Astarion's dhampir daughter headcanon P.3

P.1 P.2 P.4

Ok, I will eventually write a fic about her but I am too embarassed about my writing XD

But Alethaine Ancunin has already occupied a big piece of my heart and mind

Masterlist

Headcanons

A talented necromancer, Alethaine has the darkest sense of humor on the Swords Coast

The first spell she learned was Fear - whispering the worst nightmares in her enemies' ears

As an elf and a dhampir, she possesses what people call "unnatural beauty," but she doesn't like to rely on her looks

People mostly assume she is an "elven maiden," but she likes to scare strangers away, demonstrating her fangs

"Yes, I am an elven maiden. But my dad is a vampire. Hope it won't be a problem?"

"I don't drink blood to survive, but I do enjoy the taste."

Tav taught her to survive in the wilderness for months, but, gods, does Alethaine love gowns, balls, and opulence

Astarion taught Alethaine Thieves Cant "just in case"

Some people, upon meeting Alethaine, assume she has some dark backstory and sorrowful childhood ("such a young woman and already a necromancer, she must have been through a lot")

She brushes off all the speculations. "Dad would braid my hair and Mum still calls me "kitten". I had a happy childhood."

Alethaine is disciplined - she has to control the bloodthirsty monster within

She failed once - when she was 17. Bloodthirst took upon her mind, and Alethaine killed two men. Drunk with blood, she wandered the wilderness for a few days until Astarion finally found her and managed to reach out for his daughter

Alethaine was scared and embarrassed - she felt she'd failed her parents, especially Astarion, who she always considered a noble man who never did a single bad thing in his life

Astarion never wanted to tell Alethaine about his past, but he eventually gave up and told her as much as possible

"See, princess, the position of the monster in this family is already taken"

Alethaine eventually left home to see the world. Astarion gave her a dagger as a parting gift. "I know you are more into magic tricks, but, princess, a dagger is a dagger"

Does someone need to raise the dead to interrogate them? "Pass me a shovel, handsome, you will get your answers in no time"

Alethaine's first love was an elf-bard. The bard composed a song about her, "The Girl Who Dances with the Dead"

Coz why not dance with the dead if you can?

Tagging, but don't feel pressured! (Also you do not have to make pretty pictures. Graphic Designer brain just took over and this happened.) @physicalvocalist, @sarenraegalpaladin, @vorpalbun, @captainqster, @leagor-majere, @sundered-souls, @ardberts, @hinganskies, @lilbittymonster, @janzoo

1. Harrowhark Nonagesimus - The Locked Tomb Trilogy

Harrow has true scrungly wet cat energy. I want to put her in one of those little backpacks with a window and carry her around in it for her enrichment. She's an absolute bitch. She is a pathetic little meow meow. She lobotomized herself to save the soul of the woman she refuses to admit she's in love with. She tried to kill a saint with soup made from her own bone marrow. She is a war crime. I like her so much!

2. Magneto - X-Men

He is the platonic ideal of my favorite trope, "Does all the wrong things for all the right reasons." Magneto has gone through the polar opposite of villain decay. The longer he exists, the longer the universe has to prove him increasingly correct on most things. All I can really say is, "Magneto was right."

3. Wei Wuxian - Mo Dao Zu Shi

Truly the most blorbo of all time. Are you also an ADHD burned out gifted and talented submissive brat with a praise kink? Boy howdy, do I have a character that you are going to imprint on like a baby goose! Wei Wuxian also has a hearty dose of, "Does all the wrong things for all the right reasons." Also like who multiclasses in wizard (specifically necromancer) and bard? This fucking guy apparently.

4. Hythlodaeus - Final Fantasy 14

I am so normal about Hythlodaeus, I made an entire AU around him. That is a reasonable thing to do about a character that you like a normal amount, right? The idealized lost love, trapped in amber, untouchable but also incorruptible by the sands of time that keep eroding the edges of your soul. And then they gave him lavender dead anime mom hair!

5. Varric Tethras - Dragon Age

I literally have a semi-viral post about how much this character has consumed my thoughts. Rule Number 1 of Dragon Age: Varric lies. He's a charming scoundrel. He's loyal to a fault. He knows everything worth knowing about Kirkwall. And he's a dirty fucking liar. The only reason Varric isn't romanceable in DA2 is that no other romantic interest would get any attention if Varric was on the table. I desire him carnally.

6. Temeraire - Temeraire

My most precious and smartest boy! I adore Temeraire so much. Swear to god, I did not read the Temeraire books before creating Orion as a character, but the parallels are so strong, you would think I had! He's a bookworm, a little awkward but full of opinions, and he has an unwavering moral compass. Temeraire will forever be one of my favorite dragon characters.

7. Jaina Solo - Star Wars Legends

I will never forget what Disney took from me. As a weird, nerdy girl who was also kind of a guy growing up, Jaina meant so much to me. She was an active participant in the stories she was in. She was an ace pilot, a skilled mechanic, and a Jedi to boot. She had her dad's sense of humor and her mom's moral certainty. I thought she was the coolest. Still do.

8. Ansur - Baldur's Gate 3

Ansur! My beloved! If you had told me that the character I would be most obsessed with from BG3 would be an undead bronze dragon who you don't even know about until the third act -- actually, no that checks out. He was so in love, and so loyal, and so bitter at Balduron for embracing his corruption! And that reveal! All the build-up, only to find his bones and then wham! the entire narrative of the Emperor gets turned on its head. I still get chills. Also, they were absolutely fucking.

9. Viktor - Arcane

Listen, as a disabled, obsessive nerd with too much to do and not enough time to do it all in, Viktor is my gender. I love just about everything about Arcane, but Viktor's storyline is my favorite part. I, for one, am very excited to watch his fall from grace and further corruption. I have already forgiven all of his atrocities. I do not care. He's babygirl.

10. Clark Kent - DC

You thought I was going to say Jason or Dick for a DC character didn't you? (Or even Roy!) Those would all have been very reasonable expectations. I am pretty obsessed with all of them. However, Clark Kent is a very special character to me, and yes I specifically am focusing on the Clark persona and not the Supes persona. Yeah, they are ultimately the same guy, but I much prefer Superman stories grounded in his Clark Kent identity. Superman is at his best when he is attached to the mundane world by things like his job, his family, and his love for Lois. (Lois/Clark is the ultimate het ship. I will not be taking questions on this. It just is.) Clark is essentially a demigod, and yet he chooses to spend his time loving people and living as one of them, and I think that's really fucking cool.

RULES: post 5 songs associated with your OCs and 4 outfits they'd wear

i saw @bhaalsdeepbat doing the tag game and i wanna make one too i hope you dont mind 👉👈

huehuehue this is Chevrotain, my durge bard

they got fucking wormed half way through the game and became hard to look at so i changed their hair then they look half-decent (not as good looking as the default but still)

im gonna be sorta infodumping about their lore bc im insane for them

1. Bloody! Bloody! - Junie & TheHutFriends

so in my canon Chevrotain isnt the dark urge like the origin character but another bhaalspawn, theyre still a bhaalspawn though so their gameplay is still a durge playthrough and this song is so accurate to durge's storyline?? like

Ain't it funny how I scare myself sometimes

..You take his hand quite literally..

