FANFIC POLL TIME!

Descriptions (because i NEED to explain things haha-):

CHOOSE WISELY

Of Bridges Built & Burned: Based off this clowning between me and @moodyseal

BUCKLE UP THIS GETS WILD READ THE LINK ABOVE FOR A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION

TD;LR- Commodus and Apollo get to both scream about their relationship (because it's usually only Commodus who does that), Commodus goes off to sulk/stew over it while Apollo completes his trials, then post-ToA they meet again and have a Much Needed Talk

...and *sobs* go separate ways... *ugly sobbing* DON'T MIND ME-

you know you love the ship when you write them breaking up in the most heart-wrenching scenario possible.

but shh...i have another idea to do with this but that's for another time😈

The Art of War: I've been DYING to do SOMETHING with Apollo (Favorite Son™) and Ares (Failure Son™) and I have 3 whole scenes in different points of time now!!!

First is when Apollo's young and new on Olympus. He's been shoved onto Ares for the time being because in Ancient Greece, boys were raised by their fathers and girls by their mothers, and when the father was unavailable, it was the eldest brother's job to watch his younger brothers.

Second scene is during/post Ares's kidnapping by the giants! Some Apollo angst, Zeus being the best dad ever (not), and Ares not having a good time.

Third and finally, is a little conversation post-ToA between them :3

The Sun's Rise: At last! Out of the vault! The moment we've been waiting for! Starring our boy Apollo, Prometheus being Prometheus, and a guest star you all should know by now :3

Hyapollo Multific: YEAH YOU HEARD IT. FIVE CHAPTERS OF HYAPOLLO, WITH SIDE DISHES OF APRICITY, HYARICITY, AND ONE-SIDED ZEPHYRUS PINNING FOR HYAPOLLO. COME GET UR FLUFF-DRAMA-ANGST FEST

@hyac1nthus i know you'd want to see this >:3

Koios ToA: What the hell was Koios doing during ToA? This fic will play like a snapshot of what our favorite titan was up too. Questions will be asked, answers will be found, and oh boy Phoebe and Koios are gonna have a bit o' long-overdue marital strife.

Drunk Twins: literally what is says on the label. the twins get drunk and the Hunt has to call in the mama wolf for backup lmao

The Conspiracy of Rachel Elizabeth Dare: based on this post by @hogoflight and expanded upon here by me! Rachel Dare is a conundrum to her friends, and they put their detective hats on to solve the case!

ToA BuzzFeed Unsolved: The Queer Capers of Lester Papadopoulos and Meg McCaffrey: BUZZFEED TIME! We need ToA buzzfeed fics so here I am making one :3

Apollo V Orion fight (with a side-dish of Jupiter & Commodus): Exactly what it says on the label lmao I had three oneshot ideas and then I went "COMBINE THEM!!" so here is a oneshot with three different things in it making a cohesive story :3

A Radiant Light: Did I make up an entire backstory for one background character? Yes. Is that character Phoebe the Hunter? Also yes.

how to get your daughter to divorce your brother and marry your nephew: a guide by demeter: funny fic about Demeter trying to get Meg, Nico, and Will to help her convince Persephone to divorce Hades and marry Apollo. Based off one of my headcanons haha

👀 lookin' forward to a lot of these, hehe!

FFXIV Write Day 3: Tempest

Orion’s gaze drifted over the scene of the Ondo performing their devotions and up into the ruin over their heads. It was pyramidal in shape and made of the same pale substance as the other ancient ruins that dotted the sea floor. An archway took up most of each of the four sides of the structure, leaving the inside hollow. They gleamed in the low, blue-shifted light like slivers of moon, pulled into the depths by the titanic magic of the Ancients.

“I’ll go fetch the others,” Kendra said, breaking him out of his enchantment.

“Oh,” Orion tore his eyes away from the sight and turned towards Kendra’s retreating form. “Alright. Shall I come with you?”

“No need,” she waved him off without turning back to look at him.

“Enjoy your archaeological musings or whatever. I’ll be back shortly.” Orion shrugged to himself and turned back to continue watching the Ondo ceremony below.

He did not have much time to enjoy his solitude however. The amber warmth of Ardbert’s presence bloomed in the back of his skull and his shade flickered into Orion’s peripheral vision. “That crystal you showed the artisan. Was it — did it belong to Lamitt?”

Orion chuffed a quiet laugh. “Miss that, did you?” he asked. “I thought you saw everything.”

Crossing his arms, and looking away, Ardbert pouted, “I try to give you a measure of privacy. No one wans a spirit looking over their shoulder every moment of the day.”

