#i need a verse tag ... it is Pending

     The dreamscape was an adventure, that much was for sure. So much so that a certain vidyadhara could hardly help himself from exploring. Thankfully, never too far from his father, doing whatever it was adults did while their children tended to run and play. A close eye kept on the ever excitable ball of pink fluff that Amatus was.

     A soft ‘oof’ that escaped the boy as he was bumped into by the other. Ears swiveling up and down before his tail started to wag. No, never upset. Only excited to see someone else his own age.

     Maybe a friend!

     “ S'okay! ” he insists, practically bouncing on his heels now. Oh, the little wings were cute! It was nice meeting someone else that wasn't human. Someone like him who was…different. Amatus found he quite liked that. “ Are ya um – playin' ‘round here, too? S' so pretty, ain't it?! ”

AU where Jekyll is trying to get rid of Hyde, so he concocts a potion that he THINKS will do the trick. And it does — after immense pain for both of them, their body is no longer being shared — BUT HYDE IS SUDDENLY A FULLY SEPARATE BEING IN HIS VERY OWN BODY, STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF JEKYLL!!!

The castle was quiet, for once. The others had left to get some fresh air and explore around outside. Calcifer had been sitting where he normally was, on top of logs letting them burn. He had waited several minutes before he figured the others didn’t forget anything and therefore were not going to come back inside for a while. So, he shifted into his human-like form, sliding off of the makeshift fireplace, standing and dusting himself off from the ashes. 

Clothes appeared on him, just a casual look of black pants and a red hoodie. His orange hair was short and messy like an untamed fire. Hands reached above his head, stretching out his body, having felt cooped up for a bit too long, even though his natural form was the fire form. He dropped his hands back at his sides, golden orbs looking around the room before he heard the click of the door switching to a different location and it opening. His gaze moved from the kitchen to look towards the doorway, watching Howl emerge from the entrance. 

The fire demon didn’t move to greet him though, just watched him for a moment. Caramel colored fingers reached to grab a small piece of wood and put it near his lips, as if he was ready to chew on it. A small little fire still burning from where he had sat in his true form, to keep the castle warm. 

“ You hurt? ” Calcifer finally questioned after staring Howl down. “ The others left to explore outside or something like that. ” After all, if it had been anyone but Howl that entered the home, Calcifer would have turned back into his true form, not allowing anyone other than Howl to know he could shift his appearance.

The Mage leans back in their seat, elegantly crossing one leg over the other as they wait for an explanation. It is not often they involve themselves in discipline, whether of their slaves, employees, or children, but by skipping out on her lessons today, Elaena disobeyed one of their few rules: do not lie to Sigyn or Angrboða. So here they both find themselves in Loki’s study, the girl caught out in a lie – she really is an awful liar – and called upon to provide an explanation. The absurdity of disciplining the daughter of a former queen is not lost on them.

Eyebrows shoot sky-high at the claim that lessons are boring and that she, and the unruly twins, elected to do something ‘more fun’. Loki would be the first to admit that being forced to learn or abide by rules one is not interested in is tedious, but Elaena is not permitted the same excuses as their other children. While they have been educated equally – boys, girls and neither all together, learning skills of the battlefield and the household, tutored until the beginnings of adulthood – and each has been permitted to leave their studies once they have determined upon a course of further study or employment, it is not so for the princess. Sleip excused himself from lessons aged thirteen to become an equine physician-groom, and Fen aged twelve to breed dogs for hunting and working, and Loki supported their efforts wholeheartedly. But Elaena is royalty, and her education cannot be considered complete until she is adept in the history and diplomacy of her people. As much as they don’t want to admit it, her adoptive parents know she will wish to return one day.

It seems that ‘one day’ is today.

“You did what?” Their voice is icy cold, initial disbelief over the girl’s tale morphing swiftly into horror. Eleana is an adult now, there is no denying it, but she remains young, naive and delicate-looking. Easy prey for any man with ill intentions. “Am I to understand that you skipped your lessons here to go into the city, without proper protection – and no, my sons do not count before you say anything about them – to meet an unknown man who you knew was searching for you?” Loki, now sitting forward in the chair, lifts a hand to run long fingers through their hair. “By the old gods, what made you do something so foolish?”

