(I fucking hate cake)

Doodled what's now my blog banner in the corner of a larger project and then ended up cooking this up in a separate document at an ungodly hour. There's probably something I can bullshit about the meaning of this but I can't be assed just pure 2am vibes.

The Emperor's New Muse Part .5

Odyssey Kayn x Reader

content: coming up with a 'how to save the universe' plan, some "bonding" time with the members, and finally a more definite backstory to our character.

A/N: Apologies for the delayed post this should've come out earlier but I've been struggling with a bit of writer's block because I am making this whole story up as I go gliding by the seat of my ass or however that saying goes. Anyway, I hope it's worth the wait! Knowing that at least a few of you are invested really helped me keep going so thank you all!!

And that's how you came to become the newest recruit member of the Morningstar, and also how you found out about the universe's impending doom.

You gave Sona a judgemental side eye, like... really? You plan on saving the universe with these people!? The Templar, however, ignored your stare and continued to look out the window with her back turned to you. Looking as mysterious as ever.

Currently, the Morningstar was blindly traveling through deep space. Destination: unknown, as long as it was as far away from Kayn and his locus armada. So far there was no sign of them on your tail, you could relax for now.

"So what's the plan? on saving the universe?" you ask looking towards the front of the ship where Jinx was goofing off in the pilot's seat doing anything but actually steering the ship, Yasuo was close by at the control center holo screen.

"We're currently in the drafting stage of our master universe-saving plan" Jinx says while tinkering away at something you assumed was highly hazardous.

"Seriously? you guys don't have a plan yet? What have you been doing this whole time?" It was hard to believe that no progress had been made within the last three months. Aka the time Kayn got his hands on Rhaast, the universe's greatest threat without fully understanding it.

"It's been hard to think straight, that insane ordinal is constantly chasing us down. Every planet we stop at to stock on supplies or rest from travel is crawling with the empire's military and Kayn is never far behind." Yasuo says with a frown on his face.

It was true, you had just witnessed just how quickly the Demaxian Empire was at tracking down wanted criminals. Only, the morning star crew weren't nearly as high priority as they were targeted to be. They were just a bunch of rag-tag space pirates.

It was clear that Kayn was obsessed with getting Sona back for his personal gains. Once fiercely loyal to his emperor Kayn has become obsessed with his personal hunt, he will not hesitate to kill any who cross his path. The ordinal was slowly corrupting into something dark and consuming.

That scythe was the catalyst for all of this. According to Sona, no one knew what Rhaast truly was, but it was undeniable that he or it wasn't the "sentience of ora".

Rhaast clearly wanted to open the ora gates, but for what purpose? Immediately you figured opening the ora gate was the last thing the universe wanted. Sona confirmed from her upbringing within the templar order she had heard of a time long ago when an ancient civilization, extinct for eons, once opened an ora gate. "Annnnd they're all dead now, so it must've gone well for them."

Sona doesn't know what's actually behind the gates but she has seen visions. Visions of which none of the Morningstar or you were aware of. She saw silence. She saw the vast well of time. She saw a moment stretched into an eternity. She saw lingering stillness and glacial quiet. She saw dark stars and black suns frozen in a void of endless shadow. She saw monstrous, silent deities lurking in a corrupted cosmos.

Yet she never spoke of them, Sona was a quiet and mysterious templar after all. The only reason you believed in this religious fanatic was because you could see it in her eyes, the horror. Behind a calm and neutral expression was a gaze that carried worry and fear. Whenever you would steal a glance with the templar it was like looking into a void, one that stared back into your deepest reaches. Sona knew many things, and yet she remained quiet about them, almost as if she was uncertain about whether or not she wanted to save the universe.

You had decided for yourself that you would take charge of planning the next course of action, borrowing a tablet from Yasuo you had snuck off by yourself to figure out what exactly one was supposed to do next.

Sitting down in the saloon of the ship, you began to develop a plan. From what you now know Kayn had to be stopped, the ordinal is so obsessed with his quest for power that he's becoming unstable.

He was being puppeted by that alien scythe whose intentions were far more dire than Kayn could realize. Rhaast wanted the ora gates to be open and it was clear that whatever lay beyond that gate was something never meant to be unlocked.

You needed to stop Kayn from opening the gate, the only reason he hasn't just gone straight to the gate immediately is because he needed Sona to unlock it. Only Sona knew how to do this which means she was a highly valuable asset, good thing she was on your side for now.

Was it possible to destroy the ora gate? If you could manage that then there would be no threat of anyone opening it ever. But it was unclear as to how these ora gates worked, no one truly understood them at all that the risk of something just as disastrous happening. How would one even go about destroying something so incomprehensible?

Ok so destroying the ora gate isn't a likely option, you delete that plan from the tablet.

Looking for the whereabouts of the ora gate would be a start, that way you'd know where to go and where Kayn would be headed at some point.

According to Yasuo, Sona had told him that there were in fact, multiple ora gates in the universe. All are located throughout the furthest reaches of the universe, far beyond the darkest corners. Knowing which one Kayn would go to would be impossible to predict.

Rubbing your temples, you grunt and delete that plan route.

Let's take a step back from the end game. The ordinal Kayn, instead of trying to intercept him at the gates or destroying one perhaps we needed to go straight to the source of the problem.

It wouldn't be hard to find Kayn. He would always come to you. If you had learned anything, it was that this insane and obsessed man was smart, and calculating and when you had something he wanted, it wouldn't be long before he pounced.

You type down "KAYN" in capitols. He was now the focus of your plan. There were a few options of how you could go about this. You could be a mediator and persuade Kayn to give up his pursuit for power, Or perhaps separate him from that damn scythe. Destroying Rhaast was also a good idea, oh wait an even better idea! We kill Kayn!

Just as you were typing out that last thought you feel the weight of someone leaning onto your shoulders, their shadow looming over your head as they nondiscreetly look at your plans.

"Whatcha doing?" Jinx asks with her eyes glued to your plan's title. She snatches your tablet from your hands and brings it close to her face as she intensely stares at it.

Sighing you grab the tablet back trying to focus on forming more ideas- "He's so cool~". You snap your head, pull a face, and look at Jinx as if she lost her min- yeh she probably has already.

