The Dying Light

Summary: The group finally has made it to the Shadow-cursed lands in seek of a cure

Prev: The Perfect crime part 2 part 3 masterlist

Tw: Violence and angst

Darkness was no stranger to borrowers, Freya had lurked in the shadows for her entire life, but the shadowlands left a pit of dread within her that only attempted to grow as they walked down the dreary pathway. All those fears she had from this journey, the heartache from the exile, and every event that threatened to knock her down in the pit of despair was nothing compared to the curse that ruled over the lands. Venturing through felt hopeless.

The only thing that kept herself from giving in was the torch Tav held to light the way. The crackling flames served as a reminder to the shadows to stay away from everyone. Leaning her head against Tav's neck, she felt as though they could make it through this hellscape.

“You still have that ring around you.” Tav asked.

Freya nodded and adjusted the ring that wrapped around her waist. “Astarion wouldn't let me come along unless I had it.”

“Smartest thing he's done yet.”

“I can hear you.” Astarion scoffed as he marched up to their side. “The curse doesn't make you deaf.”

“Our mistake,” Freya jested as she popped her head out of the hood to shoot a teasing grin his way. “We just didn't know you were a ‘details person.’”

Karlach and Shadowheart snickered behind them, which prompted an eye roll from him.

“She's got a point there.” Said the cleric.

“We're not too far from others, my dear.” He shot a leer over at Freya. “I could always take you back. A borrower has no place scouting ahead with us.”

“No.” Tav said firmly.

“They're right, we shouldn't split up.” The tiefling added. “Just stay close to mama K until we find a spot safe enough to set up camp.”

“Leaving the barbarian who can smash whatever lurks around here?” Freya let out a giggle. “Wouldn't even think about it.”

“Perhaps Freya has a point, Karlach is the only source of warmth in these chilling lands.”

“What do you know about warmth?” Shadowheart said with a titter.

“Who goes there?!”

Everyone stopped upon hearing the commanding voice, keeping close to the shadows of the rocky cavern. Halsin warned that there wouldn't be other living creatures wandering in the shadowlands. Light from a torch inched closer to them.

“Show yourself!”

“I'm just a peaceful monk.” Tav responded.

“I've seen a monk rip the spine of a man once!” The leader shouted. “Come out into the light!”

As Tav took a few steps forward, Freya pressed herself closer to their neck to keep herself hidden. In the dim light, she could see three humans and a dwarf. The two men aimed their crossbows at Tav, while a woman with her hair tied back treaded over to shine the torch in their face. Her hazel eyes studied them and then landed on the borrower. Freya suppressed a gasp and tried to shuffle that.

“What is that?” She asked.

The other three moved closer and Tav instantly pulled their hood forward in an attempt to conceal Freya. “Please, don't fret over this one.”

“Then you'll have no trouble showing us.” The other woman snapped out.

Freya felt their muscles tense up beneath her and she only mirrored their worries, being seen still invoked dread within the borrower. Everyone agreed that Freya shouldn't be seen unless necessary, and while this would be the exception, Freya still prayed that Tav could talk their way out of bringing her out.

The shadows morphed behind the older man, forming into mangled hands that knocked him down, dropping his crossbow. Before he could even react, those very same hands grabbed him by the ankles and dragged him off into the pitch black shadows.

“Yonas!” The woman called out. “Can you hear us?”

“I think I'm alright.” He called out.

“Follow the light!” She called out.

“Something's wrong, I can't-!” An agonizing scream bellowed in the darkness only to be choked off in an instant. Grief from the soldiers weighed heavier than the darkness could. The woman in charge could only choke out his name before the heavy footfalls emerged from the trees.

Shambling towards the light was Yonas, but the veins on his face pulsed a decaying green that snaked its way to his lifeless eyes. He reached his hand towards his fellow commander. “There you are… come… join me!” His now raspy voice echoed in the darkness, alerting more shadows to stalk forward.

“Harpers!” The commander shouted. “To arms!”

Karlach charged forward, her greataxe swung towards a nearby shadow, but it dodged and slashed her in retaliation. She staggered back, giving the spector the perfect opportunity to slink back into the darkness.

Tav spun around, torch held high in an attempt to ward off the darkness. The air grew colder as another shadow rose from the ground in front of the halfling. They threw a punch its way, Freya had to cling onto their robes to avoid falling. It would have been a small price to pay to defeat the enemy, but that shadow barely reacted! In a haste effort, Freya shot back at the shadow. Had this been a normal foe, this would have stunned them momentarily, nothing happened either. “Shit!”

Radiant enhanced arrows flew towards the shadow, a haunting screech erupted from it before it disappeared right before their eyes. A short victory until more shadows crept forward.

“You three, get behind me!” Shadowheart commanded as a divine energy veiled around her like spirits protecting their goddess. “I'll handle this!”

Tav and Karlach rushed to their cleric while shadows chased after them, arrows from Astarion flew past them to keep them at bay until they reached the radius of the Spirit Guardians. It was like an oasis in a desert, the shadows inched closer but those divine spirits came after them with fury! Their weakened state made them easy pickings, Karlach swung her ax with glee. It seemed like the battle was nearing the end… until an arrow from Yonas struck Shadowheart in the shoulder.

She staggered back with a cry and in an instant, those Spirit Guardians vanished. Those shadows swarmed them like flies, a fiery rage burst out from Karlach, slashing at shadows like there was no tomorrow!

“Get her out of here!” Astarion shouted at Tav. “I'll cover you!”