A beat of silence, and the Lysene abruptly rises from their seat, releasing a frustrated sigh and pacing to the window. What the fuck will all those years, and all those spells, have been for if Elaena is so reckless with her own safety? Spinning round on their heel, they address the princess again. “While I understand you wish to return and meet your family – and I certainly will not stop you from doing so – what you did today was not the correct way to go about it. That man could have been anyone, and you went to meet him without so much as a second thought! Please, for the sake of my extremely fragile sanity, tell me you didn’t tell him who you are?”

@emeraldxphoenix said: [ lie ] sender catches receiver in a lie - for Elaena, whatever age you like. (With the side note that Loki will not be mad if his kids lie to him. Up to you if she knows that yet or not)

Elaena fiddles with the sleeve of her gauzy lavender dress, trying to find a perfect excuse for why she has been out in the city all day, when she was supposed to attend her lessons and even roped the twins into tagging along. "Lessons are boring. We did something more fun", she says with a nonchalant shrug, but she doesn't meet Loki's gaze. Despite years of pretending to be someone else and keeping half of who she is hidden from others, Elaena is not a great liar. Every thought she has is usually on the tip of her tongue and it is rare she holds something back in the confines of Loki's house, unless he entertains guests.

"I went into the city and met with a man...He was looking for a silver haired girl with violet eyes, saying the King of Westeros sent him to look for his sister...the boys overheard him at the market yesterday. So I met with him." She sighs deeply and looks up at Loki. "My brother Viserys returned to Westeros. We thought he was dead, but apparently he was living here in Essos all along as well. And he told my brother Aegon about the rumors that a girl with a dragon lives here. So he sent a guard to investigate." Elaena allows the words to linger between them for a moment. "I want to go home and see my brothers and sisters. They're all married, have children...I want to see them."

a literate and descriptive oc for the dragon age franchise ALEXANDER COUSLAND . 18+ only // minors dni / written by tay.

BIOGRAPHY

The younger brother of Bryce Cousland, Alexander ( who goes by Alex to family & friends had an adventuring spirit, and while Bryce settled into his future life as future Teryn, Alex had different goals, he had no desire for political power and governing, and thus he kept his mind solely on training with the blade until eventually he left home to explore Ferelden. Over the years he became quite the known mercenary, a sellsword by nature, though he holds himself to a strict honorable code, never harm an innocent. Some might go out of their way to call him a less fancy assassin, but Alex would be the first to disagree with this.

Returning home sparingly over the years, Alex relished in visiting his brother and his family, enjoying being a fun yet loving Uncle who, while enjoyed these visits, never missed life within the confines of the castle. During the blight, Alex is settled in Redcliffe, offering his services to the demon problem they were facing when the Hero of Ferelden walked into town. Whether the Warden is his nephew/niece or not, Alex will offer his services to them after the battle and become a companion, especially after learning of the tragedy that befell his family.

I love writing ships, romance is one of my favorite things to write, but I will not enforce it, nor is it the only thing I will write. I don't force ship, and I appreciate if you do the same. That being said, if you ask, it's more than likely I'll say yes, we just need chemistry in our writing.

You must be over eighteen to write things of a NSFW-rated nature. There are no exceptions to this rule. I will unfollow you if I find out you lied about your age. Period. This is not a game. 

My ask box is always open, and if you ever have a comment or a concern, please feel free to write me! Anonymous hate will be deleted and not published — I don’t feed trolls.

Hate of any kind will absolutely not be tolerated on this blog. If I see someone who is a friend of mine, or a mutual player, getting hate, I will stand up and defend them. If I find out you, as a follower, have been spreading hate — whether it be on your personal or your RP blog, you will be unfollowed. I have a zero tolerance policy.

Things are tagged, NSFW things are always tagged as #nsft

I’m happy to write with multiple versions of the same character.

I'm not interested in writing on discord.

SHIPPING INFO // ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSES SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER(S)?

