[gxldencity]

In terms of my word salad in those tags, I've seen like...a few philippine inspired fantasies / OCs (in general so I'm not like vaguing anyone specifically here lol) that have like clearly cebuano influences in terms of aesthetics and cultural practices but their names are still firmly tagalog and speak Only in tagalog lol

[aves-pantherart]

quick thing of my girl Jean & a bud's character Elaine, in the tradition i started (then abandoned) of drawing characters in ugly christmas sweaters for the season.

i might do more before christmas but i'm not 100% sure yet.

lila from who's lila? is also kind of phoebecore, although phoebe is obviously not genuinely like evil and malicious and possessive like lila is so its kind of not the same. but the vibes are similar

Since this post seems to have gotten some traction (helloooo my fellow Elucien With Babies people! can we be friends? 🧡): I've started the story! It's going to be multi-layered and multi-plot driven like any of the past family-oriented stories I've written for other pairings, with plenty of angst, hurt/comfort and fluff. All of the things that hurt so good.

It will likely be a while before it's polished and ready to see the light of day...but I sincerely hope anyone who decides to give it a go will enjoy it! Thanks for making me feel less alone about liking the niches I like. 😘

I’m doomed to write domestic Elucien and I’m just gonna apologize in advance, I think?? 😣

Domesticity is hardly popular as far as fanfic tropes…at least, in any of the fandoms I’ve frequented in the past (and loved in spite of that). But damnit….my favorite tormented, traumatized males becoming husbands and fathers is my kryptonite. A hill I will die on. A want I’m doomed to write again and again.

I need them loved back to life by wives who take none of their bullshit but also would kill a bitch who even breathes a hint of an insult in their direction. And then the little beings who take no note of Daddy’s physical scars or suffocating guilt, just overwhelming acceptance of who he is in their innocent eyes; who allow him to dote the fuck on them so that they are fully aware that they have him in a loving, irreversible choke hold.

I need to finish the books… But I don’t think I can wait that long to start said fic. 😫

[readychilledwine]

hello helloooo! I’m back with another fic idea if it interests you ✨so little Nyx is old enough to go to school maybe like kindergarten-ish age? And one day the IC is eating dinner and Nyx is like “I have a mate!” And obviously he doesn’t but still Rhys and Feyre are like WTF and then read his little bby mind and find out he’s just infatuated with his teacher. (Nyx gave her a cookie that he baked with the help of Elain which she ate and now he thinks they’re mates bc he’s too young to understand that that’s not how it works) and then during a school carnival or gathering or cute kindergarten level graduation the IC attends with Nyx and ofc Azriel is there. He doesn’t even know who Nyx’s teacher is but then he sees Nyx dragging a young female over to him where he introduces her to him, proudly saying “this is my mate!” And she just laughs but then the bond snaps for her and Azriel. And then fluff ensues from there with everyone trying to explain to Nyx that she’s not his mate and that she’s Azriel’s to which he takes forever to understand. He keeps trying to give her treats and flowers so that they’ll somehow be mates. Azriel becomes public enemy #1 in Nyx’s eyes because he stole her from him. And then fast forward to when Nyx is older, maybe finally with a mate of his own and they tell him the story at his wedding and he’s so embarrassed about it. could def see this as an OC fic but x reader works just as well!

Infatuation

I love writing little baby Nyx 🥺🥺🥺

Warnings - Nyx being a bit of a menace to society *well Az*

Nyx was beaming. Bouncing as he ate his dinner, little wings flapping every so often.

It wasn't unusual. Being surrounded by this much love, this much joy, this much devotion had made the little heir the happiest of babies, then a happy toddler, and now a happy 5 year old.

He picked up his little cup, sucking on the straw and took a big drink as Rhysand and Feyre shared a look. He set it back down with a satisfied lip smack and went back to his mashed potatoes.

"Alright, I'll bite," Cassian put his knife down. "What happened at school today?"

"I met my mate," Rhysand's face dropped at his son's little confession. "And she's perfect, and nice, and prettier than mommy."

Feyre hid her laugher behind a mask of concern before gently digging into Nyx's head.