..I probably shouldn't have said that..

They said, the lady in red / Bloody! Bloody!

Durge being literally shocked at kicking the squirrel involuntarily?? / the Gale incident / durge saying freakish shit most of the time / literally Orin

this song is my number one go to when i think of Chevrotain 😭

2. Abbey - Mitski

i mentioned that Chevrotain is a cannibal 🥺 its funny bc they dont have any sense of taste, they also have a huge identity crisis thanks to Bhaal whispering to them on their "role" and they whole "you were created bc blah blah blah"

I am hungry I have been hungry I was born hungry What do I need? I am something I have been something I was born something What could I be?

the theme i like to go with them is "starvation", like being starved of fatherly love from Bhaal, being starved of their own identity, being starved of their own mind, being starved of a home.. so this song fits into it SO PERFECTLY

3. Our Word - 36 Questions, Jessie Shelton

GAH this song is so cool from the coolest musical i know (i only know like 6 musicals 🙃), its literally a musical podcast?? so cool.

anyways Chevrotain is a bard right, they usually manipulate people with their words, a lot of deception and persuasion bonuses, so they are a very deceitful and as a result they are a very distrusting person.

the song is about a girl who was raised to be a compulsive liar - when she accidentally broke her dad's ship in a bottle - her mom told her to lie to get out of trouble and it worked, so she kept lying and lying and lying to get herself out of situations.

the song ends with a near death experience, but all she can think in her dying moments is how her parents are going to lie about her existence just to avoid the hassle of dealing with her death.

And it's our word Yes, our word It's our word Yes, our word Against theirs

the thing about Chevrotain is that they cannot trust easily - and what they fear the most is that theyd be tricked the same way theyve been tricking others - its a constant for them and this song embodies it perfectly (･ω･)b

4. Animal Cannibal - Possibly in Michigan, Karen Skladany

haha cannibal mention

iconic song tbh, this one isnt as intricately tied to Chevrotain's character quirks in my mind as the others and its more of their whole vibe and sthick

Who knows how some people turn to strange ones Is it up to me to make them into dead ones? (Here we go again) I bite at the hand that feeds me Slap at the face that eats me Some kind of animal cannibal (Animal? Cannibal)

the tricking people into thinking theyre an unassuming bard even though theyre an experienced necromancer

and that they rebel against Bhaal pretty aggressively (well, as aggressive as you can when youre going against your literal God father without being punished by death 💀) such as never calling Bhaal as "father" pre-amnesia

5. The Milk Carton - Madilyn Mei

have i ever mentioned here that Chevrotain fell into the Feywild when they were around 9?

they were following a grinning cat named 'Alice Alice van Malice' who later became their guardian because fucking Ethel spotted baby Tain, took them in bc she realize that a bhaalspawn would make a strong hagspawn, since Alice didnt want to be responsible for a horrific fate of a child he decided to keep watch of them 😭

so this song is more to baby Tain's perspective, that they are now living in a stinky swamp in the Feywild and sleeping on a cold slab of stone instead of the cozy foster home they were in before..

I think I really miss my bed Oh when, oh when will the nightmare end? I had it good, I had it good And yet I left and can't retrace my steps Think I forgot a couple things My brain is still at home (Stop telling me all about your problems)

..but hey, at least theyre not dead!

Outfits/Style

Chevrotain's style is called classy and youthful in the DnD universe and timeline, but in todays world we call it grandmacore ❤

ok well it has a prince-like flare to it, the embroidery would be all silver bc one thing about Chevrotain is that theyre good at commiting to the bit, also the clothes beinf airy, flowy and puffy is important bc they dont like their clothes being skin tight bc they get uncomfortable easy.

its all billowy blouse + black pants combo bc its a classic and i love it SO MUCH, i eat this combo all the time everytime

im too shy to tag anyone else for this akdnsjnd anyone who wants to join in from seeing this post.. please tag me in it bc im nosy and i want to see ur Tav/Durge :3

[criffyzou]

More random D&D transposition because overthinking things is my favorite hobby. All 3 of my Thedas girls conveniently fit into my fav d&d class, ranger.

Tini Brosca (legionnaire scout/assassin): Hill dwarf Monster Slayer Ranger I love tanky, warrior-like rogues; legionnaire scout is my fav for that reason. Monster slayer does not exactly scream tanky rogue, but it has the magic defense and wardenish vibes.

Emmanuelle Hawke (shadow/assassin): Human Fey Wanderer Ranger Hawke has the shadow spec because Isabela already had duelist. My fav aspect of it was the misdirection and confounding; fey wanderer has that plus purple Hawke energy.

Sheana Lavellan (assassin): Wood elf Horizon Walker Ranger Sharing a specialization with companions was my least favorite part of DA:I, but assassin was alright. Horizon Walker has good Inquisitor vibes, with portals instead of rifts.

And now all companions with no explanation whatsoever:

Leliana (bard/shadow): Human College of Whispers Bard

Alistair (templar/guardian): Human Oath of the Watchers Paladin

Morrigan (shapeshifter/blood mage): Human Circle of the Spores Druid

Zevran (assassin/duelist): Wood elf Assassin Rogue

Sten (reaver): Goliath Path of the Zealot Barbarian

Wynne (spirit healer): Human Divine Soul Sorcerer

Shale (no spec): Warforged Rune Knight Fighter

Oghren (berserker/champion): Hill dwarf Way of the Drunken Master Monk

Velanna (keeper/shapeshifter): Wood elf Circle of the Land Druid

Sigrun (legionnaire scout/shadow): Hill dwarf Phantom Rogue

Nathaniel (assassin/ranger): Human Hunter Ranger

Justice (spirit warrior/guardian): Scourge aasimar Oath of Vengeance Paladin

Anders (spirit healer/battlemage): Human Celestial Warlock

Fenris (spirit warrior): Drow Psi Warrior Fighter

Isabela (duelist): Human Swashbuckler Rogue

Aveline (guardian): Human Oath of the Crown Paladin

Merrill (blood mage/keeper): Wood elf Archfey Warlock

Bethany (force mage): Human Graviturgy School Wizard

Sebastian (shadow?): Human War Domain Cleric

Varric (artificer): Hill dwarf College of Lore Bard

Dorian (necromancer): Human Necromancy School Wizard

Sera (tempest): Wood elf Swarmkeeper Ranger

Solas (force rift mage): High elf Aberrant Mind Sorcerer

Iron Bull (reaver): Goliath Path of the Berserker Barbarian

Vivienne (knight enchanter): Human Bladesinger Wizard

Cassandra (templar): Human Order Domain Cleric

Blackwall (champion): Human Banneret Fighter

Cole (assassin): Changeling Way of the Shadow Monk

Bonus round !

Ariane (champion): Wood elf College of Valor Bard

Finn (spirit healer): Human Knowledge Domain Cleric

Jerrik (duelist/ranger): Hill dwarf Beast Master Ranger

Brogan (reaver/berserker): Hill dwarf Path of the Battlerager Barbarian

Tallis (assassin): Wood elf ??

Rules were: max 3 characters of the same class (not counting my 3 ranger gals), every class has to be there at least once, and it has to be thematically coherent with my own lore builds. I didn't do multiclass as it is more fun to me to integrate the different themes of a build into one (1) subclass but, mechanically, some should put levels elsewhere. I will not be taking criticism at this time for my decision to make the reavers barbarians instead of the berserkers. I know I am right.

