Mayncient Day 1: Introduction

Anthea, Creationist of Elpis // Constantinos, Assistant to Emet-Selch Deimos, Word of Lahabrea // Iris, Creation Follow Up

lore below the cut

Hi Hello and welcome! Have a little lore and details to my four ancients and where they started!

Anthea

They grew up on Elpis and followed, mostly, in their parent's footsteps in creating and researching concepts, where they differed was picking flora over fauna. Anthea had many a great idea and wanted to so desperately make something perfect worthy of the star but never could get their creations exactly how they wanted them and even when they could it could never be replicated in the exact same manner. It was an attempt to create a flower with rainbow edges that a stray thought gave birth to what would be dubbed the Elpis flower, the most life changing flora they had created.

Constantinos aka Conner

With a passion in the application of plants to the body in various forms, it was a surprise he wasn't sent to be a Word of Halmarut. Instead he found his post to becoming the assistant to the newest appointed Emet-Selch, though metaphorical guard dog was a more apt description at times. While not ideal Conner embraced the role and found his skills and detail orientated brain worked well with the seemingly random data brought up from the Aetherial Sea. It was through this job that he would meet all manner of people of the utmost importance to their society....and he never finds out that he was placed there as an attempted prank by Emet-Selch's brother Azem.

Deimos

Born and raised in Amaurot not far from his cousin Hades, Deimos was always a bit of an odd one. Always over excitable, had to be moving, and always had a million questions for his older cousin Hades. The two were raised closely to a point it was just easier to call one another brother, especially when Deimos' natural talent in magic and intelligence led to him skipping enough grades to soon share a classroom with Hades wherein soon the boys were always associated with one another. Once they were out in the world as adults, Deimos set to work on setting himself apart from his brother, finding a passion in the creation and process of doing so among the Words of Lahabrea. Still eccentric as ever Deimos would run the other Words that mentored him, when Lahabrea could not, ragged. It was after his latest suggestions on adding "cuteness and more fighting features" to someone's little fluffy transformation familiar that the Words pushed him onto the current Azem that was looking for assistance on their adventure. His out of the box thinking and fearlessness impressed Azem and had her taking him under her wing to become the next Azem.

Iris

She was always the honor student it was no surprise that she would end up in a class with a young Hades who was relieved to have a class without his brother or his best friend Hythlodaeus. As assigned partners though these two both had their own opinions on how things should be done and couldn't get along to start....that is until she defended his harshness of another student with a subtle harshness of her own that the two found they had much in common. Getting closer in the classes to follow where Hades was without his other two companions, they started a bit of a relationship that came to an end with the end of required schooling. Iris had a thirst for adventure and had always set her sights on following up on the creations released into the world, that Hades never wanted to stifle and she didn't want to stifle him and his plans that he had for his life. Staying in touch the best they could over the years it would take an AU for them to end up together.

↳ short mattheo riddle drabble based off the song “iris” by the goo goo dolls.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

and i’d give up forever to touch you

cause i know that you feel me somehow,

mattheo riddle never let himself feel anything other than hatred, until you came into his life. before you, he was just numb, nothing that pure rage and darkness. but with you, everything changed. he didn't need words or grand gestures, just being near you was enough to make him feel...something. it was like, for the first time, someone actually saw him. and the first time you touched him, when he let his guard down and let you in, something deep inside him shifted. you buried your face in his chest, and he froze, not knowing what to do. the only touch he’d ever known was violent and cruel, so he didn't know how to handle the soft, soothing way you held him. but once he gave in and wrapped his arms around you, he knew he’d give up everything for just one more second of this.

✩✩✩✩

you’re the closest to heaven that i’ll ever be

and i don’t wanna go home right now

everyone else saw mattheo as nothing but trouble, like he was born bad. darkness seemed to follow him everywhere, and he figured that was just how it was supposed to be. hell had probably been his destiny from the moment he was born. but then you came along. you, with your golden heart and warm soul, gave him a taste of something pure, something he knew he didn’t deserve. somehow, he had found his way into your life, into your heart, and for the first time ever, he understood what “home” meant. he never had a real home before, no place or person to run back to. but now, you were becoming that for him. his safe place, his shelter.

