Overthinking and Memories

(Note: this takes place in the time gap between parts 3 and 4)

Warning: A lot of self hatred internal dialogue ahead and alluding to nudity, flashback sex, and conception. Hurt comfort ahead.

One night….

Miguel: *Lies in bed fully awake, unable to sleep he looks down at Sunny and smiles a little. Her head rests on his chest as she sleeps peacefully in his arms. He parts and twirls her hair between his fingers. His other hand makes its way to her small baby belly, gently caressing the tiny life growing in there. A sudden feeling of guilt strikes him. How many times had she fallen asleep in his arms like this, wordlessly begging him to stay, only for him to leave her before she opened her eyes? How many mornings did he break her heart? Too many. He then thinks, how could she forgive me just like that when I was so dismissive of her?*

Years ago….

Ximena: Miguel this isn’t the end, there are other things that can give your life meaning.

Miguel: *scoffs* Like what you?

Ximena: ……..This is the part where you apologize.

Miguel: This is the part where you leave.

Ximena: ….Fine, I can’t watch you do this to yourself.

Miguel: Of course you’re quitting.

Ximena: I’m not, this place still needs a doctor, but as far as “us” goes, we’re done personally.

Miguel: Oh it’s too diffic-

Ximena: Yes it is, it breaks my heart to see you like this.

Miguel: I don’t need you anymore.

Ximena: Same to you.

Present evening…

Miguel: *Finds himself thinking about Ximena, their relationship was never something really serious but she was his friend and Gabriella’s doctor. Nowadays they barely say a few words to one another. Can’t blame her, not after being a total culero. He then feels little movements where his hand rests on Sunny’s baby belly, their little one is quickening.*

Many years ago…

*A 19 year old Miguel lays in the hospital bed with his wife Tempest, his hand rubs her 6 month baby belly, he smiles as he thinks about their daughter growing in there.*

Tempest: *smiles as she runs her fingers through his hair, then frowns a little* Miggy?

Miguel: Yes Tormenta?

Tempest: Can we talk?

Miguel: We are talking

Tempest: I mean seriously

Miguel: Okay, what about?

Tempest: You know how I’ll probably die not long after she’s born right?

Miguel: ……..yeah. And I promise you I will try my best to be a good dad for her.

Tempest: Oh I know you will, *caresses his face* I have no doubt in my mind that you’ll be a devoted dad to her. It’s something else..

Miguel: What is it mi amor?

Tempest: When the time is right, I want you to find love again.

Miguel: Tempest-

Tempest: You’ve given me everything Miguel, I want you to be happy, so promise me that along with raising our baby girl, you’ll keep living your life. Okay?

Miguel: ….. okay. *He kisses her deeply and holds onto her.*

Present evening……

Miguel: *Looks down as he feels teardrops on his chest*

Sunny: *Still asleep cries, whimpering* No No No Please.

Miguel: Shhh… it’s alright Sunny… *He says and he gently rubs her freckled back and holds onto her. Gently kissing her temple.*

Months ago….

Sunny: *Holds onto Miguel as he relentlessly and passionately pounds inside her. The sounds of skin slapping, her bed creaking, and their moans and grunts echoes throughout her bedroom. She kisses and grasps onto him, silently secretly begging that tonight could be the night he stays. That tomorrow morning she won’t wake up alone.*

••••••

Miguel: *Gets out of her bed, he gets dressed not daring to look at a sleeping Sunny, and is about to walk away when… he hears her crying in her sleep.*

Sunny: *still asleep cries, whimpering* No No No Please.

Miguel: *She's having a nightmare. As much as he wants to, he fights the urge to stay and comfort her. Instead leaves that bedroom.*

••••

*Little did they both know at the time there was something inside Sunny that would change their lives forever.*

Present dawn….

Miguel: *Watches as the rising sunlight peaks through the window and lands on their bare bodies.*

Sunny: *stirs awake and looks up at Miguel*

Miguel: *smiles* Buenos Dias Soleada

Sunny: *smiles softly* Kakahiaka Miguel *looks down and rubs her baby belly* Kakahiaka pēpē

Miguel: *lays his hand on hers* Buenos Dias bebé

Sunny: *looks back up at Miguel and kisses him deeply*

Miguel: *Kisses her in turn and wraps his arms around her, he doesn’t deserve her forgiveness, nor her or their baby, but he’ll never leave them. Never again.*

🥺❤️

"Why do you have to leave? I don't want you to leave! You said everything would be okay!"