Now I know I said no explanation but I can't resist rambling about characters sharing a main spec in Dragon Age but not a D&D class:

Force mage: Bethany & Solas Rift mage is just reflavored force mage, but in Solas' case I wanted to imply that something sinister was afoot, even if some force mage essence was lost in the process. It does tie back to force mages using their mind as a weapon though.

Assassin rogue: Zevran, Nathaniel & Cole This one is very straightforward in the ways they differ: Zevran is the only trained assassin, Cole hides in the shadows, and Nathaniel is a darkspawn killer.

Spirit Healer mage: Wynne, Finn & Anders Despite Wynne technically being possessed, her spirit is not a presence she feels, more like an abstract protection; Finn is a book nerd; Anders is in a committed relationship.

[unsat-and-strange]

finished an old sketchbook (which I didn't know was possible????) but anyways y'all get a doodle dump here enjoy (sorry some are sideways my phone is being big dumb)

very brief explanations under the cut

1- character design stuff for an apocalypse-ish character i made. his name is dev and I love him :) he likes maps and starting fights and he transed his gemder

2- random Fullmetal alchemist doodles. I truly believe alphonse would just.... pick people up. also winry has a trash sleep schedule.

3- a dnd character idea! snake cowboy bard names moke, he left home to try and save up for a ranch of his own and he's refusing to admit he's addicted to adventuring.

4- dnd doodles from a few sessions ago. there uh there were some events. I totally didn't jump into the ocean to avoid my party members pestering me for killing my ex-bestie who turned evil. and like I'm not saying she deserved it but she also was 100% down for killing a kid in cold blood and she got me exiled. oh and turning people into weird mind controlled spike monsters. that too.

5- I had this idea for a magical girl necromancer. she's super sweet and innocent but she also raises the dead. she probably has zombie helpers to carry her school books.

6- more session doodles. most the magnus archives honestly. there's a handful of tims (stoker and gunpowder variants) (I do think tma Tim and mechs Tim would be cool with each other. or maybe just instantly kill each other) and some of the distortion and some other random stuff. I really enjoy drawing the distortion. I think maybe the hair is really fun, or the fucked up hands.

7- most recent session doodles. mostly npcs, there's one family that has a near monopoly on the town were in, apparently the matriarch had a very active social life. and by that I mean the dwarf who runs the armory and the human who runs the tavern and the driver who runs the tailor shop are all siblings. also me and another party member have accidentally started a war for the driders heart. (IM GOING TO WIN) (FLORA CHOOSE ME PLEASE) is it weird my first experience with romance is a character played by me and a completely fictional npc

8- old design. I have this tattooed now

9- random woods character. I don't know if I ever figured out their name. basic idea is they were a very young immortal when the world ended so now centuries later they just wander through the woods that have reclaimed the planet. every so often these weird extra dimensional shepherd things stop by to check in. they actually stop by earth a lot more often than they used to now that they know this person is here, they were very surprised to find out humanity had been born and died within the span of two visits. bit of dialogue I thought up once: "so young one, are you the first of your kind?" "actually I think I'm the last."

10- old inktober drawing from like 2022 that I never actually finished. or was it 2021.... idk whatever the prompt was bouquet and kaz found inej some flowers. god I still really like this drawing actually. I should redraw it in such a way I'm not scared of ruining it by finishing it

[dogt3eeth]

extra stuff below :3

This is Dirge, my first Dark Urge character! His name used to be a good joke back when he was a Bard, but I learned I hated playing Bards, so he became a Paladin with a Vengeance oath. He's a very quiet brooding man who is trying his hardest to fight back against his urges. He tries his hardest to be a good person but can be easily swayed if his companions are not close by to help him keep on the right track. When he remembers Orin he doesn't hate her for trying to kill him, but honestly, misses her very deeply. He's romancing both Wyll and Astarion!

Jeremy was actually the first ever Tav I played as! And he has a twin brother! Which means he has two versions. One is where he is a Warlock that tries to be good and always backfiring, leading to him eventually trying (and failing) to take over the world. On the other he is a Rogue who tries to ham up being a good guy to hit on Wyll, leading to him Actually being good. Him and his brother r street rats but Jeremy craves to one day be rich, covering himself in fake gold n jewelry to make himself feel better. He's very flirty and self assured and is a unabashed nerd if given the chance. He's romancing Wyll (and in his evil run, failing hardcore to do so)

Carmen is a Bard Harpy who has a special amulet that allows her to take on a non-monster appearance :3. I don't like conforming to dnd lore so this was my one time self indulgence to do what I want. She pretends to be very innocent and sweet but really she's a party girl who uses her harpy sing magic to get away with stuff, and she Loves to adventure. She is very secretive about being a harpy because she fears others would try to kill her if they found out. She is romancing Gale!

Mania is my other Dark urge character, who is a wizard necromancer! She indulges in every urge she's ever had and finds a /great/ deal of joy in her life. She killed and ate Halsin, she killed the entire druid grove and tieflings inside, and continues to haunt every npcs life because she is soooo quick to react poorly. Just intensely and Deeply fucked up. Despite this she has a weird caring for her companions and is the #1 enabler of all time. The only one who still can't enjoy her presence is Gale, who thinks everyone is fucking crazy trusting her, and only keeps with the group because Mania has kept them safe up until this point. She fully intends to take over the world :3. She is romancing Shadowheart (selunite, hilariously, bc Mania let Shart choose for herself) and Minthara. Mania and Shadowheart r about to be doomed yuri, dude.

All of my baldurs gate 3 OCS, par the oc that I made AFTER I started this project LOL. This took me around 19 hours? With a big month gap in between to take a break.

I'll add closeups in the rb, plus drop stuff abt my ocs :3

(Rbs>likes pls n thx)

[notsecretlyarainbow]

All my (current) Baldur's Gate 3 tavs

just a little compiled list 🙃 buckle in because theres so many :))))))))))))) 1. Cormac - blue Dragonborn Sorcerer

Cormac is very levelheaded, rational, and empathetic. He was on his own for a long time before the nautiloid, so traveling with so many partners came as a bit of a shock to him, but he enjoyed the company. He also fell in love with Karlach, but she did not fall in love with him. He followed her to the hells anyway. [Cormac is the only playthrough I have finished]

2. Gun - Half elf monk

Gun is a boss bitch. She takes no shit, she leaves no witnesses. She is 6 foot 5 and will throat punch you if you so much as step on her toes. Her party members often have to keep her anger issues in check.

3. Hurgox - black dragonborn sorcerer

Hurgox is very quiet, studious, and surprisingly timid for a man of such stature. He prefers being a helper to the party rather than the main event.

4. Lake - Githyanki Bard

Lake travels with his twin sister Tuwile (@transtrife) and his lover Gale. He did not grow up in a Creche, and thus is not as cut-throat as most Gith are. Instead, he is very kind, sometimes a bit of a pushover, and enjoys making people smile much more than making them bleed. He plays the flute and the lute !

5. Laya - Drow Monk

Laya is That Girl. She is That Bitch. She is fearless and tough, and knows how to throw a punch without breaking her nails. Her and Karlach are the power couple from Hell.