Orion turned to smile down at him, “I genuinely don’t mind, Ardbert. I know you’ve literally nothing else to do. It’s alright for you to watch most of the time, unless I ask for privacy.”

Appeased, Ardbert returned his smile. “I will keep that in mind,” he said. “So tell me, if you would. How did you come across that crystal?”

Just the thought of Giott pushed Orion’s smile off kilter into something more wry. “So, it all started when I met this dwarf in a bar…”

It took a while for Orion to tell the entire tale of helping an alcoholic dwarf take out the sin eater Sophrosyne, his visions of Lamitt’s past, and the crystal he found after Sophrosyne’s defeat. At times the story brought Ardbert to both laughter and tears, but at the end he looked wistful. “Strange that I should learn such things now, after she’s long gone. She was my best friend, the first to travel at my side and — ” his voice cutoff. Staring off into the distance, he absentmindedly rubbed his hand over where his breastplate still shielded his unbeating heart.

Silence hung heavy in the stagnant, humid air, only broken by the susurration of the Ondo’s prayers in the distance. Orion found himself thinking of his own lost companions, Minfilia’s smile, Moenbryda’s laugh, the way Haurchefant would sweep Kendra off her feet and bring a blush to her button nose, the fire of conviction in Ysayle’s eyes, and G’raha. Bright and curious and bold G’raha who had loved him. Who had essentially died, believing that love completely unrequited. He sighed heavily through his nose.

Ardbert shuffled closer to Orion’s side, the ephemeral sensation of his spiritual presence was like a campfire, seeping warmth into Orion’s bones. “I didn’t expect death to teach me so much,” Ardbert said, breaking their mutual melancholy silence. “About Lamitt, about Seto — about you. About the hope that lies at the heart of this world. I’ve never been one for idle chitchat, but if by some miracle I could see them all again, I doubt I would never stop talking.”

“It is the curse of those left behind to dwell on all the conversations left unsaid,” Orion said. “If I could — ” he cut himself off with another sigh, struggling to put into words the mixed feelings of grief, affection, and regret that gripped his throat whenever he looked up at the Crystal Tower. “I have lost my fair share of comrades in my travels. Each one’s absence aches differently, but the sharpest pain is the memory of a boy who loved me, and who I couldn’t love back. In idle moments, I catch myself wondering; would I have returned his affections if I knew how little time we had — he had? When I’m honest with myself I answer no. Not in the way he would have wanted. Not in a way that would have changed anything.”

Orion shifted to look down at Ardbert, meeting his eyes. “You loved Lamitt with all your heart in the way that you could. She knew that. It hurt, but you didn’t hurt her, Bear. You meant the world to her, even though she knew you would never look at her the way she wanted you to. She chose to stand at your side to the end because the way that you did love her was more than worth the pain.”

Still staring up into his face, Ardbert brushed his spectral fingers through Orion’s. It felt like the pins and needles of a limb falling asleep. “I’m grateful I got to bend your ear at least,” Ardbert said. “And just for that, I reckon I’ll stick with you.”

“Just for that?” Orion teased, hunting for flattery.

“Well, that and I’ve nothing better to do,” Ardbert rolled his eyes.

“I hate how you’re stuck like this,” Orion said, “but I’m selfishly glad to know you’ll be there at my side, whatever awaits us in the depths.”

“I’m here,” Ardbert said, “to the very end.”

I love love love ybtm(ibty)! The messiness of these literal school children cannot be overstated. We’ve got the very serious drama that comes with Nathan’s past and the world building and death, but it’s magnified by how most of the characters are at one of the most emotionally delicate time of their lifes. And the dsotm au lives rent free in my head. Nathan is such a character, and I was wondering what it would be like in Nathan in dsotm (or any AU where he survives Hogwarts) was transported back to before harry took over. Whether some magical potion caused him and his future self to swap places, meaning everyone knows this is a different Nathan, or he was put back in his younger body.

Ahhh thank you!! I’m glad it’s coming across that, other than Harry, all the main characters are literally such chaotic gremlin children. They’re smart little gremlins, but they’re still fourteen (and Orion is thirteen). They’re not the titans they are when they’re older, and they’ve got a long way to go behind they reach those levels.

DSOTM was such a fun little thought experiment haha - I had even started writing a bunch of drabbles for it, but I never got around to finishing them 😅 and if DSOTM!Nathan was transported back to the beginning of the ybtm timeline, I think the school would all collectively have a goddamn heart attack based on how different he was. It would be very similar to the reactions Harry received when he first rocked up 😂

This is the moment in the Peaceful Timeline where Oshern finally learns about Ymir's titan form. It's not my best work on Krita, but practice makes perfect! Here is the full Oshern arc: Part 16: The Oshern Arc

And here is that particular scene:

"Kill...me...if you must." Oshern's hand stopped when he heard Ymir speak.