Tav’s quick steps easily evaded the enemies, running out in the opening.

“Where the hells am I going to go?” Freya yelled out. “There's no safe place here!”

“Somewhere to hide until this is over!”

There was a split second where Freya saw the clawed hand rise from the ground, she tried to warn Tav but everything happened so fast, their ankle got latched onto and they tumbled to the ground.Freya cried out as her world became a whirlwind, clinging onto Tav's robes with all her might, but it was too much. She hit the ground with a harsh thud, the ring that wrapped around her waist only worsened the fall, she was already feeling a bruise on her back forming. Immediately, Freya felt the shadow curse plaguing her body, there was no time to lie in agony; she sat up and vigorously rubbed the gem of the ring, to activate it. It flickered on to give her a small sanctuary for her, expelling the pain from the curse. Yet, its light was waning and the horror began to settle in, the ring was cracked from the fall, she wouldn't last long without Tav!

Freya locked onto Tav who was using their quarterstaff as a barrier between the shadow that was on top of them. She ran towards them, unsure of what to do, but she had to try! Unfortunately, a shadow had other plans. Rising from the ground to block her way, it stared down at her with those soulless eyes and tried to slash at her. Freya narrowly dodged it again and again until she reached the edge of a cliff.

“HELP!”

“Shit!” Astarion locked eyes with the tiny woman and ran towards her with a dagger in hand. He was quick, but not quick enough, the shadow slashed at Freya the moment Astarion plunged the dagger into its back to finally kill it. She stumbled back to the edge where her heels hung off. Freya desperately tried to keep her balance, but nothing could stop her from falling, not even the dexterous vampire. Those red eyes never left her gaze, both could only watch in horror as gravity separated them. Freya burst out in a scream as she plummeted into the darkness.

Digimon Tamers: Digimon Medley - Part 1 Impressions

Another Digimon game for the Wonderswan color. This is probably the most low effort game I've played yet. Super repetitive dialogue and the dungeons are all like 8 screens of boringness with vending machines being the only thing you can interact with. The game has "episodes" and goes through all of Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 in a condensed fashion. It feels really similar to .Hack//Link. I wonder if there's a name for this sort of genre...

Anyways, I'm expecting this game to be pretty short, but I thought I'd get my thoughts in at the halfway point.

Notes:

I do enjoy playing as a different digidestined every episode, but they all play relatively the same, so it can only be so exciting.

Every single battle and boss fight have felt equally easy so far, zero challenge. I feel like they couldn't make it too challenging because there's no leveling and no equipment you can use, so everything has to stay pretty much static.

The dialogue is practically the same every episode. "X bad guy controls this area and the digimon are suffering!" and then "Mwahaha as if you could defeat me chosen children!" and then "Yay! We defeated X bad guy! The digimon in this area are free." Ground breaking stuff. If anyone wants a ridiculously easy translation project, it's free real estate lol.

The Japanese text has spaces in it, which suggests to me that the target audience for this was very very young. It kind of feels like I'm playing one of those McDonald's kids toy games at points lol.

The chibi character models are very cute. Seeing the Tamers characters crucified is also kinda hilarious.

Here's a screenshot of Piyomon calling Sora "Mimi." Oops! She calls her Sora shortly after though...

[basilbunni]

any physical nina and jack hcs? like how they look, disabilities, how strong they are etc?

i am SO glad you asked :D i've got a lot of them so buckle in LOL

(all under the cut this is a biggie)

nina:

this goes without saying, but obviously i completely see nina as a scene queen who leans into "trashy y2k" (she's a huge fan of ke$ha and the millionaires)

i feel like shes also totally for getting a lot of piercings because she enjoys feeling bedazzled all throughout the day even if shes sleeping or in pjs/comfy clothes

an absolute glitter FIEND to the point that she's the person putting glitter in her shampoo, glitter in her perfume, glitter accessories, glittery makeup, drink shimmer in everything— literally anything that can be glittery will be glittery

going back to music though, i think her top bands are paramore, the millionaires, and ke$ha— like she's a very healthy mix of scenemo and y2k and it really serves

i also know i draw nina a lot different than other people AND I AM TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN MWAHAHA

so my nina does not have a full body bleach because (if i remember right, great, if i don't this is my canon) she gets the acid/bleach dumped over her which i am of the impression it would only bleach her face

i also think that nina would have a moment of clarity after and thats why she would let her smile cuts heal over and scar

i think the chemicals would also get rid of a LOT of her nerve endings in her face so she would not feel a lot of the previously mentioned piercings

i also think her hair would be crispy crunchy from all the hairspray and hair dye and being lit on fire

i can see her also being a big fan of led lights— like the idea of being able to constantly change the color of things around her to match her vibes or her outfit seem totally fitting

onto disabilities, i think nina definitely has QUITE the handful of mental illnesses, but i also feel like she would have pcos which would lean into her wanting to be more feminine from an infertility standpoint and "wanting to be more of a woman" so to speak

as for the mental illnesses she is 150% someone with bpd in my mind. i also think she suffers with psychosis and ptsd, as well as i think she would be on the spectrum (she's def got a special interest in fashion/design)

i also think a lot of those would pop up in her childhood, namely the bpd and the ptsd, because of the bullies and the outcasting, but i think jeff's influence on her life would lead to more prominent symptoms and reactions alongside psychosis and delusions caused by the psychosis

she's also got a problem with obsession and obsessive tendencies (as i think we all know or acknowledge— i have no clue if that was canon in original but fanon hast declared it)