6. Magnolia - Wood elf Ranger

Magnolia is a transgirl who just wants to get this damn worm out of her head and get back to her dogs. Previously, she lived in the woods with her animals and sold pelts for a living. This whole "worms rotting your brain" thing is so over her head.

7. Melwas - Tiefling wizard

Melwas is a necromancer fuckboy. He does not always make the right decisions, and his eyes linger a bit too long on a certain vampire, but he's doing his best. He enjoys making flutes and such out bones.

8. Ozris - Tiefling Cleric

Ozris is babygirl. He is soft, sweet, shy, and completely overwhelmed by everything happening to him. Somehow along the way, Astarion took a liking to the little peach (probably hoping he could corrupt the pure little soul). Ozris is also poly and soon to be in the middle of a Halsin-Astarion sandwich. Little gay boy with an angel and a devil on either side.

9. Rayelle - half elf paladin

Rayelle is a boss bitch. She curbstomps anyone in her way and puffs her chest up to protect her cleric gf Shadowheart. She travels with her half brother, Faust (a durge), and tries to keep him out of trouble. But also... she doesn't have the BEST moral compass herself. It's okay though, because Halsin will straighten her out.

10. Renzo - half orc fighter

NGL, Renzo is not fleshed out in the slightest. All I know about this man is that he is gentler than he looks.

[crowberri]

[OC] Mint slays in every aesthetic ever <3

context for the 3rd image: both @autumn-sweet-fae and i are dnd nerds and so after Everything everyone sit together and play a game of dnd (except for blaze for like a year or so bc he dipped to work at as an international police to avoid mint like the coward he is). In the past, Drayden used to DM for the boys and the two played twin clerics of the Mighty Thomarus the God of Safe Travels, Engineering and Invention. And so in the present, Drayden DMs again while Ingo gets to refresh his memories on the rules, and later he takes over the DM’s seat✨ Ingo is the type of DM to voice act all the NPCs but his face is entirely straight (so imagine Ingo with his old man frown going “Thank you so much for saving my partners from those terrible terrible people…” in like, a little girls voice) At the table were Akari, Iris, Emmet, Mint and Lady Sneasler with Akane (Akari’s Zoroark, we changed it bc it fits more than Marshmallow) as translator. Chandelure is the mood light <3

also, there are modules written based on each different region, and cameo gym leaders and champions. So when Akari returns from Hisui there is definitely a module written based on her adventures, and they are all super hyped to try that one out.

So, back to Mint; They would totally play a bard. College of tragedy for the extra dramatic effect, paired with a Very Tragic backstory: parents were killed in this horrible accident that was in some ironic way their own fault, as well as a love that was never meant to be (NPC cleArly modeled after blaze). Later, when Blaze joins the game, Mint totally forgot about that part until the NPC shows up again and both are equally embarrassed about it. When asked if they could retcon that part out of the story Ingo just goes “haha, no :)” and the twins totally lean into the whole conflict with the NPC lol

As for Blaze, he’d be the type to lean into the combat and tactics of the game unlike Mint, so wizard would fit him in that regard ✨ (complicated spells go brrrr) necromancers plays into his aesthetic and so he’d pair it up with flowers. ((maybe he gets to play the NPC for a lovers to enemies to lovers story hMM

Anyways this was a long ramble about a tiny side section of the AU ahaha (sorry not sorry <3

[mccoyquialisms]

ME AT THE LAST 2 VOX MACHINA EPISODES

listen I just have to write out my feelings. spoilers, obviously

God I’m so happy Pike is back, she brings such (no pun intended) light to the party. also, she’s a fucking bruiser?!?!? I had no idea clerics kicked so much ass holy shit. when she was fighting delilah and went “my turn” mWUAH chef’s kiss I love you ma’am marry me

KEYLETH MY BELOVED. as soon as Gilmore mentioned that a bright ass sun was needed to kill vampires I KNEW it was my girl’s time to shine!! that spell looked so cool!

straight up did not expect her to take that bullet for vex but damn holy shit. like, I’m fairly certain they all live until at least the last part of the campaign but it is still painful in the moment. yes I have read the spoilers about [redacted] but I don’t know ALL the specifics let me live in peace

didn’t realize non-druids could use plant magic??? is this bending the rules a bit?? not like I care if it is lmao, it was a sweet moment. I also thought it was cool to show how scanlan’s bard magic can actually work, as that’s the most unclear to me as a class

speaking of that, when scanlan was able to keep bigsby’s hand up for longer by playing heavy metal? hilarious. no idea how the mechanics actually played out in the original campaign but I can’t help but imagine it was bending the rules a bit but the DM essentially went “I’ll allow it because it's sick”

special shout out to the animators these last 3 episodes because HOLY SHIT. that pike/sylas fight??? the FIRE DEMON??? my jaw was on the FLOOR y’all

speaking of fire demon HOLY SHIT EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT. percy trying to kill himself to protect his friends....”darling, take the mask off” [cut to percy openingly sobbing through the control because he doesn’t want to hurt vex]...when all their names kept appearing on the barrels...him SHOOTING HIS OWN HAND OFF? (ngl it’s not clear in my mind if that’s what helped him break the demon’s control or just him refusing to follow through with the revenge...?) goddamn this sad fancy boy has got me good. I LOVE him

also, ngl I cheered when cassandra killed delilah. like thank fuck THAT loose end won’t be back to bite them later (I hope???? with necromancers who tf knows)

Keyleth having a crush on both twins? delightful, exquisite, I will eat this up with a fucking spoon. mostly because how could she not? same boat over here.

for the last minute of the show I literally sat there with my hand over my mouth like a dramatic cartoon

FOUR DRAGONS??!??! FOUR??!!!? they could BARELY deal with one, they’re all gonna fucking die

[sagetsukimura]

Wait, girl in the water dead?

Nope, he just realized what he said was NOT cool.

Apple is back!

Dancing fairy? Like Apple Girl?

[destinyapostasy]

can you tell us more about your rp characters? Maybe more about Ivy like if shes single? 👀

omg. bless your heart anon. I hope you’re ready because I’m about to explode all over your dash!

Under a cut for lots of images:

Ivy Rothwater | Human Cleric | Lawful Good 

Ivy is a noblewoman who is on a Very Important holy quest (that she got in a dream, as most holy quest do) that she believes to be a direct vision from her Goddess Varesta who she has impure thoughts about. She travels with 3 retainers who take care of all the menial tasks that come with roughing it, until she meets her current adventuring group after being thrown in a cart for sale with them. 

Most of her group doesn’t really like her so far, probably due to the fact she has shoved her holy symbol into many of their faces to talk about Varesta’s glory and isolates herself from the campfire chats. She has suffered a lot of set backs in the campaign so far (including nearly dying after trying to use Turn Undead on Death’s son), so maybe they’re starting to feel sorry for her. 

She’s a Light Domain Cleric so a lot of her spells are based around light and fire and banishing darkness, with some of the spirit weapon/guardians thrown in (that I can’t wait to try out >:3c) 

She’s a messy drunk, has kissed the ranger’s snake on the mouth and has to be a Big Girl now that her retainers have refused to travel further on her current quest. And she is not single she is filled with the holy love of her goddess she has no time for romance!!! Maybe if some other fine lady catches her attention, but they gotta work hard! She’s rich, you know. 

