crying in the club over how fucking pretty Vax is - again

[vaxyl]

Updated welcome post for my 18+ Briarvax sideblog. 💕

This side blog is basically just @vaxxy-the-raven, but...

SPICY

This blog is for all of my ideas and headcanons about the dark ships Briarvax (Vax'ildan x The Briarwoods) & Syvax (Vax'ildan x Sylas). 👀

If I'm ever able to post my corrupted!Vax Briarvax fic, I'll probably post it here as an alternative reading location for people who don't like AO3.

WARNING

Dark Ship is not meant to be feel good, innocent or even remotely wholesome!!

It's usually really messed up and explores dark topics such as abuse, non-consensual themes & toxic relationships.

I only explore these ships as a means of exploring my own trauma and as a safe outlet for my intrusive thoughts.

Only read if you think you are comfortable with such ships and/or topics! Stay safe! 💕

once again thinking about Crimson Diplomacy and The Feast Of Realms at 3am

just.... Vax pretty, both before and especially after being bitten... the Briarwoods sexy, Sylas before and after painting his lips with Vax's blood... Liam's fucking speech in Crimson Diplomacy when he thought Vax was dying... Sylas caressing Vax's cheek...

if I hadn't already known I was bisexual before these episodes, then holy fuck

[vaxyl]

Feeling kinda gay this 5am and I've not slept at all

So have an assortment of Vax edits where I've made him blush because he a cutie

mostly season 1, but 2 are from season 2... need to make more of these edits tbh

Vax is such a cutie

GALE'S ACTOR RESPONDED TO ME IM SCREAMING

[vaxyl]

thinking about Vex and Vax protecting each other in their own little ways

Vax takes the physical brunt of everything. Nothing ever touches Vex if he can help it, but he often gets severely injured while shielding her

Vex stands up for Vax in arguments and shuts off her own emotions when he needs her to hold him together, stunting her own emotional development so that Vax never has to hide his tears

Vax making dodgy deals that keep Vex safe, but that puts his own life in jeopardy without a second thought

Vex running in with reckless abandon to save Vax with no thought for anyone else, endangering everyone to protect her twin

Vax redirecting Syldor's anger onto himself to protect Vex from as much of it as possible, ultimately hurting her more because she has to watch him suffer for her

Vex growing to hate their mother for letting this all happen to her kids, to Vax, and Vax being hurt by it

the twins would do anything for each other, including killing others or actually dying

Once upon a time they were somewhat carefree kids with a safe, loving home

Now they are trained hunters relearning how to live after surviving many horrors

But don't think about hurting either of them for a second

Because where one goes, the other is never far behind...

And they will do ANYTHING for their beloved twin

[vaxyl]

love that people could very well have mistaken Vax for being a follower of the bertaryer god The Cloaked Serpent because he is an assassin who uses poisons (on his daggers) and he has a magical snake belt

wonder if that ever got him and the party into trouble

[vaxyl]

Vax'ildan would love, just absolutely love, Halloween.

You get to dress up?

It's okay to be a mischievous bitch and prank people?

You get to stuff your face with candy until you're sick?

Vax'ildan would rule it, honestly. It'd be his day.

What a giggidy bitch he'd be, always winning best costume.

He is so that friend who would sneakily swap your candy with his candy without telling you so that he only has all of the things that he likes.

And he probably acts all sweet and innocent as he plots out some fun and harmless Halloween pranks.

He's an utter menance, and his sweet tooth knows no end - it's the perfect Vax holiday.

I don't celebrate anymore, but if Vax came to my door while trick or treating, you know damn well I'm giving him the best candy I fucking can.

Fuck everyone else, tho. 😇

Sylas @ Vax

Change my mind.

(you can't)

but what if a vampire drank the blood of someone who was anemic like would they be seriously grossed out

“what the fuck is this”

“i have anemia”

“can you take something for that you should probably take something for that this shit is nasty to drink let alone have running through your body i’m setting up a doctor’s appointment for you”

Thinking about how Vox Machina feels about different seasons and types of weather;

Percy grew up in Whitestone where it's always cold, but it can always get much colder.

He definitely prefers summer, when it's warmer and it's less likely to snow - it had been snowing when the Briarwoods betrayed his family after all.

He also hates the rain, the sound of it anyway, and he much prefers a warm sunny day to a cool spring or autumn one - but his favourite day of the year is in autumn; Vex (and Vax's) birthday is in Sydenstar.

Keyleth, as a druid, is expected to love all weather and seasons, but in truth? she hates winter, she hates snow and she hates ice unless she's directly making it and shooting it at enemies.

She prefers the summer when it's warm and sunny with nary a cloud in the sky, or in early autumn where it's still warm but everything is red and brown and it rains so much.

She loves the smell of petrichor and loves dancing in the warm rain with her partner - it's just so freeing and silly and fun.

Scanlan has a bone deep hate towards summer in Tal'dorei, its too humid and too heavy in comparison to summer back home in Marquet - the heat there was dryer and less suffocating in his opinion.

He loves the winter here, though, and is fascinated with snow even after experiencing it for so many long years now.

He also loves the mistletoe tradition surrounding the very cute Tal'dorein holiday called Winter's Crest - if people call him a menace, so fucking be it.

Pike loves all of the seasons, but she hates rain and snow.

She prefers when it's warm and dry, a cool breeze on the air, and loves to go on picnics with her loved ones outdoors during the late spring to early autumn.

She grows tired in the winter, however, and can become sad all too easily throughout it.

Vex prefers the spring, when all of the flowers bloom and the baby animals tend to be born.

She loves making daisy chains with her brother, she loves cloud gazing with Trinket and she unironically loves to frollick in the wheat fields outside of Whitestone like she did in the fields outside of Byroden as a young and innocent little kid.

