Hey ^^

Just wanted to put out there I'm open to finding some rp partners! I'm very new to writing on Tumblr and Discord, but I've been roleplaying for a couple years now!

Couple things..

-21+ ONLY

- I'm Semi lit to Literate. I don't really care about paragraph limits, I just don't reply to one liners and I don't use '*'

- Im always looking for CC x OC and I do double ups!

- preferably all rps will be on discord and I'm totally down to chat ooc as well!!

- I try to reply at least once a week! I work a lot and I'm also 3rd shift (EST) but I promise I'm not purposely ghosting.

- If you have an OC please share their Character sheet/Template/Profile/Google doc whatever you have!

- I like to have a plan and I have a lot of writing prompts/starters before actually getting started writing.

- I'm currently interested in a lot of fandoms but currently obsessed with Spiderverse, JJK, MHA, but as of right now I'm looking for a horizon forbidden west double up where someone can write Kotallo for me :)

Please interact with this post, or DM me on here or discord!

Peace!

Can i ask suggesting aloy finding drakkq stuck/sleeping in the vent? :0

While I do not have art of that specifically, I do have a sketch of Drakka sobbing while eating jam in the vent after he overheard Kotallo giving flowers to Aloy per his advice

Once Aloy realizes he's in there, she pspsps-s him out and returns him whence he came from

[goldmolamola]

pros and cons opinions/headcanons for dating my fav tenakth men:

Hekarro:

Pros:

Big, tall, strong, handsome, and a voice to make you weak in the knees.

Intelligent, clever, charismatic, forward-thinking.

Keeps his promises.

Successful and accomplished career.

Meets you where you are. 

If you’re loyal to him and have proven it time and time again, you’ll get his loyalty right back. Your bond is unbreakable.

Will absolutely vouch for your character and defend your honor. It doesn’t matter if you made a lot of mistakes, he disagreed with your life choices, or your relationship didn’t work out. He knows what you’re made of deep down.

Uncanny ability to get things to go his way; and thus, oftentimes, your way.

Cons:

Uncanny ability to get things to go his way; and thus, sometimes, not your way. He’s not manipulative but his persuasiveness is dialed to 11. It doesn’t happen all that often outside of work but when it happens at home ooooh

Super busy with work. You might not see each other as much as you’d like.

Increased scrutiny that comes with being associated with a high-profile political figure.

Peace between the three clans he leads is still relatively new. If things ever go south, being with him means you might become a target.

You might find his bloody past morally difficult to accept.

Kotallo:

Pros:

Has all the allure of the “mr. tall dark and handsome” and a sexy voice too.

Once you get through his stoic exterior, there's a sweet, polite, considerate, and passionate guy underneath.

Intelligent, curious, open to new ideas, and willing to admit when he’s wrong.

Successful and accomplished from a young age.

Good at his job; one of his boss’ fav people.

His food recommendations can't be beat. You're always eating good.

Unexpectedly playful and flirty. Your dates are always a blast.

Celebrates your victories with quietly placed trophies or shouts at the top of his lungs how awesome you are in battle. He just wants to see you win.

It’s not you vs him in this relationship, it’s you and him as a team vs a problem you solve together!

Will defend your honor.

Says unexpectedly poetic and romantic things like “give whatever is left of my life.” Damn.

Undying loyalty. Your ride or die.

Cons:

Can be kinda moody and brusque sometimes.

Work keeps him away a lot and it might come first depending on the situation.

Dangerous profession.

May run into a personality clash if you're not as introverted as he is. He needs alone time sometimes.

Going to his hometown is always tense (you're gonna hate your future father-in-law).

Poppy's Fic and Fandom Masterpost

Hello hello! I suppose I might as well do one of these to help people find my fics, since I have quite a few at this point.

The link to my AO3 profile is here at poppypopp

My Niloy fics:

Flame and Shadow - In which the mask comes off, the conversation goes differently, and Nil once more follows her into the fight, like a shark following the scent of blood. Where she goes, death follows, and he’s powerless to resist the call. There is also a sequel called The Boundary of Disaster that takes place during a racing event down at Hidden Ember. (BOTH FINISHED)

All the World Aflame - In which the Red Raids never ended. With Rost gone and the Proving cancelled due to the growing threat of the Carja on their doorstep, Aloy is alone and adrift until she comes across a squad of Red Raiders fighting the Braves in the Embrace. She leaps into the battle to help, and in the chaos, one of the Carja kestrels is captured. With war looming on the horizon and a weakened tribe, Aloy must venture out into the wilds beyond the Sacred Lands to follow rumors of a growing rebellion led by Oseram freebooters. If they can band together, they might just be strong enough to bring down the Carja and end the Red Raids. But to get there, she'll need a guide, and who better than the captive Carja who has nothing to lose? He can't be trusted, but perhaps he values his shot at freedom more than being a soldier in somebody else's war. (FINISHED)

My Kotaniloy fics:

Glitter and Gore - When Aloy stumbles across a serial killer who only kills bad guys, she enlists his help hunting down the man who killed her adoptive father. The trouble is, in order to get to him, they'll have to go undercover inside the strip club he owns to get close to him. What they don't know is that Kotallo, the new bouncer, is an undercover cop gathering evidence to bring down the crime syndicate running the club. As they grow closer and hard truths emerge, will they be able to work together to bring down their enemies, or will their differences tear them apart? (FINISHED) Or, the Stripper/Serial Killer AU you never knew you needed. Now with a birthday one-shot called Cocoa for Koko And another steamy oneshot: We Can Take Our Time, Baby (in Slow Motion)