"I know, my love... but you are not safe here, nor can I protect you. When I can, I will come find you, and we can come back home. Together."

"Do you promise?"

"With all my heart."

"See? I told you, we'd eventually come back home together. You should have more faith in your mother, you know, my little sparrow."

"I do have faith in you. But you have to swear to me that you won't disappear again, at least, not as long as you have before. Promise?"

"With all of my heart."

First art of my Naruto oc Shiori Ito! Art done fabulously by @skykashi

You truly did a fantastic job bringing her to life. Thank you so much!

I'm only part way through Shippuden. Things in this lore could change as I continue through the anime. I know some stuff that happens but don't quite know when. This is just what I have so far.

Placing a cut here so this novel doesn't bog down anyone's feed. Under it is her lore if you wanna read it.

There's some darker stuff in how she got her scars and mention of her mother struggling with infertility. So be aware of that.

Shiori comes from a clan that is dying out. She and her father, Kenshin Ito, might be the only remaining blood members of the family.

Her father adored his wife. She was the light of his life but she struggled to conceive and carry children. After trying for a long time, she was finally able to have a single baby, Shiori. The pregnancy was extremely difficult and they were told to go through this again may result in the mother dying. Her father was not exactly thrilled that his one child was a girl but didn't want to lose his wife.

You see, the notoriety of the clan had died out with the other members. So if Shiori were to marry, they had no real leverage to request that the man take their name. Their only bargaining chip was their Kekkei Genkai. But even that probably wouldn't be enough. So her father was just going to have to be content with the family he had and accept that he and Shiori would be the last of their clan and the power would pass to a new name if she married.

Yeah... he couldn't. For the first few years, he tried. He really did. But the idea of his daughter marrying and their name disappearing and their power being given to another man's name bothered him. It bothered him so much that in his anger of being the man to let the Ito clan pass to unworthy hands, he decided that it was best for it to die with them now rather than be muddied. Yay.

One day, he took Shiori out for training. He'd started to show her how to use their Kekkei Genkai recently. The power itself is a poison release where they can take poisons out of plants around them and crystallize them into darts. She thought nothing of it and she was also a child who trusted her father. Instead of starting to train, he pinned her to the ground and was going to drive a blade through her heart then do the same to himself. What stopped him was realizing that killing Shiori would devastate his wife. She'd been through so much heartache trying to have a child that he'd be robbing her of that happiness. He then came to the realization that he only needed to make her hideous enough so that no man would want her. He took the blade to her face and began to cut it up. Telling her that no one would want her if she was a disfigured monster (not those words exactly but that's the gist).

Shiori fought back and tried to escape but being that she was little, only incurred defensive cuts on her hands and arms. Mama Ito heard her screams from the garden and instantly came running. Coming upon the scene of her husband disfiguring her baby. Without hesitation, she struck him with the small shovel she was holding until he passed out or died. They don't know which. He fell limp and Mama Ito scooped up Shiori, got what little she could carry and the two left for the village hidden in the leaves. There, they would start over unsure if her father had survived. Mama Ito works in Ino's family's flower shop.

Upon arriving, Shiori noticed instantly that people stared at her. At first she understood it was concern but some of the children poked fun at her and that mixed with the concern and her father's words, she began to see herself as a hideous monster. Her mother got her a mask to wear. Painting some of her favorite flowers on the surface. She wanted Shiori to see herself how she saw her. Mama Ito intended the mask to be a thing to help her only until the cuts healed to scars. It became a twenty year thing. In fact, after the first few days in the village, no one has seen Shiori without a mask in public. It just sorta became the norm. Despite her mother's best attempts, Shiori still sees her face as being unpleasant and hard to look at.

Now, when she was a child but after she started to wear the mask, she met Guy. Despite wearing the mask, some of the village boys would pick on her and push her around. Guy wasn't having any of this. Challenging the boys to a fight and promptly getting his ass kicked. Shiori would visit him in the hospital and brought him flowers. He'd get in fights with the same boys over her multiple times and each time she'd visit him in the hospital and bring him flowers. Always the same ones. Lavender, Verbena and Jasmine for healing, daisies for gratitude and a single red rose. She was smitten.

