Entrega para Ilyian! Como dizer eu te amo em japones

[stars4krios]

Some DPCU sleep headcanons!!

- Ilyian tries to help everyone sleep but gets fucking tackled by SB every time he tries

- I imagine Ilyian with a giant blonde Afro, like giant, like reaches his knees & takes up most of his silhouette giant so he has a comically large bonnet for it

- Ilyian never seems to be fully rested, like he's never quite 100% even if he's slept 8 hours, or slept more than that he's just always a little tired (he has very cute yawns)

- Ilyian is really cuddly, like he's will curl into you and hold you close to him. He will be the reason you don't want to get out of bed in the morning

- Samiel has a long night routine to match his even longer morning one. Like he puts rollers in his hair, does a face mask, does thoese eye thingys, puts a fuck ton of oils on his face, and probably even more than that! This man is a diva!!!!

- Samiel is also quite cuddly but more in the he won't let you go if you have to get up for water in the middle of the night type of way. You won't get out of bed in the morning not because you want to stay in bed but because Samiel won't let you!

- Micheal is the pillow, like this man is giant of course he is!

- Micheal is a heavy sleeper, like heavy, he'd sleep through a battle if Ilyian wasn't such a light sleeper and woke him up

- Micheal naturally rises with the Sun

- while Samiel wakes up just before the Sun not because he wants to but because it's that or wake up with the bright Sun blaring in his eyes

- SB has a night routine that's mainly just him curling every single one of his curls perfectly, like he does it all evenly and theres like 10 lose hairs tops, no one knows how he does it

- SB is a late riser, he enjoys being woken up by the sunlight shining in his eyes

- Custodian somehow manages to be awake before Samiel, like you'll get out of bed expecting to be the only one awake but The Custodian is just over there making tea

- Custodian is a light sleeper not because they want to be but because when they were taking care of lil Sammy & Zazzy they had to wake up at like 3am to comfort them or deal with the "Custodian.. We threw up..", basically motherly instincts

- Zazriel doesn't sleep.

- fr tho i don't think he sleeps after his ascension but before it he'd be up at some odd hour of the night reading with a flash light (or lantern? I don't think they have flashlights in the DPCU-)

Fuck it, tumblr exclusive Dpcu headcannons (sleep edition!)

Samiel has the most intensive sleep routine that has even more steps than his moring routine.

Samiel also sleeps in the fanciest and extragent robe ever.

SB sleeps only in his boxers.

Samiel and Sb are so fucking codependent on one another now they have a very hard time falling asleep without the other (Sb just has trouble sleeping alone in general ever since the war I heaven)

Ilyian is almost completely silent when he sleeps (a habit he built up over the last thousand years)

Micheal will fall asleep at like 8 pm. The earliest he's ever gone to bed was 6. (He is not a night person)

The custodian occasionally has nightmares themself (normally revolving arius), and they just stay up after them.

Samiel mumbles in his sleep, and it is the cutest thing ever (semi cannon! Atlest when he's drunk, lol)

Sb runs extremely warm and kicks blankets off of him while he sleeps so he doesn't overheat

Micheal is the biggest cuddlebug. If he falls asleep next to someone, they will be grabbed and can not leave until he wakes up.

Samiel runs cold and requires all the heat he can get while sleeping (he doesn't mind being cold while he's awake. He's used to it)

The custodian will kick someone if they try and touch them while they are asleep (they have zero recollection of it afterwards.)

Sb is so used to wearing their glasses that when he wakes up, he is incredibly confused about why the world looks so blurry until someone points out he isn't wearing his glasses

Ilyian (who has very long hair that's normally up in a bun) will either let his hair down to sleep or braid it.

Ilyian is a very light sleeper!

Et fin!:) (No zazzy this time)

I am incredibly curious about your world building for fics. In The New Keith Route you mentioned Valem. I'm wondering if you would mind expanding on it a bit? If you want :)

I'd love to!

I focus mostly on consistency when it comes to my world building. Usually I'd stick more to canon countries, but I was halfway through writing this story, somewhere in the midsummers chapters, when the pirate game came out and I caught up with Cezar Dahl in the light novels.

But I had already mentioned a couple of cultures, so I stuck with referencing those as the story progressed. Although Madam Taelin was going to be an unspecified "Torenese" woman from Lorna, but I changed her to being from Ethenell since I really wanted to have a black female dressmaker take on Sophia's unique coloring, and also be in a wealthy enough position to be generous.

Valem had scattered mentions throughout the story, more than the other places. Nicol has visited Valem once before with his father, we learn when the Ascarts have their city date. When Katarina teases Keith about remembering Maria's favorite food, he goes "I can remember all the queens of Valem for classes, of course I can remember what food Maria likes" as his oh so perfect defense.

These two details from early in the story tell you two things. Valem has close ties with Sorcerie if the Prime Minister goes for visits and brings his son. And Valem is a likely somewhat Matriarchal if Keith is memorizing their Queens for classes. Also indicating a close enough tie that their history is important enough to the nobles of sorcerie.

When Katarina is looking at the ships with the Ascarts, they identified a woman from Valem based on the style of her dress. The cultures aren't so mixed that they share the same styles, but they are familiar enough that even the less fashionable (though reading oriented) Katarina and Sophia know where the style is from.

That's all I mention about Valem until Mary's resolution.

I knew Mary was going to have to leave the country pretty early in writing the story. She was going to poison Geordo since, like, the golem slaying arc. (A wonderful suggestion from my sister when I was info-dumping about my plans for the fic) And once she crossed that line, she'd recognize that she was out of hand and need a break from Katarina that she couldn't go back on. It would also make Katarina react to her friend being 'exiled', which I wanted.

