#cays self indulgence

Moonlit dancing~ ✨🌕✨

'Working spells, my ass.' What the Calling boy had done didn't have a word to describe it, something like this should be beyond mere magenwork, but the mage would have known if it was magic. In Idris's hands, the mage's shield had tangled with the dragon's flames, somehow, he had carved channels into Cay's own spell, and they were eating up the fragments of wasted magic being burned by the dragon. The dragon's fire had been turned into a source of fuel to strengthen the shield. 'He doesn't look it but....' Cay thought, as he felt his own spell bowing to the work of another, 'He's dangerous.' Then, looking at the gleeful smile on his face, Cay realized, ‘He doesn’t even know it.’

reminder that cai is not real, the characters are not real, your relationships are not real! be wary and keep an eye on your own screentime. don’t blindly use the app for unhealthily long stretches of time. mentally check yourself! don’t get sucked in. its a fun, self-indulgent app, but that is all it is. it can do more harm than good. unlike cai, you’re real, with real relationships and real people that care about you. please take care of yourselves!

Based on a conversation I was having with @askbloatedbellyblog re: Cater belly kink!

For background, we'd been discussing how Cater canonically dislikes sweets, and I introduced my headcanon that he secretly gorges on savory snacks when in private.

Self indulgent silliness below the rm~

Extremely "😳" thought: 

Imagine... 

Cater has just wolfed down a huge order of loaded nachos, and is basking in the afterglow of his clandestine feast, when Riddle calls an impromptu meeting. 

Cater scrambles to clean all the tortilla crumbs and queso off his uniform and his face. Then he realizes... he's eaten so much, he can barely get his pants buckled. 

Struggling frantically, Cater stuffs himself into his clothes anyway, praying to the Great Seven that his Housewarden won't notice anything's off. 

He arrives, and... ugh, it's as he dreaded. 

Cater tries--he really tries!--to stand stiffly, still, at attention like all the others. Meanwhile, Riddle goes on and on about homework completion rates or whatever.

But. Cater's clothes are too tight. Especially his waistband. He starts shifting from foot to foot, completely stuffed full of nachos, and starting to really regret it. He feels so bloated, greasy, uncomfortable. 

Just when Cater feels like he can't stand it anymore, somebody accidentally bumps into him and he lets out this ridiculously loud mega-burp, right when Riddle's back is turned. 

Riddle whips around, face scarlet in affront. "Who did that?!" he demands to know.

Silence. 

Riddle sniffs the air, then begins to positively grind his teeth in anger. 

"And why, pray tell, does it suddenly smell like jalapenos and chili peppers in here?!"

Cater breaks out in cold sweat. On one hand... that belch just alleviated so much pressure. Yes. He really needed that! Miraculously, his pants feel like they fit now! 

On the other hand, Riddle is going to find him out, and then probably remove his head from hia body, and not even in the metaphorical sense! 

Riddle marches up and down the aisle while all stand in line at attention, drill-sergeant style, giving each "soldier" a suspicious look, and a once-over with narrowed eyes. 

Cater is about to have a panic attack right there and then, when.

Unexpectedly, Trey steps forward with a hand raised and an embarrassed smirk. 

"Sorry Riddle, that was me."

"Trey??" Riddle and several others--Cater included--gasp.

"Ahh, yeah," Trey laughs and sheepishly rubs his stomach. "See, I've been experimenting with some sweet-and-spicy recipes lately. And, uhh, the results have been a little, volatile."

Riddle draws himself up, glares at his vice prefect, then snaps, 

"Well, alright... I suppose I can excuse your indiscretion just this once! But, no more of this 'experimenting' within the Heartslabyul walls without my explicit say-so, understand?"

"Of course, Housewarden," Trey replies with a slight bow, as a few others chuckle in relief now that the tension is dispersed.

After the meeting is over, Cater runs to Trey, feeling near-collapse with gratitude. 

"Trey-Trey, omg, you're the man!" Cater grips his friend by the shoulders and shakes him, a little insistent. "Why'd you cover for me like that, though?"

Trey just gives his classic cockeyed smirk, and starts laughing quietly. 

"Cay-kun, did you realize you have queso on your chin?"

To Cater's mortification, Trey uses his handkerchief to wipe his face. 