For years, throughout their training, he'd cheer her on and she'd do so for him quietly. She grew up to be a soft spoken person. Every time she thought about telling Guy how she felt, she imagined taking off her mask and seeing him shrink back in disgust. So she would just stay put. She was assigned a trio and went through the normal training. Due to her Kekkei Genkai and skill as a Shinobi, she was brought into the ANBU Black Ops pretty early. She was sent on missions with Kakashi a few times. They bonded despite both being reserved and enjoyed working together. He noticed her interest in Guy right away. On their first mission together, she was quiet but super professional and extremely good at what she does. But the moment they returned and Guy would challenge Kakashi and greet her, she was a bumbling mess.

At the time of Naruto, she was selected by the 3rd Hokage and works directly with him (and later Tsunade). Both find her gentle nature in spite of the darkness caused by her trauma to be trustworthy and neither fear she would doublecross them. Otherwise she does normal ranked missions. She and Kakashi are friends and both are fans of the Make-Out Tactics and Make-Out Paradise books.

Shiori has an affinity for animal companions. A favorite headcanon of mine is summons are just naturally drawn to her. She has her own summon, a mouse called Akko (might change it later).

Shiori and Guy end up together in a rather humorous way. Due to her worry that Guy would find her face disgusting, Shiori planned to keep her feelings to herself and just hope whomever he picked would love him the way he deserved to be loved. She also thought that Guy had worked so hard for everything he had so he deserved to have a partner that wasn't a challenge to love. Fate, or rather a misunderstanding by Rock Lee had other plans.

Lee overhears Shiori's friends poking lighthearted fun at her crush on a certain green jumpsuit and thought they were referring to him. He asks Guy what to do without telling him that it was Shiori. Guy's advice is to be forthright with her. Lee asks Guy to come with him for support. Lee then approaches Shiori and very loudly proclaims that he's flattered but his heart belongs to Sakura. Guy, deeply confused, asks Lee to paint him a clearer picture of the situation. Lee explains what he overheard (green jumpsuit, bowl cut, power of youth) and Guy is flabbergasted. He had no idea that Shiori felt that way about him. He poses the alternative of it being him and not Lee. Lee does see how this makes more sense and wants to apologize but Shiori has already fled. Begging Lady Tsunade to send her on a mission before she has to face this.

Guy comes looking for her to talk about what Lee had overheard. It all comes out then. She admits to her longstanding crush, she reveals her scarred face to him and they decide to explore this. Guy isn't offput by her facial scars in the least. He actually finds the scars to be very beautiful. He thinks she should stop wearing the mask. The scars are a testament to her resilience and accomplishment in suffering and coming out kind despite it. It takes a long time but eventually she gains the courage to go without the mask.

I do plan for her to face her father in the future. He'd come to Konoha but I'm not sure when or what he's been doing this whole time. Guy is extremely ready to fight him though.

But that's what I got so far...

(Besides the Jiraiya lore 😏)

HI, NOW, (RE)INTRODUCING MY OC, NOELLE

HII, SINCE THIS OPTION WON SOME DAYS AGO IMMA INTRODUCE MY CUTIE!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH

Due to the flop of the first post, I posted this a 2nd time since i posted this at 3 am originally :D

° Her name is Noelle (Ignore the big "Elaine" in the drawing, that was the original name) she is 14 years old and she is Kalish! She is a cutie patootie whit diagnosed ADHD

° She is an red giant star! She tooks the MC place and has the energy electric center! A little (too) distracted , kinda impulsive and maybe reckless, but she has such a beautifull flame inside her and is so big-hearted.

° I based her design on how I looked when I was 14 a couple years ago. Whit the signature bun I had and my love for tank tops and bracelets (Till the dermatitis nation atacked)

°Her lore is kinda dumb, but I wrote it sooooo long so ill release it in other post whit some ugly art i did 4 her if this post get´s love

°I´ve done a ship whit Kieran and her, Chocolapple! :D Since she hates apples but loves chocolate and kieran vice versa (The olive theory)

°If you have ideas of her or how to improve her, let me know! Ideas like that will be apreciated! Or ideas of her team, i have no ideas about how to build it

Fun facts below the cut!