In his most original creation, 10 years ago, Esmé was attached to a witch named Alice. He was charged with protecting her and his soul was bonded with hers. He fell deeply in love with her. I will always have a soft place in my heart for that ship, and if Alice's writer is out there somewhere I wish them nothing but happy days and to know I think about those two so very often.

As for presently - I only have 2 ships established on Esmé currently and I am deeply adoring both of them.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

This will always be on a case-by-case scenario. Esmé is 35 minimum in his canon, pending younger for verses. In canon the most I would be comfortable would be perhaps 10 years? I feel as if a fresh twenty year old has a lot to learn and can too easily be exploited by older partners, so I'd like to steer away from inciting any of that dynamic or presentation. I can easily see him being involved with someone older than he is, however. There's not really a limit upward from 35. But again, it's all case-by-case, depending on the muses involved and the dynamic.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?

I can be. Mostly I look for chemistry with the muses and chemistry writing. We don't have to know each other intimately out of character --- the aforementioned mun who wrote Alice and I did not speak much out of character aside from dynamics on the occasion (things that reminded us of the muses) but we gelled very well with how we wrote and the chemistry was there. It really comes down to writing styles and interest in the ship itself. If one side is giving more than the other and it's obvious that they aren't really interested, it's easy to lose the feel in general.

WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?

I'm open to anything, mostly. No taboo topics, nothing squicky, and Esmé is a bit pickier with his partners / who he has interest in but if all of the right boxes are checked I'll give it a whirl.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

All you have to say is "I ship this, do you?" I don't require much more, and a lot of people are shy or misread things. Just for clarification, sure. And if I don't see the ship that doesn't mean I won't in the future - it just likely means we need to write or discuss the dynamic more.

ARE YOU SHIP-OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?

I won't say obsessed but I'm tired of tiptoeing and pretending I'm not interested in ships of all kinds. Character relationships are what drive our development at the end of the day. So I'd say in-between, ship favorable.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?

I'm not in any particular fandom but some favorite ships are: Spike and Julia from Cowboy Bebop, Kerrigan and Raynor from Starcraft, Ana Amari and Reinhardt from Overwatch, Fiona and Sean from Shameless, Wolfgang and Kala from Sense8.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?

Establish a dynamic of some sort and ask.

I stole this! Feel free to steal it and tag me if you'd like.

A smile formed on Gakushu’s lips, an inviting and warm smile, one he had used many times with any student he came across. He seemed so approachable when he had this expression plastered on his face, but it was fake. Even so, his shoulders seemed relaxed as he listened to Karma, annoyance hidden behind that golden smile. 

“ For ‘us’ to win? ” Gakushu mused. Granted, E class has shown they could rise up to any challenge and as much as Gakushu hates to admit it, they did defeat them before. That wasn’t a great time being at home after that last event, his father really tore into him with lectures and disappointed remarks. Gakushu wouldn’t make the same mistake twice, he would underestimate class E again. 

“ Working together? It’s not exactly what I meant. ” He moved to grab his bag that was next to his foot. He dug out a spare notebook and placed it onto the desk, opened the notebook and grabbed his pencil, writing down the school’s fair name in question. He then lifted his eyes back up to Karma. 

“ However, Akabane, I think it might be an interesting twist if we did try to, as you say, work together. As far as I have been told the principle already has some sort of... layout planned. ” He knew people knew that he was the son of the principal but he tried to refrain from using ‘father’ as much as possible when it came to school things. He also knew his father had another plan to try and get E class back to the bottom but Gakushu was never a fan of his father’s tactics. 

He wanted to beat E class, don’t get him wrong, but he more than anything wanted to take down his father. If his father’s plans went south again maybe it would give Gakushu the upper hand for once. Besides, his father would never suspect him to work with E class willingly so it was a good strategy for himself. He blinked slowly, realizing he probably been too quiet for a bit too long as he went through things in his head. 