There, as Nyx thought about his mate, was Miss Arianna, legs crossed as she read to them on the floor. Her black hair was tied up in two buns with pieces framing her face. She had a big smile on her lips as she read in different voices from the children's book.

Feyre and Rhys, despite their status, sat on a waiting list to have Nyx in her lessons. She was highly sought after, her students were all advanced for their little ages, and she allowed time in their schedules for naps. Something many teachers felt was unnecessary.

Rhys had loved you the moment he made the choice to ignore his morals and enter your mind during their interview.

You didn't care who they were.

You didn't care about their status.

You cared about the faelings.

You took children from every walk of life in Velaris. The poor, the rich, high fae, low fae. It didn't matter to you.

Rhys and Feyre both shared a look and chuckled. "And who is your mate, Nyx?"

He sighed with a dreamy look in his eyes, mind now flashing to you comforting him after he got hurt at recess, "Miss Arianna. I gave her a cookie, and we shared it, so I'm a taken male now."

Nesta had her hand over her mouth, eyes sparkling. "Well," Cassian started before a slap came to his thigh, warning him to let Rhys and Feyre take care of this gently. "You did better than Auntie Ness. She offered me a stale biscuit."

"Your mom made me a can of soup. Worse can of soup I've ever had. Lucien, what did Elain give you?"

Lucien smirked and leaned back, hand on Elain's pregnant stomach. "A five course meal with dessert."

They were all hoping Nyx would understand the implications of what they were saying, but the far-off look and content sigh told them he didn't.

A few weeks later, the inner circle and all of their partners and mates were at the school's end of the year celebration.

The grass had been packed with games, little events for the children, vendors charging nothing for sweets and foods at the kindness and generosity of the High Lord and Lady.

Nyx had long abandoned his family. Opting to run and play with his friends. Cassian and Nesta stood with their daughter, looking over the schools information sheets and the application to join Miss Arianna's class for next year.

"Mommy!" Feyre turned at the voice, beginning to laugh as Nyx dragged his teacher behind him. "Mommy! You were supposed to be behind me!" The heir tapped his foot, Miss Arianna looking away as she hid her smile at his little antics. "I had to bring her all the way over here!"

Arianna and Feyre held eye contact both of their eyes sparkling and knowing where this was going. "Mommy, this is my wife and mate, Miss Arianna," he pulled her to Mor and Emerie first. "This is my Auntie Mor and her wife Emerie." He didn't wait before ripping her to Amren and Varian. "Aunite Amren and Varian. You'll like Auntie Amren. She's real smart." She was pulled to Rhys next. The two adults shook their heads, smiling. "This is daddy. You can call him.... uh. Daddy?" He pulled her to Cassian and Nesta. "Auntie Ness and Uncle Cass," he looked around brow knit in confusion. "Where's Uncle Az and Clarissa?"

Rhys patted his head. "Ris wanted cotton candy, so Az took her to get cotton candy. Why don't you go play too? Then we can talk to your wife."

They watched as Nyx ran off. Clearly not looking to play but trying to find his missing uncle. "I tried telling him, but he's so attached to the idea of us spending the rest of our lives together that he doesn't fully understand."

They all laughed. "We tried too. He told us that we didn't understand."

"Strange. He said to me that the bond didn't snap right away for you either, High Lady, so he'd find the Suriel to tell me, and I'd feel it after that."

A soft pout came to Feyre's lips. "He doesn't understand why you won't be their teacher next year."

Arianna's face fell, the fine features morphing into sadness and longing. "I introduced them to Alexios and even had him sit and answer questions during round up day. I can talk to him. I'm so sorry. I wish I could keep them until higher level learning. We just-"

Feyre hugged her, stopping the unneeded apology. "We know. Cassian and Nesta were hoping to get Clarissa in your class."

"And we were hoping to hire you for private tutoring," Rhys, like his son, was not ready to let Her go. He had spent countless nights looking for ways to keep Nyx in her classes. "We would pay you well."

"That wouldn't be necessary," she turned to Cassian and Nesta, a big smile on her face. "Would you like to see my room? I'll have a different theme next year, but it will give you an idea of my environment."