But I didn't decide where she was going to go until after the midsummer's arc. My options were:

Gaul: Nicol wants to go there for some cool wind mage shenangins and archeological sites. Speak a different language. High tensions with Ilyian (Prime Minister didn't spend much time with kids over break trying to soothe over the Gaul and Ilyian delegations).

Monia: Volcanic Islands. Katarina is fond of them because they might be like Japan and bountiful the way tropical islands tend to be. A noble at the Claes ball has a greenhouse that grows plants from Monia.

Bai: Sophia wants to go there because rich folk lore and possible magical creatures.

Lorna: People there are darker skinned, Cezar, close neighbors to Gaul.

Gaul would have been harder for Mary with a language barrier, war tensions, and she wouldn't be drawn to the same things Nicol was on her own.

Monia would be hard because everywhere would be a reminder of Katarina and how much Katarina wanted to go there.

Ethenell also wasn't Mary's scene. They had too many issues with royal family political tensions and I just don't see her and Cezar meshing well.

Bai and Lorna I just hadn't mentioned as much, didn't have as much of an idea for their cultures.

But Valem. Since I wrote it as a matriarchy, I always kinda imagined Valem Queens had female harems in the past, usually a mix of their friends and/or lovers, nobody's business which was which. Valem had a close enough relationship to Sorcerie and no set mentions of political turmoil.

Sorcerie is rather egalitarian for having such strict ideas of gender roles, likely because noble women have had magic they can use to crush men if they get too stressed. But Luigi and Dan have very equal relationships with their wives, and the recent penance King Owen has had to make to show that he was different than his father. This change has actually brought Sorcerie and Valem closer in recent years.

Despite the narrative showing no particular danger or stigma to m/m or f/f relationships, Mary herself has had to hide her sexuality to some extent because of her engagement to Prince Alan and because Katarina is really, really slow and Mary couldn't risk outing herself to early because Katarina might reject her on principal rather than based on her true feelings. Because Katarina's dumb as rocks sometimes.

I had this matriarchy sitting in the back of the details of this story, with non-straight relationships as a norm. It would be a place Mary wouldn't have to hide her sexuality. It would be a place where Mary wasn't inherently below a male of higher status, like her reincarnation dream said she hated, and a place where women were expected to be politically savvy as evidenced by the history of female rulers.

And since it's outside of Sorcerie, it has a lot less magic users. But since Valem works closely with Sorcerie, in the past, the queens sometimes took consorts from Sorcerie nobility, bringing magical talent into their royal family, affirming and reinforcing their status as royalty. Mary would be special there, not second best. Learning that she doesn't have to exist in someone else's shadow or scrape and fight for recognition/affection, that's going to do her a world of good.

Mary's most interesting arc has always been giving her everything she wanted, and watching as she has to learn how to stop fighting now that there's nothing else to claim. I don't think she can, not easily. If Katarina fell into her arms and said she wanted to be with Mary forever, Mary would turn all her focus from obtaining Katarina to protecting the relationship, attacking anyone who got close and flaunting it over the others. She and Katarina would have to really work at slowing Mary down and turning her brutal work ethic elsewhere.

I don't think I'm the person to write that story, straight white girl that I am. I struggled writing Mary every time in this fic. But I like to think that Mary goes to Valem and ends up with the things she's always wanted. Affection from a sunny, happy girl that appreciates her, knows her, and is not bound by sorcerian societal ideas of womanhood. A sister that apologizes and tries to mend their relationship. Somewhere she can be smart and ruthless and be admired for it, and at the same time be somewhere she doesn't always have to be on the lookout and ready to seize the slightest opportunity to get ahead.

Let Mary stop wearing 20 lbs of silver and gold coins, secreted in her dress, for the moment she might convince Katarina to run away. Let her put that burden down and wear a summer dress, smudged with dirt, and let her be unsure if the sun is brighter, or the smile of the girl beside her.

His Uncle

     An elderly man, about 72 years old rolls up in his wheelchair to the Soviet Soldiers exhibit at the museum of natural history.

     This man is at the museum with his daughter that's 41 years old and his wife.

      "What are you looking at?" His daughter asked.

         "Ilyian?" His wife called.

         With a big grin on his face Ilyian pointed at the exhibit labeled as 'General Nikolai "Scarred-Nose" Akim Sidorenko XIII' saying, "That's my uncle."

-

Even though Akim, Ilyian's uncle, died when Ilyian was about three, I'd like to believe he still remembers Akim.

- They ask the bleak guard very detailed questions about you and Samiel's history together. Very. Detailed.

- Sometimes they call you and Ilyian into their room just to share gossip

- They wear these

Custodian Headcanons

- Ok but they definitely dyed their hair grey to look old I can't wait for the drawing

- Custodian's walking stick has a lance or some kinda blade inside of it and uses it to cut weeds

- They once cooked food with Michael and Samael's weapons and is waiting for the right time to tell them

- Excited for any gossip and/or blackmail that they could use against the brothers

- Custodian, sweet boy, and Ilyan are besties and you all make flower crowns together

- you teach Custodian how to make them

- Will sing inappropriate songs as they clean

- Remembers your altar rune poem ( also Samael and Michael's but they won't admit it )

- They will do anything to bring you and Samael closer

- Custodian will plan out a surprise for the two of you and be hiding in the bushes terribly somewhere ( Ilyan might join if he's not busy with Michael )

Feel free to add more or write a scenario about one of these lol