“ Anyways, that is probably no surprise to you that he has something planned. ” He moved back to start drawing a map of the school in the notebook he had. “ So, how do you wish to work together? Are you just wanting to come up with a better sounding plan? Something more enticing in the fair or... perhaps... ” He trailed off for a moment. He was going to suggest they pair up in the fair but that would never work. Yes, a slap in the face to his father but his classmates would never go for it and with how the school was run, it just wouldn’t work. Everyone would be questioning Gakushu’s insight as well. “ Hm, no, nevermind. How much do you know about what is going to go on in the fair? ”

In all honesty, Karma barely paid attention when his classmates brainstormed ideas for the upcoming event, and even less attention during the assembly announcing it—-but something something, academic fair, something something, well-respected guests, something something. ( Though, he had attended without skipping out, which showed a marked improvement compare to his past truancy. ) If his one-sided conversation just now sounded lackluster... well, it couldn't be helped. But with his own class representatives busy, he made a gracious offer to relieve the burden on his shoulders.

More like he just wanted to bother Asano. Though perhaps he should've expected the president to be far too busy to rise to his subtle, snide provocation. With a final flippant remark and a dismissive wave, Karma made to excuse himself—-only to be called back.

This wouldn't be a wasted trip after all, it seemed.

"Work together?" As he plopped down in a seat across from the other, one corner of his lips curled upwards, his head canted to the side like an intrigued cat. Working together wasn't exactly what Asano meant, of course, yet Karma couldn't be bothered with semantics. "That might be the best approach to this whole thing, actually—-if we made this event another competition, it'd be boring for us to win without a challenge."

For all he knew, the academic fair already had a competitive setup, and that wouldn't come as a surprise considering the general school policies.

"But working together might be fun, don't you think, Asano-kun?"

MARGERY "PEGGY" MERCAR

triggers: slavery, fantasy racism, deadnaming/misgenders (accidental - read more)

Notes

Canon divergent Shadow Dragon Rook. Her backstory is not that of the in-game Shadow Dragon PC.

If Rook is a Solas mirror, Peggy mirrors his rebellion and talent for making things worse while trying to better them.

Veilguard spoilers throughout.

Basics

Name: Margery Nickname(s): Rook (strangers), Peggy/Peg (close friends) Faction: Shadow Dragons Age: 48 (by Veilguard) Birthday: Nubulis 20th 9:27 Dragon Race: Elf Gender / Pronouns: Cis Woman, She/Her Orientation: Probably straight but this is me we're talking about

Personality

Proud and quick to judge, Margery wasn't born a rebel, but was made one by circumstances. She doesn't often mince words, and when she does it is typically for her own ends. She keeps her heart guarded, and is slow to trust others with her past. Her nurturing streak comes out with younger members of the Veilguard, and once past her defenses a woman of dry wit begins to reveal herself.

Background

Hometown: Amaranthine / Denerim Current Residence: Minrathous / The Lighthouse Accent: Northern English (Geordie)

Husband: Ghilad (deceased) Son: Bruno

Religion: Andrastian (Questioning/Non-practising)

History

Born in the grey coastal city of Amaranthine, Margery moved to Denerim at the tender age of twenty to wed Ghilad, a man she had never met but had been arranged to marry. She will still tell people it was the bravest (and most frightening) thing she's ever done. A few years later, they have a child, a girl (or so they believed at the time).

Things are happy, but not happy forever. She avoids the riot, thinking her family will be safe if they keep their heads down, but then the purge comes- and then the plague. First her husband sickens, and then her child, and then her. When the Tevinter mages come, she uses the last of her strength to bring her family to them. For her trust, her husband is left to die, and she along with her five-year-old are sold to Tevinter.

For years she belonged to a man named Quintius, and was able to remain a mother to her child, until a bad turn of luck left Quintius in need of a little extra coin. Separated from everything and everyone she had ever loved, Margery hardens, and every sharp knife looks like it would fit neatly between Quintius's ribs.

She wouldn't have her vengeance. At least, not yet. At a banquet held by her master, she is freed by the Viper, and turns her freedom to the Shadow Dragon's cause. Her bold actions within the fledgling rebel faction quickly earned her the scorn of the Venatori and traditionalist magisters.

Luckily, a certain dwarf has a particular fondness for opinionated elves.

Verses

(verse descriptions a wip but here are the bare bones)

v; tag pending ( pre veilguard ) on request.

