Voltober 8. The King is Dead - Kindled Scales

Author's notes: SUP! This is for a thought project with @percy-frayer I love Damien and Duulan and Kitsen. Kitsen was ready to try out being a King but he was not aware of how much work it was really going to be.

Royal Whumpee | Dungeon | Coup

Kitsen closed the door to his bedroom at the palace and sighed heavily. He just wanted to go home to his cliff side mansion, but he would need to stay in the palace for a full year before he could start wandering out an about again. The tradition for new royals to be trapped in the palace wasn’t just a silly whim followed ruler after ruler. They had to be here to protect their new position in the court for the full year. After Kitsen had killed the old queen, he wasn’t in the clear. The throne was technically up for grabs until someone had occupied it for a full year. Then the attempts on his life would be fully forbidden by the rules and magicks of the court.

Kitsen slipped out of his formal clothing, untying his sashes and pulling off his tabbard and jewels, finally putting on a simple robe and tying it around his waist, slipping his wings gently out of the opening in the back. He sighed softly, more comfortable now. He’d just spend a little bit of time with Duulan and Damien and then go straight to bed. He had a table full of correspondence on his table he needed to get through and he needed to read through the extensive laws and magicks of the fae courts and memorize it all to hold his place as king of the court, but he was just too tired now. He’d have to do all of that in the morning. He had been spending so much time getting to know the fae of the courts and reorganizing the structure of the court to something a bit healthier. On top of that, he’d been trying to pick out his consorts so the fighting would stop as fae jostled to be in his good graces. He just didn’t have much time for himself. Maybe he should just set aside some time over the next couple of days. Some quiet would be nice, even if it did mean parsing through the old rules of the throne.

Kitsen opened up a door that led to the connected rooms where his friends stayed. He was glad they had agreed to stay with him here in the court. He would have gone crazy if he couldn’t just go find them when he needed to vent about the inane nonsense he’d been forced to care about since becoming King. He was still glad to be King, it was what he always wanted and had worked toward, but he wished he had been able to prepare for it more. He’d done the best he could, but with so much of it locked behind the queen’s own doors, it had been impossible to really be prepared for the work he had to do.

In a year this would all be worth it. He would be fine in a year. He would have it all worked out and then it would just be a matter of maintaining it. He could do that.

He knocked gently on the closed door that led to Damien’s room. Damien should be in there, since it was closed. He waited a moment before frowning and knocking again.

“Damien?” he called gently. He winced as he realized Damien might be asleep. He took a step back, sharp disappointment in his throat as he walked down to Duulan’s room.

He didn’t have to knock with Duulan. He had at the beginning of their relationship, but it had been a long time since Duulan told him to stop doing that and just come in, even if he was changing or sleeping.

Kitsen opened the door, breathing out a heavy sigh. “Duulan? Are you awake? I-”

Someone slammed the door as he was most of the way through it, catching his wing between the door and the frame.

He screamed out, the bones in his phalanges breaking under the pressure and his membrane tearing as he tried to jerk his wing out.

Someone leapt at him, grabbing his horns to drag him down violently.

He lashed out, his clawed fingers catching in flesh as he threw them off. Someone latched onto him from behind and he grabbed them, throwing them off his back. He finally wrenched his wing from the door and faced his attackers, getting a proper look at them.

The two were more animalistic fae, tiger like and very angry. Kitsen had caught one in the ribs, blood leaking down his side. The wound was deep, Kitsen knew, but the two fae, likely siblings, were being propelled by adrenaline and rage, and it always took a while for a wound to stagger a fae.

Kitsen bared his sharp teeth, his fangs proudly on display as he crouched. “Think carefully about what you do next,” he hissed. “I will not tolerate assassins in my palace.”

The tigers snarled in unison, tails lashing, before the dove for him again, forcing him to defend himself on both sides as they came at him from two different angles.

Still, he was bigger than them, and even through the pain, he could hold his own with his hands and his wings. He could ignore the pain himself.

The wounded tiger was beginning to flag, gasping for air and letting his sibling take on the main attacks.

Kitsen landed a back handed swipe to the sibling, slicing gashes deep into their face.

The tigers fell back into the bedroom, hissing and growling as Kitsen drew himself up to his full height. He lifted a hand, preparing to cast a binding spell he had learned from his studies in the magic arts of the rulers of the courts, when the injured tiger yowled and Kitsen heard something outside the door.

“Help!”

Kitsen froze as a yelp of pain came from the same voice. He whipped around and opened the door, staring out at what was going on.