✩✩✩✩

and all i can taste is this moment

and all i can breathe is your life

and sooner or later it’s over

i just don’t wanna miss you tonight

mattheo wasn’t stupid. letting you in gave him hope, but deep down, he knew the truth. no matter how much he tried, he’d never be good enough for you. the connection you shared felt like a temporary dream, something that could disappear at any second. he promised himself he wouldn’t let anyone see him weak, but you made that impossible. the closer he got to you, the more he feared what would happen when it all fell apart. that’s just how he was, doubting everything, second-guessing every feeling. because he’d always been broken, and he couldn’t imagine anyone seeing past that. but with you, he wanted to try, even if it meant risking everything. because he found himself missing you everytime you weren’t around.

✩✩✩✩

and i don’t want the world to see me

cause i don’t think that they’d understand

when everything’s made to be broken

i just want you to know who i am

mattheo never cared about what the world thought of him. everyone saw him as ruined, a lost cause. they couldn’t understand the storm inside him, the pieces that never fit together quite right. he knew he was broken, and he had grown to accept that. but you saw through the cracks, past the sharp edges, and somehow, you still wanted to know him. he didn’t want to hide from you, didn’t want to pretend to be someone he wasn’t, but he didn’t understand why you stuck with him even after seeing his dark side. for the first time, he wanted to be seen. not as the person everyone else thought he was, but as the person he really was, deep down. he just wanted you to know him, the real him, the one who was scared, vulnerable, and maybe even a little bit hopeful. because in a world full of chaos and brokenness, you made him feel like he could be someone else, just for a moment.

Headcanons of how Cabins decorating a Sleepy Hypnos child's hair

Personally I believe that each Hypnos child has soft curly hair which makes it easy for other campers from other Cabins to decorate their hair out of boredom and it slowly becomes a competition between the cabins on which cabin does it the most and which style is their favorite, etc. and here's how each cabin can tell ~this was inspired by some IG reels and a post by @/clovis-enthusiast

**Side Note: I would say some staff of CHB join in to represent some gods to avoid any potential conflicts**

Cabin 1 -Zeus: gold metallic lighting bolts

Cabin 2- Hera: peacock feathers (I like to think Argus decided to represent her cabin and protect Hera's honor in a way)

Cabin 3- Poseidon: little orange starfishes (like the ones in the Aquamarine movie-2006) and seashells

Cabin 4- Demeter: wheat and flowers (they negotiated with the Aphrodite Cabin on which flowers- the ones that represent/symbolizes any type of love or have heart shapes-i.e. heart shaped forget me not flowers are only for the cabin 10 and ofc both cabins have a list of which type their cabins can use)

Cabin 5- Ares: plastic sword toothpicks and mini metal spike balls (which the cabin later had to change them to those spiky porcupine balls for safety because Chiron said so)

Cabin 6- Athena: owl feathers, olive branch crown, maybe ripped up papers with favorite quotes from books

Cabin 7- Apollo: guitar string flowers, ripped up papers with poems/ music lyrics, music note paper clips

Cabin 8- Artemis: silver little stars (they only participate when they visit CHB)

Cabin 9- Hephaestus: nuts and bolts, flowers made out of wires

Cabin 10- Aphrodite: butterfly/flower hair clips, bow hair clips, hearts, and flowers and honestly anything that the cabin sees that's fit and pretty (the cabin was also asked to tone it down just so to keep it fun for all cabins and ofc it's no surprise that this cabin goes all out)

Cabin 11- Hermes: wind-up chatter teeth toys or those fake insects

Cabin 12- Dionysus: grapevine floral crown with little grapes

Cabin 13- Hades: tiny skeleton heads

Cabin 14-Iris: little rainbow hair clips or anything rainbow related

Cabin 15- Hypnos: probably leftover pillow feathers if they're awake long enough

Cabin 16- Nemesis: mini balance scales (the Hephaestus cabin def helped make them just to ensure safety)

Cabin 17- Nike: laurel's leaves (Apollo cabin was nice to give this one up-also yes I did look up some symbols to represent each god/goddess)

Cabin 18- Hebe: tiny clay cups/mugs of any style

Cabin 19- Tyche: mini four leave clovers/ horseshoes (as she is the goddess of fortune, luck, and prosperity)

Cabin 20- Hecate: battery operated flashlights in shapes of torches

Random Ace Attorney head canons I have

(spoilers for AA1-5, haven't played the other games yet.)

