Snakelet - Chapter 3
@augustofwhump Day 7 - Promise, + Guilt
Masterpost
cw: manipulation, reluctant whumper, nonhuman whumpee, used as bait, a bit of pre-torture brutalizing and manhandling, i thought i was done with the pet whump vibes but here he is in a collar and leash, very brief consideration of (tactical, temporary) suicide
Turns out I don't write if I don't take my meds lmao hi I'm back~
~
No. No, no, no, no, please. Please, this can't be it.
Having already hyperventilated enough to deplete all the oxygen in the bag, Ziri resorts to continuously tearing the flowers out of his horns.
How long has he been in here? Weeks? Months? Years? Decades?
He doesn't know. It's all blurring together.
If he's been disconnected from Janessa's necklace, he could probably escape through death. He'd end up back in the feywild, and then...
And then what? It could be millennia in the future when he returns to Thespia. She'd definitely kill off Zop by then. He can't bear to lose one of the only loved ones he has left.
All he can do is hope he's taken out of here before then.
...
.....
Time stretches on, and on, and on.
He's probably been hidden away somewhere. Abandoned. Forgotten about until the end of time. But he can't trust his judgement enough to pull the trigger. He's going to be here forever.
........
............!
Suddenly, a hand grabs him by the hair and yanks him upwards, thrusting him into a blinding light.
Oh, light. Glorious light. It's been so lo—
WHAM!
The hand slams him into a wall, turning his tears of relief into those of pain, dazing him too much to fight against the collar tightly latched around his neck.
"Wh—"
Before he gets a word out, he's shoved to the floor. A heavy knee plants itself on his back, and he chokes out a cry as a hollow snap! punctuates the lack of care for his wings.
Laughter echoes around the room, and his head is dragged up by the hair to see the source — a small crowd of unsettlingly enthusiastic creatures. He frantically struggles against his assailant, but all it earns him is his face bashed against the floor, leaving him even more dazed.
"Holy shit, Ziri?" A shrill cackle pierces through the crowd, and a green hag follows it, maneuvering her way towards him. "My, how you've grown."
"W-who­— you know— you remember me?"
"I don't forget those who wrong me, dear." She kneels over him and pinches his cheek. "Too bad your dreadful parents aren't here to save you this time."
Ziri squints at her, desperately trying to fight his scrambled brain to figure out who the hell this is.
He's certain he's never seen this hag before in his life.
What was that about his parents...?
...Fuck.
"Moldy?!"
"The one and only~" She flips her long hair with a smile as he tries to strain away from her, only to let out a miserable groan as his head collides with the floor again.
"Ngh... you— you still— all this to— augh!"
She plucks a scale from his face and examines it, humming. "Oh, no. Not me. Nerium has plans for you. It's just incredibly lucky that those plans allow us to make up for lost time, don't you think?"
"I-I'm not working for you. You can't make me."
"Obviously. I was cheated out of my chance to use you when you were as impressionable as my little haglet. That doesn't mean we can't still have some fun together, though, does it?" She sticks the scale in his mouth, and unfortunately, the hand gripping his hair prevents him from biting her. "How is Vile nowadays, anyway?"
Ziri spits the scale at her. "Zip. And my sibling is better off with Janessa than they ever were with you."
"Zip?" Moldy cackles. "With a name like that, I have to disagree. Do you really expect me to believe Janessa's doing them any more good?"
"Juck off. Don't pretend you— if you really cared about them, you'd let me go." His breath quickens as the severity of the situation hits him all at once. "Please— please, let me go. Without me, she'll hurt them again, or— if she already has, she'll keep torturing them, and— p-please, you have to—"
"I promise I'll return you to her, okay?" A smaller voice rings out as a pixie enters his field of vision. They furrow their brow at him, their expression troubled. "I just... I only took you yesterday because I need your help. Just one little thing, and you can go back."
Yesterday. Despite everything, the word lifts a weight from his chest.
It's only been a day.
"Come on, Nerium. You're being too easy on him."
Nerium glares at Ol' Moldy, who rolls her eyes and backs off, and takes her place in front of Ziri's face. "You know Janessa well, don't you?"
"I-I..." Ziri hesitates, suddenly wondering if this is some sort of elaborate, fucked-up test. "Are you asking me to— I can't betray her. I'm, uh.. loyal. Very— AAAGH!"
A scream tears out of him as the brute slams his head against the floor again while simultaneously pressing their knee hard into his broken wing.