"Hey, it's ok," Trey assures his friend in an undertone. "You're allowed to like whatever kind of food you like. Please don't feel like you need to subsist on cherry pies and sweet tea, just because you're in Heartslabyul."

"Ughh, duuude," Cater laughs, trying to play off the genuine gratitude he feels but doesn't quite know what to do with. "I know you're right, but... Housewarden Rosehearts is kind of a handful, isn't he? How do you deal with him so easily?"

At this, Trey's smug grin becomes "knowing," and, wry, he shakes his head. 

"Let's just say... I've known Riddle for quite a long time now. And in that time, I've learned the best ways to keep him appeased."

"Like how?" Cater asks. 

"Well, for example..." Trey leans in, like he's divulging a deep secret. "After today, I'm going to have to make sure I have plenty of chili-cornbread and jalapeno-honey muffins for him to sample."

"In fact, if you happen to have the time, would you care to drop by the Heartslabyul kitchen and perhaps help me bake some?"

Anon that suggested the PixelChat AKA PixelArse app here. I used it and yeah, that was a crap suggestion on my behalf (sorry). Even Spicychat is crapping out. Looks like JanitorAI and it's own LLM will have to do, seeing it's actually better than Character AI and Spicy (which have turned to crap). Flawed but way better.

honestly … think cai is still top for me. ive def seen a lot of people say its gotten worse but i dunno, havent seen the decline myself. granted, i mainly only use my bots, and i do have private ones that are just pure self indulgence for me so i can be a bit more specific in defining them. i think im just attached to the festures of cai, multiple/unlimited personas, the fact that it mirrors how u are (short answers, short responses.. spelling mistakes.. bot makes mistakes) as long as ur well written enough its great and reflects how u write. jai just seems difficult for me to understand but ive gotten better, but i do think a bot i made there is more character accurate than the same one on cai. still experimenting!

Self indulgent CAI RP inspired shitty art

[frankenbuggee]

I'm sorry I'm like this but: does DnDevious still have a son? Or is he free of offspring? If he still has a son, is he ever mentioned by him or other party members? ...is son present? (Tysm!)

Never apologise for being like this! I love it.

Ah you mean Artemy? Hmm I hadn’t thought much about it in the cai chats he’s not mentioned oops but I’d say Artemy is still around but just isn’t following Devious around. More independent in DnD as he would be a full devil like Devious. Devious is a rather proud Dad so I’m sure he’s mentioned Artemy without much prompting for sure xD

I had also been playing with the concept of Devious and the elf woman (Alexandra) having a child but that’s more self indulgent entertainment I think 💀

Size doesn’t intimidate either of them~❤️

[rodolfoparras]

My bf has been making a lot of private self indulgent cai bots recently of supernatural and he shows me them sometimes and his writing is so insane???

I love reading it and he's made actual stories out of some pirate ocs we've made and they were so cool

Trying to convince him to write fics because I think he'd have a lot of fun with it and people would really like it, but he's nervous (he's also autistic and hates being perceived or being thought of as cringe)

Wrestling my boyfriends fears rn because his writing is so good 🤼‍♂️🤼‍♂️🤼‍♂️ and also fighting society for labeling interests as cringe, fuck those guys

-🐧

Oh well hello he’s more than welcome to the community!! There aren’t many writing blogs active atm so having a new writer join would be absolutely beautiful!!

But I totally understand feeling hesitant or nervous. I’ve said this before but I’ll say it now again as long as you enjoy it, it’s not cringe

For example someone can be like what the fuck Alec how can you write about piss that’s so embarrassing look at this Drabble who’d even write this

In that moment I have to be able to proudly say and feel well I like this piece and I know someone out there who’s into the same stuff as me will also enjoy it !

How do each of your OCs react to/feel about themselves gaining weight? Who tries to deny it and who loves it?

Hohooo, here’s a fun ask~

I could go into more depth here but since this is an all-OCs ask I’ll try to keep things short-

Junwei: Delighted. Growing larger has made Junwei more comfortable in her body that she’s ever been. They feel great, they look great, what’s not to love?

Addison: When they notice, Addison would probably give a very nonplused “Oh…huh.” and then file that away in the back of their mind to figure out their feelings on later (they like it hehehe).