"Jinx, please. Anyone but him. Kayn is evil and you're...chaotic neutral." You groan realizing there's no point in reasoning with the loose cannon.

With pacifist, petty, and genocide plans crafted, you went to showcase each of them to the Morningstar crew.

Sona true to her character wanted to take the peaceful route, but even she knew negotiating with such a cruel and ruthless person held little chance in successfully de-escalating the Ordinal.

Yasuo liked the idea of taking Rhaast from Kayn, the thought of taking away his power source was enticing to the captain of the crew. Although you weren't sure if you could trust Yasuo with the sentient scythe. Not that you were assuming the captain was immoral or corrupt but, nobody should've ever come into contact with whatever Rhaast is.

Jinx and Malphite unsurprisingly wanted to go the chaos route, already suggesting which weapons would best tear down the Locus Armada and the Fractal Sheer.

"I carry enough weapons to seize a medium battle fortress!" Jinx proudly exclaims standing before you. You simply nod and half smile "uhuh that's great jinx" your voice passive agressively giving off an annoyed tone.

She grins and dumps her current arsenal onto your lap, you jump in your seat. Did she seriously just throw live weapons at you?! "These are my best friends!" She says picking up the rocket launcher from your lap. "This is fishbones! I modeled him after Sharkpedos, He's always worried about me." You blink stunned.....he?

As she's showing him off she uses one hand to move the jaw of the rocket launcher up and down like a puppet. "I'm worried Jinx maybe we should try a less dangerous option, I like (Y/N)'s other plan to take the scythe instead." Jinx rolls her eyes at the rocket launcher she's ventriloquizing before throwing him to the side, followed by the sound of it crashing onto the ground.

"Yeh he can be a bit of a buzzkill, anyways this is Pow-pow!" Jinx says now picking up the mini-gun making your lap feel a ton lighter. She spins it around and you duck as the barrel comes towards you before shooting a desperate look to the others- oh, Sona and Malphite are gone and Yasuo is reading some book clearly unbothered. Great you're stuck with Jinx then.

"I love your plan to destroy the locus armada! let's shoot them up and watch their bodies fall together!" Jinx says playing on a raspier and higher-pitched voice for the minigun. Jinx then pulls out a lightning projector "This is Zappy she's my stun gun, she's more unstable than I am! Watch this!" Jinx then suddenly tosses the gun onto an empty couch like how one would casually throw their phone on a bed, only, when the gun softly bounces onto the lounge chair it explodes. And Jinx had thrown that on your lap just earlier...

Yasuo gives Jinx a glare flicking his eyes up from the novel he was currently reading, his nose still buried between the pages.

Not giving a single shit about Yasuo Jinx continues to introduce you to her "friends" such as the Flame Chompers, which are curiously sculpted in the likeness of Malphite's head; and the Super Mega Death Comet, an interstellar portal lifted from one of Jinx's old mining jobs.

"You should see the ship! I heavily modified the Morningstar with so many offensive weapons!" Jinx says happily grabbing you by the arm and dragging you on yet another tour of the Morningstar. And after an hour of being overstimulated with interacting with Jinx..... you were still unsure as to what half of Jinx's modifications do.

Finally, Jinx had gone off to wherever leaving you to mentally recover by yourself. So far regarding your "Plan" no one could agree on which one to go with, personally, you were leaning to the separate Kayn from Rhaast. You could kill Kayn if it comes to it. But between the two it was Rhaast that was the true danger.

That would not be an easy feat, Kayn alone was an intelligent and strong fighter. His eyepatch and left arm are clearly ora augmentations making him a superhuman. He now wields a sentient alien scythe and he has a whole personal army at his disposal.

There was no way the five of you could possibly win against him in a fight, it would take some grand scheme to outsmart the Ordinal and gain the upper hand.

Something crawls along your shoulder, and immediately your mind races to some giant ugly alien spider, you see how messy the interior of this ship is, clearly no one is cleaning the ship so of course it would be crawling with pests. You go back and forth on whether to scream for help or smack the bugger into smoosh.

To your relief, a familiar face peeps up at you. Warm round eyes that contrasted with its cool blue and green complexion and a goofy wide smile beamed up at you. "Hey little guy" you coo at the lizard. "How did you get here?"

The lizard chirps and clicks seemingly happy as you scratch its head like how one would pet a cat. "Let's return you to Yauso"

After walking through the layout of the ship you finally found Yasuo, sitting by a large window on a red carpet with incense and candles laid around him, his nose buried in a novel.

His eyes flick up from his book to look at you. "Ah I see Space Lizard has found you".

"Space Lizard? don't tell me that's what you actually call them."

Yasuo shrugs his shoulders. "We really couldn't decide a name for it, we'll probably never will. We plan to sell it for a profit"

"You're selling them!?"

Yasuo shrugs again. "That is why we stole it from a maximum-security nature reserve." Your jaw drops.

"You actually managed to pull that off?" Yasuo nods with a smug smirk on his lips. It was impressive but a part of you just felt for the innocent animal, he seemed happy and healthy here it felt wrong to give him away for money. Your thoughts get interrupted by bubbles floating towards your face and popping upon contact with your nose.

Surprised you turn your gaze and see that Space Lizard is blowing bubbles. You're unsure as to whether to be amazed or grossed out but by Yasuo's smile, you can tell that at least he secretly likes it.

"So you guys are really space pirates huh?" you ask as Space Lizard climbs down your arm and onto your outstretched hand.

Yasuo nods with a proud smile. "Yep, real space pirates". He turns a page in his novel. "It's a lot different from my old life, I would've still been living a life of luxury if it weren't for the framing of my brother's death."

Right, you remember Yasuo briefly mentioning that earlier. "I'm sorry for your loss" Yasuo merely shakes his head dismissively. Lowering his book.

"Don't worry about it, I'll get justice for my brother" he said quietly, his gaze turning downward. You couldn't help but feel drawn to his pain and frustration. Despite the cocky and careless personality he usually exhibits, he was clearly hurting.

Yasuo pauses and shifts in his seat "I should've been there, if I would've been there then-"

You nod your head not letting him finish but acknowledging the obvious truth, he'd been beating himself up for this incident for a long time, and from the way he spoke you could tell it was a huge weight on his shoulders.