"Lead the way," Cassian held Nesta close. Watching the two females interact, inserting questions as they walked into her classroom.

The Inner Circle all went to find food and place to eat, enjoying the small screams of joy and laughter around them. "She's really pretty," Emerie started slowly. "Maybe we should hook her up with Azriel. He hasn't dated since Gwyn."

Varian visibly flinched at the mentioned of Gwyn. "Does he still hate Tarquin?"

"Yes," they all answered together.

Azriel joined them seconds later. He was carrying Risa and holding Nyx's hand. "She crashed. Where's Cass? I'm going to take her home?"

Rhys motioned towards the schoolhouse, pulling Nyx to him and telling him to sit and eat. "Arianna offered them a tour of the classroom. A quiet place out of the sun might perk our niece back up, too."

Azriel nodded, carrying the small illyrian into the school house and following his shadows. He could hear melodic laughter and Cassian's loud voice, pausing at the doorway as his niece stirred and snuggled back into him, whispering for daddy. "He's right here, princess."

Nesta motioned for Azriel to join her. His jaw dropped at the sight of the classroom. It was a domed open glass ceiling, but the second it he entered, it began filtering light. "It knows she's sleeping," that voice had his shadows dancing. "I enchanted my room for my students so they're always in a comfortable environment. Never too bright, hot, or cold."

The room was filled with toys and exotic stuffed animals for snuggling. It was decorated like a rain forest from the continent, and an occasional call of something wild could be heard. "I suppose you enchanted all of this too?"

Azriel didn't look her direction, a look of shock and amazement going Nesta's way. Lady Death nodded eagerly, her eyes almost watering. She'd be heartbroken if Clarissa wasn't here next year, Azriel realized.

"Is this the little potential enrollee?" She walked over to Azriel, and nothing else was heard in the room. They didn't hear Cassian or Nesta respond, they no longer heard the soft sounds of animals and birds calling in the distance.

It was like everything in Azriel's life fell onto a new axis.

Arianna was his mate. The female he'd spent forever looking for.

And his nephew was obsessed with her.

Arianna spoke first, "We can't tell Nyx."

Azriel nodded. "I'll get banished to Mother knows where if we do."

Cassian looked between them before smiling, "Did you just secure my daughter's spot in her class? What kind of Aunt wouldn't teach her niece?"

Nesta smacked him hard, smiling from ear to ear. "Have dinner with us tonight? We share one of Rhys' and Feyre's houses with Azriel. He could fly you up for dinner, and we could all get to know each other."

"Only if you want that," Azriel nodded the second the sentence left her lips. "As, am I allowed to be blunt now?" They all nodded. "I was going to take her regardless," she turned to Nesta. "Morrigan scares me. It's why I took Nyx, too."

Arianna held Azriel's hand tight as they walked to the Riverhouse.

They had spent the summer getting to know each other. Going to coffee, to dinner, on long walks along the Sindra. It had taken all of a month for the two of them to decide this was serious, and they both wanted to move forward with the bond.

But that meant telling Nyx, who was still very much infatuated with her.

Azriel sighed as he grabbed the handle, "Ready?"

She nodded, hand stick folded delicately on his bicep. "Only if you are."

Azriel pushed the door to the lavish home open, smiling at Rhys and Feyre, who were waiting for them. They, Cassian, Nesta, and Azriel, had all decided the best way to do this was over a full family dinner.

"Uncle Az!" The shadoesinger stiffened. He had thought they would at least get to the table before the little heir appeared, but the Mother must have had other plans.

He came bounding into the room before stopping at the doorway with a loud gasp.

Azriel had never felt more like chopped liver as Nyx ran to his mate, hugging her legs. "Uncle Az brought my wife to dinner, Daddy!"

Rhysand scratched the stubble he had allowed to grow out due to his days being spent caring for Nyx as Feyre sat the throne. "We should all go sit on the couch, buddy. We need to talk about something."

Arianna allowed Nyx to pull her with him, looking back at Azriel with tears in her eyes.