Jazdia “Jaz” Kovarski | Ventrue| The Unaligned 

Jaz is kind of becoming my favorite RP character. Except the part where my group is forcing me to speak a Russian accent for her. 

She was embraced in the 70′s and never really lost that fashion sense. She has been isolated from most of Kindred society for the last 20-30 years and is only recently mingling back into it, having just gone to a big Sabbat party to brush shoulders with Seattle’s vampire elite. She sadly didn’t do much except fail most of her domination rolls and get man-splained by a noseferatu douchebag. And ruin a bed with the giant gangrel man she’s currently enthralling.

She’s on the nice side for an undead person, but i gave her one dot in composure so she is constantly losing her shit at the smallest thing. Bad temper on this one. She’s used to ordering people around and making them do things for her, so when they don’t do it its just??? SO RUDE??? 

She’s the coterie’s resident “nerd girl” so if you need research for religion, the occult, cryptology, she’s your gal. Just don’t ask where she learned all of this 🤔

Ravenna | Dwarf Wizard | Chaotic Neutral

Mom Dwarf and aspiring Necromancer. Working hard to raise her first undead! Run’s a fortune telling/speaking for the dead business out of her little shop that might be a bit of a con job. 

I don’t have a lot more for her atm, Some of her backstory is spoilers for my group, and the game is currently on hiatus. Hope to jump back in with her soon!

Unnamed Gnome Barbarian | Chaotic Neutral

Her game isn’t starting until after the new year, so I got nothing for her yet! Not even a name! Other than her stats (except strength) are fucking awful! 

Valda | Tiefling Rogue/Bard | Chaotic Neutral (seeing a pattern here)

Valda is a retired character from a several year campaign I played with friends, but she was my first dnd and role playing character and the first time I got to watch a character grow over the course of the game. 

She started out as one of those quiet bookish characters but kind of slowly morphed into a paranoid conspiracy theorist who set bobby traps around her own room. She had a family curse that prevented her from utilizing magic (as far as she knew, she never considered her bard abilities “magic”) and in one of our last sessions found out she was a secret Tiefling princess! Also she developed a  permanent, crippling fear of bears to the point where she was convinced anything could be a bear in disguise thanks to a critical fail on an investigation roll. 

One time she ended up jumping into a giant, several miles deep hole (because I didn’t know it was like…a big hole. And didn’t heed the DM’s “Do you really want to jump in the hole???”) and fell into an underground lake of honey, and then got mind controlled a bit by the Queen bee person that lived there. It was a good time!

My own speculation, subject to change in the future, from left to right:

1. Travis- Tiefling Warlock- Everyone is saying this is Tal, and while that’s totally plausible, I actually stand by the fact that this is Travis. I was also briefly thinking this was Sam in an attempt to have him playing a more serious character, but more on that later. I don’t think Tal would play a tiefling in this campaign, they’re generally too edgy, and Tal said he wanted to try something new. Travis on the other hand, totally wants to play a smart character, that’s just a fact. First off, tieflings automatically get a few cantrips, so already he’s handling spells which is different than before, and since I’m pretty sure that baby’s a warlock or paladin, I’m more tempted to go with warlock because I can see Travis playing an almost Percy-esque character this time around, an egg head with issues, which hypes me up.

2. Marisha- Human Monk- My first reaction to this was Laura, honestly, cuz I felt Laura trying a more physical class would be a cool change and also I wanted to see her taking on a Ray from Star Wars type character, but the more I thought about it, the more likely it was that this is actually Marisha. Marish is a very “Let’s fuckin’ go!” type player, quick to action, excitable and powerful. I think monk would be super cool to see Marisha explore. I myself am not very familiar with monk mechanics, as my least favorite of the classes, but I love the idea of Marisha playing this rough and tumble, knock me down get back up again type character, and I also like the idea of Marisha playing a semi religious character.  I also bounced Ashley around in this spot because of reasons I’ll get to later. 

3. Sam- Human Fighter-  Okay, when thinking about this one, I at first was approaching this like Sam was making the character, and I thought he’d want to maybe play something a little more serious, and I automatically went to the tiefling on the far left. Then, people began saying he was the small one, which also makes sense, he likes being small, but then I remembered a crucial detail. Sam isn’t making the character, Liam is. I actually saw a post on here, I cannot take credit for this viewpoint, but I don’t remember who gave me the idea, but it said that since last time Liam gave Sam the “lamest” combo, this time around, its likely he’ll try to theme it like that again and give him the most “boring” combo. It seems everyone and their mother is playing a human fighter and it would be interesting to see what Sam does with something so generic. Could also be a paladin or half- orc (cuz its mega tall and idk I could just also see paladin), but then that doesn’t really support the “boring” theory.

4. Liam- Human Bard- First things first, I automatically thought Liam when I came to this one, the outline looks so much like him in my opinion, but I’ll break down better reasoning for this one. First, evidence for the bard, you can see the tip of an instrument sticking out from the person’s back, and the boots just remind me of a bard. Now, I also think this is Liam for a better reason. I personally think Liam just wants to play something light and funny. No Raven Queen, no impending time clock, just song parodies and dick jokes. Also, I think since he told Sam to play a bard, he wants to give it a try now. Could also be a half- orc, giving another look at the ear areas, but that I feel is unlikely. As someone who plays a human bard, I’m obviously super excited for this one, oh my gosh I’m shaking just thinking about it.

5. Taliesin- Kobold Rogue- This one actually has some good reasoning behind it. Taliesin has gone on record saying he wants to play something totally different this time around, and I think this would be a really cool combo in order to do so. Taliesin also stated in the PAX Unplugged interview that his character would be the most likely to use the cantrip “massage”, which I feel just fits for this little monster type character. The other option for race is halfling, but I feel like Tal of all people would probably be the one to just play the out there member of this party, I feel like he’ll continue to play with races or classes outside the core PHB and try something weird and see what happens. (Also, I’ve been imagining him playing a small, weasely rat of a character for months now and it’s all I want)

6. Laura- Tiefling Cleric- So first off, Laura had talked about wanting to play a cleric before, which is mega exciting, because I honestly think she’ll make such a good healer, she has such good group instincts. This character is like a weird mix of Zhara and Lyra and I really am excited for her design. I remember Laura absolutely falling in love with Zhara and tieflings, so I can see her using one now, and I feel like Laura’s Kobalds and Catacombs character was a bit of a trial run for this one’s personality. I like the idea of this character being like a “you are more than your blood” type character and totally defying all tiefling stereotypes and becoming a sweetie pie cleric 

7. Ashley- Elf Barbarian- I’ve been bouncing back and forth on this one all night, and I’m still not totally 100% on this one, but hear me out. For player, it could be any of the girls. St first I felt Marisha cuz it looked vaguely like her and I had this idea of her playing a caster to say "Fuck you" to all her haters, however you'll see in a moment why I changed who was playing this character once I changed my idea of which class the character was. For race, it could really be anything, I just feel like she has an elven body type. For class, it could also be anything. I at first was bouncing around some kind of caster, then someone brought up barbarian, druid and ranger came up, necromancer was the one I found super likely, but the one I’m going with is barbarian for one reason. Ashley always wanted Pike to be physically stronger. This is the reason I actually toyed around with Ash being the monk for a little while, because she always wanted Pike to be physically strong. She was always saying she wanted Pike to be a “monstah”, and now she gets the chance to be. 