i do think she's definitely strong so to speak, probably a bit more than the average person, but i think her "strength" would come from agility and flexibility when it came to murders

that being said i think she was definitely in dance and gymnastics when she was a kid which contributes to that

i do also think that she gets hurt pretty often regardless because she gets trigger happy and loses her accuracy (much to jack's dismay)

shes way more spry and quick than most people so while maybe you could out-strengthen her, you couldn't outrun her and she would be able to slip out of difficult positions easily

totally off of vibes but she lived in the midwest before the slendermansion

like as someone in the midwest of america that story REEKS of midwest 👎

jack:

so i feel like jack leans more into a simple emo getup— hoodie and jeans, flannel and jeans, not super showy (but nina would definitely dress him up)

its giving very overdressed girlfriend and underdressed boyfriend (at least next to her he is)

jack doesn't necessarily listen to a lot of emo songs though, honestly its a really healthy mix of everything "alt" so to speak

when it comes to disabilities, jack has super noticeable ocd

he's always super clean, always organized, everything has a place and it's in it's place (the complete opposite of nina who is the messiest person on earth)

he's definitely got other things like ptsd, depression, etc etc but i think the ocd definitely plays a HUGE role to the point that it's way more important to get across than anything else is because a lot of the mental illnesses of creepypastas are assumable (in my mind at least but i am super into psychology)

i don't think jack has any super noticeable disabilities and my justification is because he is literally a demon they don't usually have a problem unless they're a sinner in origin and mr man was sacrificed not a sinner

i don't think his vision is perfect for a demon though, i do think that the lack of eyeballs is a bit deterring there

doctor handwriting

very very doctor handwriting

there's a big separation in the way he acts whenever he's level-headed and whenever he's remotely emotional

i do think it's fairly hard to get him over that point of level-headedness though— he's very calm and collected until something is pretty personal or sensitive

i've seen a lot of people on here (one or two LMFAO) call him a feline-type demon which i agree with to a degree, he purrs and he's definitely got almost pressure points that make him purr, but i don't believe in the tail (arrest me i am an early 2010s creepypasta fan it takes me by surprise every time)

i do also indulge in elf ear jack i thoroughly enjoy that

jack definitely has a few piercings, but not nearly as many as nina (because thats a VERY high bar)

in terms of strength— i feel like my headcanons are pretty assumable because jack is a demon

he's already pretty strong as is, like he is nothing to fuck with even when he's calm and collected and unprovoked— but get him riled up and i think its a million times worse

there's less of a barrier whenever he's emotional because it creates this blurry-headedness that obviously does not mix well with being a demon and the emotions make him go from like this normal mode to a much scarier much more intense "final form demon" mode

if you take anything out of the strength portion, take "dont fuck with the demon" out of it 🫶

i mentioned that nina lived in the midwest, jack lived on the east coast (namely new jersey)

if you made it this far have another piece of art i made for my ipad background of the sillies (theyre on nina's couch cuddling i love them)

if yall want relationship hcs next lmk.... or shoot me an ask if you want other characters bc istg i've been holding onto these since i was 10

[sooshii]

Nice to meet you!

I'm new to blog posting and social media in general (I know - What kind of rock have you been living under, Sooshii???) During my research going down all sorts of rabbits holes on where to interact with other fic-writers, I came across tumblr. Now me being the shy sushi roll that I am, I internally screamed for a good few days, weeks, months before working up the courage to finally get this ball rolling.

In case you can't tell, I'm a shy bean. I'm also not a minor, but I won't divulge my age - please respect ♡ The internet is a scary place after all!

So with all that said, a bit about myself! :)

Pronouns:

she/her

Fandoms:

Currently writing: FFVII - multi relationship oc AU fandom Reading: Hazbin Hotel, MHA, DAI, FFXIV, Avatar, One Piece, HP, AOT, JJK, multiple Villainess ones to list, and a couple Trails ones. I'm always searching for new ones to obsess over hueeeee And I read too many pairings to list...

Interests/Hobbies:

Reading! I read too many books and fandoms to count. My current fixation is all things FFVII but other fandoms I enjoy are listed above - however the rest of the list is way too long to toss on here so take what is listed as a "this is only a few". And my ships! Oh my ships... Vary from all ranges of characters ahhh I'm such a simp especially for the bad guys huuuueeee :'D

Writing! I write too! I recently started rewriting my first AU fic from a few years back. I'm hoping as I get more confident in myself, I can even branch out to other stories. I'll probably start posting little updates here every now and then when chapters get posted ^_^ My AO3 if you wanted to check my stuff out :) There's too many pairings, lore, world building, angst, fluff, and character tormenting ideas I have floating around in my head to count <o> Yes, I love to make my characters suffer. I'm a bit of a sadist that way -cackles- :3

Drawing! I draw and sketch a lot too. Someday soon you'll see a few of my little doodles floating around... when I get the courage to post them for the world to see. Shy bean, remember? :p

Cats! I own the sweetest little voidbean ever. She is my pride and joy. I absolutely love and adore black cats! Other cats are adorable too, but black cats are the light in my deep, dark, evil little soul mwahaha -ahem- I mean they're super cute :)

Anyways, please drop by, say hell, shoot me a polite message to chat, request a silly doodle - whatever you'd like within reason!

It's amazing to meet you and I hope to see you around!

[girly0128]

Poor Jade… He didn’t have to go through this… But I’m an evil artist who enjoys the suffering of innocent OCs! MWAHAHA!!! (Tune in next week for Chapter Sixteen’s cover art!)