He had discovered during their time together she had a Cauldron gift, one that had never been trained and just thought of as a personality trait. Arianna was an empath. She felt the emotions of others so deeply and could manipulate them if she tried.

It explained why she was so attached to children and them to her.

It also made her very useful in stressful situations. "Just breathe," Azriel mouthed as they all followed.

"Oh shit," Nesta whispered quietly. "We're doing this now?"

Rhys nodded. His eyes were already lining with silver as he sat across from Nyx with Azriel on one side and Feyre on the other.

The room was very quiet until Azriel spoke. "Nyx, Miss Arianna and I really need to tell you something, and we need you to try to stay calm." The shadowsinger sent a silent prayer to whatever Gods would listen and watched as one of his shadows held Arianna's free hand.

"Miss Arianna is my mate. I asked her to marry me."

The heir's face morphed into a little look of betrayal, his eyes starting to water as Rhysand and him held eye contact. "She's my mate, though."

Nyx looked at Feyre, hoping for support before looking back to a defeated Rhys. "I'm sorry, buddy, but She's Uncle Azriel's mate. Do you remember me telling you about the thread that connects me to Mommy?"

The heir cuddled closer into Arianna, glaring hard towards Azriel. "Why are you so mean?"

Feyre gasped at the question, immediately grabbing Azriel's hand. "Nyx!"

"He's trying to steal my wife!"

Arianna was in tears. The heirs emotions were overwhelming. She took over the conversation, blocking everyone from Nyx by taking both hands and sitting on the coffee table. "Nyx, honey, I'm so sorry, but Az and I are mates," they all felt the small tinge of magic shift. "I know this is hard for you. Your feelings are so valid, and it's difficult when you feel something this deeply to let go of that notion. It's hard processing such big emotions."

She wiped one of his tears. "Your mate is out there, hun. And she's wonderful, kind, smart, and closer in age than I am to you. You two will have so much more in common, and you will find joy and happiness in her that you never will in me."

"But she won't be you," Nyx sobbed heavily. "We're supposed to spend forever together."

She smiled softly. "And we will. You will always have me in your life. We will always be friends."

He glared towards Azriel, and Arianna turned his little head towards her. "You are hurting his feelings. Uncle Az loves you. We've spent a lot of time talking about how to handle this because he knew it would upset you, and it hurts his heart to see you so sad. You don't want to hurt Az. I can see if in your little face."

Nyx still glared at Az. "What if you two break up?"

"You'll be the first to know, bud," Azriel said softly.

"Good."

"Good," Azriel repeated.

"Fine."

"Fine," the heir smiled as his Uncle teased him.

It was then that Nyx decided to dive on Azriel, the Illyrian coming out of them as he started a tickle fight. "She was mine first!"

Azriel was laughing, holding the smiling boy close to him and allowing him to win. "And now she can be our. We can make her go places with us, bug her while we fight with our training swords, do pranks."

The heir stopped, that dimpled smile coming back out. "Prankies?"

Arianna's face fell as everyone started laughing. "Wait. What?"

Azriel smiled at her, sending her his love as Nyx whispered in his ear.

"We good?" She mouthed to him. He nodded, holding Nyx close. She stood to go comfort Rhys and Feyre, only for a shadow to trip her. "AZRIEL!"

The heir and shadowsinger ran off laughing as the other couples watched Arianna with shared grins, "Don't worry, sweetness," Cassian helped her up. "They're just getting started."

hi guys its me elaine. pretend im standing off into the distance waving at you all enthusiastically.

there are always negatives when drawing stuff for a small/dead/nonexistent fandom, especially when it includes self insert ocs bc it would be lucky enough for someone to recognise the canon character let alone recognise the canon character whilst standing with an unfamiliar new character.

because this is probably one of my best drawings and yet i am hyperaware of the fact that no one will know what this is for just by looking at it and i just have to pray that some people will like it based on the fact that it looks cool rather than because it's fanart of their favourite thing.

auugh but just in case anyone IS interested this is fanart of George Milton from the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, specifically how he's depicted by Gary Sinise in the 1992 film adaptation, and my OC Bronwyn, who I made a Tumblr post about not too long ago explaining who she is, her role and what she represents in the story, as well as design elements.