"The empire screwed me over, they blamed me for something I didn't do. My brother had grown distant with me in recent years, He was off being a hero while I was spending my nights in a drunken daze, aimlessly wandering between high-end nightclubs. To him I was a disgrace, someone to be ashamed of, I wish I could prove him wrong. But now I'll never get the chance."

Space Lizzard had jumped down from your cradling hand and moved over to where Yasuo was sitting to perch himself on his shoulder, nuzzling its head against Yasuo's face as if to comfort him. A small smile returns to Yasuo's face.

"I know I'm not the only one who's on the run from the empire, You mentioned how you managed to escape punishment for sabotaging a locus armada ship back. But that's all we know about you, what made you turn against the empire?"

A sour snort escapes you, a bitter taste returning to your mouth. "I've hated the empire since the beginning" Yasuo looks at you confused.

"Why is that? What happened?"

You swallow down the rising pressure as the memories of your past rush back. "I used to live on one of the few planets that weren't claimed by the Demaxian empire. Of course that wouldn't last long. They always have to keep expanding, taking planet systems by force."

You recall your old home planet "My homeland was beautiful, it was bountiful with nature and wildlife and we lived in harmony with the land, we were a lot more primitive with technology. We didn't have much need for it. I was just a little girl when they arrived...."

"The Demaxian Empire was brutal, they came in guns blazing, declaring our planet and its land as their own. They had no regard for the lives and cultures they were erasing. Our planet was the gateway to the Outer Rim, a new frontier that the Empire craved. To them, our way of life was primitive and unacceptable.

I still remember them bringing their warships into my planet's orbit, demanding we bend the knee to them. When we refused. They bombed our planet, destroying much of our infrastructure and reducing our population to just a fraction of the original number.”

The look in your eyes was one of a faraway expression, there was a slight tremble in your hands and your whole complexion had paled.

"When the smoke cleared there was nothing left. The land was leveled out, the villages were torn to the ground and all of the plant life, and the animals were gone. They came in and wiped out our entire people in the name of expansion and development. But left after draining everything of Ora. Apparently our planet wasn't good enough to colonize. All that slaughter and ruination for nothing!" you say clenching your teeth. 

"The nightmare didn't end there however. With our home now uninhabitable we had to leave, some submitted themselves to the empire and lived lives of servitude and slavery. Others like myself fled to distant planets like Piltron and Zaun. Desperate to find stability in living." By now you had seated yourself next to Yasuo who surprisingly was listening to your rambling, his novel was closed and by his side, and Space Lizard while perched on his shoulders looked at you intentively.

"I had nothing to my name, no ID, no money, no family. I was used to living off the grid with no influence by technology and government systems. Without any ID it was an unimaginable pain in the ass to intergrade into society. No vital records office could obtain any identity due to my home planet never being a part of the Demaxian system. I couldn't get a stable job or any proper schooling, I was left to figure shit on my own because Demaxia doesn't have time for my kind.

I had to struggle with low-end jobs that paid under the table, there was no dignity in my line of work not when the turnover rate of a nuclear powerplant worker was so high, and more people were dying of negligence faster than new hires were acquired. I was fortunate, if you could call it that to be a mere janitor in Zaun's power plant system. But that didn't come without prejudice from the locals.

I didn't understand why, I still don't, we were all in the same boat and yet I was treated differently. Over time I learnt the ways of the streets and how to survive them. I kept my head down, I minded my own business. Despite being surrounded by thugs and gangs I managed to stay out of it by blending in. Of course, there were a few times I messed up" You say, pulling up your shirt, showing a couple of scars along your torso. Scar tissue in round formations pulled taught towards the center, the classic sign of a healed bullet wound. There were others too, a couple of singular lines dragging across your torso also, the result of getting shivved.

"I was never going to escape the pits of the lower class, no matter how many hours I worked, how many side jobs I had, despite living as frugally as one could survive on. I could never escape being a blue-collar in the slums. The empire's system is so rigged that if you want to live comfortably you have to be born into it. It's so unfair! So many people suffer in poverty and filth because the stupid king is more focused on colonizing more and more planets with stupid rich assholes who don't even spare a thought for the people who keep their obnoxiously pampered lifestyle afloat!!!" Yasuo jumps back a little at your heated outburst towards the end, his usual calm and suave demeanor now tense with a startled wide eyed stare.

It was clear he felt awkward about being called out for his old lifestyle. You sigh and shake your head.

"I'm sorry I don't mean to take it all out on you specifically, I've never really talked about any of this and I suppose all those years were bottled up for too long." Yasuo's gaze softens, his hand goes towards his belt and he passes you a flask, you raise a brow questioningly but take his offering and take a swig instantly feeling the distilled alcohol kick you in the throat with a powerful punch. You cough and sputter looking at him shocked.

"What the hell is this?"

"Pure distilled Polmos Spirytus Rektyfikowany Vodka"

"...." You stare at Yasuo silently before dowing another swig, then another. Letting out a gasp and wiping your lips with the back of your hand as the satisfying burn of the alcohol soaked itself into your system.

"Better?"

"Better."

You noticed the velocity of the ship shifting and turning into the landing procedures, curiously you looked to Yasuo.

"Whats happening?"

Yasuo shrugs "Looks like Jinx is taking us to a pit stop."

Part six: Here

A/N: So I've had this idea as headcannon for ages but never had the chance to implement it into the story so free lore content below!:

Piltron and Zaun is a rather unique planet in my Odyssey story. Piltron similar to its Runeterra counterpart (Piltover) is the higher class planet to Zaun. Piltron is a hollow planet that exists as an outer shell that hovers around its inner planet Zaun. To access Zaun you need to travel between the tectonic plates of Piltron via colossal industrial elevators. Piltover isn't a perfect shell that entirely encases the inner planet Zaun but is cracked into multiple districts that are tethered to its center Zaun via cybernetic tendrils to avoid floating out of Zaun's atmosphere. If you've seen Transformers: The Last Knight you'll know that I've taken inspiration from the scene of Cybertron being spacebridged into Earth's orbit (see image below).