[pixelatedraindrops]

NAH SPENCER I WAS HONESTLY WAITING FOR YOU TO PUT HIM THROUGH THE RINGER... >:D Yessss make him suffer mwahaha~!😈

And you did not disappoint! Dw this is very well done!! I’m loving that headache/fever combo and that super grumpy face. Also those pjs and socks are so good and wrapped in the blanket too, perfect~ >w<

"THIS TEA'S TOO HOT...!" Lmao. He'd be the worst to deal with being ill, I just KNOW it... Talk about an impatient patient heheh~

Also the little doodle of him at the bottom w you is precious <3

I'm so glad you joined in the fun! I hope you enjoyed putting him through it heheheh >:3c

Thank you for the eyecandy!! I really do enjoy this hehe~ 💜

@pixelatedraindrops hiii im late but happy bday pixel!!! now i know u dont like him much but.. figured maybe ud enjoy seeing him suffer... lol

[witheringwidgetwrites]

If you like, obey me guys with an MC who suffers from chronic pain, specifically that they have a hard time keeping up with the brothers when walking?

Ooo!!! Definitely excited to write bc I relate!! Im actually disabled 😎 im an abulatory wheelchair user so im tempted to make a HC w them reguarding smth like that?? Anyway i get it, so here is my most accurate potrayal mwahaha

Just to add some clarification, im gonna reference some symptoms I personally deal with, though I will do so vaguely! Chronic fatigue means many diff things for many folks so, yk. Also They're all tall, fit, superhuman strength, so even your average person probably couldn't keep up? Idk but i think it would be dramaticly different for mc vs the boys

Edit/ got way too into this lol, sorry. I did mostly use the slow walking as a reference, but less so any swaying, excess sleeping, passing out. This is harder to write about than i originally thought? It's hard to encompass so many symptoms in 1 thing lol, anywau enjoy!! I hope this is okay!!

edit2- I FOGOT ASMO AND belph im so sorry, will add later

Lucifer

At first? Kind of a selfish ass. Not directly, but he gets obviously a lil ticked when MC is significantly slower than everyone else. Like this is inconvenient for him, almost feels like MC is doing it on purpose.

Mostly thinks about how it's an inconvenience, how humans are delicate and weak, but as his relationship with MC grows, he's a lot more interested in WHY mc is so fatigued. How does it feel for them?

Will at some point gets the guts to ask. Wouldn't before though because he wouldn't want it to look like he's super interested in MC, but once he accepts that he's in love? Oh boy.

He'll add extra time in the schdule from now on, at least a couple minutes so he and MC can walk at a more leisurely pace. It's hard for him to adjust, because he's usually striding, fairly quickly.

Grows to kind of enjoy it? Taking things slow. It's a nice change for him, but it's a lot of how he shows that he cares. The breaks, stopping to "look" at a shop window when he hears MC breathing a little heavier or when they start to slow down a little more, trudging instead of walking.

Does a fair amount of research on human conditions. If it's a medical condition or not, he'll do what he can to support you. May even assist on your weeks being half online, half in person? So you could have more rest time. It would ensure that Dia's favorite exchange student is preforming to the best of their ability with their accessibility needs being met!!

Will pick you up from the couch and put you in your bed. Sometimes his. Wink.

Mammon

I think Mammon, even originally, was really interested in MC at first glance. He's got a weird protective need? Like must nurture,,,, human,,,

Will keep walking until he realizes MC didn't respond to what he said. Then turns around are sees MC quite a bit behind him and he's confused. Why are they so slow?

Will ask MC, "are most humans so slow?" But doesn't seem malicious about it at all, it's a genuine question. He's had limited contact with humans and they've never really walked anywhere.

Will pick MC up, or tells MC to jump on his back. Doesn't ask, but squats down and gestures.

Will poke fun at MC unless they seem upset about it. Doesn't really mind how slow they are though, it's just an adjustment period for a while.

(Sorry, pov switch.)

On bad days, he'll absolutely help if you ask. He'll bring food and water, by himself, but has trouble thinking of other ways to help without being asked specifically. Probably picks up their homework too, small tasks that they mention.

He's not likely to ask you directly, you'll have to bring up the serious conversation. He just accepts the fatigue as part of MC, doesn't consider that its not normal or is a medical issue? He's willing to put in more effort if you ask though, if he can make things easier for you? He's in. Tries to condense your hang outs too, like the places you go, just so you do the least amount of walking possible.

Overall, 8/10 support.

Leviathan

You're walking to RAD together on a day for a student counsel meeting, the first time he's been out with you, and after a couple minutes of rambling he realizes you've fallen behind?

"Do you not walk to walk with me?" Genuinely a little dejected, feels bad and realizes he's done ALL the talking??

Hopefully you say something like, "no no I love walking with you, I just get so so tired so fast," because he'll respond fairly well. "Oh okay," and then moves on, walking significantly slower. If you watch, you'll notice him looking over and at his feet more often, seems like he's checking his pace?

Once he realizes more so how bad your fatigue gets, and you both grow closer, he'll make more of an effort to leave his own room and go to yours. When he's super uncomfortable, he'll at least meet you at your room to walk you to his room. So you can have company.

Does try to go out of his way to make things easier. Also probably brings it up weeks/months later. Asks you if it's normal. Probably brings it up when your symptoms are especially bad one day, or when you're so tired and cant keep your eyes open.