"That's enough, Soren," Nerium warns. "Let him go."
The brute — Soren, apparently — grunts and steps off his back. With a grateful, pained smile, Ziri catches his breath, desperately dtrying not to start sobbing outright. Once he's collected himself, he holds his wing steady and stumbles to his hooves. The pixie follows him upwards, a look of pity on their own face.
"You're loyal for your sibling's sake, aren't you?"
He sighs and nods.
"Then I'm not going to interrogate you. I just need you to answer one question, alright? It... it might make things easier on you, depending on the answer."
"Easier... how?"
Nerium avoids eye contact. "What does she care about?"
Well... that doesn't sound too traitorous to answer.
"I'm still not sure. Hurting people? Power? Hurting people for power?"
"No, I mean— People. Things. Fuck, pets, even. Anything I can use against her. Even she has a family, right?"
"I don't think she likes them very much. I can count the times she's mentioned them on one hand."
"A lover, then. Someone she's absolutely infatuated with who's as horrible as her."
"She doesn't really.. do 'love'."
"Fuck me. Anyone, Ziri. Anyone she gives a single shit about who deserves this more than one of her victims."
Ziri swallows, suddenly managing to feel even more unsafe. He scours his brain for anyone who might fit the bill, and in lieu of that, anyone believable enough who deserves to be thrown under the bus in his stead. He must take too long, though, because Nerium suddenly snaps, "Do not lie to me."
"...Forgive me. I can't... I can't think of anyone."
With a pained grimace, they turn away from him. Ol' Moldy steps up and cups their hands around them, false sympathy written all over her face.
"You can't give up now, dear. You've come so far already."
"Ner— AGH—!" Ziri launches forward, suddenly driven to shove the two apart, but he's jerked back by the neck into Soren's arms, his wing crushed between the two bodies. A firm hand clasps over his mouth before he can counter Moldy's manipulation, and any attempt has their grip tighten painfully. Afraid of getting his jaw crushed, he gets the memo and quiets down.
"You know what's at stake. And if he's your only option, then, well..." Moldy shoots him a smirk. "That's just how it is, I'm afraid."
"...He doesn't deserve this."
"And neither does Rosie. At least this way, they'll both be safe in the end, hm?"
Nerium takes a deep breath and balls their hands into fists. When they turn towards Ziri, Soren lets him go.
"N-Nerium, she's—"
"Don't act like you know what's going on. I don't want to hear it."
"But—"
"Enough!" They shout, though their anger doesn't seem entirely directed at him. "If Janessa doesn't do love, then whatever she's got going on with you will have to do."
"There's— she's got nothing going on with me, I don't—" He laughs nervously. "She's treated me like dirt since the moment she got her hands on me, what makes you think—"
"She looked terrified when Moldy took you. And before that, she even seemed.. concerned about you. I don't know a single person she's shown an ounce more care for."
"That's not— I don't know why she was so weird about hurting me, but the fear— that's just because I know too much, not because she cares about me specifically."
"Great. Two more reasons why you're my best bet." They take another deep breath, and their expression hardens. "Alright, then. For all her cruelty, she does have some limits, doesn't she? I know she doesn't hurt children, but surely she has more. Especially with you."
The few times Janessa's ever expressed limits flash through his mind. He decides honesty might not be the best policy and shakes his head, instantly regretting the decision when Nerium looks even more pissed.
"Do NOT lie to me, Ziri," they growl. "Rest assured, my friends don't have quite the same limits as she does. Isn't that right?"
Everyone else in the room lets out a terrifying cheer.
"Please. Please, whatever you're trying to do, it— it won't work. Sh-she doesn't— please!"
Nerium flies towards the door, not listening to a word. "The bare minimum, guys. The least damage needed to get to her."
"Mmm, but she must be pretty numb to torture by now, dear. Getting through to her may take quite a lot."
They wordlessly leave the room with a huff, the door slamming behind them.
Leaving Ziri alone with their... "friends."

AITA for realizing that my best friend is actually a ghost and not telling him because i'm worried that if he realizes he's dead he'll finally be able to accept it and fully pass on and i won't be able to hang out with him anymore?

People with siblings or know a pair of siblings I've got a question for you
the other day I had a conversation with a guy who said sibling friendships don't really count bc that's family and I'm just like, ??? yeah that's my family but I can also like my sister as a person and have a friendship with her. So I'm just curious to see what the general vibe here is.
btw the "it's complicated" option is for ppl who are either estranged siblings, parenting their siblings, or some other issue they've got going on not any weird freak shit(ifkyk)
Anyways choose your option and if want you can explain in the tags

One thing I've noticed about Piltover, not only do they not take disabled people into consideration(i.e. Salo and Viktor), they don't even think about their non-human residents. Steb being the number person to use as my evidence.