Zaun Center, like the earth's core, is made of a uranium deposit that is harvested through fission (nuclear power plants) that power both Zaun and Piltron through the cybernetic tendrils that also hold the two planets together. Zaun is made up of the working class while Piltron homes the more upperclass citizens. Piltron and Zaun are allied with the Demaxian Empire and stand as the main manufacturing planet of the weapons and technology of the empire.

Despite being a part of Demaxia, Piltron, and Zaun have the least amount of empire enforcers due to the trust between them and the core worlds. Plus because of the unstable levels of radioactive activity in Zaun, most enforcers don't hover around for long. Sure in this age we have radioactive protection suits but Zaun is seen as dirty to rich snobs.

Honestly your Kirby ocs are wonderful and really inspire me to wanna make some too, you got any tips for that? Would appreciate any tips or just how you came to have some of the ideas for them

Thank you!!! That really means a lot to me! My OCs mean the world to me, and its wonderful to hear they inspire you!

I'll try to write some general tips and how I kinda came up with some of my ideas... hope any of this helps!

I mostly focus on the spiders since I'm just super in love with them. And they vary a lot I'd say!

I usually like to start with a few questions before starting work, but not always! Sometimes its fun to just design a character for the heck of it, or if you get a really cool idea! And you can worry about story and lore later.

My questions usually involve

. 'where will this character live?' usually dependent on where I want to plop them into the kirby world. Dreamland? Floralia? Some distant planet I just made up? Anything!

. 'what role/ purpose do they serve for me or the story creatively?' Are they gonna be a main character and have a story? Are they gonna be a self insert for fun? Are they a supporting character or a love interest perhaps? Or better yet, a villain?! The possibilities are endless!!! I sometimes like to make side characters as well, like NPCs. . 'what will their personality be like?' Fairly obvious question, but it will really shape the character into exactly what you want, and who they will be! . 'who are they friends/ enemies with, if any?' I like to usually pair my characters up with someone at least, unless isolation is a key part of their story/ identity. A good example I have is making Toxecia and Sylvette. I specifically made Toxecia to be a tyrannical Queen, and Sylvette to be a close friend to Tox, trying her best to help her become a better person.

Or you have Puffe and Pierce for example. They both work for Haltmann Works INC, but are rivals and hate each others guts.

There may be more questions I'm forgetting but those are my main thoughts first and foremost.

One thing that usually leads to for me at least is a story to tell. I like to create a story my characters can follow and develop through- even if I know I'll never actually be able to tell the story. But a story can come before or after you make an OC.

Now lets talk a lil about how I came up with a few of my characters!

Halaro for example! He's a... sort of self-insert, but also not. His design is both based off of my other sonas/ main characters, and also Taranza. Saying Taranza may seem obvious, but my ideal goal was to have Halaro work in the castle, to be a part of it and be around Taranza. This helps me control how much detail I can actually put into Halaro. I don't want Halaro looking superior to Taranza as he is meant to be lower rank than Taranza. So his design ends up being rather simple with a few minor quirks to make him at least stand out.

Tbh he's does get confused for Taranza often still, but I'm slowly working on separating them more and more as time goes on... but still keep em somewhat similar.

So... he lives in Floralia, Dreamland. He's a sort of self insert, he's the main character overall in my little story (which may never be told lmao) but its nice to have a story somewhere in the background and bring up bits of it every so often.

Toxecia is a fun one. She's heavily based off of a anime character from 'Black ⭐ Rock Shooter' named 'Black Gold Saw'.

I took the longer horns, the hair design (somewhat) and some outfit pieces. Like the sleeve I turned into one of her robes. I also made a similar weapon.

Where my differences come in are the colors. I really wanted to use a toxic green and purple combo cos I've never tried that before. Other elements are mostly original- like her scepter. Its simple, more or a trident if anything, with a classic kirby™ eyeball aesthetic.

Its perfectly okay to borrow things from other IP or OCs as long as you change it up enough!!! Be inspired by what you like!!!

One thing I like to do too is look at other peoples OCs and examine how they design things, what makes them unique, what colors can work or not.

You can also go the route of making a mood board of things you might want the character to be like.

I'd write more but I don't wanna go overboard lmao. Hope this at least is a starting point! Feel free to send any more questions!

Oh hey! I finally got around to making a Pin Post!

So, I'm just gonna say the most important stuff first: while not used for it explicitly for it, THIS IS A NSFW AND KINK BLOG. IF I FIND OUT YOU ARE UNDER 18 YOU WILL BE BLOCKED, LIKELY FOREVER Also, it goes without saying, but THIS IS A PRO-KINK AND PRO-FETISH BLOG, AND I WILL BE POSTING BOTH. IF YOU ARE AGAINST THESE... well, why are you here? Curiosity? Furthermore, THIS IS A SAFE PLACE FOR EVERYONE IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY, AND BIGOTS AND TERFS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED HERE

SFW bio: Yoooooooooo. ^w^ My name's Tomzo, a 22 y/o cis gay guy who goes by he/him pronouns! I fell down the alt-right pipeline as a kid and came out an evil, filthy leftist. Now, I'm just another nobody on the internet who likes to write and be silly. I'm also a massive furry, and expressive myself more in my fursonas and pokesonas than I do myself. I'm also something of a punk, and want to get more into the punk scene in my town. C'mon into my (also very huffy) blog! Or don't. I don't control you.

NSFW bio: Heehee :3c Hiya everyone!!! I'm a very kinky fur who loves a whole lotta kinky things! Maybe not as much as some, but this is not a place that kinkshames! My main 'sona, Hazel the (often diapered) femboy Decidueye, is how I express myself most in terms of kinks and fetishes. That, and he's just a cute lil goober that I like to see myself as. Though there's a good chance that I'll show off and write about my other 'sonas in various huffy and non-huffy scenarios. Speaking of, I'll likely share the stories I write, both SFW and NSFW, on this blog. And, depending on how much time I have to dedicate to it, I might share some short stories too! (Oh I also like roleplay, but only really do it with those I consider friends)

For those who don't want to see any specific kind of kink, not to worry! I'll be sure to hide it and do my best to add content warnings in the tags These include, but are not limited to...