The Payne's and the Edgeworth's are distant relatives, the Payne's don't know this, but Miles does, Miles does not enjoy this fact at all

Franziska and Kristoph do speak English with a German accent but, it's not super thick as they both practiced speaking English from young age

Klavier also learnt English from a young age but likes to exaggerate his accent and, say the occasional German word, because he thinks it makes him more sexy

Larry has rich snobbish parents who were super strict and neglectful, he never got along with them (being the class clown partly to rebel against them, and partly for fun) and moved out after dropping out of highschool

The Blackquills are British (I mean this is kinda canon cuz Simon is British coded but still wanna mention it)

Maya loves metal music and, often played her CDs really loud in the office on a slow day, during the events of AA1-3 (Phoenix didn't enjoy this, but knew stopping Maya wasn't worth it, especially when Peal was also in the office dancing with Maya to the music)

Trucy also likes mental thanks to Maya sending her some CDs for her 14th birthday, Phoenix refused to talk to Maya for a few months after this happened

Trucy and Pearl tried to get Apollo and Athena into metal, they failed

Lana and Iris are friends, they met each other in prison

Miles and Athena both enjoy having conversations (often about the law) with each other, due to them both being multilingual and therefore, being able to switch between languages on a whim with each other while maintaining a conversation

Jason Grace with the cabins

Cabin 1: Zeus. It's just him and Thalia because of the oath. Probably. Hopefully. Jason would be very protective of any younger siblings. He'd use his status as Champion of Juno to try and protect them from her wrath. It would work, for the most part.

Cabin 2: Hera. There isn't any children of Hera. He'd absolutely be chill with the 'adopted' children of Hera, though. Like the Iris cabin.

Cabin 3: Poseidon. Percy Jackson, baby. I don't believe they really compete over much unless its an actual competition or game. They work together just fine. Good friends, only gay sex as a joke. Any other children of Poseidon (that aren't supposed to exist either), Jason wouldn't really talk to. Percy would probably be too protective of them for Jason to have much to do with them.

Cabin 4: Demeter. The Demeter kids would always be asking him if he could change the weather for their gardens. He doesn't. He's too worried that if he tried it would get too out of hand and ruin their gardens. Some of them think the gesture is sweet. Others are more annoyed that he won't try. Cause he's literally the son of Jupiter, he should be able to control his powers. And he can. But he isn't risking it. They probably get along pretty well.

Cabin 5: Ares. The Ares kids are always challenging him to duels and asking to spar. He usually agrees, granted it's a friendly thing. They want to make their dad proud by defeating the son of Jupiter. They don't. Jason wins, and then gives them pointers. This makes them want to fight him more. If he thought it wasn't a friendly thing, he wouldn't fight them unless they actually attacked him. He'd always try to talk through the issue. Jason fully believes he isn't anyone special because his dad is the king of the gods. He thinks they want to spar with him because he genuinely is one of the best and most experienced fighters. Cause that's how Camp Jupiter is. Overall, they probably wouldn't get along well naturally. Zeus wasn't the biggest fan of Ares, so their kids wouldn't be inclined to be playmates or anything. But Jason would always try to work well with them.

Cabin 6: Athena. One of the best combinations. Jason and the Athena kids would be working together constantly. Sparring tips, doing research, teaching younger campers. Jason is built for leadership despite how much he never wanted it. Athena kids want to lead and earn their glory. He would absolutely support them on anything they decided.

Cabin 7: Apollo. I refuse to believe Jason died in TOA. It all happened, but he didn't die. Just no. The Apollo kids would be incredibly grateful for Jason not letting their dad die, especially after he actually started being a good dad. Jason would try to relax with the Apollo kids if he ever got a break. They'd all definitely be great friends.

Cabin 8: Artemis. Thalia Grace. Need I say more?

Cabin 9: Hephaestus. They'd love each other. Hephaestus was not treated great by Zeus and Hera at all. Jason would 100% try to make up for that. AND Jason always tried to befriend the outcasted kids. Hephaestus was one. Leo certainly loved Jason. The potential for Valgrace to be canon was insane. And the electricity. He could charge anything they made. He's strong too. Definitely able to hold up heavy machinery while they worked. He'd be amazing with the Hephaestus cabin.

