[mercless]

i would like to know more about hn talon's feathery ailment ... is it their demonic nature clashing with the angelic blood that is resulting in their worsening condition ? is there a reason why it is specifically feathers / bird-likeness as opposed to anything else ( i.e. would other demons undergo similar transformations if they also got contaminated with angel blood ) ? can you share more about how you envision the progression and prognosis ? will it kill them or will there be some sort of final stage of their transformation ( whether that's a bad thing because it only gets worse and worse , or a good thing because maybe now that it is complete , they won't be in as much pain and discomfort 🥺 ) ? is it at all affected by whatever they're doing / thinking / feeling / experiencing ( tamagotchi talon ... ) ? what do they do to manage their condition ? does it make them self-conscious or feel badly about their physical appearance ?

"-But it looks like the angels ain't done with you."

I don't recommend that anyone ingests angel blood (good thing that's a difficult thing to do these days) but I wouldn't want to definitively say how it works for anyone else either. and I think it makes sense if talon isn't too sure either, with not meeting anyone else in a similar predicament as they (yet... will get to this later) but say if it were another angel Talon had attacked and drank the blood of, I believe they would still be having similar symptoms, as angels are quite feathery beings (varus with his arm of feathers, irelia with her wings and other choicely placed feathers.) But the particular angel they stole from has had a specific impact on just how the blood has changed them.

The reason for their worsening condition is because the blood has a powerful influence, like an undiluted acid. And it is so dramatic of an change because this influence is the polar opposite to their demonic existence. The more that Talon fights against the changes, the less symbiotic the blood and their demonic nature melds, the more violent and painful the experience is for them. And without any interference either with understanding or other experiences, I see it as a bitter, drawn-out struggle. Just wallowing in fatalism until Talon is nothing more than an unrecognisable pile of bile, blood, and feathers that tore itself apart...

Fortunately for them, the more Talon interacts with their rotting world and the people (and creatures) also struggling in it, the more they will come to terms with their own potential, and reflect on how they can be something more than what they once were. Learning that they don't have to let their worst action define their existence. More than just accepting what they did, and putting in the effort to understand emotions and how to be an active part of life, will mean they are not stubbornly fighting against their affliction. This will increase the speed of it's progression, but also be far less painful of an experience since they won't be actively fighting against it. When Talon is unable to call upon any of their demonic abilities anymore, the physical changes of the affliction will be complete, but they will continue to learn and better themself in an attempt to make up for all the wrong and pain they have caused in their existence. I can picture this happening in two or three decades time, in which there is no longer any hellfire, brimstone or summoned weapons. Talon is no longer a demon, but maybe by then they'll also know if the powers that be would accept a malformed, inexperienced, makeshift samaritan as a stand-in. But that's a hopeful thought, thinking they'll live that long.

Going back to the symptoms of the affliction. Previously, Talon's form was one of shadow and brimstone, and they were able to phase in and out of being corporeal at will. Over time, this ability has been weakened - only able to vanish as a shadow for a moment at a time. Brimstone skin was made brittle until it fell away to soft flesh, hollow bone, and hair. Feathers have begun sprouting through this softer skin too, mostly across their left shoulder, arm and chest, but are beginning to sprout along their throat too. Talon used to pull them out by hand, but has forfeited the fight. Back to the left arm, a sort of carapace has begun to form over their left hand, along the thumb's metacarpal and back of the hand in layers of grey ash and weathered gold. This and the growth of the feathers is very similar to Varus' - the angel in which Talon killed and drunk the blood of - own feathers and angelic arm. But without any of the matching powers, it is a far less grand sight.

Although still considerably hot to the touch, Talon's core temperature has drastically lowered compared to the past. Whatever organs of malice and bile a demon has have made way for a growth in their chest, helping pump the foul angelic blood and pesky emotions around their body routinely, and push out more of their demonic essence every day, little by little. With this, it has already made their demonic powers incredibly weakened. Previously Talon also used to be able to disintegrate bodies with a slice of their hellish blades, but they just do not run hot enough anymore. The final physical symptom are their eyes. Once filled with hellfire, it is far more likely nowadays to see their extinguished, golden-brown irises instead. It is slightly controllable with their emotional state, or when using their powers though.