Tumblr media
Stebs uniform when we first meet him is the typical enforcer uniform. The only difference is you can clearly see that Steb wasn't given a uniform that took his biology into consideration. The collar of the uniform goes up to the fin that's on the back of head/neck, and for fishes fins can be used to feel around them so I doubt having something rubbing up against the end of it all day is comfortable. Not only that but we know that his ears can move and are seen facing more outwards and away from his head, his hat wouldn't allow that and would make it very uncomfortable. The straps of his hat also cover the gils on his jaw and that as well would be uncomfortable, they're silts in his skin that would most likely allow him to breathe underwater so having fabric rub against it would be uncomfortable.
In conclusion, his uniform wasn't made with him in mind. His uniform would be fine for the typical human, the collar might be annoying but not uncomfortable for some. The hat wouldn't cause discomfort as well, it would be like wearing a typical hat or even just like a helmet. But that's for a human, Steb clearly isn't human. He's more fish-esque than human, his biology is different meaning his needs are different. His uniform doesn't fit those needs.
Tumblr media
His uniform for Caitlyns striketeam is better suited for his needs(at least some of them). The collar goes out more, it's not rubbing up against his fin. His hat is much different, it's no longer covering his ears and it doesn't have straps that covers his gils.
Obviously Caitlyn had a say on the uniforms because they're part of her striketeam but she also took in Stebs needs and how his old uniform wasn't made with him in mind. So she made the suitable changes, even if they don't seem important, for Steb it most likely made his uniform more comfortable.
Tumblr media
His uniform in act3, while it seems different than the others around him based on the fact that it doesn't have a belt and his arm things are black with minimal gold outlines, it still seems like the typical enforcer uniform based on the color scheme. Not only that but it looks similar to his uniform when he was on Caitlyns striketeam.
His collar still pokes out and away from his fin. His hat doesn't cover his ears and it doesn't have a strap that covers his gils.
This uniform takes in his biology, probably more than the two previous ones he wore based on the fact that it looks much more different. Graysons uniform and Marcus' uniform never looked like the one Steb wears in act3 and both of them were of a higher rank than Steb. So it's safe to assume that this new uniform that Steb wears is better sited for his needs.
Basically before all of this, Piltover never took in their non-human residents into consideration when doing things despite having Heimerdinger(a non-human) as a councilor and founder. Steb is a prime example of that, he shows this fact with the different uniforms he wears when on screen.

i am fucking Thinking about how death is handled in destiny 2 once again.
in regards to guardians it’s almost treated as like a joke or something deeply unserious? possibly even alien in a way due to how we kill and destroy and wreck havoc against our alien foes, but we ourselves never die. it’s really interesting to me cause there really isn’t a lot that can permanently kill a guardian so it makes sense we’d have this perception. like off the top of my head you have weapons of sorrow, hive rituals where the light is drained from a guardian, and paracausal beings which ofc includes other guardians. but that isn’t a lot, most deaths are not permanent and so this perception of death among guardians seems like death really isnt that big of a deal.
we jump off the tower and then get resurrected and have a little laugh about it. guardians constantly kill each other for fun in crucible. we are always doing incredibly stupid shit but we are rewarded because our enemies do not share in our immortality. it’s fascinating bc this not only makes us become riskier as time goes on due to being rewarded (enemies defeated) for our lack of self preservation, but this also makes guardians as a whole uniquely unsuited to handle grief and loss. if you spend your whole unlife winning and thinking that if a friend dies they’ll just come right back, it’s such a shock if (or rather when) they actually do die permanently. and then that guardian has to spend the rest of their immortal, undying life remembering. they have to live with that while they watch the newer guardians flood into the tower with the same naive disposition as they once had.
i’m sure guardians know theoretically they could die permanently at any point, especially because of those like dredgen yor, but i feel like for most it’s one of those things that most would say “well that would never happen to me” until it does happen. guardians seem to just have this inability to let go and it makes me want to bite drywall because i think abt it too long and start going feral. like!! the past may be the past but it sure doesn’t feel like it when you’re immortal and you remember that shit clear as day!!! aghhhh pacing around my room in circles and eating ROCKS