"...I'm...monster....devil...demon," she continued, "murderer...I don't...deserve kindness...or...love...I deserve...death....but...sorry....Oshern...sorry..."

Oshern could see her body trembling. He could hear her trembling breath, but not once did she raise her head to face him. Oshern's hand slowly fell back to his side. The adult in him, the one that grew past the Eldian Empire, only remembered Ymir's kindness and patience. He remembered how much she loved her daughter, and how much Maria adored her. He remembered how Ymir constantly helped out wherever she can in the village. And no matter how often the village scorned or ridicule her family, not once did she use her power to harm or kill anyone. She was bowing before him, giving him permission to end her life!

Oshern looked down at his trembling hands. What...what was he supposed to do?! Should he listen to the logic of his father?! Should he listen to the kindness of his mother?! Oshern then remembered the two brothers, and how he decided to show them mercy. It saved all three of them, and it helped them build a better life. He did not contribute to the hatred in the world, and it brought him here. If he killed Ymir, he would no doubt be doing irreparable damage. He would leave Maria without a mother. He would leave Orion and Matthew without a daughter. He would be killed or hunted for the rest of his days. He would...he would destroy a family. And that was the last thing he wanted to do: he did not want to contribute to the hatred in the world.

Oshern slowly kneeled down in front of Ymir. "Ymir...can you please look at me?"

It felt so strange asking a powerful deity for permission to look at someone like him. She had the power to crush him. He couldn't help but think it to be so surreal. Oshern grew tense when she raised her head. He wasn't sure what he was going to be looking at, but...his heart stopped. Her face was covered in red markings that went down from her eyes to the bottom of her cheeks. Steam still arose from her body; he could feel the heat radiating off of her. But...her eyes never changed. Her beautiful grey eyes, filled to the brim with tears, still glistened as brightly as the first day they met all those years ago. She was still...the same person...that he fell in love with.

"You're..." Oshern couldn't find the words, "You're beautiful."

Ymir's eyes widened in shock, and her mouth hung open. Beautiful? Why would he call her that? She wasn't beautiful. She was a monster. A slave. Why would after knowing the truth, would he call her that? She shook her head and covered her eyes with her hands. No! No, that was wrong! This was wrong! There's no way that this could be real!

"No..." Ymir's voice trembled, "No...not...not!" Her breath hitched in her throat, her lips trembled, and more tears fell. "Not!"

Oshern couldn't help but feel terrible for Ymir. What had she gone through, to make her not believe those words? He was expecting something cruel and heartless, but she was just as much of a victim as anyone else. Oshern raised both hands, and rested them on Ymir's cheeks. Ymir froze at the sensation of his touch, removing her hands from her face and staring at him. Oshern felt how hot her skin was to the touch. He felt the grooves of the markings in her skin. He felt her tears staining his hands.

"You are." Oshern leaned in close, confusing Ymir greatly. What...what was he doing? Ymir gasped as Oshern placed a small, feather-light kiss on her lips. He remained there, choosing not to pull away, but also giving Ymir enough room to move if need be. He didn't want to frighten her, but she needed to know how he felt. Ymir...couldn't comprehend. She...she was being kissed. Like...the others couples she saw. Not once has she been kissed. She'd never been kissed before. Now this man, who was hurt by her actions, not only called her beautiful, but was kissing her. This beautiful, kind-hearted man, was still choosing to show her love and affection.

Before Ymir could even consider reciprocating, Oshern released her lips and let her go. Oshern smiled at her, and Ymir raised her fingers to her lips, the burning and electrifying sensation still lingering. The tears started to even more now, and before Oshern could ask what was wrong, Ymir wrapped her arms around him and hugged him so fiercely. She sobbed in his shoulder, still trying to come up with words of apologies. Oshern only hugged her back in response, cradling her head and pulling her closer. He wasn't going to let her go. He wasn't.

How are you doing?

Sleepy, but pretty good. Laid in bed for hours and could not fall asleep at alllllllllllllll. I think I finally drifted off to dreamland somewhere around 4:00am. Maybe 3:30.

Woke up at 6:00am, got out of bed at 7:30am, took a shower, so that helped.

I've had two coffees, so not actually feeling the tiredness so much. I worked on Spark AU chapter five, and I worked on a future scene for Spark AU (maybe ch. 8?) I can't talk about yet-

Exchanged sillies with siblings, snuggled with my five-year-old sister, Aravis, and blasted "Orion's Return" on my speaker to the entire household because the Hearts of Titan fandom has a grip on my soul and won't let go.