° Her surname is Lambert, she is from Kalos, she is 1.58 mts tall and weighst 67 kg

°Her favourute color is velvet or a soft pink, her favourite songs are Amour plastique and Rosas by La oreja de van Gogh

°She loves so much macarons, chocolate, tea, ham sandwiches and "Media luna rellena" (An arg dish that consist croissant used as ham an cheese sandwich bread)

° Her themes are:

Encounter: Queen - Deltarune

Battle! (Normal): Gourmet Race - Kirby

Battle! Vs Kieran (Championship match): Heartache - Undertale

The Santalune theme plays when you get in her room

° She speaks Kalish and paldean pretty well, as a native. Arven gave the fella extra paldean lessons, but despite being the main pokeworld language, she struggles whit Galarian (Poor girl) she had to take a preetty hard galarian exam to enter Blue berry (Sometimes a "Wi" or an "Orwa" scapes her mouth talking paldean or galarian) (If she wakes up too sleep deprived she confuses languages)

° That makes her have an horrible galarian accent, just imagine french tongue and spanish tongue tryng to pronounce english and fuse voth struggles. She speaks galarian to comunicate whit kieran, that made their bond even harder since none of them speaks it that well

°She is a sweet thoot, but she happens to hate apples, when Kieran gave Noelle a candy apple, hoping that she would love it, she didn´t like it and he got disaapointed

°She hasn't ogerpon in her team since she saw indigo disk kieran (If you lost the battle snd then you say she should catch it, the fact that you are not onay whit that isnt clear, Kieran)

°In BB she is laceys vest friend since they are both cute things lovers and sweet thoots

° She taught nemona and arven to cook "Pokelitos" for their pokemon! And then she also teaches lacey

°She will wear the summer uniform from both BB and Uva until she is freezing (She loves summer uniform so much)

Yo. I trust your opinion when it comes to Dragon Age. How much of an RPG is this game? I enjoyed the Baldur's gate games, mass effect and previous dragon age games. Liked Oblivion and New vegas too. Can people properly roleplay here?

I'm flattered! Honestly though, I'm not quite sure how to answer this question because I don't quite know what "properly roleplay" means because I'm not sure I've ever done it - I'm more interested in the companions, NPCs, and setting/context/story beats than the player character - but I'll try to share some of my experience. Of those games, I've played BG3 and DA (and I did beat Veilguard) so that's my context.

I can definitely say that the role of Rook is solidly an earnest, friendly hero. There is no Evil Route nor any RP options to be cruel/rude/curt (to allies and friendly NPCs - you can tear into some antagonists. For example, early on you can leave an NPC to die of blight if you feel they deserve it). But personally, I mostly find these unfriendly options tasteless/cringy and never choose them anyway, so I didn't even notice until I saw someone else point it out (and I'm enjoying my second run, where I can freely pick the sarcastic or stern dialog option without worrying my Rook is gonna tell some random villager to go fuck themselves after their heartfelt appeal for help). It's like playing a much more reactive and lively Link from LOZ - he's always gonna do what it takes to save Hyrule, and the people he befriends along the way will always help. The story is pretty linear; you go from one place to another, helping people so they'll help you later, fight bosses, and gradually the story progresses. There were definitely more Choices in Inquisition; Veilguard is more along the lines of DA2, where Hawke was at the mercy of circumstances outside of their control and reacting more than acting. The major choices are more about heartache, regret, and the cost of being a hero than influencing the path the story takes (or so I can tell from just one play through). I'm not an OC guy, but I did find myself immersed and connected emotionally to Rook and experienced some pretty high and low feelings throughout the game along with her.

I don't think Veilguard really even knows what it wanted to be. It probably lands somewhere between an action adventure game and an RPG, perhaps leaning toward the former. It can be kind of a flashy mess. It blows that the previous games were shafted and the game is worse for it. I'm not a lore nerd or nostalgic long-time fan, but I can understand the complaints from them about it not fitting in with the prior games. But I do find it very fun and engaging, and I'm looking forward to a few runs at least. It's overall a solid 7/10 for me with a few aspects that are 3s and a few that are 10s

[yeyinde]

can i just say, I love your writing 💙 im new to the cod fandom though and I need a jump point so do you have any fav fics/fic recs?

of course!! i have a little something for everything! listing all of my favourite fics would take ages, so here are the authors i go to whenever i need a COD fix. this is barely scrapping the surface, however; and i know there are so many others that i've missed, but these stick out to me the most.

First Person/OC

@irnbru32 @raffe156 @bloodyknucklesforme all write incredible FP stories about Soap, Ghost, Price. their OCs are so fleshed out and real, but it doesn't take away from the story at all, and is so easy to superimpose yourself/your own OC into the fic. absolutely lovely!!!!! i have personal favourites from each but their whole masterlist is a must.