A fae with gilded paper wings grinned at him, her hair falling over her eyes so he couldn’t see them. “Sorry to bother you, highness,” she said, tightening her elbow around Damien’s dark throat, his silvery eyes wide with fear as he struggled against the headlock, twisted where she held his wrists down at his hips in one hand. “But perhaps we could have a civilized conversation.

Kitsen bared his teeth at her. “Civilized!? You call this civilized!?” Still, he didn’t move another step, terrified of what she might do to Damien, who had already been through more than enough as a slave in this terribly upside down court.

“Oh, yes. Mm, so it’s true you care about humans. I felt that you would, but it is strange for one such as yourself to be worried about someone like him. Sure, he is beautiful, and I have never seen a human with freckles like metal shards in their face, but I don’t mind killing him, do I make myself clear?”

“You kill him, and there is nothing I won’t do to make sure you suffer for 15 years before you die,” Kitsen seethed.

She clicked her tongue, raising her elbow so Damien choked and had to stand on his tiptoes to breath. “But I could hurt him, couldn’t I.”

She had him. There was nothing Kitsen could do. It must have shown in his face how defeated he was as she threw back her head a laughed before looking back at him.

“Kneel.”

He hesitated, for only a moment before he dropped to his knees.

She dropped her elbow and Damien gasped in a breath, tears clumping his white eyelashes together. “No! Kitsen, don’’t-”

“Shut it,” the fae hissed in his ear before nipping at it, causing him to yelp as her sharp teeth drew blood. “Anything you do to annoy me will be met with pain, too. You will both do exactly as I say, understand me?”

Kitsen nodded numbly and Damien drew in a shuddery breath.

“Good. I am Minerva. And I am going to be the queen of the Autumn Courts. Ly! Ty!”

The tiger siblings came out, the injured one breathing raggedly.

“Mistress, Ty is injured,” Ly said softly. “May we go find a healer.”

“If he can find one, he can. You are going to bind our King and escort him to my rooms. I will need to play with him tonight to finish planning out how I will announce myself as Queen. I have to outdo him, at least. He’s made it difficult, though, what with the way he took the Queen’s head off in court.”

Kitsen growled low in his chest as Ly nodded, making sure Ty could walk before grabbing him by a horn to make sure he didn’t skewer them while they reached for his wrist.

Kitsen stared directly at Damien, trying to tell him it would be fine. He would find a way out and he would not let any harm come to the white haired human.

He caught a glimpse of movement behind Minerva and felt his spirits rise as he guessed who was approaching silently from behind, keeping his eyes locked on Damien’s.

Just as Minerva opened her mouth to make demands that Ly go faster, a heavy statuette came down on her head and she crumpled.

Kitsen overpowered Ly and drove his horns through their guts, shaking Ly hard, sending their body flying to smack into a wall as they spasmed and cried out piteously.

Kitsen got up, stumbling to where Duulan, his pumpkin headed servant and best friend, was helping Damien up, hugging him and telling him it would be alright.

“Damien! Are you hurt?” Kitsen asked, pulling Duulan and the human into a hug.

Damien nodded, swallowing hard. “I’m fine.”

“No, you’re not! You’re bleeding!”

“It’s just a scratch on my ear. You’re bleeding too!”

Kitsen was very uninterested in the bleeding scratches on his neck and back where the tigers had tried to hang onto him. “It’s fine. Did they hurt you? Did she crush your throat at all? Can you still breathe? This is all my fault! I should have brought Putac and Leor and had them go where you went. I-”

“Kitsen!” Duulan said soothingly, letting go of Damien and grabbing Kitsen’s face. “Relax. It’s fine. Where else are you hurt?”

“I-My wing. I think it’s broken.”

Duulan nodded. “I will find a healer and make sure these ones are dead. Go to Damien’s room and wait there. Please.”

Kitsen bowed his head. “Okay.”

“Good,” Duulan said, a bounce in his step as he drew out a knife. “I will be back shortly.”

Kitsen turned from Duulan’s upbeat malice to Damien’s shaking form, wrapping his unbroken wing around him like he did when sneaking him away from Erix to make sure he got some food. “We’d better do as he says,” he told Damien softly. “It’s okay, now. I am so sorry I allowed this to happen.”

“It’s alright,” Damien replied, leaning into Kitsen’s side. “It’s not your fault.”