Peggy's time in the Denerim Alienage up to her liberation by the Shadow Dragons. Mostly open to Denerim Alienage elves (including Adaia, who she would know!).

WEEWOO WEEWOO VEILGUARD SPOILERS if you didn't heed it earlier pls heed it now

Varric's hurt, the Dread Wolf's in her head, and the gods are loose. Her regrets are piling up around her, and she'll do anything she can not to drown.

Half-way through the game, after a cryptic passcode is given to her by Solas, she reunites with her child- her son, Bruno.

Main Choices: Saved Minrathous (believing her child is still in the city), lets Solas tear down the Veil (through less destructive means I still need to think about) and/or atone, Dorian for Archon, Harding leads the scouts, Neve got Blighted

Companion Choices: Emmrich turns away from lichdom, griffons with the Dalish, Bellara keeps the archive, tells Taash to do what will make them happy, Illario jailed/Spite and Lucanis will split, Neve is encouraged to become Batman, Harding embraces herself and not her anger.

special verse tag drop. mostly my ship verses.

closed -> not open for outside interaction, besides some anon asks about this verse semi-open -> open to some outside interaction, asks, and anons about this verse open -> open verse for interaction and requesting single ship -> this verse is single ship, meaning only one romantic ship for the character w/ another character established, but may be an open verse for other interaction. this will only be from my end / the case for my end / not expected the same from my partner. this is just for me.

verse; clint barton; who shares your burdens (mrtonystark) // a mostly closed verse in which most of 616 is canon, and look y'all have seen the 1200+ note thread. @mr-tony-stark and i go ham on plotting and writing. so i just wanted a verse tag, and like if anons wanted to ask clint questions in that verse, i'd accept them, but otherwise it's a closed verse. but i am absolutely in love with ironhawk and how much, we write and plot together <3 i love you <3

verse; clint barton; how many more chances can i have with you (biitchcakes) // a semi-open verse, in which Clint is in a relationships with @biitchcakes - look, i just wanna gush about what Aurora and I have plotted, like I have already outlined the 2 major breakups and 1 break, and the 4 times that Clint and Jess are fools who get back together. It's relatively canon divergent in 616 event, and like y'all, Clint and Jess' West Coast Era is amazing, also Leftovers we need to write Leftovers . . . and the way i could write a netflix tv show about their west coast era, and then civil war 2 but make it more government vs. heroes and make it sad for clintjess.

verse; clint barton; entangled to a loser like me (crisispider) // a semi-open verse, in which Clint is in a relationship with @crisispider - incorporates both 616 and spiderverse events into the fold, and clint and peter are absolutely just two golden retriever boyfriends together.

verse; clint barton; how can i watch you fade (crisispider) // a closed verse with @crisispider, in which i mess around with hawkeye: blindspot concept, and really just here to torture peter and mel

verse; clint barton; to boldly go (ss; crisispider) // an open, single ship (on my end) STAR TREK AU, i have a whole write up for Clint's Star Trek au, and I've considered this verse single ship w/ Mel's Peter; but otherwise it's very open to interaction and being requested. Clint's just your unhinged helmsman who sows chaos into all of starfleet/the federation :) [ here is the written up verse information to read ]

verse; linda carter; to heal across the stars (thefleetsfinest) // an open, single ship (on my end only) STAR TREK AU, for Linda Carter, whom is now a cardiac surgeon aboard the Enterprise. On my side, not Mel's side, I am only writing one romantic ship in the Star Trek setting/au and that's with Mel's @thefleetsfinest. Very dedicated woman to medicine and well-being of the crew. [ verse write up pending ]

verse; pepper potts; captain of her own (uss unreliable) // an open star trek au verse, in which Pepper hot off the heels of being the infamous Captain Tony Stark's first officer (of which there's is many rumors surrounding him), has been promoted and now is Captain Potts of the USS Unreliable. . . . her first officer being Steve Rogers (@liibertysdream) of whom is a former captain himself (rumors surrounding him as well, oh no pepper what are you doing). She was communications and command before hand, with prior goals of managing a starbase or colony, now being made Captain of a ship.