Headcanons

@bitchysouljellyfish has amazing headcanons!

want König? @bloodlst is the best place to go. not only are her König fics/headcanons amazing, she also makes the most beautiful gifs i've ever had the pleasure of viewing. stunning. she pours her heart into it and it shows 🖤

Reader-Insert

@charnelhouse is the reason i'm so obsessed with COD. her writing is absolutely impeccable, and shatters me each time. it's blisteringly hot, and everything she was writes is just pure gold. flawless. there are not enough words in the English language to describe how i feel about each piece that is posted.

@moondirti will break you into pieces and reassemble you again. Dee's writing leaves me windswept and flustered; waking up dazed on the beach. i die. it kills me. it's pure poetry. i'm obsessed with it. her recent Price fic has shattered me beyond repair, and is currently my number one favourite fic.

@spillways-mp3 rides the line between angst, heartache, and fluff in a way that leaves me spiralling each and every single time. i absolutely cannot get enough.

@sprout-fics pours so much effort and love into everything she writes. if you want something that has an abundance of rich texture, lore, and dedication to plot, characters, and story, this is where you should absolutely go.

@halfmoth-halfman i'm absolutely convinced they somehow found a way to bottle up fluff and domesticity, and the perfect amount of angst, shake it all together, and then weave it on a page. it's so lovely. most of my comfort fics are found here.

@mvtthewmurdvck absolutely breathtaking. insanely stunning pieces. her Ghost x Reader series has fundamentally changed the way i view Ghost. it has uprooted the things i thought i knew. it's also, for me, drenched in nostalgia for a place i miss the most. her way of painting pictures is achingly brilliant.

@guyfieriii she has an amazing series on an AU for Professor Price x Reader. it edges the line the between illicit and beautiful. not to mention, some of my favourite tropes?? all found here.

@taurus-ted has an amazing Ghost piece that will obliterate you in the best way. @konigbabe and @cinnamon-mey also have such wonderful fics!!!

Fauxsun parents are referred to as Dams. While in English it's used to specify who gave birth. However, Fauxsuns it is used universally for all parents regardless.

They have their own unique language that has some similarities to English but is vastly different. Many words that are recognized, often many not mean the same thing.

Don’t Blame My English Blood For This American Heartache

Info, author’s note, etc

AO3 info prologue one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve

All my work is 18.

Summary: Seraphine Malfoy had been raised in California by her Squib parents with no knowledge of her family's magical heritage, though she has received lessons from a local family. When she discovers she’s the sole heir to the Malfoy family, she leaves for England to step into that role. She can handle the balls and the responsibilities and her new family members. The only thing that throws her completely off is the appearance of Death Eater turned war hero Regulus Black, who, despite being ridiculously full of himself, is far too good looking, charming—and far too persistent—for her own good.

Author’s Note:

So you may or may not be aware of this already, but I’ve been working on this for awhile. It’s not done yet, I’m just posting it in honor of Sera’s birthday, which is today. I’m currently working on chapter nine, and I suspect I’ll need at least another three. I’ll be posting every other day, I figure. Also part of the fun of writing this for me was seeing how much stuff I could put in there that would piss off JKR. So the OC is Jewish (her parents converted prior to her birth), and if anybody @s me about how I wrote it incorrectly (I don’t think I did, though) please know that I’m writing her growing up Jewish based how I grew up. You don’t need any understanding of Judaism in order to read the fic, I don’t think. Her best friend is a trans woman, too, which is fun. The trans woman in question is based on my irl best friend, who worked closely with me on “her” character.

Other things to note:

I play it fast and loose with the lore; I change what I don’t like and treat canon as fic inspo. I have indeed read the books, I’ve done tons of research, and I have a family tree made for the fic, same as I always do. I also have every outfit I describe of Sera’s as well as 3D tours of most of the houses described.

Sera was raised entirely separate from Wizarding society, British or US. She has no knowledge of it. This means she’ll use different words for things and spells (relocate instead of apparate, blue animal instead of patronus, that kind of thing). If something seems a little bit odd to you, chances are I explain it later.