She hates winter, though, the month of loss and grief darkens her heart, it leaves her feeling so cold and lonely. So sad.

Grog is indifferent to basically everything weather or season related, but he loves jumping in big piles of fallen leaves and he loves drinking nutmeg and he loves watching the baby animals learn to walk and he loves their beach vacations.

He gets a bit overprotective of his loved ones in the winter, sees some of them get really sad and tired all of a sudden but doesn't understand why.

But Grog personally loves snow and enjoys Winter's Crest a good bit, so he doesn't mind shouldering the weight of his friends' seasonal depression.

Vax is an autumnal boy, with winter being a close second favourite of his, followed by spring - summer isn't even in the running, it's just too warm and sunny for the rogue's liking.

He loves participating in all of the different seasonal holidays - Harvestfest, Winter's Crest, Blessed Tenday, Lover's Day, The Artisan's Faire etc. - and he loves getting everyone gifts.

However, he too suffers from seasonal depression like Vex and Pike do - his is more just an extension of his pre-existing depression, but it still happens to him all the same in the end.

Guess you could say I've played some BG3. 🤷‍♂️

[vaxyl]

The second I saw this clip in the trailer I had to redraw it.

Just a fun little piece.

I really like the idea of an adult Vax and Vex finding an embarrassing wanted poster for themselves from back when they were in their late teens/early 20s.

[vaxyl]

Me with Vax'ildan, Delilah Briarwood, Sylas Briarwood, briarvax, Shaun Gilmore, vax'ilmore, Percy De Rolo, percyvax, Vex'ahlia, Mollymauk Tealeaf, Caleb Widogast and widomauk.

Sorry, Li? XD

Angsty Twin Headcanon Time

Just some angsty Vax & Vex headcanons from my fanon!

(warning! this post includes implied self-harm, referenced child abuse, referenced transphobia, referenced ableism & implied SA)

Vax and Vex hate certain things about each other, some that remind them of their parents in one way or another and others that just leave them heartbroken -

Vex has their father's anger, shouting and hitting things when she gets really pissed off - sometimes Vax will put himself in her way on purpose so she only hurts him while she rages.

Vax goes all distant and shuts down verbally when he gets angry, keeping it to himself and bottling it all up until he eventually explodes, usually hurting himself in some way to try & keep his anger in check.

Vex is very unaffectionate and even pushes Vax away when he tries to hug her, not because she hates affection but because she's scared of being weak and letting down her guard.

Vax is quite stubborn and doesn't care for the rules, doing whatever he wants when he wants to, just like their father used to do - he often ends up hurt as a result, that or arrested.

Vex looks almost exactly like Elaina did and always complains about it - It's something that just breaks Vax's little "momma's boy" heart every time she does.

Vax (a trans man) looks a lot like a younger and more feminine presenting Syldor & he hates that a lot - Vex does too, but she could never tell Vax that.

Vex bad mouths Elaina for not trying harder to save the twins from Syldor, but Vax knows that she just uses it as front to actually bad mouth herself.

Vax is loyal to a fault, ready to die for anyone who is even the remotest bit nice to him even just once.

Vex trusts nobody at all and only worries about herself, Vax, Trinket, and her closest of friends.

Vax has learning disabilities such as dyslexia and dyscalculia, being autistic and ocd (not op projecting at all), and this has caused people to get frustrated with him a lot to the point of fights and arguments.

Vex is also autistic and ocd, but masks rather heavily out of shame that her father instilled in her.

Vax is Rudiusborn and has been having night terrors since he was born. Since they were 10 and moved into separate rooms, he's always ran to wake Vex in search of comfort after a dream wakes him up - Vex won't tell him but she really wishes he'd stop it.

Both twins are bisexual and demiromantic with sexual trauma, but Vex is hyper sexual while Vax is sexually repulsed. They don't know this about each other and even believe each other to be the exact opposite.

When Vax first came out as trans, Vex didn't react well because she saw how much it angered Syldor - even now she still feels some residual anger as a very small part of her believes Vax coming out is what made Syldor get as abusive as he was.

Vax blames Vex for their mother's death, though he'd never tell her this - he thinks that if Vex hadn't forced them to stay in Syngorn for so long, they could have reunited with Elaina before Byroden was destroyed by Thordak, as if Thordak would never have went near Byroden had they went home first.

Vax hates being called Scrawny, and Vex hates being called Stubby, but they both endure the others' nickname for them because they know that they're not maliciously intended or anything.

Vex knows Vax was Clasp because of her and hates herself for it very deeply.

Vax knows Vex lied about how she found Trinket, but he doesn't want to upset her by asking for the truth about what happened to give her the scar over her right eye.

Love that The Cerberus Assembly seem to have a weird obsession with my poor babies Vax & Vex, it's so creepy and weird but also kinda funny that at least 3 of their members are like that.

First Delilah Briarwood... I don't think I need to explain that one in great detail. My poor fucking twins have suffered so much because of Delilah and her husband.

Then there's Trent Ikithon, who... SEEMINGLY JUST FUCKING CASUALLY HAS NAKED STATUES OF THEM IN HIS HOME??? HELLO??? SIR??? EXCUSE ME??? TF???

And of course, Ludinus Da'leth and his bizarre af divinity orbification bullshit.

(The statues were probably just non-serious references to be cute, BUT IT'S SO WEIRD IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT??)

so uh...

CERBERUS ASSEMBLY STAY AWAY FROM VAX & VEX CHALLENGE PLEASE!!!!

edit - upon looking at the art again, Vex's statue seems to be wearing a dress actually?? but Vax's statue still looks fully naked, which only makes this 100x weirder 😭

icky-thong wtf? so gross