#cw abdl: one of my main kinks. More DL than AB, but I do dabble in a lil babying :3. Expect this one a lot. #cw hypnosis: also one of my main kinks. I may postt spirals gifs and stuff, so this may be paired with an epilepsy warning #cw transformation: might use sparingly, since this one's more a comfort thing than a sex thing #cw monsterfucker: self-explanatory #cw bdsm: another of my favorites and will definitely be paired with others #cw watersports: squishy... mmm... #cw rubber: want more experience in this so... lets see where this heads #cw cnc: for those who like a lil fight >:3 #cw perma: For thos who like a long term things

Anyways this is getting too long... you can go away now...

[transsexualunderground]

lemme talk about some TTTE OCS!

So this was a long time coming. I tried to post an OC once before but I chickened out and deleted his post. So, here's some lore rundowns for a bunch of my OCs! And by that I mean all of 'em! And my sona, as a bonus! (and details on my personal canon!!!)

(This took me like 3 attempts to write because Tumblr kept eating the part about Wesley when I accidentally hit ctrl+z because I made a typo on Forsythia's basis :sob:)

Putting a break so I don't clog any tags haha

So, for the third time I am trying to write this (dear god), behold, Wesley the Show Engine (and his tender that I admittedly drew in a rush when I drew it)! Wesley is based on Furness No. 20's original batch of 0-4-0 locomotives, generally based on Furness No. 20 in design but less so in backstory. Canonically, he was made after that batch of locos but his build date is undecided still.

He was made for a Collector, Mr. Titus Lancaster. The two attended engine shows for years, and while Wesley enjoyed it, he was rather isolated from other engines and rolling stock for many years. He admired the railway working life from afar and longed to have it.

Eventually his wish would be granted in both his and his Collector's old age when he donated him to the NWR.

Wesley's a rather interesting character to me in his origins. He's an old engine but very inexperienced with the rails.

Personality-wise, he's kindhearted, hardworking, sincere, passionate, and would rather get along with others, but he can be very gullible (early on) due to his lack of experience, and is imbued with the spirit of Sodor's karmic justice itself. (Read: he's really vengeful at times. If you cross him, he wants to ensure you get your just desserts.)

He's humble and quick to admit to his mistakes and apologize when he messes up (an uncommon trait on the railways LOL), and while he's open-minded, he's also willing to admit he's a bit foolish and unworldly. He mainly works on Edward's Branch Line.

He likes snow and snowploughs (he finds them comfortable in the way a weighted blanket or lead x-ray wear is comfortable), karma, being out and about, any work at all, and bugs.

He dislikes being patronized/infantilized/treated as if he's stupid and incapable, geese (there was an incident), most animals, the sound of babies crying, and almost all trucks. He's open to the idea of there being trucks that aren't troublesome but he doesn't know any yet.

I'd like to highlight a central relationship he has in his stories, that of his relationship with Edward. The two were quick friends and once made eye contact at an engine show YEARS before they properly met (though neither recognized the other). Eventually that friendship became a tendency to want to work together more and more often, and the duo became very close indeed... and then they started being gay as all hell. Gay ol' engines. Good for them! (They get married in a plotline of mine. I'm dead serious. Gay train wedding!!!)

EDIT: Something I forgot to note! While he's also vengeful, he's insists on doing nice things for others who have done nice things for him. Everything is a two-way street. One turn deserves another, good or bad.

For reading all that, here's a Checkpoint Human!Wesley I drew.

Moving right along, we have a narrow gauge duo!

I present to you Forsythia the Rambunctious Engine and Nicolas, her coach. Forsythia was based on the 2-4-0T Rheidol/Talybont/Treze de Maio and a fucked up kiddie ride I saw once.

Yeah, it's a really fucked up kiddie ride.

These two are owned by Ms. Tiffany Lancaster, the niece of Wesley's former Collector (who has passed by the time she obtains these two). They are often loaned to the Skarloey to help out there (until a later event we'll touch on with the next OC).

These two got BWBA'd before I even knew what the hell was going on in BWBA. Except it's much more realistic and boring in execution. Just a lot of boring time on cargo ships with shipping mix-ups! They got to Sodor though, don't worry.

They've got the energy of childhood best friends imo. Also, Forsythia and Wesley consider one another cousins, but like, adoptive cousins specifically.

Forsythia is down to clown and is cheeky and mischievous and a prankster but she is an experienced variety. And she knows when to back off. And she will, if you ask her (and you're not on her list of Those She Is Close Enough To Clown Upon Always And Forever or Those I Hate)! I'd say she's... like... young adult or teenager -coded. She's very energetic and a Large Ham if you know about that trope.

Now, look at Nicolas, her coach. Tell me, when you look at him, do you think he's the serious sort? You'd be wrong there. He's also down to clown! And he's here for the shenanigans as well. He's simply the quiet, observant deadpan to Forsythia's rambunctious large ham.

[EDIT: I never noted that sometimes these two's antics involve collaborating with the Troublesome Trucks. Forsythia's always offended when the inevitable betrayal happens.]

Now for that lore thing I mentioned. I have an adaptation of Toby's Discovery in my AU in which TFC does not manage that part of the railway. Instead he does participate in its restoration but it is ran by none other than Tiffany Lancaster! Forsythia is the Ulfstead Heritage Railway's Engine No. 2! (Engine No. 1 is Bertram; Forsythia would've been No. 1 if some contract things with the Skarloey Railway didn't have to be sorted out first.)

[EDIT: Now that Forsythia and Nicolas are consistently on a railway, they do have a cluster of trucks that won't betray them because of how fun things just tend to be with those two.]

And on that railway, eventually there arrived a BR Class 12 Diesel, but refitted to narrow gauge.

I present my final OC, Sycorax. Sycorax's arc is very dear to me because it has origins in both a random thought I had, a quote Awdry said in a video I watched, and my own opinions on locomotives and Sodor.

The video I've linked here made me have a realization about older diesels.

https://youtu.Be/h-xesjpiqgo?T=189

I can see where Awdry was coming from on this - he witnessed dieselization firsthand! But boy, I think diesels (and electrics!) have their charm and I'm really fond of them actually. I know it's very different as a modern reader who barely has any exposure to locomotives in person anyways due to the infrastructure of the United States just… Sucking sometimes, but nevertheless, my point stands.