City: As a naturally very inquisitive person, City would likely take this as an opportunity for some self exploration with a heaping helping of indulgence.

Cai: Already covered in this post. Xe would deny it, but only to get attention.

Beltran: Does not own a scale, which is his excuse for why it takes him so damn long to notice that he’s putting on weight. Beltran looks in the mirror and thinks ‘pretty sure I was always this fat’.

Farisha: On her own, Farisha might be a little slow to realise that she’s put on weight. However with Edith as her partner, the teasing (which Farisha loves) is pretty instantaneous.

Edith: Not overly bothered about her own size, but again, Farisha is her partner, and using her weight to Farisha flustered never gets old.

Emile: For Emile, this is a disaster that could ruin his public image! It takes awhile for him to actually consider how he feels about gaining weight, but when he does, he realises he likes it quite a bit.

Hello!

TBH I considered posting this fic here but I truly can’t be bothered to figure out how to put all the links and everything so I’ll just post the whole fic once it’s finished on AO3. In the meantime, I have literally So Much to say about this fic because it’s been rotting my brain for weeks now, and there’s only so much I can fit in the author’s notes, so here we are!

DON’T READ PAST HERE IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS

Second interlude:

This chapter is sooo self indulgent. Like with Cai Yiben's interlude, I wanted to give one to Wei Ying too, but for purely selfish reasons. Wei Wuxian is one of my favorite characters of all time ever, and it was hard writing him as a secondary character this time around so I needed to give him his own pov, no matter how short.

I wanted to make Wei Ying's relationship with Jiang Yanli reminiscent of canon but definitely different. That part where she tries to play "Xianxian is three" but Wei Ying deflects is supposed to be bittersweet; on one hand, it is sad that she's losing that part of him that she always held dear, but on the other he no longer needs that from her, which is good. Wei Ying in this time had the space and safety to be a child, to know he was safe and had caregivers he could rely on. Of course, that is going to change him.

And with Jiang Yanli now his definitive mother, not just a martial-sister-mother-substitute like she was in canon. She was shijie for a reason, and that's because she filled too many roles in his life to be summed up in one word, thus shijie adopted a very specific meaning for the two of them. In this world, she is his mother--that's it. They don't have to navigate the discrepancies of class or social expectations or gender roles. Their relationship thus becomes easier yet harder, simple yet complicated. But more importantly, it becomes socially acceptable for them to act and be close.

I'm weak for Wei Ying being loved, sue me. At the end, when Wei Ying is so sure and confident he's loved... that killed me when I wrote it. I just stared at the computer screen for a moment and willed myself not to cry lmaoooo

Can’t recall if I’ve ever said this here (I maybe have, I feel like I’ve at least implied it???) but my bs explanation for Cay as a concept that totally fits into the world of Pokemon, what are you talking about guys, is that he’s kind of loosely a form of Deoxys. Or rather a similar entity to whatever Deoxys is.

My reasoning was essentially if there can be a Pokemon that’s a mutated space virus that came in on a meteorite and (presumably) adapted it’s form to be like a Pokemon because that’s the type of world it landed on, could that concept not be used in other ways. I interpreted it as whatever Deoxys is, it’s a type of creature that adapts to be similar to the dominant species of a planet (it is a weird combo of a Pokemon with a “human-shaped” body). Sort of an assimilate/disguise strategy.

But whatever Cay is was still in a kind of dormant state when it was inserted into Valen, so when it “awakened,” it more assimilated with its host vs becoming its own entity with a physical form or even just fully taking over its host (but that’s why it can presumably fully take over Valen if it really wanted to). This whole scenario could have easily gone horribly for Valen and even the Cipher scientists were kind of just winging it. Could have become some kind of body horror monster movie on the operating table. But perhaps the Cipher scientists had done enough tests at this point they assumed this wasn’t likely going to be the outcome and had safeguards in place. Body mods (in my headcanon at least) are a big thing Cipher dabbles in, even very extreme kinds of modifications. It’s why so many of the major Cipher villains in the games are off looking and appear to have odd abilities.

Like always I’m just running on vibes and going the self indulgent route vs “does this actually make sense from a lore/worldbuilding standpoint,” but yes, Cay kinda sorta being a type of Deoxys is my explanation for why he totally fits into a Pokemon setting.