I wanna make a fanfic about Kory's cat, Cornchip. XD

And also Orion whump. He's the "Second" of the Hearts of Titan fandom. Angsty potential, trauma boi. I loves him.

Allergies have been acting up a little bit, because that does happen around summertime, regrettably. Summer is my all-time favorite season though, and I'm not letting the mild sniffles allergies take my happiness away-

ò w ó

I wrote some good ol' torture scenes, as one does, because why not. Yes, there is a pun right in the middle of said torture scene, leemee 'lone-

Put a bun in my hair all by myself and definitely absolutely didn't cheat by ponytailing it first-

.......definitely.

Wore mismatched socks yesterday because silly, but today I match. They both are purple, so yey.

Played Mario Kart last night at 11:00pm with my Mom and I won both times because I'm good at steering apparently. We play the old, Super Nintendo version, not any of the newer deluxe ones. :3

I think that might be the gist of everything...

Thank you for the ask! :D

IT'S HEARTS OF TITAN FR!!!

Tl;dr to HoT: An animated web-series proof of concept currently in production.

Hearts of Titan is a sci-fi action-comedy in a modern 2000s setting. The story revolves around four young adults: Elias, Damien, Kory and Ryan. All but Ryan attend an ivy league school under the guise of an unknown scholarship. None of them expected the scholarship to entail using magic technology, meeting alien shapeshifters, or hunting down cybernetic criminals.

Website | TikTok | Youtube | Instagram | Twitter

Kappapon is currently in production of a short “Proof of Concept” to promote the eventual crowdfund for the project. With the help of an extended team, Hearts of Titan is producing a 1-minute animated trailer accompanied by a music video and additional content. AND ALOT MORE!

HoT oc!!

this character's name is Cassie (pronounced Casey), short for Cassiopeia. She is Orion's younger cousin

while Orion became a streamer, Cassie went into music. She often hosts raves but also does collaborations with streamers, like Orion

while Orion is a walking identity crisis and very weary of revealing his true form, Cassie is a lot less careful and often gets into spots of trouble as a result!

Tw Complicated Parent Child Relationships (perhaps neglect) and TW Sexual Assault mention. Please don't read if these trigger you!

In some versions of mythology, Maia (Hermes' mom) was a handmaiden for Artemis along with her six sisters. Zeus being Zeus fancied the oldest nymph daughter of Atlas and had his way with her when she tried to escape him in a cave. She was forced to leave Artemis' palace and employment because she had Hermes.

Something she despised because she wanted to stay with her sisters and Artemis. She loved that lifestyle. It was what she wanted. Except Zeus ruined that for her.

Maia was also fearful because of Hera's wrath towards her husband's mistresses and their families. Then Orion came knocking and started being inappropriate with her sisters and to some extent her. She didn't want to deal with another man like that.

Then some of Hermes' appearance and personality kept reminding her of Zeus and she didn't want to be a parent. She cared for the boy but she didn't love him. So, since she was no longer provided for by Artemis, she kept encouraging her eager child to keep working so that he could help support them and make her proud. Plus he didn't want to face the wrath of grumpy gods if he failed to deliver!

He was devoted to her and did just that. Giving Maia a much needed break from having to parent a rambunctious child. Then one night, the boy came back and said something that shook her to her core.

"I was in the mortal market today. I was picking up some biscuits for Lady Hestia and everyone else back at Olympus. And I saw Lady Artemis and Lord Apollo with their mom Leto. I was going to say hi to Lady Artemis for you but I never got the chance. Then their mom said that both of them, her children, were truly the most wonderous and magical things that could've ever happened to her. That their moon light and sunlight made her heart shine. That all mothers love their kids so much. Since I deliver stuff and you're my mom, would that mean that I'm your greatest gift? Or maybe someday I could be once I'm a powerful Olympian with domains and stuff?"

Maia was speechless and didn't know what to say. Her greatest 'gifts' had been her sisters and their sisterhood and the eternal youth, freedom, and respect she was afforded as a personal maiden of Artemis. While she didn't blame the boy for what happened, she didn't love him. He was the kid she babysat and cared a bit for. She didn't have titan of motherhood level feelings for him. So, she ultimately said someday once he was established as an Olympian, worthy, and accomplished of course. Her son still very much naïve when it came to relationships; agreed with her.

Years went by, Maia became a constellation in the sky with her sisters curtesy of Zeus and Artemis to escape Orion. Her son never knowing the wiser. Of course Zeus knew when she made her request but no one else did. She made sure of that. He was a good boy, but he wasn't what she wanted for herself. Now as a star she could be close to her sisters and Artemis. Free at last. It was better this way.

uncontrollable sobbing