Cabin 10: Aphrodite. Piper Mclean. Her siblings would love him. The younger Aphrodite kids would look up to Piper so much, so the fact that things ended 'amicably' between them would mean so much. Jason would be caught up on Piper for a long time, and would avoid the Aphrodite cabin for a while. But once he came around, he was there to stay. They were his siblings too, in his eyes. He'd steer them away from the whole rite of passage thing and encourage them to find the person they want to spend the rest of their life with. And he'd understand if they didn't. Jason was so sweet to them, but I can't image that he would date another child of Aphrodite.

Cabin 11: Hermes. Probably a pretty neutral thing. The Hermes kids tend to be tricksters and rule breakers, which Jason is not. He'd try to keep them in line, but he'd also want to maintain a good impression with them. He'd love to make friends with them. He had heard about Luke from Thalia, and he wouldn't forget that. Thalia did throw him off a cliff. But he would never hold Luke's betrayal against them.

Cabin 12: Dionysus. Jason wouldn't be a fan of the Dionysus cabin parties that were definitely against the rules. Dionysus let them happen anyway. The Dionysus kids would try to get Jason to let loose and forget about his responsibilities for a while. It didn't work, but he did appreciate their effort.

Cabin 13: Hades. NICO MOTHERFUCKING DI ANGELO. They're besties of course. If Bianca lived, she would like Jason purely because Nico liked Jason. I don't remember a lot about canon Bianca, but I can't imagine she would really be friends with Jason. Hazel and Jason were absolutely friends. She missed him when he went missing. And Jason always tried to befriend outcasts, and Hades wasn't considered an Olympian despite literally being the king of the underworld, and Nico was outcasted too much for literally no reason. (I love Nico.) Jason would be great with the Hades cabin.

Cabin 14: Iris. Jason briefly met Butch Walker. It wasn't much of anything. The Iris cabin would love Jason. Hera absolutely adores children of Iris because their mother is her personal messenger. Jason is the champion of Juno. So of course being loved by the queen of the gods would put them together too often. They would make pride flags and hold them up to him, silently asking if he's queer. He doesn't understand what they're doing. Genuinely clueless. He just praises their work. Awesome pride flags.

Cabin 15: Hypnos. Jason and the Hypnos kids. With Jason's PTSD induced insomnia, what better combination? They would absolutely be willing to help him sleep at night. The problem isn't even nightmares, he just cannot fall asleep. The Hypnos cabin would let him sleep in there at any time. And Jason would do anything in return. He takes any gesture of kindness towards him very very seriously. He would do anything for the Hypnos kids.

Cabin 16: Nemesis. Mutual respect. The Nemesis kids respect Jason so much. They can sense that he's done so much good and so many bad things have happened to him AND HE'S STILL A GOOD PERSON. They look up to him so much. They have a lot of adoration or maybe even obsession with this man. Jason respects them in turn. He appreciates how they want justice, they want everyone to be equal, and everyone has to follow the rules. They work incredibly well together. The Nemesis kids can link up their powers with an ally so they're in perfect balance during a fight, and holy shit do they do that with Jason. Jason and the Nemesis cabin is unstoppable. Jason by himself is unstoppable (HE DID NOT DIE I SWEAR), so the Nemesis kids being able to put themselves on par with him is insane. But they cannot spar with each other. The Nemesis kids know that Jason deserves to get revenge more than anybody they've ever met (and Percy, Annabeth, Leo, etc.). They just cannot fight against him under any circumstances. They would let him beat them every single time. He would get very frustrated that they wouldn't even try.

Cabin 17: Nike. Honestly, not the best relationship at camp. Definitely not the worst though. Nike kids tend to believe there can only be one victor and that life is an individual game, no teams. Jason wants everyone to win together. Equality amongst everyone. And the Nike kids 100% stand a chance against Jason. They can influence the outcome of any competition, so the chances of them beating Jason in anything skyrocket. But they also know that when it comes to survival they have to work together. They do tend to push in favor of Jason then. But usually, it's the Nike kids VS. Jason Grace. And Jason just wants peace between them.

Cabin 18: Hebe. The Hebe cabin practically worships Jason. They always wanted a relationship with someone like their mother's husband. And Hebe married Heracles, son of Zeus. So when Jason showed up to camp, they got all fancy and fawned over him. Though they did the same thing with Thalia. Jason was not a fan of the attention. He never wanted to be a leader. So when all these attractive, young demigods start begging for his attention, he felt really awkward. And he was raised at Camp Jupiter, where they value skill over parentage greatly. He did not like getting attention because of who his dad was. He wanted to prove himself through his skill. He did not want to be his father. He spends a lot of time avoiding the Hebe cabin, but he is always polite when he can't.

