I just answered an ask, that answer had a read more, that read more did not work, and bc tumblr works great, I coulnd't even delete the part that was suppossed to go into the readmore, so I had to just delete the whole thing.

Here it is again, this time without that info i guess -.-

@gritpyre

3. What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? Where they are right now in the story, they don’t have any money or ability to spend it so as thanks for this ask I will give you little spoiler-y treats about what happens in the future and the far future 😀

Nero will realize quickly how much how you are dressed will influence how people will see you, so he’ll spend a fair amount on different clothes to be able to control how he comes across. Also, he just likes looking good. Alba will one day be gifted a hot chocolate and from that day on, a good chunk of any money she makes will go towards hot chocolate. She’ll be a hot chocolate connoisseur. Not a lot of luxury in her life but the expensive chocolate she gets. My girl will go feral for that. Their biggest purchase is like an end-of-story spoiler so I can't include that cause the read more didn't work. I did accidentally write a whole paragraph about it so I guess if anyone wants to know lmk and I'll dm you :D

8. Describe the place where they sleep.   I’m bad at imagining physical spaces, so I’m even worse at describing them. I am, however, great at wasting time by using a layout planner to show you their whole wagon:

They don’t really have a ton of stuff, or any decoration. In fact, half of the wagon is taken up by general storage of circus-stuff while they’re traveling. They do technically both have a pretty narrow bed next to a small window, but most of the time just sleep together in one. They also sit on the beds, use the nightstand/table to eat, etc. It’s a small and impersonal space, but the only private room they have, so they spend most of their free time there.

10. What objects do they always carry around with them?Again, currently, they don’t have much. Alba especially doesn’t like to actually possess things because when she does, she’s always just afraid of losing them. Nero almost always has a ribbon or strip of fabric on him. He knows Alba doesn’t actually like her long hair, so he makes sure to have something to tie it together with whenever they can.

Later, they each will have a platinum ring they stole. For anyone knowing DnD-spells, I hope I can preemptively break your heart with that :D (A lot of Alba’s character is actually inspired by that spell (Warding Bond, if you wanna look it up) specifically).

If any of you know poetsquarecats, I need you to know that everytime I see Lola and Sad Boy, I think of Alba and Nero

Lil collection post of what ppl want to do to the Director so far after my 4-parter is done now :)

Let's start w this answer to which of my characters should be punched:

Both valid:

These two disagree:

And then my personal faves:

Me at 9pm: oh I think I'm gonna start writing that ONE chapter, but I probably won't get far

Me, now, at 3am:

[siren-of-agony]

For the director , hey I hope your coffee is cold the next morning. And you do not enjoy it at all. Alba dear you're an angel you deserve the world.

The Director surely doesn't make his own coffee. Someone made it for him, and someone made it incorrectly.

That someone is gonna have to learn how to make good coffee, one way or the other.

Alba laughs at that. The people really have weird humor sometimes.

∞ for twin mix. And can I also ask you to shuffle Flightless Bird?

Hell yeah!!

From the twins: Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths

Depending on if it's through a twin-lense or not, i have different faves. In general:

So self-indulgent and self-referential

No audience could ever want you

You crave the applause yet hate the attention

Then miss it, your act is a ruse

For the twins:

The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken

Remember the pact of our youth

Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping

Since there is no me without you

And from Flightless Bird:

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd:

Did they get you to trade

Your heroes for ghosts?

♾️♾️♾️

You send 3 emojis, you get 3 songs!

The first:

Dark Days by HUGOwho

It's a positive song, but of course my fave lines are the depressing ones:

Lets save all the gorgeous words

They're just supposed to lie

Fall apart, and stand up

Let’s get so wild tonight.

Song 2: Baby I'm Dead Inside by Kopps

Am I a freak

Show me how you move

Cause when you break

I'll get a new one

And song 3: And You Evade Him/Born in the Blood by Joshua Burnside

I was a liar

When I said

I am not afraid

I am

[siren-of-agony]

*murdered 8*

Love a murdered 8!

I also went w the twin mix, mostly bc I didn't wanna change playlists, and the next song on was

Big World by Bnny Rbbt

I couldn't decide if my fave lines were at the very start:

If the way home is way out there

The last train left hours ago, albeit I don't care.

Or the end:

Cause it's a big world built for two

And I am fearless when I am with you, sweetheart

At the end of the day, come what may

Every star in this big, big world is ours

[siren-of-agony]

♾ shuffle twin mix!

It's Ivory Black by Oliver Riot!

My fave lines are:

I wanna be loud like white wine after a glass

Warm like the sunshine kissing my back

Drive me crazy, I like it like that

Ivory Black

[siren-of-agony]

what were the inspirations for your story about the tiefling siblings?

Thank you for the question, I love to get to talk about them!

Considering this, I'm also gonna go into detail :D

On Halloween 2018, a few of my friends and I were talking about how funny it is that the official dnd-rules say that tieflings can only be shades of grey and red (which uh... isn't even true. It's human skin colors of humans) and I joked that I'd make a "very dark grey" tiefling and make her vanta-black (so I could also steal from Anish Kapoor, which is nice) and one of my best friends said they'd make a "very light grey one" and just make him completely white, and then we were like "haha we could make them twins", so they literally started as a joke.

A few months later we started to actually talk about their backstory, and it just happened that I was having a seminar in uni about disability studies and freak shows, while my friends was watching a movie about a creepy circus with a sadistic owner, and we kind of.... combined those ideas and made them DnD?

In the coming years, while we barely got to play them, we kept making their backstory more and more detailed, sometimes inspired by other media, sometimes songs gave us ideas, DnD-rules of course had an influence, and sometimes one of made a joke going like "hahah we could do this or this but that would be too edgy, right?" and the other went "...I like it"

so yes, it's an amalgamation of a lot of small things, but I think the reason they got this stuck in my brain and as fleshed out as they are is the collaborative aspect of them.

It's Black Cloud by Playwrite!

I love these lines:

If I were you, I'd start walking

You could make thirty miles a day

It don't seem like much

But you'd be thirty miles away

[siren-of-agony]

♾ for the twin mix, please!

"Waste" by David Vertesi!

My fave line is right at the beginning:

There's an enemy

Sleeping in the skin I've been dreaming in at night

Duochromatic Masterpost

Tiefling twins, Nero, who's so white he almost shines, and Alba, so black she seems to absorb the light around her, living under the sadistic hand of the Circus Director, who loves to collect oddities and make them his.

All their posts will be tagged with Duochromatic, everything that reminds me of them will be tagged duochromatic mood

Common Tropes/CWs: lady whump, sibling whump, physical and mental torture, being forced to perform, something close to an intimate whumper, defiant whumpees (with some anger issues), nonhuman whumpee, also stuff directly out of DND because they started as DND characters.

You Fool Me Again to Quiet My Pride

I loathe, how I’ve been tamed

Run from me, darling

Just a Fire in Your Chest, and You're Melting, All Over Everything

Another Day, Another Night

Can’t Reconcile Who’s to Blame

You Are Ivory, More Than Flesh and Bone

Heavy My Heart Carries Your Weight

On My Knees It’s Your Name that I’m Calling Out

They’ll Never Take My Body From Your Side