In other ways, the blood has made Talon far more empathetic, given them a conscience. Troubled with how their actions will effect others now, the suffering and cruelty of the world has become a pain all it's own. Dulling the delight in spreading fear and even disturbing the once simple exchange of souls, Talon is often contemplating their next course of action instead of only giving thought to their best interests. And how their previous, often violent actions, have caused so much.

The agony and illness of coughing up feathers and demonic bile leaves talon haggard and frail. Getting sleep and relaxation would help the most, but with their paranoia it is difficult for them to find places to fully lower their guard and properly rest. Talon's tried to get a room in the crossroad saloon before, but it's... never really worked out (Gragas doesn't let them). Hating and damning the ailment only makes it worse, since it's basically like trying to separate themself from something that has already been mixed in. Feathers get stuck in their many teeth, skin itches from keratin growing in. Fatigue and sensitivity to their own heartbeat. Talon tries their best to hide the majority of their symptoms. Their coughs and exhaustion are the most obvious.

For how the changed made by the affliction is making talon feel... I'm going to paraphrase from a previous message;

I say its dysmorphic but the more I think about it, it's also… having your health decline and your body changing along with it, at least with talons perspective right now since they're losing their demonic powers. dysphoric in the way that they're still holding on to the thought that this isn't what they're supposed to be, they're Supposed to be a being of shadow and hellfire not flesh and bone, let alone feathers and sympathy. so I want it to be much more about accepting that this is their body now moreso than finding a way to reverse the changes. That it's okay to change with age and wisdom as you open yourself up more to the world.

At this time, Talon misses being completely monstrous, of being frightening and having that implicit respect. They feel weaker than they really are because they continue to compare themself to the long-gone height of their power, and because their new physical changes make them feel vulnerable. Being constantly exhausted also doesn't help with any of this. Beyond this though, the only other thing they don't like about these changes is just that; it's different. The uncanny features still don't feel like that that's who they are, and there is this disconnect when others react to them, or comment on their looks.

poses I don't know, maybe Talon just needs some sort of big motivation to no longer see this affliction as a curse, but as an opportunity to be more than a demon that skulks in the shadows. And some encouragement that yes, that is in fact a good thing. Maybe like an ultimatum of some sorts.

Ah! Alrighty. Well, is it ok if you do one where the dorm leaders reacting to the reader coming out as Aroace? kinda had a bad day lol

Hmmmm...bad day, huh? Sorry about that, hopefully this post will make it better!

(Please comment some support for anon and anyone else Aroace!! WE LOVE YOU IN A STRICTLY PLATONIC WAY!)

100 follower event Masterlist

🧡💛🤍💙

Tw: none that I know of, lmk!

Pairing(s): Riddle, Leona, Azul, Kalim, Vil, Idia, Malleus x gn reader coming out to them as aroace (separate) (platonic)

He never worried much of others relationships, if you love someone then you love them, if you don’t then you don’t

His reaction to you telling him you are aroace is casual, the most you get is a supportive nod and smile of understanding

He doesn’t ask questions, thinking it might make you uncomfortable, but he will ask for clarification every now and then if he brings up something he thinks may be offensive

Definitely understands what it’s like to not be accepted, especially if it’s a family circumstance, and will do something with you to help get your mind off of it

Usually ends in a competitive friendly game of croquet, just hanging out with the hedgehogs, or a cup of tea and some sweets/snacks

He doesn’t think much when people come out to him; in his mind, you should just be yourself and not have to worry about others who make it a big deal

If it really means that much to you, he’s understanding and will ruffle your hair like “you go, champ, I’m proud of you”

May sound a bit mean, but he’s trying to be supportive, he’s just forcing past his pride (ehehehe) at the same time

If you bring up anything that he doesn’t understand, he’ll ask so he can at least understand what you’re talking about

Thinks the aroace flag looks really cool, the color scheme reminds him a bit of a desert at sunset

He finds you a very dear friend, to him it is wonderful that you’re coming out and living as your best self

He’ll ask a lot about the aroace awareness week so he can learn about it and start celebrating it in the Mostro

From there it inspires him to learn the dates for all of the awareness weeks, Mostro is full pride support and awareness now!

Likes to learn new things and ask questions about your identity

Hangs an ally flag behind the main desk in the Lounge

Sweet boi support™, he wants to throw you a party to celebrate you coming out!