Cabin 19: Tyche. Jason is on relatively good terms with the Tyche cabin. The Tyche kids do have an illegal gambling room set up in their cabin, which Jason is not very happy about. He doesn't try to stop them though. Their ability to give people chronic bad luck stops people from reporting it. And Mr. D doesn't care anyways. If Chiron shut it down, he'd just help them set it back up. The Tyche kids do admire Jason because somehow he's managed to survive for so long. Abandoned by his mother, raised by wolves, was a child soldier his entire life. They figured their mother must like him if he's survived that long, so they like him too.

Cabin 20: Hecate. Half of the Hecate kids like him, and the other half don't. It's mostly the judgey ones that don't like him. The ones that do like him look up to his power and skill and status. They are the Hecate kids that accept Hazel as their own sibling. The ones that don't like him think he isn't very powerful for a son of Jupiter and is weaker than them. They also typically are the ones that are jealous of Hazel for being their mother's favorite. Hecate kids typically use their powers to enhance other camper's powers. They can lend their magic to others to have a greater effect. They do this with Jason. He works well with the Hecate kids when they're willing to.

Blanche introducing her mother while she was in different form made me think of a hc:

Demigods always recognize their parents when they are in different forms. For example:

Annabeth and Percy: *casually walking on the street*

Annabeth: *suddenly shocked* There is my mom! *starts running to an Indian lady*

Percy: What- Wait no *running after her*

Annabeth: *hugging the Indian lady* Mom, what are you doing here?

Percy: Excuse me ma'am *apologetically to the lady, trying to take Annabeth away* she has been through a lot in this last months-

Lady: What are you saying, Perseus? *hugging Annabeth back*

Percy: Wtf-

Sonic’s ears are so floppy because of the speed

Sonic also has pretty bad hearing

WOOOO I LOVE THAT OMG

I can imagine sonic having a bad sense of hearing because of the fact that either one of two things:

One, he's going so fast that he doesn't perceive sounds well.

Or two, he goes so fast that the sounds hit his eardrum and leave him deaf LOL

You can view part 2 of my Van zieks family headcanons here:

[decodedlvr]

Don’t think about you and Eddie in your mid 30s’, your little baby is sound asleep in her crib, you’re in the kitchen stirring the sauce for tonight’s pasta

hair in a messy bun, chipped nails, in a pair of Eddie’s sweats and a bleach stained covered shirt minding yourself

until Eddie comes up to hold you from behind, swaying you both to the melody of Iris, him singing in your ear with such passion and rasp—

“And I'd give up forever to touch you

'Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be—

And I don't want to go home right now

—And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am”

You smile sadly, unknowingly your tears are drenching your face and neck, thinking of that memory

because he’s not there. he died years ago, but you still feel him. you still see him in those big, brown eyes of your little girl who’s staring at you from the kitchen table

“You ok mama?”

“Yeah baby, I’m alright” you nod quickly, sniffling, drying your tears with the collar of your shirt, plating your meals to sit at the table, “Was just thinking about—

“Daddy?”

You look at her fondly, rubbing the side of her face, “Yeah, I was thinkin about daddy. You know he loved this song”

“I know.”

You stare at his empty placemat internally voicing “I love you”, meanwhile Eddie’s right there, staring right back at you with that same wide beautiful smile

“I love you too sweetheart.”

Yeah, you’re crying aren’t you? I told you not to think about it.

[scp-ao3-author]

I'm going to confess something to you guys.

I think about Meri and Iris being a couple and Clef hating it way more than you think.

Clef:

Hates Type Greens.

Is a Type Green

Has been emotionally destroyed from being contained, potentially mistreated by The Foundation.

Works his ass off to keep his daughter safe and comfortable in the foundation the best he can, even if he can't be near her.

Had to watch iris, a Type Green, go through tremendous amounts of mistreatment as well.

(So Leave Yourself Alone)

Probably tries so hard to prevent anyone in The Foundation from ending up like him, is not great at that.

(Wait this is giving me some ideas to touch down on with Edison and Clef... later...)

Meri:

Grew up disconnected from who her family was, raised religiously, still struggles internally with wanting to find out who they are.

Church probably walked on eggshells over who her father was.