more tnmn oc stuff!! (bc i forgot i even made her nightmare ver lmao)

based of kuchisake-onna, or the slit mouthed woman! she’s actually pretty polite compared to Elaine and gets along better with the other residents, though she’s way more of an attention seeker

[cressidagrey]

hellooo

love your works💗 i check your blog religiously for new posts

but u know what, i had this idea for a long time, and im wondering what u think about it (since u wrote about stories about 4th archeon sisters).

what if oc saw that azriel tried to court elaine and that didn't go anywhere (bc rhys). and now she doesn't want to be mates with az, cuz wtf. "you want me pretend like Azriel wasn't in love with my sister just 48 hours and give him a chance? just because of what? a bond that snapped now? i don't want to date a homie hopper. i respect myself. unlike any of you apparently."

it's just so funny to me to see him lose his mind and try to get in her good graces. but she just refused and fucking leaves

That's a really interesting take I think! And very believable! Like I wouldn't want to have something with a guy that tried to get with my sister first and then only wants me because of a mating bond 😬

But I wouldn't know how to end that story tbh. Like I write only happily ever afters and...there is like not really a way to get that curve and turn it into something that's happy to me. Like she can go and find her happiness somewhere else but she'll still be stuck bound to him in some mystical way.

[sillymercury]

My thing is the cauldron loves Elain, like canonically obsessed w her so why would it give her a "bad" mate?

Why would it "curse" her to be with Lucien. I think it knew Lucien and her deserved each other. Lucien is one of if not the only good person (maybe Nesta but yall fr ain't ready for that convo) in this world. He never hurt anyone and did shitty things on purpose to people or enacted a personally vendetta that got ppl killed...

In his head giving Elame space is the only thing and the best thing. Even if he was trying she refuses to talk to him, look at him, or even give him any semblance of a chance. So if he was sticking around trying mad hard yall would just say he was trying to force a mating bond she doesn't want.

On top of that Azriel wants a mate, he's been waiting hundreds of years and he wants what his brothers have... which is a mating bond. He only thinks he deserves Elain bc his brothers got a sister. He pined after Mor knowing it would go nowhere and I think he started that w Elain be he thought the same thing. He has deep rooted self hatred and he thinks he doesn't deserve to be loved so as some weird defensive mechanism he only loves ppl who he knows/thinks won't love him back. I wholeheartedly believe if he found his mate in the next book he would choose her over Elain.

Just circling back rq, Elain was born human and made fae. The mating bond isn't as important to her as the other fae or even her other sisters (if anything Feyre and Nesta had the bond forced onto them) bc her mate isn't hanging around doing everything to make her love him.. he's trying to respect her choice and give her distance to sort out being fae... like a hundred years to find herself (it's only fair since he himself has been alive for hundreds of years... more considerate than some of the other mates imo).

I think Elain just has a lot of resentment towards being made fae and a big part of being fae is having a mate so she resents that too. I KNOW if she took time to get to know Lucien and gave him a chance she would fall in love oc he has a pure heart and a good moral compass and personality.

I also feel like I just read like four books going on and on about the joys of being mated only to have that undermined and basically show that it's all pointless bo they even tho they're"perfect" and "made for each other" they could still go out and find someone "better"?? Come tf on neowww😭😭

Anyways Pro Elucien, Anti Elriel

Honestly just Pro Lucien fr, one of the only ppl that genuinely deserves his happy ending, Elame could've rejected him years ago and he could be moving on but she's stringing him along?? If they don't end up together I hope it's bc Lucien puts his foot down and rejects her then moves on w a baddie😂

But fr if I'm not joking when the next book drops and googling it and if Elain ends up w Az and rejects Lucien or Lucien doesn't get a happy ending bc of her straight up l'm not reading it.🤷🏽‍♀️😂

[gxldencity]

maybe it's time to start talking about lucanis and dolores lore on here

[ofishialy]

Elaine answers how she met her first loves! If anyone wants to ask any of my ocs a question, feel free to shoot an ask! This is only from deviantart bc thats the only place people have asked questions lol.