Sycorax's arc starts with them in a most dire place: about to be scrapped. But fate saves them and they're refitted and brought to Sodor, where they find that, despite being the new thing, they're envious of steam engines, seeing their charm and the fact that they'll always be in fashion somewhere… And they feel generic and replaceable.

But eventually they start to realize that diesels become obsolete too. Now this is particularly regarding a dash of TVS canon but I like to think that the diesels of Sodor are there because Sodor, is too, a safe haven for them as well as steam engines. That's why absolute assholes stay around sometimes, it's because they've nowhere else to go. Sycorax realizes their envy is unwarranted, and that Sodor is a safehaven for all types of engines who need it, it's just that, at the time, steam engines needed it most. And they're not replaceable. And this is home now.

[EDIT: Forgot to add that they're the UHR (ulfstead heritage railway) No. 3!]

Thank you for reading all that. As a finale, let me briefly touch on my sona, The Secondman himself.

The Secondman is literally a self-insert/sona guy who's a human studying on modern day Sodor. He volunteers on the railways of the island often. He intends to immigrate there properly once he's done with his schooling. He's essentially is to me what the Thin Clergyman was to Awdry. In-universe, he writes my fanbooks, my silly little shitposts about various Engine Incidents, and a whole bunch of other things. And he's having a good time.

I haven't drawn him. But nevertheless!

Thank you SO MUCH for reading this loredump. I hope you enjoyed.

!!!

In my mind simp/simping is only sexual or inappropriate if you make it or see it as such or if a person is uncomfortable with jokingly getting told that someone is simping over them,, the you better stop asap or I'll literally run over you in my wheelchair lmao, otherwise it's fine!

Typically for artists or writers or any other users, this isn't actually meant like the person is in love with them, but more them showing love for their craft or the content they produce!

For adopts and designs it's just something people say when they enjoy them or are particularly fond of them.

For ocs or other fictional characters I think it's p straight forward, it's either when they love their oc or maybe their oc is in love/head over heals for another character in their story or a rp etc! E.g my friends character is mates with my Sona (he's her boyfriend/husband in the human au too!) and we constantly joke about the fact that he simps so hard for Hazel like no joke he was flirting with her during a fox battle,, I stan that little country cat so much 😭

So yeah! Simping isn't really sexual at all, it only is if you make it out to be or that's how you view it ^^, plus! It's lost it's meaning due to all those different meanings above so it's HARDLY ever viewed as a sexual thing anymore, like I don't think I've ever in my life heard of a guy, girl or anyone else refer to themselves in a sexual manner as a simp lmao dhjahsja.

So yeah no need to worry anyone :00

I hope that helps some people out with what it means ^^ 💗

Nazeel meets Archie (part 1)

Disclaimer: this story happened during 2 years timeskip. After 2 years, they will already know each other. Hope you will enjoy the story^^

-------------

Another weekend arrived for our crew, which signaled them about taking a rest from busy days. Anoli, Chris, Liya and Axel as usual took this time to spend with each other while leaving Lucifer to take care of Nazeel. Unfortunately, Michael couldn't join him as he got new stuff to deal in Heaven. Well, it didn't cancel anything as Nazeel was finishing doing homeworks for next week. Meanwhile Lucifer just turned on the console, while Sona was sleeping peacefully in his bed.

Lucifer: Nazeel, how is homework doing?

Nazeel: I finished it!

Lucifer: Cool. Want to play?

Nazeel: Sure!

With smile he ran to Lucifer and together they turned on the game. For couple of minutes they were playing silently till Nazeel decided to speak.

Nazeel: Umm, uncle Lucifer?

Lucifer: Mm?

Nazeel: During camping you once mentioned that you also have a pet, a dog.

Lucifer: That's right. And so?

Nazeel: Ummm, I didn't want to ask you about it when momma was here, but....may I ask you to show you the pet?

Lucifer was surprised by such question.

Lucifer: Are you sure you want it, pal? My pet is not like your Sona.

Nazeel: Really?

Lucifer: Yep. He is huge and can be suspicious to strangers.

Nazeel: Even to children?

Lucifer: Weeeell....if they behave well, then he will be kind.

He looked at Nazeel and surprised as Nazeel's eyes sparkled from excitement.

Lucifer: Don't tell me that even after this you still want to see him. What will Anoli say about it?

Nazeel: But I so want to see your pet, uncle Lucifer. Pleeeeeease.

He made those legendary puppy eyes that could break any person's heart. Lucifer sighed with smile.

Lucifer: Okay, only under one condition: you're staying close to me. And no word to Anoli~

Nazeel: Yaaaay!

Nazeel smiled brightly as hugged Lucifer tightly, which made him smile and giggle.

Lucifer: Then shall we go now?

Nazeel nodded as both stood up, turned off the console and together teleported to Purgatory Hall. Around the same time, Archie and Xel were training with fireballs again. Archie almost got it, but still needed to practice more. And this time, rooms were not burnt.

Xel: *sighs* Okay, that's enough for today. Not bad progress tho.

Archie: Thanks, Xel.

Xel: Tell me, brat, are you hungry?

Archie: A bit.

Xel: Okay, I will order then-

She couldn't finish the sentence as felt a call from Hell. Seemed like new souls have arrived.

Xel: Damn, not now.

Archie: What is it, Xel?

Xel: Oh, it's nothing. Just, uhh, need to do some stuff.

Archie: Really? But what about lunch?

Xel sighed deeply as thought for a moment. She couldn't leave Archie alone and at the same time she couldn't take him with her, as her duty is "not for kids".

Xel: Ughh, damn, I have to ask Lilith for help. Okay, brat, listen, I have some stuff to do, but because I can't leave you alone like this for now, I have to ask Lilith to keep an eye on you.

Archie: Does it mean I will go to Hell?

Xel: Don't worry, not for bad reason, I will try to finish it quick. So, you're okay with it?

Archie nodded as held Xel's hand and together they got to Purgatory Hall, where Lilith was there, dealing with some papers. She felt the presence of two people and looked up.

Lilith: Oh, Xel, Archie, good day~

Archie: Good day, Ms Lilith.