Isn't one to consider it a burden. It's definitely a change because his legs are a lot longer so he's natrually faster, but he learns to take smaller steps.

Satan

Similarly to Lucifer, feels inconvenienced. His first thoughts are only about himself, only starts thinking about why, how, the details once he gets closer with you.

It's a sudden relevation once he gets the hint that you might feel embarrassed or like a burden? Switches up pretty fast. He's slightly fatigued after his "episodes" for lack of better word, but he imagines its maybe similar to what you experience?

You're sitting in the library, and suddenly he pipes up and asks you. "Is there a reason you're so tired all the time? Why does walking bother you so much?" And as you explain, his curiosity is satiated for the time being. He's silent for a minute after you respond, then, "is it embarrassing?"

Offers some casual reassure once you respond. Tells you that you shouldn't be embarrassed, and that you should accept the things you can't change.

"Would it help if I walked slower from now on? Or would walking be easier if I went with you to and from your classes?" It's a secret plot to spend time together.

He's unlikely to bring you food, but almost has a ritual of bringing you a water bottle every time? Like a human world water bottle? Not sure where he got them. If you inquire about it, he'll tell you that he read how staying hydrated is very helpful for your condition.

Is insistant on the water thing. Also, when you go to the library together, he'll have a small area set up so you can sit while he looks, your stuff is ready and he'll bring you back a book or two with a small flush on his face.

Beelzebub

Notices as you start to slow down, but isn't concerned really, just starts walking slower. But once you start barely moving, he's holding his arm around you until you get to the next bench on the pathway. Belphie had similar issues when they first fell, so the switch to walking slower is much easier for him than anyone, though is now curious as to why you, a human, are having the same issue.

"Did you not eat enough today?" Once you chuckle at him and explain, he's still thinking about food. "Would eating more help?" "Not really, I just get super tired and need more sleep later."

When you hang out, in the kitchen, at school, anywhere outside of your room, he's ready to head home by like, 8pm. He doesn't say it, but he assumes you need to be in bed super early. He's willing to settle for 10, but any later than that and he feels morally responsible for your fatigue.

He gets used to you sleeping in his bed though. He's totally going to get a blanket and a pillow for you and set it near/in the kitchen. He wants to cook but he'd also like to hang out, but you also need sleep, so this is his comprimise.

You both become cuddle partners very fast. It starts with hanging out, and then you fall asleep in his bed and he sleeps on the floor. Once you wake up in the middle of the night and force him back into the bed, he's very stiff for like, a hot minute until you snuggle up to him and doze off.

His help is mostly going to be sustinence. He'll bring you something small from when he goes to eat, or he'll pick up any extra work you have. Is also constantly ready to carry you where ever you'd like. Piggy back rides to RAD? Sure, where do you need dropped off?

[927roses-and-stuff]

Saw a reblog of yours and now I want your headcanons on gay Piper McLean, if you have them

Gay Piper McLean headcanons huh 👀👀

Mwahaha I have a lot and since this is my second time drafting this atm i'm going to cry if Tumblr fucks up on me

!!!!HOO AND TOA SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!

Piper's gay awakening was probably Thalia but she definitely had a lot of unrealized celebrity crushes in the past

Piper isn't into fashion but if she had to choose, it would be Kristen Stewart, specifically this hairstyle:

Piper's pronouns are she/they

Piper's favourite queer artists are King Princess and Janelle Monae

Not Piper, but Tristan McLean is a raging bisexual that does drag shows on the side

Piper and Shel have matching industrial piercings like this:

Piper and Shel go to Pride every year on a motorcycle with as many pride flags as they can handle streaming behind them

Piper relates to Catra the most and you already know season four made her cry a lot

Piper also like Raya and the Last Dragon and she definitely wishes Disney got the balls to do a Rayaari kiss

maybe im projecting a little bit

Okay serious maybe controversial headcanon time so Jason/Piper fans, feel free to skip

Piper suffered a serious case of compulsive heterosexuality thanks to Hera and Aphrodite. While Jason was one of her best friends, Piper didn't like him the same way he liked her or the same way she now likes Shel. She felt obligated to stay in a relationship she remembered (even though she knew it was the Mist) and felt obligated to have a boyfriend because of her mom

Like Jason and Piper were a cute ship, but it definitely wasn't the healthiest of ships. Maybe it was just how I read it, but Piper spent most of their relationship being insecure about the status of their relationship or trying to justify its existence. Like there were definitely cute moments, but most of those I read from Jason's POV

Basically they both deserved better for a whole bunch of reasons

Jason wholeheartedly supports Piper and her sexuality btw (even if it stings a little bit being told your ex might never have been totally attracted to you). He even attends with Piper and Shel to their first Pride after their break up

Piper hates hates hates the words f*g and d*ke because it's what bullies used to call her at school and even when she didn't know what it meant, it still leaves a sour taste in her mouth. She can't even tolerate other queer people saying it

Piper never wanted to stay in the closet for long because it felt like her entire life was spent locking parts of herself away so the moment she realized she was gay she just went with it because fuck everyone else, her mother was the goddess of love- she knew what she was doing

Anyways, back to the fun headcanons

The Aphrodite Cabin has a set of albums where they collect pictures of cute celebrities. When Piper came out, most of the Aphrodite cabin crowded her with these albums, trying to figure out her type

Technically, Piper didn't come out; she just entered the cabin one day blasting to Girl in Red

Piper didn't officially come out to Tristan, she just brought Shel over and introduced her as her girlfriend