The initial thing i want to emphasize is that i highly value communication. If you are interested in plotting, have an idea for shipping ? ( please, slam dunk these into my dms so fast)  don’t hesitate to let me know. as i don’t always read social cues, being straightforward with me makes things a lot easier. my writing will most likely be sporadic. It depends on the hours i am working, where my mental health is at. I will like a post that i have seen so if i haven’t liked it chances are i haven’t seen it and i encourage you to give me a nudge. I have a tendency to talk a bit ooc, about ideas, general thoughts about my muse. I have a pending ooc tag which will be this for now ooc. but will most likely change when i begin working on my tags.

there will be dark content explored on this blog, everything will be tagged accordingly. nsfw will be potentially present and will also be tagged.

From the bars of his gilded cage, he can see the main gate heading eastwards and he swore that this penthouse had to have been chosen for that express purpose. It was wide open, taunting him, barely guarded because of the late morning traffic to the vendor's stalls in the merchant's quarter.

The heavy metal collar around his neck was pretty and looked ornamental, but it could also deliver around 50,000 volts straight into his spine.

He'd tried running- Once.

The pain was incredible and each cycle lasted a long five seconds- Enough to leave him immobilized and gasping in the dirt. The massive metal doors remained, so close, yet miles away.

Most of his clients were twice his age. He had some younger men and women but they didn’t tend to want to go out so much as just pull his ass into a mid-level hotel and eat in- Mostly just eat something they sure as hell didn’t offer on a room service menu.

Lien was pretty, pretty enough to have a name anyway. It apparently was some important flower in the old days, known for symbolizing purity- Which he found pretty hilarious, but he also guessed that's what her bullnecked boyfriends thought they were paying for. They had biceps the size of stuffed turkeys and barrel chests that could probably feed a family of five.

He slumped against the bars and tried to pretend that he hadn't been counting the days (ninety-fucking-two) since he'd last seen Vash. That's what he got for getting his hopes up, like a kid or something- Except he essentially was still a 'kid' with long, coltish limbs that had just seen a major growth spurt since puberty kicked in, filling out his muscles from the routine exercise he was expected to keep up with to keep trim and fit.

He should be happy, he was being allowed out, but what was the point when he had nothing to look forward to but a couple of old hawker's pitying smiles when he loitered at their produce selection. Their skin was leathery from sun and toil, and heaping rucksacks or boxes into slipshod wooden carts pulled by cattle, sometimes a horse if they were lucky. Always sad looking because they knew what that collar meant and they couldn't do anything- At least nothing other than push a bag of dates or pomegranate seeds into his hands and tell him to 'take care' of himself, moving onto the next customer.

A vendor is heating up what looks like sugar, but it's shiny and stretchy and he molds it into animal shapes- A swan, a fish, something he doesn't recognize. There's a small army of children watching in amazement and it does manage to bring a little smile to his face as he nips the skin off a fig and chews at it's pithy insides.

His expression fades and he cranes his head to try and see over the moving sea of bodies, catching a flash of blonde hair and a red coat. He nearly drops his shoulder bag to the ground, suddenly unsure as to what to do. Surely, Vash wasn't there for him... but a hopeful warmth spreads inside his chest when they make eye contact.

If the blonde ignored him, then it'd be easier to just move on- Nothing was more awkward than an unwanted conversation.

@blissfulanguish

Vash stands on his toes, craning his neck to see over the crowd of people milling around in front of various stalls in search of one visage in particular. Almost three months have passed since his last visit and part of him worries, perhaps irrationally, that his friend might have moved on.

It wouldn’t be the first time Vash had made a connection somewhere only to come back and found that they’d gone away to school, or to be married or just to seek adventure somewhere away from home. And in all fairness he can’t expect them to stick around one place forever. He certainly doesn’t. Still, it gives him a pang to think that the last time he’d spoken to his friend might indeed have been the last time. Not that he’d ever seemed to Vash especially inclined to wander far outside the markets. Even the wider parts of the city felt off limits in some unspoken way.