Sidenote: This actually was taking into account that some of the cast may play other genders,  I just matched the characters with what I felt best fit and it just so happened all the characters seem to present themselves in correspondence with the stereotypical body language of the gender said players identify as. Trust me, I play guys all the time in dnd, I totally understand playing as other genders, I just feel these fit the best for each person.

Thanks to @lupinsfurrylittleproblem for helping me talk through this list!

Blood and Bones - Chapter 3

Pairing: Samifer

Summary: When people on the Winchester lands vanish, including Dean, Sam thinks the necromancer who’s living near by in a tower is to blame.

Warnings: Fantasy AU, Violence, Blood Magic (as in people cut themselves and others to get blood for spells), Knight!Sam, Necromancer!Lucifer, Blood Mage!Lucifer, Undead, Questionable morals, Truth Spells, Lucifer’s POV in this chapter

Notes: Thanks to my beta readers @coplins, and @lucibae-is-dancing-in-hell. The whole story was inspired by @brieflymaximumprincess. And @askatosch drew super awesome art for this chapter. You can look at it here.

Read it on AO3

Usually, ruining knights was fun. But usually they knocked on Lucifer’s door all high and mighty and informed him that bards would sing songs about how they were going to defeat him. He enjoyed making them bleed until even the last trace of arrogance was gone. Killing them afterwards was mostly making the garbage take out itself. Some of them he had even kept around for a while. Someone had to dig a new waste dump now and then after all.

Sam had been fun in a different way. It had been refreshing to get more than a ‘You will not live to regret this, abomination!’ out of an adversary. It had been nice to talk to someone who was smart, actually had a sense of humor and at least some moral flexibility. Trying to see how much darkness Sam carried in him, trying to see how much of it Lucifer could coax out had become a fascinating game. And of course it helped that Sam was handsome, and the fact that he was actually interested in Lucifer had made his usual flirting that he mostly did to keep his opponents off-balance all the more rewarding. Especially when the reward took the form of a kiss.

Which all led to the fact that making Sam bleed didn’t promise to be much fun at all. Even though he definitely deserved it for his foolish self-sacrifice idea. Really? What kind of brother was worth that? And how had Lucifer managed to become attached to someone that stupidly heroic in such a short amount of time? He really should know better.

Well, at least the whole situation had an upside. Said upside dropped his shirt right this minute and was standing in front of Lucifer just in his pants now. Lucifer allowed his gaze to drift over Sam’s tanned skin for a moment, watching the other man’s face out of the corner of his eye. Sam protested constantly, since the truth spell was lifted, but he still seemed to preen a bit under Lucifer’s attention. Prideful, gorgeous thing. Lucifer so hoped he wouldn’t break during the ritual. He would sure look pretty bloody, but only half as pretty without the sparks in his eyes.

“Do you want to just stare all day or are you going to tell me where you want me?” Sam asked. Yes, exactly those sparks.

Lucifer had used the time Sam had spent undressing to dismiss Meg and draw a ritual circle on the stone floor right in front of Dean Winchester’s currently lifeless form, a mix of intricate designs he knew by heart. He pointed at the middle of the circle. “Last chance to back out, Sammy.”

Sam threw him a defiant look and stepped inside the circle. Of course he did.

Fine. If he really wanted to do this, they would. But Lucifer wasn’t going to sugar coat anything for him. “You’ll not be able to stand, when I’m done with you. Better get down right away.”

Sam glared at him, but dropped to his knees. One had to admire his stubbornness. And maybe this was going to be fun after all. Seeing how far he could push the knight, before he admitted he’d bitten off more than he could swallow.

Lucifer stepped inside the circle, too. “I’ll cut you a few times, but that’s not what’s going to hurt most.”

He could see Sam’s adam’s apple bob. Good. At least he was smart enough to be afraid. “Then what is?”

“Pulling the life energy out of you that I need for the spell. And once it’s started, it can’t be stopped or your brother may end up half stone forever.”

Sam nodded. “Understood.”

Exceptionally stubborn. It was kind of impressive, if Lucifer was honest. He couldn’t resist pushing a bit more, though. “Which means you have to keep still and not flinch away from something that will be causing you extreme pain. You think you can do that?”

Sam regarded him through narrowed eyes for a moment. “You want to tie me up, don’t you?”

Lucifer grinned. Good, maybe he would lose this game, but he wasn’t all too sad about it. “It would be less risky for your brother, but it’s your decision.”

He expected a no and the assurance that Sam would of course be able to keep still. Instead the knight seemed to think about it for a minute, then he nodded. “Do it, before I change my mind.”

That was either very stupid, because it required more trust in Lucifer than Lucifer would have put in himself, if things were reversed. Or it was a pretty good example of practical thinking combined with still more self-sacrificing tendencies. Lucifer couldn’t decide.

That didn’t mean he’d let the opportunity slide, though. He pulled a few leather strips from a pouch at his belt and crouched behind Sam. The knight crossed his hands behind his back without prompting, and Lucifer tied his wrists together first and then his bound wrists to his ankles. He worked quickly and efficiently, but of course his fingers would brush skin now and then, and he could feel Sam tremble a bit under his touch. The knight probably didn’t feel half as tough as he acted.

“I’ll make it as quick as possible,” Lucifer surprised himself saying. Damn Sam for actually making him care. When was the last time he had felt the urge to comfort someone? Meg probably. He hadn’t allowed the girl to wake up for the kill, but when the spell had been half way done there had been a confused and scared newly undead child sitting inside his circle, not yet drained of her humanity. He had cursed the fact the the spell called for someone innocent back then. And he had allowed her to hide in his arms and held her while murmuring the incantations that made her his sweet little killer once and for all.

When Lucifer was done, he drew his dagger and put two fingers at a spot between Sam’s shoulder blades. Sam’s skin was warm under his touch, and he could feel Sam’s muscles move, when he tensed. “I’ll start here.”

He didn’t give Sam any time to prepare himself. The knight hissed in pain, when Lucifer made a small cut to draw some blood. He dipped his finger into the red that trickled out the wound and used it to draw a rune.

Then he moved on. Another rune of the same kind found it’s place at the small of Sam’s back. Finally Lucifer circled around to the front.

His practiced movements faltered for a moment, when he met Sam’s eyes, dark with pain, but full of determination. It was a while since he had last done this, but from the days he had practiced the nastier kinds of spells under Amara he was used to seeing hate and fear. He actually welcomed it. It reduced the victims to a state where they were driven by nothing but instinct, made it easy to not see them as human any more, to see them like you would see a hare you caught in a trap. Maybe you felt a bit sorry for it, but it was still dinner.

What Lucifer saw behind Sam’s ever changing eyes was definitely a sharp thinking mind. Human.

He’d asked for this, though. So Lucifer crouched down again.

The next cut right above his belly button had Sam make a low noise in the back of his throat. Damn, Lucifer would love to hear that kind of sound in a different context.