Definitely can see her getting frustrated from "Well. your father is The Lord. We are all gods children and he is The One True Father" her whole life. Definitely has a bit of a temper as a result. (It's not mood swings. She just gets irritated by things like that and literally nobody respects that she doesn't like it, so she's just constantly at her limit for that kind of stuff.)

Ends up in The Foundation, feels even more isolated because the people that DID raise her are now gone.

Magically starts getting the stuff she requests.

Horrified by her father's actions after getting the note.

Probably had to internalize but does that passive aggressive, "Well. you can still ask for forgiveness in the eyes of The Lord" to him if she does talk to him. (Side note: Clef growing up with religion shoved down his throat- hearing it from his own daughter probably hurts him too)

Probably finds herself getting closer to Iris at some point or another.

Gets irritated that her dad decides to start wedging himself into her life after spending so long away. ESPECIALLY if he decides that he can just do one or two things and then decide he earned his keep being her dad. No! That's not how it works.

This pressure definitely would get to her.

This probably pisses of Light too.

Iris:

Gets thrown around as a Foundation punching bag for her abilities

The shit with Able

Constantly breaking down, probably feels burdened by her anomaly because of what pain it has brought her, yet remains close to it because it has helped her.

Asshole Hawaiian Shirt Gremlin Wont Leave Her Be (she doesn't know he's looking after her because he's terrible at expressing that.)

Girl gets a fucking break for once in her life to get a partner and immediately the Asshole Hawaiian Shirt Gremlin wedges into it.

Tries SO HARD not to let Clef influence her personality- ends up becoming just like him in a small little fucked up way. (Not exactly, just a bit.)

Clef seems like the guy who overall cares about both of them, yet at the same time is emotionally shit at expressing this.

He would definitely be stressed that he is watching a Type Green date his daughter, but it's also been 30 years past the Ichabod Campaign or maybe more, and I am heavily subscribed to Author Clef's idea that Alto is the kind of man who has grown past what he suffered from and knew way back then.

He can see past the fact that it's not just any type green, its IRIS. But at that point, if he's projecting his own problems, then wouldn't he then question if he is worthy of being loved?

But he would shut that thought down. He would definitely cram it away where nobody else can see. At the same time the problem still arises:

Someone that he holds close because of his own shortcomings is dating his daughter.

His daughter is dating someone that could potentially be good for her.

But his daughter is also dating someone who fits the same demographic that he was raised to believe would be abusive.

He would probably be forced to handle the fact that they are in fact happy, yet still handling his anxiety and fear that it will go wrong.

Even if he doesn't explicitly say it, he might police them- or try. I think it would be fitting actually if Light stepped in for this, even if she doesn't do well with handling Meri or Iris directly, she can still step in to handle an annoying Clef.

I can also see him more likely to get into a verbal argument with Light over this (not Meri) and eventually having to handle his stuff VIA Glass.

I do think Meri and Iris are happy together, but having Clef does create a tension that can't be cut, especially considering how he probably knows Iris better than he knows Meri...

Which would make it way more awkward.

Their attempts to try to shove Clef away for some air or privacy would seem suspicious, but in all reality he's just trying too hard.

It could be entirely possible that it's tense for a very long time, Clef could even attempt to threaten Iris, considering how he is the kind of guy to let people get close but still pull the trigger if The Foundation ordered- but it would fall flat.

The Foundation doesn't WANT Iris dead. He doesn't either. He just wants them both to be safe- and doesn't realize that when together they ARE SAFE.

He could easily grow to let it happen with time, and as the years pass, that little knot in his chest of disapproval shrinks. The more it goes away the more he backs off, and the closer Meri and Iris have at being together. And the more his disapproval shrinks.

I like the idea that Meri does have to handle some of her own sexuality crisis during all of this too. (I am subscribed to the idea she is Ace, but romantically attracted to women)

She is definitely mad at Clef, but maybe she is offered the idea of letting him get close- She already knows he has no regrets for what he's done. He's accepted that he won't be going to heaven for his actions in her eyes.

At the same time- maybe she isn't raised as the aggressive gay-hating christian that needs to make everyone convert. Maybe she was raised by chill Christians.

I guess it just depends on one's headcanon though.

[malamilkbeats]

I haven't written in a long time, but the Pink Corruption made me want to write a short bit about an OC and something silly about Pentellow, Iris and the group. I'm posting it on AOx3. I'm not saying a damn thing./lh

This is my OC, Concavex, btw. She/they, 21 y/o. Bi as heck. A nervous wreck, but they're sweet. She's not a shape who fights, though. Their specialties are telepathy and levitating over a short amount of time. They play the violin and dance.