So knowing by now where the other boy was most likely to frequent, Vash makes his way from one food stall to the next, stopping at one on a while to procure a particularly decadent looking cheesecake. His catlike acquaintance always had a slightly starved look to him and while he didn’t appear to be homeless, Vash isn’t convinced he is getting enough to eat.

With the cake boxed and tied closed with a ribbon he returns to his search, eyes sweeping the throngs of people once again.

UMK is happening this weekend, where Finland will select their entry for Eurovision! Here's my ranking of the participants:

Käärijä – Cha Cha Cha

Benjamin – Hoida mut

Portion Boys – Samaa taivasta katsotaan

KUUMAA – Ylivoimainen

Robin Packalen – Girls Like You

Lxandra – Something To Lose

Keira – No Business On The Dancefloor

These songs have been out for a while now, and I've done my best to avoid fan perceptions of them, and succeeded for all but one specific song, which I feel like I see people talking about every time I go into the Eurovision tag! And, you know what, I agree with the people who love it! Cha Cha Cha is fantastic – the perfect level of chaotic to be exciting and fun and keep you on your toes listening to it without ever feeling messy. It's ridiculously catchy, from the little blaring synth hook in the verses to the melody of 'Cha Cha Cha' on the chorus – it wedges itself in my brain and makes me reach for the repeat button! It's an interesting track, with influences from metal to dubstep, all very intense, which I love! I just hope this song comes across well live, I need Käärijä to give a killer performance and pair it with an equally exciting visual staging!

Even though for me Käärijä is head and shoulders above the rest, the other’s aren’t slumping either! I especially like Benjamin’s Hoida mut – it's got a great 80s throwback sound and is very high energy, it makes me want to dance along! I love the chorus, the tune there sounds so good to my ears. It might not be Cha Cha Cha, but Hoida mut is an enjoyable, catchy number and in another selection could easily be my favourite.

Finland have nailed it this year – this is such a good selection, with a range of genres and styles, but everything is well put-together and good quality, even the songs which don't appeal so much to me. Pending a decent live performance, I desperately need to see Käärijä bring Cha Cha Cha to Eurovision, but I don't think Finland will do too badly with most of their other options here either! I'm excited to see what they pick!

HEY, IM ESO

Please don’t call me Gutz.

I AM

A 20 year old queer artist just kind of trudging along through life. I’ve got two cats and a lovely husband. I’m a little bit traumatized and that definitely reflects in my work. I deal with chronic pain and a few other issues, and that also probably reflects in my work. I identify as a transmasculine nonbinary person, but tend to present more gnc. I’m very gay, and love men a lot. T4T 4ever, and all that. I do also identify with Rabies Pride.

I LIKE

Horror, Gore, and creepy-crawlies. My page may not be safe for people who are sensitive to topics like blood, abuse, legal substance use, and more mature content. I like exploring horror in art, and usually use and make my own oc’s to do so. I’ll still probably make fan art, it’s inevitable, but I’ll largely be making content of my own oc’s. Is some of it projection from my own experiences? Probably. But that’s what gives art it’s soul.

MY OCs

Right now I’ve got a really fucked up robot, and two dudes stuck together in a zombie apocalypse- master post links and tags pending. I’ll add more to this section soon.

Info under the cut!

Dividers are by @cafekitsune

WILL DRAW

Blood, Guts, and Gore. May be open to drawing sugg3st1ve or n/$/f/w content, depending on the subject. I can do Humanoid, Anthro, Mech, and am willing to try other types of characters. I tend to want to draw either sketches or fully rendered pieces- flat colors really aren’t my thing. Price info can be found on my Toyhou.se, but the general starting prices are $15 icons, $20 Halfbodies, $25 fulls, fully rendered, with additional prices depending on complexity. Adding a bit of animation will cost about +$20 extra.

WONT DRAW

Anything on my DNI from above the cut. I’m able to deny any commission, or ask to do something else instead if anything you ask for makes me uncomfortable, or I think it’s beyond my ability.