Sera does not use a wand. She is not necessarily more powerful than your average witch, it’s just that she learned without one. You may be aware that canonically, Native American witches and wizards (Sera learns from one such family) didn’t use wands, and supposedly their magic was less powerful. I think that’s stupid. If a wand is a lightning rod, that doesn’t mean the lightning isn’t powerful outside of it, it’s just not as concentrated. As a result, the way Sera learned was without a wand but with more force behind each spell. She also learned in Awaswas, the native language of the Uypi tribe (historically they were a tribe living in the Santa Cruz mountains of Northern California, but unfortunately they are extinct now. However, I figure there’s no reason that magical families wouldn’t have been just fine against the colonizers), but she uses nonverbal magic almost exclusively now.

I think that’s everything. If you have any questions, please lmk.

[aetheriumstardust]

Hiii! I'm just super curious about something... Do you have any other OCs besides the two in your pinned post? Also, what's Eternity of Dust and Stars about? I like talking about OCs and cool writing ideas. I just want to say keep up the fantastic work and never give up!

Oh wow! Hello there fellow writer!

I honestly didn't think anyone was going to be even remotely interested in my little writing here since it was just a spur of the moment thing. Glad to see at least someone else enjoyed it!

To answer your question: Yes, there are going to be more characters involved with my story I just didn't put them in that post because they weren't really relevant to it at the time. I just wanted it to be about the main 2 protagonists plus the main antagonists.

My story is mostly going to be about people who can turn into beasts of mythology all living in a massive world and they are governed by Deities (All of which are going to be made up God's) and Sovereign's (which are the gods vessels or power holders - they do everything a God does except they have a more physical form in the world rather than a "spiritual one"). The Phoenix race in this story of mine also play a very heavy role in it as well - they are known as the Overseer's. They kind of are like the judges of good and evil and they protect the land where the Sovereign's cannot because they can't be everywhere all at once.

The main focus of the story is obviously going to be about defeating the evil Entity of Tears and bringing peace to the world but there's going to be a lot more stuff involved. Betrayal, love, heartache, found family, angst, drama, death and trauma. I'm going to try to bring in mythology lore into the story for all the beasts of legend while also putting my own little spin on it.

11, 17, and 21 for Micolash!

(Asks from this ( x ) meme)

11) How did you “fall in love” with this character?

Although I liked him from the start, the "falling in love" did not happen instantly! Especially because my primal Bloodborne exposure was within an extremely small and secluded group, in which a snobbish near-Redditor friend would condemn "cringey Tumblr girls crushes" XD I was a little nervous upon realising that my attraction and curiosity to Micolash was only growing with every day, that I kept checking the same fanarts of him every day. I was not thrilled to feel judged so I was in denial and forged exclusively lorediggey interest. And then I just took my confidence back with this meme that started it all:

Basically, there was no particular trigger, but instead, everything I've learned about this character became planted seeds, and yet they sprouted and kept growing. My own wild, unhinged imagination and daydreaming was the water, good fanart and headcanons were the sunlight. Ironically though, this same friend helped to nourish it; he is very good at making impressions of characters and I asked him to write as Micolash in my starvation for more dialogue. It was so in-character that it did feel like getting extra script of Mico's lines.

17) Have you ever felt physical pain over this character? (ex: physical heartache).

Yeah... I am a little ashamed of it, but ey. No need to beat myself up for how my brain is wired? I've had two times of unexplainable nausea (as it, I was not sick or poisoned) because of this man! Both times happened after a particularly striking dream revolving around him. I also sometimes got strong headaches because of him, when I was spiralling into thinking about him too much!

21) Are your feelings about this character platonic, romantic, or familial? All of these feelings at once maybe?

All of these in this order of development, and currently all of these at once. Like I said, I was instantly fascinated by him, then it grew into a strong crush.. And, strangely enough, whereas I instantly latched onto Rom, kinned her even, and shipped Romicolash, my brain involuntarily imagined an OC that I could project onto more than onto Rom, yet that'd be his sister. So, I had a chance to imagine myself being with him, and yet threw it away for familial relationship instead? This is a part of the many years long string of strange self-sabotages, in which whenever I fell hard for a fictional character I'd "ruin my chances" by making their sexuality exclude me, or inventing any other way why we could not be together even in my dreams. What scares me so? But hey, at least I had Rom, right? .....right?

