party swap edition: As part of a junior year test, all of the students in that year must do a relatively easy quest mixed up into different parties, with no two members of a typical party allowed to be together. How do the bad kids handle doing a mission with people who are less, well, generally insane and bloodthirsty than they are?

Bad Idea of the Day, Spy Versus Spy edition: All of the bad kids are on secret missions to spy on Arthur Aguefort and his school, with varying degrees of willingness and conflicting goals: Adaine for Fallinel, Kristen on behalf of the church, Fig on behalf of Hell, Riz for Kalina, Fabian for his father, and Gorgug for the Solisian government itself through his parents.

Bad idea of the day, A Crown of Candy edition: Amethar dies in the initial ambush, the way Brennan had frankly probably planned for. Can the remnants of house Rocks hold things together and avenge their fallen king?

Bad idea of the day, Nightmare Forest edition: Rather than illusions, the nightmare forest sequence is made up of a Freddy Kreuger-esque sequence of actual dreams in the Bad Kids' actual sleeps, with them needing to survive their respective worst nightmares in order to make it to the place at the center of dreams where they can find the Nightmare King.

Bad idea of the day, fake holiday edition: Aguefort in junior year includes a class on self-promotion, and Fig and Adaine, taking it extremely seriously, start a holiday honoring the anniversary of Riz murdering Daybreak.

((Talk about some of your favorite interactions! It doesn't matter if you're directly involved in them or not, it's just nice to spread positivity.))

🥚 I've really enjoyed people coming into STM not only as patients, but as employees. It's nice to build the centre's staff community more and develop the other co-owners behind the scenes! I'm not able to do a whole lot in public cause of the laws in Canada regarding the mental health department, so a lot of that aspect I talk about over VC instead. But the physical health aspect has been fun to RP as well.

I've also really enjoyed my muses' interactions with Hope's main three Shibuyas. It's been really since seeing bonds grow over the past almost-year and seeing how well Hope fits into TWEWY as a whole. I can't wait to do more on that.

Honorable mention to Willow and the stuff we've been talking about behind the scenes and planning for the future. I can't wait for the dynamics with Hope and Dorian (( @afigitis )) and their other OCs to finally come to fruition!

As far as others:

💫🌌🎨 @the-composer @catncore and @dandybarista is always a fun trio to see on the dash. Willow and J's writing is always phenomenal and you can truly tell that these three have been through hell and back and that their bonds are unbreakable. J's focus on Joshua and his relationships with others really plays into this a lot and couples really well with Willow's story and world building and the intertwining lore that comes from not just these three, but other involved blogs as well. Especially when you factor in Willow's OCs into the mix as well.

🔫🍭 @lollipopsandgunshots Interpretations of Kariya and Uzuki and their relationship is absolutely on point and the way they intertwine their OCs into things as well to make this little community is such a breath of fresh air and adds onto that relationship's strength. As far as I'm concerned Katee's take on Kariya and Uzuki's realationship and families might as well be canon material.

💖 @hannah-the-small and I don't exactly talk / haven't talked too much but I really enjoy reading their content. Their current storyline with James and Hannah and the relationships they've built and are a part of are captivating and incredibly well written and their art only adds to that. Same with their HH stuff with Clem and Gritt's separate but still intertwined lives. They're the only person I will consume any sort of HH content from, because they're taking the established lore and making something entirely their own from the concepts it presents. It's always a joy to read their stuff! Can you tell I may look up to them a lil <<;

🐋 I've mostly lurked for the time being (AND DESPERATELY NEED TO CHANGE THIS) but I've absolutely been adoring the dynamics over at @narvvhal! The writing is dynamic and adds to the equally fascinating characterization of Childe and the bonds and relationships he has formed or is forming. Each is a joy to read and just as entrancing as the others to read. I never get bored learning more about this interpretation and how he interacts with the world and other folks, as well as how others react to him!

💜💙💗 And of course I can't go without talking about @kingsmedley, @pureposer and @strawberry-barista! The dynamics between Joshua, Haz and Hanekoma were my first experience with these three and I've enjoyed seeing how things have changed and evolved. Things conflict and clash, but can also be settled and it's fascinating to see just how three unstable people trying to get better can still have an amazing dynamic!

Now, I know Dusty and Kohi ((to an extent)) are drifting off to different paths and this timeline is gonna lay effectively dormant for the foreseeable future, but this still applies to their other muses as well, new and old. Same with Salem's! I'm confident that these three will find another way to connect and I can't wait to read ((and potentially be a part of)) what they create together.

This is afigitis, my good friend star is absolutley fucking obsessed with them. They're the god of light and knowledge, and are generally polite but can be kind of passive aggressive. I'm doing this rk see if the world shares stars opinion.

{ please no reb/ogging unless mentioned

[weatherford]

some interesting things about the dynamics cyrus has with other characters. ( part 1. )

★ 'dorian'. @afigitis

he is very fond of dorian as he is right now, but there will always be a part of him that is reminded of tagas because he recalls the point of origin and was initially the one to initiate things.

most if not all conversations cyrus has with dorian take place within cyrus's office. they are rarely seen speaking to each other outside when cyrus is making his rounds.

cyrus is the one who appointed dorian as the star arcana, a rank he stands by even if dorian has not made the best decisions in his professional opinion.

they have tea together once a week to go over assignments and any information around the library that isn't so important to be addressed immediately.

these conversations tend to be in greek.

these conversations also tend to take nearly an hour.

he hand tailored many of dorian's coats that are specially made to be able to withstand the different states of the library the deeper into the archives you go and the environment becomes more.... unstable.

while cyrus is at the top of the pillar when it comes to magicks and the arcane; he is well aware that dorian is also someone to be rivaled even though their types of magick is not the same.

he was the one to give dorian the book in which dorian summoned Excalibur for the first time.

he is one of the few people who is aware what dorian's true name is.

✦ willow. ( mentioned only)

when cyrus fell out of his book, he was taken in by alba but willow was the most prominent figure in his life next to alba. cyrus looks at willow as his grandfather, even if willow looks a decade younger than him.

the glasses and the gloves that cyrus wears to hide his ink stained hands were given to him by willow. the moment he received the gloves, he rarely takes them off except to take his baths or to clean them. the glasses are magickal and allow him to read the wards that willow keeps around the library.

he doesn't understand willow or the way that willow thinks; however he is the one who can read willow the best and most people tend to come to him first if willow doesn't elaborate.

cyrus does not know why people think that he will also elaborate. he will not. it is also none of their business.

willow will sit with cyrus and have dinner and just enjoy his company.

there are many things cyrus wants to ask willow, but he understands that he will never get an answer to them.

that in it's self could be considered a blessing.

they have tea daily and willow will come by with food and make sure that he eats because willow is aware that cyrus will overwork and forget to eat while dealing with the archive.

the library will listen to willow and override cyrus's commands because the library started with him.

[dandybarista]

❝ someone appears to be busy. and here i was to deliver something to you. perhaps i should come back when you aren't as distracted? ❞ he sounds playful, leaning on the doorway watching the producer.

❝ I get a little frisky when left to my own devices. ❞ He's up and making a beeline for the doorway, grinning exuberantly. Even though he's been caught, the air of mischief about him doesn't dissipate. Clapping a hand over the doorframe, and the other around the storyteller's nape, he pulls him down across the distance of those inches separating them for an enthused kiss.

❝ You know I'd drop anythin' for you at this point, right? ❞ The familiar warmth of fondness softens and deepens his gaze. ❝ What do you got for me? ❞