TOS

I take payment through most apps, though PayPal is preferred. My prices are the USD exchange for whatever your currency may be, so please factor that into the cost when considering a commission from me. Should I need to drop your commissions before I start for whatever reason, on your or my end, you will receive a full refund. Should there be a need to drop your comissions after I start from your or my side, you may receive a partial refund depending on how much work and time I have put into the commission. Please do not color in my line art or sketches, though I cannot police what you do with my art after I finish and you receive it, I do ask that you don’t unless you buy something from me specifically to be a base. COMMISSIONS ARE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY, if you want to commission me for something you’d like to use commercially, we can discuss separate prices.

"Gwen-goo? That the best you got?! That just sounds wrong!" He winced under the mask when his shot whizzed past her. She had not been his target, at all, his real target was the robber currently trying to make a run for it with a purse. "For your information, I already spent that gift card! It was 10 bucks less than promised so I couldn't even get myself a new amp! I'm pissed about that!" To emphasize his point he fired another shot, which luckily did hit its target on the back, knocking him to the ground.

"Listen, if you're mad about the gig why don't you girls just get some more practice hours in? Simple as that. My guys and I would've had a much harder time if you didn't miss one in every four beats or if your guitarist didn't slip up that often." Sure, underneath his impulsivity, and bone-headed tendencies, it was difficult to remember that music is one subject he really does know back to front, get him talking about his art, though, and he'll quickly remind you of that fact.

"Was that all by the way? Simple robbery? Damn, that was easy."

@wulfriic liked for a starter !

⸺ a stream of hot plasma whizzed past gwen; intercepting with a wall nearby their target. ah, lasers. not good. usually whoever was on the other side of them was aiming for gwen. usually, that 'whoever' was frank castle. please don't be frank castle.

〝 are you kidding me dude ? 〞worse than frank castle. much worse. 〝 okay not only did you almost turn me into gwen-goo 〞wow, there's gotta have a better quip than that. 〝 -- but don't you have a gift card to go spend at the dollar dog ? 〞as if taking STEALING first place at the battle of the bands wasn't enough for this leather-clad cut-in. now he had to come make gwen's problem's his too.

Are there any relationships among your own muses? If so, tell us more!

Any muses you had to revise or any you think you need to?

List some random facts about any muse of your choice!

..... selfshipping with Felix is king here, so Sorry not sorry, but time to summarize what i can~

Felix has canon romantic relationships with most of the canon characters, and coincidentally only semi-canon with all the ocs, that aren't his family ofc. The OCs, and ENA, are at crush level only, not together. Brookie and Cassi have currently one-sides crushes on Felix.

kind of a duh, but Felix has 3 kids at...some point in time. Jules, Scarlette, and Saige.

most of said ships are simply at the boyfriends stage; with the exception of Volo muse; him and Felix have a kid on the way post PLA. been too lazy to write that. despite them being me as a mun's idea, the other muse always falls first, due to being either super friendly, or obsessed™️. It typically takes Felix a year to fall for somebody on his own, though this may be reduced now thanks to HRT.

Amadeus is Felix's father, and his parents are Sylvia and Socrates; they're members of a nomadic fae clan, which discovered pokemon breeding, and keeps myths close. Amadeus is secretly like 200 something and Felix has no idea.

As for revisions? well, Vanillabean, Felix's pikachu, doesn't really have a canon design. He's from kanto and may have a cream belly and points like raichu, has cosplay abilities, but might also be lighter-furred like a pichu. we just don't know, all we know is that he has pomeranian-bunny-cat energy. in a mouse. fucka you-

Felix's splatoon verse is currently pending a surname, due to the way i tag verses.

Amadeus may be better off being female and a pokemom but. eh. Felix's parents are honestly what the fuck ever. All we know for sure is that he didn't leave on a journey until 18, and was disallowed to even catch pokemon until then, only obtaining 3 until gen 5 (pikachu, togepi, spinda.) Other canons have been considered as relatives, including Tulip and Briar.

Amadeus and Socrates are actually based on canon characters from PMD. Felix's Arceus is intended to be the same one for every verse, omnipresent. One of the reasons they trust him is also, PMD.

Saige, Felix's youngest daughter, grows up to be a bit of a fashionista. Her trademark growing up is the way she scream-laughs; she's pretty loud in general and screams with small provocation until she's a teenager.