“Is silence important for this part of the spell?” Sam asked, while Lucifer drew the next rune with bloody fingers.

“No.”

“Then don’t pick this moment to stop flirting.”

Lucifer chuckled, fighting down a surge of warmth and affection. When he’d started flirting in earnest, the goal had been sex. Sex was achievable. Everything else, he shouldn’t even be thinking about. “Didn’t think you’d want to hear how good you look tied up and bloody. Suits you, though. Brings out the sparks in your eyes.”

Sam lifted an eyebrow. “Talking about my eyes again?”

“If that’s what you’re taking away from what I said.” Lucifer sank the dagger into Sam’s skin right above his heart, making the knight hiss in pain again. He drew another rune on Sam’s chest, feeling the rapid heartbeat underneath his fingers. He could act unfazed all he wanted, he couldn’t hide his fear.

“Out of curiousity,” Lucifer said. “Do you trust me by now?” He didn’t know why he asked. He shouldn’t ask.

“Not completely, no, but I think the chances are high that you’re actually doing what you promised.”

Lucifer bit back a smile. Yes, he shouldn’t have asked, but he liked the answer anyway. No blind hate just because of what he was, but at the same time Sam was too smart to blindly trust either.

“Well, you’ll find out soon.” He placed the tip of his dagger underneath Sam’s chin to lift it up, enjoying the sparks that ignited in Sam’s eyes. He grabbed a fist full of Sam’s hair with his free hand to hold his head back so he could make another cut right at the collarbone.

The knight pulled his lips back in a silent snarl and struggled against Lucifer’s hold and his bonds. “If you want me to hold my chin up, just ask.”

Well, yes, that was probably an option in this case. Lucifer loosened his grip a little, but kept his hand in Sam’s hair, waiting for enough blood to collect at the new cut so he could draw another rune. “I’m not used to people in your situation being cooperative.”

“Thanks. I didn’t need that reminder. Let go of my hair.”

Lucifer smirked, but did as he was asked. Sam held the position Lucifer put him in, neck arched back beautifully, while the thin line of his mouth and his narrowed eyes seemed to say: ‘See? I choose to be in this situation. Don’t treat me otherwise.’

Lucifer cursed silently. How was a man like that even allowed to exist? He shook his head, dipped his fingers in blood again, and tried to shove away every other thought except for the task at hand. But with Lucifer drawing on Sam’s throat, their faces were inches apart, and no matter how hard he tried to smother them, there were feelings blooming he didn’t need. He was so lost.

If this was going to not end well anyway, though, he could at least get laid in the process. So he shifted the dagger to his bloody hand. “You can lower your head again.”

When Sam did so, the fingers of Lucifer’s free hand brushed along his neck as if by accident. Sam drew a shuddering breath. And when Lucifer pushed a strand of hair out of Sam’s face, the knight actually leaned into the touch a little.

Of course finishing the task at hand meant that Lucifer had to ruin the mood by placing the tip of his blade right at Sam’s forehead.

The knight instantly went completely still. He closed his eyes, lips forming a silent: ‘Shit.’

“Last one”, Lucifer said.

Another cut right between Sam’s eyes and another rune. Then it was done and he put the dagger away.

Sam’s ever changing eyes opened again, looking up at him with apprehension. “What now?”

“Now it’s going to really hurt.” With that Lucifer cupped the back of Sam’s head with one hand, making it impossible for him to lean back. He placed his other hand on the rune on Sam’s forehead and reached out with his mind.

The runes left Sam all vulnerable, taking down natural defenses and forming an opening that made it possible for Lucifer to send his magic right into Sam’s core, the source of all his being. Tendrils of Lucifer’s mind sank their hooks into Sam’s soul, making him gasp in shock. The knight started to struggle against his bonds, instinctively fighting an attack he didn’t understand. But there wasn’t much he could do, not much even a trained mage could’ve done with all the rune work laying him bare in front of Lucifer. All of Sam’s life force was there for him to take.

So Lucifer did.

Sam screamed. His screams echoed from the walls of the cavern and pierced Lucifer’s heart, even though he tried to shut if off, make it hard and unrelenting. Lucifer focused on the feeling of Sam’s life energy at his fingertips, flowing out through the rune, up his arm, settling inside him. A rush of power that made it hard not to take more than he should.

He forced himself to let go and turned to Dean. He had drawn a rune on the other Winchester’s forehead, too, not with blood, but with Basilisk venom. While Sam went silent and crumbled in his bonds, Lucifer placed two fingers on Dean’s forehead and reluctantly guided Sam’s energy out again through his other arm into Dean.

Stone cracked. At first it was only faint hairlines spreading over Dean’s face, but then small pieces of stone started falling off. Rosy skin appeared underneath. It rained shards of stone just like snowflakes. It didn’t take long until the older Winchester’s form was freed from the stone and he slumped back against the wall of the cave, unconscious, but alive. He would need rest, but he would be alright.

Lucifer turned to Sam. The younger Winchester groaned, barely conscious himself. Lucifer stepped around him and cut his bonds with the same dagger that had cut his flesh before. He helped Sam into an upright sitting position.

“That hurt more than I expected,” the knight mumbled.

“I’ve never experienced it myself, but I can imagine.” Lucifer draped Sam’s arm over his shoulders and slung one arm around Sam’s waist. “We have to get those runes off you, they leave you vulnerable.” Of course having Sam’s very being laid bare for him was something that went straight to Lucifer’s head, but with the runes on every passing spirit would be able to just slip into Sam’s body without any form of resistance. “Can you stand?”

“I can try. Is Dean alright?”

“Yes. He’ll need some time to regain consciousness, but he’s fine.”

“Thank you.”

It was surprisingly nice to hear that.

They managed to get upright with Sam leaning heavily on Lucifer. His weight distracted Lucifer a bit from the fact that he had a mostly naked very gorgeous guy draped over him, while they stumbled towards the waterfall.

At the end of the tunnel, where the water was like a curtain in front of the exit of the cave, Lucifer helped Sam lean against the wall. As soon as he let go of the knight, he slid down along the wall until he was sitting on the floor. Well, that worked, too. Lucifer pulled his own shirt over his head and held it under the spray. He used it to wipe the blood from Sam’s forehead, chest and belly. The cuts had already stopped bleeding.

The knight watched him with eyes that were wide of wonder for some reason. “Your eyes are glowing,” he said after a while.

Oh yes, they probably did. “That’s a side effect of powerful spells. It’ll subside after a while.”

“That’s a pity.” Sam’s hands came up, cupping Lucifer’s face, and Lucifer froze. He had expected Sam to be at least a bit wary of him after the spell. Most people were after a demonstration of powerful blood magic, especially those who found themselves in the middle of it.

“It’s beautiful,” Sam said. “You’re beautiful.”

Maybe Sam was more delirious than Lucifer had thought so far. “You’re barely conscious. You’re talking nonsense.”

“Maybe,” Sam agreed. “But I think I’m done with acting like I’m not attracted to you.”

“I just used dark magic to rip a part of your life force out of your body.” Maybe Lucifer should just take advantage of this, see how long it lasted. But a knight with morning after regrets would just make his life harder in the long run. Also, Lucifer realized, if he got to have Sam, he wanted him all in.