Jamil asks Trey for an ULTIMATE COLLAB to make EPIC food and cupcakes that have aroace flag colored icing (I wanna make pride cupcakes now but I’m not good at making decorative icing 😩)

It’s non-negotiable, so if you don’t want a lot of people ask him to just invite your friends-

He may be big on parties, but it’s one he’s throwing for you so your wishes will be met, full stop

Starts having pride parties, really appreciates that you found another way to fuel this party-holic’s heart XD

Loves you dearly and wants the best for you, so of course he’s supportive when you tell him you’re aroace!

Puts a post on Magicam (leaves you anonymous if you wish) and asks that the comments support you

Anytime you need support, he’s definitely one to go to; he can be strict but it’s all in a loving manner

Helps you do makeup looks, if you’re into that, and outfit ideas that are your colors

Inspires him to do a pride makeup lookbook on Magicam

He doesn’t really know how to react, but he definitely tries to be supportive to the best of his ability

He’s never had a friend come out to him, so he’s honored but not sure what to say

He’ll probably just be like, “O-Oh..that’s cool..! I’m happy for you- um…..wanna play some games?”

He’s doing his best, promise, and will do a looot of research into it when he’s alone

Becomes an expert in the subcategories, definitions, flag history, etc overnight

I don’t think he’ll know what it is by name, but I’m sure he’s met people like you before

He asks you to clarify what it means, and if you’re okay, but is very understanding once you explain it to him

The regular in asking questions when you bring up stuff about your identity

There are subcategories? You have a flag?? What are they? What does it look like?

I see him as the one completely decked out in aroace stuff in a pride event, just to support you (very random one, but I just see him chilling with colored sunglasses in an aroace color scheme with the flag tied around his shoulders and holding like..food for your group or something lolol)

name: hams

age: over 18

mutual understanding(!?)! please read up everything from my muse so there won’t be repetitive questions as we plot. i understand clarification questions (sometimes i could pass by some stuff and like i don’t make sense lmao but i promise i revised!), but i’ve had people in the past that asked questions that are clearly in my character’s about page. some things pass by our minds, we’re not perfect, but somethings are just right in front of your face and it can get frustrating. i will do the same for you!

extra note: i wrote this character in hopes to integrate your characters in his life, so the timeline in his about is not set in stone. i kinda just wrote it as a guideline for me to better grasp the character.

about: moon seowon

note: some of these points are better explained in his about page, so please read that as well! 

32 year old perfectionist. likes to be neat and keep things neat because everything else in his life and brain is a shit-storm.

inspector turned enforcer.

is a divorcee with a 4 year old daughter he will never interact with again because he doesn’t want her to know her father is a criminal and well his ex-wife don’t want him around anymore.

used to be a big believe in the system, but now he’s somewhat there still, but believes more in himself more to do the job rather than the system entirely bc it couldn’t even get the father that abused him and his mom after all these years like...????

a concussion when he was younger caused by his dad made little seowon forget (locked away in his brain), but after seeing his kid with his father, the dude just lost it. remembered his past, saw red, and beat his father v much.

found out he likes the thrill of hurting [bad] ppl??? so he channels his anger towards judo.

can get out of hand if he’s extremely invested on a case; would need to get shot probs since his anger easily takes over him lol...jk...?

is very kind once you get to know him. just doesn’t show much of what he’s feeling or thinking, but will show it through various ways. like if he sees you shivering, he’d probs get you a blanket or his jacket without saying much... that’s how considerate he is. c:

bad think is, when he talks, he has no filter and not in the way like he curses a lot (he doesn’t really), but like he will speak his mind and won’t pay much attention if it hurt you or offended you. he’s just stating the facts/thoughts/opinions.

thinks he’s a really bad boy guy and because of his twisted mind, he believes every other latent criminal is the similar in that danger spectrum.

has a habit of covering his mouth/looking away when he laughs or smiles widely. he doesn’t like his smile. so don’t make him smile... (please make him smile)

plot ideas

only for inspector: the person he goes to to accompany him to see his daughter.

someone that doesn’t trust him/scared of him(?) after seeing him go berserk in the past

someone that looks up to him despite his demotion and he’s just like.. why!??!?!

someone he spars with in judo~

someone that annoys him but still has an endearing relationship?

they don’t like each other for some reason but manage to work perfectly together?

idk! let’s brainstorm because i just wrote these and i’m eager to write!