Kitsen sighed, but allowed the statement to pass with no comment.

hesho crochet plushie!! still gotta paint on all of the red bits and make his clothes but i wanted to share because i'm super proud!

first time making my own pattern for something and yeahhh it didn't turn out as good as the initial drawing, and he's too big (18-19 cm when canon height is 15 cm) but he's SUPER cute <3 the only part that turned out the right size is the ear, which is 5 cm

here's my to-scale drawing and the written pattern! i'll probably type it up so that it's all neater lol

still debating whether i want to make the clothes out of felt or yarn.. i'll probably just use felt because that will be much easier lol

more pics under cut!

i'd tweak the tail if i wern't too lazy to go back and undo the whole thing to skip the first two rows.. lol

official artwork of hesho/a kitsen ^^^ struggled to get the head shape right with my lack of skill lolll

Ichigo Kurosaki but as Cat Noir

Well, his name is actually Hell Cat, but that’s not important. Basically I’m trying to design an Ichigo Kurosaki superhero look based on a black cat. This is for a Miraculous Ladybug AU, so he’d have the same power source as Cat Noir from the show.

I’d liked the green highlights from Lady Noire’s suit (who is Ladybug but with Cat Noir’s powers), but I worry I might have gone too far on some of the looks. Number 3 was my original design actually, and the others are variations, some of which I like better than the original.

Some choices I plan on keeping are the jacket and the tail. The jacket is cropped, and I’m keeping this as a vague reference to season 1 of Bleach where Ichigo just wore crop tops. The tail has a chain segment in the middle which is supposed to tie back to Zangetsu.

(I promise these are just mock-ups to get the design and coloring right, it will look much better when I actually work on it)

I’d also love to hear your thoughts on why you picked which option you did.

Or if you liked some aspects of multiple, please let me know what you think.

Thinking about Intergalactic politics and how even the name of the Superiority denotes the primary issue with it. Superiority, considering yourself better than others, better than outsiders. Just, ugh.

So, as Cuna keeps saying in Skyward flight, the Superiority is a bunch of diverse races living together in... relative harmony? I know I am not saying it as good as they did, but they have a point that it is a great aspect that they have. The problem is that it sort of ends there.

Everyone gets pissed off at the term lesser species, because why the heck wouldn't you despise being called lesser, being called inferior? This is my main issue with the Superiority as a government. Ideals that sound excellent to most, that of peace and living in harmony with one another, that have worked well when taken to the extreme with your people, you are suddenly introducing to all these alien races with different dispositions and degrees of inclination towards following it, and are telling them, you cannot join us, or be a part of our cool kids club, unless you do everything we like as perfectly as we do.

Okay, I'm coming back to this after far too long and don't remember where I was going with it, but I like this point and wanted to wrap it up by saying one more thing. The Humans from Detritus may be far from perfect in the intergalactic sphere, and are just stumbling along as they get introduced to it, but I love how they do indeed seem to be trying. They aren't trying to be superior. They aren't trying to press their ideals on anyone.

Oh, wait. That was the point I was going for, I remember now. The superiority pushes their ideals of peace and non-aggressiveness on everyone else. Which are ideals that are all well and good, but... they come from the diones (correct me if I'm wrong on any of this I'm operating off of memory) that evolved on a planet without any predators. Other species from planets with harsher conditions and whatnot obviously had to evolve differently to even survive. They claim to be inclusive and inviting to all species of intelligent life... but then they dictate what those species can and cannot do. I don't know if I'm adequately capturing my thoughts, but... this is just so frustrating.

Then compare it to the humans (back to my earlier point before I got distracted). They're just trying to survive. Yes, it is NICE to have interstellar communication and trade and travel with various species, but... that's thriving. Surviving comes first. And yes, maybe humans began wars back in the day. There are going to be wounds there that need healing, much like with what began as they established alliances in ReDawn and Evershore. But the superiority was in the wrong as well, deciding to absolutely destroy an entire race.

I... keep losing focus. Obviously there's a lot of things about all of this that is so complicated, but the humans are trying to navigate all of this for the first time, when they haven't even interacted with anyone outside of their own people in decades. Beyond the lifespan of even their oldest people. So they aren't perfect, not by any means. But when they are making their alliances, they are alliances. They are on equal terms with the Kitsen and the Ur'Dail. And they may be struggling but they are trying, from the right direction, unlike the superiority.

Doing it for the right reasons, not to have a monopoly on power. Approaching them on equal terms and taking their strengths and weaknesses where they're at instead of demanding that they meet their standards in order to join them. Just the contrast between Defiant and the superiority. How to do things wrong with a facade of being good or... how to at least try to make things right.