“You saved my brother,” Sam objected, “and you didn’t do anything I didn’t agree to beforehand. Also, did you miss the part where I told you I have a thing for questionable people?”

Lucifer chuckled. “Fair enough.”

Sam’s hands were still on his face, and a pink tongue darted out, wetting Sam’s lips. Lucifer was pretty sure even more honorable men than him wouldn’t have been able to resist this temptation, but he didn’t have to do anything. Sam was the one who leaned forward and captured his lips in a kiss.

Lucifer steadied himself on the wall behind Sam and kissed back. His tongue slipped between Sam’s lips, drawing a delicious little noise from the other man. Sam’s hands slid to the back of Lucifer neck, pulling him closer, teeth scraping over Lucifer’s lower lip.

And yes, this was great, but Sam was still barely conscious. So Lucifer pushed himself away, instantly mourning the loss of contact. “Turn around.” His voice sounded hoarse.

Sam pouted. “Now you’re rushing things.”

Lucifer grinned. “Believe it or not, that’s not what I had in mind. You still have runes on your back that leave you completely open to any kind of magical attack.”

“For someone who has been hitting on me basically since you first looked at me, you’re way too much about business now.” Sam’s fingers trailed down his chest.

Lucifer groaned, but pulled back a little more. “I’ll stop with that as soon as you’re able to make informed decisions again. Now turn around.”

Sam did so grumbling. Lucifer soaked his shirt under the waterfall again and washed the blood off Sam’s back. As soon as the last rune was gone, Sam stretched. “I feel a lot better already.” He sounded less groggy, too.

“You were under the influence of dark magic. Of course you feel better, when it’s gone.” Lucifer washed the blood from his shirt under the waterfall and wrung it out. “How about we get a fire going and dry our clothes while we wait for your brother to wake up?”

“Sounds good.” Sam turned back towards Lucifer, and before any of them could get up, he grabbed Lucifer by his shoulders and kissed him again.

“Huh,” Lucifer said, after they separated. “You really mean it, do you?”

Sam smiled, and it was the most beautiful thing Lucifer had seen in a long time.

There was no way an affair with the son of John Winchester was going to end well, but Lucifer couldn’t care less.

[phoenix-failing]

Ten facts for Lori!

Ooooohhh get to yell about my favorite girl...1. Lori's full name is Lorelei Elfeei. She was given her first name (Elfeei) when she stumbled into her town at an age somewhere near two. Her town is kind of a Neverland type of thing where it was protected by magic and was only children who lived there. She didn't know her name so the kids gave her one and the ears were notable. Lorelei she choose, it was a tradition that when you left you held a ceremony to tell everyone good bye and pick your new name to go out into the world with. 2. Lori can barely read it's possible but it's a long slow painful to listen to process and she can't write too well either. She had like little kid learn to read books in her pack that she would reference whenever she had to write letters and even then anything that wasn't a formal report was written in 'Lori Speak' basically anything she wanted to talk about related back to some kind of a previous event and you'd get the message if you knew her and were there for the event. She can read maps and street/ shop signs but not really books. That's also why Elfeei is spelled so weird she practiced her first name but was just kind of on the spot when she had to decide how that one worked. 3. Her theives guild is the Lost Shadows and their like creed/motto is something I found a few years ago and have since lost the damn website but it was old/outdated Scottish or Irish traveler's cant translations. It's Cleek Agley and means "to walk arm and arm in the wrong direction" which feels perfect for a found family theives guild.4. Lori in any actual setting that isn't fantasy/Sendra is a million percent Irish. Like lives in Ireland Irish, she's got the red hair and the right attitude about the fey...5. Once early in the campaign she flubbed a stealth roll and got caught trying to steal something. Like just picked a lock and opened a carriage to see the captain of the guard sitting there.... Her defense was that she was definitely not a thief and couldn't be one because theives are better than that and if indeed she was trying to steal something she wouldn't have gotten caught. It was as ineffective a defense as it sounds....6. She has a super special magic item that means the world to her and the Idiots will probably see it one day and that will probably be the day you hear me cry on mic, it's not gonna be on purpose but it'll probably happen...7. She has a pet mouse whose name is Scraps. Because mice don't live that long this is definitely like Scraps the 9th or something, they are all named Scraps. Except that one time she befriended a rat and brought that home but it wasn't a mouse she couldn't name it Scraps, I can't remember what it's name was though... She teaches all her pets little tricks too, the current Scraps knows how to sit pretty, play dead and jump on command.8. Speaking of Scraps Lori went into a town one day and commissioned special leather armor for him, so he was safer in case of her getting into fights and taking damage. He looks very regal wearing it. 9. Lori hates Titian. Okay not reeeeeaaally but the first time she met him he was playing as a bard and told them a story about this dragon hoard which preceded to be him as a dragon. Guarding an empty cave.... She had 2 Nat 20s on stealth and because dragon perception is off the damn charts he still saw her. Also he just loves to mess with her and make her life difficult so she refuses to be nice to him. But in all honesty they are cool with each other and he once watched her stuff and kept it safe so she could go sleep with another thief...10. She once was sat on by a chicken golem.... We met a necromancer who had a bodyguard in plate mail that was mostly human bits but a chicken head and she was being a petulant child as she does and the chicken sat on her to get her to fucking cool it. She wasn't let go until she said please and then was told to say pretty please and her response was "I am the pretty part..." Which led to me being given her first and only DM inspiration because Milo is fucking stingy with that. I held onto that inspiration for like a year real time before I actually was willing to use it...

@flycasual yes okay oc party time

Okay so for d&d ocs I have disaster twins risk and reward, obviously tieflings (though in some canons risk is a tiefling and her brother reward is an aasimar due to some v serious prophecy they mostly ignore)

Risk is a bard, mega charismatic and also very very pan, and spends most of her time creating multiple choice backgrounds for her and her brother, leaving her party members to try and figure out what details stay the same because they’re pretty sure??? Those ones are true??? (They’re not at all)

Reward is the quieter of the two, he’s a paladin to whatever god of luck is in the pantheon. He spends a lot of time setting up businesses based around religion (boy is gonna start the first mega church smh) and whenever anyone is rude to him he goes “that wasn’t v holy of u” or “fantasy jesus is watching”

They refuse to be separated, and if anyone asks them to, one of them WILL say “no risk, no reward” and the general consensus is they picked those names just to make that joke forever and the only reason they don’t separate is solely commitment to the bit (all of this is 10000% true)

They’re basically Jean Ralphio and Mona Lisa Saperstein I love them they’re awful

My writing ocs consist of an incredibly shallow and narcissitic vampire named tabitha who was turned in Salem in 1692 to save her from being hanged as a witch. She’s currently dating/not dating a cannibalistic goblin named gabriel and has definitely set his car on fire 3 times over small slights. He’s done similar to her for less.

The other one is a girl named Persephone who was either cursed to deathlessness by a necromancer/stalker with a crush OR who became a reaper (of the grim variety in a dead like me type bureaucracy) some time in ancient greece. She’s very much over the whole immortality bit and just Wants To Die but makes friends with a snarky little 19 year old werewolf punk girl who either saves seph from her stalker OR breaks seph’s heart by dying tragically

That’s not even all of them, but The others are usually harry potter ocs

Bless u for asking pls tell me about yours pls