Piper started a GSA (Gender Sexuality Alliance) club at camp because apparently the other children of the love goddess didn't think of that before

Piper first experimented with girls a month after she and Jason broke up. She told Jason about her attraction to girls while they were dating though and identified as bisexual during Heroes of Olympus

"be gay do crime" is totally her life motto like come on

I have more but this is the third dam time I had to type this out so here's Piper Mclean's celebrity crush list

Buffy Sainte-Marie

Kristen Stewart

Winona Ryder

Hayley Kiyoko as Stevie from Wizards of Waverly Place

Princess Nokia

Billie Eilish

Asia Jackson

Lyrica Onako

Letitia Wright- specifically as Shuri

She'd probably like a few blonde celebrities but i don't really know who she would like (aside from like Captain Marvel) so I didn't bother finding them

And that's pretty much most of my headcanons! Thank you for the ask and I hope you enjoyed looking through them 🤗

[intermundia]

Bahahah 😂 😂 😂  is it better or worse to say that you will know when we hit rock bottom because it’s going to hurt so much? 

@intermundia why are you torturing us like this?

[on-a-lucky-tide]

I got tagged by @in-love-with-writing002. Thank you, lovely.

I debated doing this because of overwhelming imposter syndrome in the face of some very good writers doing it (and a comment on a work this morning that left me feeling crappy), but you know what? Yeah, I’m quite proud. I’ve written a million words since January. Here are my favourite couple of k.

Rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (ish) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

1. Piece Me Back Together, Dear Heart (102k)

This is possibly the most well-known work of mine (I say that, there are thousands of people in this fandom, so it’s a niche). It’s a post canon “fix-it” - but not really - where Jaskier travels with Eskel after breaking up with Geralt. Geralt dies early and comes back thirteen chapters later (via game canon). I really wanted to build a realistic, loving polyamorous relationship that felt... well, real. I really enjoyed writing the series and I still have two more parts planned out to finish it off - one set in Hearts of Stone, the other in Blood and Wine. It’ll follow the trend of filling in gaps around the main three characters, and weaving/warping game events. I’ve learned a lot more about lore - and the Witcher in general - since writing Dear Heart, but still I’m pretty proud of it.

2. If These Scars Could Speak (100k)

Modern AU study of the abandonment of heroes once they’ve stopped being “useful”. I drew on a lot of the themes for the Witcher and tweaked the characterisations for amusement - i.e. Lambert is the best cook out of all of them, haha - but worked hard to stay true to who the characters were at their core. It started in response to media using the “hero” rhetoric for people being forced onto the frontline of the COVID-19 crisis. Not because they’re not, but because people used it almost as an excuse to not give them proper protection, or look after them in any way. “That shop worker hasn’t been given a mask... that nurse is working sixteen hours without PPE...” Oh, but they’re heroes. To be a hero, you’re meant to sacrifice and then when you’re sick, or unable to do ‘heroic’ things anymore, you get abandoned. That sucks. So yeah, that work took me a while to get my head around.

3. Petrichor (93k)

It’s A/B/O time. It’s light touch as all hell (it was my first look at the trope, and there were lots of bits that I was not okay with). It was the first big thing I wrote. It’s fluffy and full of love. Jaskier, Eskel and Geralt get married. They retire to Corvo. They sing, they dance, there’s a lil’ bit of angst. It was just fun to write, okay?

4. Cabinet of Curioisities (151k)

My collaboration with @round--robin! It started off as “hey, what if we look at some of the unpleasant parts of Jaskier and whack it up to twelve?” It then grew a plot, became 150k words, spawned the Vipurr (Letho/Gaetan) ship and made her love Letho (mwahaha). It was really good fun, and I learned a lot about someone else’s writing process, and a bit about what I could do better to improve.

5. Sonnet X (20k)

The first one. I’d never been part of a fandom before, or written anything for public consumption. My friend read it through for me. I was so nervous posting it, but I’m glad I did. It was pure Geraskier too! It was a very blatant study of grief/depression and what it does not just to the person suffering, but also the collateral damage to those around them. Geralt is literally almost consumed by the poison from the monster, which is spawned from the grief of a mother who has suffered the most harrowing loss. I was still dealing with a loss in my own family and it was damn cathartic - low and behold, a coping mechanism is born.

I tag: @cylin-aka-ankamo; @round--robin; @goldandlights; @tumbleweedtech; @stardustlupin.

The Codependency Competition Ch.4

Ok, for starters, don't worry! I won't make Annabeth mean, I'll just make is clear that Percy is utterly and completely whipped. Or maybe I won't. Who knows? You just have to read to find out. And I'm sorry if this chapter seems more like a script. I had a small case of writers block.

Now, I think that's it, so comment, like, and follow! Happy reading!

ΩΩΩ

Ok, so Percy was half-right. Annabeth DID wait until they were both home to act, but not in the way he had expected.

As soon as he had closed the front door, he was immediately pushed up against it again. Annabeth was kissing him fiercely, and it took a second for him to respond, but Percy ended up kissing her back just as passionately. In the end, Annabeth was the one to pull them apart (but not before they had ended up on the couch).

"What was that?!" Percy asked, eyebrows raised.

"I love you," Annabeth said, breathless.

"Ok, I love you, too, but WHAT WAS THAT?" he asked again.

Annabeth sighed and moved so she was sitting next to him, "Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to not do that at school today?"

Ok, not what I was expecting. But not necessarily bad, Percy thought.