Xel: Lilith, listen, I have stuff to do in Hell, but I can't leave this brat alone. Can you help me?

Lilith: Sure, but why such sudden request?

Xel: You know why.

Xel looked at Lilith, and by such look Lilith understood the reason. Archie looked at them confused.

Lilith: Well, I think I can take a minute for such request~

Xel: Cool, thanks, Lilith. I will be back in a minute.

Archie wanted to add something, but it was too late: Xel already vanished. Sighing, he looked at Lilith.

Archie: So, what will we do now?

Lilith: Fortunately I have a good movie and some sweets for such occassions. A good demon Vylixia suggested me, said that it's something that you humans like.

Archie: Really? Sounds cool.

Lilith: Great~ Then, shall we-

They were about to go to a children guest room, but suddenly they heard voices, so familiar to Lilith. It was Nazeel and Lucifer.

Nazeel: Why are we not in Hell?

Lucifer: You see, demons began to be more active lately, and because of it, a direct teleportation to Hell became dangerous. So, I thought that getting to Hell through Purgatory is safer.

Lilith: And more convenient, I must say~

Lucifer and Nazeel got surprised for a moment, but as they turned around, they saw familar woman and a new person. Well, for Lucifer Archie was familiar.

Lucifer: Oh, Archie, Lilith, what an unexpected meeting.

Nazeel: *thinks to himself* Archie?

Lilith: I see our nephilim friend is here too. Glad to see you two.

Archie suddenly got stunned as he remembered the story.

Archie: *thinks to himself* Wait, a nephilim?

Lilith: What is our little friend doing here?

Lucifer: Nazeel wanted to see my dog, and here we are. Also, Nazeel, meet Archie. Archie, meet Nazeel.

Nazeel: Hello!

He waved happily while Archie waved back with shy. Or was it hesitation? He was more stunned by news that Lucifer has a dog. Lilith noticed it as tried to cool down the tension.

Lilith: How about we make our meeting at children guest room? There we all can talk and have a proper meeting.

Nazeel: And later we will go and see Lucifer's dog?

Lucifer: Of course~

Nazeel: That sounds fine to me.

He smiled and everyone went to children guest room.

And that's the first part of the story^^ Very unexpected meeting, don't you think?^^ Hope it will go on well X')

Winter holidays (part 5)

Several days passed since our crew celebrated Christmas together. Liya and Axel spent those days together, having fun and just enjoying their time. Anoli, Nazeel and Chris spent those days walking, chatting and just relaxing. Good time for Chris and Anoli to learn each other more and be sure in their feelings to each other. Lucifer of course spent those days good, but in his own way. Michael could have some time to rest before New Year.

And finally New Year Day came. Everyone got together again as they talked to each other about their time spending.

Anoli: So you were with Axel all these days?

Liya: Yep, spending time together before a new year comes~

Nazeel: Also walking like we did?

Liya: Yes, dear~ Just like you did together~

Chris (whispering to Anoli): I'm highly doubt about their time spending together. Axel looks a bit tired and....red from blush?

Anoli (whispers to Chris): I know what you're thinking. Well, Liya is like this, i can't change her nature. I just hope that Axel can still find powers to say no sometimes.

Nazeel: Momma, Mr Chris, what are you whispering?

Anoli and Chris: Nothing!

They both smiled as blushed a lot from nervous while Liya smirked and petted Nazeel.

Liya: How about you check how is Sona? Maybe he needs a company?

Nazeel: Oh, right, i need to feed him.

And Nazeel went to check Sona. Suddenly there was a ring from the door and Axel went to open it this time. Behind the door was Lucifer.

Lucifer: Hi, everyone! Sorry for being late a bit, demon traffics and so.

Axel: Demon traffics?

Liya: It's in our language "Needed to deal with little troublemakers"~ And don't worry, Lucifer, you're not late~

Lucifer: Good~

As Lucifer entered, Axel closed the door. Anoli and Chris looked at Lucifer. Chris still felt a bit uneasy after first meeting with him and yet tried to be himself.

Chris: H-Hello, Mr Lucifer.

Lucifer: Just saying my name is enough, buddy~ No need to be official. Don't worry, i will not bite~

Anoli: Oh, hi, Lucifer. Decided to meet New Year with us?

Lucifer: Well, more like to be sure that our little buddy is safe and sound.

Chris: Umm, he is? He is feeding Sona now. Oh, speaking about food, i need to check if it's ready.

Anoli: Okay, Chris, call me if need help.

She and Chris smiled as he went to the kitchen. Lucifer looked around as came to Anoli and whispered.

Lucifer: I just want to be sure that nobody will make a sudden attack on Nazeel. You know that not all angels and demons accept the fact of Nephilim's existence.

Anoli: I know. And it's honestly sad. I wish Michael was here too.

Lucifer: He will be~ Just a bit sneaky for now, if it's okay.

Anoli: Why?

Lucifer: Well, Nazeel doesn't know him in person yet, sooo-

Anoli: Oh, yeah, true, sorry. I will introduce him to Michael later.

She smiled with sweat as heard that Chris was calling her. She asked Lucifer to help Liya and Axel with setting up the table as went to the kitchen. Nazeel was helping too as Sona ate a bit and followed his owner. Everyone was doing their task and soon the table was set. Nazeel decided to change his clothes into his favourite hoodie he got on Christmas.

As everyone took their places, our crew started a celebration, chatting and laughing. Lucifer had a small chance to tell some of the stories from his life in Hell. Chris of course was a bit astonished, but Anoli reasured him that no living creatures got hurt during such stories. Nazeel was enjoying food as noticed how Anoli and Chris got closer to each other, not only like friends, but....soulmates?

After dinner, our crew decided to play a bit some board games before clock strikes twelve. Liya and Lucifer of course tried to cheat as they are demons. Anoli and Chris tried to prevent it as everyone laughed and had fun. Sona joined the fun too as moved figures a lot while Nazeel tried to put them back.

As everyone had fun, Anoli and Chris looked at each other's eyes with blush and then looked away.

They were not sure how to start, what to say and how to react. Moreover, who will start? They couldn't hide their feelings to each other anymore. Since the moment of them meeting each other in real life and not only as a messenger and saved soul, not only as good friends.