Wrong. Meet the description I've glossed over at first, but that changed everything when @val-of-the-north convinced me to really peer into it all like 'ohhhh whooo could they beeee?'. Given the context, the description could be referring to Micolash and Rom, and my lore brain instantly picked up 500+ canon-fitting clues and explanations for why it absolutely made sense. I was delighted by it. I was frustrated by it. I felt like a genius that deciprehered a mystery that fandom did not see for 6-7 years. I knew Romicolash shippers would shy away from me for that one and I felt lonely. I felt proud because on the other side I started a "trend" that ricocheted across the fandom so much that now headcanon of Rom and Micolash as siblings is the norm, not exception. I hated myself for sabotaging my only means to "be" with Micolash in my dreams.

But in the end, I just... accepted it? I've found peace in knowing that different parts of my identity feel differently towards this man, and I can't sacrifice either. And I was able to internalise the differences between my Rom, other people's Rom and Rom as 'general character concept'. So I can like teacher-student, I can like friendship, I can like familial, I can like ship, I can like them as enemies. But this applies to me-me too! It is easier to name what feelings I do not have towards him hahah;

The unstablings lore recap... Technically Ravonna recap

Original characters: Ravonna Marin & Aiko Suzuki, the unstablings

Disclaimer: Aiko Suzuki is not my Oc!! It is @pan-simist and they allowed me to post their Oc on my Tumblr post!

Taglist: @biggestmitskifan

Born to have speed, cursed to be in youth, ███████ was created by a God, born before humans existed. A group of Elysians were made to gather history, study its inhabitants, and offer knowledge to the people of earth.

Ravonna is the name she took.

She watched as people die in wars in inventions she helped create; seeing the chaos, they vowed to stray away from them, only having the Elysians as her family.

Even then… they also strayed away. She felt angry, betrayed, and most of all abandoned.

She yearned companionship yet they always go, following death as they guided them away.

Despite having the speed of sound, she always stuck to history, never moving forward.

Until… 2019, summer of ████, Ravonna was speeding through the city of New York with stolen food in hand until she was roped into a crime scene, becoming a suspect by accident.

Tsuki Hagekure questioned her and was about to let her go, but… She had no government documents, no medical records; it was like she never existed. He decided to take it upon himself to keep an eye on the "thirteen-year-old" girl.

After admitting she has no home, Tsuki offered her to stay at his place, expecting him and him only to live alone. She was welcomed by his brother, Hikaru; his cousin, Sora; and… someone who is entirely unrelated, Aiko.

Soon, she'll learn to open herself again, trust them, and make friendships. But, for now, she'll stay in the dark.

So, Ravonna Marin was born with super speed and immortality along with other Elysians like Anthony and Diana, who I drew and posted! She is Romani, and she was born in a teen's body by her creator.

She is essentially kind of like a doll… robot... anything but human, I'd say.

She has a lot of abandonment issues, and she is a pathological liar!

She's very bitter. And that's all I have for Ravonna!

Onto… Aiko!

"Aiko’s character is by far one of my favourites to write and analyse; it is the most developed one I have had over the years, and it will continue onwards. The main thing to point out is that he is very neglectful of both his and others’ emotions, which causes a lot of his relationships to be inversed and usually don’t end too long [friendship, familial alike]. It wasn’t his fault; he was raised by people who disregarded his thoughts and feelings—a world that exploited him for his innocence. But does it justify all means? He had his own choice, his own morals, and most importantly, he’s afraid of being abandoned, yet he digs his own grave from his poor decisions. He thinks it’s normal for it to happen.

Feeling the pain of being abandoned feels so natural to him that it’s concerning. He’s afraid to comfort the people around him because he was once always pushed aside and bordered by the fact that “you’re not human, you won’t understand.” and that it would be unnatural for him to sympathise. All his attempts at trying to help other people just leave him being left alone, with nothing but words that slit through the heart. That someone leaving him is his fault or that he wasn’t enough for them to stay. He mostly blames him more than the other person. His “I don’t give a fuck” attitude is technically just his line of defence that if he shows people that he does not care, they won’t bother to even build a bond with him, which saves him the time to never feel another heartache.

Yet he adores people’s approval and adoration, which is why, despite his controversy within the acting industry, he pursued his career as an actor. I could say that the cast helped him develop as a person a lot. That despite everything, there are still people who will be there for you, with no strings attached. He felt a sense of freedom and closure that he had never felt before.