"I do know, but I thought you would be pissed at me for doing what I did at lunch today," he said before he could stop himself from bringing it up.

"Oh, I am. But I needed to do that more," Annabeth replied.

And she was mad, but she had known to expect something in retaliation for doing what she did that morning. Annabeth couldn't really blame him for wanting pay-back, even if it was completely evil. Even so, he was most definitely going to be paying for what he did. She couldn't just LET him do that without getting him back for it! And just like she usually does, Annabeth had a plan.

"Oh, good. I was starting to get wor–" Percy was cut off by the sound of the door slamming open.

"Mr. McShizzle-Bad-Boy-Supreme is in the house!"

"Leo," Percy and Annabeth sighed in unison.

"And us!" Piper exclaimed.

When they actually looked, Percy and Annabeth saw that Leo, Calypso, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Nico, and Thalia were all barging into their apartment. That's one thing you can also expect from demigods: no manners.

"Oh, well, just come on it, guys!" Annabeth exclaimed with a heavy amount of sarcasm.

"It's not like you're interrupting or anything!" Percy said the same way.

"Thanks!" Thalia said.

Percy and Annabeth exchanged a look, "What do you want?"

"We just wanted to check in on you guys. See how you're doing without each other," Piper answered.

"Yeah, right. You wanted to see if we've cracked yet," Percy said.

"Well..." Jason said.

Thalia didn't have any such hesitation with admitting their true intentions, though, "I would never pass up a chance to see my little cuz suffer!"

"Well, you will be sorely disappointed because we are still keeping the secret with ease!" Annabeth cut quickly.

"Is that right?" Frank asked.

"Yes," Percy replied simply.

"Ok! Now where's the food? Papa's hungry!" Leo exclaimed, marching off to the kitchen.

The topic of their challenge was never brought up again for the rest of the night. The demigods and titaness just enjoyed spending time together. However, they couldn't stay together for long, because of the monsters. Having that many monster-attractors in one place was just asking for an attack of momentous proportions. So, the group enjoyed some dinner, and then they left.

Sally and Paul had decided to go out on a date that night, so they had only come home for a little while to get ready, and then they had left, trusting Annabeth and Percy enough to leave them home alone.

"Oh! I forgot to mention that Mike, Jack, and Chloe are gonna be coming over tomorrow to hang out. If you don't want them finding out, then you should probably stay out of the apartment after school," Percy said as they were getting ready for bed that night.

"Ok. Goodnight," Annabeth answered simply, crawling into bed.

"That's it? Nothing else?" he exclaimed incredulously.

"Yep! Love you," she said.

"Love you, too," Percy said, accepting he wasn't going to get anything else out of his girlfriend, and climbing into bed as well.

ΩΩΩ

The next day at school, Percy was on edge the entire time. He was expecting Annabeth to retaliate sooner. But when she didn't, that just made him get even more suspicious. It is never good to let your  guard down when you're in a competition with Annabeth Chase. He learned that the hard way.

So, he was still on edge when he was walking home with his friends.

"Is it weird that we haven't been to your house yet?" Chloe asked.

"Not really. Nobody from school but Paul has been to my apartment," Percy answered, shrugging.

Jack shook his head, "It still feels so weird to hear you call Mr. Blofis Paul."

"He is his step-father," Chloe pointed out as they were going up the elevator.

"Whatever, all I care about is seeing what's inside of the famous Percy Jackson's apartment," Mike said.

Percy just rolled his eyes. He wasn't that popular. It was bad enough having people treat him like he was the next Hercules at camp, and now he has to deal with it at school, too. It almost makes him wish he was back to being picked-on by Nancy Bobofit in the sixth grade! Almost.

"Welcome to my humble home!" Percy said dramatically, opening the door and widening his arms.

"Wow, it's very...homey," Mike said.

"I guess..." Percy dragged out his words.

His friends started to inspect everything in the living room, which doubled as the entrance room. They looked at all of the pictures of younger Percy, as a baby and as a demigod. Percy started to panic when he saw Jack looking at a picture of him, Grover, and Annabeth just after their first quest. They were all covered in dirt and scrapes, but they were also all grinning like idiots. That tended to happen when you had just prevented a major war between the gods.

Just as he was about to try and explain why there was a picture of him with Annabeth Chase, Jack moved on to another picture, not evening mentioning anything. Apparently his friends weren't that observant. It probably also helped that they hadn't really been close enough to Annabeth to realize that she was the same person in the picture.

"What do you guys wanna do?" Percy asked, sitting down on the couch.

"Movie and snacks?" Mike suggested.

"Sounds good to me!" Percy exclaimed, hopping up to grab food from the kitchen.

"Anything involving food sounds good to you, Seaweed Brain!"

That single sentence caused everyone to freeze. Standing under the entrance to the hall, was Annabeth Chase. In one of Percy's shirts no less! Don't be getting the wrong idea though, she had shorts on under there.

"Um–uh," Percy stammered.

"Very intelligent, Perseus," Annabeth laughed.

"Um, Percy? Why is there a girl in your house, wearing your shirt?" Jack asked, being the first one out of Percy's friends to regain the use of his voice.

But he never got an answer because suddenly, Mike broke out of his shock and yelled, "That's freaking Annabeth Chase!"

ΩΩΩ

Yes, I'm leaving you on a cliffhanger! Mwahaha!!! And maybe I won't write for another chapter for an entire week. Or maybe I'll update tomorrow. Only I know! I wanted to–and I could've–make this chapter longer, but I just thought that this was the perfect opportunity to keep you on the edge of your seats in anticipation. Or something like that...