Anoli: Chris, i-

Chris: Anoli, i-

They didn't finish the sentence as got silent again and blushed.

Anoli: Ummm, you can start first.

Chris: Oh no, ladies first.

Anoli: Well, i insists, please.

Chris: That's okay, I give you a chance.

They got silent again as looked at each other and then away with blush. For some minutes they didn't say any word while others enjoyed board gaming time. Then, Anoli and Chris looked at each other again with smile.

Anoli and Chris: I...

They knew it was no use to take it long. They turned to each other as held their hands.

Chris: Anoli, i....i need to tell you something. For long time i have never had such amazing friend and supporter like you.

Anoli: And i haven't met such nice and amazing person like you. I know that every person is amazing in their own way. But....you're more incredible.

Chris: So as you, Anoli.

They smiled as kept holding hands. Nazeel meanwhile looked at what Chris and Anoli were doing and asked Liya.

Nazeel: Mommy, what are momma and Mr Chris doing?

Liya looked at Nazeel and then at Anoli and Chris. She smiled.

Liya: This is what we call "confessing feelings" to each other.

Nazeel: Like you did with Mr Axel?

Liya nodded as Nazeel's eyes sparkled. Axel looked at Liya and Nazeel as noticed that they were looking at someone. Lucifer got curious too.

Meanwhile Anoli and Chris didn't notice that they were watching. But did they care? The clock was almost at 12th and they knew that less time left before New Year.

Chris: You know what i will say now.

Anoli: I do. And you know what i will say too.

Chris: Hehe, yeah.

They smiled as looked at each other's eyes and in one breath they said those important three words.

Anoli and Chris: I love you.

As those words were said, everyone got amazed. The clock was almost at 12th as Chris and Anoli got closer to each other.

When the clock stroke 12th, they fell into deep passion kiss. The fireworks sounded outside as everyone started to cheer and were happy for them. Even Axel got surprised from such turn of event.

Axel: "Oh wow, what a man.."

Axel thought to himself as Liya and Nazeel cheered up for Anoli and Chris.

Liya: Congratulations to both of you!~

Nazeel: Yay! Momma and Mr Chris confessed to each other!

Anoli and Chris jumped a bit from surprise as looked at everyone with deep blush. They were not expecting others watching them, but they smiled and laughed. Lucifer smiled too, as noticed that Michael was standing next to him.

Michael (whispers): Got on time?

Lucifer (whispers): Just in time~ Did you prepare fireworks?

Michael (whispers): I asked some nice people to launch fireworks. Hope i don't look too ridiculous wearing the same outfit from Christmas.

Lucifer (whispers): No, that's fine. You did great. And don't worry about outfit, it's better than just appearing all of sudden as stranger.

Michael (whispers): So did you with keeping them safe today. And you're right.

They fist bumbed with smile as Nazeel ran to Chris and Anoli, hugging them and being happy for such news.

Michael (whispers): Well, i better come back to Heaven. Gabriel needs my help.

Lucifer (whispers): Sure, don't worry. Happy New Year~

Michael (whispers): You too.

He smiled as disappeared sneakely. Lucifer looked at our crew who was smiling and cheering for new couple as smiled himself. Axel was still surprised how Chris could be so brave in such thing. He thought to himself that he has to be like this too sometimes, has to be also first to show the appreciation and love, like Liya did to him. He looked at Liya with blush.

Liya: Now that it's official, we need to celebrate it~

Chris: I will have just cola

Anoli: Agree

Nazeel: I will have pineapple juice. I'm so happy for momma and Mr Chris.

Anoli: Me too, dear.

She smiled as petted Nazeel's hair. Axel kept thinking that it's now or never. It was one chance.

Liya: Then, i will go and bring some-

She couldn't finish the sentence as suddenly felt Axel's lips on hers. She got blushed deeply as felt his passion kiss. When he stopped she looked at him confused.

Liya: A-Axel??

Axel: Liya, i can't hold this anymore. Since that day when we became couple, you were always the one who showed feelings to me, who made me feel loved. And i was always afraid to take step first. But I can't keep doing this anymore.

Liya was astonished by his words as everyone were surprised too, even Lucifer almost coughed.

Liya: Axel, you...

Axel: Yes, Liya. I want to show love and support to you too. Even that you're demon, i don't care. For all of my life i have never felt like this before. I was just a boy who was never brave towards others. So, Liya, from this moment, i will always show love and support like you do.

Liya couldn't say any word for a moment. She had never felt such energy from Axel before. Usually men would not be like this towards her as she was a demon, succubus. And now seeing Axel like this. Everyone were also silent, waiting for a moment. Axel was ready to hear everything from her. But Liya only smiled and laughed lightly with blush. Axel was not sure about her reaction as everyone were confused.

Liya: Axel, you're such unpredictable boyfriend~ Why did you wait for special day to say it?~

She hugged his neck as Axel got blushed, but smiled and laughed nervously.

Axel: Sorry, i was just not sure how you would react.

Liya: Silly, i have been waiting when you will take first step~ And i'm so proud of you~

They smiled to each other as Anoli and Chris cheered for them. Nazeel was a bit confused.

Nazeel: Did Mr Axel confess again?

Lucifer: No, buddy. He just finally became a man~

Nazeel: Really?

Lucifer: Yep. He finally took a first step and he became bravier~

Nazeel: Oh, i see. That's so great! Congratulations to Mr Axel! He is the braviest!

He said happily as Axel blushed even more from embarrassement, but smiled. Even Sona barked happily as ran around and everyone laughed.

Lucifer: Well, we forgot another thing to say~

Anoli: Oh, yeah, we totally forgot about it.

Chris: Don't worry, we can still say it now.

Nazeel: Agree! Let's say it together!

Everyone: Happy New Year!

And with such words, our crew continued celebrating the coming of new year happily. Maybe confession doesn't suppose to be on holidays. And yet, holidays make such moments even more majestic and beautiful^^

---------

And that's the last part of winter holidays stories^^ It took longer as usual, so sorry for it^^" And yet, i still hope you will like it and will also enjoy holidays^^

Happy Holidays to you, guys^^