Just a musician, touring for her performances. They are an orange dork and fails horribly trying to hide it.

Poor Cube has no idea what the hell those three are on about. What's the big deal about liking Twilight Sparkle?

Another art piece of my pre BG1-2 headcanon which again was inspired by BG3 Bhaal Temple. I wonder how this place looked like in it's former glory.

My bhaalyn characters who lived before and during Time of Troubles, elven lass is my BG1-2 protagonist's mother.

What would they have wanted me to be?

Never lonely.

The tragically poetic irony of this line to lock into Emmrich's romance is perhaps lost on him. I'm not sure he ever really thought further into the implications of what lichdom well and truly means in this aspect. Does Rook? Is that why they chose this line because it's heartbreaking. This morning I was thinking about what this line might imply in relation to our favorite gentleman necromancer's ultimate ambitions.

Never lonely.

Putting aside the whole decision to revive Manfred or have Emmrich become a lich (because how could any of them have known it would come down to this), this is what he has been pursuing, his ultimate goal for years--carefully calculated, researched with complete footnotes, every "i" dotted with every "t" crossed. But what does this mean for him and his eternal soul? In lichdom he might shed his skin, but at the heart of him, his soul--the thing which makes Emmrich who he is--is still intact. The decision is shortsighted, and in his immense fear of death, there was no way for him to see past to the real horror which would emerge. How could he have foreseen it?

Vorgoth, the other liches, and a constant influx of new Watchers, students, all flow by him fleetingly despite the fact that they are always there. He is never alone at least physically. Information and mysteries, curiosities and research unravel before him. Isn't this what he wanted? How could he ever tire of this? And he doesn't.

While he has changed in form to shed his mortal ties, he is still the man he always was underneath: sensitive and of grand emotion who feels deeply. For so long he had yearned for somebody to love and for them to love him unconditionally in return.

It is not the same without Rook by his side for how can one truly connect themselves to lives which burn out like matchsticks? How could he let them when all that he is is glittering gold and polished bone, hollow and cold? How can he share what he feels with the seemingly unmovable faces of his colleagues in lichdom? They do not understand him. They think him idealistic and naïve.

"This is what you gave up, young Volkarin. In another century, you won't have these worries at all."

Another century alone? How--

How can he bear it? How can any of them?

The only way for Rook to fulfill this commitment would be to join him in undeath, and that is only if they are a fellow Watcher and if they hold the same ambitions as he.

SCP 166 yap that 8 people wanted

Meridiana (or Meri, for short) Is naturally shy and kind of awkward, as she grew up in a literal nunnery. She likes to draw and paint and does so often. Her religion is a massive source of comfort to her, and she might spend a hour praying every day. Meri’s ability to degrade man made objects can be controlled by a collar similar to one reality benders might wear, and she can control what plants grow where. 

In interacting with other humanoid scps, she is kind, if a bit timid. TJs (590) unofficial babysitter and Iris’s (105) best friend. (Iris has a crush on her, but she is oblivious) Between her abilities to grow plants and her biblical knowledge and faith, she is the only one who can mediate Able and Cain in the unfortunate incident that they interact. She pities Able, and is friends with Cain, after she got over her initial fear of meeting who she believes to be the first murderer. Cain thinks that she could reverse his curse, but will not ask her to do so, as if she could that would prove she’s more powerful than a curse put by God.

Meri doesn’t blame her father for killing her mother. When she was 17 she got nightmares of a dark figure detailing her ability to end the world in service of the Scarlet King. They eventually stopped after Meri decided to confront the figure. This was the only time ever she told anyone to ‘go to hell’ She was able to connect the dots with the letter she got, and refuses to tell anyone about her dreams. After this incident, Meridiana started working to control her abilities more, to prevent doing anything she would regret. 

Meridiana adores her father unconditionally, and Clef adores her right back. The 05s approved an hour and a half of interaction every day, and junior staffers know that if you want an experiment approved, go to Clef right after that time. Meri and TJ have been branded ‘nepo babies’ by other anomalies, but she doesn’t mind. 

EDIT: hey might write a fic about this. What’s the juries verdict?

EDIT 2: okay I made some art