His relationship with Ravonna, however, was one of the most impactful for him [telling his both present and future wise], and he sees her as his younger sister. This is ironic because Ravonna acts more mature than him; it bothers him and sometimes flusters him when he fucks things up. So Ravonna leaving the cast was the abandonment that impacted him differently than the ones he had experienced. It made him angry to the bit; he questioned who was to blame. He was paranoid for some period, till he once again disregarded his emotions, his feelings putting on the burden that he had his fault for her leaving. That’s why he was so devastated that Ravonna didn’t look like she cared or thought of the effect of her actions; in his eyes, she wasn’t any different than the others. Everything goes all over again. Everyone is just the same."

For the OC ask I reblogged from you, if they're still open: 17, 18, 19, 20 for an OC of your choice? :0

Hmm these ones are interesting!!! Let's go with Crypta for these questions, i feel like they fit them the most (for the LORE >;]C)

17. Does your OC have an enemy? What happened between them? Is it mutual or one-sided? Is it petty or serious? Is one party seeking revenge? Does one person want the other dead or are they content to hate them from afar?  

Crypta has one specific enemy in mind, and that is Clemente Dawn; the man who framed their father for murder, and then proceeded to antagonize him and the rest of the family when he was finally released. With the desire to keep their family safe, Crypta would do whatever it took to keep him from taking more lives...even if it means taking his life first.

They do have other rivals as well, but most of them are temporary; Bloodlocke has the most hatred for Crypta out of all of them because of their association with the Boundless Bandits 😭 He's only gonna hate from afar if they aren't in his territory!! his hating ass...<3

18. Has your OC ever had a prophecy made about them? Was it a big deal or did they ignore it? Was it straightforward or cryptic? Did it ever come to pass or did they circumvent it? 

THANKFULLY NOT (YET?)‼️😭😭 If there were, crypta would try SO HARD to avoid it 🫣 they want noooo part of any kinda prophecy!!

'There's like at LEAST a couple other guys that can handle it...like c'mon now, in just some guy 😔'

19. Has your OC ever had an experience with the paranormal or the divine? What happened? Was it a one time encounter or is it a normal part of their life? Did they find it terrifying or thrilling? 

Yes, many times! When assisting the Boundless Bandits, they'd encounters various types of higher beings and cryptids on the regular basis. (Some even befriend Crypta and buy vegetables and fruits from her!) They'd also appear on Earth every now and then.

Any paranormal encounters? Not as often. But thrilling nonetheless!

20. Has your OC ever done something terrible and lied about it? Did they run away or blame someone else for it? How long did they maintain the lie and did the truth ever come out?

Yes...the Clemente Dawn situation. That was the only time she'd ever lie to everyone they held dear to them, especially her parents. No one knew they were fighting for their life in a disguise, only a select few had this information.

When the final showdown came, Clemente perished; THAT'S when the truth finally started to creep into the light...

The amount of trauma Crypta's body suffered from the battle caused a long stay at the hospital, and Corvus and Hector were the first to arrive.

Dimitri was the one to bring Crypta to the hospital. He was roughed up as well, but in manageable condition.

Confused, they pried for answers, and he told them everything...How miserable and terrified they were, how hard she tried to keep everyone safe...

How they couldn't even have told anyone if they tried, due to the Heartache Bane Curse.

Lots of grief and guilt hung in the air in that family. Even months after the incident, Crypta still looks at their parents--

...and wonders if they even trust her anymore?

About me and what I'm doing here

There's been quite a few new followers the past few weeks so might as well update my pinned post.

So first off, hi! I'm Alice, I use she/her pronouns, I'm 29+ (bit sensitive about that), a bi lesbian trans girl, and huge nerd. While I do some roleplay around these parts I don't strictly post in IC or OOC voice, so you can for the most part assume what I'm saying is me and not any of my characters unless I make it REALLY clear.

PFP Credit

What you'll find here

My Final Fantasy XIV reblogs and gposes mostly, though rather than keep side blogs for my interests I just sorta drop it all here haha. As well as any lore and snippets about my OCs and ships too.

I also dabble in roleplay, and am open to just about anything, though we should have a talk before any ERP. For that reason, while this blog is not strictly mature only, I must insist minors do not interact when it comes to roleplay.

Occasionally I'll also drop something about Disco Elysium, aka the Best Written Game Ever.

And now, introductions to all of my OCs! Under the cut to spare your scrolling:

Thus they serve as her reaper Avatar, feeding more deeply than ever before. Delicious...