Toward the Sun - Nil has always thought his soulmate's first words were a rejection - a belief that's reinforced when he hears them spoken during the heat of battle at Barren Light. He resolves to go through life alone until he meets Aloy, and though he thinks he could be happy with her - she has someone else's words written on her arm. So he lets her go. It seems a cruel twist of fate when he joins her fight in the Forbidden West only to realize that not only has she found her soulmate, but her soulmate is the same Tenakth warrior who rejected him three years ago. Though it pains him to know he's somehow been replaced, he swore to help Aloy fight, and his honor demands he stay. So he hides behind the Red Teeth mask and resolves to keep his distance from them both. But it's only a matter of time before his long shadow is finally brought to light. (FINISHED) Finished sequel here: No Shadows in the Sun

My Niloyakka fics:

Don't Say You Don't Love Me - With her search for Hephaestus stalled, Aloy tags along with Drakka, commander of the Desert Clan, to visit Hidden Ember for a special event: they’ve set up the Gauntlet Runs as a brand new attraction. Aloy hasn’t been back there since she found out who Red Teeth really was. Her feelings for Nil are complicated, and there’s too much insurmountable history. Or so she thinks, until she’s face to face with him once more. Is it possible for her to have BOTH of the most important men in her life? Or will the specters of Nil’s past stop them from having the future they deserve? (FINISHED)

Strip Strike - It starts with a heatwave. Or, Drakka loses on purpose when there's sex to be had, but it turns out he's a master Strike player. (FINISHED)

My Nil/Teb series, Sugar and Salt, in which Nil and Teb discover they're soulmates, and follows them in a series of slice-of-life oneshots exploring their relationship. (IN PROGRESS)

My Nil/Kotallo fics:

The Feral Carja and the One-armed Tenakth series - begins with a '5+1' fic exploring how Nil and Kotallo might meet and fall for each other. (IN PROGRESS)

The Rocket in a Knife Fight - AU in which Nil is captured by the Tenakth to fight in a gladiator-style arena setting (the Tenakth's version of a sun-ring) and discovers that his former commander and best friend, Fashav, has been living with them and working as a marshal. And to make matters worse, he finds himself inconveniently attracted to one of his captors, a soft-spoken, steely eyed marshal who challenges everything Nil knows about the Tenakth. Sequel: If There's a Rocket, Tie me to It (IN PROGRESS)

Turning of the Seasons - Omegaverse fic. Following the seasons of the year, Kotallo meets the alpha, Nil, who turns all his expectations upside-down, and as they find each other throughout the year, they realize that home is more than a place. (FINISHED)

Hearts and Diamonds - How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days AU (FINISHED)

My Nil/Kotallo/Fashav fics:

Burn Like a Rocket - Follows the events of my fic, 'Rocket in a Knife Fight' but this time, Fashav and Nil were lovers before Fashav was captured by the Tenakth. When they find each other again when Nil is captured to fight to the death in their arena, he finds that General Fashav is now Marshal Fashav and has been involved with Kotallo for over a year. (FINISHED)

My Nil/Kotallo/Fashav/Aloy fics:

Where the Wanderer Goes - When Nil meets Fashav, he is a weapon who learns to be a man. After Fashav's "death" at Cinnabar Sands, he doesn't think he'll recover from the loss until he meets a Nora huntress and learns to love again. Finding out she's the soulmate of his dead lover is a painful but manageable realization -- until they find out Fashav is still alive. Kotallo never thought he would fall for a Carja, but Fashav is nothing like he expected. They aren't soulmates, but that doesn't matter until Fashav meets his soulmate, the red-haired Savior of Meridian. Kotallo is equally unmoored when her Carja companion -- the man who gave him the scar on his lip -- says the words on Kotallo's arm. In response, Kotallo swears to never speak a word to Nil. He can't be soulmates with someone if he never speaks to them. But for some reason he just can't seem to stay away. (IN PROGRESS)

My Nil/Avad fic:

Gilded Shadows - What if Avad and Nil were friends before the Red Raids, and after Kadaman's death, he didn't go to Ersa for help, but Nil? (IN PROGRESS)

My token Nil/Hekarro oneshot fic:

Common Ground - When Hekarro requests an audience with the elusive Red Teeth, Nil expects the worst. But when he arrives, he discovers he and Chief Hekarro have more in common than they thought. (FINISHED)

If you have made it to the end of this thing, I appreciate you very much. I am also a part of a discord server where we ship Nil with just about everybody (as you can tell by the nature and quantity of my fics). We're a pretty chill group who like to hang out and talk Horizon, among other things. We do occasional theme nights, such as fluff night, spice night, and angst night (there's also talk of a crack night, which should be fun). If you're interested, it's called Nilysium, and you can click the link HERE to join us!

[flares-of-arcadia]

I have taken SO many screenshots of every major HFW character while trying to get good bases for icons/profile pics

Every cutscene I have my finger on the pause button, hoping to get the timing right to capture the ever elusive (and beloved) "Kotallo Smile"

I'm already sure that I'll have to replay certain sections of the game, though, because there aren't as many good close ups of Zo when you're talking to her in the Base :/

[craiteys]

did i restart horizon forbidden west on my second profile just so i could record kotallo & aloy scenes?

y e s...