My amazing beta has helped me where I fall short, so they deserve a BIG shoutout. Thanks, JJ! Ao3: nightskywithrainbows.

Anyway, comment, like, and follow! I hope you enjoyed this, and happy reading!

You were roused from your sleep by the bed dipping. Your eyes slowly opened and were met with the sight of your husband holding your four month old daughter with his back to you. Jim seemed unaware of your consciousness as he started talking to the fussing bundle in his arms. 

“Little one, you’ll wake your momma. Let’s let her sleep.”

The baby continued to be upset, so Jim started rocking her gently back and forth. He started singing lowly, getting into a rhythm with his movements.

“Bones sinking like stones

All that we’ve fought for

Homes, places we’ve grown

All of us are done for

We live in a beautiful world

Yeah we do

Yeah we do

We live in a beautiful world”

You recognized the song, so you started humming along to the melody. Jim turned around, your daughter no longer crying in his arms. Sitting yourself up against the headboard, you turned to your infant. “Good morning, my darling Ella. Are you hungry?” you cooed softly.

Jim placed her in your arms and kissed you lovingly on the cheek. “Good morning, Love. I didn’t wake you did I?”

“No you didn’t, I just woke up naturally,” you replied while you started nursing.

You sat there for a few minutes while your daughter ate, a comfortable silence settling over you small family. Jim sat with his arm around your shoulder, rubbing circles on your arm. 

After feeding Ella, you get dressed and start to make breakfast. While you’re turning pancakes on the stove, Jim comes up behind you to wrap his arms around your waist, your back against his chest. James starts swaying you both back and forth, humming along to the song he was singing your daughter earlier. You sigh happily, letting yourself relax with your husband.

The moment is bittersweet though, because you know that Jim leaves for another mission in the morning. This time he will be gone for at least three months, and you will miss him terribly. And so will Ella. It’s torture for Jim, having to leave his wife and daughter so soon after becoming a family, but it’s all part of the job s a starship captain. You’re content in the moment, though, your husband swaying you softly and your daughter cooing happily in her seat behind you.

That night, you and Jim have put Ella to sleep and are sitting in your room together. Jim’s just finished packing, and you both are talking about the mission.

“We’re just going on a diplomatic mission to a planet that Starfleet wants to become allied with. You shouldn’t worry about me, unless I die of boredom in political meetings,” Jim assures you.

“You promise? Because it’ll be hard enough being without you for three months, I don’t know what I’d do if...” you cut yourself off as you wiped your tears away.

Jim hugged you tight to his chest, shushing you as he tried to keep his own tears from falling. He would miss you so much.

I am in love with you, YN, and I will come back to you. I promise.”

You felt comforted by Jim’s words, and willed yourself to relax into Jim’s side as he sang to you the tune from earlier in the day.

“We live in a beautiful world

Yeah we do

Yeah we do

We live in a beautiful world

Oh all that I know

There’s nothing here to run from

Cause here

Everybody here’s got somebody to lean on”

You fell asleep curled against your husband, dreaming of your family and friends returning safely on the Enterprise.

Jim watched as you slept. You had made him promise to wake you before he left, but he just couldn’t bring himself to disturb your peace in the early hours of dawn. Jim pressed a kiss to your forehead before picking up his packed bag and exiting your room. He knew you would be angry when you woke up and he wasn’t there, but goodbyes always seem too final. He would most definitely see you again.

Jim made his way to the nursery, rubbing his hand along Ella’s back and humming quietly to her. “I love you. I’m gonna miss you, my bug.” He kissed her cheek and slipped into the hallway and out the front door, but not before leaving an envelope for you on the rocking chair beside your daughter’s crib.

You awoke later in the morning, automatically reaching for the other side of the bed where Jim should be. You mutter his name sleepily, hoping he would answer from somewhere in your shared bedroom, but there is no reply. You groggily open your eyes, doing  quick search of the space and coming up empty. Unwilling to believe that Jim would leave without saying goodbye, you rose from the bed and walked around your apartment but found no-one.

Giving up on the search for your husband, you decided to check on your daughter. Ella was still sleeping peacefully in her crib and you relaxed a little. As you made to exit the nursery, something caught your eye. Sitting in a rocking chair was an envelope with your name written on it in Jim’s handwriting. You picked it up and sat down in the chair, deciding to read it right then and there. 

Dear YN, 

I am so sorry for letting you sleep but I just couldn’t bother you. I know you’re angry with me for not saying goodbye in person, but you can yell at me when I get back, or over video message. I hope this letter will do for now, though. I will miss you, and I am already looking forward to coming home to you and Ella. I apologize for having to leave, but duty calls. I’m not very eloquent, which you know. I just wanted to tell you how much I love you. I will miss you so much, and I already do. You and Ella take care of yourselves, I’ll be home before you know it.

Love, Jim.

You smiled through the tears that began to fall, and relaxed back into your seat. You would miss him so much, but he would be back and he made a promise. James Tiberius Kirk had never broken a promise to you, and you knew he would move mountains to get back to you and your daughter. After you make a mental reminder to call your husband and chide him later, you saw Ella stirring out of the corner of your eye.

As you pick her up in your arms and start to feed her breakfast, you hum that same song that Jim was singing yesterday. You know that the next three months will not be easy but at the end of it, you’ll have Jim back. And that is all that matters.

Thank you guys for reading!
